Credits [TORV] =============================================================================== 1 ) Introduction [TORI] =============================================================================== Hey everyone! So, this is the first walkthrough I've ever written, so it might not be the best one ever, but I tried xD I've always been a fan of the Tales games, my first one being Phantasia on the SNES. From then on I've been hooked! I've played all of the american releases, but was disappointed that a lot of them had not been localized! Now my mission is to get the rest imported, and it seems like my parents read my mind since they gave me this game last christmas! I've been studying Japanese for almost two years in school, so I understood most of this game on my own, but I did have to use one of the translation guides out there to get the best experience. The reason I wrote this walkthrough is because I desired a more in-depth one, for the next time I re-play Rebirth myself, as well as to share with the rest of the world, lol. But enough ramblings about me. Some things I'd like to note before getting on with the walkthrough is that I wrote this especifically to go along with lanyn's translation guide (for the people who don't know Japanese, that is). Also, in the English Tales games, the gummies, such as "Apple Gummies" are translated as "Apple Gels", but I decided for it to remain as "Apple Gummies" (etc) in this guide. On the other hand, the check items, such as "Poison Check" are translated as "Poison Charm" in my guide, just as they are called in the English versions. Also, while Sannytown is translated as Sunnytown in lanyn's translation FAQ, I decided to keep it as Sannytown because that's how the english spelling is in the game. Additionally, the sidequests #4, & 18 are not covered here fully. For more details please refer to lanyn’s Battle Mechanics/Sub Events FAQ. Oh yeah, I would actually recommend for you to either know katakana, or at least learn how recognize it, since you kind of need to the names of the towns if you want to use the Quick Traveling option (cowboy-hat-man). =============================================================================== 2 ) Updates [TORII] =============================================================================== I'll get around this eventually. Some of the things I will be adding in my next playthrough are: -the translations for the quests -the translation with meeting Claire’s fellow kidnapped girls -the translation for what party members say when separated. -the Monster Book list -a walkthrough for the Bonus Dungeon Btw, do excuse my pretty shoddy translations. I know they're not the best, but I'm not an expert on japanese quite just yet xD =============================================================================== 3 ) Getting Started [TORIII] =============================================================================== =+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+= A. Story [IIIA] =+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+= The Story of Two Tribes There are two races from the distance past. "Knowledge" shall govern "Humas", "Power" shall govern "Gajumas" In the past, People went through great hardship as they worked together to build the Kingdom of Karegia. For many generations since then, Gajuma have been crowned as the rulers of this country, and under their rule, peace and prosperity continued to thrive. However, the peace between the two races suddenly began to collapse. Many lives were lost due to incidents occurring in various places. Due to the chaos that began on the death of King Ladras, people called this incident the "Dusk of Ladras". In the north of the village of Sulz, the fate of a cold, lonely youth by the name of Veigue would be greatly changed by the "Dusk of Ladras". One Year Later, In front of an unsociable Veigue towers a giant ice block. Inside of it, Claire, a girl from his childhood, is trapped. This sight has remained unchanged since exactly one year ago. Veigue has tried everything in his power to break Claire's confine, to no avail. The only thing he can do is watch... But it is then that a strange duo arrives to the village, and are able to melt away the ice that entraps Claire. The emergence of these two nudge Veigue to leave Sulz, and start on a journey.. Throughout his journey, Veigue will meet many people through a variety of circumstances, and he will soon be faced with the problems of Karegia. Veigue and company will struggle to look for the answer, whilst entangling himself with the lives of others. Can Veigue find the answer to "What is human?" ========================== Tales of Rebirth Keywords ========================== Tribes and Kingdoms: This world is home to two tribes, the Humas who are born with high intellect, and the Gajumas who are born with excellent physical abilities. Although the Kingdom of Karegia is made up of these two tribes, since its founding, Gajumas have been crowned king for generations. Under their rule, the world has thrived in both peace and prosperity. However, at the same time as the demise of the late king, the world became covered with a dark shadow, bringing about an end to the peace of Karegia. Force: People's life and spiritual power has produced "special abilities". The power of mind and heart, which has been influenced by the spirit of ancient times. Due to a certain event, what was originally a Gajuma-only ability, is now a power that is indistinguishable between different types of races. The Force began to appear within all kinds of people. Force can be expressed in the form of art and technology, Force is something that is embodied by the "Force Cube". Virus: Things from nature are being transformed into monsters. Quite a few number of these monsters called Viruses seem to be popping up all over the world. However, currently that number has been starting to increase. =+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+= B.

Our Main Protagonist, Veigue, will be sulking inside an ice-looking place, and two newcomers will come in to disturb him. You will have to fight the red-haired kid, Mao. It’s a pretty easy battle. However, you don’t have to win, plus it’s time limited to 60 seconds. You won’t be able to use skills at the moment either, so just hit away with your sword until it’s over. After, you will head outside of here and another small battle will trigger. This time it will be against 2 birds and a boar, but on the bright side, your new companions will join you in battle! Afterwards they will join the party, and you will receive the BATTLE BOOK after an automatic skit. When you are finally in control, head left from here. The house with the red-ish roof is a Weapon and Armor Store, however there is nothing worth buying at the moment (and you don’t have much money in the first place). Continuing on the left path, in the next screen there will be a house with a purple roof. This is the Inn/Food Store. There will be a Save Spot inside as well. Use the facilities if you desire before returning to the previous screen. This time head up the stairs on the upper left to continue. Enter the only house there to trigger a scene. Afterwards, you will have to exit out of here and head to the Assembly Hall (the place where Claire had been frozen). Watch the scenes, and after you will be thrown in to battle. Tomah has 51000 HP, soyou pretty much have no hopes in winning. After he obliterates you, Saleh will join in the fun and Claire will be taken away (surprise, surprise). After the scenes, Mao and Eugene will gain some titles: Mao: "Boy With Amnesia" +2 Slash Defense Power bonus. "Deserter" +2 Thrust Defense Power bonus. Eugene: "Ex-Commander" +2 Slash Defense Power bonus. Now head left for a scene with Claire’s parents. After it you will now be able to Cook. Awesomeness. Now before we leave Sulz there are a couple of things to do still. First, enter the Inn and talk to the guy manning the Food Store to obtain some MILK, CARROTS, and POTATOES. Then step outside to talk to the guy running the Item Store to receive a PEACE GUMMY and a LIFE BOTTLE. Now it’s time for our first sidequest! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *SIDEQUEST #1* Monica and Steve, Part 1 of 4 Enter the weapon shop and talk to Steve (blonde guy) and a scene will trigger. After it, head to the Assembly Hall to talk to Monica and another scene will trigger. That will be all for now. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Finally, after all of this feel free to leave the village. Once in the World Map, follow the path, and enter the Great Larulen Bridge. After a short scene, you will be introduced to the Dark Wings, who are part of the army. A small fight will ensue, it’s not really anything worthy, but here are their stats. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- BOSSES: Ginnal HP: 1000 Yusia HP: 500 Drumb HP: 1200 As you can tell, they’re not that tough. Veigue will fight them alone, and I would recommend you to attack Ginnal first, followed by Yusia, and lastly Drumb. After defeating them, you will receive some Milk, Carrots, and Potatoes, along with 6 EXP and 6 Gald. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- After the battle, exit and then continue following the road until you see a small house in the distance. As you approach it a skit will trigger. Head inside after. This place is called the Keketto Hostel. =============================================================================== Keketto Hostel [ToR1B] =============================================================================== The bear-like Gajuma at the counter will sell you some items and food. Stock up if needed and then head to the left. This will be the Inn. You will automatically rest, but this will be disturbed not long after. What’s going on? Exit this room to find out what. Hmm, so they’re being controlled... After the scene you will be back at the Inn. To continue, examine the clock on the left wall and that will break the mind control. After, exit the Inn. You will meet Walt, the third member of the Four Stars. You won’t have to fight him, luckily. After he’s gone and you’re back in control, continue following the southern path to the Etoray Bridge. Once again, you will have to fight the Dark Wings. However, you won’t be alone this time. Their stats are the same, so just scroll up if you can’t remember what they are. Maaan I can’t believe they blew out the bridge. It’s never that easy! We’re going to have to go back to the Keketto Hostel. Behind it there will be a small bridge. Cross it, and towards the SW will be a mountain, our next destination. =============================================================================== Alvan Mountains [ToR1C] =============================================================================== o~~Item Checklist: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~o | Red Refine Stone Peach Gummy x2 | | Beef x2 Life Bottle x2 | | Lettuce Bread | | 500 Gald | o~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~o Head inside, and after the first random encounter this notice will pop up: "The Viruses in this area fortify their defenses after particular attacks. Look at how the enemy attacks and think about how to time the counterattack. Attacking an enemy in a defensive position reduces the damage dealt to 1/4. Take care not to attack recklessly and to avoid counterattacks." -lanyn’s translation guide. Keep that in mind as you head up. As you approach the ledge another scene will happen. You will now be able to jump ledges by using the CIRCLE button. Best to do a bit of a jump start. Anyway head up to the top until another scene plays out, enabling you to use Veigue’s Force by using the SQUARE button. However, don’t use his Force to take the upper path just quite yet. First jump down from there and follow the path to the next screen to obtain a PEACH GUMMY. Then, return to the previous screen and take the path below that one which will lead to a chest with a LIFE BOTTLE. Now return to the previous screen and this time take the highest up path to the next screen. In here, jump down to get to a chest with a LIFE BOTTLE. Then, return to that spot and use Veigue’s Force to jump up. The chest here will have 500 Gald. Alright! Now continue jumping up to the next platform, but before jumping up the next one, jump down and grab the PEACH GUMMY that’s in the next screen. Now return to take the upper path and there will be a scene. After it, enter the cabin here to take a break. After the scenes you will now be able to Enhance your weapons! Basically, after battle you get some enhance points which you can attribute to your weapons and armor. Items can’t hold more than 200 points at a time, so don’t forget to use them up! Examine the bag here as well, and you will learn how to make HAMBURGERS! Anyway, use the Save Spot if you want, before exiting out of here. Continue on to the left, and approach the snow block. After the scene, you will be able to use Mao’s Force, using the SQUARE button as well. Make your way down this screen, and at the button melt the blocks on your way before continuing to the next screen. Climb down the trunk here and jump to the next ledge. Here, only melt one block, so you can jump on the remaining one to get to the next ledge. Be careful not to climb down the icy path, as you will slide. Instead head down the "stairs" so you can jump towards the chest with a RED REFINE STONE. Now, if you want you can head down the slide (like I did), or you can take the path by the "stairs" on the right. Either way will ultimately take you to the same place. Anyway, after heading down the slide, melt the two blocks and some BEEF from the chest there. A scene will now trigger, which will basically inform you of how to get back to the beginning. By melting only one of the blocks on the right you can jump up there and make your way back. But obviously, don’t do that. Instead, head down the stairs to get the four chests at the bottom. One of them will be slightly hidden by the trees on the right. It will contain a SAGE herb. The other thee chests contain some LETTUCE, BREAD, and more BEEF. The peddler here will sell you gummies and life bottles, along with a whole lot of food. Now, before heading towards the exit of this dungeon make sure your HP is up because as you try to exit, it’ll be Boss Battle time. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- BOSS: Leg Tight HP: 8000 Weak: Water Strong: Fire My Level: 9 This guy has a bit more HP than the guys you’ve face before, but don’t worry. Between the three of you, he stands no chance! During this battle, have Veigue and Eugene corner him, while Mao spell casts in the background. Make sure Mao isn’t using any fire spells as that will be not be useful. After defeating him, you will receive a Life Bottle and a Protect Topaz ring for your efforts, along 303 EXP and 525 Gald. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- After, finally head out of this place. Once you are back in the World Map, follow the eastern path. You will notice that it will start raining as you continue... So will your party. After the scene you will end up in the "Minal Plain" which is a one-time-only area. =============================================================================== Minal Plains [ToR1D] =============================================================================== This is a rather unique place, and as I said before, it’s a one-time only area. You will never be able to come back here after we’re finished with this place. In any case, just continue heading east until a scene triggers. It will begin raining harder, and then it will begin to snow. Odd. Now continue heading east and you will notice that something doesn’t seem quite right... Isn’t that the icicle Veigue made earlier? Examine it and another scene will trigger. After, head east one more time and SAVE at the Spot before using Mao’s Force on the icicle. This will trigger another scene, and subsequently, it will be Boss Battle time. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- BOSS: Annie HP: 926 My level: 10 Annie is the least of your problems here, but do get rid of her first before targeting the three mercenaries that accompany her. Each mercenary will have 3000 HP. There’s not much strategy to use here. Just hit away until they're down. You will receive 460 EXP and 720 Gald for your efforts. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- After the scenes, continue heading down the road until you arrive at Minal. =============================================================================== Minal [ToR1E] =============================================================================== Soon after you arrive you will meet a young Gajuma named Misha. He will bring you to Dr. Curia who will tend to Annie’s injuries. Afterward, you’ll be automatically transported outside of the Inn. From here head, enter the house on the left with the green roof. Inheriting will become available at this point. Now, upgrade your Weapons and Armor from the Gajumas at the top right, and stock up on items from the Gajuma on the bottom left. Also, make sure to buy a Lucky Cat/Manekineko from here as well, as it will be useful later on. Now exit this place and head down the slope to the next screen. There building here will be a Bar, but we’ll visit this place later so head to the left once more. Enter the house in this screen and check the bag at the right to learn the SANDWICH recipe. Then exit, and head to the Harbor by taking the upper path. Approach the soldiers here for a scene. After, return to the previous screen, and after the scene, approach the guy carrying the heavy box. At this point you will have two choices to take. Do you go in Tomichi’s boat, or do you sneak into the Harbor by carrying that box? The latter is easier, but while the former requires you to pay 1000 Gald (don’t worry, you get it back) you also have more chances to train. Personally, I shall cover Tomichi’s boat, since carrying the box is already transcripted by lanyn’s Translation Guide (and Spekio’s), as well as Kouli’s walkthrough. Now head to the first screen out of town to speak to Tomichi. Pay him and you will end up at the beach. The little rat will try to attack you then, but luckily, Veigue’s reflexes are as sharp as ever. After some more talking, your party will have to fight against three Sailors, each having 2750 HP. After the fight Tomichi will try begging for your forgiveness and he will return your money. Afterward you will end back in Minal. Head to the middle of town (the screen before the Harbor) and a scene will trigger. Claire was in this town?! After the scene, follow Misha back to the Inn and head downstairs. Enter the door in the back to meet with Dr. Curia once more. After some talking, Annie will finally wake up. However, her careless words will hurt Misha, whose Force will run out of control! We’re going to have to search for him and hope he’s okay. Exit the Inn and head to the middle of town for more scenes. We’ll see Dr. Curia here again. Afterward, return to the previous screen and take the path to the lower left. Misha will be here, but he will run off. So we’ll have to return to the first screen of the town and talk to Dr. Curia there. Click on the first option that pops up to follow after Misha. A small fight will then ensue, and Annie will join to help! Afterward, head back inside the Inn and downstairs again. More scenes, and after leaving the Inn, Annie will join your party. At this point, a couple more sidequests will open up. And let’s finish exploring this town while we’re at it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *MINIGAME #1 ALERT* If you enter the bar and talk to the waiter in the middle you’ll be able to participate in the Waiter/Waitress minigame. The objective is to get the drinks to your customers without spilling. If you run too fast, or for too long, you will trip and the drink will spill. Later on, there will be people walking around and you have to make sure not to bump into them on your way to your customer. There will be a timer at the top too, so you’ll have to do this fairly quickly, but don’t be too nervous. You’ll only lose some Gald if you go over the time, but you will still get your titles. This is a nice way to earn money if you get used to it. You’ll have to do this with every single one of your characters to get their "Nice Waiter/Waitress" title. However, since you are still missing two members, you’ll have to come back later to complete this. In addition to getting everyone a title, once you have completed this with everyone, you will get a recipe out of it. Veigue: "Nice Waiter" +2 HP Recovery bonus. Mao: "Nice Waiter" +2 Skill Defense Power bonus. Eugene: "Nice Waiter" +3 Slash Attack Power bonus. Annie: "Nice Waitress" +2 Thrust Defense Power bonus. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *SIDEQUEST #2* Mobile Library, Part 1 of 18 *SIDEQUEST #3* Completion Old Man, Part 1 of 16 So, from the middle of town, take the upper left exit which we have been ignoring until now. In this new screen, we can continue forward into the Library, or we can head down the stairs on the right to get to the Gymnasium. Head to the Gymnasium first. Talking to the old man inside will begin the Completion Old Man quest. Basically, he will give you items depending on how many enemies are registered in your Battle Book. For example, having 5 entries will get you some Step Boots, and so on. Here’s the list of it: -05 Entries: Step Boots -10 Entries: Majin Spirit Talisman(Zehhyoujin -> Majinken) -20 Entries: Apple Gumi -30 Entries: Fuujin Spirit Talisman(Shunrenjin -> Fuujinken) -40 Entries: Recovery Refine Stone -50 Entries: Peach Gummy -60 Entries: Chamomile -70 Entries: Mouko Spirit Talisman (Reppashou -> Kogahazan) -80 Entries: Grape Gummy -90 Entries: Lavender -100 Entries: Senkou Spirit Talisman (Zesshouzan -> Senkoushou) -110 Entries: Switch Gumi -120 Entries: Kuushin Spirit Talisman (Genryuuzan -> Kuushuuken) -130 Entries: Sage -140 Entries: Awakening Refine Stone -150 Entries: Hyouma Spirit Talisman (Mueishou -> Muhyoushou) -Once you have completed all the entries, you will receive the "Battle Master" title for your whole party Throughout the FAQ, I will remind you to come pick up new items from him from time to time. Anyway, after we’re done talking to him, head to the Library. Once in here, the first thing you should do is talk to the brown-haired woman standing here. Chose the third option when prompted and you will get some new titles. Veigue: "Free Youth" +2 FG Recovery bonus Mao: "Free Boy" +2 HP Recovery bonus Eugene: "Free Middle-Aged Man" +2 FG Recovery bonus Annie: "Free Girl" +10 HP After, head up the stairs and talk to the purple man here. Remember him as we will be talking to him veeery often throughout the game. This starts the Mobile Library Quest. Anyway, when prompted, chose the first option and you will receive the LIBRARY CARD. After, head out of here and head back to the Gymnasium. Talk to the guy behind the counter dressed in blue and he will give you back the library book. Now return to the library and speak to the library (purple guy) and we’ll be done here... for now. The last thing worth mentioning would be that as you approach the first screen of Minal you’ll see a guy with a cowboy hat standing there. He will be your most useful source of transportation in the beginning of the game. Paying him 300 Gald will allow him to take you anywhere you will like. You should probably learn to recognize the katakana of every town’s name, to use this effectively. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- With all this done, finally head out of Minal. Once you are back at the World Map, Follow the path to the SW across a bridge and then continue following it until you arrive at the Forest Labyrinth. =============================================================================== Forest Labyrinth [ToR1F] =============================================================================== o~~Item Checklist: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~o | Life Bottle x3 Bread | | Peach Gummy Resist Pearl (ring) | | Lavander Chamomile | | Milk Carrots | | Potatoes 765 Gald | o~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~o After your first random encounter, this message will pop up. "The viruses in this area automatically defend when their ally's Rush Gauge (RG) falls below a certain level. Choose a strategy which is difficult to defend against such as performing Rush Charges or cooperating with your allies when attacking. Also, there are cooking recipes that will raise your RG at the beginning of battle, so use them wisely." -lanyn’s translation guide Anyway, once you enter the forest go towards the left until you get a scene. Annie will get the title "Aspiring Female Doctor" which has a +2 FG Recovery bonus. Now that you are back in control, go down the hidden path you just uncovered. (If you keep taking the left path you will be in a continuous loop.) The next screen looks a little confusing but it’s not really. Go down a bit to hit a scene where Mao will scare Annie, only to fall down a small cliff. After he gets back up and you are in control head up and into the next screen. In this third screen, jump down once and head to the left to get a treasure chest with a LIFE BOTTLE. Then go back to the right to jump down the ledge. Head back to the right screen and head towards the chest, but be careful not to be on the edge or you will fall. The chest contains a LIFE BOTTLE. Head back to the left screen again. Here, jump all the way down towards a chest that contains BREAD. Now there multiple ways to take, but you’ll ultimately end up in the same place. For best results, jump down on to the ledge that’s right under the chest where you got the Bread and go up a little before taking the first path to the right. You’ll end up near a save point and a chest containing a PEACH GUMMY. Go down the stairs and towards right to enter a new screen. You’ll see a bunch of chests here but you can only open three of them. They contain a RESIST PEARL ring, a LAVENDER herb, and a CHAMOMILE flower. Go back to the left screen and this time head south. You’ll see four more chests here, but again, you can only get to three of them. These contain MILK, CARROTS, and POTATOES. Now head to the right to get that chest you missed before to obtain 765 GALD. Return to the screen with the save point and go to the left, you’ll be back in the third screen. In here go up and take the first path to the right again, but this time don’t had to the next screen. Instead jump down the ledge and head to the right. You’ll be back in the screen with the save point, however you will come out of a cave and be able to enter a new path. With that said, go south to return to a familiar screen. Head down the little hill to get to that last treasure chest and you’ll receive another LIFE BOTTLE. Then, go up the hill and head to the left for a Boss Battle. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- BOSS: Grand Pascu My level: 17 You’ll face off with against a Grand Pascu and two Perky’s. Naturally, take the twigs out of the way first before attacking the Pascu. Mao’s Flare Shot is really useful in this battle. It’s not too hard a battle, just beware of Pascu’s jumps and heal when necessary. You’ll receive a Poison Charm and a Magical Pearl for your efforts. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Now exit out of the forest (finally!). On the way there will be a scene, and Annie will receive the title "Scaredy Cat" that has a +2 Magic Defense bonus. Also, a notice will pop up, alerting you that Skills (Ougis) are now available from the menu. We’re back in the World Map! The walk to Petnadjanka is quite short so just follow the path and enter the town. =============================================================================== Petnadjanka [ToR1G] =============================================================================== After the scene, head into the first house you see and check the crate inside to learn how to make FRUIT PUNCH. Exit the house and head north into the next screen. You’ll be in the center of the town and a scene will immediately play out. There is an Inn here, with a Food Store and a Save Point inside. You can pick up some fruits for your Fruit Punch there if you want, and if you sleep at the Inn you’ll trigger a skit of Veigue brooding over Claire once again. If you head west of the fountain you’ll find an Equipment Store, so feel free to get some upgrades. Anyway after the scene by the fountain is done head up the stairs in the back and a couple more scenes will play out. Afterward, head towards the factory in the back. =============================================================================== The Factory [ToR1H] =============================================================================== o~~Item Checklist: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~o | Peach Gummy 1500 Gald | | Life Bottle x2 Poison Charm (storyline) | | Bananas Kiwi | | Panacea Bottle Coal (storyline) | | Jutsu Refine Stone Syrup Bottle | | Apple Gummy | o~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~o The first thing you should do once in here is check the lockers to the right to find a PEACH GUMMY. Then head towards the left and as soon as you enter this room check the drawers to get 1500 GALD. The chest near the Save Point contains a LIFE BOTTLE. Head back to the room with the lockers, and this time take the northern path. Ignore the door to the right and talk to the man near the tree. You’ll receive a POISON CHARM from him, which you should equip since the monsters in this area are poisonous. Now go back to that door you passed before and enter. In this area you’ll need to burn the flowers in your way with Mao’s fire (If you forgot how to: Hit the SQUARE button). There is a chest in this area, but unfortunately, you can’t get to it yet. Burn the flower in front of the ladder and climb up. Head towards the left and hit the lever to open up a path towards the next screen. In this screen there is a huge flower in the middle which you need to examine. But first go down the ladder and examine the crates there to receive some BANANAS. Anyway, head back up to the big flower and examine it. Mao will try to burn it, but nothing will happen. Veigue will freeze it then, but that’ll only last for a little bit so quickly head to the right and burn the small blue flower before the big one unfreezes. You’ll have to do this again with the one on the left. Burn the small pink flower as well and enter the doorway that you freed up. There’ll be two treasure chests here, containing a KIWI fruit and a PANACEA BOTTLE. Also, examine the sacks to obtain COAL. Now return to the previous screen and go down the rightmost path. Head down the bridge and towards the furnace in the back. Examine it and say YES when prompted. Mao will use the Coal and light up the furnace with his Force and the huge flower will finally burn. Go back to the previous screen and take the middle path this time. You’ll finally be able to get rid of that last blue flower. Now hit the lever toactivate the conveyor belt. You’ll have to go around again to reach it. Before leaving to the next screen however, under the furnace there is a path you can take. There’s a treasure chest there with a JUTSU REFINE STONE. Return to the previous screen and finally take the ladder up and go down the conveyor belt. Finally, a new area. Burn all the flowers in your way, and don’t forget to pick up that chest at the bottom left corner to get a LIFE BOTTLE. Also examine the barrels next to the chest to obtain a SYRUP BOTTLE. Don’t forget to burn the tiny little orange flower at the bottom near the conveyor belt. Now hit the lever to activate the belt. Before getting on it, head up and to the right to obtain an APPLE GUMMY. Finally take the belt to the next screen, and again burn all the flowers. Once you burn the peach-colored flower at the bottom, two paths will open up. You can either head up to exit the dungeon and stock up on items if needed or you can just continue forward. The next screen is Boss Battle time. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- BOSS: Tytree My level: 19 Although Tytree doesn’t hit very hard, he is EFFING fast, so watch out. Just keep hitting him until finally Mao and Eugene will perform their Hi-Ougi, Inferno Drive, and finish the battle. Sadly, you don’t get any item drops this time around. Boohoo. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- However, after the battle is done, you gain a new companion! Yay! ^^ Now head out of the factory, watch some scenes, and exit the town. Our next destination is Sannytown, although to get there you first have to head SE towards Toyohose Hostel. The path there is pretty direct, you can’t miss it. =============================================================================== Toyohose Hostel [ToR1I] =============================================================================== Well, the boats we were planning to take were wrecked by a sudden storm (*coughs* Saleh >.>), so we have to go collect some wood. Alright, well after the scene ends, head over to the right and into a new screen. After enduring a kind of amusing pun by Mao, you’ll have to collect some mushrooms along with the wood. Once you’ve collected enough, Veigue will speak up and you’ll be allowed to leave this screen. However, right before you can leave you’ll hear Tytree yell. Veigue will run back to catch Tytree talking a mysterious man, who tries to persuade him to poison your party in exchange of his sister. Dun dun dun! After the mysterious man jumps off the cliff, hopefully to his death, Veigue will hand over the mushrooms to Tytree, and the wood to Eugene. If you picked up any mushrooms with white spots, Tytree will tell you that they are poisonous, although not lethally so, as they are "Laughing Mushrooms". However if you did not pick any of those up, he will be impressed with you! This doesn’t affect your game in any other way though. Return to the Hostel to hand over the wood to Gugura-san. Hopefully they’ll be quick with the repairs. In any case, it’s time to eat. You’ll be automatically taken inside of the house, where Veigue will begin to panic over the food and refuse to eat it. The meal will be interrupted by a commotion outside however. Gugura-san is in danger! Head outside to sadly enough, find that the mysterious guy is alive and well. This time, he’ll be backed up by two pirate-bandit-looking guys. Once they see you though, they’ll run off to the forest. Let’s follow them and kick their asses! Before the battle starts, you’ll find out that your food was poisoned, so almost all your party will be affected by its laughing powers throughout the entire battle, which makes for a hilarious sight. Speaking of which, the battle is piece of cake and not worth noting anything special. As usual, get rid of the underlings first before tackling the big guy. Conveniently enough, you’ll receive a PANACEA BOTTLE for your efforts. After the battle, you’ll be reassured that Tytree is a good guy after all, although not quite bright. While he did throw away the poison he received before, you find out that the white-spotted mushrooms are actually not poisonous at all. In fact, the plain mushrooms are the poisonous ones! Tytree did not mean to intentionally poison everyone, so he’ll be forgiven... this time. ^^ He’ll also receive the title "XX Chef" which has a +2 Skill Attack Power bonus. After all of that, you’ll be back at the house. Gugura-san’s apprentice will come in to tell you the reparations are complete. Head outside and talk to Gugura-san who’s standing by the pier. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *MINIGAME #2 ALERT* You’ll be introduced to Mini Rafting here. The objective is to avoid any logs, rocks, and enemies on your way to the goal. Every time you hit any obstacles or enemies you will lose 1 HP, so be careful! If you lose all your health, you’ll have to try again. The first time is an exception though. You can use the CIRCLE button to throw fruit at your enemies once you have some, and use X to jump. You can only move left and right. This game is really fast so be careful! There’ll be a couple of items in the water you can pick up, although not all of them are good for you. You’ll want to pick up as many Fish as you can as they increase you score. The Swim Rings recover 1 HP (Max HP is 5) and the Oars speed up your movement. Avoid the Bubbles, which will prevent you from jumping. If you do manage to touch one however you can easily destroy it by throwing fruit at it. Each Fruit you pick up serves for 5 throws. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you want to get to Sannytown you have no choice but to participate. Near the end of the minigame a skit will come up alerting your arrival. Veigue will receive the "Rafting Man" title which has a very nice +20 HP bonus. If you beat the game with a score of at least 100,000 you’ll receive his "S Rafting Man" title, which has a much nicer +70 HP bonus. You’ll need to do it for all four different routes though so make sure to come back for it later. =============================================================================== Sannytown [ToR1J] =============================================================================== Time to explore the new town! As soon as you arrive, head up the slope and hit the town. The yellow building on the left is the Item/Equipment Store so feel free to upgrade and stock up on anything you need. The green building is the Inn/Food Store. Enter it and head up the stairs to examine the pot of food. You will learn how to make RISOTTO. Yum! This town is pretty big, so feel free to explore it on your own. However do head down from this screen, past the gardener, and enter the first house you see. It’llbe yellow and inside there’ll be an old man with a lot of cats. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *SIDEQUEST #4* The Cat Loving Old Man Basically, this old man will give you information on where to find Discovery Spots (green circles that will appear on the World Map). After you have found a certain amount of Spots, he’ll give you some titles, but you’ll need to give him the BECKONING CAT item first, which you can buy at the Item Store in Minal. There’s 64 Discoveries in total, and you won’t be able to finish this quest until near the end of the game. Throughout this walkthrough, I’ll point out where to find plenty of these DISCOVERY SPOTS, but I most likely won’t cover them all. You can get the following titles from him: -After talking to him once, you’ll receive the "Traveler" title. Veigue: +2 Thrust Defense Power Mao: +2 FG Regeneration Eugene: +2 Thrust Defense Power Annie: +2 Thrust Attack Power Tytree: +2 Skill Attack Power Hilda: +2 Skill Defense Power -Once you found all 7 Slates of the 7 Holy Beasts, everyone will receive their "Seven-Star Formation Discovery" title. -After making at least 30 Discoveries, the "Adventurer" title. -After making at least 40 Discoveries, the "Great Adventurer" title. -After making at least 50 Discoveries, the "Unspeakable Adventurer" title. -After making all 64 Discoveries, the "World-Amazed Mysterious Discovery" title. For more information, please refer to lanyn’s Battle Mechanics/Subquest FAQ. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To continue with the storyline, head to the right of the screen with the Inn/Stores. Walk towards the soldier that’s blocking the port to trigger a scene. Once again, you will be denied your boating rights. Guess we’ll keep on walking then. Head back to the center of the town and a woman will stop you. Her daughter Hilda has also been kidnapped, and not too long ago. Looks like Saleh and Tohma left west from here, to the Tel Alla Hostel, so let’s catch up to them quickly! Exit the town using the southward exit, which is by the Cat Loving Old Man’s House. We’re back on the World Map. Before following the Western path, first head in the SE direction and enter the Farm Fresh Groceries. =============================================================================== Farm Fresh Groceries [ToR1K] =============================================================================== There’s not much to do here. If you speak to the girl in the middle you’ll receive a MAGICAL POT. You’ll have to raise its level to obtain some recipes from the girl on the left. Throughout the world there will be many FFG locations. You know those Food Tickets we’ve been collecting? Once you have collected 54 of them, speak to the girl in the middle and give them all toh. Afterwards, you’ll have to waste some money here to raise your Magical Pot Level. You will receive the following recipes for doing so: Fried Chicken (Level 6+) Vegetable Salad (Level 12+) Seafood Gratin (Level 18+) Mabo Curry (Level 24) There’s nothing else to do here so head out and follow the path towards the Tel Alla Hostel. Not too far from Sannytown, if you look towards the Southward direction on your compass, you’ll spot a treasure chest with a BANANA TICKET. Return to the path and follow it until soon enough you’ll spot the Tel Alla Hostel, hidden by a couple of trees. I highly recommend you have Annie in your party. Also, save before entering. =============================================================================== Tel Alla Hostel [ToR1L] =============================================================================== You’ll meet Hilda almost immediately. Looks like she was able to escape thanks to Claire and Selena, although Tohma’s right on her trail. Head outside the Hostel to confront them and you’ll find out that Hilda’s a stinking liar. You’ll be thrown into combat. Boss Battle time. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- BOSS: Hilda HP: 4420 My level: 20 Not one of the toughest battles, thankfully. You’ll be facing off against Hilda and three other soldiers. Getting rid of the underlings won’t take too long, so target them first as usual, before focusing your attack on Hilda. She’s a magic user, so once you start your attack on her, she won’t be able to retaliate much, if at all. When you lower her HP down to the 2000’s the battle will be stopped by Tohma. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- And it will be revealed that Hilda is a “Half”, the child of a Human and a Gajuma. Ummm, yeah. Looks like she was deceived by Tohma as well, and she’s not taking it well. Tomah will run off and leave you with an enraged Hilda to battle with. Again. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- BOSS: Hilda (Berserk Mode) HP: 4420 My level: 20 Things are a little tougher now, but thankfully you only have to battle Hilda this time around. Sadly, even if you blitz her, she won’t stagger and her magic attacks are damned strong, so watch out and heal when needed. When you get her HP down to around 450 Annie and Veigue will end the fight with their Hi-Ougi, Ryuuko Metsugazan. If Annie isn’t in your party however, you will have to beat her thoroughly. Once again, no item drops, so you’ll have to content yourself with the 1213 EXP instead. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Looks like Hilda pulled an Annie on us. Let’s head back to Sannytown and get her to a doctor quickly. Just in case you forgot, you’ll have to follow the path back in the NE direction. =============================================================================== Sannytown [ToR1M] =============================================================================== Once in Sannytown, head to the Inn and enter the room at the bottom for another scene. Ridiculously enough, yet another Force user decides to appear out of nowhere once again. Head outside to meet up with your next boss. Once outside the Inn another scene will play out. You’ll be introduced with another Half by the name of Milista. She is one of the Four Stars... uh-oh. She’ll knock your party out for a couple of seconds to chase after her Huma prey who ran away during the commotion. Once you are back in control, heal, stock up on items, save, and follow after her to the next screen. It’s Boss Battle time. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- BOSS: Milista Clones HP: 613 each My level: 21 Well, actually. Not really. You’ll be fighting a couple of her clones, whom all have generally low HP. Just attack them until the battle finally ends. You won’t get anything out of this battle. Not even experience. Ugh. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- After the scene, head back to the Inn to find more clones will be blocking the way. Watch Mao and Veigue’s awesome ass-kicking combination at work. Milista will run off after this, so it’s our job to chase her. If you haven’t saved yet I suggest you do it now. This time, it really is Boss Battle time. Head up the stairs and into the next screen. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- BOSS: Milista HP: 12260 My level: 21 Milista will be backed up by her never-ending clones in this battle, but just ignore them and focus on the real thing. She’ll teleport across the screen from time to time, so keep make sure you’re hitting her and not her clones. Her clones always have less HP than her, so it’s not hard to tell who’s who. Just watch out for her Spectral Field attack as that tends to throw you back. You’ll receive a Peach Gummy and a Soul Card for your efforts, along with 1500 Gald and 1393 EXP. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Well, with that done, Hilda will join your party. You will now be able to perform Hi-Ougis. By now you have already seen two of them at work, Veigue’s & Annie’s “Dragon Tiger Destroy Fang Slash”, and Mao’s & Eugene’s “Inferno Drive”. Tytree & Hilda will now be able to perform their “Thousand Braver”. Here are the rest of the combinations you will now be able to perform: Veigue’s & Mao’s “Embrace End” and Veigue’s & Hilda’s “Celsius Caliber”. Eugene’s & Annie’s “Soar Break Split Light Flash” and Eugene’s & Hilda’s “Duel the Sun” Tytree’s & Mao’s “Crimson Sky Soar” and Tytree’s and Annie’s “Infinitia Strike” You’ll also obtain the Collector’s Book. Now let’s go look for the girl Milista was chasing earlier. From where you are right now, climb down the stairs on your right, then head two screens down. Enter the yellow house at the corner and examine the shivering blanket in the first floor to find Susie. A couple of scenes will play out, and you’ll find out a little of what the Queen wants with the kidnapped Huma girls. Susie gives you more questions than answers unfortunately. Oh well. Looks like there’s another commotion west of where you are, so go there now. A soldier will be addressing the town about the upcoming Crowning Ceremony. Looks like out next destination is Babilograd, however to get there we’re going to have to cross the Kurodadaku Desert. As you try to leave town, Veigue will think about Claire, and actually, the game’s POV will change over to Claire. Not much to do here except talk to everyone. You’ll be back to controlling Veigue in no time. So now that we’re back in the World Map again, there are a couple of things to do before heading off to the desert. Let’s return to Sannytown to get started. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *SIDEQUEST #2* Mobile Library, Part 2 of 18 *SIDEQUEST #3* Completion Old Man, Part 2 of 16 First of all, we have to go back to Minal. The best way to do this is by talking to the cowboy-looking man by the northern entrance. It’ll cost you 300 Gald, but it saves you the walk back. Once in Minal, there are a couple things to do here before heading to the library. First, if you didn’t buy the BECKONING CAT item before, you should do so now so you can give it to the Cat Loving Old Man. After, head to the bar to play the Waiter Minigame with Hilda and Tytree. You should have already played this with Annie, Eugene, Mao, and Veigue, and if you haven’t yet, get to it. Once you have done it successfully with all of your characters you’ll receive the GORGEOUS SALAD recipe. Tytree’s “Nice Waiter” title has a +2 Slash Defense Power bonus, while Hilda’s “Nice Waitress” title has a +20 HP bonus. Next, head down to the Gymnasium and talk to the Completion Old Man. You should get the MAJIN SPIRIT TALISMAN from him, which if you equip on Veigue, will allow his skill Zehhyoujin to become Majinken. Lastly, head to the library to continue the Mobile Library quest. Just like before, talk to the guy upstairs and he’ll tell you the location of the next book. Let’s head back to Sannytown. Return to the house where you found Susie (if you forgot where that was already, from the center of the town, head right, then down a screen). Enter the yellow house and head up the stairs to talk to a bird-type woman on the second floor. After obtaining the book you’ll have to return to Minal to hand it off. You won’t get anything out of this again, but don’t worry this quest will eventually pay off. Oh yeah, one last thing. Talk to the woman on the first floor to receive some more titles. Tytree will get the “Free Rascal” title that has a +10 HP bonus, and Hilda will get the “Free Older Sister” title that has a +2 HP Regeneration bonus. Now let’s return to Sannytown one last time, and get on with the storyline. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Alright it’s time to head over to the Kurodadaku desert. Follow the main road which you took to the Tel Alla Hostel before, but this time keep going until you hit the desert. A scene will trigger as soon as you do. Tytree will complain about the heat and eventually fall into a hole. How clumsy. Thankfully there seems to be a body of water at the bottom that softened his fall. Let’s head down to meet him. After the scene you find out that you’ve stumbled across a walkway towards civilization! Looks like we don’t have to cross the desert after all. =============================================================================== Karez [ToR1N] =============================================================================== o~~Item Checklist: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~o | Saffron Peach Gummy | | Life Bottle Recovery Refine Stone | | Blue Liquid Savory | | Panacea Bottle Delay Charm | | 1500 Gald x2 Rosemary | | Bellebane | o~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~o So, after the scene ends, you’ll be able to walk around. Take a minute to listen to the skits. One of them will get you Eugene’s “Dandy” title that has a +3 HP Regeneration bonus. Walk towards the next screen and follow the long walkway until you hit a fork. There’s nothing up there so head down to examine the rock and a small scene will ensue. You’ll finally be able to use Eugene’s Force outside of battle! I was always curious about what his would do. Anyway, you’ll have to fight against some enemies but it’s nothing hard. Note that when using Eugene’s Force, the longer you hold the SQUARE button down, the more destructive his power will be. Use it with caution. When you are back in control, destroy the next rock in your path and continue to head down towards the next screen. You’ll end up in a circular screen with a well in the middle. Take the southwestern exit and follow along the path until you come across some thorny vines. Examine it to receive a SAFFRON herb. Head back to the room with well. This time take the upper left path. Continue heading up until you see a water-spurting hole. Just wait for it die down and pass by it quickly, heading to the left. There’ll be another water-spurting hole waiting for you. Once that one quiets down, head southeast of it for a treasure chest containing PEACH GUMMY. Backtrack to the hole and this time, continue on to the left. At the next hole, head down once more to get a LIFE BOTTLE. Finally, backtrack to the hole one last time and continue on to the left onto the next screen. Another scene will play out then. Once you can move again, you’ll be back in the desert. Examine the treasure chest above to get a RECOVERY REFINE STONE. Take advantage of the saving spot before heading down the ladder once more. Don’t ask me how the heck you can get into a battle while climbing that ladder, because I don’t get it either. Alright, once you’re back down there are two paths you can take. First take the southwest exit. Destroy the rock in your way and follow along the path until the next screen. There will be a chest with BLUE LIQUID inside. Don’t bother to head up as you’ll hit a dead end. Backtrack all the way back to the room with the ladder, and this time take the right path. Make your way across carefully to the next screen. If you get thrown down by the water, you’ll end up in that dead end I mentioned earlier and will have to backtrack once again. The next screen will have another well in the middle. Take the northeastern path first and you’ll be able to examine that thorny plant again. This time you will receive a SAVORY herb. Return to the previous screen and head south this time. Before taking the SE path down, don’t forget to grab the treasure chest on the left which has a PANACEA BOTTLE. Follow the path to the next screen, and you’ll end up in another circular room. Head up to grab a DELAY CHARM from a treasure chest. Return to the previous room and take the SW path until you meet a fork. Well not really. There’s only one way you can go. Follow the northwestern path to the next screen. In the next room you will see a ladder.Climb up to find another ladder up ahead. Climb down to open up a chest with 1500 GALD. Additionally, take the SE path and examine the thorny vines to pick up a ROSEMARY herb. Backtrack to the room with the first ladder. Head up until you see another one of those thorny plants. Examine it to get a BELLEBANE herb. Finally, just head up from here to the next screen and you’ll see the final ladder. Climb up and we’ll finally be out of this dungeon. Watch the scene play out. Annie will collapse with a fever and be removed from your battle party. Rearrange your party if needed and let’s head out of here. Our destination is Anikamal, which is south from Karez. Before heading out, don’t forget to pick up 1500 GALD from the treasure chest above. Once you’re in the World Map you’ll be able to immediately spot Anikamal. Head quickly there and try not to get into battle as the monsters here might be a bit too strong for you. There are two treasure chest containing PORK TICKETS to the east and west of Anikamal, so pick them up when you can. =============================================================================== Anikamal [ToR1O] =============================================================================== We need to find a doctor. After the scene, exit the room and talk to the Inn keeper, who really won’t be any help. Whatever. Head outside and enter the only other house here. Examine the pot in the middle of the room to learn the CURRY RICE recipe. Head back outside and talk to the Gajuma woman wearing orange clothes to trigger a scene. Tch. Looks like she’s not any help either. Once the scene ends walk to the upper right to enter a new screen. Talk to the bear-like Gajuma to upgrade your equipment if needed as well as to stock up on items. Once done, talk to the fishing man to trigger another scene. Man the people of this town are @$$holes. Continue on to the right and finally you’ll find someone helpful. You’ll have to go back to the Inn now. However before entering Annie’s room you’ll notice that a peddler is now standing by the saving point. Sadly he doesn’t sell items, but he does sell some nice accessories. Take advantage of it if you have the money. Anyway, let’s head to Annie’s room. Okay bad news, Annie’s contracted a fatal disease which is supposedly incurable. Well...crap. To top it off you’ll be kicked out of the Inn and subsequently, the village. Wtf. You’re going to have to head back to Frantz’s tent for now. After a scene the party will decide to go to the Oasis, hoping to find a cure for Annie’s disease. Leave town and walk towards the NE direction. There’s a chest around here with a CARROT TICKET. Also, there is another Farm Fresh Groceries location around that you can visit if you want. Nearby it, hidden by some of the trees, will be another chest with a CARROT TICKET. =============================================================================== Oasis [ToR1P] =============================================================================== o~~Item Checklist: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~o | 2000 Gald Chicken | | Apple Gummy Life Bottle | | Sage Fight Pearl (ring) | | Pork Awakening Refine Stone | o~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~o First of all, I hope you guys have been training because from here on out, the monsters get a little tougher. I suggest you all to be in level 27 if you’re the type that likes to button smash. With that said, this place is, awesomely enough, quite short. Alrighty. First let’s head to the right to pick up some items. A treasure chest with 2000 GALD is hiding inside of that tree trunk, so get it and return to the previous screen. Next take the northwestern path and follow it until you are at a clearing with a river. A treasure chest containing some CHICKEN will be hidden by the tree’s foliage. Back track to the first screen and finally take the northeastern path into the tree trunk. You will see a couple of purple horses walking around the screen in this area. Before you head towards them, look behind the big tree and you should find a treasure chest with an APPLE GUMMY hiding behind. You can try to avoid the purple horses if you want, but I recommend you fight them. If you’ve trained you should have no trouble beating them. If you haven’t trained... get to it! Don’t head to the next screen yet. First check out the tree trunk on the top that has an entrance. Enter it to get a LIFE BOTTLE, a SAGE herb, and a FIGHT PEARL. Exit the tree, fight the purple horses, and head right to the next screen. More purple horses. They’re kind of disturbing-looking aren’t they? In any case get rid of them and head towards that treasure chest at the top right of the screen, which has some PORK. Follow the path to the left and cross the wooden bridge to the next screen. Alright, there’s a treasure chest here that’s a little hard to see, but it contains a AWAKENING REFINE STONE. Take out the four purple horses in your way to get to it and it’ll be Boss Battle time. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- BOSS: Live Garo HP: 12741 My level: 27 The Live Garo will be backed up by two of those creepy purple horses. I’d personally love to get those out of the way first, however the Live Garo will run away if you don’t defeat it fast enough. And by fast enough I mean 30 seconds. There’s a timer on the top of the battle screen that you might not notice. Keep an eye on it as you charge at the golden horse. Thankfully, even though it runs away, the damage you deal it will stay the same. You’ll receive a Lemon Gummy and a Charge Pearl for your efforts, along with 4012 Gald and 2557 EXP. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- You’ll also obtain Live Garo’s Horn. We’re going to have to head back to Anikamal to make the medicine. Head out of this place (you’ll be glad to note that the purple horses have finally disappeared) and walk in the western direction to reach the town. =============================================================================== Animakal [ToR1Q] =============================================================================== W.T.F. These idiot people are throwing stones at you! I wish we could throw them back at them. Or at least make use of Veigue’s force and freeze them to death. Ugh. At least the Inn Keeper is finally being nice to you, so head inside the Inn and into the room you were in before. Frantz will stay there with Annie so go outside of the Inn to wait. Not before long, a cured Annie will come out of the Inn, to everyone’s relief. However looks like Tytree’s got a mild case of heatstroke, so he’ll collapse on the ground in the middle of the conversation. Watch the amusing scene that follows as Veigue uses his Force to drop a block of ice on Tytree’s red face. It sizzles... xD Once you are in control, Annie will become available to battle once more, so rearrange your party if you wish. If you sleep at the Inn twice, two new skits will become available. You’ll learn that Annie is keeping a diary, and Tytree had a bad dream about his sister getting married, lol. Our next destination is the Climbers’ Cavern. To get there head east of Animakal until you see a wooden bridge. You might’ve spotted it on the way to the Oasis. It’s just past the Farm Fresh Groceries. After crossing the bridge, explore the little island before continuing on. Just south of the bridge is a DISCOVERY SPOT, from the Cat Loving Old Man quest. You’ll discover a RIKISHIFURUUTSU, which I don’t know how to translate, so I’ll just tell you that it looks like a weird tree. Anyway, after you find it, continue on in the NE direction until you find another set of bridges. You’ll find a chest with a LETUCCE TICKET on your way. After you cross the last bridge, you’ll find yet another Farm Fresh Groceries store. Man these are abundant. Ignore it and continue to follow the path until you finally arrive at the Climbers’ Cavern. Please save before entering the dungeon. Also, there’s a chest with a LETTUCE TICKET southeast of here. =============================================================================== Climbers' Cavern [ToR1R] =============================================================================== o~~Item Checklist: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~o | Rice Mind Pearl | | Life Bottle x2 Panic Charm | | 2575 Gald Peach Gummy | | Cheese Apple Gummy | | Shield Pearl Apples | | Potatoes 2469 Gald | | Carrots Force Pearl | | 2100 Gald | o~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~o Okay, be careful in here. You see that dark purpleish-blue fog? One second of carelessness and BAM. Battle time! And death is imminent. ‘Cause if you stand still for too long it will gather around you and trigger a battle that you can’t escape! It’s pretty dangerous so if you’re underleveled, seriously watch out and do your best not to touch the creepy fog, okay? Of course, each battle gives you approximately 300 EXP more or less, so it’s not a bad idea to train despite the whole no escape thing. Anyway, head to the left. You’ll spot a treasure chest with some RICE pretty soon. Climb up the stairs and into the next screen. In this screen head forward and flip the lever on the side to access a chest containing a MIND PEARL. Backtrack a bit and take the upper left path up those stairs to enter a new screen. Just follow the path until you come outside a clearing. There’ll be a treasure chest with a LIFE BOTTLE there. Take the upper right exit and you’ll be back in the dungeon. A scene will play out after you walk in a little further. It’s the Dark Wings again! Eerrrr. The Dark Fangs I mean. ...Okay, apparently they’re called the Dark Claws now... Anyway, the leader seems to be injured so Annie will help him and then they’ll leave you alone. No battle this time. You’ll be back in control soon enough. Head up the stairs to get a PANIC CHARM before taking the lower path to the next screen. Head down the stairs until the next screen where you will find another chest trapped behind some bars. Flip the switch like last time and you’ll be able to get 2575 GALD. Take the lower path out of this screen to end up in another fork. Take the upper path first to get a PEACH GUMMY from a chest before heading down the stairs to the right. You’ll end up outside again. Get the CHEESE from the chest before heading down to where those crates are. Covered by the foliage there’ll be a chest with an APPLE GUMMY. Climb up the hill and cross the bridge and you’ll be back in the dungeon. Oh yay. Head up to get a SHIELD PEARL from a chest hiding behind the wall. You won’t be able to access the other chest in this room so just continue on to the next screen. Okay, this room has a Save Point and I HIGHLY suggest that you save. Also check the barrels to the north of the Save Point to get an APPLE. Walk up the upper left stairs get some POTATOES from the treasure chest there before exiting to the next screen. Follow the path to the next screen and get 2469 GALD from the chest on the way. In the next screen you can either pull the two levers there to get to the upper right exit, or just go around them, since the stairs at the upper left take you there anyway. Once outside there’ll be two chests with some CARROTS and a FORCE PEARL ring. Head back inside and this time take the upper left exit. You’ll be ambushed by a new face by the name of Donnell. And guess what? It’s Boss Battle time! =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- BOSS: Donnell HP: 37300 My level: 30 Donnell will be backed up by Saleh and Tomah mud-dolls, who both have 4000 HP. Don’t bother getting rid of them just yet as Donnell will just end up reviving them. This isn’t a hard battle, just a time consuming one due to Donnell’s monstrous HP. When you are done you’ll receive a Burst Bottle and a Switch Mail armor for your efforts, along with 3000 Gald and 3676 EXP. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- After the scene, just have Eugene destroy the debris and you’ll be able to exit to the next screen. We’re sadly back again in this dungeon and its stupid purple-blue fog of doom. Follow the rather straight-forward path to the next room. In here, walk up and hit the lever to open the way to a chest with 2100 GALD. Head down the stairs and get the chest with a LIFE BOTTLE before heading up to the next screen. Finally, follow the next three screens and you’ll be out of this place! Ah, the good outdoors. Enjoy the nice view along with a SAVORY herb from the chest just up ahead. =============================================================================== Babilograd [ToR1S] =============================================================================== You hear that lovely, heavenly music? It’s the music of pure awesomeness celebrating our escape from the Climber’s Cavern. Alright! So, Babilograd has a special type of religion that doesn’t let women talk to men that are not part of their family, as well as vice versa. You’ll have to switch characters with your L2/R2 buttons to be able to talk to everyone in here. Also, your conversations may change depending if you use a Gajuma or Huma character. The first thing to do here is to enter the house in the upper left. Examine the table to learn the OMELETTE recipe. Head outside and take the northern exit. Enter the house on the right and talk to the man inside for a scene. Looks like we can’t ride the lift to the port yet, so let’s explore the town. Exit the house and head up again. You’ll see Ox again, standing in between a random house and the shopping center. Enter it and stock up on any items you need and upgrade your weapons accordingly. The accessory peddler will also be there. Exit through the left and you’ll trigger a scene. Afterwards, head to the Inn, stock up on food if needed, and save. If you go down from this screen you’ll be able to find Dana’s house, and she’ll be in the second floor. However, if you go up from the Inn you’ll eventually find a temple-like building. Enter it and you’ll notice that it was the building Claire was in not too long ago... Anyway, now that we’re done exploring it’s time to see the Lift Manager again, so head to his house. Okay, looks like Walt’s Force is at work here. We’re going to have to neutralize it once more so head outside of this house and go up to where Ox is standing. Enter the house on the right and speak to the woman inside to trigger a scene. After, head upstairs to talk with her husband. Finally head out of the house for one last scene. Time to head to the temple. If you don’t remember how to get there, it’s only left of here and then up two screens. After the scene check the book by the altar. You’ll receive the BLUE BEAST SCRIPTURES. Now we have a short but tedious task ahead of us. You must talk to everyone in this town before heading back to the Lift Manager. The keyword is ITOSHIKISORA. Lanyn's translation guide should explain how to write it if you don't known hiragana. Press the TRIANGLE button to finish inputting the keyword. After the scene exit the house and before heading to the right to ride the lift go back to the Inn to save. =============================================================================== Babilograd's Harbor [ToR1T] =============================================================================== Watch the scene and when you head to the left it’ll be Boss Battle time. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- BOSSES: Walt HP: 27420 Milista HP: 17050 My level: 31 If you’re as leveled up as I am, you won’t have trouble with this battle. Thankfully, you should already know how to handle these two due to your previous encounters. Focus on Milista first, who not only has less HP but is probably the most irritating due to her constant teleporting. Beware of her Spectral Field attack as usual. Once you’re down to one, this battle will be a breeze. Walt can inflict Panic on you, so if you have any Panic Charms, make sure to equip them. He’s really not much of a threat alone so you’ll be done in no time. You’ll receive a Grape Gummy, a Panic Charm, and a Light Resist ring for your efforts, along with 3800 Gald and 4222 EXP. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- In the following scene you’ll meet a very important character by the name of Milhaust. Walt and Milista will retreat, and Selena along with two other girls will finally be saved. Looks like Claire was moved two or so days ago though. Heh, did you think it was going to be that easy? After the scene ends there are a couple things to do before continuing the storyline. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *SIDEQUEST #2* Mobile Library, Part 3 of 18 *SIDEQUEST #3* Completion Old Man, Part 3 of 16 First, return to Babilograd via lift. Enter the Lift Manager’s house before exiting it again and you’ll be able to trigger a skit where Hilda will gain her “Sake Lover” title which has a +3 Thrust Attack Power bonus. Also, if you sleep at an Inn you might trigger another skit about Annie’s diary. With that done, head to the entrance of the town to talk to the man in the cowboy hat. It’s time to head back to Minal. Head for the Gymnasium and talk to the Completion Old Man to receive an APPLE GUMMY. Then head to the Library and to talk to the guy upstairs as usual before returning to Babilograd’s Harbor. Now don’t cry but when you ask the guy to transport you back to Babilograd, you’ll be outside the Climber’s Cavern. Yes, you have to go through this again, but at least you know the way now! Once in the Harbor, enter the Inn and head to the second floor to speak with the fish-like Gajuma on the left. Then return to Minal, talk to the guy in the library. With that done, please endure the Climber’s Cavern one last time as you make your way back to Babilograd. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Alright, let’s head to the Harbor. Talk to the sailor by the ship and you’ll be on your way to Balka! =============================================================================== Balka's Harbor [ToR1U] =============================================================================== From here, just exit to the left. At the end of this screen there’s an Item Store managed by a bear-like Gajuma. Stock up on items if needed and continue on to the left. A foreboding scene will play out. If you want, sleep in the Inn to trigger a skit about Eugene’s childhood. If not, just exit the Harbor and you’ll end up in the World Map. It’ll be very foggy but you should be able to see the main path without a problem. There’s a Farm Fresh Groceries location around, if you care to look for it. Anyway, follow the path to reach the city of Balka! =============================================================================== Balka [ToR1V] =============================================================================== Before heading to the Karegia Castle, let’s explore the town first. The building to the right is an Inn, so stock up on food and save if you want. The man dressed in blue in the upper left corner is a Train Conductor that will take you around the city if you talk to him. But let’s walk around first. Take the upper right path to find the Item/Accessory Store. The Accessory Store will now begin selling Onyx rings. Exit the store and head up to the next screen. There’ll be a Bar here. Enter it and check out one of the tables to get the CARBONARA recipe. Exit the bar. If you head up the stairs on the left you’ll end up outside the Karegia Castle, so don’t go there yet. Keep in mind that there’s another Train Conductor in that area though. Anyway head back to the first screen. Take the left path this time and you’ll see the Equipment Store. It sells the same things as the last city, so unless you haven’t upgraded yet, there’s no need to enter it. Take the upper right path and you’ll find a second Item Store as well as another Train Operator. Since we’ve explored seen everything the city has to offer already, go ahead and talk to the conductor here and choose the second option. You’ll be outside the Castle once more. Time to head inside. The POV will switch back to Claire for now. Exit the room and watch the scene that ensues. Things aren’t looking good for Claire. Let’s save her quickly! When you are back in control, head over to the Train Conductor and pick the third option. Enter the house there and head to the back to trigger a scene. You’ll meet Yottsua, the country’s best source of information. He’ll direct you to a man named Jibel who knows how to get inside the Castle. Exit this place and talk to the conductor once more. Chose the first option to return to the first screen of the city. Take the upper right exit and enter the red house on the right. Pass the door and head down the stairs. Inside the next room there’ll be an old guy sitting in the middle of the room. That’s your target. When you talk to him a scene will play out. You’re going to have to leave two of your party members behind for now. Anyone but Veigue and Mao will do. Personally, I left Tytree and Eugene behind. While I love having Eugene in my party, lately I’m more incline to have Annie for healing, Mao and Hilda for spells, and Veigue for brute force. Anyway, chose whomever you like. Their names will be displayed in this order. Veigue Mao Eugene Annie Tytree Hilda Finalize Party When you’re done exit out of the town and head to the northeast. Our destination is the Mesechina Cavern. On your way you should find a chest with a BUTTER TICKET inside, and not too far after that there’ll a DISCOVERY SPOT. I definitely don’t know how to translate this one either, but it looks like a gravestone of sorts. Past it will be our next dungeon. =============================================================================== Mesechina Caverns [ToR1W] =============================================================================== This is a pretty simple dungeon. Just follow the path and you’ll eventually find Hack. After the battle, he’ll run back to town. Before we do the same, check along the left wall to find a chest with an APPLE GUMMY inside. Now let’s head back to Balka. =============================================================================== Balka [ToR1X] =============================================================================== Return to Jimbe’s house and he’ll tell you how to get into the Castle. ...can you believe it’s been right in front of our faces this whole time? After the scene talk to Hack to receive ANDREW’S SIGHT, which is a staff for Annie. Doing so will complete *SIDEQUEST #5*. Anyway, at this point you should stock up on items, upgrade your weapons and whatnot, before taking the path behind Jinbei’s chair. After the scene head forward to enter the Castle. =============================================================================== Underground Passage [ToR1Y] =============================================================================== o~~Item Checklist: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~o | Aqua Powder Peach Gummy | | Mighty Onyx | o~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~o You’ll be happy to know that there will be no battle encounters here. With that said, ignore the ladder at the north as that way is a dead end. Instead take the stairs on the right and enter the next screen. Pass this screen and you’ll end up in a room with a lever and a chest containing AQUA POWDER. Flip the lever and return to the previous screen. Examine the wall to open up a door to the next screen. Past this room and you’ll end up at a fork. Take the upper right door first to obtain PEACH GUMMY and then return to take the left. Pass the stairs and at the next room a scene will play out. This puzzle is pretty simple. You just have to make the left clock look the same as the right one, so examine it three times and you’ll be able to continue on. In the next room, ignore the huge staircase and go up the ladder in the back to get a MIGHTY ONYX from a chest. Backtrack to the previous room and this time head up the staircase to exit through the northern door. Head up the stairs to finally arrive at the Castle. =============================================================================== Karegia Castle [ToR1Z] =============================================================================== After the scene exit this room and you’ll spot a Save Point. Naturally, save, and then go confront that guard in the way. In the next screen watch as the $h!t hits the fan. What the heck is going on? We’ll have to find out after the following battle. No worries, it’s just henchmen. Give them no quarter! =============================================================================== Balka's Prison [ToR1AA] =============================================================================== o~~Item Checklist: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~o | Prison Keys (storyline) Ginnal's Memo (storyline) | | Lemon Gummy Life Bottle | | Burst Bottle | o~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~o Maaaan, I can’t believe we’re in prison. Moreover, I can’t believe those guys saved us! The Dark Wings sure are awesome! They even brought all your equipment back! Alright~! Let’s release everyone else and get out of here. Also, along with your equipment you’ll receive the PRISON KEYS and GINNAL’S MEMO. After you release Eugene and Tytree, you’ll have to do a little puzzle. Examine the light bulbs and move them in this order: blue, yellow, red, orange, gray. The rest of your party will be released, along with some other prisoners that had been unfairly thrown in jail. After talking to all of them, check out the cells to obtain a LEMON GUMMY, a LIFE BOTTLE, and a BURST BOTTLE. Finally, head out of the Prison and towards Balka once more. It will be SE from here. Once in Balka, take the underground tunnel back into the Castle. =============================================================================== Karegia Castle [ToR1BB] =============================================================================== o~~Item Checklist: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~o | Obsidian Gungnir | | Kuwanjaru Life Bottle | | Peach Gummy | o~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~o Once you come out of the tunnel, exit the room, save, and move to the next room. You can’t head forward, so take the upper left path instead. In the next screen there will be a bunch of soldiers here, go ahead and fight them all before moving on. I highly suggest you defeat every guard you come across as each battle will reward you with 500 exp more or less. Anyway, continue forward until you reach the fifth screen. A scene will be triggered and you will get into another battle. After the scene check the other two rooms to rescue the rest of the girls as well as obtain an OBSIDIAN sword for Veigue, and a GUNGNIR spear for Eugene. Equip them. Exit the rooms and head up. Fight your way out of this room taking the upper right path. Head down the stairs and to the next screen. More guards. Beat them up and continue on to the right, and then the upper right. Finally, you’ll come across a Save Spot, and I highly suggest you use it. Check the first two rooms to receive a KUWANJARU tonfa for Mao and a LIFE BOTTLE (there will be another Save Spot here). Continue on to trigger a scene and it will be Boss Battle time. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- BOSSES: Saleh HP: 34500 Tohma HP: 51000 My level: 36 These two have a ridiculously high amount of HP!!! For some reason I went into this battle with all my heavy hitters, but I recommend you at least have one magic user in your party as these two have elemental weaknesses. Saleh’s is Earth and Tomah’s is Water (though watch as out Tomah is strong against Earth). I decided to go after Saleh first due to his lower HP and irritating spell casting. Saleh can hit pretty fast and he can inflict weak on you, so if you have a Weak Charm now is the time to equip it. His spells are nothing to laugh at either. Try to blitz him to stop him from casting. With Saleh defeated, you can now focus all your attention on Tohma. My party had thankfully already taken a third of his HP down while I was focusing on Saleh. Tomah is much slower than Saleh, but by no means weaker. He can triple punch you up into the air or knock you down if you’re not careful. Watch out for his Shade Sorcery attack too. You might be able to finish the battle with a Hi-Ougi to boot. You’ll receive a Grape Gummy, a Life Bottle, some Green Powder and a Thrust Refine Stone for your efforts, along with 4000 Gald and 5572 EXP. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- And with that we’ve beaten all of the Four Stars! Give yourself a pat on the back. Now before continuing on, return to the previous screen and enter the third door to pick up a PEACH GUMMY from a chest. Also, go back to the Save Point and use it. AND MAKE SURE ANNIE IS IN YOUR PARTY. Afterwards move on, as it’s time to save Claire! Milista and Walt will get in your way, but Veigue’s in too much of a hurry to deal with them and proceeds to shove them out of the way. You will arrive to the rooftop too late however, and it’ll be Boss Battle time once again. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- BOSS: Geyorkias HP: 100000 My level: 37 Hooooly crap. Prepare yourself for a long, long, HARD battle. Annie is SERIOUSLY IMPERATIVE for this battle, so I hope you brought her along like I asked you to before. You can’t be reckless here, shield often, heal often, and attack whenever you get the chance. When you’re finishing tackling this beast, you’ll be rewarded with an Hourglass, a Nature Topaz and 6400 EXP. No Gald this time guys /: =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- =============================================================================== Part 2: The Trials [ToR2] =============================================================================== A. - Sulz.........................................................[ToR2A] B. - Reassembling the Party.......................................[ToR2B] C. - Mesechina Caverns............................................[ToR2C] D. - Razilda Harbor...............................................[ToR2D] E. - Razilda(First Visit).........................................[ToR2E] F. - Mesechina Caverns............................................[ToR2F] G. - Razilda (Second Visit).......................................[ToR2G] H. - Zeren Wetlands Spring........................................[ToR2H] I. - Pipista......................................................[ToR2I] J. - Shrine of Fenia..............................................[ToR2J] K. - Razilda (Third Visit)........................................[ToR2K] L. - Zeren Wetlands Spring Revisited..............................[ToR2L] M. - Razilda (Fourth Visit).......................................[ToR2M] N. - Kyogen.......................................................[ToR2N] O. - Nolzen (First Visit).........................................[ToR2O] P. - Tower of Nereg...............................................[ToR2P] Q. - Nolzen (Second Visit)........................................[ToR2Q] R. - Tower of Wontiga.............................................[ToR2R] S. - Belsas' Harbor...............................................[ToR2S] T. - Belsas(First Visit)..........................................[ToR2T] U. - Shrine of Blue...............................................[ToR2U] V. - Nolzen(Third Visit) .........................................[ToR2V] W. - Mocrado Village..............................................[ToR2W] X. - Stone Ruins..................................................[ToR2X] Y. - Belsas (Second Visit)........................................[ToR2Y] Z. - Sannytown....................................................[ToR2Z] =============================================================================== Sulz [ToR2A] =============================================================================== Abruptly enough, after the battle you will soon find yourself back in Sulz. Go figure. Claire will wake up from her sleep, a little disoriented, but overall fine ...probably. Veigue will go get her some water but on his way he hears a commotion taking place. Let’s head over to the Assembly Hall. (If you don’t remember, that’s where the game begun.) Watch the following scenes. Something seems amiss with the Gajuma. And apparently, it’s not only here. This type of behavior seems to have increased throughout the whole country! Eugene too has been affected and requests your presence, according to Annie. She will join your party, and your next destination will be Petnadjanka, to pick up Tytree. =============================================================================== Reassembling the Party [ToR2B] =============================================================================== Exit Sulz and follow the path and you should encounter a DISCOVERY SPOT. This time, it looks like it’s a woodpecker, though the katakana reads “Untsutsuki”. When you reach the Keketto Hostel, you will automatically be taken inside for a scene. Annie and Veigue will discuss the recent events. Afterwards leave the Inn, and surprisingly enough, Claire will enter it, accompanied by the cowboy-hat-man. Looks like she was heading to Balka... I wonder why. Anyway she will join your party and it will be time to do some side quests! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *SIDEQUEST #1* Monica and Steve, Part 2 of 4 *SIDEQUEST #3* Completion Old Man, Part 4 & 5 of 16 Before anything, head to the Alvan Mountains and enter the cave you rested in last time. Check the barrel there for a THURST REFINE STONE. Afterwards, head back to Sulz. We’re finally continuing this sub-event! Once in Sulz, to talk to Steve in the Weapon Store for a scene and Monica in the Assembly Hall for another. That’ll be all for now. Next up, head to Minal via cowboy-hat-man. Enter the bar and talk to the chef in the back, choosing the first option to receive the HAMBURG recipe. Then, head to the Gymnasium. Helen will be standing outside of it, so talk to her for a scene. After, enter the Gymnasium to talk to the Completion Old Man. You’ll receive a FUUJIN SPIRIT TALISMAN, which turns Veigue’s Shunrenjin skill into Fuujinken, and a RECOVERY REFINE STONE. Exit the town and head for the Forest Labyrinth. Enter the second screen and around the middle climb down those small discreet stairs and examine the wall to obtain a GREEN LIQUID. Then head to the next screen and jump down once. Approach the wall on the left and examine it to obtain a BELLEBANE herb. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- With that done, exit the forest and head to Petnadjanka. The easiest way to do this is by talking the cowboy-hat-man. Once there, head to the Factory in the back for a scene and Tytree will join your party. Our next destination will be the Climber’s Cavern to pick up some more really great items. To get there head to Babilograb via cowboy-hat-man. In the Climber’s Cavern, head to the fourth screen and check under the big stone pillar to get an ELIXIR. Proceed to the screen with the save point, and then forward 3 more screens. Take the eastern exit here to end up outside. Walk towards the northern edge and check the right to obtain a NASSHEBIRUDO, an armor for Tytree. Finally, continuing on through the cave until you reach Babilograd and take a ship to the Balka Harbor before making your way to the Mesechina Cavern. Just follow the path to Balka, and from there head NE. =============================================================================== Mesechina Cavern [ToR2C] =============================================================================== After the short scene, Mao will join your party. Head to the back of this cave to meet up with Eugene. Apparently, the reason he wanted you guys gathered was so you could kill him. Looks like whatever is affecting Gajumas is also affecting him... The party will discuss what to do next and Mao and Claire will stay behind while the rest head to Razilda to look for medicine. Head to Balka’s Harbor to book a ship there. =============================================================================== Razilda Harbor [ToR2D] =============================================================================== There’s a boy here that if you give her food she gives you something back. For example, I made her a potato and some octopus and he gave me back a SAFIRO armor for Eugene. I’m not sure if other combinations will produce something also or if you'll get the same thing. In any case, exit the Harbor and head to the northeast to get to Razilda. =============================================================================== Razilda [ToR2E] =============================================================================== After the scenes you will be allowed to explore the town. Razilda sure is full of chickens! It makes me want to kick them a ala Zelda, lol. The first house on the right is an Inn. Sleep in the Inn and the following morning the innkeeper will teach you how to make MEATLOAF. Be sure to respond YES to her. Use the Saving Spot before exiting the house. Head to the left. An items shop is here so feel free to stock up if needed. On the left side of the Inn there is a bird-like Gajuma who wants a Gummy of every kind! There is five, and you should have already have all of them in your inventory unless you used up those rare-types already. The five are: Apple Gummy, Peach Gummy, Grape Gummy, Switch Gummy, and a Lemon Gummy. You will get the DASHUTAARO armor for Veigue out of this. Continuing on to the left to spot a weapon shop. The vendor won’t be pleased with you but she will still sell you her wares. After upgrading your weapons return to the previous screen and this time take the upper exit, past the old man and the dog. There will be a lone house here, enter and talk to the man inside. Looks like the Serenity Pill does exist. Iga will be sympathetic to your cause until he hears that you are trying to help a Gajuma. He will proceed to kick you out of his house. Man Tytree, why’d you have to open your mouth? Then, all of the sudden, Zapie will get excited and run off. Follow him to the Inn to see why. It’s Hilda! What is she doing here? Before you know it she will join your party. Our next goal is to find some Belde Grass, an ingredient for the Serenity Pill we need, which is in the Azura Coast. Once you exit the town you will to be automatically taken there. Igol, one of the guys you rescued when you were in prison, will be there. Apparently Iga is his old man, so he’ll go talk to him to get medicine for you since he owes you. Alright! Like Tytree says, helping people really pays off! You’ll be taken back to Razilda. Enter the Inn and Igol will show up with the medicine. After you receive the PILL OF SERENITY, exit the town and another scene will ensure. This time you’ll see Claire approaching the Castle. What the heck is she doing there? Milhaust will come out and for some reason Claire will call out to him only to be ignored. And daaamn Milhaust appears to be in a BAD mood. When you are back in control, head to the Razilda Harbor and take a boat back to Balka’s. From there, head off to the Mesechina Caverns. =============================================================================== Mesechina Caverns [ToR2F] =============================================================================== Once Mao joins your party again, use the Save Point before moving on. When you get to Eugene, he will be out of control and it’ll be Boss Battle time. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- BOSS: Eugene (Beserk) HP: 7723 My level: 38 This is not a tough battle. Sure, Eugene is fast and almost impossible to stun, but his HP is very low. You should be done with this in no time. No item or Gald rewards this time, only 7352 EXP, but that’s understandable. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Watch the fluffy scene that ensues. Doesn’t that warm your heart? ^^ After some more discussion Eugene will join your party once more, and Claire will resume her spot as an NPC. Now we’ll need to investigate this cave. Return to the previous screen and check out the wall on the right (not the one with the green crystal, but the one beyond that one). You will trigger a scene before you can examine it. Then, break down the wall by using Eugene’s force. A new room will be open to you so continue onwards! Examine the stone tablets for a scene. Afterwards, examine the one on the right. Then the one on the left again. The screen will zoom in on the tablet. You will need to examine the circle near the middle of the tablet, on top of the two Gajuma-like drawings, to trigger another scene. Looks like we have to head back to Razilda. But there are things to do first! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *SIDEQUEST #6* Mystery of the Iron Factory *SIDEQUEST #7* Kindhearted Mister Btw, although you should already have an idea of what is going on with Claire, when you leave the Mesechina Cavern there will be a skit that will clue you in even more. Anyway, first of all return to Balka’s Harbor to take a ship to Minal. From here walk to Petnadjanka or quick jump via cowboy-hat-man. Head to the Factory in the back. Once inside, take a left and talk to the man in that room. In case you forgot, he’s the Boss of the Factory. After the scene, head to the entrance of the village and enter the house to talk to Rookie. After, head back to the Factory and talk to all the workers. Btw, the treasure chests are a liiiiie. You can’t get any of them... for now. When you finished talking to all the workers, head into the main hallway and a scene will ensure. When prompted pick the THIRD OPTION. Afterwards, head to the room with the big machine in the middle. Examine the door at the upper left for another scene and then talk to the man in the same room. Finally, talk to the rest of the workers once more before returning to examine that door again. It’s finally time to pick up the treasure chests! We’re looking for pieces that are round, and only pieces that are round. So from where you are now, pick up the chest next to the furnace. Then head down to the next screen and open the treasure chest that’s next to the worker clad in blue. After, head to the main hallway and take the first door to the right and pick up that treasure chest. Lastly, in the room with the big machine in the middle, head down the ladder on the right to get the last piece of the emblem from that treasure chest. Now go talk to the man in the orange overalls and he will give you an iron mold. He’s in the room with the furnace. From here, head down again to talk to the man in blue. He will make you YURI’S EMBLEM. Finally, go examine the door once more and place the emblem in its place. The door will open! Head inside for one last scene. Veigue will receive his GREAT DETECTIVE TITLE, with a +6 Skill Attack Power bonus. Annie will receive the same title, but with only a +3 Skill Attack Power. Tytree on the other hand will receive his SLOPPY DETECTIVE, which has a +4 Skill Attack Power bonus. After the scene, pick up the chests to obtain an ELIXIR and 5000 GALD to boot. Not bad, right? ^^ And we’re not done yet. Time for the second quest. First off, let’s head to the Climber’s Cavern. It’s time to pick up that chest we missed last time. Talk to the cowboy-hat-man head to Babilograd to arrive at your destination. Just continue through this dungeon until you spot two Gajumas, one of them trapped next to that treasure chest you couldn’t get before. After talking to the woman Gajuma you’ll have to return to Petnadjanka... Yeah I know, so much going back and forth! But anyway once you are there (the easiest way is to get there is through Babilograd),talk to the Factory’s Boss to receive the NANAKO ORE. With that in hand, head back to Climber’s Cavern to talk to that woman and you’ll receive Eugene’s KINDHEARTED MASTER title, which has a +4 Skill Attack Power bonus. Also, finally get that chest to obtain a LIFE EMERALD ring. Phew, finally done with all of this. Only one more thing to do now. Head to Sannytown via cowboy-hat-man and enter it before leaving through the southern exit. We’re heading off to Karez so follow the path until you get there. Once in here follow the southeastern path and continue on until you are in the 6th screen. It should be the room with the ladder in the middle and two exits (in addition to the one you came through). Take the southwest exit and follow it all the way down until you see a set of pipes. Examine them to obtain some FLARE POWDER before returning to the previous screen. Take the southeast exit this time and in this room, fall down the first opening to find another set of pipes. Examine them to obtain a JUTSU REFINE STONE. With that, we’re done here. Head back to Sannytown and to take a boat to Razilda. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- =============================================================================== Razilda [ToR2G] =============================================================================== Head to the Inn to trigger a scene, and after head up to the second floor. Examine the purple tapestry on the wall and another scene will ensue. When it’s done, head down and talk to the Innkeeper before exiting the Inn. From here, head to the left and enter the first house you see. Talk to the Bear-like Gajuma woman in there. After the scene, we’ll have to talk to both Leaders of the village. First, go north and you’ll see a goat-like Gajuma standing in front of a house. Speak to him and only Eugene will be allowed to enter to talk to Fogma, the Gajuma leader. He will tell you about the two maps needed to find the Power of Darkness, which they fear. Unfortunately, he does not know of its location. After you finish talking to him, examine the tapestry on the second floor. Another scene will play out and you will receive the GAJUMA FLAG. Next up, we’ll have to pay Iga a visit. If you don’t remember where his house is, from the first screen of the town head left and then down. Talk to the man standing in front of the house and Mao, Hilda, and Claire will be allowed inside. He will tell you about two keys needed to find the Power of Darkness, which they consider holy. After the conversation finishes, examine the purple tapestry in the first floor and after some more talk you will obtain the HUMA FLAG. Now return to the Inn and talk to the Innkeeper to book a room. After a while another “password screen” will pop up. There are two passwords you could use to continue. One of them is HATA, and the other is MONSHOU. Like before, just try to find the characters in the menu and then press the TRIANGLE to finish inputting it. The party will realize that by combining both flags, they will find the answer they need! Now we only have to find a place that grows all the flowers from the flags so head outside the Inn and approach the cart of flowers. Another password screen will pop up. There are three possible passwords this time: SAKUKISETSU, SAKUJIKI, or KISETSU, the latter being the easiest to input. After the scene ends, head to the Bear-like Gajuma’s house on the left once more and you’ll find the florist. Tytree would make such an awesome older brother, don’t you think? ^^ Anyway, before we head off to the Spring we’ve been looking for, first sleep three times at the inn to unlock some additional skits. One of them will be about Mao talking in his sleep again, another will be the continuation of Annie’s Diary, and the last one will be about Mao being angry at Tytree for waking him up from a good dream. And with that done it’s time to do another sidequest! ^^ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *SIDEQUEST #8* The Stone Tablets in the Mesechina Cavern, Part 1 of 6 (No Rewards) WARNING: [You don’t get a reward out of this. This just enriches the story for you by giving you more background info on the Stone Tablets and whatnot. If you don’t know Japanese you can skip over this section if you like. Once I know more Japanese I might come back and put up translation for it. Until then, read on.] Alright well let’s head to the Mesechina Cavern. To do this, you’ll have to return to the Razilda Harbor and take a ship to Balka’s. Once at the M. Cavern head to the room with the Tablets to find Hack investigating them. Talk to him (chose the first option) and he will tell you his findings. That’s it for now, but we’ll be returning soon. Let’s head back to Razilda for now. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From Razilda, head east until you see a huge swamp. Cross through it until are near the bottom right of it (looking at the World Map) and you’ll find yourself at the Zeren Wetlands Spring. =============================================================================== Zeren Wetlands Spring [ToR2H] =============================================================================== o~~Item Checklist: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~o | Lemon Gummy All-Divide | | Final Cross Switch Gummy | | Shingata Emerald of Darkness (storyline) | | Pirokuseemu | o~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~o Soon after the scene that ensues, a list will pop up. You will have to click on each of them in the following order: 4, 2, 1, 3. After the CG cutscene another scene will ensue. Am I the only one that thinks Tytree is pretty much this game’s protagonist? Veigue is always sooo silent in important times like this! Anyway, once you are back in control you will be in your next dungeon. This place is a bit like the Climber’s Cavern because it has that same annoying fog, except this time it’s green. In some ways it could be worse, because this fog is more spread out than the other one (imo), but at least you can escape from battles this time (although personally I wouldn’t as each gives you around 800 EXP). Anyway, first head down the first couple steps and take the first exit you see, on the upper right. Follow the path in this room and you’ll come across a chest with a LEMON GUMMY. Exit this place using the lower left path and you’ll end up in the previous room again. From here jus continue following the lower left path until the next screen. You’ll end up in Petnadjanka... wait what? Yup. And only Tytree will be there to boot. Wonder what’s going on... Let’s follow Selena and head to the Factory to find out. Looks like all of this was some sort of Trial for Tytree. I wonder if there will be more for the others? We’ll see. Now that you are back in the real world, head down those stairs and take the upper path first to obtain an ALL-DIVIDE. Continue through the path until you see an exit. Take it to return to the previous room. From here, just head down to pick up a chest with a FINAL CROSS robe for Hilda. Taking the lower left exit gets you back in Petnadjanka. Tytree’s Trial will continue but not too long after you’ll end up back in the ruins. Continue on to the next room. Here you’ll have to use Tytree’s Force to continue on. Stand under the first platform until you see the Force cube pop up before pressing SQUARE to use Tytree’s Force. Head up the vine you just created and use Tytree’s Force again to move the lever on the left. Now make another vine attach itself to the above platform and climb it. Flip the lever on the right to reach a chest with a SWITCH GUMMY. Climb up the next platform and hit the lever to fall back down. Head to the right and hit the lever again before climbing up the next two platforms to reach a chest with a SHINGATA for Tytree. Now hit the next lever to fall back down again. From here, climb all the way down and return to the previous screen. This will reset the puzzle. Now backtrack to it again. First climb the first platform and activate the lever before heading up. Then, activate the second lever and climb down the platform under it. Head to the left and climb up again. Climb the leftmost platform here and then the one above that to activate another lever. Now head all the way down again. Now climb up the rightmost platform here and then twice again. Activate this last lever and head back down for the last time, before climbing up the platforms on the left until you reach your destination. Thankfully a shortcut will open up after all of this. Afterwards Tytree will be back in his hometown. Head to the right from here and then up. Enter the house on the right for a very important scene. When you return to the ruins, use the Save Point in front of you before heading forward for another scene. It’ll be Boss Battle time! =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- BOSS: Eephon HP: 77208 My level: 41 This battle will be a little though, but it’s doable. Guard often, use lots of magic against him, and don’t stand too close as Eephon’s sword attacks can down half of your HP in one go. He has quite a bit of HP so this might take a while, but play it safely and you’ll finish easily, and perhaps even with a Hi-Ougi. You’ll receive Dark powder and a Weapon Refiner for your efforts, along with 11144 EXP and 4000 Gald. Finally some Gald drop! =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- You’ll also receive the EMERALD OF DARKNESS, and Tytree will be able to learn his Souha Tsuiresen skill. Now, exit out of this dungeon. If you feel like going through the trouble of going back in and into the last room again, you’ll be able to get a PIROKUSEEMU armor for Eugene by examining the stone emblem. Whatever you chose to do, our next destination is Pipista, and it’s not too far from here. Head directly west from where you are now and keep walking alongside the brown wall to eventually find an entrance to it. Once inside, head in the southwestern direction (ignore the Flame-Holders for now). On your way you should find a chest with LEMON TICKET, and Farm Fresh Groceries location, and another chest with BEEF TICKET. Also, very near the city of Pipilsta is another DISCOVERY SPOT, which once again I don’t know how to translate. The picture will look much like our sandy surroundings. =============================================================================== Pipista [ToR2I] =============================================================================== In this town you need to have Eugene as your on-screen character, since everyone dislikes Humas here. Anyway, the first building to the left, up the stairs, is the Equipment, Items, and Accessory Store. Stock up on everything you need and upgrade your gear before exiting it. After head past Mr. Cowboy-hat-man and enter the house on the left. Talk to the bird-like Gajuma woman inside and say YES. She’ll teach you how to make MEAT SAUCE. After, exit the house and continue on to the next screen. There’s an Inn here, and if you rest there for the night you’ll be able to trigger a skit about Mao’s dreams once more. More importantly, I wonder what Hack’s doing in this town and why he’s tied up. Talk to him to find out what’s going on and afterwards head inside the house on the right to continue. When you finished talking to the Chief of the town head back to the first screen of the town and enter the house where you got the Meat Sauce recipe. Talk to the bear-like Gajuma and he’ll let you speak with Hack. Looks like we were right to come to this village. Now let’s ask around and see if anyone knows anything about the Holy Bird. Exit the house and head to the right screen. DO MY EYES DECEIVE ME OR IS THAT AN OSTRICH? Dude, go examine it, right now. Say YES when the options pops up to receive an OSTRICH EGG. That is awesome! Now enter the only house here and talk to the bird-like Gajuma there. He’ll tell you more about the Holy Bird, and something else called the Orb of Life. Our next destination is the Inn. Head inside and talk to the grocer (the one on the left). When the options pop up, choose the second one to talk to him. After the scene check out the stalls of good nearby to continue. The scene that follows is really funny, and you’ll obtain the SPINY RED CACTUS. Poor Tytree though, lol. Finally head back to see the Chief of the town. When you talk to him three options will pop up. Choose the second one (it should be yellow) and you will be allowed to try and revive the Holy Bird. At the next prompt, choose the first option of the two and the Holy Bird will be revealed! Now return to where Hack is to release him before making your way back to the Chief’s house again and back to the altar. Talk to Hack here and he’ll advise you to go investigate Tsurebena Wastelands. Finally, exit out of the village and head towards the Flame Holders you passed by before. You should take your time to listen to your skits, if you don’t already do, because a series of really funny conversations will ensue ^^ Anyway, enter any of the Flame Holders and a scene will play out. We’re going to have to light the “heart” and “wings” so make sure to light the one on the middle Flame Holder, which represents the heart, and the ones on the sides, which would be the wings. You should be able to figure out which they are, as on the sand, if you notice very carefully, there is a faint drawing of a bird. If you end up lightning the wrong one, nothing will happen, so no worries. You’ll find it eventually. When you’re done with your task, the next dungeon will pop up. Head to it. =============================================================================== Shrine of Fenia [ToR2J] =============================================================================== o~~Item Checklist: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~o | Buravasu Poison Charm | | Life Bottle Lavander | | Apple Gummy Kyuraba | | Ruby of Fire (storyline) Buerosuteru | o~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~o Alright, well after the scene, head inside for another short one. Looks like it’s Mao’s turn... There will be a puzzle in this room, and it’s quite simple. Step on the square buttons and make the red arrow point to the left, towards the empty basin. Then, use Mao’s force on the small open pillar thing on the lower right and a staircase will be revealed. Follow it to the next room for another scene. Continue on to the next room, which after a while will split into a fork. First take the lower right path to obtain a BURAVASU armor for Veigue, before taking the left path to the next screen. This puzzle will be a little harder, so pay close attention. You see which square is currently pressed? You’re going to have to step on the one to the left of it when I warn you in a second. Now, light the pillar thing and wait for it to pass the first red arrow, then step on the switch I mentioned earlier. When the flame passes through the second red arrow quickly step on the switch below the one you pressed before (the one between two yellow arrows). Another staircase will open up, so follow it to the next room and you’ll see another scene. After continue following the path until you reach the next room. In here there will be a three-way fork up ahead. First head forward to pick up a POISON CHARM from the chest. Backtrack and take the lower path to obtain a LIFE BOTTLE from another chest. Lastly, take the upper path to the next screen and you’ll see fire. A lot of fire. And we’re gonna have to put it out. But in order. First of all go read the Stone Tablet on the left. Then use Mao’s Force to take out the third flame from the right. Advance, and take out the second flame from the right before pressing the pink switch to reset the flames. Now take out the flame that’s behind you all by itself to reach the other pink switch. However, there will be another flame on your way that you’ll have to shoot first. Now step the switch and the flames will reset again. Face south (the direction of the Stone Tablet) and hit the second flame from the left this time. Head down and now hit the fourth flame from the left to return to where you were before. Facing north this time, hit the fourth flame from the left. Finally, hit the flame on the right to finish this puzzle. Check out the Stone Tablet here and you’ll regain your health (in case you lost any). Also, you’ll notice that when you examine the tablet, the flames surrounding the chest here will turn green momentarily. Shoot all four of them to be able to reach it and you’ll receive a LAVENDER herb. Now exit out of this room and into another scene. So that was Mao’s purpose, huh... Interesting. The room will immediately begin with a three-way fork. First, head up to pick up that barely visible chest containing an APPLE GUMMY and then up into the next room. Follow the path and you’ll see a chest with a KYURABA tonfa for Mao. Go ahead and equip it as it has fairly good stats, before continuing to follow the path. You’ll end back in the previous room. Now take the remaining path to end up in a room with a Save Point. Use it before continuing on ahead. This will be the last puzzle of this dungeon. You’ll have to shoot fire repeatedly, not directly at the altar, but a little bit more to the right of it. This will attract the floating thing on the right so keep at it until it approaches it and a bridge will form. You will meet with Fenia in the next room and it’ll be Boss Battle time...just kidding! Watch the following scenes attentively and you’ll receive the RUBY OF FIRE. Also, Mao will be able to use the skill Blazing Hearts, and he will also receive the title ONE WHO WAS CREATED, which has a +2 HP Regeneration bonus, and also CHILD OF FIRE, which has a +4 Slash Defense Power bonus. However, he will also lose his BOY WITH AMNESIA title. Exit the dungeon. Like last time, if you feel like enduring the annoyingness of this dungeon again, reenter this place again and head to the last room to obtain a BUEROSUTERU armor for Mao. Now return to Pipista. Head directly to the Chief’s house to find out that Hack has already left back to Razilda. Exit the town and a scene will ensue. Agarte is alive! And it looks like we’ll be able to meet her in Razilda. Awesome, let’s head over ASAP! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *SIDEQUEST #9* Enhancement Obsession? However, let’s do a small sub-event first. Walk up to the Shrine of Fernia, but don’t enter the dungeon. Instead face in the SW direction and walk towards the Flame Holder in that direction. There will be a man here who will upgrade Hilda and Annie’s armors. Talk to him and after saying YES a list of options will appear. He’ll be asking you for a Refinishing Stone so pick any of the options except the very last one, as that will cancel the deal. Do this twice and you’ll receive Hilda’s REFREL robe and Annie’s WEDDING DRESS. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- After, just head back to Pipista and talk to you-know-who to get to Razilda (unless you wanna walk through the swamp again...) =============================================================================== Razilda [ToR2K] =============================================================================== As soon as you enter you’ll spot Hack running away from something. Looks like he’s in trouble! ...again. Follow him to the left screen and talk to the angry goat-like Gajuma there for a scene. After, we’ll have to head to Fogma’s house. He’s the Chief of the Gajuma, in case you don’t remember. After that scene, head back to the first screen and you’ll spot Igol standing in front of the Inn. Talk to him to continue. Our next destination is the Shrine of Eephon. Ugh, I know, traveling all the way back over there... It might be easier to head there from Pipista, but that’s your call. Sadly, we can’t go and meet up with Agarte. Ah well, until next time. Btw, if you re-enter the first screen of this town again, there will be a black-haired girl here standing next to the cowboy-hat-man. Talk to her as she is one of the girls that was kidnapped by Agarte earlier, and a scene with Claire will play out. After, head to the Zeren Wetlands Spring again. =============================================================================== Zeren Wetlands Spring [ToR2L] =============================================================================== As soon as you enter you’ll see Iga being an a-hole as usual. After the scene, take the lower left exit to the next room, and in here take the lower right exit to find Hack. You’ll have a fight before you can reach him, but no worries, it’s just a normal battle. After the scenes, check the wall nearby to get an APPLE GUMMY and then head back to Razilda. =============================================================================== Razilda [ToR2M] =============================================================================== Whaaaat the heck happened in here! Geez, this town is insane. Well, after leaving Hack and Igol in the Inn with Claire, we’ll have to find the two village leaders to sort this mess out. Head to Fogma’s house and then take the western path to find everyone fighting. Thankfully, Milhaust will arrive just in time to settle the disputes... although with Saleh and Tomah in tow. Weird. Well lets head back to the Inn to talk to Hack about our next move. Duuuude Claire and Agarte almost saw each other! So close! More importantly, Idon’t get how we missed seeing Agarte. Where the heck did she go? Well let’s head upstairs to meet Hack. He’ll be in the only room you can enter. I guess the other one is where Agarte is. In any case, he’ll tell you to head north to the mountains of Kyogen. Head out of the Inn to meet up with Saleh before exiting the town. And of course Agarte will finally come out of her room there. Gah. At least she’ll be following you to Kyogen... From Razilda, head east until you hit the swamp. Once there, head in the northern direction, past a Farm Fresh Groceries location, until you arrive at the Great Pokunan Bridge. Enter it and talk to the guard for a scene and you’ll receive a PASS which will allow you to well, pass. Once back in the World Map, continue forward and you will find another DISCOVERY SPOT, a “Waji” and the picture will be of some very green lands. Follow the narrow path until you arrive at a clearing again. From here head in the NW direction and you will spot Kyogen. =============================================================================== Kyogen [ToR2N] =============================================================================== This place is veeery Japanese-y. Definitely one of my favourite towns in this game, design-wise. However, before we continue on, let’s do some more side-quests finally, eh? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *SIDEQUEST #8* The Stone Tablets in the Mesechina Cavern, Part 2 of 6 (No Rewards) *SIDEQUEST #10* Walt and Eugene (No Rewards) Once again, feel free to skip over this if you wish, as neither of these sub- events will reward you with any items or titles. Now, talk to the cowboy-hat-man to return to Razilda, and from there head to the Harbor to take a ship to Balka’s. Once there, first of head to the Mesechina Caverns to talk to Hack once more. Then, return to Balka and head to the Karegia Castle. Talk to the purple guard here and he’ll tell you about GRADE, which will just go under the BATTLE BOOK settings as usual. Anyway, head up the stairs and you’ll bump into Walt there, and he and Eugene will talk. With that one, you can go ahead and return to Kyogen now. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Now that we’re back on Kyogen, you see that long red bridge leading to the left screen? Take it. This screen will have only one building, which is the Inn. Enter it and examine the steaming dumplings to obtain the FRUIT CHEESE recipe. And here I was actually hoping for some dumplings... oh well. Sleep in the Inn twice to unlock some more skits. One will be of Annie having a “nightmare” of killing Eugene...The other will be about Mao dreaming of his mom. Now head out of the Inn and continue on to the left. Talk to the woman here, as she is another one of the kidnapped girls. After, enter the door on the back if you desire to stock up on items or accessories. Otherwise, just enter the other door and talk to the man there for a scene. The “Garden of Illusion” is what we’re looking for apparently, and it also looks like someone else is searching for it. Head to the Inn again and you’ll find who the culprit is. It’s our old friend Frantz! He’ll advise us to go talk to Wan Gin, the leader of this town, so exit out of the Inn, head right into the first screen and take the northern path to Wan’s house. After some scenes, you’ll agree to guard some items for him for a bit in exchange for information about the Garden of Illusion. Head to the Inn for now for a scene with Frantz, before saving and returning to Wan’s house. After some more scenes, you’ll notice that Cla- I mean, Agarte is also in this place, being held hostage ONCE AGAIN, alongside with Claire who was kidnapped right under our noses. Yeah. Anyway, you’re going to have to split your party up so aside from Veigue, pick 2 additional characters to take with you. Their names will be displayed in this order. Veigue Mao Eugene Annie Tytree Hilda Finally Party There are three people we have to pick up. One will be outside the Item/Accessory Store, another will be outside the Inn (he won’t go with you if you have Eugene in your party), and the last one will be at the entrance of the town. Once you finished picking them all up, $h!t will hit the fan once again. Both Claire and Agarte will be kidnapped by bandits, which had been disguised at customers! Enter Wan’s place and go to the room where “Agarte” and those other girls were being kept for another scene, before heading to the first screen of the town. Frantz will be there and he’ll tell you in what direction the bandits went. Now exit town and head in the eastern direction, towards that small group of trees ahead. Before you get there though a battle will trigger and you’ll have to fight some bandits, who will direct you to the cabin up ahead. Enter the Kyogen Hostel and you’ll find “Claire” there. Predictably, she won’t say anything about you-know-who also being kidnapped, but whatever. Let’s head back to Kyogen. Enter Wan’s house again and cheer Veigue on! He totally beat Tytree to the punch there (literally)! Luckily, we still got the information we wanted. Our next destination is Nolzen! But first head towards the Inn where you’ll meet one of the recently kidnapped girls, and seriously? I can’t believe “Claire” didn’t get found out by this point ._. Anyway, continue on the left and you’ll find Frantz outside the Item Store. Talk to him for one last scene and then exit out of town. Once in the World Map, head back to the Kyogen Hostel and talk to the man inside. If you give him some Refining Powder, he’ll give you a weapon. I’m not sure if it varies but I got a YUWANYAN for Tytree. From Kyogen, head west until you see a small downward hill and a chest with an ONION TICKET. Continue heading down and then start following the narrower path until you come across a bridge. Once past it, the land will be all snowy. Head in the northeastern direction and follow the path, then start heading more towards the northwestern direction until you arrive at your destination. =============================================================================== Nolzen [ToR2O] =============================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *SIDEQUEST #2* Mobile Library, Part 4 of 18 *SIDEQUEST #3* Completion Old Man, Part 7-9 of 16 As soon as you enter Nolzen, you can additionally continue the Mobile Library quest. You’ll have to go back to Minal first, as usual, and speak to the guy on the second floor of the library. It’s a bit troublesome to return there at this time, but just in case you forgot how to, first get to Razilda via cowboy-hat-man, then walk to the Harbor to take a ship to Minal. Once here, don’t forget to also pay the Gymnasium a visit and talk to the Completion Old Man to receive a PEACH GUMMY, a CHAMOMILE herb, and a MOUKO SPIRIT TALISMAN, which changes Veigue’s Reppashou skill to Kogahazan. Afterwards, you’ll have to inconveniently return to Kyogen in the same manner. Your target here is the old man who told you about the Garden of Illusion, so head to his house which is on the far left of this town. Once you received the book, return to Minal’s Library to hand it off. That will be it for now. However, before heading back to Nolzen, there’s two more small tasks you can do if you so wish to. This is not really part of any important event, and you also won’t get anything out of it aside from some dialogue, but since we’re in a port town, we might as well, right? If you visit Sannytown, towards the northern exit there are two girls looking out the bridge. Talking to them will reveal they are Claire’s fellow kidnapped girls. If you visit Babilograd, head north of the Inn, towards the Temple and you’ll spot a girl standing by herself. She’ll be another one of the kidnapped girls. That will be all. You can head to Nolzen now. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This place is definitely no Flanoir, but still, snowy cities are always pretty (: Now, there are two houses here on the first screen. First, enter the one on the left and examine the pot to learn the BORSCH recipe. After, exit and head to the north. Speak to the lone girl standing in front of a statue as she will be another one of Claire’s acquaintances. Sleeping at the Inn here will unlock a skit about Hilda’s Dream. Otherwise head to the right and get some upgrades from the Weapon Store. The northern path will also lead to an Equipment store, btw. Anyway, when you’re done exploring, head left from the Equipment Store and enter the lone house there. Talking to the man inside will trigger a scene. After head back to the Inn as it looks like Eugene isn’t feeling to well... Oddly enough, he’ll leave instead of rest, and soon after there will be some sort of commotion going on outside. Exit the Inn and head out of the town to find Eugene fighting against some Viruses. Hmm. After the scenes are done, head out of town once more. Our next destination is the Tower of Nolzen. I apologize in advance if my directions aren’t the best, but traveling in this continent is a pain and a half. Anyway, from Nolzen, head in the northeastern direction until you find another Farm Fresh Groceries location. From here head SE until you notice a fork in your minimap. Take the right path (south on the compass) into that dead end and you should find another DISCOVERY SPOT. This picture should show you some snowy landscapes, much like our surroundings. Anyway return to the fork, and from here head northwest. You should eventually find a big clearing. There will be a chest with a CHEESE TICKET nearby the Nereg Hostel, and the Tower of Nereg will be directly east from there. =============================================================================== Tower of Nereg [ToR2P] =============================================================================== o~~Item Checklist: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~o | Hyuberion Weak Charm | | Sunny Robe Hourglass | | Mental Topaz Earth Powder | | Apple Gummy Chenkunche | o~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~o Alright! A new dungeon~ I’ll warn you here that the enemies in this place can be a bit tough depending on your level. I would recommend being around level 47, personally. Now head inside and watch the scenes before continuing forward. This room should have two little staircases and you’ll want to take the upper left one first to obtain a HYUBERION staff for Eugene. Then, return to the fork and take the lower right this time. Pass the following screen and you’ll end up in a room with a green circle in the middle. Step on it to head up. From here, take the upper left exit to find a mini-boss. You’ll have to fight 3 Suterucobu, all which have 11,131 HP. It shouldn’t be too tough though. After, head left again and into another green portal. Head right twice from here to find two chests. The one at the bottom will have a WEAK CHARM, and the one at the top will have a SUNNY RAIN robe for Annie. Then, take the northern stairs to find another room with a green circle. You know the drill. Afterwards, head left again to fight another mini-boss. This time you’ll have to fight four Albatrosses(?). This fight will be easier imo, as they have only 8734 HP. When the fight is done, head to the next room and ride the green elevator once more. Then, exit to the following screen and open the nearby treasure chest to obtain an HOURGLASS. There will be a Save Point in this room as well, and I suggest you use it before exiting to the next screen. Just continue heading up from here until you encounter a blonde girl dressed in red, who is in fact your next mini-boss. She’ll turn into six Puddles whom will each have 6136 HP. Piece of cake. After, continue heading forward until the next scene plays out. You’re in for a big surprise... And of course, it’ll be Boss Battle time. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- BOSSES: Ginnal (Beserk) HP: 8720 Yusia (Beserk) HP: 8420 Drumb (Beserk) HP: 10542 My level: 47 Go after Yusia first. Not only does she have lower HP, but her spells can get annoying. Afterwards you can go after Ginnal if you want, but personally I went after Drumb. By the time I was done with him my party had already finished off Ginnal on their own. Considering their HP, this battle won’t take too long. However, the rewards are very plentiful and very awesome. You’ll receive an Elixir, a Skill Refine Stone, an Estoc sword for Veigue, a Nature Topaz, a Sage herb, and a Switch Gummy, as well as 25599 EXP, and 9000 Gald. Not bad, right? =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Afterwards, watch the scenes that ensue to thankfully find out that this dungeon was not just a diversion. The real dungeon has been unveiled! Super. Now, before we head back to Nolzen, examine the two chests here that contain a MENTAL TOPAZ and some EARTH POWDER. There will also be another chest hiding behind one of the nearby pillars, which will have an APPLE GUMMY. Finally exit this tower. If you care to obtain a weapon for Tytree called CHENKUNCHE, then head back to the seventh screen where you fought the first guardians of this tower (the stone/metal Golems), and check the upper left side of the screen. Finally, exit out of this place. You can do a couple of things now. First, if you head to the Nereg Hostel there will be a lengthy but rewarding mini-game available. I would recommend heading there and completing the first part of it, but leaving the rest for later as it’s quite hard. Additionally, a sidequest will open up. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *MINIGAME #3 ALERT* After exiting the Tower, head directly west and enter Nereg Hostel. Talk to the man inside and you’ll be taken inside of his “dream”. This mini-game is called Panic Dreamer. The stars on top of your head are your HP. Basically, the point of this game is to avoid all the obstacles, and in the later stages, additionally eliminate your opponents. You can watch the tutorial to have an idea of what is expected of you. Trust nothing, avoid everything. There will # Dreams, and there will be a tutorial for each of the missions. Also, BE CAREFUL AND AVOID ACCIDENTALLY PRESSING X CARELESSLY. Once you exit out of a stage you need to start from the beginning ALL OVER AGAIN. D: *First Dream* Stage One, Greenlands Mission One- Survive alone for 30 seconds. Stage Two, Public Bath Mission One- Survive vs. Ginnal Mission Two- Survive vs. Yusia and Drumb Mission Three-Survive vs. The Dark Wings *Second Dream* Stage One, Greenlands Mission One, Survive with Mao for 90 seconds Clearing the 5th Mission in the second dream will get you the Dream Clear title. Clearing all 30 Free Stages will get everyone the Mister/Miss Perfect title. This is one of the hardest mini-games in this game, and personally I haven't even finished it yet, therefore the incomplete section. Again, I would recommend returning to do this one later and continue on with the story for now. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *SIDEQUEST #11* Auction This is another rather lengthy but rewarding sub-event. It is missable, so you should get it over with as soon as you can. However, due to its tediousness, it’s understandable to want to do it in parts, so I will warn you later on when this quest will no longer be available. First of all, we need to return to Balka. Unfortunately, Nolzen currently does not offer a quick way to do this, so we’re going to have to walk back to Kyogen on our own. Once in Kyogen, talk to Mr. Cowboy-hat-man and head to Razilda. From there walk to the Harbor and take a ship to Balka’s. Finally, once in Balka, enter the Museum which is located west of the first screen. Speak to the Curator (guy behind the counter) inside and say yes twice. Your job here is to retrieve 8 items for the museum, which are being sold at Kyogen’s Auctions. The items will be at random, and you’ll have to pay for them out of your own pocket. You will be reimbursed by the museum once you give them the items however. We’ll have to return to Kyogen now. Once there, talk to Wan Gin and the Auction will begin. Using the TRIANGLE button you will raise the price by 50%. The SQUARE button will raise the price up by 5% The X button will end the auction (you will give up). The items you need to retrieve are: a Milk Can, a Bush Baby Statue, an Armor, a Painting, a Golden Frying Pan with a Silver Egg, a Cello, a Fabric, and a Dress. The items might not show up immediately, so you’ll have to exit the town and reenter it again (or sleep at the Inn) to start a new auction. Once you receive one of the 8 items you’ll have to go back and return it to the Curator. For more information, please refer to lanyn’s “Battle Mechanics/Sub Events” guide.Getting all 8 Requested items will gain your party their Auction Specialist title, and you will receive an HOURGLASS from the curator. Additionally, examining the items at the museum will gain a title for each of your characters. Veigue: “Auction Specialist” +2 HP Recovery "Pondering Youth" +3 Skill Defense Power Mao: “Auction Specialist” +2 Skill Defense Power “Cute Stuff Lover” +4 Thrust Defense Power Eugene: “Auction Specialist” +3 Slash Attack Power “Loyal Subject” +5 Skill Attack Power Annie: “Auction Specialist” +2 Thrust Defense Power “Critic” +4 Slash Defense Power Tytree: “Auction Specialist” +3 Slash Attack Power “True Chef” +3 HP Regeneration Hilda: “Auction Specialist” +2 Thrust Defense Power “Cello Player” +4 Slash Defense Power Additionally, Claire will also receive the title “Honest Girl” and Agarte will receive the title “Gorgeous Lady” ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Finally, do head back to Nolzen to continue the storyline. It’s been long enough. =============================================================================== Nolzen [ToR2Q] =============================================================================== Once you enter Nolzen you’ll notice that the people have been segregated once more. Looks like another fight broke out while we were in the Tower of Nereg. Well, head to the port, which is in the left screen from the Inn, and talk to the solider there. You’ll be told that ships are currently unavailable... again! In that moment, Misha, the Gajuma we met in Minal in what seems like ages ago, will appear. After a short greeting he’ll run along to the Inn to meet Dr. Curia.. we should follow him as well and see if they can help us get a ship. Head up the stairs of the Inn to meet them to incur a scene. Afterwards, head out of the Inn and towards the northeastern part of town, where the Equipment Store is. After that scene we’re going to have to treat a couple of patients. I wonder if Annie will be able to handle it...? Head to the Inn first until Misha comes running in. The soldier from before is in a critical state! Let’s head to the first screen, fast! After some more scenes, Annie will finally get over her prejudice, although at the cost of someone’s life...But we might still be able to save the solider. First we need to find Hilda. She’ll be in the only other house in this screen, so get her and return to Annie. After our miraculous success, we’ll have to go around town curing the rest of the soldiers. It should be around 5 more patients. Once done, you’ll end up in the middle of town. Dr. Curia will give you some wonderful news. We have a ship!!! Now we can travel anywhere we want! Yaaay! Head to the port to receive it! Alright, so a few things to note first. Move forward with the CIRCLE Button, move backwards with SQUARE, get off the boat with X (you must be near the shoreline), and lastly, there ARE random encounters while on the boat. With that said, sail SE from Nolzen towards the Bayo Plains. The place is really close, you shouldn’t have to sail for more than 10 seconds. The Tower will be in plain sight, so walk to it. =============================================================================== Tower of Wontiga [ToR2R] =============================================================================== o~~Item Checklist: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~o | Green Liquid Chamomile | | Akyuibasu Anaru | | Apple Gummy Wing Diamond (storyline) | | Savory | o~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~o Finally, the next trial! I wonder whose turn it will be this time? The first puzzle you are faced with is pretty simple. Step on the 1 (I) of the clock and then continue stepping on the rest of the numbers in a clockwise order. Once you hear a click, step on the 12 (XII) and then step on the rest of the numbers in a counterclockwise manner. A staircase will appear. Follow the path until you trigger a cutscene. Guess we now know whose turn it is. Just head up into the next hallway and you’ll return to the Tower of Wontiga. In this room you’ll finally be able to make use of Annie’s Force. A notice will pop up explaining what to do. “You can spin the waterwheel using Annie's Force of Rain. If you continue to hold down the Force Button (SQUARE Button), the range of the precipitation will increase. The rain will fall when you release the button. Stop the waterwheel using the CIRCLE button. You can spin the waterwheel as many times as you want using the Force of Rain. Stopping the wheel on the yellow mark will bring you to a treasure chest. Red will allow you to progress further into the dungeon. The rest of the colors bring you to dead ends.” –lanyn’s translation guide. Yellow leads to GREEN LIQUID. Red advances you. Let’s get going. After the scene, you’ll be in a new room. The chest at the top contains a CHAMOMILE herb, and the one on the right contains an armor for Eugene called AKYUIBASU. You’ll have to step on the three white switches to be able to continue to the next screen. Be careful of the wind and time your jumps. Continue ahead until you find a similar room. Do the same here as before. The chest on the right contains a staff for Annie called ANARU. At the upper left there is also a path that leads to a chest with an APPLE GUMMY. (Bet you freaked out about being stuck huh? No worries, the hole leads to the previous screen.) Continue on until you find a Save Point. Use it and head to the next screen for another scene. Examine the statue in the middle and fire will begin to come out of all of the holes on the ground. Put them all out using Annie’s Force and the way to the next screen will open up. Finally, you’ll reach the last room of the tower. The Sacred Beast in this tower kind of reminds me of a Pokémon, don’t you agree? Lol. Well, here we’ll finally find out about the truth behind Barrs’ death, although something still seems fishy... After the scenes you’ll receive the WING DIAMOND. Now exit the dungeon for one last scene, and Annie and Eugene’s Hi-Ougi “Shouharekkousen” will become available. Annie will also lose her titles “Girl of Vengeance” and “Gajuma Hater”. You will also be automatically transported back to Nolzen. Talking to the guard will allow you to board our boat. Talking to the Sailor will allow you to simply ride to Belsas, our next destination. Talk to the former if you wish to reenter the last room of the previous dungeon. Examining the emblem there will fetch you a SAVORY herb. If not, simply pick the later. And of course, just as we head inside, “Agarte” will make an appearance. The frustration...! =============================================================================== Belsas’ Harbor [ToR2S] =============================================================================== Just exit from here. Once in the World Map you’ll be able to spot a couple things. First off, there will be a brown chest with a LIFE BOTTLE (surprising, right?) up ahead. There will also be another Farm Fresh Groceries location nearby, and another chest with a SHRIMP TICKET. Lastly, following the path will lead you straight to Belsas. =============================================================================== Belsas [ToR2T] =============================================================================== In Belsas, we’ll meet Susie. We met her back in Sannytown way back when, remember? After Susie leaves we’ll also get a glimpse of “Agarte”. Could it possibly be that we will finally be able to meet face-to-face with her? In any case, after the scenes head into the Weapon Store on the left to upgrade your weapons and whatnot. It’s been a while. Then, head up into the next screen. There will be an Item Store here as well, so stock up if needed. Head north from this screen to trigger another scene. Afterwards enter the Inn to save and stock up on food. Doing the latter will allow you to learn the POTATO SALAD recipe. Finally, head north one last time and speak to the man there. Susie is rich! Go figure. The POV will then switch to Agarte for a while. We’ll have to head west of the Inn and past the bridge to arrive at the Belsas Slums. After the scene, talk to all the Gajuma gathered in the next screen before speaking with Janie again. Another scene will play out, and then the POV will switch back to Veigue’s. Watch the scenes play out before returning to the Inn. And sigh in frustration as we miss meeting Agarte by a mere second...again. Well, once you’re back in control, head towards the bridge once more for another scene before heading back to Susie’s Mansion. I don’t know about you but I’m getting excited here. It looks like we’ll finally be able to meet with Agarte! Let’s head back to the Inn one last time before exiting it. Watch the scenes play out. Holy Crap. Take a few seconds to take in that marvelous cutscene. When you’re finally back in control, head to the first screen of the town and approach Milhaust. It looks like he wasn’t able to catch up with Agarte... Well, we don’t have time to go after her ourselves as we still have a task to do. Let’s exit out of town and do some sidequests! (You can see Susie throw a small fit if you visit her, btw) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *SIDEQUEST #12* Jewel Collector Woman *SIDEQUEST #13* Donnell Once Again (No Rewards) *SIDEQUEST #1* Monica and Steve, Part 3 of 4 *SIDEQUEST #2* Mobile Library, Part 5-6 of 18 *SIDEQUEST #3* Completion Old Man, Part 10 of 16 *SIDEQUEST #8* The Stone Tablets in the Mesechina Cavern, Part 3 of 6 (NR) So many things to do! Let’s start with heading towards Belsas’ Harbor. In here there will be a woman who will give you the DISTRANGE weapon for Tytree, and the GERYION weapon for Annie if you give her any two jewels. After speaking with her, take a ship to Nolzen, and from there, talk to Mr. C to get to Kyogen. In Wan Gin’s Mansion, enter the room where Claire and the other girls had been kept in before to find…Donnell? What is he doing there? Talking to the people in the room will give you some light on that. After that, either return to Nolzen or head to Razilda to take a ship to Minal. In here, talk to Mr. C to get to Sulz. As usual, talk to Steve in the Weapon Store, and then Monica in the Assembly Hall. Once again, that will be all. Now return to Minal. Visit the Gymnasium like always and talk to the Completion Old Man. This time you’ll receive a GRAPE GUMMY. Now head to the Library and do the usual. This time we’ll have to collect a book in Nolzen, so take a ship there and enter the right house that’s next to the Inn. Talk to the angry old man inside and you’ll receive the book. Now return to Minal’s Library to hand it off. Talking to the Librarian again will open up another quest. This time he’ll want you to go the Belsas. Let’s head there now via ship, and once there, enter the house that’s east from the Item Store. Talk to the blue-haired woman inside to receive the book and return to Minal’s Library to hand it off. Finally, head to the Mesechina Cavern to talk to Hack and he’ll tell you a bit more about the Stone Tablets. With that, we’ll be done with all these sidequests. Now take a ship to Babilograd’s Harbor to continue with the storyline. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Once here, take the lift up to the town. Head to the screen that has the Inn to trigger a scene. After, continue north and enter the Shrine. =============================================================================== Shrine of Blue [ToR2U] =============================================================================== o~~Item Checklist: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~o | Life Bottle Vital Burner | | Ekusuverun Aqua Powder | | Fight Topaz Apple Gummy | | Slash Refine Stone Water Aquamarine (storyline) | | Dark Powder | o~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~o Head down the stairs and into the dungeon. You’ll immediately encounter these blue bubbles in your way which you can freeze over with Veigue’s Force (otherwise they’ll freeze you instead). Head forward to the next screen and Veigue’s trial will begin. At the fork, take the upper path first to get a LIFE BOTTLE from a chest, then continue until the next fork and take the lower path for a VITAL BURNER armor for Mao. Then, move on to the next screen. Here, head up the first stairs to obtain an EKUSUVERUN sword for Veigue, and down the next stairs, to open a chest with some AQUA POWDER. The last chest contains a FIGHT TOPAZ. Now head to the next screen. Get rid of the bubbles in your way to find a Save Spot as well as another fork. Save, get the chest hidden behind the Save Spot containing an APPLE GUMMY, and then head down to pick up a GRAPE GUMMY from another chest before exiting to the next screen. The puzzle here is simple. All you have to do is freeze all the water that pops up to unlock the door. Also, pick up the chest here to obtain a SLASH REFINE STONE. Head to the next room to finally meet Shaorune. We’re going to have to fight him, but he’ll be kind enough to give us some time to heal, save again, enhance our weapons and whatnot. When you’re finally ready, approaching him and it’ll be Boss Battle time. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- BOSS: Shaorune HP: 70000 My level: 48 Shaorune, as you can probably tell already, is a water elemental, so do avoid using water spells. He’s weak against fire, so feel free to exploit that. I brought both Mao and Hilda along specifically for this reason. Annie, as always, is a must to bring. Have her heal often as Shaorune’s attacks can pack quite a punch. A few minutes into the fight, he will also use a skill that will inflict a lot of damage to all of your party, so make sure you are ready for that. You might be able to end this fight with a Hi-Ougi, as per usual. You’ll receive a Protect Refine, some Aqua Powder along with 44575 EXP and 12000 Gald. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- You will also receive the WATER AQUAMARINE, and Veigue’s Houryuumueiken skill will become available. Not to mention, Shaorune will now be available for use. We can pretty much ride him anywhere. He’s this game’s best mode of transportation. Now head out of the dungeon. If you’d like to receive some DARK POWDER, enter it again and head to the last room as usual to check the blue emblem there. In any case, when you head out of the city, Shaorune will pick you up. Take your time to enjoy the skits, and then let’s do some sidequests! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *SIDEQUEST #14* Milista and Hilda (No Rewards) *SIDEQUEST #15* Girl With the Force of Feather, Part 1 of 3 *SIDEQUEST #16* Peeking Katz (No Rewards) *SIDEQUEST #2* Mobile Library, Part 7-12 of 18 (This part of is glitch-y and might not work, but don’t worry, you can still complete parts 13-18 to get the reward, and the only thing you’re missing out on is a GRAPE GUMMY) *MINIGAME #4* Playing with the Rabbitz, Part 1 of 6 ***First, let me explain how to control Shaorune. If you are on the ground and wish to fly, press the SQUARE button and you will get an option to then press the CIRCLE button. This will get you up in the air. Now to fly forward use the CIRCLE button, and to fly backwards use SQUARE. X is to land. You can turn using the left/right direction or L1/R1. You can also use the up/down to ascend and descend. That will be the basics of it.*** Alright, first of all let’s head to Karez (north side). Let’s make use of our new transportation device and head west from here until you get there. Enter and head to the sixth area of this dungeon until you see some stairs. Head up and you’ll see Milista. Talk to her for a scene and we’ll be done here. Now exit out of here and get back into the air again. Out next destination is nearby Nolzen, so let’s get there first. Nolzen is kind of NE from here. You’ll recognize the area when you’re there in any case. Once you find Nolzen, fly east until you spot a small green patch on top of the mountains. That will be the Lenpao Sky Garden. Enter it. In this place you’ll have to float! It makes “walking” a little inconvenient, but only a little. Keep heading forward and you will eventually find a house. Enter it to meet Ninon, a bird-like girl Gajuma. After some talking, the girl will give you a LEMON GUMMY. Eugene will also receive his “Good Leader” title which has a +3 Skill Defense Power bonus. Now exit out of this place and reenter it again. Head to the back once more to speak to Ninon. After the scene, exit this place again. This time we’ll have to head to the Toyohose Hostel, (near Petnadjanka), to pick up some mushrooms. The Toyohose Hostel should be kind southwest from here. You might have to do a bit more flying around. In any case, enter the Hostel and head towards the forest. Pick up 7 of the spotted mushrooms (Veigue will alert you when you have enough) before heading back to the Sky Garden. Hand them over to Ninon for another scene and you’ll receive a SYRUP BOTTLE this time along with Tytree’s “Cooking Instructor” title which has a +3 Skill Defense Power bonus. Exit the Sky Garden and reenter it again. You will notice that there are now mushrooms growing outside of Ninon’s house. Examine them for a scene before going inside to talk to her. Hilda will now receive her “Woman Who Understands Loneliness” title, which has a +3 Thrust Defense Power bonus. Our next destination is Minal. You must have already completed the first 6 parts of the Mobile Library Quest before continuing on. Once in Minal, head to the Library and talk to the guy on the top floor. Say YES when prompted and a list will pop up. Pick the ninth option to borrow that book and head back to the Sky Garden. After handing the book to Ninon, exit the Sky Garden before reentering it again. Talk to Ninon to get the book back and then head back to Minal to return it (it’s the second option). This will trigger a scene at the Library. With this we’ll be done with Ninon for now. Since we’re already in Minal, now’s a good time to continue the Mobile Library quest. Speak to the Librarian again to borrow some more books. From now on, instead of retrieving books, we’re going to be delivering books to people, and later on returning them to the library. The good thing about this is that we can check out up to three books at a time, so it saves us some time traveling back and forth, if only a little. When the list of books opens up, choose to borrow the first, sixth, and ninth books before exiting the town. Our next destination is the Keketto Hostel, NW from here. Enter it and talk to the Huma peddler here to lend him one of the books. Exit the Hostel and then re-enter it again to get the book back. Now head to the Alvan Mountains. Enter the cabin where you once rested way back at the beginning of this game to find a Gajuma there. Lend him another one of the books, exit this place, and get the book back from him. Next up, head to the Tel Alla Highway Hostel, which is near Sannytown (this is where you first fought Hilda). Talk to the Huma here to lend him a book, and well... you know the routine by now. After getting the book back, you’ll also be rewarded with a GRAPE GUMMY. Awesome! Anyway from here head back to Minal and talk to the Librarian. It’s time to borrow a couple more books. This time take the third and fourth books and exit out of town. Now head to Razilda and talk to the little girl that sells flowers. Lend her the book, get it back, move on. Head to Nolzen. Remember that angry old man who lives in the house next to the Inn? Do the usual and then finally head back to Minal. We’ll be done with this quest for now. However, before leaving Minal, head into the shop and buy 15 Beckoning Cats. You’ll have to use Eugene as your on-screen characters or else no one will sell you anything... >.< The next sub-event is in the Rabbitz Village. It took me a while to find this place, and during my search I stumbled upon yet another DISCOVERY SPOT in this small patch of green behind Sulz. There will be a lone tree here. You can’t miss it. The “discovery” this time will be KINOBURIBUTA, which I think is translated into a tree-climbing pig. In any case, the Rabbitz Village is NW from Nolzen. It will be in a very small snowy island. This place is much like the other Tales Games’ Katz Village. Now, enter the only house here and speak to the Katz on the right. He’ll want you to hand over 15 Beckoning Cats, which you should have already bought before, and in exchange he’ll show you what each of your characters their “Joke Weapons” are! Sadly, you won’t actually get the weapon. That’s part of another quest. In any case, each time you give him 15 BC’s he’ll show you one of the weapons. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *MINIGAME #4 ALERT* Lastly, speaking to the middle Rabbitz outside will allow you to play a game. When the options pop up, choose the first one to continue. You’ll have to arrange the order of the characters shown. The first one will be: Mao, Eugene, Veigue. Press the TRIANGLE button to input your answer. This will allow you to unlock the Skit Viewing Theater. However you will only be allowed to see the skits from the beginning of the game. The more “games” you beat, the more skits you can unlock! However, for now, this is all you can do. If you wish to see the skits you’ve unlocked, talk to the Rabbitz again and chose the fourth option. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Now that we’re finally done with all of this, enter Nolzen and head to the middle of the town. Talk to Frantz here for a scene and a “password screen” will pop up. There are two passwords you could use to continue. One of them is KAADO, and the other is TAROTTO. Like before, just try to find the characters in the menu and then press the TRIANGLE to finish inputting it. Keep in mind that this time we’ll be writing in Katakana, the characters that are in the right side of the screen. Afterwards, exit out of town and fly Northeast from here. It’s not too far from here, but it might be a bit hard to spot the village, as it’s attached to the mountain and is kind of hidden by the trees. In any case, enter the village a scene will trigger. =============================================================================== Mocrado Village [ToR2V] =============================================================================== Entering the red house here will trigger another scene. After it, head to the back room and examine the spot left of the wooden doors to obtain the PAELLA recipe. Exit out of the house. Next, enter the Inn, which is the kind of hidden building on the left. Talk to the bear-like Gajuma inside and to trigger a couple of skits. Save, stock up on food, rest if needed, and exit the Inn. On the right side of this screen there are three more buildings. The one in the middle is the Equipment Store, and the one on the lower right is the Item Store. Upgrade your weapons accordingly and stock up on items if needed before entering the house on the upper right. Head to the backroom to meet Hilda’s mother. Watch the scenes that ensue. Hilda and Claire will engage in a small slapping fight and you’ll end up back in the Inn. Exit it and return to Naira’s house. Afterwards, enter the red house again for another scene. Finally, return to Naira’s house one more time and after the scenes it’ll be Boss Battle time. Btw, if Hilda isn’t already in your party, you’ll be forced to make it so. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- BOSS: Tomah HP: 51000 My level: 49 Nothing has really changed from the last time you beat this idiot. His weakness is still water and his attacks are the same. Remember that he can triple punch you up into the air or knock you down if you’re not careful. Watch out for his Shade Sorcery attack too. But, really? This fight is a piece of cake. You’ll receive a Life Bottle and a Thrust Refine Stone along with 2786 EXP and 800 Gald. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Sadness will ensue. After a long series of cutscenes try to exit the town and you’ll receive NARIA’S LETTER, TAROT CARDS, as well as an AMETHYST. Now reenter the town and with Hilda as your on-screen character, enter Naira’s house once more. Check the orange shrine on the upper left to obtain a weapon for Hilda called HAIN DELTA. Then, head to the backroom and check around the pots at the back to obtain a SPELL AIM robe for her as well. Now with Eugene as your on-screen character, enter the red house and talk to the old man there to receive the DERUTORUI staff for him. Finally, exit the town for good. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *SUB-EVENT #8* The Stone Tablets in the Mesechina Cavern, Part 4 of 6 (NR) As this time you can head to the Caverns and talk to Hack. He’ll tell you more stuff about the tablets and that’ll be all for now. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Now fly SW from the Alvan Mountains to find our next dungeon. =============================================================================== Stone Ruins [ToR2W] =============================================================================== o~~Item Checklist: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~o | Switch Gummy Paralyze Charm | | Recovery Refine Stone Baurusutangu | | Mind Emerald Apple Gummy | | Elixir Visconti | | Amethyth of Light (storyline) Beruiru | o~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~o Head inside the ruins for some scenes. Then, grab the chest at the upper left containing a SWITCH GUMMY before heading down the stairs. At the fork, take the upper left path to obtain a PARALYZE CHARM from another chest, which I totally recommend you wear, as the monsters in this place love to paralyze you. After, head to the right for another scene. Once again, head to the upper left first and take the RECOVERY REFINE STONE in this room. Return to the previous room, and at the next fork, head up again to pick up a chest with a BAURUSUTANGU armor for Tytree. Finally, take the remaining path for another scene. To the right there is a chest with a MIND EMERALD, and as you approach it another scene will trigger. Don’t head on to the right screen yet however. First check the other paths to obtain an APPLE GUMMY (this chest is kind of hidden) and an ELIXIR. Now continue to the next screen. Here we’ll finally encounter a small puzzle. As you approach the platform in front of you, you’ll be able to use Hilda’s Force. You need to aim at the purple balls that light up. That will cause the platform to activate. On some of them, to aim correctly you will have to “hold on” to the Force for a bit longer before releasing it. Use the CIRCLE button while on top of the activated platform and you’ll be able to ride it. The chest here contains a weapon for Hilda called VISCONTI. Use the Save Point at the end and move on to the next screen. It’ll be Boss Battle time. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- BOSS: Hilda (Phantom) HP: 36918 My level: 50 This battle won’t take too long, but if you’re careless, it’ll be game over. My recommended party for this battle is Veigue, Annie, Hilda, and Eugene. Rush at her with all you’ve got and keep her from casting her spells. You will be done with this in no time. Just, don’t forget to keep your HP up all the time as her spells can cause some serious damage (especially Ground Dasher). Hilda will end this battle with a pretty epic move, and you’ll receive 67563 EXP for your efforts. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- You will also receive the AMETHYTH OF LIGHT and Hilda will be able to perform the skill Divine Sabre. Exiting the Stone Ruins will switch the POV to Agarte. I, for one, am pretty glad to see what she’s up to. In any case, head to the Castle to watch some scenes. After, follow Saleh and continue heading east for another scene. I always knew there was something off about that woman... The POV will switch back to Veigue after the scenes. As usual, if you care to make it back to the last room of this dungeon you can check the emblem to obtain a BERUIRU armor for Annie. Now fly back to Nolzen to speak to Frantz, who will be at the Harbor. After watching the scene, exit the town. Our next destination will be Belsas. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *MINIGAME #4* Playing with the Rabbitz, Part 2 of 6 *SUB-EVENT #17* Hilda’s Reading Time *SUB-EVENT #8* The Stone Tablets in the Mesechina Cavern, Part 5 of 6 (NR) *2 New Recipes!* Special Pizza, Boat-Wrap Sushi But first, it’s time for some more sub-events. Since we’re so nearby, let’s start with going to the Rabbitz village first. Talk to the Rabbitz in the middle to unlock part two of this game. This time, the solution will be: Veigue, Eugene, Annie, Mao. Now head to Karez, back to the sixth screen like usual, but instead of going up the ladder here, take the southeastern exit instead and then head east twice and up once to find an old man. Talk to him, chose the first option, and he’ll disappear. Don’t panic, you haven’t messed up! You’ll have to exit out of the dungeon to receive the SPECIAL PIZZA recipe! Now, head to Balka’s Harbor and speak with the fortune teller here with Hilda as your on-screen character. She’ll be standing right outside of the Inn as per usual. Doing so will enable Hilda to read your fortunes! Pretty cool, huh? To do so you’ll have to look for Hilda’s Tarot Cards in the Key Items. A quick explanation of how that works. First, Hilda will ask if you want a Love reading, a Health reading, or a Money Reading. Then, she’ll ask if you’re a man or a woman. Next, she’ll ask what season you were born: spring, summer, fall, or winter. Finally, pick any two cards when prompted and you’ll receive your fortune. Along with your fortune, she’ll also tell you what’s your “Lucky Item”, and your “Lucky Color”. Anyway, head to the middle of the Harbor and talk to the man on the lower right who’s cooking a fish over a steamy pot. Pick the first option and he’ll give you the BOAT-WRAP SUSHI RECIPE. Alright, let’s continue on. Incidentally, there is a DISCOVERY SPOT very nearby. Directly west (kind of northwest, really) of the Balka Prison there will be a small patch of trees. Land there to find the spot. This time the Discovery will be a HAIRY KOALA. Anyway, our last destination will be the Mesechina Cavern. Head inside and talk to Hack to receive some more info on the Tablets and we’ll be done here. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- =============================================================================== Belsas [ToR2X] =============================================================================== Head to Belsas (NW of Balka). Once inside head east of the item shop and enter the first house here. You’ll find Mauro inside, (one of the guys you got out of prison before), who will help us out with our little problem. You will receivethe CIPHER MEMO after the scenes. Now exit the town and head to Nolzen. Incidentally, if you fly west from Nolzen there will be a small island with a DISCOVERY SPOT. This time the discovery will be AIRFRED’s ??? In any case, head to Nolzen’s harbor and speak to the soldier to board your ship. Head west (kind of southwest) from here to find a huge whirlpool in the water (you might have noticed on your way here that there was a green spot in the middle of the ocean? That’s would be it.) Examine the whirlpool a couple of times until you trigger a battle. Afterwards you’ll receive the PIRATE’s TREASURE CHEST along with the Treasure Hunter title. Veigue: +3 Slash Attack Power Mao: +3 Slash Attack Power Eugene: +3 Thrust Attack Power Annie: +3 Slash Defense Power Tytree: +4 Thrust Defense Power Hilda: +3 Slash Attack Power With the treasure in hand, return to Belsas and speak to Mauro. He’ll give you the ANCIENT MAP with the expectations that when you find the treasure we can split it with him! ...Dude we’re doing all the work, why should we give you a reward? Anyway, you’ll be transported to the Inn and Hilda will point out that something is not quite right with this map. Zoom in and out with L1/R1 and use the CIRCLE button to point out what that is. To continue on you’ll have to examine the location where Sannytown is supposed to be. If you don’t remember, it’s to the left of Balka (center continent with moon on top). Point to the very, very thin river mouth. After, exit from here and fly south from here to Sannytown. =============================================================================== Sannytown [ToR2Z] =============================================================================== After the scenes head to the Inn for another one. There will be a Warp Spot here (which looks a lot like a Save Spot, really) that you can use to get to Randgriz’s Temple. This place will be rather short. All you have to do is have Eugene talk to the people here and he’ll receive his Force upgrade, along with the BLACK DIAMOND OF THE EARTH, plus he’ll now have the skill "Jinrai Tenshougeki". Watch the following cutscenes with no small amount of pleasure. We’ve done it! Now, return to Sannytown to see another scene. Sigh... they were having such a nice touching scene too, but it just had to be interrupted! Head west from here to see what’s going on. Looks like things are looking worse! We’re going to have to do something about this... after all, we’re heroes! *strikes a pose* ...errr, okay. Head out of town. =============================================================================== Part 3: Bridging The Gap [ToR3] =============================================================================== A. - Animakal & Balka..............................................[ToR3A] B. - Babilograd & Petnadjanka .....................................[ToR3B] C. - Pipista.......................................................[ToR3C] D. - Minal.........................................................[ToR3D] E. - Sulz..........................................................[ToR3E] F. - Mt. Sovereing.................................................[ToR3F] =============================================================================== Welcome to Part Three, we'll be staring with some sidequests~! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *MINIGAME #4* Playing with the Rabbitz, Part 3 of 6 *SIDEQUEST #8* The Stone Tablets in the Mesechina Cavern, Part 6 of 6 (NR) *SIDEQUEST #18* Salvage, 12 Parts Head to the Rabbitz Village to continue this minigame. This time the answer will be: Tytree, Hilda, Eugene, Mao, Veigue Next up head to the Mesechina Caverns one last time to talk to Hack. Pick the first option as usual and we’ll finally be done! Yay! Now the next sub-event is lengthy, but very rewarding. However, after telling you basics of it, I’m going to have to herd you off to look at lanyn’s FAQ for this one. Now, head to Belsas and speak to Mauro. A series of notices will pop up, indicating that you have activated the quest. Basically, Mauro will give you a hint of where to Salvage for treasure, and afterwards you’ll have to return to him to report it, as well as get rewarded. If you speak to Mauro again a few options will pop up. The first one will tell you the hint again, the second and third one will show you the explanation notices again, and the fourth one is just to stop speaking to him. Anyway, once you head outside of town, if you open up the World Map (R3) and then press the TRIANGLE button the Salvage Map will pop up. Here you can mark down the location of the hint, and then travel there with the Ship. To mark things down on the map, move the cursor using the Right Joystick, and the CIRCLE BUTTON to mark the spot. You can also create colorful lines with the L1 button. Once you have arrived at the spot, you will notice that there is a shiny light in the water, very ala Wind Waker. Approach it, and then use the X button to Salvage. Afterwards, head back to Mauro and hand over what you found to receive some items as well as the next hint. There are 12 Salvage points in total. To find out where they all are, please consult lanyn’s Battle Mechanics/Sub Events FAQ. Along with all the items, you will also receive the "G Treasure Hunter" title. Veigue: +6 Skill Defense Power Mao: +6 Skill Defense Power Eugene: +7 Thrust Defense Power Annie: +5 HP Regeneration Tytree: +5 FG Regeneration Hilda: +5 HP Regeneration ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- =============================================================================== Animakal & Balka [ToR3A] =============================================================================== Now head to Animakal, which is SW from Sannytown. With Eugene as your on-screen character head to the right and enter the house across from the pond. Talk to the Gajuma dressed in yellow for a scene. Wtf. How stupid is this guy? Gah. Well, head out of the city and towards the Oasis (east from here). In here, take the upper right path and keep heading forward to the very back where you found the Live Garo before. You’ll find the couple surrounded by monsters, and a small battle will ensue. Afterwards, head back to Animakal. Watch Tytree perform his awesome freaking magic tree- I mean trick and then head off to battle. After beating all the monsters in this place we’ll be done here and he POV will switch back to Agarte. When you are in control of her speak to the little boy there to trigger another scene, then speak to the train conductor in this screen and choose the third option. Enter the only store here to obtain some medicine before talking to the conductor again. The first option will get you back where you need to be. Approach the sick Gajuma here for another scene. Looks like there’s at least some hope here... In any case, Agarte will receive the “Proud Traveler” title and the POV will switch back to Veigue. Anyway, this seems like a good time to finish the Mobile Library quest. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *SIDEQUEST #2* Mobile Library, Part 13-18 of 18 *SIDEQUEST #3* Completion Old Man, Part 11 of 16 Alright, we’re finally going to finish this quest! Head to Minal to speak to the Librarian as usual. We’ll have to borrow some more books, so chose the seventh, eight, and eleventh books before exiting the town. Our next destination is the Forest Labyrinth (kind of SW from here). In here, head down twice, to the screen with the save point, and you’ll find your man there. Lend him the book, exit the forest, and then go back in to retrieve it. You’ll receive a SWITCH GUMMY for you efforts! Next up, head to north entrance of Karez (south from here). Continue on to the sixth screen as per usual and head up the ladder to meet your target. Lend him the book and exit the dungeon. However, when you return to the dungeon he will have moved from that spot. To find him, enter Karez from the south entrance and take the lower left path. From here follow the path to the next screen which should have a ladder. Head up the ladder here and talk to him there to receive an ELIXIR before heading to our next destination. Which is the Babilograd Harbor. As soon as you enter here you will get a cutscene, but that’s storyline related. As long as you don’t take the lift up however, we’re good to continue pursuing this quest. Anywho, head to the second floor of the Inn here and talk to the fish-like Gajuma man on the left to lend him a book. Exit town and return to the Inn to take the book from him. After, finally head back to Minal’s Library. This time borrow the second, fifth, and tenth books from here before exiting the town. Head to Razilda’s Harbor. In here talk to the Gajuma peddler in the back to lend him a book. Then exit the town and head to Kyogen Hostel (NE from here). You’ll receive an HOURGLASS for your efforts! Awesome. Incidentally, talking to the guy on the upper left here gives you the option to get some more weapons. This time it will be a SAILOR STAR weapon for Hilda. Our next destination is Sannytown. Enter the Item Store and speak to the bird- like Gajuma woman inside to do the usual. Exit out of town, return, get the book back, and off we go again. Finally, our last location will be in Kyogen. Head to the leftmost screen and talk to the old guy inside the house there (he’s the one who told you about the Garden of Illusion, remember?). Do your usual, and after you get the book back head to Minal. After returning the books you will get the Book Sommelier title for your party, which has pretty awesome stats! Veigue: +3 Slash Defense Power Mao: +40 HP Eugene: +50 HP Annie: +3 Slash Attach Power Tytree: +4 Thrust Attack Power Hilda: +4 FG Regeneration Lastly, head to the Gymnasium to receive a LAVENDER herb from the Completion Old Man, before finally heading back to Babilograd’s Harbor to continue the plot. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- =============================================================================== Babilograd & Petnadjanka [ToR3B] =============================================================================== Once in the Harbor, head towards where the lift is to find Dana. Speak to her to trigger a scene and smile at Hilda’s words. She sure has changed! ^^ Now make your way out of the Harbor and towards the Climber’s Caverns. Sadly, we’re going to have to go through this again. Though on the upside, we’re way more leveled up than last time we came here! By now you should know your way around this place, so I won’t bother putting directions. When you reach the area where you fought Donnell once upon a time, a rockslide will happen once again. Naturally, use Eugene to clear the path before continuing on. Finally, once you arrive at Babilograd speak to Ox for a scene before heading to the Lift Manager’s house. Talk to him and he’ll say he won’t move the lift unless we have permission from the priest…. Time to head to the Shrine. Talk to the priest for a short scene before heading down the stairs. Just continue forward until a scene triggers, followed by a battle. Now head back up or “risk becoming gloomy like Veigue” lol. After the scenes, head towards the Inn for one more. Afterwards, the POV will switch back to Agarte’s. Once you’re in control, enter the Factory. Head up, then left, and approach the workers for a scene. After, talk to everyone again for another scene before approaching the door on the left. We’re going to have to flip some levers to continue now. You won’t be able to touch this one at the moment, but search around the factory and flip the remaining two before coming back here. Flip this last lever and another scene will ensue. Agarte will then receive the title “Awakened Queen”, and the POV will switch back to Veigue. =============================================================================== Pipista [ToR3C] =============================================================================== Our next destination is Pipista, so fly there and make sure to have Eugene as your on-screen character to be able to enter. Head to the Chief’s house for some more scenes before attempting to exit the town. A commotion will break out, so head back to where the Chief’s house is to see what’s going on. And you think stupidity could not get any stupider... Let’s head out of Pipista and let’s look for the children. You will be able to find them in one of the Flame Holders. More specifically, the “head” of the bird in the sand (the one that’s nearby the Tower). After the scenes, return to Pipista to meet with the parents. Watch as Veigue actually steps up to his Main Character duties. (But seriously, how did that little kid end up with that knife? How?) The POV will then switch to Agarte’s. Approach the angry bunch of people to trigger a scene and we’ll be done here. Now take your main party to Minal to continue. =============================================================================== Minal [ToR3D] =============================================================================== Head towards the middle of town to meet up with Misha and Dr. Curia. After the scenes, follow them to the Inn. Head down the stairs and enter the room in the back to continue. Now, before heading off to look for Agarte, return to the Inn and save. Also, I would recommend you to arrange your party like this: Veigue, Eugene, Annie, Mao, Hilda, Tytree. Trust me on this. Anyway, head to the port and talk to the Gajuma there for another scene. After, speak with the soldiers in the middle of town and, as you might’ve guessed, it’ll be Boss Battle time. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- BOSS: Veigue (Berserk) HP: 18835 My level: 51 Had Veigue had a lot more HP than this, this battle would’ve been a major pain in the ass. Thankfully, that is not the case. If you arranged your party like I said earlier, you should be fighting with Eugene. I had thought about having Tytree as my fighter, but while Tytree is faster, Eugene is stronger. In any case, with Annie healing, and the other two spell casting, this battle will be over in no time. You will get 77610 EXP as a reward. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Watch the scenes and when you’re back in control, make your way up the stairs and out of the Inn. Head towards the Library and Misha will tell you where he last saw Claire run off. Exit the town. Follow the western path and enter the Etorat Bridge for more scenes. You will have to fight Milhaust here, but don’t bother wasting your items or anything. You can’t win this one. You’ll end up being back at the Inn. Exit for some more scenes. Tytree will be waiting for Veige at the beach. In the meanwhile, the party will be scattered around town. Talk to them if you wish, though they won’t really say anything important. I felt like translating for some reason though, lol. Mao will be in this screen, the rest will be inside the Inn. Annie will be by the Save Spot, while Hilda, Agarte, Dr. Curia and Misha will be downstairs inside the rooms. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Mao: Veigue... Tytree is at the beach... aren’t you... going to go? Annie: Veigue-san... are you.. okay? If there is anything I can do..anything at all... please say it... okay? Hilda: Is it alright to be here talking to me? Eugene: Aren’t you going to go where Tytree is? Agarte: ... Dr. Curia: Veigue, don’t overexert yourself...alright? Misha: Veigue-san, you still don’t look too good... please don’t overdo it. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In any case, save and the exit town to continue. Tytree and Veigue will have a little fist fight here. You can let Tytree win (like I did~) or you can just beat him up. It doesn’t matter who wins in the end. After, just watch the touching scenes until you’re back in control. Agarte will join the party, and our next destination is Sulz. Fly NW of here to get there. =============================================================================== Sulz [ToR3E] =============================================================================== Once inside, we’ll see a cutscene of Milhaust leading Claire back to Balka. I wonder if she’s going to be alright... Well, now that we’re in Sulz take a moment to watch your skits, as Mao’s singing will continue. This one will be particularly amusing ^^ Then, head to Claire’s house to continue. Once again, the party will split up after the scenes. And once again, I shall attempt translate what your party members say! (: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Mao: Hey, Veigue, so this is the way mothers work at home, huh... It’s nice isn’t it... Rakiya (Claire’s mom): Go talk to everyone in the village. The negative air in the village... it’s okay to talk to everyone like usual. Veigue... This place will always be here for you to return. This is your home. You and Claire can always return... we’ll be eagerly waiting. Annie: This book here, did you read it when you were a kid? I used to love “The Tales of Pochumu-san”... Eugene: I wanted to talk to Marco-san this once. Tytree: Oh, Veigue! This view, this air... it’s the best! Well, let’s go. Let’s listen to what the people of this village have to say... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Now head to Popura’s house for a quick scene before returning to Claire’s. Am I the only one who thinks Tytree would make an awesome housewife? Just sayin’ ^^ After some more scenes, go talk to everyone in town before heading to the Assembly Hall. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *SIDEQUEST #1* Monica and Steve, Part 4 of 4 When you are back in control speak with these two twice to finally finish this quest. You will receive Veigue’s PARSUNC weapon as well as his title, “Love Cupid” which has a +3 FG Regeneration bonus. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Speak with everyone else and a scene should trigger afterwards. Finally, head out of this place and brace yourselves. Something weird is going on.. Head to Razilda to find out what. Holy Crap. Head to Sannytown and use the warp outside of the Inn. We need to talk to Randgriz. After the scenes, head out of town to be even more bewildered. The plot thickens! And it’s time to do some more sidequests. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *MINIGAME #4 * Playing with the Rabbitz, Part 4 of 6 *SIDEQUEST #15* Girl With the Force of Feather, Part 2 of 3 *2 New Recipes!* Miso Oden, Grasper You know the drill by now. Head to the Rabbitz village to speak with the one in the middle. This time the answer will be: Claire, Annie, Eugene, Veigue, Tytree. After, head over to the Lenpao Sky Garden to speak with Ninon. Incidentally, as you make your way to her house you will see Frantz standing here. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ (okay so I did this one half asleep xD so its most likely inaccurate and just an overall horrible translation. I'll fix it next time.) Annie: Frantz-san! Frantz: Oh! It’s you guys. Annie: It’s been a while. Frantz-san, why have you come here? Frantz: I heard there was a Wonder in this place, and so here I am. Mao: A Wonder?! Then, this place is one of the “Seven Wonders of the World”?! Frantz: Indeed. This place is one of them. Mao: ??? Then you met that guy in Kyogen? You really met him? Frantz: That’s right. After meeting with so many people, I finally understood. Annie: Then, ??? did you find the treasure you were looking for? Frantz: Yes. I’ve found it! Mao: That’s amazing, Frantz-san! So, this treasure, what type of treasure is it? Frantz: It is a great treasure... Frantz: It is this wonderful landscape! Mao: This landscape..is a treasure? Frantz: That’s right! It is truly wondrous! Frantz: ? Mao: Somehow3.. when Frantz-san calls his place a wonderful landscape, I don’t quite get what he means.. Frantz: Hahaha.. you’ll understand when you become an adult! Tytree: In any case, how did you get here? Frantz: I believed in my heart that I could do anything! Hahaha.. Tytree: Huh... Frantz: Well, it’s time for me to start my next journey. Well then, take care until let’s meet again! Annie: Take care of yourself too! Mao: Frantz-san is an amazing person, isn’t he. Eugene: Let’s follow Frantz-san’s example and not give up, let’s go out best. Tytree: Yeah, let’s believe in our hearts like him. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Anyway, speak with Ninon and then exit this place. Head to Kyogen to speak with Igol, who is standing at the entrance. He’ll give you another PILL OF SERENITY. Before returning to the Sky Garden, if you want, you can speak to the black-haired girl in this screen to trigger a scene with “Claire”. After, head to the leftmost screen to speak with the only girl standing here for another. Afterwards, enter the upper house here and talk to the Old Man inside. After paying him 50000 Gald, you’ll obtain the MISO ODEN recipe. Anyway, return to the Sky Garden to give the medicine to Ninon. You will receive an HOURGLASS for your efforts! Next up, head to the Climber’s Caverns. Head to the area with the Save Spot and you’ll find Frantz here! Talk to him and he’ll teach you the GRASPER recipe. With that, Mao should receive his “Gourmand” title which has a +7 Skill Attack Power bonus. If he doesn’t, that means you’re still missing the recipes that you can only receive via Farm Fresh Groceries. If you want, you can head to the following locations to speak with the kidnapped girls as that will trigger more scenes with “Claire”. Nolzen: Town Square Minal: Inside the Inn, by the Food Store Petnadjanka: Tytree’s House Babilograd: North of the Inn With that, we’ll be done here. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Now head north of Balka to enter Mt. Sovereign. =============================================================================== Mt. Sovereign [ToR3F] =============================================================================== o~~Item Checklist: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~o | Syrup Bottle Lemon Gummy | | Life Bottle x2 Panacea Bottle | | Grape Gummy Sage | | Red Liquid Purple Liquid | | All-Divide Blue Refine Stone | | Force Emerald Ankasu | | Elixir Muscle Emerald | | Mukushimirian Sage | o~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~o After the scenes, SAVE before heading inside. You’ll be ambushed by all of the Four Stars immediately, and yup, it’ll be Boss Battle time. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- BOSSES: Saleh HP: 34500 Weak: Earth Strong: Wind & Darkness Tomah HP: 51000 Weak: Water Strong: Earth, Fire & Darkness Walt HP: 27420 Strong: Darkness Milista HP: 17050 Weak: Water Strong: Light My level: 51 Craaaap, all four at the same time? That’s insane. But at least by now you should already know how to handle everyone. Target Milista first as she is the most annoying,followed by Walt, Tomah and finally Saleh. You will receive 2 Grape Gummies, a Life Bottle, some Green Powder and a Thrust Refine Stone, a Panic Charm, and a Light Resist ring, along with 89148 EXP and 7800 Gald. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Afterwards, Walt and Milista will come to their senses, while Saleh and Tomah finish things off on their own. You’ll end up inside of the dungeon, so just continue forward until you trigger a scene. To continue from here, you’ll have to use Annie’s Force to see the invisible path. If you manage to step off of it, pressing the CIRCLE button repeatedly might save you from falling. Anyway, be careful and head to the next room. Do the same thing here and collect the chests on your way. The one on the left will have a SYRUP BOTTLE and the one on the right a LEMON GUMMY. The next room will have a LIFE BOTTLE on the right and a PANACEA BOTTLE on the left. Finding the correct path to the next room here is kind of difficult, but the trick is to approach it from the left side. In the next room, we’ll have to make use of Tytree’s Force instead. But first open up the chest ahead to obtain a GRAPE GUMMY. Now head up. Ignore the first lever and climb up again to hit the lever on the left. Then, climb down to hit the lever you ignored before. After, head up from there twice to hit the third lever before climbing all the way down. Now make your way up from the left side to hit the lever at the very top. This will drop you back down a level. Climb all the way down again before making your way up from the right, to finally exit this room. This puzzle is simple. Just hit all four of the moving pillars with Eugene’s Force so the path to the next room opens up. In the next room, take the path on the left and follow it to find a chest with a SAGE herb inside. Then continue following this path to end up in the previous room.From here, take the northern path to the next room to find another puzzle waiting for us. Step on the first three switches from the right and use Mao’s Force to fire at the red smoke that appears. This will make a chest with RED LIQUID inside appear. Next, step on the second, third, and fifth from the right to do the same thing. This time a chest with PURPLE LIQUID will appear. Lastly, step on the first three switches from the left and the path to the next room will open. Pass this screen until you come across a fork. Before heading down the stairs, pick up an ALL-DIVIDE from the chest on the left. Then continue on to the next room. The puzzle here is easy, and the only thing you have to worry about is your timing. Use Hilda’s Force to hit all the purple balls and you’ll be able to head to the next room. In here, take the upper right path for BLUE REFINE STONE, and the upper left path for a LIFE BOTTLE. Then take the lower left path to the next room. At the following fork, head forward first to obtain a FORCE EMERALD from the chest before taking the lower right path, which contains an ANKASU weapon for Mao. Take the remaining path to the next screen. Get an ELIXIR from the chest in this room before moving on. There will be a MUSCLE EMERALD in the lower left path and a MUKUSHIMIRIAN armor for Eugene in the upper right path. The remaining path will lead you to the last puzzle of this dungeon. A blue bubble snake will come out of one of the pipes. You will have to use Veigue’s Force to freeze it, so that when it goes down one of the pipes, the entrances will freeze. Once all four entrances are frozen, the path to the next room will open up. The next room will be a narrow hallway with a Save Spot. SAVE before continuing on. It will be Boss Battle time. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- BOSS: Milhaust HP: 8324 My level: 52 Okay, we’re fighting this one alone. Sadly, we won’t even be able to use items, so yeah, be very careful. Luckily, he has very low HP, so it’s not impossible to win this. You will need to guard often in between hits, and especially be careful of his Hi-Ougi, which shows up within the first 10 seconds of battle. Leaving Veigue on Auto isn’t a bad idea if you don’t think you can win this. This time you’ll be rewarded with a Forutisodo(?) sword for Veigue, a Double Trick amulet, as well as 135128 EXP, and 20000 Gald. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- After the scenes, SAVE once more before continuing on. It’s not over yet. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- BOSS: Zilva HP: 100000 Strong: Light & Darkness My level: 53 This is going to be a looong fight, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that it has to be hard. As usual, make sure to bring Annie along for this one as her healing is a necessity here. Bring Mao or Hilda along for casting, and Eugene to back you up. Within the first few seconds of battle, Zilva will cast her Hi-Ougi, Shade Moon Rebellion, which can take quite a bit of your HP, so make sure to guard, and heal afterwards. She will use this technique again as you continue to lower her HP. At around 20000 HP, and definitely at around and 5000 HP, make sure to have your on HP up and be ready for it. You will receive a Misty Emerald, and a Magical Aroma for your efforts, along with 155221 EXP, and 20000 Gald. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Phew...we’re finally done... Not. Did you think the Final Boss was going to THAT easy? Alright, as usual, if you care to make your way back to the last room of this dungeon, you can pick up a SAGE herb by examining the emblem. =============================================================================== Part 4: Final Boss & Aftermath [TOR4] =============================================================================== A. - Upper Yuris' Realm...........................................[ToR4A] B. - Middle Yuris' Realm..........................................[ToR4B] C. - Grunhelde....................................................[ToR4C] D. - Upper Yuris' Realm...........................................[ToR4D] =============================================================================== Finally, we've reached Part Four ^^ Now before we head off to the final dungeon, there will be a couple of quests available for us. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *MINIGAME #4 * Playing with the Rabbitz, Part 5-6 of 6 *SIDEQUEST #19* Arrival of New Goods *SIDEQUEST #20* Thick Curtain (No Rewards/ Very Random...) *SIDEQUEST #21* Hidden Rabbitz *BONUS DUNGEON* Cyglorg’s Chambers First off, head to Balka and you will trigger a scene as soon as you enter. After it, you can head into the Stores and there will be new stuff available for purchase. Aside from new weapons and armors, the Accessory Store will start carrying the strongest jewels that can be bought, all of the Status Charms and all the Elemental Accessories. The Item Stores will also start selling Grape Gummies, so be sure to stock up! Alright, with that done, head off to the Rabbitz village to finish off this minigame. Speak to the one in the middle as usual, and this time you will be able to do the final two stages. These are the answers for them: Stage 5: Hilda, Claire, Tytree, Mao, Annie, Agarte Last Stage: Claire, Annie, Tytree, Eugene, Veigue, Hilda Afterwards, exit the village and reenter it again. Head to the northeastern corner here and there will be a hidden Rabbitz there. Speaking to him will get your party their Bunny Hunter title. Veigue: +6 Thrust Attack Power Mao: +7 Slash Attack Power Eugene: +7 Thrust Attack Power Annie: +7 Slash Attack Power Tytree: +7 Slash attack power Hilda: +7 Thrust Attack Power Now before exiting this town again, enter the house and examine the little figure/wooden statue on the lower left in this room. Then, head off to Pipista. Enter the house in this first screen and examine the curtain on the upper right. Depending on which on-screen character you examine it with, their reactions will vary. This is just a random little event that doesn’t do anything for you. I’ll translate what their reactions are another time. Anyway, the last thing to point out here is that you can finally go to the Cyglorg’s Chambers, this game’s Hidden/Bonus Dungeon. There are 60 floors in total, but you can only complete the first 40 if this is your first playthrough. For more information about this dungeon, check the Bonus Dungeon section below. Now, there are two more quests left in this game that we have to complete in a little bit, but at this time, you consider taking your time to finish some quests you might not have yet, such as: SIDEQUESTS #2, The Completion Old Man #4, The Cat Loving Old Man #11, Auction (LAST CHANCE) #18, Salvage MINIGAMES #1, Bartending #2, Mini Rafting #3, Panic Dreamer And, if this is your second playthrough, these are some additional quests you can access at this moment: *SUB-EVENT #23* Movie Rabbitz Speaking to the Rabbitz on the right will allow you to watch all the movie sequences in the game. *SUB-EVENT #24* Annihilation Katz Talking to the Katz on the right that’s inside the house allows you mess around with the storyline. More info about this when I actually unlock this myself. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Now enter Yuris’ Realm. =============================================================================== Upper Yuris’ Realm [ToR4A] =============================================================================== o~~Item Checklist: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~o | Recover Emerald Elixir | | Burst Bottle Life Bottle | | Lavander Savory | | Red Liquid Purple Liquid | | Jewel of Wisdom (storyline) | o~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~o Get the chest here containing a RECOVER EMERALD before heading down the stairs. Use the Save Spot before moving on to the next room. In here there will be four stone tablets, each a different color. Use the Force to break the red ones (second from the left) and enter the house in the back. Inside there will be a chest with an ELIXIR. You can also examine the big fountain in the back to recover all your HP and FG. Before exiting the house, don’t forget to break the red tablet in the left side of the room. Now take the northwestern path to the next screen. Destroy the red tablet here before continuing to the left to obtain a BURST BOTTLE from a chest. Then take the right exit to the next screen. Ignore the green tablet and continue on the right to pick up a chest with a LIFE BOTTLE. After, head down to destroy three more red tablets here before exiting through that pale yellow doorway at the bottom. In this screen, approach the middle tablet and use Tytree’s Force on it to trigger a scene. This will now enable you to destroy green tablets. Return to the previous screen. You will notice that the flames will now be a green color, indicating which color tablet you can currently destroy. Anyway, destroy the green tablet on the right, but before entering the next doorway, head to the first screen and enter the house with the Recovery Spot. Destroy the green tablet here before exiting and taking the upper left path. There should be four more green tablets here, to the left. After destroying them, make your way back to that doorway I told you to ignore. Enter it and this time use Hilda’s Force to hit the rightmost tablet and you will now be able to destroy the purple tablets. Now exit out of here and blast away at the remaining four purple tablets in this room if you so desire before taking the lower left path. Get rid of the purple tablet here before heading to the first screen once more. Enter the house, destroy the tablet inside, exit. Take the upper left path and head towards the pale portals. Enter the upper one first. Use Annie’s Force on the leftmost tablet here to be able to destroy blue tablets. Exit from here and take lower right path. Here there should be three tablets. Destroy the blue one before heading to the first screen. Enter the house to destroy the last tablet here before exiting. Now take the right path, and then keep heading right to the next screen (it’s above Hilda’s Force portal thing). Destroy the blue tablet here before finally returning to the screen with the remaining pale doorway we haven’t gone through yet. Use Mao’s Force on the second tablet from the right. Exit this room and destroy the remaining red tablets here. Now head off to the room with Hilda and Tytree’s doorways and take the lower left path to destroy the last red tablet. After, obtain the ability to destroy green tablets again and take the path that’s above Hilda’s portal. Destroy the green tablet here, before heading off to Hilda’s doorway. After obtaining the ability to destroy purple tablets, head to the first screen. Then take the upper left path, and in the next screen, the lower right path. Destroy the purple tablet here before returning to the previous screen. Finally, obtain the ability to destroy blue tablets again, and from there, exit that room and take the upper right path. Destroy the two blue tablets here and we will finally be able to move on from here. Take the newly opened path to the next area. Here, you’ll have to make a path using Veigue’s Force on the jumping fireballs. Jump on the platforms you create to get across the room. This room has a chest with a LAVENDER herb at the upper left, and one with a SAVORY on the right. Making it across this room will award you with the JEWEL OF WISDOM. =============================================================================== Middle Yuris’ Realm [ToR4B] =============================================================================== o~~Item Checklist: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~o | Endaru 50% Stagger Reduce Emerald | | Holy Bottle Elixir x2 | | All-Divide Saffron | | RONGINUSU Red Refine Stone | | Lemon Gummy Misty Emerald | | Sacred Yellow Refine Stone | | Protect Emerald Jewel of Power (storyline) | o~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~o After the scenes you’ll end up in a purple snowing place. There will be a Save Spot here (which you should use) and a one-way teleporter that will lead you to the beginning of this dungeon. Ignore that and head up to the next screen. At the fork, take the right path to the next screen. If you head up from there, you can pick up an ENDARU armor for Annie, and if you take the lower right path you can obtain a 50% STAGGER REDUCE EMERALD. Go back three screens to the fork. This time take the left path to the next screen. Grab the HOLY BOTTLE from the chest before taking the lower left path at the fork. Follow this path until you come across a chest with an ELIXIR. After, head back to the fork and take the upper left path this time. As you head up this screen you will see another “Mao” and “Eugene” waiting for you. As you approach them, it will morph into a monster with 210000 HP which your Mao and Eugene will fight alone. The battle’s not too hard. When you are done, approach the place where “Mao” and “Eugene” stood and press the CIRCLE BUTTON to teleport to the next area. From here, head up to pick up an ALL-DIVIDE from a chest. Then return to the previous screen and take the lower right path twice to get to a chest with a SAFFRON herb. Return to the previous screen and head through the upper left path this time to obtain a RONGINUSU weapon for Eugene. Now return to the previous screen again and head back up back up. Take the lower left path to pick up a RED REFINE STONE. Continue on to the left and you will find another chest in the next screen, containing a LEMON GUMMY. Head up from here and take the right path twice to pick up a MISTY EMERALD from a chest before returning here. Finally head up and Hilda and Tytree will have their battle. After, take the portal to the next area. From here, head up to the next screen and at the fork, the lower right path twice to find a chest with a SACRED weapon for Hilda. Now go back two screens and head up once again. You’ll find a chest with YELLOW REFINE STONE. Then take the left exit, and head immediately down. In this screen there will be a chest with an ELIXIR. Return to previous screen, take upper left this time. From here take the upper left again to find a chest with a PROTECT EMERALD before returning to the previous screen. Heading down thrice will lead you to a screen with “Veigue” and “Annie”. After the fight you will receive the JEWEL OF POWER. Use the portal and go through the shiny doorway. =============================================================================== Grunhelde [ToR4C] =============================================================================== This place will be very short. You can head inside the house here and find the ghost of Won Jin selling items. He’s pretty creepy… There will also be another one-way portal here, which you will need to take to finish up the last two sub-events of the game. But first, let’s find the Save Spot, since we’ve covered a lot of things so far. Head up to the next screen and enter the house here to save. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *SIDEQUEST #15* Girl With the Force of Feather, Part 3 of 3 (NR) *SIDEQUEST #22* Secret Diary (NR) After exiting out of Yuris’ Realm, head to the Sky Garden and speak with Ninon. You will notice that you will no longer be floating! Additionally, if you head to Balka and enter the Bar you will find Yottsua there. Picking the third choice and subsequently paying him 50000 Gald will allow you to view Annie’s Diary (you need to have Annie as your on-screen character, of course). With that, we’ll be done with all this game’s sidequest! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Now head back through Yuris’ Realm, all the way to the Grunhelde. Heading north to the third screen, past the Store, and the Save Spot, will lead you to another doorway. Head into the light! =============================================================================== Lower Yuris’ Realm [ToR4D] =============================================================================== Alright, finally the last part of this dungeon! From here, head up the stairs and take the western path to a chest with an ARAKIRASU armor for Tytree. Then, backtrack to take the eastern path to the next screen. Here, take the western path to the next screen to find a warp. Use it and continue on to the left. There will be another warp here, use it and grab the two items in this room, an HOURGLASS and a BIGURATON armor for Mao, and an APPLE GUMMY (this one is kind of hidden, it’s on the upper right) before returning. Now, head down the stairs and grab the chest past the red bridge, containing a CHAMOMILE. After, head to the right and take the lower warp. Approach the stone tablet up ahead and examine it. You will automatically place the WISDOM JEWEL there and a scene will ensue. When you’re back in control, don’t forget to pick up the LIFE BOTTLE at the back before returning to the previous room via the warp. Now head all the way up, taking the upper right exit back to the screen you were in at the beginning. Once in this room, take the lower right path, past the red bridge, to another warp, followed by another warp. Head down the stairs here and across the red bridge to a chest with GREEN REFINE STONE before heading down the nearby stairs to the next screen. Heading down the next flight of stairs will lead you to two bridges. Take the left one first and head all the way to the left, ignoring the stairs, to obtain a chest with a LIFE EMERALD. Then head all the way to the right and follow the path around until you get to a screen with two warps side to side. Take the lower one first and follow this path until you come to another screen with two warps side to side. Once again, take the lower one first. Pick up the item from the chest here, a PALE DRAGON weapon for Veigue, before returning. Now take the upper warp. Once again, examine the stone tablet here to place the POWER JEWEL, and another scene will trigger. Afterwards, pick up the SAVORY herb on the upper right before returning to the previous room. Head down the stairs here and follow the path back to the other screen that has the two warps side to side. This time take the upper warp. Head up and the two doors will open for you. As you approach the a scene will ensue. After it, don’t head past the doors yet. There is a hidden chest with an ALL DIVIDE hiding behind the right-side purple corals. Then, continue to the next screen. In this last part of the dungeon it doesn’t really matter which way you go. Just keep heading up until you find a Warp. It should take you to a room with a Save Spot, Claire, Agarte, Milhaust, and the stairs to the Final Boss. Claire: Veigue, be careful Agarte: Everyone, the feelings of the people of Karegia are with you. Milhaust: I shall remain with Claire and the Queen. Anyway, after saving, head up the stairs. It’ll be Final Boss Battle time! ^^ =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- BOSS: Yuris HP: 210000 My level: 60 Alright guys, it’s finally time. I hope you managed to level up as much as I did in this last dungeon, if not, I suggest you go train! In any case, Yuris has a massive amount of HP, and he has some pretty powerful spells he can hit you with. Don’t worry about dying all out of nowhere however, as they wont kill all your HP in one go if you’re this leveled up. Have Annie healing as always, and Mao and Hilda casting spells. Personally, I brought Eugene instead of Hilda this time around, so he can help me hill the Yuris’ Eyes more effectively. Speaking of which, Yuris will be constantly release eyes to attack you with, each has around 8000 HP. Be sure to take them out quickly or risk becoming overwhelmed by them. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Now enjoy the ending cutscenes/credits! Afterwards, don't forget to save your gameand you'll be able to enjoy the Grade Shop for your next playthrough!

If you enter the bar and talk to the waiter in the middle.The objective is to get the drinks to your customers without spilling. If you run too fast, or for too long, you will trip and the drink will spill. Later on, there will be people walking around and you have to make sure not to bump into them on your way to your customer. There will be a timer at the top too, so you’ll have to do this fairly quickly, but don’t be too nervous. You’ll only lose some Gald if you go over the time, but you will still get your titles. This is a nice way to earn money if you get used to it. You’ll have to do this with every single one of your characters to get their “Nice Waiter/Waitress” title. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - MINIGAME #2 Mini Rafting Head to the Toyohose Hostel (near Petnadjanka). The objective is to avoid any logs, rocks, and enemies on your way to the goal. Every time you hit any obstacles or enemies you will lose 1 HP, so be careful! If you lose all your health, you’ll have to try again. The first time is an exception though. You can use the CIRCLE button to throw fruit at your enemies once you have some, and use X to jump. You can only move left and right. This game is really fast so be careful! There’ll be a couple of items in the water you can pick up, although not all of them are good for you. You’ll want to pick up as many Fish as you can as they increase you score. The Swim Rings recover 1 HP (Max HP is 5) and the Oars speed up your movement. Avoid the Bubbles, which will prevent you from jumping. If you do manage to touch one however you can easily destroy it by throwing fruit at it. Each Fruit you pick up serves for 5 throws. Playing this the first time will get you the “Rafting Man” title. If you beat the game with a score of at least 100,000 you’ll receive his “S Rafting Man” title. You’ll need to do it for all four different routes though. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - MINIGAME #3 Panic Dreamer Head to the Nereg Hostel. Talk to the man inside and you’ll be taken inside of his “dream”. The stars on top of your head are your HP. Basically, the point of this game is to avoid all the obstacles, and in the later stages, additionally eliminate your opponents. You can watch the tutorial to have an idea of what is expected of you. Trust nothing, avoid everything. There will # Dreams, and there will be a tutorial for each of the missions. Also, BE CAREFUL AND AVOID ACCIDENTALLY PRESSING X CARELESSLY. Once you exit out of a stage you need to start from the beginning ALL OVER AGAIN. D: *First Dream* Stage One, Greenlands Mission One- Survive alone for 30 seconds. Stage Two, Public Bath Mission One- Survive vs. Ginnal Mission Two- Survive vs. Yusia and Drumb Mission Three-Survive vs. The Dark Wings *Second Dream* Stage One, Greenlands Mission One, Survive with Mao for 90 seconds TBC. Clearing the 5th Mission in the second dream will get you the Dream Clear title. Clearing all 30 Free Stages will get everyone the Mister/Miss Perfect title. This is one of the hardest mini-games in this game, and personally I haven't even finished it yet, therefore the incomplete section. Again, I would recommend returning to do this one later and continue on with the story for now. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - MINIGAME #4 Playing with the Rabbitz Head to the Rabbitz Village.
