So before I start off with my walkthrough, I am going to explain a few things that I will and will not do.
I will be pointing out what items are lying around in the zone, but I will not be telling you where they are. Some of them are easy, and Dart will practically trip on them, on his way to the next area. Other's are a little bit harder to find, and will require you go searching about.
I will walk you too better items (such as the 1st Therapy ring in Hellena 2nd visit) because some of them you cannot come back to, and I wouldn't want you to miss it.
I will point out if there is a Stardust in the area, but I will not say where. If you need to know, go to the Stardust section.
I will let you know about bosses, but won't go into too much detail about fighting them. If you want to be fully prepared, read up to the next boss, and look them up in the Bestiary. Find out their element, and try to bring magics accordingly. Most stores are stocked with magic that will help you against an upcoming boss, but not always the immediate one after the shop.
I will point out optional bosses, and let you know when you can fight them, if you can't immediately.
I will not be describing how to get from one zone to another on the world map. All areas are connected with a dotted line, so getting hopelessly lost is impossible. Just pay attention where you should be going, and hop on that dotted line. If you can't do that, you probably can't read, so explaining it to you would be impossible.
I will not tell you which party to use. Don't listen to anybody else, I have beaten the game with both Kongol and Meru and Miranda and whoever, play with whoever you like the most.
I will not tell you to go get Legendary Casque, Armour of Legends, and Phantom Shields for your entire party or a battle. Every battle is beatable without them, with strategy and proper preparation. If someone is saying that that is needed to win, well then they're not very good.
And I am sure I will add and take away from the walkthrough over time, so enjoy.
Chapter 1: Serdian War
Seles
Items: Burn Out
Stardust: 1
After the opening scene with the girl getting taken. You will come to Dart. Not much to do here, except hit next and listen to what is happening. He will get attack by a dragon, and eventually saved by a female warrior. He will run off when hearing about the attack, and once he jumps down a hill, you will start controlling him.
Run to the broken fence a yellow diamond with an "!" in it will appear over Dart's head. I will call use from now on, and when I say to use something, it means that that symbol has appeared.
You will have a conversation with the two soldiers and then attack.
First battle isn't too hard. Just keep hitting them. Try hitting "x" as the two squares meet, don't worry if you can't do it yet, you will be able to have a practice battle shortly.
After the fight, the soldier will run away. The small pillar of light is a save point. Walk into it and hit "o" your menu button to use them.
Continue to the left, and you will have a scene with Plos. He will tell you about the girl,Shana, getting taken away. A commander will come running in, and will tell you where they have taken her, then attack. Two normal guys like the last fight are here, along with the commander. Take one soldier out and the other will run away. Guard if you must for HP, or use a healing potion if you want to go a little faster. After the fight, you say a few more things to Plos and then head out.
Head up to exit the town, but if you want to practice your additions, talk to the guy in white armour. His name is Master Tasman, and will practice battle you for as long as you want before you leave the town. Head on out and to the forest
Seles Forest
Items: Burn Out, Charm Potion, Healing Potion, 20g
There is a merchant almost immediately inside the entrance of the forest. He will teach you a couple things if you want, otherwise he has some items.
Go up from him.
Go across the tree in the next scene, and then down that path.
Keep going down, down the second tree, and off to the right.
And off the Hellena Prison with you.
Hellena Prison
Items: Angel's Prayer x2, Burn Out, Leather Jacket, Spark Net, 20g x2, 50g
Follow the cart down the winding path. Notice your little arrow over head is always red. There are no random encounters here, you will only fight if you run into a guard.
You wait behind the wagon until the guard waves it through. Then use the wagon and you will hop on and get a ride inside.
Head to the left, the merchant will run off for help, and you will fight a guard. He will then apologize and offer to sell you items.
Go out this way.
Go to the right in the next area, and up the stairs through the door.
Fight the guard and go up the ladder, across the little bridge and up the stairs.
When outside, go across the bridge and use the lift.
Go into the tower, and a little scene will play out ending up with Lavitz joining you, and the two of you fighting some guards.
After that's done, go to the right, and back outside.
There should be a second lift down now. Go up in this, and go across the bridge to the left and into the room.
There will be a bunch of guards, and you characters will talk, and find a key.
Go back outside, across the bridge and into the door.
In the tower, head left, until you fight the three guards outside the door.
When that's done you will go into the cell and get Shana. There will be another fight without Shana fighting yet, and then she says she wants to fight as well and grabs a bow. You now have a magic user!
Now it's time to escape. Go back to the right and out of the tower.
Go down the two lifts, back across the bridge to the right through the door.
Down the stair, bridge, ladder, and out into the main area.
Here you will fight Freugel
Boss Fight: Freugel
First real boss. Easy enough, just remember Shana is the only who should use magic.
After the fight, you all escape and end up in the prairies.
Prairie
Item: Angel's Prayer
Once you get to control your party again, run away down and to the left.
Lavitz will get hit by an arrow, and another scene will be played out.
When the guards run off, follow the path up and to the left.
Run to the river, they will say something about needing to cross.
Run back down and exit to the bottom left this time.
Another scene will play out, leaving you in the shed.
Out and to the path going out through the top.
There should be a half cut down tree here, which you will mention getting cut down, but not with your sword.
Go back down to the shed and grab the axe shining there.
Back out and up to the tree.
You will cut it down, but it will fall down below. Oops.
Anway, back down and out to the right, then back to the top left where the river is.
The tree flows and stops exactly where you need it too, what luck.
Go across the tree and exit.
Single path here, just go along it and leave through the top.
Limestone Cave
Items: Angel's Prayer, Bandanna, Bastard Sword, Body Purifier x2, Burn Out, Charm Potion, Detonate Rock, Healing Potion, Poison Guard, Spark Net, Total Vanishing, 20g, 50g, 100g
Go down cross the bridge and down off the screen.
Run or slide down the path to the bottom and exit.
Hop the stones, down to the bottom again. Lavitz will almost die, eating too much jerky lately I betcha, but Dart saves them, then after some weird freindship speech, they walk off to the bottom.
Go down to the second from the bottom path.
There's some glowing things floating around.
Go use them, and you will find out what they do. I think there are only two other places in the game you will encounter them, but they can be useful.
Now go to the bottom path and off to the right.
On this path, go around onto the rocks at the bottom of the screen, and out the door to the right.
Whip through this area going right.
The next area snakes around. Go all the way to the top, where the exit is.
There will be a screen where a giant centipede type thing attacks.
Boss time.
Boss Fight: Urobulos
Remember, Shana uses magic. The others just attack. When he goes into the rocks, the two guys guard and heal Shana if need be. Easy and done.
Head out through the top.
Last tunnel. Just follow the tunnel to the top and exit.
Bale
Items: Active Ring, Healing Breeze, Sparkle Arrow, 20g x3, 50g, 100g
Stardusts: 6
When you enter, go up and to the left.
Keep going straight until you find the castle.
Go up the long flight of stairs into the castle.
Keep going up the stairs until you reach the throne room, they do coil around at one point so don't get confused.
There will be a bit of talking when you get there ( !!! The hooded man is there in the back !!! )
Shana will go outside, follow with Dart.
There will be more talking, and the party decides to go to Hoax, but first to Lavitz's house.
Go out, and down all the stairs out of the castle.
Keep going down until you hit the first part of town.
Now go to the far right and go through the top.
There should be a large house at the top of this area, it's Lavitz's, so go inside
When inside, there will be a lot of talking.
Ask Lavitz for a tour of the house and go upstairs to the far left room.
When you go inside the library, Lavitz will move a big ladder, and the two of you will go onto the roof
There will be more talking, then you will be called for dinner.
After more talking with the party and Lavitz's mother, the party will decide to stay the night.
Talk to Lavitz's mother when you're ready to leave.
The next day, go back out, down to the first section of town.
As you are going to leave, you will run into Martel. She will call Shana a baby and be generally rude.
She is the one you give the Stardust to. She will be in town, in the house to the left of Lavitz's for all of Disc 1
Leave the town and head for Hoax
Hoax
Items: Angel's Prayer, Healing Potion, 20g
Stardusts: 2
When you get to Hoax, you need to find Kaiser. He is in the center building in the town.
He will get Dart and Shana to go look around town if they want while he has a meeting with Lavitz.
Look around, or just talk to Lavitz when you are done.
Dart and Lavitz will be put on night watch.
Go out of the building, and up the long flight of stairs, to the back guard spot on the top of the wall.
They will relieve the guard there.
Night will come and they talk for a bit. Dart will decide to go get something to eat and begins to decide.
The attack will come when he's halfway down, and you will run around fighting Sandorans for a bit.
Eventually you will control Dart and run back to the top of the wall, where a different looking Sandoran just came over.
He's a little tougher, but nothing special. When he splits into three, only the real one will use magic, so remember that.
After that fight, Kongol comes in.
Boss time
Boss Fight: Kongol
Extremely weak magic defense. Make sure to finish your additions. Failing to do so will cause Kongol to counterattack.
After the battle, Kongol is going to kill Dart, but is saved by Rose "awakening" Dart's dragoon spirit. Hurray, finally! They talk after Dart passes out.
Outside, you get news of another fort being overrun. You decide to go after the Dragon, and Rose joins you. Both Dart and Rose can become a dragoon now.
As you are about to leave, Rose waits by the wall and offers a tutorial on Dragoons. Accept of decline and then leave the town.
Marshland
Items: Healing Potion, Lance, Spirit Potion, Sun Rhapsody x2
Stardust: 1
The required journey through th Marshland is relatively short. You simply go up and to the top left. However, there are a couple of extras to this place.
The first is to the left in the marsh. There are massive tree roots you can walk on and a boat. That is where most of the items are.
Going straight up, will bring you to a fort.
You go in and fight several Sandorans and a Commander.
Inside the fort, you find the head of the knighthood.
When you're done with both, head back to the main area.
Head to the top left a couple times and you are out.
Volcano Villude
Items: Mind Purifier, Panic Guard, Sapphire Pin, Spear Frost, 50g
Follow the path up, and you will run from the Fire Bird into the cave
In the cave, follow the path around and to the right.
Follow the next path straight up and to the left.
Hop to the other side by the save point, and continue left.
Jump from rock to rock, towards the bottom of the screen.
Shana will run off, follow her.
There will be a scene, where you find out Shana is abnormal, and then...
Boss time.
Boss Fight: Virage
Just hit the head. The thing is barely clinging on to life as it is. Take out the head and the whole thing dies.
Now that the thing is dead. Run out to the right, and keep right.
You will run in to Dabas, who will give Shana a Sapphire Pin.
Run out to the right, and around the circle
It's the birdie again
Boss time
Boss Fight: Fire Bird
He's fire, don't use Burn Outs. If you found that Spear Frost, oh yeah. Shana or Rose only though.
Finish your loop around and run out the top
Keep following the path out and off to the Dragon's Nest
Dragon's Nest
Items: Bravery Amulet, Body Purifier, Chain Mail, Mind Purifier, Spirit Potion
Almost a straight shot to the nest, go up.
Now go right, there will be a short scene were Shana runs off, but you'll come back to where you were, and keep going right.
Now run up again, onto the large web, and fall through.
When you're at the bottom, you can drink the water for a complete heal, nice.
Here's kind of a tricky part.
Run up and use the pillar, and you will climb up it.
Now follow the path and slide down the other chute.
Now go to the tunnel down at the bottom right.
Now follow the tunnels until you climb up a pillar again.
At the top here, there show be a dark plant that kind of looks like a lamp.
Touch the plant, and the second gate like plant blocking the path should wilt.
Now go back down and follow the tunnels, to the main area at the bottom right.
Go up the pillar in the corner down there.
You will be on a path with two of the lamp-like plants. One is for the chest one if for the first gate like plant on the path.
Touch them both
Now go back to the chute in the bottom corner.
Go to the pillar near the top right, it's the only other one on the path.
Now go up to the light at the end of the tunnel.
There will be a short scene where you meet the Dragon and his Dragoon.
Boss time
Boss Fight: Greham and Feyrbrand
Greham just damges you , whereas Feyrbrand can cast all sorts of status ailments. Kill Feyrbrand first, he has less defense. Once he is gone, Greham is pretty easy.
Lavitz will get Greham's Dragoon Spirit.
Shana gets sick, so you need to get to Lohan
Go use the web in the back, this will allow you to climb up
Now go to the top right and off to Lohan.
Lohan
Items: 100g, 200g
Stardusts: 4
There will be a scene talking about Shana's sickness, when you get to control again, you will be outside the clinic.
Go down to the bottom bridge and go across.
There should be a building with a blue door, go inside
This is Dabas's shop, there will be a scene here, and off you go to get some Dragoni Plant.
Go back across the bridge, and down to the lower level of town.
You will begin talking to a street vendor about a water bottle.
If you never agree with him, he will eventually give you the bottle for free.
Now off to the left, and back to the Dragon's Nest
Dragon's Nest
Items: Whatever you left
So you can get the water two ways, either hopping down the hole from the top and running down through the nest part, or hop around the hole, and jump down where you had fallen down the first time. It doesn't matter which you do.
Now use the water and you will collect some. (May as well use it again to fully heal your guys)
Go straight up the pillar, and all the way up the path to where you fought the dragon and climb out.
Hop around the hole, by going to the right of the sign and start jumping.
When you get to the other side of the hole, run down to the path where Shana ran off from the group before.
There should be a large ugly plant there.
Go use the plant, and you will fling the water onto it, and it will wilt and die.
Go straight up through the top and run to Shirley's Shrine
Shirley's Shrine
Items: Demon Stiletto, Healing Breeze, 20g x7
If you know all the tricks to this place, it is extremely easy, if not, well it can take some time.
I will give you the extremely easy way.
First of all, none of the chests are real, until you beat the boss.
So run along the path and into the shrine.
Once inside, go straight back, all the way up the furthest stairs
There is a little combination box up here, the combination is 352
A ladder in the top right should be dropped, go up it
Now you can't go up the stairs, until the statues are facing the right way.
The gold one needs to face front
The grey one needs to face left
Go up the stairs.
Follow the path to the platform, and Drake comes out
Boss time
Boss Fight: Drake the Bandit
Straight forward. He has a few trick. The bombs will hit hard if you don't destroy them, and the wire protects him from physical attacks, while it's up.
After the fight Shirley will challenge you.
Now don't fight here, she only hits you if you attack her.
Have all your characters guard.
She will start asking your characters questions, and if you get them wrong, she will ask you them again.
Q1. Dart, Lavitz, Why do you fight?
A. To protect those we love.
Q2. Dart, I've been waiting. Why did you leave without saying goodbye?
A. To pursue the Black Monster
Q3. Dart, what are you going to do after you find the Black Monster?
A. Of course, get revenge!
Q4. Please forget about revenge and be with me. The Black Monster or me, Dart?
A. Shana
Q5. Lavitz! What are you doing here? Forget Shana and come back.
A. That's not like you!
Q6. Lavitz! Are you disobeying my orders? Choosing one over many?
A. Shana needs me!
Now the next three don't have a correct answer.
Shirley will give you the White Silver Dragoon Spirit and depart.
Go into the room behind her, where all the real treasure chests are.
Head back to Lohan
Lohan
Items: 100g, 200g (same as before)
Stardusts: 4 (same as before)
Go to the clinic. It's the yellow arrow along the side of the second level.
Shana will power the Dragoon Spirit and heal herself.
She is now a Dragoon as well
The doctor will mention a hero competition.
Off the arena.
Go down to the first level, where the street vendor is, and off to the right.
Enter the tent, and go around the right side, and talk to the person behind the counter at the entrance to the fighting area.
Go down inside when you are ready.
A scene will play out, and then you will be left alone with an attendant wearing green.
Talk to the attendant when you want to do the next fight.
You will always fully heal after each fight, and if you do lose, you pass to the next round due to varying events, so don't waste healing items.
First Fight: Gorgaga
He will poison you, but he's an easy beat
Second Fight: Serfius
He will power up at half HP
Third Fight: Danton
He will use an all out attack that will bring you down to 1HP. One more successful addition will take him out.
Fourth Fight: Atlow
He will do a special after 4 moves that fears you
Fifth Fight: Lloyd
You cannot hit Lloyd. And even if you stand there and guard, he will eventually do a finisher that takes you out. Try to lose as fast as possible.
Second place for you, so sad.
You introduce Haschel to the gang, and then go out with Shana on Lavitz insistence
You must play one game before continuing.
When you are done, leave the tent, and go to leave town
At the entrance of town, a soldier comes in and informs you Albert's been taken.
Haschel will punch out an unreasonable Lavitz, and you'll end up back at the clinic.
When he comes to, it's off to Hellena again, with Haschel.
Hellena Prison
Items: Felt Hat, Healing Potion, Leather Armour, Pandemonium, Sachet, Silver Embroidered Vest, Therapy Ring, Thunderbolt
Note: Therapy Ring. I will walk you through getting this item, as it is a nice one. You MUST get it on this visit, because after this, Hellena is inaccessible.
A little later then you were last week, but not by much. That merchant has just crossed, and with his amazing martial skills, Lavitz gets the gate opened for everyone.
Anyways, this time you come in the main way.
Go out over to the left, past where you defeated Freugal last time.
There's a lift over here that was out of order last time, use it.
-
This is how you get the therapy ring
Get off at the first stop. And go through the door in front of you
Go to the only door on you right.
Follow this path, past the felt hat chest, the bridge over the merchant, and over the entrance.
In the last room the path will end at the chest for the Therapy Ring.
Equip it to whoever you want it to, you will probably use it for most of the game.
Go back to the lift
-
Get back on the lift and continue going up.
You will come to the room, where you found Shana's room key last time.
You get surrounded, and dropped into a dungeon. Oops.
Get the Sachet at the top and then go talk to Shana.
She will mention a breeze, coming out of the wall.
Go use the wall by here, where there is a big rock in a hole.
As you rejoice over finding a possible exit, the monster attacks.
Boss time
Boss Fight: Jiango
He is a pain. Definitely harder then the upcoming boss fight. It says to use the Sachet to put him to sleep for 3 turns. It's not a bad idea, but I like saving Sachets for special monsters. Hit him hard and fast, and don't be afraid to use items, and guard. I know Shana especially gets wasted, because of her low level from being MIA with Dragon poisoning.
The monster has shaken the wall loose, where the breeze was, as off you go.
Follow the path up, fighting guards along the way.
At the top, back in the room where you were dropped into the dungeon, there will be three guards.
Two will attack you.
When you defeat them, the other will run, follow him.
Keep fighting your way, all the way to the top of the prison.
When you are there you will run into Freugal, who is just about to smash Albert
Boss time
Boss Fight: Freugal, Guftas, Rodriguez
Take out Guftas first, then Rodriguez. After Jiango this should be a cake walk.
There will be a scene with Lloyd being revealed as the hooded man. He kills Lavitz. You end up in Seles, with King Albert, as the new Dragoon in place of Lavitz.
When you are in the room, talk to everyone, when you have Albert will talk, and the group decides to go to Kazas and deal with Emporer Doel directly.
Kazas
Items: Attack Ball, Twister Glaive, 20g
Stardusts: 6
So there are a couple shops, items, and stardusts in the city, but for this walkthrough, we want to get to the Black Castle
You will come to the castle's front gate, not a good place to go, when your plan is to kill their leader.
Go up and around, you will come to the fort town.
Go down to the first door, and go inside.
Go to the left and down the ladder through the floor
Run to the right side and go down the ladder, and then go to the door on the farthest left.
You will then talk to Popo. He will tell you a little about himself and about the New Serdio Party.
He will ask you questions and you need to get them right. They are as follows
Q1. Which country do you want to win? Basil or Serdio?
A. I cannot say which
Q2. During the war, what should powerless kids like us do?
A. Take care at home.
Q3. Why do people have to fight?
A. To protect something.
Popo will get really excited and bring you down into the secret entrance to the castle.
Follow him to the hole, and tell him you are ready.
Rose will jump down first and the rest will follow
Once you are down, go down the furthest right rope.
Then go to the furthest left rope and go down.
Now walk across the bottom to the right.
Climb up to the top and you will be in Black Castle
Black Castle
Items: Beast Fang, Dark Mist, Spark Net, Spear Frost, Spinning Gale, Spirit Ring
There are guards in this next area, walking around little walls.
You can either fight them, or try running around them, the choice is yours.
Either way, follow the pathway through
Then head to the ladder on the right and climb on up. You will get attacked by the guards
Up the ladder and go to the far end of the screen
Go into the door on the right side of the screen.
In here, to scientists will talk to you for awhile about magic, the white guy will heal you whenever you need, and they will give you the purple flame to light the lifts.
When they're done, go light the lift on the right side and go down.
Then go to the lift on the left and down.
You will come to the garbage area. You need to cross the bridge.
The trick to this is, don't get landed on by the falling garbage, and don't get seen by the garbage dumper, (he'll think you're a rat)
The garbage falls in different places each time, but try your best.
When you get across, open the chest, it contains a Red Stone.You will need this stone and two others to get to the throne room.
Go back across, if you haven't yet, fall down the pile, there's a couple things down there.
Then go back up the ladder, and the two lifts. To where the scientists are, and back out the door on the left.
Go to the lift on the left and go up. Fight the guard, and go through the door on the right.
Talk to the scientist. After a brief scene he will turn himself into a dog.
Go get the chest by the stairs, which is the Blue Stone.
Now go back out, and down the lift.
Go fight the two guards at the main lift at the top of the screen.
Go down this lift.
When you get off, go to the left, and up the lift.
Fight the three guards in the training area.
Now go up the lift on the right side.
There you will find the Commander who attacked Seles. Remember him from the opening movie. No epic duel here, just him asking you to change Emperor Doel back. And he gives you the Yellow Stone, so now you have all three.
Go back down the lift and go to the lift on the left.
Choose to go to the fourth floor.
Go through the door and around the statue to where the pedestal with the triangle is.
Use it and insert all three stones.
A door will open at the base of the Statue, go through it.
It's a large lift, use it.
Go to the left, on your way your characters will stop.
Kongol is here and upset about last time.
Boss time
Boss Fight: Kongol
Fairly easy. Still extremely weak to magic, and now you are Dragoons. Have Rose or Shana use items, or if you're confident, just pound him down, and save everything for Doel.
Continue on your was, past a broken down Giganto, and you're in the throne room
Boss time
Boss Fight: Emperor Doel, Dragoon Doel
Don't waste any magic or Dragoon form on Emperor Doel. Once you beat him down he will transform. His Dragoon form has lots more HP and def, but isn't too hard. Just unload on him. Oh and when he surrounds himself in a yellow shield, you can't hurt him. Just guard.
Once you beat him, Haschel will get his Dragoon spirit, and Doel tells you to follow Lloyd to Tiberoa.
Congratulations you have passed Disc 1
