> In Chapter 5, you were required to:
+ Build the georama in Heim Rada;
+ Destroy the Fire Squall to stop the fiery rain;
+ Defeat Gaspard in both his ordinary form and his ultimate form.
+ Restore the Origin Point of Paznos, the Rebel Army's mobile Stronghold.
> You learned:
+ Gaspard's story showing why he is filled with hate.
+ Griffon is able to control Gaspard and change him into his ultimate form.
+ Griffon sounds like an 8-year old boy (you do NOT see him, you only hear his
voice).
+ Why Max's Mother must stay in the future.
> When all tasks were completed, you returned to the future Luna Lab.
+ The train Ixion had been finished.
+ You boarded the train and it took you to Griffon's time ~~ Ten thousand years
in the past.

+ Professor Osmond waits outside the train.
- If you want Cedric, Borneo, and/or Erik, they are in Heim Rada.

** UPGRADING WEAPONS **
*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*
> Getting ready for the beginning of Chapter 6:
+ Check Monica's armbands.
- You need to upgrade at least one of her armbands for the fight with Griffon.
# Using Monica's armband is better because you don't have to turn to aim.
* Just keep firing.
* I found the one with Cyclone magic was best.
- In the fight, Griffon keeps dodging and Max's gun keeps missing as a result.
> RECOMMENDATION:
+ You should take Monica's 'Spirit Brassard' to the attribute levels of:
- Attack .... 125
- Cyclone ... 125
- Smash ..... 125
+ Any other attribute you care to raise.

*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*
** ADDING COINS TO WEAPONS **
*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*
+ Add these coins first:
- INDESTRUCTIBLE + BULL'S EYE + TIME.
# These are the most valuable as far as weapon strength is concerned.
- INDESTRUCTIBLE reduces 'wear and tear' on the weapon.
- BULL'S EYE increases damage against the enemy.
- TIME (at random) stops the enemy for a few moments (long enough to get in
two or three extra hits).
+ Other useful coins:
- Only one of either HEALING or ABSORPTION can be added:
# HEALING ...... allows Max or Monica's HP to restore as they walk.
# ABSORPTION ... allows their HP to restore as they fight.
# A combination is effective, for example: a right hand weapon has 'Healing'
and a left hand weapon has 'Absorption'.
- WEALTH ....... increases Gilda found after defeating a monster.
- EXPERIENCE ... increases the amount of ABS gained when a monster is defeated.
- BANDIT ....... allows items carried by a monster to be 'stolen' but it doesn't
work every time the weapon is used.
- POISON ....... may cause A monster to be poisoned, but usually it is defeated
before the poison can have much effect.
+ DON'T ADD 'DARK'
- If the weapon already has it, get rid of it with a BULL'S EYE coin.
- DARK will increase damage against the monster BUT HP is taken away to do it.
# This isn't too bad in the earlier stages of weapon development.
# But once weapons get to the level where monsters are needed for the upgrade, it REALLY uses up HP FAST.

> VIDEO: Ixion lands in front of a desert castle and Max, Monica, and Professor
Osmond exit from the train.
- The scene is dim and darkened.
+ Max: So this is ten thousand years ago...
+ Monica: It is kind of gloomy.
+ Max: Look. There's only one moon in the sky.
> VIDEO: The sky is dark with a sunset-like pattern along the horizon behind the
castle.
- The moon is a dark orange.
+ Monica: What's going on? Did we land in a whole different world?
+ Osmond: I guess even the sky looked different in this time.
+ Next you see the three walking toward a huge gate.
- A SAVE Point is beside the gate.
> VIDEO continues.
+ Monica: So Emperor Griffon is somewhere in there, huh?
+ Max: Yes... I can feel him... Griffon... He's in this palace.
+ Monica: Finally. Time to set things right.
+ Osmond: I'll wait for you here. I hope that all goes well.
+ Max: OK! Let's get going.
> Video ends with Max (or Monica) on a cobblestone path looking toward the gate
and Save point.
+ SAVE!!
NOTE: All the people who were still on the Blackstone One train have come on Ixion
too.

- It too is dark and dingy.
+ Max: I wonder what Emperor Griffon is really like.
+ Monica: Nobody's ever seen him. He controls his followers from the past.
- I don't know exactly what he is like, but I'm, certain that he has
tremendous magical powers!
+ Max: He's caused enough suffering for everyone. We'll stop him for sure.
+ Monica: Right! (the castle doors are open)
- Looks like we're invited in.
+ Max: Then let's go!

- Then you get a close-up of Max and Monica.
- Then a view of the foyer.
# There are several alcoves with paintings of gardens.
# There is also a stairway up to blue-colored doors.
- After viewing the whole room, the camera view shifts to the top of the
stairs and comes to a stop.
+ There is a person wearing a long, dark blue hoodie.
- A dark face with red glowing eyes peer out at them.
- He starts down the stairs.
+ Person: You've come here. Excellent.
Just like myself! No wonder the Atlamillia chose me.
(continues down the stairs).
+ Monica: What, you're Emperor Griffon? You must be joking.

me. Well, no matter. A name is but a name.
- ... Yes. It is I.
- The one you would call Emperor Griffon, the ruler of darkness!
That is me. (Laughs again)
> Person is shown on the stairs with his title: Emperor Griffon.
+ Max: Griffon! You're going to pay!
+ We then get a close up of Griffon and he looks like Pau!

** THE FIGHT STARTS **
*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*
> Not a nice fight.
+ Griffon's attacks:
- From a distance he throws roses.
# As soon as you see them appear on either side of him:
* RUN SIDEWAYS.
* They will follow you, so keep moving until they stop.
- When he comes close up, he bends his ears over and does a magic strike.
# The magic circles around him.
* IF IT HITS, IT TAKES OUT A LOT OF HP!!!
- WHEN THOSE EARS BEND OVER, DON'T WAIT AROUND.
# YOU HAVE JUST BARELY ENOUGH TIME TO MOVE OUT OF CONTACT WITH THE MAGIC.
> FIGHT STRATEGY:
+ This is a LONG fight.
+ Monica's magic does MUCH better than Max's gun.
- Partly because her magic automatically seeks the enemy.
- I found the best magic was 'Cyclone'.
+ I found quickly firing without waiting for Monica's magic to build up was
better in the long run.
- Just keep firing, but be prepared to:
# HEAL!!!
# DODGE!!!
# MOVE SIDEWAYS WHEN YOU SEE THE ROSES BEING GATHERED!!!
+ Later, you'll switch to the Ridepod.

** INTERMISSION **
*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*
> When you have removed about half of Griffon's HP:
+ Suddenly the screen goes black.
+ You hear Griffon:
- Humans don't truly appreciate the value of existance.
+ You see Max, bright flash of light.
+ You see Monica, and another bright flash of light as she says: Excuse me!
+ Then you see both of them against a black background.
- A flower appears between them.
- As Max reaches for it, it disappears in sparkles.
+ Griffon's Voice:
- It's because of humans that suffering spreads throughout the world.
- I won't forgive you humans. I won't lose to you any more.
+ Max: What do you mean?
- They fade to black.
+ Griffon: (angrily) You see! Even you don't understand! You should be wiped
out of existence.
- The background brightens, but you don't see either Max or Monica.
+ Griffon: (emphatically) All of you should be wiped out!

** THE FIGHT RESUMES **
*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*
> You are back in the fight - WATCH OUT!!!
+ Stay with Monica at first, firing rapidly.
+ When Griffon's HP is down to less than one quarter:
- Switch to the Ridepod with the Nova Cannon.
- Keep firing and dodging if necessary.
- Watch the WHP (you'll need to fill up with 2x Repair Powder at least once).
NOTE: If you can get Griffon at the left edge of the screen, it's as if he gets
'stuck'.
- The Ridepod can keep firing and doesn't get hit.
> When Griffon's HP is gone, the screen goes black for a moment.
+ Griffon is down on his knees.
+ Griffon: Urgh. Quite impressive... I am... finished.
+ He collapses on the floor.
> Monica and Max walk up to the body.
+ Monica: We won...?
+ Max: Be careful.

** GRIFFON'S PLAN **
*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*
> Suddenly, Griffon wakes up.
+ He snatches both the Red AND the Blue Atlamillia and leaps into the air.
+ Max: No!
+ Monica: Damn!!
+ Griffon: He-he-he I've got them. This is what I wanted.
- With this, it will all be mine!
> Griffon is holding the two stolen Atlamillia in his hands.
+ He begins to shudder, the Atlamillia begin to glow and a yellow glow forms
around him.
- The glow brightens and it is as if there is an explosion.
- When the glow fades, Griffon has changed form.
# He's a monster with blue wings.
# He snarls: Grrrrrraaaahhhh! (claps his wings and a wind blows into Max
and Monica)
- The golden Atlamillia is in his forehead.
- His voice has changed and is much deeper.
> VIDEO continues:
+ Griffon: Now then, why don't we get started. It's time to... purify this world.
- Have you heard the legend of these stones?
+ Monica: The legend of the stones...
- "He who obtains the three Atlamillia receives the power of the
stars."
+ Griffon: That's right. That's exactly how it goes.
- However... these stones have another role as well... A somewhat
different role.
+ Monica: Huh?
+ Griffon: In these stones is enough power to destroy the world...
- The ancients feared the people of the future.
# Humans are dangerous creatures, possessing both wisdom and even
greater greed.
- They knew that once humans built up their civilizations and gained
great powers, they would end up harming the planet itself.
- So in order to ensure the planet could go on living forever, they
came up with a special contrivance.
- "The Star of Oblivion."
+ Max (questioning) Star of Oblivion?
+ Griffon: If humans controlled by greed were to learn of the existence of the
Atlamillia capable of giving them the ultimate power, they would be
certain to start a war to try to become ruler.
- And they would ultimately fall into the hands of the one with the
most power.
- When that time comes, all life on the world would be wiped out, and
the greed in this world would finally be erased.
- Time and again, throughout the world's history there have been mass
extinctions...
- But this tale of ruin and destruction definitely won't be making it
into the annals of history.
> Close-up view of Griffon's face.
+ It is a dark grey with dark red hair and beard.
+ Griffon: Finally the great disaster shall fall upon the world...
- The Star of Oblivion will realize its true glory.
+ Monica: What are you talking about? If you do that, you'll be destroyed along
with everything else!
+ Griffon: Me? Hahaha! That was my plan all along.
- I will be swept up in the cataclysm along with all of you fool
humans. That will be my fate.
- Everything will disappear from the face of the World.
- And then... a new world shall take place.
- That's how it will be... How it was always meant to be...
+ Max: I won't let you do it.
+ Griffon: (laughs) Ha! And just how are you going to stop me?
- This is out of your hands now.
- The change has already begun. Nothing can stop it now.
- He he... But just waiting around for it to happen would be no fun
at all.
- I think I'll erase everything from the world just before the real
destruction begins.
- Just sit back and watch.
> Griffon clenches his hands and Max and Monica brace themselves for whatever is
coming.
+ Griffon looks up and raises his hands high above his head.
- A mist forms around him and the palace begins to tremble.
- Max and Monica brace even more.
+ Monica: (a little scared) What? What are you doing?
- Everything goes dark for a moment.
> View switches to outside the palace.
+ Brown spikes shoot out of the ground.
- A view of the whole palace shows that it is surrounded by these Spikes.
- Clouds of dust shut out the palace.
# When it clears the palace courtyard and the surrounding area is filled
with spikes and purple cracks in the earth.
- The discolored area and the palace begin to rise into the air, bright
pinkish-purple streams flowing down from the cracks.
- A bright glow forms behind the palace and a circular Glyph (magic symbol)
appears.
# The Glyph continues to rise.
> The scene switches to the inside of the palace.
+ Griffon: Splendid. So this is the power of the stones...
+ Monica: (still scared) What did you do?
+ Griffon: You'll find out soon enough.
- I shall show you... the power this palace possesses... the power
*I* possess...
> He raises his hands over his head again and Monica and Max stagger.
+ The palace's trembling increases.
+ Max: What the...?!
+ Monica: What's happening...?!
> Mist forms around the figure of Griffon...
+ We see the outside of the palace which is now an island in the sky, bright
pinkish-purple streams still falling...
+ A glow of rainbow colored stripes form and cover the palace.
- As it clears you see that the palace is gone.
> Max and Monica are still inside the palace.
+ Max: What happened?!
+ Monica: Don't tell me...
+ Griffon: (laughs) Go have a look outside. I'm sure you'll like the view.

> Then as Max steps down onto the courtyard...
+ He and Monica walk toward the gate.
+ Osmond: Something terrible has happened! (he runs past them toward the
palace door).
> He turns around and stands before them panting.
+ Max: What is it?
+ Osmond: Somehow this palace has returned to the present.
+ Monica: (looking around) It can't be!
+ Max: Looking up toward a dark blue sky) What is Griffon planning now?!
> Then we get a view of the palace and it is no longer so dingy.
+ The view changes to the floating palace and island and brightly burning shots
are fired from it down to the ground.
+ Monica: I can't believe this!!
+ Osmond: It's Griffon's doing!
> An explosion occurs behind the professor and he starts running in circles.
+ You see the palace and another purple shot is poised to fire.
+ Max and Monica say they have to get out of here.
+ They run just as the shot hits where they were standing.
+ Max hears a sound.
+ Max: Is that Conda and the others?
> You see the huge eyes of the Carpenterion blinking.
+ Monica: Max!! Run!!
+ Inside the Carpenterion, Conda says: 'They need backup!! Fire!!!
- The Carpenterion uses its huge hands to commence firing back at the palace.
- A shot just misses it.
+ Osmond, Max and Monica use the distraction to run to Ixion and board it.
- The Carpenterion leaves the palace and Ixion takes off.
- It lands at an area that seems to be covered with greyish-brown mud.
- Ahead of Max and Monica is a circular ruin.
+ Monica: It looks like ruins.
+ Osmond: I've followed Elena's instructions. She said to land here.

> They walk toward what looks like an altar.
+ Osmond: Here it is... I'll set it up.
- He places a green colored device on the ground. A hologram of Elena appears.
+ Elena: ... Listen Carefully, Max. Something terrible has happened.
- It's incredible, but somehow Griffon has shown up in your time.
- If he continues, he could go through time destroying each era in
turn.
+ Max: So what should we do?
+ Elena: The only way to stop Griffon is to attack his palace with our
fortress, Paznos.
+ Monica: But it's not like we can bring Paznos to this time period.
+ Elena: There is a way.
+ Monica: You're kidding!
+ Elena: At the place where you are now, Kazarov Stonehenge, there is a unique
convergence.
- We must make a Chrono Union there.
+ Max: Chrono Union?
+ Elena: It's where time and space meet each other.
- We have to make an area where your time and my time will both exist.
- If we can do that, we can send Paznos to your time.
+ Max: That's really possible?
+ Elena: Yes, the ancient ones knew the secret and Luna Labs deciphered it
from their wall murals.
- We don't have much time. Let's get to it.
- There should be four pillars standing there in Kazarov.
+ Max: I see them.
+ Elena: In each pillar there is a hole. The holes are there to receive four
colored gems.
- Put a gem in each one of the holes and it is possible to make a

+ Max: But where do I find these gems?
+ Elena: The Four Gems are hidden somewhere in your world.
- In the forest, the valleys, the sea, or in the mountains.
- Go to all the places you've ever been and search for those gems.
- They're definitely there somewhere.
- There's a key for getting the gems from where they are hidden.
- The key is hidden on the center of Kazarov Stonehenge where you
are now.

** THE STAR KEY **
*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*
> Monica walks to the altar which has an aqua stone on top and is in the center
of Kazarov Stonehenge.
+ She looks at it then walks to the pillar beside it with the blue stone on
top.
+ Max walks to the other pillar on the other side of altar; the one with the red
stone on top.
+ At the same time, they each press something on the pillars.
- The central mound containing altar and pillars begins to rotate.
- The altar rises displaying a pale yellow pattern, and it continues to rise.
- The mound completes a full rotation and stops.
+ Monica: In here?
> She walks over to the pillar and receives the Star Key.
+ They walk over to where Elena's hologram and Professor Osmond wait.
+ Elena: That's it. Now if you find doors that open with that key, you are
sure to find the gems.
+ Max: Okay. I've got it. We'll head out and find 'em.
+ Elena: Even now, Griffon is starting his rampage again. Hurry Max.
> They are inside Ixion and Professor Osmond is explaining.
+ Osmond: Now you can jump to anyplace you like in this time or the future by
using the Ixion time travel system.
- With the Atlamillia stolen, the Ixion is our only means of time
travel.
- And you can control the Ixion travel system by remote too.
- If it's a place with a time gate, you can go directly into the
future, just like before.
- Use it carefully!
+ Max: Awesome! Convenient AND cool!
+ Osmond: So where to first?
+ Monica: Remember the star symbols we've seen around?
- Maybe those symbols mark where the gems are. What do you think?
+ Max: I think you're right. Let's go!
NOTE: You can go to the future from the World Map.
+ Each place in Max's time now has the future added to the Menu:
- Sindain ........... ? Jurak's Mall.
- Balance Valley .... ? Starlight Temple.
- Veniccio .......... ? Luna Lab.
- Heim Rada ......... ? Gundorada Workshop.
+ But to get back from the future, you must use a time gate.
- Instead of the Atlamillia, the Ixion Travel System enables the Time Gate
to work.
> Video ends with Max outside Ixion.

** DEFEAT MONSTERS TO UPGRADE WEAPONS **
*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*
> Walkthrough (cheatcodes.com) for Chapter 5 suggested upgrading weapons to at
least some of the following.
+ Check the Chapter 4 and 5 Walkthroughs for how to get to these weapons.
+ All these weapons can be upgraded by the time you complete most of this
chapter.
> Max:
+ Poison Wrench
+ Digi Hammer
+ Question Shooter
+ Sexy Panther (or Soul Breaker)
+ Dark Viper
> Monica's Swords:
+ Ruler's Sword
+ Claymore
+ Halloween Blade
+ Sargatanas
+ Tsukikage
+ Small Sword
NOTE 1: There is also the Lamb's Sword.
It can be upgraded to EITHER:
- Ama No Murakumo ~~ NOT recommended (it's a Spheda Prize RBW Star
Floor 2)
- 7th Heaven ~ Recommended (no other sword can be raised to this one)
NOTE 2: The Tsukikage can be raised to the Ama No Murakumo.
+ It probably has higher Attribute values.
+ You don't want two of the same sword, so you can do this:
- First raise the Tsukikage to Ama No Murakumo.
* Keep at least 5 Synthesis Points.
- Next raise the Spheda Prize Ama No Murakumo to +5.
- Spectrumize the Spheda Prize Ama No Murakumo+5 and synthesize it to
the other one.
NOTE 3: Monica received the Holy Daedalus Blade at the end of Chapter 5.
- You probably haven't had a chance to upgrade it.
- For those who haven't looked at these 'box charts" before:
# Information in square brackets (e.g., [110]):
* The MAXIMUM value the indicated Attribute can be raised to BEFORE
upgrading to the next weapon.
# The first box (Holy Daedalus Blade) is the starting values for that
weapon.
# The next two boxes (Sun Sword and Big Bang) show:
* The MINIMUM values for the indicated attributes in order to upgrade
to that weapon.
Holy Daedalus Blade--> Sun Sword --> Big Bang

> Monica's Armbands:
+ In Walkthrough for Chapter 3, it was recommended you build four armbands while
you had Lin in the party:
- Athena's Armlet (Fire magic)
- Spirit Brassard (Cyclone magic)
- Moon Armlet (Chill magic)
- Destruction Armlet (Lightning Magic)

DEFEATING MONSTERS
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
> All weapons will need certain monsters defeated before they can be upgraded to
the next-to-final weapon.
+ With one exception, all weapons must defeat TWO different Chapter 6 monsters.
- That's the Claymore, which needs to defeat only a Blumo.
+ It doesn't seem to matter which weapon is used.
- I had the Spirit Brassard equipped.
# When it defeated the 'Heat Fairy'.
* The requirement for the Question Shooter (Max's gun) AND for the Athena's
Armlet were both filled.
- On another floor, the Ridepod defeated all the monsters.
# All weapons that needed the monster on that floor were credited with the
defeats.
# This saves a lot of messing around.
> Another important factor in this upgrading process:
+ You don't have to do all three floors and the BOSS Floor of one dungeon before
going to the next.
- And you can start with any dungeon you please.
- For consistency, this Walkthrough does the four Dungeons' paths in the order
given below:
+ There are four Stars, one for each of the dungeons:
- Rainbow Butterfly Wood (RBW).
- Starlight Canyon (SC).
- Ocean's Roar Cave (ORC).
- Mount Gundor (MG).
+ The floors are numbered to match the sequence they need to be completed in, for
each specific dungeon.
- They are called 'Star Floors' because they are on the Star Paths.
- There are three floors and one BOSS Floor in each dungeon
- Like all other paths, the floors in a particular dungeon must be completed
in the correct sequence.
- However, you can switch between the dungeons if and when you wish.
# For example:
* You could do RBW Star Floor 1, then ORC Star Floor 1.
* Then you could do SC Star Floors 1 and 2.
* Then go to MG Floor 1.
* Etc.
# Or you could do all of the first floors of the four dungeons before doing
any others.
NOTE: Once the following monsters have been defeated and the weapons have been
upgraded:
+ They level up very, very quickly.
> WHEN YOU GET THE DESPERADO GUN:
+ Check in the Status Screen:
- If it has the 'Dark' Icon (orange death's head), GET RID OF IT with a Bull's
Eye Coin.
- 'Dark' on this level of weapon eats Max's HP FAST.
> SUMMARY OF THE MONSTERS TO BE DEFEATED:
NOTE: YES, it IS MG Chp 5 Floor 1 for the Question Shooter.

> FIRST:

+ After completing these floors you can upgrade all the weapons.
- JUST DON'T UPGRADE THE LAMB'S SWORD YET.

> We'll discuss the Star Paths to get the gems in the same order as the altars:
Earth Altar .... RBW (Rainbow Butterfly Wood).
Wind Altar ..... SC (Starlight Canyon).
Water Altar .... orc (Ocean's Roar Cave).
Fire Altar ..... mg (Mount Gundor).
> HOWEVER YOU CAN DO THE DUNGEONS IN ANY ORDER YOU WISH.
+ For Example:
- If you want to upgrade the Poison Wrench to Sigma Breaker BEFORE you tackle
a 'wipe-out with Max's Right-Hand Weapon' (RBW Star Floor 2):
# First complete the RBW Star Floor 1: "Looking for the Earth Gem"
and defeat a 'Sylph' with the weapon.
# Then go to Ocean's Roar Cave Star Floor 1: "Looking for the Water
Gem" to defeat a Star Tortoise.
+ ETC.
> It is a good idea to do all four sets of Star Floors EXCEPT the BOSS floors
at first.
+ Then do the Mt Gundor BOSS floor.
- With the Scoop of the Fire Gem Altar, you can invent Steve's Nova Cannon II.
* Information is given on that floor.
* The Nova Cannon II makes it easier to take out the Bosses.
- When you defeat teach Boss, take a photo of the altar BEFORE you collect
the gem.

> There is no Georama in Kazarov Stonehenge.
+ But you do get Geostones on SOME of the floors in this Chapter.
> Four of the Star Floors have Geostones.
+ DON'T download them until you have them all!
+ Then go to Sindain.
- Remember those conditions in the analysis that stayed as '???'...
# Even though the Analysis said 100% completed?
> When you download all Four geostones:
+ Now you can make:
Chimney Pot
Hay and Hoe
Barrel
Leafy Tree
+ Conditions made clear:
Fence around Firbits' House
Golden Eggs restored
Resident in Straw House
> Check Analysis:
+ All checkpoints can now be read.
> I placed one of each of the above four items near the Straw house.
+ Gordon's Bonsai now sells:
Plum Rice Ball ..... 800 G
> Plum Rice Ball description states that eating this causes thirst.
+ This DOESN'T happen!
- It heals any status conditions AND restores HP.
NOTE: I DIDN'T DISCOVER THIS UNTIL I HAD COMPLETED CHAPTER 7 EXCEPT FOR THE FINAL
BOSSES.
- It is possible that the Plum Rice Ball is not available until the beginning
of Chapter 7.

NOTE: Now you can get to Gundorada Workshop easily AND since Steve is picking up
more EXP points than he knows what to do with:
+ Use the Cans of Fuel whenever you need to.
+ Then go to the G*Parts Shop, 2nd floor and buy the Ridepod Fuel for

** MORE MINI-CHESTS **
*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*
> Go to Jurak's Mall.
+ In the Jurak Arms entry is a bluish colored mini-chest with an 'Amethyst'.
+ Beside the 'Golden Eggs' is another with an 'Aquamarine'.
+ Beside the Tailor's Shop' are three mini-chests:
- Potato Pie.
- Fruit of Eden.
- Witch Parfait.
+ Going back toward the Time Gate near a large looped root is a 'Fruit of Eden'.
> Go to the Starlight Temple.
+ As you face the 'Star Items' Shop door; down the stairs to your right is a
mini-chest with a 'Fruit of Eden'.
+ By the right torch at the foot of the ramp to the level where Madame Crest is,
is a mini-chest with 'Potato Pie'.
+ In back of Madame Crest is a chest with another 'Fruit of Eden'.
- Looking at Madame Crest, go to your right and beside the first post, is a
'Witch Parfait'.
> In case you didn't get the mini-chests inside the small labs at Luna Lab (in
Chapter 5):
+ In the 'Red Lab':
- On the landing down the first part of the ramp is a 'Potato Pie'.
- Around past the chairs and almost to the railing along the top of the ramp
is a 'Fruit of Eden'.
+ In the 'Purple Lab':
- Just past the last chair is another 'Fruit of Eden'.
- on the inside of the railing at the foot of the ramp is another 'Witch
Parfait'.
+ The 'Blue Lab':
- Just down from the ramp and against the outer wall is a 'Witch Parfait'.
- Around past the chairs is another 'Fruit of Eden'.
+ The 'Green Lab':
- Just before the second ramp down, there is a 'Potato Pie'.
- Past all the chairs is a 'Fruit of Eden'.
> Return to Gundorada Workshop:
+ On the landing that leads to G*Tools (1st floor):
- A mini chest with a 'Turquoise'.
- Another mini-chest with a 'Fruit of Eden' is against the wall just below
and out from this landing (it's by the reddish brown support).
+ On the landing that leads to G*Weapons (1st floor):
- A mini-chest with a 'Diamond'.
+ From this point and past the West Jump Gate, in the middle of a fence in a
setback is another mini-chest with a 'Fruit of Eden'.
- About opposite this setback and by the inner fence is a mini-chest with a
'Witch parfait'.
+ On the landing to G*Parts (2nd floor):
- A mini-chest with a 'Topaz'.
- If you start on this landing, look out toward the pit.
# Go down the left ramp and left again to a reddish brown support where there
is another mini-chest with a 'Witch Parfait'.
+ Heading in the opposite direction (to the right) and past the elevator.
- By the fence around the pit and opposite a setback is a mini-chest with
'Potato Pie'.
+ Continuing in the same direction in, a setback with one of the Transmission
Devices has a mini-chest with another 'Fruit of Eden'.
+ I didn't find any mini-chests on the third floor.
> Return to the present with the Time Gate using Ixion's time-traveling mechanism.
> After giving these:
+ Max and Monica both have 76 Shield.
- I gave the extra 'Fruit of Eden' to Monica (HP 192) rather than Max (HP 184)
because she has a VERY difficult task in Ocean's Roar Cave Star Floor 3.

+ You get that close to the Sylph and you are likely to be incapacitated!
- You MUST watch Max's HP AND HEAL.
- The Wipe-Out goal is not impossible but VERY, VERY DIFFICULT.
- Be sure Max's Wrench/Hammer has a 'Time Coin' synthesized to the weapon
and there is a chance the critter will be 'stopped' (it does help).
- To upgrade the poison Wrench to Sigma Breaker:
# You'll need to go to Ocean's Roar Cave to get the second critter (Star
Tortoise).
+ Two other problems in getting the Wipe Out Goal:
- If you hit back the spit balls (Sylph or Zucky) and this damages the

given dropped below 40.
- Then for a number of times through, the points stayed at 40.
- You can raise the levels 5 times as you repeat the floor six times.
+ Strategy with the Gemron Transformation:
- Watch out for the Heat Fairy
# It 'sticks' to the Gemron and RAPIDLY takes down the HP (the Gemron's
Shield level is a lot less than Monica's).
# If this happens change to Max IMMEDIATELY, hit it with his hammer, then
change back to let the Badge pick up the points.
# Don't be fooled by its puppy-like yelp; this is a nasty vicious little
beastie.
- If there are several critters milling around in the one place:
# Get just within hitting distance.
# Lure them to you one at a time, by hitting the closest with one hit.
* Repeat until all have been dealt with.

- Using the Bombs adds Synth Drops to the Right-Hand weapon.
- You don't really want to build up your Spheda Club (the higher it is the
harder it is to hit the Sphere).
+ Balalla, Mimic, and Mummy each require 2 Improved Bombs.
- Throw the second while the critter is knocked down by the first.
- Occasionally, a Mummy will require a third if the first doesn't catch it
full on.
+ Iron Mask is taken out by a Lightspeed (a Final Bomb if you don't have any
Lightspeed).
- Three Improved Bombs should be enough, but it keeps moving so some miss.
- Better to use a Lightspeed or Final Bomb to be sure of it.

+ Like other serpents, it dives into the ground to come up where you were when
it dived.
- Hits pretty hard.
+ It also bites.
> It's easy if you use the Ridepod since he can keep moving as he fires.
- But he'll probably get hit at least once!

+ And it was much easier to fill the Time Goal on the MG Star Floor 1.

+ Each of the gems send up a stream of colored light into the sky.
- You see the sky with the moons.
- The four streams of light combine and the place where they combine begins to
glow.
- The light pulses and the view changes.
- There is another pulse of light and where the streams join there appears a
castle-like shape.
+ Monica: (shouts) Look! It's Paznos!!

- Are you trying to stand up to my power with such a puny little
fortress?
- Have it your way. (Savagely) Let the battle begin.

- He gestures.
+ View changes to the Moon Flower Palace and a reddish-purple light glows from
the top.
+ Several balls of the colored light spread out and down from the palace.
+ Galen: These Paznos attacks aren't doing anything.
- Prepare to fire the Nova Driver.

- Colossus Mode?
- What are you talking about?

- Paznos doesn't have anything like that.

- Since Max and Monica went back in time, things have changed
slightly.
- They created a whole new time stream.

+ Paznos descends then various parts move and rearrange (Transformer!).
+ Max: Cool! What IS it?
+ Monica: I have no idea!
- It looks like...
- Like Paznos is transforming!
+ Paznos continues to transform.
- Hands appear at the end of arms.
- Legs are attached.
- And Paznos is a giant robot-like critter.
+ Max: Paznos turned into a giant robot!
+ Monica: Huh?! How did it do that?
> Elena and Galen look out of the window of the Bridge. Through the window you can
see the falling palace with smoke trailing.
+ Elena: We'll stop the palace with Paznos.
- (yells) Dive!
+ Tech: Yes sir!
> More ominous music.
+ We see the finished transformed Paznos still in the sky.
+ Suddenly, Paznoz' backpack ignites and it dives towards the falling palace.
- Paznos catches the island to crackling/breaking sounds.
- Paznos braces itself and tosses the island in a different direction.
- The palace crashes to the ground and Crunch!... the earth beneath the palace
disappears into the ground.
- Paznos steps forward and his foot descends.
+ Max: How cool!
It just threw the palace aside!
