(complete) Menu info (complete) Ok this isn't a fully completed faq but it has a lot of information on everything youll need to get through the game easily and fast. Note from Mew : forgive dark evil if the guide isn't 100% perfect, it's his first one on gamefaqs. ************************ Walkthrough ************************ Ray's house : Search around the house by walking up to things and pressing the action button. You will find : Antidote- Dresser, Plum-plum- Dresser, 50G -Pot Now talk to Sonya then leave the house. On your way out of this area talk to the farmer and he will give you a Plum Plum. Note from Mew : I think that you can get many of these if you talk to the farmer many times. Make sure to keep at least one for much later in the game. Now walk to the next town which is Likado. Contains: Weapon, Armor and Item shop, Save, Tavern. Weapon Shop - Knife - 30G, Dagger - 80G, Sword -120G Armor Shop - Clothsuit - 80G, Lethsuit- 100G, Hardsuit- 320G (poison), Normal Hat- 40G Item Shop- Bread (recover hps)- 8G , Antidote(recover from poison)- 10G, Rat-tail(escape from cave/maze/town)- 22G Note from Mew : you can use the "Explain" feature to see what does an item or equip do. Later in the game, there is a specialised shop where you can use the explain feature on every items in your inventory. Also, I think that in the game, "normal" is written "nomal" There are some typos like that caused by the lack of space. However, if you ask me about "Rich" or "Zeratin"... Go into the one house which has David who says he is Kustera. In his house you will find : Antistop- dresser Now go to the house most north and east which is the cat house. In this house you will find: 50g- Dresser, Cat boo (boss)- talking to cat, and a bed (walk into it for full hps) Note from Mew : all beds but one heal only your hps. Try to conserve your mps for the most important situations. Fighting Cat Boo : Just attack him and when you are low on hps use a plum plum or bread. You might need to use about 2 or 3 and when he dies he disappears. and you'll have fought your first miniboss and probably level up to level 2. Note from Mew : you might want to go shopping before fighting Cat Boo. Anyway, he isn't a big threath. Hey, is Cat Boo an optionnal boss? Now you can level up abit to make things easier Monsters around this area : Slime, Red Slime, Hedgehog These monsters just attack you and can't do much damage unless you are low on hp or outnumbered. Fight a bunch of them and level up until you can defeat them with one hit. Sometimes the Red Slimes will drop Plum Plums when you kill them. Note from Mew : you can get Knifes from Pigmen too if you're lucky. When you are ready to move on enter the Volcano Cave one. (north most brown mountain) Monsters in this cave : Slime, Red Slime, Hedgehog, Pigman. Wander around in the cave until you reach the Aris Shrine and walk on the * square . This will get you the Star Crest and David from Kustera Now you can go to the swap command and pick him at any time. This is a bonus since if you swap before a boss and save with the Kustera Team, when you swap back you'll be right by the boss. Now you should save the game since you probably don't want to end up dying on something and have to do all this again. Talking to Uncle Save in Likado is a good idea. Get enough gold and buy the Hard Suit, Short Sword, and Normal Hat, and maybe 10 Breads and 2 Antidotes. When you are ready, head to the other mountain which is Jeep Volcano's Cave which is now open (east most brown mountain) Monsters in this cave : Bat, Bad Slime (can poison you), Pigman, Hedgehog, Stun Rat, Bone, Goblin Now these monsters are pretty harmless except the Bad Slime which can poison you. The Bones and Goblins may have a lot of hit points compared to what you've been fighting. If you have a high enough level you should be able to kill any of these monsters with 2-3 hits. Heres something you will run into through this cave : two electric looking fields. One will be yellow and the other will be green. If you are the Ray (Aquatillon group) you are only able to deactivate the yellow fields by pressing the action button. The green fields are for the (David) kustera group which can only be opened by one of them. So to make things simple when you run into a green field, try and get David into the cave or his group and get into the areas locked out to the Aquatillons since if you don't, you will miss many items which can be used later and stored into an bank later on. Yellow path- Rat Tail, Antidote, Antidote, Normal Hat Green path- Plum plum, 50g After running through this cave to the end you will run into a boss known as Dr Gari in a lab and a bed. Enter the bed before fighting dr gari to gain full health (note: There are beds all over in towns and places in this game so you won't need to waste bread and plum plums healing from time to time unless your near death) Note from Mew : You can use the bed to heal and level up before fighting the boss. Just don't use your items or magic. Dr Gari: He has a normal attack and a fire attack which does the most damage. Just like when you fought cat boo hit him enough until you are low on hps then use Bread or Plum Plums. He shouldn't take long to beat. Note from Mew : doesn't he has a "blow gas" attack too? Not that it really matter. Anyway, I suggest you to use your magic first (before items) to heal yourself during the battle. The lab will explode and you will see the volcano blow up. A man known as Bosen will save you and take you to a town called Old Hill. When you are free to move around, go north to a temple. There will be a * square in the middle around these other squares. Walking on this square fills up everyone Hps and Mps just like an inn. So now you have a place to heal and save your gold. Talk to Uncle Save and you won't need to go through all that again. Monsters around the area you are to head : Slime, Hedgehog, Bat, Zombi (can paralyze you (stop)), Bone, Goblin, Stun Rat, Pigman, Quill, Cat Boo. If you run into the Zombi try and run since if he attacks you and inflict you with "stop" you'll automatically die from being paralyzed since you'll have no one else to heal you with Antistop (found later in the game). Now wander out of Old Hill to the west to a town called Winds. Item Shop- Bread- 8G, Antidote- 10G, Magbranch (warps you to old hill)- 12G, Magic Leaf (repels monsters from encountering you)- 24G, and there will be an Armor Shop : Lethsuit- 100G Don't buy the Lethsuit if you have the Hardsuit since it is stronger and protects you from poison. Wander around the town until you find a stairway in one of the houses. Go down the stairway and talk to the kids who ask to join Old Hill. Say yes and they ask you to get Tina. Now go south and then east around the water to a town called Beegees You'll notice one thing about this town the second you get there is the fact that everyone has been turned into dogs. The only human that is normal is the priest in the temple church in the town. Go in there but get ready for a big fight. Church : boss : 3 Badmen These guys are tough and you'll need to heal alot before you beat them. The secret is to concentrate on one at the time until he die then do the same for the others. Make sure you heal. The more of them you kill the less they can hurt you. Once you have killed the 3 of them, talk to the priest and Tina will join you. Notice the dog south of the town is gone so you can move out of the town this way. But first, go to the house farthest north and east there will be : Plum Plum -dresser and a bed. Heal yourself and go to Old Hill and save it before you die then head back to Beegees and go south of the town through the wooden gate so you exit the town there. Badbad's hideout is this way and thats where you want to head next. Try and level Tina up and buy her the Lethsuit if she needs it. Note from Mew : you might want to level up near Old Hill first. From there, the more left you go, the stronger the monster will get. Watch out for the Rock Birds! Also, use Freeze on the Spiders. If you're lucky, you'll get a Mid Sword from Wolves. Also, it's not confirmed yet in the guide but I think you can get an Hardsuit from Goblins. Also, you can get a Derby somewhere here. Monsters near the Bad Bad cave : Badmen, Holo Bird (they may inflict sleep on you), Pumpking, Rock bird, Killer Bee(they may poison you), Spider(they may poison you too), Bad Bunny(they use freeze). These enemies are really tough and you'll find the Holo Bird and Rock Bird extremely hard at first. Kill enough of these monsters so that you'll be at a high enough level in which a couple of hits will kill them and they won't slaughter you anymore. When you are at a high enough level go to the Badbad cave. Badbad cave monsters: bone, ghost (can only be hit with magic attacks), echocat (calls Pumpking and if they fight together can fuse into King Cat), Wolf. These enemies are tough since the Ghosts can only be hit with magic such as fire or ice and the other enemies have high hps. Again if you have trouble fighting these monsters get out of the area and level up. The reason you should test yourself fighting these monsters is because if you ran your way here and can't handle these guys Badbad will destroy you. Note from Mew : Actually, critical hits can hurt ghost but don't hold your breath unless you have an Holycane ready. Also, if you ever meet King Cats, try to defeat them if you're stong enough. They may gives you Moondrops for your troubles. Items found : Rat Tail, Antidote, Normal Hat, Bread, Plum Plum, Telpo, Moondrop, Plum Plum, Restore, Bread Note: Telpo (teleports you to towns youve been to) and Moondrop (fully restores mps), Restore (revives dead member) Try not to use the Moondrops since these things are hard to find though the game and can be used on the last boss of this game. Note from Mew : You don't need THAT many Moondrops for the final battle! : ) Still, dark evil is right. Save them for tough bosses. You will finally make it through the cave to Badbad's house. In the chest you will find a Hardsuit which Tina can wear, a bed before fighting badbad. Heal yourself and fight Badbad. Note from Mew : dark evil, you forgot to put the monster in Badbad's house! Or maybe they are the same than in the cave? Anyway, don't try to level up here even though there's a bed : monsters here can poison you. Level 12 Boss Badbad- He has around 120Hp and he can call for help (badmen). Other then that he uses normal attacks. Use fast on Tina and slow on badbad so your hits will do more damage to him and you take less damage. Note from Mew : you might want to keep some of your magic for healing. Also, in my case, when Badbad calls for help, no one is coming! Maybe I am leveling up too much? ^-^; Once he is defeated he will wander off through a passage. Now it's time to raid the place. Open the chests and walk left over to chair. Items found: 100g, Antidote, Magbranch, Asprin, Dog Pill, Meatball, 200g, and Lethshoes. Meatball restores hps and Dog Pill will be used in Beegees, Lethshoes are armors for shoes. Now go to the priest where Tina was in Beegees and talk to him. He scatters the pill around the town and now the dogs are in human form once again. Hospital- Poison - 5G, Illness- 8G Save Weapon/armor- Dagger- 80G, Short Sword- 120G, Mid Sword - 200G, Steel Cane- 100G, Lethsuit 100G notice there is a p1 at the top of the list. Press the "A" button when it's highlighted and you'll see more stuff : Hard Suit- 320G, Normal Hat 40G Item- Bread -8G, Antidote- 10G, Asprin (cures illness like stop)- 18G, Restore(revives dead)- 300G Walk around the houses until you have found Ryu and he will join the Kusteras. Note from Mew : you can get Ryu for the Kustera team at that point of the game. Talk to everybody in Beegees until you find him. I think he ask you if you're Aquatillon. Say yes and it's done! Once you have all that finished, head to the mayors house in the town and talk to him. He will mention that the kids are kidnapped by the Ringo Bros and say yes to help save them so he moves out of the way. Once hes out of the way check the pots near there for a Moondrop (restores magic). I'd save as many of these as possible since you'll need them for the final boss. Now you'll be in Ringo's hideout. The monsters in this area are Zombi (can stop you), Bone, Killerbug (can poison you), Mantrap (can poison you), and sometimes Ghosts (use Freeze 1) (can only hit these with magic) The green path leads to - derby, Chainmail The yellow path leads to Leach and Bingo (Ringo brothers) Level 14 Leach- heal 1, poison, fire, fast 2, and combine attack lightning (150hp?) Bingo- just attacks (200hp?) Now the best way to beat these guys is to kill Leach first then if you choose, use coma on Bingo, except it has a 40% chance of working. My suggestion is cast Fire and Heal with Tina or cast Freeze and heal with Ray. If you have enough hps then do Fire and also Freeze. Make sure you have the Hardsuit equipped on both Tina and Ray. Bring lots of Breads and run from the monsters in the dungeon so you can make it to the bosses with full energy and magic. Note from Mew : if you're like me, you can bring lot of Bread and fight monsters! ^-^ After you kill them the kids are released and head back to Oldhill. Now leave this town and go to Old Hill and save then go north and west to the builders house from Old Hill. Talk to the builder and the boss and Bun will join and move the barrels out of the way for you. Now head south to Giant. Monsters in this area : Val Eagle, Big Worm, Dragon (they blows fire), Bandits, Man Trap (they may poison you), Fire Fly (they blows fire), Rock Bird, Spider (they may poison you), Pig King. Most of these monsters can be a pain so if you're low on energy run away. Monsters in ice area : Polar Bears, Wolves. Ok so once you make it to Giant. Head north to the gian'ts house and raid the place but don't go to the basement just yet. You'll find a Restore - dresser by bed, and 200g -bookcase by stairs. Now when you first walk into the town you can walk east then north along the outside of the shrub/trees and you'll notice a hole. Walk into this hole and you'll find the miner. Talk to the digger twice and say yes for him to dig a hole in decates for 100g. This is the town that you saw on the way to Giant but you couldn't enter until now. So now your in Decates which is the biggest town in the game. This is the semi rich part of the shops. Armor Shop 1 : Clothsuit-80G, Lethsuit-100G, Hardsuit-320G, Chainmail-440G Armor Shop 2 : Lethshoes-30G, Woodshoes-100G, Normal Hat-40G Weapon shop 1 : Dagger-80G, Shortsword-120G, Midsword-200G, Longsword-700G Weapon shop 2 : Steel Cane-100G, Holycane(1 sharp hit)-600G, Hammer-800G Item Shop 1 : Rat Tail- 22G, Magicleaf-24G, Telpo-26G, Restore-300G (this shop also has an appraiser) Item Shop 2 : Bread-8G, Antidote-10G, Asprin-18G, Antistop 20G(cures stop) Note from Mew : the HolyCane is a anti-undead Weapon. More on that after the walkthrough. You will also find a hospital, Uncle Save, and an inn. Note from Mew : I think you can invite the pretty nurse in the hospital to your town right away. Just don't forget to tell her she's pretty! : ) If she doesn't ask you to come into your town, just come back later in the game. The good thing when she comes to your town, she'll sell you good stuff cheap and the Panacea. You'll want Ben to join the Kusteras. To get him to join you need to talk to his wife in the 3 door house in the poor sector of the town and then to him in the inn at the bar WITH THE AQUATILLON TEAM. He won't join if you use the Kusteras. After that, talk back to his wife to get some money as a reward. Note from Mew : I put the highcase! ^-^; The appraiser in the one item shop can tell you what each item you have does if it possesses a weird effect. The poor part of the town is north of the semi rich part. Weapon Shop : Mittens-10G, Scratcher(cures stop)-14G, Knife-30G Armor Shop : Clothrobe-40G, Clothsuit-80G Item Shop : Bread-8G, Antidote-10G Buy the Scratcher since it cures stop for free when used as an item in battle. Don't bother buying anything else since most of your weapons and armor are 10x better if you've been upgrading your inventory. Note from Mew : when you think about it, the role of those shops is more to illustrate the game than to help you. Now walk to the house which is north near the hospital and looks like a shack building sorta. This is Dynamite's house (full of laboritory people and robots) Go to one of the stairs and talk to Dynamite. A robot will explode then talk to him again and he will give you the Graviton which shrinks Golan the giant. Go back to giant and save. Now enter the giants house (Golan) and head to the stairs and walk to the jail cell door. Talk and Baz will tell you to leave. Golan appears and the fight begins. First things first: USE THE GRAVITON as an item on him. He shrinks to normal size and now you can hit him. Level 15&14 Golan- he only has normal attacks but he does a fair amount of damage and since he's faster he will get the first hit. So cast slow with Tina about 10 times and have Ray use fire or attack him. Keep healing when you are low and attack him when you got the energy. Once hes dead, Baz joins Old Hill. Now go to Decates. Save your game and go to the inn and then proceed east to the circus part of town just past the semi rich sector. You'll see a tent and people in front of it and some buildings on the right. Go to the top right building with the sings on the side for voting. Talk to the guy in the middle with the boxes and he will ask you to vote. Say yes. The mayor says you dropped a vote and say yes The bad mayor wins the election and you leave the building. Go to the house 2 down from here and talk to the mayor again. He will give you a ticket to get into the circus. Now go to the tent and talk to the guy guarding the door. He moves and lets you in. Now go straight north and enter the upper part of Garados circus. Note from Mew : if you ask me, both mayors are bad! : ) Through this area you will see a hall of mirrors and a clown. enter the maze from the far right. Wander though the maze until you can see yourself on the left. Look at the barrels there and youll find 300g. On your way out of the maze at the top you'll be near the Loincloth which is hidden. This is located right near the stairs (3 squares down from it to be exact). So keep pressing the "A" button as you walk and you should find it. Go through the stairs and not out the door. (kicks you out of the circus tent) Now wander around and grab the Woodshoes and Angelhat in the chests. Go through the next set of stairs and talk to the lion. Garados takes him. Now go talk to the priest in the church near where the tent was. He says to go to Bonzel across the bridge by Beegees. First off go to Giant and talk to the digger and he will give you the key (If you talk to the bridge keeper he tells you a brat took it near giant. Big hint!) now you're wandering where he went. Well he's off the screen so you need to go to the right wall of the cave near the middle and walk to it until you pass through it then walk down. Warp to Beegees and go west to the bridge temple. push the button and go south to a house west. Monsters : Dragon (they blow fire), Pig King, Man Trap (they may poison you), Rock Bird, Spider (they may poison you) Go to dr Kaja's house (temple) and talk to him. Go south and enter a thing which looks like a big tree. (make sure you have full mp and hp first) Enter the maze and proceed south and east to the first opening on the right. Wander around there and you'll end up going north. Keep wandering and go leftward and youll eventually reach Sidon. Sidon : Level 16&15 Sidon blows fire, uses coma and bolt Hes pretty strong but if you can manage to get mute working on him you'll get a few free rounds. Once he's dead he drops a moustache Note from Mew : If I recall correctly, he create ligthning instead of using the Bolt spell. The difference is important as "created lighning" isn't blocked by mute, isn't as strong as bolt but hit everybody. Also, Sometime I'm not not very lucky and can't get to Mute Sidon. It's your call to Mute Sidon or not. You might want do save before the fight just in case. I think you can use the Kusteras for that battle instead if you wish. If you do, make sure to have Ryu and Ben. Go to dr Kaja's and talk to him. He gives you 2000g. Go through the passage and go south & east. Monsters: Trap (they may inflict illness), Killerbug (they may poison you), Spider (they may poison you), Pig King, Rock Bird, Spector, Zombie. Now you'll see the ice town called Bonzley so walk to it. Bonzley- First off to the far right side of town a lady has a bed which heals mps and hps. heal up first! Armor Shop : Furcoat (lowers ice damage) -560G, Armor- 750G, Letharmor-1000G, Angelhat- 100G, longboots - 160G Items Shop : Bread- 8G, Aspring- 18G, Rattail- 22G, Calmherb-28G, Restore -300G Weapons Shop : Holycane (1 sharp hit)-600G, Blade (crt %)- 660G, Spear-900G, Vulcangun- 1000G Now swap and save and go to the cave south (buy some calm herbs first!!) Note from Mew : a gun in a rpg. Now we're talking! : P Alpine shrine cave Monsters : Goldog, Tulanchula, Armor, Dragon, Icebear, Gas Dragon, Spector (you need magic for those too) Yellow- Telpo, 300g, Moondrop, Cowboy Hat, Rat Tail, Power Cane Green- 2000g, Cowboy Hat, Moondrop Once you wander through the cave you'll meet Garados finally. Garados- level 17 & 16 He uses snowstorm, Mute, Evade 3, and Freeze L2) To beat him just use a calm herb if he hits you with mute or daze and just proceed to attack him with magic and heal when low on hp. Without the calm herbs he is a tough boss! Note from Mew : If you have a Furcoat, you might want to try it. Garados can evade your physical attacks (he "jumps" above them). However, what's making him hard is Evade level 3. Whenever you attack him the same turn that he casted that spell, you might get confused. I don't think you can go in an all out spell offensive without using Moondrops. Instead, make sure to bring enough calmherbs. Save before that battle! Once he's dead walk behind the thrown and get Cody the lion. Go to Bonzley to heal then to Kaja's house (Now Panacea can be bought in the hospital in old hill if you got the nurse from Decates) Talk to dr Kaja and say yes to change the lion back (you can skip this part and go to old hill and walk on the temple square to revive Cody or follow this) now dr says go to the old man south and to the west. Talk to the old man and Shark and he will tell you to go to Old Hill. (saved you some time by skipping this) Note from Mew : After Cody is "Ungolded", he can help you as a lion. Put the animation on in battle and see by yourself! : ) Cody gets revived and you'll be thankfull you have him now. Note from Mew : Cody is like your tank-like heavy hitter! Now you can name Old Hill to whatever you want. But make sure you remember the name. Now go to decates and to the poor section to the north. Go to the 3 doors house and walk in the middle door. Leona comes in after you talk to the badmen and then she's captured by Dram and taken away. Go in to the Armor Shop and talk to the people in there. (they mentions second job in the backyard) Now go to the right of this town and you'll see a path going south along the water. Walk along this and go to the far right and talk to sales man. He says he sell candies or ... explosives! Buy them for 100g and then go to the wall north and east Walk to the middle of the wall and select time bomb in your inventory. The wall will explode. It will open you the way to the rich sector of Decatas. Now go to the house above the weapon shop and walk into the empty bed. You'll transport to Leona and talk to her. she joins and you now have a party of 4! (note the guy sleeping says he hears noises in the house so that's how I figured it out) (note 2: theres a quick robe hidden in the top right house in the north east most house (dresser) Note from Mew : wasn't there a lot of money hidden in some of the houses? Mainly the one with that guy who have so much money he don't know what to do with it? Oh and Leona is your speedy heavy hitter. Now its time to go shopping in Decates rich sector. Weapons Shop : Yoyo- 600G, Hand aXe- 1200G, Riotgun- 1400G Items Shop : Bread- 8G, Antidote- 10G, Asprin- 18G, Antistop- 20G, Rat Tail- 22G Armor Shop - Armor-750G, Letharmor- 1000G, Quickrobe- 1200G, Iron Armor- 1800G Fly to Old Hill and heal and save. Now go to the north part of the town and talk to Baz who says he saw that rock. The digger comes out of no where and makes a hole for you to enter the other continent. Go through there and keep going east through the snow to Box Town. Note from Mew : I think that at that time of the game, you can get the Sup Plum from the kid in Baz's house. If not, it's later in the game! ^-^; Anyway, the Sup Plum fully heal one of your character. After you used it, come back to get another one. Make sure to have it for boss battles. Monsters : Eyeball, Ice Bear, Goldogs, Mad Bird, Val Eagle, Armor, Gas Dragon, Grizley, Wolf Box town : Theres only one thing to do in this town and that's buy the boxing gloves and beat Andy in a fight (you can't fight him unless you equip the gloves) This is another weapon/armor shop in one person like the item one in Winds) Weapons : Gloves-900G (Andy's boxing gloves), Armor : Cowboyhat- 200G, Speed Shoes - 800G Items : Bread-8G, Antidote-10G, Asprin-18G, Restore-300G Go to the big tent and talk to the guy in the chair when you have the gloves equipped. Andy : he only attacks with punches but here's a secret to beating him easily. First you want to be at level 18, next go to the item menu during the fight and equip the Vulcan Gun. why?? It's cheating but makes things easier!!) So Andy is out and he says to go to Sleeper Town south from here. (HEAL FIRST!) Sleepers : Go into the house under the tavern west and talk to the guy in white robs and fight. Arthur : he attacks with gas and storm 1. You'll want to be at levels 18, 17, 13, 12 Use Mute 2 and Coma 2 which will stop a lot of his magic power. Now when you beat him go south to a town called Karappon. Go to the barn and talk to the warehouse worker. Say yes and him and his brothers will remove the rocks. Now you have a warehouse storage keeper in Old Hill to swap items with kusteras in the barn Andy and Arthur also join the kusteras. Go south now. Monsters : Trap, Dragon, Val Eagle, Catboo #2, Mantrap Note from Mew : Actually, Catboo #2 is called catboo but he is stronger that the previous Catboos. (Remember this town for the blacksmith latter in the game which sells the best armor pieces) Codo Weapons Shop : Wildclaw (1 sharp)- 700G, Powercane (crt %)-1200G, Broadsword-1500G, Warhammer (crt %)- 1800G Armor Shop : You can talk to both guys but they won't sell anything (This is the blacksmith I was talking about!) Items Shop : Bread-8G, Antidote-10G, Asprin-18G, Telpo-26G, Restore-300G Go south when your done buying things to the desert town of Lagoon . (In the middle of the desert by the water) Note from Mew : just for fun, talk to the people here first with the Kusteras before talking to them with the Aquatillon. Monsters : Vegilisks, Scorpion, Beetle, Rock, Antlion Lagoon: Items Shop : Bread-8G, Antidote- 10G, Asprin-18G Weapons Shop : Knife-30G, Dagger-80G, Shortsword-120G, Midsword-200G Armor Shop : Clothrobe-40G, Clothsuit-80G, Lethsuit-100G, Shoes 24G, Lethshoes 30G (all junk you could buy before!!) Theres only one thing to do in this town and that's enter the tavern and talk to the guy in the far left He says oh your building a town?? Hahahaha Now when you leave this town a priest blocks the exit. Talk to him and he turns to Dram and you're kicked out of the town. Dram says to go to brasca Now you're in the maze!! Note from Mew : Once again, for fun, switch for the Kustera team and go back to Lagoon. To exit the maze go south until you see the town again but don't enter it and now go west until you see the town again. Enter it now!! The music will go back to normal and you can go south to Brasca. Brasca : once you enter this town it gets bombed to a crisp. Now save your game and get ready for the well cave. Enter the well in the town at the top of the town. Note from Mew : you're saying a lot about the story, dark evil! But then again, it's not that there will be that many people who will play the game, a bit like Brandish, Brain Lord or Terranigma, so maybe it's right anyway. Ancient well Monsters : Blade Fish, Bolt Fish, Rock, Scorpion, Beetle, Antlion, Vegilisk Bread, Bread, Telpo Note from Mew : Ok, if you're really lucky, you'll get a Discarmor from the fishes. Discarmor rocks! Give it to Leona. Disregard the lower attack power, you won't regret it. By the way, if I recall correctly, the Discarmor is a cameo from an hard old nes game where you only have one life before game over. I forgot the name! Hit all the switches and cast "Step" so the lava doesn't hurt you when you walk in it. Once your done you'll reach a room with an old guy and a bed with someone in it. Talk to the man by the bed and he will mentions who he is and your parents and about Dan. Dram comes and kills the wise man and you fight him Dram : be at level 20 with Ray and use Slow on him. Dram only does a rapid attack which consists of two hits to one person. Use magic to heal and attack and beat him with strong hits when low on magic Also use Power and Fast to make things go a little faster. Note from Mew : Enjoy the boss battle music! : D Once he's beaten he says he's going to blow everything up. Dan get up from the bed, teleports you out of the cave and joins the Aquatillon as a wise man. You'll hear Old Hill gets bombed and go there. (NOTE: the item warehouse is now with the group house to the bottom left until Old Hill is rebuilt) Talk to Dynamite and he says you need a nail to sail. Go to the builders house to the west of old hill (where you got Bun) and there's an X flag on the side of the building. walk to the flag and press "A" (I figured this out by the builder saying he has great strong nails and wandering around cluelessly!) Now you got the gold nail. Go back to Dynamite and he gives you the power to sail the ships now!! Water monsters : Tentacles, Shark, Bolt Fish, Blade Fish, Sea Horse, Sea Snake, Sea Dragon (note : Repel works nicely in water) Note from Mew : The sea is a nice spot for leveling up. Try to get a Discarmor and a Elfin Bow from the monsters. Now you'll want to get Shark to join the kusteras. He is located by the old man where I mentioned about Cody. Shark will only join once you have Dan! (warps to Bonzley and go west to the house) So now you have David, Ryu (from Beegees), Ben (Decates), Shark (old man house), Andy (from Box Town) and Arthur (from Sleepers) for the kusteras. ****************************************************************************** Doing this later gives you another member for kustera and better weapons and armor for each temple boss. Ok here's what I call the part of intermission. You can go through the temples and become aquatillon and go through the temple mazes with kusteras and get the special metals and the wands which are a big help. Mind you that you'll need to do this sooner or later once you get to Moreeyes since Murray wont give you the next orb until you've reached Aquatillon status. Again you don't need to do this now but if you want to, go ahead. (refer to temple info later on by moreeyes to do this) Note from Mew : the intermission in question is four temples across the game. One is near Old Hill, another near the bridge shrine, one near Codo and one on an icy island. You can heal there. Also, at each shrine, there is a boss for the Aquatillon and a dungeon with a special metal (like Iridium) to get. The bosses there are strong and should be avoided for a while. The Kusteras dungeon can be accessed as soon as you get two of them. You're not forced to do them right away but as dark evil said, there a lot of good stuff to get here. ****************************************************************************** Now warp to Giant and take the ship west and north a bit to Onsaka island. Theres two towns here one is Onsaka and the other is Edon. Walk into Edon and talk to the mayor in the big house. Say yes. You'll will then have to go to Onsaka fight the guard there. Onsaka : go to the main building to the north and talk to the guard/samurai. He challenges you to a fight. Jubei: he has an attack which puts you to sleep and he jumps most attacks. Make sure you are at level 20ish and use slow and magic attacks on him When he's done, he will join the kusteras and now go to Edon. Talk to the mayor again and get the Red Orb from him. Onsaka: Armor Shop : Ironarmor-1800G, Musyasuit-2500G, Warhelm-360G Item Shop : Meatball-8G, Antidote-10G, Telpo-26G, Restore-300G Weapon Shop : Shortbow (crt %)-280G, Ninjasword - 700G, Ninja star (crt % hit %)-1400G, Steelspear (ht %)-2500G In the mayors house of edon look around and get the brokenmoon and Dragonsword (for Ryu) from the chests in the basement. Edon: Weapon Shop : Ninjasword-700G, Brokensword (ht %)- 840G, Broadsword-1500G, Battle Axe (crt%)-2800G Armor Shop : Musyasuit-2500G, Ninjasuit (resistant against poison/fire)-6100G, Lethshoes-30G, Warhelm-360G Take the ship east of Brasca to Moreeyes. Moreeyes Weapon Shop : Battleaxe (crt%)-2800G, Jumpsuit-2000G, Sneakers-340G, Gasmask (resistant against gas/poison)400G Go to the temple north and talk to wizard and say yes. (He mentions you need to become Aquatillons!) ok now this is the intermission part I mentioned which you need to do now!! *Note walking on the opposite squares will heal your mp and hp in each temple just like Old Hill's temple. *note 2: repel works nicely if you don't want to fight as the kusteras. Fire temple : located to the east of Beegees. Ray: Level 22 Fire boss: uses Fire level 1 & 2 and blows fire and has a normal attack. The best way to beat this monster is have the strongest weapon and bring Breads to save on magic. Keep attacking him until he's dead and you'll become Aquatillon once you walk on the square. Note from Mew : Actually, I would use magic to save items. Kustera gate : Holycane, 500g, Restore, Moondrop, Iridium, Long Sword, Antidote, Rat Tail Monsters : Bad Bunny, Goblin, Pigman, Catboo, Bone, Zombi, Bat, Pumpking, Firefly, Mantrap, Stun Rat Ice Temple: located to the west of beegees past the bridge Tina: Level 22 Water boss: Mermaid- snowstorm, Slow 1, normal attack, Freeze l2, Fast The best way to beat the mermaid is with the Bolt Cane used as an item and by casting Slow and Fast to make your attacks strong enough for a kill. To get the Bolt Cane you must go through the kustera part of the temple of Leona on the ice island. Note from Mew : You don't need to get the Bolt Cane for that boss. But I like dark evil's idea! : ) Kustera gate : Angelhat, Powercane, Plum Plum, Asprin, Restore, Asprin, Ultrium, Barrier, 1000g Monsters : Val Eagle, Big Worm, Rock Bird, Ghost, Trap, Man Trap, Spider, Killerbug Earth temple : located north of giant by ship on ice island (looks like a house) Leona : Level 20 Earth boss : Clay- Mirror 1, attack, bolt Use Mirror level 1 and then level 2, Breads to heal, and your normal attack Kustera : Restore, Crown, Rat Tail, Calm Cane, Bread, Idol Dress, Broknmoon, Mirror, Organium, Boltcane, 5000g Monsters : Spector, Trap, Man Trap, Goldog, Firefly, Catboo, Armor, Ice Bear, Talanchula, Grizley, Wolf Wind temple: located west of karapon to the very far part Cody: Level 20 Bosses: Cold and Warm wind Cold- attack and Storm 1 Hot- Heals, Antpower 1, Power 1 Sometime they attack together, dealing lot of damage. Best thing to do is kill the hot wind first and heal with Bread and use Power 2 Note from Mew : don't bother with Antipower. I tried it and it's not worth the trouble. Kustera: Rat Tail, Crown, Aspirin, 2000g, Moondrop, Firecane, Barrier, Eledium Monsters: Spider, Trap, Mantrap, Pig King, Rock Bird, Wolf, Gas Dragon, Spector, Talanchula, Bandit Once you've all beaten the temples and become aquatillons, you will see a cutscene and become Bannletts! (note there is no temple for Dan since he is a Wise Man and not Pennon to begin with) (side note: you don't need to do the kustera gates yet until much later in the game but its best to do it now) Note from Mew : now you can fuse spell with all of your four Aquatillons. There should be a list of the fusion spells after the walkthrough. Save and go to Moreeyes. Talk to Murray and say yes to go to the pirate cave. Pirate cave/Ghost cave Monsters: Bone, Firefly, Zombie, Ghost, Warrior, Catboo, Summoner Yellow : Rat Tail, Plum Plum, Antistop, Moondrop, Asprin, Restore, Bread Green : Plum Plum, Calm Herb, Antidote, 1000g Walk near the chest at the end of the cave when ready to fight and the pirate will awakens. Undead: Rapid attack, Bolt 2, Storm 2, Evade 3, Daze, Mute 2, jump You should be at level 22 and use Mirror 1, Fast 3, Slow 2, Power 2, Bolt 1 and Bomb/Bolt Cane Make sure you have Panaceas and Calm Herbs for this battle since they stop daze and mute. Once Undead is dead open the chest and get the Gold Moi Go to Moreeyes and go to the temple and talk to Murray. He joins kustera and gives you the blue orb. NOW SAVE!! Fly to Moreeyes after you have full hps and mps and the best weapons and armors Sail north past the pirate cave to the water area which looks shallow near the old man house where you found Shark. There is a yellow patch there. When your ready to fight sail on it and the crystals (orbs) shines. Clarken appears Clarken: rapid attack and gas You want to be levels 25,25,23,23,21 Use Fire 3, Bolt1/2, Bolt Cane as item, Slow, Bomb and heal yourself. When he's dead, you'll receive Tacosmin. Note from Mew : is it just me or the Wind + Bolt fusion works well here? Warp to Decates and go to Dynamite's old lab. Go upstair and talk to the professor. Say yes and the rocket explodes. Go to the top right hole and talk to dr Ash in the house. Leave this town (Elekees) and go west and south to Alazina. Note from Mew : I always get lost here. Sometime I even end up near Booth Castle before finding Alazina! Anyway, monsters give good stuff here. You might get Rose Shoes and Life Vests. Enjoy the music! Elekees: Armor Shop : Iron Armor-1800G, Lifevest (resitant against poison/fire)-3000G, Ironsuit-6000G, Sneakers- 340G, Ironhelm-800G Weapons Shop : Short bow (crt%)- 280G, Greatsword (crt%)-3300G, Lasergun (1 sharp hit)-5400G Items Shop : Bread-8G, Antidote-10G, Telpo- 26G, Calm herb- 28G, Restore -300G Talk to Evelyn at the house to the right south and she joins the Kusteras. Monsters: Spy Eye, Crawler (Moth), Falcon Note from Mew : if I recall correctly, the Laser Gun isn't all that great when you first get it. HOWEVER, when you'll get to fight robots... Alazina Weapons Shop : Longbow (crt%)-700G, Greatsword (crt%)- 3300G, Greatspear (1 sharp hit %)-9000G Armor Shop : Dress-5000G, Magrobe-6800G, Eaglearmor-8200G, Pumps-500G When your ready and saved go south to Booth castle! Booth castle : (use Fly By to exit the castle) Monsters : Warrior, Summoner, Gust, Ghost, Vampire, Gas Slag, Gold Mo, Vambat Items : Moondrop, Mirror, Firesword, Firearmor, Red Hood, Bread, Wizrobe, 1000g A lot of the items are hidden through areas you must walk underneath on the screen and the 2 other items are in chests when you fall off the edge of the castle walls in 2 spaces. Once your done treasure hunting and make it to Booth, swap and save. Booth : Fire 3, Bomb 1, Bomb 2, Bolt 1 Be at level 25 and use Mirror 1, Firesword&Fire combo, Fast 3, Bomb 2, Regain, Evade 2. Shouldn't be too hard of a fight. Now leave the castle and go to Elekees and talk to dr Ash for getting the Niagaran. Now go to your ship on the left of the town and sail up the river north to a lake. Go to the waterfall of the lake and press up and you'll sail up the waterfall. Now sail east along the river path. Youll enter a small town called Dengers. Dengers: Weapon : Knife-30G, Dagger-80G, Short Sword-120G, Mid Sword- 200G Item : Bread-8G, Antidote-10G, Asprin-18G, Magicleaf-24G, Telpo-26G Bunny Girl- 400g Bunny Suit Once you're in this town head north to the dancer in the bunny suit and talk to her. Buy 3 bunny suits and equip them on Ray, Cody, Dan and head out of the town and down the river to the south and west along the bottom river trail to another town (do not go down the waterfall) called Amaboss. Note from Mew : just for fun, put the battle animation on and some Bunny Suits and have some battles. Right when you enter the town talk to the guards once youve equiped all 3 males with the bunnysuits. If you don't do this the game will not progress. Talk to the guards and they take you into the town and capture you. Then you will be asked if you're male. Say yes. Say yes to killing Gara as well. Kathy and Beth will now join the Kusteras and you're free to wander around this castle/town (note once you beat Gara this town/castle and upper continent will become no more so buy what you can here and don't miss anything in Gara's castle) The basement of this castle leads to the secret path to Gara's castle. but first off wander around the town. Amaboss: Armor Shop : Bunnysuit (resitant against poison/fire)-400G, dress-5000G, Pumps-500G, Heels-1000G Weapons Shop : Longbow (crt%)-700G, Battle Axe (crt%)-2800G, Greatsword (crt%)-3300G Items Shop : Bread-8G, Antidote-10G, Asprin-18G, Rat Tail- 22G, Restore-300G Uncle Save is dressed as a Bunnydancer and in this building you will find 1000g in a pot. Now onto Gara's castle. Secret Path to castle : Items : Swim Suit, Restore, Moondrop Monsters : Cleric, Roper, Soursis, Golbird, Orchu Gara's castle : Monsters : Roper, Golbird, Ochu, Cleric, Soursiris Items : Crown, Ice Armor, Idoldress, Heels Note from Mew : Clerics are a pain. They have wind spells AND revive their friends. Take care of them ASAP. Work your way to the top of the castle where Gara is and the battle begins Gara : Freeze 3, Storm 2, Bolt 2 Use the same strategy when fighting Booth against Gara and use Bolt 2 as much as possible with Leona. Note form Mew : With all those elemental spells, Mirror L3 is a good idea too. Once Gara is dead Homncruise appears and explodes the upper continent. A chopper comes to your rescue and dr Ash gives you the Gyro Chopper. Now your wondering how do I get back to Old Hill with this thing?? Well it doesnt land on the other continent so you must exit it and cast Fly By to Old Hill. The chopper follows you there and youll also notice old hill is rebuilt. Save and heal and head west of Karapon to Hidon. Hidon : Items Shop : Bread-8G, Antidote-10G, Rat Tail-22G, Telpo-26G Weapons Shop : Battleaxe (crt %)-2800G, Greatsword (crt%)-3300G, Greathammer(1 sharp crt%)-5600G, Greatspear (1 sharp ht%)-9000G Armor Shop : Magrobe-6800G, Silverarmor (resistant against lightning)-8800G, Musyahat-1200G, Heels-1000G (note: this is the best place to get armor for kusteras since silver is the strongest most of them can wear!) Note from Mew : Enjoy the music around this place! ^-^ Now work your way up to the cave and enter it. Misty Pass Misty pass: Monsters: Galuda, Dragoon, Morpho The best thing to use when fighting all of these monsters is try Coma 3 and most of them will fall asleep. Go to the door in the lab and walk up. Dr. Parkless talks and flip the time machine switch, go in the temple and walk to the grey stars, then walk on the coloured star. Bosen comes and mentions the Metal Sword and the Light Orb. Go to Dontos which is west of Secates. Dontos: Weapon : Halberd (crt %)-11000G, Great Axe (1 sharp crt%)- 12400G Item : Bread-8G, Telpo-26G Talk to the guy above the weapon shop and says 5 engines . Leave and talk to the guy in the top left house. He says something about work and a siren goes off. Enter the lab and go on the star to teleport into the lab. Steelers Lab Monsters : Pattleoid, Legs, Robot A, Robot B, New Moon Pattleoid and Legs fuse into Pilder Robot A and Robot B fuse into Al Beta Note from Mew : I hope your Laser Gun is ready. Also, if you're really lucky and I mean really, really lucky, you'll get a Bolt Sword from a Pilder. Also, you might get Wind Shoes from some of the monsters. It's one of the best shoes in the whole game! Dan really needs them! Items : Discarmor, Barrier, Silverarmor, Mirror, Rat Tail, Moondrop, Roseshoes To get to the engine room fall by the hole near where you found the moondrop Now walk up to each generator and press "A" . you will be asked to turn the switch and say yes. There's 5 of them located in the sections of the number 5 on a side of a dice. X X X X X When you finish pushing all 5 buttons, the place blows up and you end up in Decates. The mayor of decates says thanks and kicks you out of Old Hill where he now moved the town to. ********intermission 2********************* (1 thing which should be done. Go to Codo and get the blacksmith) So you're wondering where he went now since he's not in the armor shop. The guy mentioned he left. Well he's in the same town in the church. Walk to the back of the church and straight down the middle and you will find a hidden passage. He says he will join you and you now have a blacksmith which can build the metal armor, metal boots, and metal helm. Mind you I don't think he sells them until you beat Godem. Also make sure you have the Iridium, Organium, Ultrium, Eledium - all the idium things from the kustera gates in the temples. ***************************************** So once that'ss done you need to go to the Brisben dungeon. where is that? North of Old Hill Brisben This area looks like the temples which you faught the temple bosses to become aquatillon. Walk north and Godem bombs the city (doesnt look like a city) This opens up a star gate. Walk into it. Brisben dungeon Monsters : Dragoon, Galuda, Legs, Robot A, Robot B, Pattleoid, Ice Dragon, Ice Bear, New Moon Items : 20000g, Moondrop, Windshoes, Barrier Once you reach Godem talk to him and fight (swap save). Godem- fire, Bolt 3, Fire 3, bolt Use the same strategy as Booth and Gara with the Flame Blade etc Once Godem is dead collect the treasure chests. Items : Elfinbow, Bestclaw, Icesword, Restore, Aquatillium (note : Elfinbow is for Kathy, Bestclaw for Evelyn/Leona, Ice Sword for Ray/Cody/Leona) Now fly to Old Hill and Dynamite takes you into the Shrine. He flips some switches and the place lights up and a door open. Now go grab the Iridium, Ultrium, Eledium, and Organium from the warehouse/kusteras. (HOPE YOU GOT THEM BY NOW OR YOU WILL HAVE TO AT THIS POINT AND TIME OR YOU'RE STUCK!!!) So once you have all of the 4 items in your inventory of aquatillons, go to the panel by the computer monitor and press "A". Old hill will turns into UFO ALGOS!!! Now you have a ufo to travel all over the place. UFO ALGOS Item shop : this is located at the bottom right door by the computer room where you take off. You walk into the other room and there will be a star by a desk. Walk up to it and press "A". Item shop : Bread-8G, Antidote-10G, Asprin-18G, Antistop-20G, Rat Tail-22G, Calm Herb-28G, Restore-300G, Barrier-1600G, Metal Boots-2200G, Metal Helm-2400G (note there's 2 pages of items) Now if you want to go wander around Old Hill you must go to the lower left room of the computer area and then south of the temple where you get your mps/hps square and walla! Old Hill is still there! Mind you that you can't exit the way you normally do. In order to leave the ufo you must exit through the stair or use the panel to fly to where youd like. Hopefully you've gotten the blacksmith, the nurse from Decates since they sell things which are hard to come by. The nurse you can get to join when you just get Cody in human form and the blacksmith you can get now or before fighting Godem. but now is the part where you can buy from the blacksmith. Nurse Jill : AntidoteII-8G, AsprinII- 16G, AntistopII-18G, Panacea (cure poison/fever/stop)-30G, RestoreII-280G DR: poison-5G, illness-8G Blacksmith: Metalboots-2200G, Metal Helm-2400G, Metal Armor (resistant against lightning)-9000G Dynamite also gives you a Vita Plum and his robots have a sound test programed in them. NOW WHAT? Well you need to go to volcano cave. Where is?? South of the fire temple near Beegees. I see it. Now what? Fly the ufo into the hole above the volcano and you land inside it automatically. Now get out of the ufo by using the stairs and go north to the star like squares. Homncruise revives all of his bosses. Now go to each orange star. (note from Mew : the Vita Plum Restore hps for all of your team! Also, you can get others if you use up the first one.) 1st boss temple- Bio Dram : normal/rapid attack Monsters: Legs, Dragoon, Galuda, Pattleoid You must bring the kusteras into the dungeon to go through the grey portals and open the doors which aquatillons can not pass through. Grey doors- Royal Sword (kustera weapon for Ryu/Jubei, has a Rapid Attack) Yellow doors- Broken Moon Bio Dram isn't much different from Dram and should be fought the same way as the previous one. Note from Mew : do you still have the Laser Gun? Yes, it still works! Also, some of the bosses here may be fought with the Kusteras, if you wish. Once he's dead the other gate opens up. Go heal and get ready for round 2. 2nd boss temple- Bio Booth : Bomb 3, Bolt 2 Monsters : Vampire, Trool, Cleric, Gas Slag, Soursoris, Gust Grey door- Curecane Yellow door- Wizrobe Fight Bio Booth the same as Booth yet get ready to use Regain 2 as much as possible. Bio Booth is probably one of the toughest bosses you will ever face so try not to waste any Brokenmoons or Mirror items on him since you'll need them for the final battle. If you're having trouble, level up and fight him again. Note from Mew : some of the monsters in the game can only be fought in the boss shrines. Some of them give unique stuff like Space Suit and Cure Cane. If you want those, get them right away while you still can, since you can't come back here after the bosses are beaten. 3rd boss temple : Bio Gara : bolt 2, storm 3, storm 2 Monsters : Iron Ox, Cleric, Sourseris, New Moon, Oga, Trool (note: Great Axe does critical hits vs trool/oga) Yellow door: Broknmoon Fight Bio Gara the same as Booth and just hope for the best Note from Mew : once again use Mirror L3 too. 4th boss temple: Bio Godem- Bolt, Bolt 2, Bolt 3, rapid attack Yellow door- boltsword, mirror Monsters: Oga, Ghost (skeleton), Gas Slag, New Moon, Trool, Vambat Ok now youll have the Bolt, Fire and Ice swords. You have 3 options for combo attacks : Ray-fire 1 Cody/Leona Fire Sword, Tina-Ice 1 Ray/Cody/Leona Ice Sword, Leona-Bolt Ray/Cody Boltsword So now if one person dies who can't use the attack you have a backup until your restore kicks in. Get it?? In other words. If Leona dies you can't use the Bolt Sword combo. But Tina and whoever has the Ice Sword can still attack while, say, Dan uses restore 2 or whatever. The Boltslash does the most damage while the others are the weaker versions. Using power on the person attacking will also increase the damage by a little. Anyhow. You beated the bio bosses. Now go heal and save. Note from Mew : personnaly, I don't use the Bolt Slash Combo, it prevent me of attacking with the Best Claw. Instead, I use the Ice Sword Combo wit Cody. But that's just me! : ) The last temple is Homncruises cave/lair. Homncruise pit to hell Note from Mew : lol, dark evil is right! The music really give you that feel. Monsters: Red Dragon, Guardian, Ironman, Servant, King Bull, Zeratin, New Moon, Ice Dragon, Whyte, Pilder, Bull Head, Lord, and Rich... Wait, I forgot ARCH BULL. how could I? Items: Plum Water, Mirror Note from Mew : Plum Water can only be used during a battle. It cast Regain L1. Most importantly, it is reusable! Don't be afraid to use it, it won't break! By the way, do you really think those monsters are called "Bull" in the japanese version? : D Archbull lurks on the bottom dungeon and is simply the most annoying enemy in the game!! He casts bomb 2, does rapid attacks, and a few other annoying things!! If you see this guy in a group run for now unless you plan on making trips for experience Note from Mew : as if it wasn't bad enough, this guy can evade magic attacks. It's very bad if that happen while you used Devistate! However, he drops the Space Blade... sometime! Well once you make it to the bottom youll see a star gate. Go in it and fight Homncruise (BIG NOTE: DON'T WASTE YOUR ITEMS FIGHTING HIM!!!!) Why? Because you can not kill him whatsoever and this is part of the game. I wasted all my moondrops and broknmoons on him the first time and ruined my chances. So let him kill you which is very easy for him to do... by snowstorm attacks. Note from Mew : kudos to you for surviving long enough for using up all of your stuff! By the way, if you get a critical hit, you can actually damage Homncruse. But in the end it won't save you. Anyway, I never thought that a snowstorm attack could be this strong! o-O Bosen appears and says to get the Metlsword and Light Orb. Go to the red fountain which is the cave you went in where you seen David appear and talk about joining on volcano island. Go to the Aris shrine and walk into the aquatillon door to the red fountain. Walk into the red water/lava to the metal sword and press "A" Rays dad appears and you get the Metal Sword and Light Orb!! woooo! Now go back to Old Hill and save and level up to high hell to level 38 or higher and bring all the Moon Drops and restores and Broknmoons and Mirrors and Barriers you have! Note from Mew : don't bother with Barriers when Leona can cast Mirror L3. Also, I think that at this point of the game, the town of Winds is rebuilt by the kids from Old Hill. Now you've made it to Homncruise again. Use the light orb and now you can hit the SOB! Homncruise #2 real form: uses Bomb 3, bolt 3, bolt and Land 3 (removes mirror/barriers/slow/fast/power) Basically he's the powerhouse of the game. You'll need to have Ray hit with the Metal Sword, Leona using mirror spells, Dan using regain to heal everyone, Cody using power on Ray, Tina healing/life etc. Note from Mew : Don't hold back anything anymore, just don't spend too much time on powering up because of Land3. Also, remember that you can use the Bolt sword, the Metal Sword and the Cure Cane as items. Finally if you beat him youll see the ending and realise... It was just a story! Mind you there's other ways to beat him but this is just a simple one. Be at Level 38 or higher. Note from Mew : isn't that spoilers for the end dark evil? Maybe you should move down the last part so that some people don't get angry... HIDDEN ITEMS IN TOWNS/HOUSES Elekes: Rat Tail- uncle save house bed chest Chair in dr ash house- teleports back to rocket but nothing else Ironsuit- dresser north most east house Donto- Mirror- bed chest house above weapon shop Broknmoon- Pot north west most house Edon- Mayor house 2nd floor - 600g in dresser right side of room - Restore left by sleeping people dress Moreyes- Magbranch- bed dresser uncle save house 200g pot house above weapon shop Codo- Moon Drop- pot house west of weapon shop and south Boxtown- Magbranch- pot house above weapon/armor shop Bonzley- 500g pot house most south west Decates - semi rich- Magic Leaf- dresser in uncle save house Mag Branch- dresser in uncle save house 300 g- dresser in uncle save house Poor- Bread- bed dresser chef house 6g pot of chef house 500g- chefs wife, 2g pot, bread bed dresser, 4g pot Rich part- 200g - bed dresser west house near gate 200g- pot west house near gate Quickrobe- dresser north east house Other small finds included in walkthrough at start of game ************************************************************ Secrets and glitches Secrets: Aquatillon is the japan version of this game which has been poorly translated in many ways of spelling. Note from Mew : let me mention a couple of stuff : Rich, Whyte, Zeratin. Also, I find "Bull" and the Metal Sword suspicious. Also, Rat Tail should be "Rabbit Tail" Shortened. Fly by and flee work in towns but not inside the houses of them Items used in battle : Scratcher cures stop when used as an item Discarmor casts fast 1 when used as an item Firecane casts fire 1 when used as an item Boltcane casts bolt 1 when used as an item Calmcane casts mute 3 when used as an item Curecane casts heal 2 when used as an item Firesword casts fire 2 when used as an item Icesword casts freeze 2 when used as an item Boltsword casts bolt 2 when used as an item Metalsword casts heal 3 when used as an item Things to sell to the antique dealer in decates Plumplum 500g Ticket 1000g Tacosmin 2000g Niagaran 3000g Note from Mew : I think that you can also sell one of the orb. Everything you sell in shops you get 50% for it. 1000 g sword will be worth 500g so don't buy something which is going to do less in the long run. Swap save- if your about to fight a big battle using aquatillons and want to save before it, simply swap to kusteras and save their location. When you swap back, you will both be in the same position you were when you saved like a save state. You can control the kusteras with controller 2 if you have it plugged in and controller 1 can control aquatillons making this a 2p rpg though not simultaniously. There is also an appraiser who can tell you what each item/weapon/armor does in Decates in the item shop by the semi rich area. He will let you know if a weapon or armor protects you from something or has some ability but won't say exactly what. 1 sharp hit= critical hits to a certain group of enemies all the time. crt%= increase hit percentage so you will connect the hit as a critial blow. hit%= increase hit percentage so you will connect the hit. poison- prevent being poisoned if hit. gas- lower damage of blow gas. fire- lower damage of blow fire. snow- lower damage of snow storm. lightning- lower damage of bolt. Stats : Power- the amount of damage you will do to an enemy minus their defence Defence- the amount of damage you will take from an enemy minus their power Speed- the ability to attack before someone else or run from battle or avoid an attack combined with defence Luck- the ability to get critical hits or land spells which miss such as life and mute/coma Royalsword, Discarmor, Bestclaw, Elfinbow all do rapid attacks when equiped as a weapon (they hit twice). You can equip another weapon instead of gloves during the battle with Andy to beat him faster. There's 2 versions of Catboo and 2 versions of ghost. The other Ghost is a skeleton. Ghosts and spectors can only be hit with magic or a certain weapon (Holycane, Curecane) Note from Mew : critical hits works too but don't hold your breath. There's 3 monsters I know of which fuse/join together. Catboo and Pumpking = Catking Pattleoid and Legs = Pilder Robot A and Robot B = Al Beta Also some of the worms turn into moths. Each of these enemies will form new attacks and make their battles more challenging. Enemy weaknesses: Some enemies are weak against certain magic spells and other certain weapon attacks Fire works well against those made of gol or gold. Lightning works well against those of water or made of metal. Freeze works well against bugs such as spiders. Storm works well against ??. Elfinbow wooks well against dragon like monsters. Bestclaw works well against bird like monsters. Coma works well against pigmen clones and dragoon/garludas. Mute works well on clerics and their clones. Holycane and Curecane works well against Undead. Lasergun works well on robots and Bio Dram. Great Axe works great on oga/trool. Metal Sword works well on dragons and Homncruse. Basically anything which has a 1 sharp hit works to some weakness on certain enemies. figuring this out is another task which I'm trying to do. "1 Sharp hit" weapons : Holycane Wildclaw Lasergun Greatspear Greathammer Greataxe Agedsword Metalsword Curecane Icesword Bestclaw Elfinbow Note from Mew : is Icesword a "1 Sharp hit" weapon? Two enemies in the game CAN NOT be killed: Golan unless you use Graviton and the first version of HOMNCRUISE. You need the Light Orb to make him vulnerable in the second version. Mirrors are the best weapons for bouncing spells back to enemies. Leona can cast Mirror 1 but it only works on her. Try and save the Mirror items for Homncruise just like the Moondrops and Broknmoons since they restore magic. Mirror 2/3 is the same as barrier which lowers the damage of each elemental attack. Some armors and masks protect against certain attacks and lower the damage as well. Glitches: Money glitch- Theres alot of controversy as to how this code works and how to get it to work. One thing I do know is it involves having the Kusteras go to Decates and talk to the person beside uncle save who says do you want me to remove the guards for 1000g. I've done as much as I can to figure out how this works. I honestly believe it involves talking to the minimal amount of people with Aquatillons and talking to no one with the kusteras. Once you use them go straight to decates and remove the guards. I think the more battles you fight the less gold you get but mind you that you need 1000g to remove them at least. When you check your gold the kusteras will have say 89993221 gold but not the aquatillons. Trust me it works and other people have had it work for them. Just follow the guidelines above and only talk to who you need to with aquatillons to get the hole dug to decates so you can enter as kustera. Note from Mew : Maybe it has something to do with the amoung of money the Kusteras have? Unlimited use of level 1 spells with no magic : to do this glitch you need to have less then the required amount of magic needed for the spell. Select the magic menu and hold left and then press "A" to which spell you want to cast and keep holding left. The spell should work wether you are in battle or not and your magic will turn into 600/600 or a weird number. You will not be able to cast any other spells under level 1 until you refil your magic at an inn or temple star. After using the glitch and making the MP go to 550 or whatever you can select Auto in battle and your characters will use Heal 2 and 3 and Life 2 and 3 when they have them. When in auto mode, they always use the strongest level magic. SPELLS!!!!!!!!

Note from Mew : maybe explosion doesn't have an element. Unity spells- These can only be casted once you become Aquatillon by defeating each temple for each power. ie: Ray fire temple boss. Tina water temple. once all 4 have become this status simple pick the spell corresponding the attack. If you have a weapon which does an attack you must pick attack then level 1 and when you get to the confirm menu there will be a new thing called combine. Now press "A" to the people involved. example: fire sword (Ray casts level 1 fire and Cody equiped the sword and you select attack). Now pick combine then highlight Cody then Ray and select ok. You will perform Burn blade. The strongest spell in the game is Devistate which is level 3 Fire/Storm/Freeze/Bolt and does 300 damage to a group. Ice fire Fire lv.1, Freeze lv.1 Ice storm Freeze lv.2, Storm lv.2 Bolt storm Storm lv.2 Bolt lv.2 Fire blade Fireswrd, Fire lv.1 Freeze slash Iceswrd, Freeze lv.1 Bolt break Boltswrd, Bolt lv.1 Devistate Fire lv.3, Freeze lv.3, Storm lv.3, Bolt lv.3 Fire storm Fire lv.1, Storm lv.1 Cure All Cure-A lv.3, Cure-B lv.3 Twin less Antpwr lv.1, Antspl lv.1 No call Repel lv.1, Step lv.1 (prevents monsters from calling for help) Weapon/armor list Clothsuit+4 Knife+8 Normalhat+2 Shoes+4 Dagger+10 Shortsword+12 Lethsuit+8 Clothrobe+2 Hardsuit+10 (poison) Steelcane+11 Lethshoes+7 Midsword+14 Holycane+15 (sharp hit) (good vs ghosts) Hammer+17 Longsword+16 Woodshoes+9 Derby+4 Chainmail+12 Mittens+4 Scratcher+5 (cures stop when used as item) Furcoat+14 (ice) Lioncloth+25 (fire) Angelhat+6 Letharmor+22 Armor+20 Longboots+11 Blade+16 (crt%) Spear+18 Vulcangun+19 Cowboyhat+8 Powercane+20 Quickrobe +27 +4 sp Ironarmor+28 Handaxe+20 Riotgun+21 Yoyo+9 Gloves+10 (Andy's gloves, needed to beat him) Speedshoes+12 +4 sp Wildclaw +18 Warhammer+23 gasmask +15 (poison/gas) Sneakers+9 Jumpsuit+30 Battleaxe+28 Broadsword+22 Musyasuit+31 Warhelmet+13 Ninjasword+18 Dragsword+38 Brknsword+19 (hit%) Steelspr+26 Ninjastar+28 +4sp Discarmor(weapon yoyo) +20 (casts fast 1 and rapid attack) Crown +9 +4lu Angelhat +6 +8lu Eaglearmor +40 +8sp Sneakers +13 Ironhelm +20 Greatsword +35 (crt%) Magrobe +35 Lifevest +30 (poison/fire) Ironsuit +36 Greatspear +46 -15sp (1 sharp, hit%) Dress +33 Firearmor +47 (fire) Redhood +17 + 14lu Bunnysuit +31 +8lu +2sp Pumps +14 Heels +16 Swimsuit +42 +2sp (snow storm) Idoldress +34 Icearmor +53 (ice) Shortbow +15 (crt%) Longbow +20 (crt%) Elfinbow +37 (crt%? works great on seasnake and dragon, and does rapid attack!

Also, could you doublecheck the Crown? I think it also protects against some statut ailments. Monster encounter/drop item list *this is when you fight a monster they randomly drop an item after battle. When you collect your exp and gold you will sometimes see ** dropped *** Again there is no right way to increase the odds of doing this except fighting the same monsters over and over and over until this happens. Some items can be found in chests throughout the game where as there's 3 or more which must be found: Aged Sword, Space Blade, Space Suit. You can also get item drops with mixed monsters in groups so dont just think the whole bunch must be the monster you are after because its nearly impossible to fight some monsters solely by themselves such as Whytes. There is a way to increase the odds though by using save/state loading by fighting around the same area. I dont know exactly how to perfect it though but instead of 3 hours of fighting it might make it 20 minutes instead. Anyhow here's what we've all gathered 1 Val Eagle & 1 Mad Bird- Telpo Eyeball- Antistop Seadragon-Telpo Hedgehog- Normal Hat Slime- Plum Plum Slime- Plum Plum Bat- Clothrobe Badslime-Antidote Catboo- Plum Plum Pigman- Knife Quill-Plum Plum goblin-Lethsuit Bone-Derby Spider-Antidote Bandits-Furcoat Val Eagle- Telpo Armor-Armor Rock Scorpion- Asprin Mantrap- Antidote Echocat-Steelcane Holobird- Shortsword Badbunny- Rattail Icebears- Mittens Catking- Moondrop Badmen- Dagger Ghost-Lethshoes Rockbird-Magbranch Pumpking-Magbranch Seadragon-Telpo Spyeye-Redhood Tenticles-Restore Talanchula - Asprin Spector- Antistop Gasdragon- Antidote Wolf : Mid Sword Mad Bird- Telpo Bohr- Hand Axe Bigworm- Holycane Guardian - Moondrop New moon- Musyasuit Ice Dragon : Ice Armor Fire Dragon : Fire Armor Vegilisk : Shortbow Scorpion : Aspirin Roper-Rose Shoes Servent- Moondrop Moth- Crown Falcon- Life Vest Rock: Quick Robe Ghost (skeleton)-Magrobe Warrior-Quickrobe Bullhead- Icesword Pilder-Boltsword Ochu-Asprin Dragoon - Agedsword Al Beta- Moondrop King Bull- Dragonsword Zeratin- Musyahat Boltfish- Elfinbow Bladefish- Discarmor Trool-Curecane Vampire: Antistop Gust: Antistop Warrior: Quickrobe Pirate Ghost: Magrobe Summoner: Restore/Broknmoon Gold Mo: Ironsuit Falcon: Lifevest Spy Eye: Redhood Ochu: Aspirin Roper: Roseshoes Golbird: Eaglearmor Morpho: Antidote Soursires- Firecane Iron Ox- Ninja Sword Arch Bull- Space Blade Oga- Space Suit Robot B (purple legs)- Wind Shoes Gardula - Bolt Cane Note from Mew : the list isn't 100% completed. I'm quite sure that someone dropped Mirrors. it also need to be sorted. MONSTER ATTACK LIST Bad Bunny - Freeze 1, jump Spider- poison Killerbug- poison Bad Slime- poison Zombi- stop King Cat- blows fire, life 3, help pumpking Leech- poison, bolt (w/bingo), Coma 1, Fire 1, Heal Firefly- blow fire Dragon- blow fire Sidon- Coma 1, bolt, blow fire *USE MUTE AGAINST HIM* Gasdragon- poison, blows gas, Coma 2 Armor- Fast 2, Fire 2 Seasnake- poison Pumpking x 2- blow fire Trap - ill Zombie - ill Mantrap - poison Talanchula- poison Catboo- gas, Daze 1, Fire 1 Veglisk- stop Scorpion- ill Spector - Fire 2, Freeze 2 Golbird- stop Summoner- Fire 2, Bolt 1, Vanish, calls Gust Galuda- Storm 1, Storm 2, Bolt 2 Crawler- blows fire Gold Mo- bolt Spy Eye- blows fire Badbad- calls for badmen, jump Tenticle-rapid attack Dragoon- blows fire Aquatillons Ray: Uses fire and some healing spells and is the only person who can wear the metal sword. (the best person to equip a strong weapon with and best armor) *Note Ray is about 4th fastest of the bunch *You begin the game with him Tina: Uses freeze and healing spells but can't wear any good weapons other then wands. (another wand lover who wears dresses) *Note shes about 3rd fastest of the bunch *Found in Beegees in church temple with badmen and the priest Cody: Uses storm and power spells and can wear good armor and high level weapons(king of the spear and can wear pretty much the same as Ray) *Note he's the 2nd fastest of the bunch. *Found behind door after defeating Garados. Leona: Uses bolt spells and mirror spells. Can wear decent armors and elementals swords. (uses claws and yo yo like weapons and some sword and wears dresses and some armor) *Note she's also the fastest of the bunch* *Found in rich part of decates in bed of house with man who hears noises Dan: Probably the weakest of the bunch but can cast bomb 3 and regain 3. He can't use many weapons and only minimal armor. (can only wear wands and weird things like jumpsuits and robes) *note hes the slowest! *Found in the well of Brasca ***note all of the above can wear the metal armor which is the best class in the game at the end*** Note from Mew : Dan is the mage of the group. Sometime, I use a Bolt Sword as an item with him. Kusteras David: Uses most weapons and armor, no magic (found in Likado and joins once Ray talks to him and enters Red Fountin cave to become Pennon) A fighter who is the leader of the kusteras except he's not the best as some others. Ryu: Uses alot of weapons and armor ninja/dragon related and can cast Heal/Bolt/Vanish up to level 2 (Found in Beegees and is in dog form, Recover the Dogpill and then talk to him) Another well rounded fighter who can also heal and use bolt. He can equip the Royal Sword. Ben: Uses same spells as Tina and can use a great hammer. Freeze 3 master. (Found in the semirich pub in decates. talk to his wife (poor area) then go to the pub to talk to him) Overall theres nothing wrong with Ben except he's average at everything. He can hit, heal and attack with magic. Shark: Same as David (Found west and south of Bonzley and will join once you have Dan in your group) Nothing outstanding and hes rather slow but has a decent attack. Jubei : Same as David yet posses a lot of power and can use a spear really well. (Found in Osaka and will join once you ask the mayor of Edon a favour and then beating Jubei in a fight) Probably the best frontman for a battle and the one who will kill in few hits. Can equip the Royal Sword. Andy: Uses natural abilities and can only fight with his fists and wear Life Vest as his best armor. He is one of the best fighters who naturally builds his power and defence without equipment. (Found in box town and will join once you beat him with boxing gloves and talk to his other brothers) Arthur: Casts storm and fire and coma spells (Found in sleepers town and will join once you beat him and Andy and ask his other brother in Karrapon to join) Uses the lower end of attacking magic but can be usefull in some situations. Murray: casts freeze and bolt and mirror spells (Found in moreeyes and will join once you defeat Undead the pirate and recover the gold moi as well as becoming Aquatillon status by defeating all the elemental temple bosses) One of the best magic attackers and he has Mirror. Evelyn: Uses claws and has natural defence but can wear idol dress/swim suit. (Found in elekees and will join once you talk to her) Has a pretty good defencive rating and fits in the middle of a group. Kathy: uses bows and has natural defence but can wear idol dress/swim suit (Found in Amaboss and will join once you accept the challenge to defeat Gara in the town) Has high luck and speed but is more a rear attacker. Note from Mew : if you ask me, she murders the monsters with the Elfin Bow! Beth: casts healing spells and regain one of the best healers in the game. (Same cituation for Kathy) Probably the best healer in the game hands down. Honestly when picking your group remember you will need someone to attack, someone to heal, and someone to cast magic to attack and get you places. Having a group of all attackers or all magic users isn't wise because they lack versatibility. Attackers lack magic and healing and magic users lack defence and take a beating. So pick and choose which group suits your needs and where your fighting near. In my opinion this group has everything to offer: Jubei, Ryu, Ben, Murray, Beth Jubei- has a high attack and defence and isn't limited to weapons Ryu- pretty much the same as Jubei except lower power but has healing and bolt Ben- Can do some damage and can heal and cast freeze spells which hit all monsters Murray- Can cast bolt and freeze which are valuable spells for killing groups Beth- Has heal, cure, and regain and is like having Tina/Dan in one. Honestly you can't go wrong with this group! Note from Mew :if you want to have an all out physical attack team, pick among those : Jubei, Ryu, Kathy, Shark, David, Andy and maybe Ben if you want an healer ot Evelyn if she has the Best Claw. ITEMS Bread- Heals 20-30HP Meatball- heals 20-30 hp Plum plum- heals 30-40HP Antidote- Cure poison status (skull) Asprin- Cures Illness status (cross) Calmherb- cures mute and daze Magicleaf- repels monsters from encounters Magbranch- warps you to old hill Rat tail- exits you from a dungeon or cave Restore- revives a dead party member in battle 100% chance but with little hps left Mirror- casts mirror 1 spell and reflects elemental magic Barrier- casts mirror 2 and decreases magical attack Telpo- teleports you to a previously visited main town Broknmoon- heals some MP and can be used again till it breaks (roughly 10 times) Moondrop- heals some mp Plum water- heals every party member full hp Antistop- cures stop paralysis Note from Mew : I have a theory for the Broknmoon. Maybe it work like items in Shining Force i.e. each time you used them, they may break. In that case, just save before using a Broknmoon. Items from nurse jill at old hill AntidoteII- same as antidote yet less expensive AsprinII- same as asprin yet less expensive AntiStopII- same as stop yet less expensive RestoreII- same as restore yet less expensive Panacea-cures illness, stop and poison Items from dynamite at old hill Plum Plum- heals 20-40 hp Heal 1 Super Plum plum- Heal 3 Vitaplum- Regain 3 Rare hard to find items BrknMoon- Restores 15-30 mp (will break after 10-30 uses) (found in dressers/chests/and monster drop) PlumWater- regain 1 when used in battle (is reusable and doesn't break!)

CURE B LEVEL 2 CURES THIS OR WAIT A FEW ROUNDS UNTIL YOU AWAKEN Unconsious- This is basically a dead state where you must use life/restore in order to bring them back into battle. If you leave the battle or defeat the monsters you regain consiousness but with 1 hp. RESTORE 1 & 2 CURE THIS OR LIFE Levels 1-3 Stop- This is when you become paralyzed and can't do anything which is basically like unconsiousness although you don't lose hps. Antistop 1 or 2 or PANACEA cures this or CURE B LEVEL 1 Vanish- This is when you instantly become dead from this spell. same effect as unconsious.
