- choice to save or the bottom to warp. If you select save choose the slot
- and place to save. If you choose warp you can choose to warp to other

- 7. Leveling up Character, Weapons, & Elementals
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Character
- To level up your character you have to kill enemies. Enemies give you a
- certain amount of exp. When you get enough you go up a level. Now that
- same enemy will give you less exp. So say at level one an enemy gives you
- 10 exp. At level 2 he might only give you 8 exp And so on as you go up more.
-
- Weapon
- To level up your weapon you have to find a certain amount of ore. It tells
- you how much you have and how much you need in your stats. When you reach
- enough you have to go to a blacksmith and he'll strengthen your sword.
- Before you can use the blacksmith you have to find him. He is in a cave.
- Once you find him, he'll be in every town.
-
- Elementals
- To level up your elementas you have to find gems that correspond to their
- elements. Red is fire, Blue is Water, Purple is wind, Green is Earth.
-
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- 8. Elementals
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Elementals can do two things for you. First they allow you to use
- magic and second they give your sword special properties. The moves to use
- the magic are in the moves part of this faq. If you level up the elemental
- their magic powers get stonger. They give your sword special properties by
- giving it the elementals powers. For example if you have the Fire elemental
- equipped you will do more damage on water enemies. Here's how it goes:
-
- Fire is strong on Water
- Water is strong on Fire
- Earth is strong on Wind
- Wind is strong on Earth
-
-
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- 9. Walkthrough
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- You start in a town I call Hometown. Your name is Ars. First there
- will be a little sequence after that go up into the caves and make your way
- to the top floor. Talk to the lady up there then make your way back down to
- the entrance to the cave were a statue is at. These statues are your save
- points. Now go up from there. If the door is still blocked you didn't talk to
- the right person. Now a sequence will take place. When it's done you have to
- find Shina (the girl that was with you before). She's on the first floor in
- her room. Remember this room because you'll be back. Another sequence will
- take place. Now you can leave the town. When you leave the town go left
- first and explore the caves. In one cave it will look like it's empty but
- you'll see a path leading up to the wall. Bomb this wall and go in the hole.
- Get the item from the treasure chest. I don't know what this does but take
- it anyway. Now explore this area, get a few items, and gain experience. When
- your done go back to town and save. Next head out of town and go left. Go
- through this cave and keep going until you reach Shina. Save every chance
- you get. Keep a look out for cracks in the walls you can bomb them. Also you
- can destroy bars with bombs. You can find a fire gem, Ring DEF+15% and
- more. When you meet Shina a sequence will follow then you'll fight the
- first boss. One important thing to know about fighting bosses is that you
- can't change items while your fighting them so prepare before hand. Don't
- attack the boss instead attack the gem behind him. Stay away until he
- starts breathing fire then attack. When you defeat him you'll get the fire
- elemental Fueria and a sequence will follow in which you'll meet Preluda.
-
- Leave town and go straight down through the fences and keep going
- down the mountain and through the caves. There is a lot of items around
- this area so explore it. In the caves you'll find some locked doors. To
- open the first one just move four rocks onto four switches. To open the
- second one you have to swing your sword at the torches on the walls to make
- the flames go out. You'll have to come back to this cave later so remember
- its location. When you make all the way down the mountain keep going down
- until you reach the boat town. First save the game then go back up and head
- left. Keep going as far left as you can go and head up to a cave. Search
- through the cave and you'll enter a room where all the doors lock you in.
- To open the bottom door light the urn by placing a bomb near it. To open
- the other doors kill all the enemies in the room. In one of these rooms
- you'll find the BLACKSMITH! Now you can upgrade your sword in any town.
- More items await you in the other caves so explore them then go back to
- the Boat town. Now take the bottom exit out of town. Now you'll be on the
- docks. Search for a statue of a woman(not a save point) and a magic circle.
- Push the statue into the magic circle. Now go up out of the docks and try
- and go up out of the Boat town. You'll be warped back to home town and a
- sequence will follow. Then you'll be attacked by Soldiers. After you defeat
- the soldiers head back to the boat town and to the docks. Now you can go
- from the docks to the riverbed. Follow the river bed until you reach the
- Water Palace. In there you'll find a few puzzles which are easily solved.
- In this palace is the grappling hook. You'll use it here a few times.
- If you see little holes in the ground run over them quickly because spikes
- come up. If spikes block your way look use switches, plates or light urns.
- If bombs or urns are in the distance equip bombs and the crossbow to throw
- bombs at them. If you can't find a switch or are in a hurry just walk over
- the spikes it doesn't take that much energy away. At the end of the Water
- Palace you'll fight the water boss. this is the easiest boss in the game.
- Just get him against a wall and keep hitting him. Most of the hits will
- be blocked but a few will hit him. He never gets a chance to attack you.
- Now you will get the water elemental Siren.
-
- Now go back to the cave in the mountains where the doors were locked
- and search for an area with lava in it. It should be to the left of the
- cave. Now look for dark spots in the lava and summon the water elemental
- by pressing the controller in 360 degrees and pressing the triangle button.
- You have to have the water elemental equipped and enough PG to do to do
- this. Now continue to the other side of the cave doing this when you see
- a place to do it. When you get outside keep going until you reach the
- Wind Town. Save and walk right through the town. Go back in the town and
- a person comes up to you. Now go back right out of the town. Walk on the
- air tunnels to warp to other areas. Keep warping to different places until
- you find an area with three different colored heads. You have to move the
- heads onto the plates. Move the Blue head left, the brown head up, and the
- green head right. This will change where some of the warps take you. Now
- when you reach three heads again you'll have to bomb one of them. Place
- a bomb near the right green head to change it brown. Now move the Brown
- head left, the green head up, and the blue head down. Don't miss the small
- blue gem in the same room. Now the warps will be changed again. Now
- using the changed warps make your way to the Wind Palace. In the Wind
- Palace you'll find Gauntlet Def+8% PG+25%, Armor Def+95, a small fire
- and water gem and more. There are a couple puzzles in this palace.
- The hardest ones are these two. In a room with three air holes and two rocks
- were when you go on any of the air holes it just pushes you up a little.
- Push the rocks on the two top air holes until you here a click then go in
- the bottom hole and it will push you into another room. The other puzzle is
- were you have to push rocks on four switches but you can't reach the bottom
- switches. To solve this go to the room above and go to the lower left
- corner. Look for a different colored square on the floor. Put a bomb on it.
- Now jump in the hole it created. Now push the green rocks on the two bottom
- switches and push up on the brown rock on the right and go around and push
- the rocks on the left switches. Keep going until you reach the wind boss.
- To defeat him easily stay in the upper right corner right below were he
- sways. If your at the wrong angle he will attack you or you can't reach him.
- But if you get a the right angle you can hit him without him hitting you.
- When you defeat him you'll get the wind elemental Tenryu.
-
- Now that you have the Wind elemental go to the wind village and talk
- to the village leaders. Then talk with all the villagers and one of them
- will give you something. Now go right out of the village and where the air
- tunnels once were are now caves. Go in the caves and go through them until
- you come out next to a save point. Save (it'll be awhile before you can
- again) and then head left. Wander around a couple screens until all the
- elementals come out and talk to you. You'll warp to a Dream Palace. In this
- place is the only time you have the Dark elemental Preluda. In this palace
- there are no save points and no bosses. When you come to a room with four
- urns lit with blue flame slash at the four flames and go in the gate that
- appears. Kill all the enemies in some rooms to open doors and to make chests
- appear. In this palace is alot of ore and a small purple gem. When you
- finally reach outside go left and save. You'll be in the Earth forest. In
- here you'll have to use the grappling hook to cross gaps and bombs to blow
- up hollow trees blocking the way. Chop shrubs to remove them also. Keep
- going and you'll reach the Forest town. In the town go left and talk to a
- man blocking the left exit and a sequence will follow. When it's over you
- can go left so... go left. Now your in the second part of the Earth Forest
- In the second part you'll find a small green and purple gem and
- Necklace Def-7 STR+50% HP-20% PG-20%. Keep going through the caves and the
- forest until you come to an exit with a save point next to it. Save because
- the Earth boss is next. Go out the exit and a sequence will follow then
- you'll fight the boss. This boss is three statues that randomly come out and
- attack. The same ones always appear in the same place though. The top statue
- summons zombies out of the ground, the left statue makes thorns come out of
- the ground and the boss on the right attacks with projectiles from the sky.
- To defeat them easily just stand next to them and combo them. When zombies
- are summoned just use magic to dispose of them quickly. Not to hard. Don't
- equip the wind elemental for this because it's weak against the zombies they
- summon. A sequence will then follow. Now the fire elemental will leave your
- party but the earth elemental Boosun joins you.
-
- Now go back and save and come back out to were you fought the boss.
- Now you have to go through the Earth Forest part three. If you go back to
- the Forest town and talk to the guy who helped you he'll give you something.
- In this part you'll find two small purple gems, two small green gems, a
- small blue gem, Boots DEF+5 STR+40% HP+20%, Armor DEF+130, and
- Gauntlet DEF+10% STR+30% HP+20%. Keep going and you'll eventually reach
- the vine tower. In this tower you'll find brown borders that can be
- destroyed with bombs. Also you'll have to throw bombs at urns that are
- floors below you or across from you to make doors open or spikes go down.
- Also be on the look out for cracks in the walls to bomb because this place
- has alot. In this place you can find Armor DEF+150, Necklace effect DEF+6%,
- and a small purple and a small green gem. The boss here is Preluda he's
- pretty easy. Just run around until he lands then attack him and destroy the
- dark spirits he summons. Equip the Wind elemental for this one. Once you
- defeat him you'll get the fire elemental back but now he's the light
- elemental. Go back and save.
-
- Warp to Hometown and talk to the sleeping Shina and then warp to
- where you fought the first boss. A beacon will be there now. Go to it and
- a sequence will follow. Go to it again and you'll go to the Final Palace.
- Here you'll have to go in the four doors and go through there levels then
- fight the old bosses. The old bosses are more powerful this time. Then you
- can go up and go through a small level and fight the final boss Chaos. The
- lower left door is the water realm in there you'll find Ring EFFECT DEF+4%.
- The lower right door is the Wind realm. The upper left is the Earth realm
- here you'll find two small green gems, Gauntlet DEF+45, and Necklace DEF+16%
- HP+40% PG-20%. The upper right door leads to the Fire realm. Here you'll
- find a small green gem. Also when you fight the fire boss you have to attack
- him unlike when you fought before. When you defeat them all and reach the
- last save point. Save and prepare for a big battle. You should equip and
- have 99 turnips for this battle. Make sure you have the light elemental
- equipped. When you enter you'll first be attacked by a few enemies that get
- bigger every time you hit them a few times. These aren't hard. Just keep
- them at the bottom of the screen and combo them. Next you'll be attacked by
- three heads that stay in place. The left one shoots ice at you that follow
- you just run out of their way. The bottom one breathes fire at you, just
- move out of the way and attack. The right one drops lighting at you, don't
- stand still keep running. When you weaken them enough two of them will
- attack at once. Also they will sometimes all shoot beams in front of them.
- To defeat them wait till the bottom one breathes fire then attack the left
- one. After the left one is gone destroy the right one, then the bottom. Now
- prepare for a hard battle. Now you'll fight Chaos. She will send two
- floating lasers at you and shoot a huge beam straight in front of her. Keep
- your energy full for her because her attacks take off alot of HP. To defeat
- her run constantly run from the lasers and wait for her to shoot her beam.
- When the beam is over quickly run in and attack her. Then quickly retreat
- before she uses the beam again. When you have enough PG use a magic attack.
- This will take a while but it's the only strategy I've found to work.
-
