Switch Chester into yer party, equip him with the Composite Bow and a Black Onyx, and level the poor boy up! He's only at level 10! (or whatever you left him at). You can find Howard D. Morrison (who's also not Edward)... (yeah, couldn't resist doin that this time around, either...) *sheepish grin* Anyway! You can find him in Tornix' old house and, after a rather long conversation where you establish that he has no Magical abilities, and discuss the Meaning of Life, he tells you that you can rest (for free) at his house anytime. I don't know about you, but that lil pink-haired kid downstairs could be Arche's kid... (from what guy??) Eh... I didn't say anything... *points somewhere else to distract you* There! The kitchen! Heh, that merchant guy seems to have taken up residence in the Morrison dwelling, and is apparently immortal.

Inside the Mausoleum (which is now Volt's Cavern), is a Holy Bottle north of where you are, and left of that is a Shield Ring (equip on Chester) and a Life Bottle. Through the door to the north are TWO Lavenders! ^~__~^ Back in the last area head right from the entrance to find... hmm? What's going on here? Best to leave ninja to dispute amoungst themselves... she can handle them anyway, and does so with surprising speed. She then disappears... Go north to hear her voice. Enter the cave to find... her being electricuted. *sweatdrops* Some ninja... roffle. Yes, go help her already. Jeeze. After the scene she apologizes... and then runs off again. Hoi. Levelling Chester up in here == lots and lots of gald, and you can get a new weapon for him (Aqua Sprite, need to use a Rune Bottle on a ?Bow, just make sure it's not a shortbow...). You can also get a Dragon Tooth for Cless ifyer lucky. Well, there's one more thing... in the same area where you got zapped, use the Sorcerer's Ring on the thing that zapped you to open the door in the back, then run through the door before it closes and open the chest for a new book for Klarth. Go down the stairs, right through the wall, step on the switch in the back, then go back and go north, then right into the next area. Ack, more Dhaos ninja! OK, yeah, so your party is a bunch of cowards and send you to fight alone, but this fight is sooooo easy. Basically Tiger Teeth them a bit, then Sword Rain them into a corner, and keep using Sword Rain til they're dead. ... what you mean, barely won? They didn't even land a hit on me! ^9__9^;; After the fight, Suzu runs off again. Jeeze, lady! Ah, fine, whatever. Follow her right and into the cave, up the stairs, grab the Orange Gummy, then go through the door to find yourself back at the beginning. OK, now you can leave. Nothing else here for you (at least, not yet...) DUN DUN DUUUUN!!

When you're ready, go north through the mountain pass to Euclid (there's a Reverse Doll and a scene at the top, by the way). Yay! Level 34, Chester! Congrats! ^~__~^ Alright, wander around Euclid. Uncle Olson's house's been turned into a Research Center. Haha! There's a lost girl in the bottom left corner of the city. Might as well help her out, ey? Her mother is at the entrance to the castle. For returning her you get a teacup... which happens to be full of upgraded gummies. w00t. OK, enter the Castle (to the north). There's a tournament going on, but don't bother with that right now. I got killed off on the very last round of the first battle, and there are TEN battles, one right after another! Come back when you're at level 70 or something. Talk to the King to get... 80,000 FREAKING G?! Daaamn... yeah, cool. On the third floor is a girl who'll tradeya her brown card for yer black card. The princess says she gives you a title, but it's not a real title... Alright, I can't remember anything else of interest, so... head to Venezzia!

Head to the Armor shop, and buy buy buy! (although there's a better (but more expensive) place just a bit later on...) No, that's not actually Elwyn and Nancy in the Trading Company... just their descendants... There's a short scene in the mayor's house if you care. There's a dude in the grocery who'll give you a green card for some melon and kelp (ew, what a combination). You got some melon in Dhaos' castle, and you can buy some kelp in here (you only need one, don't worry). Talk to Harrison on the right-most ship to find out that there are certain... eh... complications... in regards to getting to Alvanista by boat. You return to Euclid, where Dr. Livingstone shows you his Techbirds. Only problem is, they can't fly as far as Alvanista.

Chester says: I, for one, have NO idea what any of you are talking about.

Yeah? Well, you and me both, kid... Actually, that's not entirely true... remember the new name of the Mausoleum? Klarth volunteers to go contract with Volt, so... back to the Mausoleum we go!

Equip someone with the Sorcerer's Ring. OK, head to the area where you fought the ninja, then head south. You might want to use a Holy Bottle here if you don't like distractions (don't worry, the enemies around here drop em by the ton). Go into the south room, flick the lever, then turn on the conductor and RUN THROUGH THE DOOR! (*Tip: Shoot the goddamn thing from the right side so the distance you have to run is shorter) Go down the stairs, pick up an Apple and a Bread as a reward, then go through the door.

Turn on the conductor, then run south and right through the wall (AVOID the teleporter, which'll take you back to the beginning *headache* ) and up through the door. Which closes if you don't reach it before the current goes bye-bye. Which means ya gotta do it over again. ... NNNOOO!!!

*breathes* Here, you can't go left, cause of some "mysterious force" (which, unfortunately, isn't disabled by that stupid ruby from the beginning of the game. Bah, stupid ruby). Enter the door, hit the switch to the north, then go right and up to get a Sylphs Broom for Arche. Go south and left, up the stairs, hit the switch behind the conductor, then turn on the current and run right and up through the door. This next area causes a headache and a half! Use the SP now... OK! This is how this works: The door only opens if the left current is running, which'll only run if the middle one's on, which'll only turn on after you've triggered the rightmost one... AUGH!

OK, OK! Here's what I did: Use a Holy Bottle when you're near the sign at the top-right. Get between the right and middle conductor-thingies, so that you can't move right or left (picture at left), and only have space to turn around and/or go up. Turn on the right conductor (it won't look like it's on, but it is, trust me), then spin around and turn on the middle one, then run to the left one, and run out the door! *whew*

OK, re-equiption time! Put a Body Amulet on Cless, and replace the Sorcerer's Ring. Then go north. And Volt is swearing! Heh.


Boss: Volt, Alraine (2)
HP: Volt: 28,000, Aruroun: 2,200
TP: Volt: 400, Aruroun: 100
Attacks: Drain, ThunderBlade


OK, there are two different things that you can do at the beginning: either use Indignation to wipe out all the Alraine at once (and heal Volt at the same time) (although this is my favourite tactic, since you won't need the Body Amulet for this), or use Judgement twice to eliminate those annoying Alraine. Don't have Cless equipped with the Dragon Tooth, as all it does is occasionally knock out Volt, without doing any damage (kinda like Pow Hammer). If you have Klarth in your party, make sure you disable Luna, and disable Ray, Lightning Blade, Lightning, etc., in Arche's menu. Use Lightning Tiger Spear to get rid of the Alraines, then switch to Tiger Blade on Volt. Just keep using Judgement and Maxwell and this fight should be over pretty soon.

Afterwards, Klarth contracts with Volt. Go south, and Cless'll tell Arche to fly down and get the treasure. Heh. Looks like there's some bad blood between those two... Haha! Bah. *doesn't like Arche much, either* *simply adores Chester* (Arche says: Hey!) (Chester: ^_^) (Klarth says: Hey, what about me?) ... *thinks Klarth's still an ass, although a tolerable, funny, semi-useful ass* (Klarth says: ... I don't know whether to take that as a compliment, or what...)

Ah yes, the ?Armor is a Star Cloak. Woo! Go south from here, then right, and step on the teleporter. Then just go south to leave the cave. Stay the night at an inn for a scene between Cless and Chester, then leave and re-enter and sleep there again for another scene.

Talk to the blonde elf at the southern entrance to learn about Aska (and you should know by now that I don't have you talk to people if there isn't a purpose to talking to them...). Heh. That, eh, "lady," in the Adventurer's Guild must be pretty damn old by now... Ksssh... *cracks up* Some people will tell you about Ifreed the pirate and his treasure, but you don't have to talk to them, since I'll tell you myself that his son's alive and his treasure's out there somewhere. But we'll get to that later... Also, the guy in the inn will mention the Three Weapons briefly, but you don't need to talk to him either. Talk to the guy on the roof of the house to the right of the main entrance to the city (next to the girl with green hair). He tells you about the ninja village...

Buy a Holy Rod for Mint, a new ribbon for Arche, and a new weapon for Cless. Personally I'm going with the Holy Sword. Ah yes. The kid. You can race here, too. The prizes are: S-Flag, Silver Mattock, Flare Spread, and a Shortbow. Try to enter the castle, and the guards stop you. And call you a commoner! Hmph! Well, I never... Hi, Harrison Ford! Yeah, yer damn right yer sorry! Heh. LUNDGROM!! *hugglesh* ^~__~^ Um... er... my Cless sprite keeps changing to some weird-looking dude... ^<__<^;; Creepy.

OK, well, there's no more Prince Charles, just some dopey Princess. OK, you know the way downstairs... The lady in red tells you what the three weapons are (you have one already, the Diamond Ring). The elf in the next room says that you need to get Origin to fuse the Three Weapons. ... how is a ring a weapon anyway?? Eh. OK, time fer more exploration!

First things first! To the psychobitch's house! (yes, I mean Arsia) Knock on the door, and... heeee? Brambert!? YOU'RE ALIVE! ^O__O^;; ... what do you mean how are we alive, you're the one who was turned into a statue for the rest of Eternity! After a scene, you get Chester's old bow back. Which is now brand spankin' new. Yay! Yeah, she was a selfish bitch, so I don't care about what happened to her. Although Brambert is sad. :o( Oh well. You can leave now. Enter Edward's house and inspect his bed to find a Statue of Friendship. Hurray for collectors items. ^<__<^;;

Enter the top-right cave and go down the rope. Down and left is a Reverse Doll (what the hell are Hill Giants doing in a cave??), and at the top-right is a Mist Orb (south of the covered-up hole). Right and down from there is an Iron Boots, and down, left, up, left, down, left, and up from there is the Amethyst Ring (behind the second covered-up hole). OK, now get the heck outta there.

Fly around Freland (off the coast) til you find a little black island with a house on it. They've got a lot of stuff (EXPENSIVE), so use a Rune Bottle on a Charm Bottle, then use the resulting Miracle Charm to buy stuff. The Crescent Bow isn't better than the one you got from Brambert, so don't bother wasting yer g on that. Don't worry about the combo command item for right now... just remember where this place is and come back for it when you care (it allows you to do any tech in battle, as long as you know the code for it).

Go to the south oasis in Freland to get the Phoenix Blade combo for 40000g. There's a chick in the northern oasis who'll give you a white card for your brown card. Now go back to the Unicorn Forest (map) and grab the new Oriental Herbs (6) growing there. They'll sell for 21,420g each in Alvanista.

Arche... you... are weird... ^<__<^;; Anyways. Leave and come right back for another scene, then go inside. Screw, that's not right. OK, go right, up and around, and down the stairs. Cross the bridge, flip the switch, enter the door at the top-left, go up, down the stairs, left, up the stairs and through the door. Head up, a bit right, and down the two flights of stairs. Grab the Sapphire Ring, then go back upstairs. Head north and get the Ice Wall Spell for Arche out of the chest. Now, just keep heading south until you get to the room with the bridge and the switch, flip the switch, then take the south-left staircase, down and right and up the stairs, then south to exit.

Go right and up through the door. Go down the stairs, down the stairs, down the stairs... take the left-most door and head through to the back. Go right and down the stairs. Cross the bridge and go through the door. In this next area, enter the left-most door to get the Emerald Ring. OK, now to get out of here... Head south, left, up the stairs, left, down, down some more, all the way right, up the stairs, north, and up the other stairs. Exit bottom-left to leave!

Once you get to Central Processing, check Cust. Choose 3. Klarth sets Aska free, who then grants him a contract. Yay! You can also heal while you're here... crap, now to get out of here! Find the freaking key again, and hope you get the door that leads back outside!! *tears hair*
