--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. MENU TUTORIAL
(There are some minor spoilers in this section.)
*Items
*Abilities
*Equipment
*Status
*Options
*Save
The first option is your item list. It is organized in this order; All items
(ALL), consumables (Chest), weapons (sword), magic (book), armor (shield),
key items (!).
The second option shows one's equipment. Each character can have six types of
weapons and six types of magic on them at any given time. The monster-looking
icon is for monster attacks, or as they were known in the original, Talents.
You can use abilities like Recovery Magic through this option.
The third option actually equips weapons, magic, and armor onto the character.
Note the armor: you can have only one helmet, armor, gloves, and boots
equipped, unless you're a Mecha. Two accessories are available as well. Note
that you can equip things on monsters, but they will not apply since they
cannot use them in battle.
The fourth option shows the general status of a character. At the top is their
HP, and then in clockwise order from top left, Power, Agility, Defense, and
Magic. Below that is their species and their innate element. The lower left
shows their weapon skill level; you can press left and right to toggle between
weapons and magic. On the lower right is their resistances and weaknesses to
particular elements, status afflictions, and so forth.
The kinds of weapons shown in the menu are, going down the rows, Swords,
Greatswords, Blades, Katanas, Jutsus, Axes, Spears, Bows, Guns, and
Cannons. Magic is in this order: Fire, Water, Earth, Wind, Dark, Ancient,
Revival, Recovery, and Endowment.
Options splits up into three menus:
*Player's Notes
*Configuration
*Password
"Player Notes" splits up into still six more categories.
*Main Story Notes
*Event Notes
*Monster Notes
*Ability Notes
*Item Notes
*Stethelos Armaments
Main Story Notes are basically a synopsis of what has happened from one point
of the game to the next.
Event Notes show what you have to do in any Event you have, if you haven't
completed it yet. They are also a synopsis, in a way, of these sidequests.
There are quite a bit of Events in the game!
The Monster Notes give you a summary of any monster you've fought, with
abilities and attacks shadowed until you turn into that monster (disregarding
bosses). They're split into dozens of categories. There are usually five or six
kinds of each type of monster.
The Ability Notes detail all of the techs, spells, and attacks you've sparked
or learned throughout the game. Selecting one will show you which weapon or
tome is associated with it and what level tech it is on that particular
item. It will also show how many enemies it targets and that attack's
particular element. It goes in order by weapon and magic types.
Item Notes are split into four categories:
*Weapon Notes
*Magic Notes
*Armor Notes
*Consumable Notes
Selecting a weapon will show you which techs it has, its base element, if any,
and what type of weapon it is. Same goes with magic. With armor, you can see
how it will boost stats. You can also see stat boosts for other classes by
pressing Y: it cycles from Human/Esper, to Beast, to Mecha, to Cyborg.
The Stethelos Armaments are just that; it shows you which weapons you have for
the Remote Control. They power up as you scout enemies, and are obtained further
from some Events. You can keep track of the power of the weapons through this
menu, but that's about it.
In the "Configuration" menu, you have six options:
*Menu Color (with four options)
*Model Outline (on or off)
*Message Speed (with three options)
*Cursor Position Memory (do you want it to remember what you last selected?)
*HP Bar Display (show it in battle above characters during attacks or not)
*Reset (reset the whole thing)
For "Password", you have but two options:
*Input Password
*Password List
Passwords are found through the game in chests and such, and are used to unlock
certain Events and earn additional items or excavation spots. The first
option inputs any six-character password you may have from another source, like
this guide, for example. (Four-character passwords may also be entered in this
option, despite there being six spaces!)
The final option, "Save", can be used anywhere. Save often!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. MAIN INTERFACE
On the main screen you can see, on the top screen, a map of the area, the
status of your four or five characters (with quick HP Bars and species
indicators), and the name of the area. On the lower left is your money, the
lower right is how long you've been playing. The lower center has the Gears of
Time display, which will be explained later on.
The bottom screen shows your character, which can be changed with START. The
top left has a compass. You can use L and R to rotate the camera a full 360
(but only in dungeons) which is handy for looking around corners and such. Use
the control pad to move about, and hold B to walk. Press Y to activate the
Timestop Device, and X to access the menu. A will examine the terrain, and do
things like open chests, excavate certain areas, and talk to NPCs.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4. BATTLE INTERFACE
You enter your commands for characters in order: Dune, Polnaref, Milfie,
Sireugh, and your fifth. Your possible actions are as follows:
Use a weapon, cast a spell, use a talent, use an item, or do something else.
The "something else" is either Do Nothing, Flee, or Auto-Battle.
When you select any non-item action, you'll be given up to four choices for
using it. Each of these four are progressively stronger, but also use one
more point of the weapon's durability, or skill's spellcharges. Skills with
two swords next to their name can be linked in combos to other characters.
Each person's turn is shown on the top screen under the enemy group, right
above the drive you're using for the Gears of Time (changeable at any time with
Y and the directional buttons). People can link together in combos if they
both use the appropriate attack on the same enemy and are together in the turn
listing. A combo can end in a character achieving "transcendence", which
involves them using a tech they normally wouldn't know as a large finishing
move. This is completely random, however. You will be able to see if two
enemies will execute a combo, which you REALLY want to avoid by either getting
in the middle of their turn or just killing them first.
Winning a battle nets you no experience, because of the way this game works.
As you use skills, you will get progressively better in them. For example,
swinging at the enemy with a normal sword will possibly do one of three
things in addition to damage; increase your physical power, increase your
sword proficiency, or spark a new tech for that weapon. Sparking techs comes
easier with proficiency, but it mostly relies on luck. Almost anything you do
can increase your Maximum HP.
Once you win the battle, you do get a sum of money, and possibly an item.
Also, meat or parts may drop from one of the enemies you beat, and you have
the option of eating or installing it. You can use these to change your
species. Meat generally brings Humans and Espers to becoming Beasts, which
excel in Jutsus and have high agility and HP. Beasts who eat meat will
become Monsters, the same monsters you're actually fighting, which are variable
depending on what you eat and the strength of that particular meat. As for
parts, they will transform Humans and Espers into Cyborgs, who work well with
Greatswords and Axes and gain extra stats from their equipment. Cyborgs then
go towards being Mechas, who use double durability and can equip any kind of
armor in any slot. All classes have their merits (sort of) so experiment. Do
note, if a meat or part is the same element as a character (Dune is Fire,
Polnaref is Wind, Milfie is Water, Sireugh is Earth) they will not transform,
but instead possibly inherit that monster's skills/resistances into their own
repotoire. Likewise, if they install an opposite elemental part or meat (Fire
and Ice, Wind and Earth) they will go from human to esper and vice versa.
Humans excel in every kind of weapon, but particularly in Swords and Katanas.
Espers are good with Blades and Bows, and have great skill with Magic.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5. WALKTHROUGH
Now, for the meat of the guide. First off, choose "New Game", conviniently in
English. You can choose either Easy or Normal difficulty at the beginning. In
Easy, durability and spellcharges never go down, saving you a lot of money, but
they're otherwise the same. Pick whichever suits you and go for it, but this
guide is written with Normal in mind.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5.1. INTRODUCTION
The Diluvius. Ever since it mysteriously appeared years ago, it has been
flooding the world with both water and monsters. But there are some who would
stand against this otherworldly threat...
In the Town of Dharm, you'll be led inside a house by the camera, where you'll
be greeted by a purple-haired man. He will introduce the concept of "Passwords"
to you, wherein you get them throughout the game and they unlock rewards and
sidequests known as Events. He'll give you an example, 8da7, and this
is the only one you'll actually need to input. (It gives you five Salves.)
When you obtain passwords, they are automatically input; however, you can give
the password to your friend for them to get the reward earlier.
Now it's time to use the "Battle Trainer". But with whom, you might ask? Your
playable characters will then enter the room; in order, they are Dune,
Polnaref, and Milfie. You can choose out of four color schemes for them, the
first being the official. Dune will also get asked about a fourth, Sireugh, who
is also named and colored.
Now it's "OK!", so let's get to training.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TUTORIAL BATTLE: Two BitMice, One Fire Lizard
You have a number of Salves in your inventory that heal about 60 HP, so there's
that. Dune's only weapon is a Long Sword, so have him target something with it.
You can only use one attack from a weapon right now, so be patient. His weapon
is a normal one based on raw power, so he might get a power boost from it at
the end of his turn.
Polnaref's weapon is a Rapier, a weapon that calculates power with Agility
rather than physical strength. As such, if you use it you'll get agility
boosts rather than power boosts, if even. Polnaref also comes with a Wind
Tome, which is a Magic based attack. You'll be gaining a lot of Magic for your
espers later on, so for now just slam the enemies with your Rapier.
Milfie is nearly identical, except she has a Water Tome. The Fire Lizards
are weak to water, and the Bitmice are weak to wind, so if you wanted a
little boost you could use it. However, agility is a bit harder to come by,
so just use your normal weapons.
Now, your last character, Melrose is outfitted quite well. He has a
Battle Axe, Longsword, and Bastard Sword. Even though he's a human, he also
has a Fire Tome and Recovery Tome. He's a bit more powerful than
the rest of your characters, so feel free to just target anybody with his Axe,
hope it doesn't miss, and watch the sparks fly. Unlike the other three, he has
a second-level attack with his Axe, Power Slam. It deals more damage at the
cost of more durability (but since this is just a simulation, you're not losing
durability even if you're not on Easy Mode).
At the end of the battle you'll get 360 Kero, this game's currency.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Polnaref and Milfie are a bit smug about the victory. These three kids have
been training for a while to try and SAVE THE WORLD! But apparently this is
their last session and Melrose is a bit dissapointed he won't see you once you
set out in your journey. The four exchange some more words, and as Dune is
leaving Sireugh finds him to say goodbye. Aww, they love each other...
Later the group is talking with the Elder of Dharm about their mission. Sireugh
was too much of a wuss to see the group off, but eh. The elder tells them about
how they were sent from a destroyed future in order to keep the world afloat.
This was done by a man called Volage. Flashback time!
You see Volage, but only from the back, being confronted by a man in blue about
his "crazy" plan. But it seems the green-caped Volage is insistent. Who was
that other person...?
Volage's plan won't work if the future is already destroyed. But of course
we're going to try anyway. What kind of a game would this be if we stopped
now? After more chat, the elder gives you a key item, the Gears of Time, which
promptly appears on your top screen. It's from Volage, apparently. It doesn't
have any use at the moment, but just keep it in mind.
The party leaves the house and is quickly noticed by two youngsters, Dior
and Nemesis. They're super excited for the world to be saved! Doesn't Dior look
kind of familiar...? Dune assures them that the group will keep the world safe
for them, so no worries. The Elder will mark your next destination on the map,
the Shrine. But you have free roam now, so explore the town!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5.2. TOWN OF DHARM
WEAPON SHOP:
Sword-Longsword
Blade-Rapier
Axe-Battle Hammer
Jutsu-Punch
ARMOR SHOP:
Body-Leather Armor
Gloves-Hide Gloves
MAGIC SHOP:
Magic-Fire Tome
Magic-Recovery Tome
ITEM SHOP:
Item-Salve
Item-Eyedrops
Item-Gold Needle
Item-Antidote
SHOPPING TIPS:
Once you get the money, outfit everybody who needs it with the armor available,
first thing. You'll also want to buy a Punch for anybody that will transform
into a Beast. Battle Hammers are good for upcoming Cyborgs as well. Fire Magic
is optional for the moment, but if you do buy it, so much the better. Any human
should have several weapons at their disposal to take advantage of the
durability. But if you're just starting out, wait until you take a trip to the
Shrine first.
The Inn works like previous titles; you only pay as much as you're hurt. The
guy on the left will let you sleep; the guy on the right will restore your
weapons and magic to max durability, either selectively or all at once.
STORY PROGRESSION:
The Elder will ask you to go to the Shrine right before you're given free roam,
so go ahead and do it. You'll have to skip on the Pilgrim's Path due to the way
the map system tutorial works, so yeah. Just go.
EVENTS:
HUNT: DHARM OLD ROAD
Once you return from the Shrine, a man right at the entrance has a quest for
you. It's a Hunt on the Dharm Old Road that involves fighting a big bug. This
Giant Caucasus is located in the top right corner of the Dharm Old Road. Kill
it and return to the man to get 1500 Kero. Clearing it allows the next hunt
below this one to take place.
HUNT: PILGRIM'S PATH
In the center of the square is another quest. It's a hunt that is instead on the
Pilgrim's Path. The Giant Archeopetryx is near the north exit, by the center
lake. Return after slaying it for two Plated Boots. Equip them on whoever needs
them the most; they give 2 defense more than Sneakers.
HUNT: NORTH TOWER
Once you clear the last hunt, you can get this one from a lady in the cafe.
You must head to the North Tower and find a Large...r Eyeball on the second
floor and beat it senseless. Return for a Mythril Shield, which isn't half bad.
DIG: PILGRIM'S PATH
A boy in the cafe will correspond to the Password you find in the chest on
Dharm Old Road. There's nothing you can do about it until later, though. When
you do get the Excavation System, you'll find three Fire Stones there.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5.3. SHRINE
Here you'll find there are no monsters or shops or anything. After some banter,
you'll find that Melrose and Sireugh followed you here, and they will join your
party. Melrose is an "extra" character; his equipment cannot be switched out
for anything, so don't bother buying anything with him in mind.
The Elder will show the group the Stethelos at the bottom of the elevator; it
apparently was once capable of time travel. But to learn more about it, the
group has to head to Irem, across the sea. But protagonists of RPGs can't swim!
That's why the party has to head to the North Tower to get Muon. The Tower is
then added to your map. But before rushing into there, explore the field the
game made you pass up before coming here!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5.4. PILGRIM'S PATH
MONSTERS:
Archeopetryx-Wind
Fire Lizard-Fire
Bitmouse-Earth
Pig Man-Fire
MONSTER STRATEGIES:
Now that you're getting into your first real battles, you have to remember to
balance your actions. Though continually using the same thing will help to get
proficiency in that particular weapon, and whatever stat it uses for offense,
you need to make sure you keep other weapons and magic considered. Have
Polnaref and Milfie attack with their Rapiers so they can have Agility; a
crucial stat for any character. Likewise, when you get the chance buy a Rapier
or a Punch for Dune or Sireugh so they can work on Agility as well.
As you fight you're bound to spark techs. Try to get these for all weapons and
magic you have for everybody, excepting Melrose. The level 2 spell techs, Fira,
Blizzara, and Thundara, are capable of multitargeting in a group, which is nice
to make up for the increased cost. (Two identical monsters that have A and B
next to their names are in the same group.)
The monsters around here are fairly weak, so use this to your advantage for
gaining stats, sparking techs, and becoming proficient. Only the Pigman doesn't
have an elemental weakness you can exploit; Bitmice are still weak to wind,
Fire Lizards to water, and Archeopetryx to fire. Melrose's offensive magic
isn't all that strong since he's not an Esper, so don't worry about him.
TREASURE:
Password-Gift: Item 18
AREA NOTES:
This place has four exits, two of which are not usable at the moment because
you need Muon from the North Tower. The only treasure here is straight ahead
from the eastern exit, and it unlocks Gift: Item 18. Remember to rotate the
camera with L and R if you're confused.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5.5. DHARM OLD ROAD
MONSTERS:
Archeopetryx-Wind
Bitmouse-Earth
Crazy Horse-Fire
Fire Lizard-Fire
Pig Man-Fire
MONSTER STRATEGIES:
You're likely to run into your first Chain Encounter here, if you run into an
enemy in close proximity with another. This means you fight them in waves, one
right after another. For doing this you get, in addition to more chances to
up your stats, a money bonus for winning. Take advantage of them if you're
healthy.
You'll run into a horse monster called a Crazy Horse around here. Focus on
them, they're a step up from most other monsters in the area. They're not weak
to anything in particular, unfortunately.
Using two moves that have the dual sword icon next to them may result in a
combo attack. The two people using these moves have to act one right after the
other, and be targeting the same enemy or enemies. It results in increased
damage which is incremental the more people participate in the combo.
TREASURE:
Password-Dig: Pilgrim's Path
Blade-Rapier
AREA NOTES:
Just ahead of the south exit is a chest. It contains another password, for a
Password that will be useful later. Follow the hill down and go along the
road, and you'll run into a chest with a free Rapier inside. The only other
usable exit is further along the path. Once you're done training, make sure
your durability is high and head for the North Tower.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5.6. NORTH TOWER
MONSTERS:
Bitmouse-Earth
Caterpillar-Earth
Gel-Wind
Pebble-Neutral
Pig Man-Fire
Rhinoceros-Earth
Snapping Turtle-Water
Warrior Lizard-Wind
Werewolf-Fire
MONSTER STRATEGIES:
Gels can and will drain HP from you with their attacks, so try to finish
them off quickly. They're somewhat resiliant, and also weak to Fire, as are
Caterpillars. Pebbles, on the other hand, are weak to water, but pretty strong
against your physical moves. Snapping Turtles are very resiliant and pack a
punch, so if you run into a group of them just try and focus on one at a time.
Water works wonders against the Rhinoceroses.
By this point your espers' physical attacks are probably doing almost nothing,
so stick to the Tomes until you can get a stronger weapon. Keep Melrose's
healing spell in mind, it helps a bunch until you can get your own for your own
party. You can, in fact, sneak up on enemies to get preemptive strikes, so
staying out of their line of sight can help you get the jump and survive better.
They can do the same to you, so if you're running around, watch your back.
TREASURE:
Item-Potion
Helmet-Hide Cap
Password-Gift: Item 17
Magic-Fire Tome
Glove-Hide Gloves
Key Item-Muon
AREA NOTES:
The first floor of this area has a fair amount of monsters. There's a chest
right in the bottom right corner, containing a Potion. Not much else is on this
floor, so head up to the next one.
The treasure chest across the pit to the right looks tempting, but you cannot
get it now; you'll fall down if you try. Curving around the left and going to
the bottom center portion of this area will lead you to a different chest with
a helmet; give it to your weakest character, likely one of the espers, or a
beast if you have one. The opposite side also has a chest, with another
password. Head up the stairs now.
Right by the stairs on the third floor will be a pit. Fall down it to access
the other chest on the second floor you couldn't get. Inside is a free Fire
Tome, so give that to one of your espers, and try to spark Fira as soon as
you can! Fall down again to get to the first floor, and retrace your steps back
to the third. Go around to the bottom corner of the third floor to find yet
another chest, which has the glove you could have bought at Dharm; if you
didn't get it before, now's your chance. The fourth floor stairs are in the
center of the main part of the floor, and be ready before heading up!
Once you climb the stairs, you see what looks like a Pebble monster guarding
the chest. No problem, right? Well, the Pebble is quite huge now that you've
taken a good look at it.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOSS BATTLE: GIANT Pebble, BitMice
GIANT Pebble-Neutral 640 HP
STR 9 AGI 8
MAG 7 DEF 8
Abilities: Traits:
Tackle Immune Body
Water Vulnerable
Stone Immune
This is a Giant Monster Battle, and they're prominent in Events later on. Of
course, try to take out the other, smaller Bitmice monsters by its side first.
It's still weak to water, but being big it's not going to go down easy. It's
not a terribly hard battle, though, but an interesting one nonetheless. This
monster is different from other giant monsters in that it has unique stat
changes: it's not found anywhere in the Monster Notes. All the essential
information is there, however. It also cannot drop super meat like other
giant monsters, so don't try it. Sorry.
For winning, you'll get 420 Kero. Also, you'll get access to the chest with Muon
behind it! Now you can explore a bit more. Irem will be added to your map right
away. You'll have to walk out of the dungeon, so don't rest just yet.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On your way to Irem, you'll run into another field area, but pass it up for
now, as you'll want to buy some things in the town. Rest up at Dharm first,
though.

MAGIC SHOP:
You'll have to go into the Inn, head to the basement area, go into the hot

Item-Silver Needle (cures paralysis)
Item-Mallet (cures confusion)
Item-Molotov (damaging, fire)
SHOPPING TIPS:
If you haven't already, get some Recovery Tomes for any Espers in your party.
The Derringer is a good weapon for Mechas, too; it has a nice durability count.
Even if you won't use them, get a lot of weapons for your Cyborg for the stat
boosts they provide. Disregard the Endowment Tome, it's totally not worth it.
STORY PROGRESSION:
The big house at the bottom center is where Cronus, the man with the Stethelos
plan, resides. Dune will introduce himself, and Cronus will tell of the
Stethelos's parts that facilitate its use. Cronus will then give you a part,
the "Past Warp", usable for time travel to the past! However, he's still
searching for the "Future Warp". With that, you're able to head back to the
Shrine and warp to the past... perhaps. But explore the field area first, you
may need the training.
EVENTS:
HUNT: IREM HEIGHTS
This hunt is password exclusive [f31qx8]. Once you've input it, this hunt will
be given to you by a man at the south edge. Defeat the giant Crazy Horse found
at the bottom right corner of Irem Heights, and return for two Gold Gauntlets,
which are pretty good at this point in the game.
DIG: SOUTH TOWER
A woman in Cronus' house will give this to you if you're on a New Game+.
The spot you're looking for there will be just by the stairs to the fourth
floor, and it has three Wind Stones.
DIG: IREM HEIGHTS
There's a girl by the item shop that will give this quest to you on New Game+.
The point you're looking for will be near the top center portion, and you'll
get three Water Stones from it.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5.8. IREM HEIGHTS
MONSTERS:
Caucasus-Fire
Crazy Horse-Fire
Gel-Wind
Sprite-Wind
Warrior Lizard-Wind
Werewolf-Fire
MONSTER STRATEGIES:
The monsters here are mostly shared with the North Tower, so use the same
strategies. Remember that level two spells multitarget in a group, so
definitely take advantage of that. Sprites are quite frail, but also very
speedy. They'll cast basic spells on you but otherwise aren't worth fretting
about. If you've been working hard with your weapons and spells, you should
have some level 3 techs by now, so work on getting more.
TREASURE:
Password-Gift: Item 22
AREA NOTES:
Directly ahead of the leftmost exit is a chest with another password, Item 22.
Otherwise there's not much else to this place except monsters.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Make sure to save before entering the Shrine! Nothing much has changed here,
except for the slimy green creature in your way. It doesn't like the idea of
saving the world from the Diluvius. So, of course, we'll have to teach it a
lesson.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOSS BATTLE: Sahuagin
Sahuagin-Neutral 500 HP
STR 12 AGI 12
MAG 10 DEF 8
Abilities: Traits:
Claw All Status Immune
Wind Fire Vulnerable
Psycho Blast Water Resistant
Charge
Your first real boss battle is a fine one. You might as well go all out, so use
your best moves. It is not actually weak to Wind, like you'd expect, but to
Fire. It actually has some wind spells in addition to its normal attacks. But
It should go down in a couple of rounds, no big deal. You'll get a hefty
1200 Kero for winning.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Once you're done with the battle, proceed forward, and Melrose will decide that
this is your journey and somebody needs to protect Dharm. So, he'll be leaving
your party. It's unfortunate, but we need to make room for new people anyway.
Go down the elevator and enter the Stethelos.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5.9. STETHELOS
The time machine here has several different areas. The main one has a few
different friendly monsters that will provide different services. The Black
monster in the center of the first room will allow exchange of passwords
through DS Wireless Communications. In the room to the right there is a line
of shop-looking stands that you can't use right now. To the left of that is a
basement area with a fat green monster who you can store your items with. This
monster is also found in Inns around the world. The purple one with the green
hat will restore your durability. The other side of this area has a completely
empty room that you will furnish later. Head back to the first room by going
down from here, and enter the center door. This is the most important part of
the Stethelos.
Here there is a white monster who will give you the items from the item
passwords you've collected so far. At the top is the control panel, where you
can apply any parts of the Stethelos you've collected. Note the white circle by
the entrance of the room, though; it appears all around the Stethelos as a
quick way to warp from one room to the other.
Install the Past Warp onto the Stethelos, and select the first option to use
it! You'll be treated to a nice looking graphic where the Stethelos flies to
the left, indicating the past. Dune will also get put into a strange scene
where he's approached by a strange person wearing clothing reminiscent of the
Stethelos. He only names himself as a Wanderer. He'll tell you more about the
Gears of Time you got at Dharm, and how it manipulates time and such. The
man will not reveal anything about his background, but will enhance the Gears
of Time with the Past Drive, and vanish...
You'll be allowed free roam again. Proceed out of the Stethelos and out of the
Shrine to discover a brand new World Map. The pink creature you may have
noticed at the Shrine's entrance will repeat various tutorials.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5.10. PILGRIM'S PATH (past)
Upon entering, you'll meet with the past Elder, looking for a place to
construct a new town. Dune and Sireugh will converse with him a bit, and
he'll run off. Now, the area may look similar, but there is a lot different
about it!
MONSTERS:
Ares-Dark
Earthworm-Earth
Giant Eyeball-Earth
Red Dragon-Fire
Turtle-Water
MONSTER STRATEGIES:
Your updated Gears of Time serves a purpose in battle; if you press Y while the
action is happening, you can repeat the first action your party took at the end
of the turn, and this is able to be done as long as it has charge. You build up
charge by taking action in battle, and the maximum it can have is 5. Save the
Gears of Time for more dangerous situations, though.
The new enemies aroud here pack a major punch. Turtles can stun you and poison
you (likely in the same attack!), and Ares are just plain powerful. Focus all
your attacks on a single target, probably the Turtles to start. They're weak to
fire, as are the worms, so keep that in mind. You'll have to go through this
area to get to other places, so this time around you'll be earning that Inn!
Try your best to get preemptive strikes.
TREASURE:
Password-Gift: Item 19
Item-Coffee
Body-Bronze Mail
AREA NOTES:
If you're looking for civilization, the fastest way is through the left exit.
South leads to the Coastal Crossroads, and East leads to an empty patch of land
with nothing there... for now.
Just ahead of the south exit is a chest. It has the password for good ol' Gift:
Item 19. On the opposite side is another chest containing Coffee. There's also
a chest in the alcove to the west, with Bronze Mail inside. Make sure to equip
it to whoever needs it the most.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5.11. IREM HEIGHTS (past)
MONSTERS:
Beam Flower-Earth
Hell Condor-Wind
Lizard-Fire
Live Oak-Earth
Orc-Fire
Serpent-Earth
Spiegel-Neutral
Viper Lady-Earth
MONSTER STRATEGIES:
Beam Flowers and Lizards are weak to water, and Live Oaks to fire. The Lizards
are capable of stunning you, and Spiegels will confuse you as well. Hell
Condors may inflict you with blind, making you miss, and this status
actually lingers after battle, so be wary.
Some enemies will get the jump on you, and you'll definitely want to stay at
full health while you're here, since the power gets quite brutal. Enemies may
hit you with combo attacks, and you'll be able to see on the turn order whether
it will happen or not; if you can, stop it at all costs. Don't underestimate it.
TREASURE:
Password-Hunt: Irem Pass
Item-Soothing Crystal
AREA NOTES:
It still looks the same, but there is more to find. Head forward and right a
bit to find another password chest; it's for a new Event. It's directly ahead
of the north exit, the only one you can't take yet. There's also a chest in the
southeast alcove with an item that casts "Soothing Drop".
If you're not up to fighting you can skip ahead to Irem, same place as it's
been in the present. Buying some stuff there and having an Inn handy will
probably help you sleep at night. You'll probably want to train with some
weapons. Try to find a balance, as monsters are getting quite fast and you'll
have to be able to stop them from doing their own combo attacks on you.

ITEM SHOP:
Item-Salve
Item-Eyedrops
Item-Gold Needle
Item-Antidote
Item-Molotov
SHOPPING TIPS:
Some nice and major upgrades here. Beasts can use the Kick, Cyborgs can use the
Defender, Espers can use the Bow, and Humans can use it all, especially the
Katana. The armor is nice too, but make sure you're well prepared with your
moolah. Make sure to get an Earth Tome for at least one of your Espers, to
finally cover the four main elements.
If you're wondering, Shields go on your weapon slot and you use them in battle
to reduce damage partially. They'll increase the Defense of Cyborgs and Mechas
very nicely.
STORY PROGRESSION:
Head to Cronus' house and you'll find that intead of him, Grandma is there (the
one in the Present Magic Shop). Talk to her and Dune will mention the Stethelos
Parts, which Grandma will have a clue about. However, before the scene can
progress, a man will enter the room and say Dogra has taken a girl named
Freyja. Grandma decides she should head over to the cave in her rescue, but
Dune will try to dissuade her, and offer to go instead. Grandma will tell you
the location of the Mountain Cave on the map, south of Irem. That is your next
goal, but why not explore the era a bit more?
EVENTS:
THE DAILY CONSTITUTIONAL is your first big sidequest that can be done here.
Check the "Event Notes" section later in the document for a more detailed
walkthrough of the sidequests.
HUNT: IREM HEIGHTS
A boy just outside the big house has a quest. The large Land Turtle he wants
you to kill is in the bottom left corner of the Irem Heights. It's incredibly
resiliant, but give it your best shot with fixed-damage weapons. The boy will
give you a Brionac, a slightly stronger spear, when you win.
HUNT: IREM PASS
There are two people just to the right of the entrance with Events.
The younger one gives you this if you got the chest back in the Heights.
You'll be able to go to the pass after progressing the story, and find the
big Nike near the south exit. You get three Corsages upon return.
HUNT: PILGRIM'S PATH
Your first Hard Mode exclusive hunt will lead you to to the little girl in
the Inn. Talk to her and head to the Pilgrim's Path. You'll find a nice rock
monster ahead of the west exit, a fully upgraded and ready to fight Chaos.
Like the normal one, he has a weakness to Wind and great power with Earth, so
try not to go in with a weakness to earth. Also make sure you've got status
protection so that he wastes his time trying to petrify.
If you manage to defeat the guy, return to the girl and she'll casually hand
you the best spear in the game, the Gungnir. It is wind elemental, so its
power can be further augmented with "Wind Boost". It also attacks in a group
from the getgo, so it's a pretty damn amazing weapon.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5.13. TOWN OF LEI
You can get here by taking the south exit from Irem Field.
WEAPON SHOP:
Sword-Mythril Sword
Greatsword-Defender
Spear-Spear
Cannon-Submachine Gun
ARMOR SHOP:

Item-Water Crystal (water-casting, Blizzard)
Item-Earth Crystal (earth-casting, Quake)
Item-Wind Crystal (wind-casting, Thunder)
Item-Dark Crystal (darkness-casting, Cloud)
SHOPPING TIPS:
Update your helmets and swords here. Not much else to do.
STORY PROGRESSION:
First off, there's a chest with a High Potion on the leftmost side of the area.
There are some Sahuagins around here that have been transformed by a virus.
Talk to the one running the item shop and he'll give you the Flush-O-Matic
for the Stethelos; it will transform anybody back one stage of the
transformation cycle. It apparently doesn't work unless installed, so that's
why they're giving it away. When installed, it goes in the empty room in the
Stethelos from before. If you don't get the Flush-O-Matic, talk to some
other Sahuagins in town and try again.
EVENTS:
HUNT: COASTAL CROSSROADS
This hunt is also password exclusive [3258kg]. You can input it to get this
request from a woman just outside the Inn. The giant Nymph is just straight
ahead from the eastern exit, and once it's dealt with return to Lei for
a prize of a Coral Sword, a Wind-elemental sword that's quite expensive at
this point.
HUNT: FERTILE HOLLOW
A Hard Mode exclusive quest, a man outside of the mall will give this quest to
you. Go to the Fertile Hollow and you'll find an interesting enemy; Belial!
He's a bit harder than his original form back in Normal Mode, and like before
he has no elemental weakness to exploit. You'll just have to try your best.
Don't take him lightly, as this is one of the reasons you ought to take a
New Game+ file! He is REALLY, REALLY HARD. Do not have any weakness to Fire!
Keep Ribbons and Magic Jewels handy! TRY EVERYTHING!
If by some crazy chance you managed to win, return to the man at Lei and he'll
give you the strongest Axe in the game, Pandemonium. It happens to be Earth
elemental, so try and get Earth Boost for its user.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5.14. IREM PASS
This is the inbetween for Irem and the Mountain Cave.
MONSTERS:
Ares-Dark
Kaiser Ant-Fire
Land Turtle-Water
Live Oak-Earth
Orc-Fire
Spiegel-Neutral
Viper Lady-Earth
MONSTER STRATEGIES:
Land Turtles are quite hardy, but they move last, so take advantage of that,
and their weakness to fire. Kaiser Ants might look threatening, but they
aren't, really. Other than that there are pretty much similar monsters as
other areas around this era.
TREASURE:
Password-Gift: Item 20
AREA NOTES:
This place only has two exits, but the side paths loop around and interlock.
In the top left corner, by the wall there is a chest with another password,
Gift: Item 20. There's no other significant things here. Make sure to
heal up before heading south to the Mountain Cave.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5.15. MOUNTAIN CAVE
MONSTERS:
Controller-Neutral
Duke-Dark
Gargoyle-Dark
Giant Worm-Earth
Hawk Girl-Wind
Land Turtle-Water
Leonardo-Dark
Live Oak-Earth
Lizard-Fire
Nike-Dark
Nymph-Wind
Red Dragon-Fire
Sea Monster-Water
Skeleton-Dark
Will-o-Wisp-Dark
MONSTER STRATEGIES:
The two human-like enemies and Nymphs are strong to earth, but Nymphs are also
weak to fire, and Skeletons are weak to wind attacks. The Controller is weak to
water, too. Gargoyles can drain your HP, but they're not so strong. Hawk Girls
will put you to sleep, but can be dealt with by wind spells. Nike are actually
quite strong for their stature, so don't underestimate them.
If you have a Monster in your party and you want to get them to be REALLY
strong, fight a battle with two worms, and weaken one slightly. It should use
"Absorption" and they'll become a bigger worm that will drop Super Meat, which
increases both the level of the monster and the level of your own monster when
you eat it. You can get some incredibly powerful monsters for this point by
eating Super Meat, so keep Absorption in mind.
Remember to keep working on your Recovery Magic to try and spark new techs
for it. They're somewhat hard to get compared to some other magic.
TREASURE:
Blade-Saber
Accessory-Corsage
Item-Protect Crystal
AREA NOTES:
Some might consider this the first real dungeon, since it's all cave-like and
such. Of course, start by heading through the dead end! You'll find a switch,
which will cause a chest to suddenly appear. It has a Saber inside, a new kind
of Blade. They'll give a sizeable Agility boost to your Cyborg, or just be a
plain better weapon for your Esper. Head around the loop, and at the end past
the stairs, take a right and you'll find a Corsage. The stairs will bring you
to the next floor.
Unfortunately, there's nothing at the other dead end but some monsters, so just
head for the stairs on this floor, going to the next. Once you're there, go
down the corridor all the way to the end to enter another part of the second
floor, with two switches to press. The left one will send you into a long
Chain Battle, but the right will reveal a chest with a strange item that will
cast Protect, a Defensive buff, on one character.
Back on the third floor, skip the other dead end and head for the western
staircase leading to yet another part of the second floor, except on this one
you'll find a path forward, blocked by a very childish-looking person... heal
up before approaching her, and get ready. She seems to be the Freyja we've been
looking for, except she talks strangely and robotically. Sireugh tries to warn
Dune that she might be possessed, and she'll engage in combat!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOSS BATTLE: Freyja
Freyja-Earth 600 HP
STR 7 AGI 16
MAG 17 DEF 5
Abilities: Traits:
Rapier Silence Immune
Bow Sleep Immune
Fire Tome Paralysis Immune
Wind Tome Immune Body
Recovery Tome
Freyja is an Esper, so you'll want to beat her down with physical attacks. Keep
your own espers ready to heal when they can; if not, just go at her with all
you've got. Her magic is absurdly powerful, especially if you've happened to
inherit a weakness from a monster. She'll also heal herself periodically, but
you should be able to keep up. She's actually pretty frail, so don't worry
about the battle dragging on. You won't get anything as a reward for winning.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Once you've knocked her out, she'll return to normal, and the group will decide
to take her along as your new fifth party member. She comes with Fire,
Wind and Recovery magic, along with a Bow and a Blade, all the specialities of
an Esper. You'll be using her for healing, mostly, as she has the second level
healing spell sparked already, and she has pretty high agility. Keep her in
mind for when you enter the next room.
Once you pass through, you'll find a sinister looking worm monster at the other
end. This is Dogra, who you're after. Apparently, it doesn't like you very much.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOSS BATTLE: Dogra, two Gazers
Dogra-Neutral 1000 HP
STR 23 AGI 10
MAG 18 DEF 10
Abilities: Traits:
Destruction Laser All Status Immune
Entangle
Odor
This is a particularly tough boss, as it's your first against more than one
target. You're going to want to take out the Gazers as quickly as possible,
since they pack a punch and support Dogra very well. They're not weak to either
of Freyja's elements, but if you attack them persistently they'll fall soon
enough. If they drop meat, make sure to take it for your mosnter, since they're
high-level enemies at this point.
As for Dogra himself, he's resilient to most magic, despite not carrying any
resistances. Your Espers will want to be healing, like before. Dogra's attacks
hurt more than their fair share, and some can Hold your characters. Thankfully,
Freyja's second Recovery spell has a buttload of priority and she can pull it
off before any attack. Like most battles, it's just about surviving long enough
to pull out the win.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After the battle, Freyja will truly wake up and actually begin saying words.
She's a little girl, so she's understandably frightened by the surroudings,
but she'll trust the party to bring her back. Behind Dogra will be a chest
with a Stethelos part, "Drive Engine". It's just a matter of walking back.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Head back to Irem and talk to Grandma. She'll thank you for saving Freyja, and
Dune will talk to her some more. He says they'll need to bring Freyja to Dharm.
Freyja is a bit frightened, but she is encouraged to go. Grandma will also give
you Summon Magic. A LESSON IN SELF-RELIANCE will open up at this point.
Talk to the pink haired person to the left of the big house and she'll put Mu
on your map, your first Summon Magic locale. You get there from the north exit
of Irem Heights.

SHOPPING TIPS:
Nothing new here.
STORY PROGRESSION:
Enter the house all the way to the left and you'll find two chests, with a key
item, the "Seed of Ephraim", and a Gold Needle that heals petrify. Other houses
here are still under construction, so we should head back here when we get to
the Present. To make use of the Seed, head to the south exit of the Pilgrim's
Path by the Shrine.
EVENTS:
THE LAST ONE'S SPELL is available here if you have the password already input.
HUNT: SS DANDY AURORIA
Once you unlock the SS Dandy Auroria via "Meant to Be" later on, you can get
this Hunt from a woman near the Magic Shop. Head to the SS Dandy Auroria and go
to the farthest room, Cabin 2, to find the Giant Lizardman. It should be easy
at this point. You get a mere 4000 Kero for clearing this one.

Nothing interesting here, though there is the Violent Ray that's indigenous.
TREASURE:
None.
AREA NOTES:
The left exit leads to Lei, the south to the South Tower (which has all but
the first floor locked at the moment), and the east to where we want to go, the
Fertile Hollow.
CAN'T TAKE IT BACK is available here, if you want a little extra power.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5.18. FERTILE HOLLOW
Go to the middle, and the game will give you a prompt to plant the seed. Do
so. This won't seem to do anything yet, but it will later on. Go ahead and to
back to the Shrine now and warp to the Present with the Stethelos. Remember to
collect your password items from the White Monster!
You can also do THE FOUNDER at Pilgrim's Path if you meet the requirements.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You'll be treated to another scene with the Wanderer when you're on your way
back. He mostly talks about how he knows everything you're doing, and mostly
considers it "futile". He leaves quickly... but you'll get the Present Drive
for the Gears of Time. You can switch drives in battle by holding Y while
selecting actions and pressing the control pad. The Present drive will allow
you to damage a single enemy with the power of all the attacks you have used
before activating it. It will use one charge for how many characters have acted
before it. For best results, use it at the very end of the turn.
In another scene, the Wanderer will appear behind Cronus, and converse with
him a bit. He has some information Cronus has been seeking...
Once you leave the shrine, you have some free roam. Go back to Mu, it's in the
same place as before.

SHOPPING TIPS:
There are a lot of nice upgrades here, but they're all very expensive
(especially the Cannon, oh man). Try to get what you can. The Dark Tome
isn't that useful, though it provides another element. It's more like a Poison-
type element, though, and it has "Cloud" spells. I wouldn't worry too much
about it, but if you have some room, go ahead. Remember to sell what you don't
need, too.
STORY PROGRESSION:
No real progression, but you can go into the middle house now that it's done
being built. Inside is a "Water Stone", an important item you'll want to save.
EVENTS:
HUNT: SS NEPTUNE
This hunt is only available on New Game+, and only if you've unlocked the
SS Neptune in the present via a certain option in "An Ounce of Prevention".
The lady just outside the Inn will ask you to slay a poor frog. You can find
the giant Shiroku Toad at the top left corner of the main room and get a small
reward of 6000 Kero from turning it in.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When you return to Dharm, go to the middle house and talk to the Elder. You'll
drop off Freyja and her short stay in your party will be over. The Elder will
then tell you that Cronus may have found out new info as to where the Future
Warp is, so head back to Irem. The big event LOST IN SHIPPING may also be
available to you.
When you go back and talk to Cronus, you'll only exchange a few words before
the ground begins to shake. A man will come and tell you something happening at
the Lei coast. You'll then watch a castle-type area come out of the water.
The group and Cronus will go to the Irem Heights to gaze at the tower, the
destination now if you were to leave that area to the south. Apparently, a
Otherworld Deity known as Chaos resides there. But that's not of concern now;
Cronus will allude to the Future Warp being in South Tower. She'll give you
the key to its lock. Chaos Castle and South Tower will then be marked on your
map. Head for South Tower first. (If you did the sidequest "A Lesson in Self-
Reliance" in a specific way, talking to Cronus will get you the Jukebox.)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5.20. COASTAL CROSSROADS (present)
MONSTERS:
Fairy-Wind
Gazer-Earth
Hekatonkheires-Dark
Poison Frog-Water
Sea Monk-Water
Stallion-Fire
MONSTER STRATEGIES:
Just like before, the frogs will be stunning and poisoning you. Gazers are
back, and still as annoying. Fairies will hit you with strong spells, but go
down easy with a good physical strike. The big giant Mechas go down from a
well placed magic attack, as long as it's strong enough. I wouldn't risk it,
they're quite strong. Sea Monks are weak to earth.
It may have been just me, but statups seemed prominent in this area and the
following ones. The enemies seem much weaker the more you fight; level two
spells oneshotting those weak to it, and weapons like the Psycho Sword and Ogre
Killer dealing massive damage even at first level. Note the Psycho Sword's
second level tech multitargets in a group, so that's something to keep in mind
for the future.
TREASURE:
Gloves-Gold Gauntlets
Password-Gift: Item 21
AREA NOTES:
You could have come here before warping to the past, but the monsters would
have been much too strong. Now you're ready to take them on, maybe. But as for
treasure, slightly to the left and forward is some Gold Gauntlets. Just ahead
of the south exit is another chest with a Password, again. This time, Gift:
Item 21. If you exit to the right you'll find the Fertile Hollow, but
nothing will have grown yet. When you get the chance, head back to the Fertile
Hollow in the past to fix it.
The quest THE EXCAVATION EXPERT is available if you've already input the
password needed for it. Going for it now would be pointless though.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5.21. SOUTH TOWER
MONSTERS:
Gazer-Earth
Gigamouse-Earth
Hell Wisp-Dark
Killer Butterfly-Wind
Lizardman-Wind
Merman-Water
Rhamphorhynchus-Wind
Sargatannas-Dark
Sequoia-Earth
Stone-Neutral
War Pig-Fire
MONSTER STRATEGIES:
Hell Wisps resist Fire, and are weak to water. But Lizardmen, oddly enough, are
weak to fire and strong against water. In the same vein, the Sequoias also fall
to fire, being big trees, as do Butterflies. Stones are weak to water, as their
early iterations were, and Mermen to wind. And finally, Sargatannas don't like
earth. If you've been preparing yourselves, the monsters here should really
pose no threat. With high enough power, your level 2 spells should one-shot
most everything that doesn't resist it. When you get strong enough, it's a
good time to work on your lacking stats, like agility for your humans or
Recovery Magic skill.
TREASURE:
Accessory-Pendant
Item-Wind Stone
AREA NOTES:
It looks like North Tower, but it most certainly is not. First off, there are
many enemies on this first floor, so get to know them. You can use the key
straight up ahead.
On the second floor, there are two parts divided by a floor-wide pit. Ignore it
and head up to the next floor. The first chest is directly to your left when
you surface, and it contains a Pendant. Once you're done with that, fight your
way to the pit also splitting this floor apart, and fall down. You should land
on the side you weren't on back on the second floor. Once there, head to the
left, past the next flight of stairs, to find another chest with a "Wind
Stone". Save that, too.
The fourth floor is the peak, and it's quite evil-looking. Make sure you're in
fighting shape before approaching the big, hulking figure in the center. This
guy has our Future Warp! But when the monster, Ashura, is confronted, he will
tell you the Warp has already been moved to Chaos Castle. But you'll have to
fight him anyway. Duh. He wants to KILL YOU!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOSS BATTLE: Ashura, Two Lizardmen
Ashura-Fire 2000 HP
STR 35 AGI 30
MAG 25 DEF 27
Abilities: Traits:
Punch All Status Immune
Gaze Water Vulnerable
Vajra Fire Resistant
Fire Fire Boost
The Lizardmen will go down quickly enough to a nice baking fire. Ashura will be
your main threat. He has powerful fire magic, so protect anybody in your party
that happens to be weak to it. But in reality, most of his attacks will pretty
much wreck up anybody they hit. Just be very careful when going all out. Keep
up with his moves and he'll be down soon enough. He's weak to Water.
You'll get 10300 Kero and the key to Chaos Castle for beating his snot. You
also obtain the Radar Array; installing it will allow you to see chests on
the minimap.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The door on the other side of this room is locked, and will be for some time.
Its opening is related to the event ASHURA'S LEGACY, which I wouldn't
recommend doing for a while.
Anyway, get to Chaos Castle after you've rested up. The hole near the center
is a shortcut to the third floor and all its pits, which you can fall down in
succession to get back to the entrance.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5.22. CHAOS CASTLE
MONSTERS:
Broken-Neutral
Durandal-Neutral
Fairy-Wind
Hekatonkheires-Dark
Killer Butterfly-Wind
Megaira-Dark
Rhamphorhynchus-Wind
Red Bone-Dark
Sargatannas-Dark
Stronger-Fire
MONSTER STRATEGIES:
Hope you liked South Tower monsters. Red Bones aren't too significant, they
don't hit too hard or anything. When you get further in you'll find new
monsters. Strongers are slow, and weak to Water. But they mostly shouldn't be
too hard to deal with.
TREASURE:
Gloves-Mythril Bangle
Item-Elixir
Item-Earth Stone
Item-Silver Needle
Axe-Tomahawk
Item-Teleporter
Body-Psycho Armor
Shield-Fire Shield
Accessory-Circlet
Item-Gold Needle
AREA NOTES:
This place looks huge and confusing, and that's because it sort of is. You'll
see several conveyer belts around here blocking your progress to some areas. To
go forward you'll have to go to the left, to the belt second from the left.
There's a switch at the upper left corner, but it doesn't seem to do anything.
Just follow the wall to the stairs. There's a switch in the corner, but you
can't press it... you have to jump from above to do so. We'll do that.
Here's where it starts getting confusing; you'll be treated to platforms that
move when you step on them, one way. Take the path directly forward and you'll
get to the next stairs quite easily, but that's not too fun. From the stairs
you can take the path to the bottom center and find a chest with a Mythril
Bangle, which is quite strong. Then take the north platform to another area,
then proceed to fall down off the platform. You'll land right by a chest with
an Elixir! Save it for emergencies, as it can revive your party members.
Head back up and go south from the first platform this time. From there, go
east and then north to another chest, containing an "Earth Stone". You know
what not to do with it. You'll be forced to drop down again, so do so, return
to this floor, and head for the stairs. Take the same path as before, but when
you get to where you dropped down for the Elixir, head to the left to find the
last chest on this floor. It has a Silver Needle in it for healing Paralysis.
Activating that switch from before is done by falling off at the top right
area. To do that, you need to fall and climb back up, taking the direct
platform to the west. When you get to the corner, there should be a little gap
in the railing. Go over it and you'll hit the switch. Now take the same path
and head south from the corner to get to the stairs to the third floor.
Here is a simple room. Opposite the door you entered is another, opened by
the switch you fell on. There is a single chest guarded by a giant Megaira
and her Stronger friend. The chest contains a Tomahawk. Now, leave and head
for the bigger door in the center of the past room. This big door will be
opened by the key you got before. Up the stairs and into the "meat" of this
dungeon. Here, at the bottom corner you'll find a chest with a "Teleporter",
which will warp you out of the dungeon. Pretty handy since this is a long area.
The next floor is straightforward, just head to the other side and you'll find
a chest with Psycho Armor, which will significantly raise the Agility stat of
who wears it. It's up to you who deserves it the most, but in my opinion the
Esper probably does, since they're probably the lowest on HP and most useful
for multitargeting. Note that it doesn't do a whole lot for Cyborgs. It can
also prove useful to significantly boost the damage of a Beastman.
The next corridor is also very straightforward, so just follow it. At the end
of the stairs right before the path to the boss is a chest with a Fire Shield,
which do help out Cyborgs quite a bit with a five point defense boost. Whether
it's useful for that or you'd rather keep the weapons to boost strength is your
call. Climb up the next stairs and keep on going up, up, up. In the second part
of this room you'll find two chests; one with a "Circlet" that protects you
from being turned to stone, which is CRITICAL quite soon. The other has a Gold
Needle, which heals the same ailment.
In the next room, you'll find the mastermind of the castle, Chaos. Let's get
that Future Warp from him, finally.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOSS BATTLE: Chaos, two Rocks
Chaos-Earth 3000 HP
STR 37 AGI 28
MAG 30 DEF 30
Abilities: Traits:
Tackle All Status Immune
Earth Wind Vulnerable
Stone Block Earth Resistant
Stone Beam Earth Boost
Punch
Be careful with those Rocks, they can combo attack you. Try to kill them
quickly with water attacks. Both them and the big Chaos can really dish out
damage, so don't let up and use your strongest moves. If you're in danger,
make sure your Recovery Magic is up to par. Chaos can turn you to stone,
which is why the Circlet is important right away. He shouldn't be all that
hard, though, not like the last game. He's strong to Earth, so don't try that,
but he is, oddly enough, weak to Wind! Using that, he'll fall very easily.
You'll get a nice sum of 11340 Kero for beating him. If the Rocks drop meat,
definitely eat it for your Monster. In the story scene that follows, you'll get
the "Hover Engine" and the "Future Warp"! Feel free to use a Teleporter to
leave.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Go back to Irem and report your success to Cronus. Grandma, who is also there,
will remember your good deed from fifteen years ago. Cronus, after some
chatting, will give you the "Timestop Device" for the Stethelos. Go back to the
Shrine and the two from Irem will meet you there. They'll see you off.
The Timestop Device uses the Gears of Time (by pressing Y) to freeze time
outside of battle. While this is going on the charges steadily decrease. It's
useful for getting jumps on the enemy or just avoiding battles. You'll also
apply the Radar Array (if you haven't already). Then the Hover Engine, and
finally the Future Warp. The gang will then automatically warp to the future.
Cronus and Grandma will talk a bit, not realizing why the present hasn't
changed immediately... She also mentions someone named Pulsar... but it looks
like this time Wanderer doesn't feel like talking.
If you haven't gone back to the Past to fix the Fertile Hollow, you can do so.
See SAVING SEED in the Event Notes if you care to. Go to the Future
and head out. It seems... the water... got a lot higher...
You can go to several areas to start. North Tower is to the north, and it has
new treasure. To the south is the Fertile Hollow. And to the West is the Irem
Depths.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5.23. IREM DEPTHS
MONSTERS:
Armed Cosmos-Earth
Fossil Dragon-Dark
Nightmare-Fire
Sea Bishop-Water
Shiroku Toad-Water
Simurgh-Neutral
Torent-Earth
MONSTER STRATEGIES
Fossil Dinos pack an incredible punch. They are definitely on priority to kill
(weak to fire), and also to become if you have a monster. Sea Bishops are weak
to Earth like their bretheren. If you've been keeping up, there really isn't
much to worry about here.
TREASURE:
None.
AREA NOTES:
Though you're underwater, there's no fear; stay as long as you like. There's no
treasure hidden amongst the waves here, unfortunately. The left exit leads to
Irem and Mu, while the north will take you to a Sunken Ship.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5.24. SS NEPTUNE
MONSTERS:
Adamantoise-Water
Armed Cosmos-Earth
Bloodsucker-Dark
Fossil Dragon-Dark
Land Worm-Earth
Sea Bishop-Water
Simurgh-Wind
Treant-Earth
Wolfman-Fire
MONSTER STRATGIES:
Note that monsters are getting a bit fast outside of battle, so outrunning them
will be difficult, especially in places like this. If it gets annoying, don't
be ashamed to run in-battle. Sea Bishops are actually strong against water and
weak to fire, so be careful.
When you get a lot of inherited abilities and are about to inherit another, you
are allowed to choose which to get rid of. Take this chance to get rid of any
vulnerabilities you might have!
TREASURE:
Item-Magic Source
AREA NOTES:
A bit of a more interesting area... The bottom three rooms are the more
significant ones. However, only the one farthest from you has a chest, with an
Magic Source that raises Magic by several points to whoever takes it! Once you
get it, head to Irem... again.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SHOPPING NOTES:
Upgrade your Katanas, but NOT your helmets. There will be better things to buy
elsewhere in the future, so hang tight.
STORY PROGRESSION:
Head to the big house to find old Cronus, who immediately hands you a new
Excavator for the Stethelos, which, when applied, lets you find completely new
treasure! When you enter an area, you'll be alerted to Excavation Spots where
you can excavate items and passwords. She'll also note that Grandma wanted to
give you something. head to the Inn to find her, where sad music will play. Her
last gift to you will be the Metamor magic, which will allow you to enter Mu,
as it has now been overrun by the same virus that took over Lei before;
everybody there is a Sahuagin. Metamor will allow you to temporarily appear
to be a Sahuagin. Then Grandma... falls asleep?
EVENTS:
HUNT: NORTH TOWER (future)
The old man by the weapon shop will give you this sidequest. Go to North Tower
and find the chest with the Icebrand; the hunt target, a Giant Bloodsucker is
right in front of it. Defeat it and go back to Irem for your prize, 10000 Kero!
HUNT: IREM DEPTHS
You can only get this hunt from inputting a password [a70098]. Do so and you'll
be asked to take out a monster by an old lady in front of Cronus' house. It's
located at the southern edge of the area. Destroy the giant Blood Ray and
back at Irem, you'll get a Dimensional Sword. It's pretty advanced at this
point, so use it sparingly.
DIG: IREM DEPTHS
After getting the password from the Deep-Sea Trench, the old lady by the Inn
will give this quest to you. The spot is just south of the north exit. You
get three Earth Stones for your trouble.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5.26. TOWN OF MU (future)
You'll be given the option to use Metamor when you enter if you have it; if
you don't, talking with any Sahuagin will start a battle. There's almost
nothing to be gained of this, so just use it.
WEAPON SHOP:
Sword-Psycho Sword
Axe-Battle Axe
Jutsu-Triple Lunge
MAGIC SHOP:
Magic-Fire Tome
Magic-Water Tome
Magic-Earth Tome
Magic-Wind Tome
Magic-Dark Tome
ARMOR SHOP:
Shield-Mythril Shield
Helmet-Mythril Helmet
Body-Magician's Garb
Gloves-Gold Gauntlets
Shoes-Plated Boots
ITEM SHOP:
Item-Potion
Item-Eyedrops
Item-Gold Needle
Item-Antidote
Item-Teleporter
SHOPPING TIPS:
All of the armor here is top of the line at this point, so get some. Also
upgrade your Jutsus here. If you don't care to explore the future at length,
you can skip out on buying armor, as better ones will be available shortly.
STORY PROGRESSION:
Nothing much to do but shop. The third house has been constructed, though, so
go in and get another Wind Stone. Now it's fine to head for the Fertile Hollow
or North Tower.
EVENTS:
AN OUNCE OF PREVENTION can be done here after accumulating a large amount of
Future Points.
HUNT: FORGOTTEN WRECK
Once you clear "An Ounce of Prevention", you'll get this quest from the bar
owner in Mu. You'll need to have unlocked the Forgotten Wreck from Pulsar's
sidequest to do this hunt. Fight the giant Roto Rex in the center southern
corridor of the Hull and return to Mu for your prize of 10000 Kero. You'll also
get the password for "The Missing Ring".
HUNT: BATTLESHIP ANNIE ROSA
A pointy-eared girl in the bar will give this Hard Mode exclusive hunt to you.
However, you can't complete it as soon as you can get it. Doing "An Ounce of
Prevention" is needed for this one, as well as one that gives you access to the
Battleship Annie Rosa. In the bow, the center south room, you'll find Maitreya,
who by this point should be pretty easy to kill. Fire will help a bit, too.
Defeat the fiend and return to Mu for your prize, the Suidan Bow;
Water-elemental.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5.27. NORTH TOWER (future)
MONSTERS:
Caladbolg-Neutral
Fossil Dragon-Dark
Land Worm-Earth
Lizard Knight-Wind
Nightmare-Fire
Triceratops-Earth
MONSTER STRATEGIES:
Barely anything notable here. But if you want to get a jump on your monster
growth, try to get two Caladbolgs to become giant by absorption.
TREASURE:
Sword-Icebrand
AREA NOTES:
It's identical to the Present North Tower in appearance (why wouldn't it be?)
so just go through like you did before. The only new chest here has an Ice
Brand inside, which is an "icy" sword your human could use. Don't rely on it,
though; keep other non-elemental swords around. However, its fourth tech
targets all enemies no matter what, so keep that in mind for "emergencies"!
If you have a certain password you can do SMASH AND GRAB here in North Tower.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5.28. FERTILE HOLLOW (future)
The tree has grown further, and will tell you about how Dharm has changed its
location. You look in the second row in the back of the Graveyard, and examine
the second grave on the right. That area will be marked on your map silently.
If you didn't help the tree grow, simply examine the soil and you'll get New
Dharm on your map. Just like the first version, it's optional to help out the
tree! That's a nice touch.
While you're hopping back and forth, two important sidequests may be available
at Dharm in the present if you have enough Future Points. These are THE LITTLE
SWORDSMAN and A GLIMPSE OF THE FUTURE. If you're on New Game+, you can also do
A LESSON IN TRUST with Melrose. Note that "A Glimpse of the Future" must be
done before progressing with the story at the later area, S.H.L.T.R!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5.29. NEW TOWN OF DHARM
Though the tree's directions seem strange, the entrance will clearly be on
your minimap, so just go into the town.
MAGIC SHOP:
Magic-Earth Tome
Magic-Wind Tome
Magic-Dark Tome
Magic-Recovery Tome
Magic-Revival Tome
ITEM SHOP:
Item-Potion
Item-Cross
Item-Gold Needle
Item-Cough Drop
Item-Cottage
Item-Teleporter
SHOPPING TIPS:
GET THE REVIVAL TOME. It's very expensive, but will be CRUCIAL later on to
work with. Indeed, there aren't any other shops in this town...
STORY PROGRESSION:
In the big building to the north you'll find Melrose. Chat with him a bit.
He'll be reminiscent of the group's time together. He'll also note that the
Elder died a while back. He'll give you yet another system for the Stethelos,
too, the Threat Detector. This one marks enemies on your minimap! Finally,
he'll mark Viper on your map and tell you the password for the resistance base;
It's "ERAUQS", "Square" backwards. I love that.
There is another water area between New Dharm and Viper, so explore it at your
leisure.
EVENTS:
THE MISSING RING and WINNERS AND LOSERS are two password events that can be
done in this place. Also, with enough Future Points, you may unlock A BURDEN
TO PROTECT with Freyja.
HUNT: DEEP-SEA TRENCH
The owner of the Cafe in New Dharm will want you to go to the Deep-Sea Trench.
Go there and you'll find a clearly marked Giant Armed Cosmos to fight. When
you kill it, return to the guy and he'll give you two Diamond Mails! What an
amazing prize.
HUNT: FERTILE HOLLOW
Another Hard Mode Exclusive lies in this cafe, given by the woman in the cafe.
Once you arrive at the Fertile Hollow you'll be greeted by a harder Jormungandr.
He's definitely tougher than the harder Belial at the OTHER Fertile Hollow.
If you have a plethora of Recovery Crystals from fighting at Mt. Gote, you
may want to use them now (that is, if Cura isn't already an option). I wouldn't
blame you if you decided to leave it be for a while, though.
If you do manage to defeat the giant ass worm, you can get the strongest
Greatsword in the game from the girl, the Laevateinn. It's Fire-elemental!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5.30. DEEP-SEA TRENCH
MONSTERS:
Armed Cosmos-Earth
Bloodsucker-Dark
Blood Ray-Water
Land Worm-Earth
Sea Bishop-Water
Simurgh-Wind
MONSTER STRATEGIES:
Your first revival spell, Raise, actually does more than that; it also heals
exactly 25%. If you're not hurt too badly, use it over your Recovery magic
to level its proficiency up.
TREASURE:
Item-Magic Source
Body-Diamond Mail
AREA NOTES:
Now treasure should be a crapton easier to find... Anyway, the first chest is
to your left when you enter, and up when you can't go left anymore. It has
another Magic Source. The other chest here is at the south end of the curve by
the north exit, and it contains a Diamond Mail. It's a tad stronger than
buyable armor at this moment.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5.31. VIPER CITY
The area might be a bit confusing, but just head into the first area, and
you'll be treated to a monorail. You can make it stop by pressing A when it
indicates. The first area you can stop at is where you shop, and the other is
where the story will progress. Note that the big blue gates will always take
you to the World Map no matter what sector of Viper you're in.
WEAPON SHOP:
Sword-Psycho Sword
Spear-Brionac
Axe-Battle Axe
Cannon-Flamethrower
MAGIC SHOP:
Magic-Recovery Tome
Magic-Revival Tome
Magic-Endowment Tome
ARMOR SHOP:
Shield-Mythril Shield
Helmet-Mythril Helmet
Body-Gold Mail
Gloves-Gold Gauntlets
Shoes-Plated Boots
ITEM SHOP:
Item-Flame Crystal (fire-casting, Firaga)
Item-Chill Crystal (water-casting, Blizzaga)
Item-Soil Crystal (earth-casting, Quakega)
Item-Cloud Crystal (wind-casting, Thundaga)
Item-Black Crystal (darkness-casing, Cloudga)
Item-Teleporter
SHOPPING TIPS:
Basically, upgrade your Spears if you care.
STORY PROGRESSION:
Head to the third area and there will be a guy in front of the gate, who will
ask for the password. The first option is correct, the other is "Sphinx".
Inside, you'll find some people. The scientist to the right will heal you for
free. To progress further, talk to the man in the center in the blue armor.
He's Dior from old Dharm! He will inform you that the god, Sol, has somehow
been kidnapped. He'll also say that Cronus and Pulsar, another scientist,
have created a second Stethelos to travel to the Otherworld, another dimension
where Sol exists and where the Diluvius comes from. An advance party was put
on the Stethelos MK II to rescue Sol and Nemesis. A certain monster took the
Dimension Warp to allow your Stethelos to go to the Otherworld. That would be
Maitreya, who rules the Floatland. Pulsar has a plan, though, so the the group
needs to go to the S.H.L.T.R.
Dior will give you the "Capsule Hotel" part for the Stethelos, which will be
installed in the same room as the Flush-O-Matic and provides yet another
free Inn. He will also join your party! The S.H.L.T.R will be marked on your
map.
Dior comes with some pretty awesome stuff; a Coral Sword, a Yoshiyuki, and a
Dragon Sword. All his Swords multitarget in a group past the first tech
besides the Dragon Sword, and he also has Recovery and Water Magic. He's got
pretty balanced stats, and will be pretty overpowered and helpful for a
while.
EVENTS:
HUNT: SS NEPTUNE
Once again a password exclusive hunt roams here in Viper City [0z9075]. Plug it
in and a pointy-eared lady in the Rebel Base will ask you to go on a hunt.
At the SS Neptune, the monster you're looking for is in the center room. It's
a giant Lorn Master and defeating it gets you 10,000 Kero.
DIG: DEEP-SEA TRENCH
Well, in the Rebel Base there's a guy who will give you this quest that perhaps
comes from a password. The spot in the Deep-Sea Trench contains three Light
Stones and is located in the little inlet by the north exit. This Dig, however,
is only available on New Game+.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5.32. S.H.L.T.R
There is a chest on the left side of this area which contains a Water Stone.
Pulsar is the guy in the lab coat at the center front. When he sees you're
friends with Cronus, he'll lay out the plan. He'll give you the Jet Packs
for flying to the Floatland. He'll also give you the Communicator for
contacting him when there. You'll need to find the Stethelos's Remote Control
at the Floatland along with the Dimensional Warp, which is all he needs to know
via radio. You'll then be given the option to go to the Floatland now, if you
so choose. You won't be able to leave until you're done there, so make sure
you're ready. Make sure to use the mining system to its fullest, you will get
some amazingly late-game equipment! Just be wary of using it, it costs a LOT to
restore durability. Now that you've met Dr. Pulsar, you may be able to do the
event MEANT TO BE at the Coastal Crossroads back in the Present.
(Note that Dior will not go with you if you feel like time traveling.)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5.33. EXCAVATOR TREASURE LIST (optional)
Present:
TOWN OF DHARM
Item-Cottage
This spot is right near the slide to the left of the Elder's House.
PILGRIM'S PATH
Item-Nuclear Bomb
There's one spot in the top left corner. It's a usable item to damage enemies,
but it's quite powerful.
DHARM OLD ROAD
Magic-Healing Tome
Another mining spot is here in the top right corner. It has a Healing Tome,
but save it for now, it's expensive.
NORTH TOWER
Item-Wind Stone
Item-21k Gold Nugget
There's a spot directly in front of you as you enter. It has a Wind Stone.
Another spot is on the third floor in front of the fourth floor stairs,
containing a 21k Gold Nugget, one valuable little nugget.
IREM HEIGHTS
Shield-Mirror Shield
Axe-Guillotine
Two spots here, one back in the lower right corner, and another to the top left
by the center walls. They have a Mirror Shield and a Guillotine respectively,
two very strong pieces of equipment.
TOWN OF IREM
Item-Dynamite
Item-Teleporter
Two spots exist in the main town area. The one by the Inn has Dynamite (a
battle item), and the one by the Magic Shop (in the water) has a Teleporter.
SOUTH TOWER
Cannon-Missile
Drop down from the top floor to the third and there'll be a mining spot there.
It has some Missile artillery. Selling it could be a great boon.
CHAOS CASTLE
Item-Dark Stone
There's only one spot, it's to the right and up, at a dead end. It has a Dark
Stone.
Past:
IREM PASS
Item-Crimson Crystal
Item-Brave Crystal
There are two spots here, each in their own alcove to the left center of the
map. One has an offensive fire-casting item, the other a buff-casting item.
MOUNTAIN CAVE
Item-Earth Stone
On the second floor dead end there is a spot with an Earth Stone.
COASTAL CROSSROADS
Item-Healing Crystal
Sword-Grudge Sword
Two spots here, one in the top left corner and another in the center spiral.
They contain a Healing Crystal and a powerful longsword respectively.
Future:
IREM DEPTHS
Password-Gift: Item 23
Magic-Earth Tome
The two mining spots here are in the southeast corner and near the west exit.
The former has a password for Gift: Item 23. The latter has an Earth
Tome, which should be useless at this point.
SS NEPTUNE
Password-Gift: Item 28
There's a mining spot in the center back room that has a password. Gift: Item
28 is the one.
NEW TOWN OF DHARM
Password-Gift: Item 24
The spot in the town is located in the rebel base, in the room all the way
to the east (where Freyja might be). Inside is yet another password.
DEEP-SEA TRENCH
Password-Dig: Irem Depths
Only one spot here, in the center corridor to the left. It has a password for
an excavation Event. This Event is given by an old lady in Future Irem.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Once you're all done, just talk to Pulsar when you're ready to go to the
Floatland. You'll blast off without a hitch. Dior will direct the group to
look for a village, and you'll find the next location, Yaddith.

SHOPPING TIPS:
The stuff around here isn't bad, but you might be strapped for cash after all
of the future's shops. If so, only get what you really need, like if you
haven't upgraded something in a while. Armor is always nice, though.
STORY PROGRESSION:
The man at the entrance will mark on your map the location of the Empyrean
Ruins. That is your next destination.
EVENTS:
HUNT: THE SKYBORNE WASTES
A man inbewteen two shops in the main area of the town will give you a new
hunt. The Giant Sigurd he wants you to kill is right near the north exit
of The Skyborne Wastes. Return to him and you get two Diamond Gauntlets as a
prize, along with the password for "Winners and Losers".
HUNT: EMPYREAN RUINS
More password hunts! You'd better input it now so you don't have to worry
about it later on [mi6693]. Do that and your new request will be handed out by
a guy near the weapon shop. Your mark is within the large mazy room (level B2).
Once the giant Spear Squid is taken out, you can get a nifty 3 Circlets as
your prize, rounding out the supply for all four mains.
HUNT: CENTRAL RIDGE
Once you beat the other one and have access to the Central Ridge, another man
will have a new hunt for you. There's a Giant Hermit right by the excavation
spot with the Recovery Crystal. The man will give you a Dark Tome for
completing it.
DIG: THE SKYBORNE WASTES
The guy by the magic shop gives this away, and the spot is to the middle west
of the field area. It has three Dark Stones. It's also New Game+ exclusive.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5.35. THE SKYBORNE WASTES
MONSTERS:
Acid Gel-Wind
Caladbolg-Neutral
Hermit-Neutral
Lizard Knight-Wind
Pternodon-Wind
Sigurd-Dark
MONSTER STRATEGIES:
Watch out for Acid Gel; they hit hard and they drain HP. Try to put prority
on them. Caladbolgs can confuse you and merge together to become giant, which
will make them a lot harder to bring down. Giant monsters drop Super Meat,
though, which really accelerates monster growth. Sigurd, like all giant Mechas,
are generally weak to magic. Lizard Knights, as usual, fall to fire.
TREASURE:
None.
EXCAVATION TREASURE:
Item-Teleporter
Password-Hunt: Catacombs
The two spots here are in the center of the map, and to the left in the alcove.
The center spot has a Teleporter, and the other a Password.
AREA NOTES:
Straightforward and small, there's no chests to be found here. Be careful with
the monsters, though, if you're not going all out they will hurt. Badly.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5.36. EMPYREAN RUINS
MONSTERS:
Acid Gel-Wind
Caladbolg-Neutral
Harpy-Wind
Hermit-Neutral
Lizard Knight-Wind
Mustang-Fire
Pod-Neutral
Pteranodon-Wind
Rock-Neutral
Side Winder-Earth
Sigurd-Dark
Spear Squid-Water
Shockenaw-Neutral
MONSTER STRATEGIES:
Harpies are generally weak and not worth worrying about. They're able to put
you to sleep, but are weak to wind (Dior's Coral Sword!). Sidewinders are
weak to Earth, and pose little threat as well. Mustangs are also unremarkable.
The Spear Squids are also weak to wind. You'll remember Rocks from the battle
with Chaos; they're not nearly as resilient with your newfound power. What you
should be most worried about are the Acid Gels from before, honestly. Watch
the tanks, though, they damage immensely; like the Mechas, they have no magic
defense, but unlike them they are strong against fire. And weak to earth!
TREASURE:
Cannon-Bazooka
Cannon-Flamethrower
Item-Light Stone
Item-Water Stone
Item-Water Stone
Cannon-Submachine Gun
Item-Health Source
Magic-Frigid Tome
Key Item-Remote
Item-Earth Stone
EXCAVATION TREASURE:
Item-Teleporter
Magic-Dark Tome
Item-Agility Source
Item-Defense Source
There is one spot in the first room counterclockwise from the entrance. It has
a Teleporter. Opposite it is a Dark Tome. Another spot is later in the dungeon,
within the long winding corridor room, in the small alcove near the lower left,
with an Agility Source (like a Magic Source). Finally, there lies a spot in a
room filled with strong currents, south of where the Water Stone is, containing
a Defense Source.
AREA NOTES:
Certainly a fun little dungeon. You'll notice as you enter the center room is
filled with flowing water; you can walk against it in some cases, like this
room. First, go around to the left room and you'll notice there are two ways in
and one way out. Going in through the bottom left entrance will lead you to the
mining spot mentioned with little enemy opposition; take the upper path for
the Event spot. The middle will take you out.
For further progression in the area the bottom right entrance is the way to go
from the main room. From here you can head north to a chest, but the current is
strong; use the Gears of Time to freeze time and go through easily. Inside is a
Bazooka. From there, head south through the other exit. No way back once you go
down the waterfall.
The next room is an incricate corridor area filled with monsters. A chest is in
the dead center; take a left on the water, then head right and forward, and
it's in the northern part of the alcove. Inside is a Flamethrower. The exit is
at the top left.
There's a chest in the next room too, directly south in the long hallway.
Inside is a Light Stone. At this point you'll start running into a wider
variety of enemies, so keep on your toes. You'll have to fight the current and
head west to progress. To the north of here is the next room to progress
through, but to the south is a room with more strong currents. Like before,
use the Gears of Time to go through. At the second south alcove is a mining
spot, and at the north end is a chest with a Water Stone.
At the north room there are two exits. The center one leads to a room wth a
Giant Hermit guarding a chest with a Water Stone. It's simple to get without
fighting, though; use the Gears of Time or just be smart about your movements.
Head out and across the small room to the next one. Yes, this place is quite
long.
Just to your left when you enter is a chest with a Submachine Gun. Go west at
the next path and follow it to yet another chest holding a Health Source for
your Max HP. Your Esper probably needs it. The next room is south of the
entrance, not a long trip.
We're almost done here. Skip out the next room directly north and hang a
left to a chest with an Frigid Tome. This kind of magic is basically
the same, except it starts with Blizzaga and costs a lot to repair compared to
the normal Water Tome. Just hold onto it for now.
The next room is finally the end of the monsters, in a way. Open the chest for
the "Remote Control", the item you've been after all this time. Once you get it
a new area will be marked on your map, "Forbidden Mountain". The swirly thing
to the right is a one-way portal that leads you to another room, with an Earth
Stone in a chest. Head out through the north and you'll find yourself back in
the main room. That's it for this place! Make sure you heal up and restore
durability before continuing.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5.37. CENTRAL RIDGE
MONSTERS:
Caladbolg-Neutral
Hermit-Neutral
Lizard Knight-Wind
Rock-Neutral
Sigurd-Dark
MONSTER STRATEGIES:
Nothing new here.
EXCAVATION TREASURE:
Item-Teleporter
Item-Recovery Crystal
Password-Gift: Item 27
Three spots here; one directly ahead of the west exit, one in the bottom
center alcove, and one in the top right. They have a Teleporter, a
Recovery-casting item, and a password for Gift: Item 27.
TREASURE:
None.
AREA NOTES:
Like the last one, it's not notable in the slightest. Feel free to skip it over
if you aren't up to battling.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5.38. FORBIDDEN MOUNTAIN
MONSTERS:
Acid Gel-Wind
Caladbolg-Neutral
Ghost-Dark
Harpy-Wind
Merman-Water
Mustang-Fire
Lamia-Earth
Rock-Neutral
Sidewinder-Earth
MONSTER STRATEGIES:
Mermen are weak to wind as per usual. Lamias don't do much but are weak to fire.
Ghosts aren't significant either.
EXCAVATION TREASURE:
Item-Fire Stone
There's a spot in the center right alcove of the second area with a Fire Stone.
TREASURE:
Item-Wind Stone
Item-Flame Crystal
Shield-Ice Shield
Item-Storm Crystal
AREA NOTES:
The first thing you'll notice is the water-like thing on your map; that is a
healing point. It doesn't restore durability, though... Head to the
empty-looking alcove on the right first and press the switch you find to reveal
a chest with a Wind Stone inside. The paths on this screen are small, so you'll
be doing a lot of fighting. The second area has a chest hidden by a switch in
the top left alcove with a fire-casting item. Also, at the top center there's
an Ice Shield treasure. It's also surrounded by three monsters, so be careful.
The volume of monsters on the third screen looks threatening, and they're still
not any easier to avoid. At the end of the path, past the exit, is a switch
that reveals a chest with a wind-casting item. The next path doesn't seem to
have any monsters, but pressing the switch you see will shove you into a
Chain Battle, like at the Mountain Cave. Avoid it and head to the end of this
part to find a castle; Maitreya's domain...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5.39. SUMMIT SPIRE
MONSTERS:
Acid Gel-Wind
Bone Soldier-Dark
Crowly-Dark
Dullahan-Dark
Merman-Water
Mustang-Fire
Lamia-Earth
Pod-Neutral
Shadow-Dark
Shockenaw-Neutral
Spear Squid-Water
Valkyrie-Dark
Yellow Dragon-Fire
MONSTER STRATEGIES:
Yellow Dragons are not very tough. The skeletons have a variety of status moves
but are otherwise weak. Shadows are weak to Water. All in all, as long as you
are prepared the monsters shouldn't be a problem.
While you're here, feel free to go all out with Dior's stuff without account
for durability. Just trust me on this one.
EXCAVATION TREASURE:
Item-Soil Crystal
Just as you enter, hang a right and you'll find a spot with an earth-casting
item.
TREASURE:
Item-High Potion
Item-Strength Source
Gun-Psycho Gun
Item-Earth Stone
Item-Teleporter
Item-12k Gold Nugget
Body-Battle Exosuit
AREA NOTES:
There's nothing of interest on the left, so just head forward. And get ready;
this place is going to be a whole mess of the same thing over and over.
On the second floor, right by the exit, is a chest with a High Potion. On the
same place on the third floor, there's a Strength Source. Nothing on the fourth
but more monsters, but there is a chest on the fourth-fifth between with a
Psycho Gun, which isn't bad for your Esper as it attacks with Magic Power like
the Psycho Sword. It even multitargets in a group from the getgo!
Nothing on the fifth floor at all. There's a chest right at the start of the
sixth floor with an Earth Stone. The seventh floor is barren of treasure, as is
the eighth. When you enter the eighth-ninth inbetween, a story scene will start.
Dune and his unseen party will step onto the center, and the floor will open,
causing them to fall in. Dior, however, is not on the trap. Dior moves further
up by himself and notices a turtle monster press a switch to open a secret
door. He decides to move forward on his own, and from this point on, your
party is without a fifth. You'll have to climb the eighth floor again.
Back on the eighth-ninth inbetween, the game will cut to Dior, who's found
Maitreya on his own. She apparently knows who he is and why he's come. Dior
demands the Dimensional Warp and Nemesis, but Maitreya has already sent Nemesis
to the Otherworld. They then begin to fight offscreen...
Now that you're in control again, open the chest with a Teleporter inside. The
ninth floor has only one monster, a Giant Acid Gel encounter. A Blizzaga
attached to a combo should be enough to take care of them. Sometimes, however,
they may be paired with other enemies, including a Giant Spear Squid or Giant
Shadow. That makes this place a great area to level monsters. Skip past the
secret door and head to the tenth floor the usual way, there are two nice chests
here. One has a 12k Gold Nugget, and another a Battle Exosuit, armor that raises
Strength. Like the Psycho Armor, it doesn't apply to Cyborgs. Now head back and
press the switch Dior saw.
Make sure you're all set and approach Maitreya at the end of the passage.
Talking to Dior will reveal that he was definitely not strong enough to beat
Maitreya on his own. He begs you to get the Dimensional Warp from her. Dune is
surely mad at Dior's injury, so he gets into rage mode when talking to
Maitreya. Dior also mentions that Sol and Nemesis are not in this dimension
anymore. Polnaref has a serious moment with the female master, apparently
formulating a plan out of brute force. Then the battle commences!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOSS BATTLE: Maitreya (and Harpies)
Maitreya-Water 6000 HP
STR 43 AGI 48
MAG 36 DEF 43
Abilities: Traits:
Charge All Status Immune
Ice Fire Vulnerable
Slap Water Resistant
Lullaby Water Boost
Summon
Your first boss battle in a long time that isn't a big guy accompanied by
goons. Like usual, just launch your most powerful attacks all at the target.
Maitreya can summon Harpies to assit her, but they go down almost too easily.
A waste of a turn, if you will. She's strong against Water but weak to Fire. Be
careful about her Ice magic, it can easily one-shot anybody weak to it or not
invested in Magic.
You'll win 11110+ Kero once she's down, and the Dimensional Warp, expectedly.
You'll also unexpectedly win the Scouter System from her; when applied, it
allows you to sneak up behind an enemy and press A to attempt to remove them
without a fight. It won't work if they've noticed you. Its primary use is to
power up the Stethelos' weapons, though.
Dune rushes back to check on Dior, who seems worse than we thought. Dune
will use the Radio to call Pulsar, and inform him of their success on both
ends; the Dimensional Warp and the Remote. Pulsar wll then proceed to OPEN
THE SHRINE and the Stethelos will fly out, responding to Dune's Remote. Dune
will tell the Stethelos to bring the group to Viper City.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The party regroups at the base in Viper, where a doctor is working on Dior (the
same one that heals you for free). Sireugh is apparently concerned about
Nemesis. Dior then emerges from the working room, healthy as can be. Of course
we can't have death in this game!
He'll rejoin your party, but only for an extremely short period; don't be
concerned about that. The game will then give you a tutorial on using the
Stethelos for navigation; you can travel freely about the World Map using the
Hover Engine. When you're over an area you want to go to, press A to enter it.
Press Y to board and leave the Stethelos when you're over an area. Press X to
go to the cockpit and use things like Warps and the Capsule Hotel. The new
first option when you examine the control panel is to start flying again.
There's also apparently a mining spot in the lab if you missed it before; it's
to the left of the main room and contains a Password, what else? It's Item 25.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You can use the Stethelos to go to some places you couldn't before. An example
is the Irem Pass and Mountain Cave in the present, if you haven't done the
special Event with Freyja. The field area has two chests with a Fire Tome
and a Password for Item 41. The Mountain Cave has one chest in the right room
from the third floor, with Diamond Mail, and another with a Password in the
room before Dogra's, with a password for Item 44.
Before going to the Otherworld you need to talk to Pulsar again. He'll explain
the Scouter System, and then he'll upgrade your Remote. It is now an
equippable weapon capable of summoning the Stethelos to shoot the enemy in
battle. It only has one attack for now, and getting more is tied to quests. Now
you are free to go and warp to the Otherworld, but be warned; THIS IS A POINT
OF NO RETURN, at least for some time. There are some sidequests you can do
now; namely with Pulsar, LET THE HUNT BEGIN and its sister quest THE HUNT
CONTINUES will upgrade your Stethelos a bit more.
The group will install the Scouter System and warp to the Otherworld, cutting a
hole in the time fabric to go through. While this goes on, Dune gets another
visit from the Wanderer. He's still as mysterious as ever. But in the middle
of their talk the Stethelos begins to ring an alarm. It "had an accident". But
you'll get the Future Drive for your Gears of Time! It apparently does the same
thing as the Past Drive, except the character will use the strongest attack on
one of your weapons, and also act immediately after the use is enabled. Also,
you can go into the negative Gears of Time charges now; as thus, it will take
longer to bring back up, but negative charges can have benefits.
The party seems to be all right though the trip was shaky. Dior will inform the
party that in the crash, the Hover Engine and all Warps were damaged. You're
left with the crummy Drive Engine, which won't let you go wherever you want;
only on land. Dior decides to split off from the party on his own mission while
you're left to go find Nemesis.
From here, you can go to either Darius or Hermit Village. Darius has shops, so
head there first.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5.40. TOWN OF DARIUS
WEAPON SHOP:
Sword-Coral Sword
Katana-Ninto
Blade-Psycho Dagger
Gun-'44 Magnum
MAGIC SHOP:
Magic-Fire Tome
Magic-Blaze Tome
Magic-Healing Tome
ARMOR SHOP:
Helmet-Beret
Body-Diamond Mail
Gloves-Mythril Bangle
Boots-Cyber Boots
Accessory-Sunglasses
ITEM SHOP:
Item-High Potion
Item-Elixir
Item-Gold Needle
Item-Cough Drop
Item-Antidote
Item-Remedy Crystal (revival-casting, Esuna)
SHOPPING TIPS:
Above all, get Cyber Boots for everybody; they raise Agility slightly, and for
once, equally for Cyborgs. Your esper will appreciate the Psycho Dagger; like
the gun and the sword, it uses Magic Power for its basic attack. Remember that
the sword is wind-elemental, so you might want to alternate between it and the
Icebrand. Buying the Blaze Tome is unnecessary.
STORY PROGRESSION:
In the two houses are treasure; the right has an Healing Tome, the left an
Elixir. People around here will tell you that Muon and Summon don't work around
here, so you really are stuck in this place. The ship doesn't seem to be
running yet either, so... might as well pop into the other locale around here.
EVENTS:
If you're on New Game+, you can do THE SCIENCE OF DEDUCTION at the bar.
HUNT: KINAYA HIGHWAY
Plug in a password for this new hunt in Darius [es4hju]. You'll be granted
the chance to go fight across the sea by a man near the docks. Once you have
access to the area, you'll find the giant Pirate straight ahead from the left
exit. Defeat it and return for a cool 25,000 Kero.
DIG: KINAYA HIGHWAY
The old man by the warehouses gives you this sidequest, but you can't do it
until you clear the Catacombs. The spot is located in the south, somewhat
trapezoidal area of the Kinaya Highway, and it has three Water Stones.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5.41. HERMIT VILLAGE
MONSTERS:
Werecat-Fire
MONSTER STRATEGIES:
There are mummfied cats wandering around here; if you talk to one, it will
fight you. But it's one on four, and they're really weak, so don't worry about
a thing. They don't go away afterwards anyway...
AREA NOTES:
All the houses in the area are ransacked and destroyed. People around the place
have been turned to stone, except for one in the house closest to the entrance.
Talk to him and he'll tell you about Fenrir, the master who is just having a
ball ruining lives. He also seems to be the one with Nemesis now. Fenrir's
Labyrinth will be marked on your map. Before you head there, go to the leftmost
side of town and examine the tree; you'll get some Silver Vine Powder, which is
essential for getting through.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5.42. CATACOMBS
MONSTERS:
Echidna-Earth
Hardwind-Wind
Mage-Neutral
Mummy Cat-Fire
Pirate-Fire
Salamander-Fire
Security-Neutral
Siren-Wind
Twinhead-Neutral
Wyvern-Wind
MONSTER STRATEGIES:
Put priority on Sirens, because they have instant death attacks. Twinheads are,
like any other tank, a dangerous force, but still weak to earth. Salamanders
are weak to water, but a Blizzara probably won't be enough to take them out in
one shot. The Pirate is strong against water. Though Security don't look like
much, they can still hurt significantly. Kill them with persistence. Hardwind
are weak to fire, but they also can be tough like Salamanders. Same with Mummy
Cats and Earth.
EXCAVATION TREASURE:
Password-Dig: Hasid Pass
One spot exists in the dead center corridor of the area. It has an Excavator
Password.
TREASURE:
Item-Magic Source
Body-Mink Coat
Item-Teleporter
AREA NOTES:
Doesn't look like there's a lot of monsters here, but that's cause the main map
is divided into sectors. To the left, your path is blocked by a cat, but you'll
use the Powder and it will go away. You'll then be treated to a scene with
Fenrir, apparently trying to interrogate his prisoner. You'll also get your
first look at Nemesis, the one with purple hair.
Your destination is the switch at the far end of the left area. Once you hit
it, go all the way around to the south entrance of that room, and head for the
exit directly north of there. Now a chest with a Magic Source will be
available. Go to the right side of the maze.
Taking the far right entrance will let you find a chest with monsters all
around it. Your prize for opening it will be a Mink Coat, which is just plain
amazing on Defense. Go around and take the near exit, looping around to a
ladder and heading north from there. To the right of this room is another
chest with a Teleporter. However, a locked door impedes your progress further,
so go back and take the left exit.
Your destination here is the center; go in and proceed down the hall. You'll
find Fenrir just in the next room, a much shorter dungeon than last time!
Fenrir will mention Ragna, his lord, who is the real guy behind the troubles
of the world, and that Nemesis has a power that could hurt him. Of course,
Fenrir doesn't have a problem explaining all this to you, mostly because he
doesn't seem to like Ragna either. But some guys are bad and some are good!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOSS BATTLE: Fenrir, two Osiris
Fenrir-Wind 6500 HP
STR 49 AGI 52

Enigma Earth Vulnerable
Double Kick Wind Resistant

Osiris-Fire 813 HP, LV 8
STR 52 AGI 58
MAG 44 DEF 48
Abilities: Traits:
Claw Surprise Attack
Black Fang Immune Body
Gaze Item Finding
Recovery
I implore you go focus on the Osiris first thing; the combined force of the
three fighters will kill you before you can say "labyrinth". Two well placed
level 4 techs should be enough to destroy them. Don't be afraid to use your
Elixirs if you find yourself in a tight spot. The Present Drive is also there
to deal that extra big boom you need to hurt the guy bad. He's strong against
Wind, so don't use that; use Earth.
You'll get 13180 Kero for winning. If the Osiris drop meat, definitely apply
it to your monster, they are very strong enemies for this point in the game.
You'll also get the key to the locked door from before. Head there, it's to
the top right of the area.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Once you open the door, you'll be treated to a switch. It's a Chain Battle
trap, though, so ignore it. Head downstairs, and you'll see Nemesis, who was
expecting Dior. However, she's just as happy to see Dune. Dune asks about
Stethelos Mk II, but Nemesis doesn't know anything about it. Nemesis explains
that she was captured because she's the only one who can draw Excalibur, one
of the Sacred Swords. And these swords are the ultimate weakness of the god of
the Otherworld, Ragna.
Nemesis will then join your party! Dune will contact Dior by radio, and
he'll be happy to hear that Nemesis is all right. Once Dune relays all the
events to him, Dior will buzz out with other things to do.
Nemesis is a human, but despite that she's very balanced. She has the Gaia
Blade, which is unsurprisingly earth-elemental. She also has Dior's sword and
katana, along with a nice Axe. In the magic department, she has pre-sparked
the level 3 Recovery Cura, which targets all party members. This is something
you want to get for your own Esper really soon, too, so work on that. She has
basic Fire and Wind magic, and also all techs for Endowment magic. They
are "Bravery", "Faith", "Haste", and "Protect". To top it all off, she has a
Circlet on to prevent petrify. I'd use a Teleporter to get out of here once
you're done gawking.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Go back to Hermit Village to find it's devoid of monsters now. Talk to the man
from before, and Dune will ask him about Excalibur. The man directs him to
take a ship from Darius to get to Kinaya in order to meet Barzai, his teacher.
He'll also mark "Mt. Hasid" on your map, where apparently there is something
important.
Don't leave yet, though; in the house that was blocked by a petrified person,
there is a chest with a Dark Stone. You could talk to him too, but it's just
a taste of what's to come at this point.
THE WORST POSSIBLE TIME is available here now.
HUNT: CATACOMBS
A man in the northern graveyard of Hermit Village will give you something
else to do in the Catacombs. The Giant Mummy Cat is in the room directly
south of the switch on the west wing. The man will give you one Black Tome
for your trouble, which has advanced Dark spells.
DIG: CATACOMBS
A woman south of the house with the Dark Stone corresponds to the password
you found back on the Floatland. The spot to mine is in the same room the Mink
Coat was in. It has three Fire Stones.
Once you're done, at Darius you are able to take the ship now; go ahead and do
that. It'll take you to Kinaya.

SHOPPING TIPS:
That is a lot of stuff. First off, yes, ALL of the Cyber gear will raise
agility slightly. Cyber Suits don't raise agility as much as Psycho Armor,
which you can buy here too, but they have more defense. It's your call on the
armor, but the Cyber Helms are an absolute must.
You can get elemental-resistance accessories here for the first time. If any of
your characters has a weakness, this would be a good way for it to go away. As
for status resistance, you'll probably want Earrings for resisting Paralysis.
Now, the weapons. Quite a bit of good stuff here. Note that as you get better
Jutsus, they reduce in durability. Keep your old ones equipped. Still, 70
is a lot of charges. Get the Arondight, and probably the Coral Sword if you
didn't before. If you feel up to it, get the Orichalcum Spear too, it's decent
enough if you've been investing in Strength.
Regarding Magic, I would still be wary about buying new stuff. Be patient.
STORY PROGRESSION:
The other ship here won't run, so once you're done shopping head out to the
field. It's time for a nice exploration run! By the way, the Stethelos will be
with you when you leave Kinaya, thanks to the generosity of the ship owner.
EVENTS:
DIG: HASID PASS
An old man in the corner gives you this Event that you got from the password
in the Catacombs. The spot located on the southern end of the road gives you
three Wind Stones.
HUNT: HASID PASS
A guy by the mall will give you this quest. The target is a Giant Echidna, who
is located just at the east entrance. Beat it and return for a twofold prize;
three Light Stones and the password for "The Last One's Spell".
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5.44. KINAYA HIGHWAY
MONSTERS:
Hammerhead-Water
Octopus-Water
Pirate-Fire
Salamander-Fire
Skull Rex-Dark
MONSTER STRATEGIES:
Enemies aren't worth worrying about here, just make sure you take care of the
dinosaurs rapid-like with Fire or a nice Physical strike.
EXCAVATION TREASURE:
Cannon-Missile
A sole spot is directly ahead and a little to the left of the west exit. Go
around the cliff to the lower level to find the spot, and within is another
Missile.
TREASURE:
Item-15k Gold Nugget
Password-Gift: Item 42
AREA NOTES:
A field area with normal treasure on it?! Anyway, they're both to the right of
the minimap, one at each corner. The top right chest has a 15k Gold Nugget and
the bottom right chest has a Password, Item 42. Remember that you can collect
these items at any time with the Stethelos following you around.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5.45. HASID PASS
MONSTERS:
Hammerhead-Water
Mage-Neutral
Pirate-Fire
Salamander-Fire
MONSTER STRATEGIES:
Nothing notable here.
EXCAVATION TREASURE:
None unless you take the Excavation Event.
TREASURE:
Item-Earth Stone
AREA NOTES:
The one chest is in an alcove at the top center. There's an Earth Stone inside.
Now, there's an exit to the left of here that leads to the next dungeon, but
you won't be able to do anything there without going to the mountain first. You
could explore the field area before it, but I'll put it after the mountain for
simplicity's sake.

MONSTERS:
Echidna-Earth
Green Snake-Dark
Hardwind-Wind
Lizard Prince-Wind
Lorn Master-Water
Mummy Cat-Fire
Qing Wa Shen-Water
Security-Neutral
Twinhead-Neutral
MONSTER STRATEGIES:
More dreaded Security monsters, awesome. You'll be appreciating the Paralysis
Protection I recommended earlier here. Enemies will be respawning a lot earlier
than they used to, so don't be surprised if you're fighting your way to and
away from a chest or something. They're also getting quite fast; fish and
birds match your speed now.
The big thing to make battles a whole lot easier is to take advantage of all of
the Agility-boosting equipment and use skills and weapons that take advantage
of agility; Jutsus, Bows, Blades and things like that.
There aren't too many new monsters around the first areas of this place;
Echidnas are a simple matter and aren't too powerful. The third area has
Qing Wa Shens, which are somewhat frail. Green Snakes, the giant Mechas,
should be dealt with via magic as usual. Lorn Masters are strong against Wind.
EXCAVATION TREASURE:
Sword-Psycho Sword
Greatsword-Ogre Killer
Body-Cyber Suit
Item-12k Gold Nugget
Item-Revival Crystal
In the first area, at the extreme right is a spot with a Psycho Sword (a bit
late?).
The second area has three spots; two in the dead end right section and one in
the left. The two right spots are each at the end of paths that aren't chests,
and contain an Ogre Killer and a Cyber Suit. The left spot is in an alcove
halfway through and has another 12k Gold Nugget.
The fourth area has a spot at the top left, on the path that isn't the dead
end. It has a revival-casting item.
TREASURE:
Item-Light Stone
Password-Gift: Item 45
Accessory-Fireproof Mantle
Body-Cyber Suit
Item-Teleporter
AREA NOTES:
Your next dungeon is where the man told you to go; though Excalibur isn't here,
a crew member of the Stethelos is. You'll be fighting the current in the first
area, but it's possible to get through on your own. From there, head to the
right; though it's a dead end, the left path has an alcove in the middle with a
chest, which has a Light Stone. Then head out and go on the left path from the
entrance instead, and fight through to the third area.
A chest here is in the eastern path, and it contains a password. The lower left
will bring you towards the next area, but there are two exits; the closer one
is a dead end with a few chests. At the north end is a Fireproof Mantle; at the
south is yet another Cyber Suit. Leave and go to the far exit.
On this path there's an alcove to the right with a Teleporter. From there,
follow the path north to the next locale. This is the final part of the
dungeon; just a few more monsters on the way to the boss. When you reach it,
you'll realize that somebody already beat you to getting here. The man will be
talking to the god, Belial, asking him why they want to rule the world. Belial,
addressing the old guy as Barzai, only says that under the guidance of Ragna,
things just have to go the way he says. As Barzai is about to be attacked, Dune
and his party step in and begin the fight!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOSS BATTLE: Belial
Belial-Neutral 8000 HP
STR 47 AGI 53
MAG 45 DEF 50
Abilities: Traits:
Poison Rain All Status Immune
Ominous Laughter Weapon Resistant
Entangle Status Infliction
Fire
Charge
Odor
You might as well go all out with this guy, there's no minions or anything. If
he hurts you badly (which he ought to) use Nemesis's magic to heal all party
members. He's able to stun party members, but that's not a big deal. He doesn't
seem to be weak to or strong against any element. He's capable of instant
death, so be careful. He has an attack that targets all party members, and
poisons them at the same time, which is brutal.
You'll win 12,000 Kero from him. Dune then tells Barzai about the Stethelos,
which he used to be a crewmember of. Dune will ask about the Excalibur, but
Barzai doesn't know about it... he will direct the party to another crewmember,
Charles, who lives near here. Barzai then motions towards the chest behind
Belial while Crystal Cape gets marked on your map. Opening the chest reveals
the Sword of Solomon, one of the Sacred Swords! It's a Greatsword, so hand it
to your Cyborg if you got one. Just don't use it willy nilly, it's one of the
strongest weapons in the game, so it's also one of the most expensive.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Barzai will be in the shopping area of your Stethelos as the Item Salesman. If
you don't recall, it's the right door from the entrance area, or the first
option on the teleporter. He sells things like Elixirs, Teleporters, High
Potions, and magical items. Not quite that important, but he's there. There's
a field area between the Hasid Pass and the Crystal Cape, so go there
if you want.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5.47. CRYSTAL CAPE
Charles is overlooking the ocean, and the accompanying giant hole, at the far
end. Dune tells him he was recommended by Barzai. Charles says there are four
Sacred Swords; the Solomon, Masamune, Kusanagi, and Excalibur. Of course, Dune
gets excited about the last one. Charles doesn't want to join the Stethelos
until you do something for him; stop Pagos at his labyrinth south of the area,
with Barzai's help. It will be marked on your map. Make sure you've healed up
before going in.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5.48. CAPE OLD ROAD
MONSTERS:
Blue Dragon-Fire
Qing Wa Shen-Water
Joumon Sugi-Earth
Lizard Prince-Wind
Oxo Gel-Wind
Wyvern-Wind
MONSTER STRATEGIES:
Whaddya know, more gel. Once again, prioritize beating them up. Most
enemies here are weak to fire; the trees, the dragons, the frogs, and so forth.
Oxo Gel can become giant, and can be abused: I got a level 10 Flybot here once.
EXCAVATION TREASURE:
Item-High Potion
Password-Gift: Item 26
Two spots here; one ahead of the west exit, one in the top right area. They
have a High Potion and a password, respectively.
TREASURE:
Item-Water Stone
AREA NOTES:
The only chest here is in the bottom of the path curving towards the west exit.
It has a Water Stone.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5.49. LAKESIDE RUINS
The minute you enter you'll see a big two-mouthed dragon blocking the way,
curtosy of Ragna. Yes, we already have a boss battle.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOSS BATTLE: Pagos
Pagos-Neutral 9750 HP
STR 56 AGI 50
MAG 54 DEF 53
Abilities: Traits:
Claw All Status Immune
Tongue Holy Vulnerable
Earth Weapon Boost
Strengthen Regeneration
Ancient Healing Boost
He's a lot stronger than Belial damage-wise, and even more annoying. The dragon
can still stun you up, and use Quakeja (level 4 spell). If anybody's weak to
it, they're dead. He even carries a multitarget version, which is not nice at
all. You should probably have Nemesis heal prematurely if she goes after Pagos.
All in all, this dragon will surely have you on your toes. The worst part is
that he has Regeneration, meaning he recovers HP each round (about 1400), and
if you're not keeping up he'll take a REALLY long time to defeat. Probably the
hardest boss period. If you keep having trouble, use those incredibly powerful
weapons you dug up before (Guillotine and Grudge Sword), and perhaps even the
Sword of Solomon, and see if you can't spark techs for them in the meantime.
You'll get a nice 12600 Kero for winning. However, he doesn't explode and get
out of your way afterwards like most bosses; apparently he's sealed in place by
Ragna. Barzai shows up at Dune's request and undoes the seal, much to Pagos's
pleasure. Before he's gone, however, he instructs you to stop the water flow.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MONSTERS:
Boulder-Neutral
Gryphon-Wind
Insect-Wind
Iria-Wind
Joumon Sugi-Earth
Lizard Prince-Wind
Lorn Master-Water
Oannes-Water
Oxo Gel-Wind
Qing Wa Shen-Water
Wyvern-Wind
MONSTER STRATEGIES:
Just gotta say, I find Insects extremely cool looking. ANYWAY, Iria are weak to
wind like their flying cousins, similarly to Oannes. Gryphons are weak to
Water. Most monsters here aren't worth worrying about.
EXCAVATION TREASURE:
Magic-Storm Tome
Item-Frost Crystal
Item-Antidote
Item-15k Gold Nugget
First, a spot exists right in the first underground portion, at the bottom
right corner. It contains a Storm Tome, very nice. There's a spot in the top
center of the main area, after you've gone underground. It has an water-casting
item. A spot is present in the east area from the main, found near the bottom
center in the water, and hiding in it is an Antidote. One lies in the area
southwest of the main (with the third switch) near the top center, and has a
15k Gold Nugget.
TREASURE:
Item-Fire Stone
Item-Light Stone
Body-Sage's Surplice
Jutsu-Flying Knee
Bow-Yoichi's Bow
Item-Teleporter
AREA NOTES:
First off, there's a chest with a Fire Stone just above the stairs to the next
area. Grab it and head down. There will be a switch in this room, and you
should press it to solve the big puzzle of this area.
Once you surface, you'll be in the main area, where there are three chests; One
in the right center hallway, one in the top left portion, and one in the center
left. Within each is a Light Stone, a Sage's Surplice (even stronger than
the Mink Coat!), and a strong Jutsu you could have bought in Kinaya.
There are four switches including the one you pressed before, and they have to
be pressed in order, indicated by the number of orbs on the tablet by them. If
a switch has brown orbs, do not press it, it's a trap. Ths second switch is in
the northeast corridor, reachable by both the top right and the center right
exits.
The third is in the bottom left exit, in the east section of the place. Also in
this place are two chests, one at the top right and top left. The top right
chest contains a nice Bow, while the other has a Teleporter. At the other side
of this corridor is an outside room with the fourth switch; once you've pressed
them all correctly the water flow in the area will cease, casuing the river
blocking your path on the world map to dissapear. That's it for here.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You'll have to head back to Charles's place, but make sure you're fully rested
up before doing anything. Remember that the Stethelos has all these features,
with the fat monster in the bottom area and the Capsule Hotel. Once you inform
Charles of your success, he'll suggest to go to Stratus for the sage that lives
there, who knows more about Sacred Swords. He'll then submit and go live on the
Stethelos. Stethelos Airbase will be marked on your map, as will the desert
between here and there. However, you'll be forced to fly the Stethelos there;
go ahead and land. What's the worst that could possibly happen?!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5.50. RAGING DESERT
Unfortunately, the Stethelos gets caught in a sandstorm on the way through the
desert, and begins being destroyed. The party evacuates just in time, but the
Stethelos is done for. Everybody seems all right... until the ground begins
shaking. Barzai will tell the party that it's the Desert Master Jormungandr!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOSS BATTLE: Jormungandr
Jormungandr-Neutral 12000 HP
STR 63 AGI 54
MAG 55 DEF 57
Abilities: Traits:
Tackle All Status Immune
Large Fang Holy Vulnerable
Black Sand Magic Resistant
Dissolve Weapon Resistant
Strengthen
Like most other battles with single targets, just go all out with your attacks
and keep Nemesis's healing in mind. Jormungandr is capable of Instant Death,
and he does hit pretty hard, too. Thankfully he can't really kill your entire
party at once like SOME bosses. He can use some HP-draining attacks, but you
should be able to keep up, unlike SOME bosses that REGENERATE HP. If you're
suffering, your character with the highest agility might be able to pull out a
High Potion before Jormungandr's next attack. The second level Recovery spell
also has "priority", so that can be good. Despite being a desert worm, he's
not weak to water, or really, anything but Sacred Swords. He has a lot of
resilience, so don't get discouraged if the battle drags on. He will go down
eventually.
The worm will drop 13800 Kero.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Killing the monster did not bring back the Stethelos, so unfortunately you're
stuck without such novelties as the Radar Array and Timestop Device. The party
will have held on to some parts, but you'll need to explore the desert to find
a few. Thankfully, the game puts a convinient healing spot and the repairman
from the Stethelos right in front of you.
MONSTERS:
Answerer-Neutral
Hyper Brain-Dark
Mephisto-Dark
Pterodactyl-Wind
Roto Rex-Dark
Specter-Dark
MONSTER STRATEGIES:
Like all skele-dinos, Roto Rexes pack a major punch with their attacks. Deal
with them accordingly, like most dinos, with a Fire attack. Hyper Brains know
powerful Darkness magic, and Answerers are capable of confusion like their
swordy cousins. Mephistos and Hyper Brains can drain HP, but are otherwise
frail. Just watch out for Psycho Blast and its corresponding level 2 version.
TREASURE:
Key Item-Drive Engine
Key Item-Excavator
Key Item-Future Warp
Key Item-Past Warp
AREA NOTES:
The first part is right behind you, the Drive Engine. The map layout might be a
bit confusing, but basically you're in the bottom left corner of the desert,
and it's divided into four square sectors, one for each part. Head to the
right, and you'll eventually start running into enemies. Pretty strange ones
for a desert, too. They're quite spread out in this place, so don't worry about
running into chains or anything, for the most part.
The bottom right corner's part is in the center bottom portion of the area.
It's the Excavator. North of there, in the topmost portion, near the
south end of the biggest rock is the Future Warp. Finally, to the left is the
top left corner and its part, the Past Warp, in the top left corner. Once you
get them all, you are allowed to leave the area; it would have been forbidden
otherwise.
To leave, just go anywhere beyond the four corners. Stethelos Airbase is to the
north.
EXCAVATION TREASURE:
Item-Teleporter
Item-Cottage
Item-Scorching Crystal
Once you get the Stethelos back, you'll find some spots here. In the lower
left quadrant, there are two, both around the rock on the right center area.
One has a Teleporter, the other a Cottage. To the right, dead center is a
spot with a Scorching Crystal.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5.51. STETHELOS AIRBASE
There's only one house here, so head over there. Once you enter, you'll find a
guy in a lab coat; ignore him and go to the left, where there are two chests.
Inside are a new Hover Engine!... and a Cottage. Now talk to the guy, who
reveals himself as Quasar. Nemesis knows him. She'll tell him about how Dune
saved her from Fenrir. Quasar will mention a man called Jupiter, who the group
hasn't seen yet... Nobody knows where he's gone. Quasar knows about Dune from
Cronus, and asks where the original Stethelos is. Dune says it was destroyed,
but they got the parts. Quasar takes them and heads out.
Nemesis asks Dune about Dior, and Dune agrees to give him a call on the Radio.
Apparently the signal is incredibly weak, and he hangs up quickly, before he
can explain anything. Quasar returns, saying he put the parts on the Stethelos
Mk II, which promptly explodes out of the wall just outside! Hooray!
EVENTS:
HUNT: RAGING DESERT
This is given by the girl just as you enter. Head on back to the desert's
northeast quadrant to find the Giant Black Dragon, quite an advanced enemy.
Beat it, and when you get back you get 25,000 Kero.
HUNT: CAPE OLD ROAD
The lady by the desk in the Rebel Base will hand over a Hard Mode exclusive
hunt. Head back to the Cape Old Road and your advanced mark will be midway
through the path on the west. It's your old friend Dogra! Like Belial he has
no weaknesses to exploit, so just hammer him with your strongest stuff. He's
really not that hard, being the first boss you fight, so no trouble. When you're
done, go back and claim your prize of the Phaser Cannon, the strongest Cannon of
them all. It's only got 40 uses, though... how sad.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are two crew members of the Stethelos left to find. Dune suggests the
party head to Stratus like they were told by Charles, to see if they can do
something about the Excalibur. Stratus is marked on the map. Charles being with
you may also unlock BACK TO THE HUNT.
Charles is now in your crewroom, selling magic. He has Healing and Endowment
Tomes, along with Revival. Not quite that significant for now. Note that now
that you have the Hover Engine, you can go almost anywhere in the Otherworld...
except one snowy area blocked by a barrier. You can also warp back to the
Past, Present, and Future of the original dimension if you want to, there's no
penalty. Nemesis will not go with you outside the future (or any fifth party
member). There are several cave areas scattered around the Otherworld that you
can explore, but you ought to upgrade your equipment first. Go to Stratus in
the top right of the map.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SHOPPING TIPS:
HOLD OFF. Better shops will be available VERY SHORTLY.
STORY PROGRESSION:
A red werewolf by the mall shop will mark Zacahrion on your map, though you
could have gone there regardless because we can FLYYYYY! In the house to the
right is another crewmember, Zkauba. Dune will fill him in on the situation.
He'll also ask about Excalibur, but he'll say Masamune (the person) was more in
touch with weapons than he. After more chat, he'll leave for the Stethelos.
In the castle are a few things; first off, a chest to the left contains a Wind
Stone. Opposite it is a chest with a Water Stone. Then have a chat with the
king. They tell him of Ragna's threat, and it seems Dune gets respect for
comandeering the Stethelos. The king won't give them a pass through the
underworld without them getting the Excalibur, first.
EVENTS:
TO IREM, WITH LOVE is a password event that occurs here with the king.
HUNT: ISLAND CAVE
The same werewolf in front of the mall will give this quest to you if you're
on Hard Mode. The giant monster is in the bottom right corner of the minimap,
and it's Fenrir. Since it is Fenrir, you'll want to use Earth-elemental attacks
and the Pandemonium if you have it. Avoid Wind-elemental attacks and the Gungnir
for the same reason. It's pretty easy! Your fitting reward for this will be
the Cat Claw, the strongest Jutsu there is.
HUNT: OCEAN CAVE
Thought you were done? No, the naga by the Inn has another Hard Mode hunt for
you. This one takes place in the Ocean Cave. The big monster you're after is at
the far north section of the area. It is merely a giant Tyrannosaurus, though.
Kill it with really strong stuff. Head back for another 40,000 Kero reward.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5.53. TOWN OF ZACHARION
ITEM SHOP:
Item-Salve
Item-High Potion
Item-Elixir
Item-Cottage
Item-Teleporter
STORY PROGRESSION:
At the top of the area is, well, the Excalibur. However, it seems to be stuck
in the ground like in legend. The game won't let you pull it out; only Nemesis
can. But before you can pull it out, you have to go into the rightmost house,
where Masamune lives. He REALLY likes Nemesis. He'll lead the party to the
Excalibur and order Nemesis to pull it out. She nervously does so. And it is
quite magical. Masamune, being a crewmember, will then join the party on the
Stethelos, finishing your additions once and for all. You'll get the Excalibur,
the second Sacred Sword in the game, to use; it's a normal sword despite how
bulky it looks, so give it to a human. Also, in Masamune's house are two chests
with a Light Stone and Elixir.
In the other house is a surprise cameo; the boy and his family from the second
SaGa game! They won't do much for the moment, though, except allude to certain
treasures needed to make a Sacred Sword.
EVENTS:
THE CAVING TOUR is available here, as long as you've been progressing along
enough.
DIG: ISLAND CAVE
The naga on the left side of town will give this to you straight. The spot
is at the top right corner of the area, past the Kijinto chest, and it has
three Earth Stones.
HUNT: CHANNEL CAVE
Another Hard Mode exclusive is given out by the naga slithering around the
bottom right corner of town. The big monster is right by the chest on the
eastern side of the cave with a High Potion. It's a giant Osiris. A bit of
a change from the super bosses, but oh well! Doesn't mean it's any less
intimidating. It should go down quickly, though, and your reward won't be
anything game-breaking, just a sum of 40,000 Kero.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Let's explore the Stethelos crewmembers a bit. Masamune, when you talk to him,
will request that you try and find the Blade of Courage, Jewel of Kindness, and
Mirror of Wisdom so that he can forge a Sacred Sword. He also sells some
expensive stuff.
MASAMUNE'S SHOP:
Sword-Glass Sword
Greatsword-Dimensional Sword
Spear-Holy Lance
Jutsu-Triangle Kick
Bow-Shigetou's Bow
Cannon-Vulcan Cannon
Zkauba will ask you to find the Sacred Oil and Superalloy so he can forge some
great stuff, too. But for now, he sells these things.
ZKAUBA'S SHOP:
Shield-Dragon Shield
Helmet-Dragon Helm
Body-Dragon Mail
Gloves-Mirror Glove
Boots-Mirror Boots
Accessory-Onyx Ring
Get what you can, and if you're short, sell some stuff. The Magic-casting items
sell for a lot. The two of them onboard may also unlock THE NASTIES if you've
completed the other hunting quest, and THE LIMITS OF PRIDE.
Now, the coup de grace; now that you have all four, you can use the apparatus
in the center, the Fusion Reactor. It can mix and match all the Stones you've
been collecting to make items. Here's the list:
Fire and Fire->Body-Sage's Surplice
Fire and Water->Gloves-Genji Gloves
Fire and Earth->Fullbody-Powered Exosuit
Fire and Wind->Item-Gaia Crystal (earth-casting, Misericordia)
Fire and Dark->Item-Gale Crystal (wind-casting, Thunder Force)
Fire and Light->Item-Void Crystal (darkness-casting, Dark Field)
Water and Fire->Magic-Eternal Tome
Water and Water->Item-Ice Crystal (water-casting, Diamond Dust)
Water and Earth->Item-Crimson Crystal (fire-casting, Crimson Flare)
Water and Wind->Blade-Princess Sword
Water and Dark->Spear-Longinus
Water and Light->Helmet-Genji Helmet
Earth and Fire->Greatsword-Haja Sword
Earth and Water->Sword-Sunblade
Earth and Earth->Magic-Ancient Tome
Earth and Wind->Shield-Genji Shield
Earth and Dark->Body-Genji Armor
Earth and Light->Item-Elixir
Wind and Fire->Item-Nuclear Bomb
Wind and Water->Item-Recovery Crystal (recovery-casting, Cura)
Wind and Earth->Item-Revival Crystal (revival-casting, Raise)
Wind and Wind->Magic-Empowerment Tome
Wind and Dark->Magic-Revival Tome
Wind and Light->Katana-Kijinto
Dark and Fire->Bow-Yoichi's Bow
Dark and Water->Axe-Guillotine
Dark and Earth->Jutsu-Mountain Storm
Dark and Wind->Accessory-Skull Ring (protects against Instant Death)
Dark and Dark->Accessory-Ribbon (protects against EVERYTHING)
Dark and Light->Item-Brave Crystal (endowment-casting, Bravery)
Light and Fire->Item-Protect Crystal (endowment-casting, Protect)
Light and Water->Item-Haste Crystal (endowment-casting, Haste)
Light and Earth->Item-Faith Crystal (endowment-casting, Faith)
Light and Wind->Gun-Blackbird
Light and Dark->Cannon-Missile
Light and Light->Accessory-Magic Jewels (protects against everything)
As you can see, it's really quite extensive. Some of this stuff is trash (magic
casting items), but a lot of it is end-game equipment. I think by this point
you can go nuts with your new stuff, as this is when you're intended to get
it. And it's all for free (except for repair costs, but WHATEVER)! Get what
you think you need for your characters.
Ancient Magic Tomes all start with Flare, which attacks all enemies. Their
other techs don't matter, they're just elemental versions of the same attack,
so don't worry about getting one version or the other. Though I'd go for the
one that doesn't use your extremely limited supply of Fire Stones...
Fullbody Armor, if put on, negates your helmet, gloves, and boots. For now,
I'd mostly get Armor rather than weapons. The defense boost of Genji Armor far
outweighs the agility boost of even Psycho Armor, and if you haven't been
investing in agility you won't be outspeeding much by the end of the game
anyway, so it doesn't matter anymore.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You still shouldn't explore the caverns, not before giving Nemesis a well
deserved break. To do that, first go to Stratus and show the King the
Excalibur. In return, he'll give Dune a pass, and tell him to use it at Porto
to go through the Underworld, in order to reach the area blocked by the
Stethelos barrier, Gote. Porto is then marked on your map. Go there.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5.54. TOWN OF PORTO
ITEM SHOP:
Item-High Potion
Item-Gold Needle
Item-Coffee
Item-Mallet
STORY PROGRESSION:
When you enter the town, before long you'll find Dior! Nemesis will be super
happy to see him. Apparently he's been looking into Gote. Dior will tell
Nemesis to head back to the safety of the Stethelos, as he'll be rejoining the
party! Nemesis doesn't want to, but SHE MUST.
Dior's trained a large amount and upgraded his eqipment since he last saw him.
He has the Gaia Blade and a Kijinto katana, along with a powerful Dimensional
Sword and new Jutsu. He comes with Healing, Water, and Earth magic as well. He
also rocks some Sunglasses.
Now is the perfect time to go exploring. The straight path south goes to the
Underworld, but do you really think you're ready? Here are a few locations you
can go to beforehand. If you're not interested, skip ahead three sections.
EVENTS:
HUNT: SOUTH STAIRCASE
A naga by the center-north house of the area will give this to you, only on
Hard Mode. The super-powered Tyr is conviniently located right by the stairs.
Use your Sword of Solomon and Excalibur on him as much as possible. He's got
INSANELY powerful attacks, they could probably one-shot ANY of your characters!
There's really nothing to do but keep on reviving everybody with one character
and just pound on Tyr with the rest. If you do manage to beat him, you get a
high five from me and the almighty Deathbringer, a normal sword that's Dark-
elemental. You also get the password for "To Irem, With Love".
HUNT: UNDERGROUND PASSAGE
The red wolf by the port of Porto is the giver of this other Hard Mode quest.
At the south end of the Highway you'll find super Volvox. Like any other boss
at this point, you should hit 'em with a bunch of Sacred Swords. He's not
nearly as resilient or tough as Tyr, so you should be able to down the skull
cloud thingy with little trouble. He also doesn't have as many strong attacks;
Toxic Rain is really the only big offender... once you fell the beast, return
to Porto to get your prize, another Lost Armor.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5.55. ISLAND CAVE
The cave is located southeast of Kinaya.
MONSTERS:
Boulder-Neutral
Gryphon-Wind
Joumon Sugi-Earth
Oannes-Water
MONSTER STRATEGIES:
Boulders are weak to water, and that's all you'll find new here.
EXCAVATION TREASURE:
None.
TREASURE:
Katana-Kijinto
Item-Fire Stone
Item-Dark Stone
AREA NOTES:
The three chests here are in the bottom left corner, the center bottom alcove,
and halfway through the top corridor. The top chest has a Katana inside, the
same one Dior has. To get to the bottom left chest, you need to press a switch
just north of the bottom center chest, which incidentally has a Fire Stone. The
switch behind the now open door has a Dark Stone.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5.56. CHANNEL CAVE
This area is surrounded by familiar ones; Mt. Hasid, Darius, and such. It's in
the middle of a lake.
MONSTERS:
Boulder-Neutral
Gryphon-Wind
Kraken-Water
Joumon Sugi-Earth
Osiris-Fire
Stegosaurus-Earth
MONSTER STRATEGIES:
Krakens are weak to Wind. Osiris actually pack a huge punch (as you recall from
Fenrir), so don't take them lightly. Stegosauruses can do decent damage but
fall to water attacks; still, Blizzaga might not do it in one shot. But you've
got all this new equipment, don't you want to spark their techs? Take it easy
on the monsters. You don't want to go bankrupt, either.
EXCAVATION TREASURE:
Item-21k Gold Nugget
There's a spot right in front of you as you enter with a 21k Gold Nugget.
TREASURE:
Item-High Potion
Item-Light Stone
Greatsword-Haja Sword
AREA NOTES:
Three more chests in here, each at every dead end except the north one. From
right to left, they're a High Potion, Light Stone, and Haja Sword (the same you
could get from mixing stones).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5.57. OCEAN CAVE
This cave is up and left of Stethelos Airbase.
MONSTERS:
Kraken-Water
Oxo Gel-Wind
MONSTER STRATEGIES:
Nothing new here.
EXCAVATION TREASURE:
None.
TREASURE:
Jutsu-Mountain Storm
Item-Fire Stone
Item-Elixir
AREA NOTES:
You can't go to the area with two chests in this place; some frightning wind
will keep you from proceeding. This is linked to the "The Caving Tour", found
at Zacharion. It will lead you to a Fire Stone and an Elixir, two good prizes.
The chest you can get is easy to find; hang a right at the first intersection
and it's right there. It has the Jutsu you can mix stones for.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5.58. SOUTH STAIRCASE
When you first enter the underworld, you'll be shoved straight into this place.
Dior will suggest that we remember to try and trick the underground dwellers
that might be guarding the entrance to Gote.
MONSTERS:
Centaur-Fire
Gargouille-Dark
Hyper Brain-Dark
Insect-Wind
Nyx-Water
Pixie-Wind
Teramouse-Earth
MONSTER STRATEGIES:
The new monsters around here tend to hit harder than they used to, often
dealing around 200 damage or even 400. Despite this, it's still best to
conserve resources, as you're going to be going a very long time without seeing
civilization. And for the love of god, don't underestimate combos; if the enemy
manages to transcend, like with the Hyper Brain and TeraMouse's upgraded Psycho
Force, you're going to SUFFER. Nyx are, of course, weak to wind, as are
Teramice. Pixies have barely any physical defense, and other monsters should
just be hit with your semi-strongest attacks.
One spell you should really work on getting, besides Cura, is the third tech
for the Revival Tome, Raisera. It heals and revives the entire party by
50% of their HP, which is priceless in several battles later on. In short,
things are going to get a lot harder.
EXCAVATION TREASURE:
Item-Dark Stone
Item-Teleporter
There are two spots here, one in the top semi-circular area and another in the
middle of the enemyless path in the center of the place. Respectively they
contain a Dark Stone and a Teleporter.
TREASURE:
Magic-Revival Tome
AREA NOTES:
There's a treasure right behind you! You'll likely have to fight a chain battle
with the two monsters at either side of it, but when you win you'll get access
to a Revivial Tome. Fight the monsters here to get a taste of what to
expect for the rest of this essentially superlong dungeon disguised as an
overworld.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5.59. UNDERGROUND PASSAGE
MONSTERS:
Centaur-Fire
Gargouille-Dark
Insect-Wind
Nyx-Water
Pixie-Wind
Zoom-Neutral
MONSTER STRATEGIES:
A few new things here; namely Zooms, who you'll hope stick to trying to inflict
blindness on Dior or something. They don't have much else going for them.
MINING SPOTS:
Item-Fire Stone
Item-15k Gold Nugget
Item-Teleporter
There are three that form a triangle around the center wall of this area. They
have a Fire Stone, a 15k Gold Nugget, and another Teleporter.
TREASURE:
None.
AREA NOTES:
The north path leads into the way forward, but the west path leads to those
mushroom areas we all know and love. There are six seperate ones, and you might
as well explore them now since they're chockful of neat treasure.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5.60. MUSHROOM FORESTS
There are six. The first one is the northeast one, and you can travel to others
without having to clear them. I'll condense all six into one section to save
heartache.
MONSTERS:
Answerer-Neutral
Centaur-Fire
Death Knight-Dark
Dorcus-Fire
Hydra-Earth
Hyper Brain-Dark
Mephisto-Dark
Teramouse-Earth
MONSTER STRATEGIES:
Hydras are weak to earth. Same applies with the giant ones, if you so choose to
take them on. The rest are nothing terribly important.
SOUTH EXCAVATION TREASURE:
Magic-Gaia Tome
In the south field, there is a spot at the very top edge with an Land
Tome.
SOUTHWEST EXCAVATION TREASURE:
Item-Jet Black Crystal (darkness-casting, Abyss Mist)
The spot here is to the right of the top right portion of the forest. Inside
is a magic item that casts Abyss Mist.
NORTHWEST EXCAVATION TREASURE:
Item-Dark Stone
At the end of the area is a spot. It has a Dark Stone.
NORTH EXCAVATION TREASURE:
Item-??? (Recovery-casting)
A spot lies at the south portion of the map, right next to the chest. It has a
Recovery-casting item.
SOUTHEAST TREASURE:
Item-Earth Stone
Item-Ice Crystal
SOUTH TREASURE:
Item-High Potion
SOUTHWEST TREASURE:
Item-Magic Source
NORTHWEST TREASURE:
Item-Teleporter
NORTH TREASURE:
Item-Dark Stone
Key Item-Jewel of Kindness
AREA NOTES:
The northeast forest just has two monsters and a healing spring. Use it if you
need it.
The southeast forest is monsterless and has two treasures; an Earth Stone and
an water-casting item. It also has a healing spring. Consider it a sanctuary of
sorts.
The south forest has more monsters, and the lone chest here is guarded by a
Giant Hydra pair, along with a Spider Web. To get rid of the web, you have to
go to the west alcove in this area and press the switch there. The chest has a
measly High Potion, hardly worth the effort.
The southwest forest also has a lone chest, but not as well guarded. You'll
still have to press a switch to get rid of a web; this time it's near the
entrance, at the right corner of the bottom left portion. The chest at the end
has a Magic Source.
The northwest forest is much like the southwest; one chest, a few monsters
scattered around. The chest, at the top right corner, has a Teleporter.
Finally, the north forest, the largest of them all. There are two chests here,
one to the south and one nearby, to the right. A healing spring is to the east.
The nearby chest contains a Dark Stone. To the west is the switch you need to
press (yet again) to go south. There is one of the items you need to collect
for Masa, the "Jewel of Kindness".
I would highly recommend going back to town and restoring your durability
before going to the cave north of the second field.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5.61. VALE OF PNATH / JORMUNGANDR'S HUSK
MONSTERS:
Answerer-Neutral
Death Knight-Dark
Gargouille-Dark
Mephisto-Dark
Nyx-Water
Pixie-Wind
Pterodactyl-Wind
Specter-Dark
Teramouse-Erth
Zoom-Neutral
MONSTER STRATEGIES:
Nothing new here.
EXCAVATION TREASURE:
Item-15k Gold Nugget
Item-Revival Crystal
Item-High Potion
In the first area, all the way to the left and down, is a spot with a Gold
Nugget 5. The north exit from the side area of the abyss, where there is a
quartet of paths, has a spot in the middle hiding a revival-casting item. Back
at the main cave, the southeast exit leads to a room, where a spot is to the
lower left. There's a Hi-Potion inside.
TREASURE:
Item-Elixir
Blade-Lightsaber
Magic-Gaia Tome
Helmet-Genji Helmet
Item-Light Stone
Spear-Holy Lance
Cannon-Missile
Item-Teleporter
Katana-Muramasa (!)
Item-Dark Stone
Item-Stun Grenade
Item-Earth Stone
Key Item-Sacred Oil
Item-Teleporter
AREA NOTES:
This place can get confusing relatively quickly, so try to keep up. The first
thing to worry about is the green slimy ground; you will take 1 HP of damage
periodically as you walk on it, and there is no way around it. I would first
suggest heading around the curve, and then east towards the left exit of this
first room. Inside will be a single chest with three monsters around it. Within
is an Elixir, so definitely worth the trip.
Go back to the entrance and head west; you should find a chest by a rock, and
inside is a Lightsaber. From there, head north and slightly west for another
chest, once again guarded by a Giant monster. This time it's some Specters.
Behind them is an Gaia Tome, a little too late... but you can still sell it!
Take the exit near the chest to a part of the cave with different music~
This is Jormungandr's Husk, not part of the Vale of Pnath but included here
anyway. Follow the admittedly straightforward path and you'll eventually reach
an intersection; go east there, and you'll find two chests. They have a Light
Stone and a Genji Helmet. Another chest is on a loop to the southeast of the
area, with a Holy Lance inside. The south exit leads to a forked room with two
chests on the south and west paths. The south chest has a Missile, and the
other has a Teleporter.
Once you've left the room, run through the green acid to the north exit. Here
there are two chests, each at the left and right extremes. On the right is a
Muramasa, a Katana that has absolutely no power. Keep it for later, though. And
on the left, finishing this area, is a Dark Stone. A Teleporter will bring you
back to the entrance, where you can continue going through the cave by taking
the southeast exit instead.
There are several paths to take in this room. The one closest to the entrance
leads to another room with three monsters and a chest. Inside is a battle item,
a Stun Grenade. Head out and curve around to a chest with an Earth Stone. Now
go to the central exit, just south of where you are. Yet another room with
three monsters and a chest is inside, but this one has the Oil that Zkauba
wanted.
Finally, go to the top right of the main area and you'll find one more chest,
with a Teleporter. Head north to leave the abyss, and follow the path to an
icky place filled with disgusting things.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5.62. MOZUMA VILLAGE
Like Future Mu, you'll have to use Metamor to get along with the ugly Mozumas
that live here. If you don't, they'll fight you, and they're not exactly pieces
of cake... but if you want to fill up your Monster Notes, go ahead.
WEAPON SHOP:
Sword-Grudge Sword
Greatsword-Raijin's Sword
Blade-Valkyrie Sword
Axe-Vajra
Jutsu-Flash Fist
ARMOR SHOP:
Shield-Mirror Shield
Helmet-Mirror Helm
Body-Mirror Armor
Gloves-Mirror Gloves
Boots-Justice Boots
Accessory-Circlet (protects against Stone!)
MAGIC SHOP:
Magic-Blaze Tome
Magic-Frigid Tome
Magic-Gaia Tome
Magic-Storm Tome
Magic-Black Tome
Magic-Healing Tome
ITEM SHOP:
Item-Salve
Item-Potion
Item-Hi-Potion
Item-Elixir
Item-Cottage
Item-Teleporter
SHOPPING TIPS:
They sell arguably better stuff elsewhere, but the Jutsu here is powerful
AND has 90 durability again! I wouldn't get it, though, since you'll find it
later. If you're lacking some money, sell all the extra equipment you got at
the Vale of Pnath. The boots that raise Magic are very nice for your Espers, and
are the best you can buy. You also can't mix Stones for them, so get a few.
Stock up on High Potions for pinch situations, too. Cottages heal everybody to
max, but not inbattle.
STORY PROGRESSION:
There is slime here that hurts you, so be careful where you step. Go to the
other house that isn't the mall and talk to the Mozuma elder, where you will
"warn" him that people are headed to Gote, and that they even defeated
Jormungandr. The Elder will direct you to the Northern Staircase, which
will be marked on your map, so that you can tell the guard there.
You can also talk to the Mozuma by the big house and he'll tell you about the
Western Towers near the village, which you could explore now... but you're
likely too tuckered out. Go to the right instead and head for the surface!
EVENTS:
HUNT: NORTH STAIRCASE
You can't miss the Mozuma right at the entrance who gives this quest to you.
The monster you are looking for is just by the staircase, to the east. The
Giant Pterodactyl should not give you much trouble. Return and you get three
Wind Stones.
HUNT: MUSHROOM FOREST
After clearing the first one here, you'll get this hunt. It's a bit inconvinient
now, but when you can, head for the NW Mushroom Forest. The Giant Death Knight
is in the bottom right section. Defeat it and go back to the village, claiming
three Water Stones.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5.63. NORTH STAIRCASE
MONSTERS:
Hyper Brain-Dark
Centaur-Fire
Nyx-Water
Teramouse-Earth
MONSTER STRATEGIES:
Nothing new here.
EXCAVATION TREASURE:
Item-Light Stone
One spot is here, at the top left portion. Dig it up to get an Light Stone.
TREASURE:
Item-18k Gold Nugget
AREA NOTES:
The one chest here is just left of dead center. It doesn't appear so, but there
is a monster by it. Inside is a 18k Gold Nugget.
At the north exit there is a Mozuma Guard. Use Metamor when prompted and
you'll tell him the humans were spotted elsewhere. He'll then run off in
pursuit. Your flawless plan worked, are you proud? Go up the ladder and you'll
finally be in friendly territory.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5.64. TOWN OF KOMMANDO
ITEM SHOP:
Item-High Potion
Item-Eyedrops
Item-Gold Needle
Item-Antidote
Item-Teleporter
STORY PROGRESSION:
You probably need to heal up after all that. Unfortunately, you can't use the
Stethelos's free beds here, since it can't get past the barrier (for once!). So
go to the Inn and pay fair for restoration and recharging.
To the west you'll find a house, where the SaGa 2 Family is now taking up
residence. Apparently they're having a lot of fun in OUR GAME. Anyway, talk to
Dad and he'll be slightly enticed by your story of Sacred Swords and saving the
world. He'll settle for giving you the "Blade of Courage", one of the three
things Masamune wants. He will then (offscreen, unfortunately) leave through
the window like old times, along with Mom and the kid.
Now, go back outside and talk to the man in the green cape. Guess who it is,
Volage! We haven't seen him since the first ten minutes of the game, but now
he's here to help in the fight, apparently. He will mourn Jupiter and Nemesis,
who were both apparently killed by Fenrir. But Dune will inform him that
Nemesis is alive and well, and they saved her. Odd...
Anyway, the next plan of action is to destroy the barrier around Gote.
Apparently it's being generated by a Master named Volvox in a temple near
here. Volage will give you High Explosives, and goes to investigate Mt. Gote,
the apparent hideout of Ragna. His last word before he parts is asking if you
have the Excalibur...
The Barrier Ruins are marked on your map. Might as well head on over there,
right? Or you could go to the West Towers. Your choice.
EVENTS:
HUNT: SNOWFIELD TRAIL
A guy near the exit gives this to you. The Giant Nyx you're looking for is
dead center in the Snowfield Trail. The man will give you 100,000 Kero
for your trouble!
HUNT: DARK CAVE
The guy near the southeast house gives this hunt to you as well. Once you're
able to fly to the Dark Cave, go and kill the Giant Cerberus. Slam it as quick
as possible, as it can cure itself. The reward for this quest is the same as
the last, 100,000 Kero!
FATHER'S FOOTSTEPS can be done if the password is inputted, after getting
the Blade of Courage from "Mask".
THE HANIWA can be done before or after, if you are on a New Game+.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5.65. WESTERN TOWERS
MONSTERS:
Black Dragon-Fire
Bone Dragon-Dark
Devil's Angler-Water
Double Launcher-Neutral
Evil Eye-Earth
Grimalkin-Fire
Killer Bee-Wind
King Worm-Earth
Medusa-Earth
Mournblade-Neutral
Quetzalcoatl-Wind
Seth-Fire
Teramouse-Earth
Tyrannosaurus-Earth
Warlock-Neutral
Zoom-Neutral
MONSTER STRATEGIES:
Medusas seem especially weak to Agility attacks, as do Seth. Medusa actually
are weak to earth. Seth pack a major punch with their physical attacks, so try
to kill them first. Mournblades like to hit you with status effects (hate
confusion) and dark magic all the way up to Cloudja, and are also capable of
merging to become a Giant one. Warlocks are strong against earth. Evil Eyes
also employ Dark Magic, and you don't want their transcendence from a combo
activating. The non-skeletal dinosaur is now weak to water rather than fire.
But Killer Bees are weak to fire, so there you go.
EXCAVATION TREASURE:
Cannon-Laser Gun
Blade-Valkyrie Sword
Jutsu-Flash Fist
Axe-Guillotine
On the fourth floor of the first tower there is a spot with a Laser Gun. IF
you press the switch on the second tower, you'll land in a room, right next to
a spot with a Valkeryie Sword. There's also a spot in the north end of the
floor below that one, and it contains the Jutsu Dior has. The opposite
tower has a mining spot in the same place as the first one when you flip it,
which has another Guillotine.
TREASURE:
Item-Fire Stone
Magic-Blaze Tome
Item-High Potion
Item-Teleporter
Magic-Blaze Tome
Item-Wind Stone
Key Item-Mirror of Wisdom
AREA NOTES:
This place is a bit strange. You start on the first floor, of course, and as
you move up you have opportunities to change your perspective. Let's begin by
going to floor two.
No treasure yet, unless you've been eyeing the ceiling... but there's no way
you could get it up there! Nothing of note on the third floor, either. There is
a switch you can press, but it's a trap that releases Mozuma. There's finally
a chest you can get on the fourth floor, which contains a Fire Stone. Rush back
downstairs.
From here you can take the path to the right to go to the other tower. Ignore
the orb in the middle of the room for now. On the fourth floor of the other
tower there is another chest with an Blaze Tome. That should wrap up all of
the basic advanced spellbooks for free, so now wouldn't be a bad time to
"convert", per say.
Nothing on the second floor of this second tower, but on the first floor there
is a single chest with a single enemy. This chest has a lowly High Potion
inside. To the south is the exit, but we're not done yet! Go back to the third
floor and examine the orb. If you press it, the whole place shifts upside-down!
And we don't get hurt.
We're now on the second floor. Go down to the first and you'll find a chest
with a Teleporter. Go up three floors to find another room with a monster and a
chest, containing another Blaze Tome, for some reason. Go down a floor and
take the path back to the first tower.
No monsters on the fourth floor here, but there is a chest with a Wind Stone.
The last chest is on the first floor of this tower, and has what we really came
here for; the Mirror of Wisdom, Masamune's last item. That's it for here. Go
back to Kommando and leave there the normal way. There's a field area between
there and the Barrier Ruins.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5.66. SNOWFIELD TRAIL
MONSTERS:
Grimalkin-Fire
Medusa-Earth
Quetzalcoatl-Wind
Seth-Fire
Tyrannosaurus-Earth
Warlock-Neutral
MONSTER STRATEGIES:
The only new thing here, the Quetzalcoatl, suffers the same way Medusa do;
through Agility attacks. They are capable of Instant Death, so treat them with
care.
EXCAVATION TREASURE:
None.
TREASURE:
Password-Gift: Item 43
Item-High Potion
Item-12k Gold Nugget
AREA NOTES:
There are actually three chests here; a lot for a field area. Two chests are at
the top and bottom of the north and south loops, and another is to the south of
the central area. The southern-most chest has a password, Item 43. The middle
chest contains a High Potion, and the top-most chest has a 12k Gold Nugget.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5.67. BARRIER RUINS
MONSTERS:
Aphrodite-Dark
Devil's Angler-Water
Earth-Neutral
Evil Eye-Earth
Hell Ghost-Dark
Lich-Dark
Medusa-Earth
Oxo Gel-Wind
Quetzalcoatl-Wind
Viking-Fire
Zoom-Neutral
MONSTER STRATEGIES:
Devil's Anglers aren't really strong, but they resist earth and look weird.
Aphrodite like to kick and punch you up, and they can get powerful if left to
their devices. Earth are also weak to Agility, but make up for it with high
defenses. They're still not much to worry about. Use water on them, as always.
Hell Ghosts can actually cast Cura, and with monsters' naturally high Magic, it
will heal upwards of 1200 HP. Kill them quickly. Lich can cast instant death,
so keep your eye on them too.
At this point, fish and birds on the world map will be FASTER than you, so you
cannot outrun them. Likewise, all enemies will spot you from much farther away
than they used to. Try not to get snuck up on. Also, like on Summit Spire,
you can use Dior's skills with reckless abandon. You know why.
EXCAVATION TREASURE:
Item-Fire Stone
Item-Wind Stone
Accessory-Onyx Ring
On the entrance level's top tier's east wing is a spot with a Fire Stone. The
second floor has a spot all the way to the right of the minimap, inside a Wind
Stone lies. Another spot is on the fifth floor down, in the top right edge of
the perimeter hallway. There's an Onyx Ring in it.
TREASURE:
Item-Light Stone
Accessory-Circlet
Item-Earth Stone
Gloves-Dragon Wrist
Gloves-Dragon Wrist
Item-Dark Stone
Item-Magic Source
Body-Sage's Surplice
Item-Teleporter
AREA NOTES:
This place is filled with enemies, so keep your guard up; monsters are getting
stronger by the screen transition. To begin, note the minimap; there are
multiple tiers to a single floor. On this top tier there is one chest on the
western sector, all the way at the end. It contains a Light Stone. From there,
head down a tier and proceed through the hallway. You'll soon find a chest with
a Circlet, which you should equip right away. Down to the second floor after
that.
There's a few ways you could go here. Either way you'll want to curve down and
then north to the top part of the area. Go as far east as you can and head
south from there to another chest, with an Earth Stone inside. There's another
chest on this floor, but it's inaccessible from here. To get to it, return to
the first floor and near the stairs between the tiers, to the south is a hole.
Drop down it and claim the Dragon Wrist. You can drop down again to the third
floor from here.
Once you're on the third floor, a chest will be just next to you, with another
Dragon Wrist inside. Walk across the wire floor to the east for another chest,
with a Dark Stone. From here, the only way to the fourth floor is to drop down
again; the hole is in the bottom center portion of the floor.
Here, a chest is east, north, and west of where you are, in that order. It has
a Magic Source inside. If you take the stairs near there you'll be on the
second floor, but that's not the way we want. Go take the other stairs on this
part of the area to go to the fifth floor.
Quickly go around the stairs and follow the hallway, taking a turn south to go
up some stairs. These lead to the chest you saw but couldn't get, which has a
piece of body armor inside, same as the one found in the Underworld. Head back
up and go north up the stairs; you'll eventually find yourself in a long
hallway, which goes around the perimeter of the area. Follow it left and down,
skip up the exit, and keep on going until you find a turn. There's a chest
sitting there containing a Teleporter. Now go back and take the big path.
Dior will stop Dune and note that, just past the big monster ahead, is a
strange looking machine; it must be generating the barrier. Dior will then
abruptly leave your party to do his thang. Save now, and go confront the big
guy, swords ablaze. Apparently you're all fools!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOSS BATTLE: Volvox
Volvox-Neutral 15000 HP
STR 65 AGI 63
MAG 63 DEF 62
Abilities: Traits:
Fang All Status Immune
Stone Gas Holy Vulnerable
Cursed Eye
Seduction
Toxic Rain
Volvox, as you may remember him, was one of the most annoying bosses from the
original game. Not so much anymore. Save your attacks for right now... He can
petrify and blind party members, but not much else. After you've dealt some
damage, he'll start laughing. Apparently you haven't been hurting him at all!
The Barrier Machine seems to be protecting him from all forms of attack... Dior
then calls out to the party, and cuts the battle off.
While you've distracted Volvox, Dior made it to the barrier machine. Can he
really destroy it? He shows the party the bomb Volage gave you, and then SETS
IT OFF RIGHT WHERE HE'S STANDING
The battle continues from here. Looks like Dior's gone for good this time.
Dune decides you should take your revenge out on Volvox; the machine was
obviously obliterated, so now the battle starts for real! Like most bosses he
is weak to Sacred Swords like Excalibur and Solomon, so if you have money to
spare, go all out with them. If you do, the battle should end very, very
quickly, and Volvox won't have time to do anything horrible.
You'll win 15000 Kero for beating him, and the Fly Engine. The room has filled
up with smoke. There's no trace of Dior anywhere. Duh, guys, he stood in the
middle of an explosion. But... it seems he survived?! He's in incredibly bad
shape. Volage rushes in, and the party regroups at the Stethelos.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nemesis seems to be okay with the fact that Dior almost killed himself. Volage
will then tell you the only thing left to do now is go after Ragna and kill
him, releasing him from Sol, the god of the Otherworld. Mt. Gote is his base,
like was said. Volage will then join your party, and that's it; no more party
members. Mt. Gote will be marked on your map.
Volage is an Esper, so he's good with magic. That is an UNDERSTATEMENT. He
comes with Blaze, Wind, Darkness, and Recovery Magic. He also carries a
Revival Tome (with Raisera!) and an Ancient Tome. This is all you'll ever
need. His weapons are basically the strongest around; the Princess Sword, Sun
Blade, Laser Gun, Longinus, and Yoichi's Bow. But being an Esper, he doesn't
really have strong power to use them. Since his magic is so expensive, you'd
be better off not having him act unless you're in an emergency.
You can give Masamune the Muramasa, and he'll remove its curse. Turns out
it was the sword Masamune all along! It's a Sacred Sword, Katana type. Talk to
him again to merge your imperial treasures into the Kusanagi, a basic Mystic
Sword. Your human(s) should never have to worry about power again. However, you
still haven't found the metal for Zkauba; let's go do that. There are two caves
in the Gote reigon you can go to now with the barrier gone. If you've done some
certain quests correctly, CHOICES will be available at this point.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5.68. DARK CAVE
This is the southern cave out of the two.
MONSTERS:
Boulder-Neutral
Gryphon-Wind
Joumon Sugi-Earth
Oannes-Water
Osiris-Fire
Oxo Gel-Wind
Seeker-Earth
Stegosaurus-Earth
MONSTER STRATEGIES:
By this point, even new enemies should fall to a single hit from your attacks
provided you've been fighting enough. But there's barely anything worth
worrying about here.
EXCAVATION TREASURE:
None.
TREASURE:
Item-Fire Stone
Item-Dark Stone
Key Item-Superalloy
AREA NOTES:
Follow the long path forward and several monsters will await you, along with
two switches to be pressed. From there, go east and take a north turn to a
corridor with two chests; They have a Fire Stone and Dark Stone. The southern
path leads to one more chest in here, holding the Alloy for Zkauba. He'll forge
you an Aegis Shield if you bring it back. Might as well stick it on your Cyborg.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5.69. REMOTE CAVE
This is the northern cave of the two.
MONSTERS:
Boulder-Neutral
Gryphon-Wind
Oannes-Water
Osiris-Fire
MONSTER STRATEGIES:
Nothing new here.
EXCAVATION TREASURE:
None.
TREASURE:
Accessory-Ribbon
Body-Mobius Garb
Item-Dark Stone
AREA NOTES:
From the entrance, follow the path, taking all turns except the last one, and
you'll be lead to a chest with a Ribbon, which protects against everything. It
even reverses HP Draining attacks! Head straight north from there, take a left
and there's a chest with Mobius Garb. It's stronger than any armor in the
game! From there, go east for the last chest here, a Dark Stone.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mt. Gort is the final area in the game. Before you go blindly rushing in, you
should take some time to get more items from mixing stones. Though a lot of
equipment is found there, it wouldn't hurt to prepare accordingly. When you're
ready, fly over there.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5.70. MT. GORT
MONSTERS:
Aphrodite-Dark
Avispa-Wind
Carborane Gel-Wind
Devil's Angler-Water
Earth-Neutral
Giga Worm-Earth
Heqet-Water
Hell Ghost-Dark
Khepri-Fire
Moldcat-Fire
Mournblade-Neutral
Warlock-Neutral
Yamata-no-Orochi-Earth
Yggdrasil-Earth
MONSTER STRATEGIES:
The enemies in the beginning are mostly identical to the Barrier Ruins, but
they will get tougher as time passes, oh, yes. As always, the trees are weak to
fire. Carborane Gel are the latest and greatest in Gel madness, and they can
deal very high damage. Avispa are the ultimate in humanoid insect, and almost
all of their non-magical attacks drain HP. They also have a high quantity of
it, much more than 1000. Aphrodite are actually strong against Mystic
Swords, so don't do that. Heqets are weak to them, though.
Take advantage of Chain Battles for an appreciated money bonus. Like I said, be
wary of using Volage in battle, since he'll go mass overkill on everything. And
if he gets all the kills, you won't get any stats for people who matter!
EXCAVATION TREASURE:
Axe-Sledge Hammer
Blade-Orichalcum
Directly ahead of the entrance of the second area is a spot with a
ridiculously strong hammer, second-best in the game. At the fifth area, there
is a spot at the top right. It also contains one of the best weapons, the
Orichalcum (a Blade).
TREASURE:
Item-Haste Crystal
Item-Light Stone
Item-21k Gold Nugget
Boots-Mobius Boots
Helmet-Mobius Mask
Magic-Healing Tome
Item-Teleporter
Magic-Revival Tome
AREA NOTES:
This is it, the home stretch. Make sure you're really ready, because this area
is LONG. The first thing you should notice as you enter is more acid floors
that damage you around here. Go up and take a right to a chest with some
monsters in the way; In the chest is a Haste-casting item. Head east and north
to proceed further. In the top left sector is a chest with an Light Stone. From
there, proceed northeast to the next area.
From here you can head east to find a healing spring in the corner. No chests
here, so head straight north from the spring to find the path to the third
area, wich is loaded with monsters. Chests are in the bottom right and top left
corners, and have a 21k Gold Nugget and Mobius Boots. Proceed east from the
top chest and move to the fourth area.
It's a... dead end? Did the villain put his lair in a place we can't reach for
once?! So what do we do now? Volage assures the party it's not too late, and
before long you hear a familiar sound. The Stethelos flies over to the mountain
by itself (even though we have like seven people on board who could probably
fly it). The group takes cover and the Stethelos shoots the mountain, opening
a path for the heroes. Volage then informs the party that the Stethelos is
powered with AI coming from the brain of Dune's future dad, who is Jupiter. But
the sad scene doesn't last for long. Use the healing spring and head for the
fifth area.
No treasure here besides mining, but it's a bit annoying as the monsters are
fast and the corridors are cramped. Expect to run into a lot of them. Don't
worry about running low on durability, though, there's a fix for that soon
enough. Move to area six, and it seems that there's another healing spring.
Good. Good for you. But there's a chest here at the first intersection, just
head southeast. It has a Mobius Mask, which is a helmet, and also raises
Magic slightly. The exit is to the south.
Here's another cramped monster-infested area. Head down to the water and follow
it up, taking a turn as soon as you can to get to a chest with a Healing
Tome. Really, game? Anyway, north of here is the eighth area, which is
absolutely crapping out enemies at a breakneck pace. I wouldn't blame you if
you just used the Timestop Device to walk through. I would also give you a high
five every day for the rest of your life if you kill them all. At the fork
in the middle of the area, go left for a chest with a Teleporter. Proceed to
the ninth area. We're almost there... sorta!
This part of Mt. Gote has a loop in the middle, which you can climb to a
healing spring and the fat guy from the Stethelos will restore your
durability... of course, for a price. Fighting enough enemies should give you
more money then you spent using all your stuff, so you should be fine in that
regard. But if you hang a right before going up the loop, you'll find a chest
with a Revival Tome. You know, just in case. Consider this place your final
haven before the worst of the game comes. Loop back down and follow the path
north.
The final part of Mt. Gote has no monsters, but you'll see Ragna's Palace
looming in the distance. This is it!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5.71. RAGNA'S PALACE
MONSTERS:
Avispa-Wind
Archelon-Water
Behemoth-Earth
Belemnite-Water
Carborane Gel-Wind
Cerberus-Fire
Gargoyle King-Dark
Heqet-Water
Khepri-Fire
Lizard King-Wind
Manticore-Wind
Moldcat-Fire
Neo Dragon-Fire
Seraphim-Wind
Sorcerer-Neutral
Stormbringer-Neutral
Unknown-Earth
Yamata-no-Orochi-Earth
MONSTER STRATEGIES:
If you haven't put a Ancient Magic Tome on your Esper yet, you probably
should. The enemy groups here can get quite large so the ability to target
every single enemy on screen is golden. Volage is there for emergencies like
this, so don't forget. Monsters respawn very fast now, so don't waste a second
wandering. Unknowns are weak to Sacred Swords, Lizard Kings are weak to fire,
Manticores are weak to water, and there's not much else around here you can
exploit. Basically, use what you have and use it to the fullest. You'll win.
EXCAVATION TREASURE:
Bow-Orichalcum Bow
Fullbody-Lost Armor
Gloves-Mobius Glove
The first floor has a spot in the north alcove containing an Orichalcum Bow.
On the third floor, the same room that has the Rocket Punch, there's a spot
just by the stairs on the leftmost side holding Lost Armor, fullbody armor that
raises all stats. It's a waste on Cyborgs, though.
Once you've gone through the warp portal, a spot lies in the top left corner,
and inside is another pair of Mobius Gloves.
TREASURE:
Item-Light Stone
Shield-Mobius Shield
Gun-Rocket Punch
Item-Dark Stone
Accessory-Ribbon
Jutsu-Hell Wheel
Magic-Revival Tome
Item-Teleporter
Spear-Sol's Lance
Item-Nuclear Bomb
AREA NOTES:
As you enter you'll get a short scene with Volage and Dune, just getting all
riled up. Once it ends, you'll see quite a few monsters are on this floor.
There's also a few exits to this room; first, take the exit on the southwest
corner. You'll find a puzzle like the one in Chaos Castle; go as far north and
east as you can here, and take the lift left to a chest with an Light Stone.
Then fall off and head quickly for the exit just north of you.
There's a switch in the middle of this room; it changes the layout of the lifts
you saw. Ignore it for now and head into the next room, bringing you to the
northern part of the lift puzzle. Take the platform south and then west for a
chest with a Mobius Shield. Head on the north lift and then east to get to the
stairs leading to the third floor.
There's a chest completely opposite of the stairs here, and it has a Rocket
Punch inside, the best Gun in the game. Ignore the stairs, though, they lead to
a dead end; a cool looking one, but one nonetheless. Go back and take the lift
east, heading back to the room with the switch to change the lifts, and do so.
Then, drop down and go to the east exit on the first floor.
At the bottom, west of the stairs, is a well-guarded chest containing a Dark
Stone. Head up the stairs and fight your way past the monsters here to reach a
chest that wasn't accessible before the lift change, containing a Ribbon. Fall
back down and head to the base entrance of the platform puzzle from the other
room (If you need to head back to recharge your durability, do so NOW. I would
highly recommend it. You will not need to press the switch again if you do
leave.)
In order to proceed with the area, you must fall in just the right spot. That
spot is marked with a cute blue tile, right on the center top platform. Follow
the lift at the top west side to get there, like before, and fall down into a
warp portal. Might as well keep on going, right?
You have two hallways here, and there's plenty of acidic floor to walk on. A
set of stairways are to the left, but to the right are two chests, one at the
top right and the other just south of there. The top chest has the ultimate
Jutsu. The bottom; yet another Revival Tome. Hang in there.
The top staircase leads to a shortcut out of here, in case you realize you're
going to die horribly. Eh. It's also a major kick in the pants for those who
were just curious. That's why I'm warning you now. Instead, head for the middle
staircase; all that's there is a chest with a Teleporter. A warning, perhaps?
Anyway, start for the path opposite this one.
You'll have to fight through a fair amount of monsters, but near the end of
this floor is a fork; head south for a chest with Sol's Lance, the second best
there is. Heading north will treat you to an encounter with the strongest
master of them all, Tyr. Apparently Ragna is the sea in this strange world.
How wonderful. But regardless, we have to fight this guy. What, you didn't
think we'd go straight to the final boss, did you?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOSS BATTLE: Tyr
Tyr-Neutral 26000 HP
STR 79 AGI 70
MAG 87 DEF 76
Abilities: Traits:
Claw All Status Immune
Ruination Ray Holy Vulnerable
Alpha Virus Weapon Resistant+
Ancient Magic Resistant+
Strengthen Combo Resistant
Debuff Immune
It's not like you're getting your durability restored anytime soon, so just
throw everything you have at this guy. Like always, he's weak to Sacred Swords,
but be sure to save some for Ragna. Tyr actully has some decent offense
compared to Volvox, and defense too. All in all, not too threatening at all as
long as you keep your HP up. Just watch out for his Flare counterpart, Meza.
You get 15000 Kero for winning. Tyr will tell you that he was stalling you
as Ragna finished merging with Sol. Unfortunately Ragna's not just up the
stairs...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When you do go up the stairs, quickly curve around and take the southern exit,
which will lead you to the very first chest you saw here, which has a Nuclear
Bomb inside; careful~. Go back through and take the upper stairs; you'll find
yourself in another hallway riddled with monsters. Make your way through
however you wish. A similar hallway is at the end of the next set of stairs,
too. But at the end of this corridor is finally the final part of the final
area, where you will host your final battle against the final boss.
Walk through the long hallway and at the end you'll find... Sol? He's huge.
Looks like Ragna hasn't quite finished the merge yet, but it's in grave danger
of being completed. Sol says the only way to stop Ragna is to kill himself
before Ragna can finish, which he can't do on his own!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FINAL BOSS PART 1: Sol
Sol-Neutral ??? HP
STR 60 AGI 60
MAG 80 DEF 70
Abilities: Traits:
None. All Status Immune
Sol WILL NOT FIGHT BACK, so DON'T USE ANY STRONG MOVES. You will want to
conserve your durability. Basically, just continually whack him until he
succumbs. He'll comment on your work as you progress through.
Once you've beaten him for five turns, the battle will end... However, Sol gets
absorbed into a dark energy mass, resulting in Ragna appearing! Now it's time
for the REAL final battle.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FINAL BOSS PART 2: Ragna
Ragna [red]-Neutral 23000 HP

STR 47 AGI 80
MAG 60 DEF 50
Abilities: Traits:
Fire All Status Immune
Regeneration
Now feel free to go all out with everything you've got. You might want to save
your Sacred Swords, but other than that you're fine. You're bound to get some
four or five-man combos out of this, so you're sure to do some massive damage.
Have Volage on healing duty if anybody needs it. You'll tell you're doing
damage when his tentacles recede one by one.
Ragna knows some elemental variations on Flare, so resistances to elements
inherited through monsters wouldn't be horrible to have. He's got a basic
physical attack, too, but it's not too deadly. If anybody dies, use Raisera,
since the other party members are bound to be hurt too. Regeneration is also
handy in all cases. He doesn't have a weakness, except to Sacred Swords,
but be wary; this battle will last a long time. The Present Drive is also
always there for added mass power.
Once you've dealt enough damage, he'll turn purple and get lots of mouths on
his body. You know, just because it looks menacing. Everything gets more
powerful once he does this. He loses the "Magic Resistant+" trait at this time,
so go nuts with Flare. Ragna may create little Mini Ragnas, but a dose of Flare
or two should down them in no time. Don't let them live, since the combined
power of all four (ESPECIALLY if they combo) is brutal.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FINAL BOSS PART 3: Shin Ragna
Shin Ragna-Neutral 36000 HP
STR 80 AGI 73
MAG 94 DEF 90
Abilities: Traits:
Mobius Barrier Magic Resistant+
Surge of Hades Weapon Resistant+
Summon Combo Resistant
All Status Immune
Debuff Immune
After defeating purple Ragna, he will merge with the Diluvius and try to take
you on in one last desperate move. This is the ultimate form and the worst part
of the battle, so now is the time to use your strongest Sacred Swords to their
fullest potential. Do not let anything pass here. If Volage moves after Ragna,
have him PREMATURELY use Raisera. Do not take any risks! You don't want to get
this far and lose, right?
He can still release mini-Ragnas in this form, so always use Flare. Always. The
Excalibur and Kusanagi have level four techs that attack all enemies, so that
helps too. Occasionally Ragna will do nothing; that means he is preparing for a
monsterous attack by boosting his strength. Unfortunately I don't think it's
possible to kill him before he uses it; just be ready with Raisera. The big
attack happens two turns after the first chargeup. Ragna can also attack the
entire party with Psycho Blast and elemental Flares, bad news for anybody
with low Magic. Use Elixirs, you might as well take advantage of your supply
now. Basically, just about every attack he has hits the whole party, except
for some basic spells. Press through and you will make it, even if it seems
bleak!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Once you defeat him, Dune will hear Sol's voice; since the merge had just
completed, they killed him too. But he's gonna destroy the Diluvius, woo! He
tells the group that it's time to go back to their world, since without Ragna's
power the warping power won't work. He'll then dissapear. So let's go to
the Stethelos!
Dune yells at Nemesis to get the hell out of here, and the group does so by
flying through the rapidly closing hole in the middle of the sea just in time.
They exit through the Diluvius, and Sireugh's shaking in her boots. The group
watches the Diluvius explode. Yaaaaaay
Volage decides it's time to put away the Stethelos, so the group heads over to
Viper by using Muon instead. The topic comes up of Jupiter, who Volage wants to
try and revive using the doctor at Viper, much like Dior (who needs treatment
too).
After some time passes, Sireugh and Dune share some words together. Before
long, the doctor shows up, and the operation went without a hitch. Jupiter
comes out, and he looks remarkably like human Dune, just with yellow hair and
some other stuff. When the group tells him Volage saved him, apparently
Jupiter says that Volage abandoned him when he was taken by Fenrir. More
strange things... But now he's all better. Jupiter will ask Dune for his name,
and then decide to name his kid that, too.
Quasar approaches the group and asks them what they'll do now. Dune wants to
head to the present (so that they don't run into themselves), but the
Stethelos's in no shape to do so. So he'll convice Quasar to build a time
machine (like the one they were sent to the present in in the first place).
Volage can help him out, despite his limited experience with time travel he
knows quite a bit. Quasar complies, in any case.
You can walk around now, but there's nothing to do but leave the building.
You'll find Dior and Nemesis outside, talking with Polnaref and Milfie.
They're really going to miss you guys when you go back to the present, but
that's no problem. The group decides to stay in Dharm while the time machine
is being built.
The party goes to New Dharm and approaches Melrose, asking him to put up the
four of them for some time. He has something to show the party, though; he's
build a brand new battle simulator! It's harder than before, so let's just
spend our days fighting forever and ever.
You don't actually fight anything though; various battle scenes will roll by as
the credits roll. That's it for SaGa 3! Yup. Nothing else to this game at all.
I'm serious. Once the credits finish, though, you'll be alerted to some new
things; you've unlocked New Game+ and Hard Mode! You can only access them with
a cleared save file on your current list of save files; once you load a clear
data file, you'll appear in front of Sol, not on a clear data file. So,
whatever you do, do not save over your new clear data file! Otherwise you'll
have to beat Ragna all over again to get the two unlockables back.
New Game+ cannot be played on Easy difficulty, for some reason. The gist of
this feature is to play the game over again... at the stats you had at the end
of the game. Yes, it is a boatload of fun. There's also some secrets involving
it... As for Hard Mode, it includes a myriad of new Hunts against tougher
variants of the bosses you've already fought, and everybody is a little
stronger at the same time. It's very rewarding to take it on, though!
Any game started on New Game+ counts as a clear file, so you can save it
without fear of losing that precious star. This also means you do not need to
go through all the way to the end if you want to import your stuff again. There
are some things you cannot keep on a New Game+, however:
-The race you were at. The four go back to their defaults.
-Any traits and abilities inherited from monsters.
-Key items, including Sacred Swords, the Aegis Shield, and the Remote Control.
-Any Stethelos parts. Gotta re-earn them.
-Your Future Point count.
-The stats of all fifth party members are reset, along with sparked techs.
...
...
...
...but...
...
...
...
...if you cleared the "Choices" sidequest...
...
...
...
...well... don't go ahead if you haven't!
...
...
...
...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5.72. ???
(Just as an aside, the three quests needed to unlock the "Choices" event which
allows you to unlock this secret part are "The Little Swordsman", "A Glimpse of
the Future", and "A Burden to Protect", and the latter two must be completed
WITHOUT using the Gears of Time. That will unlock "Choices", which you must then
complete to get this. No New Game+ or Hard Mode is necessary.)
Fast foward to the time machine being ready. Dune is ready to set off to the
Present with the rest of the party. While consoling Nemesis and Dior, who are
sad to see the party go, eventually Volage shows up, invited by Dune. As a
toke of gratitude, Dune wanted Volage to "enjoy some time travel". Dune also
hints at shipping Dior and Nemesis together. Aww.
At the time machine, which looks JUST LIKE THE STETHELOS' DECK, Dune and Volage
meet Sireugh and Milfie. Polnaref is out making sure the thing works right. The
party sets off for the Present, and heads into the dimensional rift. Dune is
left alone with Volage, and then the music cuts out...
Dune brings up a couple of points. Volage said the man that would be Dune's
father was controlling the Stethelos Mk II. But Dune wasn't born yet. Dune
never knew his own father, and nobody else did, almost like... that was Volage's
intention. Eventually Polnaref joins the conversation and asks why nobody
knew about the Gears of Time either. Milfie walks in and provies more info,
saying that if the Gears of Time were better known, Cronus and the others could
have had a headstart on the mission. The group all together comes to the
conclusion that the Wanderer who did know about the Gears of time had to be...
VOLAGE! And it's true!
There were inconsistencies between Jupiter and Volage's stories, so that's when
Dune began to suspect that Volage wasn't telling the truth. He has no special
powers outside the rift between dimensions, however. His reason for delaying
everybody was that Ragna would have been defeated too soon. Ragna's goal was to
merge with Sol to gain back the power he lost. Sol was after the same thing,
and both worlds would have morphed and changed if they had not both been
defeated at the same time. This is also the reason why the Past and Future
warps were set to very specific points.
Volage then reveals that the ultimate slowdown of the plan came from him killing
Jupiter himself, so that he could be trusted by Fenrir. But yeah, Dune's not
having any of this. The two sides are not so different, always playing with
other people's lives using either their own powers or the Gears of Time. All
Volage wanted was for the dimensional rift that gave him power to still exist.
At this point you're given the choice to fight Volage or not. I believe that
no matter what you pick, you do end up fighting him, since he'll be the one to
attack you instead.
So, choose to fight him, and Dune will say he doesn't HATE Volage, but being
so damn cocky and being able to get off almost scot-free isn't something Dune
likes. So... NOW IT'S TIME! Oh, and don't worry: your durability is at max.

SECRET BOSS BATTLE 1: Volage
Volage-Fire 23000 HP

Ancient Tome Weapon Resistant+
Eternal Tome Magic Resistant+
Haja Sword Combo Resistant
Black Tome Initiative
Empowerment Tome
Volage here is tougher than the final boss, of course, with how hard you had to
work to get here. He has physical attacks, magical attacks, the works. He also
has no weaknesses, so you're just going to have to fight him fairly.
Protection from elemental attacks, especially of the Black Tome he does have
and against his Gungnir which is Wind-elemental, can be extremely helpful.
Thankfully he doesn't seem to like to multitarget very often, but when he does,
it's elemental Flares. The big thing with this battle is that since you're
fighting Volage, he's not helping you out. So you should have somebody with
Flare, Raisera, and Cura(ga).

Once you've dealt enough damage to him, he'll shift into his true form. This
is the only monster in the game with double + resistances at all, so he'll not
be taking as much damage as you'd probably hope for. You'll be lucky to break
even 800. He can summon the Stethelos to attack the party, but that's mitigated
with high Magic. He can use the Future Drive to summon "Future Volage" or
"Future Wanderer", which are new targets for the party. Finally, he can use the
Present Drive to deal a decent amount of single-target damage. Future Volage
seems to simply act a more simple version of Volage, while Future Wanderer is
more fiery than him. If you do manage to defeat either of the Future targets,
Wanderer will just summon more, so try to focus your attacks on him with
residual Flares in the background. Keep yourself at Max HP most of the time
as well. Once you defeat Wanderer, his copies fall with him. He can summon
two at a time on Hard Mode.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Even though you've defeated him, Volage still seems to be sure of himself.
Dune is more ready than ever to be a good boy now, though. Wanderer will
disappear, waiting for the better world that Dune wants to create with action.
The party decides to return home now that everything's been taken care of.
Looks like we have a happy ending after all. And that's truly everything
in SaGa 3. Congratulations!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6. ENCYCLOPEDIA
Here's basically a compilation of the game's data in a texty format, for
quick reference and such.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6.1. EVENT NOTES
This is what you've all been waiting for, sorta. A list of Events and stuff,
what to do in them, and how to complete, unlock, and basically everything
you'd need to know. It also covers all of the password items and similar
related things.
Hunts that involve fighting a basic monster will ALWAYS result in fighting a
giant version of that monster, just so you know. Accompanying passwords will
be presented for Events that are unlocked by finding/entering it.
The most important and invisible aspect of Events are what are known as
Future Points (FP). You get them from completing Events, and some are
only unlocked after you get a sum of them. The game does not tell you how many
FP you have; the only indicator is the color of the round, central area of your
Gears of Time on the top screen. It starts off red and changes color as you get
more FP, in intervals of 90 each. The progression is as follows:
0 - Red
90 - Orange
180 - Yellow
270 - Green
360 - Sky Blue
450 - Dark Blue
540 - Purple
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6.1.1. THE DAILY CONSTITUTIONAL
SUMMARY:
Starts in Irem (past) by talking to woman NPC
Requires TP of 1 or 2
1 TP gives no reward [FP: 5]
2 TP gives Tomahawk [FP: 10]
DETAILS:
A woman in Irem in the past will give you this sidequest. She wants you to go
help her father. You need to talk to the man just east of her to find out
some info about his walk earlier. He tripped on a rock... apparently. (A kid
here in Irem by the inn will give you the Password for Gift: Item 1.)
From here, go to the highlands and find the "?" just ahead of the left exit.
The group will find the rock and talk about it, but be approached by a Fire
Lizard. You defeat the pair (simple) but will be faced with a decision
afterwards. This is the system for Events; you either choose to use the Gears
of Time, or solve the problem without it. The choice you make influences the
outcome, your prize (if any) and possibly future events. This scenario is
unique in that you must use the Gears of Time; you have the choice between
a two charge option or a one charge option.
If you use only one charge, you'll fight two Fire Lizards. That's it. Go back
to the man and he won't change his ways.
Using two charges will allow you to save the guy from the Fire Lizards. Sireugh
will convince him to stop taking his walks for the sake of his granddaughter.
He'll give you a Tomahawk back in the present Irem, which is somewhat advanced
for this point in the game. Enjoy it, but watch your Kero.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6.1.2. A LESSON IN SELF-RELIANCE
SUMMARY:
Starts in Irem (past) by talking to Cronus
(Unlocks South Tower (past))
Must decide whether to take Cronus or not
Taking him will net you a Magic Source
Later, requires TP of 0 or 2
0 TP gives Jukebox via Cronus in the present
2 TP gives Jukebox in present South Tower (if Cronus is with you)
(The conditions for getting FP vary depending on both choices. The best option
is to take Cronus with you and use the 2 charges on the gears of time. That
will net you 20 FP, the other choices give 5 or 10.)
DETAILS:
Once you beat Dogra and show the healthy Freyja to Grandma, Cronus (as a kid)
will be at the entrance of the big house in Irem. Talk to him and he'll show
you a Stethelos part or something. You'll need to take Cronus to Lei.
Once you're there, a small scene will play out. Talk to the item store owner,
the one that gave you the Flush-O-Matic, and you'll tell Cronus about it.
(If you didn't get the Flush-O-Matic yet, you'll get it now. Heh.) The
Sahuagin clerk will tell you about the South Tower, and you'll have a choice
to make. No Gears of Time, just two choices. The first one will let Cronus
come with you, and the other will leave him at Lei.
Picking either one will reveal the South Tower, not like you couldn't have
gone there before, but now you can explore it more. Head to it and you'll find
the first floor locked door has mysteriously opened.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SOUTH TOWER (past)
MONSTERS:
Controller
Fairy
Gazer
Hekatonkheires
Kaiser Ant
Nike
Stallion
EXCAVATION TREASURE:
None.
TREASURE:
None.
AREA NOTES:
It's South Tower, but different! Oooh! Go to the third floor and you'll find
a "?", which turns out to be an empty chest. NOW is the time to use the Gears
of Time, that is, if you care. The chest may have contained the Future Warp,
or some vital component... you'll need two charges.
Use the Gears of Time and you'll go back to when the chest wasn't opened, but
a monster will show up. Kill it, it's just a pair of werewolves. Without
Cronus, you'll head back to Lei offscreen, and show the broken part to Cronus
to end the sidequest.
If Cronus came with you and you use the Gears of Time, after killing the
werewolves you'll talk a bit and then go back to Irem. He'll give you a Magic
Source and that'll be the end of that. Unlike the other option, the chest will
not get opened and the part won't be revealed, so it has potential!
Not using it will just send you back to Lei/Irem without getting the part.
You'll clear the sidequest (and get the Magic Source if Cronus came with you)
in any event.
If you go back to South Tower in the present and open the chest from the second
scenario, you'll get the Jukebox! This part for the Stethelos will allow you
to perform a kind of sound test with the game's music. It's located in the
south area of the Stethelos. You can press X when you're selecting a song to
change between the Repeat, Shuffle, and Consecutive options for the songs.
The song will also play throughout the Stethelos, too, so awesome. Doing the
quest in a different way will have Cronus simply give you the Jukebox in the
Present once you return.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6.1.3. CAN'T TAKE IT BACK
SUMMARY:
Starts in Coastal Crossroads (past) by talking to man NPC
Requires TP of 0 or 1
0 TP gives Half-Eaten Meat [FP: 10]
1 TP gives Legendary Meat [FP: 5]
DETAILS:
There's one man by the south exit of the Coastal Crossroads that will want to
give you a quest. He got his Legendary Meat taken by a giant squid...
Once you talk to him, a "?" will appear by him for you to use your Gears of
Time on, or not. You only need one charge for this.
If you use the Gears of Time, you'll find the man being attacked by a Giant
Spear Squid. Kill it with little difficulty, and he'll give you Legendary Meat.
It's a reward for saving his life. This is the better choice of the two. The
item raises your STR and DEF like a source.
Not using it results in the Giant Spear Squid just sitting to the northeast of
where you are. Go and defeat it just the same and you'll get Half-Eaten Meat,
which isn't as good as the real thing. Talk to the man and show him, and he'll
be amazed, even though it's just half. All it does is fully heal you. You get
to keep it since he's such a nice guy~
Note that you get better FP by giving up the chance to get the Legendary Meat.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6.1.4. THE FOUNDER
SUMMARY:
Starts in Pilgrim's Path (past) by talking to Gil
Requires TP of 0 or 2
2 TP gives no reward [FP: 10]
0 TP upgrades Dharm Armor Shop [FP: 20]
DETAILS:
You'll find the Past Dharm Elder near the southeast corner of Pilgrim's Path.
Talk to him to start this sidequest after you've beaten Dogra. From there, go
to the Meadow (east exit) and you'll find a few monsters have settled into
the normally quiet area. But of course, we can't just kill them; we have to
make a Gears of Time choice!
Having two charges on the Gears of Time and using it will allow you to take
out the monsters as normal. Just engage them and beat them up. You can't scout
them, of course. Once you defeat them all, Gil (the elder) will show up. He
takes a liking to the Meadow, and this finishes the quest.
Not using the Gears of Time results in a similar situation; you still have to
fight them all. But once you're done, you'll have to report to Gil. The
quest is still not done. He'll ask you to head to Irem. Go and talk to Grandma,
and she'll give you another Muon spell, which Gil was looking for.
Show the "Past Muon" to Gil and he'll have another task for you. You'll be
instructed to head to North Tower. This is to complete the timeline by
putting Muon in the chest where you found it in the first place. North Tower
has nothing new, so just run to the fourth floor and put Muon inside.
You'll find Gil back at the Meadow. Talk to him to finally finish this
alternative sidequest. If you do it this way, the Armor Store at Dharm in the
present will sell new equipment!
DHARM ARMOR SHOP:
Shield-Gold Shield
Helmet-Gold Helmet
Body-Gold Mail
Glove-Gold Gauntlets
Glove-Mythril Bangle
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6.1.5. THE LAST ONE'S SPELL [8ou1tx]
This is a password Event, and must be activated as such.
The password can be obtained from "Hunt: Hasid Pass".
SUMMARY:
Starts in Mu (past) by talking to Man NPC
Requires 0 or 3 TP
0 TP causes Warding Charms to go on sale [FP: 10]
3 TP gives no reward [FP: 5]
DETAILS:
A man in Past Mu, at the section south of the armor shop, will give this quest
to you. Once you talk to him, a "?" will appear just north of you. Milfie
appears to be the only one that wants to help. Three charges are needed for
the Gears of Time at this particular instance.
Use the Gears and Milfie will talk to the charm seller, and she will buy her
out so that the man won't have to worry about buying any anymore. Talk to the
man again and he won't get any, clearing the sidequest without much pleasure.
If you don't use the Gears, you'll have to talk to the salesman yourself.
This salesman will trade you what you want for 3 Red Feathers, which you can
get by defeating Hell Condors in the Irem Heights.
Once you get them, talk to her again and Warding Charms will go on permenant
sale, which you should tell the man about. This clears the sidequest as well,
but in either case you don't get much of a reward. All Warding Charms do are
protect you from stat lowering.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6.1.6. SAVING SEED
SUMMARY:
Starts in Fertile Hollow (past) by planting Seed of Ephraim
Requires 0 or 3 TP
0 TP gives Magic Source [FP: 10] Unlocks "Salt in the Wound"
3 TP gives no reward [FP: 5]
DETAILS:
This is optional to the story, like in the original version. If you don't help
out the tree, simply examine the Fertile Hollow's soil in the future to
unlock the path to New Dharm.
Anyway, you plant the Seed of Ephraim at the Fertile Hollow and find that it
hasn't yet grown in the Present. In the past, you'll find a "?" that you'll
need three charges to use if you're talkin' Gears of Time.
Use it and you'll fight a Giant Caterpillar. The tree will be able to grow in
the future once you defeat it. There is no reward for doing it this way.
Don't use it and Sireugh will discover she was standing on the seed the whole
time. The party takes precautions so nothing happens again. Talk to the tree
in the present and it will give you a Magic Source. Better option here. Also,
you will unlock the second sidequest relating to the Tree of Ephraim if you
choose this option, "Salt in the Wound".
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6.1.7. LOST IN SHIPPING
70 Future Points are needed to start this sidequest.
SUMMARY:
Starts in Irem (present) by talking to weapon salesman
Requires 0 or 1 TP
0 TP gives no reward [FP: 5]
1 TP upgrades Irem and Dharm Weapon Shops [FP: 10]
DETAILS:
The weapon salesman in Present Irem will give you this sidequest. Go to the
Irem Heights and find the "?" right by the west exit. Once you approach it,
you'll find there's a Giant Acid Gel holding a chest inside of it. You'll have
to make a decision, though. Just one charge is needed for the Gears of Time.
Using the Gears of Time leads you to a time when the chest was not yet inside
of the Acid Gel. You'll then fight the Giant Acid Gel, which should go down
simply. Inside the chest are the "Recovered Weapons". Bring them to their
intended recipient, the weapon salesman in Dharm. After doing this, Dharm
and Irem's weapon stores sell better items!
IREM WEAPON SHOP:
Sword-Icebrand
Katana-Qing Long Dao
Greatsword-Bastard Sword
Greatsword-Ogre Killer
Blade-Saber
Spear-Brionac
DHARM WEAPON SHOP:
Sword-Flame Sword
Blade-Rapier
Axe-Battle Axe
Jutsu-Kick
Bow-Mythril Bow
Gun-Arquebus
But of course, I'm obligated to tell you what happens for the other choice.
Well, you'll fight the Gel with the chest still inside of it. You'll get some
"Melted Weapons", so it's not too good... return to Dharm and give it to the
guy anyway, and you'll clear the sidequest without any upgrades. So don't do
that.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6.1.8. THE CAPTAIN'S LAMENT
80 Future Points are needed to start this sidequest.
SUMMARY:
Starts in Dharm Old Road (present)
(Unlocks The Black Diamond (present))
Requires 0 or 1 TP
0 TP gives Knight's Medal [FP: 10]
1 TP gives no reward [FP: 5]
DETAILS:
Talk to the man at the east exit of Dharm Old Road. He'll open the way to The
Black Diamond, which you need to enter for this sidequest.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE BLACK DIAMOND (present)
MONSTERS:
Fairy
Fishman
Gazer
Killer Butterfly
Sannakji
Sequoia
War Pig
EXCAVATION TREASURE:
Gloves-Mobius Glove
Item-Elixir
There's a spot at the northwest corner that contains a Mobius Glove, amazingly
enough. Another spot is in the center room in the bottom area, and that has an
Elixir.
TREASURE:
Item-Cloud Crystal
Item-6k Gold Nugget
Item-Earth Stone
AREA NOTES:
Your destination is the first door on the bottom part, but don't be in such
a rush. The farthest room has a chest with a Cloud Crystal. At the north end,
the western alcove has a chest with a 6k Gold Nugget. Finally, at the top room
you get an Earth Stone.
In the room you need to go, you'll find what looks like a normal Red Bone. The
group talks with it at length, about his past and his medal. You will eventually
get the option to use the Gears of Time. If you do, the party will teleport,
finding themselves in a battle with a Blood Ray to recover his medal. It goes
down easy. The situation ends from there with little reward.
Choosing not to use the Gears of Time will result in the party attempting to
leave after talking about his pride. However, the Red Bone stops you and
attacks, angry that you've "insulted" him!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOSS BATTLE: Captain
Captain-Dark 1200 HP
STR 25 AGI 21
MAG 23 DEF 18
Abilities: Traits:
Punch Sleep Immune
Poison Needle Wind Vulnerable
Storm Stealth
The Captain is not that tough; he's weak to wind and won't do much to
hurt you. But it does depend on when you decide to do this sidequest...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Once you defeat the Captain, he'll give you the Knight's Medal, which decreases
damage from Combos. He will also attempt to pass on to the other side, but
seems to be trapped. Talk to him again and he leaves. This is the right way to
clear the sidequest, I believe.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6.1.9. THE LITTLE SWORDSMAN
THIS SIDEQUEST IS ONE OF THREE THAT MUST BE DONE TO UNLOCK A VERY SPECIAL
ADDITION TO THE ENDING.
100 Future Points are needed to start this sidequest.
SUMMARY:
Starts in Dharm by talking to Melrose
Requires 1 TP (no alternative)
Gives Psycho Sword [FP: 20]
DETAILS:
After finishing up in the past, return to Dharm and talk to Melrose once.
This starts the sidequest. Once you talk with Melrose, talk to young Dior
by the slide. He'll run off. (The kid by Dior also gives you a password, Gift:
Item 2.)
Next, talk to young Nemesis in the square. She will also run off. Report back to
Melrose, and from there talk to the guy standing dead center in the square.
Attempt to leave Dharm, and you're approached by another man. He'll tell you
that he saw Dior at Dharm Old Road, undertaking a dangerous hunt.
It's at this point that you have to use the Gears of Time, just one charge is
needed. There is no alternative to it this time around.
When you use them, the party goes to Dharm Old Road and finds Dior confronting
a Fire Lizard. You give him a Longsword and let him attack the monster, which
he defeats. Go back to Dharm and talk to Melrose. He'll give you a Psycho
Sword. And that's all she wrote.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6.1.10. A LESSON IN TRUST
This sidequest can only be done on New Game+.
You must have cleared "The Little Swordsman" to start this quest.
SUMMARY:
Starts in Dharm by talking to Melrose
Requires 0 or 1 TP
0 TP gives no reward (Melrose drops a Mythril Bow) [FP: 20]
1 TP gives no reward [FP: 10]
DETAILS:
Finish up the quest just before this one and exit Melrose's house, then reenter
for him to give you this sidequest. He seems a bit down when you talk to him.
The Battle Trainer is a bit broken. He was trying to upgrade it. Once he's
done talking to Dune, go out and find the "?" in the square. It's a pretty
standard decision. One TP is needed to use the Gears this time.
Use the Gears, and you'll go back a bit. Nemesis will go into Melrose's house,
and go to his bed, and try to use a hair dryer near it. The party stops her
midaction, because that would fry the circuits. That's why the Trainer stopped
working. They talk for some time and she leaves. Now, the party returns to the
present. Talk to Melrose to finish the sidequest.
If you don't use the gears, simply go back and talk to Melrose. The group will
offer to fight him to show him that the Battle Trainer is not the only way
to get in shape, and it being broken doesn't make a difference. So...!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOSS BATTLE: Melrose
Melrose-Fire 1140 HP
STR 30 AGI 30
MAG 30 DEF 30
Drops: Mythril Bow
Abilities: Traits:
Battle Axe None.
Long Sword
Bastard Sword
Fire Tome
Recovery Tome
Yeah... he's not too hard. Use whatever you have and he'll go down.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The group will talk with Melrose a bit more, and then the party leaves. This
finishes the sidequest as well.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6.1.11. ASHURA'S LEGACY
110 Future Points are needed to start this sidequest.
SUMMARY:
Starts in Coastal Crossroads (present) by talking to man NPC
Requires 0 or -1 TP
0 TP gives no reward [FP: 10]
-1 TP gives Vajra [FP: 5]
DETAILS:
A man by the south exit of the Coastal Crossroads in the present will give you
this sidequest. You'll have to return to South Tower at his request. At the
apex, you'll find a big enemy by the locked door. Guess who! Ashura! However,
he's looking a little transparent. He'll be scared of some Dullahanmonster who
uses some spell to remove the ghastly Ashura. It wants to confront you now.
This is your chance to make a decision, which you'll need a single negative
point on your Gears of Time to do.
Not using the Gears will result in you fighting a Giant Dullahan pair. Defeating
them clears the sidequest... I guess. But that's no fun.
Use the negative Gears and you'll intercept the past Dullahan and Ghost Ashura.
The Dullahan pair will fight you like the last choice, but Ashura is still there
so we'd better do something about him too.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOSS BATTLE: Ashura Ghost
Ashura Ghost-Neutral 3300 HP
STR 37 AGI 25
MAG 30 DEF 23
Abilities: Traits:
Punch All Status Immune
Gaze Weapon Immune
Vajra Fire Resistant
Fire Fire Boost
Magic Vulnerable
This battle can be easy or hard depending on when you do the sidequest. The
strategy, just by looking at his stats is to pelt him with non-Fire magic.
That should eliminate him quickly. He is actually IMMUNE to physical attacks,
so if you want to train and maybe gain some proficiency, now's the time. This
is actually a pretty awesome opportunity.
He'll drop 10800 Kero when you defeat him.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Once you defeat the ghost, you'll return to the present. You'll also be able to
go into the locked door. Inside is a single chest with the Vajra axe. That's
it for this interesting sidequest. But if you want more FP you'll have to skip
out on the battle.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6.1.12. THE EXCAVATION EXPERT [84o45p]
This is a password Event, and must be obtained as such.
This password cannot be obtained ingame.
SUMMARY:
Starts in Coastal Crossroads (present) by talking to man NPC
Plant Rapier, find it yourself
Plant Bastard Sword, find it yourself
Plant Katana, find it yourself [FP: 10]
Let him find the things you buried [FP: 5]
DETAILS:
This sidequest starts in a prime location for sidequests, the Coastal Crossroads
in the present. The guy you're looking for is in the bottom left corner of the
area. Talk to him, and he wants a Rapier. You can buy one at Dharm. Then, warp
to the past and find the area where the man would be. A "?" will be there, and
you'll be asked to bury the Rapier there. Do so, and go back to the present.
(If you do not have the Excavator yet, you won't be able to get the best
rewards from this quest.)
Talk to the guy, and you'll be presented with a choice. You can find the Rapier
yourself, or tell him where it is. Choose the first option, and you'll get
the Rapier from a new excavation spot that just appears out of the blue. Dig
it up and you'll get Excavation Map 1 from the man. He'll meet you at the
Pilgrim's Path. But before you go, the map lets you find a new spot at the top
right of the area with a Water Stone.
He'll once again be in the same corner. Talk to him and he'll tell you about a
Bastard Sword. You'll have to buy it at Irem. Follow the same method you did
with the Rapier and plant the sword in Past Pilgrim's Path. Then go back and
dig up the Bastard Sword just like before and you'll get Excavation Map 2.
This reveals a spot just around the east bend from the south exit, and it has
a Glass Sword, which is pretty advanced... Head to the Irem Heights to meet
the guy one last time.
You'll find him just ahead of the east exit. This time he's looking for a
Katana. Buy one at Irem in the past and bury it as per usual. Follow the same
method once more, and he'll give you the final map, revealing a spot just to
the southeast. It has a Protect Crystal. This quest is now over.
If you don't decide to excavate the stuff, you won't get the Excavation Maps.
And that's no good.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6.1.13. SALT IN THE WOUND
You must have cleared "Saving Seed" to do this quest, without TP.
You must have the Stethelos MK II to start this quest.
180 Future Points are needed to start this quest.
SUMMARY:
Starts in Fertile Hollow (future) by talking to Tree of Ephraim
(Unlocks RMS Colossus)
Requires 0 or 5 TP
0 TP gives Yggdrasil Charm (R.M.S. Colossus gets blocked off) [FP: 10]
5 TP gives Yggdrasil Armor [FP: 5]
DETAILS:
Talk to the Tree of Ephraim in the Fertile Hollow and he'll ask you to go to
a newly marked area. It's yet another Sunken Ship.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RMS COLOSSUS
MONSTERS:
Adamantoise
Bloodsucker
Sea Bishop
Treant
EXCAVATION TREASURE:
Password-Gift: Item 31
One spot is just by the north room. It has a password.
TREASURE:
Body-Cyber Suit
Blade-Lightsaber
Item-Wind Stone
AREA NOTES:
If you've been to the Forgotten Wreck, it's exactly the same in layout. Go to
the north area for a chest with a Cyber Suit. In the cargo hold (the center
room) you'll find two other chests. They have a Lightsaber and Wind Stone.
Also in here is your mark, a regular Giant Octopus. It seems it can't be
beaten. After four turns, the battle will cut out and the ship will begin to
shake. The group decides to tell the Tree of Ephraim about this. You won't be
allowed back into the ship until you go talk to it. There's no other treasure,
so rest easy.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Once you've talked to the tree, it seems your only option is to use the
Gears of Time. But how? Well, you can either choose not to use it or choose
to use it, plain as day, with the "?" right by the tree. You'll need 5 points
total to use it in this case, though.
Choosing to use it will lead you back to the ship, where you will have another
round with the Octopus. This time it is possible to beat, though. The ship
will shake, but only a little. When you return to the Tree of Ephraim, it will
give you Yggdrasil Armor as your reward. It's not a bad reward!
Choosing not to use the Gears of Time won't do anything until you talk to
the Tree of Ephraim again. It will give you a Yggdrasil Charm, which resists
Dark. It doesn't seem as good a reward as the armor, though. You can avoid the
fight this way. You won't be able to return to the ship, unlike the Gears of
Time option, either. Despite this, it's what the tree wants, so it's the
better option.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6.1.14. A GLIMPSE OF THE FUTURE
THIS SIDEQUEST IS ONE OF THREE THAT MUST BE DONE IN A SPECIFIC WAY TO UNLOCK
A VERY SPECIAL ADDITION TO THE ENDING. NO GEARS OF TIME!
This Quest can only be done before entering the Floatland!
140 Future Points are needed to start this sidequest.
SUMMARY:
Starts in Dharm by talking to Dior
Ends up in the Shrine
Requires 0 or 2 TP
2 TP gives no reward [FP: 10]
0 TP helps unlock true ending [FP: 20]
DETAILS:
Once you have the requirements set up, head back to Present Dharm and talk to
Dior in Gil's house. He had an awful fight with Nemesis. He'll even flashback.
Dior and Nemesis are left alone by Gil while he attends a meeting. Dior begins
shooting insults, and "Nemmy" retaliates by stating Dune is her inspiration
for everything she does. Dior scares her with the "fact" that the party will
remain in the future when they're done saving it. Dumb, dumb, dumb Nemmy!
Dune takes Nemesis' side in the argument, obviously. You have to ask around to
find where she is. Continue the quest by going to the cafe and talking to the
owner. She's been buying sandwiches, apparently. There's no inkling of where
she could have gone, though. Go back to Gil's house and talk to him.
Gil has no idea what Nemesis has been doing. What a bad girl...? Suddenly, he
realizes, the Shrine! He reveals that he told Nemesis about the Stethelos
and reasons she must have gone there.
Go down to the Stethelos and you'll find Nemesis inside. She wanted to go with
you to the future! Aww. And she bought the sandwiches so nobody would be
hungry! Double aww. The group tries to bring her back to town, but Polnaref
makes a bad choice of words. She believed Dior's words very heartily. She runs
off to the Capsule Room of the Stethelos. Catch her there, and then catch her
again at the Sages' Cabin. From there, talk to her at the Hangar. All three of
Dune's friends are having a lot of trouble convincing her...
Finally she'll be at the cockpit. She decides she wants to try and break the
Stethelos so you can't go to the future! And she does this by punching the
controls. This actually activates the Stethelos and it begins to shake and
convulse... The party is knocked out. Nemesis tries to go get Gil to help, but
when she walks out of the Shrine, she realizes... this is the future.
Of course, since Dune's knocked out, this is the perfect time to talk to
Wanderer. He tells Dune what just happened. He also suggests that it would be
better if Nemesis hadn't seen this future... is he insinuating something? Yes,
he's suggesting Dune use the Gears of Time. It seems he cares about Nemesis
despite being some sort of demigod who knows everything.
Dune wakes up, and soon Polnaref comes back with news that Nemesis isn't in the
Stethelos. Dune tells them that she left the shrine. Wanderer helped out.
Now, you have the chance to use the gears. It's a long scene, so I hope you
saved beforehand if you want to see both outcomes.
If you use the Gears, you'll go back to the Stethelos' entrance in the shrine
and wait for Nemesis to come out. You intend on stopping her from seeing the
future. When she comes out, she begins crying tears of joy. Dune is okay~
The party goes back to Dharm in the present, and that's that.
But, if you don't use the Gears... the party goes out and sees Nemesis at a
"Barren Coast". She's traumatized. Dune can't tell her everything about the
future, though. However, what he does say convinces her that she should help
in any way she can, so she doesn't have to live in such a future. The party
brings her back to Present Dharm offscreen. She promises to keep it a secret.
*NOT USING THE GEARS OF TIME* is the better option here.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6.1.15. A BURDEN TO PROTECT
THIS SIDEQUEST IS ONE OF THREE THAT MUST BE DONE IN A SPECIFIC WAY TO UNLOCK
A VERY SPECIAL ADDITION TO THE ENDING. NO GEARS OF TIME!
170 Future Points are needed to start this sidequest.
You must have completed "The Little Swordsman" to start this sidequest.
SUMMARY:
Starts in New Dharm by talking to Freyja
Continues in Present Dharm, Irem, and areas south
Requires 0 or 3 TP
3 TP gives no reward [FP: 10]
0 TP helps unlock true ending [FP: 20]
DETAILS:
You start it by talking to Freyja in the future, located in New Dharm's base,
westernmost room. Continue the quest by going to Melrose, also in the base,
and talking to him. And then you must go to the Present.
Talk to young Nemesis in the square at Dharm. Eventually Dior will join the
conversation, all about Freyja. She's afraid of going outside. Once you're done,
talk to her in the Elder's house. You'll offer to take her to Irem to talk to
Grandma. (She joins your party to do so. What a nice touch!)
You'll have to walk to Irem, as going in the Stethelos would risk Freyja being
seen by people from the future. Once you're there, her and Dior talk with
Dune and Sireugh, and then go off on their own. Talk to Grandma, who is in
Cronus' house. She seems a bit depressed, and doesn't think the problem with
Freyja is reasonable, because she is actually outgoing? After that, Grandma is
told that the children were stolen by monsters! Deja vu, huh? However, like
the Past Grandma, she is unable to go, and must send you. Irem Pass in the
present will be marked on your map if you haven't been there already.
When you leave the house, you see Freyja. She wants to join you to help
Dior. And she does, despite trying to be convinced otherwise by Milfie.
(Irem Pass in this time is the only place you can find Knife Fish, which
have the ability Weapon Boost. The two chests there contain a Fire Tome and
Gift: Item 41.)
Head to the Irem Pass, and go through just as you did in the Past. At
the south exit you'll find a large worm. It attacks the party, of course. It
is not difficult. But it seems Dior is nowhere to be found... well, that means
it's Gears of Time time! You'll need 3 charges to use it.
Choosing not to use it will result in the party leaving. Freyja is a bit sad
over the decision, though. From here, go into the Mountain Cave and find your
way to the third floor, where you want to go into the room opposite where Dogra
would have been. There you'll find ol' Dior, being strangled by another Giant
Land Worm. Freyja gets insulted by Dior, saying all she is is a burden, but
that only motivates her to retaliate and kill the worm. She's no burden!
(The chest behind the worm contains some Diamond Mail if you come back.)
Defeat the worm, and you'll automatically be brought to Dharm. Freyja and Dior
will be together and argue more. Now return to the future and go to New Dharm.
Talk to grown-up Freyja and she'll thank you, ending the sidequest.
Deciding to use the Gears of Time will bring you back to where Dior was
confronted with the first worm. You'll help him fend it off. The group returns
to Dharm, where you see Freyja and Dior together. Go back to the future, and
talk to Freyja. It's over, then. *NOT USING THE GEARS OF TIME* seems like the
right choice, despite the lack of reward either which way.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6.1.16. THE MISSING RING [85ckz1]
This is a password Event, and must be activated as such.
The password can be obtained from "Hunt: Forgotten Wreck".
SUMMARY:
Starts in New Dharm by talking to man NPC
Requires 0 or 1 TP
0 TP gives no reward [FP: 5]
1 TP gives Defense Source [FP: 10]
DETAILS:
Once you're able to start this quest you'll find a man outside the cafe to the
left. Talk to him, of course. Leave the town and you'll find a "?" in the
graveyard's east side. Polnaref will find the ring in a bird dropping on the
ground, and wants to just polish it. Sireugh, however, wants to try something
different. In any case, it's Gears time. You'll need a single point.
If you don't use the Gears, well... you'll pick up the Wedding Ring. That was
easy. Deliver it to the man, and, uhh, he'll scream in terror, leave, and the
quest will be done. Not very well.
Use them and you'll meet a big bird. The party tries to casually walk away (hah)
but Sireugh stops them. Beat up the Simurgh and you'll get the Wedding Ring.
Go back to the man and he'll be happy enough to give you a Defense Source for
your trouble. That's the way to go!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6.1.17. WINNERS AND LOSERS [9zf2p9]
This is a password Event, and must be activated as such.
The password can be obtained from "Hunt: The Empty Wastes".
SUMMARY:
Starts in New Dharm by talking to man NPC
Branches off many times from deciding one choice or another choice.
First, choose first choice
Second, choose first choice
In New Dharm choose second choice
Requires -2 TP, gives Elixir [FP: 15]
DETAILS:
The guy to start this quest is in the cafe. Strike up a chat. From there, head
to Dharm in the Present. Talk to the guy in the exact same position as the
one in the future and you'll have to make an unavoidable choice. You're intended
to choose the first one. From there, choose the first choice again, and then go
back to New Dharm.
Talk to the man again, and this time choose the second option. Now you'll need
to go to Irem way in the past! Go to its Inn and talk with the owner. Soon
you'll be interrupted by a man and his lady. Your destination now is the
Mountain Cave. There will be a "?" in the Southwest corner. However, this is a
negative Gears of Time choice. If you do not use the Gears, you will not get
the satisfactory ending you want, so have the Future Drive. You'll need -2.
The "?" will be an opened chest. Use your negative gears and you'll go back to
the chest being closed, and open it. But you'll be attacked by a big, bad,
Triceratops. Beat it up and once the scene ends, go back to New Dharm, talk to
the guy, and finish this sidequest properly. You'll get an Elixir. Choosing any
of the bad choices will leave you rewardless.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6.1.18. SMASH AND GRAB [j0erp9]
This is a password Event, and must be activated as such.
The password cannot be obtained ingame.
SUMMARY:
Starts in North Tower 2F (future) by talking to man NPC
Requires 0 or 1 TP
0 TP gives no reward [FP: 5]
1 TP gives 21k Gold Nugget [FP: 10]
DETAILS:
Once you enter the password you'll be able to do something about the rock you
may or may not have seen here in North Tower, in the bottom left section of
the second floor. Talk to the man that appears in front of it, who is distraught
over the boulder. A "?" will appear behind him afterwards. You'll need 1 charge
to use the Gears for this one, and it's the better option.
Well, in any case, if you don't use the Gears, you'll go to the man and the rock
will begin to shake... it was a Rock! You know, the monster? Defeat it easily
and you'll be able to see a chest behind it, which the man rushes to open.
He then runs away without so much as a goodbye.
Use the gears to go back to before the man got there. The rock will reveal
itself to be a Rock again, and the party will defeat it in the same manner.
You go back to the present and the chest will once again be opened... but not
empty! From the false bottom, you'll get a 21k Gold Nugget. Yay!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6.1.19. AN OUNCE OF PREVENTION
190 Future Points are needed to start this quest.
SUMMARY:
Starts in Mu (future) by talking to Man NPC
Branches off from deciding one choice or another choice
First leads to 4 TP and Orichalcum Spear [FP: 10]
Second leads to 0 TP and unlocks SS Neptune (present) [FP: 5]
DETAILS:
There's a lone human in Future Mu you can talk to after some point. He's by the
Magic Shop. Talk to him and a "?" will appear near the center of the town.
This quest seems to revolve around a "Sahuavirus". You'll have two non
Gears choices to make, and you have no way to opt out, so save beforehand.
If you choose the first option, your mission will be to go to Irem Heights
way in the past. I don't know HOW you're supposed to know this. But anyway,
you'll find a "?" by the northern exit. Approach it and use your Gears of Time
(4 charges needed) to accelerate time. You'll meet up with one heck of a
Sahuagin!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOSS BATTLE: King Sahuagin
King Sahuagin-Neutral 2000 HP (actually 6000 HP)
STR 27 AGI 25
MAG 35 DEF 21
Drops: Orichalcum Spear
Abilities: Traits:
Claw All Status Immune
Wind Fire Vulnerable
Psycho Blast Water Resistant
Charge
Though it says he has 2000 HP, he definitely has 6000 HP instead. But this is
pretty much like the first boss in the game, just a little tougher. Like before
the monster is weak to Fire. Slam it with that and some strong physical attacks
and you shouldn't have too much trouble.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Once you defeat it, you get an Orichalcum Spear. This will end this nice little
Event. To see the fruits of your labor, head back to Mu in the Future and
all the people will be human! So will the infected in Lei with this choice.
Choosing not to use the Gears of Time will lead you to decide to head to the SS
NEPTUNE. But the one you can see outside won't be any help, of course not!
You have to time travel a bit and find the ship in the Present.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SS NEPTUNE (present)
MONSTERS:
Fairy
Fishman
Gazer
Hell Wisp
Sannakji
War Pig
EXCAVATION TREASURE:
Item-Protect Crystal
Item-Wind Stone
Item-Cloud Crystal
There are two spots, one at the farthest end of the south area, and another at
the top right corner. They have a Protect Crystal and Wind Stone respectively.
In the southmost room is another spot with a Cloud Crystal.
TREASURE:
Item-Earth Stone
Item-Grenade
Item-Potion
AREA NOTES:
A pretty standard ship. Head to the north room to find a chest with an Earth
Stone. In this room is also a fixed giant Sannakji, if you ever need some
handy Super Meat. On the way is the cargo hold, which holds two chests. They
contain a Grenade and Potion. However, your true destination is the south end.
Examine the "?" there and a Sahuagin trio will run in and fight you. They're
pretty easy, since they're in a group to be multitargeted in. Once you win
they run off and you'll clear the sidequest, but without helping Lei.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6.1.20. MEANT TO BE
180 Future Points are needed to start this quest.
SUMMARY:
Starts in Coastal Crossroads (present) by talking to Pulsar
Requires 0 or -2 TP
-2 TP gives no reward [FP: 10]
0 TP unlocks SS Dandy Auroria (all time periods) [FP: 20]
DETAILS:
To start this quest, head for the Coastal Crossroads in the Present. Just by
the east exit will be a scientist guy... it's Pulsar? But it is before he got
more famous. You'll talk for a bit before a woman comes walking along whose
name is apparently Elaine. He's very nervous around her. Once she leaves, you
and Pulsar talk for a bit more.
Approach the "?" right by him and you'll have another choice to make. But to
use the Gears of Time, you will need "-2" points. To achieve this, use the
Gears of Time after obtaining the Future Drive and wait until it goes past
zero into the negatives. However, it's not the best option for this quest
anyway, and here's why.
Using the negatively powered Gears of Time, the party will talk for a bit until
Pulsar approaches them (having just got there). He'll give the group a long
lecture, and the party will return to the present. Talk to Pulsar again and you
clear the sidequest by preventing his and Elaine's first meeting. But that's
not the best way to go about it.
Don't use the Gears, however, and the party will talk a bit. Return to Pulsar,
and he'll tell you she wants a memento. He'll mark the SS Dandy Auroria you
need to go to on your map to get it.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SS DANDY AURORIA (present)
MONSTERS:
Fairy
Fishman
Killer Butterfly
Lizard Knight
Sannakji
War Pig
EXCAVATION TREASURE:
Password-Gift: Item 29
There's one spot in the south room. It has another password.
TREASURE:
Item-3k Gold Nugget
Item-Elixir
AREA NOTES:
There are two chests in the Cargo Hold (the midway room) with a 3k Gold Nugget
and Elixir inside. There's nothing in the north room, so head to the south and
the spot you're looking for is just past the passage on the western part of
the "forked" area. Nothing seems to happen when you touch it, and it goes
away... What to do now? Well, since we can't go into that room, we'll have to
see if there's an alternative... elsewhere.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SS DANDY AURORIA (past)
MONSTERS:
Cannon
Duke
Earthworm
Gargoyle
Nike
Nymph
Sea Monster
Skeleton
Violent Ray
Will-o-Wisp
EXCAVATION TREASURE:
Helmet-Genji Helmet
A Genji Helmet is in the bow of the ship, to the south. Pretty good!
TREASURE:
Item-Dynamite
Item-Strength Source
Item-Haste Crystal
Item-Water Stone
Key Item-Parent's Mementos
AREA NOTES:
There are two chests in the main area; Dynamite and a Strength Source. The top
room has a Haste Crystal. From there, head to the back to get a few items.
There's one in each room! A Water Stone, excavation spot, and what we're
looking for, the Parents' Mementos.
Bring the Mementos back to Pulsar and he'll thank you and leave. Talk to him
again in the future to find that Elaine has taken up residence with him in the
S.H.L.T.R! How sweet. That's it for this sidequest. However, you CAN explore
the SS Dandy Auroria in the future too! Yeah! Only mining spots there, though.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SS DANDY AURORIA (future)
MONSTERS:
Adamantoise
Bloodsucker
Fossil Dragon
Wolfman
EXCAVATION TREASURE:
Boots-Cyber Boots
Magic-Revival Tome
The Cyber Boots are at the top of the hull, while the Revival Tome is in the
farthest room at the south end.
TREASURE:
None.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6.1.21. LET THE HUNT BEGIN
200 Future Points are needed to start this sidequest.
SUMMARY:
Starts in S.H.L.T.R by talking to Pulsar
(Unlocks Forgotten Wreck)
Stethelos "powered up" [FP: 10]
DETAILS:
Talk to Pulsar in the S.H.L.T.R after getting the Remote Control upgraded to be
a weapon. He'll direct you to a new area that you weren't able to go to before,
the Forgotten Wreck.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FORGOTTEN WRECK
MONSTERS:
Adamantoise
Bloodsucker
Fossil Dragon
Nightmare
Land Worm
Treant
Wolfman
EXCAVATION TREASURE:
Item-12k Gold Nugget
Password-Gift: Item 33
Password-Gift: Item 30
Item-Elixir
There's one spot just to your right upon entering with 12k Gold Nugget. Another
is in the top right corner with an item password. Yet another is in the room
on the way to the Password spot to the side, and that has yet another password!
After beating the Shockenaw 2, behind it is a spot with an Elixir.
TREASURE:
None.
AREA NOTES:
There isn't any treasure here, besides excavating. When you're done with that,
head to the southern room where you'll find a nice tank. Avoid battles on the
way there in order to engage it.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOSS BATTLE: Shockenaw 2
Shockenaw 2-Neutral 445 HP
STR 27 AGI 27
MAG 0 DEF 27
Drops: Salve
Abilities: Traits:
Artillery Cannon Weapon Resistant
Tackle Earth Vulnerable
Fire Resistant
If you've been training at all, this should be no trouble at all. It's weak
to Earth, if you really need that extra boost. It'll drop 821 Kero and a
Salve, perhaps.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Once you beat it, you capture the monster. Don't forget the excavation
spot in this room and head for the S.H.L.T.R.
If you fight two or more battles while in this area, the Shockenaw 2 will run
away and you'll be given the option to use the Gears of Time. If you spend
2 points, you can find the Shockenaw 2 there AND some extra treasure once
you've defeated it: an Earth Stone, Beret, and Bazooka.
Give the tank to Pulsar and he'll do some tinkering. But he's not done with you
yet. Check the next scenario for the continuation.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6.1.22. THE HUNT CONTINUES
You must have completed the quest just above this one to start this.
SUMMARY:
Starts in S.H.L.T.R by talking to Pulsar
Gives Long Range Laser to Stethelos Armaments [FP: 10]
(I'm unsure about the FP gain, but doing it completely correctly should
grant you 10. I think you get less FP if you only bring one monster back,
somehow. Like you'd ever do that!)
DETAILS:
As soon as you clear the last one, Pulsar will ask you to head to Viper City.
(While you're there, talk to the old lady in the first area for Gift: Item 5.)
Talk to the man at the entrance and he'll direct you to the Fertile Hollow,
where you'll find a Giant Hermit. But it's not an ordinary Giant Hermit.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOSS BATTLE: Great Hermit
Great Hermit-Neutral 327 HP
STR 23 AGI 17
MAG 30 DEF 28
Drops: Salve
Abilities: Traits:
Beak Earth Resistant
Fire Water Vulnerable
Recovery Silence Immune
Esuna
Even weaker than the Shockenaw 2. Beat it up. It's weak to water, if you need
any help.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Once you've killed it, there is another monster you need to look for. Talking
to Cronus, who Pulsar also asked you to find, will reveal a monster at the
Deep-Sea Trench. It's a nice, blue, dragon.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOSS BATTLE: Deep Dragon
Deep Dragon-Fire 552 HP
STR 31 AGI 31
MAG 31 DEF 31
Drops: Potion
Abilities: Traits:
Claw Water Resistant
Black Fang Fire Vulnerable
Strangle Healing Boost
Ice
Easy. Like the other monsters you've been fighting, it has a weakness; Fire.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now is the time to head back to the S.H.L.T.R. The party brings him into the
Stethelos, where he gets right to work. For doing this, you get the Long Range
Laser added to your Stethelos Weapons, usable through the Remote. It will
reduce the HP of monsters not inbattle during a Chain Attack by a certain %
as it increases in power.
(A password is also available from the pointy-eared woman in the S.H.L.T.R. It's
Gift: Item 6.)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6.1.23. THE WORST POSSIBLE TIME
This quest can be done only after saving Nemesis.
280 Future Points are needed to start this quest.
SUMMARY:
Starts in Hermit Village by talking to man NPC
Requires 0 or 3 TP (three different 3 TP options)
0 TP gives no reward [FP: 5]
3 TP (any of them) give no reward [FP: 10]
DETAILS:
Once you've finished up in Catacombs, talk to the guy in the private
home of Hermit Village. A "?" will appear outside. Even if Nemesis isn't in your
party, she'll show up to provide her insight. You have four different ways to
clear this sidequest... three of which use 3 charges and the other uses none.
Avoid the Gears and and you'll find a woman has entered the home. She will
understand that the man got sick and start caring for him. Is that the way
things should go, however?
If you let Polnaref use the Gears, he'll come up with a brilliant plan,
and some craaaazy sounding stuff will happen. He'll return and reveal that he
made his bath water much hotter with Firaga. The man still got sick because he
jumped out of the water and ran around naked. That's that for him.
If you let Milfie use the Gears, she'll take a direct approach and waltz into
the house. Despite her talking, eventually he refuses to avoid the bath. Milfie
picks up his clothes, and his date walks in very shocked, assuming that
Milfie was a two-timer that the man was going out with. The group is
very dissapointed in Milfie.
If you let Nemesis use the Gears, she'll also take a direct approach. She'll
try her best to be nice to the man. She goes around and fixes up the house at
his request. The man still takes his bath due to her distraction, and his
clothes are ruined due to her leaving the iron on.
Despite the confusion here, you can ask any of them for help. Just don't
neglect the man and your FP will go up optimally.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6.1.24. THE SCIENCE OF DEDUCTION
This quest can only be done on a New Game+.
SUMMARY:
Starts in Darius by talking to waiter in cafe
Requires 0 or 1 TP
0 TP gives Elixir [FP: 10]
1 TP gives Potion [FP: 5]
DETAILS:
First, talk to a guy in Darius' cafe. Once you do a "?" will appear outside
of it. Only one charge is needed if you want to do so.
Using the gears will ignore Polnaref's suggestion and he won't be too happy
about it. Dune will go into the cafe and warn the waiter, resulting in him
running home and back. You'll get a Potion. That'll be that.
Take Polnaref's suggestion by not using the Gears, and go back to the waiter.
The group will jibber-jabber with him. It will culminate in him running home
and back to find his keys. He'll give you an Elixir.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6.1.25. BACK TO THE HUNT
270 Future Points are needed to start this quest.
SUMMARY:
Starts in Stethelos by talking to Charles
Go to Catacombs and Mt. Hasid and use either 0 or 2 TP
Use 0 TP to fight in Catacombs, or 2 not to
Use 2 TP to fight in Mt. Hasid, or 0 not to
You'll get the Power Amplifier, a Stethelos Armament
Get more FP by not fighting both [FP: 10]
DETAILS:
Talk to Charles near the end of the game and he'll ask you to head to both Mt.
Hasid and the Catacombs.
Go to the Catacombs and right ahead of you will be a fairy. It's not on
the minimap. Talk to it and will direct you to one of the rare monsters you're
looking for. Head to the top of the chain link area here, on the eastern
section. You'll find a naga there that will cause a critical decision to come
up. Two charges are needed to use the Gears of Time.
If you decide to use the Gears of Time, the group will go back in time to give
talking to the snake lady another shot. Eventually Milfie convinces it to not
be so angry using Sireugh as an example...? This is the better choice.
Not using the Gears of Time causes you to fight the Viper Lady. No biggie.
This seems to trigger something, but it might not be the best choice.
Then go to Mt. Hasid. A similar fairy is in the east alcove of the first area.
It will also fly off after directing you further up. No, you won't have to make
the long and annoying trek up Mt. Hasid; just go to the nearby cave and head
into the circular alcove in the sub-area. You'll have an extremely similar
decision to make, same amount of charges needed.
Using it is what will cause the Werecat to fight you this time. Defeat it with
any attack you care to use.
If you don't use it, The party will attempt to cheer up the crying cat. Sireugh
will give her some useful advice and the group will discover that she isn't
all that rare a monster, just like the viper lady.
From here, head back to the Stethelos and talk to Charles. You'll get a new
weapon for the Stethelos, the Power Amplifier; when used, it buffs your entire
party depending on how many enemies you've scouted. You'll get it regardless of
what choices you made, but choosing not to fight the "rare monsters" allows you
to avoid senseless violence and helping the real rare monsters...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6.1.26. THE NASTIES
You must have completed "Back to the Hunt" to start this quest.
350 Future Points are needed to start this quest.
SUMMARY:
Starts in Stethelos by talking to Zkauba
Requires 3 TP (no alternative)
3 TP gives Shield Generator, a Stethelos Armament [FP: 10]
Ignoring it continues the loop [FP: 5]
DETAILS:
Here we have another sidequest given by a Stethelos crew member; this time,
Zkauba. He'll ask you to head for the Channel Cave, which is marked for you.
Once you're there, head to the northern section and you'll find an unmarked
chest. Examine it, and you'll be given the option to use your Gears of Time.
You could not use them, but that just repeats it forever. Once you use them,
you'll appear at the chest, and you'll find those fairies from Charles's quest.
However, they're not quite as happy to see you. It's that time again!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOSS BATTLE: Nasty Fairies
Nasty Pixie-Wind 5600 HP
STR 48 AGI 64
MAG 68 DEF 53
Abilities: Traits:
Tackle All Status Immune
Ice Weapon Immune
Fire Magic Boost
Wind Combo Resistant
Seduction
Nasty Sylph-Wind 4500 HP
STR 49 AGI 68
MAG 65 DEF 54
Abilities: Traits:
Tackle All Status Immune
Drop Magic Reflect
Storm Magic Boost
Seduction Initiative
Status Infliction
Healing Boost
Funny how the Nasty Sylph is weaker than the actual Sylph... anyway, this is
actually somewhat hard if you haven't been investing in Magic. You'll need
some sort of magic to kill them, as the Pixie is immune to physical attacks
like the Ashura Ghost. But since you're in the Otherworld at this point, you
might have some magical help from one of your fifth members. All in all, you
should be fine to take them out. They'll give out 14500 Kero for being beaten.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Once you defeat them, go back to Zkauba and he'll thank you with the final
Remote weapon, the Shield Generator. It increases your resistance to elements,
status afflictions, and such. If this is your final part for the Stethelos,
you'll also get a neat option in the main flight deck menu; you can change the
ship's color. It can be black, blue, red, or green now!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6.1.27. THE CAVING TOUR
300 Future Points are needed to start this quest.
SUMMARY:
Starts in Zacharion by talking to man NPC
At Ocean Cave, requires 0 or 1 TP
0 TP gives no reward [FP: 5]
1 TP gives Sightseeing Glasses [FP: 10]
DETAILS:
This sidequest starts in Zacharion, given by a man in front of some houses.
Talk to him and then head to the Island Cave. (It'll be marked on
your map in case you forget where it was.)
You'll meet a guy at the entrance, who will talk to you a bit and then a big
monster will be revealed at the top portion. It's a giant Xuan Wu, which is
actually a level 11 monster. Be careful. It resists water and weapons, so you
will want to use some sort of magic on it. Once you kill it, return to the man
and he'll leave, ready to meet you at the Ocean Cave.
The man will be right at the Ocean Cave entrance as well. Talk to him, get
rejected by the windstorm that's blocking those tempting chests and return.
He'll tell you something... and a "?" will appear to the east of him. It's
decision time. Only a mere charge is needed for it.
Use the Gears of Time and you'll be met by a giant Wind Emperor, another level
11 monster. You're going to want to use physical attacks on it. It resists
Earth. When you return to the present, the man isn't there... But you can
proceed past the windy storm and get the items; a Fire Stone and Elixir. The
man is by the chest with the Elixir. An important flower sparkles behind him
as the group converses. For clearing the sidequest this way, he gives you
Sightseeing Glasses, which resist Blind and Hold.
Ignoring the Gears of Time will lead you back to the man, who leaves without
giving you anything. Take a wild guess what you were supposed to do.

6.1.28. TO IREM, WITH LOVE [p8ik9y]
This is a password Event, and must be activated as such.
The password can be obtained from Hard Mode's "Hunt: South Staircase".
SUMMARY:
Starts in Stratus by talking to King Kuranes
Requires 0 or 2 TP
2 TP gives Strength Source [FP: 10]
0 TP gives Kuranes' Helmet [FP: 5]
DETAILS:
Go to Stratus and have an audience with the King. He'll give you a letter to
Irem (what a shock). Warp to Future Irem and talk to Cronus. It seems the
letter was intended for Grandma... you'll find a "?" by her bed. 2 charges
are needed to use the Gears for this one.
If you use the Gears, you'll go back to before Grandma "fell asleep". You'll
give her the letter... and she'll get mondo angry! The letter frightens her
quite a bit... but then she calms down. You'll get a Strength Source. Go back
and talk to Kuranes to end the sidequest.
Not using the Gears can be good too. Go back and talk to Cronus again. You'll
entrust the letter to her instead. Once you do, go back and talk to Kuranes.
Sireugh will tell a lot of lies, and the party will like it. They all keep him
from wanting to see Grandma in person. Once that's over, he'll give you
"Kuranes' Helmet", which isn't very special at all...
Return to Cronus, talk to her, and then go back to Grandma in the bed. This
will finally complete the sidequest.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6.1.29. CHOICES (Scenario 5 on page 5)
THIS SIDEQUEST IS UNLOCKED BY DOING THE PREVIOUS THREE SPECIAL SCENARIOS IN THE
WAY THAT I EXPLAINED. IT MUST BE DONE FOR THE SPECIAL ENDING AS WELL.
400 Future Points are needed to start this quest.
You must have broken the Gote barrier to start this quest.
SUMMARY:
Starts in Dharm by talking to Nemesis
Two non-Gears options
First option leads to 2 TP [FP: 20]
Second option leads to 0 TP [FP: 20]
Unlocks true ending
DETAILS:
Head to Dharm any time in the end-game and you'll find kid Nemesis in the town
square. She's concerned about Dior. The party tells her not to worry so much,
and the event begins...? To proceed, get back in your Stethelos and attempt to
warp. You'll get a surprise visit from the Wanderer! He'll tell you that Dharm
is about to be attacked by a horde of monsters. He goes into a lecture on how
Dune is making himself responsible for everything because of the Gears of Time.
He suggests that he let the raid happen and let the Dharm people learn from it.
But what do you think we should do?
Once Dune wakes up, you're given the option to use the Gears of Time or not.
If you pick the first option, the party will decide to stop the monsters. They
will also notice that Volage kinda ran off before. But he has an excuse. Now,
warp back to the Present and head for Pilgrim's Path. You'll find a "?" just
in front of the eastern exit. Use 2 charges and prepare for an ambush!
The battle is a Chain Battle against some monsters you've seen before. It should
be of little consequence to your party at this point. Once you've defeated them,
you'll have to face off against a giant Behemoth, which is more of a problem.
Still, take it out with your best single-target attacks. The super meat it
drops can help you get a level 11 monster if it's convinient.
Once you're done, head to Dharm and talk to the elder to deliver the report.
Dune will head to talk to Dior on his own while Sireugh has a chat with Nemmy.
Sireugh will have Nemesis talk to Dior once Dune's pep talk is over, and then
the sidequest will be over, the two becoming better friends than ever!
Now, if you choose the second option, things proceed mostly the same, except
it's Polnaref that disagrees with the decision to let the raid happen. Volage
still shows up and still gives his excuse. As before, head back to the Present,
but check out how Dharm is faring after the attack. It isn't doing so well.
Talk to Gil to proceed, and the same thing will happen with Dune and Sireugh
talking to Dior and Nemesis. The quest will complete. Now, which choice is
better? NEITHER! Just completing this quest UNLOCKS THE SECRET ENDING. And
both choices give a hefty amount of Future Points. Also, Dharm will magically
be back to normal when you head back.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6.1.30. THE LIMITS OF PRIDE (Scenario 6 on page 5)
420 Future Points are needed to start this quest.
SUMMARY:
Starts in Stethelos by talking to Barzai
(Unlocks The Black Diamond (future) and Battleship Annie Rosa)
Requires 0 or 2 TP
2 TP gives Queen's Medal [FP: 10]
0 TP gives Queen's Medal and Sailor's Bandanna [FP: 10]
DETAILS:
This is yet another Stethelos crew quest; this one comes from Barzai. Talking
to him will unlock a somewhat new area; The Black Diamond. But in the future.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE BLACK DIAMOND (future)
MONSTERS:
Adamantoise
Fossil Dragon
Sea Bishop
Treant
EXCAVATION TREASURE:
Item-Cloud Crystal
Item-Gale Crystal
The excavation here is simply two wind-casting items. The Cloud Crystal is
on the Bow and the Gale Crystal in Cabin 2, right by the skeleton.
TREASURE:
Item-12k Gold Nugget
Accessory-Earring
AREA NOTES:
The 12k Gold Nugget here will be right in front of you as you enter, and an
Earring will be in the farthest room, Cabin 1. Once you're done treasure hunting
go to Cabin 2 and you'll find a white skeleton there. Barzai will attempt to
remove it using his magic, but he isn't ready to go. Besides, this isn't the
skeleton you're looking for. So that you'll leave him alone, the monster tells
you where the Captain went off to, the Battleship Annie Rosa.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BATTLESHIP ANNIE ROSA
MONSTERS:
Bloodsucker
Fossil Dragon
Land Worm
Sea Bishop
EXCAVATION TREASURE:
Password-Gift: Item 32
The spot to dig here is in the Bow, and it has a password.
TREASURE:
Gun-.44 Magnum
Jutsu-Flash Fist
Item-Elixir
AREA NOTES:
You'll find both of the weapons in the main area of this ship. The Elixir is in
Cabin 1, the farthest room (yet again). To continue with the quest, approach
Cabin 2 and you'll automatically eavesdrop on your old Red Bone friend and
you'll find that he's gained some companions since last time. They'll converse
for a time until you decide to intervene, but you won't have much say in what
they do. You ought to use your Gears of Time... or ought you?
Well, if you don't use them, you'll end up in a nice Boss Battle.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOSS BATTLE: Ship Crew
Captain-Dark 4500 HP
STR 52 AGI 60
MAG 75 DEF 65

Yeah. Good luck. Actually, these guys aren't too hard, but the sheer number can
offput anybody! However, if you want an easy strategy, use your Sacred Swords.
They're ALL weak to Holy, and if you happen to have the ultimate techs for some
of the swords they can hit ALL enemies, which is good for these ungrouped guys.
Stick to Flare as well. You'll defeat them eventually. This can be a hard
fight if you're not prepared, though...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Once you defeat them all, Barzai will do his thing and remove them though
purification. For clearing the sidequest, you'll get a Queen's Medal and
Sailor's Bandanna, which resist all magic and all weapons respectively.
If you decide to use the Gears of Time, you'll intercept the meeting when you
were listening before. You'll only have to fight the Captain and Commander, and
defeating them only nets you a Queen's Medal, so the reward isn't as good as
refraining from using it. Just like last time.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6.1.31. FATHER'S FOOTSTEPS (Scenario 1 on page 6) [ir40n1]
This is a password Event, and must be activated as such.
The password cannot be obtained ingame.
SUMMARY:
Starts in Kommando by talking to SaGa 2's protagonist
Requires 0 or 1 TP
0 TP gives Father's Whip (improves Scouting) [FP: 10]
1 TP gives no reward [FP: 5]
DETAILS:
Once you get the Sword from SaGa 2's Mask in Kommando, talk to his son. You'll
see him talk to Mom a bit. They'll talk about Mask and monsters. Go to where
Mask should be and you'll find a "?" instead. You'll have a simple Gears choice
to make, with one charge to use or not.
If you use no TP, the Remote Cave will be marked on your map. Enter it and
you'll find Mask mere steps away from the exit. You'll talk to him a bit, and
from there proceed into the cave. In the top right section you'll find a Giant
Unknown, that's not on your minimap for whatever reason. Kill it, using Holy
attacks if you're in dire need, and return to Mask. The game conviniently
removes all random enemies from the area for your convinience.
Talk to Mask and he'll give you the Father's Whip and run off. This key item
will improve your odds of scouting an enemy.
Don't even try using the Gears of Time, you won't get the Whip. You won't get
much of anything. You'll just keep Mask from doing anything exciting. Boring!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6.1.32. THE HANIWA
This quest can only be done on New Game+.
"Father's Footsteps" cannot be done at the same time as this quest.
SUMMARY:
Starts in Kommando by talking to Mask
Choose the first option
Requires 1 TP (no alternative)
Gives Seven-Branch Sword [FP: 10]
DETAILS:
Once you get the Sword from SaGa 2's dad in Kommando, and you're on New Game+,
you can get this quest by leaving Kommando, returning, and talking to Mask.
Pick the first option, and Mask will talk with his son and wife a bit. He'll
then mark the location of Dark Cave on your map. Then he jumps out the
window... again.
Once you can go over there, you'll find the family waiting for you at the
entrance. The kid spots somthing strange in front of the party, but it
dissapears. Mask and the rest of them move along on their own. You'll find them
to the right of the area with the two switches... head to the northern branch
of the area to find the Haniwa. Approach it and it dissapears once more. It's
Gears of Time... time! But it doesn't seem to work. Anyway, head for the
southern branch and you'll find the Haniwa there again. It continues to run
away! From here, go talk to Mask and a "?" will appear on your way to the
entrance of the cave.
Your only choice is to use the Gears, so do it. You'll find the Haniwa again,
and this time it sits still!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOSS BATTLE: Haniwa
Haniwa-Neutral 10000 HP
STR 90 AGI 90
MAG 90 DEF 90
Drops: Seven-Branch Sword
Abilities: Traits:
Seven-Branch Sword All Status Immune
Tackle Regeneration
Ancient
Ancient
Okay, so this guy can hit pretty hard with his Seven-Branch Sword, and debuff
with it as well. He can also regenerate quite a bit of HP every round. Just
continue hitting it with your strongest attacks and keep your HP high. It's not
that hard if you just focus. When you defeat it, you'll get his Seven-Branch
Sword for yourself, the strongest Katana in the game! No Kero, though.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The party returns to the present. Go talk to Dad and show him the Seven-Branch
Sword to prove your victory. The group leaves and you clear the quest.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

These passwords are apparently given by the yellow slime traveling around the
world to "broaden his knowledge" from SaGa 2. I believe it's from talking
to him by leaving and re-entering where he is that gets him to move to the
next location, but for the actual password giving, I'm not 100% sure.

6.3. MONSTER NOTES
You have access to these at any time after you've defeated at least one of
these monsters, but the information is limited unless you transform into them
over the course of the game. It also counts how many times you've scouted the
enemy, so you can keep track of the Stethelos' weapons. They go in order from
one monster class to the last, ending with unique and boss enemies.
Monsters will become "mutations" with slightly higher stats in Hard Mode. In
the Monster Notes you can see the different mutation with the Y button if
you've met it. Their normal stats are up 10% and their HP goes up about 40%,
all rounded up. I will only list the base stats here, however. All enemies will
have the stats of their mutation on Hard Mode, but becoming a monster mutation
is entirely based on chance; usually "giant meat" will lend to a mutation. Level
1 monsters do not have mutations. All bosses have unseeable mutations, however,
and those mutations follow no specific formula like normal monsters do. On
another note, giant monsters simply have a lot more HP than the normal versions,
and if a giant version of a monster exists, I will note its "giant" HP.
I will also provide monster levels; these affect what exactly you get when you
become a monster via meat. Naturally, the higher the level, the better the
monster. Level 11 monsters are mostly unseen in-game and serve only to be the
ultimate change you can make; Super Meat from giant monsters is the key to that.
Here is a chart of transformations. Meat is on top, eater on the left.
If a monster of that level does not exist and you try to transform, you might
level up or down one. Monsters cannot adapt abilities by eating meat, but eating
and not transforming will recover their monster ability charges and some HP.

NOTE: Columns with OR will have you turn into the first species if you're male
or the second species if you are female. You have been warned.
Some traits that aren't as straightforward are as follows:
Armor Piercing: Slightly decreases enemy defense to all kinds of attacks.
Stealth: Increases the chance of a preemptive strike before battle.
Stealth/Alertness: Decreases surprise attacks AND increases preemptive strikes.
Alertness: Decreases the chance of a surprise attack.
Provocation: Makes you more often the target of single-target attacks.
Diplomacy: Makes you less often the target of single-target attacks.
Magic Reflect: Occasionally bounces back spells targeted at them. Doesn't seem
to work on Psycho Blast, Flare, and its variants.
Healing Boost: Healing spells are powered up when targeting its possesser.
This also includes Regeneration. "Healing Reduction" does the opposite.
Initiative: Makes your turn come slightly faster.
Immune Body: Immunity to Hold, Paralysis, Poison, and Blind.
Immune Mind: Immunity to Silence, Sleep, Stone, Confusion, and Curse.
Weapon Immune: Complete immunity to physical attacks.
Weak Weapons: Physical attacks are powered down on this monster.
The layout is as follows. STR is physical power, AGI is speed, MAG is magic
power and defense, while DEF is physical defense.

6.3.3. SLIMES
"Monsters animated through magical means."
They love to drain your HP and those attacks seem stronger than the average
magic spell, making them annoying. Its level 11 version has the ultimate version
of Psycho Blast, which is the closest you, as a monster, can have to Flare.
Also capable of Absorption.

6.3.4. DEEP ONES
"Creatures that originally came from the sea."

Still, the strongest one has the almighty Recovery skill.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6.3.5. CAMERAS
"Airborne surveillance cameras."
Pretty unremarkable until they start getting fixed damage attacks. Of course,
that evens out later on, making them a poor choice for the endgame. Their
magic isn't all that great to use with Rays and Gaze attacks.
Speigel-Neutral 126 HP, LV 2

6.3.6. SKELETONS

are better choices though.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6.3.8. FLYBOTS
"Mechanoids made in the form of insects."
Not worth turning into until you get to be an Insect, which has an instant death
attack that only costs one charge. Later stages keep that distinction, along
with getting slowly more proficient in Wind magic.

6.3.9. WORMS
"Beasts that have long, oddly shaped bodies."

group, which can be good early on.

late-game setting.

"Tanks, fully loaded for war."
Extremely good in the beginning due to fixed damage not being obsolete yet.
The first use of Artillery Cannon is strong and does not need to go into other

6.3.30. ROBOT (M)
"Giant mechanoids modeled after male humans."
Similar to Arms, these male monsters are masters of fixed damage... or they
would be if it weren't for their Inaccuracy. The Level 11 one loses it, but at
that point fixed damage isn't that great. Avoid gun-based attacks.

even further in the event that you want to ensure survival. It carries the
wonderful Recovery skill at level 11, as well.

6.4. TECH NOTES
This lists all of the techs you have sparked for weapons and magic alike. The
list goes in order from normal swords, all the way to Buff Magic. The weapons
that use the tech are listed, as well as its range and element, if any. Their
power value is also provided; the power value is a number added to the base
power of the weapon the tech is on.
If a skill has a * by its name, it has the possibility of raising the user's
Defense rather than the appropriate skill when they use it.
"Reviews" of weapon types are also available.

6.4.2. KATANAS
Katanas have less durability than swords, but are usually more powerful. These
weapons are another that humans are proficient in. Almost no techs of them hit
all enemies, unfortunately. There is one Sacred Sword that is a Katana.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6.4.3. GREATSWORDS
Greatswords have a lot of durability for such big weapons. Like the Katanas,
they take a while to get to Group-targeting techs. Cyborgs love this weapon,
but humans can use it too. They never target all enemies unless Transcending.
The last Sacred Sword is in this category.
(The Defender raises Defense with its basic attack.)

6.4.4. BLADES
Blades are high-durability Agility-based weapons. They're the preferred weapon
of Espers, but Humans can deal with them. Unlike most weapons, there is no
special Blade you get only on Hard Mode. They never target all enemies.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6.4.5. SPEARS
Spears are oddly the specialty of Beastmen, but they cannot use them
effectively due to their lower strength, which Spears are based off of. You'd
be better off letting a human handle these weapons. Spears love to multitarget.
Penetrate: One Enemy

6.4.6. AXES

6.4.7. JUTSUS
The favorite weapon of Beastmen, Jutsus have varying durability, and are
Agility-based. They never, ever, hit more than one enemy, but the sheer power
they possess more than makes up for it.
Flash Blow: One Enemy

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6.4.8. BOWS
Another of the Esper's specialties is the Bow. They deal fixed damage and are
Agility-based. However, they get quite weak over the course of the game and
may not be worth bothering with in the long run.
Psych Out: One Enemy, lowers MAG
Bow 2

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6.4.9. GUNS
Guns are another fixed-damage weapon that are based on power instead. Mechas
enjoy using them, and get a boost to their fixed power compared to other races.
They tend to have high durability, but hardly ever multitarget. An oddball in
this group is the Psycho Gun, which does not use fixed power, but Magic...

6.4.10. CANNONS
The final and most expensive weapon is the Cannon, another Mecha favorite.
Their durability varies, and they too use Fixed Power. I would never actually
buy one, rather just use them when you find them. They hardly ever single-
target, and have the most all-enemies techs of all. They have the strange
property of never sharing one tech with another Cannon.

6.4.19. ANCIENT MAGIC
Espers excel at all magic. None of these are stronger than Flare, except
the Transendence, so if you don't want to learn the techs, don't. Ancient Magic
is the only magic that has less durability than the others.

6.4.20. REMOTE CONTROL
The Remote Control can have from one to four techs on it that have varying
power depending on how many monsters you've scouted. The power can be checked
at any time with the "Stethelos Armaments" section in the menu.
Standard Laser: All Enemies, deals 300-1550 damage
Remote Control 1 (5 charges)
Long Range Laster: All Reinforcements, deals 15%-98% damage
Remote Control 2 (2 charges)
Power Amplifier: All Allies, increases all stats for 1-3 turns
Remote Control 3 (2 charges)
Shield Generator: All Alies, increases resistance by 10%-25% for 3 turns
Remote Control 4 (3 charges)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6.4.21. MONSTER ABILITIES
This data is not included in the game's notes; "Monster Abilities" are used by
the monsters in this game, and also by you if you are a monster. A skill can
have many different variations, each one using a number of skills for that
ability; as monsters get higher in level, they use variations that know more
skills in a way similar to sparking. The power of these abilities is not fixed,
also similarly to techs. The more skills a variation has, the higher the power
of those skills tends to be, so it's always worth transforming to try and get
more of these attacks.
Usually, if a variation has some skills, the transendence for it will be the
next skill on the list; the last variation will have an often unique
transcendence, though some skills are shared between abilities. Some attacks do
not follow this formula, however, and can get wonky with which attacks are
displayed on certain variations. If an ability can be inherited like a trait,
it's marked with a *. In this guide, abilities are listed with each variation
getting their own entry. The base power, number of charges, attacks, and
transcendence are shown, [along with the monsters that can have the abilities
without inheritance.]
There are some errors in the current translation's version of the skills. I
will note them here for consistency's sake, but an update should follow if
and when they are corrected.

6.5. ITEM NOTES
This encyclopedia provides information on every item you can use in the game,
including equipment. It's split into Weapons, Magic, Armor, and Consumables.
All items will have data on where to get them, split into several different
categories: find/dig, buying, rewards, enemy drops, and starter equipment.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6.5.1. WEAPON NOTES
Weapons are used by all but monsters. They each have four different techs plus
a transendence. Cyborgs and Mechas get boosts to their HP and STR or AGI when
they equip weapons. There are several different types of weapons, as well. The
cost of a weapon, even if you can't technically buy it, is included for
reference as to how much you'll spend using it in battle. The formula is around
half of the buying price divided by the number of charges, but it varies.
Humans can use every weapon fine, but especially Swords and Katanas.
Espers only use Blades and Bows with proficiency.
Beastmen excel in Jutsu usage, and also in Spears (for no reason).
Cyborgs only like to use the heavy Greatswords and Axes.
Mechas fix their numbers and prefer Guns and Cannons.

6.5.2. MAGIC NOTES
Magic can be used by all but Monsters and Mechas. However, only Espers are
proficient in magic; equipping it on any other class is a waste, usually. It
doesn't even grant any statups to Cyborgs or Mechas. Basic tomes are 1000 Kero
while advanced tomes are 50000 Kero. Exceptions are noted.
Espers use ALL magic well.

6.5.3. ARMOR NOTES
There are several different kinds of armor. Most go into your armor slots, but
Shields are a bit different; they are considered a weapon and take up charges.
They don't grant immediate defense, but increase your evasion if an enemy
tries to hit you after you put it up. Cyborgs and Mechas do get HP and DEF from
them, though. Their Kero is listed like on the weapons for reference.
All other armor is standard. It grants DEF to whoever wears it, except monsters.
Mechas can put any kind of armor on any slot. They and Cyborgs also get an HP
bonus from average armor. Some armor boosts other stats, too. Accessories grant
an immunity or resistance to something, and each character can equip two.
The first stat noted is for Humans, Espers, and Beastmen. Mechas and Cyborgs'
stat gains are noted afterwards. Resistances apply to all classes but monsters.

7. CONTACT ME

Japanese or have any sort of information to give me, suggestions on how to
improve format or anything like that, then by all means shoot me an E-mail at
kmaster0 [att] gmail [dott] com. I think you can interpret that. I will need
your help more than ever to get this walkthrough to an actual v1.0! Anything
marked by triple question marks, new battle strategies, and such are all
welcome.
Thank you for the wonderful people at Cain's Domain for giving this game the
shot it deserves at translation. Thank you to whoever decided it was a good idea

And thank you for reading!
