Back to Chapter 2-3 or forward to Chapter 3?
- You start out in a cave with a LunaP in it. Walk to the right (can't go left), and you come across a box with Bath Medicine, a box with Cologne. When you get to the end, you find Kunzite's Hi stone. But don't be fooled - this part of chapter 2 isn't that short. After Artimes talks, get the two boxes - they contain a Sariel Flower (restores 4 EP) and a Topaz Bracelet. As you try to leave, a hole opens up in the floor and you fall through.
There are no monsters in this cave. - Things are dark for a bit, but then you can see again.. and you're being chased by boys. You eventually lose them by hiding in a house. But then the owner of the house, Darcy, comes - he falls in love with Venus too. He lets you know that the village is called Rias, a village with only men in it, and he invites you to the party that will be held that night.
The place of the party, Kunzite's Temple is at the center top of the village. The shop is to the middle left and the inn is to the middle right. The exit is on the bottom-right of the village.
There is a puzzle piece in the house below the shop.
The puzzle piece pot - If you try to exit, you're told the party is about to begin. However, if you haven't talked enough with the villagers, the party preparations won't be finished. Artimes will tell you when he thinks the party preps will be finished - and they are!
- Go up the stairs behind the dais, and you'll get a little cut-scene, with Ishtar ordering four youmas to kill everyone and get the Hi-stone. Venus runs up and does her speech, and Ishtar's youma attack.
They're Henchman 1 and 2, two of each. They're all really easy, and the battle is intended to help Venus level up. - Ishtar gets upset when you win, and accidentally pushes the statue of Kunzite behind her. That causes all the people in the village to turn to stone, including you. But don't worry, you turn back to normal easily enough. However, no one else does.
- Now you can go outside the village. The monsters out here are Giworks and Akmudahs. Work on killing them with either Crescent Beams or Crescent Beam Showers.
- The path branches off several times, but the main route is to the left, then down at the intersection, then left & up, then left at the next intersection.
The last up that you can take brings you to an old castle-looking building called Zagsen, but you aren't allowed inside yet. - This village, unlike Rias, is full of women... hmmm. See a theme here? The woman to see here is called Verna - she's in the house right below the shop. The shop here has Sariel Flowers.
The inn is at the bottom-middle of the village, and the shop across from the entrance on the left. - Either go into her house or try going to the temple at the top of the village, and you will meet Verna. She takes you into the temple, where a big shiny statue of Venus is. Verna and Venus talk, and it seems the person who can help with Rias's stone-person problem is Radina, who is in Zagsen.
- Now you can get into that castle upwards of the Girl-Village. The monsters here are a bit hard. They are Docber's, and have a health of about 100 and are rather strong. Steer away from them until you're about level 11. Don't try to rush your ability to fight them without losing an exorbitant amount of hp. If they're still attacking first, stay in a defensive-type position. If they're attacking first and you're in an attack position, then they'll take your hp down farther than you'd like before you can do devastating damage to them.
As for the castle layout, go up the main hall, and to the right and down at 1st chance is a LunaP. To the left and down is a stair, while all the way to the right and down is a stair. Either one will take you to the same room on the second floor - the stair on the left is just closer to a second LunaP and Radina.
Taking the path to the right after coming up or getting to the stair close to the 2nd LunaP will take you to a dais on which a very ghostly looking person is. That's Radina and you have to fight her.
If you're strong enough to kill Docber's with one hit, then you can take her on. She doesn't hurt you much; it just takes a little while because of her high health. You get a Rias Topaz for your efforts. - You free Radina from evil control and ask her for help with Rias Village. You also learn about the some of Venus's past. And how to turn everyone back to normal.
- So go back to Rias and back Kunzite's Temple. Upstairs to the statue, and you and Ishtar "argue," and she sends a more powerful Henchman 2 after you. It has about 550 HP. Once you defeat it and fix the statue, Rias turns back to normal.
- Now you can take the path northward that you haven't used before. And you can get into the cave, which was blocked by villagers-turned-to-stone. Inside the cave is a Luna P ball and a teleporter to the Ark. The Ark has three chests on the left - the left-most has a Red Rose, top-most has a Moon Shard, and the bottom-most has a Topaz Tiara.
- Going the right and downstairs, you get a short little scene; then to the right of the room is are two boxes - one with a Bentou Set and one with a Toilette.
- Back upstairs, Ishtar appears, and the fight you've been waiting for begins! Ishtar isn't a very hard boss - she's the weakest of the Opposito Senshi. After you win, Venus leaves the Ark and you get a chance to save.
