UPDATES  ________________________________________________________________

Version 0.7 (June 11, 1998)

  Did you miss me? OK, I won't be able to update until I finish my exams,
  so be patient. Also, since I've had no time to play the game, there's
  no update to the walkthrough yet. But don't worry, because K.M., who
  has finished his exam season, will be able to continue the FAQ in the
  meantime.  

  Made a LOT of corrections to item names and effects (all that were
  missing) thanks to Tatsushi Nakao, which incidentally is the Uni I
  mentioned in the last What's New. Also added some elusive items to the
  walkthrough thanks to him, as well as the Music Select and Sandman's
  Desert tips.  Added some warning notes on the Debug Waza, Party Select
  and Save Anywhere Action Replay codes.  Added Yggdrasil's Reverse Gear
  to the tips section (I discovered this back on revision 0.2, but kept
  forgetting about adding it ^_^;).  Corrected the Status Ailments
  section a bit.  Added the fact that HP-recovering Ethers restore lost
  armor (defense) when inside a Gear, thanks to Zhou Tai An.

  And finally, although most of you will already know by now, Square has
  announced that Xenogears will be released in the US! Oh joy! Also, and
  since judging from SaGa Frontier, their translations' quality has
  improved, it most likely means that I'll be purchasing the game, and
  make a US version of the FAQ. Depending on numerous factors, I might
  even delay the rewrite of the walkthrough in order to base it upon the
  US version instead.

Version 0.6 (April 28, 1998)

  Well, I decided to continue the walkthrough after all, even if I didn't
  receive more than one mail asking for it ^_^ I'll also be making the
  complete monster list, with HP, Experience and G. That's because I've
  found a complicated but easy way of doing it (confused? ^_^).

  Made quite a lot of item names corrections thanks to Uni
  (uni@dragonfire.com).

  Cleaned up Accesory list under the Accesory Select code. Added Links
  section. Added Maps section... with just one map (the Yggdrasil).
  Added Gear Armor, Engines and Frames to the item lists; they're
  incomplete, but I'll do them as I write the walkthrough (there's no
  other way).

Version 0.5 (April 14, 1998)

  Not that big a update. I'm still debating whether to make a detailed
  walkthrough or not (read the walkthrough section for details).

  Added item costs to the item/weapon/accesories lists.

  Zhou Tai An and I have decided he'd best send his translations
  to Gamefaqs on his own. Since he updates about once a week and
  I do once a month at best, it makes no sense to keep people waiting
  for them. If you haven't them yet, and don't know Japanese, go to
   and get them. Do it NOW!

  Added some clarification on Gear combat and Skills, how to learn
  them, and how Infinity Attack Level works.

  Added the following Action Replay codes: Fast Level Up (Fei),
  Enemies have 1 HP, Enemy Gears have 1 HP and Infinite Money (at
  reader's request). Also added the musics list below the Music
  Select code and cleaned up the item list under the Item Select code.

  Added info about the third Gear Skill in each Level, thanks to David
  Johnson (johnsonr@compuserve.com).

Version 0.4  (March 21, 1998)
  Ignacio here. K.M. has unfortunately left the project due to lack 
  of time :(, so expect a lot more errors and such, besides slower 
  updates.

  Well, a quite big update anyway. The items, Ethers and skills lists
  are all completed now. I also reformatted them so they would be easier
  to handle.
  Zhou Tai An not only has continued his translations, but he has 
  even revised what he had written. I would strongly reccomend 
  re-reading the first part, because a lot of things are much clearer.
  I've made quite some Game Shark codes too. They are in the tips 
  section. Additions and clarifications to the Attributes, AP store 
  bar and Gear combat sections, among others, have been made.
  Lastly, there's a handy tip to get into / out of your gears quickly
  in the tips section, by Jego Herve (hjego@hotmail.com).

Version 0.2  (March 2, 1998)
  The walkthrough and Lists sections have been expanded upon.  Also,
  Zhou Tai An will now be aiding both Ignacio and myself by providing
  storyline translations.  Give him a hand!

Version 0.1  (February 26, 1998)
  The first release!  Just basic information here and nothing too in
  depth.

Version 0.0 begun on February 10, 1998


INTRODUCTION  ___________________________________________________________

Well, K.M. is back, and I'm out of the picture until next month, which
means the FAQ will be more confusing than ever ^_^; Each "I" could be
either him or me, but if you really need to know who's speaking in which
moment, just check the number of the revision in which that was added.
As for mail, you can contact either of us, but for the moment you're
better off with him, since I'll be studying.

This FAQ is based on the Japanese version of Xenogears.  I've changed
my mind about making a US version: considering that Square seems to
have improved their translations, I'm pretty sure I will make an US
version. Again, if they mess up this one too, I'll be too depressed to
do so (or keep breathing for that matter).

Now that I'm on the subject, ALL information in this FAQ applies to the
Japanese version of the game only, ESPECIALLY the Action Replay / Game
Shark codes. They will NOT work in the US version. I'll redo them if and
when I get the US version. Don't worry: even if I don't get it, I'll most
likely be able to borrow it, so I would put an Action Replay US update
like in FFT.

Since this guide is for a Japanese game, Japanese text is used, 
mainly in the various lists.  All text is encoded in New-Jis and can 
be viewed using various Japanese word proccessors, among them the 
excellent NJSTAR utilities which you can find at .

My reccomendation: download NJWin, install it; open the FAQ in Word,
WordPad or anything similar (import from DOS text); select the whole
document and change the font style to Courier New, eight points.
It looks awesome.

If you MUST use DOS (like me!), then you'll have to download NJStar. 
The problem is that, as far as I know, it can't handle files greater 
than 64Kb, so you'd have to chop this somehow. Besides that, it looks
just as cool.

If you decide to go on without getting any of these word processors
(boo!), note that every time Japanese text appears, it will misalign
things horrendously (maybe even wrapping the line around... ugh!).

Also, if you have problems viewing the Japanese text, try getting the
FAQ from Kao Megura's homepage. It seems that Japanese text gets
misconverted rather easily when sent by e-mail / handled, but Kao
Megura seems to do it just fine.
 
Well, remember that I'm Spanish, which means English is my second 
language. So expect errors. Tons of them ^_^;. And BTW, I don't know
almost any Japanese either.

Finally, I won't answer questions by e-mail. Believe me, after two 
weeks of spending 1-2 hours a day answering mail, I just had to say 
"enough". I don't really mind replying, but it takes way too much 
time, which I can't afford. That doesn't mean you shouldn't ask: 
if I'm able, I'll answer your questions in the next revision of the
FAQ.

You can contact me (Ignacio) at:

   2   .   D I S C   O N E   W A L K T H R O U G H
=========================================================================

Well, I finally decided to actually write the detailed walkthrough. The
reasons for my decision are varied, and funnily enough they aren't related
to receiving any fan mail (I only received one!), but rather, my absolute
loving of the game and the awesome plot translations from Zhou Tai An.
Beware, though, that it will take a ridiculous time to finish it, and I
might change my mind before finishing it. Remember you still can find David
Johnson's complete walkthrough at:

              

Lastly, for those of you that actually care about it (if there's anyone),
I decided to write the complete enemy list (yes, with HP, Exp and G), the
reason for it being that I've found a way to have active the AR software and
the walkthrough at the same time.


While I will sometimes make references about what is actually happening in
the game, all the info I provide has been obtained from Zhou Tai An's
translations of the game (since I don't know Japanese). Therefore, if you
have intention of understanding anything about the story, you should really
get them. Anything there concerning the plot overrides anything you can find
here.

About the monsters: Most of the info I provide is self-explanatory. The line
below the HP, etc... is the description of the enemy, precceded by whether
if it is a character-sized, drawn enemy or a Gear sized, polygonal one.





                 L a h a n   T o w n

   Items in this area: Aquasol x3

   After the FMV showing the crash of a huge ship into your planet long
   ago, and the non-interactive sequence showing a glimpse of the present,
   you'll find yourself reconstructing the sequence of events that led
   there. In other words, you begin playing a flashback.

   Your main character is Fei. 
   Fei's initial equipment: Warrior Clothing, Warrior Hat, Stamina Ring. 
   Fei's initial items: None
   Fei's initial money: 100 G. 

   The control switches to you after Fei finishes his picture. You can
   check the nice pictures he's done in this very room. In the northern
   room of this very floor you can talk to a maid who will tell you of
   your arrival to Lahan town. In the westernmost room there are two
   barrels containing one Aquasol each.

   Up the stairs then. Here you can talk to Timothy (Alur's fiancee and 
   your friend) and old man Lee (sorta foster parent) among others. When 
   you try to leave, Dan (Alur's brother) will come in and ask you to 
   talk to him outside.

   Talk to Dan outside. I don't know what difference each choice makes to 
   the game, though.

   You can also talk to the woman by the cow and choose the second
   option to receive another Aquasol.

   There are quite some buildings in the town outside. For one, there's
   a shop which sells:

   Character Items:
   AquaSol                  20
   RoseSol                 100
   OmegaSol                 50
   Survival Tent           150

   BTW, never EVER buy Survival Tents. Get OmegaSol instead. The reason for
   this is that they have the same cost/effect ratio (since the Tents heal
   all three characters, but cost thrice as much), but Tents MUST be used
   on all characters AND they can only be used in save spots!

   There is also a bar, though there isn't much of interest here.

   Another house has a guy playing paper, scissors, rock, but you always
   seem to lose (15 GP). You can talk to the woman downstairs and choose
   the first option to receive 150 GP.

   There's a beginner's house too, but since (surprise!) the game is
   in Japanese, it's not too useful. There's a Memory Cube (save point)
   here, but you could just as well go to the world map to save.

   Now that we're onto it, you might want to wander outside the town
   (not by its northern side) to check the world map. Since you'll have
   to go out of the town later anyway, enemies you can find there are
   explained later.

   You can also go to the mountain North of Lahan if you want, but you'll
   have to go later anyway, so...

   When you're done, go to the house which has a woman at its door and
   talk to her. Go through the door and up the stairs to meet Alur.

   Once the scene's over, go to the mountain north of the village. This
   is the first "dungeon" of sorts.


                    L a h a n   M o u n t a i n

   Items in this area: AquaSol x2, Bird's Egg
   Enemies in this area:
   つちのこ (Tsuchinoko) (type 1)
     HP 15, Exp 2, G 0. Leaves Tsuchinoko Meat. Leaves Tsuchinoko steak if
     defeated with a fire-elemental attack.
     Character-sized. Potato-like thing ^_^;
   さい (Sai)
     HP 14, Exp 3, G 0.
     Character-sized. Blue wolf-like creature.

   Now that we're talking about that, the bit about roasting the
   Tsuchinokos to get Tsuchinoko Steaks is extremelly useful, specially
   when yo uget Ellie later on. Tsuchinoko steaks recover 150 HP (outside
   battles) and can be sold for 150 G.

   In the first crossroad where the save spot is, take the West path
   for the shortest route, or the East for a longer one (including a
   jump) during which you can get an Aquasol. Anyway, you'll end up
   in a platform with a boy on it. Here, you can go back East and drop
   to the ledge with a tree, then jump up to grab a Bird's Egg (choose
   the first option). However its owner won't be too pleased about it, 
   and it will follow you to the end of this section demanding you to 
   return the egg. Each time you answer no (bottom option), it'll peck you
   for 1 damage.
   Anyway, you'll have to drop back down and repeat your way until the 
   platform with the boy. He'll tell you to make a running jump across 
   the ledge. Do so, then cross the bridge. After that you can jump down 
   to get (you guessed it) another Aquasol. Then climb back up and exit 
   North.


                     S h i t a n ' s   H o u s e

   Items in this area: AquaSol, Midori's Ring

   Head to the back door of the house. There will be some flowers there,
   leaving a small space between them and the wall of the building. Well, 
   jump over to that space, then search the flowers from that side to 
   receive Midori's Ring (it doesn't show up in the item list).
   You can also check the top of a rock near that: there is bird food
   over it (it doesn't serve any purpose, though).   
   After that, check the door in the middle floor of the observatory. A 
   chicken will pop up ^_^ but if you search where it came from, there's 
   an Aquasol. 
   Elsewhere, you can explore the place at your leisure. The top floor's
   room has a ladder that leads to a telescope, with which you can check
   a bit of the world map.

   Inside the room at ground level of the building, you'll meet Shitan's
   wife, Yui, and daughter, Midori. Talk to Yui, and, if you have it, 
   Fei'll give her the Bird's Egg. Note that Fei won't give Midori her
   ring, though! ^_^;

   Now head to the building with the Land Crab over it (that insect /
   helicopter machine). Enter it after the sequence, and touch the
   music box in there.

   After the sequence, it will be at night. Head back to Lahan through
   the mountain. There are no monsters now. Save at the Memory Cube if
   you want.


                        L a h a n   T o w n

   After another sequence, a Gear battle will ensue. Refer to the appropriate
   section for controls, etc... 

   Battle : 
   ムシャ百式 (Fighter Type 100) x2
     HP 150, Exp 90 (each), G 50 (each).
     Gear-sized. Somewhat old-looking war Gear.

   Really easy. You'd have problems trying to lose against them.
   Once the sequences are over, you'll find yourself in the world map again.


                      W o r l d   M a p

   Enemies in this area:
   つちのこ (Tsuchinoko) (type 1)
   ホッパー (Hopper)
     HP 100, Exp 8, G 0. Leaves Swordman Clothes.
     Character-sized. Two-legged green creature.

   You can't enter Lahan (rather, there's not much Lahan left to enter to),
   but you can go to the mountain instead. Don't, though.
   Head for the forest West of where you are, and find an entrance on its
   north-easthern border.


        F o r e s t   o f   t h e   B l a c k   M o o n
                   f i r s t   s e c t i o n

   Items in this area: Aquasol
   Enemies in this area:
   つちのこ (Tsuchinoko) (type 2)
     HP 30, Exp 13, G 0. Leaves Tsuchinoko Meat. Leaves Tsuchinoko steak
     if defeated with a fire-elemental attack.
     Character-sized. Looks like a Tsuchinoko. In fact, the only difference
     seems to be the amount of Exp it gives.
   さい (Sai)
   甲?虫 (Armor ? Insect)
     HP 7, Exp 35, G 0. Leaves Strange Fruit.
     Character-sized. Armored insect-like creature. All physical attacks
     inflict 1 damage (including Skills), so use either Square attacks or
     the "Finger Bullet".

   During this dungeon, you will find Tsuchinoko's around. You can "talk" to
   them to fight them, but beware that you won't be able to run from these
   battles. 

   つちのこ (Tsuchinoko) (type 2)

   Proceed SW until the crossroad. Take the leftmost (easthernmost) path.
   Jump to the small rock, then to the big, stepped one. Jump up the steps 
   to the fallen tree-trunk. Walk over it until you come across another
   tree-trunk over which this is leaning. Jump down to its left (SW) side 
   and grab the (sigh) Aquasol. Go all the way to the SW and climb the 
   rock with the tree roots on it to reach the Memory Cube. Continue 
   through the winding ledge to reach another tree-trunk. Fight the 
   Tsuchinoko group standing before the rock. You have three options now:
   A) Get rolled over by the boulder (-5 HP), B) Run Indiana Jones-like
   all the way through the tree only to realize there's no more tree 
   and you have to jump down to almost the start, or C) jump to the
   ledge you came from as soon as you see it moving. You guessed it:
   C) is the right answer. After that, jump back and continue through
   where the boulder was.

   There'll be an anime scene introducing Ellie now, after which you'll
   fight two enemies.

   Battle : 
   フォレストエルフ (Forest Elf) x2
     HP 41, Exp 21 (each), G 0 (each). Leaves ZetaSol (each).
     Character-sized. Blue humanoid.

   Again, it'll take less than two rounds. After this, there'll be another
   scene, then you'll be in the next part of the forest.

   
        F o r e s t   o f   t h e   B l a c k   M o o n
                 s e c o n d   s e c t i o n

   Items in this area: Aquasol, Survival Tent, Signal Rod
   Enemies in this area:
   ビーニック (Beanick)
     HP 30, Exp 19, G 0.
     Character-sized. Green, raven-like bird (yeah, I know ravens are
     black! :P). They can't be hit using regular attacks when they're on
     a tree.
   フォレストエルフ (Forest Elf)
     HP 41, Exp 21, G 0. Leaves ZetaSol.
     Character-sized. Blue humanoid.

   Ellie has joined you at this point. 
   Ellie's initial equipment: Magical Rod, Cloth Suit, Ether Stone, 
     Anti-Ether Stone.

   Go south to the crossroad. To the right (West) is an Aquasol. Go back
   and take the left (East) path, then continue South to another crossroad.
   The left (North) path leads to a fallen tree which tilts under your 
   weight allowing you to go back to the first section, but it's not
   too useful, is it? Take the right (South) path then. Just before the
   jump, you can turn to the West and jump down to a platform containing
   a chest with a Signal rod for Ellie. From here, you have no choice
   but to jump down and continue NE up to the first crossroad of the
   section. Like before, go East, then South, but this time jump across
   the gap. You'll find a Memory Cube and a chest containing a Survival
   Tent. After that, continue through the stone bridge to trigger a fight.
   
   Battle : 
   フォレストエルフ (Forest Elf) x2, ビーニック (Beanick) x2

   Just the same as a regular battle, but it is always triggered when 
   crossing the bridge (or jumping over the gap). Also, you can't run 
   from this one.

   Right after the fight, there will be another scene with some anime,
   then Ellie will leave the party and she will be attacked by the Rancor
   (Star Wars, anyone?). However, if you didn't get the Signal Rod before,
   you can (quite unpolitely) hop to the ledge North of the one you're
   standing on to get it (uh, it's for her, so I guess she won't get
   mad at you ^_^;). However, this way you won't get to use it until much 
   later (since Ellie's no longer in your party). You can get the Rod even
   later if you want to be a gentleman, though. You can also save in the 
   Memory Cube if you want. Go SW after that to face the Rancor.

   Boss: 
   地竜ランカー (Earth Dragon Rancor)
     HP 99999, Exp 348, GP 0. Leaves Scale.
     Gear-sized. Tyrannosaur-like. 

   There's no way you can win this battle on foot (not without an Action
   Replay, anyway), so just select "defend" for a while until Shitan 
   arrives in the Land Crab with the Weltall.

   Boss: 
   地竜ランカー (Earth Dragon Rancor)
     HP 480, Exp 348, GP 0. Leaves Scale.
     Gear-sized. Tyrannosaur-like. 

   When inside the Weltall, alternate between Circle attacks to charge
   your Attack Level (you have plenty of fuel and the Rankor's evade 
   rate is quite low), and Square, Square Skills to use it. Remember 
   than the single attacks will charge your Attack Level even if they miss. 
   Circle attacks inflict around 70 damage and S,S Skills around 140.
   The Rancor will use an attack which causes "Slow" but there's not 
   much you can do about it. Anyway, he should be out in about eight 
   rounds.

   After then, there'll be a scene. Ellie will leave, and Shitan
   will join. Finally, you'll leave the Forest of the Back Moon.
   Shitan's initial equipment: Swordman Clothing, Glasses, Step Shoes. 


                      W o r l d   M a p 

   In the grassy area right after the forest, you can find:

   ココボルドー (Kokoboldor)
     HP 35, Exp 3, G 0. Leaves Swordman Hat.
     Character-sized. Kobold (goblin-alike) with a bow.
   つちのこ (Tsuchinoko) (type 2)

   In the desert, there are:

   スナハミ (Sunahami)
     HP 111, Exp 121, G 0. 
     Character-sized. Fish-like green creature.
   サンドマン (Sandman)
     HP 50, Exp 60, G 75. 
     Character-sized. Looks like a Tusken Raider in a raincoat ^_^;

   You can enter the desert town of Dajir (by its North or its West gate),
   or wander off into the deep desert, which will reveal a field screen 
   with enemies (Sunahamis and Sandmen) that loops indefinitelly. So 
   go to Dajir.


                              D a j i r

   Items in this area: None

   I'm assuming you're entering the town by its North gate; if that's 
   not the case, the order of the buildings will be reversed.

   In a stall (improvised with wheels ^_^;) you can buy the following:

   Character Equipment:
   Magical Rod              50
   Signal Rod              100
   Leather Whip             60
   Warrior Clothing         50
   Swordman Clothing        80
   Warrior Hat              30
   Swordman Hat             40
   Power Ring              200
   Stamina Ring            150

   Just opposite of that, there's a building which you must enter. Talk
   to the man behind the counter and he'll talk you about his sandbuggy
   (you need to do this).
   Further into the town, there's another stall in the street surrounded 
   by people, which sells:
   
   Character Items:
   AquaSol                  20
   RoseSol                 100
   KelvarSol                10
   GeistSol                 20
   Survival Tent           150

   Get as many AquaSol as you think you'll need. RoseSol aren't that useful 
   since Ethers play a quite secondary role in XenoGears. Also, it's a good
   idea to get some KelvarSol and GeistSol: they recover status ailments.

   One of the many buildings in the town contains a Memory Cube. In another
   one (the inn, cost 10 G), you will meet Big Joe. 

   Finally, enter the large building with the cross-like signs (which 
   you'll get to see quite a bit). You'll be told why you can't get the 
   parts you need.

   Once you've done this, go back to the sandbuggy's owner's house. The
   buggy will be outside it and there'll be a scene. Now enter the house
   and talk to the owner again. He'll lend it to Shitan, who will leave your
   party. Now leave Dajir and enter the Western part of the desert.


                           D e s e r t

   Items in this area: None
   Enemies in this area: 
   スナハミ (Sunahami)
   サンドマン (Sandman)

   You'll spot two Ave Gears as you enter. Continue straight until you 
   reach the end of the screen. Another scene will follow. Then, you'll 
   have to cross two more screens.
   After than, Fei will borrow a bike from an Ave soldier and use it to
   cross the desert (boo! I was expecting a mini-game here...) until
   he's surrounded by Ave Gears. Shitan will come to the rescue in the 
   Weltall, at which point he'll as usual leave the honors to you.

   Battle: 
   トルーパー (Trooper) x2
     HP 180, Exp 180 (each), G 250 (each)
     Gear-sized. One-eyed desert Gear.

   Easy. Take one down with two circle attacks, then the other with any 
   Skill you like.
   At this point, Graf will appear and after some talk, he'll summon 
   a giant worm-like creature.

   Boss: 
   ミミー (Mimmy)
     HP 200, Exp 1044, G 0. Leaves Eyeball
     Gear-sized. Worm-like three-jawed monster.

   Mimmy will drain your fuel quite fast, so it would be a good idea 
   to activate Booster (since the amount of fuel you'll lose will be less 
   than the one you save because of attacking faster).
   You can only hurt it with Finger Bullet or with the second hit of a 
   string. The former inflicts around 60 damage, so it's your best option.
   The S,T (Martial Arts Violent Gale) Skill causes 80 damage and you'll 
   most likely have learnt it by now, so it's not bad either but keep in mind
   that you will lose one out of each two rounds charging your attack level.
   BTW, use Square attacks to do so: all of them will inflict 0 damage and
   Square cost less fuel (which is critical in this battle). If you don't
   have that Skill, S,S (Martial Arts Lighning Attack) inflicts around 40
   damage. 

   After that, you'll be surrounded by Gears again, and this time you'll 
   have to surrender. You'll find yourself in a SandCrawler afterwards.
   Save your game in the Memory Cube. Talk to Shitan twice and the second
   time choose the first option to see some scenes.


                      S a n d C r a w l e r
                     m i d d l e   f l o o r

   Items in this area: Survival Tent, RoseSol

   Once the scenes are over, you'll find yourself in the same cell you
   were in. The door is open, but the SandCrawler is sinking into the 
   desert and sand is starting to fill the floor! The sand level rises
   continuously, so you better be fast. If it ever covers above your head,
   you'll have to restart from the cell again (though you'll keep the items
   you got before "drowning"). I'm not sure if doing so affects the game 
   or not, but I don't think so.

   Once you exit the cell from the North, you can head to the East or to
   the West. Since I assume you want to get all items, here's what you 
   have to do: Go to the East, then South into a small room and open the
   chest containing a Survival Tent. If you continue to the East, you'll 
   reach a ladder leading directly to the upper floor (unless you are too 
   late and sand is already spilling from it), but you don't want to, 
   because that way you'd miss the items in the lower floor. So go back 
   to the West and enter the first door to the South after the cell's. 
   Get the RoseSol and exit the room. Now keep going West until you come 
   across a ladder going down to the lower floor. If you want, you can
   push the switch on the door to shut it and prevent the sand from entering 
   the room (it won't matter once you go down the ladder, though).
   

                      S a n d C r a w l e r
                      l o w e r   f l o o r

   Items in this area: Armor +1, Leather Jacket
   Enemies in this area:   
   アヴェ二等兵 (Second Class Soldier of Ave)
     HP 60, Exp 75, G 35. Leaves AquaSol, RoseSol
     Character-sized. Soldier with brown helmet and aviation glasses on.
   アヴェ一等兵 (First Class Soldier of Ave)
     HP 60, Exp 75, G 40. Leaves Leather Hat
     Character-sized. Bigger soldier with white helmet and aviation
     glasses on his head.

   Head East, then climb the ladder to the North (as time goes on, a hole 
   will open in the floor below it, but you can still reach the ladder by 
   jumping from its side). Go all the way to the North, then West to get 
   an Armor +1 (Gear equipment). Go all the way back to the East and 
   South, then go up the staircase leading South. Cross the walkway and 
   get the chest containing a Leather Jacket. Note that if you take too 
   long, some of the planks in the walkway will fall and you'll have to 
   jump over them. It is still possible to get the Leather Jacket: jump as 
   far as you can and press Circle as you touch the chest in mid-air 
   (you'll fall through the hole, so go back South, up the stair, West 
   and North). Anyway, follow the walkway to the East and up the ladder
   to the upper floor.


                      S a n d C r a w l e r

   Enemies in this area:

   アヴェ一等兵 (First Class Soldier of Ave)

   Phew! There are no hurries now. Save in the Memory Cube. Go North, West,
   then South. As far as I know, there is no way to climb the crates.


                      S a n d C r a w l e r

   Items in this area: None

   Go South through the crane. Don't worry about falling off, Fei will 
   pull himself up again. If you take too long to cross the crane, you'll 
   have to start from the cell again. If that happens, remember you keep 
   all the items you got before that, so go East when you exit the cell to 
   go directly to the upper floor. But remember to reach the ladder before 
   sand begins to spill from it.
   The crane is composed by two bars, between which you have to switch 
   because they're blocked at different points. Start on the Eastern one, 
   then switch each time you can while going South.
   When you get to the other side of the crane, Fei'll get into the Weltall,
   and Bart will attack him in the Brigander.

   Boss: 
   ブリガンディア (Brigander)
     HP 800, Exp 0, GP 0
     Gear-sized. Red Gear with whips attached.

   As usual, turn on the booster the first round. He will use Wild Smile, 
   which lowers your Accuracy and Evade. Therefore, don't use any Circle
   attacks, as he'll evade them most of the times. Finger Bullet causes 
   around 150 damage. You're probably better off with S,T strings, though; 
   they will hit most of the times and cause around 250 damage (each 2 
   rounds, remember). Anyway, not very hard.

   After the fight, you'll both sink into a cave below the sand.


               U n d e r g r o u n d   C a v e

   Items in this area: Gold Lump, Iron WG
   Enemies in this area:   
   サンドマン (Sandman)   
   武力ロボ (Military Power Robo)
     HP 138, Exp 680, G 210. Leaves Armor, Armor +1
     Gear-sized. Blocky, construction type-looking Gear with a crane arm.
   流しの修理ロボ (Sink Repair Robo)
     HP 110, Exp 420, G 200
     Gear-sized. Grayish-green repairs Gear with pincers.
   クラーゲン (Kragen)
     HP 65, Exp 698, G 0
     Gear-sized. Jellyfish-looking creature. 
   メイフレイ (May Fly)
     HP 555, Exp 1410, G 690. Leaves Armor +1
     Gear-sized. Strange cross between a huge fly and a gear. Takes little
     or no damage from any attacks except second hits of Gear Skills.

   Bart has joined you at this point. Besides, you get to control your Gears
   for the first time.
   Bart's initial equipment: Leather Whip, Red Mail, Power Ring, Stamina Ring.
   Weltall's initial equipment: Armor, Armor, Ancient Circuit. 
     Engine : G4.1200. Frame: WELT018. Armor: MS Iron Plate #3.
   Brigander's initial equpment: Leather Whip Gear, Armor +1, Air
     Conditioning, Lens Shield. Engine : G4.1200. Frame: BRIG019.
     Armor: MS Iron Plate #3.

   Save, then head straight to the South. Press Circle at the rock blocking
   your way to push it. After the scene, head straight South again to get 
   the Gold Lump (it will be useful MUCH later on, almost at the end of the
   game. Thanks to Tatsushi Nakao for the info). After that, go West and 
   cross the entrance.

   Go SW until the end of the long passageway (as if you had any other 
   option). In the new section, cross the bridge and ignore the green
   Gear standing there. Go West, then North, and jump up the platforms (the 
   one with nothing on it, the one with the black and red machine, then the 
   one with a chest) to get an Iron Whip Gear for the Heimdall. Jump down 
   and go back South and East, then SW after the Green Gear to get to 
   a new section.

   Jump up the platforms. Go SW and save at the Memory Cube. Then get off
   your gears and enter the small cave entrance. 

   After the dialogue, talk to Belthasar (Bal) for more speaking. Then, 
   you can talk to him again and choose the third option to buy things 
   from him. After selecting this, the first option is to buy Gear stuff, 
   and the second is character stuff.

   Gear Engine:
   G6.1200                1200

   Gear Frame:
   WELT021                 400
   WELT025                 800
   HEIM032                1800
   BRIG022                 500
   BRIG027                 900

   Gear Armor:
   MS Steel Plate #6       500

   Gear Weapons:
   None

   Gear Parts:
   Armor +1                 50

   Character Items:
   AquaSol                  20
   RoseSol                 100
   OmegaSol                 50
   Survival Tent           150

   Yuo should upgrade both Gears' Engine, Frame and Armor; though it's going 
   to cost almost all the money you have, it will be worth it. As in every 
   other place in which you can buy Gear stuff, you can also replenish 
   your Gears' HP and Fuel (for a price) here. Generally speaking, you 
   should always do so, but not before you've upgraded your frames and 
   engines, since they can hold more HP and fuel. In this case the engine 
   holds the same amount of fuel, though. Replace all the Armor parts you 
   have equipped by Armor +1. Also, if you haven't done so already, this 
   would be a good time to stock up in OmegaSol.

   After you're done, exit Bal's place and get into your Gears again. You 
   have to find two sensors now. Actually, you have already come across one 
   of them; it was the machine near the chest which had an Iron Whip Gear. 
   So go back NE, North, then NW, jump up the platforms again and press 
   Circle at the sensor to deactivate it. Head back to the section Bal's
   house was in, and this time go all the way up the platforms and to the 
   North until you find a way out of the current section to the NE.

   In the following section, you'll be in a stone bridge over the place 
   with the green Gear and the first sensor, so be sure not to fall off.
   After this, you'll be in a long passageway to the North, so you know 
   what you have to do.

   After that, go to the North and you'll find a bridge to the West. NOW
   you want to be careful. Remember the section that's below you right
   now? That's right, it's the very beginning of the entire dungeon!
   Go through the bridge, deactivate the sensor, then go back to Bal's 
   house. Talk to Bal and the gate will open. After the scene, you'll 
   be outside Bal's house; you can still go back and buy from him, though.

   Go South through the huge gate. In the new section, go South, then get 
   out of your Gears and enter the Gondola to the East. Turn the red switch 
   on (select the first option when prompted) and go back to your Gears.
   Now go to the elevator to the West and activate it. Head to the South,  
   down the steps then up again, save at the Memory Cube, then take the
   elevator down. 
 
   In the next room you'll see Calamity flying around. You can walk 
   through the cave a bit before it attacks you, but there's not much you 
   can do.

   Boss: 
   カラミティ (Calamity)
     HP 2500, Exp 0, G 0
     Gear-sized. Huge, bulky Gear with twin engines at its back.

   Put on Booster as soon as you start. Finger Bullet does 0 damage, so 
   don't bother. Use Skills instead: Fei's S,T and Bart's S,S (unless you
   made Bart fight outside the Brigander, in which case he could have learnt
   S,T, but it's not worth the pain). His evade rate is almost nil (he does
   block sometimes, though), so you can abuse Circle attacks: they only do
   around 70 damage, however. Bart's S,S does around 180, and Fei's S,T
   around 200.
   Calamity's punches do about 140 damage, and throwing arms around 200, 
   but since you can't heal your HP yet, they're not to be taken lightly. 
   Bad news is that he has a spread missile attack that hits for 450 damage 
   or so, but he doesn't do it often. Furthermore, he's quite slow, so with
   Booster on, you should be able to get in two actions per character for 
   each one of his. All in all, it shouldn't be too difficult.

   There'll be a sequence then, with Calamity coming back to life and Fei
   defeating it with an Infinite Level Skill (no, you don't get now! :P).
   After that, go East and take the round path which leads to the side of the
   broken road. Jump on the platform, then onto the road and head South to
   exit the cave. The next scene will leave you on the Yggdrasil, Bart's 
   sand ship.


                        Y g g d r a s i l

   The Yggdrasil is quite big, and you'll be walking through it quite a 
   lot, so get used to it as soon as possible. Check the map of it in the
   Maps section (it's hard to miss, it's the only map I've done ^_^).

   The floor you're in is the lowest one, the hangar for Gears. Gears
   are stored in stands like the one Weltall is now in. You can approach 
   these places and talk to the person in them to look at them (first and
   second options: look at the Gear's back or front) or ask them for
   information about the Gear (third option). Talk to the person to the 
   South to rename it (only Katakana and Hiragana, though).
   There's also a Gear shop in this floor; it's the building at the East. 
   It is quite important that you remember this, because it updates its stuff
   quite frequently and most of the time it has the most advanced equipment
   available where you are. Right now they have:

   Gear Engine:
   Z9.1500                1800

   Gear Frame:
   WELT030                1400

   Gear Armor:
   MS Steel Plate #9      1500

   Gear Weapons:
   Iron WG                1600
   Snapper WG             2000

   Gear Parts:
   Reaction Circuit       2500
   Defense Circuit        2500
   C Circuit               250
   Magnet Coat            4000
   Lens Shield            2500
   Engine Guard           5000
   Tank Block             3000
   Repair Coat            4000
   Gear Block             4000

   By now you should have enough money to get all the upgrades. I wouldn't
   reccomend getting any of the parts though: none of them are too useful.
   Exit the hangar, then go straight North and enter the door to meet Meison
   again. Here you can buy items and character equipment, but sadly, he 
   does not update his stuff.

   Character Items:
   AquaSol                  20
   AquaSol S               100
   RoseSol                 100
   RoseSol S               300
   ZetaSol                 100
   KelvarSol                10
   GeistSol                 20
   White Star              500
   Brown Star              500
   Red Star                500
   Blue Star               500
   Hard Star               800
   Speed Star             1000
   OmegaSol                 50
   Survival Tent           150
 
   Character Accesories:
   Power Ring              200
   Stamina Ring            150
   Speed Ring             1200
   Guard Ring             2000

   I'd reccomend you get some ZetaSol: they're the equivalent of Phoenix 
   Tails (recover from 0 HP condition). However, since in XG such characters
   are recovered with 1 HP at the end of the battle, these items aren't as
   important as in FF games. Nevertheless, it's a good idea to keep some 
   handy for hard boss battles. You should get some AquaSol S too. The rest 
   of the items are a bit too expensive to justify their purchase for now.

   Regarding accesories, I specially like Speed Rings, and they're not that
   expensive either. According to Tatsushi Nakao, they also work when you're
   on your Gears!

   You can explore the Yggdrasil and become familiar with it (again, use the
   map). There are some things you can't do yet, though (like changing party
   members... it will be quite some time until you can). When you're done, go
   to the bridge and talk to Sigurd.




           E n d   o f   R e w r i t e



 - Once you've arrived at your new destination, Maison will talk to you
   in the common area.  Afterwards, you can visit a shop on the lower
   floor.  There's also a door in the previous room that leads to an
   area with a Memory Cube (you can spend the night here, too).  In
   another room is an Iron Whip for Bart.  You can find Shitan and
   Bart in the electronics room.

 - Once you're in control of Fei again, you might as well check out the
   Gears.  Go down the first elevator, then the second one.  One of
   the Gears down here is 'Heimdall', which you don't get to use quite
   yet :)  Go back up and get onto the sand cruiser--Bart will pop out
   of the entrance.  You can go into the cruiser if you want, but
   there's not much to do there (Bans, the living sound test, will still
   be in the bridge.  If you want to listen to more of the dolphin's (?)
   sound collections, go talk to him).

 - Return to the upper level (the area with all the rooms) and look
   around.  There's a passage that leads outside.  Back on the World
   Map, head out into the desert to find Ave.

QUICK GEAR RIDE  ________________________________________________________
by Jego Herve  

While in the world map or any area in which you can go around in your 
gears, you can press L2+R2 to get into / out of your gears instantly.
This might not seem like much, but believe me, not having to go to the 
menu screen saves a lot of time.


YGGDRASIL'S REVERSE GEAR  _______________________________________________
by Ignacio de Lucas  

I discovered this around revision 0.2, but I kept forgetting to put it
until now ^_^; While flying around in the Yggdrasil, you can hold R2,
then press the action button (Circle) to fly backwards. Quite useful for
those accurate landings.


THE SANDMAN DESERT  _____________________________________________________
by Tatsushi Nakao  

Right at the end of the game, there's a desert in an island in the world
map that can be entered: it is the Sandman's Desert. Upon arriving there
some Sandmen will appear and tell you to go home (in English! ^_^;), at
which point you'll be asked if you want to leave or not. Assuming you
don't (second choice), you'll have to fight them, but when you beat them
there'll apparently be just an endless, looping desert. Well, here's what
you have to do. Go four screens to the East, then two to the North, and
you'll find some Sunahami's jumping towards the West. Follow them, and 
you'll appear in a screen with sand currents leading to the sand cascade.
Just try to stay in the rocks and move quickly to grab the chests (I've 
not had time to get both yet, but the easiest one has one of the best 
armors in the game). Once you drop from the upper part of the screen,
you'll have to fight Mimmy, one of the first bosses in the game... but
this time you're outside your Gears! Anyway, it's not hard. From there
on, though, Mimmys will appear as regular enemies in the desert. Also,
the screen you drop to isn't the starting point but the screen East to 
that, so if you want to repeat it to get the other chest, you only have 
to go three screens East before going North.


IN-GAME MUSIC TEST  _____________________________________________________
by Tatsushi Nakao  

Apart from the music test in Shepad, which lets you listen only to some
themes, there's another one close to the end of the game. If you go
to Kisreb's Battling, which is still operative, you can choose to fight
agains other Gears for Battle Points. The Battling will be explained
in a later version of the FAQ, but you can use David Johnson's walkthough
for details about it.
Anyway, one of the items you can exchange for battle points is a M Disc,
which lets you hear most of the game's music in the jukebox in the same
Battling. I've listed the tunes along with the Action Replay number
corresponding to them.
BTW, you can use my Infinite Battle Points Action Replay code to get
the M Disc easily. Unfortunatelly, it seems that using the AR to get
the disc itself won't work, though.

I've marked some of my faves with ***** (as if anyone would care...).

GAME SHARK CODES  _______________________________________________________


Please don't reprint these codes without attributing them to their
proper authors/creators.
Also, please don't ask me how to use any of these codes. I've put 
them as clearly as I've been able (not that much, I know). If you
really feel there's something that could and should be better 
explained, mail me and I'll try my best to explain it in the next 
revision of the FAQ.

ITEM SELECT                                               8006ECEA - xxyy
by Kao Megura
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

This code has a tendency to crash the game.  In order for it to work,
turn the switch off after entering the PAR menu.  Select this code,
flip up the switch when it tells you to, then put it back down when you
see the 'Thank You' message.  Don't turn it back on until you're in the
Item menu.  Remember that you have to move an item around the menu to
get the 'selected' ones to appear.  You'll need to turn this code off
before exiting the Main Menu.

Most of the times you'll be using this code to just get a Debug Item and
Debug Waza: these items give you almost all items and techniques in the
game! (and even some that aren't in there). BTW, using the Debug Item
generates Debug Waza, so you don't even need that one. But it won't give
any of the Event Items.

The Debug Waza will also put all characters in the "global party", just
as if the "party select" code had been used with 07FF (see below). This
is bad, however: it will cause the game to freeze when shopping, since
it will try to display the faces of all characters on the shopping screen.
So correct it with a Party Select code.

The Debug Item and Debug Waza have the numbers 21 and 22.


xx = Item in first slot, right side.
yy = Item in first slot, left side.

Replace xx or yy with:

Items usable during battle

00 =         01 = Aqua Sol             02 = Aqua Sol S

This code has a tendency to crash the game.  In order for it to work,
turn the switch off after entering the PAR menu.  Select this code,
flip up the switch when it tells you to, then put it back down when you
see the 'Thank You' message.  Don't turn it back on until you're in the
Item menu.  Remember that you have to equip an item in the third slot
already in order to get the 'selected' one to show up.  You'll need to
turn this code off before exiting the Main Menu.

Items between < > are ones that can only be obtained with an Action 
Replay (i.e. they're not in the game). There may be more than the ones 
I've marked, or even some of the ones I've marked might be real ones 
(not likely, though). I'll try to correct these as I write the walkthrough.

xx = With an item in the third slot, replace xx and then try to equip
     that item to equip the accessory you chose using the code.

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

Enter or exit a room for the selected music to start playing. 

As promised, here's the music list. No need to mention I made all
the names myself (I don't own the BGM, though it's not because I don't
want to -_-). Worse yet, I tried to match each music with its use in
the game, and given my musical ineptitude these will most likely be
wrong. But here they are anyway.

OK, I marked some more tunes. I know nobody will pay any attention to
these, but hey, what's one's own FAQ for? Anyhow, it's hard to
select some: this game has one of the best soundtracks I've listened
to.

And now that we are into useless info about the writer's tastes,
I rather liked more the Overworld theme in the demo disc! It had a
calm, soft atmosphere which is partly spoiled in the complete game
because they added more instruments. OK, I'm shutting up now...

INFINITE MONEY                                             8006E5E8  C9FF
by Ignacio de Lucas                    8006E5EA  3B9A
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Someone asked me why I hadn't made this code. There are two reasons:
I could say that I don't usually use AR codes to make the game easier,
preferring instead the ones that have interesting effects. But the
main reason is that I forgot ^_^;

FAST LEVEL UP - FEI                                        8006CF74  0001
by Ignacio de Lucas                    8006CF76  0000  
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

I think this one made you gain a level each battle. I haven't made any
more of these (just Fei's) or tested it further because of the above
reason of making the game easier.

FEI ALWAYS RUNS                                            80059798  0040
by Ignacio de Lucas  
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Useful for lazy players (like me! ^_^;) who don't want to even hold X
to run around. The code doesn't have any side effect either (i.e. the 
X button works just fine).

CHARACTER POSITION IN THE WORLD MAP                        800D3816  xxxx

This allows you to teleport to any location of the world map. I made it
at the beginning of the game, but I have tried it later and doesn't seem 
to work. I will correcting this soon, but for the moment, I think this
should work early in the game, but only when you are in your Gear 
(otherwise it teleports your Gear :) ).

SAVE ANYWHERE                                              800B1840  0001
by Ignacio de Lucas  
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Inspired by the code of the same name someone made for FF7 (I later made
that same for the US version of FF7). Like it says, the game always 
consider you to be on a save point. The most amazing bit about this code
is that it actually works, that is, you can load the saved game and you
will appear where you saved. It will mess up in some places, however:
one of them being the Babel Tower. So I'd reccomend you always keep at
least one "traditional" save game (i.e. don't overwrite it using this 
code).

I've also had some problems with this code, specifically being unable
to boot the game with it active. Until I check it some more, I'd reccomend
you turned off the Action Replay as soon as you enter the code, and turned
it on only when saving.

PARTY SELECT                                               8006E9F4  0xyz
by Ignacio de Lucas  
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

One of my favorite codes, it allows you to freely configurate the members
of your "global" party, i.e. the members in your current party and those 
in the reserve. You can then change party members normally as often as 
you want.
Keep in mind that there are only 9 members slots at any time (three in
your current party and six in the reserve) and there are 11 characters,
so if you choose all of them, Shitan with Katana and adult Emeralda will
not show up.

In other words, you must sacrifice two characters. During a normal game, 
these are obviously regular Shitan when he gets a Katana, and young 
Emeralda when she grows up. I sort of liked ol' good Shitan though
(more than Chu Chu anyway ^_^;), so I'd stick him in. Same goes for
young Emeralda.

NOTE: If you choose all characters, the game will slow down to a halt
whenever you enter a shop's menu, as the game will try to display all
characters' faces at once. So again, don't choose them all. Note also
that the Debug Waza item will configure your party as having all characters,
so this problem will also arise. Fortunatelly, you can use this code
(party select) to select a 9-character party (or less, if you want).

The way of calculating the number that you have to put instead of the xyz
can be tricky if you don't know Hexadecimal / Binary. I'll try to make it
simple though.

The x controls whether Maria, Shitan with Katana and adult Emeralda 
are in your global party.


            Maria   Shitan  Emeralda 
         0  No      No      No
         1  Yes     No      No
         2  No      Yes     No
         3  Yes     Yes     No
         4  No      No      Yes
         5  Yes     No      Yes
         6  No      Yes     Yes
         7  Yes     Yes     Yes

You might want to sacrifice Maria (6) for getting both Shitans or 
Emeraldas. Else, you'd put 7 to have them all.


The y controls whether Billy, Rico, young Emeralda and Chu Chu are in 
your global party.
         
         
            Billy   Rico    Emeralda Chu Chu
         0  No      No      No       No
         1  Yes     No      No       No
         2  No      Yes     No       No
         3  Yes     Yes     No       No
         4  No      No      Yes      No
         5  Yes     No      Yes      No
         6  No      Yes     Yes      No
         7  Yes     Yes     Yes      No
         8  No      No      No       Yes
         9  Yes     No      No       Yes
         A  No      Yes     No       Yes
         B  Yes     Yes     No       Yes
         C  No      No      Yes      Yes
         D  Yes     No      Yes      Yes
         E  No      Yes     Yes      Yes
         F  Yes     Yes     Yes      Yes

Tipically you'd want to stick Rico and Billy in your global party. 
You might want to sacrifice Chu Chu (7) to add space for the two 
Shitans or the Two Emeraldas, or you might want to remove young 
Emeralda (B) to have only the old one (but you can have both if you 
want). Or you might want to do them both (3), going for both Shitans.


The z controls whether Fei, Ellie, Shitan and Bart are in your global
party.

            Fei     Ellie   Shitan  Bart
         0  No      No      No      No
         1  Yes     No      No      No
         2  No      Yes     No      No
         3  Yes     Yes     No      No
         4  No      No      Yes     No
         5  Yes     No      Yes     No
         6  No      Yes     Yes     No
         7  Yes     Yes     Yes     No
         8  No      No      No      Yes
         9  Yes     No      No      Yes
         A  No      Yes     No      Yes
         B  Yes     Yes     No      Yes
         C  No      No      Yes     Yes
         D  Yes     No      Yes     Yes
         E  No      Yes     Yes     Yes
         F  Yes     Yes     Yes     Yes

Most of the times you'll want to put this as F to have all four of 
them, unless you want to have Shitan with Katana and just that one
(remember you can have both), in which case you'd put B to remove 
regular Shitan.




Some interesting parties are:

07BB : All characters, Shitan with Katana only, adult Emeralda only.
067F : Both Shitans, both Emeraldas, but without Maria nor Chu Chu.
07FF : All characters, bar none, although Shitan with Katana and grown
       Emeralda won't show up in the character change screen. DON'T
       USE THIS, for the above reason about the shops. BTW, this
       is the resulting party after using the Debug Waza item (see 
       above).

CHARACTER SELECT                                           3006E9F8  00xx
by Ignacio de Lucas                    3006E9F9  00yy
                                                           3006E9FA  00zz
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Actually, the only reason now to use this code, is to change characters
when you still can't change characters (early on the game). You will
therefore always use this code in conjunction with the former one,
since when you can't change characters is when you have only three
or less in your global party, so you wouldn't be able to select anyone
anyway. So you'd use the "Party Select" to put the character you want
in your global party, then the "Character Select" to put it into your
current party. Clear enough? I hope so, becuase that's as clearly as I
can put it.

Beware when selecting a character that you haven't already obtained 
normally, as most of the times they won't be equipped with a Gear, 
or even be equipped, as in adult Emeralda's case, with the Yggdra4,
which tends to crash the game. For these, remember to use a "Gear 
select" code (which, of course, I kindly provide :) ).

In these, xx is the first character, yy the second, and zz the 
third. If you are using a Comms Kit to activate these, remember you 
can't enter codes starting with 30 with it; instead, use: 

8006E9F8  yyxx 
8006E9FA  00zz

The character numbers are:

00 - Fei
01 - Ellie
02 - Shitan
03 - Bart
04 - Billy
05 - Rico
06 - Young Emeralda
07 - Chu Chu
08 - Maria
09 - Katana-wielding Shitan 
0A - Adult Emeralda

Well, I made this code mainly for being able to make the skill lists 
without the enemies dying all around, but maybe someone might find 
this useful.

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

Silly me, I forgot that the above code could be as well used to put the
enemies down to 1 HP. And THAT would be useful ^_^;

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

Like it says. Beware that this causes EXTREMELLY weird things to 
happen when inside your Gear: namely, you will use your character's 
Skills instead of the Gear's!  It will use the animations for your
Gear's attacks but it looks really cool! The "beware" part is that it 
tends to crash the game.

INFINITE HP / EP
by Ignacio de Lucas  
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

For each character, there are four codes listed. They are HP, Max HP, 
EP and Max EP. One note though: some of these will not work, specially 
for the later characters. It seems that they're not always equally 
distanced, and I've not bothered to try them all. Most should work, 
though.

Gears marked with (crash) tend to crash the game (surprise). They
can still be used in battle and they won't crash much (well the 
Yggdra4 does a bit ^_^;), but they will definitelly crash if their
graphic is to be displayed in the map. I.e. don't enter or exit any 
location with any of them active (I'm afraid exiting from a battle 
counts as well, though).


-------------------------------------------------------------------------
HAVE ALL ABILITIES
by Ignacio de Lucas  
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Nice, huh? Each single code gives all abilities of a certain type for 
a character. These are: Skills, Ethers, Gear Skills, Gear Ethers, and 
Gear Options. 
These codes will also give you tons of non-existing abilities though,
which can make anything from crash the game to nothing at all. To make 
sure one of these exists, just check it in the official lists. 
Keep in mind that the Debug Waza doesn't give you all abilities (for 
example, Fei's "Hell Fire" Gear option). If you don't get all Gear
skills, use these codes (the third one of each group).

Skill Menu   = This screen shows you all the skills you can learn at the
               moment.  If you've learned a skill, the Ability Points
               (AP) required are shown along with the button command.
               (For instance, Fei's Mugisenretsu costs 5 AP and is
               inputted as O,O,S).

               The numbers and bars tell you how close you are to learning
               a new skill (?)

Ability Menu = See 'Main Menu: Ability'
Equip Menu   = See 'Main Menu: Equip'


MAIN MENU - EQUIP  ______________________________________________________

The box in the upper left shows this:

武器                            Weapon  (currently equipped)
アクセサリー                    Accessory  (currently worn)

Accessories include armor (hats, clothing), and items similar to those
found in FF7 (Stamina Ring, Glasses, etc.)

The box in the upper right shows what unequipped items can be worn.

The box in the lower right shows the same stats from the 'Status'
screen.  When you equip an item, the positive (red) or negative (blue)
impact on certain stats. is displayed.


MAIN MENU - ITEM  _______________________________________________________

The main box shows all the items you've accquired so far.  Items that
are highlighted can be used currently; items in dark lettering cannot
be used at the moment.  The lower box will give you a description of
the item, as well as tell you what type of item it is.

You can sort items by pressing O over an item once, finding a place,
and pressing O.  In the case of highlight another item, the two will
switch place.  To use an item, double-select that item with O and then
choose the applicable character(s).


MAIN MENU - ABILITY  ____________________________________________________

The main box shows all learned abilities, and how many Ether Points (EP)
are required to use that ability.  The box in the lower left gives a
brief description of that ability, and the box to the lower right tells
you what type of ability it is.  Finally, a small box below that shows
you your current / maximum EP count.


MAIN MENU - GEAR  _______________________________________________________

This menu isn't available unless you have a Gear and are using it outside
of a battle.

The menu is similar to the Status screen, but with some differences:

FL = Current amount of Gear fuel / Maximum amount of fuel



Japanese            Translation        Determines
体重                Total Weight       Affects Agility
攻撃力              Attack Power       Damage inflicted with physical attacks
装甲値              Armor              Damage received from physical attacks
エーテル装甲        Ether Armor        Damage received from Ether attacks

素早さ              Agility            Time between turns
エーテル機関        Ether Engine       Damage inflicted with Ether attacks



The 'Weapon' and 'Accessory' sections on this screen apply to your Gear,
not you :)  As for the other options:

Get ON/OFF  = Choose if you want to walk or ride in your Gear.
Gear Option = Devices that can be used by your gear. They cost fuel.
Ability     = These are Abilities that you can use while in your Gear 
              They also cost EP.  
Equip       = For equipping weapons and accessories on your Gear.


MAIN MENU - FILE  _______________________________________________________

When selected, this screen loads up all the files on your Memory Card(s),
including the little animated pictures.  Nice.

If you're standing near a Memory Cube or are on the Field, you can choose
to save your game.  Otherwise, your only option are to copy an existing
file or delete a file.  Note that you can copy and delete non-Xenogears
files as well :)


MAIN MENU - EXIT  _______________________________________________________

As opposed to pressing X, you can also choose this option to exit the
Main Menu.

   S L E E P I N G   A N D   S H O P P I N G
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Inns are numerous and spread throughout the world.  To spend the night,
go into an inn and talk to the people there until one of them (usually
behind a desk, says something like this:

一泊10Gだけど。泊まっていくかい?

Choose 'Hai' (Yes) or 'Iie' (No, dammit!)

If you don't have enough money, you can't spend the night.  Sleeping
restores all lost HP and EP.

Like inns, shops can be found everywhere.  Sometimes, you can buy things
from just people standing around instead of people inside buildings.
When the shopping menu pops up, you'll see a list of items for sale and
the amount of gold they cost will be displayed on the right.  The window
on the top tells you more about the item.  To buy an item, press left or
right while on it to indicate how many of that item you want.  Then
press O to buy it.  A subtraction table on the right will show you how
much gold you have remaining.  When buying an equippable item, portraits
of your characters will be shown, and if that item can be used by that
character, their portrait lights up.  Below that are indicators letting
you know how that item affects your Weapon Power (top) and Defense
Power (bottom).

You can also sell items in shops; just choose items you want to get rid
of and the price offered will be shown.  Not all items are salable.

You can also buy items for your Gear and maintain or upgrade it.  Not
a lot of people can do this for you (Old Man Bal is one of them).  On
that menu:

TUNE UP MENU  ___________________________________________________________

Here, you can improve your Gear's stats:

Fuel   - Restores your lost fuel.  Increases fuel and HP maximum.
Engine - You can purchase a new engine. This affects the gear's attack
          power (first number in the engine's name), as well as the 
          amount of fuel it can carry (second number multiplied by 100).
          Unfortunatelly, more powerful engines use fuel faster when
          using Booster.
Frame  - You can purchase a new frame. The Frame of your Gear affects 
          the amount of HP it has. The HP a frame has can be obtained 
          by multiplying the number in its name by 100.
Armor  - You can purchase new armor (for better defense). If there are
          two numbers in its name, the first is the Armor value and the
          second the Ether Armor value.

BUY MENU  _______________________________________________________________

You can buy Weapons or Accessories (Parts) for your Gear.

SELL MENU  ______________________________________________________________

You can sell Weapons or Accessories (Parts).

Fighting is a requirement in most RPGs, and Xenogears is no exception.
The battle system, once learned, is simple and fun, but until you get the
hang of it, it's a virtual hell.  Each element is explained below:


THE BATTLE SCREEN  (Character Battle)  __________________________________

Shown on the top are the portraits of your characters and their current
and maximum HP.  Below that is shown their Time Bar and amount of
stored Attack Points (AP).

Below that, to the left, is the Combat Command.  It's a ring showing
various commands.  To use a command, highlight it with the directional
key and press O.  Arrows surrounding the ring denote other menus--press
once in that direction to highlight an option, then press in that
direction again to bring up the secondary menu.

Below that is a tall vertical meter.  This is the graphical
representation of your currently usable Attack Points.  When you're
creating your own chain of attacks, a small numerical counter is also
shown to the right of that showing current AP / maximum AP usable at
the moment.  Certain attacks and combinations require more AP than
others (we'll get to all that in a moment).

Finally, your character(s) and the enemy or enemies are shown in the
middle against an appropriate background.  Depending on the location
and progression of the battle, both enemies and characters may move
to different spots on the screen.  When you're selecting a target for
commands and attacks, a red arrow appears that you can direct over
an enemy or friend with the directional key.  If you have multiple
targets, multiple arrows will show, with darkened directions indicating
that you can press in that direction to highlight a new target.


THE BATTLE SCREEN  (Gear Battle)  _______________________________________

This screen is similar to the normal battle screen, with the following
differences:

 - Shown below the Time Gauge is the Fuel Meter.  Fuel is used in lieu
   of AP while in a Gear.  Without Fuel, you cannot perform commands in
   battle.

 - The graphical and numerical representation of AP now represents
   your amount of Fuel.

 - There is a box to the right showing the status of your gear.

 - There's an Attack Level icon available.  You can store attack energy
   by attacking.  After enough atatcks, you'll store one level of energy,
   enabling you to use mroe powerful attacks.


BATTLE COMMANDS  (Character Battle)  ____________________________________

When a battle begins, your Agility pitted against that of your
opponent(s) determines who goes first.  During the battle, your Time
Gauge will fill up, and when it does, it's your turn to make an action.

Here's a description of the Combat Command ring:

(Main Ring)

         気功
        SKILLS

 防御            攻撃
DEFEND          ATTACK

       アイテム
         ITEM

SKILLS - Use a learned Skill.
DEFEND - Take no action that round, but any attack subsequently made
         against you inflicts less damage.
ATTACK - Create an attack string using AP (see below).
ITEM   - Use an item from your inventory.


(Secondary Ring)

         Gear召喚                  (Note that this command will not
          RIDE GEAR                     appear when you don't have a Gear.)

  逃走                  連殺
RUN AWAY             RAPID SLASH

           アイテム
             ITEM

RIDE GEAR        - If you have a Gear with you and aren't using it,
                   choose this to get into it.
RUN AWAY         - Your character will try to run away from battle.
                   If he's successful, everyone flees.  If not, another
                   character can try in that same round to escape as
                   well.
RAPID SLASH      - You can use an Ability (special attack string)
                   without entering the string, instead using stored
                   AP.
ITEM             - Same purpose as in the Main Ring.

General Notes on Character Battles:

 - Each round in which you attack, all unused APs are stored in a bar 
   below your time bar. Reasons for not using all your APs include
   you cancelling your string, the enemy dying before you end or 
   performing a Skill which uses less AP than your current maximum

   You can store up to 28 AP points total. The more you have, the faster
   your Time Bar charges (a good reason not to waste all your points on
   weak enemies).  Also, you can use the Rapid Slash option to release 
   the stored APs in the form of a string of Skills, each one costing
   as much as the whole string you have to perform normally to use it.
   (even though you are actually performing only the "Circle" ender.

 - Some Ether powers function and look different when you're riding a
   Gear. For one, all "HP recover" Ethers restore Gear defense when
   used inside a Gear (there are quite some enemy attacks that lower
   defense: they will be reflected in the Armor Loss percentage
   indicator).

   The only exception to this rule is Chu Chu's "Forest Dance", which
   recovers not only characters' HPs, but even Gears', making it 
   extremely useful as it is the only way to recover a Gear's HP without
   using Fuel in the whole game.

 - The attack you use in battle affect what skills you learn.  For
   example, early on in the game, using the Square or Circle Attacks
   repeatedly will help you learn Fei's 'Martial Arts Swift Lighning'
   faster.

 - Just because an attack does more damage doesn't mean it's better.
   Some characters that take no damage from a Heavy Attack (Circle),
   will be injured by a meager Light Attack (Square).


BATTLE COMMANDS  (Gear Battle)  _________________________________________

(Main Ring)

        エーテル機関
        ETHER ENGINE

チャージ             攻撃
 CHARGE             ATTACK

          アイテム
            ITEM

ETHER ENGINE - Use one of your skills that can be used while in a Gear.
CHARGE       - This restores some Fuel. The amount of fuel recovered
               varies depending on which attack level you Gear is in.
               
                 Level   Recover
                   1       30
                   2       60
                   3       90
               Infinite   300

               Also, there are accesories that increase your basic fuel
               recover rate, and there's one that removes status
               ailments when using charge.

ATTACK       - Perform an attack.
ITEM         - Use an item from your inventory.


(Secondary Ring)

         特殊装置
     SPECIAL EQUIPMENT

  逃走            ブースター
RUN AWAY           BOOSTER

         アイテム
           ITEM

SPECIAL EQUIPMENT - Some Gears receive special devices during the course 
                    of the game. This uses Fuel.
RUN AWAY          - Your character will try to run away from battle.
                    If he's successful, everyone flees.  If not, another
                    character can try in that same round to escape as
                    well.
BOOSTER           - Wastes fuel like mad, but until you select it again
                    to turn it off, your Time Bar maxes out rapidly.
ITEM              - Use an item from your inventory.

General Notes on Gear Battles:

 - Every time you attack, you gain a level in your Attack Level meter.
   When you have enough stored levels, you can do special attacks by
   entering a button combination (these are basically Skills for Gears).

 - Unlike character skills, if you press a button and can perform a
   Skill off of that button, a diagram showing you the total Fuel Cost
   as well as what button can be pressed to perform that Skill are shown.
   Of course, you can always press X to cancel and just do a normal
   attack.

 - Skills starting with Square require and consume one Attack Level,
   ones starting with Triangle cost two, and ones starting with Circle
   cost three.

 - Gear Skills are closely related to character ones, in the sense that
   learning one character Skill makes you learn one Gear Skill. Since
   you can only learn character Skills on foot, it comes to happen
   that you need to be on foot even to learn Gear Skills!

 - In addition to the Skills you can learn normally (S,S, S,T, T,S,
   T,T, C,S and C,T), there are three accesories that allow you to use
   one additional Skill per level (S,C, T,C and C,C respectively).
   These Skills are extremelly useful as not only do they more damage
   than a regular Skill, but they also cost much less fuel.  Thanks
   to David Johnson (johnsonr@compuserve.com) for this info.


Infinite Attack Level:

 - Of special mention is the Infinite Attack Level.  For a start, it
   isn't achieved normally (i.e.  you don't automatically enter it
   when using a single attack from Level 3).  Instead, each turn you
   SPEND in Level 3, there is a chance of you getting to Level
   Infinite.  This chance is shown as the Hyper Level in the bunch of
   indicators at the right.  So if it says Hyper Level 30%, each turn
   you spend in Attack Level 3 (not counting the one you reach it)
   you have a 30% chance of getting to Attack Level Infinite. And
   note that you don't have to attack or do anything else to raise to
   Infinite Level: you could as well charge fuel while you wait.

 - Now, where does this chance come from? Well, while some Gears seem
   to have an initial Hyper Level value higher to 0%, generally speaking
   it seems to be solely affected by your current HP level.  The least
   HP you have, the greater this chance is.  Keep in mind, though,
   that even at almost 0 HP, this chance doesn't seem to raise above
   45% or so.  Also, the Weltall 2 has a Gear option that puts it
   automatically in Infinite Level, and the Xenogears is always at
   99% Hyper Level.

 - Infinite Attack Level wears of after three turns, so you better
   make the most of it. What are your options when in Infinite Attack
   Level?  For a start, you can use Infinite Level Gear Skills, which
   deal a huge amount of damage (about twice as much as a Level 3 Skill)
   for a mere 10, 20 or 30 fuel. Since these won't wear your attack
   level, you can just use them three times in a row. You can also
   charge, and will get 300 fuel back each time.

 - Here are some links you might find useful.

   Kao Megura's Homepage                                
   Homepage to my good friend K.M., which not only is co-author of this
   FAQ, but has also written a whole bunch of them, including the pretty
   famous Final Fantasy 7 one. The place I recomend for getting new
   versions of this FAQ.

   Game FAQs Archive                                   
   The best place for FAQs all around. If you're looking for something,
   they surely have it. It also hosts this FAQ.

   RPGamer                                              
   The best place for RPG information, including FAQs of course (and this
   one too).

   QueenVera's Xenogears Homepage   
   A really good page packed with Xenogears information, images and
   links.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
David Johnson                                   (johnsonr@compuserve.com)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
 - For the info on the third Gear Skill in each level. And for his
   invaluable walkthough, which unstuck me more times that I can
   remember ^_^;

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Zhou Tai An                                         (kain@pacific.net.sg)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
 - For keeping me updated with his awesome translations (did I tell
   you already to get them? I did? ^_^;), notes on character and Gear
   battle, and general all around assistance :).

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tatsushi Nakao / Uni                                 (uni@dragonfire.net)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
 - A whole lot of corrections on item names, my translations of these, and
   their effects. Also for info on getting some elusive items like the Bird
   egg, and others. And of course, for being his FF5 FAQ the source of
   inspiration for all my work (don't these item lists seem familiar to
   you? ^_- ). Thanks!
