You can buy various food for this pet, scold it and praise it. Depending on how happy the pet is, it will help you in battles, and more importantly, find items. The thing is, that the pet will appear at random times in battle no matter how happy or angry it is. When it's happy, it will support your characters with spells that raises defense and similar stats, and when its angry, it will attack your enemies. You can not control the pet yourself. When walking around, the pet will find random items for you. Usually, having a happy pet is best for finding the most items, so make sure you feed it and praise it. However, buying the cheapest food and feeding it to the pet often is more than good enough. In fact, the pet system is very underdeveloped, and is much more of a gimmck than a real feature - unfortunately. ============================================================================== The Battle System [HeroBat] ============================================================================== Just like in any other oldskool RPG, the battle system in A Tear of Vermillion is turn based. The difference however, is that 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. It's important to not use melee attacks on enemies that are far away, and it can also be wise to target the same enemy with all of your characters, until the targeted foe is defeated. It is important to heal your character using either potions and items or healing spells. You can heal in battles, or while not being in a battle at all. The battle menu gives you quite a few choices. Here, I will explain them all: Attack ------- This option makes your character attack using his or her equipped weapon. A completely standard melee attack in other words. Magic ------ This is what you use in order to do magic attacks. After pressing 'magic' in the battle menu you need to choose what kind of magic alignment you want to use. There are alignments like White Magic (healing and stats-boost), Black Magic (spells that damage your enemies) and Spirit Magic (spells that damage lots of enemies at once). Remember that magic attacks do cost MP. Deadly ------- The strongest attacks in the game. Can only be used when he power meter for the character you want to attack with is filled. The meter fills automatically as you fight. Skill ------ Skills are abilities that your characters learn as they level up. Some skills are usual attacks, while others make your characters able to steal items from your enemies and so on. Item ----- You can also use items in battle, like potions that give your characters HP, MP or boost their stats. Your character will have to wait with other actions until next turn after using an item. Even if you use an item with one character, you can make another one recieve the effect of the item, by targeting the receiver after selecting the item. Wait ----- This option should really have been named 'move', since you can move your character after selecting it. If you move your character, you will not be able to attack during the same turn. Useful for attracting enemies that won't reach you after all, and then attacking them the next turn when they are within your range. Escape ------ Makes your party run away from battle. You can not run away from boss battles, and escaping does not give you any experience points at all. Not recommended unless you feel like you're going to get defeated. Finally, Remember this: -> Melee and other standard attacks do not cost anything to use -> Magic Spells cost Mana (MP) to use, but MP can be refilled by using items -> Skills cost nothing to use -> Water is good against fire etc. -> 'Deadly' is an attack that can only be used when the power meter is full -> The power meter is filled slowly during battles -> 'Wait' gives you the opportunity to move your character -> You can not control pets yourself -> When you target an enemy with skills or magic but the target dies before You get to attack, your skill/magic will not be used. If you used a normal attack however, it will be used on another target. -> Monsters drop Pia -> 1 Pia is worth 5 Roze. Exchange at the various shops in the game. ============================================================================== The Main Menu [HeroMen] ============================================================================== You can access the main menu at any time, when not in battle or in a conversation with someone. Use the Square button to access it. There are various choices in the menu, and I will explain them as best as I can here. Equip ----- This is where you equip weapons, armor and accessories you have found or bought. After pressing 'equip', use the L and R buttons to browse between the characters in your party. You always need to manually equip stuff - do not forget that. Item ----- This is where you use items like potions, read about your equipment, or read in the books you have found. Should not require more of an explanation. Magic ------ Outside of battle, you can also use magic spells. Use L and R to browse between party members, and their magic spells. You will be using the magic option a lot for healing spells both after and before battles. Map ---- This is a map over El Phildin. You can not look at the map before Avin and Mile have been certified as adventurers. The map is not very important, but serves as a quick reminder of where the various towns, cities and villages are located. History -------- Serves as a log over what has happened in El Phildin in recent years and ancient times. You gain more entries by reading books, and most importantly, just progressing in the game's storyline. Data ----- This is where you save your game, load already existing savegames, or delete them. You can save whenever you want, and as many times as you feel like. System ------- Here you can set the message speed, configure the button layout (controls) and turn word balloons ON or OFF. The main menu also displays your amount of Roze, Pia, and the HP, MP and level of your current party members. ============================================================================== Frequently Asked Questions [HeroFaq] ============================================================================== Q: I heard this isn't really the first game in the series.

Octum wanted to destroy the world, and Bardus wanted to keep the current world, and continue developing it. The two of them fought, and Bardus eventually managed to seal Octum away with a powerful spell. However, because of this, Bardus also lost his power and had to split his body into six parts, and let the goddess Durga guard them, so that he would not completely disappear. Many, many years later, in the very same world that the two gods where fighting about, humans have made two religions - The Church of Bardus and Octum's Apostles. These two religions are competitors, and the humans have fought many battles against each other because of disagreements relating to the religions. Even though the Octum Apostles might sound evil, they just think that the current world is not worth keeping, and that it would be better to just destroy it and have the gods start from the beginning again. In other words, they want a purification. With this said, the apostles often use extreme methods to reach their goals. The Church of Bardus however, wants the current world to exist, and do not wish for purification through destruction. In spite of this, the leaders of the church are corrupt, and the donations that are given to them, often flow straight into their pockets. Just like what a certain religion here in the real world has been known for in the past. The plot that's being fed to you while playing the game, and not before or after the game, is that Avin's sister is believed to have a direct link to the goddess Durga, and that she can make miracles happen. This also means that Avin's sister is directly connected to the gods Bardus and Octum - through the goddess Durga. To find out what's going to happen to Avin and his sister, you will need to play the game. Good luck! ============================================================================== Beginnings [Avin001] ============================================================================== Items To Find -------------- Note to Elder Red Marbles Letter to Sage Phylactery Kabessa Fresh Cabbage Fresh Tomato Watch the opening sequence where you are introduced to Avin and Eimelle, that are feeding a cat with milk, and talking about hiding the animal so that the professors won't be able to find it. A professor named Ollesia suddenly catches them. Before anything else happens, the nearby guards are killed by someone named Bellias. Ollesia takes Avin and Eimelle and escapes, while an old priest buys them some time by fighting Bellias and his men. After a while, a man named Sage Gawaine protects Avin, when he's attacked by Bellias' men.. Some days later after being separated from his sister, Avin wakes up in an old house in the village Ourt, where another Sage, Lemuras, is living. Avin eats some breakfast, and is then told to bring a letter to the local elder. Avin receives Note to Elder. Walk south and follow the path the only way it leads until you reach Ourt Village. Lemuras' house was only in the outskirts of this village. Walk south to the tools shop and talk to the man behind the counter to receive some Red Marbles. Elder Roan can be found in the big house west of the tools shop, so go give him the letter from Lemuras. A boy will appear outside of the house, so follow him east when he runs away, and then talk to him. His name is Mile. you will have to play tag with him a little now. The places Mile runs off to are following: East of elder's house-> Cabbage field-> Bridge south of elder's house-> Inside elder's house. Back here, the elder will give Avin the Letter to Sage, and explain that Mile is not used to other kids. Well, head north out of the village, talk to Mile to hear about the upcoming festival, and then return to Lemuras' house. + Festival Some days later the festival is about to begin, and Mile comes to pick up Avin. When Mile has joined the party, head south to Ourt, where the elder is about to hold a speech in the cabbage field. After that, head a little east to the village well and examine it to find a Phylactery. Then, walk to the southern side of the tools shop and examine the colored items there to find another one. After the festival, some years will pass, and the two boys will grow up. Lemuras tells Avin to search for a sage named Dinerken, to gain power. Open the treasure chest right of Lemuras' bed to find the Kabessa. You will be instructed to take this item to Dinerken, and then.. Lemuras says goodbye to this world. This was a little sad, in my own opinion. Now you will get Lemuras' pet on your team. Just walk a little south to the nearby wagon, and then examine the pet to get a Sp. Arcanum 1. When you go near the pet and examine it, you can also scold, praise or feed it. The best thing is that the pet can find items for you, just like it did a second ago. It can also assist you in battle. Try to praise the pet often, if you want it to find items for you often. If it is happy, it will raise your defense in battle, while it will attack enemies when its angry. Don't worry about feeding it yet. I will not mention the items that the pet finds, as they are always healing items, mana refillers and so on. When you run out of a standard item like that, the pet will find more for you - all the time. Its not really a deep system. Just remember to praise your pet! And also remember that the pet is most useful for finding items, not for doing battle. Before heading south, save your game from the main menu. In Ourt, speak to the elder and then go to the southwest exit of the town to see Mile. He says that he wants to follow Avin on his journey, and tells him to go see the elder to get permission to leave - well, do that. The elder says that there is a huge and dangerous monster named Hamakages that is on the loose, and that it is dangerous to go on a journey right now. Head over to Mile's house, and prepare for some hilarious bad dialog Mile is fighting with his parents over leaving on a journey. Go the to cabbage field after the conversation and pick up some Fresh Cabbage, and then head back to the southwest exit to get a Fresh Tomato by speaking to Fam, who is guarding the exit. Now head back to Mile's house to deliver the cabbage, then get back to the exit again to lure Fam away by telling him that there's french fries waiting for him. This way, you can now leave the village. ============================================================================== Goodbye Ourt [Avin002] ============================================================================== Items To Find -------------- Beast Claw Swordmaster 1 Donation Box Silver Anklet Wooden Shield Now, outside of Ourt Village, you will be able to fight monsters. The exit of this field in the the far northwest corner, so head towards there. Fight all the monsters that you meet, as they are very weak and easy to beat. You will notice that the battle system is turn based, and that you can use magic, standard attacks, skills and something named Deadly. Deadly attacks can only be used when your power meter is full. This meter fills when you fight. Continue following the path, fighting enemies, and use Mile's white magic spells to heal back to full health. You will run into a young man screaming about the monster Hamakages. His name is Martie, and he has been sent here to deal with Hamakages. One thing leads to another, and soon you will be fighting Hamakages. +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Boss: Big Hamakages | |--------------------+--------------------+----------------------------------+ | HP: 150 | Recommended lv: 2 | | |--------------------+--------------------+ | | This is the first boss battle in the game, against the monster Hamakages. | | Martie joins you in this one, which is why you have three party members. | | Anyways, start by doing normal attacks if none of your party members have | | their Power Meter charged full. Once someone has their meter full, use | | a deadly attack to kill the boss. One of them should be more than enough, | | even this early in the game. If you can't seem to fill up the meter, or | | don't want to do it at all, just do melee attacks, and use Miles to heal | | Avin and Martie when they need more health. | | Reward: Silver Anklet | | | +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ Avin gets a Beast Claw to prove that he and Mile are strong enough to go on a journey, so take that claw, 50 Roze and head back the village. The whole bunch of people there are waiting for you. You are eventually allowed to leave. When you have left the day after, go back to the village once more and talk to the lady in the tool shop to receive a swordmaster 1 book. Try and collect all the books in this series throughout the game! Also, before leaving the village again buy some pet food and a Wooden Shield for Avin, and equip him with it, as well as with the Silver Anklet you got from beating Hamakages. Now, finally, leave the village for real! Oh yeah, save your game before leaving the village. Walk north from where you killed the Hamakages monster until you reach a fork in the road, with a sign near. The sign says that the capital is to the left, so head left. Follow the path, fight all the enemies, and heal using Mile's magic when needed, and you will eventually reach the capital Phildin at the end of the path. For your information, Phildin is split into several parts, like on the very simple maps I made. Check the maps section to look at them. Now that you hopefully have gotten to know the capital a little better, head to the Northeast part of town and the exit to Tibri. Martie is there. Avin tries to follow him, but is stopped by a guard, because the dangerous Syamseal gang is on the loose outside of town. Very well then, Avin and Mile are absolutely not allowed to use this path without permission, says the guard. Miles has an idea about going to the Adventurer Guild in town, so do that. The guild is located on your west side - just go left from the fountain. Talk to the man behind the counter there and you will be asked to get donations for the church. Head over to Zaria's donations straight north of the guild to get the Donation Box from Zaria. Below is a list of the donators you need to talk to. As earlier, check the maps section in this document to find out where people live. Northeast Phildin Donators ------------------------------------- Fana, in the cellar of Claude's house Zucca, in his own house Fururu's mom, below Zucca's house Northwest Phildin Donators -------------------------- Amelia, in her house Edda, in her house Mrs Zeal, in her house South Phildin Donators -------------------------- Paddy, in the Tool shop Trine, in the Weapon shop Jyamane, in the inn bartender, in the inn Yan, in his house Karamus, in his house Once you have all the donations, head back to Zaria and deliver all the donations you have gathered. After a little verbal fighting, head back to the guild and talk to Meister. He will reward you with 50 Roze for the job. Now, the girl named Fururu will come running into the guild. She says that her stuffed pet fell down in the river, and most likely ended up in the waterways. Avin and Mile accept a new mission - getting the stuffed pet back! Well then, head down into the waterways, which can be found a little southeast of the guild. The entrance is on lower ground, so you will have to drop down there, or use the stairs. ============================================================================== Meeting Muse [Avin003] ============================================================================== Items To Find ------------------- Bang Bang Leather Boots Explorer Map Long Boomerang Buckler Swordmaster 2 Fight all the monsters you meet and then walk until you meet a *ehrm..* good looking *ehrm..* girl that is being pursuded by someone. The girl escapes after explaining that she's called Muse. Head south after Muse has escaped and follow the path until you find Bang Bang, the missing stuffed pet. Head back to the guild and deliver Bang Bang to Fururu. Meister gives Avin and Mile another 50 Rozen. Now you can walk to Fururu's house, and she will give you Swordmaster 2. After that, head back to the guild to get your third mission. Your last task is to go find Martie. Well, head to northwestern part of town and to the house where the fighting couple lives. Talk to Martie, since he is there, trying to calm them down. Mile will do a trick, involving flowers, to cheer up the couple, and then, return to the guild with Martie in your party. Now, head south out of town to where you first came from, but instead of heading towards Ourt, head north to Gemstone Stope when you get to the fork in the road. Once you reach Jewel Road, head northwest to find the exit, then straight north in the next area. Remember to fight monsters, and to heal afterwards. If you don't like battles, this is not a game for you. You will reach the stope, where some workers are standing outside, complaining about monsters in their mine. Head inside to investigate after you have saved your game. + Gemstone Stope Mine Inside the mine, head straight north to see that lovely girl named Muse again, arguing with some bad guys. You will have to fight these men, along with Muse. Winning is easy, if you just remember to use Muse's Spirit Salamander Spell, which deals damage to all the enemies participating in the battle. Muse explains that those men were members of the Syamseal Gang that has been bothering the townspeople back in the capital. Your mission will be to kill all the monsters that these bad guys have released into the mine. First start by killing all the monsters in the part of the mine you are in now. A god tip for fighting them, is using Avin and Martie's stone blast, which can damage several monsters in one blow. Do not rush into battle all the time, as it can be smarter to use 'wait' the first turn so that the monsters move closer, but can't hit before the next turn. With all the monsters in this part of the mine dead, head north from where you fought the Syamseal guys. In this area, you can go straight east to find two chests with Leather Boots and 200 Roze in. Equip the boots on Avin or Mile. Once all the monsters are dead, Muse will make it clear, so head back to Phildin once you're done. Before going back to the Adventurer Guild, head to the Weapons Shop and buy a Long Boomerang for Mile and a Buckler for Muse. Remember to equip them, and to sell the old equipment. Meister in the guild gives you 100 Roze for the job, as well as an Explorer Map, that can be accessed from the main menu from now on. Now, you might want to talk a little to the citizens in Phildin, to read some lovely conversations between Muse and the people you talk to, and then, if you feel ready, head towards Tibri. The exit you're going to have to use is located in the northeast part of northeast Phildin. Follow Tibri Highway the only way it leads, and fight all the monsters you meet. As always remember healing. You will eventually run over some bridges, and reach a chest with a Rare Potion in. After that, some soldiers will come running from Tibri, saying that the Syamseal Gang have taken over Tibri. After the soldiers have escaped, walk north towards Tibri village. ============================================================================== Saving Villagers In Tibri [Avin004] ============================================================================== Items To Find +------------------------------------+ | Bonds of Life | Rare Potion | | Sp Arcanum 1 | Defender | | Sp Arcanum 3 | Sp Arcanum 2 | | Silver Anklet | Pearl Bracelet | | Bezant Armor | Rupture Rod | | Royal Powder | Green Crystal | | Bastard Sword | Kabessa | +------------------------------------+ Once you arrive outside of Tibri, some soldiers explain that the villagers have been taken hostage, and that the Syamseal Gang wants 'The Book of Life' in order to let the villagers free. So, head back to the Guild in Phildin to tell Meister about what's going on. After speaking to him, go to the library and ask Professor Logos about the book. The professor gives you an ancient soap opera named 'Bonds of Life' instead, planning to trick the bad guys back in Tibri with it. Before heading back to Tibri, sleep at the upper floor of the inn to regain HP and MP, and exchange your Pia into Rozes at the Tools Shop. I recommend spending the money you received at the weapons shop. Get 'Bezant Armor', 'Rupture Rod' and 'Bastard Sword'. Equip them and then sell the old equipment for some Roze. When you try to leave town, the guard will tell you that new rules have been introduced, and that you are not allowed to pass. Muse however, knows how to persuade him, so head all the way back to Tibri. When you get there, a man named General Diren blows Muse's cover, and explains that she's really the princess of the country - Mildine Uriel Silviana Esmelas. Diren explains that the villagers of Tibri are trapped in a house in the northwest side of the village, and that this house will be burned if someone tries to save them. Diren enters the village with the fake book, and Avin and his party sneaks in, jumping over the fences to hide. The leader of the gang, Fatima, has taken another hostage that she keeps near her at all times, named Shannon. Avin saves the hostages trapped in the house, the soldiers make the gang escape, but they manage to take Shannon with them. The soldiers report that the gang might be hiding near Ziziki Cave, the place that Avin and his friends will have to go to next. But before that, talk to chief Rudo to get some rest. You can find him near the southern village entrance. When you've woken up fully healed, save your game and head south out of Tibri, and then east towards Ziziki Cave. You'll see a chest when you reach the path to Ziziki, so open it for a Sp Arcanum 1. Southeast of this chest you can find another one containing a Rare Potion. Continue further east to exit this area. In the next area, simply follow the only path there is, and walk into the cave when you see it. + Ziziki Cave Once inside the cave, head north to find a Defender. Let Martie equip it, and then head northwest to get to the next part of the cave. This area is a little difficult to maneuver in, so first go NORTH until you reach the wall then EAST, to find a chest with 200 Roze in. From this chest, go SOUTH and follow the path until you can exit this part of the cave at the other side of the water near the chest where you got 200 Roze. Walk left over a bridge, then when you see two smaller ones take the southern one to find a chest with Sp Arcanum 2 in. With that item found, take the northern small bridge instead and then walk north over yet another bridge. Do not forget to heal your party now, as you will soon be facing a battle. Follow the only path you can see from here, to another area, and continue running until Mile hears a voice somewhere in the dark. You will now see the bandits and Shannon, having perverse thoughts about her 'prince'. Fatima now escapes, and you will have to kill her grunts. +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Boss: Hatchet and Voodoo Men | |--------------------+--------------------+----------------------------------+ | HP: XXX | Recommended lv: 7 | | |--------------------+--------------------+ | | Use Avin and Mile's Deadly attacks on the Voodo Magicians, and then unleash| | Muse's Spirit Salamander to damage all the enemies at once. After doing | | this, there shouldn't be many enemies left, so just use plain old melee | | attacks in order to get rid of them all. This battle should be very easy | | If you haven't been avoiding monsters earlier. | | | | Reward: Sp Arcanum 3 | | | +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ Avin and friends will now head back to Tibri to deliver Shannon back to her mother and father. Muse and Dirken will now leave and travel back to the castle in the capital, which means one member less in your party. And here we go - Martie leaves too! Well, Only Mile and Avin is left now. Go to the chief's house to restore your health. If you're really hungry for some rewards, go all the way back to Phildin and see Meister in the guild, the bartender at the inn, and Elcy at the inn. You will earn 500 Roze, a healthy drink, and a Pearl Bracelet. Let Avin equip that one. If you talk to the other citizens in town, all of them seem to know you better now that you have freed the people of Tibri. Head back to Tibri when you are done, and exit using the northeastern exit. + Prayer Woods Before reaching the sage you are looking for to complete Lemuras' will, you will need to walk through prayer woods. Once there, walk east and then north to find two chests with a Green Crystal and 100 Roze. Don't bother equipping the crystal - sell it next time you get to a shop instead. From here follow the path northeast until the screen fades and you reach a new area. Go straight north for a chest with a Silver Anklet. Let Mile equip it. Also, in the middle northern part of this area is another chest, containing some Royal Powder for reviving dead party members. After you've got that, head northeast to the Sage's Mansion. + Sage's Mansion Walk inside the mansion, straight forward, to meet Dinerken. Avin gives him the Kabessa that he got from Lemuras and Dinerken explains that Avin's sister, Eimelle, is being targeted by bad people because she's supposed to be the daughter of the goddess Durga. She' supposed to exit in order to make Marcel's on behalf of the goddess, he says. Unfortunately, Avin does not get a lot of information about his sister, and has to leave after speaking to Dinerken. Start walking back to the capital Phildin. You will meet a girl and a man, saying that they want the kabessa that Avin handed over to Dinerken earlier. After getting trapped and hit unconscious by the two, Avin and Mile is saved by the lumberer. They are brought back to Shannon's house, and promise to return for dinner later. After that scene, head back to Dinerken's house, northeast of Tibri. When attacked by the girl and man, Mile will use a Riebe Leaf to break the spell. The two escape, and Dinerken tells you about the conflict between the god Bardus and Octum. Many, many years ago Bardus sealed Octum away, but had to part his body into six, and entrust the parts to the goddess Durga. This resulted in two religions, The Church of Bardus and Octum's Apostles. Avin regains the Kabessa when Dinerken tells him to bring it back to the church in Valkd. Don't worry about that for now, though. This is where chapter 2 starts, so watch the cut-scene. Avin and Mile now decide to have dinner at Shannon's house, so go there. ============================================================================== Dinerken Has Explained Our Goal [Avin005] ============================================================================== Items To Find -------------- Rare Potion Fine Shield Blue Crystal Chain Mail Large Chackram Items From Raffle Antidote 300 Roze Shannon has decided that she wants to follow Mile on a journey, so be quick and escape back to Phildin before she notices you (not that it is possible that she does after all) and then head northwest out of town towards Borun. + Capital Passage You will now be walking on the capital passage. Walk south until the screen fades, then on the west side there is a chest containing a Rare Potion. Continue south until you see the beach. Go down to the beach and look for a new chest containing a Fine Shield. Do not equip it, but save it for the next shop. Before doing anything else, make sure that you are level 8 and that Mile has learned the spell named 'La Rare', which is good to have when many characters need healing at once later in the game. Continue following the only path there is - northwest from the beach - and then ignore the next beach you get to. Between some trees you will see another chest containing a Blue Crystal. Let Avin equip it. From that chest, go west to enter Borun. As always, check the maps section of this document to get information about where to find things. + Borun Talk to the kids that come running towards you, and then if you want to, go to the raffle house in order to win some great prizes. You can also skip the raffles section below completely, if you don't want rewards that badly. ------------------------------------- The Borun Raffle Game [BoruRaf] ------------------------------------- On the upper floor of the raffle house you can buy turns (50 Roze each) and play the raffle game. There are ten different tickets to win - the best being 1st, the worst being 10th. It is also possible to not win any ticket at all. To make sure you don't end up like a poor old cow, save your game before playing the raffle game. Anyways, downstairs you can exchange smaller numbered tickets you've won into higher numbered ones, and also exchange tickets directly into prizes. Just like there's 10 different tickets to win upstairs, there's 10 prizes you can exchange the tickets into downstairs. As an example, you need the 3rd ticket to win the 3rd prize. Hope you understood my explanation. Below is a chart displaying the prizes you can win. 1st Prize - Treasure Sword Kasnard 2nd Prize - Targe 3rd Prize - Gold Anklet 4th Prize - Skuld Elixir 5th Prize - Theresia Water 6th Prize - Infernal Talisman 7th Prize - Bubble Talisman 8th Prize - Stimulant 9th Prize - Sp Arcanum 2 10th Prize - Rarer Potion The raffle game is based on choosing one out of three options, three times, before you get your result. In other words, you need to choose in all three out of nine different options each time you want to play. The choices are: First Choices ------------------- [1] Immediately - [2] After a moment - [3] After making a wish. Second Choices -------------------- [1] Slowly - [2] At normal speed - [3] quickly. Third Choices ------------------- [1] First Prize! - [2] Any Prize Will Do - [3] No wish. Now, the game is based around picking the correct combination of choices, and having luck at the same time. In other words, you will not get the same prize five times in a row, even if you pick out the same choices. However, specific combinations are required for you to have a decent chance of winning the best prizes. I recommend trying to get 1st Prize and 3rd Prize and equip them on your partymembers, and if you get any other ones (you will), you can earn lots of money by selling them in a tools or weapon shop. Below are the combinations you should try over and over again until you win the nice prizes. Be prepared to try each of the combinations at least ten times before winning what you want. To get 1st prize: [3] - [1] - [3] or [1] - [3] - [2] To get 2nd prize: [3] - [1] - [3] To get 3nd prize: [1] - [3] - [2] To get 4th prize: [2] - [1] - [2] To get 5th prize: [1] - [2] - [1] or [2] - [2] - [1] To get 6th prize: [2] - [2] - [1] To get 7th prize: [2] - [1] - [1] or [2] - [1] - [3] To get 8th prize: [2] - [1] - [1] To get 9th prize: [2] - [1] - [1] To get 10. prize: [2] - [3] - [3] or [3] - [3] - [1] Make sure you equip the Treasure Sword Kasnard on Avin. Try to get two 3rd prizes and equip one on Avin and one on Mile. The rest of the prizes, you can sell at the tools shop in Borun. Of course you can also farm up on the 1st prize sword and sell several of them for loads of money. It is also wise to save one of the Kasnard Swords for the next town, when a new character joins you. ------------------------------------- + Borun Now that you are done, or have skipped the raffle game head to the upper floor of the inn to see Jyamane, that you met back in Phildin earlier. He says that the writer Karamus has gotten some great ideas from Avin and that he is making a new book. Talk to Karamus who is also on this floor of the inn. Walk over to the the weapons shop to buy a Large Chackram for Mile and Chain Mail for each of them. You might also want to exchange your Pia into Roze. Save your game, and head northwest out of town towards New Borun. + Highway of Two Towns Walk northwest until Mile stops and gets shop by a man with a blowgun. Avin gets shot too. This man has some companions, and looks just like the Syamseal thugs from earlier. When you wake up, a man named Douglas says he found you lying on the ground, so he brought you to Bornun again. Now, after realizing that Mile's bell and the kabessa are gone, Douglas says that his thunder sword is gone too. When Douglas teams up with you, equip him with the Kasnard Sword, if you saved one extra from the raffle game. If not you, can go earn a new one. After talking to Douglas, go see Dr. Bandle at the upper floor of the inn. Talk to Meister in the guild to find out that the bandits are hiding in a place called Torkas Cave, which is somewhere south of the highway of two towns. Now go back to where Avin got shop by a blowgun and then go south from there to find a fork in the road. Once again, head south to Torkas Passage. + Torkas Passage Straight south of the entrance is a chest containing Sp Arcanum 1. Walk as far northwest as possible to find an Antidote in a chest. Head southwest not to reach the next area. After the screen has faded and gotten back again, follow the path southeast, and then go north to find a chest containing 300 Roze. Now go a little back and then follow the path northeast until you see the cave. Heal up using white magic before entering. ============================================================================== Entering Torkas Cave [Avin006] ============================================================================== Items To Find +------------------------------------+ | Theresia H2O | Raid Boomerang | | Antidote | Waroon Sword | | Riebe Leaf | Guardian Bell | | Forest Cape | Kabessa | | 500 Roze | Swordmaster 3 | | Ring Mail | | +------------------------------------+ Before you start here, know that you should absolutely fight as many battles as possible if you got the 1st prize sword from Borun. This is because you can easily win battles and at the same time earn lots of experience points. It is pretty dark inside Torkas Cave, just like in the cave where you fought the Syamseal gang earlier. Well, head northwest to find two chests, containing Theresia Water and a Raid Boomerang. Do not bother equipping the boomerang. Well then, head back to the entrance then east from there and run over a bridge to find a chest with an Antidote in. After getting that one, walk back over the bridge again, and from there northeast until you get to the next area. Follow the only path there is and when you get to a fork, head south to find another chest containing a Waroon Sword. If you have the Kasnard sword(s) you should not equip it, but if not, it is worth a try. Compare it to your current swords! Follow the path north, then east and when you get to a fork go south to find another Riebe Leaf. After that, save you game, then heal, UNEQUIP the Kasnard Sword and replace it with another one if Douglas has one of those godlike swords - Douglas will leave after the battle and take his equipment with him, you see. Now head north to the next area after hearing Mile's bell somewhere in the dark. This is where you'll meet the blowgun shooters, that have both the bell and the kabessa with them. They are talking about returning both to their boss Fatima. +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Boss: Blowgun Shooter, Hatchet Men | |--------------------+--------------------+----------------------------------+ | HP: XXX | Recommended lv: 10 | | |--------------------+--------------------+ | | Start by attacking the closest hatchet man by using Avin and Douglas' | | melee attacks. Mile should use his La Rare spell to heal his mates for | | now. The blowgun soldier will likely poison one of your party members, | | but this does not matter. If he puts someone to sleep however, have Mile | | use a Riebe Leaf on the sleeping one. Once the hatchet man you targeted | | is dead, simply use your deadly attacks to take down the blowgun shooter. | | The remaining hatchet man is easily beatable by using melee attacks. | | | | Reward: Forest Cape | | | +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ Mile gets his Bell back, and Douglas forces the blowgun shooter to tell him where the rest of the stolen treasures can be found. Once you've found all the chests, Douglas finds a strange-looking ornament, which turns out to be the kabessa. Douglas' Thunder Sword however, is nowhere to be found! It turns out that the Syamseal Gang has sold off the sword to a merchant named Garcia. Douglas now leaves, the screen fades and you will find yourself in Borun again. Your reward from Meister is 500 Roze. Mayor Doyle now comes, wanting Avin to represent Borun in the upcoming water match during the Idun Festival. Avin accepts. Save your game now. Walk over to the cafeteria part of the inn, talk to the lunch lady there to make her prepare some food, and then wait until a boy from the city Guia talks to Avin. His name is Rouca, and he is looking for his sister Rutice, that has gone missing. His sister is supposed to have black hair and black eyes. After eating, Avin, Rouca and Mile will split up to search for Rutice here in Borun. You will be in control of Avin as usual. There are some people that you will need to talk to now, just like when you were collection money for the church back in Phildin. Ask these people about Rutice ------------------------------ Rouca, near the dancing stage Tony, at the warf Kuman, in his company house Bartender, at the inn Now, after talking to those guys, walk towards the mayor's house to see Douglas asking about his sword, since the mayor wants to use it as a prize in the upcoming water match. Douuglas will leave, so speak to the mayor about Ruticce. The mayor has not seen her, so head back to the cafeteria part of the inn again to see Rouca again. Rouca has to leave back to his town again now, and Avin will start training for the water match. + Water Match It turns out that Douglas is Avin's oponent in the water match. When the two of them start fighting, Douglas is the one that looks strongest, but he falls through the floor, and looses the match. Avin receives 500 Roze, and the Thunder Sword that originally belonged to Douglas, without knowing that this is in fact Douglas' sword. When you finally regain control again, walk near the dancing stage again to see a boy named Paan to get the third part of the Swordmaster book series - Swordmaster 3. With all this done, walk north out of Borun and head for New Borun. + New Borun Once you arrive in New Borun after walking west over the extremely long Boreas Bridge, go behind the counter in the weapons shop and talk to the owner to find out that Douglas can be found in the local tavern, drinking strong stuff because he lost to Avin earlier in the water match. Well, walk over to the tavern - which is north of the inn - and talk to Douglas. Avin will fight a little with him, but Mile fixes everything so that Avin and Douglas become friends again. Douglas gets his sword back (but will not use it yet) and joins your party. Once he has joined, walk to the weapons shop again and buy one Ring Mail for each of your party members, and equip them. Also, Douglas will still have the equipment he had when he helped fighting the Syamseal gang earlier, so he should be well suited. If you do not have the Kasnard Sword, make sure you buy better weapons as well. When you are done talking to people in New Borun, head north towards Guia. ============================================================================== After Giving The Thunder Sword Back to Douglas [Avin007] ============================================================================== Items To Find ------------- Catalia Riebe Leaf Oracle Letter Heavy Mace Stimulant + Alte Highway The Kagero Karime monsters on this path have to be killed by using magic. Since their element it fire, use Avin's water magic on them. Follow the path northwest and then when you get to a fork, head north towards Tree Spirit Forest. + Spirit Forest Walk northwest to find some hunters talking to a girl. The hunters will leave after a while, and the girl explains that she lives her in the forest with her grandfather. Her name is Archem. She will now join your party, so that you can bring her back to her grandfather. If you still have the Forest Cape that you won in the battle against the Blowgun Shooter and the Hatchet Men earlier, equip it on her. Well now, head one screen north and you will arrive in Forest Area 1 (look at the map below). +---------------+ | | | | | Forest Area 4 | | | | | +---------------\ \ +----------------+ \---| | | | | Forest Area 3 |------> To Golda Mountain Path | | | | +--------.-------+ | | | | | | +--------'-------+ +-----------------+ | | | | | | | | | Forest Area 1 | | Forest Area 2 | | +-----------+ | | | | | +----------------+ +-----------------+ Northwest in area 1 you will find the catalia that should be equipped on Mile. In the eastern part of area 2, talk to Doctor Bandle, that you've met earlier too, and then east of Dr. Bandle go open a chest to find a Riebe Leaf. After that, head over to Area 4 to find the house that Archem and her grandfather live in. After some talking, the grandfather writes a letter that he asks Avin to go and deliver west of new Borun. Avin accepts the missions, and Archem once again joins the party, to oversee that Avin manages to deliver the letter. Before doing anything else, you can sleep by talking to Archem's granddad, and restore your health and mana points. Now walk back to New Borun to see the writer Karamus again. He's standing in the lower right corner, near the water. When Karamus has gotten his inspiration back, head to the weapons shop and buy a Heavy Mace for Archem. Now head west out of town, towards Benequia Monastery. + Holy Maiden Pass On this path simply walk the only way possible until you reach the monastery. + Benequia Monastery Walk north past the two sister guards and then talk to the sister that you meet in the next area. After talking to her, walk northwest, then east past a tower, and then you will reach the oracle that you came here to deliver the letter to. The oracle is a bad man, and tears the letter to pieces. Head back towards New Borun since he didn't want to do anything to stop the hunting of meefa animals. Before you manage to leave the site, Ollesia, that protected Avin at the beginning of the game, will stop him. Ollesia explains that Eimelle - who is Avin's sister if you don't remember - stayed at this monastery until her fifteenth birthday. She then escaped, leaving a letter where she has written that she had been hearing whispers from the goddess Durga. Ollesia does not have any idea where Eimelle is right now, and neither does the adventurer guild. Ollesia says that she will try to talk to Sir Croir in the capital in order to stop all the hunting in Spirit Forest. When heading back to New Borun using Maiden Pass, you will meet a man with a blue bandana covering his face. The man blesses Avin with a spell, because he says that New Borun is being 'punished' for something, and that Avin shouldn't stay there for too long. + New Borun A weird fog is floating in the air all over New Borun. There's nothing to do about all this yet, so head north out of town and to Archem's house in the forest after bringing Shannon to the inn. Shannon has followed Mile all the way from Tibri to New Borun, by the way. Back in the forest, Arhchem's grandfather explains that the poisonous air comes from a swamp south of New Borun. Because of the decrease in the number of meefa animals, the air is not purified anymore. It will now be Avin's task to go to Golda Cave in order to find the remaining meefas, that might be hiding there. So, head east from Forest Area 3 (check the map I put together earlier) to reach Golda Mountain Path. + Golda Mountain Path Walk east, then north to find a chest containing a Stimulant. East from that chest you will find the entrance to Golda Cave itself. ============================================================================== Dark Adventure in Golda Cave [Avin008] ============================================================================== Items To Find +------------------------------------+ | Reitel Bash | Sp Arcanum 3 | | Cachucha | 500 Roze | | 500 Roze | Wrist Band | | Sp Arcanum 2 | Quick Ravin 2 | | Quick Ravin 1 | Eimelle Note | | | | +------------------------------------+ Start by going straight north after hearing an animal voice to find a chest with a Cachucha that you can equip on someone. In my case, it was best matched with Douglas' current status. Go back south and then follow the path that leads southwest. This path will eventually continue to lead north, but do not fear, and follow it all the way until you see some water on your right side, and an entrance to another part of the cave near it. Heal up, and then go north to the next part of Golda Cave. Walk east to find a new chest containing a Reitel Bash. If you have the Kasnard Sword from the raffle, don't change it with this one. If you do not have the Kasnard, equip the weapon you just found. Go northwest now, and when you get to a fork, head south to find yet another chest. This one has 500 Roze in it. Back at the fork, head north then east. You will then get to a new fork. If you head south you can find a chest with a Sp Arcanum 2 in. If you head east, you will reach the entrance to the third part of the cave. Heal and save you progress before before entering. In the next part follow the only path available to see lots of nice meefa animals getting attacked by some weird monsters. Time for some beating. +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Boss: Big Beatens, Thin Bats | |--------------------+--------------------+----------------------------------+ | HP: XXX | Recommended lv: 13 | | |--------------------+--------------------+ | | First of all, use all your characters' Deadly attacks. Target the white | | Big beatens. Two Deadly attacks each should be enough to kill them off. | | In addition, Archem's Deadly Attack will hopefully have made the Thin Bats | | fall into slumber. Well then, start doing melee damage to the remaining | | Big Beaten, if there is one. Once it is dead, wake one of the bats by | | doing melee damage, and follow up with attacks until it, and the other | | sleeping one, is dead. | | | | Reward: Hermit Boots | | | +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ The meefas animals will now head back to New Borun and purify the air. After they have done that, Avin wants to head back to the monastery to tell the greedy oracle what really happened because he started paying for meefas fur. Before doing that, head to the entrance of the weapons shop and talk to Jyamane. He asks Avin to keep an eye on Karamus next time he sees him. In addition, Jyamane gives Avin the book Quick Ravin 1, written by Karamus. Head to Ramicum's house in the northwest corner. Suggest that he opens any shop you want to. I chose the lunch shop. Head west to the monastery and access the oracle's room. He's not there. A scene will show that the oracle gets attacked by the blue bandana man from earlier. The man says that 15 years ago, the oracle did something terrible, related to a girl named Dominique. Avin and friends now enter. Just before Douglas and the bandana man are going to fight, Ollessia enters, and recognizes the bandana man as 'Madram'. Madram now escapes. Soon after, it is decided that Douglas will escort the oracle to court, which means that Douglas now leaves the party. Head back to New Borun and talk to the mayor to get Sp Arcanum 3. Then, head to the upper floor of the inn to visit Shannon. Head north out of New Borun, and then Archem will leave the party. Head west towards Guia. When you reach yet another fork, head south. When you see a chest, open it for 500 Roze. From here follow the path until you reach Guia. + Guia After talking to the boy with yellow hair and the older girl, walk to the northwestern part of this area to meet to boy and the girl again. The boy's name is Rael and the girl is named Elenoa. They both belong over at the local sorcery school. Head over to the tools shop and get a Wrist Band for Mile, and one for Avin as well. You might also want to turn your Pia into Roze. Head south of the inn to once again find Karamus, having a hard time with his writing. After talking to him, head northwest out of town and towards the factory. + Factory Walk a little north, then down some stair and try to open the first door you see. Some masked people will walk out of the door. Walk inside that door and talk to the plant manager. He has heard about Avin and Mile from Rouca, the boy that is looking for his sister Rutice. Anyways, the manager asks you to do him a favor - checking five blast furnaces for errors. So, head out of the manager's room, and look at the map below. You need to talk to the workers located near each of the blast furnaces. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | | |-------- | |Furnace 5 | |-------- -------- -------- | | Furnace 2 Furnace 4 | | -------- -------- | | -------- -------- | | Furnace 1 +---------------+ Furnace 3 | | -------- |Manager's Room | -------- | | +---------------+ | | | | | +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ When you have talked to all the workers, and confirmed that all of the furnaces are working nicely, head back and speak to the manager in his room again. Rouca has returned now, speaking with his boss. Rouca says that he heard a rumor at the local tavern, about a man from Balloa that passed a girl with beautiful red hair on the highway. The girl was traveling towards a place named Koruna Village, he says. Head back to the entrance of the inn now to find Jyamane. He will give you the book named Quick Ravin 2. Now head out of town, using the southwestern exit. Before he manages to leave, a girl stops Avin. She has a... LETTER FROM EIMELLE that she gives to Avin! The letter says: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | | | My dear brother, | | I heard you were looking for me. | | | | I am now staying with an old lady called Rao, | | who lives in the southeastern part of Guia. | | | | Please come and see me. | | Love, Eimelle. | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Head southeast to where you first entered Guia, and walk into the house that was locked earlier. ============================================================================== A Surprise Letter From Eimelle [Avin009] ============================================================================== Items To Find -------------- Kabessa Brass Key Red Book Swordmaster 4 2000 Roze Kite Shield After talking to Rao in the house that was locked earlier, Rao will start making some tea for Avin. Rael from earlier is peeking from outside, and gets some kind of idea. Back in the house, Avin and Mile drinks a lot of tea, and suddenly they get very sleepy. It turns out that Rao tricked them with sleeping medicine! Rao now transforms into her real self - the blackhaired girl that tried to steal the kabessa from Sage Dinerken earlier in the game! A lot of things happen, don't you think? Anyways, here comes Madram - known as the blue bandana man earlier - and runs into the house. The girl and Madram fight a little, and the kabessa falls down to the floor. Rael and Rouca now returns to the house as well, and Madram escapes. It turns out that this girl is Rouca's sister, as he recognizes her! So, the blackhaired girl was Rutice after all. Rouca and Rael now takes Mile and Avin to the inn. Rouca give back the Kabessa that he found on floor in Rao's house. Rouca now leaves, and Rael joins your party. Head over to the weapons shop and buy a Celtis for Rael, Cross Blades for Mile, and Metal Jackets for all three of them. Now you can leave Guia for real, but using the southwestern exit. + Anol Highway First go north, then follow the path until you see another fork. From there go north towards Koruna Village. + Koruna Mountain Path Walk north all the time until you get to the next area. Once there, head northwest to reach Koruna Village. + Koruna Go the the northeastern part of the village and talk to Watts. He says that he has seen a girl with long red hair entering the local Ice Palace some time ago. Watts will tell you to go into the chapel in the southwestern part of the village, and get the key there. Go there and take the key in the bookshelf there. Now you can open the gate north of Watts' House. Well, before leaving, sleep in Misel's house by talking to her. Her house is west of the gate. Head north, walking over the snow to the next area, and then continue walking north until you reach the Ice Palace. + Ice Palace Head northeast into the next area, and Avin will mention that this place actually is the Ice Palace - The Palace of Durga. Rael says that this place is over a thousand years old, and that this is his first time visiting. Head north to an altar where a black object can be found. This is a broken divine object. A Red Book now appears, and Rael takes it. Once you have the book, go back to Koruna Village and the chapel there. Rael needs some help in order to read the book found in the Ice Palace, and he suggests a lady named Elenoa from the Sorcery School. Go to the school by walking as far south as possible from Koruna, even south past the entrance to Guia. + Sorcery School Walk into the school, past the receptionist, and then a little right to see Fatima again, talking to Elenoa about the Book of Life. Fatima now escapes and Elenoa joins your party. Equip her if you have something that fits her, but do not spend time on shopping stuff for her now. Head back to the chapel in Koruna Village now - all the way up north, you remember. While travelling there, be sure to use Elenoa's magic to help you in the battles you fight in. When you pass the entrance to Guia, Max from the guild will talk to you, and then walk off to the school. Follow him there and talk to him to get the Swordmaster 4 book. + Koruna Upon entering, some dogs will chase their owner. Walk north to find Rael. He can explain that the Red Book was actually The Book of Life that the Syamseal gang has been searching for. Rael now runs off north. When Avin gets to the river, where Rael is, he will be attacked by some dogs, but that's not dangerous at all. After spinning around a little, head back to the southern part of town. A masked man will steal the book of life, and then Fatima and her Syamseal gang will appear as well. It appears that the syamseal are not working with the masked men after all. Fatima runs off after the masked man has escaped, saying something about the masked man belonging to 'Borgeid'. Head back to Guia now. + Guia A monster is trying to kill a worker. Avin stops is, and realizes that the masked man that stole the Book of Life is here as well. The man summons some monsters, so kill them off by using magic attacks. Avin now has to clean the whole town of monsters. There are monsters in about all of the houses in town, so prepare for a serious number of fights. When you're done, Rael will say that you've trashed most of them. Now go straight to the factory area to find out that it's burning. A fat sorcerer is threatening the Plant Manager, since the manager does not want to make weapons for him. Rouca is here as well. He tries to attack the sorcerer, but is slashed with a sword by one of the guards. When the fat sorcerer tries to kill Rouca, Avin stops his spell by dashing into it. The fat sorcerer and his guards are members of Octum's Apostles, just like Rutice (the blackhaired girl) is. Rutice now comes, and says that the fat man shouldn't kill Avin, Rouca and friends. Rutice now makes it clear that the fat man is actually the 'Borgeid' that the masked man that stole the Book of Life was talking about. Madram show up as well, and he kills the fat sorcerer's guards. Part of the factory now blows up, and the screen fades out. Some time later, Rutice leaves town, and Rouca wakes up. After the scene, head over to the guild and talk to Meister in order to receive 2000 Roze. Now head west out of Guia, and continue walking west. Elenoa and Rael will leave the party, but keep going west. After getting to a new area the moment after Rael and Elenoa left, there will be a chest to the north containing a Kite Shield. Do not equip it. Head southwest from here, and then there will be another chest with a Red Crystal on Avin's right side. Continue west and you will reach Tia bridge. You will meet two travelers that are headed to Guia. Let them walk there. Don't bother following them. After passing the bridge, you will have to walk south until you see a sign. From there, head west towards Balloa. You will arrive there before too long has passed. ============================================================================== After Reaching Balloa [Avin010] ============================================================================== Items To Find ------------- Cuir Bouili Swordmaster 5 Kuerupo Quick Ravin 3 Baron's Note Now that you have reached Balloa, head to the upper floor of the inn first and talk to the merchant Garcia, that bought Douglas' sword from the syamseal gang earlier. After reading the hilarious engrish dialogue, head out of the inn again, and to the weapons shop. There, you should buy Cuir Bouilis for both Avin and Mile. Now, head west to the port. At the port, head a little west to talk to the man with blue hair guarding the passage, then head a little further west to run up the stairs there. The stairs do in fact start more southwest from the guard, then west. Well, once you've walked up the stairs, talk to Karamus to give him some ideas like usual. Go down the stairs again and head south. Talk to the girl with yellow hair to hear about a certain tower, and then head back to town again. Now go out of town using the entrance/exit you first came from and then kill the monsters there. The travellers you met on the bridge earlier now return to town. The well-dressed one of them is named Baron Conrad and rules Balloa. The sailor dude is named Thomas, and explains that he is working on a boat called the Planetos. Baron Conrad now joins the party, and says that Mile and Avin can come to eat dinner at his house if they want to. His house is located just after the entrance to the port. You know, the man with blue hair was guarding the entrance to the Baron's house earlier. Well, now equip Baron Conrad with the Kite Shield you found earlier, buy a Cuir Bouili for him, and put the Red Crystal as well as another accessory on him as well. Then, head for his house at the port and have dinner. Conrad will introduce you to his lovely, hot and beautiful (not as hot as Muse though) wife Theresa. AND HERE WE GO - EIMELLE IS STAYING IN CONRAD'S HOUSE AS WELL!! It's been eight long years, but now Avin met Eimelle again. Todays ferryboat to Valkd has already left, so Conrad will have Eimelle follow Avin and Mile outside for a while. First, head all the way south to the southmost warf to have Mile fall into the water and get soaked. Then, walk up the stairs near Conrad's house and talk to the sailors inside the shack left of the upper part of the stairs. They will give Avin the Swordmaster 5 book. You can also talk to Thomas once here, but it won't give you anything special. Head back to town now and relax there for a while. Avin runs off to get some beer to drink. Well, at least something to drink. And now, Shannon appears again. This made me laugh :P Anyways, Shannons sees Mile, who is her hero, talking to Eimelle, and then she starts to cry and runs away. After drinking some honey water, talk to the merchant outside of the inn. He does not really sell anything, but it's possible to ask about 'Sexy Underwear', which should be fun. If you ask the merchant about all his items, and then talk to him once again, you can get an item from him for real. Go back to Baron Conrad's house now, to have dinner for real. Eimelle now tells Avin about her time in the monastery and that something weird happened when she went to the Ice Palace. There, she heard Durga talk to her, and she recieved a shiny crystal before waking up in Baron's house. The crystal is a sacred treasure like the Kabessa, and is named Kuerupo. She now gives it to Avin. The next day, a man shouts to Conrad that a mine has been attacked by monsters. Conrad joins your party. Before doing anything else, head to the house west of where the sailor gave you the Swordmaster 5 book and talk to Jyamane there. He will give you Quick Ravin 3. Now head out of Balloa and then go east until you reach a fork. Head south there towards the Silver Mine. + Road To Richness Walk south, then east. You will find a path leading north to a chest with 500 Roze in. Grab them, and then continue east. Walk past a gate, some wooden barrels and then head into the mine itself. + Balloa Silver Mine Go northwest to a new area and fight the blue and red monsters there. A group of workers will now be able to escape. Go back to the entrance and then take the northeastern path. Once you get to a new area, go straight north and kill the monsters you meet. Go back to Balloa now when all the workers have been saved. + Balloa When Avin arrives, the town has been invaded by the syamseal gang. It was the gang that unleashed the monsters in the silver mine. Two hatchet man thugs will attack after a small conversation, so take them down by using standard melee attacks. After beating the two thugs, head over the the adventurer guild to find out that the syamseal gang are making chaos over at the port. Head to the port, then to see if you can stop them after getting healed by Doctor Bandle at the upper floor of the inn. Over at the port, Avin gets attacked by lots of hatchet men. Use magic attacks to kill them all. Theresa now comes running, saying that Eimelle has been kidnapped by Fatima of the syamseal gang! Save your game now. Heal up using Mile's spells and then southwest to the wharfs to meet lots of hatchet men, and their boss who is a voodoo magician. Use a deadly attack on the voodoo magician and kill the hatchet men in any way you feel like. During this battle, it is smart to heal your characters with Mile's La Rare Spell. The ferry that Eimelle was kidnapped on, managed to leave the wharf during the battle. Thomas appears, and says that he will do what he can in order to help. Thomas' ship - The Planetos - will now be used to chase Fatima and her servants. When The Planetos catches up to Fatima's ship, her men will try to stop Avin, so prepare for a battle. Use a deadly attack on the Blowgun Shooter, and then take down the voodoo magician and the hatchet men using melee attacks. Conrad's spirit magic is great to use as well. Be extremely careful, so that you have healed your party with La Rare before you win this battle! There is a boss battle after this one, you see. +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Boss: Fatima | |--------------------+--------------------+----------------------------------+ | HP: 400 + | Recommended lv: 17 | | |--------------------+--------------------+ | | Hopefully, you remembered to heal all three party members before winning | | the battle you fought just a moment ago. Now, if you have some Deadly | | attacks left, use them to take down a Voodo Magician (green hair). If not, | | then do melee attack on the two voodoo magicians instead, until both are | | dead. Use La Rare to heal if needed, as always. Fatima will just use | | healing spells on her comrades, so do not attack her yet. Instead, kill | | off the hatchet man after you're done with the voodoos. When Fatima is | | alone after you've killed her men, she might use the Shine Bullet attack | | that damages all your party members. Use La Rarer to heal after | | each time Fatima uses that spell. Use melee attacks and Deadly ones | |(should have been charged to full by now). Remember, heal lots with Mile | | and let the others attack with melee and deadly attacks. | +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ Baron Conrad now arrests Fatima, since she tried to kidnap Eimelle. The rest of the gang is also arrested back in Balloa. Now it is time to get onto the Planetos again and follow it to a place named Theta. Baron Conrad gives Avin a letter to deliver to the army captain over at Theta. Shannon also wants to come on the boat, but she's to late to catch the ride. After arriving at Theta, Avin has to eat some food, and then go alone to deliver the letter to the army captain. Read about that in the next section of this walkthrough. ============================================================================== From Theta And Towards Valkd [Avin011] ============================================================================== Head out of the inn and east to the pier. Walk north when you get out of the town and run into the person named Hundt. Someone with blue hair is chasing Hundt. Ignore the two of them for now, and instead head northwest to get closer to the sea. Walk as far east as possible to find Captain Malion, standing on a stage, shouting to two soldiers. Talk to him to make him and the soldiers fix a monster cart for you. While the three of them are fixing the cart, go back towards the inn again. You will run into Rutice and her helper Bernard. Avin and Bernard fools around a little, and Bernard is pushed into the house that Hundt is hiding inside. Bernard takes Hundt hostage, and Avin is forced to surrender in order to Hundt to survive. Bernard hits Avin in the head, and Avin faints. Bernard and Rutice now run off, when Mile and Eimelle comes to investigate why Avin's taking so long when he was just supposed to deliver a letter. After waking up again, Avin and friends leaves town using the Monster Cart! Wooosh! Woooooosh! Joyful Ride! Yeah! Rutice now stops the cart and says that Avin should turn back, because some guys from Octum's Apostles are waiting for him some miles from the current location of the cart. The whole thing ends with Avin and friends crashing into a mountain and fainting. Woosh! Woooosh! Not so joyful ride anymore! Nooh! Now Master Bellias appears - the big boss of Octum's Apostles himself - and kills Bernard for being carefree and almost killing Eimelle. Rutice arrives too late to save Bernard. Bellias' guards now attack Rutice and Avin with flames, and make them faint. Heh, Avin faints a lot, doesn't he? Bellias now attacks Mile when he tries to protect Eimelle. Mile is thrown into the rocks, and starts bleeding - lots! Eimelle, Bellias and his guards, in addition to Mile's body - now disappear. Mile's guardian bell is the only thing left. Sage Gawaine from many years ago appears, and he has some guards with him as well. After some time, Avin wakes up in a room with red floor. ============================================================================== Eimelle and Mile Has Gone Missing [Avin012] ============================================================================== Items To Find +------------------------------------+ |Guardian Bell | Quick Ravin 4 | |Half Plate | Dark | |Kuerupo | Rick Shield | |Kabessa | Half Plate | |Battle Beak | Rarer Potion | +------------------------------------+ So, now that Avin has waked up, walk out of the room to meet Oracle Kalion. He says that Avin has been sleeping for three days after Mile and Eimelle disappeared after getting attacked by Bellias. Oracle Kalion says that this place is the Grand Cathedral of Valkd. The oracle will take Avin downstairs to Gawaine and Sir Croir, so that Avin can finally deliver the kabessa and the kuerupo. Gawaine explains that Mile and Eimelle were kidnapped, and gives Avin the Guardian Bell that Mile left. When you regain control of Avin, walk straight right, just to talk to the real Oldwoman Rao. Remember that Rutice acted as her earlier? From the room where Oldwoman Rao is standing in, head into a door to the northeast. In the next room, make your way as far west as possible, until you reach Reference Room 1. The oracle there says that this is the name of the room. In Reference Room 1, there is a book with a red '!' on. Read that book, to find out more about Octum's Apostles. Now go back to the hall south of where Gawaine is, and then go far northwest to return to Avin's room. Go to the room left of Avin's room to see Rutice. Go talk to Gawaine when Rutice is done talking. Now head south of the room where Oldwoman Rao was standing earlier to find a girl and an oracle talking about magic. The oracle says that below this room, there is a prison. When the oracle leaves, walk down the stairs, then head right, and then as far north as possible to find Oracle Avarice and Madram. Avin follows Madram after a short scene. You will arrive at the eastern part of Valkd City. + Valkd Head over to the weapons shop in western Valkd to buy a Half Plate for Avin. Go back to eastern Valkd and head south out of town towards Brizahc. Follow the path south until you reach a junction. Head west after the flashback. Walk over Dominus bridge. + Dios Shrine Path Follow the path northwest. Nothing special to find here. Avin now reaches a darker area, and the music disappears. He now finds out that a huge magic wall is stopping him from reaching cathedral, where the Octum Apostles have their headquarters. Borgeid now appears, and Avin manages to hurt him with his sword. Just before Borgeid is about to kill Avin, Rutice appears and stops Borgeid's fire spell. Gawaine now appears and takes Avin and Rutice back to Valkd. Borgeid escapes. Sir Croir now suggests that Avin goes to Truth Island to see if he can find some information there, and gives him back the kabessa and the kuerupo. + Valkd Go talk to Rutice while she's sleeping in her own room (left of Avin's room) and then exit the cathedral by using the main gate. That lovely girl Shannon has gotten to Valkd too now, as you can see. Avin tells Shannon that he believes Mile is dead. After Shannon has gone away, equip Gawaine with whatever you have in your inventory and then go to the weapons shop to buy a Half Plate and a Battle Beak for him. After equipping the weapon and armor, head the the east part of Valkd and exit towards Theta. + Holy Capital Highway With Gawaine in your party, you will be able to deal with enemies easily, since Gawaine does lots of damage with melee attacks, and can heal using white magic as well. Follow the path northeast, fight all the enemies you meet and you will eventually reach Theta. + Theta Head to the inn to find Jyamane. He gives you Quick Ravin 4, and says that the author Karamus has escaped from him once again. Head north from the inn, and Gawaine will tell Rutice to show herself, since she has been following since you left Valkd. After talking about how her parents died, Rutice joins Avin's party! Yeah! Equip Rutice with two accessories from your inventory and then head to the weapons shop to buy a 'Dark' and a Rick Shield for her. Oh, don't forget to get a Half Plate too! Now head east to the docks, and meet up with Gawaine again in the house there. Now, go back one area and exit Theta by using the northwestern exit. + Icon Passage Head north over a small bridge, then straight southwest to find a chest containing a Rarer Potion. Continue to the next area by going northwest. On the right side in the next area, you will find Claymore. Do not equip it if you have the Kasnard Sword. If not, let Avin use it. Go north to yet another area. You will now reach Dorx a little further ahead! + Dorx Go to the tools shop to tell Karamus about your adventures. Then walk to Kabol's house. Speak to him and sleep there to restore your health. Go northeast towards the pier and speak to the paladin there, in order to board the boat to Truth Island. ============================================================================== A Vision At Truth Island [Avin013] ============================================================================== Items To Find +------------------------------------+ |Swordmaster 6 | Rick Shield | |2000 Roze | Half Plate | |Beast's Horn | Marvel Mail | |Quick Ravin 5 | Rarer Potion | |Emperor Sword | | +------------------------------------+ Once the boat has arrived, head north, talk about the ruins with Gawaine, and then head into the huge to the north. Walk down the stairs, then head to the northwestern part of the room to walk down another set of stairs. You will now meet a man in a robe. The man is named Michel. After the scene with six treasures and one sword, Michel will run away and Gawaine takes Avin and Rutice back to Valkd. End of chapter. Sir Croir tells Avin to go to Quitt, which is west of Valkd. Well, from Sir Croir, head one room south then west to speak with a man named Kurason. He gives you the Swordmaster 6 book. Try to head west out of Valk towards Quitt. An Oracle will tell you to head to the northeastern exit of town to fight some monsters that have broken into Valkd. Go there to meet Douglas. Fight the monsters 'til they die. After drinking some beer at the tavern, Meister comes and says that there are more monsters nearby, attacking a merchant at Taruga Highway. Meister gives Avin 2000 Roze. Now, if you have a Kasnard Sword, equip it on Douglas, and make sure you equip him with accessories as well. If you don't have anything for him, go buy a weapon for him. Go to the eastern part of Valkd, find Karamus there and talk to him, and then exit using the southern exit. + Taruga Highway Head south until you meet the merchant and a woman named Lucias, that Douglas knows from earlier. Lucias studied under the same master as Douglas earlier. She now leaves, and Douglas pulls off a horn from the dead beast. Head back to the guild and deliver the beast's horn as a proof that the beast is dead and the merchant is safe. Outside of the guild, the merchant and a almost invisible shadow that follows him from behind, approaches Avin and friends, asking them to go to a place named Pregon Cave in the west. The merchant goes into the guild, and the shadow goes west out of town. Walk into the cathedral again, and to the room on your right hand, just before you get to Sir Croir's room. Jyamane is there, and he has Quick Ravin 5 for you. Now exit town using the western exit, and head towards Quitt. + Quitt Byway Go north, and you will run into Lucias. She spots a boy with green hair named Jimmy. After she does, it's time for a battle, with Lucias on your team. Just use normal melee attacks to kill all the monsters. Lucias now joins the party so head back to Valkd and buy her a Emperor Sword, Rick Shield and Half Plate. Remember to equip them on her. Now go back to where you met Lucias, and head north towards Pregon Cave. You wanna find that Jimmy boy, remember. + Pregon Mountain Path Just follow the path northeast, and you will get to the cave entrance. + Pregon Cave After running into Jimmy, go right, even though Rutice talks about going left. You will find a chest, containing... NOTHING. The treasure chest originally belonged to the merchant from earlier, so someone might have stolen what was supposed to be inside. Now heal, and go back. Head left instead of right from where you met Jimmy. After getting to the next area, you will reach a fork. Head west to find a chest with a Marvel Mail in. Let Avin equip it. Now go back to the fork, and head south, even south past a bridge to find a chest containing a Rarer Potion. Now head west over the bridge. Go northwest, into a new area. Heal up, then walk southwest. Avin and friend will be surrounded by enemies, so kill them all like usual. Lucias' Spirit Jin spell is very useful. Now save your game before walking north. You will meet a man with a hood, who is a member of Octum's Apostles. The man summons lots of monsters, and is about to kill Avin and friends when Jimmy appears behind him, and hits him in the head so that the monsters disappear. The Octum's Apostles member escapes, and Jimmy tries to get away too, before Lucias stops him. After the scene with Lucias and Jimmy leaving, walk southwest to find a Circlet in a chest, then backtrack and leave Pregon Cave. Remember where you met Lucias before walking into the cave? Go west from there! Follow the path to a new area, pick up a Rarer Potion in the northwestern corner, and then head southwest until you see a sign. West of that sign, you will find Quitt Village. ============================================================================== First Visit To Quitt Village [Avin014] ============================================================================== Items To Find --------------- Luna Blade Katar Night Shield Scale Mail Finally! Now there is a sword that is more powerful than the Kasnard Sword available for Avin and Douglas. Buy two Luna Blades at the weapons shop! Get a Katar and a Night Shield for Rutice. If you can afford it (I had to sell some old stuff myself) you should also buy a Scale Mail for each of your party members. Go talk to Chief Godal in his house to find out that a monster has appeared in the middle of the sea, preventing the workers to get the gold that Quitt Village needs. After speaking to Godal, go down to the docks. Here you will meet a girl named Lita that wants to play with Avin and friends after they are done investigating. Well, go see Oldwoman Ourma in the southern part of the docks to get some sleep. After sleeping, head northwest out of Quitt, and towards Scotia Shrine. + Scotia Shrine Straight west of where you enter the area, there is a small stone with a '!' sign on. Have Rutice read what the stone says, and then go see Oldwoman Ourma down at the docks again. Ourma explains that the real Scotia Shrine is hidden below the earth, and that a legend says it is possible to enter the real shrine by having someone in a certain lineage follow to the shrine's location. Ourma says that Cerine in Quitt is of this lineage, so go back to Quitt and see Cerine. Cerine explains that she does not think she has the power to open the shrine, even though she is a member of the correct lineage. So, go see Oscar down at the first part of the docks, to hear about an adventurer that is on his way to Quitt, in order to deal with the monster in the middle of the sea. Back in Quitt, Lucias and Jimmy will meet you. Lucias is the adventurer that was hired to kill the sea monster after all. Lita and Jimmy now goes to play hide and seek. Go to see Chief Godal and Lucias now, in Godal's house. After the conversation, Lucias will join Avin's party, since Avin and friends are now hired to kill the sea monster as well. Head down to the docks for a surprise ride on the.... well.. on the wharf! The wharf is named 'The Scotia' and can float on the sea like a ship. + The Scotia After The Scotia has started moving, head southeast and talk with Lucias. After that, head back north and talk to Oscar, the captain. Watch the conversation between Douglas and Lucias, and then the sea monster starts bumping into The Scotia from below. The monster does not attack the people onboard The Scotia however, and instead it says that it is a water spirit. It says that there is a certain person that is able to open the path to the shrine north of Quitt, and that this person is in danger. Then, the monster leaves. Oscar now sails back to Quitt Village. Cerine and Chief Godal explains that Lita was taken to the shrine by some masked men, and that these masked ones hurt Jimmy badly when he tried to protect Lita from them. Jimmy says that a fat sorcerer was the one that attacked him. This has to be Borgeid, Avin thinks. Godal says that the entrance to the shrine has been opened - which means that Lita was the person that the water spirit was talking about earlier. Buy a Luna Blade and Scale Mail for Lucias, and remember to equip them. Head northwest out of Quitt now. ============================================================================== Charging Into Scotia Shrine [Avin015] ============================================================================== Items To Find +------------------------------------+ |Helios Blade | Rarest Potion | |Rarer Potion | Theresia H20 | |Antidote Ore | Dashing Boots | |Arcuvas | Asura Charm | |Royal Powder | Dellepied | |Swordmaster 7 | 3000 Roze | +------------------------------------+ Kill the two masked guards that are waiting at the entrance and then head down the stairs leading down into the ground. Head down another set of stairs. Go south from here, and down all the stairs you see, to end up with a chest containing a Helios Blade. Let Avin equip it. Now, head back up all the stairs until you reach the place you went south from. Go west now, and if you want a Rarer Potion, walk south when you get to the fork. If not, or after you have the potion, go as far west as possible and then down some stairs. At the bottom of the stairs you will see a gate in a room formed like a square. Head north through the gate and you will see a chest behind a fence. Head west from here, and follow the path until you see a chest on your left side. It contains an Antidote Ore. Continue north after opening that chest, and then when you see some stairs, head right (even though it looks like there is no path here) to open that chest you saw behind the fence earlier. The chest contains an Arcuvas that Avin should equip. Now head back left and down the stairs. Walk down another set of stairs, close to the ones you just came down from, and then you will see two gates. Take the western one to find a new chest containing Royal Powder, and then go back and take the other gate. Walk north, down some stairs and you will see the entrance of a room that is much lighter than the areas you have been walking through just now. Go into that room. This area has water on both sides, and two chests. One on each side. Open them to find a Rarest Potion and a Theresia H20. Go straight north through several similar areas, and walk onto the warp portal at the far northern edge. It is impossible not to reach this portal if you just walk straight north from the two chests. After using the warp portal, go northeast to find a chest with Dashing Boots in.Do not equip them. Then, go northeast from the portal to find a chest with an Asura Charm in. Now heal and save your game, and head north from the warp portal. Walk onto the moving block to transport to the other side of a gap, and then walk into another warp portal in the northern part of the area. Watch the scene with Borgeid talking to the water spirit, before he manipulates the spirit to attack Avin and friends! +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Boss: Scotia | |--------------------+--------------------+----------------------------------+ | HP: 800 + | Recommended lv: 22 | | |--------------------+--------------------+ | | This battle is against Scotia and four Water Spirit servants. A nice | | strategy to use is to first attack the Water Spirits using the Electro | | Cube attacks that Avin and Rutice have, since they can hit two enemies | | each time the spell is used. Lucias should use her spirit jin to damage | | all the enemies at once. Douglas should just provide backup with melee | | attacks against the spirits. When you take damage, use Rutice to heal | | everyone using La Rarer. In the end, it is Scotia's Life Water attack that| | will damage you, so Rutice will mainly be used for healing in the middle | | of the battle. Try and take the spirits out without using Deadly Attacks, | | and once they are all dead, unleash four deadly attacks on Scotia itself! | | | | - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -| | | | That was what the GOOD strategy sounded like. If you want to be cheap | | (I have been since 2nd time I played this game too) you can just unleash | | all four Deadly attacks against Scotia at the beginning of the battle. | | If your characters are at level 22, this should be enough to win. | | | +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ After Avin wins the battle, the water spirit is set free from the monster's body, and gives Avin the Dellepied, which is the third sacred treasure after the kabessa and the kuerupo! Avin will now also be able to use water spirit magic in battles. Lita now wakes up again, and everyone will head back to Quitt in order to see Jimmy. After the scene with Jimmy, Douglas and Lucias are going to fight, to see who's the strongest one of them. If Douglas wins, Lucias has to help Avin with his adventures, and if Lucias wins, Douglas has to give her the Thunder Sword. Douglas wins! After leaving town, go back again and talk to Cerine to get Swordmaster 7. Chief Godal has 3000 Roze for you to make things even better. Now head towards Valkd. When you're almost there, you will run into Shannon. Take her back to town and have her sleep in the cathedral. ============================================================================== Back In Valkd With Shannon [Avin016] ============================================================================== Items To Find -------------- Swordmaster 8 Swordmaster 9 Manager Note Shannon will now sleep in the room that Rutice used earlier. Go talk to Sir Croir to find out that the next shrine is Idun Shrine in Garden Hill. But first, you need to go to Guia and speak with the Plant Manager there. Well, head northeast out of Valkd and go to Theta. For now, just walk through Theta and north to Dorx. + Dorx In Dorx, speak to the villagers. A man will give you Swordmaster 8. + Theta Talk to Jyamane at the inn to get Quick Ravin 6, then talk to Karamus who is also staying at the very same inn. Karamus has been writing about Lucias' adventures earlier, just like he does with Avin's adventures now. After talking to him, head to the pier and talk to the lady there. She says that your voyage has been paid for already. Just before Avin and friends leave on the ship, Meister from Valkd comes running. He says that Valkd has been attacked by monsters. Douglas has to go back to help out, and leaves the party. After the voyage, you will arrive in Balloa. + Balloa Go to Baron's house and talk to Theresa. After that, head north out of Balloa and to Anol Highway. + Anol Highway Follow Anol Highway, and do not go south towards the Silver Mine. There's a long way to run, but you will reach Baron Conrad once you get to the bridge where you first met him earlier in the game, after leaving Guia. Baron Conrad is surrounded by masked men from the Octum's Apostles. First, three assassins will attack you. +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Mini Battle: Three Assassins | |----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | | | Use your first turn to walk a little backwards with all of your characters | | and then wait for the assassins to move closer to you. Next turn, attack | | them with Avin and Rutice's Electro Cube and Lucias' Spirit Jin. Now | | continue using Avin's Electro Cube, and make Lucias do melee attacks. | | Rutice should heal everyone when needed to, and use Electro Cube when | | healing is not needed. This battle should no be too hard. | | | | After the battle, heal using Rutice's white magic, and refill MP by using | | potions | +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Mini Battle: Sorcerer | |----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | | |Use Baron's, Avin's and Lucias' spirit attacks. Let Rutice heal when needed | |This should make the assassins die after a few turns. As for the sorcerer, | |you can easily take him out by just using a Deadly Attack or two. | +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ After walking back to Baron's house and explaining the situation to him, go see Meister in the guild to tell him about what has happened, and then walk north out of Balloa, and walk over the bridge where you saved Baron some minutes ago. When you reach the fork where you can go north to Koruna, south to the sorcerer school and east to Guia, go south towards the school. + Sorcery School Southeast of the school building itself, is President Sion's chamber. Talk to Sion to get the Swordmaster 9 novel. Now you can finally head over to Guia. + Guia Rutice says that she does not deserve to see her brother Rouca yet, so she will leave the party and go drink beer at the inn while Avin and Lucias do their thing. Head over to the factory now and go into the plant manager's office. The manager and Rouca explains that they do not have enough ore to make the sword that Avin wants. The manager will now give you a letter that is addressed to Sion over at the sorcerer school south of Guia. Lucias and the manager will now leave so that Lucias can deal with some monsters inside Guia Mine. Go to the lower floor of the inn in Guia now and have Rutice join you again. Now go west out of Guia, then south to the sorcery school. Deliver the letter to president Sion. Sion says that the letter from the plant manager asked if the school could assist the factory with magic in order to make the sword that Avin needs. Sion says that Elenoa would be able to help with this, but that she is currently in Koruna Village. Well then, head north from the school, past the entrance to Guia, and then you will arrive in Koruna. + Koruna It appears that Elenoa is not in the village after all, so continue north out of the village, and go to the Ice Palace. Do not stop until you reach the altar in the middle of the palace. Rael and Elenoa are here, so speak to them. Suddenly, the broken artifact on the ground activates, and Avin's three sacred treasures are pulled into the air. Avin now sees a vision, involving Esperius (the priest that protected Avin at the beginning of the game), Lemuras, Bernard and Dominique (the previous Durga's daughter that Madram failed to protect). And then, Mile appears too. This place makes the dead able to talk to the living, which means that Mile really died earlier. Well, now Elenoa and Rael will join your party, so head back to Guia again. + Guia The gatekeeper stops Avin once he has entered town, and says that there has been an incident in Guia Mine and that Lucias, The Plant Manager and Rouca are stuck inside. Rutice goes all anxious, but Avin manages to calm her down. Go to the weapons shop. Buy a Crescent Axe for Rael, a War Hammer for Elenoa, and a Stiletto for Rutice. Remember to equip them. Now walk to the northeastern part of the factory and talk to the worker there. Avin's party will now ride a small cart into Guia Mine to try and find their missing friends. ============================================================================== Guia Mine [Avin017] ============================================================================== There are two carts to choose between at the beginning of the mine. Choose the left one, since the right one does not lead to anything but plain monsters. Walk northwest after the second cart has stopped to reach a new area. Walk east from here to find Lucias and a worker. The worker explains that Lucias took down lots of monsters, but was then hit unconscious by a sorcerer wearing a hood and a young man with silver colored hair. After finishing the conversation with the worker, kill the three monsters north of your current location. Walk onto the nearby cart after the battle. Walk west after stepping down from the cart, and then north when you get to a fork. Keep heading north and read the sign there to find out some info about Guia mine. After that, head east to meet Rouca and the Plant Manager, being threatened by a sorcerer with a hood. Use two deadly attacks to kill the sorcerer, then take down the monsters using spirit magic and melee attacks. Now everything is ready for the factory to start getting ore and producing the sword that Avin needs after he has gotten all the sacred treasures. Rutice decides to keep following Avin on his adventures. ============================================================================== After Dealing With Guia Mine [Avin018] ============================================================================== Items To Find +------------------------------+ |Sp Arcanum 1 |Swear Blade | |Pearl Amulet |Kukri | |Mobius Ring |Delta Shield | |Bind Talisman |Plate Mail | |Lunch |Swordmaster 10 | +------------------------------+ Go to the adventurer guild in Guia to get a Sp Arcanum 1, go to the inn to see Doctor Bandle, then go talk to Oldwoman Rao in her house to get a Pearl Amulet. Equip it on Rutice. Run east out of Guia and walk until you reach a junction. Even though it is suggested by Rutice that you go left to Garden Hill, head east to New Borun if you want to check out the new shop there. Ramicum has opened his shop now, but hat kind of shop it is, depends on what you said to him when you talked to him the first time. After shopping around, head back to the fork from earlier and head west towards Garden Hill. + Grand Canyon Inside this mine, walk straight north, over two bridges, then step on an elevator after walking a little east. When you have gotten to the upper floor after taking the elevator, head west and then walk outside. There's lots of fog waiting for you, but you should be able to find the chest with a Mobius Ring in. Now walk northeast to enter the mine again using another entrance. Go right to step on another elevator that takes you up to a higher floor. Walk southwest and exit the mine once again. Another chest is waiting for you once you're inside again at the other side. The chest contains a Bind Talisman. On your right side is another elevator. Blame the developers for this boring place, allright? Head west after taking the elevator mentioned earlier and then get out of the mine again. Continue walking like you have done this far, until you finally reach Garden Hill. Geez, Grand Canyon is a crappy place. + Garden Hill Garden Hill is actually a village where people live, but their houses are ancient and made of stone. Pretty weird stuff, indeed. Walk straight north to find two girls talking about a man named Reithol that has forgotten to take his lunch with him. it turns out that Reithol is a descendant of the shrine guardians, so you will need to have Reithol with you to get into Idun Shrine later on. The girls give you the lunch so that you can bring it to Reithol yourself. Walk over to the weapons shop now. Buy a Swear Blade for Avin, a Kukri and a Delta Shield for Rutice, and three plate mails for Avin, Rutice and Lucias. Equip this stuff, as always, and then head north out of Garden Hill. + Follower's Path Make your way north until you reach a new area, and then continue going north until you arrive at Idun Shrine itself. + Idun Shrine You will hear Reithol's voice arguing with a silver haired man. The man manages to get into Idun Shrine, and Reithol is lying on the ground. Avin now brings Reithol back to Garden Hill, so that they can heal him there. Avin now delivers the lunch he got from the girls to the elder, so that Reithol can have it later. Get back to Idun's shrine, to the northern part of the area to be more exact. Watch the scene where Avin and friends tries to find a way to open the entrance to the underground part of the shrine. A monster-like creature now appears, and dashes towards Garden Hill! By reading the nearby tablet, you will understand that this was most likely the Wind Spirit! Go back to Garden Hill now to see what the spirit wants to do there. + Garden Hill The spirit from earlier has spread scales all over the town, and the air is all yellow and foggy. The spirit begs Avin to free it from the monstrous body it is trapped in, and then flies away. Back in the elder's house, Reithol has waked up from his sleep. Avin now gets the idea to use the meefa animals from spirit forest to clean the air and Reithol's body that has been stained in the scales from the monster. Use the direct service elevator a little south of the elder's house to get to the bottom of Grand Canyon. No need to walk all the way down the mountain like when you came here. Thank god. Head over to Spirit Forest and Archem's house. Northwest in Spirit Forest, as I am sure you know. + Spirit Forest After a small conversation, Archem calls the meefas that are hiding in the forest, and makes them run over to Garden Hill at once. Now head back to Grand Canyon, take the direct service elevator, and you will once again arrive at Garden Hill. + Garden Hill The meefas have now cleaned the air, and all the scales that were making Garden Hill look like crap, are gone. Walk east of the weapons shop and talk to the meefa there to recieve the Swordmaster 10 book. The meefa apparently found it somewhere. Now go talk to the elder in his house. Reithol is there too, and he takes Avin with him and opens the Idun Shrine's entrance. ============================================================================== Charging Into Idun Shrine [Avin019] ============================================================================== Items To Find +------------------------------+ |Sp Arcanum 2 | Frissa | |Rare Potion | Acinases | |Shield Orb | Rarest Potion | |Battle Wrist | Sp Arcanum 3 | |Theresia H20 | Stimulant | |Delleboura | Boxed Lunch | +------------------------------+ Once inside, go into the room on your left side for two Sp Aranum 2. Now you will notice that there's a stair on the east side of the area, and one to the north. Go down the eastern ones, and then, you will end up in a room. If you want 'into' the southern wall from this room, you will find a secret passage. At the other side of the passage, you can find LOTS of chests. Open them all and take all the items. Most of them are Rare Potions, but there's also a shield orb and a Battle Wrist. Let Avin equip the Battle Wrist, and then head back up the stairs. Now it is time to choose the northern stairs from earlier. Salk down another set of stairs, and you will reach a large room with two stairs and some small pillars in the middle of it. First, choose the stairs on the right side to find a Theresia H20, and then walk down the leftmost stairs. Down here, walk as far northeast as possible to find a chest with a Frissa in. The Frissa is a sword that is weaker than your current ones, if you have followed this walkthrough earlier - so, do not equip it. Ok then, go as far southwest as possible form the Frissa chest, and walk down the stairs there. Straight west now, down another set of stairs, and then continue walking the only way possible, until you see the Frissa chest behind a wall on your right side. From there, head north, and you will find yourself in a room similar to the one just before the boss in Scotia Shrine. Walk north, then open the two blue chests on your left and right sides. This will earn you some Acinases and a Rarest Potion. Do not equip the Acinases, unless Ru tee has some extremely weak weapon that you're still using, despite what I have told you earlier. Now walk a little more north, onto a warp portal. Move onto the nearby moving block, and the open two chests at the other side to get Sp Arcanum 3 and a Stimulant. Save, heal and then walk north into the altar room of Idun Shrine. It's battle now! You know the drill! +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Boss: Idun | |--------------------+--------------------+----------------------------------+ | HP: 800 + | Recommended lv: 27 | | |--------------------+--------------------+ | | This battle is much harder than the battle with Scotia, so we will have to | | be a little cheaper this time around, if you haven't reached level 30 | | or so, that is. At first, use Avin, Lucias and Rutice's Deadly attacks | | on Idun. Ignore her spirit helpers, even though they do lots of damage | | to you. Use Archem to heal using her La Rarer Spell - all the time. | | When you're out of Deadly attacks start attacking Idun using melee attacks.| | If Idun paralyzes a character, just heal using La Rarer as usual, and | | wait for the effect to go away. Do not use time on using items to remove | | the paralyzis, as this will make it much more hectic to heal the other | | characters. The key to this battle, is La Rarer! Idun goes down after | | taking a little more than 800 HP in damage. | +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ Idun is now set free from the monster's body, and gives Avin a new sacred Treasure - the Delleboura. Avin will now be able to use wind spirit magic. Head back to Garden Hill now. + Garden Hill Sleep by talking to the elder, and then talk to Loretta in the northern part of the village to get a boxed lunch. Use the direct service elevator to go down to the bottom of Grand Canyon, and then head over to New Borun, and then head west from town to the monastery. ============================================================================== Leaving Garden Hill [Avin020] ============================================================================== Items To Find +---------------------------------+ | Linde's Note |Briganden | | Golden Sake |Cowter | | Swordmaster 11|Rarest Potion | | Telek |Firefly Mushroom | | Kirkstein |Jenis Water | +---------------------------------+ + Benequia Monastery A girl comes running towards Avin, followed by some masked men from Octum's Apostles. Kill them all. Heh, except for the girl, stupid. Head north after talking to the girl, and then prepare for a battle with another sorcerer. Wipe the sorcerer and his assassins out with spirit magic and deadly attacks. Heal, then walk northwest past the girl on the ground to find Borgeid and his guards, threatening Ollesia and another girl. Suddenly Fatima and the syamseal gang kills Borgeid's guards, and says that they want nothing more to do with Octum's Apostles, since they've been treated like shit for a long time. Madram jumps down from the roof too! Borgeid escapes, Fatima runs off, and so does Madram. Lucias now has to stay at the monastery as Ollesia's bodyguard, so she leaves your party. After leaving the monastery, go back to it again and speak to Sister Line in the northwest corner to get Linde's Note, a note that you need to take back to her family in Phildin. + New Borun Watch the conversation between Rutice and Archem. When Rutice returns to Avin, Archem will already have left New Borun and headed back to Spirit Forest. Go talk to Doctor Bandle at the upper floor of the inn, and then walk east out of New Borun and walk towards Borun. You will meet General Diren when you get to the bridge. After the general and his army has left, walk directly to Borun. + Borun Walk to the inn and talk to the bartender to get Golden Sake from him. talk to Karamus who is also at the inn to give him some ideas. Head east out of town afterwards, and walk all the way to Phildin. + Phildin Go to Mrs. Zeal's house (straight east of where you just entered) and give her Linde's Note. When Mrs. Zeal gives Avin his reward the translations seems to have freaked out, as it actually says that 'Avin was given Linde's Note'. Mrs. Zeal really gives Avin some Rozes, and not a new note. Head over to the library to get Swordmaster 11 from the receptionist. Go buy the Telek and the Kirkstein for Rutice at the weapons shop in southern Phildin. Also get the Briganden armor for both of you. Now try to exit Phildin by going southeast. Mile's father comes walking, like in a dream, and does not hear or see Avin at all. Follow him north to the castle, and then fight the monsters that he summons. Muse will now appear, and beat Mile's father into the wall. Afterwards, Avin and friends rests at the castle, and Muse explains that Mile's father will have to be watched over by the adventurer guild for some time, until they are sure that he was under a spell or some magic when he attacked the castle. Martie is here too, and now he's working at the castle as Muse's aide. Martie and Muse now join Avin's party. Let Muse and Martie have some accessories, and then walk out of the room. Go north to talk a little with the king, and then head south to another room. From here, walk east into a library. Read the books in the two '!' shelves. Head south out of the castle now. Head over to the adventurer guild to find out that Mile's father has been effected by an old spell that lets someone control his mind. Now head northeast out of Phildin, go to Tibri, and then northeast from there to reach Dinerken's mansion. + Sage's Mansion Dinerken says that he can make a potion for Mile's father so that the spell breaks. But to do that, he needs some ingredients. He needs a 'Firefly Mushroom' that can be found in Ziziki Cave. Ziziki Cave is southeast of Tibri. Walk there now. + Ziziki Cave Go right at the first fork to find a Cowter. Let Muse equip it. Now go northwest to the next area. From there, head northeast to find a Rarest Potion, and then head to the other side of the water near the chest to get to the next area. You've done this before, remember. After walking over a bridge, go south for a new chest. It contains a Rarest Potion. There's another bridge a little north of the one you passed some seconds ago. It leads to the west. Walk over it to find the mushroom for the potion Dinerken wants to make for Mile's father. Slay the monsters that appear, and take the mushroom. Head back to Dinerken's mansion now. Dinerken will give you the Jenis Water, so that you can bring it back to Mile's father. Go back to Phildin. Now! ============================================================================== After Getting The Potion From Dinerken [Avin021] ============================================================================== Items To Find --------------- Quick Ravin 7 Lemuras Amulet Sp Arcanum 2 Go to the inn to find Jyamane. He has Quick Ravin 7. Head over to the guild now to see Mile's father. The medicine works, and Mile's dad wakes up, saying that Mile visited him earlier, but that there was something weird with his hair. Now go south out of Phildin and to Ourt Village. Just before you enter the village, an adventurer comes screaming about the people in ourt being all mad, just like Mile's father was earlier. Rutice casts an invisibility spell on Avin and then Avin enters the village alone. + Ourt Look through the window at Mile's house to see elder Roan. Avin throws a stone to get him aware of the fact that he is outside. Roan explains that Mile came back to Ourt earlier, and made all the other villagers go zombie, like Mile's father when he first appeared in Phildin. Mile also talked about Octum. Now head over to the elder's house and look into the window. Mile is there, and he will notice that Avin is peeking at him. Watch the scene where Avin is attacked by the villagers, and then Rutice and Muse manage to squirt some of the remaining potion onto Mile's body. The villagers return to normal, and it turns out that 'Mile' was really controlled by Bellias himself. Mile now escapes. Go north out of Ourt towards Sage Lemuras' lookout cottage. + Lookout Cottage Walk to the shack on your right side and examine the scarecrow. There is a letter hidden inside it. The letter also describes an amulet, that Avin will find inside the scarecrow as well. This amulet can be used to get inside the nearby shrine. Head over to Lemuras' grave now, and watch the scene. The fence in the northern part of the area will now break, so head through that opening. + Notos Forest Go northeast to find an Sp Arcanum 2, then head southeast to find another one, as well as the entrance to the next area. Go northeast through this, and the next area. Then use the amulet to open the entrance to Nephtys Shrine. Walk inside once you regain control. ============================================================================== Charging Into Nephtys Shrine [Avin022] ============================================================================== Items To Find +------------------------------+ |Shield Astarte | Royal Powder | |Anti-Chaos | Rare Tiamat | |Stimulant | Theresia H20 | |Rarer Potion | Shield Orb | | | Isboura | +------------------------------+ Upon entering, you will see a set of stairs east of two small pillars. Walk down those stairs. When you're attacked by the La Ruva enemies (looks like flames), use magic attacks to easily take them out. Anyways, open the two chests you reach after fighting two La Ruvas. The chests contain a Shield Astarte and an Anti-Chaos. Let Martie equip the Shield Astarte, and then walk back up the stairs so that you reach the place where you entered the shrine. Go west from there, and follow the corridor until you see a new set of stairs, close to two burning torches. Walk down the stairs, and follow the corridor until you see a pink monster flame that is circling around in a room. Fight if if you want to, and then go west, to find another set of stairs. Use them to walk one floor upwards again. There's a squared wall and two torches in this room. Head north, and then down the stairs on your right side to find a chest. It contains a Stimulant. Go back up the stairs then head north. Follow the corridor, and you will eventually reach a gate with two new torches on the other side of it. Walk through the gate, and then head south through a open fence. You should see a chest now, at the other side of a wall. Go open it for a Rarer Potion. Head east and then down the nearby stairs. In the room you arrive in, there's lots of walls, almost like in a labirynth. Make your way to the northwestern part of the room to find the set of stairs that you need to walk down. Walk south until you see another set of stairs. Do not use them yet, but head south instead, as there is a secret path directly south of the stairs. Open the chests that you will run into in order to find some Royal Powder and the Rare Tiamat. Let Avin equip the Tiamat. Now go back north and head down the stairs you saw earlier. After walking north through a corridor, you will once again reach one of those special areas that you walked through before fighting the bosses in the two previous shrines. Walk north, open the chest on the left side for a Theresa H20 and then walk north to a warp portal. Use it. On your left side after using the warp portal, there's a chest with a Shield Orb in. Walk north to the moving block. Step onto it. At the other side, there is a Sp Arcanium 3 in a chest on your left side, and Royal Powder on your right side. Now save, and walk north into the altar room for the boss battle. +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Boss: Nephtys | |--------------------+--------------------+----------------------------------+ | HP: 800 + | Recommended lv: 32 | | |--------------------+--------------------+ | | First let everyone use their Deadly attack on Nephtys. Afterwards, use | | Rutice to heal everyone with La Rarer. Muse should use Spirit Salamander, | | and Martie should use any magic attack at Nephtys. As for Avi, have him | | use black magic attacks on Nehptys (not spirit magic). This battle is a | | piece of cake if you just remember to heal using La Rare | +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ Avin now recieves another sacred treasure, the Isboura. Avin can now use Earth Spirit magic in battles. Walk back to Phildin after talking to the elder and Mile's parents. + Phildin Head over to the library and go see professor Logos (the man that helped you get a fake book for Fatima and her gang at the beginnin of the game) and then walk through the door there. Dinerken and Gawaine are waiting at the other side of a long corridor. Muse and Martie leaves the party, before Avin, Rutice and Gawaine use a transfer gate to get to Valkd. ============================================================================== Wooh! We Just Used A Transfer Gate [Avin023] ============================================================================== Items To Find +--------------------------------------------+ |Cathedral Basement Stuff |Morning Star | |Rare Sword |Door Key | |Sword Impulse |Crimson Fire | |Briganden |Quick Ravin 8 | |Famed Pratica |White Bouquet | |Swordmaster 12 | | |Famed Pleiades | | +--------------------------------------------+ Head south through a corridor to get to the basement of the cathedral in Valkd. You can now take all the items in the treasure chests, as the doors here have been unlocked. After taking all the items, equip Rutice with the Baselard that you found here. Head upstairs and go see Shannon to have her faint, and then go to Sir Croir. He gives Avin the Rare Sword, that the factory in Guia has finally finished making. Head out of the cathedal, and go to the weapons shop in Valkd to buy some stuff. Buy Sword Impule for Rutice and Briganden armor for those that need it. Make sure that everyone is quipped with nice accessories, and then head south out of Valkd. Head south and walk until you reach Brizahc. + Brizahc Buy the Famed Pratica for Rutice and Gawaine at the weapons shop. Go to the inn to see Luc. He gives you Swordmaster 12. Go down to the pier and talk to Karamus that is hiding behind some crates. Walk as far southwest as possible and try walking onto the ship there to meet Thomas. Press 'yes' when asked, and then set sail. When Thomas has stopped talking, go see Rutice and Gawaine. Talk to them, then return to have some words with Thomas again. Thomas explains that the Gagharv is a huge cleft that runs along the eastern edge of El Phildin. The sea that filles the cleft is known for a vortex that makes ships sink. Gawaine tried to pass the Gagharw once, but failed. Suddenly, huge waves start appearing, and Michel - that Avin met earlier at Truth Island - appears, flotating in the sea. Michel admits that he is from the other side of the Gagharv, more specific, Michel is from the place Tirasweel. Back in Brizahc, Michel joins the party. Equip him with some accessories, then buy him a Famed Pleiades and a Morning Star. Go to the upper floor of the manor left of the guild and talk to Mrs. Milabo. She gives you a Door Key. Head northwest out of town, then go north, and then east once you can. + Eiton Mountain Path Head south for some Rune Boots. Then go north to reach Eiton Cave. Use the door key to open the gate. + Eiton Cave Head north until Rutice find a swamp. Walk around in the swamp until you find a crimson flame. Then, head east to a new area. Go north, then east to find two swamps with two crimson flames in. After finding them (just walk around in the swamp like with the first one), head southeast from the entrance of this room. The first swamp has another crimson flame. A little northeast is another flame in a swamp. After this, head west to find a BIG crimson flame. Some monsters will attack. Kill them. After the scene with the cave collapsing and all, the party will head back to Brizahc. You will recieve a reward from the butler. Its not a very important item, but what kind of item it is, depends on how many flames you found in Eiton Cave. Equip the item you got. Head to the inn to find Jyamane. He has Quick Ravin 8 for you. Down at the pier, talk to Thomas, and enter his ship again. Watch the great scene at the sea, and then you will arrive at the wharf in Kanaphia. + Kanaphia Go east to the elder's house, and have him talk about what happened 15 years ago. The elder explains that Dominique (Durga's Daughter before Eimelle) and Madram grew up here, and were friends. When the two of them were 20 years, Dominique started to hear Durga's voice. When they were attacked by the Octum's Apostles, help from the cathedral was requested. However, the request was eliminated by a oracle in the Bardus church. Avarice was the one that eliminated it (the same man that made people kill Meefas in Spirit Forest). When they were attacked, Dominique sacrificed herself to save Madram's life. Gawaine is now given a White Bouquet. Head south out of town to Seperation Path. + Seperation Path It's raining like mad here, but make your way south through the rain. Fight the monsters you meet, and you will eventually reach the cemetery. + Cemetery Head east and sleep at the gravekeeper's house. Head as far north as you get - you need to walk up some hills to get there - and have a look at Dominique's grave. Gawaine places the White Bouqouet on the grave to pay her respect. Madram has been waiting for Avin, and starts talking. Madram explains that he is the guardian of this shrine, and that Avin has to defeat him in battle if he wants to enter. The two of them now fight. Avin is the one that is defeated. Madram takes the sacred treasures from him, and enters the shrin alone. Inside the shrine, Borgeis surprises Madram, and throws some powerfull spells as him. Borgeid says that he was the one that killed Dominique! Just before Madram is killed, Avin and friends rushes into the shrine, and make Borgeid escape. Madram now returns the sacred treasures to Avin. Madram now faints. Well, head a little north and walk through a door to reach Zar Shrine. ============================================================================== Charging Into Zar Shrine [Avin024] ============================================================================== Items To Find +--------------------------+ | Guardian | Holy Irs | | Stimulant | Stimulant | | Skuld Elixir | Ispied | | Theresia H20 | Elucion | | Sp Arcanum 3 | | +--------------------------+ First walk north until you get into a room with two stairs. Walk to the bottom of them both to find a Guardian that you should equip on Avin, as well as a Stimulant. Now head back to the entrance of the shrine, and take the western corridor. Walk down the stairs near a fence. In the room with four torches, head south and walk down another set of stairs. Head north now, and up some stairs. Now you will reach a room where there's some stairs near you, and a path going further west to a small maze-like place. Walk up the nearby stairs first, and then walk through a gate. Continue walking until you reach the end of the path. Check the soutmost wall for a secret path. At the other side of the path you will find three chests with Skuld Elixir, Theresia H20 and Sp Arcanum 3. Backtrack now, and head west to the small maze-like area I talked about earlier. Make your way as far southwest as possible, and head down the stairs. Walk north through a very long corridor, and you will reach a 'before boss' room that we have seen so many times earlier. Save your game! Open two chests on the left and right sides for a Holy Irs and a Stimulant. Let Avin equip the Irs. Avin now runs into Borgeid, that is trying to reach the altar where the spirit of this shrine is dwelling. Borgeis is lauging, explaining that Bellias has already started a ritual that will bring Octum back to this world, and evenntually wipe it out afterwards. Time for battle! +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Boss: Borgeid | |--------------------+--------------------+----------------------------------+ | HP: 1000 + | Recommended lv: 36 | | |--------------------+--------------------+ | | Borgeid has two Guard Core helpers. Start by using all of your Deadly | | attacks on Borgeid, and then let Avin use his melee attacks. | | Since Borgeid has a nasty Death Quake attack, use Rutice's La Rarer to | | heal everyone. Use Gawaine's melee attacks on Borgeid, and Miche's magic | | attacks. Do not concentrate on the Guard Cores. If you can't keep up with | | all the damage Borgeid makes to you, use Gawaine to heal, in addition to | | Rutice's spells. | | Reward: White Augite | | | +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ Unfortunately for Avin and his friends, Borgeid is still furious, and has lots of energy left, even though you just won over him in the boss battle. When it looks like Borgeid will manage to kill everyone off, Madram appears. Madram takes some heavy damage from Borgeid's spells, but eventually manages to get a hold of Borgeid. Then, he blows himself up using a Crimson Flame. Madram dies, but do does Borgeid. In the end, Madram managed to get his revenge. Head north to the altar to recieve the sacred treasure Ispied from the spirit Zar. Avin will now be able to use Fire spirit magic in battles. Zar will also forge the sword that Avin got from Guia so that it can finally by used for its purpose. The sword is now fused with the sacred treasures, and renamed to 'Elucion'. Head back to the graveyard and walk over to Dominique's grave and have a look at Dominique and madram's sould *this is kind of sad :(* Walk back to Kanaphia now, and speak with Thomas at the wharf. Agree to go with him on his ship. Watch the lovely cut scene, and then, you will find yourself back in Valkd. ============================================================================== Final Shodown [Avin025] ============================================================================== Items To Find +----------------------------+ |Rares Potion |Theresia H20 | |Sp Arcanum 3 |Skuld Elixir | |Impact Orb |Riebe Leaf | |Famed Pleiades|Stimulant | |Royal Powder | | +----------------------------+ After talking to Sir Croir, try to head out of the cathedral. Shannon will stop you, and beg Avin to take her with him. Avin refuses, and tells her to wait here, and make some food that Mile can have if he returns. Now, head to the inn in Valkd and talk to Jyamane at the upper floor. He gives you Quick Ravin 9. Talk to Karamus as well. He's here too. If you have all the Hurricane Lavin Books, head back into the cathedral and the room where Sir Croir is. Use the eastern stairs, then walk south to talk with Aron. If you have all the books, he will give you the Moonlight Charm. Then, if you have all the Swordsman books, head to the house right of the sadventurer guild and talk to the man sleeping there. He gives you the Zero Field if you have the swordsman books. All of them, of course. Sleep at the inn to make sure that you're healthy and then exit Valkd by going Southeast. Now head west, and use the sword that Zar forged to break the dark barrier that has been hindering you from reaching Cathedral earlier. Congratulations on reaching the final dungeon! + Cathedral Walk north into the cathedral and then up the stairs on your right side. Avin now remembers Pofessor Esperius. Esperius' soul now appears in front of Avin. He explains that Bellias was once his most beloved student, but that he changed after realizing something during a visit on Truth Island. After Esperuius has left, go right and then take the stairs that are in a small room. Continue down another set of stairs, and you will reach a place with a stone-path. There's also some water here below the path. Head east here, then north. Walk down some stairs, and you will get to a darker place. Just keep walking down stairs, and you will eventually end up in area with golden walls. + Golden basement Head left, then north. Walk down the stairs that you run into. Go west past some big wall pillars, then north. Now go east, then south, then west. Head down the stairs. Save your game, and then head northwest to meet Bellias. Bellias escapes, and leaves Mile here to fight with you. +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Mini Battle: Mile | |----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | | | Start by using spirit magic and black magic to take out the Evil Oracle | | and the demon swordsman of the left side. Mile might heal his comrades, | | but keep dealing damage to them, as he can only heal one of them at once. | | Use Rutice to heal using La Rarer, like usual. Continue fighting until | | all of the oracles and swordsmen are dead - without using Deadly Attacks! | | When Mile is the only one left, he might use a powerful Reincarnation | | spell. This should not be a problem though, if you remembered to keep | | your characters at good health using Rutice. Now use melee attacks to | | defeat Mile himself. | +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ Mile is still alive, and now he goes all crazy with some powerful spells. Avin gives his sword to Rutice, and tries to get Mile back to normal. After using the Guardian Bell from Mile's father and talking about their memories, Avin manages to get Mile back to normal - save for the gray hair. Mile joins the party, but Michel has to stay behind when the others takes the lift down to the sealed land, so that the evil oracles does not destroy the lift. Will Michel survive this? You won't see that yet. + Sealed Land Walk left and into the cave there. In there, go north, east then south to get to another area. Walk straight south to reach a cliff. Use the nearby bones to head south and open a chest for a Rarest Potion. Go northeast from the chest to find a Sp Arcanum 3. Now go to the northwestern part of the area and enter the cave there. In there, go north, then south to the next area of the cave. Head south through a couple of areas then east, and when you reach a fork head north to find an Impact Orb. Afterwards, go south to exit the cave. You will now be surrounded, but suddenly Martie and Muse pop up out of nowhere and help defeating the bad guys. Walk south after the scene, over some bones. Continue walking south on bones, then head east into another cave. At the fork, head south. In this room, do not go further south, but walk through the wall on the right side (a secret path here) for a Chanting Tiara. Head back north, and then to the far east. Walk out of the cave again. Go south on some bones once outside, then southeast and into a new cave. Some 'armored soldiers who have no life' according to Rutice - will come walking. Douglas saves Avin and friends, and reveals that he has started using the Thunder Sword. Finally. Go north and then follow the path until you are outside again. Go south, watch the scene with Rael, then continue south to see Elenoa. Head north into the nearby cave. Walk through the whole cave. There is only one path. Outside again, head southwest for a Famed Pleiades. Walk a little back again then head southeast. Continue walking southeast and walk into the cave entrance that you run into. Walk through the cave, and outside Baron will help you. Head southwest, into another cave. The eastern part of the cave has three chests. Open them for Royal Powder, Theresia H20 and Skuld Elixir. walk south, then north to meet Lucias and Archem. Head north to reach a 'before boss' room. In the northeastern part, you can use a warp gate to go back to Valkd. Do whatever you want to do there, and then head back to the 'before boss' room. Head north, and you will arrive in a room floating through space. Make your way northeast, use two transport circles, and you will get to a chest with a Riebe Leaf in. Walk south from the second circle to find a new circle. Keep walking, using all the circles you run into. Stop when you get close to a chest - it has a Stimulant inside. There really is not much to do here besides following the only path avaliable and using the transport circles. There's another chest containing a Rarest Potion and one with a Skuld Elixir, but missing them is hard. Just walk from circle to circle, until you reach a gate. -- Save BEFORE you enter the gate. This is your last chance before the battle. +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Mini Battle: Bellias | |----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | | | Start by taking down the two Guard Cores by using melee attacks. Use | | Rutice to heal your party. Bellias might use Reincarnation, but that | | should be ok as long as you don't forget healing. Just use melee attacks | | until Bellias goes down. Don't waste Deadly attacks. Afterwards | | you will have to engage in the REAL final battle. | +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Boss: Octum's Spirit of Life | |--------------------+--------------------+----------------------------------+ | HP: XXX | Recommended lv: 40 | | |--------------------+--------------------+ | | Start by killing off the two Dark Lores by using melee attacks. Use | | One of your three healers (Mile, Gawaine, Rutice) to heal when needed. | | Once the two Dark Lores have been wiped out, the two hands on the boss will| | activate. IGNORE their names, as those will only confuse you. Use all your | | characters' Deadly Attacks on the hand on your right side. Continue using | | melee attacks on the hand on your right side, and heal with Rutice. If | | you need more healing, use Mile, and if someone dies, use Royal Powder | | to get them back with full HP. The boss does LOTS of damage when it has | | both its hands, so prepare to heal a lot. Once the hand on your right side | | has been destroyed, start attacking the hand on your left side with magic | | attacks (melee ones will not work). | | | | If someone is paralyzed, use Refresh to lift the cure off them. Continue | | using magic attacks against the arm, and drink some skuld elixir with Mile | | so that he can use his Dark Wings Deadly attack a couple of times on the | | arm. This attack should do over 250 damage with each hit. | | | | When the hand goes down, you can start attacking the middle of the boss, | | named Spirit of Life. Before attacking though, use the Anti-Magic | | spell on ALL of your characters. The boss will not be able to do a lot of | | damage to you this way. If you forget using Anti-Magic, you are likely | | doomed. | | | | Your characters should have recharged power meters by now, so launch some | | deadly attacks onto the boss. When you run out of Deadly attacks, start | | using magic attacks. The boss will eventually summon some additional Dark | | Lores, but you should just ignore them and concentrate on the boss itself. | | As always, remember to heal using potions all the time. The boss should | | go down after a couple of minutes. | +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ Congratulations on getting through The Legend of Heroes: A Tear of Vermillion. Watch the ending of the game, and then go to bed, eat some waffles or listen to some music. Taking a bath might be a good idea as well? It's all up to you.

Archem (playable) ------------------ Archem lives in Spirit Forest, and thinks of the meefas animals as family. She can understand when the animals are in pain, and is trying to stop people from killing them. Arhcem joins the party after her grandfather has given a letter to Avin.

Bandle often heals Avin and his friends when needed. Diva Diana ----------- Diana is an old diva that is now traveling to all the places she can get to. She has an old relationship to Sage Gawaine.
