Introduction =============================================================================== Introduction ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hi! Welcome to my Grandia II FAQ for the PC. As soon as this game was released on PC I've decided to write FAQ for a grand sequel to a grand game. I hope you like it, but most importantly I hope it will help you. Grandia II was originally released on the Dreamcast. Four months after its Japanese release, Grandia II was available in North America thanks to Ubi Soft. The voice acting team was the same in the Metal Gear Solid. Most importantly after a huge seccess of the original, which became classic, everyone expected no less from Grandia II. Even though it's not a direct sequel. Did Grandia II became classic? Hard to say, probably not. Although it was released on the DC, PC and PS2. Grandia II is a great game but in my personal opinion Grandia I was better. Estimated retail price was $40 for this game. If you liked my FAQ then please rate it.

Game Tutorial =============================================================================== There are two kinds of Tutorial in my guide: Quick Tutorial and Game Tutorial. You'll find Quick Tutorial throughout the guide and it will contain some useful tips and hints. And Game Tutorial is the in-game Tutorial that you'll find it in every general store. Miscellaneous Tutorial was written by me and it contains some information that you won't find in the in-game Tutorial. So if you have experience with Grandia then you should skip this section and go straight for the Walkthrough, because you'll just fly through the game system. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Miscellaneous Tutorial ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - LEVELS ARE IMPORTANT! They are. Try to follow my level advices or try to get a high levels by yourself. You have to understand that with high levels all (most) of the Bosses are an easy kill, plus when you train your characters for levels you also gain SC, MC and G which are vital for move and magic learning and for buying things because prices in later shops are quite high. - Normal Battle - If Ryudo encounters enemy while it's red (it saw you) then it will be a normal battle. - You have the Initiative - If Ryudo encounters enemy while it's not red (it can't see you) then you'll have the initiative. Always aim for initiative. - You were surprised - If the enemy is red (it saw you) and encountered someone besides Ryudo while you were fleeing, then it's a surprise encounter. - If you are about to loose to an enemy you can't defeat then choose [Escape] and you'll flee like a rabbit. You can escape from every battle except, of course, the Boss battles. - Millenia acts different in battle. See those colors on her picture during the fight? That's how she's feeling. The color depends on various aspects during battle. When she's feeling fine there will be nothing there. If she gets excited then it's green. When starts getting annoyed its light green and yellow. Orange is when she feels angry. Moreover, when it's Red she's in Rage. When she's in Rage two things will happens, Berserk + Haste which Means that her IP starts moving faster and you'll lose control over her. She'll use Taint of Wind and then her most powerful moves and spells while she has the SP and MP for that. - After you kill a monster you can get 1 of 2 items for it. One is normal item and the other is the rear. Chances to get the rear item are small but most of the time the rear items will be more valuable. You can find the list of all monster items in this FAQ. - Abnormal Stats are abnormalities caused by magic or special attacks. They include the following: [Poison]: Poisoned target gradually loses HP. [Magic cure]: Cure [Item cure]: Antidote, Poison Antidote, Purifying Herb, Fresh Sandwich, Panacea [Sleep]: Target is asleep and can't do anything, awakens if attacked. [Magic cure]: None [Item cure]: Eye Drops, Torte's Reedpipe, Panacea [Paralyze]: Paralyzed target is stunned and can't take action for some time. [Magic cure]: Cure [Item cure]: Paralysis Salve, Fresh Sandwich, Paralysis Salve, Purifying Herb, Panacea [Confusion]: Confused target attacks random targets on the battle screen even allies. [Magic cure]: None [Item cure]: Smelling Salts, Panacea, Oracle's Staff (weapon) [Plague]: Pagued target gradually loses a lot HP and gains various status disorders. Also decreases stats. Effect carry's over to the next battle if not cured. [Magic cure]: None [Item cure]: Vaccine, Caterpillar Soup, Panacea [Magic block]: Magic blocked target can't use any Magic Spells. [Magic cure]: Refresh [Item cure]: Magic Blessing, Blessing Scroll, Panacea [Move block]: Move blocked target can't use any Moves. [Magic cure]: Refresh [Item cure]: Move Blessing, Blessing Scroll, Panacea [Death]: Character can't do anything nor anything affects the character until the revival. [Magic cure]: Resurrect, Droplets of Life (Move) [Item cure]: Yomi's Elixir, Miracle Elixir, Hero's Elixir ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Beginning Tutorial ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Combo/Critical/Cancel ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ There are two kinds of attacks you can use at any time: Combo and Critical. The Combo is a pretty ordinary attack, good for inflicting a lot of damage on the enemy. It is a combination of several attacks in succession, so you can cause extra damage. The Critical attack causes less damage than the Combo, but it can Cancel enemy attacks. Here, Cancel means to halt an enemy attack or magic spell and cut an enemy's IP. If you hit with a Critical attack while the enemy's icon is between COM and ACT, the enemy's attack can be canceled. You can also cancel enemy moves and magic. Cancel effects all enemies. The order in which commands are entered and take effect is determined by IP (initiative points). The IP gauge also shows you the current status of action for each character. When a party member's icon comes to the COM position on the IP gauge, you can enter a command and when the icon comes to the ACT position, the command takes effect. A victory in combat earns you gold (G) and experience (EXP) points along with 'skill coins'. There are two kinds of skill coins: 'Special Coins' (SC) and 'Magic Coins' (MC). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Intermediate Tutorial ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Moves (Special Abilities) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Moves are special abilities that each individual character possesses. Some moves attack the enemy and some restore the health of your party. Using a move consumes a number of SP (Special Points). To learn new moves and power-up the moves you already have, you need SC (Special Coins). Each party member can learn a certain number of moves. Moves are more powerful than Combo or Critical, but they use up SP. You can't use a move without enough SP. Staying at an Inn restores all SP, but using Combo and Critical also restores a little of your SP. Getting hit by an enemy attack also restores SP. You cannot learn new moves simply by earning Experience Points (EXP) in battle. You can only learn moves by using Special Coins (SC) earned in battle on [Learn Moves] screen. Select [Power Up] command then [Learn Moves] from the learning categories, select the character you want. Select a move not yet learned to learn it. You may not know exactly what the move does until you learn it. But the help messages at the bottom serves as a guide for selecting moves. Be careful, because different moves require different numbers of SC to learn them. Moves you have just learned take a long time to execute. You can use Special Coins (SC) to raise the acting speed of the moves you have learned. This is how you 'power-up' moves. To power-up moves, use Special Coins (SC) on [Learn Moves] screen on the moves you have already learned. As the move levels go up, the acting speed goes up and so does its power, but Special Coins (SC) required also increases. Level 5 is the maximum level of each move. Magic ~~~~~ Magic can be used to attack the enemy or restore the HP of friends. To use magic, naturally you need MP (Magic Points), but a party character must be also equipped with a Mana Egg in advance. Magic is contained in Mana Eggs, so magic can only be used after a character is equipped with a Mana Egg. To learn new magic spells or power-up existing spells, you need MC (Magic Coins), MC are used not on the individual party member, but on the Mana Egg. Mana Eggs are equipped on [Equip Menu] like weapons and armor. This means that each individual party member can be equipped with only one Mana Egg at a time. When you want to use magic, use the Move/Magic command. Using magic depletes MP. You cannot use magic without enough MP. MP can be restored by staying at an Inn. The magic spells that can be used are different depending on the Mana Egg. By equipping a party member with a different Mana Egg, the same character can then use different magic spells. Mana Eggs can be switched not only in the field but in battle also. Some magic is more effective on certain monsters. You can only learn magic by using Magic Coins (MC) earned in battle on [Learn Magic] screen. The number of Magic Coins (MC) required to learn a magic spell is displayed for items not yet learned. You may not know exactly what the magic spell does until you learn it. But the help messages at the bottom serve as a guide for selecting magic. Magic you have just learned takes a long time to act, but you can use Magic Coins (MC) to raise the acting speed of the magic you have learned. This is how you 'power-up' magic. To power-up magic, from [Learn Magic] screen, use Magic Coins (MC) on the magic spells you have already learned. As the level of the magic spells go up, the level of the Mana Egg also goes up. Once a Mana Egg gets up a level, you can then learn even more powerful new spells. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Advanced Tutorial ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Skills ~~~~~~ Skills help increase the abilities of party members separate from going up Experience levels. Equipping a party character with a skill can raise the character's HP, MP, STR (Strength) or MAG (Magic) parameters. Skills are 'written' in Skill Books so you must first obtain a Skill Book before you can acquire skills. For skills, 'Power Up' means to use Special Coins (SC) or Magic Coins (MC) to 'read' a Skill Book and learn a skill. Any party member can be equipped with the skill thus learned, so the skills are a sort of 'knowledge' shared by members. A Skill Book is needed to use skills. Skills are broadly divided into move-type skills and magic-type skills. SC are needed to learn move-type skills and MC are needed to learn magic-type skills. You may not know exactly what the skill does until you learn it. The help messages at the bottom serve as a guide for selecting skills. Like moves and magic, skills can also be 'powered-up'. To power-up skills, use coins on [Learn Skills] screen on the skills you have already learned. As when they are learned, SC are needed to power-up move-type skills and MC are for magi-type skills. AS the level go up, new skills may be added into the same Skill Book. You can only use skills after you Equip individual party members with them. Equipping skills is performed with the [Skill Equip] command. Each party member can be equipped with a different number of skills. He or she can be equipped with more than one skill up to their maximum number of skills. The number of skills a character can be equipped increases as their experience point level goes up. If one party member is already equipped with a skill, other members cannot be equipped with that skill. To equip another party character with that skill, you must either use 'Remove' or learn the same skill from another Skill Book. Counter/Defend/Evade ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Counter, Defend and Evade are slightly more advanced tactics: Counter - A 'counter' is when your attack hits just before an enemy attack. If your attack hits just when your enemy's icon on the IP gauge reaches ACT, a Counter results. If a Counter hits, additional damage is inflicted. You can score a Counter not only with a Combo but also with Critical attacks, moves and magic too. But if your Counter timing is off, you may suffer additional damage yourself. If you are aiming to score a Counter, you need to think about the distance to the enemy, and the time it takes from when the party member is poised to attack until the attack hits. When aiming to score a Counter watch the progress of the IP gauge. Aim for the space between COM and ACT. If a Counter doesn't seem possible, you might try to bide your time with a Defend or Evade. Defend - Defend is a method of reducing the damage from enemy attacks. When you select Defend, the party member takes a defensive stance for a fixed length of time. Defend can also reduce the chances of status changes. Furthermore, more SP is recovered when you are attacked while Defending than when you are not Defending. Evade - Use Evade to move to another location to keep an enemy attack from hitting. You can move to the selected evasion point to try to evade an attack. Evade is effective in escaping from normal attacks and range attacks, but if the evading party member is 'target' of a special attack or magic attack, it cannot be evaded. Party members do sometimes avoid normal enemy attacks on their own. Evade increases the chances of this happening. Treasure Icon ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Treasure Icon (yellow bells) indicates the rough probability of that monster dropping a good item. Treasure Icons sometimes appear in a window. When Treasure Icon appear, there is a good chance that the monster will drop an item when slain. The more Treasure Icons that appear, the better the chance of a good item. But even if there is no icon, the chances of a good item are still not zero. _______________________________________________________________________________ =============================================================================== IV. Walkthrough =============================================================================== - Ryudo - Ryudo is a young Geohound who travels the land with his best and only friend Skye. He has been trained swordplay in his home village Garlan. He's wearing a mask of 'whatever' attitude and never trusts anybody besides himself and Skye. He also doesn't care about nothing except for a job-well-done and a payment for it. His heart is full of pain, pain of memories about his tragic past which he only desires to forget. However, his easygoing life as well as his hidden pain go upside-down when he meets a young Songstress of Granas... - Special Moves - _______________________ __________ _______ ____________________________________ MOVE SP RANGE DESCRIPTION _______________________ __________ _______ ____________________________________ Tenseiken Slash 24 One Upward slash from below Cancel effect.

Now you're ready to head to the pond to collect Wound Salve and Poison Antidote hidden behind the bushes. Continue down the path until you come across ladders and the SAVE POINT use it. Notice the blue arrow pointing up. <Quick Tutorial>--------------------------------------------------------------- ==<SAVE POINT a good old save point. Apart from that it can recover you, it is also the only point in the game where you can save your progress. Unlike Grandia I here SAVE POINTS won't give you useful hints. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- After your first ladders, you'll find your first treasure. Get the Blizzard Charm. Go down the ladder and encounter your first enemy in Grandia II the mottled spider. Spider is an easy foe just kill him with your combo. And his skill web trap that does -1 move is nothing to worry about. Open yet another TREASURE CHEST to find Wound Salve, Hand Grenade and Yomi's Elixir. There is nothing else to do here so continue to Carbo Village. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CARBO VILLAGE ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Items: None Enemies: None Shops: CARBO GENERAL STORE Weapons: Falx - 500G Shamshir - 620G Armor: Cuir Bouilli - 500G Leather Armor - 750G Climbing Boots - 200G Accessory: Heavy Stone - 120G Items: Medicinal Herb - 10G Wound Salve - 24G Poison Antidote - 14G Paralysis Salve - 14G Eye Drops - 14G Regional: Mushroom Cloud - 20G Goblin Toadstool - 30G As you enter the village you'll see conversation between the Granas sisters. They are talking about some ceremony and that they have hired bodyguard (that's you) for Elena. After they retire a man tells you about preparations for the ceremony to 'Drive away the Evil Spirits'(God bless Granas Church!). After that it's all up to you to explore the village. Talk to the townsfolk and visit the shop (if you have the money that is). After that there is nothing much to do so prepare yourself and walk straight into the church. As you walk up to the church you'll hear a song. Who could it be? Well it's none other than Songstress Elena herself singing. Unable to resist the song Ryudo decides to check things out from the inside. In the church Elena is still singing and then Ryudo abruptly interrupts her. She freaks out at the site of lowly Geohound and asks Ryudo to leave. Before things could get hot Carius enters calms Elena and sends her away to prepare for the trip. He then asks you to wait him at the inn. So that's what you should do. Exit the church and enter the inn. At the inn choose 'The priest told me to wait here...'. When Carius arrives he will tell you about the ceremony in Garmia Tower. He explains he needs a bodyguard for one sister. Carius suggests you prepare yourself and come to the church, however as you are already prepared just go strait to the church. You meet Carius and Elena at the front of the church. Elena of course is not happy about the company of filthy Geohound but Carius convinces her so she joins the party. She isn't actually in your party, just for the looks. You are her bodyguard so you'll have to do all the killing by yourself. Exit the village and enter the World Map. - Elena - Elena is a young songstress in Carbo village. She has a kind heart and is very naive. She has spent all her life singing and helping Carius in a local church. She loves everybody and everything but most of all Granas, and she's ready to give up her personal life just to follow the will of Granas. She is in a constant fear of loosing herself. She always has to fight the Dark curse that is lurking in her pure soul. She soon finds comfort she needs in a young Geohound named Ryudo... - Special Moves - _______________________ __________ _______ ____________________________________ MOVE SP RANGE DESCRIPTION _______________________ __________ _______ ____________________________________ Impact Bomb 25 One Ball of light pounds enemy Cancel effect Nightmare Ball 18 Some Bubbles from staff put enemy to sleep Droplets of Life* 90 All Water of life restores all White Apocalypse 80 All Intense light reduces enemy to dust * This move is life itself.

The Floating Arrow shows where you are now. Move it to the place you want or need to go and then press Action. The places where you can or have to go are in white, while the places that are closed are in gray. In Grandia exploration of the World Map is extremely limited because of specific World Map. You can't go where you want and visit the places you want so most of the time you'll have to go just where you need to. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Select The Black Forest 1 because that's where you'll need to go. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- THE BLACK FOREST ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- THE BLACK FOREST 1 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Items: 1 Medicinal Herb Enemies: 2 Dodo HP - 230 SC - 20 MC - 16 EXP - 12 Drop items - Medical Herb or Healing Herb or 7G Special attacks - None Shops: None Go down the path and pick up Medicinal Herb continue walking until you get attacked by 2 Dodos.

Enter the room with the broken Gargoyle statues and encounter your first Gargoyle. Gargoyle is a fairly easy enemy if you're careful. Easy to kill one but watch out when there's 2 or more, because they have a special attack called Howl, more hits it does more damage so watch it! If you see them casting it use Critical and don't forget to heal. After the fight you'll notice treasure lying but you can't take it yet so go through a couple of Gargoyles and spiders and take that treasure that you couldn't get before 150G. Reach the SAVE POINT recover, save. Don't go up yet take a moment go through the other way to get Wound Salve. And this floor is done, so save again head up to the top floor of the Tower and prepare for a Mini Boss battle. GARMIA TOWER TOP FLOOR ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Items: None Enemies: 2 Gargoyles Shops: None MINI BOSS BATTLE ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Boss: 2 Gargoyles HP - 380 SC - 54 MC - 21 EXP - 18 Drop items - Holy Ashes or Sword of Purity or 12G Special attacks - Howl (damage depends on number of hits, one) Shops: None Quickly attack a couple of times the first Gargoyle with combo until he's dead or nearly dead. After that they'll start using Howl. Be careful don't let them both cast it let 1 Gargoyle use Howl and finish the other one with Critical. After that the 1 that's left should be an easy kill. After the fight Ryudo checks half-dead Tessa lying on the floor. She tells you that the ceremony went wrong and that you should save Elena. Then she's dead meat. Try to go through the only door but it won't budge so Skye will try to look for another way. He then points you the window. See the ! mark? Press Action! ==<Quick Tutorial>------------------------------------------------------------- (!) Action Mark. Press an action button to trigger an event like climbing a ladder or breaking a window. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ryudo then smashes the window with his blade and jumps through it. In the next room he discovers strange Darkness and Elena floating with Dark wings attached to her. After Ryudo snaps out his flashback memories, he rushes to save Elena. They escape the Tower by rope into the woods. And the Tower is covered by the Darkness. In the woods when Elena regains consciousness she feels depressed and wants to die. All her friends are dead and she believes that they have already lost to Valmar. But Geohound Ryudo the cold, unfeeling brute convinces her that she can't bring anyone back from the dead and that they have to go back to the village. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CARBO VILLAGE (second visit) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Items: 1 Gold Statue Enemies: Millenia HP - A LOT SC - None MC - None EXP - None Drop items - None Special attacks - Zap!

Everything looks calm nothing new or out of the ordinary. It's evening so all the doors are closed and everyone is sleeping. Save and visit the shop. Nothing to do so just escort Elena back to the church. At the entrance Carius is already waiting for you. Ryudo, Elena and Carius proceed to the inside of the church to have conversation there. Ryudo briefly explains what happened. Carius then sends Elena to rest and explains Ryudo what really happened in the Tower. Those Dark wings were actually the wings of Valmar. During battle between Valmar and Granas, Valmar was not destroyed but only defeated. He grows in power and seeks to break the seals which have kept him bound. And now the day of Valmar's rebirth and thus destruction of the world is near. Even the 'innocent' Pope Zera Innocentius is not enough to stop Valmar. Carius then explains that Elena is going to die because of the accursed wings of Darkness. Well Ryudo doesn't care of course and is about to leave but Carius suggests him yet another job offer. He wants him to be a bodyguard (again) for Elena. Carius wants to send her to the Granas Cathedral, because he thinks that Zera might help Elena. Ryudo plays hard to get but after hearing that the payment will be gold statue he says that he'll think about it. Before this conversation could come to an end Ryudo and Carius hear some noise coming from the outside so they ran to look what's happened. Outside they find some strange woman with dark wings (hmmm... looks familiar). The woman plays innocent but with the dark wings sticking out from her back she hardly convinced anyone. Carius realizes what's cooking and sends a magic ball at her but with a zero affect. The strange woman will find that the statue the church along with the townsfolk is most irritating. Then she goes crazy and decides to burn everything. Ryudo stops her from doing it and asks her if she is really a good person. Strange woman feels offended and decides to kick Ryudo's ass. If you think that you can defeat her than think again. Notice her HP it's ????/???? that means that her HP is beyond your imagination and ability. Anyway when she is tired of you she'll just Zap! you and you're toast (paralyzed). She then introduces herself as Millenia. After this kind of Shock Ryudo comes into senses and accepts the job offer. And for those few of you who actually defeated her: nice job! I can imagine how hard it was. And for those of you who defeated her using cheats shame--on you! So you're back at the inn. After a little conversation with Skye, Carius and Elena join you. Carius then hands you the Gold Statue (500G that's a fortune! And the ability to restore 5HP that must be heaven sent!). Now you're prepared for the journey and Elena is actually joining your party. Just look at her Status, level 7, (that's what you get for singing instead of fighting) a lousy level but it's all up to you to make it better. Go to the World Map and choose INOR MAUNTAINS 2. ==<Quick Tutorial-------------------------------------------------------------- ==<From this point on when you visit the inn, you'll have anther option to choose apart from Recover, Cancel and Save. It's Spend the Night. This option goes back to Grandia I where you could sit with your party at the dinner table and discuss your adventures or just chat. When you select someone that character speaks others may speak to. When you choose Ryudo you can end the dinner and thus the conversation.

But be careful you never know what may be inside the next mushroom it can be 50G or it can be an enemy or an item. Head all the way to the southern end and grab 150G. When you're done with the mushroom slaughter continue up the mountain path. Then choose the path with Poison Antidote on it. Continue heading up the mountain until you come across another fork.

The tent is built (man, where did they get that huge tent?!) and they sit by the fire arguing. After that Elena goes to sleep and Ryudo chats with Skye a little. Then he also goes to sleep. Elena wasn't actually sleeping, she overheard everything and had a sudden change of heart towards Ryudo. It's morning Ryudo is sleeping but Elena wakes him up and she's feeling happy and perky and everything. She apologizes to Ryudo and Skye for misjudging them and asks them to get her to Granas Cathedral. Go up the incline until those huge stones collapse. Head down where they have fallen and collect 50G. Go back and continue until you reach the ladders climb them. Notice the TREASURE CHEST you can't have it yet. Keep walking until you find 3 rocks some gold and spiders kill the spiders guarding 150G take it. Enable the first rock you see it'll roll down the path and smash those rocks surrounding the TREASURE CHEST. Go down and open the BIG TREASURE CHEST in it you'll find Poison antidote, Yomi's Elixir and the Crystal Brooch. Now take care of the hole that's keeping you from getting Climbing Hat. And the third rock will reveal hidden enemy Grag Snakes. Climb down the ladders head down along the path and secure those about-to-fall stones. When you find ladders use them and head down. Collect 50G make your way into the World Map and choose Agear Town. ==<Quick Tutorial-------------------------------------------------------------- ==<At this point in the game I really suggest you go back to the mountain and fight some random battles.

Ryudo and Elena watch the town view. Elena is puzzled whether this is a town in a first place. Because it's completely trashed. Talk to the guards and visit the shop. Guards tell you what happened. It appears that this town was attacked by monsters and was completely ruined only Vyx the innkeeper and the guards remain. Nothing else to do so head straight to the inn. At the inn you meet up with an old friend of Ryudo. You chat a little bit about this and that. Then you notice young boy talking to some clowns. Boy's name is Roan and he lost some kind of medal and that medal was a memento of his mother. He begs the clowns to help him find it but they are to scared to do it and tell him to ask a Geohound. The boy then starts begging Ryudo the Geohound for help. Ryudo says he's busy with one job already and that the boy should give it up. Elena tells Ryudo that they could help Roan but Ryudo quickly shuts her up by feeding her Kuko berries. He then starts complaining about the company of Elena and that he could just cut his way through those monsters if it wasn't for her. Meantime Elena stuffed herself with Kuko berries and is totally drunk. After Ryudo takes Elena upstairs to sleep he returns to his room and decides to go clear the monsters out by himself. And then all of a sudden Ryudo hears a laugh. From nowhere appears Millenia and paralyzes both Ryudo and Skye. She then tries to, well you know, take advantage of poor Ryudo. But her attempt was interrupted by Rissoto the clown. He tells that Roan has gone somewhere. Well after that Millenia unparalyzes Ryudo and Skye and magically decides to join your party, just like that! Go down the stairs where clowns have gathered. They're wondering whether to go save the boy or not. In the end they decide that they should go and rescue him. But then Ryudo says that he is going to hunt some monsters and that he can bring the boy back if he'd find him. The clowns will want to go along but Ryudo refuses their offer but takes Millenia with him (smart move). Save, leave the inn and head through the town to the DURHAM CAVE 1. - Millenia - Millenia is the most mysterious character of all. She occupies Elena's body and has enormous magical power. Millenia is a part of Valmar and therefore she is on a mission to gather all the pieces of Valmar and then be reborn as a complete Valmar.

Should he cast his Tornado Horn use Critical. After the battle Troglodytes are gone but the Minotaur is still standing. Not for long though Millenia casts some fire magic on the Minotaur and he becomes toast, literally! To Ryudo's amazement she will call herself 'The Wings of Valmar'. She then tells Roan to find his medal. He searches the Minotaur and finds his medal. When regain control leave the cave. At the cave entrance Millenia tells that she's feeling tired. Then Millenia will disappear and Elena will appear, so Millenia actually transformed into Elena! Well it figures Elena WAS possessed by the Dark Wings. Elena of course doesn't know or remember anything. At the inn Ryudo explains all that's happened while Elena was unavailable. Elena is shocked. Some clowns show up and start arguing. They talk about Millenia a little more and then decide to continue their quest to Granas Cathedral as quickly as possible. Roans feels a bit lonely and wants to join your party. With the party of three leave the inn visit the shop if you need, take Poff Nut from the guy standing in the town ruin and exit to the World Map.

Roans runs somewhere then comes back and invites them to enjoy the view of the Granacliffs. Man, this really reminds me Grandia I. Granacliffs are somewhat like End of The World in Grandia I, big and splits something into two. So anyway, Elena have never seen Granacliffs so she gets all sentimental and all. Ryudo, the more experienced one, finds that the name 'Battle of Good and Evil' is kind of old. They still have to cross it and there is no bridge. What should they do? AND THEN SUDENNLY! Some hilarious unidentified flying object bursts from the clouds. Roan explains that that's the Skyway and they should ride it. After that St. Heim Papal State is only a stone throw away according to Roan. Elena gets excited but it seems like there is nothing that would surprise Ryudo. They decide to spend the night here. At the evening meal by the fire the party talks about 'The Battle of Good and Evil' Darkness and light, Millenia and what to do next. In the middle of the night Elena wakes up from a nightmare and wakes up Ryudo. He wants to go outside but suddenly Ryudo feels that something is wrong because everything is to quite. They hear unpleasant sound and all the party goes outside to check it out. Outside the tent you find some kind of giant bumbling something about teaching someone a lesson and that he found you. Whatever! Just beat the crap out of this stupid lamo! BOSS BATTLE ~~~~~~~~~~~ Boss: Beast-Man HP - 4800 SC - 100 MC - 0 EXP - 150 Drop items - None Special attacks - Beast Fang Cut (cancel effect, one) This guy has a lot of HP also he's very fast. He has a very powerful attack called Beast Fang Cut that deals major damage and has a cancel effect (ouch!). If that's not enough for you, he's normal attack is actually a combo of two successive hits, also big damage. You have one advantage in this fight, there are three of you and he's only one. So let Elena do cancel all the time and let her heal if necessary. Meantime Ryudo and Roan should use their most powerful skills (Tenseiken Slash and Dragon Raise, right?). Enjoy the victory. After the fight the Beast-Man comes to his senses and tells Ryudo that he's not the one he's looking for. Although he doesn't have a death smell, he has smell of Melfice the destroyer of hid village. Beast-Man calls Melfice the Demon-Man. It seems that Ryudo and Skye knows this Melfice fellow. Mareg (the Beast-Man) then apologizes to Ryudo for attacking him and walks away into the bushes. Ryudo than explains that Melfice is his brother. Strangely but Ryudo explains nothing more and then you regain control. Go along the edge and then turn right and up to take the Shell Armor. Go down take 200G. Continue walking until you reach several trees there you can get Swiftness Nut. Nothing to do here so go to the World Map and select LILIGUE CITY. ==<Quick Tutorial-------------------------------------------------------------- ==<BAKED PLAINS is a very good place for training.

They are about to leave the city because it is cursed by Darkness. Ryudo asks is the Skyway available but they say that it is closed to the public. The Skyway is for Gadan's personal use only. Ryudo and Roan are surprised by this unexpected turn of events. Family leaves the city. Elena feels tired and wants to rest. Roan says that they could try this regions delicacy if he could remember its name. Visit the shop and go to the inn just the opposite of the shop. At the inn the innkeeper tells you that the only thing they have is Arum root, the delicacy Roan mentioned. The party is hungry and decides to take it anyway. Choose to spend the night. At the inn room party is talking about how horrible Arum root is. It's not edible it tastes like sand. After the 'meal' party decides to go visit Gadan tomorrow. The next morning party sets out to visit Gadan. As you walk through the city Elena notices a boy sitting next to the huge stone pillar. Elena asks the boy what's the matter and the boy says he's hungry. Elena then try's to feed him an apple but he runs away. A man walks up to you and says that you shouldn't give the boy any food because it's to tempting. The he explains that people of this city cannot eat normal food even if they wanted to. They can only bear the disgusting Arum root. Ryudo gives a good advice, not to talk to strangers because they could be diseased. But Elena still wants to help these people and runs away. Ryudo and Roan fallow her to the Engineer's home. The family is arguing whether to leave city or not because they cannot eat Arum root any more. Elena asks what is happening to this city Engineer says that the people of this city have lost their sense of taste so they can eat only Arum root. Ryudo doesn't give a damn about the problem and asks Engineer about the Skyway. Engineer tells that you should go to Gadan's mansion and ask him. Gadan's house is at the back of the city near the tree, go there. As you enter you'll see a really fat guy sitting and stuffing himself with food (man, he must be a mutant just look at him, that tongue, Shlurp! And look at this place, nice statue). Guess what, that's Gadan himself. He informs you that they are not taking people with Skyway right now because it drops their business efficiency. Then he notices that you have a sister with you and decides that this is also a business. Ryudo asks how much does he want for the ride. 10000G that's the price. Ryudo agrees without a single thought about the money. Ryudo wants to leave as soon as possible but Gadan says that the last tram has already left and the next should be tomorrow. Elena starts arguing about the food, Gadan says that he is blessed and that he has nothing to do with it and everything. Anyway leave. When they leave Gadan's house Elena is still angry but Ryudo has a bigger problem, the money. Where could they find that kind of money? I like Skye, always straight as an arrow, he gives a damn good advice that they should just waste that fat ass (but he forgot one thing: this is an RPG). Elena is still concerned about the townsfolk and wants to go to the church. Ryudo on the other hand doesn't, but after a while he agrees. So the party sets out for the church. The church is on a small mountain near the city. Enter the church and speak with Holy father. Elena asks father about the tasteless problem. The Holy Father doesn't know a thing about it and wants to know himself. He thinks that maybe Lord Granas has turned his face away from the unholy sinners of this city. Ryudo as always cracks some jokes about Gadan and Father says that Gadan used to be a good person and was loved by everyone, but then he changed. Father then invites them to go upstairs to see the truth for themselves from above. Go upstairs and talk to him. Upstairs you look through the window and Elena notices that those pillars might be a part of single ruined temple. Those pillars were damaged when the city was built but they are still standing. Roan says that people here are blessed because the city was built on the ruins of the Granas Temple. Ryudo then will come to a conclusion that this temple might be a temple of Valmar. Well either way Ryudo doesn't care but Elena does she wants to investigate because the seal may be broken. Ryudo explains that he's not being paid for this and that they should get to the Cathedral as soon as possible. Elena plays stubborn and finally says that either way she's going and there's no stopping her. Ryudo as her bodyguard has to go along and protect her. You're back downstairs Father tells you that you should be careful the dungeon is dangerous. Whatever, as that could stop you! Leave the church. When you leave the church you meet up with Mareg. Ryudo asks Mareg what's up. The Beast-Man tells that the smell of this place is somewhat offending to the earth. Ryudo then starts asking various questions about his brother Melfice. He hasn't got a clue. Elena then simply asks Mareg to join their party. He's always ready to fight the Evil and joins. - Mareg - Mareg is a Beast-Man warrior. He comes from a distant Nanan village. He's battle skills are very high and he never lets down a party member in need. Though he may look like a barbaric-savage-brute, but the power of his body is only surpassed by the power of his mind.

LILIGUE CAVE, CAVERNS ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Items: 1 Smelling Salts 1 Burning Bow 1 Flare Dress Enemies: None Shops: None In the caverns they discover an orb-like object, which seems to be a broken seal of Lord Granas. The seal should have kept a Piece of Valmar at bay but now that it's broken the piece is free. Suddenly a Spider-Crab-like monster jumps out of nowhere and eats Elena without a word of warning (Yum!Yum!). But what monster didn't know is that Elena can morph herself into Millenia. So that's what happened, Millenia blasted out of that monsters belly and became quite angry with this kind of poor treatment towards her. The monster chickened out and ran from the battlefield. Millenia tells you that you should chase it. Collect Smelling Salts, Burning Bow and Flare Dress and only then chase after him to the LILGUE CAVE, TEMPLE RUINS. LILGUE CAVE, TEMPLE RUINS ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Items: None Enemies: Boss Shops: None BOSS BATTLE ~~~~~~~~~~~ Boss: Valmar's Tongue Left Hand Right Hand Head HP - 8000 HP - 4000 HP - 4000 HP - 5000 SC - 1200 MC - 800 EXP - 500 Drop items - Ancient Cuirass, Revival Gem, Book of Wizards, 800G Special attacks - Flamethrower (Fire damage, some) Spew Venom (poison effect, some) Burn Flame (Fire damage, some) Huge Leap (damage, all) Gluttony (Def -1, some) Starving Tongue (drain HP, all) Snooze (sleep effect, all) Freeze! (move -1, all) The monster is actually Gadan himself, fat bastard! He wants to eat you again! (See the tongue?) Anyway prepare yourself because he's hungry! There are 2 ways to kill him either way you'll get all the items. 1 - This guy has lots of different attacks. First attack his head will your most powerful attacks (Flying Tenseiken, Beast-King Smash Fallen Wings and Dragon Raise). Next turn, finish the head and that should cancel his Snooze and Burn Flame skills. Then deal with his hands use which moves you've left and destroy his hands one by one, that should cut of his Spew Venom and Flamethrower abilities. And he'll be left only with his body. But don't get comfortable because that's his most deadly part. His 4 body skills are more than enough to defend himself AND kick your but, so be careful. Your SP and MP should be pretty much used up but if you have something left use it, if not just attack him with combo or items. But always let 1 character do Critical all the time, it won't cancel all his skills but will give some time. If you're in a stable position keep attacking him and keep using Critical that should be enough to kill him. 2 - Or you just focus on his body only. Use Flying Tenseiken, Beast-King Smash Fallen Wings and Dragon Raise only on his body and when you kill the body the monster also dies. (Always remember that any multi-part Boss doesn't have to be killed completely to get all the items. Killing the main body should be enough, but it's all up to you) After the fight Millenia absorbs The Tongue of Valmar and feels full of power. Gadan is dead. Then Millenia shifts back to Elena. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- LILGUE CITY(second visit) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Items: None Enemies: None Shops: LILGUE GENARAL STORE Weapons: Army Saber - 750G Samurai Blade - 900G Iron Rod - 720G Flame Staff - 1250G Battle Rod - 960G Multiple Knife - 650G Hunter's Knife - 880G Armor: Quilted Silk - 800G Guardian Robe - 1200G Chain Mail - 950G Plate Mail - 1400G Guardian Hat - 450G Iron Bandana - 480G Iron Helm - 600G Hunter's Boots - 400G Accessory: Gauntlet - 800G Fire Charm - 400G Wind Charm - 400G Earth Charm - 400G Lightning Charm - 400G Blizzard Charm - 400G Items: Medicinal Herb - 10G Wound Salve - 24G Healing Herb - 50G Poison Antidote - 14G Paralysis Salve - 14G Eye Drops - 14G Smelling Salts - 20G Yomi's Elixir - 500G Regional: Hand Grenade - 60G Insecticide Bomb - 60G Fireball Scroll - 50G Whirlwind Scroll - 60G Patience Nut - 20G Swiftness Nut - 20G Kuko Berry - 10G You're back at the city, Ryudo shortly explains to Elena what happened. Mareg tells that the smell of Tongue of Valmar is the same as smell of Melfice. Ryudo then asks Mareg if he could join him on his quest after the job. Mareg agrees. After The Tongue of Valmar was defeated the city was cured of the tasteless curse. The party decides to go to Granas Cathedral as soon as possible. When you gain control go to the inn recover and spend the night there. In the morning proceed to the Skyway. When you enter the Skyway Station toy meet Engineers family, they thank and leave. Measure for measure, all's well that ends well the townsfolk have been saved. When you're ready board the Skyway. ==<Quick Tutorial-------------------------------------------------------------- ==<Attention! After you board the Skyway you won't be able to come back, so you'll be making a big step further into the game. I strongly recommend you go and train. Try to level up your characters. To do so go back to BAKED PLAINS 2 and keep encountering Sandman, they'll give you about 90 SC and MC and about 80 exp, plus 150G. After that your characters will be pumped up with a lot of SC and MC. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The party is in the Skyway discussing events in the Ruined Temple. But before they could finish it something happens. Elena says that Valmar is inside her. Everything starts shaking and Elena says that Darkness is coming. You'll see a red flash and an ominous shine of the Valmar moon in the sky. After that the Skyway crashes down into the woods. After the Skyway crashes Ryudo says that they've got problems, Mareg then asks everyone to check for injuries. Ryudo then notices that Elena is gone. Ryudo starts to panic. But Mareg calms him down by saying that he can smell her and points the way. They run to find Elena. You now see Elena unconscious on the ground. Some familiar voice wakes her up. The voice then tells Elena to look into the shiny plate near her. Elena does so and discovers that the mysterious voice belongs to Millenia. Elena recognizes the Wings of Valmar in Millenia and tells she's a Dark One and a devourer of souls. Millenia says that Elena should be thanking her because she saved Elena's life. Elena doesn't understand anything. The rest of the party then finds Elena sitting on the ground and mumbling something about the Day of Darkness and such nonsense. Elena then wakes up and tells that she's ok. The party then decides to head for St. Heim Mountains and after that straight for the Granas Cathedral. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- LUMIR FOREST (first visit) AND CRASH SITE ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Items: 1 Lumir Flower 400G 1 Insecticide Bomb 1200G 400G 1200G Enemies: Big Foot HP - 750 SC - 47 MC - 35 EXP - 29 Drop items - Myriad Power Nut or Lumir Flower or 46G Special attacks - None Shops: None Start walking the only path you've got until you come across the snowdrift. Walk into the snowdrift, move around a bit, then continue your quest (:E. Go right through another snowdrift and then another snowdrift (this is fun!) until you reach the edge of Granacliffs, walk along the edge to take Lumir Flower. Go back to the fork and take the other path. At another fork take the left turn and take 400G. Keep walking to LUMIR FOREST. Save at the SAVE POINT and go encounter some Big Foots. In the area with that huge stone take a TREASURE CHEST that has Insecticide Bomb. And watch out for the falling snow, it's cold. Just behind the TREASURE CHEST will be the entrance to the LUMIR FOREST, CAVERN 1 but don't go there yet. Instead go and grab 1200G first. Then continue to LUMIR FOREST, CAVERN 1.

All the paths will be hollow except two, one will contain Oracle's Staff. Other will be an extended one, that's where you'll have to go. Pick up 400G from the right path. Go alongside the right wall until you reach Insecticide Bomb. Keep walking along that wall until you reach a fork, left path will be closed by the root, but no matter because it's empty. Instead take the right path that will take you to LUMIR FOREST. But before you go notice a hidden root in the right wall, see it? Cut it and take 1200G. Then continue. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- LUMIR FOREST (second visit) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Items: 1 Blueberry 400G 1 Icefang Stone 1 Arctic Cape 1 Ice Pick Enemies: Big Foot HP - 750 SC - 47 MC - 35 EXP - 29 Drop items - Myriad Power Nut or Lumir Flower or 46G Special attacks - None Shops: None You're back at the forest. There are 3 items in this area, they are easy to find. The Blueberry is in the middle of 3 trees, 400G to the right, and you'll have to hit the snow near the big rock to get the BIG TREASURE CHEST and Icefang Stone, Arctic Cape and Ice Pick in the chest. After the treasure hunting go down the path. It will start getting foggy, and soon it'll be hard to see. At this point if you'll want to return you won't be able to, because some magical trees will be blocking your way back (how did those get there???). Anyway you don't need to go back so just keep going until you reach THE GARDEN OF DREAMS. THE GARDEN OF DREAMS ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Items: None Enemies: None Shops: None Ryudo comes to a conclusion that the party is lost. Mareg finds that there is absolutely no smell of life here. Then the fog will clear out, you'll see a strange flying ball-like creature. It'll ask what are you doing here and tell you that this is its garden. The ball-like creature is actually a girl, she calls this place Garden of Happiness. Anyone who comes here forgets his problems and feels happy (brainwash). The girl tells you that her eyes are bad but thanks to Granas she can see. The girl hoped that Elena would understand how beautiful this place really is, and if she doesn't that she should ask girl with the black wings. I guess the girl is pretty much nuts because then she asks Elena not to eat her and then disappears. Ryudo suggests to move on. No monsters no items nothing, weird place it is. Just get the hell out of there from where you came. The garden disappeared and the party doesn't know what's happened. You're back near the BIG TREASURE CHEST and the path is once again open. So through it again until you reach a fork. The left path is closed with a fence (where did THAT came from???) but the right is open, so use it to get yourself to EAST SILESIA and select MIRUMU VILLAGE. ==<Quick Tutorial-------------------------------------------------------------- ==<I suggest that you go back to the forest for some Big Foot hunting. Very good SC and MC. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MIRUMU VILLAGE ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Items: None Enemies: None Shops: MIRUMU GENERAL STORE Weapons: Swordfish Sword - 2200G Oracle's Staff - 1800G Flying Fish Bow - 2400G Flint Knife - 2200G Hammer Axe - 2200G Armor: Pixie's Robe - 2600G Swordfish Armor - 2800G Feathered Hat - 1120G Magnolia Bandana - 1080G Swordfish Helmet - 1250G Crampons - 420G Accessory: Arctic Cape - 800G Earth Charm - 400G Poison Charm - 250G Paralysis Charm - 250G Items: Medicinal Herb - 10G Wound Salve - 24G Healing Herb - 50G Poison Antidote - 14G Paralysis Salve - 14G Purifying Herb - 40G Torte's Reedpipe - 30G Smelling Salts - 20G Regional: Lumir Flower - 40G Blueberry - 40G Mogay Bomb - 250G Insecticide Bomb - 60G Sleeping Harp - 250G When you enter the village some villagers will spot you and will be happy because you have a sister with you. They quickly go ran and ring the Chief of this village. When the chief arrives he starts begging Elena to save his village. The party doesn't know what's going on. So anyway when everything clears out the chief invites to inside to explain things. So guess what's bothering this village? Curse (surprise!). The villagers keep falling asleep and can't wake up for days. And they all keep dreaming the same dream, some horrible eye keeps watching them. You can't help them because your party's just passing through. The chief then asks you to spend the night. Ryudo agrees. Eventually you should go to the Inn, but I suggest you explore the village first. Then when you're done, go to the Inn. There will be a woman at the Inn called Irina. She's happy that the sister has finally arrived, and asks her to help her son Nicolas, he's also asleep. But you're just a traveler so you can't help her, tough for her but life goes on. Irina the invites you to look at her son. You're at the back room and Nicolas is sleeping like a baby. Irina then suggests that he maybe in the Garden of Dreams. Elena says that this must be the place they past through on their way here. Irina tells you that Garden of Dreams is just a fairy tale, a Fantasy (poor Irina, little does she know that Fantasy is reality!). Elena then tells Irina that they met a girl at the garden with a scar above her eye. Irina says that that was Aira, Sandra's daughter. Irina leaves and Elena tells Ryudo she wants to meet the girl ones more. Ryudo starts joking around, as always. Leave the Inn and cross the village to see Aira again. Elena then asks Aira what did she mean by asking her not to eat her. Elena meant just that. Then Sandra shows up and gets angry with Aira. She then tells the party to leave Aira alone. Mareg explains that she shouldn't mind his brute appearance. Sandra then invites the party inside. You're inside Sandra's house. Ryudo asks what's with the secrecy. Sandra tells that Aira is not liked by everyone. Aira then asks Roan to show her his medal. Sandra says that for years she has been looking for medicinal herbs, and she prayed for Aira's sight, but everyone called her mixtures 'witch's brews' and her prayers 'summonings'. But because of the prayer Aira's blindness has been cured. Anyway Ryudo then suggests they head back to the Inn and spend the night. When the party was about to leave Aira tells that some really scary people have come. Mareg suggests they should investigate and Ryudo agrees. Leave the house and cross the bridge. You'll then see that someone has arrived to the village. Go towards the entrance and you'll a scene where The Cathedral Knights arrive. Their leader Selene says that she shall dispel the darkness and that this village is fool of it. She then keeps on talking some religion-fanatic stuff. But most important thing is that the village is now closed and none shall leave nor enter. When you gain control talk to Selene, she recognizes a Granas sister in your party. Elena says that she is a songstress of Granas and is on her way to the Cathedral to report to his holiness Zera. Selene tells that Elena's mission must be very important and her is as well. Talk to her again and then she'll finally notice Ryudo. Ryudo introduces as Ryudo and says that Elena is under his protection. Ryudo wants to leave the village but Selene can't let them trough. Ryudo tries to convince her but she is stubborn. Selene tells that should she find a sinner in this village, then it's her holy duty to purify this entire village through fire. Then she leaves with the villagers to discuss the matter. The party decides to spend the night here because security is very tight. When you regain control go to the Inn and spend the night. At the table party discusses the current situation and the holy knights. After the meal Elena is in her room and Ryudo shows up. He asks her what's up. She tells that the moon looks eerie. She starts talking about Millenia, Ryudo says that she's ok. Elena tells that it can't be because Millenia is the darkness itself. Elena thinks that Millenia wants to restore Valmar to life. Ryudo try's to cheer her up but she's dead serious. Ryudo then gets the picture and decides to put an end to it, draws a knife at her. Elena then drops to her knees and asks Ryudo to make it quick. Ryudo can't belief her stupidity, he was just joking. Ryudo says that Elena should go to bed. When she leaves Ryudo decides to go to bed himself. Ryudo is having a nightmare. He is in a blue space and it is full of Eyeballs. He runs bet there's no end to the Eyeballs. Then Ryudo stops and turns around to find that he's being watched by a Big Eyeball. He then tells that this is his soul and that the Eyeball should get the hell out of here. Ryudo wakes up. Skye asks him what's the matter. Ryudo tells him that he wants to forget his past. When you'll want to leave Ryudo will say that he can't shake the feeling that he's still being watched. And he's right. Check the window, and you'll find that some floating eyeball is watching Ryudo. The eyeball will then fly away. Roan and Mareg will run into Ryudo's room and say that they also have had nightmares. Ryudo then tells that those eyeballs must be the cause. Elena will come to and the party decides to check up on Irina. Go to Irina's room. When the party arrives the eyeball is already floating over Irina. They're to late. Skye tells that he'll follow the eyeball and that the party should keep up. Go outside. Outside you'll see lots of flying Eyeballs. The Eyeballs will then flee to the MYSTERIOUS FISSURE, UNDERGROUND, follow them. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MYSTERIOUS FISSURE ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MYSTERIOUS FISSURE, UNDERGROUND ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Items: 1 Raincoat 500G 1 Wing Boots 1 Bone Harp 1 Purifying Herb 1500G Enemies: Giant Crab HP - 560 SC - 37 MC - 37 EXP - 36 Drop items - Healing Herb or Quake Stone or 12G Special attacks - Attack (multi hit attack, one) Sleep Dance (sleep effect, one) Twin Ogre HP - 680 SC - 52 MC - 29 EXP - 27 Drop items - Hand Grenade or Ogre Helm or 38G Special attacks - Throw Buddy (def -1, one) Hammerhead HP - 830 SC - 48 MC - 38 EXP - 33 Drop items - Paralysis Salve or Seed of life or 48G Special attacks - Giga Spread (stun effect, some) Shops: None Go straight left and take Raincoat.

MYSTERIOUS FISSURE, DEPTHS ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Items: None Enemies: None Shops: None The party will discover another broken Granas seal. And then The Eyeballs will attack. MINI BOSS BATTLE ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Boss: 4 Eyeball Bat HP - 3000 SC - 225 MC - 225 EXP - 50 Drop items - Book of Warriors and 195G Special attacks - Delta Burst (damage, one) An easy fight. Well you can either kill one by one using your most powerful moves, or you use your most destructive magic on all the Eyeballs, it's up to you. But all they really do is make a lot of noise, that's all. After the fight Ryudo tells that these must have been small fish and that the real villain is somewhere else. The party is back at the Inn discussing status of the village and the situation. Ryudo says that he's been having bad dreams about his past, Mareg and Roan have also had some nightmares. Ryudo thinks that this is all Aira's doing. Elena disagree. Villager arrives to inform you that Selene is conducting some kind of experiment and wants everyone in the town hall. Go there. You meet Selene in the town hall. Ryudo then tells her that the she should be chasing after the flying Eyeballs not people. Selene agrees but thinks that those Eyeballs were merely servants of the real darkness, and that she should look for a person. She talks crap and then leaves. The party then decides to find the thing that is controlling the Eyeballs in the fissure before Selene can do anything. Go back to the fissure. As you walk up to the fissure Aira calls you. She wants Elena to go to a happy place where there is no pain and no suffering. When she runs to the shed, follow her. In the shed Aira falls down into the hole, follow her. You're back at the seal room. Aira keeps talking about love and happiness. She then invites you to The Garden of Dreams. You're back at The Garden of Dreams. Aira still keeps talking about happiness when a third eyeball pops out of her forehead. Aira says that this is the eye that Granas gave her (uhu, right!). Elena tells her to stop it. Aira then will feel that her mother is in trouble and will run away. You'll have to go back to the village. In the village Sandra is being pushed around by Selene. Selene wants to know where Aira is, but Sandra won't tell. Selene can't decide what she should with the sinners. She then turns to villagers for advice. The crowd as always side with the stronger. Sandra begs Selene for mercy, but she won't listen. Then Aira shows up with her happiness. Selene spots the eye and comes to a conclusion that Aira is the true Evil. When you gain control head to where all the action is going on. You'll find Sandra lying on the ground. You hear a voice of Selene. Ryudo tells Roan and Mareg to wait here while he and Elena check it out. Selene is after the little girl, and the eye. Ryudo comes and tries to rescue Aira. Selene then tells Elena to bring Aira to her, Elena can't do it and wonders if there is another way. Selene says that there isn't. Aira then sees her mother and runs to her, Sandra is terrified by the third eye, she thinks Aira is a monster. Aira then disappears. With no one to purify Selene leaves. Ryudo checks up on Elena, and then Millenia appears. Sandra says that Aira is beyond help and that she should be killed. Ryudo gets angry and tells that he will save Aira no matter what (what's wrong with him?). Millenia has a good idea, to rip the eye out of her. But Aira's soul will die. Millenia then tells Ryudo to give it up. Ryudo then gets really, really angry (damn, he's angry). Then the eyeballs come flying all over the place. Ryudo decides to check out The Garden of Dreams. You're back at the garden. There is no one here, but Millenia says that she's here and opens a portal on the ground. Hit the portal. You're back at the seal room, but now it ahs a portal of some sort. Millenia explains that this is an entrance to Aira's soul. Go through the portal to explore Aira's soul. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- AIRA'S SPACE ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- AIRA'S SPACE 1 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Items: 1 Silver Feather 500G 1 Yomi's Elixir 1 Red Shoes 500G Enemies: Star Mirage HP - 720 SC - 39 MC - 19 EXP - 16 Drop items - Eye Drops or Seed of Running or 73G Special attacks - Power Press (damage, one) Twin Ogre HP - 680 SC - 52 MC - 29 EXP - 27 Drop items - Hand Grenade or Ogre Helm or 38G Special attacks - Throw Buddy (def -1, one) Hammerhead HP - 830 SC - 48 MC - 38 EXP - 33 Drop items - Paralysis Salve or Seed of life or 48G Special attacks - Giga Spread (stun effect, some) Shops: None Go right to take the Silver Feather.

BOSS BATTLE ~~~~~~~~~~~ Boss: Valmar's Eye Left Tendril Right Tendril HP - 12000 HP - 6000 HP - 6000 SC - 1800 MC - 1800 EXP - 800 Drop items - Warp Knife, Gravity Egg, Demon's Tears and 1200G Special attacks - Pollen Spew (cancel effect, some) Crackle (ice damage, one) 4 Eyeball Bat HP - 3000 Special attacks - Delta Burst (damage, one) Here's how to kill him. First deal with those flying eyeballs, they are just annoying. But don't kill them with your best moves, instead use powerful magic on all ore some enemies. After eyeballs are wasted, Valmar's Eye is left. After your magic his tendrils should be half-dead by now, but anyway you'll have to finish them next. After all his minions are gone, he's almost defenseless. It's time to kick Valmar's Eye's but by using your most deadly single enemy move. He won't last long. After the fight you're back at the Garden. Millenia is about to devour Aira but Ryudo stops her. He says that there should be another way, but there isn't. Then Aira's mother shows up. Sandra tells that she loves Aira and that it's all her fault. Millenia then devours Aira's soul and Aira dies along with the Garden of Dreams. Sandra says that she can't live without Aira anymore. Millenia then tells that she doesn't care and that nobody cares. Ryudo gets angry. Millenia then points to a flower and says that this is Aira's heart, and if Sandra can make this place a blooming garden again then maybe Aira may return. You're back at Sandra's house. Sandra is dead serious about reviving that garden. Leave the house and cross the ridge. You meet Selene, she tells you that she deal with Sandra and Aira but Ryudo says that it's enough purifying for today. Selene leaves and you regain control, go to the World Map and choose ST.

Elena tells him that it's because the souls of the people are weak and that she must bring them to light. Mareg and Roan return, Ryudo asks them where were they. Mareg then starts talking some wise stuff (damn, that brute). Anyway he meant that they were lost. At the evening meal the party discuses the Cathedral and the Pope. Use the SAVE POINT and proceed.

Finally ST. Heim Papal State. Guard approaches you and tells that this is the place. Ryudo asks is the Cathedral here? Guard then asks you what business do you have. Elena then explains that she came with a mission from Carbo village to see his holiness Zera. Guard understands that it must be important so he wants to escort them to the Cathedral. But Elena wants to tomorrow. Guard says that he'll inform Zera. Elena then asks what Ryudo is going to do. He doesn't know but he is concern about his brother. Roan and Mareg both decide to go along with Ryudo. When you gain control I suggest you explore the town, visit the shop, talk to the townsfolk and check out the Library(just love that librarian). Eventually you'll want to spend the night at the Inn. At this evening meal everyone says goodbye to Elena. Then some priest shows up and tells that Zera is waiting for Elena right now. Elena thanks everyone for their help and leaves. Action shifts to the Cathedral where Zera tells Elena that in order to dispel the Darkness and prevent the resurrection of Valmar, she has to find the legendary sword the Granasaber. Should she fail the world will be doomed. Back at the Inn Ryudo, Mareg and Roan are talking about religion. Then a priest arrives and tells that Zera has a special request for Ryudo. Leave the village and head for the Cathedral. The party likes the building even Ryudo. Enter the Cathedral and talk to the man that is standing in front of the door. The man tells you that only Ryudo can go inside. Roan wants to wait somewhere interesting, priest tells him that their library is most fascinating. Roan then tells Ryudo that he shall check the library for info. Roan and Mareg leave. Head through the door. In the main hall Zera is talking to the priests. They are concerned about the rumored revival of Valmar. Zera tells them that they should be strong. They start to panic. Zera calms them down. He then talks to Selene about her brutal methods. All the priests leave. Zera then invites you to the next room. Go to the next room. In the next room Zera explains that he wants Ryudo to find the holy sword Granasaber. Ryudo still not sure if he should take the job but the Pope tells that in return Ryudo may ask for anything he desires. Ryudo likes the idea, but he has to take Elena with him. Ryudo asks where this sword might be but Zera says all they know is that it 'rests with the Legion of Darkness'. Zera says that he has prepared a room for Ryudo and that he should rest. Leave the next room. In the main hall you meet Cardinal Oro. He asks Ryudo what did he hear from Zera. Ryudo tells him about the sword. Oro thinks that Ryudo isn't cut for the job. Ryudo starts mocking the Cardinal. Oro gets angry and leaves. You should do the same. Go to the library and meet Roan and Mareg. Ryudo shortly explains them what's happened. Roan suggests Ryudo read some of the books here, but Mareg has a better idea - eat. So leave the library and go to your room. Oro is in his room mumbling about the day of Darkness and that Zera has absolutely zero tolerance towards matters of this weight. He must consult his auguries. Then Valmar's moon starts to shine through the window. He looks through the window and discovers Millenia outside. Then Millenia breaks through the window without a warning. Oro is totally afraid. Back in the room. The party eats peacefully. Ryudo then tells that he shall look for that damned sword. Roan and Mareg will help him. Then a priest comes and tells that Valmar has taken a human form and entered the Cathedral. Ryudo realizes that it must be Millenia. Leave the room and go to the balcony. Ryudo says that Millenia is Stupid because she's practically standing on the dinner plate of Granas. Millenia says that she doesn't care as long as she can follow Ryudo around (what a nice person!). She also tells that time is in short supply. You're back at your room. Leave the room and head to the main hall. Zera and Elena are already there. Ryudo tells Zera that he'll do the job. Zera then wishes them luck and gives the Book of Priests. Leave the Cathedral. Outside the party decides to find clues in the Cyrum Kingdom.

It's huge! The party admires the city view. Roan tells that this lovely scenery is fake and that true face of this is bound to appear. He then explains that they the people of Cyrum are all descendents of people of Darkness. Ryudo asks is Granasaber in this place but Roan apparently doesn't know. Then he says that they should go and find a room. Of course you should visit the shop first. Then I suggest you explore this big city, talk to the people here. And when you're done go to the Inn. At the Inn the innkeeper tells you that a festival will soon take place. And King himself will make a speech. Roan is somewhat troubled by the news and runs home to check things out. Ryudo and the rest will have to spend the night at the Inn. At the dinner party decides to explore a town and ask people about the sword. The innkeeper suggests you visit the bazaar and find a man named Hemble. But Hemble is a strange one so Ryudo and Elena will have to pretend that they are a happy couple. Elena gets angry at this turn of events and retires to her room. In her room, she's sitting and thinking. She feels uneasy and angry with only God knows who. She then realizes that this is pointless and goes to sleep. Elena got overexcited and lost control so Millenia appeared. Millenia knows that something is going on so she writes something on the mirror. You now see King of Cyrum in his castle. He says that he no longer can hide something from the people. He then notices a strange figure. The figure asks King what is the matter. King thanks the figure for what he has done to his people. The figure says that all fears of the people of Darkness have disappeared. It's morning. Elena is still sleeping, Ryudo tries to wake her up (damn, why are they sleeping with their clothes on?). She wakes up and looks at the mirror. There are some words written on the mirror, they say 'Elena, I know you like Ryudo! Let him know it!'. Downstairs Mareg makes a fantastic conclusion that more than 2 a couple does not make. So he decides to check the harbor. Elena is afraid to be alone with Ryudo (is he a maniac or something?). Anyway, leave the Inn and hit the bazaar. Play the goldfish game to get a Poff Nut. When you're done with the bazaar visit Hemble. He tells you that he won't talk without a proper introduction. So Elena and Ryudo decide to play a couple. Hemble then invites them into the tent. Inside Hemble starts mocking Ryudo and hitting on Elena. He then tells that they should play a game of hand wresting to see who's better. ==<Quick Tutorial>------------------------------------------------------------- ==<Arm Wrestling Mini Game - The R Trigger (your assigned button) adds power to your arm. Pulling the R Trigger hard makes your 'POWER' greater than Hemble's, but saps your 'ENDURANCE'. If your ENDURANCE drops to 0 you can't push against Hemble's arm. Keep pushing the A Button (your assigned button) to restore your ENDURANCE. You can't use the A Button and the R Trigger (your assigned buttons) at the same time. When 'GO' appears, the game begins. Well if it were a normal story-mini-game then you'd be on your way after defeating Hemble, however don't forget that this is an RPG after all. Hemble has some items up his sleeve and in order to get them you'll have to defeat him in his mini game again, again and again. Again, it would be nothing if the prize items would be all normal, but of all 5 items 3 you already have (or will have) and you don't have Glass Slippers and Silver Freeze. Now that's the items you should play for, because you won't get them anywhere else. So, after the fifth defeat, Hemble will refuse to wrestle with you. Here are the items: 1 time - Revival Gem 2 times - Hero's Elixir 3 times - Silver Freeze 4 times - Gold Feather 5 times - Glass Slippers 6-oo times - Unavailable (Hey, give the poor guy a brake! OK?!) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You will get help from Elena on this one. She'll tell Hemble that his nose hair are sticking out. He can't believe it and he'll want his mirror. That should help you beat him. After the 'battle' Hemble is devastated and very unhappy. He wanted to teach Skye how to tell that he is magnificent and wonderful. Ryudo asks him about the Granasaber, but he doesn't know (jerk!) so it was just a waste of time. Ryudo and Elena leave the tent. Elena got overexcited (as always) and is feeling quite tired. She decides to sit for a while. Ryudo tells her that he will buy her a drink. Near Hemble's tent there is a drink tent go there and buy a drink. You'll have a choice of four different drinks, Love potion, Power-up, Flower water and hidden. Ryudo will only buy hidden so choose the fourth option. All of a sudden Millenia pops up. Ryudo is not very pleased. Millenia says that she can't stand being left out and gets all over poor Ryudo. He tells her to stop (stupid!). Millenia then makes some seductive moves and Ryudo surrenders. Millenia joins the party. Go and listen how Mau sings Millenia will like it very much, then Roan and Mareg will come. Roan says that there are some problems in the castle so they must hurry. Also he tells that they should take the waterway around and get into the castle from the rear gate. When you gain control cross the bridge. When you do Roan will point to the boat, board the boat. Your party is in the back of the castle. You meet up with Paulk. He will tell Prince (?) Roan to be careful and that Menory is waiting. Roan tells him that he has his friends with him.

Go back and take the right path to use the switch near the broken ladders. This switch opened those closed doors, so go back and use the doors. Keep going until you reach a dead end.

CYRUM CASTLE ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Items: None Enemies: None Shops: None You can explore the castle but you won't find anything useful so I suggest you head to the room of Demon-Sealing. In that room you'll meet Menory a Gate Guardian. Roan asks him is everything OK, Menory tells that the Gate is safe but he feels a strange power behind it. Roan then introduces Menory to the party. Ryudo asks what is this gate for. Roan explains that this is the Gates of Darkness and it is said that it'll open when the people of Darkness will regain their pride. He also tells that a great power lies beyond those Gates. Menory then tells that King said that soon there will be no need for the Guardian of the Gate. Roan tells that his father won't be able to open the Gate without the key. And the key is his medal. Millenia suggests they go and ask the King. Menory tells you that he must be in his office on the top floor. Leave the room and go up the stairs. Continue to Audience Chamber and take the stairs up to King's office. In the office you meet the king. Roan asks him about the Gate. King tells Roan that their people are near to regaining their lost pride and the Gate shall be opened. Roan gets angry and says that it'll bring the Day of Darkness and that they don't have to be bound by history nor be the people of Darkness. His father says that the hope for their people is beyond that Gate. Roan tells that will never hand over the medal to open it. But the King says that his medal is no longer required and leaves the room. Ryudo asks about the people of Darkness. Roan then shows that the true symbol of their country is Valmar's Crest. He tells that his people fought alongside Valmar long ago, but now no one worships him anymore. The ground shakes, Roan tells that this must have been the gates. When you regain control run back to the Demon-Sealing room. You find Menory dead and the Gate opened.

Return to the SAVE POINT and hit the door to get yourself to UNDERGROUND PLANT, CONTROL ROOM and prepare for a Boss. UNDERGROUND PLANT, CONTROL ROOM ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Items: None Enemies: Boss Shops: None It is a huge factory. Once you gain control just go up. Roan spots something. It is some kind of security bot. Millenia sys that it's possessed by the Claws of Valmar. The bot then decides that you are no more than an intruder and must be eliminated and completely exterminated. BOSS BATTLE ~~~~~~~~~~~ Boss: Valmar's Claw Left Arm Right Arm HP - 14000 HP - 8000 HP - 8000 SC - 2400 MC - 1200 EXP 1000 Drop items - Mana Insignia, Book of Gales and 2100G Special Attacks - Gravity (draws party close to one point, all) Thunder Bullet (cancel effect, some) Ice Bullet (cancel effect, some) Healer (healing, one) Tail Piercer (cancel effect, one) Avenging Claw (powerful attack, one) Infernal Sigh (fire damage, some) Fiora (magic symbol blocks enemy moves) This one is more annoying than anything else. You see, he can heal himself, but he only can do this if he has his arms, and you know what that means? Right! Hit his arms quick and hard, all the usual - Flying Tenseiken, Dragon Raise, Beast-King Smash and Fallen Wings (maxed out preferably). To quickly deal with each hand use only the moves that effect one enemy. Kill one arm, then another. And without his arms his pathetic. He won't be able to heal, he'll use his Piercing tale and cast the Avenging Claw, now that's what you should watch out for. His Claw can do a whooping 800HP damage, so if he damaged some one your character or characters then heal with Alhealer. When there's only his body left, you'll probably be out of SP, however your MP should fine. So to finish his body use your most destructive magic and if someone doesn't have powerful magic you can even use simple Combos. After the battle Millenia devours Vslmar's Claw. The bot is lying on the ground. Roan says that this bot is actually an Automata a fighting machine created to fight in a war between Good and Evil. Roan is angry with this factory and with his life. Therefore he goes crazy with his knife and starts cutting around with it (damn, that's what you get if you give a cold weapon to children). Thanks to Roan the factory id about to collapse, Ryudo says that they should get the hell out of there. Now one disagrees. Mareg tells that this Automata is a victim of Melfice and brings her along. You're back at the castle. Roan and Ryudo wants to get to the bottom of this. Then Automata gets up and speaks. Roan says that she will do nothing without a proper command. Ryudo tells her that she is free (Invalid Command) but can't compute that. Well they don't care and leave. Use the SAVE POINT and go to the office. No one is in the office, but you hear some voices in the next room. Charge the next room. And guess what! You find Melfice himself in there. Mareg gets all excited as well as Ryudo. Melfice, on the other hand is cool. The party charges. Melfice beats the crap out of you with his Wailing Soul Slash. He starts mocking everybody. Ryudo can't believe his brother. Melfice then hits the king with his blade (cool blade by the way) and the poor King collapses. Melfice then says that dreams and hopes are for losers and tells Ryudo that he can prove it if Ryudo will come to their birth village. Then he escapes through the window. Millenia is disappointed by the fact that she couldn't get the Horn, but at least she got the Claw. Roan talks with his father. The king looks pathetic. Roan decides that this country needs a true leader and wants to stay home. Roan makes an announcement to the people. He says them all the truth behind the Gates of Darkness and the people of Darkness. Then he raises Valmar's crest. Ryudo says that he couldn't do what Roan does. Elena says that they should accept the world as it is. When you gain control leave the castle. When you're about to leave, Roan calls you. He asks Ryudo if he wants to go to the Garlan Island, Ryudo tells he does. Roan then tells that he has prepared a ship for them. Everyone says goodbye to Roan. Leave the castle. You find Automata standing outside. Mareg tells her again that she is free. She doesn't get it. Ryudo explains - zero effect. Mareg then suggests they take her along. Everyone agrees. And so welcome Tio the automaton to your party. - Tio - Tio is an Automaton built in the Cyrum Kingdom Factory in the ancient days to fight in the battle of Good and Evil. Not a mindless machine nor an AI, a robot apparently with a soul, nothing more is known about Tio. Possessed by the Claws of Valmar, her soul was torn apart and now she can't do anything without a master. Rescued by Ryudo and party she finds her only friends in them and Mareg as her master. But she soon will have to learn how to trust her own judgment... - Special Moves - _______________________ __________ _______ ____________________________________ MOVE SP RANGE DESCRIPTION _______________________ __________ _______ ____________________________________ Lotus Flower 28 Line A splendid attack Cancel effect Fast Dance-Whirl 38 One A legendary attack dance Tornado 48 All A dance move that stops wind currents Whisper to Stars* 36 All Power of stars raise all variable status * You'll get this skill after Mareg leaves your party for good. _______________________ __________ _______ ____________________________________ Hit the port and find a ship. The ships captain Bakala tells you that when you're ready he'll take you to the Garlan Island. ==<Quick Tutorial>------------------------------------------------------------- ==<Attention! After you board the 50/50, you won't be able to come back, so you'll be making a big step further into the game. I strongly recommend you go and level up. Choose whatever place you think is best for that. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You're in the boat. Elena is talking to Ryudo. She asks him about the Garlan Island. He tells her that it's north of Camille Sea across the Granacliffs. Elena than asks about the Granacliffs, Ryudo explains. Bakala showa up and tells that his boat is good. Mareg starts complaining about some strange mechanism. It appears to be some kind of pumping device, Bakala says that it'll help then cross the Granacliffs and that they should keep pumping it for five days. When you gain control go and talk to Tio. Ryudo asks her about the Claws and Melfice but she can't remember anything. Elena is in her bed and can't sleep. Ryudo shows up and tries to comfort her. Elena starts complaining about the ship. Ryudo tells that he'll go and speak with the captain to stop the ship somewhere. Leave the room and go to the deck to speak with Bakala. Ryudo tells him that Elena can't take much more of this and that he should stop. Bakala says that there is no choice and that they can stop at Ceceile Reef. When party leaves the ship Ryudo tells that they should spend the night here. Bakala says that it's OK but if the wind picks up than they should return. When you gain control just keep going, no forks and no enemies here, only one path. Ryudo spots some strangely polished stones, Mareg says that he can't smell the sea in them. Elena tells that she's tired and that thy should get a move on. They camp here. At the evening meal conversation, party discuses Ryudo's family. His parents died long ago, he and his brother Melfice were raised by the village chef. Then they go to sleep. In the middle of the night Ryudo wakes up. He's worried about Elena, Skye tells him that she's back there. When you gain control go back there. Ryudo finds Elena sitting and watching the sea. She says that Valmar's moon is haunting her. Elena tells him that she's not so naive anymore and Ryudo will praise her for that. Elena loves the world and the people that live in it. Ryudo proclaims that they will cross the Granacliffs tomorrow. They talk a little bit more and then go to sleep. In the morning something is wrong. It's the monsters. Thy hatched from those 'polished stones' that actually were eggs. The party can't escape because the tide came so you'll have to fight. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CECEILE REEF ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CECEILE REEF 1 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Items: 1 Dragonfly Slayer 1 Gale Stone 1000G 1 Scroll of Alheal 1 Flame Shoes 1 Flame Bandana 1 Flame Armor 1000G 1 Healing Fruit Enemies: Crimson Claw HP - 1230 SC - 41 MC - 28 EXP - 31 Drop items - Patience Nut or Blessing Scroll or 65G Special attacks - Attack (a multi hit attack, one) Move block step (move block effect, one) Flame Toad HP - 940 SC - 20 MC - 32 EXP - 26 Drop items - Dynamite or Pretty Bracelet or 18G Special attacks - None Shops: None Start walking alongside those lovely flowers.

Use whatever destructive one-enemy moves you've got, to kill one. And then just finish the other. The only thing that you should watch out is Scissors Storm, but it hits only one character so heal if necessary. After the fight make your way back to the ship. Board it. You approach the Granacliffs. Bakala explains that in order to cross those cliffs they'll have to glide. The pump that Mareg was pumping was for that purpose. You'll se an CG movie where 50/50 transforms into gliding 50/50 and glides through the Granacliffs. So finally you've reached the Garlan Island. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- GARLAN VILLAGE ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Items: 1 Friends Necklace Enemies: Everyone (but you can't fight them :P) Shops: GARLAN GENERAL STORE Weapons: Fine Broadsword - 4500G Sword of Mikage - 6900G Silver Flail - 6800G Dread Bow - 7400G Armor: Mithril Dress - 8000G Warrior Mail - 8500G Mercury Bandana - 3200G Battle Helm - 3400G Warrior Leggings - 1400G Accessory: Talisman - 1500G Crescent Jade - 1500G Items: Holy Wound Salve - 60G Healing Fruit - 100G Scroll of Alheal - 120G Healing Incense - 400G Poison Antidote - 14G Paralysis Salve - 14G Purifying Herb - 40G Torte's Reedpipe - 30G Smelling Salts - 20G Move Blessing - 50G Magic Blessing - 50G Yomi's Elixir - 500G Regional: Grail Fruit - 120G Makibishi - 150G Dynamite - 240G Silence Lute - 250G When you enter the village Ryudo tells that nothing have changed. Elena thinks that this is a quiet village. Some boy shows up and starts talking crap about Ryudo (No! you can't waste him). Go up the stairs and will get a warm welcome from the village chief and Gatta Ryudo's 'best friend'. They tell him to get out. Ryudo says that as soon as he finishes the business he will. They leave. Elena is offended by such poor treatment towards Ryudo. Ryudo doesn't care. Ryudo then suggests they search for Melfice in his old house. Go there, it's the house with the nailed doors (is it plagued or something?). Mareg and Tio leaves for the Inn. Gatta shows up and starts remembering the past. Then he attacks but Ryudo beats him down. Ryudo says that he can't change a thing and leaves. Elena tries to comfort Gatta but he says that she doesn't understand and tells her to beat it. Go to the Inn and choose 'Let us stay just for tonight...'. Mareg and Tio show up and tell that Melfice is in the village. The innkeeper chickens out and blaims Ryudo for bringing Melfice here. Anyway he lets them stay tonight. Elena is in her room. She can't get to sleep and keeps thinking about Ryudo and What has happened with him in the past. Skye appears and flies towards the window. He tells Elena that he'll tell her about Ryudo and his past. Ryudo and Melfice were both born in this village and when their parents died the village chief took them in and trained them to become a swordsmen. Eventually Melfice became the greatest swordsmen in the village. Ryudo had a friend called Gatta, and both Ryudo and Gatta envied Melfice his abilities. Reena (hmm... Reena eh? Yes well (:E) was the chiefs daughter and she was to become Melfice's wife. The future seemed bright for them all until one fatal day. A huge storm began and ground trembled beneath the Temple where Idol was. Reena went there to check things out but never returned. Then the village chief sent Melfice and a few others to look for her. Ryudo also wanted to go but he was not allowed, instead he secretly followed them. When Ryudo got there he became the witness of a terrible tragedy, Melfice, his brother slaughtered everyone including Reena and stole the idol the Justice Sword. Ryudo could not believe it, in a flash of a moment his hopes and dreams were broken and because of his brother he was banished from the village and from lives of the villagers. He then met Skye and became a Geohound, since then he was always afraid to trust anyone or anything (man, that's what I call a hard youth...). The next morning party decides to go to the Grail Mountain to look for Melfice. Leave the Inn and the village.

Use the SAVE POINT and go up round the rock to take 1000G. Go back and round the crack in the ground and all the way through the path, across the stone bridge and take Makibishi.

Party goes down into the sealing room. The seal is broken. Ryudo will tell that Melfice actually wanted the power of Valmar so he killed Reena for that. Leave the shrine. You meet Melfice outside, he talks for a bit and then runs away. Follow him into the GRAIL MOUNTAIN ROAD 3.

Head to GRAIL MOUNTAIN PLATEAU OF MEMORIES. GRAIL MOUNTAIN PLATEAU OF MEMORIES ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Items: None Enemies: None Shops: None BOSS BATTLE ~~~~~~~~~~~ Boss: Melfice Regenerator Sword HP - 19000 HP - 13000 HP - 11000 SC - 3600 MC - 1800 EXP - 1500 Drop items - Maken Valborg, Book of Swords and Soul of Asura Special attacks - Demon Horde Slash (massive damage, some) Wailing Soul Slash (major damage, one) Evil Horn Attack (big damage, all) Quake (serious earth damage, all) Tremor (earth damage, some) Gravity (gathers enemies) Poizn (poison effect, some) Shhh (blocks magic, one) Wow! (atk +1, one) Diggin'(def +1, all) Runner (mov +1, all) Speedy (act +1, one) Melfice, a respectable enemy. Here's what you got to do. There are three targets here, Melfice, Sword and the Regenerator. Forget the sword and the Regenerator, don't waste your SP and MP on them, instead concentrate on Melfice. Use Flying Tenseiken, Beast-King Smash and Fast Dance-Whirl, while Elena should use nothing but healing and recovery magic, like Alheal, Cure and Droplets of life, because Melfice is very unpredictable, he can blast you with his Wailing Soul Slash and Demon Horde Slash or he can just hit you with his normal attack. Try to reach stability in this battle, keep using those moves on Melfice and watch very closely your HP, if it gets less then 1000 heal immediately. His Wailing Soul Slash is the most dangerous move, it can do a major 1000HP damage, also his Demon Horde Slash can do about 700~800HP damage to a number of characters. His magic spells are crappy and useless, they only give you time to prepare your attacks. With a little luck I'm sure you'll do it. After the battle (No! Millenia didn't devour the Horns of Valmar) Melfice realizes his mistake and apologizes to Ryudo for everything and tells him that the Granasaber lies to the east from here. Ryudo can see that Melfice is back to normal and doesn't want him to die. But still, Melfice dies. Then something strange happens to Ryudo. He grabs his arm and some weird purple magic surrounds him, Ryudo can't control himself and points his blade on Elena. He's about to slice her up but stops and drops unconscious. Back at the village. Melfice has been buried. The village chief says that it is improper to be glad of someone's death, even Melfice's. Gatta then starts lecturing them. Back at the Inn Tio says that Ryudo has been infected with Valmar's Horns. Tio wants just to exterminate Ryudo. Mareg on the other hand doesn't. In the room you can see that Ryudo is completely possessed y the Horn. Elena is worried about him and calls Millenia for help. Millenia says that she doesn't care for Ryudo and wants only to devour the Horn. Millenia appears and she is dead serious about doing it. She spreads her wings, prepares the magic and... she can't do it. She decides to help Ryudo after all. Millenia summons Elena and tells her that they have to help Ryudo both. You see a vision from Ryudo's past. He and Gatta are practicing. Melfice is also there. Then Gatta and Melfice disappear. Then it's the scene where Ryudo discovers how Melfice kills everyone. However, Melfice tells him that Reena was possessed be the Horn and thus had to be killed. Then Millenia appears and says that Melfice is the one who wanted the power of the Horn. Millenia then tells Ryudo to fight Melfice because he's in control of the Horns. Now it's the scene where Reena lies on the ground pierced by the sword of Melfice. She starts to speak with Ryudo. Then Elena joins the conversation. Now Ryudo fights Melfice. He's dead serious on defeating Valmar. Elena and Millenia appear. Ryudo then cuts through Melfice and thus relieves him of his suffering. Melfice is back to normal and thanks Ryudo for saving him. He tells that he wanted power to destroy Valmar so badly, that he gave into it and it devoured his soul. The dream ends and Elena is praying to Lord Granas to save Ryudo. Then he wakes up and tells that he is fine. Mareg and Tio show up. Tio says that they are like family now, therefore she stayed. Everyone's back at the grave of Melfice. Then everyone makes a dramatic speech and Gatta gives Ryudo a Friends Necklace. The party then decides to go find the Divine Sword. Go back to the port and speak with Bakala. Ryudo says that they once again need his ship. Bakala says he's ready. Ryudo tells him that they need to go east alongside the Granacliffs. Bakala then tells them that they'll be heading then to the Great Cleft Island of Arachna. Elena is on the deck of 50/50 in the middle of the night. She feels uneasy for accepting help from Millenia the Wings of Valmar. Ryudo shows up and ask her what is the matter. She says that it's OK. Elena then asks Ryudo why Millenia saved him, but he doesn't know. Ryudo tells her that Millenia will show up tonight anyway, so he'll thank her then. Elena goes wild when she hears that (is she jealous or something?). But she realizes that she's a bit out of line here and runs away. Ryudo doesn't know what to think. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- GHOSS FOREST ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- GHOSS FOREST WEST 1 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Items: 3000G 1 Aromatic Root 1 Healing Incense 1 Sylph's Robe Enemies: Flame Toad HP - 940 SC - 20 MC - 32 EXP - 26 Drop items - Dynamite or Pretty Bracelet or 18G Special attacks - None Scaly Warrior HP - 1160 SC - 51 MC - 23 EXP - 54 Drop items - Holy Wound Salve or Seed of Moves or 93G Special attacks - Lunacy Egg (confusion effect, one) Shops: None Party reaches shores of the Arachna (now this shore reminds me Grandia I). Ryudo thanks the captain for everything he has done to help them. Mareg says that he knows these places so there is nothing to be worried about. Before you leave, Bakala gives Ryudo advice. Walk along the shore and save at the SAVE POINT. Mareg says that he's from around here and that he wants to visit his home village. Ryudo says that they'll come along and asks him what will he do after that. Mareg doesn't know until he speaks with the chief. Continue the path and you'll see a huge plant biting the other side of the river. Go across using this plant and head up. Open the tree gate and take 3000G. Keep going until you see another huge plant, cross to the other side. Dead end to the left so go right (and don't mind those weird plants, their just stupid). Avoid the steaming tree (it'll poison you) and near the big rock open the tree gate to take the Aromatic Root. Continue the path until you reach another huge hungry plant, using the plant get yourself across. Now it's time for an upward mobility. Get the Healing Incense and go by that huge root, don't mind those minor branches they're useless. Climb down and near the huge rock open the tree gate to bit the crap out of some Scaly Warriors (for SC, MC, EXP and fun). Take the other root. When you reach a root-fork, take the down path to get Sylph's Robe. Go back, take the other path and go down. Take the left path through the poisonous plant and go to GHOSST FOREST WEST 2.

Climb the root and cross that flower bridge to get 1000G. Don't go up, it's a dead end, instead go down. Activate the lower bridge, take Divine Talisman and climb the root to use the bridge you've activated. Go down the root and activate the green plant to make another bridge, go through that bridge. Open the tree gate and take the Quake Stone, then take the thinner root, because the other one is a dead end. Activate the flower bridge and take the Baobab Fruit hidden within. Go back and keep walking until you reach another green plant, activate it to make a bridge and go down. You reach a place destroyed by the Claws. Mareg tells that it's the job of Melfice. Mareg doesn't understand how can darkness bring misfortune and destruction. Elena, OF COURSE, protest with all her little might. She says that Darkness is naturally the source of all evil. Mareg then smacks down all that she believes by saying that Light and Darkness are no different than Wind and Fire both bring happiness and suffering. But Mareg wants to puzzle them no further until they reach the village. When you regain control climb the root. When you reach the root-fork, take the left path to get the Super Mogay Bomb.

Mareg tells that Ryudo and the others are his friends. Villager says that if it is so then they are friends of the village. Mareg tells that they should make haste to the village Elder. When you gain control explore the village and visit the shop. Then go meet the village Elder. He's glad that Mareg has returned and invites you to come inside. The village Elder asks Ryudo why does he search for the blade, Ryudo says that it's because he doesn't know anything, he wants to start feeling things. The Elder says that it's the same with his people, they think that life must be felt and that not all Light is good and not all Darkness is evil. Elena stars getting out of hand, Ryudo calms her down. Mareg tells that things are getting restless these days and that they should investigate it. Village Elder agrees. He asks Ryudo and the party stay here tonight. Ryudo agrees. The village Elder sends Mareg and Tio to the square and asks Ryudo and Elena for a favor. They accept. You're at the Forbidden Hut. The village Elder says that in order to enter one must be strong both of mind and of body. Therefore, he asks you to do this honor. Ryudo and Elena enter the Forbidden room. ==<Quick Tutorial>------------------------------------------------------------- ==<Walnut Gathering Mini Game - Now this Mini Game is easy, it's just for fun. But get this. Each time you pass the 'trial' you'll get different items, but you have to be successful.

He tells Ryudo that they should participate in the feast as well. Ryudo says that he has got no talents, however Elena can sing. Elena starts her song and everybody is impressed. Skye starts pestering Ryudo about women. In the meantime, Mareg teaches Tio how to be her own master. Mareg tells her to call him Mareg from this point on. She tries to do it and she's successful. Mareg then suggests they get a drink. Elena finished her song. Everyone thanks her and they feel like they need to sing also. So the villagers start their song. Then Elena invites Ryudo to visit the spring. When you gain control head to the Nanan Spring. At the spring Elena tells that she liked singing to the villagers. In addition she feels very exciting about it (she's getting excited!). Ryudo then thanks for helping him with the Horns and says that he felt her in his heart. She's very special to him. Elena is startled and says that she's thirsty. She runs to the springs to get some water. Ryudo feels confused. At the spring, Elena feels that she can't respond to Ryudo. Millenia appears and starts mocking Elena. She says that Elena could not love anyone else but Lord Granas. Millenia says that she loves Ryudo and gives him her life and body. Ten Millenia takes over Elena's body. Ryudo is tired of waiting. He decides to check things out. Go check it out but you won't find anything. When Ryudo returns Millenia appears. She says that she's been dying to see Ryudo. Ryudo says that Millenia is here one second and gone the other, so there is not enough time. Millenia says that she's here now and that Ryudo should speak. Then she grabs his arm and just, you know, wants to do it or something (damn, I'm not good at this). She keeps telling him how in love she is. Then Ryudo finally cracks and says that he actually does love Millenia, but he feels the same way about Elena. (man, it's like 2 in 1 for him). Ryudo says that he can't choose (Oi! poor him). Then Millenia does a smart move. She kisses Ryudo and quickly shifts back into Elena, so that Elena could see what happened. Elena thinks that Ryudo chose Millenia and runs away. In the morning, party leaves the village. The village Elder thanks then and says that they can return here whenever they wish. The party sets out for the Great Rift. Leave the village and select GHOSS FORST EAST. ==<Quick Tutorial>------------------------------------------------------------- Now that you have the Miracle Scales all the monster stats will contain doubled G.

Tio takes a head of one of her sisters and copies the data. Tio says that her sisters charged this wall of wind just like Ryudo did, and they were all wiped put. Then Tio suggests to head for the Demon's Law and there she will be able to turn off this wall of wind. To do so just head alongside the wind wall ant then turn left and make your way to the end and take the Energy Ring and 1200G.

BOSS BATTLE ~~~~~~~~~~~ Boss: Leck Guardian HP - 15000 SC - 1600 MC - 320 EXP - 700 Drop items - Inferno Battleax and 300G Special attacks - Buster Horn (move block effect, one) 2 Snow Leopard HP - 4600 Special attacks - Crackle (ice damage, one) Cold (act -2, one) This 'Leck Guardian' is actually some kind of Minotaur zombie. And those cats must be Troglodytes in disguise. Anyway they are easy. First, make sure that Ryudo's max SP are at least 198 so you could do 2 Sky Dragon Slashes in a row. After those the cats should be wasted leaving the Guardian all alone. When that happens brutally attack him with all your might! He's done. After the fight use the SAVE POINT and then go up. Activate the red pillar in the middle. Go all the way left, take 1200G and go up to activate another red pillar. Return to the main room and go right from there. Go up into the room, take the Exorcism Bow and activate third and the last of the red pillars. The door in the main room has opened, go through it and prepare for yet another Boss Battle. BOSS BATTLE ~~~~~~~~~~~ Boss: 2 Naga Queen HP - 12500 SC - 0 MC - 1280 EXP - 750 Drop items - Star Egg and 1600G Special attacks - Freezing Eye (Mov -2, line) Fiora (move block effect, one) Blizzard Edge (low damage, some) Is this a joke Boss Battle or something? They are nothing! Just pump em up with the following moves exactly 2 of each and they won't be able to do anything at all (well that's what happened with me anyway): Sky Dragon Slash, Tornado, White Apocalypse and Beast-King Blast. That should do to waste them. After the battle go up the stairs. Then head left (watch the lasers) and into the room to take the Halo Armor. Then go to the right room and take the Mystic Potion. Then go back and go into the DEMON'S LAW CONTROL ROOM. DEMON LAW, CONTROL ROOM ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Items: None Enemies: Boss Shops: None You find yourself in the control room. Another automaton is there and she tells that Tio should waste the party and resurrect Valmar. Tio won't. Then automaton tells that Tio needs repairs and repairs Tio with new orders to eliminate the threat. Tio is ready to do it but behold Mareg's magical voice! Apparently with mechanical properties his words simply un-repair Tio right back into her senses! Magic non other! Anyway the automata decides that Tio is defective and that it's time for DECOMISSIONING! BOSS BATTLE ~~~~~~~~~~~ Boss: Tio Clone HP - 32500 SC - 4000 MC - 4000 EXP - 900 Drop items - Balor Special attacks - Lotus Flower (cancel effect, line) Tornado (high damage, all) Shhh! (magic block effect, all) Howl (some) Now this battle can be long and tiresome but it can be short and easy. You see, attacking her physically is a brainless act, because whenever you attack her with combo she'll usually evade->shift->counter. Plus she has a high evade, MOV and speed. Here's what you've got to do: Use Flying Tenseiken, Beast-King Smash, Fast Dance-Whirl and Impact Bomb (yes! Impact Bomb because you'll need the SP for Droplets of Life) she can't dodge those. Don't try to dispel her Shhh! She will do it again and again, just leave it be, you'll manage without magic. Tornado is the move that you should watch out for, it can hit you with about 800~1000HP damage, so heal with Droplets of Life if needed. Keep using those moves, your SP should be enough, but if it runs out you could actually use simple combos but only with the whole party, remember that! After the fight Tio Clone is wasted. Tio says that in order to turn off the barrier you'll have to smash the control panel. Go up and do it. Tio says that barrier should be down now. Leave the Demon's Law. Outside the party finds that the wind barrier is gone. And the almighty Granasaber is in all it's beauty. Everyone is amazed. When you gain control proceed to THE GREAT RIFT 4. There party can get a better view of the saber. And then Selene appears! She goes talking her crazy-fanatic stuff, but now not about Granas but about revival of Valmar. I just knew it, she's crazy! Then she cuts her hand and you'll see an CG movie where the Body of Valmar is revived through the blood of Selene. Then she sacrifices her Holy Knight and goes away. Well now she's done it! The body is revived and the party is left to deal with it. Elena then calls for Millenia's help. Millenia appears and says that she is going to take on that huge behemoth, and that she needs your help. So without any further delay Millenia just grabs the rest of the party and flies into the VALMAR'S BODY. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- VALMAR'S BODY ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- VALMAR'S BODY, POINT OF ENTRY ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Items: None Enemies: None Shops: None You're inside the body. Millenia tells you that in order to defeat it you'll have to destroy it'd core. Ryudo says that it's time for some serious damage, and that's exactly why you're here!

The Core awaits. VALNR'S BODY, CORE ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Items: None Enemies: Boss Shops: None Millenia says that huge and ugly thing is the Core and that you should waste it to kill the Body. BOSS BATTLE ~~~~~~~~~~~ Boss: Valmar's Core Left Tentacle Right Tentacle HP - 24000 HP - 14000 HP - 14000 SC - 6000 MC - 6000 EXP - 1600 Drop items - Angel Circle and Relief Tag Special attacks - Zap (lightening damage, some) Zap All (lightning damage, all) **** in (draws enemies, all) Strangulation (ATK -1, DEF -1, ACT -1, MOV -1, one) The almighty Valmar Core is an easy foe. Start using your most deadly All moves and soon his tentacles will be history. And when that happens concentrate on the Core with you most powerful One moves only. Spells like Zap, Zap All and **** In totally ****. However he has a very good and powerful One move, it's the Strangulation, it does a major damage plus it decreases all your stats by 1. But it won't help him because it is a One skill and he doesn't use it so often. He he... '**** in' sounds kind of perverted, no? *ahem*... well...forget it! After the battle Valmar's Body is about to fall apart. Outside, Millenia devours the Body and shifts back into Elena. The party is overjoyed that they finally found the Granasaber, but they don't know how to carry it. Then Tio tells that she can operate the Granasaber (Saber my ass! This thing is an outer space starship and none other). The party shifts into the Granasaber. Inside, Tio operates it and you'll see a very cool CG movie how the Granasaber blitz away into horizon. The party is in the Granasaber; everyone is amazed by the flight. Tio tells Ryudo that she has set an auto-landing on St. Heim Papal State. Ryudo says that's OK. Ryudo is still thinking about what Selene said and about Zera, but Elena doesn't know about either of them. She feels tired and wants to rest somewhere. Tio takes her to a room. Elena is in her room, she's worried about Ryudo. She fears what Zera might do to Ryudo should he present himself with the Horns of Valmar. Then Millenia appears and tells Elena that Zera is actually a bad person and that she should not listen to him. Elena thinks that Millenia lies (damn, is she naive or what?). Millenia tells her that she should think about Ryudo and that she can't be happy and safe at the same time. Elena of course disagrees. Then Elena starts screaming around that Millenia is Wings of Valmar and that she hates her, then she tries really, really hard and Millenia disappears. Elena is convinced that they shall not meet again. Ryudo is worried about Elena. He thinks that she should be a little happier. Mareg tells him to cool down. Tio serves the tea. AND THEN SUDDENLY! The Day of Darkness! It is here. Everyone, especially Elena, freaks out. Ryudo doesn't even understand what-a-hell is happening here. Anyway the party lands in St. Heim Papal State to check things out. ST.

It's time for some Knight-ass kicking time. When you gain control, leave the pastures and make your way into the town. Hey, check out the local shop it's got some new goods. He he, I guess no Day of Darkness will stop the business! You'll see a scene where the Knights are having fun with the townsfolk. Ryudo understands that something is wrong here and decides to interfere. After the fight (which probably ended after one Sky Dragon Slash) the party discovers that those Knights are not human. Elena tells that they should hurry to the Cathedral to meet Zera. She speaks truly. At the Cathedral you are warm welcomed by a bunch of Knights, but they are called off by Selene. Ryudo asks if Selene ordered the murder, she says that it wasn't her, unfortunately? Sigh, she's totally lost it, then she starts her Selene-style-fanatical-crap I won't be writing it because I don't understand what's she talking about. Anyway, after her 'speech' she drops herself right onto the swords of her minions. All that's left is a Dark Valmar's Heart with an evil desire to kill!

You could eliminate his eyes first, but you could also leave them be. You see, later when his HP will be low his eyes will start healing him, and that's annoying. So by destroying his eyes you would be doing yourself a favor. Well either way, concentrate Sky Dragon Slash, Fast-Dance Whirl and Beast-King Smash on the Heart. And leave Elena for healing and status dispelling only. He doesn't have a big-damage spells, but he's full of status disorder spells, so one character assigned for healing-dispelling-strengthening is good idea. That should do the trick. After the fight Elena absorbs the Heart of Valmar. Ryudo is amazed, how could she do that? Elena then explains that Zera sent her on a mission to collect all the pieces of Valmar and then he would use the Granasaber to destroy Elena and Valmar within her. Ryudo thinks this plan ****. Elena says that she doesn't want his heart to be destroyed so he shouldn't come and rescue her. But Ryudo is Ryudo, when you gain control hit the Cathedral. In the main hall you meet Oro, he starts talking about Zera and some Holy Door. Anyway, he's dead meat and you should proceed into the door behind the altar to use the lift to go up inside Zera's secret room. Elena and Zera are already there. Elena asks Zera about the Heat of Valmar inside Selene and he says that he knew. Then Ryudo and others show up. Elena tells Zera to get it over with, but has something to show to Ryudo. He invites you to the Forbidden Room. Follow him. In the room, Zera explains the 'truth' behind Granas, Valmar and the Battle of Good and Evil. Well can't say much about it. You'll get an excellent CG movie about it, explaining 'everything'. So that's the deal, Granas was defeated in that distant Battle and now Valmar is about to be reborn. Mareg is angry that they searched for Granasaber for nothing. Zera tells him that you can never defeat a God with a saber of a dead God. Thus, the resurrection of Valmar is inevitable. Elena is devastated, all her hopes are lost and she is convinced that this is not the Pope Zera she knew. Zera then gets wild and tells that his ultimate goal from the very start was the ***_THE REVIVAL OF VALMAR!!!_***. And he's going to use Elena for that (fat jerk!). He grabs her and they teleport to the Moon. Ryudo is furious; Zera has kidnapped Elena. Tio tells that they could use the Granasaber to get to the Moon, but there is not enough energy and Ryudo's Horns might awaken. Nevertheless, Ryudo is determined on saving Elena. Leave the cursed and useless Cathedral and board the Granasaber. You'll see a CG movie how the party flies to the Valmar's Moon. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- VALMAR'S MOON ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- VALMAR'S MOON, SURFACE (first visit) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Items: None Enemies: None Shops: None You're at the Moon. Mareg starts complaining about the SMELL. Tio says that the Valmar hasn't been revived yet, but Ryudo doesn't care! He wants to save Elena. Keep going down the only path that is available to you. You will encounter no monsters and you won't find any items, so just jump down to VALMAR'S MOON 1. VALMAR'S MOON 1 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Items: 1 Lion Harp 1 Lion Boots 1 Leo Rex Battleax 2000G 1 Potion of Azure 6000G 1 Thor Stone 1 Silver Feather Enemies: Nyarmot HP - 1670 SC - 67 MC - 39 EXP - 81 Drop items - Panacea or Tight Dress or 194G Special attacks - Burning Sun (cancel effect, one) Salamadile HP - 1500 SC - 30 MC - 84 EXP - 70 Drop items - Red Bird Stone or Salamander Tail or 136G Special attacks - Attack (plague effect, one) Evil Maneuver HP - 1950 SC - 114 MC - 59 EXP - 105 Drop items - Thor Stone or Seed of Psyche or 64G Special attacks - Zap! (some) Block Needle (cancel effect, one) Shops: None Make use of the SAVE POINT. When you reach the first turn take it, and cut through the thing that blocks your way. When you reach a fork go right and take The BIG TREASURE CHEST with Lion Harp, Lion Boots and Leo Rex Battleax in it. Return to the fork and take the other path. When you reach a fork go left and grab 2000G. GO back and head up and then left to reach another fork. Go left and take the Potion of Azure, return and head right. Eventually you'll reach a fork, go left to take 6000G then continue down the path. Cut through the thing and reach yet another fork, ignore it and continue to another fork, go right to take the Thor Stone. Go back and head left. Now you'll have to do some trick here in order to proceed. When you reach a fork head down the right tunnel and activate the blue-brain-thing. That thing made one portion of the bridge for you. Go back and through the left tunnel to do the same with another part of the blue-brain-thing. After the bridge has been completed, cross it. Take the Silver Feather and continue up to Valmar's Moon 2. VALMAR'S MOON 2 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Items: 2000G 1 Demon Ash 1 Silver Feather 1 Miracle Elixir 1 Mystic Veil 1 Indigo Potion 1 Panacea Enemies: Nyarmot HP - 1670 SC - 67 MC - 39 EXP - 81 Drop items - Panacea or Tight Dress or 194G Special attacks - Burning Sun (cancel effect, one) Salamadile HP - 1500 SC - 30 MC - 84 EXP - 70 Drop items - Red Bird Stone or Salamander Tail or 136G Special attacks - Attack (plague effect, one) Evil Maneuver HP - 1950 SC - 114 MC - 59 EXP - 105 Drop items - Thor Stone or Seed of Psyche or 64G Special attacks - Zap! (some) Block Needle (cancel effect, one) Shops: None Some bizarre thing blocks your way. You know what to do, cut it! Go up. If you cut that thing to your right and go through the tunnel... there will be nothing, so don't do it. Instead, go left, cut through the thing and take 2000G then head all the way down and take the Demon Ash. Return and head up through the tunnel. When toy reach a fork go right to take the BIG TREASURE CHEST containing Silver Feather, Miracle Elixir and Mystic Veil. Go back and take the other way. When you reach a fork go left in order to get the Indigo Potion. Then go all the way right. Cutting through the right thing near the wall is pointless so don't do it. However you'll need to cut through the middle thing to continue, but it's blocked by a wall. So go down and through the left tunnel. You'll reach the other side of the wall, grab Panacea and cut the thing. Return, use the SAVE POINT and make your way into the Valmar's Moon 3. VALMAR'S MOON 3 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Items: 1 Moonstone Armor 1 Reflect Helm 1 Golden Potion 2 Scarlet Potion 2000G 6000G 2000G 1 Scattering Stone 1 Meteor Scroll 1 Moonlight Tiara Enemies: Nyarmot HP - 1670 SC - 67 MC - 39 EXP - 81 Drop items - Panacea or Tight Dress or 194G Special attacks - Burning Sun (cancel effect, one) Salamadile HP - 1500 SC - 30 MC - 84 EXP - 70 Drop items - Red Bird Stone or Salamander Tail or 136G Special attacks - Attack (plague effect, one) Evil Maneuver HP - 1950 SC - 114 MC - 59 EXP - 105 Drop items - Thor Stone or Seed of Psyche or 64G Special attacks - Zap!

By stepping on them you activate various mechanisms, but some maybe hollow. Anyway to be sure step on each you come across. Go all the way right and step on the purple thing to lower the pillar and take the Moonstone Armor. Then go straight up and step on another purple thing to construct a bridge, cross it. Go right and activate the purple thing to take the Reflect Helm. Go up and activate another purple thing to lower the pillar and take the Golden Potion. Then head left and take the Scarlet Potion along the way. Go through the ark and up the path. Take 2000G and activate the purple switch that will create a bridge, cross it. Go down the path, see the Evil Maneuver standing on the pillar like he owns the place? Activate the purple thing near him and he'll encounter you. So instead take 6000G and proceed. Keep walking until you reach a Scarlet Potion. Take it and activate the purple switch, Huge rock will create a bridge. Cross to the other side. Take 2000G and proceed the path. Take the BIG TREASURE CHEST that has Scattering Stone, Meteor Scroll and Moonlight Tiara in. Jump across the ark and go use the SAVE POINT. Then jump down to Valmar's Womb. VALMAR'S WOMB ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Items: 1 Elena Enemies: Boss Shops: None The party is in a weird room. Mareg spots Elena and Zera below. Zera is explaining Elena that the world is doomed because there is no Light and in order to save the world Valmar has to be revived. Elena sees no point in living any further, Zera tells her that he'll relief her of her pain by removing the Wings of Valmar within her. Ryudo gets really angry (wow!) but can't do anything about it. Then some bizarre thing comes from below and attacks the party. Prepare for a Boss fight! BOSS BATTLE ~~~~~~~~~~~ Boss: Egg Guardian HP - 28000 SC - 10000 MC - 10000 EXP - 2000 Drop items - Angel's Robe and 3600G Special attacks - Runner (ACT +1, one) Speedy (ACT +2, one) Diggin'(DEF +1, all) Howlnado (wind damage and confusion effect, all) Wailing Sickle (damage, all) Demon Summoning (revives all Bits) 4-oo Bit HP - 4800 Drop items - 900G Special attacks - Desperate Blow (damage, one) This 'Egg Guardian' gives me the creeps! Ignore the Bits! You might want to waste them after they hit you with their Desperate Blow, but it's useless, he'll use the Demon Summoning and revive them again. His magic like Runner, Speedy and Diggin' are useless, plus he's slow you should have plenty time for Flying Tenseiken, Fast Dance-Whirl and Beast-King Smash. Wailing Sickle is the only attack you should watch out for, because it does a fair damage to all your characters. Of course, you could substitute Flying Tenseiken with Sky Dragon Slash, but it will eventually kill all the Bits, and after he revives them you'll have to deal with them again. So the choice is up to you, but always watch you HP. After the fight Ryudo calls Elena but she doesn't ant him to be here, she just wants to die. Zera says that all the preparations for the revival are complete. Then he 'summons' Millenia into the green sphere. Zera proclaims that the time has come, but apparently Millenia has second thoughts. She starts lecturing Elena about this and that (watch the event dammit!). Well anyway Millenia doesn't want to become a Valmar anymore, instead she just wants to be with Ryudo (unlike some songstress that I know!). Zera, of course, is confused. He believes that her wrong decision is because of the feeble souls that she has devoured. Anyway, Zera doesn't seem to care, he says that all will be as planned. You'll se a CG movie how the Moon starts spitting fire and monsters are coming from the craters. Zera wants to become the WILL of Valmar and create the perfect world. Millenia can't do anything because she's paralyzed and is being devoured. Ryudo keeps screaming pointlessly. Millenia then casts her final magic to save Elena from Valmar. She tells that she loves Ryudo and that they should live, then she sends them all away from here. VALMAR'S MOON, SURFACE (second visit) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Items: None Enemies: Valmar Fly HP - 3600 SC - 375 MC - 0 EXP - 75 Drop items - Scarlet Potion or Blueberry or 250G Special attacks - None Valmar Young HP - 7200 SC - 750 MC - 0 EXP - 300 Drop items - Yomi's Elixir or Soul of Asura or 600G Special attacks - Berserk Launch (plague effect, one) Leg Drill (cancel effect, one) Tremor (earth damage, some) Shops: None The party is outside. Ryudo is devastated by the loss of Millenia. Mareg brings him to his senses and they all decide to go back to the Granasaber. When you gain control follow the only fork-free path towards the Granasaber. Along the way you'll encounter various Valmar monsters. Eventually the enemies will get really pesky and Mareg stays behind to hold them while the rest of the party tries to board the Granasaber. You'll see a CG movie. Well Mareg is dead, but the power of his will gave the rest of the party a chance to live. He was indeed a brave warrior. The rest of the party escapes home. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CYRUM KINGDOM, SOUTH (first visit) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Items: 1 Missanga Enemies: None Shops: None The Granasaber crashes-in near the Cyrum Kingdom. The ship is wasted however nobody's hurt, but everyone is down because Mareg and Millenia are both dead. Ryudo understands that still have to do something. When you gain control take Missanga and leave this place. But when you'll want to leave you'll see a CG movie about the town being attacked by Valmar's monsters! Ryudo is determined on stopping all this madness. When you regain control leave this place and choose Cyrum Kingdom. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CYRUM KINGDOM (second visit) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Items: 1 Roan Enemies: Valmar Young HP - 7200 SC - 750 MC - 0 EXP - 300 Drop items - Yomi's Elixir or Soul of Asura or 600G Special attacks - Berserk Launch (plague effect, one) Leg Drill (cancel effect, one) Tremor (earth damage, some) Shops: CYRUM GENERAL STORE Weapons: Blazing Sword - 17000G Icefang Sword - 18000G Thor Sword - 19000G Decalogue Staff - 11800G Guardian Staff - 15500G Huge Flail - 17000G Sword Breaker - 14500G Wind Cutter - 18000G Demon Shuriken - 19800G Armor: Aura Armor - 19800G Charisma Helm - 8000G Magic Hi-Heels - 1100G Battle Boots - 1800G Accessory: Heracle's Belt - 6200G Shogun's Brace - 5000G Godspeed Ring - 2500G Anklet - 1000G Fire Charm - 400G Wind Charm - 400G Earth Charm - 400G Lightning Charm - 400G Blizzard Charm - 400G Items: Holy Wound Salve - 60G Healing Fruit - 100G Scarlet Potion - 250G Healing Incense - 400G Potion of Azure - 750G Purifying Herb - 40G Torte's Reedpipe - 30G Smelling Salts - 20G Blessing Scroll - 150G Vaccine - 100G Panacea - 500G Yomi's Elixir - 500G Regional: Baobab Fruit - 360G Magical Medicine - 360G Super Mogay Bomb - 1000G Flame Stone - 200G Gale Stone - 200G Quake Stone - 200G Electrum Stone - 250G Icefang Stone - 150G Thor Stone - 750G Red Bird Stone - 250G Serpentine - 500G When you enter the city it's totally wasted. Almost everyone is dead. Visit the shop for some new goods. Then proceed towards the castle, there you'll meet Roan and his guards being attacked by a Valmar Young x2. After a short greeting battle starts. Waste em quick. After the fight Roan wants some answers. Ryudo can't tell anything. Roan understands that the situation is not very bright, so he invites everyone to the castle to talk. You're in the castle. Ryudo and Elena are in the room. Elena starts fer talk about the poor Granas. She can't get over his death and Zera's betrayal. Well, she needs a reality check and Ryudo tries to comfort her. Anyway, a soldier comes and tells you that Roan is waiting in his office. When you gain control hit the office. In the office Roan and his consul are talking about something. Then the consul leaves the room and Roan starts chatting with Tio about her heart and about love? When Ryudo and Elena arrive Roan decides to decide their next move. Roan believes that Valmar is still incomplete; therefore he suggests they...... ... run away!!! Ryudo obviously disagrees (me to!). Roan tells that the Horns inside Ryudo might awaken and then all is lost. But Ryudo is still stubborn, he wants to avenge the deaths of Millenia and Mareg. Elena cheers everyone up by saying that the Day of Darkness has passed, Valmar is revived and the Granasaber is lost (gee, thanks sister!). Ryudo believes that the Horns that are inside him is the only thing that can do battle with Valmar and that Millenia and Mareg gave their lives to protect that weapon. However everyone's afraid that Ryudo will end up like Melfice. Also they don't know how to activate the Horns. The party decides to leave this place. Please do so. On your way out you'll encounter various peasants asking for help, ignore them. However, when you'll reach the bridge Valmar will SPOT you (wow! now that's an EYE!).Valmar Young x2 will appear out of nowhere, kill them. Leave the city and choose Raul Hills. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- RAUL HILLS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- __________________________** Special Stage **_____________________________ | | | This field area is a place where you can enjoy combat without regard to | | the progress of the story. And some good and useless items, I might add! | |__________________________________________________________________________| Items: 1 Useless Staff 1 Zero Broadsword 1 Rusty Hoop 1 Dull Knife 1 Lore of Magic 1 Platinum Feather 1 Energy Charm 1 Sonic Belt 1 Demon Necklace 1 Astral Miracle 1 Soul of a Hero 1 Fairy Egg Enemies: Chameleon HP - 780 SC - 27 MC - 13 EXP - 14 Drop items - Purifying Herb or Mirage Earring or 25G Special attacks - None Nyarmot HP - 1670 SC - 67 MC - 39 EXP - 81 Drop items - Panacea or Tight Dress or 194G Special attacks - Burning Sun (cancel effect, one) Dragon Knight HP - 2130 SC - 98 MC - 73 EXP - 92 Drop items - Scarlet Potion or Dragon Wand or 342G Special attacks - Stram (ACT -2, one) Lightning Ball (cancel effect, one) DragonZap (cancel effect, line) Snow Leopard HP - 4600 SC - 175 MC - 160 EXP - 150 Drop items - Icefang Stone or Pretty Necklace or 300G Special attacks - Crackle (ice damage, one) Cold (ACT -2, one) Freeze! (MOV -1, some) Devil HP - 5800 SC - 270 MC - 320 EXP - 20 Drop items - Demon Ash or Jet-Black Cape or 480G Special attacks - Attack (cancel effect) BOOM! (high damage, some) BA-BOOM! (unbelievable damage, all) Burnstrike (fire damage, one) Burnflame (fire damage, some) Shops: None As it was in GRANDIA I, there is a special stage here also; the Raul Hills. OK, here you'll have 2 objectives and 2 places to go. The first objective is to practice. This place is actually a great place for practice, the Devils are great for SC, MC and G and Snow Leopards are excellent for EXP. Try reaching level 55. The second objective is to collect all the items and 1 Mana Egg. And the 2 places are Raul Hills 1, where you find the first 4 (useless) items and the maze area, also in Raul Hills 1 where you'll find the rest of the items and the Fairy Egg. Use the boat ant then head left to Raul Hills 1. Take the 'Ultimate' set of 'Ultimate' weapons (man, those must have been left behind by 'Ultimate' warriors when they fled the enemies). Useless Staff, Zero Broadsword, Rusty Hoop and Dull Knife .I mean, what's up with those weapons? They are only good for your item collection. Anyway you're done here, leave and make your way to the maze. In the maze area you'll find the rest of items (it's a good thing they're not junk, but on the contrary their most useful). Keep exploring the maze and collecting one item at a time: Lore of Magic, Platinum Feather, Energy Charm, Sonic Belt, Demon Necklace, Astral Miracle and Soul of a Hero. In the end climb on the tower and grab the Fairy Egg. In this area you'll encounter the Devil creatures. Umm... what's the deal? I keep reading the other FAQ's that these monsters are EXTRA difficult, but I really don't think so. They have 2 very dangerous spells, BOOM! And BA-BOOM!. While you'll probably get over BOOM! The BA-BOOM! Spell will most definitely kill your party or at least they'll be half-dead. So how do I avoid it? You ask? Easy it's the Tight Dress. Yes! The Tight Dress. Remember this peace of equipment that you could get by defeating Nyarmot? Well, it can neutralize any spell directed towards the wearer, which means that any BOOM! or BA-BOOM! spell that might be cast on the wearer will be nullified. Useful, eh? This item has only 2 minor disadvantages. First, it can only be equipped by the females (Elena and Tio) and second, it also disables the spells of the wearer. But you can still use the moves. So anyway, even if the guys will drop dead the chicks will be fighting! Plus, if that happens you'll be able to use Droplets of Life to restore and revive all. And for the majority of you, who don't have any Tight Dresses: GO GET SOME! Nyarmots can be encountered right here in Raul Hills! After all the items have been collected, you're done! Leave this place and choose Cyrum Kingdom, South (unless you want to practice some more). ==<Quick Tutorial-------------------------------------------------------------- Now that you have the Astral Miracle all the monster stats will contain doubled SC. If you want to know the actual SC earned you'll have to divide it by 2. Now that you have Soul of a Hero all the monster stats will contain doubled EXP. If you want to know the actual EXP earned you'll have to divide it by 2. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CYRUM KINGDOM SOUTH (second visit) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Items: None Enemies: None Shops: None Elena is down; Ryudo says that he'll kill everyone for violating the dead. Tio says that Ryudo should calm down or the Horns within him will be activated. Then you'll se a CG movie how Valmar is swallowing up the Cathedral and some nasty looking creature is being born. Ryudo tells that running away is pointless, everyone agrees. Then Roan comes up with an idea, he says that Cyrum royals have a mausoleum and that they could find something useful about the people of Darkness and Valmar from there. When you regain control hit the Mausoleum. At the mausoleum Roan starts snooping around, but nothing happens. Then Tio walks up the stairs and tells that this is the door but in order to open it a medal is required. Apparently Roan's Medal is the key, Tio takes it and opens the door. Leave the mausoleum and enter BIRTHPLACE OF THE GODS. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BIRTHPLACE OF THE GODS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Items: 2500G 7500G 1 Hero's Cuirass 1 Flame Stone 1 Quake Stone 1 Scarlet Potion 1 Panacea 1 Gale Stone 1 Valkyrie Dress 1 Angel's Ring 1 Indigo Potion 2500G 1 Hero's Elixir 2 Super Mogay Bomb 1 Mystic Potion 1 Sun Robe 1 Holy Crown 1 Gold Feather 1 Hyper Mogay Bomb 1 Kojin Charm 1 Illusion Bandana 1 Ethereal Miracle 1 Dragon Egg 1 Book of Sages Enemies: 2 Mini Boss Death Doberman HP - 1790 SC - 26 MC - 115 EXP - 166 Drop items - Yomi's Elixir or Red Hair Ribbon or 212G Special attacks - Howlslash (some) Howlnado (confusion effect, all) Shhh!

Go up and read the statue. It says: He who worships Light shall gather around the wonder of the Blue Earth, the Red Sun, and the Yellow Moon, then scatter. However, O he who falsely worships Light and is discontent in its power, he shall know only permanent midnight. Go right and collect 2500G, return and head left through the tunnel. Keep going the only path you've got until you reach a fork. Take the right path and grab 7500G. Return and head the other way. Follow the path and then go down the stairs. There will be entrance to the Birthplace of the Gods 2 but you cannot enter yet. Instead go right and use the blue ball, it will open and close some doors. Ignore stairs up, instead go left and activate the device near the pillar with armor. The device will shoot something and eventually the pillar will lower and you'll be able to take Hero's Cuirass. Go all the way back to the SAVE POINT and trough the path with 2500G. When you reach the bridge take the right path and in it's end take the Flame Stone. Return and cross the bridge. Follow all the way through the only path you have until you reach the room with the entrance to the Birthplace of the Gods 2. Enter it. Go straight up but don't use the stairs, instead go right in the room with 4 big pillars take the Quake Stone. Return and go up the stairs and through the yellow door then go through the blue door and take the Scarlet Potion. Return and take the other path. Past the yellow doors will be stairs, go down abuse the SAVE POINT and continue to the Birthplace of the Gods 3. Take the stairs up and then go left. In the next room you will encounter Mini Boss x2. MINI BOSS BATTLE ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Boss: 2 Dual Fist HP - 19000 SC - 6400 MC - 0 EXP - 1800 Drop items - Elf King Boots and 2400G Special attacks - Blizzard Rise (ACT -1, some) Freeze Down (sleep effect, one) Umm... they ****. Use all the destructive moves like Sky Dragon Slash, Tornado, White Apocalypse and whatever magic with Roan. They shouldn't be any problem. After the 'hard' battle proceed through the blue door and across the bridge. Activate the Yellow Ball. Return to the blue door and enter the yellow door next to it. In the end of the path take the Panacea and return to the Yellow Ball. Cross the bridge and take the yellow door. Ignore the path to the right it's totally useless. Move the block and activate the shooting device to open the hidden door. (Gee... that's a 'difficult' puzzle isn't it? My head still hurts after those brain-damaging Wild Arms puzzles, I tell ya) And in the hidden door there are even 4 TREASURE CHESTS! Loot them all! They include the following: Gale Stone, Valkyrie Dress, Angel's Ring and Indigo Potion. Go back all the way and through the blue door, take 2500G and go aaal the way back to the Birthplace of the Gods 2. Go through the yellow door and this time YOU! will be encountered by a Mini Boss x2. Oh, the irony! MINI BOSS BATTLE ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Boss: 2 Guardian HP - 17000 SC - 0 MC - 4000 EXP - 2000 Drop items - Phoenix Ring, Omnipotent Seed or 3200G Special attacks - Freezing Eye (all stats -1, line) Gravity (all) Snooze (sleep effect, all) Blizzard Edge (special) Well, this Boss battle is pretty much the same as the last. But nevertheless it is a bit more challenging. Use the best moves and everything should be fine. However, watch out for their status-lowering attacks because they use them a lot. As always heal if necessary. After the battle go through the yellow door and into the room with the Red Ball. Activate it. It'll open 2 doors. Go through the left one. GO left through the arc and in the end of the path take the Hero's Elixir. Return and go alongside the edge till you come across Super Mogay Bomb, take it and return to activate the device. This device will shoot out a small light and eventually red door will open, go through it. It's another treasure room, and the items are: Mystic Potion, Sun Robe, Holy Crown and Gold Feather. After that return aaal the way back to the Birthplace of the Gods 3. The red door to the right, which was closed, is now opened, enter it and take the BIG TREASURE CHEST containing Super Mogay Bomb, Hyper Mogay Bomb and Kojin Charm. Go to the Birthplace of the Gods 2, from there use the elevator to go back to the Birthplace of the Gods 1. Go straight up and then use the stairs up into the room. Go through the red doors and down the stairs. Through the big blue doors and into the room with the Blue Ball, deactivate it. The door leading to the elevator is useless so don't go there, instead go through the other door and into the room with the reflecting blocks. Now push the middle block ones in the middle and push the block near the wall ones, after that go and activate the device. It'll shoot out a beam and the BIG TREASURE CHEST will lower so you could take it. And inside the Dragon Egg, Book if Sages and the Ethereal Miracle are waiting for you! Go back to the room with the Blue Ball and activate it again. Now you'll have to deactivate the Yellow Ball and return to where you received Hero's Elixir and enter the yellow door, then you can take the Illusion Bandana. After that go back to the Birthplace of the Gods 2 and use the elevator to go down to the Birthplace of the Gods 3. Go up and use the SAVE POINT. When you'll want to enter the control room Elena will spot something. It's the power cells from an ancient civilization. Inside those cells there are mummified people of the ancient civilization. Anyway, Tio doesn't know anything about it so just proceed to the control room. Inside the room, party notices a strange crest, it appears to be a combination of symbols of Granas and Valmar. Tio gets some kind of message and tells everyone that Elmo wishes to speak with them. Elmo is caretaker of the Birthplace of the Gods. Go and speak with him (or is it her...?). Roan asks Elmo if it knows something and Elmo says it does, because Granas and Valmar ones used this place for their experiments. Ryudo asks Elmo how could they destroy Valmar or trap it in the seals. Elmo doesn't know what seals Ryudo is talking about. Elena explains that he is talking about the 'Seals of Granas' which trap Valmar. Elmo says that those 'seals' are actually a system that collects individual of Valmar to prepare a human body for Valmar's possession. Those 'seals' were never meant to trap anyone let alone Valmar; they were meant to activate it. (ironic isn't it?) Anyway, the party doesn't have a clue about Valmar, Granas and everything else what's going on here, so Elmo shoes them an ancient record that explains everything. Here's what's really happened: (as I see it anyway, I could be wrong and if I am then do please correct me) In the ancient days when the world was still young Granas came. (came?...whatever) He brought light and happiness into the world, the people were given the power of creation and everyone worshiped Granas. However, soon humanity lost their ambitions, they stopped dreaming. (boil in their own juice, you know?) A core of people who grew tired of Granas and saw no point in worshiping him any further found the power they needed in a being called Valmar. Valmar is a true potential it occupies humans body and gives a power he needs, power of humanity. Valmar gave people the power to change the world. Soon a great battle waged across the world and in the end Granas died and Valmar's body was lost. With each passing century the darkness and hatred within the human hearts grew stronger and now the New Valmar is about to consume the entire World. After that Ryudo realizes that the only way to fight Zera-Valmar is to activate the Horns within him. When you gain control go into the center of the system. As you start going up, Elena approaches Ryudo and she wants him to share his strength with her (what? must be Ryudo's new move). And then they kiss (Elena! Granas will never forgive that!!!(:E) Anyway she sticks around a bit and then jumps down without a second thought about the height! (Must be magic, no other) Ryudo is in the system; he's falling. After a little chat with himself Skye shows up. Ryudo is angry but can't do anything about it. Ryudo is falling. You end up in some cave. Ryudo will be tested here. Gee, you don't need guidance through this 'test'. No matter which choice you will make Ryudo will still loose and will be sleeping with the fishes. I mean, there isn't even a choice here; you'll always have to choose the 'correct' answer, the first option. If you choose the second nothing will happen. Back outside. Valmar is attacking and you'll get a CG movie for proof of that. Everyone is terrified. Roan, Tio and Elena try to help the people but things don't look very bright. And then Elena decides to............SING! Jesus Christ and it actually worked! It's a miracle! Back in the abyss? Ryudo has regained consciousness and is able to move. The voice says that he has been reborn. Light goes on and a...a...a I tell you Ryudo has changed somewhat must be the hair. He says that he doesn't want to look like this. He says that he'll protect everyone. And then with the POWER OF HIS WILL and of course the miraculous song he turned himself into Ryudo again and flew off to save the world. Back outside. Elena is still singing. Everyone gathered to hear her singing. Then Ryudo appears. The party is together again and Ryudo has a Granasaber. You'll get a CG movie how Ryudo swings the sword and night becomes day. He mocks Zera-Valmar a bit and then you regain control. The people outside are useless except one guy who sells some good staff. He has some good regional goods. ==<Quick Tutorial-------------------------------------------------------------- Now that you have the Ethereal Miracle all the monster stats will contain doubled MC.

MINI BOSS BATTLE ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Boss: 2 Valmar Magna HP - 20000 SC - 100 MC - 600 EXP - 1400 Drop items - Mystic Potion or Brave Dirk or 3000G Special attacks - Magna Boring (Move Block, Magic Block effects, one) BOOM! (some) Magna Ripper (cancel effect, one) 2 Valmar Magna's? Have BOOM! spell? Whatever! They still ****. Pump em up with your best moves and they're toast. After the battle the 'door' to the Core will open. Enter it. NEW VALMAR CORE ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In the Core room you meet Valmar and have a little chat. Valmar tries to desperately seduce all the characters. They refuse and are dead serious to kill Valmar. Valmar also eager to show them his power so the battle begins! BOSS BATTLE ~~~~~~~~~~~ Boss: Valmar's Core Left Head Middle Head Right Head HP - ~49000 HP - ~35000 HP - ~32000 HP - ~28000 SC - 0 MC - 0 EXP - 0 Drop items - NOTHING Special attacks - Hammer Claw (special) Dead Claw (move block effect, one) Spellbinding Eye (magic and move block effects, one) Avenging Claw (one) Destruction Light* (line) Day of Judgment (Valmar Special, -1 ATK, all) Howl (some) Howlslash (line) Burn Flame (some) Burnstrike (one) Alhealer (all) Crackle (one) Zap all (all) Tremor (some) Quake (all) Snooze (sleep effect, all) Yeah baby, finally some kind of a challenge! Just look at this thing! It's huge and ugly. As you can see it's a multipart Boss, but you can divide them all into 2 main parts: His Core and his Heads. Of course you can go for his heads but that's a long and painful path. By destroying his heads you will disable his recovery magic as well as his simple magic such as Howl, Crackle, Tremor. But all the destructive moves are done by his Core, so things like Hammer Claw, Spellbinding Eye, Avenging Claw and the supa-dupa Day of Judgment still be coming at you. In any case, it's as usual, hit him with all the best like Sky Dragon Slash, Fast Dance Whirl, True Dragon Rise and White Apocalypse. He will heal occasionally but it's ~1200 HP of healing compared to your 4000-5000 HP of damage per character. Keep hitting his Core and watch for his heads as they can get annoying sometimes, heal with magic like Alheal and use Droplets of Life if the situation is critical. *Here's a notice from Pano about the Destruction Light: Destruction Light comes from the three heads. If one of them casts it while the three heads are alive you'll see that it hits only those which are directly in front of of one of the heads. Like this: If Tio, Roan and Elena for example are directly in front of one of them (For exp.: Tio is in front of the left head, Roan in front of the right head nd Elena in front of the central head) while Ryudo is behind the three heads, it will only hit Tio, Roan and Elena while Ryudo will remain unharmed. That's why it not quite a complete waste of time, killing the heads, and for some reason he casts Day of Judgement rarer. Oh yeah, by the way. Fight this battle with the regard of the next one. Because no one will let you heal, save or recover, whatsoever. After the battle. Valmar cannot believe the power of humanity and sends out a false Millenium to take care of the party. This Millenia is an imposter so kick her ass! BOSS BATTLE ~~~~~~~~~~~ Boss: Millenia HP - 23000 SC - 6000 MC - 0 EXP - 0 Drop items - Black Angel Bow Special attacks - Fallen Wings (Valmar attack, all) Dragon Zap (Bolt attack, line) Keep your HP high that's the most important thing in this battle. Millenia suppose to use her Valmar attacks, but she only uses the Fallen Wings. Anyway, you may do as I did: Just brutally attack her with only combos; it's 4 to 1 after all. And watch your HP. After the battle Elena says that she understands everything. She tells Millenia to appear. And Millenia............appears! Just like that! Of course everyone is happy to see her. Zera-Valmar cannot believe this kind of turn of events. He stars screaming some crazy things and sends a flash. Tio and Roan end up on the other side of the crack with 2 Valmar Moths for a company. While Ryudo, Elena and Millenia have to finish Zera-Valmar. When you gain control reequip Millenia and head for the mark on the ground. You will be teleported to some bizarre room. NEW VALMAR, ROOM OF CHAOS ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Teleport save at the SAVE POINT and encounter the Tongue of Valmar again. This guy is back! And he is hungry! Well I guess he needs to be taught a lesson once again! BOSS BATTLE ~~~~~~~~~~~ Boss: Valmar's Tongue Left Hand Right Hand Head HP - 27000 HP - 18000 HP - 18000 HP - 9000 SC - 8000 MC - 2000 EXP - 6000 Drop items - Golden Potion, Potion of Azure, Indigo Potion and Starlight Tiara Special attacks - Eat em' alive (confusion effect, one) Gluttony (special) Huge leap (cancel effect, all) Burn (Fire damage, one) Spew Venom (Poison damage, special) Hellburner (Fire damage, all) Flamethrower (Fire damage, special) Although he's back with upgraded, updated and graduated stats and moves he's still kind of lame. Your tactics are quite obvious, Sky Dragon Slash, Fallen Wings and White Apocalypse. His had has only 9000 HP so it's going down the first. Just keep using those moves until he's over. But do watch for his Eat em' alive, Gluttony and Huge Leap. Heal if necessary. After the battle go back and save. Then proceed to encounter the second Boss the Eye of Valmar. She's also back and she's staring at you! BOSS BATTLE ~~~~~~~~~~~ Boss: Valmar's Eye Left Tendril Right Tendril HP - 20000 HP - 20000 HP - 20000 SC - 8000 MC - 2000 EXP - 6000 Drop items - Queen Heels, Mystic Potion and Indigo Potion Special attacks - Seed of Sleep (sleep effect, special) Seed of Poison (poison effect, special) Runner (MOV +1, all) 4 Eyeball Bat HP - 20000 Drop items - Potion of Azure Special attacks - Delta Burst (one) This is easy! Forget about the Eyeball Bats. Use Sky Dragon Slash, Fallen Wings and White Apocalypse once and they are all half-dead. Then just finish them with whatever move. After the battle save once again and continue. Now it's time for the heart. BOSS BATTLE ~~~~~~~~~~~ Boss: Valmar's Heart Left Eye Right Eye HP - 25000 HP - 16000 HP - 16000 SC - 8000 MC - 2000 EXP - 6000 Drop items - Tenma's Dress, Mystic Potion, Potion of Azure Special attacks - Speedy (Act +1, one) Def-Loss (DEF -1, All) Freeze! (MOV -1, all) Quake (all) She's a joke! Use the same strategy as before and she will be a dead meat even faster! After the battle save and then continue to meet Zera-Valmar. He's nuts! The party tells him that he's no God, but no, he doesn't listen. Zera says that he'll show them his true divine power. Prepare for the final battle of the game. FINAL BOSS BATTLE ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Boss: Zera Valmar HP - 36000 SC - NA MC - NA EXP - NA Drop items - NA Special attacks - Ba-Boom! (all) GadZap (paralyze effect, one) Crackle (one) Poizn (poison effect, all) What a hell is this lovely flower!? I mean c'mon go easy on poor Zera, he's old! Mua ha ha ha ha ha ha!!! Cracle, Poizn nad everything else ****, he's BA-BOOM! is no where near the BA-BOOM! of the Devils. And this is the final battle? Final battle my ass! Anyway, brutally slaughter this plant. Well, this is it, but check out the cool epilogue. I think that it's important for RPG's to have an epilogue. I don't like when some games just end suddenly with raw credits... I know I will shut up now and let you enjoy the ending. You don't need a strategy guide for the ending it's up to you from here.

FAQ ============================================================================ This section will answer some questions that may pop up during your play time. These questions are not necessarily frequently asked but they may help you clear out some things. Q: What are the minimum System Requirements for Grandia II on the PC? A: These are the official requirements from the 'Readme' file and the Ubisoft web site. As always--for better results you should try using a bit better hardware than listed below. - Supported OS: Windows 95/98/ME - Processor: Pentium II 300 MHz (Pentium III or AMD Athlon recommended) - RAM: 64 MB of system RAM (128 MB or higher recommended) - Video Card: DirectX 8-compatible video card with 16 MB video RAM with at least 8 MB texture memory (32 MB video RAM with at least 16 MB of texture memory recommended) - Sound Card: DirectX 8-compatible sound card - DirectX Version: DirectX 8 (included on CD) - CD-ROM: 8X CD-ROM drive (16X or higher recommended) - Hard Drive Space: 850 MB uncompressed hard drive space - Peripherals Supported: Mouse and keyboard (DirectX 8-supported game pad recommended) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Q: What are the differences between DC, PS2 and PC versions? A: Although I own PS2 and have Grandia II I only played PC version so the credits for this answer goes to various FAQ writers on Gamefaqs: - PC version has a small Gmconfig application that lets you configure Grandia II settings. - In the PC version, only CD 2 is the game play disc, CD 1 is only an installer. - The Millenia Zap! bug is not in the DC version. She is able to knockout Ryudo out with Stram. - Melfice's Regenerator is _not_ invincible in the DC version as I originally thought. It has about 15000 HP. - Items you get from mushrooms are random in the DC version. - Certain things aren't as smooth on the PS2 version as they are on the DC version. Slowdowns during certain parts of the game and transparency problems during certain spells and on certain screens. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Q: What is 'Millenia Zap!' bug anyway? A: Apparently this bug happens at the beginning of the game. When you first encounter Millenia in Carbo village you have to fight her and in order to progress through the game she has to cast Zap! on Ryudo. But sometimes it never happens. Millenia simply beats the crap out of Ryudo with normal attacks or moves and the game ends. There are different ways to fix this error like reloading your save or actually defeating Millenia. Also try to open/close the cover of your console if your playing the DC or the PS2 version. If you still have this problem then I suggest to start all over again using the New Game, yeah, I know it sucks but it's the beginning just play through it again quickly. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Q: Is it true that if I complete the game the items will be placed in different locations? A: Yes. If you complete Grandia II then save and start a new game all the items will be placed in different locations. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Q: Can this FAQ be used on the DC or PS2 versions of the game? A: Yes. As you can see the differences between PS2, DC and PC versions are quite insignificant so you can use this FAQ for any version. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Q: Where can I get all the Music from this game? A: I knew this trick a long time ago, but Dabestgamer was the first one to bring it up on the Message Boards. So credits go to him and I hope he doesn't mind that I posted his text. Anyway if you want the music you'll need the game CDs. If you don't have them and still want the music then your best bet would be progs like Kazaa. There are two sources from where the game gets its music during the game: from the play disc and the files where you chose to install the installation disc. So you'll have to go to play disc folder 'vms', copy the folder to your hard drive, and in there should be files with a extension of '.adx'. So a file there should look like this: 'Valmar02.vms.adx'. OK, then just delete the vms and adx extensions and change to wav, so the file should look like this 'Valmer02.wav' You can also do the same for the folder where you installed the game (for example: C:\Program Files\Grandia2) and in there should be a folder that reads 'vms' also. Copy the folder to not mess with the game and change the extension on those to wav, too. After that, just burn the desired wav files onto an Audio CD and you can listen to it on a CD Player. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Q: Is Grandia II plot related to other Grandia games? A: No. Grandia II has a completely different world with it's own storyline. Although I _STRONGLY_ recommend playing Grandia I first. Grandia Xtreme is a dungeon-explorer though it has also a good story. Other Grandia titles include Grandia: Parallel Trippers and Grandia: Digital Museum. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Q: What is Grandia: Parallel Trippers? A: It's an RPG for Game Boy Color. The game's story is based on the original Grandia. In Grandia: Parallel Trippers, three school students named Yuuhi, Mizuki and Shirou are somehow carried over to the world of Grandia. In this world, they meet Liete, who tells them that to return to their own world, they will require the help of Justin, Feena and Sue (all from Grandia I), as well as Sweats. However, as the story progresses, they find themselves as the only ones who can save the world. There is a new 'synthesis card battle' system now. It will involve collecting cards and trading them with other players. Grandia: Parallel Trippers was scheduled for a December 22nd in Japan, and was on a 32MB cartridge. The game was 4500 yen (~$40). Is there an English version? You ask? Of course not, my naive friend! The English version of this game simply does not exist. Where do you think you live, in Wonderland or something!? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Q: What is Grandia: Digital Museum? A: It's a ESP/GAME ARTS released game for the fans who brought Grandia... although I think around 40000 copies were sold. It was intended to be released on the Mega CD and took around 5 years untill it was finally released on Saturn. It's basically a CD which shows stuff from the original game, like production art, game info, enemy data, music tracks, character avatars and save files of the important events (for this option you will need the original CD to view). You'll have to explore dungeons which are NOT in the original game, so its really a new game in its own right. But there is lots of menus and stuff in Japanese so it's hard navigating. You start of with Justin, Feena and Sue (who are around lvl 25 and with most of their magics and attacks intact) but these enemies (which are also in the original game) are really HARD! Find stuff to unlock the above mentioned goodies and view them in some theatre (not in the original game btw). ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Q: What is Grandia Xtreme? A: Grandia Xtreme is the next installment in Grandia series. However Grandia Xtreme is not Grandia III, it is a dungeon crawler with entirely independant world and story, although the game system is based on Grandia II it has improved graphics along with gameplay. Rather than concentrating on the story developers decided that it's time for players to feel the taste of battle. And thatýs what this game is mostly all about-fighting countless battles, building up your characters and hunting for items. It was released pretty much at the same time in Japan as Grandia II, January 2002. However the Western players, along with us, Europeans had to wait a bit to play this game. It was scheduled to be released worldwide September 2002. This game is only for the PS2. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Q: Will someone leave my party? A: Yes. At one point in the game Roan will leave your party. However, fret not because he will rejoin your party later in the game. Also at the end of the game Mareg will leave the team for good. Don't worry however, because there will be an item that will let you restore all the SC you used on Maregs moves. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Q: If I missed the Book of War, can I get it later? A: No. Unfortunately if you missed it the first time you won't be bale to take it later. :/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Q: Is there any web sites for Grandia that I could lurk about? A: If you want some really good and in depth info on Grandia series then you should definitely check out this one: http://jump.to/grandia If you want some pics then check this: http://www.magic-guild.net/g-a/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Q: Carro? Why do I need it? A: Granas only knows... Carro is quite useless. The only use from it is that you can light your way through the dungeon. But Grandia II dungeons are not that dark. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Q: Can I defeat Millenia when I encounter her for the first time. A: Yes. Formerly it was considered that she is invincible. However numerous people have emailed me stating otherwise. You see technically she can be beaten but it is almost impossible to do so without a cheating device like PAR (Pro Action Replay) or GS (Game Shark 2) for the PS2. Or a save hacking program for the PC. If you can make yourself invincible or make her helpless using on of the methods above then you can defeat her. But there is no point in doing so. Because either way after you beat her to submission the game continues as if Ryudo had lost! Yeah, there is nothing you can do here; it simply wasn't programmed into the game code. Ryudo must loose even though he can win. 0_o ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Q: Where is the best place to lvl up? A: Well I gave a number of suggestions in my FAQ about the levels and where to lvl up. But I guess if you're near the end of the game you could try to fight the Devils in Raul Hills Special Stage. Creatures like Snow Leopard, Killer Tree and Mind Eater give a good Exp. And you could always buy some seeds from a guy's shop if you have enough cash. It's not like you can run around the world map anytime you want so you'll have to choose carefully where and when and how to lvl up your characters. I think you'll have no problems with levels of your characters should you choose to follow my suggestions. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Q: I get a GameOver when I lose to Melfice first time I encountere him in battle, why? A: You have to combat him for a while without dying. He then hits you with his Wailing Soul Slash and beats you down. After that the story should continue. ____________________________________________________________________________ ============================================================================ VII.
