Thanks and Credits ************************************************************************ General Info ************************************************************************ This section explains a bit of info about the main characters and their deathblows, spells, and gears. Note on Deathblows: To learn deathblows, use different sequences of buttons similar to the deathblow in battle. Doing this will increase the percent of the deathblow that has been learned, until it becomes 100. However, using deathblows in battle will not count towards this total. To use the deathblow, you must have the minimum required AP and the required level. If you learn the deathblow before having either of the prerequisites, the deathblow will stay at 100 percent learned until the requirements are met. Some of the 7 AP deathblows are an exception, but they are handled in the game. Note on Gear Deathblows: How many Gear Deathblows you have depends on how many Deathblows the Gear's owner has. The exceptions are Siebzehn and Chu-Chu, since neither Maria nor Chu-Chu have Deathblows. Fei Fong Wong ------------------------ Fei will be in your party for a majority of the game. He isn't the best character, but he is well-rounded enough to make up for it. Deathblows t=triangle (weak attack) s=square (medium attack) x=x (strong attack) Name AP Sequence Element Level Required Raijin 4 t,x 6 Senretsu 5 t,t,x 10 Hagan 5 s,x 16 Hoten 6 t,t,t,x 22 Tenbu 6 t,s,x 30 Ryujin 6 s,t,x 38 Koho 6 x,x 46 Fukei 7 t,t,t,t,x wind Chikei 7 t,t,s,x earth Kakei 7 t,s,t,x fire Suikei 7 s,t,t,x water Kokei 7 s,s,x light 70 Yamikei 7 x,t,x dark 80 Spells (Chi) Level Name EP Affected Effect Acquired Guided Shot 2 One/Enemy Ball of Chi Atk Begins with InnerHealing 2 One/Ally Restores HP 10 Iron Valor 3 Self Atk UP 20 CounterForce 4 Self Counter when enemy attacks 35 Yang Power 5 Self Def UP, Atk DOWN 46 Yin Power 5 Self Atk UP, Def DOWN 46 Radiance 10 One/Enemy Explode with Space Chi 55 Big Bang 20 All/Enemy Attack enemy/stop effects 72 Gear: Weltall, Weltall 2, Xenogears Weltall is much like his owner, well-rounded. Keep it upgraded, and it won't let you down. Weltall 2 is much better, due to it's powerful gear options. Xenogears is the strongest of the three, but it loses Weltall 2's gear options. Gear Deathblows *These attacks require that the gear have the Deathblower item of the same level equipped.

Her spells are all elemental based, and eventually they can hit enemy groups. Deathblows Name AP Sequence Element Level Required Screamer 4 t,x 5 Cyclone Kick 5 t,t,x 10 Breakthrough 5 s,x 16 Double Shock 6 t,t,t,x 22 Sky Attack 6 t,s,x 30 Bright Spark 6 s,t,x 38 Sting Kick 6 x,x 46 Anemo Zap 7 t,t,t,t,x wind Terra Charge 7 t,t,s,x earth Thermo Thump 7 t,s,t,x fire Aqua Frost 7 s,t,t,x water Spells (Ether) Level Name EP Affected Effect Acquired Anemo Bolt 2 One/Enemy Lightning Wind Atk (100%) Begins with Terra Lance 2 One/Enemy Earth Wave Earth Atk (100%) Begins with Thermo Cube 2 One/Enemy Fire Shroud Fire Atk (100%) Begins with Aqua Ice 2 One/Enemy Flash Freeze Water Atk (100%) Begins with Anemo Burn 6 Area/Enemy High Voltage Wind Atk (67%) 20 Terra Storm 6 Area/Enemy Landslide Earth Atk (67%) 20 Thermo Dragon 6 Area/Enemy Incinerate Fire Atk (67%) 20 Aqua Mist 6 Area/Enemy Vast Freeze Water Atk (67%) 20 Anemo Wave 10 All/Enemy Plasmaflash Wind Atk (100%) 55 Terra Ghost 10 All/Enemy Bury Alive Earth Atk (100%) 55 Thermo Largo 10 All/Enemy Detonate Fire Atk (100%) 55 Aqua Lord 10 All/Enemy Avalanche Water Atk (100%) 55 Gear: Vierge Vierge is a much better fighter than her owner. Also, it's gear option, Aerods, gives it an advantage in battle.

His attack, HP, and speed are very high, and his healing ability is very useful. Deathblows (Martial Arts) Name AP Sequence Element Level Required Ukigumo 4 t,x Begins with Mufu 5 t,t,x 10 Jinrai 5 s,x 16 Shinrai 6 t,t,t,x 22 Renken 6 t,s,x 30 Hakai 6 s,t,x 38 Ougi 6 x,x 46 Willow Wind 7 t,t,t,t,x wind Rare Earth 7 t,t,s,x earth Hell Fire 7 t,s,t,x fire Tsunami Ice 7 s,t,t,x water Deathblows (sword) Name AP Sequence Element Level Required Amaoto 4 t,x Begins with Engetsu 5 t,t,x 10 Amagumo 5 s,x 16 Himatsu 6 t,t,t,x 22 Yako 6 t,s,x 30 Zanretsu 6 s,t,x 38 Myogetsu 6 x,x 46 Festive Wind 7 t,t,t,t,x wind Rumble Earth 7 t,t,s,x earth Haze of Fire 7 t,s,t,x fire CrystalWater 7 s,t,t,x water Spells (Arcane) Level Name EP Affected Effect Acquired Sazanami 2 One/Ally Restores HP Begins with Renki 2 Self Next Eth affects all 10 Fuuseii 4 One/Ally Blocks Earth Atk 25 Chiseii 4 One/Ally Blocks Wind Atk 25 Kaseii 4 One/Ally Blocks Water Atk 25 Suikeii 4 One/Ally Blocks Fire Atk 25 Ryokusho 3 One/Ally Remove PHY status 40 Reisho 3 One/Ally Remove MNT status 42 Koga 2 One/Ally Def UP, Atk DOWN 52 Yamiga 2 One/Ally Atk UP, Def DOWN 54 Senkei 6 One/Ally Speed up next turn 60 Gear: Heimdal, Fenrir Next to Weltall 2 and Xenogears, Heimdal and Fenrir are the best gears in the game. Later, Fenrir can equip a sword, which makes it even more powerful. Gear Deathblows Name Fuel Sequence Attack Level Kentsui 10+40 t,t 1 Reppu 10+50 t,s 1 Ryukage* 10+10 t,x 1 Shinrai 20+70 s,t 2 Fujin 20+80 s,s 2 Ryuga* 20+20 s,x 2 Hakai 30+100 x,t 3 Kenjin 30+110 x,s 3 Tensho* 30+30 x,x 3 Ochiba 10 t Infinite Zanretsu 20 s Infinite Enken 30 x Infinite Gear Option n/a Bartholomew "Bart" Fatima ------------------------- Bart is pretty average. One drawback is that his medium and strong attacks often miss.

One advantage is that it uses whips, which increases its attack. Andvari is a bit better. Gear Deathblows Name Fuel Sequence Attack Level Chain Whip 10+40 t,t 1 Beat Serpent 10+50 t,s 1 Spark Wave* 10+10 t,x 1 Blood Whip 20+70 s,t 2 Hit Storm 20+80 s,s 2 Dead Cannon* 20+20 s,x 2 Dance Wave 30+100 x,t 3 Twin Snake 30+110 x,s 3 Sky Drive* 30+30 x,x 3 Meteor Fall 10 t Infinite Dead Dance 20 s Infinite Soul End 30 x Infinite Gear Option Name Fuel Affected Effect Ygg D.Charge 600 Area/Enemy Ygg fire support, Eth Atk/none Billy Lee Black ------------------------ Billy's real usefulness comes from his healing abilities.

However, since spells cannot heal gears (except for Chu-Chu), Billy's healing spells lose their effectiveness. Gear Deathblows Name Fuel Sequence Attack Level Double Snap 10+40 t,t 1 Hard Snap 10+50 t,s 1 Hard Gun* 10+10 t,x 1 Gun Blaze 20+70 s,t 2 Impact Gun 20+80 s,s 2 Holy Fist* 20+20 s,x 2 Blaze Shot 30+100 x,t 3 Hard Gatling 30+110 x,s 3 Sky Gatling* 30+30 x,x 3 Thousand 10 t Infinite Holy Climb 20 s Infinite Holy Soul 30 x Infinite Gear Option Name Fuel Affected Effect Jessie Cannon 500 Area/Enemy MX launcher, Eth Atk/none Jessie Blasta 1000 Area/Enemy DMX launcher, Eth Atk/none Ricardo "Rico" Banderas ----------------------- Rico is the strongest character, but he has some serious handicaps. His speed is horrible. Also, he often misses his medium and strong attacks. Deathblows Name AP Sequence Element Level Required Rico Rocket 4 t,x Begins with Death Drive 5 t,t,x Begins with Banderas 5 s,x n/a Dragon Fist 6 t,t,t,x n/a Fire Bomb 6 t,s,x fire 30 Pile Crusher 6 s,t,x 38 Spin Strike 6 x,x 46 Death Roll 7 t,t,t,t,x Flame Lariat 7 t,t,s,x fire Hell Splash 7 t,s,t,x Spells (Ether) Level Name EP Affected Effect Acquired Steel Fist 2 Self Atk UP Begins with Steel Body 2 Self Def UP Begins with Steel Spirit 2 Self EthDef UP 50 Steel Mettle 4 One/Enemy Gatling Spirit shots 60 Gear: Steir, El Steir Like Rico, Steir is powerful, yet slow, and it also tends to miss the enemy.

She doesn't have any deathblows. Her only real use in battle is her spells, but even they are not that effective. Deathblows n/a Spells (Control) Level Name EP Affected Effect Acquired Robo Beam 2 One/Enemy Shoot head laser beam Begins with Robo Missile 4 One/Enemy Shoot rear missiles Begins with Robo Punch 5 Area/Enemy Megapunch, PHY Atk/none 48 Robo Kick 8 Area/Enemy Gigakick, PHY Atk/none 50 Graviton Gun 30 All/Enemy Sealed Weap, Gravity Gun Gear: Siebzehn Siebzehn is the exact opposite of Maria. It's not that fast, but when it hits, it hits hard. Gear Deathblows Name Fuel Sequence Attack Level Mega Hammer 10+40 t,t 1 Dyna Flight 10+50 t,s 1 Gravity Fist* 10+10 t,x 1 Dyna Rush 20+70 s,t 2 Head Dive 20+80 s,s 2 GravityPress* 20+20 s,x 2 Meteor Press 30+100 x,t 3 Iron Break 30+110 x,s 3 Iron Storm* 30+30 x,x 3 Fire Drive 10 t Infinite Magneto 20 s Infinite Maria Beat 30 x Infinite Gear Options Name Fuel Affected Effect Missile Pod 400 Area/Enemy Eth Atk/none Gravity Cannon 1000 Area/Enemy Eth Atk/none Emeralda ------------------------ Emeralda is another good character. Unfortunately, her defense is poor and her HP is low, so she can't take much abuse. Deathblows Name AP Sequence Element Level Required Leg Cutter 4 t,x Begins with Wave Cutter 5 t,t,x Begins with Leg Spin 5 s,x Begins with Hammerhead 6 t,t,t,x Begins with Grand Arm 6 t,s,x Begins with Divider 6 s,t,x Begins with Flying Arm 6 x,x Begins with Tornado Hand 7 t,t,t,t,x wind Recount 7 t,t,s,x Dark Beast 7 t,s,t,x dark Spells (Ether) Level Name EP Affected Effect Acquired Anemo Dharm 3 One/Enemy Nanobolt, Wind Atk Begins with Terra Feist 3 One/Enemy Nanocube, Earth Atk Begins with Thermo Gord 3 One/Enemy Immolate, Fire Atk Begins with Aqua Aroum 3 One/Enemy Waterfall, Water Atk Begins with Anemo Omega 6 All/Enemy Air to Plasma, Wind Atk Begins with Terra Holz 6 All/Enemy Bury Alive, Earth Atk Begins with Thermo Giest 6 All/Enemy Firestorm, Fire Atk Begins with Aqua Dhaum 6 All/Enemy Geyser, Water Atk Begins with Gear: Crescens Crescens is the fastest gear. However, its HP is low, so, like Emeralda, it can't take much abuse.

Her only real good quality is that she has healing spells. Deathblows n/a Spells (Ether) Level Name EP Affected Effect Acquired Forest Dance 2 One/Ally Restores HP Begins with Culen Prayer 2 One/Ally Removes PHY effects n/a Myrm Prayer 2 One/Ally Removes MNT effects n/a Play Dead 2 Self Enemy ignores you n/a Maiden Kiss 8 One/Ally Removes KO status 40 Forest Wind 4 One/Enemy Project Air, Wind Atk 50 Earth Gnome 6 Area/Enemy Call Titan, Earth Atk 55 Ancient Myth 10 All/Enemy Mystic power, Atk (All) 60 Gear: Giant Chu-Chu Chu-Chu enlarges to gear size, which means in gear form she is just as bad as in character form. She has no gear deathblows and no gear options. However, her healing spells heal other gear's HP. Gear Deathblows n/a Gear Options n/a ************************************************************************ Disc One Walkthrough ************************************************************************ I've tried my best to keep from putting any spoilers to the story in this walkthrough, so I don't describe any of the scenes in detail. When I give directions, I prefer to use the compass. Since you can rotate the screen, left and right are no longer useful because most of the time each perspective can be different. At the top of each section, I've made a list of the monsters that can be encountered in each dungeon and the surrounding land types, and the treasures found in each area. The monster stats are for one individual monster, and I have them set up like this: Monster Name Exp Gold Treasure Special Info I have the treasures in each area sorted like this: items/gold character items gear items Lahan Village ------------------------ Hob-gob 2 0 Hob-Jerky Lil' Kobold 3 0 Fencing Cap Hopper 8 0 Fencing Gear 200 gold Power Ring Aquasol x 5 Spider Web 80 gold Eyeball Aquasol S RPS Badge 120 gold Mermaid Tear After the intro, info, and a short scene, you come upon Fei painting in his room. You can check each of the paintings to get a close up of them. Check Fei's bed to find his stash of 200 gold. Leave Fei's room and head to the western room. Check both barrels for an Aquasol each. There is also a spider web in the corner near the door. Jump up to get it, it will come in handy later in the game. You can talk to the maid in the northern room to see a scene of how Fei came to Lahan. Head upstairs. Talk to the young man, Timothy, for some info on what's going on in Lahan. When you try to leave, a boy named Dan comes in to talk to you, and then leaves. Follow him out, and head to the field behind the house. Talk to the old man there four times for two more Aquasols. Then go to the house south of the one you came out of. Here you can learn about different aspects of the game, such as the battle system. Talk to the bald man, and listen to his speech about Deathblows to get 80 gold. You can also talk to Lucca from Chrono Trigger, but if you listen to her info on the Memory Cube, she will take some money. Leave here and go east to the next house. In this house, you can get the RPS Badge by beating the man in the corner 5 times in a row, but this is harder than it sounds. When you play him, if you win, you get 50 gold, but if you lose, he takes 50 gold. There doesn't seem to be any real pattern to his choices, so you will have to rely on luck. Also, if you leave the screen, the count resets, so you have to do it all at once. You can go downstairs and speak to an old woman who will ask you what you think of Lahan. If you reply that you like it, she will give you 120 gold. Leave the house and go to the well. Jump in, and you will get an item. Keep jumping in until you get an Eyeball, Aquasol S, and Power Ring. Then talk to the woman next to the bearcow north of the well. Tell her what she says doesn't sound strange to get the fifth Aquasol. Head east to the house with the woman in front. Talk to her to gain entry. Go in and head upstairs to talk with Alice. After talking with her, leave the house. The house north of Alice's is a bar. Enter and talk to the man in the blue coat. Tell him that drinking won't solve his problems, and he will give you the Mermaid's Tear. The house west of the bar is the town general store. That's all there is to find in Lahan. You might want to go to the World Map and level up to at least level 4 before heading up the mountain trail. You can also try to get some Fencing equipment to help lessen the damage. When your HP gets low, you can rest in Fei's bed to heal. Also, if trying to get the RPS Badge made you lose your money, you can sell some of the Fencing equipment to get some more. After you're done, head up the north path out of town to go to the Mountain Path. Mountain Path ------------------------ Hob-gob 2 0 Hob-Jerky Jackal 3 0 Aquasol x 2 Bird Egg Spider Head north to see a save point and a signpost telling you which path leads where. Go north to get an aerial view of the path. Take the east path and follow it up to where it turns near the tree. On the east side is a treasure chest on a small ledge. Jump up to get it, and it's an Aquasol. Go back to the save point area, and look at northwest at the rock with a tree on it. You can walk up the light colored path. Go up to the tree and jump up in it to discover a bird's nest. You can choose to take the egg or leave it there. If you take it, a mother bird will follow you around. It will occasionally ask you if you will give the egg back. If you do, it will take it and fly off. If you hang on to it, she will peck you for damage. If you take the egg to Citan's house, his wife will cook it for you, and Fei will gain weight. This has an upside and downside. More weight means more attack power, but it also means you lose speed. Whatever you choose, go back down and take the west path. Follow it to where it breaks. Talk to the boy to learn how to jump across, then do it. Cross the bridge, then walk under it to find another chest with another Aquasol. Go back up to a tree next to a big rock next to the signpost. Jump up in the tree to find a spider. Touch it and press X to catch it, it will be useful later on. Follow the last of the path north to go to Citan's house. Doctor Uzuki's ------------------------ Aquasol 120 gold You get an aerial view of the Doc's house when you enter. Go to the east side of the house. Jump behind the flowerbed and turn around and check it. You will get Midori's Ring. This isn't a normal item, as it won't show up in your item list, but it will be important later on. Go back around to the front of the house again and go up the stairs. Open the south door and a chicken will come out. Check around the door for an Aquasol. Continue upstairs and go in the door. Climb up the ladder and you will be next to the telescope. You can look into it for a view of the surrounding area. Jump out near the smokestack and check it to find 120 gold. That's all to find here. Go inside and talk to Citan's daughter, Midori, and his wife, Yui. Yui will tell you that Citan is in the shed behind the house. Walk to the shed's door to get a scene with Citan (if you brought the egg, Yui will cook it for you). After the scene, go inside and check the yellow box for another scene. Afterwards, you will leave the house, and night has fallen. Go back to the Mountain Path. Cross the bridge to begin a scene. After it's over, follow Citan back to Lahan. Lahan Under Siege ------------------------ When you get to Lahan, a scene begins. Eventually, you will get into your first Gear battle. The Gear's help mode will tell you the controls of Gear battles. BATTLE (Gear) Musha Mk100 x 2 Exp: 180 Gold: 100 Treasure: none This battle is easy. Use 30 fuel attacks and they will die quickly. After you win, the scene continues. After the scene is over, you are on the World Map. Walk to the northern part of the forest to find the entrance to Blackmoon Forest. Blackmoon Forest ------------------------ Hob-gob 2 0 Hob-Jerky (Hob-Steak when killed by fire) Hob-gob 13 0 Hob-Jerky (Hob-Steak when killed by fire) Jackal 3 0 Forest Elf 21 0 Zetasol Dive Bomber 19 0 Armor Grub 35 0 Bizfruit Aquasol x 2 Arcane Rod SurvivalTent You are shown another aerial view when you enter. Make your way to the south side of the forest. Look for a medium sized rock next to a rock- type hill with steps and a giant tree laying sideways on it. Jump on the rock, then jump to the step, and work your way to the tree. Walk on the tree until it is over another tree. Jump southwest to the lower tree and grab the white bag for an Aquasol. Then make your way to the Hob-gob near the trunk and roots. Watch it jump upwards, then follow. When you make it to the top, fight the Hob-gob. Follow the path past the save point to another tree on its side with a Hob-gob in front of a boulder. Fight the Hob-gob, then get out of the path of the boulder, or you will take damage. Follow the tree west to the next section and a scene, a battle, and another scene. When it's over, you will be in the next section with Elly in your party. (When fighting Hob-gobs, use Elly's Thermo Cube spell to kill them for Hob-Steaks. They can be sold for money later. If she runs out of EP, then work on learning her Deathblows.) From the tree, head southeast until you see a signpost which shows the path up. Follow the path to another signpost. Take the south path to watch three Hob-gobs jump away from you. Follow the one that jumped southwest, fight it, and then get the treasure, an Arcane Rod. Jump southeast for another bag with another Aquasol. Make your way back to where the Hob-gobs jumped away, and follow the one that went south. Fight him, then jump down near the save point and the treasure, a SurvivalTent. (Before walking over the slab of rock, de-equip Elly of her items. She will leave after the coming battle, and she won't have them when she comes back.) Walk across the slab and you will get in a fight. Afterwards, there will be a scene. When it's over, follow Elly southwest to save her. You will fight the Rankar Dragon on foot at first, and after about 5 rounds, there will be a short scene, and you will finish the fight in Weltall. BATTLE (character/Gear) Rankar Dragon Exp: 348 Gold: 0 Treasure: Scales Turn on your booster. Use 30 fuel attacks and level 1 deathblows. He should die before dealing too much damage. After the fight, there will be another scene. When it's done, walk southwest to find the exit and one more scene. When you exit, you will be at the edge of a desert on the World Map. Head west to find Dazil. Before entering Dazil, you should level Citan up to level 10, and work on learning Fei and Citan's deathblows. If you need to heal, use Citan's Sazanami. When finished, enter Dazil. Dazil ------------------------ Grassland: Hob-gob 2 0 Hob-Jerky Lil' Kobold 3 0 Fencing Cap Hopper 8 0 Fencing Wear Desert: Sand Man 60 75 Sand Shark 121 0 A scene and aerial view green you when you enter Dazil. As Citan suggested, you should first head to the Ethos workshop. It's the dome- shaped building in the southeast part of town. Enter for a short scene, then talk to the man near the shelf to learn that they can't help you. Head back to the north part of town, and you will see a buggy sitting there. Walk to it, and Citan will get an idea. Before you enter the rental shop, you can buy supplies or sell some items. Across from the buggy shop is a man surrounded by tires. He will sell you weapons/armor/accessories. Southwest from the rental shop, near an archway, is a man behind some boxes. He will sell you items. Across from him is a bar/inn. Enter to see a scene with a man named Big Joe. When you are finished, head back to the rental shop and enter. Speak to the man behind the desk to rent a buggy. Citan will leave, and you will need to go after him. Exit the town, and walk west on the World Map to begin your search for Citan. Aveh Desert ------------------------ Sand Man 60 75 Sand Shark 121 0 Aveh Soldier 75 35 Aquasol After walking west a bit, you will enter a desert and see two gears hopping past you. Follow them. You will see a scene, then two more Gears. Follow them, too. After a few screens there is another scene, then you fight two Gears. BATTLE (Gear) Trooper x 2 Exp: 360 Gold: 500 Treasure: Extra Ar These gears aren't hard. Use 30 Fuel Attacks and Level 1 Deathblows. After they go down, more scenes follow, then another battle. BATTLE (Gear) Wyrm Exp: 1044 Gold: 0 Treasure: Eyeball The Wyrm has a very high defense, so if you have any EP, use Fei's Guided Shot spell. If you run out of EP, or you don't have any, use 10 Fuel Attacks and Level 1 Deathblows. Watch your fuel, because the Wyrm will steal some fuel for each attack you make. After the battle, there is another scene. Aveh Transport ------------------------ Aveh Soldier 75 35 Aquasol, Rosesol Aveh Corporal 75 ? Leather Hat SurvivalTent Leather Vest Rosesol Extra Ar+1 After an anime scene, you will wake up in a prison cell with Citan on an Aveh Transport. Talk with Citan and eventually he will ask you if you want to sleep. Choose "Good Idea" for more scenes. Soon the transport will begin to sink. First, head east and enter the room next to yours for a SurvivalTent. Then, head west past your cell to another room for a Rosesol. Keep heading west and fall down a hole to the engine room. Head east, climb the ladder on the side of the engine, then head west for an Extra Ar+1. (In the battles in this area, fire from the engine room will hit everyone for some damage, so watch out.) Head back to the south side of the room, then climb up some stairs to the catwalk. (Watch out here, parts of the catwalk floor will break away, making you have to jump over them.) Follow the catwalk to another ladder, picking up a Leather Vest along the way. In the next room, make your way around the boxes to another ladder. When you get to the top, you will have to climb to the top of the crane. It's much easier if you rotate the screen a bit first. After you make it to the top, there is a scene and a battle. BATTLE (Gear) Brigandier Exp: 0 Gold: 0 Treasure: none Brigandier will use Wild Smile on you, decreasing your evade and accuracy. Just use 30 Fuel Attacks and Level 1 Deathblows. After about 800 damage, you both fall into a cavern. Stalactite Cavern ------------------------ Sand Man 60 75 Tin Robo 680 210 Extra Ar, Extra Ar+1 Medusoid 689 0 May Fly 1410 690 Extra Ar+1, Eyeball Nomad Fix Bot 420 200 Heals HP, Fuel Gold Nugget IronG Whip Following some scenes, you and Bart will have to find a way out of the cavern. In the southwest part of the cavern there is a giant boulder. Examine it to have Fei and Bart push it out of the way. After a short scene, grab the nearby treasure, a Gold Nugget, and head southwest to a tunnel. (To help with learning deathblows, have the character you want to learn walk out of his gear and the other character stay in his gear. That way the enemies in battle will mainly concentrate on the character in the gear while the other learns deathblows without fear of dying.) Follow the tunnel to another cavern. Walk across the land bridge until it splits. The gear here will give you some info. Take the west path until you see some ledges. Jump on them to get an Iron GWhip for Bart's Brigandier. You can't do anything with the sensor near the treasure yet, but keep its location in mind. Go back to where the path split and head south. You are shown a house. Head to it. Enter for a scene with a man named Balthazar, or Ol' man Bal. When the scene is over, talk to him again to learn how to exit the cavern. You can also get more info from him, and buy items, gear parts, and upgrade your gears. When upgrading, it's usually best to buy an engine with the highest output, the frame with the most HP, and armor with both physical and ether protection. However, since Ol' man Bal doesn't have that type of armor, buy the best of what he does have. When you're finished, exit and head north. Jump up to find another land bridge and tunnel. Follow them to a ridge above the beginning cavern, where one sensor is. Examine it to turn it off. Return to where the other sensor is, and turn it off also. After you've turned the sensors off, return to Ol' man Bal's house. He will lower the barrier for you. After the scene, you can exit this cavern. Before you do, it is better for you to level Fei and Bart to at least level 22 so they can begin using 6 AP deathblows. You can also use the above method to teach them more deathblows. There is a very difficult battle coming, and their gears will need these more powerful deathblows. This is the perfect area for this since when you gear HP gets low, you can go to Ol' man Bal to repair it. When finished, leave the cavern through the barrier exit. Head south until you see an elevator and gondola. Exit your gears and enter the gondola. When you get to the other side, go to the red switch on the generator and turn it on. Head back to the elevator. Get on and examine the switch on the northwest corner to go down. Head to the canyon, jump in, then jump up to the south side of the cavern. Take the elevator to the next cavern room. When you enter you will see a big gear flying around the ceiling. Jump down and it will attack you. BATTLE (Gear) Calamity Exp: 0 Gold: 0 Treasure: none First turn on booster. Then have Bart cast Wild Smile on Calamity to stop its normal attacks from hitting you. Use 30 Fuel Attacks and the highest level Deathblows you have. Try to make this battle end quickly because Calamity has a rocket attack that can cause around 500 damage. When you deal about 2500 damage, Calamity will go down. After a scene, head to the southeast side of the cavern. Jump up to the highway and enter the tunnel to exit. Yggdrasil ------------------------ After more scenes, you will be in the gear dock of Bart's ship, the Yggdrasil. You can enter the building to the north and talk to the man behind the counter to upgrade Fei and Bart's gears. When finished, head to the north side of the dock for the door. In the hallway, the east door is unoccupied. The room north of it is the Medical Bay. The west room is the crew quarters. Talk to the man in the brown coat to rest. In the hallway again, the door on the north side leads to a meeting room/shop. Talk to Maison to buy items/accessories. Downstairs is two more unoccupied rooms and the way to the engine room. Back in the hallway, the west door next to the tree is an elevator. Go up. In the upper level, the ladder leads to the deck, and the door leads to the bridge. Head to the bridge and talk to Sigurd to go to Bart's Hideout. Bart's Hideout ------------------------ Sand Man 60 75 Sand Shark 121 0 Neo Tin Robo 1110 150 Extra Ar, Extra Ar+1 Trooper 250 100 Extra Ar Sand Trooper 1050 1000 C Circuit+1 Iron Whip After some scenes, you will follow Maison upstairs. The north door leads to the residential sleeping area. The east door leads to the planning room. The south door (with the note on it) leads to Bart's room. Go in for an Iron Whip. The west door Maison and Citan went through leads to a shop/dining hall. The west passageway leads to the World Map. Follow Maison and Citan into the dining hall for a scene. After it's over, Citan and Bart will head to the planning room. You can talk to the little girl near the door for a short scene. Talk to the woman behind the counter to buy items/accessories/gear parts. When you're done, follow Bart and Citan to the planning room for another scene. After the children take the elevator down, go into Bart's room. When you try to leave, there is another scene. Afterwards, head back down to the entrance of the Yggdrasil. When Bart asks to talk to you, say "Sure" for another scene. After that scene, walk past the elevator to the catwalk. Follow it to the Hideout's gear hangar. Jump up to the catwalk surrounding Weltall and talk to the man in front of it for more scenes. After their over, head to the sleeping area. Talk to the man in the brown coat east of the door to rest. After some scenes, head to the elevator and head down. There will be a scene, then a battle. BATTLE (Gear) Sword Knight Exp: 1500 Gold: 300 Treasure: Extra Ar+2 Not a hard battle. Have Bart use 30 Fuel Attacks and Level 1 Deathblows, and have the other two gears use 30 Fuel Attacks. He dies quickly. After the battle, there will be another scene and then another battle. BATTLE (Gear) Aegis Knight Exp: 1500 Gold: 300 Treasure: Extra Ar+2 Also not hard. Use 30 Fuel Attacks and Level 1 Deathblows. He's nothing to worry about. After the battle, there is yet another scene and battle. BATTLE (Gear) Wand Knight x 2 Exp: 3000 Gold: 400 Treasure: none These gears are a bit tougher, they have a beam attack that can deal about 300 damage. Use same strategy as last two battles to finish them off. There is another scene and battle after this one is over. BATTLE (Gear) Claw Knight Exp: 1500 Gold: 300 Treasure: Extra Ar+2 This gear's a wimp, too. Use the same strategy to finish him off. There's a short scene and then the last battle. BATTLE (Gear) Schpariel Exp: 17890 Gold: 1700 Treasure: Beam Coat Schpariel's about as hard as all the previous fights combined. His attacks can deal some moderate damage, so watch out. Turn on your boosters, and use 30 Fuel Attacks and your highest level Deathblows. After the battle will be more scenes. When you are in control again, head to the Yggdrasil bridge and talk to Sigurd to leave the Hideout. You are now in control of the Yggdrasil. Head southeast to Bledavik. Bledavik ------------------------ Sand Man 60 75 Sand Shark 121 0 Neo Tin Robo 1110 150 Extra Ar, Extra Ar+1 Trooper 250 100 Extra Ar Sand Trooper 1050 1000 C Circuit+1 H&S Badge Scenes will begin when you enter Bledavik. When they're done, walk into the marketplace. A woman will talk to you. Tell her you don't have a hotel yet and she will show you one in town and tell you to give her name to them when you register. When you walk in the marketplace, on the east side is a stairway. Walk up it, and make your way behind the armor store to a small place with a grate and an old man and old woman. Talk to the old man. It will help you later on. Head back to the marketplace. There are stalls on each side where you can buy Radishes, Ariberries, and Elfananas for 10 gold each. At the north end is a stall where you can sell Fangs, Eyeballs, and Scales. These are good prices, so you can sell them if you want. Southwest from that stall is a passageway that is hidden between two stalls. Go through it and talk to the boy in the corner. Tell him you want to play hide-and- seek. To get him to hide you must leave the screen and come back. Now you must find him. His first hiding place is behind the archway at the north side of the marketplace. His second hiding place is near the hotel the woman showed you, behind some barrels near the church. The third place he hides is behind a small archway north of the same hotel. His fourth and final hiding place is in a corner in the eastern part of the south entrance. When you find him all four times, he will give you the H&S Badge. If you talked to the old man by the grate, the boy will tell you about his experience at some point in the hide-and-seek game. He will also tell you the old man has the key. Talk to the old man again. Tell him that you will "Rescue Margie" and he will give you the key. Head north to Shakhan Square. Talk to the man next to the stall west of the entrance. Buy a minigear. Talk to the bird-like boy near there twice. Give him the minigear and he will tell you how to get a Gold Nugget. After that, head to the north exit of Shakhan Square. Bart will stay behind. Head to Fatima Castle. There will be a scene. Afterwards, head northeast and talk to the guard in the booth to register for the Tournament, and any name will do. Head back to Shakhan Square, pick up Bart, and go back to Bledavik. Go to the hotel the woman showed you. There will be a scene. If you want to rest, talk to the woman behind the counter. Tell her you have a recommendation, then tell her you don't know who, and she will lower the price to 40 gold a person. Whether you stay or not, follow the sister to her room. There will be another scene. (If she doesn't mention the Tournament, talk to her again.) When the scene ends, it will be just Fei in the party. You can look around town more if you want, or talk to Bart or Citan and pick to rest to begin the plan. Rescue Margie ------------------------ Aveh Guard 242 45 Aquasol Aveh Guard (2) 242 45 Aquasol Bart: Hob-Jerky x 2 Iron Mail x 4 Hob-Meat Cobra Cracka Gold Nugget SurvivalTent Rosesol S x 2 Aquasol S x 2 After resting, there will be a short scene. Head up to Fatima Castle. Talk to the guard between the fence and booth to get through to the next area. Talk to another guard at another fence to get through. Walk into the tent on the east side. You will see Dan there, talk to him to begin the Tournament. The control will switch to Bart. After a short scene, have Bart head to the barrels the hide-and-seek boy hid behind. There is a grate there. Open it and fall in. There will be a scene, and then Fei will have his first fight. BATTLE (Character) Gonzalez Exp: 500 Gold: 0 Treasure: SurvivalTent This guy can be dangerous if you're not careful. He counter attacks for about 75 damage each time you use a deathblow, so use a weak attack and cancel it to build up your AP. When you have about 20 AP, let loose your combo. After winning, the menu will appear, and after you're done, the control will switch back to Bart. Bart will start on the ladder in the water system. The time until control switches back to Fei depends on how much time you spent in battle, so try to remember where you are when it does. Hold circle to swim faster. Head up the tunnel, past the split heading southeast, and watch for a pipe a little after the split. Climb up it to get the Gold Nugget the bird-like boy told you about earlier. Return to the tunnel and continue moving ahead. When another split heading southeast appears, follow it for a Rosesol S. Go back northwest and continue north. Past a slope the tunnel will split, heading northeast and northwest. Take the northeast tunnel first. Follow it to another split and head north. When it splits again, head southeast. Follow it to another split, head southeast for a SurvivalTent. Head back to the very first split (go northwest, west, northwest, south, southwest) and take the northwest tunnel. Follow it to another split. Take the south tunnel first for an Aquasol S. Then head north to the final split. The south tunnel leads to the fountain in Shakhan Square, the southeast tunnel is a dead end, and the north tunnel leads to the castle. By now Fei should have gotten in his second fight. BATTLE (Character) Big Joe Exp: 1 Gold: 1 Treasure: Metal Vest Big Joe by himself is no real threat since he can only deal 2 damage max. The real threat is the audience. They can heal him for 140 HP and hit you for 60 damage, so make sure to keep your health up. When the menu comes up, equip Fei with the Metal Vest you get for this fight. When you're done, control switches back to Bart. When you get into the castle, swim to the east side for a ladder out of the water. Talk to the old man for a scene, then head up the southeast corner ladder. This brings you to the well in the center of the courtyard. If a soldier sees you, he will chase you until he catches you, and you will have to fight him. Fei should have his third fight by now. BATTLE (Character) Scud Exp: 500 Gold: 0 Treasure: Sampson'sHair Scud's technique is using pills that cause a variety of status effects, and bees. Make sure to keep your HP us. When the fight's over, back to Bart. Back in the courtyard. Head south from the well. Two guards are in front of the archway, but they're not difficult to beat. Head east first. In the first room is a Cobra Cracka for Bart. The second room is empty. The third room has a guard and four Iron Mails. The Iron Mails are on pedestals north and south of the door, check each to get it. Head back to the archway, and head west this time. The first room has two Hob-Jerky and one Hob-Meat. They are hanging from the ceiling above the stove. Jump and press x to grab them. Room's two and three lead to the cafeteria, which has nothing of interest. Head back to the archway and go through the door south of it. You will be in a room with two stairways leading up. By now Fei should have his fourth battle. BATTLE (Character) Dan Exp: 500 Gold: 5 Treasure: Wedding Dress (if not hit) Do not hit Dan at all during this battle. If you do, you will not get the treasure. Just defend and heal when necessary. After a few rounds Dan will hit you with a fireball attack for about 60 damage. Eventually, Dan will say some things, throw the Wedding Dress at you, and then leave. After the battle, equip Fei with an Iron Mail if you have them, then switch back to Bart. Back in the stairway room, go upstairs one floor and go through the north double doors. Head east again. The first room has nothing. The second room has a lot of guards. The third room has an Aquasol S inside. Go back to the double doors and head west. The first and second rooms have nothing in them. The third room has a Rosesol S. Continue north and east, and then go through the door. Head upstairs. You can go upstairs again to Shakhan's room to play with his hidden camera (twist wine bottle next to mirror). When done, head northeast to find a door. Go in to a hallway. Go east then north to find Margie's room. By now Fei should have his final battle. BATTLE (Character) Wiseman Exp: 0 Gold: 0 Treasure: none Many of your attacks will miss Wiseman, but it doesn't matter. After about four rounds Wiseman will say some things and leave, making Fei the champion. Then control switches back to Bart for good. Back outside Margie's room, kill the guard and go through the door. There will be a scene. When you go back into the hallway, you will run into Ramsus and Miang. After a short scene, a fight breaks out. BATTLE (Character) Ramsus and Miang Exp: 0 Gold: 0 Treasure: none Throughout this battle, Margie will heal Bart and Miang will heal Ramsus. If you equipped Bart's Cobra Cracka, it will poison Ramsus, making Miang waste a turn curing his poison. When Ramsus goes into his Mirror Stance, do not attack him, or else he will counter for some heavy damage. Defend until he stops it. After Ramsus takes about 400 damage, Fei will arrive, and another scene occurs. After the scene, you fight again. BATTLE (Character) Ramsus & Miang (Part 2) Exp: 0 Gold: 0 Treasure: none This battle is a little easier thanks to Fei. Use your best deathblows, and watch out for Ramsus's Mirror Stance. After about 850 damage, Ramsus will be beaten. After the battle, the party escapes. Following this are some scenes. Head down the hallway and through the door for more scenes. Eventually, you will be on the deck of the Yggdrasil. Head downstairs to discover Margie's stuffed animal blocking the way to the bridge. Examine it, then go to the room next to the Medical Bay, from now on called Margie's Room. Talk to her to discover the toy is actually a living thing called Chu-Chu (or whatever you decide to call her). After the scene, if you have the spider from the Mountain Path, talk to Chu-Chu and she will trade it for an Ether Veiler. Go back to the bridge and talk to Sigurd for a short scene. Talk to him again for info on how to get to Nisan. Take the Yggdrasil northwest to find the lone tree. Go near it to find the road and use it. Nisan ------------------------ Desert: Sand Man 60 75 Sand Shark 121 0 Neo Tin Robo 1110 150 Extra Ar, Extra Ar+1 Trooper 250 100 Extra Ar Sand Trooper 1050 1000 C Circuit+1 Grassland: Hob-gob 2 0 Hob-Jerky Lil' Kobold 3 0 Fencing Cap Hopper 8 0 Fencing Wear Ether Veiler After some scenes, you will come up in Nisan's secret dock. There will be another scene, then you can head into Nisan. Another scene, then you will be in control. There is an item shop northwest of the first set of stairs. They have some items that can only be found here, and only for so long in the game, but they are very expensive. There is also a man from the Yggdrasil gear shop here, but there's nothing new. When done, head to the northeast part of town and talk to the man in the archway to take Margie to the cathedral in the center of Nisan. There will be a scene, then follow Margie to some stairs in about the middle of the east side. As you follow Margie around, you will see scenes as she explains things to you. Follow her to the third floor's 'Room of Sophia' for more scenes. After they're over, go back to the second floor and look for a door on the west side. Enter and head to the south part of the room to find Margie and Sister Agnes. Talk to Sister Agnes for info on Sophia, then head back to the entrance of Nisan to see Maison. Talk to him, then go inside and talk to Sigurd for scenes and info on his and Citan's past. At one point, you can choose which questions Bart asks. Ask each question once. Afterward, say you understand to continue. When you continue, Bart will leave. Follow him to an archway just past the item shop. Talk to him for another scene. When they're finished, head to the building northwest of the item shop. There will be more scenes. When they are over, it is the next day. When you are prepared, talk to Bart. There will be more scenes. Eventually you will be in control of Citan. Talk to Maison, then go up the elevator and the ladder to the deck. You will see more scenes. When they're over, you will be at the Kislev Mountains. Kislev Mountains ------------------------ Mayfly 1410 690 Extra Ar+1, Eyeball Medusoid 689 0 Edelweiss 880 0 Fang Nomad Repair Bot 420 0 Rosesol S MagneticCoat Gold Nugget Extra Ar+2 You are shown the entrance to the cave when you first arrive. Before entering, search the southeast area for a MagneticCoat and Extra Ar+2. Then enter the cave. When inside, make your way northwest, picking up a Rosesol S and Gold Nugget along the way. You will see a gear in front of the exit. He will sell you gear parts and items, but if you say you can't trust him, you will fight him, and he will not be there anymore. There are some tough fights ahead, so before entering, you should level Fei up to level 30. Also, if you have a Beam Coat, equip him with it. When you're finished, save and walk outside. Walk to the east to begin some scenes and battles. BATTLE (Gear) Wand Knight x 2 Exp: 3000 Gold: 400 Treasure: Extra Ar+2 These guys are pushovers. The only thing to worry about is their beam attack, but it can only do about 300 damage, half that if you equipped Fei with the Beam Coat. Use 30 Fuel Attacks and Level 1 Deathblows to take them out. Immediately following this battle is another battle. BATTLE (Gear) Sword Knight, Claw Knight, Aegis Knight Exp: 4500 Gold: 900 Treasure: none Turn on booster. First, concentrate on the Sword Knight, then the Claw Knight, and finally the Aegis Knight. Use the same method as above to finish them off, but try to do it quickly so they don't take off too much HP. Following this battle are more scenes, then the last battle. BATTLE (Gear) Vierge Exp: 0 Gold: 0 Treasure: none There will be scenes throughout this battle. Turn on booster. Use 30 Fuel Attacks and the highest Level Deathblow you have. Watch out for Vierge's Aerods, they can do up to 350 damage. If your fuel runs low, get to Attack Level 3 and charge until it gets higher or your HP falls below 800. After you do about 2400 damage to Vierge, the battle will end in a scene. After the scenes, you will be in another cave. Heal, save, and make your way up the cave ledges until you are in a yellow light. Jump up to exit the cave. After more scenes, you will be in control of Bart. Head up the ladder to begin more scenes. After they're over, exit the room. Control will switch back to Fei. Attack on Border Fleet ------------------------ Sand Tripper 550 110 Trooper 250 100 Extra Ar Gigafoot 320 220 C Circuit After more scenes, you will begin the attack on the border fleet. Equip Fei with something that increases agility in the desert (A/C, C Circuit, C Circuit+1), a Beam Coat, and an Old Circuit. Make your way west, watching out for gunfire (-1 HP) and mines (-15 HP). Some gear battles are unavoidable, so don't worry about them, but try to conserve your HP and Fuel. After moving up the screen, there will be another scene, then back to Fei. Keep heading west. After this screen are more scenes, then a battle. BATTLE (Gear) Main Gun, Small Gun x 2 Exp: 7000 Gold: 0 Treasure: Gold Bullion Ignore the small guns, just hit the Main Gun with 30 Fuel Attacks and Level 1 Deathblows. It should die before getting a shot off, but even if it does, it only deals about 400 damage. After you destroy it, there will be more scenes, then another battle. BATTLE (Gear) Dora Exp: 13393 Gold: 2000 Treasure: Extra Ar+3 This battle can be very difficult, especially if you didn't equip the Beam Coat. Dora begins with a head cover, so Fei will deal less than 100 damage, and the red gears will deal none. Have Fei attack with 30 Fuel Attacks and have the other two charge. When Dora picks up the two red gears, do not attack him! Just charge until he throws them back down, then continue with the attack. After about 7 or 8 turns, Dora's head cover will be destroyed, so you can begin doing some damage. Have Fei turn on booster and begin using 30 Fuel Attacks and Level 1 Deathblows, and have the other two gears use 30 Fuel Attacks, remembering to charge when Dora picks the two gears up. After about 3000 damage, Dora will go down. After the battle there will be more scenes. Eventually, Bart will get into a battle. BATTLE (Gear) ? Exp: 0 Gold: 0 Treasure: none You are destined to lose this battle, so don't worry about fighting. After the third turn, the gear will hit you and then use his Kishin attack, which results in 19998 damage, much more than you can handle. After Bart goes down, more scenes will follow. Eventually, you will be given the option to save, then continue with the game. Nortune D Block ------------------------ Dog Food After more scenes, Fei will wake up in Kislev's D Block. After more scenes, you are given the chance to prepare. When finished, walk towards them to begin. BATTLE (Character) Leonardo Exp: 300 Gold: 150 Treasure: none Leonardo is easy. Use your best deathblow to finish him off. He never deals more than 4 damage. Next up is Heinrich. BATTLE (Character) Heinrich Exp: 300 Gold: 150 Treasure: none Heinrich is just like Leonardo, except he can deal 2 or 3 more damage. Use the same strategy as you did with Leonardo. Next fight is with Vargas. BATTLE (Character) Vargas Exp: 300 Gold: 150 Treasure: none Vargas is a bit harder. In addition to his weak attack, he will counter attack you for every attack that hits him. If you hit him with a deathblow, he will counter for each hit. Keep your HP up and charge your AP to 20, then let him have it. Next up is Suzarn. BATTLE (Character) Suzarn Exp: 500 Gold: 0 Treasure: Metal Jacket When Suzarn hits you, one of three things will happen. She will either hit you for 2 damage, halve your HP, or drain all of your EP. If you keep your HP above 3, she will never kill you. Use your best deathblow to finish her off. After Suzarn you fight Rico. BATTLE (Character) Rico Exp: 0 Gold: 0 Treasure: none There will be a short scene at the beginning of the battle. Afterwards, Rico will spend his firs two turns casting Steel Fist and Steel Body. On his third turn he will hit you for about 1200 damage, so don't worry about beating him. After the battle are some scenes, then Fei will wake up in the infirmary again. Go upstairs and go out the west door. You can go up the ladder south of the door and jump across the track and talk to the guard near the dog to buy some Dog Food from him for 5 gold. You can give it to the dog, but it doesn't really do anything. Head to the southeast building with neon signs above it and go in. Head east to get the attention of a beastoid man. Talk to him for a scene. After the scene, talk to him again to buy items and accessories from him. Leave here and head to the northeast part of town. A guard will stop you and there will be another scene. Head back to where Hammer was for another scene. Head back to the infirmary when the scene's over for another scene. During this scene you can choose to have your collar removed, take a rest beforehand, or to forget it. If you choose to forget it, the scene will continue. If you choose to rest, the scene will stop until you talk to Hammer. If you choose to have the collar removed, the scene that follows will be random, but one scene will result with you getting 3500 gold, so if you want to rest so you can save and reset until you get this scene, it's up to you. Whichever you choose, the scene will go on. Eventually you will control Fei in the infirmary again. Go upstairs for another scene. Go to where the guard stopped you for another short scene with him, then follow the road out of D Block. Nortune Battling Arena ------------------------ Head northwest to the Battling Arena for another scene. When it's over, you can talk to Hammer to guy items and gear parts, but since you don't have your gear yet, you can't buy the gear parts yet. You can also talk to the girl behind the west side of the counter for info on battling. When you are done, talk to Rue and say you're ready for more scenes. Soon you will be given choices of what to do next: learn battling controls, tutorial of battling, a practice battling match, or to begin the real battling match. You should probably learn (or relearn if it's not your first time through) the controls, then do a few practice rounds to prepare. When you're done, select 'Begin battle' to continue. Your first battle is against Ganador. Ganador He isn't very hard. When you knock his life bar down past halfway, there will be a scene. After more scenes, Fei will wake up in the infirmary again. You can talk to Hammer to buy items or accessories. When you're done, head back to the battling arena. Talk to Hammer again to tune up your gear. When you're done with that, talk to the girl behind the east part of the counter to continue battling. Your next opponent is Tin Robo. Tin Robo He's not that difficult, but if you're not careful he can kill you. After this battle and every battle you win, you are given an amount of gold dependant upon how you did in the battle and how long you took. Talk to the girl again to begin the second battle against Titan. Titan He's a bit easier than Tin Robo. He usually doesn't block ether bullets, so use that to your advantage, but be careful to not let your- self overheat. After you beat Titan, head back to the infirmary and rest by walking to the westernmost bunk beds. When you wake up, head back to the battling arena to continue. W-Shaver He is also no real threat. Musha He tends to use a lot of laser shots and ether bullets, so watch out. After these battles, head back to the infirmary and rest. When you wake up, there will be a scene.

Then cross the bridge and head south again to the chalk outline for a scene.

Then jump up the pipes for an Ether Veiler. Head back outside and head west then south- west for another scene. You should now try to get Citan and Rico up to level 30, and work on getting Rico some deathblows. The battle coming up is a tough one, so also make sure you have plenty of Zetasols. When you are prepared, go to where Gramps is, then head north, northwest, northeast, north, then northwest to find the drain. Examine it for a scene and a battle. BATTLE (Character) Redrum Exp: 52425 Gold: 100 Treasure: none This battle can get difficult. Redrum has a few attacks that can really mess with your party. He uses a gel attack twice that poisons or confuses your party members. He has a Fire Rain attack that hurts the party and heals him. Finally, he has an attack called 'Murder' that kills a party member and heals Redrum for their max HP. Also, Rico's Fire Bomb deathblow heals Redrum, so don't use it. First, have Citan cast Renki, then Suiseii so you don't have to worry about Redrum's Fire Rain attack. Then charge everyone's AP to 28 and hit him hard with your combos. Hopefully you can kill him before he uses 'Murder', but if he does just revive the party member and continue with the attack. After you defeat him there will be more scenes, then you will be at the sewer entrance. Head back to the infirmary for a scene with Rico. After the scene, you will rest and be back in the infirmary. Go to the Battling Arena to continue with your battling matches. Hatamoto He likes to use combos, so don't stay in close quarters with him for long.

When you try to leave D Block the guard will stop you again for another short scene. Exit D Block. Head to the southeast part of Nortune, A Block. At the east side of A Block you will see Big Joe.

The object is to get the crane to the south side of the room near the green boxes without hitting anything on the way. When you do, you can use the crane as a jumping step to get to the top of the boxes. If you mess up, leave the room and re-enter to reset the crane.

The east door is locked, and the south door will bring a scene, and you won't be able to use it, so jump up the boxes to an air duct opening. Follow the duct to a split. The west split leads to a grate you can peek through for a short scene. Head down the south path to another split. Take the south path and follow it to an opening that leads to a room.

When you get to the city map, you will see Big Joe. Talk to him and he will tell you how to change your party, and about the M Disk. After talking to him, exit Nortune. You can spend time on the World Map getting Elly some more deathblows if you plan on using her, or you can go straight to the Factory.

Follow the path. The first split off leads south to a save point and the second split off leads east to an O2 Cylinder.

Reverse the latter conveyor belt and get on it. Ride it through two more rooms. In this room, the blue panel on the south wall reverses the conveyor belt pointed east, the western blue panel on the north wall drops two treasures (they seem to be random), and the eastern blue panel on the north wall reverses the direction of the belt you were on.

BATTLE (Gear) Fis-6 Exp: 67284 Gold: 15000 Treasure: Ground Turn on boosters and use 30 Fuel Attacks and your best Level Deathblows.

There will be a short scene, then when Citan says 'we can do this', talk to him to fly the Goliath out of the Factory. There will be some scenes, then a fight.

In the northeast part is a weapons/ accessory store, and in the northwest part is an items store. When you're done, lave the Armor Ground to go to the Thames' deck map. Talk to the gear nearest to the Armor Ground and answer yes to his question to get a quick tour of the deck. Head to the Supply Entrance first. When you're inside, walk to the gun that's south of you and use it as a bridge to the boxes across the way. Then walk over the plank of wood below to more boxes, and the big knife after that to more boxes. You will now be near two hanging cylinders, one with a treasure on top. Jump on the cylinders to get it, a Lunar Rod. Now head north and talk to the man near a panel to buy gear parts. Upgrade your gears. Remember, it's usually better to buy armor that has both physical and ether protection. Also, equip Fei and Elly's gears with anti-electric parts (Mica, Ground, Insulated Ar). It will pay off soon. Now head to the northwest corner of the Supply Entrance. Jump on the lone box southeast of the child in the corner, then jump over the fence east of the box to get a SerpentGWhip. Jump on the barrel to the east and jump over the fence to get out. Now head to the west side of the Supply Entrance, and stand near some boxes with cats on top. Eventually you will see another cylinder with a treasure on top of it pass overhead. Jump up and hit the bottom of it with your head to knock the treasure off the cylinder on to the floor. It is a Mica. Now head to the south- east side of the Supply Entrance, and go in the door southwest of the flaming barrel. Drop off the ledge onto the top of boxes below. Walk north to find a hole with the last treasure in this area, a D Circuit. There is a small box you can use to jump out. Now head back to the northwest corner of the Supply Entrance. Talk to the child in the corner, and answer yes to both his questions for him to show you a card game. He will explain the rules and controls to you. When he is done, you can challenge him to a game. He moves rather slowly, so he is pretty easy. If you win, he will give you the Super Goggles. Once you beat him, you can't challenge him again. Now head back to the northeast corner and look for the door to the Screw Elevator. Go inside and check where you came out of to get a list of areas to travel to. Pick the Beer Hall. When you get there, talk to the man in the south corner looking out the window to play another card game. He is a bit faster than the boy, but not as bright when placing cards. If you beat him, he will give you the Premier Shoes. He also won't play you again when beaten. Go back to the Screw Elevator and go to the Deck. Head back to the Armor Ground. On the west side of the Armor Ground is a woman on a big brown box. She is your next card game opponent. She is very fast and very good with card placement. If you beat her, she gives you a Deathblower1. Unlike the other two people, you can play her again, and if you beat her again, she will give you a random item. When you're done playing cards, get in the Screw Elevator and go to the Bridge. Talk to the man in red east of the door for a scene, then follow him to the Beer Hall. You'll find him near a table by the windows. Talk to him again for more scenes. After they're over, follow the Captain to the Bridge for more scenes. After these scenes are over, head to the Thames' deck for a short scene, then walk to your gears and press X to get in them. There will be more scenes, then a battle. BATTLE (Gear) Haishao Exp: 0 Gold: 0 Treasure: none Turn on booster and use 30 Fuel Attacks and Level 1 Deathblows. Haishao will use an ether attack that hits the whole party, and an electric attack that hits one person. If you bought armor with ether protection and equipped anti-electric parts, Haishao's attacks won't cause too much damage. At some point, the battle will end in a scene. After this battle, Bart will be able to use his 'Ygg D. Charge' gear option. After more scenes, you will be on the deck of the Yggdrasil. Head to the Screw Elevator for more scenes. After they're over, you'll be in the bridge of the Yggdrasil. Head up to the Yggdrasil's deck, then head up the stairs to find Big Joe with a woman. Talk to Big Joe and say that you're disturbing his amore time to play him at the card game. He is fast and he's ok with card placement. If you beat him, he will give you the LongDarkCoat, and then run off. After that, head to the Beer Hall for some scenes. Afterwards, head back to the Yggdrasil. Go to the room with Maison, and head down the stairs and go north to the engine room for a scene. When it's over, talk to Citan, then Elly, then Citan again.

During the battle, Bladegash will enhance her sword with different elements. You can cancel out the sword by having Elly cast an opposing element on Bladegash. Wind cancels Earth, Fire cancels Water, and vice versa. If you attack while her sword is still enhanced, she will attack you back. After the battle is a scene then another battle. BATTLE (Gear) Haishao Exp: 0 Gold: 0 Treasure: none There will be a short scene, then the battle begins. Miang's gear will occasionally heal Haishao, but there's nothing you can do about her. Turn on booster and use 30 Fuel Attacks and your highest Level Deathblow. Each of Haishao's attacks will hit you three times. Make sure not to attack Haishao when it's in Mirror Stance, as it will counter for a lot of damage. Just heal and charge fuel until it comes out of it. Eventually, the battle will end in a scene. After this battle, Elly will be able to use her 'Aerods' gear option. After a scene, you will be in the Thames' Sick Bay. Head to the Armor Ground for a scene. After it's over, head to the Yggdrasil.

As Billy suggests, look for the red switch on the middle of the east wall. Examine it to turn on the lights and unlock the type A doors. Head north then kick some boxes to the west of you out of the way to get a Penguin Coat. Go up the ladder and head north to an opening. Go down. Next to you is some B&JM10S Ammo. Head south, but don't let the meat slabs hit you. When you get to a wall, there is a SurvivalTent. Look near it on the east wall to find another switch. Examine it to unlock the B type doors. Head back north and go through the door. The first room on the east side has the Cabin Key, but the other two on this side are empty. The shower in the first room on the west side will begin a short but slightly scary scene. The second room has a Silver Beret, and the third has some ShotG60 Ammo. The northern door is locked, but it is also rusted shut. Run up to and hit it three or four times to knock it down. Head north and go up the ladder. Head north and you will see a tube open up when you get near it. Equip Billy's advanced ammo, then jump down the tube. There will be a battle. BATTLE (Character) Bloody Exp: 25701 Gold: 3000 Treasure: none Bloody is pretty much the same as Redrum. He has the same moves as Redrum, but he uses 'Murder' a lot more. If he hits someone with 'Murder' revive them right away, or the battle will get difficult. Charge your AP to 28, then let him have it. After the battle are some scenes, then another battle. BATTLE (Gear) Giant Wels Exp: 77103 Gold: 10000 Treasure: G-M686 Gun This boss will grow when hit with an ether attack, except for Billy's ether guns. You won't be able to damage him with non-ether attacks until he has grown four times. Hit him with 10 Fuel Attacks to charge to your highest Attack Level. Then hit him with four ether attacks. Be careful, because when he grows his defense goes down, but his attack goes up. After the fourth growth, hit him with your Deathblows. After the battle, you will be on the Yggdrasil. There will be a short scene, then launch the Yggdrasil. First, head to the Orphanage. Go to the back room with the bookcase. Examine it to put Book 1, Book 2, and Book 3 in it and it will move. Push it the rest of the way to get into the room behind it. You will find the B&JM686 Gun. After getting it, head to the Ethos HQ.

Then head to the door on the west side. Go through it for a short scene, then a battle. When it's over, there's another short scene. If you want to check the rooms, the last room on the west side has a battle, and the room at the end of the hall has a passageway down. Go down it to find a body. Check it for a short scene, then go back upstairs to the hallway. Go upstairs for another battle. Afterwards, in the next hallway, there will be two more battles. The first room on the north wall has a short scene. The other two rooms on the north wall are empty except for bodies. The room on the south wall has three people. Go back downstairs, and take the stairs to the infirmary. There will be a short scene, then a battle, in the hallway outside the infirmary. The infirmary has one person inside. Head through the west door in the hallway, and go through the first door on the north wall. It leads to a room. Go outside to find an Aquasol DX and a Seal Ar. Go back downstairs. The second passageway on the north wall is blocked, as is the one on the south wall. The last passageway was the one from earlier. Go back east through two doors. When the path splits, take the north split first. The first room has nothing inside. The second has a man. Talk to him twice, then head to the third room. This room has Big Joe. When you get near him, there will be a scene, then he will leave. Go back to the main path, and continue east. Soon there will be a platform. Go down and continue on. In this hallway is a room on the east side. Go in for some rather long scenes. When they're over, head back into the hallway for more scenes, and eventually a battle. Afterwards, follow Jessie into the room to the north for more scenes. Eventually a party menu will appear. Pick your party, then launch the Yggdrasil. Head for the Thames. When you get to the Thames, head to the Bridge and talk to the Captain for a short scene. Talk to Hans to get directions to the Dig Site. Head to the Yggdrasil and leave the Thames.

When you enter, take the platform down and go through the hole in the wall. There will be a soldier there. In this area, when you get near the soldiers, they will fight you. Go through the door to the south for a scene. When the elevator stops, go through the door. Only the east door opens, so go through it. Follow the path to a hallway with a lot of doors, most of which don't open. A soldier guards the only door that does open. Take the elevator down and go through the door. Head north to a hallway. First head west for some B&JM686AAmmo. Then head east until you see two doors, one of which is guarded by a soldier. Go through that door for a Sleep Guard, then go through the other door. Follow the path to another hallway. There will be a single door, go through for a Black Snake. Continue in the hallway to see two more doors. Go into the guarded room for a Panalphasol, then go through the other door. Head downstairs and check the door to perform a manual scan. Then go back to the room with the Black Snake and check the computer panel to reset the emergency level. Go back downstairs and through the door. After the pressure decreases, head through the southwestern door. Examine the computer panel for some scenes. Go towards the tube for more scenes, then a battle. BATTLE (Character) Tolone, Seraphita Exp: 62328 Gold: 10000 Treasure: VIT Drive, ETH Drive If you brought Bart along, and you equipped him with the Black Snake, have him hit Tolone and Seraphita at least once to decrease the damage of their ether attacks. If you didn't bring him along, or didn't equip the Black Snake, have Citan cast Renki, then Suikeii to protect you from Seraphita's attack, as she causes the most damage. First concentrate on taking out Tolone. Charge your AP to 28, then let her have it with your combos. When she's down, do the same to Seraphita. Make sure to keep your HP up. After the battle, make your way out of the Dig Site. When you leave the pressure room, there will be a scene. Head back to the entrance of the Dig Site. (I recommend saving at least once on the way up.) When you get to the walkway overlooking the city, there will be a scene, then a battle. BATTLE (Character) Id Exp: 90534 Gold: 5 Treasure: none Make sure to keep your HP above 200 in this battle. Id's regular attacks aren't much, neither is his ether attack, but he will use deathblows on two of your characters at a time, and they pack a punch, so watch out. Many of your attacks will miss Id, so charge your AP to 28, and hope that most of your combos will connect. After the battle there will be another scene. Continue to the Dig Site's entrance. When you get outside there will be another scene. After it's over, if you have any Seal Ar's, equip them now. Head to the Yggdrasil's gear dock and walk behind Weltall for some scenes. Then the party menu will appear. Pick your party and there will be more scenes, then a battle. BATTLE (Gear) Alkanshel Exp: 132549 Gold: 30000 Treasure: E Circuit Alkanshel has a barrier that prevents any damage, so don't attack him. Just charge, and in a few turns, the battle will end momentarily. There will be some scenes, then the battle will begin again with Alkanshel's barrier being destroyed. Turn on booster and use 30 Fuel Attacks and your highest Level Deathblows. Alkanshel will use his 'Mass Limit' attack that will halve your HP, and his Seal will do about 1000 damage to anyone without a Seal Ar. Make sure to keep your HP above 1500, because when you kill Alkanshel, he will do a final attack. After the battle are more scenes. After this battle, Billy will be able to use his 'Jessie Cannon' gear option. After the scenes, the party menu appears. Pick your party, then there will be another scene. You will be in the Yggdrasil's bridge when it's over. Head down to the gear shop in the gear dock and upgrade your gears. When you're done, launch the Yggdrasil and head east to find your next dungeon, Babel Tower.

Follow the platform to the end and drop to the lower section. Go inside and come out the hole in the south side to find an Ether Ar. Drop down into the water to come up below the entrance. Jump up three ledges and go under the fourth to find an EarthVeil Ar. Jump to the fourth ledge and follow the path on the west wall to get a Lite Ar+1. Go back south and then east. Jump east, then south. Go through the hole in the small wall and jump directly onto the chain. You will then see instructions on how to move the chain. Swing the chain until you get enough momentum to jump to the next platform. Follow it to a long finger-like section. This section will drop when you step on it. It will drop to a certain point then come back up, no matter how long you stay on it. First jump to the middle of the section. When it begins to point downward, jump again so you don't slip off. When it starts to come back up, jump to the end, then jump to the roof of the next pathway to get a ThunderRodG. Then drop down to the outside of the hole of the pathway and go in. Follow it to the end and there will be a scene. Carefully move near the chain and jump up to it to move to the relay station. Head to the west end of the platform to see a character-sized door. Get out of your gears and go through it. Inside is a Gold Nugget. Jump to the chair and examine the computer panel next to it for some scenes. Go back outside, get into your gears, and jump to the lower catwalk near the train. You will then jump inside the train. Climb up the boxes to the upper platform for a short scene and two treasures, and Ether Ar and a Beam Jammer. Get out of your gears and climb up the handrails to the door, then check the wall below it to jump up and into the next room. You will find two more treasures, an Old Circuit and a Gold Nugget. Jump up to a chair and check the computer panel above it to begin more scenes, then, eventually, a battle. BATTLE (Gear) Wyvern Exp: 23652 Gold: 3000 Treasure: none Turn on your boosters and use 30 Fuel Attacks and Level 1 Deathblows. Wyvern has a 3 hit attack that will cause about 1200 damage, and his 'Mirror Stance' is back, so if he uses it, don't attack. After the battle are more scenes. After the scenes are over, head through the south door. Follow the path to a hole, which has a treasure, a Ground, and another character-sized door. Get out of your gears and go through it. Inside you will find three treasures, an O2 Cylinder, a Gold Nugget, and an E Circuit. Check the northernmost computer panel to unlock a door further in the Tower. Exit the room. Jump on the cables to get out of the hole. Head south. Soon you will come to a much deeper hole. Drop down and head north for two more treasures, a Veil Doubler and a Wind Veil Ar. Head back south. At the end of the path you will have to jump on more cables to continue on. The north path leads back to the hole you fell down, so take the south path. Soon you will come to a room with no floor and pipes hanging down. You can't fall off the pipes, so don't worry. Head to the other side, grabbing the Ice RodG and Fire Veil Ar on the way. You will come into a vertically long room. Head to the northwest corner to find a gear that will only heal and refuel you. Head south and grab the Stone RodG under the red structure, then go back and jump on top of it and head to the south side. Jump on top of a huge Traffic Jam. There will be a battle, then it will begin to rise. When it gets near the edge of another red structure, jump across to it. Head to the north, jumping to a white platform, then another Traffic Jam. Ride it up and get the treasure, a G-M10S Ammo, then jump to another white platform. Follow it south, checking behind the crumbled section of highway for a Gold Bullion. Jump to another Traffic Jam, and ride it up. Jump off and follow the path north, checking behind another section of highway for some G-GG060 Ammo. Jump on another Traffic Jam and ride it up next to another white platform. Jump to it, then fall to the red structure below. Check the hole in the northeast corner for a Flare RodG, then ride back up to the white platform. Jump to the next red structure for a WaterVeil Ar. Go next to the east wall, then jump down into the gap, using the gray strip in the middle on the wall as a guide line. You will fall down on another Traffic Jam. Ride it up, then jump across to the south side. There will be some blue pipes. Climb them to reach the top of the Tower. When you get there, head to the middle of the platform to begin a scene, then a battle. BATTLE (Gear) Seibzehn Exp: 60000 Gold: 10000 Treasure: Heavy Alloy Turn on your boosters and use 30 Fuel Attacks and your highest Level Deathblows. Seibzehn can it for at least 1000 damage, so watch out. He will sometimes heal himself for 400 HP, but it's nothing to worry about. After the battle are more scenes.

Go to the elevator in the center of the room and check it to ride it up. You will be on the Shevat Map. First, walk in front of the white statue and walk down the path in front of it. Examine the end to find a Dawn Rock. Then head to the city on the northern side of Shevat, Apehl Aura. Follow the path until you see a big white dog. Fall off to the ledge next to him and go through the door next to where you land. There will be a short scene. If you have the RPS Badge, H&S Badge, and the Tag Badge, talk to the old yellow Chu-Chu between two display cases. He will give you a random item and a Power Ring S in exchange for the badges. Talk to a gray Chu-Chu under the platform. Answer him 'Not necessarily...' to get two Aquasol S's and an Aquasol DX. If you jump from the platform and talk to the pink Chu-Chu on the lamp, she will give you hints on finding two more rocks like the Dawn Rock. You can talk to the old yellow Chu-Chu on the platform to buy weapons and accessories, and the orange Chu-Chu behind the counter to buy items. When you're done, take the gray platform down. Head out the west door, and talk to the old woman there. Tell her you like fishing to buy a Spider Web from her for 50 gold if you don't already have one. She'll also tell you can fish in the fountain in the other room. Go there and jump to the top of the fountain. Check it o begin fishing. Soon, a fish will bite, and you can choose to reel it in. Sometimes, however, the line will break, causing you to buy another one. If you catch a big red fish, you will get the Dark Rock. If not, keep trying. When you're done, head back upstairs and outside. Take the east path. Follow it to a house with a gray platform out front. First, go in the house and down the platform near the door. Talk to the man in a cap to buy gear parts. Upgrade your gears, then go back outside. Take the platform down to a path to another house. Go inside, and check the doll for the Dusk Rock. Go upstairs and into the room to the east for a scene, then check the rocking horse for another scene. Before heading to the palace, go back to the entrance of the town, and go down the platform near the old man. Go downstairs, then through the door in the southwest corner. Go to the lone platform and check it to put the three Rocks into it. Go up to go to a secret room. Check the desk for the Chu-Chu Idol and a scene, then check the shelf on the opposite side of the room for a Power Crisis, Panalphasol, Hob-Steak, Physimentsol, Sampson'sHair, Yamato Belt, Hard Star, Speed Star, ETH Drive, VIT Drive, STR Drive, ETHDEF Drive, HP Drive, and an EP Drive. You can also check the north bookcase for some info, then leave. Leave the city and go back to the Shevat Map. Walk to the Statue to find the Entrance to Shevat Palace, and go in. After you ride the elevator up, walk towards Maria to have her show you where to go. Except for the northeast room, the other rooms are there for you to explore, but there aren't any items in them. The northeast room is a sleeping room with a save point. To rest, check a bed. When you're done, follow Maria through the double doors. Keep going to meet Queen Zephyr. Walk towards her for a scene, then go back to the sleeping room. Rest, then go back and talk to the Queen. Say 'My heart is set!' for some scenes. Eventually you will have to pick someone to stay behind with the Queen to take Maria with you. Leave the palace. On the way out, an orange Chu-Chu will talk to you, and you can buy items/weapons/accessories/gear parts from him. Go to the Shevat Lower Floor. On the way down there will be a scene, then go through the door to enter the Emergency Shaft.

Take the east path and go down the platform to get a Queen's Rod. Go back up and take the west path. Take the platform down and head west. Go down a ladder, then walk near the green jewel for info on what it does. Use it, then jump on a platform and ride it east. Jump to the next pathway, then go down a ladder, and take a platform down. In this area you can use the Shevat Map. First, head south, past two splits, to find a Battle Apron. Head back north and turn west at the first split you come to. Follow this path until you see a door in the south wall. Go up the stairs and into the next hallway to find a Ruby Helmet, Aquasol DX, and a Rosesol DX. Go back downstairs to the previous hallway, then head east, north, and turn west at the split. Follow this path until you see another door in the south wall. Go down the stairs and into the next hallway. Follow this path to a split. First, head south to find a Whip-Lasher. Then head north to another split. The east split is guarded by an enemy. The stairway doesn't lead anywhere new, but Big Joe is inside if you want to talk to him. Continue north to find a platform and ride it down. Jump east, follow the path down two ladders, and rid
