CHAPTER 1: AWAKENING Walkthrough Note: Unlike the other in-depth walkthroughs that are based on the compass, mine is not. Mine is based on the default compass direction where you get a behind and slightly above character view. 1a: Ryu As the games starts you will see Cray Chief of the Worent Village, and Nina Princess of Wyndia. They are on their Sand Flier in search of Nina's lost sister Elina. Suddenly they here the rumblings of a Dragon. The Dragon attacks the Sandflier that Cray and Nina were aboard. They fall off the Sandflier, Nina suggests going to a nearby town to find parts that will help repair the Sand Flier. Cray gives Nina the King's Sword just incase she runs into a monster on her way to the near by town. Just walk away from Cray and you will end up on the world map. Walk across the dotted line and a huge hard to miss exclamation point will appear, enter here. When you enter you will see a huge crater, a merchant fell in the hole and he finds his way out. Suddenly Nina will see what appears to be a shadow of a dragon she can't make it out; the shadow will watch her and quickly leave. Then a naked young man will appear. Nina will be startled by the man's nakedness, so she tells the naked man to put on clothing. He does, this is Ryu the main character in all the Breath of Fire's. Ryu tells Nina that he is lost and doesn't remember how he got there or how he got naked either. After Ryu put on the clothing she will give Ryu the King's Sword which he can use just incase they run into monsters. So just leave this place by following the trail there aren't any forks here. You will be back on the world map, before you enter the next town look for a question mark to appear over Ryu's head. If you see one this means there is a treasure near by, but in there areas there are monsters too. The monsters make getting to that treasure a tad harder than it should be. Well the main reason you are here is because of the monsters you want to get in many as random battles as possible, until it's hard to level up. Level 5 for Ryu and Level 6 for Nina is good for now. When you feel as though you have enough Zenny and exp. please leave this place and head for a place called Cliff. When you enter go right down the small slopes then when you hit the wall go left. Then go left then follow the path. You will come upon "the end of the road". Nina will inform you that you can jump over the small ledge here. She will tell you how, it's pretty simple you can do it by just walking near a ledge and pressing X. Then there will be another one, Ryu will make it but Nina will not. Ryu will think Nina plunged to her death so he will jump down after her. Nina was saved because she has wings, which allow her to levitate. Ryu unfortunately doesn't have wings so he falls on his face. Ryu will be ok, the sky will get dark and Nina will suggest they find some where to spend the night instead of waiting. Just head left and you will find a cave. The screen will shift to the inside of the cave and Nina has told Ryu her story and her dilemma about the ship parts. ***************************************************************************** 1b: Fou-Lu After that the screen will shift to a new place. A man named Fou-Lu and a cat like creature will be standing on top of a tower. The man will ask the lion to watch the tomb until he returns the lion obeys. After this just run down the stairs. I will tell you something very important, as the Fou-Lu character Ryu and Fou-Lu share things. They share abilities that you learn from Master's or from examining. However they do not share items Zenny or equipment. So if you think you can cheat by pooling Fou-Lu's armor, then well you got another thing coming. Also try not to take any treasure chest as Fou- lu because you really don't need them. Once you can control Fou-Lu go down the stairs and exit out the screen then you will be in a forest. Then make a left then up a small incline then jump across. Now go right, keep right then go down. Keep walking down and you will see two guards. They are there because they heard about a death bring dragon being awaken. Fou-Lu then questions the guards and asks if their were going to kill this dragon. Then Fou-Lu summons his dragon he destroys the entire area. Now when you can control Fou-Lu again go south past the crater and then go to the right and you will be on the world map. Note: You can not set up camp as Fou-Lu. Anyway make a left, and you will be at a forest. When you get in the forest just follow the path up and you will see a shadow figure. This man wants to stop Fou Lu! ############################################################################# # Boss Fight I Kham Front Line Party: Fou-Lu Back Line: N/A Difficulty: Easy Dragon Gene: Astral Item: Ambrosia This fight is cake. Even though Kham and Fou-Lu's properties offset one another Fou-Lu can still beat win this battle rather easily. As soon as you can get a turn, meditate into the Astral Dragon. Keep using Eraser on Kham, if his attacks are lowering Fou Lu's Astral Dragon's HP too low, just bash it with normal attack. The main form of attack for Kham is Flaming Fist, luckily Flaming Fist misses 90% of the time so you won't have to worry about it. In no time you should be finished with this battle. ############################################################################# # After the fight Fou-Lu will get away. The man will tell some soldiers to burn the forest down with flaming arrows. The forest section is strait forward and it doesn't have any forks (or spoons either ;). Soon you will come upon a bridge once you do Q-Bert will appear. Actually this man is named Yohm and he is one of the generals of the Fou-Lu Imperial Army, he burns the bridge and Fou-Lu falling about 200 feet. He commands his men to search for the body. ***************************************************************************** 1c: Sarai and Sandflier Valley When you enter Sarai Town, Nina will ask if you will be ok. You will get three choices pick the first two and she will leave pick the third and she will stay. Might as well pick the third choice because it really doesn't make a difference anyway. Well whatever you decided, it's time to explore the town. There is a weapon shop and a house or two to explore. The weapon shop is outside and you should be able to buy new things for both characters. When you are through go to west part of town and you will see a building with an ostrich in front enter here. When you enter go down the stairs and speak to the green Manillo, he will want to sell you a "treasure" for 158 Zenny. Buy it from him, it's a lead ball the first of many treasures you will be able to buy from people. Now proceed to the man eating by the bar counter. The man knows about the Sandflier Parts but he wants to be happy, with food and drink and this will lead to the first of many mini games. ####################### Mini Game I Happy Old Man There are four types of food and drink you can use on the old man. Wine and Steak gets the old man real happy and real quick. Don't stuff him with one food or drink or he will either be too drunk or too full. One steak, One Wine strategy in my opinion works the best so do that. If you feed the old man all steak and wine you will receive a Panacea, feed him cheap food you will receive a couple of antidotes. ####################### The old man will tell you there is an Information Specialist outside of the Inn. Now if you picked the first two options Nina will be outside the Tavern with a Monkey Man. The Monkey Man, says he knows where they can find Sandflier parts. Tell Nina you don't trust him, then go near the entrance to find the man outside of the Inn. The man will be there but like everything else in this town you will have to pay for it. ####################### Mine Game II Pay for the Info The object here is simple you get 4 chances to match a price he is willing to pay to get you Sandflier Parts. Now the trick to it is you have to pay the right price you don't want to be cheated, by paying an enormous price like 200 Zenny for the same info you would get cheaper. The price is 130 Zenny, if you pay it he will tell you that there is a black market. He will also tell you, that you need a password to get into the black market. Most Merchants know the password and one has just left town. ####################### Now leave town and follow the dotted line until you reach the first ? place. Enter there when you make it there follow the path until you reach a fork, make a left and you will be back on the world map. A new dotted line will appear with a fish as the mark. You will be at a fishing hole, if you have bought a Fishing pole and some lure in Sarai you can fish if you were absent minded like me and figured "I'm in the freakin' desert there is no water around!", then you can't fish yet. You could just go back to Sarai and buy the fishing pole and the lure. The game provides a _VERY_ detailed explanation on fishing so you don't need my help here. When you are done fishing exit the fishing hole. Now leave and look for another ? place. Enter there and follow the path until you reach a small oasis, a merchant and an ostrich will be here. Just speak to the merchant and he will give you the password. Now leave this place and head back to Sarai. Just go strait to the Tavern, and go behind the counter you will tell the bar tender the password automatically and he will allow you access to the door behind the bar. There will be a few men in there, they will inform you it is illegal for them to sell Sandflier parts. Don't give up hope they say if you go to a place called Sandflier Valley then you can get Sandflier parts, you just have to bring them back to him and he will refurbish them. Proceed out of Sarai and you will get a new dotted path, which will lead you to Sandflier Valley. Once you get to Sandflier Valley go strait and you will come upon a broken sandflier. Turn the wheel to the left once, and then the path will be open to you. Head back down and make a right. Now through the broken sandflier go down a board and through another hole in the sandflier. Now keep going and enter the hole of another sandflier, go up the steps and then climb the ladder to be on the main part of it. Get the treasure and climb back down the ladder. Now go the machine next to the stairs turn it on and a small elevator will come down from the top of the flier. Get on it and it will take you up on the sand. Now just go strait and go into the building. Now once inside you will see an old man and a dog, speak to the man and he will tell you that you can dig up some good sandflier parts here. ####################### Mini Game III Dig for the Parts You get a shovel and a dog. The object is to dig where the dog sniffs the dog is very accurate so where he barks there is something there. The dog and a shovel costs 50 Zenny, the Shovel is just 25 Zenny. Take the dog and the shovel out first he will bark at 3 spaces remember them or lick the screen whatever you have to do. There are plenty of items to be dug up here and not just the ship parts, if you care about metal scraps Glass shards, and a Sage Staff then keep digging. 3 Not hitting digs and the shovel will break, if you hit an item or the parts then that's like 2 hits because the shovel will break quicker. You can get 2 hits in one turn, if you're lucky enough. If you just want the ship parts dig around the middle of the screen. ####################### Now proceed out of the Valley once on the world map set up camp somewhere and Rest and Save since you haven't done it in a while, now go back inside of Sarai. Proceed back to the Tavern when you do you will see an Imperial Soldier, he is roughing up the BarTender. He is also questioning him on what happened to the crater a few miles back. The bar tender knows nothing and the man hits him with magic. The Imperial Soldier was looking for a dragon in the area. Nina shows up and he realizes she is a Wyndian Princess. So he sends a creation after Nina... ############################################################################# # Boss Fight II Joh Front Line Party: Nina Back Line Party: N/A Difficulty: Easy Dragon Gene: N/A Item: Aurum Joh isn't that difficult of a fight considering you should be at full health and the game realizes you only have Nina. Now, he mainly uses normal attacks, a burn spell and Flail. The burn spell doesn't do much damage the flail misses a lot and normal attacks aren't that powerful as well. Just keep using Sever on it. Nina should heal if her Hp's drop to a low level. After a few Severs Joh will go down. ############################################################################# # After the fight Ryu will finally show up. The Imperial Solider will make a joke about how he wasn't around to protect the princess. Ryu will take offense and smack him with the sword, Ryu and Nina will then leave town. You will be on the world map go back towards cliff and a huge !! will appear. You have no choice but to go in. You will then see a bunch of soldiers but Ryu and Nina will be hiding behind a bunch of rocks. When you can control them leave from behind the rocks the merchant from earlier will spot you and inform you that the soldiers have cut off the pass. He tells you another route around their blockade. ***************************************************************************** 1d: Hexland When you are back on the world map you will see a route leading to a new place. Follow it there is a town called Chamba there. When you enter you will realize this town is smaller than you heard, but Nina and Ryu will think someone can help them. Look around town there is a weapon shop here with a Manillo in it buy some curative items here because you will need them. This town also has a free Inn so I suggest making use of that in the future. Go to the upper right point of the town and you will find two men up there speak to the man sitting down. The old man will tell you why Chamba is smaller than it use to be. According to him there was a hex on the town, and when a place is Hex it's unlivable. After he says that a group of people will enter the town, the old man explains that these people are called purifiers. They go around the eastern continent in armor and they help get rid of hexes in the area. Now go down the stairs and go to the left a man will be inside, speak to him chose to wait with him twice. You will find out that this man is named Tab. After you wait with them, Nina will explain the situation and she will want to know if there is anyway around Chamba. Tab will tell you that you will need to wear an armor to get through the area, or you can wait a year for the Hex to be cleared. Naturally, Nina doesn't want to wait so Tab suggested that you should ask one of the men to guide you through the area. Go around town and speak to everyone check back to his house and when Tab is waiting outside of the house it is ok to talk to him again. He will not help you or give you any armor either so it seems just about hopeless. The screen will shift for something waddling towards the gate, suddenly it will open and give everyone a scare. It was only a thing calling itself Ershin, Ershin is the leader of the purifiers. Ershin will want to assist you through the Hex. Ershin will join the party and when you are ready go through the gate that Ershin came in through. Now this place is tricky to navigate through and to explain. First go strait then make a left when you get on the first roof. When you do that make your way across a bridge that goes strait. Now climb up a ladder to get on top of a roof. Now go on to the roof right next to it go down a ramp and you will be at a fork. Go right until it takes you north. Keep going north, now go up another roof and make a right. Then go across the bridge and you will be in the next area. In the next place make a left, now Ershin will tell that she has been informed that you are to break up at this point. You can switch between Ershin, and Nina and Ryu by pressing select. Press select and control Ershin first have Ershin go down the near by ladder, then switch the party to Nina and Ryu. Now go strait and you will jump to another roof. Stand on the crate and it will go down. Press select and switch back to Ershin. Go underneath the crate and then go left, nearby will be a ladder going up to a roof. Now press select to switch back to Ryu and Nina, now you can get off the crate. When you do go right and you will reach a Valve, Ershin will say she will need to locate the other valve. Now you will be Ershin climb down the ladder and go up then make a right, and you will be where the other Valve is, press X by Valve. Ryu and Ershin will have to switch it at the same time they will automatically do so, once this is done the mist in the area will be reduced and you will be in a new area, and the party will be back together. Once you have control go left, then go across the bridge, Nina says she heard of felt something, Ershin says it's just the hex. Now you go and cure everyone make sure you can cure as much as possible. Now continue across the bridge, eventually you will see the thing in the hex. Ershin and Nina will run across a rather weak bridge, keep mashing X to run across the bridge that is falling apart. Now it's go time! ############################################################################# # Boss Fight III Skull Fish Front Line Party: Nina, Ryu, Ershin Back Line Party: N/A Difficulty: Intermediate Dragon Gene: Not Needed Item: Antidote Keep Ershin as the third character because she is slower than Ryu and Nina is, you should have Ershin mainly throwing curative items you bought in town. Skull Fish will use a poison attack plus it can confuse you. Ryu should have learned Burn from the Eye Goo and Nina already has Sever. So you should combine the two to make Firewind, that is the quickest way to defeat this thing. Also if there are no desperate energy needs have Ershin through in an attack. ############################################################################# # After the fight go down a ladder then go down another ladder and you will be outside of the town. Ershin says that Ershin wants to go wherever Ryu goes, and she will remain a member of your party. Now you will be back on the world map, plus you can make it back to the crash site. Cray miraculously is still waiting! Wow, Nina informs Cray that she was unable to obtain the ship parts, but Cray, is just happy that she is safe. Nina introduces Ryu and Ershin to Cray, and he says they should rest for the night. ***************************************************************************** 1e: Just a Dream and the Mudpit Abruptly, you will find your self in a weird place and Ryu Nina and Cray will be together. Nina will mention something about a dream, and you get control of the characters. When you do to your left or so should be a diary you should rest and save before continuing on. Also to be noted their are some pretty powerful but beatable monsters in the area. I suggest you take advantage of the diary and get in to some random battles to vastly improve your levels. When you are ready to go about your way head strait then go to the left. Keep following along the path going left and you will make your way to a set of stairs. Now when you go up the stairs go strait then make a right and then go through the door there. Walk forward and Cray will notice two men inside the room. The two men will be discussing something, and Cray will mention that if you walk behind the curtain you can avoid these men. Now walk behind the curtain and when you try to walk through the door, everything will turn white and you will be back at the desert camp. Apparently Nina and Cray shared the same dream, Ershin explains that it was Ryu's dream and those who have the dragon eye can see images that may be the future. Now you will automatically leave this place. You will be back on the world map and you will see a new path leading to a place called Kurok. Kurok is pretty strait forward and their aren't any forks here really so getting through here should be pretty easy. You shouldn't be able to miss the first master of the game he is Rwolf a Wolf man who is next to an ostrich. He can teach you some things (to learn about his stats refer to my Master's Guide). You should use Nina with him, and if you already did the 5 hit combo then you should be on your way with the first spell. If you haven't done it yet then you can easily do it here on the valley when fighting some of the groups of monsters here. When you learn the spell give it to Cray. When you are done with the master then leave the alley by going to the path on your right. Once you are back on the world map I suggest pitching a tent and setting up camp. Unless you didn't get into any fights in Kurok Valley. Either way continue along the path on the world map until you reach the Dam. When you enter it will look pretty deserted but someone will come along and tell you the deal. According to him a dragon has been acting up in the area and many of the workers have ran off in fear because the dam might break. Now, when you gain control of the party again, climb down the ladder. Then go to the right then you will find another ladder so climb down that one as well. Then go to the right you should see the orange marker so climb down another ladder to reach the insider of the dam. Now just go left and you will leave the inside. Now go down the stairs on the left and go to the right. You will see a man who looks mysteriously like Fahl the Bartender from BOF3. Now go down the ladder to the left of him. Now walk on the path of planks you can walk on the mud but it slows down your progress so you can't run on it. Just follow the wooden path and speak to the man inside the overhanging. He tells you to get to the other side you will have to close the Sluice. You will need a Sluice key a kid named Rhoppe has it. Rhoppe is the guy to the southwest in the mud who has an inner tube. Speak to him and he will give you the key to the Sluice. Now that you have the key head back up the stairs and inside the dam. You will see a steel gate that use to say authorized personnel only you might have notice it and that you couldn't enter it before, but now with the key you can open it. Just pull the lever on the machine and sluice will close. Now go outside and go up the ladder then go up the ladder on the left of there. There will be a treasure there so get it and then, go back down the ladder then another ladder then go across the plank on the right. Enter the room and open the gate. Now pull the lever like you did previously and the machine will not work. Now a woman will show up she will tell you that the machine isn't working that well, this will start a mini game! (You haven't had one in a while...) ####################### Mini game IV Spinnin' The woman will tell you the idea is for Ryu to turn the wheel really fast and someone next to the lever will pull it in order for it to work. To turn the wheel you will have to rotate the directional pad clockwise. I'm not 100% certain that you can use the dual shock pad. But if you can it would be better than the normal buttons. Anyway keep rotating it until Ryu's starts to sweat and you hear a squeal from the wheel. Now press O quickly. If everything went right you should have the plank lifted ######################## Now climb up the ladder and go to the left, then go up a ladder than make a right. Now go across the plank and keep right and go up the ladder that is right next to the plank area. Keep going right and then enter the door and you will be back inside the Dam. Go strait through this underground area and you will be back outside, in the muddy area. Head across the path and you will reach a ladder climb down the ladder and pull the lever once you get there. Now go back to the man inside the overhanging you will give him the key back. He will now tell Rhoppe to close the Sluice's again. He will then help you get out of there. Suddenly a man will ring a bell loudly and annoyingly, he will say the Dam has broken and you will need to clear out of the area. The man will give you the lever and tell you to operate it yourself because he has to get out of there. Now go over to the machine. Examine the box and Ryu will use the lever. It will not work at first Nina suggest messing with it some more. Keep mashing X and you will get out of there with a moment to spare. You will see that everyone got out safely and Rhoppe is having a blast drifting away in the inner tube. You will now be back on the world map. Once you are on the world map head for the new path that should have just opened up. A huge ! will stop you on your way, and you will be at a beautiful sandy area. A huge dragon will be right on shore, then an old rat lady will appear, she will tell you some info about the dragons. She will offer to "sing the song of the dragons". You can cough up 10 Zenny or 100, I figured don't waste time just give her 100 Zenny. Then you will be able to leave this area. ***************************************************************************** 1f. Trap City and The Trap Woods Writer's Rant: I hate go through this town and this forest, it was boring difficult and an overall pain in the ass. Now, I have to write about this place...ughhh in my opinion this place is worst than the desert in BOF3. Anyway when you leave the Woman you will be in a town called Kyria. An orange Manillo near the entrance will warn you that the town is riddled with traps. Anything that looks funny in this town don't go near it, although the traps are explained by the people near them so in a way it gives you a small foreshadow as to what will happen when you enter the forest. Enter the first house you see speak to the people inside and they will tell you more about why the town is riddled with traps. Now leave the house, (this house also doubles as a free Inn) and purposely step on the trap that you see. No point going into the next house, and then go across the bridge there is a trap on the bridge ignore it if you can. Now speak to the two men next to the bridge. Talk to the man on the right 5 times and you will get an item. Now go past these two guys and go to the lefts you will find a hole behind a kid drop through the hole make your way through the underground area. You will find your self in a house (If it's a shack full of barrels your in the wrong house. If you see a couple of parrots your in the right house. Speak to the parrot near the cabinet, and he will try to trick you. Answer the opposite of you would normally answer if your slightly slow. Then the answers are: We really have no time for this..., No, No, Not really. Then ask the parrot for information regarding the mayor. The parrot will tell you the mayor has left and he is in the forest. Which is your next stop. There are a few more things to do in the town that are trap related but the most important thing is the guy who is using the puppet. You might have met him in Sarai he tells you a few more advanced things about the game. Now go to the Manillo by the entrance of the town and he is selling items, don't get anything curative at this point because you don't need it, and go back on the world map. Proceed to the Woods. Now continue along the path until you reach a man standing in your path he will tell you that the mayor is either lost in the forest captured by the boar or captured in his own trap. You will tell them you need to find the mayor. The man will give you an apple, but you can get more apples using Ershin. Put Ershin in front of the party and have her headbutt the tree 99 times, and you will get 99 apples. This is a cheap way to gain apples and to have HP. Now go behind the man and out of this screen. Now you can fall into the holes here and get the treasures. But I just want you to get out of here with as little trouble as possible. Go strait until you reach a well then make a right and you will find a stump press X near it and place an apple on the stump. The boar will come out of the forest sniff out the apple, eat it and run away you have to follow the tracks of the boar. It's pretty simple, just make sure not to get trapped while following the boars tracks. Their are traps all over the place and some of these traps are harder to spot than others. You will eventually come to a clearing in the tree's there is an Earth ward there get it. Now make your way back to the entrance of this place and you will find a stump. Place an apple on the stump and watch the boar do the same thing he did last time, but this time keep following him it's harder to follow these traps because you may go astray because of the other tracks are still their. If you see some tracks that lead out of the place follow those both if they go away keep a mental note and you can still get out of this place. Now you will be by a waterfall, follow the path here until you get into the next area there aren't any forks or side paths here unless you count the one that leads to the treasure eventually you will be on another path. The mayor will be there, the boar from earlier is also there but the mayor has set a trap for this boar. The boar runs off, then a Huge boar drops from the sky. The big boar looks pretty ticked off that you messed with one of it's kindred. ############################################################################# # Boss Fight IV Maman Front Line Party: Ryu, Nina, Cray Back Line Party: Ershin Difficulty: Intermediate Dragon Gene: Aura Item(s): Apple and Flame Punch If you get the first turn, change Ryu into the Aura form. Now Nina should cast Cyclone if she has it, and have Cray cast Eddy if you got the 5 hit combo and gave it to him. Now for the rest of the fight have Ryu and Nina do the combo of Hwa Cyclone to make Simoon which does a decent chunk of damage to Maman. Have Cray either attack physically or through apples to those who are needed (Not Ryu if he is a Dragon at the time). Maman does 3 attacks the first is it's usual physical attack which is pretty damaging. The second another physical attack Body Press which may stun the character they do it on if he happens to Catch Nina with it and stuns her have Ryu and Cray do a Firewind on him with Burn and Eddy. It also does a Rock Blast attack that isn't very damaging but everyone might need an apple afterward to maintain a high HP level. As long as you can keep Ryu as a Dragon and Nina not stunned you should have a problem. If you decided on not using Ershin for the back row then Ershin should be using his normal attack on it, and curing. ############################################################################# Now you will be out of the woods and back on the world map. Proceed back to Kyria. When you do head to the Mayor's house the normal way. The mayor will tell you that this town was used as a war camp and that is has a passage to Synesta in it. The mayor will allow you passage to Synesta in the morning. Then the screen will shift to the second Fou-Lu sequence. The Imperial Army did basically not find Fou-Lu, and a man named Bunyan who lived in the Zhinga Mountains has. If you were a fan of BOF3 you will recognize his name right away he went from a woodsman to a mountain man. He has helped Fou-Lu get back to better health. Now the morning will arrive and you will be back in the town with Ryu and friends. You will be outside of the Mayor's house, Cray will not be looking and he will fall through the hole. Find your way back at out and you will be control of the main party. Now make your way back out the first house Rest and Save and your ready to go. ***************************************************************************** 1g: Making it to and out of Synesta Make your way up the hill path and enter the door of the cave. Once inside go strait and then make a right and follow the small pool of water. Jump over the ledge and exit the screen. Now, in the next area go to the right and eventually you will come upon a fork, when you do go down and head into the next area. Now you can walk across the water here it is shallow enough and then you can go up the stairs, now you will be in another area. The next part is strait forward follow the path until you find a ladder that will take you out of this place altogether. Now you will be in Synesta no one will look at you funny because you came out of the well either. When you are able to control your party go to the right and you will be inside the orphanage inside the orphanage the woman running it will tell you she will have to feed the children there before she can give you any advice or assistance. Speak to the children there and they will tell you one of the children there is missing. Now leave the orphanage and you will see a woman chasing a boy she will fall down at the end of the sequence. Now go to the left and you will see an archway. Go past this and go to the right and you will see a flight of steps proceed up the flight of stairs and you will be on the upper part of town go and speak to the fallen woman. She will explain that she must catch Chino the kid who isn't in the orphanage. Approach Chino and he will run away... ######################## Mini Game V Catchin' Chino To catch Chino you have to get close enough to him to speak to him. If Chino sees you coming he will run in the opposite direction, so to catch him you have to sneak around somewhere and cut him off. The difficulty of this mini game is the fact that this town is very maze like even more than Sarai was and it's hard to find him when he runs off the screen. The bird's eye view happens to help a lot so it won't be as difficult as you would think. The best way to catch him is to stay on the upper area of the town and try to see if you can stop him. Try not to directly go after him try to find an alternate route and sneak up behind him to get him. ######################## After catching him he will reluctantly go back to the orphanage now it's time for you to go back to the orphanage. Now go back to the orphanage the woman there named Lyta will speak with you. She will inform you that Elina was there and she came bringing gift's and clothing. But where she went Lyta doesn't know. Now Chino will come in and say that he knows where Elina went but you will have to play hide and seek with him and the kids in the orphanage. If you played Hide and Seek in BOF3 it's exactly like that but more fun. ######################## Mini Game VI Hide and Seek There are seven kids throughout town you must find. You have to just find them and speak to them and they will go back to the orphanage to know how many you caught go back to the orphanage, count how many you got and there you have it. One of them is already there just talk to the kid the kid claims it wasn't playing. Another kid is in the orphanage as well speak to him and he will give you the location of Rudd. Rudd is near the entrance of town to get there go to the archway ignore the upstairs and then keep going right you will see a set of stairs and Rudd will be standing on them. Rudd will tell you where Modo is hiding. To find Modo go to the upper section of the town find the bridge that connects the upper section and you will see Modo. Modo will give you some odd directions on finding Konoko. These directions are false. To find Konoko go to the upstairs section of the Inn. On your way to find Rudd you might have found another kid if you didn't this kid is right in the arch, he will also tell you where to find Goete. Goete is on the western side of town. ######################## Now return to the orphanage, there is still one missing kid (well it's 8 if you count the kid who claimed it wasn't playing). Modo will tell you that Chino went hiding where no one would go. Lyta is afraid that it went inside the Cellar, and then you will see where the cellar is. Now proceed to this area you should know your where there from Chino chasing. When you do the guard will claim that it is impossible for anyone to have slipped passed him while he wasn't looking, he will then get thirsty. Stand in the corner and eventually a woman holding water will show up he will walk off his post and buy some water from the woman. Now walk down the steps while the man is going to buy his water. Continue down the stairs and you will be in the next area. In the new area go into the hole. Enter the first room you see and search the shelf for an item. Forget the next room and just go strait, and you will be in another area. In this area head down the stairs and you will be another area. Now you will be in another room check the shelf that you see then go strait and you will be in another room. Now go up the set of stairs search the shelf for an item and then go then make a right. Now keep going along the path then down a flight of stairs. When you are in this place you will see Chino in a cell but he has a barrel blocking the door. Now go into the next cell and get the treasure there. Now leave the cell and go into the next room. Now head up the stairs and you will be inside another room with two cells. Step on the wooden plank and you will through and be in the cell with Chino. Speak to Chino and you will be back in the orphanage. Chino will tell you where you can find Elina now. According to Chino when Elina left the village he seen her go up to the gate some strange people spoke to her and left with her. He will also tell you that a shop owner named Marlok was one of the men. Marlok's shop is the house near the middle of town guarded by the big man. Now before continuing since you made a lot of progress I advise you to rest and save. Now go speak to the man who is guarding Marlok's house you will have to fight this man! ############################################################################# Boss Fight V Kahn Front Line Party: Ryu, Nina, Cray Back Line Party: Ershin Difficulty: Easy Dragon Gene: Aura Item: Ginseng Kahn isn't as tough as he may look. The easiest way to bring him down is with Simoon or Eruption. To keep things easier when the battle starts have Ryu turn into the Aura Dragon. Now have him alternate between using Hwa + Cyclone for Simoon and Rock Blast + Burn for Eruption. I suggest you do it in this order Cray Ryu Nina. Because Ryu can't get stunned as the dragon and if Cray or Nina get stunned then you will either cast eruption or you will cast Simoon. Kahn has 2 forms of attacks he can focus, which will increase his next attack. Or he can use Shout, which may stun people. He really can't hurt you unless he catches Nina after focusing. If you decided on using Ershin have her healing and normal attacking. ############################################################################# When Kahn is defeated Marlok will be waiting outside of his house. He will invite you inside of the house. He tells you that Elina was taken west into Enemy Territory. He may be able to take you out to the west but you will have to do some work for him, he wants you to locate a man who stole some of his goods. He also says Nina has to stay with him to do some work around the house. Now leave from there and speak to a man near the entrance of the town. When you do he will inform you that he seen a man with a huge bag leave town. ***************************************************************************** 1h: Bandit's Hideout and Sandflier Warf When you get on the world map a new route will be there. Before going to the new place go along the dots until you reach a ? Area. Enter inside, go strait and you will find a man next to a small pond. Speak to him, and Cray will talk about the thief who robbed Marlok. The man will run off. Now you have to go and get the man you will automatically be in Bandit's Hideout. Now go inside the crack in the wall and approach the man he will run off and this will start another mini game! ######################## Mini Game VII Catchin' the Thief This mini game is exactly like Catchin' Chino Mini game. The object is the same you have to catch him by getting close enough to speak to the man. But the thief is way faster than Chino so you won't be able to chase him down, plus this place isn't as complexes as Synesta so it will be more difficult to use a sneak technique. This is how you catch him, you have to locate two barrels, on the left side of the cave near the entrance. Use Cray to push the barrels to block off the path now chase the thief there, he will turn around and when he does you should be able to catch him if you don't then try again. ######################## After catching the man, he will tell you that these are his goods, and Marlok stole them from him and he stole his things back. When you steal something back it isn't really stealing since it was yours in the first place. So Cray and the others decide that taking the man's good wouldn't be right. Now you will be outside the Bandit's Hideout, you can go back in and you will learn that his name is Stoll, and that he is one of the game's masters! To learn about Stoll please refer to the Master's Section of this guide. Now go back to Synesta Marlok will be very angry that you didn't get back his goods he sends you to the Sandflier's Warf to do some brawn work. Between Synesta and Sandflier's Warf is a question mark enter here, 90% of the time, you will be in what seems to be just deserts. But check out the sign there it says there is a fishing spot on the northeastern part of the area. Go to the northeastern part and you will be back on the world map. You will see a fishing spot near by, you can go there relax and fish if you chose to. When you are ready to continue the actual game go to Sandflier's Warf on the world map. When you get there go up the stairs and speak to the man next to the building he says they have a problem in the storage room that Marlok has instructed you to do. ######################## Mini Game VIII Striating out the storage room This job is not easy and it's not fun either. The idea is simple but to move some of the barrels and jars takes some trial and error if you want to get it right. Now, on one side of the room you have barrels on the other side of the room is for jars. You have to push barrels on the blue squares in front of the sign, you have to push jars on blue squares in front of the jar sign. Old barrels are supposed to be disposed of by using Ershin's headbutt action. The problem are when you are destroying an old barrel you will have to fight a monster. Nothing really powerful but it gets tedious after a while. ######################## When you are done with that job, the man will appear and give you another job to do. ######################## Mini Game IX Loading the Sandflier This job is easier and more fun than the previous job. The idea is simple, where you see Cray at there will be crates and to your left you will see a sandflier. You have to take a crate from where Cray is standing and place it on the sandflier. Aim for the dark blue spaces and you score big points, ignore the dark blue spaces and load 10 crates to get the job done quickly. But it is better if you go for the blue spaces. ######################## Now when you are done Nina and Marlok will show up, Marlok awarded me with a toothpick both times I went through the game. You might get better stuff if you do less or more. For doing what he has asked he will allow you to ride in the "Vip" room. The VIP room isn't exactly what you hoped for he has stuffed you inside of his crates. Everyone especially Cray will not like to be stuffed inside crates. After this you will get to see what's going on with Fou-Lu. ***************************************************************************** * 1i. Fou-lu in the Mountains After a sequence with Fou-Lu use the diary to Save. Now speak to Bunyan if you want to again and go down the mountains. The path going down the mountains is pretty strait forward, eventually Yohm will appear. Yohm will summon one of his creatures to take out Fou-Lu! ############################################################################# Boss Fight VI Khafu Front Line Party: Fou-Lu Back Line Party: None Difficulty: Easy Dragon Gene: Astral Item: Ambrosia As soon as the fight starts turn into the Astral Dragon. Khafu does some good attacks like Eldritch Flame. But that's a breath attack and his breath attack is like the dragon breaths because it's HP based. Khafu is flame based and this will damage the Astral Dragon. Use the Frost Strike and it will take off a hefty amount of damage on Khafu. Just keep up Frost Strike because after a couple Eldritch Flame's Fou-Lu's Breath won't do much damage. It also can heal itself but it doesn't heal enough to stop Frost Strike. ############################################################################# After the fight is over Fou-Lu will become the dragon and fly away, he will also mention trying to find the other half of Fou-Lu. Yomh will tell Khafu to destroy Fou-Lu. You will see a nice sequence of Khafu chasing Fou-Lu, Khafu will take down Fou-Lu after a few breath attacks. ***************************************************************************** * 1j: End of Chapter 1 Now you will be back in control of Ryu, you will be at another Warf. Now go strait and you will be in the town of Kyoin. Kyoin has a couple of shops here so stock up on a weapon upgrade and some more curatives items and be about your business. Now you will see a fairly large building and a guard the guard will have no problem with you going into the building so go inside, you will find out that this building is the causeway and it leads to the other side where the empire is. One inside goes through the doorway to the south and you will be in another area. Go up the flight of stairs and you will be in another area. Enter the doorway that is there and you will be back inside the Causeway. There will be a fork there so make a right, then go north then go up a flight of stairs. Now ignore the first room you go to unless you want an item and go into the second room inside you will be in a new area. Go along the path and then go up a flight of stairs. Go out the door and you will be outside the Causeway. There will be an elevator there the elevator can take you up or down. First cure all your members and go up. When you go up the gate will start to activate when you walk towards the game the Imperial Soldier from Sarai will be there! He will then call on another warrior spirit to fight! ############################################################################# Boss Fight VII Ymechaf Front Line Party: Ryu, Nina, Cray Back Line Party: Ershin Difficulty: Semi-Hard Dragon Gene: Aura Item: Ice Punch Ymechaf is probably the strongest opponent you fought thus far, many have problems with him but he will go down if you know what you are doing. First off have Ryu become the Aura Dragon. Then have Ershin come from the back row and attack and then have Cray attack. Now Ryu will start off so have him do Hwa, then have Nina do Cyclone and have Cray attack. After the Simoon combo the Ymechaf will become off balance so when Cray attacks he will do hefty damage. Ymechaf does one powerful attack called whirlwind this does some decent damage to the entire party so at a point you will have Cray doing a lot of curing, instead of attacking. If you run out of curative items have Nina do curing and have Cray and Ryu do a Rock Blast Hwa combo. If you decided on using Ershin in the front party, have her use her attack wild swing or cure. ############################################################################# After the battle you will find out that the Soldier name is Rasso. He will also be surprised that you defeated his Ymechaf, now your party will see that the Causeway is closing and in the nick of time they will run through the doorway. You will be in another causeway, take the elevator down then go inside then take the elevator the down. Then leave the causeway and you will be back on the world map. Now set up camp on the world map and rest and save your game so far. Once out of camp go to Astana, Once inside stock up on new weapons armors and items. You will notice the huge Carronnade, which was used for shooting hexes into Eastern towns and places during the war and the soldiers standing next to the carronade will tell you about the aqueduct that cools the carronade after it's fired. Now leave the town, and you will see a new path on the world map. Go there to get to the aqueduct. When you are in the aqueduct go to the strait then go to the left and you will find a ladder ascend it. Now make a right and you will find a man there and he will turn on the Gondola. After the right go across the plank and use Ryu's sword to slash break the rope and the drawbridge will be lowered. Now go to the right and jump across the way. Now go strait, then climb up a ladder. Then climb up the ladder that is right there, now make a right and say yes that you want to jump in the water. Now you will be in the place from Ryu's dream, everything here is exactly the same as it was before. Nina will mention about the dream, and you get control of the characters. When you do to your left or so should be a diary you should rest and save before continuing on. When you are ready to go about your way head strait then go to the left. Keep following along the path going left and you will make your way to a set of stairs. Now when you go up the stairs go strait then make a right and then go through the door there. Walk forward and Cray will notice two men inside the room. The two men will be discussing something, and Cray will mention that if you walk behind the curtain you can avoid these men. Now walk behind the curtain and when you do one of the men will notice you. Continue along the path and the man will be there waiting. Nina asks him about her sister Elina. He won't tell you anything he will call upon some of the Imperial Soldiers to haul you away. ============================================================================= CHAPTER 2: ENDLESS 2a: Back Home You will wake up in a hotel looking place. Nina will walk in and inform Ryu that Cray is being held and questioning. Nina wants to go see what's happening with Cray and wants to go to the castle. When you gain control of Ryu, use the diary to save, now leave this place. A strange robed dog man will be there, he is Scias he is suppose to watch you so you don't try to do anything out of the ordinary. He is a playable character and a decent and in my opinion better replacement of Cray. Now leave the place and head to the house next door, a Manillo will be in their selling goods. Buy some of whatever you need. Now go to the north and you will find the castle. Proceed inside and two guards will inform you that they are still questioning Chief Cray and that no one is to be allowed in until this is finished. Nina wants to go to the Worent where Cray and his people are. Now, leave town and when you get on the world map two paths will appear. One goes to Wynchwood, the other going to Shyde. You can get some fishing in right now if you choose, locate a ? Between a ? Place and Shyde. When you do enter there, find a sign there then go west, when you are back on the world map a new path will open up and you will be able to fish. When you are done with fishing go to Shyde. In Shyde you can speak to the Blue Manillo, to trade fish for items. But the main reason you are here is to trade your treasure. Go behind the Inn, and you will find a man there who will trade your treasure with you, you will now have the Bronze Ball. Now, there is a weapon and an item shop here, buy what you need and leave Shyde. Once you are back on the world map proceed to Wynchwood. When you enter go down then until you reach a fork. When you do go west continue west until it leads you up then it will lead you back west and onto a new area. When you are in the next area you will hear a strange sound, the party will sense that something is about to happen. Anyway go a few steps further. When you do, you will see Nina shrink to she is not visible, no one saw this so they do not know where she is at. A bird will go by unnoticed by the party and take Nina away, the party decided it would be best to try and find Nina. Just go strait some more and you will see 3 invisible characters they will be talking about how they shrunk Nina down. Ershin will spot the three faeries and so will Ryu. Ershin somehow can see them and Ryu can see them because of his Dragon Eye. The faeries will tell you that they shrunk Nina and a bird took Nina away mistaken her for one of it's own because of Nina's wings, they will mention that she will regain her size shortly. After the sequence you will be able to control the party again. Now, go to the left then jump across the space. Then jump across a near by space and receive a treasure. Now go back past the two spaces ad go down the decline. Now go down and to the west, now go up the incline and jump across a space. Use Ershin to the ram the tree where you see the bird. You will be switched to Nina, she will be wakening up and she will be inside the bird's nest. When you can control Nina head up the branch then run around the tree. Then jump down, run across the branch and the bird will show up. Nina will run away and a caterpillar will drop, the bird will still think she is one of her chicks, and will try to feed her a bug! ############################################################################# Boss Fight VIII Sparrow Front Line Party: Nina Back Line Party: N/A Difficulty: Very Easy Dragon Gene: N/A Item: Bird Drop or Bamboo Rod You can pelt the sparrow with two Cyclones and get away with some exp and a bird drop. Or you could guard for 10 rounds and the Sparrow will fly away. If you chose to allow the sparrow to fly away then you will get a bamboo rod. If you decide on killing it then you will not get the bamboo rod. The sparrow has one attack, which is feeding time, which can confuse you. Other than that it does nothing else. ############################################################################# After the bird is gone go back on the branch and you will see a vine leading down descend this vine. When you do you will see Ryu, Scias and Ershin again. Ershin will once again headbutt the tree, Nina will fall down but she will regain size in mid air and land right on top of Ryu. When you gain control of the party again go strait and you will be back on the world map. ***************************************************************************** * 2b: Worent Tribe and the Golden Plains There will be a new route on the world map, which will take you to Worent. I advise you to set up camp and save right now before continuing. Once inside Worent you will realize how the Worens are and learn some things about their courageous warriorness by speaking to them. There is a weapon shop in town which you should check out I think it might double as an item shop as well. When you are done speaking with the Worens and buying items go to the large house on the northeastern part of Worent. Inside 3 old Worens will be there, they can not help you but they can directly you to who can. They tell you to go and look for Tahrne the mother of Cray. Now it's time to go to the Golden Plains to find Tahrne. When you gain control of the party head right then you will down a ladder to find storage room inside is an item nab it. When you are finish leave the house, Kahn will jump down from the roof of the house, he claims he has been training and he wants his revenge for what happen to him back in Synesta! ############################################################################# Boss Fight IX Kahn 2 Front Line Party: Ryu, Nina, Scias Back Line Party: Ershin Difficulty: Easy Dragon Gene: Aura Item: Ginseng Like the other battles transform into an Aura Dragon immediately, then Nina should get her turn so use Cyclone on him and have Scias use Shining Blade. When Ryu can get his turn as a dragon use the Hwa-Cyclone Combination. Have Scias continuing using the Shining Blade until the battle is over or he runs out of AP. Now Kahn isn't any more difficult than he was in the last fight, but now he uses a new attack called Tiger's Fist, it may take an entire round to recover from this using healing spells. If you decided on using Ershin have her attack mostly. ############################################################################# Now, after the fight a female Woren will appear her name is Una she will be angry that you picked on Kahn. She will be inside her part of the house and be angry with Kahn. When you can control the party head back into the house and go up the ladder. Speak to Una and she will tell you that Kahn has left (that fast?!). Anyway she will decide to train you now, hopefully by this point you have gained 3000 combo points. Because if you did then give the Super Combo to Scias! With the Super Combo Scias becomes the third best character in the game! Oh and Pilfer should go to Ryu or Nina, although I transferred it to my scroll and gave it to Cray later on. Now go and speak to the elders again one will mention that you will need a horse to travel across the golden plains. Now leave from the Elder's House. Since you should have explored the town you will know that there is a man near some horses. Go and see him, he will be willing to give you a horse but no one will know how to ride a horse, he changes his mind because it takes a long time to learn how to ride. Then the floating snail thing will start making a circle around Ryu and chasing Ershin, Nina will acquire about that. The man will tell her that they are hard to ride but you are welcome to it. The man tells you that the Tahrne's camp is to the northeast and you can spot it by looking for the fire there. Speak to him again and he gets slightly more specific. He says go east until you find a big rock from their go north east you will see Tahrne's Camp fire continue in that direction until you get there. Now leave Worent and you will be back on the world map. Proceed to the Golden Plains, you will see Ryu trying to ride on the Whelk but will keep falling off, but he is their only hope eventually he will get the hang of it. BOF3 fans this will look familiar it's set up exactly like the desert but it's not as long and pointless as the desert was. When you get on the plains you will automatically be facing east. So just go strait. You will eventually come upon a large rock. (If you encounter 3 rocks you went the wrong way). When you find the large rock go northeast. To go northeast you will gave to make the red part of the needle face to the upper left. If you trail off the screen and land in an empty place you took the wrong direction. If you land in some sort of a shrine then you also took the wrong direction. If you see some smoke (NOT MOUNTAIN SMOKE!) Actual smoke on the screen then you are going in the right direction. You will eventually start to make out the camp. When you enter Ryu will tell Tahrne will happen to her son. Now, go inside the tent and rest. The screen will shift to Cray and what is happening with him. Cray is charged with breaking into the Empire, and on top of that breaking he King's Sword. The King's Sword is a symbol of the alliance between the East and the Empire. Now you will see the seen where Ryu slashed Rasso with the sword earlier in the game in Synesta. Now you will be Ryu again, head out of the tent and speak with Tahrne. Chose to speak about the King's Sword, she will say what happen to the King's Sword will make the punishment far more harsh. She will also mention that their is a weaponsmith who lives in a mountain who can probably make a copy of the King's Sword, and if he does returning the sword will lessen Cray's punishment. She suggests going back to the Worent Tribe to find out more about how to get to the Volcano. Now exit this area and you will be back on the world map walk towards the Worent and you will be stopped by the huge hard to miss !. Now, you will see your party Ryu will update the party, and you will now have to go back to the Worent. After the conversation you will be back on the World Map. Make your way back to the Worent and speak to the Elders. One of the Elders will tell you to get to the Mountain you will have to go east until you reach the big rock then go south, and you will arrive at the Volcano. Ok good i suggest setting up camp at this point and resting and saving then proceeding back into the plains. This time Ryu will be on foot but don't worry he is not any slower than when he was on the Whelk. Now you will still be facing East when you arrive so just keep going until you hit the big rock. Now make the red arrow face south and you will see a mountain with smoke coming from it keep going strait. Now you will reach the Volcano. ***************************************************************************** * 2c: Volcano and Faerie Madness When you get inside go right avoid stepping on the lava because if you do your HP's will be decreased. Now jump across two lava covered spaces and then walk out of the screen to reach the next room. Head to the right and up an incline, and go through the hole. Now you will be in a seemingly dead end room, walk around and you will get into a random battle after that is over the plates will move. This is a very random area, and the plate movement to me seems to be random so the only word of advice I can give you is to get into battles to make the plates move. Once you are done with the plate madness, climb down a ladder and go across a bridge to the right and you will be outside of the house enter the house. He will tell you that he is the creator of the original King's Sword and he can not make a new one without a Faerie Drop. Now go down the ladder inside the house. Make a right to the exit the area. Now follow the path and you will be back at the entrance of the Volcano. Now leave the area and you will return to the world map. Once you are back on the world map I advise you to again Rest and Save when you are done go to Wynchwood. When you arrive in Wynchwood you will hear the Faerie laughter. Now go south then jump across the space, head to the right then up an incline. You will see some Faeries that are just light press X near them and they will take on form. They will not have any Faerie Drops on them. They have a Faerie Drop where they live at, and they will take you there. Once you are there they will inform you that a group of highly dangerous Meanies have moved in and are pushing them out. If you can dispose of the 'Meanies', they will give you a Faerie Drop. When you can control the party you will see ZZZ signs all over the place these are the meanies. You can defeat almost all of the Meanies by just pounding them with physical attacks. Defeat all the Meanies and a creature will appear you might be weak after those fights so cure everyone and approach him to get a real battle! ############################################################################# Boss Fight X Fantom Front Line Party: Ryu, Nina and Scias Back Line Party: Ershin Difficulty: Intermediate Dragon Gene: Aura Item: Magic Shard This boss looks funny but you may have a tough time with it. The key thing to realize about it is this, when he is big he has a high defense but when he is small he has a high magic defense. His attacks are Drain, which usually misses Sever like Nina, Frost, which is a small ice spell, and Ovum, which can turn you into an Egg. The Ovum is the most difficult attack to look out for, because as an egg there isn't much you can do. The main form of offense is this turn Ryu into the Aura Dragon then have Nina do Cyclone and have Scias just attack it. When Ryu gets his turn have him cast Hwa, and have Nina use Cyclone then have Scias do the Super Combo if you have it. If you don't have the super Combo then just have Scias attack. Fantom will go down very quickly. ############################################################################# After the battle the Faeries will thank you and give you the Faerie Drop...(What exactly is a Faerie Drop? Is it the shriveled up carcass of a Faerie? A Faerie's Spirit? The Egg or some unborn form of a Faerie? Or the most popular belief a Faerie poop, well the faerie did pull it out of the bushes...) Anyway after this you will be brought back to the normal world, now leave Wynchwood and get back on the world map. Rest and Save once you are on the World Map. Now go to the Smith's house from the world map. When you get there speak to the Smith and he will go to work on the new King's Sword. You can use it in battle if you want but it's not all that good, anyway proceed back to the world map. ***************************************************************************** * 2d: Saving a Friend Make your way back to Ludia. Once there head strait for the castle, Nina will be ready to say they found the King's Sword, but a man will appear and say the King's Sword has already been found. The man there will say that the Empire gave them the sword back, in return for some areas on the East. He says this even worsens the matter for Cray. Nina has a plain of trying to break Cray out of there. But they must wait for it to be nighttime. Return back to the house you were sleeping in. Confirm you will wait for nightfall. While you are waiting you will see what has happened to Fou-Lu. Apparently he was found by a woman and he is still shaking up by this. Now you will be back with the main party. Use the diary next to the bed to save the game before continuing. You can speak to some of the people who hang out at night but its not needed, head strait for the castle. When you are inside make a left and check the guard, you will get into a fight with the guard. You have once round to take out the guards so I suggest using your best combos here. If you don't defeat any of the guards after one turn then the guard will call more guards and in result you will be kicked out of the castle. After you defeat the first guard, go into the room behind him and go up the stairs and defeat the guard there. Go into the room he was guarding, and there was nothing but a treasure in there. Now leave this room and go up the stairs, you will find Cray there. Cray will be surprise to see that you made it up there, and also excited that he is getting free. Once you get Cray back head out of Ludia castle. Now, go near the entrance of town, ad look behind a house, a man will be there and he will be willing to upgrade your treasure to a Lead Ball. Now leave Ludia. Head back to the Worent, it will be daytime some how. Anyway speak to the Elders, and they will suggest you to go see Cray's mother's Tahrne. Now leave the Worent; buy some things you may need before leaving and head to Tahrne's Camp. Remember it's accessible from the world map so you don't have anything to worry about with the golden plains nonsense. Anyway go there, Tahrne will tell you to just spend the night. When you wake up Tahrne will tell you what she thinks. In the morning Nina will have the idea that the Empire is probably looking for Ryu. She says they were looking for a dragon, Ryu has a Dragon's Eye, and the Sand Dragon acted strange around him. She says they should go to the Dragon's Shrine in Wyndia to find out more from the Wind Dragon. Tahrne will give the Jadestone to use for the Ruins in Wyndia. Talk to Tahrne and she will tell you that the Ruins are East of here. You should of fount the Ruins already if you got lost in the Golden Plains. ***************************************************************************** * 2e: Going to Wyndia Once you enter the Ruins go strait and you will place the Jadestone in it's spot, an entrance will be shown. Go inside the entrance and follow the path until you reach a fork. Now make a right, keep going strait, and you will come upon another fork. Now keep follow along the same path and keep strait, and you will end up in a new area. Now put Cray in the front on the party. Now go down the stairs to your right and have him push the turn style. Now go left then up slightly and have him push the turn style. Now go back up the stairs and down the opposite stairs the one on the characters left. Now you should have a clear path to get to the treasure chest so go and get it. Now go back down the stairs go up and push the turn style there. Now go to the left and push the turn style the other way. Now go back to the first one and push it the other way. Now go to the left then go up and push the turn style there. Now you can go through the doorway. Take the treasure and leave the room. Now leave and push the turn style you just pushed the other way. Now go down and push that turn style. Then go to the left and push that turn style. Now go up the stairs and then come down and you will be able to go through the doorway. When you do you will find what looks like an old storage room. Now leave this room and look along the side of the house, he will upgrade your treasure to a Brass Ball. Now leave and you will be back on the world map once you get on the world map rest and save. Now you can go to Mt. Glom. Go there and speak to the weapons smith there, you can go there and forge weapons. When you are done go into Ahm Fen. Go across the bridge and read the sign. They tell you to walk on broken parties because you might scare the animals. At this point it doesn't matter so run anyway. Now follow the path and then jump across the space, now jump across another space and then go to the left across the planks. Now keep going left and go down the planks to get the treasure. Now go back up the planks and go to the right, go across the bridge to get to the next part. Keep going across the path until you find a fork. Go to the northern path and you will see a huge snake don't worry he is harmless. Steeping on the x's will make noise and the snake will move. When it does walk across it's body. Now get off at a plank and hit the X there and the snake will move get back on the snake and get it off at the next plank. Step on another X and the snake will move again, don't get on the snake yet go down and you will find a treasure. Take it and go back and the snake will move.

Keep pressing the X there, and it will not be in the way of the chests. Now get the chest that is there. Now get on the snake and go up. Now get off the snake and go left. In the next area just go starit and you will be on the world map. Now head towards Wyndia a '!!' will appear enter here. You will be in camp automatically, after some talking a Faerie will show up, the Faerie wants Ryu to help him build the village. (Look at Faerie Village Guide for more Faerie info). After getting started with the Faerie, leave this place Rest and Save. Now go back to the area between Ahm Fen, and Wyndia, head to the ? to the right. There you will find a hut. Yuck City! A man has married a Faerie! (Faeries are cute so are puppies but a man won't marry a puppy!) Any search his house for items then head up stairs Njomo will be there, but your Faerie Village hasn't been up long enough :( Anyway, leave here altogether and proceed along the map and into Wyndia. ***************************************************************************** * 2f: Wyndia and Beyond Wyndia is the hometown of Nina and Elina they are as you know princesses here. Also you may have notice with the exception of Manilo's every person here has a pair of wings! Anyway proceed into the first shop, get as much equipment upgrade as possible. The building to the left the windmill may look ordinary but go inside proceed up the ladder. You will find Momo! (Momo was a main character from BOF3) Now Momo will become your master! She's an all positive master who teaches some decent skills. Look at the Master's Section on more about Momo skills. When you are done apprenticing people to Momo leave the windmill. Now it's time to search the kingdom. Before going to the castle search as many cupboards draw and whatever as possible. When you are done thieving find a lift on the upper right part of town and it will take you inside the castle. There are some more items all around the castle once you get inside but right now those items aren't very important, you can go search them out if you choose to. After you get off the elevator go strait up. Put Nina in front and the guards will let you through. No go to the upper left room and speak to the guard with Nina in front the guard will allow you to speak to the king. The King will tell you that they will try and protect Cray as long as possible. Then Nina will mention wanting to meet the Wind Dragon, The king will tell Nina about the woods that are east of Wyndia, an Oracle of Wind lives there. He allows your party to spend the night there. In the morning you will be fully rested. Now go down the staircase that re in the middle. Then go to the door that is on your right. Then go down another flight of stairs. You will be in the dungeon, speak to the man in the prison and he will upgrade your treasure. Now go to the inn, which is the first house inside the town, and Save, then stock on curative items and leave Wyndia. Once you are back on the World Map, go to the new route and enter. Once inside Go right over the bridge, once over the bridge go up, and you will find a fisherman. He will tell you about a fishing spot leave back out of the woods to see the fishing spot, you can go fishing if you chose. Either way when you are back in go down and out of the screen. Go left and go across the log, then follow the path until you come upon a treasure nab it. Now go back across the log and go all the way down until you reach a bridge that is broken. Go to the lower left away from this bridge to cross another bridge. Now go down and you will reach a sign. The sign tells you how to ride the log. Get on the first log and then move the log north to get on the waiting log. Take this log and roll it to the next log. Now roll this log all the way up and get off the log when you reach the ground. There is a treasure nearby if you want it. If you don't care get back on the log. Take this log and roll it down until you reach a platform on your right. Get on the log that is near the platform not the one you just got off. Roll the log to the left and get on the log that is waiting, then roll the long down and get off when you reach normal ground. Now make a left and follow along the path until you reach the next screen. In the next screen you will find a hut go inside of the hut. Once inside a conversation will start the Oracle will tell you some things about the Wind Dragon and a Tower. You will need the Wind Flute to call the Wind Dragon. The Wind Flute is located underneath the castle. When the conversation is over search the house for items leave then continue west and you will be back on the world map. You will be automatically back in camp, and Nina will notice that you are missing Scias. Cray believes that he went back to Ludia to tell them of the parties actions of late since he was paid to do it. After that you will be back on the world map reopen camp, check out the Faerie Colony and Save. Make sure to check the colony every time you open camp. Your next stop is heading back into Wyndia. Just go strait into the castle, the king is in the room with throne in it, which is the door further up from the one he was previously in. When you are inside he will allow you to take the Wind Flute which is located in the basement of this castle. After the conversation leave the throne room and go down to the door on the far end of the hallway. Go inside the windmill that is to the south. Head down a couple flights of stairs. A guard will be there and he will allow you to go into the basement. Go strait down the steps and follow along the path into the next room. Now go to the left until you reach a fork and a fan. Take the lower path and you will reach a fork and another fan. Take the upper left path and continue along the path. Follow along the path until you reach a fork and another fan. This fan is different than the others, this fan will stop your progress and blow you into another direction. Wait until the fan rotates all the way away from you and quickly run past it. Now go through the doorway and you will be in the next room. In the next room go down, and you will find a floating platform. Get on the platform, and wait for it to face in the opposite direction. When it does walk off it turn right and get on the next platform. Now wait for the platform to link up wit the ledge on your right get off it and get the treasure. Wait for the platform to come back into your direction get back on it, and wait for the platform to connect to the next piece of land get off the platform there. Then go through the door, follow along the path and you will come upon more fans that will push you back. When the wind stops hide in the wall cracks, the wind will start again you won't get pushed back because you are against the wall. When it stops go up until you find another wall crack and eventually another fan will start wait for it to stop. That's the idea throughout the area find a crack rest there and follow along the path an you will come upon an exit go through that. Now, in the next room just go strait and you will find the Wind Flute, allow the fans to push you back through this area and go all the way back to the castle. When you are back in the castle you will see Scias, Scias has informed a group of men about your actions with the Wind Dragon. The old man gives Scias a big cartoony sack of Zenny. The men want to capture Ryu for themselves to use against the Empire. Now leave Wyndia and you will be back on the world map. Set up camp check the Faeries Rest and Save. If you apprenticed anyone to the two masters in this area be sure to check to see if you learned anything new. When you are set follow the path to P'ung Tap. ***************************************************************************** * 2g: Wind Dragon and Chek Nina will blow the Wind Flute to sort of summon the Wind Dragon, a flight of stairs will be shown. Go up the stairs, and you will be in the next room. Go down the stairs and go into the next place. Go through the bottom doorway and continue along the path. Continue along the path until you reach the next room. The next area has fans that will blow you up (not like an explosion but blow you towards the sky) There are treasures scattered in this place but none of the treasures here are even worth going through the hassle of getting. Just go strait and jump off the platform and the fan will blow you into the next area. Now go through the doorway and you will be outside with some spiral steps, go around the spiral steps and go through the doorway there. Now you will be back in a higher room with a lot of fans. When you get there wait for the fan to blow then jump off then you will fly into another wind room. Now wait for the fan to blow then jump off the platform and it will take you to the next platform. Now wait for the wind to blow again and it will take you to the top of the tower, leave out of the tower and a conversation sequence will begin. Nina tells you that the gondola will take you into the sky where the Wind Dragon is located. Now try and walk across the beam and the old man Ilgor who was talking to Scias will appear. The old man will tell you he knows all about Ryu is the Yorae Dragon, and he wants you to give him up or he will kill you. Of course you won't and the old man will see three others after you. Destroy these creatures with physical attacks. After you destroy them Ilgor when send out three more monsters at this point Scias will show up. He will hand back the cartoony sack of Zenny. Now he will send the three things against your party. This time Scias is on the enemy side but he will be curing you when you are weak. Just keep up physical and single hitting attack magic. After the battle Scias will rejoin your party, he says he came and helped because he wanted to help you. He doesn't know why he gave back the Zenny or why he is sticking around, but who cares! Scias kicks ass! Now everyone will get inside the Gondola. Now you will be so high up you are in the clouds small things will be flying around near by eventually the Wind Dragon P'ung Ryong will appear. P'ung Ryu is so large only his eye can fit in the little text window picture. He is also shaking the Gondola with his voice he shrinks down and then talks some more. He will confirm that Ryu is the Yorae Dragon. He will also tell you that Ryu is an Endless. He will also say that it seems that Ryu is incomplete. Remember two key things here, Ryu is incomplete, and the word 'Ryong'. He then drops you off at a mountain and then says you will have to find a village on foot. When you can control Ryu go down the path. Then go up an incline and you will come upon a fork. Take the lower path and go in behind the sheet of ice. When you are in the cave follow along the path and eventually you will be in the next screen and out of the cave. When you are outside put Cray in the lead and have him push the snowball towards the right. Keep pushing the snowball until it falls into a rock and breaks. Now go back to the left of the screen. Now continue until you find a snowball push the snowball that is in-between the two rocks. Push it until it falls into a small hole. Now cross over the small hole that the snowball filled, and push the near by snowball down then to the left and it will fill a small hole. Cross over the snowball snag the treasure and go up and you will be on the world map. Set up camp as soon as you get on the world map, Check the Faeries Rest and Save. When you are through with camp proceed along the path and enter Chek. Speak to the children there, and then search the village there is an inn and a weapons item shop. Stock up on items a new armor weapon upgrades. Go to the house next to the weapon shop to find a woman called Abbess. Abbess will call sense that Ryu is the Yorae Dragon. She will tell you about Life Streams. You will then see Ryu, Cray and Nina's life streams. All the streams reach to the top of the screen. Ryu's stream is wide and more predominate. Abbess will tell you that the Endless have the power to sort of suck in other streams around it. She then tells you to rest for now, Ryu will wake up alone go outside and Abbess will be waiting. She will talk to Ryu more about being a God and such. Ershin will also be in Ryu's dream and Abbess will sense that Ershin is trapped inside of the armor and that there is a powerful stream coming from her. In a short while the dream will end. Ryu will wake up once again and be alone. When you leave the house this time Cray and Nina will be waiting for you. Now go to the left and up the stairs and you will be on the upper part of the town. Abbess and Ershin will be together, and from Abbess looking over Ershin it will appear that Ershin is one of the endless. Abbess wants to release the inner Ershin. ***************************************************************************** * 2h: Ershin's Mind and Fou-Lu in Sonne Ershin has monsters floating around in her mind! The monsters are weak but know powerful spells, if you have a stock of wisdom seeds provide the Gulpers with one and you may be able to pick up Ebonfire, try to make Ryu learn this. When you are ready to proceed follow along the path until you reach the next screen. In the next screen follow along the path until you find a white switch and a huge rock. By pressing the white switch it will cause the big circle thing to stop. Walk away and it will start again, keep trying until you can get on, you might hit a place in it where it's just a crater, keep doing it until you find a winding path that will take you to the top. Once at the top check the Green light in the middle that's the entrapped Ershin, you will need to defeat the 4 pillars around her to free her! (Stop whining you haven't been in a boss fight in ages!) ############################################################################# Boss Fight XI Yeleb, Agiel, Azeus, Umadap Front Line Party: Nina, Cray, and Scias Back Line Party: Ryu Difficulty: Medium Dragon Gene: Not Needed Item: Electroid, Water Bomb, Weather Vane, Molotov, Fire Wind Water Earth Ward First you want to take out Yeleb. Yeleb is the one that is Earth based. Use Sever on it and Eddy, then have Scias attack it, it should die in two turns of this. Agiel is next, Agiel is Water based. Have Ryu use Ebonfire if he learned it if not then have him do Burn, have Nina cure those who are wounded, and have Cray attack it. Azeus is wind based. You should have Cray use Stone Pillar on it if he has it, and any other Earth magic. Everyone else should just attack. Finally take out Umadap. If you picked up any icicles use those on him now. Then have everyone attack and the fight will be over. ############################################################################# You will get to see the 'real Ershin'. Ershin can't leave because she doesn't have a body. She will want you to get her the best Medium you can find. Now head back to the entrance. When you are out of Ershin's head you will be back in the real world. Abbess has already brought the best medium. Now Ershin will leave the Armor and go into the body. You will then get to see a sequence with Fou-Lu and the woman who found him. She has found Fou-Lu and is taking care of him. Fou-Lu is weak and she is trying to get him back to full health. Now Ershin will be eating. Ershin will tell you that they are both Endless, and they were both summoned a long time ago. Both of the summons got messed up. Ershin got trapped in the armor, and Ryu got split into two people. One being the Ryu found in the desert the other is well pretty easy to guess. Now the screen will shift back to Fou-Lu, leave out of the house but use the diary to save first. When you try to leave the town a man will stop you. He will know you are staying with Mami (the woman who helped Fou-Lu) Mami will show up and she will tell him that he is her cousin from out of town named Ryong. Now you will be switched back to the main party, they will still be talking to Ershin, Ershin will tell you that the other part the larger original part is Fou-Lu. Now Fou-Lu will be lying in the bed, and Fou-Lu will finally speak. (Notice Mami and the town folk speak in American Southern Dialect and Fou-Lu speaks in Old English. Mami will not understand what Fou-Lu is talking about. Fou-Lu is telling her his story about being summoned and building the Fou-Lu Empire. Now you will rest and when you wake you will control Fou-Lu, Save at the diary and leave. Go to where the landlord previously stopped Fou-Lu, and you will be in a crop field. Go up and eventually you will find Mami, a conversation will start. And then their will be a rumble everyone is shocked by this. Go up and then go across a bridge. Continue along the path and you will enter the forest once you are inside the forest go strait all the animals will scatter and a huge beast will drop down! ############################################################################# Boss Fight XII Papan Front Line Party: Fou-Lu Back Line Party: N/A Difficulty: Easy Dragon Gene: Astral Item(s): Apple, Wisdom Fruit As soon as the fight starts turn into the Astral Dragon. You will get hit by the Papan but it won't phase you much, on the next turn use Eraser. Then Keep using it if he happens to some how damages you by a lot just attack him, eventually he will turn into a run in the mill boar. ############################################################################# After the fight the bow will run off, Fou-Lu will see that it was just a mutated boar. Now leave the forest everyone will be amazed by "Ryong's" God like strength. Mami will come up and ask if he is all right and she will take her 'cousin' back home. ***************************************************************************** * 2i: Back in Ershin's Mind and Sinchon You will be back in control of the main party. They will be in conversation about trying to find the other Ryu (Notice Cray says Doesn't That Just Beat All?). Go back inside the hut and you will see that Ershin is dead tired. Abbess says you shouldn't wake a God like you would do a person but you will have to go into Ershin's mind and wake her up. Her sleep mind is slightly different than her awake mind, keep that in mind :) Follow along the path until you reach a fork in the road. Don't take any of the side roads just continue along the path you were you will soon come upon another fork. Take the upper left path. Eventually you will exit the screen in be in a shrine. You will then see the "In her mind God Form of Ershin" she is in a bed surrounded by built stripper like men. She will tell you that Ryu is the other half of Fou-Lu. The original people have summoned her Fou-lu/Ryu for their own purpose. She then goes on and tells you that Ryu is destined to meet with Fou-Lu. She tells you more about fate and then the conversation is over leave the shrine and go to the right to be out of her mind. When you leave Ershin has woken up and she tells you, that you need to go to Sinchon the Yorae Shrine to obtain more info and help for Ryu. She will also tell you to stop calling her Ershin, because her name is Deis and Ershin is what the armor called her because that means master in Empire language. Now leave Chek and you will be on the world map, now go towards the new route and a '!!' will stop you go in there and you will see the armor following behind. It seems some of Deis's power has rubbed off on the armor, Deis acts mean towards the armor. She tells the armor to act like armor, then Nina comforts it and tells it to go back to the village. Now you will be back on the World Map set up camp check your Faeries and Rest and Save. When you are done with camp go to Sinchon. Go strait and go into the next room.

After checking it two of the pillars will rise and an hour glass will appear quickly leave this room and go strait a little go up the stairs on your right and hop across all the orange pillars and make it to the other side. Now, go through the doorway and you will be in an outside place.

Yogy The ground will shake go and save your game at the diary leave the house and the ground will shake again. Go to the fields and find Mami.

Once inside down and jump off the ledge. Continue along the path jump over two more holes go down into the next room. Now just follow along the path and you will be in the next room. At the end of the path you will meet with the 'God'. The 'God' is nothing more than a huge rock monster. Of course since the Rock has a small brain it can't understand Fou-Lu mocking him. He still gets angry he calls him a wimp and he wants to smash Fou-Lu! ############################################################################# Boss Fight XIII Marl Front Line Party: Fou-Lu Back Line Party: N/A Difficulty: Intermediate Dragon Gene: Astral Item(s): None Fou-Lu is faster than Marl so turn into a Astral Dragon your first time 99% of the time Marl will use Summon Kin. He will summon Klod and Bellwyd. Kill Bellwyd with a physical attack and keep using Eraser on Marl. He will be damaging you because he is pretty powerful.

When you get almost there you will see the Landlord and Mami, Fou-Lu will inform them that he has killed their mountain god. Then the screen will go back to the main party for a little while. All the dragons will be there, they all look pretty weird too. They will tell you about Ryu and Fou-Lu. They will tell you that Fou-Lu has reawakened recently. Since Fou-Lu has been alive longer if they meet and combine Fou-Lu would engulf Ryu. After some more conversation you will go back to Fou-Lu Save at the diary, and leave 'your' house. Go to the fields on your way there you will encounter some Fou Empire Soldiers. Now run back to your house. Fou-Lu chose not to kill those guards to protect the villagers. Suddenly Mami will bust through the door she will block the door with a board. Mami will talk to Fou-Lu, she is in love with Fou-Lu, and she wanted Fou-Lu to be her husband. She knew there was something different about Fou-Lu when she met him, Fou-Lu wouldn't admit it but he cared about Mami as well. Mami will save Fou-Lu once again and tell him to go through the hole in the stove. Fou-Lu will crawl through the hole, they will break the door down and captured Mami. ***************************************************************************** * 2k: End of Chapter 2 Now you will be back with Ryu. The Dragons want you to be strong enough when you meet Fou-Lu, they will give you your powers when you find them. Then all the dragons disappear except for the Wind Dragon. Since you fount him on your own he will give you his evocation, Rainstorm. Leave the outside area and you will see what has happened to the armor in Chek. The Abbess has evacuated the village, she stayed behind and now the armor is with her. Abbess says they should now leave the village because the Empire should be coming soon. You will be bale to control the armor. Go inside of Abbess's hut and Rest and Save. Leave the Abbess's house and the army has captured the Abbess, the soldiers there will attack the armor. Destroy these soldiers, and the armor will tell the Abbess to get inside of her. Rasso will tell more troops to attack the armor destroy these troops. After that since Rasso realizes that the Armor was traveling with Ryu, he wants to know where is he now, he will want to kidnap the armor. Then Rasso gets fed up and uses his magic to destroy the Armor. (Well he didn't destroy it, but it's out of commission) Now you will be back as Ryu, you will be on the world map, set up camp check your Faeries rest and save. Now go back into Chek you will see the barely moving armor walking up to you, the Armor needs Deis back to live. Deis refuses to go back inside the armor. Then the party decided they should go and find the villagers later on. Now leave the Abbess's house the Abbess will be there and she will tell you that the villagers are inside an abandoned village. Now leave Chek and go to the world map, set up camp again and save no need to rest or check the Faeries right now. Go along the new path that leads into the mountains. Once inside go down and follow the path until you reach a fork. Make a left and follow along until you reach another fork. Now follow along that path until you reach a fork when you do go take the path leading down. Follow along and you will reach another fork take the higher path. Continue along and go up a flight of steps. Now Camp will be set up, and Nina will be a little misty eyed about Ershin.

The Soldiers are lead by a woman named Ursula another General in the Imperial Army. Nina asks can they go back to the village to see if the villagers are ok. Ursula will allow this and when you get to the abandoned Village Rasso will be there. Rasso has killed the children who occupied the village he now plans to kill Ryu this even a little extreme for Ursula's tastes. In Rasso fashion he summons a spirit to kill Ryu and company. ############################################################################# Boss Fight XIV Ight Front Line Party: Ryu, Cray Scias Back Line Party: Nina Difficulty: Easy Dragon Gene: N/A Item(s): Flame Sword, Aurum This isn't really a boss, I chose Cray and Scias because they are strong. Your first plan of action is to have Scias and Cray attack Ryu. Then have Ryu attack himself. Then hopefully Ight will attack Ryu that will kill Ryu. But he is not dead he will come back to life and turn into the Kaiser Dragon! Berserk in all he will cast a Kaiser Breath on Ight which will destroy his shield, not have Cray and Scias block and Ryu will automatically hit it with another Kaiser Breath which will kill it. ############################################################################# Now as you can see the Kaiser Dragon does everything Ryu does and Ryu has went berserk. He as the Kaiser Dragon kills Rasso, then kill the soldiers then he goes for Ursula but Nina jumped in the way. Ryu decided not to kill Ursula as well. ============================================================================= = %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% % CHAPTER 3: STREAMS % %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% 3a: Fou-Lu stopped in the Forest Fou-Lu will be in the forest in Sonne, a couple of the male villagers are escorting him out. They will give Fou-Lu the Ivory Bangle, now go through the forest and you will be on the world map. Now go to the Sanctum equip the Ivory Bangle to Fou-Lu. Once inside go strait and check the stone pillar. You need to "Sacrifice to the God". Papan now is still a form will ram himself into the pillar and start bleeding, he will then ram some more and he will die. Fou-Lu will know he was caught up in his stream and that is why he did it. Now go inside the Sanctum. Go along the path inside and you will come upon a fork in the road. Take the path on the left, follow the path until you reach a blue crystal. Check the crystal and you will realize that it is a Dragon Chrysm. You now can transform into another dragon form as Fou-Lu! Now just keep following along the path and you will end up back on the world map. You can try out your new Water Dragon Serpent, and Fou-Lu's form of the Kaiser, Tyrant. When you are ready to continue with the actual game head into the Soma Forest. Now when you enter go make a left, then go down. Continue going down and a sequence will start. It's Lord Yuna and the Q-Bert looking Yohm. They have Princess Elina with them and they are intending on using her as a sacrifice! Yohm will tell the nearby soldier to fire the Carronade into the Soma Forest. Then you be back as Fou-Lu, the Hex will land right on Fou-Lu this obviously would of killed anyone. Fou-Lu throws up and apparently has survived he laughs at the mortals but he is a seriously injured, then something shiny drop right next to Fou-Lu. (In the Japanese version and many rumors suggests that this thing belonged to Mami, and that she was sacrifice used in the Carrronade) ***************************************************************************** * 3b: Getting a Sandflier Now you will be back with the main party. Nina think because Ryu is not complete is the reason behind his berserk behavior. You may have noticed that Ursula was tied up but Scias decides that it isn't right to keep her tied up and he frees her. She still claims that you are her captives and she is taking you back to the empire. Now you will automatically leave this place and be back on the world map. Set up camp Rest Save and check the Faerie Village. When you are back on the World Map go to Chek. Go right to the Abbess's house and she will tell you to go and find the Armor and Deis. Just go right next to the house and you will find both. Now speak to Deis and Deis complains that this body isn't powerful enough and she will go back inside the armor. Well you will be automatically back on the World Map set up camp and Save if you like. But when you want to proceed in the game follow the path to a place called Mt. Ryft. When you are inside go down until you reach a fork when you do take the path on the right. Follows along the lake until you reach a fork just keep going right. Now a mini game will start (Yah! It's been a while!) ######################## Mini Game IX Rafting This game is pretty strait forward the object is to take the raft down the rapid stream. Now if you bump into stuff your raft will fall apart, and if it falls completely apart you ill have to start over. Now to gain points you have to snag the bags along the way that adds to the difficulty because obviously you want to gain points. ######################## Now when you are done with that everyone will try and figure out how exactly will they get to the Empire. Cray says they have Sandfliers in Shyde. Now when you gain control just head out of the screen. When you get on the world map it would now be a wise idea to check on your masters. When you are done head into Shyde. Since you already have been to Shyde it isn't important to talk to anyone or even buy new weapons. When you are ready to go on with the game go up the stairs located near the well. When you are on the higher part of town go do down into the next screen. Keeps going until you reach a flight of stairs go down them. Then keep going in that direction go across a bridge and enter a shop. Talk to the Manillo inside, he will not give you a sandflier because you don't have enough Zenny. (Even if your Zenny was maxed out he would not give you a Sand Flier.) He tells you, to try and hitch a ride on a sandflier that is leaving. Well you will see one leaving, Ursula and Scias will run very fast on it after some slashing sounds they say they got the sandflier. Your old friend Marlok gets off the Sandflier. Marlok will really put it into you for trying to steal your sandflier, watch Cray and Nina shrink because Marlok is belittling them. Marlok will be kind enough to give you a bond, which can be used to buy a Sandflier of your own. When you gain control back climb up the ladder on your right walk across the plank and find the man with the puppet. Chose Ask About Shift and he will tell you that Shift is a technique which enables you to travel to any previously visited place on the world map! Learn all the other stuff he is teaching and go back to the Manillo selling Sandflier. After getting the bond he will be more than happy to give you a Sandflier! This also opens my favorite mini game and racing the Sand Flier is like my favorite thing to do in this game! ######################## Mini Game X Flying through the Sand The Sandflier Mini Game is a lot like Mario Cart in my opinion, it reminds me of it for some reason. Anyway, you hold O to move the Sandflier and you press the directional buttons to move. Hop on a big hill on the track rotate the D- pad just to show that you are a stunt waste as much time as you want out here, and just follow along the path. ######################## ***************************************************************************** * 3c: 3c: Shikk Region Other Stuff and Mt. Giga Now you are in Kyoin head, to the Imperial Causeway and the guards there will tell you someone caused a ruckus in there the last time and the Causeway seems to be broken. Now head back to the Sandflier Dock and a bum with a white sack will be there, he will ask you if this is your Sandflier say yes, then ask he will want to know if you will take him to Shikk Region. Say yes to that too. Now go to Shikk Region he will give you an item, now leave the place and go back on the world map. Now follow the path to Mt. Giga. Once in Mt. Giga use the gondola there to get to the next area. Now go strait down a ramp until you reach a fork stay on the path that you are already on. Now just keep following the path and you will come upon a red crystal. Check the Red Crystal it is the Fire Chrysm, which allows you to become the Wyvern. Now keep going along the path until you find a Gondola take it and it will take you into the next screen. Once there you will come upon a fork take the lower path. Now follow along the path until you reach another fork, take the higher path and eventually you will be back on the world map. Well now that you have this nifty Sandflier it is time to go get some Evocation visit some old friends and do some other things! First thing you should do is go to Bandit's Hideout and visit Stoll, then you should go and visit Rwolf in Kurok. You should learn everything from both of them for now. Now it's time to find some more of those Dragon Evocations! First one you should search out is the Mud Dragon. The Mud Dragon is located in the '?' right after the Dam. Enter here, and search the area to find Ni Ryong. He will give Ryu the Mud Flow. Now leave here and go to the Golden Plains Area. When you are their go to Tahrne's Camp and she will tell you that there is a grass dragon here. But in order to meet it you will need to find a shining bird. Now leave her camp and go into the plain go east until you find the big rock wait by the big rock and eventually you will see a shining bird. When it starts to move follow it. Keep following and you will see the outline of a dragon, eventually you will be there and be in another area. Ch'o Ryong, is here he will teach you Healing Wind. Now you want that treasures upgraded don't you? Return to the Crash Site and you will find a man there. He will trade treasures, then go to Synesta and go into the orphanage. Talk a girl there and she will trade your treasure. Now it's time to find some new masters. Now since you are in Synesta speak to Marlok, he will allow you to be his apprentice. If you meet his requirements, then you can learn magic from him. Now go to Chek and Abbess is a master, but I'm sure you can't learn any thing from her yet. Finally there is a fishing spot you should check out. First you will have to fight a boss, go into North Chamba and you will find a man next to the place. He says there is something going on in the hex. If you want to fight it go ahead but if you think you are not ready then forget this part for now if you think you are ready then proceed. Just follow along the path and eventually a huge fish will jump out of the water! ############################################################################# Optional Boss Fight Angler Front Line Party: Ryu, Ursula, Nina Back Line Party: Scias, Cray, Ershin Difficulty: Hard Dragon Gene: Kaiser Item(s): Deep Diver, Fish Head First off you should be warned that this boss has a very high physical defense so don't even try normal attacks. Instead on the first round have Ryu turn into the Kaiser Dragon, have Nina use Cyclone and have Ursula use Cyclone. For Now on have Nina healing herself or Ursula have her and Ursula both using Cyclone when they can get in any offense. If you decided on using Scias, you should just have him heal. Cray should attack with Stone Pillar, and have Ershin using a magic or healing. ############################################################################# Now go back to the man he said since there are so many fish here the people have turned it into a fishing spot. Leave out and when you do it is now a fishing spot go and fish there are some rare ones in the mist. Now gets back in the sandflier go to Shyde to Shikk. On your way there you will notice that the bottom of the of the track looks funny proceed down there jump off of a sand hill and you will be in another area you will meet the Sand Dragon Sa Ryong. He will teach you Onslaught. ***************************************************************************** * 3d: Check point and Shikk When you are on the world map go to the checkpoint. There will be guards blocking the path to Shikk. Ursula thinks you should just break through, but Cray thinks you can reason with them. Walk over there and Cray will talk with them. he guards unfortunately will recognize Cray because he is wanted by the Ludians! You will have to fight the guards. The guards are easily destroyed. After you defeat them more guards will show up. Now Nina suggests that the wagons may be of use. Put Cray in the lead and have him push the wagon that is near the treasure so that is right on the building. Jump on it, and you will go through the air and land right near the treasure get the treasure. Now get off the wagon, leave and come back and it will be in its original position. Now push the 3 movable wagons in a row one near the house with the ladder the other two going strait at the gate where the guards are at climb off the ladder and whee! You're over the archway of the checkpoint! Now leave for the world map check a '?' place in-between checkpoint and Shikk. Go there and you will be on a strait path. Follow along until it branches off, when it does go there and you will be on the world map. A new '?' will open it. Go there, and you will find the Tree Dragon Su Ryong. He will give you Holy Circle. Now it's time to go to Shikk! Once entering Shikk search the town for weapon upgrades and restock on needed items. Then find the Tavern. Inside you will need to speak to the sailor standing by himself near the bar... hey that's Zig! (Zig was a muscle bound sailor from BOF3) He will tell you that anyone not blessed by the Sea God can not get on the Ship :( . Well the Sea God is located at the Fane. So leave town and when you are back on the world map Save Rest and go to Fane. Once there go across the bridge and speak to the sailor he will find out you need the blessing of the Sea God. He will move out of your way proceed along the path and you will enter the cave. Once inside go north and enter the cave you will find a Wave Stone. Now go back to near the entrance of the cave and you will find a pool you will automatically throw the wave stone in the pool. Now leave the cave go up the incline then go through the higher up entrance of the cave. The Sea Dragon will be there. The Sea Dragon will give you his blessing and a salt stone as proof you met him. Now leave Fane and go back to Shikk. Go back to the Tavern and Zig will walk you to your ship. Zig is superstitious, he will not allow the women Ursula and Nina on board the ship. Nina pleads their case but the sailor think women are not strong enough. At this point your old friend Kahn appears, Ursula whips out her Imperial hand gun, and shoots him off the mast. Zig said it was good but that's not physical strength, so Nina decided to face on of the sailors on top of the ship in a fight. ######################## Mini Game XI Battlin' on thee Mast The way to win is to knock off the sailor who is on the mast. It's pretty simple when you figure it out. You have to hold square to ram the sailor, and you have to press x to jump over him. This is what you do get Nina near the edge and he will try to ram you, time the jump so Nina will pounce on his head. Now when she lands hold Square and she will ram him off. ######################## Although Zig is impressed he still says they won't be able to handle ship life. So he decided to let them on board if they can survive a night in the hold. He will escort you down there. Nina and Ursula will be calm for now. But Nina will hear a noise, then she will feel something then you will get into a fight! You will have to fight a copycat blast him with a weak spell and he will turn into a wizard. Have Nina use Typhoon on the wizard and have Ursula attack it. They will think it's over for now, but the fun hasn't even begun. A horde of mice will come from the ceiling you will have to fight those. Thankfully this battle is easier than the last just hit them with a combo spell like flare Typhoon/Cyclone to get rid of them quickly. It seems at this point that Ursula is fearless. She likes Broccoli, not afraid of ghosts or mice. But she is somehow afraid of huge Sea Live. This is a hilarious sequence. Then you will be switched back to the main party. It's time to check on the ladies to see how well they did. Go down to the ship, Nina seems find but Ursula is still shaking up by all the lice. But they made it without a peep so Zig lets them come on board! ***************************************************************************** * 3e: 'Xploring the Salt Sea Once you are on the ship, Nina will suggests that you and her should check out the ship. Go in the ship get the item from the cabinet. Speak to Ursula go near the hold where Ursula and Nina had to spend the night. Nina will tell you about what happened down there. All of a sudden the ship will start to rumble. Now head up the ladder Ursula is still afraid of the lice, forget her for now and go to the deck. Some sort of animal is chasing the ship, get ready...it's only Kahn he some how chased the shipped and he still wants to fight, and now he is stronger than ever! ############################################################################# Boss Fight XV Kahn 3 Front Line Party: Ryu, Ursula, Scias Back Line Party: Nina, Cray, Ershin Difficulty: Easy Dragon Gene: Not Needed Item(s): Manly Clothes This guy has some new attacks but basically he is easier than ever. Pound him with attacks, no need to have Ryu go all crazy and turn into anything. Have Scias use the Super Combo for added hurt and Ryu and Ursula should just attack him to death. He is very strong after a Focus however if he catches Ursula it may be lights out for her, or she will be near death. Have Scias cure her up if he attacks Scias, Scias should go into a "Feel My Blade" sequence. Which rocks one super combo after that and he will surely fall over. Party 2: Nina, Cray, Ershin If you decided on these 3 Cray, should attack. Ershin should also attack if you gave Flame Pillar to Ershin or Cray then they should combine with Nina to make Giga Flare. He will go down without a struggle after a while, any curing needs Nina should handle. ############################################################################# After the battle Kahn will go away. Now the rest of the voyage will be smooth sailing. Well it should be according to the sailors. You will then wake up as Ryu, go to the deck, and Zig will tell you that the ship has been moving slowly as of late. Zig was afraid that you are near the island of fire, there are some awful spirits around there. You will have to investigate the island. You will row there and once you are in control enter inside. You will see a will O' Wasp over Ryu's over head. Why is it there? Who knows, but I do. It's there to illuminate the room, not only that it is also there to be a guide of the planks. Some planks you can step on and others you can not. Trust the Will o wasp. It can get you through this, it's like the traffic light. Green means all clear, Yellow means you're near a break and red means one step and you'll fall. If you do fall go to the back of the room and you will find a ladder which will take you back to the beginning. This area is not that hard to get through, also you have to remember that you can't jump over holes here. When you make it to safe ground go up the ladder. When you are on the deck of the ship make a left. Keep following along the path and soon you will be in a cave. Once inside you will find a "God" like Fou-Lu fought. He doesn't take kindly too small people either, he has a short temper he doesn't like you and wants to kill you! ############################################################################# Boss Fight XVI Glebe Front Line Party: Ryu, Scias, Nina Back Line Party: Ursula, Cray, Ershin Difficulty: Intermediate Dragon Gene: Wyvern Item(s): ?????? On the first turn, turn Ryu into a Wyvern. Have Nina use Cyclone or Typhoon, and have Scias use the Super Combo. Like the other "God" Marl, he summons his little buddies to help him. Keep the weak one alive, and concentrate on Glebe. When Ryu is the Wyvern change have him use Hwajeh and then have Nina use Typhoon if she has it. This combination plus the Super Combo will take him out without many problems. When he dies kill the remaining friend. Note: If you kill a lot of his friends then you get a lot of items, i killed him twice and got different items, so if you want a lot of items kill a lot of the friends. Other Party: Ursula Cray Ershin The basic idea here would be for everyone to attack, if you don't have everyone attack then have Ursula and Cray link up for a Earth + Fire spell. This does damage to all not much, and Ershin should be strong enough to take off a decent chunk of damage with normal attack. You should have one of her level 3 spells by now, use it on glebe if you do. ############################################################################# Now go back to the ship, you can just let your self drop and then just run back to the ship. When you do you will still control Ryu, go back to where the Diary is rest and safe. The trip now will go all the way safe and you will dock in the small island town called Lyp. ***************************************************************************** * 3f: Starting your western Journey. 3 New Masters Optional: %%%%%%%%%%%%%% By talking to the fishing frog in Lyp and if you have 3000 Fishing Points Gyosil will become your master. Then if you take the boat back to Shikk, and speak to the sailor next to the ship, and if you did a 25 hit combo Kryrik will become your master. Now, go back to Synesta and speak to Lyta and she will become your master, if you got Gyosil to become your master. If you went through with all of this go back to Lyp and continue with the game. %%%%%%%%%%%%%% Now, explore the town, get whatever you can and restock your items if needed. When you are done here leave and you will be on the world map. When you do go to the first ? area in the south. Enter the place and explore a while you will find some sort of red creature. Speak to it, and it will speak and in another language. Chose to feed it feed it some easily caught fish you may have or some sort of meat you caught with the faeries. Yikes! Speaking of the faeries when you leave here after feeding it twice go on the map open camp and check on them! When you are done leave camp and continue along to the next place. Once you are inside the Jungle, run across the platform and then jump over the space. Then go strait and you will find a ladder, then go up the ladder. Go across the bridge to the next tree. Now go down a ladder, make a right and go into the next area. Now walk strait and you will find a river with logs. Time to roll some logs again! Now jump on the log and roll downs until you hit another log roll continue rolling in that direction. Then keep going and then jump on the log to the right. Then roll it then jump on the next log and roll it up. Roll this long to the right, and then jump on the log that is there. Then roll the log up and put it next to the log on the left. Then roll it up to you hit another log then roll it to the left and you will reach the platform grab the treasure it's Claws Ershin equip those. Now roll back to the other log and go to the log on the right. Then go up on the log and get off on the dirt on your right. Now continue to the right and you will be back on the world map. Rest and Save when you get there. ***************************************************************************** * 3g: Pukapuka As soon as you walk in a barrage of arrows will come at you. The little red thing you fed will realize who you are and they will know you are not monsters. A normal man will come out of the house and invite you in. The man is Beyd, and according to the little red thing you can cross the tidal flats and that will get you into the main land. Then YUCK CITY AGAIN! The man married the little red thing! Yuck, Beyd how can you go from geeky guy in BOF3 to creature marrying weirdo hermit in BOF4! Now leave here and go left into the next tree house. You will see some of them circling another creature, read the diary and you will see Beyd's note on the Pabpab language. __________________________________ Pabpab Word| Translation | Ain- |During, Period | Ishi |East | Kairu |Guide, teach | Ko |Here, This | Michu |secret | Nah |Fish | Ni |You, that | No |wrong, bad | Nosta |North | Pabpab |Us | Paketo |But, Still | Poto |More, amazing | Purechi |Friend | 1.

You will find out in so many words that it is sick, you can also talking to the Pabpab's circling him. Remember Beyd has only defined some of the words he has not done it all yet. So when speaking to the Pabpab's you can almost make out the basic idea of what they are talking about and not a true translation. When you are done go back to Beyd's shack, Beyd will tell you that, the pabpab is sick, and he says thats what his wife was asking you for when you met up with her on the plain earlier. He says the medicine can be found on the ocean on an island. Now speak to the rest of the pabpabs if you want, and then go back to Lyp. Go back to the ship speak to Zig, and tell him you want to use the ship again. ######################## Mini Game XII Traveling The Sea Ok the basic idea here is simple. You are using the ship to get to places on the Salt Sea. You press X to raise or lower the mast, you press O to manually row, and you press Triangle to search an area. Now, there are plenty of flags here and what do the flags mean? They mean that there is something there! Well the red flags mean treasure the blue mean something special, there is also a place not marked by a flag that you need to check out! Place 1 & 2: Ocean Spot 2, and the place where you get the medicine Place 3 & 4: Shikk and Sea Dragon. When you depart go up, then go to the right, you will see the first Blue Flag stop there, inside you will find Ocean Spot2, the legendary Whale can be caught here, but I'm sure you can't right now. Now, get back in the boat if it took a lot of supplies to get there, simply run out your supplies, and you will be back in Lyp. Now when you get your supplies replenished go up again and to the right you will find another blue flag. Get off here, and you will be on a small beach. Check the green plant on the right, it's the mozweed the special plant that pabpab needs to get better. Chop down 99 of them, and leave. Run out your supplies and you will be in the port in lyp. Now when you get there go right, until you are half way across the ocean then go down. When you go down go to the right until you find the town of shikk, lower the anchor there. Then get right back on the boat, go to the upper left part where the rock are at find a C shaped section of rocks, and check that area. You will find that the Sea Dragon is there, if not try until you find the Sea Dragon. He will give you his powers Now run out the supplies and you will be back in Shikk, cross the ocean again and you will be back in Lyp. ######################## Now get on the world map. Set up Camp to check on your faeries rest and save. Now go back to Pabpab. Go to the other tent where the sick Pabpab is located and speak to him and you will give him a herb. Beyd will tell you to rest for now, when you wake up in the morning check on that Pabpab, he is all better! Now speak to the other Pabpabs and they will offer you their thanks. Beyd will say that the Flats are showing and you can cross the islands to get to the mainland! ***************************************************************************** * 3h: Stranded Beyd's wife will only walk you so far, and then she will leave, i couldn't make out much of what she said. Go right and follow along the path, and soon you will come upon the next screen. On the next screen go pass the ramp that you see and continue along and get the chest, it contains moon tears, backtrack back to the ramp and go up. Now go around the ledge and you will see a Chrysm in the bushes, go around some more jump over the space, then run down the near by decline, and go into the shrubs and get the Behemoth Gene! Ryu and Fou-Lu can use this Gene! Now turn around and go up the incline, go the opposite way and go down a decline. Now make your way through and into the next area. In the next area the sun is starting to set and it gets, darker, Cray says they should pick up their pace if they plan on making it, the sun will set further and it's completely night time now. Nina says there effort is futile so they should set up camp and continue in the morning. Well when they wake up Cray will realize that the Tide is back and they can't make it across. They want to make sure, so go to the left part as I you were to continue and you will realize their is nothing but ocean and you are stranded out there! Oh well! Now you will see a Fou-Lu sequence. Fou-Lu survived the "Mami Powered" Hex blast and has made it to the capital of Chedo. Things will shift back to the main party and you will be awakening still on the island. The tide is still in and you can't cross the flats right now. Now try and leave the screen by going up and to the right, and Nina is bored so she joins you, Ursula also decides to join you. Then Cray wants to tag along as well, Ursula flashes a glance at Cray and he decided not to go. Now go into the next screen, and the party will discuss that they will need food soon. Now just follow along the path and you will come upon a chests that contains a Deluxe Rod and another chest near by that contains Crabs. Nina will say that maybe you can fish nearby. Sure enough you will find a fishing spot, this is the Saldine Spot. This is mandatory fish I think, so just catch anything if your not a fishing buff, if you are try to catch whatever is available at this point. Now when you are done with fishing leave the fishing spot and Ursula and Nina will be relieved that you found food. Now make your way back to camp. Sorry no naked Ursula and Nina for us NA version players! ***************************************************************************** * 3I: Fou-Lu in the Capital and getting off the island Now Fou-Lu will get into his castle. When he does a lion creature will come down, and say it's off limits. The Lion will realize that it is the rightful ruler returning. Fou-Lu will reveal what he was up to, he wants to destroy his own Empire and Rule the world like he should! He sends the lion out to destroy the city! Now you will go back to Ryu and company, Nina suggests you should fish some more so head towards the fishing spot. You will be switched back to Fou-Lu. Now walk strait and General Yohm will show up once again to thwart your efforts. He will summon one of his creations to destroy Fou-Lu ############################################################################# Boss Fight: XVII Kahbo Front Line Party: Fou-Lu Back Line Party: N/A Difficulty: Easy Dragon Gene: Tyrant Item(s): Wisdom Fruit, Super Vitamin Turn into the Tyrant immediately. Use a few breath attacks on Kahbo, and he will soon die. He will not do anything harmful to Fou-Lu, this is perhaps the easiest boss in the game ############################################################################# Before you can catch your breath General Yohm will summon another creature for you to do battle with! ############################################################################# Boss Fight: XVIII Kamyu Front Line Party: Fou-Lu Back Line Party: N/A Difficulty: Easy Dragon Gene Tyrant Item(s) Wisdom Fruit, Ambrosia Use an Ambrosia and a Wisdom Fruit to start off the battle then Turn into Tyrant again. This time you may need to do some more Dark Waves, Kamyu doesn't do anything really harmful to you, and it doesn't take off much energy you should be able to put it away in under a minute. ############################################################################# After the fight, General Yohm will realize that Fou-Lu is a God and he can not be stopped. It was honor trying to stop him, then apparently he is about to kill himself. He set him self on fire ANOTHER thing NA players just didn't see :( . Now examine the statue that Yohm killed himself by and you will be in the castle. Now go down the stairs ignore the chest and make a left. Two guards will attempt to stop Fou-Lu. Then you will see the current emperor Soniel, and Yuna. They will be discussing what Fou-Lu is doing. Yuna says he will stop Fou-Lu if he comes in here. Fou-Lu will show up and he will send two more guards after Fou-Lu. After that Yuna will get out of there. Soniel will start to try and reason with Fou-Lu. Talking how he is a mortal and how he has no right to the throne. When Fou-Lu turns he stabs him with a Dragonslayer, and proclaims he killed Fou-Lu, and that he is the Emperor and fou-Lu is "old". Well here is yet another Jap only scene, Fou-Lu uses his power to pull the Sword out and decapitates Soniel. He then climbs the stairs and takes his throne. *Sadly this is the last time you will control Fou-Lu like this* Now you will be with Ryu and Nina at the fishing spot. Ryu seems to be very concentrated on what's going on with the fishing. Nina will be blabbing to him, apparently Nina is in love with Cray?!? But she knows he loves Elina and she use to see him as a big brother but now she sees him as more. Ryu isn't even paying attention. (I say: What is this? Cray, i thought she loved Ryu... Ryu is the "other guy", I'm pretty sure he was paying attention, and cried while we weren't looking :^D ) Nina catches on to him not paying attention and advises they just go back to camp. Now go back to camp and check the tent to rest and save. When you wake up the Tide has gone back and you can go across the flats now! go to the right side of the island the way you came in originally and the old path has reformed! Now you will be brought back to the world map, check the ? spot when you are walking down. Check the left side and Kahn will be there. Kahn says that his life of fighting is over with and he will become your next master! Agree to him being your master, and learn some of his tricks. You should at least get the first ones. Go to Khaska speak to the villagers and get weapon upgrades and armor upgrades. ***************************************************************************** * 3j: Shan River and Chiqua When you are back on the World Map head for Shan River. When you get there pull the lever. Get on and hold X to make the elevator move. Keep going until you reach the right side, keep right hop over the space and then jump on then next elevator. Take it to the next side and go into the next area. There are two chest in this area one on the right side of the screen and one on the far left, get both off these and come back out. Get on the elevator and a log will float by, ignore the log. Another log will come by, ignore this log as well. You can get on either log if you want, it leads to two treasures, that i didn't bother getting. Now when you get off go up and you will be back on the world map. Go in Chiqua speak to the fat fish near the counter on your parties left. He will tell you he knows how to get to the Capital. But what's in it for him. You can give him 3 things. One a Valuable treasure from the Ruins, 2 a Vase from Koshka, or fish needed for Shisu. The fish he wants are 3 Martian Squids, 3 Salmon, 3 Sea Breams. You can bring him one of each fish, or are 3 of one type of fish. Any combination of 3 will do. Check your fish you may already have them if you don't go to the Saldine Island. Go to that special fishing spot and catch 3 Sea Breams. Bring those back. The reason why I don't suggest the other two: It takes a very long time for them to make the vase in Koshka, you don't want to give him the treasure you will get in En Jhou trust me. So the Fish is the only thing you should be able to part with. Well give him the fish speaks to him again and he will update your treasure! Now, go speak to the man fishing in town he will tell you of another fishing spot! Ok, leave Chiqua and go back to Koshka and speak to the people there they will tell you more about En Jhou Ruins. Now leave for the world map a new path will open to the En Jhou Ruins. ***************************************************************************** * 3k: En Jhous Ruins & River When you are on the world map set up camp check on the faeries rest and save. Then go inside the ruins. Walk strait and go into the room, the man in there will tell you there is nothing there. Leave that room and go up the stairs. Check the walls in the room one of them are weak put Ershin in front and have her break the wall with her headbutt action. Go through the wall and take the stairs. You will be in another room and go down the stairs there. Jump across the hole that is right their, go up the incline and you will be in another room. Go open the chest that is right next to you, then leave and go into the doorway on the left. You will see some ropes hanging from the ceiling. Use Ryu's sword to slash the ropes. Now go back down the incline, then jump across the space. Go inside the room and get the treasures. Now jump across the space on your left, and go down the ladder. Go down the stairs on your right jump across twice then leap then jump down get the treasure and go back to the stairs go to the left, then jump down twice. Then go to the left when you are on the bottom get. Go to the Dragon Chrysm it's the Flawed Gene! Now make your way back through the En Jhou ruins. If you have made asked the Koshka to make you a jar it will be ready now, so speak to him he will sell it for 500 Zenny. Give the fish man the jar if you didn't give him the fish. Now when you are back on the world map rest and save and check the faeries! Now go in River, and when you do a Mini Game of Sorts will start! ######################## Mini Game XIII Moving the Crates Cray will need to be in the lead as he has has the push ability, so he can move the boxes. First go along the path and then push the crate to your left. Run across the Crate to the other side. Then go up a flight of stairs and keep strait, then get on top of the next crate jump off of it and go up. Then go left and then go into the next area. Now go back into the first area and you will be in the water, keep going and you will get a new weapon for Ershin equip it to her. Now go back into the other area, and use the panel and the gate will rise. Now walk across the gate then climb down from the gate when you get across it. On the other side close the gate using the panel. Then push the box that is on the left side. Go strait skip the panel and cross the bridge, a man will be there who wants to talk. Chose Dragons, then chose yes then 'They All Look different" Then chose grass and rocks, he will tell you he seen a large rock south of the River. Then chose Traveling then across the sea, then chased by the empire. He will give you an item. You can also speak to him some more, and he will give you a Wisdom Seed. When you are through with the man go to the left, and push the crate there. Now go back to the panel which i told you to ignore, use the panel twice once to drain some of the water, the second to lower the gate. Now go up and go across the crates on the left, and go into the next area. Now go back into the previous area, and get the treasure you couldn't get. Now go back into the new area go up a small incline then jump off the crate, and exit the screen to be back on the world map. ######################## Once you are on the world map, head to the fork then go take the right path. Enter that place to meet the Rock dragon, if you got all the previous dragons I mention you can use all the Dragon Breaths. ***************************************************************************** * 3l: Pauk Village, and The Emperor's Tomb Pauk Village is pretty small so speak to the folks there and get your weapons and stuffs upgraded. Now, go to the bigger tent on the upper right corner of town and speak to the woman there. The woman says that the Elder knows how to get to the capital but he won't talk because his pet chicken has ran away. Now leave Pauk and get back on the world map, go to a question mark spot that is near Pauk and you will be in another mini game! ######################## Mini Game XIV Catch the Chicken In this fun mini game you will have to catch Tak, the Elder's chicken. The Elder's chicken is easily identified as the brown one. You can catch the other chickens if you want for more points. This game has no clock, but I think you may get a bonus if you catch the chickens including Tak really fast. To catch a chicken you have to chase it in the chicken coop, which is in the middle of the screen. Try and ignore Tak and chase the other chickens in for points then go after Tak ######################## Now return to Pauk, and speak to the Elder, he will tell you that the road to the Empire is currently blocked off. However you can go to Astana by first going to the 1st Emperor's Tomb. Nina decided the Emperor's Tomb might be a great place to go. So they decide to check it out. When you get on the world map Save Rest and check the Faeries. Then ignore the place labeled Kwanso, and then go to the forest next Fou-Lu's tomb. By exploring this place, you will find out that it was on fire. Keep looking, go to the place where the bridge was and in the upper right corner you will find the last Dragon Chrysm. This allows Ryu to become the Myrmidon Dragon, which is wind based. Leave here by going south and guess what a new Fishing spot will open! Wowser's fish around, and catch whatever you can and when you are ready proceed to Fou-Lu's Tomb. When inside you will recognize such landmark places like where Fou-Lu used Astral to kill those guards. Go up the hill on your right, and proceed along the path into the next screen. Get the treasure if you haven't gotten it as Fou-Lu, jump across the gap on the left. Then go up. You will be in the area with all the steps go up the steps. You will see Fou- Lu's Tomb Guardian is stone. He will come alive, he will allow know one to enter the master's tomb. He will realize Ryu is bredren to Fou-Lu, but he doesn't care those are his master's orders! ############################################################################# Boss Fight XIX Wonqu Front Line Party: Ryu, Nina, Ershin Back Line Party: Scias, Cray, Ursula Difficulty: Very Hard Dragon Gene: Controlled Kaiser, Weyr Item(s) Moon Tears, Cupid's Lyre This battle is mega tough. If you have a controlled Kaiser then the difficulty is only hard. If you are still with Berserk Kaiser just use Weyr(Wyvern) for the time being. Now, Wonqu is like his master, and is water based. Plus he has a lot of HP and is very strong physically. You will want in the first round for Ryu to turn into either Dragon, Kaiser is preferred. You then have Ershin do an Inferno followed by Nina's Typhoon to make Gigaflare. This does a nice chunk of damage. Ryu when he becomes the Dragon should use breath uintil he is at half Hp, then switch to Hwajeh, when Ryu is at half HP, and bring Ursula from the back to replace Nina. Assuming Ursula has Inferno by now use the combo Ershin Inferno, Ryu Hwajeh, Ursula, Inferno. This will also do great damage to Wonqu. If things get real rough have Ryu waste all of his evocations on Won-qu except the Sea Dragon. Then whoever got Flame Pillar should come from the back and make Inferno, Inferno Flame Pillar. ############################################################################# Now, Wonqu will give up and admit that he couldn't beat Ryu, and he was the equal of his master. Now leave Tomb if anyone died go to an inn and rest if not just set up camp, then go back into tomb. There is a good skill you should learn here, try and fight with guardians, guardians do triple blow, i suggest saving that little nugget for our mercenary Scias :) Go strait down all the spiraling stair cases, and enter the door way there. Now go down another flight of stairs. Then go up, when you hit a fork keep going up and get a chest that has vitamins in it. Now go back to the fork and go left, and use the block elevator. Now go through the door to reach the next room, once inside then check the plaque and the pillar will lower. Now go into the next room strait ahead. You will be given a puzzle where you have to use the controls to line up the blocks to reach the middle and to the other chest and the far end side of the room . Once you do that get bot treasures the one in the middle is a bead which you will need in a moment. The other one is a weapon for Ursula equip that to her immediately. Now go back to the previous room and the bead will crumble. Now go down the newly form stairway to reach the bottom of the room, then go up the ladder that is on the right side of the room. Climb up that ladder go left climb up another ladder and go inside the doorway there. Now go strait along the path and when you reach the fork make a left, then go through the doorway. Now, put Cray in the lead and the pillar there will lower go down the ladder that is behind the pillar. Now Cray will be all alone, and a huge block will be in front of him. Beware the red eye of the block, if Cray comes in contact with the red eye 10% of your total HP will drop temporarily, and you can't recover it until your next rest! Try your best to ignore the Eye of the Block. Get to the middle of the room to reach the next bead, and try to make your way to the treasure for 5000 zenny, it won't be easy, you may be able to come out with only 1 10% hp loss. When you make it back to the party, go back to the room where the previous bead crumbled. Now this bead will also crumble. Now go to the bottom of the room, where the pillar was lowered, and go into the doorway behind it. Follow along the path until you reach a fork, make a left at the fork and go through the door to reach the next area. Before moving make sure the entire party is at max HP/AP. Now run strait a couple of bridges will form. Two dies will appear and they will want to battle! ############################################################################# Boss Fight XX I,II Front Line Party for I: Nina, Ershin, Ursula Back Line Party for I: Ryu, Scias, Cray Front Line Party for II: Ryu, Scias, Cray Back Line Party for II: Nina, Ershin, Ursula Difficulty: Hard Dragon Gene: Don't use Item(s) Wisdom Fruit, Harmonic Ring, Vitamins Ok, I take this like it's two battles. You should go for I first. I is immune to physical attacks. II is immune to magic attacks. Both I and II will mainly use an attack called Revolution. This can reduce your HP to 1, but if your HP is at 1, it will give you Max HP. This is why i suggest not using any Dragons, because it really sucks when one of those dies. You should try and get rid of I, just use Inferno on it for the most part, or if Nina has Flame Pillar then this is even easier. If you can get the Inferno, Inferno, Flame Pillar going then you will slice through I like cheese. In 3 rounds I will drop by using that. Now it's time for 2 change your front party to the fellas. Have them all attack II, Ryu should be using Double Blow if he has it, Cray should be in the back throwing items to non threatening HP needs, and Scias should use Super Combo, or Triple Blow. When Cray can get in offense, he should just attack. II will be destroyed quicker than one if your guys are strong enough. ############################################################################# Now, after the battle Wonqu will return, he will be impressed. He will realize your strength, and give you the Wonqu Gem. Take this back to the room, where the beads got destroyed. A block will appear. Use the block and chose move ahead. You will be taken outside and around the back of Fou-Lu's tomb. Now go back on the World Map, rest Save and check the faeries. That was a tough battle you needed to rest. Now, go to the place called Mukto. You will be in the area behind Fou-Lu's tomb. Now go to the left near the exit of Tomb, and keep going to the left and jump over the space. Now go across the path there, and go up, and go inside the cave. Now put Ershin in front and have her check the wall, when you find the spot with a whole lot of cracks, have her use her action to destroy, the wall, proceed inside. This area is not really required, but you can go in it for some items. The main focus of the place is that it contains the Dragons Tear. Search the lower floors for items, then come back to the top floor. Make a left near the entrance and follow along the path. Then clmb up a ladder get the treasures and continue climbing up the ladder. Then climb up another ladder and go through the passway. Now go strait and enter the place. Take the Dragons Tear, read the plaque, and go back to the world map rest and save. ***************************************************************************** * 3m: End of Chapter III When you are back on the world map new, roads to old places will be back. For now head back in Astana. The main reason you are in Astana is to get the new weapons here, and the Manillo shop. Once you are done with that leave Astana, there is nothing else really important here. Now go to the ? spot near Kwanso. You will be on a mountain, go strait down the mountains and when you reach a fork go right, continue along that path and you will find Bunyan! He is the last master of the game, if you met the requirements of all the other masters, and you have found every master he will be your master. You should be able to at least get his first skill. His second skill may be a stretch for some, and his 3rd skill i don't think anyone is getting without putting in serious hours. Now leave here and go back down the mountain, you will end up back on the world map a new path leading to Highway will appear take it. If you come to a ? mark on the path take, it then read the sign there, you will find there is a fishing spot near by! This is also the last fishing spot of the game! Last fishing spot, last master, all signs of the end of the game! When you get on the highway, there is Imperial Troops all over the place! Put Ursula in the lead and speak to the main that is in front of the army. Ursula will inquire about General Rhun, the guard will say he has left and went to Astana. Now leave highway and go back to Astana. Now go back in town, and go to that building where the guard wouldn't let you down the stairs. The guard will let you down the stairs now so descend them. Now go down them go strait and you will be outside, go up a flight of stairs and you will be near a large. Building walk around the left side of the building and you will find a doorway. Ha! It's the room where you saw Yuna when looking for Elina! The party will also realize this, but there is something not right. You will be thrown into battle! This battle is pretty simple it's just a bunch of Zombies from earlier in the game. Just kill all the zombies and then kill the Warlok controlling them, all of this can be done with physical attacks. But if you are too lazy for that use a breath attack on them to get rid of them with one round. Now go to where the red curtain is, and continue along the path to where Yuna stopped you. You will see a soldier speak to him and keep- going pass that point, and use the elevator there. Once off the elevator follow along the path and pull the lever when you come upon it, this will lower the gate. Now keep going strait, and go down a flight of stairs. Speak to the soldier and keep going strait, now go through the doorway. Grab the treasure, it's a weapon for Ershin equip it to her. Now go up the stairs make a left, and then go across the bridge then keep going strait and into the next area. In the next area some huge monster's intestines will be on the wall. Now climb up the veins and guts and go left. A piece of vein will block your path use Ryu to try and slash it. You will then hear that a normal sword can not cut that. A holographic image of Elina will be on the wall. She says only a Dragonslayer can cut through that. (As you know the Dragonslayer is what Soniel used to try and kill Fou-Lu) Now make your way all the way back to Astana and to the place where you weren't originally aloud. The soldiers there will say Yuna is on his way here, but he is stuck somewhere. Now get on the world map set up camp rest save and check the Faeries. Now go to Rwanso, put Ursula in the lead and speak to the guards there. They will open the gates, and Yuna will be on the other side. Yuna will not give up the dragonslayer just like that, but Ryu will swipe him with his sword. Yuna will get out of there, and he forgot his sword! Pick it up, read the description, it kills Gods! But i doubt it would kill Ryu, and it didn't kill Fou-Lu. Now make your way back to the place. You will find out that the place is full of hex, and that made the monsters here quite cranky, plus stronger! Make your way all the way back where the huge monster guts were at. Put Ryu in front equip the Dragonslayer and cut the vein. The vein will mysteriously grow back in 2 seconds so move quick. Now continue to climb up the guts and you will be on the top. Now go in the door and go up the flight of stairs on the left. Yuna will be near a small house, he will talk to you about nonsensical things. Now proceed inside the house and Elina is resting in the bed. She will talk to her sister, and Cray since she knows no one else. She will then ask Ryu to leave the Drgonslayer behind?!? She will talk to Cray alone, she will talk about things that she shouldn't know about it. Cray will then ask her how does she know about Ryu, and how does she know about these things. she will tell him that she is an Endless. Yuna will now show up. He will tell Cray he needed a Sacrifice for the Carronade that would do some major damage. He says Elina was too pure for the Caronade she had no evil inside of her. That is why she was made into an Endless. Carronade sacrifices need to go under a lot of torture, and since an endless couldn't be killed she could be tortured without be killed. She is so large that those monster guts belong to her. Cray will pull back the sheet and discover this. Yuna will then flee through the window, Elina request that Cray kills her. She doesn't want to live like this. At first he doesn't want to do it, but then he realizes he has to he doesn't want to see her suffer. Now the screen shifts to the rest of the party they are discussing why Cray has been gone all this time. Cray then leaves the house and he leaves the Dragonslayer behind... :( ============================================================================= = %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% % CHAPTER 4: THAT WHICH PASSES % %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% 4a: Chedo Now you will be in Astana so leave Astana. Once you are back on the World Map, you will be able to go to everywhere in the game. So go to Sonne, speak to the woman in the fields, and she will upgrade your treasure. This should be the final treasure upgrade if you got them all. Now go in Sonne although it's pretty pointless, it's kind of funny to see almost everyone mistaking Ryu for Fou-Lu. Now go back on the world map, and go to all the masters, and try to get everything you can right now. Also check your Faeries and Save. Now head to Chedo. Now go there, everyone one will be speaking of all the destruction some monster has caused, no one in the army was powerful enough to stop it. (You may remember Fou-Lu told his Guardian to destroy the city well...) Well there is still shops here. I suggest you get as many vitamins, Ammonia's and anything else of interest. If you are a little nervous go and try and catch some of those powerful fish. Do whatever you need, and when you are ready come back in Chedo. The part with the shops is the safe spot, although destroyed monsters aren't running loose here. When you are done getting all you need go strait and you will be taken to the other side of the tracks. Once on the other side go into the house that is right next to you. Go up the stairs grab the treasure, jump over the space and go down the flight of stairs. Go under the archway on the left side, go up a flight of stairs and go inside the building. Go right and up a ladder, then go to the left and get the treasure. Now leave this building, then go right. Then go up a flight of stairs, then go in the building, then go out of the building on the left side and get the treasure. Now go inside the building again and go down a flight of stairs, then go up and then make a left. Keep going in that direction, then go down some and you will find a chest get it and then go through the gate there. When you start going strait, you will see the guardian that Fou- Lu told to destroy the city. He will then try and destroy you as well! ############################################################################# Boss Fight XXI A-tur Front Line Party: Ryu, Scias, Ursula Back Line Party: Nina, Ershin, Cray Difficulty: Very Hard Dragon Gene: Controlled Kaiser, Myrmidon Item(s) Moon Tears, Spirit Ring This is one difficult battle. When the battle starts have ryu become the controled Kaiser. Have Scias use the supercombo, followed by Ursula using Inferno. When Ryu becomes Kaiser have him use Kaiserbreath until he takes a damaging hit. When Kaiser HP drops too low, just have Kaiser use Hwajeh and bring Ershin out of the back row to replace Scias. Have these 3 combines for Inferno, Inferno Hwajeh. When Ryu goes back to normal either by Kaiser dying or running out of MP. Have Ryu waste all of the Evocations on this battle. When that is done throw him a wisdom fruit. Have him become the Myrmidon, and use the breath until his HP's fall low again. Then just have him just attack as it. When Ryu, goes back to normal replace Ershin with Scias or Nina and have them cure the entire party. Then keep Scias in and have him do Supercombo or Triple Blow. ############################################################################# This guardian will realize also that Ryu is the equal of his master. Then you will see a sequence with General Rhun and Ursula. Apparently, General Rhun raised Ursula when she was a child, General Rhun was Ursula's grandfather. General Rhun warns Ryu of what is in side of the castle. He also apologizes in behalf of the whole army, they will need the help of the Yorae Dragon to save the world. ***************************************************************************** * 4b: End of Game When the gates open, run out of Chedo and go back to the world map. Go to camp and go to the faerie village, make an inn if you don't have one and get a free inn rest to restore Ryu's dragons, and evocations. Make a final check to see if you can or if you know all the Master's Skills. Then finally check your Skills, see what you have better on the scroll, or if you have a good skill equip to a person who doesn't need it. Then Save the game. Then proceed to castle. Go inside the castle, and check the crystal on the far end, Fou- Lu's other Guardian will appear. He will realize that you must meet Fou-Lu and will take you into the immediate castle. After the ride he can only take you so far. When you can control your characters go down the stairs, then go strait, and then go to the left side of the room, and go into the door. Some Imperial Soldiers will be there, a Diary is conveniatly located here. Put Ershin in front of the party and have her ram the book case a key will fall. Then use the diary to save. Go around the right side of the room and the key will open the gate blocking the stairs. Go down the stairs, make a left then go down. Go across the planks go across it and then go up and in a doorway. Check all the bookcases, and you will come upon an Ivory 'Dyse'. Now leave here and go to the door on the left. Go down the stairs in this room. Now go to the upper right room, and then make a left through 3 rooms. And then go down a flight of stairs. Make a left here then go up when you reach the fork, then make a left. You will be in a room with bookshelves read the books and find the item hidden. Also check the cabinets for more items and then leave the room. Now go back to the fork and make a right then go through the doorway and down the stairs. Go strait into the next room, search the closet for a burglar garb, and equip it to Ursula. Now leave this room Heal up everyone and then go to the next room, a huge dragon will be in the middle approach it! ############################################################################# Boss Fight XXII Dragonne Front Line Party: Ryu, Scias, Ursula Back Line Party: Nina, Ershin, Cray Difficulty: Very Hard Dragon Gene: Controlled Kaiser Item(s) Moon Tears, Belladonna This boss is difficult, because he has some sort of thing that can cure him every turn. It will seem impossible when you lose the battle. But the main thing you have to do here is turn Ryu into Kaiser. When Ryu is Kaiser blast it with Kaiser breath until he loses that that function. Everyone else should block or cure each other. Until that's whipped out, it won't take any more than 4 rounds. Then you should blast the dragon with powerful magic, and Super Combos. You should unleash everything you have against it. This dragon won't go down easy, but once the curing ability is gone the battle is not that tough. ############################################################################# When the battle is over take Blue Charm from where the dragon once was. Now go through the doorway, you will find two elevators. Take the one on the left up to the 5th floor. You will be near the entrance. You might take this opportunity to leave the castle and go to Chedo and restock on items like Ammonia and Vitamin. Then go back into castle when you do make sure you save first in the room with the diary. Use the blue charm on the door block by the blue charm, examine the rooms here to find a Dragon Helm and Armor for Ershin equip those immediately and come back out. Now go to the front room the elevator will still be there take it to the first floor. Go into the other elevator and go to B1. Get off the elevator and go down the stairs, the area is blocked by a yellow field. Now go up and go down another flight of stairs. Make a right and go through the door into the next room and go down the ladder. Go strait and find a chest that contains Aurums, then climb up the ladder, then up another ladder. Now go through the way there, keep strait and you will find a dead end, a treasure will be there it's the Shaman's Ring. Equip that to Ryu immediately. Now run all the way back to the where the ladder was and go through the door there. Hit the switch and the bridge will be raised. Run inside the doorway there. Go strait and you will find the Yellow Charm. Don't get back yet, instead go strait and you will find a door sealed by the yellow forcefield. Open the door now, and you will find wonderful treasures here! Now go back and raise the bridge again, then go all the way back to the force area sealed by the yellow forcefield. You can access it now. When you are down the stairs go along the path and down another flight of stairs. Then you will find the Red Charm.( Simmo says head back up to the first floor, use the elevator on floor B3. The 1st floor is where you fought Dragonne, then head North into the room with the save point. Head east down the stairs from there, and you will come to a door locked with the red charm. Open the door, and open the chest and you will find the Dragon Blade.) After that go back to the place you got the red charm and keep going strait and you will come upon a chest containing life shards. Use these on Ursula, then go back to the room with the Red charm in it. Go through the doorway there, use the red charm on the door. When you're done with that go back to the spot you go the red charm and go strait and use the red charm on the elevator. Get on the elevator and it will take you down. Go in the room behind the elevator, there you will ifnd many useful items in the cupboards. There is also a nifty diary here, Rest and save. Now go on the other side of the elevator and you will find a lot of stairs, go down all the staircases. Eventually you will be taken to the actual throne room, which you saw in Fou-Lu's scenario. Go inside, Cray will say something and then be hit with a beam of light. Nina will then be hit as well. Then you will see Fou-Lu on the throne. He will be upset because of the mortals. He will tell Ryu to come to him. Luckily he didn't kill your friends although they are not moving. Fou-Lu and Ryu will meet at last, Fou-Lu will ask Ryu to become one God, Ryu does not want to do it, and he swipes at Fou-Lu. Fou-Lu disappears, Nina comes up and the rest of the party follows. It was only a projection of Fou-Lu. The party is still fully healed so go through the doorway there, and use the elevator cube. You will be at an outside place and Fou-Lu will be standing there, Ryu wants to talk to him alone. Ryu and Fou-Lu start to talk, and Ryu won't join with him yet, Fou-Lu tests Ryu's powers! ############################################################################# Boss Fight XXIII Fou-Lu Front Line Party: Ryu Back Line Party: N/A Difficulty: N/A Dragon Gene: Not needed Item(s) None Well this is not a battle, but I believe you can kill Fou-Lu here if you were strong enough. (If I will you will be the first to know ;) Anyway, if you want to make it out alive just block Fou-Lu, although he only does 300 HP's worth of damage for 5 rounds his Whiteout can take 1500 HP away. Keep your HP above 1500 and you won't die at the end. You can attack him if you want. During the battle he will speak to you he will then say how long can you stand up to my powers and use Whiteout on you ending the battle. ############################################################################# You will then see the scene of Ryu getting White Out. Nina will come up and cure Ryu. Then the rest of the party will walk up. Fou-Lu tried to convince Ryu by showing him particular scenes of his mission. You will first see Fou- Lu trying to escape the Empire. This will signify the war mentality of mortals. (After each scene you will get a choice of Maybe so... I don't know. If you want the real ending always use I don't know if you want the alternative ending put maybe so) Now Fou-Lu will show Ryu Cray being accused by Ludia, this will signify Trust. Then he will show Ryu, when Russo killed the village of children, this will signify mortal cruelty. Then he will show Ryu when Yuna made Elina into an Endless this will show cruelty and also playing God. Then I believe since Ryu can see Fou-Lu's thoughts, Ryu brings up when Mami first rescued him, and when Mami saved him from the empire. This was to show not all mortals are bad and that Fou-Lu even felt compassion at one point. Fou-Lu doesn't care and thinks that your party Mami and others were just caught in their God life streams. You will then feel Fou-Lu's thoughts and get two choices, Maybe So... You're Wrong! First I'll tell you about Maybe So. Here Ryu and Fou-Lu hold hands. Ryu's flesh evaporates and he goes inside of Fou-Lu. To make an unstoppable Supreme God. Fou-Lu is the greater, and decides nothing will stand in his way of taking over the world! ############################################################################# Bad Ending Final Fight Nina, Cray, Scias, Ursula, Ershin Front Line Party: Infini Back Line Party: N/A Difficulty: Easy Dragon Gene: N/A Item(s) None Well can you call this a battle. Although your party collectively 49,995 HP's. They're are no match for Infini. Nina does Cyclone and Vigor, Cray just attacks, and Scias does Shadowwalk. Ursula attacks, and Ershin Blocks. I heard reports that you can lose this battle on purpose if you want. You can also throw a curative item to Nina and hear her comments. When you are done trying to kill yourself, or you just want to kill them, use Soul Rend, then Dark Wave. No one will survive it... ############################################################################# After the battle Fou-Lu will carry out his wishes, the ending here basically sucks wet ass... enjoy it because you were afraid of having to face Fou-Lu! You're Wrong! Ryu slaps Fou-Lu's hand away, Fou-Lu can't comprehend Ryu's actions, so he has to kill him he calls his Tyrant dragon to do his dirty work! ############################################################################# Final Fight I Tyrant Front Line Party: Ryu, Ursula, Nina Back Line Party: Scias, Cray, Ershin Difficulty: Very Hard Dragon Gene: Controlled Kaiser, Weyr, Knight Item(s) Steal Royal Armor, Drops Ambrosia Well, this is a tough one. You will want to first become the Controlled Kaiser as Ryu, and then hack at Tyrant with Kaiser Breath. You will want to do the combo of Inferno, Tphoon, Kaiserbreath. When Tyrant weakens Kaiser too much, have Ryu make the combo of Hwajeh, Inferno, Typhoon. This will do mega damage, when you either run out of HP as Kaiser or run out of MP. Give Ryu a Wisdom Fruit and turn him into the Weyr. Continued the combo of Inferno Hwajeh, Typhoon. give Nina and Ursula Wisdom Seeds, as much as possible. When they get too weak bring Cray from the back row. Have him use Quake followed by Ershin's Inferno and Hwajeh. When Weyr eventually runs out of HP, use Knight if you have it. With Knight use Breath until he becomes too weak, and then have Nina and Ursula come back for the combo of Inferno, Typhoon, Ahryu P'ung. Now for defensive, Tyrant like Kaiser is a triple based Dragon. It can do Wind Earth and Water. It's only weakness is Fire, on almost any stage especially when it uses water. It does Dark Wave, and it sort of tells you how strong the Tyrant is since it's an HP breath attack. So if the hit's are done in the low hundreds or tens you basically whipe it out in two rounds of so. Then it also does the level 3 magics of it's 3 elements. It uses elements more so than anything else. Finally it uses Malefictation, an all status spell that doesn't hurt but may have characters messed up for a while. Stick to the combos is the only way to make it through this. ############################################################################# Now Fou-Lu will want to end this once and for all! ############################################################################# Final Fight II Astral Front Line Party: Ryu, Ursula, Nina Back Line Party: Scias, Cray, Ershin Difficulty: EXTREMELY HARD Dragon Gene: Controlled Kaiser, Weyr, Knight Item(s) Steal Royal Sword Ok you will still be beat up from the last battle. On the first turn, do nothing, just guard, 95% of the time he will use a Soul Rend right away so if you just cured you just wasted a perfectly good item. Now the front 3 will be down to 1 Hp, bring one of the stronger members from the back hopefully Scias to use a Moon Tears on the party, then have Nina throw Ryu a Wisdom Fruit and have Ryu use the Ambrosia. Now you will be back in shape, have the other characters use Wisdom Seeds on themselves. If you have some ungodly stock of AP items like Fish use those instead. When you are on the base shape you can be while standing up to some powerful attacks from Astral. Use all your good things like Vitamins to keep your HP high. Then have Ryu turn into Kaiser, have him use Kaiser Breath followed by a Gigaflare by Ursula and Nina. Since Astral is Water based, it will take some serious damage from this. When he regrettably uses another Soul Rend, have Ryu stay Kaiser put him in the back and used one of your cured characters like Cray to use Vitamins or a Moon Tears. Then bring Ershin and Ursula back, use the combo of Ershin Inferno, Kaiser, Hwajeh, and Ursula Inferno. Until Astral gets mad and takes out Ryu. Now give Ryu a Wisdom Fruit if you have another one and turn into Weyr, then use the combo of Inferno, Inferno, and Weyr's Breath. Until Astral Soul Rend's. Just keep a character like Cray fully healed and hav him heal the party whenever he does this, this way you won't have everyone dead. Keep this fact in mind, Astral never uses Soul Rend twice. So you can recover from it. Run through all your dragons except Earth since it is so slow. Until he wears them all out. Try to keep curing your party, bring Ershin and Scias from the back row when needed. Then keep using Fire or wind spells. Eventually after an hour or so this one will be defeated as well. ############################################################################# Now watch the ending, make sure to let the credits roll so you can make a Clear Game Save! ***************************************************************************** * 4c: Clear Game Ok now that you have beaten the game, is their anything else to do? Yeah you can do some fun things, try and find all the secrets that you didn't have. But here are a few things you couldn't do in the normal game. Go to the ? village above Chek, you will find an item trader if you didn't trade with the guy at night in Ludia. Above all you will find Rei and Teepo (Although this game blows cause they call Rei "Rey". It's still fun to see those guys, this gives those of you who never played BOF3 to see what ray should of been like! One funny thing i noticed, Teepo has the kid face in the Text box but an adult body. You can buy cool things from Rei's shop like a King frog. Teepo will give you a sword, and if you use it 1000 times it becomes a better sword! Also Rei says Doesn't That Just beat all? These guys rock and made beating the game worth it! That's a Dy$e Guarantee.
