SOMETHING YOU SHOULD KNOW
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ok, for all that do not know, Legend of Legaia is a lot like Xenogears!
So all you Xenogears fans, go get a copy of this game. But there are a
few differences in the game. One difference is that of course the story
is different. Another difference is that the battle system is a bit
different. You can also learn skills to help you in your journey. The
graphics are not bad, but I don't think that the FMVs are as nice as the
Xenogears ones. But the good thing is that it is not so long and there
are less bosses. What an advantage. Good gameplay, not bad music and
great graphics. Almost perfect. So I'd give Legend of Legaia 9/10. And
one more thing, I play this game on a four inch monitor sometimes, so
it's kinda hard to see, so if there are any errors, please bear with it
and I'll try to get it fixed.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
WHY I'M MAKING THIS FAQ
------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are a few reasons to why I'm writing this FAQ. Number one, I loved
Xenogears and although I didn't write an FAQ for it as it was too long,
Legend of Legaia is shorter and hence have deceided to write an FAQ for
it like what I've done for a few other games like Final Fantasy 8,
Chocobo Racing and Monster Seed. I hope that this FAQ will be useful to
you, the reader. I also hope it's detailed enough. Number two, I have
this tendency to write FAQs for games I've played and liked. Number
three, I've got exams but my hands are itchy and can't seem to study so
I've deceided to write this FAQ. Lastly, I kinda have a lot of free
time.

------------------
God created the heavens, the earth, and the seas. After creating all
things in the universe, god created humans to rule over this world. Yet,
while possessing the wisdom of god, humans were physically weaker than
the wild beasts, and impulsive in spirit. Many times did the humans come
close to dying out forever. Concerned about the humans' future, god gave
them a mighty force with which to aid them. It was the Seru.
Since the dawn of human memory, known as history, humans lived
together with creatures known as the Seru. The Seru lived together with
humans, always obeying them, and making the humans many times stronger
than before. When not worn by a human, a Seru looks much like a stone
figure. However...Upon touching a human, a Seru changes form and gives
that human secret abilities. With a Seru, a human can lift extremely
heavy objects and even fly in the air. However, that era came to an end.
Appearing from out of nowhere, the Mist covered the land, bringing to
an end the world of prosperous symbiosis between humans, rebelled
against them. The Seru began attacking humans at will. Seru that
attached themselves to humans controlled their minds and turned them
into evil beasts.
As if forsaken by god, human civilization collapsed. It was the
twilight of humanity. Those who escaped the Mist inhabited the desolate
areas and protected each other. Now, their faint hope is their only
source of inspiration.
This can be found in the beginning of the game.

########################################################################
Items to get: Healing Leaves x 4, Mei's Pendant, Point Card, Magic Leaf
x 1, Hunter Clothes
When the game finally starts, you'll see a guy walking out of his house.
He'll walk down to this tree called a "Genesis" tree. He bows his and is
supposed to be praying as he is going hunting with the men of the
village the next day. You'll get to name him but I'll just use the
default name Vahn. Suddenly a village elder will appear. He'll talk to
you about the hunting tomorrow. Answer his question with which ever you
want to use to answer. After all the talking, go to the other side of
the Genesis tree and examine the board on the tree. You'll be able to
see some of your friends houses. After that, walk out and Mei will
approach you and she'll ask you for your measurements for the hunting
clothes she's making for you. She'll ask you to meet her at your house.
Now's your chance to explore the town. This is optional, but I'll write
the town stuff. So if you don't wanna explore the town, skip to the next
section.
This is a rough plan of the town.
Town Plan:

-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-
KEY:
|_|= door or entrance
|---| |-------------| |----|
|___| or |_____________| or |____| = house or shop
-_-_-_-_ = sea
. . .
. . . = beach
Numbers = people or houses to visit
--- = wall
Ok, look at the numbers. You can visit these people or houses. Who's in
these houses? Well, they are......
1) Somebody's house. Can't enter it though.
2) Mei and Juno's house. Can't really enter it too. Only at certain
times like when Juno dies and at night when you are equipped with the
Ra-Seru.
3) The town chief's house. You can get a healing leaf here. It's in the
cupboard in the second room.
4) This is where the Genesis tree is.
5) This is your house. You live with your sister and father. You can get
another healing leaf here. It's also in the cupboard.
6) An item and weapon shop. You cannot buy anything until you save the
village from the fog. There's a locked drawer on the second floor but it
doesn't seem to open. There's supposed to be a point card in it. You can
only get the point card after you leave Rim Elm and come back again.
7) It's not another house here, but a man by the name of Tetsu. He'll
teach you the basics of fighting, and also your first art. If you don't
know, art is a special skill that takes up more AP, but inflicts more
damage.
8) There's a save point here. To save, examine the blue thing and you'll
be at the memory card slot thingie.
That's about all to do in the village for now.
Back to the game. Go back to your house and Mei will be there. She'll
talk to NeNe before you enter. So it seems that Mei likes you. Cheeky
youth, don't get any ideas. Once you enter, she'll take your
measurements and leave. Talk to your dad and he'll tell you that he's
not in the mood to chat. Talk to your sister and she'll ask you if you
have thanked Mei. Choose your answer. Talk to her again and she'll tell
you that there's something to eat in the cupboard. It's actually a
healing leaf. Take it. You can explore the town again. After that, go
back to your house and talk to your dad or sister to sleep.
In the middle of the night, you'll be awoken by your father. He'll ask
you to go outside to see what's happening. Say yes and leave. Go to the
weapons shop and talk to the owner to get three healing leaves. Now go
to Mei's house. Talk to her and choose the first option to get her to go
to your house. This is to get Mei's pendant when you leave the village.
Now you can go gain some levels as NeNe will heal you when you talk to
her, but if you have the Ra-Seru equipped already, then she won't heal
you.
After raising those levels, talk to the villagers if you like, then head
to the Genesis tree. Examine the tree and get Meta, Vahn's Ra-Seru.
After the talking, go back to Vahn's house and talk to your father to
get the villagers to gather round the Genesis tree. After all that,
leave Rim Elm and Mei will send you off. She'll give you the hunter
clothes and her pendant if you saved her. Note the you can now go to the
shop to buy items etc. You can also get the point card if you leave and
come back. I advice you to gain some levels and get some cash. It's
kinda hard to get cash so go fight some monsters.
1.2 H U N T E R ' S S P R I N G
########################################################################
Items to get: Healing Leaf x 1
On the world map, go east. When you see a round, blue circle like thing,
approach it and you'll be in Hunter's Spring. Talk to the hunters and
the guy by the name of Lezam. You can repelenish your HP and MP by
drinking from the mini fountain. You can also get the healing leaf from
the chest at the lower right hand side. Accept Lezam's offer to save
Drake Castle. Time to leave.
1.3 D R A K E C A S T L E
########################################################################
Items to get: Sunrise Key, Lightning Key, Star Key, Mountain Key,
Healing Leaves x 2, Fury Boost, Survival Knife, Magic Leaf, Fire Book
One
Note: To get Seru abilities, fight a Seru and use your Ra-Seru in your
attacks. It's not a 100% chance that you'll get the ability, but it's
good. It takes 10 MP to cast Gimard but it's very powerful for now. You
probably need it for the boss later.
Drake Castle is north-east of Hunter's Spring.In Drake Castle, get the
chest when you are outside. Enter Drake Castle. There are a few doors or
gates in the castle that need to be unlocked. But you might want to
explore the castle to get some chests, and get the Gimard ability.
Note: In certain rooms, there are bookshelves. There is useful
information in them. Press X infront of the bookshelve to open it. Also,
all the keys are encased in a certain thing. It's like yellow in colour.
On the first floor, go to the room on the left to get the Sunrise Key to
open the gate to the 2nd floor. There is a Healing Leaf in the chest at
the upper left corner of the main room on the 2nd floor. Take the door
located at the south (doesn't matter which one you enter because both of
them are connected). In the next room there is a Fury Boost at the
bottom, middle left of the screen, where the table in the middle room
and the falling chair are. After that take the Lightning Key from the
upper right corner of the room. Proceed to the 3rd floor. There is a
Survival Knife in the chest in the left room on 3rd floor. Check the
lower right corner in the same room to get a Magic Leaf. The Star Key is
on the other room. Take the Healing Leaf on the 4th floor in the chest
at the upper left corner. Take the door leading south (doesn't matter
which one) and enter the throne room (the middle one). The left room in
the throne room is the King's Bedroom where you can find the King's
letter in the chest and the Mountain Key. The right room is a place
where you can sleep and recover your HP and MP. Also, there is a save
point and Fire Book I in the chest. Note that you need Fire Book I to
learn Vahn's first Hyper art (Tornado Flame). Open the mountain gate and
exit the castle. Now head to Rikuroa Mountain.
1.4 S N O W D R I F T C A V E
########################################################################
Items to get: Healing Shroom x 4, Nail Glove
There's a switch here and you'll now be in command of Noa.There is a
save point here. Talk to Terra and follow her. She will ask you three
questions in 3 different places of the cave. The answer of the first
question is the third choice. The second answer is the second choice.
After answering the 2nd question, pick up the Healing Shroom on the
floor. The answer to the 3rd question is the fourth choice. After that
go to your right and pick up another Healing Shroom. Now enter the
practice room. There is another Healing Shroom on the left side of this
room. All you need to do here is to practice to gain some levels and new
arts. Your enemies are the Red and Black Piura. After each battle you
can talk to Terra to Replenish your HP and MP. After the 2nd battle is
you talk to Terra, she will teach you an art. Anyway, from that point
each time you talk to Terra she will ask if you want to go back to eat.
Reject her offer as you need to gain some levels first.Actually, after
you beat all the piuras, she will force you to go back and there's
nothing you can do about it. Just follow her to the first room where you
start. Talk to Terra once more in this room before she joins you. Just
follow the path and exit the cave. Don't forget to pick up another
Healing Shroom on your way out. You might want to get close to the
Zeto's dungeon (where the mist come from) and pick up Nail Glove in the
chest. It's back to Rikuroa Mountain.
1.5 R I K U R O A M O U N T A I N
########################################################################
Items to get: Healing Leaves x 2, Scarlet Jewel, Power Water, Guardian
Water, Phoenix, Speed Elixir, Vahn Fist, Healing Bloom x 2
You will play as Noa and Vahn in this part. First you control Noa until
you reach the Genesis Tree. Then you'll control Vahn until you join Noa.
Make sure that Noa has learnt her Tempest Break before you enter Rikuroa
Mountain. Just follow the path and pick up some items in the chests.
There is a healing leaf in the chest near the save point before you
enter the cave. Inside the first cave, you can find a Scarlet Jewel and
a Power Water in the chest. There is a boss waiting for you at the end
of this cave ( The Golem ). Just concentrate your attacks on him and let
Terra do the healing job. Use Noa's Tempest Break 3 times and that
should do the trick. This is an easy battle. You'll get a Guardian Water
from the Golem. You'll automatic exit the cave. Now enter the second
cave and take Phoenix from the chest. You can save your game before you
exit the cave. After the sequence, you will control Vahn again. Just
follow the path and jump from one stone to the other. Before you reach
the last stone on the north, take the south path first to pick up Speed
Elixir in the chest. Now, head back north and enter the cave. You'll
arrive at a T intersection.
Take the right path first to get some goodies. Follow the path and exit
the cave. Then enter the second cave.In the second cave, you'll jumping
again from one stone to another. After you 6th jump, instead of jumping
up, jump to your right to pick up a Healing Leaf in the chest. Then
proceed to the top. Follow the path to exit the cave and pick up a Vahn
Fist from outside. Now head back to the first cave where the T
intersection is. Take the left path now and pick up a Healing Bloom in
the chest before you enter the 2nd cave. Save your game at the save
point before you join Noa to fight Caruban ( the boss ). If your Gimard
level is at least level 2, then it should of use here. Noa should use
her Tempest Break and Vahn should heal the party when necessary. Caruban
has very damaging attacks. His fire ball thingie does a 100+ damage to
both characters. His normal attacks are also very damaging, about 100+
damage too.When you beat Caruban you'll get a Healing Bloom. After
reviving the genesis tree, head back to Drake Castle.
1.6 B A C K A T D R A K E C A S T L E
########################################################################
Items to get:Water Key, Platinum Card, Healing Leaves, Swift Water,
Fightning Robe, Healing Leaves X10 / Healing Leaves X5 / Magic Leaf.
Now go back to Drake Castle to get a hero's welcome. You'll also get the
Water Key.After that, go to the room on left of throne room and check
the upper left corner for a Platinum Card. Now go back to the previous
room and enter the room on the right of throne room to have a nap and
save your game. You can also talk to the people in the castle to gain
some information. After that go down to the 2nd floor to pick up a
Healing Leaf in the chest. Back down to the 1st floor, pick up the
Healing Bloom inside the left room and a Swift Water in the right room.
There something you can do inside the castle courtyard. When you talk to
Noa in front of the weapon shop, she'll ask you what money is, answer
that you don't know and the arms dealer will give you a fighting robe
for free. Now, when you talk to Noa in front of the item shop, there are
3 possibilities. You can get 10 Healing Leaves if you answer all of
Noa's questions correctly. You'll get 5 if you answer 2 questions
correctly. Finally, you just get Magic Leaf if you didn't get any
correct answer. Here is the correct answers :
1. Healing Berry
2. Escape from dungeon
3. Wats
However, there's nothing you gain from Noa's question in front of the
inn. After Noa rejoins your party, go back to the weapon shop and buy
better equipment for Noa. It's up to you to do whatever you wanna do!
Then leave the castle.
That's all for now folks!
------------------------------------------------------------------------
ART MOVES
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Art moves are skills you can learn by going into a battle and just
pressing a combination of Highs, Lows, Rights and Lefts. Other art moves
are learnt by reading books or getting other people to teach you. This
section is optional, so if you want to figure it out yourself, DON'T
READ THIS! But on the other hand, there are those that are too lazy to
do that, so just look here! They deal more damage than a normal attack
but they naturally take more AP. Remember that you need enough AP to
activate the skill you want to use. Legend: L= Left, R= Right, U= Up, D=
Down. These were contributed by my friend so I dunno whether they are
all correct, but they should be. If there are any errors, please e-mail
me.
