II. TH' BASICS [THBS]
_______________________________________________________________________________
�������������������������������������������������������������������������������
This is the repository for information on the game's aspects. Most stuff in
here should be internalized to a degree so you get a good feel for the game.
_____________________________________________________________________
���������������������������������������������������������������������
Characters [CHRC]
_____________________________________________________________________
���������������������������������������������������������������������
----
ALEC
----
Alec's entire family was wiped out in the Great Disaster. And, had it not
been for the kind hand of a heroic Hunter, Alec surely would have perished
as well. Rushed away from the fire that would eventually consume his city,
he was transported to the Isle of Eteru, where he began a new life in Sasha
Village with many other refugees. One of those refugees was a boy named
Lutz, who became Alec's best friend and confidant. Alec will tell his desire
to become a Hunter to anyone who will listen. One day, when the village is
attacked by bandits, the door to that opportunity opens...
----
LUTZ
----
Lutz is a charming, earnest young man who speaks before he thinks more often
than not. He would lke to think himself quite the ladies' man, but his
hyperactive nature and complete ignorance of etiquette invariably cause all
women he approaches to run away screaming. However, there is one very
significant woman in Lutz's life -- his beloved sister. Having survived the
Great Disaster that claimed their parents, Lutz and his sister Kuretta have
ane specially close relationship.
----
THEO
----
Theo's mother was a legendary Cardist who disappeared mysteriously, shortly
after he was born. Possessing an earnest manner, and eager to get along with
others, Theo is well-liked by all. His dream is to become a Cardist like his
mother. Though he won't admit it, he secretly hopes joining Alec and his
travels will result in a reunion with her.
------
CHERYL
------
Cheryl has lived most of her life on the mean streets of Gislem, hustling
and fighting her way through a rough life. Fiercly independent and extremely
competitive, she is disappointed with anything less than a first-place finish
in competition. She has extensive knowledge of weapons, and an especially
deep understanding of firearms. Her dream is to build the ultimate firearm,
using the new field of synthesis pioneered at the Weapon Society. Having
lived a hard life, she trusts no one but herself and her gut. Alec's arrival
may change all that...
------
MARSIA
------
Marsia lives in the school village of Rusaht, researching the art of Natural
Spells at the Spell Institute. Having spent a considerable amount of time in
spell studies, she is lacking in social skills. Gifted with an analytical
mind and a calm nature, she can accomplish anything she sets out to do, given
enough time.
-------
VELHART
-------
Velhart is a master swordsman who lives in a mountain cabin in the land of
Palte [sic] with his brother. Because of his amazing skill with all manner
of blades, Velhart's name is known around the world. However, any kind of
inflated ego is refreshingly undetectable. He spends most of his day in
training, rarely engaging in conversation with others. Only when th
conversation turns to his brother does Velhart demonstrate any emotion at
all.
--------
ANRIETTA
--------
Anrietta Rochefort is the spoiled-rotten daughter of a business tycoon, and
lives in Paltos. After meeting Alec on a job, she repeatedly calls him back
for menial or stupid tasks, developing a crush on him in the meantime. She's
the game's secret character that can be obtained through the job system, if
you play the cards right...

STATUS EFFECTS [STTS]
_____________________________________________________________________
���������������������������������������������������������������������
Status effects are abnormalities that cause trouble for the allies, whether
they prevent some commands from being used or simply prolong the battle.
Unlike other RPGs, there are only a few bad ones to watch out for. NOTE:
all abnormalities can be inflicted on enemies as well.
.-----------.----------------------------------------------------------------.
| SLEEP | Character falls asleep and cannot act in battle. Attacking the |
| | unit with magic does not wake it, but physical attacks will. |
|-----------+----------------------------------------------------------------|
| GRAVITY | Similar to the "Don't Move" status in Final Fantasy Tactics, a |
| | unit inflicted with this is unable to move when it's his/her |
| | turn to act. |
|-----------+----------------------------------------------------------------|
| SILENT | Those inflicted with this status cannot use their skills, and |
| | for Theo, he cannot use his skills OR Summon command. |
|-----------+----------------------------------------------------------------|
| PARALYSIS | Units hit with paralysis cannot take action, and don't recover |
| | for awhile. Attacks do not knock them out of this status, and |
| | that's why it's GREAT to inflict on enemies. |
|-----------+----------------------------------------------------------------|
| CONFUSION | Units will attack and use skills indiscriminately, attacking a |
| | friend or foe with as much gusto. Physical attacks'll remove |
| | this status. |
|-----------+----------------------------------------------------------------|
| HEMO-JI | Those inflicted with a hemo-ji status cannot use skills or the |
| | Item command (or Summon command for Theo). Strength will lower |
| | but from what I've seen, defense may actually RISE... |
|-----------+----------------------------------------------------------------|
| POISON | Units will lose HP each time their turn comes up. |

III. WALKTHROUGH [WLKT]
_______________________________________________________________________________
�������������������������������������������������������������������������������
01) Sasha Village [WK01]
_______________________________________________________________________________
�������������������������������������������������������������������������������
Although this is the beginning of the game, there isn't much to do here. The
setting is that Elc and Lutz, two friends, see
o---------------------------o the town get taken over by bandits. After they
| ITEM CHECKLIST | get confined to a house, they manage to escape
o---------------------------o at their elder's bidding to get help in the
| _ | neighboring town of Itio.
| |_| Bounty Money |
| |_| Herbs [x5] | The [BOUNTY MONEY] and [HERBS] are received as
| |_| Battle Manual | a parting aid, as well as a Battle Manual that
'---------------------------' will help...in battle. Surprise, huh?
Save in the upper-right corner of the room and exit the house and town. On
the world map, head south and try to cross the stream.
_______________________________________________________________________________
�������������������������������������������������������������������������������
02) Tohde Bridge [WK02]
_______________________________________________________________________________
�������������������������������������������������������������������������������
Using the battle primer, you can look up a few subjects that'll help in the
first battle (Movement, Attacks, Commands, End Turn). If you're familiar with
any previous Arc the Lad games, there's not much to learn.
.----------------.---------.---------.----------.----------.------------------.
| Lv. 01 Opossum | HP: 18 | MP: 08 | ATK: 24 | DEF: 5 | DIFFICULTY: 1/10 |
'----------------'---------'---------'----------'----------'------------------'
There isn't much to do here, because even if you rush in recklessly and let
the enemy get the first strike, if they attack from close-range there's a
chance the ally will counter. They only have 18 HP, after all. Their close-
-up physical attack can do about 14 and their Seed Spray attack does single
digits. One good thing is that attacking even once here will result in an
easy level-up. Attacking from behind or the side is best for inflicting the
best damage, remember. At LV2, Alec learns Cure and Lutz learns Knife Rain,
so there's no reason this should result in a game over.
You end up back on the world map afterwards, but can spend time fighting the
ugly hordes at Tohde, or jet straight for Itio.
_______________________________________________________________________________
�������������������������������������������������������������������������������
03) Itio [WK03]
_______________________________________________________________________________
�������������������������������������������������������������������������������
STORE: [SH01]
This is a large town, yo. If you head straight east through and enter the
joint with the wooden door, you can find the shop. It sells items, weapons,
and armor -- all rather bad, but better than the 'nothing' you have equipped,
yeah?
The guild is located NW corner of town, if you don't feel like asking anyone
for directions. A man named Leegle will accept the job and everyone heads
right back to the village automatically.
o---------------------------o After some events where the robbers end up
| ITEM CHECKLIST | getting bushwhacked, return to Alec's place to
o---------------------------o sleep off the burn. After a nap, visit Lutz'
| _ | house next door to find Leegle's went for a
| |_| Magic Apple | walk. He's in the NE part of town by the creek,
| |_| Recovery Tonic | and suggets Alec try out the Itio Guild's test
'---------------------------' to become a Hunter.
As he leaves, he tosses Alec a [MAGIC APPLE]. When the crowd disperses, veer
north to the berry field and talk to the chief, who'll want Alec to help Lutz
pick some num-nums. Too bad both have thoughts of skipping town. Talk to the
elder at his house again and he'll open the gate after some dialogue. Kuretta
gives Lutz a [RECOVERY TONIC] for the journey. Time to split back to Itio!
It's a good idea to level-up a bit at Lukae Riverbank before coming here. At
LV5, Alec can learn Force Ring which may be useful later. Try to get at least
a Leather Armor for each character (120g) which will help their defense. Make
sure to rest/save at the inn before going to the guild HQ, also!
---
After some heckling, the guildmaster lets Alec have a shot at doing a 'baby
job'. If he does it perfectly, he can become a Hunter. Talk to him behind the
booth and accept the first job. It's to retrieve a fragment of the Ghost Dream
Crystal from the Trial Cave, northeast of Tohde Bridge. Make sure to rest at
the inn if you didn't already.

Make sure you have all the supplies you need (equipment, Herbs) before setting
foot into here, 'cause you can't leave once you go in. Two screens in behind
the waterfall, there's a stall battle.
.------------------.--------.--------.----------.----------.------------------.
| Lv. 5 Slime | HP: 15 | MP: 0 | ATK: 30 | DEF: 10 | DIFFICULTY: 2/10 |
| Lv. 2 Cave Bat | HP: 15 | MP: 0 | ATK: 30 | DEF: 5 |------------------'
| Lv. 5 Sidewinder | HP: 26 | MP: 0 | ATK: 30 | DEF: 6 |
'------------------'--------'--------'----------'----------'
If your characters are LV5+, this will be gravy. Take out the slime and cave
bats (two each) first since they'll go down in one hit, and tango with the
Sidewinder snake when it nears. It can do a bit of damage, but nothing that
Cure can't smooth over. Use the various rocks and obstacles to prevent foes
from flanking you or snippin' at your aft side. Cave Bats heal themselves if
they land an attack (~10 HP), so don't let 'em wander around ciphoning health.
After battle, take the east enemy-less passage to two treasure chests. One's
got an [IRON KNIFE] and the other contains an [HERB]. Note that you'll have to
fight the same enemy group above once more, this time from the eastern side of
the room! Continue north from that first fork and get the [PALO NUT] stuck in
a rocky chest. This leads to a second battlesite.
.------------------.--------.--------.----------.----------.------------------.
| Lv. 2 Cave Bat | HP: 15 | MP: 0 | ATK: 30 | DEF: 5 | DIFFICULTY: 2/10 |
| Lv. 5 Sidewinder | HP: 26 | MP: 0 | ATK: 30 | DEF: 6 |------------------'
'------------------'--------'--------'----------'----------'
Two of each this time, with the Sidewinders nearest. One long-range attack of
throwing knives lets Alec finish 'em off, so there's no xtreme strategy one's
to employ here. You can probably finish off the cave bats with a single
counterattack. Just defend the first turn (idle) and don't bother advancing to
the southern portion of the room because stalagmites and such block the clear
path. One weird thing I noticed is that if a cave bat absorbs HP and someone
counters it, even if it should be dead, that HP it absorbed keeps it alive...
Heal up and continue south to the Trial Cave's B2-A floor.
.------------------.--------.--------.----------.----------.------------------.
| Lv. 2 Cave Bat | HP: 15 | MP: 0 | ATK: 30 | DEF: 5 | DIFFICULTY: 1/10 |
| Lv. 5 Sidewinder | HP: 26 | MP: 0 | ATK: 30 | DEF: 6 |------------------'
'------------------'--------'--------'----------'----------'
Same as before except with one less Sidewinder. Take that out first and bash
some skulls on the bats. It's easy fights like that make me not want to stick
in a strategy...
Continue north to an west/east fork. Go east first and into the room with the
large pit in the middle. Get an [IRON SPEAR] for your troubles and continue
north until another fork is found. Continue east into a room with four chests!
Two [SHIMMER STONE]s, a [FALCON STATUE], and a [PALO NUT] can be found within.
Back at the fork, take the other one that curves north and back west. This'll
lead to a room with two savepoints. The red one refills HP/MP and the other's
a normal one. Before you continue, take the southern exit here until it comes
to another room...
.------------------.--------.--------.----------.----------.------------------.
| Lv. 6 Ogre | HP: 40 | MP: 60 | ATK: 39 | DEF: 5 | DIFFICULTY: 3/10 |
| Lv. 5 Sidewinder | HP: 26 | MP: -- | ATK: 30 | DEF: 6 |------------------'
'------------------'--------'--------'----------'----------'
A little harder than normal with the inclusion of Ogres, who may cast a couple
magic spells. They start near each other, so defeat the nearest Sidewinder to
make sure they don't all tag-team someone at once. This is a good battle to
use Force Ring in, although any enemies that get killed by other monsters do
not give EXP to your allies. Ogres have horrible defense as you can see, so it
isn't a trial to take one down each round. Lutz can use 'Steal' (learned at
LV7) to take Herbs from the big pink monsters if he needs to.
Take the [SHIMMER STONE] from the chest and backtrack to the savepoints. Raid
the chest for another [SHIMMER STONE]. Inspect the large crystalline door by
here and choose to push on it, which opens the thing. Inside is the crystal's
keeper, Tengaron...who's also the same guy who was at the guild earlier...
.------------------.---------.--------.---------.----------.------------------.
| Lv. 8 Tengaron | HP: 155 | MP: 50 | ATK: 40 | DEF: 7 | DIFFICULTY: 4/10 |
'------------------'---------'--------'---------'----------'------------------'
A boss who uses guns and doesn't summon minions to do his legwork -- I like
this dude's style! His attack can do roughly about the same as an Ogre (~20),
but he's got a range of two so he'll try not to let anyone counterattack him
if possible. Don't stand next to each other since this means he can obviously
attack two people at once! Use Alec's Cure to get through, and have Lutz try
to steal a 'Fur Cape' from him. You should have plenty of opportunities if the
average party level is 8+. Should you find this hard, fight the ogre battles
and return to the healing point repeatedly.
Tengaron allows the party to get a [CRYSTAL FRAGMENT] from this most holiest
of holy sites (to him), so it's time to scoot back to Itio. Everyone leaves
the cave automatically, anyway.
---
Back at the Itio Guild, Alec earns a [HUNTER'S CREST] and is a full-fledged
member of the Hunters now! Make sure to read the wanted board and all of the
monsters on it to get the information put into the 'Outlaw Jobs' category.
The game becomes a little open ended here, but the main thing is that you'll
keep taking jobs. We'll just go in order, but when you finish the second
job (not counting Trial Cave), a 'specialty job' comes up, being Job #6. DO
NOT TAKE IT UNTIL ALL OTHER JOBS ARE FINISHED OR YOU'LL MISS THEM FOREVER.
Check out the job section to complete the following:
� Job 2 - 'Protect Medicinal Plants' -----> [JB02]
� Job 3 - 'Supplies for Hunter Jay' ------> [JB03]
� Job 4 - 'Nasty Creatures in the House' -> [JB04]
� Job 5 - 'Examiner's Assistant' ---------> [JB05]
� Job 6 - 'Chase the Monster Egg Trunk' --> [JB06]
Following Job 6, the party will sail across the sea to Forestamore, or
more specifically, Renn Port on that continent.

05) Renn Port [WK05]
_______________________________________________________________________________
�������������������������������������������������������������������������������
SHOP: SH02
After seeing how cool this place is, with all its sunken buildings ("The boat
is anchored to a ROOF!"), make your way NW out of the port area into Renn
proper. Locating the musician with the egg is first priority; the building's
located in the NW part of town. Enter the 2nd-floor room to find the musician
and his 'scary monster' that hatched...it's like a furry penguin baby. ^____^
Obtain the [BABY MONSTER]! The musician will play his trumpet and everyone's
HP will increase by 5, also.
.--------------------. The Monster Society, the dropoff destination, is in
| ITEM CHECKLIST | the NE corner of town. A guy named Theo talks about
|--------------------| Carding monsters (FFVIII much?) and brings everyone
| _ | over there. Here, Theo says that he wants to be one
| |_| Baby Monster | of the 'Cardists' and leaves. The monster gets left
'--------------------' here as well...JOB COMPLETE!
Report to the guild on the southernmost street to learn that Theo's gone off
to the ruins in the Great Scar (good heavens?). At this point, you MUST take
Job #7 - 'Fetch the Runaway Boy.' It's possible to explore town thereafter.
Stock up on steel equipment if you can afford it, although you still can't
access Monaire's Shop down by the port...
On the world map, head up the road to Corelia Pass...a mandatory stop. =/
_______________________________________________________________________________
�������������������������������������������������������������������������������
06) Corelia Pass [WK06]
_______________________________________________________________________________
�������������������������������������������������������������������������������
Just by entering, there are a few intruders to take care of...
.------------------.---------.--------.---------.----------.------------------.
| Lv 7 Roc | HP: 28 | MP: 32 | ATK: 44 | DEF: 07 | DIFFICULTY: 1/10 |
'------------------'---------'--------'---------'----------'------------------'
You can get first strike if you want, but their counterattacks'll definitely
hurt. Use Force Ring to (try and) inflict Confuse to get most out of your
hair and cut down any stragglers with the next attack. The reason for the low
difficulty is that steel equipment makes them look like chicken-hawks...
After defeating the first wave, more show up. A mysterious woman scares them
all off, though, with some gadget. The name's Sharon, an Academy scientist!
She doesn't join the party, however. On the world map, go up the road and
look for a small NE branch that leads to the Great Scar.

Theo is trapped on a small ledge, so Lutz finds a vine to lower everyone down
and get him. They escort him inside the Sealed Ruins. There is a puzzle shift
thing to do with Theo here, which is INCREDIBLY LAME and one of my least
favorite things to do ever. Use [] to rotate the tiles left, and O to rotate
them right. Use R1 to put a numerical overlay to see where the pieces go.
Speaking of which, they should be arranged like:
1 2 3 4
5 6 7 8
9 10 11 12
13 14 15 16
Use the Triangle button to restart. The easiest way to do this is to put the
the pieces in the corner, starting with 1, and go left to right. If you get
stuck, remember that you can stand on the edge and switch two at once. I found
that this problem (having two tiles left that are screwed up) is easily done
by this. Don't forget!
Theo will get Cardish Powers and the Summon ability for completing this small
puzzle. Return back to the chief outside to find he's being circled by some
Slumber Flowers!

'------------------'---------'--------'---------'----------'------------------'
Four-on-three matchup, huh? Yeah, Theo's in this fight this time. Use Cardish
to turn the monster into a card, and that's that. Easy-peasy junk.
---
After returning to the Monster Society, Theo joins the party permanently and
this job's complete. Remember that Wanted Monsters and human-type enemies are
unable to be Cardish'D. Get your bounty at the guild! There are more jobs to
do, also:
� Job 8 - Renn Hunters' Monster Assault ------> [JB08]
� Job 9 - Model for a Troubled Painter -------> [JB09]
� Job 10 - Chase Away the Suspicious Man ------> [JB10]

� Job 19 - See the Little Roc! ----------------> [JB19]
� Job 20 - Appraisal for Mysterious Object ----> [JB20]
Job 11 is the one that continues the storyline, and appears after doing Job
8, 9, or 10 (pick one). This brings everyone to Lieza's Ranch in the far
northwest of this area. One can find a [SOOTHING RING], [LIGHT ALLOY], a
[RECOVERY TONIC], [MAGIC APPLE], and an [AMAZING HERB] in her storehouse.
Back at the guild office, Theo asks Alec to request a job off of the isle,
so he can see more of the world. Jobs 12-14 will have now appeared! Pick
one and complete it; as you try to collect the bounty, you'll overhear a
few townfolk talking about an object that fell behind the mountains. Job
#15 will now be available. Complete it to get Jobs 16-19 available. Finish
two jobs to unlock Job #20, a special one that takes everyone outside of
Forestamore.
More specifically, to Galecki Falls in North Sularto.

the "losers from Gislem" right before they almost attack everyone...luckily
the fighting's thwarted. The girl is named Cheryl apparently -- a munitions
expert. Well, it's been kind of a sausagefest up 'til now...a new ally's on

Finally, we don't have to hear that lame & grating Renn town theme! Cheryl'll
split once everyone arrives, but we've got other things to do. Item Society's
building is right in front of the town gate -- hooray! Deliver the mysterious
object and learn the nearest Hunters' Guild is in Gislem, just down the road.
A counter inside this guild (item guild) allows one to synthesize items into
new things; try it out! Combine two Herbs together to make an 'Amazing Herb'
which is very useful. Synthesizing costs no upfront cost, so make sure to
save and experiment to save your inventory's stuff. One great weapon you can
make for Lutz is the "Palo's Knife," which is created by synthing two Palo
Nuts.
Next door at the Weapon Society, you can find Cheryl. She'll leave, though,
and a man says she's from the "rathole" that is Gislem. Since there's a
guild there, let's go! [NOTE: You have to see Cheryl here before you can

Complete Job #21 to open up Jobs #22-26, then complete two jobs from that
bracket to open up #27. Complete said job involving Cheryl to open up the
Jobs #28-31; complete two of those to unlock Job #32. Our gun-totin' pal
Cheryl joins during Job #32 and the way to South Sularto is then able to

| Lv. 16 Paralyze Ooze (x2) | 45/40 | 69/21 |
'-------------------------------------'---------'---------'
The ghostly enemiess physical damage is transferred back as healed HP, so
gang up 'em first thing to prevent any ciphoning. Besides that, take this
opportunity to Cardish some new foes.
There is an [EMBLEM OF LARK] and a [VITALITY FRUIT] right nearby, in a gray
box which you may easily overlook. A [LIFE FRUIT]'s to the right side of
the screen, too. Two screens down, another fight is waiting.

| Lv. 23 Golem Master | 41/80 | 72/15 |------------------'
'-------------------------------------'---------'---------'
Golems are powerful but slow, so you'll have time to Card Field at the very
beginning of the fight. Gang up on them one by one and try to Cardish one or
the other; they're rather useful.
Collect a [MAGNETIC BELT] for your troubles and a [PALO NUT] hidden in the
upper-right corner. Continue in another three screens for another...stall...
battle. <yawn>

| Lv. 20 Skull Warrior | 69/00 | 112/14 |
'-------------------------------------'---------'---------'
Draw them close while you use Card Field, then hit 'em with Silent on Turn 2.
The Ghosts suck as always, but be careful of the skull warrior's two-panel
attack range. Cheryl's Napalm Edge's unique range can also help here. Cardish
any new monsters if possible.
When the undeads are rekilled, pick up the [GOD'S NECTAR FRUIT], [LIGHT ALLOY]
and [RECOVERY TONIC]. Right nearby is the 'Secret Path Center' where one can
steal a [RECO POD] and [STRENGTH NUT] before continuing into the adjacent
area riddled with monsters.

| Lv. 23 Golem Master | 41/80 | 72/15 |------------------'
'-------------------------------------'---------'---------'
Same as the last fight but with one extra Golem. Use Card Field like before
and try to Cardish any weakened Golem; summon it on the next turn if you need
to. If you got a Paralyze Ooze card [etc.] this battle goes by a lot quicker.
In the next room, heal up/save if you think it wise, continuing down into the
B3 area of the Secret Path.

| Lv. 23 Golem Master (x3) | 41/80 | 72/15 |------------------'
'-------------------------------------'---------'---------'
Is this supposed to be more difficult or something? Inflict Silence on the
Golem Masters (or use a paralysis-inflicting card summon) then run wild.
Use Card Field of course.
Get a [MAGIC SPRIG] and the [SILVER KNIFE] in the next screen. You shouldn't
need it if you synthed a Palo's Knife like I said; it's simply grand! A few
screens later is the next battle...

'-------------------------------------'---------'---------'
Been awhile since we saw these weaklings (at the Trial Cave), and they're
even weaker now that you can OHKO 'em. Or could you always do that? Hmm, no
matter. Use some card summon to destroy them from across the field and wreak
havoc on the Golems like normal.
Get the [PALO NUT] 'round this arena and head towards the exit. Testa's right
next to the massive gorge you just crawled under.

Visit the Item Society to learn that a shopkeeper in Pandira refuses to sell
the item needed (Tem's Grass). However, the protector of the town, Tosh, is
on friendly terms with him so they ask Alec to seek his counsel. In the NE
tent in town, talk with Tosh to learn Ali's full name (Aliorihavelymasogarli)
which will need to be stated when meeting with him. Check out the shops here
as well as the cluster of special shops down in the bazaar (SE exit in town)
area. You can also play the Choko Time minigame by inspecting the large pot
by Chongara -- more on this at a later time.
For now, go to Pandira and watch the dazzling opening scene!
Enter Ali's shop near the Casino and call him "Aliorihavelymasogarli" (the
middle option) to get him to open up. Spend the 2500G you received earlier
on the Tem's Root! Return to the Item Society in Testa for the synthetizing
procedure and a...[HYBRID MAGIC APPLE] will be created! Take it to the Weapon
Society nearby and watch the magic begin. Platinum Sword + Light Fragment =
Ray Sword! Take it to the Bazaar Control Office -- the bldg. just to the
southeast of here -- and let them keep the sample. Last but not least, get
permission from Tosh to sell it at the bazaar and...that's it! Job #32 is
completed.
However, just as Cheryl's about to split again, someone screams out for help!
A man is taken by The Academy, and Shu -- Tosh's old fighting buddy -- who is
working with them. Oh well. The Ray Sword can be bought for 7200G in one of
the weapon shops, after you try to leave. It's really not that much better in
attack but it does raise various other stats (DEF, AGL, MAG +3). Buy it if ya
feel spendy...
To continue the storyline again, we'll have to do more...JOBS! Wahoo.......
� Job 34 - Bazaar Item Contest -----------> [JB34]
� Job 35 - Crash Site Monster Bash -------> [JB35]
� Job 36 - Discover the Charm's Power ----> [JB36]
� Job 37 - Make the Shop Prosper ---------> [JB37]
� Job 38 - Catch the Bazaar Shoplifter! --> [JB38]
� Job 39 - Bring Back the Water Sphere! --> [JB39]
� Job 40 - Stop the Riot -----------------> [JB40]
Numbers 34-37 are available once Job #32 is finished; Complete one of those
jobs to unlock Job #38; complete that one and cash in the bounty to start
another scene, regarding The Academy members stealing the town's Water Sphere.
They teleport out with it and this leads to Job #39 being available. You have
to take it as you can't leave the guild without doing so.
During this time, Job #40 will become available in Gislem. Make sure you do
it ASAP, as it becomes unavailable after finding out The Academy base is in
the gigantic Romalian battleship -- the one that made the gorge that makes
a huge rift between the Sularto area. Tosh will join after completing Job 39
and then the destination is set: the Battleship! Just enter from South
Sularto.

Tosh will cut a way through the metal carcass that is the old Romalian
battleship, giving access. A captive says that materials and people have been
taken to another site... Open the crate with [TOUGH ALLOY] in it and enter a
long hallway. One door is locked, the other at the far end is open. A battle
waits inside.
.---------.---------.
| HP/MP | ATK/DEF |
.-------------------------------------+---------+---------+------------------.
| Lv. 23 Academy 1 Fighter (x2) | 105/00 | 75/12 | DIFFICULTY: 2/10 |
'-------------------------------------'---------'---------'------------------'
You've fought tougher than these guys, and their difficulty's depreciated
since the encounter in North Sularto. Tosh can really rip into these guys,
but even without him, you can use Card Field and achieve the same effect.
Hopefully you bought Cheryl the Sub-Machine Gun in Testa before everyone
was evacuated, as it can hit multiple targets if they're in close range.
They'll only be hitting for ~30, anyway. Next!
Scour the room for a [LIGHT ALLOY], [SWIFT ARMLET], and [RAD'S Reagent]
before continuin' east into the hallway. Go to the far end and raid the
control room with a [PALO NUT] inside; also, operate the console to
remove door lock #1. This opens that door back in the first hallway, which
leads to the torpedo bay...
.---------.---------.
| HP/MP | ATK/DEF |
.-------------------------------------+---------+---------+------------------.
| Lv. 19 Interceptor | 90/00 | 100/14 | DIFFICULTY: 2/10 |
| Lv. 23 Academy 1 Fighter | 105/00 | 75/12 |------------------'
'-------------------------------------'---------'---------'
Nothing new, except for the Interceptor. Just summon a card or something
to get this over with (an Ogre Mage may OHKO everything), although carding
an extra robot type isn't too bad of an idea.
Afterwards, get the [GREEN TALISMAN] and [LIFE NUT] in the console room
next door. Flip the switch to disengage door lock #4, which is later on.
In the meantime, enter that second long hallway (past the hangar) and take
the middle door, which leads to a four-exit hallway. Go left. Once in the
cafeteria, you'll have to tango with
some more tangoes... .---------.---------.
| HP/MP | ATK/DEF |
.-------------------------------------+---------+---------+------------------.
| Lv. 23 Academy 1 Fighter (x2) | 105/00 | 75/12 | DIFFICULTY: 3/10 |
| Lv. 36 Academy Special Ops | 149/280 | 68/22 |------------------'
'-------------------------------------'---------'---------'
The Lv. 36 enemy looks kind of daunting, but really, look at his ATK/DEF...
it's a piece of crap. Use Card Field and long-range attacks like normal,
while making use of the tables and walls to prevent as much back attacks
and flanking as possible. Take out the Special Ops as fast as possible, as
it WILL use wind-elemental attacks; alternatively, use Lutz' Magic Shield
ability to prevent attribute damage (which I guess means that magic damage
becomes non-elemental and/or there is no extra effect to weaknesses...?).
Next door, disengage Door Lock #2, which opens one of the doors in the
crossroads corridor left of the cafeteria. Enter the stairs to access the
1F of the ship. The right exit leads to a jammed control; the left to a
near-repeat battle of the cafeteria skirmish, just with one less attacker.
One screen over, disengage Door Lock #3, which opens the southern door
in the four-exit room. Whew, almost done.
At the third screen, enter a storage room to find some more items, being
a [TOUGH ALLOY], [RAD'S Reagent], [MAGIC POWER NUT], and [LIFE NUT]. Keep
going down the corridors and eventually the party will reach the battleship
bridge. After some events involving the Water Sphere, Tosh will leave the
party and Shu will join.
---
In the corridor immediately after the bridge, there is a resting spot & save
journal if you need it. However, upon reaching the upperdeck, the Academy's
members will escape via an airship (that looks curiously like the Silver Noah
from ATL2...almost).
.---------.---------.
| HP/MP | ATK/DEF |
.-------------------------------------+---------+---------+------------------.
| Lv. 14 Cannon Trap (x2) | 89/00 | 147/14 | DIFFICULTY: 3/10 |
| Lv. 13 Shotgun Trap (x2) | 85/00 | 143/14 |------------------'
'-------------------------------------'---------'---------'
Despite the high ATK power, these enemies are planted into the ship's deck,
and they can't track anyone should they need to back off to cure or somesuch.
If you included Shu in this battle, and you should've, his Dimension Gun will
have a HUGE range and can attack two at once. The Cannon Traps have an attack
range that is exactly like Cheryl's Napalm Edge, which means you can avoid
the line of fire rather easily. Avoid Shotgun Traps' range of fire by going
diagonal to their position.
Exit the topdeck by taking the other stairway to the east. When you get to
the area with a laser field, avoid it and go to the room in the vicinity,
following it to another corridor with two new doors. The middle disarms the
laser field, the other leads to a
lounge... .---------.---------.
| HP/MP | ATK/DEF |
.-------------------------------------+---------+---------+------------------.
| Lv. 19 Interceptor (x3) | 90/00 | 100/14 | DIFFICULTY: 2/10 |
'-------------------------------------'---------'---------'------------------'
Horrible DEF + Shu & Cheryl's long-range attacking = Boring fight. Note that
this fight WILL repeat each time you need to go back through, although you
may find Gunner Pods next go-'round.
Don't double-back to the laser field yet; continue out the lounge's other
exit. The leftmost door leads to a [TOUGH ALLOY] chest by a console that
tells 'Passcode 1: 9871'. That'll be useful in a sec. Return to the first
laser field (deactivated) to get access to the next two rooms in the hallway.
Enter Passcode 1 into one of the doors, then enter to find that Passcode 3
is '1192'. Continue into the other door bordering the laser field to get back
onto the battleship's deck...
.---------.---------.
| HP/MP | ATK/DEF |
.-------------------------------------+---------+---------+------------------.
| Lv. 21 Gunner Pod (x3) | 93/00 | 106/15 | DIFFICULTY: 3/10 |
'-------------------------------------'---------'---------'------------------'
They're not too hard to take down as long as you don't have anyone standing
next to each other or on the same latitude/longitude (to borrow geographical
terms). Their range is long so they can hit multiple targets with their phys.
attack if you let them.
Exit down the left stairway to find the 3F again. A control panel room will
have a [RAD'S Reagent], [MAGIC SPRIG], and an [EMBLEM OF LARK] inside. There
is also a Passcode 2 entry '3121' to find as well. So where do we find this
input for #2? You need to exit through the lounge again and take the north-
-pointing hallway up. Input the second passcode to gain entry to the next
room. A [YELLOW TALISMAN] and [VIOLET FRUIT] are in here, as well as the
laser field deactivator. Just outside, go across the once-active laserbeam
floor and input the third passcode -- enter. Whew...almost over...maybe.
The first red-colored door you come to, there's another sleep-'n'-save room,
with a [MAGIC ARMLET] and [PALO NUT] duo inside as well. Continue down the
path you haven't taken yet to find the Battleship Factory section. We will
find the boss of this place here! I suggest using a party of Alec, Lutz,
Theo, and Shu -- Cheryl has no real useful skills besides a weak Cure at this
time. LET'S GET IT ONNNNNNNNN!
.---------.---------.
| HP/MP | ATK/DEF |
.-------------------------------------+---------+---------+------------------.
| Lv. ?? Chaos Arms (BOSS) | ???/??? | ???/??? | DIFFICULTY: 6/10 |
| Lv. 13 Crustacean (x?) | 65/40 | 71/23 |------------------'
'-------------------------------------'---------'---------'
Use Card Field on everyone to help bring the Crustaceans' damage down to a
piddly single-digit hopefully. It will use 'High Orbit Explosives' on any
allies within a short-range, often doing 80+ damage, so we'll want to avoid
that as much as possible. Truly, the best course of action is to Silence all
Crustaceans so that they're really doing inconsequential damage and focus
all attention on the Chaos Arms. It's funny-named "Whupass Beam" can do 100+
damage and will kill any Crustaceans in range as well, which is why Alec has
to be primed to Cure allies whenever possible. One great tactic I used was
that the 'Armor Tortoise' card raises DEF by A LOT; Shu had 102 after! This
doesn't affect those who had Card Field on them already, however... 'Chain
Gun Sweeping Fire' is a rather lame physical attack that attacks those within
a very close range; if you bunch everyone up against the behemoth in a
certain pattern (one on each side of the main gun, one each diagonally-up from
there) you can draw the chaingun attack AND be able to Cure everyone at the
same time. After about 800 damage, it'll all be over...
Follow Shu out after to finally get the heck outta this place!

SHOPS: Rusaht [SH06], Paysus [SH07]
The destination is Paysus, on the southern seaboard. The library can be found
in the southwest part of town, but after delivering the goods and finishing
Job #45, the man tells Alec that the guild has been closed. Exit onto the
street and talk with Sania (a character from ATL2) to hear some weird visions
she's had.
But, anyway, go over to the guild to learn that ALL hunters are going for one
extremely large job. The only job available is #46, which must be taken (see
job section on completing it).
� Job 46 - All Hunters, Find Tikva! --------> [JB46]
� Job 47 - Finger the Page Pilferer! -------> [JB47]
� Job 48 - Drive Lakeshore Bandits Away! ---> [JB48]
� Job 49 - Find the Pet Dog ----------------> [JB49]

� Job 54 - Traveling Duo's Great Discovery -> [JB54]
� Job 55 - Trainee Monk's Romance Trouble --> [JB55]
� Job 56 - Archmonk Iga's Special Delivery -> [JB56]
In the last leg of the job, a new character Marsia becomes a fixture in the
party, this time for good. Jobs 47-50 then become accessible, and after
doing two of those, Job #51 which needs to be completed. Once that has been
wrapped up, Jobs 52-55 are up for grabs. Do two of those to open up Job #56,
which will take everyone to the new continent of Parute.
Everyone lands on Dartanelle Beach, and from there, make for Paltos.

SHOP: SH08
Upon arriving, it seems everyone is in a hurry to see what the prize for the
Battle Tournament is. Head north and enter the stadium; there it's revealed
the prize is a Brilliant Goddess Statue! (Hmm, where have we seen this before
ATL2 fans?). After seeing Sharon, drop by the Item Society -- an employee'll
tell Alec that Leshalt lives in a southern area.
On the world map, mosey south to Paltos to arrive at the Mountain Retreat.
Talk with Leshalt to get a job complete on #56, which opens up the requests
in the Paltos Guild.

Complete two jobs to open up #61, a storyline-related mission. After finishing
the mission, Leshalt will learn of the Academy's exploits, and Jobs 62-64. Job
#64 is another plot-centric mission, and mandatory, natch. During Job #64, the
team will have to infiltrate the Secret Academy Base...

'--ENTER
I'll spare the x-treme details on these since, the only monsters within are
Lv. 23 Academy 1 Fighters and their kin. They were annoying awhile back, but
are mincemeat under anyone's sword 'bout now. Also note that "monster rooms"
no longer have one-time troops in it; they all respawn each time you enter.
Upon entering the 3-prong hallway, take the left passage up to the 2nd floor.
Go into the southern door to enter another three-pronged hallway. The middle
door leads to a control panel with a subcontrol room lock. There are 2 items
in here as well, a [RECO POD] and [MAGIC SPRIG]. Don't bother with the third
room at the far end of the hall, though.
Return to the previous hallway and backtrack another screen; this time take
the leftmost door into a monster room. Continue down the vacant hall past
there, and into another 3-prong hallway. The middle room has the center
control room unlocker, as well as a [PALO NUT], [INFERNO POWDER], and
[MYSTERIOUS ORE] inside a few chests. The center door in the save point room
will now be unlocked. Don't forget to get the [VITALITY FRUIT], [MAGIC POWER
NUT], and [STRENGTH NUT] in the nearby storage room, that is if you want to
fight two battles in and one out.
Backtrack the way you came (unless you want to fight a bunch of gratuitous
battles) and enter the save point room. Of course, we couldn't leave without
a boss battle! Velhart joins.

| HP/MP | ATK/DEF |
.-------------------------------------+---------+---------+------------------.
| Lv. ?? Steingraff (x2) | ???/??? | ???/??? | DIFFICULTY:
'-------------------------------------'---------'---------'------------------'
Suggested party: Velhart, Alec, Theo, Lutz. Use Card Field at once and boost
the DEF, because the 'Short Cannon' attack can do 100+ damage normally to a
large radius. 'Gatling Barrage' can attack in a straight line across the
field, hitting multiple people that way. Still, it's a pretty crappy attack
with Card Field involved. Attack the Steingraffs one at a time, particularly
with powerful cards (Dragon, Ogre Lord, etc.) and Impulse Bomb. Velhart is
not that great here, surprisingly, but his stats are impressive nonetheless.
Make sure Alec has enough MP to use Cure, which is invaluable here. Each has
about 500 HP, which means this isn't to entirely tough as their DEF isn't that
good.
Afterwards, Velhart joins the party permanently. To complete the job, take
the ancient Aura Stone to the Paltos Item Society special warehouse.

Enter the guild once the job has finished to be let into their special room.
The Guildmaster, head of all the world's guilds, and the presidents of all
the societies are just hangin' back there! They want Alec to work in concert
with the guilds for a special mission, being:
[SEARCH ACADEMY HQ!]
Find and infiltrate The Academy Headquarters in Ragnark, and obtain detailed
information regarding their plans. Report findings to Guildmaster!
� Job 65 - Make Dartanelle Beach Safe Again -> [JB65]

� Job 67 - Gruga's Surveillance Request -----> [JB67]
� Job 68 - Catch Mamaman's Depression -------> [JB68]
� Job 69 - Search Academy HQ! ---------------> [JB69]
The Academy is a threat to the world's existence; their base is in the country
formerly known as Romalia. A Hovercraft is supposedly going to be used to get
into the country. Cariote Cave supposedly has one -- to open it, move the
control right thrice, left twice. To officially take this job, get Job #69
at the front guild desk. Once that's been accepted, jobs #65-68 will appear.
If you want to do all of them, now the best time -- you can't get 'em after
doing Cariote Cave's events.
That's where the hovercraft it, and that's the next destination.

Crypt Rat and Flame enemies appear here, and while the latter is new and
powerful, it has horrible DEF/HP and should not pose a problem. About this
time, enemy encounters follow the same strategy (Card Field -> Impulse Bomb)
anyway, so I'll just skip the specifics. Note that the "X" on the map will

START
Enter and take the left path into a minefield area, which will damage all of
the allies when you walk on one. Where are they? Who can say, but you can
avoid most of them by not touching any 'border' squares on the rocky tiles.
There is a [INFERNO POWDER] and [RAD'S REAGENT] chest duo here. North two
screens is another [RAD'S REAGENT] and [LIGHT ALLOY] to put in your parsel.
Pull the lever and head back to that first screen, going right at the fork.
Past some deactivated arrow traps, climb the rope into the next floor. There
are tiles here that Alec can fall in, even if he's walking slowly; luckily, a
fall will send him to the room right below which has no monsters. Unluckily,
the broken tiles don't show up as such, so you'll have to memorize the path
through. To get through: Go this way:
START .-EXIT Take the rope down into the next room, a
| | monster-full one... Past there, enter a
FORK | 2nd minefield room. Inside, a [PALO NUT]
| | and [RECOVERY TONIC] can be found. There
FORK----FORK--. | are dual exits, but go east to find the
|ROCK| second lever. A [INFERNO POWDER] and
'----' [RAD'S REAGENT] can also be found in this
area, too. Pull the lever, double-back a
room, and climb the north rope. Continue into another room where there is a
holey floor. To navigate, go like such:
START----------------.WALL
| Work your way to the western wall and take
WALL.-FORK | the 'EXT' to a three-chest storage room. It
| | | has a [RECO POD], [STRENGTH ARMLET], and
| FORK--FORK | [RAD'S REAGENT] inside. Return back 1 room
| | | and wind your way counterclockwise to the
| FORK--FORK | chest. That chest you find in the holey
EXT-| | | room has a [PALO NUT]; to get it, you need
|CHEST---. FORK---'WALL to REALLY go counterclockwise, by sticking
'--------' to the extreme edges of the east, then
north to find it. Fall in the hole to get
into the room below, where a [LIFE NUT] waits. The plank will fall in the
water and let you access all previous rooms again. Go south and kill all of
the baddies (the Shaman Hemo-jis can restore KO'd monsters! Watch out!).
Continue until a north/south fork and go up; there's a save point/rest stop
there for recuperating. South from the fork is what's noted on the map as
the 'Ladder Maze'. There's no enemies here, luckily.

This place is quite massive, but it shouldn't be too hard to deal with if you
use the above map. Keep heading south until you get into the third screen, by
the [MYSTERIOUS ORE] box. Double back one screen and take the southern of the
three east passages; this leads to a rope down. Follow to the "E" rope and
continue north into the first screen, where there are two ropes to take. The
one closest to the middle leads to another [MYSTERIOUS ORE]. Go back up and
take the "G" rope over to the "H" rope. Follow south to the #16 item, a
[TOUGH ALLOY]! It's not possible to go west or south -- go west.
Rope I & J are here -- ignore them as they just connect to each other. Arc
counterclockwise out of here, to where Rope K is. A [MYSTERIOUS ORE] and
[INFERNO POWDER] can be found below, as well as two other ropes. Take Rope
N to a [MYSTERIOUS ORE], then double back to the three-rope room. Take "K"
back out again.
Whew, almost done. Back up "K", head down and west, then south into a large
room with the "P" rope accessible. Follow it to the "Q" rope, then exit in
the northeast to find the "R" rope, which leads to the "S" rope. You'll end
up in the middle of the 2nd screen again. Follow the "T" rope to the #20
item, a [FLAY'S CREST]. Climb back up, go east, take the "U" rope down to a
"V" rope; exit back into the normal cave portion. North a screen, take the
"W" rope to a [STRENGTH NUT]; double-back and go north. You'll be back in
the 1st screen! Take the "X" rope, save, and follow the "Y" rope up to...

Job #72 leads to Kutao Temple, which is a large optional dungeon filled with
priceless treasures. It's highly recommended since, y'know, there's no reason
to stave off.

Anyway, eventually you will have to fight some hunters in one of the rooms
marked in blue.
.---------.---------.
| HP/MP | ATK/DEF |
.-------------------------------------+---------+---------+------------------.
| Lv. 45 Sword Hunter | 309/100 | 174/24 | DIFFICULTY: 2/10 |
| Lv. 48 Rifle Hunter | 374/90 | 181/24 |------------------'
'-------------------------------------'---------'---------'
These selfish brigands can still be dropped like a sack of bricks, just with
Silence + Fatal Dagger + Impulse Bomb. Use Excitement to raise everyone's
ATK if you need to, but chances are, you won't have to. Brain Blast's chance
to inflict paralysis may help out as well. [NOTE: Subsequent encountesr with
these two idiots are different; they will be accompanied by 3 Lv. 43 Treasure
Hunters who use whips (two-panel range). Heal up!] Note that these do not
count as hunters that need to be saved.
Anyway, proceed through the maze in any way you like until you get to the
warp room. There are four panels, going from left to right. The leftmost (#1)
will be pushed in and may not work, #2 & #4 return Alec to the room with the
first tablet, and #3 makes the northern exit lead to the B3 area.
At the second warp room on B2, if you read the tablet, you'll know to pick
the path "that memory dictates." Which, of course, means the destination is
once again the third panel. This opens the way forward again; the others only
warp back to the large room with an "X" or the tablet nearby. North two rooms
will lead to a hunter whose female companion's been kidnapped by some golems.
.---------.---------.
| HP/MP | ATK/DEF |
.-------------------------------------+---------+---------+------------------.
| Lv. 51 Iron Golem (x2) | 306/50 | 222/48 | DIFFICULTY: 4/10 |
| Lv. 53 Master Golem (x2) | 313/120 | 228/49 |------------------'
| Lv. 47 Crystal Golem (x2) | 297/90 | 214/47 |
'-------------------------------------'---------'---------'
Like usual, Fatal Dagger can help get rid of some of these with ease, while
Excitement/Card Field will help buff out the party. Their starting formation
is horrible like usual, and any upgraded attack can hit all six of them in a
single go. Also, they're remarkably slow, so if you work fast, you can get
rid of most of them before their first turn.
---
In Warp Room 3, simply go in the door already chosen -- the tablet tells of
the future, which means the default panel is the one you use. (You can tell
which warp room it is by the number of swirls on the central floor panel.)
Warp Room 4 has four different paths to take:
� PANEL 1 -> Tablet #5
� PANEL 2 -> Hunters, then
� PANEL 3 -> Treasure chests x 3
� PANEL 4 -> Two battles, then Treasure Chest x 3
Panel 2 leads to some hunters whose companion went ahead to find some meds
for her injured fans. Continue to the fifth warp room and press the second
panel (from left) to keep going -- all others will revert Alec's team back
to the room with a large 'X' on the floor, about three warp rooms prior...
Continue along the path depicted in the map until you find the last hunter,
who returns to her companions. Raid the chests one room up and follow back
to where the two injured hunters were. If you got all the treasures around
here, choose to "Join them" in going back to the surface. If you don't want
to go back, you can warp out in the room where the last hunter was (i.e. the
last orange spot on map).
Everyone automatically returns to Testa and it's a job complete!

Finally inside!
#############################################################################
NOTE: Rooms with guards become vacated after you clear them the first time!
#############################################################################
[FLOOR 1]
In the first room with a guard, you can exit east/west also (although it may
be hard to see). West, you can deactivate the Intrusion Detector Array 1,
and after that, the east room's Intrusion Detector Array 2 is open to be
deactivated as well. At the four-way exit room, go north.
Take the first door and find the Laser Inhibitors 1-4. Only two can be on at
the same time. #1 and #4 cancel all of the left side-hallway's laser grids,
while #2 and #3 cancel the right side-hallway's. Go left first which opens a
way into another Intrusion Detector; then, turn off the right laser grids to
find the stairs to the next floor.
[FLOOR 2]
The only open door here has the four Laser Inhibitors, and there are four
grids around here. Starting from the left and only counting laser grids:
GRID #1 -> Inhibitors 1 & 3
GRID #2 -> Inhibitors 2 & 3
GRID #3 -> Inhibitors 2 & 4
For now, all you have to worry about is getting the treasure chests and
opening the door Grid #1 protects -- the stairway goes to the Academy
Building's 1F again. Turn off the #4 intrusion detector array and go
back upstairs.
Open the door that Grid #2 protects and flip off the floor grid there,
leaving the SE door in the hallway accessible. Beyond, two guards patrol the
warehouse area. To evade their sights, follow the nearest one along the east
wall but idle (waste time going up/down one space) as it reaches the corner
and loops into the middle. This is your cue to enter from the north and cut
down the middle, as it will come back around the way it came.
Enter a ways until you come to the third guard room, shaped like:
_________________
| __ _ __ 1| The numbers represent the guards here, but it's
| | | | | | | | not too difficult. #1 goes counterclockwise 'round
| | | | | | | | the first column of boxes, so follow it and idle
|3 |__| | | |__| | a bit until the other two get to the northern part
|2 | |_ __| of their stack. Follow behind them and reach the
������|_| |_| door. Voila, simple as pie. Why did I draw such a
| | good diagram, then? Uh...NO COMMENT!
EXIT-' '-ENTER
Try to leave the next room and some eavesdroppin'
will commence on Sharon and her guest, Seville. They talk about getting to
the Academy's HQ and eventually leave. You can read papers on Sharon's desk
about how the destination is stationed by a lake, and how some of the areas
we'll come across have enemies that people are fearful of...
Anyway, backtrack out and head for White Bone Forest, the first impedement
in your trek north...

Excitement should be used first, and then Impulse Bomb or a good card attack
(like a Dragon or Hemo-ji). Beware of the Stone Gels' ability to inflict
gravity, but that's about the only hazard there is here.
Next stop: Academy HQ! Save before entering.

guys. Any mass-damage attack will suffice in making 'em push up daisies...
#############################################################################
NOTE: There are two ways to go through the place, and the HQ is actually
separated into two buildings. The "A" Building is accessed by taking
the stairs -- it's quicker but has a lot of enemy fights. The "B"
building has no enemy fights but is convoluted and uses elevators quite
a lot. The walkthrough is for the "B" route as any lunkhead with a pair
of eyeballs can read the straightforward map and get upstairs with ease
y'know?
#############################################################################
Anyway...
---
In the first elevator room, get an [INFERNO POWDER] and take the elevator up
to the next floor. Here, take the rightmost working one and continue until
a room with conveyor belts is found. Flip only the leftmost of the switches
and board the conveyor to reach the room's west exit. Continue along to find
an elevator unlocker -- #2 on F1 and F2 is now released!
Backtrack to the conveyor belt room once more. Flip on the leftmost and the
rightmost of the 3 switches and ride to the east edge of the room, where a
[GOD'S NECTAR FRUIT] is. Further on that way is a [MYSTERIOUS ORE]. Now, to
take the newly opened elevators! Go to the ground floor and take the second
elevator...
Once arriving, take the rightmost of the three elevators to its end, where a
unlocker can be found -- this one opens Elevator 3 on 8F and 10F. Backtrack
to the three-elevator room and go the leftmost way, which leads to a third
unlocker, this one for Elevator 4 on 3F and 8F. Next segment!
---
Return to the ground floor room with the four elevators. Take the leftmost
and, at the destination, the rightmost, which should not be active. This
leads to the second conveyor belt room. Out of the two switches, the left
shoves Alec onto middle platform (don't go north yet). Turn on that single
switch there, ride to the east platform, turn on the right switch, then
ride all the way to solid ground. An [ASTRAL ROD] is there for the taking!
Don't bother going north from here 'cause it's a cyclic part; instead, go
east again and at the single switch, it's north to the 3rd conveyor room...
---
Alec starts in the middle this time. Don't bother flipping the switch yet,
though. Ride west to the next single-switch platform and follow north to a
dead-end elevator. It's got a [WISDOM TABLET] and [SPEED RING] inside, though!
Mosey on back to the conveyor belt room, flip the switch nearby, ride east to
the next switch (flip it); and, from there, it's possible to sidle all the way
to the easternmost exit. Beyond a ways is a four-way elevator room -- take the
third-from-left one to its end and find an unlocker for Elevator 3 on 12F &
13F, and Elevator 4 on 1F!
Backtrack to the last (3rd) conveyor belt room and flip the eastmost switch.
Flip off the leftmost switch, but keep the middle one on; from the second-
-from-left platform, you can then ride the long conveyor belt to the leftmost
platform (how many times am I going to say platform? Stay tuned!). Follow it
to the last elevator-unlocker, regarding Elevator 3 on 1F & B1F.
You now have to backtrack ALL THE WAY to the initial ground-floor room with
the four elevators. It's hard to explain in reverse, so use that map I made
as an aid -- it'll help!
---
Finally, the last stretch. Take Elevator 3 to a [GRENADE LAUNCHER] and
[WISDOM TABLET] dead-end, then take Elevator 4 a ways up to the 13F! There's
a save point near there.
#############################################################################
NOTE: If you want to get the two Tough Alloys at the bottom of the HQ (Items
#2 and #3 on map), you should do so now.
#############################################################################
Anyway, on the 13F, take the enemy-less stairways until you're faced down
by a gigantic dragonmachine thingermajigger.

Leadoff with Excitement/Card Field since everyone starts so close together,
and if Velhart's with, Omega BUSTER. Also, have Lutz use Magic Shield to
prevent Reactor Flare's heinous fire-attribute damage. This also makes its
super-attack "Fire Crimson" do about 100 damage to those in its proximity.
Alec's Cure should be more than able to erase all damage dealt, and it's
only got ~900 HP. If you have the Romancing Stone, the difficulty's about
2/10.
A mysterious figure saves everyone from the explosion, and it turns out to
be.......Elc from ATL2 fame! After seeing some evaporatin' scenes, Elc'll
recover the Hein, his airship from the previous game. He suggests talking
to the Guildmaster and learning information about The Dark One before they
head to the Flying Castle. An old magic user named Gogen is supposed to
be able to help in these respects...HMM...

After talking with the Guildmaster in Paltos, the following jobs will become

Fragment, White Talisman, Soul Herb, Light Fragment, Magic Sprig,
Strength Nut, Recovery Tonic, Life Fruit, Magic Sprig, Palo Nut, Reco
Pod, Potent Violet Fruit, Magic Power Nut, Palo Nut, Battle Suit
[ROOM #1]
There's a small minigame from the get-go, where Alec has to catch a moving
box and take its contents. Coax it into the space along the western edge of
the room to trap it, and get the [STRENGTH NUT] within.
[ROOM #2]
The next room has two moving boxes. Scare the left box west, then do the
same with the right box until they're sort of near each other. When you
make them go north, they'll get trapped along that top wall. Crack open the
[RECO POD] near the orange crate, then get the other one's [LIGHT AMULET]!
[ROOM #3]
Two boxes again. See the two northern boxes up there? Try to maneuver one
_______________________ into a position ("1") against the wall and box.
_ This allows you to fake out the next one right up
1 [_] against the second one, trapping it. Take the easy
[_] [LIFE NUT] and open the "1" box for a [LIGHT
FRAGMENT].
[ROOM #4]
This one's a little easier. You need to scare all three boxes into that slot
in the northeast portion (three-tile area), against the east wall. One will
probably go into the middle first, making all the others' items way easy to
steal. They contain a [LIGHT FRAGMENT], [WHITE TALISMAN], and [SOUL HERB]!
[ROOM #5]
Four boxes this time and no crates to help with the capture. However, there
is a way to do this. Here's how I did it (w/ diagram!). 1 space = 1 panel,
by the way. "E" stands for empty boxes.
________________
B B |
01 - Make the boxes look like so in NE corner. |
________________
B B |
02 - Push a box in between the two at this point, right here ----------' |

________________
EB B|
04 - Take the fourth box and move it into the slot here -----------------'
05 - Get all the boxes!
They contain a [LIGHT FRAGMENT], [MAGIC SPRIG], [STRENGTH NUT], and [RECOVERY
TONIC]. Whew! Continue into the passageway with four new exits. Take the 1st
one on the left.
[ROOM #6]
This is a memory/tone puzzle. Step on the red box to see some tiles light
up. You need to step on those, so don't bother observing the torches; that
will lead you astray. Solution for stepping this room is:
[2][4][1][5][3]
Take the three chests in the room beyond, being [LIFE FRUIT], [MAGIC SPRIG],
and [PALO NUT]. Back in the hallway, take the next room to the right.
[ROOM #7]
The solution for this puzzle works out the same, although some spaces will
be used more than once (repeat numbers are listed under spaces you'd normally
step on).
[1][ ][2][3][4]
[8] [6][5]
[7]
Take the prizes beyond: a [RECO POD] & [POTENT VIOLET FRUIT]. In the corridor
take the next door to the right.
[ROOM #8]
[1][2][3][ ][ ]
[4] [5][6]
[9][8][7]
Reward? Sure! It's a [MAGIC POWER NUT], [PALO NUT], and a [BATTLE SUIT]! Go
in the last door in the hallway to find the next floor down. Take the middle
door here.
[ROOM #9]
This room makes many duplicates of Alec who bar his way as he tries to find
the northern exit. Move north/south repeatedly to find out where the real
Alec is located, and go north. This place has drop-off edges, meaning clones
and Alec can fall off (in which case he'll have to come back a ways to get
through again, but doesn't have to do all puzzles over). This time, go left &
right one panel each to knock clones off and find out Alec's whereabouts.
Easy!
The third room has more edges to fall off in the north south portion, so once
again move east/west one panel per step to knock the dopplegangers off. After
you get through, it's...
[GOGEN'S ROOM]
Finally made it. Gogen says the Dark One cannot be sealed, but lunkhead Lutz
suggests why not make a new ark to steal it in...? HUH? Apparently, it was
crafted from Eternal Flame, Eternal Ice, Eternal Tree, and Eternal Steel...
When found, Gogen'll do the rest...
---
Back on the surface, go to Paltos and tell the Guildmaster about the finds.
This completes Job #76 and opens up a few more jobs 'round the world, as a
time-waster 'til the Eternal items are located. Visit any non-Paltos guild
to receive information about said items' whereabouts!

� Job 85 - Spooky Stuffed Animal Warehouse --> [JB85] --> Testa
After talking with the Guildmaster in Paltos, it will be learned that Eternal
Steel was made by the Creator, and apparently can be located in Cariote Cave.
Y'know, the LADDER MAZE OF DOOM? This opens the following job:

At the end of the first stretch, Dorvan's family will meet up with Alec's
crew and say that the Eternal Steel isn't here. You can use their services
though [SH10] if you want -- they have all their bases covered. Leave when
ready and you'll automatically exit via a shortcut.
Everyone thinks the Eternal Steel may have been synthesized into another
object. Choose "Another possibility?" when it comes up, and Velhart will
suggest checking out the hero memorial hall in Paltos.
---
Once there, the curator points everyone in the right direction -- the sword
a statue is holding could probably be dated back far enough for consideration
on the subject (Mystic Great Sword). The sword was stolen after a match in an
ancient arena, and some say a ghost of that warrior still wanders around to
this day. The arena used to be in Digarta Wilds, a location that hasn't been
accessible until now. Save the game first, natch.
[NOTE: This also allows you to hunt the monster Neros, finally~~~~~~~~~~~!]
Go to the Digarta Wilds, located by the hovercraft's beach, and watch Velhart
get trounced. Ugh... Talk to Gruga in Paltos, then go to the arena colosseum,
Rochefort Manor, the Arena reception room, and Dartanelle Beach. After that,
Velhart learns how to defeat the Ghost Warrior. To the Digarta Wilds!

For starters, use MUSUO I/II/III to completely evade physical attacks while
leaving openings for counterattacks. It likes to use Thunder God Fission to
inflict decent damage, so equip Flay's Crest to help cut down on attribute
damage. Omega BUSTER will help for inflicting non-counterable damage on the
spectre. Seal Thunder Cut can do 100+ as well, so keep some healing items on-
-hand (Soul Herb, Super Amazing Herb, etc.) for when Velhart's HP gets lower.
Wing Cut is a crappy physical attack besides. He has 1000 HP, which isn't too
hard to whittle down with Omega BUSTER doing much of the work. Still, because
Velhart is alone, you may have trouble on the healing end. Be prepared...!
The Ghost Warrior will ascend to the heavens and [ETERNAL STEEL] will be in
Velhart's pocket soon enough.

As you can see, at the first fork, a [WIND FRAGMENT] is found way at the end
of the south fork, while the east one goes a lot farther (and you have to go
this way, natch). Theo will find a monster friend down that way, who beckons
him to go the left path. Take the right hole's vine and follow after the li'l
bugger.
In the room directly after where the monster first appeared, take the vine
(using the option) and backtrack one area, and go down the right side with
that vine. It leads to a monster room with a [WIND FRAGMENT], [TEM'S ROOT],
[TEM'S ROOT], and [WIND FRAGMENT]! And, after you're done, you can simply
take the root connecting to that room and bring it back to the three-way
fork. Go down the left hole with it and the right hole's vine.
After going a ways down, eventually we'll reach a path that goes directly
south to a monster room. South of there is a two-hole place. Take the east
vine down to a [WISDOM TABLET], [EARTH FRAGMENT], and [WISDOM TABLET] 'fore
climbing right back up and taking the vine. Plug it in the west hole and
go down.
Follow it until you get to the last treasure room, with a [PHALANX], [WISDOM
TABLET], [GREEN TALISMAN], [ROCKET BOMB], and [EARTH FRAGMENT] inside. Climb
back up and take that rope (after fighting the monsters). Climb back up and
return to areas prior, to the three-exit place -- go north to the next 3-exit
place. This time, take the left rope __UP__ and place the rope you took a bit
ago into the slot. Take the rope you just climbed up and go down the western
hole to where the save point/heal point is. Continue along until you've gotta
clean up an infestation...

I wonder how they came up with this name? A flurry of Excitement, Card Field,
and Magic Shield will help makes it damage-dealing horrible. It uses Genesis
X to switch its tail and head, which isn't much of a tactic. Raging Blaze is
its other attack (fire-attribute) on the allies around it. Lame! Anyway, once
1000 damage has been done, the battle ends.
This thing keeps growing a new head! After regrouping, the little monster
that Theo saved wants to be turned into a card to help. It changes the boss
into a large scorpion-lookin' thing.

Excitement + Card Field + Magic Shield to start off. It uses "Killing Mist"
to inflict damage and poison on those around it, and "Fascination Laser" is
not such a bad attack either. After enough damage, it uses "Movement" to
go to another location on the field. It's got about ~1400 HP to sift thru,
but Impulse Bomb can deplete 200+ per hit and some physical attacks can do
about that. Not that hard, but it's fun to have a boss fight once in awhile.
After some planting scenes, the [ETERNAL TREE BRANCH] is received! This'll
rack up another job complete!

Beware of Vampire Bats, which can use "Restore" in the same way Alec can use
Resurrection...only they can bring back multiple allies at once (max: 2/per).
It also seems they can only revive their own kind, too, for reference.
Anyway, this place is mostly full of "slide" puzzles. This means that Alec
will have to step on some ice and glide around until he comes to the exit.
The first room is awfully simple but it gets a little harder later on.
_______________
|SLIDE PUZZLE #2: Alec starts in the S part of the map. On the easternmost
tile, slide north -> west -> north -> east to the [WATER FRAGMENT]. From
there, it's north -> west -> east -> north -> east -> north -> west to the
exit.
A little ways ahead is the next puzzle by a save and heal point.
_______________
|SLIDE PUZZLE #3: There are multiple treasure chests here. Here's how to get
them.
� Blue Talisman ---> Stand south of save point and go south -> east ->
south -> west -> north -> west -> south.
� Blue Talisman --> By the save points, stand on the SW corner of the dry
land. Walk one space east then glide south -> west.
� Water Fragment --> Stand left of the save point and walk west until you
slide to the opposite solid ground. You can see a rock
just south; go to it. Then, it's east -> south -> west.
� Raila's Mirror --> After getting the Water Fragment (above), simply go
south to solid ground. Whee!
� Water Fragment --> Stand left of save point and glide west to the next
segment of dry ground. Stand in the SE corner and walk
one space west before gliding south. Go west -> south
-> east -> north.
� EXIT THIS PLACE -> Stand left of save point and glide west. That's all...
Defeat the Dark Fogs/Water Dragons and continue to the Eternal Ice Wall
that shields the booty. No one can think of a way to get through, however,
so it's back to Rusaht's institute. Salubari says the "Giga Plasma" spell
can break the ice wall, but few people can learn it because they have to
defeat all the elemental wizards and learn the essences of the elements!
Sounds like a long, boring run-around quest... =(
Only four are currently known, though Master Harzan of Amaidar Temple could
probably shed some light on their whereabouts. Salubari summons the four
wizards, and Harzan reveals the names of the other Light/Dark wizards --
the top of Amaidar Mountain. Talk to the Chun-Li-lookin' woman at the cafe
to learn Sania's at the library; after, return to the temple and get Iga's
message to leave for the mountaintop. Tikva trains to become the Light/Dark
Wizard, so return to Rusaht and challenge the wizards in the training hall.

This is a Marsia-only battle, but even with their horrible ATK there's a
huge DEF to overcome. If you've been using her a lot up to this time, all
you have to do is use the opposing attribute attacks on each wizard. It'll
probably fry 'em easily. On the other hand, if you haven't been using Marsia
up to this time (she was Lv. 20 for me), you may have your work cut out for
you. I suggest artificial DEF/MAG raising with the buff items, and equipping
the Delight Heal (+10 HP/MP per turn) and Flay's Crest (-50% attribute dmg)
for easier effect. I beat them all at Lv. 20 by using two Rocket Bombs -- it
takes over 100+ off each, and since they clump together, it's an easy way
out for those low-levelled people. For me it went:
TURN 1: Hit with Air Blast + Heat Shell; Marsia retreats SE and heals up.
TURN 2: Hit with Air Blast; Marsia uses a Rocket Bomb
TURN 3: Hit with Air Blast/Heat Shell/Land Ax; Marsia kills three wizard
TURN 4: Hit with Water Crumble; Marsia uses another bomb and kills Ovel.
Beat 'em at Lv. 24. ^___^ Now's the time for the Light/Dark Wizard....your
old friend Tikva! Marsia can't go &
save in-between, either, y'know... .---------.---------.

A high-levelled Marsia can dominate this easily, but for those who aren't
up to par with Tikva, do the Flay's Crest/Delight Heel accessories to cover
her back. Don't bother using light/dark attacks on Tikva because that's his
specialty. You can switch out the Delight Heel for a Light/Dark Amulet, also,
since he only has two attacks. Personally, I just threw a bunch of bombs at
him to win 'cause my Marsia's too low a level to deal real damage with her
Gaia Magic. Oh well, whatever gets y'through...
After defeating Tikva, Marsia learns the Giga Plasma spell. Rest/save at
Rusaht and return to the Eternal Ice Wall (no backtracking necessary). Let's
stick it to the boss...

As per usual, Excitement/Card Field/Magic Shield at the start, while Velhart
uses MUSOU I/II/III. Ice Masher can do 150+ to a single target, so all the
more reason for attribute-reduction accessories and spells. It uses Icicle
Cage on those in close-range, which does poor damage if Magic Shield is in
effect (~30); Prism Wall, however, summons up to three Ice Golems into the
battle...all the more reason to bumrush the thing and go as far north as
possible. The summoned golems appear way in the south. ^___^ Cliff Gigantor
has about 1000 HP, so it's not an insurmountable value.

Dario will think of a way to help Cheryl's gun freeze the lava: combine a
Rocket Bomb, Grenade Launcher, Ice Saber, and Calm Nut! Go to Gislem's Danger
Dome to meet Gudan and his gang. He drops the thing that Dwarf Behemoths in
Kutao Temple will have some (note: to unlock Kutao Temple, you must accept to
do Job #72). Here's a map of the place:

These little buggers have great elemental defense, so use specialty attacks
like Brain Blast or Divide to take them out easily. Fatal Dagger also works
for whittling down their HP, especially if you want to Cardish one. Their
"Heavy Bell" attack is pretty crappy, and you can paralyze them if needed.
A [CALM NUT] is acquired after battle (always), and back at Weapon Society,
the fabulous, glorious, incrediblelastic [STONE GUN] is created! Next-door,
Elnan will have a [LAMP] that can carry the Eternal Flame somehow. Clutz Lutz
puts it in his charge... -___-
Return to the Lake of Fire (no backtracking necessary) and the mysterious
flying object reveals itself as Diekbeck! There's a minigame where Cheryl
prevents lava from falling on Lutz by using the Stone Gun to stop it cold
in its tracks. Decide where Lutz ascends with the d-pad and press "X" to
start the ascent. She can only make lava blocks in the wall's vertical gaps,
however. If the target is green, Cheryl can't shoot there. Oh, and fire with
"X" also. It'll stop the lava for one round. Don't worry if you mess up --
there is infinite retries. ^____^ HINT: You can see where the lava will begin
at the very top, and it always flows down; however, it always takes the turns
when available, so that's how it makes its weird pattern. Here's how I did
it:
Slot #3 (third from left out of 4 available) -> shoot gap right next to Lutz
Turn 2: Shoot gap right left of Lutz
Turn 3: Shoot gap just NE of Lutz
Turn 4: Shoot any gap 'cause the lava won't get Lutz anyway
On the fifth turn, Lutz will make it up and capture the [ETERNAL FLAME]! The
job is now complete! Diekbeck also gives Theo his monster card as a farewell
gift...

#############################################################################
The first floor has three exits. From left to right: Dorvan Family shops +
save point, elevator to 2F, repeating monster room. You can now buy some good
weapons from Dorvan (finally!) but ultimately it's going up the elevator. The
"Feral Trial" will start there.
[2F]
The monsters here are pieces-o'-crap bad, such as Lv. 1 Opossums and Lv. 18
Stone Tortoises. A few Lv. 40+ monsters are thrown into the mix, like Flash
Hiders and Attack Dogs, but there's only five in all -- romp! This entire
challenge is basically a run through repeating rooms like in Kutao Temple.
To get through this floor, go (from Feral Trial):
01) East
02) North
03) West
04) North [to Savepoint]
05) North
06) East
07) East
08) South
09) East
The last room is the Dragon Trial, where there are three Altima [Lv. 75] foes
to strike down. They're the only new monsters out of all the rest, but still
shouldn't prove to be a challenge if you're adequately levelled. So much for
them being incredibly friendly, huh? Even with 700+ HP, Fatal Dagger still
makes it a fun fight. Just be sure to use Magic Shield since they know all
of the ____-attribute breath skills, and also resist all elements (this means
that Elc will be doing lots of 1-damage hits).
[3F]
Pretty straightforward, and you can avoid all monsters if you want. In the
hallway with the six exits (5 new), there are four on pointing north. The
middle two contain treasures, the rightmost another treasure (and monsters),
and the leftmost the way out. The SWmost exit is a dead-end and doesn't need
to be taken. So, go the NWmost and continue on your merry way. Eventually
you get to the elevator room, and an antechamber has a teleport, too. This
opens up a warp on the 1F right by the inn, for easier access.
[4F]
Academy 3 Fighters [Lv. 49, 176/304] are new but still are pretty crappy if
you're at a higher level than them...and you should be. A boss battle is up
after the 1st room...
.---------.---------.
| HP/MP | ATK/DEF |
.-------------------------------------+---------+---------+------------------.
| Lv. ?? Galdo | ???/??? | ???/??? | DIFFICULTY: 2/10 |
| Lv. 49 Academy 3 Fighter (x4) | 176/320 | 160/24 |------------------'
'-------------------------------------'---------'---------'
Excitement/Strike Power at the beginning and try to get a few potshots
in before Galdo uses Agility Bellow (increases self AGL). Destroy all of
the minions if you're planing on using elemental attacks, because they'll
use Magic Shield to make that less effective. If Theo's along, Card Field
to pre-empt the boss' Wild Shout, that increases his own ATK. Still, it's
borderline ridiculous how easily this can be to win. Galdo uses a few range
attacks to attack those around him but it's single-digit nonsense by now...
He's got about 2200 HP to slice off.
---
The following room has a [GOD'S NECTAR FRUIT] to take, and from there it's
all monster fights in rooms with three exits. Some have repeating paths that
reset you to the start, so we'll want to avoid them. From the first monster
room past Galdo, go:
Leftmost -> Leftmost -> Leftmost -> Rightmost -> Middle
This warps to the next floor.
[5F]
In the second room past the elevator, look carefully for a [LIGHT SABER] that
is obscured by the wall. It heals 20 HP per turn, and is better than anything
Alec has right now, I'm sure.
Anyway, in the long eight-exit hallway (7 new), all lead to treasure rooms
except for the two rightmost. The SEmost exit is the way to go after looting
the caches, and leads to the exit, as well as a warp back to the 1F if you
need to save/rest up.
[6F]
Collect the four treasures here and continue north to find that Seville has
been dispatched at long last...
.---------.---------.
| HP/MP | ATK/DEF |
.-------------------------------------+---------+---------+------------------.
| Lv. ?? Seville | ???/??? | ???/??? | DIFFICULTY: 6/10 |
| Lv. 46 Wyvern Slave (x2) | 409/120 | 208/24 |------------------'
| Lv. 23 Academy 1 Fighter (x2) | 105/00 | 75/12 |
'-------------------------------------'---------'---------'
Use Excitement/Strike Power to give the offense a sharper edge, and have
Velhart use MUSOU III. Magic Shield will also help a little, and if Theo's
with, use Card Field because the "White Shadow Duel Blade" can do 200+ in a
straight line...so don't stand in a straight line during this battle. Storm
Dance can do ~300 to a single target, which can only be stomached a few
times before someone's KO'd. He usually switches off, though, and uses Break
Slide to better effect than Galdo as well (~200 around him). Basically, Alec
should be on Cure duty, or someone can throw Potent Herbs in the mix as well.
This might be one of the few battles that poses some sort of challenge, and
if you don't have a Romancing Stone, it can definitely be a trial. Don't
forget about Omega BUSTER, though -- the sword skill can inflict a heckuvalot
of damage if you get the chance. If you surround Seville, he's more likely to
use "Psycho Blade," which is a weaker AoE attack around him. But anyway, the
Omega BUSTER attack basically mauled this guy, as opposed to Alec healing
every round and people doing crappy damage. Seville's got decent physical
defense, so don't think this is going to be a walk in the park. In all, he's
got about 1500 HP, a bit less than Galdo.
One he's a corpse, head north to the save/heal points and a [WISDOM TABLET].
North a few rooms, the Inner Sanctum can be found. This is where the struggle
to contain the Dark One fails, and the struggle to contain it begins... Hurry
'cause there ain't much time!
.---------.---------.
| HP/MP | ATK/DEF |
.-------------------------------------+---------+---------+------------------.
| Lv. ?? The Dark One (x6) | ???/??? | ???/??? | DIFFICULTY: 4/10 |
'-------------------------------------'---------'---------'------------------'
The targets are the six (6) eyeballs on the floor, but don't use physical
attacks or they'll immediately counterattack (100% of the time) for about
120 damage. Use Excitement/Card Field to help out, and use Magic Shield to
make the "Flashpoint" attack do less damaeg. It's fire-attribute and hits all
allies on the field, sadly... Either way, nothing to worry about if you
can take care of your party upkeep. The eyeballs have about 700 HP, so this
isn't such a big deal if you can break out a couple Omega BUSTERs.
When a couple eyes are dead, the "Water Torture" attack kicks in -- it's of
the element it seems like. Magic Shield reduces it to a mere ~100 damage or
so. "Evil Vortex" can inflict about ~175 on everyone, but it's used rarely.
I actually ended up beating this entire battle with three people (Anrietta
got set in the battle by default, since Elc wasn't usable) and still managed
to go through without too much hassle. Just make sure to travel in groups to
make Cure more effective.
.---------.---------.
| HP/MP | ATK/DEF |
.-------------------------------------+---------+---------+------------------.
| Lv. ?? The Dark One | ???/??? | ???/??? | DIFFICULTY: 4/10 |
'-------------------------------------'---------'---------'------------------'
Only one target this time. Excitement/Card Field ASAP, and use Magic Shield
when possible. The baddie uses "Vice Crop" to attack all those allies within
a close range, and since HP values are the same as the previous battle, keep
a close eye on such things! "Dark Flash" does about ~150 to all allies, but
isn't "deadly" in the same way instant death is deadly. =)
Chaotic Impulse often does single-digits, and if you gather in front of the
thing, you can bait into much use. Either way, Impulse Bombs & Omega BUSTERs
will make this battle surprisingly uneventful, and this dark lord seems to be
a little rusty from its long confinement... NOTE: Fatal Dagger can take off
300+ ALSO!
The one change-up is the "Advent of Demise" HP-absorb attack, which can take
back over 2800+ HP! If Fatal Dagger + Omega Buster is doing 1000+ damage per
turn (sometimes it can, sometimes it can't), this isn't much of a problem...
it's just an annoyance. Each time he uses it, he absorbs less and less, so
on the 2nd time, he gets about 1700; 3rd time he uses it, he gets about 1300,
etc.
Overall, I'd say the guy has about 10000 HP max, but you'll have to do more
than that because he heals it back. Kinda lame, but at least there's some
sort of challenge, yeah?
---
And that's the last boss battle in the game! Enjoy the ending scenes!

V. JOB RUNDOWN [JBRD]
_______________________________________________________________________________
�������������������������������������������������������������������������������
Jobs are the essence of ATL3, and are heavily relied upon, both for developing
the story and gaining items/goz. They can be either puzzle-solving, battle-
-oriented, dialogue missions, or a combination of each. Most have no bearing
on the story, but storyline jobs progress the plot and have to be done whether
one likes it or not. [NOTE: Sometimes storyline jobs tear Alec away from the
local ones he's working on. Make sure to complete all low-level jobs before
continuing!]
GUILD : Location of the guild
CLIENT: Client who is petitioning this job
MERITS: # of merits received for job complete
REWARD: Amount of $$ (goz) received for job complete
UNLOCK: Conditions that will make this job available
I will also note that, depending on how Alec and his team perform during the
job, the merits/reward can decrease. "Job Failed" rankings earn nothing,
while "Job Incomplete" offers few in either of the two said portions. It's
always best to save before attempting a job, particularly those that come w/
a warning from the local guildmaster.

JOB 01 - HUNTER REGISTRATION TEST [JB01]
===============================================================================
"This is technically a test and not a job. The Hunter Registration Test
requires prospective hunters to retrieve a fragment of the Ghost Dream
Crystal from the Trial Cave."
GUILD : Itio
CLIENT: Itio Guild
MERITS: 5

The Trial Cave is towards the riverhead, where the waterfall is on the world

Make sure you have all the supplies you need (equipment, Herbs) before setting
foot into here, 'cause you can't leave once you go in. Two screens in behind
the waterfall, there's a stall battle.
.------------------.--------.--------.----------.----------.------------------.
| Lv. 5 Slime | HP: 15 | MP: 0 | ATK: 30 | DEF: 10 | DIFFICULTY: 2/10 |
| Lv. 2 Cave Bat | HP: 15 | MP: 0 | ATK: 30 | DEF: 5 |------------------'
| Lv. 5 Sidewinder | HP: 26 | MP: 0 | ATK: 30 | DEF: 6 |
'------------------'--------'--------'----------'----------'
If your characters are LV5+, this will be gravy. Take out the slime and cave
bats (two each) first since they'll go down in one hit, and tango with the
Sidewinder snake when it nears. It can do a bit of damage, but nothing that
Cure can't smooth over. Use the various rocks and obstacles to prevent foes
from flanking you or snippin' at your aft side. Cave Bats heal themselves if
they land an attack (~10 HP), so don't let 'em wander around ciphoning health.
After battle, take the east enemy-less passage to two treasure chests. One's
got an [IRON KNIFE] and the other contains an [HERB]. Note that you'll have to
fight the same enemy group above once more, this time from the eastern side of
the room! Continue north from that first fork and get the [PALO NUT] stuck in
a rocky chest. This leads to a second battlesite.
.------------------.--------.--------.----------.----------.------------------.
| Lv. 2 Cave Bat | HP: 15 | MP: 0 | ATK: 30 | DEF: 5 | DIFFICULTY: 2/10 |
| Lv. 5 Sidewinder | HP: 26 | MP: 0 | ATK: 30 | DEF: 6 |------------------'
'------------------'--------'--------'----------'----------'
Two of each this time, with the Sidewinders nearest. One long-range attack of
throwing knives lets Alec finish 'em off, so there's no xtreme strategy one's
to employ here. You can probably finish off the cave bats with a single
counterattack. Just defend the first turn (idle) and don't bother advancing to
the southern portion of the room because stalagmites and such block the clear
path. One weird thing I noticed is that if a cave bat absorbs HP and someone
counters it, even if it should be dead, that HP it absorbed keeps it alive...
Heal up and continue south to the Trial Cave's B2-A floor.
.------------------.--------.--------.----------.----------.------------------.
| Lv. 2 Cave Bat | HP: 15 | MP: 0 | ATK: 30 | DEF: 5 | DIFFICULTY: 1/10 |
| Lv. 5 Sidewinder | HP: 26 | MP: 0 | ATK: 30 | DEF: 6 |------------------'
'------------------'--------'--------'----------'----------'
Same as before except with one less Sidewinder. Take that out first and bash
some skulls on the bats. It's easy fights like that make me not want to stick
in a strategy...
Continue north to an west/east fork. Go east first and into the room with the
large pit in the middle. Get an [IRON SPEAR] for your troubles and continue
north until another fork is found. Continue east into a room with four chests!
Two [SHIMMER STONE]s, a [FALCON STATUE], and a [PALO NUT] can be found within.
Back at the fork, take the other one that curves north and back west. This'll
lead to a room with two savepoints. The red one refills HP/MP and the other's
a normal one. Before you continue, take the southern exit here until it comes
to another room...
.------------------.--------.--------.----------.----------.------------------.
| Lv. 6 Ogre | HP: 40 | MP: 60 | ATK: 39 | DEF: 5 | DIFFICULTY: 3/10 |
| Lv. 5 Sidewinder | HP: 26 | MP: -- | ATK: 30 | DEF: 6 |------------------'
'------------------'--------'--------'----------'----------'
A little harder than normal with the inclusion of Ogres, who may cast a couple
magic spells. They start near each other, so defeat the nearest Sidewinder to
make sure they don't all tag-team someone at once. This is a good battle to
use Force Ring in, although any enemies that get killed by other monsters do
not give EXP to your allies. Ogres have horrible defense as you can see, so it
isn't a trial to take one down each round. Lutz can use 'Steal' (learned at
LV7) to take Herbs from the big pink monsters if he needs to.
Take the [SHIMMER STONE] from the chest and backtrack to the savepoints. Raid
the chest for another [SHIMMER STONE]. Inspect the large crystalline door by
here and choose to push on it, which opens the thing. Inside is the crystal's
keeper, Tengaron...who's also the same guy who was at the guild earlier...
.------------------.---------.--------.---------.----------.------------------.
| Lv. 8 Tengaron | HP: 155 | MP: 50 | ATK: 40 | DEF: 7 | DIFFICULTY: 4/10 |
'------------------'---------'--------'---------'----------'------------------'
A boss who uses guns and doesn't summon minions to do his legwork -- I like
this dude's style! His attack can do roughly about the same as an Ogre (~20),
but he's got a range of two so he'll try not to let anyone counterattack him
if possible. Don't stand next to each other since this means he can obviously
attack two people at once! Use Alec's Cure to get through, and have Lutz try
to steal a 'Fur Cape' from him. You should have plenty of opportunities if the
average party level is 8+. Should you find this hard, fight the ogre battles
and return to the healing point repeatedly.
Tengaron allows the party to get a [CRYSTAL FRAGMENT] from this most holiest
of holy sites (to him), so it's time to scoot back to Itio. Everyone leaves
the cave automatically, anyway.

JOB 02 - PROTECT MEDICINAL SUPPLIES [JB02]

"The town herbologist, Lendal, has requested that his house be guarded while
he is away on business. See Lendal at his home in Itio for details."
GUILD : Itio
CLIENT: Lendal
MERITS: 6
REWARD: 80G
UNLOCK: ---
Lendal's house is in Itio, southwest of the guild headquarters. The game'll
direct you to it, but if you forget, it's the one with a pink mailbox. There,
it seems that his crates have to be guarded since they're full of valuable &
rare plantlife...and it's babysitting time for his kid, Kobal! After a failed
drug dropoff (LOL?), there will be some mice in the crates. Time for a.......
MINIGAME!
The mice will jump around the four boxes here. Use the x-button in front of
the crate where it was last to catch it. You need to catch all three mice in
the space of 5 tries to get the best outcome for this job. It's rather easy,
as long as you can follow the last box with your eyes (this isn't similar to
whack-a-mole or anything). LOL @ "Grab that freak!" If you accomplish this
job to a satisfactory degree, Lendal gives Alec an [HERB] as thanks.

JOB 03 - SUPPLIES FOR HUNTER JAY [JB03]
===============================================================================
"We have received an emergency request for supplies from the Wanted Monster
Specialist known as Jay. He is at Kiska Marsh or the Lukae Riverbank."
GUILD : Itio
CLIENT: Itio Guild
MERITS: 6
REWARD: 100G
UNLOCK: ---
Jay needs some supplies, being a Vigor Seed and Adventurer Vest. The cost of
the items is worked into the bounty, which translates to the player's got to
shell out the cash to get 'em him/herself. The guildmaster gives [120G] over
so Alec doesn't "stream in his shorts" though. Go to the shop in the SE part
of town and buy said items; if you already have one or both, then you won't
need to purchase them.
He can be found at Lukae Riverbank, but you can pick either. If you visit
him at Kiska Marsh, he won't be there and you'll have to tango with some of
the local wildlife.
.------------------.--------.--------.----------.----------.------------------.
|Lv. 7 Pit Scorpion| HP: 11 | MP: 20 | ATK: 38 | DEF: 15 | DIFFICULTY: 2/10 |
|Lv. 5 Slime | HP: 15 | MP: -- | ATK: 30 | DEF: 10 |------------------'
'------------------'--------'--------'----------'----------'
The Pit Scorpion's got great defense, so make sure Alec takes that one out if
you want it to go down in one hit. The Slimes are like jell-o and anything'll
cut 'em up. Yawn? Just remember that Pit Scorpions can use an attack that can
inflict 'Gravity' status.
If you visit Jay at Lukae Riverbank, he won't be there either...
.------------------.--------.--------.----------.----------.------------------.
|Lv.6 SlumberFlower| HP: 33 | MP: 30 | ATK: 32 | DEF: 06 | DIFFICULTY: 2/10 |
'------------------'--------'--------'----------'----------'------------------'
Just a couple of baddies. The difficulty rating goes to reflect that they can
slam the allies in the vicinity with sleep status, but they've still got poor
defense. Tag-team 'em to take 'em out.
After defeating those at Lukae, Jay shows up! Say that you've brought his junk
for him, and hand the seed/vest over.
===============================================================================
JOB 04 - NASTY CREATURES IN THE HOUSE [JB04]
===============================================================================
"A client named Nate has requested help in a vacant house he owns in Itio. He
is having trouble with monsters and would like them removed ASAP. Contact Nate
at the house for details."
GUILD : Itio
CLIENT: Nate
MERITS: 7
REWARD: 120G
UNLOCK: ---
The Vacant House is right next door to the guild (spooky!) and looks all run
down and such. It turns out that the 'blood-red eyes and fangs' the client's
seeing through the floorboards are not demonic creatures, but mice! Yeah, it
is another mice job. There are seven holes and seven boxes to plug them up
with...but you can only PUSH boxes, meaning this can mess up pretty easily.
If you mess up, use the triangle button and 'Reset' the room to its default
formation. Here's the order you should plug the holes.
01) From where Alec starts, push box he's looking at north.
02) Push box that was right beside that one left until it's on HOLE #1
03) On the right side of room push opened crate north and east onto HOLE #2
04) By staircase, push the box left onto HOLE #3
05) Push the box by the counter south once, then one right of there south to
where the entrance is. Push it right onto HOLE #4
06) Push the box NW of the large table north and left onto HOLE #5
07) Push the box north of the large table west once, north as far as it will
go, and right once onto HOLE #6
08) The only box left should be near the left counter. Push it south once and
east until it's against the wall. Push it north onto HOLE #7.
Nate comes downstairs after and the job is el completo.

JOB 05 - EXAMINER'S ASSISTANT [JB05]

GUILD : Itio
CLIENT: Itio Guild
MERITS: 8
REWARD: 100G
UNLOCK: Complete one job at Itio Guild
Time to help Tengalon with some wussy hunter recruits. Luckily, you don't have
to backtrack into the Trial Cave manually. Some selfish-minded people want to
be Hunters, so the caped guardian decides that Lutz and Alec can take care of
things themselves. Whuh?
.------------------.--------.--------.----------.----------.------------------.
| Lv. 7 Swordsman | HP: 30 | MP: 20 | ATK: 43 | DEF: 07 | DIFFICULTY: 2/10 |
| Lv. 7 Apprentice | HP: 15 | MP: 140| ATK: 26 | DEF: 05 |------------------'
'------------------'--------'--------'----------'----------'
Two of each here. Go for the Apprentices first since they can use magic and
won't spare any snot-nosed kid who gets in their way from seein' some. On the
alternative path, use Alec's Silent magic if you have it to stop 'em in their
tracks. The Swordsmen will use Empower to raise their ATK, so don't hesitate
to use Silent on them as well! They can do 30+ damage if let run rampant, so
whatever you do, don't let them gang up! Use the two rocks in the center of
the battlefield for protection. You can steal Bronze Swords from the armored
units, but really, those suck and are wastes of time anyway.
Defeat them all and the job's over.
===============================================================================
JOB 06 - CHASE THE MONSTER EGG TRUNK [JB06]
===============================================================================
"The Innkeeper in Itio accidentally mixed up a guest's trunk with one
containing a monster egg. Contact client to correct dangerous mistake."
GUILD : Itio
CLIENT: Innkeeper Balpus
MERITS: 8
REWARD: 150G
UNLOCK: Complete two jobs at the Itio Guild
As the guildmaster warns, this job will prevent you from doing any others in
Itio. ONLY ACCEPT IF YOU HAVE DONE ALL OTHER JOBS and/or HAVE COMPLETED ALL
THE OUTLAW JOBS! You'll not be able to do them again. To continue with this
mission, go to the inn and talk to the innkeeper. He's accidentally switched
a trunk with someone who was headed to Forestamore (someone you should be
familiar with if you played Arc the Lad 1 or 2). Obtain the [GUEST'S TRUNK]
and exit in the southwest corner of the city to find Itio Port.
Unfortunately, as some pirate wannabe tells everyone, the ship can't sail 'til
the captain is back. Go to the pub (down street from port entrance) and fetch
the guy from Shante's captive audience, then return back to the ship. Prepare
(buy equipment, items you need) and tell him you're ready to carve up some of
the high seas.
The job is complete after reaching Renn and visiting the Monster Society.
===============================================================================
JOB 07 - FETCH THE RUNAWAY BOY [JB07]
===============================================================================
"The Monster Society reports Theo, a young aspiring Cardist, left to explore
Sealed Ruins near the Great Scar, alone. The Guild requests his safe return."
GUILD : Renn
CLIENT: Renn Monster Society
MERITS: 9
REWARD: 180G
UNLOCK: Mandatory
After visiting the Monster Society, visit the guild. Alec and Lutz cannot go
until they've accepted this job. The guildmaster suggests going back to the
RMS to learn about the best way for infiltrating the ruins, while the woman
who was worried about Theo says the destination is past Venica.

JOB 08 - RENN HUNTERS' MONSTER ASSAULT [JB08]

GUILD : Renn
CLIENT: Renn Hunter Guild
MERITS: 8
REWARD: 200G
UNLOCK: Complete Great Scar events and get Theo in the party
Alec's crew and the other hunters participating head to the pass rendezvous
point. He'll act as a last resort to prevent monsters from getting through
Corelia, and soon enough, an Opossum appears. o_O
.------------------.--------.--------.----------.----------.------------------.
| Lv. 1 Opossum | HP: 18 | MP: 08 | ATK: 24 | DEF: 05 | DIFFICULTY: 1/10 |
'------------------'--------'--------'----------'----------'------------------'
It'll probably die in one hit, so there's no reason giving a strategy.
One of the female hunters says she'll ask Aura, the leader of the excursion,
to move everyone closer to the blood 'n' guts near the frontline. Lutz, being
the headstrong dork he is, leaves to go fight and draws some enemies closer.
.------------------.--------.--------.----------.----------.------------------.
| Lv. 02 Viper | HP: 24 | MP: -- | ATK: 26 | DEF: 06 | DIFFICULTY: 4/10 |
| Lv. 13 Wild Dog | HP: 47 | MP: -- | ATK: 68 | DEF: 08 |------------------'
'------------------'--------'--------'----------'----------'
The Wild Dogs have poor defense but their ATK can do 35+ to a target! Whatever
you do, don't let them gang up on someone, especially Theo, who is probably in
his single-digit levels still. The wolfies are closer to the front, so draw
'em close, attack them from two panels away, and let Alec finish 'em off. Use
Herbs to heal, or Alec's Cure spell for multiple targets.
Job complete after this battle, and some scenes w/ Aura.

JOB 09 - MODEL FOR A TROUBLED PAINTER [JB09]
===============================================================================
"The Inn owner, Dan, seeks assistance for his guest, Girth, a talented young
painter suffering from creative block. Respond to the Inn to model for Girth
and offer artistic advice."
GUILD : Renn
CLIENT: Innkeeper Dan
MERITS: 5
REWARD: 160G
UNLOCK: Complete Great Scar events and get Theo in the party
The inn's in the northwest corner of town. Once there, learn that Girth wanted
some 'sea air' -- i.e., return to the dock area. This will begin a minigame to
give him some creative spark. Pressing one of three buttons commands the party
members to move about in an effort to strike up a correct pose for Girth. Alec
is commanded with [], Theo with X, and Lutz with O. When Girth calls out the
ally name, press the button it's associated with to move him. You need to get
it perfect (about 10-15 inputs) to move onto the 2nd and 3rd rounds which work
the same way. The one good thing is that the inputs never change their pattern
and they get progressively shorter.
If you fail too many times (four?), you fail the job.
===============================================================================
JOB 10 - CHASE AWAY THE SUSPICIOUS MAN [JB10]
===============================================================================
"A strange man has been prowling around Mina's house, watching her. She would

guild."
GUILD : Renn

Mina's house is just down the street, west of the guild. She wants Alec and

of events, everyone heads to Noalis Forest nearby. A suspicious man flees
when he sees monsters, so it's up to the party to take of 'em.
.------------------.--------.--------.----------.----------.------------------.
| Lv13 Crimson Roc | HP: 38 | MP: 25 | ATK: 56 | DEF: 07 | DIFFICULTY: 2/10 |

| Lv1PoisonMushroom| HP: 24 | MP: 16 | ATK: 22 | DEF: 06 |
'------------------'--------'--------'----------'----------'
Two of each, except for the roc. Wait about one turn to get the enemies into
a group and use Knife Rain/Force Ring/Silent to help incapacitate their skills
in one go. If Theo's low-leveled, keep him out of the fray 'cause he's a large
damage magnet...unless you've got a particularly powerful Summon he can do.

JOB 11 - NEW PARENT FOR THE BABY MONSTER [JB11]

Return to the center (NE corner of town, remember?) and see what's up with the
penguin monster. The chief says that there's apparently someone who lives in
the mountains north of Vernica who may take it in, and recommends talking to
the elder for details. This Vernica is a town north of Renn, so head there.
At the northern end of town's the elder's house, near a large barn. Apparently
a woman named Lieza (ring a bell, ATL2 fans?) can take care of them, up past
Astorny Bridge. Head towards the large house with a windmill and enter the
bridge area to find Lieza's pet monster (Paundit) guarding the bridge and not
letting anyone across. The village elder suggests returning to Vernica to get
an item that may calm it. <sigh>
Re-enter the elder's house to learn about Hannah, someone who lives nearby.
Enter the house with all the flowers by it to learn a Calm Nut may help make
Paundit shut his mouth (:p). Hannah apparently planted some at Noalis Forest,
but Crimson Rocs ate 'em all. Before going to Noalis Forest near Renn, raid
the storehouse near the elder's digs for a [MAGIC POWER NUT], [MAGIC SPRIG],
[RED TALISMAN], and a [BLUE TALISMAN].

There's five of these suckers, and you saw the carnage they can do when they
get the chance. Pre-empt their own Silent-inflicting skill with Alec's Silent
ability, because not being able to cure sucks hard here. Use Alec mainly to
Cure and have Theo use a summon to even the playing field. This sets up Knife
Rain to do potentially multiple KO's in one turn. Don't wait for counterattack
kills, or you may get screwed (they do seem to use Hypno Eyes a lot, though,
so you may get lucky). Cardish also works for getting rid of some of these
fools.
Everyone finds a [CALM NUT] afterwards! Return to Astorny Bridge and feed the
depressant to Paundit, which lets everyone proceed to Lieza's Ranch. She'll
say the thing's lonely and agree to take care of it. Easy as pie!
Don't forget to get the [AMAZING HERB], [RECOVERY TONIC], [SOOTHING RING],
[LIGHT ALLOY], and [MAGIC APPLE] in her storehouse.

The Chief ends up leaving his men to do the footwork, and they block the
west end of the bridge...this'll be a close-range fight. They have a large
gun radius and can hit multiple targets at once AND you can't counter their
gunshot blasts, even at one panel away. They're also immune to Silence and
Confusion (but don't hesitate to use Force Ring for the widespread damage if
you need to). They mostly use physical attacks, but the red-colored bandits
can use 'Circle Riot' to hit allies around them in a large radius for about
35 HP. I've found the best way is to use Cardish on an Ogre at Noalis Forest
and summon it in battle, doing about 40 damage to all allies. Since they'll
clump together on the second turn, you can take out the rest with Knife Rain
or similar pretty easily. Definitely use this strategy if you're having some
trouble!!! [NOTE: The green bandits can only shoot in a straight fashion.]
After kicking the bandits' rumps, they leave after some lame philsophizing.

Talk to Baguba in the shop to get the [MYSTERIOUS OBJECT]. Apparently, the
item society is in...Society Village. Return to the docks to learn that this
place is on the same continent as Forestamore but can't be reached by land or
sea. Theo comes up with the cockamammy idea to use a flying monster's card to
get over the mountains; this can be found at the Monster Society in town.
The chief won't give the card over unless three other cards are traded, being
a Hemo-ji, Dandelion, and Slime. However, you can't go back to the previous
continent to get the cards, so you'll have to do some in-town trading.
� WILD HEMO-JI - The girl (Len) inside of the Monster Society will trade
this card for a Crimson Roc. Cardish one in Noalis Forest
and trade it back.
� DANDELION - Talk to Hannah in Vernica, then go to the Great Scar and
Cardish one. Be careful; it's Lv. 19! Use Force Ring to
lower its HP and then turn it into a card. =p
� SLIME - The sailor at the docks has the Slime card but wants the
party to give him a hand before they get it. Loading some
clay jars and wooden boxes will occur -- Alec will have to
count how many are loaded. If you're bad at remembering,
feel free to tally 'em up (I got 6 of each). He gives over
the card when you do it correctly.
When all are collected, return to the Renn Monster Society building and get
the Flying Fire card. At Lieza's ranch, she says this is a one-way trip; if

Talk to the innkeeper to learn a woman keeps talking about her death, and

a memento of her son Peter was stolen recently, and it's the last thing that
connects her to him. Let's beat up some thugs and reclaim it...it being a
spear...
The guy says that stolen stuff ends up in the Danger Dome, so head down over
there (in the SE part of town, which you're already aware of). A guy there
will have the spear that was stolen, so wager something rather useless by
this point (I used a Bronze Sword) before the fight begins. Theo is the only
applicable fighter here.

| Lv. 17 Spear Hunter | 101/100 | 58/06 | DIFFICULTY: 4/10 |
'-------------------------------------'---------'---------'------------------'
Theo's stats aren't exactly top-notch, but Card Field can boost his defense
so that regular attacks do lame single-digit damage. The hunter's Spear Toss
ability can do ~17 if Theo has 48 defense. Use a powerful offensive summon
card such as 'Wild Dog' to deal your damage, rather than using physical
attacks which can be countered since he's got a spear. Also make sure to back
up against the railing so the hunter can't jab Theo from behind. Make sure
you use Card Field or you'll find yourself in a bad position!
After winning, you'll receive the [SILVER SARISSA] and automatically deliver
it to the woman. However, even though she accepts the spear, everyone thinks
it's NOT the right one. So, let's search for the real one then... This time,
go to the pub near the guild. A guy there will have the spear, and wants you
to fight him in the Danger Dome to get it back. Theo'll be the one fighting
alone, again (I bet another Bronze Sword...lol?).

He'll probably get first strike and do ~30dmg, but follow the same path as
you did before: Card Field -> offensive card summon. When you run out of
those, use physical attacks. Note that if you're having trouble healing, you
can create Amazing Herbs that refill 100 HP in Society Village by mixing two
regular Herbs. If you can't manage that, back up against the fence to prevent
back attacks (the corner works best).
Once he's defeated, you'll get Peter's real spear. Rush back to the suicidal
woman (why give her a weapon in the first place?) and she'll brighten up at
the site of the thing. Job completeeee! Plus, she gives the [SILVER SARISSA]
back to Theo as a present. Yay!

be confused as well, so make sure to inflict it if possible. Remember: she
who is confused may waste her turn doing nothing, plus her counterattacking

The easiest way to defeat these guys within four turns is to use Theo's
card summons, which will take out the sidewinders (who are furthest away to
boot) and Cardish monsters that remain. Use Force Ring on the remaining
Desert Devils since their high attack power means, if they attack a comrade,

Since HP/MP is depleting each active turn, you'll want to make the most of
what you have so you can finish this quickly. Use Card Field and Silent to
help tip the odds in your favor, then use Force Ring to inflict confusion.
Remember that enemies under confused status may 'forget' to do anything in
a turn, which helps since physical attacks incurred can do 50+! If you're
lucky, the enemy will attack its comrade and OHKO it by doing 80+ damage!
Use Amazing Herbs and Alec's Cure ability to heal en masse, and this may not
be such a problem in the latter turns. Oh, and you can use Cardish to help
take some of the load off. Yay!
To show there's no hard feelings, Dorvan attempts to sell the party a bunch
of junk weapons, Apple Extract, and some other crap for 100G. If you have
the cash to spare, go for it; you can resell them for more goz later on.

As the guildmaster says, finish any other jobs before you take this one;
otherwise, they'll be aborted and racked up in a negative manner. When you
take it, head to Society Village's Item Society to learn someone needs to
get a 'Tough Alloy'. He suggests checking the Gislem Pub (?) for clues...
Pay the bartender 100g for information -- Cheryl's got the Tough Alloy,
to no surprise. It's another 100g to learn she's been summoned to the Danger
Dome, and ANOTHER 100g to learn Gudan's Gang is behind the...subpoena. >___>
Find Cheryl delivering the smackdown inside, and when the tables turn, it's
Alec and co.'s job to do the same.

Buff your defense with Card Field, then cast Silent on the lot as they start
close together. Mass-damage attacks like a decently-leveled Knife Rain and
Force Ring will really push this battle to a quick finish. Any offensive
summon cards you have (PA-200 for example) can be put to good use here, if
you get slighted somehow. No one has anything to steal, either.
After the battle, Cheryl gives them the [TOUGH ALLOY] and leaves. Bring it to

These guys were a pain back in the day, but now we have mass-damage summons

sets them right up for a LV3 offensive attack such as Knife Rain/Force Ring,
so lead off with that. Most have shotguns, but a few have sniper rifles that
only shoot in a straight path -- but all are long-range fighters. It's funny

confused, as this will be a very nice load off your back...sort of. Defeat
the Dragoon as it uses 'Paralysis Swirl' to annoy you; Lutz has Refresh so

to destroy the monsters or at least weaken them all in one fell swoop. Try to
spread out as well, so the party doesn't all get targeted by one paralyzing

you can (they're drops also). Too bad they can't be carded. =/
The Secret Path Cheryl talks about is south of Gislem where that small cave
is. Make sure you're fully-healed and have saved the game already before you
go inside (see walkthrough for details on getting through). On the other
side, enter Testa and its Item Society building. You'll learn that the place

All their attack stats are buffed, which is why gaining the upper hand is

gather information about this "something" that is on the horizon (Bazaar
area is not affected so no need to search there). Apparently, there's been
a strange man around town as well... Time to check the pub, inn, and all

it's a good idea to talk to all the people. When you've collected enough
info, Alec suggests heading back to Tosh's digs. There, a furious Tosh
will tagalong incognito to see for himself. The pattern Alec has pieced
together is:
Item Society -> Pub -> Monster Society -> Weapon Society -> Inn
You have ten (10) chances to find him by searching the buildings before
Tosh relieves you of the job and does the work himself (i.e. job failure).
The quickest way to complete this is, as soon as you leave Tosh's Manor,
go to the Item Society then the Monster Society -- this catches him in the
act. If you follow the pattern, you'll always be one step behind, y'see...?
Anyway, he escapes because Alec holds Tosh back from murdering the charlatan,
so there's gotta be a plan to lure him outside of where the villagers can be
hurt... Hell Plain is the best idea. You have to search town for him, but it
as easy as going to the southwest fenced-in area. Lutz will lure him down to
the monster-ridden area...

Talk to the man at said location to learn a hired Hunter ditched a bunch of
this shopkeeper's merchandise inside of the Secret Path, when monsters came
and attacked. They're going to the shop in Gislem after they're collected.
There was a rare-item gift for the shopkeeper in Gislem as well, but this
man knows nothing of it 'cause he didn't pick it out. It's supposed to be a
pair of "matched opposite items," also. O_O
Inside, look for sparkles on the ground that denote dropped items. Since we

JOB 46 - ALL HUNTERS, FIND TIKVA! [JB46]
===============================================================================
"A Paysus Hunter, Tikva, stole the Water Control Scroll from Amaidar Temple

ancient document."
GUILD : Paysus
CLIENT: Paysus Guild
MERITS: 10
REWARD: 200G
UNLOCK: Available when coming to Paysus the first time (it's mandatory)
The guildmaster says this Tikva is a little older than Alec and very bright,
using the ruse of a job to steal the scroll. Since the monks helped rebuild
Paysus, everyone owes them an unpayable debt -- that's why the town is in an
uproar. Well, let's begin.
First, visit Tikva's House in the northeastern part of town. The leader of
this capture expedition will ask Alec to visit the temple and get details
on the how and why of this situation, and also drops a hint that Tikva went
to the Spell Institute in Rusaht. Stroll to the temple first to learn the
culprit cast a spell on the monks in order to make off with the artifact.
Down in Rusaht's college, a man directs everyone to talk to Marsia about the
"strange spell" that was used. She'll "join" the party after some events, and
then it's back to Amaidar. This time, the Archmonk Iga (another person from
ATL2) allows passage inside. Apparently, Tikva told the monks that a monster
had broken into the temple and when someone say him stealing the scroll, he
was overcome by a strange force. In a flashback, it shows Tikva using some
sort of handheld device to drain strength from the monks (and where have we
seen those who use such things...hmm...).
Return to the Institute to find the professors sprawled out on the floor.
Tikva will incapacitate everyone but let it slip that a "flood control
experiment" is imminent. Check with the Paysus Guild to be tasked with a bit
of interrogation duty on the townspeople; head to the library to learn about
the Academy's plans for the Romastor River. Head west of Rusaht to get there.
A battle with our gigantor spearman takes place here.

He'll use Agility Bellow to increase his evasion abilities and he can't be
inflicted with Silence. Use Card Field to increase defense because he'll
increase his ATK as well. Attacks like Impulse Bomb do more damage than any
magic, why is why it's better to leave Marsia out of this battle (plus her
DEF sucks like a vacuum). Watch out for the 'Hyper Galdo' attack which can
do 100+ to one ally, and just keep using attacks like Impulse Bomb and any
decent card summon. After five or six turns the battle will be over.
After explaining the situation to Iga (automatically), Tikva's sentence
is doled out and this job's complete once Alec returns to the guild. Marsia
also joins this party permanently from now on.

Save at the inn before starting, which is good advice from the guildmaster,
'cause you can't leave once you go in the Library. Morzat will say the one
of the depository's prized books has had a page torn out. He's gathered the
possible culprits on the 2nd floor. The suspects:
� YONAN - He's always in the library (looks like a small kid in red)
� CALPUNI - A Spell Institute student (man dressed in beige)
� MR. GANTS - Always leaves in a hurry (wears vest & purple pants)
� SOME MONK - Very cooperative & nice (wears a white mask)
� MULAR - Bldg.'s head librarian (black hair and bluish shirt)
Morzat wants to be informed of the thief when it's found out.
If you talk with everyone, you'll find that Yonan mentions a "princess and
her retainers" as the illustration, information that was not given at any
time. Yonan DID do it; however, to get the best outcome of this job, you need
to poke holes in his story. If you don't, Marsia will convict him on her gut
instinct and the job will just get an 'okay' rating.
So, instead of accusing him right off the bat, do the alibi inspection event
downstairs. Theo will act out Yonan's place, and since he's the liar, he'll
always "mess" up the order. Just make sure the other two characters' have a
good position before picking to bring everyone downstairs (Lutz -> Cheryl is
the correct order). Job complete if you figured out the alibis and suspected
Yonan!

do 100+ damage most likely (a little less for their counterattacks). Since
they'll have a penchant for surrounding one ally and beatin' on 'em, this'll

Ride to the Institute's practice hall to find Salubari. He needs the scroll

Doan is at the peak of Mt. Amaidar -- everyone heads there automatically. He
cannot give it up without some sort of tribulation, however, so he'll ask a
bunch of questions that have to be answered.
� 01 - A traveler is lying on the earth after his long journey. What is in
his eyes? [ANSWER: Diamonds]
� 02 - The earth goes on forever, and it ends at the edge of the forever.

� 03 - A rocky mountain is stricken by thunder and crumbles away. From its

would remain standing in the end? [ANSWER: The lawyers]
After guessing, he says the questions have no meaning (d'oh!) and the true
trial is about to begin. In each chest nearby is a talisman, representing the
guardians: Light, Fire, Earth, Wind, and Water. The challenge is to fight
against the monsters he summons while simultaneously collecting the talismans.

BEWARE: Collect all talismans before defeating the last monster, or you will
not get the best ranking on this job. The enemies are pretty lame expectedly,
and can (maybe) die even with a counterattack, so waste no time in completing
the main task. Since collecting chest contents does not use up a turn, try
to position a character with decent MOV in the range of two chests, so s/he
can make use of the turn.

Once the funeral service is over, Salubari gives a snippet of info about

After awhile, one really has to wonder what's up with these HORRIBLE starting
formations the enemies are placed in. Any Lv. 3 spell can hit them all, and
even on previous turns, they start so close to the allies that the upper hand
isn't likely to change. The best course of action is to use Card Field as the
"Amaidar Fist" attack can be rather damaging in its plus-formation attack. As
for Harzan, his attack is through the roof so it's best to blitzkreig him
before he can really put on the hurt...and that's not too hard, with his poor
DEF rating.
After hearing Harzan's tale, also interview the 5 monks you trounced before
talking to the 6th monk to leave. Note that these two people do not make a
job complete -- talk to _every_ NPC you can find, in the library, in Rusaht,
etc. Not all are neeed, but as a precaution, talk to everyone you can find.
LOL @ "The only memento I have left from him is a vacuum cleaner belt." o_O

for the good news... Anyway, talk to the plainclothes person at the peak and,
when Kurt tries to leave, it's time to sneak out. Pick the option that has to
do with a plan -- this will start a "Monk Misdirection" minigame. The rules:
� The object is to help lovelorn, clueless Kurt get down the mountain to
Nana. Try and keep Kurt away from the monks. However, if a monk
approaches, walk up to him and talk, blocking his view. If you fail five
times, the job will be over, and counted as a failure.
� MONK MISDIRECTION CONTROLS: Press x to talk with Kurt or any monk. While
you have the attention of the monk, he won't be able to see Kurt. While
you engage one monk, Kurt and the other monks will continue to move. Use
Triangle to cancel a conversation. You can direct Kurt by talking to him
from the direction you want him to go.
It sounds difficult...until you do it. Monks can identify Kurt only when he
is directly in front of their face, i.e. their line of sight goes straight
only. By talking to Kurt, you can tell him to follow you for a bit. The big
problem here is that monks can obstruct crucial paths, so no matter of
detaining can budge them from their set course. When Kurt reaches the top
of the southern stairway, the second level of Monk Misdirection begins.
There are only three monks here, so it's not that hard. The destination is
the plank bridge in the south once again. Most monks patrol the north, but
one dawdles by the SW part. Make sure Alec obstructs his view so that Kurt
can escape. After getting through this 2nd course, it's a job complete!
...well, not really. Alba and his crew show up for some reason. When Kurt

weak attack on up to three panels is all she will have, then. Card Field to
help break their attack down a bit, also. One fun thing to do here is have
Lutz use Fatal Dagger to take off 100s of HP...if it hits, that is. As long
as Alec survives and can cast Resurrection, this shouldn't be too much of a
problem. Still, fun fight!

try Fatal Dagger as well. And, if you didn't pick up on it, Marsia's horrible
DEF should dissuade you from having her in-battle -- what a liability! Don't

As before, this job will also take top priority so complete any unfinished
jobs prior to undertaking this. The locations for this job are Parute Desert,
Dartanelle Beach, and Tolarka Ruins. Dartanelle's had strong monster problems
lately, Tolarka Ruins baddies are rather average, and Parute Desert's are too
weak to even bother with almost.
Alec will have to pair up the teams to suit the areas. Interview the Hunters
to find out their strengths, being (from left to right)
� Man w/ Sword = Strong
� Woman w/ Sword = Crappy
� Man with Rifle = Mediocre
� Redshirted Man = Crappy
� Woman with Bag = Strong
� Man with Spear = Mediocre
If Alec pairs them up for the jobs correctly, he should not have to fight a
single monster himself. The correct order is:
DARTANELLE BEACH = Man w/ Sword + Woman with Bag
TOLARKA CASTLE = Man with Rifle + Man with Spear
PARUTE DESERT = Woman w/ Sword + Redshirted Man
Afterwards, Alec will go onto the field to see how the hunters are faring
with their assignments. If you chose the above hunters/locations, everything
will be tiptop...until Parute Desert. Remember the story of Enea's commander

Wow, how's that for "crappy monsters"!? Card Field immediately and cast Brain
Blast if Alec has it, in the attempt to inflict paralysis (or if you have a
card that does that same thing, use that). Still, no matter how high HP the
enemy has, you can use Fatal Dagger to whittle it down to a very small amount,

Once there, talk to the man in the NW corner. He'll make a special exception

The monk can cure himself, so inflict Silence to prevent it. His attacks're
very powerful (100+/per), but it shouldn't force Alec into a self-curefest
or anything. Use Impulse Bomb to straighten the guy out. Whichever enemy you
fight first, you'll have to fight the second one in the semi-finals, which is
why you should take out the toughest (Monk) first. 'Supersonic Wave', one of
the swordmaster's attacks, can hit for about 60-75dmg, and he counterattacks

he's a big hack! Cast Silent on him and Impulse Bomb him to death. Note that
his 'Spear Toss' attack is weaker than his normal one, but just to be safe,
silencing him's the best course of action. Use the arena periphery to stop

should retreat to the west edge, protect his back, and Impulse Bomb from
afar. If you think you need to Cure, do so! This speed demon may surprise

use the west side to protect Alec's back, and Impulse Bomb the heck outta
Velhart. He's immune to silence and paralysis, so don't waste any time on
those avenues. Velhart attacks from the front a lot of the time, which sets
up a bunch of counterattacks, too. Well, there's that noble spirit for ya.
Velhart steals the trophy, unfortunately, and conspires with the Academy

Wouldn't you be depressed if your name was Catch Mamaman? Either way, find

get the 'fire' back he had in his earlier days. The solution evades him, but
each member comes up with an idea to help him. Cheryl's idea in particular

to put the execution phase in gear...but where to find lovey-dovey pairs to
battle each other? Alec and crew find a bunch, but as expected, there's a
problem from the get-go...everyone wants a different type of partner!
To pass this job, at least one good pair has to be made to headline the next
tournament of this sort. Talking to the participants will garner information
about their ideal mates:
� Spicy --------> Wants adventurous partner and is good at healing
� Natasia ------> Partner good with a blade, but not a ninja
� Izabel -------> Partner who uses firearms, but not a ninja
� Zenden -------> Person good at long-range, but not a swordfighter

� Hakan --------> Uses fists, but doesn't like guns
� Pamela -------> Great healer and admires spear-users; hates ninja
� Clea ---------> Partner good at close-range fighting, likes fistfighters
but hates ninja
With this in mind, the best pair is Zenden & Pamela. However, we still need

Meet up with Iga at the temple to learn that when one is dejected, the mind
closes and advancement is difficult or nigh impossible. Over at the Proving
Grounds, talk to each of the monk several times (max: 3/per) to learn that
they are starting to feel like they know theirselves more than they know the
world around them, and it's starting to wear on 'em -- to wit, they lack any
purpose.
The Archmonk comes up with the idea of having Alec share his experiences w/
the monks; agree to do so. Pick who will tell their tale, and after they've
gone, it will all be an exercise in futility. Velhart's tale will turn into
a challenge, mano e mano!

The ease, the ease! You can use Omega BUSTER to deal HP based off of how much
Velhart's lost; this can OHKO most monks. Also, if you've learned MUSOU I you
can completely prevent physical-attack damage for three turns. Monks'll use
Amaidar Fist which should be single-digit DMG by now. This fight will be done
six times in a row.

After accepting to undertake this mission, it will be possible to access the
cavern in the lower part of South Sularto. This place is a rather tricky maze
of a location, so I suggest checking out the easy-to-read map I've made for
it. The URL is:
http://db.gamefaqs.com/console/psx/file/arc_the_lad_iii_kutao.png

marked in all red.

'-------------------------------------'---------'---------'
These selfish brigands can still be dropped like a sack of bricks, just with
Silence + Fatal Dagger + Impulse Bomb. Use Excitement to raise everyone's
ATK if you need to, but chances are, you won't have to. Brain Blast's chance
to inflict paralysis may help out as well. [NOTE: Subsequent encountesr with
these two idiots are different; they will be accompanied by 3 Lv. 43 Treasure
Hunters who use whips (two-panel range). Heal up!] Note that these do not
count as hunters that need to be saved.
Anyway, proceed through the maze in any way you like until you get to the
warp room. There are four panels, going from left to right. The leftmost (#1)
will be pushed in and may not work, #2 & #4 return Alec to the room with the
first tablet, and #3 makes the northern exit lead to the B3 area.
At the second warp room on B2, if you read the tablet, you'll know to pick
the path "that memory dictates." Which, of course, means the destination is
once again the third panel. This opens the way forward again; the others only
warp back to the large room with an "X" or the tablet nearby. North two rooms
will lead to a hunter whose female companion's been kidnapped by some golems.

'-------------------------------------'---------'---------'
Like usual, Fatal Dagger can help get rid of some of these with ease, while
Excitement/Card Field will help buff out the party. Their starting formation
is horrible like usual, and any upgraded attack can hit all six of them in a
single go. Also, they're remarkably slow, so if you work fast, you can get
rid of most of them before their first turn.
---
In Warp Room 3, simply go in the door already chosen -- the tablet tells of
the future, which means the default panel is the one you use. (You can tell
which warp room it is by the number of swirls on the central floor panel.)
Warp Room 4 has four different paths to take:
� PANEL 1 -> Tablet #5
� PANEL 2 -> Hunters, then
� PANEL 3 -> Treasure chests x 3
� PANEL 4 -> Two battles, then Treasure Chest x 3
Panel 2 leads to some hunters whose companion went ahead to find some meds
for her injured fans. Continue to the fifth warp room and press the second
panel (from left) to keep going -- all others will revert Alec's team back
to the room with a large 'X' on the floor, about three warp rooms prior...
Continue along the path depicted in the map until you find the last hunter,
who returns to her companions. Raid the chests one room up and follow back
to where the two injured hunters were. If you got all the treasures around
here, choose to "Join them" in going back to the surface. If you don't want
to go back, you can warp out in the room where the last hunter was (i.e. the
last orange spot on map).
Everyone automatically returns to Testa and it's a job complete!

It starts immediately, so save beforehand. The Guild Chief says they'll be
using the room in the back for the training (kids! argh!). Ask Yann, the guy
who resembles Yang from FF4, if you need assistance. They'll be doing some
communications tests, by passing the message down the line of kids and seeing
how accurate it remained. After the first practice run, Alec should do nada
if the message has been verbalized correctly; the X-button's used on wrong
messages. Letting wrong messages slip through will make trainees lose trust,
and a trainee quits after losing trust thrice. SMALL CHANGES ARE ACCEPTABLE!
Here are the messages to keep in mind, with the bad segments capitalized for
easier visibility:
#1 - "A Hunter has to be strong, but strength alone does not make a Hunter."
� "A hunter has to be WRONG, but strength alone does not make a Hunter."
� "A hunter must be strong, but strength alone DOES NOT WAKE A HUNTER."
� "A hunter MIGHT BE strong, but strength alone does not make a Hunter."
� "A HUNGER must be strong, but strength alone does not make a Hunter."
� "A Hunter must be strong, BUT STRONG COLOGNE does not make a Hunter."
#2 - "The Guild network is speedy, but is sometimes inaccurate."
� "The Guild network is sometimes OUT OF PLACE, but they are speedy."
� "The Guild's speedy CLERK can be inaccurate sometimes."
� "Sometimes, THE GOZ'S network can be inaccurate, but is speedy."
� "SIX TIMES, the Guild's network can be inaccurate, but is GREEDY."
� "Sometimes the Guild's network can be inaccurate BUT IS NOT speedy."
As you can see, most sentences only have one wrong segment, except for Kid 4
on the second trial. Also, be sure you get the "BUT IS NOT" part because it
may seem halfway normal before you get to the end.

The heck...? Why is the destination in Ragnark? Well, no matter -- head to

by monsters, and by dividing into threes, the tasks can go a bit easier. Both
Alec and Velhart have to be on the monster-fighting team; who you pick as the

Yeah, we rushed back for...this!? Because there are more enemies, there is

out for gravity-inflicting attacks just the same, though.

For starters, use MUSUO I/II/III to completely evade physical attacks while
leaving openings for counterattacks. It likes to use Thunder God Fission to
inflict decent damage, so equip Flay's Crest to help cut down on attribute
damage. Omega BUSTER will help for inflicting non-counterable damage on the
spectre. Seal Thunder Cut can do 100+ as well, so keep some healing items on-
-hand (Soul Herb, Super Amazing Herb, etc.) for when Velhart's HP gets lower.
Wing Cut is a crappy physical attack besides. He has 1000 HP, which isn't too
hard to whittle down with Omega BUSTER doing much of the work. Still, because
Velhart is alone, you may have trouble on the healing end. Be prepared...!
The Ghost Warrior will ascend to the heavens and [ETERNAL STEEL] will be in
Velhart's pocket soon enough. Job complete for the victory!

world's societies.
---
Scope out the Weapon Society to learn the document in question is probably
called "The Secret of Itemass." In Testa, learn that someone named Secat was
the one who proposed it to congress. The researcher also has a memo about it
being unproven... A researcher in Paysus says that Secat had a son named
Horace who works at Paltos' weapon society...head there!
Secat's son says that his father used to lock himself up in his room to be
undisturbed. At this point, go to Testa to learn that Secat consulted with
Leshalt before going to congress, and Leshalt upset him so much that Secat
locked himself in a room.
Back at Paysus, learn some info about Leshalt & Recat before returning to
Elnan. His father's journal sheds some light on the situation -- Leshalt came
up with the theory and Secat announced it first to get the credit! Return to
Horace in Paltos to find the Secret of Itemass stored away on a bookshelf, of

Protect that dang Wind Pearl, folks!
Bull-headed Velhart is heading them off alone at Astorny Bridge; Lutz is his
backup and can only handle three ninja. That means that only three can get
past Velhart. There's a small minigame where Velhart has to slash the foes
(with the x-button) when in a close proximity, dealing a deathblow at once.
You can only miss three max or the team in Vernica is overwhelmed and gets
bumrushed (although if you fail, you find out the Wind Pearl was broken and
replaced as a fake by everyone in the village. LOL!). This may take a few
times to get it perfectly; the sad thing is there's so much dialogue leading
up to it the player has to sift through. Beware of ninja who run fast and
slow down midstride, and those who jump over Velhart completely.
Note that there's a little leeway if a "tiebreaker" occurs -- Velhart gets a
kill in that way. There's also some randomization that comes with the ninja
who advance...sometimes you'll get a bunch of slowpokes, other times speedy
demons.

Walk to the Bazaar Control office (near inn) to learn the inventory has been

the owner at the inn and find out what doesn't belong in the warehouse...
[NOTE: Now is a good time to save the game if you want to save time later.]
Unfortunately, she bought a grab bag full of different toys...but arranging
them in lines might help her remember her initial setup. When Alec & Marsia
put four in a row, two don't fit. Sadly, the correct animals are randomized
so there's no set solution to get through this.
When you pick an order and check it, the woman will give information on if
the animals match and if their positions are correct. Alec's teammates will
remember each try on Turn #1, Turn #2, etc. Try to find the correct plushie
positions first through trial and error.
If you fail this, don't worry -- it's difficult and annoying as you only
get six tries (per) to do both the front and back rows (2 and 3 positions,
respectively). Even with good deductive skills, you still need some bit of
luck.

You have to try and corner him, as he moves away from Alec. Always attack
from the position that prevents him from approaching an exit, which means
try to keep him out of the middle or any other position that gives him better

toward him in, meaning if he's in the middle, come from the east/west to be
safe.

If you want to know how to do this from the start, Alec starts in the middle.
Head north one space then go all the way to the northeastern corner. From

of the south fork, while the east one goes a lot farther (and you have to go
this way, natch). Theo will find a monster friend down that way, who beckons
him to go the left path. Take the right hole's vine and follow after the li'l
bugger.
In the room directly after where the monster first appeared, take the vine
(using the option) and backtrack one area, and go down the right side with
that vine. It leads to a monster room with a [WIND FRAGMENT], [TEM'S ROOT],
[TEM'S ROOT], and [WIND FRAGMENT]! And, after you're done, you can simply
take the root connecting to that room and bring it back to the three-way
fork. Go down the left hole with it and the right hole's vine.
After going a ways down, eventually we'll reach a path that goes directly
south to a monster room. South of there is a two-hole place. Take the east
vine down to a [WISDOM TABLET], [EARTH FRAGMENT], and [WISDOM TABLET] 'fore
climbing right back up and taking the vine. Plug it in the west hole and
go down.
Follow it until you get to the last treasure room, with a [PHALANX], [WISDOM

back up and take that rope (after fighting the monsters). Climb back up and
return to areas prior, to the three-exit place -- go north to the next 3-exit

---
Anrietta! She's a spoiled brat, so it's only natural she'd have her favorite
flower hanging around. If you talk to her, she gives the [PRINCESS ANRIETTA

Anyway, this place is mostly full of "slide" puzzles. This means that Alec
will have to step on some ice and glide around until he comes to the exit.
The first room is awfully simple but it gets a little harder later on.

tile, slide north -> west -> north -> east to the [WATER FRAGMENT]. From
there, it's north -> west -> east -> north -> east -> north -> west to the
exit.
A little ways ahead is the next puzzle by a save and heal point.

|SLIDE PUZZLE #3: There are multiple treasure chests here. Here's how to get
them.
� Blue Talisman ---> Stand south of save point and go south -> east ->
south -> west -> north -> west -> south.
� Blue Talisman --> By the save points, stand on the SW corner of the dry
land. Walk one space east then glide south -> west.
� Water Fragment --> Stand left of the save point and walk west until you
slide to the opposite solid ground. You can see a rock
just south; go to it. Then, it's east -> south -> west.
� Raila's Mirror --> After getting the Water Fragment (above), simply go
south to solid ground. Whee!
� Water Fragment --> Stand left of save point and glide west to the next
segment of dry ground. Stand in the SE corner and walk
one space west before gliding south. Go west -> south
-> east -> north.
� EXIT THIS PLACE -> Stand left of save point and glide west. That's all...
Defeat the Dark Fogs/Water Dragons and continue to the Eternal Ice Wall
that shields the booty. No one can think of a way to get through, however,
so it's back to Rusaht's institute. Salubari says the "Giga Plasma" spell

the top of Amaidar Mountain. Talk to the Chun-Li-lookin' woman at the cafe
to learn Sania's at the library; after, return to the temple and get Iga's
message to leave for the mountaintop. Tikva trains to become the Light/Dark
Wizard, so return to Rusaht and challenge the wizards in the training hall.

This is a Marsia-only battle, but even with their horrible ATK there's a
huge DEF to overcome. If you've been using her a lot up to this time, all
you have to do is use the opposing attribute attacks on each wizard. It'll
probably fry 'em easily. On the other hand, if you haven't been using Marsia
up to this time (she was Lv. 20 for me), you may have your work cut out for
you. I suggest artificial DEF/MAG raising with the buff items, and equipping
the Delight Heal (+10 HP/MP per turn) and Flay's Crest (-50% attribute dmg)
for easier effect. I beat them all at Lv. 20 by using two Rocket Bombs -- it
takes over 100+ off each, and since they clump together, it's an easy way
out for those low-levelled people. For me it went:
TURN 1: Hit with Air Blast + Heat Shell; Marsia retreats SE and heals up.
TURN 2: Hit with Air Blast; Marsia uses a Rocket Bomb
TURN 3: Hit with Air Blast/Heat Shell/Land Ax; Marsia kills three wizard
TURN 4: Hit with Water Crumble; Marsia uses another bomb and kills Ovel.
Beat 'em at Lv. 24. ^___^ Now's the time for the Light/Dark Wizard....your
old friend Tikva! Marsia can't go &
save in-between, either, y'know... .---------.---------.

| Lv. 51 Tikva | 294/999 | 37/95 | DIFFICULTY: 3/10 |

A high-levelled Marsia can dominate this easily, but for those who aren't
up to par with Tikva, do the Flay's Crest/Delight Heel accessories to cover
her back. Don't bother using light/dark attacks on Tikva because that's his
specialty. You can switch out the Delight Heel for a Light/Dark Amulet, also,
since he only has two attacks. Personally, I just threw a bunch of bombs at
him to win 'cause my Marsia's too low a level to deal real damage with her
Gaia Magic. Oh well, whatever gets y'through...
After defeating Tikva, Marsia learns the Giga Plasma spell. Rest/save at
Rusaht and return to the Eternal Ice Wall (no backtracking necessary). Let's
stick it to the boss...

As per usual, Excitement/Card Field/Magic Shield at the start, while Velhart
uses MUSOU I/II/III. Ice Masher can do 150+ to a single target, so all the
more reason for attribute-reduction accessories and spells. It uses Icicle
Cage on those in close-range, which does poor damage if Magic Shield is in
effect (~30); Prism Wall, however, summons up to three Ice Golems into the
battle...all the more reason to bumrush the thing and go as far north as
possible. The summoned golems appear way in the south. ^___^ Cliff Gigantor
has about 1000 HP, so it's not an insurmountable value.

JOB 93 - ETERNAL LOVE FINAL CONFESSION [JB93]
===============================================================================
"A man calling himself 'Spicy' says he will die if the girl he loves won't go
out with him, but lacks the courage to approach her. See him upstairs at the
vacant house to assist."
GUILD : Itio
CLIENT: Spicy the Lover
MERITS: 6
REWARD: 370G
UNLOCK: Complete Job #86 - "Get the Eternal Tree Branch!"
Ahaha, finally we get to help out Spicy, the "Jilted Loverboy from Hell"!
Our love-struck ninja has fallen for Chuanna, the girl who lives just down
the street from the vacant house. He's only been...creepily stalking her for
the most part up until now, though, and hasn't even talked to her! It's time
to guide his adoration of Chuanna for him.
Spicy : "I would go to the depths of Hell for you!"
Chuanna: "OK, then die."
Turns out she actually will try a relationship with Spicy, on the condition
he shows her he's got the bite to back up the bark. She only wants 1-goz
memento she dropped at the vacant house's ground floor. Return there to
find that it's in the NE corner of the room. Lutz will move the boxes like
that one previous job. Here's the setup:
_ _
[_] [_] --- STEP ONE ---
_ _ _ _
[_][_][_][_] Move the southernmost box to the left.
[_]
_ _
[_] [_] ### STEP TWO ###
_ _ _ _
[_][_][X][_] Move the box with the "X" on it as far north as it will
[_] go.
_
_ [_] _
[_] [X] ### STEP THREE ###
_ _ _
[_][_] [_] Move the box with the "X" on it to the east.
[_]
_
_ [_] _
[_] [_] ### STEP FOUR ###
_ _ _
[_][_] [X] Move the box with the "X" on it north and claim the coin!
[_]
---
Why Spicy couldn't just teleport to the stupid coin is beyond me, but finding
the coin doesn't win Chaunna's heart anyway. Now we need to find a Star
Fragment for her. There's supposed to be one in the Ruined City over at North
Sularto. Kulara's kids won't let Spicy look, but Alec and team are perfectly
suitable.
Now a minigame where Alec's team blocks the vision of the kids while Spicy
sneaks up on the Star Fragment. It's about the same as when the job was to
help a monk escape from his training to see his lover. Fail this thrice and
it's a job failed!
Talk with the X-button to stall the kids, and also make Spicy move in the
direction Alec's at. Convos can be interrupted with the Triangle button.
This one is more difficult as, when you press Triangle, you have to do it
before Spicy is near you because it takes up a turn, i.e. the conversation
does not end automatically. The easiest way to proceed is to use the northern
garbage piles for Spicy to hide in, which helps him get through a bit easier
than if he'd tried to go along the flat southern border. IT CAN BE ANNOYING
SO YOU MAY WANT TO SAVE BEFORE DOING THE BOX PUZZLE TO CUT DOWN ON TIME!
To be honest, I've been able to cut straight across the middle with some
luck. You do not have to get all the way to the eastern side, mind you, just
past...say, the last junkpile on the northern border. Get a [STAR FRAGMENT]
and return to Itio. Chaunna has one last request...a...Crystal Bone? Whuh?
It's in White Bone Forest at Ragnark.

'-------------------------------------'---------'---------'
Shouldn't be anything a card summon + Impulse Bomb can't handle. Take out the
Litchs first for good measure, though. Both are decent Cardish targets, also.
Finally, Chuanna will accept Spicy's love. It will be revealed why she sends
Spicy on so many of these weird missions...she's part of a step of triplets,
and each has sent him on a quest! And each is in love with him! I'd call it
a job complete...too bad Spicy can't handle the popularity.

Basically, there are three paths the people take, and moving Alec left or
right to block them prevents their movement (he also sends them flying back

These little buggers have great elemental defense, so use specialty attacks
like Brain Blast or Divide to take them out easily. Fatal Dagger also works
for whittling down their HP, especially if you want to Cardish one. Their
"Heavy Bell" attack is pretty crappy, and you can paralyze them if needed.
A [CALM NUT] is acquired after battle (always), and back at Weapon Society,
the fabulous, glorious, incrediblelastic [STONE GUN] is created! Next-door,
Elnan will have a [LAMP] that can carry the Eternal Flame somehow. Clutz Lutz
puts it in his charge... -___-
Return to the Lake of Fire (no backtracking necessary) and the mysterious
flying object reveals itself as Diekbeck! There's a minigame where Cheryl
prevents lava from falling on Lutz by using the Stone Gun to stop it cold
in its tracks. Decide where Lutz ascends with the d-pad and press "X" to
start the ascent. She can only make lava blocks in the wall's vertical gaps,
however. If the target is green, Cheryl can't shoot there. Oh, and fire with
"X" also. It'll stop the lava for one round. Don't worry if you mess up --
there is infinite retries. ^____^ HINT: You can see where the lava will begin
at the very top, and it always flows down; however, it always takes the turns
when available, so that's how it makes its weird pattern. Here's how I did
it:
Slot #3 (third from left out of 4 available) -> shoot gap right next to Lutz
Turn 2: Shoot gap right left of Lutz
Turn 3: Shoot gap just NE of Lutz
Turn 4: Shoot any gap 'cause the lava won't get Lutz anyway
On the fifth turn, Lutz will make it up and capture the [ETERNAL FLAME]! The
job is now complete! Diekbeck will give Theo his monster card as well.

� There are a total of 72 wanted monsters in total
� In each region with a guild, six wanted monsters appear (per disc)
� Half of the wanted monsters appear on Disc 1, the rest on Disc 2

you can still find low-level baddies with 140 ATK! It relies mostly on normal

Card Field yourselves (the mark starts all the way across the screen) before

powerful despite 100+ DEF, so don't hesitate to Impulse Bomb/Excitement in

Again, this monster will appear with a bunch of machinery types, all of which

Enemies with high DEF can be a problem because people with low ATK will often
do 1 damage. There are a couple of ways to counter this, being (1) raise the
ATK with Excitement (2) use Fatal Dagger and shave off nine-tenths of the foe
HP (3) use Velhart's Omega BUSTER to do reciprocal damage in the amount of HP
he has lost. Rehith will appear with a bunch of Night Callers, Stun Smogs,
and Sleeping Gusts, all of which are troublesome -- that, and Rehith can use
a skill to raise its DEF even more! DO NOT COME INTO THIS BATTLE IN A WEAKENED
STATE or you may definitely regret it! Impulse Bomb can take out over 4 foes
on turn #2, though, which may or may not play in your favor. Keep Resurrection
on hand until the danger's passed, and try to inflict paralysis before it can
use Shrinkage.

Poison Slimes...poison you. Dur? They're still crappy when faced with Card
Field, and the Mandrake/Dryads that show up to help it aren't too difficult
to overpower as long as you don't get hit with Unholy Scream (inflict: KO).
Only Mandrakes use it, but it hits a wide area -- beware!

This one will probably appear with a bunch of Dryads, which suck compared
to their Mandrake counterparts. If you watch out for Silence, and use some
Excitement/Card Field tag-teamin', there's really nothing that can go wrong
here.

"A monster is attacking town merchants and stealing jewels. Eliminate it."

LOCATE: Tolarka Castle Ruins | STEAL : Tough Alloy |
���������������������������
This juggernaut comes with a complete set of skull/dark-type foes, all of
whom will be poorly-levelled (either Lv. 20 or Lv. 40 -- yawn!). Fatal Dagger
cleans house quite well if you find the HP value too steep.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
WANTED MONSTER 66 - Largos (Dragoon) [DISC 1][WM66]
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
"A heinous monster has been attacking livestock. Go to the ruins and destroy

More Skull Warrior/Doommongers to play with as well! It's another mundane
battle, although you should remember that Paralysis Swirl is still a bother
if you get hit by it (only Largos uses it).

WANTED MONSTER 67 - Neros (Skull King) [DISC 2][WM67]

LOCATE: Digarta Wilds | STEAL : Dark Protector |
���������������������������
The Digarta Wilds is a special storyline place that opens up by accepting Job
#81 - "Get the Eternal Steel!" After defeating the Ghost Warrior there, it'll
become available for everyday use...and that's where Neros comes in! He can
appear with Cobra/Dragons, so use Excitement/Card Field before they make the
way south. Steal the Dark Protector and Impulse Bomb your way through things
like usual (way easier if you have Romancing Stone)

WANTED MONSTER 68 - Starius (Desert Devil) [DISC 2][WM68]

"This monster has been attacking merchants as they cross the desert. Capture

���������������������������
Out here in the boondocks, dragons appear as escorts...which aren't that good
per se, but they've got HP to back their attacks up. Desert Devils can sling
around decent DEF, which is all the more reason to Excitement/Fatal Dagger
to get through.

WANTED MONSTER 69 - Grodos (Armor Tortoise) [DISC 2][WM69]

���������������������������
Whew, a bunch of Dryads but no Mandrakes (they can inflict instant KO on a
large radius, remember). As usual, people with high DEF are easily felled by
Fatal Dagger or Omega BUSTER. Steal it's Tem's Root as it fetches a price of
6000g+.

WANTED MONSTER 70 - Drifter (CAA-5) [DISC 2][WM70]

���������������������������
The Dryads that tag along can inflict Silence, so make sure someone with
Refresh has prevention measures. This isn't much different from the foes at
Galecki Falls [N. Sularto], which means this is another boring battle. Steal
that Light Alloy if you absolutely need to.

Like usual, the mark brings a crew of Skull Warrior/Doommongers -- yawn! Go
the easy route: Fatal Dagger -> Impulse Bomb (it can't be Silenced). Be sure
to take off any dark-attribute weapons as they'll heal our gilded friend...

Don't worry -- it's physical attacks really can't kill you in one hit. Lead
off with Excitement and Silent it right off the bat to get rid of any nasty
instadeath attacks it may have up its sleeve.
