help so I can keep a steady order going as I move through the game.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[STORY-INTRO] Storyline (Intro sequence from the game text)
'Tis a tale of long ago,
when the Mana Tree
was newly born.
Illusia Isle located in
the middle of a sea in
the center of the world.
Above it towered the
great Mana Tree.
I'm sure you've heard
many stories about
the Mana Tree and
the Sword of Mana.
The story you're about
to hear tells of the
only time the holy
sword ever dared to
defy Mana.
This is how it all
began...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[FAQ] Frequently Asked Questions
Q. What is this game like? How does it compare to other Seiken Densetsu games?
A. It bears little similarity to previous games in that it is more of a dungeon
crawler (think Diablo) than an Action RPG. The storyline doesn't feel quite as
deep as the previous games either, but there are shimmers of the former games'
style in there. Graphically it has quite the feel of Legend of Mana. The ring
menus are use quite a lot, but not as much as SoM, and magic is quite similar
to Sword of Mana.
Q. Does this game have Wifi or multiplayer?
A. This game does NOT have Wifi, but does have DS to DS multiplayer to do
cooperative play. Each player has to own the game, this is not a download play
option. Also multiplayer will allow you to access gems that normal play does
not.
Q. Is this game difficult?
A. No, the game is not all that difficult. You'll find that depending on the
character you'll need to adapt to a certain style of play, but overall you'll
find that if you keep up to date with levels and weapons, the game is
relatively easy.
Q. What's the music like? Do any old Seiken Densetsu tunes return?
A. The music follows the style of Legend of Mana or Sword of Mana. There is a
full list of composers and tracks in the soundtrack section. It sees the return
of Rising Sun, the title theme from Final Fantasy Adventure (Seiken Densetsu 1,
if you wish).
Q. Can I delete save-games?
A. No, you can overwrite them with new game data though.
Q. How do I change spirits?
A. Talk either to Tess, or when she is unavailable talk to Nana in the Silver
Mermaid (girl in the green dress).
Q. Are there classes in this game like in Seiken Densetsu 3?
A. No.
Q. I can't access X mission even though I've followed what the guide says.
A. If part of the guide states, for example, to talk to someone to access the
next mission, and that does not trigger the event, then either e-mail me or
post a message on the GameFAQs board, stating what character you are using, and
that you have tried what it says in the walkthrough. Also if you find the
answer is talking to someone else, say, let me know of that also so I can
amend the necessary notes on the matter. The more background information you
provide, the easier it will be for us to make sense of what is happening.
Q. Is the touch-screen used?
A. Only for menu navigation, not in the actual gameplay itself. The menu
navigation can also be done with the pad, so it is not strictly necessary to
use the touch screen at all, although for things like the Gem Frame you will
find it easier to use the touchscreen.
Q. How do I extend my Gem Frame?
A. The three expansions are listed in the [GEMS] section.
Q. How do I open the Haunted House?
A. After Star Lake, go to Moti's house and look for the shining object near the
fireplace. Pick it up and take it to Moti. Then use that object to open the
door to the Haunted House.
Q. Where does this game fit in with the rest of Mana games with regards to
timeline?
A. The events of Children of Mana occur 10 years after the events of Dawn of
Mana (which is yet to be released while writing this FAQ).
Q. What are the elemental sidequests for?
A. Once you have finished all the sidequests and completed the game, you will
be able to access a final sidequest by touching the Mana Stone in the village.
The reward for this is the Mystic Blessing gem. See the [SUBQUESTS] section for
more details.
Q. How do I get past the bails of hay/floating blocks/box obstacle in certain
areas that follow my movements?
A. There are several ways of doing so. First off, you can bash the heck out of
it, though this will take you ages. Secondly you can put an object such as a
barrel in its path using the knock-back strike of the sword, the flail, etc.
Thirdly, you can use the flail diagonally to pull yourself across just above or
just below it. It takes some practice, but the block can't follow you quickly
enough when you're pulled by the flail, so you can normally get past it this
way.
Eric has also contributed the possibility of using a focused Fury Sword attack
in diagonal to get past them. So give that a go if you don't have a Flail yet
or aren't having any luck.
Q. How do I get past the fast-moving quick-sand in Fiery Sands?
A. You can either flail yourself across by diagonally aiming and latching on to
a wall, which will work pretty much every time in the subquests but won't get
you all the way in the main mission, or you can equip a Virtue of Balance gem
to walk on sand and ice normally (check the [GEMS] section with regards to how
to obtain said gem).
Q. Do you get penalized for dying on a level?
A. You are returned to the Mana Village but you do not lose (as far as I have
seen) any Lucre, EXP or items. You do lose your progress in the level, of
course. While this may not be a pain in the first levels, if you die on the
16th zone of a 17 zone level, you'll be kicking yourself.
Q. Do all enemies give the same EXP?
A. Enemies start out by giving you a certain amount of EXP, but as you gain
levels you will find that this will reduce down to the minimum of 2EXP per
monster. If you follow through this guide with the level suggestions, you'll
find that most monsters will indeed give you only 2 EXP. However, you
can increase the amount of EXP received using gems like Heart of Progress or
Courage to Learn.
Q. How do I defeat the boss in Jadd?
A. Use your bow. Now, you may say "but I AM using my bow and I only do 1
damage", which is quite possible. If you're using the default Bow that you
receive from Moti you will indeed only do 1 damage. Make sure you equip an Iron
Bow, and you'll find that you'll do around the 20 mark at least.
Q. Do the effects of experience gems stack?
A. The effects of EXP boosting gems (such as Heart of Progress and Courage to
Learn) accumulate side by side, so if you have two Heart of Progress, you
double your EXP, as opposed to them accumulating exponentially, which would
give you (100 * 1.5) * 1.5 = 225%
Q. What do the Benevodon sidequests do? How do I access them?
A. To access the benevodos sidequests, you must equip one of the elemental
spirits and then Chat to one of their instances in the town (ie. equip
Salamando then talk to the Salamando spirit in Moti's house next to the
fireplace). They will give you the sidequest and details. After completing all
the sidequests, you will be able to access a final area, after you have
completed the game, by touching the Mana Stone in the town. This mission takes
place in the Cosmic Rift. The reward at the end of this quest is Mystic
Blessing - Restores 6 HP and 6 MP every 3 seconds. Check the Subquest section
for information as to when these subquests become available throughout the
game.
Q. What are the sparkly items in my inventory?
A. These are new items since you last looked at your inventory.
Q. What level do you suggest I do X mission on?
A. The level recommendations are mentioned throughout the guide, however there
is a list of them as shown in the guide under [LEVELS] as the question comes up
so often.
Q. If my game is a different region from the person's whom I wish to multiplay
with, will it work?
A. As far as I have seen, yes.
Q. Where do I get the Ultimate Equpment?
A. See the [ULT] section.
Q. Is there any point in choosing ??? as a reward for a mission?
A. There is one Yellow Gem, Lore of Artificers, that is ONLY obtainable through
this option, and appears randomly. Other than that, no.
Q. My question isn't covered here or by the walkthrough / I think there is
something wrong in your walkthrough / I have a suggestion to make for your
walkthrough / I have some details that are missing from your guide.
A. I'm very happy to receive e-mails regarding this guide, and I will endeavour
to answer all e-mails received as quickly as possible. I am very grateful for
any feedback, and will take suggestions on board. If you have information that
is not reflected in this guide (like a subquest I do not have listed, a weapon
not listed, etc), please e-mail me as many details as you can, and I will
credit you for providing this information when I update the guide. You can find
my e-mail address at the top of this guide.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[CONTROLS] Controls and Gameplay
The button configuration and menus are well designed when it comes to doing the
levels.
L - Ring Menu to select item (press Y to assign)
R - Ring Menu to select weapons (press button to assign, X or A depending)
A and X - Primary and secondary weapons, hold to do focused attack
Y - Use Item
B - Cancel in menu, hold to use magic
Start - Bring up option to use Magic Rope to return to the Mana Village.
Select - Activate Fury (see below)
And in town, well, it's the basic Start for menu, use A to talk, B to cancel.
As you get hit or hit others, you gain Fury meter. When the Fury meter hits
it's max, you can hit SELECT to activate it. Your attack rate is faster until
the meter runs down again, and your focused attacks are modified to do more
power and have different effects (see the Weapons section for greater detail).
You will also gain the effects of any purple gems you have equipped in your gem
frame.
The bottom screen will display stats while in the town and during levels, but
in the levels will also show the following info:
- An overhead map of the level, pinpointing the Gleamdrop and Gleampool and
live enemies.
- Information on where to find the gleamdrop and pool (ie, "in a vase")
- Experience points til next level and current level.
- Equipped elemental and the magic spells it provides.
Also when in the Mana Village, your next step to advance in the game will be
displayed below.
The touch system is used only for the menu systems that involve
equipping items and gems, dialogue options when talking to people, and if you
really want, choosing weapons and items during combat, but this is pointless
because you'd do it much faster with the ring system displayed in the main
screen. You can even skip using the touch screen altogether by navigating the
menus with the D-pad and A/B.
Levels are obtained by killing, simple as. You don't have to level up swords in
the way SoM did, just the level of your main character. Each enemy will award a
minimum 2 EXP points, though there are gems to modify this to gain more.
Enemies will give you more EXP the less level you have, and depending on what
level the enemies are (so for example the Rabites at the beginning of the game
will start off giving you 6 EXP, and dwindle down to 2 as you gain more
levels).
Your centre of operations for the game will be the Mana Village on the Illusia
Isle. You'll be given missions by Moti to progress along the game, and return
here after the mission is complete. You can also obtain subquests to gain items
and levels by visiting Dud Services, talking to villagers or talking to
elementals. The Dud Services subquests are randomly generated, and the villager
and elemental subquests are detailed in the [SUBQUESTS] section.
When you visit a site for a mission, you'll go straight in unless you've
already completed the main mission previously. If the latter is the case,
you'll be given the option to carry out the subquest that you have picked up
(you can only do one at a time), or to return to the site via a space-time
rupture to redo the level and pick up items you missed, improve your level,
beat your previous ranking, etc.
Missions are divided up into Zones, and to pass to the next zone you must find
the GleamDrop and take it to the GleamPool. This is explained in more detail
during your first mission. Also note that your HP is mostly restored between
zones, so no need to waste items recovering at the end of a zone before you
move on to the next. Each 4 zones, you will have a chance to re-arrange your
equipment, save and review your Status.
Another thing to note is that the number of enemies displayed on screen will be
limited as it was in previous Mana games, although this time it is not fixed at
three enemies. It will start out as such, but as you advance in the game and
improve your level things will start getting tougher. This can be used to your
advantage in some levels, as you can leave a harmless number of monsters alive
while you scout the rest of the level killing off the monsters one at a time,
then go back for the remaining swarm. A cowardly tactic, but when you're in a
pickle the rules of chivalry not only get thrown out of the window, but are
tied to a cannon and propelled out faster than the Black Hole ride at Alton
Towers.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[RANKING] Let's see how good you are!
At the end of every 4 zones on a main storyline mission you will receive a
score for how well you are doing in the level, and at the end of the level in
total, after the boss, these scores will be added up and you will receive a
ranking according to how well you did. Depending on your ranking, you will
receive certain rewards, and the better the ranking the better the prizes. You
also will have the option to choose a random item (marked by "???"). Generally
this will not be a good choice, HOWEVER, there is at least one item (a Yellow
Gem) that can ONLY be received via this choice.
You ranking scores are determined by three factors:
-Kills: The number of enemies you killed during the level, or the boss.
-Chests: The number of treasure chests you discovered during the level. This
includes trap chests that you defeat, NOT ones that explode. Also, you don't
HAVE to pick up the contents of the chest.
-Time: The amount of time it has taken for you to complete the set of zones
being ranked. This will not gain you points, but a multiplier that will take
effect on the previously mentioned scores (the maximum is 3x).
Even if you don't get all items or kills, you'll find that getting through a
level quickly will make up for that fact.
Note on Trap Chests: Depending on the colour of the chest, and maybe the
location of it (I'm still trying this), the chest has to be defeated with a
different weapon, so if it doesn't go down with a hit from one weapon, switch
to another.
These are some approximate point requirements for Silver and Gold ranks
throughout the game (these are estimations based on scores achieved, so are by
no means exact... if you find out otherwise let me know).
1. Mana Tower - Gold:2400 Silver:800
2. Star Lake - Gold:3000 Silver:1000
3. Fiery Sands - Gold:4500 Silver:1500
4. Ice Citadel - Gold:4000 Silver:1500
5. Brightwood - Gold:4500 Silver:1500
6. Ruins - Gold:4500 Silver:1500
7. Path of Life - Gold:6000 Silver:2000
8. Cosmic Rift - Gold:12000 Silver:4000
