The terminology used in the Japanese version may be different than the official English localizations'. In the walkthrough, both the official English names and their original Japanese equivalents will be used. As you proceed through the walkthrough, beware that this guide may not be entirely spoiler-free, although I try to keep out the vital points. Some details may still be written into the guide. There are multiple endings in Ar Tonelico Qoga/III. The endings will be listed in the last section of this walkthrough, or AT3End, for the short code. The guide will detail how to obtain different endings. The guide will also cover most, if not all, events in the game. If you are still reading this section, thank you. You must be an extremely patient person. Get yourself a cookie. =============================================================================== 3.1) Phase 1 - Gamma Sublimed AT3Ph1 =============================================================================== The game opens with a cutscene, before switching to a text event. After you take control of Aoto, our protagonist, you can stroll around your fasinating 2D-illustrated room, or you can head out and begin yet another cutscene. As soon as you head out of the room, you will immediately find a blonde-haired girl and a muscular man in an argument. It turns out that this muscular man is in fact, a woman. She immediately becomes enraged by the fact that Aoto mistook her as a man. A boss fight starts soon afterwards with a short tutorial that comes before it. ******************************************************************************* Boss Fight: Mute (ミュート) x 1 (HP: 190) ******************************************************************************* If you selected "Hard" as your difficulty, this first boss battle is going to be really hard, if not impossible. Otherwise, there is not much to explain in this boss battle here. Just keep hitting square to hit her, while dodging her attacks by running away from her. She will be defeated within a couple successful hits. After you finish the fight, we continue into the event cutscene. I should also note that the woman you just beat is in fact voiced by the same seiyuu (voice actor) of Pikachu. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Location: Blue Canyon Hamlet (蒼谷の郷) Objective: Head to the Bus Terminal (バスターミナル) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As you leave the cutscene, you arrive in the village. If you prefer, you can walk into the house to the left, and talk to the front desk to either rest, view your current objective, save, or load. This inn serves as a save point. After you save here, head back outside and go to the right to the bus terminal. We will get into yet another conversational scene (this isn't exactly a VN part if you are an enthusiast like me). Here, we meet Tatsumi, a V-Boarder that started living in town a month earlier. Aoto introduces the two, before a few Clustanian soldiers shows up. Tatsumi offers to help Aoto, and we head into a battle. Here, Tatsumi is controlled by an AI. You can switch to him easily by pressing triangle to bring up the menu, and switch to him as your party's leader. Like the last battle, you can simply win this fight by smashing your square button. If you want to save yourself some HP, though, be sure to dodge the soldiers' attacks, which comes usually after two or three hits you give them. Immediately after this, the soldiers summon a robot into the scene. It turns out that Saki is a Reyvateil, and offers to help with the fight. You will notice in battle that there is a "heroine field" around Saki. In this field, you can heal your characters, which comes as an advantage. Be sure to avoid any enemies heading into this field, however, as it damages Saki's health. If this happens, an alarm sound will ring. When you hear this, you can press O to give the enemies a blowback, knocking them out of the field. This battle isn't much different than the ones we had before. Concentrate on the two soldiers first before focusing on the robot. A slightly NSFW cutscene will occur immediately after the battle. After the cutscenes, Aoto and Tatsumi escape to a tent. Here, Tatsumi suggests the party should first get some rest. Head into the "save circle", and pick the first option. The party decides to head to Eternus Shaft the next day in order to learn more about Saki. After this, we head into another text scene. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Location: Blue Heaven Trail (蒼天の道) Objective: Head to Eternus Shaft (トコシヱ隧道) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- After you regain control, if you rest in the tent you can initiate your first late night rendezvous with Saki. This is known as the "Talk Topics" System, which allows you to talk to heroines during breaks or sometimes in dungeons. It's not necessarily a requirement for you to read through all of them, but they add interesting stories and jokes to your playing experience. You can tell whether a heroine wants to talk to you by bringing up the main menu. A "talk" status will show up next to her icon if a heroine does wish to talk with you. Talk matters will be listed in the Charts/Lists section, specifically . Going back to the game, head left as soon as you are done with your business at the tent, and climb the ladder as you reach the end. You will see a treasure crate on a cliff. As you won't be able to reach it, climb down, and head to the ladder that reaches down, where you will be able to find another crate, a Rescue Injection (レスキュー注射). Climb back up afterwards, and head to the other ladder that reaches above. This will initiate another cutscene. After this, climb to the top. You will see a buddha-style sculpture. First, walk across the bridge, you will be able to find a crate that contains a Crab Claw Sword (クラブハンドソード) Equip this as Aoto's weapon. Now head back to your right, and jump down to reach the crate we saw earlier, which contains a Kiai Belt (気合の帯). Equip this accessory to Saki. Reaching back to where we were when we first see the sculpture, climb up the ladder and cross the bridge. This leads us to yet another ladder, which in turn leads to a treasure chest containing a Bronze Material (ブロンズマテリアル). Now, to get back to the story, turn back and head up the stairs. Save at the save circle, and read the talk matters if you want to. Afterwards, climb up the stairs and an event will be initiated. Inside the house, we meet a monk, who Tatsumi has known since before, and the party stays overnight to catch some sleep. However, at night, an assassin called Soma, who Tatsumi refers as Clustania's best, comes to attack the party, before he or she escapes upon seeing Saki starting to pray. Heading off, we reach a boss fight with an Assassin left behind by Soma. Physical attacks won't harm the assassin in away, leaving us no choice but to use Saki's stri- err... attacks. Remember, He who controls stripping controls the battle. After we finish the boss fight, we are free to roam around the dungeon before we reach yet another event of a girl hanging onto a cliff. Continue down the path towards a save point and head up the ladder, you will then see another cutscene where Aoto and the gang quickly help the girl get off. It turns out that this girl, Finnel, lives in the same shaft that the party is heading to. Immediately after you regain control, head back down the ladder and continue downstairs and turn to your right. You will find another crate containing a Bronze Material (ブロンズマテリアル). Right below it will be two other crates, containing a Weakness Detector (光学式弱点探知レンズ) and a Tsurugi 07. Equip the first one to whoever you wish to, but the latter to Tatsumi. Now, continue going down again, and you will find a ladder that leads to a chest containing a Big Ribbon (大きなリボン). After that, run to your left and head downstairs. There are two staircases here, but take the one to the right first to get yourself to two treasure chests containing another Bronze Material and Bitter Capsule (苦良薬カプセル). Afterwards, head back to the staircases, take the one to the left, and walk downstairs and then left to the world map. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Location: Eternus Shaft (トコシヱ隧道) Objective: Head to Dr. Gojo's Clinic (光五条診療所) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As soon as we enter the map, Finell will leave the party. There's nothing we can do about it. First, go to Waterforest Square (ミズモリ広場), and head to the store in the middle of the town. You will get a talk matter from the glow on the ground. Next, go to Puca Puca Inn (宿屋「ぷかぷか亭」) to save or view your Talk Matters. When you are done with that, head outside and turn right and walk through the MGS1-esque tunnel. When you head outside, an event will start automatically. It turns out that the doctor is not there. As such, the party decides to wander around town. Before we do that, return to the clinic via the town map. This nets us another Talk Matter. After that, go to Waterforest Square again. Another short event will start. After that, head into the restaurant downstairs. Here, we will find Finnel talking to our doctor, Dr. Gojo, before she quickly runs off. Dr. Gojo suggests Saki to stay overnight in the clinic, but the party doesn't have the cash to pay up. As such, he offers to let her stay for free in exchange for Aoto and Tatsumi's help. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Location: Eternus Shaft (トコシヱ隧道) - Puca Puca Inn Objective: Synthesize a Spunky V (シャキーリンv), and bring it to Dr. Gojo ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You are given three of each item you need to create the Spunky V drink (シャキーリンv), but you are really only required to make one. Save yourself the extras, as they will become useful later in battle. Now, pick Image Synthesis at the front desk, and start to synthesize what Saki decides to name Chintzy Powerfill (キャッキャパワフル). These names are interchangable, and you are free to call them one way or the other by pressing square to switch between them. When you leave the Inn's menu, and we will immediately be teleported back to Dr. Gojo's clinic. There, the doctor allows Saki to stay overnight, and gives Aoto a Yokkora Meal Ticket (よっこら食事券) as thanks. Before he can go out for some bite to eat, though, a guy called Luphan walks in to tell Gojo about the Clustanian army's search for Saki, and prompts Tatsumi to help his master, Rev. Gengai. Both Saki and Tatsumi will then leave your party. Go to Yokkora Bistro (定食「よっこら」), and an event will initiate. After talking to the store's owner, Finnel comes out and attempts to get Aoto and Tatsumi to hire her as a Reyvateil bodyguard, which the two do not show any interest in. As soon as you take control, buy a couple of each of the food items. You may need some of them later in the game. Next, head back to the inn and get some rest. The next day, as Aoto and Tatsumi see each other off, Luphan comes and informs them that The Clustanian army halted all incoming ships, and Saki escaped with Gengai. Aoto decides to head to Fallen Heaven Peak(堕天峰) with Tatsumi, but they also need a Reyvateil along. The three heads to Finnel's, but as she is a virgin -- a diving vigin that is, Luphan asks Aoto to do so with her. Before you do so though, get some rest at the inn first. This will trigger a conversation which enables Talk Topics with Finnel. Then go right back into the restaurant, and pick up a Talk Topic. You may want to head back to the inn and do the Talk Topics, or save before you head into the Diving store, too. After the event, talk to the guy standing in front of the enormous machine, and start diving into Finnel's mind. This section of the walkthrough is detailed in . After leaving the Cosmosphere, we will get into a Party Topic event. These events occur sometimes when we talk to people, or when we see balls of light in the field map, similar to the Talk Topics we found. Now, head off to the inn to get some rest and save, and maybe to the store to get some healing items. After this, head to the world map, and into Fallen Heaven Peak. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Location: Stairway to Fallen Heaven (堕天の道) Objective: Head to Fallen Heaven Peak (堕天峰) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- An event starts as soon as we enter. Turns out that Saki, Dr. Gojo, and Gengai are fending off none other than Mute, the muscular m- I mean... woman we saw in the beginning of the game. Our party quickly joins in the fight. ******************************************************************************* Boss Fight: Mute (ミュート) x 1 (HP: 900) Light RT (下級RT) x 1 (HP: 190) ******************************************************************************* Try to take down the Light RT first. You can do this by either just attacking her, or using Finnel's purge on her (try to aim at both Mute and the Light RT if you are going this route). Afterwards, focus on Mute. Remember to avoid her walking into Finnel's heroine field, as she can deal quite a lot of damage on her. Her constant attacks may also be able to deal quite a heavy damage on Tatsumi or Aoto, so remember to heal them if their health bar drops. After this, Tatsumi introduces us to Gengai, whom Tatsumi worries about as he was attacked by Soma. Luckily, Gengai is fine, and he suggests the party should head to the Fallen Heaven Peak (堕天峰). After the event is over, Dr. Gojo and Saki will join the party again. First, climb that ladder and get a ?Fan? (?うちわ?) from the treasure chest. Next, head to your left, and rest at the save circle, as your character's health bars are probably exhausted. Unlike usually, we head into an event, instead of Talk Matters as we are usually permitted. After the event, you gain the ability to dive into Saki's cosmosphere. You can now head back to the town to dive with her. The walkthrough for Cosmospheres are available in the bottom of the Walkthrough section, . I also suggest you to head back to Eternus Shaft's inn, as there is a Party Topic there that disappears quite shortly afterward. Talk to the old man that stands to the right side of the room. Now head back to where you were, and to the right, but take the lower path. You will find a treasure chest containing a Rare Metal (レアメタル). Now, head back to where you fought Mute, and cross the bridge. This will trigger a cutscene partway across. After the cutscene that follows, climb down the ladder, and run to your right. There will be two ladders: one heading up and one heading down. Take the one that goes upwards, as it leads to a treasure chest containing a B-Good β (ヨクナールβ). It also provides a spectacular 2D scenery, in case you appreciate them. Now, take the ladder that heads down. At the end of the series of ladders, we can find another recipe, ?Dice? (?サイコロ?). After this, head back up and continue heading to your right. Keep on following the path, and you will see a quite apparent treasure chest containing a recipe, ?Shiny Heavy Armor? (?キラキラ重装備?). Climb up the ladder, and head right, you will see another treasure chest with a ?Whistle Missile? (?ミサイル?) recipe. After this, climb up the stairs, and turn right. An event will start automatically. As the cutscene begins, we see a lot of helpless people running down. Gengai decides to talk to a few of them, who decided to submit themselves for "purification" in order to escape from the Clusterians' cleansing. After this, climb the stairs, and take the first ladder to your right to get a Snake Eyes Plate (蛇の目プレート). Yet another crate will appear in the same fashion, containing a ?Semi-Pro V-Board? (?セミプロ用ボード?). If you want to, head back down to the save circle and start making this item, as you should already have the materials. Afterwards, continue up the series of stairs, and after the fourth staircase you climb, there is another ladder to the right that leads to a Rare Metal. Lastly, you will find a chest containing a ?Fancy Scarf? (?ハイセンス首巻き?) when you finish climbing the next staircase. Before you head right, after which an event will start, I suggest you to switch to Finnel as your Ryvalteil. Here, you meet Luphan again. The party thinks there may still be people hanging in town. Before you can head inside though, two civilians with Border Disease (極限病) appear. ******************************************************************************* Boss Fight: Ultimate Border Human (極限人間) x 3 (HP: 1000) ******************************************************************************* Be extremely careful here, as the enemies here are quite resilient due to their high　HP. Use Dr. Gojo as your leader, as his attacks help reaching enemies from a short distance, and constantly use your Ryvalteil's attacks and purges. I chose to use Finnel because her attacks are in the form of linear paths, which will probably benefit you more than the small circular area that Saki's attacks are capable of, and that you are more likely to already have a higher purge level with her. Try to build up your burst and your heartbeat. This will allow you to deal a heavier damage on your enemies, and also allow Finnel to purge. Also remember to fend the enemies off of Finnel, because their attacks can also deal quite a heavy damage. Constantly use your healing items, while keeping the enemies occupied by attacking them outside of the heroine field, and you should be fine. After the battle, head up the stairs, and an event will start. After the event, climb down the ladder and head right. You will find a talk matter there. Then, head to the save circle and rest there. This will trigger a lengthy cutscene event. Afterwards, head back to the Save Circle and rest. Saki and Aoto will then have a nice bedtime chat together. Meanwhile, Gengai also asks Tatsumi to head back to the valley with Aoto, and proceeds to give Tatsumi a V-board magazine, which we can use to synthesize skills with. You may want to head back to the save circle to look at any of the Talk Topics that you may have. You may also want to synthesize the skill ?V-Board Trick 1? (?Vボードテク?) using the V-Style: Spring Issue (季刊Vスタイル春号). If you didn't make the synthesis board earlier, you should have the ingredients to synthesize this skill, otherwise you will need to wait until you can buy another V-board. When you reach the bottom of the stairs outside, the party will again decide to camp outside, even though they just slept a moment earlier. An event will trigger during the night, and after the event is over, continue back to town. Back in town, Finnel will leave the party in order to go catch up with the bistro's matters. I also suggest you to head back to Eternus Shaft's inn immediately afterwards, as there is a Party Topic there that disappears quite shortly afterward. Talk to the old man that stands to the right side of the room. If you don't see it neccessary to get 100% completition, returning to the town may still be a good idea, as you can restock or buy new items or equipments as you see fit. Now, let's head to Gojo's clinic. This will trigger a cutscene, and Gojo will start talking about how Saki may have multiple personalities. Later, as Saki and Tatsumi heads to get Finnel, Gojo also gives Aoto a "Teppo", which will collect him more data regarding our heroines' status. Right afterwards, Saki and Tatsumi barges in and tell Aoto that Finnel hasn't returned to the bistro. As such, the party will have to go around town to find her. Head to the Yokkora Bistro, the Dive Shop, and the inn. After turning to these places, Aoto decides to run outside town to search for Finnel. After the cutscene, Finnel catches up with the rest of the party, and everyone begins to plan on what to do from now on. The party decides to return to the Blue Canyon Hamlet, and in order to hide Saki's identity, her body will be locked to Sarapatra's. Before we head out, we will be able to read through another Party Topic. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Location: Blue Canyon Trail (蒼天の道) Objective: Head to the Blue Canyon Hamlet (蒼谷の郷) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- After the lengthy event, head straight back to where the tent is, and run down and then to the right to get back into the Hamlet. Before we head any further into the town, Tatsumi and Finnel will temporately leave the party. Going into the main area of the town will initiate an event, and crowds will begin to surround Aoto to congratulate them. You may want to explore the area a little, in case you didn't have a chance to last time. Afterwards, head over to Paper Scissors/God's Vale (カミバサミ), and pick up a Talk Topic for Saki, which you will have to wait until you get Saki back in order to view. After that, head into Aoto's house. This leads us to another lengthy cutscene, during which we will also earn a trophy for the first two CG illustrations we come upon in the story. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Location: Old Eternus Gallery(トコシヱ旧削坑道) Objective: Rescue everyone and escape the area ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- After Aoto wakes up, we find Yurisica, who is another one of Finnel's personalities. In order to escape from the cell, Yurisica uses a bomb that she made. Aoto finds Tatsumi in another cell closeby, and after rescuing him, he will rejoin the party along with Yurisica. As soon as you take control, get the Replica Horn (レプリカホルン) from the chest. After that, you may want to save here before venturing out of the cell. Because of the high levels of the enemies here, you may want to fight as much as possible in order to level up your characters. Chances are, you will get used to getting purges, too. Climb up the ladder, and you will immediately find a chest containing Hot Video (アツいビデオ). After that, keep following the path and ignore the stairs. The ladders leads you to a Duel Bobble (勝負ボンボン). Take the other ladder, and get the Protection Suit (防護服) from the chest there. Now, head back to the split, and jump up the stairs (you have to jump). You will reach a treasure chest containing a Human Anatomy (医学辞典:人). After that, follow the path and climb the ladder. Head straight to the bottom right to reach another crate containing an Emergency Patch (救命急所保護パッチ). Once you have everything, jump down and take the ladder down. Run toward the bottom of the screen here, and after you get the B-Good β from the chest, keep following the path, but ignore the ladder. Keep going, and you will see another chest containing a Optic Shield (光速シールド壁). Then, proceed down the ladder. As soon as you take a few steps an event will begin. Walk straight along the path, and you will reach a chest containing another B-Good β. There is also another chest to the bottom of the area here containing a Rare Metal. Now, keep following the path to the top of the screen, and another event will initiate. Here, you meet Gengai again, who was imprisoned after having his status as chairman stripped. Tatsumi will also leave the party for a short moment after the event, leaving only Aoto and Yurisica to fend enemies off. Keep following the path, and turn right after you reach the wall. Yet another event will then start, and you will get back into the town. Yurisica then explains that Finnel is actually quite weak, and it is her task to protect Finnel. She also explains that the crystal that awakens Soma's personality was forcefully installed on Finnel, and asks Aoto to take it out. Afterwards, Tatsumi and Gengai will regroup with Aoto and Finnel. The party weren't able to find Doctor Gojo, but Gengai points out that they are in Eternus, fortunately, as the doctor's clinic is here. Before you head over to there, though, there are several things that you can do. You may head over to the Dive Shop and continue through Finnel's Level 2 Cosmosphere, and also head back to the house where you first met Soma, as there is a Talk Matter with Finnel there. Once you get to the clinic, you will realize that nobody is there. As such, we will have to look for him around town. Go into the bistro, and the owner will tell you that she doesn't know about his whereabouts. She points out that the Fangers has been making a fuss the last couple days, though, and Gengai suspects that he could be hidden away by them inside their headquarters. Go back to the path to the clinic, and take the first right turn. A scene will trigger, and the soldiers will attempt to capture Gengai. ******************************************************************************* Boss Fight: Great Fang Soldier (大牙兵) x 2 (HP: 1100) Type 1 (壱式) x 1 (HP: 600) ******************************************************************************* The fight isn't terribly hard; all you need to do is to keep attacking. After the fight, head down the path, and an event will be automatically initiated. You meet up with Gojo, but Saki is nowhere to be seen. She was taken away by the Clusteranian soliders, as the doctor says, and she is probably at Ciela Gate (上帝門). Before the gang can head out, though, Eternus's mayor shows up. Turns out he is about to sign a peace treaty with the Clusteranians, and after apparently being annoyed by Gengai, another fight will begin automatically. ******************************************************************************* Boss Fight: Great Fang Soldier (大牙兵) x 4 (HP: 1100) ******************************************************************************* Again, this is nothing terribly hard, but watch out for the soldiers trying to snipe Finnel. After the battle, Ciela Pathway (上帝の道) will open up in the Eternus town map. Before you head out to that, however, go back to the intersection of the save point earlier, head down the path, and make a turn when you see a ladder. There's a treasure chest in this room containing a Proliferation Diode (拡散ダイオード). Taking the ladder here won't do us any help, so let's head back outside and take the ladder outside. This one leads us to another chest containing a Quick Loader (クイックローダー). Take that, and head up to find a ladder leading downstairs. There, we will can find a ?Medical Bag? (?医療パック?). The ladder on the other side won't lead us to anywhere useful for now, so let's walk down the stairs, and open the treasure chest containing a ?Worker Armor? (?作業用アーマー?). Now, head back into town, save, and maybe level up Finnel's Cosmosphere. After that, head over to Ciela Pathway (上帝門). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Location: Ciela Pathway (上帝の道) Objective: Head to Ciela Gate (上帝門) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Head down the path, and an event will trigger automatically when you reach the ladder. Take the ladder, and then take the next ladder to the left, you will find a treasure chest containing a ?Electric Ball? (?電気玉?). After that, head back up and take the other ladder. Open up the chest containing ?Industrial Tool? (?拡張工業用具?), and then take the final ladder down to a save point. After you rest up and save, head right to trigger another event, then head into the canal. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Location: Ciela Gate Reservoir (上帝門地下水道) Objective: Head to Ciela Gate (上帝門) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Walk along the path until you find a valve. An event will trigger where Aoto explains how you can turn valves to change the flow of water in the canal. Before you turn the valve, first head to your right, you will find a chest with a V-Style: Summer Issue (季刊Vスタイル夏号) in it. Then head back to the valve, turn it and head left. Climb down the ladder and continue along the path. When you reach a fork, take a right and follow it until you reach a valve, turn it and head back to the fork. Head north this time and head down the ladder. Follow the path and take any ladders you come across. You will find a chest with a Beast Anatomy (医学辞典:獣) in it. Head right from this chest and you will find a save circle. From the circle, take the lower ladder and follow the path up and down a series of ladders, you will find a chest with a Guardian Suit (ガーディアンスーツ). Then take the ladder to the south of this chest. You will find another chest with a ?Tablet? (?石の板?, this isn't an iPad!). Head back to the save point. Turn the valve to the east of the save point. Now head back to the save point and to the north. You will encounter two ladders here, take the one to the right. You will find a chest with a Rad Video (イカすビデオ) inside. Head down to find a chest with ?Hip Clothes? (?イケてる服?) inside. Then head back up the ladder and into Ciela Gate. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Location: Ciela Gate (上帝門) Objective: Save Saki from the Moebius Factory (刻の輪製作所) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- First, you should head to the Inn to save. Remember to talk to the blue-clothed Reyvateil so that you know not to leave any mysterious stains on the beds. As hard as this must be, you need to put away the cookie dough and chocolate syrup and leave Finnel alone and continue looking for Saki. When you head out from the Inn, you will end up on Clockwork Street. Feel free to buy anything you need then head to the left to get to the town map. From there, head to the Moebius Factory (刻の輪製作所). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Location: Moebius Factory (刻の輪製作所) Objective: Save Saki ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As you enter you'll be treated to an event. Heading north won't lead you to anywhere. So head south and out the door to find yourself an Anatomy of the Heart (医学辞典:心). Head right, up a ladder, and then to your left to find a ?High-Tech Medkit? (?高性能医療バッグ?). Now keep heading to the right to an entrance. Proceed inside, then climb up the stairs to the right, and leave the area. You can find a chest containing a ?Dragon Mouth? (?火炎放射器?). Now head back inside and to the left to find a ?Pro V-Board? (?プロ用ボード?). Head down to get outside. Take the ladder up and turn left, and you will find a chest with ?Hyper Work Tool? (?強化工業用具?). Now keeping heading right until you arrive at the first ladder. Climb down and go right, and there should also be a chest containing a ?Magic Stick? (?魔法のスティック?). Remember to also head inside to find a chest with a ?Rotary Fan? (?扇風機?). Head back outside and up the ladders. Continue to your right and climb down the next ladder to find a door that leads inside. Take the elevator downstairs and you will find a save point. After you rest and save, head north to enter another room and trigger an event. Head right until you hit a fork. Another event will trigger and you will end up in a fight. ******************************************************************************* Boss Fight: Light RT (下級RT) x 2 (HP: 1000) Type 1(壱式) x 2 (HP: 600) ******************************************************************************* This fight is easier then most of the random battles you have been fighting in this building so it should be no trouble. You will then meet up with Gojo's friend Katene. He says he knows where Saki is and agrees to help the party find her. Head right down the hall until you reach the last door, the left door is locked but the northern door is unlocked, enter and find a chest with a Criticoil (クリティカール). Head back to the hall and enter the next door to the left. You can also find a chest with a R1 Solvent (強化溶液R1) in it. Now head into the next room where Katene was, and you will find a Speed Needle (スピードニードル). Now we can head up the coridor. At the next fork you will be told to go right, so do so and enter the first door. You will find a chest with a Iron Material (アイアンマテリアル) in it. When you reach the next fork, head to your right, and you will find a ?Frozen Can?(?フリーズ缶?). After that, leave the room and go up to trigger a fight. ******************************************************************************* Boss Fight: Light RT (下級RT) x 2 (HP: 1000) Type 1(壱式) x 2 (HP: 600) ******************************************************************************* Again this should be no trouble at all. You will then find Saki sleeping. An alarm starts to go off and the party decides to get the hell out of there. Before they can, you will have another easy fight. ******************************************************************************* Boss Fight: Light RT (下級RT) x 2 (HP: 1000) Type 1 (壱式) x 2 (HP: 600) ******************************************************************************* Saki will then get a Hymn Crystal downloaded into her and you will fight another easy battle ******************************************************************************* Boss Fight: Type 1 (壱式) x 4 (HP: 600) ******************************************************************************* You now are in another room, in the middle is a large generator. Approach it and pick up a new Talk Topic. Then head over to the save point and rest up. Proceed upstairs towards the next fork. At the fork take a right and go down the elevator. Go left until you hit a fork. Take the left path and you will find a ?Industrial Armor? (?重作業アーマー?). Proceed right and up the stairs to the elevator. After you take the elevator, go right and upstairs. Eventually, the path will turn left and up. After the double staircase, you will find a chest with an Insane Video (シビレるビデオ). At the top you will find three elevators. First take the topmost one. Go right and up a ladder to find a ?Fishy Oil? (?あやしいオイル?). Then head back. Take the middle elevator and you will find nothing. Take the bottom elevator to continue on and you will reach a save point. Proceed south from the save point to find a V-Style: Fall Issue (季刊Vスタイル秋号). Go right and take the elevator to the DFP device. After a short event, a boss battle will start again with that one dude, Mute. ******************************************************************************* Boss Fight: Mute (HP: 6200) Advanced RT (上級RT) x 2 (HP: 1800) ******************************************************************************* This boss fight is not that challenging. Just keep the enemies off of your Reytaviel until they can purge once or twice, and then try and hit them all with the cast. After this fight, the DFP will activate and you will get a cutscene. You will then meet Akane, the Supreme Commander (Who sadly isn't a giant robot ;_;) Afterwards, you will gain control in the inn, go to the right to pick up a Talk Topic. Head outside and to the right to pick up yet another talk topic. There are several things that you may want to do before we head to the Morocacca Port (モロカッカ港) to board the ship to Archia. Remember that there was a treasure chest in the room that Saki was sleeping in. If you want to have every treasure chest unlocked, head all the way back there, and take the Justine Ruin(シェスティネ遺物) out of the chest. You may also want to stock up on some items and ingredents, or dive further into our two heroines. After you are all done, head to the dock using the town map, and board the ship to the next phase. This will also net you a trophy for your good work thus far, so rejoice! =============================================================================== 3.2) Phase 2 - The Arco-Clustanian Accord AT3Ph2 =============================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Location: Archia Corporarchy (アルキア株式主権市国) Objective: Head to Ogai Memorial Pre-school (謳凱記念保育園) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As soon as you regain control in Archia, the party will split up for their various matters. Saki and Aoto both stay in the party, while Richa accompanies the two. First, head to the inn and save your game. In case you missed any treasure chests on our way here, you can also find a vendor that sells some of these items close to where the inn is. Notice that you can't head into the store immediately above the inn, so let's head to Filon Cross Bridge (フィロン結橋街) instead. The item store here does sell Silver Material (シルバーマテリアル) and R1 Solvent, which you may want to stock up on for item synthesis. Also buy yourself a bowl of Thin Flavor Udon (うすくちうどん); food items often bring up new Talk Topics in this game. For spectacular upskirt views, also head to the Parie Central Station (パリエ中央駅), which triggers an event. After you are done, head to the preschool. As it turns out, there is nobody at the preschool. Aoto suggests that they should head inside to see if there is anyone, but before that, they are stopped by none other than Mute... again. ******************************************************************************* Boss Fight: Mute (HP: 6000) Light RT (下級RT) x 1 (HP: 1000) ******************************************************************************* This triggers yet another boss fight with Mute, but one thing that's different this time is that we are allowed to have Saki purge to level 4. After which, we are also allowed to use a special attack mode called Flipsphere. Take care of the Light RT first so that you can focus on Mute without having to worry about being attacked by her. Mute can deal quite a little damage here oftentimes, so watch her movements and dodge them when you need to. After you have purged three times, your next purge will take you to the Flipsphere attack mode. Try to hit every single bar here, which isn't terribly　hard with this specific piece of music. This will also maximize our attack. We are automatically brought into another cutscene after the fight, and after some delicious cake, Mute and her remaining minion will leave the scene. Over at the Archia Think Tank (アルキア研究所), we are introduced to Raphael, the head of the labs. He then asks Aoto to let Saki stay there for further checkups. With Saki being out of the party again, head back to the Eulark Inn (油楽屋). After we head into the inn, Aoto decides to look for Tatsumi as there's nothing he can do alone in the room. The Nya Nya Ya (にゃにゃ屋) will now be opened in the townmap, so let's head there. There is also a pleasant surprise within. After the cutscene, we get the key item, Chart of God (神のカルテ). Nya Nya Ya here sells the Drappy Soda (ねらねらソーダ), which you may want to stock up on if you want to synthesize a staple Ar tonelico drink later on. Also buy the Dokkoi Set (ドッコイ定食) here, which nets us a Talk Topic. We find Finnel and Gojo again as we enter the inn. Gojo doubts that Saki really belongs to the Think Tank, and then the party decides to head there. Before you head there, though, talk to the soldier at the inn, which nets us a Party Topic, (No. 05). Head to the bridge first by climbing up the swirly staircase/corridor. There is a Talk Topic outside of the Dive Shop here. Now, head inside the Think Tank, where our party is denied entry. We then meet Luphan in town, who suggests the party to sneak into the Think Tank by using the underground sewers at the preschool. Before we head inside though, talk to one of the guys guarding the Think Tank's entrance, which initiates a Party Topic (No. 02). After that, head into the sewers from the preschool. 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Location:  Archia Think Tank (アルキア研究所)
Objective: Infiltrate the Archia Think Tank and retrieve Saki
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Follow the path until it splits into two. Head west from here and turn right
when you see another fork. You can find a chest containing a Gold Material
(ゴールドマテリアル) here. Continue to follow the path and take the next right
turn.
Take the ladder upstairs, head outside, and into the next room to the right
that contains a ?Humidifier? (?加湿器?).

The huge door here is locked, so head back to where we started. Head north this
time, and ignore the first fork, which only wastes our time. Cross the bridge
that the other path takes us to, and head to the right when we reach the sewers
again, which contains a ?Drink In A Bucket? (?バケツ入り飲料?).

Now, climb the first ladder that takes us to Floor B. Turn right, and there is
a room with a chest containing ?Prism Accessory? (?プリズムアクセ?).
Another room to the other side of the corridor also has a chest with Platinum
Material (プラチナマテリアル). Climb back downstairs and take the ladder to the
left
to get to Floor A.

Immediately in front of the ladder is a room containing four treasure chests:
MSPU, Headgear (プロテクトギア), Cannon Boom  (バーニンランチャー),
and Gold Material (ゴールドマテリアル). Now, take the door next to that room,
and
a cutscene will start automatically.

Right after the cutscene, take the door to the right. There is a Heart Apron
(ハートエプロン) in the first room here, and the room to the far right here has
three chests: ?Something Button? (?ナントカボタン?), Numbing Stick
(バチバチスティック), and ?Magic Frill?(?魔法のヒラヒラ?). After this, head back
to the preschool.

After the cutscenes that follow, the Garvelt Bridge (ガルベルト鉄柱橋) is added
to our world map. Before that, let's head to the bridge, and talk to the guy
next to the item shop. This triggers a Party Topic. There are also a couple
Talk Topics and a Party Topic at the Nya Nya Ya, so remember to pick them up.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Location:  Garvelt Bridge (ガルベルト鉄柱橋)
Objective: Find Shelter for Saki
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As you enter, you will see a chest containing a Supermove Notebook
(俺の必殺技ノート). After you take it, climb the ladder, turn left, and climb
another ladder. Go right up the stairs and then take the elevator to upstairs.
You will find a chest containing a Soul Charger(ソウルリチャージャー).
Head back downstairs, and follow the path and the ladder. Jump over the ledge,
and you will find a R2 Solvent. Then, take the elevator up.

Immediately to your right, you will find a ?Drill Blade? (?ドリルブレード?).
There is also a save point near where you are. Make a save here, and then
climb up the stairs. Once you reach the top, an event will trigger.

During this event, you will have to make a choice between Saki and Finnel.
Depending on your pick, the heroine's heart point will increase by one, which
will affect the plot later in the game. After that, you will also meet
Filament, one of Saki's personalities, who will be accompanying you on your
journey up the tower.

Once you regain control, head south to pick up a Party Topic (No. 21). After
that, head up the stairs and continue left. Jump up a cliff to get a Cannon
Boom from the treasure chest. Then, head right and climb the long staircase.
Once you reach the top, an event will start.

After that is done, jump up the cliff to the left to get a ?Purifier?
(?浄化装置?). Then, use the save point to your right before heading up the
stairs. On this large platform, head right to pick up a Talk Topic, and head
up the stairs to the left.

Continue along the path until you reach the next screen. At the fork take the
stairs to the left to get a ?Leaf Box? (?リーフボックス?). Head back and
go up the staircase to the north. Continue following this path upwards until
you reach a platform with an elevator and a ladder. Take the elevator to
Kniehar Signal Station (ニェハル信号所).

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Location:  Kneihar Signal Sation (ニェハル信号所)
Objective: Take out the Prome Wall (プローム壁)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As you regain control you will be near a convient save point. After using it,
head left, after entering the next room, climb a cliff and a ladder to get a
?For Fiesta?(?お祭り用?). Then return to the save point and head right.
After a short event, you will end up in a battle.

*******************************************************************************
Boss Fight:
   K-01 (HP: 5500) <= I keep reading that as K-On
   Advanced RT (上級RT) (HP:1800)
*******************************************************************************

This battle is fairly easy, but do keep an eye on the K-01 if your characters
are not exactly high in defense. Afterwards, Gengai will hold off the
reinforcements as you continue to head onwards. You will now need to get to the
two power generators powering the shield protecting the control room. Go down
and up the right staircase. Climb a series of ladders until you see a terminal
on the upper wall. Interact with it to disable the shield around the chest
below. Before you go back, climb up the last ladder to get a ?Rich Sack?
(?リッチなふくろ?). While heading back down, open up the chest that is now
unshielded to get a Big Book of Soma (医学辞典:体). Continue
down and head to the left side this time. This side is identical to the right,
except for the items being a Platinum Material and a V-Style: Winter Issue
(季刊Vスタイル冬号).

Now head into the control room. After you meet up with some old friends from
AT1, they will run off and you will need to follow them. After you regain
control, head left and then down the stairs. You will end up in a boss fight.

*******************************************************************************
Boss Fight:
   K-01 (HP: 5500)
   K-11G (HP: 8800)
*******************************************************************************

This battle is fairly easy as long as you use your purges correctly (while not
missing twice on level 4 like I did >_>) and avoid being attacked. After you
regain control, head back upstairs to the control room, and find yourself a
Talk Topic where Luphan was. Then, you need to flee the station. Head south
until you get to the save point. Here head into the door. After you arrive back
in Garvelt Bridge, head to the right and down the long staircase. At the fork,
keep heading straight to get back down. When you reach the platform where you
found the Talk Topic, you will see J&K escaping. After the short cutscene, keep
heading down and get back to the base.

After you return to base, you will learn that Luphan has acquired the password
to enter the Tower. So as you can easily guess...its time to climb the Bridge
again! For those of you who have chosen Finnel in the decision earlier, you
will net yourself a CG and trophy for compensation. Now, as you have already
gone through here twice, I am going to skip ahead to when you reach the top
again.

When you reach the save point at the Station, head left and go through the
doors this time. Head right until you reach another door. After an event,
Finnel will be left behind by your party.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Location:  Lymph Vessel (リンパ管)
Objective: Find the source of the hymns
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Note that you can return to the world map from here, in case you want to take
care of anything, such as diving or restocking items. From here, keep heading
left and ignore the first platform. You will find a chest with Battle Tape
(バトルテーピング) here. Return to the horn you were running past, and look for
a circular platform to the right of it, take this upwards.

The blue device on the platform to your left turns the handle, activate it
twice and jump on it to get to the platform to your right. You will find two
items here, a ?Revival Flute? (?復活の笛?) and a Mandragora (マンドラゴラ).
Go back from here, and activate the device twice again to cross to the left
platform. Continue left and fall into the trumpet.
Head right and activate the blue device before crossing to the next platform.
Activate the next blue device once and on the right platform you will find a
?Blind Mask?(?ブランドマスク?). Activate it once more and head into the open
area.

Turn left when you reach outside; going towards the screen leads us to a dead
end. Keep running left when you reach the fork, and climb the cliff on the
left. Jump over the first cube, and again over a second cube. You will find
a chest containing a Numbing Stick (バチバチスティック) here. Head back down
and jump over the couple cubes to the left. After climbing some cliffs you will
reach a fork. Take the upper one and follow the path. You will arrive at
another fork. Climb the left cliff to get a ?Spray?(?スプレー?). Now head right,
and take a left into the door.

After a long cutscene, our party returns to Archia. As is suggested, head to
the Inn and get some rest. If you chose Saki in the decision we had earlier,
you will also be able to enjoy a nice little story accompanied by a CG and
trophy. After having rested up, head to Nya Nya Ya and Tatsumi will rejoin you.
Next, head into the Bridge, and find Gojo and Gengai in an argument. After a
somewhat romantic scene, the party will again make a stay at the inn again,
After a certain scene, you will net a CG and trophy again.

After the lengthy events, it is time to head to the V-Board Racetrack. After a
short dialog, you will be treated to a nice animated movie. Afterwards, Tatsumi
will now "disappear" from the party, and a girl named Cocona will join in his
stead. Finnel will also join your party again, and you will also get another CG
and trophy. Don't you love those trophies?

Back in Archia, Cocona will recive a SORA101 V-Board from Sasha, so remember to
equip that. After the event, return to the inn and talk to the soldier. This
will unlock the Party Topic (No. 06). Also remember to restock on any items you
need before you continue your journey.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Location:  Lymph Vessel (リンパ管)
Objective: Infiltrate Clustania
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We'll be treated to a cutscene as soon as we enter. After you regain control,
head upstairs using the device on the platform. From here, head back to where
we first met Tylia. We can find a Soul Charger (ソウルリチャージャー)
and ?Injector? (?注射器?) there. After that, head all the way back to
where we came here from, except head south after you climb down the ramp.
There will be elevators here that take you back upstairs.

Follow the path here, and climb up the ramp. Inside, pick up the Talk Topic,
and head outside again. From here, head west, where we can find a chest with
a Rainbow Coat (?レインボーコート?). After that, keep running towards the
screen,
and we can find a Platinum Material sitting in the corner. Now, head west, and
jump up the cube. Follow the path, and ignore the elevators here. Climb up the
ramp, head east and around the pillar. There will be a Ice Pop Can (氷結膨張缶)
here. Next, climb up the cube, and there will also be a chest containing
a ?Popular Hat? (?大人気帽子?) in the end.

Now head back and take the lift. Immediately to your right is a ?Make Believe
Set? (?ままごとセット?). Take that, climb upstairs, and head inside. Here,
take the elevator at the end of the path, and activate the switch at the end
here. This will activate a bridge for us. After that, activate the switches
that serve as elevators and follow the path. Make a save when you reach the
save point, and head over to the door. I'd also suggest you to install the
personality initialization patch for Harvestasha if you are on your first
playthrough.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Location:  Slave District (スレイヴ街区) - Chamber 17 (17号房)
Objective: Infiltrate Clustania
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After the long events, you'll wind up in the Slave District. Here, you will
also need to decide whether you care about Saki or Finnel more, again. Talk to
the machine here, which instructs you to relax inside. If you try to run out,
you'll be denied access, so let's go for the machine, which initiates another
lengthy cutscene.

After you regain control, head to Chamber 16 at the end of the road first,
where you can find a mindless zombie sprouting propaganda and a Gold material.
Then, head into Chamber 23 across the street, where you can find another Gold
Material in here. Now head down the manhole and into the sewers. This specific
part is straightforward, so head for the next ladder you see. You end up in
Chamber 14, which contains a chest with ?Mode Clothes? (?モード系の服?).

After the short scene, head back, and into Chamber 21 immediately next to the
open area, where you can find a Stress Doll (ストレス発散人形). Next, head south
after you climbed down the stairs. There are Anti-Grav Gloves (反重力グラブ)
in Chamber 9, mindless Reyvateil and Shockback Band (衝撃反射アームガード)
in Chamber 8, Soul Charger in Chamber 7, and--ignoring the stairs and at the
end of the alley, Inverse Chip (インバートチップ) in Chamber 6.

Now, follow the path and through the back alley. Head south when you hit the
main road, and there will be a sane man but nothing else. Instead, head into
Chamber 11 across the road, where you reunite with Saki, and net yourself a CG
and a trophy again. Afterwards, head into Chambers 3 and 2 on the same side of
the street, both of which contain Plantium Materials. Then, climb down the
manhole at the open area, and find yourself a ?Sowing Machine? (?散布マシーン?).
Lastly, for some reason, there is also a weapon store in Chamber 4, where you
can buy weapons and armors that you should already have.

Now head back to Chamber 11 and into the manhole. If you keep heading straight,
there is a ladder to Chamber 1, which has a Talk Topic and ?Roller Skates?
(?ローラースケート?). Head back down and to the right when you hit the fork, and
you can find a ladder to above ground. Chamber 12 directly below has a Heart
Apron, while Chamber 10 next door has nothing, and Chamber 15 directly next
door resides our always smiling Dr. Gojo.

Run back to where we last saw our friend Mute, and into the room directly next
to where she was, which has a Soul Charger. Now, go down into the manhole Mute
was standing on, and when you hit the first fork, there will be a Numbing Stick
to your right, and a V-Style: Extra Issue (Vスタイル増刊号). Take the ladder at
the end of the path here, and find yourself a ?Freaky V-Board?
(?マニア用ボード?).

After you take the other ladder to above ground, head into the room next to the
manhole you, where we meet up with Finnel and Cocona. Then, head over to the
save point and save, read Talk Topics, or synthesize. Should you find
synthesizing a boring task, there is also an item shop in the chamber next to
it. Now, head down the stairs and follow the path. Here, we meet... you guessed
it, Mute again!

*******************************************************************************
Boss Fight:
   Mute (HP: 15000)
   Light RT (下級RT) x 3 (HP: 1000)
*******************************************************************************

This battle shouldn't come as a surprise, and by now, you know the drill. Take
care of the Light RTs first, and then after that, focus on Mute. You probably
won't even have to use flipsphere in this fight.

After the fight, a cute little girl emerges from where Mute was, and we learn
about the fate of one of our old acquaintances. After which, our party
continues their journey into Clustania.

===============================================================================
3.2) Phase 3 - The Rinkernator                                           AT3Ph3
===============================================================================

We emerge in an area that resembles an underground tunnel. Follow the path here
and you can find yourself a save point. From here, keep heading right and then
down. Follow the path from here and we wind up in a town not unlike Saki's
cosmospheres, Promenade (プロムナード).

Head up from here, where you can find a Party Topic (No. 22). You can also find
Talk Topics by the stairs at the inn, inside the weapons store, and next to the
railing at Paseo Street (さんぽ通り).

After that, feel free to browse around town for restocking items, synthesizing,
diving (you should have finished level 5 for both heroines by now), or simply
strolling around and talk to people that hate you. After you are done, walk
inside the governate.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Location:  Executive/Clustania District (クラスタニア行政区)
Objective: Meet Harvestasha
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Immediately after you walk inside, you'll be treated to a short event. Note
that despite Finnel mentions our party is here to pay Harvestasha a visit,
the resident Reyvateil here will still arrogantly attack us. Head west from
the elevator, and head into the room, where you can find a treasure chest with
?Sparkling Water? (?ソーダ水?). Next, take the eleavtor in front of the room.
Head south when you reach the second fork, where you can find a chest
containing ?Fishy Powder? (?あやしい粉?). Downstairs, keep heading east and skip
the elevator that we saw before. When you reach the next fork, head north into
the room, where you can find yourself some Raw Meat (生肉), and then into
the room to your right, where there is a chest with ?Incense? (?お線香?) in it.

Skip the elevator that head downstairs, as that takes us back to the tunnel we
were in at the beginning of the phase. Return to the eleavtor we saw at first,
and take it to upstairs. Go north and then take the narrow path to the right,
where you can find a room with a ?Precious Metal Suit? (?貴金属スーツ?). Now,
take the path next to the eleavtor, which leads us to another room with Yuteria
Material (ユーテリアマテリアル) and Synchro Evo Sap (共鳴進化樹脂).

Now, go back to the eleavtor and head south. Finnel kindly tells us here that
we can get to Harve-sama's residence by heading right (not in their
perspective, but yours) and taking the elevator, but let's take your path to
their right (your left) for our purposes. Take the eleavtor, and head left west
and to the north, where you can find a chest with Headgear. Then, take another
elevator to upstairs, where there is a ?Pistol? (?ピストル?). There is also a
door to the north of the elevator, but Finnel wouldn't let us head inside.
Let's please her, and go to Harvestasha's.

Return to where we were, and head right as Finnel asked us to. Take the
elevator here, and run to your right after we get out. We can find a chest with
Gold Material in the room. Then, take the left and follow the path, and you'll
reach a room with R2 Solvent and Platinum Material in it. Now, there are two
elevators, one to the north of the one we took, and another to the south. Take
the one to the north, and head right when you reach the intersection. There is
a Cannon Boom in the chest here. Next, run to the left and pass the
intersection, and up when you reach the fork. Head south from here, where you
can find a chest containing Soul charger. Then, follow the path that forked
away, and you can find a Mandragora and a room with Ice Pop Can.

Go back to the elevator I mentioned earlier, and take the elevator to the south
this time. The path again splits into two here. Take the right path, and you
can find a room with three chests: a Numbling Stick, a Don't Turn Fan
(ローリングスライサー), and a Heart Apron. Now, take the path to the left. You
will
come across a large opening to the side, where there is a room at the end
containing a Shockback Band and Stress Doll. Now, follow the path and take the
elevator. There will be a chest containing Battle tape to the left when you
reach the intersection. Take that, and follow the path to the right, and then
go south, where you can find a Rainbow Coat.

Now, head north, and make a save at the save point. If you are on your first
playthrough, and had installed any of the personality patches, I highly
recommend you to install the default patch before heading inside the room.

After the rather emotional cutscene, Finnel and Cocona will be taken out of the
party. Take the elevator downstairs. Our party then meets up with Richa and
Katene, and after another scene, we are back upstairs again. We then find Soma,
who suggests Aoto to head to Akane's home.

At night, Aoto walks into to the room as Finnel wakes up, and the two also
watch the stars together. The next day, Akane agrees to take the party to the
Rinkernator in order to help Finnel, but before that, head upstairs into her
room, where you can find a Talk Topic next to the desk. You will find that
everybody in town has mysteriously fallen unconcious. Why Aoto is surprised at
this when he had already seen this on his way here is also a mystery.
Regardless, this means that there are currently no services available in town,
so you may want to backtrack to Archia for their lodging, wholesales, or diving
services.

Now, let's head back to where we found the ?Pistol? above, and open the door to
where Finnel stopped us before. A short cutscene will initiate as we step in.
After that, check with the circular counter to the left, and head upstairs.
Head up and check the exploded tank out, and then head over to the save point
on the other side. After you are done with whatever you need, head upstairs

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Location:  Tower Block A (塔A区画)
Objective: Goto the Rinkernator
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Head to the platform to your right, where you can find a lift to upstairs. Take
that, and Akane will advise you that the path to Rinkernator is to your (and
their) right. There is nothing to the left here, so let's do as her say, and
head outside.

Let's first take the lift up when we get outside. This part of the game is
rather straightforward, as there is no treasure and other what not. You likely
don't need to read this, but I'll still say it anyways. First, climb the steps
here, which leads us back inside. Here, take the elevator platform upstairs,
which leads us to outside again.

From here, head to your right, jump over the steps, and eventually you'll reach
a save point. I recommend you to rest up, synthesize some super moves, and
equip healing and defensive Hyumas to your Ryvalteil if you haven't already. Be
sure to make a save here; this is where you will be making your third and final
choice between Saki and Finnel.

Head inside using the teleport circle, and an event will automatically start.
You'll then have to make your decision. Right now, each heroine either has two
heart points to none or one each. Your last decision here affects in what
direction the plot will progress. So choose wisely.

If you're planning on betraying the heroine you have stuck with for other
characters, pick the one with the least heart points (or just somebody if each
character has only one heart point).

Now, talk to Akane, who will then have a short conversation with Aoto. Then,
talk to Katene. The Rinkernator will then open up, and a guardian, M.Y.U., will
then spawn here.

*******************************************************************************
Boss Fight:
   M.Y.U (HP: ????)
*******************************************************************************

This is a timed boss fight, which means that the battle will be over after a
certain period of time has passed. Like the choice we have made earlier, the
result of this boss fight also determines the outcome of our story.

If this is your first playthrough, the battle may prove to be very difficult to
beat within the time limit. Constantly heal your characters. Despite M.Y.U.'s
size, it actually moves somewhat quickly, and deal quite some damage with its
normal attacks. Aoto and Cocona's close quarter attacks make them vulnerable
here, while Gojo is somewhat saved because he stands a short distance away.
Its special attack, Ar tonelico_ver.1 (アルトネリコ_ver.1) also deals a lot of
damage on your party. So try your best to fend it off, using your skills or
attack items.

In the beginning, focus on getting your harmonics high enough so that you can
purge your Ryvalteil. Use your healing and defensive Hyumas first, before
anything else. Use your super moves if possible, which deals a decent amount of
damage on the guardian. Save your Flipsphere until you have a high enough
percentage, as it may not finish the boss off immediately (or even take half of
the HP bar off, for that matter).

If your purpose is to finish the fight without beating M.Y.U., then just pick
Aoto as your party leader and have him stand to the side. Cocona's HP will
diminish quickly, and Gojo alone won't be able to finish it off.

If you managed to beat M.Y.U., this is where you meet Tyria before she quickly
runs away.

Regardless of the outcome, head back the path where we came from, and we'll run
into an event, during which Aoto also turns into a masochist. After that, take
the path to the northeast here, where you will find a lift to downstairs. From
here, head back to the Clustanian District, where we learn from the Reyvateil
that Akane is missing. Now, head over to Harvestasha's place, where we come
upon another event. Finnel then runs away, while Cocona stays behind in the
room.

Chase after Finnel, who you will eventually find running towards the
underground tunnel. Despite Gojo's insistance, you may also go back into town,
where our merchants have awaken from their slumber. If you haven't already,
dive with Saki until midway of her Level 7 Cosmosphere and net an extra Hyuma.
Now, head into the Slave District.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Location:  Slave District (スレイヴ街区)
Objective: Infiltrate Clustania
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We end up in the back alley in front of Chamber 18. One different thing that
you might have realized is that the map now has encounters, but that shouldn't
be much of a concern as the enemies are not any stronger than the ones you had
come upon.

Head into the manhole here, and climb the ladder to the left. Here, head into
the back alley and out when you find the first opening, where we head into
another cutscene. Cocona then rejoins our party, and here, just simply head
north and to the elevator, where another cutscene starts.

Depending on the choices you have made, the story will either split into a
Finnel-specific storyline, , or Saki-specific storyline, .

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3.3.1) Phase 3 - Finnel route                                            AT3P3F
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After the short scene, Finnel joins our party again. We end up at Archia once
again, where we need to infiltrate the Archia Think Tank. Before that, you may
want to head over to the inn, pick up the Talk Topic, and make a save.

There will be another cutscene as our party steps into the Think Tank. Once
that is over, we end up in an area of the labs. There is nothing in Raphael's
office except the funky Archia town music, but in the rooms to your right, you
can find treasure chests containing a Stress Doll, an Inverse Chip, and a Soul
Charger. After that, head to the left side of the hall, and into the manhole
that we can find in the room at the end.

From here, follow the path, and head up when you reach the fork to Floor A.
Head into the room at the end of the corridor to the left. Here, we come upon
another cutscene.

Finnel leaves our party again, so let's chase after her...yet again. Run back
to the entrance and leave from there. We will be treated to another event,
during which we also get a new CG and trophy if you have dedicated three heart
points to Finnel.

Now, after that was all over, Aoto wakes up at the inn, where he decides to go
after Finnel by heading to the Mooschiel (ムーシェリエル). Head over to the
Parie
Central Station to do that. We then head into a cutscene, where my favourite
song in the game will also play. Read the Common route walkthrough, ,
from here.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3.3.2) Phase 3 - Saki route                                              AT3P3S
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After you regain control, it is time to head to Eternus Shaft again. Even with
the current situation, you can continue your Dives with Saki if you desire.

Head into Waterfront Square. From here head into the Old Eternus Gallery and
the Great Fang base. Head down from the save point until you reach a ladder.
Take the ladder then follow the path until you reach a ladder going down.
Continue following the path until you see some stairs. Go past the stairs and
take the ladder to your right. An event will trigger. During this scene, Saki
will unlock two new Hyumas, Manjo Cruto and Memor Cruto.

It is now time to head to Archia. After you arrive, head into the Inn, where
you can pick up a new talk topic for Saki. Then, head to the Think Tank. An
event will start. A few more CGs will also be unlocked along with a trophy for
those who have stuck with Saki for all three choices.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3.3.3) Phase 3 - Common route                                            AT3P3C
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After you regain control, head left at the fork. You can find a Spunky Monkey
V (ミナシャキーリンV) in a chest to the right. Continue down that path, and you
will come across find a ?BBQ? (?バーベキュー?). Then, across the tree trunks,
you
will find a Yuteria Material.

Head back to the beginning fork and go north. You can find a chest with ?Big
Bottled Drink? (?特大ボトル飲料?) right away. Continue down the path, and you
will come to another fork. Take the upper path, and there will be a Platinum
Material waiting for you in the end. Then, take the lower path. You can find a
?Dreamy Crayon? (?夢色クレヨン?).

Continue down the path to reach another fork. Again, take the upper fork
first, and you can find two chests with a Angel Recoverael
(エンゼルリカバリエル)
and a Synchro Evo Sap. Take the lower fork, and you will reach a ?Wonder Tool?
(?革命工業用具?). Then, follow the path until you reach yet another fork. Take
the lower path and you will get to a ?Cutting Edge Kit? (?最新鋭医療バッグ?).

Continue along this path, along which you can find two treasure chests. The
chest to the south has a Spunky Monkey V, and the one at upper path will have a
?Premium Board? (プレミアボード). Continue until you pass through a stone ring.
An event will then trigger.

When you regain control, save at the save point. There will be an important
choice that determines weather you head into a true or normal ending. Head
north to trigger a long cutscene. When you regain control, take a moment to set
up your party however you want it, and then talk to Ar Ru.

Depending on how you fared in the fight with M.Y.U., if you pick "I'll stop
it!", you will either end up in the true route, , or the bad ending.
Stay with us for a while here if that is the choice you are picking.
If you choose "Just Watch" here, you will end up on a normal ending route.


*******************************************************************************
Boss Fight:
   Furia Model 1 (フリア1型) (HP: 26000)
   Ar Ru (アル・ルゥ) (HP: 85000)
*******************************************************************************

This boss fight is fairly easy. While Ar Ru attacks a lot, her attacks usually
only hit one person, so it is easy to keep your HP on top of your Reyvateil's
healing. Just stay alive until your Reyvateil has around 120k% on their burst
meter, and then do a purge EX.

After you finish the boss fight, you will proceed either into the true route or
bad ending, depending on whether you defeated M.Y.U. in time before. Enjoy the
cutscenes that follow. For those who are heading into the true route, head over
to the Phase 4 walkthrough.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3.3.4) Normal End                                                        AT3NmE
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When you regain control, head to the Think Tank, another cutscene will occur.

After the event, head north, climb up the cliff, and once you reach the top,
head to the right. Take the teleporter that you come across. You will find two
chests containing a ?Fashionista? (?おしゃれな服?) and a Angel Recoverael.
Go back and continue going to the right until you find another teleporter.
Take it, and keep heading north until you reach a fork. The slightly hidden
path to the right leads us to an ?Eye Wear? (?アイウエア?). Then, take the
middle path and get a Synchro Evo Sap. Take the left fork and you will find a
?Glass Jar? (?ガラスの瓶?). Now, continue left and take the teleporter.

Now head north and take the lifting board stand. Keep following the path and go
up the cliffs. Continue along the path until... eventually... you will reach
another lift and a save point. There is a talk topic next to the save point to
pick up if you have Saki in your party. Save at the save point then take the
lift.

After you take the lift, climb the ladder, and event will start. After, you
will enter a battle.

*******************************************************************************
Boss Fight:
   S-01 x 2 (HP: 15000)
   Harvestasha (ハーヴェスターシャ) (HP: 320000)
*******************************************************************************

This fight requires just a bit of care. Harvestasha has two spells, Ar Tonelico
(アルトネリコ) and one other one (不協和音). Ar Tonelico has a large area
of effect and heavy damage, so you need to heal right away after it is cast.
This is the main challenge of the fight as the two other mobs and Harvestasha
don't do much other damage. The other spell that Harvestasha has temporately
stops your Ryvalteil's burst gauge from going up. You can attempt to interrupt
these moves while their blue bar is still on the harmograph but that requires
a lot of physical or item damage without using any spells. Notice that
Harvestasha may also spawn new S-01s anytime during the battle, which you may
want to pay attention to in order to avoid any damage to your Ryvalteil.

Otherwise, this is your standard battle. save up your charge and use your Purge
EX. Supermove EXs are also very useful in this fight as they only cost 30k%
and let your Ryvalteil stay purged, which leads to more benifits to the party
such as higher healing.

After you finished the fight and the scenes that follows, congrats! You just
completed the normal ending of the heroine you picked! Now, after admiring your
bronze trophy, go and beat her true route!

4.1.1) Finnel's Cosmosphere - Level 1                                    AT3FC1
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total Required DP: 530

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Finnel is the first character that you will be diving with. Inside her Level 1
Comsosphere, you will meet Momoko, who is sort of a guardian of Finnel's mind.
After talking to her, head to Pain (痛), the area that is marked with a star.

In here, Aoto notes that there are tacks scattered on the ground, but Momoko
replies that they won't hurt him. After this, Aoto hears Finnel's call for
help. Pick the option "Walk over the tacks" to get to Finnel.

It turns out that Aoto cannot touch anything in this world, and Finnel turns
out to be hungry. Because of that, we have to find her some food. We can find
this in our next destination, but as Aoto cannot touch anything, and Momoko
declines to help, there is nothing we can do here.

In our next destination, we will find a Hyuma called Ternita (コトリ). Ternita
tells Aoto that she is chained in the room, which can only be removed by
someone from the outside world. As much as it sounds beneficial to help her,
doing so will only exhaust the DP we have. Instead of picking the first option,
which is to offer her help, pick the second option, "I'll free you, if you
follow my orders." This will make Aoto to ask for her help in return, which
Ternita accepts swiftly.

After Ternita has joined you, go back to the jail earlier, and she will retrive
the food for Aoto. Now, head to our next destination, which requires an
additional 80 DP.

After the event, in which Aoto promises to help Finnel, a paradigm shift
occurs. Momoko explains this as Finnel accepting Aoto, and allowing him to
further dive into her mind. Let's head to the stonehenge, where the shift
occurs. This levels Finnel's Cosmosphere to Level 2, and takes us back to the
real world.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4.1.2) Finnel's Cosmosphere - Level 2 (?)                                AT3F2?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total Required DP: 280
Entrance Fee: 200 Leaf
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After you arrive, head into the jail (which is marked by a star, as always).
Inside there, we find Finnel locked up in the prison. Turns out that Finnel
actually locked herself in there in order to run away from someone.

After the event, head down to the shackles (枷). There, you meet another Hyuma,
Unita (ユニッタ). Aoto then asks her to look at the top of the chessboard
to find if anyone is there. Unita returns immediately, but also tagging along
is Soma. Soma then attacks Aoto in order to chase him out. This costs us 100
DP. Afterwards, Finnel shows up, and pleads to Soma to kill her instead.

Soma then simply walks away, while Finnel and Aoto continues on some cheesy
conversation as if Finnel is dying. A paradigm shift then occurs immediately,
so head over to the stonehenge.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4.1.3) Finnel's Cosmosphere - Level 3 (?)                                AT3F3?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total Required DP: 200
Entrance Fee: 300 Leaf
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As with last time, head into the jail first. It turns out that this is no
longer the world of Finnel's conciousness. Finnel then goes on to lament her
life, with Momoko's comments making it worse.

Aoto then tells Finnel that he will bring happiness to Finnel, and to do that,
he will have to head to the roulette. However, a paradigm shift occurs right
after he leaves the room. Finnel then comes out, and says that everything's
fine. Let's trust her, and head over to the stonehenge, and head on to the
next level.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4.1.4) Finnel's Cosmosphere - Level 4 (?)                                AT3F4?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total Required DP: 100
Entrance Fee: 400 Leaf
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Entering Finnel's Level 4 Cosmosphere brings us to a nostalgic RPG world with
8-bit music and not-so-8-bit graphics. Momoko even calls Aoto a hero upon his
entry, despite his status as a Level 1.

Head into the Overlord's Castle (まおうじょう), and we will find Finne, a Level
1
mage (according to Momoko), talking in ALL CAPITAL LETTERS or hiragana. Not
along afterwards our party comes upon Shogun Tatsumi. Shogun Tatsumi assumes
that our party is here to take the Manasphere, an item that can make the world
reborn again.

Next, we find Demon Lord Chisel. Finne attempts to defeat her by using a skill
that was passed down her family, but before she could finish saying the long
name, she was defeated due to her low level. We have no choice but to watch the
world end, which leads to a paradigm shift.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4.1.5) Finnel's Cosmosphere - Level 5 (?)                                AT3F5?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total Required DP: 500
Entrance Fee: 500 Leaf
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The new world created by Kisseru turns out to have nothing but a toilet. There,
we find Finnel, who wants Aoto to get out, even though there is nowhere else to
go.

It turns out that there is no plumbing, so Finnel couldn't flush after
finishing her business. It turns out that there is no stonehenge in this world
either, so a paradigm shift cannot occur.

After getting back into the map, we will head into pretty much an endless
recursion of time, unless if you have Tepo with you, who you will need to
first obtain from Doctor Gojo, and meet the cute little creature first over
at Saki's Cosmospheres.

Once you meet Teppo, head back over to the toilet. It turns out that Finnel's
inner world has multiple cracks. It also turns out that even though Aoto is at
Level 5 as permitted by Finnel, this is actually not permitted by the
Cosmosphere's H-waves. Aoto is only at the Level 5 Cosmosphere because Finnel
attempted to protect him. Aoto then decides to head back to Level 2, as Tepo
suggests.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4.1.6) Finnel's Cosmosphere - Level 2                                    AT3FC2

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Heading back into the Cosmosphere, we will meet Soma at the Stonehenge.
If you haven't already met Yurisica, Soma will immediately force you out of
the Cosmosphere.

Once you meet Yurisica in the story, head back into the Cosmosphere. She will
help you fend Soma off. Turns out Finnel has been hiding in the prison as
always, so head over there once the event is over.

Aoto points out that Finnel always hide here. Tepo then shows up, and tell Aoto
that Finnel and the other personalities do not remember what happened in the
previous fake Cosmosphere levels. Aoto then convinces Finnel to come out and
help somebody in the battle. As such, take her over to the stonehenge to meet
Yurisica.

There, Finnel agrees to help Yurisica, and to do so, the two will need to
first fuse together. As a bonus to this, after the long event, you will be
able to switch from Finnel to Yurishica as you please.

After this, if you want 100% completion, you may want to head over to the
shackles and the multiple other starred locations. Doing so will cost you 5 DP
each for entrance fee, and 150-200 DP if you get attacked.

Head over to the west camp after that, and Yurisica will explain the current
situation. Finnel also wonders if she will bring any good, and Aoto also says
he will help. While Yurisica has already chekced Finnel's fighting abilities
with the status windows, Aoto won't do anything good to them, as this is
something that only they can take care of, and Aoto can't directly interfere
as an outsider. She however asks Aoto to find a path to Soma's camp, though,
as such, let's do that for her.

Head over to Frontier (荒野のマス) after that, and when presented the choice,
choose to attack with Finnel. As Kabotatsu is kept occupied, Aoto goes to save
Ho-ryo-ryo (ホリョリョ), who will be available for us to equip afterwards.

Next, go to the Mountain Square (山のマス), and attack Meryl (めるる)
with Ho-ryo-ryo. The latter will then trigger her erotic powers, and causes the
former trauma. With that, we also net Meryl as part of our ongoing Hyuma
collection.

After we go out, remember to go into the Mountain Square again, just so it
registers us as having seen the event (after Haveli is stationed there).
After that, go into the East camp, and after the conversation and subsequent
fight between Yurisica and Soma, choose to protect Finnel. Soma then heads
over to Finnel in order to chase her out of the body. Her attacks proved
futile against Aoto, though, and was defeated swiftly.

A paradigm shift occurs right after that, which Aoto doubts whether it's real.
Regardless, head over to the stonehenge, and Finnel's purge level will level
up to level 4.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4.1.7) Finnel's Cosmosphere - Level 3                                    AT3FC3
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total Required DP: 5120
Entrance Fee: 300 Leaf
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We are greeted by a board that resembles the Game of Life. Let's first head to
the Starting Square (スタートのマス). There, we meet the various people who we
will be playing against in this board game: Finnel, Akane, Saki, Yurisica,
Soma, and even Mute! A Hyuma, Destiny (デスティニー), then explains to us the
rules of the game, and everyone begins on their way.

Now, head to the Decisive Point (運命の分かれ道のマス). There, we meet a
confused Finnel, who can't decide whether she wants to enjoy a stable life or
gamble away. Yurisica and Soma then happens upon the same square, and decides
to embark on a stable and gambling life, respectively. Finnel also has to make
a decision, so either pick one for her, or have her make up her own mind.

Next, let's head to the Happening Square (ハプニングのマス), where we can find
Yurisica, who has since enrolled into a nursing career, and she has been
waiting for her next patient to happen upon this square. She then performs
surgery on Aoto, while providing us a CG and trophy. Next, we can find Soma at
the Bankruptcy Square (破産のマス), who has lost her fortune and is in debt.
Soma then decides to break the rules, and heads for the happy goal. We also
meet Finnel again here, who apparently also bankrupted.

Head to the Matrimony Square (結婚のマス) from here. Much to Saki's delight,
she landed on this square. Saki then marries Aoto as mandated by Destiny, but
before we can proceed with the wedding, Finnel marches into the square as well.
We then learn that Mute will be Finnel's husband. To add to the confusion,
Yurisica also arrives in the square, who then saves Finnel by sending her back
15 squares, before the passionate Mute also chases after her. Saki then strips
after her marriage with Aoto (why is it always Saki?), and here, choose not to
go with it.

Go to the Happy Goal Square, and we find Akane, who apparently lived a happy
life without a spouse and spotaneous wealth, and arrived to this land of true
happiness as quickly as possible. We also meet Soma, who is immediately sent
back, and Saki, who received 30000 DP (which never appears in her DP count) as
Aoto has abandoned her. We then find Finnel at the Happening Square, where
Mute divorces with her. Mute then becomes a successful billionare at the Happy
Goal, but we are chased out of there soon afterwards.

We meet Finnel's personalities at the Bankruptcy Square again, where
everyone complained about their miserable lives. Finnel is then to bet for a
fortune at the Roulette (ルーレット), where Aoto offers to spin for Finnel
instead. Apparently, the roulette has been controlled by a Hyuma, Lorelei
(ルーレライ), who has been operating only because of being mandated by the
world. A Paradigm Shift then occurs, so let's head there to finish up this
level. For completing this level, Finnel's purge level is also increased to EX,
which allows her to purge to level 4.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4.1.8) Finnel's Cosmosphere - Level 4                                    AT3FC4
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total Required DP: 11580
Entrance Fee: 400 Leaf
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We are again greeted by this colorful world of at least 16-bit graphics and
8-bit music that we had last seen in one of Finnel's bugged cosmospheres.
First, head to the jail, where we can find an enemy Hyuma, Slimer (スライマー),
whose attacks will knock 60 DP off our count before we defeat her. As a result,
Aoto is also raised to level 2! We then meet Finne, who is a queen, witch, and
MAGE all at the same time. She then asks you to free her. You can decline as
many times as you want, but let's kindly do so here.

Go to the Initiation Village (はじめのむら), where you find Sarapatra offering
her
services to Aoto. Do as your parents have always taught you, and kindly refuse
when somebody offers you services. It turns out that she's actually a Hyuma,
Sandaayu (サンダーユ), who is an underling of the Demon Lord.
Yurusica, who revealed that to us, then joins our party!

Next, head to the fields (草原), where we can find another Hyuma who
attacks us, Hagure (ハグレ). Defeating him costs us 6000 DP, but that earns us
our first level 4 Hyuma, as well as virtually leveling Aoto up to 35. Now, go
over to the Killing Fields (死の荒野), and we learn that the world has
apparently started to decompose. We also meet Shogun Tatsumi, who immediately
takes us on a fight. Soma then appears, and apparently betrays Tatsumi, even
though she was never her ally to begin with. Tatsumi then warns us to stay away
from the Overlord's Castle, and Soma joins our party and offers to lead us the
way in.

Head over to the Light Tower (ひかりのとう). Our party starts to exhaust
themselves by climbing up the tower. We meet Gengai, the protector of the
tower, midway through. Gengai decides that someone in our party is a Demon
Lord, and as it turns out, Soma was a Demon Lord. Gengai then becomes enraged,
and attacks us as Soma mentions about his son. After taking soon damage, Aoto
and Finnel then attacks, with the latter using her wonderful Heart Ripple
Laser. Gengai is then defeated, and Aoto is leveled up to level 14 for some
reason, despite our earlier efforts. We then learn that Tatsumi is apparently
Gengai's son, who has since fallen to the dark side. We later also meet a
Hyuma, Castellia (カステルキー), who kindly unseals the castle for us.

Continue on your journey and proceed to the Overlord's Castle. Soma apparently
did some remodelling before and rendered the Castle to its current shape
before she ran out of budget. We again meet Tatsumi, who is confused about all
the things he previously did. Our party then proceeds and find Guardian Chisel,
who attacks Finnel. Aoto then proclaims himself as the only one who can pick on
Finnel, and defeats the guardian. After Finnel gets her Manasphere
(マナスフィア) and castle back, she again becomes the Demon Lord. She then
proceeds to destroy the world against her will, and asks Aoto to lock her away
again. Aoto then slaps her, and disallows her to destroy the world as her
master.

For some reason, that activates the Paradigm Shift, so, as always, let's head
over to the stonehenge and proceed onto the next level. We are now allowed to
further purge Finnel during battles, which certainly sounds good to me in many
ways.

Total Required DP: 520 + 155 (Optional)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Saki's Cosmosphere provides a stark contrast when compared to Finnel's. This
world appears bright and beautiful, and in a way reminds me of playing Atelier
Rorona.

As you arrive, you will meet Zwelivelle, who acts the same role as Momoko, and
acts hostile to Aoto. Like he did with Mute, Aoto mistakes her as a prince.
She's also hostile for the fact that Aoto called her master's name by a short
nickname, which Aoto becomes surprised at.

After the event, go ahead to Organito Hut (オルガニート小屋). Inside the house,
you will find Saki happily singing random jingles. Despite Aoto's attempts,
Saki won't respond to him no matter what. There, we meet Sakia Lumei, who was
the lady we saw back at the hamlet. Sakia then offers to help Aoto to speak
with Saki, and tells us that we need to find a Hyuma called Modeco (モデコ),
who is apparently the key to letting Aoto to speak with Saki. Then, Sakia
tells Aoto to head to the stonehenge (ストーンヘンジ), but before that,
Saki begins to strip in order to change her clothes. Before we can see
anymore, however, Sakia rushes Aoto out of the room.

We meet Tsariveera again at the map, and it turns out that her master is, in
fact, Sakia instead. She also makes Aoto to call Sakia by Sakia Rumei-oneesama,
which Aoto declines initially, but relucently agrees after being threatened.

There are multiple locations that we can now head off to. If you want 100%
completion for Saki's Cosmospheres, head back to the house, and choose the
first option to take a peak at Saki changing, which costs 155 DP. Next, head to
World Tree Arfage (世界樹アルファージ). For some reason, Aoto decides to kick
the tree, just as he did when he went to catch bugs as a child. Turns out
Modeco was just sleeping in the tree. She complains to Aoto a little, but
agrees to help Aoto, even though neither of them know what she's supposed to
do. After this, take her to Sakia, who's at the stonehenge. Sakia asks Modeco
to sing, which yielded deafening results.

Afterwards, the map turned into a dark wasteland that can hardly be recognized.
Head back to the house in order to check up with Saki, who aside from being
all right, is also still changing. Aoto is then slapped unconcious.

When Aoto wakes up, we find out that Saki can now speak with Aoto. However, the
world is still a foresaken piece of wasteland. Aoto promises Saki that he will
fix this, which Saki cheerfully replies to by telling him that it's fine.
Still, head back to the World Tree.

Saki explains that the World Tree is the source of energy in this world. We
also meet yet another Hyuma, Buckle (ブックル), who tells the couple that she's
going to rebuild the world again. After she begins her Hymmnos chant,
she disappers. Now, a Paradigm Shift will automatically occur,
so let's head to the Stonehenge to finish this level.

As a reward of passing Cosmosphere Level 1, Saki's purge level will also level
up to Level 3, which means that she can now strip even further during battle.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4.2.2) Saki's Cosmosphere - Meeting Teppo                                AT3SCT
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total DP Required: None really
Entrance Fee: 200/300 Leaf
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Once you get Teppo from Doctor Gojo, heading into Saki's Cosmosphere will
initiate an event with Teppo, who will introduce himself as "Cosmosphere
Analyser, Transencoder, and Program Optimizer", or Teppo, as you can just call
him (how that works is beyond me).

He then goes on to explain his functions, which hardly anyone can understand.
After this event, we will automatically boot into whichever level you are
currently at in Saki's Cosmosphere, and you will need to install him there.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4.2.3) Saki's Cosmosphere - Level 2                                      AT3SC2
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total DP Required: 1400
Entrance Fee: 200 Leaf
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

First, head into the village, which consists of houses made of edible sweets,
courstey of Saki the housebuilder. Aoto has his own house, and other citizens,
such as Tatsumi and Gojo, greatly enjoy this new habitat of theirs. Heck,
Doctor Gojo has already finished eating an enitre house, despite being a
doctor. A Hyuma, Arche, then shows up, and proclaim that his master is
overtaking this world.

After the event, head into the house. A Hyuma called Archelesser will
immediately yell out that the room has been infilitrated. Arche then accuses
Aoto and Saki as proclaiming war with him, and goes on to say that this world
is not only Saki's.

Go back to the village in order to have some discussion time with Saki. Aoto
suggests Saki to draw out weapons and explosives in the world, which Saki
immediately declines, claiming that this is a world of candies. Saki eventually
decides to turn into a magical girl, and after a short chant full of meows
(and the stripping scene that follows), she turns into... a nearly entirely
naked girl with a cat custome's head.

After the scene, you have two options. Instead of heading back into the house,
go to the tree again. A Hyuma, Animesia, will show up, and asks Aoto whether
he knows why Saki hates fighting. Pick the second option, "Because the world
must always be peaceful", and she will join you in your journey of staying
by Saki to protect her source.

Now, head back into the house. Saki goes on to say that fighting is bad, and if
Arche continues to be selfish, Nyamo Mask will get him. Saki, as with last time,
failed in transforming. Before Arche and Archelesser can get her, though,
Animesia shows up, and saved Saki and Aoto. Saki then decides to fight in
order to protect Aoto, and creates a bomberman ripoff, Bombastic Man, who
easily defeats Arche and Archelesser.

Immediately afterwards, a paradigm shift occurs. Arche admits defeat, but vows
that he will return. Although we still don't know who his master is, head over
to the stonehenge in order to advance to the next level. You will also get
Archelesser, the hymmno who tried to kill Saki and Aoto earlier, as part of
your collection. Saki's purge level will also grow to Level 4, allowing us to
strip another layer to our benefits in battle.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4.2.4) Saki's Cosmosphere - Level 3                                      AT3SC3
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total DP Required: 3790
Entrance Fee: 300 Leaf
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As you start out, Aoto find that a haunted castle has been drawn on the right
page. He then finds that Bombastic Man has followed him to this level. Aoto
then finds out that Saki is a Princess on this level.

Head to the bridge first, where you will immediately be chased out by Arche.
Next, head to Candy Village (お菓子の村). Here, you will find Mute trying
to take away all the men from the village. Saki was apparently hiding Gengai
in a basement, but he was found out by a Hyuma, Gaylord (ヲトコスキ).
As she is losing ground, Yurisica and Finnel aren't happy and return home.
Gojo, who apparently doesn't count as a man, is the only one who still
believes in Princess Saki. After being considered a traveler, Aoto is given
a room in the inn. After being interrupted by Saki looking for panties, she
asks Aoto to help her rescue her subjects from the Adult Kingdom.

Now head over to Organito Hut, you will meet with Sakia Lumei. She only cares
that Aoto was able to talk to Saki and then goes off to tune her music box.

Next, proceed to the Border Bridge (国境の橋). Mute will confront Saki and
then try and take Aoto under the Male tax. Aoto then successfully defends
himself and defeats Mute. After finding out Gojo sneaks into Saki's room at
night, Gojo explains that Mute was one of Saki's friends that betrayed her.
Saki insists that Mute is being blackmailed and goes off to discuss this with
the Empress. Gojo then runs off after a comment about Saki's missing panties.

Next head to the Adult Castle (おとなのおしろ). You will encounter Arche again
and he will tell you the directions to the Empress's room. Aoto is for some
reason confused and asks Teppo to find out what Arche is saying. Teppo
responds by saying that there is a fault, and the dive will automatically end.

After you redive, Teppo will tell you the cosmosphere is fixed and you can
proceed. Head back into the Adult castle and Arche will repear with the empress
Sarapatra. Saki asks about why she is taxing her kingdom's males. Sarapatra
asks why did they not pay with such a handsome man (Aoto) before and then
offers to release the rest of the men if Saki gives her Aoto. After Saki
refuses, Sarapatra insists that Saki perform a sexy show in front of all of her
subjects. Saki agrees to this as it will free all of her kingdom's men. Aoto
protests but Saki won't hear anything about it.

Head back to Candy Village where Saki will be stripping. Aoto will run into
Finnel who finds it pretty funny that Saki is going to be exposing herself in
public. Aoto is then told that there are fines if you are late to the show and
then heads over to the stage.  There are a surprising number of men in the
audience as the Adult Kingdom has just released all the men to see the show.
As Saki is about to start, Aoto trys to stop her but Gengai amd Tatsumi stop
him. He then leaves the stage.

Now head over to the Border Bridge. Aoto will encounter Mute and inform her
about Saki stripping. She offers to help Aoto save Saki. Choose to help her
from the list of choices.

Next, head over to Organito Hut. Sakia Lumei is still working on her clock and
offers Aoto some advice. Choose to stop the sexy show, and a Hyuma, Sheda,
will appear and offer to cover the world in darkness.

Head back over to Candy Village again. Saki is already in her underwear by the
time you arrive.  The audience is taunting her to take off more, but as GUST
did not want to turn this into an eroge, Sheda decides it is time for her to do
her thing. Aoto then yells at Saki for stripping in front of so many people
(even though she does this all the time in battle). Aoto then admits that
he doesn't want other people looking at Saki's naked body. Aoto then heads off
to yell at Sarapatra.

At the castle, Sarapatra was about to go back on her word as she heard of the
blackout, but Sheda shows up with a video tape (I WANT THAT TAPE). Sarapatra
doesn't like this, so she calls out another Hyuma, Garter. Mute takes the blow
for you. Sarapatra then gives a speech about how Saki needs to grow up (and
stripping is apparently good for that). Sarapatra asks Saki to fuse with her
but Saki asks for some time to think about it.

Head over to World Tree Alfage. Here Saki decides to fuse with Sarapatra. After
a short scene, you will unlock Sarapatra's body and a Paradigm shift will
occur, head over to Stonehenge to finish this level. You will also earn the
trophy "Saki's Friend" for completing 30% of Saki's Cosmosphere.

4.2.5) Saki's Cosmosphere - Level 4                                      AT3SC4

Total DP Required: 10160 + 11000 (Optional with CG/trophy)
Entrance Fee: 400 Leaf
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As you enter, Aoto notices that the town seems much more lively then before.
Aoto's guide this time is Ko-Kitty. Ko-Kitty reveals that the world is about to
be destroyed by a Tsunami. He is also warned to be wary of Sakia Lumei. Start
by heading to the Love Nest (愛の巣). Here, Aoto is welcomed home by Saki. Who
says Aoto is her Husband. Choose Saki and she will start to stri-- I mean sing.
Apparently both of you lost your jobs after the local theater closed. They have
also been living off of chocolate since then.

Now, head to the bridge, where you will meet Arche. Arche tells us that Saki
actually wants it when you ask for "Saki" among the options she give you. Let's
keep that in mind. Next, head to the Organito Hut. Here you will encounter
Sakia Lumei. She will tell you how she is not actually the ruler of the
underworld and is just trying to keep the world in balance.

Next head to the City of Melodies (おんがくの街). Here Aoto will encounter
Gengai and Gojo who are angry that the theater still hasn't reopened. After
they run off to complain, Sarapatra appears and is apparently Saki's rival on
stage. She then runs off to also complain to the manager.

Head to the Theater (劇場) next. Raphael is the manager of the series and
is moping about all the complaints he just recived. The theater was closed
because a Hyuma disappeared. After Aoto leaves, Zwelivelle informs you that you
are wanted at Organito Hut, so head there next.

Sakia Lumei informs you that the theater closed due to a negative shift in
Saki's mind. She tells Aoto it is his job to find out what she is restraining.

Head back to the Love Nest. You will be greated by a almost naked Saki and
given a choice again, choose Dinner and Saki will feed you a dinner of
chocolate on rice. Saki is wearing less clothes since she sold her outer layers
to pay for the rent. Saki mentions that if she had her Sakkyun Smock she could
perform again.

Head to the City of Melodies. Aoto decides to go from store to store looking
for this smock. He enters Nya Nya Nya and is greeted by Sasha. She tells him
they have a new pink smock in stock. The price is 100,000 DP. As Aoto can't
afford this, and leaves. He bumps into Sarapatra outside and tells her the
situation. Sarapatra offers 95,000 DP towards it. Aoto goes back inside and
with her help, buys the smock.

Head back again to the Love Nest, Saki is surprised to see Sarapatra came with
Aoto. Sarapatra tells Saki that they can now finish their competition. Saki
however says that she can't sing anymore. Saki then runs off. Sarapatra tells
Aoto about how Saki is a Singing Angel that descended to save the world with
songs. She isn't sure why Saki can no longer sing.

Next head to Organito Hut again, Sakia is working on her music box again when
Aoto asks her about the Singing Angel. Sakia denys knowledge of such things and
says that it is all Saki's tastes.

Now head to the World Tree Alfage. Here you will find Saki. Saki admits that
she doesn't want to sing anymore because she is scared. After being rencouraged
by Aoto, Saki says she will sing again. A Hyuma, Theateria (シアタリア), appears
and hurries back to the theater.

Head to the theater, Aoto will be greeted by Raphael who is happy the theater
can reopen. After some talk with Gojo and Gengai about being a Saki fan, the
performance starts. You will unlock a new CG and another Trophy. After the
concert, while thanking everyone who helped her start singing again, Saki
accidentally mentions that Aoto is her husband. Gojo and Gengai chase Aoto out
of the theater.

It is that time again so head to Stonehenge. Here Saki is happy you aren't dead
after what happened. After some scolding from Aoto, Saki admits she just wanted
everyone to know how awesome her husband was. She then undertakes the Paradigm
shift.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4.2.6) Saki's Cosmosphere - Level 5                                      AT3SC5

Total DP Required: 5860 + 20000 (Optional)
Entrance Fee: 500 Leaf
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Aoto will start out with pointing out that something very inappropriate (Ha in
this game?) has been erected.

Start out by heading to the GPA Moe Hill (成績萌え丘). Aoto mentions he can't
hear anything, so Teppo appears to fix it. Aoto is then kicked out of the
cosmosphere.

After you reenter, head back to the GPA Moe Hill. Aoto will immediantly see
Filament prophesying that the would will soon be destroyed by a tidal wave. She
is also encouraging people to enter the Ark. The crowd does not believe
Filament, and tells Aoto not to worry about what Filament is saying. They then
tell you about how their god is Greater Robot (Who wouldn't want their god to
be a giant robot?). Filament then says that the Robot won't be able to save
them from the Goddess' might.

Head over to the Greater Robot (グレーターロボ). Here you will find Filament
checking out the Giant Robot. She will then run off.

Next head to Sane Academy (普通学園), here you will find Tatsumi being late
for class. Aoto plays along and heads into the school. Once in the classroom,
you will find Saki (in a school uniform, too). It turns out that Saki is a
Giant Robot pilot. Once class starts, Akane (the Teacher) will introduce a
transfer student, Finnel (also in a uniform). It turns out that Finnel is a
super star from the neighboring country.

After class, Finnel reveals that she is also a Giant Robot pilot (did I write
this cosmosphere?). As she is new in town, Finnel also asks Aoto to take her
around. Before Aoto can accept the offer, however, Finnel's manager, Mimic Mike
(マネジロウ), who also happens to be a hyuma, takes her away
for various meetings.

Now head to GPA Moe Hill again, Aoto will be shopping with Saki before she has
to go pilot the robot today. Saki invites him to her room but before anything
can happen, some groupies appear and they have to run. They then bump into
Filament. She tells Saki that she doesn't have anymore time to spend with
humans. Finnel then drags Aoto off to see the bridge.

Head to the Bay Bridge (ベーイ橋). Aoto will be admiring the sight with
Finnel. She admits that she wants to become friends with Saki. She then askes
Aoto out. You can choose to go out with her, and you will further be
given the option of kissing her or not. You can choose yes for both, but for
the purposes of saving our DP, let's not go out with her.

Saki will then appear yelling about trouble. Apparently the World Tree Alfage
is burning. A hyuma, Walkie (さぽこ), then tells Saki she needs to pilot the
Giant Robot, and both Finnel and Aoto agree to come with her.

Head over to the World Tree Alfage. They need to hurry to put out the fire
since the Giant Robot is powered by the tree. Finnel's manager Mimic Mike will
appear and tell Finnel they are returning to their own country. Apparently
Mimic Mike set the tree on fire by order of the Military. Saki and Finnel will
leave to go get the Giant Robot and Aoto will attack Mimic Mike.

Next head to the Greater Robot. Apparently the Greater Robot is powered by its
pilot's feelings so Saki and Finnel will co-pilot it. Filament will then appear
and say that the Tree should be left to burn to the ground as the world will be
better off. Saki refuses and then Filament will run off.

Head back to the World Tree. Aoto comments on how it is going to be hard to
comment on as the Robot looks like him. Despite there being quite a complex
control room in the Robot, Saki and Finnel will just yell. This will cause a
laser to shot out of the robot and will start putting out the fire. The tree
starts to fall and Aoto is in the way. Finnel and Saki save him by catching
him. The fire is now out and Aoto is safe. Saki manages to acidentally confess
to Aoto and Finnel then runs off. Apparently the Robot sucked all the energy
out of the tree. This is the cause of the Tidal Wave that will destroy the
world. Filament tells Saki that the only way to prevent this is to fuse.

A Paradigm Shift will then occur so head to Stonehenge. Filament and Saki will
fuse and then undertake the Paradigm Shift. After this level, you'll be able to
use Filament as Saki's body in battle.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4.2.7) Saki's Cosmosphere - Level 6                                      AT3SC6

Total DP Required: 6850
Entrance Fee: 600 Leaf
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As Aoto enters the Cosmosphere, he is surprised to see that it is covered in
water. Ko-Kitty appears and tells Aoto this level was made by her master, and
that he needs to go to the Ark (Spelled Arch on the map).

Head to the Ark, here Filament welcomes Aoto to her ark. She asks Aoto to be an
actor on stage to help Saki to change for the better. All he has to do is walk
aroung the world aimlessly and do what his gut tells him to. So in other words,
what he would have done anyway if she didn't ask him to do anything.

Next head to the House of Divinity (かみさまの家). Aoto hears someone in
the back and heads there to check it out. Here he finds Sarapatra, Soma,
Yurisica and Filament. They are apparently in a meeting about weather or not
to save the world. A new Hyuma, Maidria (メイドリア), will interrupt the
meeting with news that Saki went into the human town.

Head to the Underwater Village. Aoto is greeted by Gengai saying that a Goddess
has come into their house of worship. Everyone in town is excited since they
can use the Goddess's power and the power of science to save the world.

Head to the Cathedral of Prayers (祈りの聖堂), here Aoto will find Sakia Lumei
preaching that the Goddess will save them. Sakia tells Aoto to remove Saki's
heart with a knife so that the world will be saved. After Aoto protests, Sakia
then make a bunch of unreasonable demands on Saki. When Aoto says that is
impossible, Sakia says that is why they need Saki's heart. Raphael will then
run in and say the Tidal Wave has been spotted on the horizon. Sakia says that
it is now or never but Aoto continues to refuse. The Tidal Wave will then hit
the church.

Head back to the House of Divinity. Aoto find Saki being yelled at by the other
Goddesses for going down to the human world. Saki says that she just wanted a
happy world but Filament retorts with the fact that all humans are betrayers.
Filament will then tell Saki to feel her chest. After a new CG and trophy, it
is revealed that Filament has lost her heart. Humans had apparently taken it.
Filament uses this in an argument of why they need to rule humanity. Saki then
decides to go to the Cathedral to save Aoto.

Head to the Cathedral of Prayers. Aoto finds Saki about to split her life in
half to save him. Sakia then appears and tries to steal that life. Sakia says
to give it to her because it is forbidden for a Goddess to love a specific man.
Sarapatra appears and gets rid of Sakia. She is going to help Saki even though
it means that Saki will lose her powers of divinity. This is because she is the
Goddess of Love. Saki then ressurects Aoto and loses her divinity. Filament
appears and says her script was ruined as it was setup so that Saki would
realize she is a Goddess. Since Saki created this world and is no longer a
Goddess, the world is now ending. Saki won't go with the others and decides to
stay and disappear with Aoto. Aoto suggests they both head to the ark and they
head there.

Head to the Ark. They ask Filament to let them on the ark but she refuses.
Aoto tries to just run onto the ship but is forced off. Aoto asks if it is
possible for Saki to still get on even though no humans are allowed. Saki then
refuses to even try as she wants to spend as much time with Aoto as she can. A
Paradigm Shift will then appear.

Aoto enters the cosmosphere to see the world being inside a closed book.

Head to the Ghost Ship (幽霊船), here you will meet Finnel. Apparently
the ark's departure was delayed so it didn't escape the catastrophe. Since the
world still exists, it means that Saki is still somewhere within it.

Head to the closed book (畳まれた本). Here Aoto finds Saki crying inside
the book. She doesn't want to come out because if she does, Filament will take
her to a faraway place and she still has much to do as a Goddess.

Head to the World Tree Alfage next. Here Aoto finds Sakia Lumei. She is
thankful that Aoto saved her life in the previous cosmosphere. She then tells
Aoto that she is the main persona of Saki's body, Saki was one of the later
personas to arrive. The World Tree is the only thing keeping Saki's soulspace
attached to Sakia's.

This next event will disappear after you see Ar Ru and you will not be able to
get Ulurua then. Head to Ulurua's Egg (ウルルアの卵) next. Here, Aoto will
meet a Hyuma named Ulurua. She will tell him how she is guarding this egg.
Sakia then appears and tells Aoto to leave.

You can't continue any farther until you are past the point where you choose
to be on a true or normal route.

Head to Ulurua's Egg again, Sakia will be there an metion that this place is
no longer important. Apparently the egg held the main body of Alfage which was
the vaccine for Ar Ru.

You will again be stuck until, Saki and Finnel's soulspaces are connected in
Phase 4.

Head to the Closed Book, here Saki is refusing to come out as she will be
taken way to Ar Ciel. She apparently was one of the creators of the planet.
She doesn't want to return as she will be away from Aoto.

Head to the Ghost Ship next to talk to Filament. Aoto asks for Filament's help
in trying to get Saki to leave the book. Filament agrees to help him.

Head to the Closed Book again. Here Aoto tries to get Saki to leave by saying
that they agreed that she won't get deported to Ar Ciel when she comes out.
Both Filament and Sarapatra both back Aoto up on this. Saki decides to leave
the book. Aoto tells he it was just a trick to get her to come out of the book.
Aoto takes all the blame for this and acts cold to Saki. He says that he is
getting tired of her and tells her to just go home. Saki then runs off.

Head to the World Tree. Here Saki apologizes for causing Aoto so much trouble.
Saki then says that even if Aoto doesn't like her, since she likes him
she will continue to try and improve so he will like her. Aoto then
admits that he was pretending the whole time and is mad at Saki for
being so pure. He then begs her to return to finish the important things
she still has to do. Saki then says that is one of the things she likes
about him and decides to stop being the Will of Ar Ciel. Saki then
disappears.

Filament and Sakia Lumei will tell Aoto there is a chance for Saki
to come back if Sakia fuses with her. They tell him to head to
Stonehenge. Head there. Sakia tells Aoto he will need to look
for Saki again. Sakia then goes to fuse with Saki.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To start out, head to Mirage Castle for a unmarked event. Here Aoto meets Arche
who brings him a message from Sarapatra. This message is that Saki's inner
thighs are very sesitive.

Next head to the Mermaid Village. Here Aoto will meet Sarapatra who takes him
to see the mayor. Aoto is apparently a Prince in this level. Saki has
apparently been turned into foam and Aoto needs to save her. Sakia Lumei joins
him as his bodyguard.

Head to Ulurua's Egg. When Saki was turned into foam, she was put into the Egg
to save her life. Sakia tells Aoto to look for two shamans who maybe able to
save her.

Next go to Mirage Castle. Here Aoto will meet his butler Hyuma, Sioni.

Head to the Arcane Archive. Here Aoto will meet the two shaman Hyumas Ciela
Cruto and Patio Cruto. They will then teleport everyone to the boundary
between the human world and the celestial kingdom. Aoto will then mete Rere
who is the Will to Create the World along with Saki. Aoto makes a deal with
Rere to keep Saki as long as he makes her happy until the day she dies.
Rere give him a item that when Saki hold it it will test her and if she passes
she can stay in the human world.

Head to Ulurua's Egg again. Here Aoto will meet Saki Portal, a Hyuma who is
in charge of protecting Saki while she is in the egg. Aoto is given a choie,
to commit to Saki or not to. If you choose that you are ready, you are going
to be locked into one of Saki's ends. This guide is assuming that you are
commiting to her. Saki Portal then takes you into the Egg. Aoto gives Saki
the orb and the seal is removed. Saki then asks Aoto to make a baby with her.
If they do make a child, the child will be the new Saki that is sent to
Ar Ciel. Sadly the act is not shown. A new CG and trophy will be unlocked.

Head to the mermaid village. Here Sakia will offer to fuse with Saki. Saki
says she is not ready yet, and Sakia says she will be ready anytime.

Once you get past the Richa fight in the main plot, head back to the
Mermaid Village. Saki is finally ready to fuse with Sakia.

Finally head to Stonehenge for a Paradigm Shift.

First head to Hope Town. The world has returned to its original state from the
first level. Saki and Aoto decide that they need to go thank Sakia.

Next head to Organito Hut. Saki and Aoto thank Sakia for her help. She then
asks them to look for two Hyuma Andante and Allegretto.

as in level 1. The Hyuma. Andante, falls out of the tree.

Head to the Castle of Light next. Here they bump into Sarapatra. They then
search the Castle for the Hyuma. Aoto eventually finds Allegretto.

Return to Organito Hut. Sakia thanks them for bringing them as she is going
to use them to tune the Organito. Sakia says she is tuning it so Saki can
live with her in more harmony.

Head to Aurora Root first. Here Aoto and Filament talk about the stars and
about Saki.

Head back to Aurora Root again. Teppo will tell you that Saki's Cosmosphere
doesn't end here. Aoto can't go there but Saki posesses them as she is a
Sublimated type and not a Pureblooded type.

Head to Beauty Fields next. Here Aoto and Sarapatra talk about the new world
and Aoto's relationship with Saki.

was around before this world and of what Sakia contributed to the world.

knows what to do with her life. Saki asks her to become her big sister. Sakia
accepts this offer.

Head to Hope Town again. Sakia and Saki were out shopping for clothes. A new
CG depicting Sakia's new clothes and a trophy will be unlocked. After a short
cute little scene. The cosmosphere will end.

However if you return to level 9, there will be a new event at the World Tree.
Zwelivelle delivers a letter from Aoto and Saki's child. They will recive a
Hyuma, Yeeel as a present from their child.

There is also another minor event in the Castle of light. This consists of
Zwelivelle demanding Aoto call Sakia Lady Big Sister Sakia Lumei.

===============================================================================
Question:  What is this game?
Answer:    Ar tonelico III is an RPG developed by Gust and published by Bandai
           Namco. It is the third game in the Ar tonelico series.

Question:  Isn't this game called Ar tonelico Qoga?
Answer:    Well yes, but I am inclined not to think so, even though Qoga means
           "demise" or "end" in Hymmnos. This guide is (initially) written with
           the Japanese version, so there are more occurances of it being
           referred to as Ar tonelico III than Ar tonelico Qoga.

Question:  When was this game released?
Answer:    The game was released in Japan on January 28, 2010. It was released
           in North America on March 15, 2011.

Question:  How do I unlock the "Extras" menu in the main menu?
Answer:    You unlock it once you beat the game.

Question:  Do I keep any of my statistics and items after I complete my first
           playthrough?
Answer:    Not entirely. You can start your game in three specific parts after
           your first playthrough: at Phase 1, at Phase 2, and partway through
           Phase 3. Your EXP, DP, and Leaf will be inherited, but nothing else.

Question:  How do I get 100% completion for the cosmospheres?
Answer:    Oftentimes, there are multiple starred locations in the
           cosmospheres. Make sure that you head into these locations. There
           are also occurances where the events of a location before and after
           you enter another location are different, which occured once during
           the writing of this walkthrough. Be sure to follow the cosmospheres
           walkthrough.

Question:  Why can't I get into a cosmosphere/proceed with the cosmosphere's
           story?
Answer:    There are several instances throughout the story where you cannot
           proceed with the cosmospheres until you reach a certain point in the
           main story. Focus on the story, and check back on the cosmospheres
           later.

Question:  Are there DLCs for this game?
Answer:    Yes, there are DLCs for this game. Weekly Binary World are
           additional Cosmosphere events for Ar Ru, which you can view by
           going to the temple in Tylia's Cosmosphere. The first issue of the
           DLC "magazine" is available for free,
           while latter issues will cost you $0.99 (200 yen) apiece.

           There are also personality patches for Harvestasha, which can
           turn her into a tsundere, among other things; there is also a patch
           that can turn her back to default. Last but not least, there is a
           custom, non-dynamic theme available for $0.99 (200 yen).

Question:  Are there any custom themes for PS3 based on the game?
Answer:    Aside the theme mentioned above, you can also find two official
           themes on Dengeki Online. They can be found at:
            http://dol.dengeki.com/sp/ar-tonelico/at3/theme/at3_saki.p3t
            http://dol.dengeki.com/sp/ar-tonelico/at3/theme/at3_finnel.p3t

Question:  Are there trophies for the DLC?
Answer:    No, there are no trophies for the DLC. In addition, there hasn't
           been any voice acting so far. So it's entirely for your visual
           novel-reading enjoyment.

Question:  Do I need to play Ar tonelico I and II before this game?
Answer:    It's not entirely neccessary, but you really should! They are both
           great games that add to the experience.

Question:  Is it true that you can enter debug mode in this game?
Answer:    Yes, if you are playing the Japanese version. To enter the debug
           mode, hold down L2, and press triangle in Cosmospheres. This
           feature is not available in the North American version.

Question:  Can I get any trophies with the debug mode?
Answer:    You sure can, but that would ruin all the fun.

Question:  How did you write this guide?
Answer:    This walkthrough is collaboratively written by Cloud668 and
           Blazewardog. Cloud668 started writing the walkthrough during Summer
           2010 using the Japanese version, but abandoned it until the American
           release, when it was revived together with Blazewardog.

           Depending on who the writer of each specific part is, the other
           replays that area afterwards to catch mistakes and to fill in any
           blanks or the items/locations' Japanese or English names.

Question:  Is this game an adult game?
Answer:    Y- No. It may look like it with all the stri- purging, but it's not
           an adult game.

Question:  Have you written other guides before?
Answer:    A few, yes. Nobody really cares anymore about those games, but you
           can find them on GameFAQs.

Question:  You must be bored to write the walkthrough and to ask yourself these
           questions
Answer:    Why, yes. I am bored.
