Vane
Optional: Level-up
You have a chance to level-up here with just Alex and Luna, but if you wait a few
minutes you can also have Nash. If you level all three up to level 23, Nash will get
a powerful "All Enemies" magic, which can be super helpful in upcoming battles. If
you want to level up as just Alex and Luna...
You'll appear in the lower-left exit of a building. Head out the lower right exit and
go up and right around some buildings, then up and left to find stairs leading down
to the left. There's a statue at the top of the screen where you can replenish your
HP and MP. If you back track to the place where you found the Healing Ring , there's
an enemy you can fight which has a massive XP/Silver reward. If neither of the two
Chiro (or Ice Mongrel) enemies flee, you can earn 288 XP and 2135 Silver with a
single Flash Cut attack from Alex. It's pretty quick to get both Alex and Luna up to
level 20 here, if you're patient. If one of them flees, you will still get 159XP and
1235 Silver for each battle won. If you're really lucky while fighting these guys,
you can obtain a Chira's Tail, which increases defense by 2 and agilty by 10!
The City of Vane
When you're ready to move on, wander around and talk to everyone. Buy any weapons,
armor, and items you'd like, and don't forget to read all the books in the library.
There totally aren't any obvious foreshadowing notes in there. Nope, definately not.
No way.
When you're ready to move on, enter the building at the top of the screen. When
your party breaks up, explore all the places from the far right to the far left - in
that order. Eventually you'll be given a new quest. Talk to the guy next to Ghaleon's
desk to get more information, then head out of the building. If you want to level up
Alex, Luna, and Nash, use the instructions in the section above. When you're ready to
move on, step on the star transporter thing at the bottom of the screen.
Nanza Pass
Leave the screen with the transporter and head left and down until you get to Nanza
pass. There are several chests here, but some of them are dangerous. They'll inflict
confuse on your party and start a battle with several enemies. When confused, your
charcters will randomly cast magic on each other, use rare items, etc. Avoid that, if
you can. Follow the instructions here to avoid those and get the valid chests with
their loot.
Read the sign, then head left. The path down is a dead end, so head up and left.
At the next fork, the path right is a dead end, so head up. Continue up until you see
a chest at a fork in the road. Don't open it - that one is a trap. Head right and
down to open a chest with 50 silver. The path up is a dead-end, so head left. Go
down, following the right-hand wall until you see a chest. Head down through the
opening and open the chest for 1x Herb . Don't spend it all in one place.
Continue down following the right wall off to the right until you come to a chest
with another Herb . There's a path down from here leading to another chest, but don't
open that one! Instead, back-track up and left, then open the chest at the bottom of
this screen for 50 Silver. Now follow the right wall up, the down and to the right.
When you are directly below the chest you just opened, head left.
Nanza
When you get to the next area, save then talk to folks. There's a statue here, so you
can heal back up and get your MP back. Head to the far left and talk to the guy there
to learn you need to get Kyle's permission to pass. Wander around talking to people
and you'll eventually hear where you need to go. It's more or less in this order:
- Take a tower stair up one level and head to the top left area, and talk to folks.
You'll learn he's in a tower to the southeast
- Head down and right, then climb the tower and talk to the girl at the top. You'll
learn he went to the basement.
- Go all the way down the tower, then head left and down until you find the
kitchen/dining hall. Talk to the first person you see and you'll hear he went to his
bedroom.
- Head out of that room, then up and talk to somone in a room with a bed. You'll
learn he's in jail.
- Backtrack and enter the jail, then interact with the door at the top to start a
cut scene and get permission to leave.
- Leave the jail and go down the left and up to find a tower. Go up one more level,
out the door at the bottom of the screen. Go up and right until you find another
tower. Go in the door, down one level, out the bottom of the tower, and then go left
and exit this area.
When you get to the next area, don't go straight down and open a chest. That's a
trapped one. Instead, go left, then down, and left again. Talk to the guy you see
there, then continue left. When you see a path up to a chest, that's safe to take and
you can get a Star Light . Continue left and talk to folks, then read the sign and
head left to the next area. On the world map, go up and left, but follow the trails
up and left. The other far left path doesn't go anywhere. Save outside the village,
then head inside.
Lann
Talk to everyone outside, and inside - but go into the central building last. Talk to
folks there. Agree to let the healer join your party. Talk to folks, then leave and
go the boat down and to the left. Talk to the guy there and you'll get the boat
automagically.
Lann Island
Warning: This area has chests that can cause a weird effect. Your controls will
stop working. But at least they don't attract enemies, so you can wait for the effect
to wear off. You'll also want to stay out of the water, as that can cause your
characters to lose health while you walk.
If you find your party needs healing, you can go back down and take the boat to the
previous town and use the statue to recover HP/MP. (If you talk to the guy by the
boat enought times on one of these trips, it may unlock Jessica's Bromide 2 later.)
On the island, head up and to the right to find a chest with 300 Silver. Heading
left from there you'll run into another chst, but you should avoid that one because
it will make your guys unable to move in a straight line for a while. From there,
head left, then up. There's a chest at the end of the left path with another 300
Silver.
From there go right and up. There's a chest pretty close there which you'll want
to avoid. Instead, head right until you see another chest. Open that for 500 Silver.
Head up from there. There's a chest to the left which you'll want to avoid. If you go
up from there, you'll find another chest to avoid. Right from that is a chest with
300 Silver, though. If you far to the left there, you'll find another chest to avoid.
Instead, go up and left around the grass and open the chest to the far left for a
Fresh Ring . Equip this to Jessica to prevent conditions!
From there back track a bit and go down and left. Avoid the obvious chest and head
up and left instead. Eventually you should arrive at a tent. This will lead you to a
boss fight, so be sure to heal up when you get here! Cast Vigor and Cascade Song on
Alex, then have him use sword dance. Attach with your healers unless someone needs to
be healed/de-conditioned, and have Nash cast Magic box to suppress Magic, then
lightning magic. It shouldn't take too long to kill him off that way. Having Luna and
Jessica both able to do heal-all magic is pretty powerful here.
Once the battle is over, transfer the Fresh Ring from Jessica, then either use a
Dragonfly Wing or Jessica's Escape Litany to return to the start of this area. Head
down to leave the island and you'll go back to the village of Lann. Head back through
the Pass and go back to the tansporter screen - but before you step on it, transfer
all items from Luna to Nall. Return to Vane using the teleporter.
After Nash leaves your party, make sure Alex and Nall have at least two Star Light
and two Dragonfly Wing items, then head to the Magic Guild. Go straight through the
doors and talk to folks there. Repeatedly talk to Galeon and Mia until you get a cut
scene. When you next have control, wander back and forth for a bit, then talk to the
lady with the mask. When she joins you, check your equipment and items. Make sure
Alex and Mia both have at least one Healing Nut , Star Light , and Dragonfly Wing .
Technically you can leave the guild at this time. If Mia is really close to
learning a powerful spell, you may want to consider it. She should join your party at
the same level as Alex. At level 21 she gets a decent enemy zone ice attack. You can
go back into the trial cave and fight the ice mongrel enemies to level up, if you're
patient.
When you're ready to move on, use the blue door in the guild (to the right of the
guild entrance) and enter the Crystal Tower.
