[01e01] Useless Endeavors

At returning to the castle, a message appears "Three months after defeating Kwanda Rosman's army..." and you have the ability to go exploring or whatever. (You can now recruit the Pirates, but it is recommended that you SAVE before you do.)

On the third floor, Flik is asking about Odessa. Mathiu asks if he's permitted to tell Flik:

Flik angrily leaves and Mathiu lets you leave to follow. Viktor comes with you to Kaku. The house West of teh stairs is where he is. When he asks if you will join him, you are given a choice:

You can now go back to the castle. In the War Room (where Mathiu hangs out), Flik says you should attack Garan [05a16]. You are given a choice:

*!* SAVE

You go into Strategy Battle: Fortress of Garan: Enemy: 6,000 vs. Tir +4,000 [03f]. As soon as this battle ends, you do not get a chance to save before going to the next Strategy Battle: Scarletica Castle 1: Milich: 12,000 vs. Tir (troops left over from Garan) [03f]. Unfortunately, the second battle is un-winnable, as Milich will use his "Poison Pollen" attack. Mathiu will immediately call a withdrawal (there seems to be no defense for this).

Back at the fortress of Garan, Mathiu will have you form a scout group, which Flik and Viktor will immediately join. Gremio asks to go, but Viktor tells him no. You are given a choice:

At this time, you have the opportunity to acquire a device called the 'Blinking Mirror", which allows you to return to your castle from the World Map. To find it, go through all treasure chests you find, even in towns with no attacks, and talk to anyone out of the ordinary. A woman named Hellion will be guarding teh chest for it, but will not fight you.

If you go to recruit the Pirates at the Pirate Fortress [05b19], you should SAVE first.

*!* SAVE

You will need Tai Ho and Yam Koo in your party. Once inside, you will talk with them and be given a choice:

If you choose to fight them, you will be in a Boss Battle with Anji, Leonardo, and Kanak [03c].

After recruiting, shopping, etc. You will need to sail Southwards until you hit a whirlpool (rapids). Touch them with the boat to get your people to say that they cannot cross them, then go back to Teien (yes, you can Blinking Mirror from the ship to the castle, then Teleport back. Your boat will be at the next town with a dock, no matter where you left it.)

In Teien [05a18], go to the Northwest house to speak with Gen. He'll ask you what you want and you get a choice:

At the East house, Gen will get a man named Kamandol to come out to help. They will load you down with an engine and have you walk to Rikon [05a19] (which I believe you can actually Teleport to, with the engine). There, Gen and Kamandol will work on the boat while you are expected to go sleep in the Inn. Gremio will come in to talk to Tir's sleeping form in the night.

When morning comes, you should elave the Inn, triggering an automatic conversation with Gen and Kamandol. Then you can enter the boat and sail Southwards to the rapids, again. You can cross them now with this new boat.

When you reach the Hermitage [05a21], you can collect the stuff inside the treasure chest in the hosue before or after you talk with Luikan. When you do talk with Luikan, Milich Oppenheimer will suddenly come and kidnap him. You should return to the Castle and talk to Mathiu.

[01e02] Deep Under Cover

Mathiu will tell you to bring a letter to Kimberly so you may Recruit her, and Tesla, in Antei (Bier Blanche) [05a20]. Kimberly's house will be Northeast of the Inn. Once you give her the letter, she'll only join if Flik goes on a date with her. After the date, she instructs you to go to the house Northwest of hers to talk to Albert, who is Tesla in disguise. He will try to refuse, but will eventually be tricked into revealing himself, then join.

Go back to Mathiu, who gives you some Fake Orders to go into Soniere Prison.

*!* SAVE

(You may wish to remove any Runes from Gremio before going to the prison, but that is your choice. Do NOT give Gremio the Blinking Mirror, or you may lose it. Also, do not give Pahn or Viktor the Blinking Mirror, ever, or you may lose it. Best to hold the Blinking Mirror yourself at all times.)

Soniere Prison [05b21] is a fairly straight-forward hallway, with a Journeyman Crystal on the first floor, but no Healing Centers. To get through the First Floor door to the lower levels, you will need to flip the lever. Once someone walks through the door, the lever can only be flipped after coming back through the door. This is important for future note. On the bottom floor, in one of the cells, is Luikan. Before picking him up, you may wish to go back, heal, and:

*!* SAVE

Open the cell and let Luikan out. He will follow you back up through the prison. Before entering the room with the lever, make sure that you either remove anything Gremio is carrying, or do not care about what he is holding/ wearing. This is important!

Once you enter the lever room, Milich will show up and throw some poisonous spores at you. Germio will shove you all back into the prison and close the door, getting stuck on the otherside because that's the only way the lever room works. You will be given a choice:

Gremio disobeys, and dies [06b06]. You will now be able to use Black Shadow from your Soul Eater room, and Mathiu will coem rescue you. Viktor runs back into the room to get something, but doesn't say what it is.

*!* SAVE

[01e03] House of Roses

Outside of Soniere Prison, Mathiu advises another attack on Scarletica, as Luikan can now cure the poison. You are given a choice:

You are put into Strategy Battle: Scarletica Castle 2: Milich 12,000 vs. Tir (whatever you had) = 6,000 to 7,000 [03f]. Milich has a special magic attack called "Milich's Attack", but it acts like a normal magic attack.

Once you've won the battle, you will be in front of Scarletica Castle [05b22]. Viktor and Flik are still automatically in your group, and you are given a choice of the three others you wish to join you. Make sure Pahn is fully healed and at a high level before starting, whether using him or not.

*!* SAVE

Inside the castle, there will be a room with a portrait of Milich in it. If you talk to it, you will be given a choice:

Do not enter the balcony yet!

*!* SAVE

Once you're prepared, enter the balcony and Mathiu will tell you to burn the flowers. Milich will show up and get upset. You'll have a 'conversation', his Black Rune will melt, and Flik will ask you what you want to do with him:

If he's still alive, Milich will ask to join the Rebels, and you will be given a choice:

Stallion runs over to warn you that the Imperial Army is attacking your castle.
