I. Introduction
Ephemeral Fantasia is one of my favorite RPGs for the PS2 along with Okage:
Shadow King. It's a really fun game for me. I love running around and collecting
partners! Sadly, I have not seen much information for Beak and Fang, two of the
optional characters in Ephemeral Fantasia. So.. I decided to write a guide for
them.
The purpose of the Beak and Fang FAQ is to help you with any problems concerning
Beak and Fang. You may not like searching through FAQs and getting some parts of
the story spoiled (it happened to me) when you are searching for just how to get
Beak and Fang. Maybe you think you missed out on getting them or just Fang or
whatever. I hope this guide will serve of use to you for those questions and
more. ^_^
Revision History:
Version 1.2: Beak's "Holy Wave" has been added; prerequisites have been
finalized, so to say. Corrected a few errors and added in some minor details.
All I need to do now is get the weapon shop upgrade prices unless anyone else
has something else they think should go in here.
Version 1.0: Everything you see here. I need to play through Ephemeral Fantasia
again and find out some prerequisites for abilities and that'll be about it. I
also want to get weapon upgrade prices.
---------------------------------------
II. How To Get Beak and Fang
You can start getting Beak and Fang as soon as you have:
1) Kyte on your side
2) Celestial Road/access to Celestial Village
3) 10,000G
##ATTENTION!## You CANNOT do this if you have proceeded too far in the game for
getting Gallhint! If you have passed doing the alter-dimension thing that
Xelpherpolis sends you to after Gallhint fights back against him, you cannot get
Beak and Fang!
A. The short, brisk steps to getting Beak and Fang are:
1) Meet Kyte on the fourth day of the week after noon at the north shore which
is (from the bottom-most left corner) two map pieces to the right; five up.
2) Go to the Celestial Village the next week
3) Spend 10,000G to ride a falcon to a far-off island
4) Go through dungeon
5) Fight a boss to get Kyte back
6) Leave dungeon before time runs out
7) Progress through game
B. The much more detailed steps to getting Beak and Fang are:
1) Meet Kyte on the fourth day of the week after noon at the north shore which
is (from the bottom-most left corner) two map pieces to the left; five up.
2) The next week, head to the unknown celestial village. If you have not been
here before, it is (from the bottom-most left corner) four map pieces to the
right; seven up. To get into the true city with the celestial people, you need
to play the song Celestial Road in front of the big white tree.
##Where to obtain Celestial Road: Go to the Woodcutters' Village and speak to a
man near the lift about fixing the lift! Once the lift is fixed, there will be
another guy near the lift who will give you the sheet music for Celestial
Road!##
3) Speak to everyone in the village and look at the well in the center of the
village.
4) Speak to the old man inside the house next to a shed. He will offer you a
falcon to ride to the Ghoul Island where Kyte is. The price is 10,000G. Accept
it!
5) When you go to the island, it will be only Mouse there in the party. The
enemies are very easy and give out lots of money.
6) Proceed through the dungeon (steps for the dungeon below), fight the boss,
and come back
7) Watch the sequence and choose to rename or not rename Beak and Fang
8) Progress through the game

III. When Beak and Fang Come In
WARNING! Some spoilers are ahead.
Beak:
He is the first one to come in. He comes in after you do the alter-dimension
sequence Xelpherpolis sends you to. When you return from there and do the scene
with Rummy, it is suggested you go back to the inn. Go back to Rinna's inn, just
like suggested. Beak will be upstairs waiting for you. Note - Beak will now
lounge on your bed in the inn when he is not in the active party. You will have
to now start sleeping in the bed closest to the door.
Fang:
Fang comes in pretty late. When you are fighting the true Twinboom at Bird
Statue Park, a flute will be heard playing. The battle stops, and Fang will make
his entrance. One of the party members in your group will be replaced by Fang,
and the fight with Twinboom will continue. Note - If you have Beak in the party
when he comes in, you'll get to see a neat little scene with Mouse, Beak, and
Fang playing their instruments before going to fight. The Golden Three are back
together! ^_^
---------------------------------------
IV. Beak and Fang's Weapon Upgrades
Beak:
Beak's weapon is the Geoblade. It can be upgraded twice at the same place as
Mouse's. It is (from the bottom-most left corner) five map pieces to the right;
two up. It is around the bottom left corner of the map piece.
Fang:
Fang's weapon is the Morning Dragon. It can be upgraded three times at the same
place as Bagoth's. It is (from the bottom-most left corner) two map pieces to
the right. It is at the center of the far-most right side of the map piece.
