Rhapsody is the first musical RPG for the Playstation by Nippon Ichi.

This FAQ is for the puppets and the optional quests.

IV.  PUPPETS AND SPECIALS
-------------------------

Repairing a puppet costs Inotium directly proportional to its level.
          Repair Cost = Puppet Level X 100


A puppet's value is directly proportional to its level.
          Selling Price = Puppet Level X 1000


The following list of puppets is arranged in this manner:
    Name          ->   Name of the puppet
    Location      ->   Place where you can get the puppet
    How to get    ->   Steps you need to do to get the puppet
    When to get   ->   Earliest possible time you can get the puppet
    Element       ->   Elemental attribute of the puppet
    Range         ->   Range of the physical attack of the puppet
    Special       ->   List of magics/techniques of the puppet


Special type explanation:
          Single - one target only.
          Area   - targets all units inside the range.
          Self   - targets only the caster.

V.  PUPPET QUESTS
------------------
The following quests are optional.

A.  Sharte and Terra     -    Sharte and Terra must reach level 30. Put
                              Sharte and Terra in the party. After a
                              battle, Sharte and Terra will thank Cornet
                              for helping them.



B.  Koro                 -    When Alfred, the boy in Orange Village, gets
                              sick. His parents will ask you to help their
                              son.  Go to Polanski in the Tower of Wisdom
                              and ask for his help. Go to the Ice Temple.
                              When you have reached the correct spot, Koro
                              will appear and stand on the ground before
                              you.  Search the ground and you will obtain
                              the Snow Herb.  Return to Orange Village.

                              What happens after the quest?

                              Alfred's friend will find a stray dog in
                              Orange Village. After curing Alfred's fever,
                              POOCHI(the stray dog) will have puppies and
                              one of them will be given to Alfred. Alfred
                              will name his puppy KORO.


                              NOTE #1:
                              You can start this quest right after getting
                              the Thunder Stone/Holy Stone.

                              NOTE #2:
                              You can actually skip the talking event with
                              Polanski. On your way to White Snow, search
                              for the Snow Herb inside the Ice Temple.
                              Starting from the temple's entrance, pick the
                              following directions when you are in an
                              intersection: up, right, right, left. Walk
                              until you reach a dead end. Search for the
                              Snow Herb near the mark on the ground.

                              NOTE #3:
                              You must have started this quest before you
                              obtain all of the five Heart stones.



C.  Flare                -    Put Flare in your fighting group. Go back to
                              the place where you obtained the egg(Flare).
                              It is in the Salsa Volcano. You will have to
                              fight three sets of enemies(Griffin, 
Cockatrice
                              and White Wind). Flare would then meet his
                              parents.

                              NOTE #1:
                              You can do this quest after obtaining 3 Heart
                              stones(Water, Fire, Thunder/Holy).

                              NOTE #2:
                              I think you need Kururu for this quest.
                              If you have already obtained the five Heart
                              stones, do NOT go to the Tower of Wisdom.
                              Doing so will make Kururu stay behind.



D.  3 Egg Brothers       -    Talk to the dress shop owner in MotherGreen.
                              Go to the Ancient Forest and look for the
                              Chimera. The Chimera is in the lower level of
                              the ruins.  After beating the boss, say yes
                              to the request of the 3 Egg Brothers.

                              What happens after the quest?

                              The assistant of the owner returns to normal.
                              If you return to the room where you fought the
                              boss, you will see three Chimera eggs.



E.  Dark Knight          -    Dark Knight's level should be 30 or above.
                              After gaining a level up, Dark Knight will
                              challenge Cornet. Defeat the Dark Knight and
                              his quest will be completed.

                              NOTE:
                              I am not sure what triggers this quest. On my
                              first game, Dark Knight challenged Cornet when
                              he was at level 30. When I replayed the game,
                              he challenged Cornet when he reached level 33.
                              I think this quest is triggered by:
                              a. The number of battles Dark Knight has 
fought
                              b. The skill level of Dark Knight.
                              c. Dark Knight's status compared with 
Cornet's.

                              I suggest you put Dark Knight in your group 
and
                              do not remove him until he finishes his quest.



F.  Caroline and Michael -    Caroline and Michael must reach level 30.
                              Put Caroline and Michael in the party. After a
                              battle, they will thank Cornet for helping 
them.

                              What happens after the quest?
                              (thanks to Dennis Warren <denwarren@home.com>)
                              "Caroline and Michael's optional quest is to
                              get them up to level 30(like Sharte and 
Terra).
                              They are then reincarnated as babies at houses
                              in KeroKero and Mother Green.  (And everyone
                              disappears from the Frog Castle). If you keep
                              talking to the father in Mother Green, it 
turns
                              out that he has to move to KeroKero for 
business
                              so the babies should be reunited eventually 
(but
                              Caroline is reincarnated as a human!)"



G.  Ledgem               -    Reach the lowest level of the Netherworld. The
                              correct place is two rooms before you reach 
the
                              broken Ancient Weapon.

                              NOTE:
                              Ledgem's level is not important for this 
quest.



H.  Duke, Chiba, and    -     Defeat the Marjoly Family inside the Beauty
    Albatross                 Castle. After the battle, exit the castle and
                              return to Orange Village. Put Duke, Chiba and
                              Albatross in your group. Defeat the repaired
                              Ancient Weapon and the "clones" found on the
                              lowest level of the Netherworld.

                              What happens after the quest?

                              The puppets will explain to Cornet why they 
hate
                              Mustaki so much. And they will thank Cornet 
for
                              letting them perform their duty. The Weapon 
will
                              also disappear.

                              NOTE:
                              The levels of the puppets are not important in
                              this quest. But make sure they survive because
                              of the experience points you'll get after the
                              fight.



The following quest is part of the story.

A.  L-Kun                -    After Cornet's dance with Ferdinand, L-Kun 
will
                              thank Cornet for helping him fulfill his 
dream.

                              What happens after the quest?

                              After obtaining Dark Knight and the 5 Heart
                              stones, check Cornet's mailbox. You will read 
a
                              pamphlet about the Gandera Circus coming to
                              Orange Village.  L-Kun, a bear cub, is the 
main
                              attraction of the circus.
