Introduction I bought Breath of Fire III on a whim, and it turned out to be one of my favorite RPG's I ever played. This game is long and intriguing and stuffed in one CD. But it manages to have you play it for over 60 hours until you finally beat it. I admit some parts of this game is very tricky, and hopefully my 3 year late FAQ will help those who bought the sequel and went back to get this one! Huge and Massive spoilers are going throughout the guide. I do NOT warn about spoilers. So if you are spoiled then that is your own problem. I'm sorry but if you need to look at a guide you take a high risk of being spoiled. To find exactly what you are looking for press Ctrl + F and type in the place or name you are looking for. This way you avoid any chance of being spoiled Dyson +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ III: Game Controls ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Controls: Directional Button: Title Screen: Highlight Menu Item World Map: Move character around World Map Area Map: Move character in 8 directions Sub-Screen: Move Cursor to menu item Fighting screen: Move Cursor to menu item --------------- /_\ (Triangle) Button Title Screen: Step back from Memory Card entry (Load Game only) Area Map: Use Weapon (Cancel Selections) Sub-Screen: Cancels Selections Fighting Screen: Cancels Selection --------------- X (Cross) Button Title Screen: Selects New Game/Load Game World Map: Makes Selection Area Map: Make Selection, Speak, and Investigate Sub Screen: Makes Selection Fighting Screen: Makes Selection --------------- O (Circle) Button World Map: Run/Walk Area Map: Run/Walk --------------- _ |_| (Square) Button World Map: Opens Sub-Screen Area Map: Opens Sub Screen --------------- R1 Button: World Map: Changes Perspective Area Map: Changes Perspective.

But for the Guide's sake we will call him Dyse. Set all the other variables to your liking and then go to quit. When the game starts Mogu and Gary will be looking at a frozen dragon inside of a huge chrysm. They will have explosive tied to it they would ignite these. They will think the dragon is dead but it turns out he is not! Now, you will be in a battle use Whelp Breath on both of them. Then check the one on the right for a Melted Blade. Now go down then make a right then go up. When you reach the fork make a right, another miners will be there. He will ask if that you are really a dragon it doesn't matter what you answer he will run away. Now go down and you will meet two more miners who are not afraid of you. Use Whelp Breath on them as well. Now go down the flight of stairs on your left, two miners will be down there, kill them with your whelp breath. There is nothing down there, so go back up the stairs. Go right then down then make a left into the next area. This miner will call for help, walk strait and he will run behind a control panel. A big miner will try and stop you and you will fight them. Go and use whelp breath and something will tell you not. Then you will not be in a fight; the man behind the controls will hit you with a crane and knock you out. They will take the dragon away in a cage; they will put the dragon on a train and take him somewhere. You will be knocked out while this is going on. When you can control it somewhat shake the D-Pad to get out of the cage. Now you will see a scene where a boar is walking and a tiger boy is crouched behind some bushes. The Boar will hear noise get scared and run off. Something alerted the boar and the boy goes to see what happened. The tiger boy will go and see two currs about to kill a small naked blue haired boy. That's Ryu, the main character in the game. After he kills the boars the tiger boy walks off, but his conscience is eating at him. He can't do it, Ryu will call for Mommy, and the tiger boy will reluctantly take Ryu with him. You will then find out in the next scene that the tiger boy is named Rei. You will see Rei with Ryu on his back, taking him to a small hut in a tree, a boy who is around Ryu's size is demanding food. Then Rei shows up, the purple haired buy thought Ryu was food. You then find out that the purple haired boy is named Teepo. Rei tells Teepo to get him situated in Teepo's bed. Then you will see Ryu sleep and Teepo and Rei are discussing Ryu around the bed while he is sleep. Rei assumes that Ryu is an orphan. Teepo was an orphan, and Rei found Teepo too. Then after some more discussion they decide to leave Ryu alone for now. Ryu then has a dream, a man and a winged woman is in his dream. The dream won't make any sense now. Now you will be in control of Ryu, go check the red book on the right side of the room, you can save your journey up to this point so do so. Then go down the stairs, check both of the dressers for a vitamin and a worm. Now go outside, go right and around the back of the house. Now walk along the man made path, when you come to a fork, go up then let then into the next area. Go left and then down pass the cage that Ryu as the dragon was in. Keep going down and get the bag containing a green apple. Now keep going down then make a right then exit into the next area. On the next screen keep right then go down. You will be on the world map, there is not much to do but go to the town of McNeil just go strait down. When you get there you will see Rei being kicked out of a house, then Teepo being kicked out. They will then see Ryu in his robe, they now realize he will be one of the gang and want to see if they can use them to help them steal. Rei and Teepo will run off go down, and you will see them outside of the weapons shop. Speak to Teepo, he will call you Ryu! He says your name must have appeared to him in a dream since Ryu didn't tell it to him. Right after this Rei will come running out of the weapons shop. You will see Rei and Teepo alone, and then Ryu will walk up, he will be in normal clothing. Now, they will decide to do today's work, by hitting Yraall Road and mugging someone. Ryu starts at level 1, Teepo Level 1, Rei level 5. They tell Ryu about how they mug people for money and stuff they carry. Now you will have control over everyone! Go strait down pass the fields, you will end up on the world map. Go down and enter the place called the Yraall Road. This will also be the first place in the game you will encounter enemies. If you encounter any boss goblins try and learn motivate, and unmotivate from them. If you see any red goos try and learn Burn. When you are ready to continue go down, Teepo will talk about how him and Rei want to leave the Cedar Woods for a big city like Wyndia, but Rei says they should worry about food. Rei says the tree looks good, and a finger will point you to where Rei is talking about. Now go to where the finger pointed. Rei will also tell you how they mug people by swiping them with a sword. You can to by pressing Triangle although they don't tell you that but if you need some change just use your sword and press triangle. Suddenly a Big Guy will appear on the road, Teepo will tell you to try and mug him. Teepo will push Ryu into the big guy. Doesn't that just beat all, the big guy won't be mugged, and his name is Bunyan. He says if you see Rei and Teepo that they'll be sorry next time they see Bunyan. The mugging attempt didn't go as planned, and Rei figures since Bunyan is out here there is no one to guard his house or his food. When you regain control over the characters go to the tree on the right behind it is a bag with a treasure inside. Now go left then go up and you'll be back on the world map. Now go strait up and into the Cedar Woods. Once inside go up then make a right. Then go up an incline then go right then down. Go strait down and then left when you see the house put Rei in lead. He will pick the lock. When inside Rei suggests splitting up to find some food. Rei's tail will knock over the plate, and Ryu will grab it before it breaks. Now you will have control over Ryu, go to the upper right part of the room and down a ladder. Check the cupboard there for a Beef Jerky. Rei and Teepo will come down the stairs and see that Ryu has found food. Now they will get out of there, before you will regain control you will hear the door. Doesn't that just beat all Bunyan's home! Rei decides to take a peek at what Bunyan is doing. Eventually you will hear some rumbling, then you will hear a squeal from Rei. Teepo says he will go check on Rei, Teepo will then ascend the ladder and some rumbling will then occur. Now you will have control over Ryu. Go up the ladder, Bunyan's not there, so go outside. You will see Bunyan, and he will punch Ryu in the face. When you wake up, you will be tied up and Bunyan will lecture you about how stealing is wrong. Teepo will be very defiant and say that what they were doing is working. Bunyan will then free Rei, and send him off to Mt. Glaus. Rei thinks that he is leaving Ryu and Teepo there as hostages, but he has something else planned for them to. When Rei walks off he says they will work. This will open up one of few mini games! #################### Mini Game I Chopping Wood The idea here is for Teepo to place the log while Ryu uses his sword to cut it. Swipe too fast and you will cut Teepo. Swipe too slow and you will miss the wood. You have to hut the wood just as it's about to fall over. You have 30 seconds to chop the wood, my personal best is 25 logs. #################### Teepo doesn't care about anything Bunyan has to say and he suggests going after Rei to try and help him. Now go right then go up and then go right again and you will be back on the world map. Press start to set up camp rest and save your progress. When you are out of camp go right and then go up to a ? spot. When you enter go right across the bridge, then go down. Then go left, when you see the big rock, put Teepo in the lead and have him kick the smaller rock underneath it. The big rock will fall in the stream, blocking the water off. Walk into the stream, go down then go right then get the chest containing a Weather Vane. Now go back to the bridge keep right then go up until you hit a wall. Then go right again, then go up. You will be back on the world map, go left then go up. And you will be in Mt. Glaus. When you enter go up across the bridge and keep going up until you hit a steep hill. Go left and up the not so steep hill next to it. You may have noticed two treasures on the rocks in the steep hill. By sliding down the hill at the right point you can get the Heavy Caro and the Cloth Shield. When you get them go up the dirt path next to the steep hill and make a right. Teepo will tell Dusk is coming, he will see a house and there may have been a chance that Rei is spending the night there. ***************************************************************************** 1b: Chasing a Beast Levels: Ryu 5; Teepo 5; Rei 5 Now when you go inside the house Rei will be there. Rei tells Teepo that Bunyan ahs sent him in the mountains to kill the beast alone. Teepo doesn't understand why he would send Rei by himself into the mountains but, Bunyan thinks that Rei could of did it by himself. Now Rei decides that they all should just rest right now. You will hear the rest music, and you will be awoken by the screech of the monster and Teepo. The monster is outside, when you gain control go outside, the monster will come down and block the party. You will have to fight him! ############################################################################# Boss Fight I Nue Formation Attack: Rei Lead Difficulty: Easy Exp: 0 Zenny 0 Item: 0 HP: 140 Special Attacks: Nue Stomp: Attack on one member Your main form of offense is Rei attacking Teepo using Flare and Ryu healing, and when healing isn't needed Ryu should also attack. The Nue just does the Nue Stomp, which isn't that damaging. Keep on the offensive and the Nue will run off after it's hurt badly. ############################################################################# After the battle go back in the house and rest. Go back outside and check the statue next to the house, it's a dragon statue people pray to for a safe journey. In other words it's a save point. Save at it, then go up past the tree stumps and go right into the cave. Teepo will notice the trail of Nue blood so they should follow it. Go right along the trail of blood, then go up at then go right. The blood trail will end, search the remains in the corner for 200 Zenny. Now leave back out and Teepo thinks he may have jumped into the water. Go left then go strait down at the fork, check the remains there for a Talisman, don't equip this. No go back up and make a right, then go up. You will be in another room with water in it. Teepo figured out that the Nue must have jumped in the water and they could jump in the water as well. They will make Ryu go first and then Rei and Teepo will follow. You will be taken into a hole behind the waterfall. They will dry off, if you are not certain about your levels of your health, go back out and you will be taken back to civilization. When you are ready come back here. Go strait and into the hole in the wall, Rei will see the Nue's eyes and Teepo will mention he's probably tired. ############################################################################# Boss Fight II Nue 2 Form Normal Difficulty: Easy Exp: 36 Zenny: 50 Item None HP: 275 Special Attacks: Nue Stomp: Attack on one member Jolt: Minor lightening attack on All, (It can only use it once) Use the same strategy here, although it's harder here. Since the Nue will Reprisal every attack you put on him. Rei should attack it, Teepo should use Flare, and Ryu should heal and when heal isn't needed he should also attack. The Nue will use Jolt once, and when it does it's at half HP. You should have everyone cure them self in that round since that will take a lot out of the party. After that Jolt the rest of the battle will go smooth, and in two rounds the Nue will be out. ############################################################################# The Nue will fall back against the cave and die. It was trying to protect its cave. Check the Nue and you will be able to go into the cave behind him. You will see 3 dead Nue cubs! Doesn't that just beat all, the Nue was a mother! She didn't realize that her cubs were dead and was still bringing food back for them. Rei will realize that this wasn't such a great thing. You will regain control over the party and when you do go back out of this cave, and then keep walking left and then jump into the current. You will be whisked out of the mountain and back outside. After everyone dries off. Bunyan will congratulate you on a job well done. Rei assumes that Bunyan knew that the Nue had cubs, and that's why he wanted him to kill the Nue. ***************************************************************************** 1c: Heroes from the Cedar Woods Levels: Ryu 7; Teepo 7; Rei 7 It's spring time the tree's are green the birds are chirping and there is a chest somewhere in the woods! You will see Teepo coming back home Teepo comes bearing food. Now Teepo wants to go down to the village and brag about killing the Nue. Rei will think they shouldn't brag about it, but he is curious about what the villagers are saying about the heroic effort. When you gain control go to the room on the left and go down the ladder. There is a healing herb in the cabinet, then go back up to Ryu and Teepo's bedroom and use the diary to save. Now leave the Cedar Woods and go to the forest. Teepo has already begun bragging. The townspeople will eventually come up to you, and surround the party. They will be impressed at the fact that you 3 brave kids have risked your lives to make there's easier. They will tell you how your heroes and you won't have to steal any more. Everyone will eventually lose interest and leave. Then Teepo will toot his own horn even more by adding on to the fact that you're heroes. You will notice a green cloak man still standing around. Speak to him, his name is Loki he wants you to help him with something. He will give you details in his shack near the farm. For now go to the weapon shop, you should have enough money to buy three Bronze Swords. Equip one to each of you. Then go to the item shop next door and buy a fishing rod and as many healing herbs as you have money left. Make sure to leave at least 1 Zenny left. Then go back up and out on to the world map. When you are there go strait down and make a left, you can fish. There are some decent low level fish that can be caught in this fishing hole. Read the games tutorial for now until I write one of my own maybe. Then go back to where the farm is, don't enter and make a left. Then go to where you see that stump enter there. A man with a big book is there. His name is Mygas and he is the game's first master. Apprentice Ryu under him only, and no one else. He will only become your master if you give him all your Zenny. See you spent just about all your Zenny so a few loose Zennies will be easy to part with! When you are done go to farm. Go to the small hut you may have checked it out in one of your earlier travels. Loki will be there, in so many words he will tell you he wants you to break into McNeil's place and steal back all the tax money. Teepo sort of goes off of what Loki is saying, and think that the people will really love them, if they break into McNeil's and take back the money. They will be the king's of the people! Sounds like a plan Loki suggests waiting for nightfall to go through with this. Nightfall will come and Loki will tell you when. When it's night you will be outside another hut, and Rei suggests splitting up to look for a way into the compound. Go back in the house and check the dresser for a vitamin. Now go back outside of the house go strait up and then make a left. Look for the discolored "fix" part of the wall. You may have seen workers here earlier claiming how no one will be bale to get in through here. Anyway Rei and Teepo will show up, and Rei will lean on the wall the wall will fall down and so will Rei. Doesn't that just beat all? That was a pretty crappy job on fixing the wall! But the main point is now you are in! Once you go left the guard there will stop you. He will recognize Rei, and then realize that since you killed the Nue he won't be able to beat you. So he will let you past if you have 50 Zenny. If you don't then go down then make a left in the hedges. Examine the dead end a man will be hiding, if you don't squeal on him he'll give you 50 Zenny! Now take this back to the guard and he will let you through. Now go up, then up some stairs. Examine the corner of the wall on the left and you will find a wallet. Now make a right and speak to the guard there, he will let you pass since that is his wallet you found. Now go right and you will see a guard with a lantern. Do not touch the light or talk to this guard. Guards with lanterns care about their work, and they will throw you out if they catch you. When the light is away go down, keep going strait down. Climb the tower that has a bell on it. Have Teepo kick the bell, and one of the guards will think it's time for him to take a break. Now climb down, and then go up then make a right. Then go op the small flight of stairs on your right. Speak to the guard having a cigarette. He won't let you past, but if you get rid of the guard dog it will be the dog's fault and not yours. Doesn't that just beat all? They're a bunch of lazy goof offs. Now go down the small stairs and keep down. The dog will see the party. Teepo will feel funny about killing such an innocent dog. But Rei will tell him they have to. ############################################################################# Boss Fight III Pooch Form Normal Difficulty: Easy Exp: 28 Zenny: 10 Item: Steal Vitamin HP: 250 Special Attacks: Snap: Attacks, lower defense. This battle isn't difficult at all. Pooch will only attack, and use Snap. Whoever he uses Snap on, you should always have Ryu cure them because two more attacks afterwards will kill this party member. Everyone should attack on offense, no reason for Teepo to waste any AP. Rei should try and steal that vitamin but it really isn't necessary. Ryu should heal when healing is needed, with either magic or items. ############################################################################# Now go back up and the guard will let you past. Go right and down the stairs, keep right and speak to the man in front of the small house. The man will wonder about a girl named Mina. Now go left, to the stairs then go down. You will see 3 people a man on this side of the hedges and a man and a woman on the other side. Speak to the man on this side and then go right and down and around the hedges. That's Mina with some stuttering wimp man. Now go back up to the guard, and talk to him, Rei will tell him that Mina is with another man which will cause him to run off! Now go and see what he was guarding! A chicken coop! Teepo will be going around stealing eggs. Teepo figures, that the eggs are good enough and they should leave. Suddenly a big Rooster comes downs that is not to pleased! ############################################################################# Boss Fight IV Rocky Form: Normal Difficulty: Easy EXP: 29; Zenny 0; Item: None HP: 270 Special Attacks: *Jump*: Does random damage Ovum: Turns one party member into an egg. Well Rocky will use jump 90% of the time so, try to have Ryu learn it. When he does have Ryu use Jump on him, have Teepo attack and Rei attack. He will also use Ovum, which has a 1% chance to actually turn you into an egg. So this attack is basically a free hit so wail on him until he is defeated! ############################################################################# After the fight all the chickens will run out. Rei and the gang will leave the coop and hear all the guards going to chase the chickens. Go back to the left side of the compound and then go up the stairs. Then go up and make a right. Rei will hear something, he will see 4 guards guarding the door to the manor. Rei will decide to be a decoy, he then says he will meet you on the roof and then he will run past them. When he does the guards go and chase him. Ryu and Teepo will sneak into the door. Rei will then jump on the roof. Now Ryu and Teepo will be inside. Now go to the room on your right, Teepo will feel that someone is watching them even though there is no ghosts. When the scene is over go down then go right. Speak to the butler he will allow you to sleep in the bed. Take a rest then save the game. After that go left and up and out of the room. Then try and go up the stairs, An invisible power will pull Ryu and Teepo back. A voice will say no trespassing it's Torast the ghosts of the 5th McNeil! You will have to fight him! ############################################################################# Boss Fight V Torast McNeil Form: Normal Difficulty: Easy EXP: 16; Zenny 8; Item: None HP: 120 Special Attack: Sleep: Puts one party member to sleep This battle is pretty easy just attack him on the offense. All he does is use sleep and attack. When he attacks the sleeping member it wakes him up. Your level should be high enough where curing after this won't even be an option. Since his sleep won't put both of you asleep this battle basically will fly by. ############################################################################# After the battle Torast will become a small flame and run up the stairs. Now go up the stairs make a left, and then go left again. Loot the room that is open for gems. Go up and take the vitamin from the cabinet. Go strait up and you will see McNeil! Yeah, he is McNeil but not the current McNeil. It's Kassen the 3rd McNeil! ############################################################################# Boss Fight VI Kassen McNeil Form: Normal Difficulty: Very Easy EXP: 19 Zenny 20: Item: None HP: 55 Special Attacks: Leech Power: Takes small percentage of one member HP and turns it into HP for itself. It just attacks and uses Leech Power. Which takes away about 4 HP if your level for both is like 7. Just have Teepo attack and Ryu use jump. There is a small chance that he will actually do anything meaningful in this battle, so again curing won't even be an option. You can probably beat him in 3 rounds if you are quick enough. ############################################################################# After the battle Kassen will turn into a flame and run away. Go right when you come to a room go in it. Then try and go down the stairs. A voice will stop you, it's the voice of Goltel the 12th McNeil! ############################################################################# Boss Fight VII Goltel McNeil Form: Normal Difficulty: Easy EXP: 18 Zenny 4: Item: None HP: 150 Special Attacks: Weaken: Lowers Defense of one member Blunt: Lowers Power of one member Goltel doesn't even attack all he uses is Weaken and Blunt. So really it's pretty pointless to use those. Now, Teepo should use Simoon, and Ryu should use Jump to put him away very quickly. If you get two good jumps and Simoon back to back this should be able to kill him. ############################################################################# Goltel will become a flame and go down the stairs. Go left then check the cupboard next to the bed for a Multivitamin. Go down the stairs. Go left and you will end up in a hallway. Go to the room on the left. Once inside make a left check one of the dressers for a vitamin. Keep left until you see a flight of stairs. Go down and another McNeil will appear. Teepo will cut him off before he can even say his name. He is Doksen the 8th McNeil! ############################################################################# Boss Fight VIII Doksen McNeil Form: Normal Difficulty: Easy EXP: 23 Zenny 29: Item: None HP: 140 Special Attacks: NONE This McNeil doesn't do anything fancy. Just use jump and Simoon (If Teepo still has the AP for it). If Teepo is out of AP then just use a normal attack. Occasionally Doksen when use a Reprisal attack on you. He will not be able to kill you unless you come in to this battle with extremely low HP. ############################################################################# After the battle Teepo feels bad about cutting him off. Then the screen will shift to the hallway where the portraits of 5 McNeil's hang. They all complain about how you defeated them. The one on the right side of the room says it's up to the living McNeil to stop you. When you gain control of the party. Continue going down then go right. Press the button near the elevator and it will go up. Then go up the flight of stairs in the room the elevator takes you to. Teepo will notice a bed in the room. Check it and get some rest. No ghosts came out while you were sleeping. Now check the diary on the right side of the room. Save your game and go up the ladder. You will be on the roof. Rei is no where in sight. Teepo will notice smoke coming out of the chimney of the adjacent part of the manor. That's got to be where the living McNeil is, but how do you get over there since all the doors are nail shut. Now go right then go up some stairs, walk across the roof edge then down some stairs. Do this about twice and you will be at the end of the room, go down the sludge and an item will stop you. What's a Grappling Hook doing on the roof. The screen will shift and you will be back in the middle of the roof. Teepo will realize you won't be able to make it to the other side on your own. Rei will show up, Rei knows a way over but he needs to find something. Ryu will hand Rei the grappling hook. Rei will twirl the grappling hook slip on the sludge and use his cat like reflexes to jump to the other side. It was pretty cool and he makes it seem like he did it on purpose. He will then twirl the grappling hook from the other side. Ryu and Teepo will walk across. After a funny scene where Teepo makes Rei feels guilty you will have control over he party. Go up and some stairs. Then go down a flight of stairs. Go left and through the opening. You will see the living McNeil chasing a "vixen" around the room. Rei say's "Doesn't that just beat all" and McNeil will hear him. Teepo will make the demand that McNeil gives back all the taxes he got from the people. Suddenly the 5 ghosts of the past McNeil's will show up. They will realize the living McNeil is a wimp and form into one tough McNeil! ############################################################################# Boss Fight IX Almagon McNeil Form: Normal Difficulty: Medium EXP: 70 Zenny 200: Item: Steal Magic Shard HP: 520 Special Attacks: Sleep: Can put entire party to sleep Flare: Minor Fire damage to one member Astral Damage: Major damage to one member This battle will be the hardest fought so far. His sleep can put the entire party to sleep, giving him a free attack, and the party with no chance to mount any offense of defense. You don't have to worry too much when he casts flare. Curing will be a must against this McNeil and you should put Ryu in charge of that. When he is near death he will use Astral Warp, this can kill a person who is not at full strength. Rei should just attack but try and steal that Magic Shard. Teepo should use Simoon and Ryu should jump. Try to stay on the offensive, after like 3 sleeps, not everyone will be effected giving the "awake" member a chance to recover with items. ***************************************************************************** 1d: Separation Levels: Ryu 8; Teepo 8; Rei 8 After killing McNeil's ancestors the living McNeil is really a wimp. Rei and Teepo will badger him about the money. The living McNeil will tell them where the money is. Even the Vixen will walk out on McNeil calling him a wimp! Ryu will go back where Teepo and Rei are. McNeil mentions he will have the last laugh. Now the screen will shift and you will earl dawn at the McNeil village, there is a sack of money on everyone's porch. Then you will see the 3 boys around the table. Teepo will again be puffing himself up with pride about how they are heroes. Even Rei is a little anxious to see the reaction of the people. Before you take off Rei and Teepo's armor, and exchange their better weapons for crapper weapons. Leave the Cedar Woods and head for McNeil. Speak to the people, everyone however will not like their latest prank. They all gave the money back to McNeil fearing his power. Seems like it's time to find Loki. He will be in the farm area, but he doesn't want to speak about the events of last night so loud. He says he will meet you at his hut. Now, go there and a cow will walk in. Then Bunyan will walk in, Bunyan will talk to the cow and say that McNeil is under a gang of crooks who don't appreciate getting stolen from. The "Heroes" better get home before anything bad happens. Now go back to the Cedar Woods and make your way towards home! Yikes! When you get on the screen you will hear fire. Then you will see your tree house on fire. Rei will be checking it out, when he hears Teepo's scream. The screen will shift, you will see two horsemen. (The one with the green tail is Sunder, the one with the light blue is Balio) They will mock the thieves from Cedar Woods. But these two should be nothing to stop the guys who killed the Nue! ############################################################################# Boss Fight X Balio and Sunder Form: Normal Difficulty: N/A EXP: ??? Zenny ?????: Item: ? HP: Balio ? Sunder ? Special Attacks: Lightening: Medium Damage to all Well... there is no beating these guys. They're pretty much invincible, so you might as well die. Just attack them, and a lightening spell should kill everyone except Rei. Then one hit should kill Rei afterwards ############################################################################# After the fight you will awaken in Bunyan's house. Go outside and speak to Bunyan. Ryu will start crying when Bunyan tells him that Rei and Teepo are not found. Ryu will tell Bunyan he is going to find Rei and Teepo, even though Bunyan thinks they died Ryu still wants to go to Wyndia to look. Bunyan says go east along Yraall Road to find them. Go back to McNeil before setting out, now the people will feel sorry that they burned down your home, and killed you. The shops will allow you to buy stuff again. Sell the two Bronze Swords you bought for Rei and Teepo, and get some more healing herbs before setting out. Then go on the world map. When you are back on the world map, go and see Mygas. He will teach you the Frost spell. Now go on the Yraall road and head for Mt. Mynreg. In Mt. Mynreg you will encounter Nutmages, and Nutroops. Learn Double Blow from the troops, and kill then using burn or a moltov. You will encounter Tarmen, kill them using Frost. Once inside go right then down, and get the treasure next to the Tarman. It's an icicle, now go down some more then right. Then go up the ladder when you come to it, once up go right and up another ladder. Now make a left around the mountain and up another ladder. Now go right, you will see Sunder pissing down the mountain. Try and walk by him and he will notice you are not Balio. First Sunder will think that Ryu is a ghost. Then Balio will show up. Then they will think he is a Zombie. Then Sunder will stab Ryu in the back making him a dead zombie. Then Ryu will begin to flash and the sword will come out of Ryu! Then he will become a dragon. Ryu is unconscious though, then you will be inside Wyndia. You will see Balio and Sunder in front of the king. They tell the king they have a real live dragon in the cage! Balio will pull back the cloth and Ryu turned back into a kid! This is hilarious, then they will have to make him mad, so they start kicking the cage. They Ryu will start crying. The King has had enough of this mockery, and next thing you know your in jail. Balio and Sunder will be blaming Ryu for not becoming a dragon. Then the door will open and the princess will be there. She will want to let Ryu go, but Balio and Sunder will think they mean them too. She will not want to let them go, but they will promise they will not pick with Ryu any more. She lets them go first, Sunder will backhand Nina. They decide a princess is worth more than a dragon boy. Now you will have control over Ryu, check the door. Choose to break the door. It won't budge chose to break it again and the whole door will fall off. Go into Balio and Sunder's cell. Once inside get the treasure it's a skill ink. Then go and save at the diary. Now go right then down. Then go down a flight of stairs Sunder will be messing with Nina Balio will kick Nina over. ############################################################################# Boss Fight XI Balio and Sunder 2 Form: Normal Difficulty: N/A or Very Hard EXP: ??? Zenny ?????: Item: (If you beat them) Asbestos Armor HP: Balio ? Sunder ? Special Attacks: Lightening: Medium Damage to all Well I couldn't beat them, and since I saved I couldn't gain 8 more levels to even have a chance. You will have to have Ryu on level 17 to survive the powerful attacks that these two dish out. You will probably have to be the Flame Whelp as well. Well I didn't beat them so I don't know, either way the game will continue on the same way since they won't die. ***************************************************************************** 1e: New Friend Levels: Ryu 9; Nina 5 Ryu will wake up with Nina, Nina will thank you for allowing her to get away. Nina then joins the party at level 5. Now go down then go down a flight of stairs. Now you will be in the Wyndia family crypt. Go left then go down, and around and up an incline. Check the big statue near the fire. Press "Red", "climbing","I",,"is","lost","beneath","this". Now you will drop down, go left then you will dorp down again. Now Ryu will tell Nina that he is looking for his friends Rei and Teepo. She has never heard of them, but one of her jobs as a princess is to help those who need it. Go left and into the next room, keep left in the next area then go down. Then go left and you will be outside. Now explore the town, they have two weapon shops, two item shops and inn and a rip off shop. Don't buy any shots from the rip-off medical place. Buy a new sword for Ryu. Then go right and speak to the kids in the square. Nina will tell them they are looking for a friend but the kids will think you mean Hide and Seek. Well it's time to go and look for the brats. Kid one- Upper right corner from the playing area Kid two- behind weapons shop kid three- behind item shop kid four- behind tree in the cafe area. When you find all four kids you will be back in the playing area. The main kid will tell you a kid around Ryu's size was caught stealing from the guy who lives next to the other item shop. The kid got away and went down the road. Leave Wyndia, set up camp and rest and save. Then go to the road. Enter the road, Nina will say they should check the house there. Go inside and you will hear Nina scream. Ignore her for now and check the dresser for clothing. Then go outside doesn't that just beat all? Balio and Sunder bagged Nina! Balio will then punch you in the face. When you wake up you will be in the pub inside of a town called Genmel. You will see Balio and Sunder in the main room of the pub with two rather large men. The other horse guy is Fahl, and the big guy with the wings in the corner is named Garr. Balio and Sunder will tell Fahl to keep an eye on the kids but he is pretty drunk. Then Ryu and Nina will try and figure a way out. Ryu will chew through the ropes, Nina will be quite impressed by Ryu. Ryu and Nina will try and sneak out, and Fahl will spot you but Garr seems lost in thought. Fahl is so drunk he doesn't even realize what you are doing. So you will automatically walk out. When you gain control go to the shop with the picture of the Manillo on the front. Buy Nina a Mace and leave. Go back on the world map set up camp and save, then go right and into Mt. Boumore. Don't even try going over Maekyss Gorge, some idiot's cart tipped over and no one will pass until some one helps him pick it up. So just go to Mt. Boumore. Once inside go right and follow along the path. When you reach the fork go down the ramp and get the treasure it contains a panacea. Go back to the fork, take the upper right path. Follow along the path and at the next fork go up the incline and up a ladder. Now go right and speak to the man there. The man will take you in the house there. Nina will tell the man named Mason she they are running from two fellows named Balio and Sunder. The men will allow you to sleep there. Check the cabinet on the left for a bent sword. Then go through the door and when you will sleep. When Nina wakes you up check the door, it's locked! Nina will bang on the door, and Mason will not say anything. Then Sunder will walk in, Mason will point to the door where Ryu and Nina are at. Nina will hear Sunder's voice, now go through the door on the right. Put Nina in the lead, and have her check the control panel. She will tell Ryu to get into the lift. Then Sunder will walk into the room where Ryu and Nina were at. Sunder will walk in and try and get Ryu. Ryu will slash him in the face. Then Nina will get the lift to work using her magic. Now Nina will try and jump on and miss a few times, finally she will get the side of it. Then Ryu will pull Nina up. Ryu and Nina will talk about what just happened and then they will make it to the other side. Go down then down a flight of stairs. Go right then follow along the path. When you come to a fork take the lower right path. Now follow the path and you will find a treasure it contains a life shard give it to Nina. Go back to the fork and take the upper right path. Now follow along this path until you reach another fork. Take the upper path here, follow the path and it seems like you reach a block. Now Sunder will show up. Sunder will tell you there is no way down from the mountain, Nina will suggest to Ryu to jump for it. Eventually they do and Ryu turns into a dragon during the fall and breaks Nina's fall. This is the first time Nina will see Ryu as a dragon. But the key point is she isn't frightened by it. Now go down and out of the mountain. Set up camp rest and save. Now go back on the world map and when you do go along the bottom part of the mountain until you reach a ? spot. Check this spot and walk left and you will find a dragon chrysm it contains the reverse gene. (This automatically gives you the Defender Gene as well). Now leave back out of the ? spot. ***************************************************************************** 1f: The Tower Levels: Ryu 10; Nina 7 When you are on the world map go right and enter the place called Tower. Nina thinks that they might be able to stay here or at least find a person who can take them back to Wyndia. Speak to the Manillo and buy some Healing Herbs from him. Then go inside the tower using either entrance. Go right and have Nina use her wand to hit the big crystal you will have 30 seconds to activate the smaller crystals. Now go left and up the stairs, now right and out then. Make left go down th left stairs, go right and down another stairs. Then go up and hit all 4 crystals. If you gave over 5 seconds left the treasure will be a Wisdom Fruit. Under 5 you will get a multi vitamin. That is if you hit all 4 crystals with the wand in time. If you do go in inside and go down the middle path and get the treasure. Now go back inside and up the few steps. Make a left and up the stair case. Go right read the sign, it warns you about the monsters inside. I suggest that for right now you will have to run from most battles inside the tower for right now. Keep right and go through the door. In the next room make left and go up the stairs. Then go through the door on the right, there is a bed here. There is also do a diary so save here and go out and level up. I managed to get Nina up to level 9 before going on. Ryu's went to level 11. When you are through leveling up go left then up a flight of stairs. Now go down and make a right. You will hear lass shatter, a small robot will come out of the door. Then you will see a huge flash of light then an explosion. Go in the room, and you will see an older girl around Rei's age in the room. The robot will alert the girl. Her name is Momo, she will yell to you. Nina will then yell to Momo but she still can't hear her. Then the screen will fade, Momo will explain her ears were ringing from that explosion but she can hear now. But the main point is Momo knows a way to get back to Wyndia! Then Momo will realize who Nina is. But, Nina will tell her to think of her as a friend and not a princess. Momo will allow you to rest there. When you wake up Momo will walk in. Momo will mention she saw a couple of scruffy looking guys outside when she was buying from the Manillo. Thankfully, it's not Balio and Sunder it's just a couple of goons who _work_ for Balio and Sunder. Momo will assure you that they won't be able to get up there because of all the traps and the monsters that are attracted to Chrysm. Momo will tell you that you can get out by going up. Then Momo will join you! Momo starts at level 10. You can read about Honey (the robot) by checking the shelves in here and then leave the room. Go right and go into the next room you can read more about Honey. You can also try a very difficult puzzle. First read the sign then you will be able to play! #################### Mini Game II Floor Switches This game is pretty difficult but when you figure out the puzzle you will be much happier. The idea is to turn all the brown squares gray. Bleh, that's easy! Think again, this puzzle will have you here for at least 10 minutes. It's hard to actually give you a way to beat it. Since sometimes you will mess up. But this is a hint on beating it, you will have to try and get one o the edge pieces brown, and then circling it until you can walk off with everything gray. #################### If you figured it out and made everything gray congrats! The door on the right will open go inside and you will find a flame and an ice chrysm. Also you will get Skill Ink. Now leave both rooms and head back to the hallway. When you are back out make a right and go up the stairs. In the next room make a right and then go up some stairs. Now make a left and follow along the path and you will reach another puzzle. This one is much easier you have to find the two matching cubes. The 2nd and 4th one from left to right match so hit both of those switches. Then go up then left. Now go through the door, then go down then right and up there stairs. Then go down and through the door. Once you are inside the room pull the red lever. Now go up across the lift then keep up make a right and through the door. In the next room get a treasure it's a Moon Tears. Now go back to the room with the levers. Pull the blue lever, go down and go through the door on the left. Now go in the second left room, get the treasure its 800 Zenny. Now go back to the lever room and pull the red one down, and go right and up the stairs. When you are up the stairs go down make a left and up the stairs. Now make a right and up some stairs. Now get on the lift and go up the stairs on your life. Have Nina hit the crystal with her magic twice. Get on the brown eldritch lift and get the treasure it's a breastplate equip that to Ryu. Now jump down and go back up the stairs and hit the crystal 6 times. Get on the eldritch lift get the treasure it contains an Ivory Dice. Now jump down twice and make it back to the crystal. Have Nina hit it 8 times, then get on the lift. Now go up and up the stairs. Now go right, then go down, and then go right again. Then go up the stairs now go up and in the door. Get the treasure it's a bamboo rod and leave back out. Now go left and up the stairs. Now go forward hit the crystal with Nina's wand and then go froward and hit the crystal again and go forward. Then hit the crystal a third time. Now go right and then go through the door. You will reach Momo's father's old office. Momo will tell you that her father made an escape device before he passed. You have to find the switch don't bother checking the bookshelves nothing but X-rated reading material and dirty mag. Doesn't that just beat all her? Momo's father was nothing more than the typical old man. Check the two shelves in the upper right corner for a panacea and 30 Zenny. Then check the desk Momo will find a switch. Press the switch an alarm will go off! The two scruffy men will be afraid. Then you will be back in Momo's father office it's a rocket! Everyone will get on the rocket, and then Momo will ignite the rocket and then she will start the count. The rocket will go off that then you will see it on the world map it will go strait up and crash near the tower. Well at least they made it out alive! momo will then tell you the roof hatch should of been open and only one person was able to fit on the rocket. But the important part is they made it. Check behind the tree on the right you will find a dragon chrysm! The Thorn Gene! ***************************************************************************** 1g: The Plant Levels: Ryu: 13 Nina 10 Momo 11 Now leave this area and you will be back on the world map. Go left and enter the coffee, shop follow the sign and go up the path. Nina will want to stop and have some coffee. Then a waitress will come out and explain no one will be able to get into Wyndia. She says a couple of strange men are checking out everyone along the road. Suddenly a bald professor looking dude will appear. His name is Palet and he recognizes Momo. But Momo does not know him, he says he knew her father Repsol. He also says they are having trouble at the plant that her father wanted built. Ryu and Nina will decide to tag along with Momo since they obviously can't get back to Wyndia right now. When you gain control go inside the cafe, an item shop is here. Get some new items and an inn, it's 100 bucks but I'm 99% sure Nina or someone died in there and you didn't revive her you will need the full HP. Then save, check the dresser there for a vitamin. Now go out of the cafe area go right and follow a path leading up. Speak to the woman there her name is D'lonzo, she is another master but at this point you won't be able to apprentice under her because you don't have 15 different types of weapons in your inventory. Now leave the coffee shop and when you are ready go left and enter the plant. Once inside go right and enter the building. Go up stairs, search the cabinet for 90 Zenny and a healing herb. Then go back down the stairs and out of the building. Now go left then up and use the conveur belt. Once off go up then go right. Then up the incline then on the conveur to the left. Once off go left then across the other conveur. Once off go down hit the blue lever and go on the conveur belt. Then make a right and go down the conveur. Put Momo in the lead so she can speak to Palet. Momo thought she was there to help fix some of those machines. Palet will tell her that they already fixed the machines and they need her help on another problem. He points you to a large onion, Palet informs Momo that they can't sell products like that. He also says they dispose of those things at the dump. Well one at the dump got over grown and terrorized some of the workers there. He wants you to go down to the dump and dispose of a mutant there. Also if you didn't care for what they were talking about look at Nina tease Ryu until he starts crying while Momo and Palet are talking. Now slide down the steep hill, and then leave the plant. When you get on the world map rest and save. Then go left to the plant. When you enter go down then left. Then go up and make a right at the fork. Now go up when you get to the lever move it twice, then get the treasure it's 1200 Zenny. Now go back to the entrance and go up. Then go left then go down. Get the treasure it's high boots, equip then to Nina then jump down. Go up and make a left into the next area. Go left then go all the way down. Then go right go pass the conveur belts. When you get to the wall cure your an entire party and then equip Momo with the flame chrysm if you have it. Then go down and enter the cave. Wen you enter you will see an ugly mutant. Momo will say it's time to chop it up and the mutant will hear you. Also the mutant can talk and it doesn't want to die! ############################################################################# Boss Fight XII Mutant Form: Normal Difficulty: Intermediate EXP: 200 Zenny 300: Item: None HP: 570 Dragon Gene: Flame + Defender Special Attacks: Dream Breath: Puts one to sleep Well this battle really isn't that hard, it can use dream breath on you, which in the end won't be much of a problem when it loses it's power to regenerate. You have to burn it in order for it to lose the power. So Momo should hit him with her flame chrysm bazooka, and Nina should use Simoon. Ryu should just be the Flame Dragon. Now it won't be able to regenerate plus it will stop using dream breath. Ryu should hit it with Flame Claw, Nina should use Simoon and Momo should attack. It just attacks now with an occasional reprisal, when someone gets too weak Momo should heal that person. ############################################################################# After the battle the mutant will apologize, he had no control over his body. Then he wants you to destroy him. He wants it because he wasn't meant to be, and since you came to "dispose" of the "mutant" you might as well do your job. Then you will be taken to the conveur belt, don't try to be funny and use the blue switch to make him go back up. Just use the red one. He basically doesn't want any more dangerous mutants out there. When he dies you will hear a funny yell. An onion like the one from the plant will jump out of the fire. Ryu goes to slash it. Nina will block the little onion. Momo will think that the mutant left its seed here so you can protect it. Then Momo wants to really study the onion, and then she names him Peco. Peco only speaks in gibberish. Peco will then join your party. Peco starts at level 1. Now chose a party, don't include Peco just yet. In fact do not use Peco for anything until later on. Now leave the dump set up camp on the world map and save. ***************************************************************************** 1h: The Arena Levels: Ryu 14; Momo 14; Nina 13; Peco 1 Now go back to the plant. When you do Palet will be near the entrance. Palet will be glad that you disposed of the mutant, then he wills Momo to stay at the plant. But Momo says they really need to get back to Wyndia, and Palet knows a way to get you back. He suggests resting at the inn for tonight. Go to the inn and they will give you a free room for helping out. When you wake up Palet has a cart that he normally stores enhanced crops in that will go to Wyndia. He says for you to hide in the cart and you will be taken to Wyndia. Everyone will get in the cart. Doesn't that just beat all? When the cart drives off Palet set you up! He used you to get rid of the mutant, and he knows that Balio and Sunder want you so that get rids of two problems! Now the screen will show the cart and Sunder will be out by a bridge. Sunder tells the little guy in the black cloak to scram, next thing you know everyone is tied up. He takes them into the arena. Balio and Sunder are now together they will explain that they are strong and you are weak. Like the contest only strong survive. Then Nina gets the idea if they enter the contest that will prove they are strong. At first they will be opposed, but they realize Ryu's strength and realize no one will bet on children and they will clean up! Then Balio has an idea, he wants one hostage out of Momo and Peco, and you can go and train and purchase weapons. Leave Peco behind. But for laughs leave Momo behind and speak to her, their planning on doing some unknown stuff to her (that was hilarious). But seriously take Momo with you and leave Peco behind. Now scour the entire arena looting lockers, for goodies. At the weapon shop in the arena buy Ryu a Scramasax. Then equip Momo with the ice chrysm. Unequip everyone else's equipment. Give all your best equipment to Momo. Then change your battle order to Momo, Ryu, Nina. This is so she can stand up to the attacks of the first fight now locate your room in the Fire Hall. Speak to the bunny woman. She will tell you the rules of the fire hall. The basic idea is to have 6-person elimination tournament. The added bonus is that you are suspended on huge platforms by men called Dodai's. So you have another thing to worry about, which is the Dodai, the Dodai an be defeated which gives you an automatic victory. The Dodai doesn't get cured every round neither do you, and does your opponent. When you are ready say so and the first match will be Claw vs. Momo! ############################################################################# Boss Fight XIII Claw Form: N/A Difficulty: Easy EXP: 150 Zenny 200: Item: None HP: 260 Dragon Gene: None Suggested Party: Momo Special Attacks: Blind: Blind's one member Double Blow: Two hit's in a row When the battle starts cast protect on Momo. If you are on level 14 and you gave Momo your best defensive stuff Claw's attacks will not only do 3-8 HP's worth of damage. Claw will use blind occasionally so use Eye Drops or a panacea if this happens. Have Momo just attacks don't go after Claw's Dodai just concentrate on her. Since Momo isn't very accurate the battle will go on longer than it should cure Momo when she has about 20 HP or lower and the fight will soon be over. ############################################################################# Right after Momo will have to fight Cawer! ############################################################################# Boss Fight XIV Cawer + Dodai 1 Form: N/A Difficulty: Intermediate EXP: 3000 Zenny 200: Item: None HP: Cawer: ? Dodai 1: 2000 Dragon Gene: Flame + Defender + Reverse Suggested Party: Momo, Ryu Special Attacks: Protect: Increased Defense of one member Speed: Increases Speed of one member Cyclone: Does light wind damage of one member Frost: Does light water damage of one member Heal: Does light healing on one member. Rejuvenate: Does medium healing on one member Go after the Dodai! Cawer will just use status-enhancing magic on himself or Dodai 1 and 2. He so stupid he even cures or casts protects on your Dodai! Just keep bashing the Dodai with the Momo's ice chrysm. Cure your Dodai once in the blue if he really starts mashing him with attacks and frost. Remember Dodai 2 is the one underneath you. When his Dodai has 1500 damage, it will drop lower. Momo will not be able to touch it partly because it's too low for her to get with bazooka. Now have Momo commit suicide by shooting her self. Then Ryu will get his turn. Make your self the Ice Dragon! Use Frost Claw on the Dodai, and eventually he will fall all the way in. This way is much easier than taking on the last guy. ############################################################################# When the fight is over a Bunny Girl will congratulate you. Now return the battle order back to normal and the form to defense. Return all the equipment back to the original owners that you put on Momo. Then make Momo's weapon the Ammo again. Then leave that Garr guy is next in the Fire Hall, he sort of congratulates you. Now go to the inn inside the arena to rest and save. Then make your way to the Null Magic Hall. Find your room, and a bunny girl will be there to tell you the rules here. The only real rules in the Null Magic Hall are that all MP using magic is nullified and everyone is silenced. You are up against Emitai an advanced magic user. Tell her you are ready then a man will walk in. Nina will recognize him as Emitai. Emitai will lay down a sad story about his daughter needing an operation to live. He knows he can't win in the Null Magic Hall, but he could easily beat Garr with his magic. So basically Emitai wants you to job (throw the match). Nina then relays to him about one of their friends is held hostage, and they have to win to get their friend back. Emitai will understand and leave. You will then see him casts a spell on his two "boys". Then your party will automatically be in the Null Magic hall. Emitai will come out with two huge green Golem's! ############################################################################# Boss Fight XV Emitai and 2 Golems Form: Defense Difficulty: Easy EXP: 200 Zenny 340: Item: Magician Wand HP: Emitai: 625 Golems: 750 each Dragon Gene: Flame + Defender Suggested Party: Ryu, Momo and Nina Special Attacks: Protect: Spirit Blast: Light Physical Attack First go after Emitai. Ryu should become the Flame Defender Dragon. Accession isn't magic since it requires no MP, also none of the dragon magic requires MP :D Ryu should use Flame Claw on the Emitai Momo and Nina will attack. Emitai and the Golems have very low defense so Nina will do some decent damage. Eventually after attacking him and curing after some brutal golem attacks, Emitai will go down. Now the Golems without their master will turn on each other. Cure everyone full, then just defend until one of them dies. Finally attack the remaining Golem in a round or so he will die as well. ############################################################################# Now after the battle Nina will feel pretty sad about having to defeat Emitai. Sunder will walk in and congratulate you on making it to the finals. He will then say Ryu will face Garr in the finals. You will then see Balio and Sunder in the office, they will talk about how they will clean up on betting on Garr. Doesn't that just beat all? They will not let you go even if you win! When you gain control go to Emitai's room, that big phony! There was nothing wrong with his daughter it was a hoax! Now go to the inn and rest and save. Then go to your room in the hall of kings. Talk to the guard and then you will see Balio and Sunder in Garr's room. Garr will want to know why Ryu is so strong. Balio and Sunder will tell him that he is a dragon. Then Sunder will crack a joke on Garr being afraid of Ryu. Garr will not like that but Garr does seem to be deep in thought about the situation. Now it's time for the fight Ryu will be introduced as Super Boy Ryu! Check the crowd and you will get a glance of Chun-Li! Garr will come out to a lot of flashy lights and you will then get a glance of Sakura in attendance! Garr will be introduced as the wings of death, the champion of champions, Mr. Dynamite Garr! Then Garr tells Ryu to come at him with everything or he will kill him! Rumor has it if you don't turn into a dragon it will be a game over! ############################################################################# Boss Fight XVI Garr Form: N/A Difficulty: N/A EXP: ??? Zenny ???: Item: ? HP: ???? Dragon Gene: Frost + Defender + Reverse Special Attacks: Lucky Strike: Powerful attack As soon as the fight starts since you are faster than Garr turn into the Frost Dragon. Use Frost Breath on him and when he gets you weak use the Frost Claw on him. Garr has a natural weakness to ice, so to take off good damage. When you turn back into a boy, he will automatically hit you with a very powerful attack. ############################################################################# The announcer will then declare Garr the winner. Everyone will cheer and they will ask Garr wants and the Master of Ceremonies Balio will present whatever it is to him. Garr oddly wants Ryu and his friends! Balio will be mad because that is not what they agreed on. If Garr can't have them he will take Balio's life! Well the announcer will announce Ryu and his friends as Garr's prize. Then you will be back in the room and Ryu will be resting in the bed. Garr will come in and tell you he will take care of you from now on and that he held back on not killing Ryu. Then he goes to free the hostage. Now go to Balio and Sunder's office. You will see Balio and Sunder facing the wall while Garr is laying down the facts. Since the kids belong to him he wants them two to leave them alone and let them go. After Garr and your party leaves they still want to go back after you! Then Nina will ask Garr why did he let them go. He tells you because Ryu is of an ancient race of dragons with indomitable power called the brood. Then he tells you to meet him in the eastern land in a place called Angel Tower to find out. Now leave Genmel Rest and Save. ***************************************************************************** 1i: Back to Wyndia Levels: Ryu 17; Momo 14; Nina; 14 Peco 1 Now head to Maekyss Gorge. Walk right across the bridge, there will be a gang of scruffy men there. Doesn't that just beat all? In the back of all the men the 2 horsemen Balio and Sunder! Will these assholes ever give up?!? The brothers will send out three of the scruffiest men there! ############################################################################# Boss Fight XVII Bully 1; Bully 2; Bully 3 Form: Normal Difficulty: Intermediate EXP: 80 Zenny 350: Item: 3 Beef Jerky HP: 200 each Dragon Gene: Don't use Suggested Party: Ryu, Momo, and Nina Special Attacks: Bully 2: Blind Don't go all out here. You will have to save some for the next battle. Nina should use jolt, and Momo should use Quake and Ryu should use items to heal or just attack. Bully 2 used blind once but it didn't blind anyone. This battle should be other in 4 rounds tops if you don't have to cure. ############################################################################# After the fight the brothers will come up to you, and they will mention the gang of guys behind you. Behind you the only thing there is Garr! Oh yeah a lot of guys layed out by Garr. Garr warned them to leave you alone, then Garr joins the party! Garr comes in at level 13. Start the Garr chant! When they tell you to select a party use Garr, Ryu, Momo, use the Attack formation with Garr in the lead. Then when you go back to the game Balio and Sunder talk about their true power. Balio and Sunder will stand together and then a light will flash. They became Stallion! According to Stallion no one who has seen them like this has lived to tell about it! This even has Garr nervous! ############################################################################# Boss Fight XVIII Stallion Form: Attack Garr leads Difficulty: Semi-Hard EXP: 267 Zenny 500: Item: None HP: 1400 Dragon Gene: Flame + Defender Suggested Party: Garr, Ryu, Momo Special Attacks: Barrier: Raises Magic Defense Resists: Nullifies Magic Jolt: Minor lightening damage Utmost Attack: Does Medium Damage to all This battle won't be easy, you should solve all your curing problems during the first round. Ryu should become the Flame Dragon and use the Flame Claw. If that starts to not work then Ryu should just attack. Momo should cure and when that's not needed she should attack. Garr should also attack, and when his Resist runs down Garr should use Pyrokenesis. Most of what Stallion does won't kill you, but if you are low on HP when he does Utmost attack then you'll be in trouble. He will only do Utmost Attack when he gets to low or about half HP. He will not use it a lot though thankfully. ############################################################################# After the battle Garr will say they should take Nina back to Wyndia and that Ryu should accompany him to Angel Tower. Then Nina will mention that Ryu's reason for being out here is that he is looking for two of his friends name Rei and Teepo are missing. Garr will say that they are probably dead, of course Ryu will then start crying when he hears that. Then Garr will just lay down the facts about how guys like Balio and Sunder are ruthless. Then Garr will want to get moving when you gain control, go left then go down. Keep going down and check the bushes near the house for a dragon chrysm. It's the frost gene! No more needing to use reverse to become an Ice Dragon! Now go in the house and check the dresser for 400 Zenny. Now go back out and on to the world map. Go left and into the Yraall Region, see Mygas and since you gained about 8 levels or more since the last time you seen him he will teach you all his magic. Now, go out of here and go into the Cedar Forest to see Bunyan. Speak to Bunyan and he is now a master as well. Definitely put Peco under him, since if you haven't used Peco yet then you can get like 12 levels in an hour come back and learn everything! When you are done and picked up all the magic with Peco head back to Wyndia area. Before going into Wyndia check the ? spot on the side path thing in the Wyndia town on the world map. You will find a man their named Durandal, apprentice Nina to him. If Nina is not in the party then put her in it. Then speak to the guard in front of the castle, the guard will want to know what happened to those crooks Balio and Sunder but Nina is more interested in contacting her father on her return. Then you will be sitting with the king at dinner. King Wyndia will offer Ryu his thanks at dinner. He finds it hard to believe a normal boy could have done all Nina said he did. Then Nina almost spills the beans about him being a dragon. Garr cuts him off, and asks for a passport to cross the bridge. Nina will be upset that you want to leave her so fast. Then the screen will shift to Nina's room. She will still be upset that Ryu and the others have let her. Then you will hear a scream and a glass shatter. Check the dresser in her room for 120 Zenny then go down the stairs. Go left and speak to the maid and she said something like a rat startled her. Then you will se Honey run by and she will say that's it. Go down then go right, and go down the flight of stairs that is next to the guard. Then go left and then down another flight of stairs. Then you will be in the kitchen. Now go left again and down another flight of stairs. You will be in a room with a lot of crates. Go to the upper part of the room. Now check behind the crates and you'll find honey. Honey will see Nina and run away. Now go up to Nina's room, and go into the door next to it. Honey will be running along the edge Nina will go after her and when she does Honey will jump. Nina will fall with honey, Honey will have a white aura glowing around her, and they will gently float on the ground. Honey will look like she died. You will then see Ryu's camp. Momo can't find Honey anywhere. She'll ask Ryu and Garr who are siting near the fire and they haven't seen her. Momo will then call for honey and Nina will show up with honey. She has Honey with her Momo and Nina will go in the tent to work on honey. Ryu will start to follow them but Garr will call him back. Garr will tell Ryu that he will find out more about the brood once he reaches Angel Tower. He then says he might die soon as he finds out the history of the brood. Nina will overhear this and say she doesn't want Ryu to die alone. Nina will then plead Ryu's case on being a good dragon. Then the screen will shift back to the world map, set up camp and rest and save. ***************************************************************************** 1j: Fixing the lighthouse Levels: Ryu 18; Garr 15; Momo 14; Nina 14; Peco 13 Now go on the world map and go right until you reach checkpoint. When you enter Garr will tell you that this bridge will lead to the eastern lands. He will say you will probably have a problem with getting the runaway princess across. Garr Ryu and Nina will go to the guard they will let Ryu and Garr through, but one of the guards will recognize Nina. Garr will tell them that's his daughter and they will at first be bewildered but being seeing how large Garr is, they figured just to let them through. Garr did it because Ryu saved Nina several times and he probably only uses his power when Nina is in trouble. Then Nina will ask Ryu if that is why he uses his powers of course Ryu will try to avoid her, but if it is Nina wants to get stronger so he won't get in trouble. When you get back on the world map follow the path right then make a left and go into the small hut there. Go inside and check the dresser for a life shard and go back outside. Go around the back of the house and down the steps. Then go right and you will find the Thunder Gene. Combine this with the Frost and Flame Genes and you will get Trygon! Now go back to the world map. When you do go left until you get back to the Genmel in Central Wyndia. Go to the pub and speak to Fahl. He is now a master! He won't let you be his apprentice unless you win 30 battles in a row without rest. Take Garr, Peco and Ryu to the cedar woods. When 30 random battles and then go back to Genmel. Make sure to count each battle, and when you get there he will allow you to be his apprentice. Put Garr on Fahl. Now you can get on with the rest of the game. Go back to the Rhapala region and go into the town called Rhapala. When you get there locate the weapon shop, and buy Ryu a Moon Sword and a Scalemale. Don't equip either yet. If you have more powerful armor than the scalemale then don't buy it. Now go left and in the building with the cat face in front. Speak to the man there he will tell you to speak to the guildmaster if you want to purchase a ride on the boat. Now go to the inn, when you get their go down the steps and you will find a pub. Speak to the bearded man at the table with the Manillo. He is the guildmaster, he doesn't run operations right now and you have to speak to his daughter Shadis. Now leave the Inn and go to the wharf. Speak to the woman who has the same body and face as D'Lonzo. She is near the big flexing sailor. She is Shadis, then you will see the big sailor named Zig picking on a small wimp guy named Beyd. After he is done messing with him Beyd will help you. Shadis will be in a rotten mood, and she will tell you the ship is not coming back. Plus she has to marry that big oaf Zig. Now according to Beyd they can't sell you a rid right now. Now go to the entrance of the wharf and Shadis will be there. She has calmed down and she is sorry she can't help you, but if you speak to her father he might allow you to use the road. From speaking to the townspeople you will find out that the lighthouse is broken and that is the reason the ship is not coming back. Now go to the Inn then into the downstairs section. Shadis's father will tell you that you can't use the road because a volcano erupted recently and destroyed the road. There is no way pass the lava. Well leave Rhapala and you will automatically be in camp. Everyone is settled in the fact that there is no way now without the boat being around. Then Nina gets the idea that if they were to fix the lighthouse then maybe the boat would come back. Then that doesn't work because the guild probably wouldn't let them pass. Then Nina will wonder about the Shadis Beyd situation. About how Shadis likes Beyd and Beyd loves Shadis. Since they can't do anything she figures to play matchmaker and get them together! Now you will be back on the world map, set up camp for real and save. Then go back in Rhapala's wharf, then Nina wants to talk to Beyd. She will ask him if he loves Shadis, he will get pretty defensive. Then she will asks him if he thinks Shadis likes him. Since Shadis is right there he is pretty embarrassed and wants to go somewhere else. Then Beyd will lay down the facts about the Guild needs someone strong like Zig to marry Shadis and run the business. Then Nina suggests that Beyd get stronger so that he can run the business. Beyd thinks that is ridiculous and it's easier said than done. Then he will want to get back to work. Then the screen will shift and you will hear Zig laugh. Then go back to the wharf and speak to Beyd he says that Zig is going to fix the lighthouse and defeat the monsters there. If he were to do that he would be the strongest guy around. Then Nina will remind him that if he were the strongest around then Zig will certainly marry Shadis. His heart will get into it and Beyd now wants to be trained so he can be strong enough to fix the lighthouse. Beyd has never used a sword he wants light equipment, he will give you 1000 Zenny to fix him up with good equipment. Speak to Beyd again and tell him you got the equipment. Tell him you are ready. The screen will shift to the Town Square. #################### Mini Game III Training Beyd First equip Beyd with the Moon Sword and the Scalemale. Here is what needs to be done to get him trained. For Beyd's HP: Attack him it raises his HP. For Beyd's Power: Attack him to raise his Power For Beyd's Defense: Attack him while defending. There are 20 rounds of battle. The battle is over when the 20 rounds are up, or Beyd dies or he happens to kill you. Then switch your party to Ryu, Nina, and Peco. Pool off all their equipment. At first you will want to have Ryu attack him, and Nina cure him, and Peco do nothing. Try to keep Beyd's Hp high in the first few nights of fighting. When you get down to 1 turn have Ryu become the Flame Defender and hit him with a Flame Breath. To kill him and that will be all he can take. When you think Beyd is ready to take on Zig, put your best 3 fighters against him, and if he can survive like 6 rounds (No dragons from Ryu) then he is more than ready for Zig. #################### When you feel you are done trading Beyd speak to him. Chose to the lighthouse and Beyd will tell you he is not ready yet. Then Zig will overhear this, then Zig will say since he is the strongest guy around you will have to beat him to get to the lighthouse. Then the screen will shift to the square, Iggy Zig's friend will say since this is a duel don't try and help Beyd. The battle will start, just defend until you Zig gets a lucky strike. When he does he will wave to Shadis, cure Beyd when this happens, and then hit Zig. If you trained him enough Beyd enough he will win easily. After Beyd's wins he will tell Shadis he wants to run the Guild with her. Then you will be back on the world map go to the beach on the lower let part of Rhapala where the fishing spot it. Go to the ? spot there, you will find a man who looks like a half Manillo half man. He is Giotto, the next master. If you have a rodmaster rank he will allow you to apprentice under him. If you don't just fish some more. When you are done here go back to Rhapala go to the wharf and find Beyd. He's all beat up! He will tell you he won't be able to make it to the lighthouse. But, he will allow you to go in his place. He will give you a guild badge to show to the man who is blocking the way to the lighthouse. Get the two treasures if you gave him what I told you to, you will have a Claymore and a Crepe Cape. Go to where the man is blocking the lighthouse he will see the Guildbadge, and then he will allow you to go past. Now, you will end up on the world map, walk back to a normal area and rest and save. Then go to lighthouse, when you get their go up. Then go right and up the stairs. Then go up another flight of stairs, then go right and up the stairs. Keep right and get the coin from the treasure. Now go back to the first flight of stairs and make a right. Have Momo destroy the crates with her bazooka, Now go right and down the stairs. Go down and make a left at the bridge. Follow the path until you reach some stairs and go up the stairs, then go right and up a ladder. Now go up some stairs and then go left then go up. Then go into the door and read the sign. Now go right and down the stairs, then go left and down two flight of stairs, then go left and through the door. Rotate the camera to see the three chest. There are 3 fire chrysms go back through the door. Now go up, make a left then go down and go through the door. Go left and up the ladder. Read the sign on the wall it well tell you to put a chrysm in, and hit the lever when the line hit's the center. When all 4 small lines flash you hit X. Now put a chrysm in the shoot on the left. Then go to the lever, a graph will start hit x quickly when it hits the center. When it is open, go through the door on the left. Then go right hit the switch and go up the stairs. Then go down and right and hit the switch that is nearby. Then go right and up. Some green lizard will be there, cure up everyone, Momo will think it's cute, and Garr won't think it's a monster. So check it out, it seems like a statue since it's not move. So just ignore it, try and walk down the stairs and a huge eye will roll down! ############################################################################# Boss Fight XIX Gazer Form: Attack Garr leads Difficulty: Intermediate EXP: 750 Zenny 1000: Item: None HP: 1100 Dragon Gene: Thunder + Defender Suggested Party: Garr, Ryu, and Momo Special Attack: Eye Beam: Takes away half HP The main thing to worry about is the Eye Beam. His normal attack attacks all so that will be a problem. But it isn't that powerful. Ryu should use Thundr Breath on it, while Garr attacks, and Momo cures or just attacks. Since Thunder Breath does decent damage you really don't have much to worry about. ############################################################################# Now go up the flight of stairs, and keep going up the spiraling stairs until you are on top of the lighthouse. In the corner you will find a Dragon Chrysm it's the Eldritch Gene. Now hit the blue switch someone will scream and tell you to turn the lighthouse off. Then a Faerie will appear! The Faerie will smash the switch with a club. The Faerie is the one who had the Gazer come to protect the lighthouse so no one will turn it back on. The Faerie will give you a Faerie Tiara and fly back out the window. Now leave the lighthouse. When you are on the world map Rest and Save. ***************************************************************************** 1k: End of Chapter 1 Levels: Ryu 19; Garr 16; Momo 16; Nina 14; Peco 14 Now go to the field of flowers that is right there. When you do you will be prompted to use Faerie Tiara chose yes, and you will be inside a new land. Go left up the hill and into the small house. 3 Faeries will be inside they will tell you they wanted the lighthouse off because of the monster. Then the faeries will start to fight amongst each other. Then Nina will tell the faeries they will kill the monster for them. The faeries will tell you that the monster only comes out at nightfall. Now leave the house go left then down, and on the beach. You will be prompted if you want to wait for nightfall, choose yes. The screen will shift to nighttime, and Momo will spot a red fin sticking out of the ocean here. Momo suggests getting it when it head sticks out. The screen will go black and you will hear fighting noises followed by a yelp. Then you will see a red dolphin lying on the shore. Now, the dolphin will wake up and Momo will apologize. She thought the dolphin was the monster. The dolphin says it knows nothing about a monster, but Momo thinks that the Faeries might have been afraid of a dolphin. Momo and Nina will go back to the dolphin to find out for sure. When they leave the dolphin will spit on Ryu. Then the dolphin will speak in Australian. You will get a prompt if you didn't understand the dolphin it can be translated into English. Either way the girls and the faeries will show up, and the faeries will tell you that he is the monster. Then the faeries will get mad at the dolphin and call him a dummy. The dolphin doesn't like it and will break his shell and show his true form! ############################################################################# Boss Fight XX Dolphin Form: Defense Difficulty: Easy EXP: 300 Zenny 300: Item: None HP: 1200 Dragon Gene: Thunder + Eldritch Suggested Party: Ryu, Nina, and Momo Special Attacks: Tsunami: Water attack on all Intimidate: Causes you to lose a turn Now this battle should be simple since it does Tsunami a lot but Tsunami isn't that powerful, but you may be forced to cure after a couple of them. Ryu should become the Magical Thunder Dragon. This way he is granted Myollnir, the dolphin is weak towards electricity and this one does 300 HP worth of a damage! Since it takes 10 AP's, you probably will only get 3 turns out of it before it fails to work. When Ryu turns back have him just attack, Nina should use Simoon, and Momo should just attack. ############################################################################# After the battle go to the faeries house, one of them will lay a kiss on Ryu and he will lie unconscience afterwards. The faeries will thank you, and they have no problem with you leaving the lighthouse on any more. Then a new faerie will be born right before your eyes, now with the dolphin gone they can have friends and animals around! Then you will rest in the morning just go back to the flowers the way you came in and you will be back on the world map. Now go back to Rhapala and speak to Beyd the ship has not come back yet, he will tell you to go and see Sinkar, Shadis' father he will probably let you use a road. Go to the Inn and down the stairs and speak to Sinkar. Sinkar will tell you about an old guild shortcut, this shortcut goes through the volcano. He will then give you a letter to show to the guards that there so they will let you through, then he will tell you it's located in Mt. Zublo. Leave Rhapala, Save at camp and go to Mt. Zublo. When you are inside go up then make a right then go up the stairs. Then follow the path until you reach a cave go inside. Go right then go down until you reach a four-way fork. Then take the left path, then go down and make right into a hole in wall. Now go right then go strait down, you will probably get hit on with the lava on the way down. Then go right then go up and up the stairs and make a right into the whole in the wall. Now go right then down then follow the path, until you reach a fork keep going right. Until you can walk on to the lower level with the lava when you can put Ryu in the lead and have him walk left and get the dragon chrysm. It's the Miracle Gene, then go down and get the treasure its Flame Talons. Now get back to safe ground and cure Ryu. How go back and when you reach the fork go down. Make a right and an old man will come out of the cave he will think you followed him here. Then he will summon two dragons from the lava and fight you! ############################################################################# Boss Fight XXI Gisshan, Charyb, Scylla Form: Defense Difficulty: Hard EXP: 500 Zenny 1000: Item: None HP: Gisshan 800; Charyb; 1100, Scylla 1100 Dragon Gene: Frost + Eldritch Suggested Party: Ryu, Momo, Garr Special Attacks: Sleep: Puts party to sleep Snap: Attacks one lower defense of one Wall of Fire: Fire attack on one member Vitalize: Medium curing one/all You will want to kill Gisshan first because he will cure his pets, plus he is pretty annoying and as the lowest HP. Ryu should turn into the Magical Frost Dragon, Momo should equip the Ice Chrysm if you didn't sell it. Garr should just attack like normal. As the dragon Ryu should not use Blizzard, just use Ice Claw on Gisshan until he drops. When he is gone if Ryu is still standing as the dragon he should use Blizzard. When Ryu turns back to normal have him cure with items or have him just attack. ############################################################################# After the battle go right and into the hole that Gisshan came out of. Get the treasure containing a life shard on the way out of the cave. Once you are on the world map rest and save. Now, go up and left to the place called Urkan Tapa. Make sure Garr is with you, go in the building to the right and speak to the Priest there. His name is Hondara he is a master if you have learned all of Durandal's techniques he will allow you to be his apprentice. When you are done with him go up the stairs and have Garr push the heavy rock in front of the door. Speak to the old man he will tell Garr to go to Angel Tower and join his comrades. Explore the town find the weapon shop and buy new weapons as much as you can afford plus some items. You will find out that everyone here knows "The Guardian" which is Garr. You will also find a pretty cool statue of a guy who looks exactly like Garr. (It's not Garr, look at the nose, and he doesn't have the chain and some other things). When you are done go out of Urkan Tapa and you will be automatically in camp Garr and Ryu will be up and next to the fire. Garr will tell you more, he is an Urkan Warrior, also called a Guardian. He also tells you some more things and then you will be back on the world map. Set up came for real rest and save. Now go to Angel Tower, go up the stairs and make a right when you see the broken side. Jump down until you reach the ground. You will see stairs going up and going down. Go down the stairs and see a naked woman in a forcefield, but for now just go up the stairs. Then go through the opening in the wall. Go down the stairs make a right and go down the stairs. Then make a right and then go down and up the stairs, then go down. Then make a right and go through the door. Then go up and then down the stairs. Here you will have to position the two blocks that are near the plat form with the stairs to connect with the other side. Then you have to push the other block so it will connect to allow you to go down the stairs. First push the block near the stairs up, then go down, push the block there all the way to the wall. Have Garr get behind it and push it to the right until half of it its on the opening on the right. Then push the block up, then have Garr get on the left side and push the block to the left, the block is in it's original spot. Now go back to the left and push the block there down until it touches the wall. Now go back to the second block and push it until it touches the platform with the stair. Have Ryu slide through the space between the two blocks and then switch to Garr. Have Garr push the block until it touches the wall there then come back and push the block into position. Then have Garr come back around to the stairs climb up them and you will then have access to go down the stairs, on the platforms. When you go down the stairs Garr will tell Nina to go back him and Ryu need to be alone. Now go left and you will see a monument with plaques, each plaque has a name of a guardian and a number. The one on the left has Garr 299. Garr will then tell you, that those are the other 3 Guardians also known as Dragon Slayers! The number is the number of dragons each killed during the war. Garr will tell you more about the war and then he will want to kill the final Brood. ############################################################################# Boss Fight XXII Garr 2 Form: N/A Difficulty: Easy EXP: 400 Zenny 0: Item: None HP: 380 Dragon Gene: Frost + Eldritch Special Attacks: Fireblast: Medium Fire attack Garr can be killed easily. While using the magic frost dragon use Blizzard it will do a lot of damage, or you can just use the Frost Claw. Either one is pretty powerful. Garr use's the Fireblast like once because of his low AP. So just take advantage of his slow ass, when you become a boy again just attack him. He isn't very strong either. ############################################################################# After the battle Garr realizes he can't beat the true power of the Brood. Garr want's to be finished off by Ryu, but a voice will scream no. Ryu will flash and become a huge dragon, Garr will recognize it as the Kaiser Dragon. The Kaiser will disappear and a bunch of rocks will fall on Garr. Ryu will be walking alone, and the man from Ryu's dream in the beginning of the game will try to talk to him, then Ryu will become a green dragon. This will end chapter one... ============================================================================= %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% %CHAPTER 2: ADULT% %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% ***************************************************************************** 2a: Getting Started A dragon will be running around the mines like in the begging of the game. This time Garr will be chasing it. Garr will get it down by hitting it with his spear. The dragon will flash and become a man. It's Ryu! He's all grown up he is also naked. Garr will tell him he vanished for years. Then Garr will ask for Ryu's forgiveness pick whichever you want. Garr has brought Ryu some clothing. Then the screen will fade and Ryu will be dressed. When you gain control go down then go right, then go up and right, and out of the room. Garr will be there and he will realize that Ryu was just like all the brood he thought 400 years ago. Garr wants to know why was their a war, and he wants Ryu to let him live until he finds out the answer to the question. Now Garr will join you, by the way Ryu came in for me as level 20. Garr came in at level 17. Go right then go all the way down and then make a left. Go in the room then go down and left. Then go up, ride the lift to the B2. Garr will ask Ryu if this is where he was born. The strong Aura of the Brood must have brought Ryu to life. Go down and make a right and save at the diary. Now go back out of the room go down until you reach the area with the tracks. First pull the blue switch and have Garr push the cart. The cart will go around and land at a dead end. Now follow the tracks and flip the lever there and have Garr push the cart again, it will go back to where it was when you fount it. Now have Garr push it again, follow where it went don't hit any switches and have Garr push it again and it will destroy the rock. Garr will say that's there way out, but a black mist will appear. The black smoke will ask Ryu why is he allowing Garr to live. Then a puddle of blood will appear. Then a Dragon Zombie will appear where the smoke was. Then the Dragon Zombie will want to know where Garr is taking Ryu. Garr tells him to meet God, because Garr and Ryu want to know the truth. Then the Dragon Zombie will demand Ryu to kill Garr. Ryu will refuse, and then the Dragon Zombie doesn't understand why he doesn't hate Ryu. Then a voice will say don't hate, and the battle will start. ############################################################################# Boss Fight XXIII D. Zombie Form: Defense Difficulty: Very Hard EXP: 500 Zenny 300: Item: None HP: 2500 Dragon Gene: Defender + Eldritch Special Attacks: Rotten Breath: Poisons All Bone Dance: Attack; Confuses All This is considered one of the hardest battles in the game. Since you only have two slow characters the difficulty increases. Ryu should become the Magical Defense Dragon. Cast Restore on the D.Zombie to do some serious damage to it, I was hitting him for 500 each time. But you will probably only be able to get it off 3 times if you are lucky. If he uses rotten breath don't even bother to waste a panacea or an antidote because he will use it all the time. Garr should only attack, nothing else really works well, and you should cure often whenever needed because his attack it pretty powerful. ############################################################################# After the battle the Dragon Zombie will disappear and become a black ball, it will go to Ryu and become the Shadow Gene. You will see a winged woman appear, she will tell you that he was not a true dragon and point to Ryu and say that's a true dragon. You will get the Fusion Gene, Garr will not understand what that meant and neither does Ryu. When you gain control go back to the room with the diary to rest and save. Then when you get back here go right and through the hole in the wall. Then go right until you reach a fork. Go down then go up the stairs. Then go through the door there and go right until you reach a fork. Go up and right and you will reach a treasure, it's a lion's belt equip it to Ryu. Now go back to the original fork when you came from the hole in the wall and go right. Go in the room there and hit the switch. Hit it twice and the platform will be raised on the outside. Go right and you will be outside, walk a bit and the chief will call to Garr. Garr and Ryu will automatically walk down to where he is. The man will ask about if the dragon is gone. Then he will ask about Ryu, Garr will avoid the subject. Then the man will tell you that the dragon killed a lot of their men. Ryu will drop to one knee, and Garr will say he is probably tired. Now go right and Garr will tell Ryu that he has little control over himself as a dragon. Now keep right and go down and into the first house. The foreman is there, he want's Garr to stay around just incase another dragon appears. Garr says they have to get going and he tells Garr to be safe on Ogre Road a monster is attacking everyone who goes past. He will tell you to check out Syn City for more information. Now when you gain control go into the next house and use the diary there to save. ***************************************************************************** 2b: The Ogre Road Monster Levels: Ryu 21 Garr 17 Now leave the mines and you will be automatically see a scene where Ryu is attacking the miners. Then you will be in camp and Ryu can't sleep. Ryu will go outside and talk to Garr, Garr will tell him that they are going to Angel Tower again to speak to God. Then the screen will go back to the world map. Now go down then make a right to the wall and you will find a hut enter it, then go in the hut. Emitai! Speak to him and he will lay down a fabricated story of the Tournament of Champions how he was the _Mighty_ Emitai and he threw the match to a few kids. If you have 10,000 Zenny which you probably don't you can be his apprentice. When you get it, come back he is a great a master. Now leave the hut and go right towards Syn City, before entering go to the Ring of Flowers, and to the Faerie Realm. Speak to Cadis the Faerie in charge, and she'll tell you that they are having trouble here. They can't run themselves, and they may die without your help. To find out how to help the Faeries read my Faerie section. When you are situated leave this place. Then go left into Syn City. You can get some new weapons for Ryu and Garr here, so purchase whatever you have the Zenny for. Speak to the dirty bum near the shop, if you have 20 Zenny give it to him, and purchase info about the monster. He will tell you it's a monster that attacks everyone coming out of Syn City. To really learn more go check out Ogre Road for yourself. Go right then down, and set up camp right before Ogre Road, Rest and Save then go into Ogre Road. Now go down and follow along the path until you reach a fork, go down and you will see a black blur. Then a huge Tiger will show up! ############################################################################# Boss Fight XXIV Weretigr Form: Defense Difficulty: Intermediate EXP: 0 Zenny 0: Item: None HP: 930 Dragon Gene: Shadow + Reverse + Defense Special Attacks: Snap: Attack's lowers Defense Focus: Raises Strength This battle isn't too difficult, although the Weretiger is pretty fast, but it doesn't have the strength of Ryu or Garr. Ryu should become the Holy Dragon, and use Shining Claw. Weretiger will not do much damage to Ryu as a dragon, but after some blows Garr will become weak, so have him cure himself. Garr should just attack, and eventually the battle will be over. ############################################################################# Now go down and you will be on the world map Rest and Save. Then go down and right and go into Mt. Levett. Once inside go right then up the hill. Make a left at the fork. Then just follow along the path and you will eventually be outside on the other side of the mountain. Now you will be near the Yraall Road. Then go in the Yraall Road and the guards will be there, they are investigating someone who was selling goods from the farm here to Syn City. Garr will suggest just staying in McNeil until it's over. Garr will suggest staying at the Inn for a little while. The woman who runs it will be outside, you can check out the village first, and that Loki is still around. Then go speak to the woman who runs the Inn. She will tell you that McNeil Village has had some problems lately, like the weretiger attacking people. She will tell you that the Weretiger ran injured into the woods, and Garr will think it's probably the same tiger they fought earlier. She will give you a free room if you kill the Weretiger. After the rest Save here, and leave McNeil and go into the Cedar Woods. Go back to the screen where your treehouse to be. You will see a scene where Rei is looking for Ryu and Teepo in the river next to the house after the fight with Balio and Sunder. Walk a bit and you will hear the Weretiger roar Ryu will want to go alone from this point. Now go up along the path, and you will hear some more roars. Doesn't that just beat all? The weretiger was Rei! Rei will recognize Ryu! Rei will be surprised that you were able to beat him on the Ogre Road and Rei didn't even hold back. He is glad that at least Ryu is still alive. Rei will tell you what he did when he thought the two men killed his brothers. He fount out they was from Syn City. He stayed along the road watching people coming out of Syn City, trying to find where those guys went and to kill them. He was so mad he began attacking everyone along the road for years. He still feels that Teepo was not avenged and will jump away. When you gain control go back to Garr and Ryu will tell Garr that he knows the weretiger and he went to the village. Now go back to McNeil and you will see your old friend Loki all torn up. People will say something ran by and attacked him. Now go to the farm and towards McNeil Manor, Garr will understand why Rei want's revenge and then he will ask Ryu why he doesn't. Then the screen will show McNeil all tied up, and soldiers escorting him out, a woman will be with the soldiers. She will tell them to arrest McNeil and she knows about men like Balio and Sunder, and Garr will say they are dead. It's Nina! She will recognize Garr and Ryu. Garr will tell her to send the mayor off to Wyndia, so they can go talk. Then the 3 will be sitting in the little field outside of the Manor, Garr will tell her what happened at Angel Tower. After hearing it they will ponder about the brood but for now Nina wants to go to Syn City. When you gain control go right and you will see Rei's shadow and hear a roar. Now leave and go back to the world map, go to Yraall Road. They're still not letting you through so go to Mt. Levett, when you are through there go to Syn City. Nina will feel something is wrong and Garr will smell blood. Check out the people it seems that Rei has attacked everyone. Now speak to the man lying on the ground at the entrance to the headquarters, sell him a healing herb and walk into the headquarters. Get the treasure there and speak to the man against the wall. He will tell you some monster was looking for the boss, but he went to the checkpoint to the north a long time ago. Now leave the headquarters, Garr will come to the assumption that Rei is still trying to make up for the past. Now leave Syn City, Rest and Save on the world map and head to the checkpoint. When you enter you will a blur then the weretiger. He will turn back into Rei, Rei will throw a knife at Don Mikba. Mikba will leave Rei alone if he just leaves him alone. Rei will slash Mikba, and then Ryu will show up. Rei will still feel bad about Teepo meanwhile Mikba will become a monster. He will knock Rei out, and then you will get a party prompt, make the Party Ryu, Garr, and Rei, chose Defense as the form. Mikba will recognize Ryu's name as the one who killed Balio and Sunder! ############################################################################# Boss Fight XXV Mikba Form: Defense Difficulty: Very Hard EXP: 1000 Zenny 3000: Item: None HP: 2400 Dragon Gene: Not Recommended Suggested Party: Ryu, Garr, and Rei Special Attacks: Venom Breath: Poisons the entire party Resists: Blocks all magic Quake: Earth Magic whole party Multistrike: An attack attacks one 3 times or less. Lucky Strike: Powerful attack First you will want to revive Rei, have Ryu give him an Ammonia, and Garr give him a Vitamin. On the next round Rei will automatically become a Weretiger. Ryu should NOT become a dragon, he will need his AP to heal Rei. Because Mikba hit's hard. Like the D.Zombie don't bother wasting turns getting rid of the poison. Garr should just attack and Ryu should always cure people with items or magic. The only real thing you got to worry about here is the fact that Mikba reprisal's a whole lot. And when you attack you have an 80% chance of him Reprising, and then attacking that person as a normal attack. His attacks are powerful and one attack to anyone and you will need to cure. The Weretiger is imperative to win this battle because it hit's so hard. So your main focus should be keeping it alive. You might want Ryu to use Influence on it because it is berserk and has a 5% chance of attacking you in the battle, which can kill you. ############################################################################# Mikba will laugh at Rei after the battle, and killing him was what Rei is suppose to use the power God gave him for. Also he tells Rei that all this time he has hunted Balio and Sunder, Ryu killed them years ago! Then he will die. Then the screen will shift to everyone standing outside of the checkpoint house. They told Rei what happened at to Ryu after they all splits up. Rei still wants to avenge Teepo and he wants Ryu to come with him to kill McNeil Village. But Rei was just kidding. Rei always thought that the power he had was stronger than anyone was. But then he ran into Ryu and realized his powers are not nearly as great as those Ryu has. Then Garr will lay down the facts on having true power. Then Rei is interested in also going to meet God, because Rei wants to know why he has powers, and why such power exists. Rei will then join the party! Rei joins at level 20. ***************************************************************************** 2c: Investigating the Plant Levels: Ryu 22; Rei 20; Garr 19; Nina 14 Now, go into the checkpoint station and take a healing herb and 80 Zenny from the cabinets. Use Rei to pick the lock to the door, inside you will find a treasure containing a deluxe rod. Now leave set up camp rest and save. Go all the way to Wyndia the investigation of McNeil is over so the path is not blocked. When you hit Egynok road a scene will start. Garr will mention they will need a new passport to get to the East. Nina will tell you that she probably won't be able to go with you this time. Besides the king blames Ryu for her running away the first time, Nina comes up with an idea. She thinks since Ryu helped in getting rid of Syn City and if he comes with her to investigate the plant that then the king will forgive him. Now go back on the world map, and go to Genmel. See Fahl if you still have Garr apprenticed under him. Also get some items while you are in Genmel then go to the plant. Go to where Palet use to be and you will find Momo! Honey will recognize Ryu and try and get her attention. Momo will not recognize Ryu, then Honey will tell Momo that Ryu has come back. She will be surprised that Ryu is alive but she will speak with you when she is done fixing the machine. Then the screen will shift to the upstairs part of the Inn, Ryu and Nina will update Momo of the events that occurred after the split up at Angel Tower. Momo want's to know more but Nina is more concerned with the problems at the plant. Momo will tell you that Palet is missing. Because of this the plant is having a lot of problems, Momo may know where Palet has went. Then Momo will join the party; she comes in at the same level you left her as. Leave the Inn and Nina will be interested in what happened to Momo. After the Angel Tower incident Momo took Peco back to the Tower to study him. Then she couldn't handle it so she thought that maybe Palet could help her. Ryu and Nina will be surprised that Peco is still around, Momo will tell you about the Yggdrasil to the east is where Peco spends all of his time now. Now leave the plant and go right to the tree with ? over it. Here you will find Peco and some animals staring at the Yggdrasil. You will get a brief history of the Yggdrasil Tree. Doesn't that just beat all? Peco hasn't changed! Peco still speaks in gibberish as well. Anyhow he will join your party, he will come in at the same level you left him on. Now arrange the party anyway you like for now, and when you are done have Peco check the Yggdrasil. The Yggdrasil can speak to Peco, it will tell Peco that it's in pain and needs something to help it. If you have a wisdom fruit on you the Yggdrasil will become a master, if you don't when you get one return to the tree. Now go back to the plant and you will realize something is wrong. Speak to the workers they will tell you that the green houses are full of smoke. Now go to the top left area of the plant. Speak to a man there he will tell you that he has gathered some stones and he was going to throw them into the windows to break the glass on the greenhouses. You must have Peco in the party to do this, agree to help the man. Have Peco push the rock to the X. Then go to the left, then try not to break your speed run up and the rock will break the window and release the gas. Now go back across the conveur. This one here is easy; all you have to do is push it to the edge. Get a run start and it will break through. After that the whole place will begin to shake. Then some green smoke will come out of the furnace. If you don't have Momo in your party you will need her so go back out and come back with her then go into the furnace. Take a protein and a healing herb from the cabinet. Then have Momo use her bazooka to blow off the door to the furnace. She will notice a ladder and decide to check out the place. Momo will be excited by all the machinery here and think that this is some type of secret laboratory. When you gain control go right and then go up and then go through the door. You will be in a room with 4 computers. Have Momo check the computer with the 1 on it. Then she will remember a door here that had a 1 on it, plus they will need a password. By having a password and putting it into the computer the door will open. Momo will type in Palet and the door will open. Before going there go check the door behind you and you will find a bed rest and save here. When you are done leave this room and the computer room. Then go down and make a left all the way and go through the 1 door. Then you will be in a room with a lot of different number doors go left and go through the other 1 door. When you get in go down the stairs and get the ammonia from the cabinet. Then go down the flight of stairs here as well. You will be in a room full of chrysm poison. If you stay too long you will automatically leave the room because of the poison is too much. When you get in the room go up and then check the last square of plants you'll see that plants were called REPSOL. This is a password so leave this place and go all the way back to the computer room. Have Momo go to the 2 Computer, and the password will open the 2 door. Now go to the room with all the number doors in it. Go through the 2 door, go up then left and down the stairs. Go right and on to the pipe, keep right and you will find a dragon chrysm. It's the Force Gene, now go back out and get off the pipe, go around the pipe and you will find a memo on the floor. It will talk about experiment AA. AA is another password, go down and hit the switch to the conveur belt. Then go through the door. Get the treasure on the right its Sleep Shells. Equip these to Momo. Then go over the conveur belt. Now go right and you will be back in the computer room. Have Momo check the 3 Computer, she will put in AA and it will open the 3 door. Now go back to the room with the numbered doors and go through the 3 door. When you get in go up then go right and then go left near the door. Some chrysm gas will be leaking out. Now go in this room, here you will find a mutant! ############################################################################# Boss Fight XXVI HugeSlug Form: Attack Ryu leads Difficulty: Easy EXP: 700 Zenny 300: Item: None HP: 2500 Dragon Gene: Flame + Miracle Suggested Party: Ryu, Momo, and Peco Special Attacks: Syphon: Takes hp from user and turns it into it's own HP. Molasses: Lowers speed of user Quake: Earth Magic to all First thing you do is have Ryu become the Fire Behemoth. Then after that use Flame Claw, this will take away 600 HP's off his life. Do this for like 4 rounds and he is toast, no need to worry about any of his magic because they won't do much to the Flame Behemoth. You may have noticed that he has a protective coating one magic attack removes that so he is susceptible to fire, and he can't evade as much. ############################################################################# After the battle go out of the room then go left and up the stairs. Read the book it will tell you to arrange the numbers in order. After you copy down the 5 numbers go back to the computer room. The password is 1-3-2-5-4 this will open the 4 door. Now go to the bedroom and rest and save. Then go through the door there on the right, then go strait and up the ladder. Then go through the 4 door. Make a right and go on the pipe, then go up and get the treasure it's wisdom ring. Equip this to Ryu, then go right then go down the ladder. Now go strait and you will see Palet. Palet will be talking about reviving his dead mother, using an elixir made from Chrysm Ore and Yggdrasil sap. Palet will pull the switch to start the process, then he will talk about how he perfected the technique so his mother won't be a mutant or an ugly onion. Momo and company will come to where Palet is. Of course Palet will lie to Momo, Momo will blame Palet for all the monsters. Palet will then tell Momo that her father Repsol was the one who created the machine and the idea. He wanted to use the machine to bring Momo's dead mother back to life. Repsol canceled the study and the experiments because it defied the laws of nature. Palet doesn't think it's wrong and thinks it's a good idea. He doesn't care about the laws of nature he just wants his mother back to life. Then Palet will drink the elixir to become a mutant and to protect his mother because he doesn't want to be stopped. ############################################################################# Boss Fight XXVII Shroom Form: Defense Difficulty: Hard EXP: 1300 Zenny 300: Item: None HP: 2600-2900? Dragon Gene: Fusion (Momo Hybrid) Suggested Party: Ryu, Momo, Peco Special Attacks: Ragnarok: Major Earth damage to all Lava Burst: Medium Fire damage to all Head Cracker: 3x attack, major damage Restore: Major curing/one member Blitz: Defense ignoring attack on all/based on HP, drains half HP away Momo and Peco should try and say alive, While Ryu uses Fusion to become the Momo Hybrid Dragon. Use combustion as this hybrid this takes off about 500 HP each time used. If used every round he should die in 5-6 rounds. The main difficulty is magic like Ragnarok and Lava Burst. If Momo and Peco are not fully cured then they will die, and if they die no one is around the keep Ryu's Hp up, and since the Momo Hybrid doesn't have much HP. (around the same as Ryu had in my game) It can die pretty easily as well. -~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~- Alternate Shroom Strategy: By: Zero One Starting off the fight, I used Momo to cast her Might spell on Ryu to bring up his attack power. My current tactic was attack with Ryu as the lead member. Peco at that time for me, was very low on levels so i told him to defend. I told Ryu to use his shield spell to raise all of the party's defense. On the second turn, I told Momo to cast Speed on Ryu. Peco to defend. And Ryu to use the accession with the combination above. He transformed into the Behemoth. This cause Momo and Peco to leave the screen so I no longer had to worry about them. On the next turn, I told Ryu to use hone of his Dragon Abilities, Focus also to raise his attack power. On that same turn, Shroom attacked Ryu and he Reprisaled with a Critical doing 1477 damage. The next turn I put Ryu on auto attack using the L1 button. He attacked doing 350 damage or so. And once again Reprisaled doing about 450 damage. Since the behemoth has about 450 health. You won't have to worry about him dying. you just have to watch the ap. So, I greatly recommend this tactic, because with the Hybrid, you still have to worry about Momo and Peco who die real easily. -~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~- ############################################################################# After the fight Momo will really be thinking about all the stuff he said, but she will be happy that they got rid of Repsol. Check the cabinet on the other side of the room to get 400 Zenny. Then hit the blue lever to let Repsol's mother finally Rest In Peace. Go back to the bed room to rest and save and make your way out of the furnace and out of the plant. You will automatically be back in camp, Nina will thank Momo for her help in closing down the plant. Momo realized it would have been done sooner or later. Then Momo will talk about her father, stopped for a good reason, even though he loved her mother he couldn't go on with it. Then Momo will decide to go east with Ryu, because there is nothing left for her here. ***************************************************************************** 2d: Runaway Princess and the Guardian Levels: Ryu 24; Rei 20; Garr 19; Momo 18; Peco 16; Nina 14 Now when you gain control head for Wyndia, when you get there Ryu Rei and Nina will be together. Nina will tell Rei to come with her to the castle, and tell Ryu to go back to camp. She says this because her father thinks he kidnapped when she ran away from the castle. Plus since she didn't know Rei as a child nor did the king he will look like another guy and not part of the gang that brought her back the first time. Now go to the castle, the gatekeeper will let you in. Nina and Rei will be kneeled before the king. Nina will tell Daddy Dearest that she has busted up the Syn City crime organization. She has also shut the plant down. She couldn't do it without the help of her tailed friend here. The king will thank Rei and the king knows Rei need a passport to go east, so the king will get one made immediately. Meantime Nina will give Rei a tour of the castle! Now loot the place for items if you failed to do so on your first trip inside the castle. When you are ready to proceed with the game go down the stairs. Nina will tell you that the dungeon is nearby and she will tell you Ryu was once in the dungeon. You will find Honey following you. Nina will tell you about how honey jumped off the balcony and that helped her escape the first time. Now go in the dungeon that previously locked door with the frog in it is now open! Go in there and get the treasure. When you are ready to proceed with the game go up the stairs. Then go to Nina's mother room. Nina's mother room is on the left staircase. Have Nina speak to her mother Sheila. Sheila will tell Nina that she is important, and she needs to stay in the castle more and take care of her. She will thank Rei for going through the trouble. Now go downstairs and Nina will wonder if the passport is ready. Then you will be with the king and the king has the passport. He will give it to Rei. He wants Rei to stay and eat with him. But Nina urges Rei on, Nina then tell Rei he better leave before they find Ryu and the others in camp. Nina will then tell Rei she will have to stay here this time, and then a man will run pass. Then Sheila will stop you, she will ask Rei if he is friend's with Ryu. The guard who ran pass said he saw Rei speaking with the people that accompanied Ryu here the first time. Sheila will call Ryu a con man and a hoodlum. Nina will speak harshly to her mother and defend Ryu. Then Rei will feel that he needs to say something, and he needs to plead Ryu's defense. Then the king wants Rei arrested Rei and Nina will then run away. The guards will block the entrance of the castle. Then Honey will jump out of Nina's pocket and run down the stairs. Nina suggests following Honey because last time she led her out of the castle. Now go down stairs all the way to the storage room with the crates. Honey will go down to the small hallway with the locked room. Now go down the ladder and Honey will be ramming the door, Nina will tell Rei to pick the lock. After Rei does it, Honey will activate the machine there. Then Honey will disappear into the white beam of light. Rei will go back outside and the guards and Sheila will be blocking the way back upstairs. Sheila will demand for Nina to stay in the castle, but Nina tells her she has to go. Then go and run into the light and you will disappear like Honey did. You will be in a new place. When you gain control go up the ladder and out of the door, you are right outside of the castle in Durandal's house! Now leave here and you will automatically be back in camp. Rei and Nina will tell the others what happened at the castle. Then you will hear the rest music and get a party prompt chose who you like. Now you will be outside of the castle so head for the checkpoint. When you get there will be no trouble letting you past so head over the bridge and you will be in the Rhapala region. Now go to Rhapala if you want it's not necessary now, but you can see that Shadis and Beyd are still there. Shadis had a baby! She can't help you right now and neither can Beyd so speak to the people here. According to them the ship has broke down and you have to take the road if you want to get over to the Urkan side. Well leave here and you will find out that the road is repaired! When you get over to the Urkan side go to Angel Tower. Make sure Garr is in the party. The guards there will allow Garr through, then Garr will tell you why it is important that guardians go and speak to Garr. After the war and after they feel all evil is out of the world. They must speak to God and enter the Stone Sleep. Then Garr will begin to pray, a voice will say that god won't come. The naked woman will show up instead she will tell you she needs to be freed in order to speak with God. Doesn't that just beat all? You need to find Guardian Gaist to free her! The others will ask Garr what happens and he tells them that he needs to find Guardian Gaist. Garr will tell you that they should go to Urkan Tapa to find out more. Now go to Urkan Tapa and speak to Sudama the old meditating man. Garr will tell Sudama that he didn't see God. Sudama will simply tell Garr that he has doubts so God won't appear. Garr will then ask Sudama if he knows where Gaist is. Sudama will tell him he is in a cave to the west. Now stock up on items while here then leave Urkan Tapa. Now when on the world map go down and left and enter Tidal Flats. Walk pass the Manillo and he will tell you that if you are quick you can be in and out before the tide changes. Then the tide will go down, so enter the cave. Once inside go up and make a right, follow along the path make a left then go up. Then follow along that path and make a right at the fork. If the tide changes wait for it to go back down then continue. When it does go down the ladder then go right and follow along the path and you will find a Thunder Ring. Now go back to the ladder and go down another one. Then go down and on a raft. Ride the raft to the lower side, and go down and out of the screen. Then go right and up the incline and you will find the Deadly Blade. Now go back down and into the cave. Now go back across to the other side on the raft. Then make a left and climb up a ladder. Then go down and out of this cave and make a left. You'll find a Dragon Chrysm, it's the Gross Gene! Now keep left and you'll be back on the world map rest and save. Then go to Cliff, you can speak to the deadbeats in Cliff if you chose to they will tell you that the non fighting Guardian is still here. To find him go up, then right up the rock path then keep up and into a small cave and you will find Gaist. Then the screen will shift Garr, Gaist and the others will talk about the war. Then Gaist will want to know why is Ryu here, and why is Garr traveling with a Brood. Garr will tell him, and then Garr will tell Gaist they need his help to free Deis. So he can go and meet God. Gaist will agree to help you but first he has to speak to Ryu alone. Garr and the other person will leave. Gaist will talk to Ryu about how the Guardians kill the Brood. Then he will tell Ryu why he left the war. He couldn't take the killing any more, and he was tired of it and he really didn't care about the war or what God wanted. He just wanted to be his own person. He will then tell Ryu to go and speak with Garr. Now go out and speak to Garr, Garr will tell you that Gaist wants to test Ryu. Then Garr will want to know how serious is Ryu about all of this, does he really want to know the truth or is Ryu just going along and he doesn't really care about God. Tell Garr you want the truth. Then Garr tells you to prepare for Gaist, now leave Cliff Rest and save on the world map. Now go back to the cliff, then go see Gaist, if you are ready tell him you are ready. Then Gaist will tell Ryu to stand in between those two bazaar's, Gaist will absorb the flame and become a huge Guardian! ############################################################################# Boss Fight XXVIII Gaist Torch 2x Form: N/A Difficulty: Intermediate EXP: 1000 Zenny 500: Item: None HP: Gaist 2500: Torches: 500 each Dragon Gene: Warrior + Frost, then Defense + Frost Special attacks: Flare: Minor Fire Damage Corona: Major Fire Damage based on HP? Risky Blow: Critical hit; misses a lot You should become the Frost Warrior, first and take out the torches with two Frost Claw's. Then quickly Restore form. On your next turn, turn into the Frost Dragon. You should do this because he can kill the Frost Warrior pretty easily because Gaist is powerful, and the Frost Warrior has lower HP and Defense than the Frost Dragon. As the Frost Dragon you should use all Frost Claws. It may take quite a few rounds but eventually he will fall to them. Corona may kill you as a dragon, if you are weak and since you can't cure yourself in dragon form it makes it a little more difficult. But I don't think curing will be really necessary. ############################################################################# After the battle Gaist will tell you that he had to die to break Deis's seal. Then Gaist will do some typical final words talk and be glad he died to a brood since he took the lives of so many. He will be breathing heavy when Garr and the other member walk in. Gaist will say his final words to Garr and become sand. Now Garr suggests leaving and going to see Deis so they can free her and meet God. When you gain control check the sand for a Beast Spear. This is Garr's best weapon. Now leave Cliff, rest and save on the world map. ***************************************************************************** 2e: Getting a Boat Levels: Ryu 26; Rei 20; Garr 19; Momo 18; Peco 17; Nina 17 Now go to Angel Tower and find the room where Deis was in. You may remember it, it was the down stairs room, before entering the side. The pyramid around her will spin and then disappear, she will stand. She will tell Garr to come over, she will then beat Garr up :) She will be mad that Garr had her trapped down here for 500 years and she will punch Garr in the nuts again. Then you will see a scene from the past where Garr and Gaist were killing dragons. Deis will show up and will want them to stop killing the dragons but Garr only answers to God. Then you will be brought back to Angel Tower, Ryu is as red as an apple! Garr will want to talk about God but Deis won't want to because the element is too strong here. She tells Garr to meet her at the volcano to the west. Then Deis will disappear, Garr will tell you that she means Mt. Zublo. Now leave the room and leave Angel Tower. Now go to that shrine you may have noticed in front of Mt. Zublo on the Rhapala side of it. Have Ryu read the huge plaque on the wall. Then Ryu will be teleported inside, Deis will be in the half snake half woman form. She will tell you that the naked form was to imprison her powers. Make sure to tell her you like her better as the snake, this will make Deis blush :) Then Garr will be brought into the room. Then Garr will want to know when he will be able to see his God. Deis will show you by opening Ryu's Dragon Eye. After some flashy magic a beam will appear over Ryu and point to the north. She will tell you that God is far away to the north. So far it's across the sea! At this point Deis is too weak to teleport you across the sea herself. She will then teleport Ryu out of the room, and then she will ask Garr to protect Ryu. Garr will swear to protect Ryu. Then she will teleport Garr away, she is out of wind from doing all that magic. Then you will be on the other side and Nina will be waiting there. Nina will want to know everything that happened if they met God in there. Garr will tell her the gist of it. Now leave here and save on the world map. Now go to Rhapala. Speak to Shadis she will tell you that Beyd went to Junk Town to get the boat back. Now go back to the Urkan Region speak, Junk Town if you don't know is directly north of Urkan Tapa. When you get there get some new weapons and new items if you want. When you are done go down and you will find Beyd. Go there and a conversation will start Beyd will explain who he is and they will let him through. Follow Beyd through and you will be on the world map. Now go down to the Dock enter it. Then go down near the boat and you'll see Beyd again. They will tell Beyd they don't have enough parts to fix the boat right now. They didn't know he was coming so they didn't get around to finding the parts. Then Ryu and the others will come down and Beyd will turn around and recognize Ryu. Beyd will be glad to see Ryu again but he will want to know why Ryu is here. Ryu will tell him he needs a boat, but again the boat is not ready so there isn't much Beyd can do. If you have Momo in the party have her speak to Beyd, he will remember Momo is an engineer. Then Momo will speak to the engineer of the boat and she will offer to look at the engine for them. Momo will check out the engine and she will know what's wrong. She will give you a memo, which shows you the parts you need to fix the engine. When you gain control leave the boat and the watchman will stop you. He will tell you to speak to the machine guild guildmaster before going to search for parts. Go back to Junk Town. Go to the second house on the left from the lower exit of the town. The man on the other side of the table is the guildmaster. He doesn't really care if you go and look for parts even though that is supposed to be work for guild members. Now leave here and go to Steel Beach make sure you have Garr in the party. The man there will try and stop you but he will let you through. Once inside the actual beach area go up and then right and you will find a dragon chrysm. The Mutant Gene! Now speak go left and speak to the big guy with the beard. He is the foreman he will tell you that only the best fighters of the machine guild are allowed to go into the freighter. He see's Garr is buff so he decides to test his strength! #################### Mini Game IV Tug Rope The idea is simple when the monkey lifts the white flag the Foreman pulls his rope. When the monkey lifts the red flag Garr tugs his rope. If he lifts both flags then both tug the ropes. You have to make sure you are hitting the X button fast, and only hit it at the proper time and when the proper flag is up. If you hit X while the white flag is up then you will mess up. Always make sure you stay within two meters of the foreman either way. So if he has 12.50M Garr should have no less than 10.50M and no more than 14.50M. When you get down to about 4 meters it will be over. #################### After the game the foreman can tell you have something huge on the rope. It's a huge fish monster the monkey and the Foreman will run away! ############################################################################# Boss Fight XXIX Angler Form: Normal Difficulty: Intermediate EXP: 1000 Zenny 200: Item: None HP: 2800 Dragon Gene: Any except Thunder Gene. Suggested Party: Ryu, Rei, Garr Special Attacks: Venom Breath: Poisons entire Party. Thunder Clap: Thunder magic on one; Major Damage This boss shouldn't be too difficult, turn Rei into the Weretiger. You should motivate Rei to the Angler as the Weretiger. Ryu should be any dragon or warrior of any element except Thunder since angler is thunder based. Garr should just attack. The only thing you really need to worry about is the Thunder Clap because it takes off a lot of HP. But someone should have the Thunder Ring equipped, and hopefully one of these guys has the Thunder Ring. ############################################################################# The Foreman will be very impressed by this and he will allow you access to the freighter. When you gain control go up and check the circle thing. That is part A, now scour the beach for parts press X everywhere. If you did got everything on the beach you should have: Part A,H,B,G and F. Take these parts back to Momo she is on the boat in the engine room. Only 3 of these will be of use to her. Now go back to the beach and to the upperleft in the freighter. When you are inside check near the top of the divider there for Part D. Then keep going strait and you will find Part B. Now go back and down the stairs then down the ladders. When you are down on the floor go left and you will find part D.. Then go down and around the back of the divider and you will find Part C. Now go back on the other side of the divider and hit the lever until it's lever will the two sides. Do the same for the other lever near the back of the place. Before going on them go on the left side near the crates and you'll find a part C. Then behind the crate on the right side you'll find the Robe of Wind. Then check right next to it and you'll find Part E. Now go back to near the first divider and you'll find Part H. Return to the first ladder and go up it. Go around the girders for a Part A. Now keep going on the girders on the right you'll find another Part C. Now go back to the ladder and get off the girders. Then go to the middle lever and search around it for a Part G. Now lower the girder Then go around to the ladder and get on the girders again. You were suppose to lower the girder low enough so it would be parallel with the lower crate if you did then you will get Part F.. That's all the parts now go back out of the freighter and go see Momo, she is still at the ship in the dock. You might as well give her everything. She will be glad you have all the parts, Beyd will suggests to Ryu that they go back to the bridge. Ryu will be pacing and Momo will tell you from the engine room to start the engine. The parts worked Momo fixed it! Now the ship will be moving, Beyd will tell you he has to return to Rhapala first then you can use the ship as much as you want! He will tell you to relax for now. Now go and speak to everyone and speak to Nina who is on the outside part of the boat. Nina will be talking about the wind, and then you will see a scene where Beyd is asking one of the sailors what happened to the ship this time. Then you will go back to Ryu and Nina. Nina will notice something out in the ocean, and then you will be brought back to Beyd and the sailor. The sailor will tell Beyd that the Black Ship hit the boat! Then you will be brought back to Nina and Ryu; Nina will see a huge ship out in the distance. Then you will be back with Beyd and the Sailor, Beyd won't believe it because the Black Ship only travels in the outer ocean and is too large to travel the middle sea. Finally you will end up in Rhapala. ***************************************************************************** 2f: Finding a way across the ocean Levels: Ryu 26; Rei 21; Garr; 20 Momo 18; Peco 17; Nina 17; Now Beyd will let you have the ship and two sailors who can take you anywhere you want to go. Then someone will yell wait! Then Zig will show up, he will want to be the pilot of your ship. He wants to show you that he has what it takes, and that he is the best sailor there. Beyd will agree to let Zig pilot your ship. Zig will wait until you are ready so go to the Inn or the world map to Save. Now go back to the wharf and get on the boat speak to Zig and tell him you are ready to leave, you will see the boat pull away from the harbor. He will then ask Ryu where he wants to go, Ryu will tell him he is planning on going to the outer ocean. At first Zig will be shocked but Zig feels he is capable of taking you there. But first Ryu should go talk this type of move over with his friends. Now go around the boat speaking to everyone and when you are ready go back to Zig in the deck. Tell him you are ready and since he is the best sailor in the world he will be able to get you across. Now you will be able to control the boat your self. The controls are pretty simple, move the boat with the D-pad and then hold O if you want to boat to go really fast but this puts pressure on the engine. If the engine overheats you will be forced to wait a few seconds. For now just go up and the boat will drift to the darker blue outer ocean. The boat will be shaking pretty badly at first then you will see the boat going over some very powerful waves. The waves will be too powerful and the boat will be swaying back and forth. Zig will be forced to go back to the Middle Sea. Zig didn't imagine that the outer ocean would be that powerful, Zig says that will be impossible to get across in this boat. Nina will want to know if it's possible at all to make it across the sea. Then Zig will mention the Legendary Mariner. Zig will tell you that the sailors have a legend about a man who made it from the outer ocean to the inner ocean. Nina will want to know more but sadly that's all Zig knows about it. Zig tells you there is a town here called Parch and the mayor there knows about the Legendary Mariner. If you are ready speak to Zig go to the upper right part of the inner sea and enter Parch. First when you enter go to the building on the right side of town that has inn weapons and items on it. Get some new fishing gear and a weapon for someone. When you are done go to the right side of the town, that's the mayor's house. The mayor is not speaking to anyone about anything because he hates fish. He won't touch it because it recently made him sick. You will find out he is from Central Wyndia and not even a real live Wyndian Princess can cheer him up. Since he hates fish right now the woman there suggests getting food from his home in Maekyss. Well right now leave Parch and dock in Rhapala, leave Rhapala. Now head over to Mt. Zublo to go and see Deis she is better now so she will allow visitors. Have Ryu speak to her, she wants to be called Ma'am, so chose Yes Ma'am and she will become a master! Apprentice Ryu to her, for right now. Now leave here and go to the Wyndia Region then go to Wyndia. The 4 hide and seek kids are still here. But they are all adults and they are all around Ryu's age. Speak to the tall balding guy, he is the leader Bais. He will tell you they still play hide and seek and will want to know if you will play hide and seek with them once more. Chose to play hide and seek, this time they all won't hide in Wyndia but all around the world! Each one will give you a hint, and then tell him you are ready. Then the screen will flash and all of them will disappear. Here are their locations: Lang: Behind the second tombstone on the left in Wyndia Family Crypt. Lee: Behind the left wall of the Wyndia checkpoint. Wynn: Side of the first house on the bottom of Junk Town. Bais: Dauna Mines, B3, near the place where Ryu was born. When you find all four return to Wyndia the big prize for finding them all? 4 New masters... not very cool but 3 of them teach you new forms. When you are ready to proceed with the game go to the Maekyss Gorge. Go to the house where you fount the Frost Gene near. Go inside and speak to the woman, she will tell you about the delicacy here is Shishu. She will then tell you that Shishu is perfect for a guy who hates fish, since it doesn't taste like fish. You will need Mackerel, Shaly Seeds, Vinegar and Horseradish. Here are the basic locations of the stuff. Mackerel: Catch it in Maekyss River Shaly Seeds: Tree near the Maekyss House Vinegar: Coffee Shop Horseradish: Ogre Road. First you will need Peco and Garr in your party, have him hit the tree for until you get some Shaly Seeds. You can keep hitting the tree if you want more Shaly Seeds. Now leave here and you will see a new fishing spot in the Maekyss River. You will find that there are mackerel's in the Maekyss River. You should use the "top" type lure to catch one. You can purchase a Top in Parch. Catch 2 Mackerel's just to be on the safe side. Now go to the coffee shop, and go to the main area then go right and down you will find a cloaked man near a well. Have Garr speak to the cloaked man. A mini game will start! #################### Mini Game V Drawing Water Ok here is the basic idea press triangle about 10-12 time to get the bucket to drop into the water. When you hear the bucket splash toggle the D pad left and right. Keep toggling it until you stop hearing a swishing sound. Now press X the exact number of times you pressed Triangle. Watch Garr when you see him do a "tug" motion, hit X again and then you will have the water. #################### Now that you got the water the cloaked man will give you vinegar! Now time to go across the "world" to Ogre Road. Enter it from the Dauna side, Go to the upper left part near the entrance which is slightly off the road. You'll find a strange green patch of grass. Have Ryu chop down the 3 plants there with his sword and those plants are horseradish! Now leave Ogre Road and go back to Maekyss. Speak to the woman in the house there and she will give you tips on putting it together. She will then offer her recipe for Shishu. This is the recipe, the mackerel is 10, so use 8 shally seeds, 2 vinegar, and 4 horseradish. Now go back to the east and get in the boat and take it to Parch. Save at the inn before going ot the mayor's house just incase you screw up on the Shishu. Speak to the old man in the mayor's house, Ryu will tell him his idea to make Shishu for the mayor. If you follow the woman's recipe, then you will get it right. You can screw up the recipe on purpose if you do then you will see the mayor not want the Shishu. Then Ryu will try it, looked shocked and feint. Well if you got the Shishu right then the mayor will be interested in Shishu. He will eat it and love it. Now the mayor will be willing to speak to Ryu about the Legendary Mariner. Ryu will explain that he needs to get to the other side of the ocean, and he wants to know about the Legendary Mariner. Since you gave the mayor the Shishu he will decide to help you. He will give you some sea charts which if you follow you can beat the waves and make it to where the legendary mariner lives! Now leave Parch and go to the Junk Town Dock. Now get back on the world map, then go up and make a right along the skinny road and go to the ? house there. Speak to the man there if you want. Go in the house check behind the curtain on the right for a dragon gene it's the ??? Gene. Now leave here and go back to the dock. Now get back in the boat and go to the ? spot near the house off the shore. You will be on the ocean you will have to make it around the turns using the small map on the lower right corner. It's pretty simple just go to the upper part, and then go left through the rocks and then keep going left, you'll make it to the house but probably with not much time left. When you get there a parrot will fly on the Legendary Mariner's shoulder and he knows that visitors are here. He will think you are with the guild at first but he still invites you in for Coffee. Nina will ask the Legendary Mariner how to get across the ocean. First the Legendary Mariner will tell you his name is Kukuys. He will then tell you he is not a sailor. He will then tell you no boat made for the Middle Sea could make it across the large ocean. He didn't come here because he wanted to either, he was a castaway from the other side. Doesn't that just beat all? No sailor just some loser from the other side of the ocean who drifted here! He also tells you there is not much of interest on the other side of the Sea. He will tell you there is a way across the sea you will need a certain ship to take you there. Momo will mention the Black Ship. Then the screen will shift to being on the Black ship, you will be right along side of the Black Ship. Momo has an idea, shoot the ship. This of course has no effect to the ship, and the ship has guns! They rotate and detect your boat and shoot it. Zig will get the ship out of there. They now need another plan since obviously that didn't work. Zig will tell you to talk it over with your friends before making a decision. Momo comes up with another plan. She thinks you should ram the ship from behind. Now speak with everyone else then go back to Zig. Ryu will tell Zig what Momo said. At first Zig will be surprised by it, but then he will be willing to ram the ship from behind. Now use the O button to build up enough speed to catch the ship and then ram it. Wait for the ship to turn around so you will be facing the back of it. Then hold O and then you will here a crash. Now Zig will tell you to see if everyone is all right. Check everyone on the ship everyone seems to be shaken up but they are all right. Then you will see a scene with Kukuys' again, he will tell you that the Black Ship is fully automated no one is on board. You have to get to the bridge and program it to go back to the other side of the ocean. Now you will be brought back to current times, Momo figures she can reprogram the ship easily. Then you'll get a party prompt choose Momo and whoever else you want. ***************************************************************************** 2g: Black Ship Levels: Ryu 26; Rei 21; Garr; 20 Momo 18; Peco 17; Nina 17; Now go back into the Guild boat rest and save. Now go onto the Black Ship go up and through the door. Once inside go and then down the stairs on the left. Now go right and then up, ignore the door on the right and then go up and through the door. Now go right and activate the machine chose program 2. Get on the lift and it will stop at a platform get back on the lift, ride it until it takes you to a platform near a door. Get off here go up and through the door. Once you're in the next room go up and get the ID Card from the machine and go back out. Now get back on the lift and ride it back to the first platform, then go back to the control panel. Choose program 3. Ride the lift until it takes you to a lower floor. Now get off the lift and go down through the door. Now go to the panel and turn on the crane. Then go back out to the lift and have it ride you back to the original platform. Now choose program 4, when it takes you to the lower level go down get off and get the treasure it's skill ink. Now go back to the platform and ride it back to the original platform, now leave the room. Now go back to the first room in the black ship. Go in the door. Walk up and hit the button to start the crane. #################### Mini Game VI The Crane It's simple, hold X and the crane will move to the right. Release it to stop the crane from going right, then hold X again and it will go up release X to stop it. You have to get the X right in the middle of the crate to grab it, the crane will automatically take the crate to where it is suppose to go. Get the 3 crates to form a bridge, there is also a crate hiding in-between some larger brown crates. If you can get that then you'll get protectors. #################### Now go right and across the crates go up into the doorway on the right, once inside go up and through the doorway. Now keep going up and on the large crates and get the treasure its Flash Shells. Now go back through the two doors and go strait down through the doorway. Now hit the blue switch and you will be able to walk across the beam and go back to the Guild Boat. Go there Rest and Save and then go back to where the lever was, and go up the stairs to the right of it. Once up there go left and through the door. Once you are inside the room go up and get the treasure its skill ink. Now go back out of the room, right and up and through the first door on the right. Check the cabinet there for ammonia. Now leave and go into the second door on the left check the lower left corner in the room where you can't see, and you will find 2400 Zenny. Leave here go up then right then up the stairs. Put the ID card next the elevator you will automatically ride the elevator to the next floor. Once you are on the next floor go right and up the stairs. Have Momo check the control panel in the room, Momo says she can restart the Ship and make it go back to the north like it was supposed to. But she will need to find out what the boost counter says. She will remember where it is and you will see where it is. It's the 3rd door on the right from the room where you found the ammonia. She needs you to check the counter when she starts it she wants to know when it hits 100. She will remind you the counter will be running while you are going and coming back. So go to the room, and check the counter, then check it again you will hear a beep. It beeps everytime it goes up one number. When it gets to about 60 or so leave the room, and go back to her room, constantly counting the beeps when you go wait in the control room. When you hear the 100th beep, speak to Momo. If you timed it right you will hear the Black Ship start to run. Then you will see Zig in the guild boat he is taking the ship back to the machine guild. Then Momo will call everyone on to the Black Ship. Then you will see Ryu's dragon eye opening, and pointing towards where God is. Then you will see the Black Ship pulling off and leaving. Then Momo will check out the ship and tell everyone that she won't know how long it takes to get over to the other side and you should just relax until you get here. You will see scenes of everyone sort of just lounging around. Then you will see Ryu, Garr, and Rei talking. Garr wants to know why Rei came along. Rei tells him because he wanted to know why powers like his, Mikba's and Ryu existed. Suddenly an alarm will go off. Garr suggest checking out what is the problem. Leave this room and Nina will be out in the hallway she is going to the deck to ask Momo what's going on. Go there and Momo will find the switch for the alarm. She will say something hit the ship and that's why there was an alarm, whatever it is, is on the prow of the ship. She will open a door on the ship that leads to the prow. Nina will mention a locked door near their bedrooms. You will get a party prompt, chose whom you like but I stayed with the default party Ryu, Garr and Rei. When you gain control go down to where the rooms are. In the room where the 2400 Zenny was you will find a diary Save here. Now go down and left and through the door, now go up and through the open door. Once you're inside the next room go right then down and then go through the door. Inside you will find a treasure containing Ivory Dice, now leave the room. Go up and then down the ramp and then up some stairs. Make a left and then down the ladder. Now go down and follow along the path and go through the door, when you enter go right and up the stairs. Then go up and make a left, keep left ignore the stairs and go down. Keep going down and get the treasure containing a soul gem. Now go up then right and down the stairs. Go down then go down another flight of stairs, now go down a ladder. Then go down around the crates and up a ladder, then go up and through the door. Go up the ladder in the next room and you will be on the prow of the ship. When you are out there the ship will start to shake go left and on the edge of the ship a monster will hit it. Doesn't that just beat all? Another monster will appear! The game will suggest pressing right to make it to the middle of the ship, remember only do it when the monsters aren't moving. If you make it to the middle of the ship, the ship will use its self defense lasers! ############################################################################# Boss Fight XXX Ammonite 2X Form: Normal Difficulty: Hard EXP: 3000 Zenny 1000: Item: None HP: 2000 each Dragon Gene: Thunder + Warrior Suggested Party: Ryu, Rei, Garr Special Attacks: Tsunami: Water attack: drains Half Hp. Multistrike: Physical attacks; hits 3 times Blizzard: Major water damage Ice Blast: Medium Water damage First have Ryu become the Thunder Warror. Don't have Rei turn into the Weretiger; he will attack you more if you are facing 2 enemies. So Rei should use lightening, Garr should just attack. If you go t to the middle the gun will shoot them once in a while this does about 60 HP worth of damage but it takes a turn away from one of them so it good for you. When you get one of them defeated the other won't use Tsunami any more. He will switch to using Blizzard which can just about kill, or kill everyone if you are on low HP. Just keep Ryu doing the Thunder Claw on him and they will die pretty quickly because it does major damage. Make sure to feed Ryu any AP restoring items, and make sure Ryu has his HP. You also should revive any one who dies because the battle is much harder with one 1 or 2 members alive. ############################################################################# Don't cure after the battle just walk left and go down the ladder. The ship made it to the other side in a few days without any more problems. ***************************************************************************** 2h: New World Levels: Ryu 28; Rei 23; Garr 22; Momo 18; Peco 17; Nina 17 Now you will see everyone getting off the ship. Everything basically looks like the other side according to first inspection. When you gain control go up you will see that everyone here is dressed like Kukuys! Speak to the people there is a weapon and an item shop here as well. You probably won't be able to buy all the new and great weapons they sell here buy what you can and save some Zenny for some more items. Now leave the town and you will be in camp. Rei Momo and Garr will be talking about the lifeless people in the town. Then Rei will see his own reflection, which is supposed to reflect his inner emotions. It will ask him if he is scared, but he reassures "himself" that he came here on his free will and that being here was better than staying on the other side mugging people on the highway. Now you will see Nina inside the tent talking about how amazing it is she made it to the other side of the ocean. Then she'll see herself; she will wonder about how her family at the castle is worrying about her. But she reassures herself that she is here to be with Ryu to make sure he is all right and that this is more worthwhile than being a princess. Then you will see Momo thinking about the machines, how she will be the fire Engineer to unlock the mystery of where machines come from. Then Momo will see "herself" she will start to think about how her father would feel about her now. Then she will reassure herself that finding out where machines come from is a worthwhile cause and it's worth coming across the ocean for. Then you will see Nina again, Nina will be talking to Ryu about how they should try and find more information on God the next day. Then everyone will rest, now when you are back on the world map set up camp for real and save. Now go up to the ? path of grass with the tree. There is a Yggdrasil in this barren land! But more importantly is what is behind it, a Dragon Chrysm! Now leave the Yggdrasil tree and go down and right to Steel Grave, which is upper right from Kombinat. When you enter go right then up, then go right again and keep going right. You will come upon a ladder go up it, get the treasure it's UV glasses equip these to someone and go back down the ladder. Then walk down and go up the ladder on the right next to the steel landing. Then go right and up and down a ladder, now if you have Momo with you can use her bazooka to blow off the door here. If you do, then when you enter the room go up and right and get the treasure. It's a Spanner Rod. Now leave here and go all the way back up the ladder. Go down and make a right at the sand incline, go up at the fork here and keep going up until you are on the world map. When you get on the world map go up and enter the place called Colony. Make sure you have Momo with you before entering. When you enter Momo will notice a satellite here (but of course she won't know what it is but you should unless you live in a cave) Now when you gain control go up and left, go around the house and up the stairs. Now keep going up and go into the building. Once inside go left and go through the open doorway. Now go up and into the building on the right, go up in the building and open the treasure and you will find a deep diver. Then go back out of the building, make a left and ascend the stairs. Now you will see a dragon chrysm, it's the Failure Gene! Now go back down the stairs, go down and make a right. Now go up the stairs there, then go in the room. There is a teleporter here like the ones on the other side of the ocean. Now get the treasure bag on the teleporter it's a key! Now leave back out, then go down the stairs and go left. Then go up the stairs there, now go down and right and through the door. Go right then down and you will be on the other side. No go up the stairs go up make a left and jump off the ledge you will fall through the window. Have Momo read the panel to the machine and have her insert the key into the machine. She will tell you the idea of what you have to do. You have to align the reflectors, which look like mirrors in a certain way so the laser will reflect off of them and hit the fuse on the other side of the room. Here is what you should do, move the lower reflector 3 times, move the left mirror 4 times, and move the one on the right 3 times. If those directions are off but they should give you the basic idea I think some of those may be more but I wasn't paying attention and didn't get it proper. Anyway the machine will turn on the teleporter. So leave here and go back to the teleporter room. When you do you will see a beam alight go across the sea. Now leave this room and you will see Honey run away. Follow her go right and up the ladder, now keep right along the path and through the door. Then you will be back in what appears to be the freighter from steel beach. Nina will check it out to see if it is, when she comes back she will confirm it you are back on the other side of the ocean! Momo will think that the portals were originally made for people to travel around the world easier. That's why they have a portal here. Leave here rest and save on the world map. ***************************************************************************** 2i: Square One and Dragnier Levels: Ryu 28; Rei 25; Garr 22; Momo 20; Peco 17; Nina 17 Go back into the freighter, and go to where the portal was but don't go there instead take the fork going down. Make a left ignore the first flight of stairs, and go up the second flight. Keep walking up then go up some more stairs, then make a right and go down. Now go down the stairs and read the green statue. This puzzle drove me bananas for about an hour! Here it is to save you the trouble, the correct order is pull the East lever first, then the south then the north. When you look at it, it looks so simple! Anyway go under west girder and walk up the long staircase. Now go around the girders and follow along the path into the next area. Make a right and then go around the stairs, then go down and make a left and then go up another flight of stairs. You will end up in a room with 3 platforms, the idea here is to get one of the platforms in the middle so you can ride to the middle square to open the door. This is no simple task, here is basically what you have to do to pull it off. First you want to get all 3 platforms on the bottom left corner. Make sure not to touch the one that is closest to the middle. Take one of the other 2 up and to the other side. So that it will be facing the 3rd one you are not supposed to touch. Now take the other one and put it in, or about the same spot as the one that is on the other side. Now ride it left and it will touch the 3rd one and bring it back to the end of the bottom left side. Now go back around and ride the other one on the right side to the left this will push the other one to the end. Then that one will be alone and you can ride it to the middle. Now this here will take some trial and error, and a lot of frustration. So if you screw up very badly even though any screw up can be fixed leave the room to reset it. Ok when you get the door open go through it then go up the stairs. Now go down and get the treasure it's a Lacquer Shield. Now walk up then right and go up some stairs. Then go down and you will be outside, get the treasure there it's a Barbarossa. Now go back in go up and then make a left. Now keep left and go through the door. Now go up the flight of stairs go down, then make a right and then go up the stairs and then go through the door. Now go left and up the stairs now read the panel there. You can realign the antenna. Use the D-pad to realign the antenna you have to get it so you hear no static and that's how you know when you are on a clear path to the other antenna. Press X when you have the clear path if the satellite flashes then it was done properly. Now you will have to go alllll the way back through the building. Go back to the Teleporter here, when you get there chose Container Yard from the machine. When you get to the container yard go right and you will find a dragon chrysm, the Radiance Gene! One more gene and you'll have every gene! Now go back into the portal and then select Dragnier. When you leave the portal a man will be bewildered of how you came from the room. An old man will walk up look at everyone then at Ryu and say it's time to celebrate! Now you will be at a large banquet and Ryu and the party will be sitting around the table. They will explain to everyone that everyone in the village are Brood. They tell Garr not to be afraid they gave up their powers and fled the war. They did it to escape the Guardians! They will refer to Ryu as the Dragon Prince, then you will eat. Then you will be at nighttime, Ryu will be walking around the village alone. The old woman will explain to Ryu that his forecoming was a legend for many generations. The old man will tell Ryu that a long time ago their ancestors gave up their powers and went underground to hide from the war. Many people had a child and then went into a deep sleep. Waiting the day that a Legendary Brood child would be born, and Ryu is the one they have been waiting for. Then Ryu will go up to speak to the other old man, he knows where the Guardian's God is. The screen will have some strange dots on it, and he will tell Ryu he needs to awaken the true power of the brood within him. That was just a dream because you will see Ryu being awaken by the old woman. She will say he fell asleep soon after the dinner. Then she will tell you that his companions are outside. Check the cabinet on the left for a skill ink. Then leave and you will see Rei jumping from the building. Rei will be amazed to see so many Brood. He will then notice Garr standing alone looking depressed. Rei will come with you to speak with Garr. Garr will tell you that he stills feel bad about the war. He remembers the war and even though everyone here doesn't they still see the Guardians as enemies. He thinks everyone is suspicious that Ryu has a Guardian as a companion. He thinks the people hate him, and really don't like the fact that he came here. Then Rei will interrupt and tell Garr how he feels about the whole thing. He tells Garr it was his idea to meet God, and he is the reason everyone is here. Since he was going to meet God the others thought it would be a good idea to meet God as well. He really tells Garr what he means. Then Griol the old man will come up to Ryu and tell him that the Elder wishes to speak with him. The elder is the oldest Brood here. He is so old he remembers the war, this kind of alerts Garr. Griol will tell you that the elder lives in the well. There is an item shop here so buy some items before venturing into the well, and then leave town to rest and save. Now go back inside Dragnier, go to the well and go down the ladder. When you are inside go left and go down the other ladder. No go up and then go up another ladder. Now go up then up a flight of stairs. Notice the mural on the wall it's the same on from the game intro. No go right and through the first doorway. Check the shelf on your right for an ivory dice. Now leave the room and go up and in to the 3rd room on your right. The elder is inside his name is Jono. He will want to speak with Ryu, he will ask him if he saw the mural on the wall on the way in. He will explain that the mural shows Brood history stemming back to before the Great War. It shows each generation's brood hero struggle against the evil Myria. He will tell you that Myria is the Goddess that the Urkans believe in, and the one that Ryu is currently looking for. Jono will tell you that the Urkans never spoke the name of their God or their enemies. Speaking of Urkans he wants to speak with the Guardian that came along. Leave out to the world map, change your party and put Garr in it and come back to Jono that is if you didn't have Garr in your party. Jono will tell Garr that the Urkans should of spoken the name of the Brood, and of Myria since the Brood no longer had a voice in this there would be no way for others to know what really happened. Then Garr will ask "Honorable Elderly One" if they hate the guardians? Jono will tell Garr that he doesn't hate the Guardians, but some among Dragnier probably do. Garr will then ask "Honorable Elderly One" what does he mean by that. Jono will get mad he keeps calling him elderly one since Garr is about the same age as him! Now Jono doesn't wish to speak with Garr any more, or any male's in your party he wants a female! If you don't have Nina with you go get her, you could try Momo to get some funny dialogue. But seriously get Nina, Jono will tell Nina that it was the fate of the Brood. He will tell you the brood have always fought against Myria. She wanted the Brood killed because they had enough power to destroy her world, and she feared the power that the Brood had. Jono will then tell Nina that if the Brood would of fought with all their power the world would of been destroyed for sure. He then has something very important to tell Nina but she has to come close. Jono wants a kiss, tell Nina to do what she wants and she will kiss him. Now he will be happy and he will call Ryu over. Now Jono will tell Ryu it's time to end this. Ryu's fait is soon to come, tell him you are ready if you are. If your party isn't right go back and get who you want. When you come back Jono tells you the Brood have waited until the chosen one would come to the world. He says that he is the hidden power of the brood, but he wants to give up his power. But the only way he could lose his power is by having it taken away! The room will flash green, which will prevent Ryu from using his Brood powers. He will then become a huge dragon! ############################################################################# Boss Fight XXXI Elder Form: Normal Difficulty: Intermediate EXP: 2000 Zenny 1000: Item: None HP: 5000 Dragon Gene: Can't Use Suggested Party: Ryu, Rei, Garr Special Attacks: Bad Back: Doesn't do anything Myollnir: Major lightening attack Inferno: Major Fire attack Although Elder may seem to have an incredibly high HP. This battle really isn't that difficult. Although Ryu has no dragon powers, there is nothing stopping Rei's Weretiger. Remember have Ryu Motivate Rei to become a Weretiger. Ryu should cure everyone whenever a nasty spell comes. When there is no need to cure have Ryu and Garr and attack. Then have Garr just attack. Now here is the key, he seems to do two attacks either physical or magical then a badback. Utilize that time for everyone to cure, and make sure you keep Rei cured because he can't cure himself in this state! ############################################################################# Jono will be impressed by Ryu. Jono will tell Ryu he deserves the true power of the Brood. Have Ryu walk up to him, he will tell Ryu that the power is strong enough to destroy the world. He will tell Ryu that the great Brood Warriors use the power along with their friends to thwart the evil Myria. It's up to him what he wants to do with his powers. Then Jono will disappear, and a green globe will remain. Take it, it's the last dragon gene, the Infinity Gene!!! Now leave the well, and Griol will be outside. He will sense that the Infinity Gene is now with Ryu. He will tell you exactly where the Goddess is. He says Ryu must travel through the _Desert of Death_. ***************************************************************************** 2j: Desert of Death Levels: Ryu; 29 Rei 26; Garr 24; Momo 20; Peco 19; Nina 18 When you are ready to leave speak to the man near the entrance of Dragnier. But for now go up and to the teleporter go inside. I highly suggest going to speak with your masters now. Get anything you can from them and come back. When you are back in Dragnier, go up the stairs above the teleporter and have Ryu examine the discolored portion of wall. It's Ladon, he is the ancient God of the Dragons. He will be your master assuming now that Ryu has all the dragon genes. If you do, apprentice whom you want under him. Now go and speak to the man near the entrance. He will be able to take you to the Desert of Death. Now you will be back on the world map. It may be a good idea to stock up on vitamins in Dragnier. Make sure you have Momo in your party. When you are ready proceed north to the factory. When you enter the factory go right, then go down then go right and up an incline. Now go up then make a left and get the wisdom seed. Now go right then go down and make a left. Then go down and go right and down a hill. Then go left and down and then hill and now go left and down. Get the treasure it's a skill ink. Now go back up to the last fork you came to and go right. Then go inside the building. Once inside go up and ignore the stairs and go into the doorway. Go around the right side of the machine, there is a hidden staircase here descend the stairs. Go left and get the treasure it's a rock breaker. Now leave here and go back to the stairs. Go up the stairs and you will find a treasure bag containing ammonia. Now go back out and go back to the doorway but take the fork from it going left and down the sand decline. Then go up make a right at the fork, now go into the doorway hit the lever. Then go inside the doorway there. Once inside go up and hit the lever there. Now quickly go down avoiding the elctric floor and hit the blue lever. Now quickly go up if you were fast enough you should have made it to the other side. Now go down the stairs on the right, and make a left and go through the door. Now go right and then down and go through the doorway on the left. Now follow the path around the building, get the treasure its a Sage's Frock. Go back out of the room, then go down into the next room. Now go right and pull the blue lever. Then go right and up and pull the lever. Then go up the stairs, and read the instructions for the machine. The idea is that the workbot follows your motion and it can pull the lever by pressing X. Use the Blocks to stop the Workbot, and so you can get more room. When you hit the 3 levers leave the dais. Now go back down the stairs, ho up the ladder and make a left, then go down the stairs and hit the lever. Now go up and right and get the treasure it's a Homing Bomb, equip that to Momo. Now go back up the stairs, then go up and right and through the door. Go up the ladder then go up all the stairs. There's an emergency switch have Momo blow it off. Then go through the doorway you'll be on the world map. Walk strait and you will be in the Desert of Death. There is a diary here use it to rest and save then speak to Horris, he will tell you that the Goddess lives across the desert. But it's difficult to get across since no one has. Ask him everything, here is some advice follow the stars. Only drink one portion of water, and only drink it when you flash red 3 times from. When you are ready to go into the desert go up and leave the screen and tell him you are ready. When you are walking you will encounter a random battle. These are few and far between it's like the ! screen on the world map because there is a treasure here. You should use the camera to try and see the treasure. You will also encounter new enemies. But I am certain they won't be able to kill you, you should be stronger than they are if you are not then you are not ready for the desert. Also when the soon rises wait for the game to tell you to break for camp. Some times if you do it at "False Dawn" It will throw the game off and your days walking off as well. When you break for camp you have to rest, since this game is going with a 24 hour day schedule you will sleep for 12 hours and walk for 12 hours. Make sure you are pointing in the right direction, when you encounter random enemies the screen will rotate slightly most of the time however this is not enough to mess up your directions but don't count on it. Well now on to actual guiding you through. As Horris told you, you want to be going towards the North Star in the beginning. You should walk for 1 day and a half, on the start of the second day hit left 4 times to check the position of the evening star. If the evening star is right above your head. Hit right 8 times, if you are going east then you will see that "False North Star" is on the edge of your screen to the left. Now check the position of the "Evening Star" every time you get into a random battle or drink some water. In about 2 and a half nights the star will be down on the bottom and barely visible. Then Dawn will arrive, you will have to set up camp. When you go back on the walk you will see that the star is right on the bottom of the screen. Walk east for 60 steps and it will be gone. Now face the North Star again and walk north. After about a night and a half you will see what looks like an oasis ignore it and don't walk towards it, it's just a mirage. Keep walking north, and eventually that will go away. Near the middle of the 3rd night you will get a cut scene, your party will notice a hill and decide to climb up it to see if they see any signs of life or civilization. All of a sudden that hill will move! ############################################################################# Boss Fight XXXII Manmo Form: Defense Difficulty: Intermediate EXP: 2000 Zenny 1000: Item: Power Food HP: 3000 Dragon Gene: Infinity + Radiance + Trance Suggested Party: Ryu, Rei, Garr Special Attacks: Quake: Minor Earth Damage to all Plain and simple Manmo is powerful. He isn't a magic user and he used that Quake all of one time. He Reprisal's a lot although the game doesn't specifically come out and call it a reprisal. He is quake shouldn't harm anyone since that is pretty weak attack at this point. Ryu should become Kaiser II and use Bonebreak, and from then on KaiserBreath. Rei should become the weretiger, he will 95% of the time hit Manmo. Garr should attack and if Rei or him gets too weak have him use a vitamin. ############################################################################# After the battle you will everyone has gone back to camp. Nina doesn't look too good she is suffering from heat stroke. Garr will tell Ryu that they can't move Nina while she is like this. When you gain control go outside Rei, will be there and he will be concerned with the princess. He won't blame her since it's very hot out here it wasn't her fault. Now go over to the Rakda and slash it with your sword. It will die and you will get its meat. Now with the Rakda gone there is no turning back. Go inside the tent and go over to Nina she will eat the meat of the Rakda. Then the party will make it to Oasis, you will see they built a small town around the oasis. ***************************************************************************** 2k: Caer Xhan & Orbital Station Levels: Ryu; 32 Rei 30; Garr 27; Momo 22; Peco 20; Nina 19 Some people will come over and help your party.

Teepo will tell Ryu the only one who understands the Brood is Myria, and if he doesn't want to accept that Teepo can't allow Ryu to leave. You will have to fight alone! ############################################################################# Boss Fight XXXIV Arwan Form: N/A Difficulty: Easy EXP: 5000 Zenny 0: Item: None HP: 2500 Dragon Gene: Power + Trance Special Attacks: Chill: Lowers Speed; attacks This battle should go by pretty quickly turn into the Myrmidon, cast Holy Strike about 5 or 6 times. Arwan mostly attacks, but even the Myrmidon has weak defense so the attacks will where down the Myrmidon. He also uses the Chill early, it's not much of an attack but it slows down the speedy warrior. Even so you will still be able to defeat it pretty easily. ############################################################################# After the battle you will be back in Eden. Teepo will tell Ryu he didn't have to fight if he would of lost he would of just lost his powers and would have to stay in Eden. Then Ryu will be ready to attack Teepo, Teepo will tell Ryu he has no choice. He has to kill you, Teepo will flash then you'll get a party prompt, I chose Ryu, Rei, Garr with a Defense formation. Now it's fight time! ############################################################################# Boss Fight XXXV D.Lord Form: Defense Difficulty: Extremely Hard EXP: 5000 Zenny 3000: Item: Dragon Armor & Dragon Sword HP: 12500 Dragon Gene: Power + Trance Suggested Party: Ryu, Rei, Garr Special Attacks: Triple Blow: 3 Consecutive attacks Inferno: Major Fire Damage All Blizzaed: Major Water Damage All Sirocco: Major Fire + Wind Damage All Howling: Causes Entire Party to become berserk First thing you should do is try and have Rei Pilfer the Dragon Sword off of D.Lord. Then once you get it, have Ryu equip it then become the Myrmidon. Rei should not become the weretiger. You will need him to use your items to cure Ryu and Garr. As the Myrmidon with the Dragon Sword equipped, Ryu should use Wind Strike this will take off about 1000 HP each time. The main difficulty of this fight is that the D.Lord is very powerful, and he can kill the low defended Myrmidon Rei and even Garr easily. So if anyone dies Rei should be in charge of reviving that person then curing them since Rei is quicker than the D.Lord. You also have to worry about Howling. Howling can send at least 2 members crazy and this will cause major problems especially if you haven't cured in a while. You should also make sure you have some Wisdom seeds to throw them to Ryu, so he can keep the Myrmidon form up as long as possible since it's your only offense. You should still have that Wisdom Fruit, if you do use that on him when you run out of seeds. ############################################################################# After the fight Teepo will be near death. He then lays down his last words, he says this is all the Brood knows. All they know is how to fight and kill each other. Teepo will tell Ryu he never asked to be born a Brood, he never asked for the power. He just wanted to be with his brothers Rei and Ryu. Teepo will become a purple whelp and then die, a card will be lying where Teepo was. Take it's an important card key! Now go back to the elevator and leave here. Leave Caer Xhan altogether. There's a shortcut, when you get to the outside part of the station, go down and through the glass door. Then go through a door, then make a right and take the lift down. Go to the container yard then go to Dragnier. Go to the item shop there and buy as many Multivitamins as possible. After that buy as many Ammonia's as possible. (You probably won't need 99 of each but it's better to be safe than sorry :). If you have an ability item shop in your faerie village hopefully you got it far enough to sell Soul Gems, buy as many as those as possible. Sell all your equipment you won't need. Old weapons and armor aren't needed any more, and characters you don't use on a regular basis should have their equipment sold as well. With the money buy more Soul Gems, then leave and go back to Caer Xhan. ***************************************************************************** 2l: End of Game Levels: Ryu 42 Rei 35; Peco 34; Garr 33; Nina 31; Momo 30 When you get back to the Myria Station go through the main entrance.

If you want to punish these Nue's or kill them quicker have Ryu become Kaiser II, and use KaiserBreath on it them to kill them with one blow. ############################################################################# After the battle go up and out of the door, then go into the next door. ############################################################################# Boss Fight XXXVII Sample 3 x2 (2 Mikba's) Form: Defense Difficulty: Easy EXP: 1334 Zenny 3000: Item: None HP: 2500 each Dragon Gene: Not Needed Suggested Party: Ryu, Rei, Garr Special Attacks: Venom Breath: Can poison entire Party Reprisal: Attack right after being attacked Multistrike: Attack that can hit 3 times Have Rei become the Weretiger, and if you want have Ryu become any Dragon Form, like Myrmidon. Have Garr attack you probably won't even need to use any curing items I am confident you'll make it through this battle without it. ############################################################################# After the battle go up the ladder and go up into the next room. You will find Moon Tears, Now go let and out of the room. Then go down a ladder, you will see a diary don't get too froggy go into the next room and use those bed's to rest. Then go back to the room with the diary to save. In the bedroom there is a chest containing a Cupid's Lyre. There are more bosses from the game you can fight if you want to, it's not necessary I just showed you the quickest path to the last save point. But you might want to for experience and to teach some of those bastards a lesson. Here is a list of all the bosses in this area. ------------------------------------- 3 Sample 1 (Nue) 2 Sample 2 (HugeSlug) 2 Sample 3 (Mikba) 1 Sample 4 (I don't know what it is) 1 Sample 5 (Angler) 2 Sample 6 (Ammonite) 1 Sample 7 (Manmo) 5 Sample 8 (Rocky) 1 Sample 9 (Elder) 1 Sample 10 (Stallion) 1 Sample 11 (Stallion) 1 Sample 12 (Stallion) ------------------------------------- When you are ready go down the ladder. when you do Honey will run away. Go right and follow her. You will see Honey using a Beam of light to open two huge doors. Then a screen will pop up and say it accepts Honey's Navigator Code. Continue going right go through a door, and you will be on an elevator. It will take you down. Now go left as soon as you move the place will light up and a woman will appear. She says she is an assistant to the Guardian, and you need to listen to the other assistant's words as well. Keep left and go through a door. Speak to the woman there, then go down a screen will appear telling you how Myria separated the desert from the fertile world. When you are back in control keep going down and go left until you reach a ramp. Go up it keep going up and keep going up then make a left. Now go up and make a right. A woman will stop you she will tell you about the safeguards Myria took to help the world. She will tell you that Myria only allowed repair and use of existent Machinery and made sure there was no way to create mass weapons of destruction. When you gain control go right then up and then go through the door. Speak to the woman and she will tell you about Chrysm Ore and how she has made it like magic. Leave out of the room and go down then go right. Then go down and make a left and get on the lift. Ryu's Dragon Eye will light up and then a winged woman will appear. The same winged woman from Ryu's childhood dream. She will call out everyone's name except Peco's and she will tell you that she is Myria. Garr will speak first he will ask why did the Brood have to be destroyed? She will tell Garr that the Brood power was much too great for her small world, and she will tell Garr that this part of the world is covered in sand because of the Brood she had to save the fertile side from the Brood. Then Rei will want to know if they should just sit back and allow her to take care of them. Myria will tell Rei that is what she wants them to do, she will then tell you by separating the worlds she has saved the Fertile side from the desert by using the Ocean. She also says she created the machines and had them sent over because she knew the fertile side could use them. Then Momo will say that one day Engineer's will figure out how to make their own machines and they won't need her old machines any more. Myria will tell her if she buried them in sand for trying to make their own machines, they wouldn't have time to make them now would they. Then she will tell Momo that if she allowed people to make their own machines some one will eventually want to make a mass destruction weapon for war. Myria will then tell you that the world use to be larger, that one time Caer Xhan was a large city which was inhabited by people. The people fought amongst each other and the desert engulfed the city, she couldn't save the people of Caer Xhan from this. Then Nina will speak up and agree with Myria, and she wants to know why does have to die or be locked up in a room like Teepo. Then Rei will interrupt remembering what happen to Teepo and get mad. He doesn't like what she did to his brother, and she doesn't want that happening to his other brother either! So he brandishes his knives, then Garr will speak up. He has traveled with Ryu for too long, and he doesn't want that happening to Ryu either he feels the Brood doesn't have enough power to destroy the world like she claims they can. Then Garr and Momo will brandish their weapons. Then Nina will plead Ryu's case as being a good dragon and maybe they don't need their help they can fix the world on their own. Myria has had enough she makes' Rei disappear. Then she does the same to Momo Nina and Garr. Then Peco will walk to the middle and flash and suddenly everyone will return. Peco will want to know why didn't Myria call his name why can't she recognize him. Myria will then recognize him as Yggdrasil. Peco, Yggdrasil rather will tell her that she won't be able to simply banish them when he is around. Yggdrasil will tell her that her children have crossed the barriers of the world to see her so they can help their friend Ryu find out about his race. Myria decides to allow Ryu chose his own fate, she want's to know if he should give up his power or try and stop her and live in an unprotected world. Speak to all 5 people and return to Myria. If you choose to give up your power you will get the alternative ending. If you choose to let fate take it's course and fight Myria you will get the real ending. Myria will not like the second choice, then Yggdrasil will show up. Yggdrasil will tell Myria that it is time to let go, that her children are strong and they can fend for themselves. She has watched the world for too long and her children are not as fragile as she thinks they are. Myria just wants what's best for those who are not as powerful as Ryu, who can't fend for themselves. But Yggdrasil doesn't think it's fair that the world should only be limited to her barriers. Myria will see that Ryu won't change his mind he doesn't want to give up his powers because they are a part of him. Even though she is reluctant she realizes she has to kill Ryu. ############################################################################# Final Fight Myria Form: Defense Difficulty: Hard EXP: 0 Zenny 0: Item: None HP: 20,000 Dragon Gene: Infinity + Radiance + Trance Suggested Party: Ryu, Rei, Garr Special Attacks: Inferno: Major Fire Damage to All Blizzard: Major Water Damage to All Myollnir: Major Lightening Damage to 1 member Sirocco: Make Fire+Wind Damage to All Restore: Major healing to one member Sanctuary: Dispels all assist magic offense and defense Evil Eye: Magic attack ignores defense Venom: Various Status changes to all Holocaust: Major Non elemental damage to all ------------------------------------------- Ryu + Rei + Garr This battle is not super hard just super long it will probably take up to 40 minutes to beat. The Venom will get your party but panacea everyone, if anyone has not gone crazy. When the battle begins have Ryu become Kaiser II, and don't have Rei become the weretiger. Wait until Ryu goes back to human have Rei become Weretiger. When Ryu is Kaiser II, have him use Bonebreak if you still have it and it has recharged, after that use KaiserBreath. Have Rei attack and when someone needs curing allow him to do it. Have Garr attack mainly and if him and Rei need curing then have him cure. When Ryu becomes human have him start curing and Rei become the Weretiger. Make sure you Influence Rei to Myria. Garr should still attack, also keep check on your Soul Gems. Make sure to cure Rei as the Weretiger because he can't refresh his soul gem on his own. Don't use status-enhancing magic because she can use sanctuary and it will dispel it so it's like wasting a turn. When she gets to half hp she will start using Restore, and she will start using Holocaust. As long as you keep the Soul Gem's up you will be ok in this battle. ------------------------------------------- Ryu and others If you decided on using Peco, use Super Combo that is if you still have it. Peco should have enough HP where only one Soul Gem will be used. Peco should also cure if curing is desperately needed. If you are using Momo you should have her use her curative magic and magic that cure's status changes she is useful when dealing with Venom. You should also use Status magic with her at least it will last to the next sanctuary attack. If you went with Nina then you would need her to mainly use her spells, and have her use items to cure the other members. She will need to keep Soul Gems on her constantly because she is weak. ############################################################################# Sit back and enjoy the ending!

My final time Breath of Fire III: 56:23 That's a Dy$e Guarantee. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ V: Dragon Gene Splicing Guide: Dragon Genes will be used through out most of the game. Of course you probably know how to use the basic functions of Dragon Genes such as Fire Whelp, or a Dark Warrior. You may however want to know more about splicing what works and what doesn't work. This is where I Dyse the magnificent God of all splicing comes in. Here I will explain to you everything you need, or wanted to know about Dragon Gene splicing! The 4 Main Dragon Classes: Whelp: A Whelp looks like a baby dragon. You normally get Whelps when you use a Gene by itself either a elemental gene or one that doesn't grant you a property. Whelps are useful in the beginning of the game but in the end of the game their low HP and weak strength won't be enough. Dragon: Well, a Dragon looks like a...Dragon! Dragon's are larger than whelps and more powerful. Dragons are formed when you combine two genes usually depending on what genes. Like Flame and Eldritch can give you a Dragon. Dragon is a basic transformation like the Whelp but it is stronger and has more HP. Behemoth: Behemoth looks like a Fat large Dragon. A Behemoth is very powerful and use Meteor Strike For it's breath. Behemoth also have an Ungodly high HP level but their draw back is they take up the whole party and since they do that you can't use your other characters. Behemoth's are great if you are fighting a very strong enemy and are low on energy, but they use an a lot of AP. Almost anything combined with Miracle Gene will result in a Behemoth. Warrior: This is my favorite of the 4. The Warrior looks like a Cross between Ryu and a Dragon, it has Dragon legs Ryu's head and chest, stand's up right and has a tail. Every warrior has Aura as a basic attack, which is one of my favorite attacks in the game. It also has a breath Warrior's are ultra fast and not only do they look cool they are also pretty powerful. This dragon resembles the dragon forms of Breath of Fire IV. Here is a list of Dragon Genes and where you get them: ============================================= Flame: Use Fire Elemental Magic By Itself: Create Flame Whelp Flame Whelp (Red Whelp): Whelp Breath Blind Flame Breath Flame Claw Restore Form Found: When you first get Accession ============================================= Frost Use Ice Elemental Magic By Itself: Creates Frost Whelp Frost Whelp (Turquoise Whelp) Whelp Breath Blind Frost Breath Frost Claw Restore Form Found: Maekyss Gorge underneath the 2nd bridge Near the house ============================================= Thunder Use Lightening Elemental Magic By Itself: Creates Thunder Whelp Thunder Whelp (Blue Whelp) Whelp Breath Blind ThundrBreath Thunder Claw Restore Form Found: House in the Rhapala Region ============================================= Shadow Use Shadow Elemental Magic By Itself: Creates Shadow Whelp Shadow Whelp (Purple Whelp) Whelp Breath Blind Shadow Breath Chlorine Restore Form Found: After defeating the D.

Sadly since I never originally wrote down the skills of these i will be playing through to put them here so this won't be complete until then. :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Trygon Flame + Frost + Thunder This is a mix of the 3 it produces a Gold Dragon. It is a pretty decent dragon if you are fighting an enemy where you do not like choosing the element. Flame Breath: Frost Breath: Thudr Breath: Dragon Breath: Restore Form: :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Mammoth Miracle + ??? This is my most hated special class. Even though the Mammoth has an Ungodly high EXP level. It looks just like the regular Behemoth, but it's defenses are considerably lower. Giant Growth Meteorstrike Restore Form :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Pygmy Mutant + ??? Pygmy looks like a Dragon at it's very early stage. It isn't powerful attacks but it's ebonfire is certainly one of the strongest dragon attacks in the game. Dragon Breath Snap Magmabreath Restore Form :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Wildfire Miracle + Thorn + Reverse Wildfire is the gold Whelp. This is a decent transformation if you are fighting a slow enemy with a lot of HP. The Wildfire is VERY powerful and VERY fast. But the Low Hp makes up for it, but it also has a decent defense. The Wildfire has a high reprisal rate that is if it survives getting hit. Whelp Breath Charge Restore Form :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Tiamat Shadow + Trance Tiamat is a decent transformation, it turns the whole party into a very cool looking snake. This takes up the whole party like the Behemoth transformations, but it doesn't take down your HP like that does. So think this as an alternative to Behemoth's. This one however is much faster than a Behemoth but has no where near the strength of the almighty behemoth. Doom Breath Shadow Breath Venom Breath Restore Form :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Myrmidon Power + Trance Ryu becomes a Gold Warrior! This class is awesome because of the HP and the Ungodly strength. It also has all the elements at it's command making this one of the best classes in the game. Gambit Aura Flame Strike Frost Strike Wind Strike Holy Strike Aura Breath Restore Form :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Kaiser I Infinity + Failure This tames the Kaiser. The Kaiser is Ryu but he is gold. The Kaiser has some petty decent attacks like he can call the Kaiser Dragon. He can also use a Bonebreak attack. He is very strong and has way more speed than Ryu, although this form eats up a lot of AP. Kaiser Breath Bone Break Howling Restore Form :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Kaiser II Infinity + Radiance + Trance This Tames the Kaiser, but even more so than Kaiser I. You have all the same attacks as Kaiser I but this time you are waaaay more powerful and not only that you also have nearly three times as much HP. If this isn't enough to waste 15 more AP and turn back quicker I don't know what is. Kaiser Breath Bone Break Howling Restore Form :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Here are all the Hybrid's when Ryu combines with the other party members. Garr and Ryu don't mix. @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ Momo Hybrid The Momo hybrid looks like an armored Dragon, with a smoke stack top. It's not the best looking dragon but it has some cool offensive statuses, and Combustion is very powerful once you get it. Speed Protect Might Restore Remedy Combustion Restore Form @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ Nina Hybrid The Nina Hybrid looks like a bird but has dragon like wings, and no feathers. It's very cool looking but it's about the size of a normal dragon. It also has all the top elemental magic making it a very versatile dragon hybrid. Typhoon Lightening Inferno Blizzard Temptation Restore Form @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ Peco Hybrid The Peco Hybrid takes after Peco, it looks just like the little guy except it has dragon teeth and a dragon tail coming out of his head. A good defensive dragon with the status breaths. Dream Breath Venom Breath Dragon Breath Geo Breath Restore Form @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ Rei Hybrid This is the coolest looking Hybrid in my opinion. It's a tiger on all fours with dragon-striped wings and gold dragon tail, and striped horns. It also makes the same roar as Rei in Weretiger mode. This dragon is faster than the Were tiger and put the Weretiger next to the Rei Hybrid and you have an awesome duo. But it lacks on the actual skills, which makes it not much of a use. Shadowwalk Dragon Breath Tempest Restore Form +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ VI: Master Lists FAQ Well, the Master's are out there. But this is massively confusing. I mean who do you Apprentice to who, what Master is a stud which is a dud. Well the Dyse man yet again helps the simple folk with his city slicker ways.

My village is not being built! Faeries aren't being born fast enough. I killed all my faeries by accident! Well Dyse will yet again astound you with his knowledge by helping you having an efficient village. Faeries all over the world be bowing before you because you are so great! ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Getting Started: ~ You will start out with 3 Faeries, Each one will have different skills it depends on your individual game since this is a totally random thing. Each time I got to this point I notice one Faerie was average one was great at almost everything and the other was smart and could hunt. Send the one with a Full Red Bar to hunt. Have the other two be Scholars. One can work on Jobs, the other can work on Culture. ~ Check back and if you have some more Faeries send ones with a high red bar to hunt, and place the additional ones for Building. If you got some dud Faeries (One that excel in one point and everything is low and non existent) put them in the house. ~ Pull Faeries off hunting when you get 99 Food Icons. You don't need that many if it depletes too low put another Faerie back on. ~ In the Early going make sure to check back here often if you don't the faeries will die. ~ Even if you run out of food it's highly improbable that all the Faeries will die, one of the Hunters will always be around. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ The Power Bars: Red: Hunting and Journeying. Green: Building and Clearing Blue- Inn's and Shops Light Blue- Copying Items, Scholaring ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Basic Jobs: Hunting: Good Hunters should have a high Red bar when starting off. Gradually as culture increases pull off hunters who can do other things well and give them different jobs. When you get 99 Food, remember the number of Faeries and don't add any more you won't need any more hunters for the moment. If your food drops low put some of the original living hunter's back on, and get the number back up. 5 Hunters usually is all you need for building an village. Clearing: Clearer Job is to clear land so that the builders can build. I suggest doing this first before building on the land. Building: Builders build the rooms, in the house. When you start off have mostly all your Faeries either building or clearing. Once you have 8 rooms, pull all Builders and Clearers off they have nothing else to do. Advanced Jobs =================================== ************************ 1. Scholar's Skill Needed: Light Blue Scholar's do two things, they either design new jobs, or they speed up culture. By creating new jobs you can make better use of the village for your own needs. By increasing culture this makes more Faeries and all the faeries work faster and harder. With a low Culture it will take a while to get anything happening. When the Culture Level reaches 5 and there are no more jobs left to do then the Scholar's have done their work. 1 Faerie: Designs New Jobs or Culture 2 Faeries: Jobs and Culture are developed Faster 3 Faeries: Jobs and Culture are developed even faster ************************* 2. Merchant's Skill Needed: Dark Blue Merchant's sell item's for you to use. One thing about Merchant's is if you close the shop or move the Faerie working then all your work is gone and you have to gain the items again. There are 3 kinds of shops you can use, Item Weapons or Handyman. Item sells items and a few accessories, Weapons sells weapons Armor and accessories, Handyman sells everything. You have two types ability and speed for each. Speed shops develop rather quickly but the quality of items are down. Ability shops take longer but they get better items in. When the item list is full for all 3 shops pull off additional faeries the one that weren't selling items. 1 Faerie: Sells Goods 2 Faeries: Good Comes in Quicker 3 Faeries: Goods Come in Quickest ************************* 3. Inn Skill Needed: Dark Blue Inn, is well an Inn. Like all the Inn's in Breath of Fire III you can Rest or Save your game. Additional Faeries will give you facts on the game. 1 Faerie: Runs a 10 Zenny Inn 2 Faeries: Tells you basic and not known things about your game 3 Faeries: Tells you extra things about the game ************************** 4: Gift Skill Needed: N/A Gift Shop gives away free items. Sounds like a Sweet Deal right? Well it's not really as sweet as it sounds, Generally it takes a while for the Gift Shop Faeries to give you anything and everything you get you probably already have or can get from some where else. Don't waste your time with this Job. 1 Faerie: Gives away an item 2 Faeries: Gives away another item 3 Faeries: Gives away another item ************************** 5. Fortune Skill Needed: Light Blue Fortune Tellers may seem cool at first but don't waste your time with this job. The fortunes they usually tell are pretty much common knowledge and nothing here is really helpful. It's fun for one or so but when you are bored with it, can it for something more useful. 1 Faerie: Tells a Fortune 2 Faeries: Tells another Fortune 3 Faeries: Tells an additional Fortune ************************** 6. Explorer Skill Needed: Red Explorer's go on expeditions. They go to places looking for items it seem, there are 3 types of expedition, Day Trip, Night, and Distant. Take Distant because you usually can net a pretty a decent item from the Faerie. The problem with Distant Trips is Faeries die when they go out there. You have a 1/4 chance of your Faerie returning safely from a distance but the risk is worth it. When you have a 5 culture levels the Faeries will replace them pretty quickly. 1 Faerie: Goes on an Expedition 2 Faeries: Goes on another Expedition 3: Faeries: Goes on a different Expedition ************************** 7: Antiques Skill Needed: Blue Antiques shop buy *Appear Valuable* items at higher prices than anywhere else. So make sure when you find one sell it here and not to a normal place. Antique shop is replaceable so don't keep this place around all the time since it's waste room for a better shop like an Inn. 1 Faerie: Buy's Antiques 2 Faeries: tells about Antiques 3 Faeries: Tells about Dragon Tear ************************** 8: Music Skill Needed: N/A Music Shop is sort of like an item shop. Change who is actually playing the song and you lose your whole collection. There is a huge list of songs here to listen to, and with that "Great Capcom Library of songs" how can you go wrong. The Music room is always a cool place to go when you want to listen to some great music. 1 Faerie: Play's Songs 2 Faeries: Speeds up song Process When you beat the game this Faerie will sing Pure Again 3 Faeries: Speeds up song process ************************** 9: Casino Skill Needed: N/A Well we got some naked Gambling Faeries here! Well this is one place I had to keep the Casino is a mega fun place to go when you are bored or stuck in the game. You got a couple of games to play here, You have High Low. You play for Zenny, and you have to guess if the next number will be High and Low. The other game is a number guessing game where you guess numbers and make money. 1 Faerie: Plays Games 2 Faeries: Also Plays Games 3 Faeries: Allows you to change Faery Names Clear Game Only ************************** 10: Copy Shop Skill Needed: Light Blue Well the idea is to give a Faerie an item. The Faerie makes a copy and gives you two items back. Pretty sweet some times they can't make a copy and they give you the item back sometimes they ruin both the copy and the original. But that is pretty rare when it does happen. Pack all your old scholars here because they are usually the smartest Faeries around. 1 Faerie: Copies an Item 2 Faeries: Copies another Item 3 Faeries: Copies an Additional Item +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ VIII: Weapons List Here is a list of weapons that each character can use. Teepo weapons are identical to Ryu's so he is not included, although Rei and Ryu's are similar they are have enough differences to grant different lists..

Ryu Age: Child-10 Age: Adult-20 Height: Child- 4'7" Height: Adult-6' Weight: Child- 80 Lbs. Weight: Adult-175 lbs. Action: Slashes to cut down small hedges, can steal 2-5 Zenny with this Weapon: Swords, Knives, Daggers Magic: Dragon Transformation, Curative Magic Ryu was found as a small child by Rei. He grew up for a while with Rei and Teepo, he is the last of the Brood. He is a great worker, he does what he is told, but he can still tell right from wrong, but he usually went along with Rei and Teepo anyway. He is peaceful but when Nina is in danger he will do anything in his power to save her. Ryu is a gifted fighter, he does no excel in anything, except Wisdom. The only fault he has is he's not very fast. It's up to you by fighting with him what he will lean towards. His curative magic is great but most players don't use this aspect of him because of the dragon transformations. I think making him the best curing character was a waste of talent. Equip Weapon: Goo King Sword- Steal from Goo King's. Armor: Life Armor- In the desert, or trade with Manilo at the Lost Shore Shield: Aries Gloves- Steal from Beserker Helmet: Dragon Helm- In a chest at the Lab of the Orbital Station ============================================================================= 2. Rei Age: Child-17 Age: Adult-27 Height: Child 6'2 Height: Adult-6'2 Weight: Child 180 Weight: Adult-180 Action: Picks locks Weapons: Short swords, Knives, Daggers Magic: Weretiger, lightening Rei is a born thief. Well the main fact of this is he is a tiger-human hybrid. Rei and his "brother" Teepo live in the Cedar Woods, they steal to eat. Rei finds Ryu and for a short time he is part of the gang. Rei is uncouth and cool, but he has a quick temper. Rei is my favorite character in the game and the entire series for that matter. Rei is the fastest character in the game. His lightening magic just adds to the speed and to Rei's mystique. Rei like Ryu has the hidden power since he can transform into a Weretiger this makes Rei a pretty tough customer. Although his Weretiger is uncontrollable he is great with one enemy bosses. His low defense balances out his quick speed. Weapon: Holy Avenger: Arch Mage Drops this. Armor: Life Armor: In the desert, or trade with Manillo at the Lost Shore Shield: Aries Gloves- Steal from Beserker Helmet: Divine Helm- Wraith's Drop these in the Orbital Station ============================================================================= 3. Teepo Age: Child-12 Height: Child-4'7" Weight: Child-80 lbs Action: Kicks Trees for Fruit, Kick people for 1-5 Zenny Magic: Sorted, all element attacks. Teepo like Ryu was an orphan. Rei found Teepo in the forest as well, but the difference here is Teepo and Ryu are a lot different. Teepo is a bit of a loud mouth and he seems to have the quick temper that Rei has, he is not afraid of nothing and defies authority. Teepo will do anything to get popular, and to get respect. Teepo is a decent fighter he has the strength of Ryu but he is faster. Like Nina he can use all sorts of Magic spells making him a pretty versatile Mage. His defense is not as high as Ryu's but he is faster than Ryu. Weapon: Bronze Sword: Bought in McNeil Village Armor: Clothing: Already equipped Shield: Cloth Shield- Fount on Mt. Glaus Helmet: Bandanna- Fount inside Mt. Glaus ============================================================================= 4. Nina Age: Child-10 Age: Adult: 20 Height: Child-4'5" Height: Adult: 5'8 Weight: Child-60 lbs Weight: Adult: 115 lbs Action: Uses Magic to start up Chrysm Crystals Magic: Sorted All Element Attacks, offensive assist magic. Nina is the young Princess of Wyndia. Nina has some of the same qualities of Ryu, but she is a bit more inquisitive than him. She doesn't like to see wrong being done and she will do anything to stop it. She frees Ryu from prison and hasn't been far behind him since. Nina is a pathetic character. Fighting wise she is not very useful at all. Her magic comes in handy when you need it, but most of the time enemies will destroy her, because her defense is in the toilet. I really advise against using her. Weapon: Ouroboros- Purchase in Faerie Village Weapon Ability shop. Armor: Diane's Dress- Dropped by Revenants in Orbital Station Shield: Aeries Gloves- Steal from Beserker. Helmet: Silver Tiara- In a chest in the courtyard of the Orbital Station ============================================================================= 5. Momo Age: Child 17 Age: Adult 27 Height: Child 5'10 Height: Adult 5'10" Weight: Child 135 lbs Weight: Adult 135 lbs Action: Uses Bazooka to destroy barrels and walls. Can shoot enemies for 2-10 Zenny, can operate many computers and panels Magic: Defense/Offense assist, Healing, Earth Momo is a Human/Bunny hybrid. She is a scientist and she hopes to follow the footsteps of her late father Repsol. She likes machinery and ugly mutants. She joins the group when they visit her in the tower that she lives in. Momo has decent speed, when her attack hits early in the game it is very useful. Near the end Momo's actual fighting ability depletes and slowly you will stop using Momo for fighting all together. She also has a weak defense but not as weak as Nina's. If you level her right and keep her with a defense Master, Momo can be pretty useful. Weapon: Atomic Bomb- Purchased at Caer Xhan Armor: Mist Armor: Dropped by Mist Men in the Orbital Station Shield: Aries Gloves- Stolen from the Beserker Helmet: Silver Tiara- In a chest in the Orbital Station Courtyard ============================================================================= 6. Peco Age: ??? Height: 2'6 Weight: 30 lbs. Action: Headbutts fruit out of trees and bumps rocks. Can steal 1-5 Zenny. Can talk to Yggdrasils. Magic: Status Changing Peco is a mutant onion. He can speak but you can't understand what he is saying and he likes to sleep a lot. Peco was born by a combination of Yggdrasil sap and Chrysm energy. Peco joins the team when a mutant plant gives him to you to watch over so nothing will happen to him. Peco is a great fighter and probably one of the best in the game. He has Ungodly high HP, lots of power and a high defense. Shame on those who don't use the squeaking onion to their advantage. Yeah he may look funny, but don't let that fool you he's a can of ass whipin' you don't want to open. His slow speed and low intellect balances him out. Weapon: Dragonfang- Dropped by Red Drakes in the Lab in the orbital station Armor: AmberBPlate- Bought in Parch Shield: Aries Gloves-Steal from Beserker Helemt: Tiger's Cap- Bought in Faeries Village Weapon ability Shop ============================================================================= 7. Garr Age: 500+ Height: 6'9" Weight: 380 lbs Action: Pushes heavy objects like rocks. Magic: Fire Almighty Garr is the reining champion of the Tournament of Champions. Garr is a heavy thinker but you can't tell that by looking at the winged spear wielding warrior. He is old and very wise he joins the party when he wins them in the fighting contest. Ok it's simple...GARR ROCKS! Shame on those who don't use Almighty Garr all the time. Yeah he may be slow but so what? He hit's VERY hard, he is mighty he is big and his high HP keeps him alive. He also has a very high defense, and he has a high immunity to anything with fire. He won't repel it or turn it into HP but it won't damage him much. The only thing holding this mighty warrior back is he is slow, and he doesn't have many spells. Weapon: Beast Spear-Search the Ashes of Guardian Gaist Armor: Gideon's Garb-Dropped by Armor in the Orbital Station Shield: Aries Gloves- Steal from Beserker Helmet: Divine Helm- Dropped by Wraith's in the Orbital Station +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ XI: FAQ NEW! Q1: How do I pray to the statue in Ryu's mind? A1: First examine it so it will tell you to pray. Next stand there and do nothing in about 30 seconds or so it will open the path for you. Q2: How do I get the Asbestas Armor Early? A2: Defeate Balio and Sunder in the castle Q3: If I didn't get a dragon gene can I go back and get it? A3: As long as the area is accesible than you can go back and get it. Q4: How do I control Kaiser? A4: Infinity + Failure or, Infinity + Radiance + Trance. I suggest the second one because it's a lot more powerful than the Failure combination. Q5: Is there anyway to beat Balio and Sunder in the woods? A5: No, not even with a gameshark they weren't meant to be beaten. The whole story of the game would of been altered so much that there would of had to have been a second scenario made. Q6: Is there anyway to beat Garr in the Arena? A6: No, this also would of ruined the game but not as much. Q7: How many years do you think went by between Chapter 1 and 2? A7: Some people say 20, but I say it's been 10. Q8: Should I get this Breath of Fire or it's sequel A8: I would advise this one, because it's easier and longer. Q9: Are you going to do walkthroughs for all 4 Breath of Fires? A9: I changed my mind, no I'm only doing for the PS BoF's although my mind changes a lot :) Q10: Where can I find the Tyrant Gene? A10: It's not in the game, this is a stupid rumor started after the release of Breath of Fire IV. Q11: How do I get a Goo King Sword A11: By stealing it, you have to catch a Goo King in a pack in order for it to work. Trust me it can be done it's just not as easy as you would think, it's very rare as well. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ XII: Thanks: SCCAN85- I would like to think him most of all for suggesting this game to me, when others advised against.
