| Welcome reader to my faq/walkthrough for another game that caught |
| my attention. I just finished my in-depth walkthrough for Rogue |
| Galaxy, which took a good whole month to complete. I hope this will |
| not take that long also. I never played any of the first titles of |
| series - except Shining Tears which was a disappointment. |
| |
| Anyway, as I did with my works before, I wrote them in draft papers |
| first then type them in. I would like to make this as complete as |
| possible but since I'm balancing work, family, and personal life |
| some details may be missing or omitted. Also, expect a spoiler free |
| read as much as possible, like I have always done before |
| |
| As I always said, I do encourage you guys to send questions and I'll|
| to answer them the best in my ability. However, hate/insulting mail |
| unreadable and senseless emails or the like will be humbly ignored |
| or responded in kind. |
| |
| So I hope you'll enjoy the game. Game on! |

The game introduces four main characters in the Story, two of them are
controllable. Set in a world where two dominating powers are in a state
of war. The leader of the human nation of Noswald, Emperor Ragnadaam III
and the enticing Queen (la Vaes) of the southern demon kingdom of
Fyrlandt and their nations are in tension. They want to get hold of the
legendary Holy Sword called SHINING FORCE to use it to overthrow the
other.
A bunch of adventurers are on the move to get hold of the sword also.
Toma, is a human swordsman - a bit wild and free spirited. Along with
him is the other main character in the game, Cyrille, a mysterious
young historian/mage. Their party is joined by Gadfort, a Centaur
knight that upholds honor and the modest yet deadly elfin, Maebelle.
Together they search for the Shining Force with their own reasons.
----=====================-----
+ T H E E N V I R O N M E N T + SFX002
----=====================-----
One thing that players will probably enjoy about the game is its
vibrant and lively surroundings. The cel-shaded characters fits well
with the beatifully rendered background. May it be the grasslands, caves
or the castles or villages, the details are great.
Scattered around the place are breakable objects which sometimes
contain items, aside from the normal switches, teleporters and save
points. Be sure to check them out!
Scattered pickable objects can be traced in the map, as well as the
hidden ones since they could either be 'shining' or a cursor will appear
if you're near them.
Portals are available on key areas, not to mention Goddess Fountains
that heal weary characters and memory stones to save progress. There
are also optional paths called PATH OF CARNAGE where players can test
their skill by battling hordes of more powerful monsters. Be warned
though, if you face them too early, you will end up getting pwned in no
time. Players are warned by blockades - which they need to destroy to
enter the path. Successful players are rewarded with good amount of
treasures.
Prison of Rocks are the other types of breakable things scattered in the
world. These stones contains the trapped souls of wicked and oftentimes
very powerful beasts. Once released, there are almost no way to escape.
But they hold Secret Scrolls, which gives you access to various Secret
Arts and link them to your equipment.
MOnster Generators are the spherical objects, that goes by its name.
The generator can't be damaged as long as the players don't eliminate
the monsters around it. Destroying the generator will stop the production
of beasts in the area.
Although the camera angle is fixed, that wouldn't bother you since there
was never a bad angle in the game. You can still see the action if you
fight in a tight enclosed area.
----========================-----
+ T H E B A T T L E S Y S T E M + SFX003
----========================-----
The game utilizes an active battle system where the player-controlled
character can actively move around the area and damage is dealt
real-time. AI-Controlled allies move and attack in their own. The
battle interface is pretty the same with the normal navigation interface.
Players can easily toggle between skills and items whenever they need
them.
Both of the two main characters can utilize two different weapons.
Toma can equip one-handed and two-handed weapons while Cyrille can
equip spellbooks and crossbows. Each weapon have their own magic skills
and abilities.
Later in the game, after the Geo-Fortress' cannon has been setup,
players can call in a very powerful artillery shot from the cannon.
The exceptions will be enclosed areas and far targets - out of the
cannon's firing range.
Characters can attack and perform combos by pressing the attack button
consecutively. Players can link combos and charge attacks for a more
powerful Special attack which can be done as long as you have the MP
to spare.
One interesting similarity of SFX to a MMORPG is that enemies swarm your
characters that they may seem invisible amongst the heap of enemies
trying to take your head. This will remind you of those enemies getting
pwned by powerful attacks and magic spells in online games.
Money and Mithril is not scarce since enemies drop them constantly.
However, don't expect to be a money whore in the game since you're going
to need that gold you acquired to survive. Same goes for the mithril.
-----------------
Defensive Battles
-----------------
From time to time, enemies will attack the fortress. In the early
chapters, they will attack mostly from the Il'Gonia Central Hills.
But later on, they will attack in any of the four areas around the
Fortress- basically each one containing a Photon Converter.
They occur every once in a while and with no specific time. If you
have a high leveled barrier (requires a high level generator), then you
shouldn't worry about any attacks. When paired with the Fortress's
Recovery mode and levelling up the Repair Facility as well, the
Converters will be virtually indestructible - which means you can leave
it as it is and farm exp from enemies, without defeating the boss first.
Def battles have no time limit; thus you can take advantage of earning
more gold/item drops and exp.
Def battles don't end without defeating the boss; usually, they appear
after a few minutes in the battle. Defeat the boss and the battle will
be a victory. Also, some bosses appear when some of their 'key units'
are destroyed; this applies to Monster Generators and Artillery Cannons.
--------------
Battle Effects
--------------
Knockback - The enemy is being pushed back for every weapon hit,
cancelling its action. Crossbows are good at this, with
multiple projectiles pushing any enemy at bay. Knockdown
is also an added effect; it causes enemies to get thrown
down to the ground.
Float - When enemies attack you from below and you get thrown
in the air.
Critical - Critical damage inflicted (damage is colored yellow
instead of red); Depends on the weapon's Critical rate.
Stun - Inflicted from heavy, direct attacks. It makes the
stunned target vulnerable to attacks for a few seconds,
and unable to act.
Stagger - This occurs when the attacker's action gets cancelled
by an enemy attack, and when he/she can't recover
quickly.
Juggle - Mid-air/ Consecutive attacks while in 'Float'
Stone - Inflicted by specific types of enemies and attacks, this
will petrify your character, and vulnerable to attacks.
Ignores defense rating.
Frozen - Inflicted by specific types of enemies and attacks,
mostly by frost element enemies. Character is unable
to act and open to attacks. Defense rating is still
applicable.
----========================-----
+ C U S T O M I Z A T I O N + SFX004
----========================-----
Being able to customize items and personalize characters is a major
plus for an enjoyable RPG. SFX offers a great array of ways to customize
your characters and weapons.
Equipments are not just mere body wear. Changing the equipment of the
character alters his/her appearance. Its like changing costumes
altogether. Weapons can be upgraded by taking it to the blacksmith.
Characters learn power arts (skills) and can even imbed weapons with
secret arts.
Players need MITHRIL, a stone that can be collected from boxes, enemies
and large crystals around the place. Both Toma and Cyrille shares the
same amount of Mithril collected. However, each of them spends it
separately without affecting the other. This allows the players to have
more flexibility with their character customization.
Gold is the main currency in the game and is used in many transactions.
From shopping, to upgrading equipment, etc, gold is needed. They are
pretty plentiful though since enemies drop them frequently in
considerable amounts.
Power Arts are basically skills that further enhances the character's
stats and abilities. More arts must be discovered by finding Power Arts
Stones, which I prefer calling tablets. Once discovered, both of the
characters will be able to use them. Levelling Power Arts consumes
mithril. The higher the level, the more amount it will require.
Incredibly, the game allows you to collect mithril as easy as collecting
gold.
There is also another art called the Secret Arts. These are special
arts that can 'link' to weapons and further enhancing their effectivity.
Secret arts must be learned by obtaining Secret Scrolls - which in are
normally dropped by bosses and imprisoned beasts.
The Power Arts system of the Geo-Fortress takes note of Secret Arts
you registered. In that case, you'll be able to use the secret arts
applicable to an equipment, even if its brand new. Choose the proper
skills or arts to maximize your characters' growth and your style.
----========================-----
+ T H E G E O F O R T R E S S + SFX005
----========================-----
Your base of operations is the Geo Fortress. Its a massive,
technologically advanced castle with a variety of functions. This
is also where the Holy Sword Shining Force is kept - making it the
prime target of the two powerful nations, trying to claim the castle
as their own. It is maintained by an intelligent and loyal talking
bloodhound, Zenus and the castle's own army of robots.
Players are allowed to modify the Geo Fortress and upgrade its main
parts for better functionality. Enemies will attack from time to time
and the other character left in the castle will be tasked to defend it.
Upgrading the Geo Fortress's parts require CORE METALS while repairing
it requires CURE METALS. These are rare to come by. Occasionally,
players can buy them for 10000G from Gilnay. Otherwise, they can be
found in various places - often rewarded in boss battles and the like.
The Fortress has different parts:
CONTROL ROOM - This is where you'll mostly spend your time. This is
where the castle's main functions are monitored and
activated.
RESIDENTIAL BLOCK - Basically where the castle's inhabitants stay.
It connects to the Library and Armory
ENGINEERING BLOCK - This is where the castle's main systems are
monitored and maintained. It connects to the
training portal. This is also where the robots
are made.
PHOTON CONVERTER - These are the ones that distributes power to the
fortress and the main enemy targets.
SWORD CHAMBERS - These serves as Toma (east tower) and Cyrille's
(west tower) rooms. This is also where the swords
are pulled out.
ARMORY - Connected to the Residential block and contains
all the weapons you have collected so far.
LIBRARY - Connected to the Residential block as well and
contains some references and books for Cyrille
as well.
Upgradable parts:
---------------------
GENERATOR - Upgrading the generator unlocks more functions of the
fortress. It is the main system that keep's the fortress
up and running. Also, upgrading the main generator will
allow the user access to level up its other functions as
well.
CANNON - Later in the game (Chapter 4), players will have the
ability to call in artillery support fire from the
Fortress. Upgrading it does increase firepower
significantly but since the cannon's range is limited,
I suggest upgrading this one later on. Longer range
is achieved by changing to Cannon Mode, which is available
later in the game.
BARRIER - The upgrading the barrier will determine how much damage
the Photon Converters can withsand. This is very
important since losing the generator is instant Game Over
- no ifs or buts. Make this a priority upgrade whenever
you can.
ROBOT FACTORY- Upgrading this option allows you to dispatch more
defender robots, upgrade them and newer models. This is
also good since having help when battling against a
horde of enemy invaders is never bad.
Remember that you need to activate them, then prepare
them for a sortie - basically, making them battle ready.
From the start, you can only have 1 defender robot.
More robots will be allowed when level increases.
There are three kinds of Robots you can create in the factory.
Defensive Types: They will stay around the converter and protect
it as much as they can.
Attack Types : They will only appear to assist you when you're
charging the enemies, in a distance away from
the converter. They are the offensive types and
will attack all enemies within range.
Special Types : Special types can assist both attack and defense
-the all around defender. It is larger and more
powerful than the typical A/D robot. One
drawback however, is that they need to be repaired
after every battle; which is not a problem in
later chapters since gold drop amount is high
enough, even on normal enemies.
RADAR - Upgrading the radar will increase the radar's capacity,
coverage range and also its ability to detect items,
chests and rare beasts.
TRAINING - Upgrading this option will increase the difficulty and
will add new floors to the simulated training grounds.
This is a great source of easy income and items so make
sure to check it out often.
REPAIR - The repair facility speeds up the recovery speed of
the generator and the converters. Increasing the level
will increase the recovery speed.
The effect of the repair facility is seen during Recovery
Mode. When paired with a high level barrier, you won't be
using Cure Metals anymore, and may even consider farming
exp in defensive battles.
Modes
-----------------
The Geo Fortress is an advanced all-around HQ. You can unlock this
feature as part of the story, later in CH9.
BASIC MODE - This is the normal form of the Geo-Fortress. Nothing
special.
CANNON MODE - The fortress changes into a cannon weilding edifice.
While in this mode, the range of your cannon is
increased further. There are still some restrictions
like you can't use the cannon in caves or enclosed
areas. There are also still some areas that can't be
reached by the cannon.
RECOVERY MODE- While in this mode, the Geo Fortress' defense is
increased, at the same time, recovery time for the
damaged converters will be faster. Can't fire cannon.
The Photon Converter also gradually recovers the
defending party's HP within its range.
SEARCH MODE - Greatly enhances radar, enabling you to detect chests,
rare monsters (imprisoned beasts) and the like. You
can't fire the cannon while in this mode.
FLIGHT MODE - The true form of the Geo-Fortress, after cleansing the
'tainted' blade of the Holy Sword. It is only available
during the last chapter.
DEFENSE MODE*- This mode concentrates on defense. In this mode, expect
no defensive battles to occur. If there is a warning
that enemies are approaching and you activate this mode,
that warning will be cancelled.
*Available after finishing the game once.

+ T H E C H A R A C T E R S + SFX006
----========================-----
Though the game will only allow you to control the two main characters,
you need the help of other non-playable storyline characters to
get through the challenges, defensive battles and dungeon crawling.
These guys come in different shapes, races, sizes - all with thier
own personality.

+ T H E W E A P O N S + SFX007
----================-----
Both Toma and Cyrille can equip two types of weapons. Knowing the
advantages and disadvantages of them can help you decide what to use
during battles. It is recommended to at least keep two kinds in your
inventory when going out. Just use them according to your battle style
and strategy.
-----
|TOMA:|
-----
One-Handed Weapons - Fast Attack speed, can be paired with a shield, thus
increasing defense and resistances significantly
- Narrow range, Low-Medium damage
- Low critical rate, low knockback rating
- can cast Magic
NoteS: Includes long daggers, blades and such
Two-Handed Weapons - Slow Attack speed, cannot equip shields
- Wide range, Medium-Massive Damage
- High Critical Rate, High Knockback rating
- cannot cast magic
Notes: This includes pikes, hammers, clubs, spears and the like
One handed swords take advantage of their attack speed, magic and the
ability to equip shields. Although their damage is not that great, the
shields paired with them prevents too much damage to be inflicted on Toma.
Not to mention that shields gives added protection against stun, knockback
and float attacks. Crowd control is addressed by casting magic.
Two handed swords however, can deal massive damage and with its wide
range, its preferred for melee crowd control. But, it leaves Toma
vulnerable to damage and attacks with stun, knockback and float effects.
Although magic is not available most of the time, you can wipe out an
entire opposition by using the SP attacks and linking them. You may want

Books - High Magic attack rating,
- High Magic resistance
- Several magic spells available
- Narrow/short range, slow attack speed.
- low physical attack rating, knockback
Notes: This includes tomes and other books
Crossbows - Low magic attack rating
- Low magic resistance
- No/limited spells available
- Long/Wide Range, Fast attack speed
- Higher phys attack rating, has knockback
Books, when paired when magic and MP enhancing equipment and secret/
power arts, can be devastatingly powerful. Most of the time, books
have MP absorb attacks which recovers MP by attacking enemies. Though
physical damage and knockback is its main drawbacks, that is considered
to be normal for a 'weapon' not made for melee combat.
Crossbows is mainly for dealing high phys damage in long ranges. They
are also needed to destroy those hard to reach chests and get the items.
If powered enough and paired with phys attack enhancing equipments and/
or secret/power arts, crossbows can conviniently cut through enemy
defenses and destroy an entire horde from a considerable distance. Higher
level crossbows has magic, not to mention that they are rapid firing.

*** Items /// ............................................... \\\ Items ***

Items in SFX are not consumed permanently. When you heal at the Goddess
Fountain, your 'empty' healing water bottles will be refilled. There
are some exceptions for rare and other consumables. Keys used to unlock
chests are consumable. Darkness Runes needed to unlock the doors to the
Ancient Arenas are consumable as well.
Note that both Toma and Cyrille have their own healing waters containers.
Green healing waters are for Toma while Cyrille's is pink. So, if you
have a pink bottle in Toma's inventory, it wouldn't be counted.
These can be bought in the shop.
-------------------- --------------------
*** Party Equipment /// ........................ \\\ Party Equipment ***
------------------- -------------------
Unlike the typical RPG where you need to take care of each of the
characters, SFX allows you to concentrate only with the individual
equipments of the two main characters. As for the other party members,
you can equip them with 'PARTY EQUIPMENTS'.
These are scrolls that can be found in chests, most of the time, hidden
in some locations.
Party Equips when used, will allow the party member to use the specified
description/strategy indicated in the PE. This is very useful since
they won't be using their full potential without using these. These
also give your party members access to more powerful techs and spells.

*** Secret Arts /// .................................. \\\ Secret Arts ***
------------ -----------
If power arts enhance your characters, then Secret Arts enhance your
equipment. Secret Scrolls must be acquired from most rare monsters
(imprisoned monsters), one of the Ancient Arena rewards, and some
bosses as well.
After getting the scroll, you need to bring to the POwer Art terminal
to register it. After that, you will be able to link it the appropriate
equipment. Only one secret art may can be active on any equipment.
Their effects however, depends on the immunity of the monster you
are attacking. For example, the SA (Secret Art) "Darkness Awakened" 's
HP ABSORB effect has no effect against the monsters immune to it.
Same goes for critical, knockback, float, etc.

|BeFORE YoU sTaRt|
--------------------
Since most of the places are pretty straightforward, I will just
give general directions to where the items and other points of
interest may be. If you don't like exploring too much - well too
bad, this is an RPG. And the fact that THERE IS NO RANDOM BATTLES in
this game should be enough reason for you to check out the all the
areas yourself. What's the fun without exploring?
Also note that some of the chests and hidden items are randomized
- also it depends wether who are you using at the time. With that
in mind, I didn't bother writing down each chests' contents.
Destroying boxes/barrels/jars, etc should be a habit. They contain
gold, mithril and items as well. This will further increase your
stash.
Since I am not sure myself when and how often defensive battles
occur, I'll just include them the way that I encountered them, just
to give you reference.
Prioritize upgrading the main generators and barriers. Its a must
since enemy attacks from later chapters can easily destroy your
converters and you may be stuck with a defensive battle you can't
win - basically, no other solution but to start the game all over
again, avoiding the same mistake.
Once you can change the Geo Fortress's modes, I suggest, keep it
on Cannon Mode (If you want some artillery support) in open areas
and/or Search mode. Now, defensive battles don't start immediately;
When that happens, stop whatever you're doing and return to base.
Then change it to Recovery Mode. Using it that way will let you
maximize each of the modes' efficiency.
Another thing is that I won't mention when you'll save or not.
Because of the Return system, you can basically return to the
Fortress almost anytime you want, wherever you are. So save at
your own discretion. The exception will apply during boss, arena
and ambush battles.
Use the Geo Fortress' Training Facility as often as possible. Not
only that this is a great source of gold, mithril, exp and rare
items, you can earn several levels before setting out in a mission.
Enemies are very unpredictable during missions so it pays to be
prepared.
Talk to Gantetsu and Gilnay at least twice every chapter. You'll
never know when Gilnay will offer a Core Metal (for 10000G) or
Gantetsu will ask for 3000 Mithril to increase his forging level.
Core metals keeps your fortress upgraded and Forging equipments,
though expensive keeps you in the edge.
Visit the residential area once in a while and talk to your party
members. Most of the time, they will give you items & occasionally
power arts. The exception would be Adam - talk to him in the
Engineering block and from time to time, his scout robots will
discover items in different areas. And he will give that to you.
Garyu is also another good source of Core Metals. Talk to him every
once in a while, either when using Toma or Cyrille. Also, if you
talk to Maebelle using Cyrille, you'll get a crossbow. Talk to
Gadfort using Toma and you'll get a sword.
The items/skills you'll get (but not limited to) are the ff:
.-------------------------------===--------------------------------.
| POWER ARTS | ITEMS/ WEAPONS |
+--------------------------------+---------------------------------+
| MP Boost - Ami | Crossbows - Maebelle |
+--------------------------------+---------------------------------+
| Light Magic - Faulklin | Swords - Gadfort |
+--------------------------------+---------------------------------+
| Critical Atk - Duga | Random Consumables - Adam |
+--------------------------------+---------------------------------+
| Absolute Defense*- Avalon | Core Metal - Garyu |
+--------------------------------+---------------------------------+
*Absolute Defense is a very useful Power Art. It gives you added
protection to ANY attacks. Try to get this as soon as you get
Avalon.
There are certain areas in the map that are not part of the main
quest route. I won't be mapping them since they are optional. These
areas are in the Paora plains. Take the liberty to search and explore
them.
The battles could be easy or hard. There are really no special
strategies to use in every battle, including boss fights. If you're
having a hard time, its either you're underlevelled, your equipment
is not up to date or you character growth is not that efficient.
Take some time to train and gain a few levels then try the battles
again.

-----------------------------------------------
WLK001
---------------------
+ Ilnod Forest Entrance +
---------------------
- The game starts with a scene. Just read through the conversation.
- You will then be thrown to your first battle. Defeat the enemy.
- After the battle and few more dialogs, you will have control of Toma.
Search the grass to the up to find items. Go east to the Village.
NOTE: Red/Orange Arrows are the accessible areas. White/Gray ones means
you can't enter it yet.
-------------
+ Yi'el Village +
-------------
- You can find a chest on the bench in the center of the village. Talk
to Maebelle and learn that she needs a herb to cook dinner.
- Go east, up the hill. Fight the enemies along the way. Find the herb
in the SE corner, by the cliff. You can also find a Mithril Ring in
the stairs in the NW corner.
NOTE: You can go back and forth to the village to reload the enemies on
the path to the cliff. You can fight them to earn extra gold and
exp.
- Go back to the village and deliver the herbs to Maebelle. You will
then be given a choice to have dinner or do something else. Just
choose the first option whenever you're ready.
- Night will fall. Read through the conversations of the party. Head
east to the cliff to find Cyrille and Zhina. ( - SCENE - )
- After the scene, the day will start. Go to the NE path. Hikanay will
give you Healing Water. Save first then exit the village.
NOTE: Healing Water is not permanently consumed; they can be replenished
when you heal using a Goddess Fountain.
-------------
+ Ancient Ruin +
-------------
- A battle tutorial will take place. Just take note of the pointers
given then continue north. Fight orcs along the way. Destroy the boxes
along the way.
- Continuing forth, you should find a Goddess Fountain in front of the
checkpoint. You can't enter it yet so just proceed forward. Grab the
chest along the way. Notice the chest on the other side of the cliff?
You won't be able to reach that except by destroying the chest using
Cyrille's crossbow. Any crossbow will do.
- Find a crystal along the path, destroy it to gather some Mithrils.
Continue east, destroy the crystals, boxes along the way.
- Make your way up to the ramp. You will encounter a number of orcs
along the way. Just defeat them and go down the ramp further east.
You will then meet Gadfort and Maebelle. You will then need to split
up. So, with them taking the other paths, go West.
- On your way, Cyrille will catch up and will block the other road.
Just clear the path west, gather items along the way. Backtrack
and talk to Cyrille. Switch characters.
- Continue east. A battle tutorial for Cyrille will take place. Continue
SE to find chest. Grab Cyrille's Healing Water (Pink).
NOTE: Healing Water is not permanently consumed; they can be replenished
when you heal using a Goddess Fountain.
- Follow the path, grab items and boxes before the ramp. Continue up,
find Goddess Fountain. There should be an item behind the fountain.
There is also another chest nearby.
- Continue forth, defeating enemies along the way. Just make your way
to the south, a scene will take place one you reach the cave's
entrance.
-------------------
+ For'il Ancient Road +
-------------------
- From this here on, you can now fight with party members. Cyrille
will wait, basically blocking the exit outside. Also note that there
is a PATH of CARNAGE to the north, behind the wooden fence. Destroy
the fence if you want then head NE. Make sure you save before that.
NOTE: The Path of Carnage is an optional route not related to the main
quest. The path has good items in the end but it is guarded by
a mob of powerful monsters. Do not attempt these routes if you
are low levelled. Besides, Path of Carnages are good source of
extra gold and exp.
- Head west. Continue through the path. In the open area, there will be
a Monster Generator. Bardfort will give you general pointers about
them. So, jump in the fray and begin the carnage. Once all of the
beasts and the MG are taken care of, continue west.
- There will be another wide area. Enemies will spawn there so eliminate
them, then go up. Along the way, the party will talk about the Mural.
After that just continue forth.
- You should find another Memory Stone along the way. Save your progress
then continue further west. In the last area, there will be a MG
and a lot of spawned beast. Just defeat them and destroy the MG. Head
to the door. ( - SCENE - )
-------------------
+ Sword Chamber +
-------------------
- When you gain control again, examine the sword. ( - SCENE - )
- After some more scenes and dialogues, you will be asked to save the
game. Do so.

WLK002
-------------------
+ Sword Chamber +
-------------------
- The chapter opens up with a dialogue from the party. After that, go
downstairs. Scene will take place.
-------------------
+ Control Room +
-------------------
- After that, save first then grab 3 chests. Talk to Zenus. Follow him,
exit to the east then head upstairs to the north. You can actually
look around the area. There is an item in one of the bookshelves
below, and two chests in the Engineering Block to the SE. Once you're
ready, talk to Zenus again. Proceed to the transporter - get the
Cure Metal from the Pedestal. Teleport down using the transporter.
-----------------------
+ Il'gonia Central Hill +
-----------------------
- You need to free the Generator by attacking the rocks. Destroy it
immediately using charge/sp attacks.
- Go back to the transporter once done. Make your way to the Control
Room. Talk to Zenus. You will receive a short tutorial about the
Power Arts. From this point on, you can now use the Warp System and
the Power Arts system. Both Toma and Cyrille can use this.
NOTE: Mithril will be used to activate the power arts for both Toma and
Cyrille. They share the mithril collected but they can spend it without
affecting the amount the other character has. Which is a good thing.
Now, more power arts will be added once you discover those PA Tablets
(Power Arts tablets) scattered around the place. Make sure you seek
them out.
Another thing to note is that unidentified items can be refined to
become 100 mithril. However, they can provide more mithril if you
identify them in the shop - which you gotta pay of course. Items that
has been identified already can't be refined so if you have weaker
equipment, just sell it for extra cash.
- Save then Warp to Lakton Village. Your next destination is the Ancient
Arena east of Lakton Village.
NOTE: YOu can talk Hikanay and pay 1G for her to create a letter for
the Lakton Village blacksmith.
-----------------------
+ Lakton Village +
-----------------------
- Upon reaching the village, you should notice the Altar where the
remains of a knight is displayed. Just ignore that for the meantime,
then go downstairs. You will receive a short tutorial about Power
Art Stones. (I will refer to them as PS Tablets in this walkthrough)
These stones will allow the your characters access more power arts.
- Just destroy anything breakable and collect Mithril and Gold. You
can also upgrade some of your equipment by the blacksmith, inside
the house in front of the corn fields.
-----------------------
+ Lakton Highland +
-----------------------
- Save first, then continue followin the path. Find a lone chest on the
north hill. Go further north, find a PS Tabler in the NW corner, by
the river. Bactrack a bit then head SE this time. Find a locked
chest by the footbridge. use a key and collect the unidentified Tender
Archer. Cross the bridge, and find a tablet immediately.
NOTE: As you may have noticed, you can't change your party members'
individual equipments or even assigned them power arts. Well, that'll
save you a lot of time since you just need to maintain both Toma and
Cyrille.
Tender Archer is an example of a PARTY EQUIPMENT. That is basically
the strategy/ style your party member will follow during battles.
Just make sure you have them equip it to follow your battle strategy
or fighting style.
- There is another Path of Carnage in the Southern path, by the
bridge. There is also a Goddess Fountain and Memory Stone nearby.
Around this area is another path uphill, to the NE, leading to another
chest. Just remember to save before taking the POC (Path of Carnage)
Youw will find a PS Tablet top the SW, past the bridge and the Mithril
Crystals in the lower SE deadend.
- After the ordeal, just backtrack to the Fountain and Savepoint. Go
to the north this time. There will be some Crystals and a chest on the
NE area. Just clear the map.
NOTE: Around this time, the Geo Fortress may be attacked and the other
inactive character left in the Fortress is tasked to defend it.
Just take note of the tutorial and defeat the boss to win the
Defensive Battle.
IT IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED TO SAVE IN A SEPARATE SAVE FILE DURING
DEFENSIVE BATTLES. This is to avoid you getting stuck in case of a
very tough battle and you have no way to load from your main save
file.
