I spent way too much time working on this guide for Aspharr due to trouble getting the Bryunak and Nereids spears. Ninety-nine nights is made solely for Xbox 360 and is trademarked by its creators.

Profiles, Weapons, and Item information are taken from what is provided in game. ----------------------------- My thoughts on Aspharr ----------------------------- I think Aspharr is a pretty solid character, although he looks a bit like a cry baby. His missions are pretty much the same as Inphyy's, although he gets a branch in his path, with 2 endings. He has 6 stages to play through. He has some nice combos that really help with irritating bosses. I recommend the X,Y (repeatedly) combo for pretty much all the bosses. I think his orb attacks are pretty powerful and his Spark has a nice damage area to it, although it throws a lot of enemies all over the place. ----------------------------- Profile ----------------------------- Aspharr Age- 19 years old Class- Knight Weapon- Lance Orb Spark- Light He loves his sister Inphyy but has mixed feeling; he knows they aren't related by blood. He also has misgivings about the cause of *justice for humans only* that is driving the war. Profile from the Character select screen Aspharr, Knight/19 A compassionate man who does not favor conflict. Although he fights well, he continues to wonder what the true nature of justice is. He worries mostly for his younger sister Inphyy. His weapon is a lance. ----------------------------- Weapons ----------------------------- Temple spear Level 1. Spear carried only by Temple knights. *Aspharr's default weapon. Earth Pike Level 2. A deadly lance that shatters both enemies and earth. *Attack range +10% *Critical rate +10% Location- Mission 2 Eaurvarria Mountains When you reach the first wide open area go into the dead end in the north. It is in a chest all the way at the end. Knight Lance Level 2. A classic Temple Knight weapon. *Attack power +20% *Defense power +20% *Movement speed +10% Location- Mission 2 Eaurvarria Mountains Usually drops in the same area as the Rally point once all the Goblins in the area are killed. Blue Lancer Level 3. Lightning lance that emits blue flashes. *Attack power +10% *Attack range +40% *Critical rate +30% *Movement speed +15% Location- Fort Wyandeek As soon as the mission starts, turn completely around and there will be the chest behind you. Crystal spear Level 5. A divine lance bearing the power of crystal. *Attack power +30% *Attack range +50% *Orb attack duration +20% Location- Fort Wyandeek In the far North-west of the map, where the goblin civilians are. Bryunak Level 5. A supernatural weapon known as the lance of light. *Attack power +70%, attack range +50% *Movement speed +30% *Red orb +30% with Orb spark. Location- Castle of Varrvazarr- Mission rank A (I've seen it in another guide that you obtain it on Rank S but while I was trying for rank S I got A several times and received the Bryunak 4 times in a row.) Nereids Spear Level 7. An ancient spear that can split the sea. *Attack range +40% *Critical rate +50% *Orb gauge charge rate +30% Location- Ywa-Ue-Uar Forests This one is really a pain in the neck. You have to obtain an S rank on this mission to get it. I beat it 10 times with an S rank with no luck. Edscott0013 gave me the idea of allowing myself to die repeatedly on the stage then choosing reply, until the mission level dropped back down. Once I did that I beat it again on level 3 with an S rank and obtained the Spear. ----------------------------- Items ----------------------------- Unfinished. More to come. Common dropped equip items. These are the Items that are dropped randomly by various enemies. I believe there are more that get dropped on stages with a high level. Also equipping lots of items that increase drop rate, like clovers, tend to yield items of higher quality. Ward cloak 1 Enchanted with earth magic. *Damage from catapult decreased *Physical damage -20% player, -30% guard Ward cloak 2 Enchanted with earth magic. *Damage from catapult decreased *Physical damage -25% player, -50% guard Clover 1 A rare four-leafed clover that brings good luck. *Item drop rate +20% Clover 2 A rare four-leafed clover that brings good luck. *Item drop rate +50% Clover 3 A rare four-leafed clover that brings good luck. *Item drop rate +100% Orb charm 1 A jewel that heightens latent abilities. *Orb gauge charge speed +10% Orb charm 2 A jewel that heightens latent abilities. *Orb gauge charge speed +20% Life globe 1 A jewel overflowing with the power of life *Max HP +40 Life globe 2 A jewel overflowing with the power of life *Max HP +100 Life globe 3 A jewel overflowing with the power of life *Max HP +200 Wind cloak 1 Enchanted with wind magic. *Enemy ranged attack accuracy -20% Wind cloak 2 Enchanted with wind magic. *Enemy ranged attack accuracy -40% Dire helm Cold iron mask that inhibits speech and sight. *0% critical rate Dire ring Cursed ring that invites bad fortune. *Can't jump ----------------------------- Combo attacks ----------------------------- Level 1 Upper swing- XXYY Gaia impact- In mid jump, Y Shining flare- During orb attack, Y Swing rush- XXXX Slide slash- YYX Sonic impact- RT then X Charge- RT Tornado slash- YYYXX Divine knight- During Orb attack, X Destroyer chain- YYYY Lancer storm- XXXY (hit Y repeatedly) Level 2 Dead-end strike- YX Dead-end break- When s tabbing an enemy with YX, then press X Spiral dive- In mid jump, X Flash lance- XY (Hit Y repeatedly) Level 3 Dead-end turn- YX, then A Tornado impact- YYYXXX Level 4 Double-slide slash- YYXX Upper slash- XXYYY Shining spear- YYYXXY *Drains Orb attack gauge Spiral charge- in mid jump, XX Sonic strike- RT then Y Divine burst- XXX+Y repeatedly, then X *Drains Orb attack gauge Level 5 Upper flash lance- XXYYX Dead-end cyclone- When stabbing an enemy with YX, then press Y Level 6 Upper twist slash- XXYYYY Dead-end swing- YX, then during RT, X Dead- end charge- YX, then RT Dead- end burst- YX, then during X, A *Drains Orb attack gauge Level 7 Triple slide slash- YYXXX Double spiral charge- In mid jump, press XXY Dead-end impact- YX, then during RT, A Level 8 Holy spear- YYXXY *Drains Orb attack gauge Level 9 Shining blast- XXXYX *Drains Orb attack gauge ----------------------------- Missions ----------------------------- ----------------------------- Mission 1- Divine Varrfarrinn (Level 5) ----------------------------- *First objective- Defeat the enemies atop the hill! You start on the hill on the northern ide with an enemy force right in front of you. The group of enemies is led by Heppe. Heppe dropped Dire ring, Cursed choker, Exp bonus *Second objective- Reinforce the troops in battle! Head down the hill and start taking out some enemy troops. After awhile a cut scene occurs showing Inphyy making her appearance. *Third objective- Defeat the enemy general! When you defeat Inphyy it goes right into a cut scene and the mission is finished. Chests- 1- Right in front of the enemy archers on the West end of the field. Contains Orb potion. 2_ In front of the enemy archers on the East side of the field. Contain Health potion. Mission results Mission Rank A- Aegis charm 2 Mission Rank S- Rage charm ----------------------------- Mission 2- Eaurvarria Mountains (Level 5) ----------------------------- You start out on the southern side of the map with a massive horde of goblins charging at your army. Once you silence enough of them they begin to run away and Inphyy chases after them. A Landslide occurs and you are left on the Eastern side, suddenly separated from her and her forces. (When you play as Inphyy the same event happens and your left on the Western edge. Now you get to see what that area finally looks like.) *First objective- Join Inphyy at the rally point! You now have your first objective. At this point you should notice a small army of goblins coming up from the East. Take them out and start working your way to the rally point. Not far along you will enter an open area and a cut scene will occur. At this point you are going to face more goblins and some goblin archers too. Once they are defeated you have 3 paths to choose from. Also of note is a chest by the rock wall in the North-West part of this area. It should contain a Knight's emblem. *Second objective- Find and destroy the goblin wizard The dead end path to the North is filled with mist that cuts off visibility a little bit but nothing serious. You will have to face some gobs and when you get to the end you encounter some Orcs and a Goblin shaman or two. The shamans have a nasty lightning magic attack that can hurt badly at lower levels but can be more of a nuisance at higher ones. Once you take them all out you should come across a chest at the end that contains a weapon, the Earth Pike. Also there is another chest in this area that contained a Knight's emblem. Take a good look at the map and see where the path slightly veers off towards the west. I found the chest there. Also, once you head back there will be even more goblins waiting for you. The dead end path to the South-east is a short route but you will come across a few small goblin forces. Towards the end you may come across about a half dozen shamans, as well as another small force ambushing you from behind. Once that is taken care of there is a chest here that should contain a Knight's flag. The immediate path to the West is the clear way to progress in the stage. You will encounter a few small goblins forces. Once you come to a small area where there are boulders and towers keep heading north to the far wall to find a chest that should contain a Knight's helmet. When you reach the rally point you meet up with Inphyy again and have to take on even more goblins. *Third objective- Destroy the enemy! A very good place for an Orb spark, or even an Orb attack, since Aspharr has a fairly good X attack. This is also a good spot to obtain items quickly, although you can't expect them to drop all the time. One your finished with the goblins here Inphyy runs off to the north on her own. A weapon, Knight Lance, appeared here too for some reason. I think that it is set to appear once all goblins are defeated, since it has dropped here in the exact same location about 2 or 3 times for me before -Notes: There is a goblin who is all in armor. He is usually one of the last to be defeated. It seems that the scene with Inphyy runs off to the north is tied to his defeat, also I think that maybe the appearance of the Knight Lance depends on if you kill him personally or let someone else kill him. Once your ready head North after Inphyy. Once you reach her you will have to fight more goblins. If you keep going straight north there is chest between two towers. It should contain the Statue Body. At some point a short cut scene will play and you will now have to fight the troll. *Objective- Defeat the Trolls before the messengers arrive! Now you have a time limit in which to beat the troll. You should receive a statue arm and bonus exp for beating him you will be given a choice of which stage you want to go to next, Fort Wyandeek or Castle of Varrvazarr, and that is the end of the mission. You should think about your choice because it actually alters the course of events for Aspharr and you see different events in the last mission and endings too. Mission results Mission Rank A- Giant's bracelet 2 Mission Rank S- Divine tiara Items dropped by common enemies Wind cloak 2 Clover 2 Life globe 3 Orb charm 2 ----------------------------- Mission 3(A)- Castle of Varrvazarr (Level 3) ----------------------------- Welcome to Varrvazarr, The land of ice. Your immediately thrust into the middle of a large battle. You receive messages of Vyertenn being attacked by the Gewgs. Before you even really begin doing anything there is an area due East of where you start. It is heavily misted over and you can barely see anything at all. If you manage to find your way through this area you can find a chest with a new weapon, Water spike, for Aspharr. It took me awhile to get through but I came out into a small clearing and you could actually see without any mist or snow coming down. There is also another chest in a small alcove to the direct south that contains an Orb potion. If you go all the way West, you will come across 3 chests that should contain an Orb potions. Also if you decide to go up the path to the North, You will find some more enemies and a chest right down the path that should contain A health potion. If you take the path all the way to the end there will be 3 chests that should contain Item drop rate, Guard attack up, and Orb value doubled items. *First objective- Aid Vyertenn! Destroy the Gewgs! Once that is done look around you. There is a chest near a huge rock to the south-east that should contain an orb potion. Then you get a message that Ppak the third has arrived. *Second objective- Aid Vyarrhartenn! Defeat Ppak the Third! You know what to do. Play seek and destroy with the frogs. Once you take out Ppak he withdraws and some items should appear. Demon gloves and Exp bonus. Then the Arrphan and their dragons appear. *Third objective- Aid Vyden! Destroy the Arrphan! Time to go kill some more enemies, only this time you have to worry about dragons constantly breathing fire at you. Talk about pressure. There should also be a chest to the West in the ruins that should contain a health potion. Once the Arrphan are defeated The Orc chieftan Leuu should appear. *Fourth objective- Join Lord Vydenn! Defeat the Orc chieftain, Leuu! Joine force with Vydenn now and take on this new threat. There should be a chest nearby, in the ruins to the West. It should contain an Angel wing. Also there is another chest in the tress just a little ways to the South-west that should contain the movement speed increase item. Once you beat him he withdraws and Exp bonus and war gloves 1 appear nearby. Also there is a chest beside the entrance to the castle and it should contain a health potion. Dwingvatt should appear now. *Fifth objective- Defeat Dwingvatt! Once he withdraws the mission is over. Mission results Mission Rank A- Bryunak Mission Rank S- (Don't know yet) Items dropped by regular enemies Wisdom charm 1 Wisdom charm 2 Life globe 2 Valor flag 2 War gloves 1 War gloves 2 Ward cloak 2 ----------------------------- Mission 3(B)- Fort Wyandeek (Level 4) ----------------------------- When you start the mission you are on the Southern part of the map, with few small forces of gobs in front of you. Also if you turn around and look up the path behind you there is a chest that should contain the weapon Blue lancer. *First objective- Defeat the two Goblin captains! You have two targets now. One all the way to the west, and another one to the east. If you go East you will run into the captain very quickly. There is also a chest nearby that should have a health potion in it. When you head back to the West you will notice a large yellow hut on the left side with a chest right next to it. The chest should contain another health potion. Continue West and some boulders will come rolling at you so dodge them a best as you can. When you have nearly reach the captain more boulders will come at you. Finish up the gobs here and take out the captain. He dropped an Exp bonus and a Statue head for me, but I don't know if that is a static drop (After beating him a few times he gave me a head every time.). There are also 2 chests here. They should contain Health and Orb potions. *Second objective- The central gate opened. So head back to the big gate in front of where you started and the way is open now. Once you make it through the gate a cut scene occurs. If you truly enjoy slaughtering goblins then prepare to scream in delight, then go get em'. *Third objective- Find and defeat the Orc corporal! For your convenience he is off on the West side. The Orc corporal dropped Dire gloves for me. *Fourth objective- The central gate opened. Go through the newly opened gate and you see another cut scene. *Fifth objective- Destroy the archers! There are quite a few groups of archers that you have to take out. Go after the Eastern most ones. There is a chest in that area as well that should contain an Orb potion. If you try to cross the bridge here you see a cut scene where Pwucks cut down the bridge. Head back towards the west for the rest of the archers and you will meet up with Tyruu who is single handedly getting her butt whipped by gobs. Be a man and help her out. *Sixth objective- The central gate opened. On the way back you will probably notice a chest on the left side of a big pillar. It should contain an Orb potion. There should also be a chest on the West side of the gate. It should have an Orb potion in it. Go through the gate. (Anyone tired of gates yet?) *Seventh objective- Defeat the Orc corporal! While your going after the corporal, you will find Klarrann. There is a chest to the West that that should contain an Orb potion. *Eighth objective- The central gate opened. If you head off to the East before you go through the gate you will come to a bridge. There is a chest to the North, before you cross, that should contain Movement speed increase item. When you cross the bridge you come across Pwucks. They run through a gate but it closes behind them. I actually don't know how to get access to that side of the stage, or if it is possible. It should be though because you can see chests in places you can't reach. There is however a chest right in front of the gate that should contain a Divine armband. So go back and head through the final gate. *Ninth objective- Defeat the Goblin wizards at the altar! You have several paths open right before you, with the end of the mission at hand. North-east. If you follow this path then you will have to fight through a few goblins but you receive a few chests. Health potion, Orb potion, Movement speed increase, Exp bonus, and another Exp bonus. North-West. This path triggers a unique set of events. As your traveling up the path there will be a chest on the right side. It should contain a Health potion. When you make it to the top you trigger a cut scene. Anyone else like seeing Aspharr put the genocidal maniac in her place? At the end you find a chest that contains a new weapon, the Crystal spear. West. If you take this path there is a chest containing a health potion right on top of the cliff on the left side that you can get right away. If you follow it all the way to the end there is another chest that should contain an Exp bonus. North. This is the path you should take when your ready to finish the mission. Take your time going up the slope. You can see a bunch of boulders just waiting to be rolled on top of you. Your going to have to fight through Goblins and Orcs and a troll to get to the top and fight the 3 wizards. There is a chest in the back that should contain a Health potion. When the troll was defeated an Aegis charm 2 appeared nearby. Unfortunately the wizards themselves don't seem to drop anything. Once you defeat them you get a message about Dwykfarrio arriving in the Pholya flatlands. Mission over. Mission results Mission Rank A- Clover 2 Mission Rank S- Hourglass Items dropped by regular enemies Orb charm 1 Ward cloak 1 Life globe 2 Orb charm 2 Clover 1 Wind cloak 2 Ward cloak 2 Aegis charm 2 Getting an S rank on this stage is a pain in the neck. When I finally did it my Mission results looked like this. Time 00:33:25 Kills 2915 -Standard attack 2303 -Orb Spark 612 Orbs obtained 20581 Max combo 451 Guard survival rate (%) 92 Successful missions 4 Bonuses 1200 ----------------------------- Mission 4- Pholya Flatlands (Level 5) ----------------------------- This mission is one huge battlefield. Very straight forward. Just follow the map to every objective and kill everything in sight. *First objective- Destroy the enemy! A large amount of enemies will appear south of your location. Battles will occur all along the river bed. There is a chest pretty much Due south of your starting location that contains a Knight's emblem. If you head to the west there are two chests within visible range of each other. They both contain health potions. If you head all the way to the west there are 2 more chests within visible range of each other. One contains a health potion, the other an Orb potion. South of here, on the other side of the river is another chest that contains a Health potion. Eventually several types of reinforcements will appear for the enemies. Orc,Gewgs, and Arrphann in that order. While Myifee will appear for your side. Once the Arrphann are finished a cut scene will play and you will now have more Orc to defeat. *Second objective- Repel the Orc chieftain Leuu! Leuu should drop cursed gloves, Giant's bracelet 2, and 2x Exp bonus when he is defeated. Once all the Orcs are finished you are treated to an interesting cut scene. Then a message saying that Goblin reinforcements are coming. Another cutscene. *Third objective- Defeat Dwingvatt! Dwingvatt should drop Dark gloves, Dire helmet, and about 3 Exp bonus. After a moment Dwykfarrio will enter battle *Objective four- Repel Dwykfarrio! Once you knock his HP down enough he will run away and the mission will be over. Mission Results Mission Rank A- Dire Helm Mission Rank S- Life crystal Items dropped by regular enemies. ----------------------------- Mission 5- Ywa-Ue-Uar Forests (Level 4) ----------------------------- This is probably the mission I hate the most. You start in the Southern-most spot on the map with many many paths to take and enemies down every turn. If you look at the map carefully you will notice that it is basically divided between the North-West and South-East sections. And there is only a single path connecting the two sides. This is where you need to go. *First objective- Find Dwykfarrio! Chests will be extremely hard to map out here. A chest on the East side contains a Health potion. The best way I can describe this potion is on the inner path on the East side. To the north of the previous one is another chest that contains an Orb potion. Also if you take the Eastern path all the way North and around to the West you will find another chest along the North side that contains an Orb potion. When you have found the path you need to take between the two areas take another look at the map. Just to the North is a small dead end. There is a chest there that contains a Wrath choker. On the Western side there is a chest that contains a health potion where the two Western paths meet up on the north side. In the South-West there are two dead end paths. The Western most one leads to a chest that contains a Health potion. The Southern path has a chest that contain an Orb potion. A good piece of advice I can give you in this stage is take your time and run around killing as much as you can until you can fill up your Spark gauge, then go to the middle of the map towards the North-west section. Once you get there you will see a cut scene and you will have to fight Pwucks. *Second objective- Defeat Ppak the Third! This is a good spot to use your Orb spark, although it will still leave you to fight Ppak the third. If your lucky you can obtain Fleet boots 1, and a Deadly armband from him when you defeat him, as well as 2 exp bonus. Once he is done you will be transported to a different area. It is all the way in the North-West and is shrouded in mist but you should have no problem finding your way out. If you look around you can find a chest here that contains a Health potion. Once you get to a certain point a cut scene plays out and you are surrounded by an unidentified army. *Third objective- Defeat the unidentified army! Kill enough of them and they start to withdraw, leaving you to find your main objective again. Continue south and you will start to encounter Arrphan. *Objective four- Destroy the Arrphan troops! When you come to a split in the road you can head south or north. If you head north at the split in the road you will come to a chest that contains an Orb potion. Eventually Syumerrt of the Arff will show up. When the Arrphan commander shows up she will drop Exp bonus and Aegis charm 2 and a Cursed shield. You have a clear location now to your objective. Find your way there and you are treated to another cut scene. Depending on where you chose to go for mission 3 you will see one of two events, and a separate ending for each. There is a chest in this area. Notice how on the map it looks like there are 3 humps right next to each other. From West to East, humps 1, 2, 3. Take the path between humps 1 and 2. There is a chest there that contains A Health potion. Note- The Dead end paths in the South-West of the area and the one North of the first hump have no chests. *First objective changes- Hunt down Dwykfarrio! Right around here there should be 2 smaller paths leading North and South from the main path. There is a chest on the southern path that contains an Orb potion. Keep going East and eventually you will face off against Dwykfarrio. Once he is finished the mission is over.
