Hello I'm Matthew Fletcher, though you can call me Shintaun. I loved
this game so much that I had to write a walkthrough for it. It's as
spoiler free as you can get while still listing boss names. I hope you
enjoy this walkthrough and have a great day playing this game too.
This guide uses the search function for quick and easy access. Ctrl+F is
how most browsers have it set up. Use the last 6 characters of a line.
Example (ABCD).  Only for a section provided.
In this walkthrough I will guide you to all items/breakable walls and
such as early as you can reach them. When I list items I mean list the
found ones found on the ground. I will also list every monster in every
room once. Sorry if it get's annoying seeing those same words over and
over.
Because I do not have a Beastiary nor a Quest Section up as I am currently
in need of a break from this walkthrough, I'll provide you links to current
ones. I take no credit for the information in these guides and I'll list
the username of the people who submitted them. But I suggest you use them
until I get my sections up.

TIPS AND GENERAL INFORMATION----------------------------------------(TIPS)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Candles and other breakable lights. If you use up any mp they are
guranteed to give you Hearts to restore it. However if your full on
mp and you break one it will give you gold. In 1,10,50,100 increments.
If you get a gold ring those increments change to 10,50,100,500 or
50,100,500,1000 for two gold rings.
Johnathan's Sub Weapons.
He get's many ranging from the tried and true Holy Water to even a Pie!
The more you use any Sub Weapon the stronger it gets. But to be more
precise. If you kill an enemy that you hit with a Sub Weapon, you will
get the number of sp that the enemy is worth added to your Sub Weapon.
When you get the maximum amount of sp for a Sub Weapon you will see in
Blue Text MASTERED on the screen. Mastery changes them in various ways.
To know if your Sub Weapon is already mastered or the amount of sp needed
to master it. Pause the game. Go into Guides. Go into Skills.
Charlotte's Spells.
She get's anything ranging from healing and stat boosts to destructive
spells. She has two levels of casting. Half and Full.
Half casting generally get's you much less power and shorter duration
as well. When you summon Charlotte by pressing R she will only do Half
casting. Likewise if you start to cast a spell and let go of Y before
the Glowing Red Bar is fully filled you will only half cast.
Full Casting get's the full effect of any spell. You know the spell is
fully cast when the Glowing Red bar is completely filled before letting
go of Y. She will also shout the spells name. In other words hold down Y
until you have a glowing red bar to do a fully cast spell.
A special note on stat boosting spells.
If you fully cast with Charlotte and summon Johnathon with A before
switching to Johnathan. You will get the full effect for Johnathan! At
this point you can dismiss Charlotte by pressing A and still retain the
effects of the spell.
I'll put in (?) after the name of every important monster. The ? is
replaced by the following and means.
Subweapon=SW, Spell=S, Quest Item=QI. Rare Monster=RM, Great Drop=GD
Mid Boss=MB, Boss=B, Undead=UD, Dual Crush=DC, Relic=R
All Mid Bosses are replaced with normal monsters after you kill them.
The first time you come across a monster I will tell you the Subweapon or
what not that it drops. But only the first time.
All Sub Weapons and Spells are quest items despite being listed as
what they are.
Only the Bosses in the Nest of Evil can be fought multiple times.
You can only kill those with the undead class using Johnathon's
Undead Killer Whip or Charlotte's Sanctuary Spell.
Never sell a quest item. Some of them you can't get back without doing
either clear game or online shopping.
Rare Monsters only appear under certain conditions. I list these the first
time you can see them.
Great Drops are drops I recommend getting.
I think I covered everything important for now.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Entering the Castle--------------------------------------------------(ENTR)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Zombie, Bat, Skeleton(S), Axe Armor(SW), Wight(RM)
Items: Change Cube(R), Call Cube(R), Tome of Arms 1, Short Sword,
Beef Jerkyx2, Knife(SW), Wait Cube(R), Raging Fire(S), Book of Spirits(R),
Head Guard
After the starting Dialogue exit the room to the right.
Welcome to the Castle Entrance. And what castle entrance wouldn't be
complete without it's very own Drawbridge? Drop down and head to the right
to grab the floating blue cube, aptly named Change Cube. These are your
Relics. They let you do more things. This one for example allows you to
switch characters by pressing X.
After that's done go right and jump up the platforms and jump left to grab
the second Relic. This is the Call Cube. Press A so that the weight of you
and your partner cause the switch to lower the drawbridge.
Head right and you'll enter the castle courtyard where you fight two
Zombies. Exit to the right and you'll enter a really small room. Exit
to the right once more.
First room of the castle and you only can kill two zombies and a single
bat here. Oh well go right and drop down to grab Tome of Arms 1 and
head left to grab a Short Sword. Both are better than your current
weapons so equip them. From here on I'll assume your checking new gear
and putting it on as you see fit. Go left and drop down. Attack the wall
on your left. A Beef Jerky should fall out. Exit to the right.
This is a Save room. They will show up on your map as red dots. You can
save at any statue with a Blue Aura. They will also refill your Hp and Mp
free of charge. You can get a refill without saving by saying no when
prompted to save. Exiting and reentering the room will cause the Aura to
return so no worries about limited use. Exit to the left.
Head back up and this time exit to the top right of the room. You can
break a pillar where the cracks are, by attacking it three times. After
you pass through a couple pillars, a Behemoth starts to chase you. Don't
fight! As there is nothing you can do to win. Quickly break through the
pillars and head right. You will reach a dead end. Jump up and grab the
Beef Jerky and stay there until the Behemoth breaks the wall to the right
and leaves. Note after this there will be one Axe Armor and respawning
Zombies in this room. If you kill all the Zombies a Wight will appear!
Exit right.
You get your first Sub Weapon, the Knife. When you use it. You throw two
knives in the direction your facing. To the right is another save room if
you need it. Jump up and exit to the left. In here you fight two Skeletons.
These can drop the Summon Skeleton spell for Charlotte. Exit to the left.
Go left and jump up onto the statue to grab the Wait Cube. Hold down and
press a. Then jump off and push the statue to the left until you partner
can jump without smashing their head into the ceiling. Press X to switch
to your partner and jump up. Go right and obtain Charlotte's first spell
Raging Fire. First, unless the Skeleton's dropped their spell for you. Exit
left.
This room has two Skeletons and an Axe Armor. Axe Armor drops the Axe sub
weapon for Johnathon. It's useful for taking out flying enemies. Exit left.
When you enter the room immediately jump up and into the next room. There
is one Axe Armor here. Grab the Book of Spirits and jump back down into
the previous room.
Head left to grab the Head Guard and then exit to the left. This is a Warp
Room. These will be invaluable in helping you get around different areas.
Return to the previous room and take the bottom right exit. A Talk Scene
will occur here. This is Wind. He will give you quests. Accept his quest
and then head right into the next room.
Another talk scene will occur here. This is Vincent your shop guy. I
recommend buying a map and the Shuriken Sub Weapon for Johnathon. Feel
free to buy another potion if you feel you need it. The Shuriken is one of
the best sub weapons in the entire game. If you throw it while in the air
and at the right distance you can get both shurikens to hit the same enemy.
Once mastered you throw four! I won't give anymore shop recommendations at
this point. I do suggest that you prioritize spells and sub weapons on
your shopping list though.
Go back to Wind and he will give you the Lizard Tail Relic. After another
talk scene exit left. Head down and left and jump on the switch to allow
you to go to the area below. Go to the ledge just above you and head left.
Slide through the gap and enter the room on the left. There will be
dialogue here. After the dialogue enter the portrait.
My Map Percentage was 8.4% for the Castle.
In the menu go to maps to see the % completion you have for each.

great damage to causing status ailments. Head left and pick up the Green

Bakery. Grab the Paper Airplane Sub Weapon and then head to the right. See
that Cash register hit it. It should pop open. Now hit the Chandelier
above it.
Depending on the amount dropped into the register you'll get a different
item. You can get Sachertorte, NY Cheesecake, Mille-feville, Wheat Roll.
All in rising coin order. You can't get the other two until later. I'll
tell you when. Any time you don't have any of a type of baked good that
appears here it will pop into existence. For now return to the previous
room and exit up. Exit right. Pick up the Rush Dual Crush. This is your
first Dual Crush. Dual Crushes take a LOT of mp and have a cool down time.
So even if you had enough mp to cast it twice you have to wait for the cool
down. Most Dual Crushes also provide invulnerability time during them.

Axe Armor. Head right and pick up the Sandals. Exit down. Here you'll

Boss Battle:Dullahan-------------------------------------------------(DULL)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dullahan
Hp: 600 Exp: 500 Sp: 40
Weak: Blunt, Whip, Lightning
Srong: Ice
Attacks
Lunge: He will thrust his Lance forward. If your on a top ledge he will
thrust it at you. You can dodge this easily by not moving if your on the
ground, unless he's really close and walks into you. Or in the case of the
top ledge, running away. It's also his opening move.
Plunge: He jumps forward into the air and thrusts his lance into the
ground. This will create a shockwave of blades that move forward. You can
dodge this by sliding under him if your close enough. If your not jump up
on the ledge and jump up to the next ledge as he lands. After this move he
is stuck for a little while so kick him while he's down!
Note: On hard he doesn't really get stuck. xD
Homing Head: He will put his head on and launch big projectiles at you
that hurt a lot and go where you were at the start of the move. You can
dodge these easily by moving away from where you were at the start of each
attack. Can be prevented by knocking his head out of the way when he goes
to grab for it. This is almost impossible in most cases unless your using
an overhead swinging weapon, Rock Riot spell or the Axe sub weapon.
Spinning Head: He will throw his head and shoot little projectiles in all
directions which also hurt a lot. Move far away when he goes to throw
crouching in a corner always keeps me safe. You can also hit the heads
away. Only occurs when Dullahan manages to do Homing Head.
Note: On hard he will launch big projectiles that spiral sortof outwords
at the same time as this move. I'll leave judging the distance up to you.
But your pretty much going to have to crouch and attack the spinning heads
away once you notice which spot is safe.If your still having problems you
can use a Dual Crush for limited Inulnerability when this move comes up.
Strategies
Johnathon should use Shurikens for some quick damage while keeping enough
mp just in case you need to use a Dual Crush for Invulnerability. Jump
attacking with an overhead swing weapon is a great way to keep Dullahan
from grabbing his head and for dealing damage.
Charlotte should use the Rock Riot spell to cause great damage and keep
Dullahan from grabbing his head.
The Holy Lightning Dual Crush will do a decent amount of damage to
Dullahan but is best saved for if he Grabs his head so that you can damage
him safely without getting hurt.

Castle After Haze----------------------------------------------------(CAZE)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemies: Golem, Skull Archer, Bat, Une, Zombie Dragon(MB), Merman,
Frozen Shade, Slime, Invisible Man, Skelerang(SW), Persephone, Larva,
Catoblepas, Lerajie(SW), Mimic, Great Armor, Behemoth(B), Keremet(B)

Partisan, Goggles, Axe Bomber(DC), Iron Leggings, Bathrobe, Nun's Habit
Accept the Supersonic Punch Quest. Go back to the City of Haze and head to
the Butchery. If you don't remember where it's at. Just head to the left
most room that's 3 squares higher on the map, than your starting point. In
this room you should see hanging sacks of meat. Unequip your weapon on
Johnathon and punch the hanging meat. Ground Meat should fall out. Return
to Wind at this point. He will give you the Bullet Punch. A fairly good
fist weapon that strikes twice per attack. It's quite useful so don't sell
it.
Head to the room just before the right most save room on your map. It
should be just after the room where the Behemoth chased you. Just a note
this is where I start counting the enemies again. Jump off your partner's
shoulders to grab the Whip Skill 1 Relic and then exit right twice. Pick
up the Spear and then enter the Boos Door to the right.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Boss Battle:Behemoth-------------------------------------------------(BEHE)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Behemoth
Hp: 800 Exp: 1000 Sp: 45
Weak: Piercing, Fire, Holy
Strong: Dark
Attacks
Charge: This attack has two variants. In the first one he shows he's going
to charge by puffing a bit of steam and slides his foot along the ground
twice just prior to charging off screen. Dodge this by jumping up onto a
platform and then jumping over him as he runs by. The second version is
where he slides a leg back and then leaps forward before charging off
screen. Dodge this by running forward and sliding under him. After a
little while he will charge back on screen and stop about in the middle of
the room.
Intestinal strike: In this attack he opens hi mouth and his intestines
rush forward to hit you. You can dodge this by either running away if
there is a decent space towards the wall or by crouching next to the wall.
Puke: He tilts his head upwards and pukes at you. You can dodge this by
ducking in the corner or being very close to him.
Strategies
Johnathon's Shurikens are a great way to rack up damage.
Darts are another nice choice since you can keep a distance from the
Behemoth while hurting him. A simple short hop will net you a bulls-eye. A
note about the darts. They are actually doing more damage than they show
if your getting bulls-eyes.
Charlotte's Ice Needle is the best spell you can use on him.
Rock Riot can do similar damage. But is a bit unsafe in comparrisson.
Other than that just attack him. A great weapon is the Spear you find
outside of the Boos Room. Because it has great reach and is piercing.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Boss Battle:Keremet--------------------------------------------------(KERE)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Keremet
Hp: 666 Exp: 2000 Sp: 50
Weak: Fire, Ice, Lightning
Strong: None
In order to make this Boss come out you have to attack the pot several
times.
Attacks
Dark Orb: He opens his mouth and a Magic Symbol appears before a big red
and black orb flies out in a straight line. If you hit it several glowing
skulls will rain down causing big damage. You can avoid this by not
jumping into it.
Note: On Hard he can cause the Skull Rain on his own.
Goo Shedding: When he is up he's constantly shedding blobs. These will
Crawl along the ground to the pot. You can dodge these by jumping over
them or destroy them outright with any attack.
Strategies
Push the pot over to a ledge. Put Ice Fang on Charlotte and have Johnathon
attack the pot.(preferably with Bullet Punch) Have Charlotte stand on
the first ledge and spam Ice Fang for a very easy win. I did 70 damage
three times per cast.
Another strategy is to equip your strongest weapon on Johnathon and jump
up and attack while Charlotte attacks the pot non stop. His Axe Sub weapon
will hit twice as well. All in all this way is much less effective than
using Charlotte. And you have to stop from time to time to avoid breaking
the Dark Orbs.

Boss Battle:Astarte--------------------------------------------------(ASTA)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Astarte
Hp: 1500 Exp: 3000 Sp: 50
Weak: blunt, Whip, Piercing
Strong: Fire, Ice, Lightning, Dark, Holy
Attacks
Charm: She'll say Temptation and Hearts will fly out of her at you. If
Johnathon is out he will be Charmed. At this point Johnathon will attack
you using whatever you had on him when he got charmed. Meaning you can't
take off his gear to make him less lethal once it's happened. To dodge
this simply take Johnathon off of the screen by switching to Charlotte.
If Johnathon gets charmed you can use a Dual Crush to get him back.
Note: If you beat this Boss while Johnathon is Charmed you will get to
hear Charlotte make fun of Johnathon. Well sortof.
Tornado: She will pull out what a gold rod and a Tornado will fly out of
it at you. You can dodge this by jumping over it.
Thrust: She slides forward and throws he veil at you to cause damage. You
can dodge this by Jumping up or running away.
Green Orb: She pulls out a staff and jumps up and back spraying green
orbs at an angle. To dodge this either get behind her or run away.
Strategies
1000 Blades is easily the most destructive thing you can do against her
almost killing her outright!
Johnathon's Bullet punch can do quite a number on her with 20 damage per
hit and striking in rapid succession. Back dash canceling his Dart sub
weapon can work nicely and keep you at a safe distance.
His Shurikens can devastate with about 41 damage per hit on a Mastered
Shuriken. So that's 164 damage per throw if you can get all 4 Shurikens to
hit!
Charlotte's Rock Riot and Summon Skeleton can do about 38 with each hit at
this point.
