To navigate much easier through this guide, I added the search system, which
works just by following these simple steps:
- Highlight the "Section Code" of the section which you wish to go and copy it
(CTRL+C).
- Press CTRL+F to bring up the search sub-menu.
- Paste the "Section Code" and press ENTER twice to be where you wanted to be.
Just like magic!
My Section Codes were made as precise as possible, and I also prefer this
method instead of having you scroll 30 min through this huge guide looking for
the section you want to go.

\/ \/ \/
Hello and welcome to my first FAQ, for Tales of Symphonia. My name is, as
the headliner says, Alexander P. Kleinheider or better known in one future in
GameFAQ's as vinheim (hopefully). I wrote for this game, just because I love
it. It's been one of the best RPG series that I've ever played (Along with the
Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest and Xenosaga Series, and the list can keep going
and going). I hope you enjoy reading this guide as I enjoyed writing it. Any
critics, suggestions, spelling mistakes, contributions are welcome, so please
send them at the following e-mail:
--> vinheim@gmail.com <--
The following are the only sites that may host this guide:
- www.gamefaqs.com
- www.neoseeker.com
- www.supercheats.com
- www.tales-central.com
- www.abyssalchronicles.com
If you see this guide posted on any other site, please, PLEASE, let me know.
As a sidenote, I accept e-mails in English and Spanish, and answer in either
English or Spanish, whichever language you sent the e-mail.
Now allow me to take note on some things:
- My walkthrough is pretty dry to me. I'm writing this for free and because
I enjoyed this game (just like I mentioned above). If you are looking for
tons of eloquent ways for me to say "enter here and a scene triggers", you
are going to be so disappointed. This guide is way, way too big to begin
with, and lofty language does not help.
- If you take a quick scan thru my guide, you won't find the explanations for
battle system, main menu, saving-loading, etc. Why, you ask? Well, because
the game manual and in-game tutorials do a perfect job explaining the
battle system. As for main menu and submenu selections, everything is covered
nicely by the game manual.
- The usage of abbreviations. When you're in my place or any who writes for
GameFAQs or any other page, writing a guide for any game of such proportions,
people complain about using too many abbreviations. You have no idea
how helpful abbreviations are. It also looks better in every aspect you
think.
- My guide is not the only one out there. I'm not forcing you to use mine, but
if you use others, then you better be prepared for lots of spoilers (maybe),
which will ruin the element of surprise for you. Also, people that have
problems with how I write my guide are in great minority.
- The spoilers are great issues in making guides. I am a player of the game,
just like you are. The first time I played through this game was completely
by myself. I didn't use any guides, therefore nothing was spoiled for me. All
the story's ups and downs that were supposed to surprise me had such effect.
And I really think it's not fair spoiling such story elements to you.
With all this said, let's start with the guide! Enjoy this guide and remember
that it is a spoiler-free, so you don't have to worry about important info of
the game.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
=-=-=-=- 1.1] Guide's Layouts ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ sx101 -=-=-=-=
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
I'll list here all the layouts you'll see through the guide, so you don't get
confused of which is which, so here we go!

/\ /\ /\
~~( )~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~)(~~~~~~~~~~~~~( )~~
)( x] xxxxxxxxxxxxx ( ) xxxxx )(
~~( )~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~)(~~~~~~~~~~~~~( )~~
\/ \/ \/
This is the layout that I'll be using throughout the guide to separate
different Sections, like the introduction from the Game Basics, etc. Also,
these will all have just one number as reference, ie. 7], 13], etc.
..:: Subsection Header ::..

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
=-=-=-=- x.x] xxxxx ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ xxxxx -=-=-=-=
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
This is going to be used to separate sub-sections that are in the same
sections, like the Story, Game Controls are in the "Game Basics" section. Also,
these will have the number of the section, plus the number of the sub-section
it is, ie. 1.6], 3.2], etc.

Ok, I really don't know the name of these, but whatever. These will be used to
divide sub-sections into sub-subsections. Examples of numbers, 7.5.3], 5.2.3],
etc.

~~( )~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~)(~~~~~~~~~~~~~( )~~
\/ \/ \/
Here, I'll give you the basics of this game, which are the controls and some
of the story (from the Instruction Booklet), and I think that's pretty much it.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
=-=-=-=- 2.1] Story ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ sx201 -=-=-=-=
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
- Tales of Symphonia Instruction Booklet
O N C E U P O N A T I M E,
there existed a giant tree that was the source of
all mana. A war, however, caused this tree to wither
away, and a hero's life was sacrificed in order to
take its place. Grieving over the loss, the goddess
disappeared unto the heavens. The goddess left the
angels with the edict: "You must wake me, for if I should
sleep, the world shall be destroyed." The angels bore
the Chosen One, who headed towards the tower that
reached up unto the heavens. And that marked the
beginning of the regeneration of the world.

Build: Slender
Weapon: Chakram
Occupation: Student/Chosen
Colette is the game's heroine and Lloyd's childhood friend. Though normally a
bit clumsy and seemingly care-free, she has a strong will and sense of
responsibility hidden underneath her soft appearance -- she bears the weight of
the world on her shoulders. She is not the type who looks to other for
protection. If anything, she is bold and daring in times of need, always
willing to sacrifice herself to help her friends.

Occupation: Student
This young boy is one of Lloyd's closest friends. He's a child prodigy -- not
only is he the smartest student in the village, he is a talented mage as well.
Because of these abilities, he is overflowing with self-confidence, to the
point of looking down upon others.

Occupation: Teacher
Raine is the teacher of the school Lloyd, Colette, and Genis attend. She is
also Genis' older sister. She is asked to join Colette on her journey because
of her knowledge of archeology and the magical arts. Although normally cool and
logical, her passion for archeology gets the best of her at times.

comparison. His cool demeanor and logical approach to handling situations
irritate Lloyd, who tends to handle things completely the opposite way.

Class: Mage/Swordsman
Race: Human
Hair: Red
Build: Average
Weapon: Double-edged sword
Occupation: Chosen of Tethe'alla
Zelos is Tethe'alla's chosen one. His good looks, his title, and his smooth
charm make him irresistible with most women. Because of this, he can be a bit
arrogant and egotistical at times. He doesn't take things too seriously, and
thus has a laissez-faire attitude toward his duties as the chosen.

Class: Axwoman
Race: Human
Hair: Pink
Build: Typical child's build, but slightly small for her age
Weapon: Ax
Occupation: Woodcutter
Presea works as a woodcutter in place of her sick father. Although she is
small and slender, she manages to heft with ease a heavy ax that most adults
would struggle to lift. This is possible due to the special Exsphere she has
equipped. This special Exsphere however, suppresses Presea's humanity -- she
does not display any sort of emotion at all.

Occupation: Former aristocrat
Regal is a prisoner of the prosperous world of Tethe'alla. Sent to capture
Colette on behalf of the pope, Regal is extremely quiet and constantly wears a
grim expression. The few words that escape his lips are dignified and carefully
thought out. They are perhaps traces of his aristocratic background.

Author notes:
This is how it works:
- My lv.: I'll be displaying recommended levels, or even my levels, for every
area. On top, the original party, and below them, the reserve party. Remember
that the levels are only a reference. Go at your own pace, with levels higher
or lower. I am not trying to force you people to play the game the way I
played.
- Enemies: I'll be displaying the enemies that you will be encountering in that
area. Note that when I write "(B)" next to an Enemy's name (without the
quotation marks), it means that that Enemy is a Boss, "(SB)" means Sub-Boss and
"(OB)" stands for Optional Boss.
- Weapons/Armor/Items: The Items that you'll be picking up from the various
treasure chests, items that are a MUST for the game to proceed or hidden among
the area will be displayed here. Note that I won't be putting the items sold
from stores, nor the items random enemies' drop, so please just remember that.
Also notice that next to the items you've obtained, it's the quantity of that
item throughout the whole area.

"Lloyd Irving, wake up!" are the first words of the game, and they don't sound
very nice. In a rather hilarious scene you'll meet four of your characters:
Lloyd Irving, Colette Brunel, Genis Sage and the Professor, Raine Sage. After
the scene, when you gain control, you can talk to your classmates if you want.
When you're ready, try leaving the room for another scene. When you have to,
choose the top option, "It's research". You're given a brief tutorial on skits,
afterwards check the hole on the upper-right part of the room and obtain
Colette's title "Klutz." Talk to the kid with blue-purplish hair in middle of
the room to receive 'Magic Lens'. Now head out of school and watch the scene,
you can check all of Iselia. After exploring, save your game on the Memory
Circle besides the school. When you try leaving N, two battles take place.
Don't worry, they are easy, not challenging, and you can use them as tutorials
(I guess that's what they are for). After defeating the monsters and getting a
feel on the battle controls, you can finally head out of Iselia. Try buying
some Magic Lens from >Halo< to scan the temple's enemies. On the world map,
head NW to reach Martel Temple. Level up a bit before entering, because there's
a Boss Battle as soon as you enter.

As soon as you enter, a scene takes place. Choose any answer you like when the
question prompts. Then, run up the stairs, another scene takes place and
right after it, a normal battle starts with 2 ?????, (not that hard) and
afterwards the Boss Battle that I mentioned before entering takes place.

BOSS: VIDARR

- Name: Vidarr
- Location: Martel Temple
- HP: 4,000

- ATK: 210
- DEF: 21
- Gald: 25
- Items dropped: Life Bottle
- Steal: None
- Elemental Info.:
- AA: None
- Weak: None
- Strong: None
- Strategy: As soon as the battle starts, use a Magic Lens to keep track of his
HP. Start by attacking him without giving him a chance to counterattack. If he
starts guarding while in middle of a combo, Guard as soon as possible to
minimize the dmg. After dealing around 500 dmg. a scene triggers and an unknown
red-haired man (it's supposed to be brown, but whatever, he looks cool) appears
and joins the battle. Keep attacking non-stop until he goes down. Well? What
did you expected for your first Boss Battle?
------------
After the battle, watch the scene. When you gain control, you'll have the
mercenary Kratos in your party. You'll be in a 3-way room. Go through the E
path and at the end, go down the stairs.
Upon entering this room, a scene triggers. After it, you'll fight a Golem and
the scene continues.

| |7| |8| |9| |

|=|ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ|=|
You'll see that after killing a Golem, it turns into a rock. Well, kill 1 more
and drop it in the middle hole of the right side [6]. Now kill 1 more and drop
it down the middle hole on the left side [4] and go down the stairs to the SE,
go up the right path and push the block W to make fall in another opening.
Cross it to obtain a 'Life Bottle' from the chest. Do the same for the other
side, drop a block in the middle hole on the right side [6], go down the stairs
to the SW, go up the path to the left, push the block E, cross and get 'Panacea
Bottle' from the chest. Go up once again, kill another 2 Golems and drop both
in the middle hole from the upper side [2]. Go down the stairs, go up the path
and push the second rock N to complete the stone bridge. After crossing, a
scene triggers. After it, you're told how to use the Sorcerer's Ring, by
pressing the "X" Button. With this ring, you can freeze enemies, to avoid
battles, so please remember that. Return to the floor with holes, and go up the
stairs on the NW side of that floor.
Once on the other room, follow the path to find 3 chests containing '250
Gald', 'Life Bottle' and 'Apple Gel'. Now return to the beginning (the room
with the 3-way split) and go up the N path and use the Sorcerer's Ring on the
wall, and then proceed up the warp portal.
At the top, a scene triggers. Afterwards, talk to your party members and go
down the warp portal and head back to Iselia.

As you enter, turn right and head to Colette's house (the one with the well
outside). Inside, a scene triggers. Afterwards, you have to head to Genis'
house, which is the one on the W side of town (the house with the water puddle
outside). Enter it, a scene triggers, and Genis teaches you about cooking. Now
go to the school and talk to Raine and Genis will obtain the title "Brotherly
Love." Now head all the way S, try exiting the village and another scene
triggers with Noishe, Lloyd's "dog" pet. Outside Iselia, go NW and enter Iselia
Forest.

Follow the path, and when you can turn right, move to the left (a tree is
blocking the path) and get the 'Apple Gel' from the chest. Keep following the
path and get the 'Life Bottle' from the chest. Keep going until a scene
triggers. Go down the left path and another scene kicks in. Afterwards, move N
and go to the W side of the wall to have yet another scene go on. After the
scene and when you have control, move to the E side of the wall and jump up the
cliffs and at the large one, jump to the right to find 'Orange Gel' from the
chest. Now jump up the left one and another scene triggers. Then a battle with
the Desians starts. No big deal. When you regain control save your game and go
N.
Here, move all the way N, then W and grab the 'Apple Gel' from the chest. Now
move E and get 'Leather Glove' from the hidden chest. Return now to the 4-way
split near the entrance, move to the NE one and get 'Apple Gel' from the chest.
Head E, past the wooden bridge and '500 Gald' are waiting for you in the chest.
Keep moving and at the fork, head N, around and up the small cliff and get
'Orange Gel' from the bag. Now leave the forest to the N.
On the World Map, simply head NW and enter Dirk's House.

the house and go to the grave outside the house and he'll give you a bag with
items. After that, you will be taken to Iselia automatically.

As you enter, head towards Colette's house. After the scene in here, go
outside for another scene. Afterwards, save your game, head S and dispose of
the Desians there. Go N and to the school. Save the villager there and he'll
give you 'Apple Gel' and 'Orange Gel' for helping him. Now head S to the
entrance.

- Elemental Info.:

- Strategy: Start by using a Magic Lens. Start attacking her and when you see
that it puts its right arm back, stop attacking immediately and guard, also
when she puts its right arm in front of it. Well, basically, each time it moves
its right arm. It has another attack in which it liberates a black aura-thing,
attacks 3 times in a row. Have Genis cast magic nonstop while you try to damage
her and keep her busy so Genis can cast without interruptions.
---------
After the battle, the scene continues, a very sad scene, by the way. Lloyd
after that receives the title "Drifting Swordsman". This is the beginning of
your true journey.

EX Skills and Compound EX Skills. Follow the yellow road and you'll reach the
House of Salvation. In here, see the scene and enter the house and rest on the
second floor if needed by examining the box next to the bed. Now exit to the
World Map and before continuing S, move NW and in the woods, you'll see a
hidden chest with 'EX Gem Lv1'. Now continue heading S until you see a village
with an oasis in middle of the desert. That's Triet, enter it!

After the initial scene, move to the NW side of the market area and you'll
receive a tutorial about Customization. If you have a Beast Hide, give it to
him and he'll make you a Soft Leather, the Rabbit enemy in the Iselia Region
gives you a Beast Hide, I think. Afterwards, customize a Hard Leather. You
better enter Triet with at least 2800 Gald, because there are some expensive
stuff to buy here.
Buy a Knight's Saber and a Fine Star from >Heat Storm<. From >Sand Shield< buy
a White Cloak, a Beret and 2 Capes (Well, 4 if you have the money). If you have
to sell, go on, but be sure to leave at least 100 Gald for the fortune teller.
Now go to the Inn, up to the second floor and at the end, examine the green
thingy on the floor (I'm pretty sure it's a Japanese sculpture) to have Wonder
Chef appear and teach you "Cabbage Rolls". Spend the night, if you can and
leave the market area to the N. At the end of the road is the fortune teller in
her hut. Go in, pay her and watch the scene. Afterwards, return to the entrance
and examine the wanted poster near the Inn's entrance. Afterwards, try exiting
Triet to trigger a scene. After it, an easy battle takes place (it should be
thanks to the equipment upgrade you just did), and another scene.

open the door and grab the 'Beast Hide' from the chest to your W and save at
the save point to the W of the chest (Did you notice that you can't open the
menu?). Now go E and open the chest in the open area to receive your equipment.
Now keep going down the hall and fight 2 Desians and go into the room to the N.
In here, watch the scene, and check the pedestal to change the function of the
Sorcerer's Ring. Now electrify the enemies on top of the blue panels with help
of the Ring. Pass the door and dispose of the enemy to the N of the fork to
receive a Memory Gem, which unlocks a Memory Seal. Now go through the door to
the N and get the 'Beast Fang' from the chest and you can use the yellow
machine to buy items. Return and now go through the door to the W. In here,
unlock the Memory Circle, save and shoot at the top and middle pillar at the W
side of the room, go through the door to the S and get the 'Magical Cloth' from
the chest. Now shoot at the top pillar, middle pillar and bottom pillar in that

- Strategy: First of all, dispose of the 2 Foot Soldiers as soon as you can,
since they have less HP. After them, Botta is up next. He is quite more
challenging that the other 2. As well as Genis, Botta has the ability to cast
Spells. I recommend you taking the Foot Soldiers while the others take on
Botta. If healing is necessary, Kratos will surely aid you, but if in any case
you need HP quickly, forget about him and use a Gel. Just like Exbelua in
Iselia, if you're combo-ing him and all of a sudden starts defending, quit the
combo and start guarding as soon as possible to receive his attack. After a
while, he'll go down.
---------------------------
After the battle, a scene starts and at the end of it, you'll be at the World
Map. From where you are, start moving directly E and examine the monolith there
to have long range view in Triet area. Now just move to Triet once again.

As you enter there is a scene. After it, exit the Inn and go to the W side
of the market area, buy a Flying Disk from >Heat Storm<, equip it and go and
customize a Duel Ring. Sell the Flying Ring you just bought. Now go to >Sand
Shield< and buy 2 Ribbons, 2 Gloves and a Soft Leather. Go once again to
customize the Soft Leather for a Hard Leather for Kratos. Now leave Triet.
You now have to go to Triet Ruins. When you exit Triet, head W with a bit S
and you'll arrive at the first Seal, Efreet's Seal.

As soon as you enter, a scene happens and you'll have to fight 2 Fire Element,
no big deal. Afterwards, Kratos teaches all 4 members a Skill to defend against
magic and other attacks. Now, check the hole to the W to trigger another scene
and Raine receives the title "Archeological Maniac". Go in the hole.
Once inside, go W and at the fork, go S and at the end, there's a chest
covered with rocks. Use your Sorcerer's Ring to uncover it and obtain the
'Lemon Gel' from the inside. Now return to the fork and go N and at the end
there's a chest. But be careful, because it's a Fake. These are unique strong
enemies that can only be damaged with magic.

SUB-BOSS: FAKE

- Gald: 25
- Items dropped: All-Divide

- Elemental Info.:
- AA: None
- Weak: None
- Strong: All
- Normal: None
- Strategy: I recommend a party of Lloyd (you), Raine, Genis and Kratos.
Deactivate all of Kratos attacks except for Fire Ball and Wind Blade (if you
have it). As soon as you enter the battle, give the "All out" order by pressing
-> on the D-pad. Put yourself in front of the Fake and start guarding and using
Guardian every now and then. Kratos and Genis will start attacking the Fake
with magic and keeping a distance from it. Raine's duty here is to support you
with her healing arts. In doing so, you'll win the battle in no time.
--------------
You'll find a 'Spirit Bottle' after the fight. Return to the S end of the fork
and enter the door. The hawk enemy in this room has the Memory Gem of the
dungeon. Now go up the stairs here and lit up the torch on the wall. Go back
down the stairs and now lit up the one on the E side of the room.
Exit the room, return to the fork and enter the door in the middle. Here, head
S and open the chest containing 'Apple Gel', now go N, around the pillar and
get 'Bracelet' and 'Life Bottle' from the chests. Now the 2 blocks, push them
down at the center of the room, creating a "bridge". Go up the ramp and get
'Savory' from the chest. Continue the path on this floor and get 'Mumei' and
'1000 Gald' from the chests. Return down the ramp and exit the room. Head N at
the fork and in here, follow the path, push the block S and get 'Stiletto' from
the chest. Now lit the torch.
Now return to the fork and go in the middle door. Lit the torch at the end of
the "bridge". Return to the fork, go N and make your way up the several stairs
and get 'Circlet' from the chest. Now unlock the memory seal, save your game,
enter the warp portal and prepare for a Boss Battle!

BOSS: KTUGACH/KTUGACHLING X2

a) Ktugach
- Location: Triet Ruins
- HP: 5,000

- DEF: 40
- XP: 60
- Gald: 15
- Items dropped: None
- Steal: None
- Elemental Info.:
- AA: None
- Weak: Water, Ice
- Strong: Fire
- Strategy: As you start, if you chose to have Genis in your party (which I
forgot to do), deactivate all his spells, except for Aqua Edge. For Kratos,
deactivate Fire Ball. This Boss has some nasty attacks, so be careful. My party
was Lloyd, Raine, Colette and Kratos. Have Kratos and Raine be the healers
while you and Colette are the attackers. First of all, dispose of the
Ktugachlings, since they have less HP, but not only that, but because they can
use magic and rip your party apart. After they're gone, focus on Ktugach, the
big pops. He is a though sucker who likes to put defense, but keep attacking
between the 4 characters and you'll break his defense.
----------------------------
After the battle, a scene automatically kicks in. WOW!!! Colette has wings.
She learns the "Angel Feathers" tech, a very nice one by the way. Now make your
way to the entrance, a scene triggers and you'll be at a Camping Spot. Talk to
whomever you want and to end this, just speak to Colette twice.
You'll soon know that your next direction is Palmacosta, but first you need to
get pass Ossa Trail. So, head to Triet to restock your arsenal at >Traveler's
Mate<, but a scene triggers as soon as you enter and Raine obtains the title
"Sisterly Love". Now go and stay at the Inn for a scene to take place. When you
exit Triet, head directly E to find Ossa Trail.

As you enter, walk a few steps and a scene starts. Choose whichever answer you
like. Ossa Trail is so straight forward, so it won't be easy to get lost.
Follow the path while picking 'Battle Staff' from the chest. When you're able
to see the sky, meaning you're at the top, move S at the fork and pick 'Apple
Gel' and 'Melange Gel' from the chests. Save your game and keep going down the
hill. Near the bottom, grab 'Orange Gel' and prepare for a Boss Battle!

BOSS: CLUMSY ASSASSIN/GUARDIAN-WIND

a) Clumsy Assassin

- Gald: 250
- Items dropped: Magic Lens
- Steal: None
- Elemental Info.:
- AA: None
- Weak: None
- Strong: None
- Strategy: Start by focusing your attacks on Guardian-Wind, since he's
stronger and represents more dmg. to your party. Sword Rain doesn't work well
on this enemy, since he's floating. Better make a 3-combo and finish with
either Tiger Blade or Tempest (I should say Tempest works better). You can use
the Strat battle sub-menu to have 1 character aid you raid Guardian-Wind with
attacks while the other 2 focus on keep busy Clumsy Assassin. After he's down,
focus all your attacks on Clumsy, which shouldn't represent much trouble. Keep
having Raine and Kratos heal you if possible and/or needed.
-----------------------------------
As you leave, a skit takes place automatically and afterwards, you are finally
able to use U. Attacks which stands for Unison Attacks.
There's an Optional Boss in this place. I recommend Lv 15 at least. Go to the
N of Ossa Trail at the World Map, pass the wooden bridge and start leveling
there. These enemies give quite amount of XP and Gald. There are 2 ways to go
from here. The hard way and the easy way. The easy way is going to Izoold and
then to Palmacosta. The hard way is going to Hima and then to Luin and so on.
Go in the cave from where the Clumsy Assassin came out and it looks something
like this.

Head NE, at the fork head NW, then NE once more and get 'Fine Guard'[1] from
the chest. Now move SE, then SW, SE at the fork and SW at the next fork to
obtain 'Black Silver'[2] from the chest.
Now go NE, NW at the fork, NE at the next fork and into the next room. You'll
see a Black Skull. That's Sword Dancer #1 Optional Boss (yes, it's the huge
skeleton that appears at the beginning of the opening animated video). On the
back of the room, get 'EX Gem Lv1' and a bit S get 'Beast Fang' from the hidden
chest. If you're prepared, fight it.
------------------------------
OPTIONAL BOSS: SWORD DANCER #1
------------------------------
- Name: Sword Dancer #1
- Location: Ossa Trail
- HP: 8,888
- TP: 38
- ATK: 600
- DEF: 75
- XP: 150
- Gald: 2000
- Items dropped: EX Gem Lv1
EX Gem Lv2
- Steal: EX Gem Lv3
- Elemental Info.:
- AA: None
- Weak: Light
- Strong: None
- Strategy: Set the Strat like the following:
= Colette
- Attack Freely
- At Once
- Don't Pursue
= Raine
- Attack Freely
- Heal
- Don't Pursue
= Kratos
- Attack Freely
- Heal
- Skills and Magic (this will prevent having Kratos approaching too much)
Turn off all of Colette's techs, except for Angel Feathers. All of Kratos'
techs, except for First Aid. As well as Raine, turn off all except for First
Aid.
OK, first of all, you can't escape. My party was: Lloyd 16, Raine
15, Colette 15, and Kratos 15 and I barely won. This sucker is hard! He can
kill you in 1 blow. Have Kratos and Raine healing the whole time, while Colette
is using Angel Feathers. You are the only main attacker (if we can call it
that). Colette is going to be support with her Angel Feathers and giving you
Orange Gels and Life Bottles. The main idea here is to do the basic 3-combo +
Sword Rain + Fierce Demon Fang or Double Demon Fang at the end, but if you see
that he's blocking your normal attacks, forget about the techs and guard, since
you'll be doing 2 dmg. for each hit of the Sword Rain. Right after that, guard
so you can minimize the dmg. You'll receive around 350 dmg. if you block. If
for some reason you die, immediately have Colette use a Life Bottle on you.
Keep having Colette using Orange Gels and Life Bottles all the battle. Also
remember, if you can nail the attack above mentioned (3 attacks and 2 techs),
it's finally time to use the U. Attack. It's very important to have Colette use
her Angel Feathers during the attack, because its power is way beyond yours.
After around 5 min of sweating, you'll defeat the first of the Sword Dancers.
------------------------------
Afterwards, you'll receive Yata Mirror. Return to the World Map and go to
Izoold.
**NOTE: There are two ways you can go from here. The easy way is going to
Izoold, like it's supposed to be, and which I'll be writing for first. The
second way, and harder, is going N to the other continent. It's your choose. If
you decide to go the easy way, keep reading. If you chose the hard way (I
really recommend going this way only after you have beaten the game at least
once, so you have more experience with the game), open up the search sub-menu
and copy the following <+ - +> (without the "blank spaces").**

Now, talk to the dog near the entrance using Colette as your avatar. Now go in
the house at the E part of this area and check the NE corner to have Wonder
Chef Teach you "Rice Ball." Now go in the house to the W of it. Speak to the
two people in here. Go now to the docks and talk to Max, the guy to the S end
of the docks. Speak with the man a bit NW of Max. Return to speak with Max.
Speak with a little kid near the entrance of the docks area. He'll say that Max
loves Lyla. Now go to her house and speak with her. Return outside and speak
with the man in front of Lyla's house. Return once more to Lylas' and a scene
triggers. Go to where Max is and another scene triggers. Talk to him when
ready. It's time to sail to a whole new continent.

area**

First of all, go around the wooden dock. Talk to the dog and proceed to the
stores. At >Tsunami< buy: Rapier, Duel Star. At >High Tide< buy: Chain Mail x2,
Feather Robe, Leather Helm, Bracelet x2, and the Leather Boots are optional.
If you don't have enough Gald, wait until you can go to the World Map to fight
and have some cash. Or you can go with the Customization guy and exchange 5
Grade for a Beast Fang, and then sell each for 1,000 Gald. That's pretty neat,
isn't it? Now, go to the Customization shop and customize: Masamune, a Slicer
Ring (if you have the Flying Disk), Gem Rod, Steel Sword and a Mage Cloak. You
should be able to customize all the items mentioned above.
Now, that was a lot of shopping, wasn't it? Well, exit the shopping area to
the S. Walk a few steps S and a scene triggers automatically. After it go E
over the bridge and go in the store before the stairs. A scene happens here.
Afterwards, exit and go to the part of town.
There's a scene as you enter. Then, talk to the dog walking around. Enter the
SE building and a scene triggers automatically. Then check the Ball Basket to
have Wonder Chef appear and teach you "Omelet." Now go up the stairs and go in
the first door to the E. You are asked 3 questions, and the answers are:
- Guardian
- Acceleration due to gravity
- I don't know
Afterwards, return to the hall and go in the room to your E. A hilarious scene
happens here. After that, Genis receives the title "Honor Roll." Return to the
first floor and go in the second door to the E. Talk to the woman behind the
counter to start a minigames. After it, Colette obtains the title "Turbo
Waitress." If you did well, you'll receive a Palma Potion, if not, you'll just
have to buy it at Marble's.
Outside the school, go in the Church just N of you. Talk to Chocolat in here.
Go now and give those guys their Palma Potion, return to the E part of town and
go in the NW building. A scene happens in here and after it, return to the
Church and talk with the Priest. After that, you know you're next destination,
Hakonesia Peak.
To reach Hakonesia Peak, start heading NE following the yellow road. Pass a
bridge on your way and keep ignoring forks. After the bridge, you'll reach a
House of Salvation. Enter it and talk to the doggy with Colette. If you enter
the building, you'll find Clumsy Assassin praying at the altar. You'll finally
know her name, it's Sheena, Sheena Fujibayashi (007 style). After the scene,
rest if you want and continue your journey to Hakonesia Peak.
Again at the world map, keep heading N and at the end of the yellow road is
Hakonesia Peak.

thanking you for what you have done. Go near the exit and speak to the woman
standing near it. Answer with "Well, part of the way...".
You'll be now at the House of Salvation. Walk a few steps N and a scene
triggers, showing that Chocolat was kidnapped by the Desians. Answer with the
top option, of course. Now go into the house and talk with the priests. They
tell you that the Spiritua Statue that they have is a fake and the original one
was lost somewhere near Thoda Island. Choose the top answer again. Rest for the
night and leave House of Salvation and towards Palmacosta Human Ranch.
From where you are, move SE, following the yellow road and when it ends, keep
running a few steps and turn N when possible. There it is, the Palmacosta
Ranch.

As you enter head up and go up any path and a scene takes place. Damn that
Dorr, betraying the Chosen!!! When the answers prompt, choose the top option
and watch the rest of the scene.
Now from where you are, go up the NE path, fight all the enemies in this area,
open the gate and keep fighting. Once inside the facility, change the function
of the Sorcerer's Ring to a Radar. Now go in the W door and fight the enemy
here for the Memory Gem of this dungeon. Use the Sorcerer's Ring near this
enemy to find 'Apple Gel' from the sparkle. Go down the SW path and NW at the
fork. There's 'Orange Gel' on the W side. A bit N of it, there's 'Life Bottle'
on the E side of the wall. Return to the fork and now go SE. At the end of it,
find yet another 'Orange Gel' from the sparkle. Return to the main hall and go
in the E door.
Kill the enemy to the N of you and use the Sorcerer's Ring. You'll see several
tiny lights. Check the one N of you and get 'White Silver'. The sparkle SE of
the first one has 'Omega Shield'. Check the blue pedestal "thingy" to make a
bridge appear. A scene triggers as you cross, that Refresher thing is cool, it
also sells items. Dispose of the enemy near the Refresher to receive 'Purple
Card'. Now check the NE corner of this side of the room for 'Orange Gel'. Also
check the blue pedestal to make another bridge appear and get 'Life Bottle'
from the sparkle. Return and turn both bridges off.
Once again at the main hall, use your Sorcerer's Ring and use the Warp Portal.
Here, head N, save your game and go in the E door. In here, use the Sorcerer's
Ring and you'll see several semitransparent blocks. Move the second one 2 times
S, 2 times E, 3 times S. Push the block on the right of the one you were moving
S and get 'EX Gem Lv2' from the sparkle. Now push the one you were pushing 3
times E and 3 times S. Move the block directly N (on the N wall) until you can
get 'Mage Cloak' from the sparkle, but you should already have one, right? Now
check the blue pedestal to make a bridge. Cross it and go down the stairs. A
scene triggers and you'll receive 'Red Card' automatically. Return, turn off
the bridge and return to the save point.
Now go in the W door from the save point. A scene takes place as soon as you
enter. Afterwards, the little boy handles 'Blue Card'. Return to the save point
and use the portal at the N of it.
This place is a bit complicated, so keep track of the following. Please first
read about that room and then the portal you have to take, and it's number is
below.
To get a 'Panacea Bottle', just:
- (Taking the room after taking the portal just N of the save point as

memory seal. Heal up and now go to Chocolat. Enter the portal, watch a scene,
another meaningless battle and then, prepare for a Boss Battle!
--------------------------------
BOSS: MAGNIUS/BOWMAN/WHIP MASTER
--------------------------------
a) Magnius
- Location: Palmacosta Human Ranch
- HP: 8,500
- TP: 120
- ATK: 450
- DEF: 65
- XP: 675
- Gald: 1700
- Items dropped: Warrior Symbol, EX Gem Lv1
- Steal: None
- Elemental Info.:
- AA: None
- Weak: None
- Strong: Fire
b) Bowman
- Location: Palmacosta Human Ranch
- HP: 480
- TP: 10
- ATK: 130
- DEF: 20
- XP: 50
- Gald: 40
- Items dropped: Orange Gel
- Steal: Orange Gel
- Elemental Info.:
- AA: None
- Weak: None
- Strong: None
c) Whip Master
- Location: Palmacosta Human Ranch
- HP: 570
- TP: 10
- ATK: 120
- DEF: 10
- XP: 14
- Gald:10
- Items dropped: Apple Gel
- Steal: Apple Gel
- Elemental Info.:
- AA: None
- Weak: None
- Strong: None
- Strategy: First of all, and almost what you do in every Boss Battle, take out
first the Bowman and the Whip Master. They don't deal that much amount of dmg.,
but, they're just so annoying. After taking care of them, focus on Magnius.
He's not that challenging on his own. Just keep the attack: 3-combo + a Lv1
Tech (Sword Rain should do a pretty good job) + a Lv2 Tech (Double Demon Fang
works wonders). And guard when necessary, while using Gels as you need and use
as many as you need. One of his attacks, and maybe the worse, is Flame Lance, a
Fire-based magic with a large attack range. After a few minutes, he'll go down.
--------------------------------
Watch the scene as you finish the battle. There are 2 new names mentioned in
the scene: Yggdrasill and Rodyle. When you regain control, leave the ranch and
head to Palmacosta.

As you enter, head straight for the Inn. Rest up and then save your game.
Restock items at Marble's, but when you enter, a scene triggers. Afterwards,
head for Dorr's HQ, a scene happens here and then go down to the basement.
There's a scene here and then a Boss Battle!
-----------
BOSS: KILIA
-----------
- Name: Kilia
- Location: Palmacosta
- HP: 10,000
- TP: 400
- ATK: 490
- DEF: 65
- XP: 500
- Gald: 500
- Items dropped: Heal Bracelet
- Steal: None
- Elemental Info.:
- AA: None
- Weak: Light
- Strong: Darkness
- Strategy: You might be thinking that she's harder than Magnius because of her
10,000 HP, but don't worry! Raine's Photon deals over 600 dmg., so does
Colette's Angel Feathers, around 650-700 dmg. Put these 2 in the C-stick
shortcuts. Her attacks aren't that nasty either. Just keep attacking, ordering
Colette to use Angel Feathers and Raine to use her Photon. Kratos should be
attacking or healing when necessary. After very few minutes, she'll go down.
-----------
Damn, that Kilia monster is a bitch. A very sad scene happens here. He then
hands over 'Pass'. Now we can finally go for the second Seal.
Before leaving, buy a Battle Staff from >Tsunami<. Now, talk to the person
near the exit and tell her part of the way. You'll now be at the House of
Salvation. Exit and go to where the human ranch was and instead of entering, go
SE and enter Thoda Dock.

Start by resting at the Inn on the second floor. Outside, there's another dog,
speak to it with Colette as your Avatar. Go inside once again and speak with
Candy, the woman behind the counter. Pay 200 Gald and a scene triggers, taking
you to Thoda Geyser and op the second seal.

o-------------------o
As you arrive, go up the path and a scene triggers. Talk to the guy with a
backpack and a green hat to buy supplies. Now go NW of where you are and
talk to the dog. "This one feels like a Bob. His tail is so cute." Now go to
the NE corner and approach the pedestal shown to you in the scene. Another
scene happens, showing you the Spiritua Statue. You only have to follow Genis'
directions without failing more than 2 times. Now check the pedestal with the
blue thing on top to have another scene trigger.
Once inside, move N, dispose of the enemies here, go down the stairs and get
'Mermaid's Tear'. Keep going down the stairs and at the bottom, get 'Life
Bottle' and 'Circlet' from the chests at the E side of the room. Go down the SW
exit, ignoring the Sorcerer's ring pedestal function for now.
Get 'EX Gem Lv1' from a hidden chest behind the upper stone pillar on your E
side. Now go through the stone pillars on your E and get 'White Silver' and
'Orange Gel' from the chests. Return to the previous room and go to the N part
of the room and use the Sorcerer's Ring on the torches, each next to a stone
tablet with a flame carved into it. Once you set them ablaze, it's time to
change the function of the Sorcerer's Ring.
Change the function of the Sorcerer's Ring and exit through the SE exit.
Go down the stairs and get 'Stun Bracelet' and 'Circlet' from the chests. The
shark-type enemy floating near the chests has the Memory Gem for this dungeon.
Keep going until you're in the next room. Push the huge block right in front of
you under the door and you hear a "click."
Return to the room where you set the torches ablaze and you'll notice a scale
in front of the large blue urn. Use the Sorcerer's Ring on the E side of the
scale and a door will try to close on the lower level, but that's why we put
the block there. Just a bit E and then S is the Memory Seal (it's almost
invisible). A very good idea at this point, is to equip an EX Gem Lv2 on Raine
and put the "Personal" option. This way, in every Memory Circle you encounter,
all her non-battle magic (Such as First Aid and Recover) will only use 1 TP.
That's cool, isn't it?
Go to the room where you pushed the block and at the end of the corridor,
there's another scale in front of a large blue urn. Pour water in the E side of
the scale and have the platform on the W side of the room go up. Return to the
room above (where you lit the torches), heal up, save your game and use the
warp portal on the platform you just raised.
Here, watch the scene and prepare to fight Adulocia and Amphitra x2.
--------------------------
BOSS: ADULOCIA/AMPHITRA X2
--------------------------
a) Adulocia
- Location: Thoda Geyser
- HP: 10,000
- TP: 248
- ATK: 600
- DEF: 55
- XP: 825
- Gald: 765
- Items dropped: Mermaid's Tear
- Steal: None
- Elemental Info.:
- AA: None
- Weak: Lightning
- Strong: Water, Ice
b) Amphitra x2
- Location: Thoda Geyser
- HP: 2,300
- TP: 120
- ATK: 475
- DEF: 20
- XP: 150
- Gald: 500
- Items dropped: None
- Steal: None
- Elemental Info.:
- AA: Water
- Weak: Lightning, Fire
- Strong: Water, Ice
- Strategy: Start by using Magic Lens on each one of them. The Amphitra are
very annoying, because if you start attacking Adulocia and making combos,
they'll start messing with you. So take them out as soon as possible, but keep
in mind that Adulocia starts messing with you too. Try to ignore her and focus
on the Amphitras. Once they're gone, focus on the big mama. Her worst attacks
are Spread and Aqua Laser. Kratos and Raine should focus on healing and Colette
should focus on using Para Ball. After a while, they'll go down.
--------------------------
Watch a scene as you finish the battle. Exit the Geyser completely and you'll
be camping again, just like after the first seal. A scene triggers and you'll
regain control. Jump on your awesome washtub and exit Thoda Dock. At the World
Map, head all the way N and enter Hakonesia Peak.

Walk up to Koton's house. Speak to him to trigger a scene. You'll read the
contents of the Book of Regeneration, and I bet you don't have a clue. Go
outside and go pass the guards to the N to finally reach the other side of
Hakonesia Peak.
At the World Map, head N and you'll see a House of Salvation. Enter it and
speak to the dog at the NE corner. Rest if needed and exit to the World Map.
Start heading SW and soon, you'll arrive at Asgard.

As you enter, go up the stairs on your W and at the fork, head N and into the
building. Inside buy at >Typhoon<: Slicer Ring and Hydra Dagger. Don't equip
them. At >Hurricane<, customize one of each, except for Mage Cloak (which you
should already have), Yayoi, and Iron Gauntlet. You should have all the
necessary weapons. If you need Trade Items, exchange them for Grade with the
old man. Equip every thing and at >Cyclone<, buy: 2 Ring Mails, 2 Iron Helms, 1
Iron Gauntlet and 2 Kitchen Mittens. If you still have some money, return near
the entrance and enter the first door of the W and rest at >Vortex Inn<; the
cheapest Inn in town. Also restock your item supply and food supply, mainly to
cook Rice Ball, since it heals both Hp and TP. From >Vortex Inn<, move NE and
go up the first set of steps on your W. The shop here is >Whirlwind<. Restock
here and speak to the dog to the N with Colette as your avatar.
Now go all the way E and enter the next part of town. Talk to the dog
wandering near the S part of this side of the city. Go up the first set of
stairs and go in the dark brick house. This is Aisha's house. On the second
floor, check the phonograph besides the bed to have Wonder Chef appear and
teach you "Meat Stew."
Return to the main are of Asgard and go up to the N area of the town. Go up
the huge stairs and at the top, a scene triggers. When you can move, go around
the ruin to trigger another scene. Damn, Raine kicks ass! Now head to Aisha's
house to see another scene.
Go to >Vortex Inn< and rest if you haven't. Save your game and go to back to
the ruins. After the scene, there's a Boss Battle!
----------------
BOSS: WINDMASTER
----------------
- Name: Windmaster
- Location: Asgard
- HP: 10,000
- TP: 220
- ATK: 580
- DEF: 85
- XP: 1325
- Gald: 800
- Items dropped: Map of Balacruf, Talisman
- Steal: None
- Elemental Info.:
- AA: None
- Weak: None
- Strong: Wind
- Strategy: This battle is easy if you know how to battle it. An easy way to do
this is as follows: 3-combo attack + Tiger Blade + Sword Rain: Alpha. Right
before you unleash Sword Rain: Alpha's uppercut, unleash an Unison Attack as
follows: First Kratos using Fierce Demon Fang, then Raine with Photon,
afterwards Lloyd with Sword Rain: Alpha and last but not least, Colette with
Angel Feathers. With all this done as I wrote, you'll be dealing him around
5000 dmg. and Combo over 55 hits. After this, keep attacking, healing when
necessary, blocking when necessary and doing the 3-combo + Lv1 Tech + Lv2 Tech,
dealing near 800 dmg. each time. As you can see, he's not that hard, if you're
at the levels I recommended before entering Asgard.
----------------
After the battle, there's a scene and when you regain control, head over to
Aisha's house for another scene. You'll then receive 'Map of Balacruf'. After
that, finally exit Asgard.
Your next destination is Balacruf Mausoleum. To reach it, head SE from the
House of Salvation and at the end of the land, there's Balacruf Mausoleum.

o~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~o
As you enter, there's a scene. Afterwards, take the W path and at the end,
there'll be a person and behind, '1800 Gald' in the chest. Now go up the
central path and another scene triggers. When you have control, move W, watch
your step, because there are a lot of traps in this dungeon. When you see a
switch on the floor, go up the stairs N and kill the enemy hiding among them,
because it's the holder of the Memory Gem. Once on top, move W and push the
block S 2 times. Return down and push the block on top the switch and stop the
wind.
Return to the fork to the entrance and go E. Unlock the Memory Seal and get
'Beast Fang' from the coffin S of the Save Circle. Now lit the torch on the E
side of the room.
The SE stone plate says: "The Summon Spirit and the wind
that serves it are to be found
beyond the carving of the holy seal."
Now return to where you dropped the block and read 2 other stone plates.
The W stone plate 1 says: "The Balacruf are people of
the wind.
They are born with the wind,
live with the Summon Spirit, and
become as wind when they die."
The W stone plate 2 says: "The world is a giant.
Its ruby left hand is the
throne of gods.
Its emerald right hand is
the power of gods.
Its pearl white left leg is
the calm earth.
Its topaz right leg is
the rich earth.
And its lapis lazuli
body is the blue wind
princess."
Now move E, go down the stairs and you'll be at the beginning fork. So now, go
up the NW path, past the traps and go up the stairs. At the corner, read:
The NW stone plate says: "That which the blue wind
princess protects.
Heads from the throne of
gods and across the rich
earth.
Stands upon the calm
earth, and gazes up at
the power of gods."
Now keep going and lit both torches at the N wall, before going down the
stairs to reveal a door. Keep going E and read the tablet.
The N stone plate says: "The great King of Balacruf,
Cleo III, died and was reborn
as the King of the Wind.
The King travels the heavens
with the Summon Spirit, in
past, present and future."
Now move S and push the block E, and then S 1 time to stop the wind. Now go N
from the switch and get 'Iron Guard' and 'Blue Ribbon' from the coffins. Now go
all the way S, lit the torch, get 'Beast Hide' from the coffin and then read
the E tablet.
The E stone plate says: "That which is offered to
the throne to the gods.
From the power of gods,
makes the rich earth as
the calm earth.
And arrives at the blue
wind princess.
This be as if traveling the
giant's body in the manner
of a clock's hand."
Return to the end of the NW path from the fork of the entrance and read the
central tablet.
The Central stone plate says: "The holy seal that
extols the king
flows from the throne
of the gods to the
rich earth.
Travels from the power
of gods to the calm
earth.
And when the blue wind
princess is born in the
center of the world.
The holy seal shall also
be complete."
Now go N and check the pedestal to change the Sorcerer's Ring function. Now go
in the door on top of the pedestal (the one you opened from lighting the 2
torches) to have a scene trigger. In this room, dispose first of the enemies
and input the following as it goes:
1. Blue
2. Red
3. Yellow
4. White
5. Green
A hole opens on the W side of the room, and has 'Blue Ribbon' inside a coffin.
Now deactivate these thingies and input the following:
1. Red
2. Green
3. Y
