Utawarerumono - Chiriyukumono heno komamouta
����������� �U��䂭�҂ւ̎q��S
for the Playstation 2
FAQ/Walkthrough (Shift-JIS encoding)
Author: "LTN / LegoTechnic" (legoshinigami@yahoo.com)
Version 1.01 (work in progress)
submitted: 11/6/2006
===============================================================================
This FAQ/Walkthrough is based on the Japanese version of "Utawarerumono" for
the Playstation 2 console.  It was released in Japan on October 26th, 2006.
This is a remake of the original Utawarerumono game by Leaf and Aquaplus
originally released for the PC on April 19, 2002.  The port to the PS2 was
largely done by the developer Flight-Plan.
Utawarerumono is a hybrid between a Visual Novel (VN) and a Strategy RPG (SRPG)
Official Japanese website for the game: http://www.aquaplus.co.jp/uta/
===============================================================================
This guide is intended to help people unfamiliar the Utawarerumono PC game to
play it (because I want more people to play this game).  It will also help
those who aren't completely fluent in Japanese, though it is expected that you
can at least read hiragana and katakana (if only for the Yes/No box that often
appears).  Utawarerumono is an equal part Visual Novel and Strategy RPG, so be
prepared for a lot of text and long inbetween battle dialogue.  Thankfully the
game is almost fully voiced, as only narration and internal thoughts are not.
This is NOT a story guide.  It is merely a gameplay guide with a summation
walkthru attached, and I will try to reduce spoilers to a minimum.  Because of
this the character section is at the bottom of the FAQ, as it is full of
spoilers, and characters are listed in the order that you recruit them.  If
someone else wants to do a crazy translation guide, be my guest.  This is
taking me long enough, and I have no intention of going that far.  If you have
any criticisms about my translations or something else in this guide feel free
to email me.
If you're only interested in the skill translations, then CTRL+F seek for them
using their table of contents number and title.  You will need to set the
language encoding of your browser to Shift-JIS to probably view the Japanese
characters, which requires you to have support for east Asian languages.
This FAQ is for GameFAQs, Gamespot, and Neoseeker use only.  Please don't
swipe it and post it hither and yon, crappy though it may be.  Feel free to
contact me if I made any mistakes.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. Saving and Loading (Options Menu)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pressing the Select button at any time brings up the Options menu.  The first
menu option is Save, which can be done anytime during the rest phase or at the
pre-battle setup menu, but not during battle or during cutscenes that take
place on the battle map.  Under it is Load, which can be used at any time.
The third option below Load will return you to the Title Screen.
Option Menu translated:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. Fast Forward
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you've already played the PC version of the game, or you for some reason
don't care about the excellent story, then keep in mind that the R1 trigger
button will act as a fast-forward for dialogue and events.  In fact, holding
down R1 will speed up almost everything, including character movement during
battle and cutscenes.  Very handy for getting those enemy turns to finish
faster.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4. Rest Phases
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rest Phases occur in between battles.  They basically consist of selecting
areas around your location for Hakuoro to visit, though don't worry about
missing important events.  You eventually get to see all events regardless of
the order you choose them.
Controls for Rest Phases:
Circle Button : Advance text, confirm selection.
X Button      : Remove/Restore text window (for CG viewing).
L2 Trigger    : Review Dialogue (lets you re-read previous windows)
R1 Trigger    : Fast Forward
R2 Trigger    : Advance Dialogue (lets you advance dialogue when reviewing)
Select        : Options Menu
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5. Skirmish Battles
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After stage 8 or so, a gate location will begin to appear during the Rest
Phases as the bottom-right location on the event selection map.  Selecting
this will take you to a random encounter where you can train your troops and
charge your meters. These missions can be done as many times as you want for
no loss in scenario time, so feel free to earn a little extra bit of stat
increases if you feel the need.
Skirmish Battles always have the following have a victory condition of "Kill
all enemies" and a loss condition of "all characters killed".
===============================================================================
II. Battle
===============================================================================
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Setup Screen
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Before battle you're given a setup menu where you select your characters to
sortie. Pressing the square button on this menu will allow you to equip items
earned in battle to characters. You start out with only some weak healing
items, but eventually you will gain a variety of stat boosting items, as well
as items that change your elemental affinity. Note that enemies also have
items, and will sometimes come at you with boosted stats. Stats that have been
boosted appear blue on the stat display. Pressing Start on the setup screen
will begin a battle, but remember that the setup screen is your last chance to
save.
*** Get in the habit of saving during the setup screen.  Sometimes it's the
only opportunity you get, as there aren't always Rest Phases after battle,
and you're not allowed to save during event scenes on the battle map. ***
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. Basic Gameplay
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Basic gameplay controls -
Circle Button   : Confirmation/Selection button
X Button        : Cancel Button
Square Button   : View entire battle map and turn order
Triangle Button : View a character's or enemy's movement or attack range
L1 Trigger      : Rotate the direction a character faces before ending their
turn.
R1 Trigger      : Rotate the direction a character faces before ending their
turn.  Also speeds up dialogue, events, and enemy movement
if held down.
L2 Trigger      : Cycles the highlighted character's display window between
Status, Items, and Equipments.  Works on enemies.
Lets you review previous dialogue.
R2 Trigger      : Makes objects transparent, so that you can see characters
otherwise obscured.
Select          : Options Menu
Battles take place on a typical square grid. Your character can move and
attack in one of four directions as they see fit. When in battle, more damage
is done to a character if they are attacked from the sides or from behind,
keep this in mind when positioning your units.  To view a zoomed-out version
of the entire map, simply press the square button during your turn.
When it is your character's turn to move, a blue movement grid is shown, as
well as their attack range which is shown in red. Obviously clicking a square
moves them there, or clicking an enemy in a red square enables an attack. If
you click the square the character is standing on after a move, then you will
instead be given an additional menu. The bottom option of this menu is always
"end turn", and the option above it is "use items" (in case you equipped a
useable item earlier). If a combo attack is available, then an additional 3rd
option will appear at the top of the menu. In addition, some characters have
4th options that appear at above this option as well (see character section).
When attacking in battle, you will eventually see a white circle zoom in on
your target. As your characters level they will gain extra attacks, and if you
press the circle button when these circles zoom in on the character, you will
trigger their extra attack. Some characters have only a few extra attacks, but
others (like Oboro) have a good many, and can have long button chains.
*** Note that the map cannot be rotated, but you can remove objects from the
field by holding R2.  Useful if you need to see someone standing behind a
tree or wall. ***
In order to view an enemy's movement range, highlight the enemy and press the
triangle button.  Press the button again to toggle between their movement and
attack range.  Very useful especially against mages.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. Turn Order
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Character turns come up based on an unviewable speed stat.  Some characters
are faster than others, and thus get to act on their turn more often.  At any
time during a battle, press the square button to bring up the map display.
Character and enemy turn order will be listed vertically on the right, so use
that to plan ahead if you so desire.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4. Elemental affinity
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In your character stat window you'll notice an elemental affinity on the
left. Certain elements do better against others, and will often give an
additional minor damage bonus or penalty when characters attack each other.
Earth symbol is a Brown Rock
Fire  symbol is an Orange Flame
Water symbol is a Blue Lightning Bolt
Wind  symbol is a Green/White Tornado
The Element Affinity Wheel goes like this:
Earth > Fire > Water(Lightning) > Wind > Earth
And yes, Lightning is considered to be the water elemental in this
game, as it is labeled as such in the tutorial.
In other words,
Earth is strong against Fire, and weak against Wind
Fire is strong against Water, and weak against Earth
Water is strong against Wind, and weak against Fire
Wind is strong against Earth, and weak against Water
Therefore if someone of the Fire element (like Oboro) attacked someone of the
Earth element (like Kurou), then Oboro would do less damage than normal and
take slightly more damage from Kurou.  Alternatively, if Oboro attacked
someone of the Water element (like Benawi), then he would do more damage than
normal and receive less damage from him in return.
Hakuoro is one of the few characters to not have an elemental affintiy.
Instead he has a question mark for a symbol.
In addition, you will run into Light (Holy) and Dark (Shadow) elements.
Holy gives a slight affinity to both water/lightning and wind and slight
weakness to fire and earth, while Shadow is the opposite.  However since the
characters with these affinities have such stupid-high natural magic defense
anyway, this doesn't really matter.  Light and Dark are weak to each other.
Light symbol is a White orb of light
Dark  symbol is a Black/Purple orb of dark
Magic spells cast by mages all have an elemental affinity as well.  In the
case of spells, the spell's element is the factor of how the damage will be
calculated, and not the elemental affinity of the caster.  If an Earth mage
casts a Lightning(Water) spell on a Fire character, then that character will
recieve slightly less damage than another Earth character.  Spells that you
can cast will all have an elemental symbol next to them informing you of their
affinity.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5. Special/Energy Meter and Combo Finisher
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Also in your character stat window you'll notice an HP bar, a special meter,
and your experience progression bar. The special meter increases with every
action you take, and when it is maxed you can perform an additional extra
attack during your combo (ie, if you can only do a 2-hit combo, the special
meter will allow you to do a third hit). If your special meter is maxed, then
at the end of your attack combo you'll see a red circle instead of a white
circle. Hitting the button for this red circle will trigger the extra attack
and consume your meter. Early in the game this is fairly bad, as an extra
attack does very little damage, and there are better uses for your special
meter.  However, if your character has progressed far enough that they've
learned all of their natural extra attacks, then the red circle attack will
enable a special combo finisher. These moves are excessively powerful versus
single targets and come complete with special cut-ins, but deplete the meter.
For instance, Teoro can learn up to a max of 3 attacks in a combo by level 7
or so. If he's level 3, then he only has 2 attacks available, and using the
special meter merely grants him a weak 3rd attack. However, if he's level 7
and has all three attacks available, then the special meter will grant a 4th
attack, which is one more than his max limit.  This fourth attack will deal
very serious damage greater than any other hit in the chain, and will look
awesome to boot. ;-]
The special meter may also confer subtle character bonuses in the PS2 game
depending on their skills.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6. Team Attacks
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Another use of the special meter is the Team Attacks. Team attacks are only
available when certain characters are all within a range of 2 squares of the
attacker, and they generally deplete 2/3 of the special meter from the attack
leader and 1/2 from all other members involved. The option for team attacks
appears when you select the character during its turn, and will appear above
the "use item" command. Team attacks all hit various area of effects and
confer status ailments, but they can only be triggered by the attack leader.
So as to keep spoilers minimal Team combos are listed in the character
section.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7. Items, Equipments, and Abilities
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Press the L2 button to cycle through a characters status window to see their
equipped item list, and then their abilities menu.  Characters can get items
from killing certain enemies, advancing to certain levels, and completing
maps.  New abilities/skills are earned as a character levels up, and are
unique to that character.
Enemies and objects on the battle maps often carry items as well which you
can view the same way.  When you kill these enemies, you sometimes get their
items at the end of the battle.  If you recieved an item, then a yellow
message will flash about the character's head to tell you "Hey, I got an
item!"  On many stages you'll find rocks, stick fortifications, fences, and
sometimes large boulders.  It is to your benefit to destroy these not only
for easy experience, but for the occasional item they might yield.
In addition, it's a good idea to scan your enemy's special ability screen,
as certain skills can cause numerous problems, such as status ailments and
boosted stats.  Most of the time it's a good idea to case a map for any
particularly nasty abilities ahead of time.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
8. Status Ailments
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note that if untreated, all status effects eventually wear off.  Their
duration is random for all characters, though they tend to last no longer
than three or fours character turns.
a. Poison - indicated by a little purple skull over your head.  Life will
decrease by percentage each time the character's turn comes up.
Poison cannot kill you, though it can reduce you to 1 HP.
b. Confusion - indicated by a dark swirly cloud.  Hallucinating characters
move erratically, and are not controllable, though they will
not attack others.  Eruruu's Fumiluir Honey will cure it, or it
will wear off.  Inflict enemies with it and laugh at them.
c. Stun - indicated by stars over your head.  Stunned characters will be
unable to act when their turn comes up.  Stun is cancelled when
the character is attacked.
d. Attack Down - indicated by a red arrow pointing down.  Eruruu's Attack Up
buff will appear as a red arrow pointing up.
e. Defense Down - indicated by a blue arrow pointing down.  Eruruu's Defense
Up buff will appear as a blue arrow pointing up.
f. Magic Defense Down - indicated by a green arrow pointing down.  Eruruu's
Magic Defense Up buff will appear as a green arrow
point up.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
9. Leveling Tips
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When leveling up your character's stats after a battle, it's most important
to focus on the attack stat, otherwise you will end up doing very little
damage in the end game.  Some characters have cheaper attack costs than
others, in which case you should take advantage.
However it is important to have a few good defensive units so that you aren't
overwhelmed.  A few units have low defense costs and good defensive skills, so
consider pumping up either their defense or magic defense and making them
impervious to physical or magical damage.
Generally you should always treat the attack stat with highest priority,
followed by physical defense and then magic defense.  Also look at costs, as
it's generally wasteful to spend 90 points on a single increase of magic
defense when that same character can increase attack for only 50.  Typically
physical frontliners need high physical defense with their attack, but ranged
fighters are often served better by having a higher magic defense and just
avoiding enemy archers (as they don't like to be hit).  Regardless, it's
important to make sure they can still hurt the enemy.
Note that the ATTACK stat increaes a character's effectiveness with spells.
This includes Eruruu's healing abilities, as well as your mages.
Character-based leveling recommendations are included in the Character
section if you feel you need additional advice.
===============================================================================
III. Skill list
===============================================================================

benefit from the Technique of Raging Fire than one with a low stat,
just as a character with the Divine Protection of Mua will gain more
benefit if their defense stat is higher.
Enemy units can not only have any of the above skills, but can also have any

V. Walkthrough
===============================================================================
This section is a walkthrough, and as such it contains quite a few spoilers.
I am not out to ruin the game, so story elements are left largely alone, though
most bosses are named.  If you prefer, you can take this up on a stage-by-stage
basis, but keep in mind that there ARE a good deal number of events that will
be spoiled in the walkthrough section.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Stage 1: �����ꂴ����� - The Uninvited Things
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Victory condition: All "Kimamau" are defeated (Kimamau = monkey things).
Losing Condition : Hakuoro or Eruruu is killed.
Party: Hakuoro, Teoro
An introductory stage, really.  Victory is obtained when all the monkeys are
dead.  Eruruu shows up on the far left after Hakuoro's third turn or so to
provide much needed healing, so try not to dash too far ahead before she gets
there.
* Completing this mission unlocks Scenario 2 (Attack Tutorial). *
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Stage 2: �r�Ԃ�X�̎� - The Wild Guardian Spirit of the Forest
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Part a:
Victory condition: Lure Mutikapa (the tiger) to the covered water trap.
Losing Condition : Hakuoro is killed.
Party: Hakuoro, Teoro, Eruruu
Enemy: Kimamau x5
Mutikapa
Obstacle x2
The goal of this mission is to lead the tiger to the highlighted trap (the
round covered pit in the center).  The monkeys are there to get in your way
and give experience, but you can ignore them.  You cannot actually kill the
tiger here no matter how you try (and it will trounce you).  Once the tiger
sets foot on the trap, you are whisked instantly away to the second half of
the map.
- Part b:
Victory condition: Mutikapa (the tiger) is defeated.
Losing Condition : Hakuoro is killed.
Try to position yourselves in such a way that Eruruu is always shielded from
attack, as it's very hard for her to run away from Mutikapa.  Also keep her
within healing range of Hakuoro and Teoro, so that they don't die miserably.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Stage 3: �� - War
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Victory condition: Open the Gate by reaching its switch.
Losing Condition : Hakuoro is killed.
Party: Hakuoro, Teoro, Dorii, Guraa
This stage introduces the archers Dorii and Guraa.  They cannot attack
enemies right next to them, but attack a decent range away.  Get a feel for
them, as you'll probably be using them a lot.
For this battle you need to reach the mechanism that opens the gate, which is
marked at the beginning of the map (a guard is standing on the square, and he
won't move from it even if you pelt him with arrows).  You must actually stand
on the square to complete the map.  Feel free to destroy the stick
fortifications for extra items and experience.
Once you reach the switch, you move on to the next stage.  Note that the only
chance you get to save in between is during the next pre-battle setup screen.
* Completing this stage unlocks the Scenario 3 (Archery Tutorial). *
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Stage 4: �߂�ʓ� - The Path of No Return
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Victory condition: Nuwangi and Sasante are defeated (both of them).
Losing Condition : Hakuoro or Oboro are killed.
Party Limit: All available
Oboro will join you on the first turn, and be under your control.
Both Sasante (fat guy) and Nuwangi (straw-head-guy) are fairly strong, and if
any of your characters get attacked by them with low life they'll probably be
killed.  Additionally, Sasante can initiate a team attack with Nuwangi that
will effect a 5 square plus-shaped area for high damage as well as inflict
a poison element (not cool!).  Fortunately they seem content to hang around
for a few rounds, so clean up as much as you can before they come after you
Note that Sasante also has the skill that increases the special meter of
allies standing next to him at the start of his turn, and that Nuwangi has a
skill that raises his attack as his energy rises.
If you prefer, you can actually lure Nuwangi far enough away that they never
pull off their team attack (as Nuwangi needs to be within a 2 square range of
Sasante), but if you do that then you won't be able to unlock it in the Event
Viewer.  As far the bosses go individually, Nuwangi is actually the bigger
threat.  Sasante has the worst movement range of any mobile character in the
entire game (range of 2), and can easily be soloed by either of your archers.
Also be sure to notice the first winged character sneaking along the upper-
left side of the map.  Winged characters are all mages, and they have good
range.  Additionally, all enemy mage units have a special ability to instantly
fill their special meters to MAX when at critical life.
The map ends when both Sasante and Nuwangi are defeated.
* Completing this stage unlocks Scenario 4 (Status Recovery). *
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Stage 5: �X�̖� - Daughter of the Forest
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Victory condition: Benawi and Kurou are defeated (both of them).
Losing Condition : Hakuoro is killed.
Party: All available
Mounted lizard riders, including Benawi and Kurou, all have an attack range
of 2 squares in any direction, so keep that in mind.  For this map, move up
once and then hang back so that they can come to you.  After a few turns you'll
receive some special reinforcements whose very presence will frighten the
lizards so much that their movement for the rest of the battle will be reduced
to a single square only.  Note that Benouwi has a leadership effect that
raises the special meter for all friendly units standing next to him.
This is actually the first stage that Team Attacks are available for you to
use.  If you feel so inclined, then give them a try.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Stage 6: �^�g�R���̊� - The Barrier of Tatokori
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Victory condition: Destroy the Gate and Fences (all of them)
Losing Condition : Hakuoro is killed.
Party: Field 6 total - Hakuoro, Oboro required (note that 6 is all you have)
* Teoro will be temporarily unavailable for this stage *
The goal here is to totally destroy the barricade, which means not only the
big gate but all the targetable fence pieces attached to it.  Once either the
gate or a piece of the fence is destroyed (there are three pieces), you'll get
a cutscene showing you what shenanigans Teoro was up to.  Once you've finished
destroying the gate and all three fence pieces, then Kurou will show up as an
enemy reinforcement.  Take him out to end the map.
Characters with the Mangle skill can destroy fortifications and fences almost
instantly, so consider them for the door.  While Teoro is unavailable, you
should have at least one other character with ths skill. ;-]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Stage 7: �k�����M - Nuwangi
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Victory condition: Defend the bridge (survive for ??? rounds).
Losing Condition : Hakuoro is killed.
Party: Field 6 total - Hakuoro, Eruruu required
You must defend yourselves for a certain amount of time against the ever
increasing horde of enemies.  Feel free to run up and fight the mobs for
experience and items, but be careful not to become overwhelmed.  If you want
to play it safe, turtle up on the bridge, though you lose a lot of time doing
this when you could be killing.  Team Attacks work excessively well due to the
large number of enemies grouped together here.
After a certain amount of time has passed, you get to battle Nuwangi again,
but he's all alone this time.  He's still fairly strong, but you shouldn't
have any problems with him.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Stage 8: �c�s�N�U - Capital Invasion
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Victory condition: Kurou is defeated.
Losing Condition : Hakuoro is killed.
Party: All available
This time you're on the offensive heading towards the capital, but once again
Kurou stands in your way.  Make use of the fortifications to bottleneck entry
points if you like, or destroy them for cheap experience.  Be mindful of the
troops in the alleys so they don't surprise you in the rear.  The stage ends
when Kurou is defeated.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Stage 9: ���� - Decisive Battle
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Victory condition: Benawi is defeated.
Losing Condition : Hakuoro is killed.
Party: All available
You're at the capital, but Benawi is guarding the palace gate.  There are a
lot of enemies spread about, so be careful and use those nicely placed
defensive walls for cover.  Benouwi won't move for a few turns, so use that
time to mop up as many of his troops as you can.  The stage ends when Benaowi
is defeated.
* Completing this mission unlocks Scenario 5 (Team Attacks). *
* Skirmish Set #1 is available during the rest phase *
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Stage XX: Skirmish Missions
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
From this point on, you'll occasionally see a gate area during the rest
phases down in the lower right corner of the room map.  Selecting these
initiate a random battle that you can use to train your troop or charge their
meter.  They're completely optional, but you can sometimes get nice items
from them.
* Teoro is no longer available for story missions, but can still participate
in skirmishes *
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Stage 10: �V�P���y�`���R�N�U�j�~ - Obstruction of the Shikeribachim Invasion
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Victory condition: All Woptars (lizards) are defeated.
Losing Condition : Hakuoro is killed.
Party: All available
The goal of this mission is to stop the lizards carrying the explosives
before they make it up the path.  The stage ends if the lizards all die,
regardless of whether or not you killed the soldiers.
Be mindful of the sword-using soldier with red armor, as he has skills that
boost his stats, making him a little stronger than normal.  This will be a
trend for all red-armored officers to come, so be sure to look out for them.
Afterwards enjoy the event.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Stage 11: ���U - Suicide Attack
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Victory condition: All enemies are defeated.
Losing Condition : Hakuoro is killed.
Party: Field 7 total - Hakuoro, Eruruu, Karura required
Just defeat all the enemies to win.  Make use of the traps to corral enemies,
and let them have it.
This map marks the first appearance of the high-ranking woptar lizard riders,
identified by their gold forehead protector (rather than silver one).  Like
their red-armored soldier counterparts, gold lizard cavalry have skills that
boost their stats and are much stronger than their troops.  In particular
watch out for their Penetration skill, which allows them to attack both the
