| I. Introduction |
-----------------
Created by the mind of Koji Igarashi (behind the games: Symphony
of the Night, Harmony Of Dissonance, Lament of Innocence, Aria
of Sorrow, and Dawn of Sorrow.)
And this time it takes place three years after the events of
Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse. The year is 1476, and you are
Hector, a devil forage master who has betraid his evil lord,
Count Vlad Tepes Dracula. During this tragic event, that took
place, this allowed Dracula to be defeated by none other than
Trevor C. Belmont, who carries a burden and the sacred whip
known as the Vampire-Killer that has been passed down and wield
by his Clan for generations, to be the bane of the night. But
as Hector you are traveling to hunt down a former friend,
but now a deadly arch enemy named Isaac who too is a devil
forge master, and has had Hector's wife Rosilly trialed
as a witch and killed.
Hector seeks vengence, but in order to fight not only his brother
by spiritual body but, as an arch enemy. But alas - Hector must
regain his powers, and must try to over come and vanquish the
evil curse which plagues the lands of not only Transylvania
but Europe as a whole.
Now, the only downfall to this game is that there has have been a
few minor changes since the first PS2 installment. There is now
camera control functions, a lock-on system. But the combo system
from LOI has been removed. You are now given a few attacks and a
finisher depending how many times you press the main attack
button then the finisher button to preform combos. And the
move list from LOI no longer exist except for the guard
and guick-guard functions. But it lags, and isn't as smooth
as from its predecessor.

------------------------------------
My name is Ryan Nicholson, I currently live in the state of Missery
(Missouri) I love gaming as a hobbie but, I am not  a hardcord
gamer. I just play them when I have the time and for my own
personal amusement.
I'm a poet (and plan on publishing a book.) I also enjoy writing
short stories and I also am a musician. I've been playing guitar
for 11 going on 12 years. I'm into alot of the european metal (the
gothenburg sound) and I am also a classical guitarist.
Now I decided to write a guide for this game because there aren't
alot of guides out there that cover this game. And the guides
that I have seen for the game didn't really seem to be that
helpful. Or didn't seem to give the proper information as
when it was needed.
Now, I am a big Castlevania fan (starting from the first game
dating back on the NES in 1986.) I am also 20 years old, if
you are curious.
So you want to get into contact with me, eh? Then we shall
see. There are alot of ways of getting ahold of me.

| 1. Characters.   |
------------------
Hector:
The main character of COD. Hector is troubled soul bent on
the force of good and evil. He was a devil-forge master
and respected by Isaac three years ago. But when Mathias/Dracula
ranged his unslaught towards the humans by the death of his wife
Lisa, he now seeks vengences on Issac for killing his wife
Rossily. Now he must get in touch with his darker nature not only
to slay Isaac but must battle the Curse of Darkness within himself.
Isaac:
Himself a devil-forge master, but he did not give up his powers.
He is in league with the Prince of Darkness, and will not stop
until the true darkness within Hector is unleashed.
Julia Laforeze:
Isaac's sister and a real witch who had escape the witch hunters
within Europe. She helps Hector care for his demons, and provides
him with basic supplies.
Trevor C. Belmont:
From the family that swore vengence on Mathias Cronqvist, and
swore to to hunt and be the bane of the night. Trevor Belmont
was the first Belmont to actually face Count Dracula Vlad Tepes
with the help of Grant Dynasty, Slapha Belnades, and Adrian
Farenheights Tepes (aka Alucard) in a battle for Humanity.
Trevor now is not only hunting the children of the night. But,
he is also trying to find a way to vanqish the dreaded curse
which Dracula bestowed on Transylvania, and Europe.
Zead:
A strange man, who looks to be no more than mere-monk, who desires
not only to rid the curse of Dracula. But also to track down evil.
He is also on a mission to hunt down Saint Germain.
Saint Germain:
A mysterious man with strange motives unbeknowst to Hector
He, only wishes, that Hector to not presue Isaac. But reasons
for this are unknown.
--------------
| 2. Controls  ||
--------------
The controls in COD are very simplified. And the
learning curve of this game will only take about
10 minutes.
Left Analog stick - Menu select/walk/run
Direction button: I.D. (Innocent Devil) controls/menu select
Square Button: Attack
Triangle Button: Ability/Innocent Devil Ability
Circle Button: Finisher button/Steal/Use/Examine
X Button: Jump/Confirm
L1: Reset camera.
L2 Button: Lock-on Target
L1: Enable/Disable Lock-on Target
R1: Guard
Attacking
Attacking in this game is very diffrent from our counter part from
LOI. Insted of a combo system you are given afew choices of method
of attacks by what diffrent weapon you use.
But attacks are normally like this
Square, Sqaure, Sqaure, Sqaure
Sqaure, Circle
Square, Square, Circle
Square, Square, Square, Circle
So you should get the point the only limit that I have
seen in the game is 8 hits, but you can do some nifty
combos.
There are also afew other moves within the game
that the manual doesn't list like the following
Up slash/uppercut - hold the R1 button then attack (aka Luncher
attacks)
Jump Kick - Press the circle and square button at the same time.
Down attack: Can be used when using a heavy weapon (i.e. Claymore)
Other Infomation -
Unlike LOI this game is fully RPG. So every time you kill an enemy
you gain EXP to level up Hector so he may get stronger, and allows
him to have more HP (Hit points) So here is a layout of the RPG
system in COD
HP - Hit points (when whiches 0 you are dead)
Atk -  Your basic attack (how strong you are with weapons)
Def - Your defense (the higher it is, the better protected
you are.)
STR - Strength (the higher, the stronger you are.)
CON: Constitution (determines recovery time on status'.)
Poison: Resistence to posion.
Curse:  Resistence to cure.
Stone:  Resistence to stone.
Paralyze: Resistence to parayze.
Fire:   Resistence to fire.
Ice:    Resistence to ice.
Thunder: Resistence to thunder.
Wind: Resistence to wind.
Eath: Resistence to earth.
Light: Resistence to light.
Dark: Resistence to dark.
-------------------------------------
| 3. Introduction to Innocent Devil's |
-------------------------------------
Innocent Devils -
The thing I really like about this game is the introduction
to a new style and form of game play. Well not really new
but, new per-say. Innocent Devils (we shall refer them to
I.D's for now on.) are like familiars from SoTN (if you
have played  the game; it is a demon that follows you
around and helps you take out monsters within an area.)
Kinda like a second player but controlled computer A.I.
only.
In COD the I.D's play more of a significant and vital role
within the game. The I.D's will gain levelsto help them
grow stronger, to  learning new skills, which allows you
to have more opitions on how to clear out a room. And will
evolve  (if you choose) with what evolution crystals to use,
which will allow them to help  our hereo Hector to reach new
areas within the game OR help clean up the mess of monsters
within an area.
How do they work -
But how do I.D's work? Well, let me explain to you my friend!
I.D's are very easy and simple to control, you can either put
them on Automode (using your directional button's up and down)
which puts the computer in control of what special moves it can
actually do at that point in time, depending on its level and
form. Or you can press it back down to the regular control and
use the right or left directional button to select what and
which special ability  an I.D. can do and use it by pressing
the triangle button.
Now the I.Ds are mainly used for getting around areas. So that
they really aren't  that needed unless, you want to clean
house faster. You can also do solo play. But I wouldn't
recomend it unless, you find the early game abit too easy for
you.
Leveling up I.D's & abilities -
I.D's level up the same we Hector does (by earning experince
points.)
Innocent Devil's get abillities after doing certain task. Like
killing a certain amount of monsters or walking around for an
hour. I do (and HIGHLY) recomend after you  evolve each I.D is
that you stop harvesting EVO crystals (by turning it off in
the select summon screen.) So that it will give your I.D's
time to gain their newest ability.
Devil Shards -
After a certain amount of time and use of a particular I.D they
will drop shards (I.E. eggs) so that you can forge new monsters,
and bestow them on a path of new abilities that one doesn't have.
I will also explain why some Devil Shards are so important later
in this guide.
Types of Innocent Devil's -
Fairy Type - The healing type which can also give status effects
towards enemies
Battle Type - Pretty much the meatwagon's in the game.
Bird Type - The aerial attacks of the night
Mage Type - Pretty much the wizard type,
spell: Time Stop
Devil Type - A very agressive I.D (alot more
agressive than the Battle-Type)
Also a plot device... But it
can have it's good momments if
used propperly!
How to Evolve Innocent Devil's -
Evolving your Innocent Devil veries from which weapon type that
you use. So if you use a Sword (which is the color of Red)
monsters will drop Red EVO crystals. If you use an Axe type
weapon monsters will drop Blue EVO crystals. It depends on
how many evolution crystals that you have so that you can
upgrade it's form to a newer one.
But once it reaches to it's Crown (the highest level that
one can go.) you can no longer evolve it. So choose your
weapons carefully so that you can upgrade and evolve the
right Innocent Devil that is for you.
Each I.D. has diffrent strengths and weaknessess, so use
what is right for you. Take your time in this game and
experiment. Do you want a Mage type I.D. that can kill
every monster in the room? or do you want a Battle-type
I.D. that will help you on a slaughter fest? Or would
you rather have an Aerial attacker that will bomb the
hell out of them?
So take your time, have some fun. Work your way out on
it.

|4. Walkthrough   |
-----------------
Note:
As I mean right or left, straight or backwards I am referring to as
Hector is entering the room...Etc. For on the map screen I will be
referring: North, South, East, West...Etc.
****
ALSO THE MAPS ARE IN FIXED MODE FOR THIS GUIDE! So keep that
as a reminder so that you DON'T GET LOST! It'll make it a lot
easier with this guide if you keep the map in the FIXED MODE.
****
The beginning of the game, will tell you about the back story and
you will then be introduced to Hector and Isaac. After the cut
scene the game will begin
------------------------------------------------------------------
A. The Abanonded Castle                                           |
|
Map: http://db.gamefaqs.com/console/ps2/file/castlevania_         |
cod_abandoned_castle.png                                     |
==================================================================
This area is more like a mere introduction (with awesome music to
back you up) play around for a few minutes in the game to help you
get familiar with the controls. So take this time  to get used to
the game. And instead of going right into the castle, we shall turn
around to snag up a few goodies, A potion and a moai statue (if you
have a Lament of Innocence save file.) Now, return to the castle,
and go up to the door and enter.
Upon entering move forward until you see an Executioner break down
the wall. This may provide a challenge but, not really. Just
block his attacks or dodge and hit him with the weapon combo
attacks that I told you about earlier in this guide. After the
battle a blue door will be shown to you - that is a save room.
Go inside and save your game. (and register it to be a return
location if you desire.)
Now upon coming out make a left down the stairs and into the water.
Destroy the Mermen within this area, and then look for a staircase
to go up on the left side of the area to grab a potion at the top
You will also see a door. But when you go up to the door, you'll
notice you can't open the door and that something fits in it.
Remember this door, and return to the Save Point.
Now continue straight until you find yourself facing some
Skeletons. They shouldn't  be a problem if the Merman were simple,
then these guys shouldn't pose too much of a threat at all. Now,
if you kill one of them and if they drop something called Bronze
I will explain that to you when the time comes.
Now continue going forward and you will find a door; enter it and go
into the next room. You should be now going south on the map screen
if it is in Fixed Mode. Continue going forward and into your next
room.
In this next room you will face your first room battle  (if you're
new to Playstation 2 CVs.) The object is to destroy all monster
or a certain group of monsters within the room in  order to open up
a new door. But this should be really easy, for you're only facing
skeletons. Also in this room you will find an ability which will
allow you to quick-step by holding the R1 button and pressing X
and the analog stick in either direction.
After the battle go up the stairs, you will now be in an outside
area. Continue going forward and killing the Fenrir's that run
towards you. You will then come up on a group of Skeletons,
just take 'em out and go left and enter the door.
Tip: Candles hold very little money (Like $1 coins) but some
candles hold meat, potions, and curable status potions.
Again continue going straight and kill off the Skeletons. You will
then find another save room. You know what to do!
To carry on with the game, continue going straight, and take out
the monsters who block your path with sheer ease. And enter the
next room. In the center you'll see an item. That's the Abandoned
Castle map. Which can be very important if you get lost! ^_^
Now again, head left and go straight killing off the hounds of hell
and vile bag o'bones. And enter the next door.
In this next room you'll be in another locked room. Just kill off
the Skeletons and the Cyclops. After that just enter the next room.
In this room you'll find a treasure chest, but upon you trying to
open it you discover you cannot!
You'll find out how to open this chest in a few minutes. Instead
continue going straight up the stairs into a room with a green
door and a scene will be shown.
Now after that really 'cool' scene you obtain your first Innocent
Devil, and you'll meet your second character - Zead. But you're
probably thinking after that "cool" invocation you'd get something
cool? Naw, they start you off with a fairy. An efin' Fairy!
Yeah... I know - that's what I thought too! But fear not! The fairy
is very valuable, and special. Now remember what these doors look
like for these are doors which take you to rooms to gain new
Innocent Devil's.
After the scene you'll be given an explanation on I.D's.
------------------------------------------------
Innocent Devil #1: (Fairy Type) Instant Fairy   |
Level: 1                                        |
Abilities: Unlock, Heal Lvl. 1                  |
================================================
Now, leave this room - You remember that chest outside? That's
right - the Fairy has the ability to open chest such as this
one.  Within the chest you'll be given a Dragon Crest.
Now do you remember that door I told you about? The one that you
couldn't get in to? It's time to return to that door, because it
will allow you excess to open that door.
Now it's time for something a little bit more challenging. Kill off
the skeletons in this room and then the Executioner. Also in the
center of this room you will find the Bestiary, which will record
the information of the monsters you have killed. Now loon the left
(or right depending on the direction of the camera) head into the
cracked wall to goto the Basement First Floor.
In this next area you'll be given a fresh bunch of new enemies
called Ghost, just attack them any way you please  and continue
forward in to the next door. Again continue forward killing off any
enemy you see. You will then come to a new save point, use it and
then leave and go through the next door.
Go down and kill off the Fenrir's, and go forward Now you'll come to
a turning point to either go forward or left. Just keep going forward
for now. And kill off the Fenrirs and in the next room you will be
ambushed by three Ghost! OMG! Just kill them off. Now check your
map.
Now do you remember that path I told you to ignore (which is now an
unexplored section) go into the unexplored areas until you've come
to a door you haven't entered. Enter it.
In this room you'll see a bunch of barrels. Hmm, let's see wood +
sword = smash! ^_^ so destroy them all until you can pick up some
wine but it doesn't stop just yet. You'll find a potion and
another treasure chest which carries Aluminum.
Now go back to where you fought them three ghost and go into the
unexplored section and on the right, enter the door. Now in here
were things get a little challenging. Just kill off the Fenrir's
and Ghost, and grab the $100 bag in the center, and now leave and
go right and forward and then a quick left, forward and then a
right. You will then come to another door.
In this next roo--H-hey! Wait a minute, the music stopped! And
your fairy (if still activated) has a question mark above her head
and is going looney! Look towards a rotten out pillar! And next
to it you'll get the Weapon Combining Skill.
This skill will allow you to forge new weapons of war to rape upon
your victims! So, anyways right now you're going to want to make
a few new items. In the select menu, and select the Combined Weapon
menu. In this menu you will be asked to forage certain weapons (if
you have certain items) It really isn't that hard. Just select a
weapon that is ???????? (which is a new weapon or armor piece to
create.) Or you can forge weapons that you have already created.
Now you have a few choices. You can either make Sword, Axe, or
Knuckle weapon and some armor (Helmet/Armor) But, honestly it's
completely up to you on which weapon you desire to make. But I
honestly prefer a sword. But first create another Short sword
(using Bronze) and then you will use Aluminum and a Short Sword
to create  a Foil which is +10 to attack. Or you can create
an Axe by using a Short Sword and Wild Memory. Or a Knuckle Weapon
with Bronze and Aluminum.
After creating your items, it's time to see what's up  with this
pillar. Well any old school Castlevania vet knows what this means.
If you don't, just attack the pillar until it breaks to reveal a
new path. Go up the new path into a new room (Hey! The music
stared! Woo! And don't forget to collect the treasure chest!) In
this chest you will now have the ability to harvest  evolution
crystals which was explained in the early chapter of this guide
(See: Intro to Innocent Devil's for more information.) Anyways
turn around and continue straight into the next room.
In this room you'll be facing some new baddies: the good ol'
fashion ZOMBIE! *Does the song thing from Sean of the Dead while
zombies  approach* You know the drill! Just take 'em out with your
new goodies! And continue  into the next room which will be located
on the North side of the map. Again kill the zombies and go into
the next room. Now in this room, you'll encounter the 'healers'
of the evil monestrous group known as Wizards. Just simply kill
them.
Note: If you encounter these guys around other mixed forces such
as Axe Knights or Skeletons...Etc. They will heal them. So take
these guys out first and fast.
Now go into the next room and go straight into the next. *sigh*
(Yes, I know  you're probably getting me sick and tired of telling
you where to go, but it's my job to help you!) Anyways, in this
room, you'll be fighting some more baddies Now it's time to head
back up the 1st floor (not seriously go ALL the way back to where
you started, but the stairway in this new room.) In this next room
you'll be in a room with some Zombies and Wizard's. Remember to
kill them Wizzies off first.
Again leave this room into the next area. And in the next room you
will find yourself the ye' ol' zombeeeeeeeeeeya. But after you kill
them some Skeleton Blazers will appear, they also appear to be a
good challenge. Just quickly take  them out and leave this room and
continue straight into the next. In the center of this  room you
will find a potion a Wizzie, and a few zombies, you know what to do.
Next leave the room and go straight into the next room and kill off
the zombies. Also look for the chair in this room which looks like
an electric chair. Sit on it for some laughs. Shocking, eh? You're
probably curious of the chairs. The chairs in this game are for
a special side quest that seems to have a very good purpose
(you'll find out later) I will to try tell you where the chairs
are in this walkthrough or on a side-quest part of the game. Now
head up the stairs and you will now be on the 2nd floor in a new
part of the castle.
In this next room you'll be introduced to Axe Knights, they may be
slow but their strength is something not to be underestimated. Just
take them out and carefully dodge their hard hitting attacks. Now
leave the room on the south part of the map (or just go straight,
heh.) Continue going straight into the next room. In this room
you'll find more Wizzie's and a Axe Knight. Kill off the Wizzie's
first, then the Knight. After that turn left and go into the next
door. Go straight, kill the Axe Knight, and go left, kill
the second axe knight and then go straight into the next room.
In this next room you are locked off and ambushed by baddies,
Kill off the Wizzies, then the other local scum! Also in this
room you'll gain a new ability for double-step which allows
you to do a second quick step!
After the battle, it's time to go to the 1st floor (look on the map
of that unexplored section) for it's not time to go up to the 3rd
floor just yet! In this hallway you'll find another save point, so
use it if you desire. After that go down into the room which holds
the stairway to the 1st floor. In this room you have Axe Knights,
kill them if you want too, then go down stairs. Next go back up
stairs, and re-kill the Axe Knights and leave. Then head to
the third floor.
In this next area you'll encounter more baddies, just kill 'em off
and go to the next room and continue forward. In this next room
you'll encounter a good old friend, the Bone Dragon. Just jump up
and attack him to do an air attack combo. After this battle head
into the next hallway and go into the next room.
Anyways, you probably get the picture, just go around the square
and head to the fourth floor. Anyways in this next room you'll
find a save point on the left side going done the hallway. SAVE,
for it's about time to fight your first boss. Continue forward 'til
you see a door with crossbones on it. That is the symbol
of a Boss Chamber. Enter it.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
- Boss -  Crazy Armor                                            |
Level: 9                                                         |
|
This boss is really simple. He swings his right weapon two times |
and his left weapon once. Attack him with your weapon combos and |
dodge. Also air combo attacks work very well. If you're having   |
problems, have your I.D. heal you. Once Crazy Amor gets done to  |
his yellow life gauge. He will unleash a few new attacks (like   |
throw his head at you) After you destroy him, he will rebuild    |
himself. (isn't that a surprise...) He will shoot fireballs      |
at you, and do this flamethrower thing if you get close to him.  |
But don't let that bother you, this boss is a piece of cake.     |
-----------------------------------------------------------------
After the battle, he'll blow up. You will then see an elevator
raise up, and you'll also see this circle of shiny light. Go
in that after every boss fight and it will automatically replenish
lost HP for both your I.D. and yourself. Now go back to the save
point then enter the Elevator next and you'll be taken to a new
area.

B: Baljhet Mountains                                             |

baljhet_mountains.png                                       |
=================================================================
At the first of this area go forward and you will then come to a new
green door within it you'll find your first Battle-Type I.D.
-------------------------------------------
Innocent Devil #2 (Battle-Type) Magnard    |
Level: 1                                   |
Abilities: Aura Blast                      |
===========================================
Afer that is done, leave the room. You will then be abused by
Fenrirs and Lizardmen. These guys should pose no problem for you.
Also here's a little BATTLE TIP: You can do chain attacks with
your Battle-Type I.D. When you see the word "Chain"  appear hit
the regular attack button or the finisher button, this will make
the Battle-Type I.D. disappear and reappear in front of Hector.
This will cause extra damage! Also if timed correctly
chain attacks will add special effects! Neat, eh?
Okay, let us carry on. After your slaughter fest is finished.
Continue going straight then take a sharp left and go straight.
You will then have the stupid Lizardmen running towards you. Just
take 'em out and enter the door way. In this part you'll face
Fenrirs, and a few Skeletons which shouldn't pose too much of a
problem. Now you have two choices here, You can either go:
1. Straight or 2. Head to the door way on the right.
But it's totally up to you because, we're going to get something
really nifty in a minute. But if you want extra map presentege
then this is the best thing to do. So make a quick right into that
door way. In this part you'll hear a door lock, and see monsters
appear. Just take 'em out and continue going straight and enter
the next door way.
...Say, isn't...wait, aren't we outside? Are there any door ways?
What the heck man?! Them crazy Konami's! Anyways just head straight
and you'll see a door that is closed off. That door is where we
don't want to go into yet instead, we will want to go to the door on
the left. Pick up the green money bag on the ledge (double jump up
there to get it.) And you'll also see a door on the left side of
this area. Kill all the Skeletons and walk towards the door you
will have a face off with a Clycops which should pose no problem
in this next room you will have obtain Prefect-Guard.
Perfect-Guard is an ability if you time correctly when you guard
a monster's special move Hector and the monster will flash. This
will allow you to regain to Hearts back for I.D's.
After that back track all the way to the area before the area
with the room that leads to the perfect-guard. Do you see them
last two parts that we didn't go to on the map? That is kinda of a
circle path. So just  follow it around then to that entrance way on
the map.
In this area a scene will come in. And you will meet Julia. Now
there are a few reasons why I enjoy this area of the game: 1. No
monsters, 2: There is a Warp Room. (That yellow door which is
right in front of you as you entered the area.) As you enter the
room you will notice that the warp room isn't active yet. You will
activate it soon enough. But remember these rooms are marked as
green rooms on the map. These  are also rooms are very vital, so
that you don't need to back track in very huge areas. They will
allow you to warp to another area of your choosing. Anyways,
as you leave the area pick up the potion by that stone building.
Also go up to the door and try to open it.
But as you try to open the door, it seems you cannot open it yet.
Remember this area, for we will be back later. You now have no
other choice but to venture towards the new door way which is
right in front of that very building. In this area you will pick
up a Magical Ticket which will allow you to warp right to Julia's
shop. There is also a save room on the right, so take advantage
of that as well! Once entering Julia's house, you've now have
accesses to a shop.
There really isn't honestly anything good to buy in the shop
besides Potions, High Potions, Serums, and Uncurse potions, and a
Death Doll. The rest of the items within this shop are useless.
But the main good thing about this shop is that you can give her
your Innocent Devil's to care for. So that when your demons spawn
Devil Shards (eggs) to make new demons you can bring them here to
hatch them, and take care of them. Also within her shop you will
find a Rocking Chair and a Map of the area. So sit on the chair
and then leave.
That shop was stupid, wasn't it? Yeah I know... Upon leaving the
shop, it's time to move on. Make a left (or north on the map if
in fixed mode) into the new area. Now that we have the map for
the area, it makes things a lot more easier for this walkthrough!
Anyways you'll find the steal skill right by the entrance into
the next part of the area. In this part you'll get rushed by two
Axe Knights. Next head up the stairs, and kill the Wizard.
Continue going up the stairs and kill the other two Axe Knights,
and Wizards and move on.
So take your time, or just slaughter them! Also make sure you kill
the Skeleton who is shooting the cannon at you. After that sit
down  on the cannon and take the two out on the left and right,
then take down the barrier that is blocking your route. After
killing the cannon squad, and the orcs, four Axe Knights will
appear (I told you things will be getting challenging!) Split
up all the Axe Knights and attack them. Using your Magnard's
Aura Blast helps too! After that fierce battle head inside the
door.
In the next area you'll here another door shut off, it's time to
kill some baddies! Now in this room you'll be greeted by a few
Axe Knights. Take this time to steal some  items from them. (Lock
on them until the icon turns purple [or pink I think...] and press
the square button. After the battle, again move on into the next
area. Continue going straight and right. There will be a save room
on the right wall. After that go up to the Orcs who are firing
arrows, and a Skeleton Blazer. After that keep going forward,
killing off the Skeleton Blazers and go into the next area.
In the next area you'll here another door shuts off, it's time to
kill some baddies! In this area keep going up until you see a lot
of Orcs, you will also be greeting by them damned Skeleton Blazers
again. By now one of your Innocent Devils will/might have evolved.
Anyways move on to the next area - Now, in this area we're gonna
go up  the hill where we'll meet a one eyed, one horned, giant
purple people eater. Just bash him away!  And again another.
After that, move into the next area and kill the next baddies.
You will then come up to Blood Skeletons, as you try to kill them
(well any CV vet knows this) that they come back to life, and
barred door wont open. Remember this area, because we will be
coming back here later. So in the mean time back track to the
hill where you met that one eyed, one horned giant purple people
eater and go into that next section. Keep going killing off
baddies (check the map if you get lost.)
In the next area you'll here another door shut off, it's time to
kill some baddies!
In this next area you will be a huge waterfall, and  a bridge, just
cross it and go up to the chest and use your fairy to open it.
'Cause you'll be given the Innocent Devil chart that will map it's
abilities, progression, and status. After that enter the next area,
and take out the new baddies. Anyways take a left at this first
turn point and keep going forward, you'll be in a room with ghost.
Head up the stairs and double jump to reach a treasure chest to
obtain the Boiling Ring, which protects you against fire elemental
based attacks. *rolls a d20...*
In the next area you'll here another door shut off, it's time to
kill some baddies! After that, head off and head to the next set of
stairs. And as you guessed it, this area turns into another circle
path (two ways lead to the same area) so cover up them areas you
didn't explore and backtrack to where you just where. Now as you
try to enter the door to get to the area that which isn't covered
by the map you'll be ambushed by Efreets, these guys are easy,
just equip your boiling ring. After that go into the next section,
kill the baddies, and use the save point on the left wall because
it's almost time for a boss. From the save point go left
(or west on your map if in fixed mode.) When you hit the next
door it will lock and an Efreet will appear, just take him down
with sheer ease and continue.
In the next area you'll here another door shut off, it's time to
kill some baddies! Once in the next section kill off the Lizardmen
and continue going straight until you find the Boss Chamber.
Inside you'll face your second boss.
------------------------------------------------------------------
- Boss -  Wyvern                                                  |
Level 14:                                                         |
Steal: Shortcake                                                  |
|
This boss is actually what it name applies to. It's a big giant   |
dragon. Anyways, it's time to bash his head in. Waryvern has a    |
few attacks to note. When you get close to him he will swing his  |
tail if you are behind him. Just quick-step it, or jump. He will  |
also bash his head into the ground, again quick step this if you  |
are in front of him, but don't fear this attack for his head will |
be in the ground for a few seconds, which will lead him open to   |
attack. He will also fly up into the air and slam his body back   |
onto the ground for a flash field damage attack. (so jump over    |
the| force wave  when he hits the ground.) He will also fly a     |
round and breathe fire at you.                                    |
|
Use your Battle I.D. to attack him, and your Fairy I.D. to heal if|
needed.                                                           |
------------------------------------------------------------------
After the battle goto the healing point, then goto the last save
point. After that head into the next area...
-----------------------------------------------------------------

=================================================================|
Welcome to the third area! As soon as you arrive,  go straight and
kill off the Skeletons that come near you, and enter the next room.
Continue going  straight killing off the Skeletons and Orcs that
are in your path, and enter the next room.
In the next room you'll hear the door lock off and you'll be
greeted by a mob of monsters. Explore this somewhat huge area. If
your curious what that huge tower is in the center of this room,
that is the Tower of Evermore, we'll talk about that tower later
on. Now enter the door that is on the west side of the room.
In this room a scene will happen and you will meet Saint Germain,
who  is a very strange man indeed. Thus - it's time to continue
onward into the darkness. If you check your map you will find
three ways to go. For now head right until you come to a wall, on
the right side you'll notice the wall is cracked. Break it open by
hitting it with your sword to find your first HP Max Up. Now
venture to the right side of the temple entrance you will then
find a magical ticket. Now head into the temple.
For now just continue going north into the next room. As you enter
some  Bone Soldiers, and an Ogre will crash through the glass. You
know  what to do. Continue heading straight until you get all the
map parts in this particular section. Now return to where you just
saw two doors. One of the left, and one on the Right (or vise versa
if you are turned  around; on the west and south side.) Go inside
the west door.
In this room you will be attacked by Fleamen. But don't let them
bother you, just keep killing them and continue to go straight.
Once you have come to a turning point, continue going west. Go
straight  into the next room to find some ghost. Go into the room
on the left Inside you'll hear the door lock, and another batch of
enemies will come fourth from Hell. Just take 'em out with sheer
ease. After the battle grab the magical ticket and leave the room.
After that go left (north on the map) and continue forward to pick
up an uncurse potion, after that back track to where you first
turned to get into  this area. And explore that other path which
we didn't go down.
Upon entering the next room go into th room on the right side. In
this room you'll be greeted by some Axe Knights, just take 'em out
and grab the potion in the room, then leave, after that go north.
You will then be greeted by an Axe Knight, after that little
battle go left to find your first save point in this area.
From the save point (go north if the map is in fixed mode) until
you are in a room with Fleamen. On the east wall (right side) there
will be a door, enter it. In here you will be greeted by an Axe
Knight and some Fleamen, once you've taken care of them, grab the
area map, and leave.
From here go right and enter that door, now you'll have some more
of the map covered. Now return back where you came. Continue going
straight until you've find a cut off turn (north on the map) to the
right, head down that path and into the next room.
In this next hallway you'll encounter more Fleamen. Just kill them
off and continue going until you find a door on right, enter it,
it's another lock off room, just kill off the monsters in this
area. After the battle you'll notice there is a chest in here.
Use your Fairy I.D. to open it to obtain marker mode.
This skill is very important, we shall use it when we're finished
with this area. After this, leave the room. Now, we will want to
head back to that save point. (use your map if you don't remember
where it is.) Now, check your map and look where it says 2nd F.
That’s where we are going next.
Now that we're on the second floor, this area should be easy for
you. Continue going straight until you come to the door. Now, we
can either go left or right. It's your choice, since this part is
very small, just finish this whole area and then go back down
stairs and go back to the save point.
From the save point go into that door (not too far from it) that
we haven't been into. (it should lead into an unblue'd part of the
map.) From the door go right and kill off the Dead Fencer. After
that go into the right room which is full of Fleamen. After that
leave, and continue going into the next room.
In this next room you'll encounter Fenrirs, just go into the open
area, and kill  them all. After that, leave this part, and
continue going straight until you see a door which is on the
left, go inside. Inside here, mark this room, because we will
return here later. After that, leave the room, and continue going
left then continue going right go into the next open area, after
you kill the Fenrirs go into the next room (on the east part of
the map.) After that return and continue to go straight unto the
next room.
In this next room kill off the enemies and go into the door on the
left wall. In this room another battle will happen. After the
battle open the chest to get the Ceremonial Tool. After that leave,
and go left into the next hallway. In this hallway, you'll
encounter Blaze Masters who drop Ancient Memories. So, if you have
any new items you wish to make, do so now! Anyways, continue going
straight into the next room.
Again, continue going straight, killing off the monsters until you
find a Save Point, use it. And then leave, and then go left and go
into the next room. Continue going straight until you come across
a fork in the path, either go left or right because both paths
lead to the same point.
Anyways in the next room you will meet a new enemy, called Phantom
Swords. Just kill 'em off 'cause they shouldn't pose much of a
threat. Keep going straight killing off the Phantom Swords until
you come to a save point on the right wall. Use it, and then
enter the Boss Chamber
----------------------------------------------------------------
Level: 20(?)                                                    |

|
Trevor doesn't pose much of a threat, plus you don't even have  |
to take down his life bar that much. It's just mainly a story   |
driven battle. Just dodge his moves, and attack him with your   |
Battle I.D. and heal with your Fairy I.D. if you need to.       |
-----------------------------------------------------------------
After the battle head to the healing point and then exit the room.
Continue going straight until you find a door on the right, go
inside, and move into the magical circle. This will allow your
Battle I.D. to learn Brute Force, which will allow you to open big
doors. Anyways, leave this room, and don't forget to pick up the
Magical Ticket on the right of you. Continue going right and until
you come to a door you can't open.
Use your Battle Type I.D's Brute Force ability and enter the next
room. Keep going down the hallway until you come to a door that is
Yellow, that is another Warp Room. Mark it, because we're not going
to use it just yet. Continue going down the hallway until you find
a door on the left side, go inside. In this section of the area,
you will fight Slogra's. They shouldn't pose too much of a threat.
Continue going straight to go down stairs.
In this area you will be attacked by Skeletons, and thief demons or
whatever, just kill them off and continue going forward. In the next
room you'll fight some more skeletons and some Wizards. And in the
next room you will face some Slogra's and Wizards, kill them off to
open the barred off door. In the next room you'll face Ectoplasm,
and a Lesser Demon. Kill 'em off, and keep going. In the next room
you'll face off some Slorgra's and some more Lesser Demons. Go
inside the next room you obtain the Sixth sense Brooch, which will
let you know when an enemy is going to attack. After that head back
up stairs.
Now that we're back upstairs, continue going straight and into the
other room (where the warp point is.) Then go left into the next
hallway that we didn't explore just yet. Continue going down the
new unexplored area and kill off the Thieves and into the next
room to Obtain a Sun Tear. After that return to the Warp Room
door, unmark it (by pressing the Triangle button.) And go inside.
Once inside you'll notice that Warp Rooms are now activated. Just
sit in the chair, and select Baljhet Mountains.
----------------------------------
D. Baljhet Mountains (Re-visted.)|
==================================
Now that we are back here, head to the save room and to the shop to
