1. BASIC INFORMATION
=========================
*************************

     This walkthrough is made just for Wild ARMs 2. Do not put this 
walkthrough on your site with out my permission. Wild ARMs 2 is the 
sequel to Sony's hit RPG Wild ARMs. Although Wild ARMs 2 has much better 
graphics it still brings back many features from the original, like the 
music for example has the same tune to it, and the menu screen is also 
very similar to the original. An added bonus is that you may now have up 
to 6 party members instead of just 3. I won't say to much but from where 
I am in the game, it looks like there are some returning characters, 
even though the game takes place 1000's of years after the original.

3. WALKTHROUGH
=========================
*************************

This walkthrough starts with you turning on your Playstation and 
starting a NEW game. You will then get to choose between three different 
characters and play through their introduction story. It doesn't matter 
which one you pick first because you HAVE to play them all anyway.

------
Ashley
------
     If you pick Ashley the game starts with a green army truck driving 
down a dirt road. You are inside that truck. You soon find out that you 
are part of a military group called the musketeers, and that you are on 
a mission to save a kidnapped boy.

     You soon find yourself at the "Withered Runes". This is where the 
boy is being kept. When you walk into the runes you will see three 
doors; one to your left, one to your right, and one straight in front of 
you. The doors to your right and left have treasure in them and the door 
straight ahead is where you must go.

     If you keep going straight you will see a man standing next to a 
hole. Talk to him and he will say that a comrade of yours fell down 
there. Be a hero and jump down to his rescue. You will find him laying 
wounded on the ground, talk to him and he will open a door that leads to 
a heal berry and give you your first TOOL the HURL KNIFE!

     Now that you got the hurl knife go up the stairs to your right. You 
will find yourself back at the place where you jumped. Don't jump again, 
instead throw the knife at the switch to open the door to the left. Go 
through the door and continue through the runes for awhile. It should be 
very easy. Eventually you will find the kidnappers. After a short scene 
the boy, Tony, will jump on a switch releasing the first boss. After 
another short scene you will fight it.

-----------------------------
SEALED MONSTER WEAPON KALIVOS
-----------------------------

Level: 5   HP: ????   Weakness: None   Resistant: None

     This boss is very easy. For you first move just attack him with 
your sword. Make sure you attack his CLAWS first! Doing this gives you 
extra experience!
     Once he attacks you for the first time you should have enough FP to 
use your ARM. You should be able to kill one claw every two attacks with 
the ARM. *Remember to heal you character when your HP gets lower than 
50!
     After you have destroyed both of Kalivos's claws go for it's main 
body. This shouldn't take too long.

*Rewards*

100 exp points and 250 gella


-----
Lilka
-----
     If you picked Lilka you will find your character accidently 
teleported to the middle of an important meeting. You find out that the 
villagers are having a problem with monsters and are trying to get the 
help of "Mercs".
     After this scene you find yourself eating downstairs. They have 
taken you in for awhile! In the middle of your meal you have a flash 
back. You are now in the "Millenium Puzzle". Here you must hit all the 
four switches with your fire wand. This part is really easy, just keep 
walking towards the crystals and teleporting until you are at another 
switch then repeat! Use Freeze against the Golms and Flame against the 
Blue books.
     At the end you will find four different colored towers. They all 
start flat on the ground but rise when you stand on them. Stand on the 
BLUE pillar until it gets 3 squares tall. Stand on the ORANGE one until 
it is one square tall. Stand on the GREEN one until it is 3 squares 
tall, and stand on the YELLOW one until it is 2 squares tall. Now 
procede to the last switch.
     Now you are back at the village and find out about the monster that 
comes at night. You tell them that you will kill the monster for them. 
The first thing you want to do is save your game. Then go talk to the 
person at the entrance of the village. Now go and talk to everyone you 
can. You can't go inside the houses. Once you are done talking to 
everyone go back to the guy by a table on a hill and the moster will 
come. Go to the northest part of town.

---------------------------------
BOUNDLESS GLUTTON MONSTER OLIVIER
---------------------------------

Level: 4   HP: ????   Weakness: Fire   Resistant: None

     This guy is really easy. Just Attack the legs with Freeze and the 
main body with Flame. He will be gone in a few turns. *Remember to heal 
when your HP gets low!

*Rewards*

100 exp points and 250 gella


----
Brad
----
     If you start your game as Brad you will find your self in a forest. 
There are 2 paths, one to the left and one to the right. Take the one to 
the right. Keep heading right and you will come to the edge of a cliff, 
jump off it making sure you land where the chest is. If you go straight 
ahead a little puppy will come up to you, he will follow you through the 
rest of the forest.
	
     Now you should be at a split in the road, take the right route and 
you will find an abandoned house. Inside the house is Brad's first TOOL 
the KICK BOOTS. You can use them to kick down the gate on the right side 
of the house which will allow you to get a chest. Now go back the way 
you came and take the left path.

     At the end of the path you will find an old support column. Kick it 
and your character will automatically jump on it and procede on. Keep 
going up the path and you will see a short scene. Now it's time for the 
boss.


---------------------------------
PARASITE COLONY MONSTER GREMALKIN
---------------------------------

Level: 5   HP: ????   Weakness: None   Resistant: None

     Again this is a very easy boss. Use your Bazooka to blast away his 
belly first, then attack his main body. You should have no problem with 
this fight.

*Rewards*

100 exp points and 250 gella

-------------
TOWN OF MERIA
-------------

     After you complete all of the main characters stories you will 
yourself playing as Ashley in the town of Meria. He is still confined to 
quarters from his last adventure. Name his friend Marina and head down 
the stairs and outside.

     Out side the house is Tony and two of his friends, Tim and Scott. 
They will ask you to help them get a treasure of theirs back from a cat 
who stole it and ran up on the roof. Go back up to the second floor of 
the bakery and up the ladder. This part is kind of tricky so be careful. 
Everytime you chase the cat around the roofs in the town it will jump 
across a light pole and get away. There is no way to catch it like this, 
instead talk to the man fixing the hole in his roof. He will tell you to 
chase the cat back around his way. Do as he says and the cat will be 
yours in no time!

     Walk out side with the treasure and Tony and his friends will be 
waiting for you. When you give him the treasure he gives it right back 
to you. You got a CREST CAP! After that Tim walks up to you and gives 
you a Medium!

     After a short scene you will be assigned to the new "special" group 
forming. Head to the SWORD CATHEDRAL, it is located east of Meria.

---------------
SWORD CATHEDRAL
---------------

     You find yourself in a knight ceromony. Every new knight has to try 
to pull the sword out of the stone, when somebody does(which hasn't 
happened yet) a new hero is born. There are eight members of the new 
ARMs, all of who try to pull the sword(including Ashley). No one pulls 
it out.This is where the game really starts. The credits role by.
	
     After the ceromony there is a huge feast, in which you are free to 
walk around. Go talk to everyone then go talk to the commander. When you 
are done talking to him the room will start shaking and fellow ARMs 
members start to turn into monsters! Escape through the only door in the 
room. You and the other survivers soon find out that you are traped in 
the cathedral, then you too turn into a demon.

     *Fight* every battle you possible can! To fight a battle simply 
walk up to a demon. They give good exp points. Continue to walk through 
the cathedral fighting all the battles you can until you reach the room 
with the Guardian Blade. Walk over to it and pull it out of the stone. 
There will be a short scene then you will meet IRVING. He says that him 
meeting you is fate. There is another short scene in which 2 men are 
talking. You find your self back in Meria.

================
NEW PARTY MEMBER
================

     When you walk out of the bakery you will find Lilka. She is very 
hungry, so you bring her inside and feed her. You soon learn that she is 
going to the Valeria Chateau, the same place you must go to thank 
Irving, so you both go together.




 
=============
EMULATOR ZONE
=============

     Once you get of the train you will find yourself in the Emulator 
Zone. The Emulator Zone is a "space" in time/space made by Caina's 
magical key. This level is really just a big maze, check out the MAP 
section of this guide for easy beating.

----------------------------------
SPECIAL COCYTUS SQUAD MEMBER CAINA
----------------------------------

Level: 28   HP: ????   Weakness: None   Resistant: None


     This is the first time you fight Caina. She uses her magical key 
Randolf to preform space/time attacks. She might be a little hard to 
beat since you don't have Brad aanymore, so be careful. 

     Have Ashley attack with his ARMs until he gets enough FP to use 
Access. If you have Tim's skill, First Aid, then use that to heal your 
party every turn. It might also be a good idea to use combine with Lilka 
once or twice.

*Rewards*

3700 exp. points  Can steal a War Respite

-----------------------
EMULATOR ZONE CONTINUED
-----------------------

     After you defeat Caina, you will come to a room with hexagon shaped 
floors. The point of this place is to knock out the Emulator Zone's 
source of power. Walk on a teleporter on a red hexagon that is on the 
out side of the rest. If you do this right you should open a door to 
where the power source is located(Your characters come out and talk), in 
this room you must knock the boxs over the side with Tim's second TOOL. 
There is a different door at each corner of the heagon room.

-----
KANON
-----

     Kanon is tough here so be ready for a hard fight. Let out all of 
your must powerful attacks with Ashley. Have Lilka and Tim heal when 
needed. If you have to, use a heal berry or a big berry, just win this 
fight! Kanon should will eventually loose.

-----------
GUILD GALAD
-----------

     Once the whole mess with the emulator zone is over you will find 
yourself at Guild Galad. There you find out that Odessa was after a 
nuclear weapon that was on the train, not Noel. Now exit Guild Galad and 
call the chateau. They will tell you that Odessa is going after a mine. 
There are two mining towns, Holst and Damzen City. Head to Holst.

-----
HOLST
-----

     Talk to people at Holst. One of them will mention a mine that has 
been closed for quite a while. Get in your hovercraft and go to the 
other side of the island. You will find another beach to the NW of 
Holst. Get off at this beach and head as far north as you can. search 
around to find the abandoned mine shaft.

==================
COFFIN OF 100 EYES
==================

     You find out from Irving that the Alchemic plant was sending power 
to this place. Irving thinks that Odessa is using lost technology and 
must be stopped. You shouldn't have any trouble finding it since you now 
have Kanon on your team.

     This place is pretty straight foward. Just use the Wire Hook to get 
across long gaps. Soon you will come to a room where there is a switch 
surrounded by those small pillars that the Wire hook catches on to. 
Simply throw Ashley's Knife through a gap in them to hit the switch.

     When you get to the room with the gaint gears simply throw Ashley's 
knife at the switches until they are all red. Very, very simple level. 
After this part take the route that goes straight. It will take you to a 
room where you can use the Wire hook to get some chest.

-----------
LIZ and ARD
-----------

     Once again you will have to fight Liz and Ard. Beware though, they 
aren't the wimps they were before. Have Ashley use his ARMs and Kanon 
attack with her most powerful skills. Make sure Lilka heals your party 
members when needed and these guys shouldn't be much of a problem.

*Rewards*

4500 exp. points and 4500 gella
May drop tiny flower x2.

-----------------------------------
ROBOTIC MONSTER ASSASIN ARMS KILLER
-----------------------------------
	
     After you defeat Liz and Ard they send out this guy. He's mean so 
be careful. Have Ashley attack regular until he can use access. Have 
Kanon attack until she can use her most powerful skill. Have Lilka heal 
every turn.

     Once Ashley is turned into Knight Blazer, go all out. He should 
fall in no time at all. Also now is a good time to get Phalanx with 
Kanon. To get it keep using Drive Cut until it sparks.

*Rewards*

5000 exp. points and 5000 gella

5. DUNGEON MAPS
=========================
*************************


     These are simple maps to help you get through some of the confusing 
dungeons in the game. Believe me they help a lot more then you might 
think, especially in places like Glaive Le Gable that can get very 
tricky. If you want a map of a dungeon you are having trouble with email 
me.(see beginning of walkthrough)

-----------------
No Random Battles
-----------------
     This is a little something I picked up while I was playing through 
the game. Simply press the square button when you see a white 
explanation mark above your characters head. This will stop the battle 
before it begins. In a dungeon this will use a tool and on the world map 
it will search for something.

-----------------
Find Hidden Items
-----------------
     Press the square button on the world map to conduct a search. 
Sometimes you will find rare items like lucky cards!
