Attention: This is a Japanese game. Therefore, this gaming guide is meant to help 
people who do not speak Japanese and would not understand how to play this great 
game to its highest peak. I would still persuade you to go and get this game. It 
is far worth the money and you can play it on an American Gameboy Advance. If you 
do speak Japanese, the walkthrough in this guide will help you greatly. Thank you.

I. Control Figuration

The basic controls of this game are as follows:

A - The A button is the accept command. It is used throughout the game to buy 
items at the shop and to send a command in a battle or a training mission. You 
can also use the A button to speed through the text.

B - The B button is used to deny a command that you sent. When you make a mistake 
and need to go back to another screen or command, press the B button.

Start - The Start button is only used at the start screen in the very beginning 
of the game. This screen will lead you to four commands: New Game, Load Game, 
Quest Mode, and Sound.

Select - The Select button can be used on anything. In English it would give you 
information on the thing you selected, but because the game is in Japanese, this 
command is worthless unless you can read Japanese.

R - The R button is probably the most used button in the game. On the Field Map, 
the R button is used to bring up a string of commands: 

•	The first box looks like a bunch of dots and an arrow. This is the Edit 
Party command. If you choose this command, you can edit your team’s items, change 
their class, and check what their current level is. 

•	The second box shows two clashing swords against a halved red and blue 
flag. This is your training icon. Here you can train your characters to increase 
their levels and earn some new medals as well. 

•	The third box shows a picture of a scale. This is the shop of that town. 
In here you can buy and sell equipment and magic, as well as recruit some new 
characters. See how to shop in the walkthrough section of this guide.

The final command looks like a box with a different colored sphere on each 
corner. This option command leads you to yet another string of commands:

•	This first box looks like a Red arrow coming towards a square of some 
sort. This is the save command. When you click on it using the A button you can 
save your current progress throughout the game. 

•	The second box looks very similar to the first box, except that the arrow 
is blue and it comes toward you. This is the load command. Here you can load 
previously saved games in case you make a mistake and need to do something over.

•	The third box looks somewhat like a pumpkin on a napkin. This is actually 
here to teach you the basics of the game, but because it isn’t in English you 
won’t understand any of it unless you know how to read Japanese.

•	The fourth box shows a peculiar design. I don’t know how to explain what 
it looks like, but I do know that it is the options menu where you can change 
different commands throughout the game. For example, you can change the text 
speed and the sound of the game. This option was also available at the opening 
scene. Because it is not in English, I recommend that you leave all the options 
alone, therefore you won’t mess up anything that you didn’t intend to do.

•	The last box looks very similar to the first two boxes, except this arrow 
curves and goes more towards the left. This is the reset button. Pushing this 
will lead you back to the opening screen. Make sure to save first. It doesn’t do 
it automatically.

L - The L button is even more useless than the start button, because the only 
real purpose it would be used for is to scroll through your characters in the 
battle mode. But why use that when you can do it manually? You would also use it 
to remove equipment off of a character.

II. Battle System

Training Start:

To get to the training mission, press the R button on the field map and click on 
the command that looks like two clashing swords against a red and blue flag. 
Clicking on this will lead you to a training mission.

In training, you start the battle with a huge box to the left that shows all of 
your party members. This will be the blue team in the training mission. First you 
must select whom you want to put down onto the map. Push the A button on a 
character’s to do this. A hand will be pointing above the character’s head and 
you can position him anywhere on the blue tiles. Push the A button when you have 
decided where you want him. A message will come up asking you to decide what 
direction you want the character to start at. Push the A button to decide. The 
character screen will come up again and you can add some more characters onto the 
map. To put characters on the opposing team, the red team, push the R button on 
the character select screen during the Blue Team’s character select phase. This 
will lead to three commands:

•	The first box shows a red flag with a B underneath it. This will change 
your attention towards the red team, where you can place characters the same way 
you did for the blue team.

•	The second box has the same design as the edit character screen. If you 
click on it, you can change the character’s class and equipment right there and 
then (an amazingly good thing…trust me) and then continue on in the training 
battle. You cannot edit a character that is already on the map.

•	The last box is the same as the option command on the field map. All the 
commands inside of it are the same as the options on the field command. 

When you are all set to battle (both blue and red teams have the characters that 
you wanted), push the R button again and click on the box that has the same 
design as the training symbol. A question will come up. Choose the top command to 
start the battle. 

Battle Commands:

Now that you have done everything to prepare for the battle, you can attack. If 
you’re playing in a real battle, a screen will come up and tell you whether or 
not you have to kill the leader or defeat all enemies to end the battle. Now you 
start the battle. Click on the character that you want to move and (hopefully) 
attack first. The tiles will come up again across the screen. This is the 
movement range of that character. He can only move in the area of those squares. 
Choose a tile where you want the character to be. The character will move there 
and a bunch of options will come up.

•	The first square shows a picture of a sword. This is the button to press 
if you want to attack a character. Both direct and in-direct attacks can be used 
when you press this button, unlike Tactics Ogre on the Playstation.

•	If your character knows how to use magic, a command that shows a picture 
of a wand will come up right next to the attack command. This is the use magic 
command. On the first turn, a character cannot use magic. Everyone starts out 
with 0 MP and it increases by 10 after every one of your turns. This is also the 
command that will allow your character to use a technique that they have learned.

•	The next square shows a pouch and a hand reaching for it. This is the 
Item Usage button. If you have wounded or dead characters, you can heal or revive 
them with this command. All items are put together into one inventory and you 
cannot equip individual items to characters, making the game a lot easier.

•	If one of your characters is standing right next to an enemy character, a 
fourth command will come up that has a picture of a bubble with three dots in it. 
This is the persuade command. If the character is below at least 5 Hit Points, 
you can use this command to try and persuade someone to join your team. Unlike 
the PS version, any character can persuade an enemy character, not just the 
leader.

•	The final box shows a picture of a pair of shoes. Oddly, this is the wait 
command. Pushing this button allows your character to wait when he can’t attack 
and there is no need to use an item. Pressing this button ends that character’s 
turn. 

For a last minute note, here are some other commands you should know: When you 
are ready to attack, and have all the characters you want on the battlefield, 
press the R button. This will bring up some more commands.

•	The first box is a blue arrow pointing towards the left. This is a team 
wait command. All of the people in your party will lose their turn and it will 
automatically go to the other team.

•	The next box looks like a bag. This is the Inventory check command. You 
can’t use items here, but you can check to see how many items you have and what 
an item does.

•	The third box shows an icon that looks like one clipboard over another. 
This will bring up the edit screen, but it will show both teams and you can’t 
edit them.

The final box is again the design that leads to the option menu, except a few 
commands can now be used.

•	The first box is a new design that shows two upside down golden swords 
against a red and blue flag. This is the exit training command. This will end the 
whole training mission and lead you back to the field map.

•	The final box shows a pixilated design of a Gameboy Advance. This icon 
leads you to an option that allows you to set whether a team is manually 
controlled or computer controlled. 

 III. Edit System

When you press the R button on the field map, another grouping of commands will 
appear. The Edit System command on the field map is the first box with the icon 
that looks like a thousand dots and a green arrow. This will lead you to a screen 
showing all the characters in your battalion and what their equipment is. 

Equipping an item:

You can only equip items to a character that can use them. To equip an item, 
highlight the character that you would like to equip the item to and press the A 
button. A screen will appear showing the status of the character and his/her 
equipment, spells and their special attacks that the character has. Press the R 
button to again see a list of commands that you can choose from:

•	The first box looks like a hand holding a sword. This is the equip item 
icon. Push the A button to see a character’s equipment. A character that doesn’t 
have equipment will only have four boxes shown underneath the status screen. Push 
the A button on the box that you want the item equipped on. A bunch of equipable 
items will appear in a column. These items are organized by type (Weapons, Armor, 
Helmets, etc). Push the A button on the item you want to equip and that character 
will have equipped that item. To unequip an item, highlight the item you want to 
remove and press the L button. That item will be unequipped.

•	The second box looks like a hand wielding a staff. This is the Equip 
magic icon. The same thing that you did for equipping an item is the same for 
equipping some magic. Highlight the place you want to put the Magic and push the 
A button. A screen will appear showing the magic that you have organized by the 
type of magic it is. Select the magic and push the A button. That character will 
have equipped the spell. To remove the spell, highlight the spell you wish to 
unequip and push the L button. That magic will be unequipped. Try to use the same 
magic type as the character type. You can see your character’s type to the left 
of the character’s picture.

•	The third box shows a black character behind an orange background. This 
is the Evolve a character icon. This icon will allow you to see what your 
character class can evolve to and what it takes for your character to evolve. To 
evolve your character, select the class that you want your character to evolve to 
and push the A button. Your character will automatically evolve into that class.

•	The final box shows a white skull. This is the omit icon. Pushing this 
button allows you to remove a character from your team. I advise that you stay 
away from this icon unless you really don’t need that character.

As soon as you enter into the Edit screen, you can press the R button to bring up 
another string of commands:

•	The first box shows a picture of a hand holding a sword again. This is an 
inventory check for the items that you have in your inventory. Clicking on one of 
these items will show you who can equip the items and who can’t. The lightened 
people are the ones that can equip them and the shadowed ones cannot. If you 
click on one of the lightened people, you can equip that weapon then.

•	The second box shows a picture of a person holding a staff. This is an 
inventory check for your spells. As with the weapons, clicking on one of these 
will show you who can equip the spells and who cannot.

•	The third box shows a picture of a black character with an orange 
background. Clicking on this will bring up a box showing all the character 
classes that our changeable. To the right of each class they have the words “Now” 
and “Max”. The word “Now” is telling you how many people are using that class at 
that time. The “Max” tells you how many people thus far can be changed into the 
class. It also tells you the movement range and whether they float in water, walk 
in water, sink or fly. Clicking on one of these classes will show you who can 
turn into these classes and who can’t. If you click on one of the people that can 
change into this class, you can automatically change their class.

•	The next box is the Omit box, something that you don’t want to do anyhow. 

•	The box after that is the organization box, where you can switch the 
order of the classes in your party. 

•	The last box is the inventory check. You can view how many items you have 
left or need to get. Basically the last three icons aren’t that important.


IV. Classes

The following are the classes that you can get in the game. It is not complete, 
unfortunately, as I have not currently gotten them in my game. Any help would be 
appreciated.
NOTE: Some of the classes in the game can only be acquired by Medals. Medals come 
up above a person’s head in battle when they have done a certain requirement. 
Some of these medals can change a certain character into a new class, and others 
increase (or decrease) some of your stats as you level up. I know how to get some 
of the medals, and there are others I don’t have a clue about what they help or 
hinder. I do know about the classes that are changeable by status. Any help that 
you offer me to complete this class guide would be greatly appreciated. Also, I 
have included a rating for each class. This is my own personal feeling for the 
class and I’m sure that others have their own opinion about that class as well. 
It just helps you decide what classes are good and whether or not it is worth 
changing into them.

Omni-gender Classes:

Class: Soldier
Alignment: L, N, C
Requirements: None
Preferred Weapons: Sword, Bow
Magic: None
Rating: * * *

The starting class for both a Male and Female warrior. They aren’t that good as 
fighters, yet their stats improved from the last game. It only gets a three 
rating because all the classes have to come from this one.

Class: Archer
Alignment: L, N, C
Requirements: AGI 37
Best Weapons: Bow, Crossbow
Magic: None
Rating: * *

The Archers are a class that have decreased stats from the last game. Unlike 
their PS cousins, they have horrid defense and a below average attack. Sorry 
Archer lovers, but this class stinks.

Class: Cleric
Alignment: L, N
Requirements: MP 18, INT 28
Best Weapons: Staff
Magic: Three Healing Spells
Rating: * * * * *

A must have for any team. Yes, they are weak and need a little boost of defense 
more than the others, but the ability to heal anyone on the battlefield is 
amazing. I would recommend using a female one more than a male one because the 
male classes are better fighters than female ones, but it’s up to you.

Class: Wizard
Alignment: N, C
Requirements: MP 16, INT 26
Best Weapons: Staff
Magic: Three Offensive spells
Rating: * * * *

Ah, one of my favorite classes. If only their defenses were as high as others, 
you could play a whole team of these guys and win. I would recommend playing with 
only a male wizard, unless you’re trying to get a Siren, then I’d use a female.

Class: Knight
Alignment: L, N,
Requirements: STR 51, AGI 53, and Knight’s Helmet Medal
Best Weapons: Sword
Magic: One Healing Spell
Rating: * * *

An improvement over the last game because they can equip at least one spell, but 
their hitting accuracy is horrendous. I recommend not playing with this class at 
all, since there are so many other classes that are a lot better. You could use 
one as your healer, but I think a Cleric is better.

Class: Ninja
Alignment: L, N, C
Requirements: STR 36, AGI 37
Best Weapon: Sword, Katana
Magic: One Offensive Spell, Special Skill: Shuriken
Rating: * * * *

The Ninja is another great class. They are wonderful with a sword, their Shuriken 
attack is better than a bow, they can use one spell (which is usually the attack 
that I use most of the time) and they can walk on water. A Ninja deserves a spot 
on anyone’s team.

Male Classes:

Class: Beast Tamer
Alignment: L, N, C
Requirements: HP 142, STR 34
Best Weapon: Whip
Magic: None
Rating: * *

Unless you’re playing with a ton of monsters on your team, a Beast Tamer isn’t 
all that worth it. Sure, their whip is a two-panel attack and their hit points 
are high, but you can do better with a lot of other classes. Instead, try 
persuading a Bezerker. They are found early on in the game, and have good Hit 
Points and Attack.

Class: Sword Master
Alignment: L, N, C
Requirements: STR 95, AGI 111, and the Scroll Medal.
Best Weapons: Sword, Katana
Magic: 1 Offensive Spell
Rating: * * * *

This is your basic Ninja which needs more speed attack to change into class. It’s 
about as good, and the technique it learns is pretty top notch. I recommend 
putting one of these on your team as soon as possible. 


Female Classes:

Class: Dragon Tamer
Alignment: L, N, C
Requirements: HP 140, MP 14
Best Weapon: Rapier
Magic: One Offensive Spell or One Healing Spell
Rating: * * *

Hmm, I think I like Valkyrie’s better, only because I like the spears and their 
stats are better. Of course, if you’re playing with a lot of dragons, then play 
with a Dragon Tamer by all means. They can use healing spells as well, so you may 
want to play this character. It’s up to you.

Class: Siren
Alignment: L, N, C
Requirements: MP 60, INT 60, and the Dagger on a Red Book Medal
Best Weapon: Staff, Fan
Magic: Three Offensive Spells
Rating: * * * * *

An upgraded Wizard for the female class only, and can equip just about any spell. 
I recommend having two on your team, but I guess that’s because I attack my 
enemies from a distance most of the time. Still, you should play with this class.

Class: Valkyrie
Alignment: L, N
Requirements: STR 48, INT 41, and the Spear Medal.
Best Weapon: Spear
Magic: One Offensive Spell
Rating: * * * *

Great attack power and speed, and they can use a spear, which is a two-ranged 
attack. On top of that, they can use one offensive spell, which doesn’t do much 
damage. They’re about as good as a Ninja.

S Sized Monsters:

Class: Hawk Man
Bast Weapon: Bow, Hammer
Magic: None
Rating: * * * * *

The rating is totally my own opinion, but I think that if you try one of these 
guys out early in the game, you’ll see what I mean. Not only can they fly on top 
of a house during a battle and bomb people with arrows, they have pretty decent 
stats, which helps out a lot. They also will learn a technique later in the game, 
so you can unequip their bow and add something with a little more power. A Hammer 
does nicely. Some people will love them, and others may think they are a waste of 
Goth. It’s up to you.

Class: Fairy
Best Weapon: Bow
Magic: None
Rating: *

I can’t stand this class. Terribly weak stats and their weapon of choice will 
only do, at most, 15 damage in the middle of the game. That’s nothing. Most 
people have about 200 Hit Points by then. I think they can learn a technique 
later on, but even that isn’t much of a threat.

Class: Goblin
Best Weapon: Bow
Magic: None
Rating: *
I should actually write “See Fairy” because they’re almost identical in stats and 
weapon damage. In fact, they even learn similar skills. Enough said.

Class: Mermaid
Best Weapon: Spear
Magic: No
Rating: * * *

You can recruit Mermaids later in the game at a store, and one of the Mermaid 
leaders may ask to join your battalion. They are decent fighters with a spear and 
have a technique that usually puts a character to sleep. That’s all I use them 
for.

L Size Monsters:

Class: Griffin
Rating: * * *

High Hit Points and high Defense, but lousy Attack. They can fly. That’s somewhat 
of a bonus, I guess. I like Dragons better.

Class: Dragons
Rating: * * * *

High hit points, wonderful defense and attack and they have a technique that has 
an above average attack power. I recommend playing with a couple of these and a 
dragon tamer, and you’ll have a monstrous team. They can evolve, but I don’t know 
what they need as far as stats go.

V. Walkthrough

Here is the walkthrough of the game. It isn’t the complete game, though, as the 
entire walkthrough will be added while I go through the game again. It covers 
battle strategy, answers to questions, and what to buy and not to buy. Good Luck:

Opening Scene:

The opening scene starts with the main character and what looks like a Paladin 
Knight walking through a town that is currently holding their annual market place 
of the year. After a long chat, the main character walks towards a hooded man 
with a magic globe, and the questioning for Tactics Ogre begins. The first 
question the man asks you is what is your name. A panel with four different 
options will come up. 

•	The first option allows you to write your name in Japanese, and for 
Japanese players this is the choice for you.

•	The second option allows you to write in another language (unknown to me, 
unfortunately…) so if you know how to read and write in that language, go right 
ahead and choose that one.

•	The third box is the one to choose for people that can read and write 
English. You can only write your character’s name in English, (no, the whole game 
will still be in Japanese) but at least you will be able to identify what your 
character’s name is throughout the game.

•	The last box has the option of the computer choosing you a Japanese name. 
If you don’t care about writing your own, go ahead and press this button and a 
random name will be chosen for you.

After choosing the name of your character, you will be able to set your birth 
date. Just choose the numbers that match your birthday or leave the date as what 
it starts with.

Now the questions come up. There are six questions, all in Japanese. On the 
bottom of the screen, there are four coins. These little coins are the answers to 
the questions. I didn’t pay much attention to the questions, so I have no answers 
to any of them. Just choose the one that suits you fine. After answering all the 
questions, the opening scenarios will commence. It shows the main character that 
you just named and the Paladin Knight heading onto a ship, the town that you just 
went through being massacred and burned to the ground, and some old men that you 
see later in the game signing a peace treaty. Nothing that great, but it will 
make sense later in the game.

After that short clip, you find the main character on his ship ordering his 
soldiers. One runs off while the other goes into the ship to get out of the rain. 
The Paladin Knight comes by, probably to wish you luck on your journey. After a 
short discussion, one of your soldiers runs to tell you some bad news. As far as 
I can interpret it, bandits have entered the town to take your ship. The leader 
seems to be a Bezerker that has a grudge against you and your first battle starts.

Enemies: Bezerker (Leader), 2 Male Soldiers, and a Female Solder
Guests: Paladin Knight, Archer, Male Soldier, Female Soldier
Winning Condition: Defeat the Leader
Treasure: Axe

Battle Strategy: This battle is extremely easy because the only character that 
you command is the main character. So have your fun watching as the others beat 
up on the troops that the Bezerker leads. At the end of the battle, you win the 
Bezerker’s Axe.

After the battle, the Hero and the Paladin Knight have a little conversation, 
while another Bezerker with a crossbow arrives. He takes a shot at the Knight, 
but the Hero jumps in front of him, taking the blow. The Bezerker is killed 
instantly by a soldier, and the Knight screams out to the Hero, who has been lost 
in the water off the docks. 

The screen shifts over to a little girl skipping out of her house towards the 
shore, only to find a half-drowned Hero with an arrow in his shoulder. She takes 
him in, bandages his wounds and they have a little chat. The door opens, 
revealing a Female Knight in Red Armor. She chats with the Hero about something, 
leaves, and calls for the little girl to come. The screen shifts and you are now 
on the field map for the first time. 

You can’t do anything at the moment as far as training and editing your party, so 
save it (see how in the control figuration section under the R button) and move 
on to the red castle on the screen. Any destination in red shows that there is a 
battle there that will make you move on in the story. Of course, there are some 
secret battles that you can trigger that aren’t in red on the map, so I’ll keep 
you informed on those.

As you enter into this town, the Red Knight chats with you a little, and a female 
Wizard comes in with her group to take you on. The Red Knight says a little bit, 
then asks you a question. You can choose from answer A or answer B. Depending on 
the answer you choose you can get a random version of two basic teams. You can 
see what classes you get after you beat this battle. If you like the classes that 
you received, continue on in the game with that team. If you’re curious to see 
what the other class is, reload the file that you saved before the game and see 
if you like that one better. I got a Male Ninja and a Male Cleric when I answered 
my question, and yet my father got a Male Wizard and a Female Archer. There is no 
correct answer and it is all based on choice.

After you make the choice that you want, the battle will start.

Enemies: Archer (Leader), 2 Male Soldiers, Female Soldier
Guest: Red Knight, Paladin Knight, and Archer from beginning of game
Winning Condition: Defeat the Leader
Treasure: Lightning (Spell)

Battle Strategy: At the start of the battle, it’s only you and the Red Knight 
versus their entire team, so I suggest that you wait the first turn and have the 
enemy come towards you. Usually the Red Knight will come and position herself 
next to the leader. On the start of the third turn, the Hero will say something, 
and the Paladin Knight and the Archer from the beginning of the game will come 
out of nowhere from the right and begin to help your party. Now the battle is 
even. As with the last battle that you played, stay put and let the Computer 
Controlled Allies do most of the fighting for you. Use this time to experiment 
with the controls. At the end of the battle, you win the Lightning Spell.

At the end of the battle, the Paladin Knight will speak with you privately, give 
you 3500 Goth, and a team to play with. This team is determined by the answer you 
chose in the last battle. After their little discussion, you move back to the 
Field Map. 

Now you can edit your team and do a little training, as well as go to the shop of 
the town. The shop button is the scale icon when you press R on the field map. 
Click on it and the screen will shift to a screen where the shop owner welcomes 
you in. A box with four different commands appear on the left of the screen:

•	The first option is the buy command.  After you press this button, two 
more commands will come up. The top command is the equipment, and the lower 
command is magic. Therefore you can buy equipment and magic. 

•	The second option is the sell command. As with the buy command, after 
choosing that option, two more commands will come up. The first one is again 
equipment and the bottom command is magic. Therefore you can sell equipment and 
magic.

•	The third option is the recruit command. Here you can recruit a male or 
female soldier and a random character. The soldiers always cost 1000 Goth and the 
third character depends on whether or not it is a S or L size character. I 
recommend that you purchase a new character to add to your party at this point of 
the game, as the more characters you have in the party, the easier the game will 
be. Plus you just received 3500 Goth from the Paladin Knight. Trust me, the more 
characters the better. I bought a Hawk Man, my most favorite class in the game. 
They can fly anywhere and are awesome with a bow, a weapon that you can purchase 
at the very beginning of the game at a reasonable price. A new soldier of either 
gender would be a nice addition as well. Remember that a new character does not 
come equipped, so make sure you purchase some materials for him to use.

•	The final option allows you to leave the store. You can also leave the 
store by simply pressing the B button, so you can use either command.

Level your characters up to level three and buy some spells that will help your 
characters. Save your game, then move onto the next stage. 

Enemies: Archer (Leader), 2 Male Soldiers, 2 Female Soldiers, 2 Bezerkers
Guest: Red Knight
Winning Condition: Defeat the Leader
Treasure: Balder Bow

Battle Strategy: The Leader of this battle is an Archer who has a Balder Bow, 
very good if you’re playing with an Archer or a Hawk Man. The enemy starts at the 
very top of the hill working downwards, as you are trying to kill them moving up. 
I recommend advancing slowly and letting the enemies come to you. The Bezerkers 
are the only ones with a bow that advance and the Female Soldiers seem to stay 
behind with the leader. By the second turn, try to attack at least one Bezerker 
if you can. In fact, get him below five Hit Points and try to persuade him. (If a 
character stands next to an enemy character, a command with a design that looks 
like a bubble with three dots will appear. This is the persuade command. The 
chances of persuading characters are slim, but it can be done and in the end are 
worth more than the effort you put in.) Advance and kill the foolishly advancing 
forces and you should have their front line killed in about six turns (more if 
you try to persuade someone). After you’re done killing them, advance and kill 
the characters at will. Go ahead and kill the leader if you want! When you kill 
her, you get the Balder Bow for any of your Archers.

After the battle, the Red Knight comes out of a tent to talk to you. You chat a 
bit, and then she asks you a question:

•	Choice A will make the Red Knight join you permanently, something that I 
think you want.

•	Choice B will make the Red Knight temporarily leave your party. I do not 
know if you will be able to recruit her later in the game.

You are back on the field map, so you can edit your team and equip that new bow 
that you received in the last battle. You should level up your people to level 4, 
then move on to the next battle.

NOTE: The walkthrough will be paused at this point. I have progressed further 
into the game, but it takes a while to write this stuff and I want to make sure I 
get this submitted. Look back here once in a while for the upgrades to see the 
rest of this walkthrough. Thank you.


VI. Secrets

The only secret that I have for you now is this:

After you beat your first team battle versus the Archer, you can return to the 
location one space lower on the map. Save it, then return back to the location 
where you fought the Archer. You are now taken to a non-story battle.

Enemies: 2 Fairies, 2 Gremlins, and 2 Griffins
Guest: Blue Haired Fairy
Winning Condition: Defeat all enemies
Treasure: None

Battle Strategy: In this battle you are destined to save a Blue-Haired Fairy, who 
is having a little trouble with her Aerial friends. This battle is fairly easy, 
as your fairy friend is smart enough to retreat behind the flanks and a majority 
of the Monsters have weak defense. Use the Red Knight as your healer, and you 
should finish this battle in record time. After the battle, the fairy will thank 
you and ask if she may join your comrades in your army. Choose the first option 
and she will join you.

VII. Credits

-	My Father, for going out and purchasing this game. Also, for inspiring me 
to write this walkthrough. It was only supposed to help him, but I think 
submitting this will help others as well.

-	My Mother, for proofreading this and attempting to find all the errors 
that I missed. I would be the laughing stock of the internet if it weren’t for 
her.

-	Others who have written an Ogre Battle and Tactics Ogre walkthrough on 
GameFAQs (both the PS, N64 and Gameboy Advance). I have copied some of your 
styles of writing and I think you deserve credit for writing a walkthrough on 
these great games. 


And thank YOU for reading this walkthrough. Remember, if there is any question 
you would like to ask, feel free to e-mail me at the address in the beginning of 
this walkthrough. I love helping people with these games.
