Carbon Ocelot's Lunar Silver Star Story Walkthrough

Meribia

Welcome to town
Nash and Ramus will leave and you can wander around town with Luna. This is a good place to wander around and talk to folks but avoid crossing the draw bridge at the top center of the screen for now. If you head up you can find an item shop and a weapon shop. I sold all 10x Herb and bought 3x Healing Nut . At the weapon shop, you can get the Long Sword for Alex and the Small Bow for Luna (if you missed them earlier.) You can also buy a Fire Cane , which will be handy the next time you're paird up with Nash. If you keep going left, you'll find an armor shop where you can buy a Headband for Luna, and Iron Armor , an Iron Shield , and an Iron Helmet for Alex. Just left and up from there is another weapon shop. You can upgrade Alex to a Broad Sword and Luna to a Battle Bow . The town exit is at the top of this screen, but you can't leave now so head left instead.

Black Rose Street
This area has an item shop where you can buy one or more Star Light to replenish any you had to use during the slime battle earlier. I like to keep 2 or 3 on hand at this point in the game - just in case. There are other shops here, but they don't all sell things you'd really want (magical toothbrush anyone?) The Armor shop, however, sells armor for Luna. If you can afford it, pick up a Robe and a Steel Armlet . When you're done shopping, head all the way left and up into the little house there. After the cut scene, talk to Nash and Royce, then leave the shop. Remember how I said to avoid the drawbridge at the top middle of the previous screen? You can go there now.

Mel's House
Head to the screen right of Black Rose Street and head right, then up. Cross the draw bridge and enter Mel's palace. Talk to everyone here and eventually you'll fight Mel. If you have a bunch of Healing Nut items you might win, but it's not really worth it. Just spam Sword Dance and after you die have Luna heal you up. When done, go to the item shop and buy a Dragonfly Wing , if you don't already have one. Leave and go back to find Ramus. Agree to the 20,000 Silver offer, then head into the back room when given the chance. Head right and down, then enter...

Meribia Sewers
See the blue button on the wall to your right? Press that to extend the bridge that will let you progress. Feel free to talk to folks here, then head down across the bridge. This is a good place to level grind, if you like. You can leave the sewers, then leave the building and go up and right to find the statue to heal up. You can also equip Ramus with Iron Armor and an Iron Shild, and you can buy him a Battle Bow . If you get into trouble down here, you can use the Dragonfly Wing to warp to the start of the dungeon - just be sure you buy another one if that was your last!

Head down and right, and use the blue botton to drop another bridge. There's a place to the right where you can go down through a buliding and obtain a Star Light . From there, head back up, then left and down. There's another chest here with another Star Light . Grab that then head down. You'll come to a spot where there are seven paths leading down, blocked by fish. The fish give decent XP if you're a high enough level, but if no you can try to avoid them. Here's what's down each branch:

1. Nothing
2. A switch and continue to a chest with 1x Herb . After grabbing the item, head right and press the button to drop a bridge. Cross the bridge and press the blue button on the right to open up path 5. Backtrack to path five and cross over.
3. Nothing
4. Nothing
5. A blocked path (Flip switch in path 2 to unblock)
6. Nothing
7. A Chest with 250 Silver

Down and right from the bridge you'll find a box with a Herb . Grab that and head up the path just to the right of the bridge you just came across. There's another chest at the end of that path with 250 Silver. Return to the bridge and this time head right, go through the doorway, and head up. Fight through some pretty tough enemies, and at the top of the screen head right and down, then through the doorway. Grab the three chests here for 2x Antidote and 1x Star Light .

Option: Level-up
If you can stand to level-grind here, getting Alex up to level 18 can be very lucrative in an upcoming dungeon. As in, you can earn nearly 300XP and over 2000 Silver each battle - plus have the possibility of obtaining an item that will provide +2 Defense and +10 agility!

Water Dragon
Warning: Boss Fight! As soon as you talk to the thief there you're going to get dragged into a nasty boss fight. This guy can attack anyone in the front row with a majorly powerful fire breath attack. Open the menu, select Nall, and use the formation tab to move everyone to the back row. In terms of Items, give both Ramus and Luna 2x Star Light , 2x Antidote , and 1x Healing Nut . Save your game, then talk to the thief. Here is my standard battle plan:

• Alex: Use Vigor, then use Sword Dance.
• Luna: Use Cascade on Ramus, then Alex, then Luna. Heal as needed.
• Ramus: Use Antidotes if anyone is poisoned, throw a Star Light or Healing Nut to Alex or Luna if needed, and finally attack if there's nothing else to do.

When you have control again, open the menu and transfer all items from Ramus to Nall, then use the Dragonfly Wing to warp to the start of the dungeon, then head through the door at the top of the screen, return to the shop, and talk to Dross. When you have control again, check everyones equipment, replenish any items you need, use the statue of Althena to heal up, then exit the city via the gate at the top of the city screen.

Cave of Trial
Head right and down until you get to the springs (a blue circle to the left of a star symbol.) Technically you can head further left and fight some random encounters, but you'll get there eventually as part of the plot, so it's not really worth it as far as I can tell. Talk to the guy next to the spring, then leave the screen and head left to the shrine. Go inside and head to the far end. After the cut scene, talk to everyone here and then head outside and talk to the priestess there to get replenish your HP and MP. Head back to the springs with your Application .

After Nash leaves, step to the middle of the star to enter the Cave of Trials. You can't use items here, so use your magic sparingly. You'll have a boss battle that you'll want Alex fully charged for. Pay attention to how much Luna can heal for and don't waste her magic healing less than that amount. If you run across a small silver enemy called a Chiro, you can get a massive amount of XP and Silver if you can take it out before it runs away from battle. Don't forget that you're going to need Alex fully charged for the final battle, though.

The cave enterance is actually a little hard to see - head straight up. Continue up and right, fighting monsters. Go through the door there, and on the next screen head down and right. The path up leads to a chest with 250 Silver. Go back down and continue along the path right and up. The guy there can heal you, but hopefully you don't need that yet! If you do, you might want to consider reloading and doing a bit of leveling up! Go up and through the door.

On the next screen you can choose to go either left or right - both lead to the same place, though the path at the right might be harder to see. Fight the monsters and head through the door.

On the next screen, there's a locked chest on the right-hand path. Since you can't open those yet, skip it and head down and to the right. There's a chest with 250 Silver at the end of the path. Grab that then head through the door. There are a variety of folks you can talk to on this level, but the exit is pretty close - head up and right. The guy there will offer to heal you, but remember you only get that once, so I generally opt to wait. Go through the door to get to the next level.

There are a few paths you can take on this next screen, but taking the upper path can help you avoid random encounters. There's another chest with 250 Silver in the upper left corner of this floor. From there, head down and skip the left-hand path for now. Going down and left will net you the final chest with 250 Silver. Go back up, make sure you're ready, then head left to battle...

Truffle Troubler
This enemy can paralyze you, so be ready to have Luna cure that. Start off with Alex casting Vigor and Luna casting Cascade Song on Alex. Alex should then use Sword Dance until he's out of MP, then switch to regular attacks. Luna should be healing and curing conditions with Purity Song. If you have any magic left, heal up, save, then head left and up. There's a Healing Ring here that you really want! Get that, then go through the door. Head left, up, and back to the right to reach the exit.
