5. Walkthrough

This is the official walkthrough, separated in various steps. I'll try to make
it as detailed as possible.

***********************************************************************
                           THE BEGINNING....
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Items: NONE.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Talk to Teo, it's the man neaby when you begin and you'll go meet the meperor
Barbarosa. Teo will be given the emperor's sword and you'll be asked a
question. The best answer is: "Yes, Your Highness.". YoU,ll be on your way
after that. Follow the corridor down the stairs and pass on the red-carpet
corridor. You'll be stopped by Teo, go talk to Kraze to the left (He's such an
arrogant fellow) and go back to Teo.

You'll automaticly wander back home and be greeted by Gremio. Head out of the
house and go gear up the main character at the armory. Return to your house
after that and talk to everyone (Don't forget to scare up Pahn!!). Go upstairs
to meet up with Ted and go into the room to the left. Agree to let him join the
party (Of course.) and you'll be called for supper.

Go seat yourself on the empty seat and you'll be going to sleep after some
talk. Watch the small sleep in Black & White and Gremio will wake you up next
morning. Gremio will join the party there and go downstairs after that to get
Pahn & Cleo to join. Try to leave and Ted will come and join the party. Head to
the castle and speak to Kraze.

The answer to his question is (Northeast of Gregminster). Leave the castle and
a scene will be triggered. I suggest you leave the town and battle to gain
money to equip all the members of your team with thebest stuff, but it's not
necessary.


***********************************************************************
                           LEKNAAT THE SEER
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Items: Medecine x6, Leather Coat x1, Fire Crystal x1.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Go to the stables to the right of the entrance to the castle and speak to Futch
(The man near the Black Dragon). You will depart to Magician's Island. Go up to
another screen and follow the path to the next screen. Collect the Medecine to
the left and head back to the right. Follow the path to the next screen and
take the path to the right at the intersection for a Leather Coat.

Go back to the intersection and go to the left this time. You'll encounter Luc
who will send a Golem after you. Use Talisman Attack from Gremio & Pahn for big
damage against it, it shouldn't pose a threat. Follow the path in the castle
and up the stairs. Speak to Leknaat at the top and go up after that. Listen to
Leknaat making her prophetic speech and go back down to reunite with the party
(Leknaat will give a Fire Crystal to Cleo).

Luc will warp you back to the shore of the island and you'll head back to
Gregminster. Head into the castle and talk to Kraze there. You'll give him the
Astral Conclusions from Leknaat and you'll be sent to Rockland with Kanaan the
coward. Save & Rest at the inn and head out of town.


***********************************************************************
                           PETTY THIEVES
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Items: Boots x1, Medecine x12, ? Pot x1, 1000 bits, Defense Rune Piece x1,
Escape Talisman x1, Leggings x1, Thunder Rune Piece x1.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Head to the right between the mountains to Rockland. Go to the armory to outfit
your characters with the best possible equipment. Go into the house in the back
of the village and you'll be asked if you want to get rid of the bandits by
Ted. Answer "Of course." and go out of town (Saving & Resting before, if
necessary).

Go to the right and on the mountains you'll see, that's Mt. Seifu. Go up the
road and Kanaan will do a little speech. Continue inside a cave and go to the
right at the intersection for Boots along with Medecine. Head back to the left
through the cave entrance and go to the screen to the left for a ? Pot.

Go back to the previous screen and take the leftmost path leading up for 1000
bits. Go backto the previous screen and take the 3rd path from the left,
leading up for a Defense Rune Piece. Go back to all the paths and take the 2nd
one from the left, leading up to another screen. Continue to the next one and
go collect the Escape Talisman along with the Medecine to the left. Collect the
Leggings to the right and go up to the next screen.

Go up the stairs to the next floor and follow the path to battle against the
Queen Ant. Just focus on killing the never-ending flow of small ants until the
battle interrupts itself. Ted will ask to try something, accept (OK, Ted.) and
he'll kill the Queen Ant using an unknown power. Continue along the path until
you come to an intersection, go up for a Thunder Rune Piece and head to the
next screen down below. Save at the crystal there.

Go up the stairs and you'll encounter the thieves (Varkas and Sydonia). You'll
have to dispose of a group of Bandits (See? I told you Kanaan was a coward!).
they shouldn't pose a problem. You'll have to fight Varkas and Sydonia right
after that. Get rid of Sydonia first and don't forget to make use of the
Talisman Attack! Use the Fire Rune on Varkas for big damage too.

This fight should be a breeze. You'll capture the bandits and head back to the
beginning of Mt. Seifu. Leave the area to the World Map and head back to
Rockland to the left. Go Save & Rest at the inn and sell un-necessary stuff.
Head to the house at the end of the town and Kanaan will be gifted with 10000
bits (grumble, grumble) for "capturing" the bandits. Leave the town and head
back to Gregminster to the left.


***********************************************************************
                       THE HUNT FOR THE SOUL EATER
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Items:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Listen to the scene when entering (Kanaan and Ted will leave the party) and
head to McDohl's house. You'll automaticly go to eat and go talk to Gremio when
he enters the room. Go down on the first floor and you'll find Ted lying on the
doorway, wounded. OF COURSE, choose to Help Ted!!!! Ted will relate the events
when he comes around and you'll learn about the Soul Eater.

Go talk to Pahn outside the room after that and Ted will wake up, explaining a
little about the Soul Eater. Say "What is it, Ted?" to his question first and
answer "I'll take it, Ted. Don't worry." to his request. The cursed rune "Soul
Eater" will be bestowed upon you and something will happen. Go at the front
door to see Pahn brought the Imperial Guards and Ted will want to surrender
himself to the Imperials.

Say "All right." since you can't advance otherwise. You'll escape through the
back door, go to the inn and you'll rest up there. Go down to the 1rst floor of
the inn and talk to the first man at the table there (Viktor). Try to leave to
encounter Imperials, I personnaly like to tell them "Shut up, you fool.", but
that's just me. Viktor will stumble in to bail you out and leave.

Follow him and talk to him again. Answer "All right. Help us out." to his
question and Viktor will join the group. Go outfit him at the armory and go to
the town's gates. Viktor will arrange something with the guard there and you'll
pass through. Viktor will ask you something (Answer "It's a promise.") and
you'll leave the town. Head to the south to Lenankamp and head to the inn to
rest. You'll watch a scene and the Imperials will burst in the inn.

Answer his question however you want (I like "Let's fight." better though) and
examine the clock to uncover a secret passageway. Go into the second room on
the way down and watch the scene. Answer "Maybe I should join the Liberation
Army." to Gremio's question and talk to everyone. Go back to the stairs to find
a wounded man, you'll learn that the bandits you captured worked for the
Liberation Army. Say "It's our fault." (Be honest) and go back up to the town.

Do so, go to the left and you'll battle 2 Empire Soldiers (Easy). Collect the
Medecine in the room and continue to a room where you'll battle 2 Empire
Soldiers. Go in the next hallway and enter the first room to the right to

and go out of town right after them. Go to the left to Gregminster and go south
to Lenankamp. Go to the leftto Gregminster and go south to Lenankamp. Go sell
un-necessary stuff and Save & Rest at the inn. Go into the hideout under the
clock in the inn and talk to Odessa. You'll be asked a choice, answer "My

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Items: Circlet x1, Medecine x12, Gloves x1, Wind Rune Piece x1, ? Pot x1, Clone
Crystal x1, 1000 bits.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Go back in town and outfit Odessa with the best equipment from the armory. Go
out of town and go to the northwest. Cross the bridge there and continue to a
mountain path to the north. That's Mt. Tigerwolf, listen to everyone and go
collect the Circlet nearby. Go to the next screen to the right and continue to
the next screen to the north, collecting the Medecine along the way.

Continue along the path and collect the Gloves to the left of the screen.
Continue to the next screen to the north and continue farther north to another
screen. Go to the left for a Wind Rune Piece and continue along the path to the
next screen to the north. You'll come by an inn and be greeted by Ledon. Answer
"Me too." and answer "Just a taste, then." to the other choice once you're
inside.

You'll all fall asleep due to thetea and Kessler will make Ledon wake you up.
Go talk to Kessler in the night and everybody will wake up. You can go back
inside to Save after that. Head north 2 screens after the inn to a small
intersection and collect the ? Pot to the right. Go to the next screen to the
north and collect the Medecine to the left. Head to the next screen by the

back to your bed and you'll be on your way back after that. Save at the inn and
leave the town.

Trek all the way back to Lenankamp, through Mt. Tigerwolf again. Head to the
inn there and you'll find the innkeeper, wounded. You can save by talking to
the downed innkeeper. Go to the hideout under the clock in the right room and
battle the 5 Empire Soldiers to the left. Go in the next room to the south to

Go to Odessa after that and she'll be dying. She'll give you an Earring and
answer "As you wish." to her final request, it's heartless, but it's the only
way. You'll now have the spell "Deadly Fingertips" for the Soul Eater. Save &
Rest at the inn after that and head out of town.


***********************************************************************
                            MEETING MATHIU
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Items: NONE.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Go to the south to Kwaba and listen to the party. Choose whatever fake name you
want and you'll sound like an idiot anyways. Go south to meet the guards and
Gremio will put up some act so you may pass. Listen to the party on the other
side and answer "I understand, Gremio." to the choice you'll be given. Leave
the area and enter Seika to the south.

Go talk to Mathiu to the north-west, before the steps and go in the house up
the steps. Go talk to the kid near the paper on the wall and return to talk
with Mathiu outside. He'll head back ito his house and go talk to him there.
Leave the house and listen to the party. Imperials will head to Mathiu's house,
follow them and you'll have to choose again. Choose "Help them, of course." and
answer "Survivors of the Rebel Army." to the Imperial's question.

Fight the 3 Empire Soldiers and go talk to Mathiu after that. Answer "But
Odessa...." to his question and answer "I'll do it." to his request. He'll tell
you about an abandoned castle in the middle of Lake Toran, go to the inn to
Save & Rest and leave the town.


***********************************************************************
                            TORAN'S CASTLE
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Items: Mega Medecine x3, Toe Shoes x1, Antitoxin x8, 2000 bits, Power Rune
Piece x1, Pointed Hat x1, Medecine x6, Hazy Crystal x1, Wind Crystal x1.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Go to the left to a lake and go south to Kaku. Save & Rest at the inn and go
outfit yourself at the armory, go sharpen your weapons if they're not level 5
already. Head to the bar and talk to the girl near the counter (Camille).
She'll pick on Gremio and Viktor will offer her a deal, she'll join the party
there. Go outfit her at the armory (She's very poorly equipped) and go sharpen
her weapon at the blacksmith.

Go talk to the bartender in the (obviously) bar and go downstairs. Talk to Tai
Ho to the left of the room and play the game with him, remember that you must
have at least 1000 bits to do so. Listen to the rules and beat him at this game
to get him to sail to Toran's Castle. Talk to Tai Ho at the pier and you'll
sail to Toran Castle. Tai Ho will join you there. I suggest going back to town
so you can outfit him with the best equipment and sharpen his weapon to level 5
since he's rather weak now.

Save & Rest at the inn and return to Toran's Castle. Follow the port to the
right for a Mega Medecine and enter the cave. Follow the path to an
intersection by a lake, go to the south, passing by the lake to reach the chest
for a pair of Toe Shoes and return to the previous intersection. Follow the
path to the right to the next screen and go north to the 4-way intersection for
Antitoxin.

Go south for 2000 bits and continue to the right after that to the next screen.
Go up the stairs and go to the next screen to the right. Go down the 2 set of
stairs for a Power Rune Piece and continue to the last intersection to the
right. Go to the north for a Pointed Hat and go to the south for Medecine.
Continue to the next screen to the south and go up the stairs there. Go to the
next screen to the left and follow the path to the end for Antitoxin.

Save at the save point there. Go to the next screen to the north and go up the
stairs there. Go to the next screen to the right and go through an hidden
tunnel to the south for a Hazy Crystal (A bit tricky to reach). Continue along
the path to a wall, find a place to pass through for a Wind Crystal and go to
the next screen to the south. Go down the nearby stairs all the way to a boss,
Zombie Dragon.

Use everything you have against it, it's fairly rough. It's  weak against the
fire element. The fog will dissipate after the battle, you'll have to decide
for a name (I choose "Freedom Castle" and I shall refer to it as such from now
on) and you'll have a meeting after that.

Leknaat will appear and she'll give you the Stone Tablet of Promise (To keep
track of who you have recruited) along with a new member, Luc. Mathiu will tell
about Lepant and you'll wake up the next day. Go talk to Mathui to the far
right and Viktor will join along with Cleo. Choose 2 other party members and go
out on the pier. Head back to Kaku and Save at the inn.

Ornament x1, 700 bits.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Go outfit your new characters at the armory and sharpen their weapons to level
5. Head to the bar and talk to Sergei at the counter. Just talking to him will
get him to join your army, he'll install an elevator in your castle. Go outfit
him and sharpen his weapons if you want. Go out of town and head to Seiko to
the north a little to the right. Continue to Kwaba to the north and talk to
Chandler there to recruit him, he'll open an item shop in your castle.

Head to Seika to the south and enter the inn. Talk to Marie to recruit her and
she'll open an inn in your castle. head to the house to the north of the inn
and talk to Onil to recruit her useless presence. Head back to the castle and
to the 1rst floor. Talk to Marie multiple times WITHOUT staying until she
mentions that she needs a cook then, return to Seika. Enter the inn and talk to
Antonio there to recruit him, he'll just be providing food for your growing
army.

Go outfit Antonio and charpen his weapons to level 5. Go to the south to Great
Forest and Save & Rest at the inn. Head to the blacksmith and talk to Maas to
get him to join your side. He can sharpen your weapons to level 5. Go outfit
him and sharpen his weapon if you want. GO in the house to the left and talk to
Sansuke to recruit him. He'll make baths in your castle. Go outfit him at the
armory in Kaku if you want. Go to the north and to the left of the Great Forest
to get to Kouan.

Save & Rest at the inn. Go outfit your characters at the armory and go identify
your items at the appraiser. Head to Lepant's house to the left and up. Talk to
Giovanni in front of the door and you'll be told to bug off *subtedly*. Go talk
to Krin at the inn and answer "Tell me what you have in mind." to his question.
Listen to Krin's plan and you'll be in the night after that.

Go talk to Krin to the right of Lepant's house and go up the rope. Go down the
ladder to the left and go collect the Shoulder Pads you'll see there. Head to
the screen to the south and go down the ladder there. Talk to Rock there to
recruit him, he'll manage a vault in your castle. Collect the 700 bits and
Medecine nearby. Go through the door Rock went through and you'll have to avoid
some robots. Pass under the first two, go up past another one. Go to the left
past 2 and go up past 1.

Go to the right past one and continue up past the last one. Go collect the
Counter Crystal to the right and go through the door to the north. Go collect
the Speed Rune Piece in the room to the right and continue south, down the
stairs. Go in the room to the north of the stairs for a Fire Rune Piece and go
in the next room to the left for a Leather Armor. Go in the next room to the
left for Medecine and the next room after this one for White Paint.

Continue to the left and talk to Juppo, he'll run off. Head in the next door to
the left and try your luck at the wheel until you get to the other side. Go up
to the sword and take it. Head all the way back to Krin and you'll go back to
the inn. Krin will offer some tea (yeah, right....) and end up sleeping after
some scene. Lepant will break in the inn and answer "Um, Mathiu recommended
you." to his query.

Answer "I understand. We'll return your sword." to his next query and Giovanni
will come in. You'll learn that the Imperials took Lepant's wife hostage, Save
& Rest at the inn and head outside. Head up the stairs to the north and watch
Lepant break inside the house. Go through the door and Lepant will go even
farther. Go into the room to the south for a Water Rune Piece and go in the
room to the north after that. You'll have to kick out a member of your party
for Lepant to join and battle 6 Empire Soldiers.

Go up the stairs and follow the path through 2 doors. Go in the left room for a
? Ornament and head in the right room after that. You'll encounter Kraze there
and you'll have to battle 6 Empire Soldiers. Kraze will hold Eileen hostage and
call out..... Pahn! Pahn will ward off Kraze and you'll have a choice, choose
"Get the hell out of here." if you feel grateful, but I don't think the
decision affects the story since you won't see him again.

Talk to Lepant after this and he will join along with his wife. Talk to Pahn
after this and answer "Pahn, lend us a hand." to recruit him, also KEEP HIM
STRONG. Very important, since he has a crucial battle (Life or Death) to fight
in the game. Now, head back to Freedom Castle and go to the first floor to meet
Varkas & Sydonia again. They'll join the army along with Juppo/Krin who both
kinda tagged along it seems.

Answer "Let's do it." to Mathiu's suggestion and you'll end up holding a
banquet. Go out of the room and you'll be attacked by an Assassin. Dispose of
it quickly, Deadly Fingertips DOESN'T work, by the way. He'll run away. Go to
bed after that and you'll wake up the next morning.

inside (Yes, it's a he) and he'll ask something. Answer "Of course." and Mathiu
will decide on the best COA (Send a reconnaissance party, you). Kirkis joins
here and choose the remaining members you want on your side. Head back to the

precise) and join if you're level 25 or higher. Go outfit her and return to
Village of the Elves. Head to the biggest house at the end of the Village of
the Elves and watch the scene there. Once Sylvina stops talking, talk to the
elder and you'll end up being imprisoned. Talk to Stallion near you and to
Valeria to the left.

an event (Usually by going to the right door). Sylvina will come along and
she'll free you all. Stallion will make a run for it and answer "I agree." to
Kirkis' question. Head out of the village and Valeria & Sylvina will catch up
at the entrance. Valeria will join there, go outfit her at the armory.

down all the sets of stairs and take the north doorway at the bottom. Turn to
the right and take the next path to the north. Go past a passage to the right
for a Medecine and go take the passage you passed by for a Magic Robe.

Return near the beginning of this screen and take the first path to the south.
Go to the left, past a passage to the north, for a Blue Ribbon and go take the
passage you went past to get to the next screen. Go down all the sets of stairs
and take the south doorway at the bottom. Take the rightmost platform, the left
platform and south platform for a Thunder Rune Piece.

Go back 2 platforms, take the south one and exit via the southern doorway. Go
down all the sets of stairs and take the north doorway. Go to the right and
take the last passage south for a Pointed Hat. Take the passage to the north a
little before for a Skill Rune Piece and take the next passage to the north.
Collect the Medecine along the way and continue to the next screen. Press on
the 2 switches in this order: Left, right, right, left, left, left, right,
right.

The door will open, go inside and go to the left at the intersection for a Mega
Medecine. Go to the right for 5000 bits and go north after that. Go down the
stairs there and go to the south. Go to the left of the stairs there for an
Escape Talisman and godown the stairs after that. Continue to battle Gigantes.
Here's my strategy:

Viktor= Clone Rune.
Pahn & Gremio= Talisman Attack.
Valeria= Falcon Rune.
McDohl= Attack or Healing.
Kirkis= The Shredding (Wind Rune), switch to healing when out of MP.

That takes care of him rather quickly. Pass to the next screen and collect the
Defense Rune Piece to the left. Collect the Running Water Root in the middle
room and use an Escape Talisman to get out (You should have plenty of them).
Head back to Village of the Dwarves to the south and Save & Rest at the inn
(Don't forget to sell all the un-necessary stuff you got).

Head to the north & right house and talk to the elder there. You'll learn about
the Firewind Cannon and you'll be sent back to Village of the Elves.


***********************************************************************
                          KWANDA'S ATTACK
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Items: Steel Shield x1, Thunder Rune Piece x1, Half Armor x1, Gauntlet x1,
Medecine x6, Old Book Vol.1 x1, Gale Crystal x1.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Go out of town and to the south & left to Dwarf Trail. Backtrack all the way
through it (Refer to the previous walkthrough on this area if you want, but it
goes the other way through it). You'll see a forest fire in the distance while
coming back. Head out of the area by the next exit and head to the left to
Burnt Village of the Elves. Watch the scene and Save at the save crystal after
that.

Go out of the area and go back in. Talk to Templeton there to recruit him and
he'll give you a map to guide you around the world. Head back out and go to the
north to Great Forest. Kuromimi will be there, surrounded by Imperials. Answer
"Stop it, Valeria" to her query and she'll leave the party anyways. You'll be
double-crossed (Never saw that coming, eh?) and Kuromimi will join your party.

Battle the 6 Veteran Soldiers (Blah there) and Mathiu will arrive with all your
forces. Sylvina will show up and Stallion too. Answer "All right, all troops
forward." to Mathiu's query and you'll be prompted to Battle at Pannu Yakuta
Castle.

Make sure nobody dies in a battle like this, if it happens, restart the battle
from scratch. Use the Thieves to see the opponents' next move. Charge is beaten
by magic, magic by bow and bow by charge. Use your strongest teams first.
Enhance the power of Charge with the Strategists (Only when Charge is to be
used). Should be an easy battle.

Kwanda will try to use the Burning Mirror and the dwarves will break it before
anything happens. The party from there will be chosen automaticly (It's a good
party anyways). You can head back to Village of the Dwarves to outfit Kuromimi,
but it's uneeded. Continue straigth ahead and enter the castle. Go in the door
to the right to rest and go in the door to the left for a Steel Shield.

Go up the nearby stairs and go north for a Thunder Rune Piece. Enter the nearby
door and go down to the first floor. Go in the upper room to the left for an
Half Armor and go in the middle room to the right for a Gauntlet. Go back up to
the second floor and go in the upper room to the left for a Medecine. GO into
the upper room to the right for Old Book Vol.1 and go in the lower room to the
right for a Gale Crystal.

Go up to the 3rd floor and enter the door there. Go straigth ahead to battle
against Dragon, here's my strategy:

Viktor: Clone Rune, healing when unbalanced.
Kuromimi: Attack, healing when needed.
Valeria: Falcon Rune.
McDohl: Attack, healing when needed.
Gremio: Attack, healing when needed.
Kirkis: The Shredding (Wind Rune), switch to Attack & Healing when out of MP.

That should dispose of it easily. Make sure McDohl is healed fully, head
through the door behind the throne and head upwards. Head through the door to
the south and confront Kwanda. You'll have to battle him in a one-on-one duel
with McDohl. Tell his next move by his sayings, if he says something
aggressive, it's a Desesperate Attack, something neutral, an Attack or
something fearful, Defense.

Use Defense to counter Desesperate Attack, use Attack against everything 
else..... (You can try Desesperate Attack agaisnt Attack, if you think that's
what is coming). Once he's down for the count, watch the scene and examine
Kwanda's body after that. Answer "Something's wrong." to Kwanda (Hold back your
blood lust, he's one of the 108 Stars after all) and answer "I want you to join
us." to his query.

He'll join the Liberation Army to regain the righteous rule of the Empire.
You'll return at the entrance of the castle, watch the scene and Kirkis will
officially join there. Along with Sylvina and Stallion. Also, Kuromimi and
Valeria will officially join too. Answer "Let's go, then!" to Mathiu's query
and you'll be back to Freedom Castle. GO inside and you'll end up in the
highest floor of the castle.


***********************************************************************
                         RECKLESS ATTACKS.....
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Items: None.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Go down one floor and head in the room to the right. Watch the sceneand answer
"You're right." to Mathiu's request. Viktor will join there, go down to the
basement and take the boat. Go to Kaku to the right and enter the hosue to the
north of the pier. Talk to Flik and answer "Of course." to his request.

He'll join there, along with Humphrey, although nothing says so. Head back to
Freedom Castle and go to the room on the 3rd floor. Talk to FLik and answer
"Prepare to depart." to Mathiu's request. You'll enter Battle at Fortress of
Garan. Use the same strategy as the first war battle and it should go fine.
Don't forget that NOBODY must die in a war battle.

Remember, Magic beats Charge, Bow beats Magic and Charge beats Bow. Watch the
scene after the battle and you'll enter Battle at Scarleticia Castle. You'll
lose whatever you do so.... accept the defeat. Watch the scene after that and
answer "Okay. Come with us." to Gremio's query. Choose the remaining members of
the party by talking to Mathiu.

Go outfit all the new charatcers you just got. Head back to Freedom Castle and
put Kuromimi in your party. Head out of the castle and to the right to Kaku.
Enter the bar and head to the basement. Talk to Gaspar there and accept the
challenge. It's the same mini-game as with Tai Ho, but you must win 5000 bits
now. Once you succeed, he'll join up.

Head out of town and to Seika to the north & right. Enter the upper-right house
and talk to Apple there. Answer "Because Mathiu wanted to." to her query and
she'll join. Head out of town and to Kouan to the south of Kaku. Go to the left
from there to Garan and talk to Kai there. He'll join right away. Head back out
and go to Great Forest to the south & right of Kouan.

Go through the forest to the Kobold Village and enter the hosue to the south.
Talk to Gon to recruit him (Thanks to Kuromimi) and go back out. Head to the
inn and talk to Fu Su Lu. You must pay for his food (10000 bits) to recruit
him, do so. Return to Freedom Castle and outfit these new characters.


***********************************************************************
                           PLANNING AHEAD
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Items: Mega Medecine x3, Blinking Mirror x1,
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Go back to Garan Fortress and go across it. Head to Teien to the left and go
buy the Yellow Flower Seeds & Yellow Paint at the item shop. GO in the inn and
talk to Hellion. Recruit her by talking to her. Collect the 2 chests, Mega
Medecine and the VERY useful Blinking Mirror. Sharpen the weapons of your
charatcers if you can and head out of town.

Go to the south to Rikon and buy Blue Flower Seeds along with Blue Paint at the
item store. Go to the inn and talk to Lotte on the 2nd Floor. She'll ask to
find her cat, head back to Kaku and catch the cat there. Return to talk to
Lotte in Rikon and she'll join. Go talk to the man in the lower-left corner of
the village twice and head out of town.

Fight enemies until you obtain a Nameless Urn (Dropped by Holly Fairy), go back
in Rikon and make Jabba try to appraise the Nameless Urn. He'll fail and you
can recruit him so he becomes the appraiser at your castle. Go Save & Rest at
the inn.
