Note that the red spaces are spaces for you to run away. Press X to confirm the movement and a menu will pop out:- Attack : Daniel attacks using his moves. Another menu will pop out which is his moves menu Standby : Daniel will just stand there. Call : Another menu will emerge. This menu is a list of all your available monsters. Choose your monster and choose the place where you will summon it. Summoning takes time according to the calling factor of your monster. Note that you can only call 3 monsters. If you call more, the extra monster will be unsummoned Directions: After your monster emerges in combat, you will give it a general direction. To change this during combat, use this command. A menu will pop out:- Attack : Tells your monster to attack Defense : Tells your monster to attack with caution Suicide : Tells your monster to attack relentlessly Assistance: Tells your monster to use assisting spells/abilities during combat Return Recovery : This is used to recover/unsummon your monsters during combat.

WALKTHROUGH ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2.1 Journey To Len Bal Daniel is on his way to Len Bal. But on the way, he accidentally overhears a conversation between Murdoch and Dryden. Because of this, he was caught listening and attacked. This is a battle that you will lose no matter how hard you try. Just try to get use to the basic combat controls. 2.2 A Job Daniel wakes up in Kal's house. Her grandfather, Wolf, saved you. After some talking, you find out that you can find a job if you go and see the Town Chief. Wolf leaves and Kal says that she would like to get her hands on a book called "Odyu - Book 3". Go out of the house and you will be challenged by 2 monsters, Uru and Acorn, for some reason. This is a very easy battle, just attack using Daniel's Tornado Uppercut. Continue your journey and you will see an old man walking around in the Town Plaza.He tells you that if you defeat all low level opponents in the Arena, you can get a job. He will also give you some seeds and some normal solutions. You will also get some money. Go to the Soulin Fighting Monster,Item Store and hatch some seeds(see Section 3.1 for details). Also you can buy some items in Morgan Department Store if you wish. When you are ready, go to the Arena and defeat all level E enemies(you can exit and rest in the White Armor Inn in between matches if you wish). After defeating the enemies, go and speak to the Town Chief again. The Town Chief says that you have to save a merchant,Mao, from the Bal's Fortress. 2.3 Bal's Fortress Before I go on, I would just like to say that some rooms that you go into has a possibility of an encounter and also some rooms contain random treasure every time you have rested and made your way into Bal's Fortress. I will just give details on some important things to look out for. There are also traps which are easy to avoid, just look out. When you enter the fortress, there are 2 passages. To the right is a room(there might be treasure(s)). Take the left one and keep going till you reach a place with 3 routes. To the right is a library. Get "Odyu - Book 3" from the bookshelf. Go back out and take the left passage(you can take the top passage over the stairs to get some encounters and treasure). There is a room with a locked door. Investigate it and exit Bal's Fortress. Go back to Kal and give her the book. She says she also wants a Blue Necklace. Go into Bal's Fortress again into the same room and you will be challenged by the first boss of the game. Keri:- He is quite tough and you have to acquire some powerful monster before you decide to go against him. Like you, he can summon 3 monsters unlike the low level opponents. Also the space to fight is quite tight and using the wrong strategies will work against you. Try to lure his monsters out into the wider space. After defeating Keri, you will get a key. You can now open the locked door. Follow the passge (it is almost straight forward from here), and you will be challenged by another boss:- This boss has already a tough monster with him. Make sure you call a monster which can heal such as a Porschka. Try to summon some creatures with powerful battling offensive stats and a good life force. Continue on and you will be faced by the final boss of the mission,Tyson, just before the prison. Tyson:- Another tough one. But just try to use brute force. Tyson is more tougher than any ruler you have faced. He has quite a high defence so I would recommend a Noot here to lower his stats. After defeating Tyson, go into the prison and you will see Mao in on of the cells. Try to talk to him and he will ignore you. Go to the other door in the corner and investigate the lever. Pull the lever to release Mao. Go back inside and Mao will greet you. He will also give you some "Dark Seeds".
