  Why can't you post my FAQ? Because the above sites are the only sites that
  keep UPDATED versions of FAQs. You wouldn't believe how annoying it is to
  get an e-mail from someone who has a question which was answered in an
  updated version of the FAQ that you posted months ago. It isn't there
  fault though, its the fault of the crappy sites who will completly ignore
  this notice and go ahead post my FAQ without my permission; which breaks
  countless international copyright laws. If you are viewing an out of date
  version of this FAQ, or if you are viewing this FAQ on a site which is not
  listed above, please contact me: [ mdrake5189@hotmail.com ]

  If you would like to post my FAQ on your site, just contact me. If you
  want to post my FAQ on your site near ANY type of advertisment, forget it;
  IT WILL NOT HAPPEN.

  If you are linking to this FAQ, please do NOT link directly to it. You can
  NOT link to a URL that ends in '.txt'; GameFAQs won't allow it. You can
  however link to the page at GameFAQs which lists all of the other FAQs for
  this game.

  Please take this serious, seriously. Thanks.

[ version 0.1 ] ------------------------------------------------------------
  JUNE 15, 2001: Started the FAQ. Walkthrough complete up to section ***

============================================================================
-------------------------- G A M E  B A S I C S ----------------------------
============================================================================

[ Controls ] ---------------------------------------------------------------
  These controls are for Exploration Mode:
  Analog Stick...run
  D-Pad..........walk
  A Button.......action
  B Button.......run/walk & cancel
  L Trigger......rotate camera
  R Trigger......rotate camera

  These controls are for Combat Mode:
  Analog Stick...NA
  D-Pad..........toggle battle selections
  A Button.......select option

[ Menu Screen ] ------------------------------------------------------------
  The Menu Screen can be acessed at any time during the game by pressing the
  Start Button. On the Menu Screen you can perform a variety of tasks; such
  as: check your status, use items, change equipment, power-up your skills,
  et cetera, et cetera. If you prefer a hands-on deal, check with the guy in
  each town's General Store.

  STATUS SCREEN: A quick glance at the status screen will give you each
  character's current HP, MP, and SP levels; you can also see any status
  abnormalties the character may currently have. If you select a character
  you will be given more in-depth info on him or her.

                HP: Hit Points           MP: Magic Points
               STR: Strength            VIT: Vitality
               AGI: Agility             SPD: Speed
               MAG: Magic               MEN: Mental Ability
               DEF: Defense             MOV: Movement

  MOVE/MAGIC: On this screen, you can see the list of all of the moves and
  magic spells any character is equipped with. You are also able to see how
  many Special Coins or Magic Coins are needed to power up a given move or
  spell.

  ITEMS: If you need to heal a character, this is the place to go. Every
  item in your inventory is listed here. They have been sorted into six
  seperate catagories: Recovery, Attack, Weapons, Armor, Accessories, and
  Valuables. Any item that appears in white can be used, while any item that
  appears in grey cannot be used.

  POWER UP: This screen powers up your moves and spells by spending Magic
  and Special Coins. You can level any move/spell up to a max level of 5.
  The higher the level, the more powerful the move, and the higher the ACT.

  SKILL EQUIP: Come to this screen to equip skills learned from Skill Books.
  You can also un-equip skills here. Later in the game you will be able to
  equip more than the starting number of three skills.

  SET AI: Personally, I don't find this screen to be very useful; I like to
  control my charcters on my own. You can assign the following strategies to
  one or all of your charcters:

          Manual: You control the character's actions.
         Go Wild: The character(s) uses only magic and special attacks.
       Play Fair: The character(s) uses only normal attacks.
      Safety 1st: The character(s) recovers more than normal.
        Power Up: The character(s) raises other allies status.
          Meanie: The character(s) uses several annoying attacks on foes.
        Withdraw: The character(s) tries to evade and/or defend.
        Each Own: The character(s) acts with personality.

  CONFIG: Here you can change the default controls, sound, et cetera.

[ Battle System ] ----------------------------------------------------------
  The Grandia II battle system may seem a bit complicated at first glance,
  but once you get the hang of it, it is a pure blast. If you are familiar
  with the battle system of the orginal Grandia, you may want to skip this
  section; or you may want to look over it to refresh your memory. The
  system is rather unconventional (as compared to Final Fantasy, per se) but
  is much more user-involved, which makes the battles somewhat *gasp* fun!
  Oh, if you ever need a quick in-game brush-up, check with the tutorial
  tutorial guys in the shops (the ones with the "?"'s over their heads).

  INIATIVE POINTS / IP BAR: The first basic (and most important) element of
  battle is the IP Bar. The IP Bar is the little bar located at the bottom
  of the screen during combat. Every ally and every enemy has a designated
  icon on the IP Bar. Each icon moves from the left side of the bar to the
  right side. When an icon reaches COM, the designated character can give
  their command; when an icon reaches ACT, the designated character will act
  upon your previous command. Initiative Points (IP) judge how fast an icon
  moves across the bar; the more IP, the faster it will move. Sounds
  complicated, I know; but it really isn't all that hard. Trust me. A
  character's progress on the meter will be slowed when they are attacked.
  If a character's command is canceled, their IP will drop and they will
  restart their movement on the IP Bar. To cancel an attack, you must strike
  an enemy with a Cancel Effect attack (such as a Critical Attack), while
  they are in between COM and ACT. It is also possible to counter an enemy's
  attack by hitting them just as they reach ACT.

  There are several commands availabe to select from once your character's
  icon reaches COM:

  COMBO ATTACK: By selecting this attack, your character will attack an
  enemy with two hits. The enemy may dodge the second hit; if the first
  hit kills the enemy, the second will be on another nearby foe.

  CRITICAL ATTACK: Critical attacks can cancel enemies actions which is a
  GREAT advantage. They won't pick up as much damage as a Combo Attack
  though.

  MOVE / MAGIC: The Move/Magic option is used for Special Moves (a la Skill
  Books) and Magic Spells (a la Mana Eggs). The character must have enough
  SP or MP to pull off the attack.

  ITEMS: Pretty elementary stuff here. You can use any of your items from
  this selection.

  AI: Here you can change the automatic strategy for any party member during
  battle. You can choose from the following strategies:

          Manual: You control the character's actions.
         Go Wild: The character(s) uses only magic and special attacks.
       Play Fair: The character(s) uses only normal attacks.
      Safety 1st: The character(s) recovers more than normal.
        Power Up: The character(s) raises other allies status.
          Meanie: The character(s) uses several annoying attacks on foes.
        Withdraw: The character(s) tries to evade and/or defend.
        Each Own: The character(s) acts with personality.

  EVADE: Use this command when you don't have enough time to counter an
  enemy's attack. You will be given a few options of where on the
  battlefield you can run. This can come in mighty handy.

  DEFEND: When you don't have time to counter OR evade, use Defend. By
  defending, you are able to absorb some of the damage from the enemy's
  attack.

  ESCAPE: When you don't feel like fighting, for whatever reason, just
  escape and you're home-free.

SPOILERS: I don't like 'em and I've done my absolute best to try and avoid
          'em. Of course, one or two will sneak their way in the guide but
          I've done all I can to make this guide SPOILER-FREE.


[ Witt Forest Path ] ------------------------------------------------------
                    | Enemies: Mottled Spider (250)                        |
                    | Items: Wound Salve (x2); Yomi's Elixir               |
                    | Weapons: none                                        |
                    | Armor: none                                          |
                    | Accessories: Blizzard Charm                          |
                    | Special Items: Hand Grenade                          |
                     ------------------------------------------------------

                     Once you gain control of Ryudo, run around for a minute
                     or so to get a feel for the controls.  Once you are
                     satisfied, head to the right and make your way around
                     the pond.  Pick up the WOUND SALVE and the POISON
                     ANTIDOTE and continue on the path past the waterfall.

                     Just past the ladder you will see your very first SAVE
                     CONE (Awww... isn't that special...).  You should go
                     ahead and save.  You can also fully recover at these
                     cones, but that isn't neccessary right now. [ NOTE: you
                     should save every oppurtunity you get throughout the
                     game. ] Once you finish saving, climb up the ladder and
                     snag the BLIZZARD CHARM inside the chest; head back
                     down the ladder beside the chest.  You are now on the
                     path to Carbo Village.  On the path, you will encounter
                     your first enemy, a Mottled Spider.  Use Combo Attacks
                     and you will easily destroy it.  Further down the path
                     you will find another chest; inside are a WOUND SALVE,
                     a HAND GRENADE, and YOMI'S ELIXER. Loot the chest and
                     continue on to Carbo Village.

[ Carbo Village ] -- ------------------------------------------------------
                    | Carbo Inn:                                           |
                    | Save and Rest                                        |
                    |                                                      |
                    | Carbo General Store:                                 |
                    | WEAPONS: Falix (500G); Shamshir (620G)               |
                    | ARMOR: Cuir Bouilli (500G); Leather Armor (750G);    |
                    |  Climbing Boots (200G)                               |
                    | JEWELRY: Heavy Stone (120G)                          |
                    | ITEMS: Medicinal Herb (10G); Wound Salve (24G);      |
                    |  Poison Antidote (14G); Paralysis Salve (14G); Eye   |
                    |  Drops (14G)                                         |
                    | REGONAL: Mushroom Cloud (20G); Goblin Toadstool (30G)|
                     ------------------------------------------------------

                     Once you are able to move freely, head to the Inn (to
                     the left).  Here, you can fully recover and save your
                     progress.  When you finish your business at the inn,
                     head across to the General Store.  Inside the General
                     Store, you may want to talk to the man with the "?"
                     over his head.  He can provide information for you on
                     several topics concerning battling.  When you are done
                     with him, move over to the counter and take a look
                     around. Buy five to ten Medicinal Herbs, and few Wound
                     Salves; you should probably pick up one or two Poison
                     Antidotes, Paralysis Salves, and Eye Drops as well just
                     to be safe.  Be sure to stock uup on Mushroom Clouds
                     and Goblin Toadstools from the Regional menu too.

                     Leave the General Store and head towards the fountain.
                     Around the fountain you will find several villagers; it
                     wouldn't hurt to talk to these guys.  You should also
                     check out the houses surrounding the fountain. In one
                     house you will find and elderly old lady. Be sure to
                     talk to her; she has all kinds of useful info. After
                     you finish yaking it up, head on over to the large
                     church.

                     When you are finished at the church and you arrive back
                     at the Inn, tell the owner, "The Priest told me to wait
                     here." Carius will arrive and explain your mission: you
                     are to escort Elena to Garmia Tower to perform in a
                     cermony; when she is finished, you are to return her
                     safely to the church. Now, head back to the church to
                     pick up Elena; then exit the town and select "Black
                     Forest 1" on the World Map.

[ Black Forest ] --- ------------------------------------------------------
                    | Enemies: Mottled Spider (250); Dodo (230)            |
                    | Items: Medicial Herb; 50G; Myriad Power Nut          |
                    | Weapons: none                                        |
                    | Armor: none                                          |
                    | Accessories: none                                    |
                    | Special Items: none                                  |
                     ------------------------------------------------------

                     AREA ONE: Start heading up the path through the forest,
                     don't miss the MEDICINAL HERB in the patch of dirt on
                     the right. Down the path the pair is attacked by two
                     Dodos. Ryudo is alone on this one but its no big deal;
                     just use Combo Attacks and they will be dead before you
                     know it. After the Dodos, move on down the road.

                     AREA TWO: In the cleared area ahead, you will encounter
                     two more Dodos; deal with them in the same way you
                     dealed with the first two: Combo Attacks. When you
                     reach the four-way fork in the road, head to the paths
                     on the right, you will find 50G and a MYRIAD POWER NUT.
                     Keep moving and you will reach Garmia Tower.

[ Garmia Tower ] --- ------------------------------------------------------
                    | Enemies: Mottled Spider (250); Gargoyle (380)        |
                    | Items: Wound Salve (x2); Yomi's Elixir               |
                    | Weapons: none                                        |
                    | Armor: none                                          |
                    | Accessories: Blizzard Charm                          |
                    | Special Items: Hand Grenade                          |
                     ------------------------------------------------------

                     FIRST FLOOR: After Ryudo and Skye come running in, head
                     to the save cone to the right. Once you are fully
                     recovered and you have saved, begin engaging the
                     Mottled Spiders in combat; these guys are easy and
                     they'll give an extra little EXP boost. There isn't
                     much to the first floor, it's just a giant circle. Be
                     sure to check out the little rooms to pick up some
                     extra items (a HAND GRENADE, 150G, and a WIND CHARM).
                     You should equip the Wind Charm to Ryudo as soon as you
                     pick it up. If the Mottled Spiders beat you up, you
                     should head back to the Save Cone. Once you are ready
                     to proceed head up the stairs to the second floor.

                     SECOND FLOOR: Not much happening here; just follow the
                     hallway and grab the 50G. Head up the stairs to reach
                     the third floor.

                     THIRD FLOOR: Head to the door to the right and fight a
                     Gargoyle. The Gargoyles are a bit tougher than Mottled
                     Spiders, but with the Wind Charm equipped it's nothing
                     you can't handle. After a few fights you should level
                     up for the first time. Fight a few more Gargoyles in
                     the door to the left, then go straight down the small
                     stairway. Head right and keep going until you reach
                     your next Gargoyle. Just past him you'll find 150G.
                     Head back and pick up the WOUND SALVE. Make use of the
                     Save Cone before heading up the stairway.

                     BOSS FIGHT: Two Gargoyles
                     Before this battle begins be completly sure you have
                     the Wind Charm equipped; it will make this battle a
                     whole lot easier. With the Wind Charm, these two aren't
                     much to worry about. You should try and take them out
                     one at a time; concentrate all of your attacks on one
                     Gargoyle until he is dead, and then move on to the
                     next. Just keep hitting them with Critical Attacks and
                     their magic will be canceled. Whenever you are ready
                     for the kill (their HPs should be around 150 or so)
                     start using Combos.

                     After the fight, when you regain control of Ryudo,
                     attempt to open the door; it won't budge. Go to the
                     window and break through.

[ Back in Carbo ] ----------------------------------------------------------
                     When you make it back to the church, Ryudo will have a
                     lengthy conversation with Carius and you will learn
                     your next mission. Ryudo is to once again escort Elena;
                     this time to Granas Cathedral.

                     Outside the church, you will automatically enter a
                     fight with Millenia. After the fight, head back to the
                     church and then to the Inn for the night. In the
                     morning, save your game and leave the Inn. Before
                     heading out of town, make a quick stop by the General
                     Store. With your extra cash you should pick up some
                     Hiking Boots for Elena (be sure to sell her Pumps). You
                     should also stock up regular and regional items while
                     you are here. Now that you are all stocked up, it's
                     time to head to the Inor Mountains.

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

                     AREA ONE: Welcome to the always lovely Inor Mountains!
                     While you're here, be sure to fight in as many battles
                     as possible to gain as much EXP as you can. When you
                     gain control of the party, head straight and squash the
                     mushrooms; you may find an item inside. There is a Save
                     Cone nearby, use it at your leisure. Be sure to search
                     every nook & cranny (which there aren't too many of) to
                     find as many items as you can. When you reach the
                     actual mountain, begin to make your way up. When you
                     reach the first fork in the road, head left to grab a
                     POISON ANTIDOTE, head back through the turn. When you
                     reach the next fork, go left again and you'll find
                     150G. Head back and keep going straight.

                     AREA TWO: Just ahead, you will reach a clearing. The
                     party decides to call it a day, so they set up camp.
                     The next morning, continue on your trail past the chest
                     imprisoned by the boulders. Keep going and you will
                     come across a rock balanced on a wooden plank. Push the
                     rock off the plank and it will roll down the hill,
                     clearing away those boulders. Head back down the hill
                     to the chest and pick up a CRYSTAL BROACH (which should
                     be equipped to Elena right away). Avoid using the newly
                     opened shortcut, head back up the hill. When you reach
                     the next bouler-on-a-plank, push the big rock free and
                     it will roll down into a hole. Cross over it, and you
                     will recieve a Climbing Hat; equip this to Elena. Keep
                     heading up the mountain until you reach a ladder. Grab
                     the 150G in the chest on the right and then make your
                     way down the ladder. On your way out of the mountain,
                     be sure not to miss the 50G. Once you reach the World
                     Map, head to Agear Town.

[ Agear Town ] ----- ------------------------------------------------------
                    | Agear Inn:                                           |

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

                     First thing first. Stop by the Guard's tent which
                     serves as a psuedo-General Store; stock up on items.
                     After leaving the tent, head over to the Inn and have a
                     seat at the bar. A few scenes will take place to move
                     the plot along.

                     Once you regain control of Ryudo, leave the Inn. If you
                     didn't already, you should go to the Guard's tent. Buy
                     the best weapons you can afford. Also, buy plenty of
                     healing products; you're gonna need 'em. While you are
                     at the tent, you should talk to the tutorial man about
                     magic. You should equip Ryudo with the Holy Egg; boost
                     Heal and Healer; learn Purple Lightning, and power-up
                     the Tenseiken Slash. For Millenia, boost her Burn magic
                     and Arrow Shots move. OK, now that you've got all that
                     done, you are ready to leave the town.

                    | Enemies: Crag Snake (280); Troglodyte (250); Frost   |

                    | Weapons: none                                        |

                    | Accessories: Roan's Medal                            |
                    | Special Items: Mist Egg; Whirlwind Scroll            |
                     ------------------------------------------------------

                     AREA ONE: Walk up the makeshift stairway created by the
                     fallen stalactites. Save your game at the Save Cone and
                     walk into the cave to the right. Here, you'll meet
                     Carro. Carro is a small rodent-like creature who
                     collect Poff Nuts. Before walking out of the room, grab
                     the FIRE BOMB to the right of the door. You can now
                     continue on your way. In the next room, jump off the
                     ledge and push the big boulder through the wall. In the
                     next chamber, hit the lever and cross the floating
                     bridge. On the opposite side of the cave, walk past the
                     torches and snag the YOMI'S ELIXIR. Now, slide the
                     large rock off the ledge. Make your way to the floor of
                     the cave and on through the opening.

                     When you enter this room, you are trapped with four
                     Crag Snakes; no big deal. Just keep the party's HP up
                     and you'll be fine. After the fight, the doors re-open
                     and you can continue. Leave the room and go back into
                     the larger room. Hit the lever again, which will make
                     another bridge rise. Retrace your steps, walking over
                     the fallen rock onto a small overhang. Cross the new
                     bridge and pick up the MEDICINAL HERB and 100G. Enter
                     the next room. The doors close again and you are
                     trapped with bunch of Frost Frogs. These guys are even
                     easier than the Crag Snakes, but they can still be
                     annoying. Use Ryudo's Purple Lightning to deal with
                     them. When you dispose of the froggies, go through the
                     opening to the left. You'll pick up a SLEEP CHARM and a
                     POFF NUT. Take the Poff Nut back to Carro, he'll like
                     this. Make use of the Save Cone and head for the second
                     area.

                     AREA TWO: When you enter the area, you'll find Roan
                     surrounded by three Troglodytes. This fight can be a
                     bit tough; just use your big attacks like Ryudo's
                     Purple Lightning and Millenia's Fallen Wings to finish
                     them off. For your efforts you'll recieve the MIST EGG
                     and the WHIRLWIND SCROLL. After the battle, Roan will
                     join your party. Surprisingly, he is a rather good
                     fighter. Be sure to equip him with the Mist Egg and
                     learn the Heal and Shhh spells. Into the next cave, you
                     will be trapped and forced to battle four Crag Snakes.
                     This battle is pretty easy, especially with Roan
                     helping out. After the battle, pick up the CALMING HARP
                     from the treasure chest. Now, head through the next
                     tunnel into another large chamber. Pick up the
                     MEDICINAL HERB and the 100G and move to the crates.
                     Open the left gate and dash inside to hit the lever;
                     doing so will lower the water and you will be able to
                     safely cross it. Inside the other two caves, you will
                     find 300G and the STONE HEAD.

                     After crossing the bridge, grab the POFF NUT. You will
                     then be engaged in a battle with three Troglodytes. Be
                     sure that your party's HP is full before the battle
                     starts. Use your best attacks (Purple Lightning) and
                     you should make quick work of these three. After the
                     battle hit the lever to pull up the second bridge.
                     Cross it and snag the TORTE'S REED PIPE on the left.
                     Use the Save Cone and then push the boulder into the
                     hole and contiue on to reach the final area.

                     BOSS BATTLE: Durham Minotaur and two Troglodytes
                     This guy is a bit tougher than your first boss battle
                     (Millenia). First thing first, you need to concentrate
                     on taking out the two annoying little Troglodytes. Take
                     them out one at a time with Ryudo's Combo Attacks,
                     Millenia's Arrow Shot and Roan's Golden Hammer. The one
                     move from the Minotaur that can do some serious damage
                     is his Tornado Horn; this can deliever damage of around
                     250 PLUS it can confuse. If any party member becomes
                     confused, use some Smelling Salts to heal them. Use
                     Ryudo as your primary attacker (Combos and Purple
                     Lightning) while Roan and Millenia attack and heal as
                     neccesary. Partway through the battle, Millena will go
                     berserk and unleash her most powerful spells on the
                     Minotaur (upwards of 500 damage). Keep attacking
                     steadily and watch your HP and you should do fine. For
                     your victory you will recieve your first skill book,
                     the ADVENTURE BOOK. You'll also pick up ROAN'S MEDAL
                     from the ashy remains of the Minotaur. Now leave the
                     cave and head back to Agear.

[ Back in Agear ] -- -------------------------------------------------------
                     When you gain control of Ryudo at the Inn, recover and
                     save via Vyx; then chose to spend the night at the Inn.
                     The next morning, head to the Guard's Tent and stock up
                     on items; also, be sure to re-equip Elena with the best
                     available. On your way out of town, talk to the man by
                     the road, he'll give you a POFF NUT to show you his
                     appreciation for you defeating the Minotaur. When you
                     are ready depart to The BakedPlains.

[ Baked Plains ] --- ------------------------------------------------------
                    | Enemies: Dodo(230); Giant Mantis (420); Sandman (340)|

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

                     AREA ONE: Not too much to this area, just scour the
                     place for valuables while fighting off Giant Mantises
                     and Dodos. Nab all of the seeds you can get your hands
                     on, they increase your stats and that is a very, very
                     good thing. When you get the DASH SHOES, give them to
                     Ryudo. They're a big improvment over the Children's
                     Shoes he was equipped with. I'd go into greater detail
                     here, but I'd probably confuse the Hell out of you, as
                     there are so many different paths to take. It is
                     probably best for you to search on your own. It is
                     rather straight-forward.

                     AREA TWO: From your starting position, head to the
                     right and you'll run across some rocks near the slimey
                     pond. Use Ryudo's sword to get rid of the rocks and
                     ascend the steps; open the chest and snag the HEALING
                     HERB, the NORTH WIND CAPE, and the POISON CHARM and
                     head back down the way you came. Head to the left and
                     you will find some seeds and some cash, nothing that
                     great. You'll run into some more enemies, blah, blah,
                     blah. When you pick up all of the loot, head to
                     area no. 3.

                     AREA THREE: Use the Save Cone at the beginning of the
                     area and continue on. After a short bit of walking the
                     party decides to set up camp for the night. Your party
                     will awake to the sound of a growling Beast-Man. EEK!

                     BOSS BATTLE: Beast-Man
                     The Beast-Man may very tough, but he's not so bad.
                     Begin the battle by executing each member's Special
                     Attack. Have Ryudo use his Purple Lightning or Flying
                     Tensekenu; Roan should use his Golden Hammer; and Elena
                     should use her Impact Bomb. These attacks should take
                     off a great deal of the Beast-Man's HP. Be sure to keep
                     a close eye on Ryudo's HP: the Beast-Man will begin to
                     zero in on our hero, hitting only Ryudo with his most
                     powerful attacks. Use healing items/magic and Yomi's
                     Elixirs as neccesary. Keep pounding him with Special
                     Attacks and spells like Howl and Zap! and you'll do
                     just fine. You will be rewarded with a chunk of money
                     and plenty of Special Coins.

                     After the battle, head on out of the Baked Plains. Be
                     sure not to miss the SHELL ARMOR. When you pick it up,
                     equip it to Roan.
