Heroes Lore Winds of Soltia ============================================================================= Table of Contents ============================================================================= Version. .5 This first installment has an almost complete weapon, equipment, and item faq. Also a walkthrough for Ronin and partial for Reah. Last of all has a list of overall quests and monster location and drop guide. Version .8 Fixed all TOC errors I could find and divided up a few more sections. Walkthrough for Reah finished but still missing a couple of quest notes. Added new character section complete with descriptions of character, weapons and combos, along with maps of Reah and Ronin's game. Lastly anything that says ]missing[ just means I either forgot to write it down when I was going through it or just can't remember, sorry. Version .85 Added a couple of things(mainly what's just below). Corrected a few things that weren't up to par when I saw it online. Sorry Aramor's guide will be up soon, at least what I have of it. Version .99 Almost completed Aramor's Guide complete with item drop lists and quests. Dylan figured out what the letters in the ToE do so I added that to everyones guide and added him to the credits. Thanks! Updated Nord attacks, sorry had it wrong the first time. Redid Mixing guide and Guardian abilities so it's easier to read. Added which monsters are poisonous. Found Combo 5 for Aramor, update character info. Added Nord Spawns ability to multiply if not killed after so many attacks. Added new leveling guide(Nord Spawns). Version 1 Finished Aramor's walkthrough(as far as I can get). Added new item drop from Fire Golem. Added what abilities weapons have(unidentified). New drops for Living Chain and Burning Horror. Finished refining guide. Version 1.01 David Velasquez found a new rare spear for Reah Unicorn's Horn. Thanks! Getting a new cell phone in the next week. If it works with Heroes Lore then I'll be able to try a few things I wasn't able to before and hopefully give more of an update. Version 1.1 Somebody discovered Aramor's Sword of Revenge. Appreciate it! [if you are him re-email me. I guess I have lost it, sorry] Added a completion percentages section to game mechanics. Sorry only Ronin. Added a separate Boss Faq and included Rocky and Nord low level guides. Fixed more errors in my ToC, Sorry. Version 1.5 Finished completion percentages for all characters. Also added in all weapons and armor that has been found by other people but have yet to confirm for myself(sorry I don't have as much time anymore). Thanks to AmakusaRukia, Daniel Albavera, and Tropunks for the items and info. Version 1.6 Added and changed some equipment with the input from Chern. Thanks Version 1.61 Phung Tuan Hoang for info on the Singing Axe, Thanks. Please Read!!!! This faq was made playing version 0.0.2 It is the one I downloaded from my service provider. Since HandsOn isn't replying to my emails I have searched and found up to version 2.1.7 in Italian version 2.1.4 in English. I am currently playing through that one to see if there's anything different. So far I've noticed subtle differences (in the Temple of Fire there is only the light crest instead of finding both pieces to make the light crest) but nothing too significant. If anything is out of place or different with yours please email me so I may look into it. I will be trying to contact EA(they just bought out HandsOn Korea which is where Heroes Lore was originally released)and see if I can't find out anymore info. Please any help at all from my readers would be of great help.

There are no penalties or counters for saves so don't be afraid to. -If you can't beat a boss try just leveling some. It doesn't take that long and really helps -If stuck on a quest go to your menu and go to the quest tab. When there click on the quest and most of the time it will explain everything to you. -Problems with a dungeon puzzle or trying to find an entrance or chest press 0 to check the map. Everything you need will be colored blue. -Don't forget you can power up weapons and armor by refining. It won't show up on the item stat screen but if you check your personal stats before and after you will see. -Orbs are nice at times too. Really only a few have very useful effects. But they do help. -Taking advantage of the elements has great results especially at higher levels. Water to Fire, Earth to Water, Fire to Earth. -At the Guardian select screen I recommend Water and Earth. Water you use at the first temple, Earth you use at the second. You don't need Fire until the last. Section 1.5: Leveling Really it's not hard to level high enough to have an easy time through the game. Compared to most rpg's it takes quite a while. Normally just a straight run through the game I'll end around level 42. Now for my personal preference I like to be around level 20 and with the best weapon you can buy before beating the Fire Temple. By then you should be able to complete the fire and water temples with ease and either receive better armor drops or just save up enough money. It shouldn't take any longer then a couple hours to level that high. [1st] This recquires a lot of potions, maybe 20 or 30 wines, the weakest weapon and strongest weapon you can buy. Find a good sized area with at least 2 or 3 Nord spawns in close proximity. Equip your weakest weapon and the water element. Now starting hacking away at them with combos(combos are the most effective in getting them to multiply). After you have enough of them on screen for your liking switch to your strongest weapon(and maybe earth element if you're weak) and just start killing them. After you've cleared the room they will all start to respawn(including the split ones). So just stand around and keeping hacking and slashing and healing as needed. It may take a while but you don't have to move anywhere else and normally they respawn at a nice rate so there's little to no down time. Just don't run out of potions!! [2nd] If you're a hard core gamer and want to attain a high level with the greatest weapons then you're best bet for leveling is waiting till the Forgotten Temple and just grind the Stone Golems. They offer the best experience with the quickest availability. There are 5 in the room just stock up on potions(hp and sp) and equip your fire guardian. Go in unleash a spell and just start comboing away healing as needed. Once they are finished exit, then re enter, then repeat. I am currently at level 56 and it takes me 15 to 30 minutes to gain 1 level. I'm not sure yet how high the levels go but just be warned it's a long grind to the top.

Use the key and head to the north. SAVE then head onto the boss. Boss Attacks: He has 3 attacks, in order he starts out teleporting around the room which if you get hit by his fire it will hurt you, next he will stop and do a flame attack that goes out like a cross, then staying in the same spot he does a major flame attack which unless you are within 1 or 2 squares of him it won't affect you but is the strongest of the attacks. After the last one he pauses for a second and that's your opening. 2.1e Basto Head back to Basto. Talk to the village Chief. Then go to Ronin's house then back to the village chief's. Talk to him twice to start two quests.

Can't complete the reference book quest until after the Temple of Earth. 2.1l Journey to the Temple of Earth Head out of Solum then head to the east to Hunter's Camp to do the Missing Fiance quest. Then go back and head up to the Temple of Earth. Tip: The Temple of Earth has the highest level monsters in Ronin's game. If you haven't been taking advantage of the elements in the other temples it's a really good idea here. Also Read the Boss Faq before leaving Solum to see how many potions you will need. 2.1m Temple of Earth [1st floor] Items: Orb of Faint Recipe From the first room head north. From here you'll want to head to the east, then north(to the east leads to the treasure chest), then north again.

The overall objective is to visit all three rooms and touch the circle on the ground then head to the circle in the middle to fight all 3 guardian bosses of the game. To the west is Fire Golems, north is Ice Golems and Nord Spawns, the east is Stone Golems. Now this is the best place to level and mine mithrils and 2 unidentified items(Hero's Shield and Grim Ripper, look in tips section). By now you should be high enough level you can just hack and slash through the fire and water guardians then just use the previous strategy for the earth.

But on an upside he does start out with his level 2 combo. Downside is you can't buy any weapons or armor before the first boss. Best equipment you can get at this point is an Estoc, Hard Buckler, and Chain mail. Also you can obtain the Sword of Fear this early in the game but you'll have to spend a lot of time killing the one Fire Golem repeatedly to do it(plus can't use it till afterwards so you can unidentify it).

The south east exit just leads to a potion. Grab the Key and head through the north to the boss room. 2.3c Journey to Basto Head south out of the Temple of Fire then south once more to Basto. 2.3d Basto Items: 300g, Orb of Fatigue Recipe First to Lesley's house to gather the items.

Head back towards the middle to the 3 pillars and insert it to the middle pillar. Go back east again across the newly formed bridges and grab the Broken Lever and another Blue Brick. This one goes in the middle pillar too. Now to the west side and obtain the last Blue Brick and 2 more Levers. Insert the last brick into the middle pillar and continue down the stairs. [2nd Floor] Items: Mithril, Wine, Silver, High Potion, Ruby, Emerald....... From here head over to the pillars and first insert all the broken handles into each pillar. After that here are the combinations and where they lead and what's in them(anything not listed is just a repeat of a previous one}: 1on 2off 1off - Mithril, Wine, Crowling Head, Nord Spawn 1on 2on 3off - Silver, Crowling Head, Hydra 1on 2on 3on - High Potion, Potion, Ice Golems 1off 2on 3on - Ruby, Templer Knight 1on 2off 3on - Emerald, Ice Golems, Boss Chamber 2.3k Journey to Locus Just head east out of Lake Locus then south from there to Locus. 2.3l Locus Items: Orb of Rage Recipe Here just go to the public office and speak with the refiner here. Afterwards head back north out of town. 2.3m Journey to Solum From East of Lake Locus just keep going east until North of Morionis Forest. Start heading towards Solum and you'll see Nigel and Greg there. Talk to them. Note: During the questioning at Hunters Camp. Do not save when given the chance to move around. If you do and Reload you will be stuck in the shack. It's what happened to me lol. 2.3n Journey to Path in Central Mountains Items:Greaves Now you're not going to the Forgotten Temple as in the other ones. There's Another part of the Central Mountains you haven't been able to access before. From Hunters Camp just head west out of there then south to Solum. Now use the gryphon and go to Basto. Head north out of town then north once more. Now press 0 and you will see an exit to the east. Go through that and you'll be in the Central Mountains. Go into the Mountains. 2.3o Central Mountains Bf Items: High Potion, High Potion I cannot stress this enough. Be Careful!!!! There are the strongest monsters here. They have high defense, attack, and no elemental weaknesses. Most of all be careful of the White Shadows. They are invisible and they spawn quickly as well as hit hard. I have 61 defense with 171 attack and they do 120hp damage. Living Chains are not a huge threat unless they gang up on you, or you forgot to grab pots. Burning Skeletons are second worst. They hit hard and have a good amount of defense. I recommend being at least level 40(depending on where you put your stat points). I also recommend at having at least the best of everything you can buy. Also Do not engage the White Shadows unless you are very confident or have a lot of potions and wines with you. To get through here all you have to do is keep heading south. Then once you reach the end a cutscene will induce. Once it ends you have to go back. Once you reach the first room you'll encounter an enemy and be forced to fight Geb. Watch the cutscenes to fill in most blanks about the story line. Section 2.4: Boss Faq 2.4a Rocky Attacks: He has 3 attacks, in order he starts out teleporting around the room which if you get hit by his fire it will hurt you, next he will stop and do a flame attack that goes out like a cross, then staying in the same spot he does a major flame attack which unless you are within 1 or 2 squares of him it won't affect you but is the strongest of the attacks. After the last one he pauses for a second and that's your opening. 1st: Wait for the opening in the attacks to do a two hit combo then move. If you're having trouble dodging his teleports try moving southward as soon as you see him disappear and he should appear just north of you. It's not worth the risk to attack any other time then the opening I had said before. 2.4b Nord Attacks: This one has two different forms but the same basic attack. 1st form shoots 3 Ice bolts at you while moving from left to right at the top of the screen. The 2nd looks like a giant squid, and shoots 5 bolts but doesn't move left to right. Instead has 2 tentacles on either side. The left one can attack you anywhere on screen and the right one heals all 3 of them. 1st: About the only strategy is equip your Earth element and start with the healing tenticle. If you have it use you're Protection of Earth to help soften the blows. If not ,especially at low levels ,he heals just too quickly. After that either go after the side or the middle.. 2.4c Geb Attacks: He has 3 attacks and 3 sections total. He has his head, 2 hands, and his heart(they call it Geb(hack). His attacks follow: both hands smash but the one on the right has a close range attack and a far away attack and alternates between the two, and the third attack his head comes down and breathes 3 sets of rocks at you. His third attack he does 3 times then stops for you to attack him. It's the strongest if you touch his head as it's motioning downward. I have found 2 strategies that work for him. On a side not his hands can only be killed with Hestia's Fire Shield ability. It takes a while and doesn't give any experience but they can be killed. 1st: If you have plenty of money stock up on tons of health potions. When you get to the boss wait for him to do his head attack. When he stops just go up to him and continue to unleash combos. Once he rears his head back to start the attack again start hitting the potion button till he knocks you back. If you fail to hit it he will probably kill you. Then just repeat the attacks. 2nd: If you don't have the money or don't want to waste it on that just follow this one. Buy at least 50 health potions(you will need some regardless) then head back. You stand just a little outside his reach, not too far or you'll lose out on some attacks, and wait for his head to stop attacking. Go up to him and use your strongest fire spell then hit him 3 or 4 times then run back. If your quick you can get off a whole combo but be careful. Then just repeat the process. When your strong spell is recharging then just use the one before it. It takes a little bit of time but is the safest. After you beat his head it drops to the ground and you have to enter his head. Once inside there's a glowing orb in the middle and 4 Geb Spawns around it. Don't worry about them just run up to the middle and use your strongest fire spell and start hacking away with your combos. Keep an eye on your health and alternate between attacks and spells until it's dead. Section 3: Quests The Main quests are the ones you complete to continue on with the story and are mandatory.

*Poisonous(chance of Poisoning when attacking)
**Invisible monster, have to run into it
***Able to multiply if hit multiple times but not killed. If you talk to
   one person in Solum they mention a monster that splits if not killed in one
   hit. I think they are referring to them. Going to double check the other
   spawn monsters as well.
   (to get this to work equip a weapon you can combo with but not kill them
   I had a short sword with water element equip. Find a place with 2 or 3
   in proximity to themselves and just start hacking away. Make sure you have
   plenty of wines and potions with you, seems you need to combo for it to be
   really effective. As you combo for so long more will start to appear. I've
   counted up to 15 at one time on screen. Best part is that after they split
   they act as normal respawn monsters so all of them will respawn after so
   long.)






Section 6: Equipment and Items
I will update this as I find more. From what I can tell there is a dull and
strong version of almost every weapon. Also the weapons dropped by monsters
have stat raising abilities. It's pretty much luck of the draw which stats
you receive. Only the unidentified items come with orb abilities.
TIP: Equipment and weapons also sell for 20% of what you bought it for.

Section 7.1: Stats
These are labeled as accumulative. Each time it changes it only increases
by 1 from it's previous.
Stat      Points       Raised Stat  Notes
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hp        1            12           When you level you gain 1 Imaginary point
Sp        1            12           in Hp and Sp. Also you start with 1 given
                                    point in Hp and Sp.

Power     2            1Att.        Power is unique and follows this pattern
          3            2            and repeats. First 4 raise attack by 1
          4            3            then stays the same for 1 point. Also for
          5            4     1Def.  defense every 5 points in power increase
          6            4            it by 1.(that explains why Reah would have
          7            5            0 without armor)

Defense lv.3           1Def.        Every 3 levels it increases it by 1.
        lv.6           2Def.
        lv.9           3Def.




7.2 Refining
Refining does increase attack/defense. It will however not show up on it's
stats page but will effect your personal stats. 

7.2a Weapons
Weapons refine in a 3, 2, 3 series. First upgrade adds 3 to attack, second
adds 2, third adds 3, fourth adds 2 and so on. On another note refining does
not add to sp usage. So you can level up freely without fear of using more sp
per attack. 



7.2b Armor
[Armor]
Armor goes up by 2 defense per level every level.

[Shields]
Shields on the other hand only go up by 1.


Section 7.3: Weapons vs. Sp Usage
There are two types of attacks I've measured so far, weak and strong. I have
the weak figured out but still working on the strong and combo effects. I do
have most strong attacks so I will list what I have as well. I haven't been
able to figure out a pattern though.

Weak attacks use 1 more sp per 4 attack strengths. The weak sp will be listed
first and strong second.
