Introduction
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Heh! It's been a while since we decided to be serious about writing an FAQ for
an RPG game but we played this game and gave into temptation and made an FAQ
for this game. Same story goes for Shining Tears and Xenosaga 2 which we'll 
also work on this month. These three will shape up to be the biggest FAQs we
have ever done. If we decide to work on Megaman X Command Mission and Megaman
BN 4, they'll be huge FAQs too since the two in depth ones for MMXCM are large
as it is.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Getting Started
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To begin the game, you chose your TV display. If you choose Progressive Mode,
the game will check for ten seconds first for compatibility of your TV first.
Then next you choose the name of the Hero followed by the options of displaying
messages, camera settings (free or fixed), vibration on or off, sound output,
Hero's voice and the volume of the Background Music, Sound Effectsm and Voice.
Press start to begin a new game or continue and old one.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Glossary and stuff you need to know
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LVL: Level (the level that the enemy is)
HP: Health Points (how much life it has left)
ATK: Attack (Strength of attack)
SKL: Skill (chances of a critical hit)
PDF: Physical Defense (how well it withstands physical strikes)
EVA: Evade (how well it dodges attacks)
MAG: Magic (strength of magic attack)
SPD: Speed (How fast it attacks)
MDF: Magic Defense (resistance to magic attacks)
LUC: Luck (chances of hitting and evading)

Potch - this is the game's version of money

Guide to Fighting
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are three kinds of fighting: Navla Battles, One on One Duels and Group
Battles.

Group Battles use the common turn based style of Console-RPGs.
Naval Battles is merely a battle of the Rune Cannons between ships
One on One Duels is the battle between you and an opponent to bring down the
lifebar.

*******************************************************************************
Group Battles
*******************************************************************************
These are the battles that everyone is familiar with in these types of RPG
games. You'll normally end up in these battle via random encounters when you
are just running along then all of a sudden everything stops and your are now
fighting minor or major enemies.

*******************************************************************************
Naval Battles
*******************************************************************************
This chess battle + Battle of Runes is based on the elements that are used.
In a list of what beats what:

Fire > Wind > Earth > Lightning > Water > Fire

If you fire the same runes, you'll nullify the damage, and if you fire a rune
that beats the other, you'll force it back at the opponent and cause extra
damage. Any other time, you both take damage.

More on naval battles is stated in the walkthrough.

*******************************************************************************
One on One Duels
*******************************************************************************
Ever play the game Janken aka Rock-Paper Scissors? Well it works basically the
same way. Attacks beat Guards, Guards beat Special Attacks, and Special Attacks
beat Attacks. Lucky for you, you have the advantage because your opponets 
always give up to six lines of jibba jabba that gives away their next action.
If they sound like they are going they are going to destroy you, choose guard
because they'll choose a special attack, if they dare you to attack them or say
nothing special, attack them as they will guard. Any other time, use special
attacks to counter their attack.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Guide to Exploring
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
While you are running around, there are tons of people to talk to. Some people
will give valuable info. There are other places to check out such as Inns,
Shops, Blacksmiths, and Appraisals.

Appraisals: If you have a questionable item, take it to an appraiser to see
what it is.

Shops: Buy and sell armor, food, antiailments, orbs, etc.

Inns: Replenish health and magic.

Blacksmiths: strengthen your weapons

Save points are indicated by standout streetlights.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Walkthrough
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In a similar fashion of how we did our Final Fantasy 3/6 FAQ for SNES, we will
be using numbers. But we'll use them as to tell you what to do next instead of
representing the towns.

Things start off with three ships approaching the main ship. Snowe readies
everyone for combat.

*******************************************************************************
First Engamement
*******************************************************************************
????? vs Snowe's ship
Victory conditions: Counter the enemy's attack and emerge victorious!

Jewel says crew members must be assigned first. First you select all the
members. Snowe is the captain for this fight. The other ship has lightning and
water Rune shells. The person to shoot the Rune Cannon is Keneth since he has
Thunder rune. Now select everyone else as fighters. You'll notice that everyone
has underlings under them. More underlings means more "power" but it gives
you less mobility. Whoever runs out of underling becomes immobilized.

1. To start off, the other ship moves first since it has more mobility. Now
move your ship up two spaces and then turn your ship by pressing Left or Right
and fire cannon. You'll deal the first blow since the other ship isn't ready
to fire yet. That's fifteen underlings gone already. The other ship will turn
and fire. Attack with your Lightning Rune to counter its Lightning Rune and
neutralize it. The next shot will be a Water Rune. Shoot your Lightning Rune
to counter it and push it back into the other ship for 25 HP damage. One more
counter shot will give you victory as the other captain states that he has
underestimated you.

2. The enemy has boarded the ship. Choose Fight and have Hero attack ??? and
have Snowe attack ???? Now a choose Fight and choose item and use Medicine on
Snowe and hace Snowe attack ???. Have Hero attack ???? and Snowe choose Fight
then Rune then choose Water Rune then use Kindness Drops on Hero. Now perform
a cooperative attack by choosing Fight then combo on either enemy and end the
fight.

Glen chastizes Snow for his lack of awareness then challenges Hero to a one on
one duel.

3. Glen says he'll go easy at first then go all out if it gets heated. His 
method of threats indicate what he'll do. First he opens with a Special Attack
so guard that.

He will (action) if he says this
Attack: Now it's my turn
Attack: Pay attention to my swordsmanship
Guard: Charge at me and don't hold anything back
Guard: Let's see how well you wield that sword
Special: My next move will settle this once and for all
Special: Prepare to be beaten to a pulp

Win the fight and Glen will say he is proud that he trained you.

Katrina reminds Glen that the mock graduation is wrapping up and there will
be the Knight Invitation Festival. Glen tells Snowe he is counting on him for
tonight's kindling Ritual. Go inside the ship cabin and save then go upstairs
and talk to Keneth then talk to Tal or Jewel. We get more opening credits and
the ship reaches land.

4. Enter the Hall of Knights then proceed to the Training Hall. Glen will give
his graduation speech. He tells about the decimation of his crew ships by a man
named Troy and that this should not happen again. Katarina states that the next
day will be a guard duty assignment.

5. Go to the Razril Port Town and save. Move forward till you get a cutscene of
Snowe receiving the flame then lighting up the flame of a bystander. Snowe 
gives Hero the flame to his dismay. Light up the people's torches and move 
ahead. Lord Vingerhut sts off the fireworks.

6. Talk to your crewmates then leave to the Port and pet the cat for a medicine
then walk up to a man that looks like a cat and his name is Chiperoo who tells
you about a girl who has been kidnapped by pirates. Save then go to the Back
Street and rescue the girl. The back street is a good place to level up a 
little bit so stick around till yoi are ready for real action. The enemies here
are Snobby Shrews and Thugs with 21 HP and 14 HP respectively. Open the 
treasure for a mushroom. The Kidnapper and the girl are in between one of the
buildings.

7. The kidnapper has 41 HP and his underling has 25 HP. Use your best method of
attack to defeat them and save the girl.

8. Return to just outside the Hall of Knights and go to bed to end the night
and the festival.

9. You wake up in your room. Open the treasure for a steam bun and water orb
and save. Meet Snowe outside and go back inside to the Training Hall. Choose to
train and pick two members. You fight a Senior Knight who has 35 HP. Then 
switch members to test them then choose the members you want..

10. Go to the dock and start your first mission. Choose the deliverance mission
and get 1000 potch. You'll face Wild Seaweed with 30 HP and Muddy Fish with 16
HP. Use the map to guide you towards Middle port.

11. Give the document to the man in charge then depart. You can shop around if
you like. At least get 1000 from the guy. Head back to Razril. After so many
battles at sea, your friendship level should have been raised and your level
in general should be high according to the gamepoint standards.

12. Once back, talk to the Knight of Gaien for another mission, Back to
Middleport you go. Explore the ship and go in the cabin by anchoring it and get
five Medicine Herbs and save then set sail again.

13. A man tells of a strange creature he saw while fishing. He said it was 
black, furry, and cute but strong and pesky. It took a liking to him but he
want you to get rid of it. How cruel but for 2000 Potch, we'll take it.

14. Before sailing, take time to explore the place and visit the Inn to save
and heal everyone. Visit Adrienne to Sharpen your weapon to level 3. Buy some
suitable armor for each fighter minus Snowe then sail out.

15. You'll meet this creature in your first encounter since sailing

---------

16. Head back to Middleport and get your Money (2000 Potch) and return to 
Razril. After talking to Katarina, you are told to see Glen about separate
missions so head to Hall of Knights. You're two partners depart as Hero and
Snowe go in.

17. You meet Ramada of Orark Maritine Trade who is optimistic about Hero and
Snowe but instucts the two to be his guide to Iluya. Snowe is appointed a real
captain this time. Go downstairs for an Old Bok Volume 9 then exit to the
Courtyard. Go outside and Snowe asks you to meet up with him later and leaves.

18. Go around to the other ship and listen in on a conversation between two of
Ramada's crew members (Mizuki and Akaghi then save).

19. Talk to Ramada in the Audience Chamber and tell him you're ready to start
the mission.

20. Time for some long sailing. Well it looks like a long sail on the map.
There is bound to be tons of fights but at your level, these enemies are
nothing as they fall in one shot.

21. Once you start nearing Iluya Island, Snowe will say that he had seen some
of Ramada's cargo as really hardcore and starts to worry about the crew's
safety.

Glen chastizes Katarina about the mention of nasel birds. katarina mentions
something about Pirate Brandeau. Glen says he'll go after Snowe's ship because
he has a bad feeling.

22. Talk to Snowe for a cutscene of a ship firing at your ship. Snowe gets hurt
badly. He can't move his left arm and suggests fleeing. Hell with that shit. 
Let's fight the little bastards and show them who is boss. There are men and
there are mice. Snowe is a mouse. BAH!

*******************************************************************************
Pirate Brandeau
*******************************************************************************
Pirate Brandeau vs Knight's of Gaien
Victory conditions: Emerge victorious against the two enemy ships

23. One ship has a fire rune and the other has a lightning rune. Choose Gaien 
Knight 2 and 3. Gaien Knight 2 counters the thunder and Gaien Knight 3 counters
the fire. Fire ship has 70 underlings and Thunder has 80 underlings. The fight
is over so fast, Pirate Brandeau never knew what hit him. HAHA!

You should have no trouble with these guys. Keep up the physical attacks and
heal if needed. The Gaien Knight is strong enough to combat with the two.
---------

Brandeau uses a spell from the Rune of Punishment to burn everyone up but
Hero shields himself. Glen is mad at Snowe for abandoning his ship and punches
him in the face. Snowe complains about a bad arm as a sorry excuse to leave the
crew behind. Glen hopes that Hero is alive. Now its time for one on one.

25. Hero has half energy. He might start of with an attack or special attack.
If he declares victory on the first shot then guard since it'll be the latter.
His threats indicate these next actions.

Attack: Don't get cocky, boy!
Attack: Victory is mine...
Guard: Hah, child's play! Allow me to humor you.
Guard: Your attacks are futile...Don't you realize that?
Special: I'll kill you.
Special: I will settle this...

Hero wins the duel and faints as Glen catches him. Glen walks up to Brandeau
and the Rune of Punishment enters him as Brandeau vanishes. Mizuki, Akaghi,
and Ramada have a conversation followed by a cutscene of Snowe getting picked
up.

26. Snowe meets up with you as soon as you leave the room. he asks you to
accompany him to town to pick up a few things so run up to the door. Two
Gaien Knights meet up with you and congratulate Hero on a job well done and
taunt Snow on his bad arm. Snow needs to get some Mega Medicine.

27. Run to Razril Port and go to the Equipment shop and Snowe will say to go in
and Snowe asks for Mega Medicine and the clerk gives it to him. When you exit,
the townsmen compliment Hero on being strong. Snowe says for Hero to get going.

28. Next run to the kitchen and get the Commander's meal and Snowe asks Hero
to give the COmmander his medicine. You get two Mega Medicine in the process.
Kindly tell the truth that Snowe bought the medicine. He may be a coward but at
least he cared to help Glen get better.

The Rune of Punishment is taking its toll on Glen. He orders Hero and Katarina
to leave and asks himself what is happening to him. Katarina says she'l watch
Glen's door.

29. Head outside and get a cutscene of ships arriving. Talk to your crew and 
choose to fight to each member. Talk to the knight outside and get ready for 
some action.

*******************************************************************************
Retribution
*******************************************************************************
Pirate Dario vs Knight's of Gaien
Victory conditions: Emerge victorious against enemy pirates

30. One ship has just fira and the other has fire and wind. None of your ships
(that includes Snowe's ship) has Fire Rune (drat!). Attack the fire one first
using Jewel to fire the rune since she is water then attack the other ship.
You'll more than likely take damage but that ship does tick damage while you
do monster damage. Snowe's ship has only lightning rune so he's in deep stew
but he can sneak in an attack though.

31. Dario is not a happy camper. He gets mad at his son Nalleo. Snowe then
orders an attack on the pirates and Dario and Snowe's ships come face to face.
Choose to help Snowe and Dario retreats. More cowardice we tell you. Snowe
didn't like Hero stealing the show. Hmph! What a loser.

32. Hero and Snowe have been summoned to the Commander's room. Glen compliments
Hero and punches Snow in the face for his stupidity and tells you two to go.

33. Exit and Snowe is upset that Hero gets all the credit but apologizes. Go to
bed for a little dream sequence. When you awake, Funghu says the food is ready
and you take it to Glen.

Glen says it's ok for Hero to go and Snowe wonders what is going on. It turns 
out that the pirates were hired to arrive and weren't normal pirates. Oh great!
More enemy pirate ships have arrived. The nasel birds have been killed. Glen
send Katarina and Hero away. Snowe comes in and Katarina sends him to gather
everyone and Katarina briefs them on the situation. She joins the battle.

34. Exit the Courtyard and the pirates attack. Win three battles using physical
attacks and multi hit Rune attacks. The main pirate has 100 HP and the other
two have 140 HP.

Glen watches the battle and the Rune of Punishment symbol forms on his hand. It
seems hopeless for our heroes till Glen uses the Rune of Punishment to destroy
everything and force Dario to retreat.

35. Re-enter the courtyard and climb to the top of the spire. Snowe follows. 
Hero finds Glen grieving and dying. Snowe runs to his side and Glen has some
vile dying words for Snowe then vanishes. Did Snowe have something to do with
the pirates?

What an asshole. Snowe blames Hero for what just happened to Glen.

36. Keep running forward till you touch the red stars. There is a dream 
sequence for each star.

37. Now you fight a mysterious shadow who has 1HP. SAY WHAT!!? 1HP!!?

Snowe lies his ass off to Lord Vingerhut and Katarina about what went on. Looks
like jealousy got the best of him. ASSHOLE! Your fate? You have been exiled and
ordered not to return to Razril. You'll be escorted to the harbor by the
characters you did not choose to take with you. You get placed in a "lifeboat"
and the Gaien shio sails away. What's this? Snowe is the new Commander now?
That burns us up big time. The characters you chose to take with you become
the 2nd and 3rd Stars and stowaway on your ship. Then Cheipoo appears. He is
the 4th star of destiny. Everyone converses. Now it's time to save.

38. Fight two battles at sea and a Merchant ship sees your crew at sea and is
skeptical about rescuing you. It turns out that they are not merchants. They
decide to pick you up and Colton speaks to everyone.

39. Go in the cabin ang get the Treasure Map off the table. Then talk to Troy
then talk to Colton to rest. After rest, go outside and the crew gets caught
snooping.

40. You can't win this battle against Troy and Colton so just take your lumps.

41. Next you fight Kooluk Soldiers whom have 180HP each. Talk about some major
leveling up after the fight. Fight a few more battles by talking to the Kooluk
soldiers outside the cabin.

The crew departs and Colton said your crew will die at sea anyway.

42. Once you talk to the other three, you'll set sail and fight a random battle
against some Flying lizard then 

43. A water dragon arrives.

Concentrate on using physical attacks and thunder magic on him to do serious
damage especially the Thunder Runner which hurts it big time. Heal when
necessary.
----------

44. A tidal way washes everyone ashore after the fight. Talk to everyone twice
to wake them up.

45. Take the time to check out the island while you are here. Once you been
everywhere, you discover that its a deserted island. From here you can end the
game early y staying on the island and repeat the next section over and over
again. But to keep going, choose to escape.

46. THere are four tasks to undertake and Chiepoo will always choose to gather
food. You have the option of what the assignments for the other two will do
then take the remaining one yourself: gather seaweed, gather lumber, gather
coconuts.

47: If you choose...

Coconuts: Go to the island's edge area and gather three coconuts
Seaweed: get three pieces of seaweed on the beach
Lumber: go in the jungle and look for trees that shine.

You do these tasks for three days.

48. For each day spent, the treasure in the cave changes when the mermaid 
Lilin leaves. She'll leave a ...

Day 1: Lucky Ring
Day 2: Water Amulet
Day 3: Guard Ring

49. After completeing the assignments on each day, pick up your crew
and go to the Boulder Shade and rest.

50. Hopefully you had been nice to Lilen on Day 3 and she will tell you a
riddle about Chiepoo being in danger and she tells you to defeat a monster.

----------
51. Boss Fight: Boss Crab Round 1

Don't even bother atting Boss Crab yet. Kill its two sidekicks. After a few 
rounds of tick damaging it, you come to realize that you must use the Rune of
Punishment to weaken it.
----------

Magic Attacks: Violent Deluge, Blast of Water, and Hard Bubbles

Let loose on this crab by using all of your Runes except for the Wind and Rune
of Punishment then finish it off with normal attacks. The crab has a tendency
to use Blast of Water and Violent Deluge alot. So heal up as much as you can.
----------

53. Hero faints. He is now back in the mysterious tunnel with red stars and
memory lanes. Destroy the mysterious shadow with one hit and it vanishes

54. Chiepoo apologizes for the trouble caused but the others forgive him and
say the crab was delicious. Hero wakes up. Tell them you are ready to go. The
ship sails and Lilin calls out to the crew. She'll show you the path to land
which is due south.

55. Fight two random battles while you are at sea then two huge Killer Rays
appear a brown one and a green one.

SPD: 50/50
MDF: 50/25
LUC: 40/50

Magic Attacks: Ray Beam and Double Team (both), Ray Blast (green only)

THe good news is that the brown Killer Ray is very weak against the Rune of
Punishment and Level 1 Rune of Punishment (aka Eternal Ordeal) packs a punch a
punch at 300HP damage and the 30HP damage you take from using it is no biggie
in this fight. As for the others, use your best magic at your disposal then
finish them off with your weapons as best as you can.
----------

57. Talk to everyone. The oars have been stolen but you are rescued by a
mysterious ship. The person who rescues you is Desmond. He notices the mark on
Hero's hand and summons Princess Flare to take a look at it and she tells her
men to be respectful to your crew.

58. Get the treasure map from inside the cabin and talk to Desmond twice to
arrive in Obel. Flare asks you to stop by the Royal Palace later on.

59. Upon controlling Hero, examine the Barrels for a treasure map then head
north to the palace. You can get a lottery ticket from the girl and play the
lottery. Also explore the town to get some help in your journey from shops.

60. Once you reach the palace, talk to Setsu and he'll direct you to the King.
You'll meet up with Lino En Kuldes, he is the guy that was outside. he asks
Hero to show him the Rune which he does and tells him about the origins of the
Rune. He tells Hero to visit the Ruins and gives Hero the Ruins Entry Permit.
He tells Hero to seek out a person who knows more about the Rune and sends you
to seek the person out.

61. Exit the palace and Lino En Kuldes says everyone is welcome to stay as long
as Hero and the others work for him. Desmond arrives and Lino En Kuldes 
whispers something to him that surprises him. Desmond joins your company.

62. Make your way all the way to the right from here and walk to the cave
entrance and Desmond says the back of the cave will be the shelter on the 
island. When the crew enters the cave, its pitch black, Soon Desmond leaves
the company and shows everyone the place.

63. Now start exploring the HQ then go to bed. Leknaat visits Hero in his sleep
and explains what the Rune of Punishment can do. She will monitor the way its
being used.

64. Talk to Desmond in the second passageway and he mentions that there is a
ship outside at Hero's disposal. Go out to the Cliff Path for a cutscene
between Troy, Colton, the Governor, Graham Cray, and Ramada. Ramada asks Snowe
to enter the room. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

65. Head to the area where you got the soap from the lady by the well and speak
to a man named Ornan to recruit him then run to the docks and board a ship.

66. Sail north to Nay Island first. You'll fight some strong speck Rays and boy
was recruiting Ornan a big mistake. The dude is weak but for the special ending
you'll have to deal with it. What's worse is that he is sleep at the start of
battle.

67. Once on land, make your way west to the trading post to recruit Perrault
who waits inside. You'll have to flee a lot of battles on the way. Talk to
Perrault twice and give him positive answers to recruit him then make the
treacherous journey back and visit an Inn to recoop.

68. Now set sail and head southeast to Na Nal Island. Upon arrival, head to the
Inn and talk to a girl named Rita who asks you to play a game of Ritapon with 
her.

69. She'll explain the rules to you but we'll explain the rules in the 
minigames section at a later date.

70. After you defeat Rita, speak to her again and choose the first option and
you'll recruit her and she joins the party and becomes the new recruit.

71.Had north till you meet a man in bandages. He tells you about a girl in red
who needs to be punished. Move ahead to meet up with Mitsuba. She gives away
her con job before introducing herself. LOSER! Choose option one to duel her.
Her first action is an attack or guard. So choose attack to be safe. Then her
next actions are...

Attack: Hahaha, not yet, not yet
Attack: I'm going to slash you and it's gonna hurt
Guard: Come and get me!!
Guard: Whew, I'll see how it goes a bit
Special: You're dead
Special: Okay, I'll finish it in the next move

72. Defeat Mitsuba and she reveals that Reinhold and her were trying to con
people bu Hero was too strong. Soon Reinhold and Mitsuba are recruited. 
Speaking of strong, we underestimated Ornan. he has a strong attack when 
awakened.

73. Back to Odel we go. Use the rush attacks after Ornan wakes up for a
powerful attack on the opposittion and heal up as well. This is really the 
first time we used it but we coulda used it earlier in the game.

74. Once back in HQ, save then talk to Louise or Desmond to choose your 
characters in battle. You should have eight people to choose from not including
Hero. You might wanna bring along some weak characters to build them up
before doing anything else, Just hand out utside and kill the enemies.

75. Once you are ready to move on, go into town with the characters of your
choosing and strengthen their weapons to the maximum you can afford. If you
need quick potch, talk to Rita when she is not on the team and play Ritapon and
beat her.

76. Now walk to the path opposite of the way to cave HQ to the Ruins. Show your
pass from Lino En Kuldes to Rakgi at the entrance. He will become your guide.

77. Run around and find the treasure chests. One has 5000 potch and the other
has a Thunder amulet. Soon, Rakgi will explain how easy it is to get lost and

With the right magic, he will barely even get a turn. If you have at least two
people who can perform the Soaring Bolt (Level 3 Lightning Rune) and someone
with a Blazing Wall (Level 3 Fire Rune), he is history in 1 turn. How bout
that?

The colors represent its attack most of the time. Red = fire, green = wind,
blue = water, yellow = earth, orange = lightning, white = holy beam. However,
it can send a Deadly Wave regardless of color. You'll need some speed, luck,
good magic users, and a prayer. this due has 13000Hp. Save your Rush for when
it turns white so you can knock it out of its Holy Bea turn which fucks your
whole party up bad. Defeat this monstrosity and Cray speaks of how the ROP
was cut off from him. Escape the castle and talk to Rakgi to board and face
Troy in a duel.
----------

207. Start off with a guard to counter his special then refer to the following:

Attack: Here I go.
Attack: Yield to my sword.
Guard: Humph.
Guard: ...
Special: I'll settle this with the next move.
Special: Sorry...but I will take your life with one more move.

You have won the game.

208. Do what you gotta do during the endings. There is one note that you'll be
in the tunnel again and you'll see Hero and Flare's mother who is also Lino En
Kuldes's wife.

209. The credits roll. There is an extra scene at the end to show that Hero
survives. Now all you gotta do is save the clear data and that is that.
