INTRO/UPDATES ---------------- INTRODUCTION ------------ You have indeed picked an excellent game in Evolution. The first RPG for the Dreamcast, it was certainly worth the wait; packed full of exploring and fun. But enough, no need to write a review for it here. This is the first full walkthrough I've ever written for an RPG, and I have to say, it's a lot of hard work! Well, thanks for using my walkthrough, I hope it helps you. UPDATES ------- V. 1.2 -- 6/28/00 -- This is the final version. I know it's still not complete, so don't email me complaining! In this version I just updated the copyright date, changed the text in the legal info slightly, and updated my email address (although I may not be able to help people with questions much, since I haven't played the game in awhile.) V. 1.1 -- 1/13/00 -- Some minor updates on the item list (armor and weapons) and the walkthrough. Also added one skill for Pepper and one enemy I missed in the Blind Ruins. The rest is going to have to be delayed even longer because there was a death in my family and I haven't had the time to work on it. V. 1.0 -- 1/7/00 -- Created walkthrough. It isn't fully complete yet, but I had to get it up anyway. I apologize for any trouble it may cause, and will get it finished as soon as possible. (In a day or two) _________________________ II. PLAYING THE GAME/ETC. ------------------------- CONTROLS -------- The default controls are as follows: D-Pad/Analog - Move/Switch Between Characters in Menus A - Confirm/Enter B - Cancel X - Menu Y - Walk/Arrange Items A+B+X+Y+START - Soft Reset The controls can be changed in the config menu. THE MENU -------- The menu can be accessed by hitting the X button (unless you change it in the config menu.) ITEM - Use/Throw away items EQUIP - Equip weapons/armor/cyframe parts SKILL - Shows skills; you can master them from the menu if you have enough TP STATUS - Shows statistics of your characters (i.e. HP, FP, Attack) and your level/experience information. PARTY - Allows you to make changes to your party FORMATION - Change where your characters stand in battle DISPERSE - Make one member leave to make room for another CONFIG - Allows you to change game settings SOUND - Stereo/Mono SPEED - Changes message display speed CONTROLLER - Make changes to the controls In the Equip, Skill, and Status menus, switch between characters by hitting right or left on the d-pad or moving the analog stick right or left. BATTLE ------ While exploring ruins, you will run into monsters you have to battle. If you attack the enemy from behind without them seeing you, you will get a surprise attack on the enemy and will be able to get in several turns before the enemy. If you meet the enemy head on, you'll have a normal battle. If the enemy attacks you from behind, they'll get a surprise attack against you and get many turns in before you. The icons on the right display the order of turns. Battle Menu ----------- Attack - Attack the enemy with weapon/cyframe Special - Use/Master a skill Item - Use an item Move - Move forward or backward (NOTE: The farther back, yoou are, the higher your defense but lower your attack and the closer you are to the front, the higher your attack and lower your defense. It's usually best to stay in the middle.) Defend - Wait in defensive position to reduce damage from enemy Flee - Escape from battle (all characters must be in the back row) ELEMENTS -------- The elements include fire, ice, and lightning. Attacking an enemy who is weak against a certain element with that element will inflict more damage than normal. What element an enemy is weak against depends on what they're strong against. Strong vs. | Weak vs. --------------------- Ice | Fire Fire | Ice Fire & Ice | Lightning STATUS CHANGES -------------- Status changes are caused by certain enemy attacks and limit or hurt the character they are inflicted on in some way during battle. Status Change | Effect ----------------------------------------- Berserk | Character attacks every turn for more damage than normal Blind | Hits and Evasion lowered Blocked | Can't use skills Brainwashing | Controlled by enemy (will recover if attacked) Confusion | Attacks random targets including friends Cursed | Luck and Agility lowered Fallen | Can't do anything in battle (occurs when HP reaches 0) Paralysis | Can't move until recovered Poison | Damages character every turn Recovering | Heals character every turn Sleep | Can't move until woken up (will wake up if attacked) SKILLS/TP --------- Each character has different skills they can learn by earning enough TP. Using them costs FP, which can be regained by attacking in battle. Cyframe users can learn different abilities for each cyframe part (besides stat boosting parts.) You can master a skill from the skills menu or in battle. If you master it in battle, you will use the skill without using any FP. You gain TP by defeating enemies and winning battles. LEVELING UP/EXPERIENCE ---------------------- After each battle, you gain a certain amount of experience points depending on what monsters you defeated, how many there were, and how strong they were. Once you gain enough experience, you go up in level. This raises your stats, thus making you stronger. You should fight every enemy to be sure you're strong enough to survive. THE LAUNCHER FAMILY'S DEBT -------------------------- The Launcher family owes a lot of money to the Society, so Mag has to find treasures in the ruins to pay off the debt. Some of the money will automatically be used to pay off part of the debt after you finish an assignment from the Society. You can use your own money to pay toward the debt also, but it's not neccessary except to pay any fees for being saved by the Society you might have, so if you don't feel like fighting a lot of enemies, don't avoid them, just take a break. DUNGEONS -------- Throughout the game, you'll visit different ruins where you'll fight monsters and seek out treasure. The layout, treasures, and monsters are all random. As you walk through the ruins, you'll automatically create a map. On the map, white squares represent treasure chests and red squares represent monsters. Green squares represent traps, but will only appear if you use a trap search item. You'll want to avoid the traps on the ground (where part of the floor comes up.) However, even if you step on a trap on accident, some of the traps are good and restore HP or FP. At the end of each dungeon, you will fight a boss who holds a treasure that you can trade in at the Society for money to pay off the Launcher family's debt and a portion of it to keep. To stay at a high enough level to survive, you should fight every monster. If all of your characters' HP reach zero, the Society will come and save you, but you'll lose any items you got and they will add a small fee to your debt. When you reach the end of a floor (usually stairs,) you will be given the option to go to the next floor or 'pause' your game. 'Pausing' your game makes a temporary save file at that point in the dungeon so that you can stop playing for awhile without having to start the dungeon all over again which will be deleted once you load it. The amount of floors in the ruins depends on how many ruins you have explored. In each dungeon there are warps back to the Society scattered about that are also marked with white squares. Once you reach the bottom floor of a dungeon, the Society can't come and save you, but there is always a save point and a warp back to the Society and there are no monsters except for the boss. Sometimes you'll find yourself in a room with tons of monsters where the music changes. As much as you'd like to just avoid them, you really should defeat ALL of the monsters! TYPES OF TRAPS -------------- - Restores 50% of HP - Restores 50% of FP - Reduces FP - Erases Map - Damages All Characters by Fire - Confuses Characters - Blinds Characters - Alarms Enemies - Makes Enemy Appear - Makes All Enemies on floor Stronger - Makes All Enemies on floor Weaker - Takes an item out of your inventory and puts it in a chest on that floor - Warps you somewhere else on that floor - Raises one stat by 1 - Makes all monsters on that floor disappear APPRAISAL ITEMS --------------- Some of the items you find in treasure chests throughout the ruins are items that need to be appraised at the Society by talking to Nop (the man at the left counter.) He will pay you for some of the items, and for others charge you to make them into items. ITEM SHOP/CYFRAME UPGRADING --------------------------- You can go to the item shop near the Society to buy items and equipment to use on your adventures. Every time you explore some ruins, more items are added to the item shop, so visit often to be well equipped and prepared. In the building right next to the item shop is Sam the Upgrader, who will upgrade your cyframes. If you have an Upgrade Kit, he can add a slot to your cyframe for 1000 gold. He can also level up your cyframe parts to make them stronger and slightly reduce the cost of FP for each ability of the upgraded part. CHARACTERS ---------- MAG LAUNCHER Son of the famous adventurer, Asroc Launcher and the main character of Evolution. Made a promise to protect his adventuring partner, Linear, who mysteriously showed up one day with a letter from Mag's father. Mag is always in the party. Uses a hand-type cyframe. LINEAR CANNON A shy, mysterious girl who showed up at the door of the Launcher residence with a letter from Asroc Launcher telling Mag to watch over her until he returns. Linear is always in the party for most of the game. GRE NADE The Launcher family's servant and Mag's guardian while his father is away. He makes a good companion as he is powerful and has many useful abilities. Gre will join your party if you talk to him at the Launcher residence. CHAIN GUN Only child of the Gun family, the Launcher family's rivals. She likes Mag and is jealous of Linear. She has a very large variety of attacking abilities. She will join you if you talk to her in the blue bus outside the area of the Launcher residence. Uses a sword-type cyframe. PEPPER BOX A wandering adventurer who shows up after Mag's first successful assignment. She has a variety of abilities, including status changing attacks. She will join you if you talk to her in the saloon after meeting her at the Society. Uses a cannon-type cyframe.

WALKTHROUGH ---------------- WALKTHROUGH ----------- You start off in a battle against two monsters. You can easily beat them by simply attacking. After you win, you will receive a Naolin and a Naolin Gold. The game controls itself for awhile after this battle. During this time, you'll meet Chain Gun, an adventure of the Launcher family's rivals' family, who made it to the treasure before Mag. Once you have control of your character, leave the Launcher residence and make your way back to the Society in town. Talk to Nina (the woman at the left counter) and ask for an assignment. Choose whatever ruins you want to go to (the Blind Ruins are the easiest to start out with.) After you have your assignment, get a third party member (Chain in the blue bus right outside the area of the Launcher residence or Gre in the Launcher residence.) Then head to the Sea Otter seaplane by taking the other path in the area of the Launcher residence and you can fly to whatever ruins you chose. (See the Ruins section below for info on the ruins.) After you beat the first ruins, you will earn 10,000 gold, 8,000 toward the debt and 2000 for yourself. Appraise any appraisal items you found in the ruins by talking Nop at the left counter. Now you can take your earnings and buy new equipment/items and upgrade your cyframe (if you want to update Chain or Pepper's cyframe, wait until before your next assignment.) Head back to the Launcher residence and Gre will ask you if you'd like to retire for the evening. Answer yes. The next morning, Gre will tell Mag that someone from the 8th Imperial Army came to see him to ask about the legendary cyframe, Evolutia. Gre tells Mag that they are waiting for him at Pannam Port. Exit the Launcher residence and you will automatically be taken to the port. When you arrive at the port, you will see the giant ship of the 8th Imperial Army. Walk up and talk to the sailor by the lift and he'll let you ride up into the ship. Follow the path straight. Don't bother with any of the side doors, there aren't any items or anything. Eventually you'll reach a staircase where you'll be stopped. Mag tells the man who he is and you are shown up the stairs to meet Prince Eugene. Eugene will have a little 'misunderstanding' about why there are two people, and then you'll have control over Mag again. Go up to Eugene and talk to him. Mag and Eugene will have a chat about Evolutia, then you will be rudely told to leave. Just go back out the way you came. The next morning, Gre and Mag will talk some more, and then it will be time to go out for some more adventuring! Go to the Society; when you enter, you'll meet Pepper. After she leaves, talk to Nina for a new assignment. One area will be blockaded by the 8th Imperial Army, so you'll have to pick from the other three. After getting an assignment, get a third character (you can have Pepper in your party now, she's at the saloon.) Now head the the Sea Otter and fly to the ruins you chose. (See Ruins section for more info.) After the second ruins, you will earn 20,000 gold, 4,000 for yourself. Appraise any items you found, buy items/upgrade cyframes in town then head back to the Launcher residence and 'call it a day' (option 2.) Once you have control over Mag again, head back to the Society, get another assignment, get a third party member, buy/upgrade whatever you want in town then go to the next ruins in the Sea Otter airplane. (See 'Ruins' section below.) Your earnings for this assignment will be 30,000 gold and you'll be able to keep 6,000. Appraise whatever items you need to, buy stuff, and upgrade your cyframes then head back to the Launcher residence. Mag and Gre will talk for awhile again. In the morning, Eugene pays Mag a visit and they have a talk for awhile, until Eugene finds out that Linear is not in the Launcher family by blood and leaves suddenly giving the order to get the girl, Linear. After that's all over, it's time for some more ruin exploring. Go to the Society for an assignment, get your third character, make any preparations you need, and hop into the seaplane to the last remaining unblockaded ruins. RUINS ----- Blind Ruins ----------- These are the easiest ruins to start out with. REMEMBER: To be strong enough to survive, always fight ALL of the enemies. Enemies (see enemy list for more info): Big Ben Hydra Paleo Calinoides Popo Tribesman Spekler Teio Roach Terapede BOSS: Mandasks (See 'Bosses' below for strategy) Heaven Ruins ------------ These are, in my opinion, the second easiest ruins. Not much to say, but remember to fight all of the enemies. Enemies (see enemy list for more info): Big Ben Claymore Millepede Peripatus Protocalus Spekler Teio Roach BOSS: Rafflesian NOTE: Before fighting the boss, put everyone in the back row. Shades Ruins ------------ Most of the enemies here are weak against fire. Don't forget to explore each level completely. Enemies (see enemy list for more info): Archaeopteryx Bacterio Brummbar Crinoid Gumbas Hyenodon Paleo Calinoides BOSS: Shadenischus BOSSES ------ BLIND RUINS - MANDASKS If Mag has Magna Rave have him use it continuously, otherwise use Magna Combo. If he runs out of FP, have him use regular attacks. Linear should use Protection Spell right away; after that she should heal your characters when neccessary, and when they don't need it she should just attack. You may also want to use her Strenth Spell. If Gre has Energy-Saving, have him use it on Mag. Other than that, just have him attack. Pepper and Chain should use regular attacks and/or attacking skills. Mandasks will sometimes paralyze you, but it usually heals automatically after one or two turns. If your characters desperately need to be healed, but Linear's turn isn't soon enough or she is paralyzed, have Gre, Pepper, or Chain use healing items. HEAVEN RUINS - RAFFLESIAN **STRATEGY ONE** Put everyone in the back row before starting the battle. Rafflesian will suck all of your characters forward one rank periodically throughout the battle. DO NOT let any of your characters stay in the front row, because Rafflesian will do a VERY powerful attack on one of them. Have Mag use Magna Rave if he has it; if not, use Magna Combo. If he starts to run low on FP have him attack regularly. Have Linear cast spells to raise your party's defense and attack and anything else if you like, and also have her heal when neccessary. If she's not doing anything else, have her use regular attacks to regain her FP. If Gre has Energy-Saving, have him use it on Mag (especially if Mag is using Magna Rave.) Other than that, Gre should just attack or use healing items if neccessary. If Pepper has Trigger Happy (or Pepper Flash), have her use that and after that just have her attack and use healing items when needed. If she doesn't have it, have her use a combination of regular attacks and attacking skills. Have Chain use a combination of regular attacks and attacking skills and also healing items when neccessary. Be warned: Rafflesian has a good curing skill so take him out as quickly as you can. **STRATEGY TWO** If the first strategy is giving you trouble, just do the same thing except allow Rafflesian to suck you in and do his powerful attack. After he does the attack again someone, have Linear use a cure spell on them or have her or someone else use a curative item on them. SHADES RUINS - Shadenischus Shadenischus uses a strategy similar to Refflesian, except he pushes you toward the back and then does a really powerful ice laser against everyone in the back row. I suggest you stay AWAY from the back row, because unlike Rafflesian's attack, this attack hits the whole rank (Mag's Moving Hand Parts may come in handy here.) Use the usual basic strategy; if Mag has Magna Rave, he should use it and if not, he should use Magna Combo (regular attacks if he runs out of FP.) Linear should use Protection Spell and should also heal your characters when necessary, with maybe a regular attack here and there to regain her FP. If Gre has Energy-Saving, have him use it on Mag and other than that he should use regular attacks and curative items when needed. Chain and Pepper should go all out with their most powerful skills but also use regular attacks once in awhile to restore FP. If Pepper has Trigger Happy or Pepper Flash, you may want to have her use that and then just use regular attacks. Having to move forward all the time may make this battle seem somewhat challenging, but Shadenischus isn't really the hardest of the bosses. _________ IV.

OTHER -------- HINTS AND TIPS -------------- - Try to fight all the enemies so you'll be strong enough to survive - Search every floor completely! Check all the treasure chests - ALWAYS save the game at the end of each dungeon before the boss - Don't constantly rely on skills during regular battles; attack normally a lot so you won't run low on FP - Try to save a few poison preventing accessories 'til the end if you can, because it will help a lot in the final battle - If you find that you aren't strong enough to beat the boss at the end of a dungeon, go back to town then return to the ruins. You'll be able to choose which floor to start on; start a few floors below the last one so you can build up a bit before fighting the boss. - Don't forget to return everyone to their original ranks after fighting Rafflesian - If you step on a trap that confuses your characters, just hold still and after a bit you will be cured automatically LEGAL INFORMATION ----------------- This walkthrough is Copyright (c) 2000 Strife132.
