Section I: Version Notes
-----------------------------------------------------------

Version 0.0- Started making this guide. Formed it, shaped 
it, and herewego.

Version 1.0- The Version originally released to 
www.wrothradio.cjb.net and www.gamefaqs.com. It includes up 
to the end of the first town on both the walkthrough and 
the script.  

Version 1.05- The next version. In this version I have gone 
up through the Inor Mountains, Agear town, and am now in 
the second level of the Durham Cave. Enemies list is 
growing, item list still not there, and the story of the 
game now being added. More to come in Version 1.2, which 
will hold past Agear. This is basically a minor update with 
formatting and such. 

Version 1.5- I am still not at version two. Bah. Version 
two will be up to and including all of part four. In this 
semi-update I included the rest of the Durham cave, most of 
the baked plains, some minor formatting, and some addition 
to the "About the Story" section. Enjoy until we meet the 
tongue and version two is here!

Version 1.55- A tiny bit more added. I added the third boss 
battle and story stuff along with random formatting. The 
main purpose was to include the copyright notice, which I 
desperately need. 

Version 2.0- This is the version I was aiming to get to. 
This includes all of town three ( Liligue ) up to the 
skyway. Perfect. A day ahead of schedule. 

Version 2.5- Wow, this isn't where I wanted to update but 
it is badly needed. This is up past the first trek through 
the mysterious fissure. 3.0 will have all of town four. 

Version 2.55- A badly needed update. This contains the 
walkthrough UP TO THE EYE, the newly added special moves 
section, a promise of a map, more story, and random fun. 
The next update, since I promised a big one, will go up to 
the Granas church itself. I push through the eye. 

Version 2.56- Resend with new stuff

Section III: Notes From the Field
-----------------------------------------------------------


Well, look who is writing another guide. Yes, it is I, 
Wroth. I was originally going to do one on Shenmue or 
Daggerfall ( PC ) but I changed my mind. What changed my 
mind, may you ask? Well, it was one thing, the great game 
that was Grandia II. I just finished playing it ( as I 
write this on the verge of the new year ) and I love it to 
death. I was enchanted by this game, as its story enveloped 
my soul from the start and did not let go. 

But Ben, I thought you only did Survival Horror games. Yes, 
I said this many months ago, how ignorant of me. I only 
will write for games that I truly love, and I believe this 
games falls into that category. I enjoyed every second of 
playing this game, and I do not regret any minute of it ( 
maybe my studies will though ). 

I would also like to address one specific format for this 
guide, the script. I have had some complaints that this is 
just filler and has no value. I disagree 100%. Filler is 
something that takes little effort to do and is generally 
worthless. This script represents the heart and mind of 
every character who you cross in the game and provides 
valuable insight into the actions of the characters. Often 
the script also hints at events in the game ( foreshadowing 
even ) and gives you useful information. Please do not bash 
what I am trying to do with this experience and try to 
appreciate the hard work I put in by reading it once and a 
good while. Basically this is a documentation of an 
excellent game with a walkthrough combined. I wish you to 
enjoy. Thank you. 

Please enjoy this guide, as I went to a good deal of 
trouble writing it. If you have any questions, please feel 
free to email me at my email address which I posted at the 
top. I will answer as much as I can. 

-----------------------------------------------------------
Section IV: Characters
-----------------------------------------------------------

Please Note: I will not spoil anything in this section, 
this section describes what you know of the characters 
before any plot twists.

Ryudo ( 17 male )- A geohound, Ryudo at first is a 
mercenary who takes random jobs for money. He has one 
friend in the world, a bird named Skye, who is around 40 
years old. Ryudo has lived on his own since he was 13, when 
he left his town of Garlan after a terrible incident of 
which he refuses to speak. However, his past might come 
alive when he takes a job from a father of Granas in the 
town of Carbo

Skye ( 40 bird )- Skye is a bird. He has been with Ryudo 
for four years, since Ryudo left his town of Garlan after 
an incident. They are the best of friends ( although they 
may seem like two old ladies bickering at times ), and they 
work together, gathering money by taking various odd tasks. 
He can talk and often uses his wisdom to guide Ryudo in the 
correct direction.

Elena ( 17 Female )- Elena is a songstress of Granas, who 
is based in the town of Carbo. She is a sweet young girl 
without an evil thought in her heart, and when she 
initially meets Ryudo, she despises him. However, will her 
beliefs change as they are unwillingly put together in a 
group for the sake of Granas at the request of Carbo's 
minister?

Millenia ( Unknown Female )- Millenia is a mysterious lady, 
who appears out of nowhere to "greet" Ryudo. She has wings, 
strangely enough. What will come of this mystery, will she 
be feared like the father in Carbo is of her, or will she 
become part of a journey? Only time will tell. 

Roan ( 13 Male )- Roan is a young man traveling with a 
group of circus like performers. He is very energetic and 
has a heart of gold. All he wants is to be happy it seems 
and honor his mother's memory. That is partially the reason 
he and Ryudo come into contact. Will this young heart of 
gold help our hero, or does a darker path await?

Tio ( Unknown Automata )- Tio is an automata, or robot. She 
was created by unknown individuals from an age long past. 
She is unsure of what it means to be human and she is 
constantly striving to discover the humanity within her 
metal frame. Will she? Who is to say.

Mareg ( Late 30's Male )- Mareg is a beast man from a 
continent far to the east. He holds a deep grudge for 
Ryudo's brother ( who will be discussed next ). Who 
apparently did something terrible to the village of Mareg. 
Will Mareg get his revenge, or will he fall to

Melfice ( 22 Male )- The supposed wicked brother of Ryudo, 
Melfice and Ryudo had a "falling out" of sorts in Garlan 
which lead to Ryudo running away. Will Ryudo be able to 
help Mareg track down his long lost brother?

Pope Zera Innocentius ( 58 Male )- The pope of the church 
of Granas, Zera has a pure heart and soul and is constantly 
aiding those he meets. However, a recent surge of darkness 
has fallen over the land and Zera is fretting over this 
sudden change. Will Zera be able to use his holy powers to 
aid Ryudo? Possibly

Selene ( 23 Female )- A high-priestess of Granas, Selene 
commands the holy knights of Granas. She uses her authority 
to conduct inquisition like parades over the kingdom in an 
attempt to scour darkness from the land. Will she succeed?

-----------------------------------------------------------
Section V: Controls
-----------------------------------------------------------

Field Controls are the ones you will really need:

Analog Thumb Pad- Move the character at a walk/run pace 
depending on how far you move the pad.

Directional Pad- Walk the character in the direction of 
your choice. If you add the B button, you will be able to 
run as well. 

A Button- The A button will be your main button. With it 
you will be able to investigate areas, pick up items, talk 
to characters, execute certain activities, etc.

Y Button- Using the Y Button changes the compass 
destination. 

L/R Buttons on Back- Rotate the camera. If you pull the 
left trigger, the camera rotates to the left. If you pull 
the right trigger, it rotates to the right. 

Start Button- Access the Menu. 

----------------------------------------------------------
Section VI: A Note on Battle
----------------------------------------------------------

Battle mode is complicated at first, but once you get used 
to it, it is not very difficult. You will see a bar like 
the one I am putting below:

---------------Enemy's Status------------
WAIT====================COM===========ACT
----------------Your Status--------------

-The characters involved in the battle will be represented 
as icons, with the party's being on the bottom and the 
enemy party's being on the top. Each character will start 
at the WAIT section of the middle bar. When the character ( 
enemy or party member ) reaches the COM, or Commence, 
portion of the bar, the battle, which is normally semi-free 
action, will stop. This pause is used to allow the player 
to choose the command he wishes his character to enact ( 
this is only true for party members, the enemy just goes on 
through ). Once you have input the command, the battle 
resumes until your next character reaches the COM stage or 
a character ( enemy or otherwise ) reaches the ACT stage, 
or action. At this point, an action is commenced. The 
battle will be paused for this action depending on the 
action type:

At COM the battle will pause: Only for your characters so 
the player can input commands.

At COM the battle will NOT be paused: For all enemies, as 
the don't need to think.

At ACT the battle will pause: If either the player or an 
enemy has a character casting a spell or using a special 
attack. 

At ACT the battle will NOT be paused: If either the player 
or an enemy has a regular or critical attack. 

-Types of attacks: Combo attack ( where the player/enemy 
runs up to the enemy/player and executes an attack using 
their handheld weapon ), CRITICAL attack ( where the player 
initiates a cancel attack {will be explained in a minute}), 
various spells ( where the player/enemy casts a spell ), or 
a special move ( where the player enemy charges up to use a 
special move ).

-About Cancel: Cancel is the ability of a CRITICAL attack. 
When you use this attack on an enemy who has yet to reach 
COM, then it will slightly stall the enemy. However, if you 
use it on an enemy when he is between COM and ACT, you will 
CANCEL his attack and drop his icon to well below COM, thus 
making the enemy build up and restart his attack. Isn't 
that neat?

There you have it, isn't it easy?

-----------------------------------------------------------
Section VII: Walkthrough
-----------------------------------------------------------

Welcome ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, children of 
all ages! What you are about to witness is a marvel of 
gaming magic. Please put on your goggles, buckle your 
safety belt, and get ready for a game which will send 
reverberating jolts through your body

- Once, when the world was at peace, there was a god. This 
god of light, Granas, embraced all and shone light down on 
the people of the world. And the world was at peace. 
Technology bloomed, giant structures and vast cities were 
constructed under the light of this god. The people 
flourished as their world grew into a marvelous place of 
enlightenment. Butthen he came. The one that is darkness. 
Valmar. Valmar came to the world, carrying with him in his 
wake a trail of darkness, suffering, and pestilence. The 
warriors of Granas fought bravely against the minions of 
Valmar, and for many years the war raged on in the skies 
above the fair planet. Then, all at once, it changed

- Granas, all that is good and just, decided that this epic 
struggle must end here and now, and thus he took it upon 
himself to rid the world of this blackness known as the God 
Valmar. Thus he equipped himself with his Granasaber, the 
weapon of the righteous, and he charged at the evil Valmar. 
The two Gods remained locked in a brutal struggle for days, 
and when it was over, Granas came out the victor. All that 
is holy proceeded to section off the body parts of all that 
is evil and put them in various sealed orbs across the 
globe. Having sealed away all that was evil, Granas took a 
leave from the earth to recover from the terrible wounds he 
had been dealt by Valmar. All was peaceful againuntil 

- Flash forward many ages. Technology lost during the 
mighty struggle against Valmar has now only started to be 
rediscovered. People once again flourish as the great Pope 
Zera Innocuous rules from his Papal State at St. Heim. Our 
hero, Ryudo, and his faithful friend Skye are living near 
the town of Carbo, living off others as hired mercenary 
Geohounds. They have had a rough but good four years 
together. All was well until one daywhen Ryudo accepted a 
mission to be a bodyguarda mission that would affect his 
life and the entire world

---------------------------------------------
=============================================
And the Journey BeginsSTART WALKTHROUGH
=============================================
---------------------------------------------


-Roll Opening Credits on the struggle between Granas and 
Valmar

-Game starts as you see a shot of the forest pan into a 
shot of a group of people talkingappears to a group of 
women ( sisters of Granas ) talking to people. All of a 
sudden a bird ( Skye ) flies over them as they cross a 
wooden suspension bridgepan out to Ryudo climbing a rope 
on a steep cliff

- Ryudo: Don't let me down Skye

Ryudo is climbing a rope above a group of monsters and 
their treasure. He proceeds to have Skye drop an explosive 
diversion as he knocks out the remaining guard and takes 
the treasure. As he grabs it, the monsters, coming back, 
launch their spears as they discover him. Acting quickly

Ryudo: Skye, over here

Ryudo calls Skye and jumps into his claws, flying out of 
harms way with the treasure in tote. 

-Skye: Ryudo, I cannot take much more of this
Ryudo: Quit your bellyaching and fly dammit!
Skye: Ohhhh <<drops Ryudo>>

-Skye, not able to carry Ryudo any further, drops Ryudo 
into the forest

-It is now evening and Ryudo is at a rendezvous with a man 
and his daughterRyudo appears to have been working for 
this man 

Ryudo: I finished the job, didn't I

Man: Yes, in your own crude fashion, here take your money!

Woman: Father! Don't be rude, I'm sorry

Ryudo:<<laughing>>Heh, I'm used to it

Man:<<aside to his daughter>>I wont have you speaking to 
his kind! Come, we are leaving!

-After giving the man the treasure in exchange for money, 
Ryudo and Skye continue on down the forest path

Skye: I cannot stand him, what a pompous fool!

Ryudo: Its work, not a barrel of laughs.

Skye: Well, well, you are growing up Ryudo.

Ryudo: Ugh, if it were not for work, id have nothing to do 
with that guybutbusiness is business

Skye: She was a fine looking girl though

Ryudo:<<angry>> I don't care for her or the kindness of 
strangers!

-As Ryudo and Skye continue down the road, they approach a 
tree with a white cloth tied around it. Inside the cloth is 
a letter addressed to Ryudo

Ryudo: What is it Skye?

Skye: Ryudo, looks like we have another job

Ryudo:<<worn out>> Hey, not already, I'm still sore from 
that fall, no thanks to you<<Skye proceeds to claw him 
lightly>>Hey ouch!alrightits good to have work

-Ryudo proceeds to then open the letter and gaze at its 
contents...

Ryudo: Hmm. It says the church of Granas wants to hire you 
as a bodyguard. So working for Granas, now I really don't 
want to do it.

Skye: A jobs a jobs, right?

Ryudo:<<accepting>> I guess, that's what it means to be a 
geohound

------------------------------------------------
================================================
Part A: The Forest Before and Through Carbo Town
================================================
------------------------------------------------


---------------------------------------
In The Forest:
---------------------------------------
Items: Wound Salve (x2), Yomi's Elixir
Weapons: None	
Armor: None
Accessories: Blizzard Charm
Special Items: Hand Grenade
Enemies: Two Mottled Spiders
---------------------------------------


-Once you regain control of Ryudo, acquaint yourself with 
the general controls of the game by moving around a little. 
Once ready, proceed backwards along the path and turn to 
your right to acquire a wound salve. Once that is done, 
return to the path and go along it until you go past some 
waterfalls. Once past these waterfalls, you will read a 
ladder and a rainbow cone. These cones are SAVE/RECOVER 
CONES and can be used to either save the game or recover 
your status. Use it to save and when you are ready, go up 
the ladder.

-Once up the ladder, go forward and open the chest, taking 
the Blizzard Charm inside. Don't equip it. Continue along 
the rocks until you reach a ladder down. Go down it. 

-Once down the ladder, use the L/R triggers to look around 
and change your view. Find the correct way to go and 
proceed down the path, engaging the first spider when you 
come to it. Strike hard and fierce, defeating the Mottled 
Spider. Once it is defeated, proceed forward along the 
path. You will see another treasure chest, open it, 
gathering the goodies inside. Once you have all these 
goodies, go forward some more and do battle with the other 
mottled spider that pops out of the trees. Once it is 
defeated, continue on, making a left at the bend in the 
woods until you reach the exit of the forest, towards Carbo 
Village

-----------------------------------------------------------
Welcome to Carbo Town, A Small Village With A Small Problem
-----------------------------------------------------------

-As Ryudo enters the village, he comes across a few of the 
sisters we saw in the intro having a conversation in front 
of a building. 

Tessa: Bye, Elena. See you later.

Elena: I am sorry, Tessa. I would join you if I could. I 
wonder why I'm not permitted to leave with you

Tessa: I guess your role is more important than ours. Don't 
worry, we'll do all the preparations for the ceremony. 

Ismene: Tessa! We have to get going!

Tessa: Oh, all right. See you later, Elena!

-Tessa walks over to a group of sisters, whom she is to 
lead.

Tessa: Let's go

Ismene: Elena, its time for the service. You ought to 
return now.

Elena: Yes, you are right. 

Ismene: Don't worry. We've hired a bodyguard, you'll catch 
up with us safely. 

Elena: Please, take care of yourselvesand Tessa, I will 
see you later!

-With this, Tessa's group leaves and Ryudo is alone with 
Elena and one other

Carius' Wife: Now Elena, let's go back<<leaves with Elena 
as a man approaches Ryudo>>

Random Man:<<to Elena and Carius' Wife>> Thank you for all 
of your hard work. <<approaches Ryudo>>

Skye: Probably none of our concern

Ryudo:<<to the man>> Are they collecting tithes? There's 
enoughwhat do they do - storm through your door and beat 
the charity out of you?

Man: I understand they're off to a tower outside of the 
village to drive away evil spirits. We're very fortunate to 
have the sisters.

Ryudo: Evil spirits? 

Man: Yes. Things are fine around here during the daybut 
when the sun goes down, all kinds of terrible monsters are 
about.

Ryudo: What about the girl who stayed behind? 

Man: Oh, Miss Elena? She's a songstress of Granas. She 
sings such pretty songs for us. Maybe she will join after 
the service.

Ryudo: Hmm

Man: You don't look like you're from around here. Word of 
advice: don't venture about at night.

Ryudo: Huh? They needed a bodyguardWhat's this about 
driving out evil spirits? 

-At this point you regain control of Ryudo with only a 
piece of a puzzle on what is occurring in this town. Take 
the man's words to mind and proceed  to enter the store 
behind him and to your right, the Carbo General Store. In 
the store, you may ask the man with the question mark 
floating over his head any questions you wish regarding 
anything. Proceed to the shop keep and buy whatever you 
want

--------------------------

-Once you have what you desire, leave the general store. 
Once out, proceed to the cobblestone path and look around. 
Talk to any people you desire to talk to. Once you are 
ready, proceed past the fountain and enter the church 
ground. You will stop at the door

Ryudo: Asong?

Skye: Maybe it's that "Songstress"

Ryudo: Shhh!

-Ryudo and sky will hear the Songstress singing a beautiful 
song

Ryudo: Strangeit'scalming

Skye: Sounds like its coming from inside.

Ryudo: Let's take a look!

-Ryudo and Skye enter the church, looking for the 
sourcethey view Elena near the altar singing beautifully. 

Elena: Ohhhh, I should have known I needed more practice

Ryudo: Hey, is that all? <<he approaches>>

Ryudo: Hey! Don't mind me! Continue.

Elena: Wereyou listening?

Ryudo: C'mon, if you are that tense now, you won't be able 
to perform well later.

Elena: Who are you?wwhat are you doing here? 

Ryudo: Whoa! You hired ME. 

Elena: Ihired you? Leave immediately!

Ryudo: Hey! Are you for real!? No one told you? 

Father Carius: Elena, is something the matter? Ah, you are 
the Geohound we hired, we have been waiting for you. 

Elena: A geohound!!?

Ryudo: I'm Ryudo, this Skye. 

Elena: Why are you so rude?

Father Carius: Elena? Excuse me, I apologize on her behalf, 
Elena you must get ready to leave. <<she leaves>>

Ryudo: Excuses and woman are equally tiring

Father Carius: This is not the place, may I ask you to wait 
at the inn, ill be along shortly

-Once you regain control of Ryudo, promptly exit the inn 
and return to the village. From there talk to anyone you 
wish and go down, past the fountain, and enter the Carbo 
Inn. Talk to the inn keep, do whatever you must ( save ), 
and then select the option "The priest told me to wait 
here."


--------------------------------------
Inn Conversation with Carius and Elena
--------------------------------------


Ryudo: The Priest told me to wait here

Inn Master: Oh yes, he'll be along shortly, why don't you 
have a seat over there?

Ryudo: Tell him to make it quick.

-Ryudo goes to the table at the inn, and just as he does, 
the priest enters. 

Carius: I believe there is a Geohound waiting for me.

Inn Master: AGeohound?There is a man over there. A 
Geohound, father? What need have we with his kind?

Carius: Ah, he has come. Peace, my son. It is not appointed 
for us to judge our fellow man. Granas alone reserves that 
power. 

-Carius joins Ryudo at the table

Carius: I apologize for our rudeness earlier. You must be 
Ryudo, the Geohound, correct? I am sorry to have kept you 
waiting. 

Ryudo:<<As he sits down>> So, what business does a noble 
priest of the Church of Granas have with a lowly Geohound 
like me? 

Carius: I believe that was stated in my letter. You 
candid read the letter, did you not? 

Ryudo: Come now, Father. For a priest, your faith is most 
disturbing. ( Skye:<<commenting aside>> Easy Now ). Enough 
Skye. So, Father, you need a bodyguard. Talk. 

Carius: There is a tower outside of town - Garmia Tower. We 
will hold a ceremony there tonight, under the light of the 
full moon. I want you to take one of our sisters to there, 
and once the ceremony is over, I want you to bring her back 
here. 

Ryudo: I don't buy it. The church has never sought help  
from outside before, and this is a job for a choirboy, not 
a "murderous Geohound." 

Carius: Not all are against you lad. You need not always 
walk in anger and pain. All troubles can be resolved with 
prayer and

Ryudo:<<Getting up and cutting him off>> Then I suggest you 
start praying your sister over to your tower. 

Carius: I am sorry, I did not mean to offend, please. 

Ryudo:<<As Carius drops on the table a sum of gold>> Fine, 
fine. I'll do the job, but save your sermons. Gold has a 
finer voice. 

Carius: The sister whom you will be protecting is waiting 
in the church. Please ready yourself and come along. 

Ryudo: Don't worry about the girl. I've never botched a 
job. And I don't plan to start. 

------------------------------------------
End Inn Conversation with Carius And Elena
------------------------------------------

-After this, Carius leaves and you regain control of Ryudo. 
Leave the inn and head into the general store to buy 
whatever you want with Carius' money ( will not be much ). 
Once ready, leave the establishment and head back up to the 
church. Once at the gate, you talk to the group of Carius 
and Elena. 

Ryudo: So, father. You want me to escort her Fussiness 
here. Fine, then come along princess. 

Elena: Father. Am I the only one with a Geohound? 

Carius: Yes. Your role is very important.

Elena:<<mad>> Oh, why can I not just go alone. Please, 
father!

Ryudo:<<butting in>> Hey, hey! What are you trying to do? 
He already paid me in advance!

Elena: I do NOT want to go along with that boor!

Ryudo: Hey, nowwho're you calling a boar? 

Carius: Elena, your role is very important. Were something 
to happen to you, we could not hold the ceremony. Thus, the 
bodyguard. 

Elena:<<whiny>> Its not fait that I am the only one who has 
to go with a Geohound.

Ryudo: I don't care one way or the other. Look, are you 
coming or not? 

Carius: Elena, please do not forget your role. We are 
depending on you, I beg you. 

Elena:<<submitting>> Yes, father, you are right. I ought 
not make Tessa and the others wait. I shall perform my 
part. 

Carius: Well then, Ryudo, please take Elena to Garmia 
Tower. 

Ryudo: Fine. Lets go, princess. 

Elena: My NAME is Elena. 

Ryudo: Princess Elena, then, move it. 

-At this point Elena joins your group as an NPC.  Proceed 
to talk to anyone you want and when you are ready, go to 
Carbo inn and save. When that is finished. Leave the town

reach another left split, at this point, go slightly 
forward and collect the herb item. Double back and continue 
down the path, following the bend right! Once you round the 
bend, an exchange occurs

-Ryudo: What now? 

Elena: Wha!? What is it?

Ryudo: This is your first time talking in the woods?

Elena: N-No, not at all. It's just thatat night


Ryudo: Keep your head down and watch your stepLOOK, OVER 
THERE! <<pointing to brush>>

Ryudo: Nice reflexes, princess. Unfortunately, we are not 
out here to pick berries or nurse hurt shrews. Next time, 
you might want to duck and cover. Most bad guys wont stop 
killing you if you're trying to kiss their ouchies. 
 Did you hear something?

Elena: Ryu- Mr. Ryudo! There's something ahead! 

Ryudo: Yeah! Back off!

-At this point Ryudo engages a minor pair of bat enemies. 
Nothing special. Defeat them and once they are gone

-Ryudo: You okay Princess?

Elena: Yes, Mister Ryudo. How are you? Are you all right?

Ryudo: I'm fine, as long as I'm getting paid. Butone 
thing

Elena: Yes? 

Ryudo: Drop the "Mister" stud, I'm not your teacher, your 
baby sitter, or your damn butcher. Just say "Ryudo"

Elena: All right

Ryudo: Ban, at this rate we wont make it till dawn. Step on 
it!

-After this exchange you regain control. Proceed onward to 
the north, making a long left in the bend and going into 
the black forest 2. 

----------------
Black Forest Two
----------------

-You are now in the Black Forest 2. Once you enter, go 
forward until you reach a tree, at which point you will be 
attacked by a dodo. Defeat it and move on. You will then 
reach a fork in the road. Start by going LEFT in the fork. 
Once left, continue left and pick up  the 50G that is on 
the ground. Double back to the fork and this time take the 
RIGHT path. Continue right and grab the Myriad Power Nut. 
Once you have this. Go up along the path until you reach 
the top, where the forks connect. Exit out of the Black 
Woods 2 by leaving to North Silesia. 

--------------------
Outside Garmia Tower
--------------------

-Select Garmia Tower as your destination. You will see an 
eerie pan of the tower. 

-After entering the area, proceed up until you reach the 
sisters of Granas. Talk with them

-Ryudo: So, I take it you're the ones who've been waiting 
for the princess here.

Ismene: We are. You must be the Geohound. I thank you. 

Eurydice: So that's a Geohound. He gives me the creeps. 

Velda: The rumors speak truth. 

Isolde: Yuck, he's looking this way. 

Tessa: SILENCE! 

Ryudo: Come on, get to it. 

Elena: My sisters, I am ready. I have mister Ryudo to thank 
for bringing me here safely. 

Ryudo: Not even a ding or scratch on her. Now, I don't 
suppose you'll tell me what this is all about

Ismene: please, wait outside until we have finished the 
ceremony, when it is concluded, you will escort Elena back 
to the church. 

Ryudo: How long are you ladies going to take? 

Ismene: It will take some time. This is all I may say. One 
more thing. Do not enter the tower under any circumstances. 
The Ceremony must not be disrupted by your kind, er, you. '

Ryudo: "My kind." Right, I'll just sit over here and think 
filthy, unclean thoughts, then. 

Ismene: , please do not come inside. 

-At this the door to the tower opens and the sisters filter 
in. 

Tessa: Elena, did he do anything to you? 

Elena: TESSA! Ryudo kept his hands to himself! Though he 
did see fit the share his foul mouth. 

Ismene: Come, we must begin the ceremony. 

-With this, they enter and the door closes.
Pan to Ryudo and Skye around a campfire. 

-Ryudo: Man, how long is this gonna take? We've been 
waiting for like, hours! 

Skye: Oh, stop your whining. Its part of the job. 

Ryudo: Man, what're they doing in there!? This is why I 
hate the church, everything takes foreeeeeever. 

Skye: What's eating you, Ryudo? Thinking about that singing 
Schoolgirl? 

Ryudo: I just got a bad feeling about this

-Ryudo gets up and walks near the tower, standing with his 
back to the fire and Skye. 

-Ryudo: And this tower too. Don't you think it looks like a 
strange place for a holy ceremony?Check out the mural. 
What's the deal with these weird wings? 

Skye: It's an ancient ruin. I figure it dates from the 
Silvery White Light Age. 

Ryudo: You mean the battle of good and evil? Why would they 
do their exorcisms or whatever in a place like this? 

-Screams can be heard and lightning flashes from the tower.

-Ryudo: Something funny's going on! Best check it out! 

Skye: But didn't they say not to go in? 

Ryudo: Look , if anything happens to that Elena chick, it's 
my rep on the line, I'm not gonna blow this job. 

Skye: True enough, and this IS out of the ordinary. 

Ryudo: Quit stalling! Let's go!

-You now regain control again of Ryudogo forward and enter 
the tower, where you will face the demons that lurk and 
haunt the exorcism ceremony. 

 
--------------------
Inside Garmia Tower:
--------------------
Items: Wound Salve x2, Hand Grenade.
Weapons: None
Armor: None
Accessories: Wind Charm
Misc. Items: 50G, 150G
Enemies: Mottled Spiders and Gargoyles
--------------------

-------------------------
Garmia Tower: First Floor
-------------------------

-Once you enteryou will notice that this religious place 
is crawling with monsters!! If you need to, use the save 
cone to your right. Once ready, proceed forward and to the 
left, killing any spiders you find. This area is not very 
hard to navigate, as it is basically a giant circle which 
has a room in the middle and rooms on the sides. Proceed 
around the area, grabbing: Hand Grenade, Wound Salve, and a 
wind charm. Once you have all of these, proceed to the 
second floor.

--------------------------
Garmia Tower: Second Floor
--------------------------

-Once you enter, proceed forward, past the stones, and 
cross the long bridge. Once you reach the other side, grab 
the 50 G and go up the stairs. This floor is very short and 
basically nothing will happen, so don't worry if you think 
you have missed something.

-------------------------
Garmia Tower: Third Floor
-------------------------

-Once you enter, you will see two doors, take the one on 
the right. Proceed until you reach a large room with, gasp, 
gargoyles. Proceed through the door on your left ( more 
gargoyles and spiders ) and go straight ( down a small set 
of stairs too ). Turn right once down ( gargoyle ) and 
continue running that way until you see another gargoyle. 
Kill it. Go right and forward to acquire 150G. Once you 
have this from the chest, double back go straight, turning 
right when you reach the wall. Be sure to use the save cone 
before you go up the stairs ( and grab the wound salve you 
see ).  

--------------------------
Garmia Tower: Fourth Floor 
--------------------------

-When you enter, you will see two gargoyles in front you ( 
mini boss! ). Fight them. Once dispatched, you will find 
Tessa

Ryudo: What Happened?

Tessa: The ceremonyfailedsasave Elena.

Ryudo: Hang on. We'll get you out of hereDamnit! She's 
dead. 

Skye: Ryudo! No time for sentiment! Search for the others!

Ryudo: Yeah. We're in waist deep here

-When you get control back, go try the door.

Ryudo: This stupid door! It doesn't budge!

Skye: I'll look for another way in! <<flies off>>

Ryudo: Damnit!

Skye: Ryudo, this window!

-Go and break the window in. Once in

Ryudo: Holy!

<<pans out to a view of Elena floating in the air, in a 
black haze>>

Ryudo: What IS that!? 

-Cut to a flashback ( small ) for Ryudo in which he views 
people touched by evil

Ryudo: That Darkness!!? I know that darkness!

Elena: There is no darkness inside of me. You cannot, I 
forbid you. Aah!

Skye: Ryudo! You there? Snap out of it!

Ryudo: Damnit! I'm gonna save her!

-As Ryudo runs to save her, the crystal in the middle 
shatters and darkness is released, causing the tower to 
shake. 

Skye: Ryudo, we must go!

Ryudo" Lets ride!

-------------------------------
After the Escape From the Tower
-------------------------------

-Ryudo and Skye, with Elena, abandon the collapsing tower 
via a rope. The tower proceeds to collapse. Flash forward 
to the woods

Skye: Anyway, she looks aright. Let's head back to town as 
soon as possible. Say? Are you feeling ok? You were acting 
a little strange back there in the tower. 

Ryudo: Yeah, just some bad memories. 

Skye: Uh, hey, she's waking up. 
Ryudo: Hey! Wake up!

Elena: Ouch! Stop it! STOP IT! <<sits up>>

Ryudo: Hey. It's alright now. Hey!

Elena: Where am I?

Ryudo: In the woods, near the tower. 

Elena: Huh? Why am I in such a place?

Ryudo: <<standing up>> Look over there. 

-The view pans to the now collapsed tower, a whirlwind of 
blackness circling it. Lightning can be seen inside. 

Elena: That is, the power of darkness! Where is everyone? 
Where is Tessa!!? 

Ryudo: You were the only survivor. Sorry. Come on, lets go 
back to the village. 

Elena: NO! I'mis everyone ok? EveryoneeveryoneI'm 
going back! They must have 
Ryudo: Hey! Hey! Princess! The power of darkness isn't 
coming this way to tell us about the neighborhood bake 
sale. We need to leave!

Elena: Are they reallygone?

Ryudo: Yeah. They're dead. You nearly didn't make it 
yourself. You weren't looking so hot, never mind those 
wings you sprouted. 

Elena: We lost to the power of darkness, to the power of 
Valmar

Ryudo: You still with us songstress? Hey, time to snap out 
of it! The dead wont be joining us anytime soon. 

Elena: <<kneeling>> The ceremony has failed. All have 
perished. Why should I alone have lived? Why should I alone 
keep living?

Ryudo: Because I've got a job to do. Now get us and get 
your butt in gear. 

Elena: You monster! You could unfeeling brute!!!
Ryudo: Geohound. Cold unfeeling geohound. 

--------------------------------------------------
The Return to Carbo Town After the Failed Ceremony
--------------------------------------------------

-At this Ryudo leaves and Elena follows. They get back to 
town at the dead of night. They stop near the inn.

Ryudo: Looks like we escaped. I don't think they'll follow 
us this far. Well? You calmed down a bit? 

Elena: <<sagging her head>> 

Ryudo: Anyway, I'll bring you back to the priest. That's 
what I was hired for after all. 

Elena: Ryudo! How can you kill so indiscriminately?I'm 
sorry. You are doing it to protect me. 

Ryudo: Don't worry. Part of the job. 

-At this you regain control of the party. Talk to whomever 
and go to the church to meet father Carius. 

Elena: Father Carius. II

Carius: Elena. Are you the only one to make it back? Where 
are the others? What has happened? 

Elena: During the ceremonyoh father

Carius: Oh child. You have said enough for now. Rest and 
speak on these things at a later time. 


Ryudo: Well, anyway, my job here is done. You've paid me 
enough. I wasn't exactly the most successful 
bodyguardbut what the hell was the ceremony about?

Carius: Mr. Ryudo, you must be tired. We shall prepare some 
warm food for you. Come please, come insideElena, you as 
well. 

-Pan to inside the church, where they now talk.


-----------------------------------------------------------
Conversation Between Carius And Ryudo in the Church, Where 
Ryudo Learns the Truth
-----------------------------------------------------------


Ryudo: I cant tell you much about the ceremony. But the 
last I saw, and this sounds odd, Elena had grown these 
black wings. Anyway, we out of there pretty damn fast. 

Elena: Father, I had "wings" 

Carius: Hush now Elena, you are tired. Go to your room and 
get some rest, understand? 

Elena: Yes father. <<she departs, leaving Ryudo and Carius 
alone>> 

Carius: So the ceremony was a failure and Elena possessed 
by the "wings" 

Ryudo: You mind filling me in chief? Try finishing your 
sentences

Carius: I knew it would be dangerous. Yet, even so, we had 
to do it. The wings had to sealed. The wings of Valmar 
Ryudo. The wings of darkness. 

Ryudo: WHAT!?

Carius: As Granas is the lord of light, so Valmar is the 
devil of darkness. Long ago, the two met in battle, as was 
ordained. 

Ryudo: The battle between good and evil, right? Everyone 
knows the fairy tale.

Carius: Valmar was defeated, yes, but not destroyed. Even 
now the foul one prepares for the coming of the eternal 
night. 

Ryudo: This is new. 

Carius: Valmar grows in power with each passing day, 
seeking to break the seals which, for a time, have kept the 
darkness bound. As is foretold in scripture, the day of 
darkness is at hand. The world groans with the heaviness of 
Valmar's rebirth. The devil seeks again to blot out the 
light of Granas. Valmar will return out world to Darkness, 
then destroy it. Sadly, the power of our pope, Zera 
Innocentius, is not enough to ward off the seals against 
the very darkness itself. Yet, it is the work of myself and 
my brethren to prevent the advent of that day. When all 
light shall fade awayWere it not so, I would not have 
sent my own daughter to that doomed ceremony. 

Ryudo: Your Daughter? Tessa

Carius: The sealing ceremony failed. And if what you say is 
true, not only did it fail, but Elena has become possessed 
by Valmar's accursed wings as well. 

Ryudo: What happens next? 

Carius: The pieces of Valmar devour the soul of those they 
possess. Our dear Elena, once she is emptied, the wings 
will move on. On to another host. This is how Valmar feeds, 
gathering strength to re-enter our world. The fetters will 
be loosenedRyudo. Will you lend us your services again? 
Will you help Elena? Be her bodyguard? 

Ryudo: ?

Carius: These sad events may yet be made to work in our 
favor. I wish to send Elena to Granas Cathedral 
immediately. It is rumored that his Holiness Zera knows of 
an ancient sacrament which has the power to cleanse the 
soul of darkness.  The rite would free Elena and shield 
others from the taint of evil. We may again be able to seal 
the wings away. Such an act would delay Valmar's return. 
However, those that follow darkness will not sit idly as 
our plans come to fruition. 

Ryudo: I'm sorry, were you waiting for me to give a damn?

Carius: No, Ryudo, I wait for you to recognize an 
opportunity. For your services, you shall receive, shall we 
say, a statue of gold? It belonged to the church, but needs 
outweigh vanity. I believe it would make a pretty enough 
prize. 

Ryudo: Let me think about it. I cant stand god or women. 


-----------------------
End Church Conversation
-----------------------


-CRASH!!!! A giant crash and lightning hit the church!

Ryudo: What was that? 

Carius: Something outside? 

-They run outside to find ( below Valmar's moon ) a 
succubus

Millenia: This feels so good! I feel free, and so full of 
power. I feel excellent!!
Ryudo: What!!? That girl did this??
Carius: What have you done you foul dark one, leave at 
once! <<fires a green bolt at her>>
Millenia: <<deflects it>> What do you think you are 
doing!!?
Ryudo: She has a fair hand with magic
Millenia: And other fair parts besides, do I look like a 
dark one to you?
Carius: Beware Ryudo! Evil takes forms far from foul!
Ryudo: Are you for real??
Millenia: The sight of this place disgusts meThis statue, 
this church, and the scum who live here. <<lightning bolts 
town>>
Carius: Careful Ryudo, she is dangerous<<bolt to the 
church>> The church!! What have you done!!
Millenia: Now I feel better, what's the big deal, its just 
a church. Now lets get rid of this town.
Ryudo: What are you doing, or are you sick and twisted as 
you look
Millenia: You..you are terrible, what an awful thing to 
say. Well, this will tame your tongue.

-Battle with Millenia.

-----------------------------------------------------------
===========================================================
BOSS BATTLE ONE: MILLENIA THE WINGS OF VALMAR
HP: ?????/?????
Attacks Used: Bow Gun Shot ( 30 Damage )
Magic Used: Burn, Stram, Zap!
Special Attacks Used: A few, but most likely you wont see 
them
===========================================================
-----------------------------------------------------------

----------------------
Millenia: Short Battle
----------------------

-The first boss battle of the game!! How quaint. She is 
hard. So unload. Use your Tenseiken Slash mainly, and when 
that runs out, use Combo attacks and cancel whatever 
attacks you can. Once she hits you with ZAP!, it's all over 
as Ryudo is knocked to the ground and trapped in the field 
of energy generated by the zap. 

---------------
End Boss Battle
---------------

Ryudo: Damn, such power!
Millenia: Nowwell, my dear, you are a nice plaything.
Ryudo: Don't toy with me!
Millenia: I like you, my name is Millenia, next time we 
meet, ill make you mine, practice, ill be back, toodles 
<<she flies off>>.
Ryudo: She can fight, for a girlFather, ill take you up, 
I want to find out just exactly is going on.
-Once that is over. You will regain control in the inn at 
daybreak

Skye: Ryudo, are you fine with this? Didn't you say that 
you don't like getting involved in matters of religion? 

Ryudo: He said that ill get to meet that pope Zera at the 
cathedral. Think about it Skye! The pope! If we could get 
in good with him, we could get our hands on some ungodly 
amounts of loot!

Skye: I'm not a newly hatched chick Ryudo. I suspect that 
you have other reasons for your broad change of heart.

-Carius and Elena enter the inn and approach Ryudo.

Carius: We are sorry to keep you waiting Mr. Ryudo, here is 
your money. <<gives him GOLD STATUE>> Please take good care 
of Elena. 

Elena: Thank you for your help. Shall we go? 

Ryudo: Granas Cathedral is a bit of a hike, princess. 
Better leave for silk slippers behind. Sure you are up to 
this? 

Elena: I must go. I do not want the others to have died in 
vain. Farewell, father. 

Carius: Elena, be careful during your travels. I shall prey 
for your safety. 

Ryudo: And I'll pray for the patience I'm going to need. 

Elena: I will not be a burden. I am quite able to fend for 
myself!

Ryudo: So the songstress has spunkgood. Let's move. 

Elena: I must get to Granas cathedral. No matter the cost. 

-You regain control at this point. Stock up on anything you 
need and leave town. 

-----------------------------------------------------------
===========================================================
Part C: The Inor Mountains, Agear Town, And the Durham Cave
===========================================================
-----------------------------------------------------------

------------------
The Inor Mountains:
------------------
Weapons: None
Armor: None
Accessories: Crystal Brooch, 
Misc. Items: Magic Mushroom, 150G x2, Goblin Toadstool, 
Poison Antidote x2, Yomi's Elixir, 50G
Enemies: Dodo, Crag Snakes, Mottled Spiders, 
---------------------------------------

-Once you leave the village, you will travel to the Inor 
Mountains. This is a place of mystery, adventure, and many 
baddies. Beware. 

------------------
Inor Mountains One
------------------

-Once you get control. Go forward and squash the mushrooms. 
Grab the magic mushroom that will appear ( maybe ) in one 
and proceed forward. Make your way to the save cone and use 
it at your leisure. Now, you will be going off-road for a 
period. Go left, onto the grass, and look around there. I 
can give you no directions beyond look everywhere, squish 
every mushroom, and kill every enemy. Item Tips: 150g is 
directly off road and down, few items under various 
mushrooms (random). Basically cut down every mushroom and 
pray for items. 

-When you are done with that side, go back to the main road 
and cross over to the other side of the grass just above 
the save cone. Proceed forward and when you can, cut to the 
right and down a hill ( other side area with items ). This 
area is also closed off from anything, so search around for 
items ( Mushroom cloud at the bottom ). When you are done 
down there, go back to the save cone.

-From the save cone, proceed up along the dirt path, 
killing any enemy you see ( mostly mottled spiders ). At 
one point you will come to a large stone mountain ( INOR 
MOUNTAIN, duh. ). Start going up it. Follow the winding 
path up, turning many times. When you reach a T-Turn in the 
path, go right and follow the short path until you reach a 
poison antidote. Grab it. Proceed back and go straight when 
you reach the T-Turn again. Proceed onward, killing and 
Dodos you come across another T-turn. Go left at this point 
and when you reach the end of the path, get the 150g from 
the chest and double back, proceeding straight when you 
reach the T-Turn again. Proceed to the Inor Mountains 2. 

------------------
Inor Mountains Two
------------------

-When  you enter, you will proceed forward for a brief 
moment until you reach a big open area. At which point 
Ryudo turns and talks to the group

Ryudo: Skye, mind looking around a bit? 

Skye: No Problem. <<flies off>>

Ryudo: Getting Tired? We can rest here for a little while/

Elena: No, I am not. I am all right. 

Ryudo: Don't get too comfortable, the night has many eyes, 
teeth

Elena(Mad):Your children's tales are neither frightening 
nor amusing! <<Skye flies back in>> EEK!!

Ryudo: Don't overdo it. We're staying here tonight. Can you 
stand? 

Elena: Yes

-The scene blacks out to that of nighttime. The angle pans 
down onto a tent erected and a fire burning bright in the 
night. Ryudo and Elena sit by it, talking. 

-----------------------------------------------------------
Campfire Conversation Between Ryudo and Elena, Then Ryudo 
And Skye
-----------------------------------------------------------


Ryudo: You calmed down a bit? Pay attention next time.

Elena: All right

Ryudo: Anyway, what happened back at the tower? Ready to 
talk about it yet? 

Elena: I do not remember much, it was, I believe it was a 
ceremony of sealing, I was to sing. I began my song, my 
sisters moved to restore the seal, and then

Ryudo: What about the wings? 

Elena: Forgive me, I do not wish to remember. 

Ryudo: Uh-huh. We're missing something here, you must be 
able to remember, or did the cloud of incense fog your 
memory? 

Elena: Do you assume? 

Ryudo: Hey, I'm not presuming to know what goes on behind 
closed doors, sister. I'm just saying you were there. Bah, 
hopeless. 

Elena: You do not understand

Ryudo: Because I'm not sophisticated enough? Because I 
don't fall all over myself to be the first in line a the 
temple doors? 

Elena: Now you mock me.

Ryudo: No, ive been mocking you for the last half hour. A 
little slow to notice, aren't we? 

Elena: Why do you persist in vexing me? Do you bait me to 
watch me suffer? Do you take pleasure in my pain? Please, I 
do not need your grief, as I have much of my own. 

Ryudo: I am surprised that you have managed to remain so 
naive and survive as long as you have. 

Elena: Is that what you think? 

Ryudo: Forget it. Get to sleep. We've got a ways ahead of 
us in the morning. <<Elena gets up and starts for the 
tent>> Hey! Leave some space for me! 

Elena: I hope you're joking!Never mind, I will sleep 
outside the tent!

Ryudo: I didn't mean it that way. Uh, I hope you like 
sleeping on rocks!

-Elena, in an upstart manner, walks off.

Ryudo: Suit yourself<<time passes>> So, she is finally 
asleep. 

Skye<<flying down>>: What about you lover boy? You going to 
sleep? 

Ryudo: I cant, I keep sensing Elena surrounded by Darkness 
in the tower. Nightmares, man. 

Skye: Don't think about it, nothing you can do now. 

Ryudo: And I pissed her off, man. She is so perky and 
happy, now she hates me, you saw her! 

Skye: It cant be helped, you know how the church feels 
about us working types. 

Ryudo: But I guess she has been sheltered her whole life. 
She's never seen the world outside her window. And then to 
have her friends die on her like that, and I couldn't save 
them. 

Skye: Compassion Ryudo? A little late for that, your words 
would sounds far better had they been spoken sooner. 

Ryudo: Sometimes, all I can, I didn't want. She has to be 
kept from harm, yet even now she suffers, and I cannot bear 
her to see it. It is my duty to protect her. 

Skye: You are mincing you words again, Ryudo. Badly. You 
know as well as I that what you feel has less to do with 
duty than with

Ryudo: With WHAT Skye!? With concern? With sentiment, 
that's not me, still, ive never felt, bah. Good night Skye

Skye: Sweet dreams Ryudo. <<flies off and Ryudo lies down 
to sleep>>

Elena( All the while had been listening ): Whydid he not 
tell me. <<fade out>>


--------------------------
End Campfire Conversations
--------------------------


-The night is over, the morning has come. 

Elena: Ryudo, its morning already!! <<fade in>> Good 
morning Ryudo! Are you awake!? 

Ryudo: Cut it out Elena, its too early! <<gets up>>

Elena: Up until now? 

Ryudo: Wha-what it is? 

Elena: I am so sorry. I misjudged you Ryudo. I took you for 
just another Geohound. Skye, I misjudged you as well, 
forgive me. 

Ryudo: What snuck into your sleeping bag? I am a detestable 
geohound! 

Skye: I agree

Elena: Anyway, Ryudo, please help me get to the Granas 
Cathedral, And you too, Skye. 

-At this point you regain control. What a night, eh? 
Proceed left along the path, watching the boulders fall at 
one point. Continue on and climb the rope ladder when you 
come to it. Go on to the right, and when you see a boulder 
balanced on a wooden plank, go around to the back of it. 
The boulder will fall and crush the rocks that were 
blocking the treasure earlier, nice. When you have the big 
chest's items, proceed down beyond the chest and take a 
left. At one point you will go past a creaking boulder 
hold, ignore it. 

-Next you will see another one above you break loose and 
block the path ( it breaks off and the boulders roll to 
block the path ). Proceed onward down the path, keeping 
straight ( ignore the turn ), and killing any enemies you 
come across. When you come to it, take a rope ladder DOWN. 
Proceed straight along the path for a good while until you 
reach a wide turn. Grab the 50g there and continue around 
the turn, proceeding onward. Exit into NORTH SILESIA. 

-----------------------------------------
Agear Town, the Ruined Village of Silesia 
-----------------------------------------

-You have made it to town two, whoopee. You will enter this 
down and notice one thing, it is very bleak. Something is 
obviously very wrongThe view will pan over a ruined town 
beyond a shanty town, with ruddy defense erected before the 
town. 

Elena: Ryudo, is this a town, or something? 

Ryudo: Not the kind you'd want to raise your kids in, 
didn't used to be like this. 

Elena: Today I thought, we could sleep in a regular room. 

Ryudo: We, we're gonna have to make do. Anyway, lets find a 
place to bunk up. 

-At this point you regain control. Go into the white tent, 
which is the item shop.

Conversation Between Ryudo, Elena, And Vyx. Includes the 
Carnies and Roan
-----------------------------------------------------------


Ryudo: Long time, no see. Looks like you had trouble.  

Vyx: Ryudo. Still breathing, I see. Good. Monsters, kiddo. 
Monsters have taken up residence on the other side of town. 
As you can see, they haven't been too kind to us poor 
louts. 

Ryudo: Nice place you got here Vyx. I heard they tried to 
run out of town. Stubborn as ever, I see. 

Vyx: Aye, and don't think the wretches that came crawling 
in here for shelter appreciates it. I tell you, if I had a 
few more men with blades, we wouldn't have to keep huddling 
in here likes hens on omelet day. 

Ryudo: You retired for a reason, Vyx. You cant win your 
battles with your reputation alone. 

Vyx: I can still, say Ryudo, who's the girlie? You've gone 
soft on me lad? 

Elena: Huh? 

Ryudo: And you've gone senile on me, old man. Its work, 
don't ask. <<A crunching sound is generated as if a door 
opens>> Huh, what is that? <<the shot pans over to a table 
with five people>>

Roan: That medal was a memento of my mother, please do 
something! 

Gonzola: No can do, we had our hands full just getting 
through there. There's no way we are going back to that 
place. 

Ryudo<<observing>>: What's the deal with those clowns?

Vyx: Funny you should ask that. They ducked in here to slip 
away from some monsters that apparently took a liking to 
their finery. Along the way, they monsters seem to have 
lifted some precious bauble from the lad. I figure him to 
be a runaway, and a wealthy one at that. Might look into 
it, Ryudo. Accidents do happen. 

Roan: I beg you again, please help me!
Gonzola: Kid, when I say no, I mean no. Don't press your 
luck, as I'm saving all of mine 
R: Retirementjust like boss saysright P?
P: That's right, bravery and bravado are very different. 
C: Just like P says, the odds are stacked, we just ain't 
cut out for this.  
Roan: You don't understand, please help me!
Gonzola: You don't understand how the world works kid, 
ain't our job, ask that geohound over there. <<whisperings 
of "geohound" can be heard>>
Roan: Please, a monster stole my medal which is a memento 
of my mother, please help. 
Ryudo: Sorry kid, I'm in the middle of a job, I cant spare 
the time. 
Elena: Ryudo
Ryudo: Aren't we in a hurry? Give up kid. 
Roan: Do I have do, I guess so

Elena: Ryudo, can not we do something for that little boy?

Ryudo: Gee, let me think about it. Yeah, I think we have 
some time to find his lost jewelry. Hell, we could find him 
some matching earrings. Look, if we stop for every weepy 
brat, no offense, we might as well set up shop with Vyx 
here. Now eat these and relax. 

Elena: Eat these and relax? What are you giving me? 

Ryudo: Kuko Berries. The locals chew on them. They make the 
corners round. Take it easy the first time though. 

Ryudo: Seems the thing we should do is get out of 
here<<Elena Collapses as they talk>> 


----------------------
End Group Conversation
----------------------


-After eating too many berries, Elena collapses and Ryudo 
stopping his discussion with Vyx on detours. After putting 
her to sleep, Ryudo is outside her room.


----------------------------------------------
Conversation Between Ryudo, Skye, and Millenia
-----------------------------------------------


Ryudo: I cant believe that girl, she ate enough berries to 
kill the pope!

Skye: Strange way to put it. At least its finally quiet. 
She'll sleep well. Not bad for her first time actually. 

Ryudo: Whatever. Hopefully she wont keep trying to outdo me 
after this. I'm getting tired of this high-maintenance 
stuff man. <<starts walking to his room>>

Skye: What are you thinking? 

Ryudo: Thought id take care of business while I can. 

Skye: Going out alone? 

Ryudo: Ive got you, don't I? <<enters his room, and screen 
fades into Ryudo on his bed, talking to Skye>>

Skye: What made you decide to get to work right now? Have a 
sport spot for the kid?

Ryudo: The circus Brat? Hardly. We wont get anywhere unless 
we cut through those monsters first. And if an entire nest 
of them is involved, well, you know, I work best alone. 

-From the darkness, a Tee-hee-hee-hee can be heard. 

Ryudo: What in blazed!!? <<looks around>>

Voice: Found you. 

Ryudo: Where are you!? Show yourself!! <<whirlwind appears, 
revealing the wings of Valmar, Millenia>> Iits you??

Millenia: Aw. How sweet! You remember me! You remember my 
promise too? I wont let you get away this time. <<casts a 
holding spell on Ryudo>> 

Ryudo: I cant move!!

Skye: You, what are you doing to Ryudo!? <<Millenia casts 
the same thing on Skye>> 

Millenia: Same thing I am doing to you, BIRD! <<Ryudo 
grunts, alerting her to him again>> Now Ryudo! Don't move 
dear. 

Ryudo: G-Get away! <<knocking at the door>> 

Risotto: Uh, hey. Roan's gone off somewhere. You guys seen 
him??!

Millenia: Oh my, what do we have here?

Ryudo: Let me go free first! <<Millenia lets him free>>. 
What's happening? I'll be right there. 

-At this point, you regain control and MILLENIA, THE WINGS 
OF VALMAR, has now joined your party ( insert cheesy sound 
effect ). Exit the room and go down into the main inn area. 
You will arrive on a conversation. 

Gonzola: Didn't think the kid had that much moxie. Running 
a one man acts no good. Almost enough to make a man's sleep 
wicked. 

Paella: Two cant walk a tightrope. If the boy wants to make 
his own bed, let him eat it too. 

Carpaccio: His own bed. Mmm He is not our problem. But 
still, he is young, very young. Too young to toe the line, 
perhaps. 

Millenia: Ryudo, what's with these locals. 

Ryudo: These carnies. They are all mopey cause the runt ran 
off to feed some monsters. A scrub like him wont make half 
a meal. 

Millenia: And you didn't do anything? What's wrong with 
you? Go find him!

Carpaccio: We know where he goes, yes we do> But there are 
monsters, many monsters. 

Risotto: Lets go! Its not right to leave the boy alone in a 
lion cage! 

Gonzola: I reckon we could worry till the bearded lady 
sings, or we could find the little nipper and be done with 
it. 

Ryudo: Hey, hand on. I was gonna waste the monsters anyway, 
so if we find him, we'll bring him back here. 

Gonzola: Now hand on there, feller, We'd better come with 
you. We're only circus folk, but you'll be needing some 
company anyway. 

Ryudo: Keep your cream pies and seltzer water to 
yourselves. Your assistance isn't needed. 

Millenia: Aw. You are a sweetheart, aren't ya. This should 
be fun. 

Ryudo: If your idea of fun is wading through rivers of 
blood, gobbets of flesh, and gut fresh upon your lips, then 
yes, it will be fun. 

Millenia: Then what're we waiting for tiger! I'm getting 
antsy. Course I could just have some fun right here if you 
want! 

Skye: This woman is a couple of eggs shy of a basket. 

Millenia: Hey, bird! Just how badly do you want to be 
turned into charcoal!? 

Ryudo: Fine, fine, come along then. But stay out of my way. 

Millenia: See, that wasn't too hard, now was it. Confident, 
yet willing to listen to reason. Just what I want in a M-A-
N ( Finished with a heart, how sweet ^_^ ). 


----------------------------------
End Conversation Between the Three
----------------------------------


-At this point you regain control. Leave the inn. Once 
outside, talk to anyone you wish and proceed beyond the 
barricade. Go down the town ruins and into the cave. Before 
you enter, make sure you have a good deal of herbs and 
healing items. 

-----------------------------------------
Durham Cave, The Well of Trouble For Agear
-----------------------------------------
Weapons: None
Armor: None
Accessories: Roan's Medal.
Misc. Items: Medicinal Herb x2, Yomi's Elixir, 100G, 300G, 
Calming Harp, Poff Nut, Torte's Reed pipe, Adventure Book.
Enemies: Crag Snakes, Frost Frogs, Troglodytes, and the 
Durham Minotaur. 
-----------------------------------------

---------------
Durham Cave One
---------------

-When you enter, proceed forward. You will get a pan-view 
of all the cave. At that point, stalagmites will fall and 
create a path, follow it. Use the save cone and continue 
along the path, entering a room where you are stopped. You 
will meet a furry little creature that goes all around, a 
Poff. Ignore it and continue on, turning to your left and 
going forward. After going up rock stairs, jump down off 
the small overhang. Run around to the back of the boulder 
and push it. It will break through the giant wall. 

-After it goes through the wall and you battle the snakes 
that were under it, go forward and collect the Medicinal 
Herb. Proceed onward and pull the lever, which raises one 
stopgap and lowers another. Double around and cross the now 
available wooden bridge you will find just behind you and 
on the screen's left. Grab the next medicinal herb and go 
into the back cave, pushing the boulder down. Jump down 
over it and continue straight, into a trap! Once you enter 
a circular room with gates around it, the gates will close 
and you will be forced to fight monsters to open them. 
Defeat them all of the snakes that will drop and proceed 
forward. Go forward again and re-pull the lever and now 
backtrack. Go back the way you JUST came ( into the cave 
with falling grates, up the rock you pushed, and out the 
entrance to the area with the rock you just pushed ). Be 
sure to grab the Yomi's Elixir in the last area. 

-Once out of that loop, proceed across the SECOND bridge, 
which will be on your character's right. Grab the 100G you 
will see and then go up and to the left, entering a cave 
entrance which has a mysterious grate looming at the top. 
You will be ambushed by enemies. Defeat them all and then 
proceed through the opening on the right of the room. This 
will take you to Durham Cave 2. 

---------------
Durham Cave Two
---------------

-Proceed forward and you will see a bleak situation. Roan 
is trapped and in trouble, being ambushed by three things. 

Ryudo: He got all the way in here. He did got to get here 
alone. 

Millenia: Say, is that the monster over there? 

Ryudo: No. He is the one we rescue. 

-A fight commences. You will battle a hard mini-boss like 
troglodytes. You will get a mist egg and a whirlwind scroll 
out of it, wow. When you are done, talk to Roan.

Roan: Thank you very much for saving me! 

Ryudo: You're making me regret it already kid. You 
shouldn't be here, go home.

Roan: What about you two? What are you doing!!?

Millenia: We are ridding the land of pests! 

Roan: Really? Then please take me along too!

Ryudo: Give me a break! We are not running a daycare, kid. 
Go HOME!  

Roan: I will not go. I am not playing around!! I cannot 
lose that medal. It is the last thing my late mother left 
to me. 

Ryudo: Well, when you run into her, tell her that she 
should have left you some common sense instead!

Rona; Its precious! I cannot lose it, no matter what! 
<<runs up to Ryudo and bothers him>> I will absolutely get 
it back. 

Millenia<<sneaking up behind him and grabbing him in a 
hug>>: You are soooooooooo cute! I've decided to take you 
along! My name is Millenia, what's yours? 

Roan: I'm Roan! Thank you Miss Millenia!

Ryudo: Hey, hey, I don't want any part of this. There's a 
rough road ahead, He'll only be a burden on you. 

Millenia: I'm so happy! Ryudo, are you really worried about 
me!? You are a good man, after all. As weal and frail as I 
am. I will show you I can protect this child. We'll be 
fine! Right? 

Roan: Yes! I shall not give you any trouble! 

Ryudo: "Weak and Frail?" Uh-huh. Just don't forget to feed 
him and change his litter twice a day. Hey! Turn off the 
waterworks, kid, there is a tooth fairy, right? 

Roan: So, you'll take me along? 

Ryudo: For now. But, if you slow us down or just piss me 
off, your butt will be skipping down Lollipop Lane on its 
own. 

Roan: Understood! 

-At this point you regain control. Continue right and along 
the path, eventually passing through a portal with a spike 
door above. Grab the Calming Harp found in the treasure 
chest and battle the enemies that will drop from the 
ceiling ( snakes ). After beating them and the iron spikes 
rise back up, continue on and either fight or avoid the 
enemies, grabbing the medicinal herb you will see behind 
the frogs. From here, proceed behind you of sorts and step 
on the little slab ( different color from the ground ) to 
open the right set of spiked doors. Proceed inside and grab 
the 300G in the chest. Afterwards, go to the big box and 
push it, opening the second spiked door. Go inside and pull 
the lever, draining the water. Once drained, double around 
and proceed across the newly drained water.

-Once across the water, grab the Poff nut you will see. 
Afterwards, proceed right and up to a cliff from where you 
can jump down. Once down, you will be engaged by 
troglodytes. Defeat them ( it's a long battle folks ) and 
proceed forward. Pull the lever to raise the bridge and go 
across next. Once across, go forward and get the reed pipe, 
and continue on to push the boulder over the cliff. Walk 
across the boulder, turning right ( battle frogs ) and 
grabbing the 100g. Once you have it, go back across the 
boulder and use the save cone. Continue down the path and 
enter the depths of the cave.

-----------------
Durham Cave Depths
-----------------

-Once you enter, proceed forward and stop. You see that 
thing? It's a boss. Enter the menu now. Enter POWER UP and 
power up Ryudo's and Millennia's specials. Also equip any 
eggs or skills and power them up as well. Once you are 
readyfight

-------------------------------------------------
=================================================
BOSS BATTLE TWO: DURHAM MINOTAUR AND COHORTS
HP: 4200/4200
Attacks Used: Regular Swipes for 100 or so. 
Magic Attacks Used:
Special Attacks Used: Tornado Horn ( Confuse ). 
=================================================
-------------------------------------------------

-------------
Battle Start:
------------- 

-This guy is much harder then Millenia was. When you start, 
have Ryudo unleash his attacks on the minotaur ( Purple 
Lightning and Flying Tensekenu ). You will do some damage, 
but on the whole he wont be that heavily hurt. With Roan, 
quickly unload with a golden hammer to the minotaur to 
start, as its first few attacks are usually big and 
powerful ones that will really damage the party ( thus 
canceling them ). Have Millenia start off by using her 
fallen wings attack to nail the minotaur AND his troglodyte 
helpers. 

-------------------------------
How to Finish The Minotaur Off:
-------------------------------

-Watch out as you enter the middle of the battle, as the 
troglodytes will start using their sleep spawn attack, 
which will put a member of your party to sleep, ouch. Keep 
pounding him with Ryudo's attacks and have Millenia/Roan 
heal and attack as needed, as these guys can do a good deal 
of damage. Watch out for the minotaur's Tornado Horn, which 
will do upwards of 250 damage and cause one member to be 
confused, this is obviously a very painful and deadly 
combination as one can thus attack party members. Once the 
minotaur starts getting low, he will start truly trying to 
pound the living daylights out of you. Heal as needed and 
continue attacking. Pound him and he will die. Your reward 
will be the ADVENTURE BOOK.

------------------
End Boss Battle
------------------


-As you regain control, the minotaur seems to be very upset 
and hurt, growling at you.

Ryudo: Well, that did a lot of good. Might as well camp out 
here. We can wait until he dies of old age. 

Roan: What should we do? At this rate.

-At this point the minotaur ignites as Millenia burns it to 
a crisp. The other members are in awe.

Millenia: Hah. Serves you right to be toying the with wings 
of Valmar. 

Ryudo: What was that? Who, or what, are you?

Millenia: Oops! I said that out load, didn't I? Never mind 
me. 

Roan: We were sure in trouble there. What would have come 
of us if you had not

Millenia: Forget about it. Now go get your medal! 

Roan: Oh! That's right! <<Roan looks around and grabs his 
medal from the dead Minotaur. Use it as an accessory on 
Roan.>>

Roan: Its here!  All because of you. Thank you very much! 

Ryudo: Hold on a second. Did she or did she not just refer 
to herself as the wings of Valmar? 

Roan: Huh? I do not know what you are talking about. Come 
on. Let us hurry back> I feel so bad about making everyone 
worry. 

Ryudo: Lollipop Lane kid, lollipop lane. 

-At this point you regain control. Walk ALL the way out and 
exit the cave. Congrats on a nice trip ^_^. 

------------------------
Upon the Return to Agear
------------------------

-Once you exit the cave, you will stop and reflect with the 
party.

Millenia: Anyway, I don't want to overstay my welcome. And 
Aaa! The accursed light of the sun! It burns! It 
Burns!!!!!Ha hah! Believed me, didn't ya? See you, 
Ryudo. Give my regards to Elena. I'm a bit tired. 

Ryudo: What, so suddenly

-At this Millenia transforms INTO Elena. Freaky. 

Ryudo: Elena? 

Roan: Mr. Ryudo. What just happened? Miss Millenia is not 
really the wings of Valmar, right? Please tell me. 

Ryudo: According to her, yeah. 

Roan: No. But Valmar is the devil. But Miss Millenia is so 
pretty and kind

Ryudo: Hey, Elena. Wake up! Elena!

Elena: Oh, good morning Ryudo. Mmm? Where am I? 

Ryudo: You all right? 

Elena: How did I get to this place? 

-The scene fades out to a scene at the inn of Vyx. Ryudo, 
Elena, and Roan are around a table talking. 

Elena: Do you speak the truth? Or is this yet another of 
your amusements? 

Ryudo: If it were, you'd fail to notice, remember? She 
calls herself Millenia, but she also said that she is the 
wings of Valmar. 

Elena: This cannot be. 

Roan: Miss Elena. I saw her too. 

Skye: Ditto. 

Elena: So, the wings of Valmar are inside of me? <<At this 
some people enter and the mood changes via the music>> 

Gonzola: Well, well, sonny! You are back!<<the party turns 
to see them coming near>>. Right done friend. You've made 
good on your fancy talk. And I see you have yourself a few 
women. Heh, I envy you feller. Though the other filly you 
was with got my blood a stirring. 

Paella: Really dear? Id like to see this. Maybe after my 
next knife act!!

Elena: It cannot be, last night. That woman is evil 
incarnate. She brings nothing but sorrow and misfortune!!

Gonzola: That so? I reckon she ain't too much different 
from other women.  

Paella: I can tell you about one woman who going to be 
bringing you sorrow, HONEY!

Roan: Now, now. I am uncertain, I do not think miss 
Millenia is evil or anything. 

Ryudo: Anyway, we can leave through the rear gate now. 
Unless you have some more missing jewelry Roan. 

Roan: If you are going across the baked plains, would you 
mind if I came along? Just me by myself is kind of lonely. 

Ryudo: Yeah, well. Elena, you probably don't want him 
around. 

Elena: Oh, no. I do not mind, but we need to move quickly. 
I must reach Granas Cathedral before long. 

-At this point you regain control. Talk to anyone and do 
anything and then leave the town to SOUTH SILESIA. Go to 
the Baked Plains!!

-----------------------------------------------------------
===========================================================
Part D: The Baked Plains, The Granacliffs, Mareg, The 
Skyway, and the Tongue. 
===========================================================
-----------------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------
The Baked Plains, A Very Warm Place
------------------------------------
Weapons: 
Armor: Dash Shoes. 
Accessories:
Misc. Items: Seed of Running, 200G, 600G, 200G, Seed of 
Psyche, Seed of Defense, 200G, North Wind Cape, 600G, 200G, 
Seed of Swift, Seed of Power, 
Enemies: 
------------------------------------

------------------
Baked Plains One:
------------------

-When you enter, proceed forward on this parched surface 
and use your sword of all things to crack the boulders and 
get to the save cone. Use it and proceed forward along the 
path. As you go forward, watch for random steam shoots that 
will damage your party. Grab the 200G when you come to it 
and keep going forward. As you reach the turn, you will 
face new enemies, Giant Mantis. Kill it and continue on 
around the bend, being sure to grab the seed of running off 
the tree. Continue up the mountain, proceeding forward into 
a slightly wide plain. Battle any enemies and makes sure to 
grab the 600G in the bottom right corner of this area. When 
ready, go right and take the upper most path. Grab the seed 
of psyche and the 200G as you turn the path. At this point 
I recommend you pick off some enemies to build your levels 
and such. 

-Once readywait. Stop. Please note this area is very 
confusing as there are many paths, so bear with me and 
remember the instructions I give you. Ok. Remember where 
you entered this latest area? Ok? Go there. Once there, 
turn to face the new area you just entered. Go slightly up 
and to your left and break the newly found rocks and go in 
there ( this new area will overlook the large plain you 
first entered ). All there is in this small area is some 
dash shoes.  Grab it and promptly go back to the rocks from 
which you broke through to enter. Once there, proceed down 
all the way to the bottom of this area and get the 600G in 
a chest. Once you have that, go all the way back to the top 
and to the right, entering Baked Plains two. 

----------------
Baked Plains Two:
----------------

-Once you enter this new and confusing area, go around the 
steam and to the right, going to the tree and grabbing the 
seed of defense. Go now to the right and past the steam and 
enemies, breaking a giant rock you will see in front of 
stepping stones to a chest. Get the contents of the chest 
and double back and forward, grabbing the 200G. Once done 
with all that, proceed around, grabbing as much as you can 
( 600G, 200G in various places ). Alright, I will be honest 
with you in this case. I got lost while writing this. So I 
needed to try to find myself. Run around until you find the 
SEED OF SWIFT TREE, its in a cul de sac. From there we will 
proceed, okay? Ok. Here we go: Leave and go around to the 
left, hugging the wall. Proceed around the rock and the 
bend and to the left. Grab the Poff nut and quickly, I mean 
quickly, run up and to the left into baked plains three. 
Phew!!!


------------------
Baked Plains Three
------------------


-As you enter the baked plains three, you will notice that 
there are seemingly no enemies around. In front of you is a 
save cone, is this a good or bad sign? Proceed to do what 
you will with the cone and continue onward, down the path 
in a straight direction. After a short time, the party will 
slow down and the group will talk to each other

Roan: Look, I can see it, Miss Elena!<<Runs away and 
quickly returns>> Please!! Come quickly!<<Runs off>>

Elena: He is a spirited one.

Ryudo: That wasn't the word I had in mind. I suppose we 
should take a look. 

-Ryudo and Elena rush to see a glorious view. THE 
GRANACLIFFS!!!! They are a virtual cut in the earth, 
created a long time ago from the battle between good and 
evil, when Granas struck the decisive blow to Valmar!

Roan: These are the Granacliffs. 

-Your view goes to that of an overhead pan. You finally get 
a sense of the epic proportions of these mighty cliffs. 
They literally span the globe. 

Elena: So these are the Granacliffs. 
 
Ryudo: A scar splitting the face of the Silesian Continent. 
I take it you haven't seen it before. 

Elena: Scripture speaks of it, yet the size. The land still 
aches, its wound yet felt. The battle of good and evil 
still so close. 
 
Ryudo: And still after all these years. No one has come up 
with a better name than the battle of good and evil.

Elena: How will we make our crossing? 

Roan<<pointing>>: Look over there

-The view changes to that of a massive ship ascending from 
the granacliffs. It appears to be on some sort of skyline. 

Roan: That's called the skyway. We ride on that across the 
granacliffs. The ship lands in a town not far ahead. Once 
we cross here, it is only a stone's throw to the St. Heim 
Papal State.  

Skye: Or, you could all grow wings and I wouldn't have to 
wait for you. 

Elena: Incredible. This is just so exciting!

Ryudo: Don't overdo it. We're camping here tonight.

Roan: Good idea.

Ryudo: Hey, Elena! Sleeping on your feet again? Let's 
move!!

Elena: Hmm? Oh no, not at all! 

-After this the part spies a nice place to camp and build 
camp. The group then proceeds to erect a fire and sit 
around it, discussing dinner. I will put the following here 
as it pertains to the story. The order I select does not 
matter. 

----------------------------------
Baked Plains Campfire Conversation
----------------------------------


Ryudo: Dinner with a view, kids. Watch your step when you 
go to the little girl's room. 

Ryudo: Check it out. We're closing in on Liligue, and from 
there, the St. Heim Papal State!

Elena: The Granacliffs are incredible! You must see them to 
believe them. The world is really in a pitiful state. 

Roan: It sure is a hassle that the world is split in half 
by these granacliffs. Now I remember! It was the battle of 
good and evil that made these granacliffs, right? Miss 
Elena? Will you tell me about the battle of good and evil? 

Elena: I don't really know very much myself, butThey 
stay long ago the people lived happily, bathed in the light 
of Lord Granas. Then Valmar came and tried to take the 
light from the people. And so began the battle of good and 
evil. At the battle's end, Lord Granas' sword, which he 
raised to cut down Valmar, went right through Valmar into 
the earth, creating a huge fissure across the land. And 
that is how the granacliffs came to be. 

Ryudo: You'd think that if Granas had a sword big enough to 
carve out the continent, he'd be a bit more careful about 
where he'd drop it. 

Elena: It cannot be helped! Just think what the world would 
have been like without Lord Granas! 

Ryudo: Granas had a painful shortage of slack. 

Roan: Now that you mention Valmar, the devil of darkness, 
can you feel Miss Millenia? Miss Elena? 

Elena: I cannot believe it! That Valmar is inside of me! 
People must not be caught by darkness. They will be able to 
live only in darkness. They will no longer feel for other 
people. Darkness warps a person's soul. If someone is truly 
caught by darkness, that person will have no future. 

Ryudo: Hmm, then I guess I've no future either.

Elena: No, no. Ryudo, you cannot be one of the dark ones. 
Darkness is much more, um, wicked. 

Roan: Mister Ryudoyou are neither wicked nor a dark one. 
Darkness is something completely different. 

Elena: I do not really understand it myself, but, darkness 
makes people sad and lonely. I hate it. 

Ryudo: We have to get going early tomorrow, lets hit the 
hay. 

------------------------------------
End Conversation Around The Campfire
------------------------------------

-After the conversation, the party turns in for the night, 
retreating to the tentbut something is terribly, 
terribly wrong. 

Elena<<sleeping>>: Stopstop it! Stay away from me. My body 
is!! MELTING!! Stay AWAY FROM ME!!!<<sits up>>

Ryudo: What's wrong, Elena? You were screaming in your 
sleep. 

Elena: A huge tongue-like thing, was coiled around me. And 
it was, devouring me. 

Ryudo<<standing up>>: Shhh. That's strange. It's to quiet. 
Hey! Roan. WAKE UP!!!

-You hear something, scaring the group terribly. It is a 
fearsome GROOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWL

Ryudo: Shhh, something's here!
All: <<SCREAM>>

-Upon this the tent collapses as an unknown assailant 
confronts the party. 

Creature: Ive finally found you!!! Ill teach you a lesson!!

-The creature attacks you


-----------------------------------------------------------
===========================================================
BOSS BATTLE THREE: THE BEAST-MAN MAREG
HP: 4800/4800
Attacks: Combo Attack ( 150 Per )
Magic Attacks:
Special Attacks: Beast Fang Cut ( 350 ), 
===========================================================
-----------------------------------------------------------


-------------
Battle Start:
-------------

-As you confront the Beast-Man, you will notice, well that 
he is huge, powerful looking, and carrying a very, very 
large axe weapon. Be wary. Start the battle by having all 
three characters use their main specials. Have Roan use his 
golden hammer to cancel the Beast-Man's powerful specials. 
Have Ryudo use his purple lightning or Flying Tensekenu as 
it does a good deal of damage and does not cost that much. 
Have Elena use her impact bomb to cancel the Beast-Man's 
powerful attacks again. Keep hitting hard

--------------------------------
How to finish off the Beast-Man:
--------------------------------

-Now that he is slowly going down in health, continue 
pounding but be wary, as his attacks increase in my 
experience in power the longer you battle. Have whoever the 
ZAP! Spell use it, as it is an effect replacement for 
specials. Also Howl works rather well in a pinch. Keep 
pounding hard with Ryudo, unleashing your most powerful 
attacks to quell the rage of the Beast-Man. As you keep 
fighting, he will most certainly damage you severely. Have 
whoever has it use Heal or more advanced forms, as to die 
at this point is a waste of a Yomi's Elixir. Keep pounding, 
healing every so often. Remember to keep using the Golden 
Hammer and the Impact Bomb of Roan and Elena as needed, as 
the Beast-Man has POWERFUL specials that will need 
canceling. Ah shoot. When I was fighting him I DID indeed 
die with Ryudo once. Damn, this is the end. Oh well, I 
shall revive him and continue. This is a lesson to you, PAY 
ATTENTION while battling a boss!! Once you defeat him, you 
will get generous sums of Experience and Special Coins. 
Congrats!!

---------------------
End Boss Battle Three
---------------------

-After the battle a conversation ensues. 

Mareg: Are you not him??
Ryudo: What, what is the meaning of this!!
Mareg: Your smell called me, you smell as that of the 
villain who attacked my village. The small of that scum, 
drives me crazy. I must find himMELFICE!
Skye: What, he said Melfice, Ryudo!!
Ryudo: <<flashback to a scene we yet not know>> I smell 
like Melfice??
Mareg: You know Melfice?
Ryudo: I might
Mareg: I see. Your smell does not have the dank smell of 
death, I had forgotten myself
Ryudo: Hey, you, my brois Melfice alive!
Mareg: Melfice is a demon man, bringer of ruin. My name is 
Mareg, I'm sorry for attacking you. 
Elena: Ryudo
Ryudo: Demon man! He is just a common murderer
Elena: What is all this, who is Melfice
Ryudo: Melfice is my brother. 

-At this point, after a strange happening as you notice, 
you regain control. Head all the way to the right, grabbing 
a swiftness nut on the way, and out of the baked plains. 
From the Silesian Continent, travel to Liligue city. 


--------------------------------------------------
Liligue, A Nouveau Town With A Tongue Like Problem
--------------------------------------------------


-Pan over the city. Wow, The wave of the future is here! 
This city is very futuristic. A grandiose skyway dominates 
the town, as it is the focal point of the town's economy. 
This is the beloved skyway that you must use to get across 
the granacliffs. Continue looking over the town, you will 
see many people, however, something seems terribly wrong. 
They are not energetic nor very active at all, they seem 
almost models of listlessness. There is a new church even 
on the hill, you must make a note to stop here at one 
point. As you enter the town, you see a discussion going 
on. 

Man: Dammit, this would otherwise be such a nice town. 

Woman: You mean if this town were not cursed by darkness, 
it would be a nice town. 

Elena: Oh my, what is the matter?

Woman: I can't live here anymore! We're leaving. 

Ryudo: Leave them alone, Elena. 

Man: You planning on staying in town? I advice against it. 
Besides, the gates won't open until tomorrow. 

Ryudo: Isn't the skyway running? 

Man: Not until tomorrow, but don't get your hopes up. They 
don't let people on it. 

Ryudo: Come again? 

Roan: Huh? But people were on it just now. 

Woman: For the private use of that miserable Gadan. Maybe 
its for the best, since anyone who visits this town wants 
to leave as soon as possible. 

Man: Hey, just forget about it. 

Elena: Um, if there is anything I can do. 

Man: Thank you for your kind offer, but we cant stay in 
this town. There's nothing left for us here. 

-At that, the family walks away, and out of the town. 

Ryudo: Cheerful folk.  But, if I listened to every piece of 
good advice I heard. I would have killed all of you and 
already run off with your gold. 

Elena: I am exhausted, shall we find an inn? 

Roan: Don't worry, miss Elena. I heard this place has, what 
was it? It is a delicacy around here. If I remember the 
name we could try it. 

-At this point you regain control. Proceed into the General

-----------------------------------------------------------


-When you regain complete control, leave the store and 
return to the inn, where you will ask to spend the night. 
After a short talk with the innkeeper, you find yourself 
around a table, eating a supposed "delicacy" of the land. 


---------------------------------
Liligue Dinner Table Conversation
---------------------------------

Ryudo: C'mon! Lets try that stuff Roan calls a delicacy! 

Ryudo: Huh? Hey Roan? What is this? 

Roan: Yessssssscccccchhhhhhh!! How can this be a famous 
local Delicacy?! This must be an acquired taste. 

Elena: Do people really eat this? It has the oddest 
texture. 

Ryudo: Agh! This can't be edible! Its like eating sand! 

Roan: It feels so rough in my mouth. Are you sure this is 
even edible? 

Elena: I have never had such mushy food. How can people 
even eat this stuff??!

Ryudo: This innkeeper must be psychotic to expect us to eat 
this! We're not going to be staying here any longer than we 
need to, so don't go getting comfortable. 

Roan: Is this all they have to east here? I think I will 
abstain from meals from here on out. Can we get on the 
skyway soon? Please?  

Elena: I cannot imagine how ANYONE here can stomach this 
stuff. 

Ryudo: Ive been thinking we ought to go see this Gadan guy 
tomorrow. Lets go shake him up a bit. 

-----------------------------------------------
End Conversation Around Dinner Table At Liligue
-----------------------------------------------


-The morning ensues and it is now time to go see this 
famous Gadan character. Exit the inn and proceed up past 
where the gate used to be. Continue until you come to a 
downtrodden little boy


-------------------------------------
Conversation with Engineer and Family
-------------------------------------


Elena: Oh my goodness! Are you alright? <<After No 
response>> What is the matter? Where does it hurt?? 

Son: I'm hungry. 

Elena: Ahh. This is a problem easily remedied. I am sure we 
have something to eat. Please, a moment. <<produces an 
apple for the boy, who laments over it with pleasure for a 
second, but then gets up and runs away>>. Isis the boy 
sick? 

Man<<walking bye and seeing this>>: Young miss, please do 
not give him any food. It is too much of a temptation. 

Elena: What do you mean? 

Man: The people of this town cannot eat normal food even if 
they wanted to. They can only bear that disgusting arum 
root. 

Elena: I do not understand. What do you mean they cannot 
eat? <<Man walks away>> 

Ryudo: Elena, don't talk to strangers. Besides, they could 
be diseased. 

Elena: If so, we must help them!! <<she runs into the kid's 
house>> 

-You enter the house of a downtrodden family. You see them 
suffering immensely, terribly hungry as all they can eat is 
a horrendous arum root, which is the "delicacy" you 
experienced last night. As you enter, they are sitting 
around a table, talking

Son: I'm hungry. 

Wife: I can't stand it any more. If we have to keep eating 
only arum root. We're going to die!!! 

Engineer: Shut up! You ask for too much. Here, eat 
this!Ouch. Blech. Its no use, I cant eat it either. 

Wife: Dear, let's leave this town. We can try starting a 
farm somewhere. 

Engineer: But we don't know if we will be able to eat even 
if we leave this town! I'm sorry. We will manage, somehow. 

Elena: What exactly is going on in this town? 

Engineer: You must be travelers. You ought to leave this 
town quickly. 

Elena: What is your difficulty? I serve lord Granas. 

Wife: The people of this town have lost their sense of 
taste. 

Elena: Their sense of taste? 

Wife: Thanks to the skyway, this town was once a bustling 
trade center. My husband had been working on the skyway. 
The work was hard, but the pay was good so we were never at 
want for anything. 

Engineer: But just ten days ago, all food began to lose its 
taste, it was like eating sand or rocks. Soon we lost all 
interest in eating almost any kind of food. We thought that 
only we were sick, but before we knew it, everyone in town 
was suffering. 

Wife: The only thing we could eat was arum root, which was 
tasteless to begin with. But now, no matter how much we 
eat, we never even begin to get full. 

Roan: I've never heard of a disease that makes you lose 
your sense of taste. How about you, Ryudo? 

Ryudo: Ask Elena. She doesn't seem to have much taste in 
anything, bonnets included. 

Wife: Maybe this town is somehow cursed. I don't remember 
anyone doing anything against the will of Lord Granas. 

Elena: You must be miserable. I wish there were something I 
could do. 

Ryudo: You worked on the skyway, right? How do we catch a 
lift? 

Engineer: In the center of town you will find the mansion 
of Mr. Gadan, manager of the skyway. You can ask him, but I 
doubt he will help you. 


-----------------------------------------------------------
End Conversation with Engineer and Family. Start 
Conversation with Gadan Shortly
-----------------------------------------------------------


-You regain control here. After talking to the terribly 
stricken family, exit the house. Proceed to visit this 
Gadan fellow, who does not seem very nice at all from what 
you have heard. Get to Gadan's house by simply following 
the brick road and searching for it. It is not hard to 
miss. As you enter, you will be greeted with a rotund 
figure who is feeding his face with god knows what. It 
appears this evil man is stuffing himself while his town 
starves. Cruelty, eh? Approach him and he will start 
talking.

Gadan: Well, well. I haven't seen you around here. 
Something I can do for you?

Ryudo: I heard that you aren't letting anyone on the 
skyway. I am here to change your mind. 
 
Gadan: Yes, we are not letting anyone on right now. This is 
a vital time for business. Carrying people drops our 
efficiency. 

Ryudo: I will make it worth your while. 

Gadan:<<In utter rapture as his tongue hangs oddly out>> 
Ah!! I didn't know you had a sister with you. She must be 
headed to Granas Cathedral. Well, more business. 

Ryudo: How much do you want. 

Gadan: 10,000 gold pieces should cover my costs<<continues 
to feed>>

Ryudo: Deal, Let's go. 

Gadan: Ah, not so quickly my friend. The last tram has 
already left. But do not fret. Another will be available 
come the morrow. 

Ryudo: Can't leave today then .

Elena: Obviously you can still stuff yourself with food! 
Why do you not share your secret with the townsfolk.<<Ryudo 
attempts to rush her>> 

Gadan: A strange thing to say sister. Do you imply that my 
health is something less then virtuous. That I should 
suffer as well? 

Elena: Well, no. 

Gadan: Ah, but I too am trouble by this cause. My employees 
are all stricken, which is hardly good for business. And 
with no cure. 

Elena: Is that so? 

Roan: Even then, I am amazed you can eat so much.<<Watches 
Gadan stuff his unyielding craw>> 

Gadan: Perhaps the others have sinned before Granas. 
Perhaps I alone remain blessed. Who can fathom the mind of 
god? Ah, delicious! Dear Sister <<sniff>> I can smell you 
quite nice. Were you aware that smell and taste are 
interrelated? 

Elena: What!!?

Ryudo: He seems healthy enough. Although I do question his 
taste in women. 

Elena: How can you remain so smug and impertinent while 
others stave about you? 

Gadan: I would watch my words, were I you, I pay my workers 
generously. This problem is none of my doing. The townsfolk 
would do well to thank me for seeing to bring prosperity to 
this town. 

Elena: How could such a thing have happened?

Gadan: Indeed, this town was known by many to have been 
touched by the hand of Granas. Perhaps he does not wish to 
soil his hand any further. But I am no expert. You should 
inquire within the church outside of town. Oh, but you do 
smell fine<<BURP>>

Ryudo: Tomorrow. 

-At this point you again regain control. I recommend you 
watch Gadan for at least a few seconds after this. Is he 
not just disgusting and that tongue ( note the header to 
this chapter ). Leave the house of the stuffed one and 
proceed up to the church. To get to the church, travel via 
the walk. Before the group goes, they lament to each other 
about the situation of the town and how Mr. Stuff Face in 
there is grafting them for all they are worth. Elena is 
especially upset, as she cannot fathom why Granas might be 
doing this. After some bickering you finally regain 
control. Like I was saying before I was so rudely 
interrupted by their conversation ( sorry I didn't record 
it, but I missed the first bit and simply gave up ), get to 
the church by taking the walkway to the dirt mound area and 
ascending the pile. When you reach the top of the hill, you 
will be standing in front of a grand and aesthetic church. 
Admire it, but your mission is inside, so proceed inward. 


------------------------------
Liligue Cathedral Conversation
------------------------------



-As you enter the church, you see it is empty save the 
pastor and one patron. Approach the father of this church 
and start talking with him. 

Father: May I help you, my dear travelers? 

Elena: Father, we have come with a question.

Father: Ah, I see that you too are one who serves Lord 
Granas. 

Elena: Father, what has happened to this town? To these 
people? 

Father: Ah, this is a question that troubles me as well. I 
do not know what has befallen us. Some say that the face of 
Lord Granas has turned from us, but still, I do not believe 
it. 

Elena: Yes, I have heard this tale. There are those in town 
who say they have lost the blessing of Granas. 

Ryudo: Pretty unreliable for a deity. If you want to keep 
your job as supreme overlord, you should keep your naughty 
and nice lists straight. 

Elena: Ryudo!

Ryudo: And I don't quite get this "blessing" stuff. That 
one lard butt looked pretty damn blessed to me. About two 
hundred pounds more blessed than anyone else around here. 

Father: Ah, you must mean Mr. Gadan. He too has changed. He 
was once a good man, loved by all. But then he began to 
change. He began to become obsessed with wealth and riches. 
And with nutrition as well. And as I recall, this occurred 
roughly around the same that that our current misfortunes 
befell us all. 

Ryudo: People deal with depression differently. Some sleep, 
others write, others suck food down their throats like 
garbage chutes. 

Roan: But what would that have to do with the townspeople 
not being able to eat? 

Elena: Father, forgive my companion's lack of tact, but I 
too wonder why this town is known to be blessed by Granas.

Father: Of course. Please go upstairs. You will see the 
truth for yourselves from above. 

-At this point you regain control as the father walks 
upstairs. Gather your wits ( one wonders what is going on 
if Gadan changed as well ) and wander after him. When you 
reach the top, you are greeted with an awe-inspiring sight. 
You can see the whole town from the Father's sanctuary. 
Approach the father and start talking.

Father: Please Look. 

-You glance the view I described above, seeing over the 
town and the people below. You notice one odd thing. Four 
Pillars are arranged throughout the town, leading to one 
point in the middle. 

Elena: These pillars look like to be part of a single ruin. 

Father: They are said to be the ruins of a temple. They 
were severely damaged when the town was rebuilt, but Mister 
Gadan says that they're still not sufficiently destroyed. 

-As the view changes from the sight to the party again, the 
conversation continues. 

Roan: I see. So this town as built on the ruins of an old 
temple of Granas. That is why this town is blessed. But, 
those pillars have a strange shape. As if there was 
something in the center. 

Ryudo: As if something were buried. 

Father: Now that you mention it, I have heard of an 
excavation at the base of the pillars. The pillars run 
deep- too deep to be removed. 

Ryudo: I'm not liking what I'm hearing. What do you think 
Elena. Sound Familiar? Ruined Temple? Burial Mound? Unholy 
piece of Valmar sealed up inside? 

Elena<<Shock>>: Like Garmia TOWER!! It cannot be. Valmar! 

Father: I-I have not heard of such a thing. 

Ryudo: Terrific/ Then we can be on our way. 

Elena: Hold, Ryudo. The suffering of the townspeople may be 
a result of the breaking of a seal. We must investigate. 

Ryudo: Hold there, gumshoe. I don't recall hunting down 
reawakening god of evil as being part of my job 
description. 
 
Elena: Saving those in need is the duty of those who follow 
Granas. I will not ignore my duty, Ryudo, and I most 
certainly will not ignore these people. We must aid them!! 
 
Ryudo: Now you are just being stubborn. Lets try to be 
rational here. One: I'm not being paid I repeat that I AM 
NOT BEING PAID. Two: Granas should be more than able to 
take care of Valmar without us. Three: You need to get to 
the cathedral as soon as possible. 

Elena: Ryudo, please. I cannot ignore their suffering .If I 
do, I might as well never take another step toward the 
cathedral. So you will not be moved, then. Very well, I 
will help them by myself. 

Ryudo: I'll have to protect you of course. <<grabs her 
cheeks>> Stop it with the self righteous expression. C'mon 
make a nice face for me. <<Elena Protests>> We'll check out 
the ruins. But tomorrow we take the skyway, n o matter how 
many kittens are stuck in trees. 

Elena: Oh, Ryudo!<<You all go downstairs>> Father, you 
spoke of an excavation. 

Father: Yes, but take caution. No one has been permitted to 
explore the ruins. There is much danger. 

Elena: Thank you father. Ryudo, Let us shall!<<starts to 
walk to the door with the group>> Oh, father. I have had 
terrible dreams of late. In there I am haunted by darkness. 
Does this mean that my soul is weak? 

Father: Do not allow darkness to have a doorway into your 
heart. A strong soul resists darkness. Carry yourself 
accordingly. 

Elena<<bowing>>: Thank you. 

Ryudo: Lets get this over with.

Roan: Oh, mister Ryudo, lets do it!


------------------------------------------
End Cathedral Conversation and Hello Mareg
------------------------------------------


-As you regain control, leave the cathedral. As you leave, 
you meet an "old" friend. 

Ryudo: Well, I'll be<<sees Mareg standing there on the 
hill watching the town and the group runs up to him>> 
Mareg, what brings you here? 

Mareg: The smell of this place, it offends the earth.

Ryudo: Wait, tell me. Is my brother here? What of Melfice? 
Where is he? What has he done? 

Mareg: I sense the foul work of that demon here. Do not ask 
of what came by his hand, for I wish not to bear the 
remembrance of it. 

Ryudo: But he is here? Or do you only suspect? 

Elena: Mister Mareg. This town is deeply troubled. Please, 
will you aid us in our search for the root of this evil? 
Will you help us put an end to it? 

Mareg: To protect the power of which you speak from ever 
being used again, I shall join you. 

Elena: Thank you very much! 

-Holy wow. Mareg, the third boss of the game, the powerful 
beast-man HAS JOINED YOUR PARTY! Excellent, his power will 
be a nice compliment to Ryudo. Equip him with whatever you 
will ( eggs and such ) and prepare for the dungeon. Visit 
the item shop if needed. When ready, from where you met 
Mareg, head down the hill. Run back to Gadan's House, where 
just outside you will see a silver grate. Go near it. 

-Ryudo: This must be the hole they dug. 
 
Mareg: The smell of decay comes from below. The soul stench 
of that villain. 

Ryudo: Melfice. Heads up Mareg! <<Mareg tries to open the 
grate, and then Ryudo bashes it with his sword, opening 
it>> All right, lets go.

Liligue Cave, The Foul Darkness of the Futuristic City
------------------------------------------------------
Weapons: Flame Bow
Armor: Flare Dress, Ancient Cuirass 
Accessories: Reflection Ring, Confusion Charm, Bonds of 
Trust, Revival Gem
Items: 400G x2, Mogay Bomb x2, Purifying Herb, 1200G x2, 
Smelling Salts, Book of Wizards. 
Enemies: Crag Snake, Giant Mantis, Frost Frog, Gargoyles, 
Ghouls, 
------------------------------------------------------

NOTE: In the cave there are random torches you can light by 
an action button. Do it if you find one. 

---------------------------
Liligue Cave One, Part One:
---------------------------


-As you enter, you will notice that this cave is very, very 
dark and mysterious. It is not well lit, so be careful as 
you proceed. Start by going forward to the save cone and 
using it to your will. Proceed forward after this, lighting 
the torches as you come to them. When you get to a fork in 
the path, turn right. Continue going until you see enemies 
and another fork in the road. Battle the enemies, defeat 
them, and turn right again ( see a pattern, always choose 
one direction and stick with it ). Battle any enemies that 
you come across and when you have a right hand turn, take 
it. Go to the end of the cave there and grab the Mogay 
Bomb. Turn around ( when we turn around, we'll be looking 
at things from the forward perspective. Go forward and down 
the tunnel. When you get to the T-Junction ( T ) turn 
right. Continue down the tunnel, lighting the torches as 
they fly by. When you come to the next T-Junction, turn 
right again. Proceed forward, down the cave, until we reach 
the end and you will grab a purifying herb. Turn around. 
Proceed forward and keep going. Pass where you just turned 
and go forward, turning left when you reach a fork in the 
road. 

-From the left turn, make your way continuously left until 
you reach the start again. Turn around and take the left 
hand path forward from the cave cone. Grab the 400G. 
Retrace your steps back to where you found the purifying 
herb. When you reach this area, turn around. Proceed 
forward, down the path, keeping straight when you see a 
left-hand turn. Go around the bend and when you come to 
that same fork in the road again, turn right this time. 
Keep going and lighting torches until you see a quite 
obvious choice of left or right. Take the right hand path 
and continue through the tunnels ( left is to the cave TWO, 
which we do not want just yet ).  Go to the end of the 
right hand path and get the 1200G from the chest. Double 
back and exit this level of the cave.



---------------------------
Liligue Cave Two, Part One:
---------------------------

-Now this is where it starts getting interesting. The level 
is no longer an excavation, but pure ruins. When you enter, 
turn right and battle the enemies. When you defeat them, 
get the chest ( another 1200G ). Then you have an 
interesting choice. You now must go through the new door 
and back to Liligue Cave One. Proceed. 



---------------------------
Liligue Cave One, Part Two: 
---------------------------

-Light the torch as you enter, fun isn't it. Proceed 
forward then grab the reflection ring you will clearly see. 
After you have it go righah! Fooled you! Go left. 
Continue forward and when you reach the fork, take the left 
hand path. Continue straight, ignoring the obviously 
present pit on your left, and when you reach a dead end? I 
guided you to a dead end? How do you like them apples. 
Teaches you to not explore on your own a little. I laugh at 
you. Hahaha. Er, anyway. Turn around. When you re-reach the 
fork, take the right path this time ( teaches us to go left 
). Reaching the end you will see it leads back to level 
two. Remember to double all the way back to the initial 
left turn ( turn right this time ) and go a short distance 
for another Mogay Bomb. 


---------------------------
Liligue Cave Two, Part Two: 
---------------------------


-As you enter, look around, finally you are back in the 
ruins. Turn to the left and start walking, but we aware of 
the Ghoul enemy, which is tall and very tough. When you see 
it, go down into the slight gully to get the 400G. When you 
have it, pull out and continue straight down the path. 
Curve the path, pass a few enemies ( battling any that you 
wish ), and proceed on as planned. When you come to a big 
left hand turn ( only option ) take it wide as to possibly 
avoid any enemies you might wish to not fight due to 
whatever reasons you may have. Personally, I would fight 
all of them, as you will need experience and levels, along 
with coins. Continue forward until you see this strange 
blue stone with orbs on pillars around it. Odd, isn't it. I 
is as if it was part of some large contraption. Oh well. Go 
and step on the tablet in front of the blue stone, you will 
hear a rumbling noise. Turn around and double back, seeing 
you now have options to go left and right just a short 
distance down the path. Turn right of course and continue 
onward, battling the enemies you find. Open the chest you 
will see in front of you, grabbing the Confusion Charm 
within. Grab the other chest's Bonds of Trust also. 

-After you have these two items, proceed down the stairs 
you will see in this room. Go push at the green orb. You 
will see that back where that large blue stone was the 
green orb has lit up. Ah-ha, so that is the secret. You 
must find the two remaining orbs and light them also. 
Proceed back up the stairs, sure of what to do. Once up, 
turn to your right and up, exiting this current area. 
Proceed down the pathway until you reach a portal. Go 
through the portal and notice the ledge. Turn to your left 
and go along the rock way, fighting the gargoyles as they 
come. When you reach the stone tablet, read it. It is a 
clue

-"The Huge Boxes which once moved return to their original 
positions when you leave the room"-

-Note this hint and turn around. Go straight, past the 
portal, and go across the narrow bit of rock. Once across 
your only option is to turn right and down. Remember to 
always change the views so you can see. Proceed just a bit 
forward and turn right into the portal. Proceed forward and 
you will see what the clue is talking about, two boxes. Go 
up the stairs to them and stop a moment to examine the 
situation. Oh boy, this one is hard. One box sticks out and 
two are pushed in. Push the first box on the right that 
sticks out to solve this incredibly hard puzzle. Proceed 
back down the stairs, go the right, and up the next set of 
stairs. When you reach the top, surprise, a trap! A ghoul 
pops out from a hidden compartment in a top box and 
attacks. Defeat it and continue across the blocks to raise 
and light the red orb. When done, go back across and down 
the stairs again. Go to your right and up, leaving the room 
( watch the boxes reset ). Go through the portal and jump 
down the cliff. Remember this place? Go up and around the 
bend first off, then when you come to it, enter the right 
hand portal. Run into this room and notice the blue orb in 
it. Go up the stairs and work your way along the winding 
way, battling your way to the orb. Activate it and presto, 
all three are up and running, revealing a yellow orb. Fun! 
Run back down the crisscross stairs and turn right when you 
reach the bottom. Proceed forward and when you reach the 
portal, turn right. 

-You will now see the yellow orb. Run to it and activate 
it, thus having all four orbs active. The large, large door 
behind the orbs will now open, providing you an exit from 
these ruins. 


-------------------
Liligue Cave Three:
-------------------


-As you enter this area, you will first get a large glance 
at where you are, on the ledge of the granacliffs. Once you 
get complete control, adjust the view to fit. When ready, 
go along the path, keeping a nice steady pace. When you see 
the save cone ( HINT, HINT ), use it. Enter the caverns.


----------------------
Liligue Cave, Caverns:
----------------------


-As you enter the final area of the Liligue cave, you will 
notice one very, very large thing terribly wrong. You will 
see another orb of Granas broken as the group laments.

Mareg: It's stench, the smell of decay!

Elena: This is a seal of Lord Granas!

Roan: But the seal is broken, what could have been here!!

-As you say this, the TONGUE OF VALMAR enters the scene, 
bursting through the wall. It proceeds to gobble up Elena 
whole!!! After it does, where Elena was starts to glow 
light as Millenia is transformed into by Elena and escapes.

Millenia: How dare you miserable! I won't stand being 
eaten! 

Ryudo: Great, she is back. 

Mareg: What? What just happened? 

Roan: Oh! Miss that you Miss Millenia!? We meet 
again!Miss Millenia? 

Millenia: He, he. <<laughs>> So now you get to make the 
acquaintance of me and my friends.<<Tongue runs as Millenia 
powers up>> C'mon! After him! 

Ryudo: It is so vague. What're you referring to? 

Millenia: Forget it, just go! 

-You regain control. At this point, go into the menu and 
power up whatever you have to power up. Ryudo's Flying 
Tensekenu, Millenia's Wing Attack, etc. Be wary and ready 
when you go forward. When ready,  proceed forward. Before 
you fight, get the chest and its stuff. Equip Millenia with 
these new items. Time for tongue. Enter the temple ruins, 
following the tongue. 


--------------------
Liligue Temple Ruins
--------------------


-As you enter, you will go forward and confront the tongue. 

Ryudo: Unless Melfice has put on some weight, this isn't 
him. 

Mareg: This beast is the source of the village's troubles. 
Caution! It's smell augurs danger. 

Tongue: You look delicious little ones. I shall strip your 
bones of your fine flesh, yes? So tender. So succulent. 
Come, let me taste you. And the wings of Valmar shall make 
a fine main course, yes? 

Ryudo: That voice is familiar. Ahh. Gadan. Gadan, let me 
guess, new haircut? 

Millenia: Ha, ha, ha, ha. So the tongue of Valmar wants a 
taste of me? Here's something to chew on!



-----------------------------------------------------------

===========================================================
Left Hand: 
Hp: 4000/4000
Attacks: Normal Slam ( 150 ).
Special Attacks: Poison Spew
Magic Attacks:  None
===========================================================
-----------------------------------------------------------



=======================================
---------------------------------------
Battle Opening: Take out the Right Hand
---------------------------------------
=======================================


-As you start, you will notice this is no ordinary boss. 
This is a piece of Valmar. It has four parts: A Tongue 
Body, A head, and two hands. This looks tough, doesn't it? 
You must start with the weakest link, the hands. 
Concentrate your fire on one hand, usually the right. Have 
your characters unload with their most powerful attacks. 
Ryudo uses flying Tensekenu, Mareg uses his most powerful, 
Roan uses magic or his most powerful, and Millenia should 
use her Fallen Wings spell. Bash that right hand. Once 
unloaded, recoil and attack again, healing if needed. Have 
Roan use his golden hammer to cancel the deadly attacks of 
the main tongue and head. Have Mareg do the same thing with 
his beast-fang-cut. In the meantime, have Ryudo and 
Millenia unload until it is dead, which should not take too 
long considering these are your best attacks. The right 
hand dies. Time to switch hands.


======================================
--------------------------------------
Keep That Wind: Take out the Left Hand
--------------------------------------
======================================


-Now that the right hand is dead, switch focus to the left 
hand. You will have a slightly more difficult time with 
this hand, as your special points for those hard hitting 
attacks will be just starting to wane. Send your cancel 
attacks forward, disabling the specials for a short time ( 
Golden Hammer, Arrow Shot, Beast-King-Smash ). Have Ryudo 
continue to use his Flying Tensekenu despite the high cost. 
Once your characters run out of special points, which they 
most assuredly will, switch to magic. Have Ryudo ( who has 
the holy egg if you are like I am ) use his combo attacks 
on the hand as your egg is still not powered up. Have 
whomever has it use zap and howl/howlslash.  Have everyone 
start pounding quickly with combos and critical attacks on 
the left hand while having magic users attack. At this 
point you should look into healing, as if you are like I am 
at this point, you are starting to get low in health. Pound 
the left hand until it is gone. 


=====================================
-------------------------------------
Continue the Battle: Destroy the Head
-------------------------------------
=====================================


-Now the two pestering hands are gone, but so are your 
special points. Time to get down to the real boss part of 
Valmar, his head. The head is probably the toughest single 
unit because of it's attacks ( beyond starving tongue ). 
Pound on it with your best magic first off ( Howlslash, 
Burn, Burn flame, Zap! ) and have whomever does not have 
any of these use combo attacks. Howlslash is especially 
useful, as it does trailing damage ( line up damage ) so if 
you cast it on this head it will hit the body. Continue 
pounding the head with whatever you have. As you slowly 
regenerate special points, use your special attacks again 
when you have enough points regenerated ( Cancel specials 
of course to stop the attacks of the tongue ). Bash it 
until it dies finally. 


==================================================
--------------------------------------------------
Time to Finish the Job: Take out the Tongue Itself
--------------------------------------------------
==================================================


-At this point, Valmar's Tongue's main body should have 
around 6000 HP left if you followed my plan. Heal the party 
first, as his Starving Tongue attack does a good deal of 
damage. Once healed, unload with everything you have. Have 
Ryudo use his Tenseiken Slash or Purple Lightning ( if you 
have enough for the Flying Tensekenu, use it ), have 
Millenia use her Arrow Short or Howlslash, have Roan use 
his Zap!, And have Mareg just pound away. Continue 
unloading, healing as needed. Just simply pound away and 
use many cancels and this battle is yours. When the tongue 
is finally defeated, you will procure marvelous items: An 
ancient cuirass, a revival gem, and a book of wizards.

End Boss Battle
---------------
===============


-After you finish off the horrendous tongue, Millenia 
laments.

Millenia: He appears to be a bit tongue tied, or is that to 
tongue and cheek? 

-At this point Millenia absorbs the Tongue into her, 
removing it from the area. 

Millenia: Aah. Finally we got one. I feel full of power! 
Mmm, feels so good! 

Roan: Miss Millenia! What just happened? 

Ryudo: What did you do?? 

Millenia: Hee, hee. That's a S-E-C-R-E-T. See you later 
Ryudo! 

-At this, Millenia transforms back into Elena. A bright 
light surrounds her and Elena appears where Millenia used 
to be. 

Roan: I-I cant believe Miss Millenia is really Valmar. 

Mareg: The Smell. Is gone. So it was not Melfice. 

Elena: Ryudo? Where am I? What has happened!? 

-At this the group carries the deposed Gadan back to his 
home and lays him on the floor. They continue to talk. 

Elena: Ryudo, what just happened to him? 

Ryudo: You remember anything after being swallowed by the 
Tongue of Valmar? 

Elena: No. 

Ryudo: Well, Millenia appeared again. And, according to 
her, Gadan was possessed by the Tongue of Valmar. I will 
not comment on THAT, but apparently this was the source of 
the town's troubles. 

Elena: Our holy book contains a passage that speaks of 
this. First Valmar possesses one's soul, and then devours 
it. Maybe this is what happened to Gadan. The poor man. 
Valmar took advantage of the weakness of his Soul. 

Ryudo: After we beat Gadan, the tongue of Valmar, Millenia 
did something to him, it. This is the result. 

Elena: Each piece of Valmar can feed off of another to 
increase their own power. How revolting. This man must have 
had his soul devoured. 

Ryudo: I can't believe she'd do such a thing. 

Roan: Me too. Didn't we manage to fix the town's problems, 
only thanks to miss Millenia? 

Elena: I cant believe it either, I think its just a 
coincidence. 

Mareg: Millenia and the tongue of Valmar. Lo, the tongue of 
Valmar stank of ruin, as does Melfice. 

Ryudo: Are you saying that Melfice is possessed? 

Mareg: I know not. No matter, he is dangerous. Possessed or 
otherwise. But I will have my vengeance. 

Ryudo: Mareg, when I'm finished with Elena, uh, this job, 
let me go along with you. 

Mareg: I know not where to begin my search, and this land 
is unfamiliar to me. You would not be unwelcome should you 
choose to come. 

Ryudo: Right. What about you Elena? 

Elena: I am sure that the wings of Valmar are within me. 
Every night, I can feel the darkness drawing across my soul 
like a shroud. The cold, I must see his holiness Zera. 

Roan: The townspeople seem to be all better! 

Ryudo: Okay. So we go straight to Granas cathedral. 

-At this you regain control. Turn up and run to the skyway 
station, which is just above Gadan's house. When you enter 
it, proceed straight up. When you reach the stairs, you 
will meet a friendly person. You will see Engineer and his 
family coming down the stairs again.

Ryudo: Feeling better?

Engineer: Yes, thanks to the sister and your party. Thank 
you very much. 

Wife: I am so glad that we are back to normal. I just 
cannot thank you enough. 

Son: Thank you, miss! 

Engineer: I have something important to do, so

-At this, the family walks off and Ryudo with his group are 
left alone.

Elena: So, measure for measure, all's well that ends well. 
The townsfolk have been saved, and all is as it should be. 
Mr. Gadan, well, he took care of his body, but, not his 
soul. Perhaps this was his error. 

Ryudo: He was right, to a certain extent. 

Elena: What do you mean? 

Ryudo: The people of this town, they sacrificed their well-
being for the promise of wealth. Gadan didn't have to do 
anything, really, the people decided what they wanted. A 
subtle trap. 

Elena: But, still. The trap has been sprung. All has been 
put right. If everyone works together, happiness will 
return to even this broken world, Lord Granas yet watches 
over us. 

Ryudo: You've missed the point entirely, princess. The 
story doesn't end here. We don't all hold hands and skip 
home. 

Elena: Huh? 

Ryudo: The world is not so black and white. The answers 
aren't as pat as you'd like to believe. 

Elena: What else do you mean? 

Ryudo: You'll find out eventually. Come on, we've yet to 
cross the Granacliffs! Just a little father to the 
Cathedral!

-At this you regain control again. Walk up the stairs to 
the top platform. Head to the door of the sky ship. Enter 
it. 



-----------------------------------------------------------
===========================================================
Part E: The Snowy Forest, The Mysterious Garden, The 
Zealot, The Embittered Woman, and the Eye
===========================================================
-----------------------------------------------------------



-As you enter the sky skip, you will be rocketed across the 
granacliffs. You will see an elegant cinema of the ship 
going across the sky, on the wires. This trip will take a 
good while though, so as you wait on the sky ship as it 
crosses the granacliffs, your group talks. 


----------------------------------
Conversation Above the Granacliffs 
----------------------------------


Ryudo: Elena, you are looking pretty pale. Are you okay? 
Don't you remember anything at all? 

Elena: What was I doing while it all happened? Just what 
happened? Roan? 

Roan: The tongue of Valmar and Miss Millenia. Just what was 
that about? Miss Elena? I cannot understand it. 

Elena: What happened to me? Ryudo? 

Mareg: Elena, are you well? Do you not remember fighting 
with the tongue? And just who is this, Millenia? 

Elena: What happened to me, tell me guys!!?

Roan: I do not quite understand what that was all about. 

Ryudo: Don't you remember going to the seal? Or being 
attacked? 

Elena: I do not remember. I felt faint. Almost like I was 
sleeping. 

Mareg: So there was not only one evil smell

Roan: I cannot believe that Miss Millenia is Valmar.

Ryudo: That monster was the tongue of Valmar. Elena, when 
you were attacked by the Tongue, Millenia appeared again. 
And then she helped us kick the hell out of that tongue. 
Finally, Millenia did something to Gadan and he ended up 
like that. 

Elena: She destroyed the man's soul, right? How can you be 
so insensitive!

Roan: The tongue of Valmar. One of the pieces Valmar left 
after he was defeated by Granas. 

Mareg: I know little of Valmar and religion. I am here only 
to purge that evil smell. Melfice. Even his name reeks of 
evil. I have traveled so far. I shall find Melfice. 

Elena: We must go to Granas Cathedral and appeal to his 
Holiness Zera. Maybe he can do something about Valmar. 

Ryudo(Z): Elena, Calm Down! The Cathedral is just across 
the Granacliffs. 


-----------------------------------
End Conversation Aboard The Sky Line
-----------------------------------


Elena: Valmar is inside of me. 

-At this a screeching noise can be heard from the ship, as 
if something is terribly wrong. 

Roan: What is happening?<<Stands up and looks out of the 
Place>>

-At this point, Elena stands up and sounds very cryptic. 

Elena: Darkness, Darkness is coming. Its coming, its 
calling me!!

Roan: Where!!?

-At this something terrible happens. The Moon of Valmar is 
shown, its red entirely boiling the Granacliffs over as 
Elena is still there moaning. The cliffs glow red as the 
ship tosses and turns. Ryudo yells for everyone to hang on, 
but it is too late and the ship comes crashing down just on 
the other side. Flash forward to the morning. The party is 
waking up on the opposite side of the cliffs. 

Ryudo: Hmm. We have got problems. What happened? 

Roan: Valmar's moon seemed to be shining. 

Mareg: Check yourselves for injury. 

Ryudo: Hey! Damnit, where is Elena! 

Mareg: Perhaps she had fallen earlier? 

Ryudo: Can't be!ELENA! She's got to be around here 
somewhere. 

Mareg: I am picking up her scent. Come, this way! This way! 

-At this the party runs after Mareg, who quickly dashes 
off. Flash forward to Elena, who is lying in a pile of 
snow. 

Millenia: Elena, Elena!! Wake up!
Elena: Who are you, where are we. 
Millenia: Where are we, I'm not quite sure. See that shiny 
plate over there, look over there. Pleased to meet you 
Elena, I'm Millenia. Are you ok?
Elena: I must be dreaming. 
Millenia: I just thought it be hard to talk to you if not 
face to face, so here I am. 
Elena; Can't be, you are Millenia, the Wings of Valmar!
Millenia: That's me! 
Elena: You dark one, devourer of souls, stay away from me!
Millenia: Hey, you don't even know me! I did save you!
Elena: Saved me?
Millenia: That's right! I have to look out for the both of 
us, we share the same body, don't we. Bye!!
Elena: Wait!
Millenia: I will be with you always, all the time. See? So, 
lets try to get along, shall we miss Granas songstress. 

-After this most surprising encounter, Roan finds Elena 
standing there, perplexed. 

Roan: Hey! Miss Elena! 

Mareg: Elena!? Are you well? 

Ryudo: Elena! Thank the blade. You don't look hurt. What is 
it? You look like you have seen a ghost. 

Elena: Perhaps it was an apparition. For it was not a 
dream. The day of darkness draws near. Valmar's moon swells 
with wrath. The dark ones gathers strength yet again. The 
time of Valmar's awakening is at hand. 

Ryudo: Hey, hey! Its okay Elena. ELENA!

Elena:<<Standing up>> Forgive me. I am all right. Ryudo. I 
have just had a strange experience. 

Ryudo: Least we avoided taking a dive into the Granacliffs. 
I wonder how far off course we were blown to come to this 
strange place. 

Roan: Looks like we were blown along the Granacliffs 
towards the north. 

Ryudo: Looks like we are walking from here. To the 
Cathedral!

Elena: Yes, we must hurry. 


-----------------------------------------------------------
The Lumir Forest, the Gateway to the Rest of Silesia
-----------------------------------------------------------
In the Forest:
--------------
Weapons:
Armor: Odd Wooden Clogs, 
Accessories:
Items: Lumir Flower x2, 400G x5, Insecticide Bomb x2, 
1200G, 
Enemies: 
-----------------------------------------------------------


-------------------------
Lumir Forest, Crash Site
-------------------------

-At this you regain control. Turn around and proceed down 
the snowy path, past the snow-enclosed tree. Tread through 
thick snow and turn to your right, treading through more 
snow. Follow the path to its end and grab the Lumir Flower 
from its chest. Double around and proceed through the 
double snows again until you reach just beyond the second 
ground pile. When out, go straight forward. Keep going 
forward, turning left when you can and grabbing the 400G. 
Double around and turn left, heading deeper into the 
forest.


--------------------------
The Lumir Forest: Part One
--------------------------


-Now you are officially in the forest. Proceed forward, 
using the save cone if needed. Continue going and when you 
reach a giant open area ( mixed with trees and rock ) just 
keep going forward. As a bonus, you get new enemies, the 
legendary Big Foot! Keep going ( past that giant rock ) and 
turn left, opening and grabbing the contents in the chest 
you will see. When you have that, turn to the right and 
take the small path you will see. Enter the cave. 



------------------------
Lumir Cavern, Cavern One
------------------------


-When you enter, you will notice there are many roots in 
this cave, as this is a forest. Proceed forward, cutting 
the first set of roots when you come to them. When you 
reach the T-Junction, turn right and continue along, 
cutting the next set of roots when you get to them. Proceed 
forward and grab the gold from the chest. Now turn around. 
Proceed along the winding path, keeping straight, until you 
get to the next set of roots, cutting them and continuing 
on. Here you will see an open area. Proceed forward and 
grab the 400G and be met with a new foe, the Giant Crab. 
Defeat them in tough battles and continue on. From where 
you picked up the gold, go back towards where you entered 
but go in the second path ( one on Ryudo's left ) by 
cutting the roots. Proceed forward and turn to your left, 
grabbing the gold and engaging in another battle or two. 
While you are fighting, notice the nice echoes are 
generated as the characters do battle. Heh, cool, isn't it? 

-Continue forward. When you come to a place where you can 
either turn right or go straight, turn right and cut the 
roots to continue. Continue the path, grabbing the Lumir 
Flower when you reach it. Continue on, cutting the next set 
of roots when you reach them, and proceeding back into 
familiar territory. When you reach this area again ( just 
came out of here ), turn right and go straight to the top 
of the area. When you re-reach the straight/right junction, 
go straight this time, cutting the roots to proceed. After 
cutting the roots, turn left. You will see on your left a 
small rooted off area ( look like a door ). Cut it and 
follow the path beyond, grabbing the clog shoes. Double 
back and exit this tunnel, turning left and cutting the 
large roots this time. After they are cut, continue down 
the path and out to the forest. 


----------------------
Lumir Forest: Part Two
----------------------


-As you emerge, I recommend you kill all the enemies in 
this area for experience, as you will need it in the 
village ahead. First proceed forward and to the left, 
grabbing the 400G. Then look for the tree, as it is very 
hard not to miss. When you get to the tree, go inside of 
it.


------------------------
Lumir Forest: Cavern Two
------------------------


-As you enter, you will notice this tree is seemingly the 
crux of the forest. The heart and soul of it. There are 
various tubes and vines going into various sources of 
water. I will warn you, this is all one huge maze with one 
way out and many dead ends. My explanations will be very 
detailed, so bear with me. Okay. Once you enter, approach 
the first vine and slash it. The vines of a portal will 
pull up near it. Enter. Adjust the view as needed please, I 
will be talking from the "just keeping moving forward" POV. 
Go forward and along the path. When you come to a junction, 
turn right. Go to the end and grab the 400G. Double back, 
continuing straight along the path now. Slash the roots 
when you come to them and proceed on, meeting a new foe, 
the huge caterpillar. Continue forward, cutting the roots 
when you get to them and grabbing the I. Bomb. Turn left 
and round the bend, cutting the next set of roots when you 
reach them. Continue down this path, cutting the roots and 
turning left when you have the chance. Oops, ha, ha! I led 
you into a dead-end. Evil little me, bwhahaha! Seriously. 
Now double back and turn to the left when you reach the T-
Junction, proceeding down the path. On your right as you 
run you will see another rooted off room. Cut in and enter 
it, grabbing the 1200G. Double back to the entrance, 
turning right and following the path all the way out. 


------------------------
Lumir Forest: Part Three
------------------------


-As you exit, look around. You are almost there! Woo! Once 
again battle all the enemies first and then I will instruct 
you. Once they are dead, proceed forward and to the left, 
grabbing yet another 400G you will see. Continue, always to 
the left, and round the path. Something will happen though. 
As you go around the windy bends, the screen and the 
surrounds will blur in a yellow haze. Keep following the 
path, into a secret place.



-----------------------
The Garden of Happiness
-----------------------

-Flowers? In the snow? How odd. Proceed forward slowly. 

Ryudo: Looks like we got ourselves pretty lost. 

Elena: The fog is so thick. 

Roan: Is this really the right road? 

Ryudo: Does it really matter? 

Roan: Wait a second!!

Mareg: Odd, there is no smell of life in this place. 

-Suddenly the fog clears, to the surprise of everyone. 
Elena walks forward and looks around.

Elena: Why do flowers bloom in such a barren place? 

-Suddenly something comes around Elena and flies in circles 
around her.

Voice: Who are you? This is my garden. 

Elena: I am sorry. We are travelers, lost on the road. 

Child<<who is suddenly there>>: This is the garden of 
Happiness. My precious secret place. Everyone who comes 
here forgets their bad memories and gets happy. If you come 
here, it means that your heart wants to be saved. Look, 
aren't all the flowers so pretty? 

Elena: Um, butyour eyes. Are they perhaps. 

Child: Yes, my eyes were bad ever since I was born. But I'm 
fine now. Thanks to Granas, I can see everything no. So I 
am lonely any longer. 

Ryudo: Those flowers are nice enough. I guess. If you are 
into that stuff. It isn't my style. 

Child: That is because you are not trying to see. You are 
trying to be someone you are not. Warm your heart, like 
these others. <<The floating things go to the child>> Miss. 
I thought you would understand how good this place is. 

Elena: What do you mean? 

Child: Don't you understand? The you should ask the girl 
with the black wings. 

Elena: Black wings? 

Child: Anyway, keep this place a secret, promise? <<The 
Child runs up the hill tree>>. Miss, don't eat me! 
<<vanishes behind tree>>. 

Ryudo: What is with her? 

Elena: I do not know. 

Ryudo: Oh well, let us go on. 

-At this point you regain control in this eerie setting. 
Double back and leave. 

-After you have left, you will chat on the icy trail. 

Elena: Huh, now where are we? 

Ryudo: Hey, where did the girl and her garden go? 

Roan: Could it have been a dream? 

-Now you fully regain control. Go around the path and left. 
When you reach the fence, turn right and leave this area 
for east Silesia. Head to Mirumu Village.


-----------------------------------------------------------
Mirumu Village, A Bewitched City Where A Zealot Comes 
Knocking
-----------------------------------------------------------


-As you enter, you will get a nice pan of the village. It 
is very run down, as everything is made of stone and is 
falling apart it seems. You approach a group of people ( 
Two ) standing around. 

Elena: There is a certain sadness about this village. I 
wonder what the source. 

Villager: Oh! The sister has arrived! I am so glad, oh, the 
village is saved! Come, Chief! The sister has 
arrived!<<runs off>>

Elena: Are they speaking of me? 

Ryudo: Huh? What is going on here?<<at this the villager 
and the chief re-appear>>

Chief: So you have finally come. Our village, please, save 
us. 

Ryudo: You have lost me, chief. I don't think anyone of us 
put in weekend reservations here. 

Chief: Huh? So you haven't come to save the village? 

Elena: Our journey is to Granas Cathedral, We are merely 
passing through, thoughbut

Villager: So you haven't come to save the village. I 
thought for sure they'd be here by now. What does this mean 
for us? 

Ryudo: Good question. What is going on here? 

Chief: These things should not be spoken of in this place. 
Please come to my house.<<runs off>>. 

-You are now in his house. 

Chief: You see, strangers. Strange things have been 
happening here in this village. Villagers have been 
suddenly falling asleep. At first we thought it was just 
fatigue. But they just kept sleeping. Days and days at a 
time they slept. 

Mareg: And you do not believe that they are merely unwell? 

Chief: I wish it were so, but

Ryudo: They are not? 

Chief: To be blunt, I believe it is some kind of curse. 

Elena: A curse? What leads you to believe this? 

Chief: Dreams. Ever since falling asleep, all of the 
villagers kept having the same dream. A presence watching, 
waiting, it's eyes. Great and terrible. Terrifying. 

Ryudo: Curse, right. 

Chief: We have no solid proof. Yet, we could not bear the 
dread of it. We sent to the Cathedral for aid. 

Roan: So that is why you thought sister Elena was here to 
save you. 

Chief: Yes, that is exactly so. 

Ryudo: Well, it is a shame. But like we said, we are just 
passing through. 

Chief: But. May I ask one thing? 

Ryudo: What is it. 

Chief: Um. Will you please stay for just one day. The 
priestess from the Cathedral should be here soon. I do not 
expect you to take her place, but if your Sister stays 
here, the curse may be somewhat allayed.

Villager: Another one fell asleep today. We are all uneasy. 

Elena: Ryudo. 

Ryudo: Well, it is dark out. 

Elena: We shall do as you ask. It is not much but we would 
be happy to stay in the village.

-At this point you regain control. Go back to the inn. 
There you will meet someone. The innkeeper. 

Irina: Is that you, sister? My son Nicolas is not well and 
does not wake up. Please do what you can to save him! 

Elena: Um, unfortunately, we are simple travelers. We are 
not the ones you are expecting. 

Irina: Oh, I am so sorry. I've made a terrible mistake. 

Elena: If you have contacted the Cathedral, I am certain 
that someone will arrive soon. Please, wait yet a little 
longer. 

Irina: Yes, I suppose you are right. 

Elena: But, you say that your son has fallen ill? 

Irina: Sister. Perhaps if you look at him, you might be 
able to learn something. Would you mind coming this way, 
please? 

-You travel upstairs to look at the poor boy, who is 
terribly ill in bed.

Irina: This is Nicolas. He seems to be sleeping peacefully, 
but he never wakes up. 

Nicolas: It is somuch funhere. 

Ryudo: He doesn't sound sick, he sounds easily entertained. 

Roan: Is this not like Gadan. 

Ryudo: You are saying that Valmar devoured his soul? 

Mareg: Yet, there is no foul smell about this place. 

Elena: Unfortunately I cannot help you at all. 

Irina: That innocent face, maybe he's playing with the 
fairies in the Garden of Dreams. 

Elena: Garden of dreams? I have been to such a place just 
outside of town. 

Irina: You can't be serious. It is a tale told to children, 
full of song and fancy, meaning nothing. It is fantasy. 

Ryudo: No, it was defiantly real. Flowers everywhere and 
fairies flitting about. I couldn't dream this place up, 
believe me. 

Elena: There was a little girl, a strange girl. Who cold 
see everything. She had a scar above her right eye. 

That's Aira. Sandra's daughter. Oh how eerie. So this curse 
was the work of Sandra after all! 

Elena: Please. Do not be so quick to jump to conclusions. 
Is Sandra from this village? 

Irina: She live in back of the village. How could that 
hateful wretch do this to my poor, sweet Nicolas. <<she 
goes downstairs>> 

Elena: Ryudo. If that girl were indeed Aira. I would like 
to speak with her again. 

Ryudo: Huh? 

Elena: I kept thinking about what she said. 

Ryudo: Don't eat me? Well you have been putting on a few 
pounds. You have to see it from her point of view. 

Roan: Oh, stop. She was an odd girl. And I wonder, was the 
garden real. 

Mareg: As real as the dreams of a wise man. Neither fantasy 
nor substance. A mist rising in the morning, melting into 
the air by noon. 

Ryudo: If we find Aira, we can ask her. 

Elena: Yes. 

-At this you finally regain control. Exit the inn by 
leaving through the main front door. Once in the main town, 
proceed up, towards the back, and cross the shell-spike 
looking bridge you will find at the back. As you do, you 
will see someone quite familiar. 



--------------------------------------------------------
Conversation with Aira and then Into the House of Sandra
--------------------------------------------------------


Ryudo: Hey, that girl is Aira! <<You see Aira running 
around behind the house of Sandra>>. 

Elena: so it was not our imagination. She IS real. <<The 
group runs to speak with her>>. Aira, dear?

Aira: Hi again miss. 

Elena: Aira, when you said don't eat me before. What did 
you mean? 

Aira? Huh? I meant just what I said. I know you are okay, 
miss, but. 

Ryudo: Excuse the interruption here, but this has been 
bugging me. What was that garden? 

Aira: It's a safe place for people when they are sad. It's 
not like every place else- all hurting. I just want 
everyone to be happy. 

Sandra: Aura, where have you gone? Aira?Aira! I told you 
not to go outside! You! Get away from her. What are you 
trying to do to her? 

Aira: Mother, she is okay. She is not bothering me. 

Roan: Now, now. We are just travelers and we were talking 
to little Aira. We would never do anything to her. 

Mareg: I am terribly sorry if my appearance has startled 
you.

Sandra: No, there is no need. I has assumed the worst, but 
that one. 

Elena: Me? What have I done? 

Sandra: I am sorry. Please come inside. I cannot talk out 
here. 

-Enter the house of Sandra, the mother and caregiver to 
Aira. You will all sit around her table and talk. 

Ryudo: So what is with the secrecy? There a reason you want 
to avoid notice? 
 
Sandra: There are those who do not wish Aira well. The 
innkeeper's son, Nicolas, fell ill, you see, while Aira was 
with him. They were just playing and thenThere is a 
children's fairy tale. In the tale there was a garden. 

Aira: That's right. I promised to take Nicolas to the 
garden! 

Sandra: Don't say such things. 

Aira: Butsaylet me see that medal. 

Roan: Um, but this is 

Aira: Your mother gave it to you, right? <<Roan nods and 
hands her the medal>> 

Sandra: I am so sorry. Anyway, the villagers here look at 
me strangely. And to think, my prayers to Granas had 
finally been answered, and Aira's blindness cured. 

Elena: Her sight was restored through prayer? This is a 
miracle. 

Ryudo: For once, Elena is right. It's a damn miracle that 
your prayers actually worked. No wonder the villagers think 
you are a witch. 

Elena: Ryudo!! 

Sandra: Aira is my treasure. Her eyesight was poor since 
she was born. And I have had such a hard time. I looked for 
medicinal herbs and prayed for her sight, but the others 
called my mixtures "witch's brews" and my prayers 
"summoning." And just when Aira is finally healed by 
prayer, and I am blessed with a little happiness, they 
blame me for this curse. 

Elena: I am sorry. 

Ryudo: I don't have any ideas Elena. There is nothing we 
can do. By now, the church has probably sent some people to 
look into it anyway. Let them deal with it, we are not the 
experts here. Come on, there is still a lot of ground to 
cover before we reach the cathedral. 

Elena: You are right. 

Ryudo: Come on, let's head back to the inn. Roan? 

Aira: Thank you. Your mother was very pretty. <<She hands 
the medal back to Roan and everyone stands up to 
leave>>!!!

Sandra: What is wrong Aira? 
 
Aira: Scary people have come mother. Really scary people. 


---------------------------------------
End Conversation with Aira and Sandra
---------------------------------------


-At this you regain control. One wonders who, or what, has 
arrived. Leave Sandra's house through the main door and let 
us have a look, shall we? Once outside, cross the shelly 
bridge and walk towards the town square, where you 
initially spoke with the chief. People will be telling you 
to hurry up and shouting confused orders. Asking what has 
happened, it seems the priestess and her party have finally 
arrived from the cathedral. 


------------------------------------
The Arrival of the Knights of Granas
------------------------------------


-Elena: It can't be, the cathedral knights!
Selene: Well, how terrible for you. Never fear, we are 
here, we shall dispel the darkness!
Chief: Your words are reassuring.
Selene: Village is full of darkness, darkness with terrible 
powers!
Chief: Why has this happened!?
Selene: I have purified much darkness, it is the doing of 
Valmar!
Chief: Oh no!
Selene: Until notice, this village is under our control. No 
one may enter or exit. Anyone in violation is a minion of 
Valmar and will be purified in the name of Granas. Come my 
knights. Take up your blades and cut the darkness down, 
god's light shall shine. I am Selene, leader of the 
cathedral knights!
Ryudo: Hey Elena, you know that zealot? 
Elena: Yes, she is Selene. Leader of the knights. Selene is 
an excellent inquisitor of heresy. I am worried
Ryudo: What are those guys going to do!

-At this you regain control. Quickly run and talk to them.

Selene: Well, are you not a sister of Granas. I was not 
told of a sister in this town.
Elena: I am Elena, a songstress. I am on way to Granas 
cathedral. To report to his holiness Zera!
Selene: To report to Zera, you must be an accomplished 
student. Zera will be pleased and your mission must be 
important. Let us work to the best of our abilities!
Elena: Yes, thank you. 


Selene: Is this so? Indeed, you must desire to make haste 
if your intent is to report to his holiness Zera. 

Elena: No, in fact. The ceremony failed. 
 
Ryudo: Watch your words Elena. 

Selene: Well. Who might you be? 

Ryudo: I am her protection. 

Selene: I see. For your trouble, I thank you. 

Ryudo: You can thank me by letting us through this village. 
Oh, and these two as well. They are with us. 

Selene: This isn't possible. 

Ryudo: Hey, cut me some slack here! We are no threat to you 
or your cause. 

Selene: I cannot. Did you not hear what I just said? This 
village is now sealed. Leave, and be purified. 

-At this she tells her nights to surround the village and 
guard it. 

Selene: Until this matter surround this village is 
resolved, no one may leave. Not Elena, not you, not anyone. 

Ryudo: Look, we need to report to your boss . Get word to 
him about us and I'm sure he'll permit us to make haste to 
the cathedral. 
 
Selene: Regardless of your schedule, it is my duty to 
ensure that the darkness in this village is exterminated 
without exception. 

Ryudo: By the blood! Even if your aim is to expunge the 
darkness, what will do you when you find it!? No one can 
stand against a god!

Selene: Worry not. We are the cathedral knights, blessed by 
Granas. Discovering the allies of Valmar is a simple task. 
As is purifying the unclean. 

Ryudo: What is it with out and this "purify" thing? For 
some reason, I doubt your knights are packing soap and 
bubble bath in that armor. 

Roan: She means to kill them. I remember one village 
somewhere that was burned to the ground by the knights. 

Ryudo: That's some strong bubble bath. 

Selene: No that is not correct. Lord Granas does not 
approve of mindless slaughter. The holy fire of Lord Granas 
merely purifies those who have sold their soul to Valmar. 
We have purged darkness from this world, leaving none of 
its taint unpurified. Thanks be to Granas. 
 
Ryudo: There's that word again. I fail to see the 
difference between your method and murder. 

Elena: If you, um, were to find a person possessed by 
Valmar. What would you do to her, or him? 

Selene: Should that be the case, this entire village shall 
be purified by the holy fire of lord Granas. Such a 
sacrifice is necessary in order to rid the world of 
Valmar's presence. 

Chief: What? You can't do that! 

Selene: Do not be afraid, for the holy fire cleanses only 
the sinner. Those who are pure of heart need not worry. Of 
course, this is assuming there are person's without a sin 
before Granas. 

Chief: Ah!

Selene: Well, then. Please tell me the details. Only then 
shall we seek out the apostles of Valmar. 

Chief: Alright then. <<very scared tone>> 

-At this everyone sans two knights guarding the gates 
leave. Your group will talk it over for another minute. 
When you are done, go into the inn. 


-----------------------------------------------------------
End the Arrival and Conversation with Selene and Her 
Knights
-----------------------------------------------------------


-After entering the inn, talk to Irina, the innkeeper. She 
is still irate about Sandra, but Ryudo tries ( failing ) to 
convince her she has no proof. Agree to spend the night. 



----------------------------------------
Dinner Conversation in the Inn of Mirumu.
----------------------------------------


-Ryudo: They sure do get excited easily here. They have a 
few bad harvests and they stop thinking, eh?  I guess they 
feel they need to blame someone. 

Elena: Irina, Sandra, little Aira. These people are simply 
struggling. That doesn't make them evil or anything. 

Roan: If you are suffering, you can be blinded to the needs 
of others. 

Mareg: There is no malicious scent, but something does 
SMELL awry. 
 
Ryudo: Just who do they think is bad anyway? I'd say these 
knights who run around and scare people are the real 
problem. 

Roan: These knights are merciless. At this rate the entire 
village will be burned to the ground.

Mareg: The smell. Something very strange is going on in 
this village. 

Elena: I never imagined the knights to be this bad. 

Ryudo: I don't think Valmar can be defeated by anyone. Not 
even those "holy" knights out there. 

Elena: Valmar possesses even me. 

Roan: Those knights might have killed all the villagers! 
And what would have happened to miss Elena!? 

Mareg: There is no one with an evil smell, but. 

Ryudo: Well, we do have Elena with us. I cant imagine those 
overly holy knights will kill one of their own. 

Elena: If those villagers are suffering. It is because of 
Valmar. Without a doubt. 

Roan: We do not know that for certain! Even now they are 
tying to kill innocent people. 

Ryudo: I think the best course of action is to get out of 
here before that Selene woman causes more trouble. First 
thing tomorrow, we go. 


------------------------------
End Dinner Conversation
------------------------------


-Dinner is over and the group has a new resolve to protest 
and fight against the horrid knights. But something is 
terribly wrong. In the heart of Elena.

Ryudo: Elena, what's wrong? 

Elena: It's Valmar's moon. It is so eerie. I wonder if it 
always stares down on us like that. 

Ryudo: No use getting worked up about something you cant do 
anything about. Besides, we are pretty damn far enough away 
from it. 

Elena: I suppose. Btu what of the presence of Valmar, 
inside of me? 

Ryudo: Oh, Millenia. 

Elena: Yeah

Ryudo: Come on, lighten up. Millenia is not all that bad. 

Elena: Ryudo! How can you say that. How can you be so 
cavalier about such things. We speak of the power of 
darkness itself! Who known when Millenia will do something 
like Gadan did, or worse. What if her purpose is to restore 
Valmar to life! 

Ryudo: Again, we can't do anything about it. Right now, at 
least. But isn't this why we're going to the Cathedral? 

Elena: Valmar prepares a dwelling place within the souls of 
the wicked. I am sure that Millenia is the evil inside of 
me. She is the blackness in my soul. 

Ryudo: Hey, don't let it get you down. What happened to 
your happy face! Come on, knock it off. We'll get to Zera 
and he will get off his porcelain throne. He'll make 
everything okay. 

Elena: Stop it! This is serious! Must you always be so 
flippant!

Ryudo: I was just trying to cheer you up. Blazes fine, 
fine. I get it! As expected of the wings of Valmar, it is 
difficult to visit injury upon Millenia. You on the other 
hand. 

Elena: Ryudo?? 

Ryudo: Look, you are not giving me a choice here. You can 
keep crying about Valmar this and Valmar that or we can 
settle this now. You calmed down yet? What happened to the 
almost stereotypical determination and pluck that I know so 
well? What's wrong Elena? 

Elena: All right Ryudo. Kill me! IF that will destroy 
Valmar. 

Ryudo: What!!? 

Elena: What is wrong? Do it quickly. I am a little scared, 
so please, make it as painless as you are able. 

Ryudo: Don't be stupid! That is Selene talking, not YOU!! 

Elena: ? 

Ryudo: My job is to get you to the cathedral. If you want 
any extras, hire someone else. Just stop your brooding and 
get to bed. 

Elena:  <<She leaves for bed>> 

Ryudo: Damnit! Not the right approach Ryudo. Not the right 
approach. What the hell is wrong with her! Bah. Guess I 
ought to get to bed myself. <<leaves for bed>> 

-At this Ryudo leaves for bed, but what really just 
happened? I believe that Ryudo and Elena almost had a 
romantic moment but it was ruined by Ryudo's hardened 
beliefs and the fact Elena is so pious. Maybe. However, 
something quite creepy is about to happen, so buckle 
upandherewe goare you ready to learn why 
Ryudo is the way he is?



-------------------
The Eyeball Mystery
-------------------


Voice: Oooooooh. Oooooooooh.

-You see Ryudo, floating in the air. However, something is 
amiss.

Ryudo: Where am I? 

-Suddenly, out of nowhere, many eyeballs appear and 
surround Ryudo. He demands to know what they are looking 
at, but they do not answer, only drawing closer. Wherever 
he runs, they follow. The eyes are everywhere. Why won't 
they go away!! Suddenly they are gone. AND A HUGE EYEBALL 
IS STARING AT YOU. OH MY GOD. 
 
Ryudo: Don't. This is MY soul damnit. Stay the hell out of 
it!! 

-Suddenly you get a peek. A giant flashback. Ryudo 
remembers his terrible past. He cried for the eye to stop. 
It doesn't. He dreams on, screaming and talking in his 
sleep. He suddenly wakes up. 

Skye: Ryudo! What's wrong? You were moaning!

Ryudo: Damn! Why do they keep haunting me? I was almost 
able to forget. 

Skye: Doesn't sound like a very sweet dream. 

Ryudo: I know! That was the dream they saw. 

-At this you get control. As you attempt to leave the 
bedroom, Ryudo has a thought.

Ryudo: That is odd. I can't shake the feeling that I'm 
still being watched. 

-Go to the window. As you look outside, something terrible 
appears. A giant eyeball bursts the window open. 

Ryudo: It wasthat THING! <<At this the eye leaves>> The 
cause of the nightmares? If so, the village's curse. 
Damnit! 

-At this Roan and Mareg enter the room. 

Ryudo: Roan! Mareg! Are you alright? 

Roan: Yes, Ryudo. Are you okay? 

Mareg: Bah! That cured dream! What was its purpose? 

Ryudo: Ask that thing. It's been causing these damn 
nightmares! 

Roan: What do you mean by "that thing?" 

Elena<<running in>>: Ryudo! What is happening? 

Ryudo: Elena! You alright? Listen, the source of the 
nightmares was right there!

Skye: Eyeball. Big flapping eyeball. Just staring at us. 
I've never seen the like. 

Ryudo: If that was the cause, then the others. 

Elena: It cannot be. Miss Irina? 

Ryudo: Oh blazes! Let's check on her! Hurry! 

-At this you regain control. Quickly leave the room first, 
and when you get out, run to the second floor of the inn. 
Inside you will see an eyeball haunting the innkeeper and 
her son. As you enter, it quickly flies out the window. 
Skye follows it and you go after another way. Quickly 
descend the stairs and leave the inn. As you enter the main 
yard of the town, you will see many eyeballs flying 
everywhere. They are mainly flying over the house of 
Sandra. After a minute, they fly into a cave behind her 
house. The party goes after! Run to the back of town, 
crossing the snail bridge, and using the save cone if you 
so desire. As you approach the cave, the group slows up.

Ryudo: Skye, where did they go!!?
 
Skye: Into that fissure! 

Ryudo: And we all know what comes next. Let's be quick 
about it. I want to find out what the hell is going on 
here. 

-At this you regain control. Enter the cave. 


-----------------------------------------------------------
The Mysterious Fissure of Mirumu: The source of those eyes?
-----------------------------------------------------------
In the Fissure:
---------------
Weapons: 
Armor: Winged Boots, 
Accessories: Raincoat, 
Items: Bone Harp, Purifying Herb, 1500G, 500G, Book of 
Warriors, 
Enemies: 
-----------------------------------------------------------


-------------------------------
Mysterious Fissure, Underground
-------------------------------


-As you enter, you will notice this cave is well made and 
very sturdy. Seems, in the opinion of the author, to have 
been there a great deal of time. Take note and proceed 
forward. Continue on past a wide open space and when you 
can, turn right. Continue on and turn left almost 
immediately, descending a slope and battling a new enemy, 
the twin ogre. Beat them and continue just a bit, turning 
right in a U-turn fashion once you get through the 
bottleneck. Get the Wing Boots out of the mouth of the 
fossil chest. Double around. Continue forward and turn to 
the right, into a cul-de-sac. Grab the bone harp and turn 
around. Double back the way you initially came, going back 
through the bottle neck and turning right at the curve. 
When you get to the first turn you encountered in this 
dungeon, turn to your right and proceed forward. Fight any 
enemies that get in your way, turn to the right and grab 
the raincoat. Turn towards your left and head that way, 
following the path for a bit, grabbing the 500G. Now turn 
around and head all the way back through the bottleneck I 
keep mentioning. Once through it, turn left and follow the 
path along this wide open area with many enemies. Once you 
reach the cliff, grab the purifying herb and turn right, 
following along the cliffs. Be sure to get the 1500 G under 
the bones as you go along. Keeping going along the path, 
through and long and narrow bottle-twisty-neck. Once you 
emerge at the other side, go UP the shell rock. Round and 
round you go, to the top, and down to the other side.

-Once you reach the bottom of the other side, turn right. 
You will enter an area ofpillars? This is very 
creepy, is it not. Likean ANICIENT RUIN!!! Oh good 
lord! Proceed forward and you will see a save cone. Use it 
well. Turn left and enter the depths.


--------------------------
Mysterious Fissure, Depths
--------------------------


-You will enter an eerie place. Water floats solemnly 
around you. Proceed along the rocks until you reach the 
platform. You will see a broken seal of Granas around a 
Valmar orb. 

Ryudo: Isn't this a seal of Granas! 

Elena: As I had suspected, it has been broken<<sees 
something>> I have seen these flowers before <<she finds 
flowers in the base of the shrine>>. <<At this eyes quickly 
descend on the group>>.

Ryudo: It's those things again! They're coming! 


======================================
--------------------------------------
Mid-Boss of Fissure: Four Eyeball Bats
--------------------------------------
======================================
HP: 3000/3000
Regular Attacks: Pound attacks for a hundred or so per. 
Magic Attacks: 
Special Attacks: A Tri-Attack on one character for mucho 
damage. 
--------------------------------------


How to beat the eyeball bats: Start the correct way by 
pounding on ONE eyeball bat. The bats have a special attack 
in which if three combine, they do damage. Therefore 
cutting off a couple early negates this possibility. Have 
Ryudo use his Flying Tensekenu at first to chop the eyeball 
bats to shreds to the tune of 1720 damage. Then have Mareg 
do his beast-king smash to add to this. Have Roan pound 
away with magic, and have Elena be ready to heal or use 
magic. For magic: Crackle, Howlslash, and ZAP work the 
best. Keep pounding, healing when needed, and when they 
finally die, be happy. You get much of everything, 
including a new skill book. 

===================
-------------------
End Mid-Boss Battle
-------------------
===================


-Once you have defeated the flying demons, the group talks.

Elena: So, now the villages may be

Ryudo: No, these things are small change. Nothing like 
Gadan. The real money is somewhere else. 

Roan: So they were like marionettes?

Mareg: Perhaps. Their powers may be peculiar, but our true 
enemy would not meet defeat so easily. 

Elena: It cannot be. 

Ryudo: Damnit! Valmar must be somewhere! If we're not 
killing the source, we're just killing time! 

-At this the group goes back to the inn. They plan their 
strategy. 

Mareg: Is this too the work of Valmar? 

Ryudo: As the seal of Granas is broken, I am afraid that is 
soElena, how is Irina doing? 

Elena: Not well, she will not wake, just like her son. 

Ryudo: Roan! How are the villagers? 

Roan: A few more fell ill last night. And everyone who did 
not fall ill, they had nightmares again. 

Ryudo: They're not the only ones. Lately I have been having 
nightmares of mythe past. It is not too cool. Man, not 
at all. 

Roan: I had some too. I saw my motherdie. 

Mareg: I dreamt of my village, of the demon man who came in 
blood and fire. I dreamt of ruin. 

Elena: I slept soundly. Last night, I dreamt not at all. 

Ryudo: There must be someone possessed by Valmar. Someone 
controlling the flying eyeballs. Do you think it is Aira? 

Elena: That cannot be! She is such an innocent girl, right? 
Only the hearts of the wicked are open to Valmar! That girl 
has done nothing wrong. 

Villager<<entering>>: The High Priestess Selene is 
conducting an investigation, so she has ordered everyone to 
meet in the town hall. 

Elena: We ought to inform the high priestess of the events 
of yesterday. The villain is not of this village. Not even 
a person! Let's go Ryudo. 
 
Ryudo: Yeah. Before Selene decides to frame someone. 

-At this you regain control, truly unsure of who is behind 
this eyeballish plot. Leave the inn first and foremost. 
Head next door to the town hall. As you enter, you will 
notice many sleeping people, yet no Selene. 

Ryudo: Didn't take them long to round up the town <<looking 
at the sleeping bodies>>

Elena: How awful. 

Selene<<entering>>: Such a pitiful sight. We must attend to 
the purification immediately. We will find the bedeviled 
one without delay. 

Ryudo: You're sniffing up the wrong leg, priestess! We saw 
the darkness last night. Flying eyeballs! They should be 
dealt with first. 

Selene: Flying eyeballs you say? How droll. Yet, the things 
you saw may indeed have been servants of Valmar. 

Elena: Yes! And we must search them out! 

Selene: However, they are merely servants. I doubt Valmar 
would appear in such a form or fashion, hmmm? Chasing after 
such, whimsical beasts would not solve our problem. Valmar 
seizes upon the darkness in the heart, not the eye. 
 
Ryudo<<really mad>>: Are you even listening to a thing we 
say? Or are you too eager to purify the entire down! What 
the hell is wrong with you! 

Elena: I beg of you, high priestess! Save the villagers! 

Selene: Oh yes, they shall be saved. You see, there is one 
with a corrupt soul who has brought disaster to this 
village. What would happen if we were to permit Valmar to 
roam freely about the land? Could you imagine that Elena? 

Elena: Yes. 

Selene: Well, then. I shall have the cooperation of 
everyone in the village. I shall discover the identity of 
the treacherous one. Then we need not purify the entire 
village. <<leaves>>

Elena: Ryudo! We cannot let her proceed. You know how this 
will end!!!
 
Ryudo: I know, I know. But we have to find out who or what 
is controlling those eyeballs. I mean, that's just sick .To 
make people relive their worst nightmares. 

Roan: But where do you think those eyeballs come from? 

Mareg: I advise a deeper hunt into the fissure. It could be 
our quarry waits there. 

Ryudo: Then there is where we will resume our pursuit. 

-At this you regain control. Leave the town hall.  Proceed 
up past the bridge and towards the fissure. Once you get 
near, you will meet someone again. 

Aira: Miss! 

Elena: Hello little Aira

Aira: Did you come to see me? Did you want to play? 

Elena: What do you mean? 

Aira: Let's go to a fun place. To a place where there's no 
suffering and no pain. No bad memories! 

Elena: Aira, should you be out? Will your mother worry? 

Aira: Oh, it's fine. We're going to a happy place after 
all! 

Roan: That Aira. There is something a little odd about her. 

Elena: I wonder what it was she meant? 

Ryudo: Only one way to find out. Let's follow her. 

-At this you get control again. Quickly follow Aira to her 
little shed and when you get to it, go in. You will see her 
standing in front of a mirror, and when you approach her, 
she speaks.

Aira: My mother had a hard time because of me. She would 
buy medicine and look for herbs, working from dawn until 
dusk. It is all my fault, but my mother's praying healed 
me. 

-At this she drops into the hole in her shed, vanishing 
from sight but most certainly not from mind. 

Elena: Aira!!! 

-The party jumps in the hole at this. You emergein 
the cave?? 

Ryudo: Where are we? 

Elena: I cannot believe this! 

-You are in the room where the orb of Granas used to be. 
So, the orb was under their house then. Now some things are 
starting to make sense. You notice Aira in the center of 
the room where the former intact orb remains. 

Aira: I don't think people should fight. Everyone just 
suffers. We can learn to like each other. Why do they 
always blame other people? Nobody wants to be hated. I'll 
make it so everyone can get along! I want to help everyone! 

Elena: So, so- Aira, you. 

Aira: It is really a nice place. I'm gonna have everyone 
come to the Garden of Dreams. No one will fight. Everyone 
will  live together peacefully. They'll forget all the bad 
things. Come on! Let's all go into the dream!

-At this something very odd happens. A dazzling light comes 
from Aira and she emits a great glow. Suddenly, and for no 
reason it seems, you are all in the Garden of Dreams.

Aira: When I was cured, I was so happy. But I was also sad 
cause I could see things I could not before. My mother also 
wanted to get along with the villagers. But everyone lies 
and hates each other. They keep blaming others for bad 
things. Everyone suffers in their heart. I want everyone to 
come here and get along. This is the Garden of Happiness. 
Everyone who comes here is happy. They forget the bad 
memories and suffering, the people all become fairies. And 
they live happily here. Look, see how many fairies there 
are now? Isn't everyone happy?

Elena: Stop it! 

Aira: Why?

Elena: You are not doing anything wrong, but, but

-Before she talks, Aira has something shine on her 
foreheadaneye??

Aira: I just want to make everyone happy. 

Elena: That Eye!!!!

Aira: This is the eye that Granas gave me. It's how I can 
see everything. 

Elena: No! Stop it! Do not make them suffer any more! 

Aira: Suffer? I don't make anyone suffer. Everyone here is 
happy. There's no sadness here. Outside, everyone lies, so 
they suffer. They pretend to be nice but they act mean. The 
only one I trust is mother. !!!Huh? Why're you doing 
this? Why're all of you coming after me! Is this not the 
eye of Granas? Well, isn't it? Aren't you all the same as 
me? Miss Elena? 

Elena: No! NO! Aira? Ah! Wait!

-At this Aira runs off and vanishes. 

Ryudo: Something might be going down at the village. We've 
got to get back there. 

-At this you regain control. Leave the garden. When you get 
to the forest, exit it and get back to the town as soon as 
possible. When you reach townyou see something terrible 
going on. Sandra is being assailed by the knights of 
Granas. 

Sandra: I don't know anything! My daughter was miraculously 
cured by the power of Granas! I prayed and prayed for her. 
Leave her out of this! 

Selene: The blessing of Granas are not to be bestowed on 
the likes of you. Where is your daughter? Speak truly, for 
the both of you are surely minions of Valmar! 

Sandra: No, no that cannot be. 

Selene: Well, well. What shall we do with a mother and a 
child who conspire with the powers of darkness? Will you 
people side with Darkness? Know that if you heed the words 
of the words of the witch, you must be prepared for the 
consequences. 

Villager: You devil! No! You evil witch! Just what are you 
trying to d? Release the curse on the village, quickly! 
What is the grudge you bear!? 

Sandra: What is it we have done!? My daughter and I have 
done nothing! 

Selene: Release me!

Sandra: Ah! 

Aira: Mother! Leave my mother alone! It isn't her fault 
everyone suffers! 
 
Selene: That evil eye! Is see we have discovered the power 
of Valmar! 

-At this you regain control. Quickly go into the item shop 
and buy anything you will need for the long road ahead ( 
herbs and such ).  When ready, leave the store. When you 
get to Sandra's house, you will see a form on the ground. 
It's Sandra. 

Ryudo: What the hell is happening here!? 

Selene: You can no longer escape. 

Elena: Aira!? 

Ryudo: You take care of her! <<Ryudo and Elena run off to 
see Selene>>. What the hell are you doing? How many of you 
does it take to handle a single girl!? Leave her be! 

Selene: Do not interfere with my task. Or are you too in 
collusion with darkness. 

Ryudo: This girl doesn't even know what's happening? Look 
at her! A servant of light should be extending a hand of 
redemption, not raising an iron fist. 

Selene: Don't be a fool, boy! We merely follow the will of 
Granas! To cleanse the world of DarknessElena! Come, 
bring the girl to me. 
 
Elena: Please, Selene. There must be some other way we can 
save her. There must be! 

Selene: Impossible! There is no salvation for one possessed 
by Valmar. I cannot believe a sister of the church would 
try to protect one who has rejected the light and embraced 
the darkness! 

Elena: I-I

Ryudo: Don't listen to her! Damnit, Elena! You are better 
then that! There's no wrong in protecting the helpless. And 
if Granas has a problem with that, you can tell heaven that 
your god will find no protection from me! 

Elena: Ryudo

Ryudo: And what about you people? Is this child a sinner? 
Both mother and child have lived among you! Do you truly 
wish to damn them both? 

Aira: Mother! 

Sandra: Ah! Aira!? But, that eye!!?<<gasps>> You are a

Aira: A monster. You called me a monster! Even my own 
mother!! 

Elena: Aira, please! Be calm! Your mother is just a little 
shocked. 

Aira: Am I? A monster? Nooooooooo! Let go of me! Leave me 
alone! All of you! Leave me alone! <<Aira Vanishes in a 
bright flash>> 

Selene: What has happened? You?! If you had not interfered, 
darkness would not still plague the land. This is on your 
heads! Separate and search the area. DO not let the demon-
child escape! <<She dispatches the knights>> Ryudo. I 
believe I shall not forget what you have done here 
today.<<walks off>>

Ryudo: Hey, Elena. Snap out of it. Hey!!

-Suddenly a bright flash envelops Elena. And out of the 
dusts, Millenia appears!

Millenia: Oh drat! Ouch, ouch, ouch! That eyeball really 
let me have it! 

Sandra: What, what have I done to Aira? 

Millenia: Huh? 

Sandra: It's my fault. Everything is my fault. 

Millenia: What's the matter? 

Sandra: I thought something was wrong when she said she 
took Nicolas to the Garden of Dreams. It was there she 
discovered the ability to know what others were thinking 
and feeling. But not only is she able to do this, she can 
also see what others are doing and where they are. Even I 
grew afraid. I pitied Aira. I wanted to do something for 
her! But how could I have known, Valmar was listening to my 
prayers. Oh, where did I go wrong? 

Roan: You have done no wrong. Any parent would have done 
the same! 

Mareg: There is no fault in caring for your own. It is 
Valmar who bears the onus of these events. 

Sandra: Please, kill her. 

Ryudo: Are you nuts?? 

Sandra: She is beyond hope already. So please, kill her. 
Before she causes anymore more grief. 

Ryudo: Don't be a fool! We were not protecting her before 
just so we could kill her now. Do what you will but I am 
not planning on giving up anytime soon. I'll find a way to 
save her. With you, or without you. 

Millenia: I know, how about we rip that eye right out of 
her? Sound good? 

Ryudo: MilleniaAre you sure you can remove the eye of 
Valmar from her? 

Millenia: Sure I can! Of course, Aira's soul will shatter, 
and fade, so it goes

Ryudo: Millenia! Damnit, there must be another way! 

Sandra: I am completely to blame for her suffering. If 
there is no way to save her, then please, put her out of 
her misery. 

Millenia: Yeah, yeah. That sounds lovely. You heard the 
lady- Let's just finish this up and move on. 

Ryudo: You. I don't want to hear it. Of course, what should 
I expect from Valmar! Obviously not a concern for human 
life. 

Millenia: What!? But this does not concern us, Ryudo! The 
one who should do something is the girl's mother, right? 
And she's given up! End of story!Look. I don't blame 
you, Ryudo. It's perfectly natural for people to want to 
run from reality, they just can't face life. But we don't 
have the time to run along after you. Stop chasing after 
your silly nonsense. There is no other way to do this. 

Ryudo: Shut the hell up! That little girl is suffering 
right now. Scared and alone! You ever suffered alone, 
Millenia!? All she ever wanted was to bring a little 
happiness into the world. Is THIS what she deserves?!! You 
are her mother, but you want me to "put her out of her 
misery?" Ma'am, we do that to our pets, not our children! 
She wanted everyone to be happy. What the hell is wrong 
with that!? 

Millenia: Look, it's started. She's suffering. 

Sandra: 

Ryudo: Damnit! We have wasted enough time here! We have got 
to find her before Selene does! Let us try that garden! 

-At this you regain control. Take the advice of Ryudo and 
leave the town by going out the main gates. Head back to 
the Lumir Forest. When you arrive there, run back along the 
path and enter the Garden of Dreams. As you enter, you will 
see no one seems to be there. 

Ryudo: If she's not here, then, where else do we look? 

Millenia: Uh-huh, she's here. Just wait a little. 
<<Millenia walks away from the party. After she does, a 
bright orange lights comes from her and immediately after, 
a black void forms near the tree>>. C'mon, she's in here, 
let's go Ryudo! 

-Leap into the void. You will emerge in the same room ( 
AGAIN ) where the orb was. As you approach the orb, you see 
an ethereal door-way into an unknown place.

Millenia: Look, here it is! 

Ryudo: here? What is this place? Where is Aira? 

Millenia: This is the entrance into her soul. 

Ryudo: When did this get to so metaphysical? 

Millenia: She's escaped within herself. Probably hugging 
her knees right now. Once we enter the world within her 
soul, we won't be able to get out until we settle this. Are 
you ready? 

-Since you have already purchased everything you have 
needed from the general store, you are ready. Enter the 
portal. You will shortly find yourself in the ruins of a 
building. The floor is 100% covered in mist. Welcome to 
Aira's Soul




-----------------------------------------------------------
The Soul of Aira: A Hiding Place of Valmar
-----------------------------------------------------------
In Aira's Soul:
---------------
Weapons:
Armor: Red Shoes, Illusion Clothes, 
Accessories: Mirage Earring, 
Items: 500G (x3), Yomi's Elixir, Silver Feather, 1500G, 
Bonds of Trust, 
Enemies: Star Lancer, Hell Hound, Huge Caterpillar, 
Hammerhead, Twin Ogre.  
-----------------------------------------------------------



---------------------------
Aira's Soul, First Section:
---------------------------


-Welcome to her lovely and possessed soul. First thing I 
recommend doing is saving your game at the save spot 
directly behind you. When you have finished, prepare for 
trouble and head out. Start by leaving the stone building 
you are in, adjusting the view you the shot is from behind 
you and go forward. Before you do anything, even fight an 
enemy, turn to your left and go a short bit, grabbing the 
Silver Feather you will find. You will immediately 
encounter a new foe after this, the Star Mirage. These guys 
are pushovers, so defeat them and turn right. Head around 
the long curve and past the pillars, grabbing the 500G when 
you see it. Battle some more lancers and continue on 
forward, killing as you go. Keep forward and then when you 
reach the end, turn right, grabbing the Yomi's Elixir. Once 
you grab the elixir, turn around immediately. Follow the 
path and make a right turn. You will see a stone bridge, 
cross it. When you come to a T-Junction on the bridge, turn 
right and go all the way, grabbing the Red Shoes at the 
end. Turn around and go back down the bridge, turning right 
to continue down the bridge as you were before. You will 
emerge on a new cloud with new star lancers. Beat them up 
and continue on. Grab the 500G you will see and round the 
curve, going straight and beating up a few lancers. You 
will see a giant bell. Ring it. At this a giant whale will 
come and your group will leap on it. The whale will carry 
you and carry you to a desert-canyon like place. 

-In this new land proceed forward. As you emerge into a 
wide area, you will see many familiar enemies that you 
battled in the cave. Take them on and take them out.  See 
that contraption? Have any idea what it is? Email me at 
Rotted_Zombie@hotmail.com with your guesses. Otherwise grab 
the 1500G next to it and continue on. Proceed down the path 
until you see some more enemies, beating them in. You will 
then continue until you see an orb, enter it. This will 
take you to the next area. 


---------------------------
Aira's Soul, Second Section:
---------------------------


-You will emerge in a much different area then you left. 
This one is very evil, filled with fire, lava, and 
brimstonenot to mention all the enemies and the evil 
Valmar. When you enter this area, proceed forward ( 
changing the view of course ). You will immediately see a 
new enemy once you descend the rocks, the Hellhound. Beat 
some of them up and stop. Turn to your right and proceed. 
Go around the lava lake and past the eyeball mountain, 
battling any enemies you find. You will see a pink mass 
with a giant eyeball on it acting as a bridge. Crush the 
eyeball and proceed over the pink bridge. When on the other 
side, turn right, going across another pink bridge and 
grabbing the Battle Manicure you will find. Re-cross the 
bridge, going forward and slightly to the right, hugging 
the edge. Before you cross the next bridge, make sure you 
have grabbed the giant chest and it's contents ( Illusion 
Clothes, Mirage Earring, Bonds of Trust ). Once you have 
that, cross the first bridge ( left most one ) and grab the 
500G. Re-Cross it and when ready, cross the second of the 
two ( right most one ). Once you cross, turn to the left. 
Proceed along, battling enemies, and when you come to it, 
cross the stone steps. When across, turn to the right. When 
you are across, turn right. Grab the Moebius Ring. Turn 
around and go straight, turning into the fenced off area 
when you come to it. In the fenced off area, turn to your 
left, go across the log, and grab the 1500G. Once you have 
that, turn around and go back across the log, turning left 
and leaving the fenced off area. Proceed to go along a 
second log and onto a fence you can walk on ( what is up 
loses distinction ). Climb up the fence to get higher and 
after you go across a little area after you are high up, 
climb down again. After climbing down, go forward, battling 
the enemies as you go. Once you beat them up, go forward 
and grab the 500G you will see. Go into a large fenced 
area. However, when you enter this area, you will become 
trapped and you will be forced to battle four hell hounds 
to escape. After deafeating them, proceed on. You will see 
a save point. SAVE. You are about to face the second-
hardest boss in the game, so make sure you are ready.


==============================
------------------------------
Pre-Boss Checklist of Readiness
------------------------------
==============================

-First thing you will want to do is look at your 
characters. You have a great excess of special coins and 
magi coins, so use them. Put the special coins into beefing 
up your character's special attacks. Put your magic coins 
into beefing up skills and eggs. Good ideas: Ryudo ( Flying 
Tensekenu ), Millenia ( Fallen Wing ), Mareg ( Beat King 
Smash and Beast King Blast ), Roan ( Snowball Fight ) for 
the special skills. For magic, try to work on getting 
crackle good along with ZAP!, Tremor, Quake, etc. Work 
heavy magic spells that will do damage to many people or a 
great damage to a single enemy. Also, on skills, just do it 
your way. Look at your books of skills and pick and choose 
as you see, upgrading and equipping.

-Next look at yourself. Are you ready? If you feel too 
weak, go back and battle some more enemies, they always 
regenerate if you leave a level and come back. Also look to 
beef up coins by doing this. When you are good and 
readycontinue


-------------------
Here we go
-------------------

-What will happen to our heroic group? Only time will tell, 
TBC!!!

Section VIII: Item List
-----------------------------------------------------------


This list will be updated as I go from town to town and as 
I pick up items on the field. It will only be complete when 
the game is finally defeated and the walkthrough is 
complete. This is in order of appearance.

b)	A standard bite attack for around 25 HP 
c)	8 EXP Given
d)	15 Special Coins Given Per
e)	5 Magic Coins Given Per
f)	0 Gold Given Per

Analysis: A very, very weak enemy who is only a threat in 
large numbers. Ryudo and the party should have no problems 
defeated such a pathetic foe. They do have a web, trap 
attack which has a cancel though.

2. Dodo ( a small bird ).
a)	230/230 HP
b)	A standard Dive attack for minimal damage
c)	6 EXP Given
d)	10 Special Coins Given Per
e)	8 Magic Coins Given Per
f)	7 Gold Given for Two

Analysis: These are weaklings compared to Ryudo. Their dive 
attacks will miss if your speed is high enough, so don't 
worry. Simply use combo attacks and they will drop like 
flies. 

3. Gargoyle
a)	380/380 HP
b)	A variety of attacks, including a howl ( wind slash 
), a standard charge ( 40 damage ),  etc. 
c)	18 EXP Given
d)	54 Special Coins Given Per
e)	21 Magic Coins Given Per
f)	12 Gold Given Around. 

Analysis: A strong enemy at this point, it has the first 
true magic of the game. Be wary when fighting it, but do 
not worry too much, as you can beat it senseless. Beware, 
they have a powerful howlslash which can do upwards of 100 
damage. 

4. Crag Snake
a)	280/280 HP
b)	A variety of attacks, including an acid spew, a bite, 
and various specials. 
c)	12 EXP Given
d)	24 Special Coins Given Per
e)	20 Magic Coins Given Per
f)	25+ Gold Given Per

Analysis: Not that difficult of an enemy, but beware of 
their specials, as they can cause a fair amount of damage. 
Just play cautiously and you will be fine, not very tough 
at all. 

5. Frost Frog
a)	400/400 HP
b)	Standard Lick Attacks ( Moderate Damage ) and a few 
specials. 
c)	11 EXP Given
d)	21 Special Coins Given Per
e)	17 Magic Coins Given Per
f)	35+ Gold Given Per

Analysis: Not that hard of an enemy, but the most difficult 
you have yet faced. Practice caution but do not worry on 
end. Simply slash it to bits. 

6. Troglodyte
a)	980/980 HP
b)	Standard Lick Attacks for Moderate Damage, A Sleep 
Spawn Attack ( Special, Sleep ), and a standard swipe 
attack for moderate damage
c)	36 EXP Given. 
d)	60 Special Coins Given Per
e)	15 Magic Coins Given Per
f)	80+ Gold Given Per. 

Analysis: Hard, Hard, Hard. Be cautious, heal wisely, and 
just attack. Watch for their sleep attack. Basically be 
very careful, as if they gang up on one member, it might be 
curtains for that member rather quickly ( at least in this 
stage of the game when you first see them ( Durham Cave Two 
)).

7. Giant Mantis
a)	420/420
b)	Standard Claw attacks for around 60 or so.
c)	20 EXP Given.
d)	11 Special Coins Given Per
e)	72/4 Special Coins Given Per. 
f)	46/4 Gold Given Per. 

Analysis: They are really pushovers, with no true hard 
hitting attacks as I have seen. Just bash them and get rid 
of them quickly. 

8. Sandman
a)	340/340 HP.
b)	Regular attacks and a sand spray special used ( 60 
Damage -1 Move ). 
c)	78 EXP Given
d)	96/7 Special Coins Given Per
e)	90/7 Magic Coins Given Per
f)	150/7 Gold Given. 

Analysis: These guys are very tricky. They will spray sand 
at you, run around, and slow you down. Use attacks and chip 
away, healing when needed. Stay healthy and you will do 
fine, as they have a low life but come in huge groups. 

9. Ghoul
a)	670/670 HP
b)	Many, many harmful attacks. Gravity attack which 
draws the party into the member it is cast at, A 
power drain attack which sucks your HP and gives it 
to them, and regular harmful attacks, and an ice 
prickle attack which does 100 or so damage on a 
radius. 
c)	45/3 EXP Given.
d)	57/3 Special Coins Given Per.
e)	30 Magic Coins Given Per.
f)	34/3 Gold Given Per. 

Analysis: Hard, Hard, Hard. These guys are hard as nails. 
They have all sorts of magic and tough, hard hitting, 
attacks. Try your best, always remember to heal, and be 
wary, as this is the most difficult normal enemy to date.

10. Big Foot
a)	750/750 HP
b)	Some attacks. General smash attacks as seen ( 75 or 
so ). 
c)	29 EXP Given Per
d)	47 Special Coins Given Per.
e)	35 Magic Coins Given Per
f)	46 Gold Given Per.

Analysis: Not that hard at all. High on health, but not 
high on attacks, so simply pound away and heal if needed 
until dead. 

11. Giant Crab
a)	560/560 HP
b)	First off you have a repeated punch attack ( 10 hits 
) for about 80 to 150 damage depending on armor and 
the character. They also have a sleep dance attack, 
where they bounce on your head and put you to sleep. 
Otherwise, they are nothing but annoying.
c)	108/3 EXP Given. 
d)	111/3 Special Coins Given Per
e)	111/3 Magic Coins Given Per
f)	Nine Gold Given Per

Analysis: Annoying, Annoying, Annoying. These guys will 
just keep attacking! They are not very strong, but come in 
large enough packs to cause some serious damage. Just be 
vary of your health and bash them in. 

12. Huge Caterpillar 
a)	630/630 HP
b)	They have a self-inflating attack, where they walk 
over to you and blow up their little pouches, 
emptying them in a gas around you. 
c)	100/3 EXP Given
d)	90/3 Special Coins Given
e)	90/3 Magic Coins Given
f)	10 Gold Given Per

Analysis: Not too hard, and very slow. Simply pile on the 
attacks and they will bite the dust.

13. Twin Ogre
a)	680/680 HP
b)	They have a "throw buddy" attack which lowers your 
move and does around 140-160 damage. Otherwise just 
pound attacks.
c)	27 EXP Given
d)	52 Special Coins Given Per
e)	29 Magic Coins Given Per
f)	76 Gold Given

Analysis: A mere pushover compared to #13. Simply pound 
until they crumble to dust. 

13. Hammerhead
a)	830/830 HP
b)	A "giga spread" attack which does around 150 on each 
and paralyses. Otherwise just normal attacks.
c)	33 Exp Given Per
d)	48 Special Coins Given Per.
e)	38 Magic Coins Given Per.
f)	96 Gold Given.

Analysis: Hard, hard, hard. Their Giga Spread attack is 
deadly, as it knocks your people out of the right for a 
bit. Hit hard and with magic, healing if needed, to defeat 
these foes. 

14. Star Mirage
a)	720/720 HP
b)	Regular Attacks ( 50 ), a Power Press ( 125 ), and 
that is about it.
c)	96/6 Exp Given Per.
d)	234/6 Special Coins Given Per.
e)	114/6 Magic Coins Given Per.
f)	438/6 Gold Given Per.

Analysis: Push over. You will be able to pound them easily 
if you have built up at all. 

15. Hell Hound
a)	580/580 HP
b)	A Burn flame attack for a good amount of damage,  a 
WOW! Attack to boost their attack, and regular 
attacks. 
c)	76/4 Exp Given Per.
d)	22 Special Coins Given Per.
e)	212/4 Magic Coins Given Per.
f)	108/4 Gold Given Per.

Analysis: Difficult yet not. Can be tricky due to the 
enormous amount of magic these demons possess, but if you 
heal well and keep on your toes, you will be fine.

16. TBD.

Section X: About the story
-----------------------------------------------------------



-This section, in my opinion, is essential to the guide. As 
you go through this game, were you ever thrown off by the 
story? If the answer is yes, and it possibly is, as at 
points this game can be confusing, this section will come 
in handy for you. I will tell you everything STOTY wise 
that has happened in the game so far, so if you did miss 
anything, one can catch up here without fear or spoilers or 
whatnot. Here we are:

-Before Carbo Town: Ryudo, a Geohound or mercenary for 
hire, finds a letter waiting on his tree of opportunity ( 
basically a place where he goes to see if people need him 
for a job or something ). He sees that a Church in the 
remote Carbo Town needs his services as a bodyguard. Ryudo 
pushes his way through the surrounding forest and makes it 
to Carbo Town, where he learns how deep he is in.

-Carbo Town Before Exorcism: Ryudo enters Carbo town unsure 
of what is expected of him. There, he initially meets a 
group of sisters who are on their way to isolated Garmia 
Tower to do an activity, which however, Ryudo is not sure 
of. He goes to the church to check in, where he is met by a 
beautiful singing voice ( Elena ) and after a short 
conversation with the Songstress, Ryudo meets Father 
Carius. Carius, Ryudo, and Elena discuss the plan and agree 
to meet at the local inn post haste. When they all arrive 
there, Elena is entrusted to Ryudo's care as a bodyguard to 
see her safely past the Black Forest and to the ceremony at 
Garmia Tower. Ryudo accepts his pay and they ( Ryudo and 
Elena ) continue on.

-Before and Just After Garmia Tower: Ryudo and Elena 
successfully venture through the black forest together and 
reach the tower. Upon their arrival, the sisters, who are 
already there, practically interrogate Ryudo on his care of 
their songstress. Finding no wrong and instructing Ryudo to 
remain outside, all the sisters enter. Flash forward to a 
campfire near the tower. Around it, Ryudo and Skye sit and 
discuss Ryudo's character and how he is usually very hard 
nosed, but in this case seems softer to Elena. Their 
discussion was interrupted by screams from the tower, and 
Ryudo rushes into the tower quickly to help the source of 
the scream. Ryudo and Skye rush up the three floors of the 
tower and enter the main room on the top floor to be 
greeted by Tessa, one of the sisters, who is dying. She 
explains that the ceremony was an exorcism and it had 
failed terribly. With her last breath, Tessa pleads for us 
to help Elena. Bursting into the chamber of the exorcism, 
Ryudo and Skye are witness to something terrible. They see 
Elena floating in a cloud of darkness, sprouting wings!! 
Quickly dragging her down and escaping before the tower is 
engulfed by darkness, Ryudo succeeds in saving her. When 
Elena comes too outside and learns of what has happened, 
she is grief stricken. Ryudo insists they press on, and 
thus they return to Carbo Town. 

-Carbo Town After the Failed Exorcism: When they return, it 
is nighttime and Elena is very shaken, having been told she 
sprouted wings and her friends are all dead. Returning to 
the church, Father Carius instructs Elena to go to sleep 
and he talks with Ryudo. Carius tells Ryudo what actually 
happened, that the exorcism was a ceremony of sealing. 
Essentially Valmar, the god of evil, has been sealed across 
the lands. In this case, the Wings of Valmar had been 
sealed by Granas in Garmia Tower and were starting to break 
free, the ceremony was a final attempt to reseal them, 
which failed. Carius and Ryudo discuss it further and 
Carius asks Ryudo to escort Elena to the St. Heim Papal 
State to see Pope Zera. Ryudo initially refuses but his 
refusal is cut short by a loud crash. Carius and Ryudo rush 
outside to see a succubus lady  ( Millenia the Wings of 
Valmar! ) having destroyed the statue of Granas outside the 
church. Words are exchanged and Millenia shows a particular 
interest in Ryudo. At this point Ryudo and Millenia fight 
and Millenia runs off after winning, promising to make 
Ryudo hers. Afterwards, Ryudo agrees to help Carius escort 
Elena, and on the morrow, to the objection of her ( she 
does not like Geohound scum ), they leave Carbo Town. 

-After Carbo Town Into Agear: Ryudo, Elena, and Skye 
venture into the Inor mountains after leaving Carbo Town. 
At one point, when the group camps, you learn that Ryudo 
has a soft spot for Elena under his hard visage and Skye 
tells him to follow his heart basically. Elena, hearing all 
of this, takes a different approach to Ryudo now, being 
really nice to him. After their trip past the Inor 
Mountains, you see that the town of Agear has been ruined 
by monsters ( destroyed ). There is a cave at the back of 
the town which monsters suddenly flooded from, destroying 
the town. Ryudo and Elena decide to hole up in a shanty-inn 
constructed by an old friend of Ryudo, Vyx. Ryudo and Vyx 
chat it up for a good while, and Ryudo learns what happened 
to the town, but at one point they are interrupted by a 
group of people at a nearby table ( Circus Carnies as Ryudo 
calls them ) arguing with a little kid named Roan. 

-Roan's Plight and the Durham Cave: Roan, it seems, is a 
wandering kid who was traveling with Gonzola ( leader of 
the Carnies ) and his band but managed to lose his mother's 
medal ( memento ) in the Durham Cave. Ryudo doesn't agree 
to anything and basically tells the kid off, at which point 
Elena collapses from eating too many Kuko Berries ( poor 
girl ). Ryudo carries her off to her room but is almost 
immediately engaged by a returning Millenia as he enters 
his room. Skye and Ryudo agree to let Millenia come with 
them. At this point one of Gonzola's cronies informs Ryudo 
and the group that Roan has run off to find the medal of 
his mother, essentially he ran into the cave alone, not a 
smart move. Ryudo, Millenia, and Skye run through the ruins 
of the town and into the caves, where they search for Roan. 
After finding him on the second level ( saving him from a 
horde of monsters ) and Millenia takes a shine to him, the 
four continue on through the cave, looking for Roan's 
medal. After some harrowing adventures around the cave, the 
party will come across a large minotaur. You must do battle 
with the minotaur. Once it is defeated, Roan gets his medal 
back, but something odd happens. Millenia, while frying the 
minotaur, laments aloud to herself  that no one will mess 
with the wings of Valmar. Taken by surprise, Ryudo asks her 
about this, but she protests and you leave the cave.

-Once out of the cave, you watch Millenia have some fun 
with you and then transform back into her most famous other 
form, Elena. Baffled by this, Roan and Ryudo ask Elena what 
she remembers. Not remembering anything, Elena laments that 
the wings of Valmar must be inside of her. Oh my. Shaken by 
this and Roan's telling statement that Millenia cannot 
truly be evil, the party regroups and heads back to the Inn 
of Vyx. There, Gonzola and Paella, his wife, greet you, 
commenting on what an excellent job you did. After a 
squabble, they send you on your way, as the path out of 
Agear is now clear. Roan, insisting on coming and with 
Ryudo allowing it, joins the party. 

-From Agear your party walks south to the great baked 
plains. There the group encounters many evil foes and will 
struggle to get through the first two levels of it and you 
will come to baked plains three. On three, you will see 
something that will amaze you, the granacliffs!! My god, 
they are huge, expansive, and utterly beautiful. You will 
lament over them for a little while. After a period, you 
will realize that the only way across is to use a skyway. 
Making camp for the night, the group beds down, only to be 
wakened in the night by Elena's screaming after a horrid 
dream. Ryudo wakes up to hear it is deathly quiet outside. 
After he notices this, the tent comes crashing down around 
the group as a Beast-Man attacks. After defeating him, he 
relays that it was an accidental mistake of identity. 
Mareg, the beast-man, thought that Ryudo was Ryudo's 
brother MELFICE! After the mistake, Mareg tells you that 
Melfice destroyed his village and that he is out for 
revenge. After this, Mareg departs. From here you travel to 
Liligue, a futuristic city which is mired in darkness. 

-Once in, you realize that the city, beyond the first part, 
is locked by a gate. You will enter the inn and spend the 
night, and on the morrow you proceed into the city. Just 
after you enter, you meet a little boy and his family who 
tell you of the scenario plaguing the town. It appears that  
a curse has fallen over the town, not letting them eat 
anything but the inedible and tasteless arum root. After 
hearing their plight and offering a suggestion, they tell 
you to see Gadan, the greedy man in charge of the skyway, 
who, the father of the family says, is unlikely to let you 
cross it. You go see this Gadan, and just as the father 
predicted, he will not let you cross unless you pay a hefty 
sum. It seems this fat foe of yours is quite persistent. He 
recommends you go to the church to find out about the curse 
on the city, commenting the gods must be smiling on him. 
Proceeding to the church, you learn there that the city was 
built on an ancient Granas temple which had sealed away a 
bit of Valmar. Horrified, you rush from the church only to 
discover Mareg. He joins you as he claims Melfice is in 
town and the cause of this stench that he claims to smell. 
Proceeding down to the excavation site where Gadan was 
digging into the temple, you enter it and proceed through 
it, eventually reaching the room with the formerly sealed 
orb. It appears the Tongue Of Valmar was stored here, as it 
bursts onto the scene, gulps Elena, and laughs at you. Just 
as soon as that is over, Millenia appears ( Transformed 
from Elena ) out of the mouth of that creature. You as a 
group chase after it and defeat it, returning Gadan ( who 
was the Tongue it seems, he was possessed and that is why 
he was so greedy ). To his house. It seems that Gadan and 
his Tongue had cast the darkness and now it has lifted. 
Ryudo and Mareg agree to chase after Melfice after everyone 
gets to the Cathedral of Granas in St. Heim. 

-After Gadan bites the dust, things seem to start returning 
to normal. The townspeople can eat again, the engineer and 
his family return, huzzah! Go you! Ryudo and the party 
leave the city at this via the skyway. On the skyway, they 
discuss what exactly did happen. Much confusing as to what 
happened to Gadan is abound. However, something terrible 
happens, and midway through the ride, Valmar's moon rears 
it's ugly head. The "Seas" of the Granacliffs rise up and 
churn deeply, sending the car flying. The party wakes up in 
the morning to find Ryudo, Mareg, and Roan intact, but 
Elena missing. Quickly running to look for her, they 
discover her starting at a piece of broken glass. She 
claims she just saw Millenia and talked to her. How eerie. 
Seems Millenia told Elena to get used to get and that she ( 
Millenia ) will look out for the both of them. Very nice of 
her. As you walk through the forest, your party comes 
across a very odd place, a "garden of dreams." There, 
amidst the icy glaciers, flowers are yet growing. When you 
enter, your group is approached by a small girl named Aira, 
who tells you this is her garden. After a brief 
conversation with Elena where Aira tells Elena "DON'T EAT 
ME," she runs off and you leave the garden ( which vanishes 
once you do ). The party then makes it way through the 
Lumir forest and down into south Silesia.

-The party makes its way into the village of Mirumu. This 
is a very desolate place, a very run down place, and a play 
filled with a great fear. As you enter, the Village Chief 
demands to speak with you and you retreat to his house to 
talk. He informs you that the village has a large problem. 
It seems people are falling asleep and not waking up, and 
those who do complain of vivid nightmares in which eyes 
haunt them and they relive their worst moments in life. He 
begs for you, as warriors and Elena, as a sister of Granas, 
to help him. He informs you he already called for aid from 
the Cathedral, so that should be on its way. As you return 
to the inn to attempt to acquire lodging for the night, you 
learn a bit more. It seems that the innkeeper, Irina, has a 
son who was playing with Aira ( remember her ) when he fell 
ill of the sleep disease. Imploring you to aid him and 
yelling a thousand curses at the "witch" Sandra ( mother of 
Aira ), who is constantly muttering her "cursing." 
Venturing a look, you go out to Sandra's house to find both 
she and Aira. Sandra tells you she prays to Granas and 
mixes healing herbs. She prayed to Granas and this alone 
restored her daughter, Aira's, vision. Amazed at this 
miracle, the group learns that Sandra and Aira are not so 
bad and that the villages are obviously misjudging them. 
However, it is at this moment the cavalry comes rolling in. 

-As you leave the house of Sandra, it is clear something is 
different in the village. The party goes to the town square 
to find Selene the High Priestess of Granas and her Knights 
of Granas squad at the gates of the town. It seems they are 
here to perform some sort of inquisition to determine what 
exactly is going on. They are determined to find Valmar, 
even if it takes brutal "holy fire" burning tactics ( 
village goes up ). Elena and Ryudo protest this immensely, 
claiming she has no proof of anything and is just a mad 
zealot. She forbids them from leaving the village thus. At 
this everyone gets mad and Selene deploys her troops. The 
group starts to sleep when they are all disturbed by 
nightmares. Waking up, Ryudo sees a horrid image, a flying 
eye!! Chasing after it, they follow it into a cave behind 
the house of Sandra. After going deep into the fissure of 
the cave, you find a cracked orb of Granas, which used to 
hold a part of Valmar! Good lord, it seems Valmar is indeed 
involved with all this. Quickly leaving the cave, the group 
returns to the inn to discuss what they saw. They believe 
they must go back into the cave to investigate. Everyone 
goes to sleep sans Ryudo and Elena, who stay up and talk. 
This is the start of their romance in the opinion of the 
author, their understanding. At one point it gets so heated 
with Ryudo complaining to Elena to stop whimpering about 
her soul's darkness and do something. She asks for him to 
kill her. He refuses and she runs to bed. In the morning, 
it is learned that Selene has invited the group to the town 
hall to talk. Everyone shows to find the sleeping people 
have been moved there for convenience. Selene appears and 
starts giving a cryptic message about Valmar and how they 
need to search the village people. Ryudo and Elena 
complain, telling they need to search the cave again. 
Selene, very crazed and zealot, tells her message again and 
leaves. The group starts going back to the cave, when they 
run into Aira again

-However, something odd has gone on now. Selene is even 
more strict then usual. This can only spell trouble. As you 
leave the meeting house in the town hall, you see Aira 
standing near her house. After a talk with her in which she 
desires to show you something, you follow her back into the 
shed behind her house. There, strangely, she has a shortcut 
into theroom with the broken orb of Valmar!!? She, 
however is there and you speak with her. She reveals how 
she just wanted to help people, but when she is confronted, 
she vanishes. The group, resolute to follow her, decides 
she most likely went to her Walden, the Garden of Dreams. 
You leave the cavern the long way and exit the town, taking 
the Lumir Forest into the Garden. There, you will discover 
something horrible. As you go in, you see Aira there, but 
something is desperately wrong. Elena confronts her and 
they talk for a minute, but after a bit, something strange 
happens. On Aira's forehead, where stitches once were, an 
eyeball now protrudes. Aghast, Elena backs away and Aira 
vanishes in anger. It was the EYE OF VALMAR inside of Aira. 
You must find herback to the village! When you arrive 
back at the village, seems that Selene has taken matters 
into her own hands, and she is conducting a brutal 
inquisition of Sandra. She is demanding Sandra tell her 
where Aira is, as they are obviously both practicing in the 
dark arts with Valmar. Sandra pleads but she falls on deaf 
ears. Thank heavens you arrive in time, huh? The party runs 
up and Ryudo confronts Selene. A hot verbal battle ensues, 
and after a good while, Aira arrives on scene. She comforts 
her mother and then talks to Elena. Howevershe can sense 
her mother thinks her a monster, and using a bright light 
to stun them both, escapes. Yikes, this is crazy. As Elena 
is deeply hurt, Millenia emerges from her form and takes 
over. Selene, all huffy over Aira escaping, is going to 
hold Ryudo personally responsible. After her warning, she 
walks off. This leaves Sandra, Ryudo, and Millenia to argue 
about what to do with Aira. Ryudo forces the opinion, as he 
demands they attempt to save her soul. The group sagely 
decides to check out the Garden of Dreams, as it is her 
safe haven. However, upon arrival, she is not there. 
Millenia thinks she knows though, and leads the party 
through a dark portal to the Orb room in the fissure again. 
There, as Millenia predicted, is the answer, a gateway. 
This gateway is the gateway to the soul of Aira. Millenia 
warns that there will be no turning back upon entry. The 
group enters. Battling the demons, the group fights it's 
way to the core of her soulTBC!!

Section XIII: Character Special Moves
-----------------------------------------------------------

-The special moves in Grandia II are very nice. They will 
be your meat and potatoes for the entire game. You will use 
them to smash all the major bosses and keep your game 
afloat in hard times. A note; as one upgrades the attacks, 
two things happen. The first thing is their power shoots 
through the roof. The second is that the time taken to 
execute these attacks gets lower and lower as you upgrade. 
So it behooves you to upgrade them well. Have fun!


-----------------------------------------------------------
===========================================================
                Ryudo; The Blade-Master
===========================================================
-----------------------------------------------------------


===============
Tenseiken Slash
===============


COST: One Star ( Free ), Two Star (    ), Three Star (   ), 
Four Star (    ), Five Star Fully Upgraded (     ).

USE COST: 

-Ryudo's Tenseiken Slash is the first special move you will 
ever see. As you start the game, it will be your main 
attack. The Tenseiken Slash will serve you well at first, 
as it is used at a very reasonable cost of Special Points 
and does a fair amount of damage. On the initial enemies, 
the Tenseiken Slash will prove disastrous to them, running 
them over with sheer power. As you upgrade, the damage will 
obviously increase, but as you go along in the game, this 
attack will be slowly phased out. As you acquire the Flying 
Tensekenu, you will only use this attack in a pinch to deal 
out some damage. Overall, a good attack which runs out of 
use after about the second town.



================
Purple Lightning
================


COST: One Star ( Free ), Two Star (    ), Three Star (   ), 
Four Star (    ), Five Star Fully Upgraded (     ).

USE COST: 32 Special Points.

-The Purple Lightning is a mystery to me. It is a very 
powerful attack at high level, and costs a bit less then 
the Flying Tensekenu, but not too much less ( 32 to 40 ). 
My question is why is this an attack, as it is probably 
yours. The answer, friends, is convenience. Purple 
Lightning may be less powerful then the Flying Tensekenu, 
but in a pinch it can save you. Let us make a scenario. Say 
you are fighting a boss and you have low health, so does 
it, but you only have for a Purple Lightning attack and not 
a Flying Tensekenu. Without a powerful Purple Lightning, 
you would be stuck, but with out, you can dish out a decent 
amount of damage and not get pounded while waiting for your 
Flying Tensekenu to be available again. Overall, when you 
get it, Purple Lighting at first is the better attack 
choice. The reason is economics. Ryudo will have less 
Special Points to use, so a Purple Lighting instead of a 
Flying Tensekenu may be nice. If you can pull off three 
Purple Lightings and only two Flying Tensekenus, then the 
choice is obvious. Even though it is only a middle of the 
road attack in strength, it can be very handy in a pinch. 
So I recommend you max out on it. 


================
Flying Tensekenu
================


COST: One Star ( Free ), Two Star (    ), Three Star (   ), 
Four Star (    ), Five Star Fully Upgraded (     ).

USE COST: 40 Special Points. 

-Repeat after me; thank you lord for giving me the Flying 
Tensekenu, thank you lord for giving me the flying 
Tensekenu, thank you lord for giving me the Flying 
Tensekenu

-The Flying Tensekenu will be your bread and butter, meat 
and potatoes, and essentially your only special attack used 
for about ninety percent of the game. It is an attack where 
Skye shocks the enemy, picks them up, and drops them on 
your waiting blade. This will do, especially at high 
upgrade levels, an enormous amount of damage. I estimate 
3000-5000 at top notch and in top form. As you can see, a 
great attack. Nothing much left to say beyond build it up 
and rely on it. 


================
Sky Dragon Slash
================


COST: One Star ( Free ), Two Star (    ), Three Star (   ), 
Four Star (    ), Five Star Fully Upgraded (     ).

Use Cost:

-Wow. I meangood Granas. This is the most powerful 
attack you will ever see. Ryudo, in this attack, proceeds 
to jump high up, grab his sword, and with a magical blast, 
slams it into the ground. This slam produces rippling magic 
waves and an earthquake which damage your foes. This can 
do, in top form, upwards of 5000 on all enemies. I never 
really used this attack much, as it cost a pretty Special 
Point. However, I did avail myself of it during the final 
boss battle, where I needed to distribute as much damage as 
quickly as possible. Quite impractical on anything other 
then a boss, and even then, it uses so many Special Points 
to be worthwhile ( Flying Tensekenu ). On the final boss, 
this is the most potent weapon you will have, but until 
then, lay off the sauce.


-----------------------------------------------------------
===========================================================
               Elena; The Beautiful Songstress
===========================================================
-----------------------------------------------------------


===========
Impact Bomb
===========


COST: One Star ( Free ), Two Star (    ), Three Star (   ), 
Four Star (    ), Five Star Fully Upgraded (     ).

Use Cost:

-This the second attack you will be privy to in the game, 
Elena's Impact Bomb. After you acquire her, it will be not 
much use to you, as the enemies will fall by a simple blade 
attack, so why waste special points going after them with 
an Impact Bomb? Then, one may ask, how is this attack 
useful. It is useful in any boss situation. The Impact Bomb 
is a cancel attack, meaning it stops the enemy from 
executing it's attack and partially resets the wait bar. 
This, plus a fair ( but not great ) amount of damage, make 
the Impact Bomb an attractive option while fighting the 
harder bosses and enemies, as one can time your attack to 
reset theirs. Basically, though, this attack is not used 
most of the game, except in cancel scenarios, which limits 
its usefulness. 


==============
Nightmare Ball
==============


COST: One Star ( Free ), Two Star (    ), Three Star (   ), 
Four Star (    ), Five Star Fully Upgraded (     ).

Use Cost:

-This is quite an odd attack indeed, and it has always been 
a bit of an enigma to me. What this attack is, is bubbles. 
Elena holds her staff up and releases bubbles from it for a 
radius damage around her. The damage, sadly, is not very 
good at all. Now, after that, one would think this attack 
utterly useless. Not so. The bubbles, upon connecting with 
an enemy, have a strong chance of putting that enemy to 
sleep or rendering them unconscious. This can prove VERY 
useful at the right time. If you find yourself caught in a 
tough normal battle that sees you losing health at a rapid 
rate, using this attack could very well halt the enemies in 
their tracks as they are too busy counting sheep to attack 
you. However, there is a giant downside to this attack, 
bosses. This attack is the most useless attack in the game 
against bosses, as it will NOT PUT THEM TO SLEEP. Thus do 
not even attempt to use the attack just for the bubble 
damage in those cases. Basically this can be a great attack 
if used well against normal enemies, but do not even think 
to bring it out against bosses, as it would be a waste of 
special points.


================
Droplets of Life
================


COST: One Star ( Free ), Two Star (    ), Three Star (   ), 
Four Star (    ), Five Star Fully Upgraded (     ).

Use Cost:

-This is a very nice healing special move to have at any 
time. Elena will use this special move to heal all members 
of the party a certain amount, which depends on level and 
the potency ( how many stars ) of the move. Simply said, 
this can be quite effective in any situation, as Elena can 
quickly heal everyone, giving them back a more then decent 
amount of health. Another upside is that if one runs out of 
MP, the usual source from where you gather your healing 
magic, Elena can remedy that problem by using this move. 
However, on a downside, this will drain your special points 
faster then I would like, so try to stick to healing via 
spells. It is always nice to have a backup though.


================
White Apocalypse 
================


COST: One Star ( Free ), Two Star (    ), Three Star (   ), 
Four Star (    ), Five Star Fully Upgraded (     ).

Use Cost:

-Remember Hiroshima? Nagasaki? Think of that, but on a holy 
scale. This attack is simply awesome. Elena, as she uses 
it, raises her staff and utters some words. Then the screen 
cuts to a nice CGI sequence of a giant, and I do mean 
giant, holy explosion. This explosion is focused directly 
at all the enemies. This attack, when upgraded fully, is 
the second most powerful in the game ( Sky Dragon Slash ), 
combining Granas and the Manhattan Project. This will level 
virtually any normal enemy for upwards of 5000 damage. Used 
on bosses, it proves a very effective tool, especially on 
the final boss, where if Ryudo and Elena combine this and 
the Sky Dragon Slash, where the two attacks can chip away a 
fifth of the health in no time at all. Save this puppy in 
your sack for a special occasion, and when the boss gets 
tough, you get holy on his infernal ass.

===========================================================
			Roan; The Would-Be King
===========================================================
-----------------------------------------------------------


=============
Golden Hammer
=============


COST: One Star ( Free ), Two Star (    ), Three Star (   ), 
Four Star (    ), Five Star Fully Upgraded (     ).

Use Cost:

-This is also, like Elena's Impact Bomb, a very useful 
attack. With this attack, Roan will raise a giant Golden 
Hammer ( only Granas knows how he managed to lug that 
hammer out to the battle with him ) above his head and 
chuck it at the enemy of his choice. Upon impact, the 
hammer does a fair amount of damage ( always depending on 
skill, level, and stats ) and cancels whatever the enemy 
was doing. That, my friends, is the major use of the Golden 
Hammer, cancel. Like the Impact Bomb, this is Roan's main 
cancel attack, to be used on bosses and regular enemies 
alike to halt them in their tracks and buy your health a 
breather. This attack is slightly more powerful then the 
Impact Bomb. As the game goes on, beyond cancel ( I used 
this attack a good number of times against the final boss 
for that sole purpose ), this attack is pretty useless.


==============
Snowball Fight
==============


COST: One Star ( Free ), Two Star (    ), Three Star (   ), 
Four Star (    ), Five Star Fully Upgraded (     ).

Use Cost:

-This attack scares me. Roan, when you ask him to execute 
this command, will create a huge, and I do mean HUGE, ball 
of snow over some enemies and drop it, inflicting a decent 
amount of damage. The reason this attack scares me is the 
size of the snowball. I have never seen a snowball that big 
used as an attack in a game before, so this was a first for 
many of us, including the author. Not much more to say 
about this attack, as it is decent against bosses, but I 
prefer the Dragon Rise ( To be TRUE Dragon Rise ) and other 
attacks. But if this is your cup of tea, by all means use 
it and use it proudly. Just watch out for the frostbite. 



===================================
Dragon Rise ( To TRUE Dragon Rise )
===================================


COST: One Star ( Free ), Two Star (    ), Three Star (   ), 
Four Star (    ), Five Star Fully Upgraded (     ).

Use Cost:

-Now THIS is an attack. With this, Roan beats the enemy 
around for a bit before using his dagger to initiate an 
attack he calls the Dragon Rise. This is a multi-hit attack 
which does a healthy amount of damage ( 2000-3000 ) when 
pumped up. This will be Roan's meat and potatoes attack for 
the good majority of the game and it will be your staple 
for him. Use it against regular enemies who are giving you 
a hard time. Use it against all bosses in any case, as it 
will be his main special move against them. Basically use 
it whenever you feel like, as it is potent, somewhat cheap, 
and overall a good deal. I recommend pumping this one up to 
max quickly so you can have it to truly pound the early 
bosses like the Tongue and  Eye. After a point in the game 
( I refuse to spoil it here ), Roan's Dragon Rise will be 
changed to the TRUE Dragon Rise attack. This will do at 
least 750-1000 more damage each attack then the original 
and for the same cost. Is that a good deal or what?



==============
Vitality March
==============


COST: One Star ( Free ), Two Star (    ), Three Star (   ), 
Four Star (    ), Five Star Fully Upgraded (     ).

Use Cost:

-Now this is a truly useless move, and a waste of space, 
especially since it is his final move. What the Vitality 
March does is cure status disorders for the entire team. 
This can be handy in a pinch, if you do not have turns to 
spare, but in the long run, I only used this once as I 
played the game ( never against a boss ). If I were you, I 
would not invest in this beyond one slot ( for a pinch ) 
and save your points for other, more important things. 



-----------------------------------------------------------
===========================================================
               Millenia; The Wings of Valmar
===========================================================
-----------------------------------------------------------



==========
Arrow Shot
==========


COST: One Star ( Free ), Two Star (    ), Three Star (   ), 
Four Star (    ), Five Star Fully Upgraded (     ).

Use Cost:

-Think Impact Bomb and Golden Hammer when you think of the 
Arrow Shot. Millenia's Arrow Shot falls under the same 
category, cancel attacks. With this attack, Millenia simply 
aims her crossbow at the enemy, enchants the arrow with a 
kiss of magic, and lets fly. This is a very useful attack, 
especially for the first bit of the game and even into the 
late parts of it. Why, you ask? Simply because it is quite 
potent ( more so then the aforementioned other two ) and 
cancels the enemy's move. I was using this one late into 
the game just for the cancel effect, which I especially 
needed on the later bosses who would beat up on me if I did 
not cancel their attacks with skill. I recommend pumping 
this one to maximum so you can do the most damage possible 
while canceling. 



============
Fallen Wings
============


COST: One Star ( Free ), Two Star (    ), Three Star (   ), 
Four Star (    ), Five Star Fully Upgraded (     ).

Use Cost:

-This is possibly the coolest attack in the game. Why, you 
ask? Well, two reasons. One, the powerful nature of it, and 
two, the awesome graphics that come packaged with it. What 
happens with this attack is that Millenia gets pissed and 
opens her wings, proceeding to unleash energy balls of 
darkness on all the enemies. This attack is very powerful, 
doing upwards of 3000 at maximum potency. Also, this attack 
will be your staple with Millenia on the bosses, as you 
will use it a couple of times with her to soften them up 
and then proceed to have the rest of your party beat the 
boss down. I recommend getting this skill up to five stars 
and maximum efficiency as fast as possible, as the power it 
brings and the quick-cast of it will behoove you immensely 
on all bosses. 



==========
Heel Crush
==========


COST: One Star ( Free ), Two Star (    ), Three Star (   ), 
Four Star (    ), Five Star Fully Upgraded (     ).

Use Cost:

--This attack is an enigma to me, and because of the poor 
placement of it, I never used it. It is placed between a 
tool attack, the Arrow Shot, and your meat and potatoes, 
the Fallen Wings. It thus can be left by the wayside. 
Basically a crush which hurts the enemies. It costs a bit 
less then the Fallen Wings and does less damage, but I 
never found any use for it. I would simply default to other 
attacks. If you wish to use it fine. If you have TIPS on 
when to use it or when it would be effective, email me, as 
I never found a good use for it. 


===============
Starving Tongue
===============


COST: One Star ( Free ), Two Star (    ), Three Star (   ), 
Four Star (    ), Five Star Fully Upgraded (     ).

Use Cost:

-This attack, although many tend to overlook it, is 
incredibly useful. It is the attack Millenia absorbs from 
her lovely friend, the Tongue of Valmar, upon his defeat. 
This attack also has a good graphics scene, where a big 
mouth draws enemies in and eats them, giving back it's 
decent damage as health to Millenia. This attack can be 
used in place of Fallen Wings if you wish. It does slightly 
less damage but since it returns the damage as health, it 
costs more. I found nice use of this against the tougher 
bosses like the Eye, where I could use it and save Millenia 
a round healing herself or having someone else heal her 
when this attack would do it for me. Defiantly put this one 
up to max if you intend to use it, as it can be rather 
handy. 



================
Spellbinding Eye
================


COST: One Star ( Free ), Two Star (    ), Three Star (   ), 
Four Star (    ), Five Star Fully Upgraded (     ).

Use Cost:

-This, like the aforementioned attack, is gained from the 
defeat of a Valmar vestige. This one is gained, as the name 
says, when Millenia absorbs the Eye of Valmar into her. 
This attack, being a top one, is not that great. When used, 
a giant eye reveals itself in an awesome show of graphics, 
and it proceeds to freeze up the enemies. I found this 
mildly useful against annoying regular enemies, but never 
used it once against bosses. Like the Heel Crush, this one 
fell by the wayside for me. I do not recommend putting much 
into this.



==============
Grudging Claws
==============


COST: One Star ( Free ), Two Star (    ), Three Star (   ), 
Four Star (    ), Five Star Fully Upgraded (     ).

Use Cost:

-This attack, which Millenia absorbs from the lovely Claws 
of Valmar, I found quite nice indeed. It is her most 
powerful attack by far, but it can be only used against one 
enemy. When she unleashes this attack, a giant claw will 
come crashing up and grab onto a silver ball, containing 
your enemies. The claw will proceed to crush this ball into 
a bloody pulp for an excellent amount of damage. This 
attack is very useless against regular enemies, as it costs 
a good deal and by using it on regular enemies, you are 
just wasting special points. However on bosses, especially 
the last one, this attack is quite handy, as you can dish 
out a great deal of damage in one punch. I recommend 
bulking up on this one in a big way, and soon, so you can 
unleash this attack on unsuspecting foes quickly and 
deadly. 



-----------------------------------------------------------
===========================================================
                    Mareg; The Beast-Man
===========================================================
-----------------------------------------------------------



==============
Beast-Fang Cut
==============


COST: One Star ( Free ), Two Star (    ), Three Star (   ), 
Four Star (    ), Five Star Fully Upgraded (     ).

Use Cost:

-This is Mareg's first attack, and a very useful one at 
that. This attack is the most powerful first attack in the 
game and with good reason, I mean look at the guy, he is 
huge! This will be a very useful attack at first, as the 
cancel will behoove you greatly. But as you go along this 
attack will quite quickly fall by the wayside. All of the 
other first attack cancel attacks are at range, letting one 
stay away from the enemies and not taking very much time to 
execute. This one is not at range, so it leaves you close 
to enemies. This is a minor inconvenience, but I like to 
remain as far away as possible. Also, Mareg's second attack 
is so much better that you will quickly forget this one 
ever existed except in desperate situations where a cancel 
is quickly needed. I recommend building this one up, but it 
is not necessary to go all the way. Due to the


================
Beast-King Smash
================


COST: One Star ( Free ), Two Star (    ), Three Star (   ), 
Four Star (    ), Five Star Fully Upgraded (     ).

Use Cost:

-This, along with the next attack, will be your staple for 
Mareg the entire game. I predict that upon the close of the 
game, you will have used this attack about 50-50 percent of 
the time with the next attack, Beast-King Blast, as they 
are both that useful. What the Beast-King Cut does is Mareg 
leaps around and pounds his axe multiple times down on a 
single enemy, leading to a great ( 3000 at max ) damage 
number. I suggest you build this attack up very quickly ( 
possibly, along with the Flying Tensekenu the first you 
build up ), as it's great strength will keep you alive in 
the middle period where Elena has not yet developed into an 
attack machine and Roan is not quite there either. Be 
prepared to rely much on this. You will use it against all 
bosses, all regular enemies that you have trouble with, and 
anything else. 



================
Beast-King Blast
================


COST: One Star ( Free ), Two Star (    ), Three Star (   ), 
Four Star (    ), Five Star Fully Upgraded (     ).

Use Cost: 

-This attack, like I mentioned above, is the other staple 
of Mareg. You will be using this attack until the end of 
the game. This attack, unlike the aforementioned one, can 
hit multiple foes, which behooves its use. What the attack 
does it Mareg spins his axe around and slams it into the 
ground, creating a fire quake of sounds in a radius around 
him. Any enemies in this radius are damaged by the attack. 
This attack will do similar damage to the one above and 
costs only slightly more. I recommend you build this attack 
up quickly as well, as to reap the benefits of a great 
radius based attack. 



===========
Lion's Roar
===========


COST: One Star ( Free ), Two Star (    ), Three Star (   ), 
Four Star (    ), Five Star Fully Upgraded (     ).

Use Cost:

-Every character has at least a semi-useless move. This is 
that move for Mareg. The Lion's Roar allows Mareg to boost 
the attack power of all allies. This one aspect is what 
saves the attack from the depths of uselessness, the all 
part. If this attack centered only on Mareg, I would not 
recommend getting it at all, as a well placed "Wow" cast 
will do that times two. But since this attack hits all 
allies, it does have a saving grace and can come in handy 
at times, especially when facing a tough foe like a big bad 
vestige of Valmar. I recommend putting a bit into this ( 
two or three should do ).

===========================================================
		   Tio; The Automaton With Heart
===========================================================
-----------------------------------------------------------



============
Lotus Flower
============


COST: One Star ( Free ), Two Star (    ), Three Star (   ), 
Four Star (    ), Five Star Fully Upgraded (     ).

Use Cost:

-This is a very useful attack indeed. What happens with the 
Lotus Flower is that Tio sends in a straight line pattern 
her Lotus. Any enemy in that line is hit by it, and any 
attacks are appropriately canceled. If Mareg's first attack 
is the strongest, then Tio's is the best. She can dish out 
a fair amount of damage with this, cancel attacks, and hit 
multiple enemies. There is nothing more to say but get it 
up to maximum and use it often. 



================
Fast-Dance Whirl
================


COST: One Star ( Free ), Two Star (    ), Three Star (   ), 
Four Star (    ), Five Star Fully Upgraded (     ).

Use Cost:

-This is a nice attack for Tio. What happens is that Tio 
rushes up to any enemy of her choice and simply starts 
pounding away for ten or so hits. This attack can dish out 
a fair amount of damage and is rather cheap, so I see no 
reason not to build it up a bit, two or three sounds right. 
I do not recommend more, as you should put that into the 
Lotus Flower or her next attack. This attack is very handy 
if you are low on Special Points and want a decent amount 
of damage dished out ( does more then the Lotus Flower ) 
while not hurting your pocket for points. On the whole I 
did not use it unless it was that case. 



=======
Tornado
=======


COST: One Star ( Free ), Two Star (    ), Three Star (   ), 
Four Star (    ), Five Star Fully Upgraded (     ).

Use Cost: 

-This is Tio's meat and potatoes attack. This attack is 
expensive, true, and it does a little less damage then I 
would like, but it can come in handy in a pinch. What this 
attack does is that Tio unleashes a Tornado, true to it's 
name, which sucks up and throws the enemies out for a 
certain amount of damage. This attack will come in handy 
against large groups of annoying regular enemies or against 
bosses, where the added damage is a big plus. Just watch 
your special points meter, as it can drain your special 
points incredibly quickly ( make sure to save a bit for the 
Lotus if needed ). I recommend you build this one up as 
much as you can ( 3 or 4 ) as a powerful attack from Tio is 
quite handy later in the game where Ryudo has become your 
main power man.

-This section will be devoted to putting all the idle, non-
game-advancing conversations of the game into writing.

-Please note this. I am not really doing this as I am so 
desperate to sit down and record everything. I am doing 
this for sheer love of the game that you and I are 
currently playing, Grandia II. Please appreciate this 
section as much as possible, as it really did take forever 
to do and made me spend much longer then I normally would 
have. Thank You. 


----------------------------
Carbo Town Before The Church
----------------------------


Man One ( Blonde Hair ): Well, Well, what have we here. We 
don't see the likes of your kind around here very often, 
Geohound. Do you know someone here? 
Ryudo: No, I've been asked here. You know anything about 
the church of Granas? 
Man One: Yeah, I do. They're nice people, they help out a 
lot. Something a cretin like you could never understand. 

Woman One ( Pink Dress ): Grandmother read the signs, and 
she said something about the powers of darknessSomething 
bad is supposed to happen. I don't understandbut I'm sure 
we'll be all right if we have each other! That's it! As 
long as my beloved husband is with me
Ryudo: Well, love is not exactly my fieldGeohounds are 
rarely given the opportunity to gain any experience, you 
know?

Child One ( Green Hair ): Umhey. Are you a Geohound?
Ryudo: What if I am?
Child: Aren't Geohounds known for being savage? You don't 
bathe, and you drink the blood of the monsters you 
slaughter, right?
Ryudo: Close. We BATHE in the blood of our kill.

Woman Two ( Old and with gray hair ): Well there, young 
oneI ain't ever seen you before. You want to talk to old 
granny? The only thing I'm good for now is telling tales 
and folk's fortunesDo you want to hear anything?

Tale of Valmar's Moon: Woman: Two moons in the heavens. The 
second one is false. Misfortune it is, an abomination. When 
the moon brings the darkness, then shall the abomination 
appear. Darkness and doom shall reign over all.
Ryudo: So you're telling me the moon is the sign of Valmar? 
Wow, you've got a vice-grip on the obvious
Woman: Hee hee! What a clever lad! I just guess you're too 
smart for me to tell you something you already know.

The Battle of Good and Evil: Woman: Long, long ago, the 
world was split in two. Light and Darkness fought a bitter 
war that lasted for ages. But finally Granas, the lord of 
light, defeated Valmar, the devil of darkness. Exhausted 
from the battle, Granas slept. 
Ryudo: Right, right. Granas won, I know. But then, how come 
the tale doesn't end with a "happily ever after?"
Woman: Because there wasn't one, I guesslook about you, 
clever lad. Can't you see the misfortune left over from the 
battle? 

Tell me my fortune then: Woman: Why it can't bebut it IS! 
Your palm speaks of a woman trouble, yet it also speaks of 
a great love! Never before have I seen such a palm!
Skye: Woman trouble AND a great love? For Ryudo? Check 
again, old woman.
Ryudo: Skye, are you taking this SERIOUSLY?! Listen 
grannywoman trouble? Love? Not me. Not ever. 

Child Two ( Green hair and gray clothes ): Waaaaaaah! 
Elena, help me! Leo's trying to beat me up again! 
Elenaaaaaaaa! Waaaah. Elenaaaaa!
Ryudo: Get your eyes checked, kid. I'm not Elena. 
Child: Waaaahhuh? You're not? Well then go find Elena for 
me! Elenaaaaa! Waaah. Elenaaaaa! 
Skye: There are other Sisters of Granas. Why do you want 
the Songstress?

Woman Three ( Bonnet and earth tone dress ): The sisters 
have all gone to Garmia Tower in the Black Forest. I hope 
they are all right
Ryudo: Granas should reward their piety, right?
Woman: I hope sothere are so many monsters in that 
regionI can't help but worry

Man Two ( Yellow/Brown Clothes, hair covered ): Well, well, 
well. What have we here!? Come to ask Lord Granas for help? 
EVERYONE needs help THESE days
Ryudo: Hardly apparently your Granas has a keen sense of 
irony. The church wants MY help. 
Skye: Where IS the church, anyway?
Man: Its right over there. But the churchhiring a 
Geohound? That's a new one.

Child Three ( Pink Hair, Girl ): The other day, Elena 
Taught me a NEW SONG! Its called the "SONG OF LIGHT!" Or a 
hymn to Granas, praised be the name. Um, do you want to 
hear it? 
Ryudo: A hymn to Granas, huh? I don't think so. I'm not too 
big on hymns

Man Three ( Old with Cane ): The crops are scarce lately. 
Nowadays I have to climb over a couple hills to look for 
them. Ain't never been like this before.
Ryudo: You're not the only person who's been saying that 
old man. I hear it everywhere. But, uh, aren't you a little 
bit old to be working so hard? 
Man: It ain't the working. Folks should help each other out 
in times like these. NOT helping would weigh heavier on me, 
sonny. 
Ryudo: Yeahright

Man Four ( Carbo, House One ): Our harvests of fruits and 
vegetables haven't been too good lately, I wonder if it's 
the same elsewhere?
Ryudo: During my travels, I have noticed others complaining 
of bad harvests as well. 
Man: Yeah. I figured that we weren't the only village 
having such a hard time. 

Man Five ( Carbo, House Two ): Ah, you must be the 
Geohound. Its so good of you to come here to help us.
Ryudo: Whoa, now, gramps? You feeling well? For future 
reference, no one thanks a geohound. Everyone hates us, 
remember? 
Man: Oh, no, no. I'm grateful for the dangerous job you are 
doing. - slaying monsters. That's something I could never 
do.
Skye: Well, well! I have been despised before but never 
thanked. 

Man Six ( Carbo, House Three ): The monsters from the Black 
Forest have lately begun to come out around the village. I 
fear that some day my wife or children might be attacked 
The world has become a dangerous place. 
Ryudo: Logic dictates that dense forests are to be the 
nesting ground for monsters Don't let the women and kids 
near them. 

Woman Four ( Carbo, House Three ): Are those sisters going 
to be all right? Going off to that weird tower for an 
exorcism. 
Skye: An exorcism those church girls are off to an 
EXORCISM? 
Ryudo: For some sort of supreme deity, Granas sure does 
know how to dodge responsibility. Sends all his lackeys to 
do his work.. 
Woman: What a thing to say! Dear little Tessa and the 
others in the church work so hard so that you can live 
happily.

Woman Five ( Carbo, House Four ): Are you are traveler? We 
have some delicious jam, so would you like to try some? 
Ryudo: Jam? Uh, no. I'll pass. I can't stand sweet food.
Skye: That is rather odd. It does not appear that they can 
harvest enough fruit to make this jam. 
Woman: Oh, yes, father Carius taught us how to plant and 
tend orchards. That's why we have enough fruit. 

Man Seven ( Green all over outside ): I don't know WHAT to 
do. The orchards are hardly producing. Nothing to sell, and 
barely enough to eat ourselves. 
Skye: That is more than can be said of other towns. Many 
are starving, you should count yourselves lucky to have 
what you do. 
Ryudo: Barely eating and still motivated to make some 
goldha! My kind of people indeed!
Man: Making money? Heavens no. That's not why we sell to 
the merchants. We just want other villages to enjoy the 
good food.

Woman Six ( Old, outside near gate to church ): Oh, I'm so 
disappointed there is no mass today at church. Now I won't 
hear that beautiful Songstress' voice today. 
Skye: Songstress? Mass? Umuh, yeah. I do not know what 
this is all about, we just came to report for work.
Woman: Of, of course. Forgive me. Normally there is a mass 
in the evening, and a songstress sings for us.  

Man Eight ( Old, cane, Near House Two ): I take you for a 
geohound, am I not right? It's in your EYES, lad. The SAME 
eyes I had at your age. 
Ryudo:<<sarcasm>> Do tell. This ought to be entertaining. 
Man: I've had about enough of songstress tales from the old 
bat! You came at the right time, let me tell you a tale. A 
tale of a man called Flyin' Jim Phoenix! The only man to 
fall to the depths of the Granacliffs and live to tell the 
tale!
Ryudo: Look, gramps, NO ONE survives a fall from the 
Granacliffs. 

---------------------------
Carbo Town After The Church
---------------------------

Woman Six: There was no mass, but could you hear her? How 
was her voice, the songstress? Did it not stay echoing in 
your heart? 
Ryudo: Yeah, it's still stuck in me somewhere, she's got a 
voice, ill give you that, but she's kind of rowdy for a 
songstress
Woman: Rowdy? You must be mistaken. I've never known a more 
kind, gentle girl. She's loved by Everyone in the village. 
Skye: Hah ha Ryudo. Your moth digs let enough hole you 
cannot climb out of. 

Man Seven: Of all the sisters in the Church, Elena has been 
the most helpful. She taught our daughter the hymns, and 
looked after her. So our little daughter looks up to her 
now, and says " Someday, I'm going to be a songstress just 
like sister Elena!"
Ryudo: Well LUCKY YOU! As far as I'm concerned she's 
nothing but a burden. 

Man in front of Item Store: Did you meet the songstress 
yet? She should be in the Church, practicing. 
Ryudo: No, I just went to the church. They're finished 
practicing. 
Man: Then you heard her! Isn't she wonderful!? Its almost 
as if she can purify your heart with her voice. 


-----------------------------------------
Carbo Town After the Acquisition of Elena
-----------------------------------------


All of this is after you emerge from the inn after getting 
Elena.

Man( In front of Item Store ): Why Songstress, isn't a bit 
late for you to be out? Where are you headed?
Elena: It is late. I am going to Garmia Tower for a special 
Ceremony.
Man: Garmia Tower? Why, that is a dangerous place even in 
the daytime. Why THERE!?
Skye: Don't worry. The lady won't be alone. We are 
protecting her. 

Man( In front of Inn ): Elena, dear, you're going to the 
Tower, aren't you? Are you prepared? The tower is a 
dangerous place, you know. Do you have some "Wound Salve?" 
Do you have any "Poison Antidote?" Anything elselets see.
Ryudo: Excuse me, hello? We're capable of preparing 
ourselves. I AM a professional, you know. 

Boy ( Left of fountain with Aquamarine Cap ): Hey, Elena. I 
heard you are going to the Black Forest! Will you be 
alright by yourself? 
Elena: LeoI will be fine. Besides, this Geohound is going 
to watch over me. 
Leo: No! Don't trust him. Being with a Geohound makes it 
even more dangerous!
Ryudo: Hey, kid, I'm getting paid here, so I WILL protect 
the little lady. What're you worried about? 

Man ( Right of Fountain with brown vest and yellow cap ): 
Songstress! Is it true? Are you really going to the tower 
outside of town? Don't go! Its dangerous! Where there are 
huge spiders everywhere. At least take some "Wound Salve" 
with you. Maybe I should go with you. 
Ryudo: Look here you two-bit hired sword. I'm the 
professional here. She'll be just fine with me. You'd just 
get in the way. 
Elena: Ryudo! Use a little tact! He means well. 
Man: Well then! You certainly are not lacking in 
CONFIDENCE. But see to it that you DO take good care of 
her. 

Woman( Just beyond fountain, earth tone dress ): Elena! 
Elena, is it true? Are you going to Garmia Tower too? I'm 
so WORRIED about you
Elena: Worry not, grandmother. It is nothing more than an 
errand. We will all be just fine.
Woman: Do you think so? Well, take care, all of you. 

Man( All green, near hour four ): Elena Dear? Are you 
certain that it's a good idea to walk around with 
thatGeohound lad? 
Elena: here is a ceremony I must perform. We will go to 
Garmia tower and then be right back. 
Man: But ElenaThey say that monsters have attacked people 
there. That worries me. 
Ryudo: And that would explain me and my weaponry. Quit 
whining. She's well taken care of. 

Old Man( Near house One ): The setting of the sun ain't so 
pretty any more. More and more folks speak of the day of 
darkness these days.
Elena: We all fear the darkness

Old Man ( Near house Three ): Just looking at the sky 
beings it all back. A contest of strength with that beast-
man. Why, he picked up a tree as thick as 10 of you, young 
lad. He turned to me and said: "Can you do THIS?"
Ryudo: Is it story time again? Wait! Let me find a place to 
curl up for a nap. 
Man: So I walked over and snatched that tree, and whirled 
it around and around with the beat-man still holding on, 
HAH!

Boy ( Behind House Two ): Um. Elena? The forest is filled 
with, like, monsters, so get back before it's too dark, 
okay?
Elena: Oh, that is very sweet of you to worry, but you 
ought to think of yourself too. Hurry back home before the 
moon comes out. 
Boy: Um, okay! Right. Be careful, Elena. Sing for us again 
when you get back, k? 

Man ( House One Inside ): Hmmm, isn't this delicious? A 
wife's cooking is the best because its flavored with the 
spice of love! 
Ryudo: Are you talking about this red soup with uncooked 
vegetables dropped on the top? Real culinary genius. 
Man: Of course! The crisp vegetables create a crunchy 
harmony that is enhanced by the bold, aggressive seasoning! 
Such a feast! 
Skye: Its not something to get THAT worked up over

Woman( House One ): Darling, I made a special dish to thank 
you for all of your hard work! Oh! I thought you were my 
husband. 
Ryudo: You call this food? The strange red liquid with 
chunks floating in it? 
Woman: That's right! The red color is a special spice. 
Doesn't it look delicious?
Skye: Oh, I think this is beyond the concept of delicious

Old Man ( House Two ): Well, Hello, Elena. Going out at 
this hour? Be careful not to fall down! 
Elena: I will have you know that I am NOT a child. I will 
not "fall down" when I am outside in the dark. 
Man: I know, I know, dearie. But if you fall down at night, 
you'll be snatched by the army of darkness. 
Skye: Is that some sort of local superstition? 

Woman ( House Three ): Ah, that cursed moon hands in the 
sky. Why does my son not listen to me? That idiot never 
comes early on such days as this. 
Elena: He has not returned? But the moon of Valmar is about 
to rise
Woman: That is just it! And I keep telling him over and 
over, come here once the Moon comes out! 
Ryudo: I know! Maybe he is TOO BUSY enjoying his childhood. 
I got an idea. Let's strip that from him and force him to 
grow up. 

Little Girl ( House Four ): With the morning light the word 
abounds, a miracle is brought to passAh miss Elena! Good 
Evening!
Elena: Good evening. Why are you home already? Your friends 
are still outside playing
Girl: Yes, its almost dark, right? Daddy and Mommy would 
worry. 


-------------------------------------------------
Carbo Town, After Exorcism has Failed ( return ). 
-------------------------------------------------


Man (Green Clothes): Huh? What in the world happened to 
make you cry so Elena? Where are the other sisters? 
Elena: Sniff
Ryudo: Its nothing, all right? I'm taking her to the 
church. Do not go outside tonight. I mean it. Stay indoors. 

Woman ( Pink next to green man ): Why Elena dear, what's 
wrong? What are you doing here at a time like this? 
Elena: Sniff
Ryudo: Don't worry, its nothing, I'm escorting her to the 
church. 
Woman: Well all right. But she looks rather pale. Is 
everything all right? 

Old Woman ( outside house two ): You'll have to get back to 
church to tell father Carius young lad. You take care of 
Elena now. 

-----------------------------------------------------------
Carbo Town, After the Battle with Millenia, Before you 
Leave the Town Forever.
-----------------------------------------------------------

Woman ( Gray Hair outside of inn ): Ah, yes. The moon did 
have a sinister glow to it that night. It was an omen of 
the coming darkness. But Elena, that is not to say that I 
did not realize until now how hard your service has been 
for Granas. 
Elena: Not a word of that, grandmother. It was my wish to 
go to Granas Cathedral. 

Man ( Outside Inn ): It has been so hard for you, 
songstress. What with Tessa and, you still. You still 
intend to leave so soon? Those terrible things just 
happened. Why don't you give yourself some more time?
Elena: I am so sorry to make you worry about me. But I must 
go to Granas Cathedral. I have a job to do! Besides, Tessa 
would chide me if I do not get going!

Man ( Green w/ Yellow Hair just inside gate ): Well, well, 
you are made of sterner stuff than I thought. Talking back 
to that witch who destroyed the statue with one blow. 
Ryudo: It wasn't for your sake, so don't get the wrong 
idea. She pissed me off, that's all. 
Skye: So no one can say nice things about you either, eh?

Woman ( Bottom of Fountain, Pink ): Say, who was that 
monster woman? Did you see her smash the statue of lord 
Granas with one blow!? Is this what grandmother spoke of 
when she talked about the day of darkness? If it is, what 
shall we do? 

Kid ( Fountain Left ): Wow. That was a monster! I mean, 
they are really unstoppable, wow. 
Elena: Leo, is something the matter? You have been 
practicing for this, right? Come on, cheer up!
Kid: Elena, are you kidding? That monster? Now way! I cant. 
Ryudo: You are right Leo, There's no way a little runt like 
you could protect anyone!

Woman ( Fountain Top ): The statue of lord Granas in 
pieces. So, what happened that night wasn't a nightmare. If 
we are to be attacked by demons like that, what will happen 
to the village?
Elena: Grandmother, cheer up! We may have lost the statue 
of lord Granas, but we did not lose you! The statue can be 
rebuilt.

Man ( Green, Fountain Top ): Word has it that you're going 
to the Granas cathedral in the papal state of St. Heim. 
Elena: Yes, but I feel awful for leaving everyone in the 
village at a time like this.
Man: Not to worry, Elena dear. Father Carius is with us, 
but please be very careful of mushrooms as you cross the 
Inor Mountains. 
Ryudo: Mushrooms? 
Man: Some mushrooms of the Inor mountains are used as nests 
by monsters. Its best to avoid them if you can. 
Ryudo: Nests, eh? Monsters keep treasures in their nests, 
though. Easy money if you ask me. 
Skye: True, but is it worth the risk? 
Ryudo: Risk? What risk? We grab the treasure, and if a 
monster comes at us, we hammer it. Where is the risk in 
that? 

Kid ( Near house 3 ): Oh! Hi Elena! You're going to Granas 
cathedral, right? Here, take this with you. 
Elena: Why thankHmm. What is this? Its fluffy. What 
strange nut is this. Where did you find it? 
Kid: I found it when Leo and I were playing outside the 
village. Its my special treasure, but you can keep it as a 
charm. 
Elena: Why Lenny, you are such a sweetie. Thank you for 
thinking about me. I will take really good care of it. 
<<POFF NUT ACQUIRED!!>>>
Kid: Gee Elena, I guess witches really do exist. She was 
scary, really scary. 
Elena: Now don't you worry Lenny, you just leave the 
witches to me. I can take care of them, okay? 
Skye: She obviously is more frightened then the boy, yet 
see how she carries herself. Less a pampered little girl 
than a
Ryudo: Knock it off, Skye. Still, she's harder to figure 
out then most women.

Man ( Old, House 2 ): Mr. Geohound, thank you for 
protecting our village. 
Ryudo: Did not look like anyone else was going to stand up 
and fight. Besides, why thank me when she got away safely? 
Man: Oh, driving her off was more than enough! Besides, we 
couldn't protect the village on our own. 

Man ( Outside House One, Old ): Looks like this village 
ain't even safe any more. Seeing as how a woman like that, 
more like a monster, shows her face here. 
Elena: Grandfather, I have decided to go to the Papal State 
of St. Heim to serve Lord Granas. To tell the truth, I do 
not wish to leave the village, but I
Man: Don't you fret, Elena! We all know you're going for 
our sake!

Man ( House 1 ): I thought this village would always be 
safe because of the dedicated Father and the Sisters here. 
But after that horrible witch appeared, I started thinking, 
maybe this village is doomed too. 

Woman ( House 4 ): Miss Elena, so you are safe! I'm so 
glad, I heard of trouble at the church. A horrible monster 
came and smashed the statue of lord Granas. How could such 
terrible things happen? 
Elena: Please worry not about me. I am going to visit 
Holiness Pope Zera to ensure that such a dreadful event 
never happens again. 

Kid ( House 4 ): Miss Elena, are you really going far away? 
Elena: Yes, I am. But I wanted to hear your song one more 
time before I left, to make me happy. I was disappointed to 
not see you practicing outside today, like usual. 
Kid: After the scary with appeared, I'm scared to go 
outside, I cant practice outside anymore. 

Man ( House 3 ): Even here it has happened, the rumors that 
the powers of darkness grow stronger with each passing day 
are true after all. 
Elena: Please do not worry. I am traveling to see his 
Holiness pope Zera to find out how we can seal in the 
darkness that haunts us. 
Man: Elena, dear, don't overdo it. If we all work together, 
we can do it. You need not do it all yourself. 

--------------------------------
Agear Town Just After You Arrive
--------------------------------

Guard: This used to be a town where travelers could rest, 
but now its in ruins, ordinarily they'd just write the 
place off. But this town remains an important crossroads, 
that is why we are here. 
Elena: I think what you are doing is wonderful. You are 
helping so many people this way! 
Ryudo: Yeah. But with the road blocked, it doesn't matter 
to us if anyone guards this spot or not. 

Guard ( outside inn ): Alright, lets make the best of it 
and get some rest till morning. 
Ryudo: You mean you sleep here. Ive sleepy in nicer rain-
drenched caves. 
Guard: This is a fine inn, a gentleman Vyx built it after 
the monsters destroyed the town. 

Guard (Gate): You guys sure picked the wrong time to come 
here, as you can see, the road is blocked. You cant get 
through. 
Skye: Talk about a mess. What on earth happened here 
anyway? 
Guard: We were attacked by monsters, bird brain. They came 
from a cave at the base of the mountain and did a number on 
our town.

Guard ( roaming behind armor shop ): This town was a pretty 
lively place until it got thrashed by those monsters. 
Ryudo: Those damn monsters. How the hell did they get over 
that wall!
Guard; They didn't have to. They came from a cave at the 
base of the mountain. The wall was useless. 

Man ( Roaming, green hair ): You cant go into town, its too 
dangerous, you never know when the monsters may return. 
Ryudo: Get out of my way, rookie. Ive been doing this long 
enough to know when I'm in danger and when I'm not.  
Man: This is my home, I may have ran away when the monsters 
came, but now I'm back for good. 

------------------------------------------
Agear Town, After Millenia Joins The Group
------------------------------------------

Guard ( outside inn ): I shouldn't have taken my eyes off 
that kid! Who'd have thought he would run right into the 
monster's nest! Damn! 
Ryudo: What kind of mentally-deficient brat would run off 
like that? Agh! Now I guess we have to go look for him.  

Guard ( Wandering in Front of Inn ): Dammit! I should not 
have taken my eyes off the barricade! Now look what has 
happened. Vyx was depending on me, but I let him down. I 
guess I will just have to go rescue him. 
Millenia: I think you've done enough! You help that kid any 
more and he'll end up dead, just get out of our way. 
Ryudo: Hey, hey! This ain't no walk in the park we are 
going on, you know! 

Guard ( Barricade ): I am sorry mister Geohound. The kid 
ran into the cave, I only turned my back for a second. 
Ryudo: Yeah, looks that way, eh? This little brat is 
nothing but trouble. I can already tell. 
Skye: Ryudo, you were going to hunt down those monsters 
anyway, right? So what is the difference? 
Ryudo: Did you take a double dose of stupid pills today? I 
don't need some damn kid slowing me down. 

Guard ( Behind Tent ): I was careless. I didn't think 
anyone would dare go out on such a creepy, moonlit night. I 
take my eyes off the barricade for one second, and that 
brat runs right into the cave. What was he thinking!!?
Ryudo: He wasn't thinking. He's a kid, thinking isn't 
something kids know how to do. Reminds me of some women in 
my life. 

---------------------------------
Agear, After Roan Joins the Group
---------------------------------

Guard ( Outside Inn ): Being a geohound, you must know 
about the dirty sand monsters of the baked plains, right? 
Ryudo: Yeah, I plan to steer clear of those psychos. 
Elena: Ryudo, just who are these sand monsters? 
Ryudo: They're sandmen. They live in baked plains, they're 
not exactly something we want to run into. 

Guard: I see now why Vyx thinks so highly of you in spite 
of your youth. Thank you for your help!
Ryudo: No need to thank us. 
Roan: But its okay if I thank you for helping me get my 
medal back, right? Gee, Mister Ryudo, You're the greatest!!
Ryudo: Shut it kid. Or ill shove you back into that cave. 

Guard: You Geohounds sure are amazing. I see why Vyx spoke 
so highly of you. I hope now everyone will return to town. 
Anyhow, you have my gratitude. 
Roan: Mister Ryudo helped me get my medal back. Thank you 
Ryudo!! You are the greatest!!
Ryudo: Save your thanks, I just did what I did to keep 
everything moving. 

Guard ( In front of old Gate ): Are you leaving mister. 
Well the road is clear thanks to you. Our hero!
Ryudo: Hero implies working for free. So trust me, I am no 
hero. Just a garden variety Geohound. 
Guard: I see. Well, listen up. Ahead is the baked plains. 
Beyond that, the scar of the earth, the granacliffs. 
That fabled gorge is said to be the bottomless pit. So step 
carefully. Ha! 

Woman: Take this as a token of my appreciation for slaying 
the monsters 
Ryudo: What the hell is this? Is it edible? 
Woman: No! You cant eat that nut. It's a Poff Nut. It 
attracts an animal called a Carro. When you give a Carro a 
Poff nut, it becomes playful and acts really cute. 
Ryudo: Great, last time I heard that, I found myself stuck 
with Skye. If you really want me to have it, thanks. 


------------------------------------------------------
Liligue Town When You Arrive And The Gate is Unlocked 
------------------------------------------------------

-Please note: This town is very, very large. To make my 
life easier I am only doing the specific houses in which 
you will find people. Thank you.

House One: Man: Not Arum Root Again!! I cant stand this 
stuff anymore! 
Ryudo: If its that bad, why do you even bother to stick 
around. Get the hell of out of here if you're so unhappy. 
Man: Are you nuts. We're making money hand over fist. I'm 
not leaving because of some bad food. 

House Two: Man: We are getting weaker and weaker with every 
passing day from eating that arum root. It is even harder 
on the elderly and the kids. I thought if I developed some 
sort of tranquilizer to numb the hunger. But I couldn't 
come up with anything. 
Roan: Oh, I see. Well, there is sure a lot of Sarbia nuts 
here. I believe your preparation method is rather odd. 

House Three: Woman: How did it come to this? I thought 
things would start looking up when Gadan became the skyway 
manager. 
Ryudo: Call me crazy, but have you considered leaving? I 
know it may sound radical and all, but at least you could 
eat again. 
Woman: Ive been thinking of leaving, but my husband cant 
practice his skills anywhere else, it would be asking too 
much of him. 

House Four: Empty. 



----------------------------------------
Liligue Town After You Defeat the Tongue
----------------------------------------

House One: Man: Its no good that the food is no good, but 
what's really bad is not caring about bad stuff, that's 
worse than the bad food. 
Ryudo: Huh? You want to run this past me one more time 
there nutball? 
Roan: I believe he recognized that the real problem is not 
about bad tasting food, right? 
Man: Right! That's it! Oh man, I sure blew it, going to 
work without eating. 

House Two: Man: Suddenly, people have been getting sick 
after eating various foods. Everyone needs medicine, so I'm 
really busy. 
Elena: Harrumph? Still? You seem to be rather happy about 
it. 
Man: I don't know why, of course, but their illness has 
been cured. I'm very happy about it. 

House Three: Woman: It's been a long time since I've made 
home cooking. My husband, he'll have one bite of it, then 
he'll suddenly look downward. 
Ryudo: What, does he get sick to his stomach or something?
Woman: No, no. While he's still looking downward, he'll 
just quickly say "delicious." That makes me so happy. 

House Four: Empty.
