Lorean: A female elf warrior who is looking for her captain. Mendes: Ewan's superior. King: You save him. He's the King. Kayn: Lorean's captain. He can turn into a wolf. \ / \/\/ ALKTHROUGH For centuries, the Free Nations have been fighting demons. When the King was captured, the human armies began losing the battle. You'll see a cutscene of a battle... looks pretty sweet. In these dark ages, a young warrier named Ewan swore to free his king or die trying. At soon as some credits roll, you can move around. Follow the island you are on. Soon it will ask you if you want to change the controls. Choose whatever you wish, then continue moving. Ewan: ...This mission must be very important... Lord Mendes said I had to keep it secret at all costs... Follow the red arrow and press 1 to jump over the steps. Pick up the box using 5 and then jump on it so that you may be able to leap onto the ledge. Then you will meet Mendes. Mendes: So, young Ewan, you made it. Ewan: I would dive into Hell's Mouth to banish these monsters, my Lord! Mendes: Listen to me. Our agents finally found our King... I want you to sneak into this stronghold. Locate the king and report back to me. Then, my knights will free him! Ewan: ...As you wish, my Lord... When the you've finished reading the little dialogue, take a look around. There are two large blue doors, one behind Mendes and one to your left. One appears locked, and the other doesn't matter for the time being. Instead, follow the red arrow behind you. Press 5 to attack the pesky trees in your way. You will see a shadowy monster up ahead. Go forth and strike it using 5. It will transform into a box. Use the box to climb up the ledge. Step on the orange switch, and... Music plays, and the blue doors disappears with a flourish. Enter now its dark depths. A loading screen later, you are at a place where you will see another flying shadow monster, two switches, and one blue gate. First things first: kill the monster. Use the box to hold down one of the brightly-colored switches while you step on the other. Again, music plays as the gate disappears. Go past where it was. You will see a stationary spiked ball, as well as a few that are moving. Weave your way past them, then attack the trees at the end of the plateau you are on to find a switch. Step on it to make the stationary spike in your way levitate. It will only do so for a short time, though, so hurry! There are two shadow birds (I think I'll just call them that from now on) that will try to get at you. Kill them and they will become boxes. Stack two boxes on top of each other next to the third box, then use them as stairs to get to the switch up above. You will see a wooden platform below disappear. Go to where it was and hop down. You'll see a switch, a spiked ball, and most alluringly, a chest. What could be inside it? Step on the switch and the spiked ball will levitate, but once again only for a short amount of time. Hurry past it! Press 5 when you get near the chest. Ewan: A key! A key indeed! But go next to the door and press 5 to slash it apart. You don't need your key yet. Follow the red arrows when you emerge in the next area. Follow them towards the door where Mendes stood in front of just a little while ago. Press 5. The door is open. You need to use the hook to grab the spike, but you have to melt the ice blocking your way to the hook first. Ewan has to pick up the fireball and throw it on the ice. Don't worry; if you miss you'll get another fireball. Pick up the fireball with 5. Get to the hook and press 5 to acquire it. Eawn: A grappling hook! Press 1 to grab spikes with it. You heard the devilishly-handsome blue-haired man! Press 1 to test out your new grappling hook! You have to stand right beneath the spike to use it. You'll see the option to press 1 when you're underneath it. Ewan will do a cool flip up onto a ledge, where you'll see a chest and a mysterious door. What's inside the chest, you ask? Ewan: Medicinal herbs! Press 3 to use. Use if you'd like. Then go slash open the door and go through it. Go forward and you will be approached by behind by a humanoid figure in white. This monster can send out electrical charges. Defeat it and a spike will appear. Look around before using it. There is a gate and some steps that lead to a ledge too high up for you to reach. Use the grappling hook again on the spike. On the ledge above there are three boxes. One is a regular box, one has an orange top and one has a yellow top. Place the orange box on the orange square on the ground, place the yellow one on the yellow circle, and finally place the plain one on the brown square. Music will play and a small golden ring will appear above you. Forget the spikes to your left or the gate to your right; use the grappling hook to grab onto the yellow ring. Once you have a hold you are supposed to press 1 when the option comes up. Or you could watch Ewan swing for a bit... but you want to progress, right? Don't worry; if you don't make it you can start from where you left off with a half a heart less health. The trick is, press 1 when you swing to the left. Kill a shadow bird and a box will appear. Use it to get to a nearby chest. Ewan: Medicinal herbs! Press 3 to use. Use if you'd like. Then go slash open the door and go through it. Go forward and you will be approached by behind by a humanoid figure in white. This monster can send out electrical charges. Defeat it and a spike will appear. Look around before using it. There is a gate and some steps that lead to a ledge too high up for you to reach. Use the grappling hook again on the spike. On the ledge above there are three boxes. One is a regular box, one has an orange top and one has a yellow top. Place the orange box on the orange square on the ground, place the yellow one on the yellow circle, and finally place the plain one on the brown square. Music will play and a small golden ring will appear above you. Forget the spikes to your left or the gate to your right; use the grappling hook to grab onto the yellow ring. Once you have a hold you are supposed to press 1 when the option comes up. Or you could watch Ewan swing for a bit... but you want to progress, right? Don't worry; if you don't make it you can start from where you left off with a half a heart less health. The trick is, press 1 when you swing to the left. Kill a shadow bird and a box will appear. Use it to get to a nearby chest. Ewan: Medicinal herbs! Press 3 to use. Then hop onto the other ledge adjacent to the ledge with the chest. There's one of those electrical humanoids again. Slay it and a switch appears. Step on it and a golden ring shows up in the sky. It's time for Ewan to swing again. Press 1 when Ewan swings to the left to leap onto the ledge, only to see that you'll have to swing again to another ledge. Do so. (By this time, it doesn't tell you to press 1 anymore. You should just know.) There are two shadow birds on this second ledge. Kill them for another gold ring to show up. Swing across for another small cutscene. A warrior is fighting three of those humanoid electric thingies. Ewan cuts in and helps. Lorean: What the hell are you doing here, human?! Ewan: I'm not allowed to reveal my mission, young lady. Lorean: Pft. So typical of young soldiers! Listen, I'm looking for my caption, but... Ewan: Captain? ...That will be enough for me, young lady. The more we will be, the higher the chance of success. Press 0 to take control of the other character: Lorean, this nice elf girl you've just met. She, as you can see, has a bow and arrow that looks rather nifty. She has 6 hearts of health. Open the chest nearby and you'll get... something. Use Lorean to hit the arrow behind the door with her arrow. Her arrow will go straight through the door. You will have to jump onto the gray floor to be able to progress. Step on the switch to make one of the gates disappear. However, another gate appears, blocking Ewan from going back. Use Lorean to progress to the ledge just below the tall switch (the one that's green and constantly glistening in the sunlight). Have her fall down the ledge onto the steps you passed earlier. Have Ewan go back to the three boxes. Now that they have iron boots, they can go across the spikes. Go past them to see another electric white figure and slay it. Meanwhile, back with Lorean, you'll see a blue gate with another tall switch behind it. Hit it with your arrow, and it shall open for you. There will be anothe electric white figure to do battle with. Slay it and Ewan and Lorean will be reunited. Take both characters and go back up the little stairs to where Ewan last fought an electric white figure. Use Lorean to hit the tall switch and a gold ring will appear. Lorean cannot use it to cross the ravine, but Ewan can. There's a spike that Ewan can use to get to a chest and a door. Open the chest to find medicinal herbs. Slash the door open and you will go to a loading screen. In this new area you'll see ice and two great balls of fire. Use the one closest to you to melt the ice before you proceed. Ewan: Mmh. According to the map, I should be close. Here! That man over there must be the King! Suddenly a huge looking orc appears. But Ewan knows what to do. Ewan: I have to throw the fireball on the orc then attack it with my sword. Apparently this was taught in Adventure prep school. Anyway, do what Ewan suggests. It takes 5 hits to massacre the beast. Then, it will POOF! disappear, and in its place will be a chest. Inside it is... Ewan: The Wind Jewel! After selecting it in the item menu, press 3 to use the Wind power! Press 7 or 9 to switch items. Select the Wind Jewel and stand on the blue platform that has also appeared. Then, face the chest and use your wind power to blow yourself to the other side of the river. Get off and Lorean appears. Lorean: What were you doing? Ewan... Help me open the fence. Ewan: But my orders are... Lorean: Are you just a puppet?! Don't let nobles get all the glory for your deeds. Forget your orders and seize this chance! Place both characters on a switch each. With a flourish of music, the gate opens and the King is free. King: Brave warriors, the Kingdom owes you so much. Suddenly some large monsters appear. Lorean: Hell! They're coming! Get ready!! The monsters spray stuff at the center of the area, and a figure appears. Lorean: Captain! Then the captain turns into an AWESOME wolf!! Kayn: Thanks for your help, young man. Your Highness... The Unicorn Legion would be proud to escort you out of this filthy place. King: You will all be rewarded, captain Kayn! Ewan: Unicorns? They are the best mercenaries. So, this man is certainly Kayn himself. Their leader. A hero... Kayn: Lorean, I cleared the escapre route. Escort the king back to our camp. Ewan: ...Captain, I was only supposed to locate the King... Kayn: And you freed him! Congratulations. Haha! That's the Unicorn's way... There is a little epilogue down in Ewan’s point of view... Kayn was so confident and persuasive. He convinced me to join the Unicorns, a true brotherhood. (It goes on to say that several weeks later, the King sent Kayn to attack some demons.) You then see a large fight led by Ewan against all sorts of orcs and black nights, and they're all screaming, "TO DEATH!!!" 'Tis pretty sweet. Finally, you'll be playable again. You'll be an area filled with lava. Use your wind power to hit the nearby switch to activate a blue platform. Use your wind power again to cross the lava on said platform. BEWARE: Sometimes it seems hard to get off of the platform. Holding down the button you are using to walk off for a second or two before it will actually work. You'll see two monsters that, from your angle, look like spiders. Approach them and you'll see that they are more of the white electric humans. Once you slay them a blue platform will appear. You'll notice once you get on the platform that spiked balls appear to be in your way. You'll have to time your trip across the lava just right, using the power of the Wind Jewel. Once you pass the first three spikes you'll see a switch. Turn to face the switch and press 3. You will shoot back just as the spiked balls behind you rise up. Press 3 again and then get off of the platform. You'll see a spike above you. Get beneath it and press one. Kill the shadow birds that immediately attack you and then open the chest for some medicinal herbs. When you killed the shadow birds, a golden ring appeared. Use it to swing to the other ledge. In this area you'll see two switches, a wooden platform, and a box. Use the box to reach the higher switch and the wooden platform. Go back down and you'll see a golem with a mace and a spiked ball... Step on the switch in front of you. Step on it and the spike will rise up. Go under it and you'll see that there are actually two golems. (Fighting them marks the first time I died in this game. U.U) You have to hit the golems when they are not swinging. You can also use your Wind Power to stun them. If you use it repeatedly, it will stun them repeatedly. You may slash at them then.They take about 3 hits each before they poof to nothingness. There are two methods that you can use to defeat them: Method 1. There is a way I discovered to beat at least one of them without hurting yourself too much if you do it right: stand by the switch for awhile, and one of the golems may come after you and stand near the spiked ball. Be careful! They can still harm you if you get too close. If they stay by the spiked ball, you can move back towards the switch (DON'T STEP ON IT!) for cover, and when they stop swinging for a moment, go near the spiked ball and slash at them. Then run back for cover near the switch. Repeat this until one of the golems is dead. Then, it will be easier to defeat the second golem, in the open. Notes if you try to use this method: -the golems may not come toward the spiked ball at all. To help lure them on theway, stay to the right (your right) of the orange switch for awhile. One of the golems should stagger towards you. -When the golem next to the spiked ball is swinging, you have very little maneuverability. You'll have to be very quick and nimble, and be well acquainted with the controls. Just practice going in the basic directions (up, down, side to side) for a minute before you try this... -Do not run into the spiked ball when slashing at the enemy. >.< It's very easy to do. -You'll still have to defeat the second golem, and may take extensive damage depending on how many times you ran into the spiked ball trying to slash at the enemy. Method 2. Just fight them both and be careful. This method is useful if you only want to face one golem alone, but it can be easier to just face the two at the same time. Once you defeat them both, three orange switches shall appear. Approach them and Ewan speaks! Ewan: Keep 5 pressed to store energy, then release for a circular strike. Ok, so what this means is: keep 5 pressed and a green bar will fill upthe sword at the top of your screen (next to your HP and whatever magical item you're holding at the time.) If it is all the way full, when you release it energy will shoot out of the sword in a neat-looking display. This is a circular strike. Stand in the middle of the three switches and do a circular strike. They will disappear while you read some very, very, very, very cheesy dialogue. Demon Lord: Who is toying with powers that surpass him? Haha !! A fire will start burning near Ewan. Ewan will look over and go: Ewan: ?!! Aaargh Very intelligible. Demon Lord: I can see your soul. You will be mine soon, poor creature... Ewan: NOOO!!! Ewan goes up and slashes the fire. Miraculously, it blows out. Ewan: With the will of the gods, I must find Kayn to tell him about this! Scene over. There's a golden ring nearby you. Swing from it onto a nearby ledge. There's a switch on another platform in the lava. Use your windpower to hit it. Music will play. Swing from the golden rings to the blue door. Slash it. You'll go to a loading screen. Ewan is in an area where there's a ball of fire and a chunk of ice. Take a few steps towards the ball and you'll be attacked by three shadow birds. Kill them and pick up the ball of fire and chuck it at the chunk. Go to where the ice was, and jump down. Approach the blue gate. At first it seems like there's no way to continue, but approach and you'll suddenly be transported to a different area. In this area, the area is set up like this: ____g_ | ___ | | | | | | | | | |X| |X| | | | | | |__| | |___ _| |y| |_| Where g is the door, the Xs are the switches, and the y is you, Kayn. The spiked ball is running along this path, excluding the tiny peninsula where you are. Wait until the spiked ball passes by, then chase after it until you have walked over both switches. Then, follow the ball around once more and exit through the disippated gate. A shadow bird will attack you. You'll kill it, just like you always do, but something amazingly new will happen this time. Press 3 to transform into a bat. You are now a tiny, purple, flappity-flap-flapping bat. Cute, huh? This guide is STILL incomplete. I’m working on it. You can press 1 to turn back into Kayn, although you have to hold it for a second. You can switch places with Ewan by pressing 0. So, fly around for a bit just to see how cool you are. Then hover over the switch and press 1. Step on the switch and a gate will disappear. Go past where it was as a bat since you can't step on the lava. Turn back into a person and step on the switch again. Ewan's gate will open up and you'll be playing as him again. Take Ewan toward the spike and get up on the ledge. Kill the shadowbirds and then go toward the wooden box. Hop on it and then towards the chest, which conceals medicinal herbs. Then hop down the ledge towards the other chest, which holds a key. Use your wind power to hit the switch nearby. It will open the door and allow you to access the door that needs the key. Walk carefully around the spikes. Ewan will have to fight a golem. When you beat the golem, a switch will appear. Kayn's gate will open up and you'll be playing as Kayn. Walk a bit and you'll be attacked by shadowbirds. Slay them and continue down the winding path. You'll have to turn into a bat to cross the lava. Be sure to avoid the spike. You'll be in an area that gives you access to three switches. Step on the oneclosest to the door first. The door will open and you'll play as Ewan. Go towards Kayn for some dialogue. Kayn: Ewan! Did you find him? Ewan: ...I had spiritual contact with the Demon Lord. Let me lead you to him. I can sense him... Kayn: This is too dangerous. Ewan: You know that I've been waiting for this moment for years!! Kayn: I need him. I can't continue on my own... Then you'll be playing again. Remember the other two switches? Put one characteron each. A door will open up. Use Kayn to cross the lava to get there. Kill a shadowbird and you'll be able to transform into fog. Kayn: Press 7 to transform into fog. Use the Wind to blow the fog through the door. Check it out. You look weird, don'cha? Once again, you'll use 1 to turn back into Kayn. Let's switch back to Ewan. Ewan can't cross the lava, so he'll have to continue up the small steps. There's a gold ring that he can use to get to that awful golem. Hit it with your wind power BEFORE you cross with the ring, or you'll be hit immediately. After you kill him, go down the steps too see Kayn. Switch back to control Kayn and turn him into fog. Then, use Ewan's wind power to blow Kayn through the gate. Make sure to send Kayn as far as he can go. Then, continue along your ledge until you are behind Kayn once again. Send Kayn through the gate again. Switch back to Kayn and turn him back into a person. Continue along the narrow ledge. You'll reach a small stretch of lava that is frequented by a traveling spiked ball. Turn into a bat to cross this. Then, turn into fog again and have Kayn send you through the gate, towards the switch. Step on it. Music plays and a spike appears above Ewan's head. Maneuver Ewan up the ledge and continue to a loading screen. You are now playing as Ewan. To your left, you'll see some lava. Up front, something spinning. And to your left, gray tile! That concludes the scenic portion of the tour. Move forward and you'll see that there's a ring you have to grab onto with your Grappling Hook. However, once you swing across you'll be hit by a golem! So here's what you do: you use your wind power to stun the golem, then quickly swing to it. If you swing slowly the golem with start swinging its giant mace again and hit you. Beware! For up there there is not only a golem, but one of those white human thingiesthat electrocute you. (I need to name then, don't I?) Once you kill the white thingy it'll turn into a box. Now you've got three boxes and a chest. In the chest is a new thing. It's... Ewan: A heart! I can use it to increase my health! So, if you need that after your battle, use it. Otherwise, start stacking the boxes.Take one box and stack it on top of the box nearest the ledge. Take the other boxand stack it close to those two boxes so that they form stairs! Climb up the "stairs" to get to the ledge. Now, it's hard to see, but there is a golden ring above you concealed by the lava. Just press 1 and Ewan will find it for you. Swing up onto the ledge. And... it's... CINEMA TIME!!! Demon Lord: You fool! You finally decided to face your destiny? Ewan: Yours is the one at stake now, demon! Demon Lord: Hahaharr!! I'll play with you for a little white before feasting on your corpse! Ewan: Prepare to die... Ok, so, the Demon Lord looks like a total hoodlum. But, then again, he is the Demon Lord. So, the low down on him is this: The Demon Lord's tactics: Ok, so it teleports away from you, and either throws fireballs at you (cue the Fire Mario sound effect) or summons what looks like a big icy ball above his head. When he teleports away again, electric stuff will strike where he stood. It really isn't all that hard to beat him. Just get close enough to him and whack him with your sword. It won't let you switch to your medicinal herbs during the battle, so be sure to have healed yourself before it. (Oh, now she tells me, right? :D) You have to get pretty close to the guy to do some damage. But once you have whacked him 3-4 times or so... Demon Lord: Rraarr!! You waste my time, little vermin! Ewan rushes after the Demon Lord, only to be blocked by a big chunk of ice. Ewan: I need fire to destroy the ice. Lucky, a chest has appeared behind you. Open it and gain a new power! Ewan: The Fire Jewel! After selecting it in the item menu, press 3 to use Fire power! So now you have the Wind Jewel and the Fire Jewel. Do you feel like you're on Captain Planet yet? Use the Fire Jewel to melt the big chunk of ice that was blocking your way. It looks like you're blowing something up. Sweet stuff. ;) Loading screen... and more cinematic stuff. The Demon Lord is fleeing, when... Kayn: You won't escape..... Demon Lord: What a rejoicing sight. My lost son is the one behind all this turmoil... (This is where you're supposed to gasp. *Gasp!*) Kayn: Don't call me your son, vile creature! You raped my mother! \Enough! Kayn goes to hit the cloaked Lord. Ewan and Lorean appear. There's more dialogue. Kayn: I never said I would be with the humans. I'll build my own kingdom, humans are only my tools... (Gasp again. ...I said GASP! *Gasp!*) Demon Lord: You are doomed, my son. Your hunger for power will consume you. Hahaharrr. Kayn: Stop it! I'm not one of your puppets! The Demon Lord disappears, but as he does, he says this! Demon Lord: It's already burning inside you, my son. It will light ablaze when you lose the rest... He fully disappears. Lorean: It's over! Come on Ewan! Lorean heads towards the door. Oh, did I mention there was a door? Ewan: We were only Kayn's tools, weren't we? Lorean: Ewan... Ewan's monologue type thing begins again. The siege on the fortress was a great victory. But peace was absent, both in my mind and in the realm. ___ | _|_TEMS (Items are in order of appearance.) Key: Opens doors.
