Frequently Asked Questions -=-=- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Who exactly is Glycinia? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Glycinia is a fairy who you will get to meet throughout the game. You can find her in (not so random) encounters during the game but only once. This secret character is different from other characters in one way; she will appear will different equipment at different times. She will always come with a Glass Pumpkin and either a Dragon Gem or a Cassowary Feather. You will only get one additional special item if you do choose to recruit her. If Glycinia dies in one of the encounters, she drops the Glass Pumpkin she holds (Thanks Tetra!). After you have recruited Glycinia, her death quote will be: "Aaahhhh! Why me again?". ------------------------------------------------------------------------ When should I look for her? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Recruit her when you want to. You can avoid encountering Glycinia anytime if you _pass over_ the area she is in. If you need a fairy for your party and want to use her equipment to its fullest extent get her at Vespa before your seventh battle. Just make sure the last area you pass over is Vespa and not a different area. If you want some stronger items and a better Glycinia then find her later in the game. You may want to recruit Glycinia early in the game so you can sell her Glass Pumpkin. You may also want to recruit her so you can get a rare item that you can only get after a versus battle. I like getting her early on and besides, how long are you going to use a Crescente for? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ What should I expect in a battle? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ You will always find Glycinia in a semi-random battle where you have to defeat all the enemies. The enemies will change from time to time just like Glycinia does. Her dialogues and Alphonse's will change as well but she will always join you as a guest during the battle. Glycinia will always run away from the enemy and keep her distance but will sometimes she will use a long ranged attack like Magic Missile. Enemies with bows will hit Glycinia most of the time so try removing those enemies first. After the battle you'll have a chat with Glycinia and have the chance to recruit her. If you choose not to recruit her the first time you see her, you'll never see her again (Yay! erm..booo). If you do choose to recruit Glycinia, she will tell you she's looking for her sister and can't find her alone. Expect to meet Lubina, Glycinia's sister, later in the game. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ What can I do with Glass Pumpkins? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ If you try to sell Glass Pumpkins, you will find out nobody wants to buy them. Every shop will have a Glass Pumpkin on their store shelf (along with a Flame Shield and an empty Healing Essence vial) but only one shop will actually buy them. If you visit the mermaids, you will be given a hint, "I'm sorry, but we don't stock that. There's a man in a town to the south who might be interested...". The mermaids are referring to the Pumpkin Head in Scabellum who will buy Glass Pumpkins for 2000 Goth. The Pumpkin Head will only start appearing after Deneb has joined your party. If you sell five Glass Pumpkins to the Pumpkin Head, the Firecrest will open up as an accessory you can buy. You can also equip Glass Pumpkins as a firecrest substitute but early in the game you may be having Goth problems. The Glass Pumpkin does provide +5 resistance to all elements along with 15 spell and physical defense. The drawback with equipping Glass Pumpkins is their heavy weight but as an accessory, beast and dragons may equip them. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ What's happening at Gracula? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ If you go to Gracula with Glycinia, Glycinia will start flying around and say "Smells like Lubina!!!". This will only happen during your first battle at Gracula. Well that's nice and dandy but what does that really mean? Glycinia is looking for her sister Lubina and if her instincts are right Lubina is in front of your eyes. There will be an enemy Gremlin named Lubinnya in Gracula who will not attack your characters. If you move Glycinia to a spot adjacent to her she will come out of her disguise and join as a guest for the remainder of the battle. At the end of the battle you'll have the choice to let Lubina join you. If you choose not to add Lubina to your troops, Glycinia will leave with Lubina but leave her equipment with you. Lubina, like Glycinia also has a death quote after you have recruited her. Lubina's quote is: "NOOOOO! I still want to play!". ------------------------------------------------------------------------ I thought this was a Glycinia guide, why is Lubina so important? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ If you reunite the Fairy sisters, you will be rewarded with their own special attack. When you move the sisters next to each other the spell Magic Barrage will open up. It has three different flags, Special, Eradicate, and Selfdamage. You can't see it on their status screens but if you look at their talents during a battle, it will show up. Magic Barrage costs 0 SP and takes up both the sister's turns. Both of the sisters will attack and then damage both of them afterwards. Like other SP talents, it can hit through Necklaces of Resist. After you expand Magic Barrage's Area of Effect, you can hit multiple targets. You'll be able to hit in a five-square cross and like other holy spells it is based on intelligence, not agility. If Magic Barrage was based on agility it would be much more useful. The spell's damage, hitroll, and range will be based off the fairy that casts it. They damage themselves by one half of their current hitpoints (rounded down) but the damage will never kill them. When you attack you will deliver heavy damage and eradicate the undead. I find this attack useful in Versus Mode along with other Fairy talents. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -=-=- 3. Glycinia Locations -=-=- Now for the meat of this guide, Glycinia's locations and equipment. I'll follow this format throughout the guide: [Class: Element, Alignment - Equipment - Spells (not including specials)]. Glycinia will pop up in different places at different times of the game. You can avoid Glycinia temporarily by passing over the area where she can be found. ~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.

After Battle 15 (Haena) go to Gracula with Glycinia ~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~. Glycinia, "Lubina, where are you hiding? Come out!!!" Enemies: Gremlin: Wind, N - Composite Bow, Hard Leather, Glass Pumpkin War Trophy: Glass Pumpkin Gremlin: Fire, N - Great Bow, Hard Leather War Trophy: Great Bow Lubinnya: Gremlin?: Water, N - Sherwood Bow, Hard Leather, Amulet War Trophy: A Kiss;) or 1000 Goth Lubina Death Quote: "Oh, nooo.

If you don't have Glycinia with you at the time, you will see eight Gremlins and no Lubinnya or Glass Pumpkin. If you loose Lubina you get 1000 Goth, which is quite nice, but you'll forfeit the chance of recruiting her. Glycinia will not notice her dead sister's corpse and stay with you _forever_. ~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.

Enemy Team: 8 of these Gremlins with varying elements usually Fire or Wind Gremlin: Element, C - Pike, Chain Mail, Iron Helm Gremlin: Element, C - Composite Bow, Chain Mail, Iron Helm Gremlin: Element, C - Great Bow, Chain Mail, Iron Helm Without Glycinia in your party you will face lots of Gremlins (I guess Lubina wanted to show the Gremlins how to do a real "Fairy's Kiss"). I have seen the Gremlins drop three different items randomly. The Gremlins will drop either a Tome of Discipline, Sword Emblem, or Sacrificial Doll. Lubina will not be found anywhere. There will not be a Gremlin carrying a Glass Pumpkin but many that will attack you with confusion and petrifying SP talents. At the end of the battle Alphonse will ponder, "I wonder if there are gremlin nests nearby..." ~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~. -=-=- 4. Credits -=-=- To the coolness of ROMs which first got me into the Ogre Battle Saga with Ogre Battle: March of the Black Queen. To my local Babbages for being the only store that had this game during the first week it came out. I went to Target, Toys R Us, KB Toys, Wal- Mart, Funcoland, and finally Babbages to find 10 on their shelf. To Atlus and Quest because without them I would never see this game. CyricZ for making a useful Ogre Battle 64 walkthrough, better than Prima's in every way. And to, of course, CJayC for making GameFAQs. This guide was written by Ehong Chao (c) 2002
