Singapore
Okay!This is my first FAQs.I live in Singapore and i have always loved
Squaresoft games from the days of NES to PS.Someone asked me why i didn't wrote
the Faq for Zelda,since zelda was a more popular/better action-RPG than Brave
Fencer Musashi.Sure enough,with such popular game,many would be waiting to write
an FAq for zelda.In terms of graphics and gameplay,zelda is the sure
winner;being developed for nearly 3 years.However,Squaresoft is my favourite
game developer and i hope the first FAq i wrote to be a Squaresoft game.At
first,i didn't want to write any FAQ until I saw Henry Chan wrote that Tactics
Orge FAq,that led me to this idea.I have been playing so many games,with my
first system being Nintendo when i was 7.Nes and Super NES were probably my
favourite systems of all time.It would be a good time to share some of my
knowledge with others.I know I may not be a expert gaming writer but at least
i'll not that bad,huh?Come on!Show me some support.Sure enough,I finished both
Xenogears and Brave Fencer but why did i choose Brave Fencer.First,Xenogears is
longer with over 60hours gameplay and that means more time to write out the
walkthrough.I didn't have that much time.Second,
it has got really some real-elements like fusion,clock,action figure that made
me so attracted to it which zelda doesn't has.Thirdly,all the other FAQ for
Brave Fencer Musashiden was based on the Japanese version.Since i bought the
English version,then why don't I make an FAQ based on it?Besides,there has been
quite a lot of Xenogears FAq based on the English version.Four,
everyone has been thinking of Zelda,being most anticipated game of all time and
the greatest game ever made in this decade.And Brave Fencer Musashiden has
become a sleeper hit,with all attention focusing on Zelda.Of course,
given both games,i would rather play zelda but Brave Fencer Musashiden is a
decent cool game and I felt that all SquareSoft games are a hit and should not
be ignored by the everyone.I felt it was my duty being a squaresoft fan, to tell
more about this game.I began on this FAQ like a project to me and challenging
too although it's not related to school work.I spent a lot of time writing out
the walkthrough,bestiary and have spent more than what i have estimated.Up to
now,i have been updating this FAq for over two long weeks without resting and
everything that you need to know,you will find here.As long as it help you,then
i have achieved my aim.I hope everyone will give me your support.It would be
great if this FAQs really helps someone and saves them a lot of time.Squaresoft
games are meant to be experienced yourself to avoid ruining the thrill of
discovery and exploring.Of course,i can't stress that you use this FAq when you
are stuck.After all,the real enjoyment is to explore and discover new things on
your own.I suggest you read the basics tips,advanced tactics,boss fighting
method and avoid using the walkthrough too much.This FAQs is based on the US
version of Brave Fencer Mushashiden so all the japanese name has been translated
to the English name with detailed story and should make you easier to read.I
have gone through very detailed from rescuing people,techniques,legendary armor,
action figures,walkthrough and even ways of beating the boss.If you have another
way or additional info on the game,pls do not hesitate to e-mail me.Credits will
be given to the first one who give the tips.I hope you will enjoy it.Anyway,this
guide will have everything to help you master the game,including 13 minkus,35
bincho field and tons of secret.Plus i have listed down
treasures,foods,assimilated abilities and a bestiary that
contains most of the common enemies with strategies of how you should do.
Warning:Some of the key events listed down could be a spoiler if you have not
reached that chapter yet and could lessen your enjoyment.
AVOID READING TOO MUCH OF THIS FAQ ONLY WHEN YOU ARE STUCK.
Important Reminder!!!:It's best if you can read the basic tactics first such as
sleeping,shops in the village and so on because i won't be repeating these again
when you reach chapter 2.
Important notice!!!:I may update this FAq anytime,so pls check out gameFAq or at
my site anytime for the latest update.Probably,the new version will have
something new that yours doesn't has.
Note:This Faq is best viewed using WordPad and with text wrapped to window.

Review
I think square has created a worthy action-RPG to applease all zelda fans,
especially to those who don't own N64.(thanks god,i got N64)Top-selling quality
RPG games like Xenogears,Final fantasy7,saga frontier,final fantasy
tactics,square has created a new awesome action-RPG game,Brave Fencer.In
fact,Square is the king of RPG developer and has dominated all the RPGs
industry.It's has proven that they can do RPGs very well and now their recent
Non-RPG,Tobal no2 and Bushido Blade 2 are really impressive.And now,Square has
merged with Electronic Art to from Square Electronic Art,
SquareEA which will publish all Squaresoft games in United states,furthur
establishing Square as the market leader of RPG in Japan and US.This seems to be
a good news to everyone and already games like Xenogears,Bushido Blades
2,Parasite Eve and even Brave Fencer Musashiden were published by SquareEA.it's
likely that the US version of Final Fantasy 8 will also be published by
SquareEA.With many good quality games from square,it's a good bet this would be
another great gem from Square,especially from my favourite developer.Back to the
main topic.The storyline is beautifully written,
revolving a young hero,Musashi and the Allucaneet Kingdom,call upon to collect
the five scrolls and save the princess and the kingdom.The graphics are really
awesome,smooth with an ever-changing polygonal colorful,bright enviroment even
though they are not as glorious as zelda.Everything is rendered in textured
polygons and Gouraud shaded.The enviroment changes to morning,afternoon,evening
and night as time passes.Due to the 24-hour clock
,the lightening effects can be a visual.However,there is one problem with the
polygonal graphics.There are too many polygonal pop-up and tearing,which could
sometimes be annoying but still doesn't affect the gameplay.Zelda doesn't have
too much of that but polygon pop-up can be forgiveable as the Playstation is
quite capable of that.After all,the Playstation has flaws too.The voice actors
has done very done.Remember,zelda doesn't have voice actor.The game packs quite
an enormous amount of voice-overs and the result is humor,that's the best.Some
of the dialogues are really humorous and they sure have done very well.All i
could say is that the voice is really good.At first glance,in chapter 1,it plays
similar to Crash Bandicoot,except your hero now is a two-sworded
Fencer,Musashi,not Crash and the voice really looks childish and thought that
this game is for Kid,however it isn't.As you proceed to new Chapter,it gets more
and more difficult,with plenty of jumps and puzzles to solve.The voice and
dialogue may seem childish to you and as i mention above,the result is humor and
that's what Zelda is lacking of.The game is very challenging and at the same
time,deliver 'humor' to the game
,which can be enjoyed by all ages.Well done,Square!The level design is simply
well done,with many hidden paths.The musics are good,even though there wasn't as
many,compared to Xenogears and Final Fantasy 7,furthur establishing Square
capablities of having orchestra good music.You know when you played games like
Xenogears,Final Fantasy 7 and even the intro music theme of the FF8 really looks
great.Plus,the music in Brave Fencer is fully orchestra.The ending song are
surely the best in this game.Effects like raining,day-changing are really a
cool-visual.Sound effect are up to Squaresoft's quality.You can hear the
clanking of sword fighting,running water,birds chirping in the morning and swear
that it sounds like real.After all,the PlayStation has a very advanced sound
chip and is quite capable of that.Here comes the gameplay.The duel shock
controller adds vibration to the game,furthur adds more in-depth experience to
the game,provided you have a duel shock controller.The gameplay is a lot
different from Zelda and Square doesn't want to copy the direct gameplay from
zelda (remember,alundra).
Alundra is a good game but too direct gameplay to a link to the past,except a
change of storyline with more bigger maps.I prefer a link to the past compared
to Alundra.Brave Fencer Musashiden really reminds me of how awesome a Link to
the Past look during the 16-bit SNES.I am glad to say that it has lived up to
expectations.Not only the graphics are better than a link to the past,it in fact
offers more varied gameplay,more action than the Link and a better storyline
than link to the past.The different is that Link can make use of tools like
arrows,hammer he find to help him in his quest and in Musashi,he has to
assimilate ability from enemy to help him in his quest.
Even like in link finding hearts to increase max HP are now replaced by finding
Minkus and Bincho Fields that are scattered throughout the game in Musashi to
increase HP and BP,making more challenging gameplay.In link to the past,you
temper your sword to increase sword level,gain new ability but in Musashi,you
can attach scrolls to your Lumina sword to learn 5 different elemental attacks
and even learn 6 sword techniques to help you in your quest.Great Job.If
Zelda:Ocarina of Time is the best 3-D action-RPG in the 64-bit game,then Brave
Fencer Musashiden is the best 32-bit action-RPG,
ranking slighly above Zelda:A link to the past and truly the best in the 32-bit
game,much more better than Working Design's Alundra.I am not biased because
SquareSoft is my favourite company but the Brave Fencer definitely proves to be
a much better game than Alundra and don't forget that Brave Fencer is the first
action-RPG made by Square.Of course,one can argue that the efforts and time
spent to create Zelda that took nearly three years in development and represent
the next-generation 3-D games.Sure enough,Brave Fencer Musashiden has some weak
points like polygon pop-up but the gameplay is definitely as good as Zelda 64.On
the other hand,it does really have some cool elements that can really rival
against Zelda in some ways.Square has introduced several gameplay that probably
zelda should take note.The Fusion steal-enemy technique,the action figures
collection,saving people,riding a raft,being chased down by a huge head are all
welcome additions that adds to the gameplay.As during the adventure,Musashi gets
to run,jumps,fights,solves puzzles and challenge fearsome monsters in the game
or use the game's unique assimilate system to master enemy's
techniques.Also,Square has tried several ways to make the game fights different
from Zelda by adding a bar gauge,when filled and unleash super powers.There is
also a 24-hour clock that keeps track of time.You will noticed that after a
certain period of time,the clock on the bottom-right screen will increase by 15
minutes.As time passes,your character will begin to grow tired so you will have
to sleep.Whenever you sleep,time will move superfast at about twice the normal
speed,i guess.Along the way,you collect legendary armor to learn new
abilities,different techniques,five different legendary scrolls that gives you a
special attack of that element,defeating the crest guardians.Also,after you have
completed the game,you can save again to do all those unfinished business such
as collect action figure and rescue people which you have not saved.you will
first begin with the fusion sword and later on you will obtain the Lumina
sword.The Lumina sword enables you to attach scrolls to it to gain new power
whereas fusion sword enables you to assimilate enemy's ability which is by far
the best feature of all in this game.There are lots of hidden paths to
explore.The most disappointing is there isn't much exploration in villages and
there is the only one village here.It doesn't has an open 3-D open world map
like Zelda:Ocarina of Time or riding a horse as a vehicle.Perhaps Square should
take note of that.The camera angle wasn't as keen as i would have expected and
not as good as xenogears.While some camera angle has been quite well done,
except in some area like the village,the camera angle really sucks but not that
bad at all.You can only zoom in/out and is fixed during exploring while the
camera can be rotated in the village.Even though the village can be rotatable,it
makes getting from one place to another place difficult.It would really be
appreciated if Squaresoft could make an overhead camera angle from the
village.Also,another good point is that this game has little or no
loading.Because of the game constant playing,the little load time will not cause
any fustrations to anyone who playing it.As far as RPG elements are
concerned,there are plenty of interactions in the village and in the castle
too,whether it is talking to a villager,buying things,appraise items,action
figures or talking to palace members in the castle etc.Unlike Final Fantasy 7 or
Xenogears,it doesn't has any FMVs or anime for you to watch.However,that doesn't
make the game worse.In fact,this is even better as it saves up a lot of CD
spaces,no load time for videos/
anime for other things like level designs.If not,it could really be a two-CD
action-RPG and would cost even more money.After all,you wouldn't want to buy a
game packed with videos and anime and doesn't has good gameplay.Unlike
zelda,these game requires a lot of jumping,especially when you got double jumps
and it begins to get harder from chapter 3 onwards.From one look,the gap
there,seems impossible to jump over but it can be done.Just be patient.
Some also requires you to jump diagonally across,jumps on rotating drums,
poles and more.And if you don't master double jumps,there is no other
alternative ways.This game tends to focus its gameplay more on action and
exploring an area,and more unlike the Final Fantasy series.With the Final
Fantasy 8 demo packed with the Brave Fencer Musashi,it makes the game even a
MUST.Because of the demo disc packed with Brave Fencer Musashiden,it has sold
over 300,000 in Japan.Even if without the demo,Brave Fencer Musashiden will
still sell very well due to its quality.And for those who purchased the Japanese
version of Brave Fencer Musashiden,you are lucky because the demo disk is packed
with two more games,one fighting game made by Squaresoft and Namco with Cloud
being one of the fighters in the game and another one non-playable demo.Despite
not having the best graphics for an action-RPG,things
like having a 24-hour clock,assimilated ability,collect action figure,a two-
sworded fencer(I don't see Zelda holding two-swords and best of all,with these
two swords,fusion and lumina,Musashi can learn 6 different techniques to create
combos.)makes up far more than anyone has expected.Square has created another
worthy beautiful gem.With gameplay that last between 12 to 24 hours,Brave Fencer
Musashi will be the game that will keep you busy until Final Fantasy 8 arrives
next year somewhere in September.And don't forget about Parasite eve and
Xenogears,the two recent Square games too,especially Xenogears.
Graphics:8.5/10.0
Music:8.0/10.0
Sound:8.0/10.0
Gameplay:9.0/10.0
Replay value:8.5/10.0
Innovation:9.5/10.0
Valve tilt:8.0/10.0
Overall:8.5/10.0
Difficulty:Easy to hard
Learning curve:10min to 1hr15min
Now,you know how this game rates.
Graphics:How beautiful it is?
Music:Is the music good or bad?
Sound:The sound effects like clanking of sword fighting
Gameplay:The most important element of all.Is it fun?
Replay value:How good is it to make you play the game over again?
Innovation:The elements that make up the game.Original?
Valve Tilt:Would you still care about the game after a certain month of its
release.About six months?
You may ask why diffculty ranges from easy to hard.It's simple,because it may
seem hard to you for the first few times but after some practises,it becomes so
natural that it is so easy.After all,practise makes perfect.
I'll give it 9.3 if the graphics are as glorious as the one in zelda.There are
too many polygon pop-up but still gameplay doesn't suffer too much because of
that.And if it has those larger maps,more villages with exploration from town to
town,it will probably get 10/10 like zelda.

The True Story behind the Battle of Musashi and kojiro
Musashi was born in the town of Miyamoto and lived during a time when Japan was
undergoing radical military and political changes. After Tokugawa Ieyasu won the
battle of Sekigahara in 1600 and unified Japan,the role of the
samurai changed significantly and many samurai became masterless,or ronin.
Musashi developed a two-sword style called Nitenichiryu or the Two-Heavens-as-
One school.Legends say that he fought with his sword for the first time when he
was 13 years old, and never lost any duels for 17 years.He fought Sasaki Kojiro
on Ganryu island in 1612,for his last fight.There are many legends about the
duel at the island.It is believed that he delayed to get to the island over an
hour from the promissed time.Kojiro got angry at waiting for Musashi,and
couldn't recover his composure when Musashi finally appeared.When Kojiro drew
his sword,he threw his sheath away.Then Musashi said "You are lost,Kojiro.Those
who need no sheath are those who will die." The words were true for Kojiro.
He became the guest of a major daimyo,Hosokawa Tadatoshi in 1640.After that,
he lived in a cave on Mt. Iwato,and wrote Go rin No Sho or the Book of Five
Rings.He died not long after completing this book in 1645.
I guess that's where the two characters in the game,Musashi and Kojiro came
from,as well as the five scrolls.
This is a true story which i got from a site below.For more info,pls visit his
site to read more about the book of five wheels.

The legendary story of Brave Fencer Musashi
Warning:Do not read below to avoid too many surprises.
160 years ago,a giant monster suddenly appeared in Thirstquencher Empire,
Allucaneet Kingdom's neighboring country.After destroying Thirstquencher
Empire,it headed toward Allucaneet,which had a plentiful supply of Binchotite
buried beneath the ground. Everything in the monster's path was destroyed, and
it is said many monsters were created by the strange effects the Wizard of
Darkness had on the land. Brave Fencer Musashi was called upon by King
Allucaneet to stop the evil wizard of darkness,a huge creature composed of pure
Binchotite,a mystical mineral with mysterious properties from doing destruction
to the world and is the only raw material for making Bincholon,a source for fuel
and other household,industrial applications.
Handed down from generation to generation to the princess of Allucaneet,the Hero
Summon spell is a special power used only as a last resort when the kingdom is
faced with great danger.It grants the user the ability to summon hero through
incantations made over specially prepared chunk of Binchotite.
The battle between Musashi and the Wizard of Darkness raged on and on. The
Wizard of Darkness was a formidable foe, even for a hero like Musashi.With the
sword of Luminescence and the help of five legendary armor Musashi
collected,Brave Fencer Musashi could only seals the Dark lumina,the wizard of
darkness inside the sword and divided its power into five legendary
scrolls,Earth, Water, Fire, Wind and Sky and then sealed them within the
crest.It's said that once the five scrolls are absorbed by lumina once again,the
spell that seal the wizard of darkness will be released once again.In order to
stop the wizard of darkness from doing any harm to the world,Brave Fencer called
upon the five crest guardians to protect the five scrolls.The legendary Brave
Fencer Musashi once again returned to his own world.As years passed,people has
forgotten about the wizard of Darkness.Then once again,the Thirstquencher Empire
has been continuing to expand its territories and threaten the Allucaneet
Kingdom while the King and Queen of Allucaneet Kingdom is away on a vacation.The
princess of Allucaneet kingdom possesses the power to summon a hero and summon
the legendary Brave Fencer Musashi.However,Musashi turns out to be a kid and has
no idea about the battle with the wizard of darkness.With the sword of fusion to
assimilate ability,Musashi went to the spiraling tower to obtain the sword of
Lumina.
The princess was captured by the Thirstquencher Empire on the way.He went on his
journey to collect the five scrolls and rescue the princess,not knowing anything
about the battle before.And now the journey continues...Would the seal of the
Wizard of Darkness be broken once again?I can't tell you now.
Meanwhile,the King and Queen of Allucaneet Kingdom were on a vacation...

Awards
These awards are based on my opinion towards the game.These awards are not based
on any publication or anything.
While it may not have the best graphics action-RPG,it certainly has some other
great fighting elements that can easily rival zelda.
Good Awards
-The First action-RPG character,Musashi holding two swords like the japanese
samurai
-The first action-RPG with 24-hour clock,days,and time.
-The ability to assimilate enemies' abilities
-Great storyline
-The first real action-RPG with real voice overs during key scenes.
-Most innovative boss:when fighting Topo.it's like Parappa meets Musashi.
-Most innovative missions:Rescuing 35 palace members and finding 13 minkus.
-Most strangest boss fight:Tower of Death
-Best feature:Action Figures and fusion abilities
-2nd runner up feature:shops have opened and closed hours
-3rd runner up feature:sleep,eat,swing,climb
-4th runner up feature:Bread and milk will spoilt after 5 days.
-The most humorous game
Bad Awards
-Not having the best graphics action-RPG and has too many polygon pop-up.
-Not many good music,except the ending one.(not that bad after all)
-unable to rotate camera angles when exploring during adventure;camera is
fixed.
-only one village.
Others:
-the game that has so many jumps and swings.More action than puzzles.
-too many chasing like being chased down from the statue head;chased by dark
Lumina etc.Could it be a good or bad thing?
What a waste of Kojiro?
What happened to Kojiro after he is being absorbed by Wizard of Darkness?
The final boss is Dark Lumina but i think Square should let Kojiro have a
serious duel with Musashi.Don't count the fight at Island of Dragon since Kojiro
purposely lose to Musashi,just to let Topo disguise as the princess to destroy
steamwood.I mean have a long,true fight with Kojiro,not just with Dark
Lumina.Read the true story of Musashi above and you will know why.

Fusion and Lumina
Fusion:A light-weight special sword with the ability to assimilate enemies'
abilities.Shorter than Lumina and cause lesser damage than Lumina.However,it
allows quick swipes continously by pressing square button.
Lumina:A powerful,yet heavy sword than fusion.You can attach scrolls to the
sword to gain new abilities.The only sword that can break bincho field.
Causes nearly twice the damage of fusion.However,it doesn't has any quick swipes
like fusion sword.
____________________________________________________________________________
Fusion
'Fusion' is a special 'steal' technique used by Mushashi.In this game, you
need to learn to steal enemy's techniques in order to advance so try to
absorb enemy skills when you are stuck during the game.Also, there are lots
of hidden path which requires you to learn enemy skills.Some skills like
hop are immediately executed when you absorb but these skills are only
temporary whereas some skills like gunshots are permanently and can be used
by pressing circle. Of course ,BP will be consumed.There will be a bar on
the left side and a word 'Fusion' on the right side. First,look in the
direction of your enemy, hold R1 and the gauge on the left side bar will
rise up. Once it's full, press square and a green beam will shoot up.If this
green beam hits the enemy, repeatedly press the square button.You will noticed
that the left bar will be emptied again but will rise up as you pressed
square.When it's full, you will learn the skill.For example,if you
assimilate gunshot,the word 'fusion' will disappear and change into gunshot,
indicating you have successfully learned. However, note that you are only
allowed to have one enemy skill each time.For example, if you already have
learned gunshot,you steal 'hop',your previous skill,gunshot will be lost.
Stealing your enemy skill will instantly killed your enemy and caused them to
disappear but they does not left behind items like money,BP,HP.Note that you
can't steal techniques from bosses.And when you are fighting against bosses,your
assimilated ability immediately disappear and change to fusion.
For more info,pls read the assimilated abilities
____________________________________________________________________________
24-hour Game Clock
On your right side,you will see the no of days,time.Your enviroment will change
as time goes on.it's mid-night,the sky will grow darker.Sometimes you will need
to go inside the shop to buy things.The shop will not opened until it reaches a
certain period of time.For example,shops like bakery shop,pawn shop will close
when it is at night,except the inn.So,you may have to sleep and wait.It
incorporates a real-time clock within the game.This clock runs 24 hours a
day,seven days a week.The days in the game are determined in this
order:Monday,Tuesday,Wednesday,Thursday, skyday,saturday,sunday.
____________________________________________________________________________
Sleep
To sleep,press select.If done correctly,the left hand side picture should change
to a 'moon'or sleep mode.Then hold R1 and release it when it's full.
Musashi will lie on the ground,the bottom middle will show your tiredness.
For example,100% tiredness shows that you are very tired.During quest,
it's best to have around 20% to 40%,if not you might fall asleep sometime.
To wake up,press X.When you sleep,time will continue to past and your BP will
decrease and HP will rise.You can also use an H-mint or mint item to cure
tiredness.When Musashi's tired percentage is over 50%,the small,
circular portrait window in the right-hand side of the screen will begin to
close.When it's completely close,Musashi is 100% tired.
Tip:if you are really tired,feed yourself with H-mint or mint.
____________________________________________________________________________
Movement
Musashi moves faster when he is fully awake.If Musashi is very tired or
poisoned,or zero BP,he will not be able to run fast as usual.Then,you will know
what to do,huh?
____________________________________________________________________________
Memory box
It looks like a chest.When opened up,it will ask you whether you want to
leave your memory here.If you leave your memory here,you can continue
from here when you die,however you will lose 50% of your money.Also,the
most important thing is if you leave your memory in the memory box and
switched off your machine,your memory will be eased and you have to start from
the inn.Saving in a memory box may be costly and is more unreliable.You should
rely more on the inn.
____________________________________________________________________________
Saving your Game
You can only save your game in an inn or after you have completed a chapter
which will prompts you to save or in Chapter 6 after beating the sub-bosses like
Topo,Ben,Ed.
____________________________________________________________________________
Minku
These are the bunnies that you will see in the game.There are a total of 13
minku.They come out only after 2300.During the day,there will be a spot with
animal dung.These minku moves very fast and you have to carried them by pressing
square or triangle when near.Throw them away and they will give you longevity
berry which will boast your HP by 25.A must to find all.Once you find the 13
minku,you will find mother minku in the meandering forest.Defeat it and you will
be able to buy mother minku action figure.
____________________________________________________________________________
Crests and Scrolls.
There are 5 lengendary scrolls,belonging to 5 elements(earth,water,fire,wind
sky.)which you must obtain.Once you have defeated the corresponding crest
guardian and get the scroll for that specific element,the crest for that element
will glow and a hidden path will be revealed.For more info on crest,read the
advanced tactics on crest location
The effects are:
Scroll Abilities Effects
Normal Circular sweep 1)Extinguish some flames
2)Break hard/Large objects
Earth Earthquake 1)Moves most large boulders
2)Stun surrounding enemies
temporary
3)Activate switches
Water Water shield 1)Creates a water
& shield,enabling to block
#Shoot water bubbles One fire elemental attack
but disappear after that.
2)Float on water temporary
3)Extinguish flames
Fire #Flame 1)Shoot flames
Fire Shield 2)Creates a fire shield and
harm surrounding enemies
3)Light up torches
Wind #Cyclone 1)Pass through strong winds
and poisonous clouds

Sky #Float 1)Temporarily float a few
feet above ground
To perform the special abilities,in the sub-menu,choose the the type of scrolls
that you want,for example Earth or Normal.To perform the Earth ability,just hold
R1 until the left side gauge bar is full,then press Triangle to perform the
ability.As for special scrolls marked with #,like water,wind,fire,repeat the
same procedure,and then you will noticed that the left side gauge bar will begin
to empty.Before the bar is emptied,you can hold triangle or square to perform
another ability for example,water to shoot bubbles,fire to shoot flames and wind
to create cyclone.As for sky,it is similar to fire,water,wind,but instead of
hoding square or triangle,you hold X to float.
____________________________________________________________________________
Legendary Armors
Legend says that Musashi seals the wizard of darkness with the help of five
armor but in actual,there are 6 legendary armor if you count the L-cloth.
With the L-cloth,you can make L-glove or L-quilt.However,you can only choose one
between L-glove and L-quilt,that makes 6 instead of 7.Each Legendary armor will
be automatically equipped and each gives you a special ability.
For example,L-belt lets you to perform double jump by pressing X twice and L-
brace lets you climb up a cliff with your two sword.
For more information,pls read the secret section on Legendary armors and how to
obtain the L-glove or L-quilt.
____________________________________________________________________________
HP and BP
Your BP will decrease after some time while your HP will rise.Be sure to have
tons of recovering BP items.The HP too is also very important.The best recovery
item of all is the cheese.It costs around 300 and is much more cheaper than S-
revive.You will need to keep the cheese as long as possible.
It recovers both HP and BP.The longer you kept the cheese before using,the more
you will recover.Sometimes,it will recover all.Defeating an enemy will also give
you items.Some gives you money and some recovers HP or BP.Note that the max HP
and BP you can go is 500.
____________________________________________________________________________
Techniques.
There are 6 specialised techniques that you can learn.I don't think there are
any more.Each technique is a new special attack skill.For example,the Dashing
Pierce,allows you to to charge at your enemies whereas Rumparoni-SP is an aerial
attack using your Lumina sword by pressing triangle when you double jump.Master
these techniques well as each of these will come in handy and useful when
dealing with some bosses and enemies.Believe me!They can cause quite a lot of
damage to your enemy.
For more info on techniques,pls read the secret sections on techniques as it
will include all the 6 listed techniques and the moves.
____________________________________________________________________________
Bincho Field
Bincho Field is a restraining weapon developed by Thirstquencher army that is
able to seal solid objects up in a green crystal with concentrated bincho
energy.The Thirstquencher empire uses this weapon to trap the palace members of
Allucaneet and terriorize the Kingdom.There are a total of 35 people trap in
this bincho field.Some are found in hidden paths and cannot be located
easily.Some will even teach your techniques in return.In the game,you will see a
'glowing green crystal'.Hit triangle using the lumina sword and after a short
conversation, they should teleport back to the castle.You can also visit them at
the castle.Also, everytime,you rescue from someone in the Bincho field,your max
BP will gain 5 more and completely restored.So it's best to use up nearly all
your BP and hit the bincho field to regain all your BP rather than just a
few.It's a good bargain.You can detect those bincho field by your sensor watch
that Butler Livers give you.
____________________________________________________________________________
The village.
Here is a list of what you can find in the village.I have also listed out the
the types of items you expect them to sell from various types of shop.I have
also listed their opening hours.
For more info on village shop,i urge you to read the advanced tactics on
village.
Bakery:Buying bread,milk etc.
Note:Bread and milk lasts only 5 days which after will cause them to
rotten and become uneatable.Sell bread and milk to them only.Does not
buy any items like action figure from you.
Hours open:7am to 7pm.Closed:Thursday
Grocery or general store:Let you buy items like orange,S-revive.
Only buy their own shop items from you only.
Open daily from 10am to 8pm
Pawn shop:Allows items to be appraise.Only buy appraised items from you.
Hours open:11am to 4pm.Closed:Monday
Toy store:This is the most interesting feature i have ever seen.Once
you defeats your enemy,you can buy their action figure from the shop.The
game moves in chapters and series 1 refers to all the enemies that you
have fought in chapter 1,series 2 refers to enemies in chapter 2.If an
action figure is missing from a particular series,this means you have not fought
that enemy yet and a ??? will be shown.it's great to have a whole collection of
action figure.Probably you will receive something or not?The last ???of a
particular series usually refers to the last boss of that chapter.So don't panic
if you have not got the figure yet.The last group is called the special edition
of action figure which has 7 slots instead of 6 like the series.The special
action figure cannot be purchased unlike you have to defeat the enemies like
other series,you will have to unlock it yourself.The only advice that i can give
you.The early you buy a new action figure that is just comes in,the cheaper it
is.The longer you buy,the price will higher.Now,here's a simple trick to help
you make money.If you have decided to sell your action figure,it's best to sell
it as later as possible so that you will earn a profit.However,if you regret and
want to buy the action figure again,it will be much more and more expensive.It's
good to collect an action figure,so don't sell it.Earn as much Drans as possible
to collect as many action figure.Note that Kurt won't buy open toys.
Hours Open:12pm to 8pm Closed:Wednesday
Note:Refer to the secrets section to learn more about special action figure.
Inn:The inn allows you to save your journey for free.However,sleeping in an inn
needs money.The more expensive room,the more HP and BP you will recover.
However,taking nap for 80 only heals your BP completely but not HP.Nap requires
3 hours. Note:that sleeping requires time.Normally,you will sleep until the next
day you wake up and your tiredness will be
almost or nearly gone.
Hours Open:Almost every time.
Restaurant:Lets you eat and chat with others.There is also a man who will be
willing to gamble with you.1 bet 100.

Binchotite
It is the supreme from of energy which is mined mainly in the vicinity of
Allucaneet.When underground,it exists in a liquid from,however,when exposed to
air becomes crystalizes.It is also the raw material of Bincholon.
Bincholon is a source of fuel and energy for the Grillin' citizens.The steamwood
is built to pump this Bincholon.However,Binchotite is toxic and there have been
reported cases of plants and animals mutating after being exposed to it and one
of the reason why you got poison after you fell into this binchotite mine.
____________________________________________________________________________
Stats
Body:Musashi's strength.Exp increaes as he defeats enemies.
Mind:Reduce damage by force of will.Exp increases the more you travel.
Fus:Fusion's attack power.Exp increases the more Fusion is used.
Lum:Lumina's attack power.Exp increases the more lumina is used.
Note that the max limit you can go is Lv 30.
____________________________________________________________________________
Limit
As mention,if you use more fusion attack,your fusion level attack will
increase,so does lumina.The no on the left of each bar shows the level of the
fusion,lumina,body and mind.The no on the right shows its strength,the higher it
is,the more stronger it is.For example,52 on the right side of lumina shows that
lumina attack is 52.When itr comes to a certain level,it will reach its
limit.For example,in chapter 2,you can train your mind,body,
fusion,lumina up to Lv 8.After completing each chapter,your limit will extent

Defending
By pressing R1,Musashi can block any frontal attack.The only disadvantage is
that you can't run or jump while Musashi is blocking and can't defend any attack
from sides,back or from the top.You can use this action when you get confronted
with a room full of enemies and you need some time to correctly position
yourself for the attack.If Musashi finds himself in a hairy situation,press X
button while defending to perform a quick backflip.

palace to the village by choosing the Gondola at the last option or from the
village to the palace by talking to Mr Lands sitting at the Gondola.
____________________________________________________________________________
General tips.
Items
1)Appraise any items that you have found.Without appraise,this item is
useless.
2)Sell items that have been appraised like crystal,long tube,goldcoins
for Drans.They are totally useless.
3)Do not sell the cloth or goggles.They are useful.
4)Don't buy items like breads,orange,riceball,milk that will rotten.
5)Instead,buy items like W-gel,C-drink and at least one S-revive
in your inventory.Bread will become Ol' bread and then rot bread.Milk will
change into sour milk after five days,making it worthless.However,several
days later,it will change into yogurt.
6)Buy one to three cheese and keep them as long as possible.When kept for
long,it might even heal all your HP and BP completely,plus it's much
cheaper than C-Drink,S-revive and does not rotten.Save it as long as
possible and used it during the boss.
During adventure
1)Look out for hidden paths and treasure.You might not be able to go
there,but come back later.
2)keep a look out for minku.They are a source of HP boasters.
3)Look out for Bincho field.Not only are they a source of BP,you get
valuable techniques and info.Some of the Bincho field are hidden and
cannot be acessed right away.Some are less accessible and hard to see than
others.Also,some jumpings and climbing may be needed.Be sure to explore
first before leaving.
4)Master the fusion to steal techniques.You need to learn some fusion
techniques to advance the game.
5)When your HP is running low,you can sleep.You will noticed that your HP
will rise by 4 for every BP decrease.If you get the legendary quilt,not
only twice faster the time,it regains your HP by 10 and BP by 8 each
time.However,if you don't have legendary quilt,and you get poison.My
advice is if you sleep,your HP will decrease by 8 each time your BP
drops.total you will lose 4 HP.If you have the legendary quilt,your HP
will gain by 2 instead of 10 each time.
6)Collect heart tablets(restore HP) and Bincholons(restores BP).
7)Pick up Drans too.Drans is the currency of money in this game.
When jumping
As i said that,this game has a lots of jumps and you could hardly believe that
it is possible to jump over.Some jumps require you to jump diagonally
cross.
1)Be patient if you cannot jump over.
2)Choose from a good position to jump.
3)Make sure you are not poisoned or very tired.if you are tired,then sleep.
4)Do not force yourself if you are unable.Change your position.
5)Run as fast and jump.
5)Try to jump from a higher position to a lower position.
Swing
1)Swing as long as posible to gain more kinetic energy to join higher.Simple
enough!The law of Physics.
2)Look at the direction here you are facing before pressing X to jump
higher.
Pole
1)There isn't much to say about jumping from pole to pole.Climb up to the
peak of the pole and then jump.
Climbing
1)You can only climb once you have the L-brace.Press Square and Triangle
consecutively to climb up the cliff.
Saving
1)Do not rely too much on memory box
2)Save at least more than 2 different data.
Techniques for Double Jumps
There isn't much to say.You can jump more higher and furthur if you spin while
in the air instead of pressing X too fast in ground.
The trick is:
Choose from a good position.
Press X to jump once while holding the directional button.
Hold directional button but release the X button for a second.
Then you should be in air.
Quicky,press X button while holding the directional button.
Then you should be able to jump slighier farthur and higher rather than pressing
X so fast.that's means press the second time X when you have reached the peak of
your jumps.
Techniques for boss.
Look out for a way to hit the boss and follow a distinct pattern.Refer to trhe
walkthrough for srategies on bosses.

them away by pressing square or triangle when very near to them.
Collect as many coins,Heart Tablets and Bincholons as possible.Musashi initial
weapon,fusion is rather weak and causes very little damage to most enemies and
requires several hits to elimilate the enemies.These enemies wandered around
aimlessly and when they spotted Musashi,an exclamation mark appears on top of
his head and would begin to attack you.Run up the path,
jump the river and make your way to the 3 rocks.Push the middle rock as far as
it will go.Watch out for the Red Guard try to push log on top of you.When you
get to a small stream,should you fall into the water,Musashi's HP will be
reduced as Musashi,himself does not know how to swim,you will need to find a
Blue Gun soldier to absorb technique,this will give you gunshot.Each shot
consumes 1BP.Shoot the logs down to cross the river by pressing circle.
Question:How to steal enemy technique?
Answer:Read at the general strategy on fusion.
Outside
Enemies:Stone Head
Start off by heading left or right and you will notice that the stone head is
bombarding you with exploding red spiral beams,to a ringed wall with a huge head
in the middle and many statues surrounding the middle head.The head will
generate an electrical field,destroy these statues and an emblem will be
exposed.Step on the four emblems and a path will be revealed.While you are
hacking these statues,the middle head will generate a red spiral which causes
explosions on you.Run around to prevent damage.You can dodge the beam by running
around.Enter the door to get inside.Find the base of the spiral path and begin
to ascend the tower.Avoid the spiked logs and giant wheels that roll down the
path.They appear in a set pattern and is easy to avoid.The first stone wheel
rolls down the inner part of the path;the second wheel rolls down the ouside
path;followed by a rolling log which you can jump over to avoid getting hit by
the rolling spiked log.
Inside the Spiral Tower
Enemies:Sphere Bat,Blue Soldier 1,Red Soldier 1
Make your way up the spiraling path.Along the way,there will be some guards
there to stop you and blue bats flying towards you.These blue bats attack in
groups of three can cause quite a decent damage on you,however they are easy to
kill.When they are flying toward you,stop for a while and keep attacking using
quick swipes by pressing square continously..These will kill the bats and they
cannot come near you.You can also dodge the bats by maiking a jump.
i suggest killing them as these bats will often give you HP for recovery.
Musashi will stop and comment on a big bell hanging over a fiery pit.
Continue upwards and there will be a door at the top that it is locked.A secret
path will reveals until complete darkness.Once the bell falls,the light will go
off.
Question:How to make the bell fall?
Answer:Use gunshot to shoot at the rope.The bell will fall.
Question:What if i absorb stun and lost my gunshot techniques?
There will be a blue guard there.So steal his techniques.
The secret path will reveal.the door will opened.Enter it.
To Get Lumina Sword on the Roof.
Enemies:Blue Soldier 1,Red Soldier 1
You will be on the roof and you will see the big head and a lot of guards.
You can't get the sword because the head will generate a red crystal around the
sword.There is a panel there and when stepped,the removes the force field.
The problem is how to get the sword when you are stepping on the square?
Question:How to get the sword?
Answer:1.try to lure some guards to the square so you can picked up the sword
when the panel is stepped on.This requires timing.
Question:Is there another way?
Answer:There is a second method which is more efficient.Go get one of the
guards, the Red Guard actually.Absorb his ability and you will learn 'Stun'.
This will cause your enemy to paralyse.First,lure him over to the force
field.When he stepped on the force field,use stun get the sword.
Chasing
The head will destroy the tower and chase after you.It requires some
practise and you should be able to after a few rounds.Should you
failed,you can continue again(unlimited) without from the beginning
but the time goes on.
Techniques:
When Musashi yells 'jumps',get ready to jump over the river.
Try to go as straight as possible,saving more time,rather than going
left and right too often.
Make use of jumps.Jump over small boulders to save you time.
Try to remain in the middle path while trying to dodge obstactles on the path.
ignore enemies along the way.Just concentrate on avoiding rocks and logs.
Castle
How can a chapter ends without the boss?Upon reaching the castle,the princess
will be captured by a bad guy called Rootrick.After a conversation,
he will trap you in a ring of fire.The princess will then asks Musashi to use
lumina.Hold R1 until the left bar guage is full.Then press triangle.
Musashi will spin his lumina sword (remember,something! Ah, Zelda!)These will
put up the ring of fire.Rootrick gets angry and he will left with the
princess,leaving a steam Knight.
Steam Knight
This guy has a very big steel ball that he will drops it on you.The trick is
while he is spinning the ball,he's ready to drop the ball on you.Run anywhere or
jump around to dodge.Watch out for the steam,coming from his leg.Do not hold R1
because you will be unable to move fast to dodge his attack.Hold R1 only after
he has stop spinning the ball,move closer to his one of his legs and use lumina
by pressing triangle while the bar is full. A few time on his legs will cause
him to stun. During this time,attack the torso spot in his mid-section the arrow
will point to.Be sure to use lumina.
This will cause him damage. He will wake out after some time.Use the same
technique on his other leg until he is stun.When his HP runs out,go near him and
throw him out of the wall by triangle.His HP should refilled and repeat the same
procedure again.Be careful,he will also start throwing pillar on you. When his
HP is completely gone,throw him out again,his HP should refilled the once more
for the last time.Do not go near him since simply this time,you can't attack his
legs anymore to knock him off.You have to attacked the middle torso spot.The
only way to let him jump high up the air,when he lands,remember to stay away
from a certain distance from him to prevent getting hurt,his torso will be
exposed. This time,move as fast up and hit the glowing ball.This should do him
damage.When his HP is completely gone, you will get to toss it out of the
town.Exhausted from battle.Musashi decides to take a rest.
Tips:When Steam knight is ready to throw steelball at you,you can jump to
avoid it.
Credit:This tip is submitted by try it yourself.
Congradulations,you have completed chapter 1.
____________________________________________________________________________
Chapter 2:A new journey
Important Reminder!!!:Pls read the basic tactics on village shops,how to
sleep,the 24-hour clock and so on before proceeding because i won't be repeating
again in the walkthrough.
Village
As you begin Chapter 2,Musashi awakens in a room within the Allucaneet Palace
and will be greeted by Steward Ribson and Butler Livers.Butler Livers will ask
you to recover five scrolls and rescue 35 palace members that are trapped in a
bincho field.Butler Liver will give you a rescue list where you can view the
names of the people that you have rescue through sub-menu.
Butler Liver will also give you the sensor watch which detects nearby bincho
field by flashing red.The small rings in the bottom corners of the screen will
begin to flash reddish in color when a bincho field is nearby.Although it is
difficult to be seen on screen,this is the sensor watch.The faster the sensor
watch flashes,the nearer you are to the bincho field.
After a scene with everyone,you can visit the village after you have gone to the
library,or meet all your friends.Because the Gondola ride is out of
service,Musashi must use his two swords to ride the Gondola's rope to the
village.You can return to the palace through the entrance near the Father
White's church.When you first go into town,it's best to speak to the mayor
first.He lives in a big house near the bottom of the trail that you come down
and can be identified by a windvane on the top of the roof.Knock on the door by
square.The time is very important,if you knock on the door very early in the
morning,the door won't open.Wait until when most has wake up.
Around 10.30am.The mayor will open the door and should talk about the lost dog
and ask you to find it it in the twinpeak mountain.The mayor says that he may
consider Musashi part of Grillin' citizens and provide him with information on
the five scrolls,only if he agrees to bring the dog back.
However,you can't enter the mountain without the Macho's permission.You will
have to find a way yourself.Take some time to familiarise the layout of the
village and the citizens.
Tips:There are two ways to enter the Twinpeak mt.
1)Wait until Macho visits the restaurant at six and go in by the entrance.
2)Save Guard Lumpwood.
To avoid wasting time,it's best to save Guard Lumpwood.
Going into Somnolent Forest
Bincho field:Guard Lumpwood(somnolent forest),
Hawker Steakwood(Dead end)
Enemies :Green Soldier 3,Herb Plant,Magician,Maneater,Hopper
But before you go,make sure you have a plentiful supplies of bread,Gel etc.
take the path,right the church and over the river.Remember not to fall into the
river.Musashi cannot swim.Read the sign board.It should says 'Dead End'.
Go in to the forest and release the bincho field.(Hawker Steakwood)YoHo!You have
rescued the first person.Go back to the village again to the other end and
entered the forest.The sign should read Somnolent Forest.You can't enter the
bottom path because it is surrounds with steam and you will get hurt when you
are too near to the steam.Come back after the explosion of the steam reactor(1)
to release another bincho field.Now,go up the path and rescue another Bincho
field.(Guard Lumpwood)Now,head back to the village.
Talk to everyone for info.
Twinpeak Mountain(Rescuing Leno)
Bincho Field:Soldier Lardwick
Minku :Left path of the Twinpeak entrance.
Enemies :King Maneater,Magician,Maneater
Go back up the path and the guard,Lumpwood that you saved earlier will let you
pass through the Twinpeak mountain Entrance.If you did not rescue
Lumpwood,Macho will be at the entrance to stop you from entering.Then you will
have to wait until 6pam when he visit the restaurant.Note:there is a minku when
you first come to the village,go left path.Do not come down.You should see an
animal dung.During anytime of the game between 2300 to 2400,
visit the place again to obtain longevity berry to boast your HP by 25.You can
also visit now before entering the mountain.Go left and hold R1 once you see the
Magician,absorb his shrink technique.Press circle to use it.Any enemies who gets
shrink cannot attacked and can be easily stomp by enemy,
including yourself.Don't forget that the magician can also shrink you but after
a while,you will regain.Release the guy in the bincho field next to where the
first magician appeared.(Soldier Lardwick)Jump on the lilly pad and use shrink
on the King Maneater.Jump over and you should see Leno,the dog on the other
side.Note:If you did not meet the mayor,Leno will not be there and a bone will
be left behind.Pick up Leno and throw him over to the other side and get him
back to the path.Should Leno falls into the water,he will return to where the
bone is.Remember,don't toss leno into the exit or he will reappear on the
island.To pick the dog up,simply press Square or Triangle and then Square to
toss the dog.When you return,talk to mayor.He will ask you to speak to Jon for
more information on the five scrolls,the prisoner near the entrances to the Dead
End and Somnolent Forest area.
Finding Bread and Water
Go over the river and talk to the prisoner, he will ask for water and bread. Go
buy some Rye bread from the store, but the water must come from the well by the
church.If the two women(Mrs Grange and Mrs Lands)are there you'll have to wait
until there gone,explore!For your information,they are at the well between 10am
to 4pm.To get the water,simply go near the well and press Square.Once you get
the water,WellH20,take it to the guy and he gulps down the food and tells you
that he is a "Treasure Hunter".You agree to help him find the key for a secret.
Minku:A hidden path near the second bridge
Sidequest:Before you crossed the second bridge to the sleepie at Somnolent
Forest near the bridge,there is a secret hidden path and you will see another
Minku.
Bincho field:Seer Bevealy
Treasures :Old Crown
Enemies :Red Soldier 1,Green Soldier 3,Herb Plant,Magician,Maneater,
Sleepie,Thorny Bushes,Bee Plant
The key is inside the meandering forest.Go inside the Somnolent forest until you
reached the sign 'meandering forest'.You can't go forward any more because there
are spikes around.Absorb the hop techniques from the hopper and you will be able
to past the thorny bushes.Before hopping the thorny bushes,there is a slope on
the right side and you can go up the slope with hop.There is a bincho field(Seer
Bevealy)and a chest(Old Crown).Enter the meandering forest.Follow Leno.On the
way,there are many enemies and you'll have to kill them to protect Leno.Get the
key on the top left tomb in the graveyard and go back by taking the south
entrance.Jon will ask you to come after midnight so as to avoid being seen by
people.Come back after midnight to rescue him.He will talk about the legendary
armor and asked you to collect 4 logs and meet at the Twinpeak mountain.
Collecting the First Legendary Armor.
Bincho field:Mercenary Meitlofe(left of the three poles is),

around the corner.Run to the far left passing the magician.Release the bincho
field and save another person.(Mercenary Meitlofe)You will see three poles.Jump
from pole to pole to get to other side.Remember to climb up to restore BP.Go
left to the "Memory Box",choose the first option.Note that on the far left end
of the cliff of the memory box contains a minku.You will need to jump from a
great height to reach cliff.Come back at night to get the minku.Or you will have
to wait until you got L-belt to climb the cliff.
Go right up the path,jump to the box (Old Book)behind the waterfall,go up the
path and into the cave.There is also another chest containing 200Drans to the
very left of the memory box.After a series of jumpings, you should come to a
bridge. Note: There is another bincho field below and a treasure.
(Shepherd Beefalo)(Dagger)Save this person by climbing down middle vine.Note
that the vine is electrified.When you come out of the cave down by the river go
to the far right,hold R1,hit Triangle,get the tree,go up the path.Go
right,notice the red wall, you'll be able to climb these soon.Go down the
pole,get the bincho field,(Knight Lardwick)go back up and right to the next
pole, go down and get the tree and bincho field.(Carpenter Carvey)Back up and

Treasures :200Drans,Bracelet(both on a cliff after the raft ride)
Forget about collecting coins.
Use jumps effectively to dodge large boulders.You should be able to after some
practise.Unlimited continues should you lost from here.Time will goes on.If you
hit the edges,one of your log will be gone and 4 hits will KO you.
After you come down the waterfall,there are two ways.The first way allow you to
rescue the bincho field,Doctor.He can heal you inside the castle.After rescuing
him,you will have to go back and sit on the raft again.The right path will lead
you further down the waterfall where you will be seeing some guys throwing rods
and staffs on you.Use jump to dodge.Get the bracelet.
Don't jump down first.Walk furthur down to open another chest of 200 Drans.Then
jump down and head back to the village as there will be nothing for you to
explore.
Steam Reactor Part 1
Minku :On a cliff at the right of the Gondola ride
Treasures:Manual(given by fore),
Aged coin(left path before steamwood.)
Go to the pawn shop to appraise everything you found.When you exit from the
shop,the mayor will talk to you.There is a problem at the steam reactor and he
wants you to help.Save and Talk to the steamwood administrator,Fores.
Don't bother go for treasure hunting once you have talked to Fores but collect
it after Steamwood is saved as time is precious.There is also another minku on
the right of the gondola ride in a cliff.Climb up there to take another
minku.Climb up the cliff.Talk to him and he will give you the manual.Go to steam
wood that is near the windmill,climb the cliff.There is also another secret path
to the left where you can obtain another treasure,
Aged coin but for the time being you might want to take it after steamwood is
repaired.You have only 24 hours to stop.There will be gauges and once reaches
the OK zone,press X and the pressure in the valve will rise up.When it's
full,head for the next one.There are a total of 8 valves to shut down which must
be entered in numerical order from 1 to 8.If done correct,the red door turns to
green and your valve timer will rise,giving more time.When it reaches zero,you
will have to start all over again from 1.Each gauge will get more and more
faster so timing is everything.Be careful about those electrified walls.Jump
carefully over them.These electrified walls can poised an hindrance on
you,reducing your HP.
Note:You might want to try it yourself before looking below for strategies
as it might ruin your game.
Strategy:When you reach the first level,run to the right and shut down
valve#1.To reach #Valve3,you must make a tricky jump onto one of the orange
pipes next to the walkway,and then hop over to the valve.Be very careful.
Take the lift up to the second level,hop onto an orange pipe next to the
elevator and jump onto the main walkway.run to the left past valve#6 to locate
valve#4.Shutdown valve #4 and go to the left to shut down valve#6,
then right to valve#6.Take the elevator up the last floor and run left to
shutdown valve#7 and then finish valve#8.
For more information on steam reactor,you might want to read steam reactor Part
2.
The Steamwood Administrator
Bincho field:Musician Pianissimeat(near Earth Crest),
Acrobat Sausage(right pipe of Steamwood)
You can go back through the shortcut or go back the same way you came in if you
have not release the bincho field(Musician Pianissimeat)near the Earth crest
through a left side pipe.Also,there is also another bincho field
(Acrobat Sausages)in the right side of the pipe.Once you have both clown and his
partner,acrobat,they will be able to perform a stunt for you.
Bincho Field:Maid Loinette(south of Somnolent,previously block by steam)
Treasure:500Drans(near where you save the maid)
Techniques:Dashing Pierce
Sidequest:Go to south of Somnolent forest where you can't enter previously to
rescue maid.Also,visit the castle and talk to the maid,the 9th person and she
should teach you the dashing pierce technique.Take 500drans from the
treasure.Talk to Acrobat and he will say that he will perform a stunt for you
but every final say has to from Clown.So talk to Clown,the 3rd person and they
perform stunt for you,you will need an orange so that they can perform.I forgot
to tell you.You can only buy orange at the grocery shop in Chapter 3 after you
have saved Tim.So wait until chapter 3 to learn Shish kebab.
Twinpeak Mountain:Searching for Earth Scroll.
Treasures:Longevity Berry
Enemies:Maneater,Magician
Once you have saved Steamwood,return to the village and talk to the mayor.He
will give you a Longevity Berry to boast your HP by 25 and tell you that
Steamwood went berserk because a man with a cape did it and said that the man
with the cape went to Twinpeak mt.The same goes for what you did the other
time.Enter the mountain.Go to the memory box and save your memory there.Go
furthur left and you should have a coversation with Rootrick,the man who has
captured princess.Go back to see if the minku on the left of the cliff is out if
you have not get it.Now here comes the most challenging part.
Climbing Competition
There is nothing much to say.Rootrick will challenge you to the top to get Earth
scroll.It's very easy.Just keep climbing and you will win.When you reached the
top,Musashi will laugh at Rootrick and throw a big stone on him like last time
he did to the steam knight.Rootrick,blame yourself for climbing so slow.
Finding the Crest Guardian
You should have got the first scroll,earth scroll.The scroll will tell you to
kill the Earth guardian to release the earth crest.
Question:How do I go down?There is a big boulder there blocking my way.
Answer:You have to somehow make the big boulder fall.That's when the first use
of Earth scroll comes in.Go to the menu.You will see sword.Choose Earth instead
of normal.Then powered up with R1,then triangle.Jump down from here.
Note:Pls read the scrolls on the basic tactics section
Bincho Field:Doctor(if you have not saved)
Treasures :Rock(at the peak of the twinpeak mt.)
Enemies :Magician,Blue Soldier 1,Green Soldier 3,Herb Plant,Maneater,Red
Soldier 1,Sleepie
Sidequest:Go and collect the doctor if you have not done so.Go to where you met
Jon,the treasure hunter on the top,along the way,you will notice that your raft
is back so you can ride the raft anytime to get doctor if you have not done
so.When you reached there,there will be hovering boulder.Use the power of the
earth to shake loose the suspended boulder.Swing across the large gap by using
jutting pegs in the mountain wall.Climb up to the
mountain top,get the chest(rock)Now you can either climb back down the way that
you came or you can jump over the edge by the waterfall and try to land on the
raft in the middle, it's tricky but a quicker way down.There's rock
(crystal) on the peak of the mountain which you can appraise.Sell it for 2500
Drans.
You'll talk to Jon, the Treasure Hunter when you return,then go back to the pawn
shop owner and let him look at what you found.
Defeating the Earth Guardian
Bincho Field:Knitter Lunchetta(on your way to Hell's valley)
Next go to the castle and talk to old man.When you are done save your game and
get sleep if needed. I recomend that you have lots of cheese,W-Gel and has
already got all the minku in these levels before you go to fight the
guardian.You will have to go back to "Hell's Valley".Note:by the time,you must
have resecued at least 4,if not you can't opened the gate.The four people are
Carpenter Carvey,Mercenary Meitlofe,knight Lardwick and Soldier
Lardwick.Without any of them ,you won't be able to proceed to hell's valley to
fight skullpion.go to hell's valley.Halfway down to hell's valley,you will come
across a bincho field(Knitter Lunchetta) who will tell you about the legendary
cloth.As you go along,use the Earth scroll ability to cause the boulders above
to fall into the pits to acts a stepping stone.Waiting for the dead end are his
four friends.
1st Crest Guardian:Skullpion
Skullipon has five attacks:
Spewing sand :You can avoid this by outrunning the stream and staying
behind it.This is a great time to charge the gauge
bar,providing you are far away from the sand stream.
Ram :He will ram at you sometime.Just move around the area
constantly to avoid.
Tail sweep :It will swing its tail.Hop over it to avoid.
Attack comrades:It will attack your comrades.Before your comrade is
attacked,use Earth scroll to cause Earthquakes.
Ground sweep :This attack consists of sticking its tail in the ground
and making it pop up under Musashi's feet.Keep on moving
once you see it stuck its tail in the dirt.If you get
hit,not only damage but also poison but thanks you can cure
the poison by either using an antidote that you bought from
the store or shaking down antidote from the basket.
Here's the strategy:
Skullpion is smarter than average boss and will occasionally attempts to climb
the walls and attack one of your comrades.If any of them is hurt or injured,they
won't be able to assist you,making transport of items
impossible.Now,your comrades will transport items like bombs,stones,herbs.
Each bomb that hits the boss causes 10 HP and each large stone causes up to 100
HP.Use the Earth scroll ability to cause the items in the basket to tip over and
fall on the boss.After repeatedly of hitting the boss,it will be unconsious and
the core will immediately be revealed.Now,hit the core with lumina and repeat
the procedure over again until it dies.
Tips:You can pick up the large stone that lands on the ground and throw it
at skullpion to cause damage to it.
Minku:The same place where you fought skullpion
Sidequest:After you have defeat the crest guardian,come back to the same spot
where you fought it,there should be a minku.Also,pls return to the Earth crest
through the left pipeline in the steamwood.Use the power of the earth and there
will be a hidden path.The cliff will collapse.Climb up the cliff.You should see
there is another fire crest.There is a Minku there.
Congradulations, you have completed chapter 2.Remember to buy the last action
figure for the series 2,that is Skullpion,of course.
____________________________________________________________________________
Chapter3:Saving Tim
Technique:Crosswise Cut
Sidequest:When you visit Knight Lardwick in the castle,he will now teach you
crosswise Cut.
Vambees Roaming the Village
Once the crest guardian has been defeated you will return to the village and you
will see the mayor and Hotelo outside the general store.Notice that all doors
are closed and the chilling music sense an ominous feeling.During night time,you
might see vambees roaming around the village but rest assured they can't hurt
you.Ignore them.It appears that defeating earth guardian has set these creatures
free.After the conversation with the Mayor and Hotelo,
you should learn that Tim has contacted a disease and is on the verge of turning
into a vambee if he doesn't get the remedy.The two items that needed to make the
remedy are Misteria and Aqualin.The mayor will sent you to take Misteria from
the underground lake while Hotelo will be sent to Twinpeak mountain from a
spring at the top of the mountain to get Aqualin.Misteria is a flower that
blooms in underground mine tunnel between 3.00a.m to 7.00a.m whereas Aqualin is
the water from the peak of the mountain.First,to enter the mine,you will need
the key from the man who lives in the windmill.
Note:Vambees are half-vampire,half zombies developed by the Thirstquencher
empire.Anyone who gets bitten by a vambee will be turned into a vambee
after some ime.The only way is to make Grillin's traditional remedy to
cure it and the ingredients are Misteria and Aqualin.
Note:During this time when Hotelo is at the inn,visit the inn and choose the
second option to talk to Motelo.Motelo is Hotelo's brother and he looks
after the inn temporary when Hotelo is away.
Getting the Mine Key
Treasure:Mine key(from Wid)
Wid has got some information about Misteria but unfortunately,Wid is a late
sleeper and only wakes up at odd times of the day.He will open the door very
late at night,usually around midnight.Wid will not open the door until 2300 or
at 11 pm.For your info,you can find him inside the windmill between 11pm to
11am.You have to wait up early in the morning.Knock on the door by pressing
square and he should come out of the house.After a conversation,he should give
you the key.Next,open the door that is locked in the village near the restaurant
and go inside the mine.
Inside the Mines
Bincho Field:Carpenter Dicey(bottom middle of the conveyor belt room)
Knight Brisket(top-left of conveyor belt room)
Enemies :B-eater,Sphere Bat,
Turn right at the intersection of the wooden sign,follow it,climb the pole past
the wooden Toad Stool.In the next area,leads to wooden walkways and spinning
contraptions where you have to cross the ferris wheels.It requires some timing
and is easy.Hop onto one of the passing platforms,time yourself the jump so that
you are high enough to land safely.Missing the platform,
will send Musashi tumbling onto the black void below,causing some damage.
Make the neccessary jumps. Next,you will come to the big fan.Warning,do not go
to the other end if you have not collected Misteria.This is the way to the
exit.Hover above the fan and slip through the blades when the fan stops
spinning.Don't worry,the blades will not casue any damage.Jump down the fan to
the underground.Save your memory on the memory box.Go the left path.Don't go the
right path.When you enter the room,you will see many conveyor belts and some
wooden platform.Note that there are two bincho fields in this room,one on the
top left of the screen(Knight Brisket)and another one in the bottom
middle.(Carpenter Dicey)Save them.Now,run and jump.Don't fall.Musashi can't fly
either.
Tips:If Musashi is tired,he will have an extremely difficult time jumping
against these fast-moving conveyor belt.It's best to relieve himself by
giving him some mint and Hi-mint or take a short nap.Don't force
yourself too much or you will end up wasting your HP.Trust me,it will
be much more easy after taking a nap than when you are very tired.
Collecting Misteria.
Bincho field:Chief Gravie(one of the surrounding 4 islands)
Cook Mary-Nade(in the centre big island)
Minku :One of the surrounding 4 islands
Treasures :Old Glove(one of the surrounding 4 islands)
Misteria(in the centre big island)
In the middle will be a big island and surrounding the island will be 4 small
islands.Use the lilly pad,get to the middle island to get Misteria.
You can sleep until it blooms.Bring one to two antidote.There is a risk of
gettting poison.In the middle of the island,there is also another bincho
field.(Cook Mary-Nade)You have to use the lilly pad to get to it.There are 3
surrounding islands.Once after taking the misteria,jump on the lilly pad.
There are chest(Old gloves,i think),another bincho field(Chief Gravie),
and a minku.Capture the minku once your HP runs low.This should regain all your
HP.Next,exit and you are ready to leave.Exit the conveyer belt.If you have not
rescued them,pls save them now.Go back to the memory box.leave your memory
here.There will be a spot for you to climb up to the fan.Next,go to the right
side with the help of the fan.This is the way to exit the mine.
Now,exit your way.It's easy and you will make your way up.The exit is at the
top-left of the screen.Be careful,don't fall into the binchotite mine or you
will be poison.Ride up the elevator.Remember to jump carefully.Give the misteria
to the mayor and the mayor will ask you to find Hotelo.
Technique:Tenderize
Sidequest:Go to the castle and talk to the 21st person,Knight Brisket to
learn another fighting technique,Tenderize.The doctor is no #37 if you need to
restore your health.He will give you SP-recover.
Finding Hotelo and collecting Aqualin
Treasure:Aqualin(peak of the Twinpeak mt),Rock(if not collected)
Enemies :Refer to above
Next,go to Twinpeak mountain.Make your way up as usual and you should find
Hotelo in the cave.He is in despair and that Tim has only 12 hours left before
he turns into the vampire.In the game,12 hours mean 12 minutes so you will have
to move fast.Hotelo is disappointed with himself for not being able to save
Tim.He said that it is too dangerous to go forward and it is fated that Tim will
be turned into a vambee.There will be an option for you to choose.Choose the
first option and the 12 minutes time will appear on the top-right side of the
screen.Follow the same route where you meet Jon.You will see a boulder and use
your Earth scroll to shake loose the suspended boulder if you hasn't.Then swing
across the large gap by using the jutting pegs and climb up to the top of the
mountain.For your information,Aqualin is the pond at the top of the mountain
where you obtain the rock from the treasure.If you have not collected the
rock,you can collect it from the chest now by jumping onto the ledge near the
pole to reach to the other side of the pond to collect Aqualin.if you have
collected rock,don't bother
jumping the ledge.This is the quickest way to get Aqualin.Just climb up the pole
and go near the pond to get Aqualin.Upon reaching the top,get aqualin.
Next,take back aqualin to Hotelo and Tim is safe.Don't bother to kill the
enemy.Conserve your time.When you return to the village,you will directly speak
to the mayor and Hilda grocery shop.In return for saving Tim,you will receive an
orange for free and the grocery shop will be opened.
Note:If you failed to give Aqualin to Hotelo within 12 minutes,you can still
take Aqualin and return to the village and the mayor will tell you that it is
too late but he will also try to make use of the Aqualin and Misteria to make
remedy and save Tim.However,you won't receive an orange for free and the grocery
shop won't be opened until the next chapter at Chapter 4.You
will have to wait until Chapter 4 to buy an orange to learn Shish kebab.
Fear not,Tim will be saved by chapter 4 because by chapter 4 when you defeat
the Relic Keeper,Tim will return to normal.Hotelo blames himself(at Chap 3) for
not being able to save Tim.Feeling guilty,he decided to leave the village and
left the inn and Mint under the care of his brother,Motelo.
Noone knows where Hotelo has gone to.Motelo will say something like "It is a
shame that Mint's father left the village".Everytime you enter the inn,you will
see Motelo instead of Hotelo.If you managed to give Aqualin to Hotelo within 12
minutes,Motelo will not appeared at the inn.However,it doesn't affect the game's
ending.
Tips:You will noticed a cliff before where the sleepie is.Climb up there to
reach to the top to save time.When you get Aqualin,you can also jump
down from the same spot at the cliff to save time.
Advice:It's best that you give Aqualin to Hotelo on time.Getting a free orange
might not be a big deal,but think about this,the grocery shop will be closed for
the rest of Chapter 3 and when you are inside the restaurant basement,you
definitely need many healing HP items like C-Drinks,S-revive,
Mints which are extremely useful.The bakery shop is another shop that sells
healing items but most of the items there will spoil after several days and most
doesn't healed a lot of HP.Besides,you get an orange earlier to learn Shish
Kebab technique earlier which could be really helpful.I mean it!the only
difference is that if you fail to give Aqualin,the inn will be replaced by
Motelo instead of Hotelo.There isn't much difference and poor Mint having lose
her father at an early age,do you bear to see her so sad?And besides,if you
fail,all your healing items will depend on Yogurt,which only heals 50HP and 50BP
when milk is spoil after few days in you inventory.It doesn't help you but only
makes the game more tedious.
Warning:Try it yourself because i managed to give Aqualin to Hotelo.
Credits:From Kevin Yuanfor telling about Motelo story.
Techniques:Shish Kebab
Sidequest:Now,you have an orange in your inventory so go and talk to clown
to learn a new technique
The Vambees
Next,talk to the girl in the bakery,Jam,chat with her by choosing the second
option and she will talk about her father,Baker Towst going to the bar at 1800
or 6pm.Check your items,save,take a nap until 6pm.Then comes to the restaurant
and you will talk to Jam's father,Towst and he mentioned that he missed the pork
chop in the restaurant.He mentioned that the restaurant is closed,the shop owner
is missing and the waitress is at the inn.Go to the inn and talk to the
waitress,Wanda in room 205 and Macho in room 206.Now,go back to the restaurant
until 2300.You will see ghosts coming out from the restaurant.Run inside before
the the door is closed.Check the counter and enter the underground basement.
Inside the Underground Basement
You will noticed many soda bottles scattered around.Move furthur down and you
will see Mannick,the restaurant owner.He will tell you that that the door with 4
eyes will lead to the boss.You will have to find a way to open the door.Visit
the four doors with one eye.Once you obtain the blue eye,the eye will open
up.Collect four and the door will open.Mannick will restore your health by
giving you a cake.There's a memory box so check it out.I will first explain the
first room from his left.
Tips:Even if Mannick's cake can take care of your low HP and BP but it
doesn't have any effects on Musashi's tiredness.You will need to have
some mints.
Room 1.(to the left):Bowler Plant Maze
Bincho Field:Mercenary Potrowst(crackled wall)
Treasures :Shield(crackled wall)
Odd Hat(crackled wall)
Enemies :Bowler,Vambee,Fire vambee
Dodge the huge bowling seeds coming from the bowlers and reached the end.
Absorb the bowling skills from the bowler.Consumes 10BP.There is a crackled room
behind the bowler next to the wall that you can climb.There is a treasure in
this crackled wall.(Shield)Use holes to avoid being hit by the bowling ball.You
will be in a room with a bowler,break the wall to the right with a bowling
ball.Go and stand on the square and bowl down the vambee to cool down the
floor.The floor is very hot and you need to bowl the vambees to advance.Go
through the door at the end, get the bincho field,(Mercenary Potrowst),take the
treasure(Odd Hat) on the right wall by bowling,come out and take the elevator
up.There will be an eye who will splash fire against you.Use Lumina Rotation by
holding R1 when full and then triangle to smash it to pieces.Go into the
room,get another bincho field,(Mercenary Stue)and take the eye orb.Restore your
health by talking to Mannick.
Tips:The bowl ability can be fustrated to use becasue it consumes a lot of
BP,10 per bowl.How do you ensure that your bowling balls hit the
correct target?All right,you will noticed a meter on the far right side
of the ball.The pointer will keep on moving from left to right.If you
press circle when the pointer is on the right side of the meter,the
ball will curve to the right and similar for the left side.It's best to
press circle when the pointer is at the center of the meter to ensure
that every shot is a straight.
Treasures:Old Sword,500Drans,Old Cloth(crackled wall)
Sidequest:Once you have the skill to bowl,go to room 3 and 4.Don't enter.
Look around and you will see a crackled wall.Bowl the wall to get the 3 hidden
chest inside.i think the cloth(when appraised becomes L-cloth)is also one of the
three chests.

sword to attack or avoid it.It will do up to 40 to 90 damage.Go down and
exit.Avoid the touching the glowing blue ball(Wisp)but use it as a source of
light.Use the poles to advance.Get the bincho field.(Bailiff Jerky)Go back to
the beginning and take the left path.Kill the vambees and entered the
room.Instead of coming to a room with poles you will have missing floor
panels.Get through and take the right teleportation.make your way and you will
come to another room with 2 teleportation circles.This time,take the left
one.Walk furthur and you will come to another room ,again with two
teleportation.Take the left one and go up to get the eye orb.
Remember to take the powder.
Teleport:Right,left,left.
*Taking the alternate one will teleport you back to the exit.
Tips:If you are good,you can assimilate the Lamp bats to learn firefly so
you can light your way.Also,if you absorbed B.O from the vambees,the
bats and lamp bats won't attack you temporary.Avoid the enemies at all
cost in the darkened room as the darkness will put you to a very
disadvantage situation.
Room 3(left side of the other end.):Fire Maze
Bincho Field:Librarian Brisketta(in the second room)
Soldier Hanky-Flanky(at the fire maze in the bottom screen)
Treasures :Old Pipe(at the fire maze)
Enemies :Cursefire,Flying vambee,Fire Vambee,Vambee
One of the greatest challenges in the maze is crossing the rotating blocks.
The first two rooms is easy but gets more and more tougher in the later
room.Practise in the first two rooms so that you are prepared in the later
room.Jump across the rotating blocks in the first two rooms,get the bincho field
(Librarian Brisketta)in the second one.You will go through a couple of more
rooms with rotating blocks.There will be a room with swinging blades.
Avoid getting hit.The next room will have the blades,rotating blocks,and a
vambee.You will come to a series a of planks, go far right to get a ball to
restore your BP.Go back left to the get another one and go to the stone
landing.Follow it around to the rotating block and keep going down and get
the bincho field(Hanky-Flanky)and heart,jump on the block,go right to get the
chest(Old Pipe),go down and get the heart and to exit.This room will have
smaller landings,some swinging blades,and cursefire.Jump carefully.Good luck!The
eye orb is in the next room.
Tips:The rotating blocks can be fairly easy to hop across by jumping against
the direction they are turning.You won't fall off a block that is
turning sideways if you hop across in the opposite direction.Just
remain steady and jump onto the side facing upwards whenever the block
is turning over.
Room 4:Ghost Maze
Bincho Field:Carpenter Cubey(in one of the maze)
knight Chucks(the secret path beneath the circle)
Treasures :Helmet(in one of the maze)
Enemies :Lone Mist
Phew!This is the final one.Restore your HP and BP by talking to Mannick.Jump
across, go up and get pass the vambees. Run straight through the next two rooms
avoiding the enemies.THe door will remain shut until you can move the blocks to
the squares.The first one is easy.The second room,Top to top right,middle to
bottom left, bottom to top left.Top to top right, middle to bottom left, bottom
to top left.There will be a room with falling and sliding blocks,be careful.You
will see a ghost.Tips:Use fusion to steal sublime skill from it.Consumes
8BP.Your soul can float around temporary to look for chests.later,when you
walk,it should be in complete darkness.You can't see the path.Use sublime to get
a look of the place.Try to follow a certain pattern.Do the same in the next few
rooms to get a chest(Helmet) and release a bincho field.(Carpenter Cubey)Now,you
will come to the end before taking the last blue eye.You will see a circle
somewhere.Jump from this circle to the bottom path.there is a hidden room to
another bincho field.
(Knight Chucks)use the teleport to return to where the circle was.Go to the left
path and take the eye orb.
Collecting the next legendary armor,L-belt
Treasures:Old Belt
Go to the door with the four eyes.You should see Mannick missing.Open the door
and you will find Mannick inside.Go to him and he will say that he bought this
restaurant because he heard about the treasure inside.When he opened the
chest,he found a old belt.Mannick was very disappointed and thought he could
struck rick.he gave the belt to Musashi.Next,go into the castle and talk to the
36th person,the knight.He should teach you his fencing technique,the Desperado
Attack.Now,go back to the pawn shop and appraise this belt and it should turn
into the legendary belt.You can now make double jumps by pressing X twice.
Technique:Desperado Attack
Sidequest:Talk to Knight Chucks in the castle and he will teach you
Desperado Attack.
Well
After you come out of the shop,the restaurant owner,Mannick,says that he is very
sorry for what he has done and would like to make up to the villagers by opening
his restaurant and will do his best to make the restaurant the best in the
village.(Hey!That's only one restaurant in the village.So you could consider
yourself to be the best.)he would talk that he went to the well to collect water
but the well is dried up.You would have to find a rope to get down to the well.
Bincho Field:Weaver Dineretta(from the third log)
Treasures :L-glove or L-quilt
Enemies :Refer to above
Sidequest:Remember i told you about the third log in the Twinpeak mountain that
you cut down?There is a bincho field on the right side of the pole which can
only be accessed after you got the double jump.Now,go to there,
climb up to the top of the pole and jump to the right.You should see it as you
jump.Don't panic if you cannot jump to the other side for the first time.if
Musashi is tired,just let him rest until tiredness reaches 20%.
Musashi would jump slightly better if he is not tired compared to when he is
very tired.Jump over and saved weaver.Note:at this point of the game,you should
have cloth which when you appraise becomes the legendary cloth.Talk to weaver in
the castle and she will make Option 1)a quilt for you or Option 2)glove.I choose
quilt instead of glove and i got another legendary armor.
This is a must.The effects are every time,you sleep you will regain both HP and
BP,instead of gaining HP and losing BP and the best parts are it regains at
twice the normal speed and you can make tiredness to 0%.If you sleep in the inn
or at your room,you will be able to have tiredness from 0%.however,
if you are sleeping outside the inn,or anywhere,the min tiredness can goes up to
20% and won't dropped furthur down.if it is below 20%,when you are sleeping
outside the inn or room,your tiredness % will stay and when you get up ,it will
rise up to 20 and above.Note:that it will take weaver three days to make.Collect
the legendary quilt after three days.If you choose gloves,
you will get the Legendary Gloves which will increses critical attack %.
I advise you to choose Legendary Quilt as it will help you in many ways during
adventure and you can save a lot of money from buying Mint,however,
L-quilt is useless when you reach soda fountain at the final stage.Don't worry
about that first.
Getting a Rope
The rope can be obtained from the church.the gate is locked and you will have to
climb over the fence.You should see the father sleeping outside.he says that the
church to the inside is locked and he can't get in.Also,the church bell is lost
aand he will ask you to find it.Because he was afraid of the ghost that would
come in,he has locked the gate.He says that he has heard noises coming out from
the church at 2am.So come back at 2am.he will let you climb on his back and you
will have to jump inside the church from the roof.
Inside the Church.
Enemies:Vambee Soldier
After a conversation with Bubbles,you will have to fight a tons of vambee
soldiers. Survive the battle until sunrise and you will be able to get the rope.
Tips:You can also consider use Earth Scroll ability to stun them for a while.Use
lumina and keep attacking.If possible,throw them out to the outer ring.Try and
perfect your crosswise technique.
Inside the Well
Treasures:Angel-Shaped Statue
Get the water scroll.You should learn the water element.You can create a shield
of bubbles to protect you from fires or floats on water temperory or bubbling
rapid bubbles by pressing square or triangle.Find the bell and keep tossing to
the exit at the northern reservoir.You will noticed that it leads to the
mine.Note you can't climb up the rope while carrying the bell because it is too
heavy.Notice that is a minku there.You can't get it now but later.
The only way to exit is to go the underground tunnel.When you get back to the
village,you will get an Angel-Shaped Statue that is the key to the fire
god.Note:When throwing the bell,make sure you don't toss it into the water or
too close to the exit.If Musashi leaves the exit without holding the church
bell,it will get reset to the room's entrance or to th original starting point.
Treasures :200Drans(If not collected)
Bincho Field:Doctor Tung(If you don't have)
Minku :Between the first and second wooden bridge in Somnolent
Left of where Doctor Tung is
Enemies :Refer to above
Sidequest:If you don't have the Doctor,this is the shortcut way to get him
without riding the raft.Go to the twinpeak until you reached the three
poles.Don't JUMP.Use water shield to go left of the water and you should be able
to rescue Doctor.Go furthur left again in the water and you will see Minku.If
you have not collected the 200Drans in Hell's valley near where the Bracelet
is,when you reached the entrance of twinpeak mt,simply use water scroll and
float to the right to climb up the cliff.Go to Somnolent forest where the second
bridge is.Use water scroll ability and there is a minku between the first bridge
and the second bridge.
Tips:Once you have the water scroll,take some time to float in the waters in
Twinpeak mt and explore the place.Once you have water scroll,you can travel by
shortcut but i don't want to tell you now.Explore it yourself.
Finding the use of the Statue.
Wait till midnight until zombies come out of the restaurant.Go into the
restaurant underground basement.Walk straight down.You will notice that there is
a door with big gaps that you can't reached.Before you jump,
remember to leave your memory in the memory box.Go back up to the entrance but
don't go out.Run straight down.The higher you run,keeps dashing,the faster you
move and jump over the big gap using double jump to open the door.Of all the
levels up to now,i find here to have the most difficult jumps.Ther's
more.Remember to watch your tiredness %.if lucky a few tries,
you might be able to jump over.if not,keep trying.Good luck.This is the only
way.Be sure to have tons of C-Drinks and at least one S-revive and a cheese that
has been with you for a long time.Sell away unwanted items and buy HP and BP
recovery item.
Defeating the 2nd Crest Guardian
Ist Room
The Ist room is the easiest of all.Use the Water to create shields of bubbles
around to float on the water.Go to the door.
2nd Room
It gets more and more difficult.Just jump.But two things to take note.
Remember to watch your tiredness %.if your tiredness % is high,you might not be
able to jump farther than you did.Second note is to have shield of bubbies
around you before you jump just in case you fall.The shield will protect you and
you would not get hurt from the fire,however the shield will disappear.And if
you failed to jump over without the shield,you will get over 20 damage.Note that
this shield only protects you from fire,the bats will still be able to hurt
you.Jump and reached for the exit.
3rd Room
Bincho Field:Taster Salmonelli
Enemies :CurseFire,Vambee
This is more challenging and of course,the toughiest.Jump keep moving.Remember
there is a bincho field.(Taster Salmonelli)
Make sure you collect them.
Hints and tips:
1)Be sure to have the water shield with you all the time to protect you from
fire.
2)Along the way,you will have to jump from block-to-block.The block will
sink when you jumps onto them(weight,of course.)So quickly jump to the
other block.
3)Along the way,you will see cursefire coming toward you.Run away to a good
position and use rapid bubble shooting to extinguish the fires.It can
cause quite a decent damage.
4)You should see a rotating blocks with pits.Avoid getting too close.watch
the pattern.
5)There are 2 pit holes here.Jump onto them and it will do around 20 damage
on you.Use double jump to jump over.Be carefull.
4th Room
This is the one of the easier.You will noticed four flames.Use bubbles to
extinguish the flames from a corner.Once each flame is extinguish,it becomes
darker.Once the four flames are extinguish,the door to the battle of the 2nd
crest guardian will opened up.
2nd Crest Guardian:The Relic keeper
Musashi will laugh at it because the ceilings have started to collapse and call
it a loser.Now,the main strategy to attack.
You will noticed about a fire demon who will keep attacking you.Use the
water,create a shield round you and keeps using bubbles against it.keep running
from side to side while using the rapid bubbles.When it suddenly turns blue,he
will keep attacking you.It will does quite a lot of damage.
Many hits on the fire demon will cause the ceiling to continue collapse until
the Relic keeper gets knocked out.During this time,his blue torso will
be revealed.Quickly,go to menu,choose normal and use jump,then lumina.Hold R1
first,jump then prss triangle.This should give him some damage.Remember to
attack fast because after some time,the relic keeper will wake up,so does the
fire demon.Repeat the procedure over again,keep shooting bubbles at the fire
demon,until Relic keeper gets knocked out again,then use lumina to attack its
torso.Three hits in its torso and he will be gone.
Congradulations,you have completed Chapter 3.

items first and appraise any items that you have find.
Inside the Well
Treasures:Used boots(inside the well),
Old shirt(inside the well),
Armor(inside the tunnel)
Minku :Inside the well on a ledge
You will see the water crest glowing.Go there and use the water scroll.The water
to the cave will be emptied while the other side(where the rope is) will
rise.Then enter Ed and Ben.There will be a conversation and Musashi overheard
their conversation and they are the thieves behind the stolen bell in the

Enemies :Refer to above
Sidequest:Go into the Somnolent Forest.Remember there is a water crest there and
a chest in the water that you can't get it.You can take it now.Use the water
power while standing on the water crest.The water level should completely dried
up.Now,you can go down and collect the chest.It should be glasses,i suppose.Go
to the prawn shop and appraise the glasses.Suprisingly, it turns out to be the
next legendary armor,the legendary goggles.
Second Task Assignment.
This time,you must talked to the mayor's wife.Talk to her and she should mention
Mr lands who wants the Gondola to be repaired.First,you will need 3
carpenters,and has to go into the scrap depository to obtain the Gondola
Gizmo.Now,talk to the Wid,the man living in the windmill,then go to the castle
and talk to the three carpenters,CarpentA,CarpentB,CarpentC.They should be the
13th,18th and 27th person.But make sure,by now you should have save them.If
not,you have to look for them so you can advance.Make sure you talk to them,if
not you have to come out and go over again.Each of them will give you a
description of the Gondola Gizmo.The people are Carpenter Carvey,
Carpenter Cubey,and Carpenter Dicey.
First:Gold-rimmed and refining
Second:Looks like a wheel
Third:Has four calculation holes.
Scrap Depository
Enemies:Cure Worm,Toadstool,Sphere bat,B-eater
First,go into the mine again and reached until where the fan is.Jump down the
fan to where the memory box is.Leave your memory in the box.Take the right
path.Go furthur.You need to jump over.You can't jump over to the other side
until you have the double jump.Don't panic if you can't jump over the first
time.Keep trying.Make sure you have at least one antidote with you because if
you fall down or comes too close in contact with the blue toad stool,you will be
poisoned and cannot run.Tips:There is a cure worm.Absorb its technique to cure
poison and to regain speed.You should reached the room at the end.There are a
total 4 wheels but which one is it?
Question:Which wheel is it?
Answer:Many think it's the first left and the last left because there are four
holes from the middle.But in actual fact,if you count the middle,they should
have five holes.So,look for a gold-rimmed wheel between the second and third
from the left and the winner is the third one from the left.Take the third wheel
and return back to the village.Remember,you can only carry
one at a time and if you take the wrong wheel,you will have to come here over
again.
The village is in fire.
After returning to the castle,talk to them and you will go to sleep.When you
wakes up,you have found that you have overslept and immediately rush out to see
Mrs Govern.Surprisingly,the whole village is in fire.Now,use your water scrolls
to put out the eight flames.Create a shield round you and hold square to shoot
bubbles continously at the flames.The flames should get smaller and slowly
extinguished.Remember,the fire will grow bigger and bigger so act fast.Once you
have put out the fire,Mrs Govern will talk to you.She said that someone saw two
thieves on the roof of the church.And after a while,a fire started roof of the
church.And who are the main prime suspect? Naturally,you will suspect it's Ed
and Ben again who is out there to steal the church bell again but you will know
later on.In the morning,
talk to the Mayor and his wife,you should get the thirstquencher calender and
rock salt.
Here are the location of the 8 flames
Farmer McRice's house
Breadshop(x2)
Church(x2)
Farmer Lacter's house
Mayor's house.
There are no time limit so,don't hurry.Relax!
Saving the princess and Defeating Kojiro
Bincho Field:Artisan Teebone(Island of Dragon)
Treasure :500Drans
Enemies :Refer to above,Slug Rock
Go to Somnolent Forest.Absorb 'hop' from the hopper and hop across the spikes.On
your way stop on the bridge before you get to the "Sleepy" mushrooms and use
your water shield to float left on the river to a spot with a minka on it.You
will reached the sign 'meandering forest' but don't enter the forest.Go right
and there will be a giant snail.Use rock salt to shrink the giant snail.You can
go now.You will see a bincho field and you will rescue Artisan Teebone,the
blacksmith who agrees to temper your fusion sword.Remember to talk to him when
you returned to the castle.There are low and high tides in this area.If the tide
is high,you won't be able to get anywhere.For your information,high tide is
between 7pm and 7am.Don't come between this time.Wait for low tide and the water
crest will appear on the surface in the centre of the lake.When this occurs,use
your water scroll to cross over the lake and use water scroll in the water
crest.The water will lowered.Get the fire scroll beneath the water crest and
there's a chest containing 500Drans on the left side.You will fight Kojiro.The
princess will be there to use as hostage to make Musashi fight with him.Defeat
him and you will save the princess.Defeating Kojiro is very simple.Just use your
normal attacks while dodging his attack.Also,use whatever techniques like
crosswise that you have larn to inflict great damage on him.
Tips:You can assimilate kojiro's fence techniques
Credits:for telling me about assimilate Kojiro's fence
techniques,however,i have not tried it before.Try it yourself.
Question:Before you read furthur,pls ask yourself,would the thirstquencher
empire return princess to you so easily?Think about this.Is is going to be a
trap?I'll not going to tell you and don't READ below.It may ruin the game story.
At the castle
You will be ask to investigate the thefts(Ed and Ben).Remember to talk to
artisan,the blacksmith to temper your sword.Next,talk to the three mercernary
who are investigating the case.Each of them will give you a clue.the thief's
hideout is past the meandering forest at the frozen palace but the problem is
how to reach the frozen palace.These are the clues to frozen palace:
Mercenary Meitlofe:The hideout is in meandering forest.The clue is "Duh...About
the knight...don't worry about the direction you're facing.Go straight(up)."
Mercenary Potrowst reads his coded message to you:"Mercenary Forest-4 way path-
Gold,Knight,Knight,Knight,Bishop"
Mercenary Stue:"Left,Right,Right,Left,straight ahead..."
Q:What do all these directions mean?
Answer:Mercenary Potrowst suggests you read more about the Shogi in the library
to find out what the clue means.You can now ask Scrible Shanky after you have
saved Libararian Brisketta in the restaurant basement.It refers to certain
movements like a chess.
What is Shogi?
Shogi is a favourite pastime of this realm,similar chess.Each player has one
King,Rock,and Bishop,two each of Gold,silver,knight,Lance and nine pawns for a
total of 20 pieces.each player uses strategic methods to outwit his opponent in
order to win the game.
The Gold:It can move one space in any direction,except diagonally.
The Knight:It can move two spaces up and one space right or left.
The Lance:Can be moved any number of spaces up.
All right,i have type everything that you will read about shogi in the
library.You may like to go to the library and look for a clue first before
attempting to read the directions below to the thieves'hideout.It could really
be a spoiler and the clue now really makes no existence if you already know the
directions.It's pretty challenging.For those lazybums,i have saved you quite a
lot of time by giving you the directions.Can you really figure out the clue
yourself?The fun of gaming lies in your own exploration and discovering new
things on your own.It's up to you to decide.
Enemies:Refer to Above
Just follow this when you reached the meandering forest.You reach a wooden
sign.From there on,follow the directions below.And remember to save before you
go.It will be tough later on.
1)Go left path and you will see a huge rock.
2)Go to the upper path two times
3)You will see two rocks,one big at the top and smaller one on the
right.Take the right path by the smaller rock.
4)There should be four trees.Go to the upper path two times.
5)it will start to snow.Then take the right path.
6)there will be a huge rock and a tree.Go to the upper path two more times.
7)Then take the left path.
8)You should see a huge rock and a tree which looks exactly like the
previous one.Go to the upper path four more times.
Congradulations for those who has been figuring out how to pass the forest.
You should now reached the frozen palace.Enter it.
Tips:if you are lost,take the south entrance to return to the beginning and
start over again.

Remember to leave your memory.
Enemies that you will encounter in the palace:
Cool Plant:Shoot frozen bullets at you,causing you to freeze.Use the normal
ways that you attack the plants in the forest.Just beware of his 3-way
shots,which does more damage than the normal plants in the forest.
Tips:If you shoot some flames using the fire scroll at it,you will temporary
paralyse it,causing it not able to shoot frozen 3-way shot at you.If you are
caught in his frozen 3-way shot,press any button repeatedly to warm yourself and
prevent freezing.
Mapper:Use the same way to attack but be careful,don't go near it or you
will be poisoned.You can also use fire attack at him.
Penguin:They sure look small and wore a knight suit,i suppose.Use
normal attack or fire.
Haya Wolf:Looks like wolf with some karate skills.Beware of his D-Kick.
Slow guy:This guy moves very slow,quite big but has lots of HP.Stand a
distance away from him and keep attacking using lumina.When too
close,he can toss you away but is actually very helpful during some
parts of the game.You will know why later.
Copycat:He looks like Musashi but will generate electricity around him.
So,don't stay too near him.Plus,he can mimic your every move.If you move back
one step,he will move back one step too.You jump,he also jumps.The only way to
defeat him is to use long range attack so use fire.Stay away from a
distance and don't move while using flames.By not moving,he will also not move.
Stomp Golem:This guy can't be defeated.It looks like a gong and it will fall
from the ceilings when you come too close.Don't go near.It can cause up to 70
damage HP.
For more stratgies on enemies,pls refer to the bestiary.This is only part of
it.More strategies await you at the bestiary section.
Enemies Absorb-spell Description
Copycat Clone A decoy time bomb.
Haya wolf D-Kick A very powerful kick actually.
Penguin nil nil
Stomp Golem Steel Creates an very strong armor that
can protects you from spikes.
Mapper Map Maps the entire place.
Slowguy Hurl Ability to toss
Getting the Red eye.
Bincho Field:Chef Julienne(R1 side room)
Treasures :Red Eye
Tips:You may like to assimilate the map ability from the mappers at the entrance
area.it cost 8BP but very helpful if you lost your way.
Enter the first left door.There is a left blue eye door which you can't enter
now.Go to the other door.You will see two penguin and two falling ice
blocks.Don't bother to attack the two penguins.If you kill both,there won't be
any ice block coming down.When the blocks fell down,quicky jumps over to to any
of the block and the block will carry you to the other side.But half
way before reaching the other side,the block will fall into the big hole and you
will have to jump over to the other side.Beware,because you are standing on ice
blocks and the floor is very slippery.Too much movement is likely to make you
fall.So,position yourself as soon you jump onto the pole and wait for a chance
to jump over.By the time,you should have already mastered double jumps.Look at
the penguin on the other side doing the same thing.Go to the door and you will
see two doors.The right door will lead you to the bincho field(Chef Julienne) on
the R1 side room.
Sidequest:You have saved Chef Julienne.When you return to the castle
anytime,talk to cook A(Cook Mary-Nade) and she should say they have already
harvesting the rice.Now,you can buy riceball(heals 150HP and BP.) at the grocery
store.
Continued:Don't jump down now and returned and go to another door.In here,
you will meet many Penguin.Go furthur and read the sign.It should says may the
lonely have victory.
Question:what does that mean?
Answer:It means you have to be alone in this room,so kill all the penguin in
the room and there will be a chest.The treasure inside is the red
eye.
Getting the Blue Eye.
Bincho Field:Alchemist Leanman
Treasures :Blue Eye
Once you have the red eye,exit and go to the main hall.You can also jump down
from where the bincho field(the place where you save chef Julienne)) is to R1 to
avoid any unnecessary jumpings of the ice blocks.Go the L2 which is the red eye
door.On your way,you will face copycat,cool plants and slow guy.There are
icicles on the floor that can hurt you if you come too close but you can also
melt them by using fire.Go to the end where you will only see an cool plant and
the slow guy.Take a heart there to regain some of your HP.Kill the cool plants.
Question:Help me!I'll stuck.Where should i go now?I can't reach the stairs
up there and they appears to be no other way.
Answer:There is a way to reach the stairs up there.First,kill the cool plant
Next,lure the slow guy near to the corner near the staircase and let
him come close to you.He will toss you high up in the air and you can
jump over to the staircase.Go into the next room.Now you know why i
say slow guy's tossing technique is useful.You will enter a maze.The
enemies here are only Haya Wolves and Stomp Golems.Take the bincho
field(Alchemist Leanman) in the maze.Make your way to the left side
wall
Bincho Field:Butcher Chops(after Spikes)
Enemies:Spikes
Sidequest:First,go to the far right side of the maze.When you enter,you will run
into barricade of spikes.Before entering,you must absorb stomp golem and learn
steel.Now,activate the steel and you will be able to run over to the other side
and take a bincho field.(Butcher Chops)Then return.You can take the easy way
back by just jumping down from where you are or go all the back through the
maze.
Continued:Go into the far left side of the maze.Enter and read the sign.it
should say may the unhurt have victory.So kill all the copycat without getting
hurt.Use the long range fire attack against them.There will be a chest.Open the
chest and it's the blue eye.
Getting the Green eye.
Bincho Field:Janitor Sloppy-Joe(stacked ice),
Musician Al Forte(in the maze)
Treasures :Red Shoes(LUD),
B-Undies(stairs),
E-Undies(in the maze),
Green Eye
Go L1.Inside,there is a blue eye door.Open the blue eye door.Get the bincho
field.(Janitor Sloppy-Joe)There are two ice blocks,one big and the other smaller
and a stair case.Jump from the smaller block to the bigger block,
then to the staircase. Be careful,the ice block is slippery.You will have to
make your jumps carefully.Go up and you will see an cool plant there.kill it and
go to the next door.You will see an copycat and a few slowguy.Kill the copycat
and jump over until you reached to the other side. Remember,don't go near the
slowguy as they might toss you and you will have to start all over again.Go out
and you will reached LUD.Take the chest and it turned out to be an Old Shoes.Go
back to the town and appraise the old shoe.It becomes the Legendary Shoes.You
can now walk on slippery ice block without falling.
Note:if you have the Legendary Goggles,your old shoes will immediately be
appraise so you can save the trip from going back to the village.Then go to R2.
With the Legendary Shoes,you can now walk up the stairs.take the chest on the
other side.(B-undies)Go into the door and you will come to a maze with lots of
big ice blocks.There is a bincho field(Musician Al Forte)
on the upper-left side of the screen as well as a chest(E-Undies).Go to the top
left and there is a smaller ice block that you can jump onto it with an heart on
it.In the middle,is the green eye door.Once you get to the far right,be sure to
absorb the copycat to learn clone.Now,go into the room and you will see
slowguy.Lure Slowguy into the circle.When he toss you up into the air,quicky use
clone.Run away from the circle.And press circle again to activate the clone.It
will explode and immediately kill slowguy.Take the green eye from the
chest.Now,return and climb the block to make your way to the green door.There is
nothing more in this room and it leads to the blue door in L1.Now,go up the
stairs.The door is frozen so use fire to melt the ice.Then Musashi will use the
three eyes to open the door.
3rd Crest Guardian:Frost Dragon.
Go to the back of the 1st floor to collect a chest.Note:if you are not confident
of beating,go back to the town and stock up your supplies since you should have
already used up nearly your recovery items.If not,proceed up the stairs where
you will come to a door,a memory box and 2 post.Leave your memory here.light up
the 2 post using fire and the door will open up.Upon entering,you will see the
Frost Dragon.Use lumina and hit the glowing spot.
You will be taken to the lower level.You will see some icicles in your path, use
fire,melt them and proceed. When you start your battle,you must know that you
can't defeat the dragon now.keep using fire at him and move around.
After some time,the dragon will start to knock off the right part of the wall
and the left wall starts to collapse.Move as fast as you can to the right.You
will be notified of the collapse by a right arrow and the dragon will
scream.Now,move as fast as you can.if you fall,it's finished and you will have
to start from the memory box again and all your hard-earned Drans will be 50%
gone.As you run,the Dragon will keep knocking down the bridge behind you.Along
the way,there are icicles.Use fire to melt them.Land on and the Dragon will dive
into a hole.Now,it's time to pay back.
Strategy
The Dragon will mainly use four main attack:
Shoots ice ball:You can avoid this ice ball easily by double jump.It costs
about 15 to 20 damage each ball cost
Shoots a large ice beam:There is only one way to avoid.When it shoots from
the beam from the left to right,immediately run to the most top-right
corner and you will be able to avoid it.Similarly,if the beam comes from right
to left,immediately run to the most top-left corner.Also,each beam can cost up
to 70 damage which is in fact quite deadly.After it uses the beam,it
will lay its head down and this is your chance to attack.Avoid and then shoot
fireballs at it.
Sweeping its body:It moves very fast when it uses sweep and is hard to
avoid.But there is a way,go to the top screen as top as possible and you should
be able to dodge its sweep.
Attacking directly:this is easy to dodge.It uses direct attack more often
when you are near it.
Note:Remember not to come to near it or you will be frozen which can cause up to
20 damage.
Here's the way to defeat it.Try to avoid the ice ball and other attacks as much
as possible while shooting fires at it.After he uses ice beam,this is your best
chance to attack.A few hits and it should be knocked unconsious. Quickly,go near
it and use normal attack,triangle,Lumina sword to attack. Don't bother to store
up the bar.This should give it damage.Follow this pattern and a few hits should
KO it.Say goodbye to chapter 4.Get out of here.
Congradulations!You are nearer and nearer to the finish end.Two more to go!

Chapter 5:The one that Nests Underground
Sidequest:Talk to Cook B(Cook Chiffonado) once you have the Butcher Chops.They
will start making neatballs for you which you can buy from the grocery shop.
Steam Reactor Part 2.
Treasures:Profits,Handle#0,Handle#1,Handle#4,Handle#8(Steamwood)
Note:don't bother going to the mine to activate the fire crest since there is a
steam leak and you can't advance furthur.When you returned from the village,the
mayor will tell you a bad new about the princess and ask you to ask the shop
owner for information.Talk to any of the shop owner and they will tell that the
princess is not herself.She has taken all of our hard-earned profits.How can the
princess do this?There is something wrong.Go to the castle and you will be told
that the princess is missing.She was fine last night during the dinner but was
missing this morning.Now,return to the village.Note:you can also take the
Gondola ride now.First,don't go to the steam reactor now.Save your game before
you go.It is going to be like the last time but gonna be more tougher and more
challenging.Go by the shortcut at the steam administrator house to steamwood.You
will see the steam administrator lying there.Talk to him and he will say that
princess ask him to bring her here but noone else knew that the princess knock
him unconsious and cause the steamwood to go berserk.Out of desperation,the
steamwood administrator locked the princess inside and removed the handle.
Question:Why did the princess taken all the profits from the shop owners?
Why did she knocked him unconsious?
What is her purpose for destroying the steamwood?
Could she be a disguise?
Take the handle and open the door.Choose second option.If you forgot how to
close the valves,choose the first option to read through the manuel once
again.Ah,forget it!Who will forget it?Go inside and you will be suprise to see
the princess talking about leader's force and etc.And how on earth did she get a
tail?Oh!Should have guessed it.The princess is fake.She is Topo in disguise,one
of the member of leader's force.She will disappeared and left the profit that
she took from the shop owners.
Now,what's the difference and similarities between the first and second one.
Now,you still have 24 hours to shut the steamwood down.each hour represents one
minute.So,hurry out.
The difference is:
The location where you talk to the steam administrator is different.
There are 3 valves with lost handle and you will have to find them.Requires more
time to find.
More steam coming out.This one i have noticed.It is now difficult as there are
more steam leaks and it's difficult to jump over.For example,the only way to get
to 5,i suppose is to go up one more level to 8 and then jump down to 5.
There are two strategies.
First,close the valves as you move along to collect the 3 handles.
Second strategy:Have at least 4 empty spaces in your inventory to collect the
profits and the 3 handles and then open the valves in numerical order.
First Strategy:( an extremely hard strategy)
Advantage:You will have more time to retry just in case the valve timer goes
off.
Disadvantage:There is a chance that your valve timer reaches 0,especially
when you are collecting the handle.Once you fail and fall,it
finished.Fast and quick.
Second Strategy:I prefer the second strategies more than the first and i
find it more easy.
Advantages:No need to waste time searching for the handles and save a lot of
valve timer time,especially at the later on part.So,there is a
lesser chance of getting O valve timer.The ultimate is to race
against the valve timer time,not the explosion time.24 minutes is
long enough for you to open 2 or more times(of course,without
counting the valve timer).
Disdvantage:Took you about 2 to 5 minutes to find the 3 handles.But if you
can really find the three handles between 2 to 3 minutes,you
should have more than enough time to do it a second time.
Main strategies:
You will find that the handles for 1, 4 and 8 are missing.The handle for the no1
can be found on the ground floor by walking straight right after you have talk
to the princess.Without the no 1 handle,you will never be able to apply any of
the two strategies.No4 handle can be found quite near to the 4 th valves.Be
careful,don't fall down while collecting the handle.If not,...
The no 8 handle can be found further right to the no 8 valves.You can't walk
directly to collect the handle because of steam leaks.You have to jump
diagonally across using double jump.And should you fall during the 8th
valves,it's likely that you have to start all over again.So,i personally
recomend that you should take the second strategy if you can't try it after
several times.
Damm!I took nearly 15 minutes turning on and off my Playstation until i managed
to figure out the way,finding the handles and shortcuts.So,don't panic if you
can't do it the first time.The first time you try,you might not have the idea of
where the handle is and which is the shortest route.So this is the best and most
efficent way i have found.Also,it requires luck and it depends a lot also on the
elevator.And,you must use double jumps efficently to jump over steam.
Floor No3. -7 E 8 H8-
Floor No2. -6 4 E 5-
H4
Floor No3. -3 E 1 2-
Ground floor E H1
This is based on my memory.
Note:You should try attempt saving steamwood a few times before you look below
for strategies.Know where the handles are first.Take a look only when you are
stuck.
This is the legend.
1 to 8:stands for the numerical values.
E:elevator
G:Ground floor
H1,H4,H8:stands for the corresponding valves no. handles.
-:link together.
All right,you can choose which strategies to take.But remember to take the
handles.
1)Go right immediately to collect the handle 1.
2)Go to floor no.2
3)Go right until you cannot go anymore because there is steam.
4)Jump down to the right to reach valve no.1.Use the handle and activate it.
5)Go right to activate valve No.2 and 3.
(No3,there is one way to save time.After you activate 3,your timer will
regain to 60.So,look right and see the elevator.Time yourself and make
sure after you activate it,you have time to reach the elevator and that
the elevator is going UP and not go Down.In this way,you will be able to
save the time from going down to the ground floor,about 10 more seconds.)
6)Go to the elevator and reached floor No.2.Go left to reach valve 4.there
is a handle there.Activate the valves.
7)This is the most critical part now.You will have 35 seconds to activate
the 5th valve.You can't go left or right to go to valve 5 because of the
steam.And that appears no way to jump over the steam to no.5.Immediately,
go right and up the elevator.wait for the elevator to come up and if the
elevator is going down,it's unlikely that you will have enough time.Go
right to valve no8.Jump down from 8.Valve 5 is directly below 8.Activate
it.Then go right to go to valve 6.Activate valve 6.Once you have activate
valve 6,the timer will reach 60.
8)Go up the elevator and activate 7,then 8.Remember to take the handle 8.
Max valve timer will reached after activated Timer
1,2,3,6 60
4,5,7 35
For more information,read Steam Reactor Part 1.
Note:There is also another way of getting to valve 5.It is faster but more
risky.immediately after 4, go to the left pillar and join across to the right
pillar of valve 5 and then to the main platform but there is a risk that you
might fall.
Note:There is a shorter way to reach valve#1 but again more risky.At the first
floor,double jump off the pipe to clear the steam to reach valve #1
Important Notice!!!:Pls read the action figure and the elusive special
action figure first before proceeding about leaving one
chest theory.I hate to spoil your interest later on when
you read about the special action figure but it will be
better for you to read first rather than later on if you
find yourself can't collect Jon and Leno and Dlumina3
figures.
Getting the Wind Scroll
Treasures:600Drans(From Mayor)
Armor(if not collected)
Minku :Near the wind scroll is
Once you have successfully closed the steam reactor,you will talk to the mayor
and the steam adminstrator.now,they knew that the princess is fake.Go to town
and talk to the mayor to receive 600 Drans in exchange for returning the profits
to the shop owner.Save your journey.Once the steam leak problem is fixed,you can
go to the mine that leads to the inside well where a small tunnel is, then go to
the fire crest.Remember to take the chest,Armor if you have not taken yet.Use
fire scroll and you can climb up.Take a nap until 2300 and you should see a
Minku.Go furthur up and you should see the Wind Scroll.Absorb Wind
Scroll.Now,there's left only one more,the sky scroll.Use the wind scroll and
create large hole and you will fall down and become unconsious.Out there,you
will see Ginderelle and Bubbles,they will try to seize your lumina sword while
you are unconsious.Luckily,Musashi wakes up just in time.Out of fear,Bubbles
accidentally seal musashi inside the Bincho field.And they has missed one lucky
chance of getting lumina.Ginderelle will then report back and bubbles asked
Ginderelle not to tell.
Question:How to break myself free?
Answer:Only the lumina can break the Bincho field,so just press triangle and you
will be able to free yourself.Max BP increases by 50.
Question:Why do the normal people i rescue only gains 5BP?And why Musashi will
gains 50 BP when freeding himself?Does that mean Musashi has 10 times stronger
Bincho field than normal people.
Answer:Possiby
Next,returned to the village.
Giant Ants
When returned to the village,the first thing you will noticed is the music.
As you might guessed,something must have happened to the town.Go to the trail
where you come down from the Gondola.if it is daytime,you should see Tim and
Mint.Talk to them and they should say something about the giant ant eating the
Gondola.If it is night time,the two kids will not be there but don't worry.You
can still proceed the game and heads up to the Gondola.
You will see a giant ant and Mr Lands will talk about the ant looking for syrup
or something else.Now,head back to the castle and take the Gondola ride
down.HaHa!YOu will crush the ant and the ant will escape into a hole on the
cliff.
Note:For more info on Gondola,pls read the basics tactics.
The Great Ants Hunt
Bincho Field:Cook Chiffonade(near the toadstool is)
Conductor Scores(Inside the tunnel)
Knight Rumparoni(before you drill hole and return to beginning)
Treasures :Lrg tool(near the toadstool)
Odd bone(bottom left of the elevator)
Minku :On the left path once you see the dead ant in the upper mine
Below the fan in the upper mine
Enemies :Cure Worm,Hopper,Sphere Bat,Toadstool,NeedlAnt,GiAnt
Go the right side of the Gondola and you can climb up the cliff.You know how to
do,huh?Jump inside.The dead ant is there.Go to the left path and you will see
another Minku.Be careful.Don't jump down.This is the exit.Now,return and go the
right path.You should see a poisionous cloud of gas.Be careful,they can cause
poison.Use your whirlwind.Inside you will see some toad stool.Go around and keep
jumping.There is a chest(Lrg Tool) on the middle right side and a bincho
field(Cook Chiffonado)on the top left side of the screen near the toadstool.Then
go to the top right.You will see a big gaps and spikes on the ground.Use Earth
power to stomp the ground,causing the rocks to fall down,then you can go
over.Make your way to the exit.In the next room cross over the top of the lift,
they aren't working so you'll have to jump to each one to get to the top right
side.There is a chest(Odd Bone)on the bottom left side.Once you go through the
top right exit you will face a lot of strong wind.Engage the whirlwind and go
straight across, you'll have to do it twice to make it past the winds.Once you
go through the top right exit you will face a lot of strong wind.Use the
whirlwind and go straight across.
Be careful,you will reached a slope as you go along.Absorb hop from the flower
to go up the slope.Walk furthur to the end and you will see a flower,
a big gap.The right side has a slope.Even if you manage to jump over,you can't
go up the slope without hop.But if you absorb hop here,it's difficult to jump
over and also it is very easy to fall into the bincho mine and get
poisoned,Don't bother to heal yourself using antidote.There will be a cure worm
there after you have crossed.Now here's the trick.
Strategy 1.
Stand at the edge and face the flower.
Absorb it and right to face the other side.
Continue to tap square
Just as it reaches the top quickly,and before the fusion returns to you,
double jump to the other side.
If timed just right you should be just about to land when the
explanation box appears. If you fall into the sludge but still
absorbed the skill just hit the "O" button the end it and try
again.
Requires Skills and Timing.
Strategy 2.
First,lure the flower and it will start hopping around.
Next,use double jump to jump over to the other side of the cliff.
Then,stand near the edge,facing the left side cliff.
If correct,just wait patiently for the flower to hop over to the edge.
Then quicky use fusion to travel across the gap to absorb the flower.
Requires Luck and Timing.
use hop to go up the slope.
Absorb the cure worm.There is a minku there.You know what to do next.
Climb up the wall and activate the fan.Sent you over to the left side.Go in.
Tips:You can use a little bit of water scroll on the hopper,causing it to grow
in size,making you more easy to assimiliating the hop ability but don't kill it.
Now,it's get impossible hard to jump over.
You can't attack the red ants.(Needlant)However,they will not attack you.But do
not come too near them.The only way to kill them is to absorb acid shot from the
purple ant or GiAnt.Avoid them.The only way is to use acid balls
You can attacked the blue ants.The blue ones shoot acid ball,so kill
them.Continue moving until you reached the end of the wall.Then you must jump
diagonally from the corner.When you get to the next one,there will be one
pole.Double jump and get the bincho field.(Conductor Scores)When you come to the
next end wall,again you have to double jump diagonally from the corner.It's
quite impossible but is possible after a few tries.You will see many red ants
marching and climbing up.It's a dead end here.Go to the far left and you will
have to jump diagonally around from the corner again.Make your way.There will be
2 horizontal poles and ants climbing down.Make use of the pole to swing and
double jump to cross over.get the bincho field(Knight Rumparoni)and drill a hole
using the whirlwind in the center.You are now back to the caverns.Now,go to the
bottom right.Note:you might want to return to stock up all of your supplies.This
is the way to the next crest guardian.
Notice that the lifts now work.Make use of that.The next room has a number of
double jumps for you and a mine cart ride awaits you.Choose the first option to
ride.There are five differnet positions that you can move.the objective here is
to avoid the obstacles spread along the three different sections of the
tunnel.You can only hit an obtacles four times before the cart burst,which
causes you to restart.the bonues is if you crash in the second or third
section,you only restart from the beginning of that specific section.All i can
say is use the directional button and avoid as much collisions as possible.Good
luck.You will come to a memory box and a lot of heart scattered around.Restore
all your HP.Leave your memory and drill a hole in the centre.
Tips:For Duel shock owners,I found it easier to use the D-pad to control the
cart rather than using the analog becasue it provided more precise control of
the cart.
Tips:Musashi can assimilate the Depress ability from the red,spiny Needlant.
At first,this may seems useless by slowing down Musashi but from another
point,the purple GiAnts won't attack Musashi even if you come too close to
them.On the other hand,the acid ball can be absorbed from the purple ants and
can be used to melt the red ants.When the red ants is melt,
it leaves behind a pool of toxin which when Musashi comes into contact can also
get hurt.Also,this acid ball proves useful against ground creatures like cure
worms.
4th Crest Guardian:The Queen Ant
Here's her attacks
Single claw sweep
Pink clouds
Belly spikes
Acid rain
Avoid getting near her tail,unless you have the wind scroll in effect.The pink
cloud will poison Musashi.The fighting area is somehow narrow and restricted and
don't get too close to her because there are spikes on her belly.Dodge the acid
rain by standing between.This is often followed by her single claw sweep.Do not
let her catch you.It can trap you and cause from 50 to 90 damage.Repeatedly
press the attack and jump button to free yourself.
Use double jumps to jump over the claw.Sometimes,you will see maggot burst.
Kill them and some may give you antidote to cure poison.when a section of the
body starts to shake,she's attempting to spike Musashi.Jump over to the next
cross-section.The queen ant's core is lodged in her tail and is hidden.
The only time it appears is when she goes crazy.
Here's how to attack
First,keep attacking her eyes with your wind scroll ready.After some time,she
will bow her head,immediately use normal lumina attack.She will go crazy and
covers up her face temporary.During this time,her core will appear
(at the back near the cloud of poison gas.)because it is posion over there,
you will need to use whirlwind immediately,and keep moving right of the
screen.if successfully,you should hit the core and cause her damage.
Repeat the pattern and she's KO.Also,after she has regained consious,she will
blow you to the right and force you to fall into bincho mines.You can avoid this
if you are using whirlwind.
Congradulations!You are now at the last chapter.Take note that this chapter is
going to be the longest of all and unlike the previous chapters,you will have
many bosses and sub-bosses.
____________________________________________________________________________
Chapter 6:Sword of Luminescence
You should see Jon and his dog.They will give you a note about the sky
scroll.Save now.
Technique:Rumparoni-Sp
Sidequest:Talk to Knight Rumparoni in the castle and you will learn the last
technique,Rumparoni-SP.
Note:By the time now,if you have follow all the walkthrough correctly,you should
have collected all the 13 minku,rescue 35 people and learn all the 6 different
techniques.
Tips:You might really want to take some time,practising all the 6 techniques
and at the same time increase your stats.Most enemies in the later game at Soda
Fountain Part 3 will have very high HP,good DEF and so on.It's best to master
these techniques and later inflict huge damage on them.
For more info on techniques,read the 6 techniques below on the secret section
there,including the moves and the effects.
Important Notice!!!:Pls read the secret sections of 7 Special Action figure
and the Elusive Special Action Figures first!!!This is
very important,provided you want to unlock the 7 special
action figure,especially Jon and Leno and DLumina 3.
Treasures:Kojiro and Mon Minku Action Figure
Sidequest:After rescuing 35 people,go to the toy store to buy princess
fillet action figure.After getting 13 minku,go to the castle and
talk to Shepherd beefalo,he should tell you that the mother minku
is upset and is probably in the meandering forest.Go to the
meandering forest and you will see her.Use normal attack and be
careful of her stomps which can do up to 30 damage.It's hard to
avoid.You will noticed her shadows.use double jumps to jump away
from her shadows.When she's defeated,she will throw down lots of
hearts,Bincholite,and a few thousand Drans.Go into the toy store
and you can buy Mom Minku action figure.Talk to Farmer Lacter
and he will say that Mrs lacter thought you were her grandson and
she has asked Mr lacter to pass Kojiro action figure to you.
Warning:This is going to be the End.Once you go,you won't be able to come
back to the village.Make sure you have got all the minkus and Bincho
Fields first.If you have collected all Minkus and Bincho field,you
will have 500HP and 475BP now(500BP after you defeat Tower of Death
and complete Chapter 6 again.)Buy plenty of Cheese,one s-revive, and
Ex drink.Note:don't buy any mint or Hi-mint as you won't be able to
sleep there.Time will not pass and you will not be tired.HP will not
rise nor BP will decrease as time passes.The L-quilt is completely
worthless here.
Getting the Sky Scroll
First,speak to Farmer McRice.He will tells you that every sky day it
mysteriously rains in steamwood forest in the morning.Look at the note Jon gave
you.Remember,near steamwood where the Earth crest is.After you have activated
Earth crest,there will be a hidden path which leds to the wind crest.You won't
be able to activate the wind crest until...Sky day is actually Friday and
steamwood will rain from 7am to 12pm every skyday in the morning.Now,wait until
skyday between 7am to 12pm.Go to where the wind crest is.If it is skyday and it
rains,you will be able to activate the wind crest.
Activate it and you will be teleported to a platform in the sky.Note:once you
come here,there will be no turning back.make sure you have save and have at
least 2 files,one in the village and the other one here.Once you land on the
platform,you will need to activate the three Earth scroll platforms surrounding
the tower.Double jump from the circular pathway onto the earth platforoms and
use Earth scroll; two times on each of these.Remember to use water scroll just
in case you fall.After activating,in a door will opened up in the water ramp.Use
water scroll and go inside the door.This takes you to the second floor of the
tower.Hop on to the outer walkway.Equip the fire scroll and double jump onto the
inner platforms.Stand in front of each of the unlit torches and use fire scroll
to light them.Once every torch is lighted,you will be carried to the highest
level of the tower to collect the sky scroll.Pick up the sky scroll and you will
be able to float in the air temporary.At this point,Colonel Capricciola will
comes in and says that the princess is inside and wants to exchange the
princess's life for the lumina.
Now,be prepare to enter the final stage.Inside,you will meet many mini-boss and
much tougher enemies that you have never seen.So avoid using up too much of your
items.
Soda Fountain:Part One
Treasure:C-Drink,W-Gel
Enemies:Pigloter
When you first enter,leave your memory in the box.Now,you will need to use your
newly scroll power,the sky scroll.it consist of long corridors lined with
electrical wiring and carpented with lethal sludge.once you come too near to the
electrical walls and gets shocked,you will most likely be fall into the sludge
and has to start all over again.Hold R1 until full and then triangle to use sky
scroll.Then,hold X to hover.The corridors are very narrow and doesn't have much
space for you to move.The only tip i can give you is while holding X,press your
directional button one at a time and not too fast or you will come into contact
with the electrical walls.After navigating,you will come to a a similar spot but
with spiked that turned in the centre of the corridor.Carry on moving.Time
yourself so that you can pass the spiked turnstiles.make sure you picked up C-
Drink from the chest.
There are two ways to get through the large spiked tunnel but before you go,pick
up the W-gel to your left.
Techniques 1.:Hover through and land in safe area using sky scroll.
Techniques 2.:Simply run,jump and double jump across the spikes and holes.
Ignore the enemies inside.Continue through the door when you reach the end of
the tunnel to fight Ben.
Ben
Ben is strong but is easy to rule up his pattern.Be stingy with your items as
there are much more to go.He starts the fight by tossing bombs onto the
ground.After each bomb explodes,Ben throws shurikens at you.After throwing
shiruikens,he will throw three axes.
Now's here the way to avoid his attack.
Bombs :You can use the sky scroll to hover around but make sure you stay
away from the about-to-explode bombs to prevent getting hit.
Shurikens:it's hard to avoid but you can stand between them or double jump
over them.
Axe :Double jump over each carefully.
After he has throw his axe,you can now counter attack him.However,doing so
causes him to counter attack with his weapon.This is easily avoided by quicky
double jump out of the way but it's very risky.the safer way is to use
Rumparoni-SP to attack him just as when his propeller blade rises out.As long as
the propeller is on its way up,Ben can't counterattack.When Ben is defeated,you
will be able to save your game to a memory card.
Soda Fountain Part Two
After saving your game,you wil enter a new area.If you see carefully,this is the
dead end but you will be able to see a transparent wall.Go through it and
return.You will hear a sound and a symbol will appear on the door that you came
in.Go through the door once again.And it will be an enter a new place.You should
see many symbols on the door.Now,remember the calender that Mr Govern or the
mayor give you.The calender has many symbols.Go through the door with the symbol
corresponding to the calender,starting from the left in order.
Note:if you go in the wrong door,you will be transported to the beginning and
you will have to start all over again.There aren't any enemies here,so don't
waste your items.
Warning:you might want to give it a try before you read before.Below is a
spoiler and you might want to explore on your own.One thing i forget to tell you
is that there are lot of hidden paths that led to the correct door that you want
to go.So search carefully for the door that matches the correct symbols.
First room:Head to the far right and you will be able to see the door with the
Earth crest.Enter it.
Second room:Equip the Earth scroll and stomp on the switch.It will triggers out
a platform that covers the pit,enabling you to cross.walk furthur right and you
will see the door with the wind symbol.Don't enter it.It's not the correct
door.the correct door is at the far right.Use earth scroll and stomp on the
switch four times.The platform on the right will come down,
enabling you to gop to the right path.Enter the door.
Third room:The third room requires the use of sky scroll.You will see many
spikes.Use sky scroll to safely hover above the spikes to the right path.
Don't enter the door.there will be a door at the farthest right.Go there and you
will see spikes.They are there to TRICK you.Safely hover above the spikes and it
will start to slide in.Then drop down and you will see a door with a "D" shaped
symbol.
Fourth room:You must put your swinging abilities to the test.You will see three
poles jutting out of the wall.Swing from the lowest pole to the
highest pole and then jump to the higher platform to the right.The door is on
the top-right side with the fire crest symbol.if you fall,you will have to take
the exit on the bottom right and start all over again from room #1.
Tips:You will have to depend on yourself.Noone can help you.There isn't any
advice to guide you.The techniques to swing high is to let you swing as long
before you begin to jump. Also, watch out the direction where you are swinging.
Fifth room:Use the fire scroll to light up the two posts.This causes the
platform to cover the pit and the large block across the pit to move up and
down.Go right.you wills ee a door on the right side.Don't enter.The correct door
is on the top-left corner,with the water-crest symbol.Make use of the
block to carried you up to the top-left platform.Note that:if you use the sky
scroll to hover over the pit,the block will remain stationary and you will not
be able to reach the correct door.
Sixth room:Use it to extinguish the four flames on the post.Don't enter the door
on the top-left corner.After extingusting the posts,the platform will
retacts.use the water scroll and jump down to the river and head right to enter
the door with the water scroll symbol.
Seventh room:Upon entering the seventh room,simply head through the left door to
appear in a new portion of the first room.Note;there will be a fan to blow you
right.Don't get knock off the platform or you will ahve to start all over again
from room #1.Use wind scroll and head left.There will be a gap.Jump over the
gap.Be careful not to fall or you will start all over again.Use the whirlwind
and jump to the left side immediately you reach the edge of the platform.Exit
the door with the sky crest symbol.
Last room:This is the most tricky of all.i wonder how do i show you without the
map.Anyway the exit is on the lowest right of the screen.You will see spikes
below.Jump down with the sky scroll ready.And then hover right across the
spikes.Hover down again and then take left.there will be a door that led you to
Ed.
Ed.
This could be by far the easiest boss here.So,do not waste any items on here.he
will first powered up and then shoot a wide laser beam.You can't attack Ed while
the beam is active because a shield covers him.it is easy to avoid the beam.You
can easily double jump over the beam or use the water scroll to absorb a single
hit.Just jumps around in circles around ed as he powers up the beam.Ed can
teleport and it's impossible to attack him.
Instead,wait for the beam to stop and gets near to Ed as possible,ed will
exhausted once after the beam stops.Run up next to him and attack him using
normal attacks or use crosswise cut.this causes him to teleport ariund the
arena,dropping fire bombs that explode into large fire balls.Don't woory.This is
easy to dodge.Simple enough!
Soda Fountain Part Three
Treasure:Ex-Drink,C-Drinks x2
Enemies :Big Walker,Blue Bincholid Soldier 2H,Green Bincholoid Soldier 4H,
Orange Bincholoid Soldier 3H,Red Bincholoid Soldier 1H,laser turret
Steel Door,Pigloter
Note:At this point of the game,your BP will start to decrease,but your HP will
not rise.I wonder why?
Now,here comes the tougher enemies.
Tips:There are two abilities that you should consider assimilated.One is the 3-
way ability from the bincholoid soldier and another is the homing ability from
an orange bincholoid.Both comes in handy as a long range attack and could be a
source of help when you are running low HP.The enemies have great attacks here
and high HP.The bad thing is most use long range attack and could be hard to
avoid sometimes.The good thing is that most are very slow,not ALL.
Homing ability:It has auto lock-on enemy to the nearest one,plus the enemy is
slow here and can't dodge well.Plus,it inflict greater damage than 3-way.The
disadvantage is that it consumes twice the BP(10BP) for one shot only.
3-way ability:It consumes twice less the damage of homing(5BP),plus can
shoot in 3 direction at one go.The disadvantage is it doesn't has
auto lock-on on enemy and has to aim at enemy yourself and inflict
slighier lesser damage than homing.
Suguestion:Choose Homing over 3-way.It will be much more useful when you fight
the cone-shaped mechanism later on.
Head to the top of the screen through the courtyard.As you go along,you will see
statues.Defeat the statues for extra heart tablets and BP power ups.
Remember while you are attacking the statues,the enemies will also attack you
using long range attack.Keep moving up until you reach the security gates.There
will be two laser turrets on each gate door that will target you with a beam and
then damaging you with a ray at that spot.You can avoid the damaging by just
double jumping from side to side.All i can tell you that the targetting looks a
bit like the stinger missles used in metal gear solid.Simply use your swords and
keep attacking the gate and destroy it to advance but remember to dodge.
Tips:You can use Desperado attack or normal lumina to attack the gate door.
In the second courtyard,head to the left to find a new courtyard.This is the
first time you will encounter Big Walker,a red mechanical robot that can throw
flames at you and moves very fast.The best way to attack is from behind.The
flame thrower will instantly cause you over 70HP.You might only want to defeat
each types of the enemies one and avoid it later so that you can buy their
action figure when you completed the game.Defeated a big walker will give you
some hearts and BP power ups.Use the same strategy to destroy the gate to
advance.
You will now enter a garden maze.The maze isn't that hard.Should i make a
map?No,i think you should be able to handle it but there are some things you
must remember here.There are some hearts and BP power ups.Be sure to take them
before you go.This is the time to replenish all of your health without using any
items.The enemies here are easy to difficult.Most of the soldiers are the red
bincholoid soldiers that uses sword.use long range attack like assimilated
abilities that you have got.eg.3-way abilities and homing.the rest are only blue
bincholoid soldiers.Next,there is a treasure with an Ex-Drink in the middle-
right corner.Make sure you take them.The exit is at the top.
Once you make it through the maze,you will enter another courtyard.This
time,there are laser turrets hidden in the tress.They are the first two trees
when you enter left from the entrance.Find the gate in the upper-left corner and
use the same strategy to advance.It gets more and more harder as the no of
enemies tend to increase.Advance to the next courtyard and you will see beam
generators on both sides of the fence.They could sometimes be helpful because
they damage your enemies and also you,don't forget!.Just don't go too close near
it.wait till it has destroy some of your enemies, then kill the beam
generators.Destroy the security gates and continue your way up.
In the next courtyard,the statues will target you.Destroy them to gain power ups
and advance your way through two more security gates.After destroying the second
security gate,you should see a blue bincholoid soldier.Kill it and climb your
way up the cliff.Be careful,while you are climbing up,you might be
targeted,Climb from the sides.
After you have climbed up the cliff,you should see the 4 laser turret.They will
target you.First,destroy the four laser turrets one by one.Destroying them will
give you some power ups.Next,go to the centre and destroy the fountain.After
destroying the fountain,wait for a while and it should start teleport 2 big
walkers up.Kill the two big walkers.Don't get hurt.Kill each one for 50 HP power
ups.Then,take the elevator to descend down.
Now,you must cross a bridge and mae your way up.The quickest way is to activate
sky scroll and floats to the far side towards a bridge that connects the two
sides of the room.land on the bridge and then use sky scroll to hovr to the far
side of the room.If you fall onto ne of the narrow pathways below,you will have
to double jump the pole to swing up to the higher platform.You will also need to
avoid the steam geysers and enemies.Remember,there are one heart and BP power
up.Be sure to take them.
You will now enter a room with cylinders.Destroy the cylinders to reveal enemies
and powers up.There aren't many enemies here.the only enemy are the red
bincholoid soldiers.Take all the neccessary power up and stop destroying
the cylinders once your HP and BP is full.You might want to save them to
replenish your health after you have destroy the steel door.Upon reaching the
farthest end,the steel door will be locked and will be full of powerful machine
gun.It's hard to avoid the bullets but you can defend it by holding R1.Destroy
the steel doors by using lumina rotation, that is normal sword.
Tips:if you know that in front is the steel door with machines gun,first destroy
some of the enemies there using long range attacks like homing to kill some
soldiers.So that as you move forward to fight the steel door,there will be
lesser enemies.Climb the stairs and destroy the next steel door.
The elevator at the next end won't be able to move until you have destroy the
cone-shaped machine in the circular platform.Avoid the lasers by double jumping
over them when they comes near.Use a long range attack to attack the black panel
on the front of the machine such as fire scroll or homing.It's best to use
homing.A few shots of homing and it's destroyed.Once destroyed
,you can take the elevator on the left.You will meet another steel door.Use the
same technique and after passing this door,you will meet Topo.
Topo
This is considered the most innovative boss fight in Brave Fencer.It's like
Musashi MEETS PARAPPA.Topo decides to challenge you to a dance.After all, Topo
is just a girl.For those who have played Parappa the Rappa,this shouldn't be
hard for you.However,it is slighier different from parappa.
Topo will begin by performing a button pattern dance using the symbols matched
on the controller.If you press X,your character will stepped on the X button
symbols.When she finishes,it's up to you to follow her.If you press the wrong
button/too fast/too slow/,Topo will turn on the three small fans on the
wall,which will blow you back into an electric field,each time causing around
36HP and you will have to start all over again.Pay attention and rap with
her.The damage is unavoidable once you do wrongly.There will be a total of 3
songs for you to follow in order to defeat Topo.
S:square
T:Triangle
o:circle
X:X
The 3 songs are:
S,T,O,X,S,T,X,O,S,T,O,X,S,T,O,X,S
X,O,T,S,X,O,T,O,X,O,T,S,X,X,O,O,S
X,T,O,S,X,T,O,X,X,T,O,S,X,X,T,T,S
Wow!So many to...to ra..ap..p
Actually,each song gets more and more harder in terms of faster rhythm.It's no
use looking at the buttons here and then press the button.You've have got to
follow Topo.Some may be able to complete the 3 songs without damaging any HP
whereas some may need to take several practises to complete a song.After all
this is what you need to know,"YOU'll GOTTA BELIEVE"
Warning:Don't read this if you have not reached here.
After you have defeated Topo,Topo will tell you that you were lure to here by
leader's force to beat the last crest guardian.Thanks to Musashi for beating the
crest guardian.And..And the journey continues.Sense somehing amiss.
After successfully completing three songs,you will get to continue your
quest.Hop onto the elevator and pick up the two C-Drinks from the treasure
chest.You will be able to save your journey on a memory card.You'll will then
come to a long spiral path.Capricciola reappears and run away with the
princess.Make your way through th warp portal to fight the last crest
guardian,The tower of death.
The Last Crest Guardian:Tower of Death.
This could consider another most innovative,strangest boss fight you ever
have.Upon entering,the sky scroll will automatically activate itself to keep you
floating.The meter on the left won't drop.it could consider the most easiest
boss fight if you master the techniques of floating.The eye or its
torso(whatever) will appear randomly on different levels of the tower.It's up to
you to float up and down the tower searching for the eye(Green) and hit it while
avoiding attacks.Hit the blue eye with lumina and it will inflict damage to the
tower.You can move up and down by pressing X and releasing X respectively
Now here's the attacks.
Spinning walls:These are walls that spins around the tower in circle.Some levels
spins in opposite directions of another one.Avoid those walls which can cause up
to 20 HP.
Electric beams:It will change shape and starts to emit electric beams from some
of the proturding walls after being inflicting some damage.This can be easily
avoided by floating in the same direction as the walls or dropping down levels
when cleared.
Eyes:It will start to emit large red fields from its open eye.It can cause
around 32 HP and cause Musashi to confuse and reverse the direction.All of them
will opened up their eyes at the same time,however,one will be shut.
Look from a high spot where you can at least see 6 to 8 eyes.Look for the eye
that is close.Go and stay in front of the closed eyes as close as possible and
you should be able to avoid the red field.This is the only way to avoid the red
field.
The tower will first use the spinning wall attack pattern.After some damage,
it will use the electric beams.When it's running low,it will use the eyes and
then repeatedly changing his attack pattern.It isn't as hard as you thought.Try
not to waste any healing items in the last crest guardian as you have two more
final boss to go and your HP and BP will be completely healed.
Warning:Do not read this part to avoid any surprises.!!!Do not read!!!
After you have defeated the tower of Death,(HP and BP completely restored and BP
increases max25), you can now activate the sky crest in the centre.
Before you are going to activate the sky crest,you will see Colonel Cappriciola
and Fuhrer Flatski with the princess.Cappriciola refuses to obey Fuhrer Flatski
and he turns up to be JON,the TREASURE HUNTER.he said that he has been waiting
for a chance to kill Fuhrer for his revenge.That's it,Jon is the prince of
thirstquencher empire.Fuhrer has killed his parents.
Rootrick attacks Jon .Musashi has no choice but to give the sword of lumina to
Fuhrer.Fuhrer activates the sky crest and breaks the seal of the Dark Lumina.Jon
then told Musashi that the legendary Brave Fencer Musashi seals the dark lumina
into a sword and divided its power into five scrolls and asked each crest
guardian to protect the scroll.Now,that the complete lumina seal is break,Dark
lumina is back to destruction.But only one man can stop this destruction and
that's Musashi.Dark lumina stepped onto Fuhrer and Jon nd kill there.Before Jon
dies,Jon asked Musashi to take care of Leno.Dark lumina then chases after them.
Dark Lumina PART 1:Wizard of Darkness
You need not defeat this guy.Instead,he will start chasing after you.I'll just
don't understand why squaresoft loves this chasing thing.First in parasite
eve,now even lots more in brave fencer,from head dropping down the tower and now
this.Maybe it's where the fun is.The first part of the chasing is pretty
easy.Just continue running left and double jump on the higher platform before
the walkway gets destroyed.If you fall,you will have to start all over
again.After running ,you will see Kojiro and the Fillet.
Fillet is again captured by Kojiro.Kojiro challenge fillet to a duel.
However,the dark lumina absorbed Kojiro and transformed into the Dark
lumina:Part Two,the second form.The princess is being blown away to a tower
there.now,the second part chasing begins and is slighier harder and more
challenging.just follow the path and don't slow down.At the base of the
twoer,use double jumps to jump to the right of the ledge and keeps jumping up to
the tower where you meet the princess and she will ask you to challenge the dark
Lumina.I don't have any techniques to give you.Just follow a rhythm and double
jump on the ledge.If you fall,you will have to restart again.
Dark Lumina Part 2
This is the toughest fight of all.
Here are some notes to remember
1.Always stay to Dark lumina left side.(that is your right)
2.Don't go behind the boss.
3.Work out a fighting pattern.
Attacks:
It has some very distinct way of attacking that is so hard to avoid.it will grab
you with his right hand and toss you onto the ground for 13HP,which wil most
likely cause you to fall of the platform,adding furthur damage.It also has a
tail that sweeps over a large area that can cause 45 to 60 damage that is so
hard to avoid.Typically,it will use this attack if stand close to the boss/too
long after the grabbing attack.
How do you attack Dark Lumina?
Hit the blue orb on its forehead.Each time you attack,it changes color from
blue,to pink and then red.(about 4 times)When it turns red,this is the time to
attack.However,it will immediately jump in the air and crash down with two
powerful powerful shotwaves(you know when the camera shifts above the
boss;double jump over the fire shock and attack the orb before it returns to
blue or you'll have to start all over again.) or it will spit out several
fireballs.Attack the red orb using lumina and it will cause damage to the
boss.repeat this pattern until the boss dies.
How do you attack the orb in his forehead?
Qns:I can't get near to Dark lumina 2.I'll always get grabbed by his right
arm.Any tips?
There are basically two strategies.
First strategies:
Keep away from the boss from a distance until he charges at you.When it fails to
grab you using his right arm,this is your chance to attack.He will stun for a
while and use your sky scroll to attack or jump over.This is slow and not
working often.The advantage is it is safer.
Second strategies:
Keep to the left of the boss.When it misses the grabbing skill,jump right to
smack the orb.The advantage is fast.The disadvantage is it will mostly likely to
use its tail sweep and you will have to be careful.of course,you can also jump
and smack the orb if he don't use his grabbling skills but most likely,you will
be grab by his right arm.If you timed your timing well from your position,you
should be able to smack the orb when his head is bending low.
Tips:If you use the sky scroll, you can double jump and float to hit his
forehead without taking damage. If you repeat quickly, you can hit him 4 times
with one scroll charge!!!To avoid his fire wave, just carefully time your double
jumps.When he starts to charge up to shoot fireballs, run straight towards him.
When he starts to shoot, run left and then circle back to his head inside the
arc of the fireballs. That way you don't get hit and you are perfectly
positioned to hit him when he drops his head to the ground.
Once I discovered this strategy, I didn't take another hit in the whole
battle.
Credits:The tips is sent by kevin@clearcommerce.com.Try it yourself.
Tips:To dodge his fireballs go right beside his head when he is shooting
it. The fireballs shoots out in front and goes to the side only so it
can't get you
Credits:This tip is sent by Kevin Yuan
Once you have defeated Dark Lumina Part 2,you will fight the final boss.
Dark Lumina:Finale
This is slighier easier than lumina Part 3.You can attack the boss when it
returns to white color by using fusion.Use fusion and tap the square button
until the gauge bar fills to turn Dark lumina into a small orb.Attack the orb to
cause it damage until it dies.Once the orb is attacked,it will create a
whirlwind and lure you to the orb.Avoid this using wind scroll.However,it will
start to change color.It will first begin with Fire Rain,followed by Sword
Waves,Hurricane Wings,Dark Clones,Fire Shockwaves,Big rain,followed back to Fire
Rain.
Red Fire Rain
The fire rain is easy to dodge;Watch the ground for shadows.Charge dodging the
flames and ready to counter the boss when it turns white.
Purple Sword Waves
dodging the sword waves requires double jumps.It could cause quite a lot of
damage.
Green Hurricane Wings
The hurricane winds don't attack Musashi directly.Rather it blow him off the
tower's edge.Activate the wind scroll.
Light blue Dark Clones
This is much harder to dodge then other attack.When dark lumina spits into many
clone-forms,they will rush at you in straight lines through the centre of the
circle.Avoid by double jumping.It can cause the most damage,with each hit over
40HP.
Yellow Fire Shockwaves
It resembles the second form's fire shock wave.Double jump over.If Musashi gets
hit,you will be sent flying off the platform.
Dark Blue Big Rain
The big rain attack is slighier harder than the fire rain.When large drops hit
the ground,they split into several smaller drops of rain.
Congradulations!You have completed the game.Watch the game ending and credits as
you will see Musashi seals the dark lumina into the sword.When the squaresoft
logo appears,press X to save.You will start from chapter 6 but change to Fin.You
will be able to buy series 6 action figure and special action figure.Rescue all
35 palace members and 13 minkus if you have not done.Look at the unlocked
special action figure.Some are randomly unlocked and hopefully you are lucky.If
you have a better/easier way of unlocking all these special action figure,pls e-
mail me.Credits will be given.
Tips:Everytime you complete the game and reload from FIN save,be sure to visit
Grocery because during this time at 1900 on sky day,the Grocery shop will be
having sale.Make full use of it and stock up your Ex-Drink.
Note:Read the special action figure and the 3 endings on secret section if
you have not done so.I'll have got all action figure,including Jon and Leno and
Dlumina 3 so you need to really read the secret section if you want to unlock
these two mystery figures.

Bestiary
Okay!This could be the final update of the FAqs.I have added almost all the
enemies that you will encounter in this game,including strategies to defeat it
and its assimilated abilities.The #sign indicates that it is repeated and and
*sign represents boss.
Beginning of chapter 1
Blue Soldier 1
Attacks:Gunshot
Assimilated ability:Gunshot
Strategy:These soldiers are slighier more danger than Red soldiers,simply they
have a projectile attack.It's easy to avoid the blue soldier's gunshot by
determining the direction where they are shooting.A few hits using lumina will
do.
Red Soldier 1
Attacks:Running charge
Assimilated ability:stun
Strategy:Easy to defeat by cutting down or thrown.It will charge at you when you
are too close to one.You can anticipate an attack when an exclamation point
appears over its head.
Bee Plant
Attacks:Poke
Assimilated ability:Perfume
stategy:Easy to defeat because they are immobile.Don't come too close or they
will stretch out and poke you.Low defence makes them vulnerable to ant type of
attack.
Stone Head
Attacks:Red Circle Beams
Assimilated abilities:None
Strategy:Destroy the four statues and step on the emblems to destroy the stone
head in the centre.Run around to avoid the beam.
Sphere Bat
Attacks:Swop
Assimilated ability:None
Strategy:Sphere bats don't cause much damage but they often move in groups and
are very fast.Just attack using fusion or lumina when they are approaching you.
*Steam knight
Somnolent Forest
Green Soldier 3
Attacks:Running Charge
Assimilated ability:Javelin
Strategy:Similar to the red soldier,they won't attack you until it notices
you.An exclamation mark appears over it head.This is similar to the dashing
pierce except it carries a spear.It isn't hard to defeat and is easy to avoid.
Herb Plant
Attacks:Head Poke,Three-way projectile.
Assimilated ability:Mint
strategy:similar to the bee plant but has an additional attack called the three-
way projectiles.An exclamation mark will appear when they notices you.The three-
way projectiles is easy to dodge and isn't hard to defeat at all.
Hopper
Attacks:Pounce
Assimilated ability:Hop
Stratgey:Getting too close to a hopper will cause it to bloom and begins to hop
around.It is more active in the night than in the day.They are extremely weak
and is easy to defeat.Keep in mind that they regenerate from the starting area
very quicky.
Magician
Attacks:Shrink
Assimilated ability:Shrink
Strategy:They are very weak.Do not stay too close to them for a long time as
they must shrink you,which makes you unable to defend and attack.The shrink
attack is very easy dodge.Magician will immediately teleport to the front after
seeing Musashi,which makes them easy to kill.Just wait for them to teleport to
the front and use your sword to attack.
#Red Soldier 1
Maneater
Attacks:Devour
Assimilated ability:Satiate
Strategy:You can't inflict any damage to these creatures.The best strategy is to
throw them back into the woods or waters or use fusion to assimilate
satiate.It's a good bet to assimilate satiate when you are running low on BP.
Sleepie
Attacks:Sleeping gas,Head Whack
Assimilated ability:Sleepy
Strategy:Getting too close to a sleepie will result a bonk on the head or a shot
of sleeping gas,which makes you fell asleep.You can use lumina to deliver a huge
damage directly to its head and spit the enemy in half without putting yourself
in danger of falling asleep.
Thorny Bushes
Attacks:Thorns
Assimilated ability:None
Strategy:These thorny bushes really block your way.Getting too close will only
cause your some damage.You can not join over these thorny bushes.The only way is
to assimilate the hop ability from the hopper to cross over these bushes.
Twinpeak Mountain
#Green Soldier 3
#Blue Soldier 1
#Herb Plant
#Magician
#Maneater
#Red Soldier 1
#Sleepie
King Maneater
Attacks:Devour
Assimilated ability:Satiate
Strategy:Although the King Maneater is immobile,it is nearly impossible to
pass.The only strategy is to use shrink on the enemy and then crush it to bits.
Meandering Forest
#Bee Plant
#Green Soldier 3
#Magician
*Mother Minku
Restaurant Basement
Bowler
Attacks:Giant Seed
Assimilated ability:Bowl
Strategy:It serves as a useful purpose for assimilate the bowl ability to bowl
through crackled walls and defeat enemies.To avoid them,simply find a safe spot
to dodge.They are large and is extremly easy to attack.
CurseFire
Attacks:Burning Bounce
Assimilated ability:None
Strategy:These enemies pop out of fire pits.They burn Musashi.You can extinguish
the flames by using water scroll ability.
Fire Vambee
Attacks:Grab and Bite
Assimilated ability:B.O.
Strategy:Fire vambees are even tougher than normal vambees because you can't go
too near them.It's possible to attack them using lumina from a distance but not
recommend.the best way is to avoid them.
Flying Vambee
Attacks:Grab and Bite
Assimilated ability:B.O.
Strategy:These vambees would hover over Musashi and attacks Musashi when the
time is right.Stay in one area and lure them down to counter attack them.
Lamp Bat
Attacks:Swoop,Fire Bombs
Assimilated ability:Firefly
Strategy:Their main purpose is to serve as light through darkened paths,so it's
best not to destroy them.Unfortunately,they are difficult to evade when they
swoop down or when they drop their lanterns.When you encounter lamp bat,it's
best to avoid their attacks or assimilate the firefly ability to
light your path.
Lone Mist
Attacks:Hit
Assimilated ability:Sublime
Strategy:These are easily defeated ghost.They can float anywhere.They rarely
attack and 'sublime' serves as a useful ability to assimilate.
Ooze
Attacks:Poison
Assimilated ability:None
Strategy:They drop from the ceiling.They are slow and easy to avoid and they
cause poison when you touch them.They leave behind antidotes when they die.
Vambee
Attacks:Grab
Assimilated ability:B.O.
Strategy:it's best to avoid them whenever possible.They are slow but if you get
too close,they can grab Musashi up to drain Musashi's HP.Even if you cut them
into half,its torso will continue to chase after you.The shish Kebab technique
causes lots of damage to a vambee so much that the vambee won't
have time to spit into two.
Wisp
Attacks:Hit
Assimilated ability:None
Strategy:Wisps can light up darkened rooms and unlit paths.They can still infict
damage to Msashi if get too close.Avoid them.
*Relic Keeper
Chapel(church)
Vambee Soldier
Attacks:Grab and Bite,Paralyzing gas
Assimilated ability:B.O
Strategy:You will only encounter these enemies when you first saw bubbles in
the church.It cannot be kill.Its only weakness is sunlight.So wait till
sunlight.
Frozen Palace
Cool Plant
Attacks:Frozen 3-way
Assimilated ability:Mint
Strategy:This seems to be the modification of the herb plant with the 3-way
projectile now able to frozen people and causes lots more damage.Use the same
strategy.If you shoot some flames using the fire scroll at it,you will temporary
paralyse it,causing it not able to shoot frozen 3-way shot at you.
Now's here the chance to attack back.If you are caught in his frozen 3-way
shot,press any button repeatedly to warm yourself and prevent freezing.
Copycat
Attacks:Mimic
Assimilated ability:Clone
Strategy:Copycats are one of the most difficult enemies in the palace because
they can mimic all Musashi's moves,plus if you get too close to them you will
get an electric shock.The best way to kill is to use long range attack like fire
scrolls to kill it while keeping away from them.
Haya Wolf
Attacks:D-kick
Assimilated ability:D-Kick
Strategy:Haya wolves are quick creatures with every powerful kick.It's best to
corner them and hack them with lumina.
Mapper
Attacks:Pounce,Poison
Assimilated ability:Map
Strategy:Again,this one is like a modification of the hopper.Now,you can't get
too close to them or you will get poison.
Penguin
Attacks:Dive,Explosion
Assimilated ability:None
Strategy:When spotted,they will dive in a straight line.They are rather
difficult to defeat as they are small.Once their heads explode,their bodies can
still attack you.
Metal Spikes
Attacks:Spike Hit

Strategy:these ants are invulerable to any attacks.The only way to kill them is
to use acids absorbed from the purple ants.The acids will cause them to
melt,forming a pool of green toxin,however,when musashi comes into contact with
this pool,you can get hurt too.If you absorb the depress,you will not be able to
move fast but those ants won't be able to attack you.

Assimilated ability:3-way
Strategy:These could considered be the modification fo the 3-way projectiles
used by the plants.These cuases more damage.These soldiers are tough but there
are slow and can't turn around quickly.take them down by lumina or throw them
away.When throwing away,he may drop his 3-way projectiles weapon.
This is the best chance to attack.Don't let him pick up his weapon.Without his
weapons,he won't attack you.Keep in mind that they have lots of HP.
Green Bincholoid Solider 4H
Attacks:Big Bomb

bombs and you won't get hurt.They have a fairly high HP.
Orange Bincholoid Soldier 3H
Attacks:Homing Rocket Missles
Assimilated abilities:Homing

Strategy:These guys has high HP,plus moves much faster than other bincholoid
soldiers.When they notices you,they will charge at you like the dashing pierce
with their sword which can cause 40HP or more.An exclamation mark will be
shown.The only difference is that unlike all the enemies you have encountered
here,this is the only one that uses short range attack.Use a long range attack
like homing to attack it from a distance and t should be much easy.
#Pigloter
Laser Turret
Attacks:Targetting Beams
Assimilated abilities:None
Strategy:There are always two laser turrets guarding the security gate or each
of them will either hide in the statue or the tree.They will first target
you,and then shoot a beam.Run and jump around to prevent getting hit.Repeatedly
attacking the door will destroy them. If they are guarding the security
gate,simply attack the middle of the gate using normal Lumina attack(by holding
R1,the same for below.)or use skills like Desperado attack to inflict damage on
both laser turrets at one go.

Attacks:Shots

a semi-circle manner towards you.You can defend by holding R1.Use normal Lumina

Strategy:The door will closed onced you stepped onto the circular platform.
It will target you and use laser beams that travel in circles which can be very

___________________________________________________________________________
The Elusive Special Action Figures
There has been many arguements and questions a lot about these 7 special action
figure,especially the 2nd and the 7th figure.I'll start with the easy one first.
Dlumina1:Although i'll not sure about the exact method,it seems that
completing the first time will enable you to buy the figure.if
not,try the second time.
Dlumina2:It has been say that this figure has random availability like the
2nd and 7th figure but there's actually been a way to get it.Train
all your stats(Mind,Body,Fusion,Lumina)to Lv 30,complete the game
to earn the "HERO" rank.But it's strange.I get it the first time i
complete the game and i think my Lv was also 30.
Credits:Thanks to HyprX@aol.com for telling me about completing the game
with Lv 30 to get Dlumina 2.
As for Fillet,Kojiro,MomMinku,i don't need to explain more.
Rumors
There have been many questions asked regarding Jon and Leno and Dlumina3.
There are many theories suggesting to unlock these figures but most has proven
unsuccessful.It's has been said you need to play the game multiple times whereas
some said you can't have continues during Chapter 6.Some even claim that it's
got to do with how fast you complete the game.Another theory suggested that you
cannot dying or restarting from memory box and saved data but proves
unsuccessful.
Here are some of the ways to get these two figures,however,i'll not sure that it
will work,however,i will write down all the method,including the chances rating
in %,so that you can choose the right method yourself.The % chances were based
on estimated no of people who got these figures using these methods and is in
range.Look for the best way.
Note:All these chances are not accurate and is based on estimation.
Dlumina3
Info :Complete the game 3 to 5 times.Then reload from FIN save and it will
appear randomly.
About :However,i find it very unreliable since i complete the game 7 times
and yet unable to get Dlumina3 through this way.Besides,there have
been many reports that some got Dlumina3 only complete the game at
one to two times whereas some completed more than 5 times yet unable
to get it.Another guy at PSM said that he got the figure during the
third time.
Chances:20% to 55%
Credits:Thanks to John Huang(outsider55@hotmail.com)for telling me about
this method above even though it doesn't work for me.
Info :Randomly selected.From a guy at PSM.He said that the figure will
appear only perhaps on certain day,certain time or have other
obscure factor that influence it.
About :It doesn't work for me either and basically no clue to it.
Chances:0.1% to 10%
Info :Depends on how fast you complete Chapter 6
About :What an unreasonable conclusion and an unreliable way!
Chances:2% to 4%
Jon and Leno
Info :Enter the toy store at the same time when Farmer Grange enter.
About :This method seems to prove unsuccessful but definitely possible.
As you know,Farmer Grange is an action figure collector and will
visit the toy store everyday in the evening.Read the schedule in the
advanced tactics for the actual time he visit the store.His wife
hates doll and if you talk to her when she's at home by knocking on
the door,she would say something like "i wonder which doll i should
sell next," and she sold away her husband's collection behind his
back.Remember during a period when Farmer Grange was so depressed?
However,i found something very strange.You know that the toy store
is closed on Wednesday.There's actually a way to enter the store on
Wednesday but you will have to wait for Farmer Grange to come and
open the door.When the door is opened,immediately enter the store
before the door is closed.You have to be fast.I wonder what Kurt and
Farmer Grange is secretly talking about on every wednesday.However,
the sad thing is i entered the store on Wednesday but still doesn't
work but that doesn't mean it is not possible.
Chances:25% to 65%
Info :Randomly selected.This could mean that they only appear at a certain
time or on a certain day, or perhaps have some other obscure factor
governing their appearance. Or, they could just be random,which
would be irritating.
About :Like the above,it doesn't work for me.
Chances:0.01% to 10%
Bad News
Most of the official guide,player guide,other guide books and other sources all
claim that these two action figures were randomly selected,which seems as if
they are not taking the responsible to solve the mystery for us.What a
shame and how can they call themselves professional strategy guide writer!
But still i don't believe in randomly selected.You will know why later on.
Good news
Everyone will be wondering how i got these two figures and before that i have to
thanks for sharing with me the info he got
from all the feedbacks in his site.However,he still hasn't got them.And his
Brave Fencer site too really rocks and his URL can be found at the
acknowledgement section.I managed to come out with a conclusion with the info i
got from him and it works perfectly well.However,it sounds very complicated and
you got to understand it.if you feel that you do not understand,feel free to
mail me at ysf@pacific.net.sg
Chest Theory
What is this chest theory?All right!You must have guessed it,it is somehow
related to the chests that you collected.Here's how to get them.
First,you must remember two conditions.I tried using this method over four times
under the same conditions using the same data and work successfully,
however,all these conditions must be meet before it can work.
Make sure you picked out every chest, and including memory box at least once
in your game.
First condition:Before you go and collect sky scroll,make sure you leave ONE
empty chest,any one including old shirt,goggles etc but not
memory box since it is always close.Not more than one chest
,if not it will work.Then complete the chapter 6 and opened
every single chest in Soda Fountain,which means you are only
short of one.
2nd condition:When you complete the game,reload it from FIN save and you
will start at 1900 at SKYDAY once you complete the game,then
go and collect the remaining ONE chest.After collecting the
chest,go back to the toy store and wait until the next day,
which is Saturday since it's impossible to return to the toy
store again on skyday before it closes at 2000.In fact,after
collecting the last remaining chest,you can enter the store
any time of the day.You will see Jon and leno action figure.
Buy the figure,exit and then enter and you will see Dlumina
3 figure appeared and now you have all the action figures
and is ready to discover the third ending.In fact,i tried
not to buy both Jon and Leno and Dlumina 3 figure and waited
till the next day to see if these figures would disappear
,but thanks it didn't so i guessed there wasn't anymore
randomly.You got to buy Jon and Leno figure first before
Dlumina 3 would appear.
Very Important!!!
1.Make sure it's not more than one chest,not two,excluding memory box.If you
have got more than one chests,i suggests that you opened every chest and
leave any one you like,complete the game again and get the remaining
chest.Do not take more than one as it will not work.
2.Make sure you start at 1900 at skyday immediately you load after you
complete the game.And you must remember that after you reload,you will
start at 1900,right,but you cannot like wait until let say 2000 at skyday,
then save the game,switched off the Playstation and reload again,start at
2000 again,take the remaining one chest and it will not work.
Note:If these 2 conditions are meet,you will be able to buy Jon and Leno
action figure,including Dlumina 3.If you can't meet any one of these
conditions above,it will not work.This is very important.
Note:Any treasure chest will do but not memory box.Memory box must be opened
at least once.
Important notice!!!:Have you collected all the chests?Too bad for you.This
method won't work if all your treasure chests are
opened.For example,i am still short of two chests.When i
opened any one of the chests,complete the game and come
back to collect the last remaining chest,the method
works but if you opened all the two remaining chest,
complete the game,that means when you reload,all the
treasures are opened and goodbye to you because you will
have no more treasure chest to open and Jon and Leno
figure will not appear.These sounds a bit bad because i
once tried and collect all the chest without leaving one
and complete the game but didn't get it.You need to
leave only one chest before you complete the game and
then collect the only one remaining chest that you leave
after you complete and reload.I have not yet been able
to come out with another way for those who have
collected all the treasure chests.You will have to think
of other ways which i mentioned above.It may sound
complicated but feel fee to mail me atysf@pacific.net.sg
Chances:99.9%
You may ask how do i come out with these conclusion?The reason is simple.I have
multiple saves and i tried each and every save until i succeeded.I have four
saves and only one fulfill the two conditions whereas the other three got only
one of these conditions meet or none at all.It seems that the whole document
took up over 280KB of space in your computer and i didn't want to waste up your
space.
If you are interested in how i arrive with this conclusion,pls e-mail me at
ysf@pacific.net.sg and i'll be gladly to answer your questions.

____________________________________________________________________________
How to master these 6 specialised techniques!!!
You may have have learned all the 6 specialise techniques but do you know how to
use its properly.Techniques are special powerful combos that will help you in
your game.Now,i will explain each and every techniques and how do you recognise
them.These signs appeared only when all the combos hit your enemy,even if you
press the buttons correctly,missing any hit on your enemy will cause it to be
failure.For example,crosswise cut is made up of Square,
followed by triangle.If you press Square,you will see Musashi raising his fusion
sword.Don't wait until the fusion sword hits the enemy and then press
triangle.Before the fusion sword hits the enemy,press Triangle.If done
correctly,you will see a cross.Quick,fast and sharp!That's all i have to tell
you.The same goes for Tenderize and Desperado Attack.Once master,they can be
very useful,especially you reach an area with new,tougher enemies.
Each technique can actually inflict your enemy over 150 to a maximum of over
400 damage,provided the higher the level your Fusion and lumina level are,you
cause more damage.Look at the list.Take around 10 minutes to learn.
Tips:While you are performing each of these techniques,it's best that you zoom
in an area while performing the techniques to see the effects more clearly.
Note:Words that are in capital letters are keywords.
T:Triangle
S:Square
Techniques Combos Description
Shish Kebab Press T,T when throwing 1)THROW your enemy into the AIR by
up your enemy pressing S or T when near them.
2)WHILE the enemy is in the AIR,press
T TWICE.
3)You will see Musashi raises his lumina
sword VERTICALLY UP and PIERCE through
the enemy.
Dashing S,while dashing 1)HOLD DIRECTIONAL button to dash
Pierce 2)Then press S
3)You will see Musashi KICKING UP DUST
while he CHARGES his FUSION SWORD.
Crosswise S,T 1)Press S,followed by T quickly
Cut 2)If both hits hit the enemy and is fast
you will see a RED CROSS
Tenderize S,S,T 1)Tap S twice,followed by T quickly
2)If done correctly,the last hit,you
will see Musashi JUMPS up in the AIR
and hit with his LUMINA SWORD,follow
by a SMALL EXPLOSION.
Desperado S,T,S,T 1)Press S,T,S,T quickly
Attack 2)If all hits hit the enemy,you will see
the last hit with Musashi HOLDING his
FUSION sword on his left hand and
LUMINA sword on his DASH toward his
enemy,sending him flying BACKWARDS
with a large EXPLOSION.
Rumparoni T,when double jump 1)First,stay away from your enemy from
-SP a DISTANCE FACING your enemy.
2)Double jump and then press T
3)Musashi will DIVE toward his enemy
over a very LONG DISTANCE with his
Fusion and Lumina
Important Note!!!
Tenderize :Sometimes,you will see Musashi raising his sword but
without any explosion.That's because you missed the last
hit or your enemy dies during the 2nd hit.Try again on
another enemy and make sure all hits hit on your enemy.
Desperado Attack:Sometimes,you will noticed Musashi gets ready by holding
his Fusion and Lumina sword,however,he did not dash toward
your enemy.That means your technique is incomplete and
mainly because either you missed the last hit or the enemy
dies during the 3 hit.Too bad!It's the most cool technique
that you will learn among the 6 technique.Try again.
Rumparoni-SP :Rumparoni-SP looks similar to Desperado Attack,except now
it is an aerial attack and causes more damages than
Desperado Attack.Instead of charging up with fusion and
lumina,Rumparoni-SP enables Musashi to dive down towards
your enemy,making it more devastating.The disadvantage is
you have stay away from your enemy and timed yourself.
*For techniques like Crosswise Cut,Tenderize,Desperado Attack,make sure all
the hits hit the enemy,if not you won't see the full effects

For more info,read the Frequently asked question on #13.

For more info,refer to the bincho list above
____________________________________________________________________________
Macho's Secret
You can play a game of cards against Macho at the restaurant.It's easy.Macho
will choose a card.The game consists of guessing whether the next card picked
will be higher or lower than the original card picked by macho.Simple
concept!Each costs 100 Drans and each time,you guess correctly,you will double
your winning.However,if you guessed wrongly,all your earnings will be lost.If
you manage to defeat Macho 10 times in a row within a single game,
you will earn 102,400 Drans.That's a lot and consider how much enemy will you
need to be defeat in order to 102,400 Drans.If you win the 10th game,
Macho will longer be playing cards with you.So,if you win till the 9th game,
that is 51,200,it's best to take back your winnings and then try again,if not
you won't be able to play the cards for the rest of the game.Good luck on your
guessing.May the god of fortune be with you.
____________________________________________________________________________
Musician's Secret:Full Scale Orchestra
Did you know that with each musician you rescue,his particular instrument,
such as flute is added to the background music of the castle?Once you've rescued
them all,the music turns into a full-scale orchestra score - useless to the
game, but is in fact a welcome addition.
____________________________________________________________________________
Easy Drans
There are many ways to earn Drans.
1)Remember the 500Drans in Steamwood near where you saved Acrobat Sausages.
Simply take the Drans,exit Steamwood and go in to get the Drans again.
2)Play against Macho,provided you are lucky.
Refer to Macho secret at Mannick's restaurant above.
3)Go to the mines and find one of the places where Cure Worm fall down.For
your info,there's one there on your way to getting Gondola Gizmo.If you
stand in the right place,you can stand hitting them with Lumina as they
fall,only moving to collect money.In this way,you can make tons of cash as
well as experience in very little time.
Credits:Thanks to for telling me about ways to earn drans.
4)Go to the underground temple underneath the restaurant.In the bowler
plant door,near to the entrance, there is a platform with two plants
facing each others on it.You can kill one, run to the other,kill it, and
by that time the first has regenerated.This method gives you money,but
also experience for all your stats.
Credits:Thanks to Thorfinn Taitfor easy drans.
5)By far,the best place to earn your experience and Drans is at Somnolent
Forest before the Meandering Forest.The enemies like Hopper keeps
regenerating very fast and besides it is very easy to defeat.
6)Remember the 2 poles near where you find Leno is at Twinpeak Mt.There is
100 Drans on top of each pole.take the drans,exit and return to get the
Drans and repeat the procedure over again.Besides,magician regenerate very
fast and teleport in front of you and is a good place to max your stats.
7)After entering the cave(where you meet Hotelo at Chapter 3) and come
out,as you go up,you will see 100Drans scattered around.Take the Drans,
enter the cave,and exit to collect the Drans again.Repeat the procedure
again.The disadvantage is that there isn't any enemies but you get to earn
many mind exp.

Some Frequently Asked Question?
Here are questions that i got from all the mails.If you have got questions to

1)Where can you find the L-vest?
In the church well after the water crest is activated inside a chest.It
is old shirt.

You get to buy Princess fillet action figure.
5)I thought there was only 5 legendary armor?Where the hell did the 6th
appear?
The 6th legendary armor,L-glove or L-quilt appears only after you give
the L-cloth to weaver.L-cloth,by itself is not actually an armor but it
is a special cloth.Any item made of this cloth will have unique ability
on it.
6)What happens after you complete the game and save after the logo?
You will restart from Chapter 6 and you will get to do your unfinished
business such as buying series 6 and special action figure.

You get to see a new ending.Read the ending on secret section.
10)How do i defeat Dark Lumina 2?His right arm...
Read the strategies on the walkthrough.
11)How do i liberate the water crest in Island of Dragon?
There are high and low tides in this area.If the tides is high,you won't
be able to activate the crest.For your information,high tide occurs
between 7pm to 7am,so don't go between these interval.The crest will
resurfaced and you will be able to activate it.
12)Is there a second ending?
There are a total of 3 endings.Refer to Secret Section.
13)I failed to save Tim and returned Aqualin to Hotelo on time.What happen?
If you failed to give Aqualin to Hotelo within 12 minutes,you can still
take Aqualin and return to the village and the mayor will tell you that
it is too late but he will also try to make use of the Aqualin and
Misteria to make remedy and save Tim.However,you won't receive an orange
for free and the grocery shop won't be opened until the next chapter at
Chapter 4.You will have to wait until Chapter 4 to buy an orange to learn
Shish kebab.Fear not,Tim will be saved by chapter 4 because by chapter 4
when you defeat the Relic Keeper,Tim will return to normal.Hotelo blamed
himself(at Chap 3) for not being able to save Tim.Feeling guilty,he
decided to leave the village and left the inn and Mint under the care of
his brother,Motelo.Noone knows where Hotelo has gone to.Motelo will say
something like "It is a shame that Mint's father left the village".
Everytime you enter the inn,you will see Motelo instead of Hotelo.If you
managed to give Aqualin to Hotelo within 12 minutes,Motelo will not
appeared at the inn.However,it doesn't affect the game's ending

14)Hey!Steamwood reactor is hard.Any tips!The valve timer keep...
Look at the strategy for steamwood.If you failed to save Steamwood,that's
KO for you.
15)I can't seem to find the directions to Frozen Palace?
I have to apologise something that in all previous version,i made a
terrible mistake.The directions to meandering forest were left,Upx2,
right,upx2,right,upx2,left,Upx4 instead of left,Up,right,upx2...
It has only been corrected in version 10.0 only.The description to
meandering forest was correct.it's just that i forgot to type x2 for the
Up after the left.
16)I saw a bincho field south of where you climb with Rootrick but i can't
seem to reach it.Whose Bincho field is that?
The bincho field belongs to Doctor Tung.You can reach it through the raft
ride or using water scroll ability.
17)I have a gameshark.May I have some of the gameshark code to BFM?
Refer to the gameshark code section.
18)Who is Wig?He should be Wid,the one living in the windmill.
Oh!I make a mistake while typing.it should be Wid.The spelling mistake
has been corrected but if you really see wig again,pls inform me again
because i might forget to change while i was scanning through the page.
19)How do I get Dlumina 2 action figure?
Anytime you complete the game with your fusion,lumina,body,mind trained
up to Lv 30,which is the limit,you will be able to buy Dlumina action
figure.

20)You spelled prawn instead of pawn!
Sorry!It has been corrected.
21)Who is Motelo?
He is Hotelo's brother and Mint's Uncle
22)Is it better to give Aqualin to Hotelo on time or...?
It's best that you give Aqualin to Hotelo on time.Getting a free orange
might not be a big deal,but think about this,the grocery shop will be
closed for the rest of Chapter 3 and when you are inside the restaurant
basement,you definitely need many healing items like C-Drinks,S-revive,
Mints which are extremely useful.The bakery shop is another shop that
sells healing items but most of the items there will spoil after several
days and most doesn't healed a lot of HP.Besides,you get an orange
earlier to learn Shish Kebab technique earlier which could be really
helpful.I mean it!The only difference is that if you failed to give
Aqualin,the inn would be replaced by Motelo instead of Hotelo.There isn't
much difference and poor Mint having lost her father at an early age,do
you bear to see her so sad?
23)I'll at the ant's nest but i can't seem to get over to the other side.If
i assimilate the hop ability from the hopper,i cannot jump over to the
right side.
Try the second strategy mention in the walkthrough.
To make the second strategy easiler to assimilate the hop ability,use
water scroll to shoot at the hopper to makes it grow in monstrous
proportions to make assimilating easiler but don't overkill it.
24)Is there any way to deal with the red ants and the purple ants?
Musashi can assimilate the Depress ability from the red,spiny Needlants.
At first,this may seems useless by slowing down Musashi but from another
point,the purple GiAnts won't attack Musashi even if you come too close
to them.On the other hand,the acid ball can be absorbed from the purple
ants and can be used to melt the red ants.When the red ants is melt,it
leaves behind a pool of toxin which when Musashi comes into contact can
also get hurt.Also,this acid ball proves useful against ground creatures
like cure worms.
25)How do i defeat Topo?
Read the strategy on Topo at the walkthrough.
26)Is the game called Brave Fencer Musashiden or Brave Fencer Musashi?
The japanese is called Brave Fencer Musashiden whereas the English
version is called Brave Fencer Musashi,even though the title screen is
called Brave Fencer Musashiden.Whether it's Musashi or Musashiden,it's
still the same game.No difference at all.
27)What happened to Kojiro after he's been absorbed by Wizard of Darkness?
Not sure!Hopefully he's alive!
28)I heard that the demo disc packed with the Japanese Brave Fencer
Musashiden has two more new demo.Is it true?
Yes,it is true.Besides the Final Fantasy 8 demo,the disc pack a non-
playable demo and one playable demo fighting game.The fighting game was
developed by SquareSoft and Namco.It is a 3-D fighting game and in the
demo,there are only 3 character available and one of the character is
Cloud,the hero from Final Fantasy 7.However,the US version was not packed
with these two games.
29)Parasite eve also packs in with the collector CD and contains playable
demo of Xenogears,Bushido Blade 2,Brave Fencer Musashi and Final Fantasy
8.That makes the collector CDs more worth than the demo packed in with
Brave Fencer Musashi.
True!But the FF8 demo wasn't playable.You can only see the CG-sequence
only.If you want to play FF8 demo,the only way is to buy Brave Fencer
Musashi.
30)When is Final Fantasy 8 released?
FF8 will be released somewhere in early 1st quarters of '99 for the
japanese version and with the America version coming somewhere in October
to November in '99.

Appreciation
First,of all,i wanted to thank everyone who has contributed and those who has
mail me to for feedback.Whether it's feedback or contribution,a special thanks
to them.This FAq would not have completed without their help,not just their
contribution,their feedback on how i should improve and for those who has
corrected me of any errors,spelling mistakes.Writing a FAq is tough.It's even
more tougher than those official strategies guide book.Why?In most guides
book,you can have pictures to illustrate to make readers knowing what you are
trying to say and with groups of people planning,writing a guide but in a
FAQ,the only one who write is you and you have to gather information by
yourself.I can't believe it.This FAq has taken me over three months in terms of
playing,typing and i am making the 10th update now.There was a time i wanted to
give up this FAq because it was too time consuming.A thanks to my brother who
also do some typing for me if not i wonder how long i can finished this
FAQ.Maybe it was my love for this game that i didn't give up.
And a special thanks to Henry Chan,the FAq writer who wrote Tactics Orge.
Even though,he didn't give me any suggestion,it was his FAQ who led me to this
idea.I thought it could be fun so i decided to give it a try and it was holiday
at that time so...I think the toughest thing in writing an FAq is to let the
readers understand.In official guides or other full-colour guides book you
owned,you can have pictures to let readers know where the minku or bincho field
is located.But in FAQ,you don't have the technology to insert pictures to make
readers understand.You have to try to make the readers understand by
describing.For example where the bincho field or minku is.
Simply,because,they haven't played up to that place yet and even if they are in
that place,they might not get what you are trying to say.For example,i think i
have gone through everything very detailed but i still got quite a lot of E-
mail,asking me the same questions like where to save weaver,where is the L-
vest,where a particular bincho field and minku is and so on.But feedback is good
as i could make the walkthrough more detailed,if not all,at least understand a
little more.Even some guide books will have at least one to two spelling
mistakes,let alone an FAQ.But i have to apologise because i am not living in
United States and my command of English isn't that good.
English is still the first language in Singapore but i always get a B or C for
English all the time.Luckily,i do read some videogames mags like Electronic
Gaming Monthly and PSX sometimes so at least i am not that bad when comes to
videogames.With maps,it is easy to tell the readers the location of where a
certain item is.I think any FAq writer who read this would really agree with
me.You have to use words to replace with pictures while ensuring that you don't
make too many surprises and ruin the game because your readers have not finished
the game.That's what make writing an FAq different from writing a colored guide
book because with maps,it is easy to make readers understand and saves up a lot
of writing space and thinking skills whereas FAQ writers have to think of words
to make the walkthrough more detailed.I really respect all FAq writer and even
if FAq do not have maps like other guides book,but think about how much time
they spent and did they earn any money out of it?The answer is No,they did it
out of love for the game whereas you have to spent over $10 to $30 over dollars
to buy a guide book.I think this reason will be more than enough for FAq writer
to earn their respect.
