Introduction ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ sx100 -=-=-=-= =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Hello and welcome to my first FAQ, for Tales of Symphonia. My name is, as the headliner says, Alexander P. Kleinheider or better known in one future in GameFAQ's as vinheim (hopefully). I wrote for this game, just because I love it. It's been one of the best RPG series that I've ever played (Along with the Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest and Xenosaga Series, and the list can keep going and going). I hope you enjoy reading this guide as I enjoyed writing it. Any critics, suggestions, spelling mistakes, contributions are welcome, so please send them at the following e-mail: --> vinheim@gmail.com <-- The following are the only site that may host this guide: .------------------. _| www.gamefaqs.com |_ | www.supercheats.com | '----------------------' If you see this guide posted on any other site, please, PLEASE, let me know. Now allow me to take note on some things: - I don't consider myself a great writer. My walkthrough is pretty dry to me. I'm writing this for free and because I enjoyed this game (just like I mentioned above). If you are looking for tons of eloquent ways for me to say "enter here and a scene triggers", you are going to be so disappointed. This guide is way, way too big to begin with, and lofty language does not help. - If you take a quick scan thru my guide, you won't find the explanations for battle system, main menu, saving-loading, etc. Why, you ask? Well, because the game manual and in-game tutorials do a perfect job explaining the battle system. As for main menu and submenu selections, everything is covered nicely by the game manual. - The usage of abbreviations. When you're in my place or any who writes for GameFAQs or any other page, writing a guide for any game of such proportions, people complain about using too many abbreviations. You have no idea how helpful abbreviations are. It also looks better in every aspect you think. - My guide is not the only one out there. I'm not forcing you to use mine, but if you use others, then you better be prepared for lots of spoilers (maybe), which will ruin the element of surprise for you. Also, people that have problems with how I write my guide are in great minority. - The spoilers are great issues in making guides. I am a player of the game, just like you are. The first time I played through this game was completely by myself. I didn't use any guides, therefore nothing was spoiled for me. All the story's ups and downs that were supposed to surprise me had such effect. And I really think it's not fair spoiling such story elements to you. With all this said, let's start with the guide! Enjoy this guide and remember that it is a spoiler-free, so you don't have to worry about important info of the game. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= =-=-=-=- II. Game Basics ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ sx200 =-=-=-=-= =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Here, I'll give you the basics of this game, which are the controls and some of the story (from the Instruction Booklet), and I think that's pretty much it. *-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-* *-=-=-=-=-=-=-* +---| II.i Game Details |----------------------------------|--> sx201 <--|----+ '-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-' '-=-=-=-=-=-=-' Here are some or all the details of the game.

A war, however, caused this tree to wither away, and a hero's life was sacrificed in order to take its place. Grieving over the loss, the goddess disappeared unto the heavens. The goddess left the angels with the edict: "You must wake me, for if I should sleep, the world shall be destroyed." The angels bore the Chosen One, who headed towards the tower that reached up unto the heavens. And that marked the beginning of the regeneration of the world. *-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-* *-=-=-=-=-=-=-* +---| II.iii Controls |------------------------------------|--> sx203 <--|----+ '-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-' '-=-=-=-=-=-=-' - Tales of Symphonia Instruction Booklet MENU - Control Stick Move cursor = D-pad - A Button Confirm - B Button Cancel - C Stick Scroll Page - L/R Buttons Change character (Tech, Status, EX Skill, Equip)/Change item type (Items) - Start Toggle item stats (Items, Equip)/Toggle character stats (Main Menu) FIELD MAP - Control Stick Move player-controlled character - D-pad Open Map - A Button Enter towns and dungeons - B Button Cancel/Board Rheaird/Embark/Disembark EC - X Button Mount/Dismount Noishe - Y Button Open main menu - Z Button Start skit - L/R Buttons Rotate the camera left and right - Start Toggle world map TOWN/DUNGEON MAP - Control Stick Move player-controlled character - D-pad Rotate player-controlled character 45 degrees (only while standing still) - A Button Action (Speak, Examine, etc.) - X Button Use Sorcerer's Ring - Y Button Open Main Menu - Z Button Start skits BATTLE - Control Stick Move player-controlled character/item selection - D-pad Select strategic Orders - A Button Attack - B Button Perform magic of technique - C Stick Magic and technique shortcut - X Button Guard/Cancel magic and technique - Y Button Open Battle Menu - Z Button Initiate Unison Attack - L Button Delay magic or technique - R Button Change target (hold to select a target) - Start Pause *-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=* *-=-=-=-=-=-=-* +---| II.iv Status Effects |-------------------------------|--> sx204 <--|----+ '-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=' '-=-=-=-=-=-=-' Like in every typical RPG, the Status Effects are always present.

Though normally a bit clumsy and seemingly care-free, she has a strong will and sense of responsibility hidden underneath her soft appearance -- she bears the weight of the world on her shoulders. She is not the type who looks to other for protection. If anything, she is bold and daring in times of need, always willing to sacrifice herself to help her friends. >~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=< _____ | __ \ | | \/ | | __ | |_\ \ \____/enis Sage Gender: Male Age: 12 Height: 4'8" Weight: 64 lbs Class: Mage Race: Elf?

On top, the original party, and below them, the reserve party. Remember that the levels are only a reference. Go at your own pace, with levels higher or lower. I am not trying to force you people to play the game the way I played. - Enemies: I'll be displaying the enemies that you will be encountering in that area.

D I S K O N E '=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=' =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Well, please insert your Tales of Symphonia Game Disk 1 in your GameCube and turn the power ON. You'll be enjoying during a hell lot of hours this game. You'll have three options at the beginning screen, which are New Game, Load and Customize. Choose New Game and let the magic begin. After the animated opening and the beautiful narration, the game starts with a scene with our first heroes. *-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-* *=-=-=_____=-=-=* +---| V.i.i Sylvarant |----------------------------------|--> [_____] <--|----+ '-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-' '=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=' ________ __________________ / ___ _ \ / sx501 / \ \ / // / ___________________/_________________/ \// / \/ / Area #01 \ / /ales of Symphonia--------------< The Village of Oracles, Iselia > ~~~/_/~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\_____________________________________/ ~ - My lv.: --- ~ - Enemies: Ghost, Zombie, Wolf, Hawk, Giant Bee, Rabbit ~ o--Weapons/Armor/Items:-------------------------------------------------------o | None | o~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~o o---------o |> Halo < | | o-------o |Apple Gel....100G| |Orange Gel...200G| |Life Bottle..300G| |Magic Lens....10G| |Wooden Blade.700G| |Chakram......200G| |Nova.........600G| |Soft Leather.480G| |Boots........100G| |Chicken......120G| |Lettuce.......80G| |Tomato........60G| |Bread.........70G| |Egg...........50G| o-----------------o "Lloyd Irving, wake up!" are the first words of the game, and they don't sound very nice. In a rather hilarious scene you'll meet four of your characters: Lloyd Irving, Colette Brunel, Genis Sage and the Professor, Raine Sage. After the scene, when you gain control, you can talk to your classmates if you want. When you're ready, try leaving the room for another scene. When you have to, choose the top option. You're given a brief tutorial on skits, afterwards check the hole on the upper-right part of the room and obtain Colette's title "Klutz." Now head out of school and watch the scene, you can check all of Iselia. After exploring, save your game on the Memory Circle besides the school. When you try leaving N, two battles take place. Don't worry, they are easy, not challenging, and you can use them as tutorials (I guess that's what they are for). After defeating the monsters and getting a feel on the battle controls, you can finally head out of Iselia. Try buying some Magic Lens from >Halo< to scan the temple's enemies. On the world map, head NW to reach Martel Temple. Level up a bit before entering, because there's a Boss Battle as soon as you enter. ________ __________________ / ___ _ \ / sx502 / \ \ / // / ___________________/_________________/ \// / \/ / Area #02 \ / /ales of Symphonia--------------< Martel Temple > ~~~/_/~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\_____________________________________/ ~ - My lv.: Lloyd 4, Colette 3, Genis 3 ~ - Enemies: ??????*2, Vidarr (B), Spider, Ghost, Slime, Zombie, Golem ~ o--Weapons/Armor/Items:-------------------------------------------------------o | Sorcerer's Ring.....(KI) - (KI).....Training Manual | | Life Bottle..... 2 - 1 .....Panacea Bottle | | Apple Gel..... 1 - x ..... 250 Gald | o~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~o As soon as you enter, a scene takes place. Choose any answer you like when the question prompts. Then, run up the stairs, another scene takes place and right after it, a normal battle starts with 2 ?????, (not that hard) and afterwards the Boss Battle that I mentioned before entering takes place. ------------ BOSS: VIDARR ------------ - Name: Vidarr - Location: Martel Temple - HP: 4,000 - TP: 30 - XP: 115 - ATK: 210 - DEF: 21 - Gald: 25 - Items dropped: Life Bottle - Steal: None - Elemental Info.: - AA: None - Weak: None - Strong: None - Strategy: As soon as the battle starts, use a Magic Lens to keep track of his HP. Start by attacking him without giving him a chance to counterattack. If he starts guarding while in middle of a combo, Guard as soon as possible to minimize the dmg. After dealing around 500 dmg. a scene triggers and an unknown red-haired man (it's supposed to be brown, but whatever, he looks cool) appears and joins the battle. Keep attacking non-stop until he goes down. Well? What did you expected for your first Boss Battle? ------------ After the battle, watch the scene. When you gain control, you'll have the mercenary Kratos in your party. You'll be in a 3-way room. Go through the E path and at the end, go down the stairs. Upon entering this room, a scene triggers. After it, you'll fight a Golem and the scene continues. _ (S) |=| |=| |=| |=|___'_'___|=| | _ _ _ | You'll see that the floor is kinda like this. | |1| |2| |3| | | _ _ _ | 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9: No. of holes on the floor. | |4| |5| |6| | |=|: Stairs | _ _ _ | (S): Sorcerer's Ring | |7| |8| |9| | | ¯ ¯ ¯ | |=|¯¯¯¯¯¯¯|=| You'll see that after killing a Golem, it turns into a rock. Well, kill 1 more and drop it in the middle hole of the right side [6]. Now kill 1 more and drop it down the middle hole on the left side [4] and go down the stairs to the SE, go up the right path and push the block W to make fall in another opening. Cross it to obtain a 'Life Bottle' from the chest. Do the same for the other side, drop a block in the middle hole on the right side [6], go down the stairs to the SW, go up the path to the left, push the block E, cross and get 'Panacea Bottle' from the chest. Go up once again, kill another 2 Golems and drop both in the middle hole from the upper side [2]. Go down the stairs, go up the path and push the second rock N to complete the stone bridge. After crossing, a scene triggers. After it, you're told how to use the Sorcerer's Ring, by pressing the "X" Button. With this ring, you can freeze enemies, to avoid battles, so please remember that. Return to the floor with holes, and go up the stairs on the NW side of that floor. Once on the other room, follow the path to find 3 chests containing '250 Gald', 'Life Bottle' and 'Apple Gel'. Now return to the beginning (the room with the 3-way split) and go up the N path and use the Sorcerer's Ring on the wall, and then proceed up the warp portal. At the top, a scene triggers. Afterwards, talk to your party members and go down the warp portal and head back to Iselia. ________ __________________ / ___ _ \ / sx503 / \ \ / // / ___________________/_________________/ \// / \/ / Area #03 \ / /ales of Symphonia--------------< Iselia > ~~~/_/~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\_____________________________________/ ~ - My lv.: Lloyd 6, Genis 6 ~ - Enemies: None ~ o--Weapons/Armor/Items:-------------------------------------------------------o | Collector's Book.....(KI) - | o~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~o o---------o |> Halo < | | o-------o |Apple Gel....100G| |Orange Gel...200G| |Life Bottle..300G| |Magic Lens....10G| |Wooden Blade.700G| |Chakram......200G| |Nova.........600G| |Soft Leather.480G| |Boots........100G| |Chicken......120G| |Lettuce.......80G| |Tomato........60G| |Bread.........70G| |Egg...........50G| o-----------------o As you enter, turn right and head to Colette's house (the one with the well outside). Inside, a scene triggers. Afterwards, you have to head to Genis' house, which is the one on the W side of town (the house with the water puddle outside). Enter it, a scene triggers, and Genis teaches you about cooking. Now go to the school and talk to Raine and Genis will obtain the title "Brotherly Love." Now head all the way S, try exiting the village and another scene triggers with Noishe, Lloyd's "dog" pet. Outside Iselia, go NW and enter Iselia Forest. ________ __________________ / ___ _ \ / sx504 / \ \ / // / ___________________/_________________/ \// / \/ / Area #04 \ / /ales of Symphonia--------------< Iselia Forest > ~~~/_/~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\_____________________________________/ ~ - My lv.: Lloyd 6, Genis 6 ~ - Enemies: Rabbit, Slime, Minicoid, Giant Bee, Spider, Whip Master ~ o--Weapons/Armor/Items:-------------------------------------------------------o | Apple Gel..... 3 - 1 .....Life Bottle | | Leather Glove.....(AA) - x .....500 Gald | | Orange Gel..... 2 - | o~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~o Follow the path, and when you can turn right, move to the left (a tree is blocking the path) and get the 'Apple Gel' from the chest. Keep following the path and get the 'Life Bottle' from the chest. Keep going until a scene triggers. Go down the left path and another scene kicks in. Afterwards, move N and go to the W side of the wall to have yet another scene go on. After the scene and when you have control, move to the E side of the wall and jump up the cliffs and at the large one, jump to the right to find 'Orange Gel' from the chest. Now jump up the left one and another scene triggers. Then a battle with the Desians starts. No big deal. When you regain control save your game and go N. Here, move all the way N, then W and grab the 'Apple Gel' from the chest. Now move E and get 'Leather Glove' from the hidden chest. Return now to the 4-way split near the entrance, move to the NE one and get 'Apple Gel' from the chest. Head E, past the wooden bridge and '500 Gald' are waiting for you in the chest. Keep moving and at the fork, head N, around and up the small cliff and get 'Orange Gel' from the bag. Now leave the forest to the N. On the World Map, simply head NW and enter Dirk's House. ________ __________________ / ___ _ \ / sx505 / \ \ / // / ___________________/_________________/ \// / \/ / Area #05 \ / /ales of Symphonia--------------< Dirk's House > ~~~/_/~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\_____________________________________/ ~ - My lv.: Lloyd 7 ~ - Enemies: None ~ o--Weapons/Armor/Items:-------------------------------------------------------o | Apple Gel..... 2 - 1 .....Life Bottle | | 500 Gald..... x - (KI).....Sylvarant Map | o~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~o When you enter, go up and enter the house. A long scene will take place in here. Choose the top option when prompted. When you control Lloyd again, go out the house and go to the grave outside the house and he'll give you a bag with items. After that, you will be taken to Iselia automatically. ________ __________________ / ___ _ \ / sx506 / \ \ / // / ___________________/_________________/ \// / \/ / Area #06 \ / /ales of Symphonia--------------< Iselia > ~~~/_/~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\_____________________________________/ ~ - My lv.: Lloyd 7, Genis 6 ~ - Enemies: Whip Master, Bowman, ???

After the scene in here, go outside for another scene. Afterwards, save your game, head S and dispose of the Desians there. Go N and to the school. Save the villager there and he'll give you 'Apple Gel' and 'Orange Gel' for helping him. Now head S to the entrance. ------------------- BOSS: ??? (Exbelua) ------------------- - Name: Exbelua - Location: Iselia - HP: 5,000 - TP: 38 - XP: 280 - ATK: 190 - DEF: 10 - Gald: 320 - Items dropped: Panacea Bottle - Steal: None - Elemental Info.: - AA: None - Weak: None - Strong: None - Strategy: Start by using a Magic Lens. Start attacking her and when you see that it puts its right arm back, stop attacking immediately and guard, also when she puts its right arm in front of it. Well, basically, each time it moves its right arm. It has another attack in which it liberates a black aura-thing, attacks 3 times in a row. Have Genis cast magic nonstop while you try to damage her and keep her busy so Genis can cast without interruptions. --------- After the battle, the scene continues, a very sad scene, by the way. Lloyd after that receives the title "Drifting Swordsman". This is the beginning of your true journey. ________ __________________ / ___ _ \ / sx507 / \ \ / // / ___________________/_________________/ \// / \/ / Area #07 \ / /ales of Symphonia--------------< Heading south to an Inferno > ~~~/_/~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\_____________________________________/ ~ - My lv.: Lloyd 7, Genis 7 ~ - Enemies: Hawk, Rabbit, Wolf, Giant Bee, Thief, Scorpion, Sidewinder ~ o--Weapons/Armor/Items:-------------------------------------------------------o | EX Gem Lv1.....1 - | o~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~o At the World Map, start heading S, then follow then yellow road. You'll see Nova's Caravan a few steps away from Iselia, nothing of interest. Keep following the path and you'll have a brief tutorial on how to use the EX Gems, EX Skills and Compound EX Skills. Follow the yellow road and you'll reach the House of Salvation. In here, see the scene and enter the house and rest on the second floor if needed by examining the box next to the bed. Now exit to the World Map and before continuing S, move NW and in the woods, you’ll see a hidden chest with 'EX Gem Lv1'. Now continue heading S until you see a village with an oasis in middle of the desert. That's Triet, enter it! ________ __________________ / ___ _ \ / sx508 / \ \ / // / ___________________/_________________/ \// / \/ / Area #08 \ / /ales of Symphonia--------------< The Desert Oasis, Triet > ~~~/_/~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\_____________________________________/ ~ - My lv.: Lloyd 8, Genis 8 ~ - Enemies: Bowman, Whip Master ~ o--Weapons/Armor/Items:-------------------------------------------------------o | Soft Leather.....(WP) - | o~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~o o------------o o---------------o o--------------o |> Traveler's| |> Sand Shield <| |> Heat Storm <| | Mate < | | o--o | o----o | o------o |Soft Leather..480G| |Knight's Saber.800G| |Apple Gel......100G| |Leather Guard.280G| |Flying Disk....880G| |Orange Gel.....200G| |White Clock...800G| |Fine Star......800G| |Panacea Bottle.150G| |Robe..........600G| |Rod............800G| |Life Bottle....300G| |Ribbon........240G| |Long Sword.....790G| |Holy Bottle....200G| |Baret.........200G| o-------------------o |Magic Lens......10G| |Wooden Shield.600G| o-------------------o |Leather Glove.200G| Mirage Inn: 100G |Gloves........100G| o---------------o |Cape..........100G| |> Desert Rose <| o------------------o | o |Pork.......120G| o--------------------o |Onion.......60G| |> Vermilion Blades <| |Cabbage.....60G| o-----------o o-------------o |Mushroom....60G| |Flying Disk........1 Chakram & 1 Magical Cloth| |Barley Rice.60G| |Duel Ring.............1 Chakram & 1 Beast Fang| |Bread.......70G| |Hard Leather.....1 Soft Leather & 1 Beast Hide| |Red Satay..200G| o----------------------------------------------o o---------------o After the initial scene, move to the NW side of the market area and you'll receive a tutorial about Customization. If you have a Beast Hide, give it to him and he'll make you a Soft Leather, the Rabbit enemy in the Iselia Region gives you a Beast Hide, I think. Afterwards, customize a Hard Leather. You better enter Triet with at least 2800 Gald, because there are some expensive stuff to buy here. Buy a Knight's Saber and a Fine Star from >Heat Storm<. From >Sand Shield< buy a White Cloak, a Beret and 2 Capes (Well, 4 if you have the money). If you have to sell, go on, but be sure to leave at least 100 Gald for the fortune teller. Now go to the Inn, up to the second floor and at the end, examine the green thingy on the floor (I'm pretty sure it's a Japanese sculpture) to have Wonder Chef appear and teach you "Cabbage Rolls". Spend the night, if you can and leave the market area to the N. At the end of the road is the fortune teller in her hut. Go in, pay her and watch the scene. Afterwards, return to the entrance and examine the wanted poster near the Inn's entrance. Afterwards, try exiting Triet to trigger a scene. After it, an easy battle takes place (it should be thanks to the equipment upgrade you just did), and another scene. ________ __________________ / ___ _ \ / sx509 / \ \ / // / ___________________/_________________/ \// / \/ / Area #09 \ / /ales of Symphonia--------------< Sylvarant Base > ~~~/_/~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\_____________________________________/ ~ - My lv.: Lloyd 8 ~ - Enemies: Foot Soldier, Raybit, Botta/Foot Soldier x2 (B) ~ o--Weapons/Armor/Items:-------------------------------------------------------o | Beast Hide..... 1 - 1 .....Magical Cloth | | Beast Fang..... 1 - | o~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~o o-------------------o |> Vending Machine <| | | |Apple Gel......100G| |Orange Gel.....200G| |Panacea Bottle.150G| |Life Bottle....300G| |Magic Lens......10G| o-------------------o As you start, hit the guard guarding your cell with the Sorcerer's Ring. Now open the door and grab the 'Beast Hide' from the chest to your W and save at the save point to the W of the chest (Did you notice that you can't open the menu?). Now go E and open the chest in the open area to receive your equipment. Now keep going down the hall and fight 2 Desians and go into the room to the N. In here, watch the scene, and check the pedestal to change the function of the Sorcerer's Ring. Now electrify the enemies on top of the blue panels with help of the Ring. Pass the door and dispose of the enemy to the N of the fork to receive a Memory Gem, which unlocks a Memory Seal. Now go through the door to the N and get the 'Beast Fang' from the chest and you can use the yellow machine to buy items. Return and now go through the door to the W. In here, unlock the Memory Circle, save and shoot at the top and middle pillar at the W side of the room, go through the door to the S and get the 'Magical Cloth' from the chest. Now shoot at the top pillar, middle pillar and bottom pillar in that order and go through the N door. At the fork, a scene triggers and at the end of it, a Boss Battle begins! --------------------------- BOSS: BOTTA/FOOT SOLDIER X2 --------------------------- a) Botta - Location: Sylvarant Base - HP: 4,200 - TP: 224 - ATK: 205 - DEF: 35 - XP: 475 - Gald: 1500 - Items dropped: Poison Charm - Steal: ??? - Elemental Info.: - AA: None - Weak: None - Strong: None b) Foot Soldier x2 - Location: Sylvarant Base - HP: 823 - TP: 0 - ATK: 130 - DEF: 10 - XP: 15 - Gald: 13 - Items dropped: None - Steal: None - Elemental Info.: - AA: None - Weak: None - Strong: None - Strategy: First of all, dispose of the 2 Foot Soldiers as soon as you can, since they have less HP. After them, Botta is up next. He is quite more challenging that the other 2. As well as Genis, Botta has the ability to cast Spells. I recommend you taking the Foot Soldiers while the others take on Botta. If healing is necessary, Kratos will surely aid you, but if in any case you need HP quickly, forget about him and use a Gel. Just like Exbelua in Iselia, if you're combo-ing him and all of a sudden starts defending, quit the combo and start guarding as soon as possible to receive his attack. After a while, he'll go down. --------------------------- After the battle, a scene starts and at the end of it, you'll be at the World Map. From where you are, start moving directly E and examine the monolith there to have long range view in Triet area. Now just move to Triet once again. ________ __________________ / ___ _ \ / sx510 / \ \ / // / ___________________/_________________/ \// / \/ / Area #10 \ / /ales of Symphonia--------------< Triet > ~~~/_/~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\_____________________________________/ ~ - My lv.: Lloyd 10, Genis 9, Colette 7, Kratos 8 ~ - Enemies: None ~ o--Weapons/Armor/Items:-------------------------------------------------------o | Monster List.....(KI) - | o~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~o o------------o o---------------o o--------------o |> Traveler's| |> Sand Shield <| |> Heat Storm <| | Mate < | | o--o | o----o | o------o |Soft Leather..480G| |Knight's Saber.800G| |Apple Gel......100G| |Leather Guard.280G| |Flying Disk....880G| |Orange Gel.....200G| |White Clock...800G| |Fine Star......800G| |Panacea Bottle.150G| |Robe..........600G| |Rod............800G| |Life Bottle....300G| |Ribbon........240G| |Long Sword.....790G| |Holy Bottle....200G| |Baret.........200G| o-------------------o |Magic Lens......10G| |Wooden Shield.600G| o-------------------o |Leather Glove.200G| Mirage Inn: 100G |Gloves........100G| o---------------o |Cape..........100G| |> Desert Rose <| o------------------o | o |Pork.......120G| o--------------------o |Onion.......60G| |> Vermilion Blades <| |Cabbage.....60G| o-----------o o-------------o |Mushroom....60G| |Flying Disk........1 Chakram & 1 Magical Cloth| |Barley Rice.60G| |Duel Ring.............1 Chakram & 1 Beast Fang| |Bread.......70G| |Hard Leather.....1 Soft Leather & 1 Beast Hide| |Red Satay..200G| o----------------------------------------------o o---------------o As you enter there is a scene.

Afterwards, Kratos teaches all 4 members a Skill to defend against magic and other attacks. Now, check the hole to the W to trigger another scene and Raine receives the title "Archeological Maniac". Go in the hole. Once inside, go W and at the fork, go S and at the end, there's a chest covered with rocks. Use your Sorcerer's Ring to uncover it and obtain the 'Lemon Gel' from the inside. Now return to the fork and go N and at the end there's a chest. But be careful, because it's a Fake. These are unique strong enemies that can only be damaged with magic. -------------- SUB-BOSS: FAKE -------------- - Name: Fake - Location: Triet Ruins - HP: 400 - TP: 50 - ATK: 280 - DEF: 250 - XP: 30 - Gald: 25 - Items dropped: All-Divide - Steal: ??? - Elemental Info.: - AA: None - Weak: None - Strong: All - Normal: None - Strategy: I recommend a party of Lloyd (you), Raine, Genis and Kratos. Deactivate all of Kratos attacks except for Fire Ball and Wind Blade (if you have it). As soon as you enter the battle, give the "All out" order by pressing -> on the D-pad. Put yourself in front of the Fake and start guarding and using Guardian every now and then. Kratos and Genis will start attacking the Fake with magic and keeping a distance from it. Raine's duty here is to support you with her healing arts. In doing so, you'll win the battle in no time. -------------- You'll find a 'Spirit Bottle' after the fight. Return to the S end of the fork and enter the door. The hawk enemy in this room has the Memory Gem of the dungeon. Now go up the stairs here and lit up the torch on the wall. Go back down the stairs and now lit up the one on the E side of the room. Exit the room, return to the fork and enter the door in the middle. Here, head S and open the chest containing 'Apple Gel', now go N, around the pillar and get 'Bracelet' and 'Life Bottle' from the chests. Now the 2 blocks, push them down at the center of the room, creating a "bridge". Go up the ramp and get 'Savory' from the chest. Continue the path on this floor and get 'Mumei' and '1000 Gald' from the chests. Return down the ramp and exit the room. Head N at the fork and in here, follow the path, push the block S and get 'Stiletto' from the chest. Now lit the torch. Now return to the fork and go in the middle door. Lit the torch at the end of the "bridge". Return to the fork, go N and make your way up the several stairs and get 'Circlet' from the chest. Now unlock the memory seal, save your game, enter the warp portal and prepare for a Boss Battle! ---------------------------- BOSS: KTUGACH/KTUGACHLING X2 ---------------------------- a) Ktugach - Location: Triet Ruins - HP: 5,000 - TP: 50 - ATK: 300 - DEF: 28 - XP: 628 - Gald: 85 - Items dropped: Red Quartz - Steal: None - Elemental Info.: - AA: None - Weak: Water, Ice - Strong: Fire b) Ktugachling x2 - Location: Triet Ruins - HP: 1,500 - TP: 180 - ATK: 130 - DEF: 40 - XP: 60 - Gald: 15 - Items dropped: None - Steal: None - Elemental Info.: - AA: None - Weak: Water, Ice - Strong: Fire - Strategy: As you start, if you chose to have Genis in your party (which I forgot to do), deactivate all his spells, except for Aqua Edge. For Kratos, deactivate Fire Ball. This Boss has some nasty attacks, so be careful. My party was Lloyd, Raine, Colette and Kratos. Have Kratos and Raine be the healers while you and Colette are the attackers. First of all, dispose of the Ktugachlings, since they have less HP, but not only that, but because they can use magic and rip your party apart. After they're gone, focus on Ktugach, the big pops. He is a though sucker who likes to put defense, but keep attacking between the 4 characters and you'll break his defense. ---------------------------- After the battle, a scene automatically kicks in. WOW!!! Colette has wings. She learns the "Angel Feathers" tech, a very nice one by the way. Now make your way to the entrance, a scene triggers and you'll be at a Camping Spot. Talk to whomever you want and to end this, just speak to Colette twice. You'll soon know that your next direction is Palmacosta, but first you need to get pass Ossa Trail. So, head to Triet to restock your arsenal at >Traveler's Mate<, but a scene triggers as soon as you enter and Raine obtains the title "Sisterly Love". Now go and stay at the Inn for a scene to take place. When you exit Triet, head directly E to find Ossa Trail. ________ __________________ / ___ _ \ / sx512 / \ \ / // / ___________________/_________________/ \// / \/ / Area #12 \ / /ales of Symphonia--------------< Ossa Trail > ~~~/_/~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\_____________________________________/ ~ - My lv.: Lloyd 12, Raine 10, Colette 10, Kratos 10 ~ Genis 11 ~ - Enemies: Thief, Archer, Mandragora, Axe Beak, Bear, Hawk, Witch ~ Clumsy Assassin/Guardian-Wind (B), Sword Dancer #1 (OB) ~ o--Weapons/Armor/Items:-------------------------------------------------------o | Battle Staff.....(WP) - 1 .....Apple Gel | | Orange Gel..... 1 - (AB).....Fine Guard | | Black Silver..... 1 - 1 ..... EX Gem Lv1 | o~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~o As you enter, walk a few steps and a scene starts. Choose whichever answer you like. Ossa Trail is so straight forward, so it won't be easy to get lost. Follow the path while picking 'Battle Staff' from the chest. When you're able to see the sky, meaning you're at the top, move S at the fork and pick 'Apple Gel' and 'Melange Gel' from the chests. Save your game and keep going down the hill. Near the bottom, grab 'Orange Gel' and prepare for a Boss Battle! ----------------------------------- BOSS: CLUMSY ASSASSIN/GUARDIAN-WIND ----------------------------------- a) Clumsy Assassin - Location: Ossa Trail - HP: 1,800 - TP: 131 - ATK: 247 - DEF: 48 - XP: 200 - Gald: 128 - Items dropped: Holy Bottle - Steal: None - Elemental Info.: - AA: None - Weak: None - Strong: None b) Guardian-Wind - Location: Ossa Trail - HP: 2,000 - TP: 400 - ATK: 280 - DEF: 38 - XP: 250 - Gald: 250 - Items dropped: Magic Lens - Steal: None - Elemental Info.: - AA: None - Weak: None - Strong: None - Strategy: Start by focusing your attacks on Guardian-Wind, since he's stronger and represents more dmg. to your party. Sword Rain doesn't work well on this enemy, since he's floating. Better make a 3-combo and finish with either Tiger Blade or Tempest (I should say Tempest works better). You can use the Strat battle sub-menu to have 1 character aid you raid Guardian-Wind with attacks while the other 2 focus on keep busy Clumsy Assassin. After he's down, focus all your attacks on Clumsy, which shouldn't represent much trouble. Keep having Raine and Kratos heal you if possible and/or needed. ----------------------------------- As you leave, a skit takes place automatically and afterwards, you are finally able to use U. Attacks which stands for Unison Attacks. There's an Optional Boss in this place. I recommend Lv 15 at least. Go to the N of Ossa Trail at the World Map, pass the wooden bridge and start leveling there. These enemies give quite amount of XP and Gald. There are 2 ways to go from here. The hard way and the easy way. The easy way is going to Izoold and then to Palmacosta. The hard way is going to Hima and then to Luin and so on. Go in the cave from where the Clumsy Assassin came out and it looks something like this. _________ | 3 | | 4 | | 5 | |___ ___| | | _ | | _ |1|_| | | | | _ | | | | |_| |_| | 1: Fine Guard | _ _ | 2: Black Silver |_| | | | | 3: EX Gem Lv1 | | |2| 4: Beast Fang | | ¯ 5: Sword Dancer #1 | | Head NE, at the fork head NW, then NE once more and get 'Fine Guard'[1] from the chest. Now move SE, then SW, SE at the fork and SW at the next fork to obtain 'Black Silver'[2] from the chest. Now go NE, NW at the fork, NE at the next fork and into the next room. You'll see a Black Skull. That's Sword Dancer #1 Optional Boss (yes, it's the huge skeleton that appears at the beginning of the opening animated video). On the back of the room, get 'EX Gem Lv1' and a bit S get 'Beast Fang' from the hidden chest. If you're prepared, fight it. ------------------------------ OPTIONAL BOSS: SWORD DANCER #1 ------------------------------ - Name: Sword Dancer #1 - Location: Ossa Trail - HP: 8,888 - TP: 38 - ATK: 600 - DEF: 75 - XP: 150 - Gald: 2000 - Items dropped: ??? - Steal: ??? - Elemental Info.: - AA: None - Weak: Light - Strong: None - Strategy: OK, first of all, you can't escape. My party was: Lloyd 16, Raine 15, Colette 15, and Kratos 15 and I barely won. This sucker is hard! He can kill you in 1 blow. Have Kratos and Raine healing the whole time, while Colette is using Angel Feathers. You are the only main attacker (if we can call it that). Colette is going to be support with her Angel Feathers and giving you Orange Gels and Life Bottles. The main idea here is to do the basic 3-combo + Sword Rain + Fierce Demon Fang or Double Demon Fang at the end, but if you see that he's blocking your normal attacks, forget about the techs and guard, since you'll be doing 2 dmg. for each hit of the Sword Rain. Right after that, guard so you can minimize the dmg. You'll receive around 350 dmg. if you block. If for some reason you die, immediately have Colette use a Life Bottle on you. Keep having Colette using Orange Gels and Life Bottles all the battle. Also remember, if you can nail the attack above mentioned (3 attacks and 2 techs), it's finally time to use the U. Attack. It's very important to have Colette use her Angel Feathers during the attack, because its power is way beyond yours. After around 5 min of sweating, you'll defeat the first of the Sword Dancers. ------------------------------ Afterwards, you'll receive Yata Mirror. Return to the World Map and go to Izoold. **NOTE: There are two ways you can go from here. The easy way is going to Izoold, like it’s supposed to be, and which I’ll be writing for first. The second way, and harder, is going N to the other continent. It’s your choose. If you decide to go the easy way, keep reading. If you chose the hard way (I really recommend going this way only after you have beaten the game at least once, so you have more experience with the game), open up the search sub-menu and copy the following <+ - +> (without the "blank spaces").** *-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=* *=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=* +---| V.i.i.i Easy Way |---------------------------------|--> <-+-> <--|----+ '-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=' '=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=' ________ __________________ / ___ _ \ / sx513 / \ \ / // / ___________________/_________________/ \// / \/ / Area #13 \ / /ales of Symphonia--------------< The Small Fishing Port, Izoold > ~~~/_/~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\_____________________________________/ ~ - My lv.: Lloyd 16, Raine 15, Colette 15, Kratos 15 ~ Genis 16 ~ - Enemies: None ~ o--Weapons/Armor/Items:-------------------------------------------------------o | None | o~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~o o-------------o |> Deep Blue <| | o-----o |Apple Gel......100G| |Orange Gel.....200G| |Panacea Bottle.150G| |Life Bottle....300G| |Cod............110G| |Squid..........110G| |Octopus.........70G| |Barley Rice.....60G| |Seaweed.........20G| o-------------------o Once here, rest at the Inn, then go to the E side of town and to the far E is >Deep Blue<.

Go now to the docks and talk to Max, the guy to the S end of the docks. Speak with the man a bit NW of Max. Return to speak with Max. Speak with a little kid near the entrance of the docks area. He'll say that Max loves Lyla. Now go to her house and speak with her. Return outside and speak with the man in front of Lyla's house. Return once more to Lylas' and a scene triggers. Go to where Max is and another scene triggers. Talk to him when ready. It's time to sail to a whole new continent. **NOTE: Before speaking to Lyla, speak to the fisherman walking in the first area** ________ __________________ / ___ _ \ / sx514 / \ \ / // / ___________________/_________________/ \// / \/ / Area #14 \ / /ales of Symphonia--------------< The Port City, Palmacosta > ~~~/_/~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\_____________________________________/ ~ - My lv.: Lloyd 16, Raine 15, Colette 15, Kratos 15 ~ Genis 16 ~ - Enemies: None ~ o--Weapons/Armor/Items:-------------------------------------------------------o | None | o~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~o o--------------o o----------o o-------------o |> Seven Seas <| |> Anchors | |> High Tide <| | o--o | Aweigh <| | o----o |Pork.........120G| | o--------o |Chain Mail....960G| |Beef.........140G| |Panacea Bottle.150G| |Fine Guard....900G| |Chicken......120G| |Life Bottle....300G| |White Cloak...800G| |Snapper......120G| |Holy Bottle....200G| |Feather Robe..920G| |Tuna.........100G| |Dark Bottle....200G| |Leather Helm..500G| |Cod..........110G| |Magic Lens......10G| |Circlet.......160G| |Squid........110G| o-------------------o |Bracelet......400G| |Shrimp........60G| |Leather Boots.600G| |Octopus.......70G| o-----------o o------------------o |Onion.........60G| |> Tsunami <| |Rice..........80G| | o-------o |Barley Rice...60G| |Rapier.......1,300G| |Pasta.........80G| |Duel Ring....1,140G| |Panyan........70G| |Duel Star....1,180G| |Bread.........70G| |Battle Staff.1,150G| |Roll..........70G| |Steel Sword..1,380G| |White Satay..200G| o-------------------oo---------------o |Red Satay....200G| |> Ultramarine <| |Egg...........50G| o--------------o o--------------o |Cheese........60G| |Masamune.............1 Rapier, 1 White Silver| |Milk..........50G| |Slicer Ring.....1 Flying Disk, 1 Black Silver| o-----------------o |Gem Rod..........1 Battle Staff, 1 Beast Hide| |Steel Sword........1 Long Sword, 1 Beast Fang| |Mage Cloak............1 Cloak, 1 White Silver| o----------o====================o-------------o o------------o |Item Name Grade| |> Marble's <| |--------------------| | o-------o |Beast Fang.........5| |Palma Potion...1000G| |Magical Cloth.....10| |Apple Gel.......100G| |Black Silver......10| |Orange Gel......200G| |White Silver......10| |Panacea Bottle..150G| |Grab Bag..........30| |Life Bottle.....300G| o--------------------o |Holy Bottle.....200G| |Magic Lens.......10G| Skipper's Haven INN: 200G |Guard Bottle...1000G| |Poison Charm...4000G| o--------------------o First of all, go around the wooden dock. Talk to the dog and proceed to the stores. At >Tsunami< buy: Rapier, Duel Star. At >High Tide< buy: Chain Mail x2, Feather Robe, Leather Helm, Bracelet x2, and the Leather Boots are optional. If you don't have enough Gald, wait until you can go to the World Map to fight and have some cash. Or you can go with the Customization guy and exchange 5 Grade for a Beast Fang, and then sell each for 1,000 Gald. That's pretty neat, isn't it? Now, go to the Customization shop and customize: Masamune, a Slicer Ring (if you have the Flying Disk), Gem Rod, Steel Sword and a Mage Cloak. You should be able to customize all the items mentioned above. Now, that was a lot of shopping, wasn't it? Well, exit the shopping area to the S. Walk a few steps S and a scene triggers automatically. After it go E over the bridge and go in the store before the stairs. A scene happens here. Afterwards, exit and go to the part of town. There's a scene as you enter. Then, talk to the dog walking around. Enter the SE building and a scene triggers automatically. Then check the Ball Basket to have Wonder Chef appear and teach you "Omelet." Now go up the stairs and go in the first door to the E. You are asked 3 questions, and the answers are: - Guardian - Acceleration due to gravity - I don't know Afterwards, return to the hall and go in the room to your E. A hilarious scene happens here. After that, Genis receives the title "Honor Roll." Return to the first floor and go in the second door to the E. Talk to the woman behind the counter to start a minigames. After it, Colette obtains the title "Turbo Waitress." If you did well, you'll receive a Palma Potion, if not, you'll just have to buy it at Marble's. Outside the school, go in the Church just N of you. Talk to Chocolat in here. Go now and give those guys their Palma Potion, return to the E part of town and go in the NW building. A scene happens in here and after it, return to the Church and talk with the Priest. After that, you know you're next destination, Hakonesia Peak. To reach Hakonesia Peak, start heading NE following the yellow road. Pass a bridge on your way and keep ignoring forks. After the bridge, you'll reach a House of Salvation. Enter it and talk to the doggy with Colette. If you enter the building, you'll find Clumsy Assassin praying at the altar. You'll finally know her name, it's Sheena, Sheena Fujibayashi (007 style). After the scene, rest if you want and continue your journey to Hakonesia Peak. Again at the world map, keep heading N and at the end of the yellow road is Hakonesia Peak. ________ __________________ / ___ _ \ / sx515 / \ \ / // / ___________________/_________________/ \// / \/ / Area #15 \ / /ales of Symphonia--------------< Hakonesia Peak > ~~~/_/~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\_____________________________________/ ~ - My lv.: Lloyd 17, Raine 16, Colette 16, Kratos 16 ~ Genis 17 ~ - Enemies: None ~ o--Weapons/Armor/Items:-------------------------------------------------------o | None | o~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~o As you enter, run up the hill and go in the house.

After that, there's a fight with his underlings, nothing to worry about. The scene continues afterwards, having Chocolat thanking you for what you have done. Go near the exit and speak to the woman standing near it. Answer with "Well, part of the way...". You'll be now at the House of Salvation. Walk a few steps N and a scene triggers, showing that Chocolat was kidnapped by the Desians. Answer with the top option, of course. Now go into the house and talk with the priests. They tell you that the Spiritua Statue that they have is a fake and the original one was lost somewhere near Thoda Island. Choose the top answer again. Rest for the night and leave House of Salvation and towards Palmacosta Human Ranch. From where you are, move SE, following the yellow road and when it ends, keep running a few steps and turn N when possible. There it is, the Palmacosta Ranch. ________ __________________ / ___ _ \ / sx517 / \ \ / // / ___________________/_________________/ \// / \/ / Area #17 \ / /ales of Symphonia--------------< Palmacosta Ranch > ~~~/_/~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\_____________________________________/ ~ - My lv.: Lloyd 18, Raine 17, Genis 18, Kratos 17 ~ Colette 17 ~ - Enemies: Evil Sorcerer, Bowman, Whip Master, Raybit, ~ Magnius/Bowman/Whip Master (B) ~ o--Weapons/Armor/Items:-------------------------------------------------------o | White Silver..... 1 - (AA).....Omega Shield | | Purple Card.....(KI) - 4 .....Orange Gel | | Life Bottle..... 2 - 2 .....Apple Gel | | EX Gem Lv2..... 1 - (AB).....Mage Cloak | | Red Card.....(KI) - (KI).....Blue Card | | Melange Gel..... 1 - | o~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~o o-------------------o |> Vending Machine <| | | |Apple Gel......100G| |Orange Gel.....200G| |Panacea Bottle.150G| |Life Bottle....300G| |Magic Lens......10G| o-------------------o As you enter head up and go up any path and a scene takes place. Damn that Dorr, betraying the Chosen!!! When the answers prompt, choose the top option and watch the rest of the scene. Now from where you are, go up the NE path, fight all the enemies in this area, open the gate and keep fighting. Once inside the facility, change the function of the Sorcerer's Ring to a Radar. Now go in the W door and fight the enemy here for the Memory Gem of this dungeon. Use the Sorcerer's Ring near this enemy to find 'Apple Gel' from the sparkle. Go down the SW path and NW at the fork. There's 'Orange Gel' on the W side. A bit N of it, there's 'Life Bottle' on the E side of the wall. Return to the fork and now go SE. At the end of it, find yet another 'Orange Gel' from the sparkle. Return to the main hall and go in the E door. Kill the enemy to the N of you and use the Sorcerer's Ring. You'll see several tiny lights. Check the one N of you and get 'White Silver'. The sparkle SE of the first one has 'Omega Shield'. Check the blue pedestal "thingy" to make a bridge appear. A scene triggers as you cross, that Refresher thing is cool, it also sells items. Dispose of the enemy near the Refresher to receive 'Purple Card'. Now check the NE corner of this side of the room for 'Orange Gel'. Also check the blue pedestal to make another bridge appear and get 'Life Bottle' from the sparkle. Return and turn both bridges off. Once again at the main hall, use your Sorcerer's Ring and use the Warp Portal. Here, head N, save your game and go in the E door. In here, use the Sorcerer's Ring and you'll see several semitransparent blocks. Move the second one 2 times S, 2 times E, 3 times S. Push the block on the right of the one you were moving S and get 'EX Gem Lv2' from the sparkle. Now push the one you were pushing 3 times E and 3 times S. Move the block directly N (on the N wall) until you can get 'Mage Cloak' from the sparkle, but you should already have one, right? Now check the blue pedestal to make a bridge. Cross it and go down the stairs. A scene triggers and you'll receive 'Red Card' automatically. Return, turn off the bridge and return to the save point. Now go in the W door from the save point. A scene takes place as soon as you enter. Afterwards, the little boy handles 'Blue Card'. Return to the save point and use the portal at the N of it. This place is a bit complicated, so keep track of the following. Please first read about that room and then the portal you have to take, and it's number is below. To get a 'Panacea Bottle', just: - (Taking the room after taking the portal just N of the save point as reference) --------- Before taking this first portal, there are 2 walking enemies and at the W side, take the Melange Gel from the sparkle. 1st portal: West --------- In this room, there are 2 walking enemies and there's an alarm behind the sparkle on the W side. 2nd portal: North --------- Here, there's 'Apple Gel' to your left right where you start and only that. 3rd portal: North After getting it, return to the previous room and take the portal at the center and choose "Return to the connecting passage." Now lets go and kick Magnius' ass! - (Taking the room after taking the portal just N of the save point as reference) --------- There are 2 walking enemies here, and a Melange Gel at the W side if you didn't take it from before. 1st portal: West --------- There are 2 walking enemies and an alarm on the W side. 2nd portal: West --------- There are 2 walking enemies and an alarm at the N side of the room. 3rd portal: South --------- Here, there's nothing but 'Life Bottle' in the sparkle right next to you. 4th portal: North --------- Here, there are 2 walking enemies and an alarm at the N side. 5th portal: North --------- There's 1 walking enemy and 'Orange Gel' in the sparkle at the W side of the room. 6th portal: West --------- There's 1 walking enemy and an alarm at the N side. 7th portal: North --------- There's 1 walking enemy and an alarm at the W side. 8th portal: West After all this hard and confusing work, a scene triggers, then a battle with Desians, and another scene. Now, before going N to her, go E and unlock the memory seal. Heal up and now go to Chocolat. Enter the portal, watch a scene, another meaningless battle and then, prepare for a Boss Battle! -------------------------------- BOSS: MAGNIUS/BOWMAN/WHIP MASTER -------------------------------- a) Magnius - Location: Palmacosta Human Ranch - HP: 8,500 - TP: 120 - ATK: 450 - DEF: 65 - XP: 675 - Gald: 1700 - Items dropped: Warrior Symbol, EX Gem Lv1 - Steal: None - Elemental Info.: - AA: None - Weak: None - Strong: Fire b) Bowman - Location: Palmacosta Human Ranch - HP: 480 - TP: 10 - ATK: 130 - DEF: 20 - XP: 50 - Gald: 40 - Items dropped: Orange Gel - Steal: Orange Gel - Elemental Info.: - AA: None - Weak: None - Strong: None c) Whip Master - Location: Palmacosta Human Ranch - HP: 570 - TP: 10 - ATK: 120 - DEF: 10 - XP: 14 - Gald:10 - Items dropped: Apple Gel - Steal: Apple Gel - Elemental Info.: - AA: None - Weak: None - Strong: None - Strategy: First of all, and almost what you do in every Boss Battle, take out first the Bowman and the Whip Master. They don't deal that much amount of dmg., but, they're just so annoying. After taking care of them, focus on Magnius. He's not that challenging on his own. Just keep the attack: 3-combo + a Lv1 Tech (Sword Rain should do a pretty good job) + a Lv2 Tech (Double Demon Fang works wonders). And guard when necessary, while using Gels as you need and use as many as you need. One of his attacks, and maybe the worse, is Flame Lance, a Fire-based magic with a large attack range. After a few minutes, he'll go down. -------------------------------- Watch the scene as you finish the battle. There are 2 new names mentioned in the scene: Yggdrasill and Rodyle. When you regain control, leave the ranch and head to Palmacosta. ________ __________________ / ___ _ \ / sx518 / \ \ / // / ___________________/_________________/ \// / \/ / Area #18 \ / /ales of Symphonia--------------< Palmacosta > ~~~/_/~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\_____________________________________/ ~ - My lv.: Lloyd 19, Colette 19, Raine 19, Kratos 19 ~ Genis 19 ~ - Enemies: Kilia (B) ~ o--Weapons/Armor/Items:-------------------------------------------------------o | Pass.....(KI) - | o~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~o o--------------o o----------o o-------------o |> Seven Seas <| |> Anchors | |> High Tide <| | o--o | Aweigh <| | o----o |Pork.........120G| | o--------o |Chain Mail....960G| |Beef.........140G| |Panacea Bottle.150G| |Fine Guard....900G| |Chicken......120G| |Life Bottle....300G| |White Cloak...800G| |Snapper......120G| |Holy Bottle....200G| |Feather Robe..920G| |Tuna.........100G| |Dark Bottle....200G| |Leather Helm..500G| |Cod..........110G| |Magic Lens......10G| |Circlet.......160G| |Squid........110G| o-------------------o |Bracelet......400G| |Shrimp........60G| |Leather Boots.600G| |Octopus.......70G| o-----------o o------------------o |Onion.........60G| |> Tsunami <| |Rice..........80G| | o-------o |Barley Rice...60G| |Rapier.......1,300G| |Pasta.........80G| |Duel Ring....1,140G| |Panyan........70G| |Duel Star....1,180G| |Bread.........70G| |Battle Staff.1,150G| |Roll..........70G| |Steel Sword..1,380G| |White Satay..200G| o-------------------oo---------------o |Red Satay....200G| |> Ultramarine <| |Egg...........50G| o--------------o o--------------o |Cheese........60G| |Masamune.............1 Rapier, 1 White Silver| |Milk..........50G| |Slicer Ring.....1 Flying Disk, 1 Black Silver| o-----------------o |Gem Rod..........1 Battle Staff, 1 Beast Hide| |Steel Sword........1 Long Sword, 1 Beast Fang| |Mage Cloak............1 Cloak, 1 White Silver| o----------o====================o-------------o o------------o |Item Name Grade| |> Marble's <| |--------------------| | o-------o |Beast Fang.........5| |Palma Potion...1000G| |Magical Cloth.....10| |Apple Gel.......100G| |Black Silver......10| |Orange Gel......200G| |White Silver......10| |Panacea Bottle..150G| |Grab Bag..........30| |Life Bottle.....300G| o--------------------o |Holy Bottle.....200G| |Magic Lens.......10G| Skipper's Haven INN: 200G |Guard Bottle...1000G| |Poison Charm...4000G| o--------------------o As you enter, head straight for the Inn. Rest up and then save your game. Restock items at Marble's, but when you enter, a scene triggers. Afterwards, head for Dorr’s HQ, a scene happens here and then go down to the basement. There's a scene here and then a Boss Battle! ----------- BOSS: KILIA ----------- - Name: Kilia - Location: Palmacosta - HP: 10,000 - TP: 400 - ATK: 490 - DEF: 65 - XP: 500 - Gald: 500 - Items dropped: Heal Bracelet - Steal: None - Elemental Info.: - AA: None - Weak: Light - Strong: Darkness - Strategy: You might be thinking that she's harder than Magnius because of her 10,000 HP, but don't worry! Raine's Photon deals over 600 dmg., so does Colette's Angel Feathers, around 650-700 dmg. Put these 2 in the C-stick shortcuts. Her attacks aren't that nasty either. Just keep attacking, ordering Colette to use Angel Feathers and Raine to use her Photon. Kratos should be attacking or healing when necessary. After very few minutes, she'll go down. ----------- Damn, that Kilia monster is a bitch. A very sad scene happens here. He then hands over 'Pass'. Now we can finally go for the second Seal. Before leaving, buy a Battle Staff from >Tsunami<. Now, talk to the person near the exit and tell her part of the way. You'll now be at the House of Salvation. Exit and go to where the human ranch was and instead of entering, go SE and enter Thoda Dock. ________ __________________ / ___ _ \ / sx519 / \ \ / // / ___________________/_________________/ \// / \/ / Area #19 \ / /ales of Symphonia--------------< Thoda Dock > ~~~/_/~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\_____________________________________/ ~ - My lv.: Lloyd 20, Colette 19, Raine 19, Kratos 19 ~ Genis 19 ~ - Enemies: None ~ - Weapons/Armor/Items:-------------------------------------------------------o | None | o~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~o Start by resting at the Inn on the second floor. Outside, there's another dog, speak to it with Colette as your Avatar. Go inside once again and speak with Candy, the woman behind the counter.

Talk to the guy with a backpack and a green hat to buy supplies. Now go NW of where you are and talk to the dog. "This one feels like a Bob. His tail is so cute." Now go to the NE corner and approach the pedestal shown to you in the scene. Another scene happens, showing you the Spiritua Statue. You only have to follow Genis' directions without failing more than 2 times. Now check the pedestal with the blue thing on top to have another scene trigger. Once inside, move N, dispose of the enemies here, go down the stairs and get 'Mermaid's Tear'. Keep going down the stairs and at the bottom, get 'Life Bottle' and 'Circlet' from the chests at the E side of the room. Go down the SW exit, ignoring the Sorcerer's ring pedestal function for now. Get 'EX Gem Lv1' from a hidden chest behind the upper stone pillar on your E side. Now go through the stone pillars on your E and get 'White Silver' and 'Orange Gel' from the chests. Return to the previous room and go to the N part of the room and use the Sorcerer's Ring on the torches, each next to a stone tablet with a flame carved into it. Once you set them ablaze, it's time to change the function of the Sorcerer's Ring. Change the function of the Sorcerer's Ring and exit through the SE exit. Go down the stairs and get 'Stun Bracelet' and 'Circlet' from the chests. The shark-type enemy floating near the chests has the Memory Gem for this dungeon. Keep going until you're in the next room. Push the huge block right in front of you under the door and you hear a "click." Return to the room where you set the torches ablaze and you'll notice a scale in front of the large blue urn. Use the Sorcerer's Ring on the E side of the scale and a door will try to close on the lower level, but that's why we put the block there. Just a bit E and then S is the Memory Seal (it's almost invisible). A very good idea at this point, is to equip an EX Gem Lv2 on Raine and put the "Personal" option. This way, in every Memory Circle you encounter, all her non-battle magic (Such as First Aid and Recover) will only use 1 TP. That's cool, isn't it? Go to the room where you pushed the block and at the end of the corridor, there's another scale in front of a large blue urn. Pour water in the E side of the scale and have the platform on the W side of the room go up. Return to the room above (where you lit the torches), heal up, save your game and use the warp portal on the platform you just raised. Here, watch the scene and prepare to fight Adulocia and Amphitra x2. -------------------------- BOSS: ADULOCIA/AMPHITRA X2 -------------------------- a) Adulocia - Location: Thoda Geyser - HP: 10,000 - TP: 248 - ATK: 600 - DEF: 55 - XP: 825 - Gald: 765 - Items dropped: Mermaid's Tear - Steal: None - Elemental Info.: - AA: None - Weak: Lightning - Strong: Water, Ice b) Amphitra x2 - Location: Thoda Geyser - HP: 2,300 - TP: 120 - ATK: 475 - DEF: 20 - XP: 150 - Gald: 500 - Items dropped: None - Steal: None - Elemental Info.: - AA: Water - Weak: Lightning, Fire - Strong: Water, Ice - Strategy: Start by using Magic Lens on each one of them. The Amphitra are very annoying, because if you start attacking Adulocia and making combos, they'll start messing with you. So take them out as soon as possible, but keep in mind that Adulocia starts messing with you too. Try to ignore her and focus on the Amphitras. Once they're gone, focus on the big mama. Her worst attacks are Spread and Aqua Laser. Kratos and Raine should focus on healing and Colette should focus on using Para Ball. After a while, they'll go down. -------------------------- Watch a scene as you finish the battle. Exit the Geyser completely and you'll be camping again, just like after the first seal. A scene triggers and you'll regain control. Jump on your awesome washtub and exit Thoda Dock. At the World Map, head all the way N and enter Hakonesia Peak. ________ __________________ / ___ _ \ / sx521 / \ \ / // / ___________________/_________________/ \// / \/ / Area #21 \ / /ales of Symphonia--------------< Hakonesia Peak > ~~~/_/~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\_____________________________________/ ~ - My lv.: Lloyd 21, Colette 21, Raine 21, Kratos 21 ~ Genis 21 ~ - Enemies: None ~ o--Weapons/Armor/Items:-------------------------------------------------------o | None | o~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~o Walk up to Koton's house. Speak to him to trigger a scene. You'll read the contents of the Book of Regeneration, and I bet you don't have a clue. Go outside and go pass the guards to the N to finally reach the other side of Hakonesia Peak. At the World Map, head N and you'll see a House of Salvation. Enter it and speak to the dog at the NE corner. Rest if needed and exit to the World Map. Start heading SW and soon, you'll arrive at Asgard. ________ __________________ / ___ _ \ / sx522 / \ \ / // / ___________________/_________________/ \// / \/ / Area #22 \ / /ales of Symphonia--------------< The City of Ruins, Asgard > ~~~/_/~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\_____________________________________/ ~ - My lv.: Lloyd 22, Colette 21, Raine 21, Kratos 21 ~ Genis 21 ~ - Enemies: Windmaster (B) ~ o--Weapons/Armor/Items:-------------------------------------------------------o | Map of Balacruf.....(KI) - | o~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~o o---------o o-----------o o-----------o |> Gale < | |> Cyclone <| |> Typhoon <| | o------o | o----------o | o-------o |Pork........120G| |Ring mail.......1,800G| |Masamune.....1,500G| |Beef........140G| |Fine Guard........900G| |Slicer Ring..1,380G| |Chicken.....120G| |Mage Clock......1,500G| |Duel Star....1,180G| |Juicy Meat..200G| |Feather Robe......920G| |Gem Rod......1,550G| |Beef Strips..80G| |Iron Helm.......1,200G| |Steel Sword..1,380G| |Cabbage......60G| |Iron Gauntlet...1,200G| |Hydra Dagger.2,200G| |Lettuce......80G| |Kitchen Mittens.1,000G| o-------------------o |Mushroom.....60G| |Paralysis Charm.4,000G| |Potato.......50G| o----------------------o |Onion........60G| |Radish.......60G| |Carrot.......60G| o-------------o |Barley Rice..60G| |> Whirlwind <| |Panyan.......70G| | o-----o |Roll.........70G| |Apple Gel......100G| |White Satay.200G| |Orange Gel.....200G| Vortex Inn: 200G |Red Satay...200G| |Panacea Bottle.150G| Fresco Inn: 300G |Black Satay.200G| |Life Bottle....300G| Cool Breeze Inn: 400G |Egg..........50G| |Holy Bottle....200G| |Cheese.......60G| |Dark Bottle....200G| |Kelp.........40G| |Magic Lens......10G| o----------------o |Stone Charm...4000G| o-------------------o o-------------o |> Hurricane <| o------------------o o------------------o |Osafune.....................1 Mumei, 1 Black Silver| |Sinclaire..............1 Masamune, 1 Black Silver &| | :............1 White Silver | |Mystic Ring............1 Slicer Ring & 1 Beast Fang| |Falling Star.............1 Duel Star & 1 Beast Hide| |Earth Rod...........1 Battle Staff & 1 White Silver| |Earth Dagger.......1 Hydra Dagger, 1 White Silver &| | :.....1 Mermaid's Tear | |Silver Sword..........1 Steel Sword, 1 Beast Fang &| | :........1 Black Silver | |Iron Guard.........1 Leather Guard & 1 Black Silver| |Mage Cloak.................1 Cloak & 1 White Silver| |White Robe.........1 Feather Robe & 1 Magical Cloth| |Yayoi..............1 Feather Robe & 1 Magical Cloth| |Gold Circlet............1 Circlet & 1 Magical Cloth| |Iron Gauntlet......1 Leather Glove & 1 Black Silver| o--------------o=====================o--------------o |Item Name Grade| |---------------------| |Beast Fang..........5| |Magical Cloth......10| |Black Silver.......10| |White Silver.......10| |Grab Bag...........30| o---------------------o As you enter, go up the stairs on your W and at the fork, head N and into the building. Inside buy at >Typhoon<: Slicer Ring and Hydra Dagger. Don't equip them. At >Hurricane<, customize one of each, except for Mage Cloak (which you should already have), Yayoi, and Iron Gauntlet. You should have all the necessary weapons. If you need Trade Items, exchange them for Grade with the old man. Equip every thing and at >Cyclone<, buy: 2 Ring Mails, 2 Iron Helms, 1 Iron Gauntlet and 2 Kitchen Mittens. If you still have some money, return near the entrance and enter the first door of the W and rest at >Vortex Inn<; the cheapest Inn in town. Also restock your item supply and food supply, mainly to cook Rice Ball, since it heals both Hp and TP. From >Vortex Inn<, move NE and go up the first set of steps on your W. The shop here is >Whirlwind<. Restock here and speak to the dog to the N with Colette as your avatar. Now go all the way E and enter the next part of town. Talk to the dog wandering near the S part of this side of the city. Go up the first set of stairs and go in the dark brick house. This is Aisha's house. On the second floor, check the phonograph besides the bed to have Wonder Chef appear and teach you "Meat Stew." Return to the main are of Asgard and go up to the N area of the town. Go up the huge stairs and at the top, a scene triggers. When you can move, go around the ruin to trigger another scene. Damn, Raine kicks ass! Now head to Aisha's house to see another scene. Go to >Vortex Inn< and rest if you haven't. Save your game and go to back to the ruins. After the scene, there's a Boss Battle! ---------------- BOSS: WINDMASTER ---------------- - Name: Windmaster - Location: Asgard - HP: 10,000 - TP: 220 - ATK: 580 - DEF: 85 - XP: 1325 - Gald: 800 - Items dropped: Map of Balacruf, Talisman - Steal: - Elemental Info.: - AA: None - Weak: None - Strong: Wind - Strategy: This battle is easy if you know how to battle it. An easy way to do this is as follows: 3-combo attack + Tiger Blade + Sword Rain: Alpha. Right before you unleash Sword Rain: Alpha's uppercut, unleash an Unison Attack as follows: First Kratos using Fierce Demon Fang, then Raine with Photon, afterwards Lloyd with Sword Rain: Alpha and last but not least, Colette with Angel Feathers. With all this done as I wrote, you'll be dealing him around 5000 dmg. and Combo over 55 hits. After this, keep attacking, healing when necessary, blocking when necessary and doing the 3-combo + Lv1 Tech + Lv2 Tech, dealing near 800 dmg. each time. As you can see, he's not that hard, if you're at the levels I recommended before entering Asgard. ---------------- After the battle, there's a scene and when you regain control, head over to Aisha's house for another scene. You'll then receive 'Map of Balacruf'. After that, finally exit Asgard. Your next destination is Balacruf Mausoleum. To reach it, head SE from the House of Salvation and at the end of the land, there's Balacruf Mausoleum. ________ __________________ / ___ _ \ / sx523 / \ \ / // / ___________________/_________________/ \// / \/ / Area #23 \ / /ales of Symphonia--------------< Balacruf Mausoleum, the third seal > ~~~/_/~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\_____________________________________/ ~ - My lv.: Lloyd 22, Colette 22, Raine 22, Kratos 22 ~ Genis 22 ~ - Enemies: Arachnid, Melting Pot, Skeleton, Harpy, Gargoyle, Iapyx (B) ~ Resolute Assassin/Guardian-Lightning (B) ~ o--Weapons/Armor/Items:-------------------------------------------------------o | 1800 Gald..... x - 1 .....Beast Fang | | Iron Guard.....(AB) - (AH).....Blue Ribbon | | Beast Hide..... 1 - (AH).....Blue Ribbon | | EX Gem Lv2..... 1 - | o~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~o As you enter, there's a scene. Afterwards, take the W path and at the end, there'll be a person and behind, '1800 Gald' in the chest. Now go up the central path and another scene triggers. When you have control, move W, watch your step, because there are a lot of traps in this dungeon. When you see a switch on the floor, go up the stairs N and kill the enemy hiding among them, because it's the holder of the Memory Gem. Once on top, move W and push the block S 2 times. Return down and push the block on top the switch and stop the wind. Return to the fork to the entrance and go E. Unlock the Memory Seal and get 'Beast Fang' from the coffin S of the Save Circle. Now lit the torch on the E side of the room. The SE stone plate says: "The Summon Spirit and the wind that serves it are to be found beyond the carving of the holy seal." Now return to where you dropped the block and read 2 other stone plates. The W stone plate 1 says: "The Balacruf are people of the wind. They are born with the wind, live with the Summon Spirit, and become as wind when they die." The W stone plate 2 says: "The world is a giant. Its ruby left hand is the throne of gods. Its emerald right hand is the power of gods. Its pearl white left leg is the calm earth. Its topaz right leg is the rich earth. And its lapis lazuli body is the blue wind princess." Now move E, go down the stairs and you'll be at the beginning fork. So now, go up the NW path, past the traps and go up the stairs. At the corner, read: The NW stone plate says: "That which the blue wind princess protects. Heads from the throne of gods and across the rich earth. Stands upon the calm earth, and gazes up at the power of gods." Now keep going and lit both torches at the N wall, before going down the stairs to reveal a door. Keep going E and read the tablet. The N stone plate says: "The great King of Balacruf, Cleo III, died and was reborn as the King of the Wind. The King travels the heavens with the Summon Spirit, in past, present and future." Now move S and push the block E, and then S 1 time to stop the wind. Now go N from the switch and get 'Iron Guard' and 'Blue Ribbon' from the coffins. Now go all the way S, lit the torch, get 'Beast Hide' from the coffin and then read the E tablet. The E stone plate says: "That which is offered to the throne to the gods. From the power of gods, makes the rich earth as the calm earth. And arrives at the blue wind princess. This be as if traveling the giant's body in the manner of a clock's hand." Return to the end of the NW path from the fork of the entrance and read the central tablet. The Central stone plate says: "The holy seal that extols the king flows from the throne of the gods to the rich earth. Travels from the power of gods to the calm earth. And when the blue wind princess is born in the center of the world. The holy seal shall also be complete." Now go N and check the pedestal to change the Sorcerer's Ring function. Now go in the door on top of the pedestal (the one you opened from lighting the 2 torches) to have a scene trigger. In this room, dispose first of the enemies and input the following as it goes: 1. Blue 2. Red 3. Yellow 4. White 5. Green A hole opens on the W side of the room, and has 'Blue Ribbon' inside a coffin. Now deactivate these thingies and input the following: 1. Red 2. Green 3. Yellow 4. White 5. Blue A hole opens now on the E side of the room and get 'EX Gem Lv2' from the coffin. Deactivate those thingies one more time and input: 1. Red 2. Yellow 3. Green 4. White 5. Blue This will open the main door. I recommend saving the game, because there's two Boss Battle up ahead! ----------- BOSS: IAPYX ----------- - Name: Iapyx - Location: Balacruf Mausoleum - HP: 14,000 - TP: 88 - ATK: 690 - DEF: 100 - XP: 1324 - Gald: 2000 - Items dropped: Paralysis Charm, Spirit Bangle - Steal: None - Elemental Info.: - AA: None - Weak: None - Strong: Wind, Lightning - Strategy: As always, use a Magic Lens. If you have Omega Tempest at this point, it works wonders on it. Also, use the Unison Attack as much as possible. This enemy is not that different from Windmaster at Asgard. Try not using too many items, because after this battle, is another one. Try using Kratos mainly at healing, this way, you may save a hell lot of items. ----------- After the battle, watch the scene and when you have control, return to the entrance, but wait, Sheena stops you and there's another Boss Battle! ------------------------------------------ BOSS: RESOLUTE ASSASSIN/GUARDIAN-LIGHTNING ------------------------------------------ a) Resolute Assassin - Location: Balacruf Mausoleum - HP: 4,500 - TP: 164 - ATK: 500 - DEF: 62 - XP: 300 - Gald: 450 - Items dropped: Dark Bottle - Steal: None - Elemental Info.: - AA: None - Weak: None - Strong: None b) Guardian-Lightning - Location: Balacruf Mausoleum - HP: 5,500 - TP: 400 - ATK: 471 - DEF: 46 - XP: 250 - Gald: 250 - Items dropped: Fine Pellets, Magic Lens - Steal: None - Elemental Info.: - AA: None - Weak: None - Strong: None - Strategy: It's just like your previous battle at Ossa Trail. Take out the Guardian-Lightning first, since has more HP and is more annoying. Just follow the previous battle and you'll do just fine! ------------------------------------------ Watch another scene after the battle, exit Balacruf Mausoleum for another scene and camping again, but looks like this time, Colette's in worse state. After camping, time to head N to Luin. From Balacruf Mausoleum, head to the House of Salvation near Asgard and from there, follow the yellow path N and you'll reach Luin (it's a city in middle of a lake). ________ __________________ / ___ _ \ / sx524 / \ \ / // / ___________________/_________________/ \// / \/ / Area #24 \ / /ales of Symphonia--------------< The City of Devastation, Luin > ~~~/_/~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\_____________________________________/ ~ - My lv: Lloyd 25, Colette 24, Raine 24, Kratos 24 ~ Genis 24 ~ - Enemies: None ~ o--Weapons/Armor/Items:-------------------------------------------------------o | None | o~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~o As you enter, you'll see the city destroyed.

In here, talk to those bastards if you want and enter the NW door. A scene triggers in here. After the scene, get 'White Robe', go down the stairs follow the path S, take the path W when prompted and get 'Iron Bracelet' from the chest. The Desian walking near the chest has the Memory Gem for the Ranch. Return to the main path and go N to watch another scene. you finally know who Yggdrasill is, the Desian Leader, the big papa! Yessss, Sheena saves the day!!!

There's another meaningless battle and the scene continues. You'll split in 2 teams. The one that's going after Kvar and the deactivation team. I recommend the following: = Infiltration team: - Lloyd - Kratos - Sheena = Deactivation team: - Raine - Colette - Genis After choosing each team's members, save your game at the SW corner of the room. The machine in the middle is the Refresher. When ready, exit through the NW door. In here, pick 'Cleric's Hat' from the N chest. Return, go around and pick 'Lamellar Leather' and 'Pellets' from the chests. Now return, go W and check the machine and shut it down. Return to the main room and exit the SW door. Here, change the function of your Sorcerer's Ring. Now go down the S stairs and then W on to the conveyer belt. Here you have to deactivate all 6 glowing-containers using the Sorcerer's Ring. After you deactivate all 6 of them, the conveyer belt stops. Start moving NW and before exiting the room, get 'EX Gem Lv2' from the chest. In this room, dispose of the 2 enemies and unlock the memory seal. Save your game and check the warp portal to change to the other party. Exit through the SE door and fight the battle on the other room. Now exit through the S door and you'll be outside. Go in between the boxes and start pushing the boxes in this order: "Push the first block E 2 times, then W 2 times. Now the box N of you pull it S 1 time and pull the E block S 1 time, go around it and push it S 1 more time. Now the NE most block pull it 1 time S and 1 time W. Push now the S block of you S" and enter the door. From the fork, go SW and at the other fork, head N, into the door, fight and watch the scene. Now go in the door W of you. Get 'Stun Charm' and examine the blue pad on the floor, this will trigger the door to move E. Return from whence you came and now enter the E door. Get 'Card of Earth' from the chest and once again examine the blue pad on the floor. Return to the previous room and now exit through the S door (the door from when you entered here in the first place). Head S and at the fork, head W and you'll see the door that moved. Fight the Raybits protecting the green pad on the floor. Return to the fork and go E this time. Dispose of the Raybits one more time and the control passes to Lloyd and the others. If you brought Sheena with you, don't forget to equip her the Card of Earth. Save and enter the portal. A scene triggers as soon as you arrive. A new name, Pronyma, appears. Then prepare for a Boss Battle! -------------------------- BOSS: KVAR/ENERGY STONE X3 -------------------------- a) Kvar - Location: Asgard Human Ranch - HP: 10,000 - TP: 340 - ATK: 410 - DEF: 65 - XP: 1680 - Gald: 1500 - Items dropped: Holy Ring, EX Gem Lv 1 - Steal: None - Elemental Info.: - AA: None - Weak: None - Strong: Lightning b) Energy Stone x3 - Location: Asgard Human Ranch - HP: 5,500 - TP: 100 - ATK: 350 - DEF: 20 - XP: 300 - Gald: 765 - Items dropped: None - Steal: None - Elemental Info.: - AA: None - Weak: None - Strong: All - Strategy: Well, first of all, take out the 3 Energy Stones, they have less HP and after they're gone, the battle will be much easier and less tedious. Remember that you only have 3 characters. Ignore Kvar while disposing of the Energy Stones, but don't forget your HP. The only attack he has close-range is a Lightning Strike, not very powerful. Also, once the Energy Stones are gone, start attacking Kvar with everything you have: 3-combo + Lv1 Tech + Lv2 Tech, Unison Attacks. Since he's more magician than warrior, he'll be putting less guard, for you to combo him to your hearts content. -------------------------- After the battle, watch the scene and you'll be automatically at Asgard. Exit Asgard and head for the House of Salvation. From there, move directly N, go up the elevation on the ground and you'll reach Lake Umacy. Enter it! ________ __________________ / ___ _ \ / sx529 / \ \ / // / ___________________/_________________/ \// / \/ / Area #29 \ / /ales of Symphonia--------------< Lake Umacy > ~~~/_/~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\_____________________________________/ ~ - My lv.: Lloyd 27, Sheena 26, Raine 26, Kratos 26 ~ Colette 26, Genis 27 ~ - Enemies: None ~ o--Weapons/Armor/Items:-------------------------------------------------------o | None | o~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~o There's a scene as soon as you enter. There are several things you are told. You need to return to Thoda Geyser to form a pact with Undine, the Summon Spirit of Water, but first, let's go all the way to Hima. You remember how to reach Hima, don't you? If you don't, check the first time you came here. ________ __________________ / ___ _ \ / sx530 / \ \ / // / ___________________/_________________/ \// / \/ / Area #30 \ / /ales of Symphonia--------------< Hima > ~~~/_/~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\_____________________________________/ ~ - My lv.: Lloyd 27, Sheena 26, Raine 26, Kratos 27 ~ Genis 27, Colette 26 ~ - Enemies: None ~ o--Weapons/Armor/Items:-------------------------------------------------------o | Key to the Tower of Mana.....(KI) - | o~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~o o------------------o |> Crimson Canyon <| | o-o o-------------------o |Apple Gel.......100G| |> Crimson Canyon <| |Orange Gel......200G| o--------------o o--------------o |Panacea Bottle..150G| |Nimble Rapier.................1 Rapier, 1 Brass &| |Life Bottle.....300G| | 1 White Silver | |Holy Bottle.....200G| |Stinger Ring......1 Slicer Ring, 1 White Silver &| |Magic Lens.......10G| | 1 Mermaid's Tear | |Osafune.......1,950G| |Ruby Wand............1 Gem Rod & 1 Mermaid's Tear| |Amber Cloak...1,800G| |Armet Helm.............1 Iron Helm & 1 Beast Hide| |Cleric's Hat....900G| |Red Shield........1 Omega Shield & 1 Black Silver| |Tartan Ribbon.1,600G| o-------------------------------------------------o |Pretty Mittens..800G| |Leather Cape....400G| Echoes Inn: 240G o--------------------o When you enter, run a few steps into "town" to have a scene trigger. Afterwards, run towards the Inn to have yet another scene involving Clara, Dorr's wife. She'll be chased by some adventurers. Afterwards, she'll drop 'Key to the Tower of Mana'. Now, speak to the 2 dogs in Hima if you haven't already. Restock items if needed, rest at the Inn and prepare to head to the Tower of Mana, to retrieve Boltzman's healing arts book. Well, from Hima, move N to the yellow path and follow it E and you'll reach a bridge. Right after you cross it, head N and you'll see one of those Long-range Monolith. After approaching it, you'll see a mountain range on your E. On the E side of this mountain range, at the N tip is the Tower of Mana. Save before entering. ________ __________________ / ___ _ \ / sx531 / \ \ / // / ___________________/_________________/ \// / \/ / Area #31 \ / /ales of Symphonia--------------< Tower of Mana > ~~~/_/~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\_____________________________________/ ~ - My lv.: Lloyd 27, Sheena 26, Raine 26, Kratos 27 ~ Genis 27, Colette 26 ~ - Enemies: Specter, Grim Reaper, Living Doll, Living Sword, Iubaris (B) ~ o--Weapons/Armor/Items:-------------------------------------------------------o | Armet Helm.....(AH) - (KI).....Boltzman's Book | | Moon Robe.....(AB) - (AB).....Lunar Guard | | EX Gem Lv2..... 2 - (WP).....Stinger Ring | | Iron Mail.....(AB) - | o~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~o When you enter, there's a scene. Once inside, there's yet another scene. You have to split again, dammit! I hate to do that, well, the party should be: = Going inside: - Lloyd - Colette - A healer (Kratos o Raine) = Staying behind: - Sheena - Genis - Another healer (Kratos o Raine) I could recommend taking Kratos with you, but that's up to you! Ok now, when you have control, start running up the spiral stairs and the second enemy you encounter (An eyeball floating avatar) has the Memory Gem for this dungeon. Keep going up and get 'Armet Helm' from the chest. Then enter the door. In here, burn the N curtain with your Sorcerer's Ring and a beam of light will come out. Push the block W 2 times and N 2 times. Now go through the W door. Here, unlock the memory seal N of you and check the pedestal next to the blue portal. You'll now have control of Raine and the others. Check the W bookshelves to obtain 'Boltzman's Book'. Now go up the N door and burn the W curtain. Then push the block W 2 times and N 2 times, go up the door to the N. In this next room, burn the W curtain, go N and push: - N most mirror: W 3 times and S 5 times. - NE most mirror (with the mirror in this form "/"): 8 times N, 4 times W and 2 times N. - SE most mirror: 1 time N. - SW most mirror (with the mirror in this form "\"): 8 times N, 4 times E, 6 times N and 1 time W. With this done, proceed N and get 'Moon Robe', 'Lunar Guard' and 'EX Gem Lv2' from the chests. Save your game and proceed through the N door. In here, get 'Stinger Ring' and go in the door to the E, the S and go up the spiral stairs fighting your way up (I recommend using Sheena or Kratos as your player) and go in the door. In here, go in the W door, then get 'EX Gem Lv2' and 'Iron Mail' from the chests. Then cross the bridge of light to trigger a scene. You'll have control of Lloyd again. Save the game and start crossing the bridges of light until you reach Raine and the others. Prepare for a Boss Battle and enter the warp portal. There is a scene at the top and then the Boss Battle! ------------- BOSS: IUBARIS ------------- - Name: Iubaris - Location: Tower of Mana - HP: 16,800 - TP: 1500 - ATK: 860 - DEF: 80 - XP: 2650 - Gald: 2500 - Items dropped: Brass - Steal: White Quartz - Elemental Info.: - AA: Light - Weak: Shadow - Strong: Fire, Lightning, Light - Strategy: Is this enemy hard? Hahaha, no. His attacks are devastating. They are shadow-based magic. If you're using Raine, which you should, deactivate all of her techs, except for First Aid, Recover, Nurse, Dispel and Force Field. Why, you ask? Well, the answer is easy, because the rest of the techs consume tons of TP and they are the only ones that she uses. With Lloyd, just use your best techs, Sword Rain: Alpha, Tiger Rage, etc. With Kratos and Raine healing almost every time, you'll barely have the need to use items, well, maybe some Orange Gels. Remember to keep checking your HP, even if Kratos and Raine are healing, or, if needed, restore their TP with some Orange Gels. After 16,800 HP taken from him, he'll go down. ------------- There's a scene afterwards and Luna asking for Aska (Aska is the big, double- headed bird on the back of the game case). Then Remiel appears before you one last time, and teaches Colette the tech "Sacrifice" (what a name!!!). Now return to the entrance manually following Lloyd's path. Before leaving, you should stay for a bit and examine the bookshelves. There's valuable information on each one of them. As you exit, there's a scene and another campfire. What the f***? Sheena is not from this world? When you regain control, exit Tower of Mana and head for Thoda Geyser. ________ __________________ / ___ _ \ / sx532 / \ \ / // / ___________________/_________________/ \// / \/ / Area #32 \ / /ales of Symphonia--------------< Thoda Geyser > ~~~/_/~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\_____________________________________/ ~ - My lv.: Lloyd 28, Genis 28, Raine 28, Kratos 28 ~ Sheena 28, Colette 28 ~ - Enemies: Starfish, Float Dragon, Water Element, Green Roper, Octoslime, ~ Undine (B) ~ o--Weapons/Armor/Items:-------------------------------------------------------o | Aquamarine.....(AC) - | o~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~o When you enter Thoda Docks, talk to the girl inside the house to have a washtub take you to Thoda Geyser. This time will be much more quicker. Head to the bottom of the stairs, take the SW exit, use the Save point here, and prepare for a Boss Battle! When ready, use the warp portal on the W side of the room. ------------ BOSS: UNDINE ------------ - Name: Undine - Location: Thoda Geyser - HP: 13,000 - TP: 320 - ATK: 580 - DEF: 88 - XP: 2110 - Gald: 765 - Items dropped: Guardian Symbol - Steal: None - Elemental Info.: - AA: None - Weak: None - Strong: Water, Ice - Strategy: I recommend a party of Lloyd, Genis, Raine and Sheena. Deactivate all of Genis spells, except for Thunder Blade or Spark Wave (Spark Wave is better, by the way). Raine's job will consist of using Nurse all the battle, if you have it, while Sheena and you attack her. Spark Wave will be dealing near 600 dmg. each time. Use Unisons Attacks to nullify her Spread spell. Her physical attacks deal near 160 dmg. each hit. Attacking her constantly will result in a secured victory. ------------ After the battle, you finally have the power to summon. You'll receive 'Aquamarine' and Sheena will learn "S. Seal: Water" and "Summon: Water" Techs after the scene. Now exit Thoda Geyser completely. If you want, return to Palmacosta and buy a Rapier from >Tsunami<, now return to Lake Umacy. **NOTE: After this, the Easy Path (this one), and the Hard Path (the following), link and are the same, so if you followed this path, please search for [sx53-3] (without the "-"). Right now follows the hard way from the split at Izoold. To go to the next part of the guide, open the search sub-menu and paste <- - -> (without the "blank spaces"). *-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-* *=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=* +---| V.i.i.ii Hard Way |--------------------------------|--> <+-+> <--|----+ '-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-' '=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=' To reach Hima from Ossa Trail, start heading N, pass a wooden bridge and keep going until you see a small patch of dirt, followed by a long dirt path. From the small patch of dirt, move S about 8 seconds, then rotate the camera 45 degrees (pointing SE). You'll see a dirt path leading up a hill. Take it to enter Hima. ________ __________________ / ___ _ \ / shw01 / \ \ / // / ___________________/_________________/ \// / \/ / Area #13 \ / /ales of Symphonia--------------< The Village of Adventurers, Hima > ~~~/_/~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\_____________________________________/ ~ - My lv.: Lloyd 16, Raine 15, Colette 15, Kratos 16 ~ Genis 16 ~ - Enemies: None ~ o--Weapons/Armor/Items:-------------------------------------------------------o | None | o~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~o o------------------o |> Crimson Canyon <| | o-o o-------------------o |Apple Gel.......100G| |> Crimson Canyon <| |Orange Gel......200G| o--------------o o--------------o |Panacea Bottle..150G| |Nimble Rapier.................1 Rapier, 1 Brass &| |Life Bottle.....300G| | :...............1 White Silver | |Holy Bottle.....200G| |Stinger Ring......1 Slicer Ring, 1 White Silver &| |Magic Lens.......10G| | :....1 Mermaid's Tear | |Osafune.......1,950G| |Ruby Wand............1 Gem Rod & 1 Mermaid's Tear| |Amber Cloak...1,800G| |Armet Helm.............1 Iron Helm & 1 Beast Hide| |Cleric's Hat....900G| |Red Shield........1 Omega Shield & 1 Black Silver| |Tartan Ribbon.1,600G| o-------------------------------------------------o |Pretty Mittens..800G| |Leather Cape....400G| Echoes Inn: 240G o--------------------o As you enter, there's a scene with Clumsy Assassin (her name is Sheena, by the way). Anyway, speak to the dog outside the Inn with Colette as your avatar and have her name it (this is a sidequest in which Colette has to name all the dogs in the game for her to receive a title). Its' name is Boo. You should have the needed money to buy all the upgrades at >Crimson Canyon< (after all that training to defeat Sword Dancer.) Afterwards, go in the Inn. In here, go in the first door to your right (next to the Memory Circle). In here, examine the pot with yellow smoke coming out of it in the NW corner of the room to have Wonder Chef appear and teach you "Risotto". Return to the Inn's lobby and speak to Sophia at the base of the stairs to trigger another scene. After it, you know where to go now. Exit the Inn and go up the slope behind the Inn and speak to Rockie, another dog. Now, exit Hima. As you exit Hima, return to the patch of dirt and start following it NE and at the end of it, when you reach a wooden bridge, move SE and enter Luin. ________ __________________ / ___ _ \ / shw02 / \ \ / // / ___________________/_________________/ \// / \/ / Area #14 \ / /ales of Symphonia--------------< The City of Hope, Luin > ~~~/_/~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\_____________________________________/ ~ - My lv.: Lloyd 16, Raine 15, Colette 15, Kratos 16 ~ Genis 16 ~ - Enemies: None ~ o--Weapons/Armor/Items:-------------------------------------------------------o | None | o~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~o o-------------------o |> Fighting Spirit <| | o--o o--------------o |Rapier..........1,300G| |> Crossroads <| |Duel Ring.......1,140G| | o----o |Duel Star.......1,180G| |Apple Gel......100G| |Battle Staff....1,150G| |Orange Gel.....200G| |Steel Sword.....1,380G| |Panacea Bottle.150G| |Chain Mail........960G| |Life Bottle....300G| |Fine Guard........900G| |Holy Bottle....200G| |White Cloak.......800G| |Magic Lens......10G| |Feather Robe......920G| o-------------------o |Leather Helm......600G| |Gold Circlet....1,000G| |Bracelet..........400G| |Leather Cape......400G| Phoenix Inn: 300G |Poison Charm....4,000G| |Paralysis Charm.4,000G| |Stun Bracelet...4,000G| |Rabbit's Foot...2,000G| o----------------------o o-------------------o |> Fighting Spirit <| o---------------o o---------------o |Masamune..................1 Rapier & 1 White Silver| |Osafune....................1 Mumei & 1 Black Silver| |Sinclaire..............1 Masamune, 1 Black Silver &| | :............1 White Silver | |Duel Ring..................1 Chakram & 1 Beast Fang| |Slicer Ring..........1 Flying Ring & 1 Black Silver| |Mystic Ring............1 Slicer Ring & 1 Beast Fang| |Duel Star.....................1 Nova & 1 Beast Fang| |Falling Star.............1 Duel Star & 1 Beast Hide| |Gem Rod.................1 Battle Staff & Beast Hide| |Ruby Wand..............1 Gem Rod & 1 Mermaid's Tear| |Steel Sword.............1 Long Sword & 1 Beast Fang| |Hydra Dagger..............1 Stiletto & 1 Beast Hide| |Earth Dagger.......1 Hydra Dagger, 1 White Silver &| | :.....1 Mermaid's Tear | |Silver Sword..........1 Steel Sword, 1 Beast Fang &| | :........1 Black Silver | |Iron Guard.........1 Leather Guard & 1 Black Silver| |Mage Cloak.................1 Cloak & 1 White Silver| |White Robe..........1 Feather Robe & 1 Magical Robe| |Yayoi..............1 Feather Robe & 1 Magical Cloth| |Gold Circlet............1 Circlet & 1 Magical Cloth| |Iron Gauntlet......1 Leather Glove & 1 Black Silver| o---------------------------------------------------o As you enter Luin, you'll see a scene in which Sheena is playing with a bunch of kids. When you regain control go E and on to the first area (yeah, we entered from the back). At the fork, go E and enter the first house you come across. Here, buy at >Fighting Spirit<: Duel Star, Steel Sword, 2 Chain Mail and 1 Feather Robe. Now customize a Slicer Ring and then a Mystic Ring using the Slicer Ring, a Falling Star and a White Robe. Now go stay at the Inn to trigger another scene with our anonymous friend who likes to scare people. Outside the Inn go W, over the wooden bridge and onto the next area. Now enter the first house to your right and restock your item supply here at >Crossroads<. Also check the smoky pig at the corner to have Wonder Chef appear again and teach you "Seafood Stew". Now go outside and exit Luin from the Stores' area. Once at the world map, head directly N following the river and enter Tower of Mana. As you enter, a scene triggers. The party notices that the door is locked and there's no Oracle Stone. There's nothing to do here now so head back to Luin. Once back at Luin, go in the house S of >Crossroads<. This is a Chapel of Martel. Speak to the priest in here and he'll tell you to go to Asgard in search of the Key to the Tower of Mana. Exit Luin from whence you came and start heading SE, following the dirt path. Soon enough, you'll reach a House of Salvation. In here, speak to the dog, Monmon with Colette as your avatar. Now enter the house itself and rest at the second floor. From here, follow the path SW and enter Asgard. ________ __________________ / ___ _ \ / shw03 / \ \ / // / ___________________/_________________/ \// / \/ / Area #15 \ / /ales of Symphonia--------------< The City of Ruins, Asgard > ~~~/_/~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\_____________________________________/ ~ - My lv.: Lloyd 17, Raine 16, Colette 16, Kratos 16 ~ Genis 16 ~ - Enemies: Windmaster (B) ~ o--Weapons/Armor/Items:-------------------------------------------------------o | Map of Balacruf.....(KI) - | o~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~o o---------o o-----------o o-----------o |> Gale < | |> Cyclone <| |> Typhoon <| | o------o | o----------o | o-------o |Pork........120G| |Ring mail.......1,800G| |Masamune.....1,500G| |Beef........140G| |Fine Guard........900G| |Slicer Ring..1,380G| |Chicken.....120G| |Mage Clock......1,500G| |Duel Star....1,180G| |Juicy Meat..200G| |Feather Robe......920G| |Gem Rod......1,550G| |Beef Strips..80G| |Iron Helm.......1,200G| |Steel Sword..1,380G| |Cabbage......60G| |Iron Gauntlet...1,200G| |Hydra Dagger.2,200G| |Lettuce......80G| |Kitchen Mittens.1,000G| o-------------------o |Mushroom.....60G| |Paralysis Charm.4,000G| |Potato.......50G| o----------------------o |Onion........60G| |Radish.......60G| |Carrot.......60G| o-------------o |Barley Rice..60G| |> Whirlwind <| |Panyan.......70G| | o-----o |Roll.........70G| |Apple Gel......100G| |White Satay.200G| |Orange Gel.....200G| Vortex Inn: 200G |Red Satay...200G| |Panacea Bottle.150G| Fresco Inn: 300G |Black Satay.200G| |Life Bottle....300G| Cool Breeze Inn: 400G |Egg..........50G| |Holy Bottle....200G| |Cheese.......60G| |Dark Bottle....200G| |Kelp.........40G| |Magic Lens......10G| o----------------o |Stone Charm...4000G| o-------------------o o-------------o |> Hurricane <| o------------------o o------------------o |Osafune.....................1 Mumei, 1 Black Silver| |Sinclaire..............1 Masamune, 1 Black Silver &| | :............1 White Silver | |Mystic Ring............1 Slicer Ring & 1 Beast Fang| |Falling Star.............1 Duel Star & 1 Beast Hide| |Earth Rod...........1 Battle Staff & 1 White Silver| |Earth Dagger.......1 Hydra Dagger, 1 White Silver &| | :.....1 Mermaid's Tear | |Silver Sword..........1 Steel Sword, 1 Beast Fang &| | :........1 Black Silver | |Iron Guard.........1 Leather Guard & 1 Black Silver| |Mage Cloak.................1 Cloak & 1 White Silver| |White Robe.........1 Feather Robe & 1 Magical Cloth| |Yayoi..............1 Feather Robe & 1 Magical Cloth| |Gold Circlet............1 Circlet & 1 Magical Cloth| |Iron Gauntlet......1 Leather Glove & 1 Black Silver| o--------------o=====================o--------------o |Item Name Grade| |---------------------| |Beast Fang..........5| |Magical Cloth......10| |Black Silver.......10| |White Silver.......10| |Grab Bag...........30| o---------------------o As you enter, go up the stairs on your W and speak to the priest here. He'll tell you that Priest Piccaring is at Balacruf Mausoleum. Now at the fork, head N and into the building. Buy all the upgrades you can afford and exit the store. Now, return to the fork and enter the store SW to restock your item supply and food supply, mainly to cook Rice Balls, since it heals both Hp and TP. Return downstairs and enter the building near the entrance. This is the >Vortex< Inn. Stay here if needed. From >Vortex Inn<, move NE and go up the first set of steps on your W. The shop here is >Whirlwind<. Restock here and speak to the dog to the N with Colette as your avatar. Now go all the way E and enter the next part of town. Talk to the dog wandering near the S part of this side of the city. Go up the first set of stairs and go in the dark brick house. This is Aisha's house. On the second floor, check the phonograph besides the bed to have Wonder Chef appear and teach you "Meat Stew." Return to the main area of Asgard and go up to the N area of the town. Go up the huge stairs and at the top, a scene triggers. When you can move, go around the ruin to trigger another scene. Damn, Raine kicks ass! Now head to Aisha's house to see another scene. Go to >Vortex Inn< and rest if you haven't. Save your game and go to back to the ruins. After the scene, there's a Boss Battle! ---------------- BOSS: WINDMASTER ---------------- - Name: Windmaster - Location: Asgard - HP: 10,000 - TP: 220 - ATK: 580 - DEF: 85 - XP: 1325 - Gald: 800 - Items dropped: Map of Balacruf, Talisman - Steal: - Elemental Info.: - AA: None - Weak: None - Strong: Wind - Strategy: This battle is easy if you know how to battle it. An easy way to do this is as follows: 3-combo attack + Tiger Blade + Sword Rain: Alpha. Right before you unleash Sword Rain: Alpha's uppercut, unleash an Unison Attack as follows: First Kratos using Fierce Demon Fang, then Raine with Photon, afterwards Lloyd with Sword Rain: Alpha and last but not least, Colette with Angel Feathers. With all this done as I wrote, you'll be dealing him around 5000 dmg. and Combo over 55 hits. After this, keep attacking, healing when necessary, blocking when necessary and doing the 3-combo + Lv1 Tech + Lv2 Tech, dealing near 800 dmg. each time. As you can see, he's not that hard, if you're at the levels I recommended before entering Asgard. ---------------- After the battle, there's a scene and when you regain control, head over to Aisha's house for another scene. You'll then receive 'Map of Balacruf'. After that, finally exit Asgard. Your next destination is Balacruf Mausoleum. To reach it, head SE from the House of Salvation and at the end of the land, there's Balacruf Mausoleum. ________ __________________ / ___ _ \ / shw04 / \ \ / // / ___________________/_________________/ \// / \/ / Area #16 \ / /ales of Symphonia--------------< Balacruf Mausoleum, the second seal > ~~~/_/~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\_____________________________________/ ~ - My lv.: Lloyd 17, Colette 17, Raine 17, Kratos 17 ~ Genis 17 ~ - Enemies: Arachnid, Melting Pot, Skeleton, Harpy, Gargoyle, Wind Element ~ Iapyx (B), Resolute Assassin/Guardian-Lightning (B) ~ o--Weapons/Armor/Items:-------------------------------------------------------o | 1800 Gald..... x - 1 .....Beast Fang | | Iron Guard.....(AB) - (AH).....Blue Ribbon | | Beast Hide..... 1 - (AH).....Blue Ribbon | | EX Gem Lv2..... 1 - (KI).....Tower Key | o~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~o As you enter, there's a scene. Afterwards, take the W path and at the end, there'll be a person and behind, '1800 Gald' in the chest. Now go up the central path and before going up the stairs, talk to the priest reading the sign. A scene triggers and he'll hand over 'Tower Key'. Now go up the stairs and another scene triggers. When you have control, move W, watch your step, because there are a lot of traps in this dungeon. When you see a switch on the floor, go up the stairs N and kill the worm-like enemy hiding among them, because it's the holder of the Memory Gem. Once on top, move W and push the block S 2 times. Also turn on the torch and read what's written on the wall. Now return down and push the block on top the switch and stop the wind. Return to the fork of the entrance and go E. Unlock the Memory Seal and get 'Beast Fang' from the coffin S of the Save Circle. Now lit the torch on the E side of the room. The SE stone plate says: "The Summon Spirit and the wind that serves it are to be found beyond the carving of the holy seal." Now return to where you dropped the block and read 2 other stone plates. The W stone plate 1 says: "The Balacruf are people of the wind. They are born with the wind, live with the Summon Spirit, and become as wind when they die." The W stone plate 2 says: "The world is a giant. Its ruby left hand is the throne of gods. Its emerald right hand is the power of gods. Its pearl white left leg is the calm earth. Its topaz right leg is the rich earth. And its lapis lazuli body is the blue wind princess." Now move E, go down the stairs and you'll be at the beginning fork. So now, go up the NW path, past the traps and go up the stairs. At the corner, read: The NW stone plate says: "That which the blue wind princess protects. Heads from the throne of gods and across the rich earth. Stands upon the calm earth, and gazes up at the power of gods." Now keep going and lit both torches at the N wall before going down the stairs to reveal a door. Keep going E and read the tablet. The N stone plate says: "The great King of Balacruf, Cleo III, died and was reborn as the King of the Wind. The King travels the heavens with the Summon Spirit, in past, present and future." Now move S and push the block E, and then S 1 time to stop the wind. Now go N from the switch and get 'Iron Guard' and 'Blue Ribbon' from the coffins. Now go all the way S, lit the torch, get 'Beast Hide' from the coffin and then read the E tablet. The E stone plate says: "That which is offered to the throne to the gods. From the power of gods, makes the rich earth as the calm earth. And arrives at the blue wind princess. This be as if traveling the giant's body in the manner of a clock's hand." Return to the end of the NW path from the fork of the entrance and read the central tablet. The Central stone plate says: "The holy seal that extols the king flows from the throne of the gods to the rich earth. Travels from the power of gods to the calm earth. And when the blue wind princess is born in the center of the world. The holy seal shall also be complete." Now go N and check the pedestal to change the Sorcerer's Ring function. Now go in the door on top of the pedestal (the one you opened from lighting the 2 torches) to have a scene trigger. In this room, dispose first of the enemies and input the following as it goes: 1. Blue 2. Red 3. Yellow 4. White 5. Green A hole opens on the W side of the room, and has 'Blue Ribbon' inside a coffin. Now deactivate these thingies and input the following: 1. Red 2. Green 3. Yellow 4. White 5. Blue A hole opens now on the E side of the room and get 'EX Gem Lv2' from the coffin. Deactivate those thingies one more time and input: 1. Red 2. Yellow 3. Green 4. White 5. Blue This will open the main door. I recommend saving the game, because there's two Boss Battle up ahead! ----------- BOSS: IAPYX ----------- - Name: Iapyx - Location: Balacruf Mausoleum - HP: 14,000 - TP: 88 - ATK: 690 - DEF: 100 - XP: 1324 - Gald: 2000 - Items dropped: Paralysis Charm, Spirit Bangle - Steal: None - Elemental Info.: - AA: None - Weak: None - Strong: Wind, Lightning - Strategy: As always, use a Magic Lens. If you have Omega Tempest at this point, it works wonders on it. Also, use the Unison Attack as much as possible. This enemy is not that different from Windmaster at Asgard. Try not using too many items, because after this battle, is another one. Try using Kratos mainly at healing, this way, you may save a hell lot of items. ----------- After the battle, watch the scene and when you have control, return to the entrance, but wait, Sheena stops you and there's another Boss Battle! ------------------------------------------ BOSS: RESOLUTE ASSASSIN/GUARDIAN-LIGHTNING ------------------------------------------ a) Resolute Assassin - Location: Balacruf Mausoleum - HP: 4,500 - TP: 164 - ATK: 500 - DEF: 62 - XP: 300 - Gald: 450 - Items dropped: Dark Bottle - Steal: None - Elemental Info.: - AA: None - Weak: None - Strong: None b) Guardian-Lightning - Location: Balacruf Mausoleum - HP: 5,500 - TP: 400 - ATK: 471 - DEF: 46 - XP: 250 - Gald: 250 - Items dropped: Fine Pellets, Magic Lens - Steal: None - Elemental Info.: - AA: None - Weak: None - Strong: None - Strategy: It's just like your previous battle at Ossa Trail. Take out the Guardian-Lightning first, since has more HP and is more annoying. Just follow the previous battle and you'll do just fine! ------------------------------------------ Watch another scene after the battle in which Raine names Colette's Sickness Angel Toxicosis and then exit Balacruf Mausoleum for another scene and camping again, but looks like this time, Colette's in worse state. After camping, time to head back to the Tower of Mana. Return to Luin if needed to rest and restock your item supply. Remember where the Tower of Mana is? It's just directly N of Luin. ________ __________________ / ___ _ \ / shw05 / \ \ / // / ___________________/_________________/ \// / \/ / Area #17 \ / /ales of Symphonia--------------< Tower of Mana > ~~~/_/~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\_____________________________________/ ~ - My lv.: Lloyd 19, Colette 19, Raine 19, Kratos 19 ~ Genis 19 ~ - Enemies: Specter, Grim Reaper, Living Doll, Living Sword, Iubaris (B) ~ o--Weapons/Armor/Items:-------------------------------------------------------o | Armet Helm.....(AH) - (KI).....Boltzman's Book | | Moon Robe.....(AB) - (AB).....Lunar Guard | | EX Gem Lv2..... 2 - (WP).....Stinger Ring | | Iron Mail.....(AB) - | o~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~o When you enter, there's a scene. Once inside, there's yet another scene. You have to split! I hate to do that, well, the party should be: = Going inside: - Lloyd - Colette = Staying behind: - Kratos - Genis - Raine Ok now, when you have control, start running up the spiral stairs and the second enemy you encounter (An eyeball floating avatar) has the Memory Gem for this dungeon. Keep going up and get 'Armet Helm' from the chest. Then enter the door. In here, burn the N curtain with your Sorcerer's Ring and a beam of light will come out. Push the block W 2 times and N 2 times. Now go through the W door. Here, unlock the memory seal N of you and check the pedestal next to the blue portal. You'll now have control of Raine and the others. Check the W bookshelves to obtain 'Boltzman's Book'. Now go up the N door and burn the W curtain. Then push the block W 2 times and N 2 times, go up the door to the N. In this next room, burn the W curtain, go N and push: - N most mirror (with the mirror in this form "A"): W 3 times and S 5 times. - NE most mirror (with the mirror in this form "/"): 10 times N and 4 times W. - SE most mirror (with the mirror in this form "/"): 1 time N. - SW most mirror (with the mirror in this form "\"): 8 times N, 4 times E, 6 times N and 1 time W. With this done, proceed N and get 'Moon Robe', 'Lunar Guard' and 'EX Gem Lv2' from the chests. Save your game and proceed through the N door. In here, get 'Stinger Ring' and go in the door to the E, then S and go up the spiral stairs fighting your way up (I recommend using Sheena or Kratos as your player) and go in the door. In here, go in the W door then get 'EX Gem Lv2' and 'Iron Mail' from the chests. Then cross the bridge of light to trigger a scene. You'll have control of Lloyd again. Save the game and start crossing the bridges of light until you reach Raine and the others. Prepare for a Boss Battle and enter the warp portal. There is a scene at the top and then the Boss Battle! ------------- BOSS: IUBARIS ------------- - Name: Iubaris - Location: Tower of Mana - HP: 16,800 - TP: 1500 - ATK: 860 - DEF: 80 - XP: 2650 - Gald: 2500 - Items dropped: Brass - Steal: White Quartz - Elemental Info.: - AA: Light - Weak: Shadow - Strong: Fire, Lightning, Light - Strategy: Is this enemy hard? Hahaha, no. His attacks are devastating. They are shadow-based magic. If you're using Raine, which you should, deactivate all of her techs, except for First Aid, Recover, Nurse, Dispel and Force Field. Why, you ask? Well, the answer is easy, because the rest of the techs consume tons of TP and they are the only ones that she uses. With Lloyd, just use your best techs, Sword Rain: Alpha, Tiger Rage, etc. With Kratos and Raine healing almost every time, you'll barely have the need to use items, well, maybe some Orange Gels. Remember to keep checking your HP, even if Kratos and Raine are healing, or, if needed, restore their TP with some Orange Gels. After 16,800 HP taken from him, he'll go down. ------------- There's a scene afterwards and Luna is asking for Aska (Aska is the big, double-headed bird on the back of the game case). Then Remiel appears before you again, and teaches Colette the tech "Holy Song". Now return to the entrance manually following Lloyd's path. Before leaving, you should stay for a bit and examine the bookshelves. There's valuable information on each one of them. As you exit, there's a scene and another campfire. When you regain control, exit Tower of Mana and head for Luin. ________ __________________ / ___ _ \ / shw06 / \ \ / // / ___________________/_________________/ \// / \/ / Area #18 \ / /ales of Symphonia--------------< The City of Devastation, Luin > ~~~/_/~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\_____________________________________/ ~ - My lv.: Lloyd 22, Colette 21, Raine 21, Kratos 21 ~ Genis 21 ~ - Enemies: None ~ o--Weapons/Armor/Items:-------------------------------------------------------o | None | o~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~o As you enter, a scene triggers.

In here, talk to those bastards if you want and enter the NW door. A scene triggers in here. After the scene, get 'White Robe', go down the stairs follow the path S, take the path W when prompted and get 'Iron Bracelet' from the chest. The Desian walking near the chest has the Memory Gem for the Ranch. Return to the main path and go N to watch another scene. There is 1 new name mentioned. Yggdrasill, their boss! Yessss, Sheena saves the day!!! Afterwards, exit Asgard Human Ranch and head for Luin. As you enter Luin, a campfire scene triggers. After you regain control, exit Luin and return to Hima. ________ __________________ / ___ _ \ / shw08 / \ \ / // / ___________________/_________________/ \// / \/ / Area #20 \ / /ales of Symphonia--------------< Hima > ~~~/_/~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\_____________________________________/ ~ - My lv.: Lloyd 22, Sheena 21, Raine 22, Kratos 22 ~ Genis 22, Colette 22 ~ - Enemies: None ~ o--Weapons/Armor/Items:-------------------------------------------------------o | Desian Orb.....(KI) - | o~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~o o------------------o |> Crimson Canyon <| | o-o o-------------------o |Apple Gel.......100G| |> Crimson Canyon <| |Orange Gel......200G| o--------------o o--------------o |Panacea Bottle..150G| |Nimble Rapier.................1 Rapier, 1 Brass &| |Life Bottle.....300G| | :...............1 White Silver | |Holy Bottle.....200G| |Stinger Ring......1 Slicer Ring, 1 White Silver &| |Magic Lens.......10G| | :....1 Mermaid's Tear | |Osafune.......1,950G| |Ruby Wand............1 Gem Rod & 1 Mermaid's Tear| |Amber Cloak...1,800G| |Armet Helm.............1 Iron Helm & 1 Beast Hide| |Cleric's Hat....900G| |Red Shield........1 Omega Shield & 1 Black Silver| |Tartan Ribbon.1,600G| o-------------------------------------------------o |Pretty Mittens..800G| |Leather Cape....400G| Echoes Inn: 240G o--------------------o As you enter, head to the Inn, then to the second floor and enter Sophia's room to trigger a scene.

There's another meaningless battle and the scene continues. You'll split in 2 teams. The one that's going after Kvar and the deactivation team. I recommend the Following (it's very good to take Kratos with you, so he can take his revenge on Kvar): = Infiltration team: - Lloyd - Kratos - Sheena = Deactivation team: - Raine - Colette - Genis After choosing each team's members, save your game at the SW corner of the room. The machine in the middle is the Refresher. When ready, exit through the NW door. In here, pick 'Cleric's Hat' from the N chest. Return, go around and pick 'Lamellar Leather' and 'Pellets' from the chests. Now return, go W and check the machine and shut it down. Return to the main room and exit the SW door. Here, change the function of your Sorcerer's Ring. Now go down the S stairs and then W on to the conveyer belt. Here you have to deactivate all 6 glowing-containers using the Sorcerer's Ring. After you deactivate all 6 of them, the conveyer belt stops. Start moving NW and before exiting the room, get 'EX Gem Lv2' from the chest. In this room, dispose of the 2 enemies and unlock the memory seal. Save your game and check the warp portal to change to the other party. Exit through the SE door and fight the battle on the other room. Now exit through the S door and you'll be outside. Go in between the boxes and start pushing the boxes in this order: "Push the first block E 2 times, then W 2 times. Now the box N of you pull it S 1 time and pull the E block S 1 time, go around it and push it S 1 more time. Now the NE most block pull it 1 time S and 1 time W. Push now the S block of you S" and enter the door. From the fork, go SW and at the other fork, head N, into the door, fight and watch the scene. Now go in the door W of you. Get 'Stun Charm' and examine the blue pad on the floor, this will trigger the door to move E. Return from whence you came and now enter the E door. Get 'Card of Earth' from the chest and once again examine the blue pad on the floor. Return to the previous room and now exit through the S door (the door from when you entered here in the first place). Head S and at the fork, head W and you'll see the door that moved. Fight the Raybits protecting the green pad on the floor. Return to the fork and go E this time. Dispose of the Raybits one more time and the control passes to Lloyd and the others. If you brought Sheena with you, don't forget to equip her the Card of Earth. Save and enter the portal. A scene triggers as soon as you arrive. A new name, Pronyma, appears. Then prepare for a Boss Battle! -------------------------- BOSS: KVAR/ENERGY STONE X3 -------------------------- a) Kvar - Location: Asgard Human Ranch - HP: 10,000 - TP: 340 - ATK: 410 - DEF: 65 - XP: 1680 - Gald: 1500 - Items dropped: Holy Ring, EX Gem Lv 1 - Steal: None - Elemental Info.: - AA: None - Weak: None - Strong: Lightning b) Energy Stone x3 - Location: Asgard Human Ranch - HP: 5,500 - TP: 100 - ATK: 350 - DEF: 20 - XP: 300 - Gald: 765 - Items dropped: None - Steal: None - Elemental Info.: - AA: None - Weak: None - Strong: All - Strategy: OK now, this battle is hard because there're 4 targets and 3 of your characters. Use everything you have to dispose of the 3 Energy Stones as quick as possible. They have less HP, but not just because of that, no sir, because when they're gone, the battle will be a lot easier. Do a basic 4-combo hit + Lv1 Tiger Blade + Lv2 Sword Rain: Alpha (or Sonic Sword Rain). At the lv you entered (lv 22, maybe lv 23), you'll be dealing to each Energy Stone near 1,400 dmg. A couple of combos and they'll go down. Use as many items as you need. Try to ignore Kvar as much as you can, since you need to dispose of his servants. He has "Lightning Strike" short-ranged attack, while "Lightning" and "Spark Wave" being long-range. If he's in Over Limit mode, he has another short-range attack called "Guardian Shield", being destructive as hell. He is more magician-type than warrior, so he won't be putting a lot of defense, but not because of that, you can combo him easily, no way, it's so difficult to stagger him. Remember the U. Attacks. If you can connect the combo, at the end of it (before Lloyd performs the Sword Rain: Alpha's uppercut) unleash the U. Attacks to deal even more dmg. -------------------------- After the battle, watch the scene and you'll be automatically at Asgard. Exit Asgard and head for the House of Salvation. From there, move directly S, and enter the opening in the mountain, that's Hakonesia Peak. Try to pass under the gate guarded by two soldiers. They'll only let you pass if you have a Pass. They say that the item shop in Asgard sells them, at the minimum cost of 100,000,000 Gald. Hey, that's a lot of money!!! Anyway, go to Asgard and talk to the traveler at the bottom of the stairs. Now return to the House of Salvation. From there, move directly N, go up the elevation on the ground and you'll reach Lake Umacy. Enter it. A scene triggers as you enter. Afterwards, exit Lake Umacy and go all the way to Izoold. ________ __________________ / ___ _ \ / shw10 / \ \ / // / ___________________/_________________/ \// / \/ / Area #22 \ / /ales of Symphonia--------------< The Small Fishing Port, Izoold > ~~~/_/~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\_____________________________________/ ~ - My lv.: Lloyd 24, Sheena 23, Raine 24, Kratos 24 ~ Genis 24, Colette 24 ~ - Enemies: None ~ o--Weapons/Armor/Items:-------------------------------------------------------o | None | o~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~o o-------------o |> Deep Blue <| | o-----o |Apple Gel......100G| |Orange Gel.....200G| |Panacea Bottle.150G| |Life Bottle....300G| |Cod............110G| |Squid..........110G| |Octopus.........70G| |Barley Rice.....60G| |Seaweed.........20G| o-------------------o Once here, rest at the Inn, then go to the E side of town and to the far E is >Deep Blue<. Restock items, you'll need to, after the battle with Sword Dancer. Now, talk to the dog near the entrance using Colette as your avatar. Now go in the house at the E part of this area and check the NE corner to have Wonder Chef Teach you "Rice Ball." Now go in the house to the W of it. Speak to the two people in here. Go now to the docks and talk to Max, the guy to the S end of the docks. Speak with the man a bit NW of Max. Return to speak with Max. Speak with a little kid near the entrance of the docks area. He'll say that Max loves Lyla. Now go to her house and speak with her. Return outside and speak with the man in front of Lyla's house. Return once more to Lylas' and a scene triggers. Go to where Max is and another scene triggers. Talk to him when ready. It's time to sail to the S part of the previous continent. **NOTE: Before speaking to Lyla, speak to the fisherman walking in the first area** ________ __________________ / ___ _ \ / shw11 / \ \ / // / ___________________/_________________/ \// / \/ / Area #23 \ / /ales of Symphonia--------------< The Port City, Palmacosta > ~~~/_/~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\_____________________________________/ ~ - My lv.: Lloyd 24, Sheena 23, Raine 24, Kratos 24 ~ Genis 24, Colette 24 ~ - Enemies: None ~ o--Weapons/Armor/Items:-------------------------------------------------------o | None | o~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~o o--------------o o----------o o-------------o |> Seven Seas <| |> Anchors | |> High Tide <| | o--o | Aweigh <| | o----o |Pork.........120G| | o--------o |Chain Mail....960G| |Beef.........140G| |Panacea Bottle.150G| |Fine Guard....900G| |Chicken......120G| |Life Bottle....300G| |White Cloak...800G| |Snapper......120G| |Holy Bottle....200G| |Feather Robe..920G| |Tuna.........100G| |Dark Bottle....200G| |Leather Helm..500G| |Cod..........110G| |Magic Lens......10G| |Circlet.......160G| |Squid........110G| o-------------------o |Bracelet......400G| |Shrimp........60G| |Leather Boots.600G| |Octopus.......70G| o-----------o o------------------o |Onion.........60G| |> Tsunami <| |Rice..........80G| | o-------o |Barley Rice...60G| |Rapier.......1,300G| |Pasta.........80G| |Duel Ring....1,140G| |Panyan........70G| |Duel Star....1,180G| |Bread.........70G| |Battle Staff.1,150G| |Roll..........70G| |Steel Sword..1,380G| |White Satay..200G| o-------------------oo---------------o |Red Satay....200G| |> Ultramarine <| |Egg...........50G| o--------------o o--------------o |Cheese........60G| |Masamune.............1 Rapier, 1 White Silver| |Milk..........50G| |Slicer Ring.....1 Flying Disk, 1 Black Silver| o-----------------o |Gem Rod..........1 Battle Staff, 1 Beast Hide| |Steel Sword........1 Long Sword, 1 Beast Fang| |Mage Cloak............1 Cloak, 1 White Silver| o----------o====================o-------------o o------------o |Item Name Grade| |> Marble's <| |--------------------| | o-------o |Beast Fang.........5| |Palma Potion...1000G| |Magical Cloth.....10| |Apple Gel.......100G| |Black Silver......10| |Orange Gel......200G| |White Silver......10| |Panacea Bottle..150G| |Grab Bag..........30| |Life Bottle.....300G| o--------------------o |Holy Bottle.....200G| |Magic Lens.......10G| Skipper's Haven INN: 200G |Guard Bottle...1000G| |Poison Charm...4000G| o--------------------o First of all, go around the wooden dock. Talk to the dog and proceed to the exit the shopping area to the S. Walk a few steps S and a scene triggers automatically. After it go E over the bridge and go in the store before the stairs. A scene happens here. Afterwards, exit and go to the part of town. There's a scene as you enter. Then, talk to the dog walking around. Enter the SE building and a scene triggers automatically. Then check the Ball Basket to have Wonder Chef appear and teach you "Omelet." Now go up the stairs and go in the first door to the E. You are asked 3 questions, and the answers are: - Guardian - Acceleration due to gravity - I don't know Afterwards, return to the hall and go in the room to your E. A hilarious scene happens here. After that, Genis receives the title "Honor Roll." Return to the first floor and go in the second door to the E. Talk to the woman behind the counter to start a minigame. After it, Colette obtains the title "Turbo Waitress." If you did well, you'll receive a Palma Potion, if not, you'll just have to buy it at Marble's. Outside the school, go in the Church just N of you. Talk to Chocolat in here. Go now and give those guys their Palma Potion, return to the E part of town and go in the NW building. A scene happens in here and after it, return to the Church and talk with the Priest. After that, you know you're next destination, Hakonesia Peak. To reach Hakonesia Peak, start heading NE following the yellow road. Pass a bridge on your way and keep ignoring forks. After the bridge, you'll reach a House of Salvation. Enter it and talk to the doggy with Colette. Enter the building and rest if needed. Now its time to continue your journey to Hakonesia Peak. Again at the world map, keep heading N and at the end of the yellow road is Hakonesia Peak. ________ __________________ / ___ _ \ / shw12 / \ \ / // / ___________________/_________________/ \// / \/ / Area #24 \ / /ales of Symphonia--------------< Hakonesia Peak > ~~~/_/~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\_____________________________________/ ~ - My lv.: Lloyd 24, Sheena 23, Raine 24, Kratos 24 ~ Genis 24, Colette 24 ~ - Enemies: None ~ o--Weapons/Armor/Items:-------------------------------------------------------o | None | o~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~o As you enter, run up the hill and go in the house.

Walk a few steps N and a scene triggers, showing that Chocolat was kidnapped by the Desians. Answer with the top option, of course. Now go into the house and talk with the priests. They tell you that the Spiritua Statue that they have is a fake and the original one was lost somewhere near Thoda Island. Choose the top answer again. Rest for the night and leave House of Salvation and towards Palmacosta Human Ranch. From where you are, move SE, following the yellow road and when it ends, keep running a few steps and turn N when possible.

When the answers prompt, you have to pick between going to see Dorr first, then coming again to the Ranch; or completing the Ranch first, the going to see Dorr. Now, I'll pick "Let's return to Palmacosta", making the channel of the story the following: 1. Palmacosta 2. Palmacosta Human Ranch If you picked "Let's go attack!" the channel of the story will be: 1. Palmacosta Human Ranch 2. Palmacosta **NOTE: If you picked "Let's go attack!", first see the Palmacosta Ranch area [shw1-6] (without the -), then look for Palmacosta, which is the following section.** As you can see, it's the same thing, and the story doesn't change that much. Now exit Palmacosta Ranch and return to Palmacosta. ________ __________________ / ___ _ \ / shw15 / \ \ / // / ___________________/_________________/ \// / \/ / Area #27 \ / /ales of Symphonia--------------< Palmacosta > ~~~/_/~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\_____________________________________/ ~ - My lv.: Lloyd 24, Sheena 23, Raine 24, Kratos 24 ~ Genis 24, Colette 24 ~ - Enemies: Kilia (B) ~ o--Weapons/Armor/Items:-------------------------------------------------------o | Card Key.....(KI) - | o~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~o o--------------o o----------o o-------------o |> Seven Seas <| |> Anchors | |> High Tide <| | o--o | Aweigh <| | o----o |Pork.........120G| | o--------o |Chain Mail....960G| |Beef.........140G| |Panacea Bottle.150G| |Fine Guard....900G| |Chicken......120G| |Life Bottle....300G| |White Cloak...800G| |Snapper......120G| |Holy Bottle....200G| |Feather Robe..920G| |Tuna.........100G| |Dark Bottle....200G| |Leather Helm..500G| |Cod..........110G| |Magic Lens......10G| |Circlet.......160G| |Squid........110G| o-------------------o |Bracelet......400G| |Shrimp........60G| |Leather Boots.600G| |Octopus.......70G| o-----------o o------------------o |Onion.........60G| |> Tsunami <| |Rice..........80G| | o-------o |Barley Rice...60G| |Rapier.......1,300G| |Pasta.........80G| |Duel Ring....1,140G| |Panyan........70G| |Duel Star....1,180G| |Bread.........70G| |Battle Staff.1,150G| |Roll..........70G| |Steel Sword..1,380G| |White Satay..200G| o-------------------oo---------------o |Red Satay....200G| |> Ultramarine <| |Egg...........50G| o--------------o o--------------o |Cheese........60G| |Masamune.............1 Rapier, 1 White Silver| |Milk..........50G| |Slicer Ring.....1 Flying Disk, 1 Black Silver| o-----------------o |Gem Rod..........1 Battle Staff, 1 Beast Hide| |Steel Sword........1 Long Sword, 1 Beast Fang| |Mage Cloak............1 Cloak, 1 White Silver| o----------o====================o-------------o o------------o |Item Name Grade| |> Marble's <| |--------------------| | o-------o |Beast Fang.........5| |Palma Potion...1000G| |Magical Cloth.....10| |Apple Gel.......100G| |Black Silver......10| |Orange Gel......200G| |White Silver......10| |Panacea Bottle..150G| |Grab Bag..........30| |Life Bottle.....300G| o--------------------o |Holy Bottle.....200G| |Magic Lens.......10G| Skipper's Haven INN: 200G |Guard Bottle...1000G| |Poison Charm...4000G| o--------------------o As you enter, head straight for the Inn. Rest up and then save your game. Restock items at Marble's, but when you enter, a scene triggers. Afterwards, head for Dorr’s HQ, a scene happens here and then go down to the basement. There's a scene here and then a Boss Battle! ----------- BOSS: KILIA ----------- - Name: Kilia - Location: Palmacosta - HP: 10,000 - TP: 400 - ATK: 490 - DEF: 65 - XP: 500 - Gald: 500 - Items dropped: Heal Bracelet - Steal: None - Elemental Info.: - AA: None - Weak: Light - Strong: Darkness - Strategy: She's just so easy at the lv. we are now. She has 10,000 HP (just like Kvar), but she's alone and has a weakness to Light, making Raine's Photon more than effective. She has to use Photon all the battle, dealing near 1,300 dmg. leaving the healing to Kratos (I don't think you'll need to heal much). Also Colette's Angel Feathers are devastating. She has a spell called "Acid Rain", which lowers everyone's Defense, not very helpful, in my opinion. She'll be dealing near 80 dmg. per hit, not much. There's really not much to say about this fight. ----------- Damn, that Kilia monster is a bitch. A very sad scene happens here. He then hands over 'Card Key', and the passcode is "3341". Now we can finally go and defeat Magnius. Before leaving, buy a Battle Staff and a Rapier from >Tsunami<. Now, talk to the person near the exit and tell her part of the way. You'll now be at the House of Salvation. Exit and go to Palmacosta Human Ranch ________ __________________ / ___ _ \ / shw16 / \ \ / // / ___________________/_________________/ \// / \/ / Area #28 \ / /ales of Symphonia--------------< Palmacosta Ranch > ~~~/_/~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\_____________________________________/ ~ - My lv.: Lloyd 25, Sheena 23, Raine 24, Kratos 24 ~ Genis 24, Colette 24 ~ - Enemies: Evil Sorcerer, Bowman, Whip Master, Raybit, ~ Magnius/Bowman/Whip Master (B) ~ o--Weapons/Armor/Items:-------------------------------------------------------o | White Silver..... 1 - (AA).....Omega Shield | | Purple Card.....(KI) - 4 .....Orange Gel | | Life Bottle..... 2 - 2 .....Apple Gel | | EX Gem Lv2..... 1 - (AB).....Mage Cloak | | Red Card.....(KI) - (KI).....Blue Card | | Melange Gel..... 1 - (KI).....Pass | o~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~o o-------------------o |> Vending Machine <| | | |Apple Gel......100G| |Orange Gel.....200G| |Panacea Bottle.150G| |Life Bottle....300G| |Magic Lens......10G| o-------------------o As you enter, talk to Neil. Now from the fork, follow the NW path and enter the passcode "3341", now enter the door. Now move forward and at the fork, go NE, then E at the open area and enter the door. Once in this room of the facility, change the function of the Sorcerer's Ring to a Radar (Ray-dar?). Now return to the W door and fight the enemy here for the Memory Gem of this dungeon. Use the Sorcerer's Ring near this enemy to find 'Apple Gel' from the sparkle. Go down the SW path and NW at the fork. There's 'Orange Gel' on the W side. A bit N of it, there's 'Life Bottle' on the E side of the wall. Return to the fork and now go SE. At the end of it, find yet another 'Orange Gel' from the sparkle. Return to the main hall and go in the E door. Kill the enemy to the N of you and use the Sorcerer's Ring. You'll see several tiny lights. Check the one N of you and get 'White Silver'. The sparkle SE of the first one has 'Omega Shield'. Check the blue pedestal "thingy" using the Rader to make a bridge appear. Dispose of the enemy near the Refresher to receive 'Purple Card'. Now check the NE corner of this side of the room for 'Orange Gel'. Also check the blue pedestal to make another bridge appear and get 'Life Bottle' from the sparkle. Return and turn both bridges off. Once again at the main hall, use your Sorcerer's Ring and use the Warp Portal. Here, head N, save your game and go in the E door. In here, use the Sorcerer's Ring and you'll see several semitransparent blocks. Move the second one 2 times S, 2 times E, 3 times S. Push the block on the right of the one you were moving S and get 'EX Gem Lv2' from the sparkle. Now push the one you were pushing 3 times E and 3 times S. Move the block directly N (on the N wall) until you can get 'Mage Cloak' from the sparkle, but you should already have one, right? Now check the blue pedestal to make a bridge. Cross it and go down the stairs. A scene triggers and you'll receive 'Red Card' automatically. Return, turn off the bridge and return to the save point. Now go in the W door from the save point. A scene takes place as soon as you enter. Afterwards, the little boy handles 'Blue Card'. Return to the save point and use the portal at the N of it. This place is a bit complicated, so keep track of the following. Please first read about that room and then the portal you have to take, and it's number is below. To get a 'Panacea Bottle', just: - (Taking the room after taking the portal just N of the save point as reference) --------- Before taking this first portal, there are 2 walking enemies and at the W side, take the Melange Gel from the sparkle. 1st portal: West --------- In this room, there are 2 walking enemies and there's an alarm behind the sparkle on the W side. 2nd portal: North --------- Here, there's 'Apple Gel' to your left right where you start and only that. 3rd portal: North After getting it, return to the previous room and take the portal at the center and choose "Return to the connecting passage." Now let us go and kick Magnius' ass! - (Taking the room after taking the portal just N of the save point as reference) --------- There are 2 walking enemies here, and a Melange Gel at the W side if you didn't take it from before. 1st portal: West --------- There are 2 walking enemies and an alarm on the W side. 2nd portal: West --------- There are 2 walking enemies and an alarm at the N side of the room. 3rd portal: South --------- Here, there's nothing but 'Life Bottle' in the sparkle right next to you. 4th portal: North --------- Here, there are 2 walking enemies and an alarm at the N side. 5th portal: North --------- There's 1 walking enemy and 'Orange Gel' in the sparkle at the W side of the room. 6th portal: West --------- There's 1 walking enemy and an alarm at the N side. 7th portal: North --------- There's 1 walking enemy and an alarm at the W side. 8th portal: West After all this hard and confusing work, a scene triggers, then a battle with Desians, and another scene. Now, before going N to her, go E and unlock the memory seal. Heal up and now go to Chocolat. Enter the portal, watch a scene, another meaningless battle and after it, you receive 'Pass'. Now then, prepare for a Boss Battle! -------------------------------- BOSS: MAGNIUS/BOWMAN/WHIP MASTER -------------------------------- a) Magnius - Location: Palmacosta Human Ranch - HP: 8,500 - TP: 120 - ATK: 450 - DEF: 65 - XP: 675 - Gald: 1700 - Items dropped: Warrior Symbol, EX Gem Lv1 - Steal: None - Elemental Info.: - AA: None - Weak: None - Strong: Fire b) Bowman - Location: Palmacosta Human Ranch - HP: 480 - TP: 10 - ATK: 130 - DEF: 20 - XP: 50 - Gald: 40 - Items dropped: Orange Gel - Steal: Orange Gel - Elemental Info.: - AA: None - Weak: None - Strong: None c) Whip Master - Location: Palmacosta Human Ranch - HP: 570 - TP: 10 - ATK: 120 - DEF: 10 - XP: 14 - Gald:10 - Items dropped: Apple Gel - Steal: Apple Gel - Elemental Info.: - AA: None - Weak: None - Strong: None - Strategy: First of all, and almost what you do in every Boss Battle, take out first the Bowman and the Whip Master. They don't deal that much amount of dmg., but, they're just so annoying. After taking care of them, focus on Magnius. Just think of him as a weaker Kilia, having only 8,500 HP. He even has less ATK power than her. Just attack him with normally and in no time, this battle will be yours. -------------------------------- Watch the scene as you finish the battle. There is 1 new name mentioned in the scene: Rodyle. When you regain control, leave the ranch and now we can finally go for the last Seal. From where the Human Ranch was, move SE and enter Thoda Dock. ________ __________________ / ___ _ \ / shw17 / \ \ / // / ___________________/_________________/ \// / \/ / Area #29 \ / /ales of Symphonia--------------< Thoda Dock > ~~~/_/~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\_____________________________________/ ~ - My lv.: Lloyd 25, Sheena 23, Raine 24, Kratos 25 ~ Genis 25, Colette 24 ~ - Enemies: None ~ - Weapons/Armor/Items:-------------------------------------------------------o | None | o~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~o Start by resting at the Inn on the second floor. Outside, there's another dog, speak to it with Colette as your Avatar. Go inside once again and speak with Candy, the woman behind the counter. A scene triggers, and afterwards, you'll be at Thoda Geyser and ready to take the last seal. ________ __________________ / ___ _ \ / shw18 / \ \ / // / ___________________/_________________/ \// / \/ / Area #30 \ / /ales of Symphonia--------------< Thoda Geyser, the seal of water > ~~~/_/~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\_____________________________________/ ~ - My lv.: Lloyd 25, Sheena 23, Raine 24, Kratos 25 ~ Genis 25, Colette 24 ~ - Enemies: Starfish, Float Dragon, Water Element, Green Roper, Octoslime ~ Adulocia/Amphitra x2 (B) ~ o--Weapons/Armor/Items:-------------------------------------------------------o | Spiritua Statue.....(KI) - 1 .....Mermaid's Tear | | Circlet.....(AH) - 1 .....Life Bottle | | Circlet.....(AH) - (AC).....Stun Bracelet | | White Silver..... 1 - 1 .....Orange Gel | | EX Gem Lv 1..... 1 - (AC).....Aquamarine | o~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~o o--------------o |> Thoda Shop <| | o----o |Apple Gel......100G| |Orange Gel.....200G| |Melange Gel....500G| |Panacea Bottle.150G| |Life Bottle....300G| |Magic Lens......10G| o-------------------o As you arrive, go up the path and a scene triggers. Talk to the guy with a backpack and a green hat to buy supplies. Now go NW of where you are and talk to the dog. "This one feels like a Bob. His tail is so cute." Now go to the NE corner and approach the pedestal shown to you in the scene. Another scene happens, showing you the Spiritua Statue. You only have to follow Genis' directions without failing more than 2 times. Now check the pedestal with the blue thing on top to have another scene trigger. Once inside, move N, dispose of the enemies here, go down the stairs and get 'Mermaid's Tear'. Keep going down the stairs and at the bottom, get 'Life Bottle' and 'Circlet' from the chests at the E side of the room. Go down the SW exit, ignoring the Sorcerer's ring pedestal function for now. Get 'EX Gem Lv1' from a hidden chest behind the upper stone pillar on your E side. Now go through the stone pillars on your E and get 'White Silver' and 'Orange Gel' from the chests. Return to the previous room and go to the N part of the room and use the Sorcerer's Ring on the torches, each next to a stone tablet with a flame carved into it. Once you set them ablaze, it's time to change the function of the Sorcerer's Ring. Change the function of the Sorcerer's Ring and exit through the SE exit. Go down the stairs and get 'Stun Bracelet' and 'Circlet' from the chests. The shark-type enemy floating near the chests has the Memory Gem for this dungeon. Keep going until you're in the next room. Push the huge block right in front of you under the door and you hear a "click." Return to the room where you set the torches ablaze and you'll notice a scale in front of the large blue urn. Use the Sorcerer's Ring on the E side of the scale and a door will try to close on the lower level, but that's why we put the block there. Just a bit E and then S is the Memory Seal (it's almost invisible). A very good idea at this point, is to equip an EX Gem Lv2 on Raine and put the "Personal" option. This way, in every Memory Circle you encounter, all her non-battle magic (Such as First Aid and Recover) will only use 1 TP. That's cool, isn't it? Go to the room where you pushed the block and at the end of the corridor, there's another scale in front of a large blue urn. Pour water in the E side of the scale and have the platform on the W side of the room go up. Return to the room above (where you lit the torches), heal up, save your game and use the warp portal on the platform you just raised. Here, watch the scene and prepare to fight Adulocia and Amphitra x2. -------------------------- BOSS: ADULOCIA/AMPHITRA X2 -------------------------- a) Adulocia - Location: Thoda Geyser - HP: 10,000 - TP: 248 - ATK: 600 - DEF: 55 - XP: 825 - Gald: 765 - Items dropped: Mermaid's Tear - Steal: None - Elemental Info.: - AA: None - Weak: Lightning - Strong: Water, Ice b) Amphitra x2 - Location: Thoda Geyser - HP: 2,300 - TP: 120 - ATK: 475 - DEF: 20 - XP: 150 - Gald: 500 - Items dropped: None - Steal: None - Elemental Info.: - AA: Water - Weak: Lightning, Fire - Strong: Water, Ice - Strategy: Start by using Magic Lens on each one of them. The Amphitra are very annoying, because if you start attacking Adulocia and making combos, they'll start messing with you. So take them out as soon as possible, but keep in mind that Adulocia starts messing with you too. Try to ignore her and focus on the Amphitras. Once they're gone, focus on the big mama. Her worst attacks are Spread and Aqua Laser. Kratos and Raine should focus on healing and Colette should focus on using Para Ball. After a while, they'll go down. -------------------------- Watch a scene as you finish the battle. Colette learns a new spell, "Sacrifice" (whoa, what a name!). Leave, go to the save point, recover and change Colette for Sheena. Save your game and go deal with Undine, the Summon Spirit of Water. ------------ BOSS: UNDINE ------------ - Name: Undine - Location: Thoda Geyser - HP: 13,000 - TP: 320 - ATK: 580 - DEF: 88 - XP: 2110 - Gald: 765 - Items dropped: Guardian Symbol - Steal: None - Elemental Info.: - AA: None - Weak: None - Strong: Water, Ice - Strategy: I recommend a party of Lloyd, Kratos, Raine and Sheena. Deactivate all of Kratos spells, except for Thunder Blade. Raine's job will consist of using Nurse all the battle, if you have it, while Sheena and you attack her. Spark Wave will be dealing near 600 dmg. each time. Use Unisons Attacks to nullify her Spread spell, because it's devastating at this point and lv. Her physical attacks deal near 140 dmg. each hit. Attacking her constantly will result in a secured victory. ------------ After the battle, you finally have the power to summon. You'll receive 'Aquamarine' and Sheena will learn "S. Seal: Water" and "Summon: Water" Techs after the scene. Exit the Geyser completely and you'll be camping again. A scene triggers and you'll regain control. Jump on your awesome washtub and exit Thoda Dock. At the World Map, head all the way N, enter Hakonesia Peak and on to Lake Umacy. **NOTE: After this, the Hard Path (this one), and the Easy Path link and are the same, so if you followed this path, keep reading.** Search Code: <---> ________ __________________ / ___ _ \ / sx533 / \ \ / // / ___________________/_________________/ \// / \/ / Area #33 \ / /ales of Symphonia--------------< Lake Umacy > ~~~/_/~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\_____________________________________/ ~ - My lv.: Lloyd 29, Sheena 28, Raine 28, Kratos 29 ~ Genis 29, Colette 29 ~ - Enemies: None ~ o--Weapons/Armor/Items:-------------------------------------------------------o | Unicorn Horn.....(KI) - | o~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~o There's a scene as you enter, and after a while, you'll get 'Unicorn Horn'. Afterwards, Raine learns "Resurrection" tech and obtains the title "Grand Healer." When you regain control, it's time to go make pacts with the other Summon Spirits. Let's go get the Wind Summon Spirit, since it's closer to our location. So then, head to Balacruf Mausoleum. This is totally optional, but you'll have to do it sooner or later in order to proceed with the game. ________ __________________ / ___ _ \ / sx534 / \ \ / // / ___________________/_________________/ \// / \/ / Area #34 \ / /ales of Symphonia--------------< Balacruf Mausoleum > ~~~/_/~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\_____________________________________/ ~ - My lv.: Lloyd 29, Sheena 28, Raine 28, Kratos 29 ~ Genis 29, Colette 29 ~ - Enemies: Arachnid, Melting Pot, Skeleton, Harpy, Gargoyle ~ Sephie/Yutis/Fairess (B) ~ o--Weapons/Armor/Items:-------------------------------------------------------o | Opal.....(AC) - 1 .....EX Gem Lv3 | | Metal Sphere..... 1 - 1 .....Onion | | Exsphere Shard.....(KI) - | o~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~o Save at the unlocked memory circle and proceed to where the seal was broken.

Sephie is the fairy with the huge sword, and she's green. Next is Yutis, the purple fairy. She has a Bow and arrows as weapon. And last but not least is Fairess, the orange fairy which has a huge shield. To start off, take Fairess out first, since she has the least HP, and her magic is, just so annoying. Her physical attacks deal over 250 dmg. So take her out as soon as possible. With her out, the battle will get a bit easier. Go and take Yutis after Fairess. Her physical attacks are annoying to. She'll hit from 3 to 5 times, dealing over 150 dmg. per hit. Afterwards, when Sephie is alone, the rest of the battle will be just a breeze. Attack the three of them with your most powerful attacks and combos. Use the Unison Attack every time it fills, to ensure the triumph. -------------------------- After the battle, watch the scene (They're cute, aren't they?). You'll receive 'Opal' and Sheena learns "S. Seal: Wind" and "Summon: Wind" Techs. Afterwards, leave Balacruf Mausoleum and head N. We now need to go to Triet Ruins. We have to backtrack a lot. You can pass by Hima and customize a Nimble Rapier from the Rapier I told you to buy from Palmacosta. From Hima, head W and S and you'll be at the first continent. Cross Ossa Trail and head for Dirk's House (yes, you have to cross Iselia forest). Once at his house, talk to him to trigger a scene and obtain 'EX Gem Lv3', 'Metal Sphere', 'Onion' and 'Exsphere Shard'. Return to Triet, rest at the Inn and head for Triet Ruins. ________ __________________ / ___ _ \ / sx535 / \ \ / // / ___________________/_________________/ \// / \/ / Area #35 \ / /ales of Symphonia--------------< Triet Ruins > ~~~/_/~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\_____________________________________/ ~ - My lv.: Lloyd 30, Sheena 29, Raine 29, Genis 30 ~ Kratos 30, Colette 30 ~ - Enemies: Fire Element, Fake (SB), Fire Bird, Brown Pot, Scorpion ~ Efreet (B) ~ o--Weapons/Armor/Items:-------------------------------------------------------o | Garnet.....(AC) - | o~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~o Just run up to the main chamber, watch the scene and battle Efreet! ------------ BOSS: EFREET ------------ - Name: Efreet - Location: Triet Ruins - HP: 18,000 - TP: 850 - ATK: 500 - DEF: 35 - XP: 2430 - Gald: 945 - Items dropped: Attack Symbol - Steal: None - Elemental Info.: - AA: Fire - Weak: None - Strong: Fire - Strategy: He's like Undine. He has high physical strength. Have Genis cast Icicle or better yet, Freeze Lancer if you have it. Raine must be using Nurse the whole time. If you're hit by his Burst fall, recover balance with X button. When in Overlimit mode, he has a devastating attack called "Flames of Destruction", which is short-ranged. Genis should not stop using Freeze Lancer, since it'll smack down a lot of HP from Efreet. When you see Eruption on top of the screen, unleash a U. Attack as soon as you can, to nullify it. You might be killed, but persevere and you'll conquer him! ------------ After the fight, watch the scene and receive 'Garnet'. Sheena also learns "S. Seal: Fire" and "Summon: Fire" techs. Now finally, return all the way to Hima. ________ __________________ / ___ _ \ / sx536 / \ \ / // / ___________________/_________________/ \// / \/ / Area #36 \ / /ales of Symphonia--------------< Hima > ~~~/_/~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\_____________________________________/ ~ - My lv.: Lloyd 31, Sheena 30, Raine 30, Kratos 30 ~ Genis 30, Colette 30 ~ - Enemies: None ~ o--Weapons/Armor/Items:-------------------------------------------------------o | Assassin's Ring.....(KI) - | o~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~o o------------------o |> Crimson Canyon <| | o-o o-------------------o |Apple Gel.......100G| |> Crimson Canyon <| |Orange Gel......200G| o--------------o o--------------o |Panacea Bottle..150G| |Nimble Rapier.................1 Rapier, 1 Brass &| |Life Bottle.....300G| | :...............1 White Silver | |Holy Bottle.....200G| |Stinger Ring......1 Slicer Ring, 1 White Silver &| |Magic Lens.......10G| | :....1 Mermaid's Tear | |Osafune.......1,950G| |Ruby Wand............1 Gem Rod & 1 Mermaid's Tear| |Amber Cloak...1,800G| |Armet Helm.............1 Iron Helm & 1 Beast Hide| |Cleric's Hat....900G| |Red Shield........1 Omega Shield & 1 Black Silver| |Tartan Ribbon.1,600G| o-------------------------------------------------o |Pretty Mittens..800G| |Leather Cape....400G| Echoes Inn: 240G o--------------------o As you enter, there's a scene.

Afterwards, exit, remove all of Kratos' equipment and equip him with the worse weapon you have for him and save your game. Outside, go up the hill on the back of the Inn to the top. A scene triggers as you reach the top. When you have control, you can talk to whoever you want to, but you must talk to Colette to continue the game. After the scene, run up the hill to the top and pick whoever you want to ride the dragon with. Afterwards, you'll be a the Tower of Salvation. ________ __________________ / ___ _ \ / sx537 / \ \ / // / ___________________/_________________/ \// / \/ / Area #37 \ / /ales of Symphonia--------------< Tower of Salvation > ~~~/_/~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\_____________________________________/ ~ - My lv.: Lloyd 31, Sheena 30, Raine 30, Genis 30 ~ - Enemies: Remiel (B), Kratos (B), Yggdrasill (B) ~ o--Weapons/Armor/Items:-------------------------------------------------------o | None | o~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~o Run in the Tower and to the end to trigger a scene.

Just keep attacking him with all you've got. Deactivate all of Genis' Lv1 Spells and activate all his Lv2 Spells. His physical attacks are similar to Yutis', hitting you from 3 to 5 times dealing over 150 dmg. per hit. Use the Unison Attacks in this battle in special situations. After some time, he'll go down. ------------ After the battle, watch the scene and prepare for another Boss Battle! ------------------- BOSS: KRATOS AURION ------------------- - Name: Kratos Aurion - Location: Tower of Salvation (Sylvarant) - HP: 22,500 - TP: 1500 - ATK: 750 - DEF: 150 - XP: 3280 - Gald: 2900 - Items dropped: EX Gem Lv3, Life Bottle - Steal: None - Elemental Info.: - AA: None - Weak: None - Strong: Light - Strategy: Well, what can I say? I was speechless the first time I saw this too. He surely has a hell lot of HP, but it doesn't matter if you win or lose this battle. You can just put the controller down and see how he kills you. But if you wanna defeat him, then keep reading. He has all of his tech attacks he had when he was with you, plus some more. He makes good use of them, so don't fear of using all of your items if necessary. I used almost 8 Life Bottles in Lloyd alone. When he's in Over Limit, he can make use of his spells without waiting for them to charge. Make good use of the guardian Skill he thought you. After 20 Life Bottles, 15 Orange Gels and 18 Apple Gels (they're random numbers), Kratos Aurion will go down. ------------------- Damn, that sucker was hard! Well, watch the scene and prepare for another Boss Battle. ---------------- BOSS: YGGDRASILL ---------------- - Name: Yggdrasill - Location: Tower of Salvation (Sylvarant) - HP: 40,000 - TP: 3000 - ATK: 1800 - DEF: 350 - XP: 3000 - Gald: 0 - Items dropped: None - Steal: None - Elemental Info.: - AA: None - Weak: Shadow - Strong: Light - Strategy: Well, this battle is technically impossible. Just use a Magic Lens to put his stats on the Monster List. Then, let down the controller and watch the massacre. **NOTE: Right now, I'm using the XP x10 from the Grade Shop and leveling up to see is Yggdrasill can be defeated at this part of the game.** ---------------- After the battle, watch the scene and ask yourself where you are. ________ __________________ / ___ _ \ / sx538 / \ \ / // / ___________________/_________________/ \// / \/ / Area #38 \ / /ales of Symphonia--------------< Sylvarant Base > ~~~/_/~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\_____________________________________/ ~ - My lv.: Lloyd 32, Sheena 32, Raine 32, Colette 30 ~ Genis 32 ~ - Enemies: Foot Soldier, Evil Warrior, Raybit ~ o--Weapons/Armor/Items:-------------------------------------------------------o | Straw Hat.....(AH) - 1 .....EX Gem Lv2 | | Protect Ring.....(AC) - | o~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~o o-------------o |> Refresher <| | o-----o |Apple Gel......100G| |Orange Gel.....200G| |Melange Gel....500G| |Panacea Bottle.150G| |Life Bottle....300G| |Magic Lens......10G| o-------------------o That Kratos is a son of a ****! But I still like him, though. When you have control head E, N and down the stairs. In the next room, the machine S of you is a Refresher. Keep going E, save your game and go up the stairs. In this room, first of all, change the function of your Sorcerer's Ring. Afterwards, go up the stairs W of the pedestal, head S and go down the next set of stairs. Down here, move the brown block S 1 time and W 1 time. After doing so, go E and move the other brown block 1 time N, 7 times W and 1 time S. Now go up the stairs, cross the blocks and push the grey block down. Now move the grey block E of the blue panel into the opening on the wall. Now, both of the brown blocks, move them into the opening SW of where you placed the grey block. Now, cross the bridges of blocks and get 'Straw Hat' and 'EX Gem Lv2' from the chests. Afterwards, move the grey block on to the blue panel, revealing a set of stairs. Now, do you see the brown square drawn on the floor where you first created a bridge with the brown boxes? Well, you have to put the brown boxes, one on the NE corner of the brown square and the other one on the SE corner, now go down the stairs you previously revealed. Down here, go down the stairs and go E at the fork. Push the metal block down into the water. Now on the W side, and use the Sorcerer's Ring on the blue pillar to the N. Examine the machine S of you. Cross the bridge you did with the blocks. Use your Sorcerer's Ring on the blue pillar at the S of the room and examine the machine up the stairs. Behind this machine, on the lower level, there is 'Protect Ring' in a hidden chest. Now go to the canal, and down the stairs. Push the metal block on to the blue panel and shoot at the blue pillar just W of you. Now go though the door at the S end of the room. Then watch the scene, pay close attention to what they are saying. Then, move W and then N to trigger a scene and finally go to Tethe'alla. Now, where the hell are we? *-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-* *=-=-=_____=-=-=* +---| V.i.ii Tethe'alla |--------------------------------|--> [_____] <--|----+ '-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-' '=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=' ________ __________________ / ___ _ \ / sx539 / \ \ / // / ___________________/_________________/ \// / \/ / Area #39 \ / /ales of Symphonia--------------< Fooji Mountains > ~~~/_/~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\_____________________________________/ ~ - My lv.: Lloyd 32, Sheena 32, Raine 32, Colette 30 ~ Genis 32 ~ - Enemies: Egg Bear, Black Bat, Night Rain, Hare ~ o--Weapons/Armor/Items:-------------------------------------------------------o | EX Gem Lv2..... 1 - (WP).....Cool Orbit | | Card of Fire.....(WP) - 1 .....Anti-magic Bottle | | Misty Robe.....(AB) - (AC).....Black Onyx | o~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~o When you have control, start moving SE, save your game and proceed. As you go down, get 'EX Gem Lv2' from the chest. Keep going down, a long way down, get 'Cool Orbit' and 'Card of Fire' near the exit. There's a rock on the E side of the path to get the Cool Orbit; behind it, there's 'Black Onyx' in a hidden chest. Then continue SE until you see the exit to the World Map. Before exiting, there's a path you can take W (it's not that visible because of a tree). At the end of the road is 'Misty Robe' in a chest. Now you know your next destination, Meltokio. Start heading NW and when you see a mountain splitting the path, follow the yellow road and get 'Anti-magic Bottle' at the end. Return to the fork and start heading N and soon enough you'll reach Meltokio. ________ __________________ / ___ _ \ / sx540 / \ \ / // / ___________________/_________________/ \// / \/ / Area #40 \ / /ales of Symphonia--------------< The Imperial City, Meltokio > ~~~/_/~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\_____________________________________/ ~ - My lv.: Lloyd 33, Sheena 32, Raine 32, Colette 31 ~ Genis 32 ~ - Enemies: None ~ o--Weapons/Armor/Items:-------------------------------------------------------o | Sheena's Letter.....(KI) - | o~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~o o-----------o o---------o o------------o |> Belteon <| |> Axios <| |> Trupelos <| | o------------o | o----------o | o---------o |Apple Gel...........100G| |Nimble Rapier.2,800G| |Splint Mail.....3,000G| |Lemon Gel.........1,000G| |Ogre Sword....3,000G| |Elven Protector.3,000G| |Orange Gel..........200G| |Ray Thrust....3,000G| |Druid Cloak.....2,700G| |Pineapple Gel.....1,200G| |Cool Orbit....2,250G| |Misty Robe......2,200G| |Melange Gel.........500G| |Silver Sword..2,600G| |Straw Hat.......1,000G| |Panacea Bottle......150G| |Card of Fire..2,700G| |Striped Ribbon..1,400G| |Life Bottle.........300G| |Card of Earth.2,400G| |Gold Circlet....1,000G| |Anti-Magic Bottle.1,000G| |Francesca.....3,200G| |Omega Shield....1,600G| |Flare Bottle......1,000G| o--------------------o |Claw Gauntlet...1,000G| |Guard Bottle......1,000G| |Lapis Bracelet..1,400G| |Acuity Bottle.....1,000G| |Heavy Boots.....3,000G| |Syrup Bottle......1,000G| o----------------------o |Holy Bottle.........200G| |Dark Bottle.........200G| |Magic Lens...........10G| Sancta Cassius: 300G |Poison Charm......4,000G| |Paralysis Charm...4,000G| o------------------------o o-----------o |> Prucius <| o-------------------o o-------------------o |Ogre Sword*......................1 Osafune, Brass &| | :....................1 White Silver | |Ogre Sword*............1 Masamune, 1 Black Silver &| | :..........1 Brass | |Ray Thrust.........1 Stinger Ring, 1 Black Silver &| | :.......1 Metal Sphere | |Gale Staff............1 Ruby Wand, 1 Metal Sphere &| | :..........1 Black Silver | |Red Shield..........1 Omega Shield & 1 Black Silver| |Armet Helm...............1 Iron Helm & 1 Beast Hide| |Druid Cloak..........1 Mage Cloak & 1 Magical Cloth| |Lapis Bracelet.....1 Iron Bracelet & 1 Black Silver| o---------------------------------------------------o *Is the same weapon, but there are 2 recipes for it.

Now, it's time to hit the stores. Go to >Axios< on the W side of where the scene with that Zelos guy ended. In here, check the cat artifact at the NW corner of the room to have Wonder Chef appear and teach you "Steak". After him, buy: Ogre Sword and Ray Thrust. Now on the other side of town, at >Trupelos< buy: 1 Splint Mail, 1 Elven Protector, 1 Misty Robe, 1 Claw Gauntlet, 3 Lapis Bracelet and the Heavy Boots are optional. You'll be spending over 13,000G at this store. Now return to the center area and head up the main staircase to the N area of town. Here, go E to another area and enter the second mansion. On the second floor, examine the gift on the corner to have Wonder Chef appear once again and teach you "Fruit Cocktail". Return to the main area of the N area, go N and try entering the castle. A scene triggers and after that, go down the stairs and into the Church to the W. Talk to the priest and a scene triggers. Exit the church and another scene triggers. Rodyle? Did he just mention Rodyle? You remember him, don't you? And, plus, here triggers my favorite phrase of the game and Lloyd, of course, says it, "I've lost all confidence as a man". Follow her up the stairs to have the scene continue. Presea joins your party. Go E, go up all the stairs you see and at the end, go W and try entering the red door to trigger a scene. Phew, that was close, well anyway, leave the castle and go in the church. In here, talk to Zelos to have him join you! Before leaving, put Zelos as your Avatar and start talking to all the women of Meltokio. Everyone will give you something special (This will only happen if Zelos has his EX skill Lv2 "Personal"). At the World Map, just head NE to reach Tethe'alla bridge. ________ __________________ / ___ _ \ / sx541 / \ \ / // / ___________________/_________________/ \// / \/ / Area #41 \ / /ales of Symphonia--------------< Tethe'alla Bridge > ~~~/_/~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\_____________________________________/ ~ - My lv.: Lloyd 33, Raine 33, Presea 32, Zelos 32 ~ Genis 33, Colette 31 ~ - Enemies: None ~ o--Weapons/Armor/Items:-------------------------------------------------------o | None | o~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~o There's a scene as you enter.

After him, return outside and go down the SW path, go west in this next area and enter the large building to the N. There's a scene as you enter. In middle of the scene, Colette obtains the title "Ill-fated Girl". After the scene, have a look around the building, talking to all the ladies you encounter, remember, with Zelos as your avatar. Once finished, return outside and to the Market area. Speak to the guy W of the stores (the one between all the junk) to trigger a scene. You'll obtain the Key Crest, so return to the lab, talk to the person standing in front of the door. Go in the second room to the W to trigger a scene. Return to the entrance to trigger a scene. What the? Raine and Genis are gone. Dammit! Oh yes!!! Sheena's back! You'll receive 'Tethe'alla Map'. When you have control, now return to the World Map and go to Tethe'alla Bridge. ________ __________________ / ___ _ \ / sx543 / \ \ / // / ___________________/_________________/ \// / \/ / Area #43 \ / /ales of Symphonia--------------< Tethe'alla Bridge > ~~~/_/~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\_____________________________________/ ~ - My lv.: Lloyd 33, Presea 32, Sheena 32, Zelos 32 ~ Colette 31 ~ - Enemies: Cardinal Knight ~ o--Weapons/Armor/Items:-------------------------------------------------------o | None | o~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~o When you enter, start running towards the entrance and after some time running, a scene triggers and after it, a fight against 3 Cardinal Knights.

She's just so easy. Raine's Photon deals over 1000 dmg. She has an attack similar to your Beast Tech. Even though she has some nasty magic spells, they are very easy to predict. Have Raine focus on using Photon and Colette uses Angel Feathers and Judgment. Zelos must be healing and when not necessary, have him attack. Make full use of the Unison Attacks. You can do a combo of over 50 hits, just like the battle with Windmaster at Asgard. Well, she'll go down in no time. Maybe in less than a minute, like I did, 00'57'83. ------------- After the battle, watch another scene. Colette's back to normal.

At the entrance, there's a scene. Afterwards, follow the path and at the fork, go NW to the end and change the function of the Sorcerer's Ring. Now, before even moving, to the left of the Sorcerer's Ring pedestal, use the Ring to shrink and cross the narrow ledge and enter the mouse hole. In here, get 'EC Gem Lv2' from the bag. Now, cross the spider web near the Sorcerer's Ring pedestal, step on the blue panel, go up the stairs and dispose of the enemy up here to get the Memory Gem. Follow the path and at the fork, go down the stairs and check behind them to get 'Spirit Ring' from the hidden chest. Return up the stairs, go E and a scene triggers. Open the wooden box besides you to get 'EX Gem Lv3' from it. Now go up the two set of stairs and it's time for a puzzle. Go to the N side of this floor to trigger a scene. Now, check the three yellow levers on the W part of the machine to make a trash block. First of all, do you see the two openings at the S end of the floor, well, push down a block on each one. There are another 3 openings on the W, push down another block in the second one. Afterwards, there's a little hole one square W of the trash compactor on the N wall. Shrink and go inside to get 'Great Axe' from the bag. Return outside, step on the blue panel, go down the stairs, all the way down (the three sets, at the bottom) and move E, shrink, pass the path created with the trash blocks and examine the blue wheel to open the door on top of you. Return and enter it. In this room, move N a bit and unlock the memory seal. Afterwards, go W, down the stairs, shrink and hop on the wooden box. Now, examine the red wheel and return. Now, instead of going through the blue door, go to the top floor and enter the red door. You're on top of the save point area. Create a block and push it S. When the block is on the corner, shrink, cross the web, step on the blue panel, pull the block one time, shrink, cross the web again, step on the blue panel, and push it all the way E and drop it down the E side of the walkway. Return to the save point area and go down the first set of stairs you see. Down here, you'll see a blue panel besides the stairs. Behind it there's 'Breastplate' in a hidden chest. Now shrink and move through the NE walkway. At the fork, go W, step on the blue panel, go up the stairs, shrink and go through the iron bars. Step on the blue panel and step on the centre switch. Open cage's door at the E and return to the upper floor. Up here, a little scene triggers, telling you about a new web. Do the same thing as before, but instead of dropping it where you dropped it before, push it N, and then E and drop it on the E side of the walkway. Return to the save point area and push the block on the switch in the middle of the cage. Return once again to the top floor and another mini scene triggers, telling you that another web is there. Well, create another block and from where you dropped the second block, move it N and all the way to the last corner (before the last blue panel). Drop it down and return to the save point area. From the save point's fork, go and follow the E path to the end, up the two set of stairs. You'll see the block waiting for you to move it. Move it SE and drop it down the opening. Now, right in front of the opening, there's a hole on the wall, go in to find 'EX Gem Lv1' in the bag. Return outside and to the save point. From there, go and follow the W path and go down the stairs at the end. Cross the path and turn the yellow wheel at the end. Save your game and go through the NW yellow door. In this room go W at the fork and get '2500 Gald' from the box. Now follow the path and, from the line of blue panels, shrink after them and go in a hole on the E wall, just below the broken bridge and in between the brown pillars. In here, get 'Thunderbolt' from the bag . Now exit the hole and shrink before "waterfalls" and keep going. Again, like at the other side, enter a mouse hole on the W wall that's under the broken bridge and between the brown pillars. In here, get 'Card of Lightning' from the bag and exit the hole. When you touch the blue panel, a scene triggers and a fight begins. Nothing to worry about. Go up the stairs, before checking the box, make a party of: Lloyd, Genis, Raine and Zelos. Now go in to battle. -------------- SUB-BOSS: FAKE -------------- - Name: Fake - Location: Meltokio Sewers - HP: 2,800 - TP: 250 - ATK: ??? - DEF: ??? - XP: 202 - Gald: 860 - Items dropped: All-Divide - Steal: None - Elemental Info.: - AA: None - Weak: None - Strong: All - Strategy: Deactivate all of Zelos' attacks except for his spells. As soon as you enter the battle, give the "All out" order by pressing -> on the D-pad. Put yourself in front of the Fake and start guarding and using Guardian every now and then. Zelos and Genis will start attacking the Fake with magic and keeping a distance from it. Raine's duty here is to support you with her healing arts and using her Photon when she's not healing. In doing so, you'll win the battle in no time. -------------- After the fight, you'll get 'Elixir'. Now exit Meltokio's Sewers. Now go all the way E and at the fork (after the Inn), head N, through the gate and into the door. There's a scene as you enter, and afterwards, go out and at the fork, go E and enter Meltokio's Dark Side (the music changes). Here, talk to the fourth person you come across, and he'll say something about a cute flower-seller. Some people say that it may be Aerith of Final Fantasy VII. But hey, who knows? Anyway, besides him are some stairs, climb them and speak to the dog. Now go to the area where the entrance to the castle is and go E and into the noble area. Enter the second mansion (where you saw Wonder Chef), but before doing so, speak to the dog on the E side of this area. Now enter Zelos' mansion. Watch the scene in here and talk to everyone here if you want. After you're done, talk to the butler and go to bed. After another scene, return to the Elemental Research Laboratory. There's another scene as you enter. After it, you'll receive 'Wing Pack'. Now, return to the entrance of Meltokio's Sewers and, fortunately, you have the Quick jump option, so you don't have to go across all the sewers again. Once at the World map, head to Tethe'alla Bridge. ________ __________________ / ___ _ \ / sx546 / \ \ / // / ___________________/_________________/ \// / \/ / Area #46 \ / /ales of Symphonia--------------< Tethe'alla Bridge > ~~~/_/~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\_____________________________________/ ~ - My lv.: Lloyd 35, Colette 33, Raine 35, Zelos 34 ~ Presea 34, Genis 35, Sheena 34 ~ - Enemies: None ~ o--Weapons/Armor/Items:-------------------------------------------------------o | Kuchinawa's Charm.....(KI) - | o~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~o There's a scene as you enter.

After the controls, and at the world map, head directly NE and disembark at the pier near Tethe'alla Bridge, now simply head for Sybak. ________ __________________ / ___ _ \ / sx547 / \ \ / // / ___________________/_________________/ \// / \/ / Area #47 \ / /ales of Symphonia--------------< Sybak > ~~~/_/~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\_____________________________________/ ~ - My lv.: Lloyd 35, Colette 33, Raine 35, Zelos 34 ~ Presea 34, Genis 35, Sheena 34 ~ - Enemies: None ~ o--Weapons/Armor/Items:-------------------------------------------------------o | None | o~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~o o----------------o o--------------------o |> Student Mart <| |> Student Supplies <| | o---o | oo |Apple Gel.......100G| |Ogre Sword.....3,000G| |Lemon Gel.....1,000G| |Kotetsu........3,300G| |Orange Gel......200G| |Ray Thrust.....3,000G| |Pineapple Gel.1,200G| |Mythril Ring...3,400G| |Melange Gel.....500G| |Aqua Brand.....3,600G| |Panacea Bottle..150G| |Battle Ax......3,600G| |Life Bottle.....300G| |Pointed Hat....1,300G| |Syrup Bottle..1,000G| |Bridal Gloves..1,200G| |Holy Bottle.....200G| o---------------------o |Dark Bottle.....200G| |Magic Lens.......10G| o--------------------o o---------------------o |> Student Supplies <| o------------o o------------o |Kotetsu....................1 Osafune, 1 Brass &| | :..................1 Metal Sphere | |Mythril Ring..........1 Stinger Ring, 1 Brass &| | :........1 Mythril | |Gale Staff........1 Ruby Wand, 1 Metal Sphere &| | :......1 Black Silver | |Aqua Brand*...........1 Hydra Dagger, 1 Brass &| | :.........1 White Silver | |Aqua Brand*.....1 Steel Sword, 1 Black Silver &| | :...1 Metal Sphere | |Pointed Hat.....1 Beret & 1 Magical Cloth | o-----------------------------------------------o *Is the same weapon, but there are 2 recipes for it. o---------------------o o---------------------o |> Sunrise Cafeteria <| |> Sunrise Cafeteria <| | o-----o o-----o | |Pork.......120G| ,_ _, |Snapper....120G| |Beef.......140G| |\ /| |Tuna.......100G| |Chicken....120G| \ / |Cod........110G| |Tomato......60G| These 2 stores are the ladies |Squid......110G| |Bell Pepper.80G| behind the counter in the |Shrimp......60G| |Cucumber....70G| Academy’s Kitchen. |Octopus.....70G| |Cabbage.....60G| |Strawberry..70G| |Lettuce.....80G| |Banana......60G| |Mushroom....60G| |Grapes......70G| |Potato......50G| |Apple.......60G| |Onion.......60G| |Lemon.......60G| |Radish......60G| |Peach.......70G| |Carrot......60G| |Pear........60G| |Egg.........50G| |Melon......100G| |Cheese......60G| |Pineapple...80G| |Milk........50G| |Rice........80G| |Seaweed.....20G| |Barley Rice.60G| |Kelp........40G| |Pasta.......80G| |Tofu........60G| |Panyan......70G| |Konjac......60G| |Bread.......70G| |Miso........60G| |Roll........70G| o---------------o o---------------o Holy mother of god!!! This freaking scene scared the shit out of me as I was writing. Kratos is here, damn, I just love this guy (and I'm not gay!). Zelos addresses him as an Arrogant SOB. Haha! After the scene, speak to the dog N of the Inn. Now go in front of the Laboratory and speak with another dog. Now go see Kate, going through the Secret passage.

Afterwards, go SE and in this next area, at the fork, there's 'Drain Charm' in a chest hidden behind the tree's leaves. Then, a bit N, you'll see a bunch of flowers. Stand on them to charge your Sorcerer's Ring Meter. After it's fully charged, go up the NW path and melt the vines covering the chest. Inside, there's 'Phoenix Rod' inside. The go E and on to the next area. Here, follow the path and at the first fork, go S. At the next fork, melt the SE vines to reveal another chest containing 'Witch's Robe'. Now go SW, melt the W vines and you'll return at the first are (where the bunch of flowers are). Recharge your Sorcerer's Ring and go S on to another area. Melt the vines N of you, proceed and melt the other vine N. Instead of going N, Go E, charge your Sorcerer's Ring and keep going E into another area. Proceed and at the fork, go NW, melt the vines to reveal 'Angel Bracelet'. Return to the fork and go E this time. Recharge your Sorcerer's Ring, melt the vines ahead of you and at the fork, before continuing, the Skull avatar enemy around here has Gaoracchia's Memory Gem. Now, go S, melt the vines and at the next fork, go W. Here, follow the path until you reach another area and a chest covered with vines right next to you. The chest contains 'Pretty Ribbon'. Return 2 areas and at the fork, go E and at the next fork, if you go W, you'll meet with a familiar friend, Sword Dancer #2. But before, go E, melt the vines, proceed into the next area, unlock the memory seal, save your game and proceed to the next area. There's a scene here and then, a Boss Battle! ------------- BOSS: CONVICT ------------- - Name: Convict - Location: Gaoracchia Forest - HP: 12,000 - TP: 320 - ATK: 800 - DEF: 120 - XP: 2250 - Gald: 1500 - Items dropped: Elixir - Steal: None - Elemental Info.: - AA: None - Weak: none - Strong: None - Strategy: He's fairly easy.

As you enter, a scene triggers. When you regain control, go N, across the bridge and NW towards the shop. Speak to the dog, with Colette as your Avatar. Now, on to >Toyama<. First, customize: 1 Shiden, 1 Shuriken and 1 Assault Dagger. Before you forget, buy a Mizuho Potion. Why? You'll see a little later. Buy any upgrades you couldn't customize. Afterwards, go into the house in middle of the lake. A mini scene triggers in here. After that, go in the secret door on Orochi's left and another scene triggers. When everyone exit's Tiga's House, Lloyd obtains the title "Gentle Idealist". Afterwards, you'll know the prisoner's name, Regal. A bit after, he joins the party. Return to Tiga's house and check the wooden Japanese washing station, just in front the entrance to have Wonder Chef teach you "Ramen". Afterwards, talk to the little girl walking around outside to trigger another mini scene. As you try to exit the village, another scene triggers, and Orochi tells you that the knights left the Forest. Now exit Mizuho and enter Gaoracchia Forest. ________ __________________ / ___ _ \ / sx550 / \ \ / // / ___________________/_________________/ \// / \/ / Area #50 \ / /ales of Symphonia--------------< Gaoracchia Forest > ~~~/_/~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\_____________________________________/ ~ - My lv.: Lloyd 37, Regal 36, Raine 36, Zelos 36 ~ Presea 36, Colette 35, Genis 36, Sheena 36 ~ - Enemies: Cardinal Knight, Tropical Worm, Undertaker, Boxer Iris ~ Pumpkin Tree, Ghoul, Phantom, Sword Dancer #2 (OB) ~ o--Weapons/Armor/Items:-------------------------------------------------------o | Yasakani Jewel.....(AC) - | o~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~o As you enter, head NW, save your game and proceed N on to the next area. At the first fork, go SW and you'll meet with Sword Dancer #2. Read the boss strategy before approaching him! ------------------------------ OPTIONAL BOSS: SWORD DANCER #2 ------------------------------ - Name: Sword Dancer #2 - Location: Gaoracchia Forest - HP: 33,333 - TP: 4,444 - ATK: ??? - DEF: ??? - XP: 8500 - Gald: 15,000 - Items dropped: ??? - Steal: ??? - Elemental Info.: - AA: None - Weak: Light - Strong: None - Strategy: Well, first of all, your party must be: Lloyd 37, Genis 36, Raine 36 and Zelos 36 (the levels are mine). First of all, turn all of Genis' spells off, except for Spread and Eruption. With Raine, turn off all Techs, except for Photon, First Aid and Nurse. Believe it or not, Zelos' job during the fight is to Heal you when necessary. Lloyd, put his C-stick shortcuts to Raine's Photon. That's all for the techs. Now, on to the Strat sub-menu. Set the Strat like the following: = Genis - Attack Freely - At Once - Don't Pursue = Raine - Attack Freely - Heal - Don't Pursue = Zelos - Attack Freely - Heal - Skills and Magic (this will prevent having Zelos approaching too much) In terms of items, you should have, at least, 15 Life Bottles, 15 to 20 Pineapple Gels, 10 to 15 Lemon Gels. For Unison Attacks, use Lloyd's Tiger Blade, Raine's Photon, Genis' Raging Mist and Zelos' Lightning. Now when ready, trigger the battle with Sword Dancer #2. Start by using Magic Lens. Be prevented, he uses magic, and a lot of it. Genis' Spread and Eruption helps you keeping him busy. Raine's Photon deals over 1,000 dmg. use Nurse as much as you need. Also, use Unison Attacks as soon as the meter fills, because each Unison Attack deals an insane amount of dmg. (between 4,500 and 5,300 dmg.) The only thing Zelos must do is heal, and use all the items as you need. He's very similar to the first Sword Dancer, with the exception that he uses magic this time. Have Lloyd stick to him as much as possible. Attack when necessary and guard when necessary. After around 5 minutes, he'll go down, hopefully! ------------------------------ After the battle, you'll receive 'Yasakani Jewel'. Now return to the entrance (near Mizuho) and go down the E path and exit to the world map. Now, locating Ozette the first time is kinda hard, so read carefully: After exiting Gaoracchia Forest, cross the bridge SE of you. Once on the other side, go directly S and you'll see a small village hidden among trees. That, in fact, is Ozette. ________ __________________ / ___ _ \ / sx551 / \ \ / // / ___________________/_________________/ \// / \/ / Area #51 \ / /ales of Symphonia--------------< The Quiescent Town, Ozette > ~~~/_/~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\_____________________________________/ ~ - My lv.: Lloyd 39, Genis 38, Raine 38, Zelos 37 ~ Colette 37, Sheena 37, Regal 37 ~ - Enemies: None ~ o--Weapons/Armor/Items:-------------------------------------------------------o | None | o~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~o o---------------o o--------------------o |> Tranquility <| |> Nature's Kitchen <| | o------o | | |Breastplate.....3,400G| |Apple Gel.......100G| |Elven Protector.3,000G| |Lemon Gel.....1,000G| |Silk Cloak......3,200G| |Orange Gel......200G| |Witch's Robe....2,800G| |Pineapple Gel.1,200G| |Cross Helm......2,000G| |Life Bottle.....300G| |Pretty Ribbon...2,000G| |Pork............120G| |Angel Bracelet..1,600G| |Chicken.........120G| |Silk Gloves.....1,600G| |Tomato...........60G| |Drain Charm.....4,000G| |Bell Pepper......80G| o----------------------o |Pasta............80G| |Cabbage..........60G| o---------------o |Lettuce..........80G| |> Tranquility <| |Mushroom.........60G| o----------------o o----------------o |Potato...........50G| |Shiden.............1 Ogre Sword, 1 Black Silver &| |Onion............60G| | :...........1 Metal Sphere | |Carrot...........60G| |Shuriken.........1 Stinger Ring, 1 Black Silver &| |Strawberry.......70G| | :.......1 Metal Sphere | |Lemon............60G| |Gale Staff..........1 Ruby Wand, 1 Metal Sphere &| |Rice.............80G| | :........1 Black Silver | |Pasta............80G| |Aqua Brand*.............1 Hydra Dagger, 1 Brass &| |Bread............70G| | :...........1 White Silver | o--------------------o |Aqua Brand*.......1 Steel Sword, 1 Black Silver &| | :.....1 Metal Sphere | |Assault Dagger...1 Earth Dagger, 1 Black Silver &| Green Meadows: 300G | :.1 Brass | |Pointed Hat.............1 Beret & 1 Magical Cloth| |Silk Gloves....1 Pretty Mittens & 1 Magical Cloth| o-------------------------------------------------o *Is the same weapon, but there are 2 recipes for it. As you enter, there's a scene. Afterwards, go into main area and speak to the dog up here. Then, go into the house to the W, down the little ramp. It's the Inn. Rest if you want and examine the parrot on the N wall to make Wonder Chef appear and teach you "Tenderloin". Now on to the stores. Go to >Tranquility< (the house next to the dog) and buy: 1 Breastplate (you should already have one), 1 Elven Protector, 2 Silk Cloaks, 1 Witch's Robe (you should already have one too), 2 Cross Helm, 2 Pretty Ribbon, and 2 Angel Bracelet. Remember, Regal's Personal Lv2 EX skill, things are cheaper while things you sell get more expensive. Now go up the path, and speak to another dog. Now go directly S of >Tranquility<, down the path and to another area. There's a scene as you enter the area, it's a rather alarming scene, by the way. Afterwards, leave Presea's house and exit Ozette at the S exit. At the World Map, run about 2 steps SE and enter Altessa's House which mixes with the cliffs around it. ________ __________________ / ___ _ \ / sx552 / \ \ / // / ___________________/_________________/ \// / \/ / Area #52 \ / /ales of Symphonia--------------< Altessa's House > ~~~/_/~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\_____________________________________/ ~ - My lv.: Lloyd 39, Genis 38, Raine 38, Zelos 37 ~ Colette 37, Sheena 37, Regal 37 ~ - Enemies: None ~ o--Weapons/Armor/Items:-------------------------------------------------------o | None | o~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~o As you enter, run up and enter the house. There's a scene as you enter and you'll know what to do next. You have to find some Inhibitor Ore. It's on the S continent. So keep reading. Leave Altessa's place, go into Ozette, go on the other side of Ozette and start heading NE and then N and you'll see a small dock. Embark on your EC and start heading directly N. You'll come to a small patch of land with a tower. Go across it and start heading NE now. The dock you're looking for is the lowest tip of the S continent, when you open your map. Once you disembark your EC, start heading N with a bit E and you'll eventually reach Toize Valley Mine. Save before entering. ________ __________________ / ___ _ \ / sx553 / \ \ / // / ___________________/_________________/ \// / \/ / Area #53 \ / /ales of Symphonia--------------< Toize Valley Mine > ~~~/_/~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\_____________________________________/ ~ - My lv.: Lloyd 39, Regal 38, Raine 38, Zelos 38 ~ Colette 37, Sheena 38, Genis 39 ~ - Enemies: Defense System/Orbit x2/Auto Repair Unit/Guard Arm x4 (B) ~ Red Bat, Rock Golem, Basilisk, Red Roper, Roller Snail ~ o--Weapons/Armor/Items:-------------------------------------------------------o | Sage..... 1 - 1 .....EX Gem Lv1 | | Saint Rapier.....(WP) - (WP).....Sand Saber | | Crescent Ax.....(WP) - (WP).....Iron Grieves | | Silk Robe.....(AB) - (AB).....Battlesuit | | Thunder Cape.....(AC) - 1 .....Super Pellets | | EX Gem Lv3..... 1 - (DA).....Evil Eye | | Inhibitor Ore.....(KI) - | o~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~o Walk two steps when you enter and a scene triggers.

That's a lot of enemies, but, luckily, they're all weak. You must have Shiden equipped to Lloyd. So let's take out the Orbits first. They only have 3,000 HP and are weak to Lightning. Each hit to them causes over 250 dmg. so, on to them. After those Orbits, take out the Auto Repair Unit as fast as possible, because it'll keep healing the Defense System. After all of them are gone, take out the Defense System itself. The Boss is not hard if you have Shiden equipped. And, after the battle with Sword Dancer #2, this should just be a breeze, right? ----------------------------------------------------------- After the battle, and when you have control, return to the room where the fight took place and go to the NE side of the room to get 'Sage' from the chest. Now, there's a hidden chest where the mining cars are. It contains 'EX Gem Lv1'. Now go to the other room and go E at the fork. You'll see a moving platform. Hop on to it and you'll see a picture of an arrow pointing E at the N. What you have to do is hit it with the Sorcerer's Ring to have the arrow point N. Once off the moving platform, dispose of the dog-like enemy to receive the Memory Gem for this dungeon. Now check the gate to the N for a scene. Now go down the elevator and go E. At the end, change the function of your Sorcerer's Ring. Now go W, up the wooden ramp, and get 'Saint Rapier' from the chest. Keep going NW and get 'Sand Saber' from the chest. Return down the wooden ramp and you'll see several mining carts at your NE. At the end there's 'Crescent Ax' in a hidden chest. Now return to the upper level and blow up the rock to your W. Return down and return your Sorcerer's Ring to normal. Return to the upper level, go onto the moving platform and hit the arrow one more time. Return to the previous level and change the function of the Sorcerer's Ring one more time. Go across the moving platform and go in the door. Blow up the boulder here, blocking the path, go N and at the first fork, go N and W into the opening to find 'Iron Grieves' in a chest. Return and blow the boulder N of you and at the fork, go N, down the wooden ramp and examine the machine on top of the wooden platform. Return up the ramp, go N, blow the boulder and at the fork, go S and blow the boulder. Now, return to the previous fork, go E, blow the boulder and go down the ramp before the boulder. You'll see a small little fellow walking around here. Talk to him (I think you'll notice that he's a jerk). He'll ask you for a potion. You can give him any potion you have, Palma Potion, Mizuho Potion. Any potion you have. After he goes, check the chest S of you to get 'Silk Robe'. Return up the ramp, go S and unlock the memory seal. Blow the boulder SE of the Memory Circle and at the fork, go S and at the other fork, go W and down the ramp. Examine the machine on top of the wooden platform and get 'Battlesuit' from the chest to the E. Go up the ramp and go E to the previous fork. Go N and E at the next fork. After the scene, keep going and another scene triggers. The spinning thing you see is called Naploosa Bacura. What you have to do is to lure it a bit more of half way before the boulder activation switch. Now run up to the switch, run backwards into the opening and see Naploosa crumble in millions of pieces. Remember to equip Lloyd's Personal Lv2 EX skill to run faster. Now push the switch in the wall to deactivate the trap. Now return, go down the elevator, go E and get 'Thunder Cape' from the chest. Now go to where the Naploosa thing was destroyed and get 'Super Pellets' from the chest. Now examine the Naploosa Bacura to obtain 'Evil Eye'. Return to the upper level and go down the stairs Naploosa was guarding. Here, go E, and go down the stairs instead of crossing the bridge. At the end, get 'EX Gem Lv3' from the chest. Return, cross the bridge and watch a scene. Blow up the E crates to find a chest with 'Inhibitor Ore' inside. Another scene triggers and afterwards, leave the mine manually. There's a scene as you exit. Now, exit Toize Valley Mine and head to Ozette. ________ __________________ / ___ _ \ / sx554 / \ \ / // / ___________________/_________________/ \// / \/ / Area #54 \ / /ales of Symphonia--------------< Ozette > ~~~/_/~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\_____________________________________/ ~ - My lv.: Lloyd 41, Sheena 39, Raine 40, Zelos 40 ~ Regal 39, Colette 39, Genis 40 ~ - Enemies: Commander Knight, Cardinal Knight ~ o--Weapons/Armor/Items:-------------------------------------------------------o | None | o~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~o o---------------o o--------------------o |> Tranquility <| |> Nature's Kitchen <| | o------o | | |Breastplate.....3,400G| |Apple Gel.......100G| |Elven Protector.3,000G| |Lemon Gel.....1,000G| |Silk Cloak......3,200G| |Orange Gel......200G| |Witch's Robe....2,800G| |Pineapple Gel.1,200G| |Cross Helm......2,000G| |Life Bottle.....300G| |Pretty Ribbon...2,000G| |Pork............120G| |Angel Bracelet..1,600G| |Chicken.........120G| |Silk Gloves.....1,600G| |Tomato...........60G| |Drain Charm.....4,000G| |Bell Pepper......80G| o----------------------o |Pasta............80G| |Cabbage..........60G| o---------------o |Lettuce..........80G| |> Tranquility <| |Mushroom.........60G| o----------------o o----------------o |Potato...........50G| |Shiden.............1 Ogre Sword, 1 Black Silver &| |Onion............60G| | :...........1 Metal Sphere | |Carrot...........60G| |Shuriken.........1 Stinger Ring, 1 Black Silver &| |Strawberry.......70G| | :.......1 Metal Sphere | |Lemon............60G| |Gale Staff..........1 Ruby Wand, 1 Metal Sphere &| |Rice.............80G| | :........1 Black Silver | |Pasta............80G| |Aqua Brand*.............1 Hydra Dagger, 1 Brass &| |Bread............70G| | :...........1 White Silver | o--------------------o |Aqua Brand*.......1 Steel Sword, 1 Black Silver &| | :.....1 Metal Sphere | |Assault Dagger...1 Earth Dagger, 1 Black Silver &| Green Meadows: 300G | :.1 Brass | |Pointed Hat.............1 Beret & 1 Magical Cloth| |Silk Gloves....1 Pretty Mittens & 1 Magical Cloth| o-------------------------------------------------o *Is the same weapon, but there are 2 recipes for it.

Once you embark your EC, move directly N and disembark at the dock directly N, save and enter Tower of Lightning. ________ __________________ / ___ _ \ / sx556 / \ \ / // / ___________________/_________________/ \// / \/ / Area #56 \ / /ales of Symphonia--------------< Temple of Lightning > ~~~/_/~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\_____________________________________/ ~ - My lv.: Lloyd 41, Presea 38, Raine 40, Zelos 40 ~ Regal 40, Genis 40, Sheena 40 ~ - Enemies: Lightning Bird, Gold Slime, Lamia, Thunder Sword, Gold Skeleton ~ Volt (B) ~ o--Weapons/Armor/Items:-------------------------------------------------------o | Silver Guard.....(AB) - 2 .....EX Gem Lv3 | | Duel Helm.....(AH) - (WP).....Thunder Scepter | | Spirit Bottle..... 1 - (WP).....Shining Star | | Power Grieves.....(WP) - (KI).....Corrine's Bell | | Sardonyx.....(AC) - 1 .....EX Gem Lv2 | | Battle Cloak.....(AB) - | o~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~o There's a scene as you enter. Afterwards, walk N and watch out for those white poles, as they free electricity. At the fork, go E, up the stairs and examine the pedestal. Return to the fork and go up the central path, then check the pedestal. Now return to the first pedestal and examine it again. Now, check the W pedestal (the lower one) and return to the middle path and step on the white circle before the pedestal. Return to the lower pedestal and change the function of the Sorcerer's Ring. This time you shoot blue electricity. Return to the fork, and go all the way E. You'll notice 2 blue blocks N of you and 2 red blocks S of you. With the blue electricity, you can only destroy the blue blocks, so do so. Behind them there's 'Silver Guard' in a chest. Now return to the fork and go up the central path and into the door to the next area. Now go up either the E stairs or the W stairs to the top and blow up the blue block. Now go down the bottom and blow the blue block at the N wall. Go in. Follow the W path, going up the stairs and entering the door at the end. Follow with caution the darkened path and outside, go S. Follow the path and at the end, destroy the blue block hanging there. you'll see that a chest drops. Now examine the lightning rod and the floor crumbles under your feet. Grab 'EX Gem Lv3' from the chest and proceed NW, doing the same thing you did before. You'll obtain 'Duel Helm' by doing so, but before doing it one more time, follow the path W behind the chest and break the blue block to make another chest fall (we'll get that in a minute). Now return to the chest and go E to make another chest drop. Examine the pedestal and then get 'Thunder Scepter'. Now examine the lightning rod and proceed SE through the door. Another darkened room. Well, go up the first stairs you see and down the next ones. There should be a set of stairs to your W. Instead of going up them, go E and at the end of the walkway, there's 'Spirit Bottle' in a chest. Now follow the path until you exit. Here, go up the first stairs, and up the second ones. Up here, you'll see a hawk-type enemy flying around. Dispose of it to obtain the memory gem of the dungeon. Return to the darkened area and drop off. Do you remember this room? I bet you do. Go N to the next room, unlock the memory seal, save your game and go down to the watery area. Here, go up the E stairs and change the function of the Sorcerer's Ring. This time, you can destroy the yellow blocks. Return to the save point and go through the S door. Here, go up the E stairs and into the door. Follow the path carefully, exit the darkened area and destroy the yellow block N of you. You will drop a lightning rod. Return one room and go up the stairs to your N. Destroy another yellow block (under a red block) and go down the W stairs. Destroy 2 more yellow blocks. Don't go in yet, but instead, return to the lower floor and go in the S door. Go down the middle path and at the fork, go W. Destroy 2 more yellow blocks S of you and get 'Shining Star' from the chest below. Return to the previous room and go through the N door. Save your game and go E. Examine the big machine and then go W, up the stairs and get 'EX Gem Lv2' from the chest you dropped earlier; now go in the door. You'll be in the darkened area again. Cross this area carefully and once you exit, cross the bridge N of you to the E, go down the stairs and into the door. Another darkened area. Cross it carefully and when you exit, follow the path and deactivate the machine. Return to the darkened area, cross it and when you exit, go up the stairs and examine the machine to the N. Now go to the top of all the set of stairs. Now destroy the 2 W most yellow block and examine the machine and select the "Start" option. The lights will go up the second pillar from left to right, dropping a chest, which we'll get later. Now select the "Reset" option and then return to the top of all those stairs and destroy the 2 W most yellow blocks and go down three set of stairs and destroy the other 2 yellow blocks. Now go down the stairs and examine the machine again and select the "Start" option. After the mini scene, go S a bit and notice that the bridge has collapsed. Run down the bridge and go up the stairs N of you to get 'Battle Cloak' from the chest that fell from before. Now go down the stairs to the bottom and enter the S door. Run down the walkway and change the function of the Sorcerer's Ring one more time. Now you have the power to destroy red blocks. Return now to the E darkened room, fall down on purpose, go up the stairs to the W and enter the door where the yellow blocks where. At the end, there are 2 red blocks. Destroy them to get 'Power Grieves' from the chest. Now return to the first room of the dungeon. Go E at the fork and there are 2 red blocks S of you. Destroy them and get 'EX Gem Lv3' from the chest behind them. Return now to the unlocked save point. Save your game and return to the previous room, go up the stairs to the top and destroy the red block, examine the lightning rod for a scene and then a Boss Battle! ---------- BOSS: VOLT ---------- - Name: Volt - Location: Temple of Lightning - HP: 24,000 - TP: 240 - ATK: 950 - DEF: 180 - XP: 3,580 - Gald: 2,800 - Items dropped: Emerald - Steal: None - Elemental Info.: - AA: Lightning - Weak: - Strong: Lightning - Strategy: Ok, I recommend a party of Lloyd, Sheena, Raine and Genis. Turn off all of Genis' Spells, except for Spread, or better yet, Tidal Wave. Give some Thunder Capes to your characters. A lot of people (like my friends) say that Volt is too hard. But they're wrong. Why, you ask? While you and Sheena are focused attacking physically, Genis will be at a safe distance and be casting Spread all the battle. Raine will be healing all the battle, even if you don't even order her to. When you see that you've taken a lot of dmg. and same goes to Sheena, retreat (In your case) and use a Lemon Gel. Also, never stop looking to the bottom of the screen and checking your HP and TP. ---------- After the battle, watch the scene and you'll receive 'Corrine's Bell', 'Sardonyx' and Sheena learns "T. Seal: Lightning" and "Summon: Lightning". Also, she obtains the title "Summoner". Exit and before doing so, Orochi appears, telling you the location of the Rheairds. Afterwards, exit the Temple and save your game. Now, from the dock, head S like for 3 seconds. 10 more seconds E and you'll be surrounded by small mountains and a big white mass of land to your E. Now put your small version of the map and you'll see a small yellow dot SE of your current position in between all the mountains. Go there, disembark, save your game and enter Tethe'alla Base. ________ __________________ / ___ _ \ / sx557 / \ \ / // / ___________________/_________________/ \// / \/ / Area #57 \ / /ales of Symphonia--------------< Tethe'alla Base > ~~~/_/~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\_____________________________________/ ~ - My lv.: Lloyd 42, Genis 42, Raine 42, Zelos 41 ~ Sheena 41, Regal 41, Presea 39 ~ - Enemies: Foot Soldier, Evil Warrior, Raybit, Yuan/Botta (B) ~ o--Weapons/Armor/Items:-------------------------------------------------------o | EX Gem Lv2..... 1 - (WP).....Card of Ice | | EX Gem Lv3..... 2 - (AH).....Silver Circlet | | Dragon Tooth.....(WP) - (WP).....Lightning Sword | | Silver Mail.....(AB) - 1 .....Lavender | | Beam Shield.....(AA) - (WP).....Tomahawk Lance | | Aqua Cape.....(AC) - | o~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~o o-------------o |> Refresher <| | o-----o |Apple Gel......100G| |Lemon Gel.....1000G| |Orange Gel.....200G| |Pineapple.....1200G| |Melange Gel....500G| |Miracle Gel...3000G| |Panacea Bottle.150G| |Life Bottle....300G| |Magic Lens......10G| o-------------------o There's a scene as you enter, and, hey, those guys from Mizuho are awesome, don't you think? After the scene, talk to Orochi to have him heal you. There's a Refresher at the SW corner if you need to use it. Now change the function of the Sorcerer's Ring, save and exit this room, and there are 4 exits of this room. Go through the W one and in here, you'll see a blue block, pull it S (do not push) 1 time and one time W. Now go in the first door to the W and get 'EX Gem Lv2' from the lone chest in here. Go in the next door to get 'Card of Ice' from another lone chest. Return outside and push it E 2 times, pull it E 1 more time, and N 3 times. Proceed through the N door and at the fork, go W and in the door. Dispose of the enemy in here to obtain the Pass code: "THE LIFE OF" Afterwards, check the chest to obtain 'EX Gem Lv3'. Now exit this room and at the fork, go N and into the door. The Raybit-type enemy here up the first set of stairs has the Memory Gem for the Base. Now return to the big room with the four exits. Now go through the E door and you have to do the same, pull the blue block S 1 time and push it E 1 time. Enter the door at the end, dispose of the enemy and you'll receive the Pass code: "MANA IS" Now push the blue block W 6 times, pull it W 1 more time and push it N 2 times. Proceed to the door at the end. In here, get 'Silver Circlet' from the chest. Now move the block W, block the beam, and start making your way NW and enter the door. Same thing in here, move the blue block on the W beam's way and proceed through the door. Here, dispose of the purple enemy walking to the N of you to obtain the Pass code: "THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD" Now go up the stairs to the N and use your Sorcerer's Ring on the blue pillar N of you and examine the screen that turned on to operate the lift. Return to the room with the four exits and go W. Proceed N all the way until you're in the room where you found the memory gem. At the top, pull the block on the lift W 7 times and S 2 times. Afterwards, return to this room and get 'Dragon Tooth' and 'Lightning Sword' from the chests. Return to the previous room and proceed N. In here, unlock the memory seal and save your game. Go up the NE stairs and get 'Silver Mail' from the chest. Return down and the 2 grey blocks that are sitting here, move 1 of them in the opening S of the chest on top of the pillar (on the W side). The second one move next to the first one (E of it). Now go up half of the S stairs, use the "walkway" made of the blocks and get 'Aqua Cape' from the hidden chest. Now exit the room and enter to reset them; now move them to the NW corner of this floor to make a walkway. Now go up the S stairs and then the staircase to the bottom. Cross the walkway you just did and get 'Lavender' from the chest. Now, use your Sorcerer's Ring on the second grey block from left to right to activate the blue pillar S of the chest. Now go to the bottom floor, move one of the grey bocks on the NE corner of the blue square on the floor (besides the screen) and activate the lift (activate it from the NW corner of the blue square). Now move the block N 1 time and return down. Move to the top floor, go E and down the stairs. Now pull the grey block all the way E and drop it down the opening. Step on it and use your Sorcerer's Ring to activate the blue pillar. Return to the bottom floor, and use the lift you just activated and ride it to the top floor. From here, go W, follow the path to the end and get 'Beam Shield' from the chest. Return and use the Sorcerer's Ring on the blue pillar. Ride the lift you just activated down and drop the grey block in front of the chest. Approach it and get 'EX Gem Lv3' from inside it. Now exit the room from whence you came in to reset the block's location. Now move both grey blocks on the S part of the SE blue square and ride it to the top. Now, the first one move it W 1 time and N until you drop it. Get the chest containing 'Tomahawk Lance'. The other block move it 2 squares E of the first one. Return to the bottom floor, heal and save the game. Return to the top floor, go to the top and input the Pass codes. Enter the door, watch the scene and prepare for a Boss Battle! ---------------- BOSS: YUAN/BOTTA ---------------- a) Yuan - Location: Tethe'alla Base - HP: 16,000 - TP: 652 - ATK: 900 - DEF: 215 - XP: 4,890 - Gald: 3,150 - Items dropped: EX Gem Lv4 - Steal: None - Elemental Info.: - AA: None - Weak: None - Strong: Lightning b) Botta - Location: Tethe'alla Base - HP: 12,000 - TP: 580 - ATK: 780 - DEF: 205 - XP: 1,680 - Gald: 2,800 - Items dropped: None - Steal: None - Elemental Info.: - AA: None - Weak: None - Strong: Earth - Strategy: First of all, this battle is hard. Focus your attacks on Botta first, since he's "weaker". He has some nasty Earth spells, but they almost never target you. Keep attacking, blocking when needed. After he's gone, time to take out Yuan. Watch out for his Indignation Spell, as it can instantly kill a party member. When you see the name at the top, just do anything to get out of the circle. They both have high Attack Power, but with Raine's Nurse, or better yet, Healing Circle, you'll do fine. ---------------- After the battle, watch the scene and you'll finally have control of the Rheairds. The controls prompt and are the following: - Control Stick: tilt <- or -> to turn and tilt ^ and v to control altitude. - A Button: press to move forward. - B Button: board the Rheairds and disembark the Rheairds on ground. - C-stick: tilt ^ or v to move forward or backward, tilt <- or -> to strafe left or right. - L and R Buttons: rotate the camera. Now, enter the main menu, go to Synopsis submenu and check the "Sinful Chosen" title. You'll see your next location in the map with a white cross. Rest at an Inn, anyone, save your game near your destination point and enter The Nest of Flying Dragons. ________ __________________ / ___ _ \ / sx558 / \ \ / // / ___________________/_________________/ \// / \/ / Area #58 \ / /ales of Symphonia--------------< The Nest of Flying Dragons > ~~~/_/~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\_____________________________________/ ~ - My lv.: Lloyd 44, Presea 41, Raine 44, Zelos 43 ~ Genis 43, Regal 43, Sheena 43 ~ - Enemies: Winged Dragon/Baby Dragon x2 (B) ~ o--Weapons/Armor/Items:-------------------------------------------------------o | None | o~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~o There's a scene as you enter, and afterwards, a Boss Battle! ---------------------------------- BOSS: WINGED DRAGON/BABY DRAGON X2 ---------------------------------- a) Winged Dragon - Location: The Nest of Flying Dragons - HP: 18,000 - TP: 400 - ATK: 1,400 - DEF: 86 - XP: 2,450 - Gald: 1,200 - Items dropped: Venom, Flare Cape - Steal: None - Elemental Info.: - AA: None - Weak: None - Strong: None b) Baby Dragon x2 - Location: The Nest of Flying Dragons - HP: 12,000 - TP: 800 - ATK: 1,030 - DEF: 68 - XP: 1,250 - Gald: 500 - Items dropped: None - Steal: None - Elemental Info.: - AA: None - Weak: None - Strong: None - Strategy: This battle is hard. Start off by disposing of the 2 Baby Dragons first. Each of them have 12,000 HP. That's a lot. They, alone, are not that difficult, the real problem is Winged Dragon. Its Ground Dasher Spell is devastating for the characters in the area. Heal and revive as necessary. When both Baby Dragons are gone, its time to take out big Mama. The best tech to take her out is any Tempest, Psi Tempest, or Omega Tempest. Take your time and soon enough, you'll defeat them. ---------------------------------- After the battle, watch another scene and finally Colette rejoins the party. From where you start, head NE and enter Temple of Earth. ________ __________________ / ___ _ \ / sx559 / \ \ / // / ___________________/_________________/ \// / \/ / Area #59 \ / /ales of Symphonia--------------< Temple of Earth > ~~~/_/~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\_____________________________________/ ~ - My lv.: Lloyd 45, Presea 42, Raine 45, Zelos 44 ~ Colette 43, Regal 44, Genis 45, Sheena 44 ~ - Enemies: Giant Snail, Earth Elemental, Clay Golem, Neviros, Dragon ~ Cave Worm, Dragon, Gnome (B) ~ o--Weapons/Armor/Items:-------------------------------------------------------o | Ghost Shell.....(WP) - (WP).....Ancient Rod | | Bardiche.....(WP) - 1 .....EX Gem Lv3 | | EX Gem Lv2..... 1 - (AC).....Ruby | | Bellebane..... 1 - 1 .....EX Gem Lv1 | | Mythril Bracelet.....(AA) - (AB).....Mythril Guard | | Mythril Circlet.....(AH) - | o~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~o As you enter, change the function of the Sorcerer's Ring. Now proceed N and use the Sorcerer's Ring right in front of the four pillars. Now, keep going N and talk to the little Gnomelette on the bridge. After the scene, cross the bridge and at the fork, go SE and follow the path all the way to the end and get 'Mythril Circlet' from the lone chest. Now return to the fork and go NE and enter the next area of the Temple. Cross the wooden bridge, go up the path to get 'Bellebane' from the chest behind the enemy. Now talk to the Gnomelette down the path and another scene triggers. Dammit! Well, what else can we do? Exit Temple of Earth and go to Altessa's Place. Enter the house and talk to Tabatha to learn how to make Curry. Wonder Chef female version? Whatever, return to Temple of Earth and give that Gnomelette some Curry, but change first the function of the Sorcerer's Ring before proceeding. After the scene, talk to another Gnomelette behind the one that just moved. He'll jump down and you'll have to follow him. Do you see the bridge behind it is about to fall? Stand in the middle and use the Ring. Use it one more time and get the chest to the W to get 'Ghost Shell' from it. Now fall down the E most bridge and get 'Ancient Rod' from the chest to the E. Now use the Ring on the left part of the E bridge (left next to the chest). Now get 'Bardiche' from the W chest. Use the ring on the bridge here and then on the W most one. At the bottom, there's a Dragon-type enemy. Fight it if you want to receive 10,000 Gald and about 730 XP. Not bad! Now talk to the Gnomelette and return to the curry area. Now use the ring on the first panel bridge (E most) and get 'EX Gem Lv3' from the chest. Now keep going down until you're at the bottom. Same thing, return to the curry area and do the following. Stand on the W most (last bridge panel) and use the Ring. Drop down once more time and get 'EX Gem Lv2' from the chest. Now droop down and get 'EX Gem Lv1' from the chest right next to you. Now fall until you're at the bottom. Return to the top floor and talk to Gnomelette 3. A minigame starts. You have to protect Gnomelette from the enemies. Stay as close to him as possible, and then engage the enemy. If you have Sheena's personal EX skill Lv2, change it to any other one to make this minigame easier. Then just wait until Gnomelette enters the door for you to enter as well. Proceed further in and talk to Gnomelette for another scene and another minigame. You have to do an earthquake at the same time as him. After the scene and the minigame, go S, ignoring the save point for now. Get 'Mythril Bracelet' from a chest along the way. Continue and enter the door. In this next room, at the fork, go N and use the Sorcerer's Ring to open a path. Now go S, use the Sorcerer's Ring next to the pillar with a box on top and get 'Mythril Guard' from it. Return now to the save point, restore HP and TP, save the game and proceed further in to trigger a scene and a Boss Battle! ----------- BOSS: GNOME ----------- - Name: Gnome - Location: Temple of Earth - HP: 28,000 - TP: 682 - ATK: 1,100 - DEF: 255 - XP: 5,890 - Gald: 4,280 - Items dropped: Holy Symbol - Steal: None - Elemental Info.: - AA: None - Weak: None - Strong: Earth - Strategy: Well, he's like other summon spirits. Use Unison Attacks as soon as the bar fills. It is easy to combo him, since he's way to big. Well, he has some nasty spells, like Ground Dasher. Is you see him cast the spell, try running and jumping to try to avoid it. Another one, but less dangerous is Stalagmite, and a Body Slam, which you should recover by pressing X Button in mid-air. But, other than that, he's just like Efreet. ----------- Watch the scene after the battle, where Sylph appears and the mana flow will be severed. But only if you have Sylph. Afterwards, Sheena learns "T. Seal: Earth" and "Summon: Earth" techs and you'll receive 'Ruby'. Exit the Temple of Earth and time to head to Flanoir. Flanoir is on the N tip of the big white continent at the NE corner of the map. ________ __________________ / ___ _ \ / sx560 / \ \ / // / ___________________/_________________/ \// / \/ / Area #60 \ / /ales of Symphonia--------------< The Snowy City, Flanoir > ~~~/_/~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\_____________________________________/ ~ - My lv.: Lloyd 48, Presea 44, Raine 47, Zelos 46 ~ Sheena 46, Regal 46, Genis 47, Colette 45 ~ - Enemies: None ~ o--Weapons/Armor/Items:-------------------------------------------------------o | Penguinist Gloves.....(AA) - (KI).....Nebilim's Key | | Nebilim.....(DA) - | o~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~o o-------------o o------------------o o--------------o |> Hailstorm <| |> Winter Harvest <| |> Snow White <| | o--------o | o--o | o-------o |Dragon Tooth....4,800G| |Flanoir Potion.1,000G| |Poison Charm....4,000G| |Shining Star....3,600G| |Juicy Meat.......200G| |Drain Charm.....4,000G| |Thunder Scepter.3,200G| |Beef Strips.......80G| |Stone Charm.....4,000G| |Card of Ice.....4,300G| |Mushroom..........60G| |Paralysis Charm.4,000G| |Lightning Sword.4,600G| |Potato............50G| |Talisman........8,000G| |Tomahawk Lance..5,000G| |Onion.............60G| |Stun Bracelet...4,000G| |Power Grieves...4,600G| |Carrot............60G| |Heal Bracelet...4,000G| |Silver Mail.....4,200G| |Rice..............80G| |Spirit Bangle...4,000G| |Silver Guard....4,000G| |Pasta.............80G| |Black Onyx.....25,000G| |Elder Cloak.....3,700G| |Bread.............70G| |Moonstone......25,000G| |Battle Cloak....3,900G| |White Satay......200G| o----------------------o |Ancient Robe....4,000G| |Red Satay........200G| |Duel Helm.......3,400G| |Black Satay......200G| |Silver Circlet..2,000G| o---------------------o Olive Village: 500G |Beam Shield.....2,500G| o----------------------o o---------------------o |Item Name Grade| |---------------------| |Mythril............12| |Metal Sphere.......12| |Black Silver.......10| |Brass..............10| |Mermaid's Tear.....15| |Mystic Herb........15| |Magical Cloth......10| |White Silver.......10| |Beast Fang..........5| |Beast Hide..........8| o---------------------o Before entering Flanoir, collect 3 Penguinist Quills from the enemy of the same name.

In here, buy: 1 Silver Mail, 1 Elder Cloak, 1 Ancient Robe and 1 Duel Helm. After the shopping, go E and go up the stairs to the N and enter the house. Talk to the old man standing in front of the chimney and give him the 3 Penguinist Quills you obtained before entering. He'll make you 'Penguinist Gloves'. Now buy from >Snow White< whatever you need. I recommend buying Raine a Moonstone. To Zelos one Moonstone and one Black Onyx. To Presea a Black Onyx and to Lloyd, a Moonstone. Well, that was a lot of money. Exit the building and go up the stairs to your E. Enter the church and examine the NW corner in here (a brown pot on a green pillow) to have Wonder Chef appear and teach you how to make "Quiche". Exit the church, go down 2 set of stairs and exit this area to the E. Speak to the dog here and follow the path until you return to the entrance area. A scene triggers when you walk in front of the merchant dressed in black. He wants the Celsius' Tear, and we need the Penguinist Gloves we just got to do that. Move now outside Flanoir's Inn. Talk to the guy between the tree and the stairs in front of the Inn to trigger a scene. Afterwards, you'll receive 'Nebilim's Key' and 'Nebilim'. Now exit Flanoir.

Follow the path and get 'Ice Coffin' and 'Mythril Gauntlet' from the chests along the way. At the fork, keep going up, get 'Mythril Armor' from the chest at the top and exit the cave. Out here, go S, and freeze the drops from the icicles to create a "bridge". Keep going S and enter the cave. In here, get 'EX Gem Lv2' from the chest and get 'Celsius' Tear' laying there. Return to the fork, and this time go E and across the crystal bridge. Follow the path and at the fork, go S, freeze another drop and move it W to form another bridge.

You should equip Card of Fire on Sheena, 'cus at this part of the game, the Card of Ice was equipped on Sheena. Anyway, deactivate all of Genis' spells, except for Raging Mist and Eruption. Give the All Out order and have the battle begin. Start out by taking Fenrir out, because he's a pain in the ass. Genis' Raging Mist will do a very nice job in this battle. Raine, like with every Boss, must be the full-time healer. Sheena will be you attack supporter. When the screen starts to darken out, and you're attacking Celsius, or are near her, unleash a Unison Attack to negate one of her most annoying attacks. She alone isn't that difficult. She also has a Beast-type attack, making her even more annoying.

You be in a room with a blue orb N of you. Examine it to change the function of the Sorcerer's Ring. Afterwards, use the elevator in the middle. A scene triggers at the top and when you have control, start moving W and deactivating the yellow switches. There are 3 chests hidden in the corners. Their containing is: 'Vajra', 'Holy Staff' and 'Stone Charm'. After the scene, enter the elevator room again and use it to go up. Use the Sorcerer's Ring at the end of the path to summon a floating platform. While you're on it, press X to change the direction if the platform. You need to get to the top, so, well I can't write or describe this part, since you can't pause the game or anything while on the platform. So good luck and see you at the top! Enter the door at the top and then the other door you come across. Move E in this area and you'll see a white warp portal. Use the Sorcerer's Ring on it to turn it red. Run through it and get 'EX Gem Lv2' from the chest to the W. Return through the red portal and this time change the white portal green instead of red. Get 'Saffron' from the chest and return to the white portal. This time turn it blue and the next white portal turn it red. Unlock "lock 2" at your E and return to the second white portal. Turn it blue and it'll take you to another white portal. Turn it red and get 'EX Gem Lv1' from the chest. Return one portal and turn it green this time. Go W, ignoring the stairs and get 'Holy Cloak' from the chest. Now go up the stairs and at the top, change the white portal red. Get 'Minazuki' and 'EX Gem Lv4' from under the stairs to your E. Return through the red portal and the white portal turn it green this time. Get 'EX Gem Lv3' from the chest under the stairs. Now cross the stairs and unlock "lock 1". Return through the green portal and turn the white portal blue. Get 'EX Gem Lv2' from the chest. Return and turn the portal red one more time. Go up the stairs and the white portal there, turn it blue. Go W, ignoring the stairs and get 'Mythril Ax' from the chest. Return and go up the stairs. There's another white portal sitting here waiting for you, but first, go up all the set of stairs and unlock "lock 3". Now return to the white portal and turn it red and get 'EX Gem Lv3' from the chest. Return to the white portal and turn it blue this time to get 'Mythril Grieves' and 'Revive Ring'. There's also a green portal up a few sets of stairs and a white portal at the top. So, turn it red and enter the last room of the Ranch. Heal up HP and TP, save your game and enter the door. Use the elevator to go up, and exit the room. There's a scene as you enter and time to fight Rodyle. ------------ BOSS: RODYLE ------------ - Name: Rodyle - Location: Remote Island Human Ranch - HP: 35,000 - TP: 500 - ATK: 1,350 - DEF: 210 - XP: 6,240 - Gald: 5,800 - Items dropped: None - Steal: None - Elemental Info.: - AA: None - Weak: None - Strong: Earth - Strategy: This enemy has a very high Attack. He's not that hard, even for his high HP. He's very, very slow, allowing you to combo him to your hearts content. If you have Raine and Zelos in the fight, and also Regal, the battle will be much more easier, since the three of them can heal. He can be very annoying sending you to the air, but correct yourself in mid-air and continue with the fighting. ------------- After the battle, the scene continues. A very sad scene triggers here, poor Botta. After some time, you'll have to fight 3 Baby Dragons, which shouldn't be hard. The scene continues after the fight and you'll be taken automatically to Palmacosta. ________ __________________ / ___ _ \ / sx568 / \ \ / // / ___________________/_________________/ \// / \/ / Area #68 \ / /ales of Symphonia--------------< Palmacosta > ~~~/_/~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\_____________________________________/ ~ - My lv.: Lloyd 51, Raine 51, Regal 50, Zelos 50 ~ Genis 50, Colette 49, Presea 48, Sheena 50 ~ - Enemies: None ~ o--Weapons/Armor/Items:-------------------------------------------------------o | None | o~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~o o--------------o o----------o o-------------o |> Seven Seas <| |> Anchors | |> High Tide <| | o--o | Aweigh <| | o----o |Pork.........120G| | o--------o |Chain Mail....960G| |Beef.........140G| |Panacea Bottle.150G| |Fine Guard....900G| |Chicken......120G| |Life Bottle....300G| |White Cloak...800G| |Snapper......120G| |Holy Bottle....200G| |Feather Robe..920G| |Tuna.........100G| |Dark Bottle....200G| |Leather Helm..500G| |Cod..........110G| |Magic Lens......10G| |Circlet.......160G| |Squid........110G| o-------------------o |Bracelet......400G| |Shrimp........60G| |Leather Boots.600G| |Octopus.......70G| o-----------o o------------------o |Onion.........60G| |> Tsunami <| |Rice..........80G| | o-------o |Barley Rice...60G| |Rapier.......1,300G| |Pasta.........80G| |Duel Ring....1,140G| |Panyan........70G| |Duel Star....1,180G| |Bread.........70G| |Battle Staff.1,150G| |Roll..........70G| |Steel Sword..1,380G| |White Satay..200G| o-------------------oo---------------o |Red Satay....200G| |> Ultramarine <| |Egg...........50G| o--------------o o--------------o |Cheese........60G| |Masamune.............1 Rapier, 1 White Silver| |Milk..........50G| |Slicer Ring.....1 Flying Disk, 1 Black Silver| o-----------------o |Gem Rod..........1 Battle Staff, 1 Beast Hide| |Steel Sword........1 Long Sword, 1 Beast Fang| |Mage Cloak............1 Cloak, 1 White Silver| o----------o====================o-------------o o------------o |Item Name Grade| |> Marble's <| |--------------------| | o-------o |Beast Fang.........5| |Palma Potion...1000G| |Magical Cloth.....10| |Apple Gel.......100G| |Black Silver......10| |Orange Gel......200G| |White Silver......10| |Panacea Bottle..150G| |Grab Bag..........30| |Life Bottle.....300G| o--------------------o |Holy Bottle.....200G| |Magic Lens.......10G| Skipper's Haven INN: 200G |Guard Bottle...1000G| |Poison Charm...4000G| o--------------------o The scene from the Remote Island Human Ranch continues here.

Afterwards, pull out the block with the red- eyed face. After that, exit the room. Return to the mini-shadow, run through it and turn off the light with your Sorcerer's Ring. --Keep going W, turn out the light and at the open area, go S, down the stairs to find 2 more face blocks and another mini-shadow. Push into the wall the E most face block, but before, use the Sorcerer's Ring on it (the cyan-eyed one). This will make a mini-shadow on top of a block to fall down. Now pull out the W most face block (the green-eyed one). Now return to the open area and go down the stairs to the N. At the bottom, there's a skull-type enemy around here (it should be next to the crystal). Dispose of it to obtain the memory gem of the Temple. Now go to the bottom of the ramp near the memory gem holder. You'll leave the 2 mini- shadows there. Now return up the ramp and W, through the middle path (where the crystal is). At the end, the mini-shadow on the block is here. What you have to do is move it: 1. 2 times E 2. 2 times N 3. 1 time E 4. 3 times N Now return to where the three paths were and go down the ramp. Pick up the mini-shadow and take it to where you took the other 2. Run up the ramp and go exactly NE of it to get 'EX Gem Lv3' from the super hidden chest. Now go W to the three path and go down the ramp. You'll notice a face block here, which you used to cross to move the block where the mini-shadow was. Push the block in all the way, return to where you left the mini-shadows and exit through the SE door. Follow the path and get 'Headband' from a hidden chest under the large staircase. Go up the large staircase and at the main area, go S, get 'Shadow Dancer' from the chest and run through the mini-shadow. Run on top of the face block and a super mini scene happens, letting you know that the mini-shadow will stay there. Now return to the large staircase and enter the mini area where you changed the function of the Sorcerer's Ring. Pull out the face stone all the way you can and return to where the mini- shadow is waiting for you. Start going W and at the red-eyed face block, push it in one more time. Now return to where you took the mini-shadows (where the save point is), go up the ramp and go W to the three paths. Go through the middle one and go up the ramp at the SE corner of the platform. At the end, cross the face block, run through the mini-shadow and take him to his brothers and sisters. Return to where you left the last one (all the way to the top). Run through it to have it follow you and take him to the bottom just like you took the first one. Once the five mini-shadows are together, save your game and proceed N then E down the ramp and into a new area. Be sure these fellows are following you all the time. Proceed further in and when you come to a fork, go E and at the four way split, follow the path S and get 'EX Gem Lv2' from the chest at the end. Return to the fork and go E this time to get 'EX Gem Lv4' from the chest at the end. Now proceed N, follow the path and unlock the memory seal when you come to it. Save your game, heal up and proceed W. There's a scene and then a Boss Battle! ------------ BOSS: SHADOW ------------ - Name: Shadow - Location: Temple of Darkness - HP: 30,000 - TP: 800 - ATK: 1,520 - DEF: 232 - XP: 6,320 - Gald: 4,500 - Items dropped: Dark Seal - Steal: None - Elemental Info.: - AA: None - Weak: None - Strong: Darkness - Strategy: Shadow is not that hard. He is slow, and after every attack, he'll calm down a bit, so you can heal. Is you haven't sold Lloyd's Saint Rapier weapon, equip it, because it's a blessing in this battle. Raine's Ray spell is, the biggest blessing you could use for this battle. Use Unison Attacks when he casts a spell to nullify them. Also, if Sheena is in Over Limit mode, be sure to use summons. Like I said, he's not that hard, you only have to be quick with your fingers. ------------ After the battle, there's a scene and Sheena learns "T. Seal: Darkness" and "Summon: Darkness", and you also receive 'Amethyst'. Now, thanks to Namco, we have to get out of here manually, so do so! At the World Map, Go to Tethe'alla Base and go to Sylvarant. Now, before moving, move yourself so that you're pointing NE. And then fly like about half a second. There will be a green dot on the map, symbolizing grass, while all around it is brown, symbolizing the mountains. Approach the little root and enter Linkite Tree. ________ __________________ / ___ _ \ / sx575 / \ \ / // / ___________________/_________________/ \// / \/ / Area #75 \ / /ales of Symphonia--------------< Linkite Tree > ~~~/_/~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\_____________________________________/ ~ - My lv.: Lloyd 55, Raine 55, Colette 53, Zelos 54 ~ Regal 54, Presea 52, Sheena 54, Genis 54 ~ - Enemies: None ~ o--Weapons/Armor/Items:-------------------------------------------------------o | None | o~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~o This area is really fast.

When you have control, talk to Nova's children. The first one will give you 'Linkite Nut'. After talking to the three children, another scene triggers and afterwards, talk to Nova and leave. We need an Exsphere. Do we have one? Not that I remember. Oh yeah, Dirk gave you one when you went in search of Efreet. Now we have everything we need, so let's return to the Linkite Tree. ________ __________________ / ___ _ \ / sx577 / \ \ / // / ___________________/_________________/ \// / \/ / Area #77 \ / /ales of Symphonia--------------< Linkite Tree > ~~~/_/~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\_____________________________________/ ~ - My lv.: Lloyd 55, Raine 55, Colette 53, Zelos 54 ~ Regal 54, Presea 52, Sheena 54, Genis 54 ~ - Enemies: None ~ o--Weapons/Armor/Items:-------------------------------------------------------o | Linkite Ocarina.....(KI) - | o~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~o Examine the tree to trigger a scene.

I hope you saved, because I didn't!!!!!!! --------------- BOSS: LUNA/ASKA --------------- a) Luna - Location: Tower of Mana - HP: 18,000 - TP: 720 - ATK: 1,120 - DEF: 292 - XP: 3,250 - Gald: 4,800 - Items dropped: Moonstone - Steal: none - Elemental Info.: - AA: None - Weak: None - Strong: Light a) Aska - Location: Tower of Mana - HP: 19,650 - TP: 600 - ATK: 1,120 - DEF: 245 - XP: 3,480 - Gald: 2,800 - Items dropped: Rare Pellets - Steal: None - Elemental Info.: - AA: Light - Weak: None - Strong: Water, Wind, Fire, Earth, Lightning, Ice, Light - Strategy: Ok, dammit, I didn't save. Ok, now is a perfect time to use Sheena's T. Seal: Darkness. Let's go after Aska first. Attacks will do moderate amount of dmg. to him, but he only has 2 attacks, I think, which are a normal physical attack, very easy to predict and Sunshine Nova, or something like that. He flies up high and releases a ball of Light, damaging party members nearby. You shouldn't worry about Luna too much, since she'll be distracted with Zelos and Sheena. After taking Aska, it's time to dispose of Luna. She's not that hard either. She has more attacks, but weak. She has her physical attack, low dmg. She also has Photon and Ray, being this last one her most powerful attack. Combo her all you can and make her cancel her magic by dealing quite amount of dmg. After some time, they'll go down. --------------- After the battle, the scene continues, you'll receive 'Topaz' and Sheena learns "S. Seal: Light" and "Summon: Light" and you'll finally see your first animated cutscene. Afterwards, Kratos rejoins the party and obtains the title "Traitor". You'll be taken automatically to Iselia Human Ranch. ________ __________________ / ___ _ \ / sx579 / \ \ / // / ___________________/_________________/ \// / \/ / Area #79 \ / /ales of Symphonia--------------< Iselia Human Ranch > ~~~/_/~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\_____________________________________/ ~ - My lv.: Lloyd 56, Raine 56, Zelos 55, Kratos 54 ~ Presea 53, Colette 54, Genis 55, Regal 54 ~ - Enemies: Whip Master, Spearman, Bowman, Raybit, Evil Sorcerer, ~ Forcystus/Exbone x2 ~ o--Weapons/Armor/Items:-------------------------------------------------------o | Solar Spinner.....(WP) - (WP).....Cor Leonis | | Muramasa.....(WP) - (WP).....Ether Sword | | Rune Staff.....(WP) - (AB).....Rune Robe | | Aqua Grieves.....(WP) - (AA).....Rune Shield | | Rune Mail.....(AB) - (AB).....Rune Guard | | Hairpin.....(AH) - (AA).....Rune Gauntlet | | Rune Cloak.....(AB) - (AH).....Rune Circlet | | Lovely Mittens.....(AA) - (WP).....War Hammer | o~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~o o-------------o |> Refresher <| | o-----o |Apple Gel......100G| |Lemon Gel.....1000G| |Orange Gel.....200G| |Pineapple.....1200G| |Melange Gel....500G| |Miracle Gel...3000G| |Panacea Bottle.150G| |Life Bottle....300G| |Magic Lens......10G| o-------------------o After the scene and when you regain control, go E, down the stairs and into the facility. Save in this room and change the function of the Sorcerer's Ring. Proceed N carefully and a scene triggers. You have to divide in 2 teams again. I chose the following split up: = Reactor team: - Lloyd - Kratos - Zelos - Presea = Rescue team: - Raine - Colette - Genis - Regal When you regain control, go E and get 'Lovely Mittens' from a hidden chest almost in the corner. Now the 2 blue circles above you are Refreshers. After using them, go N and at the fork, go W and get 'Solar Spinner', 'Cor Leonis' and 'Muramasa'. Equip all three weapons and return to the fork and this time go E. Get 'Ether Sword' and 'Rune Staff' from the chests. Return to the refresher room and use the Sorcerer's Ring on both of the cyan orbs in front of the W door to open it. Proceed through this room and enter the door. There's a scene in here and an easy fight. After the scene, go down the stairs and exit through the bottom E door. Go all the way E in this room and get 'Rune Robe' from the chest here. Go up the stairs and W at the fork up them. Use the Sorcerer's Ring on the dark blue orbs to open the door and to get 'Aqua Grieves', 'Rune Shield' and 'Rune Mail' from the three chests at the end. Return to the fork and go N this time. Use the Sorcerer's Ring on the red orbs and get 'Rune Guard', 'Hairpin' and 'Rune Gauntlet'. Return to the fork and go E this time. there's a new fork. Go S and use the Sorcerer's Ring on the purple orbs to get 'Rune Cloak' and 'Rune Circlet'. Return to the fork and go N this time. Use the Sorcerer's Ring on the N green orbs. Do not enter yet, but instead, go SE and enter the door. Dispose of the enemy in here and get the memory gem for the memory circle we just passed. Now get 'War Hammer' from the chest and use the Sorcerer's Ring on the yellow orb. You can use this as a shortcut to the refresher. Now return, unlock the memory seal, save your game and enter the door with the green orbs. Go to the end, go up the portal and watch the scene. Afterwards, a Boss Battle! ------------------------- BOSS: FORCYSTUS/EXBONE X2 ------------------------- a) Forcystus - Location: Iselia Human Ranch - HP: 20,000 - TP: 400 - ATK: 1,200 - DEF: 300 - XP: 7,100 - Gald: 5,800 - Items dropped: Faerie Ring - Steal: None - Elemental Info.: - AA: None - Weak: None - Strong: Wind b) Exbone x2 - Location: Iselia Human Ranch - HP: 6,000 - TP: 320 - ATK: 1,000 - DEF: 250 - XP: 0 - Gald: 0 - Items dropped: None - Steal: None - Elemental Info.: - AA: None - Weak: None - Strong: None - Strategy: First of all, take care of the Exbones, they only have 6,000 HP each, so they'll go down in about 25 sec. When they are gone, go after Forcystus. He's extremely annoying and extremely hard. He won't give you any chance to combo him and you'll be hit a lot. When he uses Cyclone, unleash a Unison Attack right away to nullify it. There's not much to say about him, except that you'll be using a lot of items, specially Life Bottles and Pineapple Gels. ------------------------- After the battle, there's a scene and afterwards, exit the ranch completely to trigger another scene. What the f***? What's happening to Colette?

Go to the sewers, like we've been doing and Quick-jump. But, what the? You didn't quick-jump completely. Try exiting the sewers to trigger a scene. Afterwards, exit the sewers. Now go to the area in front of the castle and enter the church on your W. Now go in the NW door to trigger another scene and at the end of it, Colette receives the title "Spiritua Reborn". The scene continues afterwards. When you regain control, exit the room, go E, down the stairs and go E and enter the door. There's another scene in here and now, you have two options, either go to get the Zircon to Altamira or go get the Mana Leaf Herb at Ymir Forest. Let's go get the Mana Leaf Herb first and for that, you need the King's permit. But since he's in recovery, go and talk to the princess. She's near the entrance of the castle. After the scene, you receive 'King's Letter'. Afterwards, leave Meltokio. Now the main gates are open again. Now, Ymir Forest is exactly S of the Tower of Salvation, on the S continent.

Afterwards, go and stand on the tree stump E of the Sorcerer's pedestal. Use the Ring on top to have a wild boar charge towards the tree. There's a 'Resist Ring' behind the tree. Return near the entrance, go E and at the fork, go S, up the tree stump and use the Sorcerer's Ring to have a wild boar kill himself with the chest. You'll receive 'Solar Guard' from it. Now go all the way N and get 'Gladius' from the chest behind the tree. Now return a little bit and go W. Follow the path up to the next section. From the fork, follow the lower W path and use the Sorcerer's Ring on the tree stump. Return to the fork and go E this time. Follow it until a mini scene triggers. Use the Sorcerer's Ring on the tree stump to have another boar smash into the tree. A blue thing falls. Examine it to get 'Blue Seed'. Afterwards, check behind the tree to get 'Crystal Shell'. Now return a bit and go N. Use the Sorcerer's Ring on the tree stump to make a bug fall down to the water. Return to the Sorcerer's pedestal and plant the Blue Seed on the W side of the tree. Various Blue plants start growing. From the fork below, go W and N at the next. You can go up the tree branch to reach a higher level. Follow the path NE to the next area. Follow the path and go W at the fork where a water lily resides with a blue flower. Use the Sorcerer's Ring on it to have a little fish push a chest. From the previous fork, go E, follow the path, go up the tree branch and at the fork, go S, follow the path to the save point. Get 'Maid's Hairband' from a chest behind the tree besides the save point and get 'White Seed' from the chest on the water lily. Go N and talk to the kid here. He says that he needs a Ymir Fruit for his mom. Time to get one. Return to the Sorcerer's pedestal and plant the White Seed to have white flowers bloom all over the forest. Go to the fork before the Sorcerer's pedestal and go up the tree branch to your E. Jump on the tree branch where the white flower is and use the Sorcerer's Ring to have a hawk take you to another area. Drop the box here and return to the fork before the pedestal. Go W, and then N, up the branch and on to the next area. Go E at the fork and follow the path. At the next fork, go E and on to the next area. Go up the tree branch, go W and use the Sorcerer's Ring on the white flower. Once on land, go E, up the tree stump and use your Sorcerer's Ring once again to have another boar smash on the boulder. Finally the boulder breaks. Return to the white flower and use the Sorcerer's Ring. Once on land again, go E and at the corner, instead of going through the walkway, go down the tree branch and all the way E. Use your Sorcerer's Ring on the pink flower to have another boar drop the Ymir Fruit. Return up the branch, go S, down another branch and N. Use the Sorcerer's Ring on the pink flower to have a boar drop a bug. Now, at the fork, go E and at the end, jump on the water lily and use the Sorcerer's Ring to have a little fish (where is this little fish taking my fruit?) push your fruit. Get off the water lily and return to where the wooden box is. But instead of going E towards the fruit Tree, go W, and use the Sorcerer's Ring on the pink flower. Three bugs fall down, moving S the fruit. Return up the tree branch, go S and at the fork, go W and you'll be at the 4- way fork. You'll pass a water lily just before the fork. Hop onto it and use the Sorcerer's Ring to have another fish push the Ymir Fruit. Now get off the water lily and take the upper W path. There are 2 fishes here and a water lily. Jump on the water lily and when you see the bottom fish is looking N and his (...) dialog bubble disappears, use the Sorcerer's Ring to have the little fish slip by S. Return now to the entrance. Go W at the fork and S at the next one. Follow the path until you reach another water lily. Use the Sorcerer's Ring on top of it to have the fish arrive at its' final destination. Return to the pedestal, hop on top of the water lily and get 'Ymir Fruit'. Now return to the save point, save your game and give the little boy the Ymir Fruit. He then gives you 'Metal Sphere' and then enter Heimdall. ________ __________________ / ___ _ \ / sx585 / \ \ / // / ___________________/_________________/ \// / \/ / Area #85 \ / /ales of Symphonia--------------< The Hidden Elven Village, Heimdall > ~~~/_/~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\_____________________________________/ ~ - My lv.: Lloyd 58, Presea 55, Zelos 57, Colette 56 ~ Regal 57, Sheena 55 ~ - Enemies: None ~ o--Weapons/Armor/Items:-------------------------------------------------------o | Elf Elder's Staff.....(KI) - | o~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~o o-------------------o o-------------------o o-----------------o |> Sunset Supplies <| |> Twilight Armory <| |> Twilight Arms <| | o----o | oo | o----o |Apple Gel...........100G| |Rune Mail.....5,000G| |Wasier Rapier...6,400G| |Lemon Gel.........1,000G| |Rune Guard....4,800G| |Solar Spinner...5,980G| |Orange Gel..........200G| |Rune Cloak....4,800G| |Northern Lights.5,400G| |Pineapple Gel.....1,200G| |Rune Robe.....4,400G| |Rune Staff......5,000G| |Melange Gel.........500G| |Rune Helm.....4,000G| |Yaksa...........5,900G| |Miracle Gel.......3,000G| |Rune Hat......3,000G| |Gladius.........6,400G| |Panacea Bottle......150G| |Rune Circlet..4,600G| |Ether Sword.....6,000G| |Life Bottle.........300G| |Rune Shield...5,000G| |War Hammer......6,300G| |Miracle Bottle....3,000G| |Rune Gauntlet.3,000G| |Crystal Shell...6,200G| |Anti-Magic Bottle.1,000G| |Rune Cape.....5,600G| o----------------------o |Flare Bottle......1,000G| |Rune Boots....6,000G| |Guard Bottle......1,000G| o--------------------o |Acuity Bottle.....1,000G| |Syrup Bottle......1,000G| |Shell Bottle......1,000G| Sylvan Hideaway: 200G |Holy Bottle.........200G| |Dark Bottle.........200G| o------------------------o o-----------------o |> Twilight Arms <| o----------------o o----------------o |Wasier Rapier.....1 Saint Rapier, 1 Magical Cloth, | | :...1 Mythril & 1 Mermaid's Tear | |Solar Spinner.....1 Mythril Ring, 1 Black Silver, | | :...1 White Silver & 1 Brass | |Gladius...........1 Flame Dagger, 1 Mythril, | | :.........1 Magical Cloth & 1 Metal Sphere | |Battle Pick.......1 Bardiche, 1 Magical Cloth, | | :.....1 Beast Hide & 1 Mystic Herb | |Crystal Shell.....1 Mythril Greaves, 1 Mythril, | | :...1 Beast Fang & 1 White Silver | |Reflect...........1 Breastplate, 1 Mythril & | | :.........1 White Silver | |Solar Guard.......1 Silver Guard & 1 Mythril | |Draupnir..........1 Lapis Bracelet, 1 Metal Sphere,| | :........1 Beast Fang & 1 Beast Hide | o---------------------------------------------------o There's a scene with Kratos as you enter.

Restock your item supply at >Sunset Supplies<. Now go N, across the bridge and go W. Before leaving this area, go under the Inn and speak to the dog on the other side. Now go on to the next area of the village. At this area, go in the NW house. This is the Elder's House. Before speaking to him, go in the room to the E and examine the painting in the corner to have Wonder Chef appear and tech you how to make "Cream Stew". Now speak to the Elder. He gives you 'Elf Elder's Staff'. Now exit the house and go under the Elder's House to the other side and speak to the dog here. Exit the village, Genis and Raine rejoin the party. Now Quick-jump out of there. Now we have to go to Latheon Gorge. Where is it? It's directly SE of Ymir Forest. ________ __________________ / ___ _ \ / sx586 / \ \ / // / ___________________/_________________/ \// / \/ / Area #86 \ / /ales of Symphonia--------------< Latheon Gorge > ~~~/_/~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\_____________________________________/ ~ - My lv.: Lloyd 59, Raine 59, Genis 58, Zelos 57 ~ Presea 56, Colette 57, Regal 57, Sheena 56 ~ - Enemies: Deathseeker, Sheldra, Sea Dragon, Poison Lily, Spiked Snail ~ Crush Tortoise, Fake (SB), Plantix (B) ~ o--Weapons/Armor/Items:-------------------------------------------------------o | EX Gem Lv4..... 3 - 1 .....Rare Pellets | | EX Gem Lv3..... 2 - (DA).....Diablos | | Flare Greaves.....(WP) - (WP).....Toroid | | Draupnir.....(AC) - (WP).....Battle Pick | | Mana Leaf Herb.....(KI) - 1 .....Elixir | | Star Cap.....(AH) - | o~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~o Enter Latheon Gorge until a scene triggers. Afterwards, go N and get 'EX Gem Lv4' from the chest. Return to the fork and go E. There's another fork here. Go S and change the function of the Sorcerer's Ring. Now go N at the fork and get 'Rare Pellets' from the chest at the end. Now go up the path and use the Sorcerer's Ring on the W side of the plant to have it take you to the other side. Examine the sick flower and proceed N up the path. At the end of it, there's a tree of Kirima. Take as many as you want and return to the sick plant. Give it a Kirima and use it to cross to the other side. Start going E until you are in the next area. In this area, start by going E all the way, get 'EX Gem Lv3' from the chest, now go up the path you just passed and go W right away to get 'EX Gem Lv3' from the chest. Now go SW at the fork and get Presea's Devil's Arm 'Diablos' from the black chest. Return to the fork and go E all the way and give the sick flower a Kirima. Return to the fork and use the plant here to reach a new platform. Follow the path N until a scene kicks in. Pick up as many Amangos as you can and proceed N and to a new area. At the fork, go N to a new fork. Go NW and get 'EX Gem Lv4' from the chest. Now give a Kirima to the sick plant N of the chest and then use the Sorcerer's Ring in front of the blue-purple flower and it'll drop you to the lowest level. From here, give the sick plant N of you a Kirima and use it to move behind the waterfall. Behind it, go W and get 'Star Cap' from the chest. Now go E and use the flower to return to the middle isle. Now use the S flower to take you to the exit but before doing so, get 'Rare Shield' from the chest. Now use the blue-purple flower to return to where the Devil's Arms was. Return now to the area where you used the blue-purple flower to go to the waterfall area and return to the fork before the blue-purple flower. Go E and up the hill. Give a Kirima to the plant just up the hill. Now go S and use the Sorcerer's Ring in front of the plant to have it take you to the other side. Now go N (not up the path) and use the Sorcerer's Ring to have the plant blow you up to an upper level. From here, go NW and get 'Flare Greaves' from the chest. Now go all the way E and get 'Toroid' from the chest under the tree. Go now up the path, give a Kirima to the sick plant and return to the lower level using the plant. As you land, use the large blue-purple flower to have it take you to another area. Go down the path and you'll be in middle of a 5-way fork. Return up the path you just came from and ride the plant to the other side. There are 2 plants here. Give the E one an Amango and ride the W one back. Return to the fork and go up the path to the SE. Give an Amango to the flower to wilt it (the one you just used). Return to the fork and go S and up the path. Give the W flower a Kirima and ride it to go to the first area and to get 'EX Gem Lv4' from the chest. Now ride the flower down and return to the 5-way split. Once here, go S and up the path. Give the E flower a Kirima and ride it to reach another platform. From here, give the sick flower up the hill a Kirima and proceed up the hill. Ride the flower at the top to reach another area. From where you arrive, use the plant in front of you. Go up the path and ride the large flower across a waterfall. Now ride the flower here to reach a level with a sick flower and a good flower. Give a Kirima to the sick flower and ride the other one. Give a Kirima to the flower and enter the cave. Check the chest for a fight with a Fake! -------------- SUB-BOSS: FAKE -------------- - Name: Fake - Location: Latheon Gorge - HP: 7,800 - TP: 350 - ATK: ??? - DEF: ??? - XP: 461 - Gald: 5,000 - Items dropped: All-divide - Steal: None - Elemental Info.: - AA: None - Weak: None - Strong: All - Strategy: Deactivate all of Zelos' attacks except for Eruption, Air Thrust, Grave and Thunder Blade. Same for Genis, deactivate all of his spells, except for Tidal Wave, Explosion, Cyclone and Ground Dasher. As soon as you enter the battle, give the "All out" order by pressing -> on the D-pad. Put yourself in front of the Fake and start guarding and using Guardian every now and then. Zelos and Genis will start attacking the Fake with magic and keeping a distance from it. Raine's duty here is to support you with her healing arts, and using her Photon and Ray/Holy Lance when she's not healing. In doing so, you'll win the battle in no time. -------------- You receive 'Elixir' after the battle. Now go up the path W of the Fake and up the path to the E. Up here, dispose of the slime-type enemy to receive the Memory Gem for the dungeon. From this fork, go W, up the path and get 'Draupnir' from the chest. Return back down to the path above the fake and go W. When you come to a fork, go N, restock Kirimas if needed and go S at the fork. Out here, give a Kirima to the sick flower and ride it E. Ride the large flower too. Ride the next flower E and go up the path to the E to another area. In this area, follow the path and when you reach the sick flower, give it a Kirima. Now cross the bridge W and give the sick plant on this side a Kirima too. Return to the first flower and ride it to have a large rock fall down. Once on the bridge again, go W, save your game (finally!!!) and enter the house. Before talking to the Storyteller, examine the green bunny thingy to have Wonder Chef appear once again to teach you how to make "Pescatore". now speak to him to trigger a scene. From where the Storyteller leaves you, go E and get 'Battle Pick' from the chest. Save your game one more time, and go down the path the Storyteller showed you. Follow the path, ride the flower you see and enter the cave. Walk a few steps N, a scene triggers and a Boss Battle begins! ------------ BOSS: PLANTIX ------------ - Name: Plantix - Location: Latheon Gorge - HP: 36,000 - TP: 250 - ATK: 1,300 - DEF: 310 - XP: 7,500 - Gald: 1,250 - Items dropped: Blue Sephira - Steal: None - Elemental Info.: - AA: None - Weak: Fire - Strong: Earth - Strategy: Make a party of Lloyd, Genis, Raine and Zelos. This jerk has a lot of HP, but we'll take it down fast. Deactivate all of Genis' spells, except for Explosion and Raging Mist. For Zelos, it doesn't matter, since we need him to aid the physical offense. Raine, as always, must heal during the battle. If it's possible, equip Zelos with the Flame Dagger, to inflict some mayor dmg. on Plantix. A good tech to use with Lloyd is Sword Rain: Beta and Beast Sword Rain. This boss is so weak, comparing it to others. Genis' Explosion deals over 3,500 dmg. each time it hits. Zelos' attacks, with the Flame Dagger, deals near 500 dmg. every hit. After a while, he goes down. ------------- After the battle, watch the scene and obtain 'Mana Leaf Herb' and you'll be again in front of the Storyteller's house. Enter the house and talk to him. This is indeed a very exciting story, so pay close attention. After the scene, you'll be back at the entrance of Latheon Gorge (Thank goodness!). Exit Latheon Gorge and head to Altamira to get the Zircon. ________ __________________ / ___ _ \ / sx587 / \ \ / // / ___________________/_________________/ \// / \/ / Area #87 \ / /ales of Symphonia--------------< Altamira > ~~~/_/~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\_____________________________________/ ~ - My lv.: Lloyd 60, Raine 60, Genis 59, Zelos 59 ~ Presea 58, Colette 58, Regal 59, Sheena 57 ~ - Enemies: None ~ o--Weapons/Armor/Items:-------------------------------------------------------o | None | o~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~o o-------------o o--------------o o-------------o |> Aces High <| |> Full House <| |> Wild Card <| | o---------o | o---------o | o--------o |Mythril Armor....4,600G| |Apple Gel...........100G| |Elemental Brand.5,200G| |Mythril Guard...10,000G| |Lemon Gel.........1,000G| |Defenser........5,000G| |Mythril Mesh.....4,200G| |Orange Gel..........200G| |Lunar Ring......5,000G| |Mythril Circlet..2,200G| |Pineapple Gel.....1,200G| |Shuriken........4,000G| |Mythril Shield...2,800G| |Melange Gel.........500G| |Shining Star....3,600G| |Mythril Gauntlet.1,200G| |Miracle Gel.......3,000G| |Ancient Rod.....4,200G| |Mythril Bracelet.2,000G| |Panacea Bottle......150G| |Thunder Scepter.3,200G| |Cute Mittens.....1,800G| |Life Bottle.........300G| |Flame Dagger....5,400G| |Poison Charm.....4,000G| |Miracle Bottle....3,000G| |Ice Coffin......5,000G| |Drain Charm......4,000G| |Anti-Magic Bottle.1,000G| |Halberd.........5,600G| |Stone Charm......4,000G| |Flare Bottle......1,000G| |Bardiche........5,200G| |Paralysis Charm..4,000G| |Guard Bottle......1,000G| |Bear Claw.......5,200G| |Stun Charm.......4,000G| |Acuity Bottle.....1,000G| |Ghost Shell.....5,000G| |Thief's Cape.....3,000G| |Syrup Bottle......1,000G| o----------------------o |Heavy Boots......3,000G| |Shell Bottle......1,000G| |Magic Mist.......6,000G| |Holy Bottle.........200G| o-----------------------o |Dark Bottle.........200G| o------------------------o o---------------o |> Full House <| o-----------------o o-----------------o |Elemental Brand......1 Kotetsu, 1 Beast Fang, | | :....1 Black Silver & 1 Mystic Herb| |Lunar Ring*...................1 Shuriken , 1 Brass,| | :............1 Black Silver & 1 Mythril| |Lunar Ring*..............1 Mythril Ring, 1 Brass, | | :............1 Metal Sphere & 1 Mythril| |Flame Dagger......1 Assault Dagger, 1 Black Silver,| | :....1 White Silver & 1 Metal Sphere | |Halberd....................1 Crescent Ax, 1 Brass &| | :..................1 Metal Sphere | |Bear Claw................1 Iron Gauntlet, 1 Brass &| | :..............1 Black Silver | o---------------------------------------------------o *Is the same weapon, but there are 2 recipes for it.

Go up the elevator to the fourth floor and examine the large brownish pumpkin next to the stairs to have Wonder Chef appear and teach you "Spaghetti". Now go to the fifth floor and rest at your bed. Once daytime, talk to the guy N at the grave to have Presea obtain the title "Mature Kid". Now ride the elemental railway to the Lezareno Company. Once here, go up to the President's Office and talk to George. Now go to the second floor to trigger a scene. After it, return to the entrance and go to Sybak.

There's a scene as you enter. Afterwards, go N and E at the fork. Follow the path and go to the next area. Another scene triggers here and from where you are, enter the house with the people lined outside. Another scene triggers here and now you have to options: Whether you want to keep Zelos or you want Kratos to rejoin the party. To do so, follow the steps: - Zelos: Accept going out with 1 of the three characters that knocks at the door. - Kratos: Decline everyone's offer and after the third decline, you'll hear Kratos' voice. If you hear it, somewhat in the game, he rejoins your party. After choosing Zelos or Kratos, a scene triggers and you'll exit Flanoir. Reenter Flanoir and head to >Hailstorm< and buy: 2 Rare Plates, 1 Rare Guard, 1 Rune Cloak and 2 Rare Helm. Now head to Tethe'alla's Tower of Salvation. Now, if you feel like taking down the last of the Sword Dancers, #3, keep reading. If not, scroll down to where the Tower of Salvation Area starts and where you see <@@@>. Return to Sylvarant and enter Iselia Forest from Dirk's House. Sword Dancer #3 is there, waiting for you. Save and prepare yourself reading the strategy of the Boss! ------------------------------ OPTIONAL BOSS: SWORD DANCER #3 ------------------------------ - Name: Sword Dancer #3 - Location: Iselia Forest - HP: 99,999 - TP: 888 - ATK: ??? - DEF: ??? - XP: 15,000 - Gald: 30,000 - Items dropped: EX Gem Lv1, EX Gem Lv2 - Steal: ??? - Elemental Info.: - AA: None - Weak: Light - Strong: None - Strategy: For the very first time, I was surprised of the power of Sword Dancer #3. His attacks are just way to powerful. His physical attacks, if you're guarding, they deal 150+ dmg. When not, like 500+ a hit. That's nothing compared to his other abilities. He can cast very powerful and devastating spells that can rip your party apart. Personally, I was lv: Lloyd 64, Raine 64, Genis 63, and Zelos 63. Deactivate all of Genis' spells except for Explosion, Cyclone, Ground Dasher, Indignation, Gravity Well and Force Field. As for Zelos, deactivate everything, except for Guardian, First Aid, Healing Stream and Healing Wind. Now, on to the Strat sub-menu. Set the Strat like the following: = Genis - Attack Freely - At Once - Don't Pursue = Raine - Attack Freely - Heal - Don't Pursue = Zelos - Attack Freely - Heal - Skills and Magic (this will prevent having Zelos approaching too much) A lot of people tell me (especially my friends) that it's almost needed to use an All-divide. And I say no. Sword Dancers' most powerful spell is Indignation, of course. When you the word "Indignation" on top of the screen, and Genis is not casting it, run for your life and out of the area. Also, try and cancel Sword Dancer’s Indignation with a Unison Attack. Use Sword Rain: Beta, Ray, Lightning Blade and Ground Dasher. You'll unleash Prism Stars, a crazy ass attack combining Raine's Ray and Genis' Ground Dasher. Throughout the battle and with my lv. I used: 3 Lemon Gels, 8 Pineapple Gels, 9 Life Bottles, 1 Energy Tablets and 1 Spirit Bottle. After some time, you'll finally give Sword Dancer his eternal rest. ------------------------------ After the battle, you'll receive 'Kusanagi Blade'. Lloyd's second best weapon. Afterwards, return to Tethe'alla and go to its' Tower of Salvation. <@@@> *-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-* *=-=-=_____=-=-=* +---| V.ii.v Coming to an End |--------------------------|--> [_____] <--|----+ '-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-' '=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=' ________ __________________ / ___ _ \ / sx594 / \ \ / // / ___________________/_________________/ \// / \/ / Area #94 \ / /ales of Symphonia--------------< Tower of Salvation (Tethe'alla) > ~~~/_/~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\_____________________________________/ ~ - My lv.: Lloyd 65, Raine 65, Sheena 62, Zelos 64 ~ Regal 64, Genis 64, Colette 63, Presea 62 ~ - Enemies: Gatekeeper, Angel Swordian x2 (B), Zelos Wilder (B), Evil Orchid~ Mocking Plant, Bomb Plant, Bomb Seedling, Angel Spearman, Angel ~ Commander, Angel Archer ~ o--Weapons/Armor/Items:-------------------------------------------------------o | Diamond Shell.....(WP) - (WP).....Southern Cross | | Hanuman's Staff.....(WP) - (WP).....Ogre Ax | | Heavenly Robe.....(AB) - 1 .....Energy Tablets | | Star Mail.....(AB) - 2 .....EX Gem Lv4 | | Phoenix Cloak.....(AB) - (AB).....Star Guard | | EX Gem Lv3..... 2 - (AB).....Shaman Dress | | Star Helm.....(AH) - (AA).....Star Shield | | Star Gauntlet.....(AA) - 1 .....EX Gem Lv2 | | Star Bracelet.....(AA) - 1 .....Spirit Bottle | | Star Circlet.....(AH) - | o~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~o o-------------o |> Refresher <| | o-----------o |Apple Gel............100G| |Lemon Gel...........1000G| |Orange Gel...........200G| |Pineapple...........1200G| |Melange Gel..........500G| |Miracle Gel.........3000G| |Panacea Bottle.......150G| |Life Bottle..........300G| |Miracle Bottle......3000G| |Anti-Magic Bottle...1000G| |Flare Bottle........1000G| |Guard Bottle........1000G| |Acuity Bottle.......1000G| |Syrup Bottle........1000G| |Shell Bottle........1000G| |Holy Bottle..........200G| |Dark Bottle..........200G| o-------------------------o When you enter, proceed up the stairs to trigger a scene. After Yuan rescues you, go NE and use the refresher is needed. Then proceed NW at the fork and use the portal at the end. A scene triggers and now, the following Boss depends of whether you chose Zelos or Kratos at Flanoir. If you kept Zelos in your party, read the following. If not, skip the Boss Battle and proceed with the next one and where the (&&&) are. ---------------------------------- BOSS: GATEKEEPER/ANGEL SWORDIAN X2 ---------------------------------- A) Gatekeeper - Location: Tower of Salvation (Tethe'alla) - HP: 18,000 - TP: 800 - ATK: 1,180 - DEF: 210 - XP: 8,880 - Gald: 8,970 - Items dropped: Mystic Symbol - Steal: None - Elemental Info.: - AA: None - Weak: None - Strong: Light b) Angel Swordian x2 - Location: Tower of Salvation (Tethe'alla) - HP: 7,480 - TP: 130 - ATK: 1,0407 - DEF: 105 - XP: 236 - Gald: 335 - Items dropped: - Steal: None - Elemental Info.: - AA: None - Weak: None - Strong: None - Strategy: I don't even know what to say about this battle! If you went to Iselia before the battle like I wrote before, and have the Kusanagi Blade, this battle will be just like a breeze. The Angel Swordians have really low HP and maybe go down in 2 combos. Remember the 3-combo + Lv1 Tech + Lv2 Tech + Lv3 Tech. Personally; I had Sonic Thrust as Lv1 Tech, Fierce Demon Fang as Lv2 Tech and Sword Rain: Beta as Lv3 Tech. That dealt over 4,000 dmg. in a single blow. Same goes for the Gatekeeper. He has low ATK power that it doesn't even represents a challenge to you, gamer! ---------------------------------- (&&&) So if you chose Kratos over Zelos, read the following Boss Battle! ------------------ BOSS: ZELOS WILDER ------------------ - Name: Zelos Wilder - Location: Tower of Salvation (Tethe'alla) - HP: 28,000 - TP: 1,200 - ATK: 1,150 - DEF: 365 - XP: 9,300 - Gald: 9,800 - Items dropped: Mystic Symbol - Steal: None - Elemental Info.: - AA: None - Weak: None - Strong: lightning, Light - Strategy: Well, what can I say? I was speechless the first time I saw this too. He surely has a lot of HP. He has all of his tech attacks he had when he was with you, plus some more. He makes good use of them, so don't fear of using all of your items if necessary. I used almost 8 Life Bottles in Lloyd alone. When he's in Over Limit, he can make use of his spells without waiting for them to charge. Make good use of the guardian Skill. After 20 Life Bottles, 15 Orange Gels and 18 Apple Gels (it's a random number), Zelos Wilder will go down. ------------------ After the battle and the scene, you'll be in a strange looking room. Save your game and proceed. At the fork, go N use the Sorcerer's Ring on the branch blocking the path and enter the next area. Jump across to the walkway with the A Button. After the scene, get 'Diamond Shell' from the chest. Go N and up the stairs. Jump on the walkway one more time, but this time, run across and jump down at the end. From there, go E and exit the area. Start moving S all the way until you reach a fork, which you should take E and get 'Southern Cross', 'Hanuman's Staff' and 'Ogre Ax' from the chests. Return to the fork and start making your way NW, burning any branches you find on your way and at the end, go up the stairs. Up here, Go S and use the terminal to open the door beside it. Return and go up the stairs. Follow the path to a wide area. From here, go S and get 'Heavenly Robe' from the chest. Return to the wide area and go NE following the path until you reach a fork, which you should take N to get 'Energy Tablets' from the chest. Return to the fork and go E this time to another fork. Keep going NE and get 'Star Mail' and 'EX Gem Lv4' from the chests at the end of the path. Return to the fork, go S and exit the area. You'll be in the room with the unstable walkway. Get 'Phoenix Cloak' from the chest and use your Sorcerer's Ring on the vines holding the stone to have the stone fall. Return downstairs and through the door you opened before and S at the fork and save your game. Now proceed N all the way and enter the room with the slanting stone path. Go downstairs and start going up the stone walkway. Once on the other side, get 'Star Guard' from the chest and then go upstairs and in the warp portal. Go down the stairs in the next room and a scene triggers where you have to fight an easy battle with 2 Angel Swordians. After the fight, watch the scene and Regal leaves the party. When you regain control, go N and get 'EX Gem Lv3' from the chest. Now go all the way S and get 'Shaman Dress' from the chest. There's also a refresher at the W side. Return to where you started, save your game and proceed through the warp portal. From where you appear, start running down all those stairs to trigger another scene at the bottom. What!!!??? Not Sheena too. Regroup when you have control and afterwards, start going N and when you reach the corner, go E two open areas and get 'Star Helm' from a hidden chest S of the open area. Keep going E until you reach a save point. Save the game and head S to the SE corner of the room. Afterwards, go W and N when possible. From here, the path is very straightforward. Go up the warp portal to trigger another scene. You'll fight some battles, easy ones, don't worry! Whaaaaat!!!??? Raine too? You're only left with Genis and Presea. Form where you are, start go N to the NW corner and two open areas E is a fork, taking the SE path leads you to a save point. Follow the path if you want, or need to. Now go down the SW path and get 'Star Shield' right in front the fork, behind the debris. Follow the path until you get to the warp portal, which you must use. Follow the path and examine the door. A scene triggers and now Presea's gone too. Ok, it's only Genis and Lloyd, just like at the beginning. Follow the path SE and at 4-way fork, go NE and save the game. From the save point, go NE and NW at the next fork. Follow the path to the end and get 'EX Gem Lv3' from the chest behind the debris. Now return to the save point and directly SW of it, there's 'Star Circlet' from a hidden chest behind the debris. Now go all the way NE, past the save point and start making your way E to reach the portal. Before entering, follow the path S and get 'Star Gauntlet' from the lone chest. Now return to the portal and use it. Follow the path N and at the fork, go W and get 'EX Gem Lv2' from the chest. Return to the fork and go E this time to get 'Star Bracelet' from the chest. Return one more time to the fork and go N this time to trigger a scene, where you lose Genis. Lloyd's alone now! From where you start, go NW and at the save point, return one open area and start going E and at the end, get 'Spirit Bottle' from behind the debris. Now return to the broken portal (from where you started this area) and start going SE. One open area before the SE corner, go NE and follow the path to get 'EX Gem Lv4' from the lone chest. Return to the save point, save your game and go SE and enter the portal. Approach the blue-ish bridge to trigger a scene. When you regain control, go up the stairs, save your game and examine the sword stuck in the N wall. A scene triggers and at the end of it, you'll have to battle Pronyma. --------------------- BOSS: PRONYMA/IDUN X2 --------------------- a) Pronyma - Location: Tower of Salvation (Tethe'alla) - HP: 32,000 - TP: 850 - ATK: 1,720 - DEF: 350 - XP: 7,000 - Gald: 4,800 - Items dropped: Red Savory - Steal: None - Elemental Info.: - AA: None - Weak: Light - Strong: Darkness b) Idun - Location: Tower of Salvation (Tethe'alla) - HP: 11,000 - TP: 0 - ATK: 1,150 - DEF: 220 - XP: 1,200 - Gald: 1,200 - Items dropped: Black Quartz - Steal: None - Elemental Info.: - AA: Darkness - Weak: None - Strong: None - Strategy: As the other boss fights, start with her underlings, the Idun's. They have 11,000 HP each, but they'll go down fast. After they're gone, it's Pronyma's time. She has an annoying attack called "Agarazium" or something like that, which makes you float and causing quite some dmg. Prism Sword is her most powerful attack, it's a combination of Judgment and Ray. Nothing to really worry about, remember that Raine's healing arts are the key to have your HP high at all times. ------------------ Watch the scene after the battle and prepare to fight Yggdrasill. ---------------- BOSS: YGGDRASILL ---------------- - Name: Yggdrasill - Location: Tower of Salvation (Tethe'alla) - HP: 40,000 - TP: 3,000 - ATK: 1,800 - DEF: 380 - XP: 8,320 - Gald: 4,800 - Items dropped: EX Gem Lv4, Energy Tablets - Steal: None - Elemental Info.: - AA: None - Weak: Darkness - Strong: Light - Strategy: If you're thinking that this battle, is easy, then you're wrong. This battle is hard, not that hard as Sword Dancer #3. He has some nasty attacks, like Prism Sword, Ray, Outburst, Death Eater (something like that, I don't remember), which looks identically like Judgment. Attack a lot, since he doesn't block that often. Try combo him as much as you can and use Unison Attacks with intelligence. After some time, he'll go down. ---------------- Watch the scene as the battle ends and exit the Tower and head to Heimdall. ________ __________________ / ___ _ \ / sx595 / \ \ / // / ___________________/_________________/ \// / \/ / Area #95 \ / /ales of Symphonia--------------< Heimdall > ~~~/_/~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\_____________________________________/ ~ - My lv.: Lloyd 68, Regal 66, Raine 67, Zelos 66 ~ Sheena 65, Genis 66, Presea 65, Colette 65 ~ - Enemies: None ~ o--Weapons/Armor/Items:-------------------------------------------------------o | None | o~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~o o-------------------o o-------------------o o-----------------o |> Sunset Supplies <| |> Twilight Armory <| |> Twilight Arms <| | o----o | oo | o----o |Apple Gel...........100G| |Rune Mail.....5,000G| |Wasier Rapier...6,400G| |Lemon Gel.........1,000G| |Rune Guard....4,800G| |Solar Spinner...5,980G| |Orange Gel..........200G| |Rune Cloak....4,800G| |Northern Lights.5,400G| |Pineapple Gel.....1,200G| |Rune Robe.....4,400G| |Rune Staff......5,000G| |Melange Gel.........500G| |Rune Helm.....4,000G| |Yaksa...........5,900G| |Miracle Gel.......3,000G| |Rune Hat......3,000G| |Gladius.........6,400G| |Panacea Bottle......150G| |Rune Circlet..4,600G| |Ether Sword.....6,000G| |Life Bottle.........300G| |Rune Shield...5,000G| |War Hammer......6,300G| |Miracle Bottle....3,000G| |Rune Gauntlet.3,000G| |Crystal Shell...6,200G| |Anti-Magic Bottle.1,000G| |Rune Cape.....5,600G| o----------------------o |Flare Bottle......1,000G| |Rune Boots....6,000G| |Guard Bottle......1,000G| o--------------------o |Acuity Bottle.....1,000G| |Syrup Bottle......1,000G| |Shell Bottle......1,000G| Sylvan Hideaway: 200G |Holy Bottle.........200G| |Dark Bottle.........200G| o------------------------o o-----------------o |> Twilight Arms <| o----------------o o----------------o |Wasier Rapier.....1 Saint Rapier, 1 Magical Cloth, | | :...1 Mythril & 1 Mermaid's Tear | |Solar Spinner.....1 Mythril Ring, 1 Black Silver, | | :...1 White Silver & 1 Brass | |Gladius...........1 Flame Dagger, 1 Mythril, | | :.........1 Magical Cloth & 1 Metal Sphere | |Battle Pick.......1 Bardiche, 1 Magical Cloth, | | :.....1 Beast Hide & 1 Mystic Herb | |Crystal Shell.....1 Mythril Greaves, 1 Mythril, | | :...1 Beast Fang & 1 White Silver | |Reflect...........1 Breastplate, 1 Mythril & | | :.........1 White Silver | |Solar Guard.......1 Silver Guard & 1 Mythril | |Draupnir..........1 Lapis Bracelet, 1 Metal Sphere,| | :........1 Beast Fang & 1 Beast Hide | o---------------------------------------------------o After the scene, talk to your party members that are scattered all over Heimdall. Afterwards, talk to Colette in front of the Inn and spend the night. Once you have control, go to the W area of Heimdall to trigger a scene with the Elder.

As you enter, move N and a scene kicks in. Use your Sorcerer's Ring on the tree stump where the cute little animal hid. He'll run E, before following him, go W and at the fork, go S and at the next fork, go S to get 'Stardust'. Return to where you saw the small creature, follow him E and at the fork, he'll run N, but instead, go E and get 'Crystal Dagger' from the chest to the N. Return to the fork and follow the little creature N and exit the area. Use the Sorcerer's Ring on the tree stump and the little creature will run off to the E. Instead, go W, N and get 'Acalanatha' from the chest. Return to the fork and follow our buddy E and at the fork, go E and get 'Angel's Tear' from the N chest when you see it. Keep going E and soon enough you'll see the creature move E and to another area. Keep going E and at the fork, go N and at the second fork, go E, either one, and one of the flower-type enemy here has the Memory Gem for Torent Forest, so dispose of both of them. Now move N and E at the next fork. At the other fork (how many forks are there?), go N AND at the other fork, go E and use the Sorcerer's Ring on the tree stump to have the creature go W. Return to the previous fork and go S to return to another fork, which you should take NW and then N at the next one to go to another area. Proceed N to find a fork. Go NW and then S at the next one to get 'Mana Protector' from the chest. Return to the previous fork and go N to get 'EX Gem Lv4' from the chest. Return to the fork near the entrance and go NE and at the next fork, go E, then N at the next one to get 'EX Gem Lv3' from the chest. Return to the previous fork and go E and unlock the memory seal. Save your game and go E to get 'EX Gem Lv4' from the lone chest. Return to the save point and make your way S to another fork, which you should take SE, following the path to get 'Shield Ring' and 'Warlock Garb' under the waterfall. Return to the previous fork and follow it SW this time to reach another tree stump. Use the Sorcerer's Ring on it and follow the creature E and to another area. Follow the path E until you reach a fork, which you should take N and at the next fork, keep going N and at the next fork, go N and AT the next one, go E, use the Sorcerer's Ring on the tree stump and follow the creature E and exit the area. Prepare yourself and go E to trigger a scene. Afterwards, the battle that I never wanted to fight. ------------------- BOSS: KRATOS AURION ------------------- - Name: Kratos Aurion - Location: Torent Forest - HP: 12,000 - TP: 1400 - ATK: 1,050 - DEF: 320 - XP: 9,990 - Gald: 5,520 - Items dropped: None - Steal: None - Elemental Info.: - AA: None - Weak: None - Strong: Lightning, Light - Strategy: He is very easy, even if you're by yourself. He has the same techs and he really likes to cast Grave and Thunder Blade spells. He casts them so often that it will become annoying. There's not much to say about this battle. ------------------- Watch the nice scene between son and dad. And soon after, you have to battle Origin. ------------ BOSS: ORIGIN ------------ - Name: Origin - Location: Torent Forest - HP: 40,000 - TP: 800 - ATK: 1,450 - DEF: 350 - XP: 10,240 - Gald: 9,870 - Items dropped: Reflect Ring - Steal: None - Elemental Info.: - AA: None - Weak: None - Strong: None - Strategy: Make a party of Lloyd, Sheena, Genis and Raine. Rameesh is his most powerful attack, dealing an insane amount of dmg to the whole party. A good idea, try using Unison attacks as often as you can, having Raine cast Ray and Genis Indignation, producing a compound EX Attack called Prism Stars, dealing over 20,000 dmg during the whole process. He has some descent spells in his arsenal, making good use of them all. He may not be as though as Kratos or Yggdrasill, but he might be quite challenging. ------------ After the battle, watch the scene and you'll receive 'Diamond' and Sheena learns "Summon: Origin". Please note here that the character with the higher affection towards you is the one who Mithos possesses, in my case, was Presea. The scene continues and an Animated cutscene takes place, destroying Heimdall in the process. Afterwards, when you regain control, you'll be at Heimdall. ________ __________________ / ___ _ \ / sx597 / \ \ / // / ___________________/_________________/ \// / \/ / Area #97 \ / /ales of Symphonia--------------< Heimdall > ~~~/_/~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\_____________________________________/ ~ - My lv.: Lloyd 70, Sheena 67, Raine 70, Genis 69 ~ Zelos 68, Regal 68, Colette 68 ~ - Enemies: None ~ o--Weapons/Armor/Items:-------------------------------------------------------o | None | o~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~o You need to evacuate the elves out of the village.

Examine the wooden bird next to the bed to have Wonder Chef appear and teach you how to make "Miso Stew". Now go down and talk to Dirk. Now you can customize some awesome stuff from Dirk. Return to Tethe'alla and we now have to go to Exire to continue the search of Recipes and Colette's Dog Sidequest. Where is it, you ask? Look at the map and search for a yellow dot on top of a large area of water. Have you found it? Good, now go there. ________ __________________ / ___ _ \ / sx502' / \ \ / // / ___________________/_________________/ \// / \/ / Area #102 \ / /ales of Symphonia--------------< The City in the Sky, Exire > ~~~/_/~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\_____________________________________/ ~ - My lv.: Lloyd 70, Sheena 67, Raine 70, Genis 69 ~ Zelos 68, Regal 68, Colette 68 ~ - Enemies: None ~ o--Weapons/Armor/Items:-------------------------------------------------------o | None | o~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~o From where you start, start going in Exire and speak to the dog with Colette as your avatar.
