Beginning

Uhh...some evil dude stole the Eletale book and your daddy went to stop 
them. Well, daddy hasn't returned yet, so you set out to find him.

Spells

The game isn't really that greatly designed, and you'll have to use 
mostly Earth and Water the entire time., and Fire somewhat as well (at

Walkthru

You start out in the Monastery and the dude tells you your quest. After 
he's done, look around the place for items and hints. Then go outside 
once you're done and go to the left. You'll see a horse and a pile of 
hay. Look in the hay for a Spirit Gem (and use it on the Water element). 
Then head down to town and pick up some wings and items. When you're 
ready, leave the town through the gate.

You'll be out in a field. Fight some enemies to gain more HP and Defense 
power (see Defense trick below) Go to the Fortunetellers' house and look 
inside for a free Spirit Gem. Get Water element to Level 7 before doing 
anything else (so that you learn the VERY useful Healing spell). Then 
follow the path to a fork in the road and go right to Dandoran. Talk to 
people to discover that Solvaring has stolen the Earth Orb. Look around 
the town for Spirit gems and get the wings from the item shop.

Talk to the king and then look around the castle for items. There are a 
lot of them in here. Then leave the town and head to Connor forest (Go 
right when you come to the fork). Fight in here until you gain about 110 
HP and a good amount of Defense (see the trick below). Then follow the 
left path. Stop in the hut to find a Spirit Gem and a Giant's Shoe. 
Eventually you'll find a gate (and some Spirit Gems along the way). 
Inside here is your first boss, Solvaring. Be sure to go back to the 
town and save before you fight him.

This guy is really tough because Rock doesn't really affect him, and if 
you get too close (and try to use Water Pillar), he'll hit you with an 
earthquake attack that does about 15 damage. Use items to heal. My 
strategy is to use Spirit Armor and then Power Staff, and heal with 
items when he counterattacks. If you are defeated, just hit reset, 
because you'll re-appear at the Hotel with all your items gone (that you 
used in the battle). When you defeat him your max HP goes up by 10, and 
you'll gain the Earth Orb.

'Joe' (lost his E-mail addy) sent me an easier way to beat Solvaring. So 
here it is.

Stand far enough so he doesn't walk up a and use the earthquake attack 
but close enough to hit him with Fireball level two. If you do that , 
the boss will only fire the beam at you but run to the left or right to 
dodge it then pummel him with fireballs. Also use your items that 
restore your magic points. I have to thank my friend Zak for this tip.

After that return to town and talk to the people in the bar if you need 
more Dew Drops or Bread. Then go talk to the king and he'll let you 
enter a secret room in the castle. There's some treasures and a Spirit 
Gem back here. Collect them and then go back to the forest and take the 
right path. There's a treasure chest and a gate. Go through the gate and 
onto the next part of your quest. Follow the path until you reach a 
dock. Talk to the captain and board the ship.

Once you dock, then get off the ship and head to the city of Larapool. 
It's a long hike and you meet new and tougher enemies, so be careful. 
Look around for Spirit Gems, too. Talk to people to find out about a 
wizard that stole the Wind Jade and Epona (you'll meet Epona later, and 
no, not the horse from Zelda!!!). Remember that fork in the road you 
passed on the way to Larapool? Go down the other path. You'll find 
another hut here. Talk to the person inside to restore your HP and save, 
and then head into the nearby cave, Cull Hazard.

This is a long cave and it's easy to get turned around, so keep an eye 
on the compass at the top of the screen. Watch out for the dragon guys 
in here, they deal out lots of damage. Run away if you meet up with 
them. The other enemies shouldn't provide much of a problem. This is 
also a good place to do the Defense trick (see below in "Tricks"). 
You'll almost be at the end when you find yourself walking down a big, 
green tunnel covered in vines. It will take you to the town of Normoon.

This town is pretty big. Look around for items and spirit gems (in the 
long grass you'll find some). Be sure to save your game, another boss 
battle is coming up. Head into the forest and build up to about 150 HP. 
Continue down the path to meet the next boss, Zelse.

This guy is pretty tough. Like Solvaring, don't get too close or he'll 
use a powerful attack. Stay a few steps away and use Avalanche. It takes 
a big toll on him. He'll most likely try to slash at you after doing 
Avalanche. Run towards him to avoid it. When your HP gets low, use items 
to heal. When you defeat him, you'll gain the Wind Jade and your max HP 
goes up by 10.

Once you defeat him, continue through the forest to the bridge that you 
couldn't cross previously. Follow the path back to Larapool. Go to the 
bottom floor of the inn and take the stairs that lead to a door. Follow 
the path down and enter the door. Talk to the person inside and the 
water will lower, opening a new path.

You'll end up in a tunnel. Take the right path, and then follow the 
arrow signs. Eventually you'll come to a room with a lot of paths. I 
don't remember exactly how I got through here, so try and find the way 
out and pick up the Spirit Gems and treasures. After you make it through 
here you'll find a house. Go inside and talk to the person. It turns out 
to be Epona. After you talk to her go into the next room and step on the 
wierd tile to be warped to a boat.

Enter the boat and take the items inside, while talking to the crew 
members. One will let you save your game. When the boat stops, get out 
and look around for Spirit Gems. Build up your HP to about 200 here. 
Follow the path to the right of the nearby house and step between the 
four blocks coming out of the ground. You'll meet Nepty, the next boss.

Nepty is pretty tough. Stay back and use your Fireball 3 if you have it, 
or Avalance if you don't (but you have to get pretty close to use 
Avalanche). Like any battle, heal with items and use magic to attack. 
You'll get the Water Jewel when you win (and 10 more HP, like always).

Leave Nepty's hideout and then you'll be back outside. Go to the house 
and talk to the people, and then go into the warp tile in the next room 
to warp back to Epona's house. Leave Epona's house and go stand in the 
middle of the rock pillars nearby to warp back to Larapool. From there, 
return to the first ship you got on. It will take you to a small house. 
Save your game, and then follow the path to Limelin.

Look around the town for Spirit Gems and items, and then head to the 
castle. You'll hear about a murderer named Fargo (who has the next item 
you need) Look around town and the castle courtyard for items and gems, 
and then talk to the queen. Then leave the town and head to the hills 
you passed by earlier. Go around and you'll find a path leading down. Go 
south to a house, and enter the mines near it.

Follow the paths to get out of this place. It's easy to get lost in 
here, so keep an eye on the compass. When you reach a wooden path, 
you'll almost be out. Follow the long path and eventually you'll meet up 
with Shilf, the next boss.

She's pretty easy to beat. Just position a pit between you and her, use 
the Magic Barrier, and then keep using Rock 3. It takes off about 50 HP. 
Keep it up and she'll be dead in no time. Just be sure to sidestep to 
avoid her attacks. Go into the room after you beat her to find some 
treasure. Then follow the path to the Dindom Dries hut. Save here and 
continue your quest. Follow the map to the Pyramid (see below in the 
"Tricks" section). It's a long way out of the way, but well worth it.

After that, go to Greenoch, the nearest town on the map. Some dude got 
pissed and trashed this town. Save your game here and talk to the people 
to find out about who destroyed the village. Then follow the very-hard-
to-follow path to the Boil Hole.

The Boil Hole is very simple. Just follow the path and pick up the 
treasure along the way. In a big room with a bunch of volcanoes you'll 
meet the murderer that escaped from Limelin, Fargo!

Stay away from this guy, or else he'll hit you with a very powerful 
attack. Use Walking Water or Ice Knife to do the most damage on him. A 
Giant's shoe will help a lot if you have one. After you defeat him, get 
the Treasure and Spirit Gem that you couldn't while you were fighting 
him. You'll gain the Fire Ruby when you defeat him. Follow the path out 
of here (you'll know it's the right one because you don't get attacked). 
You'll end up at your next destination, Bargoon Moor.

Talk to the guy in the house to save your game, then pick up all the 
nifty treasure in his house. Then leave the house and head to Bargoon 
Castle Town. Look around before you enter, there's a couple Spirit Gems 
around (and you meet the Red Rose Knights, which look pretty cool but 
don't pose much of a threat). Talk to everyone in this town. Get wings, 
find out that the King is a nutcase, Save, etc. When you're ready, head 
towards the castle.

When you reach the front door after a long hike, you'll find that you 
can't open it. Just go to the left side of the building and go up the 
steps to a secret entrance (Be sure to grab the Spirit Gem first!). Once 
you're inside, follow the long but straightforward path. Be careful not 
to get turned around in here. You're going the wrong way if you're going 
down stairs. You should always go up. After a long hike and picking up 
lots of treasure and fighting lots of baddies, you'll meet Guilty, a 
pretty easy boss.

Like most Bosses, try to keep your distance from him. He uses a needle 
attack that does about 15-20 damage if you stay away from him. No big 
deal. Use Power Staff Level 2 and Magic Barrier. You'll take like 100 
damage on him! Another strategy is to use Avalanche from a distance (but 
I prefer the first one). When you win follow the path and head upstairs. 
You'll meet one of your buddies up ahead who will heal you and save your 
game for you. Do so and continue on.

You'll eventually meet that Shannon person who was in almost every Inn 
you've been to. She'll tell you that you have to defeat King Beigus. 
Like you didn't already know that. The other dude turns out to be your 
dad, but he's pretty screwed up at the moment. Enter the door next to 
them and continue on to meet King Beigus.

This guy is a total wimp. Follow the skinny green path leading over to 
his platform and use Power Staff to take off a lot of HP. He'll use his 
close-range attack, which is really wimpy compared to his long range one 
(unlike the other Bosses you've faced). He has about 1200 HP, so this 
will be a quick fight. After you beat him, follow the path behind his 
throne until you meet Shannon again, who will give you the Eletale Book. 
Then enter the next path and you'll end up in the Floating Monastery.

This place is pretty f***ed up. Follow the long path and keep entering 
the door you come to, while fighting some pretty tough enemies. Get to 
about 400 HP for the next fight, and be sure to have a high Defense 
rating. Don't go back through a door you've come from, even if it seems 
like you're going in circles. You'll reach the end eventually, trust me. 
You'll eventually meet Shannon, who will give you the key you'll need to 
reach the last boss.

You'll meet Epona at one point, who will save your game for you. Do so 
and you'll end up in a "Dark World" version of Melrode. Enter the gate 
that would normally lead to the monastery, and you'll find a big purple 
beastie, Mammon.

This guy is also totally wimpy, the second-easiest boss in the game 
(first is that wuss King Beigus). Run up to the end of the path and 
he'll be in range of your Power Staff, your ultimate weapon. Use Magic 
Barrier and whack away. He has around 2000 HP, and he'll be dead after 
about 20 hits. His attacks consist of a supercharged version of Homing 
Arrow, an ultra-powerful version of Magma Ball (which is almost 
impossible to dodge), and a cool-looking attack where he fires big beams 
at you. Use Magic Barrier to block all of them. If you run low on MP, 
just use Drain Magic. Pretty easy for a last boss, if you ask me. 

Congrats, you win. Sit back and watch the lame 40-minute ending. (You 
never know what becomes of Brian's father).

Tricks
Many thanks to Marshmallow and his great Quest FAQ.

I will enlighten you with my vast wealth of information, and if you 
don't want to be absolutely annhilated later in the game, you better 
listen up! Most people always seem to want to raise their HP as far as 
they can, up in the 100's even, before going to Connor Forest alone, but 
this will offer only small protection if your defense is lacking. Later 
in the game, enemies can make your 300 HP melt away like a man in a 
hooker's snatch, so you must get your defense very high to counteract 
this. How do you do this? Simple, get hit by attacks. Everytime you do, 
you get defensive experience. The more powerful the attacks inflicted on 
you the better! Keep doing this, even if you die, and you will return at 
the last inn with all of your exp. Do this over and over, then you can 
not be stopped!

Want to build up defense? Then here is a SWEET trick for you. Get to a 
place where there is a hotel in a place where you fight creatures. A 
good example of this would be at the Isle of Skye, or before the boats. 
Anyways, save at the hotel and then go out into the place and find the 
toughest guy you can. Get hit a lot, and then heal yourself with spells. 
Don't fight, just heal! Sooner or later you will die. You will appear at 
the Hotel all nice and everything, AND you will have a ton of defense 
points! Try it! Do this over and over for a great effect. 

This secret is the best in the game...in Dindom Dries, after the first 
tent go to the next one on the map. See that path? That leads into a 
gigantic desert. It takes up most of the map space! Go through here and 
keep going, at the end (a long hike!) you will see a pyramid with a 
large jewel floating above it. Go to the very tip and you will be taken 
to the lost city (er...building actually) of Shamwood. Here you will 
find..hmm...a lot of sprirt gems! I came in with 40, went out with 50! I 
even started to build up my wind from 1 to 10!! Wow! Explore around, and 
you will find the treasure rooms of treasure rooms. In here is a large 
circle of chests that include every item in the game! Plus some gems. 
Look around some more and you will find someone to talk to...I won't 
reveal this secret. Try it out yourself!

In the Kennishire Wharf Road, look on your map, see that forest? The 
Glenco Forest can be gotten into! Just look around for a log that will 
take you across a gap, in this forest are a ton of spirit gems. About a 
dozen or so. Plus a cottage. They are hidden well, and you will have a 
lot of fights, but it's worth it. 

In Limelin Castle, go to the throne room. Behind the throne is a secret 
door, just go through it like you would any door. Behind it is a hall, 
and a door. Through the door is a room with three treasure chests, 
sweet!

I forget what it's called, but let me just explain it to you. Fire 
creatures will take more damage if you hit them with a water or ice 
attack and an ice creature will take more damage if you hit them with a 
fire attack. Use this to your advantage.  

Here is a much better defense trick: Get to a place where the weakest 
creature doesn't take that much HP off (the BEST example is the Blood 
Jell) and just let him attack you. Defeat anyone who will give you any 
problems, everytime it's your turn just Z, this will forfeit your turn. 
When you're HP gets a little low keep healing until your HP is nearly 
100%, keep getting hit. When your MP is nearly gone kill the creature. 
This will net you MAJOR defense points. It might take awhile, but you 
can get 5-6 points doing this! Note: the more you do this in one area 
the less you will get. If you do this from the start of the game to the 
end, you can not be stopped.

Here's some Gameshark Codes. Send me more if you have them.
