SECTION #1:   BOSS INFORMATION

A.  DIVINE BEAST DRAN:   Dran is actually alot easier to defeat 
      than you think.  You will need (approx): 2 Drans Feathers, 5 
      Repair powders, 10 Bread, 5 Water, a good sword and
      slingshot.  All you need to do is use Toan and use your sword
      on him while Dran is on the ground, using Drans Feather
      to avoid his attacks.  When Dran is in the air use Xaio and
      attack him with your slingshot.  Repeat until Dran is dead.
      If you rebuilt Norune Village so that everyone is happy he 
      will give you an attack for Toan.  When you hold X to charge
      an attack wait until you flash 2x and then release. 
      (I forgot the name of the attack)

B.  FOREST GAURDIAN:  The same tactics as before.  But use
      Goro's hammer, the monkey has big feet and you have a big
      hammer, hmm.......  All you do is lock on to his feet and 
      wham!  Warning: do not attack if you lock into his wrist,
      if you attack it, it will say 'no effect' and you will probably
      get hit.  Use Toan to attack him when he is on the ground.
      Watch out for his seeds, he will grab a fruit and start to spit
      seeds at you, you'r most likely to get hit (use Dran's Feather)

C.  ICE QUEEN:  Using Toan, use a Dran's Feather and get 
      close to her, break her shield.  Run away and use Xaio's
      slingshot or Ruby's rings to do a long range attack.  Watch
      out for her ice blasts, you will be frozen and most likely die, 
      stock up on the revival and stand in powders.

D.  KINGS CURSE:  See that black wind stuff, use Ungaga and
      blow it away, he will be stunned, switch to your strongest
      character, attack, repeat starting with Ungaga.

E.  MINOTAUR:  Lure him to the wine and go behind his feet 
      then attack.  Repeat.

F.  DARK GENIE:  He has 3 forms, first form you have to 
      attack with Toan or any other short ranged characters, hit 
      him with the element corresponding to his hand 
      (wait for his hand to pop out of the ground and hit him). 
      Second form Now you must use Ruby or Xaio, blast him on 
      his upper eye but watch out he has powerful attacks that can 
      really hurt you. Third form, hit him when his mouth is open 
      while dealing with his to companies.

SECTION #2:  HINTS AND TIPS!!!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
****************************************************
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Build Pike's house before Gaffer's Buggy or he will hurt his 
  back putting up his sign and you wont be able to buy all of the 
  items. (happened to my little brother, he's ticked)

-Use the Poison Apples, Carrots, and Gooey Peaches in Muska
  Lacka when fishing.  It is said that if a fish goes for either one
  that it is a Mardan Gagayan.  He will give you about 200+ FP
  and he will supposedly show you where the big treasure chests
  are and tell you which trap to pick. (yet to be proven)

-Gem attachments list:
	Amethest: 10 ice, 10 dino, 10 mage
	Aquamarine: 10 ice, 10 flying, 10 marine
	Diamond: 10 metal, 5 to all other anti-enemy things

	Sapphire: 10 magic, 10 wind, 10 flying
	Topaz: 5 attack, 10 undead, 10 flying
	Turqouise: 10 ice, 10 stone, 10 mimic

-Demon shaft: beat game, use map and go to the 'Demon
  Shaft', its 100 levels long and you supposedly get the 
  Chronicle 2 sword at the end.

I know that this isn't the best walkthrough but I am working on 
a better version.  If you have anything to add e-mail me at either
[email protected] or (for now) [email protected]

If you want I will post the web address for your walkthroughs
and / or FAQ on my walkthrough and my website 
(http://myweb.ecomplanet.com/BOND3334) <- its not much yet
but its getting there.

Thank you for choosing / reading my walkthrough, if its not too
good it's because this is my second one and there will be more 
updates to come.

And please, do not take this walkthrough and claim it as your
own, it is disrespectful and just not right.  I worked on this and 
made it my own, and if you claim it as your own, thats not fair
to me for having to do all this work.

IMPORTANT:  Some of the information in this walkthrough I 
have gotten from rkidd's walkthrough.  Thanks.

SECTION #6: ALLY INFO
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
****************************************************
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

TOAN:  He is well, you.  He uses swords to fight.  There's 
               nothing special about him except that he is the only one
               who can touch atla.  His favorite food is Fluffy Donught.

XIAO:  Do you know the cat that you saw all the time in the 
              Divine Beast Cave?  When you defeat the guy with the 
              huge sword, he will give you a morphing potion and the
              stray cat will become an atla.  The cat is the final atla
              piece for your house.  Go to your house and use the
              morphing potion on the cat.  She can jump large gaps
              and has a long range slingshot.  Her favorite food is 
              Fish Candy.

GORO:  In Matataki VIllage there is a path that leads to a large
                tree with a house up in it.  The event is a duel between
                you and Goro.  When you defeat him he will have a 
                'aquaintence' with his father and he drop the 
                hunters earings.  Then he will be your newest ally.  He 
                uses hammers and axes.  He hits the log looking buttons
                in the levels.  His favorite food is Grass Cake.

RUBY:  In Queens once you finish the mayors house, he will give 
               you a magic lamp.  Once she pops out she will try to 
               figure out who let her out.  She will have a talk with you
               and she will become your ally.  She uses rings as 
               weapons, she can open doors that have a gem next
               to them.  Go to the weapons shop.  She will make 
               the owner give you a Platinum Ring.  Her favorite 
               food is Witch Parafit.

UNGAGA:  In Muska Lacka, once the little black midget in the 
                      robe is done talking with Ungaga and you have
                      completed the 3 Sisters House, he will become 
                      your ally.  He uses long sticks to fight.  He can blow
                      away black smoke my holding down X.  His 
                      favorite food is Scorpion something or other.

OSMOND:  All I know is that he is a flying midget that uses 
                      laser guns and you get him in the moon place.  
                      His favorite food is unknown.

- You can change your ally by pressing select or by going to the 
   main menu ( triangle ) and going to allies.

- If you or an ally dies you can keep playing as long as you have
  a stand in powder.  A revival powder is good too, it heals the 
  dead member of your party or as they say 'near death.'
