*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*
> VIDEO:
+ Starlight Canyon starts here.
- Restore the origin points in Balance Valley.
- Before changing Balance Valley, Monica warns about a few things.
> Balance Valley has four plateaus.
+ The height of each field changes with the weight of things put onto it.
+ To rebuild Starlight Temple, the height of all four UST be the same (plateau
icons showing blue).
+ The plateaus are NOT connected (nor do they need to be).
- Use the Carpenterion to move between fields and the mainland area.
- The 4 plateaus are 'stand-alone' and away from the walls of the canyon.
- Two separate flat areas, along one of the Canyon walls, are connected by
a narrow wooden bridge.
> When the video is over, Max is standing near the Balance Valley Save point.
NOTE 1: The Save Point is on one of the flat areas close to the Bridge and near
the entrance to Starlight Canyon.
- When you exit Starlight Canyon, you come out close to the Save Point.
- The bridge connects this area to the area near Mr. Owl's House.
NOTE 2: Mr. Owls House is near the entrance to Balance Valley Station.
- Beyond his house is the Time Gate.
- When you come out of the station, you are near the time gate and can see
Mr. Owl's house.

*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*
> Jurak was restored to life by rebuilding Sindain.
+ In return, Jurak:
- Gave Max a 'Jurak Gun' (if you got 100%).
- Advised them both to seek for the Sage, Crest.
> The train took them to Balance Valley Station where there is a SAVE Point.
+ Taking the steps to Balance Valley leads to Mr. Owl's house.
- Mr. Owl says Crest is dead.
- His apprentice, Lin, is very ill.
+ Max gets Dr. Dell to visit Lin.
- He cannot help, but Monica remembers Lao Chao's Miracle Dumpling.
- It is supposed to heal anything.
+ Max and Monica decide they must restore Lao Chao's Bistro first.

> SHERIFF BLINKHORN.
+ He's outside the Police Headquarters (daytime only).
- No use talking to him while he is patrolling the Residential Park.
- If you talk to him just before sunset, he'll stay until you are done.
# He'll even wait after dark, if you want to try again immediately.
- He challenges Max to beat his own time (2 minutes 1 second) to the boat pier
and back.
+ How to beat his time:
- MAKE SURE FABIO HAS JOINED.
# If he is still on the pier, he will probably delay you.
- Cut every corner you can.
# Go between the posts and the wall beside Cedric's shop.
# Cut through between the posts and the shop awning supports (next to the
weapon shop).
- The game is RIGGED!!!
# When you approach the archway by the Church from either direction, the
view tilts so you can't see where to run.
* From either direction but it is worse when heading for the pond.
- Practice going through the arch both directions several times.
# When heading toward the pond:
* Memorize where to go along the moss and grass patterns so you pass the
third tree from the arch BEFORE changing direction.
+ At the start:
- Have Max stand slightly behind the Sheriff.
AND
- Face toward the direction Max must run.
# Press [X] to talk to the Sheriff.
* When he asks 'How about it, you want to try?"
* You have a choice:
Sure, I'll give it a try.
I'm not up to it.
* To try, move the pointer and press [X].
* Press [X] on the Sheriff's response and start running.
+ A WORD OF WARNING:
- You'll be tempted to press the [Left Analog] harder to make Max run faster.
DON'T.
# Max only runs at one speed.
* If you press harder, you'll switch to Monica.
* Since MAX has to finish the race, you waste time switching back.
+ On the way to the boat:
- Cut across the grass by the street lamp at the pier.
# Make sure you head for the center of the boat and press [X] as soon as
the red Exclamation Point appears.
# Quickly press [X] again and head back.
+ On the way back:
- Head for that third tree and cut around it.
# Head straight for the left edge of the arch.
# Then head straight for the right edge of the road as it goes around the
corner downhill.
# Cut all corners as you cross the drawbridge and pass on the inside of the
posts as before.
# Pass around the girl and head for the sheriff, pressing [X] as soon as you
reach him.
- It can be done in about 1 minute 58 or 59 seconds.
+ Sheriff Blinkhorn only has one ability:
- He shows you Monster Notes.
- But he is needed in the Balance Valley Georama to make it complete.

*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*
> The following items are now available.
> MORTON'S SUNDRIES.
Seal-Breaking Scroll ...... Breaks the seal on any floor (RED, BLUE or WHITE)
+ These scrolls are expensive (1,500 G.) but worth while.
- Using one as soon as you enter a sealed floor breaks the Seal.
# No restriction on who can walk the floor.
# No restriction on healing.
- You MUST exit through the Gate or the seal may be restored.
> WEAPON SHOP (both in Palm Brinks and Sindain).
Kubera's Hand (hammer) ... 500 G.
Gold Brassard ............ 350 G.
NOTE: Kubera's Hand only has one build up, Big Buck's Hammer.
- It took over 30 real time hours to raise the weapon.
- Big Buck's Hammer is not impressive.
> JURAK ARMS (Sindain Future)
Bell Trigger ............ 400 G.
+ Other items not available anywhere else:
Dryer Gun ............... 160 G.
Bone Rapier ............. 500 G. [Max can invent this.]
> Items not available elsewhere:
+ MUSHROOM BURGERS (Sindain Future)
Roasted Chestnut ........ 300 G.
Bomb Nut ................ 60 G.
> CEDRIC'S PARTS

completing Floor 2).

*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*
> In this chapter you should continue to raise Max and Monica's weapons.
+ If you don't have the weapons recommended for Chapter 2, go to the 2nd
Walkthrough and search (Ctrl+F) for the weapon name.
+ Suggestions for further build-ups are given below.
> The advice in this section is for between the beginning of Chapter 3 and the
end of Chapter 5.
+ Don't try to do it all at once.
+ Select one weapon for Max and one for Monica.
- When it reaches the recommended level, work on another weapon.
+ Although you should continue to level all weapons up through Chapter 5: Mount
Gundor.
- You won't be able to build any beyond the end points listed below until
Chapter 6 because that build-up require certain monsters to be defeated.
- The walkthrough for Chapter six will show when to use a particular weapon
for the Build-Up.
- But you can keep leveling up the weapons to the maximum shown in square
brackets, such as [125].
> TWO EXCEPTIONS:
+ Monster Transformations;
- To obtain the Wipe-Out Goal on some SC Floors, you need to upgrade a monster
Badge.
# SC Floor 4, allows you to get the Reptile Badge.
* Work on upgrading it to level 20 (at least) before trying to fill the
Wipe-Out goal on SC Floor 2.
* Directions are given on how to get the badge and how to upgrade it.
+ Monica's Armbands:
- You only have Lin for a short time.
- It is well worth the time you spend on upgrading four armbands.
- Upgrade paths are given after Barga's Valley (when you have Lin).
> A general rule:
+ It will take more time AND more levels to build a weapon:
- From an Attack value of 45-55.
- To an Attack value of 80-85.
+ Max doesn't have any help in building Wrenches.
- BUT put Gerald in the party to build GUNS.
- OR put Milane in the party to build SWORDS.
+ While LIN is in the party, work on ARMBANDS only.

+ Twin Buster:
- Need to defeat monsters for this upgrade.
- Included here so you can see the choices for Dark Viper.
+ Building these guns in SC takes a lot more Gun Repair powder than if you go
back to RBW.
- But there are more Synth Spheres.
- So carry 20 Gun Repair Powders when you start.

+ In Chapter 6, the Dark Viper must defeat:
- Pirate Eye
- Triple Cracker
NOTE 1: Question Shooter (Laser Gun).
- Has the 'Poverty' ability (less gilda).
- Synthesize a 'Wealth Coin" as soon as possible.
NOTE 2: Dark Viper.
- The Dark Viper has the ability 'Dark' where attack is up, but a small
amount of health is used each time you damage an enemy.
# To reverse Dark, synthesize a 'Bull's Eye' Coin.
NOTE 2: Soul Breaker (MACHINE GUN with medium-sized projectiles, slow fire.)
- The Soul Breaker has the Ability:
# 'Absorb' which sometimes allows damage to an enemy to be converted
to HP.
# 'Dark'.
> RECOMMEND:
+ Take the Magic Gun:
- To +5 and synthesize it to the Jurak Gun as soon as that has at least 5 Synth
Points (Jurak+2).
- Take the Dark Viper up to at least +10.
# To increase the Attack Value:
* Power crystal adds +2 for each crystal.
* Stamina Drink adds +1 for each bottle.
# To increase Durable (and the WHP goes up a little faster):
* Protector Crystal adds +2 for each crystal
* Repair Powder adds +2 for each bag.
* Gun Repair powder adds +2 for each bag.
> Reminder:
+ You can level up Dark Viper until it is ready to upgrade to Twin Buster.
- BUT Defeating the two monsters listed must wait until Chapter 6.
- The Build-Up must also wait until then.

+ Lamb's Sword has two 'personalities':
- Dark version with a wolf icon on the handle with an Attack value of 135.
- Light version has a lamb icon on the handle with low attack value of 45.
- The attack strength IS different:
# The dark version can defeat a 'Tore' with one hit.
# The light version needs three hits to defeat the Tore.
+ You never know when it will switch from one to the other.
- But the weapon seems to be the 'Lamb' about twice as long as the 'Wolf'.

1. The Church has been placed in Balance Valley (SC Floor 7).
2. You go to BARGA'S Valley and get the White Windflower.
3. You take the flower to Lao Chao (in the future).
4. Heal Lin.
+ Plan to build four different armbands.
- Athena's Armlet with FLAME attribute.
- Moon Armlet with CHILL attribute.
- Destruction Armlet with LIGHTNING attribute.
- Spirit Brassard with CYCLONE attribute.
+ While Lin is in your party, armbands increase Levels RAPIDLY.
- She's with you only until the last floor in SC.
- So take advantage of her while you can.
+ Details for developing these armbands is given after Barga's Valley.

> Use some parts you got in Rainbow Butterfly Wood in this Georama.
+ Placing the following items do not yet count toward completion.
- But you can get the four plateaus in balance.
+ Thorn Trees help to adjust the balance.
+ Make sure you have enough materials for these (and for other parts to be made).
# You'll pick up quite a lot of Georama/Invention material in this dungeon.
> You'll need at least the following amounts:
4x Pot Torches = 8x Rolling Log; 16x Sticky Clay; 4x Fire Element
15x Thorn Trees = 15x Forest Dew; 15x Earth Element; 15x Water Element
1x Wood House = 20x Rolling Log; 1 Sturdy Cloth; 1x Glass Material; 2x Sugar Cane
1x Straw House = 4x Rolling Log; 2x Rough Rock; 20x Bundle of Hay
> To Paint the Straw house roof, you need 10x Purple Paint.
> Place the items as follows and wait until all are in position before considering
the balance of the four fields.
+ Keep three of the Thorn Trees for later.
+ Keep the two of the Pot Torches for later too.
> Place:
+ Two pot torches and three trees on Field 1.
- Leave space for a (brick) house and Iron fence.
+ Place the wooden house and three trees on Field 3.
+ Place the Straw house and three trees on Field 2.
- Paint the house purple.
+ Place three trees near the edges of Field 4.
> Check the Field icons (lower right of screen).
+ When you were in the middle of placement, did you notice one of the fields was
lower than the others?
- When this happens, all field icons are colored red.
+ If you continued until all trees, etc., had been placed, then all fields
should be balanced (colored blue).
+ If not, use the rest of the trees for balance.
> Culture will be 10, but Analysis gives 0%.

> The Canyon bends in and out between cliffs.
+ In the center of the canyon is a wide river with wildly rushing water.
- Waterfalls drop from the canyon rim to join the river.
+ Above the water are bench-like flat areas (with a path) along the canyon walls.
- Wooden bridges enable Max and Monica to cross the gaps.
> Gate and Dungeon Keys:
+ The gate is a large tree trunk blocking the way.
- The gate key is 'Giant Meat'.
- You use it to get the Condor to pick you up and carry you to the next Floor.
+ There are no locked areas in this dungeon.
> There are several paths in this dungeon.
+ After completing Floor 5, you have the choice of two gates to exit.
- The Moon Path Gate has an icon of a blue new moon.
- The Sun Path Gate has an icon of a yellow sun.
- You could choose to exit through either one; HOWEVER...
# Before you can rescue Lin, you MUST get the Church which is essential
for restoring Lao Chao's Bistro.
# The Geostone for the church is along the Moon Path.
+ Since the game doesn't give numbers to floors (only titles):
- Floors in this Walkthrough are numbered in the order you need to complete
them.

+ Staying just out of reach, have Max wait with the camera focused on the
critter.

> When all monsters have been defeated:
+ Have Max run through the Canyon throwing rocks until he finds the one
containing Ridepod Fuel.

- Without moving from this location, refuel the Ridepod.
- Then wait just long enough to pick up the can of fuel.

- He thinks he's going to die and asks his mother to call a priest.

longer or he won't go to heaven.
- Max is indignant and says "That stinks!" and his mother laughs.
> It is not possible to fill this Wipe-Out goal yet.
+ NONE OF THE CHAPTER 1 OR 2 MONSTER BADGES ARE STRONG ENOUGH.
- Not even if they are raised to Level 26 (level of first evolution).
- And it takes a LOT LONGER to raise these earlier Badges.
+ You will have the chance to get the Wind Gemron Badge in Floor 4.
- However, until the Badge reaches at least Level 20, it is not
strong enough.
# It takes too many hits defeat the Elfas.
# Each hit takes away some of the Monster Morph Power (red gauge).
# The Badge runs out of Morph Power too quickly even if Monica
walks the floor between attacks.
- Even at level 20, the Morph Power barely lasts long enough

+ DON'T use the Grenade Launcher or Dark Viper:
- Too much damage.
- The explosion as the grenade hits the statue hides the waking up moment.
+ The Bell Trigger is best.
> Stand far enough away that it doesn't wake up.
+ Creep forward until the upside-down triangle shows above its head.
+ Lock-On before you fire.
+ You need to fire the gun then quickly press [Square] so you can take the

# Switch to the Badge Box and transform with the Reptile Badge.
+ Depending on how soon you find the Wind Gemron, you should be able to bring
the Badge up 2 or 3 levels (just finishing the floor).
- BUT DON'T USE THE TRANSFORMATION TO FIGHT (too weak yet)!!!

** LEVELING UP THE REPTILE BADGE **
*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*
> DON'T go to Barga's Valley until the Reptile Badge has reached Level 20.
+ Otherwise you keep getting Spheda at the end of a floor.
+ And you don't yet want to rescue Lin.
> Badge Build-Up:
+ You can go to earlier dungeons.
+ In Starlight Canyon the Badge's Morph power is used up too soon.
- But using the Ridepod to defeat monsters then switching to the Badge to pick
up experience points will work.
+ Continue working through to Floor 7 to get the Church then floors 8 and 9.
- Then keep returning to Floor 9 (24 Gemrons to defeat).
# When disguised as the Wind Gemron, Monica can talk to all reptiles.
- The Badge can defeat all the Gemrons on Floor 9.
# Repeat the floor until the Badge reaches Level 20.
- It's taking advantage, but the Gemrons don't fight back!!!
> NOTE:
+ One problem with leveling up the Reptile Badge:
- The amount of experience any Badge gets from a single monster, reduces over
time.
- With 20 monsters on floor 9, at first it is quite a lot of Exp, but after a
number of times through the floor, Exp will reduce to 20 Experience Points.
+ The Badge levels up as soon as 100 Experience Points are received.
> LEVELING UP:
+ After several levels, the Badge's name changes, so do some of the stats.
- Most Level-ups bring a small increase in Attack.
- But Shield levels only increase when the Badge name changes.
+ Level 26 allows the badge to evolve to the Ice Gemron.
- Then you have two choices for monster morph on a dungeon floor.
- Ice Gemron still has the name 'Regular Dragon' but:
# Attack is 66.
# Shield is 30.
- When Monica morphs to the Ice Dragon:
# The absorption of blue Synth Drops increases the experience levels of
BOTH the Wind Gemron and the Ice Gemron at the SAME TIME.
* Even though Monica switches to only one of them.
* Because of its higher Attack level, switch to the Ice Gemron.
NOW GO TO WORK...

# If you want a change:
* Try RBW Floor 1 (24 monsters).

- Thunder Gemron is weak, it takes 3 hits at Badge levels 10-12.
- Fire Gemron, Wind Gemron, Ice Gemron require 5 hits.
- Holy Gemron is fairly strong, takes 7 hits.
+ When you are at Level 20, try to fill the Floor 5 Wipe-Out Goal.
- Have Monica walk the floor between monsters to save Morph Power.
- DON'T THROW ROCKS AT ANY OF THE MONSTERS!!!
# That will prevent a Wipe-Out.
# Floor 5 is slightly easier (no Masked Tribesman) then Floor 2.

- To raise the Gemron Badge to the evolutionary point:
# First complete the two Monster Transformation Goals.
# Then go back into Floor 9 until a total of about 900 Gemrons are defeated.

** BARGA'S VALLEY **
*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*
> VIDEO:
+ Barga drops Max and Monica in the Valley and comes to rest on a large rock.
- Max tells her they don't want to fight, just ask her something.
- Monica asks if Barga can help them look for the White Windflower.
- She says no because of the Blue 'Something' in her nest.
# It is a Distortion which are either red or blue.
# She can't get near the place to feed her children.
- Monica explains that when Griffon disturbed the flow of time, time warped
and the distortions formed.
+ Max asks how can they get rid of it?
- Monica says that a fragment will fall out of the distortion and land near by.
- By hitting the fragment into the distortion, the distortion will go away.
- Barga promises to help, if they will get rid of the distortion for her.
+ Monica looks around for the fragment.
- Finding it, she says it is also called a Sphere.
- You cannot touch it with your bare hands; you have to use a long stick.
> You have control so that Max can look for the stick.
+ It is on the ground below the nest.
+ When you find it, talk to Monica again.
> You have to listen to the next part of the VIDEO (cannot skip).
+ There is a Distortion, a large donut-shape, and a fragment called a Sphere.
+ Either one can be red or blue.
+ Monica talks about 'Taking a Shot' (hitting the Sphere).
+ 'Bumping' (when the Sphere bounces against something) causes the sphere to
change color.
- Distortions must be plugged with a Sphere of the OPPOSITE color.
- Number of Shots is limited.
+ Doing this is called 'Spheda'.
+ There are several messages that describe the process of making the shot.
+ Help items: Spheda 1, Spheda 2 are added to the Help Menu.

** GET RID OF THE DISTORTION **
*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*
> Standing beside the Sphere and looking toward the nest, there is a large gray
hollow and beyond it is a huge rock that hides the nest.
+ To the left of this rock there's a gap and you can see a waterfall and canyon
walls.
+ To the left of the gray hollow is a small rock (the one Barga landed on).
- The simplest way to get the Sphere into the distortion is to 'gently' hit the
ball to just beyond that rock (through the gap between rock and hollow).
+ Start by pressing [X] for the first time.
- Then use [Left Analog] to put the dotted yellow line down as far as it will
go and point it straight between rock and hollow.
- Press [X] when the yellow-orange band extends about one third along the
power guage.
- Wait for the indicator to hit the left end of the gauge and start returning
- Press [X] when the return indicator is in the PINK area so you don't hit too
hard.
- The Sphere should land at the bottom of the cliff and in sight of the
distortion.
- If you didn't hit too hard, it should still be red.
+ If it is not in sight of the distortion, you can call the Sphere to you,
- By standing where you CAN see the Distortion and pressing [Square].
- It is O.K. to give up a shot as long as you are standing where you can see
the distortion when you do so.
+ DON'T adjust the yellow dotted line for this shot - it is just right.
- Let the yellow-orange band go about three quarters along the green guage.
- On the return, try to get as close to the center marker of the Impact Zone.
+ The sphere should go into the distortion.
- If you miss you get two more chances to try the shot, before Monica takes
over.
> Barga flies to check out her chicks then flies to the Boulder again.
+ As she bows to them and asks how she can repay them, Monica and Max both see a
White Windflower growing out of Barga's hat!
- She leaves after dropping a 'Swan' Spheda Rod into Max's hand, saying it
fell out of the Distortion
> SAVE BEFORE GOING ON - You don't really want to repeat that Spheda Explanation
do you?

** RESTORE LIN **

> Go to Lao Chao's Bistro and press [Square] to give him the White Windflower.
+ He makes the Miracle Dumpling and gives it to you.
+ They leave as Lao Chao calls: Hope it does the trick.
> Go to the present and Mr. Owl's house.
+ Press [Square] to give Lin the Dumpling.
> VIDEO:
+ She wakes up and asks Argo (Mr. Owl) why she is here.
- She asks why Crest didn't wake her before he left.
- Monica realize she has lost her memory.
- When Argo tries to tell her that Crest is dead, she thinks he's joking.
- Argo says she has amnesia.
+ Argo tells the story:
- Lin and Crest had gone to inspect the Moon Crystal which was at the
Lighthouse.
- A flying Warship appeared and opened fire on the Lighthouse.
- He says that Crest gave his life to save the Moon Crystal
- Argo says Lin came and told him all about it.
- But she doesn't believe the story.
> Monica says we can go and save Crest right now.
+ If your memories return, you can help us save Crest.
- Argo says theat Lin's memories are crucial to saving Crest, she MUST
remember.
+ Max says we must go to the Cape Lighthouse.
- Lin joins.
- If anyone was in your party, they have returned to the train.
> Go to the future.
+ A new shop 'Star Items' has opened on the fourth platform.
- Monica thinks it might have a Starglass which can reverse the flow of time.
- But it will only turn back to a moment of deep significance to the person
who uses it.
- If they use the Starglass to go back into Lin's memories, they'll be able to
go back to when Crest and Lin were attacked.
- It won't work unless Lin can get her memory back.
> Go into the Star Items shop.
+ On the left is a cabinet with an idea for Max.
Bottle + Chinese Lantern + King Mardan (Scoop)
- This makes Stamina Drink; you need:
2x Tasty Water + 30x Super Hot Pepper + 5x Mighty Healing.
+ On the opposite side of the Shop:
- Cabinet with the idea:
Milk Can + Chimney + Peeping Pole
- This makes Steve's Milk Can Body (the Clown Body is stronger).
10x Glass material + 40x Scrap of Metal.
- Switch to Monica to lean that Sewer Rats have a weakness for Cheese.

** PLAY SPHEDA TO HEAL MINA **
*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*
> Have Monica talk to Mina (just inside the Town Hall).
+ You have to get rid of ten distortions:
- UC Floors 1, 2, 3, 5, 6.
- RBW Floors 1, 2, 3, 5, 6.
> Spheda (and get Mina).
+ The following is a BRIEF explanation (no room for more).
- If you need more, try the FAQ: "Improved: How to Play Spheda."
> There are several gauges on the Spheda Screen.
+ The Power Gauge (blue) along the bottom of the screen.
+ The Impact Zone (red and pink) to the right and directly under the Power Gauge.
- Center of the Impact Zone is a vertical bar that shows the 'perfect aim'
point.
+ 'Power Shot' gauge at the RIGHT end of the Power Gauge shows the maximum
distance you can hit the ball in the direction of the yellow dotted line.
- Adjust the dotted line up or down or left and right to change the distance
and direction the sphere is to be sent.
+ Advanced Techniques Control (round blue circle to the LEFT of the Power Gauge
with a red dot in the center).
- Not discussed here.
+ Top right shows how many hits you have and the distance to the Distortion.
- The distance does not allow for corners you have to get the sphere around.
> Stand beside the Spheda Sphere:
+ Make sure a Spheda Rod is equipped.
+ Put the map of the dungeon in the center of the screen.
- Map helps you decide the direction you'll hit the sphere.
- The Distortion shows as a solid dot (red or blue).
- The Sphere is a blinking dot (also red or blue).
+ You can move the map so you can see the location of both the sphere and the
distortion.
+ Press [X] to bring up the Power Gauge.
> For the shot:
+ Press [X] to hit the sphere.
- If you have more than one shot remaining, the game asks if you
want to be moved to the Sphere.
- Select 'YES' as it saves a lot of walking.
+ When the Spheda Sphere bounces, it usually changes color with each bounce.
- If the Sphere goes 'Off Course' but it bounced, your next shot may be with
a Sphere that has changed color.
+ You can bounce the sphere off items such as:
- Walls, cliffs, trees, rocks.
- Watch out for hazards, such as water channels.
+ Continue making shots until either:
- You are successful.
- Or the shots are all used up and sphere and distortion disappear.
NOTE 1: BACKSPIN
+ If you:
- Have only one shot left;
- You are really close to the Distortion;
- AND your Sphere is the wrong color:
+ Use Backspin (after starting the shot, pull [Left Analog] toward you).
- Keep the orange power bar short.
NOTE 2: SNEAKY TRICK:
+ You may be ab le to get a better shot:
- If you are down to one (exactly one) shot left.
AND
- The sphere is almost but not quite in sight of the Distortion.
- Go stand where you can see the distortion (must be fairly close to the
Sphere).
- Test by moving and pressing [Square].
- When you have found the best place, press [Square].
# The Ball will move to you "for the last time".
# This should make for a straight-line shot.
> By the time you have gotten every Spheda medal in the first three
dungeons, you should be getting pretty expert!!!

** MONICA'S ARMBANDS **
*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*
> You need:
+ Thorn Armlet.
+ Platinum (or Crystal) Brassard.
+ Gold Brassard (from Julia).
EITHER
+ Buy a Bandit Brassard from 'Star Arms' in the future (700 G).
OR
+ Have Max invent and make one (must have at least one Bandit Coin):
Ideas = Clock + Gold Store + Show Window
Materials = 1x Bandit Coin + 10x Hunk of Copper +10x Wind Element
> Lower level weapons build faster.
+ You can 'save' Synthesis Points from several Level-Ups.
- Weapon will level up faster when you DON'T upgrade with synthesized Crystals.
- Hold off Building Up until you have at least 20 Synth Points (4 levels with
Lin in the party).
- Even better to hold off until you have 30-40 Synth Points.
+ NOTE: each time a weapon is built up (name of weapon changes), some of the
attribute values will naturally increase.
> When you have raised the four armbands to the end levels indicated, there is only
one choice for raising each to the next level.
+ In the box attribute charts below, the values given in parentheses, such as
(33) are the ADDITIONAL values need to get to the named armlet.
~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
1: DESTRUCTION BRASSARD (Lightning).
+ Start with the Gold Brassard:
- Because it is the least strong of the brassards you have, build its first
levels in the Underground Channel.
- You need to change the armband's major attribute from Fire to Lightning, so:
- Upgrade Lightning FIRST and keep its value as MORE than Flame.
(Start)--> Gold+4 -->Crystal+7-->Platinum+7 -->Destruction Brassard
_____________________________________________
Attack | 22 [45] | 32 [45] | 50 [60] | 80 [110] |
Flame | 18 [45] | 28 [45] | 54 [60] | - |
Lightning| - |(33)[45] | (60)[60] | 90 [125] |
Smash | - | - | (30)[60] | 90 [125] |
|_________|_________|___________|___________|
FIRST: level up the weapon to Gold Brassard+4 (gives 17 Synth Points).
- Use 11 points to synthesize 11 Lightning Crystals.
- Use 4 points to synthesize 4 Flame Crystals.
- Use the last two points to synthesize 2 Destruction Crystals.
- Then use 'Build Up' to get the Crystal Brassard.
NEXT: Level Up to Crystal Brassard+7 (35 Synth Points).
+ Synthesize in this order:
- Increase Lightning to between 57 and 60 (about 8 or 9 crystals).
- Increase Smash to 30 (about 8 Crystals).
- Increase Durable by 6 (3 Crystals).
- Increase Flame to 54 (about 7 or 8 Crystals).
- Increase Attack to 50 (about 2 Crystals).
- That should leave about 5 Synth Points.
+ Build Up to Platinum Brassard BEFORE USING THESE SYNTH POINTS.
- The build-up may increase the Flame attribute to higher than the Lightning
Attribute.
# If so, increase Lightning with at least 2 Crystals.
- Then use any remaining Synth points to upgrade Smash.
+ PLATINUM BRASSARD comes with the ability: 'Wealth' built in (icon of a Gold bag
on a green background).
+ The Destruction Armlet is the *lowest* of the three choices available for the
Platinum Brassard.
+ Values needed to build to the DESTRUCTION Armlet are in the last box.
- Raise the level of the Platinum Brassard to +7 or +8 for 35-40 Synth points.
- You will need to use about 10 Power Crystals to raise the Attack Value to 80.
- Use the rest to get Lightning and Smash to 90.
+ I had cleared nine of the ten Distortions for getting Mina and was working on
the 10th when I was able to Build-Up to the Destruction Armlet.
- As soon as you have cleared the ten Distortions go to City Hall to get Mina.
~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
2: ATHENA'S ARMLET (Fire).
+ This is the 'natural' upgrade for the Gold Brassard (major attribute is fire).
- You should have at least the Crystal Brassard already.
- If you used the regular upgrades to get to the Platinum Brassard, you will
need to build the Exorcism attribute from scratch.
+ You'll probably have to take the Platinum Brassard to +8 or +9.
- It will build faster if you don't increase attributes before you have at
least 45 Synth Points.
# To build Exorcism from zero to 90 will require 30 Exorcism crystals.
# To build Flame will require approximately 10 or 11 Flame Crystals.
# You may need to synthesize Power Crystals too.
(Start)-->Crystal-->Platinum-->Athena's Armlet
___________________________________________________
|Attack | 24 [45]| 32 [60] | 50 [110] | 80 [125] |

|Exorcism| - | - | - | 90 [125] |
|________|________|_________|__________|__________|
NOTE: Although the Crystal Brassard does NOT require Exorcism, it is faster to:
- Increase Crystal's Exorcism to AT LEAST 36 BEFORE Building Up.
~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
3: SPIRIT BRASSARD (Cyclone).
+ Pocklekul's requirement for the Cyclone attribute is only 54 (same as Chill)
- This would make Chill the major attribute.
- To make Cyclone the major attribute, always keep Cyclone AT LEAST 3-6
attribute points above Chill.
- The maximum Durable for the Thorn Armlet is 39.
- The values given below are the minimum needed to build to the listed armlet.
+ If you would like a head start, increase Beast to 36 before building Thorn
Armlet to Pocklekul.
- That would be an additional 12 Synthesis Points or 4 extra levels.
+ Spirit Brassard is the middle choice of three for the Pocklekul.
Bandit Brassard-->Thorn Armlet-->Pocklekul--> Spirit Brassard

~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
4: MOON ARMLET (Chill).
+ Level up to Thorn Armlet+10 before building to the Moon Armlet.
+ Additional attributes:
- Add 'Chill' to the Bandit Brassard BEFORE building it to the Thorn Armlet.
# Even though it is not *required* until you have the Thorn Armlet, it is
easier if you start increasing Chill earlier.
# Keep the Chill value EQUAL TO or ABOVE the Cyclone value.
- Before building the Thorn Armlet to the Moon Armlet:
# Increase Scale to 30.
# Increase Smash to 21.
+ Bandit Brassard comes with the Steal Attribute.
- When it is built up to Thorn Armlet, the Abilities: 'Poverty' and 'ABS Up'
are added.
# As soon as you can, synthesize a Wealth Coin (golden coin with a gilda bag
on it) to get rid of 'Poverty' (fewer gilda).
Bandit Brassard --> Thorn --> Moon Armlet

ease.

turned up.

there.

- He tells Lin to fulfill his dream.
- She says, "No. You're going to be a sage, one who helps by just being there."
- He replies, "That would be nice..." and he has gone.
> Lin continues to hold Crest and looks up at the night sky.
+ She says that to her, he was already a sage... For ages and ages.
+ Then she says: "I'll be the sage you've always dreamed of becoming."

+ Then down at its base, you see Lin talking to Max and Monica.
- Max is sad because they couldn't save him.
- Lin says: "No! You're wrong. The Future has changed. Now I'm going to be a
sage. And I think I'll rescue him when I become a sage myself."

promised."
- Max: "Don't tell me! Lin!"
- Monica: "No way!"
+ Lin has taken on her teacher's name.
- She says we shall see about Griffon.
- You're shown a panoramic view of the Crystal.
+ Lin sees through the Crystal that Griffon is 10,000 years in the past.
- He is sending a powerful Consciousness to our time.
- His servants are those who are in sympathy with that Consciousness but they
are not controlled:
# They're doing it of their own free will.
- They are evil like Griffon who is planning on destroying the world.
- The only way to destroy him is to go back to Griffon's time.
+ Monica asks how can they go back 10,000 years?
- Their Atlamillia only go 100 years!
- Madame Crest doesn't even know if it is possible.
- But if it can...

Veniccio Coast.
- Max: "Was? So. Veniccio Coast is next." and they leave.
+ Lin looks up at the night sky and sees Crest's face.
- She asks him to watch over those who saved her.
+ Max turns and looks up at Lin.
- He is sure the Crest has become a star and is looking down from above.
+ Next they approach Cedric by the train.
- He says: "We're all set to go. Tell me when you're ready."

above the stairs (Witch Parfait).

- There are still so many things I haven't seen.
- Right now, I want to see them all.
