For this FAQ, I'm preparing the complete general list, soldier list, and walktrough for others characters... I almost done the general type list! I'll update this version soon! And for the great Dragon Force 2 players ! If you guys want to discuss a little about the game in hope to exchange some ideas on the game, you can send me e-mail to grandc@indosat.net.id ! I'll be very happy if you can help me to complete this FAQ!!! ABOUT THE GAME Dragon Force II is the best strategy game for Sega Saturn. This is the sequel of Dragon Force I. This game can be pretty confusing to those that never play the prequel, so I'll explain them as much detail as possible... This game sets in a land called Legendra. There is eight big kingdom. You play as one of the king. The eight kings have a diffrent story. Your mission is to reunite all the king and save Legendra from Madruk (evil who wants to destroy Legendra). WALKTROUGH The walktrough section... I love this. Well there's only five character's walktrough in this. But I promise, I'll complete the others. And if you have a better walktrogh, don't worry... Send it to me... I'll put here too! 1. Evers Walktrough First, conquer all the kingdoms, and reunite the 8 kings. You'd better beat Batsu first. If you attack Bozack or Izumo, Kadae and Gangas won't join you anyway. Then beat Shen. Go to a tower in the center of Legendra. Now go to Bozack and Izumo, and Kadae and Gangas will join. After that, Renie will join you without battle. Beat Adelva, and finally beat Sanice. Adelva won't join you if you don't beat one of Madruk's general (located in the south of Tristan). Beat him, and Adelva will join you. Then, go to Moon Palace for a scene. Renie will leave your party. You can find her in a city near Bozack (always bring the Dragon Force members with you at this point) After Renie rejoin with you, go to Moon Shrine (east of Moon Palace) for a cool FMV. After a long scane (plus cool FMVs) go to a city near the end dungeon. Then the barrier will be broken, and you have to beat three Madruk's general. After that bring all the kings to the tower in the end dungeon, and you'll open the path to the Madruk's Domain. A good character to get at the beginning of the game is Gigg (the Dragon from Dragon Force 1) in a city in the south east of Legendra (near forest). 2. Shen Walktrough (submitted by DEL and Steve Vieri) Like Evers, first conquer all the kingdoms, and reunite the 8 kings. Kaede will join you when you arrive in the south city of Topaz. You'll lost it after you'd beaten Batsu (she had been kidnapped by one of your general). Continue your journey to Evers. A Madruk general appear after that. Beat Madruk's general in a city, then go to a tower. After that beat Gangas. Go to the north, to the Adelva's kingdom. After a scane (you won't be able to fight Adelva). Go to one of Izumo kingdom, you'll find Kadae and fight your ex-general. Continue your journey to Adelva and Sanice, beat them. Finally go to Moon Palace, and Renie will join you. After you reunite all the kings, go to the tower at the center of Legendra. Go back to the Moon Palace, visit the Moon Shrine, Renie will leave your party. After that, go to Bozack. You can find her in a city near Bozack. Head back to Moon Shrine to open the last dungeon. Go to Izumo to find the holy swords. After that go to the city near the last dungeon to break the seal (Shen and Kaede must in the same team). After a long scane (plus cool FMVs). You have to beat three Madruk's general. After that bring all the kings to the tower in the end dungeon, and you'll open the path to the Madruk's Domain. 3. Kaede's Walktrough (submitted by Zero Alpha) First conquer all the kingdoms, and reunite the 8 kings. Shen will join you when you arrive in the south city of Topaz. Beat Madruk's general in a cities, then go to a tower. Sanice and Adelva won't join you yet. Finally go to Moon Shrine, make sure that Kadae, Shen and Renie are on the same team. After that go to a city nare Bozack. Head back to Moon Shrine (Kadae, Shen and Renie must be in the same team) to open the last dungeon (Adelva and Sanice will now join you). Go to Izumo to find the holy swords. After that go to the city near the last dungeon to break the seal (Kadae and Shen must be on the same team). After a long scane (plus cool FMVs), you have to beat three Madruk's general. After that bring all the kings to the tower in the end dungeon (make sure, again, that Shen and Kadae are on the same team), and you'll open the path to the Madruk's Domain 4. Renie's Walkthrough (submitted by Enygma) First, let's start out with some tips. As you probably know by now, Renie is one of (if not the) worst fighter in the game. However, she is one of the most potent magically speaking. Her biggest downfall, magically, is that she doesn't really have a spell that attacks the enemy generals, until later levels. Renie's strength is in her ability to heal, revive her troops, and recover her own magic points. She is still one of the top generals you can use, because of her healing abilties. She can take out a rather hefty troop, depending on how many magic points she has. It is my suggestion that you get her some new troops, and upgrade to 100 as soon as possible (I got lucky and got Angel Harpies early, Calvary are also very nice). Also, whenever you get Astea and Dragon statues, that you give them to her. Max HP is 127..and probably 40 magic points should be pleanty. And above all else, remember this rule. Unless the enemy general is about 10 HP or below, DO NOT DUEL WITH RENIE! You might get lucky once in a while, but more times than not, you'll see the "Game Over" screen. If you follow these guidelines, you'll make Renie into a force to be reconned with. Renie starts out with probably what you already know (since you had to finish the game to choose her). 500 years ago, The Moon Palace Queen was a young lady named Teiris. It ends up, Dragon Force 1 ended with Queen Teiris gathering the Dragon Force together and defeating the vile Madruk. So, as Renie's senario begins, Palemoon is in some real trouble. You'll find that one of Madruk's Top Generals, the Knight Looking Fella, (I'm translating his name as Esutan, but if anyone knows different feel free to correct me, my Japanese is very limited), is blocking your path down into Tristan and the rest of the mainland. Fear not! There is a back door, into Topaz. You probably didn't even notice it (I didn't for the first 3 turns). Its probably still a good idea for you fortify your castles a few turns, and see if your can't turn up some free agent generals to occupy them. Some type of warrior crests would be lovely too. Renie starts out with only archers and mages, which are really the bottom of the barrel unless you plan on fighting harpies for a living. So soldiers, theives, whatever you can get (Calvary are rather nice.) You'll also notice that one of your loyalist generals goes AWOL on you. Not to worry, he'll be back. Right now just focus on the 4 loyalists you do have. So you start your trek into Topaz. It is my suggestion that you not only take Renie, but put her on the front line of the offensives. She's not going to get any stronger, sitting in the Moon Palace looking at the walls :). Unfortunately for you, the trip into Topaz is cut short pretty early. As you enter the first town in Topaz, you are turned back by Shen, the King of Topaz. So now you're stuck again. There's no way to go, right? Wrong. Look at the castle that Madruk's Monkey Boy was in. He's vanished, only leaving on Grunt to protect it. Now don't get too excited. This Zombie General has 100 troops to his command, plus he's no slouch. (When I faught him, he was a Wizard, but he could very well be a Knight as well, so be prepared for either or!) So attack that castle! This is where some of those Calvary would work out nicely, if you could get any. Calvary have an advantage over these zombie troops. Anyway, you find this to be a pretty tough battle, so take 5 generals. (I *always* suggest taking your loyalist generals only. Loyalists will stick with you through thick and thin, and you don't have to reward them for winning battles. Free agents, or generals that you capture from rouge castles, or find randomly, expect to be rewarded for such efforts. I tend to leave these free agents in backwater castles that I have already taken. There are exceptions, but in most cases, you're better off sticking with your loyalists.) After a rather challenging battle, you will win (you hope :) ). Now you can strike at Tristan. It is my suggestion that you take as many of Tristan's castles as possible, taking as many loyalists prisoner as possible. Then you can strike at the very heart of Tristan, and defeat Adelva without too much of a fuss. Adelva will join you during the next domestic affairs meeting, so make sure to free all of his loyalists that turn. After taking Tristan, Topaz decides to start pushing into your terrirory, so its a pretty good idea to divide your loyalists (Tristan's as well) into two groups. Renie and Adelva should take 3 with them, while the others should back track and defend your castles against Topaz's forces. Divide them up well, and I'll tell you why. Firstly, your next invasion should be to Trandor. Many of their generals use monks, which have an advantage over Tristan's robot platoons. Also, you'll be defending against Topaz, who primarily have theives, which, guess what, also have an advantage against Tristan's robots. So divide them well, and be sure to use the rewards you get to keep your troop count high for both castles. Of course, this is just my honest opinion. Next head into Trandor, and be prepared for a little tussle in there. The wizards put up more than a fight to defend their home turf. They will probably be limited to their normal 3 castles as well, so they should be well fortified. After taking it to them, Sanice will join you. I suggest dividing up the generals again, this time mixing and matching the cream of the crop from the best 3 Kingdoms (this may, or may not include Sanice, she's along the same lines of fighting as Renie, but has good magic). Send your other generals to the castle you're fortifying to protect from Topaz invasion, and take your 5 hot shots down into Izumo. I haven't mentioned this yet, but your free agent generals that you'repicking up (during domestic affairs or letting them our of prison, they are not loyal to any particular country though..you know who they are) should be used to fortify the castles you take and not used all that much. Normally I find that one general per castle should be more than enough. Take in mind, these are the castles *not* under invasion. There's no sense in keeping 10 generals in one castle deep in your own territory. Know what I mean? :) Now you can push south into Izumo. Expect another donny brooke down here. The Samurai also seem to hold a distinct advantage over Tristan's robots, but fall quickly to powerful troop types, such as Angel Harpies or Calvary. Once defeated, Kaede, the Queen of Izumo, does not join you, and she disappears, along with one of her loyalist generals. Her other loyalists refuse to join you, and will remain in prison. Now push down into Bozack. Chances are, this will not be too difficult. Bozack's beasts are not to tough to overcome. You'll notice on the way down that one of Madruk's Zombies has taken a castle, keeping Bozack in some serious trouble. Head into the castle, and whip the Zombie good. After his defeat, Gangas, the King of Bozack, will join you without a fight. If you have any of his loyalist in prison, be sure to free them. Now head west into Highland. The going trend seems to be Madruk's forces baracading. Like with Bozack, Highland is in trouble. Madruk has taken a castle that prevents Highland's troops from moving anywhere (Thus, you'll notice that Fandaria is dominating the southwest portion of the world, this will probably end up being your toughest war). Anyway, take it to Madruk's forces. Dragon Force alumni should recognize the leader. The lady that you love to have on your team, and the one you hate to fight, the Succubus, Uryll. Luckily, she's not sporting the Dragon battalions that she had in the first game. She does, however, still have the power to revive her dead, and also sports a very nasty fireball spell, with pleanty of magic points to put the hurt onto you. Spank them real good (its not easy, but not terribly hard either), and the King of Highland, Evers, will join you. Now its time to move into Fandaria. Chances are, they have a lot of generals, but not many of them are fortifing their castles in the east (they are also having it out with Topaz, remember). Gigg, the Dragon from Dragon Force 1, is in the town down south of Fandaria, as usual, but at this point in the game, leveling him up would be rather wasteful. Push into Fandaria and let Batsu have it. After a fearsome fight, he will accept defeat gracefully and join you. Now all that's left is Topaz! Well, as you push north, Shen cuts you off in the first town in his region, and joins you without a fight (after all the trouble he's been giving your home territory, you'd think he'd apologize, right? :) ). So now all the castles are flying under the Palemoon flag! About this time, you'll be invaded by some of Madruk's Zombies. Probably about 3 or 4. Send your loyalists around the world and take your castles back (I used my assembled Dragon Force, but its totally up to you and how much time you want to waste). You'll also notice one of Madruk's generals in a town near Highland. Make sure to take your Dragon Force here and whail on him. Watch out though, he's not alone, and he's one of Madruk's top generals. Be ready for a slobberknocker. After this, a tower will open up. Head in there for a cut scene involving Teiris. Apparently, she's still alive. Take a small detour into Bozack and go to the infamous city there (you should remember this from where Renie likes to hide in other senerios). You'll be ambushed by a Zombie. The fight shouldn't be all that tough. After the fight, you'll find Kaede and her loyalist general. I bet you forgot about her by now :). Anyway, she gladly joins, and the Dragon Force is assembled! How head north, back to the Moon Palace (where you started :P ). A slick FMV happens, where Renie revives Teiris, who has remained in suspended animation for 500 years (she also appears to be more "womanly" and the girlish Teiris we're all used to). Renie passes out, but succeeds. Suddenly, Madruk's troops appear, and your cornered. Renie wakes up just in time to lead her friends into battle. Again, its only one Zombie, and not hard. After the battle, return to the Moon Palace again, where Teiris informs you about the Dragon Force 500 years ago, and all that stuff. Madruk's Lair rises from the sea now. Now its on. You're almost finished! Uh oh, looks like Madruk's forces have taken Renie's home castle! Better act quickly! Well, this guy should look pretty familiar. If he's not Gaul, he's good at immitating! The fight will be stiff, but nothing you can't handle. Head back to the Moon Palace after Gaul's defeat. Teiris now accompanies you (she doesn't join you, like to fight, so calm down). Take your Dragon Force down into the Town closest to the barrier around Madruk's lair. Look out! Its an Ambush! Gaul and Uryll are back for revenge! The fight isn't all that hard, athough Uryll can be a real pain with her revive spells. After the battle, observe the cool FMV of Renie and Teiris bringing down the barrier around Madruk's inner lair. From here, its up to you! Its a straight shot to Madruk, with no twists or turns in the storyline. Just keep on going. You've done it before (had to, to play with Renie :) ). My tips are, continue to fight with Renie. By this time, she should be able to really hold her own out on the battle field. Still remember my first rule about dueling though ;). Also try and get many of your Dragon Force members some Calvary. They hold a definite advantage over most of Madruk's generals. Only his top 3 generals and Madruk himself use a more powerful version. These can be overcome by sheer numbers :). Good luck! 5. Adelva's Walktrouhgh (submitted by Steve Vieri) Firstly, conquer all the castles belonging to Renie. After that go to Madruk's Generals and they'll join you. Defeat Kaede and then Evers. Evers, Kaede, and Sanice will then join you whilst Madruk Generals will leave you. After that defeat Gangas, followed by Batsu, and finally Shen. Shen'll join you without a fight. Go to the tower in the center and then the city just below it. Renie will then join you. Go to the city near Bozack (bring Gangas) and go to the Moon Palace. After that go to the city near the seal and then go to the Robot Factory. Return to the city to break the seal. Defeat the three madruk's Generals and finally go and defeat Madruk.
