Hey Guys! Welcome to Luminous Arc: The Experience. I'm sure as you've noticed the majority of the guides here are written by myself, but every now and then the work has been done so well that it'd be a shame to do it over.
For that reason I present the full walkthrough, provided with permisson from Defunct32.

Spoilers abound? I think so? But I usually censored most of my stuff,
whatever the case may be, *USE MY GUIDE AT YOUR OWN RISK*, ok? Ultimately
just have good fun! ^.^;
"Christofori's Dream" by David Lanz was played throughout while I was
making this FAQs.
Started On: 17th August 2007 (Friday)
Finished On: 13th September 2007 (Thursday)
This guide is now COMPLETE in term of main walkthrough, but the "In-Depth"
section and the rest may need a little more work, I will update as I
discover new stuff or when players contribute :) otherwise consider this
FAQs finished!

defunct32. Whatever works for you.
Proper Introduction:
--------------------
Hello! This is my first guide ever I've never written any FAQs prior to
this, but hey everything has its first time right? I will try to make this
FAQs as easy to understand, use and navigate, and this FAQs will be as
basic as it gets.
I will not try to put my hands on where I am unsure of, so I won't be
covering Wi-Fi (lol?), or some other funky jazz like that.
I would also like to add that, I'm NO EXPERT in SRPGs, BUT! I enjoy the
genre very, very much, but then again, that doesn't justify anything right?
So if my strategies are "n00bish" or ametuer like that, please forgive me
If there's anything that is not right please send me an e-mail right away
[CT+]. THANK YOU! *goes to pray next to Cecille*.
Why Do You Create This Guide?:
------------------------------
I've been using GameFAQs.com for a long time now, it's time to give back,
and also the many FAQs on that site are really inspiring for me to go and
start one of my own, and I chose "Luminous Arc" for the Nintendo DS to be
my first. I hope this guide will help everyone in the long run... I can
only hope! *Went off to pray.*

Game Story: [ST!]
=================
Luminous Arc: Taken from the manual
Background Story:
-----------------
Light And Peace
The Eunus Knights from the East and the Zephyroth Knights from the West are
the holy protectors of the Luminous Church. Protected by these Knights, the
Luminous religion has led the people of the world into a golden age of
peace and prosperity,
The Shadow Comes
As a new millenium drawns, a taint of evil has begun to spread across the
land. Recent attacks by monsters and supernatural phenomena appear to be
the work of the evil "Witch of Immolation" that appeared with a burst of
scorching flames. The people have been reminded of the destruction at
Aldheld, a world-shattering battle that took place a thousand years before.
..
The Protectors
"Protect the Light, Condemn the Dark". This is the motto of Heath, Arc
Knight in the Luminous Church, and leader of the Ever Garden, a facility
created to train a group of special soldiers to protect the Church in these
times of strife.
=================
Characters: [CH!]
=================
In "Luminous Arc" (L.A. from here on out) sports a diverse number of party
members, as with all SRPGs there will be a healer, a magic user, *mumble*
*mumble* you get the idea?!
================
GARDEN CHILDREN:
================
The Garden Children are a bunch of kids taken in by the Church since they
were young, raised to fight against the Witches. These descriptions are
taken from the game manual. Later in the game, you will get to deploy up to
8 characters max, so I will be using their initial when I get to that point
in game for convenient's sake (IF NECESSARY).
Also! I've included my personal assesments of each characters, how they
fare on the battlefield, don't agree? I don't really care, lol. ^^ it's all
up to you who you want to use in the end though.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
================
Alph (Rifleman): (A) WILL CHANGE CLASS LATER IN THE GAME!
================
A boy who lives in the Ever Garden with his comrades and his younger
brother Theo. He is a bit stubborn at times, but has a strong sense of
right and wrong. He cares greatly for his brother and for his friends. He
greatly admires Heath and wants to be a Knight like him one day.
My Opinion:
-----------
The hero of the game, not really admirable on the battlefield, but his
skill set are pretty decent, since most of them hit far and wide, "Magnum"
is awesome, remember that. Also he gets slightly better in term of skill
set/stat later in the game.
============
Lucia (???): (LU)
============
A mysterious maid who came to work for the Ever Garden. She may come off as
cold, but she actually cares for people despite her guarded personality.
She takes care of cleaning at the Ever Garden with the exception of the
dishes. She cares a lot for Alph, for some reason.
My Opinion:
-----------
In all honesty, I rarely use Lucia, if ever, her list of Magic Spells is
nothing to write home about, her stats are sub-par, I mainly just use her
for healing purposes, nothing else.
=================
Cecille (Priest): (C) WILL CHANGE CLASS LATER IN THE GAME!
=================
A priestess at the Ever Garden. She strongly believes in the Luminous
religion and enjoys the peace she gets by serving the Light. She is kind to
others, with a warm heart, and believes in the teachings of the Luminous
Verses.
My Opinion:
-----------
Lol! Die fast and so hard at that too but she does her job well, just abuse
her as a healer, she will be a much better character later in the game,
otherwise it's off to praying with you Cecille.
==============
Theo (Archer): (T) WILL CHANGE CLASS LATER IN THE GAME!
==============
Alph's younger brother. Theo looks up to Alph more than anyone else. He's
usually training with Alph in the Ever Garden.
My Opinion:
-----------
A character who has yet to visit "Puberty Land," obsess with eggs and love
his brother like no other, I hated his voice-acting, but Theo can really
shoot with his bow, his skill set are the worst I've seen, I shall pretend
that it never exist. =O also, Theo's not a tank, so putting him on the
front line is like, totallyyyyy sending him to Hell.
===============
Leon (Fighter): (L) WILL CHANGE CLASS LATER IN THE GAME!
===============
Leon has lived in the Ever Garden since he was a small child, and grew up
with Alph and the others. His father was a renowned Knight in the heavy
cavalry, known as the "Lion King," who lost his life in battle. Leon has
always looked up to his father, and strives to become a stronger warrior
and live up to his father's legacy.
My Opinion:
-----------
Even though I pretty much hate Leon for his lame dialogue in the game, I've
to admit he's good on the battlefield, he delivers crazy damage and takes
in very little, a powerhouse? YES. USE HIM ALWAYS.
===================
Heath (Arc Knight):
===================
Heath is an Arc Knight for the Luminous Church. He is known as the
"Cleansing Flame," and is respected by those around him for his strong
faith and skill in battle. He is prepared to throw himself into any battle
to fight for justice. Heath's title suits great knowledge of combat. He has
a deep hatred of Witches, and believes that they should all be condemned
under the Luminous Church's power.
My Opinion:
-----------

SKIP THIS NOW! HURRY! WHOAH! QUICK WHOAMG!
Not in order:
=============
Saki (Ninja): (S)
=============
Saki has some really sucky stats, takes in a lot of damage and hit for
less, her skill set are like "oxymorons" for lack of a better word, for
example: "Speed Jutsu" really lost its meaning since Saki is already a fast
character to begin with, I don't usually use her. Period.
=================
Nikolai (Savant): (N)
=================
Nikolai sports an interesting set of Magic List, they're mostly buff (stat-
increasing magics) spells, beside having an annoying voice-acting in the
game he's pretty useful, I always start with him casting ATK UP/SPEED UP on
Alph, Leon and all my powerhouse characters. Otherwise, he's pretty much
contend praying in a corner with Cecille. (I DON'T USE HIM MUCH, LOL).
==============
Kai (Samurai): (K)
==============
A powerhouse? Not really? His skill set are lame, he's not good on the
front-line, he's just a filler character that appears out of nowhere... But
I still use him though.
====================
Mel (Torrent Witch): (M)
====================
Advocate of the Water Element, Mel is just another Cecille, to take in her
place when Cecille becomes WHOAMG! SHE'S EXTREMELY USEFUL AS A HEALER.
====================
Mavi (Nature Witch): (MA)
====================
Nature Witch, she hits harder physically than magically, her Magic List is
again nothing to write home about, she also seems to be weak physically
too? I rarely use her.
=======================
Claire (Thunder Witch): (CL)
=======================
HIGH MAGIC STAT, I love using her "Drang" spell, level her up as much as
you can she's much more stronger magically than anyone else in the game.
=================
Vivi (Sky Witch): (VV)
=================
What can I say about her? Beside being lazy and always wanting to sleep, VV
can move really far with her flying carpet (much like Saki, cept' Saki has
no carpet), and I really like her "Raging Wind"(?) spell, that inflicted
Confuse status on the enemies, it really helps a lot, otherwise her magic
set aren't all that impressive, take in quite a bit of damage and her magic
stat are nothing to be amazed about.
==============================
Vanessa (Witch of Immolation): (V)
==============================
She comes and go, but she will eventually become a permanent member later
in the game, I haven't reached to the point where she's permanent, so I
can't really say much (not that my opinion matters ^^), but her magic and
spell list are decent, she hits hard too.
==================

A SAD STATE OF AFFAIR!
===============
Controls: [CT!]
===============
In L.A. there are two types of control, the button control and the Stylus.
To switch between these two, press Select (in battle), or go to Options to
change manually. Or better yet, go and read the "Instruction Booklet." It's
there for a reason. =)
===========
Tips: [TI!]
===========
Some general tips to keep in mind, these are not "sure-win" tips or
anything but something to help you keep in check of stuff...
NOT IN ORDER:
01. As with all SRPGs (Strategy Role Playing Game) or RPGs for that matter,
remember to save often.
02. And don't be stingy with your Save Slots, L.A. provide you with 3 slots
right?! Abuse all three.
03. If you find yourself always dying or too weak to survive a map, it's
time you back-track and level up.
04. Never send all your units to meet their maker, spread them out, so they
don't clutter and be the target of multiple attacks. Apparently the
enemies in L.A. tends to go over to you, so...
05. ALWAYS STAY, DON'T MOVE. Let the enemy come to you, when you've them
cornered, unleash whatever you havw unto them. MAKE SHORT WORK OF THEM
ALL, HIT THEM HARD, HIT THEM FAST. =O
06. It always hurt so much more hitting from the SIDE or the BACK, avoid
the front if possible.
07. Always, always have a healer member in your party, level them up, and
don't be afraid to use their healing spells when you need it. You can't
fight if you're dead right?
08. In L.A. characters need to earn only 100 EXP to go to the next level,
and each time they level up, they regained their HP/MP fully, which is
a NICE touch, here's a tip: 1) if a character is dying and he/she is
about to go to the next level, let him or her attack or perform some
kind of action to regain health and magic point completely for free,
another thing, if let's say Leon has about 99 EXP don't use him to deal
the finishing blow, cause whatever EXP he will earned for that kill he
will only earned 1 point, the rest? Gone case.
09. Always attack and gang up on the same enemy, if possible, trying to
"multi-task" and attack different monsters individually will only drag
the battle, make short work of any monsters as fast as you can, the
lesser the enemies the better.
10. Much later in the game, around Chapter 5 or so, you will gain the
ability to execute "Flash Drive" think of "Flash Drive" as something
similar to the Final Fantasy's series "Limit Break." (I'm sure you have
at least played that overhyped game), the moment you have the chance to
use it, go ALL out and use it, cause you can't "save" on "Flash Drive"
the bar will reset after every battle. You will of course would like to
save it for the best moment when you actually need it, but don't ever
waste an FD by not executing it. Got it? ^^ surviving a battle and not
dying is really satisfying you know.
11. To check health at a glance, tap the X button, it will display all the
character's health on screen including the enemies, so don't be healing
the wrong party I tell you, I swear this game feels very "lazy" they
could have chosen a different color for the enemy's health bar maybe a
red one? WHOAMG! ARE YOU LISTENING MARVELOUS ENTERTAINMENT/IMAGE EPOCH?
If you make a sequel brush up on the game, clean it up give us a
quality end product and I will love you and Cecille forever! ^^;
12. You will earn 30 EXP for any Magics/Skill that help improve/aid your
allies, people like Mel, Lucia and Cecille are your healers, as long as
you heal another person other than yourself, you will earn 30 EXP, this
work for buff (stat-increasing) spells too (Nikolai's Speed UP/Guard Up
etc) I also just realized Theo has that "FirstAid" skill that will also
net him 30 EXP, abuse it!
13. Flash Drive will never hurt your allies, so if you're going to use it
and one or more of your allies are in the way, just use it, they won't
be included in the attack which is nice.
I really don't like Cecille's In-Game Voice

Oh yeah! This game will have a lot of those "Preparation Screen" (well I
call it "Preparation Screen" for lack of a better term) you can choose to
do a couple of things, Action - talk with party members, Shop (if
applicable) buy equipments/items, Return to the World Map and Advance
The Story. Whatever it is I won't tell you to go and talk to your members
it's your choice, I will just say "go buy things and advance the story" but
it is important that you talk, to understand what is going on I know the
game yaps a lot but it's an interesting to interact and talk with the
others... Ohhh MARK MY WORDS LOL! ^^
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Start a new game the moment the game start there will be some talking, you
will then require to pick any word, I don't generally know what will this
serve in the long run?! But I guess discovering is part of the fun eh? I
picked... I FORGOT, LOL! Anyway on to Chapter 1...
==============================
Chapter 1: Holy Garden - [HG#]
==============================
"Protect the Light, Condemn the Dark" - Holy Words? LOL
There will be alot of yapping, blasphemy, God, Witches and a 13 year old,
and a pair of gossipy monks (monks these days?!) Then more voice-over scene
between Alph and crew. Get all that out of the way and...
A civilian will scream for help! While picking herbs they were attacked by
monsters! OH NOES! WHAT'S NEXT?

+--------------------------------+
| BATTLE 01 - SAVE THE CIVILIANS |
+--------------------------------+
| PTY: Alph, Theo, Leon, Heath |
+--------------------------------+
| LVL: 1, 1, 1, 1 (respectively) |
+--------------------------------+
| OBJ: Defeat All Enemies |
+--------------------------------+
| ENE: 2 Roosters, 2 Minotaurs |
+--------------------------------+
| RWD: 400R |
+--------------------------------+
| SPS: VitaMint, Antidote |
+--------------------------------+
Tips:
Pretty much a straightforward battle really, I never use Theo or send him
out there (unless to deliver the finishing blow, so he could farm the EXP),
he's pretty fragile and take in massive damage, Heath have a nice spell at
his disposal "Sturm" use it to make easy work on the monsters. Not much
strategy to offer for this map. It's veeery easy.
=============
After Battle:
=============
Civilian saved, mission accomplished, Leon got somewhat reprimanded, now to
head back to the Holy Garden/Ever Garden. World Map, save if you want, WELL
I recommend that you save anyway. So do you see "NEXT?" on the World Map?
Go on...
=====
NOTE:
=====
This game is very linear so I won't be an annoying bugger and said,
"go here," "go there," etc I'll just jump chapter to chapter and provide
tips for story-based fights, YOU of course need to level up as much as you
can in between chapters I will point out if you're required to, otherwise
it's a free game. Do what you want. Overleveled/underleveled your call! ^^
I will not dictate how you play your game.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
================================
Chapter 2: Girl In White - [GI#]
================================
"Yowza! What a cutie" - Leon
Everyone will be surprised to see a girl in white (with white hair too!)
appear out of nowhere when they got back, she started calling everyone
smelly, and then introduced herself as "Lucia" (she sounded a bit like a
man, who knows? Who knows?). Turned out she's a new maid Heath or whoever
hired. More talking, broom, dorm and then some...
------------------
Preparation Screen
------------------
- Action - Speak with your party members.
- Shop - Nothing interesting. But go ahead, check it out.
- Return to World Map - You can prepare your party and save here.
- Advance the Story - Yes, move on! Choose this.
Cut to the chase: Later that night, after some lame dreams, Alph decided to
seek out Lucia, bla bla bla bla, yes Lucia is ..... =O out of nowhere (LOL)
a three-headed wolf appear, it seems like our hero forgotten to cleanse (or
was it clean?) his weapon after fighting the monsters earlier, the
demons were attracted to the scent of blood found on Alph's sword.
FIGHT!
+--------------------------------+
| BATTLE 02 - NIGHT ATTACK |
+--------------------------------+
| PTY: Alph & Lucia Only |
+--------------------------------+
| LVL: 2, 5, (respectively) |
+--------------------------------+
| OBJ: Defeat All Enemies |
+--------------------------------+
| ENE: 2 Cerberus, 1 Behemoth |
+--------------------------------+
| RWD: 500R |
+--------------------------------+
|SPS: VitaMint, Antidote, Catseye|
+--------------------------------+
Tips:
Just stay, don't move, the enemies will come to you, seems like L.A.'s AI
are "unique" in the sense that they love coming for you, instead of you
going over to them, might as well wait it out, since I just started playing
this game, I can't verify if it's the same thing every battle? Anyone wanna
verify?
Anyway Lucia came "equipped" with "Shine" and "Aid" the former is an
offensive spell, the latter is a healing spell, I spammed "Shine" like
crazy and made short work of the two Cerberus, and suprisingly Lucia hits
pretty hard with her broom too (a witch or is it because she's level 5?),
so you can go both ways with her, attacker or a healer. Another
straightforward battle, get this done and over with.
=============
After Battle:
=============
Alph realized Lucia's a lolololol. They argued for a bit, then the annoying
Leon appeared out of nowhere and blabbed some really annoying stuff and off
you go to... PALU FOREST (HA HA HA).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
===================================
Chapter 3: Condemn The Dark - [CT#]
===================================
"I stare because I care" - Leon
So you and your merry men, invaded the ever so amazing "PALU FOREST" just
because they heard a Witch is hiding in a masion at the edge of the ever
so amazing "PALU FOREST" (HOW MUCH MORE AMAZING IS THIS FOREST? =O) Leon
blabs something about bursting chest with Cecille then Heath interuptted
and silenced the two of them once and for all. Such annoying characters.
More talking, wow! They love to talk huh? Lolol.
------------------
Preparation Screen
------------------
- Action - Speak with your party members.
- Return to World Map - You can prepare your party and save here.
- Advance the Story - Yes, move on! Choose this.
Heath will get extra annoying and warned Alph about how strong the enemies
will be from here on out, and in order to maintain good spirits you must
talk to your party members, "INTERMISSION" is now available AFTER EVERY
BATTLE INCLUDING RANDOM ENCOUNTERS.
FIGHT!
+-----------------------------------------+
| BATTLE 03 - THE LAPISTIER |
+-----------------------------------------+
| PTY: Alph, Theo, Leon, Heath, Cecille |
+-----------------------------------------+
| LVL: 3, 1, 2, 3, 3 (respectively) |
+-----------------------------------------+
| OBJ: Defeat All Enemies |
+-----------------------------------------+
| ENE: 3 Fighters, 2 Archers, 1 Cleric |
+-----------------------------------------+
| RWD: 800R |
+-----------------------------------------+
| SPS: VitaMint, Cape, HolyFthr |
+-----------------------------------------+
Tips:
Be sure to protect Theo if you bring him along, cause he's isn't much of a
tank, let the others attack and let Theo deal the finishing blow from afar,
this will net him some decent EXP, OH! How could I forgot the ever so
amazing I-must-pray-every-day-without-fail Cecille, she's only good for
healing, so get her out of the way but within reach of people who obviously
need healing (like Theo), luckily the "Aid" spell's range is pretty good,
it covers a number of tiles.
Make short work of all the Archers and Fighters, then just send Heath to go
after that Cleric lady, I think her name is Tricia, but it could be
something else? Who knows? It could be Mary in your copy of L.A. or Rosy or
whatever. When the lady dies this battle will be over.
=============
After Battle:
=============
Leon acted like as if he single-handedly destroy all the enemies by himself
Leon please go away... Lucia got a little upset, maybe she's hungry? I
don't know. More dialogue, this blows! :(
Later that night: Lucia called Alph dumb, cause the lady called Tricia is
actually not a ZOMG! But she's isn't really LOL either cause she's a LMAO!
Lucia go on to say that Witches are actually way more powerful than
anything else combined. What? Lol.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
======================================
Chapter 4: Witch Of Immolation - [WO#]
======================================
"Hey, lady in Red who are you?" - Leon
The townspeople will be praising the Children for their effort against the
monsters, Leon will appear out of nowhere and started being an annoyance
all over again, Theo will feel embarassed, Cecille talks about Light and
boring stuff like that (just go and pray in a corner and leave us alone ok?)
The whole crew will then head for the "Luminous Church," Lucia asked
whether it's ok for her to visit the Cardinal (considering she's a witch),
Heath insisted, since she's one of the "Children" Alph worries and started
whispering... BLABLABLABLABLABA SO MUCH DIALOGUE, I'm feeling faint, Andre
where are you? Lend me your shoulder, assist me to your... I mean my room
and provide me some painkillers please, my world is spinning round and
round.

I ran out of cash pretty fast, so I sold off my old equipments you can try
random encounter to earn some money, but I opted to sell away all my old
equipments, either way, your call! Now, go save your game, and pick
"Advance the Story."
"???" will appear out of nowhere in a blistering, bright white light. Leon
asked "Hey, Lady in Red who are you?" Now, thanks to our beloved Leon,
we're all gonna be roasted by the Witch of Immolation -- Vanessa (you sound
like a man, by the way, who was it that voiced you? =O), Leon will act all
high and mighty again. It's time to...
FIGHT!
+-----------------------------------------+
| BATTLE 04 - THE LADY IN RED |
+-----------------------------------------+
| PTY: Alph, Theo, Leon, Heath, Cecille |
+-----------------------------------------+
| LVL: 6, 3, 3, 5, 3 (respectively) |
+-----------------------------------------+
| OBJ: Defeat All Enemies |
+-----------------------------------------+
| ENE: 3 Hikopins, 2 Behemoths, Vanessa |
+-----------------------------------------+
| RWD: 1300R |
+-----------------------------------------+
| SPS: ViTonic, HolyFthr, Toy Ring |
+-----------------------------------------+
Tips:
STAY! DON'T MOVE =O the enemies will come over to your side, I suggest
taking out the "Fire Elementals" A.S.A.P. as it could use Fire Magic on
your party, Alph's "Rifle" as well as Theo's attack really helps in this
battle, Heath's 2 panels physical attack is really handy too (to skew that
bloody Hikopins on the other side), I also would like to mention that Heath
can take in both physical and magical attacks pretty well, (maybe because I
upgraded his armor?).
While waiting for the enemy to come in closer, use Leon's "Charge" to
bolster his attack power (it lasts for 4 turns, so do some calculation,
don't just use "Charge" right away), I quickly make short work of the
Hikopins with Heath and Alph (RIFLE, RIFLE), while Theo and Leon
concentrates on the Behemoth, Vanessa soon crawled over to my side within
my reach, I sent out Leon to attack Vanessa from the back (hit her hard for
56 DMG, lucky), Heath Speared her from the side and dealt the finishing
blow! WIN!
Oh! Cecille was busy praying in the corner. I'm not kidding.
=============
After Battle:
=============
More dialogue ensues, Lucia discovered Alph is a ZOMG! Her mission is now
complete, she revealed herself as a Witch to everyone, Heath got all hot
and bothered Mel appeared in time and they disappeared into the bright
white light...
YEAAH! BRIGHT WHITE LIGHT!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
===============================
RANDOM ENCOUNTER & INTERMISSION
===============================
I will not be covering tips/strategies on random encounters, they're pretty
easy to overcome just abuse whatever skills you have/items and go all out
if you're defeated, you can always try again.
Also, now is the time to go and level up a bit, before you advance the
story, and try out some fun INTERMISSION! Try to level up after every
(storyline) battle, or at least level up till you earn very little EXP,
cause you know by then, the enemy is lower level than you. Stop and move on
(do this for every chapter, highly recommended really).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
============================
Chapter 5: Departure - [DP#]
============================
"THE WITCH BUSTERS? =O NOOO!!!" - Dil
I forgot what's the name of the place we're supposed to go, lol! But yeah
once you reached there, there will bucketload of injured soldiers, everyone
will be shocked at the unisightly sight! (WHOAMG! So gruesome!). Cecille
will offer her "service"... scratch that, she will offer her help to the
ailing soldiers, but alas it didn't turned out all that well, one soidier
mistook her for a monsters (YES! TAKE THAT, NOW GO PRAY IN A CORNER LA
CECILLE) and started screaming about some BRIGHT WHITE LIGHT! (VANESSA WAS
THAT YOU?!) =O
MORE DIALOGUE ensues! Kingston arrives (I just noticed this guy have no
eyes? The artwork reminds me of Suikoden Tactics for the PS2! WHOAMG EVERY
NPC IN ST HAVE NO EYES!) and started blabbering about God and His orders,
soon the Garden children will be known as "THE WITCH BUSTERS" ALL HAIL
CARDINAL KINGSTON HEY!
Leon's unhappy with the name, now thanks to him, Heath suggested an even
more degrading name "FATAL HOUNDS," cause we're God's lapdog carrying out
His every command! LEEEEEON!!

+-----------------------------------------+
| PTY: Alph Only |
+-----------------------------------------+
| LVL: 8 |
+-----------------------------------------+

+-----------------------------------------+
| ENE: Heath |
+-----------------------------------------+
| RWD: 1400R |
+-----------------------------------------+
| SPS: FP-Fizzy, Mittens, Greaves |
+-----------------------------------------+
Tips:
=O Heath is at level 10! (I think this depends on Alph's level too).
Alph's "Rifle" won't hit much, save your MP for later, take note that
Heath's attack is 2 panels, so it's always good to stay a couple of tiles
away from him, whenever you are low on heatlh, JUST RUN TO A CORNER (BUT
PLEASE DON'T PRAY) and use VITAMINT, then when Heath goes over to you, this
is your chance to attack him from the side or back (I usually only manage
to attack from the side though).
When he's low on health, Heath will try to get away, by then he would be
around 20 HP and below, now is the time to use your Rifle, it hits for 100%
fire away and finish him off.
I didn't had much difficulty with this battle, (leveling up prior to this
is also recommended).
=============
After Battle:
=============
Alph gets appointed as leader of the "Fatal Hounds!" Cool, I think so...
Leon gets excessively jealous (and annoying too) and said something along
the line of "I'd have chosen a different leader," lol, some people really
are lame (like me! :( what's up with lol!, zomg! All throughout this guide,
nooo!).
You will be given directions to go seek out Nikolai... Also, Flash Drive is
now available to certain characters, find out for youself! Oh the
amazingness of discovering new things. =O
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
==========================
Chapter 6: Reunion - [RE#]
==========================
"INSERT WITTY COMMENT HERE" - Dil
Port Town Ridget, yeaaah, port town, must be fun huh? Everyone started
talking about how peaceful the place is (especially the Priestess), Leon
added that the battles of whatevr is reduced to ashes, ha ha lol! I never
understood that LEON! I DEMAND YOU EXPLAIN TO ME NOW!
Theo then mentioned about Lucia, Alph got annoyed and snapped back at the
egg lover that he doesn't know or care about Lucia, Leon: "Oh! Hey, Lucia!"
Alph: "Huh!? Where!?" UP THERE HIDING INSIDE YOUR NOSE ALPH -_-
BLA BLA BLA... *mumble* *mumble*
ONE HOUR LATER
WHOAMG! LEON BATHED WITH CECILLE?! Ew, was she praying in the tub as you
splashed water on her Leon? =O
*mumble* *mumble*
They soon discovered the town in shambles all around, *weeps* *weeps* seems
like the Witch of Immolation was here to razed everything to the ground, oh
my, how disastrous? No?... =( Cecille then offered her service to ~everyone
FABULOUS! PRIETESS, BUT NO ONE WAS HURT OR KILLED LOL! NOW OFF WITH YOU.
The civilian said, someone came along and cast Healing Maigcz~ (Lucia, is
that you?) this game needs to practice some subtlety! Then SAKI appeared,
rejoice, another character to use!
Saki sounds like a robot. Wow... Everyone will talk about finding Nikolai,
Cecille will ask the obvious "So, are we going to the Western Continent?"
YES PRIESTESS!

remove your weapon. Save your game if you want. Then choose to advance the

You will be on the ship next, more dialogue ensues. everyone will mention
how peaceful and FABULOUS the sea is, then Cecille will add anoher GOLD
comment: "Oh! It's SO PEACEFUL" yeah? Now go to the deck and pray your
heart out PRIETESS.
Out of nowhere, a girl with a mushroom hat and Keropi will appear, seems
like every other person in this game love to appear out of nowhere randomly
huh? She introduced herself as the Torrent Witch, advocate of the Water
Element Mel, why is everyone and their dog is Water Elemental? =(
Well, get the dialouge done and over with, cause it's time to
FIGHT!
+-----------------------------------------------+
| BATTLE 06 - THE TORRENT WITCH |
+-----------------------------------------------+
| PTY: Alph, Saki, Theo, Leon, Cecille, Nikolai |
+-----------------------------------------------+
| LVL: 11, 12, 6, 11, 7, 14 (respectively) |
+-----------------------------------------------+
| OBJ: Defeat All Enemies |
+-----------------------------------------------+
| ENE: 5 Hikopins, Mel (Torrent Witch) |
+-----------------------------------------------+
| RWD: 1800R |
+-----------------------------------------------+
| SPS: ToxiCharm, FP-Fizzy, MagiSoda |
+-----------------------------------------------+
Lol! I forgot to record the rewards for this
Tips:
Stay, don't go anywhere, let those Water Elementals come over to you, (I'VE
NOTHING NEW TO SAY, LOL I MIGHT AS WELL COPY AND PASTE!). Once you get the
chance to control Leon, use his "Charge" skill. If Theo is in range, he
can deliver the first damage, if you want, this will actually speed things
up just a little bit.
Saki's attack range goes for 2 tiles, so you don't have to go the Hikopin's
side to attack, take note that the enemy can cast healing spells, and they
will not hesitate to use when they're low on health. So what I did is to
quickly finish off the Hikopins one by one FAST. Don't try to multi-task
unless you can perform a one-hit kill, otherwise ganging up is recommended.
Cecille is not all that useful in this battle, she has little MP to spare
(or-maybe she's just way too underleveled in my case?) this is why I
bought ViTamints like crazy, about 15 of them.
Flash Drives will prove to be very crucial (especially Leon's) in this
battle, so the moment you get the chance to use it, ABUSE IT! Don't SAVE
it for Christmas. Oh and remember whatever the case is, DO NOT LET LEON
die, he is your primary attacker, trust me, he's good with his hands than
with his mouth.
Once you've gotten rid of all the Hikopins, just gang up on Mel, (with the
exception of Cecille, keep her close so she can "Aid" whenever necessary),
use "Charge" on Leon again and if he still have any FD's left, unleash it
on Mel and with everyone else attacking, Mel will go down in no time.
=============
After Battle:
=============
Mel will be furious that she lost, more dialogue ensues, Mel also has a
raspy annoying voice going on for a kid... She cried and everyone felt at
lost, Mel kept on mentioning about "Rym" and "Fated Kinship" ARE YOU
CURIOUS MY READERS? WHOAMG! DON'T BE, cause it's not anything near earth-
shattering, lol, you will find out in due course anyway.
Lucia will APPEAR OUT OF NOWHERE and take Mel away... Well actually it's
more like Mel teleported their asses out of the ship! BLIIIIISTEEERING
BRIGHT WHITE LIGHT! WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAMGGGG!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
================================
Chapter 7: The Informant - [TI#]
================================
"WHERE. ARE. THE. WITCHES." - Saki
Theo will immediately notice an argument going on "over there," a lady with
red hair got a little upset that she couldn't get a ship out to the "Holy-
Capital" the person in charge will mention about Witches and thus making
the Capital under Martial Law. o_o? whooops?!
Cecille will be all excited to see Nikolai, "U R NIKOLAI RITE? RITE?
RITE!!!!" YES! THAT'S RIGHT PRIESTESS! ................... Nikolai's VA....
lol I don't know what to say?... BING BING BING BING, LET'S MAKE SHORT WORK
OF THE LENGTHY DIALOGUE!
FAST FORWARD.
LOL! Leon got offended when Nikolai *sigh*
*FAST FORWARD*
SAKI SOUNDS LIKE A ROBOT "WHERE. ARE. THE. WITCHES."
*FAST FORWARD*
Nikolai said something about Witches's Secrets in the Western Continent
then everyone got hungry (lol) and Theo sounds reaaally annoying, I'd have
shoved a ping-pong ball down that boy's throat in a hearbeat. JUSSSST

I went out to battle some random encounters and level up my party,
especially Cecille she was way too underleveled, you can do the same if
you want. Once you're ready, choose to advance the story.
The party went to eat @ the pub (I think), Leon of course looks extremely
happy ^^ of course, beside loving the ladies, he loves food too. Theo: "I
WANNA egg salad sandwich" wanna? Wanna? Wanna? "I want to egg salad
sandwich?" Theo, you're so wrong on so many level!
Leon then suggested the "Saint's Shark Fin" fresh from the Saint Sea, lol,
Cecille will love this, she's game for anything God/Holy/Light and Saint.
The robot will interrupt and mentioned something about Intel and stuff like
that, I wonder where is the switch off button?!
Nikolai then sensed a Witch nearby *FAST FORWARD*
Vanessa will appear out of nowhere lol! Spending some quality adult time...
Cecille will mention something about not being able to keep a man, this
coming from a Priestess? WHOAMG! Well let's just cut to the chase...
FIGHT!
+-----------------------------------------------+
| BATTLE 07 - VANESSA |
+-----------------------------------------------+
| PTY: Alph, Saki, Theo, Leon, Cecille, Nikolai |

+-----------------------------------------------+
| RWD: 1900R |
+-----------------------------------------------+
| SPS: RuneCharm, RubyBand, RubyRing, FP-Fizzy |
+-----------------------------------------------+
Tips:
There will be a Hikopin on the table to your left, Saki will be able to
reach the Fire Elemental so send her that way remember she can hit for 2
panels, so don't send her next to the Hikopin just 2 panels away and attack
you should mostly be able to move first, so send everyone to kill that one
Hikopin, but try to spread out as much as you can.
Nikolai should just buff party members, (what buffs? Your call!), Cecille
like always heal whenever needed/necessary, when you get the chance to use
Leon "Charge" him as usual, and abused his "X Slash" he will make short
work of the Hikopins really fast, and since Leon is Fire Elemental he
should be able to withstand the heat, use VitaMints when necessary.
If you get the chance to use your FD, then use it right away! Vanessa can
attack multiple target with her fire spell so be careful. Nikolai should be
healing too with "VitaMints"
With everyone healing and whatnot, this battle shouldn't be too hard to
overcome, also if a couple of your allies died, it's ok I'd probably say,
they're too weak to survive this map, people like Cecille, Theo and Nikolai
once you're done with the Witch of Immolation this battle is over.
=============
After Battle:
=============
Rym, Rym, Rym Alph will get annoyed! Vanessa will chant something very
sexy "Nogila Megila!" =O Theo will *squee* like a girl "look~~ out~~~
brooother~~~" Theo gets hit. Theo will faint, so much drama... Fast Forward
Vanessa will disappear in a BRIGHT WHITE LIGHT! =O
Next day Leon will suggest seeking out the rest of the Lapistier good idea
Cecille: Where did you go Saki?
Saki: Picking flowers
THAT'S RIGHT PRIETESS SAKI WENT TO PICK FLOWERS? ARE YOU MAD SHE'S NOT
PRAYING WITH YOU? LOL =O

+-----------------------------------------------+
Tips:
The Cerberus has a Wind spell and the Red Snake a Fire spell at their
disposal, but it's still nothing to worry about it.
Leon as always use "Charge" when it is Nikolai's turn, use "Guard Up" on
Theo, Cecille, Saki and Nikolai himself, Theo can shoot from behind the
rock along with Alph's "Rifle/Shotgun" Leon + "X-Slash" = Dead Enemy,
Cecille heal as always (to check health at glance, press the X button)
attack, heal when necessary, use FD when you get the chance, this map is
seriously a joke not much strategy to implement. :\ get all that out of the
way and...
=============
After Battle:
=============
The Civilian thanked the crew, but the monster still appears Theo came to
the rescue but something is amiss, seems like Theo's hand turned into that
of a dragon, whoah! Theo ~*FiErCe*~ but your voice could do some work! =O
More drama ensues, Alph got angry, Theo got defensive, everyone else got
upset and confused, topped this with some lengthy dialogue = ZZzzzZZZZzz.
The villagers will go against your crew, the only way to get around this
is to get out of town, LIKE NOW!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
=====
NOTE:
=====
Before I begin this Chapter I'd like to add that you might want to level up
Leon as MUCH as you can in every chapter, cause he left your party for OMG
reasons and came back with the level he left your party, bummer! I know. I
won't say at what chapter he left though (I'm cRuEl LiKe ThAt :P) so just
level him up! You will never regret it I tell you.
==============================
Chapter 9: Furnace God - [FG#]
==============================
"Facial Mounds? -_-;" - Godor
The crew is very much welcome in the smithery town of ... I forgot! Lol.
Leon said perhaps they're happy they're getting visitors (yeah like who
would visit a Smith town?).
Cecille will asked about some stone the civilian will mentioned that the
stone is a God called ... Man I forgot! Cecille who was shocked replied
"The stone is a God?" "NO PRIESTESS!" after much talking, you will get
the...
I LOVE THIS: TA DA!!

- Advance the Story - Not now.
If you talk to Cecille she will mentioned about picking herbs up, this is
actually a sidequest, as I can't be bothered to do any quests on the side
it's up to you if you wish to take up her offer (travel all the way back to
Ever Garden). This quest last till Chapter 13 as in do it before you reach
Chapter 13 I'm not sure how true this is, don't quote me on that. Either
way I'm not going to cover any SQ for now, I might in the future as an
add-on to this guide, otherwise it's all the main story for now!
Edited: I think you're supposed to finish chapter 9 THEN you travel back to
Ever Garden to trigger the Sidequest (SQ).
Now check the shop!
WEAPON:

It's up to you if you want to upgrade your equipments cause I swear every

much except for the weapon.
Now after you're done you may check the Library for some useless backdrop
about the town or just advance the story.
The crew will visit the Workshop to meet "God of Fire" lol =O oh! I finally
remember that stone is called "Harnes" OH OOPS! It's "HERNAS!" Need to go
and get my eye check. :(
"FACIAL MOUNDS!"
*mumble* *mumble*
You're doing that on purpose aren't you? x(
Vanessa will appear out of nowhere. Alph will demand that Vanessa uncurse
his brother and instead get mocked at, they also learnt that they're both
dragon like wow?!
FIGHT!

+-----------------------------------------------+
Tips:
You may want to use FP-Fizzy on Leon the moment you get your first chance
to move.
SPREAD OUT! If you're slow and Vanessa comes up to you, her fire spell
really hurt. My strategy for this map is: Leon = Charge + X-Slash he's able
to solo this map seriously Cecille should always, always heal but don't put
her in range of enemy's attack she's Water Elemental remember.
Alph should abuse his "Rile" the Hikopins are susceptible to his "Rifle"
hitting for quite a bit of damage, now when you get the chance to attack
Vanessa from the back with Leon in charge, unleash Leon's FD "Edge Slash"
on her I managed to hit her for 212 DMG and conveniently Alph was in range
I executed "Rifle" and Vanessa went down, the rest are easy to tackle.
Don't be afraid to RUN and use VitaMints whenever necessary.
This game is a ~jOke~ not to sound over-confident or arrogant ^^; sorry
if I came off sounding like that, but this game is really a breeze to play.
=============
After Battle:
=============
Vanessa will be pissed she messed up then forces Theo to fight by her side,
Nikolai added that the dragons are supposed to be the Witches' enemies
Vanessa snapped back saying that's just a lame myth your (lol) Church made
up!
*mumble* *mumble* Protect planet.
"???" will appear out of nowhere "THAT'S ENOUGH" YEEAH I HAD ENOUGH WITH
THE LENGTHY DIALOGUE lol! turned out another Witch is here, Nikolai will
"bing" like crazy to irritate your ear drums, oh Lucia is here too =*>
hehehe. Oh the other Witch's name is "Mavi." blablablabla Alph will seek
Lucia's help.
Vanessa will "yoink" the Fire Lapistier and disappear in a.... eee what's
are those black spot doing in those random areas? :( now I can say "bright
white light" Damn!
Now off with you to uncurse Theo!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
========================
Chapter 10: Wind - [WI#]
========================
"I had a nice loooooong nap!" - Vivi
We're all going on a field trip to WITCH VILLAGE! TELL ME YOU'RE EXCITED
LOL?! Alph will asked Lucia the obvious like whoah! I like Lucia's
character cold and sarcastic.
Before you actually enter the village you will need to get something deep
within the forest...
------------------

Speak with Cecille she will be reluctant to enter the village, I believe
this trigger another SQ? I don't know I think you've to escort her back to
the Ever Garden or something, *verified.*
=====
FALSE
=====
Otherwise just advance the story.
Cecille will be super extra reluctant, I guess this is what will trigger
the SQ don't quote me on this, I'm not sure if this is actually a SQ.
Anyway moving on you will soon meet up with Vivi. Such a cute and gorgeous
VA! I'm a biggggg fffaaaaan~~~ by the way Vivi I love to sleep too =>
hehehehehe! Lucia will said something about the "Chronos Gem" an item
needed to uncurse Theo, Vivi will suggest a game of Tag.
"Here we gooo... Ready... set, goooo!"
====================
What You Need To Do:
====================
+-----------------------------------------------+
| BATTLE 10 - CATCH THE WIND |
+-----------------------------------------------+
| PTY: YOUR CHOICE |
+-----------------------------------------------+
| LVL: NOT APPLICABLE (respectively) |
+-----------------------------------------------+
| OBJ: CATCH VIVI DON'T KILL HER |
+-----------------------------------------------+
| ENE: Hikopins, Vivi (Don't kill her) |
+-----------------------------------------------+
| RWD: ----- |
+-----------------------------------------------+
| SPS: -------------------------------------- |
+-----------------------------------------------+
|You need to trap Vivi with two characters like |
|so: |
| |
| YOU |
| :( OR YOU :( YOU |
| YOU |
| |
| YOU = YEAH YOU! |
| :( = Vivi |
+-----------------------------------------------+
You just need to trap her EITHER way. I can't give any more tips. It's all
a matter of luck, though it's recommended to remove all those Hikopins, get
them out of the way. Also use Saki and another fast-moving character to
catch Vivi. Also Vivi will tend to run into the corner so just send
everyone after her you will eventually trap her.
====================
After Catching Vivi:
====================
Vivi will pass you the "Chronos Gem" Rejoice! The Lapistier is actually
meant to save the planet? Are you confused? To be quite honest, I'm can't
be bothered LOL!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
=====
NOTE:
=====
We're reaching the point where we're able to deploy up to 8 (eight) units
so, I'll be using initials to list my party check my Character's [CH!]
initials. The one in the (bracket). =>
=================================
Chapter 11: Holy Judgment - [HJ#]
=================================
"I will kill you all with my huge muscles..." - Andre
You'll be at "Ring End Falls" pretty interesting backdrop, but that's all
there is to it. You're pretty near the "Witch Village" after a little bit
of talking Mel will appear again! And asks all of you to follow her, there
will be a "Preparation Screen" but nothing interesting so just choose to
advance the story.
Andre will appear out of nowhere *bummer! :|* AND a new chracter will be
"introduced" to you, his name is "Hugo" funny how his name appear without
any proper intorduction first, but alas he's pretty insignificant =O pretty
much all villian in this game are significant except *mumble* and *mumble*
Fast forward! The two oafs are here to take Theo away for eXpErImEnTs! What
the hell is the Church up to? (lol "Hell" and "Church" should never be in
the same sentence... =<) blablablabla you will eventually get into a fight
with them.
FIGHT!
I will now use Character Initials for reference go to [CH!] and the number
in bracket are their levels.

+-----------------------------------------------+
| RWD: 2300R |
+-----------------------------------------------+
| SPS: SilkCape, IronBrce, HolyWing, FP-Max |
+-----------------------------------------------+
Tips:
The Archer will come forth take her out ASAP Hugo will also not hesitate to
use his healing magic to heal his allies, so... Leon + Charge + Normal
Attack will do the trick on the Archer. After that pesky shooter is gone,
you can now concentrate on either Hugo or Andre, if you're able to use
Alph's FD "Burst Attack" I recommend you use it on Andre, the "Paralysis"
effect has a 50-50 chance of happening, in my case it did inflicted causing
Andre not being able to move and exposed to Leon :) OH! I got lucky and
Hugo got paralyzed too.
Send everyone on the right, all the way to the left they seriously can't
handle the 5 monks, once the monks come running after you, send Leon and
Alph to destroy them Theo can assist from the back and the rest of the
Witches spam healing magics!
If you managed to get Leon up to Level 23, he should have "Burning Leo"
as part of his 2nd level "Flash Drive" now this thing is pretty handy if
you have 2 level of FD bar filled up and the Monks are standing in a row
of two, abused this with "Leon + Charge + Burning Leo" you can take out two
Monks in a turn. Sweet eh?
Once you get most of them out, this map will be easy to tackle.
=============
After Battle:
=============
Andre will hurled some ridiculously hurtful remarks... :*( ~tears of pain~
just flowed down my cheek! LOL~ anyway Alph and gang will now be labeled as
"traitors" no big deal you will get around this ^.^ after much talking you
will now head for the "Witch Village."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
================================
Chapter 12: Lethe Forest - [LF#]
================================
"*sniff* *sniff*" - Claire
You will be at the entrace of "Lethe Forest" Mel will remove the barrier so
you can access the place and meet the other Witches. You will soon get the
"Preparation Screen" nothing to prepare here, if you haven't save before
you start this Chapter, then you might want to return to the World Map to
save, up to you :) once you're done, choose to advance the story.
You will meet Claire who will demand a fight with you, to test your
strength! Yes.

+-----------------------------------------------+
| SPS: Tiara, Red Rock, OpalBand, FP-Max |
+-----------------------------------------------+
Tips:
Fighting against 3 Witches is not a funny business!... Vivi will get the
first move if she uses "Poison" the moment you get a chance to move use
Antidote (if you suffer from the poisoning) then move away spread out.
Same formula apply for Leon - Charge + X-Slash or Burning Leo will almost
guarantee a victory, Leon should of course try to aim for the Witches while
the rest (Alph, Theo and Nikolai) can help aid in killing the Hikopins Mel
and Cecille back up the rest with healing spells.
If you keep up with the healing and be out of the attack range of the
Witches, this battle won't be that hard.
=============
After Battle:
=============
Claire will finally understand your true strength and welcome you to their
village well the Witches aren't all that bad? I'm sure you could've guessed
by now where this is going, after much mumbling, Claire will reveal that,
that is not a curse but a spell that will return Theo to its original form,
so yes Theo is a dragon and so is his brother, Shocked?! Well I'm not
really :<
In order to neutralize the curse you will need an item called the "Draconic
Geode" by the volcanic mountains of I forgot the name! LOL Lucia has
already gone out to get the item though, which means, we will of course be
going there too. You will have Vivi as an ally for the rest of the game.
VVvvvvvv!!!!!! :>
I recommend you level up your party a little if they're in their early 20s.

===============================
Chapter 13: Witch & Rym - [WR#]
===============================
"Sorry, babydoll." - Mel
Vivi will call everyone slow Leon called her a cheater and Mel appeared out
of nowhere, what a weird bunch, you will soon get the "Preparation Screen"
not much option! You can choose to talk to your members otherwise choose to
advance the story.
I really like the BGM (Background Music) so darn mysterious, anyway Mel
will said that the "Draconic Geocide" can usually be found "around here"
but monsters love eating rocks... So... Lol!
Leon will notice a couple of monsters "over there," Lucia will be in a
little bit of trouble, Alph came to the rescue a little bit of argument and
then it's time to...
FIGHT!
I replaced VV with Mel, cause Mel is a potent healer and will prove useful
you're given 8 units to deploy whatever you choose is up to you, but this
guide will follow and use my preferred party. ^.^;

+-----------------------------------------------+
| SPS: Wias, Ru, Nahta x2 |
+-----------------------------------------------+
Tips:
Lucia will start in the middle surrounded by 3 Gigas and a couple of others
my strategy here is that the moment you get to move Lucia, move her out of
the way, if Lucia gets hit by an enemy heal her right away! Remember you've
three healers (if you bring in Mel) Lucia herself, Mel and Cecille are
three people who can "Aid/Heal."
You can actually clutter together and leave only *one space* for the enemy
to land and attack you, those who can attack from afar (Nikolai, Theo and
Alph) can chip in, and those who can heal can just heal any other person
(they get exp) and stuff this battle is so full of win I don't think I need
to provide anymore tips than this ^^;
Oh! Of course if the enemy is waiting for you on the other side, send out
your powerhouse (Leon) to finish them, L.A.'s AI are "smart" that way.
You will figure it out.
=============
After Battle:
=============
Alph will scold Lucia! Lucia will apologize which is rare, Nikolai then
interrupt and said that Alph should be thanking Lucia instead of yelling at
her. After much talking you guys will head for the "Witch Village." to meet
the Sage.
You will meet Master Papa! (Lol!) everyone will be surprised. And Payan-
Payan will end almost all of his sentences with "yes," "yes," "yes" YES!
You will also be introduced to lol... POLLON POLLON! He will join your
party soon, so perfect and indispensable, ya! ya! ya! ya! YAYAYAYAYYAYAYAYA
Pollon Pollon will soon turn the "Draconic Geode" into a marvelous Charm
that will "contain" Theo's curse, but Theo will still be able to advocate
his dragon powers at will.
You will also be able to imbue or "add effects" to your equipments, I think
someone will make a guide on that one, I won't be covering it, too much
work hahaha! ^^; also you're now able to Wi-Fi.
More dialogue ensues the next morning Theo will change class from "Archer"
to "Rym Guardian" why not last night, yesterday or right after he put on
the charm? Lol, I don't know, but this doesn't mean Theo is any better
after the class change, he still kind of suck though in my opinion.
You will get the "Preparation Screen" but nothing much to do now, you may
want to read up in the library or talk your party members, otherwise choose
to advance the story.
There will be a fight between Vanessa and Claire (oh wow I really like the
BGM for this) and a slew of others, after much yapping the crew will decide
to go after Vaneesa! DONE now head on over to Jeidath.
=====
NOTE:
=====
And please level up all your characters or only the 8 you will be using.
You will need the extra level, try to hit the mid 30s (32 - 34 if possible)
this is not required but will help tremendously in your next fight with
WHOAMG!

+-----------------------------------------------+
Tips:
Ok this is the battle that got everyone "WHOAMG! I'M GIVING UP *WEEPS*-
*WEEPS*" it's actually not that hard, PROVIDED YOU:
- Level up (mid 30s)
- Stock up on VitaMints
- SPREAD OUT
- HEAL AS MUCH AS YOU CAN
Now when you first start try to spread everyone out do not clutter together
the Hikopins and Vanessa have fire spell that can hit 5 panel (+), spread
your party out, I know it's a little hard since there's isn't much space
but can be done.
When you get the chance to use Leon, same formula apply "Charge + X-Slash"
if you level him up prior to this chapter, he should be powerful enough to
easily take a Hikopin out team him up with Mavi = AWESOME! If you've Alph,
Nikolai and Theo in your party they can assist Leon and attack from afar.
I had Mel, Lucia and Cecille spam "HEAL" like crazy and by the fourth time
they cast it, they auto-full heal and gained a level, the basic strategy
here is simple:
- Send Leon and Mavi to the front
- Alph, Theo and Nikolai back up from afar
- Cecille, Mel and Lucia heal non-stop
- Keep everyone spread out but near enough for Heal to reach the necessary
party
- AND use VitaMints whenever necessary
The Behemoth may prove to be quite a challenge since Vanessa will most
probably raise their attack power, but no biggie, just heal up as much, I
took out all the Hikopins first and slay the Behemoths later and still
managed to clear this map fine on my first try. :)
Keep up with the healing, and this Chapter is a breeze, no more tears and
making useless topics at the web forum *AHEM!* ^^
=============
After Battle:
=============
The Wind Lapistier will calm itself down, Kingston will soon appear with a
"something" new... Well that "something" new is the Steel Witch IRIS! =O
blablablabla the Thunder Lapistier will popped up Saki will get agitated
and finally realized the Church had a hand at raiding her hometown many
years ago to steal the Thunder Lapistier. You will soon enter a battle
with the Steel Witch...

+-------------------------------------------------+
Tips:
This battle should be easy with Vanessa on your side and a lot of space to
move and spread out, you shouldn't be havng any "out of this world"
difficulty ^^;
The moment you get to move Vanessa, use "AtkUP" on Leon and whoever
happened to be standing next to him, the Gargoyle will probably move
towards you, so just send Leon out there and X-Slash the enemy to death.
The rest with healing spell will of course just spam them to =O DEATH! The
minions are a joke.
The Steel Witch is even... ugh easier? I don't know I don't think any
strategy is needed here, get them all out of the way and you will soon win
this map.
=============
After Battle:
=============
Kingston will ask Iris to activate "Hyper Mode" Iris will then activate
said mode Vanessa will urge everyone to run to her (lol!) hmm would you?!?!
:> anyway V's magic will get everyone out of that place to a nearby town
called "Madrasta" after much talking V will disappear, Cecille will wonder
if it's safe to close her eyes to pray?! And Mel countered that with "if
you have your eyes open, you can what's happening in front of you." =O OMG!

Tips:
Be as far away from Heath as you can. Two things you should always abuse:
01. VitaMints/Tonic.
02. Rifle or Magnum.
The moment you get hit, just use VitaMint Heath will attack you first
follow by his Flash Drive, guaranteed (unless he switch pattern which is
rare?) once he has unleashed his attack on you he will run away, use your
"Magnum" and try to stay as far away as you can.
I managed to paralyzed him with Alph's "Burst Attack" that last for 2 turns
really turn the table around, you may wanna try your luck with that. Heath
will be easy once you run his health down. So not much strategy really.
=============
After Battle:
=============
Heath will insist that Witches are evil beings and that he doesn't care if
God eats the world up, Kingston will appear out of nowhere and demands that
Iris destroy them all! Iris obeyed but soon fall apart when she saw Sir
Heath, she must be ~mEsMerIzEd~ ya'll!
Kingston will further add pressure on Heath to catch us all, but he
hesitated so the Cardinal executed the order himself and the Knights will
soon come running after you! Though fear not, cause someone will save you
and his name is *dun dun dun*, he's a Samurai who will help you in the name
of justice, man how nice! Haha.
Jojo will butt in and talk about giving her body away and stuff like that
SHE irritates me the most! >:( *mumble* *mumble*
You will escape and much talking later you will be introudced to a new
character -- Kai! Now is the time to level up Leon as much as you want!
Cause he will be leaving your party. Or better yet, level up your preferred
party of 8.

on you, and I really can't depend on you at all" talk. Lucia will stormed
off on her own; "Goodbye, you crybaby" :'(
"Preparation Screen," not much to do here you may want to save, well I
suggest you just save anyway then you advance the story.
IT'S Andre! Saki's right, how unfortunate that we should encounter him of
all people in the planet! You will soon...
FIGHT!

| SPS: Andre Ar, Ranta, Ru, Wias |
+-------------------------------------------------+
Tips:
The monks are seriously pushing the envelope, since I didn't really level
up my party that much I'm suffering here a bit. Well the basic still
applies though -- "Leon + Charge + X-Slash" (hit from the side or back)
will almost decimate a monk's life. If you bring in Mel and Cecille they
should be your primary healer, please put them far away but near enough to
lend a helping hand to the melee fighters in your party.
If you bring in Mavi and Nikolai, Nikolai can cast "Atk UP" on Kai and Alph
and Mavi can execute "GuardUP" on them. Your choice.
Andre will no doubt abuse his Flash Drive whenever he gets the chance, this
is crazy since Lucia isn't here your healing PoWeRz has gone down a notch,
though taking out Andre with Leon might be tempting, I strongly suggest
taking out those pesky magic-users, then get those monks out of the way or
at least bring their health down, they will run away, once you shooed them
off, you can concentrate all your attack on Andre.
Once Andre is gone, shift your attention to the monks and this map will
finish. Don't forget to keep healing and use VitaMints/Tonic whenever
necessary.
=============
After Battle:
=============
Leon will find out that Andre was the culprit behind his father's death. So
he decided to go after the metalhead while you guys go ahead and carry out
your mission with the Witches.
Mavi and everyone will knock some sense into Alph! Finally! It's time to find
Lucia...

Chapter 17: A Hero's Awakening - [AH#]
======================================
"YOU WILL DIE ALONE" - Iris
Lucia will be all by her lonesome self, talking and thinking about Alph
when suddenlty a voice was heard saying "YOU WILL DIE ALONE" well, it's
none other than my favourite robot! I R I S! (I didn't say this earlier
but I kind of like Iris) :D Lucia's fierce and insist that she can fight
alone!
The screen will switch back to the crew frantically looking for Lucia,
Claire will appear before you and said that she was worried cause she felt
Alph and Lucia separating, and that she also sense the Thunder Lapistier
and Lucia nearby, Mel will demand that everyone to step on it, Claire will
*mumble* to herself (I like Claire also). :O

Lucia will be experiencing a lot of trouble with the Steel Witch, seems
like the Lab Experiment prove to be quite a threat?! No...? Alph and crew
will arrive on time and apologize and stuff, Lucia said that she
believed in Alph all along, now, now if I were Lucia I'd say the same thing
too, Iris is kicking my butt I don't wanna die :'( so say something nice
and convince them to fight with you...
They both will perform some weird "ritual" of closing your eyes, lol this
artwork reminds me of Theo & Alph's "Rym's Impact" Synergy except it's Theo
ugh! Anyway Alph will finally change class to "Rym Hero."
Such a snazzy outfit Alph ;D his last three skills will change too, I have
yet to earn them while Alph still a Rifleman, so I don't know if the last
three skills as a Rifleman exist or not? Or maybe it's left empty on
purpose so when you change Class the new 3 skills will fill up the empty
slot? Can anyone verify please? ^^;
Alph and Lucia will learn "Shining Ray" as their Synergy. Rejoice! Now it's
time to...

Tips:
Alph and Lucia will be in the middle of the map, and the rest down below.
You should move both Alph and Lu all the way down and team up with the rest
as soon as their turn comes up of course dispatching the Cleric and Knight
along the way, they will be sandwiched anyway.
Iris will definitely use her "Flash Drive" I suggest bringing in Mel and
Cecille (you're bound to bring one of the healers anyway right? Well I
brought both), Theo and Nikolai can assist with their attack from the back,
if you bring in Mavi you can push her to the front but be sure to have one
of your healer backing her up, I'm sure everyone and everything will
squezze at the bottom screen, which is fun ^^; cause this battle is easy.
Iris is no threat unless she start abusing her FD's but couple with a lot
of healing and VitaMints you shouldn't be experiencing a lot of trouble.
Oh! Leveling up prior to this fight also help tremendously!
==============
After Batttle:
==============
All of you will be headed for the "Lethe Forest" to bring Mother Lapistier
back to the "Witch Village."
Iris.... Is NOT DEAD! That is all lol, the lengthy dialogue is killing me,
I mean dialogues/talking/cutscenes are a given in RPGs/SRPGs but man this
game talk waaaaaaay tooo much in MY OPINION, don't agree? I don't really
care lol ^^;

Chapter 18: Like, an Angel? - [LA#]
===================================
"Shiiinnyyy, Shiinnnnyyy" - Vivi
HA HA HA! From here on out this game will get extra interesting, with a new
villian! xD preeeseeenting:
(P)riel's (R)eally (I)rritating (E)veryone (L)OL! That was lame =O
Did I spoilt you? =O well it's just a name, don't get so upset now like
omg! Let's go!
Hugo will try to bring the barrier down with the Round Table Council's new
invention but it didn't work, Priel will lol'd and destroy the barrier
single handedly, indddeeeed she's an *annoying but funny* Angel.
The screen will soon switch to your crew, Claire will sense something amiss
she sensed that the barrier has been destroyed, Vanessa will appear and
repeat the same thing (durr!) Claire was called an idiot and admitted
herself to being one *sob* *sob*
Therese and Alice will cry and said that some strange man went by straight
to Mother Lapis, you will get the "Preparation Screen" but there's isn't
much to do now, feel free to save if you want otherwise choose to advance
the story.
Blablablablabla, Priel will destroy Mother Lapis, Cecille will have a
headache and fainted right away...
When she awakened -- "HA I JUST REMEMBERED MY TRUE DUTY" THAT'S RIGHT!
You will get an improved and much better Cecille -- The Twilight Witch
ahhhh! You will now also learn a new Synergy for both Cecille and Saki. Now
it's time to...
FIGHT!

| SPS: Vespe, Melan, Teros, OnyxRing |
+------------------------------------------------------+
Tips:
Cecille realllly helps in this fight! Her "Abyss" hits for high damage and
for 5 panels (5 persons), her "HealAll" covers a wide range and heals for a
lot too, Vanessa can really delivers damage with just her attack. So you
have great people on your side, and I can honestly, frankly, truthfully say
this battle is very, very easy, if you get own by Priel... I don't know
what else to say, OMG perhaps? Like so totally OWNZ by Priel is not cool =O
Now when you first start, spread out, the map is generous with space so you
can place your characters anywhere, bring in Mel for extra healing powers,
Priel will of course abuse her Flash when she gets the chance to use it,
but it will only hit for 200+ damage but still it hurts, so heal the
victims ASAP I actually gang up on Priel and it was soooo fun! LOL I show
you a diagram:
ME
ME :( ME
ME
:O :)
ME = MEEEEEEE!
:( = Priel
:O = Cecille - Spam Dark (not Abyss unless you want ME to get hurt)
:) = Mel - Spam Heal
Priel = OWN!
Attacking on all four side is really awesome, once Priel is gone, you can
concentrate on the lesser enemies, they're easy to cull so just give your
all, I didn't mention Alph eh? Cause when Cecille became the "Twilight
Witch," Alph as a "Rym Hero" fails on so many levels. HA HA HA!
=============
After Battle:
=============
Hugo and Priel will make their escape, Vanessa will run after them, Alph
will wonder how could something like that be an Angel? (well I'm wondering
too) ha ha! Oh... Mel said she is MORE surprised that Cecille's a Witch, oh
well the first time when she entered the "Witch Village" the part where she
said she heard a voice saying "welcome back" is a dead giveaway, so I am
not surprised Mel, I'm more confused than surprise actually...
Cecille said that she left the village and sealed her memory and according
to the Garden Children they were together since they were kids, so is
Cecille saying that she left the forest as a kid to join the rest of the
Garden Children? How did the Lapistiers got scattered all over the world? I
think they did cover about this topic, I think I overlooked? And how come
the Witches never mention anything about the "Dark Rune?" As in, there's
6 of them, if the planet is indeed governs by 7 elements, why aren't they
talking about where is "The Twilight Witch" their missing sister? Cecille?
I don't know where the hell am I going with this?! :O THIS GAME'S STORY IS
cOnFuZING!
ALSO DARKNESS CONTROL DESTINY? HOW DO YOU DEFINE PATH AND DESTINY IF IT'S
GOVERNS BY DARKNESS? EVERYTHING IS GOING TO BE SO DARK!!!! I'D RATHER THE
DAWN WITCH GOVERNS FATE AND DESTINY!
=====
NOTE:
=====
Before you start the next Chapter I suggest you go level up your party of 8
Cecille will be super handy now that she has a couple of healing/aid spells
"Restore" will completely revive a fallen character (full HP/MP), HealAll
covers a WIDE range and heals for a lot more... Her "Abyss" and "Dark"
spells are definitely perfect for "mass killing."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
==================================
Chapter 19: Altar of Souls - [AO#]
==================================
"ERROR. I PLAYED AN INCORRECT FILE." - Iris
You will be at the "Altar of Souls" Cecille will try to re-create the
barrier by using her "Dark Lapistier" everyone will be annoying and repeat
the same thing in different phrases and words "let's seal this place,"
"that's right ya'll let's seal this place," "yes Zehaal must not be revive
let's seal this place," "LET'S SEAL THIS PLACE AT ONCE" IF I'M IN THE GAME
I WILL SEAL YOUR MOUTH FIRST!
You will get the "Preparation Screen" now is the time to go back and save
if you want. Done? Advance the story.
OH IRIS! She will be overjoyed that she found YOU WITCHES lol! She will
play something nice for you, lol haha wrong track, she will play the real
one and accuses you all of killing Sir Heath! Of course this will lead to
so much dialogue and finally a...
FIGHT!

+------------------------------------------------------+
Tips:
Iris is a darn cheater she starts with 3/3 FD's, so what I did is push
every one to the back leaving the one with the most HP in the front, so
Iris can waste her drive on that one person, now the moment you get a
chance to move heal the victim, unless you plan on making him or her the
scapegoat, then leave the person to die.
Do not stay cluttered together, Iris and her minions have multi-target
spells. I know there's isn't much space but do you know you can jump over
to the side where the Rangers are? Oh! Talking about Rangers, they're quite
a pest, I took them out right after I've taken away the Armors (Knights),
Iris will of course keep on abusing her FD whenever she gets the chance and
will also use her most powerful spell, she will run out of MP pretty fast
though, so the key to this fight is HEAL, HEAL, HEAL! It also helps if
you're level 41 and above, I'm pretty low level, but miraculously I'm able
to pull this map off.
Yes strategy + luck I supposed? If only Leon was here :'(
=============
After Battle:
=============
Vivi will smell many people coming your way! Saki will go and appraise the
size of the pursuers, turned out to be a whole fleet of Army and their
commander is none other than Sir Heath (Iris' favourtie), Iris will butt in
and call Sir Heath, Heath will be shocked to see Iris! =O and--- *Priel
butts in* follow by Kingston whoa! We have quite a party here eh? Lol @
"Witches, traitors and 500 fools" after Priel snuffed out all those 500 men
you will see an interesting cutscene between Heath and Iris.
It's very interesting, I really like the voice-acting in this part. You
will soon discover that Iris was an orphan Heath took care of and she has
since love Heath as an older brother, Kai will step forward and Heath will
thank Kai for protecting Alph and the others. Turned out Heath has been on
our side all along, (such dramatic plot twist? *predictable really :|*).
Alph will be happy that Heath is back, Lucia will make fun of Alph sobbing
over him, Kai and Sir Heath will learn the Synergy "Holy Knights"
You will now head for the "Holy Capital." I recommend that you level up
your party of 8 to at least above level 41+
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Chapter 20: Lion's Pride - [LP#]
================================
"you're nothing but a guard dog" - Leon
"The Holy Eclipse" is proceeding smoothly according to Heath, Alph will
demand that we stop them right now! But Heath refuses saying about some
crows blocking the way bummer! VV will smell sweat and blood coming from
"that direction" so you guys decided to check it out. Of course you will
now get the "Preparation Screen." Not much to choose so pick "Advance the
Story."
You will see Leon arguing with Andre, seems like Mr. Dre is really proud to
be guarding these "Holy Gates" Leon will smack it right in his face by
saying "you're nothing but a guard dog" GO LEON! Woot~ you sound awesome
for once.
After much talking... Alph will butt in more talking... Then Andre will
summons crows and stars alike, lol according to Andre they're the best of
the best! Wait till they meet Cecille's and her "Culling" spell. :> Cecille
is a ~*Goddess*~ now you will...

Tips:
First! Move away but position everyone so that they won't miss out on the
buffings!
Oh lol! Did you level up Leon? Well I didn't lol! But that's not the point,
anyway I brought Cecille, Mel and Lucia along now the moment I get the
chance to move Cecille I cast "Magic Up" on the three Witches, the
moment I get to move Heath I cast "Protector" on the three Witches also,
when I get to use Alph I cast "RymShld" on Leon.
BUFF GALORE!
Oh yes! Andre will come "equipped" with full FDs (3/3) so it's always good
to steer clear of him first, let the monks come over to you, the Bishops
will be more of a nuisance than a threat, since they tend to heal their
wounded allies which is not cool.
What I did is to clear out all the monks first (perserving my FDs as well)
then lure Andre out into the open he will hit hard if you're low-level and
will of course abuse his FDs whenever he got the chance, this is where the
three Witches will come in handy, spam Heal as much as you can, also Mel's
"Hail" will really hurt the monks since they're of the Fire Elements, once
the monks are taken care of, you can choose to shift your attention to the
Bishops I took care of Andre first by ganging up on him, then finally
remove all the irritants that are called "Bishops."
This fight is easy! You've a lot of space to move very generous you just
need to heal very often!
=============
After Battle:
=============
Andre will finally be defeated Theo will comment with his squeaky voice....
Oh baby I cringed! x\ everyone will butt in and commend on Leon's superior
skills, you will obtain the "Regulus Heart." Leon will be surprised at
Cecille's transformation, cool! After much talking Nikolai and Leon will
learn a new Synergy "Rival Strike" man these two should just hook up and
learn another Synergy "Lovers' Strike" always bickering over Cecille. Why
hello! There are other hotter girls sheez!
Leon will change class to "Sword Master" fabulous! But it's just a name...
Lol! Now get your ass up and head to San Reise! ^^; OH LOL! I MUST SAY THIS
IS THE BEST "LIFE OF KOPIN" ever! Oh that sexy, long, luscious legs! LOLOL!

breather! =O Leon argued that there's no time for break, but the Koosanya
had the backing of a child -- Theo! Nooooooo.....

Tips:
This battle is really easy, just don't let the Templars empower you, you
can ignore the Wizards for a bit, but try to take out the Bishop cause
she heals her wounded allies as well as the Marksmen -- Archers are
annoying.
What I did is to buff up my primary attackers, Vanessa will have "AtkUP"
Heath have "Protector" (Guard UP), Cecille have "Magic UP" apply it on
your attackers/healers (atk UP/Magic UP respectively). I sent out Leon
to dispatch the Templars with Mel backing him up with healing spells, Alph
can aid by using "Rifle/Magnum" or "Shotgun" Lucia and Cecille can help in
healing the rest...
To make this fight even easier, once you've earned Cecille's "Culling" you
can use it to take out most of the enemies. There's isn't much strategy to
offer here ^^;

Kingston and Lady JoJo will be inside the Church! What the Hell are they up
to? xO Priel is in there too! She will call you cuties... Lololol. Jojo
will greet you, hell another Theo whom I can't stomach, I hate that hairdo
it reminds me of my 5 year old niece. I disgress Priel mention that JoJo
will become one with God!
JoJo will also asks Kingston to deal with you, so Kingy will present you
with his latest invention the "Rune Weapon" while you're busy being in awe
with Kingston new toy, Jojo and Priel will be busy preparing to revive God

Tips:
Oh lol! What kind of bizarre end product is this? The 4 "eyes" are not
really something you should be worried about, let them come over to you,
seems like the only spell they ever spit out is "Drang" which still hurts
over 190+ HP anyway, so be sure to spam Heal/or higher tier magic spell as
much as you can. They're rather easy to gang up on.
The real "boss" is even easier, all it ever does it sit there and do some
occasional lol attacks. I seriously shouldn't be giving any tips much less
strategy for this fight! >.<
=============
After Battle:

Kingston's new toy failed miserably, Vanessa will rub it in his face some
more with some comments, Kingston will escape and meet up with The Angel.
"Oh no! You guys totally lost already?" what a ditz :\ lolz. Jojo just
started to form the cocoon, whatever that means...?
You will soon see a picture of it, oh Jojo just 13 and you think it's cool
to be a cocoon? Lol! I really dislike that girl. Priel said that once the
cocoon hatches Master God will be resurrected, to be born out of a Cocoon
is really insulting that proves God is noting more than just a caterpillar
wait till he grows into a butterfly with Jojo on His back lol! Oh such
horrid images is flashing inside my mind x\ *shakes head*.
Alph will threathened to smash that cocoon to bits, "you are soooo lame.
I'm not gonna let you do that, I mean" oh lol God's Angel?... Priel will be
super mad now... Sooo you're like gonna fight her NOW!

Tips:
Since you can't save your game and this is your third battle in a row, I
suggest you suspend your, you know L.A.'s funny by not making your
suspend date disappear right after you load it. So why not take advantage
of it?
This battle is surprisingly easy. Oh my God I've been saying easy for
almost every battle, but I'm not kidding, one of the Armor will almost
certainly attack one of your party members, what's next? Gang up on him
thank the Heaven Priel did not come with full FDs (3/3) so you can ignore
the valley girl for a while, clear away all the lesser enemies, then just
gang up on Priel. >.<
There! I know my tips are beginning to get "lazy" but I swear upon my life
this game is getting reaaaaally easy. So I'm not gonna insult your
intelligence by telling you to do this and that. Also new formula for Leon
"Charge + HoundClaw" = Sure Win! xD
=============
After Battle:
=============
Master God's cocoon is complete! What? Nuuuuuu! Priel will disappear
leaving Kingston behind, crazy stuff! Heath will try to stop Kingston but
alas, Kingston had that flashy Bright White Light magic to get away...
All of you will decide to go to the "Kurgusasasasd Continent" however you
spell that, Theo will ask a 1 million dollar question, "is God strong?"
Not really lol! This is also where you will learn the Synergy for the two
brothers "Rym's Impact" you should try it, the artwork for it, is really
ugh... Brothers looking at each other in the eyes is so wrong, even I don't
look at my brother in that way in my 22 years on Earth. But then again I
don't really like my brother, crazy stuff.
OH! LIFE OF KOPIN! MY LIFE IS COMPLETE LOL THIS AND THE PREVIOUS ONE WINS
AT LIFE xD! Also it's time to level up your party of 8 the battles ahead is
easy, but it doesn't hurt to level up a little right?!
Ugh! The battle at the ship... The lag is a bloody torture!
