ABOUT THIS FAQ/GAME
-------------------
This is the first FAQ that I have written and it will probably be the
only one. Writing one really takes alot of time! :) But I will definitely update the
FAQ when I have new information. Please e-mail me if you wish to provide stuff that I
missed out in the FAQ or if you want to comment on it or how I can improve it.
Lufia: The Legend Returns is the third game in the Lufia series. The first
one is Lufia and the Fortress of Doom while the second is Lufia 2: The Rise of the
Sinistrals. By storyline, Lufia 2 is the first, followed by Lufia, and finally this one.
I have played Lufia 2 before but not the original Lufia. Comparing Lufia 2 with this
game, I have to say that many things have changed. The systems in the game have changed
drastically, especially the IP system. Lufia 2 is a good game, possibly better than
Lufia: TLR, but this is my own opinion. Try playing Lufia 2 if you have not yet, and
make your own judgement.
This FAQ is not yet complete. There is much to be filled in. The monster
list is not yet complete, there are a few monsters that I have trouble getting
information
on. So please bear with it for the meantime. The section on the Ancient Cave is rather
sketchy too, as I have not explored it thoroughly. I also plan to add a Spells Section
in the next update. I promise I will make the FAQ better than now, so drop me a note if
you want to tell me how I can improve it, I will appreciate it very much! :)
Hope this FAQ will help you in someway! ^_^

========
GAMEPLAY
========
SPIRITUAL FORCE (a.k.a  S.F.)
-----------------------------
Spiritual force is the innate ability of a character. It will affect
the stats of that character. Every character has his or her own type of S.F. There
are 4 different types of S.F.:
RED: Increases attack power(ATP)
BLUE: Increases magic attributes(MAP and REG)
GREEN: Increases defense and HP (DFP and HP)
YELLOW: Increases speed and MP (SPD and MP)
S.F. will flow in a certain way that is explained in the fighting layout section.
You can increase S.F. by going to the Ancient Text section in the menu and using
LP (learning points). The amount of LP needed is the square of the present S.F.
number.
Example:
Wein has 5 RED S.F.
So his ATP increases by 5
Amount of LP needed to increase to 6: 5x5=25
ANCIENT TEXT
------------
Ancient text can be found throughout dungeons in the game. Once
you use it, it is gone. So there are infinite copies of Ancient Texts that can
be found in dungeons. Every dungeon will have its own Texts. You can check item
shops in nearby towns for information. After teaching a character an Ancient
Text, it will become an IP. All characters come with their own IPs, some unique
and cannot be found. All Ancient Texts require a certain amount of S.F to be
learnt.
IP
--
It is a skill that a character has. When you use IPs, your IP
meter will be drained. Your IP meter is the bottom meter when you enter battles.
The IP meter increases when you are hit, even if the attack misses. The amount
of IP increased depends on how much damage is dealt to you, compared to your
character's original HP. Every IP uses a certain amount of your IP meter. If the
character has the S.F. that was required to learn the IP, the IP required will
be its normal. If the character does not(due to changes in positions), the IP
required will be more.
MAGIC
-----
Magic can be learnt at churches in towns throughout the world.
It takes fixed amounts of LP to learn magic and fixed amounts of MP to use it.
There are also different elements of magic, with monsters being weak against
certain types. Magic can also be used to travel, like Warp.
SAVING THE GAME
---------------
You can only save the game at save point or church. The Save Log
function is NOT a save game. After you load it, the log will disappear. As
such, it is easy to lose a log. The log is only to make stopping the game
easier when you are in a dungeon or the Ancient Cave. So try to save properly
as much as you can. And save in multiple slots too, there have been many cases
of people losing their save slots due to glitches.
===============
FIGHTING LAYOUT
===============
BATTLES AND POSITIONING
-----------------------
In battles, S.F. flows in a particular way. You may not see the
importance of it yet as you only start with two characters at the beginning. But
later on in the game, when you begin to have more characters, positioning becomes
more important. The positioning matrix looks like this:
[1] [2] [3] => 1st row
[4] [5] [6] => 2nd row
[7] [8] [9] => 3rd row
Characters in the 1st row deal the most damage, but also receive the most.
Likewise, characters in the 3rd row deal the most damage, but also receive the
least. Should the characters at the front of the columns be killed in the same
round, you will lose the battle. For example, in the case above, if characters
1, 2 and 3 are killed, you will lose the battle. But if everyone is dead except
characters 5 and 9, if they are killed, you will lose the battle.
There are times when you catch a monster by surprise and get to have a free round
of attacks. You will see this when you get a "Pre-emptive Strike!" message at the
start of the battle. You can get this message if you attack a monster from the
side or back. This is where the Wave comes in handy as it can stun monsters so
that you can sneak up beside it before it can move.
There are also times when you are caught off guard by monsters. A "Surprise
Attack!" message will appear and monsters will get a free round of attacks instead.
When you are attacked off-guard, the positioning will also change. The order could
be reversed such that the last row becomes the first instead, endangering your
party as the weaker characters are now at the front(if you put your weaker
characters at the back). So avoid being attacked from the side or behind!
S.F. FLOW
---------
Example
Matrix:
[1=    4 Red]  [2= 5 Green]  [3= 3 Yellow]
[4=   1 Blue]  [5=   3 Red]  [6=  7 Green]
[7= 5 Yellow]  [8=  5 Blue]  [9=    6 Red]
Basically, a character will get the benefits of the S.F. of characters that are
in a straight line to them, no matter which direction.
Character 1: 4 Red, 5 Green, 1 Blue and (3+5) Yellow
Stat Bonuses: +4ATP, +5DFP/HP, +1MAP/REG, +8SPD/MP
2: 5 Green, 3 Yellow, (4+3) Red, 5 Blue
4: 1 Blue, 5 Yellow, (4+3) Red, 7 Green
5: 3 Red, (5+7) Green, (1+5) Blue
and so on...
The way you want your S.F. to flow very much depends on who you want to boost
and what kind of a team you wish to form. If you want to strengthen your party's
Magic Defense(REG), you can place characters with Blue S.F. in central positions
such as 5. If you want an all rounded team, for example, you can surround a
character weak in DFP with characters with Green S.F. There is no fixed way to
arrange your party.
==============
2) WALKTHROUGH
==============
IMPORTANT! I must say first that I have neglected hidden items that I have
felt as insignificant, such as CharredNewts. I have deliberately
left them out, so that e-mail me saying that I have left out so
and so hidden item, unless it is a significant value.
EPSIS CONTINENT
===============
PATOS
Items: Hi-potion x2, Hi-magic, Revive, Life Seed, Dagger, Res Ring,
Dragon Egg
The game starts with a scene of Seela arriving. The first person she
meets turns out to be the hero of the game, you. After an introductory tussle
, Wain will leave, so pissed that he forgets what he was supposed to do.
Go right to Wain's house and get the Hi-Potion in the chest. Search the shelf
behind his bed for another Hi-Potion. Now leave the house and go right to the
item shop. Check the box on its left side for a Hi-Magic. Now, go to the back
of the item shop and enter it through the back door by searching the space to
the right of the rooftop. Take the Res Ring and Dragon Egg in the chests. Now
leave the shop and cross the bridge to the other side. Go left to the brown
house and go around it by the small path on the right side. Check the barrel
for a Life Seed. Make your way back and go right to Lamika's house. Take the
Dagger in the chest equip it on Wain. Leave the house and go up to the fountain.
Search it for a Revive. Now save your game in the church if you want, and teach
Wein Strong(it will come in use even though Seela will join you soon). Leave the
vllae-enter it, and you will see a scene of Gades, the Sinistral of
Destruction, coming back to life. A bolt is directed at Patos, and Lamika's
house is set on fire. This is followed by a long "rescue and recover" scene in
which Seela keeps on casting Strong on you (why can't she do it when she joins
you, huh? Its unfair!!).
After the formal introduction, without all the Bolt and evading stuff,
Seela joins you on your quest of the "Great Adventure" (which doesn't sound very
great). There is no need to buy any equipment now, as you will probably be
wasting your gold. So leave Patos and head north-west to the Patos Cave.
PATOS CAVE
Items: Potion, GoddessTear, Magic Pot, Boomerang, Wake Ring, Jet Ring, Miracle,
Antidote
Ibla will be waiting for you in the cave. Follow him right to enter the

[6F-10F]Silhouette, Pause Palm, Persuade, Fire Attack
Items: BoltBoomer

Before you can go deeper into the tower, Ibla catches up with you and
gives you "Drive". This is followed by an explanation of S.F. aka Spiritual
Force, which is very important in the game, so take heed of what he says, he
doesn't repeat it a second time. Now make your way through all 4 floors of the
tower and face Gades. It IS possible to defeat him, but you will need to have
a bit of luck and about 8-9 Hi-Bombs with you. See the bosses section on how
to defeat him. If you defeat him, you will receive the Gades Bracelet, and alot
of Skill points. Regardless of whether you defeat him or not, he will still
fry you and Wein will run away. Before you go, check the left side of the ruins,
near where Gades was standing for a Bolt Boomer. Now leave the Tower and head
west to Laphon Cave.
LAPHON CAVE
Ancient Scrolls: Investigate, Crackbuster
You will be warned by the second guard should you attempt to enter the
Laphon Cave dungeon as the monsters can easily kill you at your present level.
If you wish, you can still enter the dungeon to find some Scrolls before
leaving. After leaving Laphon Cave, head southwest across a bridge and enter
Albano.
ALBANO
Items: GoddessTear, Mind Seed, Skill Seed, Wisdom Seed, Miracle(3), Hi-Bomb
Go right to the house with the blue roof and check the two barrels at its
front for a GoddessTear. Now go up past the fountain and go left to the back of
the item shop. About 3 spaces from its right side, there is a secret door just
like the one in Patos. Enter and take the Awake and Sonic Ring in the chests.
Leave the item shop and go left to the crates and check them for a Miracle.
Continue on left past the entrance of a bridge to the leftmost flowerbed in the
corner. Check it for a Mind Seed. Now enter the house right below and check the
right side of the fireplace for a Miracle. After you have done your shopping or
saved your game, cross the bridge and enter Fugo's House.
When you walk along the main pathway, you will see Fugo chasing a thief
and a short brawl will ensue between Wein and the thief (looks like the first
time Dekar met Guy, if you haved played Lufia 2 before :) After the scene, enter
Fugo's house. Enter the room with many bookshelves and check the shelf second
from the right for a Miracle. Now go up to the 2nd floor and check the right part
of the crest in the center for a Hi-Bomb. Enter Etral's room, the room on the
left and search the brown table on the left for a Wisdom Seed. Now go to Fugo's
room and check the right part of the empty fireplace for a Skill Seed. Leave the
town and head west to Slani Cave.
SLANI CAVE
Ancient Scrolls: [B1-B5] Concentrate , Cooking, Holy Attack
[B6-B12] Pressure Pt.
Items: Gold 100, Revive, GoddessTear, Bomb
Make your way to B4 of the cave and follow the path till it forks straight
up and right. Take the path up to save your game and then follow the other fork.
You will meet Dei, the master thief. After another argument over Wein's brain
matter, Dei escapes and you will have to make your way out of the cave.(Actually,
Seela is just as "stupid") Go back north-east to Majari.
MAJARI
Ancient Scrolls: Dash Attack
Items: Angry Ring, Life Seed, Speed Seed, Body Seed, X-potion, Hi-Bomb
Take a walk around town and talk to the people around. Don't rest in the
inn yet! Enter the house in the bottom right hand corner chest. Then go to the
shelf beside the sink to find a Life Seed. Leave the house and search the well
outside for a Speed Seed. Now go up to the brown house. See the barrel on the
right side of the house? Check it out for a X-potion. Go further up to the 3
stumps. Check the rightmost stump for a Body Seed. Enter the house itself and
take the Angry Ring in the chest. And now here comes the cool part, move down to
the back of the Inn/Weapon shop and go to the square that is just to the right
of the pinnacle of the roof. Enter the back of the inn and take the Hi-Bomb in
the chest, then talk to the innkeeper for a free stay!
Save your game if you want to and try leaving the village. A monster comes
charging into the village and Kobin is hurt. Dei appears (where the heck did he
hide?!)and you team up to fight the Belumie. After you defeat the Belumie, Fugo
appears and shows his "gratitude" for all your trouble. Dei is captured and
Kobin tries to save him but entrusts you with the mission instead, giving you
"Dash Attack". Now leave Majari and go south back to Albano.
ALBANO
Items: Miracle, Bug Crush
Go all the way to Fugo's House and enter the room with many bookshelves
on the 1st floor. Check the 4th bookshelf from the left and a secret passageway
will be opened. Enter the passage and check the red statue on the left for a

the Belamie. After defeating it, check the gold piles for a Trick Ring, Gold
100 and High Magic. Open the chests for an X-Magic and X-potion. GO through
the gate and take the Life Seed in the chest before talking to Dei. Now leave
the dungeon. The moment you go through the bookshelf, you will be caught by the
librarian and your party will escape. Just as they are about to leave, Gades
appears again! It is possible to defeat him here also. If you manage to, you
will get the Gadesblade.
After the incident, you can talk to the carpenter in front of the
destroyed house for help in rebuilding Melissa's house in Pato. But he will not
be able to start work until you find a certain wood on the Lidal continent. If
you wish, you can also talk to Lurissa (the girl surrounded by flowers) in Majari
to rescue her father in Laphon Cave. You will get a Dragon Egg for your efforts.
Note: If you come back and talk to Etral after defeating Gades, you can get a
Dragon Egg.
BROFFO CAVE
Ancient Scrolls: Puzzle
DON'T enter the dungeon! I repeat again, DO NOT enter the dungeon! This is
no joke this time, the monsters are very strong and it is impossible to defeat
them now. Enter at your own risk! For now, just pass through the cave and go
north-west to Siantao. You will get a chance to bash up the monsters much later,
if you want to complete the ultimate sidequest, the Ancient Cave.

continue up past the ship and enter the brown house. Take the Small-Boomer in
the pail and go up to the 2nd floor. Check the cupboard for a X-Bomb and take
the X-Magic in the chest. Leave the house and go left to the small park. Search
the flowers at the end for a Speed Seed. Now go down to the back of the item shop
for another "backdoor" and take the Wisdom, Mind, Skill Seed and Poison Ring.
Enter the shop through its entrance and go to the bottom left hand corner for a
GoddessTear. Leave the shop and go down to the crate on the left of the inn and
search it for a Power Seed. Now save your game if you wish and go to the back of
the house you got the X-Bomb from.
You will meet the Garland gang threathening a girl. Before you can save her,
Aima appears and gets rid of them. After the introduction, a messenger will
appear and say that Leong Temple is on fire. After Aima leaves, check the barrel
on the right for a Hi-Potion and head north-east to Leong Temple.
LEONG TEMPLE
Items: ConfuPowder, Life Seed
The moment you enter, check the front of the left statue for ConfuPowder
and the side of the right statue for a Life Seed. Continue all the way up to the
Leong Temple. Aima will be standing inside the burnt temple. Talk to her and she
will join your party in order to rescue her master. Now head west to the Gang's
Hideout.
GANG'S HIDEOUT
Ancient Scrolls: Blind, Accurate, Seal Palm, Assassinate
Items: Fake Ring, Life Seed, Revive
Basements: 6
There will be two Garland Gang fighters guarding the entrance to the cave.
Note that these two enemies are stronger than the normal ones in the cave. They
should not be too much of a pain. Knock them out and enter the dungeon. The
monsters here are mainly the same as in Laphon Cave. After reaching the bottom,
turn right at the fork and take the items in the 3 chests. Save your game if you
wish and head back and up to the room to fight the Garland Boss, who is quite a
hard boss. After defeating him, you will get the Prison Key. Now leave the room
and head right to unlock the room that holds Aima's master. After a short reunion,
a quake will occur and Aima will suggest leaving the cave. Make your way out of
the dungeon and head back east to Siantao.
SIANTAO/LEONG TEMPLE
Ancient Scroll: Energy Punch
Items: HiPow Ring
When you enter the village, it has been destroyed completely. Seems like
THE pain in the ass is back again. Talk to him and your party will attempt to
fight him again but this time you don't even get to go to battle. A tragic
confrontation ensues between Aima's Master and Gades. After Aima buries her
master at Leong temple, she will formally join you and you will get the A.S.
"Energy Punch". Check the master's grave for a HiPow Ring. Now head all the way
back south to the Tower of Death.
TOWER OF DEATH
Ancient Scrolls: [1F-5F] Drive, Head Crush, First Aid, Bolt Attack
[6F-10F]Silhouette, Pause Palm, Persuade, Fire Attack
Items: Coldrapier
Levels: 10
Go up past to the 4th floor and past the ruins, where you could not
enter before. Take the Coldrapier in the chest. Go further into the tower and
past the 10th floor. Continue up until you reach the healing point and save point.
Save your game and enter the room to fight Gades for the third time. This time is
not a rehearsal like the previous two, its a real do-or-die battle! Good thing is
that Gades is much weaker here than before (or that you are stronger :) so you
should be able to defeat him quite easily. After defeating him alas(yay!), cast
escape to get out of the tower and head north back to Siantao.
Note: You can go back to Albano now and talk to Etral in Fugo's mansion to get
a Dragon Egg.
LIDAL CONTINENT
===============
SIANTAO/CAAN
Items: Body Seed, Unded Ring
Go towards the jetty and talk to the captain to sail to Lidal continent.
You will arrive in Caan, the port city of Lidal. Head up and enter the house
above and check the bookshelf behind the bed for a Body Seed. Go further up
and around the back of the item shop. Search it for the usual backdoor and take
the Unded Ring and Iceboomer in the chests. You can also talk to the shopkeeper
to buy different things if you go by the backdoor, but they are pretty useless.
Leave the shop and head right past the inn to the house in the right-hand corner.
Enter the house and take the Mind Seed at the stove. Open the chest for a Miracle.
Now exit the house and check the crates on its right side for a Dragon Fang.
DO NOT use the inn the normal way, it costs 200G! Try going through its backdoor...
When you have done all that you need to do, try exiting Caan. An old knight
will appear, wounded, and mumbling about saving the Princess. Before you can
stop him, he rushes out again. Leave Caan and head northeast to the Deserted
Lighthouse.
DESERTED LH
Ancient Scrolls: F. Barrier, Dark Sword, Scatter Hit, Cure
Items: Ghost Ring, Revive
Levels: 11
When you enter, fight your way up to level 6. There you will meet the
old warrior that you saw in Caan. Fight the TowerSnake and Randolph will join
you. Continue and make your way up further to the top level. Check the two rooms
on the left and right side for a Revive and Ghost Ring. There are also save
points and heal points in the rooms. Go to the centre platform and you will see
the Princess Melphis fighting the DevilGrome. After joining her and defeating
the grome, the princess will be introduced to your party and she will join you.
Now head south-east to Tomis Cave.
TOMIS CAVE
Ancient Scrolls: Force Shield
Items: Jump Ring
Basements: 7
Go straight to the dungeon itself and go right for the exit. Once again,
you will be warned of going into the cave as the monsters are strong. This time,
they are not as strong as in the Broffo Cave. Still, enter at your own risk! If
you do manage to survive, you should be able to gain in levels quite a bit. When
you get to the bottom, you will find a chest containing the Jump Ring, which
increases your speed by 50. Actually, this cave is part of the Cat Ring subquest.
You can try the sub-quest by talking to Rudo in the house you first enter in Caan.
If you do not wish to enter, just leave the cave and come back later on. After
exiting the cave, head south-east to the port town of Tomis. Note that you might
see a bridge to the east of Tomis. This bridge will lead to the Copley Forest,
which you cannot enter as yet.
TOMIS
Items: X-potion, Wisdom Seed, Lucky Erng, Sanity Rng
Talk to the lady when you first enter the town. She will tell you what
is happening in Tomis and about the pirates. Now enter the inn right above and
take the X-potion in the chest. Go round the back of the inn and search the lone
crate in the left corner for a Wisdom Seed. Now head down towards the back of
the item shop. As usual, there is a backdoor. Enter and take the Lucky Erng and
Sanity Rng. After you have done saving ,resting and learning magic(Absorb is
THE spell! Be sure to teach it to Seena and Melphis), head to the house in the
center and talk to the lady. Buy the ferry ticket and head for the dock. Enroute
to the next continent, pirates will attack you.
After Wein is insulted yet again -_- , Aima will display her skills (boo
to the crybaby!) on the pirates. After the guards are take care of, you will be
free to move.
SHIP/PIRATE SHIP
Ancient Scrolls: Charge, DoubleKick, Ice Attack, Split Attk
Items: BoltBoomer, Life Seed, Power Seed, Chill Ring
Basements: 5
First, check out the room behind you, on your own ship. There will be a
healing point. Search the cupboard beside the bed for a Life Seed. Now cross the
plank and enter the room on the pirate ship. Check the stack of crates for a
BoltBoomer and take the Revive in the chest. Now go down the stairs to the
dungeon itself. Make your way through the dungeon and you will eventually reach
a cabin. Enter the room and take the Wisdom Seed and Chill Ring in the chests.
There is also a Skill Seed in the leftmost shelf. You can also use the bed in
the upper right corner if you wish to heal yourself. Now head back to the
corridor and carry on. Check the left barrel of the two barrels on the way for a
Power Seed. In the pirate's room, there is also a Dragon Fang in the barrels on
the left.
After you defeat the Pirate Head, leave the dungeon. Just as you are crossing
the plank to the other ship, another ship will come rushing at you. Meet
Deckard, the good pirate. After the pirate ship is sliced into half, you will
return to Tomis(safely :).

Items: Potion, X-potion x2, GoddessTear, Speed Seed, Wisdom Seed, Giant Ring,
Wizrd Ring, Miracle, Wing Ring, Skill Seed, Smart Ring, Dragon Egg
Basements: 14
Head to the ticket house and talk to the small boy Keit. He will
promise to lead you to the pirates' hideout. Now take a trip on the ferry once
again and you will head to Pirate Island.
After you land on the beaches, head left and take the Giant Ring in the
chest. Now head to the other end at the left and take the Speed Seed. Enter the
dungeon itself. Most of the enemies here are similar to the ones in the Pirate
Ship, except for a few exceptions. When you reach the first bottom, go all the
way to the right first. Ignore the room that you will pass. Enter the room at
the end and take the X-potion and Potion in chest. Now enter the room with the
savepoint that you passed at first. You will be caught in a trap. After a short
scene with the Pirate Boss, he will leave with Melphis and you will fight the
Alligator.
After you defeat the wimp, the pirate guards will escape and you will
be free to move again. Leave through where the Aligator came from, and enter
the teleporter. You will end up in the place where you fell for the trap
earlier. Take the Dragon Egg, Miracle and Wing Ring. Now go back to the room
with the cage. Make a round about the cage and go out to the corridor. Go left
and take the GoddessTear in the barrel. Enter the room above and take the
Wisdom Seed, Revive and Wizrd Ring.
Jump down the hole to go back to the enclosure once more. Make your
way to the corridor and take the right fork now. Go down the stairs and go
further through the dungeon until you reach the bottom B15. Follow the path
and you will end up the Pirate Boss' room. To the left, there is a Hi-potion in
the barrel beside the crates. To the right, there is a Skill Seed in the
barrels. Finally, step onto the platform and face the Pirate Boss. After you
defeat him, take the Smart Rng and X-potion in the chests before making your
way into the teleporter. You will be transported out of the cave. Talk to the
fallen Keit and you will set off on a chase for the Pirate Boss. Deckard will
come to help once again and he will join you in the final showdown with the Big
Squido. After defeating the Big Squido, the Pirate Boss will finally be defeated.
The ship will then make its way back to Tomis.
After you leave Tomis, make your way east across the bridge and enter
Copley Forest.
COPLEY FOREST
Ancient Scrolls: TyphoonToss, Stealth Hit
Items: Good Wood
Stages: 8
After you have gone through about 4 stages of the dungeon, you will
find that you are caught in some form of maze. After several times of walking
through the same place, Seena will get fustrated and quarrel with Wein. She
will leave and you will have to proceed without her. After going through the
dungeon, you will meet up with Seela and the forest spirit Mousse who will join
your party.(while Wein goes for a spin :) Before you leave Copley Forest, check
the big tree in the clearing to get the Good Wood. Now head north to Cobe.
At this point, you can warp back to Patos and hand the Good Wood to
Grantz for rebuilding Lamika's house. She will give you a Dragon Egg in return.
Enter the newly rebuilt house and take the Miracle in the chest before warping
back to Cobe.
COBE
Items: X-magic, Power Seed, Speed Seed, Weird Ring, Wizrd Ring
Enter the item shop/inn and go to where the beds are. Check the bottom

second floor and check the armor in the lower left corner for a X-magic. Now
leave the shop and go around the back and search for the hidden backdoor. Take
the Wizrd Ring in the chest. Also, go down and right to the well to get Power
Seed. You might want to teach Melphis Champion X, as the spell will be of great
use in future, even though it takes a whopping 1500 LP. When you are ready,
leave Cobe and head towards the Tower of Illusion.

Cobe.
COBE
Go to the wharf and talk to Nicky. After debating with him, he finally
volunteers to ship your party to Alstadt kingdom. When you are confronted by a
battleship, Deckard emerges once more but he refuses to help. But when the
battleship comes alongside your ship, Deckard jumps to your boat to fight

After you enter Alstadt, go down and left into a room like a weapon
storehouse. At the far upper right corner behind the cannon, there is a Life
Seed. The guard will also sell weapons to you. Now head left and you will meet
a priest who also acts as a inn. Now enter the dungeon. The monsters in the
dungeon are pretty fast, even faster than Dei. You have to go up in this dungeon,
instead of going down as per normal. When you reach the top, check the painting
for a Big Boomer. Go down and check the flower emblem for a Boltboomer. Exit
through the opening and go left to the painting beside the plant for a Wisdom
Seed. Now enter the passage between the plants to the crosspaths. Enter the left
room and check the center bookshelf for a Miracle. Go to the right and search
the right wall candlestick for a GoddessTear. Take the Mind Seed, Prtec Ring and
Revive in the chests. Straight ahead will be a church. If you want, there is a
Hi-potion at the right trees when you just exit the castle.
Now go up the stairs and check the mirror for a Hi-bomb. Melphis' room
is on the right and you can use the bed to rest there. There is also a Mind Seed
at the fireplace. In the left room, there are 4 chests containing GoddessTear,
Miracle, Sanity Rng and Witch Ring. When you are ready, enter the center room
to fight Deraf. After you defeat him, search the throne for a Crown. Go straight
ahead until you reach Deraf once more. You will have to fight the Ultra Weapon.
After the weapon goes down, a man clad in golden armor will appear. Meet Amon,
the Sinistral of Chaos, the one who turned Deraf evil. After Amon leaves, take
the Skill Seed and GoddessTear in the two chests and leave the castle.
Go left and up to the upper right corner. Check the castle wall for
a Body Seed. Leave through the main entrance. As you are leaving the kingdom,
check the front of the two cannons outside to get 2 X-bombs. Now head back east
to the Tower of Illusion.

Make your way past where you fought General Gohl before and head
further up into the tower. The monsters on the higher levels are strong, so be
careful! The Medusas can easily confuse or paralyze all your characters and
the High Hydras do alot of damage too. When you reach the top dais, you will
fight Amon, the second Sinistral. After you defeat Amon, leave the tower and
head back to Alstadt Kingdom.
ALSTADT KINGDOM
When you enter the kingdom, go to the bridge leading to the castle.
Amon will appear once again and attempt to create chaos once more before he
dies. After the scene, Deckard's real identity will be revealed. You will now
be able to use Deckard's boat and can access places like the Ancient Cave. But
you will be unable to enter most of the other dungeons in the other 2
continents, so head east to Elcoranos on Fante Continent.
FANTE CONTINENT

ELCORANOS
Items: GoddessTear, X-magic x3, Miracle, Power Seed, Dragn Ring
Head right from the entrance into the inn and take the GoddessTear in
the barrel. As usual, there is a backdoor that will allow you to use the inn
for free. Make your way around the back of the inn and check the barrel for a
X-magic. Enter the house above and check the single shelf in the room for
another X-magic. Also, check the chest for yet another X-magic. Leave and go
left and down and enter the item shop through its backdoor. Take the Power Seed
and Dragn Ring in the chests. Leave the shop and go round the front. Check the
crates on the left for a Miracle. Talk to the soldier at the fountain and leave
the town. Head east to Mistra Cave.

Go to the fountain and talk to Conas. He will attempt to confess his
love for Karinas. But before he can do so, the mother of the Ancient Dragon
appears (you weren't thinking that it was going to be that easy, were you :)
This battle is like the first and second battle with Gades, whether you win or
not does not matter. If you do win, the dragon will drop a Dragon Scale armor,
which has high magic protection. Whether you defeat the dragon or not, a
mystery man will appear and finish it off. He is Daos, the Sinistral of Doom,
the leader of all the Sinistrals. He will kill Conas and the entire party will
be shocked by the power of Daos. After seeing your strongest foe so far, head
back to Mistra cave and continue south to Redwood.

is at the left corner, and there are useful spells such as Sleep and Mirror
that you can learn. Now enter the Casino in the centre of town. You will meet
the expert gambler Ruby for the first time. After the scene with Tak, go to the
upper right corner and take the X-magic in the chest. On the second floor is
the registration for the Monster Track and on the third floor is the item shop.
Register for the Monster Track and go down to first floor again. Check the area
on the table to the left of Tak for a Luck Blade. Leave the casino and head to
the inn to rest.

room and you will meet Ruby once again. After the brief tussle with Tak, you
will fight the Big Mouth with Ruby. After the battle, Ruby will be introduced
to the team and Wein will...(as usual, insults :) Before leaving the cave, go
to the left and take the Speed Seed in the chest. Warp back to Redwood and go
to the second floor of the casino and talk to the Monster Track organiser,
Leydock. He will invite you to his mansion.

rooms. Take the GoddessTear in the chest and check the cupboard in the other
room for a Hi-magic. Now go back to the second floor and talk to Leydock, he
will prepare a sumptous feast for your party. All of the members except Dei
will eat the food, which turns out to be drugged. (Talk about being destined
to fight Sinistrals, even Wein needs Dei to rescue him:)
You will end up in the Leydock mansion dungeon. Save your game and
heal if you wish. Now head right along the pathway. Check the crest on the way
for a GoddessTear. Continue till you enter the room with the soldier and enter
the dungeon itself. Try to avoid fighting as it is not worth it with only Dei
and Wein. When you reach B5, go up at the first path you see. take the
FireBoomer and Mind Seed. Continue all the way left and down to a room and
take the Hi-magic and X-potion in the chests. Now go back up and enter the
centre room. You will discover the horrible purpose of Leydock and its really
gross. x(
After you defeat Leydock, check the second "statue" from the right
for a Miracle. Leave the mansion and head east and north to Tanba.
NOTE: It is possible now to try the Egg Dragon subquest as you can now access
all the Dragon Eggs. But it will be rather inconvenient. I would
recommend waiting until after the Tower of Sorrow, when you get a better
form of transport.

on the right. Go to the left corner and check the side of the church for a
GoddessTear. After you have finished your business, head north into Tanba cave.
TANBA CAVE
Ancient Scrolls: Chaff, Shadow Hit
Presently, the dungeon in the cave is too hard for your party
(unless you have spent time in the Ancient Cave and have the Legendary Weapons
with you). The monsters in the cave are those of the last dungeon, such as
Lucifer. The stuff at the bottom is useful only if you are trying the Egg
Dragon subquest. So just go right and head for the Tower of Sorrow for now.

Head towards the town square and you will see the wedding between
Jan and Sammi. But halfway through, an uninvited guest appears and the entire
wedding results in a tragedy. You will fight Daos again, with him ending the
battle in 3 rounds as before. (aargh! why can't he just fight!!) After Jan is
buried, check his grave for a Engag Ring. (why would a wedding ring be able to
bargain with merchants?!) Leave the town and head northwest to Mologoro.
Note: As in the Tower, you can kill him before he ends the battle. If you do,
you will get a very cool piece of equipment...

to Tanba. You can go back to the bottom of Gologolo cave as there are items
that can be found. There is a Revive in the hole under the digging machine and
there is also a Miracle inside the lava where the Fire Dragon came out from.

Demons as they are difficult to kill. If you have the Jump Ring, equip it on
Wein to kill the Demons easier. When you reach L10, go straight up and take the
Miracle in the chest. Now go down to the junction and head all the way right and
down and take the X-magic. Also, go up and take the GoddessTear in the other
chest. If you wish to beat Daos later on, you should have the Red Beret and
Unded Ring to make things easier. You should also have a strong weapon for Wein,
such as the Alum Blade or Maxim Blade. So de-equip them from whoever is using it.
Now enter the centre room where the Floatium is. Seena and Wein will be sucked
into the Floatium and stranded in the Tower of Sorrow.

rest of the party will come to your rescue. You can now use the airship, which
is the fastest form of transport. You can also access Rosplett Continent and
the Al Cave in the center of the map, directly below Gulduck. Now head back to
the Tower of Sorrow.
This time, go up to L7 and go ahead where you previously could not.

to Milka in the centre. She will tell you about Dual Blade and the resurrection
of the Sinistrals before joining you. Check the orb before leaving for a
