============================ CUTE KNIGHT KINGDOM: SYMBOLS ============================ A (hopefully) helpful chart by LadyNorbert The symbols in this game are required to cast magic spells. The more symbols you find, the wider range of spells you can cast. Additionally, in order to unlock the Mystic ending, you must locate all of the symbols. There are a total of 25 symbols to find; click on the Spells icon to see which ones you have located. The attributes of the different spells can give you an idea of which creatures are most susceptible to each. Evil creatures, such as the undead (like mummies and walking skeletons) are always vulnerable to Holy spells. If you can't decide, experiment with different spells to see which ones do the most damage to different monsters. The symbols are listed here in the order they appear on the spell chart. It's mostly alphabetical, except that they made a mistake in putting Music before Mushroom (alphabetically, Mushroom should come first). ======= |CANDLES| ======= --------- Location: You will begin the game already knowing this symbol. --------- ----------- Attributes: Holy, Light, Fire ----------- ====== |CHARGE| ====== --------- Location: The frontier fortress --------- ----------- Attributes: Air ----------- --------------- How to acquire: --------------- Chat with Betty, the old woman with the wooden leg. Work for her foraging in the woods until a new chat option is opened. Chat with her to find out how she lost her leg; you will learn this symbol as a result. ====== |CLOVER| ====== --------- Location: The frontier fortress --------- ----------- Attributes: Nature ----------- --------------- How to acquire: --------------- Continue to work for Betty, just as you did to get the Charge symbol, until you have a conversation about four-leaf clovers. You will learn the symbol. ===== |CROSS| ===== --------- Location: The capital city --------- ----------- Attributes: Holy ----------- --------------- How to acquire: --------------- Chat with Duncan, the bishop of the church. Select the option to ask him about religion, then ask about sin. After he preaches at you for a few minutes, you will learn the symbol. ======= |CRYSTAL| ======= --------- Location: The frontier fortress --------- ----------- Attributes: Light, Earth ----------- --------------- How to acquire: --------------- Talk to Dimitri, the gentleman standing between the blacksmith's forge and the military barracks, and ask for a mining job. After a week of successful mining, you will find a quartz crystal, which he allows you to keep. ======= |FEATHER| ======= --------- Location: The woods north of your home village --------- ----------- Attributes: Holy, Air ----------- --------------- How to acquire: --------------- This is probably the most complicated one to get. Lose a battle (it doesn't matter what you fight) so that you wake up at home with no memory of how you got there. Go to the capital city and speak with the bishop about the experience; also chat with John the innkeeper about it. Go into the desert and speak to the astronomer until she talks about the night she saw a falling star. Go back to the capital city and speak with John again so that he tells you about the traveler who claimed to have seen a silver angel. Go to the forest just north of your home village; there is a cluster of five trees. Move in that vicinity until you see a feather and can't figure out why it's there; this will grant you the symbol. ===== |FLAME| ===== --------- Location: The dungeon south of the western settlement --------- ----------- Attributes: Fire ----------- --------------- How to acquire: --------------- Explore the dungeon until you find a passageway blocked by spiderwebs. You will wonder if someone else knows the secret to getting past them. Exit the dungeon (either of your own volition or by losing a fight against one of the resident monsters) and go to the western settlement. Chat with Tirtha, who will tell you the legend of the wizarding settlement and the demonic spider who dwells in the heart of the dungeon. You will learn the symbol after this conversation. ===== |HEART| ===== --------- Location: Your home village --------- ----------- Attributes: Emotion ----------- --------------- How to acquire: --------------- Go to your home village during the first week of your birth month. Click on your mother, who will wish you a happy birthday. After receiving birthday cake and a monetary gift, you will get this symbol. ======= |INCENSE| ======= --------- Location: The capital city --------- ----------- Attributes: Fire, Holy ----------- --------------- How to acquire: --------------- Attend the end-of-year festival on the 24th day of the 12th month by clicking on Duncan the bishop. You may choose to meditate, celebrate, or purge your sins; regardless of your selection, you will receive the symbol at the conclusion of the festival. ==== |LAVA| ==== --------- Location: The northeastern dungeon (north of the frontier fortress) --------- ----------- Attributes: Fire, Earth ----------- --------------- How to acquire: --------------- You will receive the symbol automatically upon entering the dungeon. ==== |LEAF| ==== --------- Location: The woods northeast of your home village --------- ----------- Attributes: Nature, Air ----------- --------------- How to acquire: --------------- Leave your home village. Move right to the main road, then cross it. Move north into the trees. You will automatically pause to ruminate on nature, and receive the symbol. ==== |LILY| ==== --------- Location: The lake west of your home village --------- ----------- Attributes: Nature, Water ----------- --------------- How to acquire: --------------- Leave your home village and head left. You'll come across a lake with three lily pads in a configuration on the eastern shore. Walk into these lilies and you will receive the symbol. ====== |MIRAGE| ====== --------- Location: The desert --------- ----------- Attributes: Air, Light ----------- --------------- How to acquire: --------------- Go west into the desert. Walk around the area northwest of Tirtha's oasis until you stop because you've spotted a lake, which turns out to be a mirage. You will learn the symbol after you've finished your contemplations. ===== |MUSIC| ===== --------- Location: The capital city --------- ----------- Attributes: Emotion, Earth ----------- --------------- How to acquire: --------------- In the capital city, speak with Bishop Duncan at the church and ask about a job. He will invite you to sing in the church choir as a volunteer. You will get the symbol after completing a few successful weeks of singing. ======== |MUSHROOM| ======== --------- Location: The circle of mushrooms northeast of the southern dungeon --------- ----------- Attributes: Nature, Dark ----------- --------------- How to acquire: --------------- Walk into the circle of mushrooms and stand in the center. Note that this will only grant you the symbol after the sun goes down, so you may have to walk around for a little bit in order to change the time of day. ========= |NIGHTMARE| ========= --------- Location: Your home village --------- ----------- Attributes: Emotion, Dark ----------- --------------- How to acquire: --------------- Lose a battle. It doesn't matter what you fight; get your butt kicked by a tumbleweed if you're so inclined. You'll wake up at home with no memory of how you got there, and after your baffled conversation with your mother, you receive this symbol. (Getting Nightmare is required in order to get Feather.) ===== |QUAKE| ===== --------- Location: The dungeon south of the western settlement --------- ----------- Attributes: Earth ----------- --------------- How to acquire: --------------- You will receive the symbol automatically upon entering the dungeon. ==== |RAIN| ==== --------- Location: Your home village --------- ----------- Attributes: Water, Nature, Air ----------- --------------- How to acquire: --------------- Work for Donald the farmer, tending crops, until you receive the symbol. ====== |SCREAM| ====== --------- Location: The western settlement --------- ----------- Attributes: Dark, Emotion, Earth ----------- --------------- How to acquire: --------------- Chat with Venetia the astronomer about her son, Little Precious. Ask about jobs and accept a position babysitting him. After a successful week, he will start screaming and you will learn the symbol. ====== |SHADOW| ====== --------- Location: The southern dungeon (due south of your starting village) --------- ----------- Attributes: Dark ----------- --------------- How to acquire: --------------- You will receive the symbol automatically upon entering the dungeon. ========= |SNOWFLAKE| ========= --------- Location: The northern dungeon (west of the capital city) --------- ----------- Attributes: Water ----------- --------------- How to acquire: --------------- You will receive the symbol automatically upon entering the dungeon. ==== |STAR| ==== --------- Location: The western settlement --------- ----------- Attributes: Light ----------- --------------- How to acquire: --------------- Go to the western settlement and chat with Venetia, the astronomer. Study with her successfully for one week; you will receive the symbol afterward. === |SUN| === --------- Location: Near the southern resort --------- ----------- Attributes: Fire, Light ----------- --------------- How to acquire: --------------- This one is a little tricky. Walk on the beach around the resort, and you will stop to observe the sun's warmth on your skin, learning the symbol in the process. However, you can only do this between the fourth and ninth months of the year, and only during daylight hours. ===== |TEARS| ===== --------- Location: The capital city --------- ----------- Attributes: Emotion, Water ----------- --------------- How to acquire: --------------- Chat with Armand, the director of the cultural center (the beatnik-looking fellow with purple hair). Attend classes and/or work as a museum guide until he offers to paint a portrait of you. Accept this offer and sit for the painting. Chat with him again and he will show you an emotional painting of a seascape. You will receive the symbol afterward. ==== |WINE| ==== --------- Location: The capital city --------- ----------- Attributes: Dark, Water ----------- --------------- How to acquire: --------------- Work as a salesgirl for Liling, the merchant. After you've completed a few successful weeks, she'll receive a shipment of exotic wines and offer you a sample. You'll receive the symbol after the dialogue concludes. I hope you found this helpful! ~LadyNorbert
