Controller functions can be changed in the 'Options' menu, found at the title
screen or on the in-game main menu screen (Select button). Since characters
can look blocky and dungeons can be unkind in this respect, it's recommended
to use the d-pad + R1 for running instead of Analog functionality, which has
sprinting on by default.

STORY [STRY]
_______________________________
―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
From manual:
On a gentle spring evening, without warning or apparent source, chaos
descends upon the once thriving world of Arkose. A coastal town is silently
crushed, leaving piles of dust where people once stood. A pestilence infects
the land. It cares not whom it reduces to a blubbering, raving lunatic. The
infected spend their final days trying to escape from the cluthes of their
own shadows. There is no apparent cure.
The once prominent Gadgeteer race seems to disappear. Hysteria reigns
supreme. Doors are shut tight and towns turn hostile to strangers. Barriers
of all kinds, some quite lethal, spring-up as towns fight off deranged
strangers and the growing horde of bizarre creatures that are some how
connected with the disease. It's as if some immense, demonic nightclub just
shut its doors at 2 AM, spewing its inebriated, bloodthirsty, vicious patrons
out into the world all at once.
A small band of orphans stumbles along seeking help and answers. They are
assisted by numerous characters and confront hordes of vicious and conniving
adversaries. They wander and explore sweeping landscapes, ranging from
fantastic flying cities to haunted villages and mysterious ruins. They must
solve challenging puzzles, complete difficult mini-quests and meet a slew of
quirky beings as they try to solve the mystery of Shadow Madness.

STATUS AILMENTS [STTS]
_______________________________
―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
There are so few enemies in the game that use status ailments, and players
are actually encouraged to flee to preserve any shred of difficulty, these're
really not that important in the long run. Some characters receive abilities
that cure some of these ailments, but most wear off after battle, so who
really cares, aye?
___________ _________________________________________________
| AILMENT | EFFECT |
|―――――――――――|―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――|
| Blindness | Character's attack accuracy (Prowess) drops |
| Paralysis | Character's turns continuously skipped |
| Pathetic | Character's defense strength heavily decreases? |
| Petrified | Character's turns skipped indefinitely |
| Poison | Character loses HP every turn |
| Slow | Character's battle turns arrive half as fast |
| Spellbind | Character's unable to use mana-based spells |

BATTLES [BTTL]
_______________________________
―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
Battles are quite easy to understand. There are a number of shortcuts used
to bring up each menu (icons show which on lower-left box). A note or two
on the gist of things:
ENGAGE --> This makes the player approach the enemy and attack, if s/he's
able. This would be an otherwise useless ability, except that
it lets long-range characters physically attack without using
any ammunition (instead of waiting for enemy to approach and
force that option).
AVOID ---> This is the opposite of engage, and allows close-range allies to
back away. This makes the enemy waste turn(s) approaching, while
letting long-range users have their main projectile attacks back
in business.
FLEE ----> Fleeing battle is vastly important, not only because many ally
skills are useless, but because the game is hideously simple to
play. There are enough mandatory battles in the game to make
levelups come along naturally, but it's still very easy just
the same. No, this isn't just a veteran talking; enemies really
will be doing non-critical single-damage most of the time. All
it takes is decent armor which the game gives in abundance. =/

CHARACTERS [CHRC]
_______________________________
―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
A note about the listed spell levels. When a character joins a party, and
learns spells (based off party average), they will be the FIRST of each LV.
Which means instead of actually learning four as listed, it learns ALL of the
LV's listed.
---
Name : Stinger
Race : Arkosian
Sex : Male
Age : 18
Height : 6'0"
Weight : 185 lbs.
Intelligence: Average
Weapon : Sword
Specialty : Lockpicking
Foul-mouthed, smart-alecky, headstrong, bratty, kind-hearted: there are many
ways to describe the thieving man-boy. A refugee from Port Lochane, he's the
first character shown. His specialty, lockpicking, allows him to enter those
doors and chests others just can't get into. His lockpicking level goes up
every four levels, with a maximum of L4.
---
Name : Windleaf
Race : Arkosian
Sex : Female
Age : 17
Height : 5'6"
Weight : 125 lbs.
Intelligence: Above Average
Weapon : Bow
Specialty : Spellcasting
From the wilds of Enclaan springs Windleaf, ready to pulverize any baddie w/
a bad attitude...well, that'd be a more fun description. In actuality, she's
a thoughtful and caring mage from a backwoods town, and stumbles upon Stinger
during the Port Lochane disaster. They team up and the rest is history. Do I
see a bit of love blooming? Hmm...
Her specialty is spellcasting, of which she has four "classes" to go up in.
Each time she gains a level, more spells! Hooray for you!

Name : Harv-5
Race : Harvester Robot Mark 5
Sex : Male
Age : Actual 40+, mental (young adult)
Height : 5'6"
Weight : 250 lbs.
Intelligence: Average
Weapon : Scythe
Specialty : Immunity
Having been ordered out of the fields to find help for his wrecked hometown
of Barleygrove, he meets up with Stinger and Windleaf to find help. There's
always been something weird about this robot, with his razor-sharp wit and
seemingly knowing more than he lets on. Just what lies beneath those steely
eyes...
His specialty is having immunity to statuses. As he goes up in level, his
body is rewired to automatically guard! In order: Paralysis, Sleep, Stone.
Remember...every four levels!

Name : Xero Von Moon
Race : Male
Sex : 554
Age : 18
Height : 18"
Weight : 13 lbs.
Intelligence: High
Weapon : Psi Blast
Specialty : Spellcasting
Good ol' Von Moon...as a Magewarrior he was a force to be reckoned with, but
ended up being beheaded. However, since he had a fake body anyway, he's able
to get around as a disembodied head! He's quite a force to be reckoned with
and makes a great healer character. Did you hear the joke about why Xero did
not go to the party? He had noBODY to go with. Haha... >___>

Name : Clemett
Race : Gadgeteer
Sex : Male
Age : 26
Height : 5'8"
Weight : 350 lbs.
Intelligence: High
Weapon : Multicannon
Specialty : Gadgeteering
Clemett is one mean pariah in the Gadgeteer community, and after being sent
from Eyre to live on the surface, he gets caught in Ziggurat. After being
freed by the team, he helps out from then on. His Gadgeteering ability, once
raised, increases the damage of his multicannon rounds. His normal attacks
all consume Mana, which means his close-range Special attack may have to be
used once he runs out.

Name : Jirina
Race : Grey Org
Sex : Female
Age : 25
Height : 6'6"
Weight : 275 lbs.
Intelligence: Average
Weapon : Fists
Specialty : Spellcasting
Jirina is a powerhouse org from the wrecked Wyldern town of Pays'Hom, where
her people were enslaved and forced to work in the Hexite Mines. Even with
the pacifistic ways of her people, she's been trained in the warrior's ways,
and joins up with Stinger's group to bash some heads in and get vengeance...!

| 4 | Deathcheat | South of this screen is a dead-end dock with a

| 6 | Aether Drop [3] | be lockpickable! This LV1 lock requires four
| 7 | Deathcheat [2] | correct, successive inputs -- the d-pad controls
| | Daro Root [2] | the left pick, the four icon buttons the right.
| 8 | Dirk [5] | So, if the left pick moves up, press up on the

The reward is five [Dirk]s -- items that can be thrown at foes by Stinger --
and a [Fyrn Tonic]. Double-back a screen and head out the other exit, which
dumps Stinger near a molten crater. Plenty of items are strewn around this
area: [Nail]s, [Deathcheat], two [Fyrn Tonic]s, and three [Aether Drop]s.
Head out the screen nearest the NPC here to find the remains of a blacksmith
shop. A cache here contains two [Deathcheat]s and two [Daro Root]s!
Head out the west side and try to leave town; a girl will run past, catching
Stinger's eye. After some scenes, she introduces herself (default: Windleaf)
as someone from Enclaan, which has seen the same fortune as the port. Since
she joins on the quest for aid, leave this festerin' deathpit and enter the
world map. And, for reference:

as well. Get it and leave.
Outside on the dirt path, a [Deathcheat] and [Shovel] are found nearby. Down
the path, two [Kii Nuts] and [Daro Root]s are bundled. Return to the main
trail that leads north, looking for a small barrel containing a [1000 Gold],
ten [Barleyshot] weapons for Harv-5, and an [Aether Drop]. Hike east from
there across the river again, to find a deposit of [Aether Drop] & [Kii Nuts]!
Yeah, not that spectacular...oh well.
Northbound once more, a [Fyrn Tonic] is by a lefthand ditch. This time, leave
the side-trail alone and Stinger will tell everyone his cousin Brink lives in
a nearby hut. Lockpick it and see some scenes -- everyone can rest and save
here if y'like. Get the [125 Gold], five [Owl Talon]s, [Beans], and [Tulian
Cheese] before splitting. Don't forget to read "Gone with the Storm" for some
melodramatic nonsense!
_____________________
HARV-5 | North of Brink's pad is a corpse, [Beans], and a lone
| [Deathcheat]. I bet the cadaver could've used that'un,
- Guardian | huh? So close! Now, take the side-tail that was left
- Level 1 | alone earlier, and bound across the river for the last
- Studded Helm | time. Search a cave for some [Berk Jerky], another one
- Studded Gauntlets | of those [Deathcheat]s, and [Studded Armor] + [Sentry
- Wood Armor | Bow]! Give these to Stinger and Windleaf, since Harv-5
- Worker Scythe | already has optimum equipment.
- Attack : 40 |
- Defense : 70 | On the cliff exterior, spy the footholds to climb up.
- Agility : 35 | Missed these my first time through, actually! At the
- Prowess : 20 | top is the east exit onto the world map, and a cave.
- Speed : 25 | This cave is optional, but if you do the events, the
- Immunity: L1 | team will be set defense-wise for QUITE some time. And
_____________________| when I say this, I'm talking for hours and hours. It's
really too bad the equipment is so good that it lowers
the overall difficulty. Anyway, once everyone has a few levels under their
belt, go in (or avoid to preserve some difficulty, I guess).
NOTE: Windleaf comes with 100 Field Arrows, but each time she attacks one is
depleted. To preserve the inventory without making her useless, have
her "Engage" an enemy and use the "Special" up-close attack which just
uses her longbow as a bashing instrument. It helps later on, too!

| Red Tom | Chaos | HP: 678 | EXP: 338 | $: 252 | DROP: Airthorn [5] |
|_______________|_______|_________|___________|_________|____________________|
Let me just say that Red Tom might be one of the hardest bosses in the
entire game, if only because the difficulty from here on out decreases
severely! All of his magical attacks can do 100-plus damage, which is why
one should only take this foe on when there's ample HP to spare. However,
it's quite possible to take this guy on even at Lv2! Windleaf should stay
back and cast Beetle on Harv-5 and Stinger, who should be doing aggressive
strikes (~40+). Windleaf should heal and Aggressive attack herself. When
Sky's Fury is cast, either heal/use Deathcheat to revive the person. Luck
should be on the player's side, as Tom mostly uses piddly physical attacks
(at least with Beetle on!) leaving much slaying for the party to do. This
fight can be put off until later, after all, but with the bounty so good,
why wouldja? He may drop Airthorn items, too.
Meanwhile, in the back room, there is a treasure trove of goodies to steal:
[Aether Potion], [Gogarin Amulet], [5000 Gold], ten [Chaos Talon]s, two
[Lifeback]s, and four [Ullk Oil]s. But, the real haul here is on the corpse
of a knight. Steal the [Battle Armor], [Battle Gauntlets], and [Battle Helm]
to REALLY outfit your party properly. Give Windleaf the helm so her defense
is through the roof, and give each of the men one of the other items.
Now you're unstoppable, pretty much. Yay!

Okay, time to head for Rockra. This is the mountain area north of Enclaan...

NOTE: Around this time, you'll probably be getting full inventory notes. The
"restores 1 HP" and "nothing special" items are junk and can be tossed.
However, some of those crappy items can be sold later on for a profit,
if you like. Is it worth keeping them for 20 hours to make an extra 100
gold? Not by my reckoning. I ditch that crap the second I find it. :p

―――――― ――――――――― ― |____|-ENTER
This town is HUGE, so much so in fact that it's split into three sections:
Oldtowne, Middletown, and Hightowne. For easier digesting, I'll splinter the
walkthrough into those same 3 pieces.
________
――――――――
OLDTOWNE
________
――――――――
After arriving and watching the opening dialogue, the guards suggest talking
with their captain in Middletowne. Forget that for awhile since there's lots
of stuff to do 'fore then.
The hotel is the nearest door at the bifurcation. When the man asks if the
team will stay for 100G, decline -- it's possible to sleep in the stable!
Some scenes will take place before morning comes. Save and search Harv-5's
resting place for [999 Gold], [Prodigy Gum], and [Aether Wafer]. The fourth
stable at the end has items as well: [Deathcheat], [Shovel], and [Compost].
Back in front of the inn, the tour begins to the left. Danl's Curiosities
is the next shop down the way. He's got some items and bric-a-brac for sale,
and if you want to throw some money down the toilet, buy his shop for 5000G!
It goes out of business later on if you don't purchase the rights, but it's
really useless in the long run, at least in this author's opinion.
Down the block are more useless houses, so I'll just talk about the 2 that
are of any importance. First, the blacksmith's foundry has upgraded items
and can enchant weapons with elements (although I do not recommend this as
it's expensive and rather useless in the long run). The other useful place
here is the farthest left alley, near the crypt. Guillame and his thugs'll
fight the party here and if y'win, 100G and some EP're received. This is a
good way to get experience as world map enemies don't give this much, even!
---
Now, back at the hotel, start walking right. Traylor has an item store next
door which has pretty lame content. Next house down belongs to a chambermaid
(uneventful) and further along is Chef Croquer's house. Make sure to help her
on the 'job' to get the [BISTRO PASS] key item. This allows one to eat for
free in Hightowne, instead of paying 10000G each time!
The other houses aren't worth exploring except for the brisk dialogue. Exit
into...
___________
―――――――――――
MIDDLETOWNE
___________
―――――――――――
The nearest building houses the guild association and Pietro's shop, The
Warrior's Tailor. This is the best armor supplier in Karillon, although it's
still useless if you robbed Red Tom of his awesome stash. The next door down
is the state nursing home (uneventful) and along the curvy road, Martine's
Weapons is located. Definitely buy Windleaf more arrows here. The Elysium
Goods store is down the way, which has the best item supply in Karillon.
Next up, the green house. It's locked but later contains a writer who will
pay cash for the party's memoirs. The Hall of Wisdom is found further along,
then a museum that has some funny comments. Only the captain's barracks and
the tax agency are left, from here.
---
Talk with Captain Willis and a date will be set to tell the Hightowne council
about the crap that's been going on outside. So, let's go to the last section
of town! The Karillon Skyway nearby will act as a ferry.
_________
―――――――――
HIGHTOWNE
_________
―――――――――
This place is much more smaller, but makes up for it in snootiness. Let's go
clockwise: the first unlocked door belongs to the Diva! Talk to her and when
she suggests being "useful," talk about it to learn she's wants a package
delivered for 200G. Agree to get the [Letter to Karl] and take it to his home
in Oldtowne and get the [Letter to Diva] in return.
Other than this, the houses following a clockwise pattern are: Whyte House,
Mayor's House (locked), and the Bistro. None of them have items, however! Go
into the city park for a scenic view, although be warned that there are mimes
there who will attack viciously...seriously!
---
Go past Whyte's mansion to the tri-fork, leading to the Eyre Dock, Council
Building, and Belltower (respectively, left to right). Willis will be waiting
by there and the meeting will take place. A job is offered: seek out the Magi
after finding a way through Gogarin Keep.
Before leaving, enter the mayor's residence and talk with the man in person.
He'll give a [Deathcheat], [Aether Drop], and ten [Steel Arrow]s as aid.
________
――――――――
MIDTOWNE
________
――――――――
After getting off the skyway, enter the first door to the right -- this is
the municipal accountant's office. Dix will give the party [1000 Gold], half
the fee. The other half comes after completion of the task, apparently. Also,
visit Grishame in the newly-opened green house for [100 Gold], if the party
agrees to sell the rights to their story. He says to drop by after visiting
the Magic Academy.
________
――――――――
OLDTOWNE
________
――――――――
The High Sage mentioned stopping by here for the prices, but in fact, it's
completely necessary to continue! Windleaf will heal his dog Angus, so in
return, he teaches her the "Spell of Shatter". Everyone automatically meets
with the upper crust again, gaining the [Council Message].
---
Gogarin Keep, the next destination, is east of Karillon in the mountains...

ENTER
Although this place is creepy with forboding music, it's quite easy to get
around. Upon entering the keep from the world map, check the walk-in turret
just off the main path for [90 Gold] and ten [Knight Arrow]s. Further along,
Windleaf will break the barrier with her Shatter spell. If you do not know
this for some reason, the blacksmith in Karillon will teach it to Windleaf!
Inside, there's a mandatory fight with a wussy Gogarin Knight. These guys're
cinches, actually. Check the keep's main entrance for a [Skeleton Key L1]
and enter the right-hand door to find a dining table. The purple-aura door
will lead to a L1 lockpick for Stinger to jimmy. This leads upstairs.
Again, take the right door to some barracks. A [Skeleton Key L3] is hidden by
a chest, so search 'round there to find it. The adjacent room is rigged and
will plummet everyone into the downstairs kitchen if one walks on the middle;
if you walk around the sides, however, nothing'll happen. Either way, ending
up in the library is planned. One of the bookcases is a false door, leading
to a treasure room. The chest has [1500 Gold], [Knight Gauntlets], [Knight
Helm], and [Gogarin's Armor] inside! If you search around a little more, the
[Skeleton Key L4] is nearby too. Make sure you get keep that best skeleton
key, even if you have to ditch any others (except L3) to make room.
Head back downstairs to where the mandatory fight with the knight was. Head
left this time. In the "Hall of Portraits," the only door here requires the
L4 skeleton key. A torture room is revealed within. There is a spin-crank
on the wall that opens a secret passage in the iron maiden. A single chest
is found, containing: [2500 Gold], five [Venom Dagger]s, [Cologne], [Caviar],
[Wine], a [Deathcheat], three [Fyrn Tonic]s, and a [Knightsword].
Now, let's find the boss. As soon as y'get back upstairs, take the doorway
just beside the doorway. This leads to the throne room, and the foe is past
there. Use the Skeleton Key L3 to enter...
|―――――――――――――――|―――――――|―――――――――|―――――――――――|―――――――――|――――――――――――――――――――|
| Grimsmeer | Fire | HP: 492 | EXP: 292 | $: 252 | DROPS: ----------- |
|_______________|_______|_________|___________|_________|____________________|
This battle will be easy-peasy for the most part, if you're Lv2+ with Red
Tom's equipment. As before, have Windleaf cast Beetle on the main close-up
attackers while she slings arrows and spells. Beware the Sleepgas attack
which can be annoying if more than two people are conked out.
---
An [EXIT KEY] is found afterwards, so head back downstairs and take the north
door into an armory-slash-pantry. The backdoor portcullis (retractable gate)
has a small picnic basket of [Lard], [Beans], [Nuts], an [Apple], and three
pieces of [Berk Jerky]. They all suck, so throwing 'em away is recommended.
From there, simply stroll down the path into the Crescent Valley!
---
The Magic Academy is fairly far away. Keep a southeasternly path, past Bene
Brokul (inaccessible now), until entering the next 'square' of world map. The
academy should be within sights there. But why am I telling you all this? Any
person with eyeballs can look at the blue dot on the map and figure it out...
Once you go there, however, a Spirit says that two towns in the west have a
malady and must be freed. Entering the place isn't possible 'til then, so
head along the "grain" of the Crescent Valley and make for the nearest town
of...

The boardwalk here has a pail with [200 Gold], [Cerebral Jolt], [Bamf Pill],
and a [Fyrn Salve] twofer. Enter the nearest door to find an inn! Sleeping is
free, luckily. Strewn around the hardwood floor is [150 Gold], [Platemail
Helm], [Goat Milk], some [Ale], and [Gems].
Back outside, head to the farthest building to find a warehouse. Inside is a
stockpile! [Kii Nuts], [Beer], three bottles of [Barleyfiz], and a [Helmet of
Emmons], too.
Return to the entrance and head right down the other sidewalk. Ignore the
first door -- a pub -- and enter the second to find a cold forge. The bucket
contains a [Steel Helm] with [Steel Gauntlets]...which happens to be the
smithy's specialty. Haha...
Further down the way is an empty house except for a cat. Inspect it and our
pal Stinger will wonder if he should take it to Cat Man. Agree to and obtain
the [ANGLERVILLE CAT] thusly. The last house on the block is a weaponsmith,
and the corpse has twenty [Flame Arrow]s.
When all zombies are slain, head to the bar and collect the sweet reward for
the trouble: [Flynn's Bow], twenty [Flame Arrow]s, and [2000 Gold]. But that
isn't all! Return to the innkeeper and give the Helmet of Emmons back to him
for free. He'll throw in [500 Gold] and 15 [Rogue's Dagger]s as a kicker.

That's all for this dump. Proceed westernly along the lakeside to find...

Visit the museum above the town hall and talk with Dr. Heend for some scenes.
Harv-5 will out his stupid skeletal reconstruction as a graverobber's work,
and take the [WRAITH'S BONES] after the spectral entity talks with the team.
To lift the curse, he must be taken to Karillon's graveyard and buried. THIS
MUST BE DONE TO PROGRESS THE STORY!
The reward for planting the guy in Oldtowne's cemetary is [Ranger Armor],
[Ranger Helm], [Ranger Gauntlets], [Ranger Sword], and a [Reaver Scythe]! A
good haul, to say something.
Make for the Magic Academy. There's no reason to follow-up in Jynx either, as
nothing's changed!

The academy is shaped in a spiralling ramp way with rooms branching off at
as one descends, so it's easy to visit everywhere but annoying if you need
to find a single room. Talk with the (4) mages as you descend, picking up
the items here and there. Make it to the Etherwell at the bottom to learn
the culprit behind the towns' destruction. Apparently 'he' is in Wyldern, the
bubble world that exists within the planet. The Natragor Codex is necessary
to stop 'him,' the magi think, and a colleague named Gamathel has it in a
tower on the Siltheria continent.
After some more scenes, Windleaf will stay behind for...err, studying, and
the men will have to make the journey alone. Head to the locked sixteenth
(16th) door to find it leads to the Siltherian continent. The 'fire twitch'
attacks will be unlocked at this time, and can be activated during battle by
rapidly pressing X and Circle once an attack method has been chosen.

Finally, the lighthouse. [150 Gold] and a [Fyrn Tonic] are scattered on the

MAP: http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/psx/file/198598/51721
This place can be very confusing, mostly because going one way may change
the camera POV, which gets the direction-makin' skills all buggaboo. I have
mapped this place in its entirety, however, just for this reason. If you see
an (outer) path that lacks notation, assume it leads to the world map.

The goal of this map is to make to the square with the hashmarks (#'s). This
will start a scene, but for now, focus on getting all the items. The order,
even in this confusing place, is still numerical 1-2-3-4! The 2 [Vigor Pill]s
are half-hidden in the scenery, but the six [Ale] casks are right in plain
sight.
Continuing to the third score, the [100 Gold] and ten [Venom Daggers] are by
the path entrance, and shimmer if you can't find them. Detour at this point
back to the 4th item, which isn't as far away as the map suggests. It's just
a [Bamf Pill], however, so you may want to toss it 'cause it's useless for
the most part.
Finally, enter the screen with the [2250 Gold] and [Pilj Syrup]. These items
cannot be collected until revisiting this place in a short while, though. A
scene will take place where some natives whisk everyone off to their village!
_____________________

THE CULTISTS' VILLAGE
_____________________
―――――――――――――――――――――
After some scenes, a new party member (Xero Von Moon) will join the team and
assist in fighting the cultists/shaman. To say these are boss caliber would
be a mistake, but since bosses suck all throughout the game, maybe it isn't?
Haha...either way, they're simple. [520 EP, 343g]. Our disembodied head has
quite a spell supply, so he'll function just like Windleaf. Make sure to
equip some better stuff on him if possible. [Default: Psi Shield, PsiBlast].
Remember: he can't equip most things since he has no appendages!]
Exit the "GodHead tower" and slay the cultists who insist on becoming worm
food. A [Basket] and ten [Apple]s are found nearby, along with 5 [Wine] casks
and a [Jug]. In the next screen, the nearest hut houses offerings to Xero;
take three [Fyrn Tonic]s and the [Aether Potion]/[Deathcheat] combo! Two more
freaks have to be buried before collecting the [Bucket] and 3 [Bird Egg]s in
the middle of the road. The only other hut houses [300 Gold] and fifteen
[Order Dagger]s.
---
Before leaving, get the gold and Pilj Syrup back on the path where y'first
met the cultists. Then, take the side-trail near the village entrance to
ditch this stanky place.

[Crescent Sword] are within. Give the helm to Xero! |____|__________________|
Exit and continue down the alternative path, leading to five [Order Dagger]s
in plain view. This leads to a dining area with two [Fused Silverware]s and
[Fused Glass] sitting around. These are useless to throw 'em away if you do
pick 'em up. The upper-right (on-screen) room leads to Gamathel's bedroom, and
contains [225 Gold], [Cerebral Jolt], and [Daro Root] on the corpse. Steal the
book near his bed to find it's the [Natragor Codex]!
Before leaving, go down the dining room stair (same side as bedroom) to find
an alchemic chamber with [Mage Gauntlets]. No one can equip them, however.
Now we can finally head back to the Mage Academy.

After arriving back, the party rejoins and splinters into pairs: one will go
to Wyldern, underneath the earth's crust, and the other to Bene-Brokul to get
access to the Ziggurat across the ocean. Getting into Wyldern ain't simple,
however -- one has to use the vortex at the bottom of Loch Dohmain after
calling Eyre in Karillon. Oy...!
Harv-5 & Xero ------> Ziggurat
Stinger & Windleaf -> Wyldern
The player has to pick which one to do first; the order is irrelevant in the
long run. "Party switch points" -- in the form of spinning moai statues --
will be found throughout inns and such from this point on in case the player
wants to switch between parties, mind you.
I like doing the Wyldern stuff first, so that's the way this walkthrough'll
take. Make sure to choose inventory-switching accurately. Wyldern will have
its own currency (hexite), so give the majority of the gold to Xero's team.
NOTE: If you're doing Harv-5/Xero's Journey first, skip to section WK17!

This time around, the player should be vaguely familiar with the city, so
there shouldn't be time wasted describing things again. In Middletowne, make
sure to stop by the writer's place for the [1000 Gold] payment. Grishame says
to drop by after visiting Wyldern. Visit the council's chambers in Hightowne
once more to report findings at Gogarin Keep and the Magic Academy. The Magi
want the assistance of the floating Gadgeteer city (Eyre) for this job. There
will be something wrong in the belltower, however. Investigate and...

This baddie can heal himself somewhat with "Fleshmend," and attack with the
magical "TwinBlastLo"...which does low-tier magic damage as says. Stick with
the tried n' true method of Beetle on Stinger, with Windleaf supporting in
whatever way she can. This battle can still go awry if Stinger has a Ranger
Sword equipped, however; his physical attacks will be doing single-digit dmg!
---
Afterwards, the bells and gears will be damaged. Report to the council who
will ask for the aid of Liam in Oldetowne, and the Clockworks Codex in the
Hall of Wisdom. The person in question lives near the blacksmith shop, and
that should be the only missing piece here. Get the "stuff" and report back
to Brady at the belltower to see everything fixed! Get the payment from the
tax official during this time, too. It's an extra [250 Gold]...wait, what?
If you talk with the councilmen, they'll say the payment is tax-free and Dix
will give the full sum. [NOTE: If this is attempt after Dethknoller, it may
not be possible to collect. In that case, just get it next time.]
Eyre takes a little while to dock (2:00 in-game time?) but the team arrives
there, they automatically enter.

Finally, head to the largest floor, Recreation. The left Equipment Dock has
an [Aether Wafer] on its upper walkway, while the area just before the city
exit has ten [Hawk Talon]s around. Everywhere else is either a shop, inn, or
discoteque! Yes, you heard me... [Leaving back to Karillon is impossible at
this time, for reference, even while still docked.]
To continue the journey, tell the Makers on the Habitat floor that preps have
been made to leave for Wyldern. Then, it's to the equipment dock on the lower
floor to board the good ship Aquatica...err, mini-sub.

_______________________________________________________________________________
―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
This area is pretty straightforward, and the player should be able to do it
'no sweat,' provided the controls are remembered. This portion is done in 3D,
one of the more entertaining minigames disguised as mandatory fodder. After
inserting Disc 2, the player is plunged deep into the waters!
_______ ________________
D-PAD | Move submarine | First off, getting the hang of the controls is
SQUARE | Fire weapon | crucial -- 'up' makes the screen go down, and the
O BTN. | Fire weapon | opposite is true. Same for left and right...they're
R2/L2 | Cycle weapons | reversed! These controls can't be changed either,
X BTN. | Forward thrust | so practice in the first room where there's only a
TRNGLE | Reverse thrust | single enemy.
――――――― ――――――――――――――――
As for the bars, the blue displays the ammunition for the current weapon; the
red displays the sub's damage. The more full either bar is, the better. Some
enemies drop 'mines' that power up weapon daamage and such, but overall, most
of the things dropped (eyeballs, green debris) don't do anything. The spider-
-like thing in-between the bars displays the direction one's facing.
Speaking of which, eventually the sub will come to a fork. Go northwest and
continue until a blue whale is shown. This takes considerably more ammo to
explode, so reverse thrust if it gets too close! A nearby door will open and
an 'exit' lever shows up. Run into it to end this place!
_____________

DAIGLO'S DOCK
_____________
―――――――――――――
After crashing the sub, Windleaf and Stinger enter the nearby house of a
gloomy resident, Daiglo. Some dialogue later, it's lootin' time! [250 Hexite]
and two [Wyld Root] are in one corner, while the chest requires lockpicking
level 3 to pry open. The reward is well worth it however, being the [Travel
Cloak], [Thievin' Gloves], and [Incognito Helm]! If you can't pick it yet,
leave it for later and return. [NOTE: If you can't get it, make sure there's
a Skeleton Key L3 in the other team's pack when they return, otherwise this's
impossible to get!]
Apparently, there's looting in the nearby town of Pays'Hom, so that's the
next destination.

fork, take the 'up' path again, which winds around a smithy (can't buy) to
a 4-way junction. One path leads to [1250 Hexite] and [Tync An'Sar] inside
a church; the other to a house with [Assassin Armor], [900 Hexite], and a
[Spellbind Helm]. Make sure to get these before continuing 'left'.
The town section has nothing of interest, except Jirina's house marked on the
map as 'free rest'. A [Psion Earring] can be found here, and should be kept
for later on, as it's one of the few accessories Xero can equip! Head up and
to the outskirts of town, where a guardpost contains [Assassin Gauntlets].
One has to fight his way in, however.
It's a clear shot to the Hexite Mines from there... Don't go in unprepared...

Think this is tough? Well, it is. However, items are listed in the order they
should be obtained (as opposed to whenever I found them, as in earlier places)
so use the flow of numbers as an aid as well!

'--------------------------------'
Do you want to cry for your mommy? Do you need a change of pants? This cave
complex is Shadow Madness' magnum opus, a sprawling mostly-dark dungeon that
will utterly confuse and enrage the player. Even with an ASCII map above, it
is COMPLETELY ANNOYING. I've done the liberty of making a color-coded map on
GameFAQs for just this reason, although given how big it is, you'll have to
excuse its sprawl: www.gamefaqs.com/console/psx/file/198598/51722
_______________
―――――――――――――――
LEVEL: BRONZE 1
_______________
―――――――――――――――
The easiest level to proceed through, luckily. Up the tunnel is a magically
locked door, which is the game's polite way of saying this is going to be a
huge key fetch quest. The [BRONZE KEY], the first item in the game, is just
in the hands of some goons down the bifurcation, luckily. Enter the new area!
There are cages here with slaves in 'em -- emancipate and proclamate, son.
One of the rooms around here has [250 Hexite], [Reptile Eggs], [Mead], and
[Slicer], although the player has to deep-six some goons to get 'em. There's
a storage room nearby there, although the camera angle looks like a wall is
continued, shielding the entrance. It leads to [Infantry Armor]! Equip it on
your weakest-DEF character and head to the far corner behind the cages, past
the mess hall.
One of the areas is a storage, with [Aether Drop] and [Fegglenut] hidden in
a blind corner; the other leads up to Bronze 2 Level. Take that path.
_______________
―――――――――――――――
LEVEL: BRONZE 2
_______________
―――――――――――――――
The SW and SE corners here are storage vaults, containing [1500 Hexite] and
a [Warbird Bow]; and, [4750 Hexite], [Stoutsoul Blade], and 20 [Ares Arrow]s.
Near where y'came in, take the western door to a 'petit vault' that Windleaf
will blow to smithereens. The items here are a [2nd Chance], 2 [Tync An'Sar],
[500 Hexite], and a double [Aether Wafer]. Use this Petit Vault -- or the
other one, since it ends up in the same place -- to get into the northern
area of Bronze 2.
---
The far west and east rooms have slaves to free, while the middle has some
[Nectar], three [Porf Jerky]s and two [Banori Cheese] rolls. Use the NW
corner passage to enter a new area of Bronze 1, or rather, the same area but
across the destroyed bridge from before. =/
_______________
―――――――――――――――
LEVEL: BRONZE 1
_______________
―――――――――――――――
There are no items here, although one of the side-rooms has a sleeping cot,
so harness the powah (!) of sleep if required. The large center building has
some slaves in it, although once freed, witness what happens to them down
the path. After fighting an easy battle with an Overseer/Darg Org troupe,
the floor caves in spectacularly, plummeting everyone downwards.
---
Ending up by a small sewer stream, step on the steppin' stones to find ten
[Ares Daggers]. Now, there are two ladders here, leading to either the floors
Silver 1 and Gold 1. The latter requires the Silver Key, however, so ignore
it and go for the former.
_______________
―――――――――――――――
LEVEL: SILVER 1 NOTE: A glitch here may prevent items from being picked
_______________ up. Re-enter screen to alleviate this problem...!
―――――――――――――――
This is one of the more confusing zig-zaggy parts of the dungeon, and I had
a heck of a time mapping it (at least so it didn't look like crap). Stick w/
the eastern wall which leads to relatively dead-end area with 5 [Spiritspike]
projectiles for Jirina.
Backtrack to the last fork and keep going west with the path's flow, 'til
y'run into a dead-end with ten [Icespike]s. From here, go south, west a ways,
and then the next south-leading path to a [Aether Wafer]/[Lifedew] combo. Now
the object is to make it to the southwest corner of this crappy obstacle. I
suggest looking at the map I created for a general hint, since listing fifty
different directions in a row is more detrimental than helpful. VISUAL AID!!
_______________
―――――――――――――――
LEVEL: SILVER 2
_______________
―――――――――――――――
The first door along this relatively straightforward section contains a nice
bounty: [989 Hexite], 2 [Aether Wafer]s and a [Toxnaught Ring]! Make sure to
equip that accessory on someone, now. At the 4-way fork, ignore all paths
'cept the eastern (the others require Gold/Silver keys) which will lead to
a slave work area and another mandatory fight. Proceed through the well-lit
areas until a dark cave section again.
First door y'encounter is a slave/sleeping area. Rest up, skip the next one,
and loot the next two chambers for a [Mallet], [Spikes], 2 [Picks], and some
[Infantry Gauntlets]. Return to the eastern door that was skipped, fight yer
way into the eastern section of Silver 2.
Luckily, it's uneventful and doesn't have any items. Find the eastern room,
which is an easy task, and it will lead back to Silver 1!
_______________
―――――――――――――――
LEVEL: SILVER 1
_______________
―――――――――――――――
The object here is to get the Silver Key from one of the captains. Let's go
east (counterclockwise) for this next way. The #18 treasure is in a dead-end
room, with an [Aether Potion] and [1395 Hexite] haul. There's healing water
if yer parched, too.
Back at the last fork, keep going north, zig-zagging to the next room, with
the #19 treasure: [7750 Hexite]. Observing the map I made, find the middle
room where Jirina can finally get revenge on the person she was a slave to
(there is some creepy talk here...). The overseer drops the [Silver Key],
and there's [325 Hexite], [Infantry Helm], and two [War Drink]s present also.
Go west as far as y'can, then north the same to the next door; [5000 Hexite]
stash! Yeah, this stuff's laying around like it's dirt. From here, the far-
-west healing water room is a cinch to find. Fifteen [Striker Arrow]s can be
found within, too! From this point, just take the southern path to wind up
at the starting point for this level.
---
With the Silver Key, the object is to get to the Gold Floor. Unfortunately,
it requires re-locating the watery passage, since that's the only option...
To find it, look for the "24" on the map and meander there. The shortest
way is to:
- Backtrack to Silver 2, taking the westernmost exit (by the "15")
- Backtrack through Silver 1, taking the northeasternmost exit
At this point, just take the other ladder to find Gold 1.
_____________
―――――――――――――
LEVEL: GOLD 1
_____________
―――――――――――――
Unlock the silver gate and go west, entering the first door y'see. It's an
executive suite (fancy talk for resting place) with some enemies inside.
Get the [200 Hexite] and [Burvine Leaf] afterwards. Keep going west until
y'can go south, which leads to the Gold 2 entrance point. [1000 Hexite] and
another [Toxnaught Ring] are a parting shot.
_____________
―――――――――――――
LEVEL: GOLD 2
_____________
―――――――――――――
After climbing up, get the [Toparri Salve] and enter the hallway again. Going
counterclockwise, ignore the next door (empty & bloody) and take the next
north-leading hallway to a room with some harlots...haha. After they leave,
get the [2500 Hexite] and ten [Striker Arrows]. In the outer hallway, in a
dead-end RIGHT by the door, is ten [Boltspike]s, [Imperial Armor], [Imperial
Gauntlets], and an [Imperial Helm]. SCORE!
Follow the eastern road to the rookery. Two items are off-screen initially,
but by investigating the far reaches of the left/right sides, the [700 Hexite]
and [Tync An'Sar] items can be found. Continue north to fight some scientists
who would rather die than give up the [Gold Key]! This is the last item in
the game.
_____________
―――――――――――――
LEVEL: GOLD 1
_____________
―――――――――――――
Return to Gold 1's executive suite, sleep off the funk, and continue north to
a forked path. Take either the left/right, kill some freaks, and enter a PVC
pipe-lookin' inlet to the caves' boss.

Again, another easy battle, especially since the team has eaten experience
with all the mandatory battles in this dump! It can cast World's Fist for
+120 earth-elem damage, but this battle should be over in two turns anyway.
Just another example of poor difficulty...
---
Afterwards, everyone wakes up back in Pays'Hom. There is new dialogue from
the freed slaves and the smithy that was closed down will have opened shop
once more [SHOPLINK: SH06]. Try to leave town to learn some enemy sentries
had just left to report what happened back at Pays'Hom! Start heading north

There's little of interest here, but this place | 01 | Michi Armor |_|

however. Steal the [Michi Armor], [Michi Helm], |____|____________________|

|_|-ENTER
Before entering this dump, the team runs into some sentries (3 Darg Org) and
cleans their clocks for no charge. As many games before them, the team makes
do and dresses up in enemy uniforms to infiltrate the garrison. In the first
screen, the upper & leftmost tent contains [100 Hexite], [Wyld Root], [Waken
Powder], and [Shine]; throw the chaff away. Another tent nearby contains a
sword for Stinger, the [Lucky Striker].
In the next screen is a 4-way path; luckily none of them are important to
visit. The next one has a 6-way path! To the first left is a torture room
where one can play the Gadget Madness minigame, and across the hall is some
SHINIES! Haha... Thirty [Stout Arrow]s and [500 Hexite].
On the same side of that hall, but just one over, is a real treasure room.
[2nd Chance], [Nor Moss], [2500 Hexite], [Lifegiver Bow] n' [Earthbane Sword]
can all be found within. The other chest contains [NuBattle Armor], [NuBattle
Helm], and some [NuBattle Gauntlets]. Unfortunately, these can only be stuck
on a character not yet recruited, and he's on Harv-5's path! You will want
to save these just the same since they're quite good, especially at elemental
defense.
Across the path is the "Hall of Hammocks" that leads to Pogras' den. Killing
him fails, however, and everyone is stuck in jail. The two Gadgeteers (Lou
and Calark) will help everyone break out: safety in exchange for a ride back
to Arkose. There will be some crappy stall battles from guards who used to
leave y'alone before, though. Before going out into the open air, make sure
to stop by Pogras' den and get the treasure chests that were strewn around
the place: [5000 Hexite], [Aether Potion], [Deathguard Armor], [Deathguard
Gauntlets], and [Deathguard Helm]. All useful stuff.
Also, did you free the other jailed prisoners? You should if you have any
conscience... >__>
Try to leave the place and the boss battle begins.
|――――――――――――――――|―――――――|―――――――――|―――――――――――|―――――――――|――――――――――――――――――――|
| General Pogras | Chaos | HP: 668 | EXP: 380 | $: 491 | DROPS: ----------- |
|________________|_______|_________|___________|_________|____________________|
Just keep attacking. Pogras relies mostly on physical strength, and like the
previous boss (Minelord), his HP's small boost in no way outclasses the
damage output of three attacking characters. Mission: possible. His BigBang
attack can't even do 100 damage, for gawd sake...
---
After inserting Disc 1 and leaving the old Eyre landing point, return to the
Magic Academy and the scene will automatically switch over to Xero/Harv-5's
journey!

17) BENE BROKUL [WK17]
_______________________________________________________________________________
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――| ## | ITEMS ―――――――――――――|――――――
| | |_
After leaving the Magic Academy, head north | 01 | 750 Gold |_|
to the Crescent Valley. Bene-Brokul is near | | Quillshot [10] |_|
the eastern mountains, 'fore Gogarin Keep... | 02 | 50 Gold |_|
| | Aether Wafer |_|
Upon entering the snowcapped peaks, take the | | Vigor Pill |_|
left path to a corpse carrying [750 Gold] n' | | Fyrn Tonic |_|
ten [Quillshot]. Inside the crystalline cave | 03 | 20 Gold |_|
past a bridge, hang a left and look for a | | Elixir of Oax |_|
shimmering blue gem on the ground. Inspect | | Razordart [20] |_|
it and everyone learns the 'Ice Twitch' | 04 | 800 Gold |_|
attack, used just like the Fire Twitch one | | Gems [3] |_|
except with a different combination (X+[]). | 05 | 500 Gold |_|
Follow this place to the exit. | | Beans [3] |_|
| 06 | Razordart [20] |_|
Back in the mountains, a highwayman decides | 07 | 150 Gold |_|
to attack the party. Slay 'em in the snow n' | | Platemail Armor |_|
proceed into the town proper. Zombies, Ghoul | | Platemail Gauntlets|_|
Warriors and Skeletons inhabit the outdoors | | Platemail Helm |_|
portions. No one in town will open their | | Armortrout [2] |_|
doors until the foul beasties are cleansed. | | Qyg's Snuff |_|
After playing janitor in Anglerville, this's | 08 | Aether Drop |_|
yawn-worthy! Most're by the town square, but | 09 | 1000 Gold |_|
some are by the schoolhouse & house just off | 10 | Barleyfiz |_|
the main path. A notification plays when all | | Ale |_|
are defeated, but there's still a noise from | | Beer |_|
the graveyard. | | Wine |_|
| 11 | Accuracy Amulet |_|
Go there and... | 12 | Candy [5] |_|

| SpiritStalker | ----- | HP: 866 | EXP: 334 | $: 386 | DROPS: ----------- |
|_______________|_______|_________|___________|_________|____________________|
Use PsiArmor/Strength on Harv-5 and have Xero either aggressive attack or
use Queen Brokul a few times (or item heal!). Harv should just thwack the
boss like a red-headed stepchild. Remember to use those twitch attacks for
extra damage! Death's Fog can do 120+ damage, so don't be too slow about it.
---
Afterwards, the townspeople will emerge and looting the place can begin. The
house nearest the entrance (Ragark's) and search a bucket for [50 Gold], an
[Aether Wafer], [Vigor Pill], and [Fyrn Tonic]. Sleeping and saving in the
adjacent sheep pen is possible, too, eliciting a funny convo between the two
teammates.
Across the road is Nolin's house, having a [20 Gold], [Elixir of Oax], and a
twenty-piece [Razordart] set. The graveyard has trophies to die for, also:
[800 Gold], 3 [Gems], [500 Gold], 3 [Beans], 20 [Razordart]s, [150 Gold],
[Platemail Armor], [Platemail Gauntlets], [Platemail Helm], 2 [Armortrout]s,
[Qyg's Snuff], and finally, an [Aether Drop]. All the junk's in plain view!
By the single house off the (left) main path, search Sweeney's Suite for
[1000 Gold] in a basket. In the town square, enter the Farmer's Flat. Search
the chamberpot-shaped cauldron for [Beer], [Barleyfiz], [Wine], and [Ale].
Also, search the stack of firewood for an [Accuracy Amulet]! Very useful as
it maxes out Xero's Magic stat automatically!!!!
Clancy has a shop nearby [SHOPLINK: SH08] but nothing else. Search the
schoolyard grounds for five [Candy]s. And that's all!
---
To leave this somber snowfield, take the small cave near King Khelest's
statue to reach the outer cliff walkways. A small ladder down will lead to
the Windtravellers' rendezvous point. Commit to the flight and Davin will
ferry everyone to...

\____|________|_________/
Pretty simple going, although walking on the squiggly mesa-tops can be a bit
more difficult. The plateau branching left off Davin's landing spot contains
[100 Gold] and a [Desert Pear], while the one almost directly across from it
has [Desert Gauntlets]. Exit to the #2 screen.
Follow the leftmost edge of the plateaus to a cache of [999 Gold], [Desert
Armor], and five [Gems]. A [Wyld Root] can be found by searching further.
Return to the last fork and part ways to the 3rd screen.
Going the north route leads to a triple fork, although only the eastern off-
-shoot has anything of worth: [2100 Gold] and five [Jewelry] pieces. The
latter will be useful coming up, so don't throw it away just yet.
Continue into the fourth screen by going east, and keep going that way to a
dead-end with three [Bottles] laying there. Yawn! Follow the more winding
path to find the exit. The other way leads to Artelier, but since there's no
reason to go there, and the door is in fact locked, why bother meandering?
To the world map!
---
Remember what was told about seeking out the nomadic tribe around her? That
is the next step. They only appear at the one of the oases that dot the
landscape, and whichever one they're found at is the one they're at for the
game's duration. Note that this is randomized each time one plays...
