Walkthrough =============================================================================================== Note: Unfortunatly this walkthrough is missing some magirocks/items, But if you look at the 'magirocks location' section and 'secrets' section you can find what you're looking for. ==============================================3.1============================================== Chapter 1 - The Outset Contents : Tower 1 Tower 2 Tower 3 Tower 4 Tower 5 As soon as you have control after the opening conversation, go speak to the Elder, who lives in the same house as you. Go over to the weavers house, north of your own, and apologize to the weaver. Return to your house. Go to the room with the strange locked blue door. It's your choise whether you help them open it or not. If you want to open it, throw two pots at the door and it'll break. If not, everyone except you and one other will be sucked into the door. Go in the door and all the way to the bottom. You should have noticed by now that something's wrong. Go down all the way to the bottom and you'll hear a cry for help. All you have to do is touch the box. You'll release a bat-like creature called 'Yomi'. This is a good time to become accustomed to the box. Make sure you equip the CrySpear and the Clothes. Afterwards, talk to Elle who has arrived in the corridor. When she turns to ice, try to leave the house. The Elder will be blocking your way, so talk to him. You're in pretty deep smeg. After the talking's finished, go into the Elder's room and nick his treasures - an SBulb and 50 Gems. Leave the Elder's house, a gate has appeared at the southern part of the village. Exit it and head west to get to the first tower. Tower 1 Level Hint - The CrySpear is a good weapon as it slowly rejuvenates your HP. Treasure - SBulb, 3 MagiRock. The first tower you come across is southwest of Crysta. Walk up to the door and tell the door that you want to rescue your friends. You'll be allowed access to the tower. This tower is easy, basically a bit of a warm up for things to come. Practice your moves here. Plus, you don't need to use any SBulbs here, as either the CrySpear will restore your health, or you can go back to your house in the village and sleep to fully restore your health. Kill everything in your site, as experience is important even now. Make your way to the second floor and kill everything. One of the bugs will release a spirit, giving some advice and opening a door. Go through the new door (east of the stairs you originally came up). Kill the two guards on this floor to release another spirit. Now head to the treasure chest at the higher part of the screen at the southwest area. There's a broken window that you can jump through. Climb the chains outside the tower to progress to the fourth floor. A little to the northeast is a staircase which leads to a MagiRock. Go up to the fifth floor and talk to the guardian and he'll disappear leaving four orange bugs(called Huballs). Destroy them all to hear the Guardian again. You'll restore Eurasia, releasing all the people from the weavers house back in the village from their icy state. You'll be warped back to outside the tower on the world map. Head north to the second tower. Tower 2 Level Hint - Buy an Ice Ring from the MagiRock shop back in the village. It will prove useful here. Treasure - SBulb, 3 MagiRock, 30 Gems. Defeat all the monsters on the first floor to release a spirit giving advice. There are two statues with red jewels in their foreheads in this area, both can be pushed away from the waterfall to reveal staircases. Go down the east one first. Flip the switch then go back up the stairs, and down the west stairs behind the other statue. Go south from the staircase to find an SBulb, then flip the second red switch to open the north door. Go in it. Flip all 4 statues to progress. Go up to the fourth floor. There's a MagiRock in the northwest corner. There are four statues in this area with red jewels in their foreheads. Pushing these up, down or towards the center of the room releases a load of purple bugs which die with one hit. This is a good place to get experience, as you can exit then re-enter the room and go for more gems and Exp. When done, move all four red jewel statues away from the center of the room. Go up to the fifth floor. Face the southern switch and equip the jewel box. Use the jewel box and you'll get a choice of what to use. Make sure you're in a straight line facing the switch. Choose the Ice Ring and an icicle will shoot out and flip the switch. If you don't have any Ice Rings, throw a pot at the switch. The barrier will drop, so talk to the Guardian. There's no boss in this tower, so just go in the door. You'll resurrect South America and some more villagers. Head east of Tower 1 and 2 to reach Tower 3, which is situated north of Crysta. Tower 3 Level Hint - You'll need to be fairly nifty at jumping around for this level. Treasure - SBulb, Sleepless Seal, 3 MagiRock. Run across the blocks that re-positioned when you arrived. Go either east or west, it makes no difference. On the first floor, take the eastern door to get a MagiRock. There is also a treasure chest next to the path leading to the center door, go through the wall to get it. It's just an SBulb though. Go through the center door. Avoid the wall monsters in this area (Gardners), as they are very annoying. You can only kill them with a dash-jump-attack (scattering) or jump-attack. Dash past the spears. In the next screen, four switches control four blocks. Use timing here so that the four blocks make a bridge going in a southeast direction, and cross over. Go up to the next floor. Take either the east or west path on the next floor. Make your way north, then go up another floor. On the fourth floor, jump to the eastern platform to get a MagiRock, then jump to the platform west of the entrance to get the Sleepless Seal. This protects you from the Gardner's sleep spell, enabling you to kill them easier. Flip both the red switches in this area, kill all the bugs that appear, then go through the door. On the fifth floor, walk down the path until you get to a platform, and the Guardian talks to you. You get stranded on a plus-sign platform with 3 high cadet wizards. Only one of them is the real one, so use your most powerful attacks on them until you hit the right one. Once you've beaten them, go through the door to resurrect Africa and a couple more villagers. Go directly east from Tower 3 to get to Tower 4. Tower 4 Level Hint - Balance is of the essence in this tower. Learn to cross ropes. Treasure - MBulb, LifePotion, 44 Gems, Crystal Thread, 3 MagiRock. You'll talk to the Guardian straight away. Destroy the 3 wizards he summons. In the first floor cross the rope either to the left or to the right, you'll end up in the same place no matter what. Jump down from the top part of the floor. This will take you to Basement 1. There are four holes in this area - one in each corner of the lower part of the room. Jump down either the top-right, top-left or bottom-left holes. These will all take you to the same places. The bottom-right is the correct way to go, but we'll deal with that later. Go through any of the other three holes to get to Basement 2. Take the western staircase in the upper half of the room, which will take you to the upper half of Basement 1. Walk to the southwest corner to get 44 Gems, and southeast corner to get MagiRock. Go up the stairs. Continue up another flight of stairs. You'll end up in a room full or ropes to cross. Take the rope furthest south to get a MagiRock. Cross over to the west side platform. Get the MBulb and the LifePotion from the northwest corner of the area. Either fall down the holes to Basement 1, or take the stairs all the way back to Basement 1. This time fall down the bottom-right hole. Go up the staircase you land by. Continue up the stairs, don't jump down the large hole, continue up more stairs until you get to the third floor. Follow the path until it goes off north. Go in the room and open the treasure chest to get the Crystal Thread. Leave the room, and follow the path along until you reach two ropes. Take the lower of the two to get to the other side, then get the MagiRock from the southeast corner of the room. From the east side of this room, go north until you come across another rope. Cross it to get to the control room. You'll hear the guardian's voice again. To kill the boss, hit the end of it's tail, the gold Huball and it'll break free from the chain. Destroy it, then do the same with the next Huball of the chain, until they're all destroyed. This is the first tricky boss, as it can be quite fast sometimes. After you've destroyed them, you'll resurrect North America and a penultimate group of villagers. Go back to Crysta village and go to the weavers house. Equip the Crystal Thread, then talk to Elle. You'll end up in bed (on your own though !). Go visit Elle in the middle of the night and talk to her. Revisit her in the morning and you'll get the ElleCape. Now go back to Tower 4, and head southwest to Tower 5, which is on a penninsula far to the east. Tower 5 Level Hint - Make sure you equip the ElleCape before you enter the final tower. Treasure - No treasures on this level. As long as you have the ElleCape equipped, you can get past the Guardian. Walk up the stairs. Destroy all the enemies on the second floor, then go up the next flight of stairs. Repeat this process for the next two floors until you're at the fifth floor. Take the path to the right. You'll talk to the Guardian. Go through the door he was blocking and walk down the corridor. This is the first real boss you face. Boss Tactic : SHADOWKEEPER The Shadowkeeper will first start pushing you down the corridor. It'll also shoot laser beams at you, and try and grab you with his claws. Fit into the space separating the lasers and smash him. He'll lose one of his claws after a bit. The lasers stay, but it'll try and hit you with his other claw a bit faster. This makes him harder to hit, but keep trying. Eventually, he'll lose his other claw and use his tail to attack you, as well as those damn lasers. Dodge his tail and keep hitting his head. Standing in the corner will avoid the lasers, but not the tail, so keep moving. He should then lose his face (!). The lasers will now stop. Hallelujah. But his tail becomes charged with electricity. This is easier to avoid then his previous attacks, so keep hitting him and he'll soon be destroyed for good. Once you've beaten it, the Guardian will appear again. Go into the control room to resurrect Australia. Before going back to Crysta, there's two more places to resurrect. There's small house to the west of Tower 5. Kill the big guards. You'll come across three fire monsters. Either use an ice ring against them, or throw the pots at them. When they're dead, enter the control room to resurrect Polynese. There's one more (optional) area to resurrect. Head north from Tower 3 to get there. It looks like a cluster of snow, so it's hard to find. Enter it, then simply move the rocks out of the way to get into the control room and resurrect Mu. Now go back to the village. Everyone should be restored now. 100% de-iced. Talk to the Elder, then go out of the village and to the large hole east of the village. Talk to the Elder again. When he asks if you're ready, say no. Go and say goodbye to Elle. Then go back to the Elder and agree to go down the hole. Congratulations, you've completed Chapter 1. ==============================================3.2============================================== Chapter 2 - Resurrection of the World Contents : The Ra Tree Grecliff Zue Canyon Eklemata You wake up from the fall in a desolate baronless world. No plants, no animals and no humans. Just you. Leave the wastleland to find yourself in the Amazon. Head south and enter the pond on the peninsula. A voice beckons you over. There's a save point and a shop in the area (the spirit poses as an item shop). Things to buy from the shop - SBulbs, MBulbs, PCures. Make sure you have a couple of each. Then crawl into the hole in the tree and you'll enter the Ra Tree. The Ra Tree Level Hint - The treasure chests for the level are disguised as grey shaking pods. Treasure - PCure x 3, SBulb x 2, MBulb x 3, Lifepotion, 42 Gems, RaSpear, Leafsuit, MagiRock, Giant Leaf, Ra Dewdrop. There's a save point in the first room. Go through the doorway, then follow the corridor to the fork. There's three possible paths - left, right or down a staircase. Go left and the cavern will guide you along. You'll come across a yellow flower that you have to kill. This will release a spirit, who'll give you some info and top up your HP. Continue right until you reach a dead end and a couple of fish. Kill the fish and a bridge will form. Cross over. You'll end up at a room with a huge hole in. Fall into it. You'll land near some water, walk east and up the stairs. From here go west, then south. Continue along the cave until you get to a rock. Push it out the way to continue. Go north and destroy another monster to release another spirit. Follow the spirit, then climb down the vine. Talk to the purple lily at the base of the vine and you'll get the Giant Leaves, which allow swimming. Theres also a MagiRock to swim to in the southwest corner. A different flower talks about a 'Parasite' - this is the main boss of the level. Go back up the vine and back to the rock you pushed. Head towards the northeast staircase and go down it. Swim across the water. Follow the next few rooms along until you get to the bottom floor, and talk to the lily to get the Ra Dewdrop. You can keep swimming east to get treasure and talk to more flowers. Head all the way back to where you landed after the drop from the huge hole, and swim to the northern side of it. If you haven't already, get the Ra Spear and a couple of other treasures. Head towards the northeast door. Before entering it, equip then use the Ra Dewdrop. This makes Ark immune to the Parasite's poison. Boss Tactic : PARASITE There are 6 holes. You have to hit the orange claw that appears in a random order from the holes. It's best to use your dash-jump-attack or dash-attack against it as quickly as you can. Eventually it will change its attack. A blue centipede type creature comes out of the holes, and an eye has appeared in the tree. Use your most powerful attacks on the eye whenever it is open, otherwise you won't damage it. Occasionally, five orange claws will appear - you must kill all of these to open the eye again. As soon as the eye opens, don't worry about the blue centipede, just stand in front of it and use your turbo-attack. You'll ne hurt when the eye jumps out of the hole. Make sure you use your S & MBulbs effectively. Once you've beaten the Parasite, you'll be transported back to outside the tree where all the plants and greenery have been brought back to life. Talk to the Ra Tree and any other plants in the area you want to, then leave the Ra Tree and head north. Go through the pass in the mountain to get to Guiama, go straight through, talking to the flower on the way. When you leave Guiama head north into Colorado. You'll find two mountains here, one in the middle on it's own, and one to the west. The one to the west is the bird sanctuary, there are two spirits here that sell items and magic rings, and also a save point. Enter the solitary mountain with a path leading to the peak. This is GreCliff. GreCliff Level Hint - You'll need the Sharp Claws to scale the odd looking walls. these are found later on in the level. Treasure - MBulb, StrPotion, 87 Gems, RocSpear, 4 MagiRock. Head east and enter the first door you come across. Follow the path along, jumping up the stairs on your way. Follow the path through the next room until you come across two rocks. You can push the first one out of the way, but the second one is a rock monster you'll need to defeat. Exit the room to go back outside. Take the first vine on the right and enter the door you come across. Get the StrPotion, then go back down the vine you climbed and head east until you come across a doorway. Enter the door then head north and up the stairs. Head to the northwest of this room and exit. Follow the path until you get to some ramps. Go up these ramps to reach a door. Don't go in, follow the cliff wall on the left. You'll come across a different door that exits to the outside. Climb up the vine to the east, down the next one, up the third one and enter the door. Kill the two rock monsters, then get the RocSpear which has the ability to destroy certain rocks. You'll need to equip it and use it against the rock that dropped in the doorway. Head back the way you came until you get back to the room with two ramps. Go up the staircase. Jump over the gaps in the floor in the west side of the room and exit back outside. Head east and climb the vine. Grab the MagiRock then enter the door. Follow the path along, and destroy the 4 rocks blocking your path. Continue south through the room and go back outside. Jump up the cliff ledges and go west. jump down more cliff ledges until you get to a hole in the ground. There's a MagiRock down the vine south of the hole. Climb down the vine leading into the hole. Head left when in the hole to reach the other side. Once you've landed, head west to get an SBulb. You'll come across another hole with a vine. Go down the hole and fall out the other side. Head west after landing. Walk down the long path and enter the door. Kill the monsters or leg it to the northeast door. In the next room, dash across the stone bridges and use the dash-attack at the end to kill the annoying Quakers. Exit the door at the end to get back outside. Jump up the cliff until you reach the thicket. Pick up the shiney object to get the Sharp Claws. You don't need to equip these - they work automatically. They're used to climb the walls with the circular holes in. Climb up the wall next to the thicket to get the MBulb. Climb back down and return to the spot where you landed after falling through the hole. Now go east. Enter the first door and go through the room until you come back outside. Now climb up the cliff. To the west are 87 Gems and a MagiRock. Keep going west until you come across another hole in the ground. Jump down the hole. Head west after landing to get back to the beginning of GreCliff, of head east after landing until you get to a climbable wall. Scale it all the way to the top to get to the boss. Boss Tactic : DARK TWINS You fight the Dark Twins on a ledge which you can fall off - in which case you'll have to start the battle all over. So try and stay on the ledge. The first attacks are from the Green bird, who'll shoot flaming feathers at you. After this attack, he'll drop from the sky and start spinning on the ledge. This'll produce winds capable of blowing you off the edge - so be careful and make sure you're walking against the wind. Hit the green bird before he starts spinning, then wait for him to fly low enough to use your dash-jump-attack. After you've scored a couple of hits on Greenie, he'll call it's twin brother - the Brown bird to help him. Unlike conventional tag-team rules, Greenie will stick around doing it's normal attacks while Brownie will drop unspeakable things on you. Basically, avoid everything and attack Greenie until they both explode. After defeating the Dark Twins, you'll hear a voice, then wind up at the Bird Sanctuary. All the birds have been resurrected. Now it's suprising how many people get stuck on this next bit. You have to get to the wall at the back of the sanctuary and scale it. This takes you to the Kingbird's nest. Keep going up to get to the King of the Kingbirds. He'll thank you, then ask you to go to Windvale to awaken the wind. Go down from the King's perch and talk to any of the three gulls to hitch a lift over to Windvale. When in Windvale, throw the 3 stones into the crevasse and you'll hear a voice. Windvale reawakens. Return to the gull that's waiting for you outside and fly back to the sanctuary. The king will give you the WindPin. Talk with one of the gulls again, and agree to go to Safarium - paradise of animals with him. When you arrive at Safarium, you'll notice that there's no animals in sight. There's a save point in the northwest corner and two spirits in the northeast corner, selling items and magic rings. Leave Safarium and head south. There's a spot between the mountains that has palm trees in. This is Zue. Zue Level Hint - You can climb under some bushes - look for the small, dark holes. Treasure - MBulb, SBulb, PCure, DefPotion, LifePotion, 65 Gems, Sticker, 3 MagiRock. Once you've entered Zue, head west. Then walk north at the next screen and crawl through the bushes. You'll get to a fork in the road with 3 possible routes. Take the northeast path. Travel north until you come across another 3 route fork and a dead tree. Kill the lizard monster, then go west towards a dead end. Kill the turtle to release a spirit. Head back to the dead tree and go north. Head east at the dry riverbed and kill the two lizards. One of them releases a spirit. Head back the way you came, and take the path to the south first. Kill the turtle in this area to release a third spirit. Go back to the dry riverbed and head north. Crawl through the bushes then hop down into the river. Kill the frog to release the fourth spirit. Follow the path to get to the first rainfall altar. After they disappear, go back outside to find that green has returned to this part of Zue. just three more altars to resurrect. Jump in the river and get the treasure from the island surrounded by the new river. Crawl back through the bushes and head east. Then crawl through the bushes in the northeast corner to get two treasure chests. Crawl back and head directly south. Jump into the river and swim east. Get out of the river in the next screen and get the treasure chest to the north. Head back and use the RocSpear to destroy the rocks that are blocking your path. Destroy the turtle to release the first spirit of the area. Continue east, then crawl through the bushes to the north. Destroy the turtles to release the second spirit. Get the treasure. Crawl back through the bushes and follow the path. You'll come across a dam. Kill one of the frogs so that it exhales an orb at you, forcing you against the unstable wall. This will destroy it. Destroy the second frog to release the third spirit. Continue along the riverbed until you get to the rainfall altar. Don't go in just yet, you need the fourth spirit first. Go west until you bump into a lizard. Destroy it to release the fourth spirit, then get the MagiRock that it was protecting. Head back to the altar to resurrect the second part of Zue. Swim south in the newly formed river until you reach the spot that you originally jumped into the water and climb out. Push the left stump into the water then, using it as a bridge, push the second one out of the way. There are two treasure chests to the north. Destroy the lizard in this screen to release the first spirit of this area. Go south until you jump down into another dry riverbed. Destroy the frog to release the second spirit. Follow the riverbed south and destroy another frog to release the third spirit. There's a MagiRock if you continue along the riverbed. Go back to the two stumps. Go to the other side and swim south. Get out the water after the next bend and destroy the frog to release the fourth spirit. Jump back in the river and swim south until you reach the third altar. You can continue swimming west to get another MagiRock. Go in the altar to resurrect this part of Zue. Once again, go back to the two stumps. Cross over to the east side of the river. Continue until you get to the dry riverbed. It's now filled with water. Swim down this river until you get to the fourth and final rainfall altar. Enter the altar to fight the boss of Zue. Boss Tactic : STORM MASTER This guy has several attacks that need avoiding. He'll spit green flames at you which are hard to avoid. You're best chance to hit him is when he extends his arms to try and hit you. Hit him once using the dash-jump-attack or dash-attack, then retreat, as he will fold his arms, thus protecting his body. Eventually, he'll become just a head, then you'll both start falling down a hole. This is where it starts to get hard. Along with his green flame attack, he'll chuck rocks at you. Occasionally, he'll swoop close enough for you to do a jump-attack or dash-jump-attack. It may take time, but he'll soon be dead. A voice is heard again. You'll end up in Safarium with all the animals revived. Talking to a rhino reveals dangers of the lions den, but head into it anyway. You'll be saved by King Neo - king of all animals. Talk to Neo's wife, the lioness lying (lion/lying - geddit !!!) next to Neo. She'll ask you to go check up on their cub, Liem. Leave Safarium and head south to the canyon. Canyon Level Hint - Kill all the enemies on each screen before talking to Liem, this makes the tasks easier. Also - Liem needs to exit each screen before you, otherwise you'll have to redo the last screen. Treasure - No treasures on this level. This is one of my favourite parts of the game. Upon entering the Canyon, talk to the plant, then head south down the vine. Once you've landed, head west and destroy the birds to rescue Liem. You now have to accompany him through the canyon ritual. Travel west, killing all monsters before Liem gets near them, otherwise they'll hurt him. Jump up the ledges, then go east. Push the rock against the wall, then climb after Liem and follow him to the next screen. Talk to Liem, then follow him up the ledges to the next area. You'll end up in a maze. Liem will take a wrong turn, so follow him and when he stops, talk to him to get him moving in the right direction. He'll stop again halfway through the maze, talk to him and tell him to go right. Continue west through the maze to the next screen. Destroy all of the birds, then Liem will try and cross the unstable bridge. Walk slowly behind him very closely - the rocks fall a while after being stepped on, so keep close to him. Once over, head east. Climb to the top of the next cliff (you can't beat him, so don't even try), the two of you will head west. He'll go off somewhere after sensing a monster, you have to climb down a vine and walk west to face the boss. Boss Tactic : MUD DOLL The key here is to walk around constantly to not get hit. Once the Mud Doll stops spitting rocks at you, (easy to avoid if you just block -Wertigon) pick up the rock under Liem's ledge and power-throw it at the Mud Doll. Avoid the Mud Doll's rocks while Liem gets another rock for you. The Mud Doll has about 100HP, so it won't be too hard to kill. After you beat him, you'll be tricked and stranded on a cliff ledge below. Liem defeats the Mud Doll and comes down to rescue you. He finds and keeps the Starstone as a token of his victory. Liem sends a seagull down to rescue you, and you end up in Safarium. Go back to the lions den and talk to Neo. He'll give you the Neo Fang weapon. Leave Safarium and head east past the canyon. Enter Indus R. The monkey will make a bridge out of Rhino's. Cross the river and head east for Tibet. There's a mountain you can enter a tad south of Tibet. Eklemata Level Hint - Yeti's only attack you if you disturb them. It's best to leave them alone. Treasure - Stardew x 2, LifePotion, 99 Gems, FirePike, IceSuit, Snowgrass Leaf, 4 MagiRock. Head west straight away to get a MagiRock. The flower gives a brief description of Eklemata. Climb the vine in the northeast area. Climb up the next vine, ignoring the yeti's. Continue east and climb up another vine. Climb down the vine in the next screen, after Yomi describes the Yeti in the hot spring. Go into the cave. Pick up the rocks placed between two ramps and throw 'em out the way. Continue through the cave, then climb the vine that is quite hard to see, as it is dark. Go west until you reach a vine leading down into a hole. Jump down this to get the FirePike, then climb back up the staircase. Climb back up the vine that was hard to see, then head north, then west until you reach the ramp furthest left. Run down the ramp and the wall will give way. Get the IceSuit, then repeat the ramp process for the right hand ramp. This leads to a staircase. Continue through the cave until you're back outside. Talk to the flower to get the Snowgrass Leaf - this heals wounds. Make your way back to the yeti in the hot spring, then equip and use the Snowgrass Leaf on the spring to cure the yeti. Follow the yeti north and allow him to throw you to the other side of the river. Go north. Climb the vines until you reach a T-Junction, then take the eastern path until you reach a cave. Get a MagiRock from here, then go back to the T-Junction and continue west. There's another MagiRock to the south end of the ledge. Go north and climb the vine. You should be in a large field of snow. Go north, and climb the vine. Enter the cave, then leave to face an avalanche. It's impossible to outrun. You'll awake in an icy cave with two goats in. Follow the gate to see her dead husband. The game takes over for a bit, until night has passed, and the goat has knocked the wall down. Scale the wall and go back outside. There's some treasure to the south of the hole. There's also some treasure back up the vines in the snow field. Once you're done, walk south to the bridge. The snow has filled the riverbed, climb down the vine and head east and enter the cave. There's treasure to the west of the cave entrance. Go east and get some more treasure, then continue out of the cave. Climb up the first vine and head northwest to get the MagiRock, then climb and descend vines until you reach a hole in the ground. Jump down it, then jump down another one. Go through the cave, exit the cave, then climb the next vine to get to the boss. Boss Tactic : DARK MORPH Dark Morph turns into several enemies, so effectively this is like several bosses in one. His first form is the Yeti. It'll shoot crystals all over the area, then start a blizzard. You can't hit the yeti, so stand at the bottom-right corner and hold dash + down and right on the control pad. Eventually, the yeti will transform back to Dark Morph. The next transformation is the wizard. Zelda fans will remember the tactics of beating Aganhim/Spirit Ganon, you have to hit his boomerang's back at him. Pretty easy - just as soon as he appears, stand facing him in a straight line. After a few hits, he'll turn back into Dark Morph again. The NeoFang is the best weapon to use here. Try to score a couple of hits on Dark Morph whilst he moves around the screen. Use your dash-jump-attack move. He'll soon turn into a group of bats. These are nearly impossible to avoid, so chances are you'll be hit at least once. The bats will turn back into Dark Morph, where you can defeat him once and for all. Ark hears another voice, and then passes out whilst the resurrection of humanity takes place. Congratulations, you've completed Chapter 2. ==============================================3.3============================================== Chapter 3 - Resurrection of the Genius Contents : Louran Taklama Desert Loire - Groom Quest Norfest Forest Sylvain Castle Freedom, Nirlake and Liotto Great Lakes Cavern Dragoon Castle Beruga's Lab The 5 Starstones Chapter 3 is definitely the biggest of the four, so here goes : Once you have control, get out of bed and look around the town of Lhasa. Right at the back of Lhasa is a long corridor leading to Kumari. He informs you that you can't talk to plants or animals any more. Damn. He'll give you the Bone Pin. After the monk has talked to Kumari about MeiHou, go to the entrance of Lhasa and try to talk to MeiHou. He'll refuse until he speaks to Kumari, so go and listen in on their conversation by going all the way back to see Kumari. Eventually, Kumari asks if you will go to Louran to get Meilin back for her grandfather, MeiHou. To get to Louran, leave Lhasa and head south, then back north passing through Yangtze. Cross the river to get to the Gobi. There's a secret forest northeast of the sandy area, where you can get a MagiRock. Then enter the Gobi, the entrance is roughly in the middle of the small patch of sand. You'll see Meilin, who'll try and run away. Run after her and eventually you'll enter Louran. Louran Level Hint - Things aren't what they seem in this town. Most zombies need to be killed twice, once for the head, then once for the body. Treasure - MBulb x 1, SBulb x 1, StrPotion, 500 Gems, 178 Gems, LightRod, Rags, 5 MagiRock, RedScarf, HolySeal. You should notice immediately that Louran is definitely not the destroyed town you were told it was. The villagers are friendly towards you, and don't know anything about Louran being viewed as a ghost town. Head for the southwest corner of town and enter the next area, follow the path and enter Tamjin's house. Talk to him and tell him to take his money to his grave. Go through Tamjin's house to get to Meilin's house directly behind it. Talk to Meilin's parents, then go into their bedroom to get a MagiRock, then go back out of the room and crawl into the chimney to get to Meilin's room. She doesn't seem to like you, does she ? Go back and talk to her mum, then go back to the main square of Louran and go to the northwest corner to enter a different area. Talk to the guy that says he's gonna build a door in the back of the house one day. I didn't do this first time round, and therefore was stumped a bit later on, so remember what he says. Go to the inn and talk to the innkeeper, then enter the room to your left and talk to Hedyn, then go to bed. Yomi wakes you up, saying that something isn't right. Hedyn has gone, grab the MBulb from the treasure chest and leave the room. The entire population of Louran have become zombies ! Yomi offers a quick explanation, when he's done go to the back of the inn and jump down the hole. You'll be in Tamjin's basement, so head for Meilin's house and go to her room. There's nobody there, but if you look closely (I also missed this on my first visit to her room) you'll see Meilin's RedScarf on the floor. Pick it up and go back to Temjin's house. Head for the front of the house and you'll bump into Hedyn. God knows how he stays alive. He hasn't got a clue whats going on, exit Temjin's and head for the main square. Head for the southeast corner and take the path into the next area. The first house you come across has a MagiRock inside. Go down the side alley separating the house and a wall, and head north. Enter the house you come across and go through until you're back outside again, then head south and enter another house. Crawl into the chimney and go down the stairs to meet Hedyn again, who must have used a teleporter or something to get all the way over there before you. Anyway, you can read the books to get a gist of what the hell is going on. You can rest in the bed to regain any lost HP's. Go back through the chimney and go into the room to the east, then jump into the hole in the floor. Get the HolySeal and equip it. This will protect you against otherwise annoying ghosts. Push the table out of the way to continue left, making your way back to the main square again. Go to the northeast corner of the square to reach the next area. Follow the path until you reach a dead end, then enter the house. Go north in the house to get the treasure chest containing the LightRod. You might notice that it actually weaker than the BronzePike, but it is definitely the best weapon for zombies, destroying both their head and body in one go. Brutal. Head back to the main square, and enter the house to the northwest. Use common sense and move the boxes out of the way. If you fluff it up, you can leave and re-enter to start again. There are two chests to get, one containing a PCure and the other containing Rags. I don't know the significance of the rags, as their defense level sucks. Maybe they've aged and rotted like everything else in this godforsaken town. Therefore, I wonder if it's possible to get this chest before the town becomes zombified, to get a spanking new secret armour ? Ah well, just a thought. Exit the building and continue northwest to another area. This is the bit I was stuck on for days - follow the zombie's into the back of the house, remember the guy had said earlier he was going to build a door in the back of the house ? Well he did. Luckily for you. Tables fly at you if you walk in a horizontal or vertical line to them, so watch out. They also hurt you when they explode, after hitting an obstacle, the pieces that fly off can hit you. Make sure you have the HolySeal equipped, then go through the chimney. The ghosts should ignore you. Continue through the house until back outside. Head north in this new area and enter the first house you come across to get 178 Gems. Most of the other houses are just zombie-filled deadends. Leave the house and go north, walking through a gap in the stone wall to reach another house. Don't go in just yet, instead go northeast and enter the house there to get an LBulb. Leave the house and head south, pass through another gap in a stone wall and enter the next house you come across. Go down the stairs and then continue through until you exit through a different house. Get the StrPotion, then go back into the house and back downstairs. Exit back outside the first house, then go south to get a MagiRock, then go southeast to get another MagiRock from inside the house. There's an exit to the southeast corner, take it to reach the new area. You're now in the cemetary, which means lots and lots of zombies. Oh Joy. Kill all the zombies, then go to the grave in the northwest corner, Tamjin's grave. Assuming you told him when he was alive to take his money with him to his grave, you can get 500 Gems from his grave. Head for the northeast corner of the cemetary and you'll meet Turbo, Meilin's pet dog. Equip the RedScarf and Turbo will catch Meilin's scent from it. Walk with Turbo out of the cemetary. Turbo'll start walking off, trying to find Meilin. Follow him to the house that you didn't enter earlier and then go down the stairs to the basement. Head to the far west room and crawl under the table. Meilin is hiding in a statue, and she'll show herself. She is fuming with Ark, and tells him he that she hates him. The spirits of Meilin's parents talk to her, then she'll leave with Turbo. Follow her and you'll meet MeiHou outside the house. When he's done talking, make your way out of Louran, talking to Hedyn on the way. Taklama North of where you entered the town of Louran is a campsite that the Nomads live in. None of them are that nice to you, except one of the three men by the camp fire, who'll tell you how to cross Taklama. The directions he gives you are as follows : Walk west until you find 3 boulders positioned in a triangle shape. Then walk south until you find a series of boulders shaped like a snake. Then walk northwest until you find some dragon skulls. Then walk north until you find a large skull. Leave the nomads and head west to Taklama desert. The directions are pretty straoght forward, head west and you'll come across three boulders, they'll stand out a fair bit in the desert, so you can't really miss them. Then head south until you come across more of the same boulders, shaped like a snake. This next one is the hardest one to find, head northwest, more north than west though. You should hopefully come across a large skull which you can go in the mouth to exit Taklama. Don't worry if you can't find this skull though, as if you walk northwest far enough, leaving the screen to the left will get you to the other side. Travel west after leaving Taklama and cross the river at Balkans. You'll come across the town of Loire, and Loire castle. There's a mountain area northeast of Loire where you can find a MagiRock. When ready, enter the town of Loire. Groom Quest Level Hint - There are no monsters in the castle to contend with. Treasure - LBulb, 500 Gems, 2 MagiRock, Mushroom, SleepPotion, JailKey, Protect Bell. Take a stroll around town and learn everything you can, then go to the inn and talk to Bounty. He'll con you big time, but Fyda, a lady warrior from the castle, turns up and and gets you out of the mess. She even gets Bounty to let you stay at his inn for free. Fyda mentions the groom quest tomorrow morning at the castle, then leaves. Stay at the inn overnight. When you wake up, go to the main room of the inn and talk to the chemist who has arrived overnight. Now go to Loire castle. Walk through the corridor and onto the first floor. Go west to the Guard's Chamber, talk to them to find out that one of them caught the great thief White Wind. He's in the dungeon if you want to talk to him. Go back to the first floor, and go west to get to the kitchen. Go into the pantry to get a MagiRock, then go back to the first floor. Enter the main doorway to get to the library, and the King and Princess's (separate of course) bedrooms. You can read the books in the library to find out more about the King's destructive history. You'll also find out about a town called Storkolm, which will suprise you later. Return to the first floor and go up the stairs, then enter the door guarded by the Castle soldiers. Talk to the guard inside the room, and say yes when he asks if you're here for the groom candidates. Go into the room on your right and talk to Royd, the guy with the blue hair who's in it for the princess' money. The guard will come in and tell you to go and meet with the King. Leave the room and go up into the next one. Talk to the chancellor, the white bearded guy in front of the King, then talk to the King, then talk to the Princess. Something weird's going on here ! She looks just like your Elle from Crysta, with slightly different coloured hair - even her name is Elle. She can't speak though, the chancellor then explains the challenge for the groom, the first man to cure the Princess' ailment gets to marry her. Ark is sent out and told to report if he finds anything out. Leave the castle and go north. Cross the river and enter the small house you see. Talk to Molly and he'll tell you where to find mushrooms. Leave Molly's and go east, into Mush Forest. It's quite hard to actually see the Mushroom, as it lives in the shadow of tree's. It's directly south of where you enter Mush forest, between two trees. There are two other treasure chests to find here, one contains a useful 500 Gems, the other contains an LBulb. Once you've found the mushroom, go back to the inn in Loire and equip the mushroom, then talk to the chemist, who'll be grateful, and tells you to come back later and he'll repay you. Sleep in the inn overnight and talk to the chemist in the morning, he'll give you the SleepPotion. Go to Loire castle and into the kitchen. Equip the SleepPotion and use it on the pot that's bubbling on the stove. You'll be told dinner is about to be served and told to leave the kitchen. You'll end up outside the castle, so go back in to find everyone's asleep. Head for the dungeon and talk to White Wind. He'll ask you to let him out, so go and get the JailKey from him, then equip it and release White Wind by using it on the cell door. He'll tell you about the King's treasure. Go to the first floor, and in the centre doorway. Go up the stairs, then take either the left or right passageways, then climb up the stairs. You'll bump into Princess Elle, who'll look at you, then leave. Enter the door above and push the guard out of the way. The door on the left is Princess Elle's room, the door to the right is the King's room. Enter the King's room and push the gold statue out of the way. Crawl into the small hole, then go up all the flights of stairs. At the top floor, you'll find a MagiRock and the ProtectBell. Leave the castle and go north, cross the river again, this time go northwest to get to Norfest forest. Norfest Forest Level Hint - Make sure you have the ProtectBell equipped. Treasure - MBulb x 1, LifePotion, 389 Gems, RingMail, 3 MagiRock, Dog Whistle, Portrait. Norfest is on the tip of the peninsula you come across. Go in, and equip the ProtectBell. This will chime when you take the correct path, if you take the wrong one, you'll go back a few screens. Royd is at the entrance of Norfest, talk to him then try and enter the forest. He'll stop you and tell you to be careful. Enter the forest. The ProtectBell will obviously chime, as this is the only possible path at this point. Head north until you reach a path that goes southeast. Go down there to get the RingMail, then continue north from the screen entrance and into the next area. The ProtectBell will chime whenever you take the correct path, here are the correct routes : Area 1 - North exit. Area 2 - North exit again, look for tree stumps if you can't see it. Area 3 - North again. Area 4 - East exit. Area 5 - Northeast exit, look for the large, unusual bushes, and go in that direction. You'll reach the bridge that takes you to Storkolm, but typically, it's broken so you have to go the long way round. Go east and follow the short path to the south. Go south again, don't go down the eastern path yet, instead go south and get the LifePotion that is hidden under the trees in the dead end. Go back and take the eastern path, then follow it south. Follow the lake round to the east. You can't kill the stump-hopping worms here, so make your way northeast and get the 389 Gems, then go northwest and exit the screen. Go north, then take the eastern path lined with small stumps. Follow the path round and you'll come across the Dog Whistle. Go back to the previous area, then follow the path round to the north, then to the south and try to leave the area to the south. A scream will stop you, destroy the bats and you'll have rescued Meilin, who'll follow you around. Go into the next area. Take the south path to get a MagiRock, then take the exit west of the area entrance. You'll reach the other side of the bridge. Head north. Take the northern path to get a MagiRock, then take the west path that takes you to another pathway, go north and into the next area. Go past the small pond and exit through the southwest corner. Get the MBulb, then go south from the chest to get a MagiRock. Go back to the chest and exit the area next to it. Cross the bridge and equip the Dog Whistle before you enter Storkolm. Enter Storkolm. It looks identical to your home village of Crysta, but there's no signs of any life at all. You'll suddenly be surrounded by wolves, so use the Dog Whistle and they'll leave you alone. If you don't use it, they'll just send you to the bridge outside Storkolm. You can only enter the Elder's house, but try to go in the weavers to get a small cut scene about Elle, then enter the Elder's house. Go to his room and open the two chests, one of which has the Portrait in. Meilin makes a suggestion, with a condition. She doesn't want you to marry the Princess. Wonder why. Try to leave Storkolm, she'll ask if you've done everything you need to. Tell her that you're going to return to the castle, then exit Storkolm to get back to the world map. Return to the castle. Go to the King's Chamber, Meilin will stop you before you have a chance to go in then take she'll take a look at the Portrait. Talk to the King, and Meilin will work her magic. It works and the Princess starts to talk. The King gets nervous and chucks you out of the chamber. You meet Meilin in the room outside, then stay at the inn overnight. Ark will have a dream where the Elder talks to him. Go outside the inn, a woman will stop you and tell you to be careful, the King died mysteriously in the night. Go to the fountain at the centre of Loire and stand in the gap in the crowd. Jean and Louis are candidates for the new town representative. Talk to Keinz outside the inn, he'll tell you that if you vote for the conservative Louis, Loire will never change, whereas the pro activist Jean will turn Loire into a great town. Enter any house, then exit and walk to the place north of the fountain where the queue of people are casting their votes. Stand in line, and when it's your turn, vote for Jean. Go back to the group of people by the fountain and Jean will announce the results. He wins over Louis by one vote, 25 to 24. He'll then ask Louis to help him, and Louis accepts. Go to the Magic Shop and buy as many ElecRings as you can afford/carry, then leave Loire and head west for the toll gate. You can now pass straight through the toll gate as the Monarchy of Loire are no more. Pass through the gate, then head south for the town of Litz. Explore the town, getting the LuckPotion from the northwest corner of town. Talk to everyone you meet, then go to the inn. Royd will be there, so talk to him. He says that Proncess Elle disappeared when the King died. Leave Litz, and go into the castle east of town. Sylvain Castle Level Hint - The enemies in here are huge ! Treasure - LBulb x 1, Stardew x 1, DefPotion, 651 Gems, Vest Armour, Ice Pick, 2 MagiRock, Tower Key, Black Opal, Topaz, Ruby, Saphire. The castle is in ruins. As soon as you enter, go north through the courtyard and into the castle itself. Head up the centre staircase, to look at the four strange paintings. Go through the doorway in the bottom-left corner to get to a Stardew. Go back to the entrance room, then go up the stairs to the upper level and then up the staircase on the left. You'll come across a crossroads. Head north to hear the Queen's voice. Kill the skeletons, then talk to the spirits that they turn into, to get some quite useful information. Go back to the crossroads and take the eastern path. Go down the stairs and follow the path to the west to get to the library. You can read several books here to learn a lot more about what you need to do in this castle. Go back to the crossroads, and this time go south. You'll wind up in a room with some large chandeliers in. There are also two doors in this room, take the one furthest east to get to the chapel. Kill all the monsters in the chapel and a spirit will appear, then it will follow you around. Go back to the chandelier room, and take the door furthest west to get to the Royalty chamber. Take the doorway in the southwest corner to get the Vest Armour, then search the rest of the Royalty chamber, which consists mainly of bedrooms, to get 651 Gems and a MagiRock. Make your way back to the main hall (middle door in chandelier room, then west at the crossroads), then staying on the upper floor, take the doorway in the northeast corner. You'll come across a statue and a dead end. The spirit emerges into the statue and attacks you. Typical. Kill the statue and a bridge will form on the platform below. Go back to the main hall, then go down the stairs in the centre of the room beneath the paintings, and head through the southeast doorway and over the bridge you created, then through the door at the end. You'll have a few possible routes in this next room, take the door to the northwest first. Follow the area to the Storage Room, where you get the Tower Key and the Ice Pick. Go back to the room after the bridge you made, this time go up the centre staircase. Yomi calls you over to investigate something, so go up to him. You need to enter a combination number to start the machine. To change the numbers, stand on the oil drums and push against the wall until the number changes, kind of like a hamster on a wheel technique. The combination code is '286', the year Columbus came back from his voyage without the Prince's. A click will signify the correct number. Head back to the previous floor, and take the northeast door to get to the Dining room and the Kitchen. You'll come across a small hole in the wall in the Kitchen, this is the stove. Crawl into it and continue crawling until you come across the Black Opal. Crawl out of the stove and take the exit to the south which leads back outside the castle. Equip the Tower Key, then unlock the door of the eastern tower and enter. Kill the guard to open the gate, then go into the sewers. Follow the path, getting the MagiRock and the DefPotion on the way, until you get to three snake statues. Reach into the mouth of the middle statue and flick the switch. This'll turn the acid back into water. Go back outside the tower, and making sure you still have the Tower Key equipped, unlock the western tower. Make your way up the stairs until you reach the top of the tower. Yomi will push you off the edge, and you'll jump from roof to roof until you reach the other side. Climb down the vine and grab the Topaz out of the snake's eye. Jump down the tower, then go back to the main hall of the castle. Go back up the stairs to the west of the upper level of the room, then go south to the chandelier room at the crossroads. The chandeliers have lowered due to the combination entry. Go to the chandelier furthest east and jump onto it. Be very careful, as if you miss and fall off, you receive a large sum of damage. Jump off the chandelier to the right to get the LBulb and the Ruby. Jump diagonally from the bottom-left corner of the platform you're on to get back onto the chandelier. Leave the chandelier room and head back to the main hall, then exit the castle to go back to the courtyard. The fountain acid has now turned to water, so jump into the fountain and swim around to get the Saphire. Go back inside the castle and walk up to the paintings. The jewels will react with the paintings and fly into each of the paintings eye sockets. A chandelier falls from the ceiling and creates a large hole in the floor. Jump into the hole. You'll land in the dungeon. 4 monsters start to spin round you, staying the same distance away from you no matter what you do. Once they stop spinning, you have the chance to hit one, although three of them are fakes. The top one is usually the real one, so as soon as they stop spinning, hit it. Eventually, you'll destroy it. Head for the eastern room and you'll see someone crouched down in the corner. Talk to him, and you'll be transported to a new area. Time to play 'Simon Says'. When the monster says "Simon says walk", you can walk towards her. I think you can run, (you CAN run. -Wertigon) but I'm not sure. When she says "Simon says stop" you have to stand still and do nothing until she says you can walk again. If you fail, you'll have to start the whole thing again from the start of the corridor, so nothing too drastic. As soon as you reach her, smack her with your spear. You'll be transported to the boss area. Boss Tactic : BLOODY MARY This is one of the hardest bosses in the entire game. For a start, you only inflict 2 HP's of damage on her. The Light Rod is the best weapon to use, but even that only takes of 4 HP. And seeing as Bloody Mary has roughly 300 HP, you'll be fighting for ages. Now is the time to use your ElecRings. To use them, equip the Jewel Box as an item and select the ElecRing as your choice to use it. These do about 46 HP damage, which makes the battle a lot easier. Use a combination of ElecRings and hitting her with your spear to succeed. If you don't have any ElecRings, it'll be a long hard battle. Circle around the room, make sure you keep moving as the jewels chase you, and she chucks her face at where you're standing. These can take off about 30 HP's if they hit you. Prepare for a long battle, but if this is too tedious, level up to higher than level 25. Level 26 can take off about 40 HP's per hit, whereas level 21 only takes off 2 or 3 HP's. Good luck ! Eventually, you'll beat her and be returned to the dungeon. Talk to the guy who you saw earlier huddled in the corner and he'll tell you that he is Columbus. You'll return to Litz. Make sure you save it, so you don't have to fight Bloody Mary again ! Go to the hospital in Litz and talk to Columbus and Dr Emilio. Talk to the nurse outside the waiting room and she'll give you the fever medicine. Stay at the inn for the night. Fyda will wake you in the night and asks you to escort Princess Elle to the new continent. Agree to do it, then you'll be allowed back to sleep. Before you go to the harbour, go back to Loire. It should have grown a lot by now. Go to Matis to get his painting, and then go to Madame Poille's and talk to Marily to get some Fancy Clothes. Leave Loire and go to Litz harbour, where Fyda and Princess Elle will be waiting for you. Climb aboard and you'll set sail to the west. Elle still refuses to talk to Ark, so head for the cabins and enter the room on the right to get an LBulb. Then go to your cabin to the left and go to sleep. You'll be woken up in the middle of the night by a scream, go to the decks. Ghosts have attacked Elle ! There are four ghosts in total, but once again only one of them is the real one. Eventually you'll scare the ghost off. Talk to Elle then go back to bed. Yomi'll wake you up when you reach the new continent, leave the ship and the sailor will give you a letter passed on from Princess Elle. She'll confess that it was her that killed the King (like we hadn't guessed), explain a few bits and bobs and then says she doesn't want to get Ark in trouble, so scarpered. There's a cabin at the port you land at that has a MagiRock in. Leave the port and head north into the city of Freedom. Freedom, Nirlake and Liotto Level Hint - This next bit is a break from fighting, so relax for a bit ! Treasure - LifePotion x 2, 500 Gems, 2 MagiRock, SeaSpear, SeaMail, Tin Sheet, Logs, Engagement Ring, WaterPin. Talk to everyone in town and you'll make a few new friends. There's a house northeast of town that has three fashion conscious girls in. Equip the Fancy Clothes and talk to them to give them the clothes. Then go north into the slums of Freedom and go to Bell's house. Agree to check up on his girlfriend, Amanda, at Nirlake. Go to Eddy's house next door and help him by pushing the machine until it explodes. Eddy gets his first insight about electricity. Got to the square and talk to the kid on the skateboard. His name is Perel, and he wants to hear of your adventures. Follow him to his house to meet the other kids, one of them, Anita, has gone missing. One of the kids mentions that she went off to Nirlake looking for Will, who is still working on his flying machine. Perel goes off looking for Anita. Leave Freedom and head north to the town of Nirlake, situated by some lakes. Talk to the sailor shivering next to a house, then talk to everyone in town. In one house, you'll find Amanda with some other bloke. Talk to her and she says that she's found someone new. The house in the southwest corner has a LifePotion in. Go off the screen to the east of the village to get to Will's house. Get the Tin Sheet from the floor, then leave Nirlake. There's a forest northwest of Nirlake, go there and completely kill the orange blobs that hide in the stumps, when they're dead pick up the logs from inside the stumps, then leave and return, repeating the process until you have 9 logs. Leave the forest and go to the cave at the Great Lakes, north of Nirlake. A man will stop you at the bridge. Servas is still waiting for his fiance, Nana, to return from Liotto. So that's were we've gotta go. Travel southwest from Freedom and you'll come across a spot by the river that you can enter, this is Colorado River. Equip the 9 logs and talk to the man. Give him all the logs, leave the screen then go back in. The bridge has been made, so cross it, picking up the MagiRock on your way. Head south from the other side of Colorado River to get to Guiama. Follow the coastline southeast, cross the bridge and enter the town of Liotto, the 24 hour carnival town. Win a MagiRock from the game involving knocking wooden cats over. It's fairly easy, as long as you know how to power throw (hold down dash when you throw). Go to the cotton candy stall and talk to Meilin, who'll follow you around for a bit. Leave the screen to the north to get to Corcobad Hill, where couples confess their feelings to one another, making their lives happy. Meilin tells Ark she loves him and wants to meet him here at night, then she pegs it. Go to the inn and sleep for free. You'll wake up in the middle of the night, go to Corcobad Hill and you'll meet Elle from Crysta. Eventually, Meilin appears from behind the statue, the mirage of Elle disappears. Meilin says that the woman he saw is the one he cares about, and not her. Being the little brat she is, she tells Ark she hates him, then legs it. Go to the port of Liotto and accept the captain's challenge of defeating the sea monsters. The captain will sail you there. The mermaid tower is probably the easiest level in the game. Make your way down the stairs, and kill the fish on your way. When you reach the fifth floor, you'll meet the boss. Boss Tactic : BIG FISH Relatively easy, the object is to move around so as to not get hit. There are also two green fish to content with. The main fish will shoot large, pink bubbles at you. Don't go for a face-to-face attack, or it'll swim away. If the green fish hit you, you'll force you to hit the wall furthest away. So try and avoid the green fish. When the main fish heads towards you, turn your back to him, then as soon as he's in striking distance, spin round and hit him. It shouldn't take that long to beat. Make your way back up the tower until you get to the second floor, now filled with mermaids. Talk to the mermaid with the crown on her head. It's Nana ! She tells you that she died at sea when going to meet Servas, then she'll give you the Engagement Ring and ask you to give it to Servas. Get the treasure chest containing a nifty SeaSpear from the stairs above Nana, then try and leave the mermaid tower, the mermaids will give you a Water Pin. You'll return to Liotto, the boat is now yours to use ! Your first destination should be southwest of Liotto, to the island at the southern part of the world, the South Pole. Sail your boat to the port on the west side and go in the cave to get a LifePotion and the SeaMail, then sail to Freedom port and dock your boat. Enter the Great Lake Cave north of Nirlake, equip the Engagement Ring and talk to Servas. He'll then fade away allowing access to the bridge he was blocking. Cross the bridge and enter the cave. Great Lakes Cavern Level Hint - Make sure you have several Serum's with you, the poison here is lethal. Treasure - 753 Gems, MagiRock, GeoStaff, Air Herb, Magic Anchor, WaterPin. Take the exit to the west when you enter the caves and follow the path to a dead end, where you can get the Air Herb, this allows you to breath underwater. Go back to the entrance room and swim/walk to the back wall, where there should be a waterfall. There's a small spot with bubbles in the water next to the waterfall, dive into it and you'll emerge on the other side of the wall southeast of the dive. You'll come across several air bubbles like this that you can dive into, although some of them are monsters who will leap out and attack you. Head east from where you emerged and swim down the waterfall you come across. Once you land, take the path leading east then go up the stairs. In the next area, go north, then take the northeast staircase to the next area. You should now be on a ledge next to a large pool of water. Ark see's a shadow in the water, and hears it cry for help, don't follow the shadow, instead swim south along the western wall. You'll eventually come across a spot where you can fall down the waterfall. Drop off the edge, leaning to the left, and you'll land on a platform. Get the Magic Anchor, then drop off the edge until you're at the bottom of the waterfall. The Magic Anchor makes sure that you don't get swept away by rapids. When you land, take the western path. If you want some serious cash, then don't dive in the water yet, instead take the doorway to the north. This will eventually lead you to the large lake where you saw the shadow, albeit on the upper level. Swim over to the right side to get 753 Gems, then fall back down the waterfall and make your way round back to the room that you went up the stairs from, this time dive into the water. When you surface, head north. The next area has a T-junction, take the west path and go up the stairs. Watch out for the frogs, they have quick attacks and can spit orbs that propell you to the wall the frog is facing, and red clouds of poison that can only be cured with Serum's and are often lethal. Make your way to the northwest corner of this room, then go through the corridor and up the ramp. Get the GeoStaff, and then leave. Follow the corridor east until you reach a hole with drops of water leaking out of the wall above it. Throw pots at the wall until it breaks, or just jump against the wall yourself for the same result, the wall will break and a waterfall will be created, flooding the floor below. Fall down the hole and you'll end up in the room with the GeoStaff in. Swim down the corridor and into the room that had the frogs in. Get the MagiRock from one of the new islands, then exit the water in the northeast corner of the room. Go down the ramp, then go east and enter the door. Follow the path along, then go down the stairs. Equip the Magic Anchor and swim to the opposite side of the lake, then climb out of the water and take the south path. Head down the steps, then head east to another waterfall. Swim under the waterfall from the bit of land jutting out nearest the waterfall, when you emerge go through the door. Swim in either direction, then down the waterfall to face the boss. Boss Tactic : HITODERON Don't worry about the huge dragon as this doesn't attack you, but there are three starfish that will. Two starfish will simply jump out of the water and land on your platform, and can then be hit easily. The third starfish is not that easy. It'll hover around above you in the air, then try and drop on your head. If it does hit you, it will be stuck to your head until the dragon shoots fire at it, frying it off your head. If it misses, however, you have a small chance to hit it, make sure you're quick as it'll jump back into the water almost immediately. Once they've been defeated, Gossie the water dragon will give you the BonePin, then lead you to Will. return back to Nirlake and go and see Will. He'll tell you his problems, when he's done leave Nirlake and go to Freedom port. Sail your boat south past Liotto, then west at the bottom of the continent. Sail northwest until you come across a cluster of islands. Some of the islands have ports on (God knows why), so stock up on supplies. You can get : 378 Gems, LuckPotion, 1403 Gems, and most important of all, the Speed Shoes. The treasure chests are found in areas quite a lot like miniature Zue's. The Speed Shoes are necessary for YunKou, but are also handy if you like to get places in a hurry. There should also be a town on one of the islands. This is NeoTokio. Enter here for a break from fighting if you wish, you need to come back here later on anyway, but there's a MagiRock in the southwest building, and there's also a MagiRock in the underground bit, for winning the noodle eating contest. Auto-fire joypads work wonders here. I have doubled my opponents score with one of them ! Head west from the island of NeoTokyo to get to Yunkou. There is a MagiRock behind the building in the northeast corner. Go to Lon Trading, next to the food stands, and talk to Mr Lon. Then go to the inn and go upstairs, you'll find Fyda there, who is ill in bed. Go to the doctor's at the northwest of town and talk to the Doc, who tells you that you need Ginseng from Lon Trading. Go back to Lon Trading and Mr Lon will talk to you this time. He asks you to go find his brother, agree and Mr Lon gives you the Ginseng. Go to the Doc's and equip the Ginseng, then talk to the doctor. Then go to the inn and give the Ginseng to Fyda. After she's woken from the flashback, leave the inn and you'll meet Perel (how did he get here ?). Go with Perel to Dragoon Castle west of town. Dragoon Castle Level Hint - There are no monsters, but the guards can be annoying. Treasure - LBulb x 1, 300 Gems, 200 Gems, 2 MagiRock, 3 Part Rod. Perel will be waiting for you at the castle, then he'll go off and distract the guard. Enter the castle. The guards of the castle won't attack you, but if they spot you, you'll be chucked back to the entrance of the castle, which can be either annoying, or helpful providing a useful shortcut to the main hall. The best way to beat guards, is to have the Speed Shoes equipped, then you can run past them without them noticing you. From the main hall, take the centre door and hide next to the candlestick until the guard looks forward, then use the Speed Shoes to get past him. Run down the corridor, jumping the gap on your way. There's another guard at the end of the passageway, a lot more tricky than before. Get it so the screen cuts off his body from waist up, that way he can't see you, but you can tell which way he's facing from the direction of his feet. When he faces away from the wall you're leaning against, use the Speed Shoes to sprint past him and into the doorway he was blocking. Use the Speed Shoes on the dead end to bust the wall down, then enter the room. Make your way past the guards in this next room, bare in mind that they don't turn round, so they're quite easy to avoid. Take the exit northeast of the room, then go down the stairs in the next screen to get to the dungeons. Grab the MagiRock from the southwest corner, then walk through the dungeon until you hear a voice, Elle of Crysta ! She's chained up against a wall, so walk up to her to fall into Meilin's trap. Elle fades away, then Meilin talks to you and runs off. Weird kid. After the cut scene, climb the chain and out of the dungeon to meet Fyda. Follow her out of the room, and let a guard see you to get sent back to the entrance hall. Go up the centre stairs then enter the doorway at the northeast corner. This door is being guarded by one of the hardest guards in the castle, the gap to get past him is tiny. Time it right and you'll eventually get past him. At least he doesn't send you far away if he catches you. Enter the door behind him, and hide behind the candlestick until the guard here walks towards you then turns away. Use the Speed Shoes to run past him and into the next room. Jump the gap and you'll meet Elle of Crysta again (like, I wonder who it is...). When she fades away, jump the gap to the left and get the treasures you come across. Then make your way back to the room you just saw Elle in, and go into the door. Walk past the room of chairs and exit through the northeast door. You'll find yourself in the library, there are several books to read, one of which in particular helps you out later in the level, so read them all. Go to the back of the library to see Elle and try and talk to her. Suprise, suprise it's Meilin again. She'll put you into a nightmare, which you break with the help of Fyda. Meilin crys and runs off. Return to the room with all the chairs and Meilin is standing by the exit, the doorway has been blocked up ! Mr Wong's voice is heard, he has trapped all three of you. Luckily, Perel busts the wall down allowing escape. Meilin offers a handy hint, then go back to the main hall. Take the northwest door. You'll be in a room with 6 candlesticks and 6 pots. Remember the book from the library ? Chuck the pots at the lights to blow out the flames, once all 6 are gone a door appears behind the altar. Enter the door to the next area. Using Meilin's advice, find the statue who has no statue opposite it, then flick the switch on the wall opposite it to open a doorway in the northeast corner. Enter the door and use the Speed Shoes in the next room to knock the wall down. Enter the throne room, let events unfold until it is just you and Princess Elle. Return to the room with the unpaired statue and tal to Meilin, follow her to the exit with the Princess. After another small cut scene, Keep running until Princess Elle stops and decides to wait for Fyda, but tells you to go on without her. Continue onwards. Yet another cut scene. You'll end up in the sewers, Meilin catches up with you, and you both escape from the falling castle. You'll wake up outside the castle gate with Perel and Meilin. Perel says the price of metal has dropped so Will can make his plane, and Meilin thanks you for not giving up on her, then goes off to find her grandpa. Sail back to Nirlake and go and see Will who thanks you and gives you an airplane, with instructions on how to use it. Go to the airport next to Freedom and fly towards Lhasa. Between Loire and Lhasa is another airfield with a town you haven't been to before (how handy that there was an airfield there...). Land the plane and explore the snowy town of 'Mosque', north of the airfield. The residents of the village have devoted their lives to Beruga, the bloke that Wong mentioned in Dragoon Castle. Apparently he's a smart chap who can bring immortality to the deserving, thus saving the world. There is a MagiRock in the northeast corner of town. There is also a cave far to the east, over the bridge in the icy land of Siberia. The Block Rod is one of the four special weapons, turning STR into DEF. Head back to Mosque and travel south to Beruga's lab. Beruga's Lab Level Hint - Some people don't realise that the lift can go down more than one floor. It can. Treasure - DefPotion, SoulArmor Enter the lab and take the path to the east, then follow the path round the corner and go west to the machine. Flick the switch, then continue down the path. Don't worry about the robots, just go along until you reach a dead end, then crawl under the pipes. Go north to find a small clearing which is blocked by a small thing. Pick up that thing and throw it, then crawl into the small hole to find SoulArmor. Crawl out again the same way you came and continue until you get to another machine. Flick the switch to activate all power in the lab, then go back to the entrance to Beuraga's lab and take the nearest south exit to get to the elevator. Flick the switch on the right side of the elevator to go down a floor, then enter the new floor. Run over the conveyor belt into the next area. It looks like another dead end, but there's a small hole close to the white blocks that you can crawl under. Follow the path until you reach a teleporter, then jump in. Once you have rematerialized, go south until you reach four teleporters which don't really do anything, they just teleport to each other. Great, eh ? Anyway, go north into the next room and flick the switch in the middle of the room, then head east then south to get back to the elevator. Take it down another floor, then enter the next area. Follow the path to a series of conveyor belts, you'll come across two teleporters, enter the first one to go to an area with a DefPotion, then go back to the conveyor belt room and take the northeast teleporter to take you to the middle of a new room, with another teleporter in. Take the teleporter, then travel along the path you appear at until you reach the room where the floor is nothing but conveyer belts. The robots are harder to kill on this, especially when they use the dash attack on you. Take the northwest teleporter to get to a computer. Turn the computer on, then after Yomi correctly suggests the password the computer allows the elevator to reach the next floor, you can also find out some information about a number of things, including the lethal Asmodeus virus. Go back to the elevator and make your way down another floor. Enter the new area to fight the boss. Boss Tactic : SECURITY ROBOT It is best to use the GeoStaff against this boss. The robot takes damage if you hit it's three legs, but use a hit 'n' run technique. In other words don't use your fast attack, it isn't as powerful as the normal attack anyway. When you've done enough damage to one leg, it will start letting off red bubbles. There's not that much more to it, basically try and avoid the missiles and the jump attack and keep hitting it until it's completely destroyed. Enter the room to the north, to come to a long chamber, Beruga is in a deep sleep at the end, using cryogenics to maintain his age. He'll wake up and thankyou, then asks you to follow him. Follow him into another room and talk to him when he stops. You'll get a lengthy cut scene, involving poor old NeoTokyo, the Elder from Crysta and the death of Ark. After events have unfolded, You wake up in Lhasa and MeiHou is talking to you. Apparently Kumari saved you, so go and talk to Lord Kumari in his chamber. He tells you you have to find the starstones, so that's what you've gotta do. You can collect the Starstones in any order, but let's tackle it hardest first. The 5 Starstones Starstone 1 Level Hint - Make sure you have plenty of Holy Waters. Treasure - Holy Water, LuckPotion, MagiRock, Fauchard, KingArmr, Transceiver, Sewer Key, Starstone. Right, time to go back to NeoTokyo as promised. As you saw in the cut scene earlier, the entire town is deserted. Go to the Police Headquarters northwest of town and enter. When you hear the sound, investigate the desk to get the Transceiver. A girl is still alive, Yomi guesses she's in the sewer. Leave the police station and enter NeoTokyo's underground. There are two small stone rooms on either side of NeoTokyo that take you here. Between the Noodle-eating restaurant and the pub is a door that used to be locked, but is now open. Go in it and into the sewer. Continue west until you reach a door, which is locked, so take the passageway south. Be careful of the dogs as they can steal your hard-earned cash, so kill them quickly. Leave via the southeast corner, then walk through this next area and go in the door. Crawl through the hole to get to a room with the Sewer Key, then go back to the locked door and equip the Sewer Key, then open it. You'll see the girl who you've been hearing on the transceiver being chased by a lion. Go east, then cross the sewer to the north part of the room, and enter the first northern door you come across, or keep going to get some Holy Water. After entering the door, you'll come across three routes. Take the second path to get a LuckPotion, then go back and take the third path until you reach the north part of the area. You'll come across a split in the path, take the right path to get the Fauchard weapon, then go back to the split and take the other path. Keep going south, picking up the MagiRock on a path branching off to the east on your way south. Then exit the southern door. Go along and through the doorway that the girl and lion went through earlier. You'll come across a room with three corridors leading north. Take the east path to get a MagiRock, then take the west path to get the KingArmr. Take the middle path to exit the room. Go up to the lion, and it'll back away from the girl and start purring. It's Liem ! The girl gives you her necklace, which is actually a Starstone. Freedom Research Team communicate with you on the Transceiver. Leave the sewers and NeoTokyo. Starstone 2 Level Hint - This one is weird... Treasure - MagiRock, HolySuit, Starstone. Sail your ship to Astarica, which is along the west coast of South America. Luckily there's a port where you can park your boat, to the south. Walk up to the temple and enter. In the temple, walk up to the altar and you'll drink the goblet of liquid. When you wake up, things are definitely amiss. There's a clone of Meilin, saying she is called Meilia and serves Lord Meila. There is also a Perel lookalike, who claims his name is Pela and he also serves Lord Meila. Hmmmmm. Talk to Lord Meila, who looks a lot like MeiHou. He'll tell you about a ceremony, then tell you to investigate. To enter the next room, push the statue behind the altar out the way, then go throught the door behind it. A dead end ? Nope. Push the two statues near the entrance into the two slots at the northen wall. A door appears, so enter it. Follow the path, killing all the monsters on the way. There's also a HolySuit and a MagiRock to grab on your way. Once at the end of the path, enter the next room. You'll see something weird involving three clones : Roy (clone of Royd), Fyla (clone of Fyda) and Elle (clone of Princess Elle). After a small cut scene, talk to the Elle clone and then pick any goblet, they all have the same effect. You can't drink the one behind Elle though. You'll pass out and awaken back at Astarica. A treasure chest is now next to the altar, containing the Starstone. Starstone 3 Level Hint - Make sure you have bought a Pretty Flower from the flower girl at Loire. Treasure - MagiRock, 961 Gems, Starstone. A man found in the northeast section of Alaska tells you of birds with different migratory paths : Alaska to Australia, North America to Kamiyo, North America to Savannah, South America to Greenland. You'll find these places scattered on the world map, called Stopover. The gulls there will ask you a question in gibberish, select the top answer to agree to be taken, or the bottom one to refuse. Sail your boat to the port near Liotto and head south. There's a small forest along the western mountain range, enter it to get to a Stopover. Agree to let the bird take you and you'll be flown to Greenland. Travel south from the Stopover you get flown to and enter the town of Penginea. There's a MagiRock in the northwestern igloo. You can't talk to the penguins, but they sure don't like it if you eat their fish ! Equip the Pretty Flower and talk to the pernguin sitting outside the igloo northeast of the entrance. He''ll take your Pretty Flower and give it to his bird (geddit ?!?), and give you the Starstone in return. Before you go back to Stopover, go to the cave west of Penginea to get 961 Gems. Take the gull back to Liotto. Starstone 4 Level Hint - This is really easy. Treasure - Starstone. Sail your ship to Australia, or if you have developed Suncoast far enough, take the plane and land on the airfield. Go to AirsRock, west of Suncoast and make your way to the top. There's a scientist at the top, listen to his story and he'll give you his Starstone. Starstone 5 Level Hint - Another easy one. Treasure - Starstone. Sail your ship to the western coast of Africa, then head for the palm trees and you'll visit the caravan. Talk to people here to find out that you'll turn into a pile of bones if you stay in the desert for too long. Leave the caravan and head northwest into the sandy area. At the northwest corner of the sand, you'll enter the Sahara Desert. You'll see a pile of bones, so go up and investigate them. Looks like some bloke went into the lions den and nicked Liem's stone. You'll get the Starstone. Once you've collected all 5 Starstones, sail your ship to the South Pole. You want to get to the port leading to a patch of sand on the right side of the island, so make your way through the gaps in the rocks and land your ship, then walk into the patch of sand. You'll enter a giant graveyard type place. Equip the Starstones and place one in each of the giant skulls that represent altars. A spirit appears, sit back and watch the cut scene leading to the end of Chapter 3. Congratulations, you've completed Chapter 3. ==============================================3.4============================================== Chapter 4 - Resurrection of the Hero Contents : The Lab Tower Dark Gaia This is one of the smallest chapters, and consists mainly of cut-scenes. You should hopefully be in the 30's level-wise. For some reason, your HP will build exponentially as you go up levels in the 30's. You can go up 57 HP's at level 36 for example ! So basically, it's a good idea to get your levels up in preperation for the final boss. That aside, let's begin. I won't explain the cut-scene as it might ruin it for those not yet there. As soon as you get control, walk to Princess Elle. She should be unfrozen, so talk to her. Touch the box next to her. You'll get the HeroPike and the HeroArmour. Leave Elle's house and talk to the bird outside. When ready, leave Storkolm and head for the nearest airfield. Fly over to the airfield next to Mosque. Go northeast from the airfield, crossing a bridge to get to Siberia. Go east from here to get to Beruga's Lab Tower. The Lab Tower Level Hint - The main thing you need to use on this level is teamwork. Treasure - LifePotion, MagiRock. Walk through the entrance and into the Lab Tower. You'll meet MeiLin. Go into the next room. Once camouflaged, walk west and exit the southern doorway. You'll be at a dead end. A crane will take you to the other side of the room. Follow Perel into the next room. Once Perel disables the lasers, continue past him into the next room. Continue east, until you reach a staircase going up. Go up the stairs, then head south for the exit in the southwest corner. In the next room, go to the lever and flip it at the same time as Fyda. Go south and follow the path. There are three possible routes from this next room, the only one out is the northeast one. Follow the path east, then north. Get the MagiRock from the northwest corner, then exit through the northeast door. Go up the stairs in the next room. Go west when at the top. Follow the path in the next room. Take the southwest exit. Go up the stairs you come across, then follow the path. You'll meet Royd. He'll blow up a door for you. Go through it to proceed. Then take the stairs up. *Hint* - This next area has some large red robots in, that can be killed in one hit using the dash-jump-attack. They have tonnes of experience, so this is a good place to build up. Kill them, leave then re-enter until you're happy. You'll come across a screen with four doors, top-left, top-right, bottom-left and bottom-right. Take the top-right to meet MeiLin. She'll explain the trick to flipping the switches. Then take the top-left to meet MeiHou, who'll tell you Beruga's plans. There's a treasure chest next to him containing a LifePotion. Then go in the bottom-right door to talk to Perel. He'll tell you to hurry to the remaining room. Leave, then go in the final door, to the bottom-left. Walk up to the switch to open the door to the airship. Go back to the corridor and head south, then east once at the end. Go up the stairs, then jump into the big hole in the ground to land on the airship. Go in the door, east of where you landed to enter the ship. You'll meet Fyda and Royd, Fyda will give you 7 time bombs and tell you to plant them on each of the seven computers. They then go somewhere. Place a time bomb on the computer that Fyda and Royd were standing in front of, then head east. Walk across the wing of the airship and enter the door furthest east, back inside the airship. Go up the stairs north of where you entered, which leads back outside. Follow the path south, then enter the door at the end. You'll come across a split in the path with three possible routes, excluding the one you came through. Go east first, then walk across the wing and into the door. Royd should be there, set a bomb on the computer then go back to the split. This time head north, taking the stairs up. You'll meet Fyda. Talk to her, then set 2 more bombs on the 2 computers. Return to the corridor on the lower level, then continue past the staircase to get to another split in the path. Take the east path then set a timebomb on the computer you come across and continue. You should emerge on the west side of the room with the split in the path. This time head north and up the stairs. Use the remaining 2 bombs on the 2 com puters and return down the stairs. Now go back south, then continue until you get to the original room with the three way split. Take south this time to meet Royd and Fyda. She'll set off the 7 time bombs. When you get control, run to the rear of the ship. Events will unfold, you need to use the seagull to get back down to earth. You and the seagull land next to the scientist on Aris Rock. Talk to him, then head for Suncoast and take the plane to the Freedom airfield. Head south to where you originally started off in this world - the wastleland cave you landed in after jumping down the hole next to Crysta village. You'll meet Columbus. Make sure you're well stocked with SBulbs and MBulbs, as you're nearing the final battle. There's a save point behind Columbus you might want to use. Talk to him and tell him you need to finish clearing up the mess you created. Then jump into the hole. You'll be transported back to your home village, Crysta. The villagers are pretty chuffed that you're back, but then turn into spirits and attack you. Typical. Go to the elders house and talk to him. Then follow him back outside and talk to him again. He'll tell you some news that sucks. You'll then disappear, then reappear on an infinite path. Eventually Dark Gaia appears in front of you. Dark Gaia Boss Tactic : DARK GAIA This is it - the final battle. And it's tough. Dark Gaia has several attacks : Sonic Boom - shoots boomerangs at you that are very hard to avoid. (Not so hard, just stand as far right/left to the platform as possible.-Wertigon) Gaia's Rage - makes explosions home in on your trail. Simply walk in the opposite direction to the explosions. MagiRocks - throws exploding MagiRocks at you. They'll land, then explode. Light Orb - The important one. Stand in front of him, and whack 'em back at him to damage him. The orb splits into two and go off in different directions. Stand on one of the four points to the side of the star engraved in the floor to get the best results. Now he'll start getting annoyed. Dark Gaia's next attack is he'll tuck his head and arms into his body, separate from his legs and float around attacking you. You can hit him when he stops close to the platform. Use your strongest attack on him. Eventually, he'll reattach himself to his legs, then start his old attacks again. Use the previous tactics of deflecting his light orb attack and you'll eventually destroy him. Of course - it doesn't end there. It's time for the final-final boss. Boss Tactic : DARK GAIA 2 This guy appears to be impossible at first, but there is always a way. He has two attacks only, which are : Sparks - He'll drop various looking sparks on you. Lightning - Every time this hits you, you're HP is halved. This can be lethal, unless you know what to do. The way to beat his lightning attacks is simple once you know how. You just need to use your block move while facing him. Hold down your block until the move is completely finished. This way it takes off 1-10 HP's at a go, instead of half your exisiting HP. Dark Gaia 2 will then fly around your head, but you can't hit him 'cos of the distance. Instead, use your most powerful attacks on his body when it gets close enough. Make sure you're using the HeroPike, otherwise it'll take ages. After enough hits, he'll be destroyed. You'll now get the first half of the ending. When you're done talking to the villagers of Crysta, go to your bedroom at the Elder's house and get into bed. You'll now get the last bit of the ending. Leave it past the credits for a bit more as well. Congratulations, you've completed Chapter 4, and the game. =============================================================================================== 4. Expansion guide =============================================================================================== Here's a fully functional expansionguide. ------------ Note: When there is a pointed line it means that the town should change status (i e for example that if Loire changes from "normal" to "grey" buildings, it changes status.) _______________________________________________________________________________________________ To expand Loire you need to... ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ...Vote for Jean.

Bossguide =============================================================================================== Here is a guide to beat every boss/subboss in the game. Note: Rating means how hard I consider the boss is. The scale goes from Easy, Medium, Tricky and Hard. Also, the ghost in Neotokio is optional to beat. --------------|-------------|--------|--------------------------------------------------------- Bossname | Location | Rating | How to beat --------------|-------------|--------|--------------------------------------------------------- 4 Huballs | Tower 1 | Easy | No real tactic here. Just whack loose on 'em. --------------|-------------|--------|--------------------------------------------------------- Swarm of | Tower 3 | Easy | Whack loose on these one's too. Huballs | | | --------------|-------------|--------|--------------------------------------------------------- 3 cadet`s | Tower 3 | Easy | Just hit the cadet that is the right one. It's usually | | | the top one. --------------|-------------|--------|--------------------------------------------------------- 3 High cadet`s| Tower 4 | Easy | Just kill 'em. --------------|-------------|--------|--------------------------------------------------------- Dancing | Tower 4 | Easy | Learn their pattern, then whack the one in the back. Huball troop. | | | He'll fall off the line. now kill him. Repeat until | | | everyone`s dead. --------------|-------------|--------|--------------------------------------------------------- Shadowkeeper | Tower 5 | Tricky | This one's the first "real" boss you come across. First, | | | he'll start out with shooting laser beams on you. Block | | | those laserbeams and eventually he'll try to hit you | | | with his claws. Whack on them using the | | | "rushing"-attack. After a while one of his claws breaks. | | | Now, his other claw will go much faster. Destroy that | | | claw too and he'll back down the corridor to the place | | | where he came out from. Now he will change his attack | | | pattern. He still shoots laserbeams, but now he'll use | | | his tail, too. Go for the mouth and eventually you will | | | destroy it. The rest is a piece of cake. | | | will become electrified, butthat's easy to avoid, 'cause | | | you have destroyed his mouth. Keep going for his head | | | and it's bye bye little monster. --------------|-------------|--------|--------------------------------------------------------- Parasite | the Ra tree | Medium | First this guy appears as a snake in the big hole, and | | | clawlike things appears in the six holes on the sides. | | | Whack the claws until the snake dissapears. Now Parasite | | | changes attackpattern. The snake goes between the holes, | | | and a big (and ugly) eye shows up. From time to time the | | | eye pops out of the hole, and every now and then it goes | | | inside the hole to throw out those clawlike things. | | | Destroy those claws and the eye will pop out again. Just | | | hit the eye with the rushing-attack, and he shouldn't be | | | much of a problem. | | | On a sidenote, you can level up good on this boss. See | | | the secrets section for more info. --------------|-------------|--------|--------------------------------------------------------- Dark twins | Grecliff | Medium | This battle is high up, so DO NOT fall down. If you do, | | | you have to start the battle all over again. First there | | | is a green bird, and he has got three types of attack: | | | He shoots flaming feathers on you, dives at you and | | | makes a whirlwind which can blow you of the edge. Simply | | | whack him whenever he gets close and he'll eventually | | | call his buddy the brown bird (ain`t he a coward;)). The | | | brown bird drops bird doo on you while the green one | | | continiues doing what he did before. Hit the green one a | | | few more times and you`ll win. --------------|-------------|--------|--------------------------------------------------------- Stormkeeper | Zue | Medium | This one starts out as a skeleton. It has two attacks: | | | it spits green flames on you and it throws its arms at | | | you. Avoid the flames and when it throws its arms at | | | hit it in its stomach. Then back off. Repeat until it | | | you, Strike it. Repeat until it falls apart. Now it | | | changes shape, and both you and it falls down. It still | | | fire at you, but now it throws rocks at you, as well. | | | Avoid the flames and hit it when It gets close. Just | | | keep doing it that way and you will destroy him | | | eventually. --------------|-------------|--------|--------------------------------------------------------- Dark morph | Eklemata | Tricky | Okay, this guy is a bit hard. First, make sure you're | | | equiped with Neo's fang, since it makes wonder against | | | this boss. First he starts of as a Yeti. All he does is | | | to throw out some crystals and create a blizzard. Avoid | | | The blizzard by standing at a corner and walk in the | | | opposite direction the wind is blowing. Next, he'll | | | transform into a wizzard with the Agahnim syndrom, i e | | | to hurt him you have to hit those orbs he is firing at | | | you back on him. Now it`s time for the real battle. The | | | Dark morph transforms into his old self again, a dark | | | humanoid. He'll go around the area at high speed, so hit | | | him whenever you get the chance. When you hit him, he`ll | | | transform into bats. Run around and whenever they get | | | near, do the runattack. Hopefully you'll get past 'em. | | | Wait until they transforms into Dark morph again, then | | | hit him again. Repeat. --------------|-------------|--------|--------------------------------------------------------- Purple armor | Sylvain | Easy | Whack loose on him. It can be a hard battle at low | | | levels (Level 17-19 that is), if that's the case, use a | | | firering. --------------|-------------|--------|--------------------------------------------------------- 4 dolls | Sylvain | Medium | Simply hit one of 'em when they stops. If it was the | | | right one, they dissapear. If it was the wrong one, they | | | attack. | | | *NEW INFO HAS ARRIVED* | | | There is a rumor that says this: | | | The doll that's behind Arks back when the dolls says | | | 'Behind' always is the correct one. Thank you Conspiracy | | | for telling me this. --------------|-------------|--------|--------------------------------------------------------- Bloody (hard) | Sylvain | Hard | Tough one. Do the runattack to inflict damage without mary | | | taking damage, and if you have Elecrings, use them. | | | Equip yourself with the Lightpike for maximum damage. At | | | low levels she is a real pain in the a**. --------------|-------------|--------|--------------------------------------------------------- 4 ghosts | Ship to | Easy | These one's can't be hurt when they are spinning, so | Freedom | | don't even try. Apart from that, try to hit the right | | | one. After three hits the ghosts dissapear. --------------|-------------|--------|--------------------------------------------------------- Big fish | Mermaid towr| Easy | Have your back turned and whack him when he gets near. | | | Look out for those green fishes, as they bounce you into | | | the wall. --------------|-------------|--------|--------------------------------------------------------- A ghost | Neotokio | Easy | No real tactic, hurt him when he shows himself. --------------|-------------|--------|--------------------------------------------------------- Hitoderon | Great lakes | Tricky | You don't have to worry about the big dragon, since he | cavern | | won't hurt you. The three starfishes are a little hard | | | to beat, though. First, kill those starfishes that jump | | | up on that piece of wood you are standing on. The last | | | one is a different matter. Walk under him, and when he | | | falls, step aside and then quickly attack him. If you | | | get caught, wait until the dragon burns that starfish of | | | your head. --------------|-------------|--------|--------------------------------------------------------- Security robot| Beruga`s lab| Hard | Make sure you have alot of Mbulbs and Lbulbs equipped. | | | Also level up untill you're at level 28 or higher. Some | | | people claim that the geostaff is the best weapon to use | | | against this guy, but I'm not sure on that 'cause I've | | | never tried it. Anyways, when you first enter this boss | | | shoots missiles on you, and after that it uses one of | | | its arms to make one of three attacks. Avoid the | | | missiles by running around as mad. The other attacks | | | can`t be blocked, so you just have to avoid `em. Once | | | you`ve avoided the missiles, hit one of the three legs | | | until it gets destroyed (you`ll see when one leg is | | | destroyed when small explosions surround it). after | | | you`ve destroyed its three legs, it breaks apart and | | | turn into some smaller machines. These ones are easily | | | killed with the scatteringattack. --------------|-------------|--------|--------------------------------------------------------- Dark gaia | Gaia stone | Tricky | This is the final boss you come across. He's got two | | | shapes, and the second shape is described under this | | | one. The first shape is a big statue made of crystal. | | | He has got several attacks that needs avoiding. The | | | attacks are as follows: | | | Gaias rage - walk around to avoid getting hit. | | | Magirocks - Dark gaia throws out magirocks, which | | | explodes after awhile. | | | Sonic boom - Stand on the right or left edge of the | | | platform. | | | Light orb - This is the only thing that can hurt Dark | | | gaia at first. Stand on the right/left edge of the | | | platform and hit the orb as soon as you get the chance. | | | when Dark gaia starts getting near you with his body | | | curled into a ball, wait until he stops, then whack him. --------------|-------------|--------|--------------------------------------------------------- Dark gaia 2 | Gaia stone | Tricky | For this boss, make sure you're on level 32 or higher, | | | or else you're grinded meat. also, equip the heropike | | | and heroarmor. He's got two attacks, one which he shoots | | | sparks on you and one where he uses a lightningbeam | | | which eats up your energy. As soon as he uses the | | | lightningattack, press the R/L-button to block. That way | | | you only loose 1 to 4 hp instead of half of it each time | | | it hits you. Just whack loose on him with everything | | | you've got whenever you can and he`ll soon be defeated. | | | Phew. Dark gaia 2 has about 1000 hp. --------------|-------------|--------|--------------------------------------------------------- =============================================================================================== 6.

Suncoast (expanded), house in top center of town, 2nd floor, left room (i.e. the mayor's room) 93. Astarica, the only fork in the path, take the left fork (very visible) 94. Neotokio Sewers, "Pond," right of the exit 95. Neotokio Sewers, room with the robots, right path 96. Beruga's Lab Tower, room before the second staircase There exist's a rumor that says that there are 100 magirocks. If anyone knows anything about this, contact me. =============================================================================================== 13. Subareas Location =============================================================================================== South of Evegreen Southeast of Sanctuar Northeast of Gobi/Louran East of Loire North of Loire ("poultry") South of South American "stopover" (grass patch apart from normal grass) Far south of South American "stopover" (forest) New Zealand Australia, center of southeast forest Australia, space in far western forest Alaska, space in center of big forest Island north-northwest of Australia (There's another island here which would count except you have to get the Speed Shoes from it anyway.) Island north of Scand(inav)ia (cave) Northwest corner of Sahara Desert Oasis south of Sahara Desert ("caravan" - it is not, after all, mandatory) Western Greenland (cave) Mu Polynese Western Siberia (cave) =============================================================================================== 14. Secrets =============================================================================================== Note: I have added a ratingsystem of the helpfulness to this section, here`s the description: * - Not helpful at all ** - A little bit helpful *** - Pretty helpful **** - Very helpful ***** - Any more helpful would be cheating If the helpfulness rating stands within two '()'s, it means that that is the helpfulness for emulators. For example, If it stands ** (***) it means that the right stars shows how helpful it is on emulator, while the left stars shows how helpful it is on the cartridge. If a :) is put just after the rating it is only to show that it's worth the effort 'cause it's funny. Resurrect Polynese After you've resurrected the five towers in the underworld, you can go to a small cave located west of Tower 5. Kill the guards inside, then either use an ice ring, or throw pots at the fire-swirling monsters that you can't reach. This means you can visit Polynesia, one of the islands near Yunkou. You can sleep there and where you can take a nap for free. You'll be burnt in the morning, and you're 'Macho Appeal' raises by 10. This has no relevance to the game. * :) Resurrect Mu Not as well known as the one above, the cave is located north of Tower 3 and looks like a small cluster of snow. Simply throw the rocks blocking your path out of the way to get to the control room. Mu features in Terranigma's predecessor, Illusion of Gaia/Time. It was one hard level. The importance of resurrecting Mu is that as the surface world and the underworld are linked, Mu will be resurrected in the other world as well. This means you can visit Mu in the surface world where you can obtain one of the four special weapons - the EnbuPike. ***** Bits 'n' Pieces, Pots 'n' Pans Not an important secret, but some don't know of it. Did you know that you can throw pots/pumpkins at certain people in Crysta, and actually hit them ? Like go into the house to the left of the weavers and into the room on the right. Pick up the pot in there and chuck it at the boy. He'll be well annoyed at you and tell you so. This also works for the boy outside the house mentioned above, chuck a pumpkin at him. Most people in the elders house can be hit as well. You can even get a three-in-a-row by power-throwing a pot at the people sitting at the table ! They'll spin round, then complain. The only other time this seems to work is in Liotto. One of the houses has a monkey that does the Samba. Throw a pot at him, then talk to the woman sitting opposite him. * :) A Pleasant Experience When fighting the Parasite in the Ra Tree, it'll eventually shoot some orange claws at you during it's second attack. These are worth about 55 Experience points all in all! Simply kill them all, then wait until they're spit out at you again and repeat. Thanks to Dais for this information. ** (*****) Grave Danger When you fist enter Louran, you'll undoubtedly meet a man who doesn't know what to do with his money when he dies. Tell him to take it with him to his grave. When the town turns into a zombie-infested ruin, go to the cemetary. One of the graves has 500 Gems with Temjins name written all over it. *** Don't rub me the wrong way ! Pretty well known this one. Visit the Quatto's, originally south of Litz but they move later on to the north of Liotto, and go into the northwest tent. Talk to the woman inside and she'll ask you for a massage. Agree, then push into her back. She'll say something like, "ooh that's good !". Keep pushing and eventually she'll tip you 1 measly Gem. But every time you do it after that, she'll tell you that you've improved and give you 5 Gems. Try pushing her front, she'll have a go at you, telling you not to get fresh ! ** :) FEVER ! In the morning... Some people are unsure what to do with the Fever medicine given to them by the Litz doctor. Well, once you've economically progressed Suncoast far enough, you'll find a Japanese couple upstairs in the inn. The bloke is in bed sick with a... guess what... fever, so equip the medicine and talk to his wife. You'll get a Waterpin for your troubles. ***** Child of the Corn You'll find a couple in Yunkou who abandoned their daughter Chija at birth. Tut tut. But they really want to know how she is, and it just so happens you can help. Make sure you have a Pretty Flower from the woman in Loire, then go to the Nomads near Louran. In one of the tents (I think it's the upper-right one), you'll find a small girl. Equip the Pretty Flower and talk to her. Hmmmmmm... seems a bit thick really. Oh well. Go back to Yonkou and tell her parents. Then go all the way back to see her at the Nomads again, then aaaaaaaaaallllllllll the way back to Yunkou and talk to her parents again. And what do you get ? A MagiRock. Yippee. ** Ghost of Christmas Programmer There's an empty lot with a trash can next to it in NeoTokio. Go inside the trash can and you'll appear in a messy room. A ghost appears, which you must beat, the best way to beat it is to use Pyro Rings. When you beat it, a chicken will appear and thank you. You'll then be transported back outside the can, the empty lot has now been replaced with a building where you'll be able to meet and talk to Quintet, the Terranigma team who are the dudes who made, designed etc. the game you're playing ! * :) Why do birds... Suddenly appear Expand Freedom a bit, and go to the shop. Go down the flights of stairs to get to the basement. Oh my, it's a black market ! And they've got the KingBird as a prisoner ! Once again, it's up to you to sort things out. Talk to the guard a couple of times and then pay him 5000 Gems to release him. Then, go all the way to the KingBird's nest at Sanctuar and he'll have a MagiRock for you. Bless him. *** Give me money The best way to get money is to head for NeoTokyo sewers and go left, then fight the dog-like creatures to get between 300-350 Gems. Thanks to Ferme for the information on the Kingbird's release cost and money-making methods. **** Home, sweet home Some people don't know about this either. You need to expand Loire to the max. Go to second avenue, then east to Loire Realty. Buy an apartment at the Rococo building for 800 Gems, then go next door to the furniture shop attached to Loire Realty, called Michelle Furniture. You can buy the following furniture for your house : Rug Bookshelf Desk Shelf Dresser Each for 100 Gems. Then go west to get to the Rococo apartment and use the Apartment Key on the first door on the right. Your new home, furnished and all ! You can save and sleep to regain energy here. ** :) Don't chicken out... Enter the circled area just north of Loire next to the bridge and you'll come across a shack. The old guy inside explains that he races chickens. Leave his house and go off the screen to the north to get to the chicken races. Give 10 Gems to the woman next to the counter to get a tip for the winning chicken, then talk to the bloke at the counter to make your bet. Depending on the odds and of course picking the winning chicken, you can make off with a load of cash, up to 800 Gems if the odds are 16 to 1. Much easier than killing monsters for money ! Also, does anyone know the significance of the small boy at the chicken races ? He stands there staring at the chickens, saying nothing but, 'Catherine'. Has he named one of the chickens, and fallen in love with it ? Or is there some other reason. I will try to find out as much as I can about this. ***** Flight of the Navigator Speak to a bloke north of Alaska and he'll talk about different migratory paths of gulls. You can travel using these gulls, if you find certain places called Stopovers. The migratory paths are : Alaska to Australia N America to Kamiyo N America to Savannah S America to Greenland The one in Alaska is to the northwest corner, and takes you to just north of Suncoast. The S America one is Southwest of Liotto, and takes you to Greenland just north of Penguina. There are also three in the Kingbirds nest in Sanctuar. The left one takes you to the Savannah, the animal paradise. The middle one takes you to Kamiyo, on the island of NeoTokyo. The right one takes you to the Windvale cave. *** The Cadet's dirty secret... In the underground you can find the enemy 'Cadet'. It is an annoying little bugger, mainly because it will freeze you with his special. His special works out as follows: First, a text shows up that says "Cadet throws a look." or something similar, and then one of following happens: a) You are immobilized, b) Nothing happens or c) You return the look, thus immobilizing the Cadet. Anyways, sometimes, on rare occasions, the following text shows up: "Cadet throws a sexy look." When that happens, you gets automatically immobilized. This has no revelance to the game whatsoever, but it's still a cool thing, just as the machoappeal and Quintet building. Don't go looking for it, since it would take forever to find it. I have seen it, this is absolutely no joke. * =============================================================================================== 15. Rumors =============================================================================================== Baby when you're gone... In the bar in NeoTokio, a women says something to do with 'B A B Y'. People are associating this with a Snes joypad button sequence. To my knowledge, this has no relevance. Macho, macho man... People have been asking me the point of your Macho Appeal raising when you take a nap at Polynesia. Some people claim it raises your defense the first time. I think it doesn't do anything. I think it was a joke, and don't really see how people can think of it as anything else. Philistines ! And yes, this also goes for the blood pressure being raised by the three fashion girls in Freedom. The Beruga Triangle I was looking at a stumped Terranigma page, and noticed that some tit had left a message in the guestbook asking how to resurrect Bermuda. I've had a couple of E-mails about this, and would like to say... YOU WHAT ?!? Think about it, there are 7 continents - it applies to the game as well 'cos the planet is supposed to be Earth. Trust me. I hope they did mean Beruga, because then it becomes a valid question, otherwise they're probably either thicker than the offspring of a TV Weather girl and Forrest Gump, or they're stirring it, big time. Undiscovered Land I received an E-mail recently asking if it was possible to travel across South Africa. When you fly over this land, it gives the names of the two sections of South Africa as Kalahari and Capetown. As far as I know, there is no possible way to get here, it's just for show. Of course, I am completely welcome to any information regarding this land, there is nothing special about the way it looks, apart from the three trees. Anyway, there are no ports and no airfield strips, no caves joining them and as far as I can see, no flight paths from gulls. More info on this has arrived, thankyou to Ferme. Capetown is the place you begin in Illusion of Gaia and the Enix team probably wanted to make a link between these two games, but you can't get to them. I always thought that you started Illusion of Gaia in South Cape, but I could be wrong. Thanks Ferme. Even more info for this has arrived. It is SouthCape in Illusion of Gaia, but in the ending when the worlds change form, South Cape is located in South Africa, as is CapeTown. Thank you to err... Gorfious Bafoon for that. Staff dismissed A person in Liotto mentions the mystical qualities of Staffs. To my knowledge, the only staff is the GeoStaff which has an Earth elemental quality, but there are several other weapons with elemental qualities as well. Is there more than one staff ? Secret Walls Anonymous In Dragoon castle, when you try to escape with Elle and Meilin stops you, there is a small side path heading off to the right. It looks like there could be a secret door in the middle of the wall, or you could knock the wall down with the Speed Shoes but you can't, even though Meilin's reaction indicates that their probably is a door there. Is there ? Talking to Squirrels... Not an important one, but is there any reason that you can talk to the squirrels south of Liotto when you're supposed to not be able to communicate with plants or animals any more ? =============================================================================================== 16. Dummying =============================================================================================== Dummying is when Items or events have been taken out of a translation (usually from Jap -> USA) for one reason or another. A total of EIGHT items are mentioned in the game's dialogue, but are nowhere to be see. All of these come from Dais, comments 'an all : ------------|----------------------------|----------------------------------------------------- Name | Description | Comments ------------|----------------------------|----------------------------------------------------- Aloe Leaves | Leaves from an aloe plant. | I am positive this does not mean the Ginseng, Fever | | Medicine, Air Herb, Giant Leaves, or any kind of | | bulb. These are all listed elsewhere. Hmm. ------------|----------------------------|----------------------------------------------------- Carrot | A Carrot. | Perhaps you could originally introduce different | | crops to farmers in an early version... ------------|----------------------------|----------------------------------------------------- Heaven | Used to summon rainfall. | Could have been used in Zue and/or Nirlake. Not to Statue | | be confused with the Heaven Statue in Actraiser. ------------|----------------------------|----------------------------------------------------- Grass | Made of woven grass. | VERY unknown. What could it be used for ? Whistle | | ------------|----------------------------|----------------------------------------------------- Airplane | No description. | That really is it's description. Probably changed to Parts | | the Airplane Plans. ------------|----------------------------|----------------------------------------------------- Grenade | No description. | Also the actual description. VERY unknown, and NOT | | the Time Bomb. ------------|----------------------------|----------------------------------------------------- Beeper | No description. | Ditto with the description. Hmm. Part of the trade | | in technology ? ------------|----------------------------|----------------------------------------------------- Powered Gear| Enabled lifting of heavy | When I first saw this, I thought it was something | objects. | like the Airplane Parts. Then I played a bit of | | Zelda 64. Remember the gloves, for lifting things? | | This could've been the same thing ! After all, there | | are a lot of rocks you can't pick up. Perhaps | | Quintet thought they shouldn't rip off Nintendo. ------------|----------------------------|----------------------------------------------------- Dialogue Questions The following items are to do with the games dialogue (get it from Cher's place or Snape's page, Botj listed at the section "Terranigma Links".) from the script file : Asked by Dais : "Also appearing in the script are these words, which I have no recollection of ever seeing :" "Choose what you want to see. Dev. Rm Mole Chicken Eating Oh. I see. You don't want to. I see. Choose what you want to see. Sqrl Vil NY Town Sqrl C NY City Oh. I see. You don't want to. I see." Comments It occurs in the same text block as all the Quintet staff sayings. "That letter... You don't mean to... No! I'm not ready ! ...Pardon me ? A letter from people who survived a terrible fire?" Comments I ACTUALLY SAW the following text, but its confusing as hell. It occurs when you bring one of the Nirlake letters to Marily. What did she expect ? (Probably a marriage... - Wertigon) A friend in need... We all know Royd's friend was killed by one of the bad guys (even though we don't know the killer OR the victim). But who is Fyda's friend? When Fyda visits you in Loire, she talks about her friend. I know she could be referring to SFP Elle, but I doubt it. And at that point, she still thinks Royd is a mercenary. Fluffy... oh fluffy. Less important, why are the names of characters totally different from who they are? And, in the german text, excuse me, but why does the word 'Fluffy' appear over and over? Asked by Cyrus : "Ok, from a. my own observations, and b. looking through Dais' reposted Terranigma script, I've come up with a short list of things to investigate :" Luki, Luki I got Hooky Luki, the woman who looked after you during your sleep in Lhasa, is apparently supposed to contract some kind of disease, according to the script, but there's no dialogue about her getting better. I have completed the game numerously, on level 50, but have no recollection of Luki ever getting ill ! Moovin' and Groovin' The Quattro's talk of settling down. They move from Litz to north of Liotto, but is that where they actually settle down for good ? Mystery Man No.1059 There is dialogue where you meet a botanist who has taken up residence in a peaceful forest somewhere. He talks about being happy, then later talks of people ruining the forest and wanting to turn it into a resort. Where is this man, and does he have any kind of a story behind him ? Mole Patrol In the Evegreen section, they mention a mole setting up shop. Any comments on this ? Hey, it's flag day !!! In the Crysta section, someone talks about being 'the hunky flag guy who's the talk of the town. Then asks you to choose up or down, then there are a load of options about a sound test. What is this all about ? =============================================================================================== 17. Cheats =============================================================================================== Game genie codes: ------------------------------|-------------------| codes | what it does | ------------------------------|-------------------| 2E31-DF5A ED31-DF8A 6531-DFEA | 255 health!! | ------------------------------|-------------------| 2135-D78A 0D35-D7EA 6536-DD7A | Lots of magirocks | ------------------------------|-------------------| Snes9X codes: ----------|--------------------| codes | what it does | ----------|--------------------| 7E065D FF | 255 Health!! | ----------|--------------------| 7E07ED 64 | Lot's of MagicRock | ----------|--------------------| Pro Action Replay codes: Since I don't cheat I can't tell if these codes will work or not. Blame the guy who sent me these codes instead of me. These codes are brought to you by Xar (mailto: paladin@forcomm.net). -----------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------| codes | what it does | -----------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------| 7E065DFF | Your strength is a constant 255 and cannot be changed by STR potions or | | level changes. | -----------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------| 7E0662FF + | Total invincibility. Your HP is a constant multiple of 255. | 0FE065DF | | -----------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------| 7E0691FF: | Enter this code and your levels will increase at an alarmingly fast rate. | | It will freeze the game unless you're in a dungeon or anyplace with enemies. | -----------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------| 7E0697FF: | Enter this code and you'll get unlimited money. | -----------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------| Note - for the unlimited money code, you can buy from shops at any time, but in some situations (staying at inns etc), it says that you are broke. In which case, you should turn the AR off, go and kill a bad guy and get some more money. Then it should work. These codes were devised by Ragnarosen. -----------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------| Codes | What it does | -----------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------| 7E065FFF + | When these 4 codes are used together with the 5 of Xar's codes, you'll have | 7E0660FF + | 535 Strength, 535 Defense, and 255 Luck with absolutely no strings attached. | 7E0663FF + | Don't be scared if the Strength value equals "35." It's actually 535, but | 7E0666FF | there is only enough room for two digits. | -----------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------| The only thing these codes can't change is your current level/maximum HP. To quickly get the maximum of 999 HP, enter all of these codes (EXCEPT FOR 7E0691FF) at the Name Registry screen. You'll start with amazing statistics, but your HP display will read "255/28." The current HP value of 255 signifies your invincibility, but you only have 28 HP at Level 1. Go to Tower 1 and as soon as you physically enter the tower, input the code 7E0691FF. You'll instantly be promoted to Level 15. Fight monsters until you've achieved the maximum experience level of 50. This is rather easy, not only because you're invincible, but because every monster you defeat nets you about 10,000 experience points. When you get to Level 50, your maximum HP will reach 999 no matter what. Here's what the current HP value display means: If your maximum HP level is between 28 and 256, your current HP is always 255. If your maximum HP level is between 257 and 512, your current HP is always 511. If your maximum HP level is between 513 and 768, your current HP is always 767. If your maximum HP level is between 769 and 999, your current HP is always 23. (What the bloody hell? 23?!!?) The value is actually equal to 1023, but the display is 23 because only three digits can be displayed at one time, and the initial zero digit doesn't show. If you entered all 9 codes, you won't have to worry about anything in the 32-megabit world of Terranigma. No more cowering in fear over the infamous battle with Bloody Mary. No more ducking whenever you see Dignal throw its mate! No more running for cover behind the nearest tree when you see a Dungun getting ready to explode! No more trepidation when treading through flocks of wild Chonchons, 'cause their glassine dust can't faze you anymore! =============================================================================================== 18. Bugs =============================================================================================== As every other game, Terranigma has got it's own set of bugs. These bugs are the one's I have been able to find: The chest bug: You need an emulator to ponder this one. In the woods northwest of Nirlake, where you get the logs from the Gumin monsters, there is a hidden treasure chest to the right of the entrance. Use the ZSnes/Snes9x sprite control to turn of a certain background and you'll see it. Now this is a curious one. You can go right up to the chest, but for some reason - it won't open. There is also another chest in grecliff, just left of a cliff with a cave entrance. It looks like it's closed, even if you have opened it. If that's not a bug, then what is? The frozen bug: Sometimes the game freezes at some places. The most common ones are: First tower, just after you've killed the red huballs Storkolm, when you investigate the weaver's place Storkolm again, When you touches the box I know there are more places, but I haven't been able to find 'em. If the game freezes, reset and try again. if that don't work, reset once again. If you still are having problems, let your computer/snes rest for a while, then try again. If that doesn't work, and if you are emulating, go and find a new rom. This can occur on the real cartridge, (PAL version) as well. The infinite money bug: When you're having the code for infinite money on, you can't stay at inns or buy apples, flowers, lottery-tickets and other things that is being sold at "individual shops". If you have to stay at an inn, simply turn the code off and go kill some guys to get money. It's not that hard, since three badies (at most) will give you enough money. That's all I can think of right now. If you've found out any other bug, I'll put it up here. =============================================================================================== 19. Interesting facts =============================================================================================== Meaning of the Name First of all, lets start with the meaning of the word "Terranigma". I'm guessing that a fair few people already know about this, but here goes anyway. Terranigma is actually two different meaning words combined into one. The first word is 'Terra' which is a Latin translation of the word 'Earth'. Therefore it is referring to the planet Earth. This one word, Terra, is where we have derived a couple of words all assosciated with Earth, for example : Terrain - A tract of land Terramare - Earthy deposits containing bones, phosphates etc. Terraqueous - (Of the Earth) Comprising both land and water Terrestrial - (Of the Earth) E.T was an Extra-Terrestrial, i.e. not of this Earth Terricolous - Living on or in the Earth Terrier - Even this famous breed of dog was named after it's Earth digging capabilities Terrigenous - Produced by the Earth Terrine - Earthenware vessel Territory - Extent of land under jurisdiction of Sovereign, state, city etc. Mediterrainean - The famous ocean meaning 'Middle (medi) of the Earth (terra)' The second word is 'Enigma'. I guess it would have been stupid to call the game Terraenigma as nobody would have agreed to it's pronounciation. Anyway, 'Enigma' means mystery. A riddle that puzzles someone or something. Hence the word enigmatic - a mysterious quality. The obvious conclusion here is that 'Terranigma' means 'Mystery of the Earth', which fits the bill as this is what the game is about. Meaning of the Hero Ark. He's the hero of the game, and although a bit mischievous, he's a good bloke. But what is the connection here ? We all know about the tale of Noah's ark, but does that have anything in common with our red-headed hero ? Maybe. Noah's ark was famous for surviving a huge change in terrain, which is applicable in the game. The ark was also known best for carrying the animals. Ark, in the game saves the animal kingdom and can even talk with them for half the game. An Ark is another name given to a chest or a box. The most famous would be the 'Ark of the Covenant', and the 'Ark of the Testimoney'. It is a wooden coffer containing tables of Jewish law. Not that you really care, I suppose. It is from here that we derive this joke, one of such ludicrous poor quality, that it might stop you from reading the rest of this file. Here it is : "Did you hear about the film where Ark was stuck in Zue, and didn't know where to go next ?" "Yeah - Raiders of the Lost Ark." Groan. I don't know who made it up, but they deserve a good shoeing. Anyhoo, you can make up your own mind as to whether or not you believe this, but Noah's Ark played a big part in the resurrection of the Earth, animals and human population, just like the hero Ark did. It's up to you to decide... Meaning of the People A lot of people don't actually realise that Terranigma's economic growth is closer to reality than what meets the eye. The important people in the game that made inventions that we use today in reality, such as the camera and telephone actually have their real names, albeit slightly changed. Bell You help Bell with the invention of the telephone. In the game he gives up on his invention after he gets dumped by his girlfriend, due to the lack of hearing from him. After turning into an alcoholic for a short while, he vows to finish his invention, in order to save other people from the same fate. He invents the 'telephone' on the basis that other people can keep in touch with their partners and not succumb to the same fate as his. Exactly whether this is true or not is unknown. In reality Alexander Graham Bell (1847-1922) was a British Scientist, who patented his invention, the telephone, in 1876. He later experimented with a type of phonograph and in aeronautics. He also invented the tricycle undercarriage. In Depth Background Bell was scottish born, and was the beat many hopeful scientists to the creation of the telephone. His upbringing had a great influence on his career. His father was a successful teacher of deaf-mutes and had invented a code of symbols called Visible Speech to help them learn. Bell aided his father in his work, and also taught speech and music as a student teacher at a boys' school in Edinburgh. In 1870 Bell moved with his family to Ontario, Canada, as he was suffering from tuberculosis from which both his brothers had died. He soon recovered, and went to Boston, Massachusetts, where he set up a school for teachers of the deaf. Bell was made a professor at Boston University, but he still continued with his electrical experiments. He found doing all the work himself too difficult, so he enlisted help from a skilled electrician called Thomas Watson. Together they proceeded with the experiments. Bell connected up a transmitter, a device which converted sound waves into electrical waves, to a receiver, which picked up electrical signals and converted them back to sound. They finally achieved success in 1875, when Bell heard a sound made by Watson coming through the receiver. The first spoken sentences were heard the following year when Bell spoke into the transmitter and was heard by Watson in a separate room. This is the part you play in the game - hearing spoken words from a separate room to Bell. The Bell Telephone Company was founded in 1877, the first of its kind. Bell continued to experiment and invent. He helped develop the gramophone record, and financed flying experiments. The promotion of teaching the deaf to speak was still one of his chief concerns. He became an American citizen in 1882, and died in Novia Scotia. Eddy You also help Eddy with his invention. Eddy is the inventor of the light. There isn't much of a story behind it in the game like above, simply took quite a few dangerous attempts. Eddy is named after Thomas Edison ('Eddy'son). In reality, Thomas Alva Edison (1847-1931) was a US scientist and inventor. His first ever invention was an automatic repeater for telegraphic messages. Later came the carbon transmitter. This is quite interesting as it was used as a microphone in the production of the telephone. In the game Bell and Eddy live next door to each other. In reality they were inventors whose inventions were linked with each others. Coincidentally, they were both born on the same year. He then went on to invent the phonograph, the electric filament lamp (which was the concept in the game), a new type of storage battery and the kinetoscopic camera - an early form of cinematography. He aslo anticipated the Fleming thermionic valve. I guess you could say he was a clever chappie. In Depth Background Edison was an American who can justly be called the world's greatest inventor. At the age of 12 he began selling newspapers on a train, and still found time to experiment with chemicals and print a newspaper in the luggage compartment. Edison's first invention, when he was 16, was a gadget that sent telegraph signals automatically by being connected to a clock. He next invented an electrical vote-recording machine, but politicians refused to buy it because it would interfere with their traditional counting methods. In 1869 Edison arrived in New York and found a job in a stock-ticker firm. The stock-ticker was a telegraphic device used for reporting prices, in this case of gold. When one day it broke down, Edison not only repaired it but improved on it in several ways. His employers were so pleased that they offered him a large sum of money for his patents. This money enabled Edison to set up a workshop, where he improved both the typewriter and the telephone. His most famous invention was perhaps the phonograph, later to be called the gramophone. This consisted of a revolving cylinder around which he wrapped a sheet of tin foil. Edison then placed a needle in the centre of a diaphragm (which was a stretched flat piece of material) that vibrated when hit by sound waves, causing the needle to move on the tin foil. When Edison spoke into the diaphragm the machine repeated his words. Undoubtedly one of Edison's most important contributions to society was an improved electric light bulb, which could be used for offices and homes. After trying hundreds of materials to find the most suitable filament, he finally used carbonized thread, which caused the bulb to glow perfectly. The development of a motion picture camera and later the connection of a phonograph with a camera, for talking pictures, were among other numerous achievements. Edison received many awards for his work. Hedyn In the game, Hedyn is a traveler that you encounter in Louran. Later he writes a journal of his travels that inspires other to travel. Hedyns real name is Sven Hedin (1865 - 1952), a swedish explorer which travelled around alot in central Asia. He was a good drawer and his pictures is still of good use when it comes to orient in central Asia. Today, the Hedin-medal in gold is being dealt to the research of exploring not-that-well-known areas. Matis In the game Matis is a famous painter, whose talents are recognised by Rich from Britain and then distributed around the world. He used to like painting for the fun of it, but now has lost his enjoyment of the art due to it being for money and demand. Matis is named after a famous painter called Matisse. In reality, Henri Matisse (1869-1954) was a french painter, sculptor, illustrator and designer. His work concentrates on designs that emphasize curvaceous surface patterns, linear arabesques, and brilliant colour. He is most renowned for his painting 'La Desserte' which I don't think I need to translate... ! Rich In the game Rich is simply a wealthy Englishman who lives by himself. He is generous with his money, proved on two occasions, with Matis' painting and the rebuilding of Nirlake. In reality - I don't think he exists. I think he was made up in the game and called Rich because he was rich. Without a surname to go on, it would be impossible to find out about him. The only person that could be slightly matched to Rich in the game is Richard Branson, the British self-made millionaire. Of course this wouldn't be the ideal match as all of the other people featured in this section were born in the same period of time, roughly between 1845 - 1860, whereas Richard Branson wasn't born until 1950. Keinz Keinz plays the role as economic forecaster in the game, and tells you how far the town you are in has evolved, and whether or not it has progressed sufficiently. If you are familiar with economics/ history you will notice that the economist Keinz is a real person. Keynes (the real spelling) is the most famous and influential economist of the 20th century. He single handedly created the economic policies now known collectively as "Keynsian economics," since he wanted to prevent another great depression from ever happening. Want to know how influential Keynsian economics are? Well all of modern economics is based on it, and the U.S. economy is based in its principles. his policies of course have been modified and mixedd with more classic principles recently and economists like milton friedman oppose some of his main points but none the less he made a huge contribution to the field. Thanks to scnunez for that information. Will In the game Will is the inventor of the aeroplane. All there is to mention is that it took a few near fatal attempts before success. Will is named after William Edward Boeing. In reality, Wilbur Wright (1867-1912) along with his brother Orville Wright (1871-1948) were US brothers who pioneered powered flight. Inspired by Lilienthal's gliding, they perfected their piloted glider in 1902. One year later, they built their first powered machine, and became the first to make a successful powered flight, near Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. Thank you to Casey for his correction there. Marily In the game Marily is a worker for Madame Papilo. Annoyed at the slave labour, low pay and the fact that the clothes she makes are too expensive for people to buy. She therefore leaves Papilo and starts her own shop, which is instantly more popular. She makes cheaper clothes so that more people of the lower class can sample her products. I am still researching into this to see if there is a real-life fashion designer with a name similar to Marily. Mick In the game Mick is a cook experimenting with beef. After trying it in numerous different ways, he puts it in a bun, thus inventing the burger. He goes on to open his own restaurant called something like Micks burgers. How original. In reality, I think it must be the obvious. I personally belief, with no real background, that Mick's burgers are a take-off of the most famous burger bar of all, McDonalds. If you think about it 'Mick' and 'Mc' are very similar sounding. Both are to do with burgers. If you don't think I'm right then fine. Everyones entitled to their own opinion. Stoma In the game Stoma is a famous food taster, his food opinions are legendary. It is said that whatever food passes his tests of appearance, fragrance and taste instantly becomes famous. He is the reason, in the game, that tinned sardines and burgers became famous. In reality, again I think there is no such person, but that Stoma is actually a shortened version of 'stomach'. This would fit the job description ideally, as food and stomach are kind of linked. I could be wrong of course, but like I said, if you don't want to believe me then don't. Columbus In the game Columbus is a famous explorer who searches for new land. We all know who he's based on, don't we ? That's right, in reality Columbus is Christopher Columbus (1451-1506). He was an Italian navigator and explorer. His Spanish name is 'Cristobal Colon'. He made four voyages to the new world and in 1942, he reached San Salvador Island, Cuba and Haiti. From 1493-96, he reached Guadaloupe, Montserrat, Antigua, Puerto Rico, and Jamaica. In 1498, he visited Trinidad, and the mainland of South America. From 1502-04, he visited Honduras and Nicaragua. Of course, he is known world-wide as the man who discovered America. Temjin Temjin's role in the game is small, but interesting. He plays a selfish rich chap whom you meet in Louran. That's it really, he asks you what he should do with his dosh when he dies, and you tell him to either give it to you (!) or take it with him to his grave, which activates a little secret (see secrets section). In reality, and this is purely a hypothesis, I believe Temjin to be Genghis Kahn. Why you ask? Because his real name was 'Temuchin'. Hmmmmm. Anyhoo, Genghis Kahn (1162-1227) was a Mongul conquerer. He founded a great empire which extended across most of Asia. The name 'Genghis Kahn' actually means 'Very Mighty Ruler' and Temuchin gave himself that name when he became the leader of the Mongols. The Mongols were a scattered group of barbarian tribes who lived in the region of central Asia now called Mongolia. At the age of 13, Temuchin became the chieftain of one of the smaller tribes, but quickly succeeded in conquering many others. He then called together a meeting of all the Mongols and proclaimed himself ruler. The Mongols were warlike by nature, but up to this time they had done their fighting mostly amongst themselves. Genghis Kahn turned them into one large, well-organised army. It was the most effective army at the time, but also the most savage. Wherever they went, the Mongols spread terror and destruction, sometimes slaughtering whole populations of cities which would not immediately surrender to their control. By the time Genghis Kahn died, the Mongol Empire included all of central Asia, and parts of Persia, India, Russia, and China. It was one of the largest land empires in history. Nomads In the game they play some gimps who live in tents (North of Louran) who don't really want to talk to you until they find out that you've talked to Haydn then htye 'open up to you' or summink. The Quattro's and residents of the Caravan could also be described as Nomads. Reality - pretty obvious stuff but what the hell. Nomads are people who wander from place to place and have no permanent home (like the Quattro's - down Conspiracy !!!). They usually travel within certain general areas according to the seasons and the supply of food. Hunting Nomads, such as the pygmies of Africa and Asia, follow the animals that they kill to eat. Pastoral Nomads, such as the Bedouins of North Africa, drive their herds of camels, goats, sheep and horses from one patch of grazing land to another. There is not enough vegitation to set up permanent farms. Nomads generally live in tents or some other equally simple type of shelter, and carry few belongings with them. Meaning of the Places Even the places in Terranigma have references to real-life places. Here's a few examples : Airs Rock In the game, Airs Rock is a huge rock in Australia. In reality, it is called Ayers Rock, also found in Australia. It is known as being the world's largest monolith, an ovate mass of pinkish rock in Northern Territory, measurin 335m (1,100ft) high and 9km (6 miles) round. It is referred to as Uluru as the Aborigines, and is also known for the spectacular view of sunsets / sunrises that you can see from atop it. Ghana A country in W Africa, bounded by the north by Burkina Faso, east by Togo, south by the golf of guinea, and west by the ivory coast. Gobi An Asian desert divided between the Mongolian People's Republic and Inner Mongolia, China; 800km (500 miles) north-south, and 1,600km (1,000 miles) east-west. It is rich in fossil remains of extinct species. Loire In the game, a town in Europe. In reality, the longest river in France, rising in the Cevennes at 1,350m (4,430ft) and flowing for 1,050km (625 miles) first north, then west until it reaches the Bay of Biscay at St Nazaire, passing Nevers, Orleans, Toures, and Nantes. It gives it's name to the departements of Loire, Haute-Loire, Loire-Atlantique, Indre-et-Loire, Maine-et-Loire, and Saone-et-Loire. There are many chateaux and vineyards along it's banks. Lhasa In the game, this is the place in Tibet where you wake up after Eklemata. The great Kumari lives there. In reality, Lhasa is also known as 'the forbidden city' capital of the autonomous region of Tibet, China, at 5,000m (16,400ft) with a poulation of (1982) 105,000. Products include handicraft and light industry. Indus R In the game, a bridge made of elephants for you to cross. In reality, Indus R is part of the Indus Valley Civilization, a prehistoric culture existing in the northwest Indian subcontinent about 2500-1600 BC. Remains include soapstone seals with engravings of elephants (hmmmm...) and snakes. Yangtze In the game, you cross through this area to get to Louran, basically a river you need to cross. In reality, this is called Yangtze-Kiang, former name for Chang Jiang, greatest Chinese River. Storkolm In the game, this is the mirror village of Crysta, where Ark came from. The King of Loire killed all the villagers to get the legendary treasure from this town, only Elle survived. The treasure turned out to be the Hero Armour and the Hero Pike. In reality, Stockholm is a capital and industrial port of Sweden; population (1986) 663,000. It is built on a number of islands. Industries include engineering, brewing, electrical goods, paper, pottery and textiles (hmm... the weavers ?). Sahara In the game, a desert where you find one of the five starstones. In reality, the most well known of deserts in the world. It is the largest desert in the world, occupying 5,500,000 sq km (2,123,000 sq miles) and covers a large quantity of Africa. Polynese In the game, a small island that you resurrect (see secrets page) in the midst of other small islands. It's only function is to get a free nap, although you'll be toasted in the morning and it'll say your Macho Appeal has gone up by 10 or something (this has no significant effect). In reality, it's a geographical zone. Most of the islands in the Pacific Ocean are divided for the sake of convenience into three geographical zones - Melanesia, Micronesia and Polynesia. Polynesia is the easternmost section and contains some of the more remote islands. the region can be outlined by a vast triangle (I think it's a triangular(ish) shaped island in the game) whose points are Midway in the north, New Zealand in the south west and Easter Island and Salay-Gomez in the east. Other islands within this area include the Cook, Ellice, Hawaiian, Marquesas, Society, Line and Tonga Islands, and Pitcairn and Samoa. The word Polnesia means 'many islands'. Most of the islands lie south of the Equator. Many of them are peaks of drowned volcanoes thrusting above the surface of the ocean, but others are mere atolls or coral reefs. Most of them are covered with luxuriant vegetation, which flourishes in the hot climate and heavy, seasonal rainfall. The Polynesian people are believed to have sailed to the islands originally from India and other places on the Asian mainland. They are a tall, well-build, athletic people with light brown or reddish brown skins and straight or curly hair. They are expert house and boat builders, and, probably because of the pleasant conditions under which they live, are somewhat easy-going. Their fishermen build pirogues, canoes with an outrigger float to keep them steady. Polynesians are superb swimmers and divers, and are fond of music, singing and dancing. Before many of them were converted to Christianity, they believed in ancestor worship. About one million Polynesians speak between them some 60 related dialects. The major language groups are those spoken by the Hawaiians, Samoans, Tahitians and the Maoris of new Zealand. Cape Town Cape Town is one of the most frustrating things about Terranigma, as it is an area of land (situated in South America) that you cannot access, even though it shows you the names of the places when you fly over it. You can find more info about this in the rumors section. In reality, Cape Town is the second largest city in South Africa. It is a port and the capital of Cape Province. It is also the legislative (law-making) capital of the Republic of South Africa. The administrative offices of the Republic government are in Pretoria. With it's suberbs, Cape Town has a population of about 800,000. The city is dominated by Table Mountain, and lies on the South-West coast of Africa. The city was founded in 1652 as a supply base from ships going to and from the East. Its excellent harbour has made it an important trading centre. Its importance in east-west trade grew once again after the Suez Canal was closed because of the Middle East war in 1967. Of course, there are many other places such as Greenland, NeoTokio (Tokyo), New Zealand, Balklands etc. But most of those are obvious. Still, if the demand is great enough, I'll add the lot in. =============================================================================================== 20.

Boring stuffs =============================================================================================== This is only a few boring stuffs like copyright and such: This FAQ is a product made of Wertigon. Putting it up on your homepage is okay as long as you don't change anything in it and as long as you contact me of it. Email adress is: wertigon@hotmail.com If that is to much to ask for, (sounds like it is a fair deal to me, but I don't know about you,) then don't put it up on your homepage. If you are a proud owner of a Terranigmasite, though, you should put it up, since this is the best Terranigma FAQ on the web. And that is only the plain and simple truth. If you've seen anything better, then make sure and contact me, so I can change the above statement. This FAQ was made by using Wordpad and Notepad, And the first version became completed on 1999-06-05. Latest update was on 1999-10-11. Oh, yeah, one more thing: If you are trying to make profit on this FAQ, I'm gonna get angry on you. And when I get angry, I call my friend. He's a guy that research new antivirus program, and to do that, he have to have some viruses. IF you are trying to make profit on my work, I'll send you a virus that is so new that no one have found out a cure for it yet. If I were you, I wouldn't try it, unless you want to have a totally unknown virus that causes disorder on your harddrive. So... Don't even think about it! Thank you for your time.
