Tips for the Chapters
Chapter 1 - The Royal Soldiers You are the captain of the guards, Ragnar. Lately a few children have disappeared from Izmit not far away from Burland where you live. You soon find out that they are actually being abducted and you are accompinied by a Healer named Healie. Make sure you get the Sword Of Malice in the Loch Tower.
Chapter 2 - Alena's Adventure Help a princess become a warrior in this adventure. Much longer than Chapter 1. You will travel and save Tempe, a small village that is cursed. Also you will find the Golden Braclet that some thieves want for ransom for a lady's life. Then save your father by climbing the BirdSong Tower and getting the nectar. Finally, make it to Endor where you defeat 5 opponents.
Chapter 3 - Taloon The Arms Merchant Taloon dreams of owning his own shop. Help him treasure hunt and make money to make this dream come true. Also help him build a tunnel to Branca in the end. Don't take any treasures from The Cave Of The Silver Statuette, save them for the Hero in Chapter 5. While an easy chapter it's pretty fun to own your own shop.
Chapter 4 - The Sisters of Monarbarba The evil Balzack killed Nara and Mara's father, Edgar. He was searching for a secret to turn iron to gold but accidently stumbled onto the Secret Of Evolution. Unfortunately, Balzack murdered his mentor and took the secret. This becomes important later in the game. Years later the Sisters seek revenge.
Chapter 5 - The Hero's Adventure At the beginning of the game you named someone. That is the hero. Watch his village get destroyed. Then start his quest. The longest and hardest chapter is full of adventure and suprises. Including some very difficult bosses... Like Balzack and Keelon returning from Chapter 4 with souped up powers. Finally destroy the evil Necrosaro and find the Hero's dreams come true.
Boss Tips
Saro's Shadow - Very easy to beat.. Take care of the eye first though, and watch Healie if his HP and MP get low.
Balzack 1st Form - Use the Sphere of Silence then simply attack fiercly and watch your HP.
Keeleon 1st Form - You can't beat him but go ahead and try.
Keeleon 2nd Form - Get your levels in the 20's and attack fiercly. Use HealAll on companions that need it.
Balzack 2nd Form - Raise your levels in the high 20's or in the 30's and you should't have much trouble from him.
Esturk - Attack as fiercly as you can before he wakes up and chant HEALUSALL.
Necrosaro - Get your levels in the high 30's before taking Necrosaro on. Attack without healing until he grows a head in his stomach. Recommened party here is Hero, Alena, Ragnar and Nara. Nara should chant Blazemost but make sure to watch out if Necrosaro chants bounce. Use the Zenithian Sword to get rid of his shield. Now use the Dew of the World Tree and Healusall when needed. With a little luck and skill you will defeat Necrosaro. It took me 6 times but I finally beat him.
These are just some of the bosses.
Useful Tips
To get the 2 UC's that I keep getting asked about.... You must be at Taloon's Chapter 3, they are both located in Endor. Strom is the soldier on the Western edge of the town. Laurent is in the INN, upstairs I believe.
Thanks to jdesjard@ilos.net for this great tip on how to find the fire claw! (1) Go to Gardenbur. (2) Enter the main part of the castle. (3) Go up the stairs to get to the queen. (4) Go back down the stairs. (Stay on the stairs) (5) Push up and you will get to a hall with stairs at the end. (6) Go down the stairs and there it is!
