~-~-~=Introduction=~-~-~
(INTD)
Hey, Xhoyl here. This is my first attempt at a Walkthrough. I am an avid
fan of Shining the Holy Ark and thought the only FAQs of it at Gamefaqs
were not worthy of this great game. Here is me trying to do better.
Hope you enjoy it.
A word of caution to those who may be new to this game, it is not easy by
any means. The only save locations are the churches inside of towns, there
are no dungeon save points. Personally I think it adds a degree of
difficulty I quite enjoy, but many may think otherwise. Most dungeons will
also require multiple forays to complete, so make sure to always have at
least one Angel Feather at all times, even if you have the spell Return, you
may run out of MP and not notice. If however against all odds you do die,
do not fret, you will simply lose half of your gold, but retain all your EXP
and items. The gold toll does get hefty at later stages of the game, but by
then you'll have enough party members that everyone dying is not very
likely. If you are wondering, this walkthrough is in fact completely (99%)
spoiler free, I will show the boss names however, but in this game it's
never an issue. Also be aware that I am very wordy, so if you are inattentive
enough, simply refer to the item and fairy lists before each section and
find them yourself why don't you.

i---Desire Mine---(DSMN)
Herb X4
20 Gold Coins
40 Gold Coins X2
60 Gold Coins
Leather Glove
Iron Circlet
(1)Succubus 1 - Muran
(2)Leprechaun 1 - Dana
Bat (Drops: Herb)
Ghost (Drops: Herb)
Hind Beetle (Drops: Herb)
Zombie (Drops: They all drop Herbs okay!?)
You begin at the start screen, press start of course. Though if you wait
you'll be treated to a secret menu song, so maybe not so quickly.
You will be given the option to name the main character, I'll call him by
his default name of Arthur, so just be aware of that. Now the game really
begins. People talking and stuff (pick either yes or no, doesn't matter),
and you eventually end up in control. No enemies or items for now,
and the path is very straight forward, so just keep chugging along. You
eventually come face to face with a guard, talk to him so he moves his
arse out of the way, then just keep going. You finally get into the room
you were looking for and meet Rodie, choose yes or no, once again doesn't
really matter. Either way it's time to FIGHT!
-------------
BOSS - Rodi
HP: 60
MP: 10
ATT: 27
DEF: 10
MD: 3
AGI: 7
EXP: 12
Gold: 0
Drops: None
Special Attacks: None
Magic: Brutal Fire L1, Ayakashi L1
-------------
The first boss. Don't be fooled though. He's no pushover, at least as far
as first bosses go. He can and likely will kill one of you before the fight
is over. Best strategy is pretty simple. Have Arthur always attack, and
Forte should always use Blaze. Melody is the only person who's actions
should differ depending on if anyone needs healing. If not have her smack
Rodie with her rod, not much damage, but better than nothing. Don't worry,
eventually she will get some damaging magic, so this won't be a common
occurence.
His attacks include Brutal Fire, which does good damage to you,
thus the reason for the possible dying mentioned earlier. He will also
mezmerize you with Ayakashi, which will lower you characters attack rate.
And then of course he can just attack. He is very fast though, and more often
than not will go before your guys. So an attack after a Brutal Fire from last
turn usually means that you get to eat sweet death, since Melody isn't fast
enough to save you. Anyway, he will go down at some point.
After Rodi's defeat the game takes over for a while. Lots of story goes on,
you lose a party member but gain another. Finally you will be in control
again. Thanks to your new friends, if any of you die, after battle you will
come back with 1 HP, which is nice when you haven't even had a chance to
save yet. You start out in a largish room with some boulders. Take note that
my directions are so that you will obtain every item and every faeire as
soon as possible. My North, West, South, and East directions are also based
upon the map you open with the Start button, which you should consult often.
Also, a little tip, use the C button to search, if there's anything there,
it will instantly be found. Otherwise it'll bring up the normal menu.
DESIRE MINE BASEMENT 1
Go North, then up the stairs. It's a dead end, but search the boulder for an
HERB, free stuff never hurts. Go back downstairs and take the east hallway,
which then goes South for a while. You will reach an intersection, don't go
West yet, it's just a dead end, unless you're an obsessive map completer such
as myself. When you reach the end of the hallway obviously go West, and
follow the path to another intersection. North is the way to go, if you want
free goodies, as you should. Be weary, this hallway has many indents, which
Zombies love to spring out of. They can paralyze you, so kill them fast.
Rodi's Brutal Fire only does a little more than his attack right now, so I
Wouldn't waste the MP unless you're desperate. At the 4th indent on the left
side, check the wall for an HERB. Continue to the end of the passage for an
IRON CIRCLET, equip it on Melody right away.
Backtrack to the previous split and be on your merry way. You'll arrive at
a small room, take the North East exit for 40 COINS. Now take the North West
exit and go North (pot's empty). But up up up, through the useless round
room and go West as soon as possible for another 40 COINS. Go back then keep
going East, take a tiny detour to the North for an HERB, then just continue
East, ignoring the North path for now. At the end of this path is a nifty
60 COINS. That's all the items for this floor. Now go back to the ignored
North path and go up the stairs.
DESIRE MINE FLOOR 1
The second you arrive at the next floor go into the next seemingly useless
indent you come across. It yields the game's first faerie, a Succubus named
MURAN. Faeries are an interesting aspect of this game. You use them to
preemptively attack enemies for extra damage as well as extra EXP and Gold.
It's pretty much win win. Now this particular one attacks enemies from the
left, and is activated by pressing the C or A button right as enemies show up.
Zombie's for example come from either the left or right, so pressing C as one
shows up from the left and BAM, more damage, EXP, and Gold for you. You
should also know they make item drops much more likely, so try not to miss.
You will acquire more faeries as you progress, In fact you'll get another
just after this dungeon. You can switch between them with the L and R buttons.
I'll explain which direction they attack from as you get the first of each
kind.
Now that you have a faerie I'll share a little tip for those playing on the
Saturn and on some emulators if they indicate loading. Listen to it. When you
hear (or see) a loading sound, like a small swish, monsters are about to show
up. It works about 90% of the time. This way you can plan accordingly and be
able to more easily use the appropriate faeries for the situation. Anyway,
time to move on. Go down the straight path until you can go East, do so for
20 COINS. Back on the path continue to go forward, even when you see other
ways to go, until you go into a large chasm room that looks like it's empty.
It's not though, so search for a LEATHER GLOVE, equip it on Rodi.
Now back at the four way go North then West for another HERB. With that you
have acquired all of the items in this dungeon, now to just get out of here.
Also a good suggestion is for everyone to at least get to level 3 before
leaving this place. Go South until you can't anymore, then just keep going
West, it's that simple. Now you're out, but you're still not done. After
going down the incline, go left and follow the small path, search at the end.
You will get your first Leprechaun. His name is DANA (I know, not a very
manly name). They attack from the ground, which in the next dungeon will be
the main place enemies come from, so keep him handy. Now you can finally
leave this place for the world map. Go to Desire Village first, the
forest should wait for now.
ii---Desire Village---(DSVI)
Quick Chicken (AGI 3-5)
Arcane Garlic (MD 3-5)
1 Gold
(3)Incubus 1 - Lantano
(6)Pixie 2 - Cherry (not accessible yet)
Specials
Item shop
Elixir - 1000
STOP. Do not do ANYTHING but go straight to the church. NOTHING. ESPECIALLY
DO NOT ENTER THE INN. The next segment has the capability to RUIN your game.
You definitely want to have a save after all you've done, and one you can
actually continue no doubt. After making sure that you have in fact created
a save, we can safely move forward. In front of the church is a little boy,
talk to him and answer yes, his dog is in the forest you'll be visiting
very soon. And his prize is something to not be missed. Now go back to the
main town. There is a shop house, a Blacksmith (more on that later when we
have some mithril), and the aforementioned INN OF DEATH. We'll deal with it
in a sec.
First go to the house to the left of the shops. Search the right
side of the house where there's a plank of wood. Say hello to your first
Incubus, LANTANO. They attack from the right, keep note of that. Now
search the side of the inn with crates, you will find a QUICK CHICKEN.
DO NOT USE IT YET. I'll explain the reason later. Now enter the
Blacksmiths, search the right barrel for an ARCANE GARLIC. Do not use it
either for the same reason. These are stat boosting items, and when used
increase a certain stat permanently, but it's random. So you want to make
sure to save before using them to get their max increase. The max is
dependant on the item. I suggest using them on Arthur as you will pretty
much always be using him, but it's your call. Anyhow, when you do want
to use them, the range's of the increases are as follows.
Energy Bread(HP): 6-8
Magic Nectar(MP): 4-6
Power Juice(Attack): 3-5
Protect Milk(Defense): 4-6
Arcane Garlic(Magic Defense): 3-5
Stamina Onion(Breath Defense): 3-5
Quick Chicken(Agility): 3-5
Lucky Cookie(Luck): 3-5
Critical Juice(Critical): 3-5
Brave Apple(Level): Always 1 (save these until end game)
You can also enter the house without a purpose to the right of the Village,
searching the bed nets you a whopping 1 GOLD. And then you get scolded
for taking it. Such a waste of time, but I just can't play this game
without doing it. Anyway, at this point I suggest we get the Inn over
with. Okay, so go in, and make sure you talk to the wolf looking guy in
the corner, if you leave the Inn without talking to him your game is
screwed, because he will be gone FOREVER. And talking to him is required
to continue. So after talking to him and saying Yes, talk to the dragon
warrior and his partner. Also talk to the innkeeper/bartender. You can't
rent a room just yet, so don't bother. Now leave the Inn, and walk a few
steps forward, the game will take over again for a little. After the scene,
go back into the Inn, and ring the bell to rent a room. After talking that
night (answer yes or once again your screwed) you are finally past the
point where you can mess up your game...WOO. Now, save your game again
if you're super paranoid like me, or just continue to our next destination,
the shops.
Side Note: It has come to my attention that the above may very well be a
LIE. Or just wrong I guess. I've been told that even if you do not talk
to Doyle, you can still find him at your room at night when you can
finally rest. I have not tested this, but I have no reason to believe it
is incorrect. However, simply for the sake of safety, it may be best to
heed my suggestions and be extra careful anyway. You have been warned.
...Again.
Now, if you got to level 3 before leaving the mine as I suggested earlier,
then you should have just enough to purchase everything you need before
visiting the forest. Purchase all 3 weapons and equip them of course. And
Buy all the armor for everyone EXCEPT the Bronze Shell and Middle Shield,
Also forgo the Iron Circlet and Leather Glove since you already found
free ones. The reason for this is because you will find those two things
in the forest, so it's best to save your money and not buy them. An
Angel Feather is a must buy as well. If you ever don't have one on you,
GET ONE. I just assume you sold your old stuff while buying the new,
which is almost always the way to go, at least until you start getting
items you can use for free spells. Worst case however it ends up in
specials sections and you can buy it back. Now after all that, if you
didn't save earlier after the Inn, save now. If you did, save again
anyway. It is now time to take on the Forest.

Here we are. Hope you can bear with me, this is much less linear than the
last dungeon, so I'll try to help with general directions and references
to the map. Be thankful that this is nothing compared to later locations.
The way I usually go about this place is in two trips. I will
collect all the items and find the puppy, then Angel Feather my butt out
of there to rest/save/collect the kid's reward. There's also a boss at the
end, so the resting/saving is quite recommended before attempting him.
Enter the forest and begin going South East, you'll see two lone trees in
the middle of the path as you go East, right most one has an HERB.
Continue South, even as the path branches East until you find a chest,
open it for a BRONZE SHELL, equip it on Arthur now if you have any sense.
Continue as North East as you can go, the tree nearby has a WOODEN STAFF,
clearly useless to equip, but you can always sell it later. Now carefully
make your way South East, if you go all the way East to a small bend, a
Trent will appear, it's a set battle. You'll want to fight it since he's
guarding a fairy, but it's up to you whether you want to fight him now
or later, I usually prefer later, Trents are tough cookies. Having Arthur
at at least Level 4 does wonders though. Anywho, if you do beat him go
North then West one square and search for Fairy DAISY, these attack up
creatures, which we don't have any as of yet. But we will next dungeon.
Now go South again for a while, you'll come to a circular split, go North
West and search for an HERB. Almost straight South from here you will run
into a bush, search it for an ENERGY BREAD. Past this bush South and East
nets you another Trent if you wish, but this time it's guarding a much less
needed ANGEL FEATHER (I only got it because I have to collect everything
forever) West is the order of the day now, continue going that way even
as you go a little North to hit a small lake. The obelisk is not useful
yet, and won't be for a very very long time, so ignore it. Venture to the
North side of the lake, and search for the Pixie MAPLE, Pixie's attack
straight ahead, my favorite to say the least. Head around the lake and
grab the dog, don't worry he doesn't take up inventory space. Now go West
to a small detour for a chest with a LUCKY COOKIE. Yum. Back to North side
of lake, continue North into the cemetery. Instantly turn left and search
the first tombstone you come across for a sweet MIDDLE SHIELD for Arthur.
Equip...no, I shouldn't even have to say it. Northmost section of the
cemetery should have a solitary patch of gravestones, search for another
ANGEL FEATHER. Now at this point I highly suggest using one of your possibly
many Angel Feathers to escape the dungeon and doing the previously mentioned
resting/saving. Don't forget to return the dog for the Pixie CHERRY.
...Done? Good. Suggested level at this point is 5 for Arther, and 4 for
the others. Now make your way back to the cemetery (the map is your
friend. A dear, dear friend). Loop around the North side and South West
to come to a tomb much fancier than the previous tombstones. Healing is
suggested, since the boss will appear as soon as you step forward...
TOO LATE.

If you tried to use fairies you should be aware by now you couldn't.
Yeah...They're no good on bosses I'm afraid. Suck it up. After his flashy
appearance the music should cue you in that it's time to kick some
ass. Really, the music is awesome, but that may be just me. Anyway, don't
be too intimidated, he's a pansy in comparison to next one. At this point
there's not much choice for strategy, Arthur attacks (yawn) Rodi uses
Brutal Fire L1, and Melody uses Hell Blast when no one needs healing.
Remember when he attacks and how much he does on average. If he goes
before Melody, and an attack next turn has the potential for killing
someone, have a faster person use an Herb. Freeze hurts, but it's only
single target at this level, so meh. Lingering Ghosts is more annoying
in my opinion, slowing your people down so he may even go first, not
a good thing. He is quite the Hit Point sponge though, so just keep
it up and he'll scream that wonderful death scream eventually. CUTSCENE.
Now you have a choice. Personally I just bite the bullet and continue
right now. But if you're super paranoid, leave and rest/save again. I don't
advise it however, waste of time. Open the tomb and descend into the
darkness...

Oh Forest Cave, how I remember thee. The difficulty is upped a small amount
here, but not enough that you can't handle a straight spelunking through
right after the boss. While there are only four new enemies, they show up
quite often, and punch hard, so heal a lot. Don't worry, as soon as you
all start gaining levels they'll be fodder just like the others.
FOREST CAVE BASEMENT 1 NORTH
Go South until you hit a crossroads, the hole to your right has an HERB
if you fancy. Ultimately you'll want to go East though, do so then go South.
At the end search for the Fairy IRIS. No, not a fairies eyeball
coloring, and no not the song (though that would be sweet) that's her name.
Moving on, go back to the split and go South. Doesn't matter which way, they
all end up in the same place. When you reach yet another split very soon
(like 3 steps soon) go East again for a BRONZE STAFF at the end. Back at
the split, go South, then Southeast past all the rocks until you can go
Northeast, do so for an ANTIDOTE from a rock or stalagmite (sorry, I forgot,
it's a small room anyway). That's all the items for this floor. Go back to
previous rock infested room and then venture Southeast into a similar hovel.
Work your way around those rocks to the stairs at the Northeast.
FOREST CAVE BASEMENT 2
Go straight South until you smack your head into a wall, no really do it.
Hehe, got ya. *ahem* The hole to your right has a present for you. Search
it for the Leprechaun TAK. Now those many ground enemies will eat delicious
Leprechaun death. THAT'S RIGHT, WHO'S YOUR DADDY GROUND MONSTERS. I AM.
Go East then North for a FEATHER ROBE. South and a little West leads
you to another rock room. Walk (or run, what do I care) South until you
hit your head again, then go East and search for the Incubus ENJEWEL.
Now make your way Northeast around the rocks to the room exit and just keep
going forward, ignoring the path South. (By the way, if you didn't already
know, you can tap forward twice to run, it's nice for long hallways, and it
just might lessen monster encounters. Though I'm not sure, it just seems
that way with me, so don't quote me on that). Now go South until you pass
a mass (not even going to bother mentioning what it is anymore, if it gets
in your way, it's a mass.) The mass one square West of that one can be
searched for an HERB. WE'RE JUST ROLLING IN RICHES NOW. More South if you
please, then go a few steps East and search the 2nd of two masses for a
MAGIC NECTAR. Scrumptious. Exit East out of the room, and ignore the South
path for now and take North one. At the end is a BRONZE BRACE. Final item
of the floor. Back at South path, take the stairs at the end up.
FOREST CAVE BASEMENT 1 SOUTH
Last leg of the race ladies and gents. South and follow the path, ignore
first South path but take second one (pot you passed is empty, from now on
just assume if I don't mention an object it's a cheapskate that offers
nothing for your valuable time) and follow the path East for a little bit
until you see a waist high hole. Crawl into that sucker. Go all the way
West ignoring all paths and go North, then West into another hole. At North
end is a MITHRIL ORE.
Okay, I know I promised to talk about Blacksmithing once you finally
found some Mithril, I lied :P Here's the skinny. The cost to make this
something useful is not only steep right now, but requires going all the way
back to Desire Village. My advice is to wait until you have more of the
stuff and more party members to use it on, and quite possibly when the
quick path between Enrich and the village is open. Besides, Mithril Ore
stuff isn't THAT great (at least not yet, better stuff is smithable from
Ore at a later time). It's when we start getting Mithril Ingot we'll want
to start smithing those babies.
Get back to that first hole you crawled into (path we passed South contains
a Cobra Pot if you wish for a good fight. I advise against it unless
Melody has Antidote L1. They poison like nobodies business.) Go South past
the hole and search mass at the end for ANGEL FEATHER. Behind mass is
another Cobra Pot if you want. Anyway, take East path and ignore first
South if you don't wish for a brawl and take the next little hole you see.
Search mass for SCALE SUIT. Last dungeon item. Out the hole take path East
then South (hole has yet another Cobra Pot) and take the hole to the East.
Inside is the Pixie WILLOW. South then West will lead you out of this
place for good.

(13)Succubus 3 - Roberia
(14)Pixie 4 - Cedar
Specials
Item Shop
Royal Crest - 1000
(Disclaimer: You find a Royal Crest in Aborigine Mansion.)
Finally made it to a town. I'd get to know the place, it'll be the main
town you use for much of the game. Turn right as soon as you enter and take
two steps forward and turn right. Enter the door. Search the Fireplace for the
Incubus MASAKARI. Now exit and make your way towards the shop in the middle
of town, but don't enter it yet. Instead go into the little alley a man
stands to the left of and search the first window on the right for the
Succubus DAHLIA. If you want yet another faerie it's time to do some
well diving. You heard what I said. From the entrance the well is gotten to
from the exit on the West side of town, it'll have a little icon that looks
like well... a well. In you go. No, I'm pretty sure this is perfectly legal.
Now wade through the towns people's only water source with your dirty dirty
boots towards the East and follow the path to the end. Search for the
Succubus ROBERIA. That's it for now, rest of the well will be accessible
soon enough. Now back to the town, you probably want to sleep/save now.
Good idea, go to the Pub and try to sleep. CUTSCENE. after that go
save if you wish. Now it's time to buy us some stuff. The stores will have
some nice new things to buy. My suggestion is buy all new weapons, and
then buy whatever armor you can afford. You won't be able to get everything,
trust me. You'll need a dungeon or two under your belt before the higher
tier armor is affordable. Once you've bought all you can we'll want to
go to the castle, it'll be at the exit with the castle icon next to it.
Talk to a guard once or twice until they open the gate. Keep going until
you go up some stairs then make a left until you hit The Suspicious
Looking Wall. No, it's actually called The Suspicious Looking Wall. Don't
ask me why, it's one of the games great mysteries. Search it anyway for
a STAMINA ONION. Maybe it was just for the item? Or maybe the developers
had a dark secret in store...
Onward to the throne room, very straight forward. Once you make it there's
a CUTSCENE. You'll be in the Enrich dungeon's. Search the wall behind you
for an HERB.
Update: I received a tip from a generous benefactor about two items I have
missed in the jail cells. One being a FAIRY POWDER that's in "...the only
other unlocked cell that should be nearest the well and on your right while
looking at the well." And the other pops up much later after returning
to the castle for... reasons. Of plot related significance. That item is
a LIGHT OF HOPE and should at that time be in a newly unlocked cell.
I will remind you of the second one when we come to it.
Now get out of the cell and get to the well, down you go.
We're now in the other well, you'll see a crystal looking object nearby,
grab it for CRYSTAL KEY. You'll need it. Go South towards a dead end.
Now usually you search the ends of tunnels and whatnot for items/faerie's.
But not this time, take a step back, then search for the Pixie CEDAR. It's
a dirty trick I know, but it's the only time it does it thankfully. With
that Crystal Key in tow we can now get back to town, get another faerie,
and continue into the next dungeon. Let's go get that faerie first. Take
the Southeast path out of this room and follow it to a door with crystal's
on it. Use the key we just got to open it. Continue down the path and into
a portion of the dungeon we'll be visiting soon.

Ice Siren (Drops: Potion)
Jelly Polyp (Drops: Herb)
Striker Pod (Drops: Fairy Powder)
Reaper (Drops: Steel Helmet)
Scissor Crab (Drops: Iron Shell)
There's no enemies in this little section so just walk the tiny path and
open the chest for the Leprechaun MORGAN. Now go back to the well. This time
taking the Northeast path out of the main well room. you'll meet a certain
someone, CUTSCENE. He functions like a normal bishop (or whatever the save
guys are called) except he allows you to rest for FREE. Pretty sweet. Make
absolutely sure you save, for reasons I'll mention once you step into the
dungeon itself. Take the Southeast exit out of this room.
Okay, we're here. Word of warning, this is where the game takes a large
step up in difficulty. If you thought the game was pretty easy up until
this point (as I did my first time) you're about to be taught a studious
lesson in pain and anguish. Be ready with those faeries, I would think
by now you'd have the hang of using them mostly. Got to be quick on the
draw for the majority of monsters here, but that's pretty much the way
it'll be for the rest of the game, so get used to it.
So your first foray in here should be primarily concerned with gaining
levels, if you want to try to continue at the same time, more power to you.
But believe me when I say that monsters will chew you up and spit you out
here at your current levels. And you CANNOT TELEPORT OUT. No Angel Feather
or Escape magic use for you. No, I'm not kidding. So you have to trek back
out of the place when you're done, which will yield more monsters. So do
not take this place for granted and gain some friggin levels. The monsters
of particular nastiness include the Ice Sirens, Scissors Crabs, and Reapers.
All three will be your bane for quite a while. Ice Sirens come from those
blue puddles you see everywhere, so avoid them when possible, and have
Leprechauns at the ready. the Crabs come from any left or right corners, so
they're much harder to avoid. Reapers are even worse, coming from the ground
of pretty much any location. Be afraid, be very afraid. Thankfully the one
saving grace of this dungeon is the lack of a boss, so don't worry about
that. Erring on the side of caution, let's make our way through this
death trap.
The first object were looking for is the Snake Crest, it's one of three
we need to progress. After entering the dungeon, the South
path will lead you out into town through the other well you entered,
so just know that. Without much reason to do so yet, just go North
then East across the bridge. Go South past the dead end and the first path
East, take the second East path to a dead end, search for the Fairy
CAMELIA. Go back and take the first East path. Go South when you can.
Continue going South, ignore all stairs (they're dead ends right now).
Take a small detour to the East and South a little for an ANTIDOTE in the
pot. Or not. Go back and continue Southwest. Once you're near the water you
can go North if you wish to fight a Cobra Pot, they should be easy by
this point. But ultimately we need to keep going South. Ignore East and
West paths and go into the small tunnel, on the other side make your way
Southeast to the bridge. Once again you can go East for a Cobra Pot, but
eventually you need to cross the bridge. Go East until you can't anymore,
ignore everything else, then do the same again, but North this time.
(There's a Cobra Pot on the way). MORE NORTH. NO ASKING QUESTIONS. Finally
we'll reach a chest, open for the SNAKE CREST. One Third of the dungeon is
now complete, be happy for that. Now get out of there if you want to live.
Nothing important or anything. After hopefully making it back alive and
sleeping/saving we can move on. You may also now be able to afford the more
expensive equipment at the shop, so go there if you want.
If not, or if you just prefer to wait, let's move onward. The next crest is
actually pretty easy, but having the Snake Crest when you get it will make
our trek here a little faster. Go back to the East path past the first
bridge. This time keep going East instead of taking first South exit. Take
next South way at the end, then go through another small tunnel. Go West a
bit until you see an indent on the wall, use your Snake Crest here, it'll
help later. Go back East and up the stairs. Ignore West way and go North.
I know the walkway stops, JUST KEEP GOING. YOU HEARD ME. Plop. Now you're
right by a chest with the GOAT CREST. Get it of course, it's what chests
are for. Now we have a bit of a decision, you can go East for some
goodies (okay one, but it's pretty nice) or go up the stairs and plop back
over to the other side. I suggest the item, but do as you will. For said
item go East, then South, Then East all the way (North path has...you
guessed it, another Cobra Pot) search the pot for a SLASH DAGGER. Equip it
on Arthur already. Woo. More criticals. We haven't done a huge amount
this foray, so I suggest we do one more, but by all means go back and
save if you want. Anyway, we want to go back to that first tunnel we
went through Southwest on the map. You there yet? Good. Use your Goat Crest
on the indent nearby, stuff moves. Behind the now moved wall is a POTION.
Now I suggest you sleep/save again, because the path to the final Crest
is a long one fraught with many Reapers.
Okay, after that we now want to get back to that tunnel at the Northwest
area of the map near where we dropped and got the Goat Crest. Go up the
stairs before where you dropped, but go West this time, the path should be
complete now because of previous Crest usages. Follow the linear path until
we reach a split. Go West for a chest with an IRON BRACE. Back at main
path we'll reach a 3 way intersection. Go East for CRITICAL JUICE.
Then West for our precious EAGLE CREST at the end. Since leaving the place
gets us so close to the place we use the Eagle Crest we might as well get it
over with. After getting back to that tunnel down the stairs, this time go
West then South down a hallway, another indent should be seen. Use the
Eagle Crest. Into the now open passage, speak to mister skeleton. Don't
worry, like I said there's no boss fight here. He'll give you a clue for
the next dungeon (Not that you need it with me) then you can grab the
GOLD KEY behind him in the chest. We're done here. For now. We won't be
back for a long time though. Hightail it out of there.
Back at your free sleep station the guy will tell you to use the key.
Once you leave you can't use him anymore. So say goodbye. Back in town
you should most likely be able to afford better equipment, perhaps
even all of them. Fret not if you can't, the next dungeon will give you
the money you so desire. Ha, get it...desire... *cough* Anyway.
After saving in town, it's time to make a trip to the Aborigine Forest
and beyond.

(19)Incubus 4 - Krupis
Repeats: Hell Slave, Reaper
Vampire Bat (Drops: Herb)
Man Eater (Drops: Antidote)
Twin Head (Drops: Steel Glove)
Ghoul (Drops: Leather Robe)
I know we're SUPPOSED to go to the mansion, but the forest has some nice
goodies to loot that will help quite a bit in the mansion (Which DOES have
a boss this time, and he's a doozy). So I suggest we clean this place out
first. If you disagree, continue to the next section by going to the West
to reach the Mansion, then come back here later. For the rest, follow me.
Being very similiar to the last forest we went to, directions are difficult.
So once again use your map a lot (although you should be anyway). Also, be
wary of Twin Head's, they are annoying as crap. Have Melody cast support on
herself to speed up, so she can go fast enough to heal anyone who needs it.
Usually after it breathes fire from both heads, and it WILL do it.
Man Eater's are also a little bothersome, but at least they don't have any
group attacks. Oh, and kill Vampires Bat's as soon as possible, they can
temporarily incapacitate party members, multiple ones. Fun stuff.
After entering the forest just go North until you reach the actual cemetery
part of it, if you can't tell when you are, you need help my friend. Nothing
more I can do for you. Anywho, first tree you see has an ANGEL FEATHER.
From here go West past a tomb, it's empty don't bother. Then North and a
tiny bit East. Facing the tomb here, turn right and search for the Fairy
PEONY. Then search the tomb for a POWER SHIELD. That's Arthur bling.
Make your way back to the first tree, and continue Northeast. From now on
most tomb's contain Ghoul's unless I state otherwise, so either fight or
ignore them, your choice. The thing's aren't too hard really. Just open
the tomb's with the C button and have your Pixie's ready to pound them.
Now it's kind of difficult to say where this is without many landmarks in
this place, but I'll try. After passing a tomb to the South and going North
turn to the West, you'll see another Tomb, go North again and East. You
probably think this a dead end, and you'd be right. But if you search the
tombstones here you'll get the Leprechaun KOKUS. No, you CAN'T search and
get him from the other side, don't ask me why. Now get back to that South
tomb and go Northeast this time. When you see a tomb to your East go North
when you can and search the first tomb you come across for the Incubus
KRUPIS. Then go Northeast to another tomb, this one's got a shiny STEEL SWORD
so Arthur can start killing everything within a mile radius. SLASH. EXPLODE.
It sends nukes in the direction you slash at. Neat huh? ...I'm kidding.
*sigh* If only. Back to reality (or technically not, this being a game).
Get back to that East tomb from earlier (such poor landmarks). Then go
West and North when you can. Follow the linear path until you can go
either West or North, go North. Search first tomb for a CHAIN MAIL. That's
all the items for the forest. For later reference, that West path is where
we go after we finish the Mansion, remember that. So get out of here, either
with that Angel Feather or Arthur's Return magic. Rest/Save, and meet me
back here. Now go West until you see some lights that kind of look like
eyes. Creepy. Go towards them anyway.

AHHHH, BATS!!!
What's that you say? I spoiled Basso joining for you? TOO BAD. Just kidding.
It's not a big deal as far as the story is concerned, It's not like he
DIES OR ANYTHING. BECAUSE SPOILING THAT SHOULD BE AN OFFENSE PUNISHABLE
BY DEATH AND SEVERE NOOGIES, PREFERABLY IN THE OPPOSITE ORDER.
I'M LOOKING AT YOU FF7 FAQ MAKERS. I'M LOOKING AT YOU.
...Anyway, get to the door and use that Gold Key, it is now useless,
so sell it when you can. Open the doors and go inside.
ABORIGINE MANSION FLOOR 1
Okay we're supposed to go upstairs and to the left, but we rarely do what
we're supposed to now do we? Take the right door and go straight North into
a large room with a clock. Search the top middle of the room for the
Leprechaun ZIRCON. Alright, now go back to the main room and go up those
stairs.
ABORIGINE MANSION FLOOR 2
East door is locked, take West one. Keep going West. First North path leads
to naught but a Chest Ghost. They are essentially this games mimic's,
taking the form of chests for unwitting adventurer's. Oh, and they can
cast Soul Steal L1. Scratch that. They WILL. They always cast it. ALWAYS.
So best be prepared to take a gamble if you fight one, someone can easily
end up dead. Instantly. If you still insist on fighting them, good luck.
If you have a wit of sense about you, just keep going West. Then go North.
STOP. There's the Incubus LIKNIS in this hallway. His exact placement
elludes me at the moment. just search the walls, I think he's higher up the
hall. Now go East. Door is locked, we'll be back. Go North. East path is for
later, Go East, North, then East again so we can go down some stairs (door
may be stuck shut, just ram it down with a good running start).
ABORIGINE MANSION FLOOR 1
Finally back downstairs. East, North, West finds us down another hallway.
Search the South side around the middle for the Succubus ORLEA. Back to
the stairs, South then West leads to a small room. Which is locked. Come
back later to search the boxes in there for an IRON SHELL. The chest has
a Chest Ghost. Knock yourself out if you want (Get it? Because he can
kill you ...HA). Go East then South when you can. West room has a
BROAD SWORD in the chest. Equip it on Rodie, he will thank you. Then go East.
CUTSCENE. Now you finally have a fourth party member. It really helps.
Let's go get the Old Key so we can start going everywhere. Continue down
the hallway to the East, then South, then West past a locked door, then past
another locked door. Enter the non locked room. We have to solve a little
puzzle here. And by that I mean read a wall poster and do what it says.
Really, if you can't solve this, this game may be beyond your abilities.
I'm terribly sorry. Absolute worst case, if you mess up you can leave the
room, and after one or two steps the room will reset. so after arranging the
tables and beds like the poster says, a passage will open to the North.
Search the chest for the OLD KEY. Go back to the last locked door we passed.
Open it with the Old Key, search the Southwest section of the room for a
ROYAL CREST for Basso to equip, and only Basso. Go East and unlock this door
for kicks. It leads back to the entrance. One last thing before we leave to
rest/save/buy basso some better equipment. Go back to the locked door at the
bottom of the stairs this floor to grab the aforementioned Iron Shell.
Now you should leave, use the door you unlocked, unless you're REALLY lazy
and use Return. Then leave the Mansion and go back into the Forest before
using Return again. Shop has a better axe for Basso, so get it. May also
be able to improve his armor. Okay, I assumed you did the usual already.
Back we go. Alright, with the Old Key in tow we can start doing what we
need to do here. Go up the stairs in the entrance.
ABORIGINE MANSION FLOOR 2
Now we can open the East door. Do so. Remember, green door's may need to be
broken down with a run, while red will need the Old Key. I won't be
mentioning it again. Go all the way East past North path to a medium sized
room. Search Northwest corner for a SILVER TIARA. Leave room and go North.
Continue to the West. North path leads to another Chest Ghost. You know the
drill. But more to the West is another room, go inside and search the West
side, say yes, then you'll obtain the HOLY WATER. Big whoop you say? We'll
need it later, so lay off. Exit the room, go East all the way, then North.
East, then South when you can gets you to another room. Search table for
POWER STAFF. It's a nice attack boost for Melody. For the sake of simplicity
(and less walking) use Return to get back to the entrance.
ABORIGINE MANSION FLOOR 1
Okay, go into the right door like before, but instead of going North, go
East. Ignore other North path too. The next one however, take into a small
room. Stuff will float around. OOOH, SPOOKY. Use the Holy Water to make it
go away, then grab the ARCANE BOOK. Exit the room, go East then South for
yet another room. Another puzzle here, chest is a Chest Ghost. Push the
table to the West for another secret passage. At the end is the
DRUID's ROBE. Melody can wear it. I know she's not a Druid, details
details. Back to the long hallway, take the second North path all the way
up. You'll see stairs. West path leads to POTION, East to FAIRY POWDER.
(A Fairy Powder? Really? That's almost as bad an Herb.) Take the Stairs now.
ABORIGINE MANSION FLOOR 2
North, West, South, West, we're now in the clock room again. This is where
the boss will be fought. Not yet, but soon. Very soon. Take Northwest door
out of here. West, North, West, South (ignore East path to stairs) East
all the way. We're back at the room we ignored before. Search table for
MITHRIL ORE. Then use Arcane Book on empty book slot at the Northeast of
the room. Open the chest for CLOCK KEY. One more item and we'll have
everything. That one room we passed earlier on our first time up here?
Go there now. Inside will be a STEEL SUIT. That's everything.
Alright, we can use the Clock Key to fight the boss right now.
But that would be stupid. So instead leave this place and do the usual.
Now get back to the clock room on the second floor. Use the Clock Key at
the Northeast end of the room. Lots of sounds. Walk towards the center...

Oh boy. Get ready for a real boss. Sorry, but last one was a sissy.
This guy means business. He hits hard, really hard. Start casting Support
L1 on everyone, beginning with Melody and then work your way up. He has
an aim attack, which means at some point next turn he'll probably hit
someone friggin hard with an Ultimate Attack. It's not pretty. So best
have said person defend if you can. He also casts Lightning L1, don't
have to tell you that it hurts. Melody will be on full time healing
duty this fight, if she isn't someone will probably die. You might
even need Arthur to chip in for healing every once in a while, as
little as Heal L1 does, it's better than nothing if someone might
die next turn. Basso should attack of course, not much else he can do.
Have Arthur attack too, though Rodi might be better served to do his
Lightning L1, since his attack isn't the best. He's got a lot of HP
as you can see, so you'll be at this for a while. But eventually he will
go down, so take heart.
When he finally does, you'll be able to go behind where he was guarding.
Pull the switch here. You can now access the Catacombs. Refer to previous
section on how to get to it.

This place is puny, and its boss is...underwhelming to say the least.
But we need to do it anyway. Upon entering the place, go South then West
for a little, then South again. Around a corner go Southeast, it should
look like a dead end with a statue, search it for a LUCKY COOKIE.
Then face to the East and push the wall. You heard me. It'll move out of
the way revealing a passage. Follow it to the end for a POTION. Go back to
the statue and go South then West as far as you can. Turn South and push
the wall. Once again follow the passage to the end, but this time there
is more than one thing to obtain. First get the QUICK CHICKEN at
the end for reference. The Succubus LACEY is along the walls in this
hallway. I think it's on the left side higher up, but just keep looking,
you'll find her eventually. Anyway, afterwards make you way back to where
you pushed the South way to get here. Keep going North and a little East
(West path has nothing) until you hit a door, since you pulled that
switch behind the Time Warrior it should be open. Pass through it.
Take the West way until you hit another dead end, push the wall again.
Follow passage for a QUICK RING. Equip it on whoever, but it works well
for Basso with his low speed. Back at just North of the door, continue
East this time. Southeast at the intersection and you can search a
statue for a FAIRY POWDER. Now go Northeast. Push Northeast wall here
for yet another passage. At the end is a PROTECT MILK. That's everything
here. Now to get to the boss. Don't worry about going back to rest
or save. It's a waste of time. So go Northwest from that entrance
to the passage you just opened to find stairs. Take them. Walk along the
short hallway until this guy pops up.

Meh. Compared to Time Warrior this guy needs to think about a new career
outside of Game Boss. Honestly, why does he have half the HP? At the very
least he could have TAKEN longer. But no, he's apparently quite alright
with his puny 470 HP. Just...just kill him okay, I can't stand to see
his disappointing mug anymore. ...Well, if you insist, I'll provide a
strategy. Hit him until he dies. There you go. You can see his attacks
right up there okay? Stop bothering me. After hitting him enough
(not much at all) He'll...die I guess? Thought he was a vampire,
so I don't know, he unundied then. Good riddance either way. CUTSCENE.
Basso leaves. No biggie, we'll get him again very soon. Open the chest
for the GRAVITY STONE. Get back into the Catacombs and then use Return.
Go back to the Forest and use it once more, you're out of here.
Rest and save only because our next area is quite a pain,
not because we really needed it.
Side Note: It has come to my attention that for some people the vampire
can be, I don't know how to say this, actually difficult. Apparently he
can use some laser eyes move to cause someone to stop moving and slowly sap
their HP. which I guess is pretty bad. If he ever used it on me, it was
very rarely, and he died too quickly for me to notice. Sorry, I still
hate his guts.

More caves...Haven't been any extremely original locations yet have there?
I'm kidding. Just go South then East, CUTSCENE. Basso joins again. Now go
back, it's for an item okay. Near the entrance are stairs going down. Take
them.
MOUNTAIN CAVE BASEMENT
Path's straight forward, just follow it until a split North and West, take
tiny North path for a POTION. Now hightail it back upstairs.
MOUNTAIN CAVE FLOOR 1
Get back to where we got Basso again, now go South until you pass through
a curved hallway. East has a LUCKY COOKIE. Going West as far as
you can produces an odd surprise. A giant snake just blocked your path
didn't it? As I thought. Just take a detour to the North.
Icy Patch 1
*Sigh* I HATE these. Not really because of the puzzle you have to solve
to get everything and progress in them. No. What I hate so much is the
Air Polyps. They will pop out of holes at anytime on these ice patches.
And they are nasty. Nasty, nasty, nasty. Why? I'll tell you why. Each one
has two abilites that will be the bane of your existence. One, they can
cast Lightning L1. Okay, that's bad, but they can only cast it once right?
I can hear you saying. This is true, but I haven't told you their other
ability. They can summon others. Oh, and it about works 90% of the time.
Having fun yet? So basically they have the potential to KILL YOUR
ENTIRE PARTY IF THEY FEEL LIKE IT. Namely by there being 3 or more of
them that decide to all use Lightning L1. It's not unlikely either.
So just be very very careful, if that's even possible. Mainly just be
very very lucky is more like it.
...Alright, I feel a little better after that rant, let's continue.
My directions for these ice patches are very precise, so follow them exactly
or you will probably have to start over. And always be ready to use faeries
if near a hole. Air Polyps will eat your soul otherwise. From entering
the room take one step up (for simplicity I will just use up, down,
left, right instead of directions here, simply replace North with up, and
so forth). Now you're on the ice, take another step up. It'll move you two
from now on. Now go right, then up twice. We'll get the chest in a second.
Go left twice so you're right by a hole. Then go up twice, you'll hit the end.
Left once, down once, right twice, down once. Right once then down once to
open the chest for a POWER BRACE. Equip on Melody or Basso. Now go back
to the entrance, we need to reset our position. Now again take one step
onto the ice resulting in two. Then right, up twice, left twice, up once,
left once, down twice. Now you can leave.
MOUNTAIN CAVE FLOOR 1
Back on good old solid ground. Go South then East, then South a tiny bit
for one of three Mini Bosses. You can use faeries on these by the way, Pixie's
to be precise.

The name's a bit confusing, seeing as he has three heads right now. But
that's what he's called, so I'm going with that. Once again, easy stuff.
He can poison, and the flame breath does moderate damage, but really
he's not bad at all. Support L2 for good measure, as Melody should have
it by now. If not, it's not a huge deal. Other than that, high attackers
should attack (Arthur and Basso). While the rest use most their powerful
magic, whatever that may be. After besting him he'll lose one of his
heads and slink away like the chicken he is.
Now we can explore more of the cave. Good for us? From your current position,
head South until you can go West, do so. After going as far West as possible,
go North until you hit a wall, now push against it. Follow a small passage
for the Fairy LILY. Now go West along the curved hallway, then West again
when you can. Going South will yield yet another snake blockage. We'll
just have to do something about that. Go down the stairs to the Northwest.
MOUNTAIN CAVE BASEMENT
Head West, South, West, then South two steps. Push the wall to the West.
Behind it should be a MAGIC NECTAR. Now get back to the stairs.
Begin going East, following the linear path until a split. Take Southeast
path, then go South, West, South and search for the Succubus RIPANOS. Now
just go Northeast until you hit the stairs, take them.
ICY PATCH 2
Great. Another one. Alright, you know the drill, once on the ice we'll be
going two steps for every one. Take one step up, still on normal ground.
Now take another step up, we're on the ice now. Go up one, left one, up
one, we'll hit a wall. Now go back down once, then left one. We can reach
the chest now, open it for a MITHRIL ORE. Right, up, right, down, right
three times, down two times to hit a wall. Left once, down once, left once,
up twice, and right twice to get another chest, it contains the
Leprechaun MANGUS. Down twice to hit a wall, left, down, left twice and
we're out of here.

Get ready for another mini boss. Go North then West for him to show up.

...He's exactly the same essentially. His stats are a little different, but
it's negligible. Do the same thing as you did last time, no new strategies
needed here. He'll lose yet another head and run away.
Okay, so now we want to go exactly where he ran away, straight West, then
up a little curvy path until we reach the last snake blockage, then take
the stairs nearby.

Okay this is a long path, but it's extremely straight forward. There is only
one thing to get here, so I'll let you get there yourself. So just keep in
mind that what we're looking for is in the second pond. You there? Now
search the South side of that pond for the Pixie PALM. That was the final
thing this floor. (It is my suggestion that you now leave and rest/save
because we'll soon reach the final bosses of this area) Now just continue
along the very easy to follow path until you hit the stairs
(chest is fake, just a ghost).
MOUNTAIN CAVE FLOOR 1
Alrighty, go North then East and be ready to Pixie the final mini boss.

Hmm. He's no Time Warrior. But he's certainly a step up from the last "boss".
(I used those quotations in a mocking manner if you didn't notice).
Really, he's mostly a harder version of our three mini bosses, but don't
take him for granted, his fire breath does hurt everyone, and he can pack a
punch. And he will almost always make sure someone's poisoned, every time
I cured it he just poisoned them again, so it may be wise to not bother.
So Melody should Support L2 of course, then have everyone else...
do damage. There's not a huge amount of variety available as far as
attacks go yet, so use what you got. But mostly Arthur and Basso should
attack while Rodi and Melody use magic. Pretty simple. After wading through
his Hit Points he'll go down once and for all.
Now, we have one more item to get before we get out of here. After fighting
the snake you're basically in a giant oval, so follow that oval to the
Southwest, then North, Northeast, Southeast and finally West for a
LIFE RING. It's a pretty nice ring, heals the wearer every turn and can be used
for free healing, equip it on whomever you like. Now let's blow this popsicle
stand. Get to Southwest part of the giant oval and take West, then South
path. Keep going South and you'll finally get out.

Okay, so do the obvious. Then it's time for some shopping. They have quite
a few nice things here. Buy all of it, you should have the money. At least
I did. If not you can always come back during South Shrine. This is also
the first set of shops I should mention that contain "secret" wares we
actually want. The item's I am refering to are the SPIKE SHIELD, and
COURAGE SUIT. The shield is gotten from the armor shop obviously, and the
suit from the item shop. A trick to get them is to just go into the shop,
then exit right after. Keep doing this and at some point they will stop
you as you leave and mention the item's in question. The Item shop also
has a few other things, but most are too expensive and potent for us right
now. Oh, almost forgot, we have two faeries to obtain. Search the
barrel to the right of the shop entrance for the Pixie APPLE. Then search
a tree near the church for the Fairy AZALEA. Go to the one large building
that isn't the shop, inn, or church and go into the back for a CUTSCENE.
We're done here for now. Save again if you want and leave for the world map.
Enter the South Shrine.

Alright! Now THIS is a dungeon! We have entered the first of the last major
dungeons in this game. Be warned right now that the pathways will be
confusing, and the monsters downright evil, but that's what I'm here for
isn't it? With that Gravity Stone in tow, let us begin.
Just thought I'd mention the music here is pretty awesome (though a certain
later dungeon's music is even better in my opinion, I'll mention it then)
You really got to appreciate this games soundtrack.
SOUTH SHRINE FLOOR 1
So anyway, walk North a few steps and turn to the East and search the first
statue you come across for a POTION. Continue North, then turn West when
possible. You'll come across a crypt. These often contain mummmies,
so be warned. A good rule of thumb is that if you can move backward from
the crypt, it probably has a mummy. This one fortunately does not, so open
it and descend the stairs.
SOUTH SHRINE BASEMENT 1
Nothing to see here folks. Go North then East, open the crypt to find a mummy.
Fight it and proceed down the now accessible stairway.
(Since I got you anyway, here's a side note. Around corners you are very
likely to encounter Coin Beasts. They may look strange, but do not be
fooled. Any and all physical attacks will be useless against them. So
if you really want to kill them, be prepared to spam magic like it's
going out of style. And sometimes, just to be jerks, they'll run away
anyway after you use your previous MP. But if you do manage it, they
give good money, as you might expect. So give them a try if you want.
Otherwise feel free to save yourself the hassle and just run away.)
SOUTH SHRINE BASEMENT 2
Go North and read the plaque if you so desire. Quite honestly, it sounds like
gibberish to me. But what do I know? Anyway, go East then South into a large
confusing room. The order of the day here is walls that come out of nowhere to
block your path. Quite literally from nowhere, just right up out of the floor.
No manners at all those walls. Explaining the path here would be more effort
than it's worth really, just use trial and error. Ever hear of that? In this
case, it means going where you can go, and not going where you can't. It's
not rocket science people. You'll eventually (I hope) find your way through
the maze of ill mannered walls to the Southeast and happen upon a chest with
the MAGIC MATTOCK. This handy device will allow you to smash those pesty
walls, or at least the ones with the purple symbols on them. Do so whenever
possible. TAKE THAT WALL. GET IN MY WAY WILL YOU. SMASH. Anyway, make your
way to the north end of the room to find another crypt. Open it for an
ENERGY BREAD.
Now make your way back to the Northwest, probably by smashing as many bloody
walls as you can get your pick on. Now go back up the stairs.
SOUTH SHRINE BASEMENT 1
Once again, nothing here. Don't know why I even bothered to place a floor
marker. Just go upstairs already.
SOUTH SHRINE FLOOR 1
With your magic pick in tow, you can now access more of the shrine. Go West
until you hit a wall and then hit it. Instead of continuing that way, go
South a little then East to another wall. Hit it, and then grab the
Incubus CYPRESS in the crypt. Go back West, then South and East to a
small hallway with several indents. First one is a statue that spits
out Goblins. So ignore it if you want. Second one has an ANGEL FEATHER.
Whatever. And last one is currently empty, but we'll be back this way
later...
Now go to the wall, then South, then West, then South, to find another crypt
and a statue to its left. Search it if you want, but it's a Sphinx,
so yeah. Use your Pixies, etc etc, kill it until it dies.
He is annoying though, so you might want to avoid him for now. Oh, and the
stairs in the crypt are just a dead end, just in case you fall in one of the
holes up North. So ignore it. Go north and navigate around the holes until
you stop. SCENE. Despite your better judgement, go into the dark spiral
hallway. HOLY CRAP WE'RE ON THE CEILING. THE MAP IS BACKWARDS, AHHHHHHH!!!
Okay... calming down. So, some good news and bad news. Good news, there
are no enemies on the ceiling. Bad news, the map is going to be hard
to follow because you will be going backwards. Also, there will be a lot
more of those pesky walls getting in your way again, except you cannot
smash most of them. Blast. Keep in mind that the map arrow is correct,
so pay attention to where it says you're facing and consult the map
even more often than you should already be.
Before we continue, let's get ourselves some bling. Yes, there are items on
ceilings, dare you even ask? Make your way East, South, then East (on the map
of course) then go all the way South, then East into a hallway with three
little branches. The farthest one East has a crypt. Yes, it's a crypt on
the ceiling. Don't ask me why the lid doesn't just fall off. It's magic
or something. Anyway, open it for a MAGIC NECTAR. OM NOM NOM NOM. Wait,
um, don't eat it actually. Do as I say, not as I do.
Now go all the way East, then North until you find a hole in the wall. Yes
I know I'm being vague, there's no enemies anyway, just deal with it.
Now just go North, then West when you can, and keep going that way until
you hit a curved hallway. Follow it and go East, then South for another
ceiling crypt. Open it for a SHIELD TIARA. Now Melody should feel like a
pretty princess.
Go back to the curved hallway and follow it to a semi long hallway with
three south branches. Take the middle one, and go around the...well round
hallway. Now, there's another spiral hallway, but make sure you go into it
from the West side, otherwise you'll just come face to face with another
hole in the ground. It sends you back a long way too, so I wouldn't even
taunt it if I were you. Alright, now we're back on solid, monster infested
ground. Good for us? Statue north of the spiral hallways has a team of
colored Goblins to fight, if you feel up to it. Now go back to the East
until you almost hit a hole. Go North from it for an ELIXIR.
Okay, now go all the way West again, just like when we were on the ceiling.
Except this time we meet up with another purple wall, and it's not going
down without a fight. Actually, first things first, search the empty alcove
to the South for Succubus KATHOREA. Missed that my first go for SOME reason.
Don't ask me how.
Anyway, use the Mattock, for a battle with a Wall Beast.
They're fairly difficult, and they're required, so just consider them
mini bosses.
Anyway, he'll die...eventually. Then go East and South to find yet another
crypt with stairs in them. Go down.
SOUTH SHRINE BASEMENT 1 NORTH SIDE
Straight ahead is another spiral hallway. It may seem like a dead end, but
with enough exploring and avoiding of those pesky rising walls, we'll
soon have our precious prize. There's also another item, so let's go
get that too.
Alrighty, so after going through the spiral, head South and only South, no
detours, capiche? Then go West and South for another ceiling tomb with a
POWER JUICE inside. I still don't get why the lid doesn't fall off...
Logic aside, (who am I kidding, you're walking on the ceiling) it's
time to get what we came here for. Go back North and East, and keep going
until you hit a wall, then head North all the way through the curved
hallway and follow the path to a darkened doorway. Go through.
SOUTH SHRINE BASEMENT 1 SOUTH SIDE
Here it gets a little annoying. We have to deal with some more walls getting
in the way, and unfortunately we can't smash these ones either. >=(
Go South until you can go West, then go South again, East, and North until
you can turn East. Ignore the south passage, it's a dead end right now, and
go East, North, then East again, once again ignoring the north passage.
Go South until you can turn East, and then go North, South will only lead
to yet another wall. Now follow the passage all the way to a tomb. Open
it for the STONE KEY. Well, we're done here. Now go allllll the way
back to the spiral hallway and onto normal ground. I trust you can reverse
your steps.
SOUTH SHRINE BASEMENT 1 NORTH SIDE
Alright, we're back where we started on this floor. No worries though, with
the stone key, we have the means to succeed.
Go North from the staircase until you come to an intersection. To the West are
two sphinx statues, one is a trap and contains a Goblin mob. The other has
a POTION. The Western most one to be specific. North path is just a way
back if you do something stupid later. Otherwise, this way is just another
dead end.
Back at the intersection go East this time. You'll come across
another Sphinx statue (this time it's an actual sphinx battle) and
another spiral hallway to the south. Do not, I repeat, DO NOT go that
way yet. If you feel so inclined to ignore me, you will be met with a giant
bowling ball in the face, knocking you down a floor. Serves you right.
Continuing East, go South at the end and go through another darkened
doorway.
SOUTH SHRINE BASEMENT 1 SOUTH SIDE
Go North and Magic Mattock any purple walls in your way, don't worry, none
of them are wall beasts. You'll spiral around to a tomb with a MITHRIL ORE.
Now go back already. This time go South, once again smashing walls.
Still no beasts. Not yet anyway. Just keep going South until you go through
another curved hallways. This dungeon just loves 'em.
First intersection, and by now you might recognize this place. Except now
it's not upside down. Go East for now, then South, and East again. Now
north through a curved hallway and search the southern indent for
LEPRECHAUN DARBIE. North indent is another sphinx battle, if you care.
Now back to the intersection, and go West this time. This time go down
the south path we ignored on the ceiling (there's a wall to break)
for a DRAGON ORB and, you guessed it, another Sphinx battle. Not go back
North and keep going West.
You'll come to another wall, destroy it and go North, you'll pass
by another sphinx statue, but this time it gives you a QUICK CHICKEN.
How nice of it.
Go North into the darkened doorway.
SOUTH SHRINE BASEMENT 1 NORTH SIDE
To the East is another crypt with a mummy and some stairs, but if you want
to avoid the mummy and still go down for the goodies, follow me.
To the West are two holes. Drop down one. Go on. I know we normally
avoid them at all costs, but this time it will save you some trouble
instead of causing it. JUST DO IT OKAY.
SOUTH SHRINE BASEMENT 2
There, that wasn't so bad was it? Alright, so now you're in a very
symmetrical room. You have to go all four ways though, so tackle them
in any order. Two of the walls are Wall Beasts though, I'll let you
find out which one's on your own. Why? Well why the crap not.
The items to be found are as follows: chest in south east alcove by a
wall has an ANGEL WING. Not a quick chicken as some maps will have you
believe. LIES. BOLDFACED LIES.
North Passage just has another Sphinx fight, so I guess you can avoid
that one.
West has an ARCANE GARLIC. YUM YUM YUM. GOES IN MY TUM.
And Finally, East is the exit, so you kinda need that. Go that way I guess.
SOUTH SHRINE BASEMENT 1 NORTH SIDE
Alright, now you're back upstairs, just outside of the crypt that I'm
80% positive had a mummy. Hooray for our laziness.
Now go West, this time avoiding the pits, and back your way North.
You'll see the spiral hallways, but ignore it, it just leads to
another one of those very rude walls. Instead, go North some more, West,
then South to a locked thingamabob. I don't know, it doesn't look
like much of anything to me. Call it what you want. Just use the
Stone Key on it. Alakazam, it is open. Now follow the path
to yet another spiral hallway. Go on through.
Final time on the ceiling, I promise (for this dungeon anyway...).
Now just go East East East, until you get to the spiral hallways with
the giant bowling ball of doom from before. This time it can't get you,
because gravity doesn't work that way. Usually.
On you go.
SOUTH SHRINE BASEMENT 1 CENTER
Oooooooh. Ominous. Read the plaque if you wish, but I'll just write it
down here. Because I feel like it.
"Offer seven stones equally to two gods."
What madness is this? As you venture around the chamber you will find
more plaques and some gemstones just lying around. YOINK.
So basically we got ourselves a number puzzle. I'll write down the
clues from the plaques, once again, because it tickles me.
"Aquamarine is worth half as much as the black onyx."
"Opal and sapphire together are worth as much as the black onyx and
emerald put together."
"The diamond is worth as much as the aquamarine and emerald put together."
"The emerald is worth twice as much as the aquamarine, black onyx, and
opal put together."
"The sapphire is worth as much as the black onyx and opal put together."
"The ruby is worth twice as much as the black onyx."
Figure it out yet? No? You fool. Just make it into an algebra equation.
Like so.
A is Aquamarine, B is Black Onyx, etc, etc.
2A = B
O + S = B + E
D = A + E
S = B + O
2E = A + B + O
2R = B
Math is fun!
No? Just substitute them where applicable, so for B, put 2A instead,
and so forth until you can solve for a single variable. For the sake of
ease, just make one of them equal to one. Like...say...Aquamarine.
The rest solves itself.
Still haven't figured it out? Fine, I'll spoil it for you if you REALLY
want me to.
...Are you sure though?
Absolutely, positively sure?
Seriously, just do the math. It's not that hard.
Really? You're gonna make me do it anyway aren't you?
I'm not kidding, here it comes.
It's totally on the way.
Serious this time.
.....
FINE. BE LIKE THAT WHY DON'T YOU.
Aquamarine = 1
Black Onyx = 2
Opal = 3
Ruby = 4
Sapphire =5
Emerald = 6
Diamond = 7
Total is 28, make sure each statue gets 14 points worth of gems.
HOPE YOU CHOKE ON IT.
After solving (HA!) that puzzle, you can now attempt to pry the sword
from its stoney prison.
Of course you knew it couldn't be this easy didn't you?
Time for a FIGHT!

She's a keeper. So, um, yeah. Her attacks are up there. Personally,
I would just ignore the mummies she summons, because she just brings
them right back. But if they really give you that much trouble, then it
might buy you a little time. But not very much.
Sorry if I'm not as "thorough" as my previous bosses, at this point
I kinda just phoned it in and hacked my save so I could just finish
the stinking walkthrough already. I'm sure you understand. :)
So yeah, good luck I guess. If it helps, I don't remember her being
particularly difficult. You're welcome.
Okay, so I assume she's dead now. Take the SACRED SWORD from her mangled
corpse and Egress out of that business. Back to town we gooooooo.
(Oh, and have Arthur equip it if you haven't already. It's a pretty sweet
sword.)
Walk to one of the houses in back (the one that isn't a church) and
go inside the room for a CUTSCENE.
Akane joins the party!
Also, now check the bush outside of the Inn, which now inexplicably
has TURBO BOOTS. And no, you couldn't have gotten them before.
Apparently someone got drunk and left them there AFTER you went to the
South Shrine. Go figure.
Anywho, I'd say gear her up, but she already has the best of what the
shops currently have to offer. Good deal. Time to go back to the
Enrich Dungeon.
There? Okay, now do as the woman says and go to the Northeast Peer. She can
beat yo @$$.
Once there, a "secret" boat will take you away to a previously inaccessible
segment of this dungeon.

ENRICH DUNGEON BASEMENT 2
This is a fairly small area, and most the enemies are repeats, so no
worries there. What you should be worried about is the boss
awaiting you once you've finished said dungeon. She is not
a happy camper. My advice? Power level. Power level like a crazy
person.
Oh, and once you're here, there is no way to leave. Not physically
anyway. You'll wish you listened to me about the angel wings
now won't you?
Anyway, go East, Then South and take the northern branch. Yes, I'm aware
it's an empty hallway, go down it anyway. Push against the wall.
It's an evil trick, I know. But I'm just the guide maker, not a
designer. Check the jar for INCUBUS ASTER. Now go back to the start and
go North this time, then East, then North again past two side paths which
have absolutely nothing in them, except for the northwest one which has
a small doorway, go through it.
Now go West, North, East, North, and through another small doorway,
opening the chest for a LIFE CANDLE. No, not a Pixie, that's coming up.
Once again, the map is full of deceptions. Ignore the path West of here
unless you want to fight a Chest Ghost. And if you do, please seek
some help.
Now go back to the first doorway, and this time go South to some stairs.
ENRICH DUNGEON BASEMENT 1
South, East, North, West, West again and South for a chest with a
LIFE APPLE. I'd save them if I were you. Now just go all the way north
until you hit a chest. However, it is a trap with another Chest Ghost.
The real prize is to the left of it, Turn West, then push the wall.
Seriously, who would find this on their own? Unless everyone just goes
around pushing against walls all the time. Is it just me? Anyway,
check the jar for PIXIE LIME. It's making me thirsty...
Alright, so South from the chest and go East to find some more stairs.
ENRICH DUNGEON FLOOR 1
Not much to see here folks. Once you're in the only room, check the
Northwest chest for a POTION. Then check the southeast wall for a
MITHRIL ORE. Great job hiding that one guys. Now that is officially
all the items in the dungeon, and for the love of all that is holy,
teleport out and SAVE YOUR GAME. I wasn't kidding about this boss.
She will eat you, THEN kill you.
After getting back (or not, if you're a brave fool) go East through
the room and take the stairs up again.
ENRICH DUNGEON FLOOR 2
There is nothing here but the platform up and the stairs you just
took. Worst. Floor. Ever.
Now take the platform if you dare.

Heeeeeere's Rilix. Yeah, she hurts. She hurts bad. Oh, and she brought
some friends. The Evil Spirits you JUST DEFEATED. They're back.
Fun time is over ladies and gentlemen.
She'll barrier them and herself with L2, making your physical attacks
much less useful, and then use Attack on herself to make her
attacks hurt even more. And if she's feeling generous, she might
Lightning Level 2 you until you die. Oh, and the evil spirits
will sometimes use Freeze at the same time.
Yeah, good luck with that.
Hopefully you kill her, so it's time for another CUTSCENE.
Forte joins the party!
Town of Enrich now has upgraded special wares. And maybe normal
wares, I don't friggin remember guys. I'm adding this in after

Spike Shell - 12500

Elixir - 1000
Goddess Tears - 300
Squeak Sandals - 5 (Useless garbage. For collectors only.)

Also, you may now return to the jail cells through the well and obtain
a LIGHT OF HOPE in a newly opened cell. Or so I have been told. I will
confirm this myself someday. Probably. Maybe. If I feel like it.
Okay, now I know what you're thinking, time to go to the West Shrine right?
WRONG. IT IS NOT THAT TIME YET. Instead, go back to the far east village.
You heard me right. Yes you have to go through the mountain cave again.
Don't dawdle.
There? Good, now go back to that room you went for Akane earlier and
whatnot. Village elder will talk about Doyle and his desire to join your
party. But he isn't there. Now where could he be?...

Here, that's where. Get back to Desire Village through the now accessible
gate from Enrich. But still no Doyle. What a conundrum this is. Here's a
hint. He's hiding. And he's really good at it.
One more hint, what wasn't here last time? It's like one of those
picture games where you look for what's different. Except you can't see the
previous picture and you have to recall it from memory. Give up?
He's a tree. Yup, a friggin tree. How you were ever supposed to know
he's here and a TREE, I don't know. Anyway, I don't feel like telling
you which one it is, so just check them all. There's like, what, five of
them? It's not a huge deal.
Doyle joins the party!
Okay, I'm sure by this time you're wondering what all those shiny metal
things you keep getting are for. Unless I already told you. I forget
these things sometimes. Anyway, you can use them to make sweet items at the
blacksmith here. Be aware that the thing in question is randomly chosen
from a list of preset items for whomever you decide to make it for.
Here is said list because people don't like doing things themselves.

But, that's not what I wanted to talk about. Now, you're probably wondering
why this Doyle dude is so special. He's got like no magic. And if you
level like I do, he's underleveled. Well, blacksmithing is where we fix that.
See, what we need is actually gotten from the West Shrine however, thus you
will need to go there first and come back. So just go to the next segment
and come back here when you get a Mithril Ingot okay?
Got it? Good, now SAVE first. I can't stress this enough. When I said the
item made is random, I wasn't saying it for kicks and giggles. And it's
determined at the time you give it to him, so saving afterward will lead
to swift and utter disappointment on your part. And make sure the ingot is
for Doyle, not anyone else, because then all you will get is sadness.
Now, go to sleep. No, not in real life, go to an inn you silly chipmunk.
Back at the blacksmith, if you're lucky (about a 5/16 chance to be exact)
you will get the MITHRIL CLAW. Now you got yourself a real killing machine.
Why? Because for whatever reason, with this thing equipped, Doyle will
easily critical about 50% of the time. No, I am not making that up.
You now have one of the best damage dealers in the game, congratulations.
Okay, NOW it's time to go to the West Shrine for good. Just continue
where you left off I guess. ...Or start, if you just read ahead anyway.

Ahh yes, the West Shrine. Quite possibly my favorite dungeon. Maybe
of all time. You hear that music? Perfect atmosphere. And probably
my favorite track in the entire game. It's a little thing called immersion
folks. More developers should take a crack at it me thinks.
WEST SHRINE FLOOR 1 EAST SIDE
The turtle to the West is currently unusable, so just ignore him.
He doesn't like you anyway. Something about insulting his mother.
Okay, so first things first. South, there's this giant barrier in your way,
which if you came here earlier, you would have noticed prevents any
entry in any form. No matter how many times you smack your head against it.
It's got a symbol that looks like a sword on it. Hmmmm...
I really hope I don't need to spell it out.
Just use the Sacred Sword already. Geez.
Okay, so just keep chugging South, ignoring the obviously useless subpaths.
When you hit a wall, go West then north to a short pier, and search the
end in the water for the PIXIE PEAR. And now I'm hungry again.
Now go South, then West, ignoring the south path for now, until you
get to an intersection. Go North to find yourself at an oddly empty pier.
Turns out, this is another one of those sneaky items. Search the West side
of the pier. No, not the water, the peer itself. So you'll be in the middle
east side, facing West. You'll find yourself a MITHRIL ORE.
Back at the intersection, go South this time for TURTLE SNACKS. Interesting.
Perhaps this will persuade that turtle to let bygones be bygones.
Return to the turtle and give him the snacks. MUNCH MUNCH MUNCH.
He looks happy now. You know what they say, the fastest way to a turtles...
lack of being angry is to give him food. Or something.
Take a ride on his shell, because apparently that's a thing. Now
grab the two chests for a BATTLE ARMOR and more TURTLE SNACKS. Realize
this was completely optional, and is in fact missable if you use all your
turtle snacks in the dungeon before this. That's why there's an extra set.
Now go back to the south path we ignored earlier to ride a platform.
Yes I trust the floating rock supported only by water, why do you ask?
WEST SHRINE FLOOR 2
Go West until you see some water, then North to another turtle. Give him
him some snacks and ride that sucker. Now go West, then South to what seems
like an empty hallway. It sort of is, but just for kicks get a running
start and bash yourself into the wall. Ouchies. Well, that created a semi
shortcut of sorts, but it was mostly to teach you a lesson. One, never
hurt yourself just because someone tells you to. And second, when you
see those grayish, sickly looking walls, they can be destroyed by running
into them. Just like those doors from the Aborigine Mansion. If you even
remember that.
Anywho, go back to where the turtle brought you and go North this time,
then West to another rockOHMYGOODNESS.
WEST SHRINE FLOOR 1 EAST SIDE
Well that smarts. Despite your obvious mental and physical injuries,
go North, then West. You'll see a chest, but only try to get it if
you dare, because if you do you'll just come face to face with a
Tentacle. It's the first mini boss of sorts, and it will most definitly
not be your last. Kill him 'till he dies from it.
In his dying rage he smashes up the platform, so no chest for you.
Just kidding, go South, West, and North and just get it from the other
side. It contains a POTION. How exciting and totally worth our time.
Go West through the door.
WEST SHRINE FLOOR 1 WEST SIDE
South is the order of the day, then go West past some giant spool
looking things. Search the South one for yet another POTION. *sigh*
North, West, North for a three pronged dead end. Take the West one and
search the end in the water for FAIRY SISAL. Welcome, welcome to our
humble party of fools.
Go back south and go West this time, then South, West, until you reach
a series of piers.
Side Note: King crabs are the hurt. They come from the left or right side
of corners, so keep those faeries ready. Personally, I would either run away,
or prepare for a long, agonizing time learning your lesson. Least 'till
you're a higher level. You have been thusly informed.
Okay, we have entered the maze of tentacles. Most of the paths here will
lead to a fight with one. But if you know the way you can avoid having
to fight any of them. If you wish to know that path, then follow me.
Otherwise, have fun.
So first there's two bridges, a West and an East one. Take the West.
Then the East bridge. Then the bridge North of that. Then West, West,
North, and you're homefree. Don't go East yet, we need more snacks first.
So go West instead.
You'll find yourself at a rather odd puzzle. These stones, when stepped on,
will alternate their order. So, if you want both items, one of which is the
snacks we require, I suggest you do as I say.
First, go East (the West, and North paths lead to nowhere). Then go West
as soon as you are able and keep going West until you get the chest with
the TURTLE SNACKS. Now go back East, and North this time. At another
interesction, take the East path until you reach the chest with a
MITHRIL INGOT.
Side Note: It as at this point that I suggest you leave and go back
to Desire Village so you can make Doyle his Mithril Claw. Go along now.
Okay, now let's go back to the tentacle maze, this time going East
instead of West to another Turtle. Feed him his snacks already.
He aint got all day.
He'll take you East of here. Go South to another elevator rock.
WEST SHRINE FLOOR 2
East, North, East, North until you hit a chest. It has an EVIL RING.
I strongly suggest that you do NOT equip it. It is quite cursed.
But go ahead if you like pain. And misery. And equipping items you can't
remove.
The west spool looking thing in the same room has INCUBUS ADONIS.
So at least we get something nice in here.
Alright, so go back South until there's a West indent. It seems completely
useless, but step into it, turn to the East, and run to the East to
destroy yet another wall. Go East, ignoring the south path completely
and forever (it leads back a long way with no way back, so I'd ignore
it if I were you.) And just go East. Ignore this South branch as well for
the same reason and take the north one. Slam against the wall for some
more TURTLE SNACKS. Now go back to where the last turtle took us.
WEST SHRINE FLOOR 1 WEST SIDE
Go North this time. Open chest for an ELIXIR. Could have gotten it earlier,
but...meh. Now take East elevator rock.
WEST SHRINE FLOOR 2
Just go North and take another rock back down.
WEST SHRINE FLOOR 1 WEST SIDE
Follow the long, but otherwise straight forward path to yet another
elevator rock.
WEST SHRINE FLOOR 2
Just follow the path North until you see a plaque. I forget what it says,
something about smashing walls. A little late for that advice guys.
Okay, so a little to the North is a West wall with a very slight blemish.
It's not as obvious as previous smashy walls. Once you find it,
you guessed it. SMASH. The EYES OF TRUTH are yours. Now follow
North path back down to...
WEST SHRINE FLOOR 1 WEST SIDE
Not much here, just feed the turtle and be on your way.
At this point, the turtles will stop using automatic paths and instead
give you the option of choosing your way. This might seem confusing at
first, but it's not too bad. Especially since I have it all figured
out.
Go Right. All the time. Never, ever, ever go left. Got that? Right.
Not Left. Right. Right? Right. So...do that. Three rights and you'll
find yourself at...
WEST SHRINE FLOOR 1 EAST SIDE
Open the chest for a GODDESS TEAR. Now ride the turtle again, and...
Right three times yet again. I'm not even kidding. Now you're at yet
another seemingly useless location, but read the plaque to find this
is not the case. Now use the EYES OF TRUTH at the end of the North path.
Some nifty rocks appear to lead you North. Leave and Save/Heal if you
wish. Otherwise it's time to... FIGHT!

I've said it once, I'll say it again. Boss strategies are not my
strongsuit. Particularly because for whatever reason I'm stuck using the
data from the Hard version, and I'm too lazy to fix it. So any strategies
I could come up with would be useless to you anyway. Go figure.
So yeah, he's big, he's mean, and he has two friends. Or appendages I
suppose. Whatever. At the start, using some multi hit magic might be nice,
but just keep Doyle hitting the main guy if you want to be dealing the
real damage. I'm serious, I checked the critical rate for him myself, and
it is so close to 50% it's amazing. Granted it wasn't a massive amount of
recorded instances, but after 50 or so, you start to get the point.
Anywho, he's dead now. CUTSCENE.
Lisa joins the party!
Well, we finally have all the party members. Took long enough. Step North
for the SACRED MIRROR (it's a shield btw, so equip it already) and to the
West is more TURTLE SNACKS. Leave South, then East for the final turtle.
I'm gonna miss those guys. Go Right when prompted for a HEAT AXE. Give
it to Basso, even if you don't use him much anymore. Now back on the turtle,
go Right yet again, and you're back at the entrance. Huzzah.
Now go do your business and meet me at the East Shrine. What kind of business?
You know full well. No, I don't wanna hear it.

I dislike this place. It's kind of like corn muffins. They're supposed
to be sweet, but all they do is make my mouth dry. Unpleasant.
Plus this has one of the first puzzles to confound me. The first time
I played this, I was stuck here for literally days. Good thing you got
me. Right? RIIIIIIIGHT?!
Also, the music is upbeat and catchy, but it's not my favorite.
Some people like it though.
EAST SHRINE FLOOR 1
Alright, let's get this over with. Use the sacred mirror on the barrier.
Go immediately West and search the giant tree trunk for FAIRY MIMOSA.
Now go North through a door, then North through yet another door,
then just to the East is a puddle. Search it for PIXIE PLUM.
Which just goes to show. You can't trust anything to not
have an item in this game. Not even puddles of water.
Side Note: The room just to the south is what people refer to as the
Hattari Room. For the uninitiated, Hattari are this games equivilent of
metal slimes, or in other words, they give a crapton of XP. The catch
being that they 1: like to run away. A lot. And 2: Even in this room,
they don't like to show up as often as one would like. But if you can't
kill them fast enough, I wouldn't even bother trying. My advice?
Come back after finishing the Tower of Illusion, you should be able
to handle them by then. Probably.
Anyway, go up the stairs.
EAST SHRINE FLOOR 2
Just follow the path (ignoring the obvious dead end to the South)
while also avoiding the hole in the square shaped room and
keep going South until you see a statue in an indent to the West.
Search it for GODDESS TEARS. What a nice fellow. Go South just
a tiny bit more for another indent to the West. This one is empty.
Search it anyway for a LUCKY COOKIE.
Alrighty, to the East is a door which leads to a room. Once
you enter this room you will be accosted by two Gargoyles.
And yes, you can use Pixie's, so have at them. These guys
can drop Turbo Boots rarely, so if you REALLY want to, you can
go back, save, and come back and refight/load every time you
don't get any, but that just seems like a huge waste of time
to me. Turbo Boots are nice though, and pretty much required on
everyone if you ever want to fight Hatarri's, so it's your call.
You could go South, but the chest is just a Chesthead. The newest
version of the troublesome mimic. So yeah.
Now go North and West to a hole in the ground. Jump. JUMP I SAY.
EAST SHRINE FLOOR 1
Back on the first floor, you'll find the door out of here is
quite locked. No matter. Open the chest for CRYSTAL SCALES.
One of several such items we need to progress in this place. Now,
how do we leave this room you ask? Look at the spot you dropped
earlier. There's a flower bud poking out of the ground. Search it.
A Mandragora pops up real angry like, I trust you know what to do.
Oh, and you can use Leprechauns on them, but you probably knew that.
After slaying it, it will become a ladder, so take it back up.
EAST SHRINE FLOOR 2
Go back to the room with the statue and just go South until you find
some stairs. Go down.
EAST SHRINE FLOOR 1
Exit the room to the North, then go East to another door. But
before you go through, search the statue to the South for
a FAIRY POWDER. Or... maybe not. Because that's a stupid,
useless item. Go through the door.
Search the chest for a CRYSTAL STAFF. Go back through the door,
and continue to the West. You'll hit a strange wall with a carving
of a lady with nice... assets. Anyway, these are asking for particular
items, the crystal ones we're picking up to be exact, this one says...
"There's no right rule for learning, you just need to keep learning."
A little ambiguous, but we can work with that. Give it the Crystal
Staff. Why the staff? I dunno, I was hoping you knew. I guess
magic represents learning or some crap. Don't look at me like that.
Wasn't my idea. Go South through the door.
Inside is what seems like a dead end, but you can see a bulb
on the South East side. Slay that sucker and up you go.
EAST SHRINE FLOOR 2
Chest to the North is another Chesthead. Just thought you should know.
Instead, go West and down the stairs.
EAST SHRINE FLOOR 1
Man, there is a lot of floor switching in this place. Makes me dizzy.
Exit through the door to the North.
Chest to the West is an actual chest if you can believe it. Open it
for GODDESS TEARS. To the East is another Gargoyle ambush. Wipe
the floor with them. Go North a little, until there's a giant tree
to the East of you, then go West to two more lady walls. Their
inscriptions are as follows.
"Judgements should be fair." For the North.
"Art requires a good eye, rather than good tools." For the South.
These ones make a lot more sense, so put the Crystal Scales in the
north wall. But we don't have South one's item yet, so we'll be back.
Go West into another room. Take the North path for a CRYSTAL SHIELD.
Exit back to the East for now and go back to the tree.
Go North past the tree. Take the first West, and go inside the door.
Nothing but a chest in here. Open it for a HOLY RAIN. Them's good
healing items. Exit the room.
Go East then North and West to another door. Enter it. Nothing here
but another Mandragora, send it back to its maker and climb its
twisted corpse to freedom.
EAST SHRINE FLOOR 2
Go South. Just...go South. You'll see two chests as you reach the
bottom, and a turn table thingy will turn you West once you step forward
to open the South one up. Tricky little devil. Especially considering
the West chest is a Chesthead. So turn to the South and open the
real chest for a HOLY CREST.
Go back North but take the East path this time when you can. You'll
be staring down a statue that is quite clearly in your way. His
name is Taros, and he does not like your shenanigans. He's pretty
much a mini boss, so beef up and take him down Holy Ark style.
Now nab the chest for a CRYSTAL EYE. The item we were missing from earlier.
Don't go back just yet though, we have a few more things to pick up.
Go back North where you climbed up the hole, but go East this time.
Then south into a room with only a hole in the ground. Jump.
NO TIME FOR THINKING!
EAST SHRINE FLOOR 1
Go forward (there might be a scripted gargoyle fight here, I'm not sure.)
for another lady wall. It says...
"Don't try to win, try not to lose."
If that's not a shield, I don't know what is. So stick your Crystal Shield
all up in that lady wall. Yes I know what I said, shut up.
One more to go. Now take the mandragora back up.
EAST SHRINE FLOOR 2
Go North and drop down yet another hole. That can't be healthy.
EAST SHRINE FLOOR 1
A very small room with only two options. A mandragora, or ANOTHER mandragora.
Decisions, decisions. You'll need to fight both of them anyway, so just
do it already. Take the North one up.
EAST SHRINE FLOOR 2
Open the chest for a MITHRIL INGOT. Seems almost worth it. Drop again.
EAST SHRINE FLOOR 1
...And go back up again to the West.
EAST SHRINE FLOOR 2
That's gotta be a record or something. Anyway, now is the time to go
back down to floor 1 the way you came here. Just go South, then
West and drop AGAIN.
EAST SHRINE FLOOR 1
Go back to the lady walls. Insert the CRYSTAL EYE into the south one.
You will now hear the sound of water flowing apparently.
Really guys? Now that's what I call subtlety.
Just go West now, back into the room from earlier. Now take the South West
path to yet another mandragora. This is the last one. I promise. Up you go.
EAST SHRINE FLOOR 2
Only one chest here, but it has actual stuff, so raid it already. It
contains a MITHRIL ORE. You can take that to the bank. Or the blacksmith.
Whatever floats your boat. Go East up the stairs to finally reach...
EAST SHRINE FLOOR 3
This place is evil by the way. If I don't tell you to go somewhere, or
especially if I tell you not to, DON'T DO IT. Unlike before, none of the
holes here are good. So avoid them at all costs. OR DIE.
Well, not really. But you will have to backtrack, sometimes a lot. So
just don't do it.
Two chests in this initial room. Northmost one is good and contains
a POWER JUICE. Other one is bad and has a Chesthead.
Leave the room, then go South until you find another statue blocking you.
This one is optional, but I advise killing him anyway, cuz the chest
has nice stuff. Homicide is fine if you do it to get nice stuff.
It's like... in the bible or something. Right?
Whatever, he's made out of metal anyway. Screw that guy.
Open the chest for a MITHRIL INGOT. Murder doesn't feel so
bad anymore does it?
Ignore the path to the East because it's stupid and I hate it. Instead
go North all the way for yet another Gargoyle encounter. Those guys
don't know when to give up.
Oh, I assume you've figured it out by now, but you need to step on those
buttons to open the doors, and then run before they close. That first one
was easy. They get worse. Search the West spool looking thing for
LEPRECHAUN SOLO. He's a jolly fellow. And he likes to eat his jello.
It makes him really mell...okay I'll stop now.
Go East. North path is blocked, so take South one. There is a button, and
then another button, AND THEN ANOTHER. Sweet mercy, we have to run don't
we? However, doing that will also prove bad if you're not careful. For
you see, at the end of this button marathon is a hole. One square after.
So you have to not only run, but then STOP on a dime. Have fun.
After that madness (it has only begun) go South, then West to find yourself
back at the tree trunk again. Go East to a chest with an ELIXIR.
Back at the trunk, go South this time. Ignore the chest. It's, you guessed
it, another Chesthead.
Ahh yes. Here we are. The moment we've all been waiting for. See, this little
"puzzle" is what I talked about earlier. There's a button. And you press
the button to open the door for a limited time. A very limited time.
But here's the rub. The tile just in front of the door is a turn tile.
So the second you run onto it, it will turn you to the left, thus causing
you to fall down a very, very unfortunate hole. Where does it take you?
To the East side of the second floor. Basically the beginning of the dungeon.
So take my advice and listen to what I tell you word for word.
1: Start on the button
2: Face SOUTH. You heard me. Do not face the door like a normal human
being would. That's stupid.
3: Profit. Sorry, couldn't help myself.
3 for real: Okay, so practice this little move if you know what's good for
you. Hold B while still facing South to keep your direction, then move left,
if you did it right, you should now be facing the door. Of course it's
probably gone and closed by now. That's why you need to practice it.
So, do this a few times until you think you can do it quickly enough.
Then when you're facing the door, go forward into the room really fast.
Glorious.
With that over with, the rest of the dungeon is pretty much a breeze.
Congratulations. Now loot the place. Grab the first chest for an ELIXIR,
and the second for the CRYSTAL JUG. All this work for a jug? You'll see.
Okay, so leave the room, taking into account the turn tile, and go
all the way to the West past the door I told you to ignore earlier.
It has a similiar setup to the tile we just conquered, except it's
impossible to actually do.
Anyway, you know how I told you all the holes here were bad? I lied.
Silly me. Well, not entirely, this one is useful only AFTER you have
the jug. So yeah, drop.
EAST SHRINE FLOOR 2
Go West out of the room. And we're back here. But now, the well has
something in it. And we have a jug with its name on it. First drink
from it yourself though, it heals you all fully for free. Pretty snazzy.
Now use the jug on it to fill it up. The jug, when used in battle, will
also bestow the same healing. But I advise against that for now. Because
we need this water for a very special purpose. After that though, feel
free to come back and refill it as you wish.
Okay, so we need to get back to the third floor. I assume you can find
your way. Especially if you failed that turn tile at least once.
EAST SHRINE FLOOR 3
Now make your way past the button hallway, but this time, go East,
then South to find...another statue. This one is not optional though,
so slay him and slay him good.
Go up the stairs.
EAST SHRINE FLOOR 4
Well, we're here. If you need healing and/or wish to save, this is the time.
Alright, so use the jug of water on the plant.
What, it's just an ordinaryOHMYGOODNESS.

He's mean. He's green. and he's a seed spitting machine. He's...
THE MAD BLOSSOM. As mentioned, right now I'm not super useful
for bosses, but what I do recall is his spit seeds are not
worth attacking individually. Instead, if you have good area
magics, use them. They work wonders. Other than just, just attack
the main guy and cure poison if you want. But he does it so often
it may not be worth the trouble. Oh, and his shriek can paralyze
So that's something. Once again though, Doyle comes to
the rescue with his 400 HP criticals. I could kiss the guy.
But I won't. Because I don't swing that way.
So now he's dead. Floating in the air will be your prize.
The HOLY PENDANT. Take it you fool. Good shiny, nice shiny...
*Ahem*. Let's get out of this dump. Enrich Castle away!
You there? Good. I'm not gonna make a new section because you're
only here for like ten seconds and I don't feel like it.
So go to the throne room and talk to the king and Sabato. They'll
tell you the mural room is now open. So leave back to the room before
the throne room and go to the right side. Go in.
Okay, so there's this giant gateway, and it has a symbol of a sword,
a shield, and a pendant. Hmmmmmm.
Well, I'm stumped. What? You mean you...OHHHHHHHH.
Okay, do that then. You obviously don't need my help.
Though a note, you can still use the item even if it's equipped.
Like the Sacred Sword, you SHOULD have that still equipped
because you're not an idiot. HEY, WHERE ARE WE GOING? WHAT ARE YOU...

We have arrived. Okay, take 4-5 steps forward and search the ground.
Leprechaun STILT is yours. Not exactly an easy hiding place guy.
You'd think people just searched the ground randomly all the damn time.
Okay, ignore the tower for now and instead turn around and go allllll
the way to town. Now search the windmill for the Succubus VIOLA.
These things are all over the place.
Search the crates in front of the Inn for a PROTECT MILK. Drink up,
you'll need those strong bones. No. Seriously. You will.
Then search the crate to the left of the shop for a STAMINA ONION.
Go inside the house on the rightmost side of town (there's no map okay).
And search inside her chest (?!?) for the woman's only possession and
steal it. You get an ELIXIR. Hope you're happy with yourself.
That's all the free stuff in town I think, so do the usual.
Now, the shop has some nice stuff. Some really nice stuff. Like
premium, end game type stuff. But of course you have to sell
your family into slavery to afford it. So you're definitely going
to have to come back later. But buy what you can (weapons preferably,
because you don't need defense if things die quickly enough.)
Ready now? Okay, if you dare, step out of town and run all the way to the
Tower of Illusion. Wait, something fishy is going on here...
Yeah, you can't go inside because the tower doesn't even exist.
What a pity. So I guess that's it then, better go back andOUCH.
What's this tablet doing here...
"When the chosen are lead by the four words, the Tower of Illusion
will awaken from its deep sleep."
Deep sleep eh, and I thought it was dead. *rimshot*
...
Let's move on.
I'm not even gonna mince words this time. Here's the solution. Because
I care just that little for this puzzle.
Tower of Illusion Puzzle Solution
Stand on the lowest panel closed to the village. Face the tower, we will
assume that is North. Turn to the left (West) and walk towards the
Southwest corner. Stay facing the same direction (hold B button) and move
right 4 times. You will hear a confirmation sound. Now all the while
continuing to face West and go right 4 more spaces, then go backwards
8 spaces, then left 4. Confirmation sound. Now turn around and face East.
Go backwards 4 spaces. Confirmation sound. Now finally face the tower and
walk forward 4 spaces to the last tablet. The tower will appear before you.
Now go inside.

I hate this place. I hate this place with a deep, hot, red, burning,
itching passion and I wish it didn't exist. Yes, I know the music here
is a throwback to Shining in the Darkness, which I played, and I enjoyed.
But this place... this is just unholy. It is the Hell to which people in
Hell are sent when they are deemed to be too evil...TO BE IN HELL.
*sigh*
Let's just... do this. I don't... I... I don't...
TOWER OF ILLUSION FLOOR 1
First few steps inside and there's already a plaque telling us what to do.
"When the sun and the moon shine again, the fountain will run dry, and heaven,
and earth will change places."
What the crap is that supposed to mean?! ...Let's just keep going.
Okay, path to the West is pointless, it's just a demonstration of the
type of levers we're gonna need to pull to get around this floor.
They change the direction of the...water?...treadmill? Whatever those
pushing tiles are. And whichever direction they "flow" is the way
you're gonna go, whether you like it or not.
So go East, then North a little to a statue on the West side. Search it
for an ELIXIR. By default (unless you pulled the first lever I told you
to ignore) the path to the north should be flowing North, but there is
a lever just to the East of here if you need to switch it back.
In fact, do that right now. Yeah, you heard me. Pull it. Now the water
is flowing backwards. How does this help us? You shall see soon my
young apprentice.
Go South, and then go Northeast up the long hallway, at the end of which
you shall be confronted by a Prester. He's basically a meaner version of
the Wall Beasts of old. Anyway, you can use your fairies on it, the up ones,
so do that.
You really chipped his... block. ...Writing funny's hard guys.
Go North past the water that should be flowing North. Go West and then take
the Northern path, but make sure to stop and pull the lever. If you ever
want to leave that is. Then go back East and instead go down the Southern
path for a chest with a MITHRIL INGOT. Delicious. Now go around the little
path clockwise and go back where you came from. Meet me back by that
statue we robbed earlier.
Water should be flowing North like before, so go that way. Then West a little
to another lever, but this one is different. It brings down the stairs to
the next floor, not the REAL next floor mind you, just a small little room
with an item we'll need for later. So go up it already.
TOWER OF ILLUSION FLOOR 2
Go East and North around the little bend and search the mysterious
symbol on the ground for the LUNAR SHARD. Back down we go.
TOWER OF ILLUSION FLOOR 1
Go West, then South around the bend and search the South statue for
INCUBUS CROTON. That's a stellar name you got there.
Your parents must be proud.
Continue West around the bend, making sure to flip the switch on the way.
Then go East past another water flowy... thing.
Side Note: Guilt Spirits can show up here. And they SUUUUUUCK. They can cast
instant death attacks, and they work FAR more often than they should. So
either kill 'em fast or run like hell, cuz they can pick you off if you're
having a bad day.
Okay, so go North and BAM, time for another Prester.
After the fight, go West at the branch and pull the lever. Now go back and
keep going East (ignore the chest, it's another Chesthead. Good rule of thumb,
if a chest seems too easy? It is.) and then go Northwest up a long passage
like earlier. Straight forward stuff.
So, there are two water paths, but you can only use one of them. Ignore it.
Instead go South, then West to a fork. Take the North way and search the
indent to the North for a SUCCUBUS LUNARIA.
Alright, now go Southwest then South, ignoring both the West and East water
paths, and finally taking the next one South. Then West and Southeast down
another huge corrider and we got ourselves a chest with the FORCE BLADE.
Sick. Equip it on Arthur, making him one bad mother(SHUTYOMOUTH).
Now go back to the statue that had a fairy, and this time go West at the
branch without a water path. Go North, then Northeast until you see a
switch. Pull it. No, pull it like you MEAN IT. THAT'S IT.
Stairs to the next floor proper are now to the South, cross the water
path and up you go.
TOWER OF ILLUSION FLOOR 2
Thankfully, those water paths are now gone. Unthankfully, the pain and misery
of this place has only just begun. However, this floor is pretty tame, so
it actually requires little in the way of directions. At least until the
water is gone.
Anyway, go South, then West, then South some more and a little East, South,
West, Southeast, East, to another thing of water.
Now just a little more East, then North, go West andHOLYCRAPWHATSTHAT.
I... I think need to go change my pants. Seriously, I know that was
supposed to be some kind of spirit guide, but geez, that guy creeps
me the FRICK OUT. I mean, how often does something that's NOT a monster
pop out at you? NEVER. IT DOESN'T HAPPEN EVER.
Anyway, despite your better judgement, follow where the guy came from and
pull the lever. The stairs to the next floor are now available. Go West,
then up.
TOWER OF ILLUSION FLOOR 3
Okay. I can take the water tiles. I can even take walking on the friggin
ceiling. But this? This is just stupid. This floors gimmick is basically
to confuse the crap out of you, except you can easily remedy it by
checking your map. Again. And again. And again. And again. You see where
I'm going with this? Where I'm going is that this place needs to die.
What looks like and should be straight forward paths will be interrupted
by spinning tiles that point you in a random direction, and of course,
they all look alike. So every time you spin, check your map. That's
all I'm gonna say on the matter.
Go straight West and search the statue for a POWER JUICE. Go North two
branches (you'll be by a wall), and then go straight East all the way to
a chest with a DRAGON MAIL. Sweet duds. Give them to Arthur to make him
even MORE Bad @$$. As if that was possible.
Now go West two forks, and then South all the way to another statue for
a POTION.
Go North to the first fork, then West three more forks, and then go North
until you see a statue to the West of you, search it for a PROTECT MILK.
That's all we can get on this floor for now.
So go South one fork, then West for another lever, pull it for more stairs.
How did you know? A wonderous gift this is.
Now go South, then West, then South again and up the stairs.
TOWER OF ILLUSION FLOOR 4
This floors gimmick involves me punching you and you liking it. Oh, no,
that's just the developers idea of "fun" in this dungeon. Sorry for the
mix up. So what it really is are these damn buttons again. And now you can
only open the doors here by stepping on them, but that usually requires some
scrambling around. Oh, and there's also a lot of holes here, so be careful
not to slip.
Okay, first to Southeast, then South and to the West should be a chest,
open it for an ELIXIR. Head back to where you came up the stairs, and go West
and Northeast up another long hallway (ignoring the button for now).
Grab the chest for an ANGEL'S ROBE. Melody thanks you for your patronage.
Go back to the button, and then run through the door before it closes.
You know the schtick. Then go East and North, avoiding the hole and ignoring
the button/doors they open cuz they just go where we've already been.
Then go East, ignoring the South path because it just leads to another
Prester (unless you want to fight it for some reason) and go Southeast.
You'll see another lever. Pull it for more stairs, but we can't reach them
just yet.
Go just a little more Southeast (avoiding, but keeping the hole in mind).
Search the statue for the Fairy PRIMROSE.
Now, a decision must be made. Do you continue, or do you go back a good
deal for a Light of Hope? Keep in mind the item completely restores ALL
MP for your entire party. If you want it, drop down that hole I was just
talking about. If not? Skip this next little blurb. WEEEEEEEEE!
TOWER OF ILLUSION FLOOR 3
Open the chest for a LIGHT OF HOPE. I certainly *hope* that was worth it.
ONE PUN DEMERIT RECEIVED. I apologize. Now, you have to drop down ANOTHER
hole in order to get back, so do that.
TOWER OF ILLUSION FLOOR 2
Aaaaand we're back here. Lovely. Make your way back to the stairs by following
the map, it's not rocket science. Meet me at floor 4 at the hole you
dropped into. Be quick about it.
TOWER OF ILLUSION FLOOR 4
If you ignored the hole, congratulations, you saved yourself a good 20 minutes,
if not, well, welcome back. Sucker. I forget if you have to pull the stairs
lever again or not, so try it anyway just in case.
Now go back to the North side and go down the hallway with the Prester in
it now. Yeah, you had to fight it anyway, so what?
Now you're in the center of the map, so go East, then South to another
button door combo. You know the drill. Be careful though, there's another
hole at the end just to be a jerk about it.
Now go East and Southwest down yet another long hallway to yet another
button/door deal. And yes, there is YET ANOTHER HOLE BEHIND IT. *sigh*
Turn the corner and go East to-HOLYCRAPNUGGETS. NOT HIM AGAIN.
...After that ordeal, go up the stairs.
TOWER OF ILLUSION FLOOR 5
No gimmick here. Not yet anyway. Just go Northeast, then West until you see
a statue and go South, then West and to the South is another statue.
Search it for an ENERGY BREAD. Haven't gotten one of these in a while.
Now go Northwest a tiny bit and then North and West to one of those iconic
long hallways and follow it Northeast. Open the chest for a HOLY RAIN.
Go back along the hallway Southwest and go East to a larger than normal
room (for this place anyway). What's this? A symbol on the floor that's
missing a shard? What to do...
AHHHHHHHHHH!!!! THE ROOM IS TRYING TO CRUSH ME!
Oh, it stopped. Good. Okay, so... now we can continue I guess.
Go back to the stairs you came from and this time go Northeast and
Southwest down a hallway until you pass an empty indent to the North.
Search it anyway for the LEPRECHAUN ERIC. A hardy fellow he is.
Now just go West and North, pulling the lever to the East for some
wonderful stairs. Ooooooh, that's why the ceiling lowered.
Pretty sneaky.
Anywho, go up.
TOWER OF ILLUSION FLOOR 6
Man this place is high. So, this floor is a little strange in that there is
basically nothing you can do but fall to your doom. Except get the one
and only item which is required to continue. Then let's do that.
Go Northwest and North and West to a hallway, go Northeast up it, then East,
then Southeast to a chest with the SOLAR SHARD.
Alright, that's all we can do for now. So cast Return or use an Angel Feather.
Either way. Yeah, that's right, we have to go back to the very beginning.
Was that all for naught? Mostly. But not entirely.
Go back to that strange symbol where we got the Lunar Shard before.
You know, you pull the lever and the stairs come down near the start
of the first floor. Just do it.
TOWER OF ILLUSION FLOOR 2
Now, stick the Solar Shard in the missing spot. SHINY SHINY SHINY.
The water has now been drained. Why is this significant? Remember those
little stairs on the second floor we couldn't go down because of the water?
Well, we can now. And there is the key to our destiny.
At this point you might want to go back and rest/save. In fact, you might
have to. See, if you sold your Gravity Stone way back, we need that again.
So go back to the item shop and buy it back in the specials section like
a good little boy or girl. I'll wait.
Back? Now get back to the second floor. The real way.
TOWER OF ILLUSION FLOOR 2
Make your way to the Southmost pool of water. The ones on the way have
nothing, but search them if you like.
Take the stairs down into the now empty canal and then go up the ones
to the Northeast. Open the chest for the SHINING MAIL. This is an even
MORE awesome upgrade for Arthur. So pimp him out and give the ratty dragon
one to Lisa or something. I don't even care.
Okay, exit the canal and go East this time, but go South when you
can for yet another overly long hallway. You'll have to fight the final
Prester after going North. Then go West, back down into the canal and
back up for a chest with an ELEMENTAL ORB.
Go East again, and North this time and Northwest down the hallway.
Down the stairs into the canal for the final time and prepare
for another CEILING ADVENTURE. Go South and "drop" into the hole.
TOWER OF ILLUSION FLOOR 3
TOWER OF ILLUSION FLOOR 4
TOWER OF ILLUSION FLOOR 5
TOWER OF ILLUSION FLOOR 6
Ouchies. Go into the gravity hallway to right yourself. Now go Northwest
along the final "way too long for its own good"...hallway. Be warned.
The boss coming up is-WHATAREYOUDOING?

Drops: Holy Plate
Special Attacks: Laser Slash
Magic: Attack L1, Anti Spell L1, Barrier L1
-------------
Or you could just run up ahead anyway. Fine. See if I care.
So, this guy is a beast. Probably THE hardest boss in the game
in my opinion. Not only does he have some nasty attacks, but he can
do them TWICE PER TURN. Yeah, you heard me. TWICE. Have Melody or
someone of equal healing ability do a multi heal every single turn or
you will probably die. And maybe even if you do. If you don't already
have at least Aura 2, you're probably screwed. Like injured duck
in shark infested waters screwed. ... That's pretty friggin screwed.
Oh, and if he silences your healer? Yup, you guessed it. Screwed.
If you manage to survive, continue to the North then West (avoiding
the hole because you don't have brain trauma) and-AGGGGG. DANG IT.
STOP DOING THAT.
Just... step on the symbol.
Go forward as he tells you for a CUTSCENE.
Arthur, Melody, and Rodi are now Innovators!
No they haven't invented a new kind of toilet paper, they have special
powers now. Arthur can use a super powerful attack called Inferno
that eats his MP like a starving hobo eats a burrito. It also destroys
a special wall at the Desire Mine, so we can continue further into there.
Melodys power is called Restore, and is basically a regen for a single
party members HP. Nifty.
And finally Rodie gets Negate, which lets him cancel the magical
effects of enemies, just like every major boss does to you. Jerks.
EAT THIS. HOW YOU LIKE ME NOW.
...Anyway, we're done here. Leave the tower and make your way back
to town to find the portal has returned. Step through it.
Once again, not making a new section. Too lazy.
Talk to the King for a bonus CUTSCENE if you want. But it's
not required.
My advice is to go to Desire Village, do the usual, make some Mithril crap,
especially with all those ingots we just picked up (consult my Mithril
segment for what's good), and then meet me at the mine.
Don't keep me waiting.

DESIRE MINE FLOOR 1
This place brings back memories. I liked the old music, but this new one
is good too. Always gotta have new final dungeon music. It's like, the
law or something.
Anyway, go inside the mine (the left one) and go North as far as you can go.
Up, up, up, up, up, ignoring all the signs that say otherwise until you
reach a square room with a danger sign to the North. Ignore it as well and
go North then West to a strange looking barrier.
EAT INFERNO SUCKAAAAAA! AAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
So West a few steps until there's a pot to your South. Search it for a
POTION. A little underwhelming. No worries, go two steps farther and
search the NEXT pot to your South for a MITHRIL INGOT. Some level
designer got lazy. I aint complaining.
If you want you can turn around and search the North pot to fight an
Ifrit. They're like really angry genies that want to eat your face.
Whatever floats your boat, pal.
Now just go West, all the way. NO STOPPING OR YOU DIE.
Just kidding. NO I'M NOT. STOP AND YOUR FAMILY WILL EXPLODE.
Seriously, it is just too easy.
Go South when you can and keep doing so until you can go East. Go into
the light. Go north in this room, then East, South, and go East when you
can to enter another light room. Grab the chest for a ROYAL CIRCLET.
That shiz heals MP's every turn yo. Stick it on Melody. You know you want to.
Side Note: Leave the room to the West and you are now in what I like to call
Dragill country. The little spot in the middle of this horizontal path
will spawn Dragill's like Christmas if you go North to South down it.
Why would you want to? Because they drop Red Daggers, that's why.
Like, the Arthur exclusive item that raises his critical and that you haven't
had an upgrade for since like the South Shrine? Yeah, I thought so.
Grab one if you have any sense about you.
Now go back to the circle room and go South this time. Follow the very
straightforward path and get in the minecart. Oh right, have to fight
a Cart Ghost. Forgot about that. They can insta-kill like Guilt Spirits.
Have fun.
That mine cart laughs in the face of physics.
Go West and up the stairs.
DESIRE MINE FLOOR 2
Go South, then East, then North when you can for a chest with a DEMON CLAW.
Don't equip it. I mean, come on, it has DEMON IN ITS NAME. Equipping it
is not gonna be lollypops and rainbows. Instead Doyle'll have a DEMON CLAW
GRAFTED TO HIS ARM. MADE BY FRIGGIN DEMONS. I KNOW THAT SOUNDS COOL BUT
IN THIS GAME IT'S NOT.
Just keep going South, only stopping when you pass an obvious dead end to
the West and further South find yourself in another great spawning spot
for...
Side Note: Spike Dragons. It works the same way as the previous spawn
area except with these instead. Just keep going North and South and you
will encounter one sooner or later. If it helps, the spot kind of looks
like an H on its side. The slash in the middle being the spot you want to
go up and down past. Oh, they drop the Kusanagi. The best weapon in the
ENTIRE GAME. Yeah, only Rodi and Akane can equip it, but it is worth it.
Have at least one of these at your disposal, and your grinding days are
over. Well, maybe not quite, but they'll be made a lot easier. See, that
sword has a special ability unique to it alone. It can instant kill.
And you'll know when it's doing it because it's a unique critical
move. AND IT ALWAYS WORKS. IF IT ACTIVATES ON A MONSTER THAT MONSTER
WILL DIE. And it activates more often than you think it would. So yeah.
Get you one.
Anywho, keep going South and take the next fork West and search the dead
end for the SUCCUBUS NATASHA. FOR THE MOTHER LAND.
Go back and just keep going South and follow the obvious path until you
reach another mine cart.
Fight the Cart Ghost if you want, but we can't use the mine cart yet
anyway. Procrastination is awesome.
Instead go Northeast down some stairs and East when you can and follow
another obvious path until you pass a circle room. At that point go West,
hit the wall, and take one step South. Now search the wall for the
INCUBIS BORIS. What is this, a Russian convention? *rimshot*
Also that was a dumb spot to put a faerie blah blah blah. I'm tired.
Now take the South path when you can and continue to follow the painfully
obvious path until you pass some boulders and see a pot in an indent
to the East. Search it for an ELIXIR.
Now just go North and up some stairs to find a lever. Yes you pull it why
would you come all this way and... *sigh*.
RPG rule number 1: If there is a lever, you pull it.
THERE IS NO RULE NUMBER 2.
Alright, now go allll the way back to the mine cart. Backtracking,
padding out RPG's since some guy decided he was too tired to
make another dungeon.
Now get in the cart you pansy.
If you did everything right (aka, pulled the lever) you should be somewhere
other than where you just were. The usual purpose of travel. If you did
not and somehow FORGOT to pull the lever, then you will just go in a
circle and now you get to cry.
Otherwise, go East and search the first pot you see for another ELIXIR.
Then go South and East when you can and get in.. .another mine cart.
Yes there's a ghost, THERE IS ALWAYS A GHOST. WHY WON'T YOU LEARN THINGS?
Get in the cart. Get out of the cart. Go North and search the second
seemingly useless indent for the FAIRY CLYDE. That's not a girls name.
WHY IS THAT A GIRLS NAME? WHY AM I YELLING AT A FICTIONAL CHARACTER?
Just... go South. No funny business, fight stuff, don't die, the usual.
Oh, and the Southern indent on the way has a MITHRIL INGOT.
Because I say so that's why.
Go up the stairs.
DESIRE MINE FLOOR 3
Go North. Go East. Go North again and search a pot for the PIXIE BALDRIC.
Not a girls... don't care. Because I'm done. If you (or indeed, I) have
been following this FAQ then you should have ALL THE FAERIES IN THE GAME.
EVERY SINGLE ONE. Does this mean anything though? Have I just lost it?
Yes. But that's beside the point. We can now obtain The Fairy Bell.
It's a magical little item that makes all your dreams come true and
brings everyone who you ever lost back to you and this is a really long
sentence so I'll stop now. Okay, you use it and it does a ton of damage.
But every time you do it, there's a chance it can crack. And if you use it
after it cracks, it goes away forever. So don't do that. Instead repair
it at a shop with money. You know, that shiny stuff you find after every
fight but have almost no use for anymore because Desire Village
refuses to update its inventory for end game content.
I'll tell you where to get it later though, first let's just clean up the
rest of the items so I can go to slee-I mean, because it's convenient.
Yes. That.
>_>
<_<
Where was I? Oh, right. Go South and then East when you can.
Path North leads to a mine cart and another bloody ghost, but we need
to pull another lever so just ignore it.
Instead go East and North and more North and then West and more
West and more North and then come to a room with some holes.
Avoid them because they will make you sad.
When you've reached the Northwest end of the map, go West and North
a little more for a chest with a MITHRIL INGOT. Because you can
never ever have enough of those. No, I am not being sarcastic.
Now go East, ignoring the South path for now and instead continuing
East until you find another mine cart. Get in the cart.
What ghost? What are you talking about? GET IN THE CART.
It leads you to a mostly empty room, search the pot for a DEMON STAFF.
Do we need to go through this again? DEMON. NO. BAD.
Go back and take that South path from earlier.
Take the West path when you can and open the chest inside the room for
the SHINING SWORD. Now, the word Shining in this game is good.
Very, very good. Equip it on Arthur and watch him ATTAIN GODHOOD.
Give the other one to what's her face.
Go back and take the East path which goes South a long time. When you finally
reach the Southeast of the map you'll see a chest on your way West, open it
for some GODDESS TEARS.
Continue more West and when you can take a small path West and South for
a chest with an ELIXIR. Now go North and then West until you finally
find the lever. Please pull it.
Wait, can you DROP off here? That's... INGENIOUS. Give that designer a
medal. Oops, I'm all out. I ATE THEM ALL. AHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
Now go back to the first mine cart of this area.
RIDE THE MINE CART. RIDE IT TO FREEDOM. AND TO GLORY!

Sentinel (Drops: Demon Axe)
Technically this is still part of Desire Mines, but I made it a separate
section because it gives me an even 20 areas and I HAVE O.C.D. OKAY SO JUST
LEAVE ME ALONE GEEZ.
Also, if you have been using or have used maps in the past and wondered
why I made a FAQ for a game you can mostly navigate with them, this area
is one reason why.
The map COMPLETELY leaves out two entire rooms here. Rooms that I found
and wrote in with little yellow markers in MS Paint because I can't afford a
better program. One room of which has A MITHRIL INGOT SO TAKE THAT MAPS.
SUCK IT. SUCK IT AND DIE.
There are no random enemies here, so rest easy in your looting.
If you get beaten to a pulp, at least you'll be WARNED first.
So yeah, go North up the stairs until you reach the middle of the large room.
Go West until you smack into another statue. You know where this is going
don't you? He's in the way, he looks angry, and he forgot to put in his
eye drops this morning. He's... a SENTINEL. Give him the smack down and
use everything you got, since I assume you'll be leaving to rest/save
after getting all the items anyway. In fact, I demand it. For we have still
not claimed our prize...
Anywho, go South and search the North pillar for an ELIXIR.
Back at the middle room, go East this time. Another Sentinel.
Another beatdown.
Go East and open the chest for the FORCE SHIELD. Get it? Shining Sword,
Force Shield... Oh boy. Anyway, equip it on Arthur and now he is awesome
and stuff.
Go back to the middle room and go North now to another room with some
fancy carpet. Go West for another Sentinel and open the chest for an
EVIL ORB. NO. DON'T EVEN MAKE ME SAY IT. I WILL SLAY YOU.
Go back again and go East this time for MORE SENTINEL. Search the pot
for some GODDESS TEARS.
Now this is where I stray from conventional methods. See, there's a magical
thing called LOOKING, and doing that shows you that to the right and
left side of the huge staircase are EVEN MORE ROOMS. INSANE RIGHT?
Both have sentinels of course, but only one actually has an item.
The East one. And it has a MITHRIL INGOT. BOOYAH.
And that my friends, is it. You have obtained every single item in the
game. That can be found by looking anyway. With that, I suggest you leave
via the usual methods. But before you go to rest/save, follow me to the
Forest of Confusion...
You know that little obelisk at the lake from a LONG time ago?
Well, now you can search it. Out pops the Queen of all faeries or
some junk. Anyway, she gives you the coveted FAIRY BELL.
Treat it with care. With that in tow, do the usual and meet me back at
Godspeak. With the levers pulled it shouldn't be too bad.
And we're back! So, as you might imagine, following that carpet up that
massive staircase leads to the games final bosses. After you.
I insist.

Well she's a sight for sore eyes. BECAUSE SHE MAKES MY EYES SORE.
HAHAHAHAHA!!! Shut up. Anyway, Elise will summon two cronies for her,
so despite their stat exclusion she is not alone. But they're just beefed up
enemies from the dungeon (actually they might have the same stats, hell
if I know). So they shouldn't be a problem. She however, is a problem.
She's does bad things that hurt and crush and stab and... you get it.
All her attacks from before are present, but she has annoying new skills
like Crystal Ball Explosion that wipes out your enchantments.
Also, she goes twice per turn, though that's just standard issue boss
stuff now. But whatever, she's not the final boss so just deal with it.
Moving on.
CUTSCENE.

And here we are. The creme de la creme. The big burrito. The muchos grandos.
The... big... bad... man. And I am officially out of corny phrases.
Just plum out. Anyway, hit him 'till he dies. THE END.
What, that's not good enough for you? Picky, picky.
Actually, to be honest, that IS the strategy. See, if you can
manage to kill him with nothing but single target attacks, both
him AND his minions will die together. It's an old trick. So I'm
not even kidding. HIT HIM UNTIL HE DIES. None of that magic funny business.
Or at least none of the ones that attack everything.
Buffing is okay, but he'll probably dispell it. He's a jerk like that.
And with that, he is defeated. You win the game! I am so happy for you.
I know it took me forever to finish it, but I finally did it. Thanks to all
the people who kept believing in me even when it looked like I might
never do it. And those of you who DIDN'T believe? Um... you were wrong?
OH YEAH. TASTES BITTER DOESN'T IT? LIKE CAR BATTERIES AND LIME BUILD UP.
But anyway, thanks a lot and I hope I can write more FAQ's in the future.
Hehe. Hahahaha. AAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!
RIGHT, LIKE THAT'S GONNA HAPPEN.

be this high level to beat the final boss. I am simply a leveling madman.

(FNCO)
First and foremost, this FAQ is MINE. Anyone besides Gamefaqs and its
affiliates who use my FAQ without obtaining my permission for
any reason will be punished. The possible ramifications are world
shattering and epic in scale. So please do us all a favor and keep such
cataclysmic events from transpiring. Thanks a bunch.
So, what is the significance of the Suspicious Looking Wall? THERE IS NONE.
It was either meant to be something at some point and then abandoned, or
put there to mess with gamer's heads, developer's do it all the time.
I would personally love to do it in my own games. But if it
still bothers you, you can keep thinking there's some secret we haven't
yet discovered after all these years. I don't deny that if that were the
case it would be awesome. But alas.
Also to all those who may be wondering, Gozer is a myth. Someone made him
up one day and decided to post up a "strategy" to get him on every
game site he could get his hands on, and it spread from there. Let me repeat
myself. Gozer does not exist. Pressing the correct buttons when you've just
killed the Wraith will NOT spawn him. Nothing will. I was quite
disappointed myself upon learning this, in more ways than one. So let's
just let it go shall we?
If anyone likes my FAQ, you may like my writing as well. I have several
stories up on fictionpress, here's a link to my account.
http://www.fictionpress.com/~xhoyl
My latest story up is Bitter Toast, but feel free to read any of them
if you wish, I am more than happy to accept anonymous reviews. Keep in mind,
some of them are fairly old, like Pravos, and are not indicative of my
current writing abilities. But I leave them on anyway, just in case I
ever decide to do another draft.
I also have a blog now, which can be found here.
http://deathbypencil.wordpress.com/
It has most of those stories I have up on Fictionpress, but I also
do a daily writing thing where I basically talk about whatever I feel like.
You know, like a blog. So follow if you want. I won't mind.
One final link, I promise. If you are interested in a video "walkthrough",
perhaps as a supplement to this, I have a series of videos for STHA
on my youtube account. While they are mostly entertainment related, they
do show the locations of most items. So watch/comment/subscribe if like.
http://www.youtube.com/user/xhoyl?feature=watch
Oh, and if you REALLY want to send me some money because you love my FAQ...
My email is briansdunn1989@gmail.com, you can just sent it via paypal as a
"gift". Just thought I'd throw that out there, being an extremely broke
college student barely living off loans and handouts, any amount no matter
how small is much appreciated. Seriously.

(CRDT)
Thanks to http://www.network-science.de/ascii/ for the ASCII art I used as
the title.
Thanks to my former neighbor Mr. Lowe for letting me play his Sega Saturn
and thus igniting a lifelong passion for RPG's and video games in general.
Which has fueled me to this day to become a writer, so I can someday break
into the games industry and become a game designer and/or writer.
Thanks to Alorica (as much as I hate to say it) for allowing me to work for
you and eventually purchase my own Saturn and copy of Shining the Holy Ark
so I could finally complete this awesome game.
Thanks to Sonic Software Planning of course for making the game
(Camelot Software Planning as they are called now) kinda hard to do much
if the game wasn't made.
Thanks to http://rpg-home.lunar-net.com/stha-web/index.html and
http://www.angelfire.com/games2/shiningforceIII/shiningtheholyark/
shiningtheholyarkmain.html for little bits of info I was missing or
too lazy to get myself.
Thanks to Sovvyy on Shining Force Central forums for the item code list.
Thanks to stha guy for helping a whole bunch.
Thanks to SonataPSU (or RikaPSO on SFC) for providing new gameshark codes
and stats I was missing, as well as being just plain awesome. Oh, and for
that hard mode version of the game. It's only for STHA vets or the most
foolhardy of gamers, mind you. But here's a link if you want to give
it a go anyway. Be warned, I was not kidding, it is very, very hard.
http://forums.shiningforcecentral.com/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=16679
Thanks to BoneIdol for Luck and Drop Rates of enemies.
Thanks to codetwink.com for hosting the gameshark cheats.
Thanks to AbhorrentDeity who providing some additional items in the
jail cells that I never knew about.
Thanks to anyone I might have missed. If that's you, I'm sorry. Let me know
and I will add you, I swear.
Thanks to CJayC for Gamefaqs, or no one would see this.
