 '------------------------------------------------------------------------'

 To my "LUMINOUS ARC 2" guide for the Nintendo DS, the  much-awaited sequel
 to the quite successful  "LUMINOUS ARC"  that was released on the 14th  of
 August 2007.

 Expect these stuff from the guide:

 � Complete main walkthrough strategy guide
 � Complete Side Quests, Guild Requests + Others
 � Miscellaneous Tidbits & Info
 � Clean, crisp and professional looking FAQ

 The game is bundled together with a  MUSIC CD (OST), composed  by the ever
 popular Yasunori Mitsuda (of FF series, Chrono Trigger/Cross fame) kick so
 much ass, yes? It kicked a lot of money out of my wallet though : ( $69.90
 boohoo! Buuuut, everything is WORTH IT!

 Anyway, the purpose  of this document  is to guide  you in every  possible
 battle including  the Guild, please take note that  circumstances may vary
 sometimes if I said  "A," "B" might happened to you, in  other times  when
 doing "C" is the best you discovered that "D" is the better route to take,
 well, my  point is there is NO absolute  SURE-WIN strategy  and you should
 not take every word literally, just derive a little and add your own spice
 and everything will go smoothly.

 Also, I tend to be a little  bit of a storyteller  so there's bound to  be
 spoilers and if getting spoilt means  the end of the universe for you then
 reading this FAQ will be your undoing.

 I hate wall of text, unless  it's quirky, funny and hilarious to read,  so
 I won't  blab about laws and the police.  Sorry, I'd like to think that we
 humans could  do something more worthwhile  rather than wasting  resources
 over  a wall of text getting all legal and whatnot.  BUT!  This  had to be
 said regardless:

 Do not copy, reproduce, sell  for profit or anything along that line.  Ask
 and you shall receive.

 No other sites  are allowed to take my guide except for the ones  above, I
 have heard  cases where FAQ-writers were ripped off of their work and it's
 really sad, so I'm pretty skeptical about "lending" my guide to sites that
 has not been "fully-established."

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 THE QUEEN AND HER ROYAL KNIGHT SQUADS
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Carnava is known as "The Grand Kingdom," despite the fact that Carnava has
 been ruled by a Queen for as long as anyone can remember.

 Three major Knight Squads carry out the duty of protecting Queen and coun-
 try: Talon Squad, led  by Richter; Tusk Squad, led by Gaston; and  Stinger
 Squad, led by Steiner.

 Through the courage of the Royal Knights, and  with the cooperation of the
 Rev Magic Association, Carnava has spent the last millennia in peace.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 WITCHES AND WIZARDS
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Humans  with special  mental aptitude necessary to use magic are  known as
 Witches and Wizards.  They all fall under  the auspices of the  Rev  Magic
 Association. Members of the Association are bound to never use their magic
 to harm others.

 The six Witches  that are the best at using the  individual  elements  are
 called  Elemental  Witches.  Currently  Fatima, one  of  the six Elemental
 Witches, is  at  war  with  the  rest  of the Magic Association in what is
 commonly referred to as "The Witch Conflict."

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 SHADOW FROST AND BEAST FIENDS
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 The two  major  threats  of  the  citizens of Carnava are the Shadow Frost
 Witchm abd the mysterious  Beast Fiends  were first sighted about 16 years
 ago, and  while  nobody  has  any  idea  where  these extremely strong and
 violent creatures come from.

 Sighting  of  Beast Fiend  have  been  increasing  recently, and some have
 speculated that  the Beast Fiends  are tied to the actions of  Fatima, the
 Shadow Frost Witch.

                    [EXTRACTED FROM LUMINOUS ARC 2'S INSTRUCTIONAL BOOKLET]

___________________________________________________________________________


 ######################
 BATTLE MECHANICS (BM%)
 ######################

 I'll  only cover what's new in LUMINOUS ARC 2, basic fundamentals like mo-
 ving, attacking  are very well explained by Rasche, when given the  option
 to train  choose to go over it and Rasche will prompt you and the rest  is
 history. Or you can just refer to the instructional booklet provided.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 THE "ENGAGEMENT" SYSTEM
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Roland  can be engaged to a Witch in battle for a period of  [THREE TURNS]
 while he's engaged to a Witch he gained the following bonuses:-

 � Increase in stat values (ATK, MAG, etc)
 � Change of Element
 � New Arts Command
 � New Flash Drive

 .---------------------------------------------.
 | REQUIREMENTS FOR ENGAGING A WITCH IN BATTLE |
 |---------------------------------------------'--------------------------.
 | The Witch Roland  wishes to engage to [MUST PARTICIPATE] in battle and |
 | must be alive throughout the whole battle.                             |
 |------------------------------------------------------------------------|
 | Roland can only be engaged  [TO ONE]  Witch at one time, but once  the |
 | engagement expires [HE IS FREE] to engage to [ANOTHER] Witch.          |
 |------------------------------------------------------------------------|
 | Engagement will only [LAST FOR THREE TURNS].                           |
 '------------------------------------------------------------------------'

 "What good is it if the  engagement only last for three turns?"  The point
 here is not how  long the engagement will last but [WHEN]  do you actually
 uses it? Getting engaged as early as the battle starts will only result in
 waste. Instead save it for the 'big guy' or the head of the pack, Roland's
 stats  significantly skyrocket  when  he's engaged, one of the best way to
 make full  use of this system is to harvest enough DP, get  engage and un-
 leash hell on the boss with your FDs.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 EQUIPPING OF LAPIS & ITEMS
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Another new feature is the equipping of Lapis. Think of Lapis as something
 like a  [STAT BOOSTER], jewels  that enhances your stats  (ATK, MAG, SPD).
 Lapis can be  earned after every battle whether storyline or  via a quest,
 you'll usually  receive 2 or more at the end.  You equip Lapis exactly the
 same way you'd equip your weapon or armor.

 Sadly, I am disappointed with how you'll also need to equip items in order
 to use them in battle, each character is allowed up to 2 slots.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 DRIVE POINT/FLASH DRIVE SYSTEM
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 The Drive Point have three uses in battle:-

 .----------------------------.
 | DRIVE POINTS IS ABLE TO... |
 |----------------------------'-------------------------------------------.
 | Enhance the effect of items you're using.                              |
 |------------------------------------------------------------------------|
 | Increase the effect/damage of ARTS you're going to execute.            |
 |------------------------------------------------------------------------|
 | Unleash [FLASH DRIVE] to wreak havoc on the battlefield.               |
 '------------------------------------------------------------------------'

 A total of [300 PTS] can  be accumulated but you only need [100 POINTS] to
 execute a [LEVEL 1 FLASH DRIVE, 200 POINTTS FOR LEVEL 2 FLASH DRIVE, ETC].

 Points  can be accumulated  via performing of actions  like attacking  the
 enemy or casting of  spells and the likes even if you miss your target you
 will still score a couple of points, yes.

___________________________________________________________________________


 ############################
 STATUS (BUFFS/DEBUFFS) (BD%)
 ############################

 Status abnormalities, [BUFFS] being positive statuses  that enhances stats
 such as: [MAGICS], [TECH], [SPEED] and the like, while [DEBUFFS] are those
 negative ones like [POISON] and [CONFUSION] to name a few.

 .-----------------------.
 | BUFFS (STAT ENHANCER) |
 |--------.--------------'------------------------------------------------.
 | REGEN  | Restores HP every turn                                        |
 |--------+---------------------------------------------------------------|
 | MAG UP | Increases Magic power rating; powerful magic attacks          |
 |--------+---------------------------------------------------------------|
 | SPD Up | Increases Speed power rating; same effect as 'haste'          |
 |--------+---------------------------------------------------------------|
 | TEC Up | Increases Tec power rating; better chances at dodging attack  |
 '--------'---------------------------------------------------------------'

 .-------------------------.
 | DEBUFFS (ABNORMALITIES) |
 |--------.----------------'----------------------------------------------.
 | POISON | Loses HP every turn                                           |
 |--------+---------------------------------------------------------------|
 | MAG D. | Magic Down; lowers Magic power rating; weaker magic attacks   |
 |--------+---------------------------------------------------------------|
 | SPD D. | Speed Down; lowers Speed power rating; slower turns           |
 |--------+---------------------------------------------------------------|
 | TEC D. | Tec Down; lowers Tec power rating; slows to dodge             |
 |--------+---------------------------------------------------------------|
 | CONF.  | Confuse; May attack ally or enemy alike                       |
 |--------+---------------------------------------------------------------|
 | FROZEN | Frozen; Unable to move but is able to act (perform actions)   |
 |--------+---------------------------------------------------------------|
 | SIL.   | Silence; Unable to perform any form of ARTS                   |
 '--------'---------------------------------------------------------------'

 I might've missed a couple of things, let me know and I'll definitely cre-
 dit ya with a dash of <3vin'.

 ##################
 TIPS & HINTS (TH%)
 ##################

 These are not sure-win tips but they are pretty handy to keep in mind.  Do
 spare a couple of minutes to read 'em.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 ATTACK FROM THE SIDE, BACK OR HIGH ABOVE
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Attacking from the side, back or high above will result in more damage and
 higher accuracy as opposed to the front, this  tactic also applies for the
 enemy, they can use it on you, so avoid standing  next to high platform or
 terrain, etc.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 STOCK UP ON HEALING ITEMS
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 In LUMINOUS ARC 2 you have to equip items before you can actually use them
 in battle, hence is why if you noticed some character is able to use items
 and some couldn't, this is because either the items ran out or you did not
 equip them beforehand. Equipping items is the same as equipping weapon and
 armor as well as Lapis.  Go to the World Map and press X, choose Character
 and equip from there.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 LEVELING UP!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Same old golden  rule applies: if you're weak, go  back and level up,  but
 LUMINOUS ARC 2  only allows you to train in the form of Guild, so you have
 to go back  to  the  Royal Capital of Carnava  and accept quest to  go and
 level up, even if you have  completed  a particular quest before, you  can
 still accept it.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 LEVELING UP TRICK
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Certain ARTS can be used over and over again to accumulate EXP points, for
 example: Rina's [FIRST AID], Althea's [INTENTION] and Dia's [TREATMENT] to
 name a few all can be used on repeat EVEN if you're not afflicted with de-
 buffs or is already buffed up you can still earn those EXP points.  A good
 way to farm  EXP  is to kill off ALL ENEMIES on the battlefield except one
 and keep it alive, then go ahead and have fun reaping those points.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 SPEND TIME IN THE GUILD
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Be sure to spend "quality time" in [ELSA'S GUILD] over at [ROYAL CARNAVA],
 the importance of  leveling up become much more apparent in the later part
 of the game as you discovered the difficulty escalated to  a point it gets
 really ridiculous. Trust me! You won't regret doing repeats in the Guild.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 HARVEST "HARD-TO-GET" ITEMS FROM THE GUILD
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 The  [GUILD]  sometimes rewards you with something rare like  "ELIXIR"  or
 even high-tier [LAPIS]  (by "high-tier" I mean those Lapis that are in red
 color), when  a particular request  provide such item I  strongly  suggest
 that you spend time to harvest as many of these rare items as you can.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 SAVE! SAVE! SAVE!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Don't forget to save! On  the World Map press the  L should button.  Alas,
 "Luminous Arc 2" only  allows up to two save slots only, and  one  Suspend
 Save Data. :( the suspend data never "expires" even when you load it it'll
 still  be  there the next time you return to the title screen.  To Suspend
 your data simply press START during battle and choose the last option.

 Press  START  or tap the screen and you'll get to only choose  "NEW GAME."
 (for now) do  not hesitate and do so and the game  will immediately start.
 Brace your very self players for a long-ass conversations!

 When  you  get  the  chance  to go over training I strongly recommend that
 you do so, while the basic fundamental do not drastically change there are
 new changes in this installment though, and  they'll  soon  be revealed in
 the upcoming training tutorial! Go for it!

 '-------------------'----------------------------------------------------'

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 � STRATEGY
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 This is an easy battle; Roland will easily overpowers Rasch left and right
 just remember though to  abstain from standing anywhere near  any platform
 or Rasche might just attack you from above causing quite a bit of damage.

 The only ability (arts)  Roland possessed right now is "GALE SLICE"  which
 pretty much looks like a normal attack and hit for less  damage, whichever
 way you choose to defeat Rasche is up to you!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 � AFTERMATH
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Rina and everyone will rush over to the castle just to watch the fireworks
 for the special event the Kingdom is hosting, but something weird happened
 while they're there...

 '------------------------------------------------------------------------'

 An anonymous girl will  fall into Roland and a bit of argument will ensue,
 Rina will suggest we all hide inside Steiner's  laboratory cause something
 that big can't get inside.......(what?) has  it ever crossed her mind that
 something that big could bring down the  ceiling of a lame laboratory with
 a snap of its fingers?

 � STRATEGY
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 You cannot control Steiner for this battle, but  don't worry he fares well
 on his own so don't sweat it. My only suggestion for this fight is to take
 out the "Red Golem"  one by one by having everyone  attack a single  enemy
 till he/she goes down, Rina  and Althea will prove their  worth with their
 ranged attack and  magic respectively, Rasche  is a Lancer so his physical
 attack is naturally two-tiles  away which is good, keep everyone  in shape
 and do this swift and quick and Josie and the pussycats will go down in no
 time.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 � AFTERMATH
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Everyone + old man Wendell  will make track to the  Queen Chambers  for an
 audience, apparently Althea is not being treated very nicely, I was hoping
 she'd go "Fire Bullet" in Steiner's face, that sore loser.

 | "Can you bring us peace (and probably some love, Roland?)" - Sophia    |
 '------------------------------------------------------------------------'

 As the Queen ordered: Roland is to go to the [BRILLIANT WITCH] to become a
 Rune Knight, some sort like a Magic Knight in order to bring peace and end
 the conflict with the Witches.  Steiner disagrees of course cause he is  a
 freakin' sore loser, hoo! Hoo! And  like Gaston had said: the Runic Engine
 chose Roland not you Steiner. Don't be such a lady.

 I've a strong feeling this will turn into a vile  plot-twist involving our
 one  and  only  sore loser: Steiner.  "Please don't be angry with  him, my
 brother is usually so kind" said Rina! Ha ha ha?

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 THE WORLD MAP + GUILDS + VISITING "AREAS OF INTEREST"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Ok, this is a first! LUMINOUS ARC 2  in every way and shape has  escalated
 in features, interface and  overall graphics, this game is freakin' shiny.
 The World Map can be traveled  all around (once you've accessed to places,
 of course) and the guild is now accessible too.

 If you visit towns  and castle you can gather  information from the  folks
 just like in LUMINOUS ARC 1  where you can choose to go to the  library or
 have a chat with the others.

 Let's visit the Royal Capital before we head out shall we?

 [CARNAVA PALACE]  is also available for  you to access, you should  gather
 info there especially in the Guest Room, haha. Hmm...unfortunately I can't
 find any shop to purchase anything for now, so off to the world map and go
 to Cathul Region's Calcus Highway.

 -- NOTE --

 Save and equip any Lapis you might have with you!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 CATHUL REGUIN / CALCUS HIGHWAY
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 More bickering between Rasche  and Althea, but it's a good insight  on the
 story of Luminous Arc 2  anyway.  Along the way you'll meet Rosetta Rosso,
 a bunch of no-gooders who  steals from people and they're  picking a fight
 with you.

 You only need to defeat Karen to end the battle, BUT DO NOT WASTE THE EXP,
 DEFEAT everyone! This  is  another  ridiculously  easy battle, as with the
 previous fight take everyone  one by one.  Karen may prove to be quite  an
 adversary with her  range attack, but make her your last priority  (if you
 are planning to  farm the EXP)  but if you just want to  end everything as
 soon as  you possibly could then going  for Karen with Rina and Althea  is
 recommended as they're ranged fighters.

 Whichever way you go, you're still a winner, dood!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 � AFTERMATH

 RR will  retreat and your next stop  would be Rev Magic Academy, yes?  You
 might want to save first (you know just in case)  before selecting the To-

 '------------------------------------------------------------------------'

 Watch the scene that unfold and Roland will be "engaged" to Althea and the
 option "Engage" will be made available! Cool, no?

 Miss Dia will suggest or it's more like asking  you to leave her alone and
 explore the school, Althea  will be your guide, your  first stop should be
 the President as something will happen there...or maybe not? You can go on
 ahead and explore other places, make President  your last stop.  If you're
 up for a  rather  funny conversation then choose the  "Take campus tour" >
 "Visit the dorms."

 I strongly suggest you go and upgrade your equipment and do some quests at
 the Guild  (do it over and over again to farm Lapis and equip  on all your
 characters). If one of the Lapis you've farmed is a [FIRE CRYSTAL] give it
 to Althea, it'll tremendously increase the potency of her Fire magic.

 [MAGIMINT] & [DRIVEPILL] aren't really necessary.  Once you're ready visit
 "To President."

 Fatima will burst through (Whoops!) and let's not forget that Josie, meow!
 After a bit of conversation everyone will  band together to send the Frost
 Witch away.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 � STRATEGY
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 At the start of this battle there will  be more talking and Roland will've
 to make a choice:

 1. "I fight for justice!"
 2. "You should cooperate."

 Use the D-pad to make the cursor appear or tap the screen, cause I stupid-
 ly thought that my DS  froze or something, haha! Lame ol' me.  And I'm not
 sure if it matter  what you chose but in case you're curious  I picked the
 first...I'm a justice man!

 All you need to do is defeat Fatima, but she's all the way at the back and
 you have to go through her minions before you get to her, so  it'd be wise
 to dispose of them (and farm the EXP).

 Also, Roland can now use engage with  Althea the Fire Witch, engaging with
 Althea enables Roland to  use FD (Flash Drive) and  his stats slightly in-
 crease in value and other misc  tidbits like the ability to use magics.  I
 strongly suggest you keep this for Fatima.

 This  battle has the potential to overwhelm you SOMEWHAT, Fatima can be  a
 pushover with her magic, if  you're not careful she can take one or two of
 your  characters with  a  snap  of her fingers, *SNAP* like that! Rina and
 Althena  is  the way to go eventhough Al's magic may not hit for much it's
 still better than nothing.

 And erm, try  to finish those Blue Bomb A.S.A.P.  if you leave them  while
 they're in critical HP status they'll explode in your face.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 � AFTERMATH
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Althea will faint like as if she fell from the 999999999999 floor, I guess
 she overexert herself? Hm, meow!  To  cure Althea of her burning fever one
 needs the Death Bettle, and the Beetle can be found at Mt. Redhelm, off we
 go, kids!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 � INTERMISSION
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Is a fun mini-game that existed in Luminous Arc 1, I won't go into details
 as  someone will probably make a specific FAQ on it.  Just know that when-
 ever you go into battle and someone has a [HEART] next to him/her it means
 you  can  have a intermission with the character in question. Have fun.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 � NEW REQUEST/S AT THE GUILD
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Head  back to Carnava and a new request  is up for grab! Though, do  check
 the Guild every chapter if you're  amiming for some kind of 100% gameplay,
 I  am  not  sure  if  completing the Guild will count towards your overall
 percentage gameplay?

 Once you're done with the conversation you can  "make camp"  and talk with

 good read. Once you're ready choose "Find the nest."

 The party of  three  will encounter a  "Kopin,"  the three of them will be
 confused and upset because they don't know what  that thing is (lol?), and
 before they could dive any further into  their depression the Death Beetle
 makes its appearance before you, time for battle.

 The Death Beetle has a name, it's "Radley." All you need to do to win this
 fight is to defeat Radley.  Considering he has about 700+ HP it might take
 a little while to whittle down his HP.

 This battle is also a good source  to earn EXP since reinforcements appear
 hmm...every once in a while?

 P/S: There's a green Kopin hiding and looking in this stage... Is  this an
      Easter Egg, or some kind of an evil plot-twist, or probably it's just
      the Kopin we encountered earlier.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 � AFTERMATH
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 You'll automatically  return to the Academy...watch  the scene that unfold
 and Althea will earn  her first Flash Drive.  Roland will also be able  to
 draw  magical powers from  Miss Dia (engage), and  obviously the Brilliant
 Witch is going to follow your ass wherever you go now...I think.

 There's a new quest available at  the Guild so feel free to take it up and
 give Dia a try or  something, gather bucketload of Rico and as much  Lapis
 as you can, don't  forget  to  resupply  on  medication [VITONIC], etc and
 equip those on all characters.

 Once you're ready, HEAD OUT!

 Ok, the enemy's name is really, really random.  I have one named  "Grrr" I
 lol'd very hard, something  is really weird too, did you guys noticed that
 when Pip got  attacked he sometimes cries "Master Roland, help!"  while  I
 know that  this is already programmed  or whatever I  still find it  kinda
 funny that Pip knew who is Roland when they've never met before.

 Ignore the Pip guy cause he can fight  very well and he has the [CURE] Art
 to restore his  lost  HP, but  if you're doing good yourself then  quickly
 defeat any enmies in your way and have Rina snipe those crabs for Pip. The
 Reptoid  and  Minotaur shouldn't pose any  problems as Dia's  and Althea's
 [BRIGHT ARROW]  and  [FIRE BULLET] (respectively) really hurts.  Just make
 sure to quickly wipe  out all the enemies here, besides eventhough I  told
 ya to ignore Pip, it doesn't really mean Pip's MP is unlimited. ;)

 The  terrain is  REALLY, REALLY  annoying where you can move  or  tread is
 really kind of limited unless you have the  [BUOYANT LAPIS]  with you then
 you can walk on water.  Your target here is [JOSIE], the Familiar, he  has
 the  [DARK PIERCE]  Arts which really hit for quite a bit if he used it on
 anyone of you then have Pip use [CURE] on the victim.

 You can't really waltz  right up to the cat with  the rest of his  minions
 blocking the way, quickly  remove the [ELEMENTS + GOLEMS] with either Rina
 or  Rasche  and have Roland  slowly make his way up towards  [JOSIE], this
 awful cat will  almost always "hit-and-run" on you  ([DARK PIERCE] + RUN),
 to make quick work use Dia's [BRIGHT ARROW]  and Althea's [FIRE BULLET] an
 [INTENTION-ED]  Al will deal slightly more damage and [BRIGHT ARROW]  will
 naturally burn the hell out of [JOSIE].

 Well, the sighting of  Luna turned out to be  false what was reported  was
 actually a  lifelike statue of the person we're looking for  made by a man
 named [KAPH]! Watch the hilarious scene that unfold and be on your way!

 There's quite a bit of things you can do:

 � New quest at the guild [DELIVERY 2]
 � Talk with the townspeople of Mistia
 � Shop for new equipment!
 � GO AND FREAKIN' LEVEL UP (BY DOING REPEATS)*

 *I suggest you go level up a little bit for everyone, LUMINOUS ARC 2 isn't
 really a walk  in the park, in later part of the game the  difficulty will
 shine much brighter than Miss Dia's horrible personality. :(

 You can also go ahead and talk with everyone in town there are really some
 interesting conversations, and most importantly to go shopping and upgrade
 everyone's equipment.

 When  you're done with all your  chores visit  [MEET AT PLAZA]  to proceed
 with the storyline. [ROSETTA ROSSO] will crash the party and you will have
 to fight! Blame Miss Dia and her leader/Witch instinct.

 You only need to defeat Karen to end this battle, but why do that when you
 can go on a EXP-reaping  spree with all the others, this  fight will  also
 spawn [REINFORCEMENTS] after a couple of goons has been defeated.  Do take
 note that Karen is a ranged fighter like Rina but her attack power is weak
 and is nothing much to worry about.

 Dia, Rina and Althea will  prove to be very valuable here especially Rina;
 her SPD and ATK are  simply off the hook, Althea is great when powered  up
 with  [INTENTION], have  the  Witches deal with the Wizards and the  melee
 fighters deal with the Archers and Karen.

 The "DBot" are easily taken care of by Roland and Rasche's physical attack
 this is yet another fairly easy battle to overcome.

 Brace yourself for another long-ass conversation, you'll  be in the  World
 Map soon after.  Since we're in Chapter 8 there are two new [GUILD REQUEST
 you can  take up now: [BULL RUSH] and [RIBBIT UP].  The Bull Rush one  re-
 wards you with a rare  item known as an [ELIXIR] which fully heals both HP
 and MP completely  (tell me where else are you gonna get your hands on  an
 infinite supply of [ELIXIR] now?). I STRONGLY SUGGEST YOU DO THIS QUEST AS
 MANY TIMES AS YOU POSSIBLY CAN OR UNTIL YOU'RE FREAKIN' SICK OF IT!

 This is  also a good chance to level  up on weak party  members especially
 Althea, this crimson  Witch has really high [MAGIC ATK] rate, you may want
 to spend time  to mould her up real good.  Also, as  a  warning  you're up
 against  a  two-parter battle  later so check  everything  and when you're

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 You'll start  the  battle with a little bit  of conversation, tch!  Choose
 either one if  you want, I  chose to back Althea up. Both Althea and  Luna
 are required party members.

 The terrain  yet again is really annoying, only  Luna can  walk  anywhere,
 it's only  because she's a [ SWIM TYPE].  Also, try to have Rina and  Kaph
 in your  party formation  as their ranged attack  are really good to  have
 here!

 Now, while it  may be tempting to go straight  at Fatima, don't take  that
 path yet! Instead focus your  attention on the rest of the enemies, remove
 them as  quickly as you can, and  as long as you  do not defeat  4 of  'em
 Fatima will not move, when  you've cut down on the enemy forces the  Frost
 Witch will  step forward, now  is the time  to remove  what's left on  the
 battlefield and go for Fatima herself.

 She'll keep abusing  [DARK PIERCE]  if you level up your  party well, this
 attack will  not hurt as much, to  make quick  work of battle build up  on
 Althea's FD and unleash  [PHILIA BLAZE]...mine did about 345 HP of damage.
 (keep using  [INTENTION]  to accumulate FD Points).  Once you've  defeated
 the Witch be prepared for another battle with [JOSIE].

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 This battle is much, much easier as  compared to its predecessor.  You can
 apply the same strategy as before: have  both Rina and Kaph do most of the
 work and have Roland and Althea build up  their FD to unleash on Josie and
 focus on defeating everything else first! if you need some healing prowess
 I suggest you bring in Pip rather than Luna since her [PURIFYING WATER] is
 pricey at 14 MP, you'll save a lot with Pip.

 Keep everyone health in check and this battle is a blardy breeze. 

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 � AFTERMATH
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 A small argument will  occur due to Dia's  dishonesty and a suprise  guest
 will pop up! Seriously, how  can he watch  his  own  two  sons  and  their

 could have helped out, geez!..... Oh whoops! Did I like gave away the clue
 to the surprise guest? :( so much for suprises, then...lol.

 we all know why Imageepoch added the L button SKIP function, mwa hahahaha!

 There will be a short break, you  can choose to go on or have some tea, do
 whatever you want! But  since we're in a new chapter already...you guessed
 it there's a new  [GUILD REQUEST]  up called  [WET SPIRIT], the  reward is
 2000R, that's  not too bad you will  need the money for equipment  upgrade
 and misc purchases, go do it repeatedly to your <3 content.

 When you've chosen  to proceed with the story [POP] will pop up out of no-
 where and disagree with all of you. A fight is inevitable.

 Only 3 are allowed in this fight, meh, actually you only get to choose the
 other two as Roland is required. I chose both Luna and Rina cause Range is
 good! This is actually an easy fight your main focus here is to remove the
 two [NATURE KOPINS]  first then concentrate on [POP], Luna  can heal when-
 ever necessary, Rina can snipe from four tiles away and Roland can  engage
 when he has accumulated enough FD and unleash it on Pop! (if you bring  in
 either Dia or Althea, but since I bring neither I can't engage).

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 � AFTERMATH
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 You'll finally get engaged to Luna.  Eventhough Steven said he would  help
 you can't really use this geezer for battle, nevermind he'll die soon any-
 way...I should hope. Next stop [JOTZENCHOC] > [GRANEND FRONT].

 affect  anything much at all, Rune Fang  is bascially your party.  After a
 lot of talking  you're on the world map again, go do  some leveling up  if
 you want  and perhaps some "prebattle nerves?" it's  really funny, really!
 Oh, and listen to Steven one last time.

 [TRAINING 2] rewards you with a [SILK ROBE] you can do repeats if you want
 I did it only  once cause  I seriously can't be bothered :P  I can just go

 Just like always  [JOSIE] will not move but his minions will, stay  on the
 ground there's no real need to hike all  the way up as you remove each and
 every one  of your adversary  [JOSIE]  will slowly come down.  I've to say
 this battle  is really easy ^_^ if  you spent  [QUALITY TIME] leveling  up
 and equipping [PROPER] Lapis.

 Do not panic if [REINFORCEMENTS] appear they're just [GOLEMS] you can kill
 for extra EXPERIENCE points. Althea will learn [FLAME PILLAR] at level 14,
 if you need  a multi-target magic;  [FLAME PILLAR]  is  the  way to go, of
 course, enhanced  with  [INTENTION]  for extra damage, it'll  really  hurt
 those [GOLEMS]. Oh! Beware of the [BOMBS] once they get critical in health
 they get really aggressive and will try to blow up in your face.

 It's also very easy to accumulate  points for this battle so  whenever you
 get the  chance  unleash  whatever  flash  you have onto the enemies for a
 quick victory.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 � AFTERMATH
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 [LONG CONVERSATION] ahead and  [STEINER]  will show up, this guy is really
 bad news! Back on the world map, re-equip on any items  that you may  have
 used up during the fight with [JOSIE] and also check up on  your Lapis and
 change accordingly, it's also wise to maybe do some leveling up.  Once you
 are all prepped up then head for [JOTZENCHOC] > [GRANEND FRONT].

 First off this is a  [TWO-PART]  battle, so I hope you came prepared cause
 they're  running  a  tight  ship  here! After what seems like a seriously,
 pointless conversation that has absolutely no meaning  whatsoever you will
 be on the world map. Save here and go do some  leveling up if you have to,
 prepare your  Lapis  and equip your party of  6 with the  latest equipment
 from [MISTIA] (if you haven't upgraded yet that is).

 Oh, since we're in the new chapter, [THREE] new quests are available.

 -- NOTE --

 If you noticed I've significantly  gone up a couple of levels for my party
 not just the six but all of 'em, it's  very important to balance them out.
 While it's tempting to just stick  with your favorite  six it's still wise
 to pay attention to  everyone  so you'll have a wider, better  choices  in
 character selections.  Cause not everyone  is the same in term  of  stats,
 some are fast  (Sadie, you'll know  who  she  is in due time), others  are
 brutal (Rasche), some are magically disastrous (Althea, for now) and  only
 one has the eye of the bull (Rina).

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 � STRATEGY
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 The trick here is  to stick together, luckily  there aren't any  enemy you
 can't really handle nor  are there any adversary  who has any multi-target
 spells.  If you bring in Althea, her  [FLAME PILLAR]  magic is useful here
 be sure to buff it up with [INTENTION] first. [REINFORCEMENTS] will appear
 when a couple of their  buddies fell in battle, keep  everyone HP in check
 as another battle will be coming up soon.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 A small conversation will occur  and you'll get two choices here, I  chose
 the second one  "Why use the Demon Blade?"  as of now I'm not exactly sure
 if any of these answers will have  an impact on anything in the  game, and
 as for the second  question  I  picked "Murder isn't peace!" Alright,  the
 real battle begin! [JOSIE] will  start the day with  [RUSTY RAIN]  causing
 your [ATK] and [MAGIC] to  go down by 20 points. If Althea is affected she
 can remedy her  [MAG]  stat with  [INTENTION].  This battle can be easy or
 hard depeneding on your LAPIS setup and  your level, if  you're  around my
 level or higher you should do fine if you're lower  than that then you may
 need to go level up somemore or  think up of a sure-win strategy.  [JOSIE]
 should be the first enemy that you can bring down, [FATIMA] is up next and
 last should be [MATTIAS] as long as you  keep everyone HP up with Luna and
 Pip (if you bring in both) then you should have no problem be sure to keep
 your FDs for [MATTIAS].  Oh, by the way beware of [FATIMA]'s [GRAVITY ICE]
 as it has the potential to freeze a target (like paralyze).

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

 It's  all too late, the  Master  has gone crazay and kill his own  friend!
 Also, a  new  surprise  awaits  you  as  you  found out that the Master is
 actually Roland's father....wait, did I just spoilt you? Oh nooo! It's not
 really a surprise anymore is it? ^_^ heheheheheh lame ol' me. It's quite a
 touching scene though, "daaay-ad-OMG daaaaaaaaaay-aaaaaaaaaaad!"

 some leveling up too! Two  new  requests are  up in the Guild and they are
 [BUG HUNT]  and [MONK MISCHIEF].  [MONK MISCHIEF] is a good quest to level

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 � STRATEGY
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 If you spent quality time in the  [GUILD]  then your level should be  high
 enough to wipe  this battlefield with ease.  The average enemy  level  for
 this map is 14  if I am not wrong and since  I'm reaching my  20s I'm able
 to OHKO (One-Hit KO) most enemies. Anyway, just stick to the lower part of
 the map and don't bother scaling up, but try to get  in close so the enemy
 will come down to you (this is what we call "luring in," you're the bait).
 The [CERBERUS] possessed a multi-target ability called [FIRE BREATH]  that
 may or may not hurt you, the  [VIPER]  will mostly waste their  turn using
 ranged magics like [AQUA HAMMER] on you so have your Sniper take 'em down,
 the only reinforcement that show up is a [GRYPHONX] that doesn't  pose any
 sort of threat have Roland or Rasche stab it to death.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 � AFTERMATH
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Everyone will start to think that the [FIENDS]  have gotten stronger, (er?
 I thought I WAS STRONGER?!)  a scene will occur which I personally really,
 really like! It  has a mature and touching feel to it. Next stop [CARNAVA
 PALACE] to meet Queen Sophia.

 allowed to go  battle with your friends without the Queen's  approval...or
 something like that.  Whatever, I don't know! After  you're done with  the

 [DELIVERY 4]  is a one-time only request and the reward: a  [FOCUS]  Lapis
 that regenerates 5%  worth of MP is quite a catch  (no wonder it's a  one-

 for  [ROYAL CARNAVA] > [CASTLE GATE].  This is a  [TWO-PART BATTLE]  you'd

 You need to keep [FUKUDA] the guard in front of the gate alive, but seeing
 as how  most of the fiends will  focus on your  party you can  worry  less
 about [FUKUDA] getting killed. Seriously, I am overleved a little bit, the
 highest level fiend for this map was only level 16. :\ if you bring in the
 snipers  (Rina and Kaph)  and  Witches  this  battle  is a breeze, you can
 mostly multi-target those bitches from tiles away, Roland should also be a
 little bit more powerful, if things get nasty just unleash your FDs.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Pop will join at level 16, how  seriously depressing! :( a conversation'll
 take place and you  get two choices again, I  picked  "Agree with Althea."
 [JOSIE] like always will take advantage of his [RUSTY RAIN]  to lower your
 [ATK, MAG] stats, like  always if this happens  to Althea you  can counter
 this with [INTENTION]. Take time to remove the  BomGolem first followed by
 the Succubus, both the Unicorn and Demon  will come down towards  you when
 you're near enough, take this opportunity to fill up your FDs you're gonna
 save them for both Fatime and Josie! When  you've the  opportunity unleash
 your flashes on both F and J to end the battle.  Leveling up prior to this
 really helps if you're having trouble.

 Truth be told this is one of the most easiest battle in the game, why? For
 one the enemy is stationary, two if  you bring in a couple of Witches plus
 the Snipers you can aim leisurely at a  distance and have those w/ healing
 ability to stand-by (Luna, Pip).

 Start your day by spreading out significantly and have the hard-hitters up
 front, the  healers should be standing away from harm but in range to heal
 those who are in need.  The [DBOT] have a habit of using its [FLASH DRIVE]
 when  it  has fulfilled its requirement so if you got hit by its FD,  heal
 quickly, did  I mentioned that it has virtually no magical defense  [RES]?
 Unleash the Witches power and FDs unto it to quickly end this.

 Tch! An easy battle won effortlessly. ^_~

 Thanks to Steiner's pendant  Rina's FD has been unlocked, and  I don't get
 what's his problem is, when people are trying  to listen to other people's
 problems it equals to seducing them? This guy got issues and must die real

 Fatima will ask you a question  I went with "To save the world!" start the
 battle by clearing out the BlueBombs as they're the easiest and the lowest
 of level on the map, followed by the LulGolems and lone Element & Succubus
 if you've  taken the time to  go and level up then this  battle will be  a
 real cinch.

 As always do not go  straight for Josie or Fatima as you slowly  clear out

 Don't  get overconfident  thinking you can topple  all three just  because
 you're bigger in number, take  this step-by-step.  Josie will  be an idiot
 and most probably come forward to cast [MISERY RAIN], take  this chance to
 surround him and if  you have spare FD to unload  on him do so, once he is
 down Fatima will follow suit as well  as Mattias, try to ignore Fatima and
 concentrate every single  ounce of energy on Mattias unleashing  your most
 dreaded spells and  unleashing all of your FDs at  MAX level, as the  main
 point of this battle is to  bring down Mattias don't waste time  trying to
 get rid of Fatima and risking losing resources (MP, items) and having none

 Roland starts far away from the  other two members so the first thing  you
 should do is to move him close to the rest of the party, also you may want
 to cast [RESTORE] on Roland, it'll  help but the real healer here is  Luna
 with her [PURIFYING WATER] so keep her in range of Roland.  This is pretty
 much an easy battle -- build up your FD and unleash it on Sadie.

 | "Why are you following us now, you stupid cat!?" - Rasche              |
 '------------------------------------------------------------------------'

 Visit the town of [MIALSA MABRITON] and a cutscene will play out involving
 Althea and the stupid cat.  Shortly after Fiends will attack the town, but
 that's not important, once you're on the world map visit the  town and buy
 some  new equipment for everyone! And  let's not forget  three  brand  new
 requests are up for you to grab and level up!

 � On Patrol
 � Monk Fun
 � Tour Guide*

 Keep doing [MONK FUN] until you've got enough [IRON COAT] for everyone who
 uses it, Althea included.  [MONK FUN] is also  a good request to level  up
 before you proceed any further into the story. Hm, I'd strongly suggest to
 level up Luna to around level  26 and equip her with the  [MEDITATE] Lapis
 this will allow her to  regenerate 10% worth of  MP every round  which  is
 very, very useful!...What? Where  to get the [MEDITATE] Lapis? -_- er, you
 can't buy them you can only win them as spoils in battles, so, you can see
 why I'm kinda overleved here--it's because I'm trying to obtain this Lapis
 for my gorgeous Luna! Keep doing request.

 When you're ready - [MIALSA MABRITON] > [ENTER THE BATTLE].

 Bring in Luna, Rasche, Rina and  Kaph for this battle, Luna can heal  with
 her  [PURIFYING WATER]  and if you equip her with the  [MEDITATE] Lapis as
 per recommended then she can gradually  restore her HP, Rina and  Kaph can
 snipe from a distance as usual and Rasche  can use [SAVAGE TYPE] to up his
 attack, use [STINGER] if you want a 100% accuracy. The reinforcements rate
 in this battle  is crazy but not impossible, keep  everyone  together  and
 restore their HP whenever necessary and this battle'll be a breeze!

 I went with "To protect the people." and "Master Mattias is wrong!"

 For this battle I've a  couple of Witches with me and  I've equipped  them
 all with [MEDITATE] Lapis so they  will be able to pull off a lot of magic
 attacks, Althea is  awesome with [IGNIS BLAZE]  (pumped with [INTENTION]).
 Split  your party into 2 groups -  I had Dia, Rina  and Luna take  out the
 nearby  [SUCCUBUS]  on the left and have  Althea, Roland  and Sadie go  up
 front towards where Fatima and Josie is, slowly make your way removing any
 enemy that got in your way, assuming  you've fill up enough FDs unleash it
 all on both Fatima and Josie

 Oh, watch out for reinforcements  that appear at the back (where you start
 the battle).

 Both  woman and cat will  escape  by flying (that's cheating, right?)  the

 your next stop is fairly obvious.

 - IMPORTANT --------------------------------------------------------------

 The Guild will be  CLOSED on CHAPTER 20 onwards and  re-opens pretty late,
 if you're really, really underleveled and  you plan on leveling up this is
 your only chance I'd strongly suggest to have everyone around level 30 and
 above  (36 max!), otherwise  you're in deep shit, baby  (not  literally  I

 Thank the God there is no reinforcements going on in this fight, the first
 thing you should  do here is to make sure you bring in  either Luna or Pip
 or both but I switched Pip with Kaph cause I wanted that extra range in my
 party. Start out by having Althea use [INTENTION] on herself (you're going
 to need [IGNIS BLAZE] at its hottest temperature), like  always have  Luna
 on healing position and both Rina and Kaph can  attack from afar. FDs will
 play a very, very important  role from here on out (if  you're  around  my
 level  then almost  everyone  and  their  dog  will have their Lv. 3 Flash
 Drive mastered). Fill up to at least  level 2 and wait for  Mr. Bharva  to
 come over once  you've him cornered unleash  hell on his crimson body, ooo
 oooh!... -_-;

 I used the same group of people from  before, the reinforcements rate here
 can be quite pushy especially if  you're careless enough to spend all your
 precious MP removing all the  enemies, what I can suggest  here is to rely
 only on your normal regular  attack, Althea can use her  [IGNIS BLAZE] (or
 [FLAME PILLAR] if  you're  trying to conserve MP)  as always  pumped it up
 with [INTENTION] beforehand, Luna  on standby, Rina and Kaph can work hard
 from a couple of tiles away. You can rely on your FDs if you want to.

 Watch a rather touching scene--especially that one part between Father and

 Start out by removing the Viper nearby to  your right and slowly work your
 way up towards the  center of the field, most  of the Vipers and Red  Dogs
 will move in by now, the  Red Dogs have the  [FIRE BREATH]  ability but if
 your level is in the 30s  and you have high RES then this shouldn't affect
 you much, but if  you're really low on HP though then have  Luna ready her
 [PURIFYING WATER] like always).

 Upon  reaching the town of [MISTIA] everyone'll be distracted by ice-cream
 and Kaph's creepiness and you'll shortly find yourself on the world map to
 sort yourself out! Sadly  there is no new Guild  request right now  so you
 can feel  absolutely free to  proceed the storyline or sidetrack  a little
 bit and visit [KAPH'S FACTORY] for a hilarious scene. By the way I suggest
 that you check your inventory for any extra [MEDITATE]  Lapis and equip it
 on any characters that you will be using heavily for their Arts and Magics
 like the Witches.

 The "Bell Of Silence" will make its first debut in 4000 years (the way the
 bell is ringing is kinda creepy, I  don't know--I'm playing in the dark!),
 a slightly long-ish cutscene will take place and you'll have to  make some
 choices, here's what I've picked:

 Your objective here is to defeat  Bharva who is standing at the  corner of
 the map, having  characters with high speed and  movement range is  really
 recommended  (Sadie and Rina)  just don't bring in Rasche he's really use-
 less in this battle.  Rely on your most  heavy of Arts and  Magics  [IGNIS
 BLAZE, AERO TWISTER, AQUA SQUALL], if  you followed  my advice  and  equip
 the [MEDITATE] Lapis on characters that you rely heavily on for their Arts
 and Magics  then this battle  shouldn't prove all that hard, remember  you
 also have your  FDs with you and  I assumed all of them  have their  Lv. 3
 Flash Drive, yes? Use that on Bharva.

 ha! So don't  worry those aren't typos or anything.  Anyway, after a long-

 still free to roam the world only you cannot access anything in particular
 so it's pretty dumb.

 Make sure you save your game and  [EAVESDROP] or if you want some lol then
 go do [IN PRISON], oh! Choose  to [TALK TO OTHER PRISONERS] for a total of
 [5 VITONICS] given away to you for FREE.

 Haha, the conversation between Pop and Karen is priceless when Pop offered
 crabs as opposed to Lapistier Karen rejects the offer and Pop asked her to
 apologize to the crabs! BAHAHAHA.

 This is an easy fight the four Talons there will move in so just hold your

 are useful here especially a pumped up [IGNIS BLAZE] by Althea.  When most
 of the minions are down fresh supply will appear around the target area in
 an  attempt to prevent you from escaping, but you can easily wallop  their
 ass with your skills and might!

 The only real danger in this fight are the  [HIMAGES]  their magic attacks
 can really put a dent on most of the character's HP, so keep a lookout and
 brining in Luna is recommended (Pip's unneceesary).

 Richter will only move  forward when you've wiped out most  of the minions
 before him and doing  so will also trigger a  couple of reinforcements, be
 sure to wipe away all  [HIMAGES]  or you'll have a difficult time  dealing
 with their magic attack.

 I used Roland to slay Richter at level 37 (38 actually) Roland's [FRACTURE
 SLASH] did about 590+ HP damage and sir Richter only did 160+ HP damage to
 my Roland, sweeeet, yes?!

 Fatima'll unite, and having Fatima in your party is  simply the best thing

 must use all the time for her [PURIFYING WATER].  Very sweet, indeed. Next
 stop [CALCUS HIGHWAY].

 This  is  yet  another  simple battle after defeating a couple of enemies,

 Seriously the three of you could easily wipe out the battlefield :P why do
 I even bother with this? Haha.

 Though, if you  really need some kind of  solid strategy then  I'd suggest
 starting the fight with [RESTORE] for Roland, among  the three Rina is the
 fastest so have her snipe and take down a  couple of those minions.  Since
 Mr. badass/rebel Rasche is a slowpoke, ALLOW  HIM TO DEAL THE LAST BLOW so
 he can reap some fine EXP points to build up his level. That's pretty much
 it. ;)

 Well, the only valuable advice I can offer here is: DO NOT RUSH! Kaph have
 a lot of  Archers on his side but of  course they don't hit for  much  and
 always miss when it comes to Sadie, but don't ever underestimate them.  If
 you have  a couple of  [MEDITATE]  Lapis to spare then  equip them on  all
 three I only had one and I gave it to Luna  so she can somewhat restore HP
 with her  [PURIFYING WATER]  unlimitedly, keep your FDs for Kaph and  when
 you get the chance unleash it on him since all you need to do to win is to
 bring this freak down.

 Eventhough Rasche and  Dia said  they were dragged along to help  you with
 your crab hunt, truth is only  Roland, Althea, Pop and Pip  are allowed in
 the battle formation.  Bleh, I  think this  battle can be easily  won with
 just Pop alone! Defeat only 8 crabs and this quest will be over.

 You'll get to meet a couple of recurring characters from L.A. 1 two of 'em
 being Hugo (now Yugo) and Cecille (now Cecillia). Cecillia will mention
 that she may have seen you (you as in the players, not Dia even if it has
 been potrayed as so) A YEAR AGO. Luminous Arc 1 was released in 2007 on
 the 14th of August, so I guess roughly a year ago is correct.

 G  U  I  L  D    R  E  Q  U  E  S  T  S   (03^)

 Taking requests up at the Guild in Carnava will net you some Rico and EXP,
 this is a good way to build up your party.  Over in this section I'll list
 all the possible quests you  can take up in the game.  You can start doing
 quests in Chapter: 2 "A ROYAL PROMISE." Don't forget to claim your  reward
 by visiting the Guild again, and  for  your  info you can keep doing quest
 you've completed over and over again for the  EXP and RICO and receive the
 same REWARD too... ~_^ well, isn't that just awesome?!

 Also, as an  added tips you may want to equip  [EXP +xx%]  Lapis to  those
 characters you wish  to train (low on level) to increase the amount of EXP
 they gain after kill. Note: by EXP +xx% I meant EXP +15%/20%/30% etc.

 An * next  to a request means that it is only a  [ONE TIME]  only request,
 meaning  you cannot do repeats, and if you missed it then that's just  too
 bad make sure to check the GUILD in every chapter or as often as you can.


 --------------------- FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS -------------------------


---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 DOES DOING QUESTS AT THE GUILD COUNT TOWARDS YOUR TOTAL PERCENTAGE?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Absolutely, if you're trying to aim for 100% doing each and every requests
 is vital.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 OH SHIT BIATCH! I MISSED A QUEST, HOW?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Just reload your previous saved data, assuming  you did not save your game
 after you've discovered you missed out on a particular quest.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 IS THIS THE ONLY WAY TO POWER UP YOUR PARTY?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Yes, this  is the only way for you to level up weak party members and har-
 vest for EXP points, Rico, Lapis and items. The rewards can be earned over
 and over again, you can keep, sell  away the extra or do whatever you want
 with it.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 WHEN CAN WE START DOING QUESTS AT THE GUILD?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 As early as Chapter 2.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 HOW MANY REQUESTS CAN WE TAKE UP IN ONE GO?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Unfortunately only one.  To cancel any on-going  requests  just  visit the
 Guild again and the option to cancel will be made available.  Do not worry
 there is no penalty in canceling any quests you can always accept it again
 not a problem there.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 DOES REQUESTS DIFFER CHAPTER BY CHAPTER?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Yes, new requests  seems to  pop up in every new chapter, like  I've  said
 before: it's  best  that  you  check  the  guild at the start of every new
 chapter.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 HOW DO YOU ARRANGE THE REQUESTS IN YOUR FAQ?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 In the order when I FIRST did them.

 Once you've accepted this  quest head on over to the Royal  Lab in Carnava
 and begin the quest.  You'll face off against Reptoid there's four of them
 but with your skills and level of intelligence you'll overcome this battle
 even with  your eyes closed, just  remember the golden rule of  ganging up
 against a single  enemy one at a time, rushing  to kill the  enemy is  the
 same as rushing to your death (I made that up and it sounds kinda cool, ha
 ha ha! Lame I know :P).

 First priority are the  mages you see in purple robe, they're bastard that
 will cast magic on you, but  thank God they're easy to defeat! The Knights
 can be a little pushy with  their attack, so don't forget to equip healing
 items before taking this request up.  Otherwise, this  is yet another easy
 errand you can breeze through.

 That's quite...a...rewarding reward?  [DRIVE POINT +5], hey!  I  recommend
 that you guys  harvest as much of this Lapis as you can by repeating  this
 quest over and over again.

 Your mission here is to reduce  [TANDY'S]  HP and s/he won't appear  until
 you've  at least  defeated a  couple of his/her friends, Tandy  is  one of
 those  reinforcements squad thingy, once  Tandy has shown his  or her ugly
 mug you  can go on ahead and aim for [TANDY] or completely wipe the  whole
 battlefield  for  the much needed experience.  Both ways will end up  with
 your party being victorious so pick whichever way you want.

 to quickly remove any Blue Bomb in [CRITICAL] health as they've a tendency
 to explode in your face killing themselves in the process.

 This is a [ONE-TIME] only quest so you can't do repeats. A scene will play
 the moment you enter the area.  The [SHADOW FROST BOYS] is wreaking  havoc
 by robbing poor people of their valuables.

 Eventhough the [QUEST LEVEL] said it's a [LEVEL 3] quest you don't have to
 worry about  a single thing for the enemies  here are weak! Start  the day
 with everyone  beating the crap out  of the nearby enemy  Archer, then aim
 for the nearby Knight and Thug when you've defeated a  couple of the goons
 [REINFORCEMENTS] will arrive. Give anyone the chance to deal the finishing
 blow so s/he can reap in the EXP.

 I've strong  faith that you can wipe the battlefield  on your own  without
 much of a strategy guide! *smiles*

 After a bit of walloping, watch a scene and the quest will end.

 The [TEC +15] Lapis reward here  is really awesome in my opinion, you  can
 give it  to people like Rasche, so I  strongly suggest you do repeats just
 to harvest as much TEC +15 as you can.

 Your motive here is to reach the  designated [TARGET AREA], you can either
 do that literally  or defeat the enemies and reap some EXP points.  Please
 be warned that after you've defeated a couple of the goons [REINFORCMENTS]
 will appear near the [TARGET AREA].

 You get  2000R for your reward which  isn't too shabby if you ask me.  But
 the terrain setup is pretty nasty, if  you have enough [BUOYANT] Lapis you
 may want to equip  this so you can walk on water.  Ranged fighters such as
 Kaph and  Rina  are  good here as well as the Witches, but  seriously  you
 don't really need any  form of strategy just wallop everything  and go for
 the reward!

 The Knights of Mistia desire a death wish and you're gonna deliver it, for
 this battle only up to four  (4)  characters are allowed. This request  is
 very easy  so no real strategy here  but since the terrain is such  a pain
 you may  want to equip  [BUOYANT]  Lapis on your four characters and  have
 range  fighters  in  your party to quickly end this.  [SILK ROBE]  is your
 reward! Have fun!

 This is a one-time event that cannot  be repeated, I strongly suggest that
 your party of six (6) to be at  least around level 13 to take on this  re-
 quest, the  highest  level  enemy  I've encountered was level 16.  I'm not
 saying it's hard  but it can really push you to the edge  if you're under-
 leveled. The only strategy here is TO STICK TOGETHER and have someone like
 Pip and Luna do the healing job, I don't have to say this but having Rina,
 Kaph and other Witches in this battle is really useful because of their
 ranged attacks and magics respectively.

 All you need to do is to reduce  [JETSAM]'s HP;  he's the one in a  darker
 shade of colour...hm, I'm  not exactly sure if you're supposed to only re-
 duce his HP or  defeat him but I guess either way you're stil l a winner?!
 The enemies  here are mostly  [KNIGHT PHANTOM]  that has high in ATK  rate
 and DEF but low in RES, so  Witches are wonderful assets here.  The reward
 is a [HAUBERK]; armor for both Roland & Rasche  it only increases your DEF
 though.

 There are many [RED BOMBS] here and they're very dangerous when they're in
 critical health, either  you quickly remove them A.S.A.P.  without  giving
 them any chance to go  critical or risk getting explode in your face.  All
 of the enemies here are [FIRE] elemental  so Luna works great but she's at
 risk of receiving intense damage too, well, you can work this out.  [FLAME
 CRYSTAL] Lapis is good for Althea.

 Another reduce XXX's HP mission, this  time you're to minimize  [ORZ]'s HP
 or...just kill him.  But since he's at  level 20  to start with, you  must
 never ever be confident and  face him upfront, instead I  strongly suggest
 the whole lot of you to stick together and wait for the Lizards to come to
 you, bring in Luna and  Pip if you want some healing prowess.  Remove  the
 small fry first (and thus filling up your FD meter) when the [ORZ]  is all
 alone surround him and unleash all of your FDs. This is not a hard battle,
 really.

 I've no idea why  Roland  starts  in the middle of the  world and everyone
 else are in  the  back (probably cheering for him...).  Hm, the moment you
 get to  control Roland move him in with everyone, the  [BEETLES] here have
 really high HP value and  the [LOSS CONDITION] states that Roland must not
 die or it's game over.  But I can honestly  tell you this:  THIS BATTLE IS
 EASY AS PIE! And therefore you should do just fine on your own.

 The [MSTRMONK] here can be a pushover...Seriously? I think not.  The trick
 here is to have  everyone hold their  position and have one or  two take a
 step or two forward to lure the monks over, Luna  and Pip will prove to be
 valuable here for  their healing prowess, have  everyone attack and remove
 the monks and fill  up their FD meter  (save this for the [MSTRMONK]) once
 you've removed the  low-rank monks unleash all your FDs on the MSTR.  Once
 all these nuisances are gone you can freely make your way to [HANS].

 This battle  excelled in annoying  the crap out of me, for  starters  that
 stupid looking guy who  is at level 26  or something is able to  wipe  you
 out with a snap of his fingers, I strongly suggest you go level up in some
 other quest before attempting this.  The strategy here is to  have someone
 who  already  has  a  very  high speed go for the exit, use the other five
 party members to remove whatever enemy you're able to defeat  and have the
 one with the highest speed to go for the  [TARGET AREA]  it's best to lure
 that level 26 moron to the group of baits in the back, and you slowly make
 your way towards the exit it may take a couple of tries to get this right.
 [FLASH DRIVE] are also awesome to unleash in this map!

 kinda but if you managed to pull it off, go for it, just aim for [SHAUN]!

 the bombs [REINFORCEMENTS] will arrive. It's an easy quest, really.

 This battle could be easy  or hard depending on your level and the  people
 you bring in for battle, you might want  to have both Luna and Pip in your
 party for healing purposes, Roland and  Rina for melee and ranged attacks.
 First off the Succubuses have the Cure spell up  their sleeve so it's wise
 to remove them first before  you go for the Lillith, what  I did was split
 my party  into two groups, one  head for  the  Unicorns the other for  the
 Succubuses, fill everyone's FD and unleash it on the Lillith! Do take note
 that the Lillith have the ability called [BLOOD HATE] that  she uses often
 when she's in critical health.

 breeze, the two "Knights" guarding Hans are level 30, they may be slow but
 they have high movement  range panel of 5 but their  accuracy kinda sucks.
 My strategy here is to build up FDs either  via items or Arts (like Rina's
 "First Aid," "Tuning")  and unleash it on  the two  Knights  unless you're
 very, very lucky to be able to get pass them but I doubt that's possible.

 The Cerberus are DANGEROUS their [FIRE BREATH] can hit you for quite a bit
 of damage, so try your bestest to spread out.  Bringing in Luna and Pip is
 recommended; have  Luna busy herself with [PURIYING WATER] whenever needed
 and Pip can heal and attack (he's isn't too bad with his kitchen tool, you
 know). After you've defeated  a couple of the minions reinforcements  will
 appear--a total of five crabs will show up! Althea's [IGNIS BLAZE]  pumped
 with  [INTENTION]  is freakin' awesome here! Keep  everyone health up  and
 you will emerge victorious.

 P/S: The reward is 3000R, it's  easy money so consider leveling up and re-
 doing the quest for the cash reward!

 You'll start in the middle (pincer attack)  and all you need to do  to win
 this  fight is to  either remove  Hans or Amanda.  I  say ignore both  and
 remove everyone else for the  EXP points, it may be a little  overwhelming
 at first but  if you prepare beforehand  then you should  be able to  deal
 with everyone else with ease, for starters be sure  to bring in both Luna,
 Pip and Althea, have Luna do her usual  [PURIFYING WATER], Pip  attack and
 heal whenever  necessary and have  Althea pumped with  [INTENTION] and un-
 leash  [IGNIS BLAZE]  or  [FLAME PILLAR].  This is also a great request to
 level up on.

 Like always Cerberus are  dangerous creatures that can breath  fire and it
 hits for a lot of HP damage, you can either equip Lapis  that reduces fire
 damage or quickly remove them. The trick here is to keep everyone together
 and have Luna do her [PURIFYING WATER] (I've been relying on her A LOT she
 is just so amazing!), my Roland is in his 30s (level) and [FRACTURE SLASH]
 really is a life-saver.

 Victory is yours when there  is less than 3 enemies on the  battlefield, I
 brought Roland, Luna  and Sadie with me and  had all three stick  together
 throughout  the whole fight, Sadie cast [FLIGHT]  on Roland and Luna  just
 went on standy to  cast [PURIFYING WATER] but I had her [AQUA HAMMER] most
 of the enemies anyway. This is an easy fight. >_>

 Just  like the request  "Lizards"  this quest also requires that  you only
 defeat until two (2) enemies are  left on the battlefield, I brought Luna,
 Roland and Althea with me, the usual  routine took place here: Althea  was
 pumped with  [INTENTION]  and release  [IGNIS BLAZE]  on the Basilisk  and
 Minotaurs--instant kill. I guess I am overleveled. :x

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 � STRATEGY
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 You'll need to defeat two (2) Viper Xs  (there are three here) to win this
 battle.  They're located all the way in the  back so the best  way out  of
 this is to actually  defeat everyone else and slowly wait for them to make
 their way towards you, meanwhile  you can build up your FDs with the rest.
 Having Luna and Pip is essential and Althea is great for her pumped [IGNIS
 BLAZE], keep everyone HP in check and this battle  shouldn't pose too much
 of a problem.

 LAPIS LIST (LL-)
 ################

 I've divided the Lapis into different sections, you'll have an easier time
 referring to them this way rather than I merged all of 'em together.  If I
 missed out on any Lapis or I'm giving the wrong information do let me know
 about it! This is an [ON-GOING PROGRESS].

 � ATK  : ATTACK     Lapis that increases attack power rating.
 � MAG  : MAGIC      Lapis that increases magic power rating.
 � TECH : TECH       Lapis that increases tech/accuracy power rating.
 � DEF  : DEFENSE    Lapis that increases defense power rating.
 � RES  : RESISTANCE Lapis that increases magical defense power rating.
 � SPD  : SPEED      Lapis that increases speed power rating.

 � MULTI   : VARIOUS   Lapis that increases various stats.
 � SUPPORT : SUPPORT   Lapis that gives you an additional/innate ability.
 � ELEM    : ELEMENTAL Lapis that increases or decreases ATK/DEF of elems.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 WHERE DO I BUY LAPIS?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 You cannot buy Lapis anywhere, but  you can earn them as battle spoils  or
 "Bonus Items"  after EVERY battle, so the best way to collect  Lapis is to
 keep doing [GUILD QUESTS].

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 IS THERE A TRICK TO EARN [SPECIFIC] LAPIS?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 I don't think so, Lapis  earn  after  battle are always random, if  you're
 lucky  you can earn 2-3  high-tier, hard-to-get Lapis in  a single battle,
 but the best strategy is to keep fighting by doing [GUILD QUESTS].

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 CAN WE MERGE OR SELL LAPIS?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Unfortunately, no!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 WHICH LAPIS SHOULD I USE?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 That's up  to your own discretion.  Though, if you're  really spoiled  for
 choice I can only generalize here.

 WITCHES (OR MAGIC USERS)
 ~ Elemental Lapis
 ~ Magic Lapis
 ~ Lapis that increases [RES], [MP] and the like

 MELEE FIGHTERS (RASCHE, ROLAND, ETC)
 ~ Tech Lapis
 ~ Atk Lapis
 ~ Speed Lapis

 That's how I prioritize.

 PERSONAE (PE-)
 ##############

 These are my personal assestment of each character in the game, please for
 the love of God and all that jazz do not ever, ever, EVER send me e-mail
 telling me that I am wrong about XXX and that YYY is better than ZZZ and
 that I shouldn't talk about XYZ in that way because you've a animated 2D
 crush on said character: I DON'T GIVE A "WHOOPS!" :-O

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 ROLAND
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 The hero of the game, a very  kind-hearted and level-headed young man with
 a rather good  sense of justice.  Roland's quite a softy (I don't mean the
 sissy type)  and  is easily influenced; just a  little push  from his team
 mates  and he's all up and ready, especially  if it's a "push" from Althea
 the Beast.

 Roland is a FIEND! He pretty much excel in every stats, especially his ATK
 power rating, it  skyrocketted a little bit when he becomes a Master.  But
 seeing as how he  is a required character it doesn't  really matter if  he
 sucks or not cause you'll be forced to use him anyway.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 RASCHE
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Roland's older brother, always  saying the wrong things and getting hit on
 the head (I think)  by Sir Steven, Rasche may seem  like he doesn't  think
 before he talks, truth  is he's just being honest.  Oh, Roland is not  his
 brother by blood but it doesn't bother good ol' Rasche!

 Rasche  suffers from  SPD issue, his ATK  power  is pretty average too.  I
 don't really use him much all that much and even if I did I'll bring Sadie
 along so she can speed him up a little bit with the magic: [FLIGHT].

 FLASH DRIVE LIST (FD-)
 ######################

 I believe everyone level up their FD at the same level, but  for storyline
 FD like Rasche, if you've  level him up to level 17 and  it's already past
 his  required level to learn/level up which is at level 16, then you  will
 earn the level 2 FD at the next level up, that's how it works I think.

 LUMINOUS SYMPHONY (LSo)
 #######################

 "Luminous Symphony"  is the OST music CD that came  bundled  together with
 the game, here's the full tracklist.

 01. Shdow Frost Witch
 02. Rosetta Rosso
 03. Future Mage Queen
 04. Will
 05. Waking Up
 06. Retribution
 07. Change!
 08. The Coming Flames

 That's pretty much it, it's good but I'm not really a fan of game music.

___________________________________________________________________________


 #################
 WHAT'S NEW? (WNo)
 #################

 Here are the new stuff that are found in  [LUMINOUS ARC 2]  as compared to
 the first. I'll also list down the negative part of the game.

 � Improvised overall look of the game (menu, interface, font)
 � Shorthand has been minimized (example: "lthr Ar" -> "Leather Armor)
 � New "Engagement System" (get engaged to receive battle benefits)
 � "Guild Request" has been added (is also the only way to level up)
 � Must equip (limited to 2 per character) items <- lame!
 � New "Lapis System" (enhance stats, 3 slots/character)
 � New "Drive Point" system (can be spent to enhance Arts' potency)
 � Only six characters are allowed into the battlefield (previously 8)
 � New "Memoirs" section that nobody actually bother to spend time to read
 � Better dialogues, better storyline (though kinda generic)
 � Less annoying character personality and voice-acting (Theo is the worst)
 � OST CD was added as part of the game
 � Better Touch Screen functionality (I personally tried it)
 � Increase in difficulty + much harder to level up
 � You get to retry if your whole party is wiped out in a battlefield

 That's  pretty much it...if I missed out on anything or you believe one of
 the above is a mistake then let me know. Thaanks!

 QUESTIONS & ANSWERS [QA+]
 #########################

 Got a question? Send it in, my e-mail address can be found both at the top
 and at the bottom of this guide.  Please do take the time to read  through
 the FAQ if any information shared below is incorrect then please inform me
 thanks!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 DUDE! YOU'RE ASIAN?! I'D EXPECT AN ENGRISH FAQ!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Yes, I am Asian and I got an 'A+' for my English. SCORE!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 HELP, SOMETIMES I CAN USE ITEMS AND SOMETIMES I CAN'T! WHY IS THIS?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 You need [TO EQUIP] those  items before going into battle, it's  a  hassle
 but I figured they're just trying to escalate the difficulty and adding in
 a little bit of strategy in your fighting style by implementing this item-
 equip feature.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 WHY IS CECILLE SPELT AS "CECILLIA?"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Typos, maybe? Or she has taken on a new identity, perhaps?

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 WAAH! THIS GAME IS HARD!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Go level up some.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 DO I HAVE TO PLAY THE ORIGINAL LUMINOUS ARC 1?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Nope, LUMINOUS ARC 2 functions very well as a standalone title, but if you
 want to then don't let me stop you, though, once you've tried L.A. 2 there
 is a  high chance that you won't want to continue with  the  original, the
 sequel is way much better. But if you do play the first you'll get the in-
 side scoop on the recurring characters and some of the resemblance in per-
 sonality. Kaph = Nikolai.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 I'VE LUMINOUS ARC 1, NOT SURE IF I SHOULD GET PART 2?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Why not? L.A. 2 has  been vastly improved, you can actually  see that  the
 developers  put in a lot of effort, unlike  the first it seems rushed  and
 most  probably  just  some  kind  of  experiment  for the devs. But L.A. 2
 totally shines in almost every aspect!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 YOUR FAVORITE PARTY MEMBER OF 6, THEN?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Roland, Rasche, Rina, Althea, Josie and Fatima. Though the last two joined
 the  party a little late, so before that I had Luna and Pop, and sometimes
 I switched Josie with Luna.  In the original LUMINOUS ARC 1 we can  deploy
 up to 8 characters into battle, but not in this installment sadly. :(

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 WHO'S YOUR FAVORITE WITCH?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 I've none.

 Updated quite a chunk...and I'm juggling between this game and Mana Khemia
 urgh! That game is just soooooo goooood!

 '------------------------------------------------------------------------'

 Heeee, sorry for the M.I.A  been real busy...or rather I'm  slacking, heh!
 With the release of MANA KHEMIA: STUDENT ALLIANCE for the PSP I've been so
 God-forbiddenly occupied  with the game, man it's freakin'  addictive like
 that! I'm a fan of the Atelier Iris series and I didn't have the chance to
 play the PS2 version of MK: SA, so  I'm pretty hype that they  decided  to
 port it to the PSP!  Go GUST + NIS AMERICA. Anyway! I should be  active in
 updating this guide again!  I'm hoping to complete this A.S.A.P. and focus
 playing on my Mana Khemia. ;)

 | Sunday, March 08, 2009 - WHOOPS!                                       |
 '------------------------------------------------------------------------'

 Seems like I  messed  up quite a bit of things in this guide, it's  mostly
 with  the content  arrangement  and the [TABLE OF CONTENTS], the  keyword,
 they did not direct  to the correct section, some major typos and grammars
 were also fixed as well.

 Also, I went to the library today and surfed the internet via  a  friend's
 laptop and yay! My  FAQ got accepted, Oh, I just realized Chris Brown beat
 up Rihanna...God, why didn't she hit him  back with her umbrella, and then
 tell him to shut up and drive?!

 EDIT: Doing the [INDEXES] section is such a pain! Um...HELP?!

 | Friday, March 06, 2009 - DS ADAPTER BROKE OR SOMETHING!                |
 '------------------------------------------------------------------------'

 My DS is in shambles right now, there's 3 dead pixels  on the Touch Screen
 and 1 on the  top screen, my 'A' button is loose (not firm anymore) and my
 charger/adapter  all defunct right now. ;( getting a new  one today and am
 gonna write a whole lot more for this guide later in the day!

 By the way, has anyone bought or tried the new NDS-I or something? The one
 with the camera and Memory Stick thingy? I'm thinking of upgrading but re-
 frained myself when  I heard there's no GBA port! Hey, I  still  play some
 good ol' GBA games, ok.
