Intro [INTRO]
-------------
Hello, and welcome to my second guide. I'm making this because I noticed a
common misconception floating around the Message Boards at Neoseeker (my
preferred Message Board), and was hoping to correct it. However, I figured it
would be a lot easier to simply write a new guide (since there's no Seven Star
Swords FAQ) to make sure the information is seen. So, without further ado,
here's the guide.
---------------------------------------
What Are The Seven Star Swords? [WHAT?]
---------------------------------------
The Seven Star Swords are special weapons for Jaster. Most of the regular
weapons have 5 levels to them; the Seven Star Swords only have 4. They also
tend to be more powerful than most of the other swords at that level. The two
main problems are getting them and upgrading them. Upgrading is easier than
obtaining, but because of the misconception on Neoseeker, I'm including a
detailed section on that as well.
As a general note, I'm also going to include information on the following
weapons:
Libra King's Sword
Zeo Sychros
Sword of Sin
Dorgenedge
None of these swords are actually Seven Star Swords, but they all operate on
the same principles, so I'm including them for convenience's sake.
-------------------------
The Misconception [MISCN]
-------------------------
Since I'm making this guide to correct a misconception, it's only fair that I
tell you what that misconception is.
Basically, it is generally believed that the way to upgrade a Seven Star Sword
from Level 1 to Level 2, and Level 2 to Level 3, is to combine it with another
sword that has a higher Level than the Seven Star Sword. To get it from Level
3 to Level 4, on the other hand, requires that you combine the sword with a
particular sword.
This theory is false. Why? Because the Seven Star Swords don't level up when
combine with a sword with a higher level. If they did, combining the Desert
Seeker with a Ridge Cruser would result in the Desert SeekerII. However, if you
actually combine a Desert Seeker with a Ridge Crusher, you get the Desert
Seeker, and lose the Ridge Crusher.
In order to level up a Seven Star Sword, you have to combine it with a sword
that has an attack that is equal to or greater than a certain number.
Unfortunatley, this relationship is near impossible to see just by playing the
game.
So how did I see it? Simple. I bought the Guide with the game. The offical game
guide from Double Jump Books has a chart in the back that tells the results of
every weapon combination in the game. Swords are listed in order of attack
from lowest to highest (with the exception of the Seven Star Swords and the
other 4 special swords), making the relationship obvious, if you stop to think
about it.
---------------------------------------
Obtaining the Seven Star Swords [OBTIN]
---------------------------------------
In order to avoid confusion, this section only covers how to get the Seven Star
Swords. The other 4 will be detailed in the next section. This is done for 2
reasons. First, to show which weapons are Seven Star Swords, and which are
special weapons. Second, I've already typed 'Seven Star Swords' in at least 2
different places, and I don't feel like changing it.
---------------------
Desert Seeker [SEEKR]
---------------------
You can't miss the Desert Seeker. Literally. If you don't get the Desert Seeker
at the beginning of the game, take your disc back and get a new one.
-------------
Ixion [IXION]
-------------
In order to get the Ixion, you need to make it in the Factory. This means you
need to get the Blueprint. In order to get it, you'll have to talk to Agissimo
in the Spaceport on Rosa (Chapter 8 or later. This is when you have to get the
3 Key Pieces from the ruins on Rosa, Juraika, and Zerard). After that, head to
the church and talk to a woman named Misanna. As long as you've talked to
Agissimo, she'll give you the Blueprint.
Once you've gotten the Blueprint, you'll need the following materials:
15 Revolva Alloy
4  Izerium
3  Seventhmoon
1  Edensia
-----------------
Cosmolore [COSMO]
-----------------
In order to get the Cosmolore, you need to talk to 3 people on your jaunt to
the Ancient Ruins scattered around the galaxy. They are:
Nico - Cancer King's Ruins. From the Orphan's Hideout, head to the North-East
(upper right) corner of Area 1. Nico's in the farthest corner.
Mesod - Path to the Ruins. From the 'Endpoint' Teleporter, head East (right).
Mesod is in the second square you pass through.
Silma - Gladius Towers. He's on the 3rd floor of the first tower. I can't
remember which tower you have to enter through to get to him, but he's
on the northern side of Tower 1's First Floor.
Once you've talked to them, head to the Dorgenark and talk to Carraco in the
control room.
Head back to the hall leading to the southern elevator that takes you to the
lounge of the Dorgenark, but don't take it. Instead, go through the door just
East of the Elevator. Check the Monument on the wall for the Cosmolore.
--------------------
Great Caesar [GCAES]
--------------------
Head to Item Shop Corbis on Vedan after getting a Platinum License. You will be
able to buy the Annals of Hades; do so, then talk to Rodullier (he's inside the
shop). Now, head to Rosa and teleport to Ruins -> Endpoint and head towards the
Great Tablet. After exiting the tunnel, you'll cross some open sand as you
approach an arch. Before going through the arch, look on the right side and
you'll see Elderly Man. Talk to him, and when he asks if you're looking for
'Shisa', tell him no. He'll give you the Great Caesar.
----------------------
Pride of Kings [PRIDE]
----------------------
After reaching Johannasburg, talk to Ulbor outside the church in Salgin. Head
into the church to find a new chest. Inside is the Pride of Kings, but you need
the Star Key to open it.
----------------------
Duke Nightmare [NIGHT]
----------------------
In order to create this sword, you need to combine swords using Toady. This is
most easily done after reaching Mariglenn, since the weapon vendor Narcissus
sells one of the weapons you'll need. Buy the following items from the
indicated Weapon Vendors to get things started.
Alexander - Rant, Zerard
Plain Edge and Gustbringer - Mohandis, Rosa
Spirit Calibur - Kayo, Vedan
Adamon Raiser -Narcissus, Mariglenn
Now, after each weapon is mastered, combine them as follows:
Alexander + Plain Edge = Alex Impulse
Alex Impulse + Spirit Calibur = Demon Rouser
Gustbringer + Adamon Raiser = Majestic Halo
Majestic Halo + Demon Rouser = Duke Nightmare
--------------------
Pegasus Lord [PLORD]
--------------------
After reaching Mariglenn, head to Rosa. In the entrance to the Labyrinth,
you'll find a woman named Kyralil Bell. Talk to her twice and she'll send you
into the Labyrinth to find her partner, Blaster J. Blaster J can be found in
one of several locations; either in a side hall before the Maze of Chaos
teleporter, in a room after the Maze of Chaos teleporter, or in the room before
the final teleporter in the Ancient Ruins. When you find him, talk to him to
get the Pegasus Lord.
--------------------
Other Swords [OTHER]
--------------------
This section details how to obtain the other 4 Special Swords.
--------------------------
Libra King's Sword [LIBRA]
--------------------------
The Libra King's Sword is gotten as a storyline event when you first enter
Gladius Towers. It doesn't matter which Tower you enter first, as you'll get
the sword in either one.
-------------------
Zeo Sychros [ZSYCH]
-------------------
Another Storyline event, the Zeo Sychros is obtained on Mariglenn by getting
the eight Drigellums. They will automatically be combined into the Zeo Sychros
for you.
--------------------
Sword of Sin [SOSIN]
--------------------
The Sword of Sin is located in the Ghost Ship. After fighting the Individer,
look around the room to find the chest containing it.
------------------
Dorgenedge [DORGN]
------------------
The Dorgenedge is obtained by defeating the Ghost Ship.
---------------------
Upgrade Chart [UPGRD]
---------------------
The following chart details the Weapon Thresholds for upgrading a weapon listed
in this FAQ. This will allow you to quickly decide if a weapon you have in your
inventory will allow you to upgrade your Seven Star Sword/Special Weapon. Note
that the sword mentioned is not the only weapon you need in order to upgrade
the weapon; it's merely the first weapon that will result in an upgrade. If you
have a weapon that has a higher attack power than the named weapon, then you
can use that weapon instead of the named weapon to upgrade your weapon. For
example, when upgrading the Desert Seeker, using a Core Breaker instead of a
Shining Blazon will still get you the Desert Seeker II.
