=============================================================================== 1. Introduction===============================================================================

Hurray, the sequel's finally here! And fortuitously, arrived on the one weekendin a long time where I've actually had free time. As before, this is an attemptat being completely spoiler-free (i.e. vague as hell) for the story portion ofthe game, which is looking much better so far. I basically gutted the FAQ forthe first story to make this one rather than copy/paste into a new file, sothings might look a little jumbled at first till I fix everything up. Besidesthat, it's the same general format. Read on and enjoy!

=============================================================================== 2. Updates===============================================================================

1.12 - I won FOTM for October 2006! Yaaaaay!

1.11 - A couple different people have e-mailed me telling me about the escapespell and how you don't really have to walk all the way back to the entrance ofa dungeon after defeating the final boss. Sure wish I'd known that the firsttime I played the game...or the second. Anyway, I finally got around toupdating various parts of the guide to reflect that you can, indeed, get out ofdungeons much faster than previously believed.

1.10 - Finally finished the rare medals. That's all, folks.

1.00 - Bonus dungeons done. Working on sidequests for my New Game+.

0.92 - Three bonus dungeons done. Working on the Glacier Gorge.

0.80 - Main game complete. Next stop: the bonus dungeons.

0.76 - Some fixes to the format. I won't be including a weapon forging section,as there's already a complete FAQ on that up already, and anything I wrotewould just be redundant listwork (and I HATE listwork!) However, I'll likelybe writing up sections for the daily sidequests, and a little mini-guide forthe rampage rabbit when I start my New Game+.

0.75 - Almost done. On the last day, anyway.

0.01 - Just started. Expect the section numbers and headings to change aroundas I work through just how much of the game I'm going to cover (i.e. do I botherhunting down all the techniques and whatnot).

=============================================================================== 3. Frequently Asked Questions===============================================================================

Q. Is this game a continuation of the first Swordcraft Story?A. No, it's all different characters/locations/etc. The game mechanics arethe same, though.

Q. Is this game even better than the first?A. Oh, hell yeah!

Q. Have the weapons changed?A. Sort of. Axes are a little better if you can stand the agi hit. Spearsdon't work as well for anything but spamming the midair spin move against flyingenemies. Swords are still the best in terms of general use. Drills are greatfor dealing with multiple monsters, but they're typically very slow for thelater bosses. Knuckles are quite good, if only for the agi boost.

Q. How about crafting?A. There are two important changes regarding crafting. First, there's no morebreaking down materials and using the elemental properties. Second, you'relimited in how many of each weapon type you can make by how many shapestonesyou have. Very early in the game you gain the ability to disassemble weapons,which restores the shapestone you used to craft it, but not the actual craftingmaterials.

Q. Upgrading weapons? How does that work?A. Any item that's used to craft a weapon can also be used to upgrade its statsonce your craftknight rank reaches a certain level. However, until you upgrade

a weapon with a particular item, you won't know what sort of stats will come asa result. You only need to use a certain item once to know how it will affectany future weapons.

Q. I heard using the same shapestone to craft new weapons makes the new onestronger?A. True. Using the same shapestone gives bonus stats to whatever weapon youmake next with it. This carries over into each new weapon. The bonus retainedby the shapestone is based on that weapon's tech stat and the weapon's basestats.

Q. How do you raise your craftknight rank?A. Craft weapons. It does up faster if you make weapons using the latest andstrongest materials you've collected (as opposed to just making one weapon fromordinary iron ore and disassembling/reforging it repeatedly). You can tell ifyou're using the good stuff by the size of the sparks that appear when you'rehammering the weapon.

Q. Can you still break boss weapons?A. Yes, but rather than the specific weapon technique, you gain a craftableitem that will result in the weapon having a special attack as well as muchbetter stats. However, with the new craft system, it's not always worthbreaking their weapons, unless you fish a lot.

Q. OMG! Breaking boss weapons is too hard!A. At one point in the game you'll be able to buy the hard shell craft itemfrom the fishing rewards. Upgrading a weapon with three hard shells will givethat weapon the Arm Breaker special attack. This will reduce a boss's weapondurability by 10 each time you hit them with it (unless they have weapon guardactive).

Q. Can I get a boss weapon back after forging and disassembling it?A. Yes, the items show up as prizes for fishing. You can buy multiple copiesas well, if you have the points. However, some of the end-game crafting itemscan't be bought and have to be acquired from the monsters that drop them.

Q. Does it matter which character I choose?A. As far as I know, no.

Q. Does it matter which Guardian Beast I choose?A. Not that I know of, but they all have different dialogue, and they're allpretty funny. Your Guardian Beast doesn't determine what weapons you can andcannot forge, so just pick whoever you like.

Q. Is there still lesbian joy in this game?A. Yes. Yes, there is. All hail Lynn the Horny!

Q. Which dialogue option should I pick?A. If I don't specify in the guide, it's just flavor text and has no overallbearing on the game.

Q. What's the 'tech' stat?A. This is your ability with that particular weapon. A higher tec stat meansthat weapon will take less durability damage from attacking/blocking, and willlose less durability when using special attacks.

Q. Does the tech stat carry over onto new weapons?A. When you disassemble a weapon, that shapestone retains half the tech statyou built up, and will carry over to the next weapon. Also, a higher tech statwill retain more of the original weapon's stats.

Q. What's with durability?A. Rather than replenish after a battle, durability is like a second HP bar.You can replenish it with items and by visiting the forge. Items used torestore durability are extremely common, and are often found in the variousdestructable objects and as battle rewards. You can also buy or create them inthe shop.

Q. Are the sidequests the same?A. Not really. Every day an old lady in the southwest part of the villagewill be missing a cat, and if you find it, she'll give you an item in return.Also, a small boy will be missing...something. Finally, every day you canfight the rampage rabbit you first encounter when you begin the game. Thesesidequests just give regular items rather than weapon techniques, but theytake very little time to do, and free stuff is free stuff.

Q. How do I Mono Shift?A. At a certain point in the game your gem will be recharged. When it is,you equip it to your guardian beast as an item and use it in battle. However,it only works once before it needs to be recharged again, so use with caution.

Q. What stats should I put points into?A. My personal preference is to boost strength and agi so that they're mostlyequal. Early on, it's best to raise strength and maybe a little defense, butlater on it becomes more important to have at least some agility, or you'll getsquished by bigger and faster bosses. However, when your agility starts goingover 200 total (base stats + equipment + weapon stats) you're pretty much able

to jump over everything in the game and run around like a ninja. Going from200 to 250 shows a slightly noticeable difference (you jump a little higher,move a little faster) but in practical terms, it's not a big improvement. Onceyou start topping 200 total agility, you don't really need to dump any morepoints into it, so just focus on strength and/or defense. Personally, I nevertouched defense after the first few parts of the game and I did all right. Ihad to heal a little more, but with the increased agility, I didn't get hit asmuch.

=============================================================================== 4. Walkthrough===============================================================================

------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4a. Prologue - Where Are We?-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'd like to know why the hell our hero(ine) is standing on the edge of whatappears to be a bottomless cliff. Ignoring that, follow the dialogue till youget to the next screen. Here you choose your guardian beast for the game, andyou won't have to do any crazy personality test first, either. Choose whoeveryou like, they're all pretty funny.

Follow along until you have control, then go downstairs. More cutscenes, thenyou'll have to go to monument square. It's the first path north after youleave the craft house. More scenes, then you can either wander around talkingto villagers or return to the craft house and make your first weapon. Dowhichever you like, there isn't much to get out of speaking with everyonebesides the dialogue. More cutscenes at the house, and you'll get your firstweapon. After even more text, you can have your first walk with yourguardian beast.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4b. Day 1: Let's Explore!-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The next day, go see Ryouga. He's at the house in the southernmost part of thevillage (just keep walking down stairs). Afterwards, return to where the gamefirst started and take the first left as you go north. More cutscenes abound,

and eventually you'll have to fight...a Tonka Tank? Whatever.

Easiest way to beat it is a three-hit combo and jump over it. Don't just standthere, because the shells it fires hit for a lot of damage. Once it's down,cue more cutscenes, and...holy Snapple!

Skipping ahead to when you regain control, you need to go back to monumentsquare. Afterwards, return to the craft house and remake your amateur knife.It doesn't matter what dialogue option you pick, the end result is the same.Eventually, you'll be free to go into the forest via the door on the west sideof the village.

Your objective here is pretty simple: get the sword shapestone from the chestin the first screen south. If you happen into any random battles, just becareful, since you only have the hammer. Go back and re-re-reforge theamateur knife to move on.

Return to the forest. On the first screen south, use L or R to change yourfield weapon to the sword and cut down the grass. On the next screen, grab theaxe shapestone from the chest. If you want, fight around for a bit till youencounter a Spirit. Defeat it for a charged ore, which will create a slightlystronger axe. Either way, return to the workshop and craft said axe to proceed.

Once more to the forest. On the second screen, chop down the trees to the westwith your new axe to proceed. You'll find a spear shapestone in the chestbehind more tree stumps. Go back and forge one. You should gain a newcraftknight rank, and the ability to disassemble weapons. Since your weaponinventory is limited in this game, this is a good thing.

Return to the forest one more time. Go back to where you got the spear andcontinue on. A Hound blocks your path. It's the same as all the dog monstersin the first game, so take it out and continue. Enter the wind fortress andexplore around for a cutscene. After more scenes, it's back to the workshop...again. Repair the broken sword (just select Repair, it does it automatically,no materials needed) and take it back.

Once you return the fixed sword, head out of the fortress by the north exit.Follow the path till you see a chest. Circle around and use the spear to pokeit open (don't ask how you get the item out, though). There's a slightly hiddenpath to the northwest. Through it you'll find three chests, one with a drill

shapestone! Go back and exit the screen to the southwest to continue. Hereyou'll find the blue recovery triangle, which will restore your HP (butnot your durability). Move along to the next screen, which will introduce youto your first boss battle!

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Grass Dragon + Kabuto x2 HP - 500 (+100)

This one can be tough if your durability's low. Try to ignore the Kabutos,the boss will continuously spawn new ones if you kill them. If you rush into attack the boss, he'll counter by spitting a cloud of poison. Either usea sword and take one swing, then jump away, or stop short, wait for the poisonto go away and jump in with the axe. The spear has the reach to get in pastthe poison, but it's weaker than the other two. Don't be afraid to use yourGuardian Beast if you need a heal, or if a weapon is about to break.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Afterwards, cue the reunion, then examine the grass on the east side of thescreen to cue another scene. When that's over, return to the wind fortress totalk with everyone. When that's all done, go back to the village. Visit thespot where you first met your guardian beast, and you'll find the Rampage Rabbitand a kid who is apparently its manager. You can fight the rabbit every day,and it'll be a little stronger each day. It's a good idea to fight it at theend of the day, as it does become much tougher and more aggressive on eachsuccessive day. Anyway, go back to the workshop and the day will come to anend. You can now visit Tatiana at the monument square on your nightly walks.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4c. Day 2: Seeking Out the Fortresses-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

View the cutscenes and head upstairs. Regardless of your choice, Tatiana willjoin you and you'll be off to the Wind Fortress. Before you go, check in withthe old lady and find her cat for a bandage. Also, the salesman will sell youan aqua ore for 300b. Buy it up and use it to craft whatever you like. I'drecommend disassembling your amateur knife and using the shapestone and aqua

ore to create a new weapon. Make whatever else you want, then go back to thewind fortress.

A new fortress, you say? Exit the wind fortress to the north and return towhere you fought the grass dragon. Climb down the vine and exit east. Hereyou'll find the entrance to the roaring cavern. Fight your way through to area3, where the path splits slightly. Take the southern path to find a rare medaland a recovery triangle, and fight around for a bit. Try to get to level 7-8or so. When that's done, move on to the next screen for a cutscene.Afterwards, choose to follow the...ghost? She'll lead you along until itbecomes apparent you need to find another route.

When you go back to the screen with the four-way crossroads, go south. On thisnew screen, head left and climb up to reach the chest that was behind the wallfor a new sword shapestone. Then go right and up the ladder. If you've forgeda drill, use it to break through the wall to reach a new axe shapestone and arare medal. You can also use the knuckles to punch around the boulder, butthere's nothing you can do with it. Return to the crossroads and go north.

Before you proceed further than the grass, make sure your weapons have enoughdurability left. You're about to go into a boss battle.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Black Swordsman HP - 450 Weapon - 150

Your first battle against a weapon user! He's not as tough as the grass dragon,to be honest, especially if you've played the first game. Just take in anyweapon and watch his movements. It's pretty basic stuff: dash in, attack, blockhis counterattacks, and keep moving. If you want to break his weapon, the bestmethod I've found is to just block and absorb his hits. He doesn't block veryoften, and it's a very slow process even with a drill. Heal yourself or useweapon shield if needed.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Afterwards, you'll be back at the workshop. You'll need to retrieve Tatiana,but before you do, repair your stuff and forge whatever you like. If you brokethe boss's weapon, disassemble your sword and use his beast crest to make a

stronger tusk saber. At this point you should be well-equipped to defeat therampage rabbit for the day, so head over and kick his bunny ass. Now go back ascreen and take the first left to find Lynn. Gee, I wonder what she's doingthere?

Anyway, after the scenes, return to the roaring caverns. Follow Nina to thenorth at the crossroads and just continue on the path. Once you emerge fromthe caves, you'll be right near a teleporter. Give it a whack and use theopportunity to return to the workshop and repair/rest/save. Return to theforest and take the teleporter to the water fortress. Make sure you have anenchant: element spell equipped to your guardian beast. Head inside and you'llfind yourself under attack.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Iron Horse HP - 600

Its biggest advantage is high defense and HP, but it's pretty predictable. Itcan shoot bullets across the screen, or fire a machine gun at the ground infront of it. It'll also jump and do a diving attack from the air, which iseasily blocked. Enchant your weapon with whatever element your guardian beastprovides (doesn't matter which) and give it a couple whacks, then dash/jumpaway. If you managed to craft a tusk saber, this'll be over very fast.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

After it's over, head to the next room and talk to Nina. Then return to thewind fortress and pick up Tatiana, and go back to the workshop. The day willend, and you can now visit both Gabriel and Lynn!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4d. Day 3: Summonite Ho!-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As the day begins, Orin will ask to see you by the waterfall. It's the placewith that big red scarf tied to a rock and blowing in the wind. Before you go,if you got the beast crest from the black swordsman, forge a drill with it.The special attack it has is ridiculously powerful. Anyway, go find Orin whenyou're ready. When you get there, there's trouble afoot!

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Orin HP - 600 Weapon - 180

This guy's not much tougher than the black swordsman, though be cautious,because your attacks won't daze him (i.e. you can hit him and he'll still windup an attack in the middle of your swing). He'll use a special attack, a wavebeam that drains his durability significantly and has a long range. If you wantto break his weapon, wait for him to use that attack and take his durabilitydown to 20-30 before blocking your way to victory.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Once that's over with, head to the water fortress. After the scene with Lynnand Nina (she's a ghost, she's not a ghost, make up your mind, lady!) exit thefortress to the north.

The Lost Woods? Nintendo's going to pitch a fit. Walk along till you find acave. Head inside and explore till you reach a chest with a blaze ore inside.Return to the woods, then go southeast. Ignore the first hole in the groundand go to the next screen, then jump in. Go north and head up the stairs andyou'll be back above ground. A little further on you'll find the next fortressand a warp point. Return to your workshop and repair/reforge if needed. Ifyou're at level 11-12, you can probably beat the rampage rabbit now as well.

When you're done freshening up, return to the thunder fortress. You'll begreeted by a mechanical defense force. It doesn't matter how you answer, youwon't fight yet. Instead, it's a much funnier outcome, especially if you'replaying as Aera! Watch the cutscene, and...go Super Saiyan! ...sorry.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Clock Knight HP - 1000

This battle is actually more reminiscent of Super Sonic. Your durability willslowly go down on its own in addition to your attacks and blocks. You'll usewhatever weapon you previously had equipped before this fight, and be unableto change to a different one. However, it's a very easy fight. Just do the

standard attack/block combo and try not to get attacked from behind. Also, donote you have a new special attack, conveniently named 'ultimate move.' It'lldo a wave attack that deals about 100-120 damage regardless of which weaponyou have, but it sucks up 20 durability per use. I like to use it as afinisher. ;)

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Enjoy the cutscene, more proof whoever translated this game was smokingsomething. And I want some. Anyway, retrieve the summonite gem from the backroom (it's the little sparkly thing in the righthand room) and go back to theworkshop. You'll need to find Orin, so go back to the woods and warp to thewater fortress. Enter the roaring caverns and go back to where you first metNina. After the scene with Orin and Bruno, warp to the water fortress and goto the back room for a scene with Lynn, the eternally horny.

Anyway, back to the lightning fortress. Install the third summonite and youcan finally leave by the back exit. In the forgotten woods, first go east tofind a rare medal, then north. You'll have another case of holes, but firstenter through the cave door and follow the path. You'll find another raremedal in the midst of some cave moss. Return to the surface and fall down thenorthern hole, then just walk along till you find the stairs going back up.

And through the woods we go! Keep moving till the path splits. North you'llfind a hole that will drop you back into the caves, but you'll appear near achest with a fist shapestone. You will, however, have to drop down and walkall the way back. To the south at the split, you'll run into Gabriel. Afteryou're done talking, go east till you reach a chest with a spear shapestone.Afterwards, exit north and keep going till you fall down a hole.

Head right. Here you'll find two boulders blocking two narrow tunnels. Punchthe west one till you can get through the horizontal passage and snag thegale ore from the chest. Leave and re-enter the room and punch the east rockso you can reach the stairs. Once on the surface, just walk along till youcome across another teleporter. If ever there were a time to go back andrest/repair, this would be it. If your rank is high enough to upgrade yourweapons, attach an aqua ore to the weapon of your choice to help with theupcoming battle. When you're ready, return to the fire fortress and headinside.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Durahan HP - 1280

There's a trick to this boss. Attacks made against his chest will do lessdamage, so you'll have to jump and hit his head. Play this one defensively.Make one attack and dash away (don't try jumping away, his sword has a bigrange). The best time to attack is when he raises his sword above his head.When he does this, he's preparing to slam it into the ground, but there's agood 2-3 seconds before he actually does it. If you have the enchant aquaspell, use it.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

With that out of the way, retrieve the summonite gem from the back room andreturn to the thunder fortress. For some silly reason you'll have to visitNina again, so head back there for a brief chat. Afterwards, return to theworkshop. After some shocking (not really) news, you can take another nightlywalk. Orin and Nina will now be on the list. Lynn continues to be horny.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4e. Day 4: I, Robot-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here we go again! Head out when the talking's done. Make sure to pick up afulgar horn from the salesman, and try forging a weapon or two. Go to theforest, but before teleporting to the thunder fortress, visit the water andfire fortresses. The salesman at the water fortress will give you spices youcan pass on to the woman who's been trying to cook curry for what seems like aweek now. The one at the fire fortress will sell you a leafwyrm thorn for 600b(he disguises it as a lecture). Take the spices to the crazy cooking lady, andtry your hand at the rampage rabbit before you go. It's not that much stronger,but it now wields a carrot. Scary.

When you're all set, go to the thunder fortress. After all the talking, youhave the option of recharging your gem (which you should do) and teleportingdown to the machine dungeon. Zap yourself on down, it'll be fun!

Go and explore. When you reach the first set of conveyor belts, ride acrossand hit the green glowy thing. Go right and ride the vertical belt down toa pair of chests, and then ride the conveyor to the left back to solid ground.Head down the nearby stairs to B2.

Down here, first head left and across the conveyor. Use the spear to stab the

crates as you go. Continue south via the belts for two chests, then ride backto where you started. Now take the southern conveyor belt once and then theone to the left. Drill through the cracked wall for a couple chests and a raremedal off to the right. Return to the beginning and take the south conveyortwice. Keep going till you find a door. Make sure your weapons have sufficientdurability and your summon beast is equipped with some good attack spells.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Charger HP - 1600

This guy's got some hard defense. Magic tears through it pretty well, though.If you're using Dinah, you can use splash and aqua tornado to kill him off.If not, you're in for a long fight. He has two apparent attacks, one being apunch he telegraphs by reaching back and charging up his fingers (ShiningFingers!). He also fires off a ball of electricity after charging both setsof fingers. They're easily avoidable, the only tough part is getting throughhis armor. If you're having trouble, Mono Shift and beat him up.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Unfortunately, after the battle you end up falling down a hole. When you wakeup...oh look...IT'S A GUNDAM!!!

I am eternally disappointed that no one thought to jump in and pilot it.Anyway, when the cutscene's over, head right. The left side's blocked off.Head up the stairs and use the recovery triangle, then go back down and walkthrough the door on the right to hit B4.

First off, take the middle vertical conveyor belt. Walk along till you reacha switch and a rare medal. Hit the switch and go back to the beginning. Takethe middle conveyor again and ignore the switch. Take the next belt to a chestwith a fulgur horn. Return to the start and take the middle belt again. Hitthe switch this time and take a ride on the same belt you came in on. Ignorethe conveyor to the right and go to the next screen.

Moving on to the next screen, you'll find a recovery triangle and anotherchapter of dungeon adventures. Don't bother reading it, just switch to thedrill and break the wall. Make sure you're ready for a fight before you go in.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Black Swordsman HP - 1000 Weapon - 200

He's much tougher than before, and he'll block a lot more often. However, it'snot easier to break his weapon, as his durability goes down very slowly.Otherwise, he does a spin attack that'll knock you back, and he'll use magicagainst you. Definitely be careful here, he can take out a lot of your HP veryquickly. The tornado attack is a little hard to avoid, but if you have a goodsword, you can do a combo, block through his attacks and combo again beforehaving to move. Magic works to a point, but you'd be better off saving acouple spells to heal yourself.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

After the battle, you'll be safe...for the moment. If your guardian beast hasthe escape spell, use it to be transported to the entrance. Once you do, dowhatever you need to and return to the workshop to end the day.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4f. Day 5: Disturbing On So Many Levels-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Craft up some new stuff if you want. If you got the beast king crest, use itto make a sword. The spin attack is ridiculously powerful if you use it whenyou're right on top of an enemy. Try to go to the forest to see this strangereveryone's talking about. After a short scene, you'll be on your way. Returnto the thunder fortress. After a brief chat with everyone, go to the back roomand speak with Bruno. Recharge your gem if needed and teleport to...???

Apparently it's the beach. Examine the glowing stone for another account ofdungeon adventures if you want. It just tells you the same as the last one:hit lots of switches. Move along till you encounter...a mermaid! Snazzy!Keep going to find...a pirate! He calls himself a treasure hunter, but he's noLocke. Hit the switch and follow him! There's a chest on the island he wason, but it's empty. Keep going till you find three colored switches. Firsthit the green one and follow the path to the next screen, where you'll find a

chest with sandstone ore. Go back and hit the red one and exit to the left.Take the leftmost path up to find two chests, and the rightmost path toproceed. Before going anywhere, hug the left side of the screen and exit thatway for a rare medal. When you're ready, go check out what's going on with thatbig blob of water.

Cue funniest sequence in the game (if you chose Aera). After it's over, go backto Bruno and teleport back to the fortress. After the ensuing cutscene, returnto the water elemental. Cue another funny scene, and this time you're in for afight.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Aqua Element HP - 2000

He's not too tough if you have a strong weapon. A sword tends to work best, asyou can do a standard combo/block maneuver. He does a short-range water bulletattack and causes geysers to come out of the ground, but you can stand betweenthe latter and block the former. He's actually one of the easier bosses yet.Must be due to heartbreak.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Just past the elemental is a recovery triangle. Use it and move on. You'llcome across another set of colored switches. The blue leads nowhere and thered just takes you to a bunch of bushes. Hit the green and take the upper pathfirst to spear a chest, then the lower to reach the next batch of switches.The blue leads to a bunch of crates and barrels to smash, the green leads to achest. The red takes you to the sword you're looking for.

Okay, I take it back, this is the funniest sequence in the game. The developershad to be drunk or high or both. Anyway, when you can move again, walk alongto meet Passeau again, and further are a red and green switches. Hit the redone to reach a chest, and the green to proceed. Smack the blue switch and keepgoing left across the platforms for a chest, then head north to find Queenieand Passeau again. Unfortunately, they also have a friend with them.

Lobsta Dragon HP - 3000

This definitely ranks up there on the "Oh bugger" meter. However, despite itlooking big and mean, it's fairly simple. Rush in, do a two-hit combo (threehits will get you smacked) and run away. It'll try to strike you with itsheads, or spit water globs at you, but they're pretty easily avoidable. Ifyou've saved your Mono Shift, bust it out and take this thing down quickly.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Afterwards, go back and grab the sword you came for. Escape and return to theworkshop after all the talking's done to end the day.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4g. Day 6: It's a...GUNVALD?-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Craft up some new weapons after the shaking is done, then head out. Check theitem shop and buy the diffusion device from the salesman before going to thegate. Hmm, unlucky day. Make your way through the talky-talks and back tothe woods. Stop by the wind fortress to check on the critters, then visitNina and Borgrim. Much trouble ahead, but something very promising results...

For future reference, you can now buy the hard shell item from the fisherman.Once you're able to upgrade a weapon with three items, put three hard shellson for the arm breaker special attack. It'll make breaking enemy weapons mucheasier.

Anyway, return to the village and talk to Rocky to get a kitty badge for runninghis errand. Beat the rampage rabbit if you haven't already. Head to the gateto pick up Orin so you can fix that Gundam! When the scene's over, return tothe thunder fortress and teleport down into the factory. Walk all the way backto the Gundam (falling down the hole is still the fastest way). Apparentlyit's called a...GUNVALD? Yeah, that won't have Bandai sending in the lawyers...

Head left and through the previously locked door when you're able. You'll bedown on B5. First head right and grab an axe shapestone from the chest, thenreturn and go south. Keep going till you find a cracked wall and drill itopen. The stairs down are to the northeast on the other side.

Go left and you'll come across three conveyor belts. Take the rightmost onedown and drill through the door you come across. Inside are two chests and arare medal off to the right. Return across the same belt and take the middlebelt. This one leads to some crates and another rare medal. Hit the switchand go back to start. Finally, take the leftmost conveyor. Walk along andride the next conveyor belt you come across and you'll eventually reach thedroid you're looking for. Unfortunately, he disagrees.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Scanner Eye HP - 3200

This guy's an easy kill if you have a decent weapon. The best way to get ridof him is to stand about at the maximum range of your sword and swing at him.He'll smash the ground and cause a very short-range shockwave which is easilyavoided if you take a couple steps back (or jump). He'll also fire a pair ofbullets which can be blocked, and do an aimed explosive shot which needs to beavoided. Both are pretty obvious, and if you keep the right range on him, he'llkeep on hitting the ground and damaging nothing. Feel free to Mono Shift onthis guy, you can recharge on your way out.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Once the droid's dead, head back to the GUNVALD to deliver the part. Onceagain you'll have to trudge back to Bruno to get out of here. When you reachthe surface, head to the village and speak with Toumei at the sealed gate. Forsome stupid reason you need to make a sword out of anti-demon ore...right.They cost 350p, so go fishing till you have the points. When you craft thesword, make sure to use a blank shapestone, one that hasn't been used to makeany other sword. When you hand over the weapon to Toumei, it becomes a questitem rather than an equippable weapon, so if you happen to use a shapestonethat has stats on it, it'll be lost forever. Talk to Toumei after he enchantsyour sword, and show him the red daemon gem. This does nothing for the moment.

Now return with the sword to Nina and Borgrim. What follows is quite possiblythe greatest battle of all time. I'm not even going to say anything about it.Have fun!

Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Blade Wing HP - 3400

This can be tough, because this guy's fast and his attacks can't be blockedfully. Aside from a standard stabbing with his tail, he'll dash across thescreen. Even if you block, it'll still do half damage. The best way to avoidit is, as soon as you see him rise into the air, run underneath and behind him.If your agility is high enough, you can jump over him, but it's tough if youhaven't been putting points in there. Mono Shift if you're having trouble, orspam attack spells and heal if you're getting hit too much.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Those sick bastards! They blew up the Gundam! Err, anyway, scenes a'plenty,and the day will end automatically.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4h. Day 7: Is it Cold in Here?-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Your first stop today is Tormei at the gate. After that, you've got yourmarching orders: find another daemon edge. Go to the thunder fortress and chatwith Bruno to be sent to the next dungeon. However, before going there, headto the subterranean bay and talk with Sarin. Rescue Bryan (he's on the sameisland you met him at) to get a shiny seashell. Take it to a woman in the village on the bridge by the waterfall to the left of the chief's house fora pair of enduro boots. Now go to the glacial gorge.

Head down till you run into a couple kids. After scaring them off, move onuntil you come across a big ice patch. Stand at the very top against thewall and walk diagonally down and to the right to hit a snowy patch in themiddle of the ice. From there, go right to reach a chest and a rare medal.After that, just take the upper or lower path to the next screen (they bothlead to the same place). Head right and you'll hear a voice. Depending onwhat kind of voice you say you heard (man or woman) you'll fight a differentboss.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Nesty (Man/Woman) HP - 1500/1400 Weapon - 250/150 Item - Hero's Badge/Mark of Courage

Nesty's weapon is determined by the way you answered, actually. If you chosemale, he'll use a big two-handed sword. If you chose female, he'll use asmaller shortsword and be much faster. The choice also affects what item hedrops if you break his weapon. Neither one is very difficult, and can bebeaten with a simple combo/block strategem. Granted, if you want to breakhis weapon, you'll have a much easier time if you answered a woman's voice,so go with that.

Note: Regardless of which option you pick, if you break his weapon, you'll beable to buy both boss items from the fish rewards list. However, the femaleone has a longer combo and thus can take you out a lot faster, so be careful.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Much misunderstandings ensue. Recover at the blue triangle and move on. Forthis next patch of ice, slide your way over to the snowline along the northwall, then slide down on the right side to hit another snow patch. From there,just go right to the next screen. Here, go right to the ice and slide right,up, left against the boxes and up again. Break the boxes from the top sideand go up to the next screen. After more misunderstandings, you'll fight atrio of regular monsters. Use an attack spell to defeat them quickly.

Afterwards, it's back a few screens to the "glacier." Drop off the kid andgo back where you found him. Use a diagonal movement to get through the finalice patch. Two screens later you'll be introduced to even more ice, andmultiple exits. The one second to the right has a bunch of barrels and threechests, while the second to the left and rightmost are connected, and lead toa rare medal and some things you can poke with your weapons. The leftmost exitwill take you on your way.

Walk along till you stop and say the daemon edge is nearby. Heal up and repairyour weapons, then go to the next screen. Why must we fight?

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Ice Golem HP - 4500

This thing's pretty slow and clumsy, but it hits hard. If you're close up,it'll either pound the ground or breathe ice that causes icicles to fall. Theice breath won't hurt you unless you jump into it, and if you stay put, theicicles will miss you. However, be ready for him to try and smash you. Histhird maneuver is really stupid. He grows a pair of wings, flies into the

air, hovers a few feet toward you and buttstomps the ground. Big deal. It'llstun you if you're on the ground when he lands, but he doesn't do anything inthat time, so it's not even a remotely dangerous move unless you intentionallywalk underneath to peek up his ass.

So...yeah, beat him up, Mono Shift if you want, etc.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Sweet potatoes are seventeen kinds of awesome! No, really. After retrievingthe sword, escape back to Bruno to get back to the civilized world. Head backto the workshop to end the day.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4i. Day 8: Over the Hill and Through the Woods-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

More trouble awaits as you greet the new day. Gabriel will be in bad shape,but enough about him! You're after Passeau! Make sure you fight the rampagerabbit (if you want) before you go exploring. When you're ready, warp to thewind fortress and exit north. Head through the woods till you run into thebody snatcher herself. She'll conjure up a friend for you to play with.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Death HP - 5200

Despite the name, he's not that scary. His three attacks are a simple swingof his scythe, creating a void sphere in front of him and launching a floatingwill-o-wisp. The first two are easily avoidable simply by getting out of theway (blocking reduces damage to half, so only do that if you're not quickenough). The will-o-wisp travels across half the battle map, but you can easilyjump over it.

The trick to this boss is agility. I was able to take it out simply by jumpingback and forth over it and doing airborne sword swings at its head. Completelydodged his scythe attacks and didn't even trigger his other two until I stoodaround and waited for him to do something. I actually pulled a flawlessvictory out of my ass simply by jumping around like I had a pogo stick up mybutt.

If your agi isn't high enough to leap over tall monsters in a single bound,just resort to the standard attack/run away tactic, and throw in some magic ifneeded. Simplistic, I know, but it's not a complicated boss.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

After the taunting and whatnot, return to the village posthaste. Upon arriving,you're given the silent treatment. Well, fine! Screw you ingrates! I neverwanted to save the world anyhow!

Err...I mean, go to the workshop to get an explanation. Yeah, they're allidiots. Just because you've been busting your ass to save the world all thistime means you're secretly in league with the forces of evil. Oh, the humanity!

All sarcasm aside, you won't get any answers sitting around. Rest/repair/saveand head out! Warp back to the wind fortress. In the same place you foundPasseau will you also find the black swordsman. And damned if he's gettingaway without a fight!

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Black Swordsman HP - 1650 Weapon - 250

Among his attacks his time is a spinning dash, alongside a magic tornado. He'llalso enchant his weapon with wind, making him hit that much harder. But hestill has a relatively low amount of HP, and if you break his weapon, you getnothing for it. Fight him as before, and Mono Shift if you want a real epicbattle. ;)

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

This time the mask will fall off and reveal the Black Swordsman as...!

Yeah, like I'd really tell. Anyway, after all the hubbub a path to the southwill be revealed. Head down into a brand-new part of the forest. Walk onescreen east and one south. Here there will be a hole in the midst of sometrees. Walk up to it and snag the rare medal on the ground, but don't falldown. Go one more screen east. Here there are two holes, one in the treesand one to the north. Fall down the northern hole first and smack open thechest. Go left one screen, then south. Punch the rock out of the way andgo left to find a cracked wall. Drill through it.

Here you'll find a rare medal up and to the right as soon as you enter, and a

couple chests to the left. Leave, go back the way you came and head left tofind the exit. There will be another cracked wall just above the ladder.Return to the screen with the two holes and fall through the one in the trees.Follow the path till you reach a dead end (don't fall down the waterfalls) anddrill through the wall. Head through the opening and just keep walking.Eventually you'll hit the surface, and a little further on you'll find anold...friend?

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Orin HP - 1700 Weapon - 250

He's actually not that tough, as long as you block anything he throws at you.His weapon doesn't hit for very much unless he tries to 'drill' you, and due toits short range, if you use a weapon like a sword, spear or axe, you can hithim at max range and avoid retaliation easily. The really hard part is, ofcourse, breaking his weapon. At 250 durability and a drill, no less, it'lltake quite a while.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Not ten seconds after you knock some sense into this kid you're thrust intothe fray once more!

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Gedharm + Gedharm Gunner HP - 1700/1500 Weapon - 260/NA

Hey, two on one isn't fair! Not to mention the gunner is a real pain the ass.You can beat Gedharm without touching the gunner, but it's annoying to have itshooting at you. It'll frequently splash shells across the battlefield bothin front and behind it, but they're easily avoidable. The problem is, whenit does this, the background darkens and it counts as casting a spell, so youcan't hurt it. Get in close to make it counterattack with a fist or shortshots rather than the spell and take it out as fast as you can. Once it'sgone, Gedharm is just a slightly stronger version of the previous battle.However, don't let up on him even for a second! If he gets time to castspells, he can resurrect the gunner. This is easily interrupted by attackinghim, so don't let up. The item he drops for breaking his weapon is the sameas Orin's, so if you got it in the last fight, don't bother breaking it againthis time.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

With all that messy business out of the way, make your way back to the village.Hurray, the townsfolk aren't stupid anymore! Return to the workshop and theday will come to a close.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4j. Day 9: Ninjas! Ninjas Everywhere!-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Apparently you're just now getting around to saving Bruno, ignoring the factthat he's been in danger since yesterday. Anyway, head out, do whateversidequests need doing (beaten the rampage rabbit lately?) and warp to thethunder fortress. After a lot of chatter, you'll warp to the oni hot springs.If you showed Toumei your red daemon gem a couple days earlier, he'll give youa second one to use as you please.

Walk around, smashing stuff up, till you get to an area which is periodicallyfilled with steam, obscuring your view. Go up the ladder (wait for the steamto fade if you can't see) and head left to find the source. Smash the geyserwith your hammer to stop it (wait, is that even physically possible?) and snagthe nearby rare medal. Go back downstairs and open the chest, then exit to theright. Keep walking till you find a nude woman. I'm not kidding.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Kuuya + Kohina HP - 1750/1700 Weapon - 150/130

What's with all the two on one? Just so you know, if you break both theirweapons, you get two different items. However, it's not that difficult to doboth of them. They have certain special attacks that drain off theirdurability. Kuuya will do a dragoon-esque jump attack if you stand far enoughaway from him, and Kohina will do a quick strike. Each one drains 10 durabilityper use, and they use them fairly often. This is actually one of the fewbattles I recommend breaking weapons, since they do most of the work for youif you're patient.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Afterwards, recover and head right. Take the first path up and smash thegeyser, then go left from there to get a couple chests. Exit right. Hug thebottom of this next screen to find a set of stairs going down. The geyser isnearby and to the right. Snag the rare metal and head up to the next screen.Here, go up past the stairs, then right and down another set of stairs to findthe geyser. Go back up and left. Drop down via the waterfall for the chest,then exit down. Keep going till you run into Kohina again. After a briefconversation, hit the next screen for the final daemon edge. And yes, youguessed it, you won't get it easily!

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Shaman Monkey HP - 6700

I've always wondered what the obsession was about monkeys on monk's clothing.Depending on your distance, he'll either do an uppercut, throw his beads atyou, or cast a spell and cause...poison cherry blossoms to fall from the sky.O-kay. When he looks like he's casting a spell, quickly run and jump behindhim to avoid being hit. When he whips his beads out, jump back instead ofrunning, you won't make it. If you stay at max sword range and combo/jumpback, he should do almost nothing but swing his beads.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Afterwards, you'll return to the hot spring...without the daemon's edge. What,you couldn't just carry it on your back or something? Run back and get it, andonce again, you're interrupted...

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Ryouga HP - 2500 Weapon - 150

Like the siblings, he has a special attack that drains his durability. It's arapid-fire combo that's exceptionally damaging, and to make matters worse, hisweapon continuously restores durability during the battle. The best way totrigger the special attack is, of course, to get in close and hope he uses it.I had the most success running at top speed either right past him or right infront and jumping over him. If breaking his weapon gets to be too annoying,just beat him up like any other fist weapon user.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Fortunately, after this battle you're at least partially transported back tothe beginning. Halfway, at least. Use escape and return to the thunderfortress, then to the workshop to end the day. Be careful who you choose towalk with tonight, it will mean the difference for the ending. It also affectsthe course of events for the next day.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4k. Day 10: The Final Chapter-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Regardless of who you walked with the day before, your guardian beast willwander off. Technically this will count as a day, so if you've been doing themini-quests (the cat lady, the boy who can't hold onto his stuff) then makesure to check in with them, because they will give items for finding theirthings. If you chose someone other than your Guardian Beast, go to meet withthem (if it's someplace outside the village, you'll automatically go there andback for once). If you chose your Guardian Beast, they'll be at the monumentsquare, so snag them and enjoy the next few scenes. When the next day begins,there's more trouble afoot. Like that's anything new.

When you're free to move, get going toward Nina's place. Head right two screenswhen you're able to find Toumei. The crafting item you'll need is a vortex crabclaw, which you can find off monsters on the beach. When you've crafted thevortex sword, take it to Tormei at the fishing pond and then head for the woods.You'll automatically be taken to the thunder fortress, where Passeau waits.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Passeau + Bone Knight HP - 1500/1200 Weapon - 270/NA

Like the Gedharm Gunner, the bone knight is really only there to make thingsdifficult. It's much easier to kill, though. It does have a massive spinattack, so watch out for that. Passeau is an easy kill, so if you're going tobreak her weapon, you'll have to be patient. The item given for breakingPasseau's weapon (and any future boss items) won't show up on the fishing list,so be very careful how you use them.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Well, glad that's taken care of. Return to the workshop. The daemon edges areright where you left them. Examine the lower-right side of your bed (if youclimb into bed, you're not low enough) to retrieve them. Head back upstairs tolearn how to get in to seal Goura, then head for the gate. But before you canactually get on your way, it's round 2!

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Ryouga HP - 3000 Weapon - 180

He's the same as before, but with more HP and durability. He'll do the samesort of special move, which drains 20 durability per use. If you're going tobreak his weapon, dash in close and jump away at the last second to make himuse it until he gets down to about 20-30 durability. After that you'll haveto break it normally. If you're not trying to break his weapon, it's a mucheasier fight.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Afterwards...plot twists! You'll end up back at the workshop. Go downstairsand talk to Blaire. Despite warnings to the contrary, go right back to thegate. Unfortunately, some big know-it-all thinks he's better than you.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Blaire HP - 2500 Weapon - 260

Ah, an axe user, how novel. His special move is a tornado spin attack, andit's quite painful. You can jump over it with very high agi, but otherwisejust block through it or run away. Otherwise, it's the same as any otherbattle with a non-monster boss. You can dash in, block his initial swing andcombo him before he knows what's coming. Repeat that and don't let up on himwhen he's low on health, otherwise he'll heal himself.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Return to the workshop to rest/repair/save. If you broke Blaire's weapon, use

the item to craft something, as it'll be the strongest weapon you can create atthis point of the game. When you're ready, head back to the gate. Step throughthe glowy part to reach the labyrinth.

Bust the crates on either side of the room, then use the knuckles to punch therocks out of your way. Go down the stairs and follow the path till you find acouple more boulders. Punch them both straight up onto the tiles with the eyesto open the way forward. Keep going till there's a split to the right with atrio of floating scanners...or something. Head down that way for a bunch ofboxes and a couple chests. Return to the scanners and go down to find...something even stranger. Apparently it's either red ice or some sort ofslippery strawberry Jello.

Anyway, you can't do anything here, so stand at the very top-left corner of theJello and slide right. You'll end up at a spiky-looking hole in the ground.Fall through and you'll land in a maze. Go up and take the first right for twochests. Return and go left, then take the next right to get to the next screen.Here, go up and then take the first path down to the maze to pick up a raremedal. Go back up and take the leftmost route down. Follow the road and you'llend up back on B1, behind the rock near the Jello. Punch it all the way up,then slide right. Punch the second rock up until it's on the edge of the redstuff. Slide left, up, right, and punch it in front of the eye tile. Slidedown and back up behind it to knock it onto the switch. Head back down to B2.

Go left to find a recovery triangle. Slide up via the leftmost patch of redJello, then slide right and down to the boulder. Punch it down through thetunnel till you can slide left. Slide up to two chests, then down the rightside to a safe spot. Finally, slide up the middle tunnel to reach the stairs.

As soon as you hit B3, head around the left corner and go downstairs for arare medal. Go back up to B3 and fall down the southern of the two holes.Keep walking till you find another pair of holes. Go south past them both andgo down the stairs for a chest in the lower-right corner. Return upstairs andfall down the left hole. Head left to find the stairs going up.

Immediately fall down the hole to the right. Grab the chest and punch the rockout of the way, then go back up the stairs. Now fall down the left hole. Whatfollows is a series of holes and stairs you have to climb up and fall down

respectively. Wait...strike that, reverse it. Anyway, when you get a messagesaying you're close to Goura, take the path up for a pair of chests, then climbthe stairs. Fall down the first hole to the right and go back up for a chest,then fall down again. Take the first set of stairs you see to the right, thenfall down the hole to the south. Walk along till you see a hole to your leftand a boulder to your right. Punch the boulder away and go right, then downto finally reach the stairs leading to Goura.

Well, almost. First go up to the door (ignore the switches for the moment)to have another seizure, and receive a clue. The solution is as follows:the switches are numbered 1-5 left to right. You need to activate switches1, 3, 4. So the leftmost, the middle and the one to the right of the middle.Head through the door down to B5.

And here we have a rock puzzle! It's really very simple. Go right, up,right, up, right to the next opening (don't punch it against the wall!) thenup till it's directly left of the two red crystals that are right on top ofeach other. Punch it right to those crystals, then up five spaces (so it's onespace away from the wall and you can get above it). Punch it onto the Jello,then start heading down till you can slip in to the next rock. Punch it outof the way and go up through the door. Make sure all your weapons and HP aremaxed out.

Watch the cutscenes. When you get to the point where you can choose to unsealthe daemon edges or signal your guardian beast, give the signal and watch whatappears over its head. When a ! appears, don't give any more signals, justunseal the swords. Just before the last one is unsealed, help arrives!Unfortunately, you have to deal with Miss Pris yourself.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Spoiler Boss (A) HP - 3500 Weapon - 300

Just because I'm finicky about this sort of thing. Anyway, I don't know whatthe hell kind of weapon she's using, but I want one! Like other bosses, she'lltrigger a special attack that drains durability, but as you can see, she has alot of it. Fortunately, it doesn't regenerate. Be very, very careful how youfight here, because her weapon has a crazy range on it. Think of your spear's

poking range, but with the arc of a sword. Yeah, like that. Whatever you do,do not get hit by her special attack, as it'll take off 700-800 HP depending onyour defense. If you happened to break Blaire's weapon and forged somethingwith it, it should have the Arm Breaker special ability. Use that to get herweapon down to zero, but if she has the weapon protect spell active (i.e. herweapon is glowing) wait for it to go away before beating her down.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Plot twists upon plot twists...sorta. Anyway, this next battle is impossibleto win. You do 1 damage regardless of your weapon and stats, and he has 12800HP. Just equip knuckles if you have them (for the agi boost) and dodge hisattacks. Eventually, the battle will end automatically. Just don't die,it'll mean game over.

After more cutscenes, head back to the workshop. Use the Gem of Light to forgethe weapon of your choice (it doesn't have to be a sword). Also, if you want acomplete weapon techniques list, you can craft something from the Gem of Light,disassemble it, and get a new one from Glacier Gorge. You'll find it at thevery end, at the crystal formation where the daemon edge used to be. You cando this for every weapon type, and this only works during this stage in thegame. Once you beat Goura, the crystal formation stops giving out Gems ofLight.

When you've crafted the weapon of your choice, head back upstairs. Apparently,the contingency plan for the village is to die of asphyxiation in space ratherthan be killed by Goura. Anyway, with the noble weapon in hand, head back tothe gate. Speak to the bot to teleport (almost) directly to Goura. Head upto initiate the final battle.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Goura HP - 12800

Now this is a whopper of a battle. Don't worry about durability, your weaponwill continuously regenerate like Ryouga's. However, it won't regenerate ifyou Mono Shift. Goura is the same as he was in the 'hopeless' battle, with thesame attacks: a charge, a pounce, and a stab with a couple of the swordsfloating around him. Stay mobile, and hopefully you have enough agility to

jump over him during the charge (and for pretty much all of the fight). Sinceyou lose durability during Mono Shift, save it for the last 5000 HP or so andjust use your Guardian Beast to heal if needed before then.

Anyway, when he paws at the ground, he's about to charge, so jump over himimmediately and run back to him to get in a quick combo while he reorientshimself. He'll hunch up a little when he's about to pounce, and he'll try tostab you with the swords if you're close up. Otherwise, he's big, slow andclumsy, and his only real advantage is his HP.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Cue more cutscenes! Not to spoil anything, but this is where you really goSuper Saiyan. And of course, because no RPG boss since FF4 has ever had lessthan two forms...

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Goura HP - 40000

No, that HP count is not a typo. This Golden Mono Shift not only lets yourweapon regenerate durability, but you'll also hit much, much harder. Goura inthis form has several elemental attacks, which you've probably seen used byyour more human opponents earlier in the game. Tornadoes, water geysers, ameteor shower, and a rain of swords, all designed to ruin your day. The colorof the swords is the key to their attacks. Green brings a tornado, red iseither a ball of fire on the ground in front of him (which you can easily avoid)or the meteors, purple is a series of lightning bolts from the sky, and blue isthe water geysers. Rather than jump through him to avoid his attacks, dashthrough him and you should avoid most of his spells entirely.

Frankly, this fight is more fun than difficult. You have full access to yourGuardian Beast abilities (attack spells WILL work against him), and becauseyour durability regenerates, you can spam your ultimate move special attack.Just have at him, and heal when needed.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Aaaand the game gets even more silly. Anyway, watch the cutscenes, and the...uh...pantomime, I guess. Regardless, congratulations! The main game is nowcomplete! Enjoy the credits, save your game, and prepare for the next set ofbonus dungeons!

=============================================================================== 5. Bonus Dungeons===============================================================================

A quick note before we begin. The bonus dungeons have to be done in order, asyou'll only find the item to access the next dungeon by defeating the boss ofthe previous one. Secondly, the items dropped by the bosses can be acquired asmany times as you like. Simply leave and re-enter the dungeon, and the bosswill respawn.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5a. Goura Labyrinth-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As you saw from the ending, you'll have to go all the way back to where Gourawas to access the lower levels. Refer to the previous section if you needdirections. When you finally reach B6, slide diagonally along the red Jello toreach the chests and the stairs leading down to B7. Take either one, they leadto the same place.

Down here there will be three boulders, one to the left, right and middle.Punch the middle one to the right a couple times, then punch the rightmost oneleft, up, right, up, left, and up to the switch. Now punch the middle boulderall the way right and go to the leftmost rock. Punch that one up, right, up,left and up to the switch. Head down to B8.

Here, utilize diagonal movements to reach the safe spots in the middle of theJello and slide over to a small alcove to the left to get a rare medal and atyrant soulstone in a chest. Head right to find the stairs to B9.

This here's another maze. Go left, take the second path up, then left and thesecond path up again for the first chest. Go back down and head right as soonas the road splits, then up. In area 2, go left at the intersection for thesecond chest (no splits on this route). Return to that crossroads at area 2and go up to find a rare medal, then down to return to area 1. Head backaround to get to area 2 again. Loop back around once more for the third chest.From there, go all the way up and left when you can. You should spot arecovery triangle behind a wall. Bust through the crates and heal yourself up.Use an anywhere diary if you want, just in case. Head down.

B10 is pretty simple. At the split, right will be a chest and left is the wayforward. In area 2, the left and right paths will lead to the respectivechests you see on either side of you. Pick them up if you want and take themiddle stairs down to B11. Make sure everything is at max durability and you'refully healed.

Here, you'll find one hell of a boss.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Death Reaper HP - 22000

Nice HP count. He's almost exactly the same as the Death boss, except withfour times the HP. He'll do the same will-o-wisp and void rift attack, butinstead of simply swinging his scythe, he'll charge at you. This is easilyavoided by just jumping over him after a combo. If you still have your nobleweapon, I'd highly recommend using it just due to the longevity of this fight.Like the previous Death boss, if your agility is high enough to make sport ofhis dash attacks, just keep jumping over him and hitting him in the head withyour weapon of choice. It'll take a while, but it's the safest way consideringhow often he charges.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Upon his (ha-ha) death he'll drop an onyx lifestone, and you can take the itemsfrom the chest he was guarding, including a startup switch. This will be usedto access the next bonus dungeon. Cast escape and get on to the next dungeon!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5b. Ruined Factory-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As with before, you'll have to walk down to the bottom level. Your destinationis where you fought that crazy robot for the GUNVALD part earlier in the game.Once down there, you'll find the scanner eye and a little Tonka tank that triesto blow up the factory. Examine the little console near the tank to extend thebridge leading to the lower floors of the factory.

Whack the teleporter and head down. Ride across the conveyor belt and go up and

around to the vertical belt. Ride it down to area 2. Take the first beltright, then go left over the next two belts to reach a chest. Ride the nearbyconveyor to area 3. Already there's a blue recovery triangle! Anyway, headdown and go right at the intersection to area 4.

Here, ride the vertical conveyor up and hit the switch, then go back and ridethe horizontal one to a rare medal and a chest. Hit the switch to return andgo back to area 3. Go up at the previous intersection. Here, follow theconveyors till you reach a switch. Hit it and return to the beginning, thenjust ride the belts till you reach area 5. Just head forward to reach B8.

Whew, big factory. Take the right conveyor belt down, then go up the left oneonce and ride the belt to the right. Just keep going along the belts till youhit area 2. Once there, hop down the first conveyor belt and whack the chestfor an onyx lifestone. After that, there's only one path to take till youreach area 3 and the boss.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Satellite Eye HP - 32000

Yeesh. This boss has the same moves as his color swap, he just hits muchharder. Stay mobile, as he'll smash the ground and create a small shockwavearound him that'll hurt you if you're nearby. The aimed shot and bullets areeasily avoided and blocked respectively. This boss is actually easier thanthe reaper, since he doesn't charge you and actually lets you manage a fullcombo occasionally.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Your prize for this one is a mechanical box, and a water bell from the chests.Bash the switch and make your way out of the factory. Next stop, SubterraneanBay!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5c. Subterranean Bay-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Once again you'll have to go to the very end of the dungeon. When you do, holdthe water bell up to the waterfall to open the way to area 16. Hit theteleporter and head up to area 17.

Whack the red switch to reach a pair of chests. The green and blue both leadto a second set of switches. Hit the red one again to find a rare medal, thengo down to area 18. Keep going till you find another batch of switches. Smackthe green and left and up to reach area 19. Here, hit the red switch and keepwalking till you find a second set. Bonk the green switch to reach area 20,but before you exit, hit the last blue switch to reach a chest with a mechanicalbox inside.

Getting closer, at least. Activate the green switch and go right first for achest. Now go left and hit the blue switch, then follow the path it createsto find the red switch. Whack that and you'll create a bridge near the blueswitch leading to the boss.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Lobsta Supreme HP - 42000

Yep, you guessed it, it's the same as the lobsta dragon way back when, exceptwith more HP and more power. He'll try to take a bite out of you with hisheads, and fire a stream of bubbles at you. When he does the latter, quicklyjump over him and you can get a free combo without retaliation. This is mostlyjust a very long battle, not really difficult per se. As long as you haveweapon shield ready to go, patience will win the day.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Your reward from the chest is the Snowmelt Powder, and the boss will drop a CatPaw Figurine. The latter makes weapons with pretty hefty agi bonuses, andgives a whopping 30 agi to a weapon if used as an upgrade. I'd recommendreturning and getting a few more, they're pretty nice in combination with itemsthat give high str and def, but bring a penalty to agi. Our next fabulousdestination will be Glacier Gorge!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5d. Glacier Gorge-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Same song, different verse. Back to the daemon's edge hiding place. Examinesome cracked icicles to the right of the crystal formation that gives out spareGems of Light to break through.

In area 15, you'll have to do a diagonal slide up and to the right to reach theexit. About in the middle of the ice there's an indentation of snow. That'swhere you slide from. Go up to area 16. Here, stand near the rightmost patchof ice and slide diagonally up and right. You should come to a stop against abit of the wall. Hold right and press down to slide right to the exit.

In area 18, slide down on the left side of the ice to reach a recovery triangleand a rare medal. Go back up and slide down on the right side, using the cratesas a guide. Go down to area 19. Here, walk down till you see a couple treestumps near the ice. Stand directly beneath them and walk right to get thechest. Go back and stand above the trees and slide right, then down, thendiagonally up and left to reach area 20.

Slide diagonally up and right to get a rare medal, then up and left to reach thechests, then stand on the very edge of the ice and walk up till you end upsliding right. Go up, left, down, left, then hold up to slide diagonally intothe exit. In area 21, you can either go up or down, they both lead to the sameplace. For 22, slide to the small island with the grass and over to the chestwith a cats paw figurine. Slide down to another island, then diagonally downand right, then up to area 23. Make sure you're fully recovered.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Ice Doll HP - 52000

Exactly the same as the ice golem, i.e. big, slow and stupid. Stay in close toavoid being stabbed by the falling icicles from its frost breath, and be readyto back away when it tries to...clap you. Be sure to use enchant flare for thisfight, it makes it so much faster. Also, whenever he flies up and attempts tobuttstomp you, stay a few paces away, otherwise the shockwave will cause a hugeamount of damage. It doesn't have a big range, but if you're right next towhere he lands, it'll hurt.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

This time you'll pick up an unlock talisman and aqua ring from the chests, andthe boss will provide an angel ice statue. On to the final dungeon!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5e. Oni Hot Springs-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

All the way to the end again. Stop and talk to Kohina and Kuuya. It'sstartlingly incestuous! Aaaaanyway, moving on. Break down the cracked walland smack the teleporter, then go up to area 18. Ignore Toumei, he's not doinganything special.

Up here, keep going until you pass the first waterfall. Along the southernpart of the cliff will be a row of bushes blocking some stairs. Head down thestairs to find the geyser causing the steam, along with a rare medal. Go backup and fall down the waterfalls to the right for a couple chests. Go south forarea 19. Just walk along the non-steamy path to area 20.

More steam, great. Go up the stairs to the left and carefully make your wayright. Don't get caught in the water. When the path splits, head down to bashthe geyser, then open the chests before going up to the next screen. The nextcouple areas are straightfoward, just keep going till you hit the steam.

In area 23, the geyser is all the way in the northmost part of the area. Onceyou clear out the steam, there's two routes. Go right first to area 24. Thegeyser here will be to the right, and there's a rare medal and a pair of chestsin the northeastern and northwestern corners of the map. Now return to area 23and go left. Here you'll find the final optional boss.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Monkey Extreme HP - 62000

It just keeps getting better and better, huh? As with the previous monkey, hewill claw you if you're up close, swing his beads at you (and his range is verylong) and cast a spell that causes cherry blossoms to fall across the screen.The best place to be when he does the latter is behind him. Like the others,this is more long than overly difficult, unless your weapons are underpowered.Enchant aqua works well here, as does any water-based attack spells you mayhave available.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

The monkey drops a bushido scroll, the most powerful crafting item available.You'll also get a rare medal, and in the chests behind him are a flare braceletand...another bushido scroll. That's it for bonus dungeons, but not quite itfor the game. Read on!

=============================================================================== 6. New Game+===============================================================================

Yes, that's right, you can use your saved data to start a new game with manythings carried over. Here's what you keep:

* Craftknight rank* Techniques* Bestiary* Stored weapons* Money* Fishing points

Now, before you start your new game, go to the fire fortress. See those fiveopen chests in the back room? Those will store five weapons of your choice tobe picked up in your new game. Among the five, I'd recommend crafting oneweapon specifically with the arm breaker special ability (upgrade a weapon withthree hard shells) in case you missed breaking a boss's weapon this time around.If you didn't (or if you don't care about having a complete techniques list)just craft up five of your choice, upgrade them with whatever you like and stickthem in the chests.

Bear in mind you won't retain any items you got the first time around. Thisincludes crafting materials, consumables, equipment, rare medals, etc. Youalso won't start the new game with your stored weapons. You'll have to reachthe fire fortress legitimately before you can pick them up.

=============================================================================== 7. Mini-Quests===============================================================================

I say mini-quests because they have no real bearing whatsoever on the game,they're just there for free items. They can be done starting on the first day(the day after you first meet your Guardian Beast, and after you visit Goura's

Gate for the first time). For each of these quests, you have to speak to theperson involved before you can start it (i.e. you must talk with the little boybefore you can return his lost item).

Note: For day 10 with the cat lady and the lost boy, the day where your guardianbeast wanders off will be when they give you the best reward, but you can dothe same quests the next day (when you go to seal Goura) and get a regular item.

An old woman's cat will be out and about. The key to finding said cat istalking to the dog which is standing behind her house on a little hill. He'llbark a clue as to the location of said cat.

Every day there will be a boy around town who's lost something (it's never saidexplicitly what). That item will always be where he was standing the previousday. Just wander around the general area spamming the A button to find it.Your final reward will be a water ring.

Day 1 - In his house, south of the barrel.Day 2 - Outside the cat lady's house.Day 3 - Across the bridge to the left of the item shop, near the southernweathervane.Day 4 - Near the transshift monument, south of the fence on the left side ofthe stairs.Day 5 - To the left of the curry lady's house on the road.Day 6 - To the left of Ryouga's house, between it and the stairs.Day 7 - Outside the cat lady's house again.
