++ INTRODUCTION ++
In a land torn by war, a peasant girl finds herself in the possession
of a mighty armlet, which allowed her to wield mystical powers to
fight darkness. After witnessing the destruction of her solitary and
peaceful village by monsters and enemy soldiers, she set out on a
journey to find what was lost and restore peace to the land.

| PSP. Due to a lot of games out there for every console, it is      |
| really hard to choose a game to cover. Jeanne D’ Arc for the PSP   |

| games I’ve played for the last year.                               |
|                                                                    |
| Tile-based strategy RPG is not a common genre nowadays and this    |

| responsible for the PS2 hit (which I wrote a major guide as well)  |
| Rogue Galaxy. The anime style cinematics and greatly detailed      |

In this section of the guide, you will learn the basics of gameplay
and combat. The game is not that challenging and the learning curve to
grasp the basics just takes less than an hour in average. Seasoned
strategy-RPG players may wish to read through some pointers to know
what to expect from the game.
GAME OVERVIEW................................................TRC000
Jeanne D’ Arc is a tile-based, strategy-RPG game. What does that mean?
Well, tile-based since each stage is divided into squares or tiles,
similar to a chessboard. Your characters can move over the tiles,
depending on their range, obstacles and ground elevation.
It is basically a strategy game with the essence of RPG. Common
aspects of strategy-RPG games include fixed locations that players can
travel via the world map, intermission dialogs and cutscenes, plots
are divided into chapters and there is no free navigation in towns or
shops. In case you are not familiar with these, you will know more
when you start to play the game.
WORLD MAP ...................................................TRC001
Missions are pretty straightforward since you will be told where to
head next. Further stages will be unlocked after clearing missions.
From time to time, FREE COMBAT stages will appear. These are free
stages which rewards you with rare items upon clearing. Be warned
though, enemies on free stages may be higher than your current level,
the first time you visit the free stage.
After completing a stage, you can go back to some of the stages you
cleared to train your characters and earn more items, skills stones
and gold.
If you forgot what you’ll need to do in a mission, just press SQUARE
to display your objective. If the town has a shop, press TRIANGLE to
enter the shop. If the stage has our objective or free combat, press
X.
SHOPS.......................................................TRC002
Shops are accessed directly accessed from the MAP. Most of their
stocks are fixed and oftentimes, newer shops have better items of
course. You can use the gold you have acquired during your battles to
spend for your supplies and equipment.
The good thing about your shop menu is that you can scroll through
your available characters and equipment, showing the stats bonuses
available for them. Skills stones are also available from the shop,
though they only sell common ones.
OUTFITTING...................................................TRC003
Maintaining your party’s equipment, skills and supplies are essential
for survival. Check your party’s status often by outfitting. This can
be accessed anywhere in the World Map or before you enter the
battlefield.
During this screen, you can change weapons, armor and SKILL STONES.
Each character has their own weapon specialization. This will be
displayed under the character’s name. Hence, a character specializing
in using an Axe cannot wield a sword and so on.
There is a triangle that indicates the elemental affiliation of the
character. Basically, it tells which element a character or enemy
strong and weak against. In this example, the enemy doesn’t have any
elemental affiliation. There are only three elements in the game.
SOL (SUN)      – Element of fire
LUNA (MOON)    – Element of Ice
STELLA (STAR)  – Element of Wind
As you can see in the arrows, LUNA is strong against SOL, SOL is
strong against STELLA and STELLA is strong against LUNA. Understanding
this concept is pretty simple. A SOL character attacking a STELLA
enemy can deal more damage than attacking a LUNA or another SOL target.
STATUS
====================
Below is the basic rundown and brief explanation of the character
stats:
LV       Indicates the character’s level. Max level is 99
EXP      Indicates how much EXP the character has acquired. Once it
reaches 100, the character gains a level. Any excess will be
carried over.
HP       Health points; when characters level up, a fixed amount of HP
is added to their max HP. Note that different characters gain
different amount of HP when leveling up. Axe wielders gain
the most HP during level up while the magicians and archers
gain the least.
MP       MP is automatically recovered, based on the character’s max
MP every turn in battle. The maximum amount of restored MP is
set to 50 per turn. Since MP is only recovered this way and
battles always start with characters on 0 MP, don’t be
surprised to find no MP during the status screen.
ATTACK   This is also obvious. The higher score on this stat, the
greater damage you can deal.
DEFENSE  Determines your physical damage resistance rating
ACCURACY Increases the chance of hitting an enemy
WALK MOV Determines how many tiles/squares you can move over during
battles.
MAG ATK  Increases damage on magic-based attacks
MAG DEF  Determines your magic damage resistance
EVADE    Higher score means better chances of evading/ guarding enemy
attacks
CRITICAL Increases the odds of dealing critical damage when
attacking.
SKILL STONES...................................................TRC004
Skill stones play a great role in every battle, even turning the tide
to your favor. Characters can have a maximum of 6 skill slots. They
are categorized to four types, each with its own power and effect. The
RARITY (number of stars) of the skill determines how powerful and rare
the skill is. Also, note that you can’t equip two of the same kind of
skill stones.
COUP DE GRACE
-------------
These stones enable your character to use special attacks. Special
attacks vary from weapon to weapon. I recommend having at least two
special attacks with different attack ranges to suit different battle
conditions. Special attacks consume MP. Higher leveled Coup De Graces
consume a lot more MP, enabling you to activate them after several
turns.
INNATE ABILITIES
----------------
These are passive skills that are active for the whole duration of the
battle. They don’t consume MP and they have different benefits. Having
at least one of these on your skill slot will never hurt.
MAGIC
-----
Magic stones allow your characters to cast offensive, support and
healing spells. Anybody can equip and cast magic stones. Activating a
magical stone skill consumes MP.
SUPPORT
-------
They add different stat bonuses and automatic support while equipped.
Elemental stones (Sol, Luna and Stella) are under this category as
well. Similar to Innate stones, support stones does not consume MP.
Remember that different characters have their own strength, weaknesses
and limitations so keep that in mind when equipping skill stones. With
proper planning, you can patch off some of their weaknesses without
affecting your chances of success. For example, equipping a magician
or an archer with HP +300 skill will greatly boost his/her chance of
surviving a melee attack. Or equipping Mobility +2 skills to your
short ranged tanks.
SKILL BINDING..................................................TRC005
Skill binding is one of the very important features in the game. It
allows you to forge skill stones and forge them into a much powerful
version. Bonded skills are lost forever so save often before binding.
One good feature of the game is that it saves the formula you used to
create the skills, so that you can review the raw stones needed to
create a stone you want.
Remember that NOT all skills can be acquired by skill binding. Some of
the rare and hard to find ones can only be stolen from enemies or if
you’re lucky, get them as an item drop.
For the complete formula of all skills, I recommend checking Sam
Travis’ (TrueBlade85) Skill Binding faq on Gamefaqs:
(http://www.gamefaqs.com/portable/psp/file/934454/50137)

In this section of the guide, you will learn the basics of the game’s
battle system. If you have played a strategy game before, you should
be familiar with the mechanics already. If not, read through this
section to learn more.
PRE-BATTLE/ OUTFIT ..........................................CBT001
It will be unwise to jump into battle without preparation. When
entering a combat stage, you will always have the chance to prepare
your character’s equipment and skills before putting them in the heat
of the battle. If you plan to save, SAVE YOUR GAME ON A SEPARATE FILE.
This is to prevent you from messing up your game because of an
unwinable battle.
DEPLOYMENT ..................................................CBT002
This is the actual deployment of your characters on pre-selected
starting points in the stage. The maximum number of party members that
can be deployed will be displayed on the upper right corner of your
screen. In most of the battles, Jeanne will be one of the default
combatants.
Initial deployment of your characters can be very important,
especially in battles where the party is surrounded, as shown in the
image above. It is common knowledge already that “tanks” or characters
with sturdy defense and high HP should always be in the frontlines.
Axe-wielders and swordmen are the common choices as tanks. Thieves and
spearmen can stand as rear-guards or rear support. Spellcasters and
archers should always be at the back.
In some cases that the starting points are pretty much spread out,
consider the characters that can take care of themselves and how soon
can they get to each other’s support. You wouldn’t want to put in your
archer in the middle of enemies while your fighter is in the safety of
an elevated ledge.
TURN PHASE ..................................................CBT003
The battle consists of two phases: the player phase and the enemy
phase. The battle always starts with the player phase. The completion
of the player phase and enemy phase makes up a TURN. Each stage has
individual required turns to finish. If you fail to clear the stage
within the required number of turns, it is game over. The number of
turns available for the stage will be displayed on the upper right
corner of the screen.
HIDDEN ITEMS ................................................CBT004
In every stage, there are hidden treasures. They can only be acquired
when an ally is stepping over the very spot where the item is located.
Fortunately, hidden items can be seen if any ally is just a tile
beside it, in any direction. Just think of it as a 9-tile square where
your character is in the center.
[ ][ ][ ]
[ ][X][ ]
[ ][ ][ ]
In the early part of the game, you’ll need to look for the hidden
items manually. That means finishing 99% of the enemies as fast as
possible, letting one live for the few remaining turns and covering
the whole area. Just remember the 9-tile square range of your
characters to cover as much area as possible.
When you obtain the skills Treasure Hunter (Collet) and Treasure
Lover (Rose), equip them and you should see all the hidden treasures
across the map, during the entire battle – as long as Collet or Rose
remains alive during the whole ordeal.
It will be interesting to note that some rare, powerful weapons and
sometimes, GEMS are hidden on later stages this way.
BATTLE MENU .................................................CBT005
Now to the actual battle. During your character’s turn, you will have
a list of commands available at your disposal. I will give a basic
rundown of the menu items.
MOVE         Order your character to move to another tile within his/
her range (blue tiles). The character’s range depends on
his/her MOV stat.
ATTACK       Order your character to attack enemies within his/her
range (red tile). Attack range depends on the weapon
equipped. Swords, axes and staves have a one tile range.
Spears have two tile range and archers have a long range,
of course. Spellcaster’s magic attack range depends on
the spell being cast.
SKILLS       Activate special or coup de grace attacks here. Requires
a corresponding skill stone (red or green skillstone)
ITEMS        Use an item from your stock. Range depends on the item
being used.
TRANSFORM    Use the Gem on your armlet to transform into a magical
warrior. (Menu appears only to the few selected armlet
wielders)
STATUS       Check your character’s equipment and stat. You can’t
change equipment and skills on this menu
WAIT         End your character’s turn.
TRANSFORMATION ..............................................CBT006
There are select, main characters in the game that wield armlets.
These give them the ability to transform into another powerful form.
All stats increase and any damage dealt at the point of the
transformation will be healed. They will have access to more powerful
and unique special attacks.
By default, AWs (Armlet wielders) have one GEM fitted in their armlet.
You can collect more gems by completing free missions, finding hidden
items and going through the story.
Armlet wielders earn SP every turn (number of SP is shown under the
character’s name). Different Gems require different amount of SP to be
activated. A character can only stay on his/her transformed form for
two turns. A gem can only be activated once per battle so use it
wisely.
GODSPEED ....................................................CBT007
While on their transformed form, AWs can have an additional turn every
time they defeat an enemy. It is not required that you consume your
turn consecutively; upon activation of Godspeed, you can select
another available character to act. When planned properly, you can
chain several Godspeeds in case there are enemies that can’t be
brought down with one attack.
BASIC COMBAT ................................................CBT008
When attacking, consider that attacking enemies from behind and from
the sides increases damage and hit rate. This can be applied to special
attacks as well.
After activating the WAIT command, four small arrows or pointers will
appear over your character. These arrows are actually the direction
where your character will face while waiting for his/her next turn.
This is helpful when anticipating which direction the enemies will
likely approach, thus increases defense and evasion from attacks
upfront.
By default, normal attacks can be countered by both sides. Archers are
the only characters in the game that can’t counter enemy attacks.
Spellcasters counter by physical attacks. High evasion rating also
increases counterattack chances.
COUP DE GRACE ...............................................CBT009
These special attacks vary from the red skillstones equipped. Their
range, damage area and damage rating depends on the skillstone as
well. To maximize efficiency, equip a special attack that damages one
target (concentrated damage) and another one that affects an area
(spread damage). After transformation, AWs have a unique special
attack at their disposal, aside from the normal red skill stones
currently equipped.
BURNING AURA ................................................CBT010
After successfully damaging an enemy using a physical attack (bow
damage not included), the tile on the other direction of your attack
will have a Burning Aura. An ally directly stepping on the tile has
increased attack and critical hit rate. Effects of burning aura can
be stacked on the same character making it more effective.
The aura is active only during the whole turn (during player and enemy
phases) and disappears as soon as the next turn starts. Note that only
physical attacks activate auras. Coup De Grace, arrow and magic attacks
don’t count.
UNIFIED GUARD ...............................................CBT011
This is automatically activated when allied characters stand on
interconnected tiles (any direction). When attacked, the defending
character gains defensive and evasive bonuses. It will always remain
active; as long as there is a link (requires two characters beside
each other.) It is even activated during a counterattack from the
enemy.
COMBAT SPOILS ...............................................CBT012
When defeating an enemy, they will drop skill stones and gold or a
combination of both. You can have almost infinite supply of skill
stones by stealing them (if a target has HP Recovery, just like the
Trolls) as long as there are free turns left. If you are lucky,
enemies will drop everything they have on their inventory. It will
help if you check all the enemies on the current stage to know which
of them carries rare and hard to find skillstones.
After completing the stage, you will be also rewarded with a fixed
amount of EXP, Gold and some items. Completing the stage again will
just net you with gold and some basic items.

+-==================================================================-+
Since the stages are fixed, this walkthrough will just mention basic
tips and pointers that will affect your tactics during the battle. You
can use any approach that fits your style.
Free combat stages will be listed on the order they are unlocked;
though it is not mandatory to clear them immediately. Most of the
time, enemies on those stages will have higher level than your current
party so you may want to clear them once your level is higher.
Tutorial: Using coordinates to find item locations
+++++++++++++++==================-----------------
WLK001
The coordinates2 will be shown as [H, V], whereas the H is the
horizontal (from left to right) and V (from bottom to top) is the
vertical coordinates. For better understating pull out the mini map by
pressing START> Report.
To know the starting point, position your cursor to the corner of the
map. The white square should be in the lower left-hand corner when
viewed from the mini map. This is your starting point, or [1,1]
The H coordinate starts from the left and the V starts from the bottom.
Count the tiles in the current battlefield, not in this mini-map for
accuracy.
So a coordinate that says 5, 10 mean “5 tiles from the left” then
“10 tiles from the bottom”. Since the battlefield view can be rotated,
it pays to check out your position in the mini-map to calculate the
coordinates accurately.
Legend:
+----------------+-------------------------------------------------+
| White Square   | Pointer location; this is the where your cursor |
|                | is located.                                     |
+----------------+-------------------------------------------------+

+-----------------------------------------------------------------+

| ENEMIES: Orc Knight x1, Orc x2                                  |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------+
TIPS:
Treat this as a tutorial stage. You will have 5 healing herbs by
default and don’t hesitate to use them when the situation arises. With
Liane and Jeanne, you can flank enemies to kill them quickly. If you
want, you can take out two enemies before attempting to get the
hidden items.
HIDDEN ITEMS:
(Note: The locations are fixed; however, the item that you may find is
set randomly. The screenshots are just for reference; the item shown
may or may not be what you’ll get.)
#1: [13, 16] Beside the chapel
#2: [5, 14]  Inside the square ruins, in front of the chapel
#3: [11, 4]  Near the stone walls across the stream
REWARDS:

STAGE 02: HOLY ARMOR                                       WLK003
+=========-----------------------------------------------=========+
| VICTORY: Annihilate all enemies                                 |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------+
| DEFEAT : Jeanne falls                                           |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------+
| TURNS  : 10                                                     |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------+
| ENEMIES: English Officer x1, Orc Knight x1, Orc x5              |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------+
TIPS:
The very first item ([2, 2]) location is near your starting position.
Make sure to send somebody to pick it up. Flank the nearest enemy.
After that, there will be a short scene. Now you have unlocked the
Transformation option. Link attacks so that you can eliminate multiple
enemies using Godspeed.
The English Officer will be the mini-boss for this stage. Make sure
you don’t attack him with one or two characters only. He damages and
counters hard. He won’t leave his position until you attack him. Take
this opportunity to collect all hidden items in the stage.
HIDDEN ITEMS:
#1: Mentioned above.
#2: [2, 9] In between the two houses from your starting position.
You may need to go around the house uphill to reach the
item location.
#3: [13, 16] By the right window of the house over the hill.
REWARDS:
236E
100G
Healing Herb
Heal (Green Skillstone)
UNLOCKED LOCATIONS:
Vaucouleurs (Plot, *Shop)
Neufchateau (Plot)
--------------+++++--------------
Chapel in the Woods (Free Combat)
Before entering Vaucouleur, prepare your characters first by outfitting
them (and saving your game as well.) If you want, clear the Chapel in
the Woods to gain a few level boost, as well as additional items,
skill stones and gold. Once ready, enter Vaucouleur to proceed with
the story.
*After the scene, the path to Neufchateau opens. The shop is
accessible now as well. Shop for new items and equipment; I suggest
equipping your characters to the fullest as you can afford it.
Check all your skills and equipment. When ready, head to the next
stage.
STAGE 03: JOURNEY'S START                                   WLK004
+=========-----------------------------------------------=========+
| VICTORY: Defeat the English Officer                             |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------+
| DEFEAT : All allies fall in battle                              |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------+
| TURNS  : 12                                                     |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------+
| ENEMIES: English Officer x1, Orc Knight x2, Orc x7              |
|          Lizardman x4                                           |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------+
TIPS:
Don’t be intimated by the number of enemies. Before the battle
starts, two new party members will appear; Bertrand (Sword) and Jean
(Spear). You will also have a brief tutorial about Jean’s attack
ranges and stuff.
Once ready, make your way up. Stick your characters close so that you
can take advantage of Unified Guard and chaining Burning Auras. The
first few enemies are just a breeze, if you managed to train your
characters before starting this stage. Heal often as needed and take
out the mage as soon as you have the chance.
HIDDEN ITEMS:
#1: [10, 6]  In the front yard of the houses above the first set of
stairs
#2: [11, 11] Hidden in the dead end, beside the bridge
#3: [17, 11] Beside the monastery, near the cliff (facing your
starting position)
Once you cleared the enemies, you can attempt to get the 3rd item
location. You can save Jeanne’s Transformation skill to the officer.
You shouldn’t have any problems defeating this stage boss.

+=========-----------------------------------------------=========+
| VICTORY: Defeat the English Officer                             |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------+
| DEFEAT : The nobleman falls in battle                           |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------+
| TURNS  : 10                                                     |

|          Mage x1, Bovimoth x2                                   |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------+
TIPS:
Equip somebody with Heal and good armor. At this point, it will
be probably Liane. At the start of the battle, you may divide your
team into two. Three will be the assault team and the other two (the
healer and his/her escort) will be the support team. If you want to,
you can also push through as a whole unit.
The assault team will comprise of your primary fighters. They will
take the attention of the other enemies while your support team
approaches the nobleman. Just keep him alive during the battle and you
should do fine.
HIDDEN ITEMS:
#1: [15, 6]  - Under nearest enemy near standing position; beside rock
#2: [8, 11]  - bridge
#3: [3, 8]   - beside waterfall
#4: [15, 13] - behind nobleman’s starting position*
*This item location is only available during this event/stage plot. On
free combat, it will be unavailable.

--------------+++++--------------
Neufchateau (Free Combat)
After clearing the stage, watch through the following scenes. During
this intermission, you’ll learn about your new mission objective and
two more party members will join you; Colet (dagger) and Marcel
(bow)
Once you reach the world map, your next objective will appear. If you
want, you can go to some of the free combat stages to train Colet and
Marcel and equip them as well. When ready, head to Soir Valley.
STAGE 05: THE ROAD TO CHINON                                WLK006
+=========-----------------------------------------------=========+
| VICTORY: Guide all allies to the road at the map's north edge   |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------+
| DEFEAT : A single ally falls in battle                          |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------+
| TURNS  : 12                                                     |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------+
| ENEMIES: Talbot, Lizardman x4, Dark Elf x2, Bovimoth x2         |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------+
TIPS:
If you have some Heal skillstones to spare, make sure at least two of
your characters have them. Also, move in a tight group so everybody
can support each other. If you want, you can also equip your
characters with offensive spells, so that they can also damage enemies
from a distance.
Archers will be a nuisance here. If you take the path to the bridges,
you can avoid the archers but will need to face some ground units.
Decide which approach you’ll take. Just don’t spread your people too
much.
Talbot is still the biggest threat here. If you’ll plan to bring him
down, make sure that Jeanne is transformed and your other characters
nearby for support. Remember that once a character reaches the border,
he/she will be out for the entire battle. I suggest grouping your
characters near the border; wait for the others if they are spread out.
After the last character reaches the border, the battle ends.
HIDDEN ITEMS:
#1: [2, 10]  Between the dead tree and rock (no screenshot)
#2: [19, 12] Near the edge of a cliff, before the eastern bridge
#3: [16, 19] Over the big platform-like rock formation, near the
border

STAGE 06: THE ARMLET'S CHOSEN                              WLK007
+=========-----------------------------------------------=========+
| VICTORY: Defeat Talbot                                          |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------+
| DEFEAT : Jeanne falls in battle                                 |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------+
| TURNS  : 09                                                     |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------+
| ENEMIES: Talbot, LOrc Knight x2, Dark Elf x2                    |
|          Bovimoth x2, Mage x2, Gazelliath                       |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------+
TIPS:
Before you start the stage, assign one or two of your characters as
support healers. Marcel is a great help here since you’ll need to take
out the two mages as soon as you can; before they can even store enough
mana to cause problems. Also, avoid placing your characters in a
straight line; this is to avoid getting paralyzed by the Gazelliaths’
Mighty Roar attack.
After 1 turn, Gilles will appear as a lone reinforcement. He will be
in his transformed form so if you managed to damage enemies half their
HP, Gilles can abuse Godspeed to wipe them clean off the battlefield.
But before that, grab the items first.
As usual, before facing Talbot, make sure that you cleared the other
enemies first. This will make your job easier. Also, make sure that
Jeanne is transformed when facing him. Heal as needed and after Talbot
is defeated, the mission completes.
HIDDEN ITEMS:
#1[18, 4]  – Behind the rocks, to the east
#2[10, 12] – In front of windmill; between the stream and the dark elf
#3[9, 16]  - Behind the windmill
REWARDS:

UNLOCKED LOCATIONS:
Chinon (Plot1, Shop)
Orleans (Plot2)
--------------+++++--------------
Soir Valley (Free Combat)
After the battle, the path to Chinon opens. Enter the town and watch
the following scenes. After a few more conversations and a talk with
Gilles, he will join your party. As you exit the world map the path to
Orleans will now be open and you can now access the shop in Chinon.
Make sure to upgrade any equipment, restock supplies, buy new skills
or train a few battles before heading to the next stage. It never
hurts to be ahead of the competition.

STAGE 07: THE MAIDEN BATTLE                                 WLK008
+=========-----------------------------------------------=========+
| VICTORY: Guide Jeanne to the gate of Orleans                    |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------+
| DEFEAT : Jeanne falls in battle                                 |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------+
| TURNS  : 12                                                     |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------+
| ENEMIES: Lizard Guardian x2, Orc Knight x3, Swordfighter x2     |
|          Priestess x1, Wizard x1, Gazelliath x2                 |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------+
TIPS:
Before you start the battle, you will see a scene of two beastlings.
After a short while La Hire and Rufus will join your party. Both are
axe-wielders. Aside from that, they have high defense and HP rating,
perfect for the frontline “tank” role.
You’ll still need at least a couple of support healers here.
Prioritize eliminating the priestess and the wizard since they can
heal and cast area-damaging spells respectively. Also, the
swordfighters can cause a bit of problems because of their high damage
and counter. As usual, the Gazelliaths love to use Mighty Roar when
they have the chance so avoid placing your characters along a 3-tile
straight line. The item locations are not hard to reach. Just clear
your way of enemies and place Jeanne to the gates to complete the
mission.
HIDDEN ITEMS:
#1: [16, 9]  - dry ground in the middle of the stream
#2: [5, 4]   – Upstream from the starting point, near walls and falls
#3: [10, 14] – Past the river, near the main road.
REWARDS:

UNLOCKED LOCATIONS:
Orleans (Shop)
Bastille of St. Loup (Plot)
--------------+++++--------------
Aeolian Hill (Free Combat)
After the mission, you will still need to watch a few more scenes and
events, before the next stage is unlocked. Make sure to upgrade
equipments since the Orleans shop has new items in their inventory.
You can train for two quick battles for some extra level, gold and
items or just proceed to the next stage.
