This classic RPG title from the Super Nintendo has been successfully portedto the Gameboy Advance. There are new features, including a Dash command soyou can move around quicker in the game. You are Ryu, and you along with 7other comrades you'll meet along the way, must recover the 6 Goddess Keysscattered throughout the world. You need those keys in order to stop the evil

Dark Dragons from destroying the world. If you have a GBA, I'd recommend youobtain this game; it's really awesome!

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= 3. Story -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

For thousands of years, the Dragon Tribe reigned peacefully, governing theworld through its mighty power and decency. Despite its integrity, the tribefell victim to the power of the evil goddess Milia. The internal strife splitthe tribe into two factions and war erupted between them. The violent clash

nearly destroyed the world. Already lasting for centuries, it seemed theconflict would drag on forever.

At last, a hero and his seven companions appeared and vowed to defeat theevil goddess. The quest was perilous.

After many failed attempts, they managed to capture the goddess and seal herin a dungeon locked with six keys.

Now a fragile peace accord holds the two tribes together. The White DragonTribe, pledges to lock away its power until the world is once again facedwith danger. But the Black Dragon Tribe is suspiciously reluctant in itspeace efforts. Will the peace hold, or will the bloody history between these

two sides continue for more eons to come?

Bank/Storage Centers--------------------

In most towns, when you step into the Item Shop, you'll notice that there aretwo counters. One is for the actual Item Shop, and the other is for a storageplace. You can store as much of your money, or items, that you want here.Then, return to the storage place in any town to deposit/withdraw as youplease. They can be quite useful if you run out of room to carry items, andwant to put away the ones you won't need for a while, if at all in the game.

Menu Screens------------

While in the game (outside of battle), press Select to open up the submenu.Here is a quick rundown as to what each option on that menu is for:

Item: View your items, select an item to use, sort items, etc.

Spel: View spell lists of a character, select a spell to use.

Eqip: View currently equipped equipment on your party, add/remove equipment,etc.

Stat: View the statistics for a particular character (attack power, defensepower, experienced needed to gain a level, and so on).

Swch: Switch the positions of the characters if in battle (front or back row;back row players have lower attack power but better defense, and viceversa).

Chng: Change the order of your party's lineup.

Optn: Change in-game options (text speed, manual/auto dashing, music).

Save: Quick save your game (can be done anywhere, as opposed to a full savewhich can only be done at Dragon Shrines; if you reload quick savedata, it disappears, so this is basically a one-time save option).

End: Exit the menu screen (obviously).

Status Ailments---------------

As in most other RPG titles, there are several ailments that can affect yourparty (usually for the worse). They can all be cured with the appropriateitems. Here's a quick list of the ailments and what they do to you:

Curse: Your statistics are lowered, making your attacks weaker and defenseslower.

Paralyze: You fall asleep and become unable to move for some rounds. It wearsoff after a period of time, though.

Poison: You become poisoned, and your HP gradually drains. Outside of battle,you lose HP each time you move, so you should cure this ASAP!

Stun: When a character has 0HP, they are in Stun state. Use a Life item torevive that player.

Zombie: Turn you into a rotting zombie; your statistics are greatly decreasedin this state.

Introduction------------

The game opens with a fiery scene where Ryu (the main character) is sleepingin a burning building. An old woman comes to wake you up. When you havecontrol of Ryu, follow the woman through the hall (she'll get rid of the firethat blocks your path up ahead) and downstairs. There, talk to everyone you

see if you like. You'll see 2 girls with blue hair standing next to eachother. Talk to the one on the left and she'll move, then talk to the otherone. After that, a guy followed by a girl known as Sara will come in and warnthe people of an attack. She'll then turn everyone to stone, and then leavethe building.

Outside, soldiers will escort her out of the village, where she encounters anevil man known as Jade. After a quick confrontation, Sara and Jade disappear.The scene then shifts back to inside the building. Everyone is restored totheir original forms, and they're all wondering what just happened. Aftersome talking, an earthquake will take place and most of the people will runoff. The old man will make a chest appear in the room; open it to get 300GP.Talk to him and the old woman if you want, otherwise exit this building into

the village of Drogen.

Drogen------

In this ruined village, there isn't much you can really do. There are Weaponand Item shops still open, but I wouldn't recommend buying anything at thistime (unless you want some Herbs in case you're in danger out of town). Fromthe building you just came out of, enter the small open room to thesouthwest. This is a Dragon Shrine; check out the dragon statue and it'll


5/98

save your progress. Save now, then exit there and continue south out of thetown.

Overworld---------

Out in the overworld, you are now vulnerable to enemy attacks. Make your waywest and north, then to the northeast while fighting various enemies. Try togain a couple levels along the way as well. You'll come to a castle furtherahead, which is Camlon; enter it.

Camlon------

In this castle town, you'll notice that the town is in ruins and the castlehas been invaded! Enter the small dome-shaped building to the left (DragonShrine) and save, then enter the castle itself.

Camlon Castle-------------

When you enter this ruined castle, follow the path all the way to the firstpool of water. You can drink the water to fully recover your HP if needed.From there, continue along the path and you'll see 2 treasure chests next to

each other; open them to get a total of 140GP. Now, continue through thiscastle and you'll come to stairs; go down them to the next floor. In thisroom, there are 2 closed doors, blocking access to small treasure rooms. Goup to each door and press A to open them, then open the 4 chests to get: 2Herbs, BronzSD, and Gauntlet.

Then, go up the stairs at the left side of the room to the upper floor again.Head south through here and down the next set of stairs you see to enteranother room. This next room is the same as the other room (with the 2 closeddoors). Open the doors and open the 4 chests to get: 2 Herbs, SuedeCP, andVisor. After that, head up the stairs to the right. Follow the path until youcome to a lone treasure chest. Try to open it and you'll trigger a sproig,which will recover all your HP/AP. You'll also get the contents of the chest

(Antdt).

Continue to the left and open the other chest to get another Antdt (you mayset off a trap which makes you lose AP, so be careful). Then, go up thestairs you just passed to reach the throne room. Go forward and the frogsitting on the throne will speak to you. It'll become giant-sized, then enterbattle with you, so read the Bosses section for help here. After you win, thecastle will be cleared of the smell and will revert back to its normal state.Now, open the chests in this room to get a Herb and 150GP. Then, head backdownstairs and follow the path all the way out of the castle.

Camlon------

Back outside, the king will be convinced that you're not a false hero. Anearthquake will then occur, and the king will mention that the Dark Dragonsmay have the Quake control, which is in the Nanai dungeon. Head into theDragon Shrine in town to save, then exit this village.

Overworld---------

Follow the path by going to the northwest. Head east across a bridge, then


6/98

continue southeast across a desert area. You'll see a large port town knownas Nanai, but do not enter it just yet. Wander around until it gets darkoutside (night time), then enter Nanai. If you go to Nanai during the day,guards will block your access, so that's why we're waiting until the night.

Nanai-----

In this town at night, you must follow a specific path in order to avoidbeing seen by the wandering guards. From where you enter the village, goright and up into the Dragon Shrine to save. Then, go all the way to the westwall. At that point, head up 4 steps, right 4 steps, up 7 steps, and right 10steps (all the way to the water). Enter the rightmost building to the northof you, and open the 2 chests inside to get 300GP. Exit the building and getto the edge by the water again. Go south between the 2 towers, then walksouth between the 2 buildings (one of which a guard is sleeping in front of).Head east and north around that building, then go straight north past theguard whose back is to you, and into the castle. Open the closed doordirectly ahead of you, then go down a few sets of steps into the Gaia Temple.

Gaia Temple-----------

When you get to the bottom of the steps, start by heading south and east

across a bridge, and onward to a lone chest. Open it to get an Antdt. Then,go back across the bridge and continue south across a longer bridge. At theother side, go west and north across the bridges and up the paths. Open thechest at the northmost point of this branch of the path to get 650GP. Now, goback south and east to the end of the long bridge, then head all the way tothe east. Go north there to find a chest containing B.Stn. Then, go back westa little, then go up the path you haven't yet explored yet (the one to theright of the bridge). Follow that path all the way to the steps at the end,then go down all the steps to the next area.In this area, go south and down the first small hill, then go east across abridge. At the path split, go north to one chest to get an ArmPad. Go backand head south to another chest containing 70GP. From there, head all the waywest and continue southward along the path. At the end of the last bridge, go

southwest to a chest; open it to get F.Stn. Then, head east a bit, makingsure to go up and open the chest you pass to get a Cure. After that, continueeast and north along the path to the stairs leading to the final area.

Down in the bottom of this lair, go north and confront the knight standingthere. He'll taunt you, then you will enter battle. Read the Bosses sectionfor help on dealing with the Knight. After the fight, check out the machinethe Knight was guarding and pull the key from it. A rumbling will now occur;you'll see a round pad in the right side of the room. Step into it to exitthis place.

Overworld---------

Outside, you'll see the town of Nanai crumble. A man will come and bring youto the King of Camlon.

Camlon------

Here, the King will thank you for what you've done, and the man who broughtyou there will tell you to go east to Winlan. You will find a cave there,which will lead to another kingdom. Now, stop by the Dragon Shrine and save,


7/98

then exit Camlon.

Overworld---------

Here, head northwest and follow the path like you're going back to Nanai.Cross the bridges and go southeast, and continue past the site of the now-gone Nanai. Head north from there and you'll see a town. That's Winlan; enterit!

Winlan------

In this town, you may want to rest at the Inn if needed, then save your gameat the Dragon Shrine. Then, head up the steps and visit the Weapon Shop tothe east. Get the ChainML and equip it on Ryu. Use this time to also sell offold armor and weapons. Then, exit here and visit the Item Shop (to the eastof the Weapon Shop) and buy at least 9 Herbs. Now, make your way to thecastle in the northmost area of town. Enter the castle.

Winlan Castle-------------

Here, go straight ahead and talk to the girl standing between 2 soldiers up

ahead. She'll consult with a girl known as Princess Nina whether if you canspeak with the King or not. You'll also learn some vital information throughtheir talking. After Nina leaves, the girl will lead you to a guest roomwhere you sleep for the night. The scene then shifts to Nina's room, andyou'll have control of her for a while now.

With Nina, exit the room you're in and go down the stairs nearby. Go westacross the hall and open the door leading into a treasure room; open the 4chests to get SuedeSH, SuedeHT, Herb, and Antdt. Be sure to equip the first 2items on her. Then, go back south and east, then head north and east andsouth to another 2 chests. Open those to get 2 Herbs. Now, go north and headdown the stairs to another room. There, go southwest and open 2 more cheststo find 1 Herb and 1 Antdt. Go back upstairs, then head west and south to

exit this castle completely.

Winlan------

In the dark of night outside, head southward towards the bottom of town.Visit the Weapon Shop and buy Nina a BronzRP and SuedeGN (if you can't affordboth, go fight a little bit outside, and/or sell old equipment). Then, saveat the Dragon Shrine and exit town.

Overworld---------

Out here, head west and you'll notice a cave in the mountains. Enter thatcave, which is called the Aura Cave.

Aura Cave---------

When you enter this cave, go straight ahead and 2 soldiers will stop you.They will not let you pass unless they join your party, so let them (they'rea big help here). Then, continue northward and fight the enemies along theway, and go down the stairs at the end. Head down the sets of stairs to get


8/98

down into the actual cave. Here, take the south path, and open the firstchest you reach to get a Cure. At the path split, go southeast and open the 2chests in that area to get a SuedeGN and 150GP. Then, take the north path atthe split, and open a chest to the east to get 70GP. Continue west and openthe chest to get the I.Ore. Now, make your way back to the stairs leading outof this cave.

This time, head along the north path and go across a bridge. Open the chestto get a Herb. Then, head east and follow the path across a couple morebridges, then open a chest you see to get another Herb. Continue west past anorthbound path, then go down a ramp and head west and north to a chestcontaining B.Stn. Now, go back up that small ramp, and go north on that pathyou passed, then go up the stairs to another room.

In this room, go north and west to a chest containing a C.Stn. Then, go eastand up the next set of stairs. From there, go south and exit the cave.

Overworld---------

Outside, head directly west into the town of Romero.

Romero------

When you arrive here, visit the Inn to recover HP/AP, then visit the DragonShrine to save your game. Then, check out the Weapon/Item Shops and buy moreHerbs if necessary, and upgrade your party's equipment if your funds allow.After that, head into the rightmost building in the row of buildings behindthe Inn. There is a hole in the middle of the room there; drop down into itto reach a hidden room below. You'll see 4 jars to the left blocking accessto the northwest corner of the room, in this setup:

1 23

4

Push #4 left, #2 up, and #1 left. Continue to the barrel you previously couldnot reach, and push it aside. Stand where it was and press A to find the Map.Now you can view the overworld by pressing Start when you're outside! Now,head south and up the steps to exit Romero. Reenter the town and save again,then take the west exit out of town.

Overworld---------

Out here, head directly west into the Ramui Woods.

Ramui Woods-----------

In this area, head west as far as you can, then head north and west to find achest. Open it to get a Herb. Now, go all the way south and west to continuethrough this forest. In the next wide-open area, head all the way north andeast through a narrow path in the upper-right corner of the area. Then, gonorthwest to another chest containing 150GP. Now, head back east and souththrough the narrow path, then go all the way to the west while stayingtowards the northmost path of this area. You'll come to a chest if you go allthe way west; open it to get another Herb.


9/98

Next, go all the way east until you can go southward again. Then, go south asfar as you can go. From there, go all the way west to another chest with aBandage inside. I'd recommend equipping that shield on Nina, since youprobably couldn't get a better one for her in Romero. Now, go back east andnorth until you can head west again. Go all the way west until you exit theforest.

Overworld---------

Out here, go west and into the Karma Tower.

Karma Tower-----------

Upon entering this tower, head straight ahead and go down the stairs toanother room. There, open the 2 chests to get 2 Herbs. Then, go back upstairsand head west to the wall, then go north. You'll see a zig-zag path to theright on the other side of the wall. When you can, get around the wall andfollow the path to the stairs. Go up them and open the chest you come to, andyou'll find a M.Drop. Now, go downstairs and make your way back towards theentrance of this tower (between the 2 clean water ponds). Go east and north,and talk to the specter in the way of one of the paths. It'll tell you to goaway, then it'll fight. Read the Bosses section for help on beating this

creature, known as Morte.

After you win that fight, go through the path Morte was blocking and headupstairs to the next room. There, get to the southeast corner of the room andgo down the stairs there to the first floor again. Open the chest to get aCharm, then go back upstairs. Go around the wall to the right, then go up theleft path to another set of stairs. Go up them to another room, then open thechest in that area to get a Cure item. Go back downstairs, then follow thepath counter-clockwise around the room until you reach the stairs at the veryend. Go up them to the next room.

In this room, go straight ahead to the north wall. Then, head to thesoutheast corner of the room, and go down the stairs there. Head north to the

next set of stairs and go up those to another room. Open the chest to theleft to get a Herb. You'll see 4 holes in the floor here; drop into theupper-right hole and you'll land in a room 2 floors down. Go up the stairsthere into another room. There, go south through the hall and up those stairsinto the following room.

Here, go directly south and you'll see a set of stairs in the middle of theroom. Go down them to the next floor, then go around the path and down morestairs to the floor below that. Open the chest there to get a Life2 item.Then, go back up the stairs all the way to the top floor again. Once there,go around to the right and you'll encounter Mortea. Read the Bosses sectionfor tips on beating this one. After that, continue up the stairs to the topof the tower.

There, go west and a bridge will form. Walk across it and it'll disappearonce you're at the other side. There, talk to the 3 girls in the room andthey'll tell you to step on a switch to help them. Open the closed door andwalk over the switch, and a girl will move aside so you can reach the stairsgoing down. You're supposed to go down those stairs, but go upstairs anddrink the water/save your game real quick.

After that, go back down to the previous room, and continue down the stairsto the left. Open the chest in the middle of that room to get a Cure. Then,


10/98

continue downstairs to the next floor. Go around the path here and down morestairs to a different-looking room. Head straight ahead and a wizard willappear behind you. He'll release the poisonous Xeon Gas in the air, causingyour party to become very weak. In the battle, do NOT heal yourselves; justattack for a few rounds although it does nothing to the wizard. After a fewrounds, one of the Soldiers will escape from the area, leaving one moreSoldier and Nina to fight. After the wizard finishes them off, the scene willshift to the roof where the other Soldier is. The wizard meets him there, andthe Soldier flies away to Winlan.

Winlan------

After a brief talk with the guards in town, the Soldier will perish. Oneguard will enter the castle to get the Hero (Ryu) to help. When the guardtalks to Ryu, say Yes when he asks for help. With control of Ryu again, exitthe castle and head to the Dragon Shrine at the southmost area of town. Saveyour game, then exit the town.

Overworld---------

Outside, talk to the guards standing around to hear the plan. Then, talk tothe Soldier and the group will fly to the tower. The wizard's force will

counter your group, but the Soldier will get through and fly you onto theroof.

Karma Tower-----------

Back on the roof here, the Soldier will join you. Go down into the tower,then go downstairs all the way to where you first encountered the wizard.Before you enter the wizard's area, the Soldier will leave the group. Headdown into the lair and go south, then all the way west (pass the middle pathgoing north for now). Go up the west path to the chest, where you'll triggera Sproig that recovers all your HP/AP. Open the chest to get a Foil weaponfor Ryu; be sure to equip that right away! Now, go back south and east, and

up the middle path to reach the wizard. You'll enter battle, so read theBosses section for help here!

After you win, you will receive the Remedy. Nina will thank you and you'llboth get to the roof of the tower. The Soldier will take you both back toWinlan.

Winlan------

When you arrive outside of town, Nina will go to see the king in the castle.Ryu will then follow into the castle. Inside the castle, go straight aheadpast the guards. After you pass the 3 guards standing around, go right and up

the stairs to the next room. There, make your way all the way to the King'sbed where Nina is standing by. Talk to Nina and then the Remedy will work,curing the King! In return for curing his illness, the King will allow youaccess to the tunnel beneath the castle! Nina will also choose to join yourparty for good!

Now, get back downstairs and make your way to the upper-right corner of theroom. Go down the set of stairs you find there to reach the basement. Headall the way south and east until you reach 2 guards blocking your path. Talkto them and they'll let you pass since you have the OK from the King.


11/98

Continue onward to access the bridge. Cross the bridge and exit at the otherend.

Overworld---------

From here, head southeast along the dirt path until you reach a wide openarea. Head east to a village next to a dried up river; enter that village ofTantar.

Tantar------

When you enter this town, head to the Weapon Shop first. Get the Scythe forRyu and the Bandana for Nina (that should be all you need for equipment rightnow). Stop at the Inn if you need to rest, then save at the Dragon Shrine.After that, head to the south area of the village, and enter the house in thebottom-right corner, which is where the blacksmith lives. Talk to him andtrade the I.Ore for the Saw, which will help you in the coming areas. Afterthat, save again, then exit the village.

Overworld---------

Outside again, head back northwest to the dirt path you came here bytraveling along. Head north until you reach a dense forest. Try to enter itand you'll use the Saw to cut down the trees in the way. The Saw will thenbreak, rendering it useless, but you can enter the Lament Woods now.

Lament Woods------------

In this area, go north and west to the path split. Go south and west, thennorth to another small split. Take the path going east and north, leading toa chest containing a Herb. Now, head back south and west, then continuenorth. Go straight to the north as far as you can go; you'll come to anotherchest. Open it to get a T.Drop. Then, go down and take the first path going

east. Follow it east and then to the south. Continue south to the end, thentake the southeast path to the south and west to 2 chests. Open them to getanother T.Drop and a Life.

Now, go southeast along that narrow path, then head all the way to the north.Go as far as you can, and you'll come to yet another chest; open it to get aWrist shield. I recommend equipping that on Nina since she has lower defensethan Ryu at this point. Now, go back south a tiny bit to the path that goeswest. Go northwest and follow the zig-zag path around. When you reach thesplit where you can go south or west, continue west and north. Continue northand east, and you'll come to a building. It is the Dark Dragon Fort; enterit.

Dark Dragon Fort----------------

When you enter here, go straight ahead and encounter the 2 guards in yourway. You'll have to fight them (also known as Bowman and Lancer). Beat them,then continue straight ahead. You'll fall into a trapped floor, causing youto drop to the room below. There, open the 4 chests to get 2 Lifes, a LongSD,and a T.Drop. Equip the LongSD with Ryu, then go back up the stairs to themain floor. From where you come up, follow the path directly north of you. Gonorth and around at the end, then go south and west. At the next split, go


12/98

north and west until you reach more guards. Defeat them, then go west andsouth to 4 more chests. Open them to get a Herb, T.Drop, Acorn, and Life2.

After that, go northwest and down the stairs to the floor below. There, goeast and down more stairs to the bottom floor. Open the 4 chests you find toget 2 Herbs, a WolfHT, and a T.Drop. Then, go back upstairs. Head east to theend of the hall, then follow the path all the way around until you see achest. Open it to get a Herb. Next, head all the way west to the end of thehall, then go south to another chest with a Herb inside.

Now, go all the way north and east to a row of guards in the way. Approachand speak to them to enter battle against a Bowman and 2 Lancers. Defeat themlike before, and a man posing as the chief will ask if you want to take theenemy's weapons before leaving. Say yes (you won't be able to progress bysaying no), and he'll lead you down the hall and into a room. He'll trap youin a room, where a two-headed monster called Pog comes to fight. Read theBosses section for help here. After that fight, an arrow will fly by and aguy known as Bo will confront the fake chief. You'll all enter battle againstthe General, so read the Bosses section for help with beating him as well.

After the fight, the real chief will leave and Bo will permanently join yourparty! Before you go, equip Bo with the WolfHT you found earlier; he'll needit. Then, backtrack all the way to the entrance of the fort, and get out fromthere.

Lament Woods------------

Back here again, simply go all the way south through here and you'lleventually get out of here. If you have that much trouble exploring byyourself, just read the directions on your first run through here backwards,and you'll be alright.

Overworld---------

Out in the overworld again, head southeast along the dirt path until it ends.

Then, continue southeast where you'll see Tantar and Tuntar across the driedup river. Go north and cross the bridge, then go south at the other side andenter Tuntar this time.

Tuntar------

In this mirror of Tantar, visit the Item Shop if you need more Herb and Lifeitems. Visit the large building to the south and talk to the chief inside.He'll tell you of a Stone Robot that can unblock the river, but it is inAgua. Leave the building, then rest at the Inn and save at the Dragon Shrine.Then, exit the village.

Overworld---------

Out here, head back across the bridge to the north, then go south intoTantar.

Tantar------

Here, visit the Weapon Shop and upgrade Bo's equipment (buy a ShortBW and a


13/98

SuedeAR). After that, sell his old stuff and exit the town.

Overworld---------

Now, head northwest and follow the dirt path all the way northwest to thelong bridge leading to Winlan. Do not cross that bridge; instead continuenorth and west along the path to a forest. Put Bo in front of your party(press L or R), and walk west through the forest. Continue west and you'llcome to the town of Romero. Enter Romero.

Before we continue, there is something you must have in order to progressahead in the game. This item is the G.Bar, which is sold in the Item Shop ofAuria.

At this point, there are a few things you can go do (most are optional, butone is mandatory). Just to save you some time, the man in the tent wants aB.Rang and won't talk to you unless you bring him one. To get the B.Rang,have Nina Warp you to Arad, then go south to the Krypt. There, look for theB.Rang stuck in the rocks (in the room where you fought EyeSpy). Have Oxbreak it free for you, then get out and warp back to Gant. Additionally, youcan head to some other locations and obtain treasures with Ox's help that youwouldn't get otherwise. Here are their locations:

Agua Tower: 3000G, Life, SilverBR, Life2Bleak Cave: A.Ptn, L.Ptn

You can now Warp to Gant at this point if you're done with collecting thoseoptional items if you were searching for them.

that's been opened already, and a shelf covering up a hole in the wall. HaveOx push it aside, then enter that hidden room. Break the rocks up ahead andput Karn in front of your group.
