This version contains the walkthrough and the list of the differents items the
player can use.

1 Venice
2 Rome
3 Spain
4 Atlantis
5 Himalaya
6 Back to Atlantis
7 Edge of the world
8 Lower Earth
9 World Tree 


I VENICE
1.1 First steps through the city
Walk around the city to get some information about the game and the characters.
I advise you to visit the whole city in order to get EXP points: where you
start, the king's palace (next to the church) and the other parts of the city.
When you have seen the whole city and have increased the level of your
characters, go back to the church to meet Misty and fight Budo Muscle.

1.2 Budo Muscle
This boss seems to be hard but with some experience, he is rather easy to beat.
He'll fight with two techniques :
- he throws you one big fireball which explodes into smaller fireballs
- he jumps behind you 
Against his first technique, use Edison's bombs while you'll avoid his
fireballs; it's not a big problem. When Edison has no more bombs, select
Gulliver so Edison can get new bombs.
For his second technique, use Gulliver and try to hit him from time to time;
it's easier to wait him to calm down and use his first technique again. 

When you have hit him enough, he'll stop and use two other techniques:
- he uses a ray
- he goes very fast in all directions
Hit him while he's using his ray which is really easy to avoid; you may want
to allow him to hit you to lose life. ;)
But when he goes in all directions, he's pretty hard to avoid (and it can
become irritating). The best way I found is to stay at the bottom of the
screen and to go to where he just bounced against the wall. During this time,
just wait; it's not really easy to hit him with Gulliver and it's even worse
with Edison.

1.3 Departure from Venice
After beating Budo Muscle, go to see Lee Jubai and he'll give you an
introduction letter. 
Then, go to the Sea Lion and leave Venice to Rome.


II ROME
2.1 Discovery of the Majin
After the crash, you'll control only Gulliver. Exit the fortress and go to
the Coliseum in order to get more EXP points. There are plenty of monsters
and they are not really hard to beat.
When you win just 1 EXP (and no more by 10) just leave the Coliseum.
Go to the cave just right of the fortress and meet Plato. Then try to get
the Majin working.

2.2 Fight against Multis
Now exit the cave and enter the one above it. Here you will have to fight
against Multis.
Avoid his knives and hit him; you don't have so many possibilities here. ;)
He will then show you the new body Eroika built him. You have to be careful
when he moves and hit him going between his chains.

2.3 Meeting Hammer Eagle
After defeating Multis, go through the cave to meet Hammer Eagle, Lee Jubai's
student. He will give you the first disk, the Eagle Disk.
When you have the disk go back to the cave to try the Majin.

2.4 Fight against Gorgos and Eroika
I think that this is one of the least interesting fights of the game. You
can move the Majin left and right and punch with L and R buttons. You can
also use the power of the spiritus using Y when the gauge is full.

2.5 The first blue stone
Before anything go leveling up in the Coliseum; there are a lot of enemies
so it goes quickely. Then go back to the cave where Multis and Hammer Eagle
were. Destroy the rock where Hammer Eagle was standing with Edison's bombs.
Monsters in this area are created by generators. You can distroy these
generators with a bomb. Take the way out just above and take the item that
can resurrect one of the caracters. 
Then take the way on the right. Take the way out on the right (the one on
the left brings you back to the beginning of the cave). In the back of this
cave you will find the first blue stone, Light; it allows you to stop your
enemies (Misty can do something now, :-) even if it is not really useful). 
Go out and take the cave in the middle to spare some time. Then talk with
Hammer Eagle and go to the Sea Lion to reach Spain after Lawrence gives you
the second Blue Stone.


III SPAIN
3.1 Path to the castle
Once in Spain, take the path in the uper right corner and talk with Maggy
Mammoth. Afterwards, go back to the bridge where the Sea Lion is and take the
left path. There you can destroy monsters' generators with bombs. Sometime
the way is not really easy to see but it is not really difficult.

3.2 Fight against Droid
First you have to destroy the 2 statues with Edison's bombs; it takes 3
bombs for each statue. The most efficient way I have found is to hit Droid
with Gulliver's spiritus, then to use bombs and finally to use Misty's
Charge Power to fill the gauges and hit him with Gulliver and Edison.

3.3 Axe Disk
After defeating Droid and finding the third Blue Stone you will meet Gekko
(a rather strange guy). You have to go to the top of the tower in order to
get the Axe Disk. Just fall in a hole while going back down. Talk with
Maggy Mammouth, leave this tower and go inside the one on the right.

3.4 Castle
Go to the castle. After the first room, you will fing a room with a moving
walkway. You need to have patience because this room is one of the worst in
the whole game. After the first moving walkway, you will have a succession
of moving walkways which is not easy to go through. Then you will have the
choice between 4 moving walkways. Take the one the most on the right. Go
into the room in the middle and take the door at the top. The next room
is symmetric with two doors. You can meet Judo with both (I won't say
anything except the one on the left is shorter and have less monsters ;)

3.5 Against Judo
To beat Judo, you have to combine the power of the "Power" Blue Stone with
Gulliver's Axe Spititus. Each time you will cast "Power", the spiritus makes
double damage, so you can make 999 damages with this technic).
Be careful when he changes his fighting method; if you don't have much life
don't forget to use some life potions.


IV ATLANTIS
4.1 Labyrinth
Once on Atlantis, take the path above and go into the hole. In this part of
the game, monsters' generators are on the holes. Destroy the generator on
the left and go into the hole. The next hole is the one the most at the top,
just next to the place you fall. Take the one on the left and, finally, there
is only one hole to leave this labyrinth.

4.2 Walk on Atlantis :o)
You will meet Hallelujah's hologram. Monsters are quite resistants and
powerful. You can take both path (they join just above) but it's better to
destroy the 2 generators if you want less monsters.

4.3 Fight against Gekko
Avoid his weapon and use the Axe Spiritus, it would be easy to beat him.

4.4 Meeting the Moon Queen and the Legendary King
After defeating Gekko, take the path above and you will meet the Moon Queen
and the Legendary King. They will give you some useful items.

4.5 Navel of the World
Here monsters look like golems. Misty's new weapon is the most efficient
against them. Continue going up until you find the place the King told you
and put Excalibur there.


V HIMALAYA
5.1 Meeting Steel Bat
The first thing to do is to go to the village to meet Steel Bat. She has got
a disk for you.

5.2 Blow Disk
Before going to the cave above the village, destroy the machine on the right
of the cace entry. The machine is in the upper part of its cavern and can be
destroyed with a bomb. After exiting the cavern and go into the cave on the
left. Spirits here are easy to beat with Sonic Spiritus. In the first room,
take the path on the right (under the generator). Then go through the bridge
in the next room. Destroy the generators and take the path above. Continue
until you meet Chuchun. 
You will meet an ice monster. He is really easy to beat. Bombs are the most
efficient against him. Now you have the Blow Disk.

5.3 Machines
Go out of the cave and destroy machines above the one you already destroyed.
After destroying the 3 first machines, go back to the cave above the
village. The guy blocking the bridge will not be here anymore. Continue your
way until you find the forth machine.

5.4 Fight against Dark Phoebe
Spiritus has no effect against Phoebe. Use Misty's Ray Ring and try to avoid
her shots (even if it is not easy).

5.5 Fight against the snow killer
This monster is a bit harder than the first ice monster. To beat him, use
the Blow Spiritus and bombs.

5.6 Back to the Sea Lion
After defeating the monster, do not forget to destroy the machine. When it
is done, go back to the Sea Lion.


VI BACK TO ATLANTIS
6.1 Second fight against Gekko
Go to the place where you have already fought against Gekko and be ready for
a second fight. Use the Axe Spiritus again. Since you have more discs, you
can use it rather fast.

6.2 Excalibur disappears
After defeating Gekko, take the path to the place you put Excalibur. 
Then go back to the Sea Lion.


VII EDGE OF THE WORLD
7.1 Inn
Talk with Wakkana in the inn. He will give you a disc and some precious
informations. After go back to the Sea Lion.


VIII LOWER MOON
8.1 At Baron Mangetsu's
Go out to the the Sea Lion so Edison can repair it.

8.2 Moon Queen
Go to the Moon Queen's Palace so she can give you the Freeze Disk.

8.3 Lower Moon
After getting the disk, go out of the palace and take the path on the
right. Then take the one in the upper-right corner.

8.4 Boss of Magma
To beat him, use the Freeze Spiritus. His shoot are really powerful, so
avoid them ;-). Use the other characters to help Gulliver get his Spiritus
back faster. Once you beat him, go back to the Sea Lion.


IX WORLD TREE
9.1 Walk on the World Tree
Go into one of the three caves. Now go around the cave and hit Hallelujah
twice; now take the transporter in the middle of the cave and the one just
below you. You will finally find the exit of the room. Continue your way
until you exit. Go into the gate on the right (not really difficult to
find : there is only one ;). There you will meet Gekko one more time; you
won't have to fight him this time. Go through the cave. When you will find
a transporter, do NOT use it (it takes you to the first room).
A bit later you will meet Phoebe who will get her normal state back. Two
rooms to the left, there is another room with Hallelujah. You have to walk
on all the lozenges blinking green and red. When you have touched all them
they become red and the way to Hallelujah is opened. Take this path until
you exit the cave. Be careful when you will enter the next room because
demons are quite hard to avoid (especially the first one) and they hurt you
a lot (100 HP).

9.2 Against Hallelujah
It's nearly the end of the game. Your last fight (and the hardest one).
To beat Hallelujah, use both Ray Ring, which can hit her twice with one shot,
and Gulliver's Axe Spiritus.
Later, Phoebe will come to help you but you don't have to change your way of
fighting.
Then Gekko will help you.
Hallelujah will change and send you ghosts. Use Axe Spiritus to make them
disapear and Misty to get the spiritus back faster.
The Majin will explain you that the Dragoon Spiritus is in your buckle. You
just have to use it three time to finish Hallelujah.
