When your characters level up, they will receive Skill Points and you can put
those points into 5 Catagories freely. No matter how different the number each
character gets, eventually they all gets 350 in total by Level 99. But with the
help of the item 'Skill Seed', you can fill up the remaining 150 Skill Points.
The monsters that drop them indefinitely are Hell Planet, Troll King and Big
Fang whom are all found in the Heavenly Altar.
We all know you need 500 Skill Points in total to fill up all 5 Catagories.
That means all Level 99, each character still needs to have at least 30 Skill
Seeds since one Skill Seed gives 5 Skill Points. In total, you need 120 Skill
Seeds for all characters. Those 3 monsters up there drop them rarely and the
alternative way is from the Dragon Forms of Dragon God King. They drop Skill
Seed as well.
Anyway, as you put points into one catagory, when you meet a certain number,
you will learn some skill. Here is the full list:

Watch the opening scene and after Yangus done talking, you are free to move
around. Break the barrels if you want, then talk with Yangus. Afterward, you
will be engaged into your first battle in the game, against 3 Slime. Surely,
don't tell me that's hard. Yangus is controlled by the AI, so you can only
control yourself. However, you can change the Tactic for Yangus so you can
control him as well. The Tactic should be the last one: Meireisasero. After the
battle, another scene and staff credits kick in.
Afterward, Trode will promt you with a choice. Just pick yes and get it over
with. After that, you will be in control again. Speak with Yangus to get him
to join you. Your destination is the bar, so open up the map and you should
see a Beer Mug to the north of the town. That's the bar. But before that, take
some time and explore around the town. Once you are done, head to the bar. Get
near the guy that's near the Bartender. A scene will take place, after that,
speak with Luinelo. After that, head out the bar. Before anything, head to the
well at one of the corners, since the guy that was here before is gone, go
down and take the Leather Shield. And you might as well going to the church and
save your game. Now head down to the central area where your wagon is. Well,
just the villagers picking on the 'monster' Trode, hehe. During the scene,
Trdoe will promt you with another choice, again, pick yes and get it over with.
Yurima will end up inviting you to her house and her house is by the well which
was previously locked. Talk with Yurima that's taking a nap, and the man named
Luinelo will come in. At the end, Yurima will give out your next destination:
A cave to the south of the town. Now, exit out the town from the NW gate.
Trode will just send you back in to sleep for the night. In the next day, use
the south gate this time. This is one big area, if you want to explore around
and do some leveling, by all means, I got up to Level 3 for both characters.
Once you are done, follow the main road. At the intersection, do as the sign
indicates, so right. You will see a waterfall from a distant. As you got near,
you should see the entrance of the cave.
Continue along the straight forward path, at the intersection, obtain the map
and go either way. If you open up the map, you can see both ways lead to the
same path. But take the right path anyway, that leads to treasure boxes. On
B2, continue along the path. Eventually, a monster will block your way. Pick
yes and it will step aside. If you speak with it again and pick yes, you get
to fight it. It has more HPs than most of the enemies you fought with til this
point, but it's not that hard if you heal your character. After the battle, go
along the path and at the intersection, go left for a treasure box or right to
continue down to B3. B3 is just one boss fight, so make sure your guys are
fully healed. Zaban isn't all that tough. My guys are at level 5, with some
healings, it went down eventually. If you want to play safe, level up a bit.
After the fight and scenes, you will obtain the Crystal Ball. Time to return
to Trapetta.
Return to Luinelo's house. Get near him and scene will take place. After the
night, walk down the stairs for another scene. Well, you got your next lead.
Speak with Luinelo and Yangus, then head out the town. It's south again. This
time, follow the main road as well, but at the sign, go left. Continue, and at
the next sign, go right. Cross the bridge, and follow the path after the
destroyed gate. Continue the path and at the intersection, go left to the near
town.
Two kids named Maruk and Poruk will engage into a battle with you. But this
fight will end quickly. Your destination is the house to north during day time
and as usual, explore around before you do that. If you sleep at the inn, you
also get to see a scene with Trode doing something. Within the North Mansion,
explore the first floor then head up to the second floor. Explore around and
take the stairs in the NW room to the third level. Speak with this maid here
and a scene with a rat going into a rat hole will take place. Exmine the hole
and your pet will be in control, hehe. Go down the stairs and using the broom
as the path, get to the table. You will obtain Jessica's Note. Head back to the
hole. Looks like Jessica went to the East Tower. Now go back down and go to the
door that's being blocked by Maruk and Poruk. Keep talking to them and select
yes then yes 2 more times. Poruk will come along. So head out of town and go
left. At the intersection, continue to the left.
In Palmid, at the Armor Shop, you can buy the Dancer Outfit for Jessica. It
costs around 1300 Gold. This is another must get for Jessica fans.
Continue through the cave. At the intersection, go right. Collect the map and
advance. At B2, doesn't matter which way you go, they lead to the same place.
At B3, continue along the path and meet this big mole. Talk with it and pick
yes for a funny scene. Once you got enough, pick no. Then time for another boss
fight. This guy likes to confuse and paralyze your guys, so have a healer or
two to heal those bad effects. Concentrate on Don Mogura, the other ones, you
can ignore or use Boomerang so you can hit Don Mogura as well. Afterward, you
will get the Moon Shadow Harp. Let's get back to Ishumauri in the Moon World.
At the end, you'll be sailing. Well, if you open up the map, you will quickly
see this little island. Let's go there.
By the way, your Renkingama should have been powered up by now. It's now
Dai Renkingama (Great Alchemy Pot). You can combine 3 items now.
Talk with the man by the house and one of the kids around. Rest inside the
house if you want. When you're done, head into the mountain. Just don't forget
to use the Lizard Power before entering. Ok, we are here for the Argo Lizard.
Walk by using the D-Pad. Running will scare them away. You have to defeat them
once you got near them. Prince Chagos will also help out in battle. But he is
so weak, good thing that he isn't a target. Sooner or later, he will just run
off. After the battle, you will obtain Argon Heart. Now head north and you
should be able to see another Argo Lizard but it's sleeping. Crossing the wood
bridge, pick up a Joro Fruit. With the fruit, get near the Lizard and throw it.
That will wake it up and jump toward you. Kill it and let's get the third one.
Go east all the way, and to the right to cross the stone bridge. This will
trigger another scene where the third Argo Lizard shows up. Continue the path
and pick up a Joro Fruit. Throw it off from the bridge, near the Lizard. It
will jump down. Now head down and when you are near, walk close to it. Defeat
it and the party will spend a night here. The next day, once you gain control,
run down and fight the 'Argo Great' on the way. Even though this is a bigger
size one, it isn't all that hard. Hi Tension, heal and attack. Everyone should
be able to heal, and at least one person can revive. Yangus and the hero are
my main attackers, Kukule and Jessica are the healers. If you got Rukani and
Skurt, that's great. Keep using that if you don't need to heal. Afterward, go
back to Southern Beak.
You can buy some goodies here, but they are expensive, hopefully you have lots
of Gold. Once you are done, go up the east hill. You will find the Prince. This
guy is just helpless. He got a fake one and all these are saw by King Clavius.
Enter the castle and go to King Clavius. After the scene, talk with the King
by the windows. Now go TO 4F East. Open the previously locked door to obtain
some goodies, most importantly, the Magical Mirror that we are here for in the
first place. Exit out the room and a scene will take place. Looks like the
Mirror itself needs magical power first. Looks like some man to west will be
able to solve this problem. So leave this town and go east. By the left of the
camp, there should be a small path. Take that road. Eventually, you will be
there. However, he's not home. So continue further with that road. Eventually,
you will meet him. Princess Mytia will finally return to normal, well, for some
time. Talk with Mytia and drink the water. Anyway, after the scene, back to the
house of that Magician. He will tell you that the real name of this mirror is
called the Sun Mirror. To get the power back, we will need the light from this
Water Dragon. You probably fought it before. Bring the Sun Mirror to you, and
use it in battle. Now it's just wait for Water Dragon to use the attack. So,
wander around the sea and wait for the random encounter with the Water Dragon.
If you sail near the sea-side church up north of this continent, go SE. You'll
pass under a bridge (with a town called Liberarch in the middle) and you should
encounter the Water Dragon. If you still don't know the location, you could
also sail from the Medal Princess' Island and go west, as you did before to
get to this western continent. When you encount the Water Dragon, starts up the
battle using the Sun Mirror. Now wait til it uses Gigo Flash. While waiting,
might as well build up your Tension. Once it uses it, finish the Water Dragon.
You should now have the Magical Mirror into its original name and form, Sun
Mirror. Time to go to Darkness Ruin.
Before going into the Darkness Ruin, let's make an all powerful Sword. The
recipe is: Zombie Killer + Amulet's Holy Seal = Zombie Buster. It has Attack
Power of 65, a very strong sword at this point of the game. You probably have
a Zombie Killer right now, bought from Southern Beak Plaza. As for the Amulet's
Holy Seal, you need to combine Tattoo of Anger, Holy Water and Golden Rosario.
Head to the center structure, see how a round shape thingy would there? Well,
let's use the Sun Mirror. Doing so will take away the Darkness Barrier. At this
point, you should know the boss of this place will definitely be Dormagus. Make
sure you are prepared. Be around Level 27 for your party, and with the Zombie
Buster if you took my recommendation, you won't have much problem. The thing
is, Dormagus uses magic and pretty darn good at it, if you got anything that
raise up magic defense, by all means, prepare those. You have to fight him two
times, just so you know. Also, MPs might cause a problem, so don't just stock
your characters with only healing items, but also MP healing ones. Anyway,
enough with the spoilers, let's head in the ruin. You have two doors: One to
east and one to west. Take the east one and get the map at the end. Now go for
the west door. Hit the switch at the end, this will raise up the platform. Now
back track and go north. Enter the NE door. Continue the way and enter another
door. Go down stairs and take the near stairs. Hit the switch and back track.
Pass the just lowered path, ignore the stairs that's near for now. Head east
and you should find another switch. Now take the stairs, cross the just raised
path. Continue the path and eventually, you will get to another switch. Raise
it, this will block the way ahead, so back track all the way and take the
stairs at west. At the end, take the two Treasure Chests. Now back to the last
switch you pressed, press it again to lower down. Forget the stairs that's near
for now. Continue to north and take the stairs up. Hit the switch and back
track. Take the stairs from before now, hit another switch. Back track and go
north again and lower the switch. Now you can go east to the next area. In this
area, which is B2, open up the map and check things around. The right path near
is obviously a dead end, so don't bother. Go west instead. One of the boxes
here is also Mimick which is just a stronger version of Man Eater Box. At B3,
a little puzzle. Two statues on left and right. Two buttons near them, blue
one is go right, red is go left. The statue will start moving once you step on
either button but stop if you step away. The solution is, point one point at
one of the bird's wing, the other point at the other wing of the bird. Once
you have done so, the path will lower. Go down and there is a little opening
to the right, basically, these water here will heal your HP and MP to full. If
you have Yangus' 'Whistle', you can train here, very good spot. At B4, before
you enter the door. Make sure you are prepared, really. Otherwise, Dormagus
will beat you pretty bad. At the beginning, he will multiply himself. I just
focus on the middle one. Once the middle one is out, the other two are nothing.
On the second battle, this time, it's just him in his transformed body, but
still can do two things in his turn. If you won the previous battle with not
much trouble, then this one is easier. He can dispell Tension so don't bother
with them. Well, you can try your luck. I have my hero attack with Zombie
Zombie Buster and sword skills, Yangus do the similar thing, Jessica to cast
support magic, and offensive if she doesn't need to do so or heal. Kukule is
similar here, attack or heal, full party heal. After the battle, Dormagus will
blow up and died into a pile of sand... However, this is not the end. Jessica
did pick up the Legendary Magical Staff...
Exit out the Inn. Save your game, buy some stuff, you did just went through
some tough battles afterall. Once you are done. Let's go north of Southern
Beak.
Not much freedom at this point, the villagers block pretty much everywhere,
except this one house. So, enter the house. Explore around the first floor to
gather some items. Afterward, go up to Floor 2, and enter the door to the
right. A scene will triggers. Evil Jessica will end up leaving upon your
entrance. Afterward, talk with Howard. Then head to Kranbartol's House. Now
head out of the house. The house you want is directly below the fountain near
Howard's House. So make your way around the town and enter the house. He will
tell you his father is at some tower up north and you will get the Stone Sword
from him. This will be needed to open the door of the tower. Do whatever you
need to do here, to go out of town by the north entrance. Continue to east.
You were here before, don't tell me you don't know the way. Make your way to
the top room with the Statue and when you try to leave, a scene will trigger.
As for this point, we hear the Seven Sages for the first time. The blood of
The Sage has been passing down to the Kranbartol family, and right now, the
Arbart family (Jessica's family). Jessica is basically the last one since her
brother died. The eyes of Lizas' statue will drop, examine it to obtain Kran
Spinel. We got what Howard wants, let's go back.
Howard is just outside his house. Get close to him to trigger a scene. After,
go inside the house, to second floor. Talk with Howard. Pick yes and yes, then
go down the secret room. Collect the items and read the books. You will obtain
the book called World Barrier Full Volume. As you go up stairs, looks like Evil
Jessica is back. Give the book to Howard and he will heal you fully. Then get
out of the house, then head to the fountain that's near. You will be fighting
'Cursed Jessica'. She attacks 2 time per turn. Mostly magic then full party
sleep spell. She can also summon out Shadows to help her. But they are easy to
take out. Try to take out 2 then focus back on Cursed Jessica. It's easier than
fighting Dormagus. It takes more time because you can't really use much Tension
since she will just put you into sleep. Focus on special and magic, have at
least some one to heal each turn. I think Jessica can summon up to 6 Shadows,
3 on each side. I just take care of four, 2 on each side. I think she might
regenerate if you destroy all 3 on one side. After the battle, Howard will come
to help. Jessica's Legendary Magical Staff got knocked down, she goes back to
normal. When Howard promt you with a choice, pick no. Even if you pick yes and
try to finishing off Jessica, Trode won't let you. And the Legendary Magical
Staff is gone, so is Leopard. Jessica will join back the party and she talks
about the one that controlled over her was Darkness God - Lapthone. Looks like
this Lapthone has a thing to kill the descendant of the Seven Sages but that's
no surprise because the Seven Sages sealed Lapthone's Soul. Looks like all the
important person that have been killed by the Legendary Magical Staff are the
descendant of the Seven Sages. Now let's look for the Legendary Magical Staff.
Now go to Howard's house. He's in a room on Floor 1. Then attempt to head out.
A little scene will trigger then head out. Leopard that has the staff attacks
Cers, but when you show up, it ran away. Now go talk to Cers. Well, Sage Kupas'
descendant is dead. When Howard promt you with a choice, pick yes. Jessica will
learn two new spells: Begiragon and Mahyad. And we are off to find the Leopard.
We are going north again. There is an Inn and Church on the way. Once you are
done, continue to north. Enter the Tunnel and continue to north for a scene.
Out of the tunnel and it's a heavy snow storm outside. Mid way through, another
scene. You will end up in a house. Head up stairs and talk with everyone. At
the end, you will obtain Medy's Bag for this person named Grad.
As you got near Oknis, more scene. Explore around and when you are done, go
outside from the door at the bar. Enter the center house, go down stairs and
explore around. Talk around with people to find out he went to the Medicine
Garden to NW.
*Wondering why you can't buy Armor/Weapon here? Armor guy is day shift and the
Weapon guy is night shift. And finally, at the Weapon shop, you can buy a
Dragon Killer, a bit more powerful than the current Zombie Buster.
Make your way down, there is a way to left and right. Take the left to get the
map of this area. A note here, the Blizzard enemy here can sudden death your
guy, so make sure you got the MP and the guy to revive, or items. Open up the
map and the stairs to B2 is to NE. The path is pretty icy, so walk. On B2, open
up the map again. The stairs near gets you to 2 treasure chest. Once you are
done, go to the SW stairs. On B3, at the intersection, go left, icicles will
just fall down and block the path. Now go right, and continue to the stairs.
On B4, go right at the intersection. When you get pass an area where icicles
dropping down, wander around horizontally, that makes couple more drop down
and form a path. Continue along and cross that newly formed path. Continue your
way on, get close to the icicles to the right, that will trigger a scene. Pick
yes two times and you will be controlling your pet again. Make your way down
and another icicle will drop down. Now return. once you gain control, cross
that new formed path, examine the man there. Well well, this is Grad. Use the
bag from Medy on him. Then return to Oknis with him. As you leave the cave,
a bunch of wolves appear. You will end up fight 'Dozen Wolfen', yup, 8 of them
so don't bother going after them one by one, use all enemy attack magic, whip
and boomerang. After the battle, turns out the wolves are also controlled by
Lapthone's heart, he thought Grad is another descendant but Grad isn't. So the
wolves just left.
Once you are back, another scene. Now go down stairs and to the house under the
item shop. Go up and talk with the item shop owner. Now to his house. There is
a fat guy near his house, so it's easy to spot. After the scene, time to get
to Medy.
