Enjoy Shadow Hearts! ****************************************************************************** * I Full Walkthrough (Part 1) (FwAAA) * ****************************************************************************** o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o | I - i Train (Fw001) | o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o Item Checklist: Thera Leaf.........._____ Mana Leaf..........._____ The game begins with a cutscene... When you find yourself in control head down two train cars. Examine the two bodies to receive a Thera Leaf and Mana Leaf. Continue down for a scene. Boss: Roger Bacon HP: N/A Class: Darkness Drop: N/A You can put up as much of a fight as you wish, however after a couple of turns this boss will use an attack to deal 999 damage, effectively ending the fight. ~*~ After the fight, watch the scene. Once you're on the world map be sure to press square to access your menu, and choose 'Data' to save your game. Your next destination is Plains. o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o | I - ii Plains (Fw002) | o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o Item Checklist: SluiceGateHandle...._____ A scene occurs when you enter. Once it's over head South. Along the path you'll come to a fork and lose control for a moment. Soon after you'll have a chance to name both characters, Yuri and Alice are the defaults. Head Southeast to the next map. After a quick scene go to the right side of the area and save your game. At the Northeast norner examine the gate on your left to get a message about having a handle. Head to the Southwest gate and examine it. Now here's how the game works, you have a ring here and a specific area you want to get the meter into. By pressing X quickly you will move the meter forward, if you stop pressing X it will begin to slowly move backward. When the time runs out you want the meter to be in the red area. Start by pressing X quickly and slowing down as you approach the red area, once inside it reduce your frequency of pressing X to the point where you're about staying still with the meter in the red. Also note that if you go too far and do a 360 degree spin, it will lock and you automatically lose. You will get a better prize the les tries it takes you so if you mess up the first time, I recommend loading from the menu. You main prize comes later but for now you get the SluiceGateHandle. Also note you can perform a similar task on the Northwestern gate that is more akin to your normal battle ring. The same elements of failures and prizes apply. Once you have the SluiceGateHandle put it into the gate at the Northeast. Once you do turn around and head forward to trigger a scene. Boss: Fox Face HP: N/A Class: Darkness Drop: N/A Yet another fight where the outcome is predetermined. There is no reason to attampt to win this fight. ~*~ Another scene after the fight. o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o | I - iii Graveyard (Fw003) | o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o Item Checklist: Leather Belt........_____ Holy Mother Bust...._____ Head straight up and examine the glowing green tombstone. You'll automatically be taken into a battle against an enemy who is only slightly harder than a normal monster. Got Fusion Soul! The soul of Raging Tiger. Now go to your menu and select Equipment. Under Soul, select and equip Raging Tiger. Approach the West side of the graveyard for a scene. You'll have to fight another enemy here, Evil 4 who is not particularly hard in anyway. When the battle ends the conversation continues and the time comes for you to leave the graveyard. Approach the East gate to trigger a scene. When you're back again save your game at the save point and exit the area to the West. There's a chest on your left which contains an item which will be different depending on how well you performed on the sluice gate challenge. For a first try you get Leather Belt (or possibly a Bandana.) For a second and third you get a Mana Seed and Thera Leaf respectively, and absolutely nothing if it took you more tries than that. Equip the accessory you just got. Head Northwest and when you come to the fork head down the path to the left that was blocked before. When you cross a conversation will beging. When it's over move toward the town, Be sure to grap the chest on the left side of the gate containing Holy Mother Bust before entering. Watch the scene when you approach the gate. o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o | I - iv Zhaoyang Village (Fw004) | o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o Item Checklist: Angel Feather......._____ Bronze Arrowhead...._____ Tent................_____ TalismanOfLuck......_____ Phoenix Tail........_____ Torch..............._____ Metal Vassel........_____ Shell Bracelet......_____ Guild Card.........._____ Wandering Merchant Bandanna............ 320 Leather Belt........ 320 Shell Bracelet...... 2770 Bone Bracelet....... 2960 Thera Leaf.......... 50 Mana Leaf........... 100 Pure Leaf........... 230 TalismanOfLuck...... 480 Mermaid's Tear...... 70 Holy Mother Bust.... 75 Phoenix Tail........ 90 Bronze Arrowhead.... 100 Silver Hourglass.... 100 Tent................ 480 Head down one screen and examine the ground on the upper left side of the screen to find an Angel Feather. Go back up. Speak to the man laballed as "Bad-haircut old man", across the path directly to the right of him you'll find a Bronze Arrowhead on the ground. Proceed North. Save your game at the save point. On the ground beside the well on the right side you'll find a Tent. At the Northeast corner of the screen to the right of the "Lost Peddler" is a TalismanOfLuck on the ground. Now speak with the Lost Peddler to make some purchases. When you're ready go North through the fence for a scene. Afterwards follow the people into their house to conitnue the scene. Soon after a battle against two normal enemies occurs. After the battle examine the box in the upper right corner of the house to receive a Phoenix Tail. Leave the house and go toward the shrine for a scene. Afterwards return back down to the well where the cat lady should appear and disappear. Purchase any items you need and save your game. Head all the way South to the entrance of town for an event. You now havea new party member and someone who can work on your weapons. Your weapon has three levels of power increase and target area increase when you talk to Meiyuan, each which costs more than the last. You can probably at absolute minimum afford the first power upgrade, or ring upgrade if you're having trouble hitting it on time. Go back up and save your game then enter the mayor's house. Afer the scene return to the main entrance of town. On the ground beside Meiyuan you will find a Torch. Go up one screen and examine the shop on the left side to find a Metal Vassel, you will have to perform a task similar to the ring in a normal battle. Save and return to the mayor's house. Boss: Felnius HP: 250 Class: Wind Drop: Lottery Ticket To make this boss fight easy begin by transforming using the Raging TIger fusion you received at the Graveyard. Stick with normal attacks for Yuri and healing Magic for Alice. Zhuzhen can use Ogre Flamedance, see if you can hit in in the red 'Perfect' area but if you find that you run too much risk of missing, normal damage is better than no damage at all. The boss has one somewhat damaging attack that hits your entire party but Alice's cure magic should be quite enough to keep you above dangerous HP levels. ~*~ Leave the house and save once again. Proceed North and examine the shrine. When it asks if you wish to violate it say that you do. Boss: Yamaraja: Earth HP: 300 Class: Water Drop: Star Brooch This boss is somewhat harder than the one you just faced, you may been to level up a bit before fighting him. Start the battle again by fusing into Raging Tiger and using normal attacks. This boss' attacks aren't too much to worry about except for his Large Whirlpool attack which hits everyone for heavy damage and inflicts a status effect that will decrease the hit area on your ring. Use the Phoenix Tail you found in the mayor's house to cure this effect. Again Zhuzhen's Ogre Flamedance is a fine choice for damage, and Alice will have her hands full keeping your HP up. ~*~ After the fight watch the scene. Be sure to pick up the Shell Bracelet from examining the shrine. Head toward the town gate and speak to the peddler, he will give you a Guild Card. When you reach the gate a scene occurs. Back on the world map you can save your game, then enter Fengtian and watch the next scene. o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o | I - v Fengtian (Fw005) | o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o Item Checklist: Pedometer..........._____ Fengtian Item Shop Knuckle Blade....... 1200 ShootingStarTome.... 1420 Leather Vest........ 1000 Leather Skirt....... 1200 Bandanna............ 325 Leather Belt........ 320 Shell Bracelet...... 2770 Bone Bracelet....... 2960 RosewoodBracelet.... 3000 Spikes.............. 2810 Thera Leaf.......... 50 Mana Leaf........... 100 Pure Leaf........... 230 TalismanOfLuck...... 480 Mermaid's Tear...... 70 Holy Mother Bust.... 75 Angel's Feather..... 80 Phoenix Tail........ 90 Bronze Dagger....... 200 Gold Hourglass...... 200 Tent................ 480 After a quick little conversation head to the right and speak wit hthe SIlent Peddler. He'll give you the Pedometer. Next talk to the man on the left of the fountain and he'll let you use your Lottery Ticket to play a game. You can win one of the following prizes, Jade Lariat, B. Tortoise Fang, TalismanOfMercy, Pure Seed or Tissues. Do your best to win and item and then go wake Alice up. Once you have control again leave the area to the West. On the next screen you'll find a chest in the alley to the Northeast contianing Tent. Proceed Northwest and enter the shop, an event occurs soonafter. In the shop save your game and talk to the person at the counter, make sure to buy new weapons for your party. Once you're done speak with Alice and say that you are ready. Watch the scene that follows. Now it's time to descend the ladder into the sewer. o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o | I - vi Sewers (Fw006) | o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o Item Checklist: Gold Hourglass......_____ Pure Seed..........._____ Type 94 Pistol......_____ At the Southeast side on the little stairs beside where you start you'll find a Gold Hourglass. Head up from where you started and go left at the first fork. At the end of the path you'll find a chest containing Pure Seed. Return to the fork, take a couple steps up and take the next left path. Approach the small hole and an event will occur. Return to the fork for a scene. You'll have the chance to name Margarete. Head South, East, North, and East. At the end of the path you'll reach a save point. Ignore the ladder for now and go Southwest from it and then North. There is a chest here contianing Type 94 Pistol. Go back and try to climb the ladder. Once you realize you cannot get through return to the entrance. Take the left of the two North paths and follow it to the end. Cross the debris and get the Sealing Stone from the wall. Return to the ladder and climb up. Choose to set the Sealing Stone. You will have to fight a few slightly harder than normal enemies. Just fuse Yuri and fight as you would any other fight. Once the fight is over save your game and ascend the ladder out of the sewers. o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o | I - vii Airstrip (Fw007) | o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o Item Checklist: None................ / Once you get on the surface a scene will occur, then you'll have to fight a couple of very easy enemies, followed by another two. Boss: Beast Dog HP: 450 Class: Fire Drop: Spikes This is an easy fight if you know what you're doing. First of all fusing Yuri is a given. Now this boss is of the Fire class so since Margarete has the Aqua Edge spell which gives your attack the Water property be sure to use it on Yuri. Stick with physical attacks for him and grenades with Margaree. As always Alice is on healing duty especially after you get hit with Breath of Fire, you may want to use up one of Margarete's attacking turns to heal yourself. ~*~ When the battle ends, watch the scene. On the world map save your game and head to Dalian for another scene. o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o | I - viii Dalian (Fw008) | o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o Item Checklist: Lottery Ticket......_____ Lottery Ticket......_____ TeaOfTheHealer......_____ Dried Fish.........._____ 2000 Cash..........._____ Underground Armory Knuckle Blade....... 1200 ShootingStarTome.... 1420 Hexagonal Staff..... 1100 Type 94 Pistol...... 1300 Leather Vest........ 1000 Leather Skirt....... 1200 Sea Turtle Restaurant Bandanna............ 325 Leather Cap......... 600 Leather Belt........ 320 Casual Belt......... 600 Shell Bracelet...... 2770 Bone Bracelet....... 2960 RosewoodBracelet.... 3000 Spikes.............. 2810 Brigand Earrings.... 5000 Pirate Earrings..... 5000 Thera Leaf.......... 50 Mana Leaf........... 100 Pure Leaf........... 230 TalismanOfLuck...... 480 Mermaid's Tear...... 70 Holy Mother Bust.... 75 Angel's Feather..... 80 Phoenix Tail........ 90 Branze Arrowhead.... 100 Bronze Dagger....... 200 Silver Hourglass.... 100 Gold Hourglass...... 200 Tent................ 480 Start by speak to the man standing in the gate to your left. Agree to help him, simply run around pressing X until you find the turtle and return it to him, he gives you a Lottery Ticket. Head over to the ship, at the end of the dock you'll find a chest containing another Lottery Ticket. Head West to the next map, you can save your game here. On the far East side there's a somewhat hard to see chest containing TeaOfTheHealer. Enter the house to the left of the save point and watch the scene. Go downstairs and speak to the shopkeep through the wall if you need to pick up some equipment. Leave the house and a very lengthy scene will occur. When you have control again speak to the man on the right side of the house, this man will sell you some items. Leave the house and save your game. Exit North and you'll find a glowing red circle near the dock. Examine it. Boss: Yamaraja: Wind HP: 800 Class: Earth Drop: Seal of Life A relatively hard battle awaits you here. Without Alice you'll have to rely on healing items to stay alive. Also note that physical attacks do not damage the boss so you need to rely on other methods. For the most damage use Yuri's darkness fusion and cast Dark Messenger, use Margarete's Grenade and Zhuzhen's Orge Flamedance. With these three spells it should be enough to take him out however you'll find you need to heal fairly often so be sure to stock up on Thera Leaves before the battle, they're inexpensive and heal you to almost full HP. ~*~ Head back to the village and save, then enter the house where Alice is being kept. A lengthy scene occurs. When you have control again leave the house and speak with the woman Southwest of the save point. She'll give you a Dried Fish. Enter the house on the East side and speak with the old woman. Now exit and take three steps to the left, examine the ground and you'll have to do a ring test. One hit gets you 500 Cash, two hits 1000 Cash and three hits 2000 Cash. If you head North and speak with the man in the gate again you can play a minigame that yields a few normal items, but overall isn't really worth it. There a Silent Peddler who will exchange items depending on how many steps you've taken. When you're ready speak with the man standing in front of Margarete to continue. Save your game on the world map and select Smuggler's Boat to trigger a scene. o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o | I - ix Smuggler's Boat (Fw009) | o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o Item Checklist: Lottery Ticket......_____ Crawl out of your room and speak to Margarete. Head left and examine the door. Continue left and speak with Zhuzhen. Now return to the room with the save point and speak to Alice. When you leave again before examining what's going on at the left side of the boat be sure to enter the room on your way and get the Lottery Ticket beside the wheel. Leave the room and check out what's going on. Watch the scene. When you're back in the room save your game and go up. Examine the door to the wheelhouse. Here you'll have to fight a battle against a few normal enemies. Following the battle return to the save point for yet another battle. Return to where Zhuzhen was and speak to him. A third battle occurs. Heal up and go save your game. When you're ready go back and speak to Zhuzhen. Boss: Li Li HP: 550 Class: Darkness Drop: W. Tiger Hair Li Li can be a very annoying boss because of her Dark Messenger attack which has the ability to kill you instantly. Her other two attacks, Paralysis and normal physical are weak and nothing to worry about, but hope that you have a few TalismanOfLucks on you. Since her class is Darkness cast Alice's Holy Edge on Yuri and use a fusion transformation (Light if you have it, or any besides Darkness) and attack normally with him and Margarete's Grenade. ~*~ Watch the scene after the battle. Boss: Li Li HP: 700 Class: Darkness Drop: N/A This version of Li Li is slightly harder as she has a powerful attack capable of tergeting your whole party, however she can no longer you any instant death spells. Cast Holy Edge on Yuri again, and use his physical attack along with Margarete's Grenade. Overall this is a similar fight to the one you just completed and you should not having a problem winning unless you were extremely taxed from the last battle. ~*~ Once the battle is over another scene will occur. On the world map save your game then select Shanghai, and Huayuan and witness the flashback. o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o | I - x Shanghai - Huayuan (Fw00A) | o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o Item Checklist: Pilgrim's Staff....._____ Mana Seed..........._____ Lottery Ticket......_____ Lottery Ticket......_____ TalismanOfMercy....._____ B. Dragon Horn......_____ Seal of Life........_____ Phoenix Tail........_____ Shanghai Weapon Studio Steel Claw.......... 2800 Tome of the Moon.... 3000 Pilgrim's Staff..... 2700 Nanbu Pistol........ 2900 Studded Harness..... 2500 Studded Bustier..... 2700 Mika's House Leather Cap......... 600 Studded Cap......... 1700 Leather Belt........ 320 Casual Belt......... 600 Western Belt........ 1700 Shell Bracelet...... 2770 Bone Bracelet....... 2960 RosewoodBracelet.... 3000 Bell Bracelet....... 3120 Spikes.............. 2810 Voodoo Doll......... 5200 Brigand Earrings.... 5000 Pirate Earrings..... 5000 Thera Leaf.......... 50 Thera Seed.......... 120 Mana Leaf........... 100 Mana Seed........... 300 Pure Leaf........... 230 Pure Seed........... 510 TalismanOfLuck...... 480 TalismanOfMercy..... 820 Mermaid's Tear...... 70 Holy Mother Bust.... 75 Angel's Feather..... 80 Faerie's Sigh....... 85 Phoenix Tail........ 90 Branze Arrowhead.... 100 Bronze Dagger....... 200 Silver Hourglass.... 100 Gold Hourglass...... 200 Tent................ 480 Boss: Wugai HP: 300 Class: Darkness Drop: N/A It is next to impossible to lose here, simply fuse and stick to physical attacks. The battle will end momentarily. ~*~ Watch the scene. As Zhuzhen leave the room and speak to the Silent Peddler on the left. Descend the stairs and save your game. Now leave the inn. A couple steps Southwest of the inn is a hidden treasure chest containing Pilgrim's Staff. At the very South beside the barrel you'll find a Mana Seed. Just up the stairs from where you got the Mana Seed beside the cart and shopkeeper is a Lottery Ticket. Now enter the building at the Southwest and a scene will occur. Examine the barrels beside the stairs to find a Lottery Ticket. Leave the bar and head East to the next section of the city. To the right of where you appear hidden under the yellow sign is a TalismanOfMercy. South from there beside the bookshelf is a B. Dragon Horn. Leave this area to the Southwest. Examine the barrel beside the green arch to find a Seal of Life. Go down into the boat and open the chest to find a Phoenix Tail. Speak to the kid and play the lottery, try and win a Star Card. Return to the first town map and enter the bar at the Southwest corner. Speak to the bartender. Watch the scene, you'll have to fight two easy fights. Afterwards you'll have to fight a battle that you cannot win. Boss: Wugai HP: 300 Class: Darkness Drop: N/A Fuse into Raging Tiger and use physical attacks here, you shouldn't even have to heal, but if you do just use Raging Tiger's healing spell. ~*~ After the battle a long conversation begins. Return to the bar and speak witrh Meiyuan, you can upgrade your weapons. Puch the curtain aside and you'll find a battle arena, for 300 Cash you can set one character against a bunch of enemies. Winning ten fights in a row will get you 5000 Cash and an accessory. When you've upgraded your equipment, bought everything you need and saved, exit the town to the North. Select Temple Ruins from the world Map. o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o | I - xi Temple Ruins (Fw00B) | o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o Item Checklist: Tent................_____ Bronze Arrowhead...._____ TeaOfTheHealer......_____ Bronze Dagger......._____ Mana Seed..........._____ Bell Bracelet......._____ TalismanOfMercy....._____ W.

Zhuzhen will leave your party temporarily. The West path leads to a shop, save point and a person to talk to. Once you visited return to Zhuzhen and speak to him. HEad sown the staris. Follow the path North to yet another save point and a scene. Enter the newly opened door. Open the chest to receive a Tent. Follow the path to the end and use the warp portal. Continue along, ignore the empty treasure chest. Get the next one containing Bronze Arrowhead. Take a few steps South and then head East, use the yellow warp portal to get to the next floor. You can buy items from Ziaofang here if you need to. Head up past the first empty chest and open the second which contains TeaOfTheHealer. Head West of this chest to find another containing Bronze Dagger. Head North, West, South and get the Mana Seed. A few steps South and then West you'll find a chest containing Bell Bracelet. Head East, South, South to find a TalismanOfMercy. Head as far East as you can now, the furthest East path leads to a W. Tiger Hair. Finally run to the very Northwest corner and find a red warp portal. Take the warp to the next level. Head north then save your game and examine the wall. Choose to go for it. Boss: Xieshi HP: 550 Class: Fire Drop: Jade Lariat A relatively simple fight made slightly challenging only by your lack of items. Use Zhuzhen's healing spell if he has it, or fuse Yuri into something with a heal spell. The boss' attacks aren't particularly devastating so you'll have the chance to deal a good amount of physical damage with Yuri. ~*~ Now you'll have control of Alice and Margarete. Proceed through the door and get the Tent from the chest. Head North and warp to the next level. Go West, then North at the fork to find a chest containing B. Tortoise Fang. Go to the Southwest corner and warp. Head East and then South at the first fork, continue South until you reach a chest containing Western Belt. Keep going South from there to find a Voodoo Doll. Return to the North most path and head East, grab the Thera Seed from the chest. Go South, and then East. There should be an empty chest here, head South and get the Silver Hourglass then go back North and head East. Open the chest containing Gold Hourglass then keep going along the path to reach yet another chest with Witch's Broth. To the North is the warp to the next level. Save your game and examine the wall. Boss: Baigu HP: 400 Class: Light Drop: N/A You won't have any use of your special abilities here but you don't really need them. Margarete's attack is sufficient to take care of the boss after a few turns and Alice can take care of the healing. Don't let your health get too low, not much else to say. ~*~ Controlling Yuri and Zhuzhen once again save and head East. Pick up the Tent out of the treasure chest and continue to the fork. Go East and then North until you reach a green warp portal. Take it. Proceed North until you reach a chest containing Thera Seed. Go West then North and find another with Soul Benediction. From this screen go East, East and East to find Leonardo's Bear and then take the Warp Portal. (There's a Mana Seed as well somewhere on that floor if you want to go back and search.) Head West, West and North then open the chest to find the Seal of Wisdom. From here go South, West, South, South and you can play the lottery. Head North, North, West, South and get the chest containing Pure Seed. Keep going to find one with Wood Token. Go back North to the fork and proceed West. Get the Studded Cap from the chest. Run all the way South and warp to the next level. Go and and save your game, then examine the wall. Boss: Qinggu HP: 500 Class: Water Drop: Leonardo's Bear You really have no way of healing so killing this thing fast is your only option and Zhuzhen won't be of much help. If you didn't get the Flash Badge from the Lottery I recommend you go back and get it, Yuri will get two turns for each one the boss gets with it equipped, using this you'll be able to dish out enough physical damage, otherwise since you have few options, levelling up is all that really remains if you can't win. ~*~ Save your game and enter the door. Watch the scene, then attempt to leave. Boss: Yamarja: War HP: 800 Class: Darkness Drop: R. Phoenix Talon Extremely easy boss if you set up your party correctly. Equip Yuri with the Flash Badge and equip Zhuzhen and Margarete each with a Leonardo's Bear to protect them from the boss' death attack. Fuse Yuri into a Darkness class demon and use your normal attack which should be powerful and frequent with the Flash Badge.

Boss: Yamarja: Stone HP: 1800 Class: Darkness Drop: R. Phoenix Talon Fuse Yuri and as always physical attacks work quite well, even more so if you cast Aqua Edge on him with Margarete. Have Zhuzhen cast Life Sucker if he has it. The boss will cast Illusion which raises his evade, but it probably won't have too much of an effect. His physical attacks are usually the most dangerous but since they only target one member just use an item. A good strategy is you just keep using defend with your weaker characters, it really lessens the damage from physical attacks and will save you having to heal later. ~*~ Enter the tower and save your game. Head up the stairs on your right. At the West side of this room you can find a Pure Extract on the ground. Just on your left at the top of the stairs is an object you can examine. Place the Black Tortoise on top. Enter the door on the right and follow the path to a chest containing B. Dragon VP. Return to the front hal. Run around the circle path in the middle to the right side and open the chest to find a Lottery Ticket. Enter the room to the Northwest. Examine the Northwest tea kettle to find the Erotic Book. Examine the pedestal to receive the R. Phoenix VP. Now replace it with the B. Dragon VP. Leave the room and head up the stairs on the left. Insert the R. Phoenix VP into the pedestal and enter the door. Open the chest to receive the W. Tiger VP. Return to the room Northwest of the main hall and replace the B. Dragon VP with the W. Tiger VP. In the main hall insert the B. Dragon VP into the centre pedestal and save your game. Go back up the left set of stairs where you found the W. Tiger VP. The stairs from that chest leading East are now open. Climb up and watch the scene. Boss: Badger Devil HP: 700 Class: Fire Drop: Seal of Luck I don't think you can possibly lose this fight, not only is his HP low and you can easily kill him with a quick transformation and physical attacks, if even that is too hard for you Margarete's Snipe skill is a one hit kill. You won't lose this battle. ~*~ Climb the stairs to continue the scene. Boss: Dehuai HP: 1700 Class: Fire Drop: Hermit's Staff Watch out for his Fast Ring attack, it's not too debilitating but ti's a good idea to cure it whenever you can using a Phoenix Tail. He's of the Fire class so a fusion with Margarete's Aqua Edge will dish out some serious damage. Have Zheuzhen act as the healer, have Margarete cast Aqua Edge on Yuri and herself, then focus on physical attacks, Grenade isn't too effective here. ~*~ When the scene ends form your party. The soldier on the right will change your party, he is also a lottery person. The other will sell you items. I recommend picking up three Mirror Bracelets and equipping them on your party, you'll need them. Climb the stairs up and save your game. Conitnue up and watch the scene. Boss: Yamaraja: Calamity HP: 2200 Class: N/A Drop: Fifth Key Hopefully you equipped those Mirror Bracelets because he uses petrify a lot. This boss has a lot of life, a lot of annoying status inflicting attacks, and some powerful all-party hitting spells. Definetely the hardest you've faced so far. Without an element class any fusion is fine, pick you favourite. Equip all the power enhancing accessories you have and use abilities like Life Drain and Snipe with your other two members, or healing if you're using Alice. Yuri will do fine with his attacks assuming he isn't petrified, but again that's why you bought those Mirror Bracelets. If anyone on the other hand gets silenced it's no too much to worry about unless they're your primary healer. ~*~ From here, watch the awesome cutscene. You'll have the option of saving your progress up to this point, do so. Choose Prague from the world map and watch the scene. ****************************************************************************** * II Full Walkthrough (Part 2) (FwBBB) * ****************************************************************************** o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o | II - i Prague (Fw00E) | o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o Item Checklist: Priest's Wine......._____ Time is Money Chainmail Vest...... 5500 Silk Bolero......... 5940 Studded Cap......... 1700 Face Guard.......... 3000 Western Belt........ 1700 Shell Bracelet...... 2770 Bone Bracelet....... 2960 RosewoodBracelet.... 3000 Bell Bracelet....... 3120 Mirror Bracelet..... 3240 Spikes.............. 2810 Leonardo's Bear..... 3330 Voodoo Doll......... 5200 Jade Lariat......... 5050 Brigand Earrings.... 5000 Pirate Earrings..... 5000 Thera Seed.......... 120 Thera Root.......... 300 Mana Seed........... 300 Mana Root........... 500 Pure Leaf........... 230 Pure Seed........... 510 TalismanOfLuck...... 480 TalismanOfMercy..... 820 Mermaid's Tear...... 70 Holy Mother Bust.... 75 Angel's Feather..... 80 Faerie's Sigh....... 85 Imp's Fang.......... 95 Phoenix Tail........ 90 Branze Arrowhead.... 100 Bronze Dagger....... 200 Silver Hourglass.... 100 Gold Hourglass...... 200 Tent................ 480 As Alice head North and save your game.

Leave the house and head West to the weapon shop and the save point. From here enter the mayor's house East of the save point, choose to break in. Boss: Tindalos HP: 2200 Class: Fire Drop: Iron Clogs This is a very straightforward boos, his attacks target single characters except one which is rather weak. Just leave Alice to healing duty and use Keith's and Zhuzhen's most powerful spells. SHouldn't take too long before the boss goes down. ~*~ After the fight go back and save your game. The person in the house North of Terry's shop runs a lottery. Return to the mayor's house and watch the scene. Open the chest on th left side of the house to receive a Flash Badge.

Boss: Yuri HP: 1500 Class: Darkness Drop: N/A Yuri begins the battle with only a single attack. A combo that targets one party member. Keep one person healing and the other two attacking, Alice's Blessed Light, Zhuzhen's Corpse Hand and Keith's attacks are all fine. Part way through the battle he'll transform and have access to some new attacks. The only real dangerous one can cause instant death so equip Leonardo's Bear on everyone. He doesn't have too much life so keep at it. ~*~ Immediately after you're transported to the graveyard. Once you wake up head West and approach the masks for a scene. When it ends proceed through the gate to the North and watch the next scene. Boss: Fox Face HP: 600 Class: Darkness Drop: Brass Knuckles Start by transforming into your most powerful fusion demon and letting loose some special attacks or combos. His normal attack is extremely weak, and his SP lower will only lower by 50% each time, but his !!! will leave you with exactly one HP, and even more annoying he sometimes uses it multiple turns in a row. Make sure you have a decent method of healing, then just attack. His HP is pitiful. ~*~ After the battle is a rather long scene. o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o | II - vi Blue Castle (Fw012) | o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o Item Checklist: None................ / Form you party, then leave the castle and head back to Prague.

You'll meet a man near the the top, watch the scene when you approach him. As Alice enter the washroom on the right and check the two stalls, following that examine the mirror. Go back into the stalls and examine the mirror again. Boss: Olga HP: 700 Class: Darkness Drop: Monk Earrings Despite only having Alice this is a rather easy fight, she's extremely susceptable to Alice's Blessed Light attack, which should deal around 150 damage and with only 700 HP the math isn't hard to do. Just make sure you heal whenever you get below 100 HP. Also keep an eye on your SP, don't let it deplete unnoticed. ~*~ After the fight form your party and get ready to depart. Leave the town, save your game, and select Rouen. o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o | II - viii Rouen (Fw014) | o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o Item Checklist: Lottery Ticket......_____ Huge Jug............_____ Lottery Ticket......_____ Watch the scene when you enter the town.

You'll find yourself in the graveyard now. Head West and speak to the masks. Leave the graveyard following the conversation. Enter the first door on the left, outside of the room. Go back and speak to Keith and Zhuzhen. Before leaving the inn you can find Meiyuan in the room at the bottom of the stairs. When you're back in the town head North down the alley and watch the scene. A battle occurs here against a couple of normal enemies. Another scene occurs following the battle. Leave the inn and head down the alley. Grab the Huge Jug on the way, as well as the Lottery Ticket where you met Bacon last time. Examine the door leading into the back of the church. You have to do a little ring game here, it's just like a normal ring but you have to repeat it three times in a row. Proceed into the church and watch the scene. Boss: Olga HP: 3000 Class: Darkness Drop: Small Jug Before the fight make sure Yuri is equipped with the Brass Knuckles, as well as some power enhancing accessories. If you're proficient enough at using the judgement ring I recommend the Mind's Eye accessory, add to this some upgrades from Meiyuan and Yuri will be a Powerhouse, dealing about 350 - 200 - 150 damage with each combo. Cast Alice's Holy Edge on him and you can increase this even more. Olga's most powerful attack is Black Fog, and she uses it often so I recommend putting Alice and whoever else you're using on healing duty for the whole battle, Yuri can take care of the offense, fuse him into the most powerful demon you have. ~*~ Exit to the world map and save your game, then select London and Old Castle Street, watch the scene when you enter. o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o | II - ix London - Old Castle Street (Fw015) | o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o Item Checklist: Sun Card............_____ Oak Slingshot......._____ Mana Extract........_____ Thera Extract......._____ Demon Earrings......_____ Lottery Ticket......_____ Soul Benediction...._____ Crucifix............_____ TalismanOfPurity...._____ Warning Device......_____ Seal of Fire........_____ Lottery Ticket......_____ Kirin Scale........._____ Tight-lipped Merchant Ever-Bible.......... 9800 Oracle's Staff...... 8600 SilverCrscntSwd..... 8300 RedLeatherJacket.... 8800 Jasper Cape......... 9200 Headgear............ 5400 Circlet............. 5800 Charming Pareo...... 5500 Loin Guard.......... 5200 Shell Bracelet...... 2770 Bone Bracelet....... 2960 RosewoodBracelet.... 3000 Bell Bracelet....... 3240 Mirror Bracelet..... 3240 Cosmic Bracelet..... 11,500 Spikes.............. 2810 Pocket Watch........ 5200 Will Power.......... 6000 Leonardo's Bear..... 3330 Voodoo Doll......... 5200 Jade Lariat......... 5050 Coral Lariat........ 5050 Thera Seed.......... 120 Thera Root.......... 300 Mana Seed........... 300 Mana Root........... 500 Pure Leaf........... 230 Pure Seed........... 510 TalismanOfMercy..... 820 TalismanOfWisdom.... 1280 TalismanOfPurity.... 1760 Soul Benediction.... 500 Bronze Arrowhead.... 100 Bronze Dagger....... 200 Silver Hourglass.... 100 Gold Hourglass...... 200 Tent................ 480 The first thing to note is the man on the left in the suit, speak to him to get the Sun Card.

Some events follow. Boss: Night Stalker HP: 2500 Class: Wind Drop: Kid's Room Key This boss has a somewhat dangerous normal attack, and a few stat bossting spells he casts on himself. However your offensive prowess should be more than enough, transform Yuri and start using all your physical's. Halley's Aqua Blade is very effective against the boss as well, your third party member can be the healer, but it's good if they have some attacking spells as well for the turns the boss doesn't attack. ~*~ Enter the room to the West and watch the scene, you'll receive the Guestroom Key. On the West side of the room is a Seal of Luck, Northwest a Pure Extract and North a Monkey Paw. Exit the room and go up the stairs into the room on th left.

Boss: Mammon HP: 3500 Class: Earth Drop: Demon Earrings The most dangerous thing about this boss is its ability to cause the petrify status ailment on your party. If you equipped Mirror Bracelets before the battle that's good, however you may find you need to rely on Alice's Wish spell to stay healthy. It'll come as no surprise that Yuri will be the powerhouse of this fight. Have Halley give Yuri's physical attack the air elemental property. The boss has the ability to heal itself once, by about 500 HP when it gets close to death. Stick with tactics that have worked up to this point, and just be sure to cure petrification the instant it occurs. Imp's Fang is that item you'll need to cure it. ~*~ When the fight is over watch the scene.

Boss: Rausan HP: 3500 Class: Fire Drop: Spade Key Halley's Aqua Blade is quite effective here, even after the boss uses the special defense up ability. Since it relies so much on it's special defense, having a physically powerful Yuri is going to really help here. Demon's Earrings, Mind's Eye, Belts etc equipped on him will only increase your chances for a win. Fuse Yuri and attack normally. If the boss silences one of your other characters be ready to cure it before any healing is necessary. ~*~ Watch the events that follow.

Boss: Olga HP: 4000 Class: Darkness Drop: Warlock Earrings It's time to fight Olga yet again, with more HP than previous encounters. The battle however remains the same, her most devastating attack is Black Fog. If you get poisoned, curing it probably isn't too high a priority, but be sure you don't let it get the best of one of your characters. Transform Yuri and have Alice cast Holy Edge on him. For Halley as usual Aqua Blade works fine. Alice's Gospel also may be helpful to reduce the damage taken from Black Fog. ~*~ Back in London head downstairs. Save your game. There's now a red board leading West to another abttle arena type thing you can check out if you wish. Be sure to speak to Joshua, he gives you the Oath Grail. Climb the ladder and leave the hideout.

Ascend the stairs and watch the scene. Boss: Albert HP: 3000 Class: Darkness Drop: N/A What makes Albert so hard is his ability to deal SP damage to your entire party at once with his Holy Chest attack. Fuse Yuri and have Alice cast Holy Edge on his since Albert is of the Darkness class. Holy elemental attacks, and any special magic from whatever characters you have in your party should be effective. If you're using another physical attacker don't hesitate to cast Holy Edge on them. Don't let him get the upper hand, it's hard to try and keep both HP and SP up at the same time. Try and have as much of both as possible before making the killing blow, because you won't have a chance to access the menu before... ~*~ Boss: Amon HP: 4000 Class: N/A Drop: Angel Earrings Amon is challenging but predictable, he really only sticks with two attacks. Onne that hits your whole party for 150 damage and another that hits one person for 300 damage so just keep your HP above the 300 level whenever you can. Stick with the same attacks that worked in the last battle but note he is non-elemental so any Holy Edged characters will revert back to normal damage. Watch your SP if it's still weak from the last fight and restore it whenever you get a chance, for the most part it's more important than HP. ~*~ Assuming you got the DestructionStone you'll receive the fusion Amon after the battle. Watch the events and cutscene that follows. There's a sidequest available now, you need to do it in order to get the good ending. Refer to the good ending subheading of the sidequest section. Return to the rats hideout and meet with Halley and Koudelka. Watch the scene here. Return to the Nemeton Monastery and speak with Bacon. If you did the good ending part with the masks, return to the section now. In the graveyard head West with Alice, you'll have to fight a boss you cannot defeat. Lose the battle and you are returned to Bacon's house. Speak to him now and do a Spin Ring 5. Watch the scene here. You can use the yellow spot to trasport out of Neameto. There are a number of sidequests you can do at this point in the game so I recommend checking them out. Refer to the sidequests section for more info. o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o | II - xvi Neameto (Fw01C) | o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o Item Checklist: Seal of Aura........_____ Lottery Ticket......_____ Brsrkr Earrings....._____ Crank Slignshot....._____ Seal of Vitality...._____ SilverThreadCoat...._____ Sage Staff.........._____ Rubber Suit........._____ Monk Earrings......._____ V-Blade-Blodauth...._____ Fifth Key..........._____ Go up and take the Northwest exit. Examine the red barrier, then return to the first room and take the Northeast exit. Watch the scene at the top. Select any character you wish to control and return to where the red barrier was. Go up the stairs, when you come to a fork examine the triangle on the wall. Run back to your party and join up. Head Northeast and follow the path to the top. Boss: Soul Block HP: 7000 Class: Light Drop: Monkey Paw This is yet another boss where physical attacks are completely out of the picture, only special attacks hurt him. If you have the Amon fusion now would be a good time to use it along with other characters' best spells, Halley's Black Hole also works great. You'll need to be able to hit the perfect mark as much as possible so using Bronze Daggers and Gold Hourglasses can really help. The boss is fairly weak so you probably won't have to heal every turn, use the turns you don't have to heal as a means to either deal more damage, or support you allies. ~*~ After the abttle three points will appear, you can either save, return to the surface, or change your party. Go Northwest and open the chest containing Seal of Aura, and down the curving path South is a Lottery Ticket. Go Northeast and open the chest to receive Brsrkr Earrings. Now at the Southeast, walking through the green beam will activate it. Return to the fork with the triangle and head West. Open the chest to receive Crank Slingshot. Return to the area with the save point and party symbols. You'll notice there are two staircases leading North, take the one on the right. At the fork go West and get the Seal of Vitality, then back at the fork go North to activate the blue light. Now return and take the East exit from the save point room. Follor the path and take the left fork, get the two chests in the room containing SilverThreadCoat and Sage Staff. On your way back take the right fork and activate the red light. Now return and save your game. Of the two North staircases, this time take the one on the left. At the top take the East branch and get the two chests containing Rubber Suit and Monk Earrings. Back on the path head Northwest. Boss: Hate HP: 7000 Class: Darkness Drop: Seventh Key Transform Yuri into your most powerful fusion monster and have Alice cast Holy Edge on him to really pump up the damage. You're going to need Crucifix's, Zodiac Bracelets and Pocket Watches to win this fight, Hate's Black Fog can inflict all sorts of negative status effects including invisible ring. Anything of the Light element is effective but you're not just limited to that. Compared to Soul Block really, this guy is a step down. ~*~ After the fight another three points appear, be sure to save your game. Go North until you are warped to another area. When you have control again go South and get warped. Head North, then East to be warped. Go up the stairs to the next room, head down the stairs, then up the stairs. You'll notice there is another set of stairs leading up on the left but don't take them, instead follow the path as it curves around to the right at you'll be teleported at the very end. Get the chest containing TalismanOfPower proceed West. Climb the stairs and get the chest containing V-blade-Blodauth. Keep going up and you'll be teleported in front of the chest containing Fifth Key. Head West from the chest to be teleported, then go up the stars and confront... Boss: Scapegoat HP: 7000 Class: Wind Drop: Crucifix Before the battle you'll want to equip some Leonardo's Bears to protect from all his death attacks, he also has a powerful attack that can damage your entire party for quite a bit of damage. Alice's Arc spell will be a lifesaver here. You may want to equip the Lazurite Ring on someone, it'll half the damage of one of his attacks. Otherwise stick to whatever works best nromally, and keep in mind his weakness is Earth. ~*~ After the fight save your game, this is your last chance. Make any last minute preparations you need before heading North. Watch the scene. Boss: Messiah HP: 8000 Class: Wind Drop: Crucifix There's a number of preparations first, for accessories you'll need Crucifix's and any items that lower your SP drain rate, or raise your max SP. In battle the boss has a number of attacks, normal attack and !!! are what you will be hoping for every turn, also his Status Abnormality attack is weak when you have the Cricifix's equipped. Holy Chest is what he will use often, and it's the last thing you want. You'll be spending the entire battle trying to keep your SP from reaching 0 while still trying to heal, again wihtout Alice's Arc there just aren't enough turns to stay alive. The boss has no element, everything is effective. I recommend fusing Yuri and just using physical attacks, but if that doesn't work for you you can combine Special Attacks from everyone to start piling on the damage. ~*~ The next battle does not begin immediately, however there is onl ya short scene before... Boss: Meta God HP: 12,000 Class: N/A Drop: N/A If you don't have Cricifix's on everyone you've got a serious problem here. There's a seriously simple way of winning this fight assuming you haven't squandered all your items up to this point. Fuse Yuri into a pretty much any fusion to boost his attack then use a Silver Fang to bring his hit ring up to 100%. Now on someone else's turn use a B. Daron Fang to double everyone attack at the expense of half a ring. Now when it's back to Yuri select the Seventh Ring from your inventory and use it on the boss. You now have up to seven spins, which will deal double damage with each hit, and you can't miss. As long as you hit the button three times per spin you will hit the boss 21 times for double damage, if you happen to have the Mind's Eye equipped that's 21 hits for quadruple damage, obviously you can imagine how hard the fight is from here. Continue to use all the items you've accumulated through the game, Fifth Keys work just as great. As for staying alive you'll need Thera Extracts which can be purchased from the Silent Peddler for every 100 steps on the Peodmeter. The boss can drain your HP and MP, if you're using Yuri to physically attack that doesn't matter, but always be ready to use a Mana Root on Alice, as well as seeds on everyone if their SP gets too low. Virtually every one of the boss' abyss attacks will inflict a negative status ailment, and if you're not protected you've got a serious problem. Don't hesitate to try and be offensive at every possible oppurtunity. With 12,000 HP it's going to take awhile to drain. ~*~ Now sit back and enjoy the ending. You beat the game. Good job! d--(o_O)--b ****************************************************************************** * Sidequests (Sq000) * ****************************************************************************** o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o | Kowloon Fortress (Sq001) | o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o Item Checklist: Mana Root..........._____ Wugai Room Key......_____ Face Guard.........._____ Seal of the Soul...._____ Thera Root.........._____ Pure Root..........._____ Soul Benediction...._____ Tight-lipped Merchant Leather Cap......... 600 Studded Cap......... 1700 Casual Belt......... 600 Western Belt........ 1700 Zodiac Bracelet..... 10,300 Cosmic Bracelet..... 11,500 Spikes.............. 2810 Leonardo's Bear..... 3330 Voodoo Doll......... 5200 Thera Leaf.......... 50 Thera Seed.......... 120 Mana Leaf........... 100 Mana Seed........... 300 Pure Leaf........... 230 Pure Seed........... 510 TalismanOfLuck...... 480 TalismanOfMercy..... 820 TalismanOfWisdom.... 1280 Mermaid's Tear...... 70 Holy Mother Bust.... 75 Angel's Feather..... 80 Faerie's Sigh....... 85 Imp's Fang.......... 95 Phoenix Tail........ 90 Branze Arrowhead.... 100 Bronze Dagger....... 200 Silver Hourglass.... 100 Gold Hourglass...... 200 Tent................ 480 Afer the scene with Alice where you chose the first option all three times, as Yuri leave the area and return to Huayuan. Head down to the boat and choose to set sail for Kowloon Fortress. There's a Silent Peddler on the left side who will sell you some supplies. On the right there is alottery member, you can win the Mind's Eye if you're good enough. Enter the Fortress to the North. Open the chest to the left of the stairs to receive Mana Root. Proceed forward and head up the stairs to the East. Continue through the door leading East. On the table at the bottom you will find the Wugai Room Key. There's a ladder o nthe right side of the room you can climb, go up and get the Face Guard from the chest. Return to the main path and head North, then take the West set of stairs up. Head West, go up the stairs and enter the door. On the left side of the room is a Seal of the Soul. Leave the room and open the chest to the Southeast containing Thera Root. Head up the stairs and get the chest containing Pure Root. Keep going until you reach another chest across the bridge with a Soul Benediction inside. Go up the stairs and save your game. Choose to enter the door on your right and watch the scene. Boss: Cursed Puppet HP: 900 Class: Darkness Drop: Seal of Wisdom Similar to all other fights against Wugai you cannot use special attacks on him, so focus Yuri's most powerful attacks, as well as Margarete's and use Zhuzhen as the healer along with Largarete if you need it. Make sure you have Leonardo's Bears equipped to protect from his death attacks. I was able to kill this boss in about 60 seconds, however the same tactic may not work for you. With the Flash Badge and Mind's Eye equipped the meter moves twice as fast and you can't see the hit areas, but the damage is so substantial and you get so many turns that even a miss or two doesn't matter much in the grand scheme of things. With his normal equipment slightly upgraded Yuri was dealing 130 - 60 - 60 damage with his darkness transformation. This however is not the only tactics that will work, simply using everyone's physical attacks equally and healing when necessary should be enough. ~*~ Leave the fortress and return to Kuihai Tower. o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o | Good Ending (Sq002) | o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o Item Checklist: None................ / In order to get the good ending you must do the following. First of all check your menu, you'll see somehting at the lower right that represents you "Malice" and is of a certain colour. This will progress toward red the more battles you fight, and can be returned to normal at the graveyard. Allow it to hit red by continuing to fight random battles. Now once it's red you will start getting into random battles with masks. It is of the utmost important however that you only defeat certain ones. The four masks must be defeated in a specific order which can be seen by examining the Oath Grail in your valuables. The order is Grail, Gold, Staff and Sword. If you get into any fights against a mask other than Grail, run away. Once you've defeated Grail run from any battles other than Gold etc. Do this until you have defeated the four masks in that order. You must continue the game at this point, go back to London and then returning to Bacon's house. You'll soon find yourself in the graveyard. Go South and examine the small tombstone, it should say it is the grave of Alice. When you head West and appraoch the masks you should fight a boss, and Yuri will appear. Many people have had problems getting this to actually occur so if you know the exact specifications, please feel free to let me know. Defeat the boss with Yuri and Alice, then watch the scene, the good ending will now be flagged. o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o | Codex of Lurie (Sq003) | o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o Item Checklist: Codex of Lurie......_____ Go North from Bacon's house down into the ruins of Nemeton. In the exact centre of the circle where you fought Albert and Amon is the Codex of Lurie. o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o | Book of Rituals (Sq004) | o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o Item Checklist: Book of Rituals....._____ Put Alice and Zhuzhen in your party. Go to Nemeton Monastery and head North to trigger a scene. You will receive the Book of Rituals. Go to the world map and read the book to open up a new area. o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o | Emirge Manuscript (Sq005) | o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o Item Checklist: EmirgeManuscript...._____ Enter the orphanage and go into the door straight North. Talk to the little boy and agree to play with him. The four kids will scatter, I've never seen more than one per room, one each in the two rooms on the upper floor, one in the main hall and one in the kid's room. Once you complete the task you are given access to the back of the room. Climb the stairs up to the pot and the person inside will give you the EmirgeManuscript. o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o | Ultimate Weapons (Sq006) | o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o Item Checklist: CoatOfTheAdept......_____ Nightbird Claw......_____ 10 Gauge............_____ At the end of the game you can go visit Meiyuan in Rouen inn. When you first speak to him you'll be treated to a scene. Afterwards you get the CoatOfTheAdept. o------o | Yuri | o------o This is quite simple, return to Roger Bacon's house and speak with him after getting the Codex of Lurie. He will tell you about a new experiment and then you will have to do a Spin Ring 10. I had never done it before, and got it on my first try, but of course that's just to brag, I can imagine this getting quite frustrating. Regardless if you accomplish it, a scene follows and you receive the Nightbird Claw. o-------o | Alice | o-------o See section for Dollhouse. o---------o | Zhuzhen | o---------o See section for Cave Temple. o-----------o | Margarete | o-----------o 10 gauge found in Rouen. Please feel free to email me the exact specifications to make the fighting couple appear in the inn in Rouen because on my current file I cannot get it to occur. You should be able to get Margarete and bring her into the church in Rouen to get this weapon. o-------o | Keith | o-------o See section for Blue Castle. o--------o | Halley | o--------o See section for Ancient Ruins. o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o | Dollhouse (Sq007) | o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o Item Checklist: Air Gravestone......_____ Crank..............._____ Lottery Ticket......_____ Storeroom Key......._____ Oracle Earrings....._____ Silver Hand........._____ Slide Plate........._____ Holy Book-Flesh....._____ Put Alice into your party and head to Prague. Go into the bar and speak to the owner, he'll tell you to get someone from the bathroom. Go into it and examine the door. When you try and leave the bar the man comes out and gives you the Air Gravestone. Leave Prague and return to the world map. Go back into Prage and head back to the bar. There's a new man standing in the middle speak to him, his name is Ewan. Return to the world map, save your gae, and select the Dollhouse. Go in through the front door and examine the lower left corner to find Crank. Enter the room to the East. Examine the table against the lower wall to receive Lottery Ticket then exit North. Examine all around the fountain and you'll find a key. You need to do a Push Ring in order to grab it however. Not too hard, you're a lot more likely to overshoot than undershoot. When you do it you get the Storeroom Key as a reward. The storeroom is located on the left side of the house, you have to go back out the front entrance to reach it. Before entering be sure to get the Oracle Earrings on the ground right below. In the room turn on the generator beside the door. Check out the tool rack to receive Silver Hand and then descend the ladder. Examine the wine bottles here to receive the Slide Plate. Go back to the main part of the house. Climb the stairs and put the Slide Plate itno the projector on the table. The date on the slide is a code akin to the ones in the orphanage. Go downstairs and enter the East door, the fireplace has a code input. The password here is of course 1224. Leave the room and save your game, to return to the storeroom and climb down the ladder. The door leading Northeast will take you to a door that was previously blocked. Go inside, examine everything then try to leave. Boss: Orb Chaos HP: 7500 Class: Holy Drop: Holy Book-Flesh What you have here is an extremely diffucult boss with a load of HP. Before battle you absolutely need to equip something with protection against Paralysis for everyone, the boss will paralyze them all with one attack. Fuse Yuri into Amon if you got it, other any demon with some good physical attack power and get your combos off. Have Alice use Arc and keep you last party members as a hybrid healer and attacker. Yuri's SP will probably need to be healed early if you used Amon. You'll need to survive awhile here to deplete all that HP, however lucky for you the boss will waste many of its turns boosting up it's stats, then a few turns later they'll all wear of and it'll have to cast them all again. Use these oppurtunities to heal, and prepare for the next attack. Try defending with your less useful characters if they have nothing to do for the moment to better prepare for the next attack. ~*~ You get Alice's weapon, the Holy Book-Flesh for winning the battle. Return to the bar and examine the spot where Ewan was standing... o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o | Blue Castle (Sq008) | o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o Item Checklist: Earth Gravestone...._____ DemonSwd-Tyrving...._____ Put Keith in your party. Return to Terry's shop in Bistritz. Nina will be standing outside, she'll tell you of a plant she had and found something with it, then she proceeds to give you the Earth Gravestone. Leave Bistritz and come back in, now Nina is inside her house. Speak to her in there and she'll give Keith some new information. You next destination is the Blue Castle. Go inside the castle and save your game. Head down to the basement and approach the centre coffin. A conversation will begin here and a fight will trigger. Boss: Golden Bat HP: 1200 Class: N/A Drop: DemonSwd-Tyrving Here's an extremely easy battle, all you have to do is deal 1200 damage in five turns, just normal attacks will be perfectly fine. If you want to make this even easier and you are proficient with the positions of Keith's ring, simply equip the Mind's Eye and waste the bat. ~*~ For winning the fight you get to keep the DemonSwd-Tyrving. o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o | Ancient Ruins (Sq009) | o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o Item Checklist: Angel Earrings......_____ GoldThreadCoat......_____ Volt Snipe.........._____ Using the Book of Rituals on the world map to display the Ancient Ruins. Proceed North into the ruins and save. Continue North and open the chest containing Angel Earrings. Go down the path marked by the red flame. At the next fork go down the path marked by the orange flame, the yellow, then green, then light blue, then blue, then purple. Doing so drains the water from the pool at the beginning and lets you out right there. Go down the stairs and get the chest containing GoldThreadCoat. Leave the Ancient Ruins, on the world map examine the Book of Rituals and something will change. Return to the ruins and save your game. Now head North and traverse the labyrinth in the opposite order as before, go purple, then blue, then light blue, then green, then yellow, then orange, then red. Once again the pool drains. Save you game and descend. Boss: Seraphim HP: 4000 Class: N/A Drop: Volt Snipe You're going to need protection from petrification before this battle for sure. He has an attack that can petrify your entire party at once and his attacks are powerful, but his HP is very low. As always if you've reached this point in the game, you've certainly got a system down. There's never been a better time to use it, Alice's Arc will really help since he can really drain your entire party. Otherwise it's a matter of fusing and wasting. ~*~ For winning the battle you get Halley's ultimate weapon, the Volt Snipe. o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o | Cave Temple (Sq00A) | o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o Item Checklist: Priest Earrings....._____ Mant.OfShivering...._____ Fifth Key..........._____ Key to Success......_____ Holy Peak Staff....._____ Once you've got the EmirgeManuscript from the orphanage, examine it in your valuables list and it will appear in the London area. Enter the temple and examine the map on the wall. This place is very similar to the Ancient Ruins as it has a particular labyrinth like setup. Head through the Northeast door, then North. Open the chest containing Priest Earrings then go back to the fork. Head West, North, West, South, South, West, North (get the chest containing Lottery Ticket.) Leave the room and go West, North, West. Save your game here. Go North and get the Mant.OfShivering. Leave the cave and return to the world map. Examine the EmirgeManuscript once again and return to the cave. Head Northeast through the doors, then North and get the Fifth Key. Head East, North, East, South, South, East, North and get the chest containing Key to Success. Leave the room and proceed East, North, East and save. Boss: Cherubim HP: 10,000 Class: N/A Drop: Holy Peak Staff Before the battle be sure to equip lots of items with statuc protection like Crucifix etc. Also on Yuri you'll want a Mind's Eye, Demon Earrings, Belt of Power, and anything else to boost his physical attack. Only physical attacks can hurt this boss so that'swhat you'll have to do. I recommend using Yuri as you mass damage dealer and making your other two characters support in the back row. If you've been saving any special damage boosting ring items now's a good time to use them. Alice's Arc, Resurrection and Wish will all come in handy, as for a third member it's really just a matter of who else can take the most punishment. It's a long battle, when choosing accessories, ones that boost SP or retain it like Huge Jug work great. ~*~ After the fight you get the Holy Peak Staff, Zhuzhen's best weapon. o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o | Final Fusion (Sq00B) | o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o Item Checklist: Stone of Rebirth...._____ Once you have completed the Ancient Ruins, Cave Temple gotten the Codex of Lurie, and received the Amon fusion, go to the world map and examine the Erotic Book. Select Nemeton and speak with Roger Bacon afterwards. Exhange the Erotic Book for the Pulse Tract and go back to the world map. Read the Pulse Tract in your inventory and select the Ancient Ruins. Enter the ruins and go North, in accordance with the specifications given by the pulse tract take the following paths, Yellow, then red, then green, then purple, then blue, then red, then light blue. You'll return to the beginning and the pool will drain. Go down and open the chest to receive Stone of Rebirth. Return to the map and examine the Stone, then save your game. Select the graveyard and head North through the gate. You must have every fusion in the game up to this point to trigger the event. Assuming you do and you examined the Stone of Rebirth, a scene will occur. Boss: Ben Hyuga HP: 2000 Class: N/A Drop: Volt Snipe Straightforward battle, precursor to what follows. ~*~ Boss: Seraphic Radiance HP: 5000 Class: N/A Drop: Diamond Ring Now would be a good time to utilize any items you've been saving. Use the Amon fusion, Mind's Eye accessory and a couple others that will help you survive a brutal onslaught, and start pounding him. If you use a silver fang and double or triple your attack power it's going to help, but you can't be too offensive. After fusing into Amon make sure your HP and Sp are at maximum. If your level is lower than 50 that could also be a problem ,I reocmmend training until you reach that point. It's going to take some skill and ring proficiency to win this one. ~*~ After the fight you get the Seraphic Radiance fusion and a scene. ****************************************************************************** * Legal (Fw048) * ****************************************************************************** This guide is copyright (c)2004 Alex Eagleson because I wrote it.
