NOTE: This short faq is focused only on locating all the lithographs scattered
accross the game. This is considered as a sidequest since finding and reading
all lithographs is optional. If you have further questions about the game or
anything not covered in this faq, please refer to the walkthoughs created by
other authors.

If you have some additions, corrections or suggestions just email me. I'll try
to reply as soon as possible.



---------------------
WHAT ARE LITHOGRAPHS?
---------------------

Lithographs are stone tablets scattered around Belkhyde and Eden. They contain
descriptions or messages pertaining to the diffrent manas in the game.


----------------------------------------
WHY DO I NEED TO BOTHER? (READING THEM?)
----------------------------------------

This is considered as one of the little sidequests in the game. To read the
last lithograph in the final dungeon of the game, you should've read the other
lithographs first. You will be rewarded with... errr.. just see for yourself.


-----------------------------------
WHEN SHOULD I BE ABLE TO READ THEM?
-----------------------------------

You will not be able to read them in the early parts of the game. A story plot
will trigger the ability to read the lithographs. This is specifically in 
EP 11: THE BLOOD OF THE ALCHEMIST. 


----------------------------
WHAT DO I NEED TO READ THEM?
----------------------------

You need an item called RAINBOW CLOTH. Fortunately, the game will provide hints
(and will also be mentioned in this short faq) on how to acquire the recipe
and the materials. 


-----------------------------------------
wHAT DO I NEED TO CREATE A RAINBOW CLOTH?
-----------------------------------------

After getting the recipe, you will need a PEARLBERRY and a CURE JAR. After
creating and initializing the item, you will just need 3 WOOD and 2 ILLUSION
elements to Mana Synthesize it.

The Cure Jar is easy to acquire but the Pearlberry is somewhat uncommon. If you
managed to harvest more than one Pearlberry during the Puni Liberation Front
mission in Episode 9, then you shouldn't have that much of a problem.


--------------------------------------------
OK, NOW IM EPISODE 11, WHERE SHOULD I START?
--------------------------------------------



Alright, here's the details. 


=====
VIESE
=====


As soon as the new episode starts, you will have a short scene with Viese and
Iris. After that, head downstairs and read the newly recieved letter. Exit the
workshop and go to Aguitto Springs.

Head to the lower right portion of the area to meet Jiptus, the Poison Mana.
Talk to her. She will then set a condition that Viese must meet before making
a pact with her -- and that is, reading the lithograph located in Aguitto 
Springs. Viese will mention about going to the library.'

Go to the Temple and talk to Kreuz. You will be informed that Yach's father
was able to read lithographs. Head out and back to town.

Go to the li'l kid's store. He will then talk a little bit and you will learn
the second volume of his book is missing. Switch to Felt.



=====
FELT
=====

Go to the Wetlands. Go up to the next area, then take the right path. Blast the
rock using the MegaFlame and open the chest to get Silver Legion. Backtrack a
bit and take the left path. Continue until you reach the workshop. On the lower
right, there's a path blocked with another rock. Blow it up then open the chest
to acquire YUGEN DIARY VOL. 2. Sounds like this is the second volume Yach is
talking about. Find a savepoint and make camp. Switch back to Viese.



=====
VIESE
=====

Upon switching, go back to Yach's store and hand over the Yugen Diary. You will
recieve the recipe for creating Rainbow cloth. You should readily have the
ingredients as mentioned above. Create the Rainbow Cloth and initialize it.
You can go back now to Aguitto Springs, read the lithograph and talk to Jiptus
to make a pact with her. You can start reading lithographs now.
