Contact Info/Legal Jazz..............................................LUN12 ============================================================================== 01..............................INTRODUCTION.............................LUN01 ============================================================================== It all started in year 1992, the year when the Lunar saga began. Lunar: The Silver Star was a role-playing video game developed by Game Arts and Studio Alex for the Sega CD console. Originally released in Japan on June 16, 1992 to critical acclaim, the game was translated and released in English by Working Designs the following year. The game centers on the exploits of Alex, a young boy from a small town who dreams of one day becoming a great hero like his idol, Dragonmaster Dyne. When a childish adventure later turns to discovering an ancient dragon, Alex and his friends must journey across the world to gather the necessary power to become the next Dragonmaster, and save the world in the process. Since the game's original release, three enhanced remakes have been produced for various systems: Lunar: Silver Star Story Complete in 1996, Lunar Legend in 2002, and this game, Lunar: Silver Star Harmony in 2009. The SSH remake was released on March 2, 2010 in United States. The game was featured in a recent copy of the Japanese game magazine Famitsu, with a two-page spread highlighting some of the upgrades the game will feature. Along with a new isometric view, the game will also feature a hand- drawn style for the characters and backgrounds, a talking lead character (Alex), as well as new music and an expanded story. At release, a limited edition of the game is also available, including a soundtrack CD and full set of bromides featuring the female characters. ============================================================================== 02..............................CHARACTER INFO...........................LUN02 ============================================================================== Lunar: Silver Star Harmony has a large set of characters that will join Alex at certain points in the game. This little part of the guide lists all the major characters that play the biggest roles in the game's story. ALEX ---- Age: 15 Height: 5'6'' Weight: 115 lbs Background: Alex dreams of one day becoming a Dragonmaster like his hero, Dyne. But in order to fulfill his dream, he must leave all that he holds dear, including his sweetheart Luna. Much more is in store for him than he realizes. Hopefully he'll live long enough to tell about it! .---------------------------------. |STATISTICS (Level 1) | |---------------------------------| |HP: 32 WIS: 18 | |MP: 10 RES: 15 | |STR: 20 RNG: 12 | |DEF: 21 LUK: 18 | |AGL: 14 #ATK: 1 | '---------------------------------' LUNA ---- Age: 15 Height: 5'5'' Weight: 106 lbs Background: Alex's parents have taken care of Luna since she was a child. She is Alex's childhood sweetheart, though she'll never admit it. No one can match the power of her magical songs. Like most adolescents her age she has a lot of unanswered questions about herself. And they're about to be answered...soon! .---------------------------------. |STATISTICS (Level 1) | |---------------------------------| |HP: 24 WIS: 30 | |MP: 40 RES: 26 | |STR: 15 RNG: 10 | |DEF: 18 LUK: 16 | |AGL: 16 #ATK: 1 | '---------------------------------' NALL ---- Age: Unknown Height: 11'' Weight: 9 lbs Background: When Alex was a child, a mysterious man gave his father this weird catlike creature that unfortunately grew up with a bad attitude. He tends to get Alex into a lot of trouble by smarting off at the wrong time. But he'll get what's coming to him sooner or later! RAMUS ----- Age: 17 Height: 5'6'' Weight: 183 lbs Background: Ramus is the son of the village elder in Burg, and Alex's friend. He hopes that Alex will one day get over his fascination with Dragonmaster Dyne. His one ambition in life is to become filthy rich. He wants it all: fast horses, expensive food and beautiful women. His craving for fame (and for Dragon Diamonds, of course!) basically starts Alex's adventure. .---------------------------------. |STATISTICS (Level 1) | |---------------------------------| |HP: 42 WIS: 18 | |MP: 0 RES: 23 | |STR: 36 RNG: 10 | |DEF: 25 LUK: 24 | |AGL: 14 #ATK: 1 | '---------------------------------' NASH ---- Age: 17 Height: 5'7'' Weight: 126 lbs Background: This extremely overconfident magician apprentice is an understudy to the powerful magician Ghaleon, of Vane. If he isn't studying for his latest exam at the academy, he can be found trying to impress Mia, the woman of his dreams. Too bad isn't as successful at trying to win Mia's heart as he is with magic. .---------------------------------. |STATISTICS (Level 10) | |---------------------------------| |HP: 60 WIS: 39 | |MP: 65 RES: 39 | |STR: 27 RNG: 10 | |DEF: 26 LUK: 9 | |AGL: 40 #ATK: 1 | '---------------------------------' JESSICA ------- Age: 16 Height: 5'7'' Weight: 11 lbs Background: Jessica is the daughter of Master Mel, who is one of the legendary Four Heroes, and current governor of Meribia. As an apprentice to a shaman, she has especially strong healing power. Do not let the sweetness that she displays around her father fool you; she's a very brave and independent woman. .---------------------------------. |STATISTICS (Level 16) | |---------------------------------| |HP: 87 WIS: 45 | |MP: 85 RES: 40 | |STR: 53 RNG: 13 | |DEF: 35 LUK: 15 | |AGL: 43 #ATK: 1 | '---------------------------------' MIA --- Age: 16 Height: 5'4'' Weight: 99 lbs Background: Mia is the daughter of Lemia, one of the Four Heroes, and leader of the city of Vane. Lemia has protected Mia from the outside world so much that she oblivious to the joys and hardships found in the world below. Despite her mild nature she is actually a very powerful magician. But if she could learn one magic trick, it would be making Nash disappear. .---------------------------------. |STATISTICS (Level 17) | |---------------------------------| |HP: 83 WIS: 59 | |MP: 135 RES: 53 | |STR: 34 RNG: 9 | |DEF: 34 LUK: 14 | |AGL: 33 #ATK: 1 | '---------------------------------' KYLE ---- Age: 20 Height: 5'10'' Weight: 166 lbs Background: After winning the approval of Master Mel of Meribia, Kyle was put in charge of protecting the Nanza Barrier. Despite his rather young age he is a master swordsman and well respected by his loyal followers. He can't help but find himself attracted to Jessica even though she can't stand his massive ego. .---------------------------------. |STATISTICS (Level 19) | |---------------------------------| |HP: 117 WIS: 44 | |MP: 53 RES: 31 | |STR: 60 RNG: 16 | |DEF: 40 LUK: 16 | |AGL: 42 #ATK: 2 | '---------------------------------' ============================================================================== 03................................CONTROLS...............................LUN03 ============================================================================== _____________________________________________________________ ,' L ,' `.

However, this "traditional" battle system has some specific features that you won't find in just any other similar RPG. The closest would be the Legend of Heroes Trilogy on PSP, IMO (in terms of battling, of course). After you've attacked the enemies with, say a melee attack, your character will not move back to his or her original position. If the target enemy is far away, your character might not even be able to attack in one turn at all. Same goes for your enemies - if they're too far, they won't be able to reach you in one turn. It is wise to deal with faraway enemies using magic attacks - that's what the magic casters in this game are for. The area of the possible movement of your characters is determined by their RNG (Range) stat. The higher it is, the farther you'll be able to move. The turn order is based on the participants' speed. As you level up, you may find out that you'll be getting your turn before the enemies can act, thus giving you slight advantage. Your characters will sometimes deal critical hits to the enemy. You'll notice this because of largely increased damage digit represented in sparking red. The enemies get knocked back when you score a critical hit. When an enemy is hit with an element/attack he is weak to, the damage digit will represented in yellow. You can also increase the number of attacks you perform per turn. This is a very handy addition to your arsenal. Do not forget to heal your characters when they're low on HP, because they die when their HP reaches 0. You can heal them by using items from the menu, or by casting healing magic that characters like Luna possess. If they fall in battle, use reviving items/magic. Do it ASAP to ensure that you won't lose the battle if your character die one by one. Your characters get fully healed when they get a level up. There are also magic skills that characters can use to exploit enemy's weaknesses and deal increased damage. Skills expend MP, which is restored by using MP-replenishing items. You can also increase your defense significantly for one turn, if you choose to "Defend" from the battle menu. However, your character won't be able to act during this turn. This option may be a life-saver when trying to survive multi-hit attacks or spells. You can also leave all your troubles to AI by selecting "Party AI" or "Single AI" options. That way, your characters will act by themselves, without your help. However, they do not always act clever, so you'll want to apply this only in rare cases, for grinding purposes, for example. Remember that you can customize your characters' "behaviour" from the "Tactics" menu which is found in the battle menu. Nall's flying around the battlefield is not pointless, actually. He randomly heals you, and even revives fallen characters in the middle of the battle. But you shouldn't always rely on him, IMO. After the battle ends, he also revives fallen characters (so that you won't lose any EXP for that character) and clears any negative status effects your party members may have. Post-battle reviving/status-lifting works 100% of the time. Lastly, you can run away from the battle by selecting the "Flee All" or "Flee" option. Your characters will escape, and you won't gain any experience or money from that battle. Sometimes it will take more than one turn to escape successfully. Note that you can't run away from bosses.

============================================================================== IN PROGRESS... ============================================================================== 09.............................THE WALKTHROUGH...........................LUN09 ============================================================================== This walkthrough is spoiler-free for the most part. I will not reveal any critical plot points, twists, etc. The only two things that WILL BE listed are boss and location names. --- Note that you can obtain a handy weapon very early in the game if you load the previously cleared Lunar: SSH Demo data. If you want to load the Demo Clear data (assuming you have it on your Memory Card), you'll need to cancel the system data creation when prompted. At least, that's how it worked for me. --- The game starts in an underwater "fortress", Leviathan. After a bit of talking you'll fight the 'owner' of the fortress. You can't lose this battle, and all of your characters are level 99. Just select "Party AI" each turn and you'll win. After the boss is defeated, some more talking will follow. You'll get dragged into another battle. Now you'll fight the big baddie and its minions. It's impossible to lose here, too, because your team members will be healed/ revived with max HP at the end of each turn. So, "Party AI" each turn. Another scene. The actual game begins here. After a little talk with Nall and Ramus, you'll finally be in control of Alex, the main character. Go south to enter the Burg village. Go across the bridge to the next screen. Alex and Nall will hear a voice coming from the spring. Apparently, it's Luna's voice. You can save your game now from the main menu. But before proceeding with the storyline, let's do some treasure hunting first. Go back to the previous area. ______ (, / ) /---( ) / ____) .-(_/ ( URG-------------------------------------------------------WAL01--. |----------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Items | Enemies | |--------------------------------------|-------------------------------------| | | | | � Healing Herb x4 | N/A | | � Antidote x2 | | | � Knife | | | � Sling* | | | � Silver Darts** | | | � Flame Ring | | | � Warp Wing | | | � Star Light | | | � Angel's Tear | | | | | '----------------------------------------------------------------------------' * - That's what Alex's father will give you if you didn't load the Demo Clear data. ** - You get this weapon if you've loaded the Demo Clear data at the start of your adventure. There is a [HEALING HERB] in front of Alex's house, and two chests with two [ANTIDOTES] near the watermill. After getting the goodies, cross the bridge again to get to the next screen. Grab another [HEALING HERB] from the chest to your left. Go down a bit to see the statue of Althena (you can heal yourself by touching it) and open the chest near it for a [HEALING HERB]. There's also a locked chest in a northern house, but we can't open it yet. Check the shop northeast of the statue. Since we have no money at this point, exit the shop and go east for a scene. Luna will join the party. Now go into Alex's house and talk to his dad. He'll give you [KNIFE], [SLING] and [FLAME RING]. You will obtain [SILVER DARTS] instead of the Sling if you did what I told you to do in the beginning of the walkthrough. Equip the Flame Ring on Alex and Silver Darts/Sling on Luna. Now go downstairs and open the chests for [WARP RING], [HEALING HERB], [STAR LIGHT] and [ANGEL'S TEAR]. Exit the house and go south until you see Ramus standing near the west exit. Talk to him and he'll join you. Now you can leave Burg via the west exit. On the world map, select "White Dragon Cave" and enter it (we can't explore Ghoto Woods yet). __ __) (, ) | / | /| / |/ |/ .---/ | HITE DRAGON CAVE---------------------------------------------WAL02--. |----------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Items | Enemies | |----------------------------------------|-----------------------------------| | | | | � Healing Herb x4 | � Slime | | � Star Light | � Death Fly | | � Dragon Ring | � Snowquatch | | � Dragon Diamond | � Ice Comet | | | | '----------------------------------------------------------------------------' After the little scene, go south deeper into the cave.

After getting the herbs, go down and head left, killing the enemies on your way. Pick up another [HEALING HERB] from the chest which is blocked by a Snowquatch. Go left. At this screen you will find yet another [HEALING HERB] in a chest. Go a bit left and up the stairway. The Ice Comets in this area are pretty annoying, as they tend to evade your hits a lot. Proceed north for a scene. Quark will give you a task, as well as heal you. Nice. Now let's go back south. This time you'll see that the path to the left is open. Take it. In the next area, there are only those Snowquatches running around, so either slip past them, or fight them. Your choice. Lure one of them at you to make him crash into the ice pillars and clear a path for you to a chest with [STAR LIGHT]. Proceed north to the last area of this small dungeon. Make one of the Snowquatches crash into the ice pillar (like you did in the previous room), and get to the chest with [DRAGON RING]. Go all the way back to Quark's place. He'll give you [DRAGON DIAMOND] as a reward. Now we have some dragon poop, woohoo! Go down, right and up at the fork to reach the entrance of this dungeon. You can now return to Burg. My party was at level 6 when I left the cave. Enter Burg and heal yourself by touching the statue of Althena. Head into the shop and have a conversation with the shopkeeper. After doing that, head back towards Alex's house. During the scene there, you'll need to choose the answer that's "supposed" to have an impact on your future, but you can pick whichever option you like - they both lead to the same conclusion. Exit Burg and select "Ghoto Woods". After the scene, return to Burg. Go to Alex's house. Heh, looks like we're alone again... but not for long! Enter the house and go into the door right in front of you. Speak with Luna. Go speak with Alex's father and then back to Luna. Talk to Alex's father once more and you'll go to bed. After the scene, go to the west exit of the village and talk to Ramus. He'll join you again. Now MAKE ABSOLUTELY SURE to speak with the man standing in front of the item shop with Ramus in your party. You will waste a measly sum of 30s, but later in the game, you'll get some special items. Either way, you should do this now. Enter the shop and buy all the necessary equipment. .-----------. | BURG SHOP | |----------------------------------------. | Item Name | Price | |---------------------------|------------| | Short Sword | 200s | | Poison Darts | 180s | | Traveler Attire | 140s | | Iron Armlet | 60s | | Wooden Shield | 100s | | Healing Herb | 40s | | Antidote | 20s | | Cleansing Water | 60s | '----------------------------------------' I recommend buying a Short Sword and Wooden Shield for Alex.

Head left. Wow, lots of enemies here, and they're poisonous, too. Open the chests in the west for [ANTIDOTE] x2. Save and head north. During the scene, you'll get an option to temporarily recruit a fourth member in your party. Do so, if you're underleveled. He's at level 99, so yeah... If you feel that you're strong enough to take out the enemies by yourself, then choose not to invite him. Anyway, you'll fight a large group of Goblins and Ghidras. Use Luna's Slumber Song (she learns at level 7) and take then out one by one. After the scene, proceed west. Two more chests here, one contains an [ANTIDOTE], and the other one (red) is locked.

There's also a red locked chest on the second floor, so take note of it. Now head back to the bar on the first screen of the town and speak with Clyde there. He'll ask you to play a game with him (you'll need 200s to play it twice). Pick the first option and then whichever option you want. Talk to Clyde again for a scene.

You'll run into such chests in this forest quite often. The northmost chest contains a [HEALING HERB]. Go north. In this area, the chest in the west nets you another [HEALING HERB]. The north east one is a trap, while the southeast one has a [STAR LIGHT] in it. There's an exit near this chest, so take it. Open the first chest you see for [HEALING HERB], and the farther one is trapped. Make a turn and proceed north. The chest in the middle of this area is trapped, but the north one isn't and has [800s] in it. Take the east exit for a scene. Nash will join the party. Equip him with a Fortune Staff you got earlier. Enter the house. Go downstairs to find another locked chest. Then go upstairs and talk to the old woman. Pick either option and you'll get the [SEA CHART]. Exit the house and go south. Now take the southeast exit, then go south two times to get out of the forest. Return to Saith. Go to the shop and buy any necessary equipment, you should have enough money by now. If you can, try to save 2000s for two pieces of Soap item, which you will be able to buy very soon. These items give you additional scenes later in the game. You can get them by other means, but it's the easiest way, really. Heal your party near the statue and save your game. Go to the dock house and speak with the captain twice. Pick the second option. After the scene approach the jelly beast. .---------------------------------------------------------. | BOSS: Saline Slimer | HP: 1101 | EXP: 150 | SILVER: 0 | |----------------------------------------------------------------------------. | | | For the first real boss, this one is neither difficult nor too easy.

Ramus has pretty low movement range, so bows will give some advantage. Luna should keep her Silver Darts for now. Go up the stairway. There's a red chest in the rightmost house. Now head to the left side of this area and exit this area in northwest corner. There's a statue of Althena here. You can find Ramus in the east building, called Dross' shop. Exit this area to the west.

After watching it, head all the way back to the shop district and go north to Mel's Mansion. You'll find Mel's room by going right. After the scene, Mel will challenge Alex to a duel. The fight itself is pretty easy, because all you have to do is keep repeating Sword Dance every turn, and pull off Zephyr Blade when your gauge fills up. Heal inbetween his atacks. I've managed to do Zephyr Blade twice, actually. Vigor helps too, if you already have it. Alex will get 100 EXP upon winning, and 1000 years of shame (!) upon losing. Go back to Dross' shop and talk to Ramus for a scene. Talk to him again, and pick the first option. Whoops, looks like we got tricked! You can go talk to Mel now, as the shop assistant suggests, but that's really optional.

Luna heals when needed and Ramus does whatever you want him to do. | | | '----------------------------------------------------------------------------' Watch another scene. Damn, Ramus indeed is the man! You'll get 500s and your stolen Dragon Diamond back. Use Warp Wing to get the hell out of here. Since Ramus is going to leave your party, take off his equipment if you want. Do it before entering Dross' shop. During the conversation with Nash, choose to go to Vane. Back in Meribia, upgrade your equipment as you should have enough money after going through the sewers. Go to Mel's mansion. Go up the stairs east of Mel's room (we couldn't do it before, remember?). Then go west to find yourself in the place where you and Mel fought earlier. Go down the stairs and into the sewers again. Keep descending the stairs to find two chests - one contains [FORTUNE RING] and the other one is locked. I'd equip the Ring on Nash, if you bought him a Fireball Staff. Go all the way back and exit Mel's mansion. We can safely leave Meribia now. The city gate is behind the statue of Althena. On the world map, choose to go to the Transfer Spring.

Talk to the man for a free heal, and go right in the cave. Keep heading north. You'll run into a Chiro monster. Kill it before it escapes to get a hefty amount of EXP and Silver. You can use Sword Dance to ensure that you kill it, because regular attacks tend to miss. There's an invisible passage right where Chiro was. Go west through it and then south through another secret passage. Take the [500s] from the chest and go back. From where the Chiro was, head north and you'll find a chest with [500s] in the northeast corner. From there, head west and south. One more red locked chest to the right, take note of it.

Then go back and take the middle path. The two chests you'll come across are both trapped. From where they are situated, go east to find [1000s] in a chest. Then walk all the way left and up. Before going north to the next area, walk right over the rocks to find [600s] in a chest. Go back and up. The chest on youe left is a trap, continue going north. You'll come across two more chests, separated by a pond or something. Open the father one, as it is not a trap and contains [FRESH RING]. It's a very handy accessory that makes a characters immune to certain negative status effects. Cross the small bridge and follow the path west and south.

Pick the first option during the dialogue, and Mia will join you. Not having Luna sucks, of course, but don't worry too much, cause Mia is a worthy substitute, maybe even more powerful than Luna. Exit the prison through north door. Nash will join the party after a quick scene. Remember the door that Mia opened.

Quartz Mirrors and Star Comets are weak to lightning, so Nash's Riot comes to the rescue, while Mia's Flame Circle is more than enough to kill any enemy here with just one hit. Woohoo. Alex is going to fight bare handed, but that's better than nothing. From the starting point, take whichever stairway you want. Go north and pick up [1000s] from the chest in the northeast corner. Go up the stairs again. The path curves on this floor, so follow it to the end, and don't forget to grab [1500s] from the chest before going up. Go pick up [STAR LIGHT] near the west stairway. Walk back a bit, and take a east stairway (the one that branches into two more stairways). Take another stairway leading east.

Go to Dross' shop (now it's Ramus' shop, actually) and talk to the bunny girl who's standing near the entrance to the sewers and she'll sell you some new stuff. .-----------------. | MERIBIAN SHOP + | |----------------------------------------. | Item Name | Price | |---------------------------|------------| | Silver Sword | 1800s | | Silver Mail | 1200s | | Silver Shield | 900s | | Healing Fruit | 200s | | Star Light | 1000s | | Holy Water | 100s | '----------------------------------------' Buy a Silver Sword for Alex. Go to Mel's mansion. Enter Mel's room for a scene and after it, talk to Ghaleon twice to trigger another scene. Keep talking to Jessica for a total of fout times to advance the story. When all is said and done, leave the mansion. Go to the port, talk to Ghaleon and say you're ready to return to Burg. In Saith, Ghaleon will join the party. Find a man in a yellow shirt here, talk to him to get [1000s]. Exit Saith, and make your way through Ghoto Woods again to reach Burg. Go to Alex's house. Speak with your (Alex's) parents, then head north of your house and examine Dyne's monument to hear a pretty weird comment about it from Ghaleon... Go to the springs for a scene. After it, leave Burg and enter White Dragon Cave. Once inside the cave, take off Luna's equipment completely. Go to the dragon's lair for a scene. You'll wake up in your house. Go out and walk north. Talk to Laike who is near Dyne's monument. Pick either answer during the conversation. Laike will give [DRAGON WINGS], a kind of a teleportation device. Go back to Alex's house, go downstairs and examine the shelves for [LUNA BROMIDE 2]. Use Dragon Wings to teleport to Meribia for a quick scene and a fight. Jessica will join you. Hurry to Mel's mansion. On your way, you'll have to fight some enemies - Gargoyles, Rooks and Necromancers. Enter Mel's mansion and go to the right corner. Ascend the stairs and go west for a scene. Poor Mel. Exit the mansion, go to the statue of Althena and heal. Teleport to Vane. Save your game. Go north once for a scene. .-----------------------------------------------------. | BOSS: Grand Doom | HP: 2201 | EXP: 1200 | SILVER: 0 | |----------------------------------------------------------------------------. | | | Have Alex cast Vigor, Mia Endow Shield on herself, then Alex, then Nash. | | After doing that, she can rely on Flame Circle, while Alex should use his | | Sword Dance attack every turn as usual. Flash Cut works great, too. Jess' | | Ire Sledge Arte works very well against this boss. Whenever Mini Doom is | | used, heal immediately. Jessica role in this fight is being a healer, and | | Nash can help her out too with those Healing Herbs/Fruits. Grand Doom can | | also use Crimson Ray, a pretty damaging attack, but somehow I haven't seen | | it even once in the US version of the game. | | | '----------------------------------------------------------------------------' You'll be brought to Lemia's hall. Talk to both Mia and Nash twice to have them join you. Finally, speak with Lemia. Go back to Vane, stock up on items, heal and save. Teleport to Nanza Barrier and prepare for a quick battle. As Kyle, use Power Up on the first turn. Then use Power Sweep to kill all enemies in one blow. After the scene, DO NOT talk to Kyle and go inside the towers. Find your way into Kyle's bedroom and examine his bed to find [JESS BROMIDE 4]. Go back and talk to Kyle to have him join you. Woohoo, now we have a full party. Teleport to Althena's Shrine. Go north and up the east stairs. Talk to the girl twice to obtain [JESS BROMIDE 1]. Now check how much money you have. If you have more than 80000s (which I doubt you do), you can go to Ramus' Shop in Meribia and buy a special Reminiscer item and three additional bromides from Ramus himself. Note that if you buy just the bromides (5000s for each), the shop will close down and you'll lose your chance to get the Reminiscer. So it's best to wait until you have enough money to purchase all the items from Ramus at once. Either way, I'll tell when is the last point in the game that still lets you purchase these items. In Nanza Barrier, take the south exit. __ __) (, /| / / | / ) / |/ .--(_/ 'ANZA PASS - SOUTH-------------------------------------------WAL17--. |----------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Items | Enemies | |----------------------------------------|-----------------------------------| | | | | � Silver Light | � Moth | | | | '----------------------------------------------------------------------------' Keep going down, and turn right near the sign.

Go up the stairs for another scene. You'll get [THIEVES' GUIDE] from lord Damon. Use Warp Wing to get out of this dungeon in a jifty. If you want, you can go to Meryod and exchange the Old Notebook for Silver Light. To do this, speak with the man who competed with Nash and Kyle in the pub. To advance the story, enter Reza again.

BTW, my party was at level 27 at this point of the game. Oh yes, before going to Lyton, you should check how much money you have. If you've been grinding a bit in the past dungeons, you should have more than 80000 Silver. If not, try to sell some of your old stuff. Why I'm saying this, is because now is a good time to purchase all those items from Ramus' shop.

Go east and north, enter the door there. In the pipe, go north, east, south for [BARRIER RING]. Then east again, north and east for [OBSIDIAN SWORD] and return to the main path. Head east and north to find [1000s]. Go back to the previous room and enter the east door. In here, the lever is found in the east corner. Pull it and go back. Stand on the green platform to proceed further. Enter the only door, which will lead you to another pipe. Follow the path to [HEALING FRUT] in the northeast corner, then go southeast to the exit. Take the east door and talk to the old fart in the back, who turns out to be the owner of this tower. After the scene, speak with Laike. Go through the hole in the wall (near the blonde girl) to return to the tower's entrance. Back in Tamur we go. Go to the pub. Speak to your party members for a scene. Go outside, save your game and head north for a scene. Select the top answer during the dialogue. You'll fight in an one-on-one battle with Alex alone. Use Vigor and then Sword Dance every other turn. Heal when needed. You'll obtain [TEMPEST MEMENTO]. Exit Tamur as if you were going to Myght's Tower, and select Lost Woods on the Map. _ ___/__) (, / / .--(____OST WOODS-----------------------------------------------------WAL33--. |----------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Items | Enemies | |----------------------------------------|-----------------------------------| | | | | � Healing Fruit x2 | � Killer Fungus | | � Silver Light | � Ambush | | � Insane Shield | � Yeti | | � Cascabel Hairpin | � Insector | | � Chiro's Tail | | | � Pleiades Bangle | | | | | '----------------------------------------------------------------------------' Pick up the [HEALING FRUIT] from the chest right in front of you.

Continue northwest, pick up [PLEIADES BANGLE] from the chest. Head north, west and southwest. Take the southeast path at the fork. After the scene, go back and take the northwest path. Finally, head northwest and choose to rest. After the scene, don't go south yet. If you haven't bought the Reminiscer and the Bromides from Ramus' shop, NOW IS YOUR LAST CHANCE TO DO SO!!!

Great, now we're short on two party members. Enter the northmost house and talk to the old woman to obtain the permission to go to the underground cave. Buy some items in the shop if you need, and enter the northeast cave whenever you're ready. Keep in mind that you can't go anywhere until you clear the Black Dragon Fort. Jessica is not available, but if you don't have Warp Wings, don't worry - there is one in the dungeon you're about to explore. .----------. | PAO SHOP | |----------------------------------------. | Item Name | Price | |---------------------------|------------| | Healing Fruit | 200s | | Star Light | 1000s | | Angel's Tear | 600s | | Holy Water | 100s | '----------------------------------------' ______ (, / ) /---( ) / ____) .-(_/ ( LACK DRAGON FORT------------------------------------------WAL35--. |----------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Items | Enemies | |--------------------------------------|-------------------------------------| | | | | � Silver Light x2 | � Barbarian | | � Angel Ring | � Corona Master | | � Dragon Bandanna | � Chaos Demon | | � Dream Bow | � Cursed Face | | � Healing Fruit | | | � Insane Sword | | | � Dragon Armor | | | � Insane Armor | | | � Warp Wing | | | | | '----------------------------------------------------------------------------' Flash Cut works very well against the enemies here. In the first area, follow the path east and north. At the fork, go northwest, then east, north and west to the exit. Go west up the stairs for a scene. Tempest will join the party temporarily. Don't open the chest to your right, it's an MP-sucking trap. Go north and up the stairs. Keep going north, and open two chests for [SILVER LIGHT] and [ANGEL RING]. Return to the previous area, go south, east past the stairs and north up another set of stairs. Go northeast, pick up [DRAGON BANDANNA] from the northeast chest. The northwest one is an MP trap. Go down, west and take the south stairs. Head southwest to get [DREAM BOW]. Then head north for [HEALING FRUIT] and [INSANE SWORD]. Go back to the previous room and take the north stairway this time. Go east to another set of stairs, picking up [SILVER LIGHT] on your way. Ascend the stairs for another scene. You will obtain [DRAGON ARMOR] and Dragon Lament skill for Alex. East chest contains [INSANE ARMOR], and west one is just another trap. I also suggest giving all the Insane equipment to Kyle, and Dragon equipment to Alex. Go southwest, then north and up the stairs two times to get to the next area. Head north, make a turn and open a chest with [WARP WING] in the southeast corner. Save your game and go up the stairs that are opposite of this chest. A scene will occur. .--------------------------------------------------------. | BOSS: Black Dragon | HP: 7481 | EXP: 25000 | SILVER: 0 | |----------------------------------------------------------------------------. | | | In the first part of the battle your party is paralyzed, and this "battle" | | will end after the third turn. You will only be able to fight properly in | | the second part of the fight. Let's talk about how the dragon attacks. It | | does two moves per round. Most of the time you'll be seeing Blowback first | | (it blows your characters back to the right edge of the screen, making it | | hard for them to reach the dragon, which leads them to losing a few hits; | | just use skills, and you'll be fine with this), followed by a Breath-type | | attack that can be fire-, ice-, or thunder-based. You need to heal almost | | immediately after these attacks, or you might lose your party. Sometimes, | | though, the dragon might use two Breath attacks in one turn, which is even | | more dangerous. As usual, have Alex and Kyle cast Vigor and Power Up on | | themselves, Nash should cast Thunder Rain on his first turn, and Tempest | | should just use his Flash Arrow skill and heal whenever possible. Nash | | should stick to healing after casting Thunder Rain, while Alex and Kyle | | can use Zephyr Blade and Shine Blade, respectively, on their second turn, | | and then just stick to using Sword Dance and Power Slash for the rest of | | the battle. This fight shouldn't be too hard if you keep your characters | | well-healed at all times. | | | '----------------------------------------------------------------------------' After the battle, use Warp Wing to get out of here. Back in Pao, enter the top west yurt for a scene. Talk to Tempest to get [MASTER SWORD]. Before going to Myght's Tower again, we still have some handy items to get. Teleport to the fine city of Meribia, enter Ramus' shop and talk to the bunny girl to be able to buy Althena Doll and Brigand Medal for Jess and Kyle, respectively. These items give them extra Arts when equipped. In Thieves' Guild (Reza) you can buy items with the same effect for Mia and Nash - Master Ribbon and Guild Emblem. You can also buy Silver Darts here. Teleport to Lann. Talk to the man in the house, that's north of the statue. Pick the top choice in the dialogue when prompted.

You won't get much EXP from these battles, though... From the entrance, head straight to the north and exit this area in northeast. Go east all the way for [10000s]. Head south and west, then south again, and southeast to reach Althena's Hidden Spring. You can talk to the woman here to take a bath in the spring. You also should have at least two Soap items, because that's where they come in handy again. Use one Soap to watch either Mia's or Jessica's bath scene. Once you've seen in it, save your game. Now take a bath again, and you should see another scene. If you've seen the same scene again, just reload your save and retry. Once you're done here, teleport to Myght's Lab. Talk to Myght for a scene. After it, speak with all of your party members a couple of times. Afterwards, on the roof, talk to Mia, Jess and Kyle, and then to Nash. Watch how the events unfold. Nash, you little piece of ****! Teleport to Iluk. Enter the red-roofed house. Talk to the man inside, and examine the easel to get [MIA BROMIDE 4]. Teleport to Reza and go to Thieves' Guild. In the Bazaar, talk to the man in the northwest corner. Pick the bottom answer when prompted. Go speak with the barkeep upstairs and return here. Talk to the man again to obtain [BALLOON ENGINE]. Teleport to Myght's Lab. Talk to Myght. After the scene, talk to Laike and your party members. Go to the roof and talk to Myght for a scene.

Otherwise, it's an easy fight. | | | '----------------------------------------------------------------------------' After the battle, go west and make a turn to the north. It's the exit!

A scene will occur at the entrance. After it, go through the opening. Enter the building right in front of you and pick up [STAR LIGHT]. Go back and enter the northwest building for [SILVER LIGHT]. The east building has a chest with [BEAM ARMLET]. The building in the far northeast has [SILVER LIGHT] in a chest. Go back and northwest into the next area. Enter the northwest house and grab [FORTUNE RING] from the chest. Go back and head southwest this time. In the next screen go south and you'll be back in the starting area with multiple buildings.

He also has a weak normal attack, but he rarely uses it. Mia's | | Ice Geyser works best in this battle! Make her cast it every turn, after | | she casted Endow Weapon on Alex and Kyle. Alex and Kyle, in their turn, | | should cast Vigor and Power Up. Jessica should use Divine Litany on her | | first turn, then maybe Ire Sledge. Otherwise, she's a dedicated healer, as | | always. All in all, this fight shouldn't be too difficult, if you heal | | your party in time and use Ice Geyser frequently. | | | '----------------------------------------------------------------------------' After the battle, pick the top answer during the conversation. Nash will join your party once again. Ooh, I wish Kyle gave him a beating, but oh well... Go up the stairs, and follow the only path for a scene. I don't know why, but Warp Wings and Jessica's Return Litany don't work here, so we'll have to walk back to the entrance. On the Frontier Map, select Airship for a scene. You'll be back at Vane's Magic Guild. Exit it to Vane, heal at the statue, and go two screens down, then talk to Nash and the old woman. Nash will join you. Go back to the Guild and enter the door that lead to the Crystal Tower entrance. Speak with your party members for a scene. Go into the door that Mia opened. Descend the stairs and go into the door for a breathtaking cutscene. Before going to the Grindery, there is one more important thing to do - taking three powerful accessories from the places we previously visited. Two of them require you to have spoken to some people at certain points in the game, but if you've been following this walkthrough, you should be fine. Teleport to Reza and enter the Thieves' Guild. Find the pink-haired girl inside and talk to her twice for a [GALE RING]. Exit Reza and enter Damon's Spire. Go all the way to the top and speak with lord Damon there. He will give an [ORB RING]. Use Warp Wing or Return Litany to get out of here, and teleport to Lann. Enter the house that is north of the statue of Althena. Speak with the man inside, and you will receive [FIEND'S TEAR]. Ok, now we've got everything we need. I'd suggest equipping Gale Ring on Alex, and Orb Ring on Jess or Mia (if you want to use her Inferno spell frequently). Heal up and save your game.

After the scene, you'll be in the Grindery Core. Go east to the next area. Go up two sets of stairs, open the chest with [HEALING FRUIT]. Go up the stairs and into the door. Go into the west door for [SILVER LIGHT]. Go back and east. In the next room, go east and take northeast exit. Go into the door first for [SILVER LIGHT]. Then back and up the stairs. Go through the west door, then take the southwest door to find a chest with [HEALING FRUIT]. Go two screens back and take east door. Follow the path around the room and exit it northwest continuing up the stairs. Go into the northwest room for [STAR LIGHT]. Go back and take southwest exit. Go west for a quick scene. Exit this area southwest. Then, up the stairs and west. Heal at the statue, and take the northeast exit, then southeast exit. Go through the northeast exit, then take the middle door. Go northeast (into the darkness) and collect [ANGELIC GARMENT] from the chest in the corner. Exit this room south to get [ANGEL RING]. Go back and west. Go all the way southwest and take the lower southeast exit for [ILLUSION RIBBON]. Return to the previous room, and the only north exit available this time. Go through two following rooms, then southeast to the exit. Go west to find a chest with [DIVINE BANDANNA]. Then go back and up the northeast stairs. Take the [LACQUER HELMET] from the chest and go through the east door. Open the chest with [LACQUER SHIELD] and save your game. Go north for a scene. After it, heal up and enter the big red door. .---------------------------------------------------------. | BOSS: Magic Emperor | HP: 8380 | EXP: 50000 | SILVER: 0 | |----------------------------------------------------------------------------. | | | Let's talk about character actions first: on your first turn, Alex casts | | Vigor, Nash casts Thunder Rain, Jess casts Divine Litany, Mia casts Endow | | Weapon on Alex, Kyle casts Power Up; on your second turn, Alex does Zephyr | | Blade, Nash heals, Jessica does Ire Sledge or heals if your party was hit, | | Mia casts Endow Weapon on Kyle, and Kyle does Shine Blade. After that, all | | you need to do is keep you characters alive, and attack when you can. Nash | | and Jess should focus on healing mostly. Jessica has her Calm Litany, and | | can help out with Healing Fruits. Emperor's attacks consist of weak normal | | attack, and another, very powerful, multi-target attack. It can be Nitro | | Dagger, Tornado or Inferno. Any attack out of these three can do heavy | | damage to your party. A Nitro Dagger once killed my Mia with full health, | | and she was level 41. So as you see, healing is what you need to worry | | about here. As I was able to notice, Emperor does two multi-target attacks | | for two turns, and then his normal attack for two or three turns, so use | | that time to heal up and prepare for a heavy attack. You can also use Mist | | Barrier, Mia's Arte, if you're feeling that you won't make it. | | | '----------------------------------------------------------------------------' After the battle, go north for a scene. Go up the stairs to meet Luna. Heh, and you really thought it was all over? You can't win the next battle, so do not waste your energy on it, and let the enemy kill you. After the scenes, you'll find yourself in Mel's mansion. Go into Mel's room and speak with the girls. Enter Meribia. Go to Ramus' shop and talk to him twice to get [JESS BROMIDE 2] and [MIA BROMIDE 2]. Talk to the bunny girl and buy 99 of each item without paying a single Silver! Go to the port and enter the pub. Talk to Kyle and Nash inside. Go back to Mel's mansion and speak to the girls again. They will join you. Head to the pub again and speak to Kyle, then to Nash for a scene. Pick the top answer in the conversation when prompted. Don't talk to Laike just yet. Make sure you've done and seen everything there is to do and see. Make sure you got all the needed accessories that I listed a little bit above, and that you have seen the bathing scenes, thus adding them to the Reminiscer menu. After telling Laike that you're ready to go, THERE IS NO WAY TO GET BACK TO THE NORMAL WORLD! Ever. So don't tell me I didn't warn you. Anyway, once you're ready, speak with Laike and pick the upper choice during the conversation. After the scene, talk to Kyle, Mia and then Laike. Examine Dyne's Monument. After a cool scene, you'll arrive in the Azure City. _____ (, / | /---| ) / | ,--(_/ |ZURE CITY-------------------------------------------------WAL42--. |----------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Items | Enemies | |----------------------------------------|-----------------------------------| | | | | � Lacquer Armor | � Death Warrior | | � Dragon Staff | � Spellcaster | | � Arcane Garment | � Gades | | � Palladium Robe | | | � Starlight Bow | | | � Holy Mace | | | � Angel's Tear | | | � Silver Light | | | | | '----------------------------------------------------------------------------' Go northwest two times. A scene will occur. You have to defeat all the enemies in the area to move on (sometimes just the Spellcaster enemy). You'll be running into such traps fairly often here, so get used to it. At least you'll level up a bit. Take the lower northwest path to [LACQUER ARMOR]. Go back and take the southeast path. Open the chest with [DRAGON STAFF]. Go back and take the upper northwest path. Follow the only path there is to the next area. Open the chest with [ARCANE GARMENT], and take the lower northeast path. Travel straight to the northeast, take [PALLADIUM ROBE] from the chest and go back. Go up the stairs and into the door this time. A scene will occur, and your party will be "cursed". Now one or two of your characters will be entering battles with Sleep status. Not very good. Anyways, go northeast. Then take the northwest exit. Grab [STARLIGHT BOW] in here, and exit to northeast. Go to the east directly, and in the next area, collect [HOLY MACE] from the chest. Go back to the previous area (northwest exit) and up the stairs. Go west, then make a turn and go east. Go further east, grab [ANGEL'S TEAR] from the chest. Take the lower west exit. Keep following the path, grabbing [SILVER LIGHT] on your way and enter the door. Save your game.

So, as usual, stay well-healed and keep using | | powerful skills, and you'll win soon enough, cause Royce is nothing more | | than a pushover at this point in the game.

Each of them correspond to one of the four dragons you've met on your journey. Also, be careful with the enemies called Great Demons here. Their Arc Bolt attack is pretty dangerous, and they're very fast, too, so you might want to stick to Dragon Lament when fighting them. Step on the white teleporter. Go all the way northeast and step on northeast teleporter. Go northwest to the center of the room, and take the northeast teleporter. You'll be in a room with four colored teleporters. Take the northwest first. Go up the stairs, and pick up [SILVER LIGHT] in the east corner. Take the far west teleporter. Collect [ADVENT ARMLET] from the chest. Go back to the room with four teleporters. Take the southwest teleporter, then the west teleporter, and open the chest with [HERO'S ARMLET]. Go back to the four teleporter area. Take the southeast teleporter, then the east teleporter and open the chest with [AVATAR ROBE]. Go back two screens. Now take the northeast teleporter, then step in the far northeast teleporter. Collect the [SPIRIT TALISMAN] from the chest and go back. Take the center teleporter, then go up the stairs. In the nest area, go down the west stairway. Take [NAMELESS SWORD] from the chest and return to the previous area. Go into the teleporter in the center of the room. Go northeast and up another stairs. Take the east exit in the next room. Make your way around the blocks and exit northeast. Pick [SILVER LIGHT] from the chest. Take the northwest teleporter. Save your game. Go up the stairs for a scene. During the scene, pick the top option. .---------------------------------------------------. | BOSS: Xenobia | HP: 9700 | EXP: 55000 | SILVER: 0 | |----------------------------------------------------------------------------. | | | Xenobia's pretty much like the previous boss, Royce - she doesn't have any | | significantly dangerous spells, and can be taken down pretty quickly, if | | you dedicate the first two turns to powering up your attackers. Sonic Boom | | and Chaos Wave seem to be her most damaging spells, but even they can't | | really hurt your party that much, if you're properly leveled. So, all you | | need to do is raise Alex's and Kyle's attack as much as you can and let it | | rip. She drops Silver Light when defeated. | | | '----------------------------------------------------------------------------' At this point, all you need to do is enter the green door and face your final foe. Make sure you're well equipped, healed and properly leveled. My team was at level 50 after the battle with Xenobia, but level 45 should do the trick, too. Anyway, here's a quick summary of my party's equipment before the final battle: Alex (Level 50) Nash (Level 50) Weapon: Althena's Sword Weapon: Starlight Bow Armor: Dragon Armor Armor: Avatar Robe Shield: Dragon Shield Shield: Pleiades Bangle Helmet: Dragon Helmet Helmet: Divine Bandanna Accessory 1: Barrier Ring Accessory 1: Devil Pendant Accessory 2: Wrath Ring Accessory 2: Fortune Ring Jessica (Level 49) Mia (Level 49) Weapon: Holy Mace Weapon: Dragon Staff Armor: Arcane Garment Armor: Palladium Robe Shield: Advent Armlet Shield: Hero's Armlet Helmet: Radiant Tiara Helmet: Illusion Ribbon Accessory 1: Spirit Talisman Accessory 1: Orb Ring Accessory 2: Protection Ring Accessory 2: Chiro's Tail Kyle (Level 50) Weapon: Nameless Sword Armor: Lacquer Armor Shield: Lacquer Shield Helmet: Lacquer Helmet Accessory 1: Wrath Ring Accessory 2: Barrier Ring Once you're ready, enter the green door, climb the stairs and enter the black door for a scene. .------------------------------------------------------------. | FINAL BOSS: Magic Emperor | HP: 11080 | EXP: 0 | SILVER: 0 | |----------------------------------------------------------------------------. | | | I hope you have high enough resistance to withstand his magical attacks. | | His Rock Crush spell is the most damaging, and if he does it twice in one | | turn... well, good luck surviving it. Most of the time, he wastes half of | | his turn attacks on a weak physical attack. Divine Litany is certainly a | | must here. Jessica should heal the party each turn, no questions asked. | | After doing Thunder Rain, Nash should help out with healing, too. After | | powering up Alex and Kyle, let them attack the Emperor with Sword Dance | | and Power Slash, and don't forget about Mystic Artes, too. Mia should cast | | Endow Weapon and Endow Shield, if needed. Aside from Rock Crush, Emperor's | | attacks are not that damaging, actually. The only attack you should look | | out for is Huge Keeper. This spell insta-kills ALL of your party members. | | It's easy to foresee it, as it's preceded by a Blast Loci spell, which | | does no damage to your party. If you've seen him pull off a Blast Loci, | | make Mia use her Mist Barrier or Alex use his Dragon Guard spell ASAP. Now | | you should be able to survive the attack successfully. That's pretty much | | all the Emperor does. If you're lucky enough, you'll kill him before he | | even takes a chance to cast Huge Keeper. | | | '----------------------------------------------------------------------------' After the battle, go north for a scene.

Lunar: Silver Star Harmony ends here. ============================================================================== 10.........................FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS....................LUN10 ============================================================================== 01. What is this game? - This is another remake of the Sega CD RPG called Lunar: The Silver Star. That game is almost 20 years old, but is still considered a cult classic to this day. It's kind of a remake of a remake of a port. 02. Is this game turn-based or real-time? - Turn-based. 03. Any other Lunar games that you can recommend? - The only other game worth recommending is Lunar 2: Eternal Blue and its remakes. 04. When was this game released? - In Japan - 11/12/2009 (under the title "Lunar: Harmony of Silver Star"). In US - 03/02/2010 (both Normal and Limited Editions). 05. Which game is better - this or Lunar: SSSC for the PSOne? - I do believe this game has its strengths as well as weaknesses, and I consider it to be a worthy Lunar remake. This game is not inferior to SSSC in any way, not counting the difficulty and the voiceovers, cause some people don't like them. IMO, the voiceovers are very well done (except for Nall ;P). 06. What's with these Silver Star remakes? Why won't they give us Lunar 3? - My thoughts exactly. Though I don't mind another SS remake, I'd like to see Lunar 3 some day, too. 07. How difficult is this game? - Pretty easy. 08. What does the "demo clear" save do? - You'll get Silver Darts from Ohro for Luna instead of a standard Sling. They add quite a bit to resistance and are useful against the larger enemies that don't go down in one swing because they'll regularly inflict the sleep status. 09. Alex is walking too slow. Is there a sprint button? - The right shoulder PSP button. 10. How long is this game? - It's about 20-25 hours long, depends on your playstyle. 11. Any optional super hard bosses? - Nope. 12. Ok, so what are the main changes in this game (compared to SSSC)? - There's a new opening scenario, the music is all remastered with actual instruments, the anime cutscenes are of higher quality, the voice acting is redone, the artes gauge from Lunar Legend was added in, and the graphics are completely overhauled, though still 2D. 13. Your English is pretty bad... - Well, since English is my third language, I don't think it's THAT bad if I was able to pull off a guide like this. ============================================================================== 11..................................CREDITS..............................LUN11 ============================================================================== Game Arts - for making this game Xseed Games - for publishing it All the Lunar players who gave me some good tips/advice (whose info, posted on the message boards, I have used): RottenAngel2, Lunar Eclipse, VeghEsther, ui56, Carl1111, HardyBoy, MuffinAW4.
