Hey, sup people. It's quite a long time since I wrote a FAQ, especially if it's
a Gameboy Advance Game. Just to let you know, this is my second FAQ, yes thats
2nd FAQ, that I have written. I actually kind of enjoy writing FAQs because it
actually expresses your individuality on how well you play games and the
knowledge of it. I've been very dedicated this game ever since I got it. There
aren't even much Multiplayer RPGs made. Games such as Seiken Densetsu series
(Secret of mana 1,2, Sword of Mana, Legend of Mana, etc.) are hard to come by
and find. I hope you know by then that these games are my most favorable to
play.

This game has a variety of things to do but mostly in RPG games it's just
trying to level up to the highest level. This game has a level capture of 200,
which means that you can level up to level 200 and you won't level up anymore.
It's amazing how far you can actually level up in this game. I don't see much
games that even let you surpass the levels 99 or even 100. As you can see, RPG
games makes you devoted to the game. If you just simply play for the storyline
or just fun factor then you're wasting you time here playing this game because
the game is awfully short. There are two difficulties for this game. One is
normal and the other is Advance. Obviously Advance Mode is a lot harder than
you think. This game is just like Diablo 2, you get to go to dungeons and fight
enemies, find items, etc. The questing part in this game is different than
many other games you may have played. When you enter a dungeon from the world
map, you start the dungeon all over again, meaning the enemies will be back in
their spawning places. However, when you return to a dungeon from the town, you
continue from the point of where you left off. This game's conversation is
very annoying. Sometimes you are allowed to read ahead fast by pressing the A
button and most of the times the game scrolls the words by itself, making the
ending and credits atleast 14 pain-in-the-ass minutes long for just 3
paragraphs of dialogue. There's a lot more about the game but you'll find out
when you play it. This game also features multiplayer but obviously you need
another Gameboy Advance/Sp and SSII catridge. Try to get one of your friends to
get hooked into this game and you will have endless possiblities of fun,
ranging from dueling to adventuring and playing stupid mini-games. What are you
waiting for? Turn on your Gameboy Advance with your Shining Soul II game in it
and play!!! That is unless you are playing a rom version, which I suggest you
not to because it is less fun that way. PROVE you are worthy of not cheating
and get this game!

--- V. About the Characters ---
You turn on the game and start making a character and then you say "WOW!, there
are so many characters in this game!!!". There are a total of 8 characters in
this game available to you now. There is 1 hidden character and you can only

--- VI. Skills of the Characters ---
Each character has their own different and unique skill. Some skills are also
shared with other characters but they are still the same. When investing in a
skill(a.k.a pumping into a skill) be wise because one wrong move and you are
screwed. Luckly you can see small results when you pump into the desired skill
and you have to confirm your transaction to see if you like it or not.
Everytime you level up once you gain 1 skill point. At a level 0 skill, it
takes 1 skill point to raise it to level 1. After that, it takes 2 skills
points to level up to 2. So the basic formula for the required skill point to
raise a level is: to level up= + 1.
ex: to level up to 6= 5 + 1 which equals 6.
Always try to go for the best possible skill available to you. Don't just
randomly distribute it into many different skills or you'll end up with a hard
to level up and screwed up character. With the remaining skill points after you
level up, if you don't have enough to level a skill, save it up until the next
level. It takes a total of 28 skill points to max out a skill. The maximum a
skill level can go up to is 7. Good luck and have fun distrubuting your points
wisely.
Notes: Just about every skill in this game is passive, meaning that it is
automatically in effect so you don't have to cast it. Weapon skills such as
Rod, or Sword are charge attacks. In order to do a charge attack for any
weapon, you must invest atleast 1 point into it. With each point invested in
it, it adds attack power to your weapon + allows you to now do a charge up
attack. The amount of power added to weapons depends on the regular attack
power of the weapon. More attack power of weapon = more attack power added.
This skill does not add more power if the weapon has like a + attribute to it,
neither if the suffix of the item or the properties of the item adds to attack
power.
ex: Long sword of Night + 6. The game takes the original attack power of the
weapon and adds an amount depending on the weapon skill level. Also when
charging you may be hit by enemies and if you do get hit your charge is
canceled. This is the same if you release your charge and you are hit during
your charge attack. Howerver there are some skills that when active will not
interrupt your charge.
Class: Warrior
Skills:
--- Sword ---
Sword attack damage is added and allows you to do a charge attack. How it looks
like is with each charge level you rush foward and you do a slash. The higher
the charge level, the farther you rush foward.
--- Axe ---
Axe attack damage is added and allows you to do a charge attack. How it looks
like is very simple. At every charge level, you stop and spin around with your
axe, attacking anybody near you. This skill is great when getting mobbed as it
does damage and knocks them back.
--- Spear ---
Spear attack damage is added and allows you to do a charge attack. How it looks
is very cool. You do many stabs similar to some games you may have seen/played
such as from Street Fighter's E.Honda's Hundred Hand Slap or Chun-Li's
Lightning Kicks, but instead, replace them with spear-stabs. With each charge
level you can do more stabs. While unleashing your attack you are able to move
around back and forth or left and right.
--- Shield ---
Shield defense up and allows you to parry with a small chance. For this skill
to work you must equip a shield, any kind of shield. You have a small chance of
blocking an enemies physical attack and with each level you have a higher
success. This skill does not stack up with the Warrior's Armor Up even though
it raises defense of all equipment. Shield has it's own category so if combined
with Armor Up it would be too powerful. You will notice the block when you hear
a strange sound and you see a shield appearing in front of your character.
However if you charge your weapon up and happen to get hit during a charge, if
you block successfully you will be able to contine your charge without having
to start over again. The damage you take when you block is also reduced to
less than 20 damage and sometimes even a single digit!
--- Armor Up ---
This skill raises the defense of every armor. This skill is very cheap because
the more defense you have the less damage you take. Even with a crappy armor
you can have like a +50(and more) added defense just wearing it.
--- Efficacy ---
This skill allows you to get healed more with every item you use. The skill
effects HP healing items and SP healing items. With each level in this skill
items heal more and with this maxed out it heals up to double the effect.
So, ex: Healing Water heals 200hp. Level of skill is 4.
200 * .70 = + 140. Total healing = 200 + 140 = 340!!!
--- Counter ---
This skill has a bug in it. Although it does wut it does, which is counter with
a low chance when you are damage, it somewhat does not work in this game. I
have no idea why but somehow Sega probably forgot to program it. Do not waste
your skill points on this because this skill WILL NOT work.
--- Tactics ---
This skill increases your attack, allowing you to do more damage. With each
level, it adds a small amount. This skill affects everybody if you are playing
in multiplayer. Great with 4 Warriors, not recommended when solo but the extra
attack power is not bad.
Class: Sorceress
Skills:
--- Rod ---
Rod attack damage is added and allows you to do a charge attack. How it looks
like is you just swing your rod twice doing 2 hits and it acutally knocks
enemies back with every successful hit. This skill is not recommended to use
because it is a melee skill and the Sorceress is a spellcaster type. For those
who want a challenge, go ahead and use this skill.
--- Blaze ---
This skill allows you to use Blaze spellbooks to cast magic out of them. How it
looks like is you shoot a fireball in front of you, doing fire type damage.
With each level in this skill, the sp cost increases, the fireball gets larger
and does more damage. Fire also has an effect of doing an extra small amount of
damage.
--- Freeze ---
This skill allows you to use Freeze spellbooksto cast magic out of them. How it
looks like is you shoot a blue crystal in front of you, doing ice type damage.
With each level in this skill, the sp cost increases, the crystal gets larger
and does more damage. This spell also can richochet off enemies or turn
directions if it has reached its maximum range and seek a nearby enemy. With
each richochet/turn it will do less damage. Every level above 1 will increase
the amount of times it can richochet off. What's also nice about this skill is
that when dealing with large monsters(body-wise) invoke this spell right up
their face and it will sometimes richochet off the enemy itself causing two
attacks at the same time. Ice also has an effect of freezing an enemy.
--- Spark ---
This skill allows you to use Spark spellbooks to cast magic out of them. How it
looks like is you call down a lighting bolt in front of you, doing lightning
type damage. With each level in this skill, the sp cost increases, the
lightning area range increases and does more damage. Lightning also has an
effect of stunning an enemy.
--- Blast ---
This skill allows you to use Blast spellbooks to cast magic out of them. How it
looks like is you summon a cyclone in front of you, doing physical damage based
on your intelligence! With each level in this skill, the sp cost increases, the
cyclone gets bigger, travels longer and does more damage. This is the only
skill the soceress has that is non-elemental and yet this is a spell so that
means it cannot miss its target. At earlier levels it's not really good and
worth using but at higher levels and with good intelligence it is the right
spell to use because the cyclone travels somewhat at a medium speed, allowing
to hit enemies constantly and the cyclone will follow enemies, circling them
until they die. However there is a limit to the amount of hits it will do
before it disappears.
--- Inferno ---
This skill allows you to use Inferno spellbooks to cast magic out of them. How
it looks like is you engulf enemeis around you, doing fire type damage. With
each level in this skill, the sp cost increases and damage increases. This
skill affects multiple enemies and at higher levels it you can basically keep
walking while enemies are chasing you and still do damage at the same time. The
charge up time is very slow compared to blaze and by that time you could invoke
two level 7 blaze spells at less than half the sp cost! This spell is great
when you have maxed out Int.(so you don't have to worry about sp that much) and
when speed leveling up. Just run around while charging, unleash it and keep
walking. Fire also has an effect of doing an extra small amount of damage.
--- Magic Shield ---
This skill allows you to use Magic Shield spellbooks to cast magic out of them.
The spell adds to your defense and if playing in multiplayer, any ally near you
will recieve this spell. You have a glow around you to tell you that the spell
is still in effect. With each level in this skill, the sp cost increases and
duration increases. This is like the Warrior's Shield skill but needs to be
activated. When you charge and happen to get hit by an enemy while charging,
you will continue to charge without having to starting over again. The damage
you take is also reduced.
--- Meditate ---
This skill is passive and allows you to regenerate your SP at a quicker rate.
With more skill levels in this the regeneration time is increased. This skill
is best benefited if you have a lot of SP. This is your least priority skill to
invest in because you can buy items to heal your sp and they are dirt cheap.
Save your skill points into an elemental spell and use items to heal instead.
Class: Archer
Skills:
--- Bow ---
Bow attack damage is added and allows you to do a charge attack. How it looks
like is you shoot many arrows at enemies. With every charge level, you shoot
more arrows attacking multiple enemies. You are allowed to change directions
while the attack is in progress.
--- Spear ---
Spear attack damage is added and allows you to do a charge attack. How it looks
like is you throw a spear in front of you and it can pierce through enemies.
Piercing is going through an enemy and hitting any enemies that are behind it.
With every skill level the damage increases.
--- Range ---
"Increases throwing range" , as what the description says, is not all it does.
It does, however, increase the throwing range of the spear but also increases
the range of the arrow when you shoot your bow. With each level in this skill
the weapon range goes farther. Sega should of wrote: "increase weapon range"
to clarify what it means. This skill should be your middle priority. Level up
this skill about every 2 levels of your desired weapon skill.
--- Enchant ---
Charms an enemy to your side, fighting for you. You will notice when you
charmed an enemy by a "heart" symbol above the enemies head. With each skill
level you have a better chance of charming them and the duration lasts longer.
If the charmed enemy is hit by you then the heart disappears and they will turn
against you, but of course if you are lucky enough you can charm them again
even if they were already.
--- Anti-Flying ---
This skill increases damage done to air-type creatures such as bats and
faeries. A fairly good skill to use but don't pump into it that much. Just
enough points to take down those annoying Harpies in 2 shots(or even 1!) is
good enough.
--- Summon ---
This skill allows you to use Summon Spellbooks to cast magic out of them. For a
decent amount of SP you can summon a forest creature to fight for you. Except
that these creatures are useless so it makes this skill even more worthless to
use. With each skill level you can summon different creatures and allows it to
do more hits before the spell has to be recasted. Do not waste your points into
this skill because the damage of the creatures summoned are slim to nothing.
--- Critical ---
This skill increases your chance to do a critical hit. With more points into it
it increases your chance for critical hits to occur. A critical hit is simply
doing double damage. You will notice a critcal when you see stars appearing
right after your hit.
--- Healing ---
This skill will allow you to regenerate HP just like you can regenerate SP. It
also affects nearby allies in multi-player mode making even better with four
characters with this ability. At higher levels you can regenerate HP really
quickly, making you use potions only in emergencies and saving you some gold. I
wouldn't put a skill point into this at all but maybe late in levels but if you
want, 1 point won't be so bad because atleast you can gain something.
Class: Dragonute
Skills:
--- Axe ---
Axe attack damage is added and allows you to do a charge attack. How it looks
like is you swing your axe in a 360 degrees motion while moving in the
direction you faced. With every charge level you do more damage and the
distance traveled is longer.
--- Flail ---
Flail attack damage is added and allows you to do a charge attack. How it looks
like is you stand motionless and first swing your flail in a 360 degree motion
many times(doing very little damage to those who come near it) then you swing
your flail(like you do for a regular attack )in the direction you're facing,
knocking them back with this last hit. This skill and weapon is not recommended
for the Dragonute because it is VERY slow and although flails are the most
powerful weapons in the game, it is still too slow to use.
--- Shield ---
Shield defense up and allows you to parry with a small chance. For this skill
to work you must equip a shield, any kind of shield. You have a small chance of
blocking an enemies physical attack and with each level you have a higher
success. This skill does not stack up with the Dragonute's Armor Up even though
it raises defense of all equipment. Shield has it's own category so ifcombined
with Armor Up it would be too powerful. You will notice the block when you hear
a strange sound and you see a shield appearing in front of your character.
However if you charge your weapon up and happen to get hit during a charge, if
you block successfully you will be able to contine your charge without having
to start over again. The damage you take when you block is also reduced to
less than 20 damage and sometimes even a single digit!
--- Armor Up ---
This skill raises the defense of every armor. This skill is very cheap because
the more defense you have the less damage you take. Even with a crappy armor
you can have like a +50(and more) added defense just wearing it.
--- Break Armor ---
This passive skill allows you to reduce the monster's defense with every
successful attack you land on them. More skill points = more defense taken off.
The defense reduced is not noticable but you can tell if you do more damage
when you continue to hit them. This skill is good for long battles, like
bosses. Or you can take a very weak weapon with considerably good prefix or
stats on it and this Break Armor skill will make up for the damage by reducing
the enemies defense with every attack.
--- Breath ---
This skill is a counterattack. When you are hit you will have a chance of
countering by breathing fire on enemies. With every skill level the damage
increases significantly. This skill is better than the Brawler's counterattack
because it can target multiple enemies while the Brawler's counter can only
target one. However, this skill has a lower chance of initiating than the
Brawlers.
--- Weaken ---
This skill is instantly activated when enemies are near you. It will lower the
attack power of monsters nearby making them do less damage.
--- Magic Res ---
The Dragonute doesn't get cheaper than this... This skill increases all of your
resistances and with each level it increases it even more. This is probably the
best skill in the game because later in the game the enemies would start using
spells constantly and without this skill you would be dead. Increase this once
you are in advanced mode and get up to 40 resistance to everything and you
should do fine without wasting more skill points into this.. yet.
Class: Priestess
Skills:
--- Rod ---
Rod attack damage is added and allows you to do a charge attack. How it looks
like is you swing your rod over your head, putting all your might into that
attack and it will knock enemies back with every successful hit. This skill is
not recommended to use because rods are the weakest weapon in the game that
actually lets you charge up.
--- Flail ---
Flail attack damage is added and allows you to do a charge attack. How it looks
like is you fly foward doing a foward spin (or roll) and during your flying
animation you hit once and during your roll you hit another, for a grand total
of 2 hits! This is the skill recomended for a melee priestess. With every
charge level the damage is significantly increased and the distance of flying
is increased.
--- Heal ---
This skill allows you to use Heal Spellbooks to cast magic out of them. This is
your answer to the "How to heal without using items" question. The SP cost is
quite high at each level. At each charge level the SP cost increases and the
amount of hp it heals increases. This skill also affects allies nearby in
multiplayer AND it is such a fast skill to charge up, making it very overated.
--- Protect ---
This skill allows you to use Protect spellbooks to cast magic out of them. This
skill increases your defense by 20 each level temporary and also affects allies
nearby in multiplayer. When cast it has a blue glow around you indicating that
the spell is still in effect. With each skill level the SP cost increases and
the defense added is increased. At all levels, this spell lasts about 1 minute.
--- Resist ---
This skill allows you to use Resist spellbooks to cast magic out of them. This
skill increases all of your resistance by 10 each level temporary and also
affects allies nearby in multiplayer. When cast it has a yellow glow around you
indicating that the spell is still in effect. With each skill level the SP cost
increases and resistance added is increased. At all levels, this spell lasts
about 1 minute.
--- Bless ---
This skill allows you to use Bless spellbooks to cast magic out of them. This
skill increases all of your stats by 8 each level temporarly and also affects
allies nearby in multiplayer. When cast it has a yellow glow around you
indicating that the spell is still in effect. With each skill level the SP cost
increases and stat points added is increased. At all levels, this spell lasts
about 2 minutes. Using this skill basically levels you up temporarly by 8 x
level of charged skill.
--- Shining Aura ---
This skill allows you to use Shining Aura spellbooks to cast magic out of them.
This skill creates a clear circular barrier around you, making everything that
touches you(or you touching them) get hit by Light element type damage. With
each skill level the SP cost increases and amount of damage inflicted is
increased. At all levels, this spell lasts about 4 seconds. If you are not
going melee with the Flail Skill then this is the only spell that does damage
for the Priestess. This skill is very useful against all enemies that are weak
against Light Element.
--- Meditate ---
This skill is passive and allows you to regenerate your SP at a quicker rate.
With more skill levels in this the regeneration time is increased. This skill
is best benefited if you have a lot of SP. This is your least priority skill to
invest in because you can buy SP healing items and they are dirt cheap.
Class: Brawler
Skills:
--- Claws ---
Claw attack damage is added and allows you to do a charge attack. How it looks
like is you rush foward and attack swinging your claws like a maniac doing 3
hits. With every charge level you rush foward quicker and the distance rushed
is increased. Overall a very cheap skill because you attack 3 times very
quickly and in less than 1 second you can do a total of 6 hits.
--- Knife ---
Knife attack damage is added and allows you to do a charge attack. How it looks
like is you spin around like a maniac, damaging enemies during the animation.
While you are spinning around you are able to move around. With every charge
level, you can do more hits and the stabbing lasts a tiny bit longer.
--- Evade ---
This skill increases your chance to dodge physical damage and only physical
damage, that means not magic, duh!. With more points into it it increases your
chances to evade. Do not use with Counter because, though it does not
counteract with it, it's just not a good combination because why would you pump
skill points into Counter when you're evading all the time? But then, if in
those cases you don't Evade, maybe Counter will kick in and consider yourself
lucky then. Great skill but remember to only go with 1 skill until you have no
where else to pump those skill points.
--- Critical ---
This skill increases your chance to do a critical hit. With more points into it
it increases your chance for critical hits to occur, allowing you to deal
double damage.
--- Counter ---
This skill increases your chance to strike back at an enemy who physically
damaged you and only physically damaged you, that means not magic, duh!. The
With more points into it it increases your chances to counterattack. The damage
that Counter inflicts is always the same at every level and it is 4x the
average damage you do on that enemy. Do not use with Evade because, though it
does not counteract with it, it's just not a good combination because if you're
evading, how are you gonna counter? This is probably a more preferable choice
choosing between Counter and Evade because not all times you will evade and at
higher levels, the skill has a very high chance of initiating.
--- Guts ---
This skill increases your attack and defense when your HP reaches half. With
each skill level it increases your attack and defense by 20 x current skill
level. The skill only lasts for a brief time of approximately 20 secs.
--- Stun ---
This skill increases your chances of stunning a monster with every hit. How you
will notice this is you will see a yellow ring twirling around and above the
enemies head. With each skill level it increases the chances of stunning the
target. The stunning is very cheap because they cannot attack or move for quite
a while, like about 5-10 seconds and by that time you've probably already
destroyed them. Ironically when an enemy is stunned they can still turn
their body and they will turn in the direction of where you currently are.
--- Healing ---
This skill will allow you to regenerate HP just like you can regenerate SP. It
also affects nearby allies in multi-player mode making even better with 4
characters with this skill. At higher levels you can regenerate HP really
quickly, making you use potions only in emergencies and saving you some gold.
I wouldn't put a skill point into this at all but maybe late in levels but if
you want, 1 point won't be so bad because atleast you can gain something.
Class: Dark Wizard
Skills:
--- Rod ---
Rod attack damage is added and allows you to do a charge attack. How it looks
like is you just swing your rod and it acutally knocks enemies back with every
successful hit. This skill is not recommended to use because rods are the
weakest weapon in the game that actually lets you charge up.
--- Demon Breath ---
This skill allows you to use Demon Breath spellbooks to cast magic out of them.
How it looks like is you spew a ghostly purple ball in front of you, doing
darkness type damage. This spell does splash damage the moment it hits an enemy
or a wall, causing damage to nearby enemies. With each level in this skill, the
sp cost increases, the ball gets larger and does more damage. Darkness also has
an effect of blinding the enemy, decreasing their dexterity by half.
--- Venom ---
This skill allows you to use Venom spellbooks to cast magic out of them. How it
looks like is you create a purply bubbly cloud front of you, doing poison type
damage. This spell also affects multiple enemies nearby. With each level in
this skill, the sp cost increases, the range of the poison increases and does
more damage. Poison also has an effect of poisoning the enemy, gradually
dealing damage to the enemy with every second.
--- Darkness ---
This skill allows you to use Darkness spellbooks to cast magic out of them. How
it looks like is you create a purple ring of darkness front of you, doing
darkness type damage. This spell also affects multiple enemies nearby. With
each level in this skill, the sp cost increases, the range of ring increases
and does more damage. Darkness also has an effect of blinding the enemy,
decreasing their dexterity by half.
--- Morph ---
This skill allows you to use Morph spellbooks to morph into a monster. How it
looks like is you turn into a monster depending on your charge level. At each
charge level, the sp cost increases, and the monster morphed into is changed.
The monster morphed into is set every time and the stats is set also, as well
as resistance. When you morph you become a monster and monsters will not attack
you unless you attacked them already in morph mode. So if you attack an enemy
in regular form and then quickly morph, they will stop attacking you. A great
spell if you just want to skim past by enemies, especially the hard ones
immune/resist to darkness type damage. At every charge level the duration lasts
for only a brief time.
--- Dagger Dance ---
This skill allows you to use Dagger Dance spellbooks to cast magic out of them.
How it looks like is you create daggers front of you and chasing nearby enemies
to attack, doing physical type damage. Depending on the charge level, the
damage will increase and more daggers will appear to attack enemies. This is
a skill that does not do an element type damage making it an excellent second
choice for a spell.
--- Drain ---
This skill allows you to use Drain spellbooks to cast magic out of them(whew...
that's a lot of D's in these spellbooks.) How it looks like is you throw a ball
front of you and if it hits the enemy the ball comes back to you and heals you
for a little Hp. The element of this spell needs to be confirmed because I
don't know it. With every charge level, the Sp cost inreases and damage
increases, allowing you to steal more Hp. This skill can save you from using
potions a lot but the damage is very slim. Avoid using this skill as it is sort
of useless.
--- Meditate ---
This skill is passive and allows you to regenerate your SP at a quicker rate.
With more skill levels in this the regeneration time is increased. This skill
is best benefited if you have a lot of SP. This is your least priority skill to
invest in because you can buy items and they are dirt cheap.
Class: Ninja
Skills:
--- Sword ---
Sword attack damage is added and allows you to do a charge attack. How it looks
like is you create a white circle in front of you, damaging enemies that run
into it or touch them.
--- Knife ---
Knife attack damage is added and allows you to do a charge attack. How it looks
is you unleash a barrage of knives straight ahead of you, each knife traveling
in a different direction. Theres a maximum of 6 hits but you won't really
realize it because the enemies are so small and the width of the knives spread
out pretty wide. I tested on a rather big buy and it comes out to be 6 hits
everytime. A great second choice weapon because of range it's the 2nd fastest
weapon in the game.
--- Critical ---
This skill increases your chance to do a critical hit. With more points into it
it increases your chance for critical hits to occur, allowing you to deal
double damage.
--- Debris ---
This skill allows you to use Debris spellscrolls to cast magic out of them.
Kinda lame skill to use because the ninja focuses on str. and not intelligence
and yes, these spells depend on your intelligence. How it looks like is right
when you release the charge attack you'll hear a sound (kind of like in the
cartoons with the falling objects) and suddenly random objects fall upon
enemies head, damaging them. The higher level the spell, the more damage it
does. Some of the objects can inflict stun status effect. This spell is very
slow to charge up so if you plan to use a Debris Ninja, make sure you get the
best suffix or just this item: "Debris Lv. 7 of Faith". It decreases your
charge up time so that's good. Also the sp used is very costly so beware!
--- Shadow ---
This skill allows you to use Shadow spellscrolls to cast magic out of them.
When charged up and released you lay 3 small triangles on enemies near you,
immobilizing enemies temporarly. The higher the charge level, the more sp it
costs and the range of immobilizing enemies around is increased and they will
be immobilized longer. This skill does not work all the time on every enemy and
there is a small chance that the game will be
--- Speed ---
This skill allows you to use Speed spellscrolls to cast magic out of them. This
spell increases your walking speed. This is my favorite kind of spell because
it also affects allies in multiplayer. Each charge level actually sets your
speed to a fix ammount and the higher it is the faster you walk. A ninja is
practically nothing if they don't run lightning quick!
--- Replace ---
This skill takes affect when you get hit. When you do get hit, you have a
rather good percent of this skill taking place. No, this skill does not take
damage for you, like in Naruto, but you'll see a wooden block appear in place
of your character and you'll become invisible for a short while. But being
invisible doesn't mean you still can't get damaged. Probably the game wasn't
perfected and prevented you from being invincible for a while. More skill
points in this lets you have a higher chance of replace taking effect. This
skill is very useless in single player, but VERY VERY VERY, and I'll say it
again, VERY VERY VERY useful in multiplayer, lol. In multiplayer it has extra
effects. When dueling in the colliseum against other players only, if replace
has taken effect, you will not be seen on the other player(s) screen. Only you
can see yourself. Take advantage by sneaking behind their backs and doing some
backstabbing. Also, to make it even cheaper, it will sometimes lower the
amount of damage you take(many times I dueled my friend's Dragonute who does
practically around 150 damage everytime to my ninja but sometimes it did only
2-10!!!)
--- Backstab ---
Ahhh!!! What could be more of an assassin without the infamous skill
" Backstab "! Sounds deadly as it is, this skill increases the damage you do
when you hit your enemy from behind. Good for taking out many spell casting
enemies because, hey, they have to charge up too! When maxed, don't be suprised
when you do your maximum damage because the ninja is the only class to actually
quickly do 999 damage at a low level. Super highly recommended for multiplayer
dueling melee Ninjas(killed advanced Gillespie in Chaos Castle in roughly 4
seconds!)
--- VII. Notes before playing the game ---
Shining Soul II can be a short game if you just rush through it. Hardcore
gamers will find it rather interesting and begin to crawl upon each dungeon
again and again to level up. Other play-for-fun people will be persistant and
go through the dungeons as if they are doing a time attack. Well these people
are most likely to miss all the important stuff like more enemies, items, and
quests, etc. Just so you know if I haven't told you before, this guide is for
readers who actualy want to enjoy the full potential of the game and not just
play-to-see-the-ending kind of guide. Because i'm a hardcore gamer I fully
explore everything and know all sorts of strategies to enhance gameplay and
find right ways to play the game. Lots of details can be found here if you are
having trouble with either beating a boss or stuck in dealing with enemies or
just don't know what to invest your skill/stat points into. This is a huge list
so I can update at times. New updates will toward at the end of the list rather
than me sorting it, in some particular way that is.
1. Melee characters should also be ready for anything. Anything can happen if
you are not acquainted with the game. A group of archers in advance mode can
suddenly appear out of nowhere to kill you without you noticing even what's
shooting at you(it has happened once with my 300 hp ninja, I went in without
noticing I only had 100 hp and died, very humiliating to go in a dungeon just
to die a second later.) If you need to pause the game, go to town by using an
angel wing or make sure the enemies are cleared in your area.
2. Spell caster characters should always keep running away. One high level
spell maybe just not enough to kill an enemy in 1 hit. But make sure the
enemies are chasing after you. If you go too far and you don't see the enemy
then they have dissapeared and if you go back to where you fought the enemy,
the enemy will spawn and treats it like you haven't damaged it.
3. Bring lots of pots (slang for healing potions and sp recovery items). Who
cares if you can't go through a level without using all 25 healing waters from
your inventory. That's probably you're too low leveled to be there or, erhem,
weak... Healing potions are dirt cheap and you can easily gain your big bucks
fast in 3 ways. One regular way, one cheating way, and the other the Maxpower
way! [You ask: "isn't that the wrong way?". I say: "yes but faster!"]-(excerpt
taken from The Simpsons). What is that way you are generally speaking of? Sell
your equipment... lol.
4. Valuing scrolls are very valuable. Not in price but in identifying items.
Late in the game it costs about 1000-2000gp+ just to identify an item and then
you'll get pissed if the item is a (ex: " Heavy Armor + 1" cost to id: 3000gp,
amount sold for, 1000gp, net gain, -2000gp). Valuing scrolls can be found off
enemy drops and sometimes sold in stores for a measly 200gp. Keep some scrolls
if found in the beginning of the game and when you think you're ready to use
them you'll be getting your items worth.
5. Lets do an overview of the status:
Str.- Increases damage and is required to wear heavy equipment require by items.
Every one point = one extra damage. Max pumpable str. 500.
Dex.- Increases dodge rate and hitting rate. A must for melee characters or you
can get screwed. Exact formula not known. Max pumpable dex. 500.
Vit.- Increases max hp. All characters are required to have a lot of hp to
survive or you can end up dieing pretty quickly. Every 1 point= 3 max hp. Max
pumpable vit. 333
Int.- Increases max sp. Used for casting spells and charge up weapons. Also
increases damage done by spells. Exact formula for damage not known. Every 1
point= 2 max sp. Max pumpable int. 500
6. Try to deal an enemy one at a time if your weapon doesn't have the range or
not wide enough to hit multiple enemies all in one area. Hasting to deal out a
group of enemies is not the answer, well sometimes it is, but you'll end up
getting hurt more than your works effort. Back out if you're ambushed and go
back the direction that you came from, even if the enemy is there you still
don't want to move on foward because it'll lead to more enemies. If things get
too rough then you might want to use an angel wing.
7. Heres a game warning, bring atleast 2, I said, 2 angel wings or just have
them in your inventory. Why? As I said before the game isn't well perfected so
bugs and glitches can occur anytime. Such an example is 1st level, Goblin Fort.
You hear the first 2 enemies talking and you kill them. As you advance foward
you can't seem to find the enemy that you're suppose to kill that unlocks the
door. What's even worse is you can't save and restart dungeon. So the only
solution is to turn off your Gameboy and lose everything up to the point you
haven't saved. Sometimes you can be locked on the 5th dungeon, Roberts Pirate
Ship because the door wouldn't open for me twice!!! in a row. Luckly I was
carrying about 5 angel wings. Why that much? You'll soon found out what I'm
doing.
8. When you save the game in the castle you start off from the Inn where you
sleep in the bed to recover full hp. When you save the game in the dungeon then
you have 2 choices to make when you are about to load the game. One is to
continue off from where you left off or restart the dungeon. Continuing will
load the game at the exact position where you left your character. If you chose
to restart then you lose unwanted items that are on the floor and you can never
retrieve them back but you start out on your bed in the inn.
9. Dieing in the game is not a major problem. Every character has to die
atleast once, but not saying you can though, and that's not a big deal. All that
happens is you lose is half the gold you are currently carrying as well as
dropping the gold and also drop an equipped armor on the floor in the dungeon
you died in. Just make sure you retrieve it back. *Note: If you die to a spell
that has an element, such as fire or dark, you lose 1 resistant point of that
element. You cannot go below zero so thats a safe spot. The problem is getting
your resistants up is a big time waster. You need it late in the game and try
not to die against the last hit which is an element. Also, make sure you don't
save the game right after you have just died. You can guarentee that you will
forget to pick up your dropped item and then when you move on you can't get it
again. I lost a Forged Demon Robe + 12 once, but not by save but by getting
distracted and forgetting to pick it up.
10. Don't be afraid to use your skills to the max. Waste all of your sp on 1
enemy if you have to as long as you get the job done. Just heal it right all
back, or partially, using a/many Ray of Hopes. Atleast you don't die if your sp
reaches 0. Sp also recovers over time so you can sit back and wait there while
your recover.
11. If you are having trouble with a particular group of enemies or even a boss
then you are probably low leveled. Go to an easier dungeon with good experience
to gain and go in again enough times until you are ready to face your worst
nightmare again. You'll find out that you screw the $#!T outta them if you just
leveled a couple of times.
12. Hit and run tactic is always the best technique to use for rangers.
13. Get a Gameboy SP, no it's not a real item in Shining Soul II. I'm talking
about the product. I found it really hard to see with Gameboy Advance even with
bright lights surrounding you. The Gameboy SP gives you full potential of thumb
work without having to press so hard on the keys. Easy access to many buttons
plus the light is how you should of always been playing Gameboy games. Please
note if you are playing this on the computer then forget what detail 13 says.
14. Make sure to equip items on the weapon slot and item slot. To use items
press B button. You can throw items but mostly the bombs by holding down the B
button for a short while until you see an orange charge gauge. As it fills up
the distance you throw it will be further. There is an item you can equip that
lets you throw items further but thats another story.
More coming up on next update!
--- VIII. Walkthrough ---
Finally! You ask me when are we going to get to the walkthrough. Well here's
your answer: how about now? Cool, that's great. Alright down to business now.
This walkthrough features ALL hidden paths to hidden treasures so you don't
miss out on anything. It's also good to read ahead to see how hard the upcoming
bosses are. In later updates when I have the time, I'll probably draw a map of
EVERY place in the game(hehehe.) Just a short note, the name of the attacks for
all these enemies and bosses are not their offical name. They are names that I
made up that seem to sound like what they do. Don't mock me unless you have a
wayyyy better name than mines. If so, send me an e-mail and I'll give credit to
you.
For those of you who are dumber than what a baby can do, follow these steps:
1. Put your Shining Soul II catridge in your Gameboy Advance/SP.
2. Turn on Gameboy.
3. On the title screen when it says press start, press start then highlight
Single Player and press A.
4. Choose a slot(recommend the first slot for quick players because you can
easily just keep on pressing the A button and you'll get into the game quickly)
and create a character in that slot.
5. Watch short movie or skip by pressing start.
6. Read short tutorial. The adventurer you see is named Boken. A Slime will
appear so prepare to fight.
Location: Outside Klantol Castle
Enemy: Paste
Difficulty: 0/5(you got to be kidding me)
Don't worry, you cannot get hurt or even get killed in this stage, not even if
you try to cheat, you can't go into your inventory and bomb yourself, if you
know what I mean. After defeating that big giant blue blob you'll level up.
After a long conversation you'll be in the Coliseum fighting Deatharte. Then
you'll be escorted to Klantol castle.
Location: Klantol Castle
Enemies: None
After you finish talking, take some time to explore around the castle as there
are many secrets lying around right in the castle. There are hidden walls to
hidden passages and quests and also passages that lead nowhere. When you reach
the center of Klantol Castle, which is where the vendors are go ahead and see
what items they have in store for you. Buy a new weapon if you want but don't
buy armor because you will find that it won't help you that much yet. If you
haven't done so yet go to your status menu and distrubute your stat points and
skill points. After that, go down to the courtyard of Klantol castle and step
on the fire. You'll notice that your resistance to fire is raising and you're
not taking any damage. Remain on the fire until you have atleast 20 or
(possibly)more FRES because getting hurt simply by enemies' fire spell is
considered a more dangerous method of raising resistance. Take a piss or make
something to eat or read a magazine while you're waiting. When you're done
exploring the castle(don't forget about the inn)lets get down to some real
business. Go down and out of the castle to the world map.
Location: Goblin Fort
Enemies: Paste, Green Paste, Goblin, Orc, Kobold,
Difficulty: 1/5
When you enter you'll overhear two Kobolds talking to each other. Right after
the 2nd line of dialogue you will be able to move. You have the oppurtunity to
listen to them or interrupt them by going up to them. When ready, engage battle
against them. Wow, looks pretty ez right? For now that is. Go up and kill all
the enemies and you'll soon find an enemy screen "ah!" and the door opens.
Everytime you see these it means the door has opened and allows you to venture
on without dealing all the enemies in that area. Go through the door and keep
following the path. Everytime you see a well there are always Paste enemies.
There are 3 in each well and stay there until you have eliminated all of them
for some nice exp. Now go to next area. On the left side you see a tombstone.
When you break it open you'll open a door that leads to a treasure chest.
Continue along until you reach the next screen. Right when you reach a
breakable door don't go yet, go down and hug the bottom path to the right.
You'll reach a treasure chest, break it open to get a random item. Keep going
but don't go to the next screen yet. When approaching the door to next area go
left instead, another treasure box, then go up. You witness an event with 5
goblins talking about some girl. The girl is actually the princess that was
kidnapped. Continue to hear what they say or approach them to engage battle.
After the battle, don't go ahead yet there is a breakable shelf or whatever it
is that contains a key. Keep this key because you'll need it(duh!), now go on.
When in next area, you'll probably be tricked because you see a door and not
hesitate to check elsewhere. Well go left and you'll see a path. Often times I
miss this area. Go up and kill every enemy. Break open the small box and it
contains a Red Shoe. You can't equip it but it's for someone(ah a side quest!).
Continue on to next area, not much left here. Finally, this is the last area of
the Goblin Fort, prepare yourself before you go, wait actually this boss is ez
so don't, well either way you'll kill him easily.
Boss: Colonel Gorbovich
Attacks: Whirlwind, Rotating Firebreath.
Wow, your first boss fight and that quick? Well this game is like that. This
can be a long fight if you're weak so have patience. He has just 2 attacks and
they ALWAYS alternate so you don't have to worry about guessing. When he does
Whirlwind he swings his axe around many times(9 times as i'm guessing) and when
he stops he fumbles and falls, allowing you to atmost do 2 free attacks. Then
he does his Rotating Firebreath. He stands on his ground and breaths fire in
front of him and rotates his body so he can attack in all directions. If you
manage to get hit you can raise your fire resist. This is why it's crucial that
in the beggining that you raise your fire resistance. There is a drawback for
him preforming this attack. Once he has made his 360 degrees turn he has to
rest and breathe for air which allows you for more attacks. This battle should
be simple, just stay back when he does his Whirlwind and make sure you don't
corner yourself or you can easily die.
After battle you gain some huge experience and 2 things appear: portal and
golden chest(ooo more items). Step on portal and press A to go back to Klantol
Castle Throne room where the King resides. You'll have a conversation with him.
Everytime you return from a new area after defeating the boss in that area
you'll have a conversation. Don't worry, you'll only hear it once so you can
relax. Take some time to identify and buy/sell your items. Upgrade yourself for
the next dungeon.
Location: Giant's Graveyard
Enemies: Bat, Skeleton
Difficulty: 1/5
When you enter and go up you'll see a treasure chest that is kind of hidden. Go
to left wall and hug it, go towards the treasure chest. For better explanation
look at the ground and along the wall. You'll see a grass?/moss? near the wall
and a path that is not green. That is the place you can go through to get the
treasure chest. Keep going on and you'll see a tombstone again. This time it
serves as the next area so break it and go on. Once inside, make sure to
explore everywhere, even the right side. When you reach the exit you'll see a
treasure chest. You ask "how do I get there?" Go below the bars and go left. If
you look closely you can see some staircase but it's pretty dark but forget
about that, go to next area. Not much in this area, continue on to next area.
Note that you can go through those bars so do so. Before the exit walk left
below opened door to wall and find your way to the treasure chest. Now continue
on to an event. Again you hear enemies talking and you overhearing them. When
they go up, follow but don't go all the way. Stop when you get to the end of
the wall so you won't engage in battle. You see them lift a grave and contains
what looks like a soul. Once you see it, engage in battle before they put the
grave back because you won't be able to break the tombstone open. Take the soul
and move on. In this area you'll have to go in both left and right areas to
break open a chest that contains a graveyard key. It is guarded by a Giant
which is quite powerful so be cautious. Once you obtained the 2 keys go through
the middle and open the 2 lock doors and continue on. Keep following the path
and you'll reach a tombstone right in the middle. Don't worry you can't find a
path to open it, you can only open it in multiplayer mode by using the force
ring with each player in opposite directions. Ignore it and keep going to the
next area. In this place you won't witness an event but you see a dead person
with the ghost of his body floating. Now go into your inventory and take out
the soul you got and put it in one of you item slots. Hold B to concentrate the
power of throwing the soul and aim it at the ghost. You'll see that it's the
adventurer you saw in the beggining, Boken(poor guy, I rather let him stay dead
and laugh at him). More information is on Side Quest Section. In the next area,
don't go ahead yet, hug the left wall and make your way to a treasure chest.
Now go back to where you were and this time hug the right wall in the small
narrow section and make your way to another treasure chest. Now move onward and
you'll see it's boss time. Don't worry, this boss is easier than the first but
although he does more damage it is avoidable.
Boss: Grove Giant
Attacks: Hand Stomp
Very easy boss and has only 1 attack. When you get near him he does the Hand
Stomp. If you happen to get hit by it, you suck(erhem...), I mean, you recive
quite the amount of damage and get knocked back. You'll also see rocks falling
from the sky which is quite advoidable because you can see the shadow of them.
If you decide to run away, for some stupid purpose, he can't attack you, which
is good, but in exactly 6 seconds he will do his Hand Stomp. Not like it can
hurt you but the falling rocks can! Overall this is the easiest boss in the
game. The same routine happens again, after death, poof! treasure chest and
portal appears.
Back in Klantol with another conversation with the King, you probably have a
lot of junk so id. them and buy/sell upgrade yourself. Also start some side
quests now for some good experience and items. Before venturing on to the next
area, make sure you bring the key that you got from the Goblin Fort. If you
forgot it or you lost/sold it then go back to Goblin Fort and fight them
goblins and get from shelf again. If you did this you don't have to go through
the whole area, just use an angel wing and you're back in town. Now move onward
to next area.
Location: Wizari's Palace
Enemies:
Difficulty: 2/5
Ooo... prepare to suffer from many magic attacks and build up resistance now.
For the first few areas its pretty much straight foward. Don't forget about the
treasure chests. In the third area on the right side, you can go behind the
bookcases and around to a treasure chest. In the next area there are hidden
rooms. Hug the right wall to find a chest. Then head back and hug the right
wall again, but this time it leads to monsters. Now go back to the intersection
where you saw the staircase. Go through the left wall for another chest. Now
before you head on ask yourself if you have the prison key. If you do head on
but if you forgot to bring it with you(again) go to town then come back and go
in. As you enter you see Princess Camille behind bars like if she's in jail.
Open the door and you'll free her. After the short conversation go in the room
she was in and hug the left wall to find a Princess Robe(sorry! only for
ladies!). Continue on. Ok, in this room are staircases. Listen up or you'll
lose me, go up the first flight of stairs. If you want, go to the bottom right
corner. Pretty pointless because there's NOTHING! Ok I made my point now go up
the second flight of stairs. Right when you turn for third flight you can go
through an invisible path leading to a treasure chest. You probably figured
that out, right? Did you? No? Who cares, anyway now when you get to the top you
have 2 different ways, both leading to the same upcoming next room. The left
room contains Gizmos, good if you haven't got their cards yet but it only
contains 1 treasure chest. The right room contains 2 chests, 1 that is hidden
and enemies are spiders. If you ask me, the right path is harder but 2 chests
pays off. If you chose the left side it's pretty straight foward. If you chose
the right side then listen up. Go up and when you have to turn stop right in
the middle where you see a picture frame of who knows who da hell it is. Go
through the wall for a chest then go on to next room. One hidden chest here and
you can probably spot it. Before you enter the room to the next area just go
south for a chest. In the next room, you'll meet a stupid powerful monster so
far that just stays there most of the time waiting for you to attack them. They
have quite the amount of life and do decent amount of damage. Just watch out.
When you're in the next room you'll see some wierd looking floating object.
Oops, maybe I should of told you to bring some bombs with you but wutever. In
order to break the cube you can throw a bomb or equip an Ace Ring and throw
grenades. You can also use the Force Ring in multiplayer to break it open this
way. When you break it open a purple chest appears on the right side of the
room. It contains a random soul but oftenly it's the Light Summon Soul Magic:
Arbiter II. Go on to next room. In this room make sure to go around the table
for enemies. Not much here so when done move on to next area. Oh great, another
cube. Don't worry this cube sucks, when you break it you only make a hidden
room open to a golden chest so no big deal. The next area is the last area in
this palace. Wow that's quite the amount of flight of stairs. When you get to
5th flight of stairs hug the left wall for a chest. The next flight is the last.
Be very carful of the mage called Demon Master. He casts the spell Blast which
can be quite devastating if it hits you. Before you go in the room to the boss
go behind the bookcase and around to find your last hidden treasure chest in
this palace. Now prepare for the boss.
Boss: Wizari
Attacks: Spiral Plasma
Enemies: Haunted Armors-2
When you approach Wizari and attack her you won't do any damage. If you even
try to attack her henchmen's you still won't do any damage. What's the deal?
Well go up in the middle of the room and destroy the picture. You'll then see
Wizari's true form, which is a giant ugly ghost. Now you'll be able to do
damage. I suggest you taking out her henchmens first or you will have some
difficulties dodging her attacks. Although she only has one attack, it can be
quite damaging. She first moves around slowly across the room and then you'll
see her concentrating in doing her Spiral Plasma. When she unleashes it, it
will go outwards and the circles will move in clockwise spiral motion for more
randomness. The best way to avoid or try to avoid the attack is stay away from
her and then you'll have lots of time to predict the motion of the circles.
After her casting the magic spell she will have a delay, you can attack her
during this time and even when she's moving. This battle could take a while but
something this long will award you with lots of exp!
Once in Klantol you witness another scene. You find out that food has been
stolen by hobbits!(dam hobbits! They may be short and friendly in Lord of the
Rings but they ain't in here.) Anyway, you gotta go to the next dungeon now,
which is Fairy Springs and if you want or can, bring some resistance to ice
and/or light, not like you actually need it but the boss of that place does
some of these attack types.
Location: Fairy Springs
Enemies: Hobbit
Difficulty: 2/5
This particular dungeon has a randomness to it. Although its very short,
everytime you enter a new area you can spawn, or arrive I should say, in a
different spot. So when you enter the first area expect yourself to be in the
bottom right corner or top middle. Either way the exit is in the way you didn't
come from. Many of these areas are just straight foward so just continue on. In
the 6th area you'll see some whirlpools. Those are actually warp tiles set to a
location that will warp you to another place. Approach it and press A and you
will warp. If you are having trouble with enemies, easy! simply warp! Some
warps lead to more enemies while very few lead to a treasure chest. Now once
finished you'll have to go on to an event. You witness 5 hobbits huddling
around a fire. They'll start showing the treasures that they stole from the
castle. It's always the same items and in the same order so it goes like this:
1. Watermelon, 2. Healing Water, 3. Umbrella, 4. Apple. The umbrella is for a
sidequest. Even if you did the sidequest already the hobbits will still show
the Umbrella as the third item. In this case just get the umbrella, kill them
and continue on for 2 areas. Once in the area with the gizmos kill them all but
don't go yet. Go to the tree to the right of the portal and behind it. If you
look closely you see a warp tile. It leads to a chest; now continue. If you
appear on the right side then if you look closely in the top middle you will
see a warp tile. Go there first and kill all the enemies to open portal for
next area. Make your way back to where you just were and now go on to the left
side by warping. Go all the way up and I bet you can see another warp tile, you
know what to do. When finished go in the portal to your last area. Kill some
more hobbits and you're done. The boss portal appears and wasn't I right?, this
dungeon is pretty much straight foward.
Boss: Clione
Attacks: Waterfall, Iceblock, Spiral Light
Make sure to always stay close to her because she doesn't do any physical
attacks and it's all magicial. She might start off with Iceblock and you can
tell if she has starts forming a blue block below her. In just a few seconds of
the forming of her iceblock it becomes a huge one and fires it at you in a
straight line. It's easy to dodge if you just walk in a straight path so
provide some space for dogdging too. When she does Spiral Light, it's very
similar to Wizari's Spiral Plasma but smaller and more damage. You can gain
some Light resist if you get hit. Waterfall is not really her attack that does
damage but you will notice it when the screen is suddenly showered with water
droplets. You will see that your character is getting pulled down toward the
bottom of the screen and if you try to fight against it by going upward it's
pretty hard. Try not to get cornered while she's there because chances are you
will suffer a alot of damage from Spiral Light. This boss can be annoying
because she can fly to the middle and you won't be able to hit her, but with a
wide range weapon it's possible.
Warp back to Klantol and you'll soon then find a pirate come in . He asks the
king for a chart but it is nowhere to be found. Different events can take place
if you haven't rescued the Princess yet.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------|
|If you have rescued the Princess then she will speak up and give the |
|chart to the pirate. |
|---------------------------------------------------------------------|
|---------------------------------------------------------------------|
|If you have not rescued the Princess then the chart will not be |
|given to the pirate and you cannot continue on to the next dungeon |
|unless you rescue the Princess so she can give the chart to the |
|pirate. To find the princess, refer to the dungeon Wizari's Palace |
|---------------------------------------------------------------------|
Don't rush things yet, you have some sidequests to do. When you go to the item
vendor you see that the mother's youngest daughter is now in charge and is
selling some really bad items. She's so obsess with candy and cake that she
even replaces the items with them. The HP healing item is replaced with a cake
that costs more than a healing drop but the Candy, which was suppose to be a
Goddess Tear, now cost less. Atleast something changed but these items suck!
Don't worry it's only temporary until you do a sidequest.
Location: Robert's Pirate Ship
Enemies: Vikings
Difficulty: 3/5
You will witness an event, see a box shaking, and a person screaming for help.
Break the box open or you will not be able to advance foward. Hey what do you
know, it's the same pirate as from before... maybe you should of kept him in
there...lol... kidding. Anyway after the conversation he opens the door for you
so go in. Make a U-turn to the next area and you'll see 2 bats appear. Kill
them and go foward. As you go foward you will see a path to go on the right.
There is a treasure box there. Keep going until you reach a fork. Go right and
you will see a net, which is a hidden place. But this path only leads to
enemies and you can clearly see a treasure chest. This is a trick, you can't
get it from here so continue when you are done. When you reach the end you will
see the chest again. You can actually walk through this wall so do so and go to
the next area. When you reach a fork go down first and you might see a chest.
If not then go circle around to just kill the enemies and go back to the mages
that shoot fire at you. Go up and to reach a chest and then continue foward to
next area. Once you reach your first set of archers go down then go left for
more enemies. Continue until you reach your second set of archers and go down.
This time go right for a hidden passage. That's all so go on to the next area.
In this area you will see barrels coming toward you as you move right. You can
dodge them or just keep going and take the damage. Some are unavoidable so you
have to take the damage. At the end of the path before moving on, hug the right
wall for a chest, now go to the next area. When you move up you'll see a wall
on the left. Before you head to the next area hug the right wall in the room
with all the mages and you'll reach the chest. In this next area explore
everywhere throughly so you don't miss out on any monsters. When you get to the
4 mummies there might be a chest on the left side. You can go through between
the beds. Don't forget you can go through behind the beds and it will lead to
enemies and possibly a chest. Continue to the next area. Once you appear you
will see a room, this time you can go through here which leads to a chest. When
you reach the end of the flight of stairs, hug the right wall leading to a
chest, which also leads you to behind a barrel(pointless hidden path here). In
this next area don't bother going down those steps because it leads to empty
rooms. When you reach the end go up and you may hug the right wall for a
pointless empty room. When you kill the enemy that opens up the door for the
next area, go behind the bed for a chest. Before you advance there is a side
quest to do so refer to the side quest section. Now go to the next 2 areas if
you are not doing the side quest yet. When you reach the middle you will see a
tombstone so break it open to open the door. Prepare yourself for the mid-boss
following up with another boss. So basically you are facing 2 bosses with a
small time-out after the first one.
Mid-boss: Captain Robert
Attacks: Vacuum Whirlwind, Charge
Ooo... this guy's possessed by the *black ink* but anyway. This will be a
difficult battle if you don't kill him quick enough. If you stay away from him
he will try to chase you down and soon after he will get pissed and does his
Charge move. He rushes at you and does a pretty decent amount of damage. If you
get near him he will do his Vacuum Whirlwind. The attack is stationary and he
swings his axe constantly at high speeds that it sucks you into it. Kinda like
the first bosses whirlwind move except that it's stationary and instead it
sucks you into him. When he does this attack, run in the opposite direction
because if you get sucked in you will take damage and worst of all his attack
doesn't stop until he stops. If you get trapped in this then... haha... prepare
to take a beating. After the battle heal yourself for another fight.
Boss: Shlurpie
Attacks: Squid Slap, Ink Blast
So far this is the hardest boss you've faced so far. This boss does a lot of
damage and his attacks alternate. First he does 2 Squid Slaps at seperate times.
When he does this he shakes the boat, losing your balance but allowing you to
manuver your character quickly in the direction it is tilted. It is best that
you keep moving because it is almost impossible to dodge these attacks. After
it does its two slaps it will form his Ink Blast. It's a black fog and it's
homing! If you get hit by it, it is dark element and you may raise your
resistance from this. It does a lot of damage so heal if needed. The best way
to dodge this is to stay in the upper right or left side of the boat and when
the boat shakes use this advantage to move down in the direction of the tilted
boat to reach the other side quickly. This battle will take a while because of
enormous amount of HP and the damage you are doing at this point may be pitiful.
Once in a while, get in a melee attack or 4 and retreat to safety. When
defeated you will get a huge amount of exp and a chest. Go back to Klantol now.
Your next destination is the DESERT! Bring a bunch of healing items because if
you get hit by these monsters you might take poison damage, which can be
lethal. When you go to the world map you will see 2 new locations: A Pyramid,
which is actually your next destination, and a temple. This temple is a
sidequest for obtaining some cool items but require 4 correct items to be
sacrificed. Also one more sidequest awaits you so do it if needed.
Location: Driazhek Desert
Enemies: Worms, Scorpions, Harpies, Golems, Mummies, Archers
Difficulty: 3/5
You appear dab-snab right in the middle of the desert. Make sure you go around
clockwise starting from top left all the way to bottom left for enemies. In the
next area, this is like the same area but go counter-clockwise starting from
top left to top right. No chests so far but in this next area explore
everywhere and kill everything. Now before you head on there are two paths you
can go: Left or Right. The left side has more enemies and probably more
dangerous. The right side has less enemies, so you get less exp. Either way you
will reach the end which leads to a mid-boss. But heres a guide to the paths
anyway:
|----------------------------Left side--------------------------------|
|Advance foward until you see a crack on the right wall. You can go |
|through here to fight some more enemies. Otherwise just continue |
|foward. |
|---------------------------------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------Right Side-------------------------------|
|All you have to do is just follow the path. It's pretty much straight|
|foward. Dont forget about the chest in the corner before you head on |
|to the next area for a mid-boss. |
|---------------------------------------------------------------------|
The mid-boss is a worm and you can only damage his head if you have taken out
the rest of his body parts. You can only hit one body part at a time and the
only part you can hit is its end part, which is the tail. He moves in a rebound
direction like a basketball rebounding off the rim or backboard. If you don't
finish his body parts quickly he will stop and turn white and seperate his body
parts and throw it around in a rebound direction like what how he was moving.
At this time you cannot damage any of his parts so just stay in one spot to
avoid the balls. After he turns white again his body parts rejoins and you can
hit him again. Once his parts are gone you will need to go for his head. He
won't stop like he did before so this you have to do some running to catch up
to him.
In the next area just keep going up until you see a wide path. This is a
difficult part because you will be facing 4 harpies and they are deadly. They
cast the Blast spell and these cyclones will follow you wherever you go. If you
are manage to get hit by one you will get hit many times and if there are more
coming after you, you might end up even dead. If you can, use your Soul Summon
to take them out quickly and save your Soul Summon for another same situation
as this later in this dungeon. But with good defense you don't have to worry
about this so go to the next area. Explore everywhere and when you get to the
right side of the area, hug the wall to the left and you'll see and reach a
chest. Go back to hug the wall a little bit foward from the hidden path and
you'll reach a empty spot(pointless). The left side has tons of empty walls so
don't bother checking, unless you find something report it to me. In the next
area when you see spiders in the upper path, hug the left wall and you might
find a chest. Continue and you might see a pyramid. Don't worry about this
because you can only break this in multiplayer and it reveals a golden chest.
Watch out for the harpy in the end area! In the next area you will be contained
in a small area full of worms. The next area when you reach walls closing in,
you can actually go through in the middle of these and find chests. There are
foor of these hidden paths and 2 of them contain chests. It is totally random
so you can find them in the upper left and bottom left or upper right and
bottom right or any of these combinations of upper/bottom and left/right. Move
to next 2 areas. Clear the enemies by going clockwise. Now hug the right wall
to the top and you may find a chest. The rest of the area is straight foward.
Once you reach the next 2 areas you will have to go around a circle. Kill
everything in this big circle and go back to the top. Move down and 4 harpies
will appear. Use your Summon if needed but be careful not to die. It's now time
to go to your last area and then to the boss.
Boss: General Oswald
Attacks: Slash, Air Slash
When you get close to him he does his Air Slash- he forms these wave of slashes.
This is your time to run away because these slahes will separate into different
directions. If you let him chase you he won't do his Air Slash yet but after a
while he will. After his Air Slash he will chase you again. You can either:
keep hitting him or run away then hit him. Why? Because he will do a regular
Slash right after his Air Slash. It's less damaging and if you keep on damaging
him you will score many free hits on him. During his Slash he just stays there
for a couple of seconds so get some hits on him. But if you run away he will
stop chasing you after a while and do another Air Slash. You can also just
circle his body until he forms either of these 2 attacks so you can easily
avoid getting hurt. The only time he will do his Slash is only when he did his
Air Slash and tries to chase you. Run around his body and he will miss you. If
you can dodge his Air Slashes then you can easily defeat him by avoiding his
regular slashes and landing free hits during his waiting period. This is a very
ez battle and with your timing and remembrance of his attacks, you will get a
perfect on him.
Now back in Klantol and you'll notice that the Princess is missing again! So
far, if you are having trouble with the last dungeon then I suggest you level
up just a few levels more but not too much. On your way to leveling, try to
keep some equipments that you can wear that boosts your Ice resistance because
in the next dungeon, it's full of monsters that shoot ice elemental attacks
against you. However you don't really need it because the damage is very weak,
though it helps to be safe. And on your way, find some fire resistance
equipment because, now seriously, you will need it. If you don't want to do
neither, atleast have high Hp. Move on to Koldazhek Cave.
Location: Koldazhek Cave
Enemies: Ice Pastes, Blue Orcs, Ice Spiders, Yeti
Difficulty: 2/5
The difficultly of this place went down because the boss of this stage is very
easy. Start by going right and through to the next area. When you reach a fork
go straight first then come back and hug the bottom path. You will see a path
that leads to the back and to a chest. Go to the next area. Once you see 2
archers kill them and hug the bottom wall. It will lead to a chest + enemies.
Not much left here so head to the next two areas. You'll witness a conversation
with Yeti's and you'll see a big giant Yeti in the middle. This Yeti has quite
an amount of hp for an enemy and if you happen to get the card from him then
consider yourself very lucky. In the middle is the princess and she is frozen.
If you have a fire elemental weapon and with good str. you will break it open
in no time. If you have a fire elemental spellbook, cast it and you'll break it
instantly. If you have neither you will have to hit the ice many times before
it breaks. You'll then have a conversation with her and she tells you something
about a password that is required to advance in the next area. Don't worry, the
game does everything for you so go on to the next 3 levels. When you reach the
area with the ice lizards, defeat them all but don't go ahead just yet. Right
in the end you'll see in the middle a triangle pointing down. You can't walk on
that triangle but in my point of view it seems to hint something. Since it's
pointing down go down and walk to the right. It's a hidden path which leads to
2 chests with 2 ice lizards guarding it. When done, advance to the next 4
levels. Once you appear right after the stage with the many yeti's, head left
for a hidden path to a chest. Well that's it so move on to the boss.
Boss: Vaitali
Attacks: Bite, Shell Spin
First appearances always seem deceiving. He looks very old when you see him
talk but after he finishes talking he turns into a dragon/turtle( a little bit
of both actually). He has four parts to his body: 2 legs, 1 arm and his head.
You will see his tail all the time but it is not one of the areas which you can
damage. Once again, you cannot damage the head unless you have taken out his
legs and arms first. When you first see his true form you will only see 2
legs/arms! This is what I really hate about programming. Quickly take out the
legs/arms that you can see. Attack quickly because he will withdraw his whole
body and use his Shell Spin and home-in and try to hit you. Careful not to get
cornered because his spin never stops until he finishes, which almost lasts for
about 3 seconds. Once he finishes spinning he will quickdraw his body parts and
try to Bite you. The key to winning this battle without getting hit is to give
yourself a lot of room. When he finishes his Shell Spin and tries to Bite you,
he can face in either 8 directions: up, down, left, right, upright ,downright,
upleft, and downleft. In order to find and attack his third leg/arm you must
make him face upleft or upright. He will only try to Bite you if you give him
enuff room for his head to appear. If he cannot bite you then he will face in a
random direction(usually the opposite of where you are) and Bite nothing. Soon
having to defeat this stupid boss, you'll never have to come back here again!
Brrrr... aren't you cold? Don't worry, you'll get fired up in these next 2
dungeons. It is essential that you find some Fire Res. equipment or atleast
build up your res right about now because the enemies fire attacks in the next
dungeons can be pretty much devastating. If you are tired of looking for some
equipments then level up some more and get a lot of VIT. Try to get your hp
high enuff so that you can use Healing Waters rather than waste 4 spaces of
Healing Drops to equal one Water. If you need money then you don't need to
waste 200 extra gold to buy the waters but rather go to the temple of light and
sacrifice 4 drops to make a water. Now without further due, head on to your
next dungeon, which is the Demons' Tower.
Location: Demons' Tower (No I did not spell it wrong)
Enemies: Demons, Rune Knights, Archers, Gargoyles
Difficulty: 4/5 or 5/5
Huh? Two difficulties? Yep, that's right. It really depends on how much hp you
have or what character you are using. The reason is that there is a mid-boss in
here and that mid-boss is none other than you, or I should say your clone. Your
clone will use the weapon with the highest attack power(for ex: Sorceress is to
rod, as Ninja is to sword). Not only will your clone have lots of life but
their damage is just incredible no matter what level you are. If you are
playing a ninja then be warned, don't face your back to him because the clone
will backstab you and his critical is fairly high so therefore it results in
automatically defeat no matter how high your defense is.
You start by witnessing an event with a dark angel and a kobold bomber named
Kobo(dis), lol kobo lobo hobo... You may listen to eveything they say though
it's quite long and once the screen shifts to your character, you may move up
and interrupt them. As the dark angel leaves she'll leave an angel wing, and
there's a reason for that. When you defeat the kobold you'll notice that the
door didn't open.
|---------------------------------------------------------------------|
|If you have rescued the princess back in the Koldazhek Cave, she will|
|tell you the password, which btw is "patience" but the game |
|automatically does everything for you so go up to the door and you |
|will be granted the right to open it. |
|---------------------------------------------------------------------|
|---------------------------------------------------------------------|
|If you haven't rescued the princess then you can't open the door even|
|though if you know the password in real life. There's an angel wing |
|for you on the ground where the dark angel flew away. Use it and go |
|back to rescue the princess. |
|---------------------------------------------------------------------|
If you haven't rescued the princess and you somehow lost the angel wing that
the angel left behind or you just don't have any angel wings left anymore, you
won't be able to leave at all and you can't even save to restart dungeon. Well
you aren't technically screwed yet... Take a look at the panel in the middle
with a death skull. If you step on it, it damages you and you may get poisoned.
If you need to escape because you are technically screwed then die from the
panel. The cost for dieing is that you might lose 1 poison RES and you will
drop an equiped armor. "Yeah right! an armor???? hellz no, i'll probably just
reset." Go ahead if you are that dumb but here's the solution to not dropping
the equipment. Unequip everything, duh!
Work your way around until you get to the end of the first area. Grab the very
noticable chest and head down the stairs to the right. Once at a dead end head
left for a treasure chest. Head back but don't go up. Keep heading right until
you hit the end and go down for a hidden chest. In the next area you can see
the dark angel flying in the background. Ignore that for now and head to the
next screen. Climb up the series of steps and when you are at the top and can
no longer climb anymore you will see a big white statue. This is actually a
gargoyle so watch out because it can suprise you. Defeating it will open the
door to the next level. As you walk to the left, bombs will be dropping from
the top. You can either wait for one bomb to drop and head foward or you can
just keep walking foward and hope that none of the the bombs drop on you. The
bombs don't hurt that much but for characters with low defense it will do about
25 damage and over, so beware. Once in the next area and you have gone up 2
flights of stairs you will see a chest right in the middle. Watch out because
when you approach it you will be ambushed by 3 Dark Masters with very
terrifying spells of blast and spark. If you get caught in these prepare to
heal because getting stunned and getting hit by many blasts is a devastating
combo. In the next level you'll encounter some Kobold Bombers who throw bombs
at you. The funny thing about this is that if you get very close to them and
they happen to throw a grenade at you, it will explode on impact and it will
hurt them more than it hurts you, regarless if you have any defense at all.
There is also a grenade on the floor, pick it up if you want to or just leave
it. The next area is your first encounter with ROBOTS! The floating ones are
slow but the ground ones are the most troublesome. Defeat them at all costs the
instance you see them before they stun you. Don't forget about the chests in
the middle of your second to forth flight of stairs. When you arrive in the
next level prepare yourself for 5 harpies. Heal yourself if you know you are
weak. First thing you do is walk slowly so you don't get all the harpies to
come after you. Then fight them one by one and you'll have no problem. The next
area is straight foward so I'll move on to the next 2 areas. Once again you are
in a narrow hallway. Before you make another move just to let you know what's
coming up is 2 harpies and 5 nasty Lightning Gizmos that can stun you. Heal up
or you'll end up getting fried with lightning bolts. In the next area, you can
either just move on or keep heading to the right and then up. You'll see that
breakable object again and you'll need bombs to destroy em. Once you destroy
the only blue gargoyle in this castle you can move left or right. Move left and
make 2 turns for a chest. Before going to the next level, go down the encaged
steps near the door for a chest. Now before you head on foward, once again,
prepare youself to fight your clone.
I can't help you much here because there are different tactics to fight your
clone for each character. All I can tell you is that once again your clone will
use your most powerful weapon category so take advantage of that if that weapon
is pretty slow. Beware, Ninjas will get beat very badly.
Proceed to the next two areas. You will see a different tile than the floor you
are stepping on. Pressing A button while on that tile will warp you up a little.
There is a breakable object in the middle but you need bombs. To get to the
other side you have to play multiplayer and whoever is not the first player
will warp to the left instead of the right side. Onward to the next screen.
Once you meet a fork, go to the left and you'll be locked out by 3 doors. This
is totally optional; you need to find 3 tower keys to unlock all of the doors.
To find them you have to defeat gargoyles and the demons you are fighting and
make them drop it. The reward for opening the 3 doors is a purple chest like
the one back in Wizari's Palace. It contains a random summon. When you are
ready, head through your last door to fight the boss.
Boss: Dark Angel
Attacks: Scythe Grab, Fly, Sickle Toss, Feather Scatter
Notice: 4 Attacks, 3 of them damages you.
Start the battle immediately by charging up your weapon to the max level. You
see her in the air. You cannot damage her at this point but when she lands she
is invincible for .75 seconds. After 4 seconds right from the point she landed
make sure you stay away as far as you can. That means to get atleast 2 blows on
her and then just run away. Time how many hits you can get her and repeat the
process. If you don't run away then she will do her Scythe Grab. You cannot get
out of this attack and she will Fly away with your character. Then in the
background you will see the dark angel flying and you taking many poison hits.
I think you can possibly get posion res. here but not sure. You will take many
hits so make sure you are at extremely full hp. You cannot switch weapons or
items or use items or even attack during this process. When she is on the other
side and off the screen, just a few seconds later she will throw your character
back into the ring and do her Sickle Toss. She is still flying in the air and
tosses sickles starting from her position to the bottom of the screen. Here's
how to avoid it. If you got hit from the Scythe Grab, just hold down and once
your character appears you'll be in the bottom middle. If you did not get hit,
move to the middle of the screen where you see a small circle and move down. It
is actually quite possible to hit her while she's in the air but not when she's
in the background. When you are in the bottom middle, turn your character so
he/she is facing up(don't go up too far or you will get hit from here flying
at you.) When she passes by, her Sickles will miss you and right when she is
above your character, unleash your attack. She will then Fly away in the
background again. Charge up your weapon to max level and she'll land. The
process repeats. Once she has flown away from her SECOND landing (second in
big letters) she will do her last attack followed by the other attack. When she
appears she will be on the top of the screen and unleashes her Feather Scatter.
There will be many feathers flying in formation in the same path. It is
possible to dodge this but you'll miss out on some possible blows on her.
Before she does this attack make sure you are in the top middle. Although when
she does her attack you will get hit but the rest of the feathers will miss
you. During her attack you can hit her until she flys away. When she does so
she does her Sickle Toss after she has flown in the background again. Then she
will land. The process of the Feather Scatter> Sickle Toss> Land will repeat in
this order from now on. Here's your hint to end this battle quickly. When she's
flying in the background, charge up your weapon/spell to the max level and hit
her whenever possible.
Was that a long battle or what? Have you picked up some wearable fire res.
equipment? It also helps if you have an Ice element sword for the next upcoming
battle. If you don't then get some off of dungeons and you can even do some
sidequests. For the next dungeon, depending on how prepared your character is,
it will go from a hard difficulty to a normal difficulty. Up to this point,
nothing is easy for your character.
Location: Hottazhek Volcano
Enemies: Cerberus, Fire Gizmos
Difficulty: 5/5
Little note before you start reading. This dungeon is straight foward and there
is only one secret in this dungeon. You don't really need help besides from the
boss tactics so you may skip to the boss paragraph if you want.
Meeting some cerberus' and fire gizmos will be a threat. They will constantly
be spewing fire at you non-stop and this is actually very annoying. Spam your
B button for healing if you know you are going to die. Keep going through the
dungeon until you get to the second bridge. As you walk foward you will be
ambushed by 4 bats. When you are done head foward for your mid-boss #1:
Gillespie. All he will do is chase you around and hit you with his stick(rod).
It will do pretty decent damage (for a freaking stick, wtf?). You can avoid
this but not all the time. Stop until he gets near your character. Right at
that split moment move away and he'll miss. Repeat and the battle will end
soon. Go a few dungeons ahead until you get to the place where you are suppose
to head diagonally upwards. When you move foward, 2 fire gizmos will appear on
lava. You will get hurt, at a fixed time, if you step on the lava. As you move
foward you encounter lava again. This time you cannot avoid this and you have
to step through it. If you are fast and lucky enough you will not get hit. Once
you get to the dragon don't go to the next level yet. Step through the lava
ahead of you to find a chest. If you get a Magma Set equipment then consider
yourself lucky, again. After the next area you will encounter the mid-boss #2.
It's Gillespie again but this time he has another attack and he's much more
powerful. When you start this duel he will stand in the middle and do nothing.
It looks like he's praying but hes not. Charge up you weapon and get a free hit
on him. Then when he starts to change direction of his body run away as far as
possible or he will do his demon breath attack. After his attack he will chase
you and do his rod atack attack on you. The process repeats. There is actually
a bug for this part of the game and you should take advantage to it. If you get
hit by his spell, then he will try to hit you with his rod but instead misses,
regardless if you are right on the tip of his stick. But this is not true if
you get hit by his rod attack and then get hit from his demon breath attack. If
you can't evade his rod attack and his breath does less damage than his stick
and are trying to kill him as quicky as you can, get hit by his breath and
unleash as many attacks as you can. You can even evade them both but it can
take some time to kill him.
Everything else is straight foward and ownward to the boss.
Boss: Holy Guardian of Fire
Attacks: Foot Thrust, Flame Wave
Dam... this boss is tall alright... Anyway. Two attacks, both very short so
you'll have to defeat him very quickly. He starts off by using Flame Wave. A
straight line of flames come rushing down the pathway. It actually comes out in
one of the directions, giving you the chance to stay on the other side and
dodge the attack. Whichever hand he sticks on is where the flame is going to
come out. So if he raises his left hand then the left path will be filled with
flames. Then he does his Foot Thrust. He just gets on one foot and thrusts it
foward. If you get hit by it you will be knockedback all the way to the lava
and you may also take some lava damage too. Even if you have very high speed
you cannot counter this knockback. As you can see, he starts to walk foward
after his 2 attacks so that is why you need to kill him quickly before he traps
you to your death. He has a huge amount of hp so this could take a while. But
overall this is a very easy battle to win.
How many times have you gotten burned in that dungeon? Relax, take off your
fire res. equipment(if any) and go back wearing your best armors(unless they
are your best armors.) Your next dungeon is your final story dungeon. Do you
have any Dark Res. equipment? A lot of enemies spawn right on your back and
they tend to do some demon breaths on you. If you don't have any res.
equipments then no matter, the breaths are too small to even hit you, so...
Your character level should be around 35+ but it doesn't mean you can't do it
if you are lower. It just helps if you are at that level. Also, if you have any
undead/flying killer weapons or Light element weapons, this is your time to use
them.
Location: Chaos Castle
Enemies: Dark Knight, Reapers, Death Archers, Skeleton Archers, Chaos Faeries,
Colossus, Frigid Eye, Dragons, Angels
Difficulty: 5/5
Welcome to your doom, this castle is a tough one and there are many enemies
here. If you cannot handle them then don't. You can easily skim through
everything or just kill the ones that are easy for you.
When you are inside the castle, go up to the point until you see your second
flight of stairs. Before you go up those stairs, hug the left or right wall and
you can actually go left or right then back down to a chest on the left path
and an enemy on the right path. Then go back to the middle and foward. Make a
loop around the building to kill every possible enemy for good experience. In
the next 2 areas, go north until you reach a fork between the left and right
path. Both paths will have different enemies but for only one room. The left
path has Reaper enemies and they give out more experience than the right path
but is more difficult. The right path has unicorns and they give out less
experience than the reapers but are much easier. Both paths have a chest ahead
of them. When you get to the next 2 areas, kill some chaos faeries ahead of you
and take the right path for a chest. Head to the left path and you'll see
spikes and a vampire. Kill the vampire but don't go to the left path, keep
going north and then make your way back around by going in an H path, starting
from the bottom right. Once on the left side, make a loop around to kill every
enemy possible and then go on to the next room. You will see a breakable object
in the middle. You can blow it up with bombs but it's pretty complicated so
don't bother. When you get to the narrow pathway with your knights, destroy em'
and prepare to be surrounded by chaos faeries. Run away and let them chase you
or go recklessly and charge after them one by one. Once you dispose enough
chaos faeries an angel appears. Take this enemy out as soon as possible or it
will cast it's spark spell on you and you guessed it right, it will stun you.
In the next area, when you almost to the end you will see fire panels and a
chest on the right. If you want to take the chest then you have no choice but
to risk the chance of being damage by the fire panal and grab it. The exact
timing of when to not get damage is unknown so I can't help you here. Go on to
the next area. You'll encounter 3 Titans and they don't move unless you are
near them and have "woke" them up. Get a few blows on them and quickly turn
backwards. Very easy enemies to kill, yet so much defense and hp. Before you
turn, keep going up and through the wall to a hidden chest. Once you turn
you'll encounter the annoying angels that can stun you. Once you dipose the
faeries and the angels, stand on the green blackish tiles that go from top to
bottom and head down for a hidden chest. Go to the right, past the spikes and
go down the green blackish tiles again for another hidden chest. The hidden
chests don't stop here. Continue on until you reach the beggining third flight
of stairs. Walk up step by step until you can see 2 angels spawn and ambush
you. Quickly defeat them or you'll have a hard time moving around. Defeat the
Holy Titan and out of the four tiles you see on the floor, stand on the bottom
right most corner of the four tiles. Head right past the spikes to a hidden
chest. In the next room, reapers appear and once you get to the stairs, 2 more
will ambush you from your back. Once you get to the end, there is a specter and
3 more evil snipers will appear. This can serve as a deadly battle because you
will be focusing on the specter while also getting hit by arrows. Deal with the
snipers first and you should have no problem getting through. You are almost
there. The next room features robots again. Once you meet your second set of
colossus, kill the three you can see but don't go over the lava. Continue on
the safe path they give you and when you reach the end of that path, a Soul
Dragon will be camping. This is the hardest dragon in the game but does the
same exact thing as what a regular dragon does. One the dragon is defeated you
are able to walk through the room on the left to reach the other side. This is
the safest path to go through because the lava back there can damage you. This
part is probably the most annoying part in the game if you don't kill the
frigid eyes fast enough. They are able to freeze you, resulting in you walking
very slow and worst of all , many can gather in one place and shoot their ice
at you. The only way to deal with this is to keep on moving or just suffer the
attacks and heal when neccessary. Use an angel wing if things get way too
rough. After this and the next area, there is a upcoming mid-boss fight. Care
to take a guess at who it is? Well, guess what? It's Gillespie again! and this
time, it's personal. He challenges you to a duel like what he promised back at
the volcano and out of all the fights against him, this will be the hardest.
When the conversation ends, if you are a melee character, start by going up to
him and take the demon breath damage and whack him until he finishes his rod
attack. This duel is similar to the one in the volcano battle so apply those
tactics here. He also has 2 new attacks but none of them damage you. One of his
new attacks is summoning a monster. This monster can be a monster from chaos
castle or even the volcano. You could also gain exp. from these monsters. His
second new attack is teleporting. When he does these attacks it also alternate.
When he has done his rod attack four times, he first summons a monster. Then
when he does his rod attack another four times, he teleports. So it's : 4 rods>
summon> 4 rods> teleport> 4 rods> summon... repeat. This guy has insane amount
of Hp so if you didn't prepare enough healing pots, go die and come back to
re-duel him. Once having defeated this boss, go up two levels and you will
reach a room similar to where you fought Gillespie. You can also see an egg and
a nest. You can break the egg open but before you do, read what will happen if
you do and you don't.
|--------------------------Breaking the egg---------------------------|
|If you break the egg open, all you have to do is whack it once and |
|it open. The result is that you will get three of the rare level 2 |
|ores, which btw are: Orihalcon, Dark Matter, and Mithril. This egg |
|will dissappear forever once it is broken. If you come back to the |
|castle, you WILL NOT see the egg again. |
|---------------------------------------------------------------------|
|----------------------Leaving the egg unhatched----------------------|
|If you leave the egg unhatched, that means not breaking it open, when|
|you get to advance mode, the egg will hatch and you will get a chance|
|to face the monster that was inside the egg. This is a preferable |
|choice to take because you can actually fight this monster everytime |
|you start a new chaos castle dungeon run. More information is on the |
|side quest section and you should really read this information as |
|soon as possible to know what's going to happen. |
|---------------------------------------------------------------------|
The next area is a long and final hallway of this castle. Before you move on,
use an angel wing and take your time to full prepare yourself for the upcoming
boss fight. Bring as much healing waters you can and it also helps if you can
take over 300 hp. Once ready, head foward and you will probably, well... maybe,
be shocked to see who it is that you are fighting.
Boss: Deatharte
Attacks: Charge, Blast(yep, Blast)
This is a very very very long conversation so if you are bored of him talking,
don't be because if you aren't ready, you can get wiped out in just a second.
He starts the battle by walking up to you. He does not hurt you but what you
should do is to stay as far away from him as possible. If you get too close
you can get hit from his Charge attack. Very devastating, mostly when you are
a spell caster. Then after his Charge, he will swing his axe(don't worry you
can't get hit from his axe) and unleash his Blast attack. This is his most
devastating attack from what you have experienced from other enemies. If you
have very low defense, expect this attack to do some 70 or more damage to you.
With a decent defense, you can take about 50. Even at 130 defense you can take
about 30 damage. These attacks always alternate so the only choice you have is
to stay away from him as far as you can. However, the only time you can hit him
is when he is about to start his Blast attack. That's what's annoying about
this battle. A tip in winning this battle is to go behind him or the opposite
side of where his axe is. Attack him as much and when the Blast comes near you,
like 2cm away from you, start running away and making diagonal turns.
Eventually the blast will dissapear and his Charge attack will also miss.
Another tip is to make sure that your gameboy/sound card is turned on so you
know when his attacks will come at you. The most predictable attack is his
Charge right after his has done his Blast attack. When you hear his stomp as
well as see him stomp, he signaling that his is ready to Charge at you. I hope
this battle wasn't as hard as I said it would be. It's just long and a painful
handwork will end the battle.
Warp back to Klantol and a conversation with King with initiate again. This
time this dialogue is unskippable and most of it is just crap. You adventure is
not over yet! When you are able to move again you arrive at the bar. Go speak
to Jensen and then head back to the King's throne room. Once you arrive you see
that the room has changed and the King, Queen and Princess is missing. The room
also turns black and white. Examine the Dark Orb that is glowing in the middle
of the room and go back to the bar and speak to Jensen. He tells you to follow
him. When you can move your character again, instead of following him, go
behind the counter of his bar and move up-left, hugging the shelves and you
will find some items. There is no explanation as to why these items are here so
please don't ask me. Now move up-right and you'll reach an end. I have no idea
why Sega programed this place to be able to walk on. Follow Jensen down the
stairs and up a very long hall way. This is your final fight. Prepare yourself
one last time before you meet your doom. When you enter the portal, someone
unexpected jumps in with you. It appears to be Angela, the girl who occupies
the room of the inn of where you sleep to fully recover.
Location: Chaos' Domain
Enemies: None
Difficulty 3/5
Final Round, Fight!
Boss: Chaos
Attacks: Burrow, Demon Breath, Summon Monster
A very hideous creature is what you will be facing. He starts off the battle by
summoning a monster. The monster is random and it could even be a Paste. You
can also gain experience from the monster but only if you kill it. During his
summoning animation you cannot damage him but when he finishes, you can, but I
doubt you can land a hit on him because he will use Burrow. When he does this
attack, run away as fast as you can and keep moving because he can damage you
while he follows you. You also cannot damage him unless he unburrows. What's
even worse is that his burrow attack can cause all sorts of status attacks,
including the ones that have happened to me: Fire, Poison, Stun, and Light. I
don't know about freeze though because I seriously doubt that he wil have it
but if you find out, e-mail me and I'll give you credit. Luckly the maximum
amount of hits he can do while burrowing is two and because of his quick speed,
any more hits will result in death for you. If you do not get hit, after about
3 to 4 seconds he will unburrow and you can attack him now. If he has done his
summoning attack before, this time he will alternate and do his Demon Breath.
Again, this can cause blindness so instead he can cause five status attacks.
His attacks alternate like this, starting from when the battle starts: Summon
Monster> Burrow> Demon Breath> Burrow> Summon Monster. There is also something
cool about his Burrow attack. Because he is a mix of Light and Darkness, any
monster that is on the field while he burrows, if he comes in contact when them
he can actually damage them. If he destroys the monster, you do not gain
experience, however, if you hit the monster even once and not kill it and Chaos
ends up killing it, you will still gain experience. Escaping his burrow attack
is a little annoying and some people may have trouble with this. The tip is to
hug the end of the arena you are in and continue around the circle. Here is a
precaution: Do not die from him or you may risk the chances of losing an
elemental resistance(and remember if you die and the last hit was an elemental
attack, you may lose one point of the resistance and it's pernament.) If you
are able to dodge his burrow attack, then you can land a flawless victory
against him because his Demon Breath is the easiest to dodge and his summoned
monster can even be weak.
Congradulations, you have completed the game. If this game was brand new or
your first time playing, two new things have opened up for you:
Advance mode- only for the character who has beaten the game on normal mode.
New playable character- ??? will be an available character to choose. He is the
exact same thing as the regular Dark Wizard already available to you but he has
22 higher stat points than any other character, all of which are evenly
distrubuted to each stat. He has the speed of a Ninja and dialogues may change,
depending on where you are in the game.
There are two parts to the ending. You will actually be able to move your
character when the specific time has reach. That time is approximately 7 mins
starting from when you have defeated Chaos.
*SPOILERS*- but it has really nothing to do with the story line. If you don't
want to know what you can do in the ending then skip this part.
* You will be asked to take a picture. People not from Klantol may *
*be here if you have done side quests, such as reviving Boken back in the *
*Graveyard and rescuing the little boy at the request of the old man. If not *
*then some might not be present and instead of Boken, you will see his ghost. *
*Plan a spot to take a picture in. This has no relevance to the game or the *
*plot and it will not be saved anywhere to be able to look at it. To make *
*things funnier, talk to the photographer and quickly move your character all *
*the way to the bottom of the screen and wait there. When the picture is taken*
*most of the people will be excluded. *
After you have finished what you are doing, it takes approximately another 7
mins for the ending and credits. Didn't I tell you that the ending takes 14
pain-in-the-ass long mins? Watch the credits and enjoy some new and never
before seen sprites and some new information that you may have not known.

24. The Egg
Location: Chaos Castle- Two levels after defeating Gillespie in Chaos Castle.
Availability: During your dungeon run in Chaos Castle.
Trigger: Read below.
Description: When you reach the room you have two options. To break the egg or
leave the egg. The egg will only appear in normal mode.
If you break the egg-
Reward: Three Level 2 ores which consists of 1 Mithril, 1 Dark Matter, and
1 Orihalcon. The egg will not be there ever again if you come back here in a
new dungeon run. The reward in advance is also not available to you.
If you leave the egg unhatched-
*Reward in advance mode: This is only available in advance mode. When you reach
the same room with the egg, it will already be hatched and you will be forced
to fight a boss. The reward for defeating this boss are the following:
50% Mithril
30% Dark Matter
20% Orihalcon
All of these are drops after defeating the boss completly. These percentages
are only based on MY calculations so don't expect it to be accurate. But I can
assure you, you will find more Mithrils than any other ore in this game
primarly because this ore is only the third rarest ore. When you do another
Chaos Castle dungeon run, the boss will be there again so you can fight it as
many times as you wish. However if you go back to normal mode, the egg will not
be there.
What is the prefered choice?
I would leave the egg unhatched and go fight the boss in advance mode. The
level 2 ores obtained from breaking the egg are not even that great and it's
only one of each of the 3 rarest ores. While on the other hand, by fighting
the boss in advance mode, you have an average chance for the boss to drop a
level 3 ore as well as gaining huge experience for defeating it. Best of all,
this boss will be there everytime you start a Chaos Castle run unlike breaking
the egg. Once you break the egg open, it's gone forever and you miss out on
your chance to fight a rare boss.
Secrets-
Note- These are all found in the section " Codes & Secrets " under this game so
credit will be given to them. These are just a better explanation of the
secrets listed there.
Sound Mode:
Turn on your Gameboy and when the logo " Atlus " appears, quickly press the
following buttons before it dissappears:
Up, down, up, down, left, right, left, right, up, right, down, left, B. When
done quickly and correctly, you will hear a sound. When the title screen
appears " Press Start", press start, highlight any mode and first Hold Start,
then press A. You will be taken to the music jukebox of Shining Soul II. You
may now listen to all the music available in this game as well as the sound
effects. However, once you turn off your Gameboy you will have to preform the
code at the " Atlus " screen again to access the sound mode.
Character Extras:
These codes only work for the USA version of Shining Soul II. When you create a
new character and when you have to input a name, instead input one of these
names to get these added extras to your character (case sensitive):
Ninky - Str. +5
Yoshi - Dex. +5
Taicho - Vit. +5
Dengeki - Int. +5, Lightning Resist +30
Iyoku - Fire Resist +30
Mizupin - Ice Resist +30
Montaka - Darkness Resist +30
Saophen - Light Resist +30
Hachi - Poison Resist +30
Vjum - Star with an Atlus Ring in your inventory.
Nindri - Start with a Dream Hat in your inventory.
Genomes - Start with a Genome Ring in your inventory.
VJxSS - Start with a Power Gloves in your inventory.
Duplicate any item:
You must have beaten the game atleast once in order or preform this trick. When
you load your game, you start out on your bed. Drop the items you wish to dupe
anywhere you like in Klantol Castle. It could be outside the bar, inside, or
near your bank, wherever it is it doesn't matter. Make sure you don't go to
another dungeon, not even the Royal Colesseum or Temple of Light. You can only
have a maximum of 16 items in one area so you can only dupe 16 items at one
time. Even if you drop, let's say 2 items near your bank, 3 items near the
bar, and 11 items near the entrance, all these will count toward your limit of
16 items in one area. So the best way is to just drop all 16 items or the items
you are duping in one area. Once you are done, save the game. Don't worry, the
items will still be there. When the game successfully saves, load the same save
data again. Pick up all the items you are planning to dupe and go beat the
game. Once the credits finish rolling, the game will be saved. Load the game
once more and you will have the items you duped in your inventory and the items
you wanted to dupe on the floor of where you dropped it. To make things clearer
you now have two sets of the items duped.
Duplicate Gold without beating the game:
*Caution: Save your game before you do this.
You must have 100k gold in one bag. Go to your bank and place the 100k gold in
your bank. Take another bag of gold with any amount on it(even 1 or 99999) and
place it in your inventory. Do not take the gold from the 100k gold bag. Once
have both bags in place it is crucial that you have nothing in your inventory
but the bag with the amount of gold less than that of the 100k gold bag. Pick
up the 100k gold bag from your bank and place it on top of the gold bag in your
inventory. You will now have 100k gold in your inventory and 100k gold in your
bank. Repeat if neccessary.
The reason I told you to make sure you don't have anything else in your
inventory is because the game can get a little glitchy sometimes and overwrite
a spot in your inventory with the gold bag. So if you have 24 ores and 1 gold
bag and you decide to duplicate money, the chances are that you might lose an
ore and get it replaced by a bag of gold.
Hold more than 100k gold in a bag:
As you can see, the maximum amount of gold you can put in one bag is only 100k.
However you can have more than 100k gold in your bag. The requirements are that
you have to have atleast 200,002 gold in your inventory in order for this trick
to work. When you have the money, go to a dungeon and die there. As a result
of dieing you lose half your gold and drop the rest. This makes it so that you
drop all your gold in one bag, resulting in that bag to have over 100k.
Anything less than 200,002 gold in your inventory will not work and will simply
only give you 100k and below. For example, you have ten 100k gold bags in your
inventory, which means one million gold all together. When you die, you now
have a dropped 500k gold bag in the dungeon.
The caution explained by the person who found this cheat may or may not be
true. I have tried this on a rom version and currently do not have a deleted
file. This may not be true for you so don't expect my results to be true too.
To be on a safe side, I think it would be wise if you only had a bag of maximum
of 999,999 gold. If you have one million in a bag then if you look closer, the
number "one" in the million gold bag will overlap the border around the money.
Usually it is not safe if this happens so put it to 999,999 gold so it won't
overlap the border. Again, I am not sure if this is also safe but it didn't
delete my record. The safer side is to not use this trick at all. If anything
does happen to you, please e-mail me as soon as possible so I can definetly put
a warning label on this trick.
Throw Duplication:
This trick only works for items that you can put in your item slot. First,
clear your item slots by going to the items on the item slot and pressing A.
Put an item that is possible to be put in the item slot, ex: Healing Waters,
Any stat boosting item, Ores, etc. Back out to the field screen and swtich your
item to the item you are duping. Make sure the item next to the duping item in
your item slots is blank. Now go to a place where you can throw items, a
dungeon for example. Charge up your throwing meter and press R to bring up the
item slot menu. Before the item slot menu dissapears, quickly press R and let
go of the B button at the same time. If you done it correctly, the duped item
will fly foward and you will also have the duped item in your inventory. This
trick requires a lot of patience because it is very hard to do. If you can
manage to do this trick easily then this will save you time from duping the
many needed items. I don't really like this trick because I've practiced for
about 10 mins and have only gotten it to duplicate 4 to 5 times. This is
because this trick requires so much precesion and you can sometimes end up
using the item you want to dupe or mostly fail at the trick. Also, the amount
of time you spend duping items can sometimes be more than the amount of time
it takes to beat the game and let the credits roll. So if you can do it very
good then use this trick. If not, don't bother.
