If you find any errors/omissions in this FAQ or have questions/comments about it, feel free to email me at broglia@wam.umd.edu. This FAQ requires a JIS capable text viewer to display Japanese characters. Internet Explorer users can download Japanese Language support from Windows Update. Also, if you aren't using Internet Explorer, you can download an external program to decode the Japanese text. One such program is available from http://www.njstar.com/info/download.htm Once you have NJSTAR program set up, open this file in a text editor such as Notepad. Internet Explorer doesn't seem to work correctly with NJSTAR so it's better to use it's internal decoding. If you don't use any sort of decoder, all the Japanese text in this file will appear as gibberish. For optimal results, view this FAQ with a fixed-width font. Special Thanks: Jhereg for the kanji translations. BobTheShrimp (bob@wam.umd.edu) for general stuff and the ASCII art. I. Walkthrough: Disc 1 -------------------------------------------- This Walkthrough only explains the correct routes you will need to take to complete any given area. It will not guide you to any treasures unless they are very obscure and would be easily missed otherwise. Racheans Forest (ラシュアンの森) -------------------------------- Items: Wood Shield, Spectacles (x2), Apple Gummy When you get control of Rid, head south and then east. You will see a small creature and talk for a bit. Follow it North. Racheans Town (最果ての村ラシュアン村) -------------------------------------- Items: Lens (Found in the basement of Rid's house), Lens (Found on the screen where the south town exit is. It is next to the mossy door of the bottom leftmost building), Apple Gummy (x4), Collector Zukan Boss 1: ???? HP 1000 Experience Gained: 300 Gald: 800 Drop Items: Life Bottle, Orange Gummy Resistances: Electricity Weaknesses: None When you get control of Rid, head south for a while and exit the town. Head to Racheans Pier. It looks like a big rock next to the water. Racheans Pier (ラシュアン河の桟橋) ---------------------------------- Head left until you reach a story sequence. When it's finished, Exit the area and head to the Regulus Gym. It is the closest location on your map from Racheans Pier and looks like a walled town with two small houses and a large gym. Regulus Gym (レグルス道場) -------------------------- Items: Lens (Found in the gym. From the entrance room head up-right into any of the three doors. In the next area, head into the 3rd door from the top and search the small box next to the larger shelf on the north side of the room), Orange Gummy Head up from the entrance and continue into the gym. Fight the enemies that attack. Concentrate on one side at a time. When you get control of Rid. Exit the room. In the area with four doors on the right, head into the bottom door. After talking, exit Regulus and go back to the Racheans Pier. Optionally, there is a hidden area in the plains south of Regulus. Just start walking from the side of Regulus closer to the mountains, head south until you hit the mountains near the coast. When you're in the right spot, the screen should fade and you will find yourself in a field with an old man standing there. Talk to him and he will give you something. As of yet, I have no idea what this does. Racheans Pier (ラシュアン河の桟橋) ---------------------------------- In the first area, head to the dock and talk to Paolo. Play the raft minigame. Push circle to accelerate and use the d-pad/analog stick to move (analog gives you better control of the raft). When you are back on the world map, head north to Mintche. It is the town on the coast that has a pier coming out of it. Mintche (学問の町ミンツ) ------------------------ Items: Lens (Found in the area behind the library where the Coolmel Ball minigame is played. It is near the tree right at the top of the steps.) Head left to the university. Once inside keep heading left into a room with three doors on the right side. Go in the middle door. Once you finish talking, head out of the town and go to Mount Mintche. It is south of Mintche and has an observatory on it. Optionally, you can play two minigames in Minche. The first is a quiz game on the 3rd floor of the university. Winning will award you a Mix Gummy and the Title of Tales Sensei. The second is Coolmel Ball which is played behind the library. More details on the minigames will be provided in upcoming versions of this FAQ. Mount Mintche (ミンツの岩山) ---------------------------- Items: Orange Gummy, Saber, Apple Gummy, Pole Axe Head up the mountain pass and push the solid stones you see into the transparent stones (to drag the stones walk up to them from any angle, hold circle and move in any direction). This will cause the stones to fall off the ledges and block the monsters from coming out of the caves. Once you reach the exit, you will find yourself on the world map right next to the observatory. Head into it. Mountain Observatory (岩山の観測所) ----------------------------------- Items: Lens (Found in the lower left corner near the chest with the Holy Bottle), Holy Bottle After the story sequence, you will find yourself back out on the World map and Keel will have joined your party. Go back into the observatory. All the chests except for the rightmost one are empty, Take the chest in the corner and then examine the area around it for another lens. Exit and go back through the Mountain pass. Once past the mountain head to the Cave of Memories. It is to the far east of the peninsula. Cave of Memories (望郷の洞窟) ----------------------------- Items: Lens (From the north exit, head east past the wall with blood stains on it. Continue north until you are in a room with a pile of wood. Search the wood), Panacea Bottle, Protector, Buckler, Orange Gummy (x2), Battle Axe, Life Bottle, Circlet, Rapier You can buy items from the person you meet at the entrance. Once inside, head east and north until you reach a camp area. You will then have to fight a monster with only Rid and Keel. He isn't to hard as long as you have enough Apple Gummies to heal yourself with. After beating it, continue north and head east when you see a wall with blood on it. Head north past the waterfall and search the pile of wood in the northernmost room. By entering the waterfall room, the earlier areas will eventually be filled with water allowing you to take the previously inaccessible treasure (A one line text message will appear when the water level rises which usually takes about a minute). When you first receive this message head back to the screen past the camp site and take the treasure there. Now, keep walking back until you reach the screen in which you started this dungeon in. You should notice another waterfall towards the top of this area. Viewing it will allow the water level to rise once again after about a minute so you will have access to the last of the treasure. Now head to the north exit of the cave. Once outside head east until you reach Moruru Village (Looks like a large tree surrounded with water). Before you enter the town, you can optionally go to a hidden area in the forest north-west of Moruru. Starting from the town, head north-west until you reach the coast, then head west to the point where the forest meets the mountains. In this area you will see the same old man from the secret area near Regulus. Again, I have no idea what he gives you or what it affects. Moruru Village (木陰の村モルル) ------------------------------- Items: Lens (Found in the fireplace of Mazzet's house) Head up and right until you see a ladder. Climb it and keep heading up until you reach the topmost area. Go into the building on the far left (the food store). After the story scene, go back down all the ladders and head right. Keep following the path until you reach a large house. Head into it for another story scene. Once you regain control of Rid, head back along the path, but this time follow the path with the sign next to it to enter a new area. Items: Knight's Saber, Piyo Piyo Whistle, Iron Sallet Just keep following Meredy and eventually you will reach a boss. Boss 2: インセクトプラント (Insect Plant) HP 8800 Experience Gained: 115 Gald Gained: 500 Attack Power: 70 Defense Power: 10 Magic Power: 0 Drop Items: Kiruma Fruit Resistances: Water (50%), Earth (25%) Weaknesses: Fire (50%) Notes: Beating it is fairly straightforward, just use your best skills and you should have no problem. Make sure to use Fireball as it is weak against fire. After you beat it, head back to Mazzet's house. You will be shown a location on the map which is your next destination. Exit the town and head north-east until you reach the River of Crystal Spirit. It looks like a small lake with rocks around it. However, before you enter, keep heading north until you see a mountainous area. There is a small path that allows you to reach a clearing in the center of the mountains. There is a secret area on the north side of the clearing. Just keep walking around the clearing until the screen changes to a field area. Take the treasure (a Poison Check) and head back to the River of Crystal Spirit. River of Crystal Spirit (水晶霊の河) ------------------------------------ Items: Poison Check (x2), Phaser Robe, Silk Cloak, Lens (Found on the first screen. Right before you cross the shallow water to get to the right edge of the area, move under the cover of the tree to the left of the shallows and search it), Mace, Iron Wrist, Mix Gummy (x2), Cincuedia, Apple Cedar This area is fairly straightforward, just make sure you explore each screen carefully to get all the treasures. Eventually you will reach a cave behind a waterfall. After going inside, you will go through a story sequence. Now you will be able to take the right path when you exit the cave. In this next area, there is a hidden treasure chest to the far right just as you enter under the cover of the trees. Proceed north and you will eventually have to battle Undine. Boss 3: ウンディーネ (Undine) HP 6800 Exp. Gained: 1360 Gald Gained: 0 Attack Power: 100 Defense Power: 268 Magic Power: 50 Drop Items: Talisman, Mental Bangle Resistances: Water (100%), Wind (25%), Earth (25%), Fire (25%), Ice (25%) Weaknesses: Electricity (25%) Notes: This battle is fairly difficult if you do not prepare correctly. Do not equip Rid with the Cincuedia, as it does very little damage to Undine because it is water elemental. You should use your best slashing weapon which should be the Battle Axe by now. You should also set your control to manual so you can jump over many of Undine's ranged attacks if you time the jumps correctly (You can also try having your entire party jump by pushing L1 and Up). Heal yourself often because Undine can quickly do large amounts of damage to multiple characters, and if you wait too long you won't have enough time to heal everyone before Undine kills one of them. Undine is resistant to all of Keel's spells so he won't be too useful (Make sure you turn off his Aqua Edge spell as Undine has very high Water resistance). Also, use Meredy's Lightning spell a lot (you should shortcut it to one of the shoulder buttons). After defeating Undine, Meredy will gain it as a summon monster along with the water elemental spell "Spread". You cannot cast Undine immediately in any battle, you must first build up it's vitality meter by casting Spread. When the words "Vitality Max" appear during battle, you can cast Undine once and deplete it's vitality bar (The word "Max" also appears below Meredy's stats). You will have to fill the bar by casting more Spread spells if you want to cast Undine again. Also, the bar is retained between battles, so you can keep Undine charged up without using it until necessary. You will also gain the "C. Cage" menu option which you can use to manage Undine and future summon monsters you acquire (I'm assuming). When you first enter this screen, you will be able to check on Undine's current level and experience points, which are gained from battles just like your other characters. The first option lets you move Undine from the left crystal to the right crystal and vice versa. I am not sure what affect this has or if this option will gain more functionality when you find more summon monsters. The second option lets you use an item on your summon monster (You can use the light blue fragment on Undine to increase it's experience points and vitality meter). The last option seems to combine the two crystals together but this seems to have no effect with just one summon monster. Once you are finished, head back to Moruru Village and go to Mazzet's house for another story sequence. Once you finish talking, talk to Mazzet again and he will give you the Monster Zukan. Now head northeast from Moruru and cross the bridge to reach the other side of the river. If you keep heading north, you will enter the Secret Forest of Izanai.
