I. INTRODUCTION

AUTHOR'S NOTE
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi, welcome to my Suikoden 5 walkthrough. The last time I wrote a game
guide was about a year ago. Anyway, I had changed the format of my
guides to make it easier to go through for you guys. I am writing this
Walkthrough as I advance during my second play of the game so the guide
might get slow updates. The hero do talk a little more than the past
suikodens. I mean, he has like a response to a lot of things so
there'll be a lot of times when you have to choose from 2 responses.
Most of the time, it doesn't matter what you choose though. The guide
here should help you on those parts and on other areas of the game.
I'll be using ambiguous or vague terms so you can still enjoy playing
the game your way. I also wrote some quotes I find in the game. I kinda
think it's cool. With those things said, Enjoy!
If you want to contribute, comments or criticize, feel free to drop me
a mail at gylisgod@yahoo.com (gylisgod at yahoo dot com). All game
related questions that are already answered in the FAQ will be ignored.
I will try to make the FAQ as search friendly as possible. With those
said, that will be it for now. Thank You.

II. WALKTHROUGH
======================================================================
You won't be prompted to load the past Suikoden Clear File like it used
to. When you start a New Game, you are prompted to name the hero of
Suikoden 5. The option menu comes right after deciding a name for the
hero (you can change these options anytime in the game).
*I'll be referring to Hero5 as Hero in this guide.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Sol-Falena: Sun's Palace
----------------------------------------------------------------------
After the long scene you'll arrive in the Sun's Palace. There won't be
much to do here yet. Ferid will welcome your arrival and you'll be
presented with choices. You can choose any of the two choices. It does
not matter what you choose. The Queen will arrive a bit later. You'll
be given new choices. Again, it doesn't matter what you choose. After
the scene you'll have a flashback of Lordlake.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Lordlake
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Items: Escape Scroll, Medicine, Sacrificial Jizo
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You'll meet Talgeyl here. He'll tell you what happened here in
Lordlake. You will also gain control of your character. Familiarize
yourself with the menu, and controls. There is a save point near the
entrance of town. Save your game. You may talk to the townspeople if
you wish. Head down the road and enter the Clinic. You will meet with
the town's doctor and be given with another choice. Neither choice
would affect anything other than the response of the Doctor. The first
option is rather arrogant. The Doctor will treat you bad anyway.
You'll exit the clinic. Continue to the next part of the town. There is
a chest that contains an escape scroll to bottom part. Take it and try
to enter the mansion to the left. You will be prompted with another
choices. Choose any. Both option will have you check the inside of the
mansion anyway.
Inside, take the Medicine inside the chest. Exit to the other door and
you will be treated with another scene. There's a Sacrificial Jizo
there. You won't miss that chest's location so don't worry. There will
be a little problem with the townspeople. Run all the way to the 2 men
shown earlier. Talk to them. Both options would result you to helping
them. Exit the town to the south and enter the Withered Forest.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Withered Forest
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Items: Medicine, Mega Medicine
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Before you start looking for random battles, let's play with the
character's equipments a bit. Georg will be out of the part most of the
time and it would be a big waste to not make full use of his armors.
Unequip them all (maybe except his accessories). Give Georg's equips to
Hero. You can give Georg Hero's old equips. He will still be good with
not much protection from equipments.
Georg is a powerhouse in the game the only thing he's bad at is with
His MDEF. That's okay though. There's an armor you can get late in the
game ate in the game that can boost that stat a lot. All you have to do
is to limit the number of monsters Georg kills to like under 30. What
you should do is put Georg in the entourage every time he joins your
party. This will give more experience to lower leveled characters.
Don't worry about Georg as he would be away most of the time.
In the Withered Forest you get to fight Hairballs and Mad Dogs for
random battles.  Both monster drops Medicine1. Use the sort command in
the Item Menu to combine Medicine1s. This will help you save inventory
space.
Now, cross the bridge and go to the save point to save your game. Move
south then a little to the west. The road should branch out to two more
roads. The road to the left leads to a dead end. Take the right road
and you'll spot a sign post. From there take the south route for a
Medicine. Backtrack a bit and continue to the right. There should be
another road going south. Run south then right for a Mega Medicine.
Return to the upper road and continue going right.
You'll find a small pond there but the little boy isn't there. You'll
later find monster ganging up on him. You get to choose on another
option. Choose any, you'll end up helping him anyway.
You'll be fighting 3 Ulse Monsters. This will be a really easy fight.
Use Coop attack with Lyon and Hero and just have Georg and Lady
Sialeeds to attack. Focus your attack on one enemy and heal if
necessary. If you're fighting the Ulse monsters without Georg this'll
be a little tricky. Just keep on using Lyon and Hero's coop attack on a
single enemy. Sialeeds should keep on healing. Another scene will take
place after the battle and the flashback will end.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Sol-Falena: Sun's Palace
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Item: Dress, Refined Clothes, Scarf, Mega Medicine
----------------------------------------------------------------------
"True Loyalty means being able to speak openly about what you think is
right and what you think is wrong." - Ferid
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The scene continues till the present and you be given another choices.
Neither would affect anything so pick one. Then after a while you get
another choice. Again, choose any since it does not matter anyway.
After the scene you will be asked to look for your sister Lymsleia.
Georg and Sialeed will leave the party. Explore the castle a bit.
There's a save point if you exit to the south twice from the Audience
Chamber. Go up the stairs to the left and enter the door near it. The
first room is Sialeeds. You can mess with her maids a little there.
Enter Lymsleia's Room and talk to the Maid inside. She'll tell you that
Lymsleia went out looking for you.
Exit this part of the castle and run to the other side. Run down the
hallway and you'll find two nobles backstabbing Royalty. Kyle overhear
them. He'll scare both noble away and you get two choices. Just pick
one, Kyle will get answer the same way. Kyle will join you afterwards.
He'll tell you that it would be best to wait for her in the Knight's
Room.
Okay, with another Queen's Knight in our party, let's make full use of
his equipments. Unequip Kyle's armors and put it on Lyon. Equip Kyle
with Lyon's old armors. Before going to the Knight's Room run up the
stairs and enter the door to the far right. You'll find two chests
containing Refined Clothes and a Dress.
Run to the top floor to the Seal Room. You have to take the Spiral
Staircase. Learn all three options from the Chief RuneKeeper. After
doing so you may return to where you've met Kyle and enter the Queen's
Knight's Room. The other Queen's Knight is inside and they will end up
in a heated debate. Ferid will enter the scene. Kyle will leave the
party afterwards. Attempt to exit and Miakis and Lymsleia will come
barging in the room. There'll be a series of options presented and you
can freely choose any answer. It will only trigger different dialogues
and some are funny.
You'll be then asked to check out the list of those who'll be
participating for the Sacred Games. Kyle, Miakis and Lymsleia will join
the party. Exit the room and you'll bump into Sialeeds. She'll join
you after the short conversation.
You should unequip Miakis' Armor and equip it on Sialeeds. She cannot
equip her head gear though, but save it for someone else later. Exit
the palace. You may choose to save your game on the way out. The Senate
Hall is on the western part of the place. Before doing that let's find
some treasures first. Move to the right for a chest containing a Scarf.
Then go all the way to the west. There should be a Mega Medicine in the
chest beside the Senate Hall. Take it and you may now continue on to
the Senate Hall.
The guards will be surprised with the number of the party. You get to
choose from an option. Neither choice would make any difference. Enter
the next room and the senate will greet you. Exit to the other side.
Talk to the Official there and he'll say something about the clerk is
on recess. So a couple more exploring should be done. Take the stairs
going down and enter the room in the middle. There will be a scene
there with the head of the Barows family, Salum Barows. His son Euram
will grace the scene after a bit. Return to the Official again. He'll
say that he had asked someone to get the clerk now. He'll tell you to
wait a bit. Talk to the Nobles/Officials in the Senate Hall and talk to
him again. It may take a few times to ask him but he'll let you pass
after a while.
Inside, you get some more choices. It doesn't matter what you choose
again. Attempt to return to the Sun Palace. The bell will strike uh...
afternoon and you get to choose again. Lymsleia, Miakis and Sialeeds
will leave the party. You'll then be presented with another choice on
what to do. Choose any. You'll be prompted to explore town anyway.

There is a save point near you. You may choose to save your game. Let's
do some more treasure hunting before going to the Rune Shop. From where
you entered run down the stairs to the right and head to the
Blacksmith. You can upgrade your weapons to level3 there. Hero and
Lyon's weapons are your priority; upgrade them if you have some money
to spend.
A bit south from the Blacksmith is a Training Hall. With the little SP
you got from your first few fights won't be enough so there isn't much
to do there now. You need SPs to learn new skills or advance a current
skill a character have. You can also check their proficiency with
certain skills there. To the east of the Smithy is the Trading Post.
Their prices changes depending on the current market trend. Check the
Rumors to see what's happening. Buy Salt here if you have a little cash
left. We need a total of 6 for a future recruit.
Go down the stairs to the right of the trading post then a little to
the south. There's a Bandana in the chest there. You can explore and
talk to the people in this side of the town. If you're done backtrack
to the save point.
Now let's explore the western part. Run down the stairs and you should
find a woman in a white and green dress. You should spot a treasure
chest there. Open it for a Medicine. Move a little to the south to
another new area.
There is an Inn, a Tavern and an Item Shop here. If you move a to the
Tavern, you should be able to spot another treasure chest. Take the
Mega Medicine inside it. Near the tavern is an Armor Shop. You may
want to check it out. There won't be any useful armor yet.
After you're done shopping, head further west to the Rune Shop. The
Rune Mistress Kyle came for isn't there, too bad. You can do business
after the short scene. Though I don't think you'd have any money to
purchase any Runes yet. You can unequip Kyle's Water Rune though.
Exit the Rune Shop and there should be a commotion in town. Kyle will
run and check it out. You're presented with some choices.
[1] I'll check it out too...
[2] Okay, I'll wait
The first option leads you to trigger a battle against 6 thugs.
Choosing the second would not lead to any fight. If you picked the
first option it should lead to another option...
[1] Let's go break it up
[2] Let's wait for the patrol guards to handle it.
The first option triggers the fight so pick it. It shouldn't be that
tough though.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Thug (x6)
Battle Trophy:
Medicine1
The thugs on the back row can deal a bit more damage than the ones in
front. If you did what i told you to equip the Knight's armors on Lyon
and Hero, you would not even need to use healing. Basic attacks would
do. Use the Formation Skill to heal if you have to.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Return to the Sun's Palace.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Sol Falena: Sun's Palace - Ship Going to Stormfist
----------------------------------------------------------------------
There will be a rather light scene here with the Queen. Afterwards you
will be presented with some choices while talking to Lyon. Again, pick
any. After the scene, Lyon, George and Sialeeds will join your party.
There'll be another choice here and in the next scene, just choose one.
Exit south of the castle and keep going south to the Pier. You may want
to upgrade Sialeeds and Georg's weapons if you have enough money to
spare.
On board, the party would be talking to each other. Georg and Lyon will
sense something and will take a battle stance. You'll be attacked by
a lizard like monster.
After the scene, it should lead to a battle against a Zadom monster.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Zadom Monster
Battle Trophy:
Medicine1
Fire Sealing Pc1
Breath of Ice S1
Zadom has an attack that makes your character go berserk. Other than
that, it does not have anything worth worrying. It should go down with
just basic attacks. Lyon and Hero should not have much of a problem
if they have the Queen's Knights' armors equipped. Heal if necessary.
You can use the formation skill to heal if you do not want to use any
items.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Godwin Ships will come to aide you. After a few scenes you'll get to a
couple of choices. Just pick any. Sialeeds and the party will end up
suspecting Godwin anyway.

Gizel Godwin and Marscal Godwin will welcome your arrival. There will
be a choice there, pick any and you will end up exploring the Arena
anyway. Gizel will join your party. Enter the arena. The route going
south leads to empty seats. So move to the left. There will be a
cut scene with the Feitas Dragon Cavalry. You can choose whether to
meet them or not. You won't be able to meet them yet. If you choose the
first option, they'll be gone when you arrive at the bridge. Let's
continue. From where you stop, take the south route and exit to the
stands. It should trigger a scene with Euram. You'll get to see a
sparing match between Euram's champion, Zegai and Godwin's champion,
Childerich. Georg makes really interesting commentaries. Anyway,
return inside the arena. Exit from where you entered. Go down the
stairs and exit the Arena.
Outside, there are two chests waiting to be opened. One is in the north
west corner (Old Book 7) the other one is a bit south. It's rather
hidden. Just check the boxes near the barrels. You should find it. It
contains the Double Arm Tactics which is a little better than your
current Standard Tactic. Return to the Arena.
Enter the Infirmary. And attempt to go down stairs to the basement.
Godwin will stop you. Choose the top option to continue. Here you'll
learn about the harsh condition of Gladiators. Exit the basement after
the scene and exit the infirmary. Run past the stairs, then to the
south. Take the stairs that leads to the upper floor. Godwin will tell
you that this level is for the Royal Family and the Queen's Knights.
You can save your game in the Prince's Room if you want. Go down the
stairs and Sialeeds and Gizel will leave the party.
You can now explore town. Outside, there should be a scene with an
intelligent Leopard. Anyway, you can save your game here. Talk to the
man with the red hair. He's the one near the guards. There'll be an
option to choose from. Pick whichever. He'll introduce himself as
Gavaya. Go to the south western most part of the town for a chest
containing a Medicine. There's an Inn, and a Magic Hall in the western
part of the town too. Move to the eastern part for a scene. Pick any
option presented by Lyon and you'll meet Shoon. Shoon will tell you the
reason for following you. Georg will suggest discussing this somewhere
safe. Shoon will then join you.
Before we go to that safe place let continue exploring. There is a
Chest to the south containing a Bandage. Move to the 'New Part of
Town'. There is an Armor Shop there. Move a little right then south,
there is an Appraiser and an Item Shop there.
From the Armor Shop, run a little left then south and there should be
a Leather Hat there. There is also a Blacksmith there but he can only
upgrade till level 3. On the end of the western part of the town, there
is a chest containing a Bracelet. The Rune Shop is further to the west.
If you're done looking around, return to the old part of town and go to
the Inn. Shoon will tell you what he found out. You get some choices
again. After the scene, fetch Sialeeds from the Arena. When you meet
her, you'll have another options to choose and she'll join the party.
The items that people sell here are almost the same as the ones in
town. There's also a Trading Post and a Combat Hall NPC there. You may
want to buy another Salt here (that should make 2 Salts already, we
need 6). Compare the Sol-Falena and Stormfist prices and pick out the
one you'll earn the most profit from. Buy those you can make profit in
Sol-Falena.
Return to the inn. And pick the second option to continue. Shoon will
join your party. You may want to equip him with you any spare armor
during this mission and remove it afterwards.
In the sewer, there are snails and arrow bat monsters. Both have about
100 Hp and with the armors you have, they shouldn't do much damage. The
snail drops Medicine1 that can be useful later on. In the sewer, there
are locked doors that can be opened by stepping on pink squares.
Now, step on the pink square to open the locked door. Proceed to opened
door and take the chest containing an Antitoxin. Proceed north and
there should be a scene there. Egbert will introduce himself. You'll be
able to get him a later on. There'll be a choice there, just pick any.
Turn left on the bridge and north to open the door north of the room.
The other path here should lead to a Leather Armor. Go to the far end
of the room and open the chest for a Sacrificial Jizo. Back track to
the cross section (the one near the Leather Armor chest), the south
path leads to a shut door and a save point. Save your game. Head south
then west. Step on the pink square and continue to the door you opened
to the Arena. Shoon will be leaving when you enter the Arena so you may
want to unequip what you gave him. You can also do some more fighting
here to earn a little more money to spend.
If you're ready continue on to the Arena. You'll find the passage
leading to the cell. Move to the other side of the cell for the next
scenes. Pick the first option to run after the two Armes spy. Zegai
will just stay there anyway. You'll then be fighting when you surface
from the sewer.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Suspicious Man (x5)
Battle Trophy:
Medicine1
Nothing much to worry in this fight. Georg can easily take one enemy
with one hit. Heal if necessary.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
After the battle, you'll be in a cell with Zegai. Euram will come
running. Choose the second option. Shoon will leave the party. Exit the
cell and the Sacred Games will begin. You will then be prompted for the
ceremonial match. You'll get to experience the new duel system of
suikoden.
--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--

Go ahead and come at me - Guard

So whoever moves first loses - Guard
I won't let you get the best of me - Attack
Don't think I'm not good enough - Attack

Here come's another one... this time I'll do it right - Special
--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--
After the fight, Lymsleia will enter the scene. Miakis will join the
party as well. Run all the way back to the Royal Box. Save your game in
the Prince's Room. There'll be a couple more scenes that will take
place. More options in the scene just pick any.
After Belcoot's battle, Lyon, Georg and Sialeeds will join you. Attempt
to exit south for a scene. You'll meet Doctor Murad. Exit to the south.
There will be a pretty funny scene there with Nikea. Head to the far
western part of the town for a scene. Either choice leads to a fight.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Thug (x5)
Battle Trophy:
Medicine1
With Belcoot and Georg in the party, this fight is rather easy. Just
use normal attacks here. You can use Hero and Sialeeds coop attack to
damage all  enemies.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Belcoot will join you after the battle. Make your way back to the Inn
for another scene. Exit the Inn and return to the arena. You'll be back
in your room. Return to the Inn for another scene. You'll learn that
Marina was abducted. Belcoot will join you. Move to the New part of
town and exit to the south east gate. Save your game there.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Western Woods
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Items: Goose Tactics, Mega Medicine, Feather Ornament, Silence Orb
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Save your game. Follow the path Sialeed opened. There will be a fork
going northwest and east. Take the east to get the Goose Tactics inside
the chest. The northwest leads to the road you should go and eventually
you'll spot a chest there that contains a Mega Medicine. Continue the
path that leads to the back of the hut. You'll be fighting 5 Thugs
after the scene.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Thug (x5)
Battle Trophy:
Medicine1
Just use the same strategy as with the other thugs/suspicious men you
fought already.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
After the battle, head south. Trace the right side of the road to get
To the hidden chest. It contains he Feather Ornament head armor. Take
it then trace the left side of the road and you'll get to another trail
that leads to a chest containing a Silence Orb. That's about it here.
Exit western woods and a scene would take place right after.

"If death is my fate, then so be it" - Zegai
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You'll be back in the Inn. Exit the room and talk to Marina. Run down
the stairs and talk to Georg. Return to your room to rest. The next
day, Lyon will join you. Go down the stairs, Sialeeds, Georg and
Belcoot will join you. Return to the Arena. You can purchase a couple
more salt if you have spare cash. Go to the Royal Box to continue with
the Sacred Games' championship match. Godwin's Champion Childerich will
be up against the Kanakan Swordsman Belcoot. During the battle, there
will be something very strange about Belcoot. Childerich easily kicked
his weapon away and you get some option right before he delivers a
final blow.
[1] ....
[2] Stop the fight!
Ferid will stop the match if you pick first Option. Hero will throw his
trinunchaku instead if you pick second Option. It doesn't matter which
you choose though.
Rush to the infirmary to check on Belcoot. Go to the basement to where
Zegai is. Lyon will join you. Go to the cell where Zegai is. He'll
explain everything he knows. He'll have this speech about his death and
he'll be gladly accepting it. Tell him that you will not let that
happen (i think it's the top choice). Sialeeds will join you after the
scene. Go to the Queen's Room. Sialeeds will leave the party after the
scene.
The next day, speak with Ferid in the Queen's room. If you talk to the
Lady-in-waiting, there should be a pretty funny dialogue there with
Sialeeds. There are also a couple more things you can do before leaving
though you're not required to do so. Anyway, you can Talk to Lymsleia
and Miakis in their room. Talk to Dr.Murad in the Infirmary. Talk to
Shoon in the basement. Talk to Norma (the girl with the leopard,
Ernst). Marina and Belcoot are in one room in the Inn. Egbert should be
loitering around the eastern part of the town. If you're done with the
things you need to do, talk to Ferid and pick the 2nd option.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Sol Falena: Sun's Palace
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You! 'Hussies'!!! The Princes orders you to clothe yourself, hussy!!!"
-Lymsleia (talking to Jeane)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Sol-Falena Blacksmith
Can Upgrade to Weapon Level: 5
Level 2 Upgrade:  300 Potch
Level 3 Upgrade:  700 Potch
Level 4 Upgrade: 1500 Potch
Level 5 Upgrade: 3500 Potch
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The next day, Lyon, Miakis and Lymsleia will join you. Make your way to
the Audience chamber and Sialeeds and Georg will join you on the way.
You'll be asked to accompany Lym to the East Palace, then to Lunas for
the engagement rituals. Exit the Palace and there'll be a scene with
Kyle. He'll be ranting on why he wasn't assigned to accompany you.
You can visit the Rune Shop to get a first look at Jeane. You can equip
the Silence Rune on Lyon if you wish. The blacksmith here can upgrade
to level 5 now. Have Hero and Lyon's weapon upgraded to at least level
4. Try earning enough money to upgrade them to level 5 later. You'll
need to make them strong enough for a certain battle in the future.
Upgrade Sialeeds' after upgrading the two.
Buy some more salt in the Trading post. You should sell what you bought
from Stormfist here. The next trading post will be Raftfleet. You may
scroll down to check on their prices and decide which one to sell
there.
If you're ready exit southeast. The exit is south east of the Appraisal
shop.
In the world map, you could level your characters a bit. Here's a nice
little trick. Go to the Menu and put Sialeeds, Georg and Miakis in the
Entourage. Run around a bit for random battles. You can reach around
level 17 or 18 quickly. Switch one with another party member to level
him/her up. You can easily have a level 20ish party here(and earning a
little money/items on the way). The Armadillon drops Sunbeam Pieces,
score 4 of it and have the Rune Shop assemble it for you. A Sunbeam
rune is uber early in the game. The Gold Bunny sometimes drops Counter
Orbs. The Hairball monsters come in groups. The White Hairball is the
toughest so you may have to use coop attack to finish it right away.
There's also a small chance of encountering a monster named Peckles.
He most of the time drops Power Pc1, Marbled Beef and a Leather Cape.
The Leather Capes gives a pretty good defense boost.
You can always return to Sol-Falena to heal or restock on healing
items. If you're ready proceed to the Eastern Palace.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
East Palace
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Items: Sunbeam Piece, Arrowhead Tactic, Glass Slippers, Cape, Cheesecake
Sleep Orb
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Save your game. Keep going southeast and you'll spot a chest containing
a Sunbeam Piece. A house in the west part has a chest containing the
Arrowhead Tactic. Move to the north western part of the place for a
chest containing a Glass Slippers. The chest due north east contains a
Cape. From there, move a little to the south and talk to the Official,
she'll give you a Cheesecake. Take the path to the right, the sleep orb
should be on the end of the trail.
Enter the Rune Room now for more scenes and choices. Exit the East
Palace and head north to Lunas. You can access Raftleet and the
Rotating Bridge but they can't do anything there yet.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Lunas
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Items: Jewel Necklace, Defense Ring, Old Book 5, Juice, Water Orb,
Magical Piece
----------------------------------------------------------------------
There'll be more scene and choices here. Isato will join the party.
Save your game and continue to the right. You should go and meet the
Oracle in the Oracle's Conclave. There will be a couple more scene and
choices here.
Unequip Isato's Sacrificial Jizo and Mega Medicine. Sacrificial Jizos
are a bit expensive so this way can help you save a little. Anyway,
open the two chests outside the Conclave. One is a Jewel Necklace and
the other is a Defense Ring. Head down and turn right. The middle room
has a chest that has the Old Book 5. Talk to the man inside the door to
the left for a Juice. Then move to the lowest level for a scene. The
first of two doors from the left contain a Water Orb and a Magical
Piece. Take them and return to the Conclave for some more scenes and
choices.
Take the stairs up for another scene and choices.
[1] We'll go with you.
[2] All right.
If you choose first option, you'll be entering into the Northern
Forest. The second option prompt you another choice.
[1] On second though, let's go with him.
[2] I'm sure he'll be fine.
If you pick first option you'll run after him. You'll spot Lun and Logg
trying to get their hands on Lunas' Gold Dusts. You'll then return to
the Conclave afterwards. If you pick second option, you'll end back
at the Conclave and almost the same scene would take place. Head up the
stairs and enter the door to the far left and sleep.
Lyon, George and Sialeeds will join the party. Lymsleia and Miakis will
head back to Sol-Falena. Lun and Logg will join you. The brown terrain
outside Lunas has high chance of Ulse and Armadillon encounter. Ulse
drops Boost orb pieces. You can use this chance to collect the
remaining sunbeam orb pieces you need. Anyway, Head to the far south to
Raftfleet to continue.

There will be a little scene here after that let's start exploring.
There is a save point there so save your game first. Let's start with
the one that is the nearest. Enter the Trading Post. Talk to Sairoh
then check out the Trading Post NPC and do business if you bought
something from Sol-Falena. You should earn a good amount of profit
from it. Here are the Raftfleet Trading Post prices.
From the save point move to the left for the Inn. There's a chest
nearby it contains a Thunder Piece. Return to the save point area and
head north then right. Enter the house and exit to the other end. There
is a Fire Sealing Piece inside the chest. Backtrack and take the right
route then north to the appraisal shop. Exit and continue to the next
room. It should have two doors. Take the one with the red arrow
pointing north. Move to the right then to the Rune shop to attach the
sunbeam orb if you've completed one. Equip it on Hero.
Exit and go to the Blacksmith. Exit south and continue on to the next
room and take the left exit for a Silver Robe. Backtrack and take the
north route to the Armor Shop and Item shop.
If you go to the Item shop and exit the other end. There is a woman
that would give you a Fish Badge. Backtrack outside the Blacksmith and
take the route to the south, there are Mega Medicine and Sacrificial
Jizo.
Backtrack all the way to the room where you took the north door and
take the door with the blue arrow to the Dahak. Head up the stairs and
save your game. Go down the other stair opposite of the save point.
Head up the stairs and go left for a Flowing Piece and the Old Book 1.
Go back and take the stairs going up for a scene and choices. Logg and
Lun will leave the party.
Time to return to Sol-Falena. Before you do you should prepare Lyon,
Sialeeds and Hero for a tough battle to come. Sharpen their weapons to 5
Equip them with the best possible armor. Attach runes. Level them to
19-20. Upgrade their skills. Equip the three with Leather Capes and
Sacrificial Jizo. That should be enough. Return to Sol-Falena. If you're
done with the preparations go to the Sun's Palace.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Sol Falena: Sun's Palace
----------------------------------------------------------------------
After the scene. Sialeeds and Georg will leave the party. Head to the
Queen's Room. Enter from the audience chamber. After the scene return
to the Prince's room and rest. You can talk to Dr.Murad on the way,
he's in the hallway going to the Knight's guard room. Rest in your
room. After some more scenes, Sialeeds will join the party. Talk to
Ferid and choose the 2nd option.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Assassin
Battle Trophy:
Medicine1
This one is an easy fight. Just use Lyon and Hero's coop attack. With
the preparation you had. It should go down after two or three coop
attacks. Just heal if necessary.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
After the scene save your game and head down stairs. There should be
random battles here. You may use it to gain a few more exp before going
down. Just be sure you're fully healed before you go down stairs. Equip
Sialeeds with Clay Guardian and Medicines before going. She'll serve
as the party's support.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Childerich, Dolph
Battle Trophy:
Prosperity Piece
If you prepared like I told you this should be an average battle. Dolph
is weaker PDF-wise than Childerich, but has better MDF than him. Dolph
has an attack that can deal damage to everyone in the party. Childerich
has a strong physical attack and has a nice speed. He should be faster
than Hero and Sialeeds. Dolph and Childerich focuses on a weak front
line character so you better heal right away.
At the beginning of the battle, Sialeed should use Clay Guardian. This
should pretty much lower the damage you'll receive from the two. Lyon
and Hero should keep on using Coop Attack on Dolph. Since Dolph is
weaker PDF-wise he should go down really soon.
Lyon and Hero should focus on dealing the damage. Sialeeds should focus
on healing and re-casting Clay Guardian. The battle should be a lot
easier after defeating Dolph.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
After the battle, Kyle and Zegai will enter the scene. Kyle will help
you escape. You'll return in your room and after the conversation,
Zegai will join you. Attempt to exit and Sialeeds will suggest you to
go to the Knight's room. You'll bump into Georg when you go outside and
you'll learn about the Queen and Ferid's sad fate. Move to the the
Knight's room after the scene.
You'll be riding off to the Eastern Palace. The next morning you'll
decide to go to Lunas. Georg will join the party.

Lunas

"A sword not in use should be sheated. Otherwise, the blade will rust
and dull" - Zegai
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Isato will join you when you arrive. Head to the Oracle's Conclave.
After the conversation with Oracle Haswar go to the 2nd floor and enter
the room to the far left to rest. Hero will have flashbacks with the
memories the Queen and Ferid left him.
The next morning, go down stairs and enter the room where you talked
with Haswar. There will be another scene. Isato, Lyon, Sialeeds, Georg
and Zegai will join the party. Exit left. Talk to the cleric by the
save point for a Medicine. Exit to Lunas North Woods. After the scene
just keep running to the right till the exit. Isato will leave
the party afterwards.

Piece there. There's a Wind of Sleep S3 inside the Inn too. Go down the
stairs and run south. There's a Window Set 3 there. You can enter the
