Introduction
============

Well, this is my very first FAQ. I am writing this FAQ while playing it 
at the same time =) This is definitely a great game, look for my review 
on this game later. I have splitted the walkthrough into different 
areas, each one starting after you defeat a boss. If you have any 
questions or contributions, e-mail me at xcalibur@cableregina.com!

----Area 1----

Items: Tovarisch, Seventh Heaven, Buckler, Leather Glove, Reinforced 
Glove, Cure Bulbs x10, Vera Bulbs x5, Cure Root x3, Vera Root x3, Cure 
Potion

After the intro is over, go into the next room. To your left should be 
a chest and your right a save point. Get the chest (Tovarisch, Buckler, 
Leather Glove, Cure Bulbs x5, Vera Bulbs x5) and save if you want. 
Equip the leather glove to your right hand and the buckler to your left 
and proceed to the next room. Immediately, press the O button to ready 
battle mode and tap it again to bring up the attack screen, the bat in 
this room should be in range, one strike is all it takes to bring it 
down. Press X to cancel battle mode and climb up the crates to reach 
over the wall and into the next room. In this room you will here two 
guards talking, after the scene, go up the stairs. Note there is a 
Trap: Heal Panel in the little space next to the wall by the stairs 
leading up to the door. This panel can be used repeatedly, so use it 
whenever your low on hp. Remember this room! You will come back here 
later to open the door you can't open yet! In the next room, after the 
scene, the two knights will come at you. Don't get caught fighting both 
of them at the same time (although it isn't hard, but you get hit 
hard). After taking them out, climb back up onto the higher section and 
jump onto the floating tile in this room. Note there is a save point 
here and a container here (I'm not sure whether if the container 
appears immediately or after the first boss). Take the floating tile 
across and enter the next room. In the next room, take out the enemies 
and climb up the stairs, walk against the wall towards the door, there 
is a Trap: Gust in the middle area by the door, so keep to the wall. In 
the next room, defeat the knight and climb over the ledge by using the 
crates. The knight on the other side has a crossbow, so running from 
him won't safe you much. Proceed to the next room after and kill the 
two bats here. Climb up onto the upper left ledge and enter the side 
door. Upon entering, the door will be locked, kill the bat in this room 
before it gets you, then finish off the two Silver Wolves in this room. 
The door should unlock afterwards. Grab the chest in this room and 
leave. (Seventh Heaven, Reinforced Glove, Cure Root x3, Vera Root x3). 
Back in the room you came from, head towards the other door you haven't 
been yet. In this new room, you will have to carry a crate over to the 
other side to use to get up onto the ledge and into the next room. In 
this room, check the door, after the scene, carry a crate next to the 
ledge where the lever is, once up there, pull the lever. You will now 
have 3 seconds to get down and enter the door before it closes. After 
you get in, save your game and grab the chest. (Cure Potion, Cure Bulb 
x5). Now enter the next room and prepare to face your first boss =)

=======================================================================
Boss: Minotaur
Special Attack(s): Giga Rush
Items Gained: Chamomile Sigil, Grimoire Guerir, Gromoire Debile

This boss is fairly easy, just get off the ledge once the battle starts 
and rush him. Four blows to the head should kill him. The Minotaur's 
Giga Rush attack doesn't do much either, so you should have absolutely 
no problem beating him. After beating him, grab the chest in the 
northern ledge of the room. (Pelta Shield, Vera Bulb x3, Yggdrasil's 
Tears). Now attempt to exit the room and a scene with Sydney will start
=======================================================================

After you are able to leave the room, you should now have chain and 
defense skills. Pick the skills you like and practice using your chain 
attacks on the "dummy" in that room. After your done, you can save and 
start heading back to the room with the door that the guards said you 
couldn't open because of a Grimoire's doing. Back at that room, use the 
Trap: Heal Panel here if you need to. (As explained earlier). Attempt 
to open the door you couldn't before and you will automatically use the 
Chamomile Sigil. You are now in "Area 2"

----Area 2----

Items: Rapier, Cure Root x4, Cure Bulb x1

Upon entering, a scene with a Zombie Knight will occur. Defeat the 
Zombie Knight and it will drop a Rapier. In the next room, stay on the 
ledge you start on upon entering and attack the Zombie, Ghoul, and 
Zombie Knight from above. The Zombie and Ghoul will both drop Cure 
Roots x2 each, and the Zombie Knight will drop a Cure Bulb. In the next 
room, you will face to Silver Wolves, defeat them and cure yourself if 
you need to with the Grimoire Guerir, if you haven't used it yet. Make 
sure your risk level is at 0, then go through the double doors for 
another boss!

=======================================================================
Boss: Dullahan
Special Attack(s): Life Drain
Items Gained: Elixer of Queens, Elixer of Mages, Grimoire Lux

Ok, this boss could be quite hard, you better know how to defend and 
chain by now, cause you'll need it. Set chain to either Gain Life or 
Heavy Blow. Defense should be Guard Up. Make sure your hp stays over 
150 at all times. He will use his Drain Life spell on you every now and 
then, now is a good time to use Grimoire Debile on the Dullahan if you 
haven't used it yet. This guy's weakness is the abdomen (I think), 
he'll go down after MANY slashes, and make sure your risk level is LOW!
=======================================================================

Well, this is the end of the FAQ for now. I'm working on Part 3 right 
now, that boss is IMPOSSIBLE to kill =P, I'll figure it out eventually 
=)
