You are escorted into a castle of sorts. Malice steals the pendant and Cless gets thrown in jail. Yes, your weapon is gone, this isn't Chrono Trigger.
Check the door, then check the hole in the back wall. Walk around for a bit and you'll eventually hear a voice. Inspect the hole again and the voice tells
you to put your hand through. Choose Yes, and you get... an earring. But wait! [BOOM] Heh, whoa is right. Enter the hole and Cless says something about
the woman. Inspect her body, and choose Yes. Equip the sword and open the door (you should also notice that your only empty slots are the ones for a
weapon and shield (so that's what the guards took from you), which is why I only had you upgrade Cless' other equipment in town). Go to the top-right cell
to get a Creamy Cheese, then go down one cell and free Mint. Despite her protests go down and right, into the water. Inspect the gate to get Mint's
brilliant deduction that it's a sewer entrance. Pry the gate open. |

Blah blah blah, OK, here we go! No, Mint doesn't have any skills yet... And she's only at lv. 2!! *sigh* OK, work with the girl and level her up, k? She
learns First Aid at level 3 (very useful!), and she doesn't have to master her techniques, or equip them. Right and down from where you came in is
an Apple Gummy. Up and right is an Orange Gummy. Further right from where you found the Apple Gummy is a Save Point. Go ahead and use it. Go up and
right... awww, Mint is sooo cute!! ^~__~^ *ahem* Anyway... the leeches around here are hell, unless you've leveled up some.
(*Tip: Press up and X to poke em. That way you have a better chance of actually hitting them. Or you can just Psion Bolt them
to death, which is what I tend do) The slime are worse though, since they come in groups of three. (*Tip: Keep your
distance! If you encounter slime, move all the way to the other side of the screen then attack from there, returning to the edge of the screen after every
blow. If one hits you, return to the edge of the screen as quickly as possible. Not only does this reduce your chances of getting hit since it's not an
up-front encounter, but jumping attacks cause more damage than regular ones) Go up, left, and down for a Wooden Shield. Go right and up the stairs,
and into the next screen.
Grab the Apple Gummy and go up. Go to the right first, not up yet. Up the stairs and right through the tunnel and down is a Savory. These increase how
much TP you can have (good!), but I don't suggest using it just yet. At some point in the near future you'll come across an item called a Rune Bottle,
which you can use on certain items to upgrade (or "transform") them. Click
here for a list of those items. When Mint learns
Pico Hammer (or Hammer, whatever), TURN IT OFF! Seriously, all it does is SOMETIMES make the enemy dizzy, it doesn't knock off any HP from them AT ALL,
and it wastes valuable TP. TP that she could be using to heal you or herself. Anyway, to the north is a Rapier, and I'm still debating on whether or not
it's any better than what you already have... Whatever, equip it if you wish.
Go right and use the Save Point, then take the upper-left path up and around to get 1,000 g. Now, go back to the weird-looking bat-guy in the back.
Boss: Sewer King/Devil, Slug (2)
HP: Sewer King: 250, Slug: 120
Attacks: physicals
My current level: Cless: 5, Mint: 3
My current formation: Mint all the way on the left, Cless one space in front of her
Something I'd like to get out of the way before we go any further: the difference between Recommended level and My current level is that Recommended
level is the level I think you should be at to defeat the enemy relatively easily without it being super-easy. A friend of mine using one of my walkthroughs
said it would be a good idea to put that for all the bosses, but I'd only put them down for the ones I thought needed them. "My current level" generally
means the lowest possible level you can be at to defeat the boss.
This time around, it doesn't matter if you kill off the main guy first because the slugs will keep coming after you, and they take off a lot of HP no
matter what level you're at. In your Formation menu, move Mint all the way to the left side of the screen, then move Cless so that there's one person-sized
space between him and Mint. Psion Bolt the slugs to death, and hope that the Sewer King doesn't get close before you finish them off. If the Sewer King
stays up high out of reach, back away from him about as far away as you'd need to if you were going to use Psion Bolt on him (and yes, I know Psion Bolt
won't hit him if he's flying high. Let me finish, willya?), then do the run-and-jump attack I talked about back when I mentioned the slime, then Dual Kick
or Psion Bolt him (if he's near the floor) until he goes poof. If the slugs are still around once you've finished off the Sewer King, just back away and
use Psion Bolt on the blighters.
After the battle, go up and out. You end up in a forest. Go south, and Mint gets attacked by a slug, but you push her out of the way. Awww, my HERO!
^~__~^ "ugh" ... how dignified. :op You faint, and Mint hears horses so she drags you away. Strong woman ^.__.^;;

You wake up in Tornix' house (the locked house you couldn't get into earlier), and they both tell you to go get some air outside. Um, k? Go out the door,
left and down the hallway, then down the stairs to the right and out the door. Walk around to the left, and someone shoots an arrow into the tree! Ack!
But don't worry, it's just Chester! Yay! Tornix and Mint come out of the house, and Tornix asks about the pendant. He gets rather upset when he finds out
that the pendant was stolen. He says he must go to the Mausoleum, but he won't let you go with him.
Cless, Chester, and Mint hold a conference back in Tornix's study. They are interrupted by none other than... Master Tristan?? He also knew Meryl, Mint's
mother. Master Tristan tells you to meet him in the Mausoleum when you are ready. Head out the door and talk to the merchant at the door. Definately buy
a Rod for Mint if you didn't before, and whatever else you need. Don't get too hasty when buying a second Chain Mail cause you'll get one for free in a
minute. Head to the world map and level Mint up some, since she probably needs it (Chester will be at whatever level you left him off at earlier). You
can heal at Tornix's house for free. When you're ready, enter the cave to the east. |

Go up and cross the bridge. Keep going right and you'll see Master Tristan again. He teaches you Psion Kick (and, if you mastered Psion Bolt and Dual Kick
like I told you to, then you can equip this tech immediately). The door in the back will open now. Check the Maps section of this walkthrough ifya need
a map of this area. Follow the path til you get to a hallway with a bunch of doors. Open them all (except for the big one in the middle since you can't
open it yet anyway) and inspect the coffins. Choose Yes every time. The first room's coffin contains a Protect Ring, the next a Spy Lens, the next an
Hourglass, the next has that Chain Mail I told you about earlier, and the last contains a Rune Bottle (that item I mentioned earlier that transforms certain
items). When you're ready, go down the stairs. Follow the path and, when you go through the door, keep going south. In this new area, take the northern
door to get a Creamy Cheese. The southern door has an Apple Gummy. Go back to the last area and take the other door this time around. |

Take the door at the top for a Sabre, then go through the top-right door. Go through the other door there, down the hallway, and inspect the fourth statue here to hear a noise. Continue through
the double doors to get... another Chain Mail. Oh well, you can sell it off later. Go back to the previous room. Hey look, two chests! :oD Open them for a Sage and a Mixed Gummy. Take the door in front of
the one where you entered this area and go south and right. Enter the double doors to get an Orange Gummy, a Creamy Cheese, and a Remedy Bottle. Go back
to the last room and go right from the door where you entered here. Grab the Cheese, use the Save Point, and inspect the statue.
Mini-Boss: Golem
HP: 280
Attacks: physicals
Recommended level: 9
My current level: Cless: 6, Mint: 5, Chester: 5
My current formation: Mint all the way to the left, Cless two spaces in front of her, Chester one space in front of him
Use Lightning Bolt on him, and he's gone after about three. Most physical attacks won't work on him. If you don't have Lightning Bolt, then just Psion
Kick or even Dual Kick him to death. Yes, this can be done at level 6 (and possibly 5), but having Lightning Bolt makes it a LOT easier.
Afterwards, pull the statue left, down, and further left onto the switch to open that door. Go through it and get the Lace Ruby out of the chest. Make
your way back to the first hallway. What, you're lost? (if you're not, then skip the next paragraph). Alright, to get back from the room where you found
the Lace Ruby (although you could check the Maps area of this walkthrough if you're so inclined, but for the 56K-ers out there...): Leave the room,
go right, up, and out the door. In this next area, go left and down. Take the door to the north, and go up the stairs. Now, just keep following the path
til you get to the long hallway.
You can open the middle door now. Do so. Step on the weird symbol to teleport out of here. Where in the name of Hades and Hellfire...?? (actually, that's
a pretty good description of it right there) Anyway, first things first: Take the floating block that comes to the top of this platform. Pull the lever,
then take the other floating platform to the north. Get the Cheese and the Rabbit's Foot out of the chests and go back to the original platform. (No, don't
worry, there's no way you can fall into the lava) Go a bit left and south and take the platform that eventually appears there. Get the Reverse Doll and
go back. Take the floating platform that lands where the piece of floor was created by the lever. You dropped the what?! "Doh!" ... *sigh* well, now you'll
have to go get it, won't you? Go down the stairs, and... dammit. *sigh* Now we have to go back to get the darned thing... Go back up the stairs and
step on the other weird symbol on the floor here. Time it just right so that the floating platform back is almost to the platform you're on. Go left and
all the way down, and hurry! You don't want to be caught in the next room when this flying thing wears off (no, you don't fall into the lava, stop asking
that!). Go to the left to pick up the Lace Ruby again, then keep going down and right to get a Lavender. Run back out, cause if you touch the floor, it
knocks off 20HP per hit.
Return to the platform with the flying symbol on it (and don't drop the Ruby this time!). Go through the door, use the Save Point, and keep going north.
Boss: Golem (2)
HP: 280
Attacks: physicals
Recommended level: 9
My current level: Cless: 6, Mint: 5, Chester: 5
Use Lightning Bolt. What else can I say? It's the same thing as the other golem, cept there's two of em this time. Yup, can still be done at level 6-7.
Oh yeah, if you still don't have Lightning Bolt, then do this: Take out the one on the right first with Dual Kick, then go into your battle menu and change
formation so that Cless is in front of the other Golem, as opposed to whomever you had back there. Now, Dual Kick away!
OK, unequip all of Chester's stuff. No, seriously. You'll see why in a minute. Continue on through the door. *wonders what Tornix has been doing this
whole time that you've been wandering around the Mausoleum* He's not all that happy to see you. "Tornix, what the HELL are you talking about?" That cracks
me up. :op After much explanation, catastrophe, and death, Tornix starts mumbling something. ... CHESTER! NOOOOO!!
