 To navigate much easier through this guide, I added the search system, which
works just by following these simple steps:

- Highlight the "Section Code" of the section which you wish to go and copy it
  (CTRL+C).

- Press CTRL+F to bring up the search sub-menu.

- Paste (CTRL+V) the "Section Code" and press ENTER twice to be where you
  wanted to be. Just like magic!

 My Section Codes were made as precise as possible, and I also prefer this
method instead of having you scroll 30 min through this huge guide looking for
the section you want to go.

 Hello everyone and welcome to my Sands of Destruction FAQ/Walkthrough. I had
no plans whatsoever on FAQing this game, but I saw the trailer 2 days before it
came out and I knew I had to FAQ it no matter what. I like it so much that I
put on standby the other FAQs I were writing for.

 This game is pretty good. The sprites are not the best, but the game design,
story and music are so breathtaking that you won't be able to stop playing. To
top it, even the Voice Acting is good. This game is one of the few RPGs that
really know how to make good use of the dual screens, having huge enemies that
take the size of both screens and flying enemies hovering above you in the
other screen.

 Well, I hope you like both the FAQ and the game but before starting, there are
some things I want to address, so please read the following paragraphs:

- I'm writing this for free and because I'm falling in love with this game. If
you are looking for tons of eloquent ways for me to say "move here and start a
battle", you are going to be so disappointed. This guide is way, way too big to
begin with, and lofty language does not help.

- If you take a quick scan thru my guide, you won't find the explanations for
battle basics, main menu, saving-loading, etc. Why, you ask? Well, because the
game manual and in-game tutorials do a perfect job explaining the battle
system.

- The usage of abbreviations. When you're in my place or any who writes for
GameFAQ's or any other page, writing a guide for any game of such proportions,
people complain about using too many abbreviations. You have no idea how
helpful abbreviations are. It also looks better in every aspect you think.

- I'm writing this in my first playthrough, so I may be missing stuff. If you
see that my guide is lacking content, please let me know through an email or
visit my site and contact me there through the forums or PM me.

- The spoilers are great issues in making guides. I am a player of the game,
just like you are. The first time I played through this game was completely
by myself. I didn't read any spoilers, therefore nothing was spoiled for me.
All the story's ups and downs that were supposed to surprise me had such
effect. And I really think it's not fair spoiling such story elements to you.

 With all this said, let's start with the guide! Enjoy  this guide and remember
that it is a spoiler-free, so you don't  have to worry about  important info of
the game being spoiled.

polite, 'k? Anyway, here they are:

 Some of the game basics will be explained here... as soon as I figure out what
to write for here. =)

 In Sands of Destruction, a race of powerful beastmen known as the Ferals rule
over the human population with tyranny and prejudice. A group of warriors, the
World Annihilation Front, believe their only option for ending the corruption
of the Ferals is to end the world as they know it. This intense game puts
gamers in control of an intriguing cast of characters including the crusading
Morte Asherah as well as Kyrie Illunis, who unknowingly holds the key to global
destruction.

 A little section I started just because there are so many topics in the
GameFAQ's boards that are asking the same things -- which are the very basics
of this game. Study them well and you'll breeze through the game.


 M O R A L E
�������������
 Let's start with a simple question: Where do I see how much Morale I have?
Well, in battle, see that little arrow next to your BP under your character's
picture? That's where you see your Morale.

 -> Low Morale

 Whenever you have a grayish arrow pointing down, your Morale is low. What
effects having Low Morale? Well, starting with Low Morale gives you only 1BP at
the start of every turn, making your turns nearly useless. What gives you low
Morale? Well:

 :: Giving your character 1 or 2 accessories that has a broken heart.
 :: It doesn't matter if you have 1 accessory with a broken heart and another
    accessory with a full heart, your Morale will still go down.

 -> Normal Morale

 You know you have this Morale with you have a green arrow pointing right. You
start with this Morale. You start every turn with 2BP. Not bad. How to get
Normal Morale? Well:

 :: Equipping 1 or 2 accessories that don't have a heart.
 :: Use a skill to raise your Morale.

 -> High Morale

 High Morale is shown to you with a red arrow pointing up. You start with 3BP
at the start of every turn, making it easier to activate your character's
special attacks. How to get High Morale? Do:

 :: Equip 1 or 2 accessories with a full heart.
 :: Use a skill to raise your Morale.

 ~:~:~:~

 Here are some other things about Morale.

 :: Passing from 1 Morale to the other (Low>Normal, Normal>High, etc), it
    doesn't change from one battle to the other. You must fight a set of
    battles in order to change your Morale.
 :: The speed in which the Morale changes depends on the number of accessories
    you have equipped (getting High Morale from Normal is faster that having 2
    accessories with full hearts equipped than with only 1).

 With this brief explanation, I hope you have a better grasp of what Morale is.


 B A T T L E   P O I N T S ( B P )
�����������������������������������
 Battle Points is the number of actions you have in a turn. The number of BP
you have at the start of each turn depends on your Morale. Read the previous
section about Morale. There are other things you can do in order to increase
your BP:

 :: Get your Morale High.
 :: Get a 10-hit combo to get 1BP*.
 :: Inflict a Critical Hit**.
 :: Inflict a status ailment on the enemy.
 :: Equip an accessory that gives you 1 extra BP***.

  * You get 1BP every 10 hits (ie. you hit the enemy 30 times, which gives you
    3BP more)
 ** You only get 1 extra BP for getting a Critical Hit during your turn. If you
    get more than 1 Critical Hit, you'll still get only 1BP.
*** There are 2 items that gives you 1 extra BP


 B A T T L E   A U T O - A B I L I T I E S
�������������������������������������������
 These abilities kick in whenever the requirement is met. They can kick in
either at the start of the battle, when a target is hit (either you or an
enemy), when a turn ends or at the end of the battle. The following is a list
of the abilities that I remember at the moment and when they kick in.

.=================.===========================================================.

 Alias: Country Boy [The Destroyer]
 Weapon: Daggers [Swords]

 A youth from the Hamlet of Barni. Though gentle in demeanor and easily swayed
by others, he holds to his promises. Kyrie knows little of the world beyond his
village.

[SPOILERS]

 Resurrected by the power of the Crimson Sun, Kyrie has turned from his destiny
to destroy the world as the Destruct, choosing instead to help it be reborn.

the Sandsea, Morte goes by many names, all of which carry a heavy bounty for
her work with the World Annihilation Front. She is fearless, and fond of
charging headlong into battle.

[SPOILERS]

 A heartbroken young woman who had sought to end the world until hearing
Kyrie's dying words. It was not until his death that Morte realized how much

[SPOILERS]

 This hard-boiled Ursa Minor has taken a liking to Kyrie going so far as to
join him in the World Annihilation front. Taupy doesn't give a second thought

 Author notes:
  This is how it works:

- My lv.: I'll be displaying recommended levels, or even my levels, for every
area. On top, the original party, and below them, the reserve party. Remember
that the levels are only a reference. Go at your own pace, with levels higher
or lower. I am not trying to force you people to play the game the way I
played.

- Enemies: I'll be displaying the enemies that you will be encountering in that
area. Note that when I write "(B)" next to an Enemy's name (without the
quotation marks), it means that that Enemy is a Boss and "(OB)" stands for
Optional Boss.

- Bosses: Since there's no way to know the amount of HP the bosses in this game
have, I sum up all the dmg. I do and make an estimate. The amount is the
closest possible. I fight all the Bosses at least 2 times until I come to a
verdict. If you have a closer HP count, let me know.

- Item Checklist: The Items that you'll be picking up from the various treasure
chests, items that are a MUST for the game to proceed or hidden among the area
will be displayed here. Note that I won't be putting the items sold from
stores, nor the items random enemies' drop, so please just remember that. Also
notice that next to the items you've obtained, it's the quantity of that item
throughout the whole area.

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
                  .=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=.
                    S A N D S   O F   D E S T R U C T I O N
                  '=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-='
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

 So please open up the case, take out carefully Sands of Destruction and pop it
in Slot 1. Now turn on the DS, watch the totally kickass opening and song that
make this game even more epic and when you get to the title screen, select
Options and I recommend turning the music down at least 1 level, because the
music is so loud that you'll barely listen to the voices throughout the game.

 Now you may select New Game and let the magic begin.

 The game starts with Rajiv, a commander "commanding" his platoon to keep watch
through the city. Also, there's a character named Naja. After some scenes,
you'll be in a fight with...

--=======------=======----=-=----===-----===-----------====----=-------===-----

   ~-~  BOSS: MORTE -- THE SCARLET PLAGUE  ~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~

 ~ Name: Morte
 ~ HP: ???

 ~ Strategy: Well, this is a hard battle, since it's your first battle in the
whole game. You'll only control Naja for this battle, but as soon as Morte has
a turn, she'll start using All Ahead, Blizzard and whatnot to annihilate your
party. Pretty much like Golden Sun's battle with Saturos and Menardi...
remember?

 It's still possible to defeat her, if she doesn't use all her skills in the
first turn, but you'll only deal 3/4 of her health and the result will be the
same.

==-------======-------====-=-====---=====---===========----====-=======---=====

 Watch the little scene after the battle and now the place shifts to...


-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-.-~-~-~-

o~~Item Checklist: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~o
| Lesser Remedy -------------------- 6 = x ----------------------------- 200G |
o~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~o

 Now we start with the real main character of the game, Kyrie. During the
scene, Uncle Agni asks you to go get some sandcaps from the grotto outside.
He'll also hand over 'Lesser Remedy x5' and '200G'. Now we finally have
control...

   <vin> All the directions I'll be giving you will be based on the map, not on
   the screen where the character is running around.

 From where we start, go to the N side of the village and check the crates to
the left to find 'Lesser Remedy'. Now return to Agni's place and go W into...

            Albino Toad, Dust Larva, Sandwhale (B)
o~~Item Checklist: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~o
| Lesser Tonic --------------------- 2 = 2 ----------------- Stoneskin Potion |
| Waterstone Shard ----------------- 3 = (KI) ------------- Sandcap Mushrooms |
| Lesser Remedy ----------------------------------------------------------- 1 |
o~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~o

 Wow, this grotto has sand instead of water. How strange, huh?! Go N and at the
fork, go W and search the crates to find 'Lesser Remedy'. Return to the fork
and go E to trigger a little scene where there's a boulder blocking your path.
Approach it and press A to kick it and destroy it. Continue SE and follow the
path SE to find a chest with 'Lesser Tonic x2' in it.

 Keep proceeding N until another little scene triggers and you'll be thrown
into your first true battle. They explain you about Blood and Life skills and
these damn enemies will leave you critical in their first turn, so go ahead and
use a Life Skill, or a Lesser Remedy you have in stock. After this critical,
the Larvas will only deal 1 dmg.

 You'll also be told that after each battle, you'll receive XP, Gold and CP.
Keep going N and at the fork, go NE to find another chest, which contains
'Stoneskin Potion x2'.

 Return to the fork and proceed W to find yet another fork. Go S to find a
chest with 'Waterstone Shard x3' inside. Return to the fork and go N this time.
Now follow this linear path, use the Heal Point, save your game and proceed to
the next area.

 Here in the Grotto Depths, a little scene triggers and you'll be thrown into
your first...

--=======------=======----=-=----===-----===-----------====----=-------===-----

   ~-~  BOSS: SANDWHALE  ~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~

 ~ HP: 59
 ~ CP: 10
 ~ Items: Yellow Ore
 ~ Elemental Affinity
  + Weak: Water
  + Strong: None

 ~ Strategy: Remember the Waterstone Shards we previously got? Well, this is
the perfect time to use them. Press A to enter the Skill/Item submenu, press A
again to use items and use the Waterstone Shards. Using 2 Waterstones will do
the job.

==-------======-------====-=-====---=====---===========----====-=======---=====

 A little scene will commence after the battle and Kyrie will find 'Sandcap
Mushrooms'. Now that we got the Sandcap Mushrooms, return, use the Heal Point
if needed and get out of this place... yes, walking.

o~~Item Checklist: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~o
| Survival Knife ---------------- (WP) = (AR) ---------------- Leather Jacket |
o~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~o

 As you leave the grotto, some papers will start falling from the sky, just
like what happened with Morte in the beginning of the game. They say something
about joining the World Annihilation group. Anyway, head straight to Agni's
Pub. Uh oh, Agni says Ursa Rex wants to see Kyrie. That doesn't sound to good,
does it?

 Agni will give you 'Survival Knife' and 'Leather Jacket'. Thanks for that
Uncle =). Anyway, equip the stuff he gave you and go S...

   <vin> Yes, I know Agni say it was to the W, but it's to the W in the world
   map, not from the village. Besides, going W takes us back inside Mirrorsand
   Grotto.

 Now simply move left and enter...

o~~Item Checklist: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~o

o~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~o

 Use the Heal Point if you need to then go up the stairs, go right and enter
the hallway. Go down and enter the rooms to the right. Go all the way to the
last room and open the chest to find 'Secret Remedy x3'. Now go up and when you
can go left, do so and enter the large room in the center to find 'Strength
Potion x2' inside another chest.

 Return to the hallway and go up, then right and open the chest in the corner
to find 'Lesser Remedy x5'. Now go up and follow the path until you hit with
Ursa Rex. Kyrie start hearing voices... where have I seen this?

   <vin> Yes, this reminds me of Asch and Luke from Tales of the Abyss.

 Soon after the scene, a battle starts. They go down with a simple combo, so
there's nothing to worry about. Keep watching how Kyrie runs away from the
guards and another battle will start, exactly the same as the previous battle.
Keep watching the scene and Kyrie AWAKENS...

   <vin> Just WTF is happening to Kyrie?

 Looks like Rajiv and Naja appear before us. Could Kyrie do all this
destruction? I wonder...

o~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~o

 As you start, talk to the guards to have them say something about Morte. Talk
to them again to trigger one more scene. OMG, Morte is here! Also, Morte learns
a new Quip. Anyway, this scene is rather hilarious, so watch it and you'll
enter a battle with 3 Gaoler. Not hard at all. Just attack them normally and
they'll go down in a blink of an eye!

 The hilarious scene continues. Now go W, use the Heal Point and equip Morte
with the Quip she just got, "There's more than...", which raises party's morale
at the start of the battle. There's nothing in this area, so go all the way W
and go down the stairs. Down here, go S and go up the next set of stairs to
trigger another scene with Morte.

 You'll be chased by several Gaolers, and when you're cornered, another
character makes his appearance -- Agan the Green... and Red.  Nice, now we have
3 characters. You have to take care of 3 more Gaolers, and now that you have 3
party members, it's even easier than before. The scene continues and Rajiv will
be waiting for us at the... haha, looks like they don't give a crap about him.
Now it's time for...

--=======------=======----=-=----===-----===-----------====----=-------===-----

   ~-~  BOSS: RAJIV/2x FERAL SOLDIER  ~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~

 ~ Name: Rajiv
 ~ HP: 350
 ~ Elemental Affinity
  + Weak: None
  + Strong: None

 ~ Name: Feral Soldier
 ~ HP: 100
 ~ Elemental Affinity
  + Weak: None
  + Strong: None

 ~ Strategy: The Feral Soldiers do little dmg. (around 1-2 dmg. per hit against
Morte). They have 100 HP each so maybe Agan will kill each one in a turn.
Meanwhile, have Morte and Kyrie take care of Rajiv. His attacks do hurt. He can
deal up to 35 dmg. per turn, and that's on Morte.

 He could probably kill Kyrie in one turn. If he does kill him, revive right
away with a Secret Remedy and when Agan finished the Feral Soldiers, have him
attack Rajiv. Use Agan's Desert's Horn to deal over 90 dmg. per hit; and if you
need to heal, use Morte's Life Skill Sanctity of Life or Kyrie's Medicinal
Soup.

 You'll receive at the end of the battle 4,326 Gold and for Items: Lesser
Elixir, Tome of Knowledge and Underdog's Tail (note that you get these items
randomly).

==-------======-------====-=-====---=====---===========----====-=======---=====

 Watch the scene after the battle and it's time to board the Sea Gale. We don't
do much in the Sea Gale, except to watch a scene and steal 2 Sand Riders from a
buddy.

   <vin> Man, game is just getting better and better. =)

 During the break in the Sandsea, Kyrie learns a new Quip. Also, looks like
Kyrie is falling for Morte. Now we're inside another ship.

o~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~o

 As we start, make sure to equip Kyrie's "It's probably..." Quip to increase
DEF after taking dmg. in battle. Now exit this room and go W and before going
down the stairs, enter the upper room (where there's a Feral) and prepare to
fight him. Not hard at all, just attack and attack until it's finished. He'll
turn out the alarm... wow.

   <vin> Take extreme caution against the enemies in this area. They can be
   tough and they mostly gang up on one character. They can do from 8 dmg. all
   the way to 40 dmg. per enemy. If there are 3 enemies, pray to god to not get
   ganged on only 1 character.

 Exit this room and now go down the stairs...

   <vin> Before you leave, there's a person that has a store in the room N of
   the one you started in. Just in case you need healing items, come here ASAP.

 ... and in the Lower Deck, enter the lower W room (the one with a Feral),
defeat him (he's alone) and you'll receive 'Storeroom Key'. Now enter the lower
left room and check box with green stuff in it to find 'Treasure Room Key'. Now
go to the upper right room and use the Storeroom Key to open up the room. Check
out the pink bag to find '1000G'.

 Now enter the top left one (the one on top of the room with the Feral) and
check the barrels on the S part of the room to find 'Cat's Paw'. Now return up
the stairs to the previous area, use the Heal Point in this area.

 Return to where the stairs are and enter the bottom left room (the one next to
the Feral) to find a chest with 'Secret Remedy x3' in it. Now exit this room
and enter the N locked room. Look on the left side to find 'Lesser Tonic x3'.

 In the room with the salesman person, go to the E, open the door and enter the
lower left room (right S of the stairs) and check the barrels to find 'Smoke
Bomb x3'...

   <vin> If you fight Bodyguards in these areas, they may drop Heat Edges, a
   weapon for Kyrie and Leather Cuirasses, an armor for Morte.

 Return to the hallway and go W and open the door at the end with the Treasure
Room Key.

 Inside, grab 'Purple Amulet' and 'Steel Amulet' from the chests. Return and go
up the large stairs at the E side of the area. A little scene triggers as you
get out of the ship. You'll have to defeat 2 Bodyguards, which are the same as
the Lookout, only that a different color and a little bit stronger. The scene
continues and you'll have to fight more Bodyguard as you proceed.

 You trigger a scene as you enter the Bridge with Felis Rex, the captain of the
ship. Morte also learns a new Quip. Now a stuffed animal start talking and
tries to kill Kyrie. After all the talk, we need to retrieve a sample of
silverine plus Taupy (the stuffed animal) learns a new Quip plus joins the
party.

 Before departing, another girl appears out of nowhere and starts talking with
Kyrie. She's Lady Rhi'a.

   <vin> Haha, Felis Rex's name is Meow... XD!

 So now, our next destination shall be...

 Watch the little scene as we enter this place. Also, Rhi'a learns a new Quip,
even though she hasn't joined the party. Start by equipping Morte and Taupy
with their Quips. Now go E and E at the fork and enter the weapon shop. They
may have some rare weapons on shop, but DO NOT buy a Zweihander for Morte and
Metal Knuckles for Taupy -- you'll find one of each in the next dungeon. Return
to the previous fork and go N then enter the armor shop to the W.

 Buy only a Survival Vest for Kyrie and a Tight Suit for Morte...

   <vin> DO NOT, and I repeat, DO NOT sell Morte's Pastel Suit. It is needed
   for a future sidequest to obtain Morte's best armor further in the game.

 Now leave the shop and go N to enter...

Great... when you're able to move, go inside the building. Go directly N from
where you start and check the bookshelf to find 'Antidote x5'. Now go inside
the room behind it and check the shelf on the left to find 'Lesser Remedy x5'.

 Taupy learns a new Quip in the initial scene. From where we start, check the
NE shinning stone to find 'Earth Stone'. Now go N then go NE at the next fork
and examine the yellow dais. Place the Earth Stone we just got and you'll
remove the Yellow Mist that was blocking the paths. Now we need to find the
blue stone.

 Return now to the previous fork and go NW to find 'Water Stone'. Now return to
the fork at the beginning and go E this time. When you reach another fork, go S
to find a blue dais. Examine it and place the Water Stone. Now the Blue Mist is
gone. Return to the fork at the beginning once again and this time, go W and S
at the next fork to find a chest that contains 'Zweihander'.

 Return to the previous fork and go N to find a building... enter it. Follow
the path and when you find yourself in a forking path, go N to find several
coffins. Search the NW one (yellow coffin) to find 'Book of Arms'. Keep going N
and grab the red stone that's on the coffin, which is the 'Fire Stone'. You'll
be locked in this room if you grab it.

 Haha, you still can't grab it =P. Leave it there and return to the entrance.
Go E at the fork and when you get to a fork, go N to find a chest with 'Metal
Knuckles' in it. Now go S from the fork to find yet another chest, only that it
has '200G' in it. Now go W from the fork to find some more coffins. Check the
NW coffin to find 'Book of Mind'.

 Keep following the path E to find 'Air Stone'. Now return to where the Fire
Stone is, take it and place the Air Stone in its place. Now return to the fork
in the entrance and go W from the fork and when you get to a room with coffins
and a path going N and another one going S, go S to find a chest with 'Antidote
x5' in it...

   <vin> This place is swarming with parties of Brigands and Broken Fists. You
   may want to fight several Broken Arms to obtain an Assassin's Edge, which
   has 10 ATK more than Survival Knife plus gives you AGL +3.

 ... return to the fork and go N to find the red dais. Examine it and place the
Fire Stone on it to remove the Red Mist. Now exit the Undercroft, go E towards
all the way and go N at the end to find a Heal Point. Go N from the Heal Point
to enter the next area, in which you're greeted by...

 ~ Strategy: As Taupy says, this is the Lord of the swamp. Oh goody. This boss
is not that hard, but it's annoying because most of your Physical attacks won't
do any good to it. Instead, have Kyrie use Toadstool Salad all the battle,
Morte her Molotov Cocktail and Taupy his Sonic Strike. Venomfin will go down
rather quickly if your 3 characters are attacking him nonstop with their Blood
Skills.

 If you need to heal, use Kyrie Life Skill to heal the team back to normal.

 After the fight, you'll find 'Silvervine'. Now you'll be back with Meow
automatically. He'll hand over '1000G' as a reward for finding it. Now we need
to go get a blue rose. After some chat, you'll be at...

 The General Store is right next to you, there's nothing new here, but restock
if you need to. Go N and at the plaza go SW and enter the Great Library. As you
can see, the Library divides in several sections. Enter the section to the
right and check the red book on the table to trigger a little scene. The scene
continues as you exit the Library.

 Now let's go meet with a Smithy, which strengthens our weapons. Go to the E
side of section and enter the building with the Hammer icon. What you can do
here is imbue your weapons in stock (not the ones equipped) with materials
you've found (use a Red Ore to have the weapon deal Fire dmg.). Also, you can
extract material from the weapons in stock to receive the Material (you can
extract a Red Ore from an Heat Edge for example).

 Do any customization you want to make, although I'd recommend you to wait to
find better materials and weapons. For now though, we need to go to Viteau, so
return S to the Sandsea and you'll automatically move to...

 Watch how the people of Viteau run away scared of Morte -- plus Kyrie learns a
new Quip. You start here in the Port area. Nothing to do here, but you can go
to the NW corner to find a ferryman that can take you to the Gardens. Don't do
that just yet, instead, go all the way E and enter the Azure Square. Go to the
E side from the S path, cross the bridge, and use the Inn if needed.

 Then save your game and approach the NE crowd to trigger a scene. During this
scene, Taupy learns a new Quip. After some dialogue, you'll enter a...

--=======------=======----=-=----===-----===-----------====----=-------===-----

 ~ HP: 2,500
 ~ CP: 42
 ~ Items: Book of Arms
 ~ Elemental Affinity
  + Weak: Ice
  + Strong: Fire

 ~ Strategy: I hope you've leveled up your Blood Skills, because they'll be
very useful for this battle. Since Ice is what takes most HP, use Taupy's Icy
Strike and Morte's Blizzard. Porcus has a vulnerability against Stun, so use
Kyrie's Numbing Broth to gain a lot of turns for each one of his. Also, it's
very easy to delay Porcus' turns with Taupy's Icy Strike, so keep using it
through the whole battle while you have Kyrie (who should be the most useless
character in this battle) uses Lesser Tonics to keep the SP up.

 Whenever you see that Porcus sits and opens up the mouth in its' stomach, stop
the Skills and start using physical attacks until you break his defense. Keep
using Ice skills and Kyrie to heal to end this battle quickly.

==-------======-------====-=-====---=====---===========----====-=======---=====

 Watch the scene after the battle. From where we're left, check the General
Store to the N of you, which still has the same crap and go N to the Shopping
Arcade. Go to the Armorer on the E side of the area and buy: Hard Leather Vest
for Kyrie, a Hardened Cuirass for Morte and a Meteor Bandana for Taupy. Leave
the shop and go N to find the Arsenal.

 If you're lucky, you can find Assassin's Edges here, as well as the rare
Reaper Gloves. If not, then buy Combat Knife for Kyrie, Claymore for Morte and
Hammer Knuckles for Taupy. These are some serious upgrades, which I love =).

   <vin> The Metal Knuckles you found in Fallenmire give you extra AGL, ACC,
   EVA but has 17 ATK points less than the Hammer Knuckles. Think very
   carefully of what you want. I personally chose to keep my Metal Knuckles.

 Use the Smithy in the area if you want/need to and return to Azure Square. Use
the Inn if you need to and go E to exit this place and then enter...

   Training Garbs.

 Start following the path and at the first fork, a scene triggers. Oh wow, we
have a shop right here in the dungeon. Go S from this fork and at the bottom,
go W to find a chest with 'Blue Ore x2' in it. Go E this time and when you get
to another fork, go N and follow this path N until you get to yet another fork.

 Go SE this time to find a chest at the end that contains 'Tome of Secrets x2'.
Use them right away. You need all the CP you can get. Return to the previous
fork and go S this time. Cross the bridge and when you find yourself in a fork,
go to the E to find 'Lesser Tonic x5'. Return, go S and at the next fork, go W
then S to find 'Lesser Remedy x10'.

this area. Now we're into a fight...

   <vin> Oh God dammit Morte! I hate chicks who do these kind of things.

 These enemies aren't so hard. Just attack them normally to take them down.
They have around 500~600 HP each, but with Flurry attacks, they'll go down in a
blink of an eye ;). Now use the Heal Point and let us proceed deeper into the
Garden in search of the Blue Rose.

 Go N into the Irrigation Tunnel and you'll find 2 exits. Enter the one on the
right and out here, enter the one on the S and you'll find 4 more exits. Enter
the first one of the 3 on the upper part and follow it to find 'Ice Blade' at
the end. Equip it right away to Morte and return to the area with the 4 exits.

 Enter the one on the right (upper middle one) and in the N/S fork, go S and
you'll find another room with several exits. Follow the SW one and you'll come
across a chest with 'Windproof Coat' in it. Go to the right to return to the
second multiforking path. Go N and in the N/W fork, go N and follow it. When
you exit the Irrigation Tunnel, you'll find 'Blue Rose' as you enter this
little area.

triggers where Naja and Rajiv board the Zifnir and try to take you by force.
But Meow helps you out, as well as Lady Rhi'a. =) During the scene, Morte
learns a new Quip. Nice. After some nice scenes, you'll enter a...

  + Weak: Ice
  + Strong: Fire

 ~ Name: Feral Soldier
 ~ HP: ~450
 ~ Elemental Affinity
  + Weak: None
  + Strong: None

 ~ Strategy: This is just a little bit harder than the previous battle against
Rajiv -- and the only reason for that is because he comes with Naja. First of
all, dispose of the Feral Soldier. We don't want anyone to bother us while
battling Naja and Rajiv. Once the Feral Soldier is down, focus yourself in
Rajiv.

 Have Taupy use Icy Strike or Sonic Strike to deal over 190 dmg. to Rajiv. You
can put him to sleep with Kyrie's Sleeproot Saut� Skill. Have Morte follow
Taupy and use Blizzard to deal dmg. to both enemies. Naja's most powerful
attack is Cry Wolf, which deals between 25-40 dmg. to all party members.

 As you can see, this battle is not hard at all. Naja tends to use Cry Wolf
more often when Rajiv is down, so be really careful and use Kyrie's Medicinal
Soup constantly whenever needed.

 You'll receive at the end of the battle 49 CP, 10,605 Gold and for Items: Sage
Glasses.

 Continue watching the scene...

   <vin> Oh man, Morte seriously is one-of-a-kind =).

 ... but the good thing about all this is that Taupy joins the party. He also
learns a new Quip, so that's always good. Looks like it's time to Slay the
Azure Sea. How can you do that? We must return to Viteau to find Azure Sea, but
first, we go to...

 The scene continues from before. We're at Bacchitav Caravan. This is rather a
large "city", so let's get started. Start by going W across the bridge and then
N across yet another bridge. Go inside the building to the N which is the
Chief's Hut. A scene with the Chief starts once you enter...

   <vin> Man, I thought the Chief was going to be an old geezer like most of
   the times in all RPGs ^_^'.

 After the scene with the Chief, Morte learns one more Quip. We finally have
Meow's cooperation to go to Sky Gaol, but isn't that where Agan is? Before
leaving, return inside the Chief's Hut, go to the left room and examine the
shelf on the left to find 'Sand King's Turban'. Exit and go E towards the
shopping area.

 Next to the Arsenal is a man. Talk to him and he'll talk with Morte about the
Nameless Sword you're carrying about. He'll make you a better sword for Green
Ore x20. We don't have that much yet, so that'll have to wait. Now enter the
Arsenal and you'll find some really sweet things in here. Buy the following:
Bush Knife for Kyrie, Whaleslayer for Morte and Dragon Knuckles for Taupy.

 The Armorer has some good armor that protects against every element. Buy if
you want to and return to Meow. After a little scene, you'll automatically
arrive at...

 Look at the W side to find some people there. These are the shop owners of the
caravan. You can buy Weapons, Armor and Items from here anytime. Nice. Now
proceed into the next area, the Gaol Perimeter. Run alongside the path and
enter the second room to your N.

 Go straight and talk to the prisoner. He'll ask a favor of you and give you
'Pendant'. Time to take this baby to her baby =P. Now return to the previous
area and enter the last room to your right. Talk to the prisoner in here and
he'll hand over 'Letter'. He tells you to deliver it to another prisoner 2
cells away. Follow the path and give the letter to the next prisoner you see.

 He'll take the letter and give you another 'Letter'. Now leave the room to the
SE, follow the path and enter the next area. The prisoner in here tells you
that Agan (man in green coat) was dragged down the ladder, so we must go in the
right direction. Go down the ladder and exit down here to reach Gaol Parameter.
You can go either N or S from here. Go N, enter Middle Cellblock 1 and talk to
the first prisoner you come across (directly to the N when you enter).

 Hand over the Letter you had for him and he'll hand over 'Letter'. Time to
take this to a girl down below. DO NOT GO W! You'll fall to Lower Cellblock 1.
We'll get there in due time, but for now, return to the N/S fork, go S and
enter the Middle Cellblock 2. Go down the ladder in here to reach the lower
levels. Follow the path E and when you get to the Gaol Perimeter, go N and
enter the first room to E.

 Talk to the person in the corner to give the Letter away. She'll then give you
another 'Letter'. Return to the Gaol Perimeter and go N this time. This is the
area where you would've felled from before. Simple go N then W and S to reach
the other side of Gaol Perimeter. Enter the last room to the room, Lower
Cellblock 1. Go to the end and talk to the prisoner before the ladder to
receive 'Small Package'.

 Now go up the ladder and follow the path. Talk to the old man before leaving
and he'll give you 'Note'. Go to the end of the path (you'll be in the same
area where the hole in the ground is) and talk to the guy near the hole to give
him the Note. He'll then give you another 'Note'. He tells you to fall down the
hole. Do so. It's the fastest way to get there.

 Go E from where you start, then go N at the fork. Talk to the lady down here
to give her the Note. She'll give you 'Sand Rabbit's Loss'...

   <vin> Finally, our first accessory. It doubles the Gold obtained through
   battle, but it has a broken heart. No one in the party can equip with
   without having their Morale lowered, and we don't want that at this point.

 Go S and return to the Gaol Perimeter. Go S and enter the next room. Talk to
the first man in this room to give him the Small Package. He'll hand over
another 'Small Package'. Let's go give away this package, shall we? Return
outside, go N and follow the path to get to the other side of Gaol Perimeter.
Enter the last room to the W and go to the end of the path and talk to the old
man (before the ladder).

 Give him the Small Package you just got and he'll give you 'Secret Recipe'...

   <vin> This baby will give you twice as much CP to the equipped character.
   Only Kyrie has a full heart, meaning that he'll have a Morale Boost as the
   battles progresses.

 Now return to the previous Gaol Perimeter, enter the last room and follow the
path until you reach the next Gaol Perimeter. Enter the S most room (where the
ladder going up is) and exit to the other Gaol Perimeter. Follow the path until
you reach the next Gaol Perimeter. Enter the next room (quite long, to be
honest) and talk to the first prisoner you come across (old man). Hand over the
Letter.

 He'll hand over 'Letter', and we'll give that one away in a bit...

   <vin> Read the following only if you want to deliver the remaining letters
   to receive a Hero's Badge, otherwise, continue reading from ~~~.

 Return to the beginning of the dungeon and in the first Gaol Perimeter, enter
the W most room, go N in here, go down the ladder and talk to the red=haired
man here to give him the letter. He now hands over another 'Letter'. Return to
the Gaol Perimeter, follow the path and when you get to the Gaol Perimeter in
the middle floor, go N and follow the path until you fall down.

 Down here, go S and in the Gaol Perimeter, go W and enter the first room to
the N. Give this lone man the Letter and he'll give another damn 'Letter'.
Hehe... return all the way to the entrance and in the first Gaol Perimeter,
enter the W most room once again and talk to the first prisoner here to hand
over the Letter. He'll give you 'Hero's Badge'. Nice. Now return to where the
old man handed over the Letter.

 ~~~ Now follow the path all the way to the end and go up the ladder to the
upper floor. Up here, simply follow the path until you get to the next Gaol
Perimeter. Enter the N room, go up the ladder and up here, talk to the woman to
give her the Pendant. She'll give you 'Vanguard Wing'.

 Leave the room towards the Gaol Perimeter and enter the next room. Use the
Heal Point (I bet you need it) and go S to trigger a scene with Rajiv, Naja and
Agan. After a nice scene, you'll be in a...

  + Strong: Fire

 ~ Strategy: Ok, this is getting repetitive. He's a bit tougher this time. He
has Wind III, which is a lot of dmg. It can also knock you into midair and
combo you up there, nearly killing you. He also has a new attack called Combo
Boost II. It's not an attack that hurts you, but when he uses 2, he transforms
into the wolf he is and deals around 60+ dmg. to the entire party. To top it
off, he's fast as ****. Seriously. He may have 2 moves per each one of yours.

 Whenever he uses an attack that hits the hole party, use healing Skills to
completely recover the party. Just keep your party over 70 HP and you'll be
fine.

 Watch the scene after the battle and Agan learns a new Quip. Now that Agan
joined the party, you could take out Morte and put Agan in the party...

   <vin> Man, I have over 750 CP that need to be used =P.

 Now follow the path and when you can go N outside to the Gaol Perimeter, go S
and follow the path all the way to the E and at the end, go S, save your game
and use the lift to get to the next room. Examine the N sparking wall to
receive 'Mysterious Sceptre'. After a little scene, you'll enter...

 ~ Strategy: Oh, we now get to play with pops. Lupus Rex, on his first turn,
he'll probably use Battle Boost II twice to attack all party members for around
65 dmg. He also has Spark III, which is like Rajiv's Aero III. Basically, he's
just like Rajiv, only that with more HP and a little bit stronger, so the same
strategy applies here. He also has Voice of Chains, which attacks all party
members plus it can inflict Stun on all of them, which is a real pain in the
ass.

==-------======-------====-=-====---=====---===========----====-=======---=====

 During the scene, Agan learns a new Quip, which is always good. When you
regain control, return to the entrance of the dungeon and in the Gaol Perimeter
near the Zifnir, go and talk to the man that gave you the Pendant (second room
to the N). He'll thank you and give you 'Rearguard Wing' as a reward. Now
return to the Zifnir and Meow will give you '3000G' for the Sceptre.

 Alrighty, go N all the way, then go W and talk to the guy here. He'll offer a
ride to the Floating Garden, so go there. Talk to the woman in red and she'll
take Pastel Suit from you and she'll give you 'Eye-popping Blouse'. Equip it
and return to the harbor. Go all the way E and enter the Azure Square. Go N to
the Shopping Arcade.

 Enter the Arsenal and buy: Cermet Knife for Kyrie, Executioner for Morte and
Chain Whip for Agan. Exit and go into the Armorer to the S. A little scene
triggers with Agan in here. He sells a coat for Agan for 10,000G. You'll
receive 'Fine Tailored Coat' if you buy it. Buy in here a Metal Jacket for
Kyrie and a Metal Blazer for Morte.

 Return to the Shopping Arcade and go to the N following the W path. A little
scene triggers at the N end of the path. You'll be going to Taupy's house. Nice
=). Haha! You'll be in a surprise once inside! Hahaha. Time to go kill Rana
Rex. Man, that was one hilarious scene. Looks like we now need to go to the
Botanical Gardens. Ugh.

 Return to Azure Square, stay at the Inn if you need, then exit Viteau to the

 Another confusing area >_>. Enter the first Irrigation Tunnel. Down here,
enter the first entrance to the N to trigger a little scene. Afterwards, you'll
have to battle 2 Sentries. They're not hard at all. The only annoying thing
about them is that they use Heal I, but that shouldn't be a problem since you
should be able to defeat them in 1 turn.

 After the battle, the man hands over 'Lever Key 1'. Now proceed N to the next
Irrigation Tunnel. There are 3 more exits here. Enter the one right next to you
(on your left) and open the chest out here to find 'Cragblade'. Return and
enter the next one to the N. Out here, go N and in the Irrigation Tunnel, go N
once again and follow the passage to the S.

 You'll come to 3 more exits. The first and third one lead no nothingness, so
take the middle path and another little scene will trigger. Time to fight more
Sentries. Kill then to rescue another captive. He'll hand over 'Lever Key 3'.
Now go S and enter the Irrigation Tunnel to find a chest with 'Bloody Bandana'
in it.

 Return 3 screens and in the Irrigation Tunnel with the N/W/E fork, go W this
time to find an area with tons of exits. Go directly S, enter the Irrigation
Tunnel and follow the path to find 'Orange Amulet' in a chest. Return to the
large area and enter the tunnel to the NE (the last one in the corner). From
the fork in the Tunnel, go E to trigger a little scene and another battle with
some Sentries.

 You'll find the last kid and this one will give you 'Lever Key 2'. Return to
the large and enter the tunnel to the S (where the person is outside). Follow
the long path and when you get to a Heal Point, enter the first exit on your
upper right and open the chest to find 'Reserve Ring'. Equip it on whoever is
in the reserve party (Taupy in my case) to have him gain normal XP instead of
half. Sweet. Now return to the Heal Point.

 Enter the upper middle one to find a lever. Use the Lever Key 1 to lower the
lever. 2 more to go. Return to the Heal Point and enter the upper left one. Use
the Lever Key 3 to lower the lever. Return to the Heal Point once again and
enter the W exit. Use the Lever Key 2 to finally lower the bridge.

 Return to the Heal Point one last time, use it and go N the upper left exit.

 ~ HP: ~9,200

 ~ Items: None
 ~ Elemental Affinity
  + Weak: Earth

 ~ Strategy: Rana Rex is pretty easy, even though it has a ton of HP -- and
more if you bring Taupy instead of Agan like I did the first time. Yes, Rana
Rex has over 9,000 HP, which almost doubles Lupus Rex's HP. Let me name the
attacks. He has Spark II, which is a strong Air-elemental attack to 1 character
for 34~62 dmg. He has a combo attack for 9 hits (which usually do 1 dmg. per
hit) and can inflict Venom, so cure it ASAP with Antidotes and/or Kyrie's Life
Skill.

 He also has Bad Breath, which deals 35~40 dmg. to all characters, plus it can
inflict Stun to all. Use Kyrie's Medicinal Soup to heal some HP and cure Stun.
Another and most annoying attack, Sleep Gas, which has 100% accuracy to inflict
Sleep on all 3 characters. I hope you have enough HP, because after this
attack, he'll have several turns ahead of you, so he can deal quite the dmg.

 Just like Lupus Rex, he has Battle Boost II, which he'll use his Follow-up
attack to inflict heavy dmg. to all 3 characters (between 50~80 dmg.). Just try
to keep your HP over 80 and you'll be fine. As for spells, do not use them as
they inflict so little dmg. and you should spend it for useful things like
healing.

 After the battle, you'll receive 'Writ of Passage'. The good thing is that you
exit the Botanical Gardens automatically. Now simply enter...

o~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~o

 First of all, look at the red and green buttons on each side of the entrance.
They'll come in handy a bit later. Start by going NW, then cross the bridge SW
and go S to find a chest with 'Rock Whip' in it...

   <vin> This whip increases your DEF by 10 and your VIT by 3, but decreases
   your ATK by 10. Not worth it in my opinion.

 Now go N, up the stairs and in the 4th floor, grab the chest to the E to find
'Blaze Gun'. Return to the entrance of the Tower and examine the red switch.
This will make the bridge on the W side move to the E. Go NE all the way
(ignore the bridge for now) and at the end of the semicircular hallway, push
the pillar into the water.

 Return to where the bridge is, cross it and go S to open a chest with
'Lifebringer'...

   <vin> This sword reduces your ATK by 16, but increases HP 10%, which should
   be around 21 HP. Not worth it at all. It's good to take to the Smithy for
   the Material, though.

  Now go N and up the stairs to the 4th floor. Down here, follow the path S and
grab 'Silver Amulet' on the E. Now return to the entrance, hit the red switch
once again and return to where you got the Silver Amulet. Now a bridge should
be here at the S side -- so cross it and go up the stairs at the end of the
path to get to the 5th floor.

 There are to paths, the outer path and the inner path. Go to the N side on the
inner path to find a chest with 'Flask of Wonder' in it. Now go to the E side
of the inner path to trigger a little scene and then you'll trigger a...

 ~ HP: ~17,000
 ~ CP: 123
 ~ Items: None
 ~ Elemental Affinity
  + Weak: Earth
  + Strong: Water, Air, Fire

 ~ Strategy: Alrighty, we have to targets. Focus on the body first. If you
already have your Flurries chained, Kyrie will be doing over 550 dmg. Have
Morte use Army of Me in the first turn she gets so she can deal massive dmg.
Make sure you bring into the battle Kyrie, Morte and Taupy. We need Taupy's
Second Wind just in case any character dies, Taupy can revive him/her. Don't
even bother inflicting status ailments nor using skills, as most of them as
useless against him.

 For Azure Sea's attacks, he has Bolt of Lightning, which is Air dmg. to one
character that deals 36~120 dmg. He likes to use it twice in a row and on the
same character. What a pain. Purifying Rain, deals 20~30 dmg. to the entire
party. Water III is another pain. It deals 45~63 dmg., so heal up right as you
can.

 After you deal around 6,500 dmg. to the body, he'll go underwater and only
raise the head. He now has more attacks. He has Tempest, which is basically
Bolt of Lightning, only that it hurts all the party. Take extreme caution
fighting only the head, as it has the tendency to attack and attack and attack
the same character over and over until he uses his follow-up attack that deals
50~85 dmg. to all characters.

 He also starts using Healing Boost, which is practically Regen and heals
around 400 each of his turns. What a pain man. Basically, this is an endurance
fight. He heals a lot, and you should too with one of your BP. There's nothing
else I can write for here, other than keep your HP over 120 and you're good.

 Just our luck. Now where are we? You must move inside the door to transport to
that direction. Go N and at this fork, go E...

   <vin> Pay extreme caution because this is really confusing.

 ... then N at the next platform. Go N once again and go E twice to find a Pink
Crystal Pillar. Break it to unblock a door. Return W twice, go S once, E once,
N once and E once more. You'll find another Crystal Pillar, only that this one
is blue. Break it, return W once, N once...

   <vin> This is where the Pink Flower Barrier was, blocking the W side.

 ... and go E once...

   <vin> This is where the Blue Flower Barrier was, blocking the E side.

 ... go E two more times, then N to find a White Crystal Pillar. Break it and
now it's time to go find where the White Flower Barrier was. Go S once, and 5
times W (until you can no more). Then go N once...

   <vin> This is where the White Flower Barrier was, blocking the N side.

 ... and N once more. From the fork, go E twice, N once and E once more to find
Rhi'a. She joins the party. Nice. Now go N until you enter the Chamber of
Knights. This part is easy and fast. Start by going W and at the corner, go S
(do not enter the maze just yet).

 Use the Heal Point if needed and go to the SW corner to find Taupy. He'll say
some things to you and rejoin the party. The way this works is: when you enter
the mirror, you appear 2 spaces to the front and 1 to the right. Simply follow
this pattern: go into the red, red again, red once more, yellow, yellow again,
yellow once more, enter the SW blue mirror and last green.

 You'll find Agan in here. Nice. Once he rejoins the party, go N and enter the
gate. You're now in the Hall of Illusion. Use the Heal Point, save your game
and simply go N to trigger a scene with Morte. Also, Serpens Rex makes its
appearance. After the scene, guess what comes. Yep, a...

 ~ Name: Morte
 ~ HP: ~700
 ~ Elemental Affinity
  + Weak: None

 ~ Strategy: This battle can be hard. Not because of her HP, nor the dmg., but
because she can confuse you, killing Morte (most probably). Simply use Flurry
attacks with Rhi'a, Taupy and Kyrie, but do not use Special attacks, since
you'll be attacking Morte too. Whenever you need healing, use whoever you can
to heal up. Whatever you do, DO NOT attack Morte.

 As for attacks, she has Demon's Soul, which deals 35~60 dmg. plus it can
Confuse you. Nice. He also has Shadow III, which deals 30~70 dmg. to a single
character. Temptation deals dmg. to your party, plus it can confuse you too.
She doesn't deal that much dmg. (well, in comparison to Azure Sea), but when
she confuses you, use Kyrie's Medicinal Soup to cure it. Demon Stench deals 50~
70 dmg. to all the party, so heal up afterwards. She has other attacks, but
they're the same and can inflict Confuse, so that's your number 1
preoccupation.

 Taupy's Second Wind comes in real handy. If you have 2 characters dead (I had
Rhi'a and Kyrie dead and Taupy with 3HP o_O), use it to gain full strength and
beat the crap out of Serpens Rex. She also has an attack in which physical
attacks won't hurt her, so use Air-elemental Blood Skills to take her out.

 You'll receive at the end of the battle 86 CP, 17,359 Gold and for Items:
None.

chest with 'Yellow Ore x2' in it...

   <vin> You might wanna fight some Madhusks, since they drop Steel Shells,
   that have 15+ more DEF than your actual armor and Bounty Hunters that drop
   Gaia Knuckles, which are a pretty good weapon for Taupy.

a little bit, W at the next one and N at the next fork. You'll be in another
fork. Follow it W, then W at the next one and in the N/S fork, go S, jump down
the platform at the end and open the chest to find 'Lesser Tonic x5'.

 From down here, go N and NW at the fork. At the top fork, go W and at the N/S
fork, go N this time, E at the next fork and at the fork with a jumping
platform, go N and check the upper path to find 'Tome of Knowledge x4' in a
chest. Return to the previous fork, go E down the platform, and follow the path
until you come to another platform.

 Drop down this one and when you get to the fork, go S, then E at the next one.

 Watch the scene as you enter between Aquila Rex and Naja. Wow o_O. Naja gains
a Quip, which says he'll be joining us soon. As you move E, you come to some
stairs to the N that take you to some shops. The General Store has 2 new
items -- the Tonic that restores 50 SP and Renewal Potion that casts Regen to
the user. Pretty nice and expensive items.

 The next set of stairs has the Armorer and Arsenal. The only thing worth
buying in the Arsenal is Agan's Nine Tails. In the Armorer, you can buy Silver
Vest and Silver Cuirasses for whoever needs them. Return outside and go up the
third and last set of stairs to enter the Noble Quarter. Follow the path and
when you reach the plaza, a scene triggers.

 You'll now be in a set of battles with Feral Soldiers and Feral Officers.
They're pretty weak. They're strongest attack is the Feral Officer's Storm III,
which deals 17~25 dmg. to all characters. After the 4th fight, Kyrie and Morte
leave the party, so you'll have to stick with Rhi'a, Taupy and Agan. When the
menu pops up, heal up, make sure you're well equipped and when you exit the
menu, Agan learns a new Quip.

 You'll fight some more Feral Soldiers and after this first fight, Rhi'a learns
a new Quip =). After some battles, Kyrie and Morte reach Aquila Rex and the
menu opens. This can only mean one thing. Heal up, use any CP you have, make
sure you have your Flurries 1~3 are chained and prepare for a...

 ~ HP: ~3,800

 ~ Strategy: Aquila Rex is actually quite hard, since you only have Morte and
Kyrie for battle. He's in the air, so no combos from your Flurries. Dammit.
Kyrie should easily get to 6 BP in every turn. Just use your Air Flurry with
him to deal 250+ dmg. per Air Flurry, so with 4 you do in 1 turn takes around
1/4 of his health. The physical attacks deal around 0~1 dmg. to Kyrie.
Seriously. His other attacks deal around 50 dmg. His special attack deals
between 0~5 dmg.

 If Morte dies on you, don't even worry on reviving her. She has low DEF and
Aquila Rex likes to attack her whether she has War Paint on or not. If you
want, you could try to use a Stoneskin Potion to increase Morte's DEF, but if
she keeps dying, just let her dead.

 As for attacks, he has Godspeed, which increases drastically his SPD. Feather
Shot deals around 45~55 dmg. to one character. Wind III does 50~65 dmg. to one
character. Storm II does 15~20 dmg. to both characters. Like all bosses, he has

 Watch the scene after the battle. Before moving on, go to the Inn near the
entrance and rest. You need it. Now return and go N up the stairs to trigger a
scene and you'll enter...

--=======------=======----=-=----===-----===-----------====----=-------===-----

   ~-~  BOSS: STRANGE BOULDER  ~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~

 ~ HP: ~7,500
 ~ CP: 11
 ~ Items: Golden Shard
 ~ Elemental Affinity
  + Weak: Air
  + Strong: Earth

 ~ Strategy: This Boss is not that hard. His Rock II Skill deals 15~25 dmg. to
all characters. What you should be worried about is its physical attack that
deals 120~150 per hit and he likes to use it twice in a row in the same
character -- that means almost always if not always a KO. Taupy's Second Wind
works wonders in this battle.

 That's about it. This boss really doesn't do much.

==-------======-------====-=-====---=====---===========----====-=======---=====

 From where we're left after the battle, go W to find a chest with 'Gaia
Knuckles' inside. Return to the fork at the entrance, go W and up the stairs...

   <vin> You can fight some Neophyte Scholars to have them drop Mystic Robes,
   which suck, but it's good Gold and has an awesome effect, Major SP Shield,
   which restores SP as you're damaged.

 ... save your game and proceed to trigger another scene. When prompted, strike
the boulder to trigger another Boss. It's the same as the previous one, only
that this one has ~5,000 HP, gives 13 CP and is weak to Fire. As you proceed
around and before going up the stairs, you come across another strange
pillar/arm. It's the same as before -- it has the same HP and weakness but
gives 11 CP.

 Now go up the stairs to fall down... XD. Yep. As you go to the central area,
another Strange Boulder is here. It's the same as the first one and also has a
bit more HP than the previous ones. Once you're done, you'll see a hole to your
left. Do not fall down it. Instead, grab the chest next to it to find
'Psyshooter'. Not worth equipping it.

 Now fall down the NE hole (not the one next to the chest), and down here,
press the red switch N of you. Afterwards, return to where you found the 2
holes to find it a bit different. Use the Heal Point, save your game and go N
to trigger a scene with Golden Earth, the Primal Lord. After some chat, we
enter...

--=======------=======----=-=----===-----===-----------====----=-------===-----

   ~-~  BOSS: GOLDEN EARTH  ~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~

 ~ HP: ~15,500
 ~ CP: 53
 ~ Items: Golden Stone
 ~ Elemental Affinity
  + Weak: Air
  + Strong: Earth

 ~ Strategy: Ok, the second Primal Lord. He's not as though as Azure Sea, but
he's still not an enemy to underestimate. I really recommend bringing Rhi'a and
Taupy in this battle. Taupy, besides being an excellent physical attacker, he
has Second Wind and that saves us from using items and ending out turns. Rhi'a,
if you have her 3 Flurry attacks chained, and Blaze Gun, you'll be dealing
2,700+ dmg. per attack.

 As of its attacks, he has Clay III, which deals 50~80 dmg. to one character.
His physical attack deals around 70 dmg. which is not bad. Rock II deals around
30 dmg. per character. Try to heal every turn, since we want out HP high. His
special attack is the dangerous one. It can deal all the way from 80 dmg. to a
whopping 215 dmg. Make sure to heal after this. These are all of his attacks,
and he likes to combo 2 or 3 Clay III on one character in the same turn, so
please keep your HP up.

 When he's almost dead (around 14,000 dmg.), he'll gain Untiring Defense, which
makes your attacks hit for 5~10 per hit. That sucks. Just keep attacking and
healing until it dissipates or he dies. Flozemz Liquid tells me that if you
don't fight the Strange Boulders (Arms and Torso) through the Tower, the battle
will be a lot easier (I'm guessing you have to fight all of them together).

==-------======-------====-=-====---=====---===========----====-=======---=====

 Watch the scene after the battle. A scene with the remaining Beastlords
triggers. Also, we go to Sky Gaol and whatnot... well, just watch the scenes
=). As much as I want to spoil this, I won't. After some scenes, we must go to
the Valley of Dragons, but for now, we're at...

 This area is rather beautiful. Start by going W, then NE at the fork and
follow the NE path to find a lone chest with 'Windstone Shard x4'. Return, go
up the stairs to the W and at the next fork, go NW and when you get to another
fork, go W to find a lone chest with 'Tome of Knowledge x4' inside. Return to
the fork and go N up the stairs.

 Whenever you get to another fork, go SW and open the chest with 'Lesser Tonic
x5'. Return and keep following the path...

   <vin> Try killing some Rim Mercenaries, which drop Indomitable Garbs. These
   have Braveheart, which increases ATK when attacked. Plus it has more DEF
   than your actual armor.

 ... until you find the exit, grabbing 'Lesser Remedy x10' along the way. Now
move on to...

return to the fork, go W and follow the linear path until a scene triggers.
After it, comes a...

 ~ Strategy: Ok, this is a joke of a boss. Your attacks deal 1,000+ dmg. That
means like 2,500+ dmg. per turn. Yes. 2-3 turns and he's dead.

 As for attacks, his physical attacks deal around 10~20 dmg. per hit. Outcry
deals 30~40 to all characters.

==-------======-------====-=-====---=====---===========----====-=======---=====

 After the battle, watch the really AWESOME scene!

   <vin> Holy ****, I got goose bumps during the scene. Poor Kyrie though.. ='(

 Also, Naja learns 2 new Quips and Rhi'a learns 1. Now we move on to...

 Ok, with Kyrie gone, we need to revive him talking to Lacertus Rex. Go N to
the plaza and follow the NW path to trigger a scene at the end. When you regain
control, go N and in this large room, go N once again to trigger another scene.
Now leave the room and enter the one on the right, the 1st Hour. Another scene
triggers in here. Use the Heal Point and proceed NE to the next room, to
trigger yet another scene.

 Lacertus Rex tells us how to revive Kyrie... through Crimson Sun. Time to go
to the Tower of Light in Lyse. As we leave, something happens and Naja learns a
new Quip.

   <vin> Haha, I love Rhi'a's nickname to Naja... Barky! =)

 Now Naja joins the party! Now leave Galoa to the S, go to Summer Isle and then
go S from Agi Wharfs to enter...

 A scene trigger as you enter. Start by going S following the rather linear
path and you'll see that when you cross the fork, you'll go S. Save and keep
going S and a little scene triggers here with Elephas Rex and here comes...

--=======------=======----=-=----===-----===-----------====----=-------===-----

   ~-~  BOSS: ELEPHAS REX  ~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~

 ~ HP: ~13,500
 ~ CP: 118
 ~ Items: Book of Mind, Twisted Horn
 ~ Elemental Affinity
  + Weak: Water
  + Strong: Fire

 ~ Strategy: I recommend bringing Taupy and Rhi'a to this battle. We need all
the muscle we can get and Naja and Agan are weak... very weak. You must be
quick and accurate in this battle. There's one move that Elephas Rex has where
he puts up a shield where you practically do nothing to him (around 0~9 dmg.
per hit). Just keep attacking and healing until it dissipates.

 The good thing is that he doesn't have a ton of turns like the previous
bosses. His physical attack deals 40~70 dmg. per hit. He has Clay III, which
deals 45~60 dmg. to one character. He has Grand Guise, which adds DEF and Regen
that heals for 400+. Just like Azure Sea... what a pain! His Special Attack
deals 80~120 dmg. to all characters.

==-------======-------====-=-====---=====---===========----====-=======---=====

 Taupy learns a new Quip during the scene. Now that you regain control, before
leaving the area, check the W side of it to find 'Lesser Remedy x10' inside a
chest. Now go E to the fork to go E. Go E and N across another fork then go W
through another fork to appear on the S. Walk S a little bit and now you'll be
in a real fork. Go E first to find a chest with 'Lesser Tonic x5'.

 Return to the fork and go S this time to find 'Red Ore x2' in the chest.
Return one last time to the fork and go W and follow the path until you reach a
NW/NE/S fork. Go NE and follow the path all the way to the end to find 'Tome of
Knowledge x4'. Return to the fork and go S now to reach Summer Isle and get
to...

 A rather melancholic tune is played here. Start by going SW to find the
Arsenal. Buy a Chaosbreaker for Morte, a Thousand Tails for Agan, a Duel
Spinner for Naja and Godhand for Taupy. Return to the entrance, go E all the
way and enter the Armorer. Buy 2 Superior Vests, 1 for Agan and 1 for Naja and
2 Superior Cuirasses, 1 for Morte and 1 for Rhi'a. Use the Inn in middle of
town if you need to, re-stock items if needed...

   <vin> There's an awesome item called Greater Tonic that heals 150 SP to a
   character. Get some of these as they'll come in handy in the next dungeon.

 Talk to the man here and go S until you reach a fork. Follow it W and activate

with traps. Ugh. You'll return, but to the other side. Go all the way N and
take the right exit. Talk to the man here and he'll hand over 'Book of Light'.
Return from whence you came and go all the way S towards the next area to
trigger a little scene.

 Once it's over, go S to reach the next area...

   <vin> Please DO NOT go back. If you do so you'll have to start all over.

 ... start by following the path, go up the stairs, go up the second set of
stairs and at this fork, go to the E under the arc with the moon. We're now in
the shadow area. Follow the path and when you get to a fork in a circular area,
go S to the next area.

 From the fork right ahead of you, go SW across the arc with the moon until you
get to the next area. Follow the path once more and at the fork, go SW to the
next area. Move to the fork in the circular area and go N up the stairs and at
the next fork after the arc with moon, go S down the stairs and follow the path
until you reach the next area.

 From the fork in front of you, go W and use the portal to have it transport
you into...

o~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~o

 This area is such a pain, so I'll do my best to guide you through it. Start by
going and following the path all the way S and use the red switch at the end.
Return to the fork you previously passed, go N, E at the next one and activate
the S to the E. Now return to the W fork, go N and at this fork, go E, then N
at the end. Activate the switch at the end then go S and enter the portal to
the E.

 You're now on the 3rd floor. Follow the W most path to find a chest with
'Martial Bandana' inside. Now go down the path on your E (the one right next to
you) and break the Black Crystal Pillar. Now one of the holes turns into a
path. Nice. Return to the entrance and follow the E most path to find another
Black Crystal Pillar. Break it too. Return to the entrance and go down the
portal.

 From the fork, go N and activate the switch. Return S, go S the third fork,
then E and activate the switch. Now return to the portal and use it to reach
the second floor. Follow the path W until you reach the purple square in the
map. Break the Black Crystal Pillar to make another hole filled. Now return
down the portal.

 We now need to activate all 4 switches. Start with the one you previously
turned off [2/4], now go all the way W, then N all the way and activate the
switch [3/4]. Go S a bit and go E and activate the last switch [4/4]. Now go
and use the portal. A scene triggers as you enter the portal. There's no way to
revive Kyrie, or so says Crimson Sun. Now Kyrie revives and... haha, the scene
is not what I was expecting!!! But I loved it!

 Now we're at the world map, and out destination is the Tower of Wind...

   <vin> Have you seen Kyrie's new look? Awesome, huh?!

 But first, let's do some things...

 Start by going to Agi Wharfs to trigger a little scene. A man appears and
he'll give Rhi'a 'Black Shift'. Once it's over, exit and go back in Agi Wharfs
to trigger yet another scene to have the same guy give Rhi'a 'Laced Chemise'.
She also learns a new Quip. Exit and reenter once more and have Rhi'a get
'Frilled Dress' and she'll send over something to Meow. This is all there is to
it now. This is to get Rhi'a's Best Armor, but we can't get it yet.

 Now go to Viteau and go to the Armor Shop and do you remember that the seller
sold you a coat for 10,000 G? Well, go here again and buy both coats 'Keen
Tailored Coat' and 'Nice Tailored Coat' that cost 20,000 G and 40,000 G a
piece. Buy both. This is also to get Agan's Best Armor.

 I had to do this in a different section because these are the Best Armors, so
you could be aware of where to get them. Now that we're done with this, go to

 Watch the scene as you enter. Annoying place. Really annoying! To start, go to
the W and enter the room, which is the Inn. Use it if needed and the room on
the right is the Arsenal. Buy whatever weapons you can afford and go out...

   <vin> Man, I had over 500,000 G at this point after selling all the crap I
   had. If you buy something, make sure to buy Taupy (Gods and Demons) and
   Rhi'a's (Black Barrel) weapons.

 ... now go E, ignore the room to the S, then go N and enter the room on the E
side (the first one).

 This is the Tower of Light. You'll start at the entrance of the Tower, so just
go to the portal on the E (there are no blue obstacles blocking your way) and
go up the portal. Back in the Depths of Memory, go all the way N, ignore the
door on the W and E and in the N hallway, the 3 room on the N side are shops.
The Armorer sells some cool stuff, but quite expensive. Enter the purple room
on the S side of this hall (the room on the right).

   <vin> Please... PLEASE!!! Buy the Sonic Heels for Rhi'a! You'll totally need
   them for the next battle, unless you wanna use the Sirius Shoes that has a
   broken heart.

 You're now in Lyse. Just exit to the N and we're back. Go S the W hallway,
ignore the rooms and when you get to the next hallway (after passing that thing
that blackouts the screen), enter the first purple room to the N (the one on
the left). This is the Valley of Dragons. Walk to the end of it and exit the
area (like going to the Crevasse). A scene about Rhi'a triggers.

 Once back to the Depths, go W across the blackout area and in this hallway,
enter the first purple room on the W side. We're in the Tower of Earth. Just go
up the stairs to exit this area. Back at the Depths. Go to the N hallway (where
the stores are), then go to the E hallway and enter the N most purple room on
your left. This is Mechto. Go to the end of the path and go to the next area to
trigger a scene of Naja.

 Back at the Depths. Go all the way to the S hallway (where you started) and
enter the only purple room down here to enter Azure Tower. Just go W and up the
stairs to return to the Depths. Return to the N hallway, go to the W hallway
and enter the top W purple room. This is the Caravan now. Leave after the scene
to trigger another scene, with Agan this time.

 Now, follow the path S, past the blackout and enter the last purple room you
come across (the room just before the Heal Point on the W inner hallway). This
is Viteau. After the scene, go S, exit Viteau to trigger a scene, with Taupy
this time. Once it's over, return from whence you came and enter the purple
room you come across (on the E side of the E inner hallway). We're now in
Galoa. Now leave this place.

 Return to the N hallway (where the stores are) and go to the E hallway. You'll
see 3 purple rooms in this hallway. We already entered the top W one and the
lower E one. So now enter the middle W one to get to Agi. Watch the scene and
exit this place. Now go to the W hallway and from the 3 W purple rooms, enter
the middle one to arrive at the Zetska Manor. After the scene, leave this
place.

 Since we're near the blackout, go S, go past it and enter the second purple
room to the N in this hallway. This is Barni. After the scene, exit this place
to trigger a scene, with Kyrie this time. He learns a new Quip. Now we'll be
exactly outside a green gate. Use the Heal Point behind you, save your game
and...

   <vin> Please read the Boss strategy before proceeding. You really need to
   make some preparations because the next boss is a bitch... literally.

 go through the green gate to trigger a scene, with Morte this time. Kyrie
learns yet another Quip. Now prepare for...

   ~-~  BOSS: NOCTUA REX  ~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~

 ~ HP: ~12,000
 ~ CP: 116
 ~ Items: Book of Mind
 ~ Elemental Affinity
  + Weak: None
  + Strong: None

 ~ Strategy: Ok, this boss is hard if you don't prepare yourself. Make sure to
equip Rhi'a and Taupy an accessory to increase AGL: Sonic Heels, Speed Shoes or
Sirius Shoes (although it has a broken heart) so they get the first turns. In
her first turn, have her use Crystal Voice to cancel his damn uppercuts that is
an Air Follow-up combo plus leaves him in the air. If you have 3 BP, use
another one to use Alluring Voice to cast Regen. Now use the last BP to attack.

 Probably Noctua Rex will have a turn at this point. Now, if Taupy is next,
have him use both True Faith and Pride's Fang to increase ATK and DEF of the
party. With this, we are now prepared to battle.

 Note that all dmg. calculations will be based on your party having True Faith
on. For his attacks, he has his physical attacks that deal now around 10~15
dmg. per hit [it used to hit for 30~45 per hit. and it was almost a KO]. He
also has Nightmare which deals 15~30 dmg. to all characters. The rest of his
attacks deal around 30 dmg. max to either 1 or all characters.

 With what you did in the beginning of the battle, you made the battle a lot
more easier. You won't have a problem with this battle. Just keep using Rhi'a's
Crystal Voice every 2-3 turns just to be sure.

 From the fork at the entrance, go N and use the switch. A blizzard will stop
on the E side. Return to the fork, go E and then NW to find another switch.
Press it another blizzard to the N will stop. Return to the fork, go N and at
the next fork, go W and press the switch. Return to the fork and follow the
path SW completely to find another switch. Press this last one, return to the
previous fork, go W and follow the path until you reach some stairs going up.

 Up here in the second floor, go N at the first fork to find 'Force Edge' in a
chest. Return to the fork, go E and N at the next one. Press the switch at the
end, return to the fork and go S and at the fork, go W to find another chest,
only that this one has 'Ancient Ring'. Return to the previous fork, go N and up
the stairs to the 3rd floor.

 Go E from the fork, go E, press the switch at the end, return to the fork, go

  + Weak: None
  + Strong: None

 ~ Strategy: Start of like you did with Noctua Rex. Use Rhi'a's Crystal Voice
to put Debuff Ward and have Taupy use True Faith and Pride's Fang. Jade Zephyr
will now be airborne. You need to attack her at least 10 times to dissipate her
shield and do some good dmg.

 Her attacks. Her physical attack does 20~25 dmg. per hit... and she hits you
17 times! That's around 360 dmg. WTF!!! Lulling Zephyr does little dmg., around
5 dmg. to all characters, but it can put you to sleep, so that's no good at
all. Ill Wind does random dmg. It can do from 50 dmg. all the way to 379 dmg.
(yeah, my Kyrie received that amount of dmg.) But that's not the worse part.
When she uses Ill Wind, her wind shield goes back up, so yeah, that's not good
at all.

 Netherworld is another of her attacks. It deals 35~50 dmg. to one character.

o~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~o

 In here, go all the way N, enter the 11th hour and use the red lever once...

   <vin> The red lever moves the clock hands 2 hours back -- meaning that if
   it's 6 o'clock when you enter, use the red lever and now it'll be 4 o'clock.
   What the blue lever does is make the clock hands 3 hours forward.

 ... to make the hour 4 o'clock. Now use the blue lever once to make it 7
o'clock. Enter The 7th Hour room and open the chest to find 'Danger Sensor'...

   <vin> The enemy Prototype Zero is an advanced form of Rearguard and has tons
   of DEF. The good thing is that it drops Rare Metal Armor, which has the
   ability [Lessen Physical] that obviously lessens Physical dmg. and has
   110 DEF. I recommend equipping it on Taupy if you're using him as its most
   probably he's the character with less DEF in the team.

 ... return to The 11th Hour room, use the blue lever once to make it 10
o'clock. Now use the red lever to make it 8 o'clock. Enter The 8th Hour room to
find 'Lever Shaft'. Return to The 11th Hour room, use the blue lever once to
have 11 o'clock, then use the red lever 3 times to have 5 o'clock. Enter The
5th Hour room to find a chest that has 'Craftsman's Ring' inside.

 Return now to The 12th Hour room, use the white lever to return the clock
hands to 6 o'clock, examine the green lever, use the Lever Shaft, and use the
green lever twice...

   <vin> The green lever moves the clock hands by only 5 minutes.

 ... so we have 6:10. Return to The 11th Hour room, use the blue lever twice to
have 12:10. Now run up to The 2nd Hour room and open the chest to find 'Duck
Season'. Return to The 12th Hour room, use the white lever, then use the green
lever once. Return to the Passage of Time room and go NE to The 1st Hour room.

 ~ Strategy: Lacertus Rex... thankfully is not as hard as Noctua Rex nor Jade
Zephyr. Just use True Faith and Pride's Fang to make things a lot
easier/faster. Watch out for his attacks, because they can do a lot of dmg. You
must heal right after he uses Ray III.

 For attacks, he has Physical Attack which does 5~20 dmg. per hit to one
character. Ray III does 200 to one character. Cannon II does 50 dmg. to all
characters while Cannon III does 100 dmg. to the whole party. His special
attack deals around 15~120 dmg. to the whole party.

o~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~o

 Watch the scene as you approach. When you gain control, save your game and go
N to trigger a scene and a fight with no other than with Porcus Rex. He's the
same as before, so take him out...

   <vin> The random enemies in this dungeon are the Beastlords that we
   previously killed. Yes, all of them appear as random battles: Porcus Rex,
   Lupus Rex, Rana Rex, Serpens Rex, Aquila Rex and Elephas Rex. You can run
   from this battle, so if you wanna run from them, I recommend taking Agan
   with his Quip to escape the battles in an instant.

 Watch the scene after the battle and follow the path N to find a portal. Enter
it. Here at the Orange Heart, there are 4 portals. Follow the path W, then N,
then S and enter the SW portal to reach Yellow Genesis. Go all the way to the N
of the area to where the green portal is and before taking that green one, go W
and enter the red one.

 You'll be briefly back at Red Dawn just to grab 'Herculean Ring' from the
chest...

   <vin> One of the best accessories in the game. Increases every attribute
   during battle, so equip it on whoever you prefer [I chose Rhi'a since she's
   my favorite character]

 ... now return to the Yellow Genesis, go all the way N again and take the
green portal to enter Green Harmony. In here, go around the spiral and enter
the middle cyan portal to get to Blue Wisdom. There's a 7-path fork in this
area. Follow the W path and take the green portal. Grab 'Platinum Amulet' from
the chest here in the Green Harmony and return to Blue Wisdom.

 Now follow the S path and take the blue portal to reach Indigo Bonds. In here,
go to the N side of the area and enter the only middle cyan portal to return to
Blue Wisdom and find the last chest of the area that contains 'Warrior's Ring'.
Equip this one right away and return to Indigo Bonds. Locate the 2 portals on
the W side and take the N purple one to Violet Dusk.

 ~ HP: ~14,000

 ~ Items: Cube of Destruction
 ~ Elemental Affinity
  + Weak: None
  + Strong: Fire

 ~ Strategy: Oh boy, he's the real one this time. Make sure that Rhi'a casts
Crystal Voice ASAP, and Taupy True Faith and Pride's Fang. We need all the DEF
and ATK that we can get. Keep yourself healed at all times. Try to keep your HP
full because if he boosts his ATK and you don't have Taupy's True Faith on,
it'll most probably kill you. Kyrie's Gift of Life and Taupy's Second Wind are
a great help keeping your party alive, but if you need to use a Flask of
Wonder, go on ahead and use it.

 As a matter of fact, it's best if you have Taupy cast True Faith and Pride's
Fang every turn, and have Rhi'a cast Crystal Voice.

 Lacertus' attacks. His physical attacks deal 50~70 dmg. to one character. His
special attack deals 70~120 dmg. to the whole party. Azure Sea, Jade Zephyr and
Golden Earth deal the same amount of dmg. (20~60) but of their corresponding
element [Water, Air and Earth]. Divine Arsenal deals 400 dmg. to 1 character.
Watch out for his Jade Zephyr attack, because it can both Poison you and Blind
you, so you won't be able to use skills, which are the most important thing in
this battle.

 He also likes to use Blade Ward, which nullifies physical attacks. What a
pain. Use Blood Skills until it wears off. He can also increase his attack
power, his speed, defense, cast Regen on himself and nullify elemental dmg.
(you'll know which element by the color of his shield), so if he's invulnerable
to elemental attacks and physical attacks, use Cubes of Destruction and Cluster
Bombs to deal non-elemental dmg. to him.

 Return and use the Heal Point if you want to and return to where you gained
control. Go all the way N until you find a green switch. Press it and from this
fork, go all the way E (you'll find an orange switch, but don't press it), go N
from this switch and at the end you'll find the pink switch. Press it and
return to the fork where the green switch is.

 Go W all the way from this fork and you'll come across the yellow switch.
Press it, return to the E side of the area (where the orange switch is) and
follow the NW path all the way to the NW corner to find the blue switch. Press
it, return to the orange switch and press it. Now go N to the next area.

 Here's where the door was blocked. Here in Block 8, simply go N and use the
portal to get to Block 15. Here, take the portal to Block 15. Use the portal at
the N side to get to Block 23. Go to the N end of the area to trigger a scene.
Examine the control panel and return all the way to Block 4 (where we started).

 from here, go W a little bit (where the coffin-things are) and examine the
second one from the top (red one). You'll receive 'Rectangular Module 1'.
Return to the fork and go E and check the red coffin to receive 'Rectangular
Module 2'. Return to the fork in front of the green switch and check the
coffins on both sides (the red ones, remember) to find 'Rectangular Module 3'
and 'Rectangular Module 4'.

 Now that we have all 4 Rectangular Modules, return to Block 23 and insert
them. Now we need to unlock the diamond lock. Return to Block 15 and use the E
portal to get to Block 42. Examine the control panel and once again, return to
Block 4. From the fork, the first coffin S of you is shinning. Check it to find
'Diamond Module 1'.

 Now go to the SE orange switch and go SW a bit to find in the coffins nearby
'Diamond Module 4'. In the same place, but on the W side near the yellow switch
is another coffin with 'Diamond Module 3'. Now go to the S of the green switch
to find the last 'Diamond Module 2'. Now return all the way to Block 42 and use
the Diamond Modules.

 Time to unlock the triangular lock. Return to Block 15 and enter the W portal
to Block 16. Examine the control panel and return all the way to Block 4 one
last time. From the fork, go W towards the blue switch and search the coffins
on the W of the switch to find 'Triangular Module 1'. Now go to the SE orange
switch and look at the coffins N of it to find 'Triangular Module 2'. Return to
the green switch and check the coffins to the S to find 'Triangular Module 3'.

 Return all the way to Block 16, use the Triangular Modules and return to the
previous Block (Block 15). Finally the path to the central portal is open. You
are now in the Core Block. Use the Heal Point at the N end, save your game and

   ~-~  BOSS: THE CREATOR  ~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~

 ~ HP: ~50,000
 ~ Elemental Affinity
  + Weak: None
  + Strong: None

 ~ Strategy: There are 2 final bosses, but the good thing is that this one
isn't that hard. She's "easier" than Lacertus Rex. Yes, I mean that. She
doesn't have that many turns and she doesn't step in every time you attack her,
so make sure you're healed all the time, you have Buffed your ATK and DEF, as
well as having protection against Debuffing.

 Attacks. Deponere deals 60~70 dmg. to the whole party. Ray III deals 200 dmg.
to 1 character. Cannon III deals 100 dmg. to the entire party. Colligite deals
40~60 dmg. to the whole parte. Amittimus is an attack that deals 20~40 dmg. to
the whole party. She can also cast Regen on herself, recovering 1,500+ HP per
turn.

 Overall, this battle is a breeze compared to Lacertus Rex. You'll have no
problems at all. Once you're done with this battle, you'll start the second
round, or should I say, second phase.

        _,-'�\_}\_____________________,-._____________________/{_/�'-._
        �'-._/�}/���������������������'-'���������������������\{�\_,-'�
                               ~ Second Phase ~

 ~ HP: ~30,000

 This phase of The Creator has 3 targets. Two in the upper screen and 1 below.
I really recommend you taking out the flashing orb at the bottom (it should
have like 6,000 HP or so), then focus on the angel-looking target (the upper
one) and finally focus all your strength on the core, the central target. You
should take this battle just like the previous one.

 Keep yourself healed at all time, use 1 BP with whoever's turn it is to heal,
then attack. Keep your ATK and DEF Buffs up, so you can deal a lot of dmg. per
combo and you receive less. Make sure you use at least one Rhi'a's Crystal
Voice to protect you.

 As for attacks -- she has a physical attack that hurts for 10~50 dmg. to all
characters. He has a second physical attack that targets 1 character for 10~30
dmg. She also has the Deponere, Colligite and Amittimus attacks from the
previous phase and they deal the same dmg. so you shouldn't worry about dmg.
that much. He newest and most dangerous attack is Fortuna, which deals 500+
dmg. to one party member, so if he/she is killed, use Gift of Life or Second
Wind to gain your full strength.

   ~-~  BOSS: MORTE -- THE SCARLET PLAGUE  ~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~

 ~ Name: Morte
 ~ HP: ???

 ~ Strategy: Well, this is a hard battle, since it's your first battle in the
whole game. You'll only control Raja for this battle, but as soon as Morte has
a turn, she'll start using All Ahead, Blizzard and whatnot to annihilate your
party. Pretty much like Golden Sun's battle with Saturos and Menardi...
remember?

 It's still possible to defeat her, if she doesn't use all her skills in the
first turn, but you'll only deal 3/4 of her health and the result will be the
same.

the perfect time to use them. Press A to enter the Skill/Item submenu, press A

 ~ HP: 350
 ~ Elemental Affinity
  + Weak: None
  + Strong: None

 ~ Name: Feral Soldier
 ~ HP: 100
 ~ Elemental Affinity
  + Weak: None
  + Strong: None

 ~ Strategy: The Feral Soldiers do little dmg. (around 1-2 dmg. per hit against
Morte). They have 100 HP each so maybe Agan will kill each one in a turn.
Meanwhile, have Morte and Kyrie take care of Rajiv. His attacks do hurt. He can
deal up to 35 dmg. per turn, and that's on Morte.

 He could probably kill Kyrie in one turn. If he does kill him, revive right
away with a Secret Remedy and when Agan finished the Feral Soldiers, have him
attack Rajiv. Use Agan's Desert's Horn to deal over 90 dmg. per hit; and if you
need to heal, use Morte's Life Skill Sanctity of Life or Kyrie's Medicinal
Soup.

 You'll receive at the end of the battle 4,326 Gold and for Items: Lesser
Elixir and Underdog's Tail (note that you get these items randomly).

   ~-~  BOSS: VENOMFIN  ~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~

 ~ HP: ~1,000
 ~ Elemental Affinity
  + Weak: None
  + Strong: None

 ~ Strategy: As Taupy says, this is the Lord of the swamp. Oh goody. This boss
is not that hard, but it's annoying because most of your Physical attacks won't
do any good to it. Instead, have Kyrie use Toadstool Salad all the battle,
Morte her Molotov Cocktail and Taupy his Sonic Strike. Venomfin will go down
rather quickly if your 3 characters are attacking him nonstop with their Blood
Skills.

 If you need to heal, use Kyrie Life Skill to heal the team back to normal.

 ~ HP: 2,500
 ~ CP: 42
 ~ Items: Book of Arms
 ~ Elemental Affinity
  + Weak: Ice
  + Strong: Fire

 ~ Strategy: I hope you've leveled up your Blood Skills, because they'll be
very useful for this battle. Since Ice is what takes most HP, use Taupy's Icy
Strike and Morte's Blizzard. Porcus has a vulnerability against Stun, so use
Kyrie's Numbing Broth to gain a lot of turns for each one of his. Also, it's
very easy to delay Porcus' turns with Taupy's Icy Strike, so keep using it
through the whole battle while you have Kyrie (who should be the most useless
character in this battle) uses Lesser Tonics to keep the SP up.

 Whenever you see that Porcus sits and opens up the mouth in its' stomach, stop
the Skills and start using physical attacks until you break his defense. Keep
using Ice skills and Kyrie to heal to end this battle quickly.

 ~ HP: 950
 ~ Elemental Affinity
  + Weak: Ice
  + Strong: Fire

 ~ Name: Feral Soldier
 ~ HP: ~450
 ~ Elemental Affinity
  + Weak: None
  + Strong: None

 ~ Strategy: This is just a little bit harder than the previous battle against
Rajiv -- and the only reason for that is because he comes with Naja. First of
all, dispose of the Feral Soldier. We don't want anyone to bother us while
battling Naja and Rajiv. Once the Feral Soldier is down, focus yourself in
Rajiv.

 Have Taupy use Icy Strike or Sonic Strike to deal over 190 dmg. to Rajiv. You
can put him to sleep with Kyrie's Sleeproot Saut� Skill. Have Morte follow
Taupy and use Blizzard to deal dmg. to both enemies. Naja's most powerful
attack is Cry Wolf, which deals between 25-40 dmg. to all party members.

 As you can see, this battle is not hard at all. Naja tends to use Cry Wolf
more often when Rajiv is down, so be really careful and use Kyrie's Medicinal
Soup constantly whenever needed.

 You'll receive at the end of the battle 49 CP, 10,605 Gold and for Items: Sage
Glasses.

 ~ HP: 2,650
 ~ CP: 42
 ~ Items: None
 ~ Elemental Affinity
  + Weak: Ice
  + Strong: Fire

 ~ Strategy: Ok, this is getting repetitive. He's a bit tougher this time. He
has Wind III, which is a lot of dmg. It can also knock you into midair and
combo you up there, nearly killing you. He also has a new attack called Combo
Boost II. It's not an attack that hurts you, but when he uses 2, he transforms
into the wolf he is and deals around 60+ dmg. to the entire party. To top it
off, he's fast as ****. Seriously. He may have 2 moves per each one of yours.

 Whenever he uses an attack that hits the hole party, use healing Skills to
completely recover the party. Just keep your party over 70 HP and you'll be
fine.

 ~ Strategy: Oh, we now get to play with pops. Lupus Rex, on his first turn,
he'll probably use Battle Boost II twice to attack all party members for around
65 dmg. He also has Spark III, which is like Rajiv's Aero III. Basically, he's
just like Rajiv, only that with more HP and a little bit stronger, so the same
strategy applies here. He also has Voice of Chains, which attacks all party
members plus it can inflict Stun on all of them, which is a real pain in the
ass.

 ~ HP: ~9,200
 ~ CP: 66
 ~ Items: None
 ~ Elemental Affinity
  + Weak: Earth
  + Strong: Ice

 ~ Strategy: Rana Rex is pretty easy, even though it has a ton of HP -- and
more if you bring Taupy instead of Agan like I did the first time. Yes, Rana
Rex has over 9,000 HP, which almost doubles Lupus Rex's HP. Let me name the
attacks. He has Spark II, which is a strong Air-elemental attack to 1 character
for 34~62 dmg. He has a combo attack for 9 hits (which usually do 1 dmg. per
hit) and can inflict Venom, so cure it ASAP with Antidotes and/or Kyrie's Life
Skill.

 He also has Bad Breath, which deals 35~40 dmg. to all characters, plus it can
inflict Stun to all. Use Kyrie's Medicinal Soup to heal some HP and cure Stun.
Another and most annoying attack, Sleep Gas, which has 100% accuracy to inflict
Sleep on all 3 characters. I hope you have enough HP, because after this
attack, he'll have several turns ahead of you, so he can deal quite the dmg.

 Just like Lupus Rex, he has Battle Boost II, which he'll use his Follow-up
attack to inflict heavy dmg. to all 3 characters (between 50~80 dmg.). Just try
to keep your HP over 80 and you'll be fine. As for spells, do not use them as
they inflict so little dmg. and you should spend it for useful things like
healing.

o Azure Tower

   ~-~  BOSS: AZURE SEA  ~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~

 ~ HP: ~17,000
 ~ CP: 123
 ~ Items: None
 ~ Elemental Affinity
  + Weak: Earth
  + Strong: Water, Air, Fire

 ~ Strategy: Alrighty, we have to targets. Focus on the body first. If you
already have your Flurries chained, Kyrie will be doing over 550 dmg. Have
Morte use Army of Me in the first turn she gets so she can deal massive dmg.
Make sure you bring into the battle Kyrie, Morte and Taupy. We need Taupy's
Second Wind just in case any character dies, Taupy can revive him/her. Don't
even bother inflicting status ailments nor using skills, as most of them as
useless against him.

 For Azure Sea's attacks, he has Bolt of Lightning, which is Air dmg. to one
character that deals 36~120 dmg. He likes to use it twice in a row and on the
same character. What a pain. Purifying Rain, deals 20~30 dmg. to the entire
party. Water III is another pain. It deals 45~63 dmg., so heal up right as you
can.

 After you deal around 6,500 dmg. to the body, he'll go underwater and only
raise the head. He now has more attacks. He has Tempest, which is basically
Bolt of Lightning, only that it hurts all the party. Take extreme caution
fighting only the head, as it has the tendency to attack and attack and attack
the same character over and over until he uses his follow-up attack that deals
50~85 dmg. to all characters.

 He also starts using Healing Boost, which is practically Regen and heals
around 400 each of his turns. What a pain man. Basically, this is an endurance
fight. He heals a lot, and you should too with one of your BP. There's nothing
else I can write for here, other than keep your HP over 120 and you're good.

 ~ HP: ~10,400
 ~ Elemental Affinity
  + Weak: Air
  + Strong: None

 ~ Name: Morte
 ~ HP: ~700
 ~ Elemental Affinity
  + Weak: None
  + Strong: None

 ~ Strategy: This battle can be hard. Not because of her HP, nor the dmg., but
because she can confuse you, killing Morte (most probably). Simply use Flurry
attacks with Rhi'a, Taupy and Kyrie, but do not use Special attacks, since
you'll be attacking Morte too. Whenever you need healing, use whoever you can
to heal up. Whatever you do, DO NOT attack Morte.

 As for attacks, she has Demon's Soul, which deals 35~60 dmg. plus it can
Confuse you. Nice. He also has Shadow III, which deals 30~70 dmg. to a single
character. Temptation deals dmg. to your party, plus it can confuse you too.
She doesn't deal that much dmg. (well, in comparison to Azure Sea), but when
she confuses you, use Kyrie's Medicinal Soup to cure it. Demon Stench deals 50~
70 dmg. to all the party, so heal up afterwards. She has other attacks, but
they're the same and can inflict Confuse, so that's your number 1
preoccupation.

 Taupy's Second Wind comes in real handy. If you have 2 characters dead (I had
Rhi'a and Kyrie dead and Taupy with 3HP o_O), use it to gain full strength and
beat the crap out of Serpens Rex. She also has an attack in which physical
attacks won't hurt her, so use Air-elemental Blood Skills to take her out.

 You'll receive at the end of the battle 86 CP, 17,359 Gold and for Items:
None.

 ~ HP: ~3,800
 ~ CP: 140
 ~ Items: None
 ~ Elemental Affinity
  + Weak: Earth
  + Strong: Air

 ~ Strategy: Aquila Rex is actually quite hard, since you only have Morte and
Kyrie for battle. He's in the air, so no combos from your Flurries. Dammit.
Kyrie should easily get to 6 BP in every turn. Just use your Air Flurry with
him to deal 250+ dmg. per Air Flurry, so with 4 you do in 1 turn takes around
1/4 of his health. The physical attacks deal around 0~1 dmg. to Kyrie.
Seriously. His other attacks deal around 50 dmg. His special attack deals
between 0~5 dmg.

 If Morte dies on you, don't even worry on reviving her. She has low DEF and
Aquila Rex likes to attack her whether she has War Paint on or not. If you
want, you could try to use a Stoneskin Potion to increase Morte's DEF, but if
she keeps dying, just let her dead.

 As for attacks, he has Godspeed, which increases drastically his SPD. Feather
Shot deals around 45~55 dmg. to one character. Wind III does 50~65 dmg. to one
character. Storm II does 15~20 dmg. to both characters. Like all bosses, he has
Battle Boost II, which is a pain.

 ~ HP: ~7,500

 ~ Items: Golden Shard
 ~ Elemental Affinity
  + Weak: Air
  + Strong: Earth

 ~ Strategy: This Boss is not that hard. His Rock II Skill deals 15~25 dmg. to
all characters. What you should be worried about is its physical attack that
deals 120~150 per hit and he likes to use it twice in a row in the same
character -- that means almost always if not always a KO. Taupy's Second Wind
works wonders in this battle.

 That's about it. This boss really doesn't do much.

 ~ HP: ~15,500

  + Weak: Air

 ~ Strategy: Ok, the second Primal Lord. He's not as though as Azure Sea, but
he's still not an enemy to underestimate. I really recommend bringing Rhi'a and
Taupy in this battle. Taupy, besides being an excellent physical attacker, he
has Second Wind and that saves us from using items and ending out turns. Rhi'a,
if you have her 3 Flurry attacks chained, and Blaze Gun, you'll be dealing
2,700+ dmg. per attack.

 As of its attacks, he has Clay III, which deals 50~80 dmg. to one character.
His physical attack deals around 70 dmg. which is not bad. Rock II deals around
30 dmg. per character. Try to heal every turn, since we want out HP high. His
special attack is the dangerous one. It can deal all the way from 80 dmg. to a
whopping 215 dmg. Make sure to heal after this. These are all of his attacks,
and he likes to combo 2 or 3 Clay III on one character in the same turn, so
please keep your HP up.

 When he's almost dead (around 14,000 dmg.), he'll gain Untiring Defense, which
makes your attacks hit for 5~10 per hit. That sucks. Just keep attacking and
healing until it dissipates or he dies.

 ~ Strategy: Ok, this is a joke of a boss. Your attacks deal 1,000+ dmg. That
means like 2,500+ dmg. per turn. Yes. 2-3 turns and he's dead.

 As for attacks, his physical attacks deal around 10~20 dmg. per hit. Outcry

 ~ Strategy: I recommend bringing Taupy and Rhi'a to this battle. We need all
the muscle we can get and Naja and Agan are weak... very weak. You must be
quick and accurate in this battle. There's one move that Elephas Rex has where
he puts up a shield where you practically do nothing to him (around 0~9 dmg.
per hit). Just keep attacking and healing until it dissipates.

 The good thing is that he doesn't have a ton of turns like the previous
bosses. His physical attack deals 40~70 dmg. per hit. He has Clay III, which
deals 45~60 dmg. to one character. He has Grand Guise, which adds DEF and Regen
that heals for 400+. Just like Azure Sea... what a pain! His Special Attack
deals 80~120 dmg. to all characters.

 ~ HP: ~12,000
 ~ CP: 116
 ~ Items: Book of Mind
 ~ Elemental Affinity
  + Weak: None
  + Strong: None

 ~ Strategy: Ok, this boss is hard if you don't prepare yourself. Make sure to
equip Rhi'a and Taupy an accessory to increase AGL: Sonic Heels, Speed Shoes or
Sirius Shoes (although it has a broken heart) so they get the first turns. In
her first turn, have her use Crystal Voice to cancel his damn uppercuts that is
an Air Follow-up combo plus leaves him in the air. If you have 3 BP, use
another one to use Alluring Voice to cast Regen. Now use the last BP to attack.

 Probably Noctua Rex will have a turn at this point. Now, if Taupy is next,
have him use both True Faith and Pride's Fang to increase ATK and DEF of the
party. With this, we are now prepared to battle.

 Note that all dmg. calculations will be based on your party having True Faith
on. For his attacks, he has his physical attacks that deal now around 10~15
dmg. per hit [it used to hit for 30~45 per hit. and it was almost a KO]. He
also has Nightmare which deals 15~30 dmg. to all characters. The rest of his
attacks deal around 30 dmg. max to either 1 or all characters.

 With what you did in the beginning of the battle, you made the battle a lot
more easier. You won't have a problem with this battle. Just keep using Rhi'a's
Crystal Voice every 2-3 turns just to be sure.

 ~ HP: ~12,000

 ~ Strategy: Start of like you did with Noctua Rex. Use Rhi'a's Crystal Voice
to put Debuff Ward and have Taupy use True Faith and Pride's Fang. Jade Zephyr
will now be airborne. You need to attack her at least 10 times to dissipate her
shield and do some good dmg.

 Her attacks. Her physical attack does 20~25 dmg. per hit... and she hits you
17 times! That's around 360 dmg. WTF!!! Lulling Zephyr does little dmg., around
5 dmg. to all characters, but it can put you to sleep, so that's no good at
all. Ill Wind does random dmg. It can do from 50 dmg. all the way to 379 dmg.
(yeah, my Kyrie received that amount of dmg.) But that's not the worse part.
When she uses Ill Wind, her wind shield goes back up, so yeah, that's not good
at all.

 Netherworld is another of her attacks. It deals 35~50 dmg. to one character.

 ~ Strategy: Lacertus Rex... thankfully is not as hard as Noctua Rex nor Jade
Zephyr. Just use True Faith and Pride's Fang to make things a lot
easier/faster. Watch out for his attacks, because they can do a lot of dmg. You
must heal right after he uses Ray III.

 For attacks, he has Physical Attack which does 5~20 dmg. per hit to one
character. Ray III does 200 to one character. Cannon II does 50 dmg. to all
characters while Cannon III does 100 dmg. to the whole party. His special
attack deals around 15~120 dmg. to the whole party.

 ~ HP: ~14,000
 ~ CP: 136
 ~ Items: Cube of Destruction
 ~ Elemental Affinity
  + Weak: None
  + Strong: Fire

 ~ Strategy: Oh boy, he's the real one this time. Make sure that Rhi'a casts
Crystal Voice ASAP, and Taupy True Faith and Pride's Fang. We need all the DEF
and ATK that we can get. Keep yourself healed at all times. Try to keep your HP
full because if he boosts his ATK and you don't have Taupy's True Faith on,
it'll most probably kill you. Kyrie's Gift of Life and Taupy's Second Wind are
a great help keeping your party alive, but if you need to use a Flask of
Wonder, go on ahead and use it.

 As a matter of fact, it's best if you have Taupy cast True Faith and Pride's
Fang every turn, and have Rhi'a cast Crystal Voice.

 Lacertus' attacks. His physical attacks deal 50~70 dmg. to one character. His
special attack deals 70~120 dmg. to the whole party. Azure Sea, Jade Zephyr and
Golden Earth deal the same amount of dmg. (20~60) but of their corresponding
element [Water, Air and Earth]. Divine Arsenal deals 400 dmg. to 1 character.
Watch out for his Jade Zephyr attack, because it can both Poison you and Blind
you, so you won't be able to use skills, which are the most important thing in
this battle.

 He also likes to use Blade Ward, which nullifies physical attacks. What a
pain. Use Blood Skills until it wears off. He can also increase his attack
power, his speed, defense, cast Regen on himself and nullify elemental dmg.
(you'll know which element by the color of his shield), so if he's invulnerable
to elemental attacks and physical attacks, use Cubes of Destruction and Cluster
Bombs to deal non-elemental dmg. to him.

   ~-~  BOSS: THE CREATOR  ~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~

 ~ HP: ~50,000
 ~ Elemental Affinity
  + Weak: None
  + Strong: None

 ~ Strategy: There are 2 final bosses, but the good thing is that this one
isn't that hard. She's "easier" than Lacertus Rex. Yes, I mean that. She
doesn't have that many turns and she doesn't step in every time you attack her,
so make sure you're healed all the time, you have Buffed your ATK and DEF, as
well as having protection against Debuffing.

 Attacks. Deponere deals 60~70 dmg. to the whole party. Ray III deals 200 dmg.
to 1 character. Cannon III deals 100 dmg. to the entire party. Colligite deals
40~60 dmg. to the whole parte. Amittimus is an attack that deals 20~40 dmg. to
the whole party. She can also cast Regen on herself, recovering 1,500+ HP per
turn.

 Overall, this battle is a breeze compared to Lacertus Rex. You'll have no
problems at all. Once you're done with this battle, you'll start the second
round, or should I say, second phase.

                               ~ Second Phase ~

 ~ HP: ~30,000

 This phase of The Creator has 3 targets. Two in the upper screen and 1 below.
I really recommend you taking out the flashing orb at the bottom (it should
have like 6,000 HP or so), then focus on the angel-looking target (the upper
one) and finally focus all your strength on the core, the central target. You
should take this battle just like the previous one.

 Keep yourself healed at all time, use 1 BP with whoever's turn it is to heal,
then attack. Keep your ATK and DEF Buffs up, so you can deal a lot of dmg. per
combo and you receive less. Make sure you use at least one Rhi'a's Crystal
Voice to protect you.

 As for attacks -- she has a physical attack that hurts for 10~50 dmg. to all
characters. He has a second physical attack that targets 1 character for 10~30
dmg. She also has the Deponere, Colligite and Amittimus attacks from the
previous phase and they deal the same dmg. so you shouldn't worry about dmg.
that much. He newest and most dangerous attack is Fortuna, which deals 500+
dmg. to one party member, so if he/she is killed, use Gift of Life or Second
Wind to gain your full strength.

 This section of the guide is dedicated to the best armors and weapons for all
6 characters. I'll separate all the characters by subsections. Within each
subsection, I'll add both how to get the best armor and weapon for that
specific character. Note that once the Primal Cataract appears, all the
sidequests become available, even though you can START some from nearly the

do have to fight one Boss during these sidequests.

 Once the Primal Cataract appears, head to the Summer Isle and move on to Lyse.
A little scene triggers as you enter and now you have to reenter the Tower of
Light, so follow carefully. Return to the Temple from the entrance where you
regained control after the scene (second from left to right).

 Follow the path completely until you get to the next area. Keep following the
path and at the S/E fork, go S on to the next area. Move forward and at the
fork, go SW through the gate on to the next area. Follow the path, go through
the gate and at the fork, go SW to the next area. Follow the path and at the
next fork, ****** go N and at the next one, go S to reach the entrance of the
Temple.

 Go W from the fork and use the recently activated portal. You'll now get to
the dark part of the Tower of Light -- the Tower of Shadow. After the scene, go
E to the fork and go N to find a switch. Activate it, go all the way S and
deactivate the switch down here. Now go S and approach the S portal to trigger
a scene. Once it's over, use the portal to get to the second floor.

 Go S to find a chest with 'Utility Belt' inside. Now go N and fall down the
red hole in the ground. Follow the path, go W at the first fork and deactivate
the NW switch. Now return to the N/S fork (just after you fell), go S and use
the portal. Down here, use the Heal Point and enter any of the 3 portals to get
to the next area and take out...

 ~ HP: ~12,000

  + Strong: Fire

 ~ Strategy: Compared to other battles, this one isn't that tough. Buff up your
ATK and DEF as always and keep your HP up. If you're using Rhi'a, use her
Crystal Voice to protect against Aurora's Bind.

 Since he's the same as Kyrie, he has all of his attacks. His physical attack
deals 35~50 dmg. to one character per hit. Aurora deals 80~120 dmg. to all
characters plus it can inflict bind. Mors Certa deals 45~65 dmg. to one
character. He also has Kyrie's Shining Spike Special Attack, which deals 100~
120 dmg.

==-------======-------====-=-====---=====---===========----====-=======---=====

 Watch the scene after the battle and you'll receive Kyrie's 'Destruct Blade'
-- best weapon for him. Also, he learns a new Quip, so that's good.

 This one is fast and simple. Before entering the Primal Cataract, go to
Mirrorsand Grotto and from there, go S to Barni. A scene triggers here and
Kyrie will obtain his best armor in the game. You'll obtain 'Crimson Robe' or
'Crimson Gear'...

   <vin> If you came here before Kyrie was killed by Naja, you must have gotten
   the Legendary Apron. If you did, you'll obtain Crimson Gear, which is the
   best. If you didn't, you'll get Crimson Robe. Both are awesome either way.

 ... also, Kyrie learns a new Quip.

 Once the Primal Cataract appears, go to Agi Wharfs. You'll trigger a scene
with Felis Rex. He wants something called an Divine Ear Pick, which is at the
bottom of the Azure Tower. You'll be directed to Viteau automatically.

 After the little scene, go to the W side and talk to the man with the boat. A
scene will trigger as you approach him. Pay him 10,000 G, have him take you to
the Base of the Azure Tower and go inside.

   <vin> Inside, the Roving Swordsman enemy drops the Innocence Broadsword for
   Morte, as well as Solid Suit -- while the Blacksteel Spear enemy drops
   Beastlord's Secret. Both are really good items and I recommend grabbing some
   to sell and keep for yourself to spare.

 In here, go up the ladder on the E and grab 'Tome of Mastery x5' from the
chest up here. Return to the entrance and go up the ladder on the W. Press the
red switch up here to drain some of the water on the 1st floor. Return
downstairs, save your game, go E and go down into the pit where the water used
to be. A little scene will trigger down here with all the chests.

 During the scene, you'll have to take care of 3 Tarnished Lions. They're a bit
tougher than the Roving Swordsman, and during 1 of your turns, they should go
down. They have like ~3,500 each one, so that's nothing you can't handle,
right? ;) Just make sure to take down the male Tarnished Lions before they use
Total Boost and kick your ass.

 Now open all the chests to get your loot. Now locate the N ladder and follow
it up. Press the red switch to drain the other half of the water. Return
downstairs, go W, save your game and go down the stairs to find more Tarnished
Lions -- also, Kyrie learns a new Quip. Now go up the W middle ladder and up
here, move W to trigger a scene, Morte learns a new Quip and you'll have to
fight more Tarnished Lions.

 The scene continues after the fight and you'll obtain 'Divine Ear Pick'.
You'll return automatically to Agi Wharfs and give Meow the item. He'll then
hand over 'Infini' -- Morte's best weapon.

 To get Morte's best armor, you have to talk to a lady dressed in red 4 times
throughout the world to get a armor and upgrade it. Here's the list of the
locations:

1. When you first enter Viteau (when you defeat Porcus Rex), go to the Floating
Garden and talk to the woman in red and she'll take Pastel Suit from you and
she'll give you 'Eye-popping Blouse'.

2. When you go to Viteau to enter the Azure Tower, go to the Noble Quarter, go
W up the stairs and then go W at the fork and talk to the woman in red that's
in the corner to have her take the Eye-popping Blouse from you and she'll give
you 'Vivid Shirt'.

3. When Primal Cataract appears, return to Lyse and go in the Temple from the
second entrance from left to right. Now follow these instructions:

 Follow the path completely until you get to the next area. Keep following the
path and at the S/E fork, go S on to the next area. Move forward and at the
fork, go SW through the gate on to the next area. Follow the path, go through
the gate and at the fork, go SW to the next area. Follow the path and at the
next fork, you'll find the woman in red. Talk to her and she'll remove Vivid
Shirt form the inventory and you'll obtain 'Spangled Dress'. Also, Morte learns
a new Quip.

4. Return to where the second woman was (outside the Azure Sea) and talk to
her. She'll remove Spangled Dress from your inventory and you'll receive 'See-
through Dress'.

 During the last event, Agan learns a new Quip, as well as Morte.

 While you do Taupy's best weapon sidequest, you obtain his best armor while
you do it, but heed my words, you can miss the best armor and lose it forever!

 After you finish Morte's sidequests, return to Viteau to trigger a little
scene where Rhi'a and Naja want to meet Muffy, Taupy's girl. When you regain
control, return to Taupy's house (NE corner of the Shopping Arcade) to trigger
another scene. Taupy learns a new Quip as he exits his house. Now it's time to
take care of 3 Bounty Hunters.

 Start of by going to Winter Isle and enter the N side of Garragis Wastes...

   <vin> The Bounty Hunter random enemy in this area drop Hexor's Wigs and
   Danger Sensors, so grab some while you're here.

 ... grab all the chests you find in this area and when you get to a W/E fork
(near the center of the area), go W and before getting to the end, save your
game and proceed. You'll meet up with Black Death. He only has around ~4,000
HP, so heal and Buff DEF with the first 2 BP, and then combo him to death...

   <vin> This is why I told you to save. Black Death is the only of the 3
   Bounty Hunters that drop Taupy's best armor, Victory Bandana. If you didn't
   receive it, reset and repeat. Try equipping Cat's Paw to improve your
   chances of getting it.

 After the battle, he'll give you 'Onyx Gloves'. Now move to Autumn Isle and
enter Tanner Plateau from the S side. Go N 2 forks and at the 4-way fork, go
all the way W until you get to the N/S fork on the W side of the Plateau. Here,
save your game and go N to trigger a scene with Brown Bullet. He has less HP
than Black Death, but Buff your ATK so you can really deal dmg. Otherwise,
you'll deal around 15~20 dmg. per hit.

 He'll give you 'Tan Gloves' at the end of the battle. Now go to Summer Isle
and enter Albion Greenwood from the W side. Simply follow the path and at the
SW area (where you fought Elephas Rex), another scene will trigger and you'll
have to fight Rogue Destroyer. Even though he's red and cool looking, he's the
same as the previous ones, only that he has Regen on.

 After the fight, you'll receive 'Crimson Gloves'. During the scene towards
Sphir Meadows, Taupy learns another Quip. Once here, follow the path until you
get to the bridge. A scene with a lot of kisses trigger as you get here plus
Rhi'a learns a new Quip. At the end, Taupy receives 'Friend's Gloves' -- his
best weapon.


  A R M O R
�������������
 To get Taupy's best armor, you get it through his weapon sidequest. You steal
his best armor -- Victory Bandana from the first Bounty Hunter you have to deal
with, Black Death. If you don't get it from this battle, reset and fight him
over and over until you get them. If you pass this opportunity, you'll miss
them forever.

 For more info on where to find Black Death, read the above section.

 When the Primal Cataract appears, go to Bacchitav Caravan to trigger a scene.
Afterwards, go NW and enter the Chief's Cabana to trigger another scene. Take
the test and we need to get a Kingwhale Bone from the Boneyard. Once you're
here, go N and examine the blue bones here until you find 'Rabbit Season'. Once
you get this, Agan learns a new Quip.

 Now go to the NE corner of the island and examine the blue bones here. You'll
get 'Yellow Ore' and '10G' from here. After you get some items from here,
you'll get in a battle with Dark Crown. It has like ~3,000 HP, so it shouldn't
pose a problem at all. You'll learn a new Quip after the battle. You'll also
obtain 'Kingwhale Bone'.

 Afterwards, you'll return to the Chief and the party and Agan will obtain
'Ganza Whip' -- Agan's best weapon.

 For Agan's best armor, you have to buy 3 pieces of armor for Agan from the
Armorer in Viteau. Note that once the Primal Cataract appears, you can buy all
3 coats.

1. Fine Tailored Coat: after the event in Sky Gaol (after killing Lupus Rex),
go to Viteau's Armorer to buy the Fine Tailored Coat for 10,000G.

2. Keen Tailored Coat: after your second trip to Botanical Gardens (after
killing Rana Rex), go back to Viteau's Armorer to buy Keen Tailored Coat for
20,000G.

3. Nice Tailored Coat: after the Tower of Light, go back to Viteau's Armorer to
buy Nice Tailored Coat for 40,000G.

 Now, to get the best armor, you must have bought these 3 coats and you need to
have Ganza Whip, his best weapon. Once you've met these requirements, go to
Viteau's Armorer and in here, a scene triggers, Agan learns a new Quip and
he'll get 'Dust of Venus'

 Once the Primal Cataract appears, go to the Valley of Dragons in Winter Isle
to trigger a scene. Once it's over, go over to the Crevasse. Save your game and
follow the path to trigger a little scene and a fight with Chaos Elder will
begin. He's no different from the normal enemies (he's like the Tarnished Lions
from Morte's sidequest).

 Now follow the path until you reach the Tower of Wind. From the entrance,
follow the NW path and go up the stairs at the end. Follow the path all the way
to the 4th floor and at this fork, go W and use the blue portal. Here, press
the red switch and use the portal to the N (the purple one).

 On the other side, press the red switch, open the chest to the SW to find
'Phoenix Feather'. Now use the green portal, press the red switch to the NW and
grab 'Swift Garter' from the chest to the SW. Return now to the fork in the
beginning of the floor and use the red portal. Use the Heal Point and go N to
trigger a scene and a battle with Eru Ancient. He only has like ~10,000 HP, so
1 or 2 turns of yours (Kyrie's and Rhi'a's) and he'll go down.

 Watch the scene at the end and Rhi'a will obtain 'Omega', her best weapon.

 This is one of the easiest armors to get in the game. Throughout the game,
come to Agi Wharfs and you'll trigger a scene with a member of Meow's crew.
When the Primal Cataract appears, you can do all. Enter and leave every time
you get an armor until you get the best armor -- 'Maid's Dress'. Also, Rhi'a
learns a new Quip during the last scene, and Taupy learns one as well. You'll
also get 'Muffy Costume'.

 After the Primal Cataract appears, go to Autumn Isle and enter Mechto. A scene
triggers as you enter. Now go to the Tower of Earth and another scene triggers
inside. Go up the stairs and follow the path until another scene triggers, but
now with some Feral Ops. Take out the top one first because he likes to use
Voice of Chains that stuns your party. If they use Total Boost, try using
Naja's Cleansing Cry to remove their Buffs.

 Keep following the path and another scene will trigger. Take care of them, go
to the N side of the room and drop down the hole. From these 2 holes, drop down
the W one and approach the NE chest to trigger a scene and another fight, with
3 Feral Ops this time. After the battle, Naja learns a new Quip and the best
thing, you'll receive his best weapon, the 'Silverwolf Fang'.

 After the previous sidequest, simply try leaving Mechto to receive his best
armor, the 'Wolf King's Garb'.
