===============================================================================Introduction [PasiGoh]

===============================================================================

Hi there. This is a walkthrough I've been working on for quite some time. Itaims to cover as much information on the PSP Role Playing Game Brave Story: NewTraveler as possible. This is a pretty huge game, even when compared to manygames on non-handheld consoles, so naturally, my walkthrough has turned out tobe rather large. Still, I hope and believe that finding information on whatyou're looking for isn't too hard. Take a look at the table of contents aboveif you're not sure about where to start looking. As for what I've covered inthis walkthrough, I find it easier to have you look for yourself, instead oftelling you about it in the introduction. Ok? Good, now we're friends :)

I hope you find my work useful, and that you'll tell me about it if you do. Ifyou know about something that should be added to one of the sections of thisdocument, I'd be happy to receive a mail about that as well. There's alwaysroom for improvement in all kinds of works; my walkthroughs are no exception.If you know of something you think other Brave Story players could find usefor, you can mail me about it, and I'll consider adding your information to thewalkthrough, giving you credit in the 'Greetings & Stuff' section.

One of the reasons I'm writing for is to get feedback from people, so don'thesitate contacting me at all. I'm not extremely scary or anything, I hope.

the character using an item or skill (like wake water, camping items), findan inn to sleep at, or use a healing point found in dungeons. As for BP,you'll need it for pulling off Bravura Skills, which are pretty much the sameas magic attacks are in other games. You can restore BP by attacking enemies.Dealing lots of damage to your enemies will restore more BP than doing just atiny bit of damage. Read more about this in the Battle System section.

- Be Aware of Your Enemies: Brave Story: New Traveler is a game that follows

the rules of good, old Role Playing Games. Because of this, most enemyencounters are random. When walking around in dungeons, similar places, andon the world map, you will often encounter enemies without even seeing thembefore you're in the middle of the battle. You should always be prepared tofight, so try not walking around for too long with characters that have lowhealth. In towns where people live however, there are usually no enemies.

- Avoid Confusion in Towns: There are several towns in the game, and in all ofthem, there are many kinds of stores and buildings. Many buildings haveemblems hanging one their walls, so that identifying what kind of store orbuilding is found inside. The various emblems and their meanings are:

.------------------.---------------------.--------------------------------.

| EMBLEM ICON | BUSINESS | PURPOSE OF BUSINESS ||------------------|---------------------|--------------------------------|| Bed | Inn | Sleep to regain HP/BP, save |+------------------+---------------------+--------------------------------+| Sword & Shield | Armory | Buy weapons & armor |+------------------+---------------------+--------------------------------+| Pouch | General Store | Buy healing & misc items |+------------------+---------------------+--------------------------------+| Firewyrm | Branch | Highlander/Peacekeeper HQ |+------------------+---------------------+--------------------------------+| Keg | Tavern | Hear the latest gossip |+------------------+---------------------+--------------------------------+| Wagon | Darbaba Stable | Nothing in particular! |

'------------------'---------------------'--------------------------------'

- Saving & Healing: There are two ways to save your game in Brave Story: NewTraveler. The first way, which is the most comfortable one, is to head insidean inn in a town or city, and talk to the owner there. You'll be able to saveyour progress for free at the inn, and for a small fee, you can sleep theretor restore all of your HP/BP. The second option is to use a so-called MemorySphere, or Save Point, if you fancy. Save Points are bright, blue spheresfloating above the ground. Touching a Save Point lets you save your progressfor free. However, the Save Points are usually located in dungeons, far awayfrom towns and cities, and won't heal you in any way. If you want to healwhile being in a dungeon, you'll have to either use a healing item from yourinventory, or find a Healing Glim, also called Healing Point. The Healing

Points look similar to the Save Points, but are green instead of blue.

- Sidequests: After you've got an item called the Book of Quests, you can startaccepting sidequests, which are jobs various people want you to do for them.Sometimes, people want special items, and other times, you'll simply have todeliver their packages to someone. The sidequests are optional, but bycompleting them you'll often earn some really nice rewards. All sidequestswill be logged in your Book of Quests.

- Accessory Crafting: Almost all Role Playing Games developed sometime duringthe last ten years have had some kind of item crafting, mixture mixing or


6/144

alchemy system. New Traveler is no exception, thankfully. After receiving theAccessory Book close to the beginning of the game, you'll be able to keep logof and collect various kinds of recipes, or diagrams, as they're called inthe game. By reading the Accessory Book you can see what kinds of items andmaterials are needed in order to produce certain accessories. Once you'vecollected the required items, you can create an accessory, and equip it inorder to boost your stats in some kind of way. All accessories boostdifferent stats. Have a look at the Accessory Crafting Guide I've written up

below the main walkthrough for more details.

===============================================================================The Battle System [PasiBat]

===============================================================================

- Bravura Skills: Bravura Skills are special skills that your characters willsometimes learn when leveling up. Bravura skills often deal lots of damagewhen used to attack enemies. However, not all Bravura skills are used fordealing damage, as some are used for healing your party members. Bravuraskills cost BP (Brave Power) to use, just like magic skills cost MP in mostother Role Playing Games.

- Unity Skills: The Unity Skills are pretty much the same as Bravura skills,but there is one main difference. The difference is that Unity Skills areskills where several party members combine their powers. This means that youwon't ever be able to pull one off if there's only one member in your party.Even though several characters combine their powers to pull of Unity Skills,it doesn't cost more than one character's turn to use them. While Bravuraskills are learned by leveling up, you will learn Unity skills as you fightwith certain party members in your combat group. There isn't a set number ofbattles you have to win before learning a skill - it seems to vary a lot, sokeep on fighting using the characters you want to learn unity skills with.

- Unity Guard: Characters that often use Unity Skills together are more likely

to run up in front of their partner and take a blow from an incoming enemyattack. This is called the unity guard system, and is very useful if one ofyour characters has a low amount of HP when he/she gets attacked. There is nomanual way to control exactly when the system is triggered.

- Brave Power: As mentioned above, Brave Power is consumed each time you usea Bravura or Unity Skill. You earn BP by fighting enemies. Dealing lots ofdamage to enemies earns you more BP than dealing little damage to them.

- Extra Attacks: Sometimes, you'll notice that your characters automaticallyattacks enemies two times in a row. This is called an extra attack, and willonly work with normal attacks. Extra attacks are usually triggered whenattacking enemies that have already been weakened by other attacks. In other

words, attacking weakened enemies is something you should aim to do.

- Experience Points: When winning against an enemy, a certain amount ofexperience points is handed out to your party members. The party memberswill split the amount of points between themselves in this way:

.----------------------------------------.--------------------------------.| PARTY MEMBER CONDITIONS | EXPERIENCE AWARDED ||----------------------------------------|--------------------------------|| Knocked Out in Battle | No experience |+----------------------------------------+--------------------------------+


7/144

| Not Participating in Battle | A Tiny bit of experience |+----------------------------------------+--------------------------------+| Taking Part in & Surviving a Battle | Good amount of experience |+----------------------------------------+--------------------------------+| Taking Part in & Finishing off Enemy | Highest amount of experience |'----------------------------------------'--------------------------------'

- Stats Explanation: Just like in any other Role Playing Game, there's a

handful of different stats. Each stat has a meaning. Here's an explanation:

.--------------------------.----------------------------------------------.| STAT NAME | MEANING ||--------------------------|----------------------------------------------|| Strength | Strength determines how much damage you're || | able to do when using physical attacks and || | non-magical Bravura Skills. |+--------------------------+----------------------------------------------+| Constitution | Having high constitution lessens the damage || | your characters take from non-magical || | attacks. |+--------------------------+----------------------------------------------+

| Agility | Determines the attack order. The character || | with the highest agility attacks first. |+--------------------------+----------------------------------------------+| Wisdom | High wisdom makes your magical attacks || | stronger. It also lessens the damage your || | characters take from magical attacks. |'--------------------------'----------------------------------------------'

- Status Ailments: Sometimes, when you get attacked by enemies, your characterswill get affected in certain ways, usually in a negative way that somehowlowers their stats. This is what Status Ailments are all about. There areseveral kinds of ailments, but happily, all of them can be cured by drinkingpotions, or waiting until it wears off by itself. The different kinds of

status ailments are as follows:

.--------------------------.----------------------------------------------.| STATUS AILMENT NAME | EFFECT ||--------------------------|----------------------------------------------|| Poison | Halves ATK, inflicts damage each turn |+--------------------------+----------------------------------------------+| Paralysis | Prevents character from taking action |+--------------------------+----------------------------------------------+| Confusion | Causes character to attack friends (or foes) |+--------------------------+----------------------------------------------+| Oblivion | Makes character unable to use Bravura Skills |+--------------------------+----------------------------------------------+

| Isolation | Prevents character for using Unity Skills |'--------------------------'----------------------------------------------'

- Elements: After getting one of the most important, non-optional items in thegame, the second gemstone, Tatsuya's sword will gain elemental powers,depending on what kind of second gemstone you choose (you get to pick one outof four stones, more information in the walkthrough for the chapter named'The False Highlanders) to take with you. After getting the second gemstone,Tatsuya's sword will gain the elemental power whenever his BP has been maxedout. The elemental power makes his sword stronger against certain types ofenemies, and makes the sword absorb incoming attacks, if they're of the same


8/144

element as the power his sword is carrying. For example, if your sword ispowered by the water gemstone, the sword will absorb incoming water attacks.

- Boss Battles: Most boss battles in the game are pretty simple. Not becausethey're very easy all the time, but because there's usually not a 'trick' towinning. What's most important is to not forget leveling your characters. Thebosses will crush you easily if you've been skipping out on battles. I'llgive hints and tips for each boss battle in the game, but in the end, you

won't stand a chance if your characters are too weak.

===============================================================================Prologue: Doorway to Destiny [Peps001]

===============================================================================-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Boy & Girl in the Park-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After you've chosen to start a new game from the o--------------------------omain menu, the game asks you to name the game's | ITEM CHECKLIST |hero. His default name is Tatsuya, and that is | |the name I'll use throughout this walkthrough. | Traveler's Mark.....[ ] |

Afterwards, you'll be asked to name the leading | |lady. Her default name is Miki, which is also o--------------------------othe name I will be using when referring to her inthe walkthrough. Miki & Tatsuya are sitting in a park. Tatsuya is playing on ahandheld game system. Miki gets a little upset, since Tatsuya promised her he'dtake the dog Kratos for a walk earlier this day. You'll get to respond to Mikiwith one out of two answers. Throughout the game, there are several times whenyou've got to choose between two answers, but the way this game was made, theoutcome is always the same, with the difference being in the conversationsbetween character only, and not in gameplay. So, tell Miki you want to play onemore level, or tell her you can't remember having promised her to walk the dog.

Miki leaves with the dog Kratos, but doesn't come back. Now Kratos returns and

makes Tatsuya follow him. On a sidewalk, the two of them find Miki lying on theground, fainted. What's happened to her? The screen blacks out. The next scenetakes place some days later, at the hospital Miki has been brought to. Whencoming to visit his friend, Tatsuya overhears a conversation between a doctorand Miki's father. The doctor says that Miki is suffering from an unknowndisease. Or, at least, they don't know what made her faint some days ago.What's worse is that she hasn't woken up yet - she's in some kind of coma.

Tatsuya runs out of the hospital and throws his gaming system on the ground. Afrog, which also appeared in the park earlier, pops up behind him. It startsspeaking about how Miki will never wake up again unless someone acts. The frogsays that Tatsuya can make her wake up again, if he's willing to go on a longjourney. The frog tells him to rise if he cares about Miki. If you tell the

frog you're scared, the frog says that you can turn off the POWER on your gamesystem, but that's not what you'll want to do, so Rise from the ground instead.Tatsuya received a [Traveler's Mark]. Now follow the frog into the magic gatethat appears in front of you. The adventure has begun!

===============================================================================Lau and the Cave of Trials [Peps002]

===============================================================================-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Wayfinder's Hut - Waking Up-------------------------------------------------------------------------------


9/144

Tatsuya wakes up in a forest, close to a o---------------------------owaterfall and a treehut. Speak to the green | ITEM CHECKLIST |bird, which is a Goalfinch, that is standing | |close to you. The Goalfinch vanishes, and | Mako Berry...........[ ] |leaves a jug behind. Examine the jug to find a | Map of Vision........[ ] |[Mako Berry]. Now head inside the treehut. In | |here you will find a chest containing the [Map o---------------------------o

of Vision], so make sure to take that one withyou. There is no one inside the hut, so head outside again after gettingthe Map of Vision. Now, go left from the treehut to reach the world map.On the world map, you can press the L button to unfurl the Map of Vision youfound inside the hut. When viewing the Map of Vision, you can press theTriangle button to switch between viewing icons for Towns & Dungeons, or viewboth kinds of icons at the same time. Nice, isn't it?

Just north of the Wayfinder's Hut, which is where you woke up a moment ago,there is a dungeon called Cave of Trials. Head over there right away.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Cave of Trials - Tatsuya's First Trial

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

o---------------------------------------------------------------------------o| || I T E M C H E C K L I S T || || Traveler's Sword.............[ ] Lau's Lunch..................[ ] || Leather Guards...............[ ] Mako Berries.................[ ] || |o---------------------------------------------------------------------------o

Run right through the short entrance corridor to find a room with four hugestatues. The statues start talking, claiming to be some kind of guardians!

They will now ask you a row of questions, which determines the beginning statsthat Tatsuya will receive to get his journey started for real. What you want toanswer the guardians is up to you, but the answers that I gave them myself, aremarked with a [s] below. This answer sequence is quite straight-forward, butlets you form your stats in a way you feel comfortable with yourself. Lucky :)

~ Give me unflinching bravery! [s]~ Give me iron defenses!

~ Give me wisdom to survive the day!~ Give me power to crush my enemies! [s]

~ Give me a strong body!

~ Give me a nimble body! [s]

~ Give me a resistant body! [s]~ Give me a resistant mind!

After giving the four guardians your answers, tell them that you're satisfiedwith your choices, if you really are. If not, tell them that you're notsatisfied to give the answer sequence another go. In the next room you'll meeta man that calls himself Wayfinder Lau. Lau lets you know what stats you startwith. He also shows you two useful things - the Memory Sphere and the HealingGlim. You can use them to save your game, and restore your health and magic.


10/144

The Memory Sphere, which is really a save point, is the blue-colored one, whilethe Healing Point is the green one. If you touch Healing Points, you will notonly restore all of your HP, but also cure status ailments and max out your BP.

Try them both out right away, if you feel like doing so. Before leaving, Laugives you the [Traveler's Sword] as well as some [Leather Guards]. Both areautomatically equipped, so don't worry. Head right into the next room. Talk tothe Goalfinch in the middle of the room, then take a look around you. Notice

all the doors? There's lots of doors in here! Behind each door, there is astatue. What you need to do, is to examine the statues that are not facing thebig room where the Goalfinch is standing. If you try moving a statue that isalready facing the correct direction, you will get attacked by enemies. Thestatues that need to be moved are, if you haven' found out yourself, the onesmarked with an [X] on this room map:

Lanka's Sweetheart [Peps003]===============================================================================-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lanka Forest - Meeting a Good Friend-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

o---------------------------------------------------------------------------o| |

| I T E M C H E C K L I S T || || Glistenstone.................[ ] Sniper's Bow.................[ ] || Jerky........................[ ] || |o---------------------------------------------------------------------------o

Lau warps you away from his hut, to a place where you can save and heal. Dothat, then run a little southwest to hear a girl's voice. Continue southwest tofind the girl, who is a.. hm.. catgirl. She's being attacked by monsterGimblewolfs. The girl joins your party for the battle against the monsters. Inbattle, you'll notice that this girl can, in addition to attacking with herbow, use a Bravura skill named Healing Melody, which is used for restoring HP.

Start killing the monsters, and keep doing so until you hear Lau's voicetelling you to lift your sword and make it flash. Tatsuya does so, and themonsters escape. The girl says her name is Yuno, and that she lives in the townof Lanka, just outside the forest you're in right now. Yuno asks if Tatsuya isa Traveler, since he acts so weird. Yuno says that Travelers aren't verycommon, and that she thought they were big, with hairy chests, and not kids,like the small-sizes Tatsuya.

Yuno laughs, and asks if Tatsuya wants to come with her to the inn her familyruns in the town of Lanka. Even if you hate catgirls, you can't refuse tofollow Yuno, so just play along for now. The game system now explains aboutBravura skills and BP, which is an abbreviation for Brave Power. Bravura

skills, like Yuno's Healing Melody, all cost BP to use, just like magic attackscost MP to use in games like Final Fantasy. You can save up BP by attackingenemies. Dealing heavy damage, or damage in combos, earns you most BP.Unfortunately for Tatsuya, he can't use any Bravura skills until he finds agemstone. Yahuuh ~

Once you're back in control again, backtrack to the Healing Point to restoreall of the HP you lost, if you did lose HP, during the battle a moment ago.From now on, you will encounter enemies by walking around in areas like woodsand dungeons. Most battles are random encounters, and you don't actually seethe enemies before you're in battle. Make sure to fight a lot, as enemies oftendrop items, and each time you win a battle, you earn experience points. Onceyou have enough experience, you will level up, and get stronger!

Head northwest from the Healing Point to find two chests containing[Glistenstone] and a [Jerky]. After getting those two items, head southwest tofind a path that has been blocked by a fallen tree. You can't use that pathnow, so run southeast from the fallen tree instead. You'll find an exit in thesoutheastern corner, but before heading in there, go north from the exit tofind a [Sniper's Bow]. This bow is stronger than the one Yuno already has, soequip it on her. Once Yuno has got her hands on the new bow, exit in thesoutheastern corner.

Welcome to the southern part of the forest. There are several paths that have


12/144

been blocked by fallen trees here, but if you head northeast from the entranceyou came from, you will find a small path that isn't blocked. The path leads toa Healing Point and a Save Point. After saving and healing, continue right toreach the world map. This time, you're far north from the Wayfinder's Hut.Just take a look at the Map of Vision to see for yourself. First things first,head directly west until you reach the river. There's a shack there. Access thearea with the shack.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Grandera River Crossing - Getting a Couple of Items

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

o---------------------------------------------------------------------------o| || I T E M C H E C K L I S T || || Glistenstone.................[ ] Sorcery Diagram 1............[ ] || Fruit of Vitality............[ ] || |o---------------------------------------------------------------------------o

The ferryman here can't take you over to the other side of the river right nowhe says, but that's fine. Examine the jars that are placed around the shackclose to the ferryman. They contain [Glistenstone], [Fruit of Vitality], sometems, and [Sorcery Diagram 1]. There isn't anything else to do here right now,so make your way over to Lanka Town, which is located just south of the forest.On a sidenote, if you're worrying about the fact that the Sorcery Diagramdoesn't appear in any of the item menus yet, let me calm you by explainingthat you do have it, there is just not any way to use diagrams before you getthe Accessory Book later in the game. And, missing that book is impossible.

o---------------------------------------------------------------------------o| || I T E M C H E C K L I S T || || Gimblewolf Meat..............[ ] Glistenstone.................[ ] || Bravery Diagram 1............[ ] Mako Berry...................[ ] || |o---------------------------------------------------------------------------o

Yuno is eager to show you her home - the inn located close to the townentrance - but first, let's find some items. There is [Gimblewolf Meat] in thejar stationed behind the inn building's leftmost wall, and another of those

[Bravery Diagram 1] papers in a jar in the eastern part of town. From there,make your way to the northeastern corner, where there are two barrels close toeach other. They contain [Glistenstone] and a [Mako Berry]. That's all there isto collect in town for now, so go back to the entrance and head inside the innfor a quick chat with Yuno's parents. Her mother is a catgirl - sorry if thatterm offends someone - and her dad is a normal human male.

They're both very happy that Tatsuya saved their daughter, and tell Yuno toshow Tatsuya around town. Go outside of the inn and head directly right to findthe local Branch, which is the building with the Firewyrm emblem. The Branchworks as the office, or headquarters for a group of people called Highlanders.


13/144

Highlanders to a lot of tasks, one of which is keeping towns safe frommonsters. The leader of Lanka's branch, who is named Fraus, explains thatHighlanders are peacekeepers that are willing to do anything to keep the townsscattered throughout the land safe for the citizens living there.

Fraus also says that the Highlanders have already taken care of all the fallentrees that were blocking the paths in the forest, and that Yuno can go backthere later. You can leave the Branch now, as there isn't more to do here right

now. Your next destination is the Armory in the western part of town. There's aSword and a Shield on the armory's emblem. Yuno explains that you can buyweapons and other equipment in armories, but Tatsuya doesn't have enough moneyfor something like that yet. Try heading back towards the inn to find someonenamed Maree standing outside laughing her face off. Or, was it crying?

Anyhow, Maree is all over it because she lost an accessory somewhere in LankaForest. Yuno offers to find the lost accessory, so head north out of town,towards Lanka Forest.

Upon entering the southern part of the forest again, you'll notice that thefallen trees that blocked the paths earlier are now gone. So, make your way tothe southeastern end of this part of the forest to find a chest containing a

[Fire Shard], then head all the way left, into the passage that leads to thenorthern part of the forest.

Finding the accessory that Maree from the town lost in the forest is very easy.The only thing you need to do is to run directly left from this part of theforest's entrance. You'll find the ring on the ground, on a path that wasblocked earlier. [Maree's Lost Ring] is the accessory's name. From where youfound the ring, head southwest to find a tiny path leading east. Follow thispath to find a chest containing a [Sleeping Bag]. Sleeping bags are used forhealing all party members when walking on the world map. Northwest of where yougot the ring, there is a chest containing 30 tems. With the ring in yourinventory, let your feet bring you back to town again.

The owner of the ring, Maree, is waiting for you outside of the inn. She's sohappy to get her ring back that she gives Tatsuya the [Accessory Book]. Theaccessory book is great, since it's able to hold diagram items you find

throughout the game. Using diagrams, you can produce your own accessories. Atthe same time, you also get the [Craft Kit], which is also needed for producingaccessories. There doesn't seem to be any end to how many items you're going toget from poor Maree, as she also hands you the [Life Diagram 1] and says thatyou should go see her boyfriend in the general store.

Listen to her words, and go to the general store just northwest of Maree'slocation. Before you head over to the store, access the pause menu bypressing the Triangle button on your PSP. From there, choose the 'other'option. You'll see that a new option named 'Books' has been added. Using thisoption, you can keep track of what kind of accessories you are able tomake, and what materials you need to spend in order to produce the accessories.

Well then, go to the general store to see her boyfriend then. His name isYokug, and he knows a lot about accessory crafting. He says that it is alsopossible to dismantle accessories in order to end up with the materials theaccessory was originally made from. So, if you find out that you've made anaccessory with a material you want back, you can just dismantle the accessory,he says. Most materials are earned by killing monsters, by the way. To getthings started, Yokug gives you a [Green Snayleshell] and two [Fire Shards].Just like the 'Books' option, 'Crafts' has now been added to the pause menu.This is the option you have to access in order to produce and dismantle stuff!

o---------------------------o If you want to, you can try and craft an| | accessory using materials you've got from the| LANKA GENERAL STORE | battles you've won against the monsters in

| | the forest. Remember that you can only make| Mako Berry...........10 | accessories you have found the diagrams for.| Jerky................20 | For example, you can try and use the Life| Fire Stone...........20 | Diagram 1, which we got from Maree earlier.| Water Stone..........20 || Enzyme..............100 | The result you get by using this diagram is a| Sleeping Bag........100 | [Life Ring]. Note that you don't only need| Camping Set.........100 | the diagram in order to produce accessories;| | you also need the required materials listedo---------------------------o on the diagram. Good luck! Once you're done

experimenting with Accessory Crafting, justignore the General Shop clerk. He doesn't really have anything interestingfor sale. At the same time, the amount of money you've been able to save up

this far isn't exactly overwhelming either. We are however going to spend thesmall amount we have in the armory, which is located just right of the generalstore where Maree's girlfriend preached about Accessory Crafting. Go there now.

Since you'll want to have some strong o----------------------------oequipment for your characters, sell some of | |your Glistenstones at the armory. You should | LANKA ARMORY |have several of them, since they often drop | |from common monsters you've been fighting in | Sniper's Bow..........140 |the forest. With the money you earned on | Hard Leather Guards...150 |selling stones, buy [Hard Leather Guards] for | Hide Bracer...........140 |

Tatsuya, and shop the [Hide Bracer] for Yuno. | |The bow sold in the armory, you already have o----------------------------oif you've followed this walkthrough from start.Remember to equip the armor you just bought, then run back to Yuno's home - thelocal inn near the town entrance. Dinner's ready, you know. Make sure you enjoythe cute and embarrassing dinner scene. During this scene, Yono's old mansuggests for Tatsuya to go to Lyris, another town. Yuno wants to follow on thejourney, but her mother doesn't agree. Happily daddy allows his daughter to go.

After dinner, you'll be asked to save your progress, so make sure you do justthat, ok? The next morning, Yuno's daddy gives you a [Good Luck Charm], andtells the two youngsters to cross the Grandera River and head west towardsLyris. Now it's time to leave. At the town gates, Tatsuya tells Yuno that she'ssimilar to his friend Miki back in his own world, because they're both kindabossy, or kinda cute. As always, it's your choice what to answer. Either way,the game continues after you've chosen your answer. Out on the world map again,go directly west from town until you reach the river. Once you've done that,head south to find a shack near the water. This shack is where Grandera RiverCrossing holds its business. There's no point in waiting - go there now.

If you didn't go here earlier to collect items, make sure to examine the jarsaround the shack before talking to the ferryman. The ferryman wants 10 tems forcarrying you over the river. Agree with him. A reasonable price. Aftercrossing, the ferryman gives you a [Net] & [Birdcage]. The ferryman says thatwith these tools, Yuno and Tatsuya can start the craze which is Birdcatching.He doesn't want to explain exactly what this is, but then, his friend Ben comesaround. Ben is a member of the organization SNOB (Social Network of Birdlovers)and wants to show the two kids how they can catch birds. The basics are:

X Button - Swing your netO Button - Scatter birdfeedSquare Button - Quit

The goal is to try and catch lots of birds before the time limit runs out. Whenyou feed birds, or Goalfinch, as they're named, they will grow in size.However, if you feed them too much, they'll get too big for your net tocontain, so don't give them too much. Once the session is over, the birdsyou've caught will fuse together into one bird. The sizes and colors of thebirds determine the fused bird's abilities. Now, walk around close to Ben toinitiate a Birdcatching session. Throw birdfeed and catch birds until the time


16/144

limit is out. Speak with Ben again. Now, he says that if you have a bird inyour inventory (pause menu -> other -> birdcage) other members of SNOB willgladly trade items and weapons for your bird, depending on what type it is.

That's all for now - Ben takes you back to the River Crossing Shack. Theferryman is still waiting, and this time he says that he wants the two of youto try something called Birdbrawling, and sends you back to the woods to meetup with someone named Kee Tarma. In a Birdbrawl, two parties let their birds

fight against each other. Just like in real battles, the one that doesn't haveany HP left is the one that loses. Secondly, if the time runs out, thechallenger is the loser - always. After the tutorial battle, Tarma gives you a[Goalfinch Feather] and says that you can get many feathers by defeating otherSNOBs in Birdbrawl battles. With enough feathers, something good will happen.Back at the River Crossing Shack, the ferryman has another gift for you, the[Monster Album] which keeps track of all the monsters you have fought, and whatspoils they drop. Very useful when farming material.

Now that the ferryman has stopped talking, examine the jars around you to find[Mako Berry], [Recovery Diagram 1], [Fruit of Bravery] & [Sleeping Bag]. Nowyou're ready to leave the River Crossing, so head left out to the world map.Go directly north along the river to find the Town of Sakawa.

At the town entrance, some kinda wagon almost runs Tatsuya over. Yuno gets allworked up, and wants to check out what kind of fish they're serving in thisplace. Nevermind her - catgirls can be crazy, I think. Just like we did inLanka, we'll go item hunting in town before doing anything else. Directlysouthwest of the town entrance, a person named Wastus is standing. Left of himthere is a jar containing [Speed Diagram 1]. Directly southwest of this jar,you will find a sea and a wooden platform. On the platform, open the jar to getanother tasty [Jerky]. Make your way to the absolute southeastern corner oftown for another jar and a [Glistenstone]. East of this jar, there is a beachwith a Darbaba animal and a [Fruit of Strength] hidden in a jar. Good work!

o---------------------------o After collecting all the items as described

| | above, go to the inn in the northwestern part of| Sakawa GENERAL STORE | town. Yuno asks the owner for some fish.

The local citizens are all worked up because a Highlander is about to make anannouncement about something. Listen to the announcement. Someone named Meladeeis the one speaking. She says that she has traveled to Lyris in order torecruit new Highlanders! Cool! This is Tatsuya & Yuno's chance! There is oneproblem though; only teams of three persons can apply for the position! Yuno

has already decided that another person has to join the party, but right now,she doesn't know who that's going to be. While being in deep thoughts, Yunoruns into someone named Utetta. Utetta says that one of the kids from Sakawa -the town you visited a moment ago - has gone missing! Utetta is here to ask theHighlanders for help in finding the kid. Typically, the one missing is Minos,the poor waterkin boy you saw at the inn in Sakawa. He's escaped from his dad.Can you see the Darbaba Building in the western end of town? Go in there tofind a jar with a [Gleamstone] inside.

Before rushing back to Sakawa, go into the o------------------------------oBranch on your left. There's a jar in there | |containing a [Camping Set]. There's another | LYRIS UPTOWN GENERAL STORE |jar in the Armory north of the Branch. That | |

one will provide you with a [Immunity Diagram | Jerky...................20 |1]. As for the Armory's weapon selection, | Tenderloin..............80 |it's the same as in the two previous towns. | Antivenom...............50 |Anyway, we aren't here for shopping.

Lyris - Uptown, if you like fancy names :)

o------------------------------o Uptown is much brighter than the poor| | downtown you saw when you entered. In the| LYRIS UPTOWN ARMORY | southwestern end of uptown, there is a| | General Store with a jar in. The jar contains| Sniper's Bow...........140 | a [Gleamstone]. Go back out of the General| Bone Axe...............320 | Store and enter the armory in the same

| Bronze Guards..........300 | building. Happily, this armory has some new| Bronze Bracer..........270 | stuff. I recommend selling your Glistenstones| Iron Spaulders.........280 | to get some money, then buy the [Bronze| | Guards] & [Bronze Bracer]. Remember to equipo------------------------------o them after shopping. Before leaving the

Armory, pick up [Immunity Diagram 3] anda [Solvent] from the jars in the corners of the room. Yay for free items.

Since you're done shopping for now, go northeast from the Armory to find atavern with two entrances. Head inside one of the entrances to get inside thetavern. In the lower right corner you will find a jar containing another hot[Fire Stone], and in the upper right corner there is a [Heartglue] potion. Thelast thing to do before leaving the city is to enter the Uptown inn just left

of the tavern. There's a jar with a [Jerky] in there, and of course, the ownerlets you save your game for free, if you feel like. Now, leave Lyris City andhead north, back to Sakawa Town. Godspeed, brave Traveler!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Town of Sakawa - Finding Out About Minos

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Time to investigate and find out where that Waterkin boy Minos went off to.Most townspeople don't know much, but Reskee, the little fellow in thesouthwestern end of town, near the wooden platform, has overheard Minos talkingabout going to a cave in order to find medicine for the sick elder of SakawaVillage. Sounds like Minos cares for other people a lot. So, head into the

elder's house in the western end of the village. A creature named Kee Keema iswalking around there. He says that Minos's footprints have been spotted nearthe Seaside Cave west of town. Keema and his gang tried to follow, but wasstopped by some kind of huge, scary monster! Kee Keema says that he's willingto show the two kids the way to the cave, and joins your party as a guest.

Kee Keema has his own equipment by the way, so don't worry about that. Run tothe world map again now. One there, head southwest from Sakawa to find theSeaside Cave that Minos went to before vanishing. Head inside if you dare.What? Of course you have to dare, silly.

The enemies in this cave look pretty nasty, but fighting them is easy, justremember to heal between the battles. Run left along the cave path. You'lleventually reach a pretty big open place with a chest in the middle. Open it tofind 105 tems. Nice! Money makes the world go around you know. Run southeastfrom the chest to find a long path leading south, then west. Go west at thefirst fork to find [Strength Diagram 1], then head north to find a save pointand heal point close to each other. Save and heal, then continue west from the

save point to reach the next, deeper part of the cave. Getting scary here, eh?

To your big surprise, a huge crab is waiting in this room, and he's got Minosand his dad Sogreth trapped. Watch the scene, then prepare for battle. Sogrethtakes Yuno's place in this battle, but I won't tell you why. Look yourself.

Kinda. || || |'----------------------------------------------------------------------------'

Kee Keema leaves after the battle, as he needs to do some package deliveries.Minos is happy to have been saved from the crab, and gives Tatsuya the first

gemstone. Now, Tatsuya is able to start using Bravura skills, and learns theone named Lightspark right away. Head right from the boss room now, to find thepath you used earlier flooded with water. However, a new path leading northfrom the save point has now been unlocked, so walk on that one to find achest with [Bronze Guards], then continue east from the chest until Minos sayshe's found another dead end filled with water. Tatsuya uses the gemstone tobreak the stone wall here. Run through the hole in the wall to find a star-shaped pattern on the ground. Out of the pattern, Wayfinder Lau's voice ischanneled in a entirely magic kind of way.

Lau says that when a Traveler finds a gem, he can return to his own world once.When the Traveler hears the sound of bells though, he has to come back to theworld of Vision. If he doesn't return then, the Traveler will never see Vision,

or his own world again. Tatsuya steps into the pattern, and off he goes, backto his own world - to the hospital where Miki is sleeping. After a second withwatching over Miki, he goes back to the world of Vision. Quick trip for sure.Notice how you've now got the [Mirror of Truth] which is used to travel betweenthe two worlds? Pretty handy, but can't be used manually.

After joining up with Yuno and the others, head south from the star pattern toarrive on the world map again. Run over to Sakawa, which is Minos's home. Thenext day, the village elder thanks everyone for their efforts. He's especiallyhappy with Minos, since he found some tidewort medicine in the Seaside Cave.At the end of the conversation with the elder, Sogreth says he's decided to

Afterwards, run over to the Branch in | Bone Axe............[ ] |downtown. Since you now have three party | Iron Spaulders......[ ] |members, you're allowed to take the Highlander | |exam. The first task is to collect three Giranha o--------------------------oSpleens from Seaside Cave. But, Giranhas willonly drop their spleens when they're really angry. When they're really angry,monsters get the 'Crazed' status and turn bigger and stronger than they usually

are. The conditions that have to be met in order to turn monsters crazed varya lot. Head over to Seaside Cave again, and I'll tell you about how to turn theGiranha monsters crazed. I bet you're so excited that you can't wait. Perhaps.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Seaside Cave - Highlander Exam Part 1

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

o--------------------------o The most common enemy in the cave is the| ITEM CHECKLIST | Giranha, so just walk around until you find some| | of them.

o--------------------------o when the Giranha aren't crazed. To make ithappen, kill off a Giranha while another one is

watching. They often go crazed after seeing one of their mates bite the dust inbattle against their enemy, which is you and your party. Poor things. Anyway,keep on making the Giranhas crazed until you have 3 [Giranha Spleens], thensprint back to the Branch in Downtown Lyris.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A second before you're about to get part two of the exam, father Diamon fromthe church comes into the branch, asking the Highlanders there to deal with a

monster spotted northwest of Lyris, at Triankha Hospital. Too bad, no secondexam part for Tatsuya and his party. Sogreth figures that following theHighlanders, or rather, tailing them to Triankha Hospital isn't a bad idea, sothat's where you'll be going next. Well then, back to the world map you go.If you check your world map, the hospital has appeared as a red icon a littlewest of Seaside Cave. Head over there.

further left. There's lots of small doors onboth sides here. Well, there's four of them. There's only two items though. Toavoid walking into the two rooms without items, refer to this simple map:

,'Nothing Nothing

After getting the two items, continue left through the main corridor again. Atthe end, you'll find two stairs. The ones leading upwards have been blocked byvines, so head downwards instead, since those stairs aren't blocked.

Back in thecorridor again, continue right to find two other doors. The one leading southdoes not contain anything, but the one leading north has a [Fruit of Agility]inside. Head back to the corridor again now. You'll see that the corridoritself splits into two paths. One leading north and one leading east.

First, follow along the eastern path first to find two small doors. Ignore theone leading south, and head into the northern door to find a chest with a[Tenderloin] inside. North of the chest there is a door that leads to the partof the corridor you would have reached if you went along the north fork insteadof going east as you did. So, head north from the chest, then go oneroom further north for a cut-scene.

An old woman and a masked man are talking about taking and giving orders inhere. Tatsuya & friends overhear their conversation. The masked man tried tokill the woman with a flame skill, but hits your party instead, by mistake. The

masked man sees the gem in the sword that Tatsuya is carrying, and stopsthinking about finishing them off for some reason. He says that the monsterthat the Branch were called here to fight is dwelling just ahead. Thanks forthe tip, scary man. After the masked dude has left, sprint left and enter thesmall door leading south to find a Healing Point and a Save Point. Close tothem, there's a door leading north and one leading south. Head intothe northern one to find a [Sharpened Horn], then go into the southern one.

The monster you've been looking for is waiting in here. The people from theBranch in Lyris are lying on the floor, fainted after fighting against themonster. This is your chance to prove yourself! To battle!

Master Kyte from the Branch is still alive, but his mates are dead. Kyte saysthat since Tatsuya and the others killed the monster, they're allowed to becomeHighlanders. You'll receive some [Firewyrm Rings] from Kyte, then he dies. Theparty now travels back to Lyris to tell the other Highlanders about what

Once you'vereached the border, make sure you save and heal using the two spheres near theentrance. If you talk to the people here, you'll get to hear about two banditswho have been causing problems for people crossing the border. The border guard


23/144

lets you through the gate after Yuno has flashed the Firewyrm Rings that provethat you're Novice Highlanders. To everyone's big surprise, some guards arewaiting on the other side of the gate. The guards seize Tatsuya & friends.Turns out some bandits have been tricking people, telling them they wereHighlanders and showing them Firewyrm Rings. No one is safe in this world!

After some verbal fighting, Kee Keema comes driving in a wagon. He recognizesTatsuya's party from earlier, and introduces you to Wataru & Meena. Wataru is

another Traveler like Tatsuya, and Meena is a catgirl. After some talking, thechief of the guards, Leynart, seems to be a reasonable man, and doesn't thinkthat Sogreth and Yuno are the real culprits. However, until he has clearedtheir names, he'll have to keep you here, he says. Too bad, sir! Since Yuno andSogreth are the only suspects, Tatsuya is allowed to leave the place if hewants to. The plan Tatsuya comes up with it following Wataru and Meena, andtrying to catch the real bandits in order to clear his friends' name.Wataru and Meena now join your party as guests, while Sogreth and Yuno staybehind at the Bog-Sasayan Border. Aw, that has to be boring for them.

Before leaving the border, head back to the main gate. You'll see three jars onthe ground. They contain [Lightning Stone], [Tenderloin] & [Fruit of Bravery].Run straight left from the three jars to find another one. This jar contains

the [Bravery Diagram 2]. After getting all the items, head back north to theworld map. On the world map, head straight east from the border for a cut-scene. During the scene you'll see the real bandits - a catkin girl and awaterkin robbing a merchant before continuing east. If you check your map,you'll see that a bandit hideout has appeared on the map, southeast of yourcurrent location. That's your destination, so run over there.

o----------------------------o The enemies here are humans, and should not be| ITEM CHECKLIST | underestimated. Since Yuno is not in your

Head north at the first fork,| Defense Diagram 1.....[ ] | and keep going north until you find a chest| | containing a [Fortune Diagram 1]. On your wayo----------------------------o back south to where you came from, go east when

you reach a small fork just before the mainpath. The chest you'll run into has a [Defense Diagram 1] inside. Back at thebeginning of the area, follow the path northwest this time, instead of goingnorth. The path splits into many smaller parts just ahead, but there's notreasure to get by walking to the end of any of 'em, so just keep on followingthe main path northwest in order to reach the next area.

When the path once again splits, take your party east, as you can't get thechest that's at the end of the northern part yet. You'll find four piles of

leaf in a big square-formed area. There's two items and two holes. In the lowerright pile there is a [Antiventom], and in the upper left pile there is a[Tenderloin]. The two other ones are only hiding nasty holes.

Sprint east from the four leaf piles. When you reach a fork, go east foranother chest and a single pile of leaf. The leaves are hiding a cozy[Sleeping Bag], while the chest contains a whooping 933 tems. Walk back to thelast fork and head north this time around. You'll run into a Save Point and aHealing Point, as well as a passage leading east. Save, heal, and go east tofind the two bandits. They're named Dusty and Mari.

When you thought everything was fine after defeating the bandits, anothercouple of thieves appear. Just like Dusty & Mari, they're a kitkin girl and awaterkin male. You'll have to fight them. The battle is identic to the one youjust got through, so you shouldn't have too many problems in beating them.

South of the border there is a location on your map named Vahadina. Run overthere to find out that it's a desert outpost, similar to a small town. First,head over to the northeastern part of town to meet Mamanmu, the Chairman ofSNOB. He transforms Tatsuya's old bird net into a [Beefed-up Net]. Speak withhim again to receive the [Bird Diagram 1]. The old man explains that more birddiagrams can be earned by defeating other SNOBs in birdbrawls.

Lets start collecting items from the various jars scattered around the outpost.There's some [Wakewater] just right of the outpost entrance, a [Smokescreen]close to Mamanmu, the old SNOB, and a [Camping Set] in the northeastern end oftown, close to a woman named Sasha. The next jar is located just left of Sasha,outside the Darbaba Post building. It contains the useful [Speed Diagram 2].There's still a jar left in the west end of town, outside the Armory,containing a [Immunity Diagram 7]. Now it's time to see what's going on in theoutpost's branch, right of the entrance.

o------------------------------o The only person left in the branch is a man| | named Solbe. He isn't a Highlander, but knows| VAHADINA ARMORY | where the Highlanders of the outpost are| | right now: they've gone missing after heading

| Greatbow...............900 | into the nearby desert ruins. He suggests| Bardiche..............1050 | seeing Cecilia, a girl at the Darbaba Post| Iron Guards...........1000 | building in the northeastern part of town. Do| Iron Bracer............900 | that. Cecilia is planning to go after the| Solid Spaulders........950 | Higlanders, but Tatsuya & friends offer to do| | it in her place, since they're so trustworthyo------------------------------o and all. Cecilia says that it's ok, and tells

Tatsuya to talk to her once he's ready to go.Before that, we need some weapons, so head to the armory on your left side. Allof the party members we have with us right now need new weapons, and armor too.

You'll want to buy one of each item the o------------------------------oarmory is selling. In all, that makes one of | |

each following item: [Greatbow] & [Iron | VAHADINA GENERAL STORE |Bracer] for Yuno, [Bardiche] & [Solid | |Spaulders] for Sogreth and finally some [Iron | Jerky...................20 |Guards] for Tatsuya. You might also want to | Tenderloin..............80 |drop by the general store for some potions | Antivenom...............50 |and food items, but those are up to you. I | Antiplegic..............50 |won't force you to buy any of them. Once you | Swig of Sanity..........50 |feel like you're done shopping, and ready to | Recall Juice...........100 |go after the missing Highlanders, go and talk | Heartglue..............100 |to Cecilia again. She's waiting for you just | Solvent................200 |northeast of the armory. Now you'll get to | Smokescreen............300 |control a Darba wagon out on the world map. | Sleeping Bag...........100 |

| Camping Set............100 |

Drive straight east from the outpost for a | |cut-scene. Yuno's good luck charm has, for o------------------------------osome reason, started flashing. Sogreth thinksthis means there's a gemstone nearby. Suddenly, Sogreth gets to see somethinglying on the ground, glowing. It's not a gemstone, but a firewyrm band, thesign that Highlanders carry with them. The band turns out to be Cecilia'ssister's band, [Meladee's Band]. Before anyone realizes what's happening, yourparty gets sucked into a pool of quicksand. You end up below the ground, insome kind of ancient ruins. Really scary, but very interesting.

There's only one path to follow at the beginning, so keep going until you findMeladee, trapped by some monsters. There's only three of them, so kick theirbutts right away, and save Meladee. She joins your party. Since you now havefour party members, you can use the Formation option in the pause menu todecide your battle lineup. Only three people may fight at the same time.Continue running through the corridor until the path splits into one path

leading north, and one on your right. Take the right one first to find a chestcontaining [Immunity Diagram 9], then take the one leading north. Smart as Yunois, she manages to press a button that makes Tatsuya fall down into a trap.

Down here, separated from the others, Tatsuya meets Mitsuru, another Traveler.The two of them decide to work together on getting out of here. Once incontrol, you'll notice that there's a vendor down here as well. He's sellingboth weapons and general items, so buy some healing items from him if you'relow on those. Why? Because neither Tatsuya or Mitsuru have healing spells.The vendor is also selling [Bloom of Tassets], a piece of armor that Meladeecan use. If you plan of fighting using her, buy this armor piece, okay?

After buying your stuff and things, head east from the vendor to find a square-

formed room with a chest. It contains a [Heartglue] item. Now go south from thevendor to find a place where you can heal and save. Make your way south into aroom with three stone pillars. Exit this room south to find another pillarroom. In the lower left corner of that room there is a [Life Diagram 2]. Goback to the room with three pillars, and exit that room east this time. Keep onfollowing the only that from here north, until you find a chest with an[Aquamite] inside. Run west from this chest, and head north at the first fork.You'll find a chest containing a [Tenderloin] close to a set of stairs. Takethe item, then go downstairs. At the bottom, there are two chests. Onecontaining [Antivenom], and one with some [Wakewater]. Make sure you heal usingthe Healing Point down here before running up the stairs again.

Back upstairs, head west at the fork you went north to get to the stairs at

earlier. By heading west you will find a room with some kind of device where acode has to be entered. The code is 'AGARA BELA NEM'. After entering the code,a set of stairs appear in front of you. Run to the top, brave youths. Mitsuruleaves the party once you've gotten to the top of the stairs, and Tatsuya meetsSogreth and the others again. Hooray for reuniting with old friends.

Use the save and healing points near the top of the stairs you just ran to thetop of, then run east from there. You'll see a corridor with dirty wallsleading east, and one normal corridor leading south. Take the south path firstfor some [Bugswatters], a weapon Meladee can use. Now backtrack a little andhead east on the path with the dirty walls.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Emmet Colony

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In this first area of the Emmet Colony, there is o---------------------------oa path leading directly south from the entrance. | |Walk on this path to find a room with a [Fruit | ITEM CHECKLIST |

of Bravery]. Run back to the first area of the | |colony, but this time, make your way to the | Fruit of Braver......[ ] |absolute southeastern corner of the area to find | Strength Diagram 2...[ ] |a chest containing 894 tems. After getting the | Force Caustic........[ ] |money, go to the middle southern part of the | Tenderloin...........[ ] |area. There's two passages leading south here. | Dash Tonic...........[ ] |First head into the leftmost one of the two | Cryptic Pelt.........[ ] |passages to find a healing point, then go into | Emmet Spellrock......[ ] |the rightmost of the two passages. In this room, | Firewyrm Band........[ ] |go to the absolute southwestern end for the | |diagram [Strength Diagram 2], then, save and o---------------------------oheal in the middle of the area before exiting inthe southern end. There's no more treasures for you at this point.

The next room, which is the nest, is where you'll meet the rest of theHighlanders from Vahadina. In addition, you'll meet a nasty monster boss!Before fighting the monster, talk to the three Highlanders to get a[Force Caustic], [Tenderloin] and [Dash Tonic]. Happy, happy, happy.

| Let Yuno take care of ALL the healing, while Tatsuya and Meladee || deal damage to the boss. It helps a lot to have Meladee's Bugswatters || weapon in this battle. You found it in the ruins. || || At the very beginning of the battle, use the Unity Skill 'Highlander || Spirit' in order to raise Meladee and Tatsuya's attack power. The || boss has a move that will raise its attack power as well, so expect || it to deal quite a bit of damage when it attacks you. Once again, || make sure that Yuno heals Tatsuya and Meladee whenever it's needed. || |'----------------------------------------------------------------------------'

The third gemstone is hidden within the emmet's body, and Tatsuya finds it.

Now, Tatsuya learns to use a handful of magic spells: Heal, Return and Exit.

Since he's now got a new gemstone, Tatsuya goes back to Miki's hospital. There,he meets the Traveler Rei. Seems like Rei is the masked man you saw at thehospital back in the world of Vision. Unfortunately for Tatsuya, he has to goback to Vision right away. No time to chat with Rei. Back in Vision, Meladeesays she wants to follow Tatsuya on his adventures, and awards the whole partywith ranks as true Highlanders, not just Novice Highlanders. So yup, one[Firewyrm Band] to each party member. True Highlanders can go and report to allHighlander Branches and receive bounties, according to the number of monstersthey've slain. That's a good deal, so check it out later on.

Also note that from now on, whenever you travel on the world map, you'll bedriving the wagon instead of walking around on foot. This makes it much easierand quicker to travel from town to town. In addition Tatsuya has also learneda healing spell, and a skill that lets you exit any dungeon, by choosing 'Exit'from Tatsuya's Bravura Skill menu.

Revisiting Desert Ruins - 1F (optional)-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Desert Ruins have now appeared on the world map, in the middle of thedesert. By entering the ruins from the map, you will arrive at Floor 1, or 1F,as described in the game itself. On Floor 1, you will find some stairs leadingdown to the floor with the secret trap switch, and a path leading southwest.Ignore the stairs and follow this path instead. First, ignore all the forks,and go southwest until you reach a dead end with a chest. Inside you will finda [Fruit of Vitality]. After getting the fruit, kill the chest, since it lives.

Run east at the fork close from the chest to find a locked door with theinscription 'Take The Sand Out of Your Clogs' on. Next, run over to the western

part of the area for another locked door saying 'To Enter the Forest, Ease Overthe Seas'. Sprint to the southwestern corner now, where you'll find a lockeddoor with the inscription 'Clear Away Every Cloud' on. Move directly east fromthis door, and go north at the first fork to find a chest containing a[Silvervold] stone. At the fork again, go southeast this time, and when youfind the passage in the southeastern end leading to a new area, ignore it andhead directly north for a chest with 645 tems in. Right now, you can't doanything more in here, but after examining the door that said to take the sandout of your clogs, you can start the 'Riddle From The Past' sidequest. Makesure you examine the other doors as well as there are sidequests for those too.

Refer to the sidequests section if you want to do this. If you don't want tospend time on it right now, just continue on with the main walkthrough in the

paragraph below this one. Whatever suits you best is fine.

===============================================================================Vision Cataclysm [Peps008]

===============================================================================

East of the Emmet Colony, there is a town named Gasara. Just take a look at theworld map, and you'll see it at once. Drive through the desert, towards Gasara.At the end of the desert, the scenery changes; suddenly you're in a forest,instead of the sandy desert from a moment ago. This place is named ForestaMorgana. The spellrocks that the bosses in the game drop are used to getthrough a set of stones that are blocking the paths in the forest. There's manychests in here, but getting them all isn't possible right now, since you don't

have all the claw spellrocks. Refer to the section I've dedicated to ForestaMorgana in this walkthrough if you want to get some items right now, then,afterwards, exit the woods and head all the way east through the desert again.

This time, you won't end up in Foresta Morgana by going straight towards thetown of Gasara, so don't worry. If you're wondering about how to get back toForesta Morgana later on, I can te
