    0-Prologue: TRIBUTE TO THE SHINING LIGHT
    =====================================================================

     Authors note:
     
     After 10 years playing Shining in the Darkness (SITD/SATD) 
     Ive decided to write down all my notes about this master piece.
     I am Know replaying the game to correct possible mistakes.
     So be patient.Ill try to add new information almost every week.
         
     This faq is dedicated to the memory of my father 
          Manuel Salcedo (1948-2000)  
     I would also thank my girlfriend Laura for her support.
     (Sorry for all the time I could not spend with you cause I was very
      busy replaying the game and typing this faq).

     Well... Lets go!

    =====================================================================
    1-TOP SECRETS
    =====================================================================

      1.1:GET EVERY ITEM IN THE GAME!!!!!!
          
          Yes...You Know this game has a high encounter rate,but monsters
          rarely drop an item.
          Each type of monster has his own item (see Monster list),and 
          Only carries one for each battle,so if you use this method well 
          you could get every item in the game and many of the same type 
          (What about getting unlimited Ice staves?). 
          There are many items that you can only get by forcing an enemy 
          to drop it.
          There are two ways to do that:
              MAGIC: MUDDLE LV2          
              USING AN ITEM: DEMON STAFF  
                    
	  USING MUDDLE LV2:
                
            You will have to wait untill you are on exp level 42 for
            Pyra to learn this Spell.Then,when you are in battle use it.
            If it works,some or all monsters will go mad,then you just
            have to put Milo and Pyra the Defend option and the main
            caracter to use a "nothing happens item,like the armor he is
            wearing",then if you wait some turns and the enemy dont 
            flee from battle you will get a message saying:
                " (insert monster name here) hands over his treasure "
            An you get a new item for your collection.
            If the effect of the spell wears off just cast a new one.

            Unfortunately this method consumes MP and the spell fails 
            usually.So Ill recomend the next method.
              
        USING THE DEMON STAFF:

            Although its called DEMON staff its not cursed if you 
            equip it.The curse comes when you use it.The Staff will 
            create a fog that will muddle your party and all monsters in           
            battle.
            The effect could possibly be like a muddle Lv3 spell.(I CALL
            IT TOTAL MADNESS).
            First you should unequip all your weapons,this way you wont
            kill the monster whose item you want and just defend your
            party or use a no effect item.The rate of the monster handing
            over his treasure is really high.

            Unfortunately sometimes you will kill the monster before 
            getting his item,but dont worry.There are unlimited monsters,
            just wait untill another one of the same type appear.
            The effect of the curse wears off after the battle ends.

    8-UNSOLVED MYSTERIES 
    =====================================================================
 
      8.1: BLESSED ITEMS PROPERTIES

      The vision spell reveals that some rare items marked with
      the deal type have some special properties.I dont know what
      is that supposed special use or propertie.If you know of their
      use e-mail and I will put your discoveries in the next version
      of the faq.
            
      Here is the list of those items:

        MAGIC HOOD
        SUN ARMOR
        MITHRIL SHIELD: 
                    The vision spell reveals:
                    Its blessed with power.It might have other uses

        POSSIBLE ANSWER: Protection again Magic and Status effect spells or
                         attacks; 
                         This is what I supposed it could be;
                         It has been confirmed by Thomas Anton
                                   (Thanks Thomas).
                         But I will have to experiment more.
 
         
           ..........To be continued

        CONFIRMED:                         
 
           SUN ARMOR: Resists Fire (Either Spells or Breath attacks)
                      Must be equiped,can only be used by the main caracter.

           .........To be continued

      8.2: UNKNOWN MONSTERS ITEMS

           There are some monsters I still doesnt know what item they 
           drop or hand.Usually because they appear before getting the 
           Demon Staff or the Muddle Lv2 Spell.
           And some of them case this two methods dont even work.
           If you ever discovered what they kept (Maybe you were lucky
           enough and they dropped the item or by cheating with an action
           replay) e-mail me.
           It will be a top contribition if they are really rare items.

           1-NAME: DOPPLER (Miniboss)
             LOCATION: CAVE OF TRUTH
                
                WARNIG!!!: I dont mean the RUNE KEY he is guarding. 
                           I mean what he DROPS after battle.
   
           .........To be continued

      8.3: THE SLEEPING SENTINEL/GUARDIAN     

           I am sure you notice the statue near the entrance to the cave 
           of Wisdom (LEVEL 1).You checked it...Used some items in front
           of it(ORB OF TRUTH...) but nothing happens.
           Later on,when you reach LEVEL 2 there are more statues 
           (SENTINEL,see monster list) and later on the game a new one 
           appear (GUARDIAN),they attack you when you approach them.
           
           But...What is that lonely statue doing in the Level 1 dungeon?
           It seems it has no intention of attacking.
           It is just an ornamental one to trick you when you reach the
           living ones? Well...What do you think?

    =====================================================================

      9.1: DONT BELIEVE WHAT THE VISION TOLD YOU!
 
           The vision spell that Milo cast sometimes gives you a wrong
           description about which caracter can equip a certain weapon or
           armor.
           Here are some of those mistakes:
             LONG SPEAR: Can be used by You,Milo and Pyra but the spell
                         reveals:
                         "Its for magic users.Milo cant use it".
           
                    SHORT SPEAR
                    BRONZE KNIFE   Leave the same message
                    SHORT SWORD

      Bryan Heilman for his help confirming about the item dropped 
         by the monster Sea Stallion (I missed this item in my notes,I
