You will then see Valkyrie in a field, she comments about how it certainly is Nice. You will then see leaves blowing around as Valkyrie walks along a beaten path while the credits go by. Eventually she will arrive at an Ancient Castle. Now walk forward and you will see a woman at the enterence. When you get close enough she will speak. She will welcome you to Valhalla. Here name is Phlia. She will say that She and her sister Frei missed her alot. Valkyrie then says that it has been a long time and asks if she doing well. Phlia will answer yes, then she says that Odin wants her inside. Valkyrie will then go inside. Valkyrie will say that she has arrivied and kneel. Frei will tell her to stand up. She then warps down to Valkyrie and hugs her. Frei will talk about how its been a while since they've seen each other and say that she missed Valkyrie. Valkyrie says she also missed Frei. Odin then notes Rennas Valkyrie as one of the 3 Goddess of Fate. He then continues by saying that needs some help with the World of Destruction "Ragnarok". Valkyrie wonders about Ragnarok. Odin then says that with the Van Race ready to make a move, The Earth Gods are stuck in a fairly difficult situation. So he wants you to goto the Lower World of Midguard and find Human Souls that can do fight against them. Valkyrie says that sound like a very important job for herself, but she will do it. Odin then continues that once it has arrived certain destruction is inevitable. Frei will then agree. Then a light will emit from Valkyrie and she will then be in different clothers. After that Frei adds that she is going too. Frei then continues saying that it should be a memoriable experience. After that Valkyrie and Frei warp out as the camera rises to the sky. The camera then fades in on Valkyrie and Frei on a Cliff. Valkyrie asks if this is the world that humans inhabit. Frei answers yes, this is the Midguard. And this is where their souls reside. Frei asks if she thinks its nice. Valkyrie says she doesn't really have a sentimental feelings about. It just looks like a bunch of land. Frei asks if that's so. Frei then says that it's time for them to go. Valkyrie asks where to go now. Frei asks Valkyrie about what she just said, and then wonders if she is going to have to teach her. Frei then Warps and then Valkyrie follows. They both then reappear on the world map. Frei asks Valkyrie what can't she hear. Valkyrie says she can't hear anything. Frei tells her that she needs to use her power. Frei then tells her to open her eyes, concentrate her mind, and to empty her heart, and be very understanding. The game will then tell you to press Start to listen to the Spirits, so press Start. The world will then rotate around Valkyrie and she will hear many different things and eventually tell you to goto Altoria. Valkyrie is speechless after that. Frei asks if she heard that. Valkyrie will ask what that was. Frei then tells Valkyrie that is her power. With it she can listen to Humans Pain, Anger, and Wishes. And with that she can have a good sense of the Soul. Frei continues by saying that Valkyrie must get the Souls of dead human fighters. But Valkyrie is wondering how she is going to choose who to take. Frei says that is a problem, so... Valkyrie then inquires about the so. But Frei just says that they should start moving, then says that they will need to have hearts that understand humans. The both then warp out as the screen darkens. Then a message will come up on the screen says "Heart of a Human...Do I even have a Heart?". ----- Aluze ----- The screen will the come back up and you will see a brown haired Knight kill a gorilla with an Ax. Then more soilders will run by and a man with a giant sword will walk onto the screen. Rofar will then tell Aluze to please hurry up. The camera will then move to the right and you will see two soldiers down and four more soldiers facing off against a flying creature. Soldier A will say this is frightening. Aluze then walks on the screen and Soldier B notices. Aluze will say it is just a bother. Now move Aluze to the flying creature and just as you get there Rofar will walk up. Rofar will say he is in this too. You will then enter battle. It is just a Lesser Harpy, and this will probably be the first time you mess with the battle system. Also the Lesser Harpy has Combo Guard, so your first few attacks probably won't do anything, but all it takes is 3 rounds. The screen will then switch to a new location. You will see a simple house and a man paint. Aluze then walks in. Roy will say that his brother startled him. Roy will then ask if Aluze got injured. Aluze will say that he is fine. Aluze then walks over to where his brother has been painting. Aluze asks if Roy has actually done anything besides painting that cat. Roy will then say that painting is doing something. Aluze asks how much the painting is worth. Roy says it isn't worth anything. Aluze then says how worthless it was. Roy then hesitintly asks his brother to quit fighting and killing. Aluze is taken aback by the question and says that they would have no money and no food. Aluze then walks off and tells him that he should get a new interest. Then a flashback occurs. Aluze is sitting on the table and asks his brother what he wants to eat. Roy will say that he isn't very hungry and for him to go get somthing himself. Roy then continues by saying that he is going to goto bed early so he can get up and finsh painting the cat. Then it comes back and Roy aplogizes for asking his Brother why he fights. Aluze then says that he will leave his gold here. Aluze then puts a Gold Statue on the table. Roy will then ask what the statue is. Aluze says it supposed to be lucky. He got it in battle by killing the strongest people. Aluze then continues up to bed and the screen fades. Then you hear a clinking noise. An Elderly gentleman bends over to pick up a Scepter that fell on the ground. Ronbelt will then tell the Princess that she needs to be more careful with her stuff, saying that he has seen this staff cause some real trouble. The Princess then shouts out Silence. Then adding that she is going to go see the Wind Ghost Soldiers. Ronbelt then asks the princess what she is doing, saying that all he wants is for her to trust him. Sherad then thinks it over as Ronbelt hands back the scepter and leaves. Now the screen show the King and many knights kneeling. The kings is talking about how there are special breed of people. And about how it all comes from the heart. The King then says it is time to bring in their strongest warrior, Aluze. The screen then moves to where Aluze has been. Aluze then stands up. The King then tells him to take his Money and Statue. Aluze then walks forward to where the King and Sherad are. Aluze then thanks the king for his kind words, and says he tries to keep his heart clear, but thanks the King for everything. Aluze asks himself why he is taking this. Aluze then thinks this has to be some kind of a fraud. Azule then starts laughing. The crowd then quiets down. Aluze then tells the King how pathetic this was. The King asks what he is talking about. Aluze then asks the King if he didn't really think he would know about the statue. The King is shocked. Then Aluze lifts his sword and Sherad tells her father to get down, but Aluze was aiming at the Statue. Aluze then says that he has no interst in that. Sherad the yells at Aluze telling him he has no right to speak to her Father the King that way. Sherad then add that she hopes he dies a thousand times. Aluze then starts to leave and the cowering King gets up. Sherad yells for someone to stop him, but no one does. You now see Sherad in her room. Sherad is wondering about the Commoner Man and about how she can get rid of him in one poof. She then comes up with an idea. You are now back in Aluze rooms and you can control him. Head downstairs and to the door. You will then hear a knocking. A Girl will then come in. Aluze will ask what she needs. The Girl will ask if he is Aluze. He then says that he is. The Girl then introduces herself as Shera... Aluze then wonders about the name. The Girl then says its Sara. The Girl then says she is name Angela. Both are puzzled. Aluze then asks what she came for. "Angela" says she has a job for him. Roy asks if his brother isn't really going to take it. Aluze is really thinking. The scene then fades to the Main Street of Altoria. Aluze wants to know where he is going. "Angela" doesn't really know where to go here. Aluze then just suggest they go in the Chinese Restaurant. The Waitress then shows up and asks for there order. Aluze will think this entire thing is weird. "Angela" then tells the waitress that she will have this and this and this and this... The Waitress will say "Angela" certainly does have a craving for food. And this and this... Aluze stands up and asks if she is going to eat the entire restuarant. "Angela" says she certainly couldn't eat all of the food in the restuarant. Aluze then gets frustrated and sits back down. He then asks what the job is. "Angela" then asks if they can talk about it after she's finshed eating. The screen will then go black and tell you 30 Minutes Later... "Angela" will call for the Cook. The Waitress will ask what she needs. "Angela" will just repeat that she needs to see the Cook. Aluze will get frustrated and say she should stop acting like a King. The Head Cook will then walk on screen and ask what she wanted. "Angela" will say the food tastes like Shit and say that the meat is still alive. The Cook will explain that is how it is supposed to be. "Angela" will then start to complain about the soup. The Cook will then again explain that is how it is supposed to be. "Angela" will then asks if that is a chopped up monster, saying she doesn't want to eat a baby Kraken. The Cook will then explain that its Squid. Anyways this keeps going on and eventually "Angela" takes a drink of water and spits it out asking what this is. Then she asks if they are trying to poison her. "Angela" then says that she hopes the cook dies a thousand times, then falls down asleep. Aluze wakes up and notes that she drank Sake. The screen then changes to Aluze house. Roy is asking if his brother is going to take the job. Aluze will say yes. Then "Angela" will roll over and her hat will fall off. Aluze will then be shocked noting that its Princess Sherad. Roy will tell his brother he is going to bed. Aluze then says he will probably end up taking the job. Aluze then tells his brother he hopes he feels better. Sherad will then talk in her sleep and Aluze will wonder what she is saying. Eventually Sherad tells her father that she will make sure Aluze dies a thousand times. Aluze then sits on the bed and understands. The screen then fades to the previous day as Aluze notes the reasons why Sherad wants revenge. "Angela" will then wake up and wonder where she is. She will then asks Aluze if he still wants the job. Aluze says he will. Sherad will walk out of the room and Aluze will ponder the job. The scene will change to that of a bar, and an Agent in a black coat walks coat walks in. Badluck will notice this and the Agent will take a drink and walk over to Badluck. Badluck will ask what they need to talk about. The Agent won't say anything. Badluck asks why the Agent didn't say anything. The Agents says they need to speak quickly and tells Badluck about his partner. Badluck says he doesn't need a partner. Eventually Badluck asks for 5000 extra. The Agent says its a deal. Badluck says that was easy and then asks about his partner. The Agent will then leave. Badluck will then say he doesn't care if he has a partner so long as he gets paid. The screen will head back to Aluze house. You can now freely walk around town. But all you really need to do is just go in and out of your house. When you go back in Roy will tell you that the woman is here. The Agent then says she needs to speak with Aluze. Roy will ask if this is about the job and Aluze says it is. Roy then asks if he took it. Anyways after a while you will end up outside and Badluck will greet you. Badluck then introduces himself. The Agents says they should stop talking and get going. Badluck agrees. Then the screen will go black and Aluze will explain there travels. Eventually you will see Aluze and Badluck travling on the road. Badluck says the only reason he took this job is for the money, also the fact that Ronbelt wanted him to take it too. Aluze will ask if its the same Altoria Minister Ronbelt. Badluck tells Aluze to wait, and then he notes there are soldiers approaching. Aluze then tells about the Knights and eventually one of the Knights will tell you to Halt. One of the Knights runs up to the cart and Badluck tells him to wait. Aluze then tells his thoughts and then tells Badluck to run. Badluck stops and asks what that is. You will see Sherad as Aluze explains it is Sherad. Now you will see Badluck and Aluze resting with Badluck explaining about how they had to run all night. Badluck will tell about how Ronbelt betrayed them. Aluze is about to slash at Badluck, but he tells Aluze that he was betrayed too. Aluze will then ask about how he knew about the knights and Ronbelt. Badluck explains that Ronbelt is actually a Valnova Spy. Aluze can't believe it, but Badluck says its true. Ronbelt wanted to have the Princess moved to Valnova so he could start a fight. You then hear Aluze mull over his plan to kill Ronbelts and then you hear Sherad ask Aluze to help her. The screen will be back to where it was before and you will hear a man shout out. Aluze will grab his sword and Badluck will wonder what that was. Badluck will then walk to the next screen and ask what that thing is. You will then see a Red Beast with Two Knight dead, with one Knight holding it off. That Knight will then ask for help. Aluze will ask that Knight about Sherad. The Knight will explain that Ronbelt did somthing to the Princess. Badluck asks if that is the Princess. Aluze will talk about what Ronbelt has done to everyone. After that Badluck explains that is a Ghoul Pounder. Aluze asks what a Ghoul Pounder is. Badluck explains that it is a human changed into a monster and that only Necromancers can do it. Aluze wonders if Ronbelt is a Necromancer. The screen will shift to the beast and you will see 4 ghosts surround it. Aluze then thinks about Angela. Badluck wonders why he is thinking about Sherad and then says this is Altoria's Problem and then leaves. After this Aluze explains he doesn't have the personality to run away. So you then see him run towards the Ghoul Pounder, but when he gets there Valkyrie and Frei warp in. Valkyrie quickly dispatches 2 of the Ghosts. Aluze then tells you to leave, but then says it can't be. Valkyrie tells the human to leave, that he can't fight and he should watch from the path. Aluze wonders if this is the War Goddess Valkyrie. Anyways Aluze tells his thought then and when he is done you enter battle with the Ghoul Pounder. The Ghoul Pounder isn't hard either. Just takes about 5/6 rounds and it's over. After the battle Aluze will be walking along the path and discussing about how he thought he was strong, but then he realized he was just warrior in a little Kingdom. After that you see Valkyrie take the soul from Sherad's body. Then the scene shifts back to where Aluze is challanging Ronbelt. Ronbelt will say he underestimated Aluze and then takes his glasses off saying it won't happen again. Ronbelt then casts a spell which surrounds Aluze in black. You then see Sherad begging Valkyrie to help Aluze, which she eventually agrees to do. Ronbelt then says he could survive the Ghoul by running, but he can't survive now. Then Voice will say to stop hurting that man. Valkyrie then comes in and breaks the spell. Ronbelt can't believe that. Then he thinks she just has the ability to break dark spells. Valkyrie then asks why he was trying to corrupt Aluze soul. After that a battle occurs. ----------- Boss Battle ----------- Name:Ronbelt HP:750 Attacks:Burn Storm Strategy:There isn't too much strategy you can do. Just attack and eventually Ronbelt will go down. You shouldn't have to heal. Otherwise this is a standard easy first battle. After the battle four soldier will be trying to take down Aluze. Aluze will ask himself why he wants to kill as he dispatches the four soldiers with ease. Aluze then talk about how he is weak and he wants to die. Valkyrie then appears and say that he doesn't have all power. Aluze will say a Death God shouldn't talk like that. Then a voice will say to the Commoner that the War Goddess isn't a Death God, and hopes that he dies a thousand times. Sherad then appears. Aluze says he was wrong about Valkyrie being a Death God. Valkyrie says she need Aluze to help stop the Destruction. The Knight Captain comes in and asks Aluze to throw down his sword, and Aluze does. But then Aluze takes a short sword and kills himself. After that Sherad/Valkyrie/Aluze all talk. And after that you are back on the world map. Valkyrie will ask Frei whats wrong. Frei will say there is nothing wrong and say next they have to do something. Valkyrie asks about what they are doing next. Frei says she has to train her Heros so they won't "Die Again" on the God World. After that Frei says to use her Soul Concentration again. This time it will tell you to goto the Altoria Mountain Ruins. Valkyrie says she knows where to go, and Frei tells her to go there. So head to the Orange Dot and then press the O Button. ------------------- Mount Altoria Ruins ------------------- Once you enter Vakyrie will jump off of the Ledge and say she feels the enemies in here. Frei warps in and tells her she is right, there are the Undead here. Frei then says she will give you some help here. Frei first explains about Save Points, and that you should go. After that go save the game and then head to the right. When you enter this screen Frei will say this is battlefield and about how you fight enemies. Then Frei explain how you swing your sword. Anyways first thing to do is head all the way to the right and walk up the stairs. Then keep walking to the left and head in the door way. When you enter this room Frei will explain that in order open things you need to press Down and O Button. When you do that you will find the Iron Lattice Key. Then head all the way back to the first floor and then head the the first door you come to. If you go inside you should find a Eye of Heaven. After you get that keep walking to the left and go in the last door. When you enter Frei will tell you that you will need a Key to get through the Iron Lattice. Since you already have the Key just walk up to the door and it will open. Then Head downstairs. When you first enter here Frei will explain about how to climb ladders. Anyways just jump off the ledge and you should land at a jump you can't make. Frei will then come out and explain how you work your Crystals. After that just create a crystal and jump on out. After you Jump out Frei will explain that you can also temporaily freeze enemies with the Crystals too. Now head all the way to the right and you should find a room where you find a Plant Seed. Then start heading down but keep going to the left. Frei will then tell you about how certain Treasure Chests are trapped. Oh, one thing, If you can do a good combo against the Monster underneath the two treasures you can get a Fire-Lance Book(which is a good little spell for now). Anyways only the left treasure is trapped, so open the right as normal(It The Writing of the Immortal). Now open the Left Treasure and run, that way you avoid the damage. Then head back up and grab the treasure(it's a Plant Seed). Now head all the way down, and the goto the right. Keep walking and you will reach a Giant Pillar. Frei will tell you to hit the crack. So have Valkyrie swing at the crack about two times and the pillar will fall. After that you will get 500 points of experience. Frei will then tell you how to work the Experience chest. Now head back to the room where the Plant Seeds were and you will now find that you can walk all the way to the right. Now create a crystal path so you can get that treasure chest on the right, but watch out, its trapped. Now your probably saying how do I get that chest on the right, I can't jump. Well you can do this two way. What you need to do is to make "Hard Crystal" by jumping on it. Then you move these on the platform that had the Plant Seeds to the edge. With that you should be able to make the Jump, or you can just the Treasure Cheat(I haven't tried this, but I think it should work). Anyways if you can successfully do it, you can get a Treasure Search. When you have the Treasure Search Equipped, whenever you are in a room with treasure a blue orb will circle around you. Now head all the way to the bottom of this room and then head to the left. Then head to the left again. You will be in a very tall room and what you need to do is get to the top. Once you get to the top you will find a Crystal, Baritone, Zebori and an Angel Cure. Then head all the way down and this time goto the right. Now you will be in a room with many spikes. Just kill the enemy on the platfrom and then just up and get that Treasure Chest(It's an Element Scepter). Then keep going to the right. You will eventually enter a room that have a Nightshade and a Fire Lance, Frei will then tell you about how magic books work. Now head back to the room that had the treasure search. The go downstairs. Now walk to the right until you can climb the stairs. The on the (I think it's the 3rd platform) goto the right. You will then be in a room where you can find a Lapis Stone. The climb back up and you will reach a save point. So Save the Game. The walk to the right again. Valkyrie then says to Come Out. An Elder Vampire will then come out and claim Valkyrie is a distraction. Valkyrie says she protects life, while the Vampires use life. The Elder Vampire thought he could talk you out of fighting, but he guesses he is wrong. Frei than warps in and says she is leaving, but she gives Valkyrie a weapon. Frei then tells Valkyrie that the Weapon hits 3 times and hands over a Little Balshuu. You then get in a battle. ----------- Boss Battle ----------- Name:Elder Vampire 2x Dragon Servant HP: Elder Vampire:4800 Dragon Servant:500 Recommended Level:2 Attacks: Elder Vampire:2x Physical Fire Lance Shadow Servant Dragon Servant:1x Physical EXP:1000 Strategy:When you start this battle Valkyrie will explain that Dragon Servants have Combo Guard. Which will stop any combo. And the only way to break it is to have the whole party attack. Anyways this battle is pretty easy. Especially if you get a Clincher. After the battle you will see two treasure chests on the ground. When you open them you will find out they are the Houken Grim Gaudy and the Sealed Gem. If this is your first time playing the game, then just takes all artifacts. If you are playing to get the good ending, I would leave the Sealed Gem. Also once you finsh this you will get 3000 bonus exp. Anyways, Save and then head all the way back. Once you get to the first save point Frei warps out. Frei and Valkyrie talk and pretty much all Frei does is remind you of the things you learned. Then the game will explain the Chapter/Period system. Then Frei says you need to hurry to stop Ragnarok. Then she leaves a Fairy with you. The Fairy just tells you about the battle system. Anyways just jump out the way you came in, and you will then be in Chapter 1. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------- 2.2)Chapter 1 ------------- Events: Path 1)Meeting with Belinas.

The Woman will then walk over to the stream. Her name is Asaka. Asaka then asks what the name of this ugly rock is. The Man(Belinas) will tell her to put that down and get going. Asaka will will not say anything and then Belinas will come over and grab the rock. Asaka will then tell Belinas to give her back the rock. When Belinas doesn't answer Asaka says that buying and selling slaves is almost in-human. Belinas talks about how it can't be helped and that they will be better off. Asaka then just says that all she was trying to say is it was wrong, especially to children. Then Asaka says that she isn't going to go watch. Belinas then says that if Asaka has a problem with it she doesn't have to come, but that is what this country does. Asaka will say that was cruel, and then says that people only have one life to live. Belinas will pause a second and then ask if Asaka wants her rock back. She will then say yes. There will be another pause and Belinas will say that this rock will bring good destiny. Asaka will ask what a destiny is. Belinas will explain that is all decsisions by the Gods. The screen will then go black and you will be in a flash back. You will see Belinas with a Man and a Woman and with Asaka crying on the floor. A Woman(Maria) will explain that they found a cute one, and they are giving her as a gift. Belinas will then ask his father what he expects them to do with this child. His father will tell him that he can give the child some of the tasks that Maria does. His father then leaves. Belinas will say to Maria how absurd this is. Maria will apoligize to the girl. Then Belinas will ask what the childs name is. Maria will tell him that it is Asaka. Belinas will question the name and Maria will say yes. Belinas will snap his fingers and Asaka will then stop crying. Belinas will then say it is nice to see her face. After that the scene will go to the cages. Asaka will ask if it is today and Belinas will not answer. Now you are back at the stream and Belinas tells Asaka to keep the rock of destiny. Now Belinas will now talk "Destiny? With Maria dead why am I talking about destiny. With Father and Many of my Friends killed in Battle why am I talking about destiny." After that he continues on about how he doesn't believe in destiny and then talks about how he meet Asaka. Now you are at the Cages again and Asaka will try and get Belinas attention. Belinas says there is no way he can do it. The scene will then shift to Belinas house. Belinas will be sleeping in bed when all of a sudden a Ghost appears. Belinas jumps out of bed as the ghost approaches him. But just before the ghost can get to him Valkyrie warps in and takes out the Ghost. Belinas will ask who you are, then pauses saying it can't be. Valkyrie will then explain that the Undead Curse this house and particularly the girl. Belinas will then thinks about Asaka and immediatly takes off to her room. Valkyrie then warps out. You will then see an Elder Vampire over the life-less body of Asaka. The Elder Vampire will say he did this all for Veriza. The Elder Vampire warps out just as Belinas comes in. Belinas then yells out Asaka and walks over to her. Valkyrie then warps in. Belinas then asks Valkyrie to please help the girl. Valkyrie will then ask if Belinas still doesn't believe in Destiny. Belinas will ask about this Destiny, then wonders about how this can all be destiny. Anyways after a while Valkyrie will explain that she can summon Asaka's soul back if Belinas gives his Soul. Valkyrie then explains to him that it means dying. Belinas then says he doesn't care. Valkyrie then hops up into the air, and flaps her wings a couple of times and Belinas falls down. Valkyrie then heads to the floor and grabs Belinas soul. Valkyrie will then warp out. After this a strange light will surround Asaka's body. Now you will see Valkyrie in Belinas room and eventually a message will come up that will tell you about Magic God Veriza. Anyways you will find yourself on the World Map again and it is time to use the Soul Concentration. And this time it will tell you to goto the Forgotten Caves. --------------- Forgotten Caves --------------- These Caves only purpose is for you to gain Levels. However, I recommend that you skip this one. The monsters inside are just too strong for you right now. Anyways, after you have finshed that use your Soul Concentration again and it will tell you to head to Clairmonferan. ------ Rourry ------ The scene will open up with many people attending a funeral. An admistrator will be asking for the War Goddess to take this heroes soul. And that she should please come. The the camera will move up and you will see doves flying above a massive castle. The scene will then move on and you will see a young woman in a forest. Then a man will run up. Rourry will apoligze to Miria and will note that she waited. Miria will say that she did because she wanted to see you. You will then hear the leaves rustle and Miria will comment about the music that the trees make. Miria will then ask Rourry what he thinks about the music. Rourry will then look up to the sky and say that it sure makes him feel better and that it reminds him of the sound the ocean makes. Miria will then ask Rourry why he wanted to meet her here. Rourry will asks what's wrong. Miria says that she has a feeling Rourry is going to goto Sea or become a Soldier and fight in a War. Rourry will ask how she knows. Miria say she just knows and that her Mother told her to forget all about Rourry. Rourry says that it is probably the best thing to do. Miria says he shouldn't say that. Miria then says she has a feeling that Rourry will come back, once more. Rourry will be presently supprised at this. Rourry then hugs Miria and tells her that he won't die. Miria then returns the hug. The screen will then go black and a message will tell you that Rourry did die in battle. When the scene comes back up you will see Miria in a Chair. Rourry will be thinking about how cruel it was to say that and that he was wrong to go off to battle. The screen will the go back to the forest and you will see Miria talk about how she will one day speak to Rourry again. The leaves will rustle in the forest once again. Miria will say how cruel that is and ask the noise to stop. The trees will then rustle again. Miria will this time beg whoever is doing this to stop. She then says she can't even look to the sky knowing Rourry is dead. The screen will go black. Valkyrie will then appear on the screen. She asks Rourry if he really wants to do this. Rourry will explain that is what he said. Valkyrie will say that you humans think one thing and do another. Rourry will question this. Valkyrie talks about how even though the strong feel strong, and the weak feel Weak, they all in the end have the same Heart. Valkyrie then asks if he understands and then asks him about the Woman. Valkyrie asks Rourry if he wants to stop the never ending pain of the Woman. Rourry then says he wouldn't know what to say. The screen the fades back into the forest. You then see Rourry run towards Miria as she gets up and shouts out his name. Rourry then hugs her and Miria then hugs him. Rourry then apoligizes for not being able to see her. The screen then goes blank and Valkryie will comment about how she is slowly turning into an Angel... Now use your Soul Concentration again and it will tell you to head to the Soldi Cemetary. --------------- Soldi Cementary --------------- I recommend that you take Rourry with you instead of Belinas. You will need his Bow for the boss battle of this dungeon. Now on with the Walkthrough. When you first enter head straight to the right and fall down the whole in the ground. You should land on a top of a pile of skulls. And there should be a bag near it. In that bag is the skill Attack Power. It's really nice little skill to start pumping up right now. But Since I generally Belinas up after the first chapter, I tend to spend his CP on his Hero Possibility. Anyways after this head back up the pile of skulls to the left. In this room take out all the enemies, then you will need to crystalize the platform to the left. This will allow you to make a running jump so that you can get the Short Bow. It is very important that you have a bow for this boss battle. So once you grab that continue heading to the left. Now first head past the ladder and go in the doorway. Now to your left you will see a Gargoyle Statue in a Pentagram and to your right you will see a Stone Monument. What you need to do is slash the Gargoyle then move the Monument to the Pentagram. When you do this you will be rewarded with 1000 Experience. Then go outside this room and climb the ladder. After that just keep going to the left until you reach a new room. First keep going until you reach the ladder. Then climb it and continue to the left and you will find a chest that has the Avoid skill in it. Then head back to the ladder and go through the doorway. And in this room just move the Monument on the left into the Pentagram that is to the right and you gain another 100 Exp. Then head out and slide underneath those rocks. Now you will have to do the same Monument/Pentagram things and when you finsh continue on to your right. In this room first you should head to the bottom platfrom and open the chest and you will find a Fire Lance spell in it, but watch out it is traped. Now you will need to climb that stair to the top and push the Monument off the edge. Then just slash at the Gargoyle and you will gain another 1000 Exp. Then just continue along the very top route and head into the new room. In this room you can grab a Broad Sword and a Eye of Heaven, but to get the Eye of Heaven you will need to attach a crystal to the platform to allow you to make the jump. After that slash at the Gargoyle and if everything works right then the door to the left should open. If it doesn't it means you missed a Statue. Anyways once the door opens you will gain 5000 Exp. Then continue on the room to the right. Now head down to the bottom left and save. Then continue along the bottom path and you will find a Treasure Chest, but you will need to watch out as the Chest contains a trap. Once you open it you will get a Element Scepter. Then go back and save again and take the high road this time. But don't go in through the door yet. You first need to equip a bow on Valkyrie if you haven't already and you will soon understand why. Once you have the bow equipped on Valkyrie head through the door. When you walk in a Drow Shaman will be there. Valkyrie will say the Shamam must be the one harrasing the dead. The Shaman will talk about how it is fun, etc. Valkyrie will then get mad and you will enter a battle. ----------- Boss Battle ----------- Name: Violent Apeman 2x Drow Shamans HP: Violent Apeman:4000 Drow Shamans:1000 Recommended Level:4 Attacks: Violent Apeman:Physical Drow Shamans:Fire Lance EXP: Strategy:If you do not have a bow equipped on Valkyrie(or you have Rourry) when you start this battle one of your characters will die. What you have to do is on the first round have Valkyrie/Rourry use their bow to take out one of the Shamans in the back row. If you don't they will both use Fire Lance on the same character, and that character will die. After both of the Shaman are gone, then just use the standard battle plan and just use your Clinchers. After the battle is over you will find a horde of treasure for your taking. You will find a Book on Making Damsacus(Send up), the Crown of Thelma(Keep), and the Grey Blue Scarf(Keep) and then a message will tell you that you gained 10000 Exp. But, don't leave yet. There are two more chests you can get. Use your crystal on the right wall and go up to the top. You will then find a book for the spell Cool Dazzel(Very Nice) and a book for the skill Magic Power(also very nice). Anyways after that is all done use the stairs to the left to leave. ------ Extras ------ These are optional events you can do. You don't have to do them, but they will generally add more to the story/make you stronger/get you a better ending. ------------- Dragon Slayer ------------- This is a very nice weapon. It will kill all Dragons in 1 hit. You can find it by going to Aluze's house in Altoria. Just walk up to his bedroom and then Aluze will come out and grab the weapon. --------------- Graveyard Scene --------------- Head to the Graveyard, It is the highest dot that isn't Orange. When you enter Valkyrie will wonder what this place is. She says she can sense a human spirit. Valkyrie will then walk over to the left and then become suprised. She rushs over and you then see two ghosts by the Grave. Valkyrie will ask what they are doing here. She slashes at them once. Valkyrie then looks around and will talk about how the ran away. Valkryie then wonders why the Undead would want to haunt this rock. Valkryie notices that its a Tombstone. After that you can leave. ------------------- War Goddess Pendant ------------------- If you head to Clairmonferan and walk all the way to the right you will enter a little forest. Rourry will the come out and say that you might possibly be able to use this. He then hands you the War Goddess Pendant. It reduces Dark Damage by 50%. -------------- Plucked Flower -------------- Go to Lassen and the head to the right. You will now be in Belinas house. Now take the route that leads to Asaka's room. When you enter it Belinas will come out and think of Asaka. You will then get the Plucked Flower. This reduces Poison Damage by 90%. After you have done those, just waste out the rest of the periods and eventually you will be called to Valhalla. ---------------- Sacred Phase 1-2 ---------------- Frei will give you a greeting, then reports on how the battle is going. In case you care here are my statitics: Starting: Earth God Race:24 Van God Race:31 Other:25 After: Earth God Race:23 Van God Race:31 Other:26 Frei then told me that I need to work harder and stop messing around. Anyways after this Frei will give you 2250 Materlize Points. The Frie will describe what they need. Here is what I got(might be the same for you/ might be different). Hero Possibility:50 Fighter Tactics Leadership Identify Frei then gave me a good luck and I was onto Chapter 2. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------- 2.3)Chapter 2 ------------- Events: Path 1)Meeting with Rofar.

So make Belinas have all of the qualities Frei wants and then transfer him up. After you have done that, use your Soul Concentration and then head to Altoria. ----- Rofar ----- When you enter Altoria you will see Roy(Aluze's Brother), sitting in Jail. Roy will be thinking about Aluze. The screen will then shift and you will see Rofar asking what happened to Aluze. The Knight Captain will explain that Aluze killed Princess Sherad, Ronbelt, and many other soldiers. Rofar will the get mad at his father. There will then be a flash- back scene where you see Aluze and Rofar practicing. Aluze will then beat Rofar and Rofar will say that he wished he could be a genius too. Aluze will say that it's not genius, it is just a "Distinction" that Aluze and Rofar have. Aluze then walks over and picks up the Ax. Aluze asks Rofar to grab the Ax, and then they can practice more. The scene will the come back to the present. You will see Rofar walking along when he overhears a Soldier talking about the Fighting Genius had murdered. Rofar will then drop his head and become sad. The other soldier will ask if he might have went berserk. There will be another flashback where you see Aluze, Rofar and his Father standign around. Aluze will be talking about how the world is going to hell, but about how it's slowly becoming better. The Knight Captian will say that he sure has an optimist point of view. The scene will then switch to the top of a Mountain. The Wind will blow some leaves and then Aluze will get up. Aluze will notice that Rofar likes the wind. The wind will blow again. You will now see Rofar talking to a Blue-Haired Swordsman and Woman Swordsman in a White Outfit. Rofar will be asking them if they think they can help him get Roy. When neither of them say anything, Rofar will then say that is what he thought and start to walk away. The Woman(Selia) will tell him to wait. Selia asks him if he is willing to die just to see this person. Rofar will not answer. Selia will then talk about the ideals of justice and that if he was innocent he would have been found innocent. The Rofar will say he has to do it for this person. The Blue-Haired Swordsman(Kashel)will ask if that is the "Distinction" that Aluze always talked about. Rofar will then get mad at Kashel. But then Rofar talks about how it has to be this way. Kashel will then tell him it's his own death and he can do it however he likes. Then Kashel will tell him that he should want to live. Rofar the goes on about how he has to help Roy for Aluze. Selia will seem sad at this. Rofar then says he has to do it no matter what. Then a message comes up on the screen telling about how Rofar can't run away from this. Rofar will now be outside the jail cell of Roy. Rofar will think about how his father's name will be corrupted in the Law. Rofar then goes on about how he and his father have a different sense of Justice. After this the screen will go blank and you will be back on the world map, but now you have Rofar in your party. Make sure that you can afford to give him a Spinning Spear(it's a nice little weapon). Anyways use your Soul Concentration. It will tell you to head to the Lab of Sarellno. --------------- Lab of Sarellno --------------- Note:I find that if Valkyrie has the Supreme Crossbow, this level is very easy. So you might want to think about buying it. Start by walking to the right. When you get to the vine, cut it and then continue walking to the right. On the next screen you will reach a Save Point, so Save the game. In this same room if you search the desk near the right you will find a book. The book just talks about the experiments they were doing. After you have done that, head back to the left and this time head down. Now, Head right and then take the second path that leads down. Now cut that vine on the left and you can find a chest that contains the skill Slanting Rain. Continue to walk all the way to the right and you will eventually find a capsule, if you search it you will find out that it contains a Strong Acid. Now this next section is a little complicated. You will notice that there are big vines that you can't cut through. You should also notice that they have flowers on them. Now in order to get through them you need to wear the corrisponding color of purfume. So just take a moment and explore this area(and kill all the monsters). Once you have done that here is a list of what you have to do: 1)Grab the Acid. 2)Go get the Red Perfume on you. 3)Go to the Red Vine in the middle(right next to the room where you can get Yellow Perfume)and then cut it down and use the Acid on it. 4)Go back and get more Acid. 5)Go get the Yellow Perfume on you(passing the Red Vine). 6)Take the path up. 7)Seach the Dead Womans body and get the Blue Purfume on you. 8)Run and take the route that leads up(it is just before the Acid Room)and then kill the blue vine and use the Acid. 9)Run back to where the Red Vine was and go get the Yellow Purfume on you. 10)Go back to where you killed the Blue Vine and this section will be finshed. After you have done that you have passed the worst part of this level. Now head all the way to the left and you can find a Icicle Edge. Now head up. Just a quick note DON'T TAKE THE SECOND ROUTE THAT LEADS DOWN! It will take you out and you will have to do this all over again. Now head all the way to the left and you can find a Element Scepter. Head back to the right and take the route up. Now head to the right and you can find the Lotus Gem. It is important that you get this. Also make sure that you have the Red Purfume on. You can get it in the same room as the Lotus Gem. Now head to the left. If you walk all the way to the left you pass under a fountain that will wash your purfume away. So what you have to do is climb the green vine that is along the wall. Take that you then you will make it to the vine. Save the game and then head to the left. You will walk in and all of a sudden a Harpy will swoop down. Valkyrie will note that it is a Harpy and then says that she will get rid of it. You will now enter a battle. At the start of the battle Valkyrie will explain about how flying creatures are hard to hit with swords. So, that is why you need skills like Throw and Wait Reaction. ----------- Boss Battle ----------- Name:Harpy HP:12000 Recommended Level:5 Attacks:Physical Reflect Sorcery Weakness:Fire EXP:7000 Strategy:This is another battle where Valkyrie is better off with a bow. Also the spell Fire Lance is really great in this battle. Just watch out for Reflect Sorcery. Anyways if you are Level 5-6 this battle should be no problem. Just attack and use your Clinchers and the battle should be over in 2-3 rounds. After you have killed the Harpy walk all the way to the left and use Crystal to jump up the left hand wall. In the Harpy's Next you can find three treasures chest. They contain the Naken:"Flame Fein", Holy Glass, and The Holy Emperess's Tiara. Once you are done with those you will get 30000 Experience Bonus. Now take the route that leads down and just walk to the left and you are done. Now use your Soul Concentration again and it will take you to head to Clairmonferan. ----------- Jake Linnas ----------- You will now be in a bar, and a man with a white shirt will then walk in. This man looks as though he has losed the use of one of his arms. The Big Man(Gunther) will notice that it is Jake. Jake will say nothing. Gunther will then talk about how it has been a long time since he has seen Jake. Gunther will then walk over to Jake and ask him what he is doing here. Gunther then talks about how they can't have a hero like Jake here and then punches Jake hard in the shoulder. Jake will then talk about how he can't run away. Now you see Jake leaveing the bar. As he does he runs into a young boy. The boy will be startled. The boy will then notice Jake is injured and apoligize. Jake will just put his hand on the boy's head. Jake will then walk off the screen. The scene then changes and you will see two men in a large circular room. Man A will say that someone he knows saw Jake Linnas in the town today. Man B will inquire about this. Man B then continues by asks if they know where he is now. Man A will say that they can find out quick enough. The scene will then change and you will see Jake standing in an old moss covered house. Jake will be talking to himself. Jake will be wondering why he came back here after what happened with the King. The scene shifts to the outside of Clairmonferan. Jake will be walking along in the dark when he notices somthing. Jake will asks who is there. You will then see somebody standing in a "Ninja-like" outfit. Jake will then pull out his gun, but when he does the "Ninja" leaves. Jake runs over and notices that he left a letter. You will then be back in the circular room. Man A will then walk up to B and tell him that they delivered the letter and that's why... Man B will wonder what he means by that. Man B will keep wondering, eventually realizing that Man A knows somthing. The scene the comes back and you see Jake walk in. Man A will greet Jake. Just as Jake walks over to Man A, two arrows come out and kill Jake. Man B shows up and the talk about how the King should be happy. The scene will then shift to the young boy sitting outside the bar. The Boy will hear two mean talking about how the Knight could never resist a fight. The Young boy will then bow his head. You will now see Valkyrie and Jake talking with each other. Jake will say that his father was talking about this. Jake will then talk about how he has no regrets what happend to the King. Valkyrie asks even if it mean his death. Jake will talk about how he was a Knight and he just couldn't make it in time to save the town. Jake then goes on talking about how 10 years ago, his father was telling him he couldn't have done anything differnt. Valkyrie will then tell him that he is weak, but for a human he isn't all that bad. You will now be on the World Map. Use your Soul Concentartion and you will be told to goto the Forgotten Caves. --------------- Forgotten Caves --------------- If you have a Dragon Slayer and the Raven Slayer, you can kill some of the enemies in here. Just make sure that you know what enemy you are fighting so you know which weapon to equip. Also if you use a Book of Refining Gold on those Birds in the long hall, you can get about 27000 Experience from that battle(which translates into about 2 levels). Now unless you have a Beast Slayer, you can't kill that monster to the left. So just leave. When you reach the World Map, use your Soul Concentration. You will then be told to goto Firan. --- Jun --- You will see a Young Woman crying in a shrine in the Rain. The Young Woman will then walk to the left where a old man is standing. The Old Man (Listed simply as a Shinto Priest) tells they young woman to go home and get some sleep. The Young Woman(Ashie) says that her brother won't be doing anything anyways. Ashie then talks about how if only her brother hadn't have gone on that Journey. The Shinto Priest will agree. You will then be in a town scene with three young man. Townsman 1 will ask about a Demon. Townsman 2 will ask where this Demon is. The Man(simply listed as "Samurai") will say that he will go. You will now be in the Demons Lair and you will see that Samurai has lost. The Demon say it was a nice try, but today isn't your day. The Samurai will then scream. You will then be back and the Shinto Priest will talk about how it was lucky the other two survived. Ashie then will tell him that she lost her brother in the process. The Shinto Priest then goes on about how he understands and about how he has always protected her. Ashie then agrees with that. The Shinto Priest says that she can come back anytime she wants. The Shinto Priest then says not to worry, her brother wont be attaked by any undead. You will be back in the Demons Lair now. Valkyrie will walk up to him. The Demon says that he will add her soul to his collection. Valkyrie will then walk forward and says "Soul? Oh, I don't have one of those..." She then takes the Demon out with one slash. You will then see the Demon flash and suddenly become the Samurai. There will then be a flashback and the Demon will be explaning to Jun that when he dies Jun will become him. Jun can't belive this and says that he won't die. The Demon will keep talking how Jun will be killed. Jun will then state that he won't die, he has to keep living. The Demon will be supprised at this. Jun says that this time he will give it all of his strength. There will be a flash of light and you will see the Demon down. Jun wonders why the Demon isn't changing into a human. The Demon then explains that he is going to change into Jun. You then see Jun tranform into the Demon. The Demon will be happy he is still alive. You will then go to the present and Jun will ask Valkyrie where the Demon is. Valkyrie will explain the Demon isn't here any more. That Jun and she got rid of it. Jun will then realize the demon took his Soul. She then tells Jun not to worry. She has his soul and she wants his help. Valkyrie keeps talking until she eventually tells Jun that he is hers now. Jun then realize that his soul is alright. You will now see the Shinto Priest and Ashie standing outside. There is now a Rainbow out too. Ashie will wonder if her brother is doing all right. She then continues say that she is alone now. The Shinto Priest will wonder why she says that. Ashie says she doesn't know why, but that is how she feels. You now have Jun. I really like Jun since his Clincher attacks 15 times (The only other that attacks more times is Bram). Anyways You will now be on the World Map. Use your Soul Concentration and you will be told to goto the Nolsof Swamp. ------------ Nolsof Swamp ------------ Start by walking to the left until you can walk up. When your on the next screen start walking to the right through the swamp. When you reach the end you will find a chest containing the Shadow Servant spell. But watch out, the chest has a trap on it. After that walk all the way to the left until you reach a new screen. You should now be near a hill with a switch-back path that leads up. Take that path to the top where you will find another Shadow Servant spell. Then go up where it will let you. You will find a Holy Crystal near the right wall. After that head down and take the path that leads to the right. Then just follow the path right until you can head down. Now just keep going left until you can head. And you will be back at the hill. The reason I had you do that is so you can gain a more Experience by killing all those monsters. Anyways work your way back to the area that you started at and this time head keep going to the left. Once you get passed the swamp you will find that you are near a place that you can go down, so do it. Once you are on this screen, just walk to the left and kill those two monsters. Then come back and go down where it will let you. On this screen walk over to the right and you will see a huge swamp. When you get near the tree Valkyrie will notice that she can cut it. Have her swing at the tree and it will fall down and create a path for you(You also get 5000 Experince Points for doing it too). So start walking along the tree and eventually you will reach a bag. When you open it, you will find that it contains the skill Charge. You will also see a path that lets you walk up, so take that path. Now that tree that you think blocking your way actually is a fake. Just Jump and you will find a path that will let you through. When you get to the other side you will find a Holy Crystal, the skill Wait Reaction, an Eye of Heaven, and last a Element Scepter. When you have all those head back to where you found the skill Charge. If you keep walking to the left you will find a path that lead down. Just go in this path and you will find a Save spot to the left. Save and go back to the screen that had the Charge Skill. Keep walking all the way to the left. Eventually you will reach a path that will let you go down(it will be just before the save point). When you take it head to the right and grab the bag, then goto the first swamp and open the chest you see. It will contain the Cure Condition skill. Now if you walk to the right you will find a chest hidden in the swamp. It contains the Naken:"Flare Baselard", which is essential if you want to beat the Dragon Zombie and don't have the Dragon Slayer. But, don't go yet. You can still find a Demon Slayer (kills anything with Demon in it's name in one hit) and a Crystal. They will both be in the swamp to the left. Anyways once you have all of those items, head back to the very first Save Point. But, this time head to the left. Keep going left until you can take a path that leads down. Now, before you walk to the left, Make sure you have the Dragon Slayer of the Naken:"Flare Baselard" equipped. Otherwise you will lose this battle. Then fall down to the left and Valkrie will automatically walk through the mud. She will come apon a Dragon Zombie. Valkyrie will wonder what the Dragon could want here. Anyways you have to take the Dragon out, so you get in a battle. ----------- Boss Battle ----------- Name:Dragon Zombie HP:18000 Recommended Level:6 Attacks:Physical Shadow Servant EXP:6000 Strategy:This is a very difficult if you do not have the Naken:"Flare Baselard" or the Dragon Slayer. Anyways if you have the Dragon Slayer it is over in one hit. If not it will take some time. And you will need to be careful since this is the first boss that can actually kill you, even if you pay attention. Then just try and get a big combo going and you will win. Also during the second round Valkyrie will tell you how to find out the enemies weakness by using the Spectecles. Anyways, just make sure you have the Dragon Slayer and this battle will be now problem. Once the battle is over continue walking throught the swamp to the right. You will come apon two chests eventually, both of them artifacts. One contains Dryaid Bark(Leave) and the other contains the Tombstone Sheet(Leave). After you have grabbed both of the treasures you will get a message saying you received 20000 Experience Points. Then just head to the right and you will find a exit that will lead you to the world map. ------ Extras ------ These are optional events you can do. You don't have to do them, but they will generally add more to the story/make you stronger/get you a better ending. ------------ Raven Slayer ------------ Head back to Clairmonferan and then go to Jakes House. It will be the 2nd or 3rd door from the left. When you enter Jake will come out and say that it looks like those two Knights forgot something. He will then hand you the Raven Slayer. A very powerful bow, that kills flying monsters instantly. -------------------- Encounter with Rucio -------------------- Head to Chevron. You will then see a Woman(Clair) walking around. She will then stop walking and then ask herself where he could be. Clair will then continue to walk. Clair stops again and says that she guesses she will go home. But, before she does she will notice Valkyrie. There will now be a flashback where you see Rucio with Clair. Clair will be asking if the kid was beautiful. Rucio will say that is a stupid question, he was 14 at the time. But, yes he did think she was beautiful. Clair then continues to inquire and Rucio says that the girl had Platinum colored hair. You will now be back in the present and Clair will note that Valkyrie has Platinum colored hair. Clair will then think that if that is the girl, she will die. You now see a Stone hit Valkyrie in the back. Valkyrie will look around to see who tossed it. Clair will then be wondering why she would throw a rock at someone. Valkyrie will then be in a house with an Old Woman(Dorthy). Dorthy will ask Valkyrie to please forgive the child. Valkyrie will wonder what she is talking about. Dorthy will say that the child who hit her with the stone has a tendacy to get angry. Valkyrie will say nothing and a child will then walk through the door. Following the Child will be Rucio, who asks how Dorthy is doing. Dorthy will say she is fine, and then says that Clair hit this Woman with a Rock. Rucio is very supprised that Clair would do that. Rucio will then walk over to Valkyrie and apoligize, saying that Clair is just like that. Rucio will then be shocked and Dorthy will ask him what is wrong. Rucio will say it is nothing. Valkyrie will then say hello to Rucio. You will now just see Valkyrie with Dorthy. Dorthy will explain about how Rucio is helping all of the children. After that you will see Rucio confront Clair about the Rock Incident. Clair will say she didn't do it but, then say that she has Platinum Hair. Rucio will understand. Now that you are done here. Just waste out the rest of the Periods. After you do that Frei will show up. ---------------- Sacred Phase 2-3 ---------------- Frei will greet you again and give you an update on the battle. Here is how my stats went. Earth God Race:23 Van God Race:31 Other:26 The results after where unchange. Anyways Frei will then let you look at any character you sent up. You can do a few things with Belinas(not really important though). After that Frei will give you 6780 Materlize Points. She then says that Odin has some items for me. Here is what I got. Element Scepter Lightning Bolt Shadow Servant Splash Cure Plums Throw Extreme Guard Blue Gray Scarf After that, Frei then continues by telling you what you need(Hint:Jake) Hero Possibility:65 Bow User Find Trap Survival After that you will be on Chapter 3. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------- 2.4)Chapter 3 ------------- Events: Path 1)Meeting with Kashel.

After you have done that use your Soul Concentration and then head to Camille Village. ------ Kashel ------ When you enter Camille Village you will notice that everyone has been turned into Stone. The camera will move to the left and eventually you will see Kashel and Selia. Selia will comment about how cruel this was. Kashel will say that Word wasn't wrong. This had to have been done by some Stone- like creature. Selia will throw out a Basilisk, Cockatrice, and then a Gorgon. Selia will then say that has to have been it. Kashel will say that it couldn't have been, since the people would have been crushed. Selia will then throw out a Medusa as a possiblity. Kashel will say that was what he was thinking. Kashel then says that they will have to get someone to help these people. Selia will agree. They then walk to the right and come across an old sword. Kashel will wonder what that sword is doing there. Kashel then walks up to the sword a grabs it. He then notice that the sword is good. Kashel then notice there is an enscription on it. Selia will come up and notice that its called Ruin Writing. Selia then walks up and note that it looks as if it could be a match for the famous Grand String. Kashel will be supprised. After that Selia will walk in the door and note that even the ruins are turned to stone. She then yells for Kashel to come quickly. Kashel will say he realize somthing. He was talking to a child who told him about how Monsters had been sealed away. Kashel then realizes this must be the place the kid was talking about. Selia won't answer. Kashel then continues that they have to go back and save the people. Selia will agree. Then a mysterious voice then start talking to Kashel. Kashel will then want the voice to come out. Selia will wonder what Kashel is doing. A flying creature will then come out and stab Kashel. As Kashel is sent flying he says that he has to protect...and then all of a sudden the bottle starts to glow. You will now see Valkyrie holding the bottle. Valkyrie asks him why he wants to save this. Kashel will be supprised it's the War Goddess Valkyrie. Kashel will then say that he feels like he is in a dream. After this he inquire as to what Valkyrie wants to say to him. Valkyrie tells him that they are going to live. Kashel will wonder about this. Valkyrie then repeats that they are going to live. You will then see Kashel disappear and Valkyrie carefully place the bottle on the ground. You will then see Selia come over and pick it up. She is supprised it isn't broken, but then feels bad for Kashel. You will now see Selia with a little girl. Selia will be talking about how she doesn't have the strength to live and that she misses him. Selia then falls down crying. You will now be back on the world map. I put Kashel in my party, since I like him. After that use your Soul Concentration and head to Firan. ------ Nanami ------ The scene will open up with a little girl sitting in a room. A Man will then be walking in the background and enters the room. The man(listed as Foster Father) will ask if Nanami is doing okay. Nanami will tell the Foster Father that he shouldn't worry about her. The Foster Father will understand and tells her that she should take a little nap. Nanami says she doesn't need to. Nanami follows up by saying that she is going to go make an errand. The Foster Father won't say anything. Nanami then says that is why her father shouldn't worry about her, she can take care of herself. You will then see Nanami praying at shrine for someone named Minaro. After that a Woman(Foster Mother) will be asking The Foster Father where Nanami went to. The Foster Father will just make a sound. The Foster Mother wonders why she would go there, she then says that Nanami should forget all of the problems she carries. The Mother then continues to worry and the Father then consuls her. You now see Nanami walking through a cave. She will be wondering about both of her parents and wonders if blood relation really makes that much of a deal. Nanami then continues to walk and says if doesn't matter to others, then why does it matter to her. She then says that she is not her fault. Nanami then says that her power is proof of that. You will then see Nanami walking to the left and then she will see a sword in a shrine. Nanami recognizes this as the God Katana "Ryu Wizard". Nanami walks up to it and the Katana starts to glow. The screen will then flash and you will see Nanami back at the shrine as she walks towards her Foster Parents. Nanami will then pull somthing out and her Foster Father will be shocked. The Foster Father will then walk over to Nanami and her Foster Mother will cry. There will be a flashback and you will see Nanami blinded from the light. Nanami will then wonder what that light was. A lifeless figure will then appear in front of the Katana. Nanami will wonder if this is really Minaro. The spirit will then move right towards Nanami as she cries. Valkyrie will then warp in and the spirit will back off. Valkyrie tells it to not bother this child, or Valkyrie will finsh it off. Nanami begs Valkyrie to stop. Valkyrie will tell Nanami that it isn't what she thinks it is. Nanami then says that she wants to end this. Valkyrie will wonder what the human ment. Nanami will say that she wants to die, but she is going to miss everyone. Nanami then starts to cry. Nanami will the go on and on about that and eventually Valkyrie will say that she understands. After that Nanami then walks past Valkryie as the screen goes blank. After that you will Valkyrie talk about how everyone walks a different path and then says that you will live once again. You will then see Nanami's sister staring at a Rainbow as the camera moves up. Now use your Soul Concentration. You will now be told to goto the Soldiers Barracks of the Calcurry Mansion. ----------------------------------------- Soldiers Barracks of the Calcurry Mansion ----------------------------------------- Start by heading to the right. Now keep heading to the right until you reach the ladder. When you reach it go all the way to the right and jump in the opening. Now take that ladder to the bottom and head to the left. You will then find two chests(they contain a Guts and an Adapt Illusion). Now go back and climb up that ladder and jump to the right. You can find an Eye of Heaven in this room. Once you have it, go back to the first Ladder and take that up. Jump to the right when you can and enter the door. Continue to the right for two rooms and eventually you will reach a door and a message will show up. The message will say that you are reaching the puzzle room of the Calcurry Mansion. And that if anytime you get stuck you can press select and it will show you a map. Also if you get stuck, a face will appear and then you can be warped back. When you are ready head to the right. This is the order you will want to follow: D,R,R,R,U,L,L,U,U,R,R,D,D,R, A few more tips. You will find that you won't be able to make jump because you are standing in the water. So stand near the edge of the box to make the jumps. Also if it won't let you go up, just re-enter the room and the puzzle will reset itself. When you finally accomplish this you will get a 20000 Experience Bonus. And you solved what is one of the worst puzzles of this game. Now that you have that continue to the right. Eventually you will reach a Save Point. Save you game and then continue to the right. When you enter Valkyrie will talk about how this is a Strange Monster. After that Valkyrie says that she will destroy it. You then enter a battle. ----------- Boss Battle ----------- Name:Chimera HP:20000 Recommended Level:9 Attacks: EXP:12600 Strategy:Cure Condition is incredibly helpful in this battle. The more people that have it the better. Since the Chimera can do all sorts of Status Conditions. Anyways if you can attack once with your entire party, you can beat this thing easily. All in all, the worst part of this battle is the start. After you beat the Chimera head to the right and you can find two chests. The contain the Geni:"Mirage Robe" and the Demon Summoning Mirror. Then you will get 50000 for doing all of this. So head back out to the World Map. Use your Soul Concentration once again and this time head to Firan. ------ Yumeru ------ The scene will open up with you seeing a "Tall" ship. The camera will then slowly move down until you see a Mermaid sitting on a piece of wrekage. The Mermaid(Yumeru) will wonder if everyone is doing okay. You will then see a two men on the ship. The man on the left will walk over. His name is Katsuo. He will say that is not good, they won't be able to make it today. The other Man(simply listed as Father Like) says that they can always make it tomorrow. Katsuo will start walking to the left and looking. The Father Figure will ask him what's wrong. Katsuo will ask him if he sees the beautiful island out there. The Father Figure will say that they are surround by water. Katsuo says that he know this. Yumeru then shouts out for them to help her. You then go back to a close-up of Yumeru as she shouts for help again. Yumeru then says if they help here she will take them to a beautiful island inhabited by Maidens. The screen will then flash and you will see Yumeru on board the ship. The Father Figure will be asking if she is all right. Yumeru says that she is. The Father Figure wants to know how she got here. Yumeru answers that she was shipwreked. The Father Figure will wonder about what happend to all the other people. Yumeru says she doesn't know. After a brief pause, The Father Figure will ask what her name is. Yumeru answers with her name. The Father Figure will tell Katsuo to go below deck. Katsuo wants to know why he needs it. The Screen will then go black for a second and when it reappears you will see Yumeru with The Father Figure. Yumeru asks if the Father Figure knows about Lapis. The Father Figure will be supprised at this. Then asks if she means the Jewel. Yumeru then says yes, but she needs some help. The Father Figure wants to know how she learned about this. Yumeru says she saw it. They go on about that and eventually the screen will go blank and Yumeru will be telling about how there is no Lapis. After that the ship will then shake. Yumeru will ask what that was. Katsuo wonders if she really wants to know, and tells them there is a Gaint Whirlpool ahead. Yumeru wonders what a Whirlpool is and Katsuo explains it to her. The screen will go black and you will see the ship in the port. Katsuo will come out and say he wants Lapis too. Yumeru wonders what he is talking about. Katsuo says the he overheard you talking to The Father Figure and says that he wants some too. Katsuo and and Yumeru will walk along the dock and then Katsuo will notice that you changed. Yumeru will thank him, but then says she hasn't changed. Katsuo will apoligize. They both then continue to walk along the dock. Yumeru will then ask Katsuo what he dreams about. Katsuo says that one day he would like to have his own ship. Just as you reach the end Katsu will stop and asks Yumeru. Yumeru will then say that she hasn't done anything. Katsu will say he knows this. The scene will change again and you will see The Father Figure and Yumeru in a room. The Father Figure will tell Yumeru that he will take her where she wants to go, but in return she has to tell him where it is. Yumeru says she doesn't have any time for this and that she needs to go return to her father. The Father Figure will ask what his name is. Yumeru will say it is Kou Riren. The Father Figure then wonders if this is the same Kou of the Koushou Army. Yumeru will ask how he knows. The Father Figure will say by the reputation. The Father Figure then says that he hate to bring you bad news but the Koushou Army was wiped out. He then goes on explaing about their defeat. You will then see Katsuo outside listening. He can't believe what his father figure is saying. And wonders about Yumeru. You will then see Yumeru and Katsuo in a room. Katsuo will say that this "Kou" isn't here. He then says that he is going. Yumeru says that she isn't. Katsuo wants to know why she is waiting for someone who will never show up. Katsuo will then wonder if Yumeru told the truth about the Lapis. Yumeru will say there never was any Lapis. Yumeru then jumps out of the window. Katsuo tells her to wait. Katsuo will be wondering where she went, and then he thinks that she might have drowened in the ocean. You will then hear a noise. Katsuo will realize that it is a Whirlpool. Katsuo then walks to the right and sees a Mermaid and wonders if it is Yumeru. Yumeru will then explain that she was never human. Katsuo will say that can't be. Yumeru tells him to hurry and get away, a Giant Whirlpool is coming. Katsuo will then walk into the water and ask if Yumeru is going to search for her father. Yumeru will say nothing and Katsuo will say that is a shock. Katsuo will then explain that she isn't strong enough. Yumeru will tell him he is wrong. She explains that she isn't going to wait for the return of her father. Katsuo will wonder what she means by this. Yumeru will then explain her mother is dead too. She then explains her mothers death and about how she had to keep up her spirits after. She then decideds that this was the only way, and realizing that she was stupid. She then goes on about how she is going to visit her mother and father. Katsuo yells for her to stop. She tells him good-bye and then swims off. You will now see a FMV of the Whirlpool forming. After that you will see a flashback of what you just saw. You now see Katsuo on the beach telling himself that he was the stupid one. Saying that he should have stopped her. Then a light will start to come out of the water and a little blue ball will float. Katsuo will wonder what it is. The game will then explain that when Mermaids die there spirits will crystalize and create the Legendary Lapis. You will then see Katsuo holding the Lapis. You will then hear Yumeru's voice asking Kastuo. He will then say to himself that he was wrong. He doesn't want a ship, he want's Yumeru Back. You then see him hold the lapis and wish that Yumeru would come back. The Lapis then glows and you will see Yumeru fall down to the bottom of the ocean, but then you hear Valkyrie talk about how the woman isn't completely dead yet. Valkyrie then grabs Yumeru and says that because of the wish she will take Yumeru to Valhalla. The Valkyrie says that she has a little time left. You then see Katsuo on the beach thinking about how he is waiting for Yumeru, but she will never come. Katsuo have another flashback and then his Father Figure come onto the beach. He asks Katsuo if that woman could have ever survived the Whirlpool. After that you will be back on the World Map. Use your Soul Concentration and head to the Forgotten Caves. --------------- Forgotten Caves --------------- A few of the monsters in this Cave are just way too strong. So just kill what you can and then get out. After this you are done with Chapter 3. So it is time to move on to Extras(and there are alot). ------ Extras ------ These are optional events you can do. You don't have to do them, but they will generally add more to the story/make you stronger/get you a better ending. ------------------------ God Katana:"Ryu Wizzard" ------------------------ Head to Firan. The go all the way to the right. You will then see Minaso near the temple. If you talk to her she will give you the God Katana:"Ryu Wizzard". This is for Mages only. It's will raise your Magic Power by 600. ---------- Lapis Ball ---------- While in Firan, go to the beaches. When you do Yumeru will come out. She will apoligize to Katsuo and then walk into the water. She will then find this. It reduces Ice Damage by 50%. ----------------- Naken:"Vain Slay" ----------------- Head to Camille Village. Take the second path that leads up. Now keep walking to the left past the Girl. You will see a Sword in a pile of dirt. Kashel will then come out and say that is his Sword and that Selia must have left it. Valkyrie says he is probably right. Kashel then says that there would be no harm in his taking it. After that you get the Sword. ----------- Cliff Caves ----------- While in Camille Village you can still do this. Just walk to the left of where you got the Naken:"Vain Slay". I have included a walkthrough of this area. Walkthrough- It is important that you have the Demon Slayer or otherwise this Boss at the end will be very difficult for you. Anyways start by walking down the stairs towards the right. Equip your Dragon Slayer and then take out that Dragon Zombie. Behind the Dragon is a chest that contains a Bastard Sword. Take that and the head all the way to the left. On the next screen, take the first door that leads up. In that room you can find the Defend Skill. After you have that head back down and to the left. Watch out for the Statue and the Eye, both of them can freeze you. In this room climb the ladder and the head to the left. You will now be in the room that Kashel and Selia were in. Once you have grabbed the Naken:"Flare Baselard", head back out and this time take the path to the left of the stairs. Now run to the right and hop over the statue. Just keep heading to the right and you will run into some Goo. Just have the Freeze Laser fire at the Goo(you can get it to do this by having a crystal reflect it). When the goo freezes swing at it. Now head to the right. In the next room take the stairs and then head to the right. You can find a War Hammer and the skill Trick Step. Now head to the left. Equip your Dragon Slayer and then take out the Dragon Zombie. After that you can find an Eye of Heaven, a book of Reduce Guard, and finally another Dragon Slayer. Head back to where you first cut through the goo.Now take the path that leads down. If you head to the left you will find more of that Goo that your sword can't cut through. So what you have to do is have that Freeze Laser reflect off of your crystal and freeze the goo. When you finally do this you will get 6000 Experience. Now if you head to the left you will find another one of these. This one is particularly hard to freeze. You have to use a couple of crystal to reflect the laser down to the goo. I found that this works best. 1)See where the Laser Shoots. 2)Put a Crystal There. 3)See where Laser is reflected too. 4)Put a Crystal there. I have found the best way to see the laser while it is firing, is to slide underneath the crystals. Anyways, once you cut through it you will get 12000 Experience. Now keep heading to the left. Run down the long flight of stairs and then put crystals at the bottom. A Laser wille eventually shoot and freeze the Goo. Slash at it and continue to the left. Make sure you have your Dragon Slayer equipped and take out the Dragon. The continue to the left. On the next screen, head to the right. Just follow the path down and eventually you will reach a Save Point. Save your game and also make sure someone has a Demon Slayer equipped. After that, then head to the right. When you enter you will see the Demon Servant that killed Kashel. Valkyrie is supprised he is alive, saying that she thought that that girl(Selia) would have killed him. The Demon Servant will say that no human can kill him. Eventually the Demon Servant will transform and you will enter battle with it. ----------- Boss Battle ----------- Name:Greater Demon HP:22000 Recommended Level:10 Attacks:Physical EXP:9100 Strategy:Just use your Demon Slayer and this battle will be over very quick. If you don't have a Demon Slayer then you will have to use Reduce Guard and then hope for the best. After the battle you can grab two artifacts. One is the Golden Chicken and the Other is the Souken:"Gran String". You will then receive 30000 Experience for doing this, and you can now leave. ------------- Bram's Castle ------------- This is the orange dot a little north of where the Dragon Palace/Firan is. I have include a walkthrough for this area: Walkthrough- Let me warn you that you have 4 minutes. Which is just about enough to accomplish everything that you will want to do. You will want to get all of the treasures(there are some good items here) and then you will want to meet with Bram. Now that we have are objectives here, lets go on. Start by walking to the right. When you get on the next screen take the path that leads up twice. Then make a left and you will be in a room that has two chests hidden by a curtain. Once is the Naken:"Moon Phalanx" and the other is the Unicorn Horn(very important, and you will see why later). After you have those walk to the right and take the first path that leads down. You will find an Ordinary Shape book in this room. Once you have this just head up. Then continue to the right until you reach another area where you can head down. Go down to that room and you will find some Bolt Sake. Then go back and to the right and take the next area that will let you down. You will then find a Beast Slayer(kills anything with Beast in its name in 1 hit). Leave this room and continue walking to the right and you will reach a flight of stairs and a place that you can go down. Take the flight of stairs to the Top and you will be able to pick up the Skill of Combo Counter(very important) and a Nightshade. Once you have those go back down the stairs and take the route that leads down. You will have to keep heading down for four times and then you will reach another corridor. If you walk to the right you will find a Save Point. If you have above 3 mintues left then I would save, if not don't save. After that head to the left. When you reach and area that you can head up do so. You will find a Cure Plums book. Leave this room and continue to the left. Head all the way to the left and you will be able to find a Naken:"Flare Baselard". After you grab that head back to the right and take the door that leads up. Head up two or three times. Now walk to the left and up that door and you will find some Plant Seeds. After you have those leave that room and continue to the right. Take the next door that leads up and in that room you will find the Skill Throw. Leave that room and continue to the right. You should reach a flight of stairs. Take the stairs up and head to the left and you will find a save point. Save and then leave that room and make a jump to the right corner. You will enter another room that has a huge monster in it. But before you go up to him, head to the room that leads up and you can find a Lapis, a War Hammer and a some Mithril Ore. Once you have those leave that room and head down. In this room you can find a Stone Touch Spell and a Zebori. Once you have those it is time to fight the Ram Guardian. This battle is incredibly difficult, if you don't have a plan. This what I do: Strategy:Make sure that your Mage has the Stone Touch spell. If you can successfully Stone the Ram Guardian it makes this much easier, if not, don't worry. He attacks about once for every three turns you have. Just use a Union Plum on the down time. Oh and yes he will kill any character in one hit. Now what you have to do is use some Good Clinchers(i.e. Valkyrie, Jun, Aluze, Rourry, Rofar) any of those will do fine. I happened to use a party of Valkyrie, Jun, Kashel and Yumeru. But, anyways after you have him Stoned, just use your Clincher moves and hope you can kill him before he kills you. One last things, he has about 27,000 DME. The most so far. Once you have him killed head back to the save point that was at the top of the stairs, and then continue left. You will then enter a room and you will see Bram sitting on a Chair. Valkyrie will level her sword at him and tell Bram to prepare himself. Bram will note that you came back to end it. Valkyrie will wonder what he means by "end it". Bram will ask Valkryie what she would be willing to make a little truce. Valkyrie wonders what Bram is talking about. Bram will explain to Valkyrie that he cannot defeat Odin. Bram will then moves with such speed towards Valkyrie that it startles her. Bram will then tell her to make her move. Bram then says that you don't have to fight. You will now get to either A)Fight Him or B)Leave. You should choose B) since you only get 700 Experience and nothing really else. The only reason you should choose A is if you want to see why he is the strongest fighter you can get. But, if you do this is what happens. Valkyrie will level her sword again and tells Bram that she will get rid of all Vampires. Bram then tells her to look up. You will then see a Woman encased in a crystal. Valkyrie will call him a Monster and swings at him. But, Bram is just too fast. You will then enter battle. Which you can't win(well you can but I didn't want to waste my time). Anyways now if you choose B) Bram will tell you that you made the right decision. Bram will then warp out. Valkyrie lowers her sword and wonders how that guy can have so much power. Then wonders about why Odin is his enemy. Anyways you will now be on the World Map. Just sleep and you can then go to the Sacred Phase. ---------------- Sacred Phase 3-4 ---------------- Frei will greet you. She will then give you the results. Here are mine. Before: Earth God Race:23 Van God Race:31 Other:26 After: Earth God Race:24(+1) Van God Race:30(-1) Other:26 Frei then asks if you want to see how your characters are doing. You can look at that(not important). After that Frei will give you 9720 Materlize Points. Frei then says that Odin has given you some items. Here is what I got: Element Scepter Icicle Gem Burn Storm Darkness Arrow(Good) Reflect Sorcery Auto Item Naken:"Flame Fein" Holy Water Acceptor Rod Frei then told me what she was looking for. Here is what I was told Hero Possibilty:80 Someone who has the upper hand in negotiations. Trick Demon Intelligence Hear Noise Frei Then Gives me a Good Luck and I was out. I typically will transfer Sherad for this one. Both She and Yumeru are pretty useless coming up, but Yumeru has more DME and that is what you need so I just get rid of Sherad. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------- 2.5)Chapter 4 ------------- Events: Path 1)Meeting with Amy.

You will be told to head to Valnova. --- Amy --- When you enter Valnova will you will see a young woman chained up in some sort of torture chamber. Amy will then apoligize to everyone, since she didn't make it. The camera will then show you the torture chamber. Valkyrie will then warp in near the door and walk down the steps and then towards Amy. Amy will wonder who Valkyrie is. Valkyrie will explain that she is someone who collects Souls. Amy then thinks that Valkyrie works for the a Death God. Amy then says that she will never die. Valkyrie notes that she sure has a loud voice, but okay. Valkyrie then leaves and the screen will go blank. When the screen comes back up you will see an Old Man and Two Soldiers near Amy. Soldier A says that Gannos is going to test a Spell on Amy. Gannos explain that his strongest spell calls apon the blood of a Dragon. Amy then wonders if Gannos is talking about the Jewel Dragon(Carbunkle). Gannos then says that you can stay down here a while longer. Gannos and the Soldiers then leave. Amy will then keep telling herself that she won't die. But then notes that she has to stop him. The Soldiers will come back and tell Amy that they will feed her now. Gannos will then go over and asks if Amy is ready to talk now. Amy will call him an asshole and then Gannos will get very upset and that he will show her. Gannos then gathers energy around him and blasts Amy. You will now see Amy with Valkyrie. Amy will ask Valkyrie if she wants her power to fight for the Gods. Amy will then say why not. Valkyrie will talk about the strength of the body and about how Amy will find out. Amy will then say that she understans. Valkyrie then asks her to join the party. After that the Valkyrie will then think that Gannos might just be useful. And then you will back on the World Map with Amy in your party. Make sure that you get a Heart Pierce for Amy. After that use your Soul Concentration and it will tell you to head to the Dark Tower of Zelva. ----------------------- The Dark Tower of Zelva ----------------------- Start walking to the right and when you reach the next room, if you climb to the top you can find an Eye of Heaven. Now, jump up and take the top right door. Now continue up the stairs to the right. After you walk up the next flight of stairs you can find a Poison Blow. Once you have that, jump to the left. Continue all the way to the left and you will eventually reach a room that contains three chests(Bastard Sword, War Hammer, Auto Item). Once you have those work your way back to the where you got the Eye of Heaven and take the second route. Head to the right and at the top of the stairs you can find a chests that contains a Hit. Now, jump to the left. When you enter the room you will notice that it is a Heart, but it is not beating. The game the recommends that you slash it. So slash it and it will start beating again. You will get a 12000 Bonus for doing that. However when you did that you also activated those jaw things in the floor. So you will have to watch out for them now. Anyways head back to the first Eye of Heaven room and take the bottom path. Now walk to the right for one screen and you will enter a fairly big room. Fall all the way to the bottom left and you can find a chest that has a Crystal in it. Now head to the top right and you can find a Mandrake. If you try to leaves this room, you see that it is blocked. So what you have to do is jump into those jaws. You will now enter a weird room. But, In this wierd room you can find an incredible weapon; The Mage Slayer. It is really hidden. But, you can find it near the left hand side, near that gray thing, but behind the Orange thing. Also right next to the Mage Slayer you can find one of the Lotus Gems(which are also very important). Once you have found both of these jump onto the Middle Gray thing and you will be taken back to that room but, this time the door will be open. So head to the right. In the next room that wall will remain there until the Eye shows up. So what you have to do is when the Eye shows up is run to the right. In the next room take the upper path that leads to the left. Head all the way left and you can find a Naken:"Flare Baselard" and some Holy Remains. Now head back to the right and this time take the bottom path that leads to the left. Head to the left for one more screen and then you will reach a room where you will have to jump from platform to platform to make it to the left. Continue to the left until you find a door that leads to the upper right. Enter the door and you can find you will find another Heart you can slash(12000 Experience) and also an Invisibility Herb. Once you have those head back out. Head to the bottom left and you can fight an Iron Golem. It has quite a bit of HP, but if you beat it you get 14000 Experience. After you have done that, open the chest and you will get a Lightning Bolt book. Now head to the top left door. In the next room you can find a Noise Arrow. After you have that fall down and head to the left. If you jump to the left you can find some Invsibility Herb and to the right you can find a Poison Blow. Once you have those, head to the bottom right. In the next room grab the Plant Seed and the Lapis, then fall to the bottom. Now just head all the way to the right until you reach the Save Point. Stop and Save your Game and make sure that you are powered up, since this next battle is not an easy one. When you walk to the right you will see a Monster that looks like an Eyeball with Snakes coming out of its head. Valkyrie will say that this Monsters looks like it is from the Princess of Hell. Valkyrie then says that she won't allow the Princess of Hell in the Human World. The Hell Servant will then talk about how get the Princess is and then calls for reinforcements. You will now enter a battle. ----------- Boss Battle ----------- Name:2x Hell Servants HP:22000 Recommended Level:11 Attacks:3x Physical EXP:28000 Strategy:At the Start of this battle Valkyrie will explain that these Monsters have the Ability of Resurrections. So in order to beat this battle you will have to take them both out in the same round. Which just makes this battle more difficult. Now here is the Strategy that I find works best. One the first round I use Clinchers to take down one of there HP to just about 2 or 3 hits. Then in the next round I do the same to the other. Then I just use Normal Attacks to take them out. By the way, it helps if you have something that prevents Faint. That way, you can always attack. Also the skill Guts is extremely helpful here. And one last thing, Magic doesn't really work on these Guys. This is probably the first Hard battle. After that tough battle you can find three Artifacts. The first is The Secret of Resurrection, the next is the Seiken:"Lost Seraphy", and the last is Snake Halbred:"Baslisk". I recommend that you take the Lost Serphay and the Baslisk. The Lost Seraphy will increase your chance of getting Mystic Gems and the Baslisk will have a 10% chance of stoning an enemy. After you decide you will get 60000 Experience for doing all of this. Now it is time to leave. You can get out quicker by falling into one of the Jaws and then take the middle gray thing. Anyways once you reach the World Map, use your Soul Concentration. You will then be told to goto the Forgotten Caves. --------------- Forgotten Caves --------------- These Monster you can kill with No Problem. Just make sure that you have your Slayer Weapons ready for the few monsters that you can only do 0-1 Damage on. Anyways just work your way through and when you can done leave. When you get to the World Map, it's time to use your Soul Concentration. You will be told to goto Saxxs Den. --------- Saxxs Den --------- Start by heading to the left and you will walk down a long hill. In the next room jump over the water and continue to head to the left. Quick Note, equip your Dragon Slayer before you attack the dragon that you see in the water. Anyways use hop the platforms in the water to keep going to the left until you reach the next room. In the next room take the route that leads up and you will be able to grab a Eye of Heaven. Now take the route that leads down. When you reach the next room go all the way to the left and then slide. You will be able to get a chest that has the Skill Strike Edge. Then take the route that leads down. Now head down into the water and swing your sword at the plant that is under the water. The top of the plant will then float. Now make a Hard Crystal and toss it in the water. Then what you need to do is jump from the Crystal to the Plant and then to the right(Or you can just jump on the plant before it rises). After you cross you will reach a Save Point(so Save). If you walk to the left you will see the Body and Soul of a dead Priest. Talk to the Soul and he will tell you that you will need the get rid of the Water Gate Seal inorder to clear the Water Gate. If you talk to the body you will find out that this guy was a Magician from Flansburg. Anyways continue to the right. When you reach a wall there will be a route that leads down near it, so take it. Anyways go underwater and walk all the way to the left. Cut that plant and hop on to it before it rises. Then just take the exit to the left. Now fall down into the pool of water and take the route that leads down. Work your way through the underwater cave to the left and you will be able to find a Naken:"Flare Baslard". After you have that go back and this time work your way up and to the left. Now when you have a choice of a high road or low road take the low road first. When you enter the room you should see a Water fall and an Orb behind it. Shoot your Crystal at the Orb and you will get 2000 Bonus Experience. Then go back and take the high road. Now just press O at the little stand and you will then see a FMV scene of how the Water Gate closed. Then just fall down that hole in the ground and head to the left. Continue walking until to the left and you will reach a Save Point. Save your game and then head to the left and fall down. You will see a room that has a huge glowing Pentagram on it. Valkyrie will wonder if this is causing the trouble. Valkyrie will then realize that she will have to destroy the seal. She then surround herself with energy and thinks for a moment. Valkyrie will then destroy the Seal, but the entire building is shaking now. Valkyrie will wonder what is going on. A monster will then break through the wall and attack. ----------- Boss Battle ----------- Name: Kraken 3x Crab Servants HP: Kraken:24000 Crab Servants:1000 Recommended Level:18 Attacks: Kraken:Lightning Bolt, Wiping Fire, Crab Servants:Physical Weaknesses: Kraken:Poison, Crab Servants:Fire, EXP:25500 Strategy:Valkyrie will explain the whole damage system before this battle starts. Anyways this battle was easy for me. If you already went through the Forgotten Caves you have already fought the Kraken. You will need to watch out for the Kraken. Since it can do quite a bit of damage. Also if you have the spell Poison Blow, when you use that it does a lot of damage too. Anyways just use normal attacks on the Crab Servants and then use Clinchers on the Kraken. After the battle you can grab two artifacts. The Bracelet of Life and the Coin of Fortune. After you have those you will get a message telling you got 60000 Bonus Experience. Once you have that leave the Saxxs Den. Oh and if on the way out you tell the Magician that you closed the seal, you will get another 500 Experience. Once you get out, Use your Soul Concentration and it will tell you to head to Flansburg. ------------------------- The Tower of Rezard Valis ------------------------- The scene will open up with a Man in Black with a Blue Cape, and a Frankstein-like Monster carrying a woman are running. The Frankstein(his name is Beleon) will ask Master Rezard what they are going to do about the people following them. Rezard (my favorite character) will tell Beleon not to worry. Rezard the tells him to go on ahead. Beleon then say that he will. Rezard will then surround him self with energy and his Character Voice will the recite a spell. After a monster the Dragon Tooth Warrior will appear to stop the two people approaching. Rezard will say that this should be able to hold you. A Harpy will then appear and Rezard will jump on its back. He then tells the Elves that this is the end of the Play. One of the Elves will tell Rezard to wait. The Harpy then flies away. The scene will shift to that of a Dungeon and you will see the woman from before, chained up. Beleon will come in and say that Master Rezard told him to guard the woman. Beleon will start walking down the stair and then a light comes from the woman. Beleon wonders what is going on. The Woman will then think that she has to break these chains. Beleon will walk towards as the woman says she almost has it. Beleon will then grab his head and shout out in pain. Beleon then grabs the woman and the woman thinks that Beleon has quite a grip. However the both sizzle with electricity and are thrown to the floor. Beleon is knocked out, so the woman gets up to leave, but Rezard is already at the door. Rezard will note what good timing he has. Rezard will then tell the girl that was really clever. But, Rezard then goes on to explain that Beleon is a Homosclosus(I wish I could make that in to a more Latin term, but it's good enough)which is a Man Made body. The Elf will wonder about that. Rezard will then say that her face is really too pale, and the guesses it must be his Charm. Rezard then continues to explain that a Homosclosus is just a Human Body and a Soul. He then continues to say that it is regretable that he lost Beleon. So that's why he hopes that she will particpate. The Elf wonders what he is talking about. Rezard then says all he was suggesting was transforming her. But, Rezard goes on to say the Humans and Elves he uses are kind of like cotton. Rezard(laughing)then says that Beleon is a different case then her. Rezard tells a joke that comes out somthing like Cotton is the Partner to Cotton. The Elf then tells him to goto hell. Rezard will note that his Cotton is unhappy. Rezard then talks about the Knowledge of the Gods. The Elf will be shocked. Rezard will then notices that, that got her attention. Rezard will then say that he holds the "Sage Stone", and says that natually she should know about it. The Elf will wonder about the Sage Stone. Rezard then goes on to say that having so much knowledge didn't come easy to him. He goes on to say that he had to search all of the world, and now it is his. The Elf will call him a Devil. Rezard will grab the Elf and then tells his Cotton to stop that. Rezard then lets go of the Elf and talks about how he is the first to accomplish this and about he can have everything he wants. Rezard then goes on to say that they can do nothing to stop him. You will then hear Rezard talk about how the elves all remeber the Knowledge. The scene will now be changed to that of a party. A Student will be comment about the Party. The Principal(Rolenta) will that the student. Rolenta then says that she wished Meltina was her. The Student will agree. You will now see Rolenta walking through the streets late at night. She will be wondering when this person gets up. Rolenta will then comment that she found it. She then walks up to the house. Rolenta will wonder if this person is lonely. Rolenta will walk up to the door, but a cat will soon follow. Rolenta walks over to the cat and wonders what it is doing here. The cats eyes will then flash red and the cat will then speak. The cat will bring a message from Rezard Valis that says to come to the tower, I have someone, etc. Rolenta will be shocked and then wonder about this Rezard Valis, then realizing who he is. You will now see the Cat and Rolenta at the Tower, with Rezard and a body near him. Rezard will greet his Master. Rolenta will wonder why he harmed this person body. Rolenta then wonders how he can do such a thing, saying that she revived him. Rezard will wonder what she ment by revived. Rezard will talk about his time in school, and about the past. Rolenta will then tell him he is wrong, and wonders why he did this. Rezard will talk about his partners, and then talks about the timing. Rolenta wonders what he is talking about. Rezard then says that he is going to feel sad but, die. Rezard then powers up a spell as Rolenta will say that he should think this through. Rezard will then disappear in a red star. Rolenta will note that he used Telportation, and then wonders how he ever gain so much power. She then wonder why he choose this path. The rains will then start to fall. Rolenta walks over to the body and asks if he is okay. The Man (simply knowen as Betrothed) notices that it is Rolenta. Rolenta says that she is here and not to worry. The Betrothed then tells her that his body is going to change, because of somthing that man did. His body will the start to flash. The Betrothed keeps talking about his body changing. Rolenta will aplogize saying that she couldn't do anything. His body keeps flashing and Rolenta says that she is sorry. The man then says that you should kill him. Rolenta say that she can't do that. The screen will then flash. You will now see Rezard in his lab. He will talk about how he can feel the Undead Moving. Rezard then continues by say that he will make that Woman feel true insanity. Rezard continues by saying that Valkyrie should hurry can come. You will now see A Giant Monster that has Rolenta by the neck. Rolenta will be saying that she loved him. The screen will then flash red and the head of the monster will come off. You will see Valkyrie warp in and take the Soul of Rolenta and then take the steps down... First thing you need to do is Save. This is your first big maze. Also replace your Mage with Rolenta. The reason why is that she comes with a spell that makes this dungeon a breeze; The Cross Airrade. This spell will help you get through the dungeon until you can get make a better spell; Prismic Missle. Anyways start by heading up the door that is right next to the Save Point. Then head into the Elevator. Get off at the first stop of the elevator and head up. Now if you head to the left you can fight a Manticore. Do this to gain experience then walk all the way to the right and take the path leading down. Now walk to the left for two screens and then take the path that leads up. Walk to the right and you will find a Manticore, kill it and continue to the right. If you keep walking to the right you will reach a chest that had a Writings of the Immortals in it. After you have that head back to the room with the elevator and then head down. Take the next exit on the elevator and then take the door down. Just take the path that leads around(this is just to gain Experience). After you have done that head back to the Save Point. Now head to the left and take the door that is on the next screen and then take the elevator. Get off at the first location and you can find two treasure chests. One conatains a War Hammer(Poison Arrow Trap) and an Eye of Heaven(Explosion Trap). Once you have those get back on the Elevator and take it to the next stop. Take the door that leads down and the first head to the right to pick up the Skill Splash. Once you have that equip your Dragon Slayer and kill the Dragon Zombie. Then head to the left and take the door. Now head to the right. Keep heading to the right until you take the stairs down. Then start going to the left. Go past the first door you see and take the second. Continue heading to the right until you can take a route that leads down. Now start heading to the left and you will reach a Manticore. Kill it, and then take the two chests behind it. One is a Nightshade(Poison Arrow Trap) and the other is the spell Cool Dazzel. After you have both of those take the passage that you saw earlier and passed by . Head into the Elevator and take it down. Get off at the first stop and head to the left. Equip your Dragon Slayer and then kill the 2 Dragon Zombies. Go past where the Dragon Zombies where and you will be able to find a chest that contains The Teaching of Asa. After you have that head to the right. Now go up and kill that Manticore and continue to the left and take the door that leads up. Now walk to the right. Now keep walking to the right and enter the door. Walk up to the top of the stairs, kill the Manticore, and then continue walking to the left. You will now be in a room that has a Female Statue holding a crystal. Slash at the crystal and it will light up. You will also get a 12000 Experience Bonus for doing this. Now head back to where you went to the right and this time goto the left. Head through the door and in the next room walk up the stairs to the left. Take the route that leads down and you will eventually reach a Save Point. Save the game and then head to the right of that room. You will then find 3 treasure chests that contain the Skill;Dancing Sword, Lapis and somthing eles(I forgot). Anyways once you have those head back out and continue left down the stairs. Enter the door and then head once again to the left. Now equip your Dragon Slayer and kill the Dragon Zombie, and then head to the right. You will then have to slash at the crystal again to make it glow, and when you do you will get a 12000 Experience Bonus. After that head back to where the Elevator was but, this time there will be a pentagram where the Manticore was standing. It will ask you if you want to warp, so just choose the top answer. This will warp you to a new area. Walk to the right for two screen and then take the stairs that lead up. Now walk to the left for two screens and you will be in a room that has three treasure chests. The first conatins the Transformation Gem, the other has an Ether Scepter and the last contains the Timer Ring. Now that you have the Transformation Gem this dungeon is a breeze(if you were playing in Normal). But, Because we are in Hard we can't get an Orihalcon just yet. So that just makes the Dungeon that much tougher. Since you can't make any good items with just the Transformation Gem, I will continue. Once you are done with those items, head to the Save Point that was near the two crystal statues. There will be a warp by it. Save your game and then head into the warp. You will now be in a room that has two chests on the right. Take the chests and then head to the left. Rezard will welcome the Goddess Valkyrie. He will say that it looks like you have backed him up into a corner. Valkyrie will walk towards him and Rezard will be talking about how many months has he waited to become the smartest. Rezard will then says that Valkyrie looks very lovely. Rezard will then cast a spell that makes him disappear. Valkyrie will notice that he is Teleporting and in shock wonders how he can use that spell. Rezard then says that in time Valkyrie and he will be the same. Rezard talks about how he plans to use peoples spirits to make himself a God. Valkyrie will be speechless at this. Rezard then repeats himself and says that he has a weapon for this too. Rezard the reappears farther away from Valkyrie. He asks Valkyrie is an Elf can become a God then he should be able to too. He then tells Valkyrie that he will be that same as her. Valkyrie asks if he really thinks that all this can work. Rezard says that he understands. Valkyrie then goes on to say that she won't allow him to turn anymore Souls into Homosclosus and harm Elves. Rezard will say that Valkyrie is observant and says that one day they will be the same. Valkyrie will say that Rezard is insane and that she will have to kill him. Rezard then disappears as Valkyrie tries to Slash at him, but Valkyrie was actually aiming at the tank that had the Elf Girl in it. The tank will then drain out. Rezard will then say that it looks like he will have to use some of his abilities. You then get in a fight. ----------- Boss Battle ----------- Name: Rezard Valis 2x Dragon Tooth Warrior HP: Rezard Valis:10000 Dragon Tooth Warrior:14000 Recommended Level:21 Attacks: Rezard Valis:Celestial Astral, Meteo Swarm, Prismic Missle, Cool Dazzel Dragon Tooth Warrior:Advance Sword X, Posses Weakness: Dragon Tooth Warrior:Holy, EXP:0 Strategy:This Boss battle is much Harder in Hard. You won't have the Advantage of being able to Celestial Astral/Meteo Swarm everything. So what you have to do is use Clinchers and take out the Dragon Tooth Warriors first. The work on Rezard. The problem is, that Rezard can now kill you with his Celestial Astral. So you have to be careful of it. If you want, you can use the Dragon Slayer to take out both of the Warriors quickly. Anyways much tougher than in Normal. After the battle Rezard will start to teleport and as he does he tells you that he looks forward to meeting you again. Valkyrie will tell him not to run away and then asks him again if he really thinks that Gods and Humans can be the same and as that they can't. Rezard will say that was an interesting thought. Then he tells Valkyrie one day He and she will exsist in the same as the same. Valkyrie then says that they can never be the same since Odin is their Father(Not Father in that since, but closer to meaning leader). Rezard then says who knows, one day they might fall in love. Valkyrie will tell him that he is disgusting. Rezard will then say that he will see her later. The screen will go blank and Valkyrie thinks about that comment about Rezard and Valkyrie one day them being the same. Valkyrie will now walk into a place that has tons of people in capsules. Valkyrie will wonder what this place is. She will then wonder how that man could have done this. Valkyrie then goes up and starts breaking the Capsules. Valkyrie will break to of them and just as she is about to smash the third one she sees somthing and notices that it is a child. Valkyrie then wonders why... You will now be on the world map and have finshed everything that you can do in this chapter. Now just sleep for the rest of the time(or if you are more productive than I am, go into The Tower of Rezard Valis and gain some more levels). Anyways Frei will then come and greet you. ---------------- Sacred Phase 4-5 ---------------- Frei greets you and then gives you the results of how the battle is doing. Here are my results. Before: Earth God Race:24 Van God Race:30 Other:26 After: Earth God Race:26(+2) Van God Race:30(0) Other:24(-2) Frei then asks if you want to see how your characters are doing.

Here is what I got: Ether Scepter Cross Airrade Resist Damage Evoke Feather Bracelet of Life Spell Reinforce Concentration Coin of Fortune Frei then told me what she was looking for. Here is what I was told: Hero Possibilty:90 A Clever Genius A Hero that can Swim March Attack Power Resist Damage Defend After that Frei then gave me a Good luck. And this time it will tell you to put in Disc 2. Now in Hard Mode you get to see a Picture of Aluze as you change CD's.
