The walktroughs are missing!!! But don't worry, because I
separate the Walktrough from this FAQ. Actually, I wan't them together,
but I don't know why, when I try to send this submission to Game Faqs,
my space in e-mail is full. So I decided to separate them... Anyway,
enjoy them!!!
INTRODUCTION
Hi there! Well, as I already said in the Update Section, now I'm
working hard to complete this FAQ. For this FAQ, I'm preparing the
complete general list, soldier list, and walktrough for others
characters... I almost done the general type list! I'll update this
version soon!
And for the great Dragon Force 2 players ! If you guys want to
discuss a little about the game in hope to exchange some ideas on the
game, you can send me e-mail to grandchester@resurrection.com or
jchebeet@sby.mega.net.id ! I'll be very happy if you can help me to
complete this FAQ!!!
ABOUT THE GAME
What I think of Dragon Force 2...
I'll start off with the first thing you'll probably notice. The
anime intro is GREATLY improved over the first. The animation quality
and music were both very well done. when you start a game up you are
given the choice of picking from 6 of the 8 rulers again. The other 2
you can only get after you beat it,like in DF. After chooseing your
ruler you are taken to the traditional Administration Mode, were you can
take care of domestic affairs.
This time however there are a few new options. You are now able
to create your own weapons and items by combining minerals found in
mines(showed on the main map) and some of your crapier weapons. This Is
REALLY cool. You know have the ability to equip 2 items to each
character now instead of 1. The main map is VASTLY different from the
first DF. The scaling is better now and there are trancparent clouds
hovering over the map (WHOOPEEE!!). New for the battle scenes. New ALL
of the characters with the exception of 2 have there own faces. No more
of that same picture for a different character crap. All of the
commanders animate much better now, although they do seem a little
smaller. There are ALOT more types of troops now, and the ability to
have 2 different types of troops in your army. Other than that stuff the
battles are pretty much the same. Your commanders can now use 6
different spells instead 3. The look of the spells themselves are a
mixed bag. Many of the older, cooler looking spells in the first DF like
Wein's "Power Storm" have been seriously down graded in there look. But
most of the newer spells like "Earthquake" and "Meteor Rain" really look
cool. I just wish they all looked that cool. The music is not as good as
it was in the first ether. Its not horrible, but it is a down grade from
the first. Well, thats about it. All in all DF2 is a good sequal, I
think it's better than the first. If you import Saturn games be sure to
pick this one up.
Dragon Force II is the best strategy game for Sega Saturn. This
is the sequel of Dragon Force I. This game can be pretty confusing to
those that never play the prequel, so I'll explain them as much detail
as possible...
This game sets in a land called Legendra. There is eight big
kingdom. You play as one of the king. The eight kings have a diffrent
story. Your mission is to reunite all the king and save Legendra from
Madruk (evil who wants to destroy Legendra). I'll list the kings and
their kingdom.
KINGS OF LEGENDRA
1. Alvin - Lord Of Higlanders (Highland Kingdom)
He is the main character in this game. The Highland Kingdom is
located south of Legendra.
2. Gangas - Guardian of the Forest (Bozack Nation)
The strongest king in Legendra. He has great strength, offence,
defence, etc. Bozack is located in the south-east of Legendra.
3. Shan - Thief Master (Topaz Kingdom)
Shan is a good choice for a beginner. He has strong generals,
and he seeks the Dragon Force destiny first. At the beginning of the
game, Kaede will join without battle, and the other kings always join
after you beat them. Topaz is located north-west of Legendra on a small
island
4. Baats - Lord Of Fandaria (Fandaria Empire)
Baats scenario is very hard at beginning. But after Shen joins,
everything will be easy. He is a great fighter. Fandaria located west of
Legendra.
5. Kaede - Princess Of Samurai (Izumo Nation)
Kaede is not a good character. She is weak, and her magic
sucks... Izumo is located east of Legendra. By the way, she is Shen's
girlfriend !!!
6. Sons - Magic Queen (Tradnoa Kingdom)
Sons is a great magician. She has the best magic, and her magic
meter is very quick. Tradnor is located in the center of Legendra.
7. Wendy - Queen Of Elves (Moon Palace)
She isn't a great fighter, but she has great magic. Moon Palace
is located north of Legendra.
8. Adelva - The New Black Knight Of Masked Death (Tristan Empire)
Adel probably's the best character in this game. He is a great
fighter and a great magician, he has got a lot of great generals too.
Tristan is located between Moon Palace and Tradnor.
TYPE OF SOLDIERS
In Dragon Force, each general can bring 100 soldiers to battle.
The difference between Dragon Force I and II is the way to put the
soldiers in a battle. Dragon Force II has a complex system, you can give
2 type of troops for one generals to use in a battle (the maximum
capacity is 100). For example : You can give Calvalry to Alvin, but
Calvalry weak against Hawk Knight, so you can give Dragon to support
Alvin's Calvalry !
Great isn't it ! Anyway, this is the troops list as far as I know :
1. Soldiers
This is your basic soldiers.
2. Thiefs
Fast troops, but they have a low defence.
3. Monks
Avarage troops. Have a good offence and defence.
4. Archers
Weak troops. Can attack from long range. Have a great formation.
5. Mages
Long range attacker. Faster and stronger attacks than Archer.
6. Samurais
Strong troops. Have a great offence and defence.
7. Beasts
Fast troops. Great for fight Calvalry, but not much else.
8. Calvalry
Strong and fast troops. Great for fight generalsand goblins.
9. Robots
Have the best defence, but are slow.
10. Robot-Calvalry
As strong as Robots, but as fast as Calvalry.
11. Fyling-Robots (secret scrool)
As strong as Robots, but attack from air.
12. Angel Harpy
Fast troops. Attack from air and are good against most other
troops.
13. Devil Harpy
Not as fast as Angel, but have better offence and defence.
Attack from air.
14. Zombies
Like the first Dragon Force, they are fast and strong, but
killed easily by mages.
15. Ghosts
Great for long range attacks and short range attacks.
16. Hawk Knights
Great Air Attacks. Fast and strong and very good against Cavelry
17. Chimera (secret scrool)
Best for fight generals. Attack from air.
18. Dragons
Perfect troops. Have the best offence and defence.
19. Goblins
This is Madruk's troops. As strong as Dragon.
20. Demons
This is Madruk's special soldiers. Stronger than Dragon!!!
ITEM MIXING LIST (Kamui's section)
Building weapons
this section will help you with Dragon Force 2's annoying yet
cool weapon
building system. I've listed all of the combinations Ive found. More
will be added as I find more.
Crystal and Stone help
I figured I should help you out with the names of each mineral
and
crystal, especially for those of you who dont know much japanese.
- Magic Crystal
Redish crystals pointing outward, usually enhances the magical
abilities of an item.
- Power Crystal
Green gem,adds Strength to an item.This item is probably used the
least.

White crystals pointing outward.

I'm not sure what this one is called. It has a purplish color to
it and is covered in small bumps.
- Light Crystal
White gems.
- Thunder Crystal
Yellow crystals pointing outward.
- Gold Stone
Golden rock. Not much else to say.
- Iron Stone
Very shiney, silver stone. Metallic.
- Silver Stone
Tan with with a strange spiral to it.
- Copper stone
Has a rust color to it. Very rare for some reason.
- Dragon Stone
I wish I new EXACTLY what this does,but I think it has all of the
properties of the other stones, but also has its own original
combinations.
- Ore
Supposedly there is a material called "ore",but I have yet to
find it.
There may be more types,but Ive probably forgotten. Ill try to
find out as soon as I can. If you have found ANY that I have not listed,
send them to me and I'll put them up with your name by it.

WALKTROUGH
I just done Alvin and Shan's walktrough. Kaede's walktrough is
from Zero Alpha (thank's) Now I'm preparing Baats' walktrough, and my
friend, Andy Bonz, is preparing Sons' and Gangas' waktrough (I hope). If
anyone knows the others, please e-mail me, I'll give you credit (I'll
very happy if you can send me Wendy's and Adelva's walktrough).
1. Alvin Walktrough
First, conquer all the kingdoms, and reunite the 8 kings. You'd
better beat Baats first. If you attack Bozack or Izumo, Kadae and Gangas
won't join you anyway. Then beat Shan. Go to a tower in the center of
Legendra. Now go to Bozack and Izumo, and Kadae and Gangas will join.
After that, Wendy will join you without battle. Beat Adelva, and finally
beat Sons.
Adelva won't join you if you don't beat one of Madruk's general
(located in the south of Tristan). Beat him, and Adelva will join you.
Then, go to Moon Palace for a scene. Wendy will leave your party. You
can find her in a city near Bozack,
After Wendy rejoin with you, go to Moon Shrine (east of Moon
Palace) for a cool FMV. After a long scane (plus cool FMVs) go to a city
near the end dungeon. Then the barrier will be broken, and you have to
beat three Madruk's general. After that bring all the kings to the tower
in the end dungeon, and you'll open the path to the Madruk's Domain.
A good character to get at the beginning of the game is Gigg (the
Dragon from Dragon Force 1) in a city in the south east of Legendra
(near forest).
2. Shan Walktrough
Like Alvin, first conquer all the kingdoms, and reunite the 8
kings. Kaede will join you when you arrive in the south city of Topaz.
But she will leave with one of your general (she had been kidnapped by
your general). After that beat Baats, then Alvin. After that beat
Madruk's general in a city, then go to a tower. After that beat Gangas.
Go to Izumo, you'll find Kadae and fight your ex-general. Continue your
journey to Sons' kingdom. Beat her, then beat Adelva. Finally go to Moon
Palace, and Wendy will join you.
After you reunite all the kings, go to the tower at the center
of Legendra. Go back to the Moon Palace, visit the Moon Shrine, Wendy
will leave your party. After that, go to Bozack. You can find her in a
city near Bozack. Head back to Moon Shrine to open the last dungeon. Go
to Izumo to find the holy swords. After that go to the city near the
last dungeon to break the seal (Shan and Kaede must in the same team).
After a long scane (plus cool FMVs). You have to beat three
Madruk's general. After that bring all the kings to the tower in the end
dungeon, and you'll open the path to the Madruk's Domain.
3. Kaede's Walktrough (thanks for Zero Alpha)
First conquer all the kingdoms, and reunite the 8 kings. Shan
will join you when you arrive in the south city of Topaz. Beat Madruk's
general in a cities, then go to a tower. Sons and Adelva won't join you
yet.
Finally go to Moon Shrine, make sure that Kadae, Shan and Wendy
are on the same team. After that go to a city nare Bozack. Head back to
Moon Shrine (Kadae, Shan and Wendy must be in the same team) to open the
last dungeon (Adelva and Sons will now join you). Go to Izumo to find
the holy swords.
After that go to the city near the last dungeon to break the
seal (Kadae and Shan must be on the same team). After a long scane (plus
cool FMVs), you have to beat three Madruk's general. After that bring
all the kings to the tower in the end dungeon (make sure, again, that
Shan and Kadae are on the same team), and you'll open the path to the
Madruk's Domain
TIPS & TRICKS
As you know, Dragon Force 2 have a lot of soldiers. However
special ones come often when you mix certain materias (soldier
scroll,with two other crystals etc;). The same thing applies to special
eq. The only problem I find with this process is gathering materials.
Crystals tend to come only once in a while. Herbs can only be gather
seasonally in villages. And most difficult, are the silver and gold
stones(they tend to only come once a life time #.# and it's the major
necessity) So far I've only made a magic rod, basta sword, mystical
steel spike club. This issue is a major thing I would like to talk about
because I've never played any other game with such an option. (Thanks to
Michael L. Nguyen for this info !) - See above for the item mixing list.
If you know any japanese. Talking to your characters many times
will get them to release hints on how to make certain Items, but they
NEVER tell the whole combination.
Like the first Dragon Force, now you can command generals while
paused. This is a great way to save the time.
Dragon Force 2 doesn't have Search commands. To earn items, the
only way to do is auto-Search at the Domestic Affair Becon. If you want
to find a lot of useful items, separate your general to all of the
kingdoms, villages, and caves before the Domestic Affair Becon.
If the enemy runs from battle with you, immediately pause the
game and then deploy your units. This will immediately attack the
fleeing armies when you unpause the game. Make sure you check which way
the retreating generals are moving so you can aim your armies the same
way. After winning enter your castle again.
A quick way to earn a lot of merits is to attack enemy generals
in the caves. This generals will never dies from battle each time I
beated them. And they have a great level. This is a great way to build
your general's level. The only thing you have to know is the knight
generals have the silence magic, so fight them with the non-magician
generals, and the mage generals have the earth rave and lightning magic
that can destroy your soldiers easly, I usually fight this one with
harpies.
