THE RUSTY SWORD
  • After you fall down the waterfall, you land in a strange lake. Go down a bit, you should see a sword buried in a stone. Go on the other side of the stream. Randi realizes that he needs something to cut through the bushes. Get the rusty sword.
  • Now, you must learn how to use the sword. You'll find some rabites in the Forest Off Limits. They're very easy to kill.
  • Talk to everyone in Potos. It seems thatt he village is being attacked by the monsters. Talk to the elder in front of his house. He tells you that your sword is the legendary Mana Sword. Villagers realize that you are the fault of village's trouble. Sudenly, the earthquake comes, and the first boss attacks.
  • It's easy to kill becouse you just can't die!! If your HP is at 0, strange man will revive you. When you beat Mantis Ant, he will pull you up. He tells you a bit more about your sword. It must be re-energized, and only you are able to do it.The trouble begins.
  • The elder banishes you from the village Go to the Water Palace, like Jema told you. If you wish to use Cannon TRavel (on the right of the village, right after you exit it) , you can fly to the Water Palace for free. If you want to walk, find Neko's place, to the west. You can't enter Pandora (to the south) yet. Talk to the soldiers near the Palace. Then, enter it.
  • Jema's waiting for you in front of the Water Palace. Go to the stage room, you'll meet Luka (isn't Square obsessed with this name? ). She's a 200 yearls ols sage who guards the Water Mana Seeds. Listen to everything she says very carefully. You find out about the Empire and its plans, the legendary Fortress, dwarfs in Gaia's Naivel, trouble in Pandora, etc. You'll seal the Mana Seed of Water (go to the status window, you'll notice that you have 1 Mana Power ) , and get another weapon, the Spear. When you leave the Palace and try to reach cannon Travel or Pandora, you'll probobly get captured by the goblins. A blonde girl shall save you.

    NEW ALLIES
  • Now, you should go to Gaia's Naivel. There are many things you can do. They're listed below:
  • If you want a new party member, go to Pandora's Castle. You'll find the girl who rescued you from the goblins. She's looking for her boyfriend, Dyluck, and wants you to help her. Her name is Purim. If you let her join you (you don't really have a choice ) , you'll get a new party member, and a new weapon (gloves). If you go to Gaia's Naivel with Purim, she'll abandon you.
    1. Get Purim in Pandora, abandon her in Gaia's Naivel. You'll get Popoie (look below). Then go to the haunted forest, and kill 2 werewolves to get Purim in your team (again).
    2. Don't get Purim in Pandora (just leave the castle alone), get Popoie in Gaia's Naivel, then go back to Pandora for Purim
    3. Get Purim in Pandora, don't enter Gaia's Naivel , go to the Haunted Forest instead. You'll find 2 statues blocking your way. You can't get rid of them without an axe. Now, you can come back to Gaia's Naivel, and Purim won't leave you alone
    4. Get Popoie in Gaia's Naivel, and go to the Haunted Forest for Purim (you'll have to fight the werewolves).
    5. Don't get anyone, and go to the Hanuted Forest. You'll have to fight the werewolves by yourself :( They can be a pain. If you manage how to beat them, Purim will join you. Then , come back to Gaia's Naivel for Popoie.
  • Gaia's Naivel is your first serious dungeon. Kid-goblins and blats are easy to kill. Drops can be tough, but they give you a lot of exp and gold. The cave isn't long. It has a "secret" (not really) room with the Magic Rope guarded by 2 goblins. To get through the cave.
    1. You begin in the cave with 2 blats. Get out of there, go north (like you have a choice.) . You'll find the stairs leading deeper into Gaia's Naivel.
    2. Another room is filled with lava. Ge left, fight goblins in the corridor, and activate the switch skull ( strike it with your sword) . Go back. Lava is gone
    3. Go down. To get the Magic Rope, go left and enter the room with 2 goblins guarding a chest. Magic Rope is inside.
    4. Time to go even deeper. Next room is filled with water. Follow a small path that leads south. If you go east, you'll find nothing but trouble. Kill some goblins on your way, and you'll find yourself on the other side of the lake. Stones blocking your way can be removed ( the Axe ). Hit the switch skull, then go downstairs. You've found the Dwarf Village!
  • Talk to the dwarfs, sleep in the inn, buy some armor. See the Sprite's show (then go behind the stage to get your money back), see Watts. Make sure you've saved your games, becouse Tropicallo, your first serious enemy boss attacks!
  • It's easy to beat, especially if you have Purim in your party. Charge your sword to lv.1, and slash it! It'll die very fast. Popoie will join you after the battle. You'll also get 3 new weapons - Boomerang, Bow and arrows, and an Axe. Learn how to use them, then get Purim (if you haven't already ) in Pandora's castle. Then, go to the Haunted Forest.
  • Haunted Forest is pretty long. You should find Neko att he beginning. Go right, then go downstairs. Kill Eye-Spy , then activate the teleporter. Go back, get rid of the statues ( hit them with the Axe ), and continue your journey.
  • Elinee's castle is HARD!. Very good armor is a must. Werewolves will kick your a$$ many times. Find Neko in the prison, and buy everything - 4 Cups if Wishes, Chocolates, Candys, even Royal Jams. You'll figh the hardest (?) boss of the game.
  • After a while , you'll reach Elinee, the witch. She doesn't like kids, does she? Here, you hear about mysterious Thanatos in the ruins south of Pandora. Then, Spikey Tiger attacks! Dude can be very tough. You need 2 characters alive all the time. When Spikey engulfs you with his spells, switch players (select), and use Medical Herb on the engulfed character. Bow is very useful against this boss. Charing weapons doesn't really make sense. There's no strategy that'll make Spikey easy. He's always gonna be tough.
  • When you defeat him, Elinee turns to a normal elderly lady with ni magic powerf left. Sge gives you another Mana weapon, the Whip. Save your game, then exit the castle. Nice scene takes place, and Luka calls you to the Water Palace.

    MAGIC
  • You're told to go to Undine's cave, behind the Water Palace. It shouldn't be too much trouble. The boss is really easy. Move away from him - you must be far enough to avoid his attacks, and close enough to be able to hit him with your whip. Just continue hitting him every time your whip reaches 100%. He'll use Cure Water 3 times.
  • You meet Undine, the Water Elemental of Mana. She gives her magic powers to Popie and Purim. Popie can use Freeze, Acid Storm and Energy Absorb. Purim can use Cure Water, Remedy and Ice Saber. Raise your magic to lv. 1 (just keep casting a spell to raise a level ), and head for the Underground Palace.
  • More trouble. The Palace is short, but it's full of very nasty enemies. Don't waste your time trying to kill them. In the middle of the palace, you'll find a gap. You'll have to use your whip to cross it. Fight your way to the stage room.
  • Gnome won't let you in. Suddenly Fire Gigas attacks! If you have Undine's battle magic on level 1, he's a whimp. Just keep casting Freeze on him, and heal with Cure Water when he changes to fire balls. After the battle, Gnome gives you his magic powers. Raise Gnome's level, and head for Pandora's ruins.
  • There's a blue-haired girl walking around near the ruins. Talk to her. When she disappears, "check the ruins down there". There are many spooky enemies inside. But they CAN be killed. I hate that place, you keep getting poisened, slow down, etc. The ruins aren't really a dungeon, they're just a loong corridor full of monsters. After a long while, you'll reach Thanatos.
  • He's EVIL! After the scene, you'll encounter Wall Face. If you have Earth Slide at lv.2, use it 3 times on the middlen eye, and you'll kill it!! Really easy
  • Happiness returns to Pandora! Go to the castle, and talk with the king. He'll open his secret treasure room for you. Some energy orbs, and money. Grab the treasures, and go back to the Water Palace. Water seed's been stolen!!!
  • Use Watt's shortcut to get to the Dwarf Village. Talk to Jema, and enter the hole. You find yourself in the Underground Ship, with some idiots who got the Water seed! They plan to conquer the world using their robot, Kilroy. You'll have to fight him (du-uh). Earth Slide works well, but weapons even better. He can moogle you, so be ready with Medical Herbs. It'll be easy to kill anyway.
  • Bring the Water Seed to Luka's place. Get yourself a Fearie Walnut before you enter the Palace. Monsters in the Palace give you a lot of exp and gold, so hang around there for a while to gain some levels. You'll meet Geshtar, from the Empire, in the stage room. Oh-oh, trouble! Doesn't mater if you run away from Geshtar or give him the seed. You'll fight Jaberwocky anyway. His attacks can be painful. Use Cure Water often, and keep casting Earth Slide on him. He'll eventually die.
  • Now, you can finally get out of this place! Talk to Jema and Luca, recover the seal on the seed, and talk to the Cannon Man near Potos. He'll take you to the Upper Land forests!

    THE GREAT FOREST
  • You land in a strange forest, full of moogles. Popoie loses his memory (again?!). If you go south, you'll find Neko. Upper Land consists of 4 seasons - Winter (where the moogles are ), Spring (where Neko is ), Summer (near the Cannon Travel Center) and Fall (where the owls are ). Go to the Summer, and enter the Moogle Village (west of the entrance to the Fall ) . There are 3 Pebblers inside. Defeat them, then try to leave. Moogles are back! Save your game, and "walk the seasons from Spring to Winter"!
  • Simply, walk from Spring, through Summer, Fall and Winter (DON'T turn back ). When you get to Spring , the gate to the Wind Palace will open.
  • Popie's village has been abandoned, and you have to fight Spring Beak. 3 Earth Slides will finish him! After the battle, you can enter the Palace. You'll hear a sad story, and receive Sylphid's magics.
  • On the west of the Spring, there's a crystal orb. Cast Air-Blast on the crystal to get rid of it. Now, THIS is the GREAT forest. It's really huge. Brace yourself, and try to reach Matango, the mushroom kingdom!
  • These mushrooms are friendly to you, so talk to them. Watts is inside, so you can reforge your weapons. Talk to the king. He tells you something about a white dragon on the east of the Fung Castle. You also get a new energy orb.
  • Okay, here's what you do in the cave:
    1. Before you enter the White Cave, you'll have to pass a large rooms with Steam Crabs etc. It's a great place to raise Sylphid's magic (it should be on lv.3 by now). You can also get some Fearie Walnuts over there!
    2. The cave is filled with KImono Birds, Pebblers, and Nemesis Owls. They all fear Gnome, so Earth Slide will be extremely usefull (as usual). Soon, you'll have to cross a gap using your whip.
    3. Go downstairs. Cross another gap, and go downstairs
    4. Go to the left (if you go to the right , music will change to Matango music , but you'll find nothing ).
    5. You're on a loong track full of monsters. When you find large rocks blocking your way, go upstairs and find the Crystal Orb. Earth Slide will trigger it. The rocks are gone.
    6. Go deeper into the cave, and you'll find the Great Viper. Use Thunderbolt ( see? told you you should have it on lv.3), and you'll kill it rather quickly. Find the White Dragon. Her parents were beaten by the viper. Poor baby can't even fly!
  • Truffle wants to take care of Flammie until she grows stronger. He also tells you that Cannon Travel in the Great Forest is reopened. Well?

    FIRE AND ICE

     Now, you can either go to Kakkara desert, or the Ice Country. I suggest going to Kakkara first.
  • NN?!? Now what? Where are you? I guess the Cannon Man had a bad day. You better find a town fast! Finding anything in the desert is really boring. You never know where to go. If you're lucky, you'll find the Sandship!!!
  • You end up as a slave in the engine room. No way out. Talk to Sergo the pirate two times, he'll help you run away. Now, you must find the rest of your allies. Popoie's eaten all the food, so they'll be glad to have him out of there! The soldier on the top of the ship can save your game. To find a girl, you must find a "hidden" door. It's in the southern part of the ship.
  • You got your party back, but the Empire attacks!!! You'll have to face Geshtar again. Mech Rider can be easily defeated with weapons (Sword on lv.3 ) or magic (Earth Slide, Thunderbolt). The ship is destroyed, but the Empire runs away.
  • Talk to one of the soldiers, and tell him you want to leave. Go north to Kakkara village. Save your game, buy new armor, etc. Then use Cannon Travel to get to the Ice Country (going to the Fire Palace now is no use. You'll need Salamando's magic ).
  • You WILL need a GOOD armor. Enemies in the Crystal Forest are very tough (for your level. ), but they also give you good stuff. In the middle of the forest, you'll find Santa's hut, but it's deserted. Only the Spear Orb is inside. At the end of the Crystal Forest, you'll have to fight Boreal Face.
  • This boss is tough. No magic will efect him, his attacks are very dangerous, and it's hard to hit. If you're desperate to use magic, Thunderbolt on lv.3 will do 80-90HP damage. Charging your sword is the best way to defeat him. And remember to cure very often. Do watch out for his 20MP, he can cast Burst lv.4 on your entire party , 2 times in a row.
  • You're in the "Hidden Paradise"!! But what's with this music? The Scorpion Army again. Talk to the "boy" near the bucket in the middle of the village. Then, release Salamando! He's cool, isn't he? Now you can use the power of FIRE!
  • Now, I suggest going back to Todo, and raisng Salamando's magic to lv.3 (Ok, it's a MUST ). Then, head for the Ice Palace.
  • North of the Hidden Paradise you'll find the Frosty Forest. Neko's on the left ( SAVE! ), Ice Palace's on the right.
  • Ice Palace (cool music ) - Not a dungeon, but indeed, a tough place full of tough enemies. When you get to the crossroad, you can go right for an energy orb. Don't try to kill the enemies in the magic library, their magic attacks are horrible! Run for your life, until you get to the first enemy boss.
  • I wouldn't use magic on them (you'll need it later). just charge your sword on lv.4 for BIG damage. Try not to wake the thrird monster if you didn't kill the first ones yet.
  • Now, fight your way to the Frost Gigas. His magic is very strong, but so is yours. Keep casting Fireball on him, and he'll be doomed! =P After you defeat him, you got the Fire Seed back (finally). Now, head for Kakkara and the Fire Palace!
  • Now, you'll need Undine's magic on lv.3. K, the directions are right here!
    1. Cast Exploder on the crystal. Go upstairs.cast Fire Ball on another crystal.
    2. Go upstairs (again?) . Then go down (kill everything that moves, except your allies) and Go upstairs!
    3. Keep going, until you can go downstairs. Trigger the switch. This place is familiar to you, isn`t it? Go downstairs, use your bow to cross the gap.
    4. Cast Freeze on the crystal. Trigger the switch. Only two lamps are on fire, right? Try to go between them. you have to face minotaur!
  • His magic is very strong (lv.7 ), but he doesn't have too much HPs. Thunderbolt will come in handy in this battle! Whatever you do, try to stay away from him, or he'll knock you down. You've finally put the Fire Seeds back where it belongs.Return to Kakkara.

    "THE EMPIRE"
  • Kakkra's Cannon Travel can now take you to the Empire! You land in the Empire's southtown. Don't buy any new armor yet (wait 'til you get to Northtown ). Talk to Mara, old fat lady who looks really weird. She'll give you the password to the sewers leading to Northtown.
  • Northtown is the capital of the Empire, city full of your enemys. You also meet the resistance, led by Krissie. She tells you about the situation in the town, and about the ruins to the north. Could Thanatos be involved? Buy GOOD armor, and check out the ruins.
  • VERY VERY tough. Once again, great armor is a must. I wouldn't waste time and HP by trying to kill the monsters. They're awfully tough. The ruins are long, but not very complicated. If you're lucky, you'll get to Doom Wall (looks familiar). Defeat it in the same way you defeat the last one. Earth Slide. Then, enjoy the scene.
  • Another enemy boss, Vampire, attacks. He won't be THAT easy. His attacks can be a pain, and he's got 2500 HP Earth Slide will work very well here (again. This spell just rukes) .Use Cure water very often. After you defeat him, the monsters, Thanatos and Dyluck are gone.
  • Go back to Northtown, and go to the Resistance Base. Krissie say that the emperor wants peace! Could it be true?? Follow Krissie to the Palace (it's on the north ). And you're trapped! Talk to the imperial soldier to get out of the cell. You'll have to fight Metal Mantis.
  • It uses no magic, but its beams are nasty. The can frost you, engulf you, poison you, etc. But it doesn't have too much HPs. Earth Slide and Thunderbolt will work nice. After the battle, you'll have to find your way to the Emperor (again). Monsters aren't so hard (Embermen give you hell of EVERYTHING - exp, gp, gold, etc. keep killing them for 30 minutes, and you'll gain about 10 levels and 50000GP! ) Remember to visit the right wing of the castle to get some energy orbs. Then, enter the main part of the building. When you have a choice to go left or right, go left (if you go right, you'll get to the living room, but nobody's there). You'll reach the room with many switches on the floor. Use the right switch, it'll take you on the left =P . Just before the next switch on the floor, there's a small (hardly visible ) switch on the wall. Activate it, and the floor switch will let you pass!
  • You'll find the Emperor, Fanha, Sheex and Geshtar in the next room. Geshtar will ask the Emperor for "one more chance". Another Mech Rider attacks. Nothing has changed. Weapons and magic will work very well. After you destroy him, Geshtar is about to burn the whole place. But Truffle saves the day!!!

    "FLIGHT BOUND FOR THE UNKNOWN!"

     Now, you can use Flammie!!!! He can travel all over the world very quickly, and he can take you wherever you want.
  • Take Truffle back to Matango, he'll tell you about the Palace of Darkness in the Lofty Moutnains. Mandala is a very old village. There's nothing interesting in the temple to the north (you can explore the videos inside, they have recorder some events from the Mana Fortress war ). If you go down the mountain , you'll find the Palace of Darkness. Let me guide you through.
    1. Go right
    2. Break the spikes on the right
    3. Go down, left and up, you find a switch, activate it.
    4. Go down for another switch. Now there's no barrier at the beginning.Don't go back there yet.
    5. Go downstairs, enter the corridor. It's pretty long and dark! Buu!
    6. Go upstairs, use your whip, press the switch
    7. Come back using Magic Rope. You're at the beginning. Go left, up, cut the spikes on the left, enter the room.
    8. Press all switches and follow the light.
  • The boss is a little tough. It'll use dark magic on you. Its normal attacks are painful as well. But Fireball will finish him. After the battle, Shade will give his powers to Popoie. NEVER use Evil Gate. It really sux, and costs 8MP. Dark Force is pretty good spell though. If you need some money, hang around the mountain, it's a good place to earn GP.
  • Head for the Gold City. They have some GOOD armor over there. In the city itself, you'll find nothing interesting (Watts owns a shop here. There's a guy walking around on the city-wall. Talk to him, he'll tell you about how Tasnican spy stole the key to the Gold Tower. Well, who's the only Tasnican spy we know? Mara! Fly to Southtown and get the key from her, then go back to the tower which really is The Light Palace!
  • Again, good armor needed. Beast Zombies are pretty good for exp ;P But they're tough too. The tower isn't a dungeon or anything, just a tower Soon, you'll have to fight Blue Spikey. No magic and no weapons will really work. The only way to kill him is to keep casting Earth Slide (or Thunderbolt). It won't work too good (80-90 damage), but still, it's the ONLY way to beat him. Save your game, then fight another boss, Gorgon Bull. Beware of his magics! He uses Earth Slide on lv 8:( Kill him using Thunderbolt. After you defeat him, you find Lumina. Purim receives her powers. Lucent Beam works great on undead monsters!
  • Raise your new spells to lv.4 or 5, then go to the Moon Palace. To get inside, you must land on that little green spot near the Sky of Wanders. Karon will take you to the Moon Palace. Very sad and empty place. No boss here,so don't be afraid. All you have to do is to find the crystal orb (man, it's my favorite place in the game, no doubt ). Lumina's magic shall trigger it. You meet Luna, she gives her powers to Popoie & Purim.

    THE LEGEND

  • After you raise Luna's spells (should be fun ), fly to Tasnica Castle. Jema will be waiting for you inside. He tells you about the imperial spy in the castle (like you wouldn't figure that out by talking to the people."where is the spy?"). King is waiting for you in the throne room .But..NN?? Dark Stalker attacks you. It's ver yeasy to defeat. Actually one Lucent Beam will kill it! (watch out though, his attacks are strong. Wouldn't risk attacking him with weapons ). After the battle king is back to normal, and gives you the sword orb! Talk to Jema (important), he tells you that you should see Sage Joch to learn real courage.
  • Go back to Mandala, and climb up the mountain. Enemys should be easy for you now. This time, Sage Joch WILL see you. You must take the test of courage. The cave is really tough. Field enemys cast lv.7 magic!!!!! Run like hell until you reach a room with your shadows. The real test begins now.
  • This battle can be hard, but if you cast Lucid Barrier on yourselves, shadows won't be able to hurt you at all! Randi's shadow is the hardest, and has a lot of HP too. You might want to know that if one of your allies die, their shadow will die too! So a nice way to do this, is to let Randi and Popie die, then kill Purim's shadow. =P If you win the battle, you pass the test. Jek turns out to be Joch, and tells you that you should immediatly fly to the Tree Palace. The hidden continent is about to raise.

    THE LOST CONTINENT

  • As you enter the Palace, you find The Emperor, Sheex and Fanha inside. It turns out that Sheex was the spy in Tasnica. Now, he wants revenge. He can be very tough. If your Shade's magic isn't on a good level, you won't be able to dispel his Wall. Sheex's magic is very strong, his normal attacks are even worse. :( Earth Slide works pretty good, but once again, watch out for his Wall.
  • After the battle, go upstairs. Thanatos has already sealed the Tree seed. Dryad appears and warns you that the hidden continent will rise any minute. Dryad isn't in a good mood, but fortunatly, he joins you.The Lost Continent is rising.
  • Now, you'll have to find your way to the Underground City.
    1. Talk to Jema, then go left and downstairs, to the lake.
    2. Enter the city, and get the boomerang orb in the treasure chest.
    3. Use the axe to cut down the spikes blocking your way. Don't go left, go up. When you're at the top, go left(duh). Fall down the waterfall, and hit the switch (on the left side of the waterfall) with your axe. Water will dispappear. You'll get to another waterfall, hit the switch on the LEFT(the other ones are fake).
    4. Now, you will fight Hydra. Use Exploder a lot, and it will eventually die. After you defeat it, Fanha wants to get her revenge on you, she's really pissed about you killing Sheex and stuff. But Vandole says they have no time for "these kids". They leave.
    5. Another part of the city begins, it's one of the game's toughest moments, Or it is the toughest? Go downstairs, enter the middle door, step on the left escalator and go down(won't work with a barrel).Enter the hidden door on the left side, and press the switch. The barrier downstairs shall disappear.
    6. You find the resistance base, but no save point :( Krissie will heal you(if she's not there,exit and enter the base again), and Watts will do his job.
    7. Go to the end of a corridor, then to the left to find another escalator. Go on the right to press the switch, a barrier in the large room is gone. Don't worry about that barrier near the switch, it's important later.
    8. Another long corridor full of monsters. When you're done, you see 4 yellow dots on the floor. Step right in the middle of the area they show, you'll get rid of a barrier.
    9. One more corridor. Find 4 light switches and activate'em in the following order:Red - blue- yellow - green. Go down.
    10. You shall find a place with 2 Kimono Wizards. REMEMBER. Press the switch BEFORE you go down, otherwise you'll have to go through the entire city over again.
    11. Go up. Remember? The old barrier from #7 is gone!
    12. You find the SUBWAY! The ancient civilization was just like ours. I hope WE will not go through the war of the Mana Fortress,oh well. Subway is full of old good Ghouls, they shall be very easy for you right now. This is the easiest part of the city. Exit the subway, and find old pals, the Scorpion Army! THE UNDERGROUND CITY IS OVER! Did I explain it well enough?
  • Talk to Jema. He tells you about the shortcut to the Grand Palace. Go on the right, then downstairs. Enter the Grand Palace.
    1. Go forward, don't go upstairs. Remember to have Wall on yourself all the time. At least try. Then go right for the water crystal and left for the crystal of earth. Go back.
    2. Go upstairs. "Whip the gaps", you'll land on the left part, get the crystal of wind. Go down, then far right for Salamando's orb.
    3. Just a little on the left , and down for a "secret" passage. Left for the light crystal. get the sword orb, then right for the crystal of darkness.
    4. Go left (upstairs), and trigger the switch on the wall, and the barrier is gone. Go upstairs.
    5. Left, downstairs and you shall get to the stairs. Press the green switch on the left , and another one, then whip yourself down to the last, Luna's crystal of moon!
    6. Go on the right side, which looks exactly the same as the one you've just been to. Go upstairs and you find yourlsef back in the Tree Palace with Sanp Dragon!!!!!
    7. One of the easiest bosses I know. He's actually easier than one of Heck Hounds. Couple of fire spells will kill him.
  • The Emperor's in the stage room, but he's dead!!! Enter the door behind the stage. It turns out that Fanha and Thanatos got rid of the Emperor. Time to beat Fanha.
  • She won't be hard. Earth Slide works just great. She can pygmize you, so make sure you got the Midge Mallet. Save your game, and prepare for the final showdown with Geshtar. THIS battle will be very tough. Geshtar casts Wall on the time, so magic will be useless. Charge your weapons, and attack him. You'll probobly need 4 Cups of Wishes, Fearie Walnuts,etc. Geshtar has about 4500HP.
  • You've failed. The Mana Fortress has been activated by Thanatos. Talk to Jema, he tells you about the Mana Tree in.

    PURELAND



  • PureLand is a strange white island on the west of the Ice Country. The enemies over there are the hardest in the game, so you'll need very good armor. Go behind the Tree Palace, Neko has some good (and expensive ) stuff. PureLand is a very cool place, but dangerous too. Mushglooms are the worst enemies ever (maybe besides Master Ninjas ) . Your spells should be on lv.6 or 7 by now. You'll need Sylphid, Gnome, Undine and Salamando.
  • The first boss in PureLand is such a pain! His magic is extremely powerful (Earrth Slide lv.8 ) , his normal attacks, such as Baloon Ring can take off more than 600HP. Thunderbolt will take care of him.

  • You'll reach the First Gate of PureLand. Save your game, then fight the Snow Dragon. Pretty easy, use Fire magic, or dragon weapons (Dragonbuster, Dragonlance, and such). Go back, and pass through the gate.

  • The next part of PureLand ,will be a spooky cave full of Ice Thugs and such. There's Axe Beak in the middle of the cave. He can be easily defeated. Undine will work nice. Exit the cave, and find the Second Gate. Bump off the Red Dragon in his cave, and get to the Third Part of the Mana Valley
  • Thunder Gigas has a lot of HP and strong magic, but just like the other gigases, he has a weakness. Keep casting Gnome on the dude, and you'll win. The last boss in the forest is Blue Dragon. He fears Gnome, so use Earth Slide. Then Pass through the gate to find the Mana Tree

    THE MANA FORTRESS

  • The final dungeon. Not realy a dungeon, but ya know what I mean. Enemies are hard, and there's lots of them. No save points. No escape (Flammie won't go in there, Magic Rope won't work ). The first part will be full of Tsunamis. Pass the room with Tsunamis, another one with Fiend Head and DarkStalkers, and another one with Heck Hounds (I wonder if it was Hell Hound in J version. ) . You'll have to press the switch (Tsunamis will attacks you ), then cross the gap. After a while, you'll get to the point where 2 Turtlances are walking around. You can either go left, or use a whip to cross the gaps. The first option is a looong dead end. Cross the gaps, you'll find yourself in a weird room full of blue spikes (not Blue Spikeys) . Cut them off with the Axe. Do NOT press the switch in the middle. Soon, you'll find Buffy, the Vampire.
  • Defeat him in the same way you defeat the last one, but use Lumina's magic. If it's on sucky level, use Earth Slide. He's a whimp. The next part of the Fortress will be harder. Exit the room with Buffy, and go left. It's a nice shortcut Fight your way to another boss, Lime Slime. Now, REMEMBER, cast Wall on everybody before you start a fight!!! His magic is really nasty. You'll need Shade on lv.6 or 7. Just keep casting Dark Force. It'll grow bigger and bigger. It has 5000HP but is quite easy to kill.
  • The third part of the Fortress is the longest, and the hardest. Also, full of the hardest enemies in the game, Master Ninjas. They can kill you with one hit Keep away from them. Terminators are also tough, but can be killed with one Dark Force. After a long, tiresome journey through the dungeon, you'll eventually reach the end. When you get to a big, empty room , heal everybody, cast Wall, Lucid barrier, Light Saber, Moon Power and such.
  • Thanatos and Dyluck are in the next room. The sorcerer is about to steal Dyluck's body. He's very weak. "Enjoy" the scene, and face Thanatos as Dark Lich. Ah, he looks cool, doesn't he? Too bad he's so easy. Some of his attacks are dangerous, but Wall will save you from most of them. Watch out for his beams. If he's underground, NEVER EVER touch his hands, your character will die immediatly. Lucent Beam will work perfect. Earth Slide is not bad either. Thanatos has 6666HP (coincidence? ).
  • After you defeat him, there's another cool, hard to understand scene. The Mana Beast shows up. Like the Mana Tree said, it's not evil, but has a little control over its rage. If the heroes decide to kill it using the Mana SWord, Mana will disappear forever. If they don't kill it, the world will be destroyed. It's a hard decision.
  • The final battle:
    Okay, here's what you must do. The only way to defeat the Mana Beast, is to smash it with the Mana Sword. To restore the sword, Popoie and Purim must cast Mana Magic on the hero (hand him the sword first ). However, Mana Magic expires quickly. The Mana Sword is green. If it's not green, that means Mana Magic expired. Just cast it again, and again, and again. The Beast can be hurt only when it's in front of you. DO NOT charge your sword, just hit the beast every time the sword reaches 100 %. To avoid its attacks, use Cure water 2-3 seconds before it hits you. Using Moon Powers on Randi will help a lot.
