I. Introduction
-------------------------------------------------
This is a walkthrough for The Legend of Dragoon for
the PlayStation. I hope you find it very useful for
places you may be stuck. If you are looking for
anything specific, just press Ctrl+F and type in
whatever you’re looking for.
If this is your first time playing this game, don’t
bother listening to any of my training tips. The main
thing you want to do is get the game over with and
discover the plot, although training would make the
game a bit easier. If not, then I would suggest making
a goal of training each character completely, and I can
give some tips for that. But you don’t have to do what
I say, obviously, as you are the one playing it.
For this guide I mostly took my favorite things
about a couple of other ones and mashed them together
to make the ultimate guide to The Legend of Dragoon.
-------------------------------------------------
II. Characters
-------------------------------------------------
The characters of this game are extremely important,
as is knowing each of their stats. Each character
represents a sub-plot in the game, developing as the
characters do from beginning to end. Knowing their
stats is vital if you are planning to do a good job in
this game and survive the battles. Here I’ve listed
what they appeared to be to me.
I have included first a paragraph describing the
story of each character, JUST BEFORE meeting them. The
second paragraph is a summary of each character’s
statistics and my evaluation of their battle skills.
As far as whether the stats are “average” or
something like that, this is how I calculated it. I
listed all the stats each character had at a certain
level (32 in this case). Then I listed them in order
from greatest to smallest. The highest was in each
stat was listed as “Really High,” the next level as
“High,” the next as “Average-High,” then “Average,”
“Average-Low,” “Low,” and “Really Low.” I then listed
them here as you see them on the page.
*v1.7 note:*
Before and while making this walkthrough, I fought
in a way that focused heavily on the physical
characters, as opposed to magical. However, since
then, I have discovered the power of the magical
characters. I still have aught against their low Hit
Points, but the fact of the matter is, no matter who
you use in this game, as long as you use three
characters consistently, they will be powerful.
<-------------->
Dart
<-------------->
Dart is twenty-three years old and has been on a
journey for the past five years searching for the Black
Monster, the monster that torched Dart’s hometown of
Neet to the ground eighteen years ago. Both his
parents died in the fire, and all he inherited was a
mysterious glowing memento from his father.
He’s a pretty round-about guy when it comes to
stats. He’s average in nearly everything. This is a
good thing, sort of, because Dart is the one character
that is always by default in your party and almost
never leaves. He has a wide variety of Additions, and
when trained properly, he can be quite the warrior.

Lavitz
<-------------->
Lavitz Slambert is a knight in the service of King
Albert of Basil. He is head of the First Knighthood,
but his entire squadron was killed in a battle with the
Imperial Sandora, and he was captured. Dart meets him
as he is breaking out of Hellena Prison, where Sandora
stows all their prisoners of war.
Lavitz is a powerful guy physically; but magically,
he isn’t that great. So I wouldn’t use him for all the
magic attacks if I were you. He has a very powerful
attack and defense, especially when given the right
Addition. Few of his Additions are SP based, but
rather focus on power (see “D. Additions” under “V.
Battles”). His high number of Hit Points enables him
to withstand heavy damage.

<-------------->
Shana
<-------------->
Shana is an eighteen-year-old girl from Seles who is
in love with Dart. Dart, however, feels differently
and prefers to see her as his baby sister for years.
Still, Shana keeps up hope that someday he will change
his mind. She is very sweet and genteel, and it is
most curious when she alone is captured and taken to
Hellena Prison, where we meet her after Dart risks his
life to save her.
Shana, when used wisely, can be fantastic in your
party. Her attack and defense are both dramatically
low, but her Magic Attack/Defense are both the highest
in the game. Her low Hit points are a drawback, but
this can be corrected with various equipment. When
trained, her healing powers can save your party from
complete defeat.

Rose
<-------------->
Rose is a mysterious character whose history nobody
really knows. She knows too much about things nobody
could know about, and doesn’t seem to want to tell
anybody where she learned all these historical facts.
She is a little cross at times, doesn’t understand
jokes, and doesn’t ever smile. She enters the story by
saving Dart’s life, twice.
Rose is a fantastic character. She has a good
defense and Magic Defense, although neither is
fantastic. Her attack is kind of low, but her final
weapon has a higher attack than any other. Her two
major fallbacks are that a) she has very low Hit
points, and even using items doesn’t help as much as I
personally would like, and b) you have to make it
through the entire game before you get her final
weapon—right before the final battle. But once again,
trained properly, she has powerful skills.

<-------------->
Haschel
<-------------->
Haschel is a sixty-three year old man who, twenty-
five years ago, lost his daughter when she ran away.
Five years later he set out in search of her, but found
instead Dart and his companions. Dart and Haschel have
met before in the five years before the beginning of
this game and still remember each other.
Haschel, in my opinion, doesn’t have enough
outstanding skills to be incredibly useful to me.
However, many people use him for his speed; he is the
one of the fastest characters in the game. His attack
is decent, but the rest of his stats (discounting
speed) are too low for my liking. But trained
correctly, and perhaps equipped with the right
equipment, he can be a master hit man.

<-------------->
Albert
<-------------->
Albert is the king of Basil. He is the best friend
of Lavitz, next to Dart. When Imperial Sandora attacks
Bale, Basil’s capital, King Albert offers himself up as
hostage to ensure that no people will be harmed. We
meet him when Dart and company come to save him in
Hellena Prison.
See Lavitz. Note: When Albert is acquired, Blossom
Storm becomes Rose Storm.
<-------------->
Meru
<-------------->
Meru is a young dancer from Tiberoa with curious
platinum-colored hair. She is the quirkiest thing you
will ever find, and works constantly to learn about
“love and romance.” We meet Meru in a lovely town full
of flowers when she beats up some bandits and insists
on coming with Dart on his journey. At the time she
has no idea what she’s getting herself into, but feels
she is going to be able to help out somehow.
Meru has incredible Magic Attack and Defense, but
low physical attack and defense. She has the highest
speed in the game, and the lowest Hit Points. Her high
Magic abilities make her excellent in combat, combined
with her top speed, enabling her to get in more hits.
But in this game, no character is ideal; her low HP can
make her more a vulnerability at times, especially
against enemies with high attacks.

<-------------->
Kongol
<-------------->
Kongol is a Giganto, a race of extremely tall and
almost brutish people. Way back when he was a little
boy (or as little as Gigantos get), humans destroyed
his hometown, and Emperor Doel saved him. Because of
this and Doel’s show of power, Kongol was loyal to
Emperor Doel until he was defeated by Dart and company.
Eventually, he joins Dart because he wants to see how
far he can go in the world with his power that is so
much greater than Doel’s was.
Kongol is ALL physical and NOTHING magical. He is
the best physical player you have, although Albert’s
leveled up Gust of Wind Dance Addition can best
Kongol’s Inferno. He has a really poor magic defense,
so some precaution is needed against more magical
enemies. Giving him various defensive equipment helps
immensely. He’s also very slow, but some pieces of
equipment help with that as well. His high HP is a
lifesaver on many occasions.

<------------->
Miranda
<------------->
Miranda is the First Sacred Sister of Mille Seseau.
She loses her temper very easily and can get annoying.
She really doesn’t like Rose. She doesn’t have the
best history in the world, so that excuses her from
some things she does. Her main passion is Queen
Theresa, who is like a mother to her. She would
willingly give her life for the queen. She joins our
party after realizing a terrible threat that looms over
Mille Seseau.
See Shana.
<--------------->
Divine Dragoon
<--------------->
There is only one other thing here: one character
eventually receives the Divine Dragon Dragoon Spirit.
This is completely Non-Elemental. This is by far the
strongest Dragoon in the entire game. Here are the
Magic Attacks:

III. Controls
-------------------------------------------------
Controls are very important, as with any game. Here
I will tell you each button and what it does.
X Button
--------
The X button is by far the most used in the game.
It is used to:
1. Confirm any command
2. Complete Additions in battle
3. Check for Stardust
4. Continue a conversation
5. Talk to people
6. Complete an action when a yellow “!” appears
over Dart’s head
O Button
--------
The O button is used to exit from menus or choices
and run when using the arrows to maneuver. Also,
you can use it to block counterattacks during
Additions in battle.
Square Button
-------------
The square button is used to (1) get on the Queen
Fury when you’re on the ocean on the World Map and
(2) hop on Coolon after Aglis in the fourth disc.
Triangle Button
---------------
The triangle button is used to open the main menu
and sort lists of items.
Left Analog Stick
-----------------
The left analog stick (if you have a modern PS
controller) allows you to move or choose a
command.
Arrow Keys
----------
The arrow keys allow you to choose a command or
move.
R1/L1 Buttons
-------------
The R1 and L1 buttons rotate the camera to the
left
and right when you’re on the World Map. In normal
gameplay (not on the World Map) it changes the
length of the arrows above Dart and
entrances/exits,
which can also be changed in the menu.
R2/L2 Buttons
-------------
The R2 and L2 buttons zoom in and out when you’re
on
the World Map, and the R2 changes the direction of
the camera in battle.
-------------------------------------------------
IV. Other Game Basics
-------------------------------------------------
<-------------->
Towns
<-------------->
In towns, you can stock up on items, weapons, and
heal your party. Most important story line events
occur in towns. Here you will find other characters in
the game, mostly without any real names unless they
play a part in the plotline. You can talk to these
people and sometimes get some interesting information;
but otherwise, they’re just basically there to make the
towns appear populated.
There are different types of buildings you can enter
while in a town. Each has a differently colored arrow
over the door, signifying which type of area it is.
Item Shops (Blue Arrows)
------------------------
You can buy items here, obviously. They sell
healing items, attack items, and other items.
Weapon Shops (Blue Arrows)
--------------------------
These sell weapons, armor, and accessories.
Inns (Yellow Arrows)
--------------------
Staying at inns instantly heals your entire party,
health and MP. Just talk to whoever is behind the
counter and pay up, then you’ll automatically rest
and be healed.
Clinics (Yellow Arrows)
-----------------------
Clinics heal the entire party of calamities, such
as
Poison and Fear. You will need to pay here as
well.
Other Areas (Green Arrows)
--------------------------
These are just everywhere else, from castles to
homes to saunas.
<------------->
Menu
<------------->
The menu is, of course, where most of the work of
the game is done, discounting battles. Here you can
equip armor, change Additions, replace characters, and
use items.
In the top left-hand corner of the main menu, you
will see where you are located in the game. The top
shows which chapter, and the bottom shows which area
you are in.
In the bottom left-hand corner of the main menu,
you’ll find a list of which Dragoon Spirits you have,
how much time you have spent on your game, how much
money you have, and how many Stardust you have
currently found.
In the main menu, there are seven choices: Status,
Item, Armed, Addition, Replace, Config, and Save.
Status
------
Status simply displays the status of each
character.
In the top left-hand corner, it displays which
character you are looking at, his health, SP, MP,
calamities, experience, level, and Dragoon level
(more information below). The top right-hand
corner
displays what pieces of armor he is wearing. The
bottom right-hand corner is his Dragoon magic, if
he
has any. Each character receives a new Dragoon
magic attack on Dragoon levels 1, 2, 3, and 5,
with
the exception of Kongol, who only receives them on
1, 3, and 5. The bottom left-hand corner contains
the stats of the character.
1. AT (Attack)—refers to how strong a
character’s
physical attack is in battle. This rises
with
level and better weapons or accessories.
2. DF (Defense)—refers to how well the character
can withstand physical attacks in battle.
This
rises with level and better armor or
accessories.
3. MAT (Magic Attack)—refers to how strong a
character’s magic attacks are in battle.
This
rises with level and various accessories or
armor.
4. MDF (Magic Defense)—refers to how well a
character can withstand magical attacks in
battle. This rises with level and various
accessories or armor.
5. Speed—refers to how fast a character is,
which
determines when and how often he hits in
battle, as well as his chances of escape when
choosing the “Run Away” feature. This rises
only with various accessories or armor.
6. A-HIT (Attack Hit)—refers to the chances a
character has to hit the enemy with physical
attacks. This rises only with accessories or
armor.
7. M-HIT (Magic Hit)—refers to the chances a
character has to hit the enemy with magical
attacks. This rises only with accessories or
armor.
8. A-AV (Attack Avoid)—refers to the chances a
character has to avoid the physical attack of
an enemy. This rises only with accessories
or
armor.
9. M-AV (Magic Avoid)—refers to the chances a
character has to avoid the magical attack of
an
enemy. This rises only with accessories or
armor.
The five columns signify (1) which stat is being
discussed, (2) the level of stat given only
through
the skill of the character’s body (most of which
rise with level), (3) how much the equipment the
character is wearing affects the stat, (4) the
total
of the first two, and (5) the percentage of
increase
in stats when turned into a Dragoon.
Item
----
“Item” is the choice to access the various item
commands.
The first, “Use”, brings up a list of the usable
items and each character. Choose the item of
choice, and then choose the character to use it
on.
If the character has a calamity, his name will
flash
accordingly.
“Discard” shows a list of all your items, both
weapons/armor and battle/healing items. Simply
choose the one you wish to discard and select
“Yes”
when it appears.
“List” just shows you a list of all items you
have.
You can sort them by type by pressing triangle.
Armed
-----
The “Armed” choice pulls up a screen much like the
one under “Status”; however, in the bottom right-
hand corner, you instead have the various
equipment
you can choose to equip to the character. In the
stats screen, a stat will show blue when the
highlighted equipment is beneficial to that stat,
and red when it is detrimental. However, before
you
simply equip whatever seems to have the best
stats,
make sure you check the other benefits as well.
These are displayed in the very bottom of the
right-
hand side.
Additions
---------
The “Addition” screen shows the various Additions
each player can use. Not all of them have very
many
Additions. (More info later.) The top shows the
character. The chart has the name of the
Addition,
the Number of strikes in each Addition, the Damage
percentage, the current level of the Addition, and
the number of completed Additions until leveling
it
up.
Replace
-------
In the “Replace” screen, you can change the
characters in your party. You can never switch
out
Dart, but everyone else you can, except for
certain
story events. Whoever is in the second slot will
be
to Dart’s right, and the last to his left.
Config
------
The “Config” option lets you configure various
things in your game. The “Vibrate” option lets
you
turn on or off the controller vibration. The
“Sound” option lets you choose the way you want to
have the sound come out of your speakers. Just
choose whichever you prefer. The “Morph” option
lets you change whether your Dragoon
transformations
are short or normal. Sometimes, seeing them
transform over and over can get tedious, in which
case you can change this option to “Short.” The
“Note” option helps you change whether the arrows
above Dart and entrances/exits flash, stay,
or just aren’t there.
Save
----
“Saving” saves a copy of your game on your memory
card. Save is not always an option you can
choose.
The only places you can save are at save points
throughout the story, on the World Map, or at the
and of each chapter, except the last one.
-------------------------------------------------
V. Battles
-------------------------------------------------
<------------->
General
<------------->
This game consists mostly of battles. All your
skill and strategy go into these, so (especially if
you’re new to this game) listen to all the information
I have here.
A battle begins by showing the characters you have
chosen for your party and then the enemies, or vice
versa. There is a blue box on the bottom of the screen
that shows your characters’ names and other
information. Each section looks like kind of like
this:
!--------------!---------------------!
! !Name of Character !
! !----+----------------!
! !HP: !Current Hp/ !
! Picture of ! ! Maximum HP !
! Character !----!----------------!
! !MP: !Current MP/ !
! ! ! Maximum HP !
! !----!----------------!-----------------
-!
! !SP: !================!Turns you will
!
!--------------!----!----------------!stay a Dragoon
!
!-----------------
-!
When your character is at full to half HP (Health
Points), the arrow above his head and the number of
current HP will be blue. If their HP is knocked down
to half, it will turn yellow. If it reaches one-fourth,
it will turn red.
MP (Magic Points) is used to perform Dragoon magic
attacks. If it runs out, you can no longer perform any
magic attacks.
SP (Spirit Points) is gained through Additions (see
info below). When it reaches 100 (a full bar), the
number to the right will say “1.” At 200, it says “2,”
and so on, up to 500.
<-------------->
Battle Menu
<-------------->
The normal battle menu has up to six options:
Attack,
Guard, Item, Escape, Dragoon, and Special.
Attack
------
Choosing Attack simply attacks the chosen enemy
physically. The use of Additions is described
later.
Guard
-----
The Guard option can help immensely in any battle.
Each time you guard, that character heals 10% of
his
maximum health, and any attacks on him that follow
will do half damage. Guarding is extremely useful
is you can heal someone to the maximum even if
they
are in red as well as save his life. Used wisely,
Guarding can be one of your most useful battle
tools.
Item
----
Choosing Item pulls up a list of all the battle
items you have: healing, attack, or other. Just
choose the item and the character/enemy you would
like to use it on.
Escape
------
The Escape option is used to run away from a
battle.
The higher the speed of a character, the bigger a
chance you have to successfully escape.
Dragoon
-------
This option only appears after the character has
received his Dragoon Spirit and when he has at
least
100 SP. Choosing it will transform the character
into a Dragoon.
Special
-------
This option only appears when all three characters
in your party have Dragoon Spirits and all their
SP
is filled to the maximum, whether that be 100 or
500. Choosing this option will turn each
character
into a Dragoon and change the background to match
that of the element of the character that used the
Special. Even if you have the Morph set on
“Short,”
the character that uses the Special will always
show
the long transformation.
There is also a different menu in battle: the
Dragoon menu, consisting of solely two options: Attack
and Magic. These options are discussed in depth later.
<------------->
Calamities
<------------->
Calamities are such things as poison, fear,
dispiriting, etc. They dampen your chances in battle
to beat the opponent. They can sap your health, cause
you to attack yourself, and many other detrimental
things. If you have enough SP, any one of these can be
cured by turning into a Dragoon. Let’s say that one of
your characters is confused, but the rest aren’t.
You’re out of Mind Purifiers, but you have enough SP
for a Special. If you use it, even that Confused
person will snap back to his senses and become a
Dragoon. Becoming a Dragoon ALWAYS cancels out any
calamity on a character.
Poison
------
Poison is perhaps the most common calamity in the
game. While a character is poisoned, his health
will diminish by 10% of the maximum each turn he
gets. This is signified by little green dots
circulating around the infected person and can be
cured by a Body Purifier.
Fear
----
What fear does is make all your attacks and
defense
drop by half. This is signified by blue skulls
floating around the affected person’s head and can
be cured by a Mind Purifier.
Confusion
---------
Confusion is, in my opinion, the worst problem you
can get. Whenever a character gets a turn in this
condition, you have no control over that person.
He
does whatever he wants, whether that’s attack
himself or a comrade, guard, or run. He never
attacks the enemy, uses items, or turns into a
Dragoon. This is signified by yellow question
marks
circulating around the affected person and can be
cured with a Mind Purifier.
Stunned
-------
When a character is Stunned, he simply gets his
turn
skipped until he is healed. However, if the
opponent attacks him, he will get back up. This
is
signified by the person lying down with blue dots
hovering above him and can also be cured by a Body
Purifier.
Bewitchment
-----------
Bewitchment is just like being confused, except
that
when you kill the enemy that cast the spell, it
wears off. This is signified by hearts floating
around the affected person and can be cured by a
Mind Purifier.
Petrification
-------------
This is just like being dead in that the character
gets no turns or experience as long as he is
Petrified at the end of the battle, except that it
goes away after the battle or after a certain
number
of turns. This is signified by the affected
person
1ying down and a cone hovering over him and can be
cured by a Depetrifier.
Arm Blocking
------------
This means that for the rest of the battle (or
until
it’s cured) the character cannot attack. This is
signified by black dots rotating around the
affected
person and can be cured by a Body Purifier.
Dispirited
----------
When a character is Dispirited, he doesn’t gain
any
SP for his attacks. This is signified by the
affected person letting their weapon hang toward
the
ground and can be cured by a Mind Purifier.
<------------->
Enemies
<------------->
Enemies’ HP has the same rules and colors as your
characters’.
Minor Battles
-------------
In most areas except for towns, you will encounter
random battles. You will know when you are about
to
have one if the arrow above Dart turns red. If no
battles are near, the arrow is blue, and in
between
is yellow.
Boss Battles
------------
Boss battles you can always see coming. There is
a
person/creature/thing that always looks bigger or
more powerful than everything else. Then the
screen
falls away and you’re in your battle.
Other Battles
-------------
Some places, such as Hellena Prison and Black
Castle, don’t have random battles like other
places.
The arrow above Dart’s head will always be red,
but
you will only have battles if one of the guards
touches you.
<------------->
Additions
<------------->
Additions are the key to this game. If you can’t
master Additions, you’ll pretty much fail the game. At
the beginning, they’re not as important because you may
not know how to use them. So here’s what to do with
these things:
When one of your characters goes to attack, you’ll
see a blue box that gets smaller as it closes in on
another box in the middle of the screen. When these
two boxes meet, press X. Another way to tell is an X
button to the right on the screen. When it goes down,
immediately press X. In your first Additions, this
will only occur once, but as you get more difficult
ones, this number will increase.
Sometimes, the enemy will flash red right before you
attack. This is a counterattack, and in order to block
it, you need to press O instead of X. This only
happens in an Addition that has three or more
opportunities to press X.
On the main menu, there is an area marked
“Addition.” If you select this, you will see a page
with a character’s face on top and a chart on the
bottom that looks something like this:
!--!-------------!---!-----!----!------!---------!
! !Name !LV ! ADD ! SP ! Dam% ! Next LV !
!--!-------------!---!-----!----!------!---------!

Here is what each category means:
Name: The name of each Addition
LV: The level of each Addition (out of 5)
ADD: How many times pressing X is required to
complete each Addition
SP: How many Spirit Points (SP) each completed
Addition receives
Dam%: Percentage of damage done to enemy when
completed
Next LV: How many times Addition has been completed/how
many times it needs to be completed to level
up
Here is a list of each character and their Additions
(format taken from Gbness and Cyril).

Well, that’s it for the Additions, but here are some
tips:
You may have noticed a pattern in these. Whenever
the Dam % is high, the SP is low, and vice versa.
However, there is one Addition for each character (the
last one) that has both. Well, how do I get these, you
might ask. “Mastered All Additions” means that this
Addition is attained when every single one before it
(in that character’s group) has been completed 80 times
until it is level five. These Additions make the game
soooooo much easier, so it’s great to get them,
although it takes some time.
<------------------------>
The Sequence of Battles
<------------------------>
This one’s easy. Most of the time, the character or
enemy with the highest speed will attack first.
Sometimes, if there is a character with really low
speed (ex. Kongol) and one with really high speed (ex.
Meru) the one with really high speed might attack twice
or even three times a round when the other attacks only
once. Naturally, the women have overall a higher speed
than the men; however, Haschel is an exception.
Another thing about battles, when a character or
enemy receives enough damage, the arrow above his head
and the numbers representing his health change from
blue to yellow. This occurs when they reach half HP.
If they are hit past this to the point of 1/4 health,
they will turn red. This is great if this happens to
your enemies, but this is NOT good for your characters.
If somebody is in red, I recommend you heal them
immediately unless the person healing has such a high
attack that you need it more than you need to heal that
person.
<---------------->
Battle Strategy
<---------------->
People’s battle strategies differ a lot, but this is
mine. I’m the type to kill the enemy as fast as I can
and don’t even bother with trying to poison them or
something like that. For boss battles, I bring out the
most powerful physically and use the one with the
weakest attack to heal people. (Refer to the item list
for more information.) I usually wait until someone is
in red to heal them if I have Healing Fogs, but if I
only have Healing Potions, I heal when they are in
yellow. I utilize the Guard option immensely to heal
and diminish damage. I build up each person’s SP until
the little bar is blinking, turn them into Dragoons,
and unleash the full force of their power. (See
Dragoon section for more information.) Usually this is
very effective and I almost never die with this
strategy.
v1.7 Insert: Having used more of the magically-based
characters, I would like to insert the strategy for
using them. They generally have lower defenses, and
lower HP, so you’ll need to pay attention to their
health. Healing may be more necessary, depending on
how low their HP really is. Equipping these characters
with items and equipment that raise their maximum HP
can be immensely helpful. In more magical battles,
this might not be as big a problem. Utilize their
magical abilities as much as possible; have them throw
Attack Items rather than Dart. Choosing the Additions
that give the most SP is a good idea so that they can
turn into Dragoons often. Keep a healthy stock of Sun
Rhapsodies and Moon Serenades, as well as the proper
Attack Items if possible.
This is how I choose my Additions: If I’m just
wandering around with no looming boss battles, I always
use the first Addition they have that isn’t level 5.
For boss battles, however, I use the one with the most
damage %. With this strategy, I can more easily level
up all my Additions to get the final ones and still
manage to beat up each boss pretty well.
<------------->
Dragoons
<------------->
Dragoons are almost as important as Additions in
this game. Obviously, as that is the name of the game.
Rose gives a very thorough explanation of how to use
them in Hoax, but I’ll give you some information here,
too.
--------
Overview
--------
Dragoons are things of legend. They have not
appeared since 11,000 years ago during the Dragon
Campaign. (More information about this you can find in
the game.) They are just humans, but have powerful
magic, legendary armor, and fluttery wings. Almost
nothing can penetrate their armor, and almost nothing
can stand against their magic. A Dragoon is “made”
when a human finds the spirit of a dragon, called a
Dragoon Spirit, and uses it to unleash terrible power.
These spirits are much like little translucent rocks
that glow certain colors depending on which dragon they
came from. Each stands for an element, of which there
are seven:
1. The Red-Eyed Dragon Dragoon Spirit—fire
2. The Blue Sea Dragon Dragoon Spirit—water
3. The Dark Dragon Dragoon Spirit—darkness
4. The White Silver Dragon Dragoon Spirit—light
5. The Jade Dragon Dragoon Spirit—wind
6. The Golden Dragon Dragoon Spirit—earth
7. The Violet Dragon Dragoon Spirit—thunder
------------------
Dragoons in Battle
------------------
You are not allowed to turn into Dragoons until Dart
figures out how to use his Dragoon Spirit, and all the
others have to find theirs before they can use them.
Dragoons are used in battle with powerful attacks and
magic. Each character’s attack, defense, magic attack,
and magic defense go up dramatically when they turn
into a Dragoon. There are two attacks to use as a
Dragoon: D-Attack and Magic. Most likely you will be
using the magic attacks most, but first you have to
know how to turn into a Dragoon.
------------------------
Becoming a Dragon Knight
------------------------
When a character gets a Dragoon Spirit, a little bar
will appear in battle at the very bottom of the screen
under their name. This represents his SP. In order to
gain SP, you have to attack your enemy. That’s it.
Each Addition gains a different amount of SP (see info
above). When you have gained 100 SP, you can turn into
a Dragoon. To do this, select the icon on the far
right of the battle menu that looks like a Dragoon
Spirit. Your character will have a magnificent show of
turning into a Dragoon and will then be hovering on the
spot with new armor, wings, and a souped-up weapon.
Now you can fight with your new abilities.
----------------------
Dragoon Attack Choices
----------------------
First choice, D-Attack. These are VERY tricky to
do. You have to get the timing perfect. What you have
to do is press X every time the little light goes by
the line sticking down at the top of the circle. Good
luck. There’s also a little X button to the right like
on the Additions, though. If you did it right, you’ll
know you got it perfect because it’ll say “PERFECT!” as
your person takes off to bludgeon the enemy. D-Attacks
don’t take any Magic Points (MP); however, Magic
attacks do (thus the name “Magic Points”).
Second choice, Magic. Magic is the most useful tool
in this game, besides items, of course. On this screen
you can choose which attack you want to use. To the
left is the name, to the right is how much MP it costs,
and to the bottom is the effect of the selected magic.
On level one, you’ll only have one magic attack, but
you progress to having four total for each character
(except Kongol, who has three). You choose from here
what you want to do with these. However, keep in mind
how much MP you have. If you don’t have enough MP to
do any magic, you’re just going to have to use a D-
Attack.
--------------------
Leveling Up Dragoons
--------------------
As you gain SP, your character’s Dragoon level will
level up, all the way to level five. It is difficult
to determine the exact number of total SP needed to
level up each time, but the number increases with each
level. On level one, you stay a Dragoon in battle for
one turn; level two, two turns; etc. On levels 1, 2,
3, and 5, your character will learn a new magic attack.
(Kongol, as an exception, does not gain any new magic
on level 2.)
Now you’ve figured out how to gain SP, turn into
Dragoons, and use them in battle. Once again, they’re
very useful. Use them wisely.
-------------------------------------------------
VI. Stardust
-------------------------------------------------
Stardust is a little side quest of the game. There
are fifty Stardust scattered throughout the world, and
if you can collect all of them you get a wish. Now
don’t get hasty, you don’t get to make a wish in the
game. You collect them and give them to a woman named
Martel. In return, she gives you some really handy
stuff. Here are the numbers of total Stardust needed
for each item given:
10—Physical Ring
20—Amulet
30—Wargod’s Sash
40—Rainbow Earring
50—Vanishing Stone
If you collect all fifty, she gives you the Vanishing
Stone which lets you fight Magician Faust. He is one
tough cookie, but more of that later. Throughout this
game, it just so happens that all fifty Stardust are
within your reach. You just have to look for them.
I’ll let you know where they are as we go through the
game. I also put in a complete list of the Stardust at
the end of the walkthrough.
-------------------------------------------------
VII. Items

you would fail this game without them. I’m going to

Well, I believe that’s it for the items. Now on to
more exciting things.
-------------------------------------------------
VIII. Walkthrough
-------------------------------------------------
This is where it all starts. I will do my best to
make this accurate. I’m playing the game as I write
this, so I believe it will be spot on.
The HPs on all the enemies are just approximations.
Due to the way the game is played, it is difficult to
pinpoint what the maximum HP of an enemy really is.
*v1.7 Note:*
Recommended Parties are relative. In all reality, the
party you normally use is the best party for the
battle. Using anyone in a boss battle that you do not
use regularly is a risk, one that you may take if you
wish. I tried to choose characters that fit the battle
itself the best, given the enemy’s strengths and
weaknesses. Feel free to use different characters if
you wish.
Also please note that the battle difficulties are also
relative, except for the ones close to the beginning,
namely in Chapter 1, and perhaps some of Chapter 2.
Any battle can be made easy if you train enough.
Especially at the end, I put more than once that a
battle was easier than you may find it, because of the
training I put into my game, as well as equipment. The
game gets infinitely easier with Legend Casques on each
character, as well as attaining the final Additions for
each character.
And the last thing: the difficulties on Boss Battles
range from Extremely Easy to Extremely Difficult.
There are seven levels of difficulty.
<---------------------------->
Chapter 1: Serdian War
<---------------------------->
You are about to embark on a long journey of joy,
pain, sorrow, and anger. This is the beginning, the
first disc and chapter of that story. Have a wonderful
time. It is one of the best games I have ever played.
This game begins with a brilliant movie (at least
for PlayStation). You see night arrows flying over a
small village. Soldiers ride in. The town burns.
Then a commander arrives and kneels over a young girl,
puts a small orb over her head, and decides that this
is “her.” The moon shows, the orb glows, and a light
goes into her forehead. They take her into custody,
and the commander talks to a man in a hood about why
they need her and only her. He says it’s Emperor
Doel’s command and that the man doesn’t need to know
why they’re taking her. Then they all leave town.
After that movie is over, you see a woman with dark
armor standing on a cliff looking out over a forest. A
big green thing pops up and she says, “The green-tusked
dragon, Feyrbrand,” then hops down into the forest.
Then you are taken to a young man in the forest reading
a newspaper that says, “Chance of war more likely.”
Well, that can’t be good. We discover that his name is
Dart. He hears the sound of pounding hoofs and goes to
check it out.
Here we find soldiers who look a lot like the ones
in that village. Dart pulls his sword against them and
is about to fight when suddenly that big green thing
shows up again right behind him. The two soldiers
freak out and ride away, but Dart, being the brave man
that he is, decides to stay and fight. That is, until
he finds out that he doesn’t stand a chance. He
eventually runs, dodges falling trees, jumps logs, and
is promptly shoved out of the way by the woman who was
at the top of the cliff. The big green thing is so
stupid it doesn’t even know where he went, so gives up
and goes away. Dart, as clueless as you probably
aren’t, wonders “What the heck was that?!” The woman
tells you that it is a dragon. Then she says, “That
village could have been easily destroyed without a
dragon.” Dart then realizes that this “village” is
“his village” and goes to save it. Something that the
woman has glows suddenly and she thinks, “That man must
be… No, there is no way.” He runs over a hill and
there lies a smoldering village.

This village has definitely been pillaged. You
immediately come up on two soldiers harassing a poor
villager. Dart gets ticked off and attacks the
soldiers. Congratulations! Your first battle!!!
These guys are easy. Duh, it’s the first battle of the
game. If you can complete your Addition, Double Slash
can kill one with one hit. After that battle, one
soldier runs away (even though you killed both of
them), and the man they were messing with says
something about a girl named Shana. But before Dart
can get anything out of him, he dies. Now you’re free
to move once again. There’s a chest at the top right
that contains a Burn Out. Use X when right next to it
to open it. That blue light thing that on the left is
a Save Point. These are the only places (besides the
World Map) that you can save. They usually appear
right before a boss battle, so it’s wise to save
whenever you see one. Press triangle when you’re in
the light to open the menu. At the bottom is “Save”.
Choose which slot you want to save in, then press X.
After you’re done with everything, go to the left.
Here you meet the mayor of the town, Plos. At first
he is lying on the ground, but he wakes up to Dart’s
voice and Dart pulls him to the wall of the nearest
house. Plos tells Dart that Shana was taken away, but
he doesn’t know where. Just then the commander of the
Sandora army shows up with two soldiers with him. Dart
says that he’s gonna make him talk and figures out that
they took Shana to a place called Hellena Prison. Then
the man charges Dart. And here is your first boss
battle.
___________________
===========
Boss Battle
===========
Name: Commander
HP: 20
Element: Non-Elemental
Recommended Party: Dart
Difficulty: Extremely Easy
Experience: 20
Gold: 20
Item: Burn Out
Healing Potion (2)
This is too easy. This guy’s accompanied by two
Sandora soldiers. They’re just like the ones before,
but one of them runs away. The Commander is easy, too.
Just pound him with your Additions, and if you really
want to, you can try out your Burn Out. What you have
to do with these is press X as fast as you can. It
will take you a while to get really good at it. He’ll
use a Power Up, but you can still handle him.
___________________
After that, Dart decides to go rescue Shana at
Hellena prison. So that’s where we’re headed. But
first, check the headstone in the front row one from
the left for a (1) Stardust. Then talk to the guy out
in the middle of the street. This guy is Dart’s old
teacher and can teach you how to battle and do
Additions if you don’t know how. Now leave the town.
You are shown Hellena Prison. A cell appears, and
the girl named Shana is thrown into it. The warden
yells at her to be good and leaves. She curls up and
cries.
Then you see a hunk of a guy and the man in the hood
from the video. The big man, Fruegel, asks who this
girl is. However, all the information the man in the
hood can disclose is that “the world’s future rests on
her.” Then the man draws a sword and tells Fruegel
that if a scratch appears on her, it will “cost more
than your head.” As he storms out in a huff, Fruegel
knocks a guard over the bridge to his death.
When you return to Dart, head west to the Forest.

HP: 5

Here you will encounter wild animals. They’re
really not that hard, so don’t worry.
In the first screen there is a guy to the left. Go
talk to him and he’ll sell you some items. Get some
Healing Potions and whatever else you fancy. A couple
Body Purifiers would help, too. Then, if you don’t
know how to use items, he’ll teach you. Go to the
right and find a Healing Potion in a box. Then go
north. Go up, get a Charm Potion, and go left into the
next area. Go all the way to the right. You’ll pop up
just under that. Now go to the other path under you
and get 20G. Go out either way and go to the lower
left path. Here you’ll find a Burn Out. Go out and
this time, go to the top left path and head out.
In this screen, head down over the log. At the
bottom, a wild dog will show up, and you’ll get to see
a young Dart and Shana playing. Nothing really
significant. It’s just showing you that they were
friends when they were young. Go to your right to the
next area. Right now I would advise leveling up Dart
until he reaches the next level. This amazingly enough
seems to make the whole rest of the game easier. You
don’t have to, but you might want to. After you’re
done, head down and out.
Head south to Hellena Prison.
<--------------->
Hellena Prison
<--------------->
Minor Enemies:
Name: Fowl Fighter
HP: 10
Element: Fire
Name: Hellena Warden
HP: 10
Element: Fire
It turns out that Hellena Prison is what appears to
be a really big tree stump. Anyway, your main problem
is how to get in. Suddenly, (just your luck) a wagon
comes by!! Follow it into the prison, and at the gate
a guard is asking the merchant driver about what he
has. He comes around to inspect the load. Press X to
get out of sight, and then you’ll automatically get in
the wagon and go into the prison. Look at that! You
made it!
You pop out of the wagon. Go up and get a chest
that contains a Burn Out. Now go save if you want and
then go toward the guy who was driving the cart. He’ll
call a guard, and then you’ll have to fight. No
biggie. Just a Hellena guard. You’ll be meeting a lot
of these guys. They throw Spark Nets, which really
hurt, so be prepared to use a couple of those Healing
Potions throughout this place. After that, talk to the
guy and get Healing Potions if you’re short, and get
some Angel’s Prayers. They’ll help you a lot
throughout this game.
Head out and go to the right. By the way, in here,
there will be guards running around. If they see you,
they’ll chase you until you go into the next area or
you fight them. I suggest fighting them because you
really could use the experience this early in the game.
Go up the stairs here and into the next area. The
guard here you can’t run from if he sees you, but he
does turn around and stare at the wall for a few
seconds, so you can get by if you really want to. Go
up the ladder and into the next area. Go across the
bridge to a save point and go into the room. In here
you’ll find three guards and three chests. The chests
contain a Leather Jacket, an Angel’s Prayer, and 50G.
Get out of here and press X next to the lift to go up.
Go into this room and head left.
Here Dart will hear some guards talking to some
soldiers who are prisoners being escorted to their
cell, or from it. The guard says something about
feeding them to the “pet,” and then somebody says, “I
won’t let him!” A guy in green armor appears and kills
all the guys with a lance. While he’s doing this,
another guard comes in and knocks off the two good
soldiers. Then Dart comes in, bewildered at the
confusion. After this new guy is done killing, he
attacks Dart, who blocks him. They introduce
themselves (he’s Lavitz) and talk it out that they’re
both against one enemy and stop fighting to fight
another group of guards. And here is your first battle
with Lavitz!! These guys are easy. The only
difference between these and the previous guards is
that there are more of them. Lavitz’s Addition is
Harpoon. Very easy. After that, Lavitz wants to say
goodbye to the lost soldiers, and he and Dart talk
about getting out of prison and each person’s history.
Lavitz is a knight in service of King Albert, and he
just lost his entire knighthood. He needs to get back
to Bale, the capital of Serdio, to report to King
Albert. He agrees to join Dart to get out of the
prison. Now we go look for Shana.
If you want, you can look in all the cells for some
stuff like gold and items, but otherwise go out the way
you came. After you exit the area, a guard comes down
on a lift and attacks you. Kill him and go up the
lift. If you check the door on the right, it’s locked.
I wonder who could be in here. Go to the left and
you’ll notice that every entrance except the one you
came in is blocked by guards. Go up the mini stairs to
the north and around until you reach a platform. Here
you’ll find a key! I wonder where this could go? Go
out of the room and across to the locked door. Look at
that! It’s open! Go in and to the left where you’ll
find yet even more guards guarding a cell. Fight them
and Dart will go into the cell where Shana awaits.
Dart and Shana have a teary reunion, and we’re
starting to wonder if they could possibly be in love
with each other. Well, at least Shana is in love with
Dart. They have to leave because the guards are
coming, and here comes another battle. Beat them and
Shana will insist that she is no longer a little girl
and takes up arms: a bow and arrow that just so happen
to be lying there next to her cell. Congrats! Shana
has now joined your party.
Now you get to see the big fat man. He is informed
by a guard that the “Knight from Basil” and “the guy
with red armor” both teamed up and took Shana. He gets
rewarded by falling to his death, and then Fruegel
yells at the other guard and gives the usual orders:
find them or die. However, by orders of Emperor Doel,
they must not kill the girl. Now go out and down
the lift and down the lift and out the door. Along the
way, I believe you will come across that merchant
again, so stock up. Make sure you save, too. Go out
and you’ll meet that big, fat, tall guy again. Your
party talks to him and we discover that his name is
Fruegel, that Emperor Doel is who wanted Shana taken
away (the reason for which we still do not know), and
that it was all Fruegel who killed all the people of
Seles and torched the town. Now you get to fight
Fruegel and some of his cronies.

This really isn’t that hard of a battle. In the
first round, you can’t attack Fruegel. If you trained
in the Forest, Dart’s Double Slash should kill one of
the guards, and Lavitz and Shana together can kill the
other. Then he brings out the Senior Wardens. They’re
tougher, but still easy. At this point have Dart and
Lavitz attack Fruegel, and have Shana attack the
wardens. When one of the wardens gets in red, have
Lavitz guard; because when they die, they throw a
Gushing Magma at you, and Lavitz will take heavy damage
if you don’t. Have Shana healing throughout the battle
because you need Lavitz’s and Dart’s attacks.
___________________
Now that that’s over, your party escapes on some
horses. Lavitz barely makes it out.
You see Fruegel yelling at the guards for letting us
go. Suddenly he freaks out because he notices the man
in the hood standing above him. He threatens to tell
Emperor Doel about this, and then Fruegel promises to
get her back. Then the man says that it doesn’t matter
because “they are in the palm of my hand.”
Now you’re on the World Map.

When you enter, you’re running from the Hellena
wardens, and Lavitz is worn out because he’s hauling so
much armor with him. You gain control, so head down
the path. Toward the end, the wardens fire an arrow,
which grazes Lavitz’s leg. It’s just bad enough that
he has a lot of trouble going the rest of the way.
Dart tells Shana to go ahead and he’ll carry Lavitz,
when she insists that she is not a little girl and can
go with them. Lavitz then retorts and says that he can
walk himself. Well, that just ruins Dart’s whole plan.
They go on to the next area and the wardens come down.
Dart, Shana, and Lavitz all hide behind a tree right
before the guards come to look for them. The guards
hear a rustling and tell them to come out. Out pops a
squirrel! They think the party isn’t there, so they go
off to the north. Now you gain control.
This place has a specific sequence of areas to go
to, so read carefully. First go north from here and
you’ll find a river. Right now you can’t get to the
other side, so go back and to the left. Here there
will be a horse to the left and a shack on the bottom
of the screen. Head toward the shack, where Shana will
doctor up Lavitz’s wound. When Dart walks in, Shana
asks him about his journey over the past five years
that he’s been gone. Dart tells an interesting story
about his past and the Black Monster, and then asks
Lavitz what is going on in the country. It turns out
that Serdio is at war with the Imperial Sandora, led by
Emperor Doel. Originally, there was a truce between
Sandora and Serdio, but when Sandora gained a dragon to
fight with, they started attacking. Lavitz needs to
get back to Bale to tell King Albert about the dragon
and how fast Sandora is advancing. He invites Dart and
Shana to come along because they can get some
information about the Black Monster there from Minister
Noish.
When they’re done talking, you can rest in here, but
then go out and up the left path. Here you will find a
tree that is half cut. Dart thinks that this could go
across the river, but he can’t cut it with his sword.
Maybe an axe would do… Head back down and into the
shack. Now you should see something sparkling. An
axe!! Pick it up by pressing X when you’re near it and
go back up to the tree. Dart will cut it down, but it
will fall into the river. How sad. Now go back to the
river the other way, and—look!!—there’s that tree! It
magically falls perfectly in the place where you can
jump across to the other side. Do so and go to the
next screen.
Get the chest which contains an Angel’s Prayer and
head up. If you talk to the family, you will learn
that they are from Kazas, the capital of Imperial
Sandora. Lavitz will tell them that they can go to
Bale where King Albert will always lend a helping hand,
even if that person is from the enemy. Boy, this King
Albert must be a great guy. Head up and you’ll be on
the World Map.
Head north to the Limestone Cave.

In here, go to the left to get a Detonate Rock and
then proceed to the bottom left and the next screen.
In here there should be a river-type-thing on the
right. Go down it and just let it flow. You’ll find
20G. Go back up to the top and immediately move the
analog stick/arrow up and you will go down a different
path. Then move the analog stick down as you come to
the next fork and you will land on a rock with a box
that contains a Bastard Sword. Head down to the next
screen.
There will be some stepping stones that you have to
go across. Just hop over and get the chest on the
right with a Total Vanishing. Continue and go to the
left to get a Body Purifier. These are going to come
in handy later, so stock up. Go across to the other
side of the rocks, and Lavitz almost falls off of the
rock down the waterfall!! Dart hops over and saves
him, though. Lavitz and Dart have a conversation that
does not include Shana, and she gets a
little upset. You’re in the next area.
First, go straight across into another room where
you will find 100G. For now, ignore the creature down
there because we’ll get to that later. Head out and go
down the next path available. Lavitz and Shana pop out
and Dart and Lavitz talk about the floating lights.
They’re Rock Fireflies, and Shana doesn’t know what
they do. Dart disturbs them and they heal your whole
party. Awesome! Shana flirts with Dart a little bit,
but he still isn’t getting it. Go to the right and get
a chest with an Angel’s Prayer. Then go up and get a
Burn Out. Go back down and to the right to go the next
screen.
Go straight to the back where you’ll see that
creature. First go back and get a chest with a Spark
Net. Now you get to chase the creature. Just chase it
around the circle until you touch it, and then go touch
it again and you’ll find a box with a Poison Guard in
it. I would advise equipping this to Shana for
something upcoming. Head out and this time go get the
chest with a Charm Potion in it and head to the right
into the next screen. Head up to the next screen.
This is a very open area with weird noises in the
background. Get the chest to the left with a Body
Purifier and the one on the right with a Bandana.
Save. Go up and your people will hear something.
Lavitz talks about the “guardian of the cave.” Then a
huge snake comes up and attacks you.

I hope you armed Shana with that Poison Guard. In
this battle, use Dart and Lavitz’s strongest Additions
and Shana for healing.
Another way you can beat this guy is just have Shana
throw some items at him. He’ll die insanely fast.
But other than that, after a while, he’ll slither up
into a hole so that Dart and Lavitz can’t get to him.
Now have Shana attack while Dart and Lavitz guard.
This way, if he attacks with his poison spit, it won’t
affect anybody. If you have enough Body Purifiers,
sometime throw out a Burn Out or Spark Net if you have
one. When he comes back down, keep attacking him until
he dies. Dart will use a finishing move where he jumps
up and slashes the head.
___________________
Next a scene will play.
***SPOILER ALERT***
The snake appears to be dead, and our company
leaves. Shana stays behind for just a second before
heading off herself. Just then, the snake rears up and
lunges at Shana! But then the strangest thing happens.
A blue light starts shining out of Shana’s forehead and
repels the snake. Then the Urobulus shatters. Dart
runs up to Shana and asks her what happened, but she
doesn’t know.
***END SPOILERS***
After that, just head out to the north. Follow that
path and get the chest that has a Healing Potion in it.
Continue and get the other box with 50G in it. Then
head out of the Limestone Cave.
Head north to Bale.

Bale

Stardust: 3
This is the capital of Basil. The first thing we
need to do is report to King Albert. But first, head
into the building just to the left and get 50G. You
can talk to the girl in here to get Lavitz’s portrait
if you want. Now go out and into the inn. Save in
here but don’t rest at the inn; you’ll get a free night
later. Leave and follow the path to the left. Go up
all the way to the top and on to the Indels Castle.
*************
Indels Castle
*************
Stardust: 3
Go in the top stairs and explore. Everywhere. Go
to the right and past the table to the left and go down
the ladder. Go down again and rotate the wheel, then
go back up and down the stairs this time. Down here,
go down to where the horse is, where you’ll find a
Sparkle Arrow to the right. Go up and near the
fireplace. Press X to get a (1) Stardust. Go up the
stairs again. Here go to the left and get a chest with
50G. Now go up the next set of stairs. Here go to the
left. Check the back of the little room to find a (2)
Stardust. This time go down to the bottom and through
the doorway. Now you’ll be outside the castle on a
path leading to another room. Go all the way to the
other side and go down the ladder. Go down the ladder
and get the chest with an Active Ring and go back. Now
go up the next set of stairs. You are now in the
throne room. Oh, boy, King Albert is here! Lavitz
will come up and start talking to him. He introduces
Dart and Shana, and King Albert is very gracious to
them because he loves Lavitz so much. He thanks Dart
and Shana for saving Lavitz and gives in return
anything they ask. When Dart asks if he can leave
Shana at the castle, she is furious (or close to it).
King Albert then says that the castle isn’t really as
safe as it seems. If the dragon can attack at low
altitudes, the army couldn’t fight it off; therefore,
Shana would be as safe with Dart as she would be in the
castle. Dart takes back the request and instead asks
Minister Noish about the Black Monster. You’ll see a
movie about the 11,000-year-old Dragon Campaign. This
is a tale of the Winglies’ enslavement of the humans
and the humans’ revolt against them.
Notice the man behind Albert to the right. After
this, Shana goes out to see the city lying underneath
the castle while Lavitz briefs the king about the
military situation. Dart follows, and as they’re
discussing Seles, Lavitz comes out and tells them that
he has to go to Hoax to hold the line against the
dragon. Dart decides to come with him, of course, and
so does Shana. Lavitz invites them to come to his
house and visit his mother, so that’s where we’re
headed. Now go back into the throne room and enter the
door behind Albert’s throne. Talk to the unbelievably
familiar man and then go down the ladder. You appear
in the bottom level of the castle. Now leave the
castle and go to the first area you saw when you
entered town.
Head straight to the back and check the well there
for a (3) Stardust. If you enter the house on the
left, you can learn more about Stardust from the old
man. Now enter the huge house. In here, Lavitz calls
to his mother, who comes out and greets the group
happily. She thinks Shana is Lavitz’s sweetheart, and
you can choose any choice you want right here, but
Lavitz will still say that she’s not, so it doesn’t
matter. Shana then goes to help with cooking, and you
are allowed to choose what you want to do. Lavitz will
just say no unless you choose the last one, though.
After you do that, go into any room you like, but the
only one that will do you any good is the library. Go
in here, and Lavitz will pull the ladder up to a window
in the roof. He goes out and tells Dart that he wants
to show him his “treasure.”
Dart goes out and they talk about how Lavitz became
a knight and how Dart loves Shana. They’re called to
lunch, and they go down; but before they do, Dart
reveals his true feelings for Shana: he loves her, but
only like a baby sister.
After dinner, don’t leave the house yet. Remember
what I said about a free sleepover? Go back into the
kitchen that you couldn’t enter before and talk to
Lavitz’s mom. After some conversation, she asks if you
want to stay the night. You do automatically and
reappear in the entrance hall. Go back into the other
room and into the actual kitchen. Check what looks
like a shelf for a (4) Stardust. Now go into the other
room in this area and get the chest with 20G in it.
Head out, but don’t leave through the front door. Go
upstairs and out the window in the library. Go all the
way across the roof and jump into the stable. Go in
and press X whenever necessary until you make it across
to the other side. Get the box with a Healing Breeze
in it and jump down and go out. (Note: Healing Breezes
in this disc will be your prized possessions. Use them
only whenever needed.)
Now! Time to stock up on items and weapons, and
let’s not forget those last few Stardust. Go south and
into the blue-arrowed door on the right. Grab any
items you need and head out. Stop in the door just to
the left of the inn and talk to the person behind the
bar. He offers to sell you some spirits, and you want
to buy them. This will help you get a Stardust. Go
out and to the left. This time go into the weapon shop
(the door with the blue arrow over it) and get anything
you might need that you can afford. If you got the
Bastard Sword in the Limestone Cave and the Sparkle
Arrow in the dungeons of the castle, you won’t need to
buy those. While in here, check the spears at the
bottom of the screen for a (5) Stardust. Go out and
back to the bottom of the screen.
Back here, go down the path under the fountain.
Under here there is a drunk to whom you will give those
spirits. He moves out of the way, and you can go
through! Follow the path onto the next two screens
(get the chest with 20G on the way) and under the
castle. Here is a dock with a boat at it. Earlier you
should have turned the wheel to make the doors open.
If not, you need to go do that. Otherwise, hop in the
boat and let it take you around town until it stops.
Once you hop off, go in the door and all the way to the
back and check it for a (6) Stardust. Once the boat
gets back to the dock, leave. Now head out and up and
out of town. On your way out, a woman will bump into
you named Martel. After a slight scuffle, she leaves.
This is the woman to whom you will give your Stardust.
If you really want to, you can go back to the house
just to the left of Lavitz’s house and give them to
her, but it’s not necessary. Leave town and you’ll be
on the world map.
Head south until you reach the fort-like town of Hoax.
Save before you enter.

Minor Enemies:

As you walk in, Shana will comment on how much it
looks like a fortress. But what we need to do, as
Lavitz mentions, is talk to the knight Kaiser. But
first, go into the inn and rest. Now go into the
building just to the right of the inn. Here is Kaiser.
You’ll all talk to him about the battle lines and other
stuff like that. He says that Shana can’t fight, so
she ends up cooking for the soldiers. All the guys
comment on this, which makes her upset. After that
little mini-argument, Dart gets to leave with Shana.
Go up the stairs to the left and into the house. Now
go downstairs and check the fire for a (1) Stardust.
Head back up and out the back of the house. Follow the
trail and go down the stairs and into the little room.
Get the chest for a Healing Potion and leave. Now go
back to Kaiser’s area, but don’t talk to him yet. Go
back to the left of the table in the little alcove and
look for a (2) Stardust. Now talk to them, and Kaiser
will lead you and Lavitz to your positions. When you
get up there, you’ll take the place of the guard and
night will fall.
Now that it’s dark, Dart starts to get hungry and is
about to head back to get something to eat. He tells
Lavitz not to worry because the owls are hooting in the
forest, meaning that there are no people in the forest.
Go down the stairs, but when you reach the bottom, the
owls stop hooting!! A man shouts, “The enemy is
coming! The enemy is coming!” You’re under attack!!!
Dart and Lavitz jump down to counter the enemy, and you
have to fight a couple of Sandora soldiers. They’re
easy, just pound them. After that, Dart sees a guy at
the top killing one of ours, so he rushes up there
trusting Lavitz to guard the bottom. As soon as he
gets up there, Lavitz is finished with his guy, so he
rushes up. Now you have to fight an Elite.

This guy is pretty much a piece of cake. Just hit
him with your strongest Additions. Although, he does
have one magic attack that can do serious damage to
Lavitz, so watch your health. Also, after a while,
he’ll “pull his gloves off” and do this magic thing
where he now becomes three people. Your job is to
figure out which one is the real him. The first three
times, he won’t be in the same position, so that should
help a little. For instance, if he is on the left the
first time, on the right the second, then he must be in
the middle this time. It’s not that hard.
___________________
After that, the people down at the bottom are
freaking out because of a huge guy down there. A man
screams that he’s called a Giganto, and Dart and Lavitz
rush down to attack him. His name is Kongol, and he is
pretty tough.

Kongol is one tough dude, and I really hope you’ve
mastered your Additions. If you cannot successfully
complete your Addition, he will instantly
counterattack, doing fairly heavy damage. Also, he has
a great attack and defense, but his magic defense is
really low, and this is your key if you’re not any good
at Additions yet. Pound him with your magic attacks.
Once I threw one at him that did over 80 damage.
After a while, he’ll put away his huge axe and
attack you with his bare hands. The strength of a
Giganto is not to be underestimated, let me tell you.
These attacks will hurt even more, and he has an all
attack. Once again, watch your health, as this may be
the time to use your Healing Breeze.
___________________
***SPOILER ALERT***
When Dart runs up to do his finishing move, Kongol
hits him back twenty feet instead. Dart lies helpless
on the ground when Kongol begins to come up to him. As
soon as Kongol raises his axe, a light appears in the
sky. Kongol looks up, and down falls the same woman
who saved Dart earlier, except this time, she has fancy
armor and wings. She attacks Kongol, then hovers in
the sky, points her rapier at Dart, and says, “Wake up!
Dragoon of the Red-Eye Dragon!” Then Dart’s
breastplate starts to glow red, and he shoots out these
wings and flies directly into Kongol, knocking him
fifty feet back on his head. Dart lands, now wearing
his own fancy armor and wings. The dark woman lands
next to him, no longer the creature she was just a few
moments ago.
Then the game goes back to original gameplay, and
Shana comes out to see what happened. Suddenly Dart
returns to normal human form and falls down on his
face.
***END OF SPOILERS***
But after this all happens, Dart wakes up in the inn
with the woman who saved his life, Rose. She also has
joined your party. (You have no idea how awesome she
is until the third or fourth disc.) Rose and Shana are
arguing because Shana is worried that she is important
to Dart and Rose is trying to convince her that she’s
not. Dart wakes up and breaks it up, though. He
explains to Shana that Rose has saved his life before,
and then asks what happened last night. Rose explains
that the memento he inherited from his father is
actually a Dragoon Spirit. A Dragoon Spirit chooses a
person to whom it wants to give its power and lets them
use it, thus making the Dragon Knight, who can rule
dragons. Dart’s Dragoon Spirit chose him, therefore he
is a legendary Dragoon (so is Rose). After she’s
finished, Lavitz asks her why she followed them to
Hoax. She explains about her “dear old friends” and
how much they were like Dart, Shana, and Lavitz, and
how they all died. Shana apologizes for thinking badly
of Rose, and she says that she’s used to being hated by
everyone.
Just then you hear a voice from outside saying that
the 7th Fort in the Marshland is under fierce attack by
the dragon!! They all rush out, and Kaiser is about to
leave for the fort. But apparently Kaiser was wounded
during the battle, his wound is still open, and the
Knighthood is no match for the dragon, as Rose
explains. She tells Dart that, because they are “of a
different existence,” they can defeat the dragon. As a
result, Kaiser asks Dart, Shana, Lavitz, and Rose to go
in his stead. After you agree to go, everyone will
break up and you will be free to move. Go up and save.
You don’t have to stay at the inn because you got
plenty of rest last night. As you head out, Rose will
ask you if you need any Dragoon training before you
leave town. If you haven’t played this game before, I
suggest you talk to her about it. After you’re done,
leave. You can now switch out your characters. Just go
to the menu, choose “Replace,” and put whoever in
wherever you
want them.

A Sandora soldier comes up and you have the choice
to advance or retreat. Choose to advance and you’ll
fight the soldier. In this battle, there will be two
soldiers: one water-aligned, one fire-aligned. Use
your D-Attack whenever you get 100 SP for either Rose
or Dart in these next few battles. After that battle,
another soldier will kill the Basil soldier and round
on you. You will be given another choice; choose the
top answer again. Fight them and move on to the next
and the next and the next. After the last battle, a
commander will come out and fight you. He’s kind of
like the boss battle of this area, but not big enough
to list as a boss battle. Just kill him and go into
the fortress.
In here, there is total devastation. Go to the
right and get a chest with a Sun Rhapsody. Go to the
left and check the unlit fireplace for a (1) Stardust.
Get the chest underneath it with a Healing Potion and
go down to the dying soldier. Talk to him, and there
will be some conversation after which you will get a
Wargod’s Amulet. Go further to get another chest with
a Spirit Potion. Now go out of the Fort the way you
didn’t previously come in. There is a chest here
containing a Lance. Equip it to Lavitz. Go back out
and out of the fort. Go down, get the chest with a Sun
Rhapsody in it and leave the area.
Go down the left path now and round the tree thing
until you reach the next area. Hop on the boat and get
the first chest (Spirit Potion) and go down to the next
box with a Burn Out. Go down once more and get yet
another chest with a Body Purifier. This time go to
the left and get two chests, one with a Magic Signet
Stone and the other with a Stun Guard. Now go back
until you get off the boat on the original path and go
up. Shana will get her foot stuck in the mud and
scream. Dart will check on her, but she’s fine; and to
prove this, she jumps up, falls down, and twists her
ankle. Dart will rush over and give here a piggy back
ride. They have a nice romantic moment, and you’re in
the next screen. She gets off and is now fine. Now go
up and you’ll be on the world map.
Head south to Volcano Villude.

Just head directly forward, and something way out
there in the distance will pop up. Rose says that it
is Fire Bird, and then you’ll run off after he sees
you. Continue and get the chest with a Spear Frost.
Head on to the next screen. Go up, hop over, and get
the chest containing a Body Purifier. Go up and to the
right to get a Panic Guard. Now go back and to the
left. Notice the man in the background, save, and
continue. In this room with all the magma, hop along
the rocks until Shana comes out of Dart saying that
something’s calling her. She runs off; and, of course,
follow her.
In this room, there is a strange-looking statue with
a hand sticking up. Apparently Shana was being called
by this, and Rose explains that it is still alive.
It’s a Virage, a creature that was used by the Winglies
during the Dragon Campaign just as the dragons were
used by humans. Suddenly, the hand starts moving!

This Virage dies when you take out its head. If you
want, you can get rid of the other two, but only the
arm will do you any good. That way it will stop
smacking you. If you choose to kill the body, it
really won’t do anything. This Virage has two really
annoying attacks: a beam of light that really hurts,
and a weird thing that makes your people afraid. The
only theory here is to use your big Dragoon attacks.
This would be a great time to try out your magic
attacks if you haven’t yet. Since this thing is the
one thing in this place that isn’t fire-aligned, you
can use Dart’s Flameshot to do moderate damage. After
you’ve killed it, Dart will do his finishing move of
jumping and knocking it back into the lava.
___________________
Now you’ll have another scene. The Virage is
falling into the lava while your party is looking on.
As they leave, Rose stays, watching it sink into the
depths of the lava. Then Dart tells her to run because
it keeps splashing the lava everywhere. She
reluctantly walks away with them.
Now you’ll be back in the previous area with all the
lava. Go directly across to the next room. Shana
hears a man calling for help; and when you look for
him, you see he’s hanging off a rock!! You rush over,
and Dart and Shana help him up. In return for saving
his life, the man (Dabas) gives you a Sapphire Pin.
After he leaves, follow him out. In this room, just
follow the path until you come to the other side where
Fire Bird pops out of the underlying lava!

In this battle, you really can’t do anything except
keep hitting him with your Additions and turning into a
Dragoon whenever you can. Use your D-Attack, and
Astral Drain does a lot in this battle. Flameshot is
almost useless, though. He has a couple of nasty
attacks: he does this thing where he dives into your
people and comes out of the lava—being a magical
attack, it does a lot of damage to Lavitz—, and when he
brings out a lot of little fire balls and throws them
at you. These hurt, but other than that, he doesn’t
have that many bad attacks. Just beat him and then
he’ll vanish.
___________________
After that battle, just head up into the next
screen. Get the chest with 50G in it and talk to Dabas
to stock up on items; it’ll be a while before we reach
another town. Head out, and you’ll be on the world
map.
Head to the Dragon’s Nest.

Nervous? We are finally at the nest of the dragon.
Just head up to the next screen. Go a little farther,
and everybody will come out and talk about the air.
The dragon poison has penetrated the air, explaining
why there is no Sandora defense in this forest. Shana
starts to feel a little dizzy, and then she runs off to
the north. Everybody follows her, and she ends up
being fine. Notice the plant (yes, it really is a
plant) to the north blocking the path. After all the
conversation, you’ll be in the previous area. Continue
to the right. Go up to the rocks across the river and
jump over. Head down, and down, and down until you
reach the chest containing a Chain Mail. Equip it to
the person with the worst defense, which should be
Dart. Go back up, hop over the rocks, and walk over
the spider web-looking thing. But you’ll fall down!
Now you will be down in a very strange-looking area.
Shana got knocked out by the fall, but she comes to.
Rose says that we’re officially in the nest of the
dragon. Dart looks on the positive side of things and
says that at least we don’t have to look for the dragon
any more. Shana then grabs everybody’s attention and
says that there is a pool of good, clean, untainted
water down here. After you gain control, drink from
the water to completely heal your party.
Go up and climb up to the next area. Go up and
you’ll see that there’s something blocking your way.
It’s kind of like a plant. Well, go down the only
available path to the right. Here you’ll have the
choice of two paths. Go to the left to get a Mind
Purifier. These will be handy in the upcoming fight.
Go back and down the other path. Go past the first
doorway, and go up the vine. Follow the path until you
see a plant-type thing and press X next to it. It will
fall down, and so will the other plant next to it. Now
you can get to the chest with a Spirit Potion.
Continue and get the next set of plants down. This
will open up part of the main path. Continue on this
one and down another vine to another area with a Body
Purifier. These will also be very helpful. Now go all
the way back to the doorway you went past before. Go
in here and follow the path until you see another
plant. Touch it and get a Bravery Amulet. Now go all
the way back to the first path you came to that was
originally blocked. Go up, and SAVE. This would be a
good time to train, as you have a nice healing pool
down stairs; but if you don’t, head up.
Here you’ll see a man at the far end. Lavitz will
recognize him as the man who betrayed his father Servi,
Greham. Your party rushes forward to talk to him. It
is explained that Greham betrayed Lavitz’s father, King
Albert, and everybody else in Serdio and defected to
the dark side with Emperor Doel. The emperor gave him
a Dragoon Spirit as a result, and he finally was able
to be more powerful than Lavitz’s father, Servi. When
Rose asks where the Dragoon Spirit came from, he
answers saying that Emperor Diaz gave Emperor Doel the
Dragoon Spirit; and Rose replies saying that Emperor
Diaz died 11,000 years ago. Greham says that he
doesn’t care if she believes or not, but he’s gonna
show them the power he attained. Then Feyrbrand comes
out and stands over your party.

Name: Feyrbrand
HP: 450
Element: Wind
Name: Greham
HP: 350

Recommended Party: Dart, Rose, and Lavitz
Difficulty: Moderate
Experience: 1200
Gold: 100
Item: Down Burst
Okay, first of all, Feyrbrand is most definitely not
what he’s been cracked up to be. Greham is the toughy
here. I always kill Feyrbrand first because he’s just
annoying. He attacks with all the poison/stun/fear
effects behind them. He has a worse defense than
Greham, too. Rose’s Astral Drain has a great effect on
him. If you have trained a lot, Rose might be a level
2 Dragoon. If she is, you can use Death Dimension.
After you kill him, he’ll vanish, and now move on to
Greham.
If you have any earth-based attack items, use them
on this guy. He has a better defense and attack than
Feyrbrand, so you won’t do quite as much damage. All
you can do is keep pounding him and healing when you
get low on HP. When you finally kill him, he’ll say,
“Ugh, I got a deep gash.” He’ll fall to the ground,
and you’ll be done!
___________________
Now, your people talk to Greham as he dies in front
of you. After he disappears, his Dragoon Spirit rises
into the air and hangs in front of Lavitz! This means
it chose him!! Rose thinks, “It’s too much of a
coincidence… It can’t be… or is this fate?!” Lavitz
accepts his fate as a Dragoon! Shana suddenly goes
into another weak lapse. Suddenly, she can’t go on.
They can’t take her back to Bale; it’s too far. Lavitz
suggests that we go to Lohan, the neighboring town,
where there is a great doctor. We decide on that.
Once you gain control, head forward and climb up the
net thing until you reach the top. Head out and you’re
on the World Map.
Go west to Lohan.

Lohan

Stardust: 4
Dart walks in carrying Shana. He comments on how
crowded the town is for being in the middle of a war,
and Shana responds saying that if she were well, it
would be fun. Then you appear in the clinic of the
town with Shana lying on the bed. The doctor explains
that she has a week to live, unless your party can find
some Dragoni Plant. He also says that it is the mind
that is poisoned, not the body. Now you appear outside
in the town of Lohan. What you want to do here is
explore. Go in the door directly to the right and go
to the left to get 200G. Head back out. Go up the
stairs, but ignore the front door. That’s just a bar.
Go up into the inn and stay there. No need to go down
either staircase here. Just leave. Now go down to the
left. Skip the first door and go on to the next.
Climb up the ladder and press X next to the bookcase.
A secret passage will open and you’ll be on the other
side. Climb down the other ladder and check the
fireplace for a (1) Stardust. Go back out. Just
ignore the door to the right. Go down the stairs.
Go past the first door and on to the second. This
is the item shop. Stock up and head back out. Go up
the stairs to the left and go into the weapon shop.
Get everything necessary in here and go back out. Go
down the stairs and across the bridge to the other
side. There’s nothing important in the first yellow
door, so go on to the blue one. Look, Dabas is here!!
When you come in, you remember each other and start
talking. He offers to give you anything you need at
“Dabas’ Antiques.” Dart gets the idea that he might
have Dragoni Plant and asks about it. He doesn’t have
it; however, he has heard of it before. He pulls out a
book and reads out that it’s in the back of Shirley’s
Shrine that we can get to past a “troublesome plant” in
the forest. Rose says you can’t get past the plant
until you purify it with something. Lavitz suggests
the puddle in the dragon’s nest, and suddenly, the
three of them charge out. However, go back in and
climb up the ladders until you come upon a suit of
armor. Check it for a (2) Stardust. Now head back
out.
Go across the bridge and down the stairs. Continue,
and a vendor dude will invite you to come buy
something. Because you need something to hold the
water, sidle on over there and talk to him. He offers
you a bottle for 100,000,000G. There is absolutely no
way you can pay for this. As you walk away, he offers
it for 3,000G. Keep asking him to knock it down until
he gives it to you free. You’ll be in the first
screen, but go back. Head straight to the back, past
the stairs. Get the box for 100G, then check the
basket for a (3) Stardust. This time go to the first
screen in the town. Check the barrels of rain water on
the far side of the street near the entrance to get a
(4) Stardust. Now head out of town and you’ll be on
the World Map.
Head east to the Nest of Dragon.
<--------------->
Nest of Dragon
<--------------->
You might as well hop right down into the nest so
you can get the water. Press X next to the water to
get it in the bottle. Then climb up and go to where you
fought Feyrbrand. Climb up the net and hop across the
little creek. Go to the place with the plant. Go up
to the plant and press X. You sprinkle water on it and
it wilts. Now go through and you’ll be on the World
Map again.
Head north-east to Shirley’s Shrine.

Go up and get the chest that says, “You lost, okay!”
Continue on until Rose stops and points out an
inscription of a dragon on the wall. You all take out
your Dragoon Spirits and they all resonate together,
even the dragon on the wall. Rose goes ahead; she
seems to know what’s going on here. You automatically
continue on to the next screen. Read the signs if you
want; they’re pretty funny. Go to the right and get
the chest above you that this time says, “You thought
there’s treasure, huh!?” Go back down and get the
chest at the far left—“Give up will ya!”—and check the
silver statue. It says “Statue facing left.” Remember
that. Hop over the rocks and you’ll see another
inscription of a dragon. It will automatically heal
you, and now head back out to the second screen. Now
go in the left path.
Go across and turn the wheel, which opens a door
downstairs. Now hop across and get the chest (“There’s
nothing in here, don’t you get it!?”). Go back and
this time go through the newly opened door. Hop over
the rocks and check the gold statue that says, “Statue
facing front.” Remember that, too. Go back out and
finally go up the stairs. Head up until you come upon
a number lock. Now, you can go up and go down a slide
telling you all the numbers, but if you do that, you
need to go all the way back through the shrine. So you
don’t have to, I’ll tell you what it is: 3-5-2. That
simple. Now go climb up the ladder at the top of the
next flight of stairs, and you’ll be facing another
with a gold and silver statue on either side. Remember
earlier? Those other statues? This is where you apply
that information. Turn the silver statue facing left
and the gold one facing front. Now go up the stairs.
Go to the left and get a chest (“What a merry guy
you are!”), and then SAVE. Also, if Dart and Rose are
not level 2 Dragoons right now, make it so. That is
very helpful for this battle. Now go up to the open
area. Arrows will suddenly shoot out at you, and a
bandit named Drake pops up. Dart insists that he means
no harm and only wants some Dragoni Plant, but Drake
doesn’t believe him. He attacks you.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Experience: 1500
Gold: 100
Item: Bandit’s Ring
The main thing on this guy is all his traps. He
throws out Bursting Balls that roll into your people
and do a lot of damage, and he throws up a net so you
can’t hit him. Don’t turn into a Dragoon yet. Save
that for when he throws out his Bursting Balls. Use
Rose’s Death Dimension or Dart’s Explosion to get rid
of them. You might need to use a Sun Rhapsody or two,
so watch your MP. After a while, he’ll use a recovery
item, healing him 360 HP. But he’s not that hard.
Just use your strongest Additions, and you’ll slowly
wear him down.
___________________
After that battle, Drake is lying on the ground.
Suddenly a ghost-like person appears hovering in the
air. This is Shirley. She asks them what they’re
doing here, and Dart says that they are saving their
friend’s life by trying to find some Dragoni Plant.
Rose walks in and asks if Shirley remembers her. She
looks at her for a while, and then remembers. She
comments that Rose is still on her “sad journey since
then,” and they talk for a while. Apparently, they
know each other. Dart brings the conversation back to
his objectives and asks for some Dragoni Plant. She
sadly says that she doesn’t have any, and Dart is
heartbroken. When she says that there is a way to save
her, Dart’s spirits lift a little higher. She shows
them the Dragoon Spirit that was resonating at the
beginning of this place. She explains how this Dragoon
Spirit can heal her. But before you can have it, she
must deem you worthy.

This is super easy. Guard the entire time, and
don’t attack her at all; all you have to do is answer
some questions. These are the correct answers:
1. To protect those we love.
2. To pursue the Black Monster.
3. Of course, get revenge!
4. Shana.
5. That’s not like you!
6. Shana needs me!
7. No matter what, I will go.
8. Mother.
9. Nothing but sacrifice.
See? Super-easy.
___________________
Now Shirley will give you the Dragoon Spirit, but
asks you to save Drake before you leave. Dart can’t do
it by himself, though; he needs to use his Dragoon
Spirit, too. He heals Drake, and Dart is now confident
in healing Shana. Shirley disappears as she says
something about meeting Rose again. Now go into the
very back, where you’ll find seven chests with 20G, one
with a Demon Stiletto for Rose, and one with a Healing
Breeze. Now head out, save if you want, and go back
down until right before the number lock. I have a
little shortcut to use to get out of here. Head left
up the stairs. Hit X when it pops up, and you’ll go
down a slide (if you didn’t use it earlier) on to a
roller coaster type-thing. Now you’ll be in the first
screen. Go out to the World Map.
Head south-west to Nest of Dragon.

Now we have to get to the clinic. Go into the next
part of town, go up the stairs, go under the overpass,
and go up to the nearest door with a yellow arrow over
it. Go left to Shana. Dart will tell the man that
they couldn’t find Dragoni Plant, but goes over and
lays the Dragoon Spirit on Shana’s lap. He stands
back, getting ready to heal her with his Dragoon
Spirit, but the one on Shana’s lap starts shining
first!! Nobody knows what’s going on, except Rose, of
course. Suddenly, Shana is all better and sitting up
in bed! Finally, it clicked that she is a Dragoon,
too, and Rose says that Shana healed herself with her
own power. The doctor checks her out and says she’s
completely healed. Everybody else pulls out their own
Dragoon Spirits, showing that all four of your
characters are now Dragoons! Then the doctor complains
about the light emanating from their spirits and asks
them to put them away. They do so, and then the doctor
says something about the Hero Competition. Out of
nowhere, Dart intends to enter it.
Now you appear outside again. Go down to the bottom
of the screen and down the stairs. Now go right and
all the way up into the Arena. Head to the right and
down. Talk to the person behind the counter to enter.
Dart is the only one who does, though. Lavitz is a
knight of Basil and can’t compete in these things.
Rose and Shana just plain don’t want to. As everyone
wishes Dart good luck, Lavitz tells you not to turn
into a Dragoon; it’ll create a big mess. Go down and
save, then go back up. Now go into the room right next
to the counter. Down here is a man and a soldier who
looks just like a Hellena guard fighting with each
other. There are also three other people: two warriors
and a guy with silver hair. The man knocks out the
soldier, and Dart recognizes him as Haschel! They’ve
apparently met before and strike up a conversation, but
are interrupted by the commentator. The competition is
starting. Just talk to the guy and you’ll start the
match. Do so after every match. Here’s a list of the
competitors, their HP, and their elements:
1. Gorgaga
HP: 170
Element: Non-Elemental
Strategy: Just keep hitting him with your
Addition.
He starts out poisoning you, so I hope
you
have a Body Purifier.
2. Serfius
HP: 200
Element: Fire
Strategy: Exactly the same as above except without
the poison. And perhaps use a Spear
Frost.
3. Danton
HP: 270
Element: Earth
Strategy: Same except when he puts down his hammer
And holds up his arms, don’t attack him,
just guard. Also, maybe use a wind
attack
item if you have one.
4. Atlow
HP: 300
Element: Dark
Strategy: Almost the same. Use a Light-based item
if
you have one. Also, after he attacks
you
in the knee, thigh, and chest, guard the
next turn you get. After he attacks
your
head, he does this really powerful
attack
that both hurts and causes fear.
After this battle, Dart will ask Haschel if they’re
meeting in the final match, but he says that he was
beaten by a tremendous sword master named Lloyd. And
just our luck, we get to fight him. Then he pops in,
and Dart introduces himself. Lloyd responds with the
eerie answer of “Indeed. I dedicate this match to what
fate has in store for us.” Then you’re interrupted
once more by the commentator.
5. Lloyd
HP: ???
Element: Non-Elemental
Strategy: There is no possible way to beat this
guy.
Just keep attacking him or guarding
until
the battle’s over.
Lloyd ends up winning the competition, Dart comes in
second, and Haschel in third. Haschel and Dart come up
to talk to Lloyd. Dart said that he was no match for
Lloyd, and Lloyd says that Dart will have to be
stronger, meaning we know not what. Just then, Lavitz
comes in and tells Dart to come out; but before they
leave, he asks Lloyd to a match someday. Lloyd says
he’ll think about it and leaves. Dart then invites
Haschel to meet his friends, and they all come out
together. Go up to the previous screen. Shana and
Rose are waiting for you there, and Shana congratulates
Dart on second place. Dart introduces Haschel, and
Haschel makes a comment about Shana being in love.
Dart quickly steps in and says that they don’t have
that kind of a relationship. Dart quickly changes the
subject and tells her that he and Haschel met when Dart
was on his quest pursuing the Black Monster. This is
the first time Dart has mentioned this in front of
Rose, and she appears to recognize the name. Rose
introduces herself rather bluntly, and Haschel asks
which one is Dart’s sweetheart. Dart has no idea what
he’s talking about, and he has apparently told Haschel
how he feels about Shana many times. Haschel says
right out loud in front of Shana that he loves her like
a baby sister, and Shana goes into a fit of giggles.
Lavitz breaks it up saying that Dart will go around the
Arena with Shana, and he can go with Rose. He starts
dragging her along, but she promptly slaps him good and
hard so that he falls down. Lavitz only really wanted
to get Dart some alone-time with Shana, so he says that
he’s just pretending. Haschel starts to go off with
Shana, and Lavitz butts in saying that Dart was
supposed to go with her, not Haschel. Haschel,
however, was just being his usual joking self. Lavitz
gives you three tickets, and now you can go out with
Shana and do whatever you want. You do have to go to
at least one place, though. I would also suggest that
you buy enough tickets to trade for a Healing Rain at
the desk. They are the best thing in the world, and
you can’t buy them anywhere.
After you’re done, go back and talk to Lavitz. Dart
will immediately start talking about reporting to King
Albert. Lavitz pulls Dart outside for a quick chat.
He asks if he held Shana’s hand, and Dart replies that
since she’s so grown up, he doesn’t need to hold her
hand. ***snicker*** Lavitz can see that Dart has no
idea what he’s talking about. Dart insists that he
can’t change how he feels about Shana. Lavitz points
out that Shana loves him in a different way, and Dart
complains that he doesn’t want Shana involved in his
journey to pursue the Black Monster. Lavitz says that
revenge doesn’t solve anything, as he rightly knows,
and urges Dart to pay attention to the present, what’s
right in front of him: Shana. They agree to have a
drink in Bale after the war is over, and Lavitz goes
back inside. Dart chases after him, and now you’re
free to train Shana as a Dragoon. Now leave the town.
But before you can leave, a Knight of Basil comes in
with numerous arrows in his back. He tries to tell
Lavitz that Sandoras attacked Bale and took King Albert
into captivity. He manages to say that King Albert is
in Hellena prison before he dies. Lavitz becomes
frantic and rushes out to save King Albert, but Dart
holds him back. He tells him to calm down, but Lavitz
doesn’t. Finally, Haschel comes, jumps over Dart and
Lavitz, and punches Lavitz in the belly. He passes
out, and you’re in the clinic. When Lavitz wakes up,
Haschel calls him an idiot for being so freaked out and
rushing that quickly. We’re the only ones who can save
King Albert now, but not if we don’t keep our cool.
Haschel says that Bale is under occupation, so none of
the other knights can come to King Albert’s aid, and
that he offered himself up so the people wouldn’t be
harmed. Dart says that we will now be heading to
Hellena to free King Albert from the enemy’s clutches.
Haschel decides to go with you, and we all charge out…
again. Now, leave the town for real.
Head southeast to Hellena Prison.
<--------------->
Hellena Prison
<--------------->
Minor Enemies:
Name: Hellena Warden
HP: 120
Element: Fire
Name: Senior Warden
HP: 150
Element: Dark
When you enter, Lavitz jumps in and makes sure that
the bridge is down. Dart runs in. Next you’ll see
Fruegel somewhere, two Hellena wardens, and King Albert
all tattered and worn. Apparently, Fruegel is to keep
him alive, but he’s going to kill him anyway, just as
soon as he can see the sun rising over the hill. Then
a warden rushes in saying that there are intruders, led
by Lavitz and “a man in red armor.” Now Fruegel is
furious, but sure that they will die with King Albert.
This time in here, you must have Lavitz in your
party. If you fight the first guy, he’ll say that King
Albert is on the top level of the prison. So that’s
where we’re headed—up. Go around and head in the door
directly to the left, where you’ll see the merchant
again. Buy stuff from him, save if you want, and head
back out. Fight the guy out here and go down the path
to the left. Go up the lift at the end, and you’ll be
in a new area. Get off the lift.
Go in the door, then go in the one to your right for
a Felt Hat, then follow the path for a Therapy Ring.
Whatever you do, NEVER SELL THIS!!!! You will very
much need it when you get to the fourth disc. However,
if you ever happen to mistakenly sell it, there is just
one other place where you can get one. But more of
that later. Now head all the way back and go through
the first doorway to the left of the one you first came
in. Go up the lift for a Thunderbolt. Now, instead of
going down the lift, go to the right and press X to
slide down a rope. Get the Silver Embroidered Vest and
slide down the next rope. Go in the door and the one
furthest to the left. Go up the lift for a
Pandemonium. Go back down and up the ladder next to
the first lift you took. Get the Leather Armor and go
back down, get into the lift, and this time go
upstairs.
Go into the corner for a Healing Potion and go over
the bridge. Go straight down, and you’ll be ambushed
by Wardens. One guy pulls a lever, and you fall down
into a cave under you. You can hear a creature
growling in the background. After you’re done talking,
get the chest with a Sachet, talk to Shana, and then
check the crack that Shana is in front of. Dart will
say that she’s right about a draft coming from the gap;
therefore there must be a way out. But just then, the
creature starts growling again.

Difficulty: Moderately Difficult
Experience: 2000
Gold: 100
Item: Sachet
First, use the Sachet on him, and he’ll go to sleep.
There’s no telling how long this will last, so you had
better get to pounding him. He has a great defense but
not as much of a magic defense, so if you have MP, have
Rose use her Astral Drain. It’s pretty effective. Use
your special if you have enough SP for everybody, and
use those Magic Attacks! Except for Lavitz. Have him
use his D-Attack. Jiango also has an attack that
confuses you. This is just absolutely terrible, so I
hope you have a LOT of Mind Purifiers. All you can do
is attack him as much as possible.
___________________
After that, the rock falls away, and you can go
through. Shana stalls a little bit, but when she’s
done, follow the path. You’ll have to fight some guys
along the way, but just power through them. Get the
chest along the way with a Healing Potion in it and go
up to the next screen. Continue through the men to the
next, fight the guys here, and go north if you want to
re-stock on items. If not, go through the doorway to
the left. Climb the stairs, killing the guys as you
go. In the next area, get the chests—top one, Broad
Sword; middle one, Spear; bottom one, 20G—and SAVE!!!
You have a big battle coming up, although, if you beat
that Jiango, this one will almost be a breeze. Make
sure you have the people you want (hopefully Rose), and
you’re set! Head up the stairs, where Fruegel is still
waiting for the sun to rise. Fruegel says that even
though Emperor Doel said not to, he’s going to kill him
before the one with the silver hair gets there… He
raises his club, and Shana hits him with an arrow.
Your party appears, armed, ready to fight.

In this battle, use your Special right away. I
would kill Rodriguez, Guftas, and then Fruegel, but no
matter what, the battle’s over when you kill Fruegel.
First, if Lavitz is a level 2 Dragoon, use Blossom
Storm so that he doesn’t do as much damage to your
party. Other than that, use your D-Attacks until the
other two are gone, then unleash all your magic on
Fruegel. He’s really not that hard until he uses a
Power Up. But still, he’s a goner. After you kill
him, Lavitz this time will come up and spear him right
through.
___________________
Now you will have a scene.
***SPOILER ALERT***
The man in the hood you saw before appears, sticks
his hand INTO King Albert’s body, and then pulls out an
orb. He calls it the Moon Gem. Lavitz is so furious
that he turns into a Dragoon and bears down on him, but
then the man pulls out a mysterious sword that Rose
recognizes and stabs Lavitz right through. The man is
revealed to be—gasp—Lloyd! Dart runs forward to help,
but then Lloyd is already gone, and Lavitz is on the
ground, fatally wounded. Lavitz says goodbye, and then
dies. His Dragoon Spirit flies into the air and then
down into King Albert’s hands.
***END SPOILERS***
Congratulations! My favorite character by far, Albert,
has joined your party!
After that battle, you are back in Seles. Dart,
Shana, and Haschel start uncovering an underground
shelter. Albert comes over to help, but Dart won’t let
the king work. Albert says that it’s better for him to
be moving, so Dart lets him. Your party goes down into
the shelter, where Albert thanks Dart and Lavitz for
saving him. Albert starts saying how Lavitz had
finally found people he could call his friends, and
now, how Albert understands what he meant by that. He
says that Lavitz was his best knight, and friend. Rose
says that Lloyd had a Dragon Buster, an ancient sword
Winglies used in the Dragon Campaign; and if she had
known that Lloyd had it, she would have stopped Lavitz.
When you gain control, go talk to everybody.
Albert now offers up information regarding the Moon
Gem the man took from him. 11,000 years ago, Winglies
ruled the earth, but were defeated by the humans. Soon
thereafter, they all disappeared. However, they had
powerful objects scattered around the world. One went
to Serdio, and has been sealed inside the body of each
king. That object is the one that was taken from
Albert, the Moon Gem. When Rose asks how the man found
out about it, Albert says that he employed Lloyd as an
advisor, but he must have been working for Emperor
Doel. Rose says that that makes sense: Emperor Doel
would now have the object to truly make him king. But
Dart interjects that Basil is not finished because
Albert is still alive. Rose points out that he has no
hope because he doesn’t have a castle or an army.
However, Albert says that because they are Dragoons,
they can fight Emperor Doel himself, who resides in the
Black Castle. Everyone agrees that they will do this,
and Albert says he will come along, too.
Next you see a screenshot of the Black Castle, and
Lloyd talking to Emperor Doel. They talk about
Hellena’s fall, but apparently, Lloyd got exactly what
he needed. Doel says that he will soon be King of
Serdio, and Lloyd’s plan will be complete. However,
Lloyd says that it’s only just starting.
Now you need to go through the Forest and south to
Kazas, the capital of Imperial Sandora.
<------------->
Kazas
<------------->
Stardust: 6
We’re finally here. Go into the doorway to the
left, but not the inn. Check in between the barrels
for a (1) Stardust. Go back out and into the place
directly across the street. Climb the ladder for an
Attack Ball, and check the stuff for a (2) Stardust.
Go back out and into the room just above this one to
get a Twister Glaive for Albert. Now go into the inn
on the other side and rest. Go into the weapon shop
with the blue arrow. In here you’ll encounter a guy
who claims that he has killed the dragon Feyrbrand and
is trying to sell one of his feathers. Then a soldier
who overheard the conversation comes in asking for the
person who killed Feyrbrand. I’m sure Dart put on his
most innocent face, but they end up going after the
other guy anyway because he tried to walk out. Now
check the ground next to the counter for a (3)
Stardust. Talk to the guy and get what you need. Head
out and go up.
If you try to go across the bridge, you’ll see that
it’s being guarded, so you’re going to have to find
another way in. For some reason storming the front
gate with two guards is more difficult then going the
long way around and killing twenty. Go around and down
the hill. Continue down and go into the first room.
Check the bookcase for a (4) Stardust. Now go down the
ladder on the far left. Continue down the path and go
into the next room. Talk to the guy on the right for
some items. Check the barrels at the bottom for a (5)
Stardust. Check the other ones near the stairs for
another (6) Stardust. There’s also a clinic up here if
somebody is poisoned or something. Now go into the
last room. You’ll talk to this little kid about the
Serdian War and joining the New Serdio Party. Here
you’ll have to answer some questions. Here are the
answers:
1. I cannot say which.
2. Take care at home.
3. To protect something.
You are then permitted to enter, and the boy (Popo)
suddenly recognizes Albert. Then he’s so excited about
his coming to help with the war that he shows you a new
way into the castle. Now, save, and then follow the
path up to the secret entrance. At the entrance, they
promise to defeat Doel, and Rose goes on ahead. The
crew follows her down. Now, go to the right and up the
rope. Go down the first rope for 20G. Go back up and
ignore the first rope you come to, but go down the
second. Same thing here. Now just follow the path
until you’re inside the Black Castle.

Black Castle

Minor Enemies:

Just follow the path, killing anybody in your way.
After two guards, get the chest with a Spark Net in it.
Continue. Go down the ladder in the next area, and
you’ll have to fight the guards. Then head forward
toward the castle. Go in the door to your right. When
you come up on the purple stuff in the middle of the
room, the two scientists will come up and talk to you.
They’ll talk about the dragon, their science, and a man
called Mr. Magi. Also, they will give you some magic
oil, so that you can operate the lifts and things.
After that, go talk to the dude with the white flame,
and he will heal you. Go to the right, and press X
when next to the purple thing in the wall. This will
activate the lift. Now climb into it, and it will take
you down. Just go across to the other lift. Down
here, there is a garbage guy who operates things. What
you have to do is get to the other side without being
caught under the garbage. If you are, you’ll be sent
down with it. Down here, get the chests: one at the
top, Dark Mist; at the bottom, Trans Light. Go back up
and try it again. Once you get across, get the chest
with a Red Stone and go back, all the way to the
entrance hall of the castle. This time, go left up the
lift on the left.
Fight the guard and continue into the next room. Go
all the way down and talk to the guy, who is, in fact,
Mr. Magi. After the humorous conversation, go and get
the chest with a Blue Stone. Now go back to the same
room you went back to earlier, fight the guards, and go
up the lift. Head to the right and talk to the
merchant for some items. Go up the stairs and into the
room for a Beast Fang for Haschel. Go out and continue
to the right. Go up the lift and fight the guards.
(They stupidly go after you one at a time.) Go to the
right (not up the lift) and fight the guard here. Go
up the stairs and into the next room. Here you’ll have
to fight another Sandora Elite, but he’s not really a
boss battle. Just beat him and continue. Go down the
lift for a Spinning Gale. Go across on the other weird
lift for a Spear Frost at the bottom and a Spirit Ring
to the right. Go back, to the left, and down the
stairs. This time go down the lift and to the left.
Go up the lift and into the other one.
Talk to the guy in here, who is the person who
attacked Seles. He admits to this, but not killing
everybody. He explains that only the people loyal to
Fruegel did that. He asks that you would awaken the
soul of Emperor Doel and gives you the Yellow Stone,
the key to the throne room. Now leave and go in the
other lift to your left. This time choose to go
upstairs to the fourth floor. In this room, go around
the statue of the goddess and put in the three stones.
Just go next to the thing with the triangle on it.
After you put them in, the door at the base of the
statue opens, and now you need to SAVE!!! You have one
of the hardest battles in the game coming up. Now go
up the lift in the statue and around. But before you
can reach the throne room, Kongol comes out!

Difficulty: Moderate
Experience: 2000
Gold: 200
Item: None
Once again, magic attacks are very effective here;
however, he will eventually throw up a Magic Shield so
you can’t use these. Don’t have everyone use their
Dragoon forms, just one or two people; you’ll need that
for the next battle. Albert’s Rose Storm is very
useful here, as always. If you use your magic, though,
remember later to go back down to get healed. Other
than that, just keep hitting him with attacks, and
eventually, you’ll have him.
___________________
Rose knocks off Kongol’s armor after that, and Dart
stops her from killing him. Now you want to go re-
stock on items, get healed, etc. After that, come back
up and SAVE. Then go back up and enter Doel’s chamber.
In here, we discover that Emperor Doel is Albert’s
uncle, he killed Albert’s dad Carlo 20 years ago, and
that he only took away Shana because Lloyd said to find
her “by the time the Moon That Never Sets waxes…” Then
he attacks you.

Just hit this guy with Additions. He’ll die soon
enough. Don’t turn into Dragoons, though.
But wait, that’s not the end. I’m sure you thought
that this battle would be tougher, right? Well, you
were correct. He now turns into a Dragoon.

==================
Name: Dragoon Doel
HP: 1450
Element: Thunder
Recommended Party: Dart, Rose, and Albert
Difficulty: Difficult
Experience: 3000
Gold: 200
Item: None
Okay, this guy is a toughy. If Dart is a level 3
Dragoon (I applaud you if he is), his Final Burst is
amazing. Most likely he isn’t, though. Doel’s worst
attack is this great big one where he has a cloud made
of lightning in the sky that he sends down on you and
REALLY hurts, especially Albert. This would be a great
time to use your Dragoon Special. Use your strongest
magic, and have Albert use Rose Storm on his last turn
as a Dragoon. Use a Sun Rhapsody whenever necessary,
and use Rose Storm whenever Albert can turn into a
Dragoon again as long as the three turns for it are up.
About when he has half-health, he’ll put up a shield
that is impenetrable. Just guard until it’s gone,
because the longer you attack him, the longer the
shield stays up.
All I can say is watch your health and do your best.
Use an Angel’s Prayer immediately (or almost, at least)
on anybody who is downed. However, if they keep dying
as soon as you revive them, give up on it until the end
of the battle (that might happen with Shana). Good
luck.
When this guy is dead, Dart will slash him, and
you’ll have yet another scene.
___________________
Doel is falling to the ground and is dying. He
tells them to pursue Lloyd in country of Tiberoa.
Lloyd knows everything, and he’ll tell you everything
you need to know. His Dragoon Spirit goes into the
ceiling, and your experience is given out. After that,
Albert says that this is the end of our journey, but
Dart disagrees. It all started when Shana was taken
away, and he wants to know why. He’s going after
Lloyd. Shana, of course, says she’ll go with him.
Albert then agrees to go with him, and then Rose. But
because Rose is going, Haschel decides not to. But he
is interrupted when the Dragoon Spirit of Emperor Doel
comes down to him. What do you know, Haschel is a
Dragoon, too! Rose says, “When Dragoons meet, blood
will flow, and as they leave, time does slow.”
This is the end of the first disc and Chapter 1:
Serdian War. You should now have 20 Stardust.
<-------------------------------->
Chapter 2: Platinum Shadow
<-------------------------------->
This is now the second disc and chapter of The
Legend of Dragoon. This is the shortest chapter, but
also my favorite. I think you’ll find this one very
enjoyable.
<------------->
Fletz
<------------->
Stardust: 5
This chapter starts out in a town called Fletz.
Lloyd is here, moving so fast that the camera has to
pause for us to see him. Just then, your party comes
in. First, go up the stairs to the roof of the
building right next to the church and check the table
for a (1) Stardust. Go down and go across the bridge
that crosses the stream flowing through the town. Here
our party has conversation about the name Claire. You
discover some interesting facts about Dart and
Haschel... I have full confidence you can piece that
together.
Now go further into the town; drop by the weapon
shop to the north before you head to the next screen.
Check the sword, crossbow, mace, etc. thing near the
front for a (2) Stardust. Get anything you might need
from the guy and head out. Now go up and into the
nearest shop. Check the stuff at the bottom, left-hand
corner of the screen for a (3) Stardust. Buy anything
you want and go out and up into the next shop.
Before you can get there, however, there is a
disturbance. Princess Emille is coming down out of the
castle, and everybody is freaked out. She comes down,
and she certainly isn’t pleasant. A woman comes out
asking her to name her soon-to-be-born baby, but
Princess Emille doesn’t like this very much, and the
woman starts crying about how her husband was killed by
bandits. The princess is very taken aback by the
comment on bandits and tells the pregnant woman to go
away. She goes back up to the castle. Meanwhile,
Albert is in a lapse of disbelief. Now you are free to
move again.
Go into the only shop you haven’t gone into yet: the
item shop. Check the huge telescope at the top for a
(4) Stardust. Talk to the guy, and, by the way, you
can now by Healing Breezes!!!! Stock up on them;
you’ll be using them more than Healing Potions now. In
order to be able to fit all the stuff you want into
your pack, here’s what I recommend holding:
~9 Healing Potions
~9 Healing Breezes
~2 Sun Rhapsodies
~5 Angel’s Prayers
~2 Mind Purifiers
~2 Body Purifiers
~Anything else you might want
Now leave and go across the bridge. Go down into the
first screen and go up the stairs to the right of the
inn. Go up and check the boxes of wine bottles for a
(5) Stardust. Now go in the bar, and you’ll hear
Dabas’s music. A woman name Kaffi invites you in, and
you all come out of Dart and circle all the way around
the center table. She asks if you’re new, and either
way you choose, you’ll still come around to the fact
that you are. She introduces the town saying that they
worship stars. Albert reminds you that you are here to
look for Lloyd, not learn about stars. When she asks
this next question, tell her that you aren’t. Dart
explains that they are looking for a guy named Lloyd.
She thinks about it for a while, but can’t seem to
think of somebody named Lloyd. Now when she asks if
you are still interested in stars, say yes, and she’ll
advise you to go to Fester’s house. This man is an
astronomer who is crazy about the Moon That Never Sets
and its connection with the Black Monster. That sparks
Dart’s interest, so you decide to go there.
Well, all this chatting has lasted until dark. Now
leave and go to the house to the left of the inn. Dart
rings the bell, but nobody comes to the door. When
Shana gives it a try, Fester answers and comes to the
door. He invites you in, and here you’ll ask him about
the Moon. He goes to get materials and comes back.
Now you get to see a movie. He explains that every 108
years, the Moon That Never Sets glows red, signaling
the coming of the Moon Child. The Moon Child is
supposed to bestow a holy blessing on the world, but
instead, the Black Monster is sent. Then you see the
Black Monster, although it’s through flame and
unrecognizable. It is burning a town, which I think is
Neet, where Dart was born. (I kinda gathered that from
the surrounding coniferous trees and snow. That’s what
all of Mille Seseau is like.) After that, he says that
he is the governor of Princess Lisa as well as an
astronomer. He rushes out to the castle. If you want,
you can climb up the ladder and look at the Moon That
Never Sets. Otherwise, leave.
Now, if you try to leave town, the soldiers here
will stop you, saying that you are not allowed to go
out of town for your protection from bandits. So now
go over the bridge to a house with a wooden table and
chairs on top. Go in, and there will be a guy there
talking about bringing green back to the world. When
he asks you if you are interested, say yes, and he and
Albert will start chatting about it. Dart figures that
since there’s no place to stay tonight (whatever
happened to the inn?), they can just stay all night
here while Albert and Nello talk. Shana goes over and
looks at some flower buds. Dart and Shana flirt a
little more, and then your stay overnight is
complete. Now, go back as if you are going to leave.
Dart is concerned that Lloyd is not here, and Albert
assures him that Doel was himself again right before he
died, meaning that he told the truth. Then Rose makes
a comment about the king being around such interesting
people. Haschel then says that he actually thought for
a while that Albert was going to be ordering them
around everywhere. Albert asks them to stop teasing
him and treat him like an equal. Dart says a sentence
of gratification with some very big words in it to
Albert, and Albert says not to mention his being a
king. He also suggests that we go to the other town in
Tiberoa, Donau. We decide to go there. Now, if you
are ready, leave Fletz.
Head north to the Barrens.

We’ll be using this place a LOT, so it’s helpful if
you learn it. (You might not have a choice.) First,
go to the right to get a Warrior Dress for Haschel.
Continue along the path into the next screen. Here
you’ll come upon some of those bandits you’ve been
hearing about. This guy’s name is Mappi, and trust me,
by the end of this disc, you’ll HATE him. This ugly
group introduces themselves as the Gehrich Gang. Dart
insults them, and they get a little angry. Albert says
that they don’t have anything to give them except a
miserable ending. They get even madder, and Dart and
Rose draw their swords. Now you have to fight them.

This isn’t necessarily a boss battle, but it’s a
step up from the other random battles. It’s really
easy. Kill the thieves, then Mappi. Mappi’ll
disappear until you kill the other two. Just use good
attacks. Also, you can use Final Burst if you really
want to and you have reached Dragoon Level 3. However,
watch out for Mappi’s Can’t Combat attack, too.
___________________
Now you’ll have a scene of Mappi begging for mercy from
Dart, but then knocks the Dragoon Spirit out of his
grasp. They both lunge for it, but Mappi gets it and
runs off… Now Dart can’t turn into a Dragoon...
Now head on toward Donau. Go to the right and go in
the doorway for a Recovery Ball. Go back down and
follow the path until you get the chest with 50G. Head
on out to the World Map.
Head north to Donau.
<------------->
Donau
<------------->
Stardust: 2
When you enter, a girl will welcome you with a
trembling voice. When you thank her, she is relieved
that you aren’t bandits. After some conversation (and
some Shana-Dart flirting), you’ll see some bandits
cornering a woman in a different part of town. He says
that she is a Sacred Sister of Mille Seseau. She calls
for help, and who should pop up but Lloyd. She asks
him for help, and he stops. The bandits tell him to go
away, but he draws his sword. The bandits then round
on him; one comes at him, but he blows him away.
Literally. The other two are so freaked out that they
all run away. The woman thanks him and asks his name.
He says his name is Lloyd and leaves.
Now that you have control, check the pool on the
left closer to the center of town for a (1) Stardust.
Go in the inn if you like and rest and/or save. Now go
out and into the house closest to the entrance of town.
In here, a woman named Kate tells you of her problems:
her fiancée, Lynn, has left to negotiate with the
Gehrich gang to pull the bandits out of the city.
Apparently, there is no negotiation with them, and Kate
is worried out of her mind. She gives you the letter
Lynn wrote to give to the mayor, Lynn’s father. Now
leave and go to the left. Go up the stairs and into
the house. Talk to the butler blocking your way, and
he will usher you in. After he reads the letter, the
mayor is concerned, of course, and says that a rescue
party is going to have to go after Lynn. Dart,
however, says that he and his companions will go
instead, since the gang already took something very
important from him. The mayor is very relieved at this
and agrees. He tells you that they come from the
Valley of Corrupted Gravity. Go up and check the sink
for a (2) Stardust.
Now leave, and on your way down, you’ll hear a girl
talking to some bandits. This girl has silver hair,
just like Lloyd, but (as Haschel will say) the rest is
different. She then beats up all the bandits, and they
run away. Your party comes down, and she pulls out a
hammer, ready to crush you, too. You assure her you’re
not part of the Gehrich Gang, and she asks Dart’s name.
He answers, and she says that her name is Meru. Rose
and Albert tell Dart that we don’t have time for her,
but she is intrigued that you’re rescuing Lynn since
that’s exactly what she was planning to do. Then she
gets this great idea that she’s gonna go with you guys!
Rose repeats that we need to go already, but Meru pipes
up saying that she can lead you to their hideout and
through the Valley. And you need the permission of the
king just to enter it. Pick any choice here; either
way, she’s gonna come with you. Congrats! Meru joined
your party!
Now go down and up the stairs to the right. Now go
into the store to the right, where the bandits are
harassing people. They leave, and you come in. Get
what you need; the weapons are on the left, and the
items are on the right. Now leave the town.
Go to the Barrens, through them, and on to Fletz.
<------------->
Fletz
<------------->
When you enter, the party stops and talk about
getting permission to enter the valley. Since Albert
has met the king once or twice before, Dart thinks that
this should be quick. However, Albert doesn’t want to
reveal his identity. Now head up to the castle. Go
all the way up to the big guard. Meru tries to break
through, but the guard won’t budge. They establish
that there is no way he can let you in because of all
the bandits running around. Albert suggests that you
talk to Nello, and Haschel mentions Kaffi. So now
let’s go check these people out. Go down to Nello’s
house and talk to him. Well, he has no good info, so
let’s try Kaffi. Go to the bar and talk to her. In
here, Martel is talking to Kaffi!! They notice you and
are surprised that the other one knows you. Kaffi
leaves Martel to you, and she talks to you about
Stardust. Talk to her and give her your Stardust, and
in return, (if you haven’t given her any yet) she’ll
give you a Physical Ring and an Amulet. These are
great items. Well, Kaffi didn’t help, either. So
who do we know that knows somebody in the castle?
Bingo! Fester! He’s Princess Lisa’s governor. But
he’s not at home. So where is he? In the item shop.
Go there, and you’ll see him looking at some things to
buy. He offers to help, but only after he’s done with
his errands. He leaves, so leave after him. Go up
toward the castle, where he is still looking around.
Talk to him, and he’s done. He invites you to come to
his house to talk about it. You talk until nightfall
about your problems, and he agrees to let you in the
castle. Follow him up, and you’ll get to go into the
castle.
***********
Twin Castle
***********
Stardust: 2
Follow Fester up into the throne room. Here King
Zior talks to Fester for a while until Fester
introduces you. When you ask for permission to enter
the valley, he believes that you have genuine
intentions and lets you have a pass. He invites you to
relax at the castle. Head out anyway, but Princess
Lisa’s maid will stop you. She asks “King Albert” to
come and see Princess Lisa, and Dart doesn’t know
what’s going on. Now Libria the maid will lead you to
Lisa.
Princess Lisa introduces herself as the younger
sister of Princess Emille. She needs you to do
something for her. But you’re interrupted by Meru and
Haschel asking about how Lisa knows that Albert’s a
king. Dart pulls it back on track, and Lisa goes on.
Her problem is with her sister. Albert says that he
can’t believe that Emille’s personality is really like
that. Lisa starts to explain that six months ago, she
and her sister went on a horseback ride. Before this
point in time, everybody adored her sister. She was
the best leader one could ask for. But she fell off
her horse, hit her head, and woke up a completely
different person. She asks you to find out about the
connection between Princess Emille and the Gehrich
gang. Apparently, the gang started becoming a problem
about a half year ago. AND, she was told by the stars
to “never hand over the Moon.” This country has an
object much like Serdio did called the Moon Dagger. At
the coming of age ceremony, it is tradition to hand
over the Moon Dagger to the new heir, and Lisa assumes
that this is the meaning. Dart and Albert immediately
link this to Lloyd as the second Divine Moon Object.
Agree to look into it for her, and she invites you to
dinner and to spend the night at the castle. Haschel
and Meru get all excited, but now you need to go talk
to Libria.
Tell her you’re ready, and you’ll appear at the
table. Princess Emille is pigging out over in her
little area, and everybody else is just sitting there,
disgusted at her. Fester introduces Dart and Albert,
because they’re the only ones she likes. She thinks
that they’re cute, and doesn’t care about anyone else.
When King Zior mentions your going to the Valley of
Corrupted Gravity, Emille drops her knife and calls you
stupid. After dinner, your people will be out on the
balcony chatting about Emille’s change. Lisa comes in
and invites you to stay for the night. Follow Libria
to your bedroom, and you’ll all flood in. They talk a
little more about Emille. Rose says another harsh
comment, and Haschel asks her to at least crack a
little smile. She says that she’s forgotten how to
smile and leaves. Then Shana and Albert go to bed. Go
over and talk to Haschel. He talks about Claire a
little bit, which of course sparks Meru’s interest.
She asks about Claire, and Haschel describes her. Of
course, Meru thinks she’s just like Claire, but Haschel
strongly disagrees. When he says that he wishes he
could have seen his daughter in a wedding dress, Meru
says that he could see her in one! Pick whichever
choice you want, but Meru and Haschel will both go to
bed.
When you wake up, it’s time to get Stardust! Go out
of the room and to the front of the screen. Go into
the room under the tower on the right and check the
thing in the middle for a (1) Stardust. Now go back up
and down the stairs. Check the statue on the right for
a (2) Stardust. Save, and leave the castle. Leave the
town and go through the Barrens.

Talk to the guard, and the huge gate will open to
reveal a strange-looking place. Now go up and on to
the next screen. They’ll have a little conversation,
then go up and to the right for a Sachet. Go back down
and across. Now go to the left and down for a Speed
Up. Now go up and disturb the Rock Fireflies to heal
your party. Now go down and across and go up to the
next area. Hop up the tree and go across on the rock.
Keep going on the rocks and hop off at the top and go
on to the next screen. Go up and ride on the rock.
Over here, go and get on the rock. Hop off on the
first stop and get on the next rock for a Talisman.
Once again, DO NOT SELL THIS!!!!!! This is very
helpful for a battle in the 3rd disc. Go back down and
hop off at the next stop. Go over to the white spot
and press X. You’ll float upside down. Now hop on the
rock. Get off and go down on the next white spot. Get
on the rock and go up for a Knight Helm. Go back down
and to the other white spot. Walk over and go down
again. Go on the rock on the top of the current
platform and go up to the next screen.
Here, Rose will point out a familiar statue at the
top of the screen. Meru asks what it is, but Rose
ignores her and says that this one has its complete
form. Dart explains what it is, and Shana starts to
hear it calling again. She doesn’t want them to fight
it, but you have to. Now go to the left and ride the
rock. Save, and equip that Talisman to somebody you’re
planning to use in the upcoming battle. Now ride
across and go up to fight the Virage.

Item: Moon Serenade
First, kill his left arm that does the Can’t Combat
thing. If you equipped that Talisman on someone, they
won’t be able to be killed by this. After that, go for
his head. Use Albert’s Rose Storm and Rose’s Astral
Drain. When his arm comes back, get rid of it again
before he kills anybody. Use Dart as a healer so that
everybody else can use their Dragoon power. After you
kill it, Dart will jump up and slash it. Then you get
a scene.

***SPOILER ALERT***
The Virage will almost fall off, but reach for
Shana. Dart and Rose rush to her aid, but then the
same thing that happened with the Urobulus will happen
here. Her forehead begins to shine brightly blue. The
Virage falters and falls off, and Dart comforts Shana
in her sadness of not knowing what is going on with
her.
***END OF SPOILERS***
After that, all our people are spread out thinking
about what just happened. Go talk to everybody, and
then you’ll all move on.
Head west to the Home of Gigantos.

When you enter, you’ll see a bandit running up the
stairs. Go to the left and in the doorways. On the
left, try pushing the twinkling button once. Now go
down and get 20G. Go out the door nearest the camera
and get a Bandit’s Ring. Now go in, back out, get the
chest near the bottom with a Fake Knight Shield, and up
the stairs. Go up and you’ll be shot at by arrows.
After they talk to you, go up. The door will slide in
place. Then try going down, and some bandits will
block your path. Now just dodge around for a while
until they stop shooting at you. A guy will come down
and start posing, and Haschel will recognize it as
something from the Rouge School. Fight the guys
(they’re really not that hard) and they’ll all run
away. Except for one. Haschel will ask about where he
learned that pose, because that comes only from his
hometown of Rouge. He tells him that he learned from
his boss, Gehrich, and then it clicks for Haschel.
Apparently, they knew each other. The last bandit runs
away, and Haschel runs forward. He says something
about the “real Rouge school” and punches down the wall
that’s in our way! That is one in-shape 70-year-old!
In the next screen, everybody except Haschel and
Meru will go looking for hiding bandits. Haschel
apparently strained his back, and Meru wants to take
care of him in case bandits come. Haschel then goes
over and knocks Meru out and runs up the stairs. Dart
and company come out of the cave saying that there are
only Rock Fireflies in here when they see Meru on the
ground. Then they notice that Haschel isn’t here.
Choose who you want in your party, heal with the Rock
Fireflies, get the chest with an Angel’s Prayer, go up
the stairs, SAVE, and go in the door.
You’ll see a familiar gigantic figure appear, and
then you’ll see Mappi talking to Gehrich about your
people coming all the way here for that little “pebble”
he took. He also says something about a woman that’s
now working with the gang. Haschel walks in, and
Gehrich obviously remembers him. He calls him master,
and it is revealed that Haschel trained him in the
Rouge School, but kicked him out because he was unfit
for the martial arts. He took advantage of this and
became a bandit. Mappi attacks Haschel, he jumps out
of the way, and Dart comes in and knocks Mappi back.
Now pick who you want to fight this next battle.

Difficulty: Moderate

Kill Mappi first. You probably won’t be able to
completely kill him before he disappears, but try your
hardest. Use Haschel’s LV 2 Magic attack if he’s a
level 2 Dragoon, but if not, use his D-Attack. Use
Albert’s Rose Storm because Gehrich and Mappi have some
very powerful team attacks. Also, watch out for
Mappi’s “Can’t Combat” attack, and if you want, equip
somebody with that Talisman you should have gotten in
the Valley. After Mappi disappears, attack Gehrich.
After a while, Mappi will come back, and you can kill
him.
Once Mappi’s gone, attack Gehrich. If Albert has a
Twister Glaive, he’ll do even more damage to this guy.
Once again, Haschel does plenty of damage with his
magic and D-attacks. Also, now that Mappi isn’t here
to help him, Gehrich’s attacks are much easier to deal
with. You should have him in no time. Once he’s dead,
Haschel will do the finishing move instead of Dart.
___________________
After that, you’ll get a scene. Haschel hits
Gehrich so hard against the wall that the arm of the
statue falls off. If it hits ground, everybody will be
squashed flat!! But you see feet rushing forward…
Somebody to help, maybe… The arm hits the ground… or
so you thought. Kongol, of all people, has rushed
forward and saved everybody’s life.
Now, Haschel is taking care of Gehrich while
listening to the others talk to Kongol about his saving
them. Kongol explains that we are no longer his
enemies. Also, he explains his past. A long time ago,
long before the Serdian War, the humans killed off the
Gigantos; but Emperor Doel saved his life. That’s why
Kongol fought for him. He wants to see if Dart becomes
the strongest leader of the world to replace Doel.
Dart says that we are friends now, and Kongol says that
it sounds good. Dart pushes a button that makes the
stairs open to the place where the Gehrichs store
everything, but before we go down, Gehrich slowly tells
us that the woman taking the place of Princess Emille
is not the real one. They were swapped a half year
ago, and the real one is hidden inside the castle.
After that, Haschel goes out and buries Gehrich. Now
check the torch to the right of the stairway for a (1)
Stardust and go down the stairway.
Meru attempts to free Lynn, but Albert goes over and
flips a switch, saying, “If your brawn doesn’t work,
you should use your brain.” The door lifts, and Lynn
comes out. He thanks you, and when you tell him about
the Dragoon Spirit, he tells you that everything
they’ve stolen should be down here. Everyone will
disperse, but I’m sure you know where it is: the little
twinkling down at the bottom of the screen. Go down
and get it, and everyone will come into you and you’ll
go outside. Kongol and Haschel will join you, and now
put whoever in your party. Go out, heal, save if you
want, and head down and out.
Head east to the Valley of Corrupted Gravity.
<---------------------------->
Valley of Corrupted Gravity
<---------------------------->
There’s an easier way to get through this besides
the way you came in the first time. First, go down to
the next area. Now go to the right and hop on the
rock. Get on the next one, and the next. In this
screen, simply go down and hop on the rock to the left
of this island. Go down to the next area. Get on the
rock, and if you didn’t previously get the chest to the
right, get off on the first rock. Go across to get a
Meteor Fall. Now get on the rock, get on the next, and
leave the valley, stopping for the Rock Fireflies if
you wish.
Head east to the Barrens.
<------------->
Barrens
<------------->
Just go through toward Fletz, unless, of course, you
want to see Kate’s and Lynn’s wedding. If so, just
head to Donau.
What we are now going to do is go to Lohan. You may be
wondering why, but trust me, you want to go. So head
south to the border between Tiberoa and Serdio. Make
sure you choose “South of Serdio.” Now go south to
Lohan.
<------------->
Lohan
<------------->
Head into the next area. Here the man that sold you
the water bottle in the first disc has another item for
sale, the “Shining Miracle Stone.” He flashes the
stone in front of you, and Kongol takes it for a
closer look. It shines in his hands. Oh, my! It’s a
Dragoon Spirit! Go talk to the vendor, and he’ll offer
it to you for 1000G, and this time, you can’t lower the
price. Buy it, and—congrats!!—Kongol is a Dragoon!
Now go out.
Go up to the border and north to Fletz.
<------------->
Fletz
<------------->
Oh, no! The ceremony for Princess Emille’s coming
of age has already started! Shana, however, points out
that that doesn’t necessarily mean that the Moon Dagger
has been passed down. Go up and stock up on items.
Then go in the castle.
***********
Twin Castle
***********
Go up as if you are going to the throne room.
You’ll be stopped by the bandit-like soldiers, though,
who tell you that you can’t go in and that Princess
Lisa is cooped up in her room. That’s where we’re
headed. Go out the front on the right side. Here, you
have to make sure that you’re not seen by the guards.
So wait until both of them turn around at the same time
and head right. Go into the room under the stairs
until he walks by again, and head up the stairs. Now
wait until this guard turns around, and go past him all
the way up the stairs. Go into Lisa’s room.
In here, you tell Lisa about the link between Emille
and the bandits and that the real one is somewhere in
the castle. So now we go to look for her. Lisa goes
with you, but she does not keep you out of trouble, and
if you get caught by the guards, they’ll just send you
back up to her room. So don’t get caught. Go back
down until you reach the place where you started. The
easiest way to get to the other side is go inside the
castle (you’ll have another conversation with the
guards), and go back out the other side. Do so, and
follow the same instructions here to get past the
guards as on the other side. Go up to Princess
Emille’s room.
It looks as if someone had ransacked her room, so we
all disperse to look over everything. However, Kongol,
Meru, and Haschel wait outside. Go look at the
painting. Dart touches it, and everyone disappears!
Haschel and Meru come bursting in to find the place
deserted.
Now you see a rather peculiar area where everybody
disappeared to. Rose says that they are actually in
the painting, and then Meru and Haschel call out for
you guys. You yell through the painting that that’s
where you are and not to touch it. They get the point
and wait for you there. Then Dart notices the other
island in here. In a chair on it is… Princess Emille!!
Dart says it’s too dangerous to jump across, but they
don’t want to leave her there.
If you go talk to Shana, she’ll answer a question I
have had numerous times throughout this game: why don’t
they just turn into Dragoons and fly across? Well,
Shana tries, but it doesn’t work. Rose explains that
since it’s battle that triggers the Dragoon reaction,
it’s too difficult to transform outside of battle. Now
that that’s over, go to the light near the top of the
screen and press X. A bridge forms, and now you can go
across!! They rush across to wake the sleeping Emille
up. When Lisa’s attempt fails, Albert steps in and
gives her the kiss of true love, which awakens her
immediately! It’s just like Sleeping Beauty! Just
kidding. All he does is talk to her, and she wakes up.
You fill her in on everything that’s happening, and now
you need to head to the Chamber of the Sun. Now that
you have the real Princess Emille with you, the bandits
won’t do anything to you. So just get caught, and
they’ll all run away. Now head inside and SAVE!!!!!!
This is a pretty difficult battle coming up, so you had
better. I don’t know how many times I died and then
had to go through all that sneaking around again. It’s
a good idea. The bandits will now leave and let you go
through. Go up to the Chamber of the Sun.
King Zior is talking to Emille about being of age to
receive the Moon Dagger. He asks if anyone has any
objections, and just in time, you rush in with the real
Princess Emille. The fake one, seeing that her plan is
going askew, takes the Dagger and jumps over to the
balcony. Dart explains what is going on to King Zior,
and the fake Emille reveals who she really is: Lenus.
She looks completely different from Princess Emille.
For starters, she has silver hair. It keeps popping
up, doesn’t it? Dart asks the two princesses and the
king to leave the room because he can see that this is
going to get ugly. Lenus says that she got the Dagger
for her “love,” and she’s not going to give it up so
easily.

Name: Lenus
HP: 3200
Element: Water
Recommended Party: Dart, Kongol, and Albert
or Dart, Rose, and Albert
Difficulty: Difficult
Experience: 6000
Gold: 200
Item: None
Dart’s Final Burst works like magic in this battle,
so use it whenever possible. Use Albert’s Rose Storm a
lot, too. Use the Special whenever you have enough SP,
as this will take a huge chunk of her HP. Use any
Fire-based attacks you might have, and watch your
health. Those magic attacks can really pack a punch.
However, she should start out nice with some physical
attacks. Don’t be thinking that she’ll use them the
whole battle, though. Another thing: she likes to
counter-attack.
After you’re done using all your Dragoon stuff, use
all your most powerful Additions. Don’t worry; after a
while you’ll get her. In this battle, when you kill
her, she just disappears.
___________________
Lenus should be trapped. We bested her, and there’s
nothing else she can do. When Dart says that there is
no way to escape, she points at Meru and asks her what
she thinks about that. She just hangs her head down,
and Lenus jumps off. She rises up, however, with wings
that magically appeared on her back, and flies away.
Albert says that she is a Wingly, and King Zior comes
in saying that she must be here to take back what
originally belonged to the Winglies: the Moon Dagger.
Then King Zior talks with Albert about his taking
such risk for being a king. He tells him of all that
has happened, about Lloyd, Lavitz, and the Moon Gem.
Then King Zior tells of the legend of the Moon Dagger.
It’s pretty much the exact same as the Moon Gem.
Emille says that we have to get the Moon Dagger back,
and King Zior asks Dart and company to do it, of
course. You’ll be taking the ship, the Queen Fury,
with its captain, Commodore Puler, to Illisa Bay, the
area across the sea to which Lenus escaped. Emille
says, while looking directly at Albert, “Please take
care of yourselves.” Then they get to chatting.
Now we need to head to the port at Donau to get on
the Queen Fury. So head out of the castle and out of
Fletz.
Head north to the Barrens.
<------------->
Barrens
<------------->
Just go up toward Donau.
Head north to Donau.
<------------->
Donau
<------------->
Go to the left, all the way to the back, and down to
the ship. They make comments about it, and then a
young girl named Kayla comes out. She goes to tell the
Commodore that Dart and company are here, and he comes
out. He goes to greet your party, and asks you to come
aboard. Now go talk to Kayla and tell her that you are
ready to leave.
<------------->
Queen Fury
<------------->
Stardust: 2
You get on the ship, and you’ll see Rose in the
crow’s nest and Shana on the deck talking to some
birds. She recounts her journey with Dart and
concludes that she wishes she could fly. (I have no
idea how she got to that idea.) Then she feels like
talking with Dart. Save if you want and go up into the
ship. Check the pipe to the right for a (1) Stardust.
Now go up the two sets of stairs, and the next one, and
finally you’ll see Dart. Go talk to him, and Shana
will say hi. However, Dart is lost in thought
(probably of the Black Monster, judging by the look on
his face) and then realizes that she’s there. Shana
talks to him about the two of them. She says that when
their journey is over, she wants to be next to him, and
I believe she meant this in a way that Dart (yet again)
did not understand. Seemingly embarrassed, she runs
off. Dart gets the idea, since he was thinking about
the Black Monster, that Rose might know something about
it. So now we go to find her. Just go up the ladder
and talk to her.
Dart asks her about the Black Monster, and she
answers that she doesn’t have anything to tell him.
Instead, she asks what Dart will do when and if he
meets up with the Black Monster. He quotes Lavitz and
says that revenge does not generate anything. He
admits that he doesn’t know what he’ll do; he just
wants to know what he is and why he does the things he
does. Then Rose says my favorite line in the whole
game (purely because it sounds awesome).
Dart takes this knowledge back to his little
thinking corner, and Rose feels like taking a walk. Go
down the ladder, down the stairs, and over to Haschel.
She asks what he’s thinking about, and Haschel asks why
she’s there. She answers that she just happened to be
there, and he asks her another question: “You, why are
you with us?” He said that at the beginning it was
just Dart’s Dragoon Spirit, but now it seems to be
more. She says that this journey is a little break for
her. (“Little break?” This journey is taking a few
years!) Haschel responds by saying “…you look like
you’re rushing yourself to death, with your life being
run by something.” This gets her annoyed, and she
leaves. Haschel admits that he may have pushed too
hard, and then goes into some memories.
Here you’ll see “Haschel’s home village 25 years
ago.” Two women are sparring, and Haschel is watching
from the sidelines. He rebukes one (she is Claire, his
daughter) for being too slow, and she responds with a
nice “Yes, Father.” He calls her an idiot and tells
her not to call him that during training. Instead,
call him “Master.” This time she says “Yes, Master”
and gets back on to her training. Back to reality,
Haschel talks to Claire distantly and says that she was
the only heir to the Rouge school. Then he retreats
into his memories again. The girls fight some more,
and Haschel says that she can’t become the leader of
the school with such pathetic skills, and she answers
with a kindly “Yes, Master,” but inside, she is really
starting to get upset. They fight some more, and she
finally punches the woman and knocks her out. Haschel
is infuriated at this and tells her to leave, and she
does. Completely out of the town, too. Now you’re
back to the Queen Fury. He admits his mistakes and
then, to get his mind off things, decides to go pick on
Kongol.
Go down all three sets of stairs and out. Go
forward and down into the cargo bay. Go over to the
box next to the lamp for a (2) Stardust. Now talk to
Kongol. You get to chatting, and Kongol restates his
intentions for being here. Haschel brings up Emperor
Doel and tells Kongol to go see Albert because he’ll
know a lot about Emperor Doel. Haschel then leaves,
and you get to control Kongol. Go up to the deck and
in one of the doorways. Go into the room right in
front where you’ll see Albert. Go talk to him.
Kongol asks Albert what friends are, and he answers
saying that friends are people who walk the same road
together. Kongol leaves, and now we get Albert. He
hears Meru yelling for someone to hang out with, so we
go to see her. Go out and up to the room in the back.
When you enter, Meru throws a pillow at Albert, which
bounces off and lands on the floor. Go talk to her.
Meru says that Albert needs to become cool, like Dart,
and then asks if he is now angry. He says no but then
asks a question. He asks what Meru thinks she can help
with on this journey, and she replies that she doesn’t
really know, but rather just has a feeling. Then
Albert uses a really big word, lackadaisical. (He’s
such a nerd.) He then leaves, and you get to use Meru.
She, of course, wants to go see Dart.
Go up to where Dart is and talk to him. She notices
that he is thinking about something a plays a joke on
him: she puts her hands over his eyes and says “Who am
I?” You can choose any of the following choices, but
you get funny reactions out of her if you don’t choose
Meru. After that, she invites him on an adventure.
They decide to go see Rose first, so go up to her.
Have Meru go talk to her, and Dart will say not to play
a prank on her because she doesn’t understand those
things. But before you can talk to her, something
happens.
Now you see a movie of an eerie-looking ship
reminiscent of the Black Pearl. It has little wisps of
fire surrounding it, and there is a skull with a sword
through its eye socket and a crown on its head pinned
to a post. Then the ship rams into the Queen Fury.
Now you’re back to normal gameplay.

All the sailors come up to look at it and make a
variety of comments before Commodore Puler comes out
and dismisses them. Your party appears, and Albert
says that it looks like a ship of Mille Seseau. Kayla
appears and tells the Commodore that it hit the engine
room, so now we can’t leave. He tells them to hurry up
and fix it, and she leaves. Rose, however, comes and
recognizes the ship, or so it appears. Then Haschel
comes and says that Shana isn’t anywhere to be found.
Then you hear a scream and see Shana.
She somehow managed to fly off onto the Phantom
Ship, and is confronted by some freaky-looking thing
that floats in mid-air. It brings to life two
skeletons, and then two soldiers appear wielding
swords. She screams, and then the soldiers turn around
and cut down the skeletons. Dart appears, the thing
runs down the stairs, and the soldiers bow to Shana and
disappear. Dart asks her why she’s here, and she says
that she doesn’t remember how she got here. Meru says
that since they’re already on the ship, they might as
well have a look around. Dart strongly disagrees, but
Shana wants to go, too, and Albert says that since the
guys are there, they can protect the girls. Pick your
party and go around the stairs to the back.
Here a ghost will appear looking for the captain.
When the captain doesn’t answer, the sailor ghost
disappears. Now head back toward the Queen Fury, and
you’ll be interrupted again. A ghost sailor will
appear and ask for help. He says that he doesn’t want
to die and disappears. Another pops up and says that
they have no chance, that they’ll be killed by “him.”
Now go back to the Queen Fury. Go down the stairs, get
all weapons and items you need, rest, and save. Go
back to the Phantom Ship and below deck. You’ll see
the thing that first attacked Shana going into a room.
Now go follow it. Get the chest with a—!!!—creature in
it. Dart will hop down, the thing will bring the
skeletons to life, and you will have to fight them.
After that, go down and into the next room, which is
now open. Get the chest in here, and this time you’ll
have to fight the creature along with the skeletons.
He’s not that tough. Now go out, get the chest with
50G, and go into the last room. Get the first chest
with 20G, then the second one. The chest hops over to
a corner. Go try it again. This time, not one, but
three creatures will come out, and you’ll have to fight
all of them. The main problem in this battle is
getting people stunned or bewitched, so watch out for
those, but I wouldn’t waste my Purifiers on those.
Just do your best. After that battle, a wisp thing
will come out and invite you to come to the captain’s
cabin. But if you need to, go out and rest first.
Then head there.
Your party disperses, and Meru sees a portrait of a
woman who looks like a queen. Suddenly the door closes
on its own, and a chair with a man appears. He is
obviously the captain, and he’s asking for your help.
He says that “he” killed everyone, the crew, the nanny,
the knights, and the baby princess. Then he says that
the Black Monster did it. Dart is angered at this
because it seems as if that’s all the Black Monster
likes to do is kill people. The captain says that the
people on the boat couldn’t completely die; therefore,
he wants you to “send the souls of the knights to
rest.” Then he dissipates and the door opens again.
Dart vents that the Black Monster kills for no reason,
and they all go into him. Get the chest on the right
with 200G, and the one on the left with 100G. Now get
the sparkling thing on the floor, which is a key to the
ship. Now go out, and you’ll be interrupted once more
by some knights telling Rose of all people that they
won’t give her Princess Louvia. They then attack here,
but dissipate before she is hurt. Then Albert quotes
the line “After counting 108 years, when the Moon That
Never Sets glows red, a Moon Child descends upon the
earth, to fill the world with holy bliss.” But what is
really brought is the Black Monster, as Fester said.
Shana asks why the Black Monster did this, and Dart
asks how much he has to kill to satisfy himself. Rose
shouts out and tells them to stop, then says that she
doesn’t know why she said that. Now go all the way to
the Queen Fury.
Rest, stock up on items, and SAVE. Boss battle
coming up. Leave and go in the door that was
previously locked. In here, get the chest with a
Bravery Amulet. It might be helpful to equip this to
one of your chosen characters, but you can do without
it. Now go to the door. Before you can open it, a
knight appears and calls you the Black Monster. Four
more appear, each saying different things: they aren’t
giving up Princess Louvia, they aren’t going to stop
fighting, accusing you (whom they think is the Black
Monster) of using human words to fool them, they’ll
give up their lives to protect their princess.

and Grand Stream. Then they should be down, and you
have won.
___________________
Now all the knights attack Dart, but he “kills”
them. When the commander comes at Dart, Shana steps
out and says that the Black Monster is no longer here.
He then thinks that she is Princess Louvia and is
relieved to see her safe. Then he dissipates, thinking
he’s done his job of protecting her. Then the door
opens by itself. Go through it, get the chest with a
Dancing Dagger for Rose, and check the crib. It will
start rocking, and the nanny will appear, telling of
Princess Louvia. She says that if she weren’t a
princess this wouldn’t have happened. Shana comes out
and asks “Princess of Mille Seseau?” The nanny turns
around, thanks her for surviving, and leaves. Shana is
upset because she doesn’t know what the connection is
between her and this nanny, but then the boat starts
sinking! Rush out to the Queen Fury. Kayla tells the
captain that the engine room is up and running, and he
tells her to stand by for take off as he waits for Dart
and company. Then they try to wait, but the ship
starts sinking. Meru and everyone except Rose and Dart
hop on board. When Rose and Dart get on, though, the
ship pulls away, he falls off, and Rose catches him.
Dart tells her to let go, but she thinks, “This is the
same as back then!!” and doesn’t let go. But as the
ship sinks, they are knocked off into the sea...
Dart is lying in a cave and Rose walks in, sits by
him, and puts his head on her lap. She talks about
Dart and a man named Zieg, and how much they are alike.
Not only were they both Dragoons of the fire alignment,
they also both have something that attracts her. Then
she says, “After 11,000 years of time”—what!?—“I now
feel the strength and tenderness of Dart… and even… his
frailty. These tame the insanity of the Dragoon for
me. Zieg…. If my hands could grab him, I wouldn’t
have had this bitterness.”
Then you get to see the second coolest movie in the
game. You see Dragoons fighting. Then you see Rose
calling out for a man named Kanzas. He is on the end
of a very interesting looking creature, says, “I’m
taking you with me,” and there is a sudden explosion.
Somebody pulls Rose out of the way before it gets to
her. Then you see a dragon fighting a Virage… Is this
the Dragon Campaign? It kills the Virage, and then
moves on to another. Then you see a very strange-
looking man fighting a Dragoon. The Dragoon calls him
Melbu Frahma, and rushes in to attack. However, he
gets impaled, and you see Rose watching the battle.
The two of them fall into a weird contraption, and we
move on to a Dragoon that looks an awful lot like a
Giganto holding up a huge thing off the ground. He is
badly scarred, impaled by the creature’s finger, and
struggling to hold the object. Then the Dragoon to his
right gets up, sees him like that, then says, “Belzac,
your death will not be in vain,” and she lets an arrow
fly at a creature before it fires back. Then you see
the magnificent city that is floating in the sky
starting to crumble. Inside, the man who was fighting
Melbu Frahma is very quickly turning to stone as Rose
rushes toward him, calling “Zieg! Zieg!” But Zieg
tells her to leave and save herself. Then it’s over.
(So, does that mean that Rose fought in the Dragon
Campaign?)
Back to Rose and Dart. Rose says that she saw Zieg
in Dart, but he is not Zieg. Then she falls asleep…

Stardust: 1
In the morning, a little dog finds his way into the
cave and then people. A boy named Pete follows, and
you see a weird little seashore town. Then you’re in a
little house. Dart thanks Pete for saving them, then
Pete asks if they’re in love with each other because
they’re traveling alone. Dart asks if it really looks
that way, and he says yes, and his mother agrees with
him. Rose butts in and assures them that they are not
together. Dart explains that there are seven in their
group, and they are just looking for them. Then Pete
says that they don’t need to be shy, but they’re
interrupted by Pete’s mom coughing. Dart asks if she’s
sick, and Pete says yes, but they can’t take her to the
neighboring town because of the sea monster on the way
there. He says that Fueno, as the town is called, has
a port there to Donau. Dart thinks we should go there
because the Queen Fury might have dropped by. Then you
leave. Get on the boat and go to the pier.
Get the chest behind the ladder for a Healing
Potion. Now go up the ladder, across, and down the
other one. Check the shelf next to the wall for a (1)
Stardust. Go up the ladder and across and down and go
in the building. Save, and head out of town. On your
way out, you will be stopped by Pete. He runs up and
asks you to take them to the next town, Fueno. He says
that even though there’s a monster, he has to go before
it’s too late. He says that he wants his mom in the
hospital. Dart agrees, of course, and then Rose says
that she can kill the monster for you. Dart and Pete
are a little scared, and quickly back away from her.
Pete runs off and gets his mom. Rose asks Dart what
he’s looking at, and he looks away. Pete and his mom
come back, and you can now leave the town.
Head west to the Undersea Cavern.

Go along the path, and Pete will stop and say that ever
since the monster appeared, the water has never ebbed.
Now would be a great time to train Rose if you haven’t
very much. Continue and leave.
Head west to Fueno.
<------------->
Fueno
<------------->
Stardust: 2
When you enter, Pete and his mom will be all excited
that they made it and thank you. Pete says that he
hopes you find your friends soon (as do we), and then
asks if they are really in love with each other because
of something in the cave. (We know what this is.)
Rose pulls him aside and whispers so that Dart can’t
hear, “You are a good little boy and didn’t see
anything, okay?” Pete replies, “O… okay. I didn’t see
it, maybe.” Pete tells Dart that it’s nothing and
leaves. But before he goes down the stairs, he runs
back and shouts, “Rose! You gotta confess to him!!”
Rose runs after him and he runs away. They go into the
clinic. Rose once again has to ask Dart what he’s
looking at, and he again looks away.
Okay. So first we need to find a few people. Five,
to be exact. Don’t buy weapons yet, because we can get
those after we find our friends. First go up and save
if you want, then go to the back of the town. Continue
back down to the port, and—look at that!!—the Queen
Fury is docked!! You’ll see Kayla talking to one of
the sailors. Kayla is ecstatic to see them alive and
asks if Dart has seen Shana yet. (Yet another person
who can see better than Dart.) When he says no, she
urges him to go into the city and look for her. Now we
go back into the city. As you’re walking, guess who
you run into?!! Meru!!!!! She is also over the clouds
because you’re alive, and also persists that you see
Shana. She says that they’re in the hotel. So go into
the first part of town and into the hotel on the left.
Nobody’s here, but she said the hotel… Then Meru walks
in and plays a prank on him… again.
Now we’re finally with our friends again. Queue the
serene music. They all have their own little way of
welcoming you back. Meru: “You guys are slowpokes!”
Albert: “Welcome back!” Haschel: “We were tired of
waiting for you!” Kongol: “You, die, impossible.”
Nevertheless, they’re all happy to see you again. But
where’s Shana? After some chatting, Rose tells him to
go see her, and Albert says that she’s in the back room
upstairs. You hurry after her, and Meru says to leave
them alone. Haschel and Dart talk about how this
experience has changed Rose for the better. Now come
to the door closest to the camera.
Shana is here crying on the bed. Dart rushes in and
calls her name. She gets up and runs to him. (Now
queue the sweet music.) They hug and talk and hug,
when suddenly, you hear whispers from outside the door.
“Peeking is not a ladylike thing to do!” “I thought
you wanted to leave them alone didn’t you?!” “It’s
okay for me! I gotta learn about love and romance!
You guys go back! Or we’re gonna be caught!” (Guess
who.) Dart goes over and opens the door, and in tumble
Meru, Haschel, and Albert. Out they run, and Meru
comes back to get the door. Shana laughs, and Dart
goes and hugs her again.
Now you’re on the main floor of the hotel, where
Dart is telling the rest of them what happened. Of
course, they manage to find a way to swing over to your
current mission: finding Lenus and retrieving the Moon
Dagger. Meru butts in and asks if she can ask a
question. Dart points out that she’s being very
formal, and then she pops a question: “You guys were
alone in the cave, weren’t you? Did you guys put
yourselves into… um… a romantic situation?” (Whoa,
whoa, whoa, Meru!! That’s going a bit too far!)
Haschel answers for Dart and Rose and says that it was
too rude of a question. After she sits back down, he
steps up and asks if Dart and Rose cuddled up. Five
different people retaliate, and he apologizes. He says
it slipped out, and Dart says, “What do you mean
‘slipped’?” Rose reassures Shana that Dart was
thinking about her the whole time. (Of course, he was
really knocked out cold.) Then back to serious places.
Rose suggests that we wander about the town asking if
anybody’s seen anything.
Go back into the hotel and check the barrels for a
(1) Stardust. Then head out and go into the clinic on
the right. Check the painting for a (2) Stardust. Now
head out and up the stairs. Talk to the guy with a
drink in his hand. He says that he saw a dragon on the
Prison Island. His ship was destroyed by the sea
dragon. He says that his house was destroyed by
monsters that now live in the Undersea Cavern. He is
obviously a drunk trying to get away from his sorrows.
Then he says that it showed up a half year ago. (Sound
familiar?) Rose points out that this is the same time
that Lenus appeared. Now we resolve to go to the
Prison Island. Now go to the right and buy items (at
the bottom) and weapons (at the top). Leave town.
Head east to the Undersea Cavern.
<---------------->
Undersea Cavern
<---------------->
Go toward the other side, but you’ll be stopped by a
growl that sounds an awful lot like Feyrbrand. You’ll
be able to see a whirlpool going on just a few feet
into the water. Dart asks what the noise was, and
Shana points out that it’s coming from over the water.
Albert says that something’s over there. Rose says
that it seems that the rumors about the sea dragon are
true. Meru, who has been cowering the whole time, says
that that is the dragon’s cry. When Rose says Meru is
scared, she jumps up and says that she’s not scared and
that a dragon or two’s nothing. So now we need to
figure out how to get to the Prison Island. Leave the
cavern.
Head east to Lidiera.
<------------->
Lidiera
<------------->
Now, I’m sure you have no idea what to do. I didn’t
without help. So go to the pier. Hop on the boat and
choose ocean terrace. Once you get over there, go to
the right, where you’ll see the mayor and two people
playing cards or something. They stop and ask you what
you want. Dart tells the mayor that he wants to go to
the Prison Island, but can’t because of the tide. The
group of people can’t believe that you’re sane and want
to go to the Prison Island. The mayor asks why you
would want to go there, and you’re given a choice.
Pick any one you want, but the only one that will work
is “We need to see the monster.” The mayor half-
heartedly agrees and explains that he closed off the
way to the Prison Island after the problem with the
dragon arose. Albert comes out and asks how they
manipulated the tide. He says that he just closed the
gate when the tide was full. So simple. Then he tells
a guy to raise a gate. He tells you to go into the
cave and turn a valve. Now get back on the boat and go
to Pete’s house.
Go around back and into the cave. Now both of these
chests you want, so make room for them. Toss out one
Healing Potion and something else you don’t want. The
one on the right is a Healing Rain, and the one on the
left is a Healing Fog. Now go down, turn the valve,
and leave. The gate will be lowered again, and now you
need to leave the town. Save first if you want.
Head west to the Undersea Cavern.
<---------------->
Undersea Cavern
<---------------->
Go north. The chest contains an Attack Ball. Head
up to the next screen. Get the chest with a Jeweled
Crown. Now go over and to the left. Follow the path
until you reach a chest with a Recovery Ball in it. Go
back and choose the path that goes down this time. Go
left for a Gushing Magma. Then go on to the next
screen. Go to the left to get a Recovery Ball. Now go
back and to the right and up. Jump across for a Burn
Out. Continue, and on the right, get an Attack Ball.
Continue up the stairs and SAVE. Go on when you’re
ready.
<-------------->
Prison Island
<-------------->
Here you’ll be on the rather creepy path leading to
Prison Island. Go up. You’ll see two people: Lloyd
and Lenus. Lenus hands over the Moon Dagger and says
that she didn’t kill the humans. She asks why he
wanted them killed, and he answers by saying that the
“blood-smeared road might be the only way to lead us to
the world we desire.” Apparently he’s told her this
before, and she says that she won’t try to stop him,
and that “his” name was Dart. He says that this is all
in his plan, and she says that her plan is to get a hot
prize from him. Just then, there’s a noise, and Lenus
is annoyed that someone is disturbing her moment. Dart
and company appear, and he asks why Lloyd is there.
Lloyd says, once again, that he only wants what Emperor
Diaz wants, or rather, what the god wants. He then
confesses to burning Seles, killing Lavitz, and
stealing the Moon Dagger. As he disappears, he invites
you to pursue him in Mille Seseau if you can survive.
Lenus suddenly turns into a Dragoon! Then she says
that you are going to die. (Oh, boy, how many times
have we heard that before?)
___________________
===========
Boss Battle
===========
Name: Regole
HP: 3200
Element: Water
Name: Lenus
HP: 3000
Element: Water
Recommended Party: Dart, Haschel, and Albert
Difficulty: Moderately Difficult
Experience: 7000
Gold: 250
Item: Jeweled Crown
Frozen Jet
Kill Regole first. If you can, start out with your
special. Dart’s Final Burst should do around 1000
damage to him. Use Albert’s Rose Storm because Regole
has a very powerful magic attack with a tidal wave, and
it KILLS. Use Haschel’s D-Attack or strongest Magic.
Also, since this is a very magic-based battle, you
might want to switch out somebody for Rose, Shana, or
Meru; but I would go with Rose, because there are still
enough physical attacks to go around. After he’s dead,
move on to Lenus.
She’s not nearly as hard as before. Her magic
attacks aren’t nearly as strong, and that’s what mainly
got me before. Since you’ve probably used all your SP
on Regole, just pound on her with Additions, healing
when necessary. You’ll have her soon enough. Once you
kill her, Dart will do his finishing move, and you’ll
have a scene.
___________________
Lenus is dying and throws her discs at them blindly.
Shana throws Dart out of the way to save him, and Dart
hits one with his sword to save Shana. Then you see
Meru looking sadly down on Lenus. She begins to glow,
and her Dragoon Spirit rises into the sky.
Then you’ll see the Spirit coming down in front of
Meru. It glows brightly, and you establish that Meru
is also a Dragoon. She is excited beyond compare to
anybody else and starts dancing around. Rose says that
Dragoons are drawn to each other. (As you can see, now
every character is one.)Then we leave to tell King Zior
that we couldn’t get the Moon Dagger back, and then go
after Lloyd… again.
Follow the path and go all the way out until you
reach the first screen. Go to the left toward Fueno.
Head west to Fueno.
<------------->
Fueno
<------------->
Stock up on items, go stay at the inn if you have
some wounds, then go to the port. Here you’ll see
Commodore Puler telling you about your successful
vanquishing of the Sea Dragon. Now we can safely sail
back to the mainland. He’ll ask you what’s wrong, and
Dart replies that they didn’t get the Moon Dagger.
Then he invites you to become a sailor/man of the sea.
Pick either option; it doesn’t matter. Now go talk to
Kayla and tell her you’d like to board. You board, and
we’re off!
Sail down to Donau. You can walk around the ship if
you like by pressing square.
<------------->
Donau
<------------->
You should be at the port. Go up and all the way to
the front. If you want, save in the inn, then leave.
Head south to the Barrens.
<------------->
Barrens
<------------->
Okay, I promise this is the last time we’re going
through here. In a long time. Just go all the way down
to go out in the front.
Head south to Fletz.
<------------->
Fletz
<------------->
Go all the way up to the castle. On the way there,
you’ll be stopped by people announcing that Princess
Emille is coming out. Albert wants to get closer. You
see the people praising her as she walks down the
steps. She comes down and talks to them about what had
happened to her and what she was going to do to put her
kingdom back in order. People praise her a little
more, and she goes around thanking people. Then the
pregnant mother who came out before comes and asks
Emille to name her baby. She goes and thinks, then
decides on Eyie for a girl or Al for a boy. The mother
walks away graciously. She soaks up a little more
praise, and then you see Albert in some sort of trance.
Dart pulls him back to reality, and now go into the
castle.
<------------->
Twin Castle
<------------->
As soon as you enter, two soldiers come up to you
and ask for you to go to the Chamber of the Sun.
Proceed, save if you want, and go to the throne room.
You all bow down, but King Zior tells you to stand up
because you are special guests. You do so, and Emille,
(once again looking directly at Albert) says that she’s
glad you’re safe and sound. King Zior congratulates
them, but Dart is upset because they didn’t get the
Moon Dagger. Then he goes through the good things that
you did to show that you really were some use. When
Albert says that the Moon Dagger needs to go to
Princess Emille, he says that it is only a tradition.
Emille says that instead of the Moon Dagger, they’ll
pass down the story of you. Then King Zior announces
that there’s going to be a banquet in your honor, and
Meru comes up asking if that’s just a party. He says
yes, and she’s ecstatic, of course. She runs back, and
Shana tells her to shut up. When they are ready to
separate for the banquet, you’ll be back in the main
hall. They talk about Mille Seseau and Lloyd, then
everybody scatters except Dart and Shana.
Now you see Dart and Shana out on the balcony
talking. Shana confesses that she loves him. Ever
since she was little. “It never changed, even when you
went on your journey, Dart. Actually, I started to
love you even more… Because while you were gone, I was
thinking about you every single day…”
He says her name, and she turns around. “So, I
don’t mind being your baby sister. Because I can be
with you every day… That’s just how I think.”
Dart shakes his head and says, “I… I… don’t think
of you as a baby sister, Shana. I…” (Does he finally
get the
drift????)
Then he goes up to kiss her!! But Fester interrupts
us. He talks about Dart’s fame throughout the country.
Then he leaves. He goes up to kiss her again!!!!! But
we’re interrupted again. This time it’s Libria. She’s
here to tell you that the party is starting soon and
you need to round up everybody for the dresses. Now we
have to stop trying to be romantic and find everyone.
I’m just gong to tell you where everyone is and skip
the dialogue.
1. Albert: in Emille’s room talking with her.
2. Haschel: in the kitchen.
3. Meru: in the kitchen with Haschel.
4. Rose: in the bedroom.
5. Kongol: in the training room under the throne
room.
Now you need to go back to the dressing rooms behind
where you found Kongol. If you haven’t gotten them
yet, there are two chests down toward the bottom. The
top has a Moon Serenade, and the bottom has a Sun
Rhapsody. Now go to the top of the screen. Libria
invites all the girls to get dresses, but Meru
complains that she can’t dance in ball gowns, and Rose
feels naked without her sword, so Shana is the only one
getting a dress tonight. Now all the guys are waiting
in the bedroom when Libria comes in telling you that
the party’s started.
You’re in the Chamber of the Sun, where music is
playing that you hear only once in the entire game.
What you need to do is go talk to everybody in the room
from your party. None of them know where Shana is, and
Albert is talking with Emille about how he’s gonna have
to leave. She says that she’ll wait for him forever.
Looks like another love blossoming! He doesn’t know
where Shana is, either. Then Libria comes out and
tells you that Rose needs to talk to you. Follow her
out to Rose leaning against the railing. She asks why
he’s procrastinating and letting her catch a cold.
Then she says, “She’s over there.” He turns and sees
Shana, finally. She is wearing a magnificent dress.
He tells her she’s beautiful, and she says that it’s
just because of the dress. He disagrees. They look at
the stars together and see a few falling stars.
She says, “I wonder if my wish will come true?”
He replies, “It will. Because… I wished the same
thing…” Then he goes for the thing we’ve been waiting
for during two discs now. A kiss.
This is the end of Chapter 2: Platinum Shadow. You
should now have 35 Stardust.
<------------------------------>
Chapter 3: Fate and Soul
<------------------------------>
This is the third chapter of this game. You will
find that it’s longer than the last one. This chapter
takes a turn for the serious side.
<------------->
Furni
<------------->
Stardust: 2
You see your party on the Queen Fury heading for a
town placed in the water. It has the same music as
Donau. Your party hops off, one by one. Rose says
that there is a smell of blood in the air, but it’s not
bad. Meru says it’s been a long time, and when Haschel
asks if she’s been here before, she says that she’s a
very famous dancer and has therefore traveled far and
wide performing. Kongol comes and says that he crossed
the ocean for the first time. Albert comes and says
that this place is called Furni the Water City, and
that it’s the front door to Mille Seseau. He adds that
he’s curious why Lloyd told them where he was going.
Dart answers and says that he doesn’t know, but he’s
going to end whatever plot Lloyd is weaving. Shana
agrees with him. Now you are free to roam.
Go into the house on the right and check the stuff
near the entrance for a (1) Stardust. Leave and go up
to the next screen. You see a group of people
gathered, and a man called Harris comes out and gives a
discussion. He says that these people are going to
overcome the wolf called Kamuy that lives in the
Evergreen Forest. Also, a boy named Teo disappeared.
He explains that they’re going to explore all of the
Evergreen Forest until they find the wolf and Teo. He
promises a five time larger prize for whoever defeats
Kamuy and whoever finds Teo. Everybody says that
they’re going to get the prize, and a man named Bulgus
comes up to you and tells you not to butt into his
chance of getting the money. Now they all clear out,
and you can move again.
Go up and to the left. This is the inn. Save if
you want and go down to the bottom of the stairs. Talk
to the man behind the counter, who attempts to give you
a boat license. He says that all warriors get a free
one. When you ask about the warriors, he asks you if
you are here to defeat the wolf. Pick no, (unless
you’re just feeling mischievous today) and Dart says
that we are from Tiberoa. He then takes a head count—
seven!—and discovers that you are the people who
defeated the dragon in Illisa Bay. He tells you to go
see the mayor. So you get a free boat license anyway.
If you want, rest at the inn, although you are already
rested.
Get in the boat and you’ll drift out of the inn, the
boat being directed by Dart’s mind powers. Go to the
left and talk in the weapon shop. Now go to the front.
Go to the item shop and stock up. Guess what? Now you
can buy Healing Fogs!!! So sell all your Healing
Potions and upgrade. Once you’re done, leave and go
up, then to the upper right, then to the mayor’s house.
In here, the mayor is pacing around, apparently waiting
for you. Go up and you’ll talk to him. He asks if he
can tell you about the “situation” in the village.
Agree to listen (but if you don’t, they make you listen
anyway). He pulls over his daughter named Fa. He
explains that she was attacked by a wolf, but had no
serious injuries. However, ever since then, she hasn’t
spoken. Shana feels sorry for her, and then the mayor
asks you to help him. You agree, and then he asks you
to stay for the night. Say yes, then go over and tell
him you’re ready when you are. You’ll eat dinner, and
Shana goes to bed with Fa.
Haschel comes up to check on them (I guess), and
when he hears Shana singing a pretty little tune, he
recognizes it. Then you get a flashback of Haschel’s
home 27 years ago (2 years before Claire ran away).
His daughter, Claire, is singing the same tune, and she
tells him that she is dedicating that lullaby to her
future baby. Then you’re back to the now, and Shana
gets up because Fa is asleep. They go back downstairs,
where Shana tells Haschel that Dart taught her that
tune. She adds that his late mother sang it to him
when he was a baby. Something clicks for Haschel (as
it should for you, too), and he leaves for some fresh
air. Albert then tells Shana that Dart is on the roof.
Shana leaves to go outside.
You see Meru following her because she needs to
learn about love and romance. Dart and Shana talk
about the song and how they are childhood friends.
Then Meru mentions something about her “childhood
friend.” Dart points out the Moon That Never Sets and
how it’s involved in their journey. Suddenly the wind
starts to blow the clouds out of the way, and the Moon
shines brighter. Shana’s head starts to hurt, and she
passes out. Dart carries her back inside.
We’re back inside, and Shana says she’s fine and she
can leave whenever she wants to. She says goodbye to
Fa, and now you can leave. Go out and hop on the boat.
Go to the right now and into the house. Go up the
ladder and pull the cord hanging down, which opens up
the slide. Now go to the left and down the slide.
Check the metal basin for a (2) Stardust. Pull the
lever to the left of the ladder and leave. Leave the
town to the right.
Head north to the Evergreen Forest.

Let me tell you that the creatures here are a step
up, and they counterattack like crazy. Be prepared,
because for a while, this place will be a little tough.
Go right and to the next screen for a Destone
Amulet. Go back down and left this time. Save if you
want and go left for a Body Purifier. Now go back up
to the next screen. Here go straight forward and up to
the top of the little mound where the kid is running
around. He’ll run away when you get there, and out
pops a HUGE wolf, obviously Kamuy. The people try to
surround it, but the kid, Teo, comes up and tells them
to stop. He tries to convince them that Kamuy isn’t a
bad wolf and to leave him alone. He says that Kamuy
didn’t attack Fa, but instead tried to protect her.
Then Kamuy attacks (Dart is the only one smart enough
to move), throws people out of the way, grabs Teo, and
runs away. Now go down and to the right to get a
Depetrifier. Don’t bother with going down right now;
you’re not allowed to. Just go all the way to the left
and out to the next screen.
Now you have a choice. To the north is an optional
boss battle which you should be able to beat right now,
and to the south is the next town, which is where
you’ll be for a long while. If you really want, you
can fight this battle later, or not at all, but take
your pick. I’m going to go ahead and tell you how to
fight the battle.

Begin Side Quest
++++++++++++++++
Go to the north and you’ll see Kamuy. Move forward
a little bit, and you are given a choice. If you have
decided that you are not ready to fight him, retreat.
If not, advance. Dart will move forward, and Teo will
come out and tell you to leave. Shana comes out and
tells Teo about Fa’s situation. Dart tries to help,
but just then the mean people arrive. Bulgus says that
he’s going to kill Kamuy, and Harris tries to get Teo
to leave Kamuy. As Bulgus advances, Kamuy jumps on him
and throws him into the water nearby. Dart advances.
___________________
===========
Boss Battle
===========
Name: Kamuy
HP: 3500
Element: Non-Elemental
Recommended Party: Dart, Albert, and Kongol
Difficulty: Moderate
Experience: 8000
Gold: 0
Item: Darkness Stone
There’s not much of a strategy on this guy. Just
hit him with your best attacks. Use your Special if
you have it, use the best Additions, and heal whenever
necessary. Kamuy has a few magic attacks, but not
many; so if you really insist on using someone else,
it’s not that important.
You’ll have this guy pretty soon. He’ll just vanish
when you’re done.
___________________
Now you see Teo crying over the dying Kamuy, and
Shana (or Miranda, depending on when you fight this
battle) comes up and saves Kamuy with her White Silver
Dragoon Spirit. Kamuy shrinks down to the size of a
wolf pup, and Teo is ecstatic. Dart tells Teo to go
tell Fa that he is okay. Then Knight Harris agrees
that Kamuy can go back as long as he doesn’t cause any
trouble. Teo, Kamuy, and Knight Harris all leave, and
you’re free to move again. Head down out of this
screen.
++++++++++++++
End Side Quest
++++++++++++++
Go up the stairs and south to the next screen.
Continue down and you’ll be stopped. Rose pops out and
stops. She says that she has and “errand” to do and
scurries on off to the right. While everyone is
looking down at her, Meru then tries to sneak off, but
Shana sees her and asks what she’s doing. Apparently,
Meru has also remembered an “errand” and scurries off
to the north. When Dart asks if she’s going to tell
her where she’s going, unlike Rose, she gets frustrated
and says that she’s going to go see her parents.
***Hint, hint*** Haschel says that he’ll miss her, and
she comforts him by saying that she’ll be back soon.
Then she runs off. Now you get to modify your party
according to what just happened. Now head down and
leave the forest.
Head north to Deningrad.
<------------->
Deningrad
<------------->
Upon arrival, you see a beautiful palace of what
looks like crystal. First of all, you can’t get any
Stardust yet, so don’t go looking for them. Go into
the shop on the right and buy all items and weapons you
want. Now leave and go into the building right behind
the shop. This is the church. Upon entering, you see
a bishop talking to some tourists about something
called the Divine Tree. “It is said that the Divine
Tree that lives in our heart and the Last Fruit have
been protected from evil by the signets created by the
ancient Winglies. The legend goes, ‘When the Signet is
broken, the end of the world approaches.’ Just like
the Last Fruit, we Humans are one of the fruits given
life by the Divine Tree. For the ‘End of the World’ to
be a mere legend, we must remove evil from our hearts
and live in honesty. It is our mission as children of
the Divine Tree.” Then the people leave, and your
party comes in.
Dart says that he has never heard about the Divine
Tree, and Albert points out that any information could
be useful. Then Bishop Dille welcomes you to
Deningrad. Dart asks if the drawing on the wall (which
would make it a mural) is what he was talking about.
He says yes, but no one has seen the real tree. When
he asks if you want to know about the Divine Tree, say
yes. However, if you day no, Albert goes ballistic and
insists that we listen to what he has to say. Now you
get to see a movie.
It’s just the bishop telling you about the Divine
Tree. But then you get to see a massive tree growing
in the wilderness. This is the Divine Tree. The
bishop tells you that the Creator Soa planted this tree
upon the earth, and that it bore 108 fruits, which
spawned life. He says that all life came from this
tree, and that it is protected by the Signet of Soa.
Also, Soa planned out the fate of the world before he
made it. Then Bishop Dille advises you to go to the
National Library. Then Albert goes into one of his
nerd fixes and asks if that is the Mille Seseau
National Library. “I can step into the treasury of
knowledge. I wonder if I am capable of receiving all
this incredible luck and still remain calm. No! I
cannot! The treasure of knowledge is shining and
calling me! Let’s go!” Now go talk to the guy at the
altar. This is the librarian. He is very proud of
himself, and Haschel doesn’t like this. He says one of
the best lines here: “I don’t like mean old guys
because I want to be an adorable old guy.” Then he
says that if you want to go to the library just go.
But then, of course, he remembers that he locked it
when he left. So now he has to unlock it. He leaves
at the prodding of Albert. Follow him out and go to
the left into the next screen. On the right is a hotel
if you need to rest, and further up is a save point.
Do whatever and then head into the library on the left.
Here Albert will say how incredible this is, and the
librarian tells you to go anywhere you want. Shana
makes a remark on how many books there are and points
out that there is probably some information on Virage
and the Moon That Never Sets. Kongol makes a comment
about how Gigantos aren’t good with books, and then
Albert says that he found a book about dragons and
Dragoons! We decide to split up, and now you have to
go talk to everybody. Kongol says that he has a book
on Winglies. Dart reads it for him: “Winglies are
people with wings of light who employ magical power.
They had their glory 11,000 years ago, and had enormous
magical power that could float colossal cities…. They
became extinct after the war with Humans who were
seeking their liberation.” Shana found a book on
Divine Moon Objects, but it only says things we already
know, except for one part: “After the Dragon Campaign,
Humans controlled the Continent of Endiness, and
divided the continent into four, and established three
new countries. To the east, Serdio. To the south,
Tiberoa. To the north, Mille Seseau. And to the west
of the continent, the untouched land, the Death
Frontier. Each country shared three divine objects
inherited from the Winglies as proof of their alliance.
The divine moon objects are said to conceal magical
power, however, their usage is unknown.” Haschel has a
book on Dragoons. It says that we are the first ones
to appear since the Dragon Campaign. Albert says that
Dragoons are called when history requires them. Dart
thinks that maybe the deaths of Lavitz, Greham, Doel,
and Lenus were all necessary. Then Albert thinks that
maybe Lloyd is a “necessary part of history” as well.
Haschel reads that the Dragoons of the Dragon Campaign
vanished suddenly after the war was over. Albert is
once again fascinated by all the knowledge in the
books, then reads, “Dragons are the second most
powerful species of all 107 creatures given life by the
Divine Tree. Their attacks and life power overwhelm
others, however, the creator Soa created a balance by
reducing the dragon’s intelligence. Therefore, they
were to be controlled by Humans with their wisdom.
During the Dragon Campaign 11,000 years ago, they had
fierce battles against Virages manipulated by Winglies
and couldn’t avoid being annihilated.” After you’ve
talked to everyone, Librarian Ute starts talking about
the Dragon Campaign. Go talk to him.
He asks you what you need, and after he and Haschel
make comments about his superior-ness, he notices that
you are interested in the Dragon Campaign. Now you get
to see a movie about the Dragon Campaign. You learn
that seven Dragoons fought on behalf of the humans.
They fought with the dragons. The Winglies dominated
everything, including the gods. Wingly dictator Melbu
Frahma was granted ultimate power by the gods, but he
abused it. Imperial Gloriano was torched by him, which
fueled the Dragoons’ cause. As a result, they managed
to free the gods. Without the gods on their side, the
Winglies all died. Ever since, the god has been
hovering over the world as the Moon That Never Sets.
Afterwards, he advises you to go to the Reference Room
upstairs, which contains the history of Mille Seseau.
When he mentions the Black Monster’s attack on this
country, Dart’s interest is sparked, and he says that
he is a survivor of Neet.
Now you’re in the Reference Room. Go check all the
exhibits if you want. If you look at the one near the
bottom of the screen, the big ship, Dart recognizes it.
It is called the Saint Louvia. I’m sure you’re smart
enough to piece that together. Now go talk to the
dude. He tells you that this is the stained glass from
Neet. Dart remembers it faintly. When Dart asks about
other survivors, he says that he only knows of one: the
Second Sacred Sister of Mille Seseau, Luanna. He then
offers some information about the Black Monster, and
here you see yet another movie. He says that the Black
Monster is a demon who devours the gods. Every 108
years, the Moon glows red to signify the coming of a
herald: the Moon Child, who revives the god and
purifies the world. The Black Monster kills moon child
repeatedly. Then you get to see various pictures of
the Black Monster killing people. The end.
*****************
Meanwhile in Neet
*****************
Now you’re in Neet, Dart’s hometown. Rose pops out
and says that nothing has changed. (Hang on. Does
that mean she’s been here before?) She moves forward,
but comes back and asks if she’s hesitating. Then she
resolves to continue. Head up, and you’ll hear a voice
saying something. Sister Luanna, another lady, and
three guards are standing next to something like a
monument. Luanna says that it’s been a while since the
tragic day that she lost her sight. She says that
today she can see thanks to people like Setie (the
woman next to her). She asks the Divine Tree to bless
all the victims. She hears something and spins around
asking who’s there. The three guards draw their swords
and block Rose. Rose says sorry that she startled
them, and when Luanna asks who she is, she answers by
saying that she’s a “traveler.” The soldiers back away
at Luanna’s command, and she explains that her mother
died here.
Now you get to see a flashback about Neet 18 years
ago when it was getting torched. You see something
that looks an awful lot like a Dragoon asking a soldier
about Princess Louvia. When he refuses to reveal
information, the Black Monster kills him. Now you see
a woman holding a child, Luanna close to her in an
alcove. Luanna says that she can’t see, but just then
the Black Monster shows up. Once again, its shadow
resembles a Dragoon. It asks where the Moon Child,
Princess Louvia is, and Luanna’s mom says that they
don’t know. Because of a nice little threat, she
decides to say that Louvia went out to sea, and then
tells it to leave. Then the Black Monster says,
“...The newly born Moon Child has a magic power. That
magic power changes everyone around into an evangelist
for the god, a servant to help prepare for the
descending of the god.” Luanna’s mom is burned. “My
objectives will not be satisfied until I kill every
single person who was present as the Moon Child passed
through.” Then it leaves, and Luanna is alone, next to
her dead mother.
You’re back with Rose and Luanna. Luanna was
blinded back then, but Setie says that instead, Luanna
can see people’s souls, but she can feel their pain,
too. Luanna says that because of this, she can “heal
the pain in people’s hearts.” Rose offers to accompany
Luanna back to Deningrad, and she agrees. Then they
leave.
************
Home of Meru
************
Now you’re in Meru’s hometown. She comes in, walks
around a bit, and wonders if anybody has missed her.
Suddenly, a fireball comes down and almost hits her! A
man asks who is “coming through the boundary,” and then
apparently recognizes her as Meru. Then she recognizes
him as Guaraha. (Don’t even bother trying to pronounce
that correctly.) He flies over, (wait, flies??!!!) and
they talk for a while. He gets onto her about leaving
without telling him anything. Then she yells at him
for being mad when she’s been gone for so long. He
admits that he is happy to see her, but “leaving the
forest is our taboo! You left the forest, so I don’t
know if everybody else in the forest will forgive you,
Meru.” Then Meru asks why they have to coop themselves
up in this forest, and then determines to ask the
Ancestor.
Go up, and when you come onto this green thing, a
yellow “!” will pop up. Just press X, and you’ll
teleport over to another green thing near the bottom of
the screen. From now on, these things will be
EVERYWHERE, so you had better get used to using them.
Now go up, and you’ll see a lot more people flying
around. When Meru announces her arrival, everyone
starts whispering. Apparently, these people know Meru
and REALLY don’t like her. Then you see two people
hovering over her. These two guys, both named Bardel,
say that she is “the black sheep of the proud
Winglies.” They tell her to go back to the humans and
wait for the day they destroy them. Then an old guy,
the Ancestor, appears and breaks it up. He says that
leaving the forest is an unforgivable mortal sin. He
explains that all they want to do is protect themselves
from the Humans. He tells Meru to leave, and she
starts to retort but stops. She leaves very
downhearted. But just then, a woman comes flying down
toward her; however, she is stopped by a man who tells
her to leave her alone. These are Meru’s parents.
After some debate, they fly off. Now she leaves
brokenhearted.
Go through the teleporter, and you’ll be picked up
by Guaraha. He says that he wants to talk between the
two of them. He says that she had a horrible welcome,
and she plays the tough guy and says that it didn’t
bother her. He says that it was just bad timing
because everybody is tense lately. He says that the
earth is surging, and Meru says that she’s felt it and
that the animals are acting savage. Guaraha says that
these are signs of a Dragon coming back to life. And
it’s not the normal kind, either. The Divine Dragon,
the strongest dragon of all with seven magical eyes, is
ready to return. The seal on him is half dissolved,
which is why everyone is so nervous lately. Meru says
that they have a Dragon Buster and Dragon Block Staff,
but Guaraha says that the Dragon Buster was stolen and
that only the ancestor could access the place where it
was. Then he says what he’s really been wanting to
say: he doesn’t want Meru to leave him and he will
protect her even if nobody else does. She says that if
he does, everyone will hate him, too. Then she says
“Ciao” and leaves.
Now you see a movie. In a volcanic place, you see
chains. They are binding a creature. But then the
chains break!! You see his head, his tail, and then
his wings. The Divine Dragon.
<------------->
Deningrad
<------------->
Back to Deningrad. Your party is filing out of the
library, and the Librarian is asking if they are going
to pursue Lloyd now. We say yes, and he says that Dart
should go to Neet. Haschel agrees that he wasn’t such
a snob after all. Dart says that we have to wait for
Rose and Meru. Then he goes into some kind of lapse
and doubles over. Shana asks if anything is wrong, and
Dart feels better and says that he’s fine and it was
just a little shiver. Albert feels that something is
wrong, and everyone goes into Dart again. Save if you
like, but then leave the town. But before you can
leave, guess who’s here! Rose and Luanna come in
right now, and Rose asks if you found anything useful.
Dart says that there is no trace of Lloyd yet. Then
she introduces Luanna and Setie. Then Luanna says the
weirdest line ever: “Excuse me, but you had some
changes in your body recently.” Okay, then. Dart asks
what she’s talking about, but just then, they are
interrupted by a man coming up to thank Luanna for
something she did. Albert comes up and asks her if
they can talk someplace else due to the openness of the
area. She agrees, and they go into the inn. Dart,
Albert, Shana, Rose, Luanna, and Setie are all in the
lobby talking. Dart says that he was a survivor of
Neet and asks if there were any other survivors or
perhaps whereabouts of the Black Monster. However, she
doesn’t remember anything. Then they piece it together
that Rose went to Neet. But she says that she
“happened to be there.” Then Setie asks about what
Luanna said about Dart’s body. She explains that your
party all have powers beyond that of humans. Then Dart
goes into another lapse.
Then you see my favorite line from the game. For
details, see the section on the Queen Fury. Dart
insists that he’s fine, but then we see a movie. A man
is riding some kind of creature when a shadow looms
over him. This shadow is the Divine Dragon. He heads
toward Deningrad and flies low over it, blowing dust
around in the process. Then he flies away… According
to what Luanna said, that is the influence that was
over Dart. Luanna says that the dragon was practically
made of “anger, or animosity, towards humans or all
things.” Then Meru runs up panting. Rose says that
this is “the arrival of the ‘One who glares through
seven diabolic eyes, and who crosses the sky with seven
wings.’” Oh, dear. She says that this is the Divine
Dragon. Luanna says that the ancient dragon was sealed
by the Winglies on the soil of this country. Albert
says that once again, we are facing a dragon. Luanna
asks what Dart and company are, and he answers, “We are
the Dragoons. We are the Dragon Knights who have the
power to rule Dragons.” Luanna says that that explains
why there was such power in him. She asks why they
came here, and Dart and Albert explain about Lloyd.
Then Luanna asks you to see Queen Theresa. Mille
Seseau needs us.
Head up into the castle. Just head up and up to the
next screen. Here go to the left into another room.
Check the box on the left for a Holy Ankh. Then leave
and go up to the next area, ignoring the next room.
This is the throne room. The commander is talking to a
woman (Miranda) about the Divine Dragon. He says that
the knights can beat it because he doesn’t believe that
it is as big as people say. Then she slaps him. He
falls down, and she rounds on him about this
assumption. He leaves, and your party comes in, fore
fronted by Luanna and Setie. Queen Theresa says that
Miranda is in front of guests, and she straightens up.
She welcomes them back, then asks who your party is.
Luanna says that she brought them to save Mille Seseau
from the intruder. According to what she saw of the
dragon’s soul, she thinks that he will attack again,
and much harder. Rose explains about the Divine Dragon
to Miranda, and Queen Theresa says that it is the
monster in the Mountain of Mortal Dragon. Then Dart
explains how they can kill the Divine Dragon since they
are the Dragoons. He shows off the glowing rock that
he owns. Then Queen Theresa asks them to assist Mille
Seseau in this time of trouble. Rose then asks the
queen about something. She says that in order to
attack the Divine Dragon, they need an artifact. The
Winglies made two different items to fight against
Dragons, and one was the Dragon Buster. Then Meru
shouts out how Rose knows about that, taking everyone
by surprise. She immediately shuts up. Then Shana
says that that is “the sword.” Dart confirms and says
that that is the sword that Lloyd used to kill Lavitz.
So then Rose says that we have to count on the other
one: the Dragon Block Staff. Then she asks Meru where
this might be. After everybody pesters her, she says
that it is in the Forest of Winglies, in the northern
part of the Evergreen Forest. So it’s decided that
Winglies still live. Then Miranda pipes up and says
that she’s coming with us. Then we leave, but Shana
hesitates.
On our way out, Albert of all people points out that
Shana is gone. Now let’s go all the way back up to the
throne room. Go up the stairs on the right, and you’ll
see a weird-looking thing in the air and Shana kneeling
in front of it. Dart runs in and brings her to her
senses. Apparently, she has no recollection of how she
came to be here. Then everyone else come in, and Dart
asks Miranda what this room is used for. She says that
this chamber was used by Winglies for a ceremony to
seal something (important!) 11,000 years ago. Albert
says that the Divine Dragon is just working off his
hatred toward Winglies. Suddenly, Shana feels really
hot, and her Dragoon Spirit shoots into the air and
comes to rest in front of Miranda. Apparently Miranda
is now a Dragoon. Shana collapses, and Miranda starts
asking questions.
Now we’re in that room you skipped earlier. Shana
wakes up, and everyone gathers around her. She admits
that she cannot go with us anymore, and that she knew
this would happen. Dart says that we’ll be back as
soon as we have defeated the Divine Dragon. Everybody
says their versions of farewell to her: Meru, “Lighten
up!”; Haschel, “I will work hard for you, Shana!”;
Kongol, “Kongol, too.”; Albert, “It won’t be long.
Dart will be back with you soon, Shana.” Then
everybody leaves, and Shana asks Miranda to take care
of everybody. Then she leaves.
Pick your new party, and leave the Crystal Palace.
Save if you want and leave the town.
Head east to the Evergreen Forest.
<----------------->
Evergreen Forest
<----------------->
Head north to the next screen. Go down the stairs
and to the right. Here go down, and at the fork, go
up. Go south and on to the next screen. Follow the
path out of the Evergreen Forest.
Head north to Neet.
<------------->
Neet
<------------->
Stardust: 1
All we’re here for is a Stardust. Check the lamp on
the right for it (1). You can check out the grave up
ahead if you want, but when you’re done, go back to the
Evergreen Forest.
<----------------->
Evergreen Forest
<----------------->
Go back to the place where you first met Kamuy.
Don’t go on the mound in the center, but go around it
to the north side into the next screen. You see a dead
end, as Dart points out. Meru introduces this area as
the “entrance to the Forest of Winglies.” She says
that she might get kicked out again, and Dart asks
where the entrance is. Meru explains that there is a
magical boundary, and that the Winglies separated
themselves from Humans since the Dragon Campaign. When
Dart asks why the Winglies didn’t mingle with the
humans, they talk about the Dragon Campaign, and that
some Winglies are still mad at the humans for defeating
them. Meru says that because Winglies have a power
that humans don’t have, there is a line between the two
species. Then Meru pops out Winglies’ wings! (If you
haven’t figured this out by now, this will come as a
shocker.) Meru is a Wingly. Then there’s this bright
light, and a portal-type thing is revealed. When Meru
asks if they would still have loved her even if she had
told them about her being a Wingly, they all reply yes.
Now we go to see the Winglies.
<------------------->
Forest of Winglies
<------------------->
Stardust: 2
Go up into the portal. You see three Winglies
talking about the Divine Dragon. They say that they
would probably lose the fight against him, but if they
teamed up with us, they might stand a chance. Then
somebody comes through the portal. Dart walks in, with
Meru and Miranda. They freak out that there are humans
in their forest and start to attack. One leaves to
tell the Ancestor. Meru blocks the attacks, and Dart
tries to be diplomatic and asks about the Dragon Block
Staff. They are even more alarmed at this and grow
tenser. Dart explains that if they don’t work
together, the Divine Dragon could destroy everything.
Then the third Wingly comes and says that the Ancestor
will talk to us. He warns you about the Bardel
brothers and flies away.
Now head up and on to the next screen. Save if you
want, and talk to the Wingly standing by himself. Say
yes and go into the room. If you want to, you can go
up and talk to Meru’s parents, but otherwise, go onto
the portal on the left (or toward the top). Here you
have the Wingly item and weapon shops. Stock up and go
through the portal on the left. Go into the next one,
and you’ll be in Guaraha’s room. He starts saying that
Meru has come back to him, but then comes your party.
He steps back and says that we are Meru’s “friends.”
Meru introduces Guaraha to them as “a friend of mine.”
He retaliates and says that he’s more than a friend,
and when Meru says that they grew up together, he says
that he is her fiancé. (Whoa, how old is she?)
Everyone is very surprised at this and say that she
must be older than she looks. Guaraha demands to know
what relationship Dart has with Meru, and Dart assures
him that they’re just friends. After some more chit-
chat, you can move again. Go to Guaraha’s shelves on
the right side of the screen and check it for a (1)
Stardust. Go back and back down to the area with
Meru’s parents, and this time choose the teleporter to
the right (nearer to the bottom).
Check the pillar on the right for a (2) Stardust.
Now go up through the teleporter. Here you’ll see one
of the Bardel brothers. He is deciding to block your
way through. He insists that the Winglies alone can
defeat the Divine Dragon. When Meru asks why he’s
being so harsh, he says that his little sister was
killed by a human. That’s why he’s so prejudiced.
Bardel makes a remark on the humans’ helplessness.
Rose asks if they are really that strong, and that the
Winglies are declining because they cling to the glory
of the past. She says that they can barely fly and
that’s about it. He gets angry, of course, and tries
to show off his power by firing a fireball at Dart.
Dart quickly turns into a Dragoon, blocks the attack,
and blows it back at him. He freaks out that the
legendary Dragoons are back, and he almost passes out.
Meru promises that she will take care of the little
sister’s matter after their journey, and they all walk
around him. The younger Bardel pops from out of
nowhere and knocks out his brother and taunts him about
his weakness. He says that he will get revenge for
their baby sister, and he disappears.
Talk to the Wingly and go up and into the room. You
should be in an empty room. Miranda asks where the
Ancestor is, and a light comes down and heals the
party. Meru kneels and says that we’re sorry we’re
late, and the Ancestor appears. He welcomes you to the
forest and introduces himself as Ancestor Blano.
Miranda, being the second-most diplomatic here,
introduces herself and asks forgiveness for our rather
sudden visit. Dart starts to tell of the Divine
Dragon, but the Ancestor already knows. He says that
we need to combine our strengths, or else we will never
defeat this dragon. So we’re going to combine, not
Winglies and Dragoons, but Winglies’ technology and
Dragoons. He says that we get the Dragon Block Staff.
Apparently, they can’t spare one or two Winglies to
fight with us because they might become extinct. So
everybody leaves except Meru, who wants to talk to the
Ancestor. As the elevator goes up, they talk about the
humans. They chat about trying to let Winglies go into
the normal world, but that it isn’t the right time.
Then she leaves.
Now you see this weird-looking place. Go talk to
the Ancestor on the far left. He tells you that the
Dragon Block Staff is in the Forbidden Land. It used
to be the royal capital Kadessa (which is also the city
you saw in Rose’s flashback in the second disc). Say
you’re ready and you’ll go up to the top of the thing
in the middle. A teleporter thing will transport you
through hoops all the way to the Forbidden Land.

This is my second-least favorite place in the game.
It has the hardest boss battle in the game, and it’s
annoying to get through. Upon entrance, Dart, Albert,
and Meru talk about this area. Meru says that she can
hear the cries of all the people that died here; and
when Dart suggests she wait in the forest, she insists
that she can keep going. Now go up into the next
screen.
You’re going to want to train a lot here. Don’t
forget that there is a big boss battle against the king
of dragons coming up, so TRAIN. Go up and then go down
to get a Mind Purifier. Continue on to the next
screen. Go into the teleporter (which I will call TP
from now on) and into the next. Head up into the next
screen. Go in the first TP and follow them for
Dancer’s Shoes. Go back and under the pipe to the next
screen.
Take the TP and the next and go into the next
screen. Take the next four TPs to get to the next
area. Walk up a little bit, and Miranda says that it’s
a big space, and Kongol adds that it smells like blood.
Albert pieces this together and deduces that this was a
coliseum. Meru confirms this suspicion by telling them
all about the various things Winglies would do to
various species in this room. She is ashamed to be the
offspring of this kind of Wingly, and Dart cheers her
up saying that what happened was in the past, and it is
no longer our problem. Albert says that those memories
just tell us not to repeat them. Now go up and through
the four TPs to get to the next room.
The pinkish thing near the bottom is a healing pad.
Just press X on it, and you’ll be completely healed.
Now SAVE. Here you get to decide whether you would
like to get extra experience and fifth a boss battle
(not to mention the Healing Rain you get out of it)
which is recommended because it helps with the really
big boss battle coming up, or just go through a
different way and get a whole bunch of items and stuff.
Boss Battle Path
----------------
If you go through the boss battle, pick your line-up
for the big boss battle (recommended Dart, Albert, and
Kongol; see “Grand Jewel” battle info. for more detail)
and make sure that they have full SP. Now head north
to the next area.
Here you should see a whole bunch of creature murals
engraved on the wall. What you have to do here is use
the TP under each creature in the order that the
creature was given life from the Divine Tree. I’m sure
you have no idea, so here’s the order:
1. Far right
2. Giganto (far left)
3. Minintos (third from the left)
4. Dragons (third from right)
5. Humans (second from right)
6. Winglies (second from left)
When you’re done, a cover will come down and cover the
rise in the floor. Go in this TP. Go in the two TP
and you’ll see a big thing. Move a little bit, and
your party comes out and talks about this thing. But
as everybody turns to leave, Rose moves forward and
says that this is a Virage. But it doesn’t look
anything like the others we’ve encountered. Rose says
that, according to a scar, it is the Virage that killed
Belzac. Albert explains Virage to Miranda, and Rose
says that this is a Super Virage, having power far
beyond those that we’ve already met. Now we try to
leave, but something starts vibrating….

Okay, so ultimately this guy dies after ten rounds.
But the main reason we’re fighting this battle is to
prepare for the upcoming battle. First, use your
Special. Just use D-Attacks unless you really feel
like using magic, but on Albert’s LAST turn as a
Dragoon, use Rose Storm. When this guy dies, he tries
to take you with him. He does this amazing magic
attack that attacks all your players, and it HURTS.
Mainly because none of these people have a very high
magic defense. After your Special goes away, attack,
but guard after it says, “Lives remaining—3.” You
should survive this, but above ANYTHING else, DO NOT
LET ANY ONE PERSON’S SP HIT 200!!!!!!!! This is vital
for the next battle.
___________________
After that’s over, you see a new path opened up, and
your party is discussing the issues they have with
Virage. Rose decides that they were not just reacting
to Shana, which of course reminds Dart of her back at
the castle. Now you can move, DON’T go forward because
there is a pretty good chance that you will die in this
upcoming battle. What you want to do is go back. Do
so, heal, SAVE, and then go back up. You might want to
change your line-up so that you don’t use the people
you’re going to use in the battle so that you don’t hit
200 SP. Now go back and continue. Go down the spiral
and into the room at the bottom.
Other Path without Boss Battle
------------------------------
If you decided to go the other way, without the boss
battle, take the TP on the right. Follow the path to
the next room. Here you’ll find a strange area with a
bunch of pink spots on the floor. On each of these
spots, a creature (Spinning Head) will appear and jump
after you. If any hits you, you must battle it. Here
go to a spot on the floor, and when the yellow “!”
appears, press X. Dart takes out his sword and stabs
it. Then Meru appears as a ring guarding the exit
disappears and says that each spot is connected to it.
Now continue around until you have stabbed each spot
and then go into the next room.
Guess what? We get to go through a maze with rocks
kinda like the Valley of Corrupted Gravity. First take
the first rock, and wait until it stops two spots above
the entrance to get off for a Power Up. Now take the
rock to the stop you first skipped, or the one just
above the entrance. Follow this path. Go down on the
next stone you see and the next. Now before you go
down here, be careful. You want to get across to the
other side, not just fall. So once you jump onto the
rock, immediately press X again and you’ll jump onto
the other one. Now press X again, and you’ll jump off
onto the little area with a Mind Crush for Dart. Now
jump onto the rock and just let it carry you down.
Here go to the right and take that rock, then move on
to the next screen. Continue to follow the path and
eventually you’ll come out in an area with a spiral
path leading up. That’s the exit for the Virage path.
Just go into the center, but only if you are absolutely
sure you’re prepared for this. MAJOR boss battle
coming up.
Here you see a round room with a stick sticking out
of the ceiling in the center. Move forward a hair, and
your party recognizes it as the Dragon Block Staff.
Miranda notices how small it is, but Rose rounds on her
and says that the power of an object is never seen in
the size. This staff alone has kept the Divine Dragon
sealed for 11,000 years. Miranda then thinks that he
will be no match for us, but Rose once again retaliates
and says that it won’t be so easy as you think. “Even
with the power of the staff and us Dragoons, we will
have reason for thanks if we can seal him back in.”
Seal him back in, not kill him. They sway into Lloyd
trying to tame the Divine Dragon, that it’s not
possible, and that he still hasn’t made a move toward
the next Divine Moon Object yet. This catches
Miranda’s attention, and she asks how we know about
this. When they ask her about it, she resists giving
any information. So then Meru tries to fly up to get
the Staff. But something else comes out with it.

Boss Battle
===========
Name: Grand Jewel
HP: 4600
Element: Earth
Recommended Party: Dart, Kongol, and Albert (more info
later)
Difficulty: Extremely Difficult
Experience: 9000
Gold: 300
Item: Spectral Flash
Okay, so this is by far the worst battle in the
entire game—even worse than the final one. Wait, I
think there’s one that’s more difficult, but it’s not
even necessary to the plotline. Anyway, I do have a
method that will help, though. Keep in mind that this
thing has the Dragon Block Staff, which sends out magic
attacks and absorbs dragons’ AND Dragoons’ power. So
let’s say you do 200 damage normally. You’ll do about
50 as a Dragoon with a complete perfect D-Attack.
Also, pretty much any move from him will kill you. So
we can’t let this happen. So here’s what you do:
You should have three people with no more than 199
SP. So turn into a Dragoon. You only have one turn,
so do your most powerful attack. After you’re done,
the person will become human again, and the thing will
not have used the D.B.S. So now this person has zero
SP. Do this with each person until nobody has any SP.
Next round, attack. Keep doing this until somebody has
somewhere from 100-199 SP. Repeat the Dragoon
transformation. This way, you can use your Dragoon
stuff, but it will actually do something, and you won’t
die by a flick of the finger.
So if somebody gets 200 SP, what do you do? Just
don’t use them for the Dragoon purpose anymore. If you
do, he will use the DBS, you’ll have to wait forever
for it to wear off, and by then, everybody will be over
200 SP anyway, so it’s useless to use Dragoons.
Okay, so now the actual battle. This big hunk of
rock is the most annoying thing in the world. He has
the most powerful magic attacks and likes to attack
more than he’s allowed. I really hope you have a LOT
of items. After a while, he’ll start lowering your
level. This means that everything—attack, defense, M-
attack, and M-defense—will drop. You’ll be more
vulnerable, won’t do as much damage, etc. This is why
I use Albert and Kongol. After a while, even a level 5
Gust of Wind Dance will only do about 120 damage when
it originally did 350. But if you have someone like
Meru or Miranda with their feeble attacks, you’ll be
getting somewhere near 50.
Another reason for using the above is their amazing
amounts of HP. Kongol should have somewhere near 2000
HP by now, and Meru around 700. So let’s say that a
particularly powerful magic attack does 800 to Kongol,
but only 450 to Meru. Meru seems better in this
position, but another hit like that would take her out,
whereas Kongol could withstand it again. This is my
reasoning. I compared two battles that I’ve had here.
In one, I used Albert and Kongol, started with 9
Healing Fogs, 8 Healing Breezes, 2 Healing Rains, and 5
Angel’s Prayers, and ended with 3 Healing Fogs, 4
Healing Breezes, 1 Healing Rain, and 4 Angel’s Prayers.
In the other, I used Meru and Haschel, started with the
same items, and ended with 2 Healing Fogs, 0 Healing
Breezes, 0 Healing Rains, and 3 Angel’s Prayers. So
you see, HP and attack make a BIG difference.
Back to the battle. This thing has some great magic
attacks. The worst is Spectral Flash, where bowls of
light come down, circle around, and meet on your party.
It kills. It will do 700-800 damage to Albert and
Kongol, and 600-700 to Dart. Heal whenever someone
gets into yellow, because they will probably die next
round if you don’t. Use Dragoon attacks whenever
possible. The best attacks to choose for each person
are:
~Dart: Final Burst/Flameshot
~Rose: Astral Drain
~Haschel: D-Attack or Thunder God/Thunder Kid
~Albert: D-Attack, Rose Storm/Gaspless
~Meru: Rainbow Breath or Diamond Dust
~Kongol: D-Attack
~Miranda: Gates of Heaven/Moon Light
Make sure you have some Sun Rhapsodies or Moon
Serenades. Keep trying your hardest to complete your
Additions and D-Attacks. Keep your people alive.
After he gets into red for a while, he revives 1350 HP.
All you have to do is continue what you’ve been doing
and attack. Don’t at all feel bad if you die in this
battle. Even if it’s five times in a row. This is a
killer battle. But you can do it. When it dies, he
vanishes.
___________________
After that, the Dragon Block Staff will come
floating down to you, and you discuss the guardian.
Now go out the door on the right. Head down to the
next screen and press X to jump down. Go down to the
next screen and head out. But before you can leave,
the Divine Dragon comes flying over! He’s headed for
Deningrad! Your party runs out, so run down and leave
this horrid place.
<------------------->
Forest of Winglies
<------------------->
Now you’re back, and Ancestor Blano is making sure
you got the staff and tries to send you to Deningrad.
He tries, and fails. But then come Meru’s parents!
Then they join in, and Guaraha. You’re on your way.
Now you see a movie. The Divine Dragon is attacking
Deningrad!! But this time, it’s major! He throws
balls all over the town, and shoots a big cannon thing
at the Crystal Palace, which is nearly half its size
now! Then he flies off.
<------------->
Deningrad
<------------->
Stardust: 5
You arrive upon a scene of devastation. Deningrad
is almost unrecognizable. Miranda runs after Queen
Theresa, and you need to follow her. Go all the way
into the castle. Miranda has arrived first and checks
on Setie and Luanna. They say they’re fine, and that
everything is okay thanks to “her.” Dart runs in and
checks on the two sisters as well, and now head up
stairs. Go to the next screen and up these stairs.
Wink is lying on the floor, but she’s okay. Then Dart
realizes that Shana’s room is gone! Wink says that she
was upstairs with Queen Theresa and should be okay.
Now continue.
You walk in on a barely visible scene. There is a
bright light coming from somewhere. Miranda says that
it was like that when she got there. Dart calls for
Shana, and Miranda calls for Queen Theresa. Then the
light dims, and it turns out that Shana was the source
of the light. Shana’s okay, but now we check on Queen
Theresa. She’s okay, too. Then Miranda breaks down
and cries because she is so relieved that nothing
happened to Queen Theresa.
Not many people were hurt according to Queen
Theresa. Then Miranda interjects the question about
the light that was here. You see a flashback. Shana
is walking into the throne room, and Queen Theresa asks
her if she is okay. She says no, but she can’t sit
still. As they talk, the attack happens, and Shana
walks up to Queen Theresa. She starts glowing. Back
to the now. Miranda thinks it was a miracle.
Apparently Shana saved everybody with this light of
hers. Then she goes into a pity party of how she
causes people pain, and Dart disagrees strongly. Then
everyone gathers around to comfort Shana, and she
faints. When Dart starts to leave, Miranda asks him
where he’s going, and he answers that he’s going to
fight the Divine Dragon. He asks Miranda to take care
of Shana, and she gets upset and says she’s going.
Then we leave.
Okay, now we’re in the hotel, and Shana is lying in
the bed. Dart is by her side, and he leaves to get
everybody so that they can see her before they leave.
Albert, Haschel, and Meru all come in to say goodbye to
her, and Meru asks if they got enough time alone.
Haschel laughs and says that he didn’t know that Meru
could be sensible. She said that she learned her
sensibility from Dart and Shana, and then leaves.
Haschel says that they need to leave and leaves, too.
Albert says that we will be back soon and follows
Haschel. Next come Miranda, Rose, and Kongol (who had
to stoop to get under the door). Miranda asks if she’s
all right, and Rose says that she can’t believe her
timing. Miranda gets on to her about being rude, Rose
retaliates, and Shana breaks them up. Rose leaves, and
Miranda asks if she’s always like that. Shana says
that Rose is really concerned about her, but doesn’t
show it. Miranda leaves, and Kongol comes up and
tells her to rest well because it’s good for her and
leaves. Dart says goodbye, and leaves.
Outside, he says that we’re leaving for the Mountain
of Mortal Dragon (a.k.a. Mt. Dragon Tomb). Now go up
into the castle. Continue to the next screen. Go to
the left, and instead of going north, go straight back
and check the crystals for a (1) Stardust. Continue on
to the next screen. Check the rocks that block off
what used to be the chamber where Shana lost her
Dragoon Spirit for a (2) Stardust. Now leave the
castle. Now go into the hotel and up into the clinic
in the attic. Check the circles in front of the window
for a (3) Stardust. Leave and go to the first part of
town. Over by the weapon and item shops, where they
laid down things to take, check it twice for (4-5)
Stardust. Now go talk to the woman tending to a hurt
man on the side of the street. Remember her? Martel!
Talk to her again to give her all your Stardust. You
should have at least 40, so you should have the
Physical Ring, Amulet, Wargod’s Sash, and Rainbow
Earring. Now stock up on items and weapons and leave
town.
Head east to the Evergreen Forest.
<----------------->
Evergreen Forest
<----------------->
Go north to the next area. Go down the stairs, and
instead of going to the right this time, go to the left
where the soldier is guarding the stairs. Miranda
comes out and tells of the Divine Dragon. Dart asks
about whether anything went through here previously.
The man replies that he fervently did not let anything
go through. Now we’re off to the Mountain of Mortal
Dragon. He steps aside, and you can move now. Get the
chest with a Body Purifier. Go to the left to leave.
Head north to the Mountain of Mortal Dragon.

Just head on to the next screen. Get the chest with
an Attack Ball in it and continue. Go around to the
right for a Mind Purifier, then to the left of the
cliff. Continue up the next two screens so you come to
the room with four exits. Go in the one near the
entrance first for a Healing Breeze. Now go below the
doorway for Giganto Armor. Go up to the north to the
next area. On the bottom of the trail, there is a
chest with a Dragon Helm in it. Continue on the path
to the next screen. Here you’ll hear growling and see
the Divine Dragon’s cannon shooting into the sky.
After we say some stuff, it fires again, and Haschel
says that that is what we are headed for. Rose says
that it is “As if… it is unburdening his anger all over
the world. The anger towards the Winglies who sealed
him.” He fires one more time, and now head up to the
next area.
To the left is a chest with a Total Vanishing. Save
your game and continue forward. Keep going, and Rose
will come out. Dart can hear the sound of swords,
indicating that someone is fighting the dragon already.
Rose says that either way, we’ll have to join in. Grab
the chest with a Body Purifier. Now head forward.
As we near the monster, we can clearly hear the
sound of swords and the Divine Dragon. Rose offers
anybody a pass on this; and Meru speaks up, but after
Haschel bugs her, decides to stay. We’re about to
charge when Lloyd shows up! He says that we are
earlier than he expected. He dodges some attacks and
regains his stance. He admits to having a hard time
trying to kill this thing, even with the Dragon Buster.
He also says that it is almost dead, and Dart can’t
believe he’s fighting that dragon alone. When Miranda
says something, Lloyd says that Miranda is the
replacement for “that girl” and “how convenient for
us.”
Then you see a movie of the Divine Dragon preparing
to fight, and then you see your party again. Lloyd has
disappeared, and you’re ready to go. You charge
against the king of dragons, the Divine Dragon.

Flash Hall
Okay, so first round, Dart uses the Dragon Block
Staff, which absorbs the power of dragons AND Dragoons
for the whole battle, so don’t even think about
Dragoons in this battle. Unless, of course, you use
the method used against the Grand Jewel. But do
remember that no attack will do anything as a Dragoon.
So only do that if you intend to use something like
Moon Light or Gates of Heaven that isn’t offensive.
Other than that, this guy has three parts: the
Divine Dragon himself, the Divine Ball, and the Divine
Cannon. Killing the Divine Dragon himself ends the
battle, the Divine Ball is an annoying magical attack
that hits all your party and really hurts, and the
Divine Cannon is a VERY powerful magic attack that hits
a single member and half-hits his neighbors. Because
the Divine Cannon takes a while to work, you’ll be
wanting to first take out the Divine Ball, then the
Cannon, then the Dragon. If you do, it will make this
battle much easier.
Watch out for his magic attacks, though. They hurt.
He throws stuff like Burning Wave, Down Burst, and
others. Just keep healing; you should be fine.
___________________
After that, you get a scene. The dragon’s head
falls and warps the ground. Lloyd comes and stabs the
dragon’s eye, and after a bright light sounds, the
Dragoon Spirit falls into Lloyd’s hands.
Lloyd talks about his plot against the world and how
this is a “prize” for him. Albert speaks up and says
that Lloyd is conspiring to destroy the world, and
Lloyd seems to think it funny to taunt Albert about
Lavitz or the Moon Gem being taken. Dart gets angry
and tells him not to even mention Lavitz’s name. He
disappears, and we need to find him.
Go down and to the next screen and the next and the
next until you reach the room with four exits. You’ll
know you’re here because Lloyd appears and turns to
look at you. As you run after him, he throws a
fireball at you and wings pop out of his back and throw
Dart and Rose off the cliff. Dart exerts that he did
not know that Lloyd was a Wingly, and then realizes
that Rose is knocked out. He bends over her to make
sure she’s okay, and she comes to, but not exactly.
When Dart asks if she knows who he is, she answers that
she thought he was dead. She puts her hand on his face
and says, “Don’t worry, I am carrying out your will.
We took this world back together, I won’t let them ruin
it. Virage… embryo. The moon… with black power.” Of
course, Dart thinks “black power” means “Black
Monster,” but Rose is already out again. You get a
flashback of Neet 18 years ago. You see the clip of a
soldier getting burned, then Dart and his parents
coming out of the burning village. His father tells
the two of them to stay there. His mom goes over and
give his dad a hug and kiss, and his dad tells her to
take care of Dart. She nods, and he runs off into the
village. His mother rubs his hair as she says that
Dart can take care of himself, then runs back to the
village to fight as well. He tries to follow but
trips. You hear the sound of a shining Dragoon Spirit,
then a growl… It’s morning, and young Dart is walking
around the burned village of Neet. He calls out for
his mom and dad, but they are nowhere to be found.
Then something shines… Dart picks it up and says that
it’s his dad’s important shiny stone.
Back to now, Dart quotes, “Count 108 years, and when
the Moon That Never Sets glares red, the Moon Child
descends to the earth and shall give a holy blessing to
the world.” But then he says that Fester said that
what was really sent was not the Moon Child, but the
Black Monster. He wonders out loud what the connection
is between the Black Monster and the Moon Child.
Suddenly, he hears a voice calling. It’s Meru!!
Apparently, she had been looking for us and finally
found us. She decides to carry them up, starting with
Rose.
So finally we’re all back on solid ground with Meru
almost passed out. Rose apologizes for letting Lloyd
go, and Dart says that nobody knew that he was a
Wingly. Albert points out that Lloyd is still going
after the Divine Moon Objects, and Dart asks Miranda
about the one in Mille Seseau. She finally gives in
and says the general story behind them and that this
one is called the Moon Mirror. Each throne has the key
to the seal over it. Then it clicks. Lloyd is going
after Queen Theresa!!!!!!!
Leave through the exit in the bottom right corner.
Follow the path and go down and down and down and all
the way out.
Head south to the Evergreen Forest.
<----------------->
Evergreen Forest
<----------------->
Upon entering, you’ll see 3rd Sacred Sister Wink
enter with three soldiers. She voices her concern
about Miranda and the others, and the knights reassure
her that they are fine because Dart and company are the
Dragoons of legend. The commander says that the
knights might not be needed as reinforcements. Then
they here another voice say that they are just humans
and cannot defeat the Dragon. Wink asks who this new
intruder is, and he (the younger Bardel) replies that
humans need not know his name. She recognizes him as a
Wingly, and he throws a fireball at the wall of
knights, knocking two off the cliff. Bardel says that
this is a battle of liberation and that Wink’s scream
is its overture, throws another fireball at her—and
Lloyd appears to block it. Wink remembers him, and
Lloyd starts to taunt Bardel. Bardel is terrified that
Lloyd blocked his magic, and starts firing repeated
magic balls at Lloyd, which repeatedly are blocked.
Lloyd continues to taunt Bardel until he finally stabs
him with his Dragon Buster. Bardel says he won’t die
alone and does a sort of self-destruct thing. Wink got
knocked out, and Lloyd is panting. Wink asks if he’s
alright, and he stands. She sees that he’s wounded
offers to let him be treated at the castle. But we
mustn’t forget, Lloyd wants Queen Theresa!
Now you’re back to Dart. Go all the way down the
stairs and out to the south of the screen. Continue
south. Just before you leave the forest, you’re
stopped by a knight calling for Miranda. She informs
him that they successfully killed the dragon, but
stops. She sees that he is injured and demands to know
what happened. He says that Queen Theresa was
abducted!!! Dart asks who did it, and he replies with,
“A man called Lloyd.” Now we know. Miranda punches
the knight and asks what he was doing while this all
went on. Albert asks where Lloyd took the queen, and
the commander says that Wink knows. He assures Miranda
that her sisters are safe and waiting for her. They
run and leave the forest.
Head west to Deningrad.
<------------->
Deningrad
<------------->
Now we need to get to the Crystal Palace. Head to
the next screen. Stop at the inn and save if you like,
then go into the Crystal Palace. Go up to the throne
room. Here you find Wink on the floor crying with
Setie and Luanna trying to comfort her. Miranda asks
about what happened. Luanna decides to tell her
instead. She says that when the Dragon stopped making
noise, they thought that the Dragon had been killed.
Everyone was happy.
Now you get a flashback. Luanna and Setie walk into
the throne room and talk to Queen Theresa about the
Dragon. They say that it’s been one week since the
Divine Dragon has shut up. Then Wink walks in. She
announces her arrival, and she says that the Divine
Dragon has indeed been successfully vanquished. Queen
Theresa thanks her and tells her to make sure that the
knights get a good night’s sleep. Wink says that her
knighthood is being treated and tells the story of
Bardel attacking her and her knights. The queen says
that Miranda said that Winglies are friendly, and an
unknown voice says that some Winglies are “militant.”
Then Lloyd walks in and bows to Queen Theresa. Wink
says that Lloyd saved them from the attack and told
them that the dragon is dead. When Queen Theresa asks
how he knows this, he replies that he bumped into our
party in the mountain. Queen Theresa thanks him. Wink
explains that it was Lloyd who saved her when she was
in Donau once, too. Then Luanna says, “It wasn’t a
coincidence, was it? Helping Wink, and coming here.”
Setie asks what she’s talking about, and she continues,
“The murderous intention you conceal inside… You cannot
disguise it in front of me.” Queen Theresa backs away,
and the commander comes between Lloyd and the queen.
Lloyd disappears and reappears in front of the queen
again, and when the knight tries to attack him, he
throws up some shield-type-thing that throws him back.
Queen Theresa asks what Lloyd wants, and he replies by
saying that he wants the Moon Mirror. He tries to get
her to reveal where it is, and when she does not
answer, he reads her mind and teleports them somewhere.
Now you’re back to the present. Dart demands that
Miranda finally tell them where the Moon Mirror is, and
she finally says: in the Tower of Flanvel, to the west
of Kashua Glacier. Rose says that Theresa is the key
to the tower. Miranda nods and tells Wink that she’ll
take care of everything. Dart says that we will get
the queen back. Then they dash out. Leave the palace,
stock up on items, and leave.
Head southwest to Kashua Glacier.

When you enter, Meru runs off to play and Dart
comments on the bitter cold. Miranda says that here
the earth is eternally covered in ice and that she
understands that it must be hard for someone who’s
never been here before. Meru asks her how she can
stand it. Miranda goes into a long explanation about
coming here to “find solace for my loneliness.” She
says that Queen Theresa is not her birth mother. Her
real mother abandoned her when she was a child. Queen
Theresa took her in. Dart tries to cheer her up, and
now we’re off.
Go up to get a Thunderbolt. Go back down and to the
left. Follow the path, go right for a Heat Blade, and
leave for the next screen. Go up, get the chest on the
right with a Gushing Magma, then the one on the bottom
left with a Heavy Mace for Meru, then go down the
spiral that you went by earlier. Get the chest with a
Gushing Magma, then talk to the two guys. These are
two peddler brothers. One sells weapons, one sells
items. Do what you will then head down. Here you need
to slide down poles of ice. Go down the first and then
the left first for a Dancing Ray. Go back up and this
time go to the right. Follow the paths until you reach
a fork. Here go to the right to get a Phoenix Plume.
Go back up and to the left. Save at the bottom.
Choose a good party (not your best, as this battle
isn’t too difficult) and Additions, etc. As you have
probably guessed, there is a boss battle coming up.
Head right, and you’ll be stopped by a growl coming
from the right. You pause, but then continue. Go
under the bridge for a Fatal Blizzard and then go up
it. Go to the left, and you’ll fell a rumble and hear
another growl. Kongol says that the monster’s angry
that we came here. Haschel says it must be crazy to
live in a place as cold as this, but Kongol says that
the creature doesn’t know coldness, just to kill.

Boss Battle
===========
Name: Windigo
HP: 10,000
Element: Water
Recommended Party: Dart, Meru, and Kongol/Albert
Difficulty: Moderate
Experience: 11,000
Gold: 250
Item: Brass Knuckle
This guy has a boatload of hit points. If you have
the SP, use your Special. Use Dart’s Final Burst; it
should do about 1500 to him at this point. Make Meru
do Rainbow breath and her D-Attack because her water
moves don’t do much to this guy. If you have Kongol,
use his D-Attack, and with Albert, use his Rose Storm
and D-Attack.
The Windigo has some pretty nasty attacks, like when
he conjures up an arm and sticks it through the ground,
but you have some magic- and physical-resistant people
here, so you should be good. Other than Dragoons, just
attack him with your best Additions. He may have a lot
of HP, but it will slowly dwindle. If necessary, use
some Sun Rhapsodies or Moon Serenades so that you can
use Dart’s Final Burst; it helps with the HP problem.
Another thing: don’t attack him if he picks up your
people and puts them in his mouth; that hurts the
person, too.
___________________
After that, go to the left for a Black Rain. Now go
up to the next screen. Continue and you’ll get some
dialogue. You get to see the Tower of Flanvel for the
first time. This is where the Moon Mirror is kept.
When Albert says that this can’t be built by humans,
Rose interjects that the Winglies used to use it as a
floating fort. Then they discuss how much power must
be concealed in each Divine Moon Object. Now head up
and to the left for a Rave Twister. Now go up to the
next screen.

Get the box on the right for a Spirit Ring. Then go
through the teleporter on the left. This is a very
strange part of this place. First go through the one
directly to the right, then on the far right. Get the
chest with a Mage Ring in it, then go to the left. Go
through the one across, then to the top.
Here you are, at the heart of the Tower of Flanvel.
In that weird-looking thing is the Moon Mirror, Lloyd,
and Queen Theresa. There’s a flash of light, and Rose
says that there’s a Dragoon Spirit in there: the Divine
Spirit that Lloyd has. Go up and SAVE, but do EXACTLY
as I say:
~Pick Albert and Kongol as your party.
~Pick Albert’s and Kongol’s strongest Additions (Gust
of
Wind Dance, and either of Kongol’s depending on
DAM%).
~Pick Dart’s Addition with the best SP gain (Madness
Hero).
~Make sure Dart has full MP.
~***Equip Dart with the Talisman that you should not
have
sold.***
~SAVE!!!
That should be good. Now continue into the thing that
looks like an egg sac. You see Lloyd retrieving the
Moon Mirror with Theresa next to him. When she asks
him what he is, He is interrupted by Dart appearing in
the teleporter. Lloyd flashes the three Divine Moon
Objects and says that he has all three. He says that
the “world will be reborn into the utopia that Emperor
Diaz and I desire.” Dart has no idea what he’s talking
about, and Lloyd turns to the queen, saying that she
should know what the “evolutionary plan” is. He says
that humans were the 106th species, Winglies were the
107th, but Lloyd wants to see the 108th. Now we battle
perhaps the most powerful Wingly in the world.
___________________
===========
Boss Battle
===========
Name: Lloyd
HP: 6500
Element: Non-Elemental
Recommended Party: Dart, Kongol, and Albert
Difficulty: Difficult
Experience: 12,000
Gold: 300
Item: None
Now you’re probably wondering why I would bring
Albert and Kongol into such a magical battle. Well,
this is where the Talisman comes in. Dart is probably
on DLV 5 by now, or at least 4, and he should have that
Talisman on. What you do is transform Dart into a
Dragoon and no one else. Now remember that Lloyd has
the Dragon Buster that can pierce right through Dragoon
armor, which in battle means that you are immediately
dead: a “Can’t Combat.” Well, a Talisman blocks
against that. So the entire time Dart is a Dragoon,
Lloyd is preoccupied with trying to kill Dart but
can’t, and Kongol and Albert are hacking away unscathed
at Lloyd with their amazingly powerful attacks.
Just remember to heal regularly because if he does
hit you with a particularly powerful attack, most
likely, the next one, you’re going to be dead. If you
have to pick between healing somebody and attacking
with Albert, make sure Albert always attacks if he has
an opportunity, because Albert has the best attack out
of your party.
After your Dragoon thing with Dart ends, make sure
you keep everyone alive. His attacks will get a LOT
stronger because he won’t be so caught up in trying to
kill Dart. You can do it. It’s a tough battle, but
beatable. At the end, Dart will do his signature move,
but miss.
And just really quickly, I’d like to insert that
this
strategy (with the whole Talisman thing) did not come
from my own brain, but rather from that of Link San.
It really is a good one, as well.
___________________
Dart attacks Lloyd but misses, and Lloyd jumps to
the other side of the room. Dart raises his weapon,
and Lloyd stands up, waiting. Suddenly, Wink appears
through the teleporter and is horrified by the scene in
front of her. Not noticing her, Dart runs forward and
attacks Lloyd, but slashes Wink instead; she shielded
Lloyd! She then asks Dart to forgive Lloyd for what
he’s done.
Now you see everyone at the base of the egg sac
waiting for someone. Rose asks Albert whether he
should be up there or not because Lloyd killed Lavitz.
He replies by affirming his trust in Dart that he will
bring us the right answer.
Lloyd asks why. Why did Wink shield him? He
repeats his sins to her, including that he used her,
but she says that even though those things are true, he
still saved her life. She adds that killing Lloyd
won’t solve any problems that they have. She limps
over to Dart and announces that Shana has been
kidnapped! Dart is horrorstruck, and Wink says that
Emperor Diaz came and said to bring the three Divine
Moon Objects to Vellweb to get her back. Lloyd hands
over the Moon Objects and tells Dart to take them to
Emperor Diaz and get Shana back. He says that he has
done all his tasks and is ready to die. He holds out
his arms, ready for Dart to strike. Dart readies his
weapon, then drops it and punches Lloyd so hard that he
hits the wall. Lloyd gets up and asks Dart why he
didn’t just kill him. He replies by saying that by
killing Lloyd, nobody Lloyd killed would come back. He
says that he’s going to make Lloyd “see it through to
the end.” Then he teleports down, and Lloyd sits down
and says, “Passion… Is this the power that drives
them?”
Meanwhile, Dart has come down, and he repeats what
happened above. They discuss what they have to do.
Dart asks Queen Theresa for the Moon Mirror so that we
can get “our dear Shana” back. She agrees, and starts
a speech about how we are not the only races in the
world. Dart determines to take Shana back from even
fate, and Queen Theresa tells Miranda to go with him.
Now we’re back at the entrance of the Tower of
Flanvel. Wink, Queen Theresa, and some soldiers leave;
and Dart asks Lloyd a question: why did you save Wink.
He says he has no reason, but I don’t believe that. I
think that Lloyd has some good in him and couldn’t not
save her. Now leave.
Go out the way you came until you get to the area
with three exits. Go to the left past the sign and up.
Head west to the Snowfield.

Upon entering, you’ll see a terrible blizzard is
raging. Continue to the left and get the chest for a
Burn Out. Continue, and Lloyd will point out a cave in
which we can retire. He has something to tell us.
They go into the cave, and Lloyd has a flashback.
***SPOILER ALERT***
Emperor Diaz is speaking about the regeneration of
the world. He and Lloyd are in the ruin of Kadessa
three years ago. Emperor Diaz is still speaking.
“The world now is rotten, like a fallen fruit. It
has the same smell as the world ruled by Melbu Frahma,
the Wingly dictator. The world… where inertia is
considered to be peace, and the easy path leads to
devolution. The overture to the destruction has
already begun.”
“‘Devolution’”…. You are saying that is the reason
why our magic power is deteriorating?”
“It is not only for you, Winglies. It is the danger
all species are facing.”
“Now, how can we regenerate the world?”
“You Winglies are merely the 107th species. The
great will, the creator Soa prepared the last… the
108th species. The last species is the last god, which
will regenerate the world and lead us to utopia!”
Now we’re back in the present. Lloyd quotes the
“Count 108 years” thing, and he says that the Moon
Child is the 108th species—the god that gives a holy
blessing to the world. Rose says that this is not
true, but Lloyd objects. He asks why the Black Monster
kills the Moon Child all the time, and Rose has nothing
to say. He answers and says that the Black Monster
wants to stop the Moon Child because he can’t imagine
himself scorched to death by the holy light of him.
Dart asks what the Divine Moon Objects have to do
with the Moon Child. He says that the Winglies feared
that they would no longer be the supreme species, so
they sealed off the 108th species. The seal is called
the signet, and the only things that can dissolve it
are the Moon Objects. So Albert deduces that they were
going to release the god using the Objects. Then Lloyd
says that that is all and sits down. However, Dart
gets riled up and rushes at him, demanding why he took
Shana away if he desires a utopia. Albert rushes
forward to stop any oncoming fights, and Lloyd says
that everything will be explained in Vellweb.
***END OF SPOILERS***
The next morning, Meru rushes out of the cave and
shouts that the blizzard is over. Dart comes out, and
now you’re all rested up. Go to the left into the next
screen. Here there’s a slide down a hill to the left.
There are two chests on the way down. When you go
down, you will be prompted to press X four times. If
you want the chests, here’s how to get them:
1. Go down the left side (the farther side).
Press X the 1st, 3rd, and 4th times that you are
prompted.
You get a Magic Shield.
2. Go down the right side (the closer side).
Press X the 2nd and 4th times.
You get a Dancer’s Ring.
At the bottom of the slide, Rose, Kongol, and Meru
pop out. Meru blames Dart for all of them falling down
here. Then she notices the green glowing thing to the
left. She says that there are some Wingly letters
here, and that she might be able to read it. She says
“Winglies, ouch, mos.” She can’t really read it. Dart
says that there are some human letters, and Kongol says
that he sees some Giganto letters. Rose, however, just
walks right over there and reads out, “The cursed land
where the decline of the Winglies began. Nobody is
allowed to touch the door. The judge Nomos of the
court of Zenebatos.”
Rose explains that Zenebatos is one of the most
prosperous ancient Wingly cities. Dart asks if it’s
over through the doorway, but Rose says that this place
is the Human Fort Magrad. But we need to get to
Vellweb. Now go up the path. The first chest has a
Burning Wave, and the second has a Gushing Magma.
Continue until you come out of a hole above the slide.
Go up and leave.
Head west to Vellweb.

First of all, this place has some tough enemies.
Prepare yourself. Lloyd says that we are here at
Vellweb. Dart points out the seven towers in the
distance and asks if that is where Diaz is. Lloyd says
that he is below them. Albert asks if this place is
abominable as well since it is where the humans started
their liberation. Meru says that this place is the
same as Kadessa: if you drag the past around, you
cannot walk anywhere. Albert remembers and agrees.
Now head down the stairs. Continue up the next
ones. Follow the path and enter the doorway for an
Attack Ball. Go back and continue to the left. Now go
down below you and you’ll see two more peddlers. They
are saying that there are no customers here and that
they should probably go home. However, they see you
and ask you to buy their stuff. Stock up on weapons
and items. Once you’re done, go back to the left.
Rose will pop out and tell you about a place where
Dragoons used to shoot at Flanvel Tower. Go back down
and to the left.
Go up a little bit, and there will be a flash of
light. Then Shirley appears. She says she’s been
waiting for us. Rose asks why she’s here, and Shirley
replies that she couldn’t leave the trapped souls alone
in this world. Rose seems to know who or what she’s
talking about, and Shirley says that the four Dragoons
who died in the Dragon Campaign were drawn to Mayfil
and that it is asking for the Dragoons’ souls. Rose
says that she thought it was destroyed. But Shirley
says that its gate is still open. Shirley says that
she anchored their souls in this city, but that is all
she can do. She asks us to come back later and lead
these people’s souls to heaven. Then she vanishes with
a flash of light. Rose says that the Dragoon souls are
in the towers, but we need to go down to meet Diaz.
Go up and save if you wish, then head up the stairs
to the left of the save point. Go up to the tower
directly above you and search the back for a (1)
Stardust. Go all the way back down, and this time, go
down the stairs on the bottom left. Continue along the
path and all the way to the back. Go down the stairs,
skip the first doorway, go into the second for Rose’s
Hairband, skip the third, go into the fourth for a
Spirit Potion, and go back and enter the third doorway.
Continue down the steps and into the doorway. Go
across the bridge.
I don’t think I’ll tell this part. I originally had it
in there, but when they changed formats on me, I didn’t
feel like revising it. So I just took it out.
But real quick:
***SPOILER ALERT***
Zieg is really Emperor Diaz, as well as Rose’s former
lover when they fought together in the Dragon Campaign
11,000 year ago, and Dart’s father. Rose is the Black
Monster, having saved the world from the in reality
destroyer-of-the-world Moon Child every 108 years for
11,000 years. And finally, Shana is the Moon Child
that will destroy the world if united with the Moon
That Never Sets. Zieg then sets out to destroy the
release the Moon and cross it with the Moon Child.
***END OF SPOILERS***
This is the end of Chapter 3: Fate and Soul. You
should have 46 Stardust.

Chapter 4: Moon and Fate

Here it is: the very last chapter of the Legend of
Dragoon. Truths will be revealed, fears will be
realized, and fate will be decided. But ultimately,
this last disc will test the true gamer inside you.

This place is terrible. If you don’t know how to
navigate this place, you have no hope of ever making it
out the other side. Well, maybe a little, but it’s
kind of the same chances you have to get past the
unending staircase in The Darkest Faerie if you don’t
know how (by the way, my brother got past that
staircase on complete random chance).
Upon entering, you’ll see your people in a desert
walking toward the camera, but Rose and Dart stay
behind. Next, they come up to another area, again
everyone except Dart and Rose, and Meru says that she’s
completely worn out. Albert says that we cannot go
back now since we came so far. Haschel agrees. Kongol
says that the Wingly city is “just over there.”
Haschel says that it’s called Ulara. Then Dart comes,
everyone goes into him, then Rose follows. Okay, now
you begin your tedious trek through this blasted
desert. Go down, not into the cave, and save if you
wish. Here’s a map of how to navigate. (I do not take
credit for this map; that goes to Desmond Xie. I would
not have gotten through this place without it.)

The first time you fall down a sand fall, Albert will
come out, and they talk about the end of the world.
After that, just head up to the exit and continue your
trek.
The battles here are not normal. You get into one
whenever you touch a fly, sandworm, or a plant that are
wandering around here. Plus these battles are a bit
tougher than previously, so I hope you’re well
prepared. Training around here would be very
beneficial at the moment, as this is by far the hardest
disc yet.
As you go through this place, get whatever treasures
you may want, leave behind those you don’t, and mainly
try to get through the desert.
When you reach the first recovery point that is not
underground, Meru comes out and starts jumping for joy
at sight of the water. She and Haschel run up and
drink it; Meru dunks her face in. Kongol says that
since there are no monsters here, we can rest for a
second. Miranda inquires Rose as to what the Winglies
of Ulara will know. Rose says that they will know what
“way we, or at least ‘I’, should take.” She says that
there is no need for us to come with her. Miranda
protests and says that this is no longer just Rose’s
problem. They start a quarrel, and Miranda slaps her.
Albert steps forward to intervene, and the women face
opposite directions. He says that no one could
possibly understand what it was like to have to bear
that burden, but that we can at least help her with it.
Dart says that that is why we’re going with her.
Everyone except Rose goes into him, and he walks
forward and says, “There is no other way, is there?”
She enters him, and now we’re free to move once more.
Drink from the water, save, and now we continue our
journey through this desolate land.
When you get to the second recovery point, drink
from the water, save again, and continue up to leave
the Death Frontier.
Head south to Ulara.
<------------->
Ulara
<------------->
Here you’ll see a teleporter looking over the
endless desert. Rose says that even if someone managed
to get through the desert, there is no way they could
get to Ulara. Rose holds something in her hands and
says that this Choker stopped time for her so she would
be in a never-dying body. This Choker is the only way
to see the Spring Breath Town, Ulara. Albert asks
where it is, Haschel jumps up for a better look, and
Meru hovers over them, looking for the city. She says
that she can sense people’s feelings originating from
the unknown desert. Rose jumps up to the tallest point
and holds up the Choker. There’s a flash of light, and
the town is revealed in the distance. She says that
the teleporter will get us there. Everybody goes into
Dart, and now you can move. Get the Angel’s Prayer in
the chest, then press X to go into Ulara.
You’re greeted by a Wingly named Caron. She
welcomes you and introduces herself as the guard of the
teleporting device. Rose says hi. When Dart asks if
Caron gave Rose the Choker, Rose says that it was
Charle Frahma, whom we are going to meet. Once you can
move again, go up.
Choose the left path and go up. As you enter the
scene, Dart comments that Shana would like to see the
roses. As Miranda gazes at them, Haschel says that
he’s glad there’ still some woman in her. Miranda says
that she is disgusted with roses. The only reason they
have thorns is to bring out their own red with people’s
blood. (Oh, my.) After they go into Dart, check the
roses for a (1) Stardust. Save if you want, and go to
the left. Here are the shops. Go through the
teleporter. The dude behind the counter sells weapons,
and the woman walking around sells items. Stock up,
then check the barrels at the top of the screen for a
(2) Stardust. Leave and go back to the area with four
exits. Go to the top right and take the teleporter.
Walk forward, and Rose will come out and ask where
Charle is. Miata says that she is preparing to tell us
some stuff. She says that the Signet of the Moon is
called the Signet Sphere. It was created just in case
the Moon Child reached the Moon, acting as the last
barrier. Then she says that Zieg is trying to destroy
the signet using the Divine Moon Objects. Dart
intervenes here and asks why they made objects to
destroy the Signet Sphere if it seals off the God of
Destruction. She says to ask Charle. Now check the
weird plants to the right for a (3) Stardust. Continue
to the left and take the teleporter.
As you appear, someone says something. Then you see
Charle sitting on a weird-looking couch and the sad
music starts. Rose is rather rude and demands to have
her question answered. Instead, Charle asks to be
introduced to Dart, the son of “dear Zieggy.” Rose
does, and Charle comments on his likeness to Zieg. I’m
just going to let you figure out what it says. So have
fun with it, even though it’s forever long.
Afterwards you can move around. Rose is talking
with Charle, and the rest of your party is gone, too.
So guess what? We get to go find them. As you leave,
Charle tells you this. Go upstairs for a Moon Serenade
and leave. Go down to the next screen. As you come
out to the place with the man-eating plants (which are
now sleeping), Dart thinks, “Now our way is opened.
Shana, I’ll be there soon.” Just then Rose comes out,
weird music starts, and they have a conversation. It
was omitted for the same reasons as was stated above.
Afterwards we are free to move. Exit to the bottom
left. Go to the bottom right and take the teleporter.
Now you see Miranda and Haschel (a strange couple) in a
bar talking. The following conversation tells more
about their personalities.
Later, they finish drinking and Dart says we should
go. Now let’s head out. This time go to the upper
left-hand corner. Continue on to the shops. In here
are Albert and Kongol looking for newer and better
weapons for the upcoming journey. The man in the shop
tells you that they are about to close, so we had
better get a move on. If you didn’t stock up earlier,
you had better do so now. Then leave and go back to
the place with four exits. Go to the only remaining
one: the bottom left-hand corner. Here Meru is
speaking with Caron about the teleporting device and
explaining how it works. Caron says that in the
morning she can send us all the way to the Home of
Gigantos, so that we can hop on the Queen Fury in
Fletz, and that will take us to Rouge. Dart complains
that we might as well go directly to Rouge, but Caron
says that the Winglies do not have the power that they
did in the old days, so they can’t go that far.
(Although, if you look at the map, they’re
approximately the same distance from Ulara.) Then we
decide to spend the night at Charle’s.
Pick your party, and when you’re done, you appear in
Charle’s house. Leave and go back to the teleporting
device. Here awaiting you are Charle, Miata, Caron,
and about twenty other Winglies floating in the sky.
Charle says that it’s “a send-off for great heroes.”
She impresses upon us just how important it is for us
to stop Zieg. Then they get in the teleporter and
leave.
Strangely enough, you’re on the World Map. Go east to
the Home of Gigantos.
<----------------->
Home of Gigantos
<----------------->
Upon entering, you see Kongol pushing a statue head
out of a small hole over the cliff. Dart follows him
out, then Haschel, Meru, Miranda, Albert, and Rose.
Heal with the Rock Fireflies if you want, then head
down. Continue through this screen and out to the
World Map.
Head east to the Valley of Corrupted Gravity.
<---------------------------->
Valley of Corrupted Gravity
<---------------------------->
Follow the path out. You should be able to find
your way. If not, refer to the second chapter for more
details.
Head east to the Barrens.
<------------->
Barrens
<------------->
Just go through toward Fletz. And I promise this
will be the last time you’ll have to go through here.
Head southwest to Fletz.
<------------->
Fletz
<------------->
Get any provisions you might need, sleep at the inn
if necessary, then go up to the castle.
<------------->
Twin Castle
<------------->
Upon entering, Dart will walk forward and you’ll see
King Zior, Princesses Emille and Lisa, Fester, and the
maid Libria waiting for you. King Zior starts the
conversation and says he’s been waiting for us. When
Dart asks what’s going on, Emille explains that Charle
sent them a message saying what’s happening and why we
need a ship. King Zior asks you to save the world,
then tells you that we need to go to the basement to
hop on the Queen Fury and get on our way to Rouge.
Everyone says their farewells, and now we need to
leave.
Take one good look at the castle: this could be the
last time you see it in this game (well… unless you
come back later, but it’s still not likely). When
you’re ready, go into either of the doors next to the
staircase. In here is the dock under the castle.
Inside, you meet Commodore Puler and Kayla. They
discuss certain things. It appears that everyone now
knows about the entire end-of-the-world thing. Kayla
tells you to get what you need from the city and
return, and if you haven’t done that, you really
should. Now go to the right and talk to Kayla when
you’re ready, and we’ll leave for the final stretch of
the journey (sort of).
Head west to Rouge.
<------------->
Rouge
<------------->
Stardust: 1
When you enter, all the people come to see who’s
coming to their outlying little town. When you hop out
of your boat, Haschel wonders if anybody even remembers
him after 20 years, and—lo and behold!—up rushes
somebody calling his name. This guy is the mayor, and
he is good friends with Haschel. The two exchange
greetings, and Haschel introduces the rest of us. Then
he asks if we can talk in a more enclosed area. Of
course the mayor agrees, and asks us to “come up.”
Now you can move. First go to the people on the top
right who are standing right next to each other. The
item seller’s on the left, and weapon’s on the right.
Stock up and buy what you need (or want), then go to
the front to the ladder and go up and up. Here is the
“up” place the guy was talking about. Now go out to
the right, but not down the ladder for a Wargod’s
Calling. Go back and go down the ladder that you
didn’t go down just a second ago for a Satori Vest.
Head back up and this time, go out through the top of
the screen.
Here you see what should be by now a very familiar
face. What do you know, Martel’s in Rouge!! Don’t
talk to her yet. Just go through for now. Get the
chest containing 100G, then check the barrel to the
right for a (1) Stardust. Might I also say the LAST
Stardust!!!! Congratulations! (That is, if you’ve
gotten all the others, too.) Now go back and talk to
Martel.
Of course she recognizes you. Then Haschel
remembers seeing her around when he was here last. We
then discover her reason for wanting the Stardust: her
daughter is deathly sick and won’t get better without a
miracle, which we can now provide. She then takes the
Stardust that we’ve already given her and makes an
incomplete half-wish for her daughter. As you see, the
sickness evaporates off her, and she gets up. Then
Martel hugs her, a little too tightly, and since this
is a mother-daughter moment, we decide to leave just to
be nice.
So now we’re back in the main room. Now you should
go back and give Martel the last of the Stardust. Now
you finally give her your very last and final Stardust,
and in turn she gives you the very last and final
artifact: the Vanishing Stone. This may appear to do
absolutely nothing, but it allows you to do a side-
quest which gives a LOT of experience (and gold, might
I add). Now go back to the main room.
Save, then talk to the mayor in the yellow clothes.
Haschel and the mayor exchange a bit more small talk,
then get on to the big stuff. They discuss that we’re
trying to get to the ancient Wingly cities, and Haschel
asks if they’ve seen anything around that doesn’t look
human-made. Then they say that a “stick” (I’m just
saying it’s more like a tower than a stick) is rising
out of the sea, but is unapproachable due to the
whirlpool raging around it. They tell us to go to the
cliff top to see it. So off we go.
Go down onto the main level using the left or bottom
ladders. Head to the bottom of the screen, and you’ll
be on the blessed land. Move on to the next screen.
Keep going up until you reach the platform. The people
training leave, and you get a clear view of a tower out
in the ocean. Of course, this is what the people were
talking about. They say a few obvious points, then
Miranda asks Rose if she knows what it is. She lists
the three cities that we’re gonna be headed to, then
says that the only one that was near here was the Magic
City Aglis. Apparently, this is the most likely place
for Zieg to strike first. Then everyone wants to know
what she meant by “Law City,” “Death City,” and “Magic
City.” She tells you of the Birth City Crystal Palace
and how the Winglies selected the babies that were to
be born. Then she talks of the Death City Mayfil that
controls people’s spirits after they die. Then she
asks if you have any other questions. Now you can ask
about any city you want, including the Forbidden Land.
I won’t list what she says about these; you can find
that out for yourself. We decide to find a way to it,
since we can’t go by boat. (And if you remember, in
the second disc Shana and Rose explain that it’s too
difficult to transform into a Dragoon out of battle;
therefore, they can’t fly over.)
Anyway, Dart automatically leaves the terrace. Go
down to the next screen, and you’ll see into the Mirror
Room of Aglis, where in the middle, you can see Dart,
Rose, and Haschel standing. There’s also a Wingly to
one side. Now we return to us, and Rose seems to think
that we’re being watched. Then an earthquake seemingly
starts. The mayor says that the sea is splitting (it’s
Moses all over again!). We head up to the terrace to
see things clearly again. Obviously, the sea has
split, right up to the city itself. Now we just need
to get there. Go back to where you entered the city,
where your boat’s parked. Get on it and choose (if you
are ready) to head to Aglis. (What we’re gonna do here
is sail to where the sea split and walk down the ocean
floor to Aglis. I didn’t understand that for a while.)

Here you’ll see a very purple room with a waterfall
on the left. Rose tells Dart to open the door. So go
up and open the door. Everyone goes in. In here is an
even more open space under the water, held up by magic.
Meru flies around while everybody else talks about the
place. After a while, the door behind shuts; the sea
closed up. No way to go but forward. So take the
teleporters.
At the next screen, a creature comes up to talk to
us. Its name is Ruff. He’s here to give us a message:
“Welcome to the seven heroes fated to be here. And
Rose, these thousands of years I have waited were
neither as long as eternity nor as short as a mere
twinkle of a star. People who confront their fate with
courage….” Apparently he forgot the rest, to
everyone’s annoyance. There’s some unimportant talk,
but Meru says that this thing’s made out of magic.
Then as he leaves, Ruff says something about the
Psychedelic Bomb and Moot. Now head forward.
Now you start in a series of mazes, but they’re not
that hard. Take the first teleporter, obviously. The
chest contains a Burn Out, then take the next one. The
next chest has a Gushing Magma, then take the next
teleporter and follow it until you reach a place with
two chests, the left holding a Magical Hat and the
other a Moon Serenade. Now go back to the first of
this chain of teleporters and go on to the next screen.
Take the first teleporter, and the second, and on to
the next screen. In here are more of those magic
things like Ruff. To the left, there’s a chest with an
Angel’s Prayer. Get it, and go to the next screen.
Take the first teleporter, then you can choose between
the first one right in front of you, or the one to the
right of that. They both lead to the same platform,
which has a Sun Rhapsody on it. Either way, you’ll get
that. Then go through the one furthest from the
starting point and follow that until you make it to the
end of this screen. But then a new kind of magic
creature will appear and talks about Rose and a guy
named Savan. Another message: “Zenebatos, which
governs the rightful law, has lost its reason, and
Mayfil, which governs over noble death, has been toyed
with by devils from the infernal world. This city is
no exception. My magic power is deteriorating and
cannot prevent the invasion by monsters anymore. The
only saving grace is my…. This city’s objective is
about to be completed. You are the key. I have been
waiting for you for thousands of years. Come, before
he comes.” Then the thing leaves, and now head
forward.
Here is the mirror room where we first saw us. Go
on through. Here take the teleporter, get the chest
with a Healing Fog, then take the other teleporter.
Continue through them all until you come to the next
screen. Take the teleporter, and now you are in the
middle of a big platform covered in teleporters. The
one to the left leads to the one on top. The one to
the bottom leads to a Healing Rain. The one to the
top-right leads to the end. Do whatever and go to the
next screen.
Here Savan talks to us, but we can’t see him. He
suddenly appears and introduces himself. He says that
the Signet Sphere is protected by the Last Kraken. He
talks about how he has worked on this because he
started watching Rose in the Mirror Room, and then that
we will stop Zieg with the Psychedelic Bomb and seal
the Moon forever with the Moot. He says that in order
to activate the Psychedelic Bomb, he needs our courage
(and you will figure out what that means here in a
minute). Now talk to him. Say you’re ready, and you
can walk across to the place with seven colored spots
on the floor. Here, each person from your party gets
transported to who knows where on spots of their
respective colors. Dart stays behind however. Savan
comes and tells him to wait until last. Save now, then
talk to Savan to start the challenges.
I’m just going to tell you the correct answers
rather than going through it all.
Kongol
Take Doel’s sword.
Miranda
1. For the world.
2. I cannot die now.
Albert
I… cannot do that.
Meru
I still cannot die!
Haschel
I couldn’t stop her.
Rose
You don’t have to do anything.
Dart
I will save Shana no matter what!
Now you are officially done. When Dart finishes, he
goes down the path to where the others are waiting for
him. Miranda says Savan is awaiting the results. Pick
your party when you can, then head to the left for the
results.
Take the first teleporter, then the one across the
platform, then the one nearest the camera, then follow
it out. Here the Psychedelic Bomb is being formed.
The courage from all of the tests is gathering at a
central point. Go forward, and Savan points this out.
You automatically walk to the center, then it finally
forms right into Dart’s hands. By the way, the power
of the Bomb is judged by how well you did on the
previous challenges. If you got them all right, it
becomes a repeat item, which you can use infinitely,
but only once per battle. If not, then you can only
use it once in the rest of the game. Then Ruff enters
and says that the Moot is complete and just needs to be
booted up. So now we’re off to activate it.
Go down into the next screen. This time Savan goes
in front of you to show you the way, so I don’t need to
tell you where to go (as if it’s not obvious or
anything). But the first chest contains 200G. The
second has a Healing Breeze. Continue on to the next
screen. SAVE, get the appropriate people, and continue
on when you’re ready.
In the next room, Savan shows you the Signet Sphere
and the Last Kraken and Moot, a red light on the floor.
But then the Last Kraken throws a sort of fit, and you
hear Zieg’s voice. Then we discover that it’s coming
from the Kraken. He’s manipulated it! Then he starts
to attack the Signet, and it’s our job to stop him.

Name: Last Kraken

Recommended Party: Dart, Kongol, and Albert
Difficulty: Moderate
Experience: 12,000
Gold: 300
Item: Pretty Hammer
This battle isn’t too difficult, but he does have
some pretty powerful magic attacks. Here you should
probably start out with a Special. Have Dart use a
whole bunch of Final Bursts and/or Flameshots, Kongol
use D-Attack, and Albert use first a Rose Storm, then
D-Attack. After a while, he’ll throw out things called
Cleones. Kill them first, cause when they attack, it’s
a pretty nasty attack. Have Kongol heal when
necessary. Just try your hardest, and you’ll pull
through.
___________________
Now there’s chaos. Everything’s going wrong, or so
it seems. Savan teleports us right outside the room,
and Dart tries to open the door, but to no avail. He
tries to get Savan to come out, too, but he’s ready to
die, so he stays. He tells us to hurry on to the next
Signet; the one in Aglis is being destroyed. He says
he’ll give us “wings to fly the sky” all the way to the
Moon That Never Sets. Then it all ends….
Rose quickly pulls us together and reminds us of our
duty. Save if you want, then head out toward the
entrance to Aglis. As you go through the various
rooms, you’ll see that since Savan died, all the
creatures he’d made are dying as well. When you arrive
at the Mirror Room, Decal and Spino are in here. They
show you, with their last power, Zieg shattering the
Moon Mirror because he no longer needs its power to
destroy the Signet Sphere in Aglis. They say that he’s
now in Zenebatos and that the teleporting device has
been linked there. Then they die. Now continue on.
After a while, you’ll get to the place where you first
met one of Savan’s creatures. When you get here, go
toward the closed door on the left. Press X, and Rose
will say that this is most likely where the teleporter
is. The door opens, and you automatically enter.
They discuss it a while, then decide to leave now.
Step in the green circle, and go to Law City Zenebatos.

Leave the room and you’ll see a desolate looking
place. Where Aglis was all purple and blue, Zenebatos
is bleak and brown. Rose starts talking about how the
city made laws and things like that. Then a weird
looking thing comes up on a hovering device and says,
“WARNING. ZENEBATOS IS UNDER MARTIAL LAW. LEAVE THE
CITY AT ONCE.” Look at that. It’s still running.
Then the thing flies away saying repeated warnings.
Then Meru spots something headed our way. A big
creature flies right up to Dart and stops. He
introduces himself as Coolon, and we discover that he
is the “wings” that Savan was talking about. He says
that he’ll be waiting for us whenever we “would like to
go back to the world.” This comes in handy.
Okay, first things first. Go to the right to the
next screen. Save if you want, then talk to the thing
behind the counter. Choose Law Factory, then you’ll
hop on the teleporter and go off to another platform to
the north. The yellow guy back there is your
item/weapon shop. Every time I’ve ever played this, I
didn’t have to repeal the law saying that humans aren’t
allowed to use it, but if he says you can’t, skip down
a ways to where I talk about the processes of Zenebatos
and use the code 339. If not, then stock up on items,
and DEFINITELY get the Dragoon armor things they have
here. That means that if Meru has hers on and she gets
hit with a water-based magic attack, it will do 0 to
her. Pretty awesome, right? Get what you need, then
head back.
Now you get a choice. In my opinion, this is an
optimum time to do some mega training and three side
quests because when you’re done with this city, there’s
a boss battle that’s a LOT harder than the Last Kraken
was. Also, if you train enough right now, you can save
up for three Legend Casques or Armors of Legend, which
are practically the best pieces of armor in this entire
game. But you don’t have to train if you don’t want
to; it will just make the rest of this game a LOT
harder. Right now, I’m going to do just that: advise
on training and tell of the side quests. If you don’t
want to train, skip down to where I return to
Zenebatos.
<==========================>
Training across Endiness
<==========================>
Here’s where the fun begins. If you follow what I
tell you, you’ll be doing three side quests in this
order: (1) the Dragoon Spirits in Vellweb, (2) the
Polter Armor in the Snowfield, and (3) Magician Faust
in Kashua Glacier. In order to complete the third, you
will need to have gotten all 50 Stardust and given them
to Martel; so before you train, if you haven’t done
that, do so.
As for the actual training, I suggest that your goal
is for all your characters to be Level 5 Dragoons, and
that all their Additions be Level 5, including their
last and final. The second goal you should have is to
get enough gold to buy at least three Legend Casques
from Lohan before you fight Faust, because he is one
tough cookie unless you have those. In fact, I was
unable to ever defeat him until I got them. If you
want to, although it’s not nearly as important, you
could also get some Legendary Armors, but you don’t
have to.
A really good place to train is in Vellweb. For
starters, its creatures aren’t so terribly hard that
your people will die or too easy. Second, it has a
Save Point, a healing spot (where Shirley left), and an
item seller, all within three screens. I would train
there if I were you.
This will take some time, a lot of it, but it’s
totally worth it in the end.
******************
Begin Side Quest 1
******************
Go back to where Coolon is waiting for you and hop
on him. Then you get to choose where you want to go,
which includes pretty much anywhere in Endiness. But
for this particular quest, go to Deningrad. Go in and
rest/stock up if you need to, then go through the
Kashua Glacier, then on to the Snowfield, then to
Vellweb.
<------------->
Vellweb
<------------->
Go up until you reach the area with the save point.
When you walk forward some, Shirley appears and speaks
to us. Once again she asks us if we’ll help save the
souls of the four Dragoons that died during the Dragon
Campaign. Then she disappears. Now go to the previous
screen, come right back, and continue. The healing
power of Shirley has stayed behind and heals you every
time you come through this area. Next go up and pick
your party: Albert and Miranda. If you have a Legend
Casque, equip it to Dart.
Go to the left up into the Dragoon towers. Enter
the tower to the left, and you’ll see a room that is
obviously occupied. Then a Jade Dragoon appears. Rose
recognizes him as Syuveil, a man just like Albert,
actually. He then notices we’re here and addresses
Rose. They discuss Mayfil and the Crystal Palace, and
that is why he can’t die. He doesn’t want to go “to a
world of nothing spread out on the tip of darkness.”
Then we attack him. Apparently, in order for him to go
to the right place, we have to kill his spirit.
___________________

HP: 10,000
Element: Wind
Recommended Party: Dart, Miranda, and Albert
Difficulty: Moderate to Moderately Difficult
Experience: 6,000
Gold: 300
Item: Jade Stone
Start out with a Special if you can. All these
Dragoon Spirit people have the same stats as the
respective characters of your party. So now you know
that this guy has good defense and attack, but low
magic defense and magic attack. So hit him with a
whole bunch of magic. Have Albert use his D-Attack or
Rose Storm, Dart use Final Burst/Flameshot, and
Miranda’s healing magic or perhaps Star Children.
Whenever Miranda’s in human form, have her either
healing or using magic attacks. Now would be a great
time to rip out the Psychedelic Bomb X. Since this guy
has a high attack, he’ll do serious damage to Miranda
with his D-Attack. Just try to keep her alive, because
her magic attacks will really pay off here. Heal
whenever necessary, pound on him as hard as you can,
and you’ll be fine.
___________________
After you’re done, Rose tries to reassure Syuveil
that it’s okay for him to die. Then he disappears.
Suddenly the room is barren, as if uninhabited for
10,000 years. Now return to the place with the save
point, heal, stock up on items from the brothers if
necessary, save, choose Meru and Albert for your party,
equip either Albert or Dart with the Legend Casque if
you have one, and go back up to the towers. This time,
including the one right above you when you start, the
next tower is the fourth to the left.
Here you find a room filled with water. A young
girl with blue hair appears. She was only 15 years old
when she fought in the Dragon Campaign. She’s half
mermaid. When she notices us, she too talks to Rose
and asks her if she came to see her. Now we have to
convince her to completely die as well.

Name: Damia
HP: 9500
Element: Water
Recommended Party: Dart, Meru, and Albert
Difficulty: Moderate
Experience: 6,000
Gold: 300
Item: Blue Sea Stone
Almost the same strategy as last time, but remember
that she’s fast, has low physical abilities, and high
magical ones. Have Albert use Rose Storm and D-Attack,
Dart use Flameshot/Final Burst, and Meru use D-Attack
unless you need a Rainbow Breath. In fact, it might be
better for her to just use that, because Damia will do
a lot of damage to both Dart and Albert. Heal whenever
necessary with mostly Meru, and use Albert’s attacks
whenever possible, because he really packs a punch.
This one isn’t too bad.
___________________
Now Rose is reassuring Damia that she’ll be okay
when she dies. Then Damia disappears, and her room
returns to what it should be. Now go back and do the
same things again, but this time pick Albert and
Miranda, with the Legend Casque on Albert. This time
the tower is either the sixth on the left or the third
on the right.
Upon entering, a very big guy appears. His name is
Belzac, and he is apparently talking to a group of
children who aren’t there. When he notices Rose, he
also thinks Dart is Zieg, but then decides not. He
says something about the “subjugation of Kadessa,” and
Rose infers that he does not know that he died. She
tells him that all of the Dragoons except her have
died. But instead of getting upset about himself
dying, he’s really upset about Shirley. He was
absolutely sure that he had saved her. (If you
remember the flashback Rose had in the cave with Dart
in the 2nd disc, a Giganto Dragoon was holding up
something over the head of a female archer Dragoon. As
the Virage in front of them gave a blast, she let the
arrow fly.) He gets so upset, in fact, that he fights
us.

HP: 16,000
Element: Earth
Recommended Party: Dart, Kongol, and Albert
Difficulty: Moderately Difficult
Experience: 6,000
Gold: 300
Item: Gold Stone
Once again, this guy is just like Kongol. High
defense and attack, very low magical attack and
defense, slow, and a LOT of HP. But if you have given
Albert the Legend Casque, you should be just fine.
What you want to do is hit him with magic. Have Dart
use Flameshot/Final Burst, Albert use Rose Storm and
Gaspless/D-Attack, and Miranda use magic whenever
possible. Once again you should use the Psychedelic
Bomb X, as it’s very powerful. This battle is a lot
longer than it is hard, so you should be able to beat
it.
___________________
When you’re done, Belzac finally remembers what
happened. Then he disappears. Three down, one to go!
Go back and prepare, choosing Haschel and Albert as
your party with Albert wearing the Legend Casque. The
second tower to the right is the one.
This is my least favorite person. Here appears the
electric Dragoon. This guy’s name is Kanzas, and he’s
a sadistic freak; he collects a doll for every person
he kills. He savors it. In order to get him to accept
his death, Rose tempts him to make her one of his
“dolls.” He goes for it.

This guy’s pretty tough. He’s like a really well
trained Haschel, quick and deadly. He has fairly good
magic stats and slightly below average physical stats.
Have Dart use pretty much whatever you want except
Explosion (too weak) and Red-Eyed Dragon (too much MP).
Have Haschel use his D-Attack, and Albert use Rose
Storm and D-Attack. Pretty much all of his attacks are
nasty, so just hang in there and heal whenever you need
to. Good luck.

After the battle, they chat a bit, and then he
disappears.
Congratulations! You’ve completed this side quest!

<------------->
Snowfield

Slide down the slide to get to the entrance that has
weird writings on it. Enter through the doorway into
the next area.
***********
Fort Magrad
***********
When you’re through, Meru jumps out and starts
playing in the snow (if you didn’t enter before).
Rose, of course, comes out and chastises her for
playing, but Dart convinces her to let Meru have some
fun for a while. Then Rose explains to Dart that this
was a human fort, rather than a Wingly one. But just
in case you came in here before the end of the third
disc, she says that she “heard about it.” Anyway, go
on, get the chest with a Midnight Terror in it, then go
up to the next screen.
Here Rose comes out again and reminisces about her
past. She remembers Diaz rallying on his troops. Then
Dart asks if anything’s wrong. She of course says no.
Now continue on. Get the chest with a Panic Bell.
Then the next chest has a Poison Needle in it. SAVE;
pick your party who I think should be Miranda and
Albert. You should equip your Darkness Stone you
should have gotten from Kamuy to Miranda because this
enemy uses a lot of magic attacks, mostly dark-type, so
that items will help quite a bit. Also, a Legend
Casque on Albert/Dart would help. And especially, put
a Talisman on someone. When you’re ready, head forward
into the area ahead.
Step forward, and Rose starts remembering again; but
this time, it’s Emperor Diaz talking to Rose and Zieg
about their wedding after the war is over. When she’s
finished, the sword that’s stuck in the wall suddenly
comes alive and attacks us!!

Smoke Bomb
This thing’s annoyingly tough. A good defensive
technique would be to equip Miranda with a Darkness
Stone. That’s a good idea. Then go for the armor
first. It throws magic attacks. Next work on the
sword, because when it dies, it uses a Can’t Combat on
one of your players. Then move to the helm because all
it does is block commands, which can be very annoying
sometimes.
Basically stay alive. Use the Special if you want,
but it’s not really important in this battle except for
the defense high. If you do, have Dart use Flameshot
or Final Burst on whichever piece you’re on. Have
Albert do a D-Attack or Rose Storm (you must know the
drill by now), and have Miranda throw out a Star
Children, her various healing spells, and that
Psychedelic Bomb X when you get the chance. Have fun
with this one.
___________________
Congratulations! You just received the Soul Eater,
Dart’s best weapon of the game. Then the sword falls
down. Now, grab the chest on the left (Armor of Yore)
and on the right (Panic Bell). Go back and save if you
want and equip your new stuff. However, the Soul Eater
may be the best weapon for Dart, but it has a drawback:
it saps health from him every turn as if he were
poisoned. To counteract this, just equip him with a
Therapy Ring. Then he can use it without its problems.
Congrats for the third time! You have just completed
the second side quest.

where you fought Lloyd for the second time.
<-------------->
Flanvel Tower
<-------------->
Go to the area under the place where you fought
Lloyd. Save if you like, then go down the teleporter
on the right. Find your way down until you reach an
area with three teleporters and a save point. Now
would be a good time to make sure your favorite peeps
have their Legend Casques on and are using their most
powerful Additions. In my opinion, if you have the
Legend Casques, use Kongol and Albert. If you don’t,
then your best bet would be two of the girls that have
high magic defense, such as Miranda and Meru. Anyway,
continue on.
This part would be very difficult to explain in a
walkthrough, so I think all I can say is that you’re
going to have to try every path. Your goal is to get
to the room at the bottom with three entrances. When
you find the first, the ground in front of you will
crumble away. This happens at the second, too. But at
the third, you run all the way into the circular area
in the middle, but then the path breaks away, and you
fall into the deep abyss. Hope you were ready to
fight.
Down here, you meet the real Faust. He decides that
he would like to be ruler of the world, but of course,
we must stop him. So then we attack.

Name: Magician Faust
HP: 27,000
Element: Non-Elemental
Recommended Party: w/ Legend Casques: Dart, Kongol,
and
Albert
w/o Legend Casques: Dart, Meru, and
Miranda
Difficulty: Extremely Difficult
Experience: 20,000
Gold: 10,000
Item: Phantom Shield
Let me tell you now, this guy is difficult. He’s
much more difficult than the final battle, and even—
prepare yourself—the Grand Jewel. However, if you have
three Legend Casques, it almost makes this battle easy.
If you don’t, I guarantee you are going to die (unless
you’re at a freakishly high level). If you do have
them, then you should survive. He still has such a
high magic attack that his more powerful attacks can do
some pretty heavy damage, but that’s why you have
healing items.
So in this battle, don’t use the Special. Whatever
you do, you do NOT want everyone as a Dragoon at the
same time. Faust is really fast, and therefore attacks
about seven times in a row; you’ll need to heal a lot,
and if everyone’s a Dragoon, you can’t do that. You
always really want Dart’s and Albert’s attacks, so heal
with Kongol if you can. If you need to heal, though,
do it instead of saving their attacks. Never use magic
attacks, because he’ll practically absorb them. Use
your D-Attack if you want, but Dart’s Blazing Dynamo,
Albert’s Gust of Wind Dance and Flower Storm, and
Kongol’s Bone Crush do more damage than their
respective D-Attacks. However, the extra defense is a
nice bonus. Do what you will in this area.
One absolutely amazing thing about Faust is that he
mainly attacks with the elements of the characters you
decided to use. For this reason, equipping those you
are using with their Dragoon Armor would be amazing,
reducing the damage you take dramatically.
Just attack, attack, attack. Don’t use magic
attacks. Heal when necessary. That’s all you can
really do in this battle. Good luck.
___________________
When you’re done, get the chests (Holy Ankh, Magical
Hat, and Dancer’s Ring), and then take the teleporter
above to get out of this accursed place.
And—voila!—you have completed all of the three side
quests in this part of the story.
****************
End Side Quest 3

Now that we’re done with that, continue your
training until everyone has all their Additions to
Level 5 and everyone’s a Level 5 Dragoon. You could
even save up for some Armors of Legend if you like.
Congrats! I’m so proud.
<=============================>
Back to the Main Storyline…
<=============================>
<------------------->
Law City Zenebatos
<------------------->
For starters, go through the teleporter in the first
screen and talk to the thing standing guard. It will
say that anything not a Wingly is not allowed to visit
the Signet Sphere—just where we’re trying to go. He
says that the article 703 is prohibiting this. So
then, what do we do? Well, go down and then right to
the next screen. Save if you like, then talk to this
guard. He’ll give you a choice, and choose the
Legislation Center. The teleporter thing will come,
and then carry you to another station. Continue to the
next screen.
Here is a series of strips where there are guards
just waiting to send you to jail. You need to avoid
them. Take the first teleporter. The first one is
simple. As long as you’re not on the main path, the
guards won’t try to catch you. So wait until the guard
is somewhat close to where you are, then go into the
hallway inside the wall. As soon as you’re out on the
other side, run to the next teleporter. The next one’s
a bit trickier. There’s a chest here containing a
Frozen Jet. To get the chest, wait until the guard is
on the other side of the platform and run to the chest.
Then to get to the teleporter, run through the hallway
and over to it and take it.
Same concept here, but the chest is a Burning Wave.
Continue to the next platform. Here the guard is
different. He stands there and waits for you. In this
case, just run out and right back in to where you are,
and the guard will run to the other end of the
platform. Now’s your chance. Run through the hallway
nearer to you, and he’ll run back to his original
position. Then take the teleporter. In this room,
you’ll see a bunch of guards talking. Get in the line
that is behind the laser lights and wait your turn.
When the guard before you is done with his thing, the
guards will call for the “next deliberation.” Now’s
your turn. Go into the circle and press X. They’ll
ask if it’s a submission of a bill, and you answer no.
Then when they ask if it’s a revision of the law,
answer yes. They now ask for a number. These are all
three digit numbers. Here’s a list of all the possible
numbers and what features they unlock.
~703—grant access to the Signet Sphere
~666—stops minor battles in Zenebatos
~659—remove guards from paths
~640—allows you to make laws without lining up
~410—allows transport to Death City Mayfil (only
allowed
after visit to Signet Sphere)
~339—allow humans to access item/weapon store
Now they say whatever law it is, then give you a Law
Production License and tell you to take it to the Law
Factory. And that’s just where we’ll go.
When you’re done, leave. Here you can either work
your way back through the guards, or just get caught.
This is easier at the moment. If you get caught (on
purpose, I hope), you’ll find yourself in a room with
absolutely no openings. Everyone gets upset and looks
for a way out. But then Dart remembers that someone
isn’t here. Just then Kongol bursts in through the
wall! We’re saved! Now leave.
The chest on the bottom has a Flash Hall in it, and
the chest on the top has 200G in it. The guard here
gives you the code to revise the article that gives the
guards the right to arrest you: 659. Take the
teleporter back to the original area. Here choose to
go to the Law Factory. Continue to the next screen.
Here the concept is the same as in the Legislation
Center. The first chest contains a Spectral Flash.
The second has a Night Raid. The third has a Rainbow
Dress. Now you should be in the actual Law Factory.
Here a guard is waiting for your Law Production
License. Give it to him, and he gives you a Law
Launching License and tells you to take it to the Law
Launcher. Now go back however you wish, and go to the
Law Launcher.
Same thing here. First chest is a Down Burst.
Second is a Spirit Cloak. Third is a Gravity Grabber.
Here get on the thing and give the guard your license.
Then you’ll see your law go out and you’ll return to
the platform.
Just so it’s right here, easy to see, here is the
order in which to go to the correct places to revise
laws:
1. Legislation Center
2. Law Factory
3. Law Launcher
Now, if you just revised the one about the Signet
Sphere, go back to the first screen with Coolon. Go
back up the teleporter and talk to the guard again.
Apparently, our law has not worked, and we still can’t
get in. But just then, there it comes, riding on the
horizon! Now we can go! Take the teleporter on the
left whenever you’re ready.
Here, when Dart mentions the Signet Sphere, the
guard goes ballistic and lists off the names of our
characters, totaling us to seven. It says something
about the “accused,” then shuts up, of course. Save,
pick your party, then proceed.
When we enter, Rose says we’re in the court of
Zenebatos. Then all the guards say guilty, and a
creature called Nomos descends. It says we’re all
accused and won’t let us go to the Signet Sphere. Then
we infer that he’s being controlled by Zieg. Then he
tells three people to come out and kill us all.

In this battle, you’ll want a healer. So don’t use
your Special. Kill Selebus first because she can heal
the others. Then attack Kubila because he has a Can’t
Combat attack. Then move on to Vector. You’ll want to
attack Vector with magic and the others with normal
attacks. Use Rose Storm or D-Attack with Albert, D-
Attack or Final Burst with Dart, and D-Attack for
Kongol. Just keep attacking and healing. If you still
have that Spectral Flash, you should use it in Dart’s
hands, along with the Psychedelic Bomb. You can do
this.
___________________
After that, Nomos tells his master to hurry, then
disappears. Now we run to the Signet Sphere. Continue
to the next screen, where it seems Zieg has already
been. This one’s destroyed, too. Then he appears and
shows us that he can fly! Then we start hearing a
heartbeat. When Zieg mentions Shana, Dart can’t take
it anymore and tries to attack him, but gets blown
back. After Zieg leaves, Rose says that he is not
Zieg. But if that’s not Zieg, then who is it exactly?
Now we need to head to the last city: Death City
Mayfil. Go back to the original screen.
If you’re observant, you should notice that there’s
a little guard here. Talk to him, and he says that
we’re not allowed to go to Mayfil in the teleporter.
Of course. Talk to him again, and he’ll give us the
code: 410. Now we need to go revise this law. Do
that, and then come back.
When you are ready (stocked up on items, weapons,
etc.), go into the room and choose to warp to Mayfil.

First you see Zieg flying around outside the city,
saying how this place has been leading souls to hell
for the past 11,000 years. Then he flies into the
city.
Next, you arrive. Go into the next screen. You’ll
see a very dark and sinister place. There’s some kind
of vacuum working in the background. Dart asks Rose
what that is, and she says it sucks souls into Mayfil.
Rose is very upset that this city, which determines the
destination of souls, survived the Dragon Campaign.
“But,” she says, “as long as the moon is in the sky, we
are fine.”
Take the teleporter to the right and continue into
the next screen. When you walk in here, a spirit of
some kind appears in the middle of the room. Albert’s
Dragoon Spirit starts to shine, and Rose says that this
is Feyrbrand’s spirit. Once again, we can break the
poor dragon’s attachment to this world if we kill it.
Now, you don’t have to attack this thing if you don’t
want to, but it’s some good experience, so I advise it.
If you don’t want to, DON”T TOUCH IT!!! If you’re
ready, just walk into it and the battle will start.

This one’s not too difficult. Feyrbrand wasn’t,
either. I don’t even recommend turning into Dragoons
at all. Just attack it with everything you’ve got. It
helps if you have the more powerful Additions. Heal
whenever necessary. You got this one.
___________________
Good job. Now continue on. Take the first
teleporter, then cross the bridge for a Poison Guard.
Go to the left for a Stun Guard. Go to the right for a
Panic Guard and a Protector, respectively. Continue to
the next room, where you’ll find Regole’s spirit. Same
as last time, attack it if you like, but you don’t have
to.

This one’s just a bit tougher than Feyrbrand. On
this one, I recommend using Dart’s Final Burst, and
maybe Albert’s Rose Storm. You might even want to use
Meru’s Rainbow Breath if you’re really having problems.
These spirits, of course, have all the attacks of their
living counterparts, and when he does the wave thing,
it does a number to Dart (unless, of course, he has a
Legend Casque). Attack as much as possible, and use
Meru to heal. You can do this, too, but it’s harder.
___________________
Once again, congratulations. Go to the next area.
Take the bridge for an Active Ring. Then take the
teleporter into the next room. Now this is the room
you should be a little wary about. You should be able
to conclude for yourself what dragon’s spirit this is:
the Divine Dragon. This one is VERY difficult. Only
attack him if you are SURE you’re prepared for this.
If not, you’re doomed. (At the other side of this room
is a save point, if you want to know.)

This is a doozy of a battle. This guy not only has
better attack/defense/magic attack/magic defense than
last time we fought him, he can even pull out his
Divine Dragon Cannon whenever the heck he wants!!! He
doesn’t have to charge it up! And we can’t get rid of
the Divine Ball or the Divine Cannon. If you don’t
have Legend Casques, you will most likely not win this
battle.
What you need to do is use Rose Storm, and lots of
D-Attacks or Final Bursts. If you have the last
Additions of these three, you might not even want to
use Dragoons. Your choice, though. Be prepared to
heal, cause he’ll attack hard and often. Just try your
hardest.
___________________
If you just beat that guy, kudos to you! And you
get the Destone Amulet in the chest. (I know! Cheap
gift for a battle like that, right?!) Continue to the
next screen. Save, then go on the bridge. This is a
very tedious room if you don’t know where to go, and
lucky for you, that’s just what I’m gonna tell you!
First, if you go left, you can get a Bravery Amulet.
Next, see that little ledge sticking out further than
the rest of the floor? Go up to it, but do not walk
off it, cause you’ll fall down. The key to this room
is to watch the little fireballs or whatever hit the
floor. If it turns red, that means it’s hitting
something and there’s solid ground there. If it
doesn’t and stays blue, there’s nothing there. So we
have to find the squares that we can walk on. Start at
that little ledge on the right square. Now, including
the first square:
~2 up
~2 right
~1 up
~1 right
~2 up
~2 right
Here’s a room with a Magic Ego Bell in it, and a
healing spot in the middle. Heal, then go out the left
door. From the exit to the room, this is the next
sequence.
~1 left
~2 up
~2 left
~1 up
~3 left
Now you should be in a different room. Continue on.
Next sequence:
~2 down
~1 left
~3 down
~2 left
~2 up
Take the teleporter to the next area. Here people
start to wonder where the Signet Sphere is, considering
how far we’ve come. Then Rose sees something in the
distance. There’s a little green light, which then
turns into a very familiar figure. It is the spirit of
our dear Lavitz, come back to visit us. Lavitz
mentions that there are a lot of people here who know
us, which only makes sense, considering how many people
we’ve killed. Suddenly, something starts to go wrong,
and Lavitz turns into this weird-looking purple version
of himself. Then he goes through the teleporter and
disappears. Rose says that one of the devils who run
this place is probably messing with Lavitz’s soul, but
of course, we won’t stand for that.
When you’re free to move, get the chest (Healing
Rain) and SAVE. Take the teleporter when you’re ready
for a boss battle. Here you’ll see the ghost form of
Lavitz, but he doesn’t seem to recognize us. Dart
tries to tell him that we’re the friends he’s had for a
long time, and he starts to have a severe headache.
Then he turns around, and you can see a weird object on
his back. Then he gets up and attacks us.

First, don’t attack Lavitz. Guard. When Dart tries
to talk to him, do so. Then Lavitz’s spirit will turn
around, exposing his back. Now’s your chance to
attack. Give it all you’ve got until he turns around
to face us again. Then guard until Dart talks to him
and he turns around again. Keep doing this until
electricity starts shooting out of the thing on his
back, he falls forward, and a demon shoots out of his
back.
Now the battle gets more difficult. He has some
pretty nasty attacks. When he turns into the little
thing on the ground, you need to defend the whole time
cause you can’t do him any damage. But just attack as
much as possible, heal whenever necessary, and use the
usual Dragoon attacks if you like. This one is
possible to overcome.
At the end of the battle, Dart does his finishing
move.
___________________
After that, Lavitz’s spirit becomes savage again and
attempts to kill Dart, but he refuses to fight.
Finally, Lavitz remembers, and stabs himself through
the chest to get rid of the thing. Then he’s back to
normal, and Dart, Lavitz, and Albert have a touching
reunion. He was really happy to meet them again.
Then, as he starts to crumble away, Lavitz gives us the
way to the Signet Sphere. Then he’s gone.
Now you have a choice. First of all, though, go
back and SAVE. Now, if you go up that transport light
thing that Lavitz made, you will NEVER come back to the
real world. When Rose says, “Once we go up this road
of souls, there will be no return,” she means it. Just
as long as you know that, and you’re ready for it, go
ahead and go through it.
You’ll float up to another room. Get the chest for
a Spectral Flash, and continue. And in this room is
the Signet Sphere, all safe and happy. But of course,
in this game, safety and happiness don’t last long, so
then Zieg appears to thwart our chances. Dart even
turns into a Dragoon and attacks Zieg, but gets blown
back, telling you just how powerful this guy really is.
Then the Signet is destroyed, and goes up into the sky.
Zieg disappears, and the world starts to shake. So now
we’re going to have to fight the god itself. They run
out the other end of the room, but it appears to be a
dead end. But of course, these things don’t happen in
this game, either, so then Coolon appears and bears us
away.
Now you get to see a really cool movie. The Moon is
falling to the earth. It shoots down something into
the earth, and reveals the Divine Tree. For a second,
all is calm, but then through the clouds breaks the
Moon. It falls on the Tree, nearly crushing it. And
there it lies, just waiting for us. You see us on
Coolon, and Meru points it out to us. (As if it’s not
that obvious.) The Divine Tree’s branches start to
grow, and then out of holes in the Moon, hundreds of
Virage appear. Great, there are guardians. They start
shooting at us, and one hits Coolon’s wing. Smoking,
he falls down to the ground.

Just our luck, he left us at the bottom of the Tree,
and we have to climb all the way up. Save if you like,
and go up to the next screen. Go up a little, and you
should see something sparkly on the left. Check it for
a Phoenix Plume. Continue. If you check the sparkly
thing here, Dart asks Rose what it is. She answers
that it’s probably a fruit from the Divine Tree. Go up
again. There’s another fruit here. Continue again,
and at the end of this path, you’ll come across what
Rose calls a “stream.” It’s acting like xylem and
sending vital force to the Moon. Then of course, this
stream will take us to the god. So we jump in.
They all get thrown out of the top, Kongol landing
with a big crash. The stream revived us thankfully.
Just before we head out, Dart sees a kind of
caterpillar (of immense size) crawling on a limb above.
Then we can move again. The sparkle here is the White
Silver Dragoon’s Armor. The water heals you. Now move
on.
Here there is another fruit to the side, but nothing
more. Go on. On this next screen, you’ll see a save
point. Now, save points have points to them, and you
should know what that is by now, so go over and SAVE.
Now go to the left, and you’ll find that lovely bug
that was from earlier. Lucky for us, it feels like
attacking.

First, you’re up against the Caterpillar form. This
one’s not too bad. Just use normal attacks on it, and
you’ll be fine. After a while, it will transform into
a Pupa. This one doesn’t attack, so you can heal right
now if you need it. Other than that, just attack like
normal. Then after you kill that one, it will turn
into an Imago. This is when you pull out the big guns.
Dragoons are handy, cause it likes to try to confuse,
dispirit, and poison your people. Attack it as much as
you can, and heal whenever necessary. Spare those

Here in the Moon, your characters will each go
through a boss battle of their own, which the makers
put in there for two reasons: (1) to give each
character an extra bonus 6000 exp., and (2) to develop
each character further before the game ends. So just
bear with it and beat them all. They’re really not all
that difficult.
You’ll appear inside the Moon, and you’ll be able to
hear the god’s heartbeat. Go into the next screen.
Then something starts rumbling, and something else
starts growing around the core of the Moon. When it
gets big enough, the screen goes white, and then you
appear to be in a forest… in a Moon. When you can
move, to the right is a Frozen Jet. Go to the right to
the next screen.
Here you’ll see a very pleasant grassland. Go up to
the next screen, where the place turns snowy. First,
Miranda’s about to get into a boss battle all by
herself, so prepare her in whatever way seems best.
Second, go on, and Miranda will come out and run away.
She runs into another screen, where there is a single
rose growing in the snow. Miranda then has a flashback
of her mother. Her mother left her when she was just a
child. Then the rose starts glowing, and we get into a
boss battle.

Well, there’s not much you can do in this battle but
attack. Just keep doing that until the rose opens, and
there’s Miranda’s mom’s face. They talk a bit, and
then you can attack again. Just keep this up until the
battle’s over. When her mom asks you to forgive her,
do so, and you’ve just won.
___________________
After the battle, Miranda talks to her nonexistent
mom for a moment, and then the rest of the party runs
in. Choose your party and leave. Follow the southern
path to the next area and get a chest with a Down
Burst. Go through the weird area, and you’ll be in a
nice little town much like Bale. Then we see a girl
down on the main floor who doesn’t fit the Serdian
model. Haschel seems to recognize her, but she walks
out the door.
Now stay at the inn if you like and stock up on
items. Talk to the woman playing the piano, and you’ll
hear that one tune that Shana sang to the girl and that
Haschel recognized. Here Dart and Haschel both
recognize the music, and that’s all. Just a little
hint there in case you haven’t caught the drift yet.
Go to the right and up the stairs where you can buy new
weapons and armor. If you talk to the guy there,
you’ll discover that this town is Bale twenty years
ago. Because some girl is missing, we can’t go out
into the town. Therefore, head out through the door
that the girl went out before. When you go in, you’ll
see the girl walk away, and the group talks about the
area. Go into the house on the left for 200G. Prepare
Haschel for his own little boss battle, and continue
down into the next area.
Get the chest on the right with a Spectral Flash,
and take the bottom-most path to get to the next
screen. Go a little ways here, and you’ll stop, and
Haschel sees that girl again. Dart tries to talk to
her, but she runs away. When Dart tries to go after
her, Haschel stops him and says that he must go to her.
He says that it’s Claire, and that she’s inviting him
to go. Then he hops through the portal.
Haschel finds Claire huddled in the corner of a
room. When he tries to go near, she tells him to go
away and that she hates him. They have a little
fight/reunion thing, and then she attacks him.

Miranda’s. Just attack, use a couple items, and heal.
No biggie. When you get a choice, choose, “Mind’s eye,
awaken!” After that, she does this one attack that
takes all your HP except one, but Haschel manages to
beat her back. Then she turns to normal, thanks him,
and disappears.
___________________
After the battle, Dart, Rose, and Miranda enter.
Miranda asks him if he saw the past as well, and Rose
deduces that both the past and future are both combined
in this Moon. After some more talk, Haschel reminds us
of our task. Now we leave. Choose your party, and
continue down the path to the next area. Jump over the
gap and continue to follow the path for a Flash Hall.
Now go all the way back to the town.
First, save. Second, now that the girl has been
“found,” we can enter the town. Go out where the guard
used to be stationed. Go down to the stairs on the
left, and press X. You’ll jump through a portal. Go
through the bare Moon hallway, and you’ll be in an area
far above the earth. Prepare Rose and Dart and Kongol
for boss battles. Go up, and on your way through this
screen, a shadow crosses over, and Rose comes running
out. She says that that was Michael, her Vassal Dragon
of the Dragon Campaign. They show a clip of him
flying, and then firing at us. Rose tells us to run,
and five people fall into one hole, and two in the
other.
Now you see Kongol, Albert, Meru, Haschel, and
Miranda together talking about Dart and Rose. They’re
sure they are fine, given that they’ve lived through
worse together. Then Miranda formulates that what is
in your heart materializes in the Moon. After a short
pause, Meru points out that this area is a lot like the
Home of Gigantos. But Kongol says that it was the Holy
Land. Then you hear noises. Somebody’s trying to
annihilate all the Gigantos around here. You hear some
battling noises, and they say that Doel’s coming. Then
three bandits get run down by three men on horses, one
of them Emperor Doel. Someone mentions His Majesty
Carlo (Albert’s dad), and Doel says that he’s dead,
meaning that he’s already killed him in this timeline.
Then one of the soldiers says that there’s something
in the cave, and out pops a mini-Giganto. It just so
happens to be Kongol. Doel offers to take Kongol with
him. The camera swings back to us, and you see Kongol
shaking. After some talk, he says he has something to
do. Now you get to control Albert, a rare thing. Go
up the stairs.
Go a little further, and you’ll hear noises in the
distance. Kongol explains that in order to have peace,
you need power. So then, Kongol is going to get power
so that he can help Dart maintain peace. Then he
leaves.
Here you see an area just like where we fought
Gehrich. But instead of a puny human, there’s a huge
Giganto in fancy armor standing there. Then Kongol
attacks his brother, Indora.

___________________
After the battle, Kongol watches his brother
disappear. Then Albert and company run in. Kongol has
overcome. Go down the stairs here and open the lever
to the cell to get the Golden Dragon’s Armor. Now
leave the area and hop into a portal on the left side
of the screen. You’ll appear where Haschel left to get
Claire. Now go back to town.
Upon entering, Meru and Haschel come out. The three
talk about Dart and Rose. They decide to wait for the
return of the two.
Now we get to go to Dart and Rose. They weren’t in
such a pleasant place. Now lead Rose around the bend.
Little dragons will appear, and Rose will call them
Pseudo Dragons. Continue to the next screen. Get the
chest for a Night Raid, and continue forward. Don’t
take the right path yet, but rather continue forward
again. Go straight into the next screen.
Here you’ll see a statue of a dragon. Go on, and
Rose remembers that she came here with Zieg the first
time she ever met Michael. After her flashback, the
statue starts trembling.

This one’s a bit trickier than the last ones. You
can’t hurt Michael at all, until Rose tells you how.
Staying alive until she does can be a challenge. After
a certain number of turns, she’ll try to talk to him.
It doesn’t work, however. After another few turns,
they start arguing about how to kill this thing. Then
after even more turns, Rose finally says that there is
one and only one blind spot: she won’t tell us yet.
Wait a few more turns, and when you get a choice,
choose to tell Dart the blind spot. Finally, she tells
you how to kill this thing: “After he shoots the black
laser, his defense falls a second, showing his heart.
That’s his only weak spot.” So now, wait until after
he throws you into the air and shoots you with a black
laser, and attack his heart. Do this as many times as
you need, until he’s finished.
___________________
Then you chat a bit, and then you can move. Go back
one screen and take the immediate right path for a
Burning Wave. Then jump down and head up and through
the cave on the right. Take the southern path, and
you’ll find Meru jumping up and down at finding you
again. They explain what’s happened so far, and we
decide to go see Doel. Choose your party, save, and
then leave the building out the front entrance.
Prepare Albert for a boss battle, and go talk to the
guards by the gate. Albert will come out and ask to
see his uncle. They say that he’s waited for and then
let him go through.
Now we’re in the throne room of the Black Castle.
Albert continues on to talk to Doel. Apparently Doel
knows the reason Albert’s here: to ask if he really
killed Albert’s father, and why. He says to save
Serdio from an incompetent leader who had incredibly
high taxes and no order in his country. So now he
wants to be defeated in order to give Albert the rest
of the information.

Piece of cake. Kill each of the swords first. That
should be one turn each by now. Then attack Doel
himself. After this, he’ll just use some weird thunder
magic attack. Depending on your level, it might do
some moderate damage, but probably not. Just keep
attacking with your best Addition, and you’ll have him.
___________________
Well, that was easy, wasn’t it? Dart and company
come in and talk to Albert. Then choose your party and
leave. Go back in the inn and save, prepare your
party, gather items, etc. Go back out and take the
vortex on the left. Go directly up and follow the path
to the next area. Prepare Meru for a boss battle, and
take either path (the left is shorter) to get to the
area with a bridge. The camera will move up to show
you a Wingly-looking palace. And in fact, it is the
Wingly palace. Just as we try to go across the bridge,
it disappears, and Meru being able to fly catches
herself. Then she disappears.
Next you’ll se a weird looking angel, and Meru drops
out of the sky. She turns around, steps back a few
steps, and says that this is the Archangel. They chat
a bit, and then the Archangel attacks.

Same strategy as the last five of these, except the
Archangel has some pretty nasty magic attacks. Heal
whenever you need to and attack your heart out. You
should be able to do this.
___________________
After you defeat that battle, Dart and company run
in (no telling how they got in or anything) and ask if
Meru’s okay. She says she’s fine, and then you can
move. Choose you party. Now you have a choice. That
shaft of light leads up close to the Virage Embryo.
You have a couple boss battles up there, not to mention
the much more difficult creatures. Now’s the time to
train if you want. I would recommend training in
either the dragon place or just up that light shaft.
In the dragon place, you might be able to fight the
triceratops, which give you 2000 experience; or up the
light shaft, you get around 1000 experience per battle.
Your choice. But definitely stock up on items, save,
all that stuff, before you continue with the game.
When you first enter the light shaft and come up at
the top, you’ll see a very strange place. Dart asks
what the heck is going on, and I don’t blame him.
According to Rose, cause she’s totally been here
before, we’ve finally reached the core of the Moon.
Continue to the next screen. Get the chest on the
right with a Gravity Grabber, and follow the path to
the next screen.
Here you’ll see a picture of a burning village on
the wall. Save, then continue. When you go to the
other side, something different flashes on the screen,
and you hear, “My world. My future. My heart…” Dart
asks who’s talking, and the three sentences are
repeated. Rose says it’s speaking into the minds of
our peeps, and then the voice says, “…Dart.” Dart
thinks Shana said that. Continue to the next screen,
and you’ll see a Super Virage awaiting our visit. Then
we charge.

Difficulty: Moderately Difficult
Experience: 15,000

Item: None
Not too terribly difficult. Attack the head for a
quick kill. This guy’s worst attack is the laser beam,
and if you have Legend Casques, that shouldn’t do too
much damage. Turn into Dragoons if you like and use
whatever attacks you want. Heal whenever necessary.
You should do fine. When you destroy the head, it
explodes and does pretty bad damage, but if you can get
your people to guard right before you kill it (except,
of course, the person attacking), you’ll survive.
___________________
After you kill it, Dart gets this thing in his head
that we just killed Shana, and he starts freaking out.
Rose says that it wasn’t, but she can’t support her
idea. Albert has to practically slap Dart to bring him
back to his senses. Now you can move again. Go back
and SAVE. Your final battle is coming up soon (it’s
not the next one, though). If you don’t have full
items, go back to the town and get those, too.
Continue forward when you’re ready.
When you come upon the screen past the Virage,
you’ll find another save point and a chest with a
Detonate Arrow for Miranda. You now should be in
possession of every best weapon except that of Rose,
which we’ll get here in a minute. It will be helpful
for this next battle if you equip Dart with his Dragoon
mail. Continue to the next screen when you’re ready.
Dart sees Shana and runs to her, but Zieg gets in his
way and knocks the Red-Eyed Dragoon Spirit out of
Dart’s breastplate. Then it appears that the spirit
stills recognizes Zieg as its owner, and then he turns
into a Dragoon!

Name: Zieg Feld
HP: 12,000
Element: Fire

Well, we’re battling Zieg and we have no Special.
Have Dart attack all-out. Do the same with Albert
unless you’d like to use a Rose Storm. Have Meru use
her more powerful water-based attacks as much as
possible, because she isn’t very good on the physical
side. If you have the Psychedelic Bomb X, have her
throw it at some point. Other than that, remember that
his stats are like Dart’s: average at pretty much
everything. He’ll use lots of the magic Dragoon
attacks, with a little tweaking of his own. Have Meru
heal whenever necessary, and she can use her Rainbow
Breath for that, too. Give it your best shot; you got
this in the bag. When you beat him, Dart will do his
finishing move, but Zieg hits him away.
___________________
***SPOILER ALERT***
After the battle, Shana starts to glow. Something
is about to happen. Then Zieg says that the time has
come, and his eyes start to glow green. He says, “I no
longer need this form,” and something comes out of him.
It appears to be a spirit, but then a body-type thing
forms. Then Rose says that this is Melbu Frahma.
Melbu introduces himself as the “supreme leader of
the Winglies.” He explains what happened that day when
Zieg defeated him. “It’s true that the sword of that
man penetrated me. But, what vanished is only my
flesh. I cast a petrifying spell on the man, at the
same time, I transmigrated my soul to the [Dragoon]
spirit. The sublime soul is immortal. At that moment,
I reentered the light. The first light after 11,000
years. When the Black Monster came to Neet, that
foolish soul tried to release the power of the Dragoon,
without knowing that I was waiting for that moment!! I
was released from the spirit and revived! In order to
obtain an eternal body that is proper for an immortal
soul!! And now, I am becoming a god!!”
Then, as tentacles grab Shana, Melbu pulls her out
and goes into the hole himself. Then he emerges in a
new form. Shana is on the ground, and Dart and Meru
are caring for her. Rose infers that Melbu Frahma
merged with the Virage Embryo. So, as Dart says, he
will be the god instead of Shana.
***END SPOILERS***
Then we hear a voice behind us. Lloyd is here! He
says, “I cannot die with the wrong god still around!
There is no space for you in my utopia!!” Then he
charges.
___________________
======================
Boss Battle... Sort of
======================
Here, you see Lloyd fight the battle on his own. He
charges Melbu Frahma, avoiding his attacks with his
Wingly speed, then using his Wingly magic to
counterattack. But then Melbu hits him, and he falls
to the ground. Dart runs to him.
___________________
The Divine Dragon Dragoon Spirit then leaves Lloyd’s
dying body. Lloyd hands it over along with the Dragon
Buster to Dart. Dart receives the Dragoon Spirit in
place of his old one, and Rose receives the Dragon
Buster, her ultimate weapon. Now you are ready to face
your final battle in this game. Go and prepare.
If you plan on using Rose, have her equip the Dragon
Buster. Whoever you use, make sure they have your
strongest armor (i.e. Legend Casque and Armor of
Legend), strongest Additions, and all that other stuff.
If you have trained your character so that they all
have their final Additions, choose those; and you
probably won’t have too much trouble here. If you want
to, go and build SP while you can; you might want to
use a Special. Think over everything you can and
prepare in whatever way you think best. If necessary,
go back to “Bale” and stock up on items.
SAVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Whenever you’re ready,
continue forward to your last battle.
Choose, “Let’s go. Our last battle.”
Melbu Frahma: I have acquired all. The immortality….
And the ultimate power…. I am the god… who purifies
the world! Under the fate determined by Soa. Death to
those who rebel against fate. Death to all life…! And
may your death bless the new world to which I shall
descend!!
Dart: We won’t let you! We are the Dragoons!! We are
ready to fight against fate!! Let’s go!!

Final Boss Battle

Name: Melbu Frahma
HP: 42,000
Element: Non-Elemental
Recommended Party: Dart, Kongol, and Albert
Difficulty: Difficult
Experience: 0
Gold: 0
Item: None
Well, here we are. Your last battle. This battle
is a lot longer than it is hard, especially if you
invested in some Legend Casques. He has four stages
that you have to get him in, each with different
attacks. Therefore, your strategies will vary with
each one. I’ll give you my ideas with each.
I’m fairly sure that this battle shows the creation
and destruction of the world. As you continue
throughout the battle, first there’s nothingness, then
light, then water, then stars, and so on, until you
come to a beautiful world covered with life. Then it
becomes a barren wasteland where nothing lives. I
think this symbolizes what Soa intended for the world.
In the first stage, you don’t want to use the
Special, because he does the thing that Danton used at
the tournament in Lohan: he holds up his tentacles to
attack anyone who attacks him, in which case, you want
to guard. Other than that snag, just simply attack the
heck out of him. Go all-out with your Additions.
Albert’s should be the best attack you have, and next
would be Dart, then Kongol. Therefore, use Kongol to
heal. However, if you aren’t using these two extras,
heal with the one who has the lowest attack. This
applies to the whole battle. But for the first stage,
you should be alright. But watch out for the part when
he summons three Virage to knock the living daylights
out of you. That hurts. Save all attack items you
might have for later, too. This round is just your raw
physical power.
In the second stage, called the first generation, he
takes on a new ugly form. This time, use the Special.
Depending on your Additions, it may actually lower your
attack; however, your defense boosts up. Plus you can
use some of your good magic attacks. Try out Dart’s
new magic if you want (I suggest the Divine Dragon
Cannon, although I think he can also take that and
shoot it at you, but it still does him a good amount of
damage), use Albert’s Rose Storm or D-Attack, Kongol’s
D-Attack, Meru’s magic attacks and Rainbow Breath for
health, Rose’s Dark Dragon or Astral Drain, Miranda’s
Dragon would be great for healing and damaging, and
Haschel’s stronger magic attacks or D-Attack. No
matter what, just keep hitting the freak with all your
firepower. Heal whenever necessary, using magic from
Rose, Meru, or Miranda if you can’t access your items.
At one point, Melbu will probably suck up one of your
characters into a little chamber somewhere inside him.
Don’t worry about it; keep attacking. In this stage,
he doesn’t have many good attacks except for the D. D.
Cannon and the thing where he spits out the character
he sucked up. But don’t worry, because you can heal.
Try to save attack items. This round is solely your
Dragoon power unleashed at its peak.
The next round is called the fourth generation (I
guess we skipped a couple of them). Depending on level
and other things, you may still have a Dragoon or two
left, in which case, use them until they’re spent.
After all your Dragoons are used up, do pretty much
whatever seems best to you. Attack, use attack items,
Dragoons, whatever. Just fight wisely. This round
starts out being nighttime with a moon in the sky;
therefore, his attacks circulate around that. He can
throw out these little balls called Bomb Stars that
will explode in the air and shower you with little
rocks, like a falling star. Then he does this thing
where he moves it to daytime and he can do other stuff.
Such as throw a mini sun down on you. That stings a
bit. Just keep fighting, heal when necessary, and
attack the heck out of him. Use that Psychedelic Bomb
you should have been saving; it will do a lot of
damage. Just make sure the one with the highest magic
attack throws it so that you can get the most out of
it. From now on, there’s no real strategy, except stay
alive.
The next stage is the sixth generation, the time
when the god takes over. You’ll get a long
introduction to this one, explaining how the humans
were enslaved, life on earth was hard, yet there was
hope. Then the god came, and everything died. Now
you’re standing on what looks like countless skeletons.
This is the most difficult stage of the battle. You
have Melbu Frahma looking like a freaky overgrown
flying mushroom. This strategy is pretty much the same
as the last time. Just attack him as best you can.
Heal whenever you need to. Melbu should be in red now,
so you’re almost done. This time he has plenty of
nasty attacks. He has this thing where he attacks a
hologram type thing of a character, doing damage to the
real one. It hurts. Then there’s another one where he
conjures up this electric thing that hits someone and
really hurts. He has plenty of magic attacks in this
round. What’s really awful is that if you stay
Dragoons for too long, he’ll use the Dragon Block Staff
technique. So I wouldn’t recommend a Special right
now. The weirdest thing, though, is that he makes
these creatures that look really weird and hurt when
they hit. But sometimes, they can take the place of
one of your characters. Then you can use it to either
attack or use a special attack, which acts as a Healing
Rain, which can come in handy. Just keep it up; you
can do this.
When you beat him, Dart will turn into a Dragoon of
his own accord and use the Divine Dragon Cannon against
him. Then you’re done.
___________________
The last movie is something I will not put here.
Just know that it is the best one. I’m just saying,
though, Dart looks really freaky as the Divine Dragoon.
Then the thing they show after the movie is good, too.
It shows what the people did with their lives after
their journey. Just remember one thing when you watch
it: Dart promised Lavitz he’d have a drink with him
after the war was over, but they never got the chance.
Congratulations!!!!!!
You have successfully beaten The Legend of Dragoon!!!!
Since we’re done with the game, here are a few things I
thought might help with whatever you think it will help
with.

*v1.7 Note:*
Recommended Parties are relative. In all reality, the
party you normally use is the best party for the
battle. Using anyone in a boss battle that you do not
use regularly is a risk, one that you may take if you
wish. I tried to choose characters that fit the battle
itself the best, given the enemy’s strengths and
weaknesses. Feel free to use different characters if
you wish.
Also please note that the battle difficulties are also
relative, except for the ones close to the beginning,
namely in Chapter 1, and perhaps some of Chapter 2.
Any battle can be made easy if you train enough.
Especially at the end, I put more than once that a
battle was easier than you may find it, because of the
training I put into my game, as well as equipment. The
game gets infinitely easier with Legend Casques on each
character, as well as attaining the final Additions for
each character.

This is too easy. This guy’s accompanied by two
Sandora soldiers. They’re just like the ones before,
but one of them runs away. The Commander is easy, too.
Just pound him with your Additions, and if you really
want, you can try out your Burn Out. What you have to
do with these is press X as fast as you can. The most
I’ve gotten is 236%, but that was definitely the best.
I imagine that you don’t have it down pat yet, so don’t

This really isn’t that hard of a battle. At the
first round, you can’t attack Fruegel. If you trained
in the Forest, Dart’s Double Slash should kill one of
the guards, and Lavitz and Shana together can kill the
other. Then he brings out the Senior Wardens. They’re
tougher, but still easy. At this point have Dart and
Lavitz attack Fruegel, and have Shana attack the
wardens. When one gets in red, have Lavitz guard
because when they die, they throw a Gushing Magma at
you, and Lavitz has the worst Magic Defense. Have
Shana healing throughout the battle because you need
Lavitz’s and Dart’s attacks.

I hope you armed Shana with that Poison Guard. In

and Shana for healing. After a while, he’ll slither up
into a hole so that Dart and Lavitz can’t get to him.
Now have Shana attack while Dart and Lavitz guard.
This way, if he attacks with his poison spit, it won’t
affect anybody. When he comes back down, keep
attacking him until he dies. Dart will use a finishing
move where he jumps up and slashes the head.

This guy is pretty much a piece of cake. Just hit
him with your strongest Additions. Although, he does
have one magic attack that can do serious damage to
Lavitz, so watch your health. Also, after a while,
he’ll “pull his gloves off” and do this magic thing
where he now becomes three. Your job is to figure out
which one is the real him. The first three times, he
won’t be in the same position, so that should help a
little. For instance, if he is on the left the first
time, on the right the second, then he must be in the
middle this time. It’s not that hard.

Kongol is one tough dude, and I really hope you’ve

on your Addition, and it hurts. Also, he has a great
attack and defense, but his magic defense is really
low, and this is your key if you’re not any good at
Additions yet. Pound him with your magic attacks.
Once I threw one at him that did over 80 damage.
After a while, he’ll put away his huge axe and
attack you with his bare hands. The strength of a
Giganto is not to be underestimated, let me tell you.
These attacks will hurt even more, and he has an all
attack. Once again, watch your health, as this may be
the time to use your Healing Breeze.

This Virage dies when you take out its head. If you
want, you can get rid of the other two, but only the
arm will do you any good. That way it will stop
smacking you. If you choose to kill the body, it
really won’t do anything. This Virage has two really
annoying attacks: a beam of light that really hurts,
and a weird thing that makes your people afraid. The
only theory here is to use your big Dragoon attacks.
This would be a great time to try out your magic
attacks if you haven’t yet. Since this thing is the
one thing in this place that isn’t fire-aligned, you
can use Dart’s Flameshot. After you’ve killed it, Dart
will do his finishing move of jumping and knocking it
back into the lava.

In this battle, you really can’t do anything except
keep hitting him with your Additions and turning into a
Dragoon whenever you can. Use your D-Attack, and
Astral Drain does a lot in this battle. Flameshot is
almost useless, though. He has a couple of nasty
attacks: he does this thing where he dives into your
people and comes out of the lava—being a magical
attack, it does a lot of damage to Lavitz—, and when he
brings out a lot of little fire balls and throws them
at you. These hurt, but other than that, he doesn’t
have that many bad attacks. Just beat him and then
he’ll vanish.

Okay, first of all, Feyrbrand is most definitely not
what he’s been cracked up to be. Greham is the toughy
here. I always kill Feyrbrand first because he’s just
annoying. He attacks with all the poison/stun/fear
effects behind them. He has a worse defense than
Greham, too. Rose’s Astral Drain has a great effect on
him, too. If you have trained a lot, Rose might be a
level 2 Dragoon. If she is, you can use Death
Dimension. After you kill him, he’ll vanish, and now
move on to Greham.
If you have any earth-based attack items, use them
on this guy. He has a better defense and attack than
Feyrbrand, so you won’t do quite as much damage. All
you can do is keep pounding him and healing when you
get low on HP. When you finally kill him, he’ll say,
“Ugh, I got a deep gash.” He’ll fall to the ground,
and you’ll be done!

The main thing on this guy is all his traps. He
throws out Bursting Balls that roll into your people
and do a lot of damage, and he throws up a net so you
can’t hit him. Don’t turn into a Dragoon yet. Save
that for when he throws out his Bursting Balls. Use
Rose’s Death Dimension or Dart’s Explosion to get rid
of them. You might need to use a Sun Rhapsody or two,
so watch your MP. After a while, he’ll use a recovery
item, healing him 360 HP. But he’s not that hard.
Just use your strongest Additions, and you’ll slowly
wear him down.

First, use the Sachet on him, and he’ll go to sleep.
There’s no telling how long this will last, so you had
better get to pounding him. He has a great defense but
not as much of a magic defense, so if you have MP, have
Rose use her Astral Drain. It’s pretty effective. Use
your special if you have enough SP for everybody, and
use those Magic Attacks! Except for Lavitz. Have him
use his D-Attack. He also has an attack where he
confuses you. This is just absolutely terrible, so I
hope you have a LOT of Mind Purifiers. All you can do
is attack him as much as possible.

In this battle, use your Special right away. I
would kill Rodriguez, Guftas, and then Fruegel, but no
matter what, the battle’s over when you kill Fruegel.
First, if Lavitz is a level 2 Dragoon, use Blossom
Storm so that he doesn’t do as much damage to your
party. Other than that, use your D-Attacks until the
other two are gone, then unleash all your magic on
Fruegel. He’s really not that hard until he uses a
Power Up. But still, he’s a goner. After you kill
him, Lavitz this time will come up and spear him right
through.

Once again, magic attacks are very effective here;
however, he will eventually throw up a Magic Shield so
you can’t use these. Don’t have everybody use their
Dragoon thing; you’ll need that for the next battle.
Albert’s Rose Storm is very useful here, as always. If
you use your magic, though, remember later to go back
down to get healed. Other than that, just keep hitting
him with attacks, and eventually, you’ll have him.

Just hit this guy with Additions. He’ll die soon

Item: None
Okay, this guy is a toughy. If Dart is a level 3
Dragoon (I applaud you if he is), his Final Burst is
amazing. Most likely he isn’t, though. Doel’s worst
attack is this great big one where he has a cloud made
of lightning in the sky that he sends down on you and
REALLY hurts, especially Albert. This would be a great
time to use your Dragoon Special. Use your strongest
magic, and have Albert use Rose Storm on his last turn
as a Dragoon. Use a Sun Rhapsody whenever necessary,
and use Rose Storm whenever Albert can turn into a
Dragoon again as long as the three turns are up. About
when he has half-health, he’ll put up a shield that is
impenetrable. Just guard until it’s gone, because the
longer you attack him, the longer the shield stays up.
All I can say is watch your health and do your best.
Use an Angel’s Prayer immediately (or almost, at least)
on anybody who is downed. However, if they keep dying
as soon as you revive them, give up on it until the end
of the battle. Good luck.
When this guy is dead, Dart will slash him, and
you’ll have yet another scene.

Item: Moon Serenade
First, kill his left arm that does the Can’t Combat
thing. If you equipped someone with that Talisman, it
will save them from the Can’t Combat attack and likely
save you the battle. After that, go for his head. Use
Albert’s Rose Storm and Rose’s Astral Drain. When his
arm comes back, get rid of it again before he kills
anybody. Use Dart as a healer so that everybody else
can use their Dragoon power. After you kill it, Dart
will jump up and slash it. Then you get a scene.

Kill Mappi first. You won’t be able to completely
kill him before he disappears, but try your hardest.
Use Haschel’s LV 2 Magic attack if he’s a level 2
Dragoon, but if not, use his D-Attack. Use Albert’s
Rose Storm because these two have some very powerful
attacks together. Also, watch out for Mappi’s “Can’t
Combat” attack, and if you want, equip somebody with
that Talisman you should have gotten in the Valley.
After Mappi disappears, attack Gehrich. After a while,
Mappi will come back, and you can kill him.
Once Mappi’s gone, attack Greham. If Albert has a
Twister Glaive, he’ll do even more damage to this guy.
Once again, Haschel does plenty of damage with his
magic and D-attacks. Also, now that Mappi isn’t here
to help him, Gehrich’s attacks are much easier to deal
with. You should have him in no time. After he’s
dead, Haschel will do the finishing move instead of
Dart.

This party I choose because of their high attacks.
They also have a low Magic Defense, which is important
in this battle, so change them if you will. Good
replacements would be Rose or Meru.
Dart’s Final burst works like magic in this battle,
so use it whenever possible. If you chose my party,
use Albert’s Rose Storm a lot, too. Use the Special
whenever you have enough SP, as this will take a huge
chunk of her HP. Use any Fire-based attacks you might
have, and watch your health. Those magic attacks can
really pack a punch. However, she should start out
nice with some physical attacks. Don’t be thinking
that she’ll use them the whole battle, though. Another
thing: she likes to counter-attack.
After you’re done using all your Dragoon stuff, use
all your most powerful Additions. Don’t worry; after a
while you’ll get her. In this battle, whenever you
kill her, she just disappears.

Kill Regole first. If you can, start out with your
special. Dart’s Final Burst should do around 1000
damage to him. Use Albert’s Rose Storm because Regole
has a very powerful magic attack with a tidal wave, and
it KILLS. Use Haschel’s D-Attack or strongest Magic.
Also, since this is a very magic-based battle, you
might want to switch out somebody for Rose, Shana, or
Meru; but I would go with Rose or Meru, because there
are still enough physical attacks to go around. After
he’s dead, move on to Lenus.
She’s not nearly as hard as before. Her magic
attacks aren’t nearly as strong, and that’s what mainly
got me. Since you’ve probably used all your SP on
Regole, just pound on her with Additions, healing when
necessary. You’ll have her soon enough. Once you kill
her, Dart will do his finishing move, and you’ll have a

There’s not much of a strategy on this guy. Just
hit him with your best attacks. Use your Special if
you have it, use the best Additions, and heal whenever
necessary. Kamuy has a few magic attacks, but not
many; so if you really insist on using someone else,
it’s not that important.
You’ll have this guy pretty soon. He’ll just vanish

Okay, so ultimately this guy dies after ten rounds.
But the main reason we’re fighting this battle is to
prepare for the upcoming battle. First, use your
Special. Just use D-Attacks unless you really feel
like using magic, but on Albert’s LAST turn as a
Dragoon, use Rose Storm. When this guy dies, he tries
to take you with you. He does this amazing magic
attack that attacks all your players, and it HURTS.
Mainly because none of these people have a very high
magic defense. After your Special goes away, attack,
but guard after it says, “Lives remaining—3.” You
should survive this, but above ANYTHING else, DO NOT
LET ANY ONE PERSON’S SP HIT 200!!!!!!!! This is vital
for the next battle.

Difficulty: Extremely Difficult

Item: Spectral Flash
Okay, so this is by far the worst battle in the
entire game—even worse than the final one. Wait, I
think there’s one that’s more difficult, but it’s not
even necessary to the plotline. Anyway, I do have a
method that will help, though. Keep in mind that this
thing has the Dragon Block Staff, which sends out magic
attacks and absorbs dragons’ AND Dragoons’ power. So
let’s say you do 200 damage normally. You’ll do about
50 as a Dragoon with a complete perfect D-Attack.
Also, pretty much any move from him will kill you. So
we can’t let this happen. So here’s what you do:
You should have three people with no more than 199
SP. So turn into a Dragoon. You only have one turn,
so do your most powerful attack. After you’re done,
the person will become human again, and the thing will
not have used the D.B.S. So now this person has zero
SP. Do this with each person until nobody has any SP.
Next round, attack. Keep doing this until somebody has
somewhere from 100-199 SP. Repeat the Dragoon
transformation. This way, you can use your Dragoon
stuff, but it will actually do something, and you won’t
die by a flick of the finger.
So if somebody gets 200 SP, what do you do? Just
don’t use them for the Dragoon purpose anymore. If you
do, he will use the DBS, you’ll have to wait forever
for it to wear off, and by then, everybody will be over
200 SP anyway, so it’s useless to use Dragoons.
Okay, so now the actual battle. This big hunk of
rock is the most annoying thing in the world. He has
the most powerful magic attacks and likes to attack
more than he’s allowed. I really hope you have a LOT
of items. After a while, he’ll start lowering your
level. This means that everything—attack, defense, M-
attack, and M-defense—will drop. You’ll be more
vulnerable, won’t do as much damage, etc. This is why
I use Albert and Kongol. After a while, even a level 5
Gust of Wind Dance will only do about 120 damage when
it originally did 350. But if you have someone like
Meru or Miranda with their feeble attacks, you’ll be
getting somewhere near 50.
Another reason for using the above is their amazing
amounts of HP. Kongol should have somewhere near 2000
HP by now, and Meru around 700. So let’s say that a
particularly powerful magic attack does 800 to Kongol,
but only 450 to Meru. Meru seems better in this
position, but another hit like that would take her out,
whereas Kongol could withstand it again. This is my
reasoning. I compared two battles that I’ve had here.
In one, I used Albert and Kongol, started with 9
Healing Fogs, 8 Healing Breezes, 2 Healing Rains, and 5
Angel’s Prayers, and ended with 3 Healing Fogs, 4
Healing Breezes, 1 Healing Rain, and 4 Angel’s Prayers.
In the other, I used Meru and Haschel, started with the
same items, and ended with 2 Healing Fogs, 0 Healing
Breezes, 0 Healing Rains, and 3 Angel’s Prayers. So
you see, HP and attack make a BIG difference.
Back to the battle. This thing has some great magic
attacks. The worst is Spectral Flash, where bowls of
light come down, circle around, and meet on your party.
It kills. It will do 700-800 damage to Albert and
Kongol, and 600-700 to Dart. Heal whenever someone
gets into yellow, because they will probably die next
round. Use Dragoon attacks whenever possible. The
best attacks to choose for each person are:
Dart: Final Burst/Flameshot
Rose: Astral Drain
Haschel: D-Attack or Thunder God/Thunder Kid
Albert: Rose Storm or Gaspless
Meru: Rainbow Breath or Diamond Dust
Kongol: D-Attack
Miranda: Gates of Heaven/Moon Light
Make sure you have some Sun Rhapsodies or Moon
Serenades. Keep trying your hardest to complete your
Additions and D-Attacks. Keep your people alive.
After he gets into red for a while, he revives 1350 HP.
All you have to do is continue what you’ve been doing
and attack. Don’t at all feel bad if you die in this
battle. Even if it’s five times in a row. This is a
killer battle. But you can do it. When it dies, he
vanishes.

Okay, so first round, Dart uses the Dragon Block
Staff, which absorbs the power of dragons AND Dragoons
for the whole battle, so don’t even think about
Dragoons in this battle. Unless, of course, you use
the method used against the Grand Jewel. But do
remember that no attack will do anything as a Dragoon.
So only do that if you intend to use something like
Moon Light or Gates of Heaven that isn’t offensive.
Other than that, this guy has three parts: the
Divine Dragon himself, the Divine Ball, and the Divine
Cannon. Killing the Divine Dragon himself ends the
battle, the Divine Ball is an annoying magical attack
that hits all your party and really hurts, and the
Divine Cannon is a VERY powerful magic attack that hits
a single member and half-hits his neighbors. Because
the Divine Cannon takes a while to work, you’ll be
wanting to first take out the Divine Ball, then the
Cannon, then the Dragon. If you do, it will make this
battle much easier.
Watch out for his magic attacks, though. They hurt.
He throws stuff like Burning Wave, Down Burst, and
others. Just keep healing; you should be fine.

Item: Brass Knuckle
This guy has a boatload of hit points. If you have
the SP, use your Special. Use Dart’s Final Burst; it
should do about 1500 to him at this point. Make Meru
do Rainbow breath and her D-Attack because her water
moves don’t do much to this guy. If you have Kongol,
use his D-Attack, and with Albert, use his Rose Storm
and D-Attack.
The Windigo has some pretty nasty attacks, like when
he conjures up an arm and sticks it through the ground,
but you have some magic- and physical-resistant people
here, so you should be good. Other than Dragoons, just
attack him with your best Additions. He may have a lot
of HP, but it will slowly dwindle. If necessary, use
some Sun Rhapsodies or Moon Serenades so that you can
use Dart’s Final Burst; it helps with the HP problem.
Another thing: don’t attack him if he picks up you
people and puts them in his mouth; that hurts the
person, too.

Now you’re probably wondering why I would bring
Albert and Kongol into such a magical battle. Well,
this is where the Talisman comes in. Dart is probably
on DLV 5 by now, or at least 4, and he should have that
Talisman on. What you do is transform Dart into a
Dragoon and no one else. Now remember that Lloyd has
the Dragon Buster that can pierce right through Dragoon
armor, which in battle means that you are immediately
dead: a “Can’t Combat.” Well, a Talisman blocks
against that. So the entire time Dart is a Dragoon,
Lloyd is preoccupied with trying to kill Dart but
can’t, and Kongol and Albert are hacking away unscathed
at Lloyd with their amazingly powerful attacks.
Just remember to heal regularly because if he does
hit you with a particularly powerful attack, most
likely, the next one, you’re going to be dead. If you
have to pick between healing somebody and attacking
with Albert, make sure Albert always attacks if he has
an opportunity, because Albert has the best attack out
of your party.
After your Dragoon thing with Dart ends, make sure
you keep everyone alive. His attacks will get a LOT
stronger because he won’t be so caught up in trying to
kill Dart. You can do it. It’s a tough battle, but
beatable. At the end, Dart will do his signature move,
but miss.
And just really quickly, I’d like to insert that
this strategy (with the whole Talisman thing) did not
come from my own brain, but rather from that of Link
San. It really is a good one, as well.

Start out with a Special if you can. All these

that this guy has good defense and attack, but low
magic defense and attack. So hit him with a whole
bunch of magic (except for Kongol, that is). Have
Albert use Gaspless (or D-Attack since this guy is
Wind-based) or Rose Storm, Dart use Final
Burst/Flameshot, and Kongol’s D-Attack. If you don’t
have that Legend Casque on Kongol, he’ll be taking some
pretty serious damage throughout this battle, but his
attack is very helpful, so try to keep him alive. Heal
whenever necessary, pound on him as hard as you can,
and you’ll be fine.

Almost the same strategy as last time, but remember
that she’s fast, has low physical abilities, and high

Dart use
Flameshot/Final Burst, and Meru use D-Attack unless you
need a Rainbow Breath. In fact, it might be better for
her to just use that, because Damia will do a lot of
damage to both Dart and Albert. Heal whenever
necessary with mostly Meru, and use Albert’s attacks
whenever possible, because he really packs a punch.

Once again, this guy is just like Kongol. High
defense and attack, very low magical attack and
defense, slow, and a LOT of HP. But if you have given
Albert the Legend Casque, you should be just fine.
What you want to do is hit him with magic. Have Dart
use Flameshot/Final Burst, Albert use Rose Storm and
Gaspless/D-Attack, and Kongol use D-Attack (since he
has a low magic attack and the opponent’s earth
anyway). If you have it, have Dart throw out the
Psychedelic Bomb X, but only if it’s the “X” version.
This battle is a lot longer than it is hard, so you
should be able to beat it.

Haschel use his D-Attack, and Albert use Rose Storm and

This thing’s annoyingly tough. A good defensive
technique would be to equip Miranda with a Darkness
Stone. That’s a good idea. Then go for the armor
first. . It throws magic attacks. Next work on the
sword, because when it dies, it uses a Can’t Combat on
one of your players. Then move to the helm because all
it does is block commands, which can be very annoying
sometimes.
Basically stay alive. Use the Special if you want,
but it’s not really important in this battle except for
the defense high. If you do, have Dart use Flameshot
or Final Burst on whichever piece you’re on. Have
Albert do a D-Attack or Rose Storm (you must know the
drill by now), and have Miranda throw out a Star
Children, her various healing spells, and that
Psychedelic Bomb X when you get the chance. Have fun

Difficulty: Extremely Difficult

Experience: 20,000
Gold: 10,000
Item: Phantom Shield
Let me tell you now, this guy is difficult. He’s
much more difficult than the final battle, and even—
prepare yourself—the Grand Jewel. If you don’t have
Legend Casques, I guarantee you are going to die. If
you do have them, then you should survive. He still
has such a high magic attack that his more powerful
attacks can do some pretty heavy damage, but that’s why
you have healing items.
So in this battle, don’t use the Special. Whatever
you do, you do NOT want everyone as a Dragoon at the
same time. Faust is really fast, and therefore attacks
about seven times in a row; you’ll need to heal a lot,
and if everyone’s a Dragoon, you can’t do that. You
always really want Dart’s and Albert’s attacks, so heal
with Kongol if you can. If you need to heal, though,
do it instead of saving their attacks. Never use magic
attacks, because he’ll practically absorb them. Use
your D-Attack if you want, but Dart’s Blazing Dynamo,
Albert’s Gust of Wind Dance and Flower Storm, and
Kongol’s Bone Crush do more damage than their
respective D-Attacks. However, the extra defense is a
nice bonus. Do what you will in this area.
Just attack, attack, attack. Don’t use magic. Heal
when necessary. That’s all you can really do in this
battle. Good luck.

attack Vector with magic and the other with normal
attacks. Use Rose Storm or D-Attack with Albert, D-
Attack or Final Burst with Dart, and D-Attack for
Kongol. Just keep attacking and healing. If you still
have that Spectral Flash, you should use it in Dart’s
hands, along with the Psychedelic Bomb. You can do
this.

This one’s just a bit tougher than Feyrbrand. On
this one, I recommend using Dart’s Final Burst, and
maybe Albert’s Rose Storm. You might even want to use
Meru’s Rainbow Breath if you’re really having problems.
These spirits, of course, have all the attacks of their
living counterparts, and when he does the wave thing,
it does a number to Dart (unless, of course, he has a
Legend Casque). Attack as much as possible, and use
Meru to heal. You can do this, too, but it’s harder.

the Divine Ball or the Divine Cannon. If you don’t
have Legend Casques (or perhaps Armors of Legend), you
will most likely not win this battle.
What you need to do is use Rose Storm, and lots of
D-Attacks or Final Bursts. If you have the last
Additions of these three, you might not even want to
use Dragoons. Your choice, though. Be prepared to
heal, cause he’ll attack hard and often. Just try your

First, don’t attack Lavitz. Guard. When Dart tries

attack. Give it all you’ve got until he turns around
to face us again. Then guard until Dart talks to him
and he turns around again. Keep doing this until
electricity starts shooting out of the thing on his
back, he falls forward, and a demon shoots out of his
back.
Now the battle gets more difficult. He has some
pretty nasty attacks. When he turns into the little
thing on the ground, you need to defend the whole time
cause you can’t do him any damage. But just attack as
much as possible, heal whenever necessary, and use the
usual Dragoon attacks if you like. This one is
possible to overcome.

First, you’re up against the Caterpillar form. This

you’ll be fine. After a while, it will transform into
a Pupa. This one doesn’t attack, so you can heal right
now if you need it. Other than that, just attack like
normal. Then after you kill that one, it will turn
into an Imago. This is when you pull out the big guns.
Dragoons are handy, cause it like to try to confuse,
dispirit, and poison your people. Attack it as much as
you can, and heal whenever necessary. Spare those

This one’s a bit trickier than the last ones. You
can’t hurt Michael at all, until Rose tells you how.
After a certain number of turns, she’ll try to talk to
him. It doesn’t work, however. After another few
turns, they start arguing about how to kill this thing.
Then after even more turns, Rose finally says that
there is one and only one blind spot: she won’t tell us
yet. Wait a few more turns, and when you get a choice,
choose to tell Dart the blind spot. Finally, she tells
you how to kill this thing: “After he shoots the black
laser, his defense falls a second, showing his heart.
That’s his only weak spot.” So now, wait until after
he throws you into the air and shoots you with a black
laser, and attack his heart. Do this as many times as

Not too terribly difficult. Attack the head for a
quick kill. This guy’s worst attack is the laser beam,
and if you have Legend Casques, that shouldn’t do too
much damage. Turn into Dragoons if you like and use
whatever attacks you want. Heal whenever necessary.
You should do fine. When you destroy the head, it
explodes and does pretty bad damage, but if you can get

Have Dart attack all-out. Do the same with Albert
unless you’d like to use a Rose Storm. Have Meru use
her more powerful water-based attacks as much as
possible, because she isn’t very good on the physical
side. If you have the Psychedelic Bomb X, have her
throw it at some point. Other than that, remember that
his stats are like Dart’s: average at pretty much
everything. He’ll use lots of the magic Dragoon
attacks, with a little tweaking of his own. Have Meru
heal whenever necessary, and she can use her Rainbow
Breath for that, too. Give it your best shot; you got
this in the bag. When you beat him, Dart will do his

Difficult

Well, here we are. Your last battle. This battle
is a lot longer than it is hard, especially if you
invested in some Legend Casques. He has five stages
that you have to get him in, each with different
attacks. Therefore, your strategies will vary with
each one. I’ll give you my ideas with each.
I’m fairly sure that this battle shows the creation
and destruction of the world. As you continue
throughout the battle, first there’s nothingness, then
light, then water, then stars, and so on, until you
come to a beautiful world covered with life. Then it
becomes a barren wasteland where nothing lives. I
believe this symbolizes what the god intended for the
world.
In the first stage, you don’t want to use the
Special, because he does the thing that Danton used at
the tournament in Lohan: he holds up his tentacles to
attack anyone who attacks him, in which case, you want
to guard. Other than that snag, just simply attack the
heck out of him. Go all-out with your Additions.
Albert’s should be the best attack you have, and next
would be Dart, then Kongol. Therefore, use Kongol to
heal. However, if you aren’t using these two extras,
heal with the one who has the lowest attack. This
applies to the whole battle. But for the first stage,
you should be alright. But watch out for the part when
he summons three Virage to knock the living daylights
out of you. That hurts. Save all items you might have
for later, too. This round is just your raw physical
power.
In the second stage, called the first generation, he
takes on a new ugly form. This time, use the Special.
Depending on your Additions, it may actually lower your
attack; however, your defense boosts up. Plus you can
use some of your good magic attacks. Try out Dart’s
new magic if you want (I suggest the Divine Dragon
Cannon, although I think he can also take that and
shoot it at you, but it still does him a good amount of
damage), use Albert’s Rose Storm or D-Attack, Kongol’s
D-Attack, Meru’s magic attacks and Rainbow Breath for
health, Rose’s Dragon or Astral Drain, Miranda’s Dragon
would be great for healing and damaging, and Haschel’s
stronger magic attacks or D-Attack. No matter what,
just keep hitting the freak with all your firepower.
Heal whenever necessary, using magic from Rose, Meru,
or Miranda if you can’t access your items. At one
point, Melbu will probably suck up one of your
characters into his little chamber somewhere inside
him. Don’t worry about it; keep attacking. In this
stage, he doesn’t have many good attacks except for the
D. D. Cannon and the thing where he spits out the
character he sucked up. But don’t worry, because you
can heal. Try to save attack items. This round is
solely your Dragoon power unleashed at its peak.
The next round is called the fourth generation (I
guess we skipped a couple of them). Depending on level
and other things, you may still have a Dragoon or two
left, in which case, use them until they’re spent.
After all your Dragoons are used up, do pretty much
whatever seems best to you. Attack, use attack items,
Dragoons, whatever. Just fight wisely. This round
starts out being nighttime with a moon in the sky;
therefore, his attacks circulate around that. He can
throw out these little balls called Bomb Stars that
will explode in the air and shower you with little
rocks, like a falling star. Then he does this thing
where he moves it to daytime and he can do other stuff.
Such as throw the sun down on you. That stings a bit.
Just keep fighting, heal when necessary, and attack the
heck out of him. Use that Psychedelic Bomb you should
have been saving; it will do a lot of damage. Just
make sure the one with the highest magic attack throws
it so that you can get the most out of it. From now
on, there’s no real strategy, except stay alive.
The next stage is the sixth generation, the time
when the god takes over. You’ll get a long
introduction to this one, explaining how the humans
were enslaved, life on earth was hard, yet there was
hope. Then the god came, and everything died. Now
you’re standing on what looks like countless skeletons.
This is the most difficult stage of the battle. You
have Melbu Frahma looking like a freaky overgrown
flying mushroom. This strategy is pretty much the same
as the last time. Just attack him as best you can.
Heal whenever you need to. Melbu should be in red now,
so you’re almost done. This time he has plenty of
nasty attacks. He has this thing where he attacks a
hologram type thing of a character, doing damage to the
real one. It hurts. Then there’s another one where he
conjures up this electric thing that hits someone and
really hurts. He has plenty of magic attacks in this
round. What’s really awful is that if you stay
Dragoons for too long, he’ll use the Dragon Block Staff
technique. So I wouldn’t recommend a Special right
now. The weirdest thing, though, is that he makes
these creatures that look really weird and hurt when
they hit. But sometimes, they can take the place of
one of your characters. Then you can use it to either
attack or use a special attack, which acts as a Healing
Rain, which can come in handy. Just keep it up; you
can do this.
When you beat him, Dart will turn into a Dragoon of
his own accord and use the Divine Dragon Cannon against
him. Then you’re done.

Kaffi once.
Disc three: In the entrance to Deningrad helping a
man
after the Divine Dragon attacked
forcefully.
Disc four: In Rouge to the north of where you meet
with the mayor.
Whenever you run into her, give her all the Stardust
you have. After a certain amount, she gives you
“something rare” for your troubles.
After 10: Physical Ring
After 20: Amulet
After 30: Wargod’s Sash
After 40: Rainbow Earring
After 50: Vanishing Stone
Now as I have already discussed, if you collect all
fifty and receive the Vanishing Stone, you can fight
the Magician Faust, one of the most difficult bosses in
the game. But it’s worth it for the great experience
and gold you get from it. The rest of the information
can be found above in the Walkthrough itself.
-------------------------------------------------
XI. Side Quest List
-------------------------------------------------
There are four side quests, not counting Stardust
itself, in the game. This is a list of them.
******************
Begin Side Quest 1
******************
In the Evergreen Forest, go to the top of the mound
in the second screen (when heading from Furni) and Teo
will run away with Kamuy. Head to the left screen.
Go to the north and you’ll see Kamuy. Move forward
a little bit, and you are given a choice. If you have
decided that you are not ready to fight him, retreat.
If not, advance. Dart will move forward, and Teo will
come out and tell you to leave. Shana comes out and
tells Teo about Fa’s situation. Dart helps out, but
just then the mean people arrive. Bulgus says that
he’s going to kill Kamuy, and Harris tries to get Teo
to leave Kamuy. As Bulgus advances, Kamuy jumps on him
and throws him into the water nearby. Dart advances.
___________________
===========
Boss Battle
===========
Name: Kamuy
HP: 3500
Element: Non-Elemental
Recommended Party: Dart, Albert, and Kongol
Difficulty: Moderate
Experience: 8000
Gold: 0
Item: Darkness Stone
There’s not much of a strategy on this guy. Just
hit him with your best attacks. Use your Special if
you have it, use the best Additions, and heal whenever
necessary. Kamuy has a few magic attacks, but not
many; so if you really insist on using someone else,
it’s not that important.
You’ll have this guy pretty soon. He’ll just vanish
when you’re done.
___________________
Now you see Teo crying over the dying Kamuy, and
Shana (or Miranda, depending on when you fight this
battle) comes up and saves Kamuy with her White Silver
Dragoon Spirit. Kamuy shrinks down to the size of a
wolf pup, and Teo is ecstatic. Dart tells Teo to go
tell Fa that he is okay. The Knight Harris agrees that
Kamuy can go back as long as he doesn’t cause any
trouble. Teo, Kamuy, and Knight Harris all leave, and
you’re free to move again. Head down out of this
screen.
Whenever you like, go back to Furni and enter the
house to the right of the inn. Knight Harris is here,
and he’ll give you your five times larger prize.
****************
End Side Quest 1
****************
******************
Begin Side Quest 2
******************
Go back to where Coolon is waiting for you and hop
on him. Then you get to choose where you want to go,
which includes pretty much anywhere in Endiness. But
for this particular quest, go to Deningrad. Go in and
rest/stock up if you need to, then go through the
Kashua Glacier, then on to the Snowfield, then to
Vellweb.
<------------->
Vellweb
<------------->
Go up until you reach the area with the save point.
When you walk forward some, Shirley appears and speaks
to us. Once again she asks us if we’ll help save the
souls of the four Dragoons that died during the Dragon
Campaign. Then she disappears. Now go to the previous
screen, come right back, and continue. The healing
power of Shirley has stayed behind and heals you every
time you come through this area. Next go up and pick
your party: Albert and Kongol. If you have a Legend
Casque, equip it to Kongol; he’ll need it in this
battle.
Go to the left up into the Dragoon towers. Enter
the tower to the left, and you’ll see a room that is
obviously occupied. Then a Jade Dragoon appears. Rose
recognizes him as Syuveil, a man just like Albert,
actually. He then notices we’re here and addresses
Rose. They discuss Mayfil and the Crystal Palace, and
that is why he can’t die. He doesn’t want to go “to a
world of nothing spread out on the tip of darkness.”
Then we attack him. Apparently, in order for him to go
to the right place, we have to kill his spirit.
___________________
===========
Boss Battle
===========
Name: Syuveil
HP: 10,000
Element: Wind
Recommended Party: Dart, Kongol, and Albert
Difficulty: Moderate to Moderately Difficult
Experience: 6,000
Gold: 300
Item: Jade Stone
Start out with a Special if you can. All these
Dragoon Spirit people have the same stats as the
respective characters of your party. So now you know
that this guy has good defense and attack, but low
magic defense and attack. So hit him with a whole
bunch of magic (except for Kongol, that is). Have
Albert use Gaspless (or D-Attack since this guy is
Wind-based) or Rose Storm, Dart use Final
Burst/Flameshot, and Kongol’s D-Attack. If you don’t
have that Legend Casque on Kongol, he’ll be taking some
pretty serious damage throughout this battle, but his
attack is very helpful, so try to keep him alive. Heal
whenever necessary, pound on him as hard as you can,
and you’ll be fine.
___________________
After you’re done, Rose tries to reassure Syuveil
that it’s okay for him to die. Then he disappears.
Suddenly the room is barren, as if uninhabited for
10,000 years. Now return to the place with the save
point, heal, stock up on items from the brothers if
necessary, save, choose Meru and Albert for your party,
equip either Albert or Dart with the Legend Casque if
you have one, and go back up to the towers. This time,
including the one right above you when you start, the
next tower is the fourth to the left.
Here you find a room filled with water. A young
girl with blue hair appears. She was only 15 years old
when she fought in the Dragon Campaign. She’s half
mermaid. When she notices us, she too talks to Rose
and asks her if she came to see her. Now we have to
convince her to completely die as well.
___________________
===========
Boss Battle
===========
Name: Damia
HP: 9500
Element: Water
Recommended Party: Dart, Meru, and Albert
Difficulty: Moderate to Moderately Difficult
Experience: 6,000
Gold: 300
Item: Blue Sea Stone
Almost the same strategy as last time, but remember
that she’s fast, has low physical abilities, and high
magical ones. Have Albert use Rose Storm and D-Attack,
Dart use Flameshot/Final Burst, and Meru use D-Attack
unless you need a Rainbow Breath. In fact, it might be
better for her to just use that, because Damia will do
a lot of damage to both Dart and Albert. Heal whenever
necessary with mostly Meru, and use Albert’s attacks
whenever possible, because he really packs a punch.
This one isn’t too bad.
___________________
Now Rose is reassuring Damia that she’ll be okay
when she dies. Then Damia disappears, and her room
returns to what it should be. Now go back and do the
same things again, but this time pick Albert and
Kongol, with the Legend Casque on Albert. This time
the tower is either the sixth on the left or the third
on the right.
Upon entering, a very big guy appears. His name is
Belzac, and he is apparently talking to a group of
children who aren’t there. When he notices Rose, he
also thinks Dart is Zieg, but then decides not. He
says something about the “subjugation of Kadessa,” and
Rose infers that he does not know that he died. She
tells him that all of the Dragoons except her have
died. But instead of getting upset about himself
dying, he’s really upset about Shirley. He was
absolutely sure that he had saved her. (If you
remember the flashback Rose had in the cave with Dart
in the 2nd disc, a Giganto Dragoon was holding up
something over the head of a female archer Dragoon. As
the Virage in front of them gave a blast, she let the
arrow fly.) He gets so upset, in fact, that he fights
us.
___________________
===========
Boss Battle
===========
Name: Belzac
HP: 16,000
Element: Earth
Recommended Party: Dart, Kongol, and Albert
Difficulty: Moderate to Moderately Difficult
Experience: 6,000
Gold: 300
Item: Gold Stone
Once again, this guy is just like Kongol. High
defense and attack, very low magical attack and
defense, slow, and a LOT of HP. But if you have given
Albert the Legend Casque, you should be just fine.
What you want to do is hit him with magic. Have Dart
use Flameshot/Final Burst, Albert use Rose Storm and
Gaspless/D-Attack, and Kongol use D-Attack (since he
has a low magic attack and the opponent’s earth
anyway). If you have it, have Dart throw out the
Psychedelic Bomb X, but only if it’s the “X” version.
This battle is a lot longer than it is hard, so you
should be able to beat it.
___________________
When you’re done, Belzac finally remembers what
happened. Then he disappears. Three down, one to go!
Go back and prepare, choosing Haschel and Albert as
your party with Albert wearing the Legend Casque. The
second tower to the right is the one.
This is my least favorite person. Here appears the
electric Dragoon. This guy’s name is Kanzas, and he’s
a sadistic freak; he collects a doll for every person
he kills. He savors it. In order to get him to accept
his death, Rose tempts him to make her one of his
“dolls.” He goes for it.
___________________
===========
Boss Battle
===========
Name: Kanzas
HP: 12,000
Element: Thunder
Recommended Party: Dart, Haschel, and Albert
Difficulty: Difficult
Experience: 6,000
Gold: 200
Item: Violet Stone
This guy’s pretty tough. He has fairly good magic
stats and slightly below average physical stats. Have
Dart use pretty much whatever you want except Explosion
(too weak) and Red-Eyed Dragon (too much MP). Have
Haschel use his D-Attack, and Albert use Rose Storm and
D-Attack. Pretty much all of his attacks are nasty, so
just hang in there and heal whenever you need to. Good
luck.
___________________
After the battle, they chat a bit, and then he
disappears.

End Side Quest 2

Begin Side Quest 3
******************
Go to the Snowfield.
<------------->
Snowfield
<------------->
Slide down the slide in the second screen to get to
the entrance that has weird writings on it. Enter
through the doorway into the next area.
<------------->
Fort Magrad
<------------->
When you’re through, Meru jumps out and starts
playing in the snow (depending on whether or not you’ve
been here before. Rose, of course, comes out and
chastises her for playing, but Dart convinces her to
let Meru have some fun for a while. Then Rose explains
to Dart that this was a human fort, rather than a
Wingly one. But just in case you came in here before
the end of the third disc, she says that she “heard
about it.” Anyway, go on, get the chest with a
Midnight Terror in it, then go up to the next screen.
Here Rose comes out again and reminisces about her
past. She remembers Diaz rallying on his troops. Then
Dart asks if anything’s wrong. She of course says no.
Now continue on. Get the chest with a Panic Bell.
Then the next chest has a Poison Needle in it. SAVE,
pick your party who I think should be Rose and Kongol,
but ONLY if Kongol has a Legend Casque and Rose has a
Silver Stone on. This enemy uses a lot of magic
attacks, Dark and Light mostly, so these items will
help quite a bit. When you’re ready, head forward into
the area ahead.
Step forward, and Rose starts remembering again; but
this time, it’s Emperor Diaz talking to Rose and Zieg
about their wedding after the war is over. When she’s
finished, the sword that’s stuck in the wall suddenly
comes alive and attacks us!!
___________________
===========
Boss Battle
===========
Name: Polter Armor
HP: 3800
Element: Dark
Name: Polter Sword
HP: 2800
Element: Dark
Name: Polter Helm
HP: 2400
Element: Dark
Recommended Party: Dart, Miranda, and Albert
Difficulty: Moderately Difficult
Experience: 6,000
Gold: 200
Item: Soul Eater
Smoke Bomb
This thing’s annoyingly tough. First go for the
armor. It throws magic attacks. Next work on the
sword, because when it dies, it uses a Can’t Combat on
one of your players. Then move to the helm because all
it does is block commands, which can be very annoying
sometimes.
Basically stay alive. Use the Special if you want,
but it’s not really important in this battle except for
the defense high. If you do, have Dart use Flameshot
or Final Burst on whichever piece you’re on. Have
Albert do a D-Attack or Rose Storm (you must know the
drill by now), and have Miranda throw out a Star
Children, her various healing spells, and that
Psychedelic Bomb X when you get the chance. Have fun
with this one.
___________________
Congratulations! You just received the Soul Eater,
Dart’s best weapon of the game. Then the sword falls
down. Now, grab the chest on the left (Armor of Yore)
and on the right (Panic Bell). Go back and save if you
want and equip your new stuff. Now, the Soul Eater may
be the best weapon for Dart, but it has a drawback: it
saps health from him every turn as if he were poisoned.
To counteract this, just equip him with a Therapy Ring.
Then he can use it without its problems.

******************
Begin Side Quest 4
******************
Go to the Kashua Glacier.
<--------------->
Kashua Glacier
<--------------->
Here you need to make your way to Flanvel Tower,
where you fought Lloyd for the second time.
<-------------->
Flanvel Tower
<-------------->
Go to the area under the place where you fought
Lloyd. Save if you like, then go down the teleporter
on the right. Find your way down until you reach an
area with three teleporters and a save point. Now
would be a good time to make sure your favorite peeps
have their Legend Casques on and are using their most
powerful Additions. In my opinion, if you have the
Legend Casques, use Kongol and Albert. If you don’t,
then your best bet would be two of the girls that have
high magic defense, such as Miranda and Meru. Anyway,
continue on.
This part would be very difficult to explain in a
walkthrough, so I think all I can say is that you’re
going to have to try every path. Your goal is to get
to the room at the bottom with three entrances. When
you find the first, the ground in front of you will
crumble away. This happens at the second, too. But at
the third, you run all the way into the circular area
in the middle, but then the path breaks away, and you
fall into the deep abyss. Hope you were ready to
fight.
Down here, you meet the real Faust. He decides that
he would like to be ruler of the world, but of course,
we must stop him. So then we attack.
___________________
===========
Boss Battle
===========
Name: Magician Faust
HP: 27,000
Element: Non-Elemental
Recommended Party: w/ Legend Casques: Dart, Kongol,
and
Albert
w/o Legend Casques: Dart, Meru, and
Miranda
Difficulty: Extremely Difficult
Experience: 20,000
Gold: 10,000
Item: Phantom Shield
Let me tell you now, this guy is difficult. He’s
much more difficult than the final battle, and even—
prepare yourself—the Grand Jewel. If you don’t have
Legend Casques, I guarantee you are going to die
(unless you’re at a freakishly high level). If you do
have them, then you should survive. He still has such
a high magic attack that his more powerful attacks can
do some pretty heavy damage, but that’s why you have
healing items.
So in this battle, don’t use the Special. Whatever
you do, you do NOT want everyone as a Dragoon at the
same time. Faust is really fast, and therefore attacks
about seven times in a row; you’ll need to heal a lot,
and if everyone’s a Dragoon, you can’t do that. You
always really want Dart’s and Albert’s attacks, so heal
with Kongol if you can. If you need to heal, though,
do it instead of saving their attacks. Never use magic
attacks, because he’ll practically absorb them. Use
your D-Attack if you want, but Dart’s Blazing Dynamo,
Albert’s Gust of Wind Dance and Flower Storm, and
Kongol’s Bone Crush do more damage than their
respective D-Attacks. However, the extra defense is a
nice bonus. Do what you will in this area.
One absolutely amazing thing about Faust is that he
mainly attacks with the element of one of your
characters. For this reason, equipping those you are
using with their Dragoon Armor would be amazing,
reducing the damage you take dramatically. Just
attack, attack, attack. Don’t use magic. Heal when
necessary. That’s all you can really do in this
battle. Good luck.
___________________
When you’re done, get the chests (Holy Ankh, Magical
Hat, and Dancer’s Ring), and then take the teleporter
above to get out of this accursed place.

XII. Theme Song Lyrics
-------------------------------------------------
These are the lyrics for the theme song to The
Legend of Dragoon: If You Still Believe. This song is
played in full at the end of the game during the
credits, as well as a shortened version in the
introduction in the first disc.
I had a dream that I could fly.
I can feel each moment as time goes by.
We'd never be too far away,
You would always be here, I heard you say.
I never thought,
Thought that it would be our last goodbye.
I still can dream,
That one day love will out from the sky.
Do you still remember
All the time that has gone by?
Do you still believe that
Love can fall out from the sky?
If from where you're standing,
You can see the sky above,
I'll be waiting for you,
If you still believe in love.
Find a way,
To bring back yesterday.
Find a way in love.
Hope you stay,
When tomorrow becomes today,
Love will find a way!
La, la, la…
I'll be waiting for you.
In my heart you were the one.
If I cannot find you,
I will look up to sun.
If from where you're standing,
You can see the sky above,
I'll be waiting for you,
If you still believe in love
Do you still remember
All the time that has gone by?
Do you still believe that
Love can fall out from the sky?
If from where you’re standing,
You can see the sky above,
I’ll be waiting for you,
If you still believe in love.
La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la.
La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la.
Do you believe?
La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la.
La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la.

XIV. Acknowledgments
-------------------------------------------------
Thank you for using this walkthrough!! I put plenty
of time into it, so I hope you enjoyed it and it helped
you where you were stuck.
Special thanks to all the various walkthroughs/FAQ’s
that helped inspire me to make mine. And even more
special thanks to Gbness’s and Cyril’s walkthrough; it
was a wonderful help to me.
And another special thanks to the creators of this
game, as they created one of the best video games in
history. They should (in my opinion) remake this game
for PS3. I also think that if enough of us band
together in this opinion, they might.
The last thank you goes to my brother, who
introduced me to this game as I said before. If not
for him, I wouldn’t have tried so hard to master it as
I have.
