About this document:
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
--I will give you points as to what to do, not every last detail, in giant
paragraphs of text. Hopefully by this point you know this is a spoiler free
walkthrough, so I won't ruin the game by summarizing the cutscenes, (a note
will be made of a cutscene most of the time).
NOT COVERED IN THIS GUIDE
--I don't intend to cover these two parts of the game, there are several
excellent in-depth guides on them at GameFAQs.
-Discoveries
-Strategies for the optional Bounty Fights

Before we start...

(Press Ctrl+F and type in keywords to jump around)
--First for the obsessive-compulsive Roleplaying gamers, you are probably
wondering if there is anything in the game that can be easily missed and that
you can't go back later to get. Yes, only certain treasure chests, they are
all accounted for in this guide, so you may want to look out for those.
--Also I think we should get this out of the way. Your weapon can be given an
attribute by pressing 'Y'. You start with red and green, look at the chart and
the next note to determine what attribute is best to use against an enemy.
--You can determine an enemy's attribute by the color of the box around their
picture when you select 'attack'; certain colors (blue and green) are hard to
tell apart.
|Red| is effective against |Green|
|Blue| is effective against |Red|
|Purple| is effective against |Blue|
|Green| is effective against |Purple|
|Yellow| is effective against |Blue|
|Green| is effective against |Yellow|
|Red| & |Purple| are equally effective against each other
|Silver| & |Yellow| are equally effective against each other
--As you progress through the game you will have to make choices, they can
raise your Swashbuckler Rating. Running away from random battles lowers it, if
you run enough, that's the only way you can become Vyse the Cowardly is by
running a lot at the begining of the game. There are also special rankings
that require certain things to achieve them. Note that Bounty King is second
highest and the easiest to get so I didn't know how to get the other lower
special rankings; so this info is mainly from the message boards. This info
shouldn't spoil anything since you can read about some of it on the back of
your game box.
Cowardly
Unimpressive
Blue Rogue
Competent
Determined
Respected
Admirable
Bold
Valiant
Daring
Dashing
Fearless
Hero
King of Rogues
---The Fallen Pirate---
At a certain point in the game you get this ranking, and have to complete a
wanted battle to get it to go away. (It's not a good thing to be the Fallen
Pirate obviously)
---Charismatic---
Must recruit all crew members with the prerequisite before you talk to them.
---Extravagant---
Must have 1,000,000 gold, along with some various ship items you find
throughout the game.
---Battle Lord---
Must kill 2500 enemies total.
---Sky Battle King---
Kill the four monsters that roam the skies, and win 12 normal ship battles.
---Fisher King---
You have to catch a lot of fish
---Exploration King---
Find all the discoveries, and get at least 90% of the treasure chests.
---The Bounty King---
Must complete all wanted battles.
---The Legend---
You have to literally do everything in the game and get 100% of all the
treasure chests.

Valuan Battleship

~~OPENING CUTSCENE~~
--First battle! Just use basic attacks until they go down.
--Grab the chest directly in front of you, take the door out of the room.
--Go down the next hallway and through the next door.
~~CUTSCENE~~
--Second random battle use the same tactics as before, easy.
--Note that there are now random battles in this dungeon, unlike in dreamcast.
--Go to your left to find Sacri Crystal x 2.
--Make your ways to the stairs at the top of the room.  After crossing the
first catwalk after the stairs, head right to pick up 50 Gold.
--Head through the door *the guy* left through.
--In the next room, open the chest for Magic Droplet x 2, and save/heal at the
save point.
--Go through the hall to the right past the save point, down the ladder in the
door.
~~CUTSCENE~~
~~TIP~~
When in battle use healing items (ie. sacri crystals) to heal, and when out of
battle use magic, healing-magic depletes your invaluable SP quite a bit, and
at the beginning of the game you simply can't waste SP.
~~TIP~~
BOSS: Antonio (HP 575-600)
+165Gold +Moonberry
--This boss is somewhat difficult (for a first boss anyway), change Vyse's
cutlass to green, Aika's boomerang to red (press 'Y' to change weapon
attributes). The best strategy is to guard until you have 7SP, and then use
Vyse's Cutlass Fury Special Move (Press 'Start' to skip S-Move animation). His
(Antonio's) attacks do a fair ammount of damage and Thunder of Fury can do
around 200 damage, that's why you should guard until you can use C-F, or if
you have to use a healing item. You will have to do several C-F's, when it's
HP gets lower it lets up on the Thunder of Fury's and starts using 'Assesing
Damage', but still be cautious.
~~CUTSCENE~~
--You are now confronted with your first decision as petty as it is :p
Choose this-> That's a great name  Try and save everyone!  Retreat  Beat
around the bush Let's sneak into the coliseum!Never!  Leave everything to us!  That sounds
like a great idea!  Hehe. Okay I'll stop staring  We'll do it!  You mean, attack Belleza's
ship right?  We have important information
