Hello, fellow RPG fans! Let me introduce myself. My name is Johnathan
Sawyer, but feel free to call me 'rhyxx' (sounds like 'ricks', if you were
wondering). Welcome to yet another strategy guide I have created, and this
time through, it's for a great game for the PS2 (Dreamcast, and PC),
Grandia II.
Ryudo is a young Geohound, working odd jobs with his companion Skye. Known
for his ability to do just about ANY task, he quickly built a reputation
as an excellent workhorse - willing to do what no one else wished to.
Bouncing from job to job in order to keep the gold flowing in, Ryudo
accepts, albeit grudgingly, a job involving the Church of Granas, in the
village of Carbo.
Once in Carbo, a beautiful voice carries on the wind, singing hymns to
Granas. Intrigued, Ryudo enters the nearby church and finds a Songstress,
Elena, practicing hard for an upcoming ceremony.
It is from here that Ryudo accepts his role, bodyguard to the Songstress
Elena. And so two strangers head out on what seems to be a simple
assignment...
My purpose for this guide: To make sure that you are able to get a perfect
game, meaning that you can find all items, learn all of the moves, and see
see all there is to see. To sum it up; I will leave no stone unturned,
meaning that there will be spoilers, so beware.
For this guide, I have decided to do a direct walkthrough, which includes
the locations of all of the items in the game, the mini-games, and the
side-quest. It won't be an extensive FAQ, so don't expect to find item
and armor lists or shop prices. There are FAQs at GameFAQs that either
specialize in this, or are listed in other FAQs like this one. I have
included, however, what it takes to learn the Moves & Magic, because it's
one of the essential parts of the Grandia series.
I'm sure that I have found everything in the game that can be found.
However, if for some reason I have left something out that should be in
here, feel free to email me at rhyxx.FAQ@gmail.com to let me know. I've
been working on this guide for years, so I have put a lot of work into
this, and I want it to be as complete as possible. I still welcome all
contributions!

My Directions for Grandia II
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
N My directions revolve around the compass. The red bar on
| the compass means north. The compass doesn't spin in this
NW | NE game like it did in the original Grandia. Instead, a green
\|/ circle will become smaller as you approach your
W----x----E destination. The TRIANGLE button will change your
/|\ destination. If a direction is between two directions, like
SW | SE north and northeast, I'll just combine them, and it'll be
| north-northeast. I don't know if that confused you, but try
S to go along with it.
Things that you should know about Grandia II
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
% All directions revolve around the compass, unless otherwise specified.
% To level up your Moves & Magic, you need Skill Coins and Magic Coins,
unlike in Grandia I.
% To use Magic in this game, you must equip a Mana Egg, then use Magic
Coins to level up the Mana Egg. You cannot learn some spells until the
Mana Egg is at a certain level.
% You can also use Skill and Magic Coins to level up Skill Books that you
come across. Skill Books can be used to boost your stats, as well as
other useful occurrences, such as boosting the speed of a spell.
Everything else should be well explained in the game as you go along.
After putting the Grandia 2 Disc in your PS2, start a new game and watch
the cool intro. After that section of the intro, you'll see some people
talking, and then the bunch of girls will leave. A bird, whose name is
Skye, will come flying under the bridge with some bombs, scaring the
girls. You'll see our hero, Ryudo, hanging from a rope waiting for the
right time to ambush a beast. Skye will drop the bombs from a distance,
and the monsters that came will run away. Ryudo will then jump down and
kill the beast, and he'll take a green jewel that the monster had. The
other monsters will come back, and Skye will save Ryudo. After a short
flight, you'll see Ryudo talking to his clients about finishing the job.
Ryudo is a Geohound, which is a type of mercenary, doing jobs that no one
else will try to do. He'll get his money, and he'll walk around and talk
with Skye. Skye will notice that they have another job already, and after
being pecked repeatedly by Skye, Ryudo will find out that the Church of
Granas would like to hire Ryudo as a bodyguard. Now, this adventure will
start!
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
[ s1.501 - Witt Forest Path ]
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
[My Level] Ryudo [10]
[Save Points] Witt Forest Path
[Items] Wound Salve x2, Poison Antidote, Hand Grenade, Yomi's Elixir
[Equipment] Blizzard Charm
[Enemies] Mottled Spider-(250 HP) Okay, so let's get started. From this
tree, head northwest, an beside a
pond, you'll find a [_WOUND SALVE_]. Go back to the tree, and head west-
southwest, past another tree, to find a [_POISON ANTIDOTE_] beside some
bushes. Go back to the first tree one last time, and follow the road
southeast, down the hill, and follow the path to the first Save Point
in the game. Use it to recover and save if you want to, just like in the
original Grandia, then head up that ladder by pushing X when you're
standing on the action icon. To the south-southwest, you'll see a chest
containing a [_BLIZZARD CHARM_]. Go down the other ladder on the southern
end, and follow the path. Most likely, you'll enter your first battle in
the game.
In my opinion, this is the best battle system ever created in any game.
This is where you'll spend a lot of time in your game, which is okay,
since it will never become boring. After the fight, look around the
corner to the southwest, and you'll find a large chest with a
[_WOUND SALVE_], a [_HAND GRENADE_], and a [_YOMI'S ELIXIR_] to your east.
Another monster will be here, so take it on and keep following the path
southwest to arrive at Carbo Village.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
[ s1.502 - Carbo Village ]
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
[My Level] Ryudo [10] Here, you'll see the girls that you saw on the
[Save Points] Carbo Inn bridge. It seems that one of the girls, Elena,
[Gold] 100G can't go with the others because she must have
a more important role. They'll leave, and then Elena will
head back to where she needs to go. Ryudo will learn that those girls, the
Sisters of Granas, are heading to some tower to drive away evil spirits.
Elena is a Songstress of Granas; what's her role? You'll find out soon
enough.
Now, you are supposed to go to the Church, but I suggest walking around
and talking to everybody; some of the stuff these people say will make you
laugh out loud, so make sure to look into it. When you're done, head to
the Church by following the compass arrow. When you get there, you'll hear
Elena singing; Ryudo thinks it's calming, and decides to enter. After they
meet, they start arguing since she isn't aware that Ryudo was hired to
protect her. Father Carius will come out and ask Elena to prepare to
leave. Carius will then ask Ryudo to wait at the Inn, so go to the Inn.
[1] The priest told me to wait here... In here, talk to the innkeeper
[2] Recover and choose the first option. Soon
[3] Cancel after, Carius will come in and talk to Ryudo. He'll
[4] ** Save Game ** apologize, and then explain the details of Ryudo's
job. He needs to escort Elena to Garmia Tower so she
can perform her duty, and then bring her back to Carbo. When he starts
preaching to Ryudo about his anger and pain and such, Ryudo will be a
little ticked, as always. Carius will give him his pay, which is [_100G_],
then he will leave.
Before you go to the Church to pick up Elena, head to the General Store
across from the Inn. Here, you can learn the basics of the battle system
from the guy with a ? hat. After that, stock up on items and such. I
recommend having at least 5 of each of the healing items in your
inventory. When you're ready, head to the Church.
Outside the Church's gate, Elena and Carius will be standing here. Elena
is the only one with a Geohound, so she refuses to go with him. After
being persuaded of her extra-important role, she finally agrees to go with
Ryudo. She'll join your party as an NPC, for now. Now, it's time to head
on out to Garmia Tower, with a pit stop in The Black Forest.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
[ s1.503 - The Black Forest ]
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
[My Level] Ryudo [10] As you enter, follow the path,
[Gold] 50G and straight into a
[Items] Medicinal Herb, Myriad Power Nut [_MEDICINAL HERB_]. Keep
[Enemies] Dodo-(230 HP) following the path west and
around the corner. Elena will be scared stiff,
and of course, Ryudo has to frighten her some more, but then a real
monster shows up and attacks. Beat the two Dodos up, and then head
east-northeast and follow the path to The Black Forest 2.
Here, head north to be attacked by some more Dodos. Waste them, then head
north to a fork; Head northwest first, and pick up [_50G_]. From it, head
northeast and at this fork, head east-southeast and behind the trees to
find a [_MYRIAD POWER NUT_]. Head back northwest and go north to go to the
World Map. Head to Garmia Tower.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
[ s1.504 - Garmia Tower ]
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
[My Level] Ryudo [10] As you enter, you'll
[Save Points] 1st Floor, 3rd Floor, Carbo Inn see Garmia Tower. Head
[Gold] 50G, 150G (200G) forward, and you'll
[Items] Wound Salve x2, Hand Grenade, Gold Statue see the Sisters at the
[Equipment] Wind Charm entrance. One of the
[Valuables] Poff Nut Sisters thanks Ryudo, while all of the
[Enemies] Mottled Spider-(250 HP) others have to share their opinions of
Gargoyle-------(380 HP) him. Elena will thank him, and they
will ask Ryudo to wait outside until
the ceremony is over, which will take quite some time. The others enter,
while Tessa interrogates Elena about what Ryudo did to her. Elena is
surprised at her, but she still thinks badly about Ryudo's foul mouth.
She'll then enter, and you'll see Skye and Ryudo talking over a campfire.
Ryudo just has to complain about waiting so long. According to him,
everything that has to do with church takes forever. He also has a bad
feeling about this event. Even the symbols on the Tower look suspicious to
him; it's a mural with 'wings'. Skye thinks it has something to do with
the Battle of Good and Evil. Then you'll hear a scream, and a flashing
black light. Ryudo decides to enter so nothing happens to Elena, not that
he cares about her, just about his reputation. Enter to be on the 1st
floor.
Ryudo will notice all of the monsters that are now inside the tower. Make
use of the Save Point the your northeast. Now, my advice is to fight all
of the enemies in all of the dungeons, just so you're better prepared for
the events ahead, okay? Now, time to find the items. From the Save Point
entryway, head northeast and down the stairs to your east, and grab the
[_WOUND SALVE_] from the southern corner. From the entryway in here, head
north through that door, then go east and south through that door to find
a chest with a [_WIND CHARM_] in that room. Head back to the Save Point
entryway, and go west, down those stairs, and grab the [_HAND GRENADE_] in
this room. That's it for the 1st Floor, so head north from these stairs,
and go through the doorway and up a flight of stairs to the 2nd Floor.
Here, follow the southeastern bridge all the way to the other end, and
grab the [_50G_] in the northeastern corner beside the staircase. Then go
to the 3rd Floor. Take the western south door, and go into the room beside
you. Go south-southwest and through this door, then go west, northwest,
and then go northeast through this doorway to find [_150G_]. Head
southwest down the stairs, then north-northwest through a doorway, and
through another one. You'll see a Save Point, but first go south from it
to find another [_WOUND SALVE_]. Now use the Save Point, and head up the
stairs to the Top Floor.
As soon as you enter, you have to fight two Gargoyles. After you defeat
them, you'll find Tessa, dying. She'll tell you that the ceremony has
failed, and that you must save Elena; she'll then die. Skye will tell
you to hurry up, but if you try to go through the door, you'll find that
it won't budge. Skye will look for another way in, and he'll tell Ryudo
to go through the window. Go up to it and use the action icon to break
it.
When you enter, you'll see a bunch of smoke, and then you'll see Elena,
and she'll have wings! Ryudo will recognize this darkness, and Elena will
try to resist, but before the wings take her, Ryudo will save her. He'll
then jump out of a window and slide down a rope to safety. Skye will ask
why Ryudo was acting strange, and he says it was just some bad memories.
Elena will wake up, and realize where she's at. You'll see Garmia Tower
surrounded by dark smoke; Ryudo then tells her that she's the only
survivor, yet she refuses to believe it. Ryudo is just worried about
getting out of there, and Elena just thinks that he's really cold blooded,
not even caring about the dead Sisters.
Now, you'll be back at Carbo. Head back to the Church to tell Carius the
bad news. He'll just tell both of them to eat and rest. Back in the Church
Ryudo tells them that the last thing he saw was that Elena grew black
wings. Carius has Elena go rest while he talks to Ryudo; he explains that
those were the Wings of Valmar, and refers to the Battle of Good and Evil.
Valmar wasn't completely destroyed, and needed to be sealed, but he wasn't
sealed successfully. If he would've known that this would happen, he
wouldn't have sent his daughter, Tessa, to the ceremony. Now, Elena has
become possessed by the Wings of Valmar. Carius will then ask Ryudo to be
her bodyguard once again, this time, escorting her to Granas Cathedral, so
that Pope Zera may be able to rid her of the Wings. His reward would be a
statue of gold.
Suddenly, you'll see a blinding flashing light outside. They'll run out,
and discover that Millenia, the Wings of Valmar, is here. She'll decide to
wreck the town, because it disgusts her, and she'll attack the Church.
Ryudo will say something to her, then she'll attack you.
________
|*BOSS*| As you can tell by her ridiculous HP, you
********************* cannot beat her. Just do whatever you want to
[ Millenia-(100,000 HP) ] until she uses the Zap! spell to end the
********************* battle by paralyzing you.
Millenia seems to like Ryudo, so the next time they meet, she'll make you
hers! She'll leave, and Ryudo will take up Carius's offer.
The next morning after a short talk, Carius and Elena will enter, and
you'll receive a [_GOLD STATUE_] from him. Now, after a few 'words of
wisdom' from Carius, Elena will officially join the party as a PC. You can
Spend the Night, and watch a dinner scene if you want.
Leave the Inn, and go towards the fountain in the center of town. To the
east is House 2, and to the south of it is House 3. In between these two
houses is a little boy in a blue hat, named Lenny. Talk to him and he'll
give you a [_POFF NUT_]. Thanks to DrkVmp for finding this item.
When you're ready, you can stop at the store and stock up on whatever you
need. Be sure to sell the Gold Statue, since it has no other use, besides
restoring 5 HP... so sell it. Now, head out of town and go to the Inor
Mountains.
*[.NOTE.]* You can always stay at the Inn and watch dinner events. They're
always fun. Also, Elena comes with a Mana Egg, the Holy Egg. Remember to
use up your Skill Coins and Magic Coins to learn new moves and magic, or
power up old ones.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
[ s1.505 - Inor Mountains ]
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
[My Level] Ryudo [11], Elena [7] As you enter
[Save Points] Inor Mountains 1 the Inor
[Gold] 150G, 50G, 50G, 50G, 150G, 50G, 150G, 50G (700G) Mountains,
[Items] Muscle Mushroom, Goblin Toadstool, Mushroom Cloud, use the
Poison Antidote x2, Yomi's Elixir action icon
[Equipment] Climbing Hat, Crystal Brooch to destroy the mushroom on
[Enemies] Mottled Spider-(250 HP) the left to collect the
Crag Snake-----(280 HP) [_MUSCLE MUSHROOM_]. You can go around
Dodo-----------(230 HP) and just press X to destroy these
mushrooms. Follow the path up to a
Save Point; you may need to use it. Walk on the grass on the south side of
the path and go north-northeast, following along the edge of the cliff to
find a [_150G_] chest. Directly southwest from the chest, you'll find a
set of two mushrooms beside some trees; one of them contains [_50G_]. Head
south-southeast from that mushroom to find another [_50G_] pouch in
another mushroom. I've lost myself, so head back to the Save Point.
From here, go south-southeast, and notice that the ground seems to make
steps. Follow these up to a fork, then go southwest and keep going to
a dead-end with a [_GOBLIN TOADSTOOL_] in a mushroom. Make your way back to
the Save Point again.
Follow the northwestern ledge to a fork, with a path heading west-
northwest. Don't go northwest yet, keep following the edge to reach a
mushroom containing another [_50G_]. Now go down the path at the fork, and
head all the way to the bottom to a mushroom containing a
[_MUSHROOM CLOUD_]. Head back to the Save Point one last time.
Now, follow the southwestern path up the mountain, and follow this path up
to a fork. Follow the northern path to a [_POISON ANTIDOTE_]. Go back to
the fork, and take the other path, turning east. Follow it until you reach
another fork, heading east-northeast first. Follow the path to find
[_150G_], and then go back and follow the west-southwest path to Inor
Mountains 2.
After walking a short distance, the party will stop and decide to stay at
that area for tonight. Ryudo and Elena finally sit down and talk about
what happened at Garmia Tower. It was a ceremony of sealing, and Elena was
supposed to sing, but when the Sisters went to restore the seal, the Wings
escaped. Ryudo keeps mocking her, and then she decides to sleep and keep
away from Ryudo.
After Elena falls asleep, Skye comes in to tease Ryudo about Elena.
Apparently, Ryudo's bad memories keep coming back due to the Darkness he
saw in the tower. Ryudo really ticked off Elena, and he thinks that she
hates him. He also feels bad about not being able to protect her from her
grief; his job was to protect her, but she still suffers. He decides to go
to sleep, and this whole time, Elena was listening...
The next morning, Elena is acting completely different now that she knows
Ryudo's feelings on the event. After you regain control, head down the
northern east path to find [_50G_] at the dead-end. Go back, and take the
southern east path. As you pass by, rocks will fall down below where you
just were. Keep going and head up the rope ladder at the end.
You'll see a big treasure chest surrounded by rocks, which you cannot
reach yet. Follow the northern ledge up to a catapult, and go to the other
side of it and push X. It will roll down and knock down all of the rocks
surrounding the big chest. Before getting it, keep following the ledge to
another catapult. Press X to form a bridge with the big rock, and grab the
[_CLIMBING HAT_] on the other side. Follow along the southwestern wall to
find a [_150G_] chest.
Now, head back down to the big chest and get a [_POISON ANTIDOTE_], a
[_YOMI'S ELIXIR_], and a [_CRYSTAL BROOCH_]. Go southeast, following the
path until some rocks fall down to block your shortcut. Oh well, keep
following the path the long way, until some more rocks fall down. Just
keep going the way you were, and go down the ladder. Keep heading west,
and grab [_50G_] along the way. Now exit to the south, and go to Agear
Town.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
[ s1.506 - Agear Town ]
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
[My Level] Ryudo [13], Elena [10] When you enter Agear Town, the camera
[Save Points] Agear Inn will rotate so you can see the whole
town. Right now, it looks really deserted, and
it never used to be like that. You're supposed to head to the Inn, but
head to the Guards' Tent first to buy some new equipment. Once you've done
that, go to the Inn.
[1] Greet the innkeeper. In here, you'll see the innkeeper, Vyx. Choose
[2] Recover to greet him, as Ryudo seems to know him. The
[3] Cancel. people in town tried to run Vyx out of town, but he
[4] ** Save Game ** wouldn't leave. He'll then notice Elena, and Ryudo
will just tell him that it's a job, nothing else.
You'll then see a boy named Roan who lost his only memento of his mother.
The carnies will not help him, and they suggest that Ryudo help him find
it. Roan will then ask Ryudo, who will coldly refuse him. Roan will then
supposedly give up. Elena will try to persuade Ryudo to help him, but he
just suggests to have Elena shut up and eat some Kuko Berries. While she
chows down, Ryudo tries to figure out a way to get out of town, and then
Elena becomes intoxicated because of those berries.
"She ate enough Kuko Berries to kill the Pope." (hahaha). She's out now,
so Ryudo will go to his room as well. He decides to go to the cave and
slay some monsters, since he works best alone. Suddenly, Millenia will
show up again. She paralyzes him and Skye again, but before she can do
anything, Risotto will ask if anyone's seen Roan. Millenia seems to be
interested in this, and will unparalyze them. Now, head out to the main
part of the Inn.
Here, the carnies are kind of worried because Roan ran off, and Ryudo
decides to go look for him, since he was going to waste the monsters
anyway. Millenia also decides to come, even though Ryudo and Skye don't
like the idea of it. She'll join as a PC. Now, leave the Inn, and head
to the Cave Entrance by switching your destination on the compass.
*[.NOTE.]* Since Elena is temporarily out of your party, her accessory and
her Holy Egg is available to equip to either Ryudo or Millenia. Millenia
comes equipped with the Chaos Egg, so you could keep that on her if you
want, or give it to Ryudo. It's yours now.

[Valuables] Poff Nut x3, Roan's Medal following the path until
[Enemies] Crag Snake------(280 HP) you look around the cave. Some
Frost Frog------(400 HP) stalactites will fall and form a
Troglodyte------(980 HP) bridge for you to go down. Head down
*BOSS*---Durham Minotaur-(4200 HP) and use the Save Point, then walk
southeast into the next room, and
you'll meet Carro, a cute little squirrel-fox-rodent animal. You're
supposed to give it Poff Nuts, and when you give him three in a row, he'll
jump on your shoulder and act as another source of light as you walk
through the dungeon. Anyway, grab the [_FIREBOMB_] that is against the
western wall.
Follow the northeast path, and use the action icon to jump down. Stand
behind the rock, and use the action icon here so the rock will break the
wall, and a Crag Snake will come out of the hole and attack. After
defeating it, head through the hole in the wall. Head west and grab the
[_MEDICINAL HERB_] and keep going west. Use the switch to raise a nearby
bridge, then go and cross it, and go southwest to find another
[_MEDICINAL HERB_]. Head north into a cave.
You'll see some boxes to the west. Go around them and pick up a
[_YOMI'S ELIXIR_]. Then go east and push the rock down, which will form a
ramp down. Follow this path, and the gates will snap shut, and they won't
open until you beat the Crag Snakes that drop down; defeat them, and they
will open back up. Head southwest and west, then throw the switch again,
and the other bridge will raise back up.
Go back northeast and north, following the path up the stone ramp again.
Head south out the door, and southwest across the bridge. To the south-
southeast, you can find [_100G_] behind some barrels. Head west through
another gate; this one will also shut, leaving you to fight some Frost
Frogs. After all of them are wasted, the gates will re-open. First, head
south and follow the path to find a [_SLEEP CHARM_] to the northeast, and
a [_POFF NUT_] at the southeast edge. Then head back and go north to
Durham Cave 2.
Follow the path, and you'll see Roan trapped by three Troglodytes, so go
help him. After that moderately tough battle, one of them will definitely
drop the [_MIST EGG_]. Roan will thank you for saving him, but Ryudo is
ungrateful and wants him to go home. Roan wants to join you since you're
fighting all of the monsters anyway, and he needs to get his medal. He
will come over and start wailing on Ryudo since he won't let him go with
him. Millenia will think that he's so cute, and will take him along, so
Ryudo doesn't really have a say in it. Ryudo will finally agree, but
doesn't want him to slow them down. Roan joins as a PC; make sure to equip
your Mist Egg to him, or anyone else.
Now, head east-southeast into a room with some Crag Snakes and a chest.
Defeat the snakes, and grab the [_CALMING HARP_]. Head north, and to the
northwest is a [_MEDICINAL HERB_]. Head northeast, and push the box on the
switch, and stand on the other one to open all of the doors. Go to the
one farthest south, and grab [_300G_]. The middle one has a switch
in it, so throw it; it will drain the pool of water. The one farthest
northeast has a [_STONE HEAD_] in it, so grab it and equip it on Ryudo.
Follow the northeastern wall, past the hole, and grab [_100G_]. Then go
across where the pool was, and grab the [_POFF NUT_] to the west beside a
rock structure. Head north, and use the action icon to jump down, and
you'll be attacked by three more Troglodytes. After that, throw the last
switch here, and cross the bridge.
Grab the [_TORTE'S REEDPIPE_] along the way, and push the rock down. Now,
use the Save Point. Head northeast, and prepare for a boss battle. Keep
going and you'll run into the boss.
________
|*BOSS*| Okay, first off use Millenia's Fallen
***************************** Wings. For Roan, use Snowball Fight!,
[ Durham Minotaur-(4200 HP) ] but if you don't have it, use Golden
[ Troglodyte x2---(980 HP each) ] Hammer on the Minotaur. For Ryudo, use
***************************** the strongest move you have so far.
Keep using your moves until you run
[EXP] 500 out of SP, and then use critical attacks. His
[Gold] 800G Tornado Horn does a lot of damage but he should
[Special Coins] 1200 not be able to attack much, if at all, if you
[Magic Coins] 800 keep using critical attacks. Make sure to get rid
[Items] Adventure Book of the Troglodytes, since they are an annoyance.
This isn't a hard battle, but it can be long.
After the battle, the Minotaur won't go down, so Millenia will burn him to
a crisp. Then she let's the cat out of the bag, saying not to mess with
the "Wings of Valmar". You'll receive [_ROAN'S MEDAL_]. He'll thank you,
and you'll regain control. When you head back through the cave, don't give
Carro the Poff Nuts; save them for later, unless you really want to. Head
back out to Agear Town.
When you exit, Millenia will say goodbye, and in the spot she vanished,
Elena will appear! Ryudo will wake her up, and Elena wonders why she's
here. Back at the Inn, Ryudo has explained the whole situation, and Elena
realizes that the Wings of Valmar really are inside her. The carnies will
come back and be glad that Roan is safe. Now, since all of the monsters
are gone, we can exit through the rear gate. Roan will want to come along,
and they both agree to let him, but they need to hurry to Granas
Cathedral. Elena will rejoin the party at a higher level than before.
You can head to the Guards' Tent and stock up, and then leave. On the way
out, there is a blue-green haired man; he'll give you a [_POFF NUT_] for
slaying the monsters. Now, head out to South Silesia, and go to the Baked
Plains.

Grab the [_200G_], and keep going north
to find a [_SEED OF RUNNING_] on a tree. Head up the ramp and follow the
ledge to find [_600G_]. Break all of the rocks to the east, and keep going
east to find another [_600G_] chest.
Go back a little and head northwest. Break four rocks, beat up some
monsters, and grab the [_DASH SHOES_]. Leave this little area, go
northeast, and then south to find [_200G_] by a dead tree, and go
southeast to find a [_SEED OF PSYCHE_] on a tree. Then follow the compass
to Baked Plains 2.
Head north around the steaming rock, and then east-northeast to find a
[_SEED OF POWER_] on yet another tree. Then go south-southwest to find a
[_SEED OF DEFENSE_] on this tree. Head east, and smash a rock to find
[_600G_] behind it. Go back to the entrance, and then head south-
southeast; you'll see a rock blocking a bridge to a big chest. Go
southwest to find [_200G_], and then go back and break the rock. Go up and
open the chest to receive a [_HEALING HARP_], a [_NORTH WIND CAPE_], and a
[_POISON CHARM_].
Circle counter-clockwise around the lake, and then head east-northeast to
find [_200G_], and then northeast to a [_POFF NUT_]. Then go south against
some spiky looking things, and then southwest to a [_SEED OF MAGIC_] on,
guess what? A tree. That's it for this area, so follow along the spiky
things east to Baked Plains 3.
Here's a Save Point, so use it. Keep going east, and you'll have an event
showing the incredible Granacliffs. After seeing them, talk will be of the
Battle of Good and Evil. To get over the cliffs, you'll see a big machine
that goes over it called the Skyway. You'll then decide to camp out here.
You'll have a camp scene here. Again, talk will be of the Battle of Good
and Evil. Elena will explain that long ago people lived happily by the
light of Granas, and Valmar came to wreck that idea. That started the
Battle, and it ended when Granas's sword went through Valmar, and it
split the earth in two, thus the Granacliffs were created. Elena can't
believe that Valmar is inside of her, and she hates Darkness. Then it's
time for bed.
Elena will be screaming in her sleep, and then wake up. A tongue was
devouring her in her dream. Then, all of a sudden, it's too quiet, then
there's growling outside. The kids will scream, and you'll see a large
Beast-Man outside. You'll enter a battle with him.

After the battle, the Beast-Man, Mareg, realizes that Ryudo is not the man
that destroyed his village, Melfice. Ryudo and Skye react in shock to the
name; Ryudo asks if he is still alive. Mareg calls Melfice a demon-man and
bringer of ruination. He'll then leave, and Ryudo tells Elena that Melfice
is a murderer, as well as his brother...
Head south, and when you see a dirt path start to form, head west and
northwest to find a [_SHELL ARMOR_]. Follow the western wall around the
corner and pick up [_200G_]. Head east until you reach the Granacliffs.
Follow the edge south, and on the other side of some trees, you'll find a
[_SWIFTNESS NUT_] on one of them. That's all here, so follow the compass
arrow to the Silesian Continent, and go to Liligue City.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
[ s1.509 - Liligue City ]
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
[My Level] Ryudo [19], Elena [18], Roan [19] As you enter, the camera
[Save Points] Liligue Inn will rotate so you can see
all of Liligue. Some people will be talking
about leaving since it is 'cursed by Darkness'. Elena will want to know
what is going on, but they just can't stand being here, so they'll warn
Ryudo and company about staying in town. They also say that they don't let
people on the Skyway anymore, except a guy named Gadan. They'll leave, and
Elena will suggest staying at an Inn.
Before going, head to the General Store and sell your extras, buy new
equipment; whatever you desire. I recommend buying a Flame Staff, and then
maxing out the skill Skilled Item Use, so Elena can use Burn! almost
instantly in battle, without using MP! When you're finished, head to the
Inn. Talk to the innkeeper so you can stay the night. Roan remembers that
the arum root is the delicacy he forgot to try last time.
You'll have a dinner sequence, which just talks about how disgusting arum
root is, as well as it's disgusting texture. They need to hurry up and do
what they need to do so they don't have to eat this stuff.
Today's task is to see this Gadan, so leave the Inn. As you enter town, a
little boy will be complaining about how hungry he is, and when Elena
tries to give him some food, he runs away. A man tells you that the people
in this town cannot eat normal food. Elena decides they must help out, and
will go talk to the family of the boy.
The family will be trying to decide whether to stay in Liligue or not.
Elena figures out that the town has lost their sense of taste, and about
10 days ago, everything lost its taste. The only thing they can eat is the
arum root, but they can't get full on it; they think that the town may be
cursed. Ryudo will ask about the Skyway, and the engineer suggests asking
Gadan, even though it probably won't help.
Walk on the metal sidewalk heading south, past the tree, and taking a
right on a rainbow colored sidewalk, which leads to Gadan's House. You'll
see that he's eating a ton of food. Ryudo tries to persuade Gadan to let
him on the Skyway, and Gadan will, for 10,000 gold pieces, since you have
a Sister with you. Ryudo will agree, but the last tram has already left
for the day, so you'll have to wait until tomorrow.
Elena tries to figure out why Gadan can eat tons of food, while everyone
else suffers. He tries to say that he has good health, and that the curse
doesn't affect him. It's hard for him because of his employees being
stricken, and Roan is amazed that he can eat so much. Gadan says that
others have sinned, and he alone remains blessed. He then smells Elena and
tells her that smell and taste are interrelated, since she smells so good
(!), which sickens Elena. Anyway, Gadan suggests going to the church
outside of town to ask what is troubling the town, so head out of here.
After you leave, Elena comments about how disgusting he is. Roan worries
about the money, so Skye suggest wasting him, but sadly, there's a Sister
in our party, so we can't. Anyway, we have to go to the church, and Ryudo
will agree to go, since they can't leave until tomorrow. Follow the metal
sidewalk north this time, past the tree, and up the blue path on your
left. It will take you directly to the church.
Talk to the Father here, and Elena will ask about the town's condition.
The Father doesn't really know either, and that Gadan used to be a good
man, and everybody liked him. He changed about the same time the town's
illness came to them. Ryudo doesn't get this blessing stuff, so the Father
tells you to go upstairs to find out for yourself, so go upstairs.
Talk to him, and he'll tell you to look out the window. You can see the
whole town, including some pillars coming out of the ground; they are
supposed to be the ruins of a temple. They were mostly destroyed when the
town was rebuilt, and Gadan said they're still not sufficiently destroyed.
So that's why they say Liligue is blessed. The pillars are shaped to make
it look like something was buried in the center. The Father remembers that
there's an excavation beside the pillars, going underground. Ryudo
recognizes the familiar terms, and suggest that there's probably a piece
of Valmar sealed inside.
Elena suggests finding out this possibility, since she can't ignore these
people's suffering. When Ryudo refuses at first, Elena decides to go by
herself, but Ryudo is her bodyguard, so he decides to go. He pulls on her
face, telling her to get rid of 'that self-righteous expression'! (Hahaa!)
He decides to go to the ruins, but first thing tomorrow, no matter what,
they're getting on the Skyway.
Elena thanks the Father for his help, and then she'll ask if her soul is
weak since she is haunted by Darkness. He'll tell her that if she doesn't
let the darkness go to her heart, and if she resists it, she should
overcome it. She thanks him again, and then you can leave.
When you go to leave, you'll see Mareg outside of the church. When Ryudo
asks why he is here, he'll tell you the SMELL offends the earth. Ryudo
thinks that Melfice may be here, and Elena will suggest having Mareg help
out. He'll agree, and Mareg will join as a PC. Now, we have to enter the
ruins, so go outside of Gadan's house, and you should see a metal door to
the southwest. Examine it, and Mareg says the SMELL comes from down here;
Ryudo will smash it open. Enter the Liligue Cave.

|-Right Hand------(4000 HP) way so you don't get lost. Head east
until you reach a fork, and then go
north to find [_400G_] at a dead-end. Go back to the fork and head east-
northeast while following the path to another fork. First, go north-
northwest and follow the path until you reach a dead-end with a
[_HEALING HERB_]. Go back to the fork and head east.
Shortly after, you'll see an unlit torch and a fork. Follow the southeast
path to find a [_MOGAY BOMB_], and then go back and head northeast. Follow
it to yet another fork; go north-northeast first to find a
[_PURIFYING HERB_], and then go back and go west. Wow, another fork.
Luckily, the west-southwest path is a dead-end, so keep going northwest to
a...fork. We want to go northwest to find a [_1200G_] chest. Go back to
the fork and go southwest to arrive at Liligue Cave 2. Head west to find
[_1200G_], and then head into the hole in the wall to the southwest to a
different section of Liligue Cave 1.
Light the torch and keep going until you reach a fork. You can see a
[_REFLECTION RING_] to the west, so grab it, then head north to find
another [_MOGAY BOMB_]. Go back and go south to a fork; there's nothing
east, so go southwest to Liligue Cave 2.
Yay! No more confusing forks and torches! Head northeast along the wall
and go down into a pit containing [_400G_]. Get out of there, and go
northeast, following the long path to a stone tablet with three
candlesticks. Read the blue stone; the portal will open if you light the
red, blue, and green candlesticks; use the action icon to make some doors
open.
Start heading back west, and when you see two doors on either side of you,
head north first. In here are two chests, and the green candlestick. Get
the [_BONDS OF TRUST_] and the [_CONFUSION CHARM_], and then light the
green candlestick. Exit out the northwestern south exit. Out here, head
west, and all the way southeast to find a big chest containing a
[_HOLY WOUND SALVE_] a [_FIRE PENDANT_] and the sword [_FLAMBERGE_].
Go through the door you just passed, then go up the southern set of
stairs. Push the block sticking out SOUTH. Go behind the boxes and grab
the [_POFF NUT_]. Push it back to where it was, and then one block west.
Go up the north set of stairs, and watch out for the Ghoul, then head
south, across the block bridge, and light the red candlestick. Leave this
room out of the southern east exit.
Jump down in the pit, get out of it, and go into the southeastern room. Go
up the two sets of stairs to light the blue candlestick. Now, exit out of
the northeastern north path and head east. Turn on the yellow candlestick,
and the big door will open. Go through the big door into Liligue Cave 3.
Yikes! You're on the side of the Granacliffs! Head south to find a Save
Point; make sure to use it, and head west into the Caverns.
Mareg will smell ruin and decay in here, and you'll see a broken Seal of
Granas. Melfice isn't the culprit here, and a huge Piece of Valmar will
appear. He'll swallow Elena, and then a light will glow; Millenia will
burst out. Before you can attack, it'll run away. Follow the compass
towards the Temple Ruins, but DON'T go in yet; look to your west for a
big chest containing [_SMELLING SALTS_], a [_BURNING BOW_], and a
[_FLARE DRESS_]. This'll give you a chance to equip your new weapon and
armor, some skills, an accessory, and a Mana Egg to Millenia. When you're
ready, go in to the Temple Ruins.
Ryudo realizes that the SMELL wasn't Melfice, rather this creature. The
Piece of Valmar has decided to stop running and fight, and Ryudo will
realize that this creature is really Gadan! Millenia will challenge the
Tongue of Valmar, and you'll enter your first Valmar Battle.
________
|*BOSS*| This is where you use all of your best
************************* attacks. He is kind of hard, so make sure
[ Valmar's Tongue-(8000 HP) ] to heal a lot. Start off with Fallen Wings,
[ Head------------(5000 HP) ] Snowball Fight!, Flying Tenseiken, and
[ Left Hand-------(4000 HP) ] Beast-King Blast. If you don't have some
[ Right Hand------(4000 HP) ] of those, just use the other ones; they
************************* work well too. When you run out of SP, use
magic, mainly range attacks like Zap!,
[EXP] 500 Burnflame, and Howlslash. After that, just use
[Gold] 800G critical attacks. This will probably be a long
[Special Coins] 1200 and moderately hard battle. The only attacks you
[Magic Coins] 800 should worry about are Starving Tongue and
[Items] Book of Wizards Gluttony. Starving Tongue will take around 150
Revival Gem HP from each person in your party, and replenish
Ancient Cuirass his HP. Gluttony is a range attack, and will
take some HP off, as well as lower your defense.
After the battle, Millenia will devour him, and receive his powers. She'll
then leave, and Elena will appear in that spot. Mareg says that the SMELL
is gone, and it wasn't Melfice. Elena realizes that IT has happened again.
Back at Gadan's place, Ryudo is explaining that Millenia appeared again,
and that Gadan was possessed by the Tongue of Valmar, and it was the
source of the town's troubles. Elena remembers from a holy book that
pieces of Valmar posses people, and then devour their souls, and then move
on; Millenia devoured Gadan and took that power for herself, so the town
was saved thanks to Millenia. Mareg says that the smell was of Valmar, and
Ryudo thinks that Melfice may be possessed by a piece of Valmar himself.
After Ryudo is done with this job, he wants to go with Mareg to find
Melfice. Now that the town is back to normal, leave the house and head
east to the Skyway Station.
*[.NOTE.]* This is your last chance to get anything you need from this
continent (from Carbo until Liligue). Once you cross the Granacliffs, you
can't come back.
When you get to the steps leading up, the engineer will come down, and
thank you for saving the city. He'll leave, and Elena will be glad the
town is back to normal, with the exception of Gadan. Prepare if you need
to before you leave, but if you don't need to, head up the stairs, and
board the Skyway!
As you cross the Granacliffs, the party will be talking. Elena will be
wondering the whole time what happened; after Ryudo explains it, again,
Elena will be still worried that Valmar is inside of her. Something will
start to happen, and Elena starts freaking out, saying that Darkness is
coming. Valmar's Moon will start to glow, and there will be a storm in the
Granacliffs, which will knock the Skyway way off of it's path.

You can hear Millenia calling for Elena to wake up. She'll tell Elena to
look in the shiny plate, and she'll see Millenia in the mirror; Elena and
Millenia finally meet! Elena wants her to stay away, but she can't since
she is in the same body. She'll vanish, and tell Elena she'll be with her

The party will reunite, asking Elena if she's okay. She realizes that the

where they are, but none of them really know; they'll have to walk to the
Cathedral now.
Well, time to get going. Head south-southwest and follow a path until you
get to a snow drift. You can walk through it, and after you do, head
southwest through another one, and then another one. Follow along the edge
of the Granacliffs to find a [_LUMIR FLOWER_]. Head back through the two
snow drifts and head northeast, following the path to a fork. There's
[_400G_] to the north, so grab it, then head southeast to reach Lumir

There's a Save Point to the south-southwest, so use it. Head south-

Keep following the edge to find an entrance to the caverns, but don't go

Head north, and use the action icon to chop through the vines. At this

Now, there are 3 ways to go, besides the way we came in; north, south, and
west. First, take the western north path, which is the one beside the one
we came in. Cut the vines, and you'll be in another open area. Grab the
[_400G_] in the middle, then head north to the wall, and then west. Cut
the vines, and keep going to find a [_LUMIR FLOWER_]. Keep following the
path south, cut the vines, and then down the south path turning east. Cut
the vines, and you are in the large area again.
Head south, but do not cut the vines yet; there's a small path on the
eastern wall. Cut those vines, and follow it to some [_ODD WOODEN CLOGS_].
Head back and cut the vines, and follow the compass until you come back
out to Lumir Forest.
Go directly south, and you should be under a tree where a snow drift will
fall on you; you'll also be at a fork. Go east-southeast to find [_400G_],
then go back and head west-northwest to be in an area with a big tree. Go
northwest and follow along the snow bank to find [_1200G_] at a dead-end.
Follow the compass arrow to Cavern 2.
There are 5 vines here that can be cut; the one right beside the tree to
the east will reopen the path back outside. Cut the one to the northeast,
and a path will open east, leading to a dead-end. Cut the one to the west
of the tree, and it will open a pathway west, leading to a monster-filled
dead-end. Cut the one to the north of the tree, and a path will open to
the north, this time leading to an [_ORACLE'S STAFF_]. Finally, cut the
one to the south of the tree to open the southern path; this is where we
want to go.
Follow it to a fork; go southwest first to find [_400G_], then go back,
head east, and cut the vines. Keep going until you reach another fork.
First, go east and cut the vines, then grab the [_INSECTICIDE BOMB_] on
the other side. Head north from here and keep going until you see vines to
the north; cut them and follow the path to another fork. To the west is a
dead-end, so slowly take the eastern path while looking for a path on the
southern wall. Cut the vines, and follow the path to [_1200G_]. Go back
out and keep going to arrive back at the Lumir Forest.
Head south-southwest to find a [_BLUEBERRY_] between three trees, then
head east to find [_400G_]. Go back to the three trees, and head
southwest. Go down the huge snow drift to the east, and open the big chest
to receive an [_ICEFANG STONE_], an [_ARCTIC CAPE_], and an [_ICE PICK_].
Head southwest and follow the path, and it will become very foggy. Make
your way through the fog to the Garden of Dreams.
Ryudo will admit that they've become lost. Mareg says that they're is no
SMELL of life, and Elena doesn't see how flowers bloom in such a cold
place. A little girl with green hair will appear, and tell Elena that this
is the Garden of Happiness, her secret place. She used to have bad eyes,
but they're better now, thanks to Granas. She'll see right through Ryudo,
saying how he's trying to like as someone he's not. She doesn't think that
Elena thinks that this place is peaceful, and to ask the girl with black
wings.
She asks Elena to keep this place a secret, then she'll then run off,
asking Elena not to eat her. (?) They can't figure it out, so just leave
back to the Lumir Forest. Now they aren't anywhere near the Garden.
Anyway, follow the path down and follow the compass to exit to East
Silesia. Then go to Mirumu Village.

[My Level] Ryudo [23], Elena [23], Roan [23], Mareg [24]
[Save Points] Mirumu Inn, Mirumu Village (Outside of the Fissure)
As you enter, the camera will move and focus on some people. Elena feels
a sadness in this village. Some villagers think that you are the Sister
who has come to save the village, so they'll go get the Chief, while Elena
wonders if they're talking about her. The Chief thinks that Elena is the
one to save them, but Ryudo disagrees; Elena states that they are
travelers on their way to the Cathedral. Ryudo wants to know what is going
on, so the Chief will invite you to his house to tell you.
He explains that the villagers have been falling asleep. They thought it
was just fatigue, but it keeps going for days at a time, and he doesn't
believe that it's an illness; he believes that it is a type of curse.
All of the villagers are having the same dream, something watching and
waiting. That's why they asked the Cathedral for help. He'll then ask you
to stay for one day, and Elena will ask Ryudo. He'll agree, and you'll
regain control. Head out of this building.
You can head to the General Store and shop if you like, and when you're
finished, head to the Inn. As you enter, a woman named Irina will ask if
you are the Sister she's been waiting for. Elena regrettingly tells her
that they are only travelers, not the ones she's waiting for. Nonetheless,
she'll ask Elena to come look at her son, Nicolas.
He seems to be sleeping peacefully, but he doesn't wake up. Roan thinks
this is like Gadan, but Mareg recognizes no SMELL around them. Irina
thinks he may be playing happily in the "Garden of Dreams". Elena says
that they passed through a garden full of fairies on the way here. Irina
doesn't believe them, because that story is made up, but Elena insists
that they saw a strange girl there, with a scar above her right eye.
Irina recognizes her a Sandra's daughter, Aira, and she thinks that Sandra
was the one who caused this curse. Elena doesn't want her to jump to
conclusions, and Irina will leave. Elena suggests asking Aira some
questions, and Ryudo will agree, so head on out of this room. Talk to
Irina to recover and save if you need to, then head out of the Inn.
Follow the main stone road south until you reach a bridge. Ryudo will see
Aira, which confirms that she IS real. They will run over to her to ask
some questions; Elena asks what she meant when she said "don't eat me",
Aira says that she meant what she meant. She thinks that Elena is okay,
but not what is inside of her. Ryudo will ask what that Garden was, and
Aira will tell him that it's a safe place for people when they're sad, and
she wants everyone to be happy.
Aira's mother, Sandra, will come out and yell at her for going outside,
and she'll tell you to back off, but Aira says that they're okay. Sandra
is just really worried that something might happen to Aira, and she
doesn't want anything to happen to her. She'll ask you to come in to talk,
so enter Sandra's House.
She tries to stay away from the other villagers because they don't like
her or Aira. Aira had promised to take the innkeeper's son, Nicolas, to
the Garden of Dreams, and soon after, he fell ill. Aira will ask to see
Roan's Medal, and she knows that he got it from his mom. Sandra will say
that the villagers don't like her, because they think she's a witch.
Aira's blindness was cured suddenly, and Sandra thanks Granas for that,
and this happened at about the same time the village's curse started, so
that's why they blame her. Ryudo will tell Elena there's nothing she can
do, and that they need to start heading to the Cathedral again. She'll
agree, and Roan will get his Medal back. Aira will be startled at
something, and then say that scary people have come. Head outside and go
back across the bridge.
Everybody is running around and shouting, and Ryudo asks what's happening;
a villager tells him that the Priestess has finally arrived. Head to the
entrance to town and Elena will recognize the Cathedral Knights. The
Priestess, Selene, will tell the Chief that this village is full of
darkness, but they will find and destroy the evil. Ryudo will ask Elena if
she knows her; she does, and she says that this town may be in trouble.
Go up to her, and she'll recognize Elena as a Sister of Granas. She wasn't
told that there was a Sister in town, so Elena tells her that she's just
traveling to the Cathedral. Selene will bless herself and Elena, and wish
her good luck in her duty. Talk to her again, and even though Elena needs
to go to the Cathedral, Selene won't let you pass. She'll ask who Ryudo
is, and he tells her that he is her bodyguard. Ryudo will try to persuade
her to let them pass, but she still refuses. He thinks that her definition
of "purify" is to kill everyone, according to Roan, who once heard of a
village burned to the ground by the Knights.
Elena will want to know what happens if a Dark One is discovered, and
Selene's response; the whole village would be burned by the "Holy" fire.
The Chief will then have second thoughts about having her come, even
though the fire only cleanses the "dirty" people, which Ryudo still
doubts. Selene will ask of the situation in this town, and they will go
and talk about it. Ryudo decides that there's too much security to try to
sneak out, so they'll have to stay there another night. Head to the Inn.
Talk to Irina to spend the night, and have a dinner scene. Everyone
wonders what is so bad about the people here, since they are only
struggling. Ryudo thinks that the Knights are the real problem. Mareg
doesn't SMELL evil, but something SMELLS awry. Ryudo feels kind of safe,
knowing that they probably wouldn't kill a Sister, but he still has doubt.
Elena will be looking at Valmar's Moon, wondering if it is always staring
down at them. She wonders about Valmar being in her, and Ryudo tries to
persuade her that Millenia's not all bad. She says Millenia is Darkness
itself, and she may be trying to revive Valmar. Ryudo tries to cheer her
up, but she becomes ticked. Ryudo will pull out a knife, and tell her that
she's not giving him a choice, and to either suffer with it or end it now.
Elena will agree to let him do it, so he can destroy Valmar. Ryudo can't
do it, and his explanation is that he is protecting her, and to hire
someone else for other deeds. She'll hurry off to bed, and then Ryudo will
as well.
Ryudo will be having a nightmare, where a bunch of eyes are staring at him
and wherever he runs, there are more. A big eye will appear, and then
he'll have some horrible flashbacks. When he wakes up, he says that he had
almost forgotten about that incident. Go look out the window, and Ryudo
will see a flying eye! That's what was in his dream! Everyone will rush
in, asking what happened. Ryudo will tell them the source of this
village's troubles is that flapping eyeball. You have to go check on Irina
now.
Go in the Manager's Room to see an eyeball leave, and that it has already
gotten Irina. Skye will go follow it, and you need to follow him. Head out
of the Inn, and you'll see flying eyes everywhere; they'll be heading to a
cave. Go across the bridge, and go south-southwest to find a Save Point.
Use it, and head up to the ramp. Skye will show up, confirming that the
eyeballs went into the fissure, so go into the Mysterious Fissure.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
[ s1.513 - Mysterious Fissure ]

[My Level] Ryudo [23], Elena [23], Roan [23], Mareg [24] Follow the path
[Save Points] Mysterious Fissure Underground until you reach
[Gold] 500G, 1500G (2000G) a fork. Head west-northwest
[Items] Bone Harp, Purifying Herb first to find a [_RAINCOAT_] under a
[Equipment] Raincoat, Wing Boots bone-like structure, then go south-
[Valuables] Book of Warriors southwest to find [_500G_]. Go back to
[Enemies] Giant Crab--(560 HP) the fork and head northeast. Follow the
Twin Ogre---(680 HP) path down into a large area; from the
Hammerhead--(830 HP) entrance to the large area, go southeast
Eyeball Bat-(3000 HP) to find a chest with [_WING BOOTS_]
under a skull, and then go north to find
a [_BONE HARP_]. Then head north-northwest from the entrance to the large
area, and find [_1500G_] under some large bones. From the gold, head
southwest to find a [_PURIFYING HERB_], then go north and follow the path,
and go on and around the coiled rock. Keep following the path, and you'll
find a Save Point; use it and head east to reach the Depths.
Keep going, and you'll see another broken Seal of Granas! Elena will see a
flower, and she says that she has seen it before. Four Eyeball Bats will
then appear, and attack you! It's not a boss battle, but be sure to focus
all of your best attacks on ONE of them at a time so they cannot use their
Delta Burst attack. It's rather easy, and you'll receive a
[_BOOK OF WARRIORS_] when you beat all of them.
Elena thinks the villagers may be cured, but Ryudo disagrees; this was
different than Gadan, and they were too easy to be the real thing. Back at
the Inn, Elena tells everyone that Irina has also fallen asleep, and will
not wake up. Some more people fell ill last night, and others had
nightmares again. Ryudo has been having nightmares of his past, and Roan
had a nightmare that he saw his mother die. Mareg had a nightmare of his
village being destroyed by Melfice, but Elena slept just fine.
Ryudo thinks that maybe Aira has been possessed by Valmar. Elena doesn't
think so, since she is an innocent little girl. A villager will come in
and tell you that Selene has called a town meeting in the Town Hall. Head
out of the Inn and go to Town Hall by switching the destination on the
compass and following it there.
We are the only four that are awake in this meeting. Selene will come in
and tell everyone that she must start the purification immediately. Ryudo
tells her that they saw the Darkness last night, which were the flying
eyeballs. Elena tries to persuade her to find them, but she says that they
are just servants, and she needs to find the real thing. Ryudo doesn't
think that she's listening, and Elena just wants the town to be saved
without bloodshed. Selene says that she will find the evil one, that way
they won't have to "purify" the entire village. She'll leave, and Mareg
will suggest going further into the Fissure to investigate.
When you leave the Hall and get near the Fissure, Aira will come out and
ask if you came to play with her. She wants you to go to a fun place, and
she'll head into her shed; follow her in and talk to her. She'll tell you
that it's her fault her mom is suffering, and she'll jump into a hole. Use
the action icon to follow her down.
You'll land where the broken Seal of Granas is! You'll head to the center
and talk to Aira; she wants everyone to get along, and she wants everybody
to come to the Garden of Dreams, then she'll warp you to the Garden. Aira
talks about how after she was cured, all of the villagers hated her mother
and everybody hated each other. When the people come to the Garden, they
forget all of their bad memories, and they become fairies, and live
happily.
Something will shine on Aira's head, and an eye will appear where her scar
is. She claims that it's the eye that Granas gave her. Elena realizes that
it is the Eye of Valmar, and she will tell her to stop making everyone
suffer. She only trusts her mother, and she'll see that your party is
going to go after her. She still insists that it's the eye of Granas, and
that Elena is in the same situation as her; Elena will hug her, and tell
her that she isn't. Aira will force her off, and run away, to go to her
mother. Ryudo suggests going back to the village, since something may be
happening there. Head through Lumir Forest and go back to Mirumu.
Back in Mirumu, the Cathedral Knights along with Selene will be demanding
Sandra's excuse for her daughter's illness suddenly being cured. Selene
doesn't think that Granas would help someone like her, and asks where Aira
is. Sandra won't let her know, and Selene starts to think of what she
should do with the two that conspire with Darkness. She'll ask the
townspeople if they side with Darkness or not, and if they do, they must
suffer the consequences. The villagers will start yelling at Sandra to
stop the curse she put upon them, and Sandra will be at Selene's knees,
asking what she has done wrong. Selene will knock Sandra down, and Aira
will come running toward her. Selene will notice Aira's evil eye, and she
says that she has discovered Valmar!
Back at your party, you need to head over to Sandra's House. Sandra is
still knocked out, and they'll then see Selene and company. Roan and Mareg
will stay behind as Elena and Ryudo go and talk to Selene. Ryudo wants to
know what Selene is doing, ganging up on Aira since she's just a little
girl. Selene thinks that Ryudo is corresponding with Darkness, when he
says that Aira doesn't even know what's going on. Selene says that she is
just cleansing the world of Darkness, and Elena should as well! Elena
tries to ask her if there's another way to help out Aira. Selene starts to
think that even a Sister of Granas may be conspiring with evil.
Elena starts to think she may be doing something wrong, but Ryudo tells
her that there's nothing wrong with protecting the helpless. Aira will see
that her mother has regained consciousness, and Sandra will see Aira's
evil eye; Aira sees that even her mother thinks she's a monster. Elena
will try to tell Aira that Sandra's just shocked, and Aira tells everyone
to leave her alone. She'll then vanish, which will knock Elena out.
Since Aira got away, Selene blames Ryudo and company for letting her
go. She'll have her Knights start to search the area, and she states that
she will not forget what happened today with Ryudo, then she'll leave.
When Ryudo tries to wake Elena up, Millenia will appear again!
Sandra starts to wonder what she has done, and blames herself for what
happened. She thought something was wrong when Aira took Nicolas to the
Garden of Dreams, and that's when she learned to see what others were
thinking. Sandra became afraid, and when she prayed, she didn't know that
Valmar was listening instead of Granas. Roan says that any loving parent
would've done the same thing. Sandra wants you to kill her, since she is
beyond hope, and so that she doesn't cause anymore grief. Ryudo says that
he will find a way to help, but Millenia says that she'll just rip it out
of her, which will shatter her soul. (How nice of her.)
Ryudo gets even more ticked at hearing this, and Sandra says that if they
can't find any other way, put her out of her misery. Millenia is up for
it, but of course, she is part of Valmar, so it is expected. Millenia
tells Ryudo that most people run from reality so they don't have to face
life; Ryudo will have heard enough and scream at Millenia to shut up. He
thinks that Millenia has never suffered alone, so she wouldn't know what
Aira is going through.
Ryudo wonders what was wrong with just wanting everybody to be happy and
why Aira deserved this. The eyeballs will start flying around, and
Millenia says that Aira is now suffering, and that they need to hurry.
Before you head to the Garden of Dreams, you need to buy Millenia some new
equipment and equip it on her so she's prepared. When you're done, go to
Lumir Forest.
Follow the compass to the Garden of Dreams. When you get to the center,
you'll see that Aira is nowhere to be found. Millenia say that she is
here, but she's hiding, so just wait a second. She'll open a portal to the
broken Seal of Granas. In here, you can see a portal to the northeast.
Ryudo wants to know what this portal is, and Millenia tells him that it is
the entryway to Aira's soul. Millenia will ask if you are ready.

nearby. Keep going north, and when you come to the edge, go east and there
will be a bridge. When you walk on it, it will seem to disappear, but it's
still there to walk on, so don't worry. Past halfway through, take the
fork south and at the end you can find some [_RED SHOES_].
Go back and finish crossing the bridge. To the east near the edge is
[_500G_]. Move southward and follow the path, and you'll soon reach a big
bell. Use the action icon to ring it, and a huge whale will come to your
position. You'll automatically jump on to it, and it will take you to the
other side. Head west and follow the path to a large area; before you
continue going northwest, you can find [_1500G_] to the north beside a
machine. Now go northwest and step in the bubble to go to Aira's Space 2.
Cross the stone bridge, and then move south, then southwest to find a pink
bridge with an eye on it. Use the action icon to get rid of it, and after
crossing it, go northwest to find another one. Get the [_BATTLE MANICURE_]
on the other side, and then go back to the first eyeball bridge that you
crossed.
Go south-southeast to find a big chest beside some trees containing some
[_ILLUSION CLOTHES_], a [_MIRAGE EARRING_], and [_BONDS OF TRUST_]. Head
south through the trees, and go across the eyeball bridge to find
[_500G_] to the north. From the bridge here, go west-northwest to the
edge, then south-southeast to find yet another eyeball bridge. Cross it,
then go east-northeast and cross the stone bridge here.
To the south-southeast is a [_MOEBIUS RING_], which is quite a nifty
accessory. The land is now shifting, so it all looks sideways or upside
down, or something like that. Head north and around the fence, then cross
the log bridge inside of the fence to find [_1500G_], and then go south,
around the rock, around the fence, and across another log bridge. Walk on
the fence, then use it as a ladder to go up, and then back down on the
other side. Go north across the bridge and then go north to find [_500G_].
Go around the fence, and when you go in it, it will be blocked off by
pillars, and to get them down, you must defeat the monsters that drop
down. After they go back down, use the Save Point. Go southwest and the
gigantic eyeball will fly up, and a bridge will form leading to it. Use
the action icon to jump on it, and then enter the Room of Solitude.
You'll see Aira in here, in the center of the room. She wonders why you
won't leave her alone, and why everybody hates her. Ryudo will tells her
that he'll take her to her mother, but she doesn't believe him. She sees
that Millenia only wants to eat her, and she knows that Sandra had asked
them to kill her too. She'll yell at you to just go away. She'll teleport
into the eye, and the Eye of Valmar will rise out. 4 Eyeball Bats will
join her, and you'll enter your second Valmar Battle.

After the battle, you'll be back in the Garden of Dreams. Ryudo still
doesn't understand why Millenia still has to devour Aira; she says that
one of them has to devour the other, and Millenia isn't going to be the
one to be eaten. She says that this is the only way to do it.
Sandra will show up, finally seeing the Garden of Dreams. She'll see Aira
and will apologize; Sandra loves Aira more than anyone else, and that she
never thought that Aira was a monster. Aira will tell her that this is
the Garden of Dreams that Sandra told her about. Aira will ask Millenia to
take out the eye, since she has seen her mother smile, and she doesn't
need it anymore. She understands everything now.
Sandra will want her to stop, but Aira tells her not to worry; she has to
get rid of the eye so everyone else will stop suffering. She'll tell her
that she loves her, and Millenia will remove it. The Garden will disappear
and the fairies will return to their bodies. Ryudo feels bad now, since he
couldn't save Aira. Sandra thanks Ryudo for giving her courage to come
here, and that in the end, they had saved her.
Sandra wonders what she should do now since Aira is 'dead'; Millenia
suggests ending her life. Everyone will become angry, but after that,
Millenia points out a single flower, which is Aira's heart. She'll tell
Sandra that if those flowers fill up this place, Aira might come back.
Sandra is now determined to make that happen. Ryudo will point out to
Millenia that she said that there was no other way to help her, and
Millenia will try to lie her way out of it, but you can't con a con artist
unless you are better than Ryudo.
Back at Mirumu, Elena also feels sorry since there is nothing that she
could do either. The party thinks that she may still have a chance, and
will tell Sandra not to lose hope. Nicolas will show up and wonder if Aira
can come out to play. Aira is still sleeping, so she can't, and Elena
tells him to be nice to Aira, since they're friends. He'll leave, and
Ryudo suggests that they get a move on too. Leave her house.
When you get near the Inn, you'll see Selene. She still thinks that Sandra
and Aira should be put before the Inquisition. Ryudo tells her to back off
since the townspeople have recovered. Elena tells her that Aira can't see
or hear, and that she is harmless. Elena asks her to leave Aira alone, but
Selene still wants those tainted by Valmar to be dealt with. Ryudo keeps
telling her that there was nothing wrong with a mother wanting her
daughter cured.
Selene thinks that Ryudo wants to protect them, and thinks that he is a
heretic. Ryudo sarcastically admits to it, and just wants them to leave
those two alone. The Village Chief states that everything has been
resolved, and wants Selene to not cause anymore trouble. Selene will
finally agree to go, and then she'll tell Elena that she is lacking in
piety, and she will report it to Zera. She'll finally leave with her
Cathedral Knights.
Do whatever you need to do, such as stay at the Inn, go to the store, or
whatever. When you're finished, leave Mirumu, then go to the St. Heim
Mountains.

until you reach a fork; keep going east and follow the path until you run
into a [_1500G_] chest. Go back and head south up to a big area, where
Ryudo will decide to camp out for tonight.
Everyone is wondering if what they did was right, and Roan says that it
was a good thing that the village wasn't burnt down. They also wonder what
Millenia's motives are and what she is doing here. Mareg says that her
SMELL is different than that of Melfice. While they can't figure out
Millenia's purpose, Ryudo suggests going to bed.
The next morning, you'll see a Save Point to your south. Use it if you
want, then go south-southeast. Follow the path until you reach the
Waterfall. Follow this path to a big chest, in which you will find a
[_BATTLE MANICURE_], a [_SILVER FEATHER_], and a [_GODSPEED RING_]. Go
back into the Caverns.
Go back to the area near the Save Point, and take the southern west path
all the way back out to the Base. Head northeast and grab [_1500G_], then
keep going, using the action icon to jump on the rocks, then use the other
one to get on the other side. Head east and then south into the Caverns.
Go south-southwest and follow the path to a [_YOMI'S ELIXIR_], then go
over to the rock to the south-southwest, push it down, then go down the
stairs.
Move northwest and curve around, down the stairs, and pick up the
[_MACH BOOTS_] in the corner. Go back up the stone stairs and continue
going east, then go southeast around the rock, and pick up [_500G_]. Keep
following the path until you reach Halfway Up. You'll reach another large
area, and Ryudo will suggest staying here tonight. Roan and Mareg will go
to get some water, leaving Ryudo and Elena alone.
Ryudo says that they're almost there. Elena didn't think that they'd make
it this far if Ryudo hadn't been with them. She has learned many things,
and she'll thank Ryudo for what he has done. Ryudo admits that he did some
things that he wouldn't normally do because of Elena. He says it was worth
it, and that he had never enjoyed one of his jobs before.
Elena asks Ryudo if Zera will be able to exorcise Valmar inside of her,
but he really doesn't know either. He asks Elena why she is so nice; she
says it's because the souls of the people are weak, and she needs to help
them see the light. She still wonders if Zera may be able to help her.
Ryudo will tell her that she will see Zera tomorrow, and she can ask then.
Mareg and Roan will come back. Mareg will fancily and complicatedly
explain that they got lost. Now it's dinnertime; everybody is happy to be
so close to the Cathedral, near the end of their journey. They'll also
talk about people's prayers, and after that, Ryudo says that it is time
for bed.
Head east to reach a Save Point, then keep following the path. Pick up the
[_500G_] along the way, and you should see an axe in the pond to the east-
southeast. We can't get it at this moment, so keep going southwest until
you reach a fork. Go south-southeast, and follow it up to a rock; push
this rock down to block the water movement, then go back down and around
and then pick up the [_DRAGONSLAYER AXE_].
Back at the fork again, keep going west until you reach a
[_HOLY WOUND SALVE_]. Move west some more to go down to the Base, then
follow the path to the Waterfall. Follow this path to a three-way fork;
northwest is a dead-end, and southwest is a dead-end, but it shows a nice
view of the waterfall. Head east until you're back at the Halfway Up
point.
Head east, and grab the [_500G_] along the way. Keep following the path,
and you'll run into some steam coming out of the mountain. If Ryudo gets
hit by it, you'll lose HP and get knocked down to the lower level. Keep
following the path until you can find a [_1500G_] chest to the west of a
fork. Then head south to a large area.
There's a [_SEED OF SPELLS_] behind some bushes to the south-southeast, so
grab it. To the west is a dead-end with a big door; don't worry about it,
it's useless. Head south to reach East Silesia, then go to St. Heim Papal
State. We're finally there!
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
[ s1.516 - St. Heim Papal State (1) ]
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
[My Level] Ryudo [31], Elena [30], Roan [30], Mareg [31] As you enter,
[Save Points] St. Heim Inn, Cathedral Guestroom Corridor Elena will
[Valuables] Book of Priests, Poff Nut exclaim that
they've finally made it! The gate
guard will come and ask what your business is. Elena will tell him that
Carius from Carbo had sent her to talk to Zera about the Ceremony of
Sealing. He'll agree to take her there now, but Elena decides she'll wait
until tomorrow.
Ryudo says that they've come to the end of this journey, and Elena wonders
what he will do now. He is still concerned about his brother, and Mareg
and Roan decide that they will accompany him when he leaves. Roan wants to
take a look at the stories told by the Church before he leaves, though;
Ryudo agrees, since he has nowhere else to go. Ryudo then wants to know
why Elena wants to wait until tomorrow; she says she wants to be neat
before she goes, since it is an audience. Ryudo suggests staying at the
Inn, so do whatever you need to do, such as go to the store, and then go
to the Inn.
Choose to spend the night, and you'll be at a dinner scene. Elena will
thank everybody for helping her reach the Cathedral. Elena doesn't know
how to repay them, and Ryudo says that it was just his job; Elena jumps at
him for saying that, because she knows that there was more to it than
that. A priest comes in and asks Elena to come to the Cathedral now. Even
though she is in the middle of dinner, she'll agree. She'll tell everybody
goodbye, and they'll wish her luck as she leaves. The job is done, and
Ryudo has to figure out what to do next.
Zera will be talking to Elena about her mission, and the need to seal
Valmar away since the Day of Darkness is coming. She will also need to
find the Granasaber; doing this will also save her, and she must succeed,
for the whole world will depend on her.
Back at the Inn, Ryudo is feeling a little sad, as is Roan. He'd like to
go into the Cathedral to check out some stuff, because he still doesn't
understand the whole Light and Darkness confrontation. A priest will come
in and tell Ryudo that the Pope requests for him to come to the Cathedral
right away, along with his companions. Head out of the Inn, and change
your destination on the compass so you can find your way to the Cathedral.
At the Cathedral, Ryudo's impressed about the sheer size of the place. The
gate guard will direct Ryudo to the Audience Chamber, so head through the
doors, then go forward and talk to the priest here. Ryudo can go through,
but the others can't, so Roan will head to the library to check things
out. He'll ask if he can lead them to the library.
[1] Go. Lead. Choose option 1 and he'll tell you to go on in
[2] Hang on a second. while he takes them to the library. They'll leave,
so head into the Audience Chamber.
The priest here will tell you to quietly make your way because the service
is still in progress. You'll hear the choirgirls singing, then you'll see
Zera speak. Selene and Cardinal Oro are there, and they're all trying to
figure out what to do about the rumors of Valmar resurfacing. Zera will
chide Selene about going too far with her Cathedral Knights, since they're
scaring away the followers of Granas, then he'll send everyone back to
their rooms. When the service is finished, he'll finally talk to Ryudo.
Ryudo will compliment his speech, and Zera will apologize for making him
wait, then he'll invite him to the next room. Follow him and Elena to the
left room, then enter the Pope's Room. In here, Ryudo will ask about
Elena's condition, and Zera will tell him that he cannot do anything,
which is why he asked him here. He wants Ryudo to find the Granasaber,
and bring it back here so they can defeat the Darkness. Zera promises
Ryudo whatever he wishes as payment, but he wants Elena to go with him.
Ryudo will begin to think that the request is absurd, but he will sleep on
it, and Zera will wait for his answer tomorrow.
Head out of the room, and Elena will come to talk to Ryudo. She'll beg for
him to consider his request, then she'll run back in. Leave here, and
you'll see Oro talking, to be interrupted when Ryudo walks in. He demands
to know what Zera told him, and Ryudo'll tell him. Oro doesn't see why
he'd pick him compared to others, and he'll also tell him to just give up
even trying to find the Granasaber. Ryudo will just ignore him, and he'll
leave. Head out to the Lobby.
Talk to the guy here, and he'll tell you that the library is up the stairs
to the left and is the second room up there, so go there. Use the Save
Point if you want outside of the room, then head in. Roan will ask Ryudo
what the Pope said, and after a short scene, they'll find out. Mareg will
say that dinner is ready in the other room, so leave this room and go to
the guestroom. Talk to the priest here, and he'll say that dinner's almost
ready, so just wait. The scene will switch...
Oro will be complaining to himself about Ryudo trying to find the
Granasaber. He'll try using something on his table, then it breaks. He
says it's an evil sign, and the Day of Darkness draws near. The light
changes, and you'll see Millenia outside, flying around. She'll break in
to Oro's room, and you'll be back at dinner. Ryudo tells them that he's
going to look for the sword, and they decide to go with him.
A guard will come in and tell you that Valmar has taken human form and
entered the Cathedral, then leave. Ryudo wonders what Millenia is up to,
then you'll regain control. Head out, then down the stairs, then go to
the right side and up those stairs to the Cathedral Balcony. Talk to
Millenia, and she'll know that Ryudo's going to search for the Granasaber.
She says she doesn't care if she's out, as long as she gets to follow
Ryudo around again.
After the scene's over, you'll be back in the guestroom. Head out, then
down the stairs. Go back into the Audience Chamber, and go talk to Zera.
Ryudo will ask whom the sword will belong to and how it will be used. Zera
says that it is only to be used to strike down Valmar, and it will belong
to no one. He agrees to find the sword, just so he can help end the
suffering in the world. Zera tells Ryudo that he must face the past if he
wants the Granasaber, and he'll also give Elena the [_BOOK OF PRIESTS_] as
a gift. Everyone will get back together, and you'll regain control.
Head out of the Cathedral, and after a little discussion outside, the
party will decide to go to the Kingdom of Cyrum where Roan lived. Get
whatever you need in town, then head to the outside of the Inn. You should
see a blue-haired man in a green hat. Talk to him, and he'll tell you that
he used to be a drunk, but he is changing. He'll also return to his son in
Cyrum one day. Since we're heading to Cyrum, he'll ask you for something.
Talk to him again, and he'll tell you to give a message to his son, Mark.
[1] Sorry, try someone else. Choose option 2 to agree with him, and
[2] Sure, I don't mind. he'll ask you to tell him that "I'm working
hard. I'm coming to see you, so please wait
for me." He'll also give you a [_POFF NUT_] as a token of his gratitude.
Thanks to DrkVmp for finding this Poff Nut!
After that, head out of St. Heim, and mosey on over to the St. Heim
Pilgrim Road.

Twin Ogre-(680 HP) you wish, then go down the northwestern
Chameleon-(780 HP) ladder beside them. Head north-northwest to
find a [_HOLY WOUND SALVE_], then head east
and northeast to a large area with many forks. The southeastern corner
contains [_1500G_], so grab that and then go to the western corner to find
[_500G_], then go east-northeast from it to find another [_500G_]. Go
north, then east to an area with a set of trees and a grassy area between
two paths. The northeasternmost southeast path contains a
[_SEED OF MOVES_], while the other one contains [_500G_].
From the gold, follow the southwestern wall all the way around until you
come to an underpass. Go through it to the other side, and follow the path
to a fork. Go south to find a [_MAGIC BLESSING_] against the wall, then go
directly northwest to find a [_POISONED KNIFE_]. Follow the eastern wall
as you go southeast, and you should come to a ladder. Climb up, then go
northeast, but before you reach the next fountain, you should see a break
in the wall. Go east through it, then go all the way south-southeast to
find a [_POFF NUT_], then go north from it to find a [_BRAVERY BANDANA_]
in a chest.
That's it for the Pilgrim Road, so head back up the ladder, and go
northeast to East Silesia. Then go to Raul Hills.

[Enemies] Land Cougar-(1000 HP) area. What am I to do? Well,
Twin Ogre---(680 HP) start off by going north-northeast to
Chameleon---(780 HP) the Save Point here. From it, go east-
Dragonoid---(960 HP) northeast to a fence; there's a
[_THUNDER RING_] on the other side of
it in a chest. From the chest, go east-southeast, and you should come upon
a tree with a fence around it. Get the [_BUSTER FLAIL_] lying there beside
the tree, then go southwest until you reach a wall of trees. Follow this
wall as it turns southeast and east, and go along the river to find
[_1500G_] at a dead-end. Follow along the river until you reach a bridge;
cross it into the maze.
Go northeast, past the first southeastern path, then take the second
southeastern path, and go forward and southwest to find a
[_BLACKQUARTZ HELM_]. Go back to the bridge, and go southwest, southeast,
then northeast when you first get the chance, then northwest to find an
enclosed [_500G_] to your northeast. Go back to the southwest wall and
continue southeast, past the stairs, then go northeast, southeast and
south to an enclosed [_EARTHEN CUIRASS_].
Go against the southeastern wall and head northeast. After you pass the
fourth pillar, head northwest up the stairs, then southwest and around to
find [_1500G_] to your northeast. Go back to the southeastern wall, then
follow it back to the southwestern wall. Go northwest, and when you get
back to the green stairs, follow that exact color of blocks to the other
side. Once on the other side, head northwest to find another [_500G_],
then follow the compass arrow to Raul Hills 2.
Slash the two bubbles near you to find a [_GOLDEN NUT_] and a
[_WEAKNESS NUT_], then go directly northeast to another bubble; this one
has a [_SEED OF PSYCHE_] in it. Go east to a bubble, but it doesn't have
anything in it, but go east some more to a bubble containing a
[_GOLDEN NUT_]. Go north-northwest to find two more bubbles; the one to
the northeast has a [_SEED OF DEFENSE_].
Head west-southwest back to the entrance, then turn around and follow the
road until you see a tree to your south. Go southeast-east from it to
three bubbles. You'll find a [_SEED OF LIFE_] in one, Chameleons in
another, and nothing in another. Follow along the southeastern wall to
another bubble; this one has a [_MYRIAD POWER NUT_]. Go on the other side
of the northeastern fence and pop those three bubbles to find a
[_SEED OF POWER_], nothing, and Chameleons.
Go north-northwest from the nut and you'll find two rocks and a chest on
top of a bigger one. Chop down the first, then the second rock, then get
the [_QUAKE STONE_], [_SCROLL OF ALHEAL_], and [_RAGE RING_] out of the
big chest. Go back down and go to the fork in the road. Go far east-
northeast to find a [_REVIVAL GEM_] in a bubble.
Go back to the fork and take the northwestern path. There's a Save Point
along the way, so use it if you want, then cross the bridge. Follow the
path until you see a second tree to your north; go northwest of that
tree to find a [_GOLDEN NUT_] in a bubble. Go southwest along the road to
find two more bubbles; one has some Chameleons in it; the other has
nothing. Go south from the Chameleon bubble to find another bubble; pop
it to find a [_SEED OF MAGIC_]. We'll be back in a second, but you need to
go southwest back to Raul Hills 1 for a moment.
When you get to the broken bridge, head west-northwest to a bubble. Pop
it for yet another [_GOLDEN NUT_], then go northwest-west to find
[_1500G_]. Go west-southwest to pop a bubble with a [_SEED OF LIFE_],
then follow the wall northeast to a bubble with an [_EXHAUSTION NUT_].
Pretty exhausting finding all of these items, but that's okay. Head back
to Raul Hills 2.
Follow the road as it turns down into the dock, and board the boat. Once
you re-dock on the other side, go west along the river and pop the three
nearby bubbles for nothing, Chameleons, and nothing. Then go west-
northwest to another bubble; this one has a [_PATIENCE NUT_]. Then go
northeast to the very last bubble with something in it; our fifth
[_GOLDEN NUT_]. That's it for the Raul Hills until later, so follow the
compass arrow to East Silesia. Then head to the Cyrum Kingdom.
*[.NOTE.]* I'm going to spend a little bit of time at Raul Hills and level
up. Don't panic if you're levels don't match mine; you'll still do fine.

[My Level] Ryudo [34], Elena [34], Roan [34], Mareg [34] When you enter
[Save Points] Cyrum Inn Downstairs Cyrum, the
[Valuables] Poff Nut x3 camera will show you the view of the
large city. Elena and Mareg are enjoying the
view, but Roan says it's all just a facade, and the true Cyrum will show
its ugly form when the time comes. The people of Cyrum are the Descendants
of the People of Darkness, so Ryudo wants to know if the Granasaber is
here or not. Roan suggests that they get a room so they can figure out
where to start looking for the Granasaber.
As always, before you go to the Inn, check out the city and its stores.
First off, head north, and after the second bridge, take the eastern path
across another bridge into the Port. Talk to the little boy you first see
here; he's Mark. Talk to him and Ryudo'll give him the message that his
dad asked him to deliver. Talk to him a second time, and Mark will give
you another [_POFF NUT_] for letting him know about his dad. Thanks, yet
again, to DrkVmp for finding this.
When you're done messing around, head to the Inn and choose to stay the
night. The innkeeper says he can't put you up tonight because of the
festival, and he also notices that Roan looks a little like the pri...
Roan asks about the festival, and the innkeeper tells him about it. He
then asks him to put his friends up for the night while Roan goes home.
At dinner, they suggest they might as well check out the town to see if
they can find any clues about the Granasaber. The innkeeper suggests
going to the bazaar in the Castle Square, and to ask someone named Hemble.
But to talk to him, Ryudo and Elena will have to ask as a couple. Elena
will get upset about it and run off to her room.
In her room, Elena is wondering why she got so upset, and that it's
Ryudo's fault for not denying it. Elena decides to go to sleep, and when
she does, that light starts to shine, and voila! It's Millenia.
In the castle, the King is talking to one of his consuls, saying that
they can no longer hide "it" from the people. After some talking, a man
will appear; The King and the man will talk some more, about how the
people's wishes will come true, even without the Prince's medal!
(hint hint)
The next morning, Elena's sleeping in as Ryudo tries to wake her up.
She'll jump out of bed and head over to the mirror, where she'll see a
message on it; "Elena, I know you like Ryudo! Let him know it!" She'll
then come down and your party will get ready to go to the bazaar. Mareg
says that he'll just go to the harbor so the 'couple' looks more like a
normal couple. Head out, and change your destination to the Informant's
Tent, then start making your way over to the Tent, but don't talk to the
guy here just yet.
To the north of the actual tent is a goldfishing game (you have to go
clockwise around the fountain). DrkVmp said that if you let Elena do the
fishing (only when it's just Ryudo and Elena in the party), you will win
a Poff Nut, but I tried it numerous times and it didn't work. Here's why:
illogical1 told me this: To get the Poff Nuts fishing with Elena and
Millenia, first you have to talk to the child near Mau's tent. (which is
south of the drink stand) She will offer to tell you the secret to
catching goldfish.
[1] I'm not interested, thanks. Accept her offer (2) and she will tell
[2] OK, so what's the secret? you that you must smile at them. After
that, Elena and Millenia will be able
[1] Not now. Maybe later. to catch fish.
[2] OK, I'm up for a challenge.
[3] Elena, do you want to try? If you go over to the fishing stand,
choose option 3 to let the Elena try.
Now that you know the secret, you'll receive a [_POFF NUT_], but only one.
When you can fish with Millenia, you'll be able to get one more. Thanks
again to illogical1 for the info.
Anyway, head to the Informant's Tent. When you finally make it there, talk
to the sailor-looking guy; he's Mr. Hemble, and he won't talk to anyone
without a proper introduction. Elena will be hesitant at first, but she'll
finally agree to it. Ryudo will talk to him again since they're really
close and holding hands and stuff, and Hemble will want to know what Ryudo
needs. They'll go in the tent to talk.
Talk to Hemble in here, and he'll start to badmouth Elena and Ryudo,
saying that Ryudo is weak and has a bad temper, and a bunch of other stuff
to make him mad. Hemble will then challenge Ryudo to an arm wrestling
match.
Use the R1 button to add power to your arm, but you can't let your
endurance reach 0, so push X to restore your endurance, but you can't use
R1 and X at the same time. Start the game, and good luck. (Yesss! Original
Grandia battle music!!!) Elena will mention his nose hairs are sticking
out, and that's when you overpower him. When you win, Ryudo will ask him
what he knows about the Divine Sword. He knows nothing about it, and the
whole thing was just a waste of time.
Outside, Elena is making fun of how much Ryudo was blushing, and they'll
say that they are having fun, and sit on one of the benches. Ryudo will go
get Elena something to drink while she rests. Go over to the stand beside
the tent and talk to the vendor.
[1] Love potion? Choose the blank drink on the bottom, option 4, which
[2] Power-up? is just normal juice. Once you have it, go back to
[3] Flower water!? see Elena, only to find that Millenia has taken her
[4] [ ] place!
She'll run over to him, but he'll ignore her until she starts clinging on
to him. Eventually, she'll let go, then she'll want to be with Ryudo for
just a little while. She'll join for a while, so equip her with anything
you bought for her at the store (if you did). According to DrkVmp, you can
obtain another Poff Nut by playing the goldfishing game and letting
Millenia fish, so go over to the stand.
[1] Nah, not now. Choose option 3, and Millenia will catch
[2] OK, sure. I'll try. five fish at once! (but only if she
[3] Go ahead Millenia, try it. smiled) You'll receive another
[_POFF NUT_], but the lady here won't let
you fish anymore, since Millenia's a 'pro'. Thanks to DrkVmp for letting
me know this was here as well, along with illogical1's way to get it.
Go back to the Informants Tent and talk to Hemble. He'll challenge you
again. You can keep Arm Wrestling
[1] OK, an arm-wrestling match! him, but this time, you can lose, so
[2] I dunno. I don't feel like it. make sure to practice. You have to
win twice each match before you get a
prize. To the left are the prizes you can win.
1x - Revival Gem This is the only time you can play this game, so
2x - Hero's Elixir make sure to win all the prizes. I found it really
3x - Silver Freeze easy to win by hitting the R1 the second or the
4x - Gold Feather second before it says GO!, then keep ahead of him
5x - Glass Slippers the whole time, and you should beat him before you
run out of endurance. After you beat him the fifth
time, he won't do it anymore because he admits that he cannot beat Ryudo.
Leave here, and leave the area where the bazaar is and Millenia will go
over to observe some people dancing. She'll start clinging to Ryudo again,
though she seems to be enjoying it. After that, Roan and Mareg will come
running to Ryudo, telling him there is trouble in the castle, and that
they must go there; to get in, they'll go in from the waterway. Roan will
direct you to where the boat is; follow the compass arrow to go there, but
if you need supplies, head over to the General Store first. When you're
done, head back to the boat.
After getting off the boat, talk to the knight in blue, Paulk. He'll tell
PRINCE Roan that he needs to hurry and talk to Menory. He'll open the
hatch, and you'll head down it.

and push the box so you can keep moving. Go around and push the red-rimmed
box here as well to make it fall down and create a bridge.
Continue south, then look for an [_ELECTRUM STONE_] in the corner to your
northeast. Continue south and down the ladder, then move west and throw
the switch so the nearby bridge will extend. Cross it, then head all the
way east to find a [_SILVER FEATHER_]. Then head all the way west and grab
[_700G_].
Head back and throw the switch you passed to extend another bridge. Cross
this one, then head west and up the complete ladder. Run north to a fork,
then go east and south to a switch; throw it to reposition the previous
wheel, as well as open a door. Go back to the fork and head north. Throw
the last switch here, then turn around and grab the [_MAGICAL BRACE_] to
your west. Use the Save Point, then backtrack to the door you opened a
little while ago, and head in.
Go up the stairs to an area where Carro will jump off your shoulder, do
a couple of flips, then run into his hole. Continue east, and when you
reach a 'dead-end' room, check the southern wall for an action icon. Use
it to open a path to the Downstairs Hall, then head through the door on

Roan will ask Menory is the Gate of Darkness is safe, which it is. Menory
and Roan will then explain more about the Gate of Darkness and its people.
Roan's Medal is the key to the Gate, but his father is trying to open it
without the Medal. Menory will tell you where the King is, so Roan decides
to go talk to him to find out his intentions. Head out of this room, use
the Save Point near the bottom of the screen, then head up the stairs. Go
to the top of the screen into the Audience Chamber, and once you're there,
go to the back-left of the room and go into the King's Office.
Roan demands to know why the King wants to open the Gate of Darkness; he
says by doing so, they'll retain their lost pride. Roan refuses to give
him his medal, but the King says that he doesn't even need it. He'll tell
everyone to prepare themselves for the Day of Darkness, then he'll leave.
After Ryudo asks, Roan will tell everyone why they are called the People
of Darkness; he'll walk over to the coat of arms, and pull the fake one
off to reveal that Valmar's crest is on their coat! A large explosion will
occur, so we need to head back down to the basement.
Save at the Save Point, then go to the Room of Demon-Sealing. Menory will
be lying on the ground, and the gate has been opened. Menory will mention
that a bringer of ruin has corrupt the King, and he'll then die. Mareg
will say that the SMELL is back; it isn't the SMELL of Valmar, it's the
SMELL of the one he's been searching for! Millenia will say that one of
her kind is definitely here. Go forward into the Underground Plant.

[Enemies] Skull Snail---(920 HP) After some words, you'll regain
Dragonoid-----(960 HP) control. Use the Save Point to your
Warp Warrior--(850 HP) west, then head east and south.
Vein Brain----(800 HP) Eventually, you'll turn west, then
*BOSS*-|-Valmar's Claw-(14000 HP) north, then west to a fork. The
|-Left Arm------(9000 HP) southwest corner has an
|-Right Arm-----(8000 HP) [_ICEFANG STONE_], so get it, then go
north to [_700G_]. Head east, north,
then west and south, following the path to an open area. Grab the
[_PARALYSIS SALVE_] to the southwest, then head north of it to find the
[_SOUL EATER_]. (Ah, the Soul Eater... so many Suiko-memories...) Head
southeast and follow the path, and when you reach some stairs, grab the
[_700G_] to the northeast of them.
Head down the stairs, then go south a little, then directly southeast to
find [_2100G_]. Go back to the stairs and go southwest and south to find a
small room with a lever; pull on it to have a bridge formed for you. Go
back up the stairs and head southwest and south over the bridge. Go south,
then west and check to your northwest to find a [_MANA HARP_], then go
east and find a [_MOVE BLESSING_]. Go down the nearby stairs and head east
and then south to the second area of the plant.
Here, head east across the long pipe to find some [_DYNAMITE_]. Head back
and go south across the pipe, then go east across the next one. Here, go
west on the middle pipe, and grab the [_REVIVAL GEM_] on the other side.
Turn right around and go east down the third pipe, and get the [_2100G_]
at the end. Go back and take the southern pipe to another platform, then
go west on the second pipe there. Grab the [_700G_] to the west, then take
the second eastern pipe.
This platform has your Save Point, so use it, then go down the ramp and
take the southern pipe. You'll end up on a platform with some monsters and
a [_FORBEAR NECKLACE_] in a chest. Go back to the previous platform and
take the eastern pipe, following it all the way to a platform that has a
switch and [_700G_]. GRAB THE GOLD FIRST, then throw the lever. Grab the
[_PARALYSIS SALVE_] to the east, then go west across the pipe. When you
hit land, go south to [_2100G_], then go north and follow the pipe until
you hit land again.
Go over and throw this switch, then cross the newly rotated pipe to find
[_700G_]. Go south across the pipe to the next platform, then take the
southernmost west pipe to find a [_FINE BROADSWORD_]. Go back and take
the other west pipe; go west, south, then east down this next pipe,
then go southeast and grab the [_FLAME STONE_]. Head west and north down
the ramp and continue north, past the pipe, and head east until you find a
[_MIRACLE ELIXIR_]. Go back to the last pipe you passed and go west and
south across it. Once you're on the next platform, go east and jump in the
cauldron-shaped elevator to go the third area of the plant.
Go east, and you should see an item on the other side of the wall, so go
around it and grab the [_HOLY WOUND SALVE_]. Head all the way south, then
check the northeast for [_700G_]. Head south, then all the way east, then
go northwest. Look around for [_2100G_] to your east or northeast, and
when you get it, go back southwest then head north, then east, then north,
then northwest and north to some [_WARP SHOES_]. Head south to a Save
Point, then go into the nearby door, and down into the Control Room.
Down here, you'll notice that it looks like some ridiculous factory, but
nothing looks like the power of Darkness. Head north toward the stairs,
and you'll start hearing some funny sounds. Behind you, some creature will
drop down. Ryudo says that it sure as hell isn't his brother, but Mareg
says the SMELL is of the same. Millenia says it's possessed by the Claws
of Valmar, and it's coming to attack!
________
|*BOSS*| Start off using your best magic for all
************************ targets; BA-BOOM!, DragonZap, Crackling,
[ Valmar's Claw-(14000 HP) ] Hellburner, Quake, everything! Fallen
[ Left Arm------(9000 HP) ] Wings, Starving Tongue, Beast-King Blast,
[ Right Arm-----(8000 HP) ] Snowball Fight! Use them all! If you run
************************ out of SP/MP and it's still not dead, use
Critical attacks so you can keep it from
[EXP] 1000 acting. It's most damaging attack is Avenging
[Gold] 2100G Claw, doing between 700-900 damage to one person,
[Special Coins] 2400 followed by the Thunder/Ice Bullet range attacks,
[Magic Coins] 1200 which will Cancel anything you're trying to do at
[Items] Book of Gales the moment. Try to keep the Left Arm from healing
Mana Insignia itself too much, and you should be able to survive
with everyone intact.
After the battle, Millenia will devour the Claws of Valmar, leaving behind
an Automata; they are soldiers that were created to fight in the Battle of
Good and Evil. Mareg is still sure that the SMELL was that of Melfice, and
Millenia says that the Claws were probably controlled by another piece of
Valmar nearby.
Roan will be having a moment, wondering why his people have been
protecting this for so long; he will go off on the nearby machine because
he's so angry, but Ryudo will make him stop, but it's too late; the plant
starts to shake and fill with smoke due to Roan's blows. As they go to
escape, Mareg will grab the Automata, then they'll all escape to the
castle.
Back in the Sealing Room, the doll, Tio, will wake up and start walking
around. Mareg will comfort her, and she'll wonder what to do, since she's
just a puppet. Roan will get upset, and decide to go talk to his father.
Tio will ask for commands, but Mareg will tell her that she is free;
they'll leave, and she'll wonder what 'free' is.
Go to the lower part of the room and SAVE, then go up the stairs, then go
to the Audience Chamber, then enter the King's Office. In here, you'll
see that the King isn't here, but then you'll hear the King being
attacked. Go into the next room, and we'll find the King, along with the
man we're looking for; Melfice.
Mareg will go to attack Melfice, but Ryudo will stop him and demand what's
going on! Melfice will mock Ryudo, infuriate Mareg, and then he'll attack
you.
________ You cannot defeat Melfice, but you must stay
|*BOSS*| alive until he uses his Wailing Soul Slash, so
****************** cast Diggin' and Speedy with the people you can,
[ Melfice-(19000 HP) ] stay healed, and Defend, unless you just want to
****************** take your anger out on him. Do so, if you can
stay alive. (Anyone notice that his Demon Horde
Slash looks a lot like Justin's Heaven & Earth Cut?)
Tio will throw in one of her rings to stop the fighting, and Melfice will
mock Ryudo some more. After more arguing, Melfice will say that they will
meet again at their home, and leave. Millenia will comment on how she
didn't have the chance to get the Horns, but she got the Claws. Tio will
be wondering again what she should do, and Mareg will tell her that she
can do whatever she wants to since she is free from Valmar.
Back in the King's Office, the King will still be set on regaining their
pride, but Roan doesn't want to live in the shadow of being the People of
Darkness anymore. The party's words will give him strength, and he decides
that they will not be bound by the past. He wants to change the kingdom so
it will no longer be bound to the mistaken tradi
