Date: Tue, 16 Mar 1999 15:45:40 -0500 GUARDIAN'S CRUSADE WALKTHRU Version 2 compiled by Ann Noble 71154.3234@compuserve.com Many thanks to Jerrold Ng whose excellent walkthru helped me when I was stuck on 66 Living Toys. GENERAL Unlike most RPGs where there is a group of people, in this game there is just you, a cute monster, Living Toys and a feisty fairy. However your party is more than enough to deal with most things. To get the most out of Baby (you will have the chance to name him) talk to him in EVERY battle, feed him snacks frequently and don't make him fetch too often. If you train him at the MTC in Trisken his stats will improve but it is expensive, 1000rb for each of his levels, so do it as early as possible. CONTENTS: Walkthru Living Toys Getting around in Picard WALKTHRU Part 1 - Departure Orgo: The Mayor sends you with a letter to San Claria. (Rusted toy, Dusty toy, Cute toy in the mill). San Claria: You deliver the letter to the Mayor and then start back to Orgo. The man at the entrance to the village mentions a monster going towards Orgo. (Wind up toy in house on beach). Just outside Orgo you meet Baby and a mysterious figure tells you to return him to his mother in God's Tower. But the Mayor tells you to take him to the Cave of Fear and leave him there. The next morning you go along the Grave Road and send Baby into the Cave; however you see the mysterious man again and decide to rescue Baby. Cave of Fear and Kell: You make your way through the cave (Mysterious toy, Cool toy, Bronze shield, Bronze sword, hamburger) until you come to a strange underground village called Kell. After you defeat the Mushmare (Iron sword) in their storeroom, the Elder gives you a Living Toy called Mr O'Neal who activates all the toys you have already. (Da Bomb in the storeroom). The Kellians allow you further into the cave (Walkbomb, Phoenix) and you find Baby in a large bird's nest where he has eaten the eggs (if you want to pick up the Bronze Mail, go past the nest and through the opening before you go into the nest to wake Baby). When the Galestork returns, you have to fight it (Timeout after the battle) and then rush off out of the cave. When you wake up you are at the Coastal Inn having been rescued by Mr Weatherby. You also meet Bonik and can buy items from him. Part 2 - The Journey In the morning you get Mapster from Mr Weatherby (Whyme in chest blocked by cat - collect it later) and leave for Isten. Spend a bit of time round the Inn improving Baby's levels. Isten: Outside Isten you find Bonik in an argument and you are blackmailed into fighting as a stand-in for one of the candidates for Mayor. This character, Richten, is not a nice guy! Talk to the villagers to find out their opinions (Buccaneer Mail, Kimoni) and after staying at the Inn you get into the battle. This is a no-win fight and your opponents, Darkbeat who thinks he is the Chosen One and Ibkee who looks like a walrus, will whop you. After the fight, Richten disappears (Contributor in his house) and you are free to go to Zed Harbour. Before you rush off, go to the Denime Plains and pick up the items from the Great Tree (Quilted armour, Resetter, Spinach snack, Twisted shield, Twisted sword). Beware of the Pythogre! Zed Harbour: (Minicar, Vampire, Heal bat, Tower shield in cannon). Unfortunately Bonik has bought the last ticket for the ship but the Governor will give you tickets if you get him the Beast Emerald from Kuldo. You have your first meeting with Kalkanor, Ramal and Gwinladan who are supposed to be the good guys but they give Baby the shakes. (The chest in the Governor's house is jammed but collect the Buccaneer sword hidden in his office). On the way you meet Rogo who gives you a stone slate to take to Galik in Carmarthen and you decide to deliver that first. Carmarthen and Kuldo Ruins: (Miner, Bone shield in the mine). Galik is not at home so you go to Kuldo Ruins - do the West side first - (Cheeseburger x2, candy bar x2, Sword of Might, Angel, Freud, Clericy, Foreman, Kuldian armour, Psychodoc, Peach potion) and arrive just in time to see Kalkanor, Ramal and Gwinladin defeat the beast and retrieve the gem. If you feel strong enough, you can fight the winged lion and then receive a White Shield. Go back to Galik's house and deliver the item, and then trudge back to Zed Harbour. When you go to the Governor's house (try the chest again - Baron) Kalkanor takes the stone that Baby found in the nest in the Cave of Fear and gives you tickets for the ship. (I would definitely recommend buying a Ring of Calm at this point as you will need it in Kerple Cave). Jungo: You learn more about Darkbeat and Ibkee, and the Artema Cult. (Ditchmobile, Mi Armour, Ringsider). Buy better equipment and then re-embark on the Zephyr. Kerple: (Be sure to collect Terroroid on the deck during the storm as this is your only chance). Because of Baby's seasickness, you are on deck during a violent storm and you all fall overboard. You and Nehani are washed up on an island but Baby is missing. He has been taken prisoner by the natives and is going to be sacrificed to an evil god, Yugonga, who terrorises them. You have to defeat the god to save Baby. Nehani won't let give into the cave until you have talked to everyone - equip the Ring of Calm. (Kerple and the cave - Mudsy, Hobo Joe, Pippanic, Crystal armour, Crystal shield, cheeseburger, peach potion). After defeating Yugonga, the villagers give you a Flute which summons Chester, a giant water bug. He will take you over water but you can only disembark at a beach. Part 3 - Wider Worlds (At this point you can go anywhere - fighting off pirates all the time but there is a town visible to the north). Den Heldar and the North Tower: (Insectorfly). You learn that a number of the villagers, including the Mayor, a watchmaker from Trisken and Darkbeat and Ibkee have gone to the North Tower but never returned; you go to investigate. (Toughwall, Crystal sword, Douwner, Devils shield). When you reach the roof of the Tower, there's no-one there (Vegas, Splint mail) but when you get back down to the bottom of the stairs you see a monster entering a secret passage, so follow it. You bump into Darkbeat and Ibkee (Mossman) and while they fight the Red monster, you battle the Blue monster. After the battle (Spinach snack in chest) go further in and save Jadik by defeating the Guardian, for which you receive Solomon's Ring. Return to Den Heldar (Windmeister from the Mayor) and then scull off towards Trisken (Stare outside the abandoned house to the far south of Trisken). Trisken: Explore the town (Sacribat, Tarantula) and then go up to the castle. Talk to everyone in the throne room until a theft is discovered and then talk to them all again. Baby will sniff out the thief. Chase and fight him; after the battle receive Water Ring from the noblewoman. When Baby rushes out, go after him. Bystanders in the town will send you in the right direction. The King orders the guards to let you through the gate. (If you haven't explored already, this is the time to do it; train Baby and buy a Freedom Ring). Garam and Ruval Cave: When you arrive in Garam, the road north is blocked so you agree to rescue Ann from the cave. (Sumode in chest) Fight Ruval only to discover that he is not evil. Then Kalkanor and company arrive, and they fight him. You challenge Kalkanor but cannot defeat him. Now the road has been cleared and you can proceed to Denvrado. Denvrado: (Hornet from the singer when you buy his record). Holy Shrine: On your first visit Aruvin is meditating or is it sleeping?. You can rest here. God's Tower: At the entrance you meet Kalkanor and his party again. They are confronting Karmine. Gwinladin is revealed as a traitor but Karmine turns him into a monster, Glor. Kalkanor and Ramal are defeated by him so you fight him. After the battle you return to the Holy Shrine where Aruvin gives you Gabriel. Then back to God's Tower (Miracle sword, Miracle shield, Miracle armour, Spinach snack x2, Snoozeweed, Fire ring, Peach potion). The ordinary enemies in here are bad enough but the bosses are real killers. The only good news is that there is a rest place along some blue steps just before the first boss. Put on your Ring of Calm, fight Anzo, receive Dark Cross, save. Climb higher, fight Lanzo/Ranzi, receive Holy Cross, go back and save. Climb higher. Before you climb the grey steps, equip the Freedom Ring and use items to make sure that you (but not Baby) are at full strength. Karmine has mortally wounded Celestia, Baby's mother, to find the sealed Xizan but he is in Baby. Karmine orders all the Artema cult members to mutate. Darkbeat and Ibkee arrive but lose to Karmine. Then you step forward to challenge him. This is a tricky battle as you are without Baby, and Karmine can paralyze you; without the Freedom Ring you will probably die. After you defeat him, Celestia revives Baby and he flies you out. God's Tower is destroyed as Xizan revives. Part 4 - The Destiny Picard: You wake up in a strange place called Picard (Verseus, Full plate, Great sword, Steel shield) where Darkbeat asks you to get the Holy Armour and gives you the Warp Gate Key. You need to find four books in the library for information. (After this you can fly anywhere on Baby and you can use the Warp Gates, so go back to all the places that you have already visited. Then go on the quest for the Holy Armour. I would suggest doing the Tree and the Kerple Cave first as Castle Ryan and the Nord Temple are difficult). Trisken: Equip your Water Ring, defeat all the gargoyles and have a rest. Then take on the sorcerer Org and a very nasty dragon called Velmine. After the battle you will get Generosity from the King and Dr Snooze from the recruiter. Jungo: Re-equip at Bonik's - the Platinum equipment is the best in the game and you should have plenty of money. Kisa Canyon: (Cheeseburger, Attack sword, Spinach snack, Ninja). Equip your Heat Ring and fight the Holy Dragon. After the battle you find D'Artagnan. Penguii: (Mermaid, caught by the fisherman, Frooze in the snowman). Isten: Rescue Marco from the Artema Cult. After the wedding he will give you Marilyn. Gamar: Go to the cult temple after rescuing Marco and defeat the gargoyle. Now you can open the chest (Championo). Zed Harbour: Defeat the gargoyles and their leader, Bosmie and receive Cheergirl from the Governor after the battle. Carmathen Mine: (Voodoodoll from miner) Den Heldar: (Sermone from Detective Longnose) Rogo's Cave: (Avalanche) Nord Temple: (Frostall, Draken, Obro armour, Wind ring, Obro shield, Aztec sword). This cave is a nightmare as all the enemies have special attacks. The best item to wear is the Heat Ring to prevent freezing. After you defeat the blue Guardian, you receive the Holy Shield. Kerple Cave: After defeating the red Guardian, you receive the Holy Helmet. Castle Ryan: (Dark plate, Dr. Gas, Confuso, Dark shield, Spinach snack x2, Dark sword, Freakz, Classique, Sick weed, Earth ring, Toadstool x2, Cheeseburger, Assassin). Equip your Ring of Calm and make your way downstairs to talk to the owl. Then press the red switches and fight the purple Guardian. Receive the Holy Sword. Denime Great Tree: After defeating the green Guardian, you receive the Holy Armour. When you have found 68 Living Toys go back to Zeppetto's house and he will give you his final masterpiece, Legend. Return to Orgo and have a rest in your house. Hey presto! The 70th Living Toy will appear (Peacemaker). Part 5 - Last Battle When you have got all the Holy Armour, go back to Picard and save. Then talk to Darkbeat. The armour doesn't fit him so you try it on and are immediately transported to the Throne of the Holy Warrior. You have to defeat Darwin and he can then send you to face Xizan. Make sure you have plenty of Peach potions. When Darwin shoots you into the sky, you meet Karmine who is now a monster and Darkbeat and Ibkee fight him again. Xizan appears in the distance and Nehani talks to you. You have to fight Xizan three times. The first time hack at him until Baby tries to attract your attention. Talk to him and choose Guardian. He will transform and use Seal and then Final Charge. Hooray, you've won. But no. At the start of the next battle, use Timeout to get back to full strength and then hit him again (try using Draken and D'Artagnan). Eventually he will cast Armageddon and you die. Oh no. Nehani uses Solomon's Ring and you both revive with full HP and Pp. Final battle (try Draken and D'Artagnan again). You win!! Watch the end credits to find out what happens to everyone - not a dry eye in the house. Living Toys: Some of the Toys are not available until after the destruction of God's Tower.
