E-mail me with anything you can tell me about the game
that isn't included in this walkthrough, I will add you to
the credit. However, please read the guide first, I will
always welcome inputs from everyone, but due to the fact
that the heavy load of email I get each day, please don't
send me something that is already been stated here.

Version History
Version 2.4 The code for the detector in the Solaris factory
has just been decoded, thanks to "Alex Belosic"
<arcanus11@hotmail.com> for sending it in.
Version 2.3 Added new info, most are from a friend who
wish to be known as "The One", he wish to remain nameless,
at least for now.
Version 2.2 I got my disk 2 back from a friend, haven't
played Xenogears in so long that I'm having trouble with
all the buttons. I just added some new info here, not
much info, I doubt you will notice the changes.
Version 2.1 finally, I'm about to finish, I still need a
few more things here and there. Overall, the guide is a
success for me.
Version 2.0 added a lot of things this time, but there
still needs a little more correction here and there. But
this is almost completely finished, it still need quite a
few gear skills/deathblows and stuff. But I'm pretty
closed to finishing the entire document.
Version 1.1 I've added monster's stats to the walkthrough,
they aren't 100% correct, but they are close enough to the
word perfect, so it should be good enough for everyone.
Version 1.0 added character's guide.
Version 0.6 corrections, and typos.
Version 0.5 added more info on the game. A lot of info,
this is a .5 added.
Version 0.1 Finally got started after beating the game a
few times and writing the FAQ on Boss Strategy, it's still
not published yet.
Introduction:
Hi,
This is my second time writing a walkthrough (even though
during this FAQ I already finished 2 other ones), so if
you got any problems or questions, e-mail me, I will help
anyway I can. Xenogears is a semi-difficult game, but
people can get stuck on something and take years just to
get past one little part. Don't be shy, I can help, I
already beat the game, level up to max, got a lot of
drives, have almost all the items, still missing the Life
Stone, darn… and I am also missing the Long Dark Coat,
forgot to take on Big Joe! But hey, I am still considered
to good at this game.
Any contribution is always welcomed, so if you got
something good and want to share it with the rest of us,
please do so. But please no hate mails, mail bombs, etc,
I don't need those, and thank god I haven't gotten any of
those yet so far. I'm purely writing for fun, some
information here are my opinion, please repect that, I'm
sure you have a different view point than me, let's just
leave it at that.
Also E-mail me with any of your comments (both positive or
negative, again, as long as it is helpful input towards me
or my work), or if you got something I didn't include
here, I will add you to the credit for it, it doesn't
matter how small it is. But again, please, no hate mail,
no mail bombs, you can take those to America Online or
something where people would open those mail. Here is my
email if you do wish to contact me for any reason,
SLTxAzN895@Hotmail.com.
There might be some difference in the game if you have to
imported JP version, from I've found out, the two versions
have very little or none differences. So if you got the
import version, and get stuck, ask for help, the story
line and game play are still basically the same, and I
believe the odds are that I can help out.
One thing to note here is this FAQS is written by me,
Scott, aka CrazeD. If you want to use some information
that is included here, just ask, I will let you. But
don't take this guide, change the name and claim it yours,
don't, that is just wrong, you are a disgrace to your
family if you do this. Taking other people's hard work
and saying it's yours. I know even if you do, you
probably won't get caught, even if you do get caught, and
the odds of me sueing you is slim, but for the little
voice in your head, don't do it.
This FAQS/Walkthrough was never intended to be in any
magazines, books, or walkthroughs that cost money. It is
purely for players who want to get through the game, or
need some hints from another player. This shouldn't be
sold to anyone, I don't care how much, but if anyone do
pay for this, I better get the money! Since I'm the one
who spent their time and effort into this guide, and I
give thanks to those who also helped out here, I couldn't
have done it without them.

New sections that will eventually come: Items and Gear

Sorry, but these sections will be delayed for quite
sometime, since I'm extremely busy with my schoolwork for
quite a while.
This FAQ/Walkthrough can be viewed with Microsoft Words or
Word Pad, I'm sure there are probably other word
processers that can view this, but I only tried out on
those two.
There are some bad news, the team that brough us Xenogears
is no longer with Square Soft, they have moved on to
Namco, so the next Xenogears would not be around for at
least a while. The odds of Xenogears 2 (the sequal or the
prequel) coming out on PSX are also very slim, but expect
it to be on PSX 2. If Square Soft appoint a new team to
work on Xenogears, it will still take a while, Square Soft
is fully planned for quite sometime, we can expect games
like Secret of Mana, FF9, FF10, Crono Cross (U.S.), etc to
be out way before the release of Xenogears 2.
The team for Xenogears with Namco is also considering the
sequal to this great RPG, however, Square Soft have the
full copyright of the Xenogears name. There are rumors
around saying they will make the new game but with a
different name, something Robot Gods, or Gods of Gears.
None have been confirmed yet, but I think

Fei always has good attack, he starts out strong and later
on he has the best set of 7ap deathblows, his Yamikei do
up to 4500 damage, even though it requires level 80, but
his Kokei only require level 70 and it do as much as 3000
damage. Fei is not the best character in the game but he
is very well rounded, his spells are not so great but as a
fighter, he doesn't really need all those spells. Fei is
forced upon you for most of the game, so its best to level
him up as much as you can so you can get his Yamikei
deathblow which requiring level 80, and his last spell Big
Bang (require level 72). When you can get drives from Big
Joe, remember to boost his attack as much as possible, he
doesn't have a good Ether ability so forget about his Chi
spells, and focus mainly on his regular attacks. Besides,
his deathblows deal far more damage than his magic ever
will do.

Weltell is Fei's first gear, it isn't the best but its
very well rounded and if you fully upgrades it every
chance you get, it should be one of your best gears.
Weltell 2 is the best gear in the game compare to the
other gears you can have access to then, System Id is just
unstoppable. Just forget about all the attacks and
skills, level infinity moves can cause around 6000 damage
at level 60, 3 turns of that can kill off just about
anything, when fighting against bosses 2 System Id should
kill off any of them. Then there is the super powerful
Xenogears, (it has to be the best, the game is named after
it) 99 percent of level infinity, 4 turns and start to
raise hell. And think Xenogears with Holy Pendent, 10
turns and 6 of them are level infinity. Xenogears is best
in the game, no other gear can compare with it, heck
nothing can even get close to it. However, you can get it
only almost when the game ends, the game will be too easy
if you get it too early.

Overall: C
Elly is a magic user, but in Xenogears, magic isn't that
useful other than healing and power boosting, so her
specially is just about worthless as her attack. Elly's
attack is awful, her rods miss a lot, she is slow, her
deathblows causes half of damage as other characters, and
her defense is just pitiful (some enemy causes 1 damage to
Fei, and can do up to 80 damage to Elly). She leaves you
party later on at almost the end of the game, and she is
the only one who don't get a omnigear. And the most sad
part about Elly is that her strong point is her Ether
attacks, but almost all her spell does lesser damage then
her deathblows. Overall she is quite useless, and I would
just recommend after Disk one, you don't use her ever
again.
Gear: Vierge
Attack: C
Defense: B
Speed: A

Ether Defense: B
Overall: B
Elly is a complete disappointment as a character, but her
gear is much better. Vierge got a good decent attack, and
it also packs a cool move call Aerods, for a small price
of 400 fuels, it damages all the enemy for a good 500 plus
damage. And its very useful in Bibel Tower against
Dominia and Kelvena, 2 Aerods can knock off Kelvena, and
another skill or two can finish off Dominia. One thing
bad about Elly is when your gears are at their best, she
leaves your party to go join evil, and another thing is
she don't get a Omnigear like everyone else. That is the
only thing you can find wrong with Vierge, overall Vierge
is a good gear, but it has a bad owner, Elly is just
pretty much bad all around. Elly gets an Omnigear, she
uses it during a scene, but you never get to control her
Omnigear other in Battling in Kislev. And because she
leaves you later on, you shouldn't waste too much money to
upgrading her gear other the times when you use her to
fight.

Citan without any question is the best character in the
game when he gets his katana, he is already one of the
best character in the game when he fights bare handed,
once the sword comes in the game, his attack power goes
up, almost doubling the damage he deals. His Crystal
Water is one of the game's best deathblows, and it looks
really good, like an air combo in Marvel vs Capcom. His
speed is faster than everyone including most enemies, he
get almost get in two hits for Bart, and Bart has above
average speed. Another thing to include here is his
defense, his defense isn't very good, and defense is a big
important aspect of the game, he suffers almost triple the
damage Fei suffers. His spells are okay, not very useful
other than his Senkei, it doubles a character's speed, but
when you can use this spells, you would probably already
have Speed Shoes which doubles your speed already. But
overall Citan is the best character in the game, and the
best thing about him is he learns his deathblows fast, and
all you really need to do is level him up.
Gear: Hemidal, Fenrir

Overall: B
Citan's gear is pretty average, not that great, but its
alright. Hemidal is just an average gear, it seems pretty
fast, but has bad defense, but I care about the speed
more. Fenrir on the other hand has better defense but I
still considered it has bad defense. Hemidal's attack is
not very good, his skills can do only 75% damage of
Weltell's. But Citan is forced upon you most of the first
disk so fully upgrade Hemidal and make the best of it.
When the second disk begins, Citan gets his Omnigear
Fenrir, which comes with better defense, a sword, and of
course level infinity. I would consider Fenrir one of the
best gear next to Weltell 2, Xenogears and Siebzehn, but I
would rather use Fenrir than Siebzehn because of the
speed. Citan's spells are only average when in character,
so his gear spells are pretty much usless, but since
Xenogears is a game that doesn't really require magic, so
Fenrir is still considered as a good gear. Fenrir's only
major problem is defense, but with a good piece of gear
armor, you won't have to worry about it than.

Bart is an average character, his attack is pretty good,
so is his defense and just about everything else. Bart is
my favorite character because he is kind of crazy and he
doesn't really think. For some reason my favorite
character is always a prince or a king, (my favorite
character in FF3 U.S. is Edgar, and in FF2 (US) is the
Ninja guy, Shadow or something, no that's FF3 (US), I
forget his name, its really old so shut up. Hold on it's
Edge, but Edge is in Rival Schools, I am just confused,
someone email me with his name, I am too lazy to play FF2
again, I don't know where my SNES is at anyway). Bart has
some good spells, but none of the spells in Xenogears
really matter. His cologne spells are all useful, but
since he isn't that fast so there is no point of actually
using them, unless you have to make him super strong for
some battle that last a long time. His deathblows are
average, all of his 7ap deathblows are elemental, just
like Citan, but his Tornado doesn't deal as much damage as
Crystal Water deathblow. Also another thing to note here
is that Bart misses (or get blocked) a lot of his square
and cross hits, so try to stay away from them. His gear
is good, but later on everyone gets better gears and his
don't really stand out anymore. Bart gets a head start
because he is the first one to get his Omnigear, Andvari
is your best gear early on, and Bart gets it during the
first disk. Since Bart is pretty good character, go level
him up and he should able to stand out to be your third
best character, or at least during the first disk.

Bart is the lucky one with the gear, his gear gets to use
a weapon early on, and that is very important when
fighting against some bosses. Like Calamity, Weltell can
only do around 60 damage, but Brigandier deals over 100.
Bart's gear's skills are pretty good too, and his level
infinity looks cool, especially his Meteor Falls, and he
is the only one that can do level infinity attacks on disk
one other than Maria. (The other people can do it, but
you need to wait like 30 or so turns, sometimes even more,
I have wait 56 turns for Vierge to do Dark Diva one time,
since I never seen it). His gear Andvari is good, having
already a good attack as a normal gear, and that means
Bart's Omnigear can do tons of damage. The gear's defense
is pretty good too, so that way you can save fuel on using
Frame HPs. But later on your other character's gear come
into the game like Xenogears and El Steir, everyone
catches on with Andvari, then Bart doesn't seem so special
anymore. But I still use Andvari as much as possible, its
my second most used gear next to Xenogears (Xenogears has
to be the best gear, the game is named after it).

Billy is probably the second best when in character in
Xenogears next to Citan, I would considered him to be
fourth because I like Fei and Bart better than him, also
since the game forces you to use Fei most of the time.
Billy's attack is good, and since there are only four
different guns he can use and all of them either come with
Billy when he joins you or you can find it somewhere
during the game, and that saves you money. But then his
bullets for the guns are quite expensive, every single
time you upgrade his gun, and you have to pay big time for
new more powerful bullets. Also once 7ap deathblows are
available to you, you will waste a lot of bullets trying
to learn Billy's 7ap deathblows. His ether gun is
unlimited but they are expensive and if you fight against
enemies like the Elements then he is pretty useless,
instead of dealing damage, he heals them. Billy's
deathblows are awesome, they look totally cool, his Dear
Friend deathblow make the game seem like a shooting game
almost like Area 51. And all of his 7ap deathblows will
always deal damage, and they can do around 1500 with the
God-father gun and some good ammo. The best thing about
Billy is he almost never miss his hits, all of his attack
connects, they don't even get blocked, and that can make a
big difference in the game, but if he fights against
enemies with good defense, his hit do only 1 damage.
Billy has regular speed, not fast but not slow. Then
comes magic, Billy has the best magic in the game, his
spells are all healing and effects, but they are so good.
His Holy Light heals everyone for a whooping 500, and
Goddess Wake is the only reviving spell, Chu-Chu got one
too, but Chu-Chu won't get a chance to use it. And when
you fight someone outside your gear like Id in Etho's Dig
Site, I don't think anyone can win without using Billy.
But since his ammo are limited so try to use his ether gun
more often so you can conserve bullets and money.

Billy's gear Renmazuo is a good gear, but uses bullets
that cost big bucks, so I don't use him a lot. Billy
joins your party late, and you really don't get a chance
to use his gear much, since Weltell is forced upon you all
the time, and you would rather take Siebzehn, Vierge or
Andvari. The second disk Billy get his Omnigear, and
upgraded Renmazuo, it looks better than before but is
still not that good in battle compare to your other super
power gears. Renmazuo is pretty much like its owner, even
thought its good, it don't get used a lot. Renmazuo is
actually one of the best gear in the game next to
Xenogears, but since it don't look as cool as the other
gear, it don't get as much attention as them, and like
it's owner, it never miss any attacks. Renmazuo's level
infinity can hit up to 9000, while Fenrir's can only do
around 7000-8000 damage. Renmazuo is truly underrated,
but it doesn't really matter that much, I never used Billy
in the second disk and I still beat the game, oh well.

Rico is a fighter, he is considered to be stupid, slow and
strong. But in this game the only thing is true about
that is his speed, he is quiet possible the slowest
character in the game, Citan can get in 3-4 attack for his
one. Rico has awesome attack power, super defense, and a
quiet good set of spells. His deathblows are also quiet
good, and he is the only one who gets an elemental attack
before the 7ap deathblows. And one bad thing about Rico
is that his 7ap deathblow are either elemental or it can't
hit gear sized enemy, (Duneman Isle's dragon!!!, he is
useless against the most important fights in the game) and
that's why I don't use him in character that much, another
bad thing about Rico is he misses a lot, he almost never
connect his cross attack. He gets a decent set of spells,
even though he shouldn't use any of them since he is so
slow, by the time he actually cast all the spells, the
fight is already over. Rico is good, but because he is so
slow, he is practically useless in character size.

Stier is much like its owner, very slow. Even with speed
shoes Stier is still slow, and because I think Stier looks
kind of ugly so I never use it in disk one at all. Rico
gets his Omnigear, an upgraded Stier later on in disk two,
since it looks a lot more cooler, and I just start using
it. El Stier is still slow but it has good HP, defense,
and really good attack. It might be one of the most
powerful gear in the game, I equip 3 GR50 on El Steir and
I got an output of 2000. Just think of that with Big
Joe's Omenga 1000 out put engine that is some attack power
3000, and Yggdrasil 4 super gear only has the output of
1000. El Steir's only weakness is his speed, if it has
Fenrir's speed, El Steir will be better than Xenogears,
another bad thing about Rico's gear is it tends to miss a
lot, it gets better when its in Omnigear, but Steir don't
always connect his hits. The skills of Stier looks cool,
but El Steir's hyper mode only has 10% when it is at full
HP, so it takes very long for it to get level infinity.
But El Steir doesn't need level infinity, just his regular
level 1 combos hit for well over 4000 against enemies with
good defense. And always remember to equip speed shoes on
Rico, it doubles his speed, he needs it more than anyone
else in the game!

Maria is a useless character, she can't do anything right
without her gear. Her attacks are really bad, and I mean
at level 80 she can only do around 100 damage to one
enemy, and if she don't miss any of her hits or gets
blocked by the enemy. She can't fight, her spells are not
that good, she is slow, she got terrible defense, she
don't have deathblows, and now we can just face the fact
that she is absolutely useless in every single way when in
character. She does however possess a good gear,
Siebzehn. The only time you should use her is when the
game forces you to, you should never ever use her for fun
or something, since she can get your party killed.
Gear: Siebzehn

Siezehn is one of the most powerful gear in the game, it's
attack, defense, HP, Ether defense are among the best in
the game. Siebzehn is however not really fast, it has
below average speed, but its power makes up for its speed.
The only thing to say about Siebzehn is that use every
chance you get, level up, upgrade, do everything you can
to power Siebzehn up, it is the best gear in the game
until you can get Xenogears. And remember to equip some
speed equipment for Maria, that way it also speeds up
Siebzehn. Siebzehn's gear option isn't that special, try
to stick with it's level 1 skill, since Siebzehn's level 1
skill deals much more damage than the 1000 fuel gear
option. Speed Shoes are put to good use here, Siebzehn
benefits a lot from it.

Emeralda is a good character, she has great speed, her
attacks are good, and she has an awesome set of spells.
One thing to note here is her low HP, and her below
average defense. Her low HP and defense makes her easy to
kill by enemies, and so level her up or use the drives on
her. That way she is more powerful and has better
defense, and hopefully not get killed that easily. Her
attack looks cool, she uses her body part to fight, she
can change her hair in a mace, or her foot into a blade
(it reminded me of Darkstalkers 3, Morrigan fights the
same way). Her speed is also good, she is possible to be
the fastest character in the game next to Citan. Her
spells are what Elly's supposed to be, they all look cool
and actually deals damage, unlike Elly's. Her deathblows
is another good thing about her, her Dark Beast deathblow
is the only darkness elemental attack other then Fei's
Yamikei, but Yamikei requires level 80, and you can learn
Emeralda's Dark Beast as soon as you can use her.
Emeralda is a good character but it is not wise to use her
unless her HP is rather high from level ups or drives, she
gets killed too fast by powerful enemies.
Gear: Crescens
Attack: B
Defense: C
Speed: A
Skills: B
HP: D
Spell: A
Ether Defense: B
Overall: B
Crescens has the same problem like her owner, low HP and
her. Crescens' highest possible HP is only 20800, when
Rico and Maria's gear can go up to as many as 38000. The
low HP waste fuel to heal every time and her low defense
make it even more fatal. Crescens has a good set of
spells, but since Xenogears doesn't really need magic like
Final Fantasy 7, it doesn't really make much of a
difference. But Crescens is still a good gear, use it
sometimes, it might surprise you how good it really is.
Crescens' attack is also quite good, so if you are using
all fast moving gears, you should able to finish off all
your opponents before they have their turn.

Chu-Chu is a cute character, never ever use her unless the
game forces you to, she is slow, she got no deathblows,
her HP is low, her defense is lower than everyone else,
and she just not good to use in any situation. She does
have a healing spell that cures gears, but it can only
heal around 1000 when Frame HP 10 and 800 fuel can heal
3000. She proves to be worthless, her attack is weaker
than Maria, and she don't have a gear. People told me
that she can be very powerful when you upgrade with
drives, I use some drives on her, didn't see any big
difference at all, so I recommend that you don't waste
expensive drives on her. Now I borrowed a friend's
GameShark, and gotten her to max stats with drives, she is
still pretty crappy compare to my other characters. The
only time you should use her is to check out her spells,
just for the heck of it. Her spells looks quite good, but
other than that, she is pretty useless.
Gear
See above for Chu-Chu's character
Chu-Chu's gear is her enlarged self, and all her stats are
the equivalent to her normal self. Which means the higher
the HP she has as character, the higher her gear HP will
be. That also goes for everything else. So meaning she
is also useless in gear as in character. However, Chu-Chu
can have a very high stats as a gear, but because she
doesn't have any gear skills, she is quite uesless in
attacks. Her healing spell is decent, but you never will
really need that.

Lahan Village

Treasure:
Aquasol (x5),
400Gs,
Power Ring,
Eyeball,
Aquasol S,
Mermaid Tear,
RPS Badge
Monsters:
Lil' Kobold, 3, Fencing Cap
Hobgob, 2, Hob-Jerky
Hopper, 8, Fencing Wear
The game starts off with Fei painting, you can get a
close-up on the painting but there isn't much of anything
else. First go to Fei's bed for his saved up money,
200Gs, then go around and you will see a maid in the other
room, talk to her for a scene about how you got here in
Lahan. The two barrows in the small room contains a
Aquasol each, so be sure to get them, now rotate your
camera to see a spider web, just jump up and get it, and
it will be useful later on. Then walk down and meet up
with everyone, you could talk to Timothy for a scene,
after speaking to everyone, go to the door and meet Dan.
This scene will further explain Fei's relationship with
Alice, Timothy and Dan, after the long scene, you can now
walk out the door and explore the town. Talk to Dan for
another funny scene, it doesn't make a difference which
choice you make so just make any. Time to collect some
items before going any further, start by talking to the
old man behind the door in the field twice for 2 Aquasols.
Next go talk to the women in sitting near the cow for
another Aquasol. Then go to each house and explore, one
house has a guy standing in the corner, he will play you a
rock-paper-scissors game, everytime you win you get 50Gs,
and of course everytime you lose you lose 50Gs. If you
manage to beat him 5 times in a row (not that hard), you
get a RPS Badge, which is useful later on. Downstairs in
this house has an old lady, talk to the old lady answer
the question to your best knowledge and you will get some
more money, and then just exit that house, don't go to
Alice's house yet, instead go to the bar further down. In
the bar there is a man in blue standing near the steps,
talk to him and answer drinking won't solve any problems,
and he will give you a Mermaid Tears, very useful later
on, a must get, and this is your only chance. Then go the
house with the save point, you could talk to Lucca from
Chrono Trigger for tips on the Save Point, but it cost
money, so don't unless you really don't know, talk to the
man teaching about battling and he will give you some
money when he's done. When you get outside go to the
center and there is a well, jump in three times to get a
Power Ring, Aquasol S, and an Eyeball. Then go to Alice's
house, (she loves Fei instead of Timothy, so sad…), talk
to Alice upstairs, then just exit and go to the mountains.
I would however encourage you to go to the world map and
fight a little bit, get use to the battle system, try to
get to level 3 before entering the mountains, also see if
you could pick a couple of Fencing Wear and Fencing Cap
from battle. Also get the Mermaid Tear and RPS Badge
before leaving, and this is your only chance. RPS Badge
might prove hard to get, don't think about leaving, save,
and try again, the count resets every time you leave that
house. Try to look for a pattern in that guy's choices,
you will get the hang of it eventually and get the hard
earned badge.
##################################################
Lahan Mountains
##################################################
Treasure:
Aquasol (2),
Bird Egg,
Spider
Jackal, 3
Hob-job, 2, Hob Jerky
The mountain has a save point and two different path, take
the one going straight, and get the Aquasol, then just
fight a little on the way, maybe you can get your first
deathblow by now. Whenever your HP gets too low, use
Inner Healing or go back into town to heal up, save up
every item. Follow the path back to the save point and
there is a little dome with a tree on top, and there is a
light color path next to it, walk up that path (a bit hard
to see, just stumble around to find it if you haven't
already). Once you are on the dome, jump up and find a
bird nest, you could get the Bird Egg. However the Mama
Bird will keep attacking you until you give it back, and
the egg will add 20 pounds to your body weight if you
choose to keep it, so it's really up to you. The heavier
you are, the higher your attack will be, but your speed
will decrease, and vice versa, so just keep your regular
body weight. Jump across the gorge and cross the bridge,
and one of the tree there will have a spider when you jump
next to it, take it by pressing X. The spider is useful
later on the game when Chu-Chu joins you. There is
another Aquasol down the bridge, get it and exit the
mountains to the Doctor's house. The mountain will
hopefully bring you some more money and items, the Hob-Gob
will drop Hob Jerky sometimes when they are killed, use
those instead of Aquasols, but rely more on Inner Healing
since it's free.
##################################################
Doctor's House
##################################################
Treasure:
Aquasol,
Midori's Ring,
120 G.
Monsters: none
First go into the house and talk to Yui, she is by the
tables near the kitchen, and she will tell you that Citan
is still outside tinkering with the gear. Exit the house
through the side door, and when you get outside, there is
a row of flowers, jump inside the flowers next to the
house, and press X next to the flowers, and you get
Midori's Ring. It become very, very useful later on, you
can get one of the game best items with that. Now you can
go up the stairs, in the middle there are two doors; one
door lead to a bedroom, the one across from it holds an
Aquasol and a chicken. Now keep walking up and go into
Citan's bedroom, walk up the stairs inside the room and
you will get on top next to a Telescope, carefully jump to
the chimney pipe and get 120Gs. I didn't want the money,
I am not sinking that low, taking money from a friend, you
can take it if you want to, it doesn't really have any
major impacts on the game other the money. Go to the back
yard and Citan will appear, go inside the little shack and
see a scene, after the scene Yui will cook and if you got
the Bird Egg, Yui will cook it and you will gain weight.
Get the bird egg if you want to gain 20 pounds, that will
increase your attack, but you will lose some speed. After
your comments on Yui's good cooking, you will get the
camera equipments, now just go back to Lahan village.
Head back toward Lahan, you will have to walk through the
mountain again.
##################################################
Lahan Town
##################################################
Treasure: none
Monster: none
The mountain is dark, but there aren't any enemies, so you
don't have to worry about anything. When you get past the
bridge, you will lose control of Fei, Citan will come
catching up to you, a loud noise flys over your heads as
some gears passes by. Citan said he heard something
heading for Lahan and tell you to go back fast, he will
leave you and head for the village, just follow him, save
at the save point near the mountain entrance.
When you get to Lahan, you will see that the village is
burning in fire. You will get into some scenes, and meet
up with Alice and Timothy. They will tell you that Dan is
missing, but there isn't anything you can do. Just watch
the scene. You and Citan will split up and look for
survivors, Dan will turn up eventually, and he is here to
save Alice's Wedding Dress. Fei sees a empty black gear,
he decide to get into the gear and try to fight off the
enemies.
After the long scenes you will get into your first gear
battle, Weltell is strong compared to the other gears,
just hammer away and you will win. And some sad scenes
follow; I am not going to spiol it for you, you just have
to see for yourself, but this is really a sad scene. And
this is your first Anime scene, so enjoy it. Dan looks
really funny in the scene, he got such a big head for a
little boy.
Fei will wake up the next day, and Dan is really mad about
what happened and wants to kill Fei. Fei have to leave
just to keep peace, Citan tell him to head for Blackmoon
Forest, and said that he will follow later when the town
people are settled down. Blackmoon forest is right next
to the burned down Lahan, it is the only forest around,
the entrance to the forest is to the north west side of
the forest.

Aquasol (2)
Monster:
Forest Elf, 21, Zetasol
Armor Grub, 35, Bizfruit
Hobgob, 2, Hob-Jerky, Hob-Steak
Jackal, 3
Just go through and get into some fights, try to get your
Raijin deathblow right here, none of the fights here are
too tough, just use Inner Healing when your HP get too
low. Keep going and there will be a big round rock, press
X and jump back, if you get in the way you will lose HP,
after it passes go through for a scene and a friend. Elly
appears for the first time, she is fairly weak now but she
is actually quite useful here for some good money flow.
Whenever you see a Hog-gob, fight it and kill it with
Elly's fire ether attack, that leaves behind Hob-Steak, it
cures for 500, and sells for 150Gs, you should rack up
around 8-10 of them here. Keep going and pick up the
Survival Tent and Aquasol, and when you see a white color
rock used for a bridge, unequip all of Elly's things, her
Pilot Uniform will sell for 2500Gs. Now go into battle
against two DiveBomber and two Forest Elves, don't worry
if Elly gets killed, she will leave you after this battle.
The fight isn't too tough, just use Fei's best deathblow
and knock out the Forest Elf first, use Inner Healing if
your HP goes low. After the battle Elly will yell at you
and leave, and she gets attack by a Dragon or dino like
thing. That thing is gear size, but Fei will try to take
the Dragon on with his fists.
Fei to the rescue, but first get the Arcane Rod, then head
SouthWest for fight Ranker. During this time, you won't
fight any enemies. You can't win this fight, so just
attack a few times, and Citan will come to your rescue
with Weltell. Weltell should make slime of Ranker in no
time, take this time and check out your Weltell, mess
around with the buttons and effects to find out more about
gear usage and gear battles.
Boss#1: Ranker
HP: 800
Exp: 348
Specialty: Tail Whip
Treasure: Scales
The first boss is a T. Rex like dragon, just do 30 fuel
and your best level one attack, you should win, no big
deal. The Ranker has 800 HP, use booster to speed things
up a little bit. This boss is easy, use anything you
want, check around and just win whenever you want.
And then after a long talk by a campfire between Elly and
Citan, Elly leaves you and Citan joins, read the scenes to
know more about Elly's past and why is she here. Citan is
so much more useful than Elly, since Elly is one of your
worst characters! And Citan is your best.
*NOTE---Level up Citan, this is probably your only chance
for a long time, level up in the desert before going in
Dazil. The fights aren't too hard, both Citan and Fei
have a healing spell that can provide a lot of experience
and money. Try to get some deathblows for both of these
fighters.
##################################################
Dazil
##################################################
Treasures: none
Monster:
Sand Shark, 121
Sand Man, 60
The town is small compared to what is facing you ahead,
just shop if you want, don't waste any money, just sell of
the things that you won't need like Hob-Steak and Elly's
equipment. You should able to get around 8000-9000Gs by
now, if you got any lesser, just remember to fight and
level up later on in the desert before going for the Sand
Cruiser, this way both Fei and Citan will level up. First
go to the South end of the city and go into the Gear shop,
after the scenes with the mechanics, exit and there will
be another scene as Citan talks to Fei. After that scene,
go back north and you will see a Jeep like car, go inside
to the house next to it and talk to the guy behind the
desk inside. Citan will than leave you and you won't wait
for him, so you have to go look for him. In the Inn here
you will meet Big Joe, he will be everywhere you go from
now on, (he is really weird, and he has to be a stalker
cause he follows you everywhere. I am just kidding, Big
Joe later has the best gear shop you can find, so who
cares if he follows you around). Big Joe will get into an
argument, Fei watches on, but nothing really happens, so
just leave afterwards. Go towards the desert when you get
to the world map and enter the desert to the south west of
the town.
##################################################
Desert
##################################################
Treasure: none
Monster: see above for Dazil
The endless desert, first you will see two Gear after you
entered a new screen, just follow them off the screen.
Fight in here, the enemies are easy, and try leveling up
to around 14 or 15. Then there will be big flying thing,
(Shevat) at the next screen and you can just follow that,
and it will get kind of dark. Keep going to the next
screen has two similar looking gear from screen one,
follow those two. Then Fei gets rough, as he steals a
dirt bike and gets busted by two sand trooper gears.
Again Citan go the rescue, Weltell should scrap these two
gears fast, however, try to get full fuel by charging
before he finish off the two Gears, don't worry about HP,
but don't use your EP though, it will be important in the
next fight. This is only a battle that will try to weaken
you, the real boss battle is still up ahead.
Grahf, the guy with the cool looking gear comes out, he
will be your biggest enemy in Disk one, but he won't fight
you just yet, so he summons a worm monster to fight you.
Trust me, Grahf will kick your butt even if he don't use
his gear, you don't want to take him now. Grahf is one of
the game strongest enemies, since he is the only one who
can deal 29997 damage to one gear in one attack. You will
personally get to know that attack on the second disk.
The worm monster comes out of the ground and just wiggle
around, Grahf will order it to attack, he sees this as a
test to see your true skills.
Boss#2: Wyrm
HP: 200
Exp: 1044
Specialty: Slurp, drain fuel
Treasure: Eyeball
This is can get tricky, since you just got your Weltell
and didn't really get a chance to upgrade it at all, this
battle can take a long time for you to win. But here is a
easy way out, just hit Wyrm with your 10 fuel attack and
your best level one skill. When you run out of fuel,
which you eventually will, just do a couple of Guided
Shot, and you win, or you can just do Guided Shot from the
start and win faster, you just need enough EP, its totally
up to you how you want to do it. Wyrm is a very tough
customer, it is very fast, it's defense is beyond belief,
most 10, 20, 30 fuel attacks will deal 0-5 damage, so just
use 10 fuel to conserve fuel. Level 1 skills don't deal
high damage either, however, it is the only thing you can
use as of now, so stick with it if you don't have enough
EP.
The worm monster is a piece of cake if you saved your EP,
after a couple of Guided Shot, it will be probably ready
to die, if you run out of EP, just hit him with your 10
fuel and level one attack. After the battle, Weltell gets
really weak due to low fuel and Aveh Soldiers arrest both
Fei and Citan, along with Weltell. That isn't fair, my
Weltell can make scrap out of those two sand troopers, but
this is how the story goes so jusst stick with it.

Fei wakes up in a prison cell, now just talk to Citan, he
doesn't really have anything interesting to say, so just
choose to rest. When you get into some rest, you will see
a priate, Bart, get to know him since he will be your next
character. Bart will attack the Aveh ship trying to take
Weltell, after the long scenes you will be free from your
room as the priate ship fires on the Transport. The cell
door will be opened, it's time to make your escape. Sand
will slowly rise, when it's over head, you will die. Head
out and go down to get the treasures, don't worry about
the sand kills you, you just start again from the room,
some how you keep the treasures you already got, so be
sure to get the treasures at least. Keep going and you
will be in an engine room, get the two treasure and watch
out, sometimes during battle the floor will blow up hurt
both you and your enemy, that attack will hurt you more
than it will the enemies, so watch out. Don't waste too
much time in this room, the battles can hurt your party
bad, mostly the blowing up during battle part, it always
go in favorite of the enemies. After getting the
treasures, just keep going and you will be in a room with
a lot of boxes, save and go outside, run from battles if
you want to, use Citan's healing spell to keep your HP up
when it gets low. When you get oustdie, there will be a
big crane, so just walk through the crane and you will get
to your Weltell, if you fall down too much time, you will
have to start all over again from the cell room. As you
get into Weltell and flys off, a boss battle will arrive.
Boss #3: Brigandier

Bart is a hot head, and he gets mad at you for some
reason, so he attacks you. He isn't that hard, just turn
on your booster, use 30 fuel attacks and your best level
one skill. You'll win, just don't do anything stupid,
stick with the 30 fuel and level one skill, and don't do
Guided Shot, it don't cause any damage. After the battle,
the both of you will both sink underground. This is a
easy battle, when the battle ends, you will finally get to
keep your gears and use them as you please.

Underground Cave

Treasure:
Gold Nugget,
IronG Whip
Monster:
Medusoid, 689
Tin Robo, 680, Extra Ar+1
May Fly, 1410, Extra Ar+1
Nomad Fix Bot, 420 (he heals you, so don't kill him early)
A brief scene with Citan talking to Yggdrasil's first mate
Siguard, they seem to know each other, they will talk a
little and the scene will switch to Bart and Fei in a
underground cave.
Say hi to your new friend, he promises not to kill you,
yet. Bart is an average character, but use him anyway,
you really can't choose from anthing else yet anyway.
Bart got the best gear in the game until Siezbehn, but he
gets his Omnigear just a half hour or so after that, so
stick with him for disk 1.
Save and jump down from that platform, walk around and
fight a few times, I would recommend you to level up to at
least level 19 before you get anywhere. Most battles here
are quite easy, if this is your first time playing this
game, take this chance to fully understand the usage of
the gears and gear skills. Walk around the place, you
will find an exit, but a giant rock is in the way. Go
near it, Bart will comment on the exit, he will tell you
want to do. Anyway, you start by pushing the big rock out
of the way, get the treasure other the other side and keep
going. After the long path, there will be a water fall
and a Gear, talk to the gear for information (not that
important unless this is your first time playing). Go
west for IronG Whip, and you should see a red light,
ignore it for now but remember where it is, now head back
to the gear and go south, after jumping on the rocks, you
should see a little cave. Get out of your gears and go
into that cave and you will meet Old Man Bal, talk to him
and after the long scenes about the cave, the Omnigears,
etc. Afterwards you should buy new gear stuff from him,
get a new engine, new frame, but not new Armor, there is
no need for that. Sell the extra thing you got from
battles like your Extra Ar, and Bart's old whip, you
should able to have around 12000Gs at least now after
upgrading. If not, go out and battle some more, when your
Gear HP falls too low, go back to Old Man Bal and repair,
try to get Bart's deathblows here by letting him walking
around on foot and Fei in gear. Now it's time to shut off
the two sensors, one of the sensors is the place where you
get the IronG Whip, go back and press X next to it. The
other sensor is quite far away, first go back to Bal's
Cave, go along the east side and there is another exit,
follow it to a long path, keep going and you will be at
the second sensor, shut it off and return to Old Man Bal's
cave. After more scene you will able to go through the
sand door, you should be around level 24, if not, level up
a little, try to get some money in this dungeon before you
leave. This dungeon gives you the most money until you
get your water ship Yggdrasil. I would say Calamity is
one of the harder bosses in Disk one, so get your level as
high as possible, and it would be good to take Bart on
foot and Fei in gear, get Bart's other deathblow, that
lets him use his T S combo. People say that leveling up
doesn't affect your gear, that isn't true, the higher your
level is, the better your evade and speed, you also get
more confidence when fighting, so level up, enemies here
gives out good experience. After you are ready, refuel at
Old Man Bal's cave and go past the sand barrier, you are
going to fight Calamity soon, but remember to save before
going down the second elevator. You will see Calamity
putting up an air show before he actually attacks you, in
any case, enjoy the battle.
Boss#4: Calamity
HP: 2500
Exp: 0
Specialty: Rockets, 500 damage
Treasure: none
One of the harder bosses in Disk One, Calamity has a
whooping 2500 HP, his Rockets attack do around 500 damage
to one of your gear, and you can't heal yourself yet.
First upgrade everything especially on Brigandier, and let
Bart out of his gear and fight enough for him to get his
triangle square gear skill, and try to level up a bit
more. Then go fight Calamity, don't battle on the way,
keep your full strength, just run away or go around on
foot and then run away, keep your gear perfectly healthy,
you are going to need it (one time I won with Weltell with
16 HP left and Brigandier dead). First cast Wild Smile on
Calamity as soon as the battle starts, that way his
regular hit can't hit you, remember Wild Smile wears off
after a few turns, so do it again every 4-5 turns to make
sure it stays in effect. Then hit Calamity with your 10
fuels attacks and T S skills, and hope that he doesn't do
his rocket attack that much. Don't forget to turn on
booster. When you run out of fuel, just charge a few
turns and go back to attacking, booster will automatically
turn off when you are out of fuel. Also, your fuel charge
amount changes when you are at a higher level, if you are
at level 0, you charge 30 fuel, if you are at level 1, you
charge 20 more fuel, which is 50, the higher the level,
more the fuel. This is a tough battle, so it might take a
few tries before you succeed. When you do beat Calamity,
Bart and Fei will have a scene, then Calamity will get up
again and attack Bart (god, you have to fight him again
with him at full strength!!! Just kidding). Anyway Bart
will get hit and Fei do his level infinity Kishin to save
him(you don't get Kishin until end of Disk one at least),
Kishin is Fei best attack so enjoy it and dream about
getting it. (too bad, you don't get it right now, sad…
You must really want it, hey you can get it when you level
up to level 70 and 7ap attacks, it is going to take around
40 or so hours, but you will get it, eventually.)

Yggdrasil

Treasure: none
Monster: none
After the long fight without any kind of reward, not even
any money, you will be at the Yggdrasil, try to get use to
the rooms in the ship, you will be in here for a lot of
times. Check the gear shop, but don't buy anything, don't
refuel, when you are done wondering around, just go to the
room in the hallway and choose to rest.
##################################################
Bart's Hideout
##################################################
Treasure: Iron Whip
Monster:
See above for Dazil and Desert
This is just a place for you to rest, just go through the
scenes with Bart and Maison and then just go to sleep in
the other room. But when you have a chance to wonder
around by yourself, go to Bart's room, it's the one with
white paper on the door telling you not to enter (enter
and die), get the Iron Whip inside. You could also go
outside to level up a little, but it's not worth the time.
The scenes with Bart contains some information that is
quite helpful if you want to understand more about Bart
and Bart's past.
During that night, you will wake up due to an attack by
the Gebler forces, just save and exit the room. First
Bart will get into a battle with two Sword Knight, Bart
has two red gears helping him, just use your best attack,
don't bother with booster, the Sword Knight are easy, they
should go down fast. Don't worry about how the Red Gears
are doing, this is the only battle they will be in.
The next battle is with Citan, he gets a green and white
gear named Hemidal from the gear hanger, just attack and
take out the Aegis Knight. Use the same way like above
with Bart, 30 fuel and level one should finish this Knight
off in a few turns, don't bother with booster to conserve
fuel.
After a little more scenes, another battle takes place,
Citan and Bart will have to fight two Wand Knights. These
two knights are harder compare with the other ones, their
beam attack will do some serious damage to your gears, but
since they have low HP, they shouldn't be much of a
problem. Just don't waste a lot of fuel for this fight,
there is more up ahead, but turn on booster to speed up
the fight, remember HP is more important since you can't
heal your gears yet.
Then Fei gets mad at the Claw Knight for attacking 2
little kids, so he fights him with Weltell. This is an
easy battle, and two level one Reppu should take him out.
Fei now joins the battle along with Bart and Citan. The
last gear of the Gebler forces will arrive and a battle
starts.
Boss #5: Schpariel
HP: 4649
Exp: 17890
Specialty: Pile Driver, "armor damage"
Treasure: Beam Coat
He is easy, but you have already wasted some of your HP
and fuel on earlier fights with his knights, you might
have to waste some time killing him. But don't worry,
Citan's new gear do huge amount of damage to Schpariel,
just use whatever skill you got right now and you'll win
after a few rounds, remember to turn on booster to speed
things up. The Beam Coat he left behind is quite useful,
so equip it once you have won. Don't worry much about
Pile Driver too much, just use Inner Healing to heal your
armor when they drop under 50%. Follow the basic 30 fuel,
best level 1 skill to get a easy battle and a few level
ups.
Once the battle is over, Bart will ask Fei and Citan to go
on a raid on Bledavik to save Bart's cousin Margie. Once
the scene is over, you will now control the Yggdrasil,
head for Bledavik, it's to the south of you. If you got
some time to burn, you can go around in your gears to
battle, so you can get some easy experience and money.
##################################################
Bledavik
##################################################
Treasure: H&S Badge
Monster:
See above for Dazil (desert)
See above for Lahan (green land)
This is a fun town, whenever you walk around near the
merchants; they will try to sell you stuff, buy it if you
want, you could also sell your Eyeballs, Scales, and Fangs
here, they offer the best price for now. Now your money
should be over 25000Gs, however I recommend you not to
waste a lot of money, you are going to need it later. The
task here is to rescue Margie, so walk around and get some
information. There is an old lady near the town gate, she
will talk to you when you enter, and you could then sleep
in the Inn for 120Gs per person, but don't since there is
no need. Go to the Inn and talk to the owner if you want
to rest, and answer she didn't tell her name to rest
there. There is a sister who is also here to rescue
Margie, talk to her to get some instruction on where to go
and what to do. First go around, remember not to buy any
equipments here, you get better ones very shortly, you
should see a boy asking you for help to find his hiding
friend, say yes to get in the game for a prize. On your
information collecting's way, go to the well in the corner
of the town, and you will see a old man, he will tell you
some information about the little hiding boy, now you can
go find the boy.
The kid is first hiding near the Inn, go past the market
part and you will see a little path between two shops, go
up and he should be hiding right there behind some walls.
The second place he is hiding is near the north gate,
rotate the camera to see him. The third place he is
hiding is at south of the Inn, near some barrows, by now
you should get the key from him if you already talk to the
old man near the water gate. The fourth place he is
hiding is near the restaurant; he is hiding next to the
door, remember to rotate your camera angel to get a better
view. The last time he will be hiding near the north
gate, go west and there should be a little crack at the
end of the wall, just walk in and press X to talk to him.
Note that you won't able to see him at all, talk to him
and he will give up and hand you the H&S Badge.
You can get some cheap things here by hangling with the
merchants, whenever you walk by a merchant, and the
merchant will try to sell you something. You can stand
there and after a few seconds, the merchant will lower his
price, but after a few price decreases, the merchant will
tell you to leave, they have to make a living after all.
After you are done fooling around here, go to South
Bledavik to the south.
The south Bledavik has some fun thing to do, the game tent
isn't open yet so just walk around you could buy different
cakes to increase or decrease your weight, you could also
buy beer, learn fire breathing and find a fortune teller.
None of them affect the outcome of the game, but play
around if you want to. But just go buy the mini gear and
give it to the kid next to the shop, he will then tell you
about the gold nugget in the restaurant, you don't have to
buy the gear, but you just need to know where the gold
nugget is located. Then you should go further south and
leave Bart behind for now. Once you and Citan are in
there, Citan will say something and tell you that you
should just join the tournament, pick whatever name you
want, it won't make any difference. Now go back to South
Bledavik to pick up Bart, then head for the Inn, the
sister will let you rest and get ready for rescuing
Margie.
You have to get the Key from the hiding boy and enter the
tournament before the sister lets you rest.

Aquasol S (x2)
Monster:

Aveh Guard 2, 242, Aquasol
First Fei and Citan will leave for the tournament, just go
there and the scene will switch back to Bart, take Bart to
where the well is (the old man that told you about the
key). Now have him jump in and the scene will switch back
to Fei for his first battle.
Boss#6: Gondalez
HP: 400
Exp: 500
Specialty: Can't take it anymore, counter attack on
deathblow for 80 damage
Treasure: Survival Tent
He is easy, you can waste turns to help Bart, but it
doesn't really matter. Just hit him with your triangle
attack, then cancel it, waits until your 28ap bar fills up
and let him have it. During this fight don't do any
deathblows unless you are sure that one is going to kill
him, every time you attack with a deathblow, he counter
attacks for 80 or so damage. That's his special attack,
"I can't take it anymore", he only use it when hit by a
deathblow, so just charge your AP bar to full and kill him
off with one hit.
After the fight, the scene will switch back to Bart, just
go against the current and you should get by at least half
way before Fei have to fight again.
The second fight is against Big Joe, this is actually
quite fun and this is very easy to waste time.
*Note, the longer the fights lasts, the lesser guards will
be at the castle. So defend and waste time, overall, it
makes little to no differences.
Boss#7: Big Joe
HP: 912
Exp: 1
Specialty: Big Joe's Fan Support, heal for 160, Big Joe's
Fans Attack, people throw things at you for 100 up damage.
Treasure: Metal Vest
Big Joe have some rather sad attacks, he can only deal 2
damage at most, but however, he does have 800 HP and the
crowd heals him quite often. Also the crowd will
sometimes hit you for 100 damage by throwing cans and
bottles at you. Just remember not to attack often, just
charge your AP to full, and then just defend. Big Joe
can't hurt you with his attacks, and the crowd won't
attack unless you attack Big Joe. You could waste at
least 50 turns before killing Big Joe. Keep in mind that
Big Joe has 800 HP, so a 28ap combo is not going to finish
him, just use your best deathblow 2 times than you attack
with your charged combos. Remember to equip the Metal
Vest that Big Joe leaves behind after the fight on Fei,
unless you already got the Iron Mails with Bart.
Bart should able to get to the floodgate at least before
your next fight, pick up the treasures on the way, if you
got the hint on the gold nugget, you can get that, too.
Fei will then fight against Scud, Scud will use pills to
power himself up, or weaken you. Don't worry much about
it, poison can make your battle hard, but just charge your
AP, and use your best combo, don't stall or anything, you
will be wasting your EP for healing, and also waste items
to cure the poison.
Boss#8: Scud
HP: 350
Exp: 500
Specialty: Pills having different effect, from poison,
agility, attack up, recover 200 HP, etc.
Treasure: Samson's Hair
Just charge your AP and then attack. He is easy, but
remember to heal yourself if you are poisoned, and cure
when you are below 100 HP. A 20 or so AP bar is enough to
knock Scud down, don't wasting too much time on this
fight.
Bart then should cross the floodgate and into the castle
by now, don't forget to save before going in.
The castle has a lot of guards around, I recommend you to
learn some of Bart's deathblows in here, the guards are
easy since they have only 90 or so HP, and they can barely
deal any damage to Bart anyway. I recommend you to go to
every single room, some are useless but they have people
you can talk to, and some contains treasure, especially
the room in the second floor balcony with the Cobra
Cracka. On the first floor, they is a room with a guy
writing, don't talk to him, but instead go near the door
and there will be four armor, press X to get the four Iron
Mails, equip them and leave. The one of the room on the
second floor has a Cobra Cracka, this is a must get, so
look around if you haven't gotten it yet. Another room
that look like a kitchen has some Hob-jerky and Hob-meat,
they are hanging from the ceiling, don't forget them, you
get them by jumping up. That is about all you can do
here, keep going until you are in a big room with a big
bed, look around and you'll find the camera, look in the
east tower and find Margie with her back turned. Leave
and head east, you will find Margie there after passing
some stairs. There is another room with a Rosesol, it's
somewhere in the first or second floor, it's not that
important and I just forgot where it is. Sorry about
that.
Scene Switch is happening during Bart running around in
the castle, the time is quite random, so I can't really
say anything about it.
Fei will then get into two meaningless fights, one is with
Dan, just defend at all times, Inner Healing when HP get
below 100. Dan will use attacks named after the people of
Lahan, he will do attacks like, "this is for my sister",
then "this is for all of Lahan", after awhile, he will use
his best attack, "You Scum", that will deal around 90
damage. After all that, he will leave and give you
Alice's Wedding Dress, amazingly men can equip the Wedding
Dress (it is best not to think what will they look like in
a Wedding Dress, it's really sick).
Boss #9: Dan
HP: 450
Exp: 500
Specialty: You Scum, fireball attack for 90 damage.
Treasure: Wedding Dress
When you fight Dan at the tournament, never ever hit him.
All you have to do is defense, and maybe Inner Healing
sometimes. After a few rounds, Dan will do his You Scum
(Ryu Fireball) attack, it deals around 90 or so damage.
Just heal and in 1 or 2 rounds, Dan will say something and
then he will give you Alice's Wedding Dress and leave.
Remember to equip the Iron Mails after the battle.
The next fight is against Wiseman.
Boss#10: Wiseman
HP: 9999
Exp: 0
Specialty: none
Treasure: none
You can't win this battle, don't even try, you will always
miss, the only way to get a hit on Wiseman is to charge
your ap to around 20, then do your combo, hopefully one of
them will connect. And here is a nice fun tip for you,
Wiseman is really Fei's dad, how can a son beat up his old
man.
Wiseman just stands there while Fei tries again and again
to hit him (it's rather sad when you think about it).
After around 5 turns, Wiseman will say some things and he
will leave. Fei is now the Champion, and he gets booed
and cheered by the angry crowd, at least the crowd didn't
throw anything at him this time.
The Scene then switches to Bart for the final time, and
won't switch back to Fei anymore after the battle with
Wiseman.
Bart will meet up with Margie, they are about the leave
the room and Margie will pick up her stuff animal or doll.
When you get outside, Ramsus and Miang will come out and
fight against Bart and Margie.
Boss#11: Ramsus & Miang
HP: 400
Exp: 0
Specialty: Mirror Stance, Heal 40, Remove status
Treasure: none
Ramsus and Miang, you will see their faces again and again
and again. I counted, you have to fight Ramsus total of 7
times, and Miang 5 times, they gets stronger every single
time. This is the first time, Ramsus' regular attack do
around 50 or so damage to Bart, and Miang just stand there
and heal him. And the bad thing is you can't attack
Miang. Remember to equip Bart's Cobra Cracka, it poisons
Ramsus, and Miang will have to waste her turn removing
that. After awhile, Ramsus will do Mirror Stance, and if
he is in the stance and you attack him, he will counter
attack for 170 plus damage, so don't attack him. And if
he is in the stance attack him with your Heaven Cent, but
Miang keeps healing him, you just have to wait until
Ramsus attack you again. You can just charge you're AP
and kill Ramsus in one shot when he gets out the stance,
don't charge when he in the stance, he still counters.
When Ramsus is in the stance, all hits from you will miss
other than ether attacks, so just defend when Ramsus is in
his stance.
Cobra Cracka is great since Miang will have to waste her
turns removing the poison rather then healing. Margie is
similar, she can heal up to 40, but mostly she misses her
heal or heals only 20, meaning don't rely on Margie to
heal, use a Aquasol when you need it. Just charge your AP
bar and a 20 plus bar can knock off Ramsus.
Boss#12: Ramsus & Miang
HP: 800
Exp: 0
Specialty: Mirror Stance, Heal 100, Remove Status
Treasure: none
Same thing all over again, except this time Fei is there
fighting along side Bart, Ramsus have now 800 HP instead
of his 400, Miang can heal for 100 now, but overall, this
is much easier since now it is 2 against 1. Charge your
AP bar like last fight, around 40 AP should kill off
Ramsus. The party will then flee and meet Elly on the
way, Elly helps everyone escape and you will be back in
the Yggdrasil. Cobra Crack is still useful here, since
the posion will force Miang to waste her turns again.
##################################################
Nisan
##################################################
Treasure:
Ether Veiler
Monster:
See above for Lahan grassland
The way to the bridge is blocked by the stuff animal
Margie brought along, go talk to Margie and she will tell
you that the stuff animal is really Chu-Chu, a living
breathing animal. Chu-Chu will then enter the room and
tell Fei that she loves him, if you got the Spider in
Lahan Mountain, you can trade her for a Ether Veiler.
Then go to the bridge, Siguard will tell you where to go,
follow his instructions and you will be at Nisan. Enter
Nisan and take Margie to the church and Margie will then
show you some art stuff upstairs of Sophia, Sophia is the
founder of the Nisan sect. Fei will than have a brief
scene of the looks of Sophia, and how she looks just like
Elly. After the scenes, you can follow Margie around for
different scenes, after the long scenes go back to the
town and Maison will tell you to go to the inside one of
the house. Do so and Siguard will tell Bart it is time to
strike and retake Aveh, everyone will listen and form a
strategy. Afterwards save the game then tell Siguard you
are ready. Before you leave, check your money, you should
have around 28000Gs by now. If not sell off your extra
things like the Gold Nuggets and Elly's Pilot Uniform, go
to the store and buy a Life Stone and a Holy Pendent, if
you have enough money left over buy a Magnetic Coat for
your gear if you want. The Holy Pendent is only found
here in Nisan, but however it won't be here later when you
get your flying Yggdrasil, so you can either get it now,
or you can't get it at all later on, that also go for
Ether Doubler. If you are short on money, just go outside
and fight for some money in your gears.
The Holy Pendent is a good piece of equipment, later Billy
will come with one, and unless you buy another here, you
can only get one in the entire game. The Life Stone
however, can be retained later on in Battling in Kislev,
but the heavy price of 50,000 BP isn't cheap, and it will
take you a long time to get it. Ether Doubler is found on
Disk 2 in treasure chest, and that is the only one unless
you buy more here.

Extra Ar+2,
Rosesol S
Monster:
Edelweiss, 880, Fang
Medusoid, 689
May Fly, 1410, Extra Ar+1
Nomad Repair Bot, 420
Fei will then be all by himself now, keep going up, ignore
the red gears, stop by to get the treasure on the way, the
Magnetic Coat is a must get, cause later it can't be found
anywhere. Get all the treasures here, since this is your
only chance to stay here. The cave is to the Northwest,
go inside the cave and just climb up, eventually you will
be at a Fix Bot, refuel, shop and upgrade, save to get
ready for a serious of fights. A new gear engine, new
gear frame is pretty useful if you can afford them, I hope
you do, otherwise your futures will be tough. I would
recommend you to level up to level 30, since the fights
are easy and the enemies can't really deal any damage to
you, most enemies give out around 1500 experience per
fight, so fight and level up before you go on. Before you
exit the cave, equip a Beam Coat to make your life easier
in next few fights.
First you fight two Wand Knights, these gun people are
taking you on again, they are very easy but they are only
here to waste your fuel and HP for upcoming battles.
Forget about booster, just use two 10 fuel and two level
one attacks to finish these to off, their Beam Attack can
deal around 300 damage, but you got a Beam Coat to reduce
half of the damage.
Next you take on a Sword Knight, Claw Knight, and an Aegis
Knight, they are also easy but they are making your next
battle very tough. Turn on booster and kill off the Sword
Knight first, it is the purple one, it deals the most
damage, one 30 fuel and a level one attack should finish
him, if not, add in another 30 fuel attack. Then take out
the Claw Knight with the same method, save the Aegis
Knight for last since it don't attack that much, all it do
is reduce your armor.
After you kill off the Gebler forces, you will fight a
crazy Elly, she is using drives and she is serious about
killing Fei. Vierge has some powerful attacks, but since
it don't use booster and has below average defense, the
battle shouldn't be too hard. Turn on booster and use
your 30 fuel and level skills to finish off Vierge, the
battle pauses from time to time for scenes about Elly's
past.
Boss#13: Vierge (Elly)
HP: 2400
Exp: 11406
Specialty: Aerods, Ether attack
Treasure: none
You have fight Elly this time, because Elly is nuts on
drives. Her Areods do 400 damage, but don't worry, hang
in there and you will win, just do your 30 fuel attack and
level one skill, you probably took a beating from the
previous battles, but don't worry, Elly is weak and the
fight stops from time to time for scenes. The scenes will
be more clear to you later on, near the end of disk one.
Booster is a must, this will be Weltell's last fight, you
will able to heal Weltell after this fight.
After you win, you will then be back in the cave where the
Fix Bot is at, refuel and climb up until you reach a
bright yellow spot, walk up to it and press X, the scene
will shift to Bart and Citan. There will be a scene now
on Bart and Siguard.
Bart and Siguard will try to retake Aveh Castle, but
Shahken is ready for them, so they were ambushed by the
guards there. But Maison rescued them using the Land
Crab, and they returned to Yggdrasil, eventually.
Then Yggdrasil is attacked by the Gebler forces lead by
Ramsus, and Ramsus is beating the hell out of the Sand
Cruiser. Ramsus seems to know Citan and Siguard, you will
know about them and their past later on.
The scene will then eventually come back to Fei, Fei jumps
down to attack, you get to control him when he lands. Now
just keep going straight. You have to dodge the mines (-
15HP) and cannons from the ships (-1HP). After crossing
two screens you will take on the famous Kefeinzel Gun.
Boss#14: Kefeinzel Gun
HP: 1800
Exp: 700
Specialty: Firing Kefeinzel Gun, 400 damage
Treasure: Gold Nugget
Kefeninzel Gun is probably the easiest boss in the game
(also probably the stupidest, it takes 7 turns to fire,
and during the turns it does some funny things, like clear
the dock, readying Kefeinzel Gun, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, and
finally fire). Don't turn on booster, just ignore the
little guns and attack with your 30 fuel and Reppu on the
big gun. You should able to finish him before the count
goes to 0, even if it did fire, don't worry, it only deals
around 400 damage anyway. I waited for the Gun to fire, I
was expecting 1000 plus damage, but I got totally
disappointed at the cheap yet really famous Cannon. If
you don't feel safe enough about taking the 400 damage,
turn on booster and that should ensure an easy victory.
You have now knocked out the all famous Kefeninzel Gun,
but there is more, now you have to fight Dora after a lot
of scenes with Dora coming out of the beaten fleet.
Boss#14: Dora
HP: 3000
Exp: 13393
Specialty: "I kill you", counter attack, for 300 damage
with every soldier in his claw.
Treasure: Extra Ar+3
Dora is much harder compared to Kefeninzel Gun, and those
of you who are low on fuel and HP will have a lot of
trouble with him. Dora have a head gear, and when it is
on, the two red gears can't deal any damage to it, just
keep attack with your 10 fuel first, after about 8 hits,
the head gear will blow and the red gears can now deal
damage. Fei should turn on booster now and keep attack
Dora, also Dora's attack is quite weak if you have Beam
Coat equipped. Don't attack Dora when it has soldiers in
it's claws, it can counter for big damage and you can't
heal your gears yet. The two red gears will help you
abosrb some damage and deal some decent damage, just
remember to use their 30 fuel attack, rather than 20 or 10
fuels.
After Dora goes down, Grahf will come and give him power,
you will see Grahf's speech about do you want the power
for almost every human boss you fight from now on, it gets
really annoying. Dora will then kill the two red gears
and Fei goes nuts again like he did in Lahan, destroying
everything near him. A bright flash blinds the screen and
the scene switches.
The scene is now at Bart, Yggdrasil is under attack by
Ramsus, Bart surface the ship and is confronted by a red
gear. Ramsus gets really mad at the red gear for some
reasons and attacks it, but he failed pitifully, got
killed in a single hit. The red gear then turn to Bart,
(the red gear is really Weltell, the pilot is Fei) Bart is
facing the impossible task of taking her on.
Boss#15: Id (red Weltell)
HP: 99999
Exp: 0
Specialty: "Kishin X", 19998 damage
Treasure: none
You can't win this fight no matter what, because the red
gear can kill you with its looks alone. It has unlimted
HP, it got Kishin X dealing 19998 damage to Bart, and it
is really Xenogears (the strongest gear in the game, since
the game name is Xenogears) in red. You will get it at
the end of the game in white color. Don't bother trying,
by the third turn, he will kill you.
You will have a chance to save after Id destroys the ship
and as Citan flees to safety. It's funny when Id says
dropping a warship on me is cheating, take it back, and
she throws Yggdrasil at Bart. Everything seems lost now,
let's continue on with the story.
##################################################
Nortune D Block, Kislev
##################################################
Treasures: Dog Food
Fei will wake up in prison, talk about luck, one little
snooze and he's in the slammer. He just recover but he
still have to go through some tough fights ahead, you will
first be taken to the champ's room, after some talk with
the champ Rico you will be taken outside for your fights.
Rico is pretty cool, he is rude and strong, and he got
some pretty rude things to say later (everything I look
for in a game in is bad language).
Remember that how you fight will actually have some impact
in the future, the better you do the more freedom and
privilege will be given to you, it's just a real life
prison. So fight well, you get a good treasure later if
you win all the fights that you can. Don't forget to save
before you go mindlessly into battle with these people.
They aren't weak, since they can seriously hurt you if
they want to!
Your future rank depends on how times you win, each battle
counts so get ready and start off on Leonardo.
Boss#16: Leonardo
HP: 500
Exp: 300
Specialty: none
Treasure: none
Your first fight is against Leonardo, he is quite easy,
his 500 HP should go down in 4 turns with your Hoten. Use
your Inner Healing if your HP gets low, I doubt you will
have to use Inner Healing this battle.
Boss#17: Heinrich
HP: 500
Exp: 300
Specialty: Power Bomb, 50 damage throw
Treasure: none
The second fight is against Heinrich, he is just like
Leonardo, except he deal 25 damage instead of 20. Don't
waste too much time or effort on him, your Hoten should do
well over 170 damage to him, so finish him off and get
ready for the next fight. Heal whenever you feel you need
to, Heinrich's Power Bomb is quite rare, his regular
attack shouldn't be a problem at all, so just finish him
off fast.
Boss#18: Vargas
HP: 500
Exp: 300
Specialty: counter attack
Treasure: none
The third fight is with Vargas, he is easy as the Vargas
in FF3 (one hit from Sabin killed Vargas in that game).
So this fight is another easy one, first thing to remember
that everytime you attack Vargas, he will counter attack
depending on how you attacked him. For example you use
Raijin, he will counter for two hits, one weak and one
strong. If you hit him with a Hoten, then he will counter
for four hits, three weak, and one strong. So just attack
once with your triangle and then cancel, charge your AP
bar and let Vargas have it, he should die with a 20 AP
combo, so don't waste to much time charging. And before
you do the combo, use Inner Healing until you have full
HP, use all the EP you want right now, this is your only
chance. The next fight will take away all your EP, so
don't bother saving them up.
Boss#19: Surzan
HP: 800
Exp: 500
Specialty: Sickle, lose half HP, or lose all EP
Treasure: Metal Jacket
The fourth fight is against Surzan, she will drain all of
your EP at the start of the game, and then she will keep
cutting your HP in half, or she attacks with her 2 damage
slice. Just keep your HP above 3, if it ever get that low
use your Aquasol, don't worry about the next battle, but
you should win this fight, if you don't you don't get the
Metal Jacket and you lose the best rank you could get,
rank s. Surzan's attack is better in theory than in real
life, since Fei should have at least 200 HP going into the
fight, which means it will take Surzan a total of 9 turns
to kill Fei adding the turn she needs to drain Fei's EP.
That should leave you more than enough time to kill her.
Boss#20: Rico
HP: 9999
Exp: 0
Specialty: Steel Body, defense up, Steel Fist, attack up
Treasure: none
You can't win this fight, Rico will do Steel Fist and
Steel Body and unleash a 1200 damage combo on you. The
bad thing is when Rico joins you, he deals lesser damage,
I wonder why?
Fei will wake up again later in pain back at the D-block,
just rest and save.
Don't worry much, just walk around when you wake up the
next day, talk to people, when you finish go to the bar at
the end of the town. When you get there, you will be
greeted by Hammar, just talk to him, you don't get to make
any choice about what you going to do, so after the long
scenes, leave the bar, and head toward the exit. A guard
will stop you and tell you about the battling committee,
go back to the bar and you will meet them. After some
more long boring scenes, go back to where you waked up,
and Hammar will catch up with you. Hammar will then talk
about the new doctor, and guess who the new doctor is?
It's Citan.
After the talk, Citan will offer to remove your collar,
the game forces you to keep it on, it doesn't matter what
choice you make. Hammar will then tell you more about the
battling committee, and how to get rid of the collar,
enter the battles. (There really isn't not much choice
here, so just pick whatever.)
Anyway, you can go up the roof and you will see a dog,
talk to the dog, then talk to the guy further down, he
will sell you some Dog Food, which you can give to the
dog. However, you can keep the Dog Food and not feed the
dog if you want to. This doesn't seem to have impact on
the game.
Get some rest and you will be off to battles for the first
time.
##################################################
Nortune C Block, Battling Committee
##################################################
The battling arena is right next to the D Block, get in
and Rohoe will greet you and tell you about the battling
and your gear. Hammar is also there to sell gear stuff,
but you can't buy anything from him yet. You will tell
her that you don't have a gear, but she will provide you
with Weltell.
The first battle is against Ganador, you can't win this
battle. About a few seconds into the battle, Vargas will
blow Weltell by overheating it, and you will black out.
##################################################
D Block
##################################################
You will wake up back in D Block, Citan will tell you what
happen to your gear, and let you rest. Fei goes back to
sleep, and nothing happens.
##################################################
C Block
##################################################
Fei will wake up, you will enter the battles again, this
time buy some new thing from Hammar, and equip the Extra
Ar+3 you got from Dora, this won't really affect you do in
battling, but it won't hurt you. You could also practice
in practice mode to help you get better, but I serious
doubt that you will lost against any of the fights here,
until you fight Rico much later on.
Tin Robo
He is quiet slow, his combo has long slow recoveries, take
advantage of that, wait until he do a combo and rush in to
knock him off his feet. The prize money changes depending
you will you did in the battle, if you win perfect, you
get more money, if you win barely, you get lesser money.
Don't worry if you lost the fight, you just have to fight
that battle over again until you wins.
After you win against Tin Robo, go on ahead to the next
fight.
Titan
He is just like Tin Robo, just beat him with your Ether
Bullets. Ether Bullets cause a lot of damage, and cpu
almost never blocks them, just run around shot them, don't
over heat yourself. If you over heat yourself, you will
start to lose HP, so just walk around to cool down.
This is the last battle for today, go back to D Block and
rest. You win then see a scene with Vargas and Leonardo,
and guess who did it? This is a pretty cool scene,
however you will have to fight the monster later on. I
would say they deserve it for overheating your Weltell.
##################################################
D Block
##################################################
Rico will come see about the recent murders that has been
going on in the sewer, he will tell you about it and you
and Citan will join him to investigate. Buy some
equipment from Hammar, and remember to upgrade Rico's gear
equipment from Hammar in C Block. Equip a Speed Ring on
Rico, he is quiet slow and hopefully that will make a
difference in the battles ahead.
##################################################
Underground Sewer

Treasure:
Cool Shades,
Knight Helm,
Bell Amulet,
Ether Veiler,
Sewer Map,
Rosesol S,

The creatures here is the sewer is the perfect place for
leveling up, the boss here is very difficult, and you
can't use your gears. (If you are like me, who don't
spend time leveling up until the end of the game, you
should try to get some decent level up in here, or at
least some new deathblows before moving ahead). The boss
in this dungeon is very hard, possible to be one of the
hardest boss in the game. Your Citan never really got a
chance to level up, Rico just joined you, Fei is really
your only good fighter right now. But here are some
important things, Citan is better than Fei right now, even
though he is at lower level, his HP is a lot more higher
than Fei, almost 100 more. Don't worry much about Rico,
this is the only place where you have to use him, just
level him up a little, don't worry about the deathblow
either, Rico's Firebomb heals the boss. Citan learns a
lot more faster than Fei, it only take a few fights for
him to learn his deathblows, and since he is very fast, he
will probably finish learning everything he right now in
this dungeon. Fei on the other hand is just you hardest
hitter, equip him with Rico's Power Ring S to boost him
attack even more, (Fei will be doing most of the damage
right now.)
This dungeon is not that hard, there are a lot of items,
so look around and explore a little, you get a map early
and you will know where you are going. Fight in this
dungeon, don't run away unless you are dieing, use Citan
and Fei to heal, you need everyone to contribute to win
against the boss. Even the slow, near blind Rico who
always miss, you should notice how Rico misses all his X
attack, and 60% of his S attacks, he is almost pitiful in
character. I never liked Rico, he is very slow, and he
misses a lot, I rather use Bart or Elly, they even look
better than Rico. Rico is still important, he gets better
later on, but I still don't use him that much.
Anyway, you can just walk around the place, the sewer has
three different separate maps, get to know the ways around
the place. The running pipes will deal you 3 damage if
you run into the water, so jump over the pipe, the rotor
will deal 5 damage to you so try to avoid getting hit in
the sewer. Redrum will appear here and there during every
murder spot you see, but you can't fight him yet. And
whenever you see a piece of the floor and has mushy color,
walk there for a scene, Rico will tell you something about
the murder, none of it is really important. When you are
going through the sewer pick up the map first, its near
Redrum where he is hiding after you first come down.
There are treasures here and there, don't worry if you
didn't get any of them. None of the treasures are really
important. Rico will tell you about the sewer once you
get in, and you will later see a green frog guy, he will
tell you about the place and give you some hints. He
gives you the hint about the broken rat sweeper, follow
the hint to the broken machine and check it, you will find
the key. Then go to the door to the north, Redrum is
inside but you can't fight him yet. After you get in, get
the Bell Amulet, and the Ether Veiler further up the
pipes. Equip the Ether Veiler if you want. Then Citan
will have the idea of getting the monster to come to you,
as he explains about how murders always come back to the
scene of the crime. Then you have to find a pipe with
slime all over it, but there isn't a murder near that
place. It is to the north-east of the place, go there and
ring the bell next to the pipe. Redrum comes out and
fight you. Remember to heal before going to the pipe,
Redrum isn't some pushover and you will need all the HP
you can get.
Boss#21: Redrum (Murder backward)
HP: 4242
Exp: 52425
Specialty: Murder, kill one character and drain max HP,
Blood Rain, fire attack on all, heal Redrum for 100 HP,
Gel, confuse and poison two of your character.
Treasure: none
Redrum is possible to be the hardest boss in Disk one, his
Murder attack kills one of your character and drain all of
his max HP, his fire attack do around 30-100 damage to all
of your character and heal him for 100. And for Rico your
best deathblow is probably Fire Bomb, but it heals him, so
you can only do your weaker deathblows on him. Before
this fight, level up to 33 at least, higher the better,
and equip your best things on Fei, Fei will be doing most
of the damage in this fight. When the fight start, cast
Citan's Renki, then next turn cast Suiikei, that way it
protects you against Redrum's Bloody Rain, then just
charge your ap, and unleash it all, hopefully you can kill
Redrum before Murder and Bloody Rain heals him. And also
remember to buy a lot Zetosol back in D Block from Hammar,
and revive who ever gets murdered. Don't charge your ap
for Rico he is too slow to charge, just have him attack
with his best deathblow, other than Fire Bomb. Have Citan
cast Renki and use that to heal faster, but if you think
you can do without it and just use both Citan and Fei to
heal, go right ahead, but just remember to revive anyone
who dies. This is a hard fight, it might take you a few
tries, so don't forget to save ahead of time.
After the long hard battle, Rico will then leave your
team. So before the battle begins, and check his gear
equipments. There is only one more chance in the future
before another boss battle. Don't take Rico's Frame HP50,
he is going to need it, if you could, give Rico a Beam
Coat, but if you only got one than keep it on your Weltell
instead.
Rico is hurt from battle, but he ignores Fei and leaves
the sewer. Citan gave Redrum some kind of burial and then
he and Fei both leave the sewer.
Go outside and rest. Get ready to battle against Rico
soon in the Battle Arena.
##################################################
C Block
##################################################
After you wake up, head for the Battle Arena.
Hatamoto
Hatamoto will be your next battle, and he isn't too hard.
Just run around shoot your Ether Bullets until he dies.
If he do his combo, block and counter against him.
Firewheel
Firewheel is similar to Hatamoto, it got just a better
speed. Just run up do a combo, cancel and do the combo
again. Or you can just use your Ether Bullets to finish
him off, none of these fights are hard.
Silver Star
Sliver Star is the third and last battle you will have to
fight, he is very defensive so use your Ether Bullets to
take him out, even if he blocks he still takes a bit of
damage. If you know how to do it, use the combo cancel
combo cancel repeat to win.
After you finish with the battles, go back to D Block to
rest up for tomorrow.
##################################################
D Block
##################################################
You just rest and wait for the battle against Rico
tomorrow. You are almost done here in the slammer here.
Just catch some shut eyes for now.
##################################################
C Block
##################################################
After you wakes up, head for C Block and battle the champ.
Stier (Rico)
Stier is the hardest gear to beat, he didn't give me that
much trouble, but he can really kill. Stier is very
strong, have a beyond evil combo and can easily kill you.
I just run up do 2 hits from my combo, cancel and do the
combo again. Stier blocked most of my hits, but he ended
up getting cheesed. I would suggest to those who find the
battle hard to practice a bit, or learn how to do the
combo cancel repeat to win.
If you win (which you must if you plan to beating the
game), you will see long boring scenes with a lot of
people. Your collar will be removed, now you can roam
around freely in Kislev. Kasier Sigmund wants to see you,
but first you will get your own champ room. Rico is no
where to be found, so Fei gets his room.
##################################################
A Block
##################################################
Treasure: Insulated AR, Power Magic, Knight Mail, Momento
Ring
A Block is the pink building in the middle of the town
map. Now you can wonder around the whole city, go the B
Block if you want, there isn't much there. When you leave
the Inn, a lady will tell you that Hammar is waiting for
you at the Wild Cats Bar. Go to B Block, right next the
Bar is Big Joe, he will tell you to give him 5000Gs to see
something. (it's a giant rip off!!!) Give him the money
and he will run away. Come back later after getting Elly,
Big Joe will give you the M Disk for the 5000Gs you have
paid in advance.
Anyways, go to A Block, the guards will let you in. Rico
is right behind you after you go in. First go to the
right hand side. There is a guy with his puppy, and a
door next to him. Go inside the door and you will see a
lot of chicken running around, the door down the hall
contains the Insulated Ar. Go all the way down in that
room, rotate the camera angel and you will see another
treasure box. Go back near the door and there is a switch
next to a guy, the switch operates the crane. Turn on the
switch and move the crane right and left, avoid contact
until the wall blocking your treasure box. Use the crane
as a stepping stone and get your Power Magic that's
blocked away by the boxes. If you mess up the crane, just
exit the room and enter again. The guy will reset the
crane only after you have left the room.
After all that exploring, go back and enter the elevator,
it will take you up to Kaiser Sigmund. The Kaiser's room
is to the left and when you get in, the scene will switch
to Rico. Rico fall down the vent, he have to run away.
He went in to the Kaiser's bedroom, and there will be some
scene about Rico's past as he enters. You will regain
control after the scenes, go to the mirror and check for a
Momento Ring. And when you try to exit Fei and Citan will
enter the room. The three of you will then exit the room,
but Rico gets taken away by guards. During the
conversation you will know that Rico is really the
Kaiser's son or have similar DNA which happens around once
in every pair of 200,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 people,
in another word, yes, Rico is the Kaiser's son.
Someone emailed me about a mini game in the Kaiser's room,
involving the piano or the pipe thing, or something about
the clock, I haven't check it yet, if you are near that
part of the game, check it out to find out what it might
be about. You are suppose to get prizes from playing the
mini game, I have no idea on what you can get or anything
about it for that matter.
Fei will then leave A Block, go to B Block and you will
meet Hammar, he will tell you about Weltell and Rico.
Then go back to D Block, two battlers and an amazon will
talk to you about rescuing Rico. One of them will give
2000Gs when he leaves your room. Hammar will tell you
about the supply train and how to get back your Weltell.
You will try to escape later that night.

Gear Dock Raid

Survial Tent,

Monsters:
Swordman, 140, Rosesol, Aquasol

Hob-Gob, see above
Batrat, see above
Fei and Citan will get some rest, save and exit the
building. Go up the stairs near where you go down the
sewer, head back toward the Inn and go up the watchtower.
Wait for the train to arrive and jump as you see the
train. If you mess up, then you have to start all over
again from when you first woke up back in the Inn.
The train gets detaches soon after Fei and Citan gets on.
Jump forward to get to the next part of the train. That
part get detached too, jump forward again to safety. The
train finally arrives at the Gear Dock, the party jumps
off and get into the Dock. This might seem too good to be
true, any one who jumped off a running train will have to
suffer some kind of injury, but both Citan and Fei don't
even have a scratch.
When you get into the dungeon you are really actually near
the end, except the door is locked and you have to look
for the key.
This room has two doors and an air duct, but both doors
are locked so use the air duct. Climb up and wonder
around. Go up and follow the passage, ignore the first
intersection, but at the second one, head south and go
into that air duct.
The room is similar to the first room you where in, but
there is a long gap between the boxes. Jump over the gap
and go inside that air duct. You will be back in the
passage again, and some intersection leads to holes on the
ground where you can see below. One of the holes let you
see Weltell getting transferred to another dock, the other
holes doesn't show you much of anything.
Follow the passage and you will be at a door, when you try
to enter a scene will trigger with some guards. After the
scene the guards will leave and you can enter the room.
The guard left the key in the cabinet. You should know
what to do, get the key and Citan will tell you to get the
Frame HP30 that is also in the cabinet. Now you can heal
your gears using that gear part.
*Note, Frame HP30 is possibly the best Frame HP you can
get. Frame HP 90 and Frame HP70 is just a waste of fuel,
Frame HP50 is okay, but Frame HP30 is more than enough.
Frame HP10 is useless, it only heal for a few hundred
right now for you, so it's useless. Also when you still
got Rico back in the sewer, you can check out his gear and
take off the Frame HP50 he got equipped for his Stier, but
I suggest you leave it on him and if you got a extra Beam
Coat, put it on his gear, too.
Go on ahead to the next room, this room will have two
chairs. Check between the chairs for a Mini Gear, and you
now have to fight 4 Sword Guards for the Mini Gear. They
are just regular enemies, and a few deathblows can finish
them off. You don't have to fight them, but the fight
reward you with the Evasion Ring so be sure to fight here.
Before the fight, one guard will come back to get his Mini
Gear, and he will say a bunch of funny words about his
Mini Gear. It's really funny so don't forget to read it.
That part is quite long, but it is one of the funniest
things I've ever heard.
The next room has a bunch of panels, check them, and one
of them will give you 100Gs. Keep going once you got the
money.
And now you should be in a hallway, the two rooms down the
hall are the two you already visited. Save if you want,
you get another chance later. Go down the stairs and pick
up the Survival Tent next to the stairs at the end. Go
down and you will be in a roomful of gears. Go to the
middle part where a few gears are just standing, push the
panel next to it to get Weltell. There are three
different panels, sometimes it takes awhile for Weltell to
appear. Get in Weltell and go to the green bot in the
corner, refuel and upgrade if you want to, but I suggest
you do. Save and go to the other side of the panels, step
into any of the elevator type things and you will transfer
out of there. Don't forget to equip a Beam Coat, you will
need it. Also equip your Frame HP30 for future battles,
keep this Frame HP on Weltell.
The scene switch to Rico, he is battling against a gear
sized Rankar R, with his bare fist. Weltell come to his
rescue.
Boss#22: Rankar Dragon R
HP: 800
Exp: 946
Specialty: Tail Sweep, Slow
Treasure: Scale
Just use 30 fuel and level one attack, you win after 2
turns, but remember not to use booster, you just waste
fuel and time. The Rankar is just like before, he dies
and the Gelbers attacks Kislev.
Fei will get into some easy battles with some old friends.
Aegis Knight R will be your first battle, and he is easy
as before. He got the same old moves, the same weird
looking gear, and you should scrap him in a few turns.
The second battle is against Sword Knight R, kill him fast
because he deals a lot of damage and you don't want to use
your Frame HP just yet. Turn on booster to speed things
up, 30 fuel and level attack should kill him in a few
turns.
Then you fight Claw Knight R, and he is just like before,
again. This time he got a new attack that deals around
300 damage, but you should again scrap him before he can
abuse it. He leaves behind a Beam Coat, equip it later
when you have the chance, unless you already have it for
both Weltell and Stier.
Now Rico joins the battle against two Wand Knight R, their
Beam attack deals some good damage. It would be a hard
fight alone, but Rico is also in the battle, now you find
out even though Rico is rather sad in character, however
his gear is really strong. His 30 fuel attacks deals 3
times more damage than Fei.
Anyway, after 4 long easy pointless battles, you now fight
Elly again. Correction here, since there is now 5 long
pointless battles.
She just stands there and talks with you. Long scenes
during this no hitting friendly battle.
After the battle with Elly you will be given a chance to
save. Do so and equip the Beam Coat unless you already
have one equipped for both Weltell and Stier.
Get ready to take on Dominia, like Ramsus you will see her
a lot from now on. Even though she got a women's name,
she acts a bit like a man, she also looks like a man.
Boss#23: Hecht (Dominia)
HP: 7500
Exp: 48106
Specialty: Areods, counter on attack, Super Areods, 2000
damage beam attack
Treasure: HP Drive
This can be hard, but remember to equip Rico and Weltell
with your Beam Coats, and just turn on booster and use
your best level one skill, and if she throws out a Super
Areods, just ignore it and stay with Dominia, Super Areods
only do around 2000 damage anyway. This is should only
take around 12 turns, if longer, you are going to run out
of fuel. You won't even need to heal unless you took a
beating from the battles before. Weltell is weak against
Hecht, but Stier deals some really high damages to it.
Rico's level 1 skill can deal around 1500 damage. Hecht
should be toasted in a few turns with boosters on.
*Note, always use the Drives when you get it. There is no
point in saving them up, and you can always buy them later
from Big Joe if you want to keep it for fun. Don't use
any Drives on Elly, since she later leaves you. (Yep, she
leaves everyone and she shots Fei, but she will come back
later, but the game ends at the same time.)

Everyone will be in B Block after the long scenes are
over. Hammar will be there and tell you some useless
info.
When you leave B Block Rico will join you, he beat up some
guards and now you leave B Block together.
When you are at the city map, you will see that some parts
of the town are blocked by guards, and you will see Big
Joe near B Block entrance. Talk to him and he will tell
you that he is sorry to take your money and give you the
hint about where to get a secret item. Go back into B
Block, head where he took your money (near the Wild Cat
Bar). In that ally where he told you to look, go all the
way off screen and press X, you will get the M Disk. Get
it now, or it won't be there. This is the only way to get
it, if you don't get it now, you have to battle for it
later. And I tell you the battles are hard and long,
(took me almost 1 hour to get enough BPs to get the M
Disk) so for 5000Gs it's well worth it.
Now you can listen to the M Disk in the Wild Cat Bar. The
juke box is near the counter.
First head toward the forest, and get out of your gears to
get past the forest part. The enemies in the forest part
can actually wipe out your entire party unless you run
away or you are at high levels. The enemies in there
deals a lot of damage but leaves very little experience
and Gs. Don't fight in the forest unless you have to,
fight on the grassland instead, the fights are easy since
you can use your gears.
When you first enter the factory, you will see Hammar. He
will let you buy stuff and change your party. Take Rico
along since he has a much stronger gear than Elly or
Citan. Purchase anything you want, but don't waste too
much money.
Then keep on going, in pick up the treasure on the way.
The Gold Nugget is kind of hidden since you can't rotate
your camera angle, it's in one of those pipe like things
where the enemy gear can pop out. There will be some
enemies on the way, and once awhile you will encounter an
enemy gear with 4 mechanics. Kill off the gear and let
the mechanics hit you. Every once awhile they will heal
your gear, you can just charge fuel while waiting. If you
get hit by them that no big deal, since they only deal 1
damage only. Save on the way if you want to.
The enemies aren't too hard, so don't waste too much time
on them. Keep going and than you will be at a sliding
thing that takes you to another room. The sliding thing
on the other end is going the wrong direction so you have
to get off the slide and punch some switches. There is a
treasure chest with an Extra Ar+3 at the back wall, you
will have to get out off your gears to access it. There
are two switches, one of them drop a treasure down, I
think the treasure is random (the first time I got a Mica,
next time I got a Extra Ar+2, then I got a Gold Nugget, so
I don't know what you going to get). The other switch
changes the direction of the slide. Get on the slide and
it will take you to another room. Get the O2 Cylinder
near the opposite wall and head for the boss fight. Save
if you want in the next room, but the boss isn't really
that hard.
The Goliath is open, right before you get in the boss
comes out and you fight him.
Boss#24: Fis-6
HP: 6800
Exp: 67284
Specialty: Shift Up, increase Fis-6's abilities
Treasure: Ground
This fight isn't that hard, just turn on booster, use 30
fuel and level one skill to kill him, the fight shouldn't
take too long, and don't forget to upgrade your gear when
you see Hammar when the dungeon starts. Fis-6 use Shift
Up after taking certain amount of damage, just ignore the
ability, and keep hitting him, he dies fast. After awhile
there will be mechanics out to repair Fis-6, ignore them
and keep hitting Fis-6 since the mechanics won't heal that
much, or you can take out the mechanics with a 10 fuel
attacks each then focus on Fis-6, it's totally up to you.
The fight is very easy for you if you turn on your booster
early and bring Rico along.
After the fight you will all board the Goliath, it's a
pretty big air plane.
There will be some scenes with all your party members and
you have to talk to everyone than talk to Citan to fly the
plane. As the plane lift off, you see Grahf. A fight
breaks out with Fei, Elly, Rico against Grahf without his
gear.
Your three ultra strong gears can't take Grahf without his
gear. Grahf is pretty strong, but he is destined to lose
since he doesn't hit Elly, just turn on booster and hit
him with 30 fuel attacks. No matter how the battle ends,
Goliath will just fly away, a funny scene where Hammar has
to fire a machine gun at Grahf but Hammar is too scared.
Some more boring scenes follows after that, just watch
them if you want to.
Boom, Goliath gets blow up by Bart and his Bart Missiles
(corny name). Everyone except Fei and Elly is rescued!
Then the scene switch back to Fei and Elly are on a raft
of some kind. You will first control Elly and take her
across the pit and near the little door. Fei will pop out
and a lot more scenes follows.
Fei will have some funny scenes where he tries to catch a
fish. Elly just sits there looking over Fei like a
girlfriend (you should already know that they like each
other by now). There will be a very sweet scene where
Elly shares some rations with Fei (so cute, so sweet, yet
the ration tastes so bitter, this is funny. I know that
I'm a bit immature about this, but I can't help laughing
myself crazy).
The scene will switch to Bart and the Yggdrasil, Bart just
found out that the Goliath is actually controlled by Fei
and Citan. (He gets beat up by Rico for that, lol!!!) He
is mad at himself, after a few scenes, you will be able to
control Bart, look around for Citan in the Gear Dock Shop.
Citan will forgive Bart and tell Bart to say sorry to
Rico. Rico is at his gear at the other side of the room.
Just go there and an automatic scene will trigger. Rico
is amazed that Bart can actually tune his gear, Rico
thinks he and Fei is the only one, but now there is Bart.
And then the scene will switch back to Fei and Elly. They
meet up w
