Introduction <><><><><><><><> My first faq, and I felt I needed to write this because I felt it is time I needed to write a FAQ for GameFAQs. Anywho, I been meaning to write this Faq and I have started it out before I had even gotten the game(U.S.edition).(Call me obsessed but eh, it's my obsession) Enough about me, this faq is about "Tales of the World:Radiant Mythology"for the Playstation Portable. Since this is a cross-over of many different characters from many different "tales of" games, which will make the story interesting. Now, lets talk about the game. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> 2. About "Tales of the World:Radiant Mythology" <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> "Tales of the World:Radiant Mythology", for the PlayStation Portable (also a first "Tales of" game for the Playstion Portable)follows the "Tales of" series by making this a crossover game as you know. There also have been previous "Tales of the World" spin-off series for portable hand-helds,but have only been released for Japan. The game provides a battle system similar to "Tales of the Abyss", utilizing the "Flex-Range Linear Motion Battle System" or "FR-LMBS" or how I just plainly say it, free run. This provides more room and running around the battlefield to dodge and strike your opponent. You also create your very own character, ranging from a warrior, mage, priest, fencer etc. A part from just creating your customized characters, you also can select the look of you character with different types of armor. At the beginning you only start with 4 classes, but as you progress, you gain more class options to switch with. 2a.The Story ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Terresia - a world whose inhabitnts lived peacefully under the blessings of the World Tree. One day this world came under attack as the Devourer, a demon from another world, destroyed most on the land. The people of Terresia lived in constant fear of losing their entire world. The World Tree protected Terresia and people from the Devourer, but its powers became weaker with each passing day. With what remainedof its powers, the World Tree created one last hope - you. You descend upon the land of Terresia, its fate resting in your hands. <><><><><><> 3.

Ailily- The Beginning <><><><><><><><><><><><><> -After you made your character, you enter the scene where you find yourself lying on the floor. Momrmo, the white cat thing that you will meet tells you of the things in which are happening. You then hear a scream, just find your way out, its a basic path so no worries.you thenfind a girl with a soldier about to attack her, you then interupt and begin your first fight. it's pretty easy and well enough to manage. After you had beaten the soldier, you meet Chester Burklight. You, Mormo, Kanonno(the girl you just saved) and Chester then greet each other and then tell you to go to town and talk to a man name Kratos. You then go to the town map ,You will find a voiced skit with Ganser exiling someone. Then proceed out of the plaza and go to the Guild. Enter the guild for a cutscene, there you will meet Raine and Kratos will come in. They talk about how this has affected the town and run the Guild Ad Libitum to quest in order to help the people in the town. After, Raine tell you to meet other guild member's helping out the town.

Second, go to the plaza and talk to the rest of the people with "!"over their heads. Go back to the Guild again to talk to Kratos again since he has an exclaimation mark as well. Then go talk to Raine, then you gain the Refining, Polishing, Creating Tools, Clothes Recipe and Meat recipes. After all that, you get 5 quests to start: 5b.

"The Orphic Maze Appears" All You do here for the Quests are Talk to the people who asked for help and apply for their directions. After You have done 2 quests, go back to the Guild and you then enter a cutscene where Chester and Kanonno argue about her doing chores and him losing his little sister. 5c1. "Traces of Life" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Fame needed: 30 -For "Traces of Life",you will go to the Hallowed Bastion, in order to get there, enter the world map and press left. When your in the dungeon, go straight until you reach a fork in the path and take the left road, then when you reach another fork choose the north path and continue from there until you get a cutscene where you find a doll.

"Find Lloyd" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Fame needed: 110 -Enter Hallow Bastion again and go left again at the first fork,then you will see a cutscene of Lloyd running, contine the path but this time don't go into the north path, keep on going left. After you find Lloyd, you MUST battle him. He is not that hard, and can be easily defeated. Then after Lloyd has been defeated, you will have another cutscene with you, Lloyd and Kratos. You then get the title of Ad Libitum,1000 gald and 100 fame. After that you automatically head back to Ailily and Kanonno will congratulate you and tell you how to add members to your Party. Then Kanonno tells you how you can change your job by talking to the local Ad Libitum guild master to change your current job. You then gain the Swordsman and Fighter Invitation, but you must pay for changing into these Elite classes every first time you change into them. When you leave the Guild to the Town menu, Kanonno will stop you for another cutscene. And once you return to Ailily, you will get another cutscene with Genis and Lloyd. And when you return to the Guild, you will meet Luke and Tear again for another cutscene. Come back to the guild again to have a cutscene with Senel this time, looking for a missing person. And soon after some quests you have another cutscene where Luke trys to show off to become a member of Ad Libitum to Kratos. 5c3. "Rescue the Captives" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Fame needed: 240 -Head to Hallowed Bastion again and head for the second floor. When you get there, follow the path until you hit a fork and head left to rescue a man and gain the "Hallowed Bastian Key". Then go back to the fork and head North until you hit another fork, and then head right to rescue the girl who dropped the doll and an old man who gives you a "Hallowed Bastian Blueprint".From there head back to the second fork(where you went right) and go take the left path. Then continue the path and head north to follow that path until you find the 3rd door. But prepared because you now have to fight 4 mid-strengthed monsters will attack you, 2 Gargoyles and 2 Pedestals to be exact. After that you will get a cutscene where you meet Stahn, claiming to be the Dopland chapter of Ad Libitum and will be automatically returned to the Guild. 5c4. "Escort Stahn" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Fame needed: 400 -When you talk to Kratos you then get a voiced cutscene and Stahn then joins your party. Then head for the Hallowed Bastion. Head to the second floor and and take the north path at the 1st fork, then a left at the the 2nd fork, then take the left path on the 3rd fork. Then when on the 3rd floor, take the north path at the 1st fork, then when you reach to the area that has a door, take the southern path. At the 3rd fork, go north then continue following its path, and go left to bypass the chest if you want, then Stahn will leave and go back to Doplund. The reward you get here is 1000 gald and 50 fame points. Go to the plaza to recieve a scene with Chester saying Kannono has been captured.(If you don't get the scene, then do a couple more quests) 5c5. "The Orphic Maze Appears" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Fame needed: 500 -Here you get a new dungeon to go to, the Orphic Maze. Mormo will call it a bit too dangerous. Your goal is to get to the 3rd floor, to get to the 3rd Floor, take the right warp on the 1st floor, then continue to the purple warp path to warp to the 2nd floor. Then on the 2nd floor, take the right path to warp, then take the path to your right(or the southern path) to warp. Then take the middle path. Then take the path to your left (or southern path) and a save point should be there. When you arrive at the 3rd floor a cutscene will take place. After that go straight and take that warp. -Ganser Now prepare, there will be a cutscene and then you will have to fight Ganser. I'd suggest taking out the 2 Greater knights first then taking Ganser out. This battle is pretty simple, I suggest at least 1 priest but you don't really need it. 5c6. Story Plot: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ After you defeat him, another cutscene will take place and you will meet Widdershin, and Ganser will be obliterated by him. Widdershin will appear before you and tell you he was a descender just like you and Mormo. You will also learn that Widdershin's world he had to protect, Gilgulim also the thing that's eating worlds. Widdershin reverted his World Tree to a seed, so the reason why it had been eating worlds was to gain their mana to gain back its former size. He will try to attack you but you will prevail and basically tick him off; he will then swear revenge on you and vanish. Ailily is also a free town again and you will have the chance to go to Dupland. You also gain the Town Savior title, 2000 gald and 100 fame. After that, when you enter Dopland, the screen will go black and you will listen to Widdershin's voice. 5d. Ailily Duels <><><><><><><><> Special:"Test Your Skills with Kratos" "Test Your Skills with Lloyd" "Test Your Skills with Reid" "Showdown: Husband and Wife Comedy Team?" "A New Duo! The Rangers" "A Friendly Tag Team Battle" "Showdown!

Head to the Orphic maze with Raine all the way to the 3rd floor where Gilgulim was and a cutscene will trigger. Youe will then lear the purposes of the World Tree and Decsenders. 5e. Doplund <><><><><><> Once you arrive at Doplund, head to the Guild. Once you arrive, you will meet Garr Kelvin and Philia Felice. Then Go around like before finding people with "!" over their heads for this town Just like you first did in Ailiy. 5f.

Important Story Quests 2 <><><><><><><><><><><><><><> 5g1. "The Earthquake's Epicenter" 5g2. "The Epicenter in the Lavacleft" 5g3. "The Hole in the Lavacleft" 5g4. "Resue Leon and Defeat Gilgulim" 5g5. "Defeat the Monsters Blocking the Path" 5g1. "The Earthquake's Epicenter" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Fame needed: 700 -Accept the quest from Philia and talk to her again when you're ready. I also strongly suggest you take a full party and atleast 1 priest ( you will see later). Then enter the Mines in the world map(just press down once and you will be there). Walk staright until you hit a fork (yes more forks -_-) and head right to go to the 3rd floor mine; on the 3rd floor mine head right at both forks again to go to the 4th floor mine. Then on the 4th floor mine, head straight, following the path and make a right at the first fork, then take the north path when you find the second fork and follow its path, and continue right at the third fork. Now you are at the 6th floor mine, and you will see the same thing as when you saw in the Orphic Maze, and heads towards it to get a cutscene. -Rock Worm Be prepared now because you now have to face a Rock Worm. Be careful and try to keep your health up because it hits pretty hard and almost killed my party the first time I fought it(I under-estimated it), but I pretty much ran around it and attacked behind it while it does the smoke attack or just rised up from the ground. Once you win, another cutscene will take place and Gilgulim will disappear again. The screen will turn black again and you will hear Widdershin ranting on again. Once in the guild, you will report what you saw and Kanonno will take you out to eat. After you return to the guild, you'll get rewarded with 3000 gald and 200 fame points. Once you leave the town, you will run into Luke and Tear again. 5g2. "The Epicenter in the Lavacleft" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Fame needed: 1000 -Accept the quest, get a briefing from Philia, and head to the Lavacleft on the world map of Dopland(down twice). Follow the path and head towards the north path at the first fork, then take the right path at the second fork. Now you will be at the 3rd floor of the Lavacleft, from here follow the path going right at the fork and follow it until you are ensnared by a cutscene. You and Mormo discuss about the Hole in the floor in the cutscene and you'll bring a Strange Flower that you found besides the hole, back to Philia. You will learn that, this flower came from Kanonno's home world because she vaguely remembers it as a Yunanate blossom. The reward you then earn would be 1000 gald and 100 fame. 5g3. "The Hole in the Lavacleft" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Fame needed: 1300 -Accept the quest, get a briefing from Philia, go to the inn to talk to Rutee to join your party and head to the Lavacleft on the world map of Dopland again. Now at the 1st floor Lavacleft, go left at the fork this time and go take the south path at the second fork, then follow that path and you will find yourself on the 2nd floor Lavacleft. When your at the 2nd floor Lavacleft just keep following the left path, ignoring the fork and you will find the hole again and a cutscene will take place. Now head back to the fork and go north as the lava path has been cleared and another cutscene will appear. Follow this path until you find yourself at another fork. Take the left path and follow it until you find another Gilgulim seed. A cutscene will appear with Widdershin. -Drake Beware as a Boss-type monster, Drake will attack you. Sometimes the Drake will be cheesy and fly real high and attack you, but it's real basic because all you do is hold up and use your normal attacks to bring it down. I also learned that Tempest Strike really takes a toll on the Drake since it flys high. After the battle a cutscene will take place with a depressed Mormo and you will recieve a Septanite Nugget. You will also go back to the Guild and recive a cutscene where the Gilgulim was the cause of the seismic activity. Your reward for this quest is 3000 gald and 200 fame. Then leave the Guild to recieve a skit where Leon is hurt. 5g4. "Resue Leon and Defeat Gilgulim" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Fame needed: 1650 -Enter the Guild sometime and you will have a cutscene with Leon running off to fight Gilgulim at the weald. Accept the quest and recieve a briefing from Garr. Head to the Weald, follow the path and go take the right route at the 1st fork, then the north path at the 2nd fork, and a left at the 3rd fork. And finally, head north at the last fork to enter the 2nd floor Weald. Follow the path and take the north-east route when you find yourself at the 4 way split. Then head for the south path at the next fork to reach the 3rd floor Weald. When you're at the 3rd floor Weald, follow the path until you get a cutscene finding Leon. Then go north at the fork where you found Leon and proceed to the 4th floor Weald. Now run staright north to find Gilgulim and another cutscene plus another boss-type battle. -Behemoth Now this dude is like really gigantic and tempest strike works really well on it too. It's a pretty simple battle and way easier then the previous boss monsters. The strategy that I used to defeat him was have Raine and Rutee with me. My character and Leon distracted it while Raine and Rutee casts spells and healed me and Leon. And again, Tempest strike and Swallow Dance works well on it since it's pretty tall. After the battle a Cutscene will appear and you will destroy the Node. You will faint and you'll hear Widdershin ranting on again fussing about you again. -_- Then you'll find yourself at the Guild out cold with Kanonno trying to wake you up. Your reward will then be 3000 gald and 200 fame. 5g5. "Defeat the Monsters Blocking the Path" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Fame needed: 1950 -Do a couple quests until you get this quest. Once you get it accept it and then go talk to Garr to get the Briefing. Stahn will join your party here for paying a debt to you when you had saved him back in Ailily. Head to the 4th floor Mine, but this time at the 3rd fork, go left instead of right, and follow that path until you reach the 5th floor mine. Then just go straight until you trigger a cutscene where you you see the monster that is blocking the way to Gavada. -Graelhorn This billy goat moose looking thing is called Graelhorn. Again like the other boss monsters before use Tempest Strike to your advantage. It's pretty easy when you get the hang of it but if you don't it could be pretty tough. If some of your party members die, you don't have to bother reviving them and a priest is also a good idea to bring along like Raine or anyone of the preist Mercenaries. Once the giant billy goat dies, you will go back to the Dopland Guild to recieve a cutscene with Garr and Stahn. You report that you took care of the monster and you will be now able to go to Gavada. Your reward for this quest will be 2000 gald and 100 fame. 5h.

When on the 3rd floor Frost Hollow, head straight, follow the path until you reach this Big Crystal like structure. a cutscene will trigger, and you will learn that the Flourite has Harolds Signature in it. -4 Ice Spirits Mormo will sneeze activating the dwellers of the flourite and you will have to face off againt 4 Ice spirits. It's a pretty simple battle, take it as any if you are fighting any 4 regular monsters that attack you. After you defeat them you will recieve Flourite Cluster. At the Guild, you will take to Annie, and she will investigate the stones that you just got. Your reward you get for this quest is 1000 gald and 100 fame. 5k3. "Search for and Rescue Harold" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Fame needed: 2500 -Now go accept the quest and talk to Eugene for a briefing. A cutscene will trigger and learn how to activate the Flourite stones. An earthquake takes place and your character falls. Now head back to the Aelderwoods. Now head to the area where you found Harold's scepter, a cutscene will trigger about the toxins in the area being supressed. Now take the south pass until you see an unconscience girl on the floor. And yes, THAT is Harold; you return to Gavada and Harold will wake up. You now return to the guild. Harold will inform everyone that Aurora has built her Mana lab in the heart of that forest. Harold will also try to give back Kanonno's memory with a treatment but Kanonno takes you outside to talk about her memories. Your reward for this quests is 1000 gald and 50 fame. -When you head back to the guild, you will learn that Kanonno ran off with her memory restored. 5k4. "Shut Dow the Mana Lab" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Fame needed: 2800 -Accept and brief with Eugene, then grab your party and head to the Aelderwoods again. Now head to the 2nd floor Aelderwood again and go right at the first fork, but at the second fork, take the right path instead of the north path. Then follow that path until you reach a third fork and head north to get to the 3rd Floor Aelderwood. From here, take the south route at the first split and then save at the savepoint at the second split. Then take the South path after you have saved to enter the 4th Floor Aelderwoods. There, just walk straight and you will trigger a cutscene with Mormo and the Mana Lab. You will then meet Aurora and Gilgulim will appear. -Tyrantoise Aurora will send her latest creation, an animal created from both Yaoon and Terresia. It's pretty slow but if you don't watch out, it will hit you hard on the tookus. Also on a side note watch out when he bodyslams you because it will most likey stun you. When you go into Overlimit beware of your health too, because since you don't flinch, you take damage with out noticing it. I suggest Hit and Run tactics since it is very hard trying to finish combos on it. For Ninja's, Flare Raid works wonders on it just be sure it is facing you to do max damage. Once the Tyrantiose has been defeated, you will have a cutscene where Gilgulim disappears and Aurora rants on you. Once back in Gavada's Guild, you will learn that Dopland is the next target for mana lost. Your reward is 3000 gald and 200 fame. 5l. Gavada Duels <><><><><><><><> Special:"Test Your Skills with Senel" "Test Your skills with Eugene" "Test Your Skills with Luke" "The Dragon and the Tiger" "From the Depths of the Abyss" "New Generations" 5m. Doplund - The Return <><><><><><><><><><><><> -Once back at Dopland, head to Philia at the Guild. Philia and Garr will inform you that the World Tree roots are pulling back as a defense mechanism and are warned(from you) that Aurora is headed to Dopland to suck up the Mana in the area just like Gavada. 5m1. "Follow the Mana Flow" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Fame needed: 3300 -Accept the quest and brief with Philia, then grab your party and head to the Weald. Head to the 4th Floor Weald, and along the way you will see a glimpse of Kanonno running. Then when you reach where the Gilgulim Node was, a cutscene will trigger and you will then head back to the Dopland Guild. You are then rewarded 1000 gald and 50 fame. 5m2. "The Woman in the Weald" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Fame needed: 3600 -Just do what you did in the last story quest, and head to the 4th Floor Weald again to trigger a cutscene where you find Kanonno. You will learn that Kanonno is also a Descender, but exterminated the humans of her world, but was to late to restore humanity and that was when Widdershin arrived with Gilgulim. You will also learn that Kanonno was helping Widdershin too but the World Tree was to strong for her and she was sent flying, losing her memory. -Kanonno She is pretty tough if you are doing this alone, but if in a party it should be easy. Kanonno is like a combo of Magic Knight and Warrior and she is incredibly hard to stun. I suggest bringing a some Mages, Priest or a Bishop with you. When it is all and done, you will destroy the Gilgulim Node that Kanonno brought up and talk to her. Your reward will be 2000 gald and 200 fame. 5n. Ailily - The Return <><><><><><><><><><><><> -Now head back to Ailily, and head for the Guild. 5n1. "The Dying World Tree" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Fame needed: 3800 -Accept the quest, brief with Raine and gather your team. Now head for the Foot of the World Tree. Here you will need to reach the 4th floor of the World Tree. To get there, head north all the way on the 1st Floor to reach the second floor. Then, on the 2nd Floor, follow the path until you reach a 3 way split and take the left path, then another left at the second 3 way split. Shortly after, you will see a fork, so take the north route and continue north until you find a save-point(and save of course). From there, take a right and continue and take the north path at the 4 way split. Now follow the path and take a right at the next fork. Finally take the North route at the next fork to find the entrance to the 3rd Floor. Easier Method: 2nd Floor: 1. left 2. left 3. north 4. right 5. north 6. right 7. north 3rd Floor: 1. north 2. right 3. north 4. north If this all confuses you, just try to go all the way north on the map, until you find the entrance for floors 2 and 3. Now when you are at the 3rd Floor of the World Tree, follow the northern path all the way straight and then take a right at the fork. Shortly after following the previous path take the north route at the next fork follow it. You will then find yourself at another fork soon after, so take the north when you get there. Follow that path all the way north until you trigger a cutscene with Aurora. She will talk about Gilgulim becoming an eternal world, and then she will attack you. -Aurora She will come at you, but not alone; she will have 3 Mandragora with her. Take care of her Mandragora first if it's possible, because if you leave her unchecked, she will mutilate your party. Her teleporting will also be another big nuisance to you, to me it was an extremely hard battle. She killed of all party members and petrified me. If this happens to you, I suggest you using your gummies since she hits really hard; I also didn't bother to heal my party members because they will most likey get in your way. Once you defeat the Aurora, a cutscene will take place and she will die. The ground will start shaking and you will learn that Gilgulim is ready to start the Mana Harvest, which in terms means that the World Tree is ready to die. Kanonno will then try to stop the mana flow and you will have to stop Widdershin. You head back to the Ailily Guild to recieve info on how to destroy Gilgulim. Your reward will be 3000 gald and 200 fame. Warning:Beware that after you do this quest, the next quest finish's the game, and after you finish this you will have to do the chained quests(if you were in the middle of it)all over again. 5n2. "Infiltrate Gilgulim" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Fame needed: 4000 -Accept the final quest and brief with Kratos. Now enter the worldmap of Ailily and head for the Blue-ish castle like structure all the way on the bottom. Once in Gilgulim, walk straight until a cutscene will trigger and you will meet Ganser again. -Ganser You will face against Ganser and 2 Geopsitis. Take care of his minions first. They're quite simple and easy to deafeat, once they're beatened, head for Ganser. He will run around a lot and will be very hard to stun too. Overall, this battle is very simple, and you will get the Altar Room Key from him. Ok take paths in this order at all the forks: note: A lot of Treasure chests will be there, so open them if you want. 1. right 2. north 3. left 4. north 5. right 6. north 7. north Then save at the save point; I also suggest equiping Black Onyx to sustain some of Widdershin's attacks from destroying you. Head to the second floor to trigger a cutscene with Widdershin. -Widdershin 1st Half Not much here, but his big sword attack will knock you down, and it has a wide radius in which it hits too. He will teleport but nothing like Aurora, he doesn't tend to go that far. -Widdershin 2nd Half Once you take out half of his life he will summon this huge sword from the sky and will damage your party heavily. They will most likely die too, and I recommend not to bother reviving them unless you need a meat tank to take all the punishment for you(mainly Mages, Priests, and Bishops will have to revive their Party members) Now this is where things will get tough. Widdershin will use Meteor Swarm a lot and a move relatively similar to Holy Lance. When he does Meteor Swarm(you will know because that's the only spell he casts), then that's your cue to start running. I also found that Tempest Beast(or Omega Tempest for Swordsman) works very well on Widdershin when he pauses. Just run and Tempest Beast until he is all defeated. Poor Widdy all that hype for nothing. Now just watch the cutscene after to see Widdershin blow up. After that leave the area to headback to Kanonno. You will automatically be sent to the 3rd Floor World Tree to meet Kanonno. 5n3. Ending Story ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Kanonno, you and Mormo will see the mana rise from the worlds that Gilgulim has consumed. You will channel the all the mana to the Terresian World Tree, and it will begin to bear fruit. You will then see all the Tales characters looking up at the mana going in to the World Tree and bearing fruit. Then Mormo and Kanonno return to their world, and you to the World tree. You will recieve the Title "World Savior" Congratulations, You have now beaten Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology!

Mystic Artes/Hi-Ougi's <><><><><><><><><><><><><> -In order for characters to learn their Mystic Artes/Hi-Ougi's, you must master all, and I mean ALL techs for that character. I have confirmed this through one of my play-throughs. All though, I am unsure about the Magic classes(Priest, Mage, Bishop and Magic Knight) for their Mystic Artes/Hi-Ougi's at the moment. note: To activate Overlimit press the L and R button. Once you learn your Mystic Artes/Hi-Ougi, activate your Overlimit when it's full and then attack using an Arcane Arte and hold the X button to activate the move. For magic caster's, go into Overlimit, cast a spell and hold the X button to activate their Mystic Artes/Hi-Ougi's. I think Grinding for this move is well worth it since it does a payload of damage to your enemy. For your custom character, here are the Mystic Artes/Hi-Ougi's each class: Warrior -Infernal Ruin Thief -Death Spiral Mage -Indignant Judgment Priest -Sacred Shine Swordsman -Dark Blade Fighter -Fire Dragon Rampage Ninja -Nine Seals Magic Knight -Shining Bind Bishop -Divine Judgment Hunter -Astral Rain <><><><><><><><><> 9. Radiant Quests <><><><><><><><><> note: You need to reach level 25 for the quests to appear. -You will randomly get a skit from Kratos after you free Ailily from Ganser. You need this in order to activate the Radiant quests to recieve Radiant equipment. Then look for the quest "Touchstone" in Ailily to start the quests. After you defeat it you go back and talk to Kratos to recieve word that the Radiant hero will give you a set of trials to obtain the gear. From there, depending on what class you are, you will have to go to a specific town to recieve the quests.
