-- Atelier Iris: Eternal Mana 2 -- -- FAQ/Walkthrough -- -- By Kouli (aka Ken Zhao, kenzhao99@yahoo.com) -- -- Version 0.3 -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This FAQ/Walkthrough is based on the Japanese version of Atelier Iris: Eternal Mana 2 that is released on May 26th, 2005. The game is made and published by Gust. Atelier Iris: Eternal Mana 2 is actually a prequel of Atelier Iris: Eternal Mana, BTW. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- \May 28~29, 2005/ - Version 0.1, start up with the basic from the Software Manual, as well as beginning to write the full walkthrough \June 11~12, 2005/ - Vertsion 0.2, continue on the walkthrough \June 13~16 2005/ - Version 0.3, completion of the walkthrough ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- D-Pad & Left Stick: Selecting, movement Circle: Confirm, enter, talk, examine Triangle: Menu, switchover character window Square: High speeed scroll, Original Elementary Recover X: Cancel, Jump ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- New Game: Start the game from the beginning, for first time or new play Continue: Load a previously saved data - To save a game, you need to check a Save Book which is can be found inside tent/camp spot usually Config: Adjusts various configuration - Message Speed - Controller Vibration Function - Event Voice - BGM - Effect Sound - Sound *There is also Omake(Bonus/Extra) that appears once you beat the game. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The game advances from chapter to chapter, and the two protagonist can toggle/ switchover from a Save Book, or the game does it automatically at some chapters in the beginning. By the beginning of Chapter 4, you will be able to do the switch. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Here, we have street, dungeons and towns display, and you can move the hero from one location to another with D-Pad or Left Stick. Also, you won't encount any enemy. While at he selected location, enter it with circle. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From a World Map into a street, town or dungeon map. You still move the hero with D-Pad or Left Stick, talk with people for info, shop, check for items... However, in a dungeon, that's where you will encount random encounters. You can jump and recover Original Elementary aside from checking, talking and opening up the menu. There is also a special thing called the Gimmic Action that is with objects, such like Herb/Grass/Thicket, Solid Rock, Stone Tablet, Hook Claw...etc you can perform different actions given if you have the right items. There is also the usual Camp Circle that you can get into in order to save your game by the Save Book within. You can also heal yourself upon the circle. Of course, you can also toggle/switchover your protagonist. Also, later, Felt can perform Weapon MakeUp similar to Vieze's Item MakeUp. On a dungeon where you can encount random enemies, there is an Encount Gauge. It changes as you move, and represents the appearence rate of the enemies. It changes from Blue, Green, Yellow then Red. Closer to Red means higher random encounter rate, closer to Blue means the opposite of that. Now, for the second part of the gauge, the lower vertical bar. It represents the total enemies. If it empties out, it means there are any more enemies to encount. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is for Vieze only. Basically, this is combining items together to make another item. Although it's Vieze only, but because of the Shared Ring they have, they do share items and Felt can have what Vieze make, as well as collecting items for Vieze to MakeUp. To perform an Item MakeUp, you NEED a recipe first. With a recipe, and the right items, you can now perform the Make- Up. From there, there are options you can make: Substitute Item, View Subordinate Effect and Perfom The MakeUp. Perform the MakeUp and it shall begins. The result will mostly be what the recipe says. If you do mess around with the option 'Substitute Item', you might get different effects, and thus you can re-write over that old recipe to a new recipe. Secondly, there is the Weapon MakeUp with Felt but Vieze's MakeUp Items and Mana are also required. There are also the Secret Factor within items, known as the hidden strength, then the Skill Learning where you get SP after a battle toward equipments. I will talk more about these things later as I uncover more and getting used to them. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Open it up with the Triangle button. You can make all sorts of options here. You can toggle/switch the Character Window with Triangle within the menu, which really doesn't do much. At upper right, there are the time and money you have. Below that, there is your protagonist, his/her level, Life and Next Exp. At the lower left part, there are the various Original Elementaries with the amount number you have. For the Commands, there are 7 of them: Item, Equip, Form, Encyclopedia, Status, Help and Config. Item allows you to view Use Item, Acc, MakeUp Item, Collective Item and Key Iitem. You can also equip Acc to a character here, as well as using a Use Item or Mana MakeUp it. Equip, basically allows the character to equip Acc and Add-Ons. You can equip up to 2 for each, so 4 in total. For the Add-Ons(MakeUp Item), there is that Secret Factor as the hidden strength of the item. Formation, it only shows up if you have more than 1 character in party. It allows you to switch around the characters' positions in battle, between Front, Middle and Back. You can only have up to 3 characters in battle, but the standby one can move up if one in the line dies. Encyclopedia, it allows you to view all sorts of data/lists of things, such as Message, Item, Skill, Monster, Charaacter and Effect. Status, here you can view the characters' stats. Help, it is just tutorials of various basic things. Config, here you can adjust various things. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Encounting an enemy will end up in a battle. This is Active Cost Time Battle, which is turn based but can be pretty intense. There is a Bar at upper left that shows your characters and enemies' turns, such as how close they can do an action. This is quite similar to the Grandia series. So, the enemies stand on the left, characters stand on the right, with their Names and HPs below themselves. Upper right, we have the Skill Gauge which is required if you want to use 'Skill'. It moves up as you do Charge Attack or getting attacked by the enemies. Above the characters' head, there are the Battle Commands you can do: Charge Attack: Attack the enemy with weapon Break Attack: Attack that delays the enemy's turn. This is another factor that is similar to the Grandia series. You can also chain up Break Attacks that can result in bonus Exp Item: Use the items in inventory Skill: Use a skill of a character Mana MakeUp: This is for Felt only. You can use an item with Mana Power which is just the Original Elementary Escape: Here you can atempt to flee the battle Change: Here you can shift to another character Defend: Here you can defend the enemy's attack for lesser damage The basic rule of a battle is, to defeat all enemies or yourself destroyed. That will be either a Victory for you or a Game Over. Last of all, it's the Abnormal Status in battle: Poison, where you lost Life at times. Sleep, where you can't act because your icon stops at the ACT Bar. Paralyze, this is where you lose power of your attacks and skills. Curse, this is where you can't recover life. Knock-Down, this is where you 'die' or can't fight anymore. Revives in the end of the battle but only half exp. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Walkthrough-------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- After scenes, you are quickily taken into a battle. Just Charge or Break Attack that Imperial Infantry and the battle should end quickily. After, another battle kick in. You can now use 'Skill' and your enemies are two Imperial Soldiers. Do use Skill and select 'Stoma Attack'. You can easily take out both enemies with this. After, more scenes. Then, Kreuz will give you 'Shared Ring' and you will gain control of Vieze. After, speak with Lutenes by the door to get 'Introduction To Basic Alchemy', also recipes to 'Refuel Herb' and 'Fear Bottle'. Then exit out for more scenes. Vieze ends up in NoyEarle. Check the near shop if you wish, then explore around to the next area. At the next area, enter the near house for a scene. Doesn't look like Felt is here. Oh well, go up and check out the sink to get 5 'Pure Water'. And remember, the book at the first floor allows you to save or load your game. Exit out and there is another shop near by. Now when you are done, exit out NoyEarle. There will be a path to BerkHeide Gate. As you enter, more scene and Felt will join, the on screen character also changes to Felt. There are Original Elementaries here, Wood&Water Elementaries to be specific, so make sure you recover them with Square while stand near them. Once you're done, exit out. There should be a path to get to Malmel Forest. You can also enter back to the Eden Church and go right to recover some Original(Rock) Elementaries. Do remember, these Original Elementaries regenerate as you exit and re-enter that location. Each type maxes at 99 and you can easily get Water, Wood and Rock to 99 at this point. You can actually do the same with the Pure Water from above, but anyway, when you are done, head to Malmel Forest. As you enter, more scene to see. There is a Help for you, read it if you want to. Continue your way to the right and recover Original Elementaries if you wish. Eventually, you will get to an area with a sword stabbed into the ground. Check it out for more scenes.

South leads to the Great Desert with strong enemies, east leads to West Legenbogen which is blocked right now. North leads to the Sand Ruins and that is where we are going. As you enter, more scenes. After, enter the ruins. Do explore around and recover some Original Elementaries, as well as getting items. At SE/Lower Right, there is a tent spot, save your game and continue on to the next area.

Just watch out for negative status like Poison and heal more frequently then the battle isn't all that hard. Just not to Break but just Charge Attack to build up the gauge to unleash powerful skills from each character. Here, use Yugudol Potion to get Pearl Seed. Now get back to Pou in North Grad Plain. After scenes, Pou will join the party. After scenes, that is it for this chapter. Exit out the tent/camp and go out to the World Map. Then head to Misty Forest. You can also switch to Vieze and talk with Yakke at the shop for another recipe of alchemy. Anyway, the misty forest isn't all that confusing. The path to take is all the way to north.

Then head to the Agito Spring. Back to that last area, and here you can speak with Jiftos. Now go check out that statue at NE of the first map. Then head back to the Eden Church. Speak with Kreuz here. Now go back to NoyEarle for a scene then into the shop. Yakke wants the Yuganz Chronicle and if you already checked "Water Source", you should already have the Lower Volume of that. If not, go back there and I think you will need the Mega Fram. Yakke will give you another recipe. So go back to the WorkShop to make the "Fin Rainbow Cloth" then another scene with Yakke. After, go back to the statue in Agito Spring. Use a Fin Rainbow Cloth on it in order to read it. After that, get back to Jiftos. Vieze will make a pact with this mana. Then go back to the WorkShop. More scenes and the game will switch back to Felt automatically. That ends this chapter. Exit out the tent/camp, and head back to the soldiers at south. After more scenes, exit out to the World Map at right. A path to Grad should show up now. Well, go there. More scenes upon entering, then check out the near Magic Shop. After, go to the right for more scenes. After, continue to the right and you can talk with Svain. Just go exit out this place and there will be 2 more new locations: Grad Street to the south and Misty Valley to the east. Re-enter Grad and go speak with Telesse. After the scene, speak to her again to handover the "Moonstone" and "Shario Milk". Neun will leave the party and after the scenes, go to speak with Svain again. You will get the "Hermes' Document" that gets you the recipe to make "Hermes' Key". After, return to the previous area for more scene. Neun will join back to the party. Now, back to the World Map. Check out Grad Street first. You can unlock 3 more locations here: Imperial Camp to the west, Dragon's Nest to the east and Black Forest(1) to the south. Forget about Imperial Camp and Black Forest for now, also, there is nothing to do at the Dragon's Nest, so that leaves to the Misty Valley. However, before doing that, switch back to Vieze and at least make some Hermes' Key. After, start off by opening the silver box on the second floor of the WorkShop. Next, there is one at the History Resource Center(previous dark room, where you used the lamp, remember?), one more for the door in the Eden Church and one more within that place. Also, you can find another statue to read in there and also another mana for you to make a pact with; Further more, there should be another one at the Small Desert(where Felt was when he first got to BerkHeide). That's about it, time to get to Misty Valley. In there, continue along the path to the right. At the intersection, you can go up to get to a cave that has another recipe. Anyway, you have two paths: lower and upper right. Continue to go to the lower right and eventually, you would exit out to the World Map and one new location called "Kreee". In that village, head into one of the houses and speak with an oldwoman. After some scene, the party will be dismissed. Now go find Fee who is just by the house. Then go south/southeast in the village to find that Gray. You will be taken into a battle against IMPERIAL DRAGON Ardegevald. Don't bother, just let him kill you since you can't win. His Flare Cannon would mostly kill you anyway. After scenes, Pou, Neun and Gray will join back to the party. Now exit out to the World Map for 3 more locations: Nilvia Spring to the NE, Mysterious Facility to south and Relzaz Cavern to north. Check out that Nilvia Spring, in there, you will eventually get to a house where you will need to give 6 "Phoenix Bird Feather" in order to pass. Eventually, there will be another WorkShop and more scenes. Anyway, since you can't check out that Relzaz Cavern and there is nothing interesting at the Mysterious Facility, so, go to the Dragon's Nest. But before that, switch to Vieze and exit out for more scene then exit out to the World Map. "Weather Vane Hill" will show up on the World Map. Now, go back to Felt and time to check out Dragon's Nest. Speak with the Master here for more scene. There will be a help, view it if you want to. You can now train in the Coliseum. Take the Dragon's Trial. First up, the Elder Wyrm. After 4 mini fights, you will end up fighting Elder Wyrm. Just Charge Attack for some turns, then Break Attack, then guard, hopefully, you won't take as much damage from his Tera Flame. Then just unleash your best skills. After, you would get 3 Dragon's Blood. Gray will learn the skill "Dragon Killer". You can then take 5 more trials: Dragon's Nest Intro Part, Sword Trial, Fighter Trial, Light Trial and Devil Trial. Each of them has 4 mini fights and then the boss. Finishing the Dragon's Nest Intro Part would unlock the Dragon's Nest Elementary Level Part. Clear that and you would unlock the Dragon's Nest Intermediate Level Part. Clear that, and you would unlock the Dragon's Nest Advanced Level Part. The last fight of that Advanced Level can be tough, but if you equip Sylphes Pass, you should be fine. Clear the other trials if you want. There are currently 9 Trials available at this point, including the Dragon's Trial you did. Now, it is time to head to Relzaz Cavern. In there, make your way to the north to the next area. Then make your way to the upper right. There will be a tent/camp spot, Then go right to the final area. Make your way down and there will be another scene. Of course, you will be taken into a battle against IMPERIAL DRAGON Ardegevald. Alright, Gray is the focus here. He should use his "Double Dragon Chain Attack" or "Anti-Dragon Chain Attack" skill, while the other two can Charge Attack to fill up the bar, heal if you need and lastly, Break Attack from time to time. His Dragon Anger attack can be pretty damaging, be sure to heal after. With the "Dragon Killer", Gray should be able to kill Ardegevald with 3 "Anti-Dragon Chain Attack". After the battle, more scenes. After, return to that oldwoman in Kreee. After more scenes and that ends the chapter. Head to the Imperial Camp for scenes. Now head to the Grad Street for some more scene. Speak to that Illusional Beast. You can need the Lafnis Cookie. To get the recipe for that, get back to the Magic Shop in Grad. She will sell you the recipe. Switch to Vieze and try to make some Lafnis Cookie. Then head back to that Illusional Beast. Use a Lafnis Cookie and more scene. Now head to the Black Forest. Head to the left for another scene. Make your way to SW to the next area. Then go SE then continue to the right to exit out to the World Map. You would get the new location "Illusional Beast Village". After some scenes, head up and at the right cave, there is the Illusional Beast Chief. After the scenes, attempt to exit out the village. Afterward, head to the Imperial Camp. After scenes, go in the near tent for one silver box and one normal box. After, go to the left for more scene. You will end up fighting Garahad. You should end the battle ASAP, because every turn, Garahd has a skill called "Heavenly Light" that increase his atk, mag, def and agi. This is definitely not a battle for you to toy around with. Just Charge Attack to build up the gauge, then use some of the better skill from Felt. The other two can heal constantly or use Break Attack from time to time. After the battle, more scenes. The game will automatically switch to Vieze. After scenes, exit out the WorkShop for more scene. Then go to speak with Kreuz in the Eden Church. After, besure to check that box. Vieze will make a pact with that mana. Besure to read around and the upper left shelf has another recipe that teaches to make the "Banvus Claw". Then exit out to speak with Lutenes. Now, attempt to head out for a short scene then back to the WorkShop. As you enter the WorkShop, more scenes. Now, make some Banvus Claw. After, go to Weather Vane Hill. Make your way through the area, and don't foget to check out the staute here. At the last area, you would meet with Sylvest. Vieze will make a pact with it as well. Now back to the previous area, just near, you can take a moving stone to the left, take that path and eventually, another scene. You would get the Hexa Glass. Now back to the WorkShop. You can make the "Vieze's Amulet" now. More scenes and the game will automatically switch back to Felt. View the letter. Afterward, this chapter will end. After scenes, go to the Illusional Beast Village. As you enter, more scenes. Just exit out this village and back to the World Map. Black Forest(2) will show up. In the first area, continue to the left. Next area, cross the bridge and a scene with Mietze. Then exit out from north. "South Grad Plain" will show up on the map. Go there. Continue to the left to the next area. You will meet up with that Trene. You will be taken into an easy fight. Anyway, there is an intersection here: exit out at north will unlock "Alhe Village" on the World Map, exit out at west will unlock "East Legenbogen" and going south would just end up getting a recipe in a silver box. East Legenbogen can't be passed at the moment so go to Alhe Village. Check out the house at north and speak with the girl within. After scenes, you would be out on the World Map and one more location called "MidGard South Lake Shore" appears. Go in there. There are a statue, Illusional Beast and a silver box here, anyway, go north and then go right down, then north again to exit out. Now the path to Zeyung appears. Go in and more scene. You will confront the 2 guards. After, enter. Now, at the first area, take the upper right path. Next area, then head to the east to go down the stairs. Pass the 2 sewer areas, you are back up stairs. Then go up again. Continue to the right to the next area. Go south to move on another area. Take the near entrance to the next area, then the near path again. Finally, a tent/ camp spot, besure to save your game. After, head up the stairs. After scene, you will battle against the General and guards. Take out the 2 Support Soldiers then take out the Front Guard then the General. Just watch out to heal and you should be fine. The General has quite some HPs, so it takes sometime. After, you will get a Pass. Now, there won't be enemies, so you are free to explore around especially if you miss anything. After, back to the area where you can't enter. In that area, go right for more scenes. After, back to the previous area and attempt to exit out this area will trigger more scenes. In the end, you will fight against Chaos. Just Charge Attack to build up the bar, heal frequently and unleash skills from Felt. However, do finish the battle as fast as you can. The longer the more dangerous, so keep that in mind. After, more scenes. That ends this chapter. Now head to where you first met with Max in the previous chapter. You will get a scene with Fee. Now head to the Althena's Church. More scenes as you enter the church. After, see the soldier in blue near the tent/camp spot? He can save you some walking if you ever want to get in/out this place quick. Anyway, as you exit out, Gray, Neun and Pou will join back the party. Now head to that East Legenbogen. After some funny scenes, continue to the left to exit out to the World Map. There is a new location called "Market" appears. In there, go speak around and shop if you wish. Afterward, exit out and a path to that "Rise Palace" will show up. You can go check out "Back Street", and you can speak with that Bar Owner as well. You can also shop from her if you speak to her again afterward. Anyway, head to Rise Palace. After scenes, you will be inside the Palace. Check out the room at the end of the hallway. After, you can also check out the room that's near. Check the picture on the wall for another scene. Then check that bookselve. Anyway, speak with Trene after. Afterward, you will be at the Back Street. Check out the bar for more scenes. That ends this chapter. Afterward, just head out to check on Neun. Now, go to Alhe Village. Head into the north house again. Speak with the oldman here. You will need to give the Mega Fram to him. After scenes, you will learn recipes. Switch to Vieze and go make some Tera Fram. Now, you can head to Tatalia Village for more scenes. So head to the Sand Ruins. Pass the tent/camp spot to the last area for another scene. Enter the additional area and head to the most right for more scenes with another WorkShop. After, exit out the place. Now go to Black Forest(2). Here, bomb the object near where Mietze was with Tera Fram. This will unlock a path to exit out the World Map, that eventually unlocks another location called "Zettel Village". After a scene, speak around. Shop if you wish. After, exit out to the World Map. This will unlock "Black Forest(3)". Before that, you can switch to Vieze and check out "Crystal Statue". In there, you can make a pact with another mana with a "Comet Jade Stone". Once you are ready, go to the Black Forest(3) with Felt. In there, go east all the way to exit out to unlocks "Spring Of Everlasting Darkness" on the map. But you can't do much at this point. If you go south to exit out in Black Forest(3), you will unlock "Graveyard" on the map. Go there. In the first area, warp to the next area at the green circle. Then take the lower left one, then the lower right one. You will end up in an area with a tent/camp spot. Save your game and move on to the last area. You will fight the "Incarnation Of Sleif". Watch out your healing and you shouldn't have much problems. It has a lot of HPs, however. So this will take a while. If you have Lung Refuel, that would work nicely against his "Einzelkampf". He has a move called "Gate" that allows him to summon a Guardian to help him. It gets worse as he summons more, so do get rid one or two from time to time. Or you could do full party or area attacks, so you can damage that Incarnation Of Sleif as well. Soon, he will start to defense when he's low on HPs. After the battle, Fee will learn Einzelkampf. Anyway, exit out this place. Back to Zettel Village for more scene. Now head to that Spring Of Everlasting Darkness. As you enter, another scene. You only have Pou and Felt for this area, so beware of that. There are couple boxes around, do check get them and there is a WorkShop to NE. Afterward, exit out. After scenes, Neun, Gray and Fee will join back to the party. After scenes, you will be back to the Althena's Church. After, take the hidden path to meet Yuvelia. After scenes, that ends this chapter. The game will switch back to Vieze. Read the letter and after a scene, exit out the WorkShop for more. Then exit out to the World Map. You can check out the Moon Tower if you wish. There are a statue, couple boxes including a silver box and of course another Mana. To make a pact with Prua, exit out and get back to NoyEarle for another scene. Then time to get back to the Eden Church. You can speak with Lutenes about Prua. Anyway, speak with Kreuz. After, get back to the WorkShop for more scenes. Now, head to the hidden library in Eden Church to find out about Elixir recipe and another recipe. Back to the WorkShop for more scene. Now go to the History Resource Center in NoyEarle. It's the dark room from before. After scene, get back to Prua. Vieze will make a pact with it and time to get back to the History Resource Center. Vieze will make a pact with Aion the Life Mana. Now go to speak with Kreuz. Then go check out the Crystal Statue. Go to the SE from there to antoher area, continue on and eventually, another scene. Continue on and eventually, you will be at the last area. Check out the water for the "Yugudol Boil Magical Water". Anyway, back to the WorkShop for more scenes and make the Elixir for more scenes. After, go exit out the WorkShop for another scene and go to speak with Kreuz then back toward the WorkShop. You will another scene triggers by the History Resource Center. Then back to the WorkShop for more scenes. That ends this chapter. The game will switch back to Felt. After scenes, it is time to make some final preparation, such as making your best weapons, and you can take 5 more new Trials at the Dragon's Nest: Expert Class Spirit, Expert Class Beast Human, Expert Class Darkness Family&Relations, Expert Class Mercenary Unit and Expert Class Puni. Anyway, once you are ready, go to speak with Hagel. After scenes, you will end up in East Legenbogen. Continue down for battles. Afterward, head to the Rise Palace. After a scene, head inside. Continue up for another scene. There is a tent/camp spot here if you need to save your game. Go right from the tent/camp spot. Continue and at another hallway area, take the second room from the left. After, head back to speak with the person that's near the tent/ camp spot. Now, head to the left. At the hallway area, head into the first room to help out then go into the room at the end of the hallway to speak with a man. Then go to the right again from the ten/camp spot and check the end room to help out again. You probably don'y have to do this in order, but it's basically check out the middle room of either side, and there is one room at each side where you can help out. After you did all these, go into the middle room at the right side. At the courtyard, more scene and make sure you save your game at the central tent/camp spot at the courtyard. Once you are ready, head up the stairs at north. Another scene and you will fight against Garahad once again. This is very similar to the last fight, and by now, you should have gotten stronger and probably able to deal more damage, so this is not really difficult, just a bit time consuming. After the battle, take the near door(the right most one in this area). After the scene, check out the room before Garahad to help out. Now take the door left of Garahad. You can help out once again at the first room. After, back to the area with Garahad and take the right most door once again. Take the door at the end of the hallway. Now, head back to the area with Garahad and take the left most door. At the room at the end of the hallway, speak with the person there for more scene. Then, back to the courtyard and speak with the person here. Now, back to the area with Garahad, take the most right door once again. Get into the door at the end of the hallway and you can now go up the stairs. Save your game at the tent/camp spot and get into the room to the left. After a scene, you will end up fighting Quetzalcoatl. Now, this is probably the most difficult battle you can have at this point, but it isn't really all that hard. It can single attack but also full party attack, as well as bad status. Also, it has tons of HPs. Try to have at least someone to heal constantly, like every turn. When it uses the move called "Null Sphere", have your members Defend. Eventually, it will go down. After, more scene. Head back to the area with Garahad. After more scenes, head toward East Legenbogen for more scene. Continue out and more scenes. You will be at Althena's Church, save your game and enter. More scenes and hurry to where Yuvelia is. More scene and you will end up fighting Chaos. Now, just Charge Attack to build up the bar then unleash skills. Chaos will just keep using Hiten Akatsuki (Scarlet Sky Red Moon). Then further, he will use his usual Guren Haki (Crimson Aspiration) that raises his stats. If you have Mana Weapon or Mana Barrier, use them. As to damage him, use "Raising Blow" or "Phantom Edge" if you have those. He also uses Hiten Zangeki (Scarlet Sky Slash Attack) which is less damaging. Few Raising Blow should finish him off. If you need to, heal yourself frequently. After, more scenes. That ends this chapter. Alright, Vieze in the house, well, in BerkHeide to be exact. Walk down a bit and you will encount into a battle, JUST like Felt did. Anyway, make your way out of the Small Desert at south. Then head to the Oasis. If you check out a tent/camp spot, Vieze can then do alchemy through this pot. Speak with the girl here then exit out. Head to Tatalia Village. Head to the eastern area of the village for more scene. Then head into the north tent to speak with the village chief. Speak around then exit out. Go to Desert Crossroads. Speak with the person here and exit out at east. Head to West Legenbogen. Exit out here and head to Back Street. Speak around and then speak to the Bar Owner for more scene. Exit out and head to Rise Palace. Get to the courtyard and head toward the stairs for more scene. After, attempt to exit out this place for more scenes. Afterward, both Fee and Gray will join the party. Now attempt to exit out this place for another scene then head to West Continent Coastline which is just above West Legenbogen. Exit out at north and head to Northern Cave. Go NE twice to exit out and then go to Max' Hideout. In there, more scene. After, head toward Neun and that petrified Max. Go make a Melk Orb and with that, you can cure Max. After more scene, speak with Max to move on. After, exit out NE. Head to the Max Camp. After more scene, Neun will join the party then exit out to Onuki Cave. Go NE and eventually, a scene with that Trene. Continue to the right to exit out. Finally, you are at Althena's Church. After scenes, cure Ezerin with Melk Orb. After scene, you know what to do: head to where petrified Felt is. After scene, use a Melk Orb on Felt to try to cure him. After scenes, head into a tent/camp spot for more scene. Now head to the Water Source. More scene as you enter. Continue to the right then to upper left for more scene. Continue to the NE and more scene. If you use Frey Hammer on these rocks that just felt down, you can get the Ancient Stalactite. Now attempt to exit out this area for more scene. Pou will join back to the party. You can now get back to the Althena's Church. Get to the tent/camp spot and make Nisdal Orb by using the Melk Orb recipe but changing the Sunshine Stone to the Ancient Stalactite. More scene and you can now cure Felt with this Nisdal Orb. After more scenes, that ends the chapter. After scenes, your next destination is MidGard South Lake Shore. But before that, check out the Dragon's Nest since it has 5 new Trials: Master Class Dragon Tribe, Master Class Demon Beast, Master Class Witch, Master Class Weapon and Master Class Demon God. Also, if you check out a tent/camp spot, you can now make weapon again. Once you are ready, go to that MidGard South Lake Shore. Head to the lower right and speak with the person here for more scenes. After, press right to head into Eden. After a scene, you are back to BerkHeide Gate. Exit out. Head to NoyEarle for more scene. Head to Eden Church for more scenes. Speak with Hagel then Max. You will get the recipe to make the Megido Key that allows you to open gold boxes&doors. To exit out or go to other places in Rise Palace faster, you can speak with the person in blue again. To make a Megido Key, you will need the Golden Crowbar and Nisdal Orb. Nisdal Ord you already know how to make, but Golden Crowbar is somewhat hidden. First, you need the Silver Crowbar recipe. Change one material to either Damask Ore or Grasen Ore. With this, you should be able to make the Golden Crowbar then you can make the Megido Key. Now, let's head back to the Althena's Church. Head back to where Yuvelia is. Examine her and check the shiny red spot on the floor. After, go to Seseir Forest. There is a gold box here to NE and a gold door to NW. Beyond the gold door, there is a WorkShop. After more scenes, head back to Yuvelia for more scenes. Next, head to Kreee. There is a gold door to NE that leads to a hidden shop. Anyway, speak around and head to Relzaz Cavern for another scene with Garahad. After, head to where you fought IMPERIAL DRAGON Ardegevald from before. You will fight against that IMPERIAL DRAGON Ardegevald once again, but by now, you should be too strong and with Gray alone, you can beat it easily. Second battle, this gets tougher due to the fact that he gets 500 HP heal every turn and you have to watch out for his attacks. So you will be healing and attack, then unleash skills. Also, his Flare Cannon attacks the whole party and in fact, it's very deadly. With enough healing each turn, then building up the bar, and using Gray's "Destroy Dragon Combo Attack", you should be able to beat it eventually. After, more scenes. Next, in South Grad Plain, exit out at SW(after cleaing the rock using a Tera Fram) and you will be able to go to Mountain Grade. In Mountain Grade, exit out at SW and you will be able to head to South Grad Coast. In there, there are 2 gold boxes: one at most right and one at most left that requires some Banvus Claws. After, head south for a scene with Mietze. Afterward, you can now take the ship and head to Island Of Darkness. Go through that place and when you exit out, you can get to the Winter Bune. Pretty big area, I suggest you just use a Fear Bottle and explore freely. At the last area, you get more scenes with Paracelsus's WorkShop. After, might as well use a Return Gem to warp out. Now, go to the Mysterious Facility. Check out the statue here for a fight. After that, you get a new recipe. Next, head to Alhe Village. As you enter, more scene with that Trene. There is gold door here, within there is another WorkShop. More scenes, speak with the man near the tent/camp spot. Now, go to the house at north and speak with the man there. Afterward, head to Mountain Grade. At NW, there is a cave. After more scenes, you will get the Twilight Mirror. Now, in "The Path To The Sacred Mountain", head out at left and you can go to the Sealed Ruins. In there, get near the seal for more scene. In the last area, more scenes. You will fight against 3 Evil Servants. These guys can be pretty deadly, so try to get them one by one. Gray's "Holy Blade" works really good on these guys. Afterward, continue on and more scenes. You will get anther recipe at the end. You now have all materials you need to make the "Red Crystal Of The Sage". Once you do so, more scenes. Erasmus(Deep Pale Azot) will be revived. That's about it for this chapter. More scenes and you are free to go around Eden. Do remember that, since Azot has been revived, so it has 2 more powerful variations you can change to: Azure Sky Azot and Tyrant Azot. Anyway, just go around Eden and use Nisdal Orb to cure. Anyway, behind where Kreuz is, you can get into the Temple Of Creation. Walk north a bit and there is a tent/camp spot. Just continue to north to advance from area to area, eventually, you will get to the next tent/camp spot. Get in that tent/camp spot for another scene. The next few areas can be confusing, but just stick your way to NE and you should be outside. Head toward the warp point will trigger a fight against Interrogator Of Creation and Bodyguard Of Creation. Go for the Interrogator Of Creation first then that Bodyguard Of Creation. It's not much of a battle as long as you heal frequently and also, they both got tons of HPs, so this will take a while. After, take the warp point to the next area. Head to the north to the next area. Continue up and be sure to save your game at the next and final tent/camp spot you see. Eventually, you will get to Paracelsus. After more scene, you will battle against Paracelsus, the final boss of the game. His "Destroy World Sword" can deal quite some damage to a single target, and "Red Moon" can attack the party with lots of damage as well. Anyone with low HPs or Defense are probably going to get killed by either of those move instantly if hit. Next, there is his "Dimensional Rumbling", which can deal damage and bad status. Next, there is his "Crimson Dragon Split" which can do lots of damage as well as decrease your elemental resistence. You mostly have to heal constantly and try to not let him act after Crimson Dragon Split. Also, there is one more move he uses called "Crimson Curtain" which ust decrease your stats. The rest is just staying alive and attacking even with all these cheap moves he's using. Charge Attack if you can't delay his turn any longer. Break Attack more often and Defend if you need to. Healing is also needed for every turn, so be sure you have enough healing items. As for building up the bar, you aren't going to build it up that much so it will build up when you get attacked by him. Don't worry about it much, you don't really need to use skills constantly here. It's all about a long time consuming battle. After, more scenes and sit back to enjoy the ending. The game will promt you to make a save at the end, do so. Once you beat the game, the option "Omake" will show up at the Title Menu. You can check out "Name List", "Concert Hall", "Movie Theatre" and "Resource Center". When you exit out this, the game will tell you the Dragon's Nest has new stages. So, load a file and head to Dragon's Nest like you would do in a normal game. When you do get there, you would get 10 new Trials: Legendary Class Puni, Legendary Class Demon Beast, Legendary Class Spirit, Legendary Class Fallen Angel, Legendary Class Mushroom King, Legendary Class Demon God, Legendary Class Immortal, Legendary Class Demon Dragon, Legendary Class Darkness Family&Relations and Legendary Class Weapon. If you do clear all these plus the previous ones, meaning all 29 Trials, you get the 30th one: Ultimate Class Hammer Hero. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Me - CJayC - Gust ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This Document Copyright 2005 Kouli
