Version 0.5 () - First version of the FAQ. Extremely incomplete. Includes
the walkthrough for the first third of the game, and many
incomplete lists.
============================================================================
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- II. Introduction --
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
When I saw preveiws for this game, I was very excited. I really like RPG's,
yet fighting games are one of my favorites, also. And this game is like a
mix of both. With RPG elements such as exploring dungeons, having levels
and HP, etc., and the fighting game element where you can fight your
enemies in real-time, blocking, dodging, countering, this game keeps you
occupied with both storyline and action. But that's enough ranting about
this game, since you'd only be reading this FAQ if you were planning on
playing it anyways, am I right? So I'll just explaining some of the unique
things about this FAQ.
I have writen a FAQ previously, and I do speak English pretty damn fluently,
so if there's any grammatical errors in this, I'd like to hear about it in
a big, ugly e-mail if possibly. Hey, appearance is everything, right? But
if there's anything else missing from this FAQ that is important enough to
tell me about, please e-mail me at siroccoh@lanset.com. Anything about this
FAQ is heartily read and enjoyed be it anything (corrections, additions,
etc.). Don't be shy, mail me about this FAQ. I really like e-mail ^_^.
As pertaining to the FAQ, it's very incomplete right now, yet I hope to
make many more updates with lots more info. But I guess that you'll just
have to settle with this for now. I know that I'm missing quite a few items
on the lists, since you can just look at the GameShark codes to see all of
the items in the game. I only list items that I've found, since I know
their stats. When I first started playing this game, I thought it seemed
too simple, but when you get to the end of the game, I realized all of the
stuff that I haven't done, and it surprized me how deep this game truly is.
Note that this FAQ is written for the US version of this game, and I don't
have a clue about the Japanese game at all, but I'm guessing that it would
follow most of the stuff in this FAQ pretty much the same. Also, I'd just
like to say that I wrote this FAQ so it would be possible to read through
just about the entire thing and not know what the storyline is, being that
you should experience this (the storyline) through the game, not through
this FAQ.

Throughout this FAQ I will be referring to the cardinal directions, and
the abbreviations listed above will be used instead of their full spelling
(for example I will use N, instead of North). If there's something that
says up, down, left, right, etc. just assume that you're facing North.
So up means North, down is South, left is West, and right is East.
============================================================================
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- V. Walkthrough --
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
[ Valos' House ]
** Items: None **
After watching the intro, you'll start off in your house. Go get the tea
set located in the treasure chest in the SE corner of the room. Go to the
stove on the W side of the room. Use the tea set by going through the
menu screen, selecting the "item" sub-menu, and then highlighting the tea
set and press X, then choose the USE option. After you talk with Valos
again, go down to the basement and walk over the portal to be teleported
to your next location.
[ Wise Man's Cemetery ]
** Items: Battle Suit **
Once here talk with Valos. Then look at the scraps that Valos pointed at.
After the scene, go N. Talk with Valos. Head W, then go to the green
object and investigate it by pressing X. You can now save your game. Head
N until you come to a room with a soldier. Investigate it, then you'll
have to fight. Once you defeat it, you'll gain the battle suit, your first
piece of armor. Now go N, then head W to the green orb. Investigate it.
You now have to fight another soldier. After you win, you'll get the Orb
of the Wind and you'll gain your first level.
[ Arona ]
** Items: Dried Herb **
After the scene with Roddy, head NE to the pub. Talk to Dougal, and after
some more dialogue, your health will be restored. There is a dried herb
next to the N side of the pawn shop. Go to the church. Talk to the old
woman. Then leave and go talk to the drunk in the central part of town.
Now go back to the church. After talking with the priest, go up to the
North-most wall of the church and check the altar (it's the stone thing
that's sticking out of the middle section of the wall). Head down the steps.
Go to the table and choose to pick up the silver comb. After the animation,
you'll talk with the priest again, then when you have control of Eon again,
talk to the priest again to save. Leave the church, go back to the pub, and
talk with Dougal. After talking with him, go investigate the silver chest to
hide in it. Onwards to the Gude!
[ Gude Airship ]
** Items: Fake Treasure **
After a few cutscenes introducing the crew of the Gude (including Laramee!),
you'll start off in the Laramee's cabin. Now that she demands that you go
find the largest jewel on the ship, you must leave the cabin to find it.
Just start heading all the way S until you get to a room with a lot of
crates. Save first if you want, then investigate one of those wooden crates
in the SE corner, it contains some fake treasure. Now go look at the silver
chest. Go upstairs and watch the "antics". Afterwards, look at the chest
again, and let your scepter go to work. Go back to Laramee's room. After
the scene, head into the shower. Look at the towel, then Laramee will say a
funny comment, and guess what! More animation and dialogue!
[ Vangel ]
** Items: 80 GEMs, Dried Herb, Dirk **
Now that you're on the deck of the Vangel, head N, turn E, and then S to
get to a treasure chest with 80 GEMs. Now go N to the cargo elevator, and
investigate the control panel on the NW section of it to go up. Go N, then
W. Get on the passenger elevator and go to the second floor. You'll now
fight a soldier. Now head N, then E. The SE room has a treasure chest with
a dried herb in it. The NE room has a save point. But before you leave,
navigate through that pile of crates by walking on the grey step-stools to
get on top of the crates, then walk along the path of boxes. Just
perservere, and you should be able to reach another room. There will be a
treasure chest with the Dirk, a dagger, inside. Leave the room, then go
W and enter the NW room. Defeat the soldier inside the room (using the
dirk makes this easier), and you'll obtain the prison key. Now go to the
SW door, go into the menu and use the key to open the door. After the many
cutscenes, go E, then S and investigate the South-most door in this
corridor. Now there's some more animation, and afterwards, look at the
crushed orbs, and the scepter will memorize them. You'll now gain another
level, who hoo. Go through the broken-down door. There will be some more
scenes, and some pretty funny dialogue from Korky.
[ Airlim ]
** Items: None **
After you see the animation, you will be on Airlim, your sole means of
transportation from now on. Airlim will talk to you, and then give you
"Airlim Return", a magic spell. After some more animation, choose to go
back to Arona.
[ Return to Arona ]
** Items: Battle Axe **
Go to the church and talk with the priest and Arcia. Now leave and shop at
the Apothecary if you want. Go to the pub to have your health restored.
Visit the Curio shop to get the Battle Axe, the most powerful weapon in the
game at this point. Talk with all of the people in town, since they give
you advice or tell you something interesting. Be sure to talk to the girl,
Phyrea, in the SE corner of Arona, since she will tell you about the
Ocarina book in the old man's house. Once you're done exploring, go to the
house in the NE corner of the town. Once inside talk with the old man at
the table. If you investigate the blue pot near the old man, the game says
you get a chicken, but it won't be in the item section for some reason
(weird!?). Talk to the grandson for a funny remark from Korky, then go to
the NW room and pick up the Ocarina Book. Now leave by going through the
gate located along the S wall of the town. Arcia will now ask for you to
join her on her journey, choose the first option to accept. Now you'll be
back on Airlim. Press L or R once to highlight Valos' House, then press X
to go there.
[ Return to Valos' House ]
** Items: LP MAX +1 **
Check one of the barrels on the E side of the house to get a LP MAX +1. Go
inside, and Eon will read the letter from Valos. Leave the house and speak
with Arcia. You're now back on Airlim. Press U once to highlight the Kilia
Shrine, then select it.
[ Kilia Shrine ]
** Items: 120 GEMs, Fresh Herb, Bronze Piece, LP MAX +1, 100 GEMs, Gold
Piece, 150 GEMs, 150 GEMs, Gold Piece, 80 GEMs, Angel Feather, Bastard
Sword, 100 GEMs, Fresh Herb, 180 GEMs, 280 GEMs, LP MAX +1 **
After the message from Arcia, go W to the entrance to the Kilia Shrine.
Save at the green crystal, then head E and follow the corridor until you
come to a section where the path splits. Head to the NW room and collect
the "Flame Shot" magic from the treasure chest. Then look at the crystal
located in the S wall next to the treasure chest. You might have to rotate
the camera to see it. The scepter will now memorize the Sacred Stone of
Kilia. Head back to the place where the path split, and go S. In the next
room go N, up the stairs, then go E. In this room, go N, then W through
the doorway into the next room. From here go S to a treasure chest with
120 GEMs. Go to the NE corner of this room to collect a fresh herb from
the treasure chest. Go to the E hallway and there should be a doorway
leading to the central section of the dungeon. In this new room, go N,
then W up some stairs, and through a doorway. In this room go W shortly,
go S down the stairway, E up some stairs, then N to reach a treasure chest
with a bronze piece inside. Go back up the stairs, but now go W. Keep
heading westward through the hallways until you reach another doorway. In
this room, go E, then up the stairs heading S. You should now be in a
large room with a square-shaped gap in the middle of it. But before you
jump into the hole, go through the W hallway to get to a treasure chest
with a LP MAX +1. Then go through the E hallway to reach another treasure
chest with 100 GEMs inside. Now go jump into the hole to go the second
section of the dungeon.
Now that you've reached the second section of this dungeon, save your game
at the green crystal. The treasure chests have a gold piece and 150 GEMs
in them. Now go S, then W down the steps. The upper treasure chest has
nothing in it, while the lower treasure chest has 150 GEMs. Now go W
through the doorway. In this room go N, E down the stairs, and N again.
Don't open the treasure chest in this room, since it contains a Mimic.
Investigate the Starstone located near the N wall of the room. Don't
choose to pick up the Starstone, but rather pick the second option, and
now you can let your scepter memorize it (So just pick "no", then "yes"
when the game gives you options of what to do with the Starstone). Now go
E through the doorway and look at the pedestal located against the S wall
of this room. The scepter will make a replica of the Starstone on the
pedestal. Leave the room through the E doorway and repeat the same pattern
with the Moonstone. After your scepter replicates the Moonstones onto the
pedestal, the stairs in the room will now lower, allowing access to the
third section of the dungeon. You will now gain another level. Go down the
stairs.
Go through the W doorway and collect the gold piece in the S treasure
chest. Once again, there's nothing in the N treasure chest. Go back into
the previous room and go through the E doorway. There will be 80 GEMs in
the S treasure chest and an Angel Feather in the N one. Now head S. There
should be a large gap with some sliding blocks going across it. To cross
this gap, press the button on the floor when the blocks are lined up to
form a bridge. The button is pretty tough to see since it blends in with
the floor. Once you've lined up the blocks, go S across the bridge, then W
through the doorway. You should now be in a room with the zodiac symbols
etched in the middle of the floor, and there should be 4 platforms in each
one of the corners of the room. Go to the N part of the room, and
investigate the gears once to have the scepter memorize the gear, then
again to restore it. Now that the gears work, look at one of stone windows
that are located against each corner of the room. You can move each side
of the window by pressing L1 or R1. If you don't know what to do from here,
look at the Ocarina Book. Notice an uncanny similarity to the diagram in
the book and the alignment of the windows? That's because you're suppossed
to open and close those certain sections of the stone windows just like
the Ocarina. But if you're still confused, here's a diagram.
:: THE OCARINA ROOM ::
O = Open
X = Closed

Now that you've played the melody of the Wind Spirits, the symbol on the
floor in the middle of the room will now start glowing. Walk over it to be
teleported to the fourth section of this dungeon.
In this room, save at the green crystal, then go through the W and E
hallways to reach rooms with two treasure chests each. The room in the W
corridor contains treasure chests with the Bastard sword and 100 GEMs in
them. The E room's treasure chests contain a fresh herb and 180 GEMs. The
catch is that the first time you open one of the treasure chests in each
of the rooms, you'll have to fight an enemy. After you've collected the
treasures, go N to another room. Now head E, then S through the passage.
Fight the Guardian in the next room to raise the barriers. Go through the
E passage first, but don't investigate the N treasure chest since it has
a Mimic inside. But the S treasure chest has the "Guard Plus" spell in it.
Now head through the S pathway, then go W, and fight another Guardian to
raise the barriers in this room. Go through the W hallway and collect the
Wind Crest in the N treasure chest and 280 GEMs in the S one. Now that you
have the Wind Crest, open the barrier in the S corridor, then go S down
the hallway. Just keep heading down this hallway, until you come to a room
with a sorcerer in it. Fight or avoid the sorcerer, then go through the
door on the N wall of this room. You are now in a section of the dungeon
where you must answer questions that Zora asks you by walking through the
corresponding door. The answer to the first question is "both", so go
through the far right door. Look at the green panel to be dropped in a
room with a treasure chest that contains a LP MAX +1. Leave the room by
going S until you reach a doorway. You will be back in the previous room,
but now the barrier is raised. So walk into the next room and look at the
green panel. You will be dropped back into the same room as before, so
just leave, and repeat the same step with the third panel, then head N and
raise this barrier by going up to it and pressing X. Go through the hall
and you will be asked the second question in the next room. The answer is
"love", so go through the left-most door. Wait in the room for a few
seconds and you'll be taken to the third questioning. The third answer is
"health", so go through the left door again. Let the child run around the
room three times, but don't stand in his way. Now you will be sent to a
room with some star-shaped object on a pedestal. Walk up to it and touch
it to learn the lifting verse of the Wind Continent. After some speeches
from Zora and Valos, you'll be in a room with two staircases leading up to
the boss of the Kilia Shrine. Get healed and save at the green crystal in
the SW corner of the room. When you're ready, go up the second flight of
stairs to fight Bordlang.
<< Bordlang >>
At the beginning, just block the meteors that he summons and wait for his
hands to come after you. Block the attack the hand makes, then counter with
some slashes. You can tell you've killed the hand when it turns dark green.
Once you've killed both the hands, go hide behind one of the pillars in the
corners of the room. He will start casting an unblockable spell that
paralyses you, leaving you open to be rammed. But when the pillar is in the
way, he won't be able to harm you. Dash at him when the eye on his head
starts casting more meteors, get in two slashes, block the meteors, then
dash behind one of the pillars. Heal when necessary and repeat this pattern
to defeat Bordlang.
You will gain a level after you've beaten Bordlang, and then there will be
some more cinematics. Once you can control Eon again, go to the church and
save. You might want to trade those gold and bronze pieces for some GEMs
at the Pawn Shop. Now leave Arona. You will talk with Laramee and Arcia.
Now you must visit your house again. Go inside and look at the stove. Eon
will have a flashback (kinda). Now leave and go back to Airlim. Go to the
continent of Aquas and select Pixim as your destination.
[ Pixim ]
** Items: Frost Arrow Magic (Optional), Cross Mail, Dried Herb, Fishing
Equipment **
After an interesting scene with a boy named Afto, choose to stay with him.
There will be some more cutscenes, and you'll then go to sleep. The next
morning, go to the church and have a discussion with the priest and
Laramee (Side Note: Is it me, or do all the priests in this game look half-
asleep or something? What's up with their eyes?). Save if you want. Leave
the church and go to the Apothecary. Buy the Ancient Mystery Stone to get
the "Frost Arrow" magic. Look at one of the barrels along the S wall of the
Apothecary to get the Cross Mail, and search the barrel along the N side
to get a dried herb. Now talk to the lady standing between the Church and
Apothecary. Now go talk to the youth walking next to the E side of the
large house in the middle of town. If you don't have enough money to buy
the Ancient Mystery Stone, enter the tower in the N part of town, go
upstairs, and enter a large room with some barrels in it. Look at one of
the barrels in the SE corner of the room to get some Fishing Equipment.
Leave the tower and talk to the guy in the Ne corner of town, and he will
buy the Fishing Equipment for 1000 GEMs, twice as much as the Pawn Shop
offers. Now you'll have enough money to buy the Ancient Mystery Stone.
After you're done exploring, go to the SW corner of town to see Arcia
talking to a youth (this seems to be random when you go over there, since
sometimes there will be no one in this section of town, I think that you
might have to talk to the youth before to activate the scene with Arcia).
Go to talk to Arcia. Now talk to the youth and answer "yes" to his
questions.
[ Kel's Secret Cavern ]
** Items: **
Enter through the gate, then look at the crate in the NW corner of this
front area for a dried herb. Now enter the cave. Answer "yes" to Arcia's
question. Go N a little bit, then investigate the crate next to the NW tent
for a funny remark from Korky. Look at the crate in the NE corner of the
cave for a whopping 3 GEMs. Then, go W to reach a save point. From the save
point, keep going all the way W, then S under an overhang to reach a room
with 3 GEMs in one of the crates. Once you've collected all of the treasures
and have saved, talk with the boy at the entrance to the cave. After the
long cutscene, you'll find yourself in a jail cell. Go investigate the door
to the cell twice to talk with Arcia in the cell across from you.
Afterwards, wait for a few seconds to be released from your cell. Go to the
cell next to Arcia's (yes, the door will open). Inside the cell is a
treasure chest containing the Neptune shield. Now go E, then N to reach a
large cavern where you now have to scrape rocks out of the walls (I just
loved this part ^_^). You do this by going up to any of the indentations in
the wall and pressing X. The view will change and there will be a message
saying wheter or not you find any stones within the rock. Just keep trying
in the same spot until do find one, then move to another part of the wall.
This seemed to be the fastest way of collecting rocks, IMO. Also, you'll
find a LP MAX +1 and gain a level the first time you find a rock in the
wall. Keep searching until you get ten of them. Go N and save at the green
crystal. Then go to the S doorway and show the guard that you've collected
ten of the stones. You'll be sent back to your cell. Repeat the same
process the next day (what fun). When you're in the rock-collecting room
the day after that, talk to the guard that's walking around to hear what
they are going to do to Arcia. Go through the N exit and up to the door to
overhear a conversation, then go back into the rock-collecting room. Find
another sleeping guard in one of the W passages and choose "no", then "yes"
to have the scepter memorize the key. Now that you have the key, go back
to the big, red door. Let the scepter open the door for you, then head on
through.

-- VII. Lists --
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here is a listing of the many different things located within this game.
If you've looked at all of the items listed under the GameShark codes, you
can tell that all of these lists are still very incomplete. If anyone has
the stats for something that I don't have listed, please e-mail me about
it.
[ Items ]
Here are the lists for the many items in the game. Pretty much everything
is self-explanatory, but NP stands for "No Price". The price is the

* Even though you can't actually buy any of these items, I was able to
assume what the price would be if you could buy it from the Apothecary by
doubling the price that the Pawn Shop offers for that item, since the Pawn
Shop will pay 1/2 the price of any item that you buy.

[ Equipment ]
In this game, there are only three kinds of equipment. They are: weapons,
armor, and shields. Generally you use weapons to attack your enemies so
they will affect your AT. Armor defends against direct attack, and it will
affect your DF. While Shields block attacks, they may have special benefits
and disadvantages, such as raising AT, but lowering DF.

[ Magic ]
There's lots of different magic throughout the game, some of it beneficial
and others necessary to complete the game. The magic ranges from healing,
raising your stats, giving the enemy status problems, and of course,
attacking. The menu screen splits the magic into two categories, just as
it is listed here. The top part is magic that you can use while on the map
screen, the place where you do all of the exploring and interacting. While
the lower part represents all of the magic you can use in the battle
screen. This is when you're fighting enemies. Note that some spells are in
both sections.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
[ Skills ]
Skills are strong attacks that require a special motion to perform. You
will learn skills by obtaining a weapon that has the attack within it. But
once you learn it by obtaining that weapon, all of the other weapons in
its category will be able to use the skill, too. But you can't carry over
skills for one kind of weapon, to another. For example: Once you get the
Tyrano Fang, you can use Rotation Cut with all of the other axes, but you
can't use it with swords or daggers. Also, the damage from a multi-hit
skill will carry over to the next HP meter if you deplete the enemies
current one, too.

[ Enemies ]
Here's a bit of explanation for the Enemies Lists. Once you play through
a bit of the game, you'll realize that there are many different enemies,
but most of them can be put into a certain category. That is what the
TYPE is. I listed the specific names of all the enemies in that category,
and I listed them in order of weakest to toughest, going from up to down.
The LOCATION is where you'll find these enemies. I give a sort of GENERAL
STRATEGY for all of the categories, but certain high-end characters in a
category might have a slightly different strategy than the one listed,
since they might have a extra attack that messes up the pattern that is
used to usually defeat an enemy in that category. When I refer to a number
of slashes, I'm assuming that you are using a sword. Substitute a sword
slash with two dagger slashes or a half of an axe slash. Also, here's some
general advice about defeating certain enemies in certain locations. To
win battles in the fire and water lands, use the sword with an elemental
opposite of the environment (ex. use the Valhalla when on Volcos). That
about wraps it up. So enjoy yourself.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
TYPE: Soldier
NAMES LOCATION
Soldier Wise Man's Cemetery, Vangel, Kel's Secret Cavern
High Soldier Kel's Secret Cavern
GENERAL STRATEGY
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
TYPE: Guardian
NAMES LOCATION
Guardian Kilia Shrine
High Guardian Kilia Shrine
Death Guardian Kilia Shrine
GENERAL STRATEGY
Back away by dashing backwards, side step the laser attack, charge, slash
twice. May be possible to sneak in another extra slash.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
TYPE: Mutant
NAMES LOCATION
Slasher Kilia Shrine
Ripper Kilia Shrine
GENERAL STRATEGY
Back away, side step the dashing claw attack, slash twice. Keep blocking
until it does a standing slash or a claw poke, then counter attack with
two or three slashes. Do not counter after it does a kick attack. Watch
out for its unblockable super move, and avoid it by side stepping or
dashing under it while its in the air.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
TYPE: Mimic
NAMES LOCATION
Mimic Vangel, Kilia Shrine
GENERAL STRATEGY
Side step, slash once, repeat.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
TYPE: Sorcerer
NAMES LOCATION
Sorcerer Kilia Shrine
Legar Magical Labyrinth, Kel's Secret Cavern, Labyrinth of
Punishment
GENERAL STRATEGY
Block the first spell it casts, then dash and slash as many times as
possible. Do not try to attack it when it makes a barrier around itself.
Instead, just wait until the barrier goes away, then repeat the previous
steps. They will heal themselves if left alone for too long though, so
always be attacking.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
TYPE: Golem
NAMES LOCATION
Command Golem Magical Labyrinth
Ice Golem Labyrinth of Punishment
Stone Statue Labyrinth of Punishment
GENERAL STRATEGY
Just counter-attack with one slash (sometimes it's possible to sneak in
two) after each one of his attacks. Every single one his moves have
priority over your attacks, and the only way to stun him is by depleting
its entire HP meter. The best way to avoid a Golem's super move is by
dashing away backwards, or sneaking in enough hits to stun him, since the
super is so slow.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
TYPE: Dino
NAMES LOCATION
Jargo Kel's Secret Cavern
Zillo Kel's Secret Cavern
Grates Lava Caves
Rampage Lava Caves
GENERAL STRATEGY
Move away, then block its rolling ball attack, and slash 3 times. If you
back away and it doesn't immeadiately start the rolling ball attack, it
probably means it is going to perform its super move. Prevent getting hit
by its super by charging it, then slashing as soon as possible.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
TYPE: Spider
NAMES LOCATION
Slarg Kel's Secret Cavern
Balage Kel's Secret Cavern
Bazam Lava Caves
Venom Lava Caves
GENERAL STRATEGY
Move or dash away, charge, slash 3 times. Repeat. These guys should be
puddy in your hands, they're so easy to defeat. Just as long as you keep
using hit and run tactics, these guys won't even be able to damage you
since they have no range, not even with their super move.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
TYPE: Ultimate Life Form
NAMES LOCATION
Roper Stalagmite Castle
Slag Stalagmite Castle
GENERAL STRATEGY
Stay away from it, until it raises up into its attacking form. Then charge,
and slash three times. All of its attacks don't even have priority over
your charge, so they should be pretty easy.
