1.Introduction
I'd like to state a few stuff before I go on with the FAQ. First of
all, I am not a prolific writer so don't bug me about having a dumb-
sounding FAQ. Comments are welcome though. This FAQ was also not made to
be encyclopedic( that's why I called it a mini faq ). Remember, I'm just
a half-Chinese grade school grunt who is above-average in academics and
videogame playing so don't complain about bad grammar, barok-sounding
paragraphs or other stuff like that.
I wrote this FAQ because most of my friends are bugging me about
Alundra because I had it the longest. Even though Alundra is old, many
of my friends are still buying it now. Of course, I soon got sick of
answering their question everyday so I decided to write this mini-FAQ.
Oh yeah, about the game, Alundra is an remarkably difficult Action/RPG
from the folks at Working Designs and __________ (I kinda forgot and my
PlayStation is busted). It is like Zelda and Illusion of Gaia. It is 15-
40 hours depending on your skill and intelligence. Most of the graphics
can be done on a 16-bit machine. When I first saw the Anime intro of the
game, I had high expectations for the game to have several anime scenes
but sadly, there are only 2. The story is understandable and Working
Designs also inserted some of their trademark comedy like Jaylen.;)
Overall, Alundra is a great game.

5.Boss Strategies
________________________________________________________________________
I. Giant Slime: difficulty *(out of *****)
To liberate Wendell from his nightmares, you must defeat this slime
creature. Start by doing an attack-retreat pattern. Every time you
attack it, it will blink briefly (like you when you get hit) and be
invincible for those few seconds but it can still hurt you. Once you
damage it enough, it will split into 4 medium sized apparitions. They
blink when you attack them just like the Giant Slime and they can do
damage to you as well so keep using the attack-retreat pattern. If you
damage one of them enough, it will split into those normal slimes that
don't blink and die easily. Once you defeated the last slime, you have
defeated your first boss!
Not to hard but bring a few herbs along just in case.
II. Ancient Guardian: difficulty *
Easy. Just avoid the rocks that fall and strike him constantly until he
dies.
No sweat. If u are a terrible player save some herbs or a tonic.
III. Sara Monster: difficulty **
A mirage demon. She teleports around the battle field. Every now and
then, the demon will create false images of herself. You must attack her
true form to damage her. There is no way to know which is the real form
so you just have to guess. Another way is to be an extremely lucky guy
(like me, the tsambalero) who threw a bomb at the start of the battle
when Sara teleported within the vicinity of the bomb just before it blew
up in her face.
You can use a bomb to kill her in a swift blow or you can just use your
sword. Magic is practically useless here.
IV. Ancient Guardian
See above.
V. Water Creature: difficulty **
Not too hard. This boss has several attacks. It can shoot some water
arms from the surface of the water. You can destroy these if you want
but it would better if you try to avoid them instead. Occasionally, the
main form of the boss will appear. You will know it if you see it. The
main form of the boss will shoot many bubbles at you sometimes. When
this happens, keep pressing the square button to pave a way through the
bubbles so that you can hurt the boss.
Easy but long. Bring a few healing stuff just in case.
More to come.
