The Journey to Capitain

Get you main characters to level 13 and (or) buy them all new equipment in Windia and be sure Ryu is at least level 12. Oh, and stock up on anitdotes. Now make your way over the mountains (at the tip of the continent) make your way to the top of your screen, and then move west.  About mid-way you'll see a house on the top of your screen.  you can stop in and chat to the monster hunters if you'd like, but they come into the story later.  Below you is a forest that you'll be able to enter with the help of Spar later in the game, (It leads to Gate, where you started)  Just keep heading west until your'e forced to move up.  Go into the town, or you can pass it and go north to a hut with a life plixer in the dresser (you'll most likely need it)  There's a fishing spot just north of Capitain.  In Capitain talk to the people to learn of their trial....something is under their town and taking those they love.

Go outside the town and fight until Ryu gets to around level 14, Katt 15 and Stan and Nina to at least 13 (for Nina's Sonic Boom), feel free to get them higher, it's all good.  The enemies in the well are extremely hard if you don't get your level up. Put all your money in a Bank and then save.  Walk into the well and you'll see Ray from Coursair.  Suddenly you're attacked by a Creon, these are the little S.o.B.'s I warned you about.  

Might as well follow Ray....Go up through the door, when a turtle is near you press in it's direction to Ride it.  Go up to turtles and fight the Creon. Ride the turtle on your'e left to get a van exit which helps alot in this battle.  Ride the other turtle on up to the treaure chest with a charm in it, this comes in handy later in the game.  Equip it on whoever.  Heal you characters then go talk to the kid.  A big ol' Terrapin appears.

 Run out of the way you came in.  Talk to Ray.  Go down, left and up the stairs.  Now Save your game and heal if needed at the inn.  Then go back down and and enter the right side door.  Talk to the villagers, when he turns to fight you, you can attack either the villager (which causes a slight variation in the plot [or you may lose a carpenter]) or the Chirioru which is often the preferred way to go. The next door has a bug in it, you can fight it for experience or just by-pass it and move on to the far-right door. Fight the next bug and go talk to the villager. Go up the right door and talk to the next one. Backtrack and go in the door o nthe left of the stairs or go back up and heal.

Go in the 1st door on the left talk to the villager then go in the right door (there's nothing in the left one) Fihgt the bug then the Chiroru. Go back to the 3 door room and move into the center one. Then go back and talk to Ray.

Apparently you get thrown outa the cave by the water, (Thank Eva!) After you're done talkin' to Ray head back to Township (the ruin's where you me Niro)

Your hut's lookin' much better! It actually resembles a house (however remotely) Way ta go Bow! Any who if you saved all the villagers Ray oofers you renew otherwise he gives you Cure 2.

Now in order to get the fabled (overrated) casino give the spell to Nina and later in Capitain pick the carpenter who builds log houses (after you blow up Sana's house)

If you're looking for Rand he's in the first room of the 2nd floor.

Ray leaves but you can now select Rand as a party member. He's a powerful ally to have on your side so get his pathetically low level up! (He'll never leave you again.)

TownShip Begins

Now make your way all the way back to Capitain. Buy Rand some armor in Coursair and Windia on yourway back. As soon as you enter capitain a woman in red is standing between 2 houses that have pinkish roofs (have Ryu talk to her.)

It turns out she's only using you as a pig, er I mean a guinea pig, yeah that's it. But it's more than worth it. Now is the part cool or what? You destroy an entire forest with the powers inside of you. In battle you have 3 more spells to pick and choose from. Yes! (All take away all of your AP....) Yep you read right. At this point in the game Ryu's low AP is a blessing! Go back to Capitain and talk to the guy where Sana was and you're warped back to TownShip, where Granny and Sana take over Bow and Ryu's house. Who'd want to live with a full size dog anyways. Don't get me wrong I love dog's (Man's best friend all the way) but ewww....anyways you never get to see inside your home.

After you talk to Bow, go talk to the guy's (and gals) in your house. (This is a politically correct walkthrough) Then go all the way back to Capitain again! And pick one of the Carpenters. Who you saved. Even if you killed everyone down there the guy in the normal houses stay's and there's nothing wrong with that since he (and his wife) cook for you. Each carpenter makes a house the way there's looks, and you can have 6 of them max.

Jean

Go to the upper left corner of Capitain (but first stock up on supplies) and go up the previously blocked ally. Its on the right side of the arabic house. Go down the stairs and across the bridge. When you get to the other side proceed left. Now on the overworld screen move up and left into the forest. Follow the path down until you see a giant frog.

He tells you of his dilemma. You may want to save now, or you can go straight to the witches tower. I would recommend going around the lake and then going into the hut on the overworld screen. There you can heal up and save.

Get your level up to about 15 by the hut for whichever party your gonna take. I'd suggest Katt, Nina and Sten. Now move up the hills until your by the pond. You should be able to see the tower on the right side of the screen.

As soon as you enter put the Hero in the lead and step on the spider tile. Just keep fighting until you can get in. If you talk to the chest all the exits close, then go talk to the guy above it and watch him get turned into stone. Head right and go up the stairs in the next room. Now go up and left. Follow the path down and then go up the stairs again. Follow the path until you get to platforms and go down. Get the chests, I have yet to discover the correct order but put Nina in Front. Backtrack back up to the platforms and hop on the far left one. Keep going left and head up the stairs. From here go down. The chest below you has an herb in it. If you want to leave now talk to the girl statue. Keep going left. Then up. Now hit only 1 of the spider switches to lower the gate in front. Pick them wisely. But try and get every chest. To the left of where you 1st came in holds a silk glove. Equip it on Nina. The 2 chests in the center of the room hold a wizard Ring and Wise Robe both useful for Nina. Now that you've made your way up to the stairs move down and get both chests. 1 holds a wise hoop, the other a wiseball. Head down and go up the stairs. Step on the switch and heal up before you enter the room.

The witch is called Nimfumu and she wants to make you her kinky play thing. Nimfumu tells you how to turn Jean back to normal once ya beat her. To get out move back a few rooms where there's the 2 chests on their own platforms and head to the black area on the upper north corner. Go back in and head to the area with 5 platforms and go to the far right one. And go up the stairs and talk to the woman in Blue. Congrats you found your 2nd shaman. Now go back to the hut. Save and heal up and then work back to the forest.

Have 1 of the females on your team go up and kiss Jean. Suddenly the whole forest shakes and Jeans magically turned back into, a, a frog?!?!?...Hmmmm.....Any ways take Jean but DO NOT GO TO SIMA FORT (in the middle of the lake). And now the carpenter finishes TownShip. (1st stage)

Put Jean in the lead and press "y". Head up to the pond due west of Nimfumus tower and dive in. Now head down the waterfall and talk to the old man for a great surprise (put Ryu in front) Now either go and save or go to the cave beneath the waterfall. Follow all the directions except take off your weapons and shields. When Wild Cat asks you if your mad say no, then yes, no, yes and whoever you want to learn ChopChop should be in front. (You can leave and come back)

Now either build your level up or use Jean to swim to SimaFort. Go in through the doors and watch what happens. The people must be a little Dumb in this castle if they don't know their own prince.......

Ah well, so head outside and watch Petape sink your ship- how nice! Then she goes and tries to drown you, is anyone else get sick of her already....? Remember Tata, you'll see him again.....The words about the snack come into play later......

You wake up to your buddies. Petape gives you gills and in the dresser is a DluxPole (fishing). Take this time to buy new weapons and armor. Now leave by heading to the boat on the water (It looks like a tub and is on the far right side of Sima Fort) Go back to the hut and hit change to get your party back up to 4 people.

Now head back to Sima Fort. From where the boat lands go left and up through the water passage. Follow it up the stairs. Next go up the next door go straight up and then go down the stairs. Fight the jailer, after you kill him go talk to Jean. Select help you. See the girl by the roaches? She's the real theif, just be patient!

Head back to the WildCat restaurant. The witch at the very top fights you, she's not very hard and gives 200 exp points a beating. Now go through the door on the right, hop in the toilet and chase the ring. You'll miss it the first time but just walk up and you'll see it float into view....(a ring that floats? Sounds kinda fishy...)

Go back into Sima Fort and talk to Jean in the Dungeon. And off you go to confront the prince.....He has a ring as well - so wait. . .who's the imposter? Then Petape (genius that she is) proposes a cooking contest to find the real prince....

Bug - Hunt


To find the ingredients to Jean's recipe go in the right side door in the King's Chamber. Pull the switch with the arrow above it and go up the stairs. Talk to the guard and give him water, now go all the way back out to the courtyard and talk to the girl frog standing next to the pond. Tell her you know where Tata is. Go back up to the roof and talk to Tata. Go in the room on the left first and open the chest for a 1000 coins, going down just leads to a dead end. (The key disappears after you use it twice) Now go in the center room and walk to the left side. Press A in front of the buckets to go down. Proceed to the left and .....look! It's the legendary gold fly!

You should be around level 17 before you come down. Also bring Tear Daggers, you may just need them. Follow the fly to the left keep going up. Follow the path. You'll see something pop out of the water every now and then - you'll encounter it soon enough .

As you move across the bridge you're attacked by the worm you need for Jean's recipe. After you beat 'em the gold fly comes and taunts you some more.....Work you way back up, heal up and save.

Now go back in and from where you 1st encountered the gold fly head right and up. Then go left and down to the chest which have a help ball and guts Bt. Now go back up to see the gold fly again. Fight your way through the B Roaches. But first go down to the left to get a chest with stamina in it. Go back up make your way to the right and go up the stairs . When you see the read roach heal up then go and fight it. Now you can either go up and fight the gold fly or go back and save, whichever you feel more comfortable with.

After the Fly cusses you out go and save. Now go back to Jean and give him the ingredients. Go up into the dining room and talk to the chef at the bottom of the room. Let the tasting begin. What's going on here, have the judges been bought out? Petape asks you to taste the dishes, you can have anyone eat the food, even switch the characters but you still end up puking.

Petape then goes and tries to blow up the castle. Go up and down the stairs and into the room labeled WC. Press A by the arrow and head right. Continue moving up to fight Kuwondra for the castle.

After you kill him he attempts to blow up the castle himself. Go up and get the sold sd. Equip in on the Hero. Then leave the room to be warped to the king. You're invited to take whatever you want so head back up to the dungeon. Take patty. You finally get the real thief! Alright! Talk to the chef on the right to get her. Now go to the right of the cockroach pit and in the door to obtain Breath AR a Royal HT and an Iron Shield. Now head all the way back to Home Town. Notice that the overworld music changes?
