**   OPENING VIDEO   **
*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*

> Someone (a queen?) descends out of the sky to hover between them and the
  Palace entrance surrounded by sparkles.

  + Queen:   Welcome to the Moon Flower Palace.
  + Monica:  What?
  + Queen:   You have come to fight with Sirus inside the Moon Flower Palace,
             have you not?
  + Monica:  Sirus?
  + Max:     Do you mean Griffon?
  + Queen:   (sadly) Please, don't blame Sirus...
             - I really hope you are able to see... the child's true form...
  + Monica:   Who are you?
  + Queen:   I am ruler of the palace... Alexandra...
             - Sirus has not yet realized what his role in life is.
             - And... neither have you two...
             - Sirus and I shared many memories in this garden. They are all
               still hidden here.


> Alexandra raises her arms and the barren garden is restored to flowers.
  + Queen:   If this garden could change back to the way it used to be, the
             child may remember everything again.
             - Please, open up your hearts ... and see for yourselves the truth
               hidden here in the castle.
             - There is a clue in the first room.
             - Please, go and win back Sirus's memories...
             - If you do... I'm sure... Sirus will... I beg of you...


> Alexandra disappears in a cloud of sparkles.
  +  Max:     I wonder what she meant, a clue in the first room?
  +  Monica:  Anyway, let's keep going.

> Video ends with Max (or Monica) facing the steps of the palace.
  + The once bare ground is now covered in grass.
    - Then enter the Moon Flower Palace Foyer.


> VIDEO:
  + They walk along the carpet in the foyer toward the stairs.

  + Monica:  He's not showing up this time.
  + Max:     I wonder.


> Video continues (summary is below):
  + You are given a view of the foyer, both upstairs and down, where there are
    large paintings of various garden scenes, hung on the wall.
    - Max realizes that the paintings show the Gardens as they were in Alexandra's
      time.
    - The first painting they look at shows a road with flower beds and pillars on
      either side of the path leading to the palace entrance.

> VIDEO ends with Max facing the picture.
  + There are four paintings on the ground floor and another four up the stairs.
  + LOOK AT ALL EIGHT OF THE PAINTINGS. 

> If you stand by each of the pictures, a red Exclamation Point appears.
  + Pressing [X] shows a close-up of the picture.
    - Each one has a different view of various areas of the Palace Garden as it
      used to be.
    - These are intended to guide your placement of parts in the Georama.
  + You'll be able to view them when using the Carpenterion.
    - The 'Culture' option has been replaced by 'Picture'.
      # Just select 'Picture' in the Carpenterion menu.
      # The eight paintings can be viewed by pressing either [L1] or [R1].


> At the top of the stairs in the Foyer is a SAVE Point.

  + SAVE now!!!

 PALACE LOCATIONS
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

> Moon Flower Palace Stop.
  + Paznos is at the Stop, even thought there are no railway tracks.
  + The mound around the palace is now green, but there is a wide patch of muddy
    ground around it.

  + There's a gate into the Palace grounds.
    - It's the 'Gold Gate' (if you didn't photograph it before do so now).
    - The SAVE Point that was outside the Palace is now just inside the Gold Gate.


> Moon Flower Palace [Georama Field].
  + Inside the Gold Gate and between the Gate and the Palace is the Georama field.
    - Check the 'Make' screen (Carpenterion).
      # You can make and place a fountain.
      # Put it on the center of the Georama where there is a patch of dry ground.
        * Cover the patch with the fountain.
        * It is important for the Fountain to be correctly placed so you have room
          for other items (you may need to adjust placement later).

 PHOTOS

> When you have the Relaxation Fountain placed, take a photo:
    - Title:  Relaxation Fountain.


> The Camellia Tree.
  + Facing the Palace, move to your right.
    - There is a group of three trees, nearly to the Garden Wall.
    - Take a photo of either of the outer trees (not the middle one).
      # Make sure you have part of the tree trunk in the picture:
         Title: Camellia Tree.

 Steve's Laser Arm III:
       Ideas = Relaxation Fountain + Energy Pipe + Search Light
   Materials = 20x Hunk of Copper + 15x Light Element + 9x Silver Ball

 Steve's Jet Hover:
       Ideas = Relaxation Fountain + Candle + Fire House
   Materials = 15x Hunk of Copper + 30x Sticky Clay + 6x Fire Element


NOTE: The Jet Hover works similarly to the propellor as far as speed is concerned.
      - However, Steve 'swivels' to turn around and it is a lot quicker to face a
        different direction.
      - Also, it seems a little easier to control.

**   CHAPTER 6 REVIEW  **
*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*

> In Chapter 6, you got to use the Time Train called Ixion (train of many colors!).
  + Ixion took you to 10,000 years ago, where you had a chance to defeat Griffon.
    - Unfortunately, Griffon stole Max's Red and Monica's Blue Atlamillia.
    - Fortunately, Ixion's Time Traveling System enable you to travel to and from
      Monica's time and the present.

> You temporarily defeated the Emperor.
  + Griffon used his powers to take the Moon Flower Palace to Max's time.
    - The palace became a floating island.
    - Griffon began to try to wipe out everything.

> With the Star Key, Max and Monica found the four gems to complete Kazarov
  Stonehenge.
    - Rainbow Butterfly Wood ... Earth Gem.
    - Starlight Canyon ......... Wind Gem.
    - Ocean's Roar Cave ........ Water Gem.
    - Mount Gundor ............. Fire Gem.

> When the four Gems were placed in Kazarov Stonehenge, four colored columns of
  light joined in the sky and brought Paznos to the present.
  + Paznos fired at the floating island causing it to fall.
  + Elena, Max's mother, ordered the 'Colossus Mode'.
    - Paznos was transformed into Gigantor Paznos.
    - It was able to catch the island and toss it to earth where it would not
      damage anything.

> Now Max and Monica must enter the Moon Flower Palace to find Griffon and put an
  end to his evil plans.

> REMINDER:
  + Having Milane in your party adds one Synthesis Point (7 points instead of 6)
    when a sword levels up.
  + Putting Gerald into your party, adds 7 (instead of 6) Synthesis Points when a
    gun levels up. 

> It isn't practical to raise all weapons to their final possibility.
  + Since I don't know what weapons you currently have, this Walkthrough will show
    the best paths to all the final weapons.
    - Because I wanted to make the advice in this Walkthrough meaningful, I have 
      actually developed all of the weapons.

  + This portion of the Walkthrough is grouped by the four types of weapons:
    - Wrenches.
    - Guns.
    - Swords.
    - Armbands.

  + Max's weapons have fairly simple paths.
    - Monica's, however, are much more complex, particularly the Swords.
      # For example, there are four quite different paths to the final weapon
        called Island King.
      # Here are the 'second-to-final' weapons on each path:

             
      Shining Bravado -->                   <-- Griffon Fork
                         \                 /
                          \               /
                           ---> Island <--                      
                            --> King <----
                           /              \
                          /                \
             Sword of Zeus                  7th Heaven


  + The 'Box-Charts' below show the MINIMUM REQUIRED ATTRIBUTE levels for the
    build-up.
    - The value in square brackets (for example: [250]) is the MAXIMUM value you
      can increase that particular weapon's attributes to.
      # For example: The Heavy Hammer's attributes can be increased to 150 max.
        * You will probably upgrade it to LEGEND before the hammer reaches max.
      # The attributes of LEGEND can be raised to 250, with the Attack Attribute
        going up to 500 max.

    NOTE:
    - In the box chart, if an attribute is not listed (shows '-' instead of a
      number):
      # That attribute is not required for that weapon's build-up.
      # However, you can increase any and all of the attributes (to their maximum)
        if you choose.
        * For the weapons you plan to use for the final set of battles, you should
          add all attributes to the max (the final weapons DO build quickly).
    - One attribute (Smash) makes ALL weapons much stronger even when it isn't
      really 'needed'.
      # Where Smash is not required, recommended levels are in parentheses, for
        example: (100) or (135).

  + Most weapons have only one choice for the final build up.
    - A few have two choices.
      # Choose the one that matches the attributes that are listed in the box
  + Hold off on using the Synthesis Points until you have enough to take each of
    the attributes up to the necessary levels.

> To find out how much you need:

  Example:
  + Suppose you need Chill of 135 and have only 120  points. [135 - 120 = 15].
   AND
  + Suppose you need Smash of 135 and have only 103 points.  [135 - 103 = 32]

    # Take the result and divide by 3 (the number of points one crystal adds to
      the attribute value).
       Chill:  15/3 = 5
       Smash:  32/3 = 10.2 or 11   (round UP to NEXT whole number)

    # Do this for each of the needed attributes.

  + Suppose you end up with the following number of Synth Points:
       Chill ......  5
       Smash ...... 11
       Exorcism ... 11
       Beast ...... 12
       Scale ...... 32

    # Total up the number of Synth Points needed [5 + 11 + 11 + 12 + 32 = 71]
      
    # Divide that total by 6 (the number of synthesis points each level-up gives
      the weapon) [71/6 = 11.5 OR 12 (rounded up)]

    # This amount [12] gives the number of levels you must raise the weapon [+12].


> If your weapon isn't strong enough to safely defeat monsters on the Chapter 7
  dungeon floors:
  + Go back to Chapter 6 Star floors to do the upgrades.
  + Choose the floor with at least 20 monsters, because the more monsters you
    defeat, the more quickly the levels-up come:

     Rainbow Butterfly Wood Star Floor 1: Looking for the Earth Gem (20 monsters)

     Starlight Canyon Star Floor 1: Looking for the Wind Gem (24 monsters)
     Starlight Canyon Star Floor 2: Evil Spirit in the Valley (22 monsters)
     Starlight Canyon Star Floor 3: Brave Warriors in the Valley (22 monsters)

     Ocean's Roar Cave Star Floor 2: Pirates Revenge (24 monsters)

     Mount Gundor Star Floor 2: Explosive Hot Spring (24 monsters) 
     Mount Gundor Star Floor 3: Crazy Mountain (22 monsters) 


> ALWAYS check the Build-up Screen for the weapon you want to build up.
  + You can tell what attributes you will need to increase:
    - Those that flash red are not yet up to minimum.

  + The game does NOT tell you how much to raise each needed attribute.
    - See the 'box charts' below.


NOTE: YOU CAN AND SHOULD RAISE EVERY ATTRIBUTE TO THE MAXIMUM.
      + This may be easier/faster if you spectrumize high level weapons (with AT
        LEAST +5 added to the weapon's name).
      + Then synthesize them to the strongest weapon.

> There are two strong final weapons:

    - This is a hammer.
    - When brought to full power (the numbers in the square brackets ([500]) or
      [250]), this is Max's strongest right-hand weapon.
  + Grade Zero.
    - This is a Wrench.

> You should currently have at least one of the following right-hand weapons:

**   ARMBANDS  **
*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*

> There are only two final weapons as far as the name is concerned (Love Armlet
  and Five-Star Armlet).
  + HOWEVER:
    - There are four magics so you can actually create four different armbands.
    - BUT if you raise ALL atributes as high as possible, the major magic will
      become Flame.
    - I synthesized weapons to build to the highest levels for the Armband I chose
      to keep (one of the Five-Star Armlets).

NOTE: The following are major magics (read --> as 'becomes'):
      - Sun Armlet           --> FIRE-based Love Armlet
      - Goddess Brassard     --> CYCLONE-based Love Armlet
      - Destruction Brassard --> LIGHTNING-based Five-Star Armlet
      - Moon Armlet          --> CHILL-based Five-Star Armlet

~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~

> The Love Armlet.

1) Path to the Love Armlet with FLAME as the major magic.
     - This version of the LOVE Armlet has the advantage of being able to raise ALL
       attributes to their highest.
     - If Flame has the same final value as the other three magics (Chill,
       Lightning, and Cyclone) the magic defaults to Flame.

> The Five-Star Armlet
  + When all Attributes are raised to their highest values, this is probably the
    strongest possible Armlet.
    NOTE: If ALL attributes are raised to their highest, Fire will be the major           attribute.
  + There are two paths to this armlet:.
    - You may want to synthesize one Five-Star Armlet+5 and attach it to the other
      as it DOES take a long time to raise the attributes to 250 or 300 points.

1) With LIGHTNING as major magic.

> The chart below summarizes the Chapter 7 monsters that must be defeated for
  specific weapons.
  + I am assuming that you have your weapons upgraded to the second-to-last.
    - If not go back to Star Floors to get them raised.
      # As long as you have defeated the Chapter 6 monster already, you won't have
        to do it again not even for new weapons.
      # Weapons found in Treasure Chests in Chapter 7 are at MUCH higher levels.


> Chapter 7 Monsters.
  + The description of a new monster includes whether it is needed and by what
    weapon.
    - In the section 'Final Advice', weapons that can be upgraded are also noted.
      # If you still have less than minimum attribute levels, go back to Star
        Floors to upgrade them.

  NOTE: 'MFP' is the short form used in this walkthrough for 'Moon Flower Palace'.

                         around the rooms.
                         - They are hollow so must be vases.
                         - If you throw and break them, some have items.
  + Entry and exit doors are called 'flowers'.

> Dungeon Floors:
  + The floor is carpeted, but circular panels in the floor appear to be made of
    glass, showing starry skies.
    - Some of the panels on the walls show great flowers with spotted petals.
      # When you look at these flowers, they appear to be breathing.
  + The locked door is bright yellow and purple and is circular.
    - It's called the Moon Clock Door.


> Although the Palace Foyer looks to be in good condition, when you get into the
  dungeon:
  + It is obvious that no-one has lived there in a long time.
    - There are cracks all over the floors and walls.
    - Circular drapes are frayed.
    - Glass panels in the floors are cracked.

    # Use regular Bombs to make more (you may have to make more of the Bombs too).
  - Keep Final Bombs for when two or more critters are close together.
    - I have taken out at least three with one bomb but they have to be fairly
      close.

> One of the treasure chests on this floor may hold a Resurrection Powder.
  + Make sure you carry only 2x of them, just in case.

> If you work on upgrading the Holy (or Fire) Gemron Badge on this floor, the

  + The only critter to watch out for is the Silver Gear.
    - It seems to be able to fire a dart even when under constant fire.
    - Watch Monica's HP!!!

    - Move your character toward you.
      # The Mimic senses where you are when it opens and turns in that direction.
      # That gives you an extra moment while it pauses in confusion because you
        are not where it expected!!!

    - There is a pinging sound accompanied by flashes of light.

  + They see a critter similar to Pau (could it be Griffon?) who is walking toward
    a golden haired girl.
    - In a close-up, it looks like Queen Alexandra who is holding a big sun flower.
    - Another closeup shows the Pau-like critter (his name is Sirus).
  + Queen:   (turns) Is something the matter?
  + Sirus:   (sounding like the boy who spoke to Gaspard) No. No. It's nothing.
             (Shakes his head.)
             - (points to the Queen) What's wrong with the flower?
  + Queen:   (looking down at the flower) It looks like the stem is broken. I'm
             afraid it's going to die like this...
             - Poor thing...
             - I was thinking that maybe I would put them up in your room.
             - It'd be a shame to waste them. Would you like that?
  + Sirus:   Um...yeah. That's a good idea.

> White screen then we see Max and Monica; they're puzzled.
  + The viewpoint zooms in on a table at the end of the garden. It seems to have a
    flower on it.

   2x Camellia Tree
   1x Hall of sorrow.
   1x Palace Stairs


NOTE 1: HOW THE PARTS ARE PLACED IS *VERY* IMPORTANT.
        + If they are not in the right relationship (see map below) the percentage
          for completion will NOT be correct.

NOTE 2: The Carpenterion shows the Petal Stream part as an L-shape but in the
        Georama it is square.


> Starting with your back to the Gold Gate and facing the Palace door:

  1) Place 7x Petal Stream on the RIGHT.
     - One Petal Stream fits half-way under the Starlight Stairway.
       # Put three more on the Gate side of the stairs (total four).
       # Repeat on the other side of the Stairs so that two Petal Streams under
         the Stairway join together and until you have used all seven.

  2) Repeat the same process with the Starlight Stairway on the LEFT side of the
     Fountain.
     - But place three on the Gate side and four on the Palace side with two of
       these joining under the Stairway.

  3) Place the Hall of Sorrow at the end of the left Stream and nearest the Gold
     Gate.
     - Place the Camellia Trees on either side of the Stream and between the Hall
       of Sorrows and the Starlight Stairway.
       # Make sure each tree is as near to the Stream as possible.

  4) Place the Palace Stairs at the end of the other Stream nearest the palace.
     - Place the Silver Benches near the Palace Stairs and facing the Stairs.

    Placement:
                    Palace Door

  5) Place the flower beds (the [] in the illustration) on either side of the
     Streams so that there are:
     - Four on the Palace side of the Petal Streams and on the same side of the
       Relaxation Fountain as the Hall of Sorrows.
     - Two on the same side of the Relaxation Fountain as the Palace Stairs and
       on the Gate side of the Starlight Stairway.

  6) Before going down to the ground, check Analysis.
     - It should be 80%.
     - If not, you need to reorganize the parts of the georama.


> VIDEO:
  + Someone seems to be playing hide and seek.
  + Queen:  Where are you, Sirus?
  + Voice:  Where do you think?

> Overhead view and you can see the Queen and behind a flowerbed is the rabbit
  (child Sirus).
  + Queen:  (shading her eyes and looking all about, says in a musical tone)
            - Where are you?
            - Got you! (peeking around the flowerbed)

> Sirus collapses to the ground and the Queen hugs him.
  + Queen:  How you like that?!
  + Sirus:  Aaaah! Okay, you got me!

    - The cost of making a Final Bomb is about the same as buying one.

NOTE: Material Requirements.
      - 1x Bomb          =  5x Gunpowder + 1x Flame Crystal + 1x Wind Crystal
      - 1x Improved Bomb =  1x Bomb      + 3x Flame Crystal + 3x Wind Crystal

> Strategy:
  + These are NOT knocked over when bombed even with a Final Bomb.

    - The Leogriff requires 3x Final Bombs or 4x Lightspeed Bombs.
      # Back off a little way after you throw each one.
      # Watch out for your HP as it does a lot of damage.

    - The Vanguard Mk 2 requires 2x Final Bombs.
      # Get it before it gets close.

    - The Moonflowephant requires 1x Final and 1x Improved Bomb.

    - So does the King Mimic.

    - Skull Chief needs 3x or sometimes 4x Improved Bombs.

                - You know, flowers always give people something.
                - For me, it can be happiness, or strength, or just the courage to
                  make it through another day.

   - Alexandra is standing there.
   - A soldier comes around the Fountain dragging a rabbit by its ears.
     # He believes he's caught a thief.
     # The rabbit protests that he just wanted to look at the flowers.

  + Alexandra:  (turning toward them) Is there a problem here?
  + Soldier:    Your Highness! This little brat here snuck into the garden.
                - I'm sure he was planning on stealing something from the castle.
  + Rabbit:     No. I already told you! I just wanted to look at the flowers.
                - Let me go!!
  + Alexandra:  Release him.
  + Soldier:    Huh?
  + Alexandra:  Just do it!!
  + Soldier:    (releasing Sirus's ear) Yes, your highness!

> Alexandra comes down to Sirus's level.
  + Alexandra:  So, you like flowers, do you?
  + Rabbit:     Yeah, I do. Look at them... It somehow makes me feel good.
  + Alexandra:  Oh. Then I guess you're not a thief.
                - I'm sorry. Forgive me.
  + Rabbit:     (perking up his ears) Oh, you believe me?
  + Alexandra:  What, you're lying?
  + Rabbit:     (shaking his head) No. It's really true.
  + Alexandra:  Very well, I believe you. So where did you come from?
  + Rabbit:     ... I don't have a home. I'm all alone.
  + Alexandra:  Hmm. I see. All right. From now on, I'm putting you in charge of
                this flower bed.
  + Rabbit:     (puzzled) What?
  + Soldier:    (protests) Your highness!
  + Rabbit:     No way! Really? But why me?
  + Alexandra:  Hmm? I thought you liked flowers.
  + Rabbit:     Yes, but...
  + Alexandra:  Oh? You mean to disobey your Queen's orders?
  + Rabbit:     Um. Urgh... Okay, I'll do it. Like a caretaker, right?
                - I guess that wouldn't be TOO bad (twirls around).
  + Alexandra:  So, what's your name?
  + Rabbit:     Name... My name...? Umm... aah..
  + Alexandra:  Hmmph. Its okay, that's fine.
                - Your name at the castle will be 'Sirus.' What do you think?
  + Rabbit:     Sirus?
  + Alexandra:  Yes. I think it suits you well!!
                - I want you to give all these flowers here plenty of love and
                  attention.

> BEFORE ENTERING THE SUN CHAMBER:

    MOVE).
    - You need to make preparations.

  + ALTHOUGH YOU GET A BREAK BETWEEN BOSS FIGHTS, YOU CANNOT USE MOVE.

    - THIS IS A SEVEN-PART FIGHT.

    - WHAT YOU DON'T HAVE WITH YOU, YOU HAVE TO DO WITHOUT!

**  PREPARING FOR THE FINAL BATTLES  **
*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*

> CARRY A LOT OF HEALING ITEMS and PLENTY OF MATERIALS (listed below).

  + 20x Premium Chicken (from Ferdinand).
    - Fills your HP Gauge completely.


  + 20x Double Puddings (make).
    - One completely heals both of them.
    - DON'T TRY TO MAKE ANY DURING THE FIGHTS, YOU WON'T HAVE ENOUGH TASTY WATER.
    - Go to Polly's Bakery so you can replace the Tasty Water as you make these.
           Ideas = Milk Can + Find the Golden Egg! + Wheat Flour
       Materials = 4x Cheese + 10x Life Element + 4x Tasty Water

    - You'll need to make cheese for the Double Pudding too.
           Idea = Cafe Sign + Lao Chao's Trademark + Milk Can
       Materials = 8 Flour + 1 Tasty Water + 1 Water Element
    - Fill up with 20x Tasty Water when you're done.


  + 20x Cheese.
    - Only fills part of the HP gauge, but they are useful.
    - You can make these on the floor, but you are limited by the number of
      Tasty Water you can carry. 
    - Go to G* Tools (Gundorada Workshop).


  + Ridepod Fuel.
    - Go to G* Parts and get a total of 5x cans of Fuel.
    - On the floor, you can make up to 2x cans of Ridepod Fuel:
           Ideas = Luna Stone Shards + Mud + Stardust Pond
       Materials = 20 Poison + 5 Improved Bomb + 5 Stamina Drink
    - Buy 10x Improved Bombs from Morton.


    - 4x Non-Stop Amulets, put them in Active Item Slots (2x each for Max and
      Monica).


  + Resurrection Powder:
    - I used 2 in this final set of Battles.
    - You can make them on the floor even if Max is incapacitated.
           Ideas = Hot Springs Spirit + Fruit + Lotus Flower
       Materials = 5x Holy Stone + 50x Life Element

    - Holy Stone can gotten from the Holy Gemrons on Starlight Canyon, Floor:
      Little Dragon Counter Attack (just before Barga's Valley).
      # Use the Gemron Badge, the Gemrons don't fight back.
      # You usually get one each time you go through the floor.


     SO STOCK UP NOW OR YOU MAY NOT MAKE IT THROUGH...


=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=

> RAISE MAX AND MONICA'S WEAPONS TO THEIR MAXIMUM.
  + The higher the attributes of your weapons, the easier these fights are.
    - The BEST weapons when raised completely:
       Supernova (a beam gun) ................ Distance weapon.
       Island King (a sword) or Dark Cloud ... Close-up weapon.
       Five Star Armlet ...................... Distance weapon; easier to aim.

  + The best method to get each raised quickly:
    - Build the weapon to AT LEAST +15 to +20 WITHOUT synthesizing crystals.
      # It will build fast.
    - Use three Name Change Tickets (exchange 40 medals with Mayor Need for each
      one).
    - If you don't have any spare weapons, buy three of the Battle Wrench (any
      weapon will work) from Palm Brinks Weapon Shop.
      # Change the name to:
         Five-Star Armlet ..... Delete all of the original weapon name first.
                                - Spell the name exactly as shown here.
                                - You'll go to the 'Symbols' option for the '-'.
      # The starting attributes for this armlet are the highest of any weapon:
         Attack ...... 150 | Durable ....  89
         Flame ....... 100 | Chill ...... 100
         Lightning ... 100 | Cyclone .... 100
         Smash ....... 150 | Exorcism ... 150
         Beast ....... 150 | Scale ...... 150
    - Build this newly-named weapon five levels (on RBW Star Floor 1, doesn't 
      take long).
      # You'll have 30 Synthesis Points.
        * Use ALL of these points to synthesize 30x POWER CRYSTAL (total +60 for
          the Attack Attribute).
        * Synthesize the Five-Star Armlet+5 to the desired weapon to build it up
           fast.
        * Repeat for a second and a third Five-Star Armlet.
        * You can synthesize this Armlet to ANY kind of weapon.
            

> Comparing the weapons.

  + Close-up Weapons:
    - LEGEND is good but awkward in use.
    - Monica's Island King is easier to use and just as strong.

    - To get Island King at its highest levels:
      # Take it up to approximately +32 for full attributes.
        * Raises faster if you synthesize a Five-Star Armlet to it.

  + Distance weapons:
    - Monica's Five-Star Armlet is probably a little stronger than Supernova.
      # It is easier to keep it aimed.
    - But it doesn't really matter which you use.
      # Take the Five-Star Armlet to approximately +27.
      # Take the Supernova to approximately +28.


     SAVE!!! SAVE!!! THE FINAL BOSSES ARE TERRIBLY ANNOYING...


         ARE YOU READY? IF SO, ENTER THE SUN CHAMBER PAST THE GUARDIANS...

> To open the door to Griffon, stand where the red Exclamation Point appears.

    speak his true name.
  + A name-writing screen appears.
    - Enter:
       Sirus
  + Go inside.


> VIDEO:
  + Max and Monica see the back of the winged form of Emperor Griffon and are told
    that he has been waiting for them.
  + Griffon is disturbed that they have been underestimate him.
    - He decides that a demonstration of his true power is in order.

  + Griffon rises into the air, encircled with wind and his title is displayed:
    =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=
    ==   MASTER OF DARKNESS ~~ EMPEROR GRIFFON   ==

  + Griffon:  (hoarse and menacing voice) Sinful humans. Now you shall pay for
              your transgressions and disappear from the face of the world!


     LET THE BATTLE BEGIN...

> Griffon hovers in the air.
  + The Three Atlamillia floating around his body will deflect some of your shots.

  + Watch out for the flying wind-darts from his wings.
    - Guarding when he fires them reduces but doesn't stop the damage.
      # They eat up the HP of Monica and Max.
    - This is the most difficult part of this triple BOSS fight because of those
      darts:
      # SO DODGE THEM by running sideways as soon as he starts sending them.

> Max's gun doesn't seem to work.
  + Monica's strongest armband does.

> STRATEGY: first part of fight:
  + Have Monica fire four or five times then run sideways to dodge the darts.
    - If she starts moving BEFORE Griffon's attack, she can dodge them better.
  + Repeat.

  + When his HP is down to about three-quarters:  VIDEO...

~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~

> VIDEO SUMMARY:
  + We see the interior of the palace.
    - A close-up of Alexandra with Sirus beyond her and he runs up to her.
    - He pleads desperately for Alexandra to run with him.
    - She refuses because she is Queen and must live or die as her country does.
    - She tells Sirus he must leave.
  + Sirus:      (voice getting louder and jumping up and down)
                - No! No! Alexandra!!

> RETURN TO BATTLE SCENE (video continues):
  + Emperor Griffon lands on the floor.
    - The hooks on each of his wings get longer.
    - He grabs the hooks and pulls the wings out to make them into weapons.
  + He will keep lunging at you, slashing with the wings.
    - He also fires overlapping arcs of power.

  + The Ridepod works best here.
    - BUT USE THE JET HOVER NOT (REPEAT NOT) THE BUGGY.
           Ideas = Relaxation Fountain + Candle + Fire House
       Materials = 15x Hunk of Copper + 30x Sticky Clay + 6x Fire Element
  + Have the Ridepod:
    - Lock-on.
    - Keep circling as you fire.
      # DON'T STOP IN ANY ONE PLACE...
      # JUST KEEP CIRCLING AND FIRING...

  + When Griffon's HP is down to about one-quarter: VIDEO


> VIDEO SUMMARY:
  + Sirus is trudging across the gardens, dead trees show.
    - The sky is a dusky red and the scene is darkened.
  + Sirus is saddened by the loss of Alexandra.
    - But he is furious with the humans who attacked because they wanted the
      Atlamillia stones.
    - He believes that the world would be a better place if they'd never existed.
  + Sirus:  (viciously) Those humans...


> RETURN TO BATTLE SCENE (video continues):
  + Emperor Griffon no longer carries the wing weapons.
    - He drops to his knees and yells/groans.
    - Raising his head, you see his eyes are red and there is more hair around
      his face.
    - Fire rises around him as he stands, fire glowing from the wrists of his
      gauntlets. 
  + Max and Monica face him as he swishes his gauntlets through the air.

> Griffon's hits are similar to those of the Bone.
  + They slice along the floor and ARE VERY DAMAGING.


> I continued to fight with the Ridepod.
  + BUT:
    - If you wish to fight with either Max or Monica, you need an Anti-Stop Amulet
      in their Active Item Slots BEFORE BEGINNING.
    - NOTE: EACH HIT FROM GRIFFON TAKES CLOSE TO HALF OF THEIR HP.
      # YOU'LL PROBABLY NEED THOSE RESURRECTION POWDERS IF YOU FIGHT CLOSE UP.


> RIDEPOD STRATEGY.
  + Keep circling to dodge the floor shafts of wind sent by Griffon.
    - Steve will get hit which reduces his Fuel/HP.
    - If Steve becomes critically damaged, it will take two fuel cans to fill the
      300 HP Gauge.

  + Keep as far as possible away from Griffon.
    - Circle to the right for two to three hits, then circle to the left.
    - Move FAST if he leaps toward you.
      # He keeps firing the ground-hugging shafts of wind.
      # The closer he is, the more likely they are to hit.


> When defeated:
  + Griffon drops to the ground and gives half roar/half groan.
    - The voice sounds more like Sirus.
  + Red sparkles rise UP from him.
  + The scene flashes to white, then VIDEO.

~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~

> VIDEO.
  + Alexandra and Sirus are standing in front of the Relaxation Fountain.
    - Sirus demands angrily why he shouldn't destroy the humans?
    - He explains that they make war, they kill each other, they involve people
      who have nothing to do with them...
    - (viciously, he states it was just to get the power of the stones.

  + Sirus claims they don't deserve to live!
    - He says: "I'm not the bad one... It's not me. They're to blame..."
    - The in sad despair: "I just wanted to be with you a little longer. That's
      all I wanted..."

> Alexandra kneels in front of Sirus.
  + She explains that when humans have strong desires, they often make mistakes.
    - "But," she says, "Humans also possess something very important."
  + She thinks Sirus must be aware, because he has been watching the boy on his
    journey the whole time.

> Alexandra continues as scenes from Max's journey are shown:
  + The Firbits, Lin holding Crest, Pau waving to the Shingala, Max and Monica
    leaning over the dying Gaspard.
  + She says Sirus knew that he was wrong this time.
    - The special something inside the humans must not be destroyed.

> View returns to the Palace Garden as Alexandra leans forward and places her hands
  on Sirus's shoulders.
  + Alexander: Remember back, Sirus.
               - Remember that you have an important role in life.
               - (emphatic) You must remember...
  + Sirus:     Alexander, I don't understand.
               - (gritting his teeth) I just don't understand...

> Sirus puts his paws out to Alexandra just as she disappears and he bows his
  head.

> VIDEO:
  + Return to the Sun Chamber.
    - On the floor are the three Atlamillia surrounding Griffon.
    - Black smoke rises up from the emperor's body and out of the smoke, peers the
      green face of a new monster.

> Monster: (speaking to Griffon) Grrahh!! I'm tired of your whining.
           - Your role is finished.

  + You realize the body is that of Sirus NOT Griffon.
    - Max rushes and grabs Sirus then Max and Monica run to the side and Max lays
      Sirus down at the edge of the area before facing the monster.

> The monster raises the staff, the three Atlamillia rise off the floor and are
  pulled into the Smoke.
  + When the smoke fades, the Final Boss is revealed.

    ==   EVIL MADE FLESH ~~ DARK ELEMENT   ==
    =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=

  + A blue glowing aura surrounds Dark Element, then blue tentacles grab around
    their waists and they are pulled into the glow.

> Dark Element gloats over the power he receives.
  + And challenges Max and Monica to "Come! Taste extinction!"

  + Max and Monica are on the palace roof and beyond them is a glowing red and
    pink moon.
    - It is falling and Monica wonders if this is the 'Star of Oblivion?'

  + You hear maniacal laughter as the scene changes to show the Dark Element.

 + Dark Element claims that when the Moon falls, this world will become his
   paradise!
   - The souls of those detestable humans will serve him as the king of a dark
     world seething in hatred.
   - More laughter.

> Max and Monica turn and see Sirus, hand held up and glowing blue.
  + Dark Element is surprised that Sirus is still alive and says he'll fix that.
  + He throws the twisted Staff at Sirus who is impaled by it.
    - Sirus groans then, still with the twisted staff, rises up from the floor.
    - Dark Element makes a 'come-here' motion with its hand and the staff flies to
      him while Sirus falls to the ground.
    - Then Monica and Max run across to Sirus and kneel beside him.

  + Sirus       You?!?
                - Max... don't worry about me... just go after him...

> Dark Element raises the staff so it is vertical in front of him and he and the
  staff begin vibrating.
  + You see the top floor of the palace and a bridge stretches and curves out from
    the floor.
    - It continues to stretch and becomes the Dream Spiral rising up into the sky.
  + A huge Mammoth drops out of the sky and lands in front of them.
    - Definitely a lot bigger than Linda the Circus elephant!!!

**  DESCRIPTION OF THE FINAL FIGHTS  **
*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*

> You have to defeat FIVE preliminary BOSSES before you can work on Dark Element.
  + You do get a break between each fight as you walk up the 'Dream Spiral' to
    the next floor level (and it's a long walk)!
    - So you have time to heal as you climb.
  + There is one BOSS for each floor.
    - If Max's Supernova is at the highest level, the preliminary bosses can be
      defeated with little damage.
      # But each defeat takes a little more effort.
  + If Supernova isn't that powerful, it will take longer for each of the first
    five fights and you may get more damage.

> The fight with DARK ELEMENT will cause a LOT of damage, so WATCH HP!!!


     THERE'S A TIME LIMIT TO DEFEAT THE DARK ELEMENT...

> If you have the Supernova at its full power (about level +28, with 171 WHP) a

> You can use Monica if her weapons are:

   OR
  + Her Island King at close to full power (mine was +32, WHP of 180).


> Strategy:
  + The Supernova is better than the Armlet for this fight.
    - The Island King is better for close up battle than the LEGEND because Monica
      wields it much more quickly.

**  FIGHT STRATEGY   **
*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*

> USE ALL THREE WEAPONS, RIDEPOD, FIVE-STAR ARMLET, AND SUPERNOVA:
  + SWITCHING BETWEEN PEOPLE AS THEY GET DAMAGED:
    - You DO have time to heal because the fight stops when you access the Main
      Menu.
  
  + Monica's Five-Star Armlet hits Dark Element harder than the Laser Gun.
    - But she has a more difficult time dodging its attacks.
    - Switch as soon as he HP gets low.

  + The Ridepod can move around and deal hard blows from  the Nova Cannon III.
    - But it is difficult to keep out of the path of Dark Elements attacks.

  + The Supernova is best.

> It was in this fight that I had to resurrect Max!!
  + I started with Max.
    - Then after resurrecting him, I used the Ridepod until his Fuel was almost
      gone.
      # Refueling twice.
    - Then I used Monica and had to use another Resurrection Powder...
    - I ended up just firing the Supernova even when Dark Element got in my face
      (it worked)!!!
      # By that time, its HP was low.

  + But REALLY WATCH THEIR HP!!!!!

  + After defeating Dark Element, VIDEO:

> IF YOU DON'T WANT TO WATCH THE VIDEO, A SUMMARY IS GIVEN BELOW.

  + But there comes a point in the video where the subtitles for the game are
    displayed.
 
  + The acknowledgments CANNOT be Skipped.
    - It takes about 5 minutes to go through them all.
    - IF YOU GET BORED AND SWITCH OFF, YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO GET TO CHAPTER 8!!!
      # DO SOMETHING ELSE AS YOU WAIT.

~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~

> VIDEO:
  + Dark Element is surprised that a human was strong enough to defeat him.
    - But he still gloats that all the humans will be dead when the moon falls.
    - He expects to meet them in hell!!!
    - He laughs madly as he fades back into greenish-black smoke.

  + Max and Monica run to where Sirus is lying.

> Sirus says he can't believe that was inside him, but thinks he may have created
  it himself.r he has remembered what he has to do.
  + He walks toward the moon.

> Sirus remembers that he is the Guardian of the Stars.
  + The Ancient Ones told Sirus's ancestors how to stop the 'Star of Oblivion',
    but the memory had been locked away...
  + He now knows that his role and his purpose is to stop the Star of Oblivion.

> Sirus raises his hands and calls to the Moon (Star of Oblivion), saying:
  + "You have fulfilled your purpose. Return to the dust that bore you!"
  + His hands begin to glow and he tosses the glow up at the moon.
    - For a moment nothing happens then the moon expands.
    - Then golden sparkles of moon-dust begin to drop down toward the roof.

> Close-up of Sirus.
  + Sirus:     Alexandra... this is what you meant, isn't it?
  + Voice
    Alexandra: Congratulations, Sirus...
               - You were...
               - You were... magnificent.

> Alexandra appears in the air. Sirus looks then closes his eyes and whispers
  "Alexandra..."
  + he thanks Max and Monica for opening his eyes.
  + He says "Farewell," and falls to the floor, still surrounded by the golden
    drops from the moon.
  + The screen flashes to white.

> Sirus is running along the Road to Golbad toward Alexandra.
  + He hugs her and she hugs him back.
  + Viewpoint moves slowly upward and you see there is only one moon.
    - Fade to white.

> There is a closeup of Max and Monica.
  + Monica realizes that beneath it all, Sirus was just a nice little boy with a
    huge responsibility.
  + One that was so big, he almost couldn't handle it.
    - But now he 's finally going to a place he can call home.

> Max becomes poetic and Monica doesn't really appreciate it!
  + But they wonder if people will ever believe there was once two moons.
  + Max thinks that people will lock the memories into their hears and maybe
    forget to take them out again.
  + You see Max and Monica looking up at the moon.
    - Fade to black.

> Paznos is floating in the sky.
  + Everyone, including Galen and Elena, are in the Kazarov Stonehenge ruins.
  + Monica tells Max that he'd better not forget her either!
  + Max replies the she shouldn't worry.
    - He won't forget Monica, or his journey, or how they fought together.

> Goodbyes are said, and Max promises to write and leave the letters in the Kazarov
  Ruins.
  + Max calls out "Mother!" as the four of them (Galen, Elena, Monica, and
    Professor Osmond) fade into blue columns.
  + Then you see Paznos and four shapes rise up to it; blue and red shimmers
    surround the whole thing.
    - Paznos disappears.

> Cedric tells Max the Chrono Union is closing.
  + He says the journey was like some kind of dream... Castles moving in the air...
    Moons becoming one...
  + Max:     Yeah, just like a dream.
  + Cedric:  Hmmph... Yer right. Yer journey WAS just a dream.
  + Max:     Huh?
  + Cedric:  There's always been just one moon...
             - All this may just have been a long, long dream, shown to us humans
               by the ancients to warn us.
  + Max:     A dream, huh... Yeah, right.

> VIDEO continues:
  + Max is at his desk in his home in Palm Brinks.
    - He's writing the letter to his mother and says it is rather long.
    - He says that it was a lot of fun too.
  + Max leans back in his chair and falls asleep.
