Even though you can count DC RPG's on one hand I have to say that this is the best one out. It's a great game and it maintains all the greatness of the original and adds a new and interesting story. This guide will have major plot busting spoilers without a warning. Here’s your warning so don’t whine to me when you get spoiled. This guide will delve into every nook and cranny of the game, it has an extensive walkthrough that will help out with all problems big and small. I pretty much explain every aspect of the game I find in my opinion 99% of all items and weapons and such in the game. Because of the lack of a really good complete FAQ I once again come out of retirement to provide the Dyson Effect to a Game. Enjoy! ~Dyson Turner **************************************************************************** III: Game Basics a.

Character Introductions PC's (Playable Characters) Ryudo Age: 17 Weapon: Sword Hometown: Garlan Village Ryudo is a Geohound from a village where sword training is a must. Amongst the best swordsmen his abilities were unquestionable. People unknown to Ryudo tend to question his abilities by looking at him. The cynical Geohound has a 'who cares' attitude and is driven by money. He despises church and the people of it and everything Granas stands for. Not necessarily an evil man or Valmar worshipper but he doesn't see the point in worshipping anything higher than himself. ~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~ Elena Age: 17 Weapon: Staff Hometown: Carbo Village Elena is a Songtress of the church of Granas. Her faith in Granas is high and she has a deep understanding of the Holy Book and uses her knowledge to help people. It's either the Songtress' nature or her faith in Granas, which gives her a natural feeling of wanting to help people. Her main objective in life is to do the will of Granas. Her only fault would be obeying any and every order of those above her in the church, even if those orders go against her better judgement. Elena joins Ryudo after he becomes her bodyguard in Carbo Village. ~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~- Millenia Age: ?? Weapon: Bow Hometown: ?????? Millenia is a mysterious girl Ryudo will meet on his quest. She's naturally gifted with magic and uses it for her pleasure. She's very bossy loud and obnoxious. She shares Ryudo's view on Church and Granas. Everything has to go her way or else she'll be sad or angry and start torching stuff. However like Ryudo her anger and self-centeredness is only skin-deep. Ryudo meets Millenia in Carbo Village. ~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~- Roan Age: 13 Weapon: Knife Hometown: Cyrum Kingdom Roan is a well-spirited optimistic youth. He talks wise beyond his years and fights the same way. He's more of a wanderer, traveling from place to place just to meet different people and learn more about the Battle of Good and Evil. The anti-Ryudo some would say and personally he reminds me a lot of Justin from Grandia. Roan like Elena can't see people suffer and they both like to drag Ryudo into the problems of the folks around them. Roan joins Ryudo when he finds him in Durham Cave. ~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~- Mareg Age: Late 30's Weapon: Axe Hometown: Mareg is a large Beast-Man. Mareg wanders around looking for the man who destroyed his village Melfice. Mareg on the outside may look like a large brooding and barbaric character. Inside however he is quite intellectual and deep. He doesn't depend on chance for anything and everything to him is the flow of life. Mareg joins Ryudo when they meet in Liligue City ~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~- Tio (TI0-124) Age: ???? (appears to be a teenager) Weapon: Rings Hometown: Cyrum Kingdom? Tio is an Automata, a type of robot created to fight in the Battle of Good and Evil. Although she looks human she seems lost without a master, and she doesn’t know how to be her own master considering she lacks emotions and feelings. She seems attached to Mareg and is willing to follow him and take his orders. Tio joins Ryudo when she is found in Cyrum. ~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~- NPC's (Non Playable Characters) Skye Age: ~40 Hometown: ?????? Skye is Ryudo's best only and closest friend. He started traveling with Ryudo prior to the events of Grandia II. Ryudo trusts Skye with all his personal information and often comes to him with advice on his life. Skye is like Ryudo's father but they talk to each other like an old married couple. Deep down they both need each other as a support crutch and although it would seem a talking bird/ man friendship is strange Skye will get Ryudo through the rough times. ~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~ Zera Innocentius Age: 58 Hometown: St. Heim Papal State Zera is the all knowing wise and kind Pope of Granas. People come to Zera for aid and guidance in life. He is the world known figure head of Granas Church and people respect him and wouldn't want it any other way. He only asks for people to be kind to each other and worship Lord Granas. He is the first key goal of the game and he may have the answer to certain game events. Zera meets Ryudo in St. Heim Papal State Granas Cathedral. ~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~- Selene Age: 23 Hometown: St. Heim Papal State The High Priestess of Granas Church, she does whatever she can to lift darkness from the earth and help those in need. She travels with a large bunch of knights called the Cathedral Knights. However she seems to shy away from the love all and forgiveness part that Elena is into, and she seems to love the burn those who worship Valmar and anyone around him part. Selene although seemingly has good intentions to help people she doesn't care who she hurts in the process. Selene meets Ryudo in Mirumu Village. ~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~ Melfice Age: 22 Hometown: Garlan Village Melfice is a bringer of ruination, one who does not care for human lives or those around him. He has the ability to change to those around him, and to make average men want as much power as he. He seems to wander from place to place destroying all that come near him. His swordsmenship is beyond his years, his reason of being is unknown and no one can figure out what his true intentions are. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% c. The Growth System The Growth System is what this Grandia is based on which is similar to the Weapon system from the original Grandia. There are 4 ways for your character to grow. Unlike previous games where all you did was level up and it raised everything hear you pick and choose what part of the character needs the most help and or what skills need the most help. It will take some time to learn and master and the game does have an in-game tutorial in all general stores. Character Growth- Like most RPG's you gain experience and your character is better when you get to a certain set number of experience. This growth will raise HP, MP, and SP. I believe it also raises certain base stats by small degrees. Mana Egg Growth- Throughout the game you will find Mana Eggs. In the original Grandia a mana egg would be filled with magic and given to a certain character. This character would have it to the end of the game or until he/she leaves the party. In Grandia II you find a Mana Egg with an inborn set of skills. Like for instance the Holy Eggs have Water Earth and few Wind Spells. The main importance of the egg is to heal and help the party. Where the Chaos Egg has all 4 spell but focuses in on lightening and Fire spells, few of the spells will help the help the party the rest hurt foes. You use Magic Coins to improve the power of a spell or learn a new spell. Don't just learn the big spells that do damage and curing and negate status changing or curing spells. This is bad for business some times some spells require you to know those lesser important helper spells. Move Growth- Moves are different per character. These moves are born in, and can not be switched around. Even if you power up all your set moves certain other moves may not be able to be learned until you reach a certain level or a part of the game. Some moves can not be learned until a boss is defeated. (Which is the case with most of Millenia's moves) You can use Special Coins on moves to make them grow. Skill Book Growth- Skill Books are quite helpful. Equip a skill to a character can make up for weaknesses born in. This way making the characters more powerful, this also makes distributing coins more difficult and makes you think twice on rash decisions. To get the most out of a skill book don't take everything, there are some things that you won't find useful. If you don't use many items in battles then there is no reason to use skilled item use. Personally after maxing out every skill book I only used the major things so I find it better to just use the major thing and concentrating on maxing out the magic and moves you would rather use or get a lot of use out of. You can use Special Coins and Magic Coins on Skill Books. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% d. Battle System The battle system is very similar to that of the original Grandia. So for those of you who have been through the original none of this really applies to you. However some of you haven't been through the original so I suggest you look here for help understanding it. Normal Battle/Initiative/Surprise- This is all under your control in the world of Grandia. Unlike other games where this is random you can make it so you get the initiative. If the enemies turn red they have spotted you, if you run away from the enemies and they contact a character other than Ryudo it will be a surprise attack. If Ryudo makes contact with the enemies then it will be a normal attack. If Ryudo makes contact with the enemies and they are not red it's a surprise attack. It's best you get the surprise attack to make battles easier. IP Gauge- This is how the gauge works. When a character reaches COM everything stops and you enter a command. This command will be carried out when the character reaches Act. Sometimes it will take a while to reach act depending on the command. If you choose combo or critical then it will get there in a matter of seconds. If you choose a move or magic with only 1 star then it will take a decent amount of time before you can execute that attack. Here's where the problems lie. Say you do choose attack and say your character can't get to the enemy you choose, you will never execute the combo or critical and you have to wait normal time to the next turn. If you choose magic or move and only have one turn you are guaranteed if you reach act that this will be carried out. If an enemy uses a move that can "Cancel" your IP Gauge will be reset to about 50% of what it was. You will have to enter the attack again or another one. If you choose defend or evade or change your equipment. This will be executed immediately and your IP Gauge will fill up twice as fast as normal. Enemy IP Gauge- Like you all your enemies have an IP Gauge, also like you all the same rules apply. So what you want to do especially when facing bosses is to use a critical attack on the main part of the body once it passes the COM part of the IP Gauge. This way that attack would not be executed. You should always check what attacks the enemies are putting in by entering item critical combo or magic move and see what they are doing. Sometimes it will say stand by and have a face of one of your characters. This tells you they are ready to do something to that character but it's unsure as to what yet. Once it passes COM it will tell you exactly what it's about to do. If you have a character close enough and the attack the enemy can kill or seriously wreck one or more characters the best strategy is hope you can critical and cancel that enemy before it has a chance to do it. Escape: When a battle looks like a Loss, and there isn't an X over the white flag you can escape battle. Nothing is deducted from escaping except your personal manhood or womanhood. You can escape from pretty much any normal battle, boss battles are non-escapable and the only way out is either him or me. Millenia's Rage- During Battle over Millenia's portrait you may notice rotating colors. These colors represent Millenia's attitude, when Millenia is attacked or hurt and anyone she grows angry. Also if Millenia can not execute a command like critical and combo or she misses she grows angry as well. It starts out with nothing there, then it's green then light green, yellow, orange, finally red. When she gets hit while red she'll become really angry. The ground will shake and sometimes this is followed by an attack that makes all the enemies flyaway from her. Her IP Gauge will move quite fast and she will unleash her most powerful attacks. She's not invincible like this so you still have to cure her; also she doesn't have infinite SP and MP so you have to handle those to. It's wise to have one character feed her MP and SP items if you have them to help her out. She'll stay like this until the battle is won or 3-5 turns. ***************************************************************************** IV: Walkthrough @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ C H A P T E R 1@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ 1a. Witt Forest When the game starts you'll see a cool intro. After that you'll see people in a forest, several women of Granas and townsfolk. You'll see a bird swoop past them, and then you'll see our hero the Geohound Ryudo hanging from a rope with Lizardmen below. Something will distract most of them and Ryudo will kill the remaining one. The others will return and throw spears at Ryudo, Ryudo's companion Skye will fly down and save him from the onslaught. Skye can't Ryudo but so far, eventually they will land. Ryudo will be with a rude man and he will pay him. The rude man's daughter will think Ryudo and the rude will pull her away. Eventually Ryudo and Skye will walk away themselves. Neither Ryudo nor Skye will like the man they just worked for. After they leave the screen Skye will see a note from a tree Ryudo has another job. Even though he's tired he's willing to do it, Granas Church wants to hire Ryudo to be a bodyguard. Ryudo despises Granas Church but there's money involved so begrudgingly he's willing to go. [I WILL ONLY SAY THIS ONCE THE RED LINE IS NORTH. NORTH WILL ALWAYS FACE THE TOP OF THE COMPASS AND IT’S NEXT TO THE YELLOW BALL.] Go north then west for a 'wound salve', and then go north, west then south for a 'poison antidote'. Go east until you reach a road then go south. When you run out of road go west and you will find a most odd out of place, SAVE POINT. Save there then go south and up the ladder. Go west get the treasure a 'Blizzard Charm'. Then go south and down a different ladder, go east then south and pass the first spider who coincidentally serves as this games very first encounter. Go southwest until you find a treasure which contain a 'Wound Salve' 'Hand Grenade' and 'Yomi's Elixir'. Go west then south and you will reach Carbo Village. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% 1b. Carbo Village Character Levels: Ryudo 10 Ryudo will see sisters of Granas as he enters. Sister Tessa and other sisters are leaving one of the sisters behind to go to a ceremony. One of the sisters will mention they hired a bodyguard for the left behind sister. The main group of sisters will leave Carbo, the remaining sister and another woman will go in a different direction. A man will approach Ryudo and explain what the Sisters of Granas do. He says they drive away evil spirits and the Sister left behind is a Songtress. When you gain control of Ryudo hit the Inn for saving and recovery. Then go to the General store if you want and have the money to. Explore the town and speak with the people when you're done fooling around locate the Granas Church. Ryudo will hear a lovely song coming from the church and Skye believes it’s the left behind Songtress. Ryudo and Skye will enter and indeed it is the Songtress. After a while she'll stop and question her talents, Ryudo will want her to continue and then badgers her. She'll think Ryudo looks suspicious, and Ryudo will explain she hired him. She will not know what Ryudo is talking about, and ask him to leave. Just then a father will walk in and Ryudo will introduce himself to the father and the father will introduce himself and the Songtress Elena. Carius will apologize on behalf of himself and Elena, Elena at this point will be told to leave to prepare. Carius will then ask Ryudo to wait for him in the inn. Leave the church and go to the inn and tell the innkeeper you are waiting for Carius. The innkeeper will tell you to wait in the main room, in about a second Carius will show up and mention about the Geohound. The innkeeper is surprised the church is dealing with Geohounds and doesn't like it. The father will ignore him and go over to Ryudo. Ryudo will ask the father what he wants him as a bodyguard to do. Carius will explain that there is a ceremony being held in Garmia Tower he wants Ryudo to escort the sister to that tower. When the ceremony is over Ryudo has to return the sister back to Carbo, Ryudo doesn't understand why the church would hire someone like him. Carius will see this as his cue to start preaching to Ryudo, even though Ryudo doesn't care for the father's knowledge. Seeing this Carius will put Ryudo's reward on the table, Carius will tell Ryudo to return to the church and pick up the sister. Carius will leave the inn, return to the church the Songtress Elena and Father Carius will be waiting. Apparently Elena is dead-set against Ryudo being her bodyguard and would much rather go alone. She doesn't want to be the only Sister who to take a bodyguard, Ryudo doesn't really care but he feels obligated because he was already paid. Carius will remind Elena of her role in the ceremony and tell her she has to go, reluctantly she will accept the companionship of a Geohound. When "Princess" Elena joins you go out of Carbo to North Silesia. When you're on the world map proceed to THE BLACK FOREST 1. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% 1c. The Black Forest Character Levels: Ryudo 10 When you enter go east then north and get the 'Medical Herb'. Now go west then north and Elena will stop.

When you enter you'll actually see the tower, when you gain control go up (No compass). You'll see the other sisters, they'll all comment on Ryudo and about him being a Geohound. Tessa will quiet the others, and Elena will thank Ryudo. Ryudo will question what's going on there. All they will tell Ryudo is to wait outside until it's over and that the ceremony can not be disturbed. The sisters will enter the tower the screen will shift to Ryudo waiting outside with Skye. Ryudo will complain about having to wait that long, Skye will shut him up. Ryudo doesn't feel right about the place; he also questions the integrity of the tower and the murals outside. Skye will mention that it's probably been around since the Battle of Good and Evil. Suddenly a light will flash it seems there is a problem, Ryudo wants to check it out since he is suppose to be watching Elena. When you gain control go inside GARMIA TOWER 1ST FLOOR. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% 1d.

Ryudo will look around the room and see nothing but carnage. Elena will be floating in some sort of black fog, this will cause Ryudo to have flashbacks of past memories. Elena will grow black wings, Elena will tell the fog she's not evil and try and forbid it from entering her body. Ryudo will save Elena by jumping at her and pulling her away from the fog. The thing in the middle of the room will break, Ryudo will realize the tower is going to crumble, Ryudo will slide out of the window on a rope. Elena will seem ok and wake up. Elena won't know where she is or how she got there. Ryudo will turn around and notice a ton of black fog surrounding the tower. Elena will then ask about the other Sisters, Ryudo will inform her of the events he saw in the Tower. Elena won't want to believe it and want to go back in for the others. Ryudo will make her come to her senses, Elena says they lost to Valmar in there. Elena will not want to be the only survivor, and Ryudo doesn’t' even seem to care all those Sister's died. This will anger Elena, Ryudo and Elena will leave the forest. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% 1e. Carbo Village (2nd visit) Character Levels: Ryudo 11 Ryudo and Elena will be back in Carbo. Elena will still be upset over the deaths of the other Sisters but she will calm herself down.

Elena will question her 'wings' and Carius will tell her she needs rest. Elena will leave the room, Carius will explain they were trying to seal the "Wings of Valmar". Instead of sealing them Elena was possessed by them. Carius will then explain about the battle of Good vs. Evil. He'll explain Valmar is sealed and he's trying to break his seals.

Liligue City Character Levels: Ryudo 17; Elena 15; Roan 16 When you enter people will be leaving town, they say that the town is cursed. They also say you shouldn't stay in the town. Then about the Skyway they say they normally don't let people on. They say Gadan is the only person allowed on the Skyway. They are deadset on leaving town, and then they will do so. Elena is tired and wants to go to an inn, Roan knows of a local delicacy they should try. Anyhow go to the Liligue Inn and spend the night. Arum Root is the only thing they have, Ryudo decides they'll eat it. It's the delicacy Roan was talking about it earlier. You'll have another meal segment, this one focuses in on the Arum Root and how horrible it is. Anyway afterwards save. Leave the Inn go to the General Store if you like then go south. Elena will spot a small boy huddled near a wall. He seems hungry, Elena will pull out a piece of fruit, and the boy will run away. A man will walk up asking Elena not to give any food to him; it's too tempting. The only thing people can eat is Arum Root. Elena doesn't understand why, the man will then walk away. Elena wants to help the towns' people she will walk into a nearby house. Ryudo and Roan will follow her, the family of the boy is complaining about having to eat Arum Root. They will also want to leave town but the Engineer doesn't know if he can make a living anywhere else. Elena will walk in on the conversation, they advise the party to leave town now. They'll explain that a week ago the family lost their sense of taste. They fount out the whole town was suffering the same way. All the food tasted like sand or rocks, the only thing people found edible were the barely edible Arum Root. They also can't get enough food and are always hungry. Roan and Ryudo haven't heard of a disease like that before. Elena wants to help but Ryudo only cares about getting on the Skyway. The Engineer will tell you that Mr. Gadan runs the Skyway but he probably won't help. You'll gain control over the party leave the house go south to you hit a tree. Go southeast from the tree to reach Gadan's House. When you enter there will be a fat man slopping food down his shoot that's Gadan. Gadan can't let you use the Skyway since it’s only for business, then he will realize that you must be taking Elena to the cathedral so it is business. He wants 10,000G to take you across. You probably do not have that much G, Ryudo will claim he does. He'll tell you that you ride it the next morning. Elena is more concerned that he is still able to eat normal food. Gadan feels he's fortunate that he doesn't have it, and everyone else should be fortunate as well. He thinks everyone sinned to Granas and he is special, he also thinks Elena smells good. Elena is mad she can't believe how he allows others to starve around him while he eats. He'll argue that he pays everyone good and everyone should thank him for being so generous. He says the church might have the answer to the hunger problem, you'll regain control leave Gadan's and everyone will stand outside. Roan can not believe how much he can eat, he also doesn't know what they'll do about the money. Ryudo doesn't have a real plan either, Skye thinks they should just beat Gadan up. But they realize they can't do that with Elena around, Elena is more concerned with the town's people she can't understand how those blessed by Lord Granas can have a thing like this happen to them. Elena suggest they should go to Church, Ryudo really doesn't care to help Ryudo does not want any trouble. Roan will want to help seeing as they can't go anywhere until the next morning. Ryudo is dead set against going to the church, Ryudo will finally breakdown and decide to go. Go west and up the road on the mountain keep going and you will find the church. Speak to the Father inside Elena will ask him about the town. The father has also been wondering what's going on with the people. He doesn't understand what's happening he doesn't believe Lord Granas has turned on the people. Ryudo will start his usual god is nothing routine. Ryudo will mention how Gadan is still fine, the father will say that Gadan use to be a nice man, now all he cares about is G and food. He also mentions when Gadan changed people lost their taste at the same time. Roan can't understand how the two can be connected, He also says if you go upstairs you'll see the truth. The father will leave follow him up stairs, when you get up there speak to the father he will tell you to look out at the town. The party will do so, Elena will want to know about the pillars, the Father says they're from a ruin that was damaged when the town was built. Roan will come to the conclusion that the town was built on a Temple of Granas. Roan can also tell the pillars are surrounding something. Ryudo thinks it might be underground. The Father will tell you that the underground base was too large to be removed. Ryudo will assume that it may be a Valmar Temple with a piece of him inside. The Father is not sure about that, Elena thinks a Seal may be broke and that’s why the people are suffering. Ryudo does not want to investigate it any further. Elena says it’s her duty as a Follower of Granas to investigate it, Ryudo complains that he's not being paid to investigate. He says Granas can take care of it and Elena needs to go to the Cathedral, Elena will beg Ryudo to her investigate she has to, Ryudo doesn't want to. So in a very 'Justin' like move Elena decides she will investigate by herself, Ryudo will now be forced to go since he is her bodyguard. Elena will thank him, and the screen will shift back to downstairs. The father will warn the party that the Ruins maybe dangerous, Elena will pay no mine to the warning she is ready to go. She'll stop and ask The Father about her nightmares. The Father will give her some righteous words. Ryudo wants Elena to get a move on, you'll regain control. Leave the Church start to go down the road and the Beast-Man will be there. The Beast-Man says that the town has an offensive smell, he can smell Melfice in the town. Ryudo will ask if Melfice is in the town, he does not know. Elena will ask for his help, he want to help you find Melfice. Beast-Man 'Mareg' joined my party at level 18.

Ryudo tells him they do it by burning a village down. Selene says that Granas' purifying fire is done only to those effected by Valmar. Ryudo doesn't buy into her excuse for murdering people. Elena afraid, ask what do they do to people possessed by Valmar. Selene explains that when villages get burned they rid the world of Valmar. The Chief doesn't want that; Selene says only sinners die by the fire. Only the Holy Fire will pardon those who have never sinned. Selene will want to know more of the situation, The Chief, Selene, and most of the Holy Knights will leave, Ryudo says they have to stay the night in the village.

She seems worried that Millenia will take her over like what happened to Gadan. She also worried that Millenia might just want to restore Valmar. Ryudo says that everything will be figured out once they get to the Cathedral. Elena then quotes a scripture and says Millenia is the darkness inside her. Ryudo will try and lighten the mood, but Elena does not want to hear it, she's serious. Ryudo will apologize Ryudo can't kill Millenia. He'll then draw a knife to Elena to put her out of her misery. He was only string to scare her, so she wouldn't complain about something that can't be helped. Elena will not say anything, Ryudo will want to know what's wrong. Elena then will want to be killed to destroy Valmar. Ryudo will not believe her, she says she wants to be killed quickly and painlessly. Ryudo can tell Selene's words have influenced her, Ryudo tells her killing her is not part of the job. He'll then tell her to get to sleep and not to worry about it.

Go over to the window an eyeball will be there. The eyeball will leave Roan and Mareg will run in. They both ask if Ryudo is ok, apparently they all had the same dream. Elena runs in and asks what’s wrong, Ryudo mentions about the eyeball. Skye will tell them a big flapping eyeball was just there; Elena will worry about Irina. Ryudo decides they should see about her, leave the room and go to the one Nicolas was in. There's an eyeball over Irina, the eyeball will fly away.

Cure often especially those who do not have the Life Up skill. Delta Burst is what you have to worry about so I advise you to kill one Eyeball Bat early in the match so they can't use Delta. Don't worry about the Tendrils you should be strong enough to take what they have to dish out. They will use Crackle when it's weak so try and keep HP at maximum and near it. ----- METHOD 2: (CONDITIONS: LEVELS CONSIDERABLY LOWER THAN MY OWN AND NO LIFE UPS, OR LIFE UP HAS ONLY 1 OR 2 STARS) Take out 1 eyeball bat then go after the Tendrils. Hammer then Tendrils hard one at a time, o take out the weaker one then take out the other. After that get rid of the other 3 Eyeball Bats. Finally use your magic and whatever SP you may have left on the Eye. It'll be tough but you'll manage, he's considerably weaker and easier to defeat without help. This method just takes longer but if you're not strong enough, there's no way you would be able to stand up to the barrage of attacks that he dishes out with the help. ############################################################################ After the battle you'll be in the Garden.

He will tell her not to frighten people away from Granas he will then tell the others not to be afraid and return to their rooms, they will leave. Pope Zera will see Ryudo and greet him and apologize to him for making him wait. Zera will ask to speak to him in a different room. Ryudo will greet Elena and she will walk away. Go left to Pope Room Corridor, then go to the Pope's Room. The pope will be ready for the request but Ryudo wants to know more about Elena's condition, Zera tells him he can't do anything However if you find the Sword of Granas, there might be hope. The Sword of Granas (also called the 'Divine Sword' & Granasaber) slew Valmar long ago, it can restore light to the world. Zera says Ryudo is the only one capable of doing this, as a reward Ryudo can have anything he wants. He also wants Elena to go with him, Ryudo doesn't see the point of Elena tagging along. Zera will explain to Ryudo that he is better prepared to protect her from Valmar than the church is. He will tell Ryudo that Valmar devours other Pieces of its self until it's whole. Once its whole the Day of Darkness will begin, and since Granas has not recovered from the last battle they need to fight Darkness for him. With the Granasaber they can once again defeat Valmar, Ryudo will ask him where is the Granasaber. All he knows is it lies within "The Legion of Darkness. Ryudo will have to sleep on the decision, he will allow you to stay in the cathedral. Leave the Pope's room and Elena will follow, she will ask Ryudo to go along with it. Go back out to the Audience Chamber, Oro and a few other holy men will want to know what happened. Ryudo will tell them about the request to find the Sword, Oro will question Ryudo's experience he figures finding the Granasaber should be up to someone with more experience. Ryudo will naturally take offense to that statement, Oro tells Ryudo he better not accept he won't be able to find it. Ryudo will then insult Oro, Oro will get pestered and leave with his followers. Go back to the lobby and go left to the Guest Room Lobby. Go right and save at the SAVE POINT. Go inside the library and speak to Mareg & Roan, they'll notice Ryudo has shown up and want to know everything. The screen will shift and you will be at the end of the story, Ryudo will want to know if they fount out anything here. Roan tells Ryudo he should read the books, Mareg is thinking about food. You'll gain control read the books around the room for more in-depth and a harder to understand version of the Battle of Good and Evil and other old things. Leave the room when you're finished and go left to the GuestRoom. Speak to the Priest inside and he'll tell you have to wait a bit for dinner. The screen will shift to Oro by he worrying about leaving their hope in finding the Granasaber. He'll use some device and during it Valmar's Moon will shine through the windows. He'll notice it, it's definitely a bad sign. He'll look out of the window Millenia is there, he recognizes her as the 'Wings of Valmar'. Oro will be pretty scared the screen will shift to the party at the dinner table. Ryudo will announce he will look for the Sword. Mareg & Roan will want to come along as well. Roan will start to say something but a Priest will come in. He will announce that Valmar has taken human form and is inside the Cathedral. Ryudo tells him he knows nothing about it, when he leaves Ryudo knows it was Millenia. You'll gain control leave the guestroom and go down to the main lobby. Go right to the Balcony, Millenia is there looking at her moon shining through. Millenia knows Ryudo is looking for the sword, Ryudo can't believe she would appear in the Granas Cathedral. Millenia just want to 'be around' Ryudo. She doesn’t' care about Granas, Ryudo doesn't think its a good idea she stays around him since he's hunting for the Granasaber and doesn't want to hurt her. Millenia will misinterpret that statement, after a while the screen will shift back to the guestroom. Leave the guestroom and go to the Audience chamber, Elena & Zera will be waiting. Zera will ask if Ryudo made his decision, Ryudo will want to know how the Sword will be used and who will keep it. Zera tells him after Valmar is gone no one will keep it. The rest of the party will motion Ryudo to go ahead, Ryudo tells Zera he will find the Granasaber. But not for Granas or the Church but for all the suffering people who need to be helped. Zera will like Ryudo's inspiring words, he will tell Elena to leave as well. Zera says Ryudo will have to face his past in order to receive the Granasaber. Zera will then give Elena the 'Book of Priests'. Zera will bid you farewell and go back to his pupate. Elena will thank Ryudo for accepting everyone will be glad they're traveling with Elena again. You'll gain control leave the Cathedral and party will be standing outside. They are still glad Elena's back, Ryudo will mention the fact that hey have no destination.

The innkeeper will come over and tell them about a bazaar, the party thinks it’s a good idea to check it out. The innkeeper will mention a man named Hemble behind the Square.

The innkeeper will compliment on Ryudo on Elena, Elena will get offended by it because of her position in the church.

Elena will go downstairs and greet Mareg & Ryudo the innkeeper will remind them about the bazaar. Mareg won't accompany you because 3 are not a couple. Mareg will leave for the dock, Ryudo and Elena are the party for now. Leave the inn go to the informant tent and speak to the man in front of it. He's Hemble, Ryudo will ask him about the Granasaber, he won't answer Ryudo. Ryudo will suggest that they act like a couple, Elena can't because of her position in the church. Elena will then reluctantly think about it and agree to it. He will ask if you're a couple Ryudo will confirm this. Hemble will incite you into the tent go inside.

He will then bicker some more at Elena & Ryudo being together, Elena will stick up for Ryudo. Hemble wants to challenge him to Arm Wrestling, if Hemble wins he keeps Skye. Elena will cheer Ryudo on and the screen will shift to the arm wrestling scene. The controls are to hold R to increase power tap a to regain endurance. But you can't do both at the same time. It's not really hard the best strategy is to count 2 'Mississippi’s while holding R then quickly tap A. This will slowly weaken Hemble until you are at an advantage. Now what you want to do is to increase holding R longer and tapping A less when you have next to no endurance go on a Tapping spree. Eventually you will take him down, however you Elena will distract him and you will win that way as well. After that Hemble will be upset over the loss, Ryudo wants to know about the Granasaber. Hemble knows nothing about... what a waste of time... The screen will shift to Elena & Ryudo walking and talking about what just happened. Elena gets tired and sits at a bench. Ryudo will offer to get drinks, go south then east around the fountain to reach the drink stand. You can pick the fake drinks for fun, but the real one that you can use is the one that is blank.

Not only is it powerful it likes to cure himself when he drops below 10,000 HP. Your best bet is to cancel those arms both arms use Healer so cancel them before the can. Fortunately it will only cure itself 4- 5 times, but this will negate the damage and the SP and MP you wasted on a good attack. Millenia's Fallen Wings are always useful, feed her Butter Rolls if you have them so she can keep doing it. I prefer Flying Tenseiken & Dragon Rise above all. I had Mareg canceling curing and helping with the P's, The Bullets are annoying when they cancel you and he uses them often. Space out and he will use Gravity to get everyone back together. When he's weak he has half his HP he will start the Tail Pacer. When he's low he will pull out his spectacular Valmar Attack which does a ton of damage. Cured the character who takes it immediately because sometimes he will use it twice in a row. ############################################################################ After the battle Millenia will devour the claw leaving behind a girl. Ryudo will get up close and see that she is not human. Roan will recognize her as an Automata, Ryudo will question Mareg's senses, Mareg was sure it was Melfice. Millenia says it may have been controlled by another Piece of Valmar. Roan is disappointed at his surroundings now. He thought the Gate had something deeper inside.

Let’s let the battle commence! ############################################################################ Boss Fight VII Melfice (19000) Sword (11,000) Regenerator (?????) Difficulty: Very Hard EXP 1500 G 0 SC 3600 MC 1800 Items: Maken Valborg Book of Swords Soul of Asura Special Attacks: Demon Horde Slash: Major Attack; Special **Wailing Soul Slash: Major Attack; Single Wow!: Raises ATK 1; Single Gravity: Draws party to one member; all Poizn: Minor damage; range; poison Tremor: Earth attack; minor damage; range Diggin': Raises DEF 1; all Shhh: Blocks Magic; single Runner- Raises Move 1; all Speedy: Raises Act 1; single *Evil Horn Attack: Major attack; all *Quake: Earth Attack; Major damage; all (* - he did it when I killed his sword ** - He didn't do it this play through and battle but I'm sure he can do it) Don't kill the SWORD! It may sound like a good idea when he hammers you with 2 Demon Horde Slash's in a row. But killing the sword is a waste of SP & MP, Quake & Evil Horn Attack are far stronger than Tremor and Demon Horde Slash. Crackle is a very good spell to use against Melfice. First give him a barrage of Specials, he wants your best shot so that’s what you will give him. Don't allow Elena to stay Magic Blocked for too long you will need her for curing if she still has the Holy Egg. When she has little SP she should be the one using Crackle with the aforementioned egg. Ryudo should keep using Flying Tenseiken if he or Mareg gets Move Blocked (Melfice's normal attack can move block you) quickly remedy it. Tio should help cure and use items especially the ice attack item. Don't even try to remedy Melfice's status enhancing magic just let him be as is. It's hard to defeat him when he's really fast and string so don't let the battle carry on too long. This battle will take more than one try and from personal experience beating him just once is hard! He's not an impossible boss, if you are having troubles then you either don't have your Life UPS or you're levels are too low. Raise your levels, and the ice enhancing skills should be equipped Elena as well and maxed out as well. ############################################################################ After the battle Mareg is ready to finish off Melfice. Ryudo will approach the knelt Melfice, Melfice admits to giving in to Valmar. He was greedy for more power and he doesn't even know what he has been doing since then. He's glad he saw Ryudo before he dies; Melfice will fall over. Melfice will tell Ryudo the 'Divine Sword' lies to the East. He will thank Ryudo again, Ryudo will beg Melfice not to die. Melfice will die, and Ryudo's arm will have a purple mist around it. Ryudo will scream and unsheathe his sword towards Elena. He will come close to chopping her down but he will stop and fall over. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% 2c.

They thought Melfice could protect them from anything, and when he left they became afraid of everything. They trusted Melfice with their lives now they have to trust themselves.

Mareg will explain to Ryudo honored his life and others while Melfice wasted his and didn't care about others. He honors Ryudo for this and thus can't kill him. Tio doesn't understand, Mareg will comfort her, the screen will shift to Elena at Ryudo's bedside. Elena will plead with Ryudo to wake up, she will not want the Horns removed because Ryudo's soul will be shattered if they are. All that has been done is wasted if Ryudo remains like this. Elena doesn't want to pray to Valmar or ask Millenia for help but she has to. She will beg for Millenia to show herself, Elena will grab a mirror and Millenia's reflection will show in it.

Ryudo will not want to hear Reena's answer, Elena will show up and say there had to be a way besides having her die she's inhuman. There are more reasons to live even with pain its part of life, Ryudo will draw his sword. Ryudo knows Valmar is trying to fool him the screen will shift to Ryudo & Melfice in mist. Melfice will want to know why he seeks the Divine Sword. Is it for Power? Ryudo wants to protect those he cares about most, Millenia and Elena will show up and lend him power. He will slash through the Horned Melfice and the 19-yr. old Melfice will show up. Melfice says the Horns are now dormant he will thank Ryudo for saving him from the torment.

When you're done the Carro's will do their Poff Nut happy Dance. The north door will open go north on to the pedestal get 'Nut of Life'. Ryudo can't believe this is it, the pedestal will drop and Ryudo & Elena will fall into the moss below. The moss stinks really bad according to Ryudo & Elena. Go north and to the wooden plank Ryudo & Elena will scoff at the trial. The plank will catapult them out of a Tree trunk. 6 villagers will surround Ryudo & Elena they both are frightened by this. The villagers like the smell of the Moss that was the trial. If anyone of them would of went in they wouldn't of came out. A villager will give you the 'Ring of Guarding' as a reward.

Return to the Hut of Trials and get the proper amount of Walnuts 4 times and you will get the following 'Saucer', 'Miracle Scales', 'Platinum Feather' and 'Book of War'. When you're doe with that go speak to the Elder, he'll admire the smell then ask if there's a talent you have. It doesn't matter what it is; Ryudo will ask Elena to sing. Elena will be surprised Ryudo asked her to sing. Ryudo says he likes her singing, Elena will be flattered and embarrassed at the same time. Elena will decide to sing Skye will remind Ryudo about 'not liking women or God' and now he wants a 'woman' to sing about 'God'. Ryudo tries to explain it’s different with Elena but Skye will just mock him and tell him to act without thinking. Mareg will seem moved by the song, he tells Tio it makes feel warm inside. Tio says she feels nothing, and Mareg can not believe that. Tio does feel something but she does not understand it. Mareg tells her it’s her heart she will ask Mareg about living free. Mareg explains to her its not to live by the laws its it do and go what and where you want. Similar to how Ryudo lives now he lives under the laws of nature. Tio thinks it means to be you own master. Mareg will command her to do it, Tio then says she her own master and will call Mareg his name instead of 'Master'. Mareg will get up and Tio will call him back to test it out, she says it felt different than calling him master it felt warmer. Mareg says that’s her heart but she can't confirm her heart. Mareg tells her she has to feel her heart. The screen will shift to Elena song is over. A couple of villagers will compliment Elena on her singing. She will sit back down; the villagers will want to song. Elena like their song Elena wants to see the Spring at night she heard it's beautiful then, Ryudo wants to see the spring too. When you gain control go no northeast to Nanan's Spring. Walk and Ryudo and Elena will stop, Elena admits to being nervous it was her first time not saying for Lord Granas. She enjoyed this time more than any time, and the people enjoyed it as well. Elena loves singing it makes her feel good, Ryudo will thank Elena for helping him with the Horns. Ryudo will say he felt her in his heart like they were connected and she is special to him. Elena can't believe he said that, but she is glad that he did. She will then need a drink of water, Elena will run off it didn't go exactly like Ryudo planned it. The screen ill shift to Elena by the Spring, Elena can't believe Ryudo just blurted that out, she can't respond because of her duties as a Sister. Millenia's reflection will appear in the water, Millenia tells Elena it couldn't work out between them two because she can't love Ryudo because of her God. Elena will deny that, Millenia will scoff at Elena. Elena claims her higher task prevents her from saying differently, Millenia claims she would give everything to Ryudo her entire heart. Millenia then claims Ryudo can't love Elena either and Elena will tell Millenia to stop. Millenia says Ryudo's is hers she'll take over Elena's body. The screen will shift back to Ryudo waiting by himself he will go and find Elena. Go east then north on to the branch walk along it and then come back down. Ryudo will stop he can't find her, Millenia will show up Ryudo is surprised to see her there as well as disappointed. Millenia will think he does not want to see her, Millenia will mention how beautiful the moon is, and Ryudo will want to know what Millenia wants. Ryudo can't tell her anything because she's so sporadic she's here one second and gone the next. She will put Ryudo on the spot and want to know what he wants to tell her. She'll cling to Ryudo's arm and want to hear it. Ryudo will shrug her off and tell her to stop, what is she thinking?! Millenia says she thinks of him, she wants to make Ryudo love her Ryudo says to stop creeping him out but Millenia can't help it she's too in love. Then Millenia will tell Ryudo to forget it, Ryudo will admit to the fact that he might love her, BUT he also feels the same way towards Elena. Millenia thinks she can't win him over because she's not a complete human. Ryudo will deny that he'll tell her he thinks about both of them and can't choose. Millenia says she loves him more he come first for her. Ryudo tells her it’s not fair to either one to choose. Millenia will decide for him by kissing him and then turning back into Elena. Elena won't know what she just did. Ryudo will see Millenia's name and Elena will that the kiss between Ryudo & Millenia was mutual. She'll run off back to the village and think that Ryudo chose Millenia. Elena will think now only of her mission and think it was silly to have feelings for Ryudo. The screen will shift to the party the next morning next to the stair log. Ryudo will thank them and the Elder will do the same. He says go to the Tower of Purple Cloud in The Great Rift.

It's the way of the world people are powerless they pray to Granas but fear the Day of Darkness. They have no faith and only pretend to, Ryudo can't believe Selene killed them for that. Selene says they needed Salvation, they wanted their problems ended so she did so. Elena will ask why does she have to go so far. Selene will ask Elena if she has forgotten her mission or does she push her faith now in Ryudo. She says she devoted her life to Zera, then the Cathedral Knights will form a circle. She will ask why is this is her test, she shows Zera her faith and love. She starts to keel over the edge and then the party will look mortified.

If you do it will be much harder. Bash him hard with White Apocalypse, Sky Dragon Slash and Beast King Smash. Tio should use magic like Dragon Zap if she has that egg. The main attack it does it Black Spew and its not very strong. It's just annoying, it will also screw with your ACT and DEF don't worry about it let it slide. You will have to cure every so often its better to wait until someone is yellow since it doesn't have an attack powerful enough to bring somebody down from that stage. ############################################################################ After the battle Elena will absorb the heart. Selene's circlet is left behind, Elena can't believe High Priestess Selene was possessed by Valmar. Elena says she just completed the task assigned to her by Zera.

Zera will walk into a room followed by Elena, follow them to the Forbidden Room. Zera says that light and darkness are intertwined and the world is covered by Darkness. Elena will want to know why they had to get the Granasaber. Zera will say that Darkness is strong light is weak. Long ago Darkness and Light fought in the Battle of Good and Evil. You will then get a scene, he says long ago people basked in Granas' light and love. Everything was good in those times, until Valmar's darkness showed up and changed the people. The People waged war and the battle went on for a long time. Finally it came down to Granas & Valmar the battle was over. Lord Granas died in the battle; that was an extremely cool scene. Ryudo can not believe it, Elena can't either. That's why light is gone and that’s why Valmar is about to be revived. Mareg will ask why did they have to hunt for the Granasaber. Zera will say the Sword of a Dead God couldn't defeat Valmar, Valmar will be reborn, Elena can't believe he is saying these things. Originally he wanted Melfice to find the sword but couldn't, Zera wanted to unleash the Body of Valmar on the world. Ryudo can't believe it, he says that Selene carried out her last duty to perfection. Her duty is helping him Revive Valmar! Elena can't believe all she has done has been for nothing. Ryudo says Valmar can't be controlled and the world will be in ruins. Zera says the world needs a God and Valmar is the only one who can save it. Tio will notice Valmar's seal. He says Elena needs to awaken Valmar. He says he will drive out Valmar from her. Zera will walk over to her, Elena will call out for Ryudo but he can't get through. Zera says look to the moon and they will teleport out of there. There will be a scene of them teleporting out of there. The screen will shift back to the Forbidden room, Ryudo will want to save Elena, Tio says they can get to the moon on the Granasaber but the energy is sparse and Ryudo's Horns may activate. Ryudo knows the risks but he has to try. You'll gain control, go right down the stairs and into the Room of Truth. Use the thing to return to the Holy Room. Leave out of the Cathedral and return to ST. HEIM PAPAL STATE. Go to the inn and save if you want to, return to the Pastures and follow the arrow to the hill. Ryudo says they will save the world.

Zera will greet her and tell her its time for her revival she will be made complete. Millenia can't believe Elena is allowing this, she'll admit to wanting to become Valmar but Elena never thought about what's right and what's important only the orders she was giving. Zera will ask Millenia what's wrong, Millenia can't become Valmar she loves Ryudo too much. She doesn't want the power now, she wanted to become Valmar to be rid of Elena and remain with Ryudo. She doesn't want it now, she doesn't want to destroy the world or kill Ryudo. Zera doesn't care he doesn't see that as a reason to not become a God. Millenia says she doesn't want to and wanted to stay with Ryudo. Zera can't believe her; he blames her attitude on the souls she has devoured.

You'll get a FMV of Mareg praying to Granas for them to get out of there, and they will. All the Valmar offspring will surround him Tio & Ryudo will call out for Mareg while in the Granasaber.

She wants an answer Ryudo says it doesn't matter since Mareg & Millenia are gone. What can Elena do now? Tio understand that Mareg is dead, and she now knows of her heart. She doesn't like it, it’s filled with sorry and she rather not feel it. Tio says that Millenia and Mareg want them to live but how? What should they be doing?

Elena is still miffed by the big secret and Valmar's Revival. Elena doesn't see how every thing she believed in and hoped for is dead and Valmar's revival all these things are getting to her. Ryudo says it's beyond them now, Elena will blame get self she had darkness in her, Ryudo says it was all Zera's fault she was used. She will pray to Lord Granas for forgiveness. This will anger Ryudo; she wanted to help everyone no matter what he knows Elena wants to help everyone and not just Granas Followers. Ryudo says everyone is the same no matter who they worship. Elena will say she serves everyone the people she loves and everybody else. Ryudo reminds her about how she was upset when Millenia died. She will thank Ryudo for understanding, Ryudo says they have to do something. A knight will show up and say Roan is waiting, leave the room. Go to the King's office, Roan is there chewing out his Consul. The Consul tells him they have to leave Valmar alone, Roan will reluctantly allow this.

Roan says if Ryudo loses his Horns that all will be lost. Ryudo refuses to run away, Millenia and Mareg wouldn't want that. Roan explains that Mareg & Millenia didn't give up their lives so he could throw his away foolishly. Ryudo says nothing they can do will be a waste. Ryudo will ask why did they die? Elena will relay the sad truth about the Day of Darkness; Valmar's Revival, and no Granasaber and Granas' death. Elena doesn't want Ryudo to die without hope she does not want to lose him. Ryudo says that Valmar will come no matter what he's the only one who can stop him. He has the Horns and as long as he has the Horns Valmar can be stopped. Mareg & Millenia knew this and they knew he would be the only one who can fight a God. Elena says they died to save his like and not to save a weapon. Ryudo can't honor their death by running, Tio will say Ryudo's use of 'honor' is different that how Mareg used it. Roan says that Ryudo shouldn't waste his power foolishly.

Following information submitted to me by CrystalDragon --- Apparently, when you hit the switch that lowers the stairs to the 'New Valmar 3' area, almost all the other platforms raise as well. From the save point in the 'New Valmar 2' area, if you face the stairs, and then turn left and keep going to the north-west most door (still considering that north is ths stairs) you will go into a room that you could previously not reach because the platform was not raised. The room has green walkways, with monsters below, if you walk around there, one of the walkways leads to the 'holy ghost staff' and hitting the switch in the room that you first enterd with the mosters below, raises all the other platforms with monsters and items. --- Go west slash the wall continue west slash the wall go around the corner go north then east then north... damn maze. Go west then north then west continue west inside the regular part. Go west slash the wall and get the 'Meteor Scroll' 'Face Paint' and 'Priestess Robe'. Go back north then east into the maze. Go north then east then north then east. Then go south then east into the room. Go east down the stairs then go west into the purple tube. Go west then south into the room go east slash the wall go around the corner and get the 'Omni-potent Seed'. Go back around the corner go west then north back into the tube. Go north then west then south then west then north then west into the room. Go west up the stairs go north slash the wall get the 'Golden Potion'. Go south then east into the tube go east then south then east into the room and get the treasures 'Mystic Potion' 'Battle Manicure' and 'Ogre Shoes'. Go back west then north then east go down the stairs and save at the SAVE POINT. Go south into the tube and follow along the path and prepare to fight! ############################################################################ Boss Fight XVII Valmar Magna (20,000) x2 Difficulty: Easy EXP 2400 G 6000 SC 200 MC 600 Items: Mystic Potion Special Attacks: Boom- minor damage; range Magna Boring; minor attack; single; move block/magic block You will probably win this battle easily. Even though it's 2 of them compared to the 1 you fought the last time. True Dragon Rise and Fast-Dance Whirl work wonders along with White Apocalypse and Sky Dragon Slash. There attacks aren't too dangerous and if you're levels are high enough you won't have to cure. Magic Bless anybody who gets 'Bored' so you can keep on fighting. Or you could reserve that person to be an item thrower just incase your SP runs low. ############################################################################ After the battle the door will open go into it to NEW VALMAR CORE. Go around to the bridge Ryudo will call out Zera. A voice will say that they have done well to get there but the earth tires of the weight of humans the Earth craves destruction. It says that they seek their own ruin the human soul can not exist without darkness. It will ask Ryudo how can he be content with his own God? It will ask Elena what does she believe in a Dead God or a Living one? It will ask Roan to serve him like his people did long ago. It will ask Tio to serve him to become complete. Serving him is the reason she was created. The voice says all this is pointless give him your heart. Ryudo says they don't need the power of a God. The voice wants to see their power a beam will flash and a monster will appear! ############################################################################ Boss Fight XVIII Valmar's Core (49,000) Left Head (35,000) Right Head (27,000?) Middle Head (32,000?) Difficulty: Very Hard Special Attacks: Snooze- sleep status; range Howl- wind attack; minor damage Destruction Light- major damage; enemy line Hammer Claw- minor damage; special Tremor- earth attack; minor damage; damage Burn Flame- Fire attack; minor damage; range Dead Claw- minor attack; single; move block Alhealer- minor healing; all Spellbinding Eye- Valmar attack; Magic/Move Block abilities; all Crackle- ice attack; medium damage; single Day of Judgement- Valmar attack; All element attack; major damage; all; -1 ATK Avenging Claw- Valmar Attack; major damage; single Burnstrike- Fire attack; single; medium damage Zap all- lightening attack; medium damage; all Howlslash- wind attack; enemy line; minor damage He's a hard one an extremely hard one! Here's 'that challenge' you wanted! Taking out his heads is useless and pointless. He has a command of all elements and it's a 4 on 4 battle. He will hammer you constantly will his claw attacks and destruction light. Answer back with your best attacks and focus on the core. It will cure itself from time to time but it's nothing to worry about. Your attack should be stronger than his ability to cure. You will have to cure often don't wait until someone's HP turns yellow. Anyway revive any dead members and un-Move Block anyone who gets Move Blocked. ############################################################################ After the battle Valmar can not believe their power. Ryudo explains that true hearts are pure and right. Valmar wants to see their heart. Millenia will appear and ask for Ryudo's Horns. She needs them to exist. Millenia will then shoot a beam at Ryudo. Elena can't believe that's Millenia. She says Millenia is being selfish the real Millenia learned to care for others and she wouldn't attack them. You will have to fight her here! ############################################################################ Boss Fight XIX Millenia (23,000) Difficulty: Easy EXP 0 G 0 SC 6000 MC 0 Items: Black Angel Bow Special Attacks: Fallen Wings: Valmar attack; all; medium damage Combo: two consecutive attacks; minor damage; single This battle will be slightly easier :) Cure and raise your HP and SP and MP immediately. Once you're in fighting condition hammer Millenia with your best specials. She's as slow as Ryudo you will have no trouble beating her IP bar. Fallen Wings is her only deadly attack and even that's at the end of the battle. Your HP should be high enough to take it without dying from it. ############################################################################ After the battle Elena realizes that Millenia was really an illusion. Elena says Millenia is no where and she and her are still one. She'll release Millenia, Millenia can't believe they fell for the fake. Millenia will praise Roan & Tio for making it this far. Zera can't believe they are still here, Ryudo will tell him it's over they will prevail. Zera goes on a lunacy trip about how man can't exist with Gods and if they don't want Gods then he doesn't want Man. The ground will eventually split & Roan & Tio will be trapped on the other side. They both believe in Ryudo and want him to go on without them. When you gain control go south and on to the colored thing. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% 2o. New Valmar Room of Chaos Character Levels: Ryudo 55-57; Elena 55-57; Millenia 55-57 Once you're inside equip Millenia and then Save at the SAVE POINT. Then go right to the ball you'll have to fight Valmar's Tongue! ############################################################################ Boss Fight XX Valmar's Tongue (27,000) Head (9000) Left Hand (18,000) Right hand (18,000) Difficulty: Medium EXP 6000 G 0 SC 8000 MC 1000 Items: Golden Potion Potion of Azure Indigo Potion Starlight Tiara Special Attacks: Burn- Fire attack; minor damage; range Spew Venom- Poison attack; minor damage; range Hellburner- Fire attack; medium damage; single Huge leap- minor attack; all; cancel Eat em' alive major attack; single; confusion Flamethrower- fire attack; medium damage; single Gluttony- major attack; range This battle is tougher than the first time you fought it. He has more attacks and he hits harder, The worst attack is Gluttony in my opinion, it's harder than Eat em' alive which is also a devastating attack. You’ll have to cure often and sense this guy out numbers you, you better hope your all hitting specials knock some of his parts off. The battle gets easier near end especially when the tongue is the only thing left. ############################################################################ Go back to the SAVE POINT to save & recover. Then return to the place you fought Valmar's tongue. Go up right to the ball and then you will have to fight Valmar's Eye! ############################################################################ Boss Fight XXI Valmar's Eye (20,000) Left Tendril (20,000) Right Tendril (20,000) Eyeball Bat (20,000) x4 Difficulty: Medium EXP 6000 G 0 SC 8000 MC 1000 Items: Queen Heels Potion of Azure Mystic Potion Indigo Potion Special Attacks: Seed of Sleep- Sleep status; range Runner- Mov +1; all Seed of Poison- poison status; range Delta Burst- medium attack; single The old strategy doesn't apply here either. So you're stuck 7-3 for most of the battle. It doesn't have any new attacks so that's a plus and this battle is a bit easier. You can't single out an eyeball it's a waste of time since it has the same HP as the Eye itself. Use all Hitting spells to keep it at bay and throw in the immediate cancelers like Tenseiken Slash. You will need to cure often and don't worry about the status they don't do much. ############################################################################ After the battle return to the SAVE POINT to save & recover. Go back to where you fought Valmar's Eye and go right then prepare to fight Valmar's Heart! ############################################################################ Boss Fight XXII Valmar's Heart (25,000) Left Eye (16000) Right Eye (16,000) Difficulty: Easy EXP 6000 G 0 SC 8000 MC 1000 Items: Tenma's Dress Potion of Azure Mystic Potion Special Attacks: Speedy- Raise Act +1; single Def-Loss- Lowers Defense -1; All The easiest of the Valmar Pieces, none of his status changing attacks should you worry about. In 3 rounds with your best specials the Eye's will be gone. Continue ruthless attacking and cure the P's if necessary when necessary. You can use the same strategy you did the last time, and this battle seems easier since it's an even 3 on 3. ############################################################################ After the battle return to the SAVE POINT to save & recover. Then return to where you fought Valmar's Heart. Go right and use the ball Zera will be there. He says it's time to accept the fate of a God. Elena says he should try to understand the human heart, Zera cares not about the heart. Ryudo says Zera is still human he has a weak heart he could never be a God. Zera says he's not human he is a God and he will show you the power of one! This is it Final Battle! ############################################################################ Final Fight Zera Valmar (36,000) Difficulty: Medium Special Attacks Ba-Boom!- Major attack; all GadZap- lightening attack; Medium damage; single; can paralyze This guy's a joke right? You have the advantage here his Ba-Boom! Is a poor man's Ba-Boom! Compared to the Demons. Two of them and you will need to cure though. Waste all your crap for curing your P's there's no reason to hold back. However you might not need to resort to drastic measures in this battle. My top 3 Specials were knocking off about 15,000 HP in succession. Even if the battles takes longer it's pretty impossible to lose unless you're levels are ridiculously low. ############################################################################ That's all folks, enjoy the ending. Be sure to check out the epilogue as well it's pretty cool despite what others think. If you beat the game and start a new one you will get different items in different places! Game Time Completion for FAQ: 60:19:42 Game Time Completion for Leisure: 27:48:18 That’s a Dy$e Guarantee. @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ E N D O F W A L K T H R O U G H @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ ***************************************************************************** V: FAQ Q1. What's the difference between the Dreamcast ver. and the PS2 ver.? A1. As far as I know there’s few. Certain things aren't as smooth as they are on the Dreamcast version. Slowdowns during certain parts of the game and transparency problems during certain spells and on certain screens plague the PS2 Version. However most of these will go unnoticed by the average player. The gameplay is the same so don't worry, I'm sure this is guide is compatible with the Ps2 version. ----- Q2: I don't have all the books or eggs! Where are they! A2: Here are your 2 semi hidden books and eggs. Book of War: Go through the Hut of Trials in Nanan 5 times Fairy Egg: After you gain access to Cyrum Kingdom, South go to Raul Hills. Return to the 'Maze Area' and you will have to fight 'Demon's who are have an incredible magic attack Ba-Boom. Defeat them all and go back to the ladder in the beginning of the Maze area. Climb it and receiver the Fairy Egg. BobmanX: Its called the book of sages both that and the dragon egg are in a black box in the birth place of the gods ----- Q3: How do I defeat the Demon's in Raul Hills Special Stage?!? A3: First, your levels should be high like mine well at least 45 for each character. Second White Apocalypse and Sky Dragon Slash have to be maxed out, Tornado should be maxed out. Anyway DO NOT RUN FROM THEM. If they surprise you, you might as well give it Ba-Boom will kill you. Walk slowly make sure there is nothing behind you and when you see one, rotate the camera to get a good look and run right at it. They are fast you might surprise them or at least it will be an even battle. Make sure you have something that increase your IP, because they have decent IP. ----- Q4: [Insert Boss here is undefeatable!] what should I do? A4: No boss is undefeatable, I tried my best to give you a strategy to defeat all the bosses. If you can't defeat then it is because of the following reasons. 1. You don't have the best equipment available to you. This is a key if you decide armor isn't necessary then it's going to come back to haunt you. Armor is important Defense is important, Accessories are important. 2. You don't have sufficient accessories. Why use a charm that makes you immune to sleep and confusion when the boss doesn't use either spell. Check what accessories you do have and make adjustments. It's best to remove accessories that give you extra combo chances in boss fights because you probably won't use to many combo attacks to begin with. 3. Your levels are not high enough. Character levels aren't as important here as in other RPG's but it's good to have somewhat decent levels to fight any boss. 4. You're not utilizing your skill books. The most important skill in the book is Life UP in my opinion. With more HP you can last longer whenever you get a book that has that skill in it, it would be to your advantage to improve that skill immediately. 5. You're not utilizing your Mana Eggs. What's the reason to equip a good egg to a character that has good specials? Save the good eggs for the characters that aren't as strong so they can use the magic. It always hurts when you have your healing spells on someone like Ryudo who you need to do the brunt of damage. You should equip those characters with eggs but the best ones should go to characters like Elena and Tio. 6. If you run from most battles because you just want to get out of the dungeon it will come back and haunt you. By defeating the enemies you get valuable SC MC G and EXP. If you are having a difficult time with the enemies then I suggest you return to the Inn if there is one near Recover and then go in and out of the dungeon fighting enemies with your best spells and specials. Then go back to the inn and recover your SP and MP until you gain a level or 2. ----- Q5. How come I can't find half the weapons and armor you listed? A5. Most of the weapons and armor I listed was found in dungeons, you have to explore a dungeon every corner and find all that you can. Most of the time a weapon or armor I find in the dungeon is stronger than ones that I find in the next town. ----- Q6. Should I stock pile a lot of SC and MC until the end of the game and then use it all? A6. No that would be _VERY_ stupid! I save SC and MC until I have about 1000(early in the game) or 2000-3500(later in the game). There's no reason to save higher than that and use most of it on what you really need to use it on. ----- Q7. Should I try to learn every spell every move and every skill? A7. No, there are a lot of skills you will find useless. I made the same mistake playing this game wanting to learn everything; it's a waste of time. Just learn the stuff you think you will need by their description. Most Specials are useless so only learn the ones that sound good to you. Most skills are useless even the hidden skills aren't very good. Magic is different to give really good attack spells you'll have to know preliminary spells. Just use MC on them until something good opens up and then forget about them. ----- Q8. How come this game is so short? Q8. It's not short. Granted this game can be blown through in like 27 hours but that's not recommended. Talking to people in town is optional in this game that's why it’s shorter. Your experience playing Grandia II will be much more rewarding if you take time out to talk to everyone instead of just going to the key place. ----- Q9. I played the original Grandia should I get this one? A9. Yes, at first I didn't like this quite as much as the original but like the original it grew on me. This is a very good game and I would suggest anyone who likes RPG's to get it. ----- Q10. Does this game have a VMU mini game? A10. With Carro you would think it would but it doesn't. ----- Q11. Do people really ask you these questions? A11: No, it's more of a resource for me if people ever do :) ***************************************************************************** VI: Weapons & Armor Lists One armor and 2 weapons were fount by Lord God Bahamut WEAPONS SWORD .~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~.
