This walkthrough was written by Fabian Chang, also known as "KADFC" on GameFAQS.
You'll need a hard drive or a memory card to save your game. You can play the game with neither of these, but you won't save your game nor get any achievements, but you probably know that.
* Item Hater Title for Y. If you want this title, you can't use any items in battle until a little bit after Part 1, when you're going back to Heliord.
Time to start the game. You'll be given an explanation of how this world works. Then you get a scene with your MC (Main character). Spoilers won't take place until I know for certain that the name stated is far beyond from what you should know.
T rushes in and talk to Y. Y is the person you're controlling. Watch the scene. You'll be introduced into...
| Wonder Log Magic Lens, 100 Gald, Magic Lens, Prison Key, Apple Gel, Magic Lens, Holy Bottle, Orange Gel, Life Bottle, Cape, Egg, Life Bottle, 200 Gald, Orange Gel, Apple Gel, Holy Bottle, Life Bottle, Orange Gel, Apple Gel |
| Life Bottle, Magic Lens, Apple Gel, Holy Bottle, 200 Gald, 150 Gald, Orange Gel, Orange Gel, Orange Gel x4, Melange Gel x4, Life Bottle x4, Bread x4, Egg x2, 500 Gald |
When you get control, press Back to see your First skit. This is your first chat with R (which is in fact an animal of a certain type). Then you may head S to save your game. Press A, then select a slot to save.
Head N and up the stairs to start a scene. After that, head N even more and into the next area. Once you're there, make your way to the left. You see a shop. Don't buy anything, not needed. You then encounter the Wonder Reporter. After that, you'll get the Wonder Log.
Now go back to the main menu. Go into Artes. Go down and you'll see 4 slots. The first slot have Azure Edge. Now put Azure Edge into all 4 slots. That way you can be doing anything and once you press B, you'll use that arte. Azure Edge is like... a long range fireball-like attack.
You can play with your equipment and skill menu, but there's nothing to do.
Go more N and up the stairs, another scene. After that, go a little bit north. Another skit can be scene. Go W and talk to the door of the home. Proceed E and check the ground for a Magic Lens. Go the W side and enter from that door.
Once inside, you'll see 2 paintings with candles. Check them to get 100 Gald and Magic Lens. Go up the stairs and talk to the leftest door. A scene starts. Now head out S through the main doors.
Once outside, you'll encounter Tweedle A and Tweedle B (not their actual names but nicknames). You'll need to battle them, which also comes with the Battle Tutorial.
Learn what you can from the Tutorial. Or you can keep tapping Y to get to the real battle.
After the battle, C shows up. The first letter actually starts with a C, I'm not making it up. You'll be captured. After all of that talking, you'll get the Prison Key, go trigger another skit, check your bed to get an Apple Gel. You may save your game.
Head W. To the right of that sleeping guard, get Magic Lens. Proceed a little to the left and check the boxes. You'll get your equipment back. Now W to the next screen. You'll be forced into a battle instantly.
There's 2 guards on the bottom floor and 1 on the middle, none on top. Check the boxes on the bottom floor on the left side for a Holy Bottle. On the middle floor, boxes on the right, to get an Orange Gel. Then go the center and into the tunnel/hallway. No enemies in here. Open the two chests for Life Bottle and Cape. Talk to the statue if you want. Proceed back into the place with 3 floors. Head to the top level and make to the W.
A scene and you'll be drawn into battle. After that battle, go N. Proceed N and a small scene. Y smells something good. Go the E and enter. On the SE, you'll see a painting on the right side, check near it to get an Egg. On the E side, check the food to restore your HP and MP. Now back into the main hall.
Head N and up the stairs. Go a little bit to the left and S to get a chest with a Life Bottle in it. Now head W. Save your game.
Proceed south. After meeting a guard, go into the left and enter a hole. Slowly go left and you see a chest, there's a guard nearby. 200 Gald. Head back to the right into the hallway. Now south. Another scene. F's room is mentioned. Go into F's room. A scene.
Another scene. Now you're back in the hallway. Go back into F's room. Check the northwestern closet for an Orange Gel. South central to find a chest near the bed, Apple Gel. From that, go left to get a Holy Bottle. Now back into the hallway. Now all the way south and then go left into the hole.
Another scene. Only one path, to the left hole. Then go north. Another scene Trigger a skit. Go north. Right after the first guard, go to the right hole. I guess you'll need to kill him. On the northeast side, trigger that to open the gate. It serves no reason, just something to do. Go back into the hallway. Proceed north now, and to the left hole.
Go south. There's a hole on the left side, not needed. Instead, keep going south and enter the right hole. As you go to the right, open the chest, Life Bottle. Open the gate if you want, but you'll probably need to fight that guy. Go to the left and back into the hallway. Should have the ability to trigger a skit. Head south and into that hole.
You should see an angel statue in the middle of the room, no guards on this screen. Chest at northeast corner, Orange Gel. Northwest chest, Apple Gel. Go to the left hole and talk to the angel. Head back to the first angel and talk to it. Triggers a scene. Trigger a skit. Yuri will be standing on the left side. Grab the angel and pull it to the left. Another scene. Climb down. Another talking part.
No guards, but monsters now. You'll be forced into a "link battle." For all of these monsters, use down normal to dispose of them. Another talking part. Skit. Go to the right, chest at northeast corner, Life Bottle. Head back to the left, and go south. You'll see a chest to the right, Magic Lens. Skit. Now make your way all the way to the left. Then south, see a chest to the south guarded by a monster, Apple Gel.
Go to the right. See two crates blocking a chest. Pull any of these crates outward. I pulled the north one to the north. Get the chest, Holy Bottle. Go south. Ignore the 2 crates, go the left. There's a chest, 200 Gald. Go back to the 2 crates. Pull the left one to the north. Get the chest, 150 Gald. Go to the right, then south. When you can go to the right, do so.
There's a chest, Orange Gel. Proceed to the northwest corner and there's ladder. Pull any crate to the right and climb the ladder. A scene. Quite Funny.
Now you're outside of that house. Time to get back to the lower quarters. Should be fairly easy. Keep on going to the east south direction. Keep going that way. A scene. L, A, and B (LAB?) talks to you. Keep going south now. A scene. Now go to Yuri's house. To the right of his bed, Orange Gel. Save.
Time to exit. From the save point, go north, then make your way to the south east part to trigger a scene. You get a half-assed world map. As well as: Orange Gel x4, Melange Gel x4, Life Bottle x4, Bread x4, Egg x2, and lastly 500 Gald.
Skit. Without moving the view, you'll see a bridge, cross that. Now you will see a paved road. That's your way to the next area. However, before that, as you're traveling along, to the right, you'll see a bunch of tents. They call this "King of Adventure Travelers' Lodge." Which is basically an inn on the roads that isn't apart of a city or town. There's a quite of few of these, but it depends on if you want to use them or not. Karen and Rich are the owners. Skit.
* KING OF ADVENTURERS: Encounter them twice to trigger their sidequest. The first time is on the way to Deidon Hold.
The second time is after your 4th member joins (including Repede), which is right after Halure.
Head back to the world map and proceed to Deidon Hold. A scene. Later on, a tutorial with equipments and etc... Save
| Magic Lens, Orange Gel, Milk + Egg, Apple Gel |
Go the west, then south. You should be curving down. Now to the northeast to see a bunch of crates, Magic Lens and Orange Gel. For starters, I went to buy weapons for everyone just to make sure that I'm up-to-date. Chances of me spending any more gald for weapons will be low because I will pick up all possible chests. You decide. Go back to where you got your tutorial, and head north and into the Guard Station, which has a door.
Once inside, go all the way north. Boxes on the right, Milk x1 + Egg x1. Go a little bit south for a chest, Apple Gel. Climb the ladder to the north.
* Up the stairs on the left and talk to that guy. Scene. Go back and save.
* (MINOR SPOILERS)... This guy is called....E K U D
.... Spell that backwards for his real name.
From the save point, go north and try to cross the bridge to trigger a scene It's quite long. Skit. Go to the west, another scene. K is quite hawt or at least she's my type. Skit. Exit Deidon Hold.
You'll now need to go North West. From Deidon Hold, to the west of that, there's this entrance that brings you to a higher altitude. After that stay away from the forest and keep on going west. As you keep on going, it's in between two mountain ranges. Look for a forest whose trees are different. Go into it.
| Apple Gel, Iron Circlet, Bread + Egg, Magic Lens, Hard Mail, Cape, Monster Collector, Life Bottle, (Sandwich) |
Scene. Go north, slowly progress east a little. There's a north and east route. Go east first. At the end of east, there's a chest, Apple Gel x1. Now go to the north route. As you go, it split into left and right. Use the left route. There's an enemy guarding a chest, Iron Circlet. Now go south and use the right route now. There's a chance that the enemy might be guarding it, wait or kill, you decide. Keep on going east. See a chest, can't get it though because it's a scene time. Learn about Cook in the process. Skit. Good skit. Hug the southern bushes, to the left maybe, check to get Bread x1 + Egg x1. Now go back to the chest that we couldn't get before (still on the north side), Magic Lens. Save point on the right side.
There's 2 skits. You may need to wait a long time for the other one to show up. From the save point, head south and east. A chest on the north side on the way there, Hard Mail. Keep going east and north. When you're about to go to the east again, a chest on the north, Cape. Go east. Scene. You get "Monster Book" as well as some extra baggage. Skit. Head back a little to see a chest, Life Bottle. Head north to exit to the world map. Scene.
As you go the WM, don't move. Look at the minimap on the upper right. There is a structure there. That's our next destination. Or in other words, go north and find a purple leaf'd tree, then enter it.
| Orange Gel, Magic Lens, Apple Gel |
Scene. To the right, house closes to the entrance is the major's house. Go into it. Check the right side to get Orange Gel (outside of circle). Go north and check the right side of that tree, Magic Lens. Exit Major's house.
No shops are working currently. Proceed to the west, cross the bridge. Scene Skit. The house to the right is where the inn is. Save.
At the inn, go up to where the rooms are. Go into the 2nd door from the left Check the desk on the right, Apple Gel. Exit the Inn. Go west and north. Scene. Go back to where you were originally were and keep going north. Scene. Skit. Head south and go east to cross the bridge. Head north to where the shop is and talk to him. Scene. Head little bit south and meet Karol near the bridge. Scene. Skit. Head to the right to the major's house. Find the major outside of his house. Talk to him to get the first needed item. Exit to the world map.
I did a small detour. I felt like getting stuff earlier than needed. Head northeastish. You'll see a mountain with holes in it, skip that. Keep going to the east. See a bunch of ruins, enter it.
Mysterious Ruins*
Items: Magic Lens, 800 Gald, Orange Gel, Life Bottle, Half Guard
(11111) <--- Search tag since you'll be coming to this place later on. This area is a little further into the game, but whatever. Little bit to the north. Hug the right side. You'll meet a chest, Magic Lens. Skit. All the way north and up the stairs on the right. A little more north and there's a chest hiding behind the pillar, 800 Gald. Down the stairs and hug the left to see a tree. There's a chest to the south of that which is hidden, Orange Gel. Proceed back to the entrance, now hug to the left. There's a chest on the south, Life Bottle. Now back to the entrance. Go all the way north. You should see a chest on the right side, Half Guard. That's about it. Exit this place, to the WM again.

| Orange Gel (I just forgot to double check previously), Item #2 and #3 that is needed to create the Panacea bottle |
Scene. As you go back, I forgot to get a chest. Hug the south and there's a chest, Orange Gel. Recall where the save point is and head there. As you arrive, scene. Item number 2 obtained, in some ways. The scene is great. Try to head back a little bit more, a scene. Time to battle.
Battling a bird, a wolf, and the main dish (Egg Bear). I got no strategy or tips for this guy. Just keep attacking. Free Run not needed. Scene. Head back to Halure. You'll trigger another scene and a few skits on the way.
| Life Bottle, Nectar Bottle, Holy Bottle |
Go the shop and talk. Time to use Synthesis. Pick Synthesis and make the Bottle. Simple as that. Head to the west and all the way north to where the Halure's Tree is. Scene. Another beautiful scene. Too bad I forgot to do a HQ for it, o well. Okay, back to work. Skit. Head north and check the grasses in front of the tree, Life Bottle. Go the right and open those two chests under the arch, Nectar Bottle and Holy Bottle.
Go south, talking part. Major gives you an order. Skit. There's a guy standing next to the shop keeper, it looks like he's reading something. He will give you "Today's suggested synthesis." Read them for fun, I guess. Proceed to major's house. Award time. Not. Bad E! :[
Try to exit Halure. Scene. On the WM, Skit. Remember where you saw that mountains with a lot of holes in it, go there. If not, go north east to find it. It's on the paved road as well. Enter it.
| Apple Gel x3, (Item) Collector Book, (Salisbury Steak) |
Scene. Approach the front entrance and talking time. Go to the left side. Locate the bouncing onion that is VERY HARD TO FIND. Not. This is the first Wonder Chef. You'll get Salisbury Steak. Approach the door now. Scene.

| Amber Cloak, Leather Boots, Sorcerer's Ring, Apple Gel, Ohka, Chain, Long Sword, Great Axe, Orange Gel, Stiletto |
Scene. Head to where the northern most chest was. Down a few stairs and hug the left to see a statue, a scene. Head down. Scene. Skit.
Proceed south and you'll notice 2 bridges. One leading to the left and the other to the south. Take the south bridge first. At that end there's a chest for Amber Cloak. Now take the left bridge. A chest to the southwest corner, Leather Boots. Up the stairs on the west, now south. Scene. Then go to the right. Scene. Use the Sorcerer's Ring and shoot at the crest with X. Another scene. Notice where the bridge raised. Approach it for a few tutorial battles
Cross the bridge. Chest to the north, Apple Gel. Head northwest for the next screen. Okay listen. Head to the north-most and center-most section, which is the one farthest back. Use the SR on the crest on the left side to activate a bridge on the left. Do note where it is. Cross that bridge and open that chest, Ohka. Use SR on the crest next to it to activate a bridge on the north right side. Cross it and a chest, Chain. From there, go south. You'll see a crest to the south of that, activate it. Open that chest as well, Long Sword. Now proceed to the northeastern hole.
A chest to your left with an enemy nearby (semi-hidden), Great Axe. Now to your right, save point. Save.
Keep on going to the right. Then north. Right after the first enemy, there's a crest on the pillar to your left, SR it. Keep on going north, up the stairs. SR the crest on the NW corner. Go south and hug to the left to cross the bridge. Then north and up the stairs. SR the crest to the NE corner. A little bit north for a chest, Orange Gel. Now all the way south, take the east bridge. Go up and hit that crest. This will make 4 enemies come out from the west side. You don't need to kill them, just the last one. But if you can't, you'll have to fight them. The very last one isn't even moving. Just SR it to get into a battle with it. When it's defeated the central's south bridge will be raised, as well as to a chest, Stiletto.
Now go north, scene. Boss time afterwards.
Now you'll need to go all the way back. On the way there, when the first bridge was raised, you'll encounter an enemy. Scene. Now head back to Aspios.
Head into Rita's place. Scene. A few skits on the way. Try to exit Aspio, scene, skit. Go and check Rita's Room. Check the upper left on the bottom floor, scene. This is required for Brionc and the only missable part. If you missed this part, the deadline is before entering Nor Harbor (just to be safe)
Scene. Go up to the Halure Tree and talk to Rita, scene. Skit. Try to exit Halure, scene. Tutorial Battle on using OL. Scene. WM. Skit. From here, locate the paved road on the west and follow it

Scene. Go north, another scene. You'll need to take the hidden route. Skits. At first, there's two routes, north and right. The separation is where you see the first enemy, which is a ladybug (I guess). So take the north route first.
As you get further on, a scene with flowers. Evil. Keep on going north, or hug north to arrive to a chest, Francisca. Go back and locate the flowers, go to the left and arrive at another chest, Poison Bottle x3. Skits. Now head back down south and take the right path.

| Paralysis Ward, Panacea Bottle, (Sorbet) |
Scene. Locate the Wonder Chef at the Southeaster corner, Sorbet learned. From where your members are at, to the right is the inn, which I suggest you save.
From your member's location, go north and then right into that alleyway. Scene, follow with a battle with 3 people saying "Cut" and "Slice." Defeat them. It should be an easy battle, in some ways, if you're not caught in their comboing. Scene. Finally shows up. Head to the Inn's south entrance. Talk to them. Talk to them again, say yes. Go north and enter the left room. Scene. Exit the inn. Go all the way north and play the Dice game with the Dice Master. If you beat him, Rita gets herself a new costume. You have to beat him 3 times a row. It's all about luck. If you're sick of it, let's continue.
Head west from the inn's entrance to the magistrate's home. Scene. Go back to the inn. Scene. On WM. Remember that route that lead to the forest, yes, we're going there. Along the way, near the fork, a scene. Now continue up into the forest. Many skits on the way. You can see him standing there and waiting patiently. Wasn't that easy to spot?
Rhybgaro. I'm not going to consider him a boss battle. He falls very, very easily. I don't even see him taking 100 HP of my life. Actually, he never got the chance to attack more than once and I dodged his first attack, which means... yeah. Scene after battle. Now head back to Capua Nor.
As you enter this port again, scene. Go into the inn and left door. Scene. Head to magistrate's home again. Scene. Before approach him, hug the south and check for 2 items, Paralysis Ward and Panacea Bottle. Now approach him, scene.
