***1. Introduction***
********************* 
Hi I'm Eric Lagasse I'm going to make the best Shining Force: 
Resurrection of the Dark Dragon guide ever! I tried looking for the 
Shining Force remake ever since it came out. It's just like the 
original Shining Force for Sega Genesis. Accept better because in the 
Gameboy Advance version you can collect cards, complete victory 
conditions, there's new weapons, new items, new characters, new items, 
and they added more to the story! But I still love the original too 
it's one of the best games ever! If you have any questions or comments 
e-mail me at [email protected]

************************
***2. Version History***
************************
Version 1.18 (01/17/07) YES! The Legacy Has Returned! After Close To 
Three Years, The Famous Walkthrough For Shining Force Has Returned And 
On It's Way For Completion This Week! Sorry For Not Completing It A lot 
Earlier...It's Been Busy, But Now Chapter 5 Of The Walkthrough Is In 
Progress And The Rest Is On The Way ;)And The Whole Works. The 
Walkthrough Will Be Complete By January 21st! I Had Some Computer 
Trouble The Last Time, I Did Complete The Walkthrough But I Had Some 
Errors To Be Fixed ;) But Now Everything Is Back Up And Running Fine ;) 
If You Have Any Questions Or Comments, E-Mail Me At 
[email protected], As You Noticed, My Yahoo! One Is For 
Private Use For Me Only, Unless You Personally Can't Get Ahold Of Me! 
So Please Use My Hotmail One, Thank You! Ohhh Yeah I Decided To Take 
Out The FAQ Section As Well ;) Yep That's About All I Got To Say For 
Now! Just To Get You An Update On Things! =P

Version 1.16 (10/27/04) Well I got Chapter 4 done all right, and I also 
changed some things too! It was really long! I put hints in there to. 
To help you out a little bit more. I'm working on Chapter 5, 6, and 7 
now so then by next week I'll be working on the last chapter, Chapter 
8! So enjoy!

Version 1.13 (10/26/04) Howdy! I've go a little more on Chapter 4 done 
and I'm going to TRY to work on my guide everyday to try to finish it. 
So I'll probably be finished with my guide THIS WEEKEND!

Version 1.10 (10/25/04) Well it's been approximately 3 weeks since I 
last updated my guide. Well I've been finishing up some other games, so 
I can make guides for them too! Well I got chapter 4 partly done! So I 
hope that helped you a little bit more. I'm doing going to finish my 
walkthrough probably by this Halloween weekend! So I hope you get a 
scare! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA!

Version 1.07 (10/06/04) Well Hi again just to say that I have finished 
working on Chapter 3! I'm now going to finish my guide so I hope you'll 
enjoy it! Oh and I took out the deals part in each section because well 
after I played the game a second time sometimes the deals were 
different so I'll just tell you to check the deals to make sure!

Version 0.98 (9/21/04) Today is my Birthday and well my wish didn't 
come true but I'll get my guide done until the last week of October or 
maybe earlier because I have a lot of work this next two weeks!

Version 0.95 (9/15/04) I got the Rindo 2nd Visit and Battle 8 finished. 
I'll be working on this every day now until I finish my guide 
completely! This is going to be great!

Version 0.92 (9/14/04) I finished the Battle 7 and Manarina parts of my 
walkthrough. So I'll be working on it again tomorrow sometime.

Version 0.89 (9/13/04) Hi everybody! Just got the Manarina part of the 
Walkthrough done. Working on the rest of Chapter 2. I probably won't be 
done this week, but I'll just have to try!

Version 0.87 (9/08/04) Didn't do much today was busy on homework. I 
just got a tiny bit done on the Walkthrough. I'll work on it a little 
more tomorrow. Then on Friday and Saturday I won't be working on it 
because I'm going to see one of my best friends that moved this summer 
Jayden! That's going to be fun. Then I'm going to really work on it 
next week because next week is my Birthday Party so I'm really going to 
work on it!

Version 0.85 (9/07/04) Hi! I added a new Weapon & Item Shop section! 
You can check it out! I made some new arrangements and got a little 
more done on the Walkthrough. Just to let you know. I might work on it 
again later today. But I got homework to do so it'll take awhile!

Version 0.81 (9/05/04) Hey you guys just added a new Story section of 
my guide, and made some changes to the Table of Contents. Also I fixed 
several problems I had! So tomorrow I'll be working on the Walkthrough 
section again and do Chapter 2, and if I get done with Chapter 2 I'll 
probably work a little bit on Chapter 3. So things are going as they 
are planned... Eric Lagasse signing off and saying... Have a good Labor 
Day!

Version 0.78 (9/05/04) Just made some new adjustments to some sections 
because I made some simple mistakes. It's going to take me a while to 
finish the Walkthrough because I need to play the game to find out some 
stuff I need to put in my Walkthrough like part of Chapters 2-8. But it 
shouldn't take me a long while because I'm Shining Force Wizard! I 
complete the game in 3 days so I'm guessing it will take me another 5-
10 days to finish my walkthrough. So I'm going to be busy tonight 
trying to get to Chapter 2.

Version 0.76 (9/04/04) I told you I would write again today got the 
Chapter 1 section done! Going to be working on the Chapter 2 section 
probably later on today! Then I'll write again! I'm on a role today!

Version 0.72 (9/04/04) Hi again working on the long Walkthrough! Almost 
done with the Chapter 1 section. This is exciting! Oh yeah I wanted to 
finish the other sections first so I did the Credits and the E-Mail 
Policy sections are complete except for the FAQ's section. I'll write 
to you again at the end of the day to see how things are going and how 
far I have gotten. Talk to you on the next version!

Version 0.60 (9/03/04) Finished the Cheat Codes section! Now the moment 
we all been waiting for the Walkthrough section! I have only got little 
done on it probably 2/100's done! I'm going to be working on it 
tomorrow and that's a promise!

Version 0.56 (9/02/04) Sorry I haven't written in a while I was busy. I 
got three fourths finished with the Cheat Codes section. I'm really 
busy I'll do a lot tomorrow since it's Labor Day Weekend! Hurray! I'll 
get A LOT done this weekend! You never know I might finish the 
Walkthrough section this weekend. I'll be working on it all this 
weekend. I'm staying up till 12:00- 1:00 in the morning working on this 
guide!

Version 0.53 (8/31/04) Finished the Cards section YES! Working on the 
Cheat Codes section. I hope I'll be done with it in a day or two!

Version 0.48 (8/29/04) Hi again! Just got three fourths done with the 
cards section my guide is coming along great! I hope I finish it before 
my birthday which is September 21st this will be my birthday present 
that'll be really awesome! I'll be finished with the Cards section 
tomorrow sometime. Then I'll start on the Cheat Codes and a little on 
the Walkthrough. Man this is great that I'm almost on the Walkthrough 
section!

Version 0.43 (8/26/04) Got the Items, and Rings section done. Going to 
work on the Cards and Cheat Codes section in three days, that's because 
I'm going to my dad's house on the weekend that'll be fun! Well I'll 
work on this in 3 days then. It'll probably take me a couple of days to 
finish those sections then I could work on the Walkthrough!
 
Version 0.35 (8/23/04) Finally got done with the Magic, Spell 
Chronology, and Weapons section. It took me all day! Tomorrow I'm going 
to work on the Rings, Items, Cards, and Cheat Codes sections. Then I'm 
finally going to start on the Walkthrough section. I'm thinking it's 
going to take me probably 3-7 days to finish the walkthrough if I have 
nothing to do. So I might start on it tomorrow to if I get lucky and 
finish the other 4 first!

Version 0.22 (8/22/04) Just FINALLY got done with the long character 
section! Going to work on the Magic, Spell Chronology, Weapons, Items, 
Cards, and Cheat Codes section tomorrow. Then when I finish those, 
which will probably, take a few days. I'll work on the long walkthrough 
section and maybe the FAQ's sections.

Version 0.18 (8/21/04) Just finished three fourths of the character 
section I'll be done with it some time today. Probably be don with the 
Magic, Spell Chronology, Weapons, Items, Cards, and Cheat Code section 
tomorrow or in two days so I can work on my long walkthrough.

***5. Info about the game***
****************************
Shining Force is what I think, is one of the best RPG's I ever played. 
It is mainly about going into battle, finding items, finding new 
characters, and just having fun. There are over 100 different monsters 
you can battle. Each character has there own special ability and 
techniques. Anyway the game is pretty fun and simple. Just sit back, 
and relax and read my walkthrough.

**************
***6. Story***
**************
"In ages long forgotten... Light fought Darkness for control of the 
world. Dark Dragon led the evil hordes of darkness.
The Ancients fought back with the Powers of Light.
Dark Dragon was defeated and cast into another dimension.
The Lord of Darkness vowed to return in 1,000 years.
Time passed, and Dark Dragon was forgotten by all.
Ten centuries of peace ruled the land of Rune.
Until the kingdom of Runefaust brought war to Rune.
Hordes of evil creatures ravaged the land.
Here and there, strongholds of good still held out...
Awaiting a Hero who could wield the Powers of Light."

***B. VIP's***
**************

******************
***a. Royalties***
******************
King of Guardiana:
He is the father of Anri who studies magic in Manarina. He is one of 
the first victims of the Runefaust invasion being slaughtered by the 
evil Kane.

King of Alterone:
Kane tricked him during the invasion of the Runefaust army. In order to 
save his people, the king even arrests Max and his friends. Will he 
find out the truth in time?

Queen Koron:
She is still young but carries a lot of responsibility on her small 
shoulders. She leads the town of Pao through the Pao Plains. Does she 
have some information for Max?

Shell of Waral:
She is a mermaid who helps Max to reach the island of Waral after a 
fierce sea battle. In Waral Max will meet many of her relatives and 
gets a mass of useful information.

King of Waral:
He could be called a shame of his class (honestly!). Besides his royal 
duties he seems to have much spare time and has opened two shops in 
Waral to relax as a shopkeeper.

King Kusko:
He is the king of Prompt and seems to know much about the past of Max 
and Kane. He, too, is worried about the Runefaust's plan to conquer the 
world and sends Max to save Alef and Torasu.

**************
***b. Sages***
**************
Ortrant:
He is the leader of the mages in Manarina. He will test Max and his 
friends. Only if they manage to retrieve the Orb of Light, he will 
accept them as the true Shining Force.

Mahato:
He was the right hand sage of King Ramladu of Runefaust. Outsmarted by 
Darksol, he cannot do much but helpless observe the transformation of 
Ramladu into an evil monster.

Spirit of the Spring (Spirit of Recollection):
She seems to know Max very well. She finally sends him on his quest to 
save the world. Later she will enlighten Max about his past, present, 
and future.

*********************
***c. Helpful Guys***
*********************
Karin:
She is the leader of the children of Rudo. She is a good friend of 
Bleu, the last of the dragons. She worries about him very much and 
sends Max to investigate the situation in Dragonia.

Krin:
She is the keeper of the secrets in Rudo. She is very interested in 
ancient books and books about the ancients. Her greatest fear is that 
Darksol will gain a special book from Dragonia.

Merchants:
They can be found all over the world of Shining Force. Here you can buy 
and sell items. Sometimes they offer special stuff and in addition to 
this you may even repair broken items here!

Nova:
He was once the advisor of the Guardiana king. He joins the Shining 
Force not to fight but to help them with his knowledge. Meet him in the 
Headquarters to discuss problems or regroup your party.

Priests:
They are obviously to be found in churches. They will help by reviving 
unconscious party members, lift curses, promote your characters (which 
you have to be on level 10 or up), and record (save) your progress.

Varios:
He is the leader of the mighty Guardiana knights and the father of Mae. 
He is fond of Max and trusts him very much. Kane will murder Sad to 
say, but him in attempt to save his king.

*************
***C. Foes***
*************
Balbazak: Level 20/Coins 520
He is a mighty Runefaust general who is waiting for Max and the Shining 
Force in the port town Urbanatol. In order to get a boat Max has to 
overcome him and his "pet", the Blue Dragon.

Dark Dragon: Level 99 (Middle Head)/Level 98 (Two Side Heads)/Coins ???
Max and the Shining Force could not prevent Darksol from reviving Dark 
Dragon. So they have to deal with him in "person". There are three 
heads of Dark Dragon. Do you have the power to beat him?

Darksol: Level 50/Coins ???
He appeared out of the unknown and managed to influence King Ramladu to 
start a worldwide invasion. He has his own dark plans and seems to know 
our hero Max very well. Will the Shining Force be able to stop him?

Elliot: Level 20/Coins 450
Although he knows that his king, Ramladu, has become evil, General 
Elliot of the Runefaust army still tries to fulfill his duty for the 
people of the kingdom the noble way. Ramladu, on the advice of Darksol, 
will send him to defeat Max and the Shining Force!

Gobgovitch: Level 9/Coins 500
Narsha and Zuika have to deal with Gobgovitch on their way to join the 
Shining Force. He and his outlaw gang lure around the harbor. Because 
of the trouble and fighting noise Narsha has to give up her plan 
sneaking onboard a ship unseen.

Kane: Level 25/Coins 1200
He seems to be evil in person, cruel and without any mercy he roams the 
land to conquer. But he, like Max, has an unknown past. Is there a 
connection between them?

Marionette: Level 12/Coins 200
It is a beloved toy and also a deadly weapon. It belongs to Mishaela, a 
cruel witch of Runefaust. To reach her goal, conquering the world, 
Mishaela also uses disguises like the circus in Rindo. Will Max and the 
Shining Force be able to stop her and her toy?

Mishaela: Level 30/Coins 1500
Max and his friends will meet Mishaela many times during their journey. 
But in her hideout, Skullcastle, the Shining Force has finally cornered 
her without the chance of retreat (for Mishaela!). Nevertheless it is 
not easy to stand against her evil power and survive.

Ramladu: Level 40/Coins 3000
Under the evil influence of Darksol, King Ramladu has lost everything, 
his kingdom, his justice, his soul, and his daughter Narsha. To tell 
the truth, his fate is the most pitiful ever. In the end, his death is 
the only way to save him.

***9. Spell Chronology***
*************************
(Note: U stands for Unpromoted and P stands for Promoted. I'll give an 
example if it says U/P. Ok I'll use Max for example, Max doesn't start 
Supernova Level 1 until Level 12 U/P that means if Max Doesn't get a 
promotion by level 10, He'll learn Supernova at Level 12. If he gets a 
promotion by Level 10, he'll learn Supernova at Level 12 Promoted 
instead. I recommend you get promoted at Level 10. It's your choice.)

(Note 2: When it says already that means it's already been learned, or 
it means the spell came with level 2 of that spell the same time. I'll 
give an example Lowe starts his Quick spell at Level 26 Promoted and 
Quick Spell Level 2 says it's already been learned that means when Lowe 
got his first Quick spell he got Quick Level 2 with Quick Level 1!)

***13. Weapon & Item Shops***
*****************************
(This section involves how to work with the Weapon & Items shops in 
each town. I'll tell you about each option they give you)
***********************************************************************
Buy: Let's you look at different and new items & weapons you can 
purchase from a shop. Look at the price tag to see how much it costs.

Sell: The item & weapon seller buys items & weapons from you. You earn 
half the gold from how much it costs. For example a Medical Herb costs 
10 Gold coins. If you sell it you would get 5 Gold coins back from the 
seller.

Repair: Repairs items and weapons that have been used in battle. For 
example if you use the Heat Axe it will cast Blaze Level 2 in battle. 
So now it's broken if you use it two more times the weapon/item will be 
gone! So then you go to Repair if you used the item 1 or 2 times.

Deals: This feature is great! After a battle check the Deals option to 
see if there is a special weapon. Sometimes there is and sometimes 
there isn't so make sure you check this after each battle! Oh one more 
thing when you sell a Ring, Special Weapon/Item, it will go into the 
Deals section. MAKE SURE you don't put too much stuff in it because if 
you get a special weapon after battle it won't be there!

New Members: Ken, Luke, Tao, Hans, and Lowe
New Cards: Ken, Luke, Hans, and Lowe
Items: After 2nd battle

After a long intro about Dark Dragon and the Runefaust army you will 
meet Simone a girl who wants you to read a story to her because her 
grandfather is out. Anyway now you can name the main character name him 
anything you want! The default name is Max. So I'll use Max so you 
understand.

After you name him you are in a battle with your teacher Lord Varios. 
After the little battle he'll say he needs a rest so now you can move. 
So go up the stairs and you'll meet your best friend Lowe. After his 
conversation go back to Lord Varios he'll be called to the castle by a 
guard. So now go and talk to Lowe one more time and he'll have you 
split up and look for clues.

Now you'll automatically be sent to the Priest. He'll explain how to 
Record (or Save) your progress. You can save if you want to just in 
case if the game freezes and you have to restart again.

Anyway you can now move again. Go and talk to some people and they'll 
give you advice about some things. Now go to the castle which straight 
north and talk to the king. He'll explain about some mission you have 
to accept. Then after that talk to the three people around the king, 
Varios, Ward, and Nova, then talk to the king again he'll tell you to 
gather your troops so now go get out of the castle and go straight down 
a guard will show you where headquarters are. So go in.

At headquarters you'll meet your first companions Ken, Luke, Tao, Hans, 
and Lowe they will automatically join and they'll tell you different 
stories about there're lives. You can go to Nova and he'll give you 
Advice, Statistics, Bank (which stores your money), and Team (which you 
can decide who you want on the battle field).

KEN, LUKE, TAO, HANS, and LOWE join the Shining Force!

Now we're going to get Ken, Luke, Hans, and Lowe's cards. Just talk to 
them all a couple of times and you'll get their cards accept for Tao's 
because you don't get hers until Chapter 2. Now you got KEN, LUKE, 
HANS, and LOWE's CARDS!

Now go back to the castle and talk to the king again. He'll give you a 
100 Gold. So you can buy a Herb or two for battle. Now get out of the 
castle and go down to the item shop and buy a herb for each person and 
put some in your item box if you want to. Now go down and you will see 
two guards and they will let you through.

***1. Battle 1***
*****************
Battle Party: Max, Ken, Tao, Luke, Hans, Lowe, and Gong
Victory Condition: Defeat the Rune Knight
Clear Bonus: In 8 turns 250 gold coins
Enemy Cards: Rune Knight/Have Max defeat the Rune Knight to receive the 
Rune Knight's Card!
Items: N/A

Ok here's your 1st battle! It's kind of easy but if you use my codes 
you 
will have no problem. So I'll give you some strategies of how to finish 
the battle so here we go.

Monsters: 5 Goblins, 2 Dark Dwarfs
Boss: Rune Knight
Difficulty: 2.5/10

Before you begin your battle there is going to be an earthquake. The 
Rune Knight starts to talk and tries to find a key to that big door. 
They will try to stop you but it shouldn't be so hard. Here is how I do 
it. First kill the Goblins in the front of the line. Then kill the two 
Dark Dwarfs and if you want, kill the other Goblins after, then defeat 
the Rune Knight. When you gain 100 EXP you will gain a level. That's 
awesome!

I recommend you Egress out of battle and try to gain up to level 3. 
That means DO NOT destroy the Rune Knight just yet kill all of the 
other monsters first and try to get to Level 2 then use your Egress 
spell and do the battle over again and get to Level 3. Then kill the 
Rune Knight. But if you get everyone to Level 3 and there is still 
monsters on the field just kill the Rune Knight to end battle. After 
the first battle another battle will start outside the Gate of the 
Ancients. If you need to save and revive at the Mountain Hut.

Battle Party: Max, Ken, Tao, Luke, Hans, Lowe, and Gong
Victory Conditions: Destroy all enemies. Get to Guardiana.
Clear Bonus: Clear in 12 turns to receive DwarfBuster.
Enemy Cards: N/A
Items: N/A

In this battle you can't take the short way to Guardiana because the 
earthquake has blocked it off. You have to take the long way, which is 
around the mountains. If you want the Clear Bonus you have got to move 
quickly. If anybody has died use your Egress spell and revive him or 
her at the Mountain Hut.

Monsters: 6 Goblins, 3 Dark Dwarfs, and 2 Rune Knights
Boss: N/A
Difficulty: 3/10 (5/10 if you want the Clear Bonus)

If you have the movement code on this battle can be really easy! I 
recommend you at least try to get the DwarfBuster for Max because you 
will really need it if it has past the 12th turn Egress and try again.
Try to get everyone up to Level 4. After the battle head straight into 
Guardiana.

*****************************
Recommended Level: 4
New Members: Gort and Mae
New Cards: Gort
Items: Antidote, Angel Wing, Power Wine, Defense Potion, Rousing Ring, 
and 1 Empty Chest

When you enter Guardiana the two guards at the entrance will talk to 
you that Runefaust has invaded their country. So now it's time to get 
Gort. On the right of the Item and Weapon shop go into that building 
you will see Gort on the right. Talk to him. Luke will come up and tell 
you that Gort is a great warrior and he wants you to let him join. Then 
Gort joins.

GORT joins the Shining Force!

Now you can go to the Weapon shop. Buy Luke the Short Axe, and at the 
Item shop you can buy some Herb or some Seed if you're out of any, and 
buy a couple of Steel Rings for some people to equip.

Now go into the castle and you will see Kane and Varios in battle. Kane 
says that he has found what he was looking for The Light Saber! Then 
Varios will tell him there is no such thing in Guardiana. So then Kane 
uses his sword the Dark Saber. Then Varios dies. Then Mae comes and 
tries to stop Kane, and Kane attack and then Max blocks his attack, and 
Kane asks who he was and he says his name is Max. Then Kane starts to 
get a pain in his head about something. You'll find out later on. So 
then Kane leaves. Now you will see the king he will tell you to go to 
Manarina and see his daughter Anri. Then Mae joins!

MAE joins the Shining Force!

Now talk to Ward and he will tell you that the Light Saber belonged to 
Max himself! Ward said a knight found a bag along shore after they 
found Max, and it had a sword in it that was as light as a feather. So 
he hid the sword in the treasury by the castle.

Ok now we need to get some items. First go to the treasury on the left 
of the castle and get all the items in the chests. Antidote, Angel 
Wing, Power Wine, Defense Potion, and the Rousing Ring. Use the Power 
Wine on someone in your battle party that has low attack power, DO NOT 
use it on Tao, use the Defense Potion on Tao! If you don't want to use 
it on someone else, and equip the Rousing Ring on Max for now. (It's an 
Anti-Sleep).

Now to get Gorts Card. Not Mae's you don't get hers till Chapter 2. 
Exit the castle and go straight to the left of the Weapon and Item 
shop. Go across the bridge where the doghouse is and the dog, and talk 
to the Granddaughter of Gort a couple of times in the House by the 
doghouse. Now you got GORT's CARD!

Exit town and prepare for another battle for Alterone!

***3. Battle 3***
*****************
Battle Party: Max, Ken, Tao, Luke, Hans, Lowe, Gong, Gort, and Mae
Victory Conditions: Destroy all enemies
Clear Bonus: In 10 turns 400 Gold Coins
Enemy Cards: N/A
Items: N/A

Before you start Nova recommends you use a decoy so you can get to 
Alterone. NO not yet you have to get everyone to level 5. It maybe 
tough for Gort and Mae because they're only on Level 2. But that 
doesn't stop you! Have Gort and Mae attack the Dark Dwarfs. If you 
almost run out of enemies and you didn't get your party to Level 5. 
Then Egress and do it again! This works perfectly with CodeBreaker 
codes because if you had the Movement code on you can get to Level 5 
and then you don't have to kill all the enemies you could just get Max 
to Alterone it's that easy!

Monsters: 5 Giant Bats, 5 Dark Dwarfs, and 5 Rune Knights
Boss: N/A
Difficulty: 5/10 (3/10 if you plan to use the decoy method to Alterone)

There is now no more Goblins in the on your journey. But now there is 
Giant Bats they are very tricky to hit! They can put you to sleep too!
So be careful! It is a lot easier to hit them with swords, spears, and 
magic. Again I recommend you have Gort and Mae attack the Dark Dwarfs 
because they can get 48 EXP from then on till they are at Level 4. Tao 
should have Blaze Level 2 now so the battles will get easier with her 
around! But don't use it all the time though because you will really 
need it on the Giant Bats and the Rune Knights. After the battle head 
to Alterone.

first go to the first house to the left and go down stairs and get the 
Bronze Lance and the 70 Gold from the two chests. Give the Bronze Lance 
to Ken and equip it. Then get out of that house and talk to the lady in 
weird clothing with the crystal ball on the left of that building that 
you were just in. Then she will say do you want to know your future say 
yes and she will say the road that lies north of Rindo is with monsters 
and you will not get pass.

Ok now to get more gold and goodies! First go to the house with the a 
door leading inside and there will be another door go in that one and 
you will find a Medical Herb, put it in your item box. Then go to the 
Church it's on the left of the castle and get the chests with some 
goodies in it In one of the chest you'll get the Middle Sword equip it 
onto Max and the other a Healing Seed. Now go by bridge by the river 
and you will see a girl standing at the bank, if you go to the right of 
the girl you will see a cart push the cart towards the girl then talk 
to her and she will say that you got mud all over her new dress. So she 
pushes you into the river and onto an island with a chest open the 
chest and you'll receive a Power Wine. Use the Power Wine on anyone 
that doesn't have enough attack power except Tao. Then run back into 
the river and you'll be by the girl again.

Now go into the place below the Church and go down the stairs to get a 
Medical Herb. Now go into the Weapon Shop and open the three chests to 
receive a Healing Seed, and 2-50 Gold.

Now go back into the Weapon Shop and talk to the Merchant in the middle 
and he'll ask you if your name is Max say Yes. Then he'll say if 
Guardiana has been wiped out say Yes again. Then he'll go inform to the 
castle. Then he'll come back and he'll say that it's ok to go into the 
castle now. But first we have to buy some weapons. Buy a DwarfBuster 
for Luke and Gort. In the Item shop you could buy and equip some Evade 
Rings to a couple of people too. Then buy a Voodoo Staff for Tao and 
Lowe. Now you should be all set to go into the castle.

Go into the castle and talk to the people and search the castle for 
goodies. You should find Wooden Arrow, Healing Seed, Life Loaf, Middle 
Sword, 100 Gold, Defense Potion, and a Wooden Staff. First of all 
discard the Wooden Arrow and the Wooden Staff, put the Healing Seed in 
your Item Box, Give and Use the Life Loaf on Tao, Give and Equip the 
Middle Sword on either Luke or Gort which ever has lower attack power, 
Give and Use the Defense Potion on who ever needs more Defense, and 
there is more chest to be found but you don't get them after Battle 4. 
Oh yeah MAKE SURE at the end of every battle you check the Deals in the 
Weapons and Items Shops they might have VERY good weapons, because if 
you check it now there will be a Jagged Flash in there for Luke or 
Gort. Equip it on whoever has the lowest attack power. The Jagged Flash 
can always hit flying monsters. Look at the Weapon & Item Shops section 
for more information.

Ok go down the stairs on the left of the king and keep going a guard 
will stop you and say you can't go past. Did you notice the two Rune 
Knights at the top? The guard will say Rune Knights? What Rune Knights? 
There are no Knights here. Now go back up stairs. Do as told. I'll tell 
you what's down there after Battle 4 because then you can go down 
there.

Now talk to Khris. She's right below the king. Talk to her then talk to 
the King of Alterone. He'll tell you some things and then he'll leave 
follow him. (On the right of the stairs is the Wooden Arrow). Go down 
the stairs and you'll meet 2 Rune Knights and...Kane! Talk to Kane and 
he'll throw you into jail with the priest in there too. Talk to him and 
save. Then search the bars of the cell and Khris will come and let you 
out. Talk to her again and she'll join.

KHRIS joins the Shining Force!

She'll show you a secret passage take it! Up north you'll see a chest 
with a Healing Seed in it take it and put it in your Item Box. (You 
could've gotten that chest before you got thrown into jail you just go 
into headquarters and keep going right). Now if you follow the passage 
it'll lead to headquarters. Before you exit make sure each person on 
your Battle Party has at least 2 Healing Seeds or Medical Herbs with 
them, and equip the Rousing Ring on Khris because this next battle has 
bats and you really need to level up Khris!

Now exit and prepare for your 4th and final battle of Chapter 1!

When you start you will see Kane and he's telling you that you're going 
to die here and he's going to watch! Uh-Oh! Then Rune Knight comes and 
says that Lord Darksol wants him to go back to Runefaust at once 
because they have new information. Whew! That was close! Anyway this 
battle may be tough. Because now there is a Dark Mage and 2 Snipers! Be 
careful because the Dark Mage can cast Blaze Level 2 and the Snipers 
can shoot Bows and Arrows. But they're easy to kill. Try to get the

This is a pretty tricky battle. I'd say first attack the Bats. Oh yeah 
make sure that Khris is equipped with the Rousing Ring. Have Khris 
attack most of the enemies until she is on Level 5, then Egress and do 
the battle over and have EVERYONE attack until they are on Level 6. If 
you win the Jagged Flash give it to Luke or Gort whoever doesn't have 
the one you got from the Deals section.

After the battle you will see Khris again and she says she wants to 
stay with the Shining Force. So then Khris actually joins the force. 
Then Lowe comes and he says that he really likes Khris. So then Khris 
leaves. Now go on the right of the building with the two doors on the 
left of the castle that go inside it, and stand between the two bushes 
Yogurt comes and starts jump roping and exercising. Then you just have 
to wait till he's done then he'll go away. I just wanted to show you a 
secret you didn't have to do it. We're going to get another card 
Khris's card. Talk to the person walking around right outside the 
castle a couple of times and he'll give you KHRIS's CARD!

Anyway go into the castle and go to the room on the left of the king 
and that's the room with the 2 Rune Knights that ran away. Now you can 
enter. There are three chests. The two that are on the sides are empty 
and the one in the middle has 50 Gold Coins in it. Oh yeah MAKE SURE at 
the end of every battle you check the Deals in the Weapons and Items 
Shops they might have VERY good weapons, because if you check it now 
there will be a Jagged Flash in there for Luke or Gort. Equip it on 
whoever has the lowest attack power. The Jagged Flash can always hit 
flying monsters.

Now before you do anything make sure you HAVE everything you need! If 
you do then talk to the king and he'll show you a Dragon's Head Statue 
that has a chain inside. But first you have to say yes before he'll 
show you the statue. Then go to the statue that was displayed and 
search it. Pull the chain and a secret passage will show through the 
waterfall that leads you to the town of Rindo!

It will tell you that the Shining Force has come across the town of 
Rindo a town of Merchants that is close by the mage town of Manarina. 
Where you need to see Anri.

CHAPTER 1: RUNEFAUST INVASION: OVER!

When this little epilogue starts you will see Darksol, Ramladu, Elliot, 
and Balbazak having a conversation about the Shining Force and how 
Darksol's forces couldn't open the Gate of the Ancients by Guardiana. 
So Darsol plans to open the eastern gate another Gate of the Ancients 
by Runefaust. Now then Narsha tries to budge in and yells at her father 
(Ramladu) because Runefaust attacked Guardiana with no reason. So then 
King Ramladu traps Narsha in her bedroom and she starts to think if her 
father is possessed by Darksol. Then all of a sudden 2 Mages come and 
they say that they have brought a message from Lord Darksol saying that 
they're going to put her to sleep and she won't feel any pain because 
they said that she is so beautiful that she belongs in heaven. Then all 
of a sudden someone comes...Mawlock the Card Master! He destroys the 
two mages and explains what is and what he's doing there. He explains 
that she has the blood of Ramladu and she can fight. He wants her to 
meet up with the Shining Force and help them through their adventure. 
So then she says that she must leave her kingdom and meet up with the 
forces of the light and when she returns she doesn't want to but she 
has to defeat her father because he has changed by Darsol. So then 
there is a flash and enemies surround Narsha, and she wonders why 
Mawlock isn't there. So then a Battle begins with just her. That sucks! 
But these enemies are so easy and she has the Attack Level 1 spell! Now 
for battle!

Items: 2 Medical Herbs, and 1 Shower Cure

You can beat the battle by losing too. But I recommend you finish the 
battle so you can level up. Here is my battle strategy. Have Narsha use 
Attack Level 1 on herself. Then get the chests, which contain Shower 
Cures, Medical Herbs, and Healing Seeds. Make sure you don't get too 
over flowed with items because the items will go into your Item Box, 
which can also be used, by Max and the Shining Force, and with Narsha's 
battles you can't get items from the Item Box.

Monsters: 4 Giant Rats, 3 Giant Spiders, 2 Giant Scorpions, and 1 Dark 
Mage
Boss: N/A
Difficulty: 3/10 (With Zuika 1/10)

After about 3 turns a wall will break open and Narsha thinks it's enemy 
reinforcements, but it's not it's Zuika an insect type creature who 
joins Narsha because he said that he felt good inside Narsha so he'll 
help with the battle. Now it's EASY! If anyone gets hurt have Narsha 
use her Aura spell.

When you first enter Rindo go to Headquarters and talk to Mae a couple 
of times and she'll finally give you her card! Now you finally got 
MAE's CARD, now let's get down to business.

First of all go to the Weapons Shop right nest to Headquarters and buy 
a Power Staff for Tao, Lowe, and Khris. Then go to the Items Shop and 
buy a couple or more Charm Rings for whoever needs it if you have 
enough money. (The Charm Ring raises Magic Resistance by 10%). Then buy 
some more things if you need them. Now there is play you can watch I 
think it's funny it's the building right above Headquarters. Check it 
out!

Now go talk to some people to find out more things that are 
interesting. You can talk to Broken in the Weapon Shop up the stair for 
information you'll meet him several times in the game and NO he doesn't 
join that's a pity. Ok now go to the building with the bars around it 
in the top right-hand corner of town and go in and open the chest to 
receive the only item in town for now on the SPEED RING, which raises 
Agility by 4! Equip it on whoever needs it. Then go to the building 
right above it that is where Gunts is. Which is the home of the famous 
Dr. Crock! He'll show you Gunt's steam suit you have to watch it in 
order to get Gunts in Chapter 4. After that go to the mayors house 
which is between the church and where the Speed Ring was and talk to 
the Mayor. Max says that the King of Guardiana has passes away so then 
he'll open the fence to the West of Rindo so you can go to Manarina.

If think about it Luke and Gort both have the Jagged Flash now so they 
can get rid of the Giant Bats. If you want to get to Level 7 remember 
to Egress if no one has gotten to Level 7. Here's a tip if you want to 
make your group gain levels fast do this. Whoever you want to gain a 
level give them the Rousing Ring and have them attack till they are on 
Level 7 then have them give the Rousing Ring to the next person you 
want to gain levels and so on and so on. If you gotten everyone to 
Level 7 and if there is still monsters out there, put a decoy with 
massive defense power like Luke or Gort then have Max sneak into 
Manarina! Try it if you have already gotten to Level 7. After battle 
head right into Manarina or go back into Rindo if you forgot anything.

When you enter Manarina talk to some people before you go inside. Then 
when you go inside you'll go straight to Anri. Max will say that her 
father (King Guardiana) has passed away from the army of Runefaust. So 
then Tao will come and talk to Anri about Max and why he was at 
Guardiana. So then it will show a scene with Max and Anri talking. Max 
talks about why he was at Guardiana and that he lost his memory. So 
then Anri says enough and she knows all about the Runefaust army from 
Ortrant So then Anri joins!

ANRI joins the Shining Force!

After the little sequence Anri will be talking to Tao and Tao will say 
that her and Anri should fight together and Tao will fight with her 
life to protect Anri if she has to, but then Anri says nonsense she can 
protect herself so now you can walk around. After Anri joins if you 
have a Steel Ring in the Item Box give her one!

Ok before we forget I'll show you another secret DON'T go into the door 
where Anri was standing go back to Rindo and somewhere around the town 
you will see Yogurt digging a hole somewhere! I'm not sure where he's 
at though because I accidentally missed it so when I play again I'll 
make sure I don't miss it again!

Now go back to Manarina and don't go in the door where Anri was 
standing. Go to the right and talk to some people for information, 
special things, and other cool stuff! Then go to the place with all the 
bookshelves and go to the door on the left and talk to the mage a 
couple of times and he'll give you information about a Domingo Egg. He 
says to check that machine. Search the colorful machine to the left and 
you'll get the Domingo Egg! Put it in your Item Box for now it'll be 
use to you later on. Now go in the stairs on the top right of the place 
with the bookshelves and when you get to the next part DON'T go up the 
next set of stairs! Talk to the wizard by the weird machine first. 
She'll say that she has invented a machine that can change a human into 
an animal! Say yes and watch. Pluck...Pluck...Pluck...Now you are a 
CHICKEN! You can't talk to anybody or go back the way you came so just 
have to go to the stairs to the left so go in. Now keep following the 
path till you come with a mage and a set of stairs going up and down. 
Take the one that goes up and now follow the path till you see a mage 
standing by a slide PUSH him down! Now go down the slide and down the 
stairs until you see a guard. Talk to the guard and he'll let you 
through. Then go in the door and talk to the wizard she'll turn you 
back into a human. After you've been turned back get the chest to 
receive TAO's CARD! Now that you have gotten Tao's card now it's time 
to get Anri's card. First go back the slide and go up it you won't fall 
down. Now go to the mage that is by the two stairs going up and down 
and take the stairs going down this time. You'll be in Anri's room. 
Search the bookshelf and you'll receive ANRI's CARD!

Talk to some people that you have missed. Especially Arthur witch is by 
the 2 T-Shirts up in the stairs by the machine that turn you into a 
chicken. Then watch the person by the slide tries to climb back up, and 
many different things.

Now that you've done everything I had said go into the door at the 
entrance where Anri was and go in. Talk to the girl in the blonde hair 
for information then talk to Ortrant right above the girl with blonde 
hair. He's the leader of Manarina. Max tells him that he is a pupil of 
Lord Varios of Guardiana, and then he says he thinks he heard his name 
before but then he says never mind. Then he asks if Runefaust attacked 
Guardiana. Then Max says it's true. Then he asks you to retrieve a 
special item for him in the Cavern of Darkness called the Orb of Light 
because he thinks it's the key to unlock the mystery of the Legacy of 
Gods. Now go in the door above Ortrant and keep going down and talk to 
the wizard and he'll say that you can't escape the Cavern of Darkness 
alive. Now it's time to battle!

Now onto battle number 7!

that. You can still get members to join but you can't put them in 
battle. So if you want to have someone on the battle field and someone 
you don't want, go into Headquarters and talk to Nova and go to the 
TEAM option and the members with the O (Circle) by them that's the ones 
that are going into battle with you and the ones without the circle 
aren't going into battle with you. If you want someone in just press 
the A Button to uncheck them then check the one that you do want in. 
That's all for that!

Now if you are going to have Arthur on the battlefield with you, equip 
the Power Ring on him. And if you have some Steel Rings in the Item Box 
give one of the Steel Rings to him.

Now we're all set! First you can go to the Mayor's house and he'll say 
that you can't use his family boat till you find his Grandson because 
he was never seen anywhere. And if you find his Grandson you can use 
his boat as much as you like! Wow that cool! As so we think.

Well first of all if you talk to everybody they'll have some new 
information about that you've gone to Manarina and there is now a 
circus in town.

Anyway now to begin. Go to the place where the circus is supposed to be 
and now there's a circus there! Talk to the merchant by the man at the

to run. And Max wants stay because he needs a ship. So then Max runs 
back to Rindo! AAAAHHHHHHH! That sucks. Then the ship sinks.

Now after your ship sunk you have to go to the Mayor's house. So do it 
and talk to him. And he'll say that that was the last boat in Rindo and 
not having a boat would be a tough journey. Then he'll ask you if you 
really have to go east say YES. Then he'll say avoid Bustoke and cross 
over the Pao Plains. That's unnecessary because you're going to be 
there anyway. And go to Urbanatol there will be a ship. And if you need 
guidance you should go to Shade Abbey. And if you want to know more ask 
his son.

So ask his son the merchant above him and he'll say if your going north 
from here you should go to Shade Abbey first. In the abbey you will 
find someone to guide you. Then, you should be able to safely negotiate 
the mountain road to Bustoke. 

Now you can save and exit Rindo and head north to Shade Abbey.

knew more about the legacy more than the king of Guardiana. So he

army doesn't know about the secret passage that they're taking. Then 
Narsha says the old Guardiana army has regrouped on the western 
continent, with new troops. And that they are fighting Runefaust and 
they have to join up with them (The Shining Force).

Before the battle begins Narsha and Zuika are now talking right by the

port now a battle begins! This battle may be tough because of the 
Kraken in the water! And the boss is Gobgovitch he's pretty easy!

Monsters: 7 outlaws and 1 Kraken
Boss: Gobgovitch
Difficulty: 5.5/10

This can be pretty easy. First of all have Narsha use Attack Level 1 on 
herself to gain 8 more attack power. Then have Narsha and Zuika Level 
up to Levels 6-8. Have Narsha get the Defense Potion from the chest and 
use it on her. Now make sure Narsha or Zuika have one space left in 
their Item Slots now have Narsha or Zuika stand on the bridge and wait 
for the Kraken to attack you. After he does wait till Narsha's or 
Zuika's turn then have them attack and kill the Kraken. When dead he'll 
drop the Heavy Mace! If Narsha has it equip it on her, if Zuika has it 
give to Narsha and wait for Narsha's turn and then have Narsha equip it 
on herself. Now kill the rest of the Outlaws and now have Narsha attack 
and kill Gobgovitch to receive GOBGOVITCH'S CARD! After the battle 
Narsha and Zuika think about taking the ship but they agreed it's too 
risky because there's monsters out there. So then Mawlock shows up 
again and he wants to show them a machine that makes you go to anyplace 
you want to!

Now the Shining Force has arrived at the Mountainous town of Bustoke 
what could Runefaust be up to!

When you arrive at Bustoke talk to the people there. They say that all 
the men in Bustoke are working for Runefaust, and that a wolf named 
Zylo has gone crazy! So they locked him away.

Well there are so many things to do here so I'll tell you what to do. 
First DO NOT promote yourself just yet wait till Chapter 4, and then 
I'll tell you what to do. Now go to the item shop and buy each person a 
Silver Ring if you have the money. Then check the deals to make sure 
there aren't any new items, and then buy yourself as much items and 
weapons as needed.

Now go to the house with the red roof and talk to the lady on the left 
her name is Diane and she is an Archer like Hans! But she says talk to 
her mother first so talk to her mother on the right of her. She gives 
you some information about all the men that have been captured from 
their town, and she'll allow Diane to go with you. So talk to Diane and 
she'll now join the force!

DIANE joins the SHINING FORCE!

Now give her the Power Ring and put her on the group and take one of 
your Healers out (Lowe, Khris, and Gong). I'd suggest Gong, but it's 
your choice. But if you want to make arrangements you can like putting 
in Amon and Balbaroy. I suggest it like this put in Balbaroy give him 
the Power Ring and take out Gong. But again it's your choice.

Now go to the little place on the right of where Diane joined and 
you'll see a door going up. Go in it and you'll see a cave go in that 
and keep going up and you'll see an old man and Boken climbing up the 
mountain! Remember Boken from Rindo. You can't talk to him now though. 
But now if you want to see the place where Zylo is go to the left of 
that cave and keep going down the bridge and you'll see a girl guarding 
the den and the den where Zylo is! But if you talk to the girl she'll 
say that Zylo has gone crazy and only if they had Moonstone to cure 
him! Well get out of there and go back to where the Weapon and Item 
shops are and go right until you see a house go inside and talk to the 
old man he says to cure Zylo you need to go and save the men at Bustoke 
Quarry and grab the Moonstone and if you give the Moonstone back the 
old man he'll make Lunar Dew, which will cure Zylo!

If you keep going right you'll be at the Bustoke Quarry and a battle 
begins!

he'll kill them after they're done with their work. And that they found 
the secret weapon the LASER EYE and they moved it into position. Then 
Arthur says that it is his chance to show his power, and Hans says that 
the monster look gross, then Diane says, "Hans you're making us Archer 
look bad!" And Hans says oops I made her mad! Now the battle begins! 
LOL!

When you return to Bustoke DO NOT give the Moonstone to the old man 
just yet. I want to show you something! This is only if you want to see 
YOGURT again and if you want KOKICHI to join later on! Well go to the 
second door on the left of the Weapon and Item shops and go down the 
stairs and you'll see a man with wings that is Kokichi and his 
assistant standing there. Touch the machine that is bouncing around and 
Kokichi will tell you to keep your hands off his machine and Max says 
that he never seen a machine like that before so Kokichi takes you 
outside and shows you his demonstration. When he does it you'll see 
Yogurt flying with him! LOL! And then Kokichi crashes and Yogurt 
squeaks and goes away. Now if you would have given the old man the 
moonstone and then went to Kokichi you would have never seen Yogurt 
flying with him! 

Now go back to the old man and give him the Moonstone and he'll make 
Lunar Dew for you now go back to Zylo's cave and talk to the girl. 
She'll open the cage for you. And you'll automatically go inside. When 
you're inside you'll see Zylo and Zylo tells Max to go away or he'll 
tear him apart! So then Max tells him to drink the Lunar Dew and Zylo I 
guess was about to tear Max apart but then he told him to hurry and 
give it to him so Zylo drinks it and he makes a howling sound and then 
Diane asks Zylo if he's ok and Zylo says I'll be fine. Then Zylo asks 
Max if he was Max of the Shining Force and Max says yes, but how do you 
know my name? And Zylo says that he heard it from Lord Ortrant of 
Manarina! So then Zylo says he'll be a great help to you. So then...

ZYLO joins the SHINING FORCE!

Now go and talk to some of the people again and they'll say some 
interesting things! Now if you want go back to the cave on the way to 
Zylo's den the one where Boken and the old man are and Boken will be 
done climbing the mountain talk to him and he asks Max if Max wants to 
give it a try. Oh and go to Headquarters and I suggest you take out 
(this is your choice) one of these guys 1 Archer, 1 Knight, 1 Birdman, 
1 Warrior, or 1 Healer, which for me Khris is the last Healer in my 
group. I'd have to say Ken! So I'll kick out Ken and put in Zylo!

sequence going with the Laser Eye and then it says 10, 9...Then after 
the fifth turn it says FIRE! And the Laser Eye shoots a beam of light 
at anyone in its path or on Lone Bridge! And it even hurts the enemies 
too. That's awesome! Now once you get to the Laser Eye have Anri 
destroy it and you'll receive the LASER EYE'S CARD! Then make sure 
everyone is on Level 12! And when everyone is on Level 12 have Anri or 
Tao attack and kill the Silver Knight and you'll get another card the

When you arrive at Pao talk to the people there, well you really can't 
talk to all of them yet, but go to the building, where the item shop 
is, and talk to the dragon-like creature on the right his name is 
Elliot. He says he is the last of the remaining dragon newt on the 
planet. And he tells him he wants a to battle you. So after that all 
the buildings will now be open. So first go to the weapon shop (which 
is in the first train on the left) and buy what you need there then if 
you have to, then talk to the knight on the right and his name is 
Earnest and he is going to have revenge on Balbazak for killing his 
family, you'll see him again later on in the chapter. Now go to the 
item shop and do the same, and make sure if there is any deals. Some of 
the weapons you can't equip yet because you aren't promoted yet, but DO 
NOT PROMOTE just yet!

Now to get the Long Sword to get it go to the old man's house on the 
south east part of Pao and the chest is in there. Equip the Long Sword 
on Max and exit. Now we're going to get the Life Loaf, go to the 
caravan left wagon and get it from the chest.

Ok now to some more business. Go to the church (which is on the top 
left hand corner of town) and go around the Priest, and you'll see 
Yogurt again, he'll wake up and now he'll join the force!

YOGURT joins the SHINING FORCE!

Ok if you want to get a ring that will make you look like Yogurt, put 
him in battle and make him kill one enemy and he'll drop the Yogurt 
Ring! But the bad part is that Yogurt is useless he only has 1 ATT, 1 
DEF, and so on...except for his movement. I only try to get the ring 
because just to get the Yogurt Ring. But I recommend you don't try 
because it would be a miracle if you got the Ring.

Now to finally get Diane's Card, go to the Pao Pigs (on the right side 
of town) and you'll find Diane's Card in the top right hand corner of 
the fence. Now you got DIANE'S CARD! Well I forgot about this ring go 
to headquarters and talk to Pelle a couple of times and you'll 
receive...PELLE'S CARD! Now for ANOTHER card! Go to the far right 
caravan car and search the engine and you'll receive the 
useless...YOGURT'S CARD!

Now that we're all set go to the far right caravan and talk to the 
little girl, her name is Korin and she's the queen of Pao! She'll say 
that Elliot is a good man and he doesn't really want to take order from 
Runefaust and she doesn't want to see Max or Elliot fight in battle so 
she's leaving, and she wants you to let her know when you're ready for 
them to leave. Talk to her again and say yes and Korin will tell you 
that they are leaving now and she wants you to step outside, so you 
automatically will.

After they leave Kockichi will show up and asks if you were the man who 
saved Bustoke. Max says yes and he says he wants to thank the Shining 
Horse for saving them, so Max asks Kockichi if he's a little too old 
for fighting, but Kockichi says that give his wings a chance, and after 
Kockichi joins Max says it's FORCE not HORSE, but it's too late so...

KOCKICHI joins the SHINING FORCE!

After Kockichi joins, go to the left and you'll see a knight, his name 
is Vankar talk to him and he wonders if he's Max and Max says yes, then 
he says that is Korin talked to Max about Earnest and Max says no, and 
Vankar says that Earnest went to go to Balbazak's fortress to get 
revenge on Balbazak and that I should help him so now...

VANKAR joins the SHINING FORCE!

You can put Kockichi or Vankar in if you want, but I recommend you 
don't. Exit to the right and prepare to battle Elliot.

the bottom left hand corner and talk to the merchant on the right and 
he asks if he can warm up the Domingo Egg. Say yes, and he'll warm it 
up for you! Out of the blew DOMINGO appears then he'll join!

DOMINGO joins the SHINING FORCE!

After that go to the Pao Pig pen on the bottom right hand corner of 
town and talk to Guntz inside the Pao Pig pen. Now Guntz will give you 
info. And he'll join!

GUNTZ joins the SHINING FORCE!

Now to get Domingo and Guntz's cards. Go and talk to one of the Pao 
Pigs and they'll give you DOMINGO'S CARD! Now go into headquarters and 
talk to Guntz a couple of times and he'll give you GUNTZ'S CARD!

Then stay in headquarters and you can put in Domingo or Guntz if you 
want. I'd go with Domingo; you'll regret it later on! So I suggest you 
take out Gort and put in Domingo. Oh yeah, Domingo and Mawlock CANNOT 
be promoted! Now Mawlock CANNOT equip anything except for cards. So 
equip four of the cards you have and make it useful to use in battle.

Now to get the Caravan car with Queen Korin in it and take the chests 
behind her to receive the Steel Sword and the Eleven Arrow! Then talk 
to Queen Korin and she'll tell you that Earnest is in Urbanatol and he 
just beat the Cerberus! Then go to the Weapons & Deals shops to get 
what you need. Check deals too. There might not be any weapons you can 
buy now again because you still are not promoted. Remember DO NOT 
PROMOTE yet, I have a strategy to teach you! Well before you leave go 
to the first caravan car and talk to the guy right in front of you and 
he'll say that you have a package from Doc. Crock from Rindo. So you'll 
receive the Blaze Bomb! It can be used to get inside Urbanatol.

Now up from Pao (2) and you'll end up in the fortress of Urbanatol! And 
now for the longest battle in the game, well maybe!

***2. Battle 15***
******************
Battle Party: Max, Luke, Tao, Mae, Anri, Arthur, Balbaroy, Zylo, 
Narsha, Zuika, Mawlock, and Domingo/Put in Guntz for now for the Hell 
Hound Card!
Victory Conditions: Defeat the Hell Hound
Clear Bonus: In 10 turns you'll receive 4000 Gold Coins
Enemy Cards: Hell Hound/Guntz must take the final blow
Items: N/A
NEW MEMBER: EARNEST

Well now welcome to probably the longest battle in the game! It is 
going to be kind of tough and long if you do it my way! Ok this battle 
is tough, but you'll get through it. At first it'll show a scene where 
Luke is using the Blaze Bomb to blow up the Fortress. Then the battle 
starts! The Hell Hound cannot be hurt with fire remember.

Monsters: 10 Silver Knights, 3 Dark Priests, 2 Artilleries, and 3 
Pegasus Knights
Boss: Hell Hound
Difficulty: 7/10

Well this is going to be confusing, but try to level up to Level 14/U. 
Then NOW you can go back to Pao and PROMOTE all of your teammates and 
them level up to Level 9/P! This may take you an hour or two, but it's 
an easier way to get spells, and to get stronger. When you are Levels 
13-14 it may be tough to level up, because you only get about 20-35 
EXP, but after get promoted you'll once again regain 48 EXP for each 
enemy you kill. (Note: This only works if you have Mawlock's Card and 
if you completed the game once! If you don't have Mawlock's Card then 
just use each person to level up at a time!) My tick is where if you 
want to level up like two people at a time, I'll take Luke and Tao for 
example. Take out everyone out of your team except Luke, Tao, and 
Mawlock. Then have Mawlock equip Luke, Mawlock, and Tao's Cards, then 
once in battle when it's Mawlock's turn go to the MOVE menu and do it 
on Tao. Then now Tao will have two turns in one shot! Then when it's 
Mawlock's turn again, do the same thing except with Luke. Now Luke will 
have two additional turns! Again when it's Mawlock's turn again, use 
his card and it'll restore the used cards. Then do the same thing over 
with Luke and Tao and they'll have three additional turns!

Now when you're FINALLY ready have Guntz kill the Hellhound to get the 
HELLHOUND'S CARD! And to end the battle. You need Guntz for the card.

Recommended Level: 9/P
Recommended Battle Party: Max, Luke, Tao, Mae, Anri, Arthur, Balbaroy, 
Zylo, Narsha, Zuika, Mawlock, and Domingo

Then after the battle put back in the person that you took out to bring 
in Guntz. Now on to Urbanatol. When you get in the hallway you'll see 
Earnest he's too weak, but he says that he wants revenge on Balbazak! 
And Max says that they'll fight together. So...

EARNEST joins the SHINING FORCE!

And now continue to enter Urbanatol!
***********************************************************************

Recommended Level: 9/P
New Members: N/A
New Cards: Earnest
Items: N/A

When you're in Urbanatol buy what you need from the Items Shop. Then 
you can talk around to the Rune Knights and they mostly say that they 
give up and there's really no use fighting the Shining Force. So now go 
down where it shows a sign pointing down and enter. When you're in 
there, there's a room with a Rune Knight and a bookshelf. Search the 
bookshelf to receive EARNEST'S CARD!

Ok save, and then talk to the guard standing at the big door to enter 
the last battle! The battle with BALBAZAK!

***3. Battle 16***

Battle Party: Max, Luke, Tao, Mae, Anri, Arthur, Balbaroy, Zylo, 
Narsha, Zuika, Mawlock, and Domingo/Use Earnest for now to get 
Balbazak's Card
Victory Conditions: Defeat Balbazak
Clear Bonus: In 8 turns you'll receive the Merman Buster
Enemy Cards: Balbazak/Earnest takes the Final Blow.
Items: N/A

Ok when you begin Balbazak wonders why you took so long. Then he says 
that he and his Blue Dragon will defeat you! Well at the beginning you 
must have Earnest on the battlefield for now to receive Balbazak's 
Card! Well it's funny when you defeat Balbazak's Blue Dragon before you 
defeat Balbazak, because Balbazak says that you destroyed his pet and 
you're going to pay! Well his Blue Dragon isn't strong, but Balbazak is 
so be careful! But you'll meet his Blue DRAGON'S again in Chapter 8 in 
a stronger version!

Monsters: 5 Sea Bats, 2 Silver Knights, 3 Artilleries, 1 Dark Priest, 2 
Hellhounds, and 1 Blue Dragon
Boss: Balbazak
Difficulty: 4/10

This battle is somewhat easy now. Level everyone up to Level 10/P, and 
when Balbazak is left have Earnest kill him to get BALBAZAK'S CARD! Now 
you can take his ship and set off to see to get to the eastern 
continent! But then Balbazak says that he has something to tell him as 
long as he lets him go. But then right before your eyes Darksol appears 
and he says that Balbazak disobeyed him and then he says that Kane, 
Darksol, and you are...AAAAAAAARRRRRRGGGGHHHH! There goes Balbazak, 
Darksol kills him, then Darksol says do as the fool said and take the 
ship, but you'll never survive the voyage! Well they do and now the 
Shining Force sets off again! What will the Shining Force face! Well on 
to Chapter 5! 

CHAPTER 4: THE GREAT FORTRESS OF BALBAZAK: END
***********************************************************************

*************************************
***g. Runefaust (Chap. 4 Epilogue)***
*************************************
Watch the epilogue where Darsol complains that the Shining Force 
defeated Balbazak and Elliot. So Ramladu says that they were one of 
Runefausts best! But Darksol says that Kane is planning an attack on 
Dragonia! Then watch the rest to find out more I don't want to spoil 
the rest for you!

***E. Chapter 5: Gateway to the Hidden Shrine***
************************************************
Before the next battle, a scene will start between Max and Narsha, 
watch the scene, I personally think it's cool, and then the first 
battle on the sea will start!
