What is Lunar 2: Eternal Blue (L2)
   Lunar 2: Eternal is a game developed by Working Designs as a
   sequel to Lunar : Silver Star Story, originally released for
   the Sega Saturn, then for the Playstation in 1999.

Do I have to play the first Lunar to understand this sequel ?
   No, not necessarily. This is because the story of Lunar 2 is
   set 1000 years after the first Lunar. But of course it would
   always be better if you've played the first Lunar since you'll
   be able to appreciate the finer details of L2.

Are there bromides in L2 ?
   Yes, there are. We've got a section on how to get them (well most
   of them). That part of the walkthrough is still  under  construc-
   tion.

| Battle tips:
+ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
- When targeting an opponent, it changes color: red, yellow or green
  Red means that the enemy will take less damage. Yellow means  that
  the  enemy will take the fairly normal damage,  while  green means
  the opponent is weak to that attack and will receive a lot of  da-
  mage. Just because a spell has higher casting cost doesn't mean it
  is always powerful than the weaker, earlier learned spells.  An e-
  xample would be the Ghost Manor's boss being vulnerable to  Hiro's
  Boomerang attack rather than his Sword Poe, when the Sword Poe  is
  more powerful (and uses more MP).

- Let Hiro die more often. (Yes, this seems cruel, but) The boss' HP
  in every area is dependent on Hiro's level so make sure that every
  other  character's stats  are close to or, better yet, even higher
  than Hiro's stats. This way, you won't have a very difficult  time
  in fighting bosses if you're the type of player who loves to level
  up before moving on.  Although even fainted characters gain experi
  ence, the ones who run away don't.

- Use more healing items before using up healing magic.  Don't worry
  about using them all up and surviving.  That's why  you're earning
  silver, so you can buy more whenever you need to.  And they're far 
  cheaper  MP recovery items (Star and Silver Light).  And if you do
  run out of cash, you can always level up while making money out of
  defeating enemies in dungeons.

1. Ancient Ruins / Salyan Desert - East Pass / Gwyn's outpost

   ~ Items: Right Sapphire Jewel (Hiro's Haul), Herb, 100 Silver, 
            Ancient Dagger
     Enemies: Dung Beetle, Sand Shark, Sand Cyclops
   > Head home for Gwyn's research outpost.

   [ FMV of Hiro and Ruby digging in the Ancient Ruins ]

   - Hiro is with Ruby in the ancient looking for treasure as always
     when they finally manage to find a treasure. Suddenly, an earth
     quake starts to be felt and you fall deeper into the ruins. You
     end  up in a dungeon and get chased by a lot of flame monsters.
     You escape from  the  dungeon just in time but the  entrance to
     the ruins closes behind you. [ you now gain control of Hiro ]

     Go all the way to the southwest part of the Desert Pass all the
     way south. You'll encounter Leo [ FMV ] onboard the  Dragonship
     destiny. He'll warn you to return to your home and he tells you
     he's headed for Gwyn's outpost. Continue through the pass until
     you reach Gwyn's outpost.

     Once you arrive home (Gwyn's outpost), you'll see that Leo   is
     already there talking Gwyn into helping him by giving any  info
     on  how to get into the  Blue Spire.  After seeing that Gwyn is
     uncooperative, Leo leaves. Once you are alone with Gwyn,  he'll
     tell  you about checking out the Blue Spire because of  what he
     just heard - a rumore about the destroyer coming to Lunar,  and
     connection of the Blue Spire.  You go up the observation tower,
     check the telescope and see that a strange light shines from a-
     bove and both of you sense the urgency to investigate the spire
     at once. Gwyn looks for the item, he claims, that will open the
     entrance to the Blue Spire (Left Opal Jewel).  Then  you're off
     to the Blue Spire.

   ! IF you manage to get through the East Desert Pass without ATTA-
     CKING  any enemy (just run and use herbs), Ruby and  Hiro  will
     have a short chat when you reach Gwyn's outpost. 

2. Blue Spire

   The Blue Spire is made up of 2 sections: a Labyrinth, and the Spi
   re itself.  You need to get past the Labyrinth in order to  enter
   the Spire itself.

   2.1. Blue Labyrinth

   ~ Items: Angel's Tear, Starlight
     Enemies: Mummy, Bandage Boy, Brainpicker, Slime
   > Make your way through the labyrinth.

   - The entrance to the Blue Spire is north of Gwyn's outpost.  You
     will see the Dragonship Destiny hovering close by.  Once you're
     at the entrance of the Spire, Gwyn will place the Left Opal Je-
     wel at the left eye of the Dragonhead statue at  center of  the
     door. [ Walk up to the right eye of the Dragonhead and press  X
     to make Hiro place the Sapphire Jewel ]. The Dragonhead  splits
     and  the entrance to the Blue Labyrinth opens.  Notice the four
     guardian statues. [How evilishly cute!]

   * Once in the Labyrinth, go to all 4 corners and press the blocks
     in each corner. After all 4 blocks have been pressed, the pass-
     ageway  in the north section will form which will allow you  to
     move on. Once in Level B2, enter in all rooms on the 4 corners.
     Note the icons on the floor (Sun, Moon, Star and Mystic). Press
     X  once in front of the vase to place to orb in the vase.  Head
     to the south part of the room once all 4 orbs have been  placed
     in their vases. You're in a huge room with a  hexagram  symbol.
     Walk up to the center then you'll be teleported to the entrance
     to the Blue Spire.      

   - At the end of the Blue Labyrinth is a statue of a guardian next 
     to the garden. Make your way up towards the Spire entrance.

   * It's  recommended that you defeat every enemy in the  labyrinth
     so that you could level up without even trying. By the time you
     are done with level B2, Hiro should have mastered the Sword Poe
     technique, since it takes out the most damaging enemies in  on-
     ly 1 hit.

   * For a  party consisting of a Mummy and Bandage Boys,  defeating
     the  Mummy will automatically cause all bandage boys to die  as
     well.

   * If you're low on HP and MP by the time you've teleported, don't
     worry. There's a statue of Althena just before the entrance  to
     the Blue Spire itself.

   [ you'll be   treated to  a FMV  just  before reaching  the Spire 
     entrance ]

   2.2. Blue Spire

   ~ Items: Healing Nut, 72 Silver, Herb (2), Starlight
     Enemies: Crystal Knight, Bomb Angel, Magic Masque, Slime
   > Go to the top floor of the Spire; find the Transmission Room

   * The Blue Spire is 7 levels high so take your time  raising your
     Hiro's and Gwyn's level by the time you make it to the 7th Flr.
     Hiro's Boomerang and Sword Poe skill is a must have when  figh-
     ting the monsters except for the Slime, which Hiro or Gwyn  can
     defeat in 1 hit.

   - Once you've reached Level 7F, Gwyn will tell you that a  secret
     passage is in this room. [You split up and look for it]. Go  to
     the north part of the room where you'll find a floating  globe. 
     [This is actually the portal to the transmission room]  Go near
     and check it- you'll be teleported to the transmission room.

   2.3. Tranmission Room

   > Meet Lucia

   [ You enjoy another FMV here. Hiro can't help but fall in love w/
     Lucia (at first sight) ]

   - The  girl encased  in the Green Crystal awakens and  introduces
     herself as Lucia. She has come from the Blue Star in  search of
     the Goddess Althena in Lunar in order to fight Zophar, who  she
     says is planning to destroy Lunar. She seems so focused on mee-
     ting Althena that she pays scant notice to Ruby's remarks.  She
     will teleport back you back to the 7th floor of the Spire where
     Gwyn is waiting and worried where Hiro has disappeared to. Upon
     finding out that Lucia is from the Blue Spire, he suggests that
     you all head back to the outpost before Leo finds you.  On your
     way to Level 6F, you'll come across a large group of monsters.

   [ You'll have Lucia in your party.  Now is an even  better chance
     to level up because of her 777 HP and powerful magic.  You  may
     not be able to control her, but she'll make short  of even  the
     toughest foes in the Spire.  Just  because she'll take out  the
     trash  for you doesn't mean that you should go easy.  Watch out
     for your HP and Gwyn's as well. ]

     Once you get rid of the monsters and make your way down to  the
     entrance, Lucia will stop for a moment to try to feel Althena's
     presence.

   * If  you have the luxury of time, you'd might  want  to go  back
     and forth the Spire to level up even more since you'd be saving 
     yourself the trouble of spending MP.  If  you  cross the stairs
     to heal yourself however, you won't be able to go back with Lu-
     cia's unlimited power, since...

   [ Another FMV of Lucia checking out the surroundings ]

     After some conversation within the party, Lucia will ask  where
     Althena is. She'll be answered by Zophar's voice ( the ultimate
     baddy in the game ). She tries to invoke the power of the  four
     Dragons but Zophar says that he has sealed them off. He casts a
     spell that zaps Lucia bad - her HP's down to 1/1 and her  magic
     disappears [see I told you to level up when you had the chance]
     and Gwyn checks her and says that her soul is cursed and if she
     doesn't get treated soon, she'll die.

   [ Come on why not let Lucia die permanently? That would be a real
     eye popper for fans, nyahahahaha. Besides, it would be a  waste 
     of cardboard printing Lucia picture all over the CD covers when
     she'll just die in disc 1]

   [ Now would be a good time to get healed at the Althena statue in
     the  garden, co'z you're  gonna need  it.  Also, if you haven't
     leveled  up to  learn the spells Fractured Armor and  Shattered
     Sword, it's recommended that you do now before moving on. ]

   - Once you cross the garden and make your way to the portal,  you
     will have your "initiation" boss fight. The guardian statue you
     came across has come to life.

   ~ Boss: Guardian
     This boss has 2 physical attacks and 1 magic spell. It will in-
     crease it's  attack and defense status.  The best way to defeat
     boss  easy is to have  Gwyn cast Shattered Sword then Fractured
     Armor  on  the enemy  while have Hiro attack with his Poe Sword
     technique. If Gwyn hasn't learned the 2 spells yet you'd end up
     using all your herbs and starlights [it's recommended that  you 
     save them for better opponents ].

   [ Once  you've  defeated  the guardian, it's recommended that you
     restore  HP and MP at Althena's statue before returning to  the 
     Blue Labyrinth. ]

   - Head back to the Labyrinth. Remember that Lucia's magic is gone
     and technically useless in battle so be in your usual  cautious
     mode. Once you're out of the Labyrinth, you'll be surprised the 
     4 guardian statues have come to life as well. Another fight  w/
     them will ensue [ at this point it seems hopeless, since  figh-
     one alone took quite an effort ]. When one of  your party  mem-
     bers  faint, the battle will stop.  A shot from a  canon   will
     destroy all the guardians.  Surprise surprise, you'll be  saved
     by Leo riding aboard the Dragonship Destiny. If you try to walk
     past Leo, he'll stop you and ask about Lucia and think that she
     is Destroyer of Lunar. But Hiro's quick thinking buys them time
     to get away when he tells Leo that a monster attacked Lucia  at
     the top of the Sphire and that if he hurries, Leo may still  be
     able to stop it. [Return to Gwyn's outpost]

     At the outpost Gwyn looks in the basement for a book that might
     be able to cure Lucia while you (Hiro) stay  with  Lucia  while
     she's down on the couch. She mumbles about coming  to Lunar  to
     save it, not to destroy it. She also says that now that her po-
     wers are gone, the only way to stop Zophar is to find  Althena,
     and to unseal the powers of the four dragons.

     Gwyn returns from the basement with bad news, he can't find any
     cure  in his tomes.  He sends Hiro off to the town of Larpa  to
     find Ronfar who is said to have become once a priest for Althe-
     na. Gwyn stays behind to hold the fort.  He  prepares  the boat
     since Larpa is on the west side of the Salyan Desert. Board the
     boat once outside and set sail west for Larpa.

3. Off to Larpa

   ~ Items: 
        Angel's Tear (back of Althena Statue)

   > Look for Ronfar to have Lucia healed

   * Talk to everyone in Larpa. If you've got around 2000 silver, it
     would help to get weapons. [ If you have less than 2000 silver,
     I suggest you save it for better weapons in the next town since
     the enemies here aren't that strong ]

   * Don't bother donating any silver to the  people  at the  shrine
     since you can have yourself healed at the Althena statue at the
     east side of the town. 

   ! Don't  forget  to  talk to the blue-haired guy in front of  the
     house in east Larpa - the one who keeps on adoring Lucia.   You
     can get Lucia's Bromide 1 from him if you talk to him again AF-
     TER Lucia has been cured and walks off.

   * To move on in the game, go to the tavern and talk to  everyone.
     Then visit the Althena Shrine and talk to the elders.  Then  go
     to the Mayor's Mansion and talk to the mayor. He'll tell you to
     look for him in the tavern. Go back to the tavern and  talk  to
     guy alone at the east side twice. He's Ronfar.  He'll challenge

   [ FMV of Ronfar ]

     you to a game of dice. Accept the challenge. No matter what you
     pick (odd or even), you'll lose. He'll asks you if you want  to
     play again. Decline his offer, then challenge him again.  Lucia
     will  say that she's not feeling well and he'll notice.  Ronfar
     offers to  let  her rest at his place.  He finds a note from an
     old friend saying that he'll visit soon.  Once in the house, he
     gets a visit  from  Leo (yes, that guy in the Dragonship). Ron-
     far  pretends he hasn't seen Hiro and company when Leo asks  if
     he's seen a person matching Lucia's description. Leo leaves and
     says he's in the Althena Shrine if Ronfar decides to  join  the
     Chosen Ones. Ronfar asks Hiro why he believes  Lucia isn't  the
     destroyer Leo claims her to be. He then checks Lucia  and  says
     they'll need to bring her to  the  statue in the Althena Shrine 
     to be able cure her. He opens a secret passageway in his  house
     that leads to the back door in the Althena Shrine.

   3.1 Larpa Pass / Althena/Chosen Shrine

   ~ Enemies: Killer Fly, Ochr Ooze
   > Make your way to the back door of the Althena Shrine

   * This is a short short dungeon, only 2 levels and goes  straight
     up then straight down. You'll end up at a ledge at the  back of
     the Shrine. After jumping down enter the Shrine's back door and
     step  in  front of the statue. Ronfar will try to use his magic 
     again  to cure Lucia. The first attempt fails.  Ronfar suddenly
     gets a flashback of how he lost his dear  Mauri when he  failed
     to use enough magic to cure her. He tries again and succeeds in
     getting her strength back although he says that she's not fully
     cured yet. Exit the shrine through the front entrance and  head 
     back to Ronfar's place.

   [ Now is a good time to get  Lucia's Bromide 1  from the guy with 
     blue-hair on the east side of Larpa. He's in front of a house ]

   * After resting up Hiro finds Lucia gone and Ronfar still asleep.
     Look  for her in town. You'll find her by the dock  beside  the
     small boat (south side). 

   [ FMV of Lucia watching the people in the boat ]

   - Lucia decides that she should part ways with Hiro first if  she
     is to continue her search of Althena. She heads off to the port
     city Dalton. When you walk back to town,  Ronfar comes  looking
     for you and asks where Lucia is.  When he finds out that  she's
     off to Dalton and Hiro is going after her, he joins your party.

4. Salyan Desert West Pass

   ~ Enemies: Desert Dolphin, Poison Beetle, Scorpion
     Items  : 300 silver
   > Go through the pass to get to Dalton

   - The West Desert Pass is between Dalton,  Star Tower and  Larpa.
     You need to cross this straightway from Larpa to get to Dalton.

   * This place is also a good place to level up since you can  have
     yourself healed from either Dalton or Larpa.

5. Dalton Town

   ~ Items: Herb (left of the entrance)
            Star Light (inside a house on the northwest side)
            Dagger (room before reaching the pier)
   > Board the Dragonship Destiny

     Herb                       40

   - When you enter Dalton Town, you'll see Lucia onboard the Dragon
     ship Destiny with Leo and his guards surrounding her. She tries
     to  convince Leo to believe her story and her mission.  Leo or-
     ders his knights to seize her. Lucia defends herself and knocks
     out a couple of his knights.  Leo uses his sword to knock Lucia
     unconscious and orders her to be thrown into the brig.

   [ you resume control of your party ]

   * Still remember me telling you to save up for better weapons  in
     Larpa? Well, now's the time to use them.  It's best if Hiro and
     Ronfar have the best weapon and armor, for the next 3 areas are
     filled with tough monster and it will be a while until the next
     weapon shop.

   * Talk to everyone to learn more about why the goddess statue was
     broken and who did it.

   * Go up to the second level of the town to get to the pier  where
     the Dragonship is docked. 

6. Dragonship Destiny

   ~ Enemies: Private, Captain
   > Rescue Lucia

   - The Dragonship has 4 levels: the  deck, the  1st and 2nd  level
     quarters, and the brig. Unlike most of the areas you've been in
     the game,  you won't be able to avoid the enemies here.  That's
     because they're in the way of the doors you're supposed to go.

   - After  fighting your way to the brig, you'll  find Lucia  being
     questioned by  Leo.  He has her locked up and tells her of  her
     execution the next day. After Leo leaves, walk up to  Lucia and
     free her from the cell.  As you leave, Leo returns to check  on
     Lucia. You hide at a room not far from the cell. While Leo goes
     in  Lucia's cell  to look for clues, Hiro locks Leo up.  Before
     you go up, Ronfar asks that he talk to Leo. After a short chat,
     get  out of the Dragonship the same way you  came in.  Head for
     Pentagulia (notrh through the Starlight and Illusion Forest).

7. Starlight Forest

   ~ Enemies: Green Goblin, Killer Fly, Humming Byrd
   > Go north to reach the Illusion Woods

   * Starlight Forest  is your way through  Illusion Woods.  Enemies
     here to level up.  Midway through this forest is a goddess sta-
     tue. The party will rest up and go on their separate ways.  Af-
     you've gained control of Hiro again, talk to Lucia. Talk to her
     a second time (if she says the same thing, talk to Ronfar first
     ). She'll ask you why you're helping her.  There'll be a choice
     - either answer will get the same reply from Lucia. She'll join
     the party again. Talk to Ronfar to have him join the party  and
     move on to the Illusion Woods.           

8. Illusion Woods

   ~ Items: Herb(4), Star Light, 146 silver, Snake Crest
     Enemies: Hobgoblin, Goblin, Hummingbyrd, Goblin King

   > Make your way through the woods

   - Before  you enter the Illusion Woods, Ronfar will tell you that
     he knows someone who might be able to help get out of the woods
     since  it is  rumored that many people get lost.  He finds that
     friend  at the entrance of the forest and plays a game of  dice
     with him (and wins). The  man will open a path from the bushes,
     and tell you how to get through the woods.

   * Like before, try to defeat every monster in the woods.  Better,
     if you can do so by using magic only for stronger foes.

   - You'll know when you've reached the end of the woods when there
     is a clearing up north. By this time, you must be low of HP/MP.
     Don't use your healing items just yet.

9. Caravan

   ~ Items: Jean's Bromide 2 (from the girl by the wall of vines)
   > Meet Jean; Bathe in the Althena Spring; Save the caravan

   - It's evening when you arrive at the caravan. You hear music and
     see someone dancing to its beat.

   [ FMV of Jean dancing ]

   [ Don't forget to talk to the girl in front of the wall of vines.
     You'll get Jean's bromide 2 from her later. ]

   - After Jean finishes her dance, she'll introduce herself.   Talk
     to Giban, their boss. He'll welcome you most especially when he
     finds  out that you're running from the Chosen ones. Giban will
     explain  that they could not advance further because of a  wall
     of vines blocking the way. He advises that you spend the  night
     with them and continue in the morning. Jean will excuse herself 
     for some air. Follow her at the west part of the clearing where 
     there's a moonlight view. Talk to Jean.  She'll tell you to ask 
     her anything you'd like to know.

   [ There will be three questions presented. Ask all of them ]

     After  answering your questions, she'll be the one to ask you a
     question. Suddenly, the ground in front of Lucia will open  and
     a vine will grab her. Jean instinctively attacks the vine  with
     awesome  karate moves and the vine lets go of Lucia.  Jean asks
     the  party to  forget what they just saw, then Jean returns  to
     the caravan. You retire for the rest of the evening as well.

     (When Jean returns to her room, there'll be a flashback of  how
     Jean learned to fight.)

   9.1 Althena's Spring

   ~ Items: Life Jewel (by the Althena spring entrance)
            Iron Clogs (in the male spring)
   > Take a dip in the nearby Althena's spring (east side of carvan)

     In the morning, Ronfar tells you to go for a dip in the  nearby
     Althena's spring. Hiro goes with Ruby and Lucia. When you reach
     the  spring,  the person by the door reminds you that the  left
     spring is for males and right for females.  Hiro tells Lucia to
     go to the right spring. After some moments of bathing, Ruby and
     and Hiro are surprised when they see Lucia in the nude  walking
     towards them.

   [ FMV of Lucia walking towards Hiro.  I could've  sworn this  was
     one of the reasons why Lunar is a hit. ]

   9.2 Plantella's Lair

   ~ Enemies: Hobgoblin, Goblin King, Hummingbyrd
   > Save the kidnapped performers.

   - When you return from the spring, the ground will shake and  the
     scene shifts to the caravan. The vine that attacked  Lucia  now
     attacks the rest of the performers and grabs most, even  Giban.
     When you  return,  Jean tells you what has just happened.  Hiro
     decides to go down into the hole to go after the source of  the
     vines.

   * Talk to Jean and she'll give you a rope ladder which you'll use
     to go down. Talk to Jean again to convince her to help you. She
     says 'no' but when you start descending the ladder, she'll join
     your party.

   * Jean should prove to be very valuable in your party  since  she
     attacks twice with her fan and her magic attacks are almost  as 
     powerful as Hiro's. It also doesn't  hurt that her attacks  are
     long range.

   - This dungeon has only two levels, the first has three  enemies,
     while the second level is your second boss fight.

   ~ Boss: Plantella
     HP  : approx. 1800 (or 100 x Hiro's level)

   * This boss isn't too tough. Just make sure everybody's HP is  a-
     bove 70 since this boss sometimes throws sneak attacks and will
     knock down any character caught offguard. Ronfar must also have
     enough HP to cast the Calm Litany spell if Plantella decides to
     attack the whole party. Have Hiro use his Poe Sword, while Jean
     her Moth or Bee Dance.

   - Once you've defeated this boss, you return to the caravan where
     everybody  thanks  you for your help.  Talk to Jean  and she'll
     tell Giban that the time has come for her to confront her  past
     and joins your party.

   [ Before moving on, don't forget to talk to the girl by the vine,
     where now the vine has withered, to get Jean's Bromide 2 ]

10. Takkar Village

   ~ Items: Holy Water (below Althena statue)
            Star Light (left sd of house in West Takkar)
            Passion Fruit (back room of tavern)
   > Sign up for the Magic Guild (talk to the hooded girl)

     Vitality Vial              50
     Purity Herb                20
     Herb                       40

   - When you arrive at Takkar village, you'll learn that the  north
     gate is blocked by guards of the Chosen, and that  Leo is still
     looking for Lucia.  Most of the people will tell you  to  steer
     clear of the hooded girl who is recruiting members for the Vane
     Magic Guild. As usual, talk to everyone.

   * If you check the gate before doing anything else in  town,  the
     guards  won't allow  you to pass.  It's best to go and meet the
     hooded girl.

   * Upgrade your weapons and armor. If you're low on cash,  try  at
     least getting the Iron Fan for Jean since Ronfar deals more da-
     mage  with magic attacks and will usually be used to heal  your 
     party more than do physical attacks.

   - The hooded girl can be found at the tavern. Talk to her and she
     will  invite you to join the Magic Guild by taking an  entrance
     test.  Hiro will hesitate to join, so the girl leaves and  says
     she'll be around if you change your mind. If you go outside and
     look for the hooded girl, she's nowhere to be found.

   * At this point, talk with the guard at the gate again. Jean will
     try to convince the guard to let the party pass but fails. Then
     the  hooded girl  will walk towards you and tell you of another
     way to get to Nota without passing through the gate at Northern
     Takkar. It's through the Takkar Mountain Pass on the way to the
     Ghost Manor. She waits for you at the northeast prt of town and
     tells you to talk to her again when you're ready. This would be
     a great time to stock on healing items or upgrade equipment. If
     you're ready, talk to the girl again. She'll open the gate that
     leads to the Mountain Pass.

  10.1 Takkar Mountain Pass

   ~ Items: Purity Ring, Wind Ring
   ~ Enemies: Rufus, Banshee Fowl, Death Worm, Mud Cyclops
   > Head for Ghost Manor

   * Simply  go  through the area, defeating as many enemies as  you
     can. This place is also great for levelling up because you  can
     always heal at the Althena statue in Takkar.

  10.2 Ghost Manor

   ~ Items: Holy Water, 302 silver, Angel's Tear, Star Light (2), 
            Herb
   ~ Enemies: Rolling Imp, Knuckle Buster, Susie Death
   > Pass the aptitude test

   - The Ghost Manor  is a 1-level dungeon with many pathways.  Some
     lead to items. There is only one path leading to the end of the
     manor. The enemies here leave a lot of silver and experience so
     make  sure to  chop up a couple of them.  You'll know you're at
     the end of the manor when you see a path that leads to a carpet
     -covered room. [If you're still able to, save your game first].
     You'll have another boss fight.

   ~ Boss: Magic Tester LX1
     HP: approx 2850 (or 150 x Hiro's level)

   * Hiro's Boomerang, Ronfar's Anger Dice and Jean's fan attack are
     recommended for this boss since they do the most damage. Norma-
     lly,  the attacks of the  enemy are recoverable by herbs.  Only
     when  the springs come off that the enemy starts using  attacks
     damage all members.

   * A good strategy to beat this boss is to use Lucia as bait.  She
     will  either  move back or towards the opponent during  battle.
     When she moves close to the enemy, she is usually  the one  the
     boss attacks. If the boss does attack Lucia, have Jean heal her
     with  herbs or healing nuts.  Use Ronfar to heal her only  as a
     last resort, since his Anger Dice spell deals the boss a lot of
     damage, a whole lot more damage than Jean's normal  fan attack.
     None of the current spells in her inventory deal good damage so
     her fan attack (with the Iron Fan equipped) does around 40 pts.
     of damage. Compared that to Ronfar's Anger Dice spell which can
     go as high as 120 damage is Ronfar rolls 12 on the dice.

   - After beating the Magic Tester, the hooded girl will  introduce
     herself.

   [ FMV of Lemina Ausa's introduction ]

   - She'll  ask you to  become apprentices at the Magic Guild,  now
     that you've passed her "entrance exam".  After reminding Lemina
     of  your quest and that you can't join at this time, she  joins
     your party. Head out of the manor through the door in the north
     part of the room. Go all the way to the left until you  reach a
     cliff. You'll ride in Lemina's carpet going down.  However, she
     loses her concentration and you fall to the ground and Lemina's
     carpet gets stuck up high on a tree. Head for the town of Nota.

   * Lemina's magic is powerful, so powerful that it could  wipe out
     most  enemies in  just one blast.  Of course, the most powerful
     magic also  costs a lot of MP, so  make sure to  use it on  the
     toughest enemies (and the ones that do high damage and has high
     HP).

   * You can't return to the weapon/armor shop in Takkar to stock up
     on healing items, weapons/armor. But you can buy the same items
     from the merchant at the other end of the Takkar gate (north).

  10.3 Bandits Butte
   ~ Items: Shiro Crest, Star Light, Wind Staff
   ~ Enemies: Maneater, Killer Buzz, Parasite, Killer Shroom
   > Cross the mountain to get to Nota

   * Bandits  Butte  is the only area left between you and  Nota, so
     make the most out of levelling up. Next stop, Nota.

11. East Nota East
   ~ Items: Gauss's Necklace (house in west Nota)
            Silver Light (East Nota right of the weapon shop)
            Herb (East Nota, by the bridge)
   > Cross the bridge to West Nota

     Silver Robe               680
     Iron Helm                 150

     Dragonfly Wing            100
     Vitality Vial              50
     Purity Herb                20
     Herb                       40

   - After  talking to the  townsfolk, visit the  leftmost house  on
     East Nota.  Talk  to the  girl who's marrying the mayor of West
     Nota. She'll tell you of the Rememberizer Crystal, an item  w/c
     you'll be getting later in the game.

   [ At this point, it won't matter if you upgrade your  weapons and
     now since you won't be figthing yet ]

     As you make your way to the bridge, the Dragonship Destiny will
     surprise you as you cross the bridge. The West Nota path is now
     blocked by soldiers.  Jean suggests that you  leave town for  a
     while  and check out Madoria carnival to see if Giban's caravan
     is there already. Jean remembers the magic arrow device they've
     been working on and that the party use it fly past Nota.

12. Madoria Carnival

   ~ Items: Holy Water (east side of carnival)
            Angel's Tear (rightmost caravan)
   > Meet with Giban's caravan and ride the magic arrow

   - The Madora Carnival has some games and lots of people.  Be sure
     to  try the  house of giggles as everyone recommends.  If you'd
     want to try and make some money, you can also try your  luck at
     the  house of chance (casino). Giban's caravan is at the  north
     section of the carnival.

   * Don't bother saving up to 10,000 silver just to be able to  bet
     that much on the house of chance [aha you're planning to  use a
     get-rich-quick scheme by loading the game if you lose eh? ] You
     can only wager as much as 50 silver.  Ruby will stop you if you
     try to wager 10,000 silver. At any  rate, it's better to  go to 
     dungeons and fight monsters so you level up  at  the same time.

   - When you reach Jean's caravan, talk to Giban last.  He'll agree
     to  let you use the magic arrow.  Suddenly, Leo and his  guards
     barge in  looking for Lucia. Giban hides you all then  talks to
     them.  After the coast is clear, he suggests that Lucia changes
     into something that's not so noticeable before riding the magic
     arrow. Jean, Lemina and Ruby go to Jean's dressing room (middle
     caravan) to help Lucia get changed.

   [ You now control only Hiro and Ronfar ]

     Giban is blocking the exit so you can't do anything but talk to
     the performers and walk around.  When you're done, walk  toward
     Jean's  dressing room (middle caravan).  Hiro will take a peek,

   [ FMV of Lucia in different clothes ]

     and Ronfar will try to peek too.  Hiro stops his  attempts, and
     they end up crashing in the dressing room. Jean and Lemina kick
     them both out.

   [ FMV of Hiro and Ronfar being kicked out of the caravan ]

     After being scolded, you'll see Lucia in a new outfit.

   [ FMV of Lucia in her new clothes. You'll gain control of  every-
     body again. ]

     Talk to Giban then to the magic arrow operator. When the opera-
     tor  asks you to  get on board the magic arrow, Leo will return
     with the guards and try to stop you.  He blasts the magic arrow
     with  a spell that changes the direction of the  arrow and  you
     are launched to the east of the carnival instead of flying past
     Nota.  You'll  land at the Mystic Ruins.  When you get off  the
     magic  arrow, you'll come across an old portal.  Hiro and party
     are teleported inside the ruins.  Once there, Lucia will try to
     access a panel that has records stored in it.

   [ FMV of Ghaleon / Grinder, the attack on Vane in Lunar SSS ]

     The party will talk about the records they just saw. When Lucia
     asks who it was from, another ghastly voice will  answer.  This
     time, it's not Zohar's.

   [ FMV of Ghaleon Entering ] 

     It's Ghaleon! The main villain of Lunar SSS has returned  after
     1000 years to try and destroy the world again.  He  doesn't at-
     tack.  Just  drops by and disappears, saying that they'll  meet
     again. After Ghaleon disappears, go further into the ruins.

            Star Light(2) (2F), Flame Staff
   ~ Enemies: Persona, Reflector, Masquerade, Dark Knight
   > Find the exit to return to Nota

   - Go inside the ruins and descend to the exit.  You will find the
     monsters here a bit worth fighting since a good number of  them
     leave a  good  amount of experience and silver.  At the base of
     the  ruins is a  fairy garden.  Talk to the fairies  and you'll
     learn that they don't think of Ghaleon as evil. Once you're out
     of the ruins, you'll be at a point between   Nota and  Bandit's
     Butte.

   * One of the enemies you'll fight will drop a Silver Hair Pin and
     a Silver Gauntlet, if you can find them; so don't bother buying
     one, except for the Silver Hairpin. Jean and Lemina can use the
     Silver Hairpin so it's enough to buy only one Silver Hairpin.

   - As you head for East Nota, Leo will block you in the Dragonship
     Destiny. Just as he is about to blast your party with the ship,
     Ghaleon  helps you by zapping the guards and Leo.  Leo's guards
     retreat  temporarily.  Ghaleon disappears, so now  you're  home
     free to head to East Nota. Go through the bridge to get to West 
     Nota and to the town of Zulan.

   * The people in West Nota don't give very useful information,  so
     it wouldn't matter if you just whiz past them.

   * Now would be a good time to upgrade your weapons and armor.

15. Zulan

   > Talk to the Mayor

     Herb                       40

   * The Plate Armor is a unique type of armor  since any  character
     can use it. You don't have to equip it necessarily on Hiro, in-
     stead try equipping it on the character with the lowest defense
     stat.

   - When  you get to Zulan, you'll find that it's snowing.  Talking
     to the people will tell you that the extremely long blizzard is
     caused  by a  monster up in the Zulan mountains, and that  many
     have tried to slay the monster but have failed. Talk to the ma-
     yor and he'll ask you to help them fight the monster. Lucia de-
     cides to go alone since saving the village isn't her mission.

   [ Lucia leaves your party ]

   - If you check the southwest of Zulan, it's the way to Pentagulia
     but because of the monster that's causing the snow the only way
     to move on is to defeat the monster.

  15.1 Zulan Mountains

   > Find and defeat the monster that's causing the snow
   > Find the mayor's daughter

   ~ Items: 2000 silver, Fur Dress (enemy), Healing Nut
            Power Crest, Water Staff, Barrier Ring, Phoenix Ring
   ~ Enemies: Barbarian, Wyburn, Albino Baboon, Razor Wolf

   - The Zulan mountains go all the way up. Each floor is  connected
     by caves. On the higher ground, some of the cave entrances  are
     blocked by ice. Ruby will blast them with her fire breath. Some
     lead to  new   passageways while others lead to monsters.  Make
     your way up to the summit.

   * At this point, (assuming you've upgraded your weapons and armor
     in Zulan), the enemies are definitely tougher now  but leave  a
     lot of silver and experience. Don't hesitate to use the  Escape
     Litany or Dragonfly Wings if you get into a tough spot.

   - When  you  reach the summit of the mountain, an avalanche  will
     knock your party unconscious. When Hiro comes to, he hears  Lu-
     cia's voice. [ Lucia joins your party again ]  After some talk,
     you  find the  rest of the party unconscious.  Have  Lucia heal
     them. When you've all been recovered, save your game if you ha-
     ven't yet. You'll be figthing the monster that's behind all the
     bad weather.

   ~ Boss: Missing Link
     HP: approx 2400 (or 100 x Hiro's level)

   * Despite your upgraded weapons and armor, this beast does consi-
     derable damage. The even worse part about it is that when  this
     furry fiend gets close, its attacks damage multiple party  mem-
     bers. Reposition your party in such a way that Lucia is at  the
     front. This way, the beast will keep on attacking her, and  she
     will counterattack with Napalm Shots.  If you decide to use any
     other  character as  bait, make it Jean or Hiro (since  none of
     their spells cause great damage). Lemina and Ronfar should keep
     their  distance since their attack and healing magic will  make
     things easier for the party.

   * If you're feeling really cruel, have Lemina cast Power Flame on
     your best physical attacker not once, but twice (the  3rd won't
     add up much anymore). That way, the damage dealt will  increase
     dramatically  and you'll have this big ape's head in less  than
     15 turns.   

   - When  you defeat  the monster, you'll find  Maria (the  mayor's
     daughter)  lying in  the snow beside the place where you  found
     the monster. Have Lucia heal her too. You'll find she's got am-
     nesia, so you take her back to village. After leaving Maria  w/
     her father and her baby, you leave for Meribia.

   ! Jessica's  bromide is a  picture of  Jessica de Al Kirk, one of
     the 4 heroes of Lunar SSS.

   - Meribia is the same Meribia in Lunar SSS, except that the shops
     and houses have been relocated. Ramus' shop has also been rede-
     signed, but still shows evidence of the first shop in Lunar SSS
     Nonetheless, much  of the graphics are the same.  After talking
     to the people, visit the karate dojo (formerly Mel's castle).

   * Be sure to pester the old man in front of the counter at Ramus'
     shop to get Lemina's Bromide 2. Only after that can you get the
     3rd Lemina's Bromide. You can find it at the back of the shop.
 
  16.1 Karate Dojo

   > Talk to Master Lunn

   ~ Items: Earth Crest (Dojo), Dagger

   - When you enter the dojo, you'll find Master Lunn training  stu-
     dents. After they attack him and Lunn knocks them all down,  he
     notices the party.  Jean talks with  Lunn and he  asks  them to
     chat in his quarters.  Go up  the 2nd  floor and  talk to  Lunn
     again.  Jean will ask him about the Shadow Dragon Cult.  You'll
     also talk to him about the bandits on Taben's Peak. Lunn thinks
     it's the hideout of the Shadow Dragon Cult.  He then sends  you
     to Taben's Peak to find the bandits hideout.

  16.2 Taben's Peak

   > Look for the bandits hideout.

   ~ Items: Life Jewel, Herb(2), Legendary Lid, Thunder Staff
            Luck Ring, Spirit Mace, Cute Ribbon
   ~ Enemies: Tormentor, Dream Leech, Octo Plant, Magic Hat

   - Taben's Peak is east of Meribia. Note that the west path of the
     mountain  pass is blocked by a wall of spikes.  The only way to
     go is north. When you reach a clearing, you'll see a white fly-
     ing  baby dragon (like Ruby) hide in the bushes.  Ruby will get
     curious  and run after it. After some searching in the  bushes,
     someone grabs her by the wings.

   [ FMV of Nall ]

     Some  mysetrious guy will introduce himself as  Nall.  He warns
     you that you are trespassing if you are on your way to  Taben's
     Peak.  Then he leaves, with Ruby trying to follow him.  You can
     proceed to Taben's Peak.

   * Don't forget to get the items in the hidden chests.

   - Midway  through Taben's Peak, a group of kids will try to  stop
     you from moving on. They'll throw stones, mostly aimed at  Ron-
     far. After that, continue making your way up.  When you reach a
     treehouse  entrance,  you've reached the  hideout.  You realize
     the hideout is actually a kid's hideout, not bandits as rumored
     in Meribia. Another sequence takes over and the party gets cap-
     tured in a net. When you come to, you find yourself in a  cell.
     When you get out, you'll find the rest of the party taking care
     / playing with the kids. Talk to Jean, Ronfar and Lemina. Lucia
     is  talking to Nall in his room.  After talking to the rest  of
     the kids, talk to Nall. His room is one floor up from the  room
     you woke up in (go to the northwest portion of the room).

     After talking to Nall, you'll hear an alarm sound and Nall will
     say that there are unwanted visitors.  When you go outside, the
     kids will tell you that some of them have been kidnapped by the
     Shadow Dragon Cult.  Go to the  balcony to confront them.  Jean
     will talk to their leader (who remembers her), but they escape.

     Nall will  ask you  to help them rescue the children.  He takes
     Lucia "hostage" to make sure that you help them rescue the kid-
     napped children from the Cult.  You'll learn that the cult  was
     last seen at the Meribian sewers. The entrance to the sewers is
     at a door in Ramus' shop (you'll learn this by talking to  Nall
     and the kids). Return to the Meribia.

   * Using the gondola to make it back down is tempting, but now  is
     good time to level up again since around  this time, you  might
     be low on funds to upgrade your weapons/armor.

  16.3 Meribia (Sewers)

   > Rescue the kidnapped dragon kids

   ~ Items: Star Light(3), Steel Shield, Dew Ring, Quake Staff
            Silver Light, Steel Helm, Healing Nut, Silk Dress
            Soul Bandana
   ~ Enemies: Fatal Hopper, Grog Snake, Gunfoot, Ammonia, Assasin

   - Go to Ramus' shop and check the door beside the shopkeeper.  It
     leads to the sewers. The sewer is a series of passages  connec-
     ted by bridges. The bridges are activated by touch panels (they
     are marked blue). Activate them (they turn red) to continue un-
     til you reach a clearing.  You'll find the kidnapped kids  held
     by members of the shadow cult. Their masked leader asks his mi-
     nions to attack you (4 Assasins).

   * It's  best to concentrate physical attacks on one assasin at  a
     time, but use mass-attack magic spells, most especially the
     ones that deal the most damage.

   - After  you defeat them, their leader will escape on a  boat and
     tell  Jean that  they would meet again to fight soon.  Now that
     you've saved the kids, you can go back to Taben's Peak and meet
     Lucia.

  16.4 The Return to Taben's Peak

   > Get Lucia back

   - When you get back to Taben's Peak, you'll find the rescued Dra-
     gon kids at the entrance of  their home.  When you enter,  Nall
     will  come out and thank you.  He'll tell you to get Lucia, now
     you have fulfilled your promise of saving the dragon kids. Look
     for  Lucia at the  terrace (where the cult kidnapped the kids).
     After a short sequence, she'll join your party again. Nall will
     tell you that  the wall of spikes blocking the way to  Vane has
     been lifted already. Continue east to the magic city of Vane.

17. Magic City of Vane

  17.1 Tranmission Spring / Cave of Trial

   > Enter Vane through the Cave of Trial
   ~ Items: Mia's Bromide (from the guy with the staff)
            Theives' Staff (in the cave of trial)

   ~ Enemies: Giga Wasp, Death Shroom, Bat Knight

   ! Mia's Bromide is a picture of Mia Ausa, one of the  four heroes
     during Lunar SSS. The  picture suggests that she has aged.  Mia
     looks like Lemina, except that Mia has black hair while  Lemina
     has blond hair.

   - When you reach Vane for the first time, Lemina's Aunt will come
     running  to tell Lemina that Borgan has come to visit her  mom.
     As  your party tries to enter the city, the entrance is blocked
     by Borgan's elite guard. No matter what you do, they won't  let
     you in. Lemina suggests that you try enter the city through the
     Cave of Trial.

   ! The Cave of Trial used to be a place in Lunar SSS which  served
     as a testing area for those who wanted to join the magic guild.
     No physical attacks could be used.  Now, it's just another dun-
     geon.

   * There's no way to get lost in this dungeon. All other paths are
     blocked by boulders. Note the chest located beside the exit. If
     you haven't been inside Vane yet, Lemina won't allow you to  o-
     pen the chest. Come back for it later.

   - The  exit of the cave of trial is inside Vane, so the  only way
     out is through it also. Talk to everyone then go to the library
     to read up on the history of Vane, etc. 

   * Don't forget to look for Lemina's Bromide 1. It's in the Poetry
     Book at Lemina's collection at the east part of the Library.

   * The Smash Saber at the weapon shop may be tempting but the Rune
     Sword  is a  more recommended  choice because  its raises stats
     other merely the attack stat.

   - Head for the Magic Guild at the North part of the city.  You'll
     meet Lemina's mother, Miria and the black  wizard Borgan  who's
     just dropped by to pick up Lemina's mother to let her rule Neo-
     Vane. When you talk to Borgan a second time, he'll cast a spell
     that teleports Miria to Neo-Vane. Lemina is enraged and demands
     Borgan return her mother, but instead threatens  her and  tells
     her to go to Pentagulia if Lemina wants to see her mother.  Le-
     mina runs to the rooftop of the guild.

   * When Lemina leaves you, you now have a chance to read her diary
     in her room. It's on the table. You still can't open any of the
     item chests. You can't read Lemina's  diary when  Lemina  joins
     you again.

   - Follow Lemina to the rooftop and talk to her. There'll be choi-
     ces of reply from Hiro (won't  affect  the game's ending) as he
     tries to cheer her up.  After some more talk,  you'll decide to
     help Lemina rescue her mother. Next stop is the port town of A-
     zado.

 17.3 Sluice Forest

   > Make your way to Azado

   ~ Items: Vigor Ring, Star Light, Warrior Crest
   ~ Enemies: Giga Ant, Flytrapper, Killer Wasp, Bloodbyrd

   - Sluice Forest is the shortest forest-type dungeon, but the ene-
     mies are definitely going to make you keep on using healing  i-
     tems if you're not careful. Don't use healing items though.  It
     isn't far until the next Althena statue so you spend all the MP
     you want.

18. Water Ruins

   - At the end of the Sluice forest is  the Water  Ruins.  When you
     get there however, the water is  too high and the  flood  gates
     would open the following morning, so Lemina  suggests that  you
     make  camp for the evening and continue your  journey the  next
     day.

     In the middle of the night, Hiro wakes up to find Lucia missing
     from her sleeping bag. Hiro searches for her, and finds  her in
     the lake going for a swim.

   [ FMV of Hiro spying on Lucia in the lake ]

     Next morning, you'll notice that the water level has dropped so
     you can continue travelling all the way to Azado.

     Herb                       40

   - When you talk to the people in town, you'll notice that they're
     half-scared  over something, and that  the town is  run by  the
     Chosen of Althena. Also, you'll learn that your  friend in  the
     shrine (the high priest) has been evicted from his post. Notice
     the boy standing guard on the door of the house with a red roof
     (this is where you'll be heading later).

     After talking to the townspeople,  head for the  shrine at  the
     north part of town. You'll be awed at the  size of the  Althena
     statue of this town (it takes more than a screen to see).  Talk
     to the priest by the statue (your old friend).  You'll find out
     that the high priest has been changed and is now retired at his
     home in Azado.  Go and visit him.  Look for the house  with the
     kid blocking the entrance. Talk to the Porom (the kid) then the
     former high priest, Balse will come out and invite the party in
     his house.  After hearing of the things that has been happening
     in town, he offers you to spend the  night at his  place  while
     waiting for the boat to Pentagulia.

     In the middle of the night you leave Balse's house to catch the
     ship bound for Pentagulia. Since it's dark, you just get on the
     biggest boat you see on the  port.  When you get on board,  you
     start to feel that you've been in the same boat  before.  Then,
     you  hear Leo's voice - surprise you're  aboard the  Dragonship
     Destiny! This time however, the Leo's guards capture you. While
     Leo is about to pronounce judgement on Lucia,  flame starts  to
     rain on Azado. Ronfar warns Leo that the chosen is behind this,
     and Leo starts to listen and decides to investigate for himself
     so he joins your party.

   [ Lemina, Lucia and Jean are left behind while Leo joins you ]

     At this point, head back to Azado.
 
  19.1 Azado Barbeque

   > Save the burning town; make your way to the shrine

   ~ Enemies: Inferno Ghoul

   * Leo is  definitely powerful, even more powerful than  Hiro,  so
     make  sure to  put him to good use, most especially his  magic.
     An Althena statue is in town, so go back and  forth and  defeat
     the monsters while healing for free in between battles.

   - As you fight your  way into  town, you'll find Porom  trying to
     keep his dad conscious. Ronfar will heal him and ask what  just
     happened.  After Leo hears Balse's story, he suggests that they
     go to the shrine right away, which is where you're going next.

  19.2 Althena Shrine

   > Stop the source of the flame raining on the town

   ~ Items: Star Light, Healing Ring, Healing Crest, Healing Nut,
            Silver Light
   ~ Enemies: Dieclops, Flight Knight, Nipple Yanker, Electro Eye

   - Go to the 2nd floor of the shrine.  You'll see 5 priests  chan-
     ting a spell that's causing the fire to rain on Azado. When you
     try to talk to them, you'll notice that they don't seem to  no-
     tice you. Leo suggests that you find the real source of the ma-
     gic. Make your way to the top of the shrine, where you'll fight
     another boss.   

   * This  "dungeon" is definitely worth attacking  all enemies  be-
     they leave a lot of experience although they don't  leave  much
     silver behind. Don't be too spell-happy with Leo,  since you'll
     be needing it for the boss.

   * Before you reach the top of the tower, if you've  still got  e-
     nough HP and MP to make it back up and take on a boss,  go down
     to the right side of the stairs to get the 2 items (the Healing
     Ring and Healing Crest).

   Boss: Flame Fang
   HP  : approx. 4900 (or 140 x Hiro's level)

   * This bird is a tough opponent, and it deals a lot of damage, on
     a single party or on the whole party. Since Leo has the highest
     HP, it would be best to use him as bait (by making him use phy-
     sical attacks). His magic spells do a lot of damage too but the
     physical attacks have a probability of inflicting critical  da-
     mage compared to magical attacks, so it's better to use  physi-
     cal attacks with Leo.  Have Hiro use Sword Poe,  which still is
     the most damaging spell he's got. Have Ronfar on standby to use
     Calm Litany in the later turns of the battle.  On the start, it
     would  be  good to cast Saint Litany on each member, this  will
     make sure that every member has enough HP to survive a pre-emp-
     tive attack.  If  Hiro or  Ronfar is low on MP, have  Hiro  use
     Star Light to recover a few. Whatever happens, don't let Ronfar
     run out of MP for healing magic, since it would be more  costly
     to revive a character than to just heal.

   - After defeating this boss, head back to the Dragonship Destiny.
     Leo, instead of killing Lucia, will cut the girl's ropes loose.
     Suddenly, Mauri, the red priestess of Althena (and Leo's sister
     ) will appear and try to destroy Lucia herself. Ronfar tries to
     talk to Mauri (still remember the girl in the flashback at Lar-
     pa?).  Mauri remembers him, but does not change her  mind about
     killing Lucia. Leo stops her and says that he would be the  one
     to take her to see Althena. Mauri disappears, saying that  they
     would meet again in Pentagulia.  You then set sail for Pentagu-
     lia.

   - Leo has allowed you access to all places in the Dragonship Des-
     tiny. Talk to Ronfar, Lemina and Jean. They'll tell you to look
     for Lucia. You'll find her at the deck of the ship. Talk to Lu-
     cia (Hiro will ask Ruby to leave him for a while).

   + Expecting Lucia to sing ? Don't keep your hopes up. You must've
     too much of Lunar SSS.

   [ FMV of Hiro talking to Lucia ]

   - After talking to Lucia, you've reached Pentagulia.

20. Pentagulia

   > Meet Althena at the shrine

   + There are 5 major locations in Pentagulia: the shrine, the blue
     , black, red, and white towers.  Leo  stays at the White tower,
     Mauri at the Red Tower, Borgan at the Black Tower, and  Lunn at
     the Blue Tower.

   - When you get to Pentagulia, Ghaleon appears and present himself
     as the  new dragonmaster.  You'll wonder what he's doing there.
     He knows that you've come to seek an audience with Althena.

   [ FMV of Ghaleon ]

   - Leo then  leaves you to arrange an audience with  Althena.

   [ You'll gain control of Hiro and Lucia only ]

   - Talk to  Jean, Lemina and Ronfar,  and they'll be off on  their
     own business. Jean will meet Master Lunn at the Blue Tower, Le-
     mina will meet Borgan at the Black Tower, and  Ronfar will meet
     Mauri at the Red Tower. Leo is at the shrine waiting for you so
     the White Tower is locked. Head for the shrine.

    - At the shrine, go up the flight of stairs to the main hall 
     where you'll finally get to meet Althena.

   [ FMV of Althena ]

   - She may look like the real Althena, but Lucia senses that she's
     a fake, so she tries to blast her with a spell. Ghaleon however
     protects Althena and blasts Lucia with a spell of his own.  She
     is knocked unconscious.  You are  taken to a cell in the  White
     Tower. After a few moments of talking to Ruby,  Leo will appear
     (obviously) disguised in a mask and will call himself  Mystere.
     He sets you free and joins you to help free Ronfar, Lemina, and
     Jean. Leo tells you that the 4 towers are connected underground 
     via passageways, so make your way to each tower  and save  your
     friends.

   * There is no correct order to freeing your party. It's recommen-
     ded  however that you free Ronfar first  so that you'll  have a
     healer in your party.  The  Althena statue is always  there for
     free healing, although it's kind of frustrating to go keep  go-
     ing back and forth the statue just to heal.

   The 4 Towers:
   ~ Enemies: Corp. Crusher, Sgt. Slaughter
              Flame Reaper, Flash Lord, Black Mage
              Assasin, Mercenary
              Flame Reaper, Gargoyle, Dark Sorcerer, Flash Lord

   20.2 White Tower
   > Go to the other 3 towers
   ~ Items: Healing Ring, Platinum Blade, Life Jewel (White Tower)
   - This is where you'll start after Leo  frees you and joins  you.
     Fight  your way out of the tower and  heal up at the  junction.
     Don't have yourself healed at the statue which charges 100 S.

   20.3 Red Tower
   ~ Items: Silver Light, Hellfire Staff
   - When you free  Ronfar, he'll tell  you his story.  While he was
     talking to Mauri, she starts to have memories of her past  when
     she becomes under Zohar's control and disables Ronfar.

   20.4 Black Tower
   ~ Items:Jewel Gauntlet, Ritual Hairpin
   - Lemina learns that Borgan has her mother under a spell which he
     also plans to use on her eventually.  Borgan then casts a spell
     which knocks Lemina out.

   20.5 Blue Tower
   ~ Items:Jewel Gauntlet, Ritual Hairpin
   - If you haven't guessed it yet, when Jean shows the mask to Lunn
     he wears it and admits that he is also the master of the Shadow 
     Dragon Cult (who taught Jean her karate long ago). Lunn attacks
     Jean with a quick blow which also knocks her unconscious.

   - After rescuing all the party members,  Leo/Mystere will  leave.
     When you go down one floor from the place where you  have freed
     the last party member,  Leo will appear (now without the mask).
     He joins you again and tells you of the hidden exit in the  un-
     derground passageway. When you get out of the tower you're cur-
     rently in, head for the Althena statue at the north center part
     of the passageway and inspect it. The statue will split and you
     will be able to pass through it.  (Don't worry, you  can  still
     heal yourself by touching the statue).

     When you get out of the passageway, you'll find yourself in the
     secret chamber in the palace where Lucia is being held.  You'll
     eavesdrop  on the fake  Althena and Ghaleon.  You'll learn that
     something  bigger's really going on that Leo doesn't  know, and
     that the other three heroes are somewhat involved in it too.

   [ Leo then leaves the party to investigate on his own ]

     After Ghaleons' speech, they leave Lucia bound to the wall.  Go
     to that room through another secret passage (you can easily see
     it). Hiro frees her and Lucia insists that the goddess  Althena
     is locked up somewhere in Pentagulia so you search for the hid-
     den tower (yes, there is a fifth tower). Go to the 2nd floor of
     the shrine (the front terrace of the floor where Leo showed you
     to Althena).  Lucia will insist that the water below is just an
     illusion and so she jumps off. You all jump after her. You find
     yourself in front of the fifth tower - the goddess tower hidden
     magically.  When Lucia tries to  open it, she  finds it sealed.
     The fake Althena,  Ghaleon, Lunn, Mauri and Borgan appears  and
     surrounds your party.  Just as they are about to blast you, the
     White dragon wings Nall gave you lights up and you are telepor-
     ted back to Taben's Peak. Then you'll hear Zohar gloat again.

21. The Restoration of the White Dragon 

  21.1 Taben's Peak

   > Learn about the Dragons and how to unseal their powers
   - When you teleport safely to Taben's Peak, Nall awaits.  Talk to
     him and he'll tell you the story of how his  dragon  power  was
     taken away from him (Lunar SSS fans will appreciate the 1000 yr
     plot continuity).  Now that the power of the dragon are sealed,
     you're  going to have to collect them one by one.  The first is
     the White Dragon Essence, which Leo has. Then one of the Dragon
     kids report that the Dragonship Destiny is docked  just  beside
     Vane.  Now  would be  good time to talk to  Leo and ask for the
     white dragon essence.

  21.2 Dragonship Destiny

   > Get the White Dragon Essence from Leo
   - Board the Dragonship which is docked beside Taben's Peak.  Talk
     to Leo. He then asks Hiro to fight him on one.

   ~ Boss: Leo
     HP: approx 800

   * Just keep on using your Sword Poe technique on Leo, and  if you
     run low on HP, use a powerful healing item (i.e. a  Healing Nut
     or a Passion Fruit) so that you could concentrate on  attacking
     Leo instead of using every turn to heal yourself.

     He then gives you the White Dragon Aura    in order to be  able
     to break the seal at the  White Dragon Cave.  That where you're
     off to next. He teaches Hiro how to control the Dragonship then
     he leaves to investigate on his own (actually, he feels disgus-
     ted that he's been supporting the cause of fake Althena). White
     Dragon  Mountain is Northwest of  Taben's Peak.  When you see a
     large pile of Icebergs, you're close.

  21.3 White Dragon Cave

   > Obtain the power of the White Dragon
   ~ Items: Starlight, Snake Ring, Endurance Ring, Chiro Crest,
          Wind Crest, Angel Ring, Ice Staff, Vitality Vial  
   ~ Enemies: Shiro Mongrel, Mecha Star, Yeti, Mutant Fly
              Chiro Mongrel

   - This dungeon is 6 levels high with breakable  iceberg sections.
     If you can make the Yeti enemies move toward the iceberg walls,
     they might break it, allowing you to get through via shortcuts. 

   * This dungeon is definitely MP consuming if you're going  spell-
     happy so it's best to refrain from using magic attacks. Save it
     for later.

   - At the end of the dungeon you'll see the White Dragon but Lucia
     will sense another evil presence coming from the dragon. You're
     in for another boss fight.

   * Boss: White Fiend
     HP: approx 4200 (or 120 * Hiro's level)

   * This boss can pump up its stats by invoking a spell. You'll see
     a pentagram form from underneath it.  When that happens, you'll
     see an  icon at  the lower right section of the screen.  That's
     element  strengthened by the spell.  The best option is to have
     Lemina cast Dispell Magic immediately after it pumps itself up.
     That way, the fake white dragon will try to cast the spell over
     and over again while you have your sweet time kicking butt.

   - When you're done, the wall blocked by the fake dragon opens and
     you'll get to meet the real white dragon.  You'll see Nall wai-
     ting for you. After throwing the  White Dragon Aura to him,  he
     will  change to  his original White Dragon form.  He then gives
     you an  item, the White Dragon Crest, which enables White  Dra-
     gon protect on whoever equips it. He gives you info on where to
     find the locked-up Blue Dragon and Lunn  who is currently guar-
     ding it (in Horam).

22. The Restoration of the Blue Dragon

  22.1 Horam Village

   > Visit the master of the Blue Dragon Fist dojo

   ~ Items: Protection Ring, Herb, Life Jewel, 
            Blue Pajamas (2nd flr of house on right)

     Warrior Crest            4000
     Power Crest              3500

   - When you get to Horam, visit all dojos. There's a tournament to
     be held in the Zen Zone (southeast of Horam) where Lunn is com-
     peting in. However, when you visit the Blue Dragon dojo, you'll
     find  out that  Lunn has revealed himself as the  leader of the
     Shadow Dragon cult, and that he has been disowned by the  dojo.
     The current master  Wong-Lee is  too old to fight, so  Jean vo-
     lunteers to enter the tournament.

   [ FMV of Jean donning the Blue Dragon uniform ]

   - After Jean changes into the dragon uniform,  Wong Lee will give
     you a  tournament invitation.  Now you can enter the tournament
     in the Zen Zone, which is south of Horam.

  22.2 Tournament (Zen Zone)

   > Fight Lunn at the tournament

   ~ Enemies: Wolf Guard (1st), Flash Ninja (2nd), 
              Shadow Assasin (3rd)

   ~ --- Man selling items in the tournament ---
     Angel's Tear             1000
     Vitality Vial              50
     Holy Water                100
     Purity Herb                20
     Healing Nut               200
     Herb                       40
     Protection Ring          3200
     Charm Crest              3000
     Dream Crest              3000

   - Show  the  invitation to the guard and he'll let  you in.  You,
     Ronfar and Jean will compete while Lemina and Lucia will watch.
     You'll  fight three matches.  To start the matches, talk to guy
     beside the ring. Lunn is watching from his throne at the  north
     part of the ring.  Although you can talk to him now, just  talk
     to him when you've the final match (if you survive, that is).

   * Since the tournament opponents have usually high stats and high
     HP,  the best way to survive without using healing items is  to
     concentrate your strongest attacks at one opponent at a time so
     the opponents damaging you will decrease every combat round. Do
     remember that you can always heal yourself at the  Althena sta-
     tue before every match, so don't bother wasting healing items.

     You'll fight 3 teams, the third being the Shadow Assins (Shadow
     Dragon Cult).  Once you've won all three matches, talk to Lunn.
     Jean will fight him alone.

   Boss: Master Lunn
   HP: Approx 2000

   * Since Jean will be figthing Lunn alone, you don't have a healer
     in your party.  So have plenty of  Healing Nuts ready  whenever
     you run low on HP.  You don't  have to heal yourself when  your
     HP goes below 50%.  Observe his attacks. His most damaging  at-
     tack is when he makes a cat stance. This does about 120+ damage
     while the rest only do around 60 pts.  After every 4th turn, he
     heals  himself  (for an amount of HP around 10 x Jean's level).
     Using  this  pattern, you've got a free turn to attack him  w/o
     worrying about getting damaged  by him.  If you have the Seal &
     Warrior crest, you can opt to equip these two crests since this
     raises  your attack power to more than 100%.  Don't worry about
     not  being able to use your Blue Dragon attacks because  you'll
     eventually run of MP using them so you'll waste a Star Light if
     you  need to  keep on sustaining that amount of damage.  Unlike 
     the Warrior + Seal crest combo, the attack is more than doubled
     (although  you can't  use any magic, Jean doesn't have  healing
     magic anyway so it won't help to let her use techniques/magic).

   - Once  you've defeated Lunn, he'll come back  to his senses  and
     give you the Blue Dragon Aura. You can now free the Blue Dragon
     at the Blue Dragon Cave (East of Horam).

  22.3 Blue Dragon Cave

   > Obtain the power of the Blue Dragon

   ~ Items: Hurricane Staff, Holy Water, Anti-Magic Ring, 
            Revenge Crest, Angel's Tear, Angel Ring, Plasma Ring,
            Gold Hairpin, Starlight
   ~ Enemies: Tiger Shark, Doom Rigger, Scurvy Slug, Water Elemental
              Aqua Assasin

   - Unlike the  White Dragon Cave, there are no shortcuts.  Just go
     up and make your way to the 7th level of the cave. 

   ~ Boss: Blue Fiend
     HP: approx 150 x Hiro's Level / average difficulty

   * Hiro's Sword Poe, Jean's Blue Dragon Palm and Lemina's Cremato-
     rium work best against this foe. Just like the White Fiend,  if
     you see it posing for a stat-raising spell, have Lemina use Di-
     spel magic at it. It's also best to spread you party since  the
     Blue Fiend has a very powerful linear attack. Whatever happens,
     keep Ronfar alive since only he has the healing spells.

   - When you've defeated the fiend, head for the cavern it was blo-
     cking.  You'll get the Blue Dragon crest from the  Blue  Dragon
     once you've awaken it. Your next move is to free the Black Dra-
     gon whose dwelling is south of the Blue Dragon cave.

     1. Hiro - The main character of the story. Young Hiro's 
        curiosity to learn the secrets of Lunar's past is what
        drives him in his constant adventures with Ruby in 
        the Ancient Ruins and other dangerous places. 
        [ likened to Alex of Lunar SSS]

     2. Lucia - The main female character of the game. A mysterious
        girl who claims to have come in search of the goddess  Alth
        ena. She comes from the Blue Star and needs to find Althena
        in order to stop Zophar from the destroying Lunar.
        [ likened to Luna of Lunar SSS]

     3. Ruby - Hiro's er.. sidekick. Claims to be a baby red dragon.
        After meeting Lucia she gets jealous of her towards Hiro. In
        battle she helps randomly by scratching or breathing fire on
        the enemies.
        [ likened to Nall of Lunar SSS ]

     4. Ronfar - He was a priest of Althena, until he failed to save
        Mauri, his love, from a curse which took her life. Eversince
        then he refused to use magic and now spends time in taverns,
        winning people's money. After meeting Hiro and saving Lucia,
        he decides to give himself another chance at using his magic
        to help others.
        [ likened to Jessica of Lunar SSS in terms of healing magic,
          but also to Kyle in terms of appearance.]

     5. Jean - A fan dancer at a carnival, they travel from place to
        place to perform. Her skill as a dancer  masks her  fighting
        prowess which comes from a dark past.  When presented with a
        chance to use her figthing skill to help others,  she  looks
        that ghost of the past face to face.
        [ likened to Kyle of Lunar SSS in terms of physical attacks,
          but also to Jessica in terms of appearance.]

     6. Lemina - Lemina Ausa is the junior primere at the Vane Magic
        Guild. She has a penchant for making money from everyone she
        meets.  Her  magic is  so powerful  that it makes up for her
        persistence in making a quick buck.
        [ likened to Mia Ausa of Lunar SSS ]

     7. Nall - This mysterious boy shows up at Taben's Peak claiming
        to be the guardian of the Dragon Kids.  He is  actually Nall
        from the past (1000 years ago) who's turned human. His White
        dragon essence.

        [ Nall of Lunar SSS ]

     8. Lunn - Master of the Blue Dragon Fist. He is also one of the 
        Four  Heroes and is the  overseer of  Meribia.  However, be-
        

     9. Borgan - The Black Wizard Borgan is the creator of Neo-Vane,
        and  perhaps  the most powerful wizard in all of Lunar.  The
        Black Dragon is his source of magic,  making him the  potent
        wizard he is.

    10. Mauri - The Red priestess Mauri is Leo's sister.  She  draws
        upon the  power of the Red Dragon, which helps her  to serve
        the goddess Althena. Before she became a priestess, she  was
        in love with Ronfar, and the two were supposed to be married
        until an event in the past made things turn bad for the two.

    11. Ghaleon - The Magic Emperor of the first Lunar is back  with
        a vengance. After mysteriously surviving all these 1000 yrs,
        he returns with plans to save/rule the world. Question is...
        who's side is he on ?
