SUMMONER

I. DISCLAIMER -- Basic disclaimer and such. You can look through this
and hopefully the information provided can be of some use. There will
probably more faqs coming along with more in-depth stuff in it than
this one. Time is short so please don't e-mail me about questions
pertaining to the game. I don't have a good memory of things and more
than likely I won't be able to remember what I did to kill X boss. I'm
still new at writing these things so bear with me. Happy Summoning.
II. CAST
Joseph -- Born with the power to summon forth beings from another
dimension, he is the main character in the game. He will be the Jack-
of-all-trades character that you will play. You can train him in a
large variety of weaponry as well as good defensive magics. His most
unique power is the ability to summon monsters to fight for him in
combat. Be cautious when summoning monsters. Every time you use such
power, Joseph's total HP will go down. This greatly shortens his life.
The good news is that Joseph can gain it back when either you leave the
combat space (ie. from random encounters) or unsumming the creatures.
Keep a good eye on the summoned creatures. If it dies during combat,
Joseph will permanantly lose the HPs.
TIPS: Joseph may be the Jack-of-all-trades, but I used him like a
warrior through most of the game. He's skilled in many different types
of weaponry, but I tended to use the sword the most. To match his
combat abilities, Joseph can equip very powerful armors as well.
Combat wise he's a formidable warrior to be reckoned with. Don't lax
on his spell casting abilities either. He learns the ever important
Heal line of spells as well as the defensive Holy spells. Even though
you have a lot of HPs doesn't mean you can hack everything into pieces
and come out without a scratch. Healing spells will be used a lot
during the game.
Flece -- Stealth, secrets, assasin, thief, she is all this and much
more. With the ability to hide, sneak, and pick lock, she will be
invaluable to the party. Being a thief does have it's downfall. She
does not have very many HPs so battles will be treacherous. She also
lacks in the magic department, although she learns Dark spells very
late in her career to be much use.
TIPS: First and foremost, Flece is a thief, use her that way. Use her
in reconnaissance missions to learn the layout of the area before
tackling on the monsters within. Make sure she learns Sneak and Hide
to accomplish this mission. Another skill to improve for her would be
the Appraise skill. You may not think that this skill is very useful,
but you are dead wrong. Without this skill, many of the high end
weapons and armor will be unidentified and be totally useless. Max
this skill out early in the game so you'll be able to take advantage of
it. During combat, I found that backstab is pretty much useless. Sure
it works wonders when it hits, but most of the time I wasted lots of AP
healing her. Monsters seem to go for the ones either closest to them
or the one with few HP. To counter this, Bow weapons are very handy
indeed.
Rosalind -- Daughter of Yago with an innate ability to manipulate
magical energy she is a powerful yet frail member of the party. Her
spellcasting ability surpasses that of Jospeh, but she cannot summon
creatures. Instead she has a wide array of both defensive and
offensive spells at her command. Due to her affinity for magic, she
cannot wear very much armor. As with many pure spellcasters, heavy
armor disrupts the magical fields when spells are being cast.
TIPS: As with lots of mages throughout many games, do not try to
combat hand to hand. Sure you can do it for a little bit, but it is
more advantageous to fight from afar. Throughout the game, she has
command over a vast amount of magic. Heal will be the most important
one to keep the party healthy and happy. Holy magic can do just as
much, but you would want to save those AP for damage spells since
Joseph can use Holy as well. AP will go down very quickly when using
spells. Best way to conserve those points would be to attack from afar
using a bow weapon. Even though she doesn't do much damage with the
bow, she has magic to back her up.
Jekhar -- Once a friend of Joseph, now just a bodyguard by the order of
the King, Jekhar is a strong warrior to have around. Right from the
start you know yo have the making of a tank when you see his HP. He
can take a beating and keeps on slicing. Not only can he slice and
dice, he can also take it like a man. Many heavy duty armors are
available to him to absorb all those punishing blows.
TIPS: Jekhar can use any and all the weapons in the game, but the most
useful ones are the swords. Axes may be tempting with their large
damage, but I found it difficult to chain attacks with them. It's just
a personal taste whether or not you like weapons of mass destruction.
Concentrate skills on a couple of weapons as well as Heavy Arms.
You'll need Heavy Arms skill in order to equip all those godly armor.
It's obvious that he will do the gruntwork in fighting so keep him well
healed and covered with protective magic like Bless to keep him going.
III. BATTLE SYSTEM
The basics of the battle system is covered in the instruction manual.
Tips for battle is simple...chain, chain and chain. In order to leave
a battle relativly unscathed, you must master the chain attacks. It
may be deceptively simple, but takes a bit to master. Not only do you
have to figure out which chain you are going to use, but the type of
weapon is very important. The faster the weapon that you have
equipped, the more times you swing. This in turn means that you have
more opportunities to perform a chain attack. Be careful when
switching to a high damage slow swing weapon. More often than not, the
slowness of the weapon you are using will throw off your timing and
miss the chain attack.
IV. WALK THROUGH
Still reading over my notes...Come back later....
V. EQUIPMENT
ARMORS: There are many varieties of armor scattered throughout the
land. Many can be purchased in towns or from merchants that dot the
landscape. There are some powerful armor which can only be found by
solving the mini-quests which are presented to you. Take note that not
everyone can equip all the protection gear. To top it off, your
character must meet skill requirements in order to equip some of these
equipment.. (NOTE: The price listed is the price needed to BUY the
item even though some cannot be bought. The sell back price is roughly
2/3 of the buy price.)

the ability to boost combat skills as well as enhance magical prowess.
Due to the powerful nature of such jewelry, each character may only

Summoner can only use. These rings allow him to call forth dangerous
and powerful being to fight for him.
