At least a Phantasy Star for the Dreamcast. Well, you need a powerful guide,
full of information, a complete guide with the missing link to other Phantasy Star
and some tips that no one mentioned before now, this is it !

Version 1.0 : Was the first version, it's a complete walkthrough.
Version 1.2 : I added rules 9 and 10 in section 3, this information was submitted to me,
check the credits section. 
Version 1.3 : Someone e mail me that it's possible to use the scape doll. Also i
added a section for the download quest, i'll complete them later.
Version 1.4 : Correction of misconceptions and difference between the japanese version
and other versions . Added some advice against pirates. I changed the title. I
corrected a tips.
Version 1.5 : corrections of other misconceptions, i changed the example for the
mono grinder cause everyone told me it's not a good one. I added a little something about
the mag in the mag section. I have also learned that there are 10 guilds. Some of you also
call them Section IDs, sorry if it confused you.
Version 1.6 : i added again something in the mag section. Problem with the download quests.
Updated section 12 and section 3.
Version 1.7 : I added other differences between the versions, not in section 2 but in 
the walkthrough here and there. Ah...i created this walkthrough with the japanese version
and that's the price to pay for the official one. Don't hesitate to e mail me differences 
between what you read here and what you have found. I have corrected a lot of things.

Version 2.0 : I'm playing in hard mode and i have a tons of news. Look at section 5, look at
the advice for the battle against Dark Falz, 2 news sections appear, SIDE QUESTS and FAQS,
and i added information about download quests.
Version 2.1 : Minor correction for the Delsaber's buster, updated some information in the monster lists.
Version 2.2 : I obtained the download quest and explained what they are. Updated section 14. 
Thanks to someone, look at the credits section, the english in this faq was corrected. The text is 
not 100% perfect but it's more readable. Updated sections 5,6,7,8,9 and 12 (fourth phase of Dark Falz).
UPDATED SECTION 16, READ IT BEFORE ASKING ME HOW YOU CAN OBTAIN A DOWNLOAD QUEST. IF YOU ASK ME "HOW" YOU
WILL BE IGNORE, EVEN IF I DON'T LIKE TO IGNORE A MAIL.
Version 2.3 : updated section 14, download quest 4, title and description, added a credit, and updated
section 5 about shops.
Version 2.4 : updated section 5 as usual, and opened a new section for rare items. Updated the tips with
a secret area in the ruins and opened a complete new section, the HUmar guide submitted by Yann Dubois.
My walkthrough was also a HUcast guide because it's my character.
Version 2.5 : A new tips appeared in section 11. Updated section 14, download quest 2 and i gave the
maximum level for a mag in section 6. 

Please, keep in mind that i'm french, so in a gigantic faq like this, i can't avoid
grammatical errors.

1 REVIEW : 

The beloved saga that has begun on the Master System and continued on the
genesis touches the collection of the Dreamcast. I'm so happy to find this game
on my way even if it wasn't exactly what i expected as a huge fan of the
original saga. Phantasy Star On Line (PSO for everyone) is an ACTION RPG, yes
one more unfortunately, and not a RPG. The vocabulary of the saga is here but
that's all. The story is simple, Pioneer 1 leads by commander Ryco Tyrell has
find a planet where all the survivor of her old world can live in peace. All
is going well when suddenly the contact was lost. Pioneer 2 ,which was sent to help
Pioneer 1 to prepare the planet for a massive arrival and leads by the father
of Ryco, decides to stay in orbit around Ragol, the planet. Then the commander asks a
powerful hunter, you, to find his daughter Ryco and any survivors. Around this
tragedy leads a mystery and even some internal problems with pirates like black
paper and black hound. The governments knows more that they wanted to say but
nothing is sure. The only way to discover the truth is to investigate.
Especially at the beginning this scenario confuses the player because when you
are on Pioneer City you have to fulfill some missions to gain EXP and money.
Sometimes you completely forget this main plot or why you are here. After
this first cold contact the game becomes interesting.
The presentation of the game is so cool with good FMV, not very good however
(we can easily obtain the same on a Playstation), AND in the language you wish.
It's so cool from the Sonic Team to think to other people in the world. I think
that if each Dreamcast game was like that the Dreamcast will obtain a large
following in the future (even if...). The translation is very bad but it exists.
Graphically, even if i love Eternal Arkadia and even if PSO is not as various
as EA, it's the best game of the Dreamcast. You can only see the forest and the
city at the beginning of the game but you can't imagine how good the rest is.
However it's not really a japanese game, look at the design, look at the
general atmosphere, we are in Star Trek and not in Phantasy Star...I'll finish
with the furies which are ridiculous compared to Eternal Arkadia. 
The animation disapointed me a little at the beginning. Not 60 fps, the same
engine as "The Nomad Soul", with a better sprite of course but the same animation
for the hero. Where is the speed of Sonic, the differences between each
character ? The battles are good but at the beginning they are very annoying. In
hand to hand there is no possible combos and even if you do so they are not
fun. You must wait for the middle of the game to obtain fun fights, fun
weapons and interest. Well, don't despair cause the battles with the boss are
really excellent. Imagine Burning Rangers with more speed, in more oppressive and
with giant boss. There isn't a game with better boss battles on earth.
The sound is fantastic. Some music reminds me Ecco the Dolphin, so it's weird for a
RPG, but the music of the bosses, the music of the dungeons are excellent. At
least it's a very good background music. The sound effect are not so excellent
and there is no voice.
The manuverability is good but not excellent. The hero spends one second before he
moves or turns and begin to walk then run. In battle it's a problem cause some
time you can't lock correctly on the foe and when a NPC is with you, you
can lose a mission cause of this : The guy begin to walk when you run...
I come to the difficulty. You find that the game is hard, so am i. There will
be always someone to say the contrary but believe me, it's a difficult game.
And when you'll finish the game you will be surprised to learn
that the difficulty can be increased (see my walkthrough of course). At least
PSO is a good game but just as Record of Lodoss and every action RPG i played on the
Dreamcast (and i hate this style for this reason) i think the game is good only
after i have completed it. I remember the good point and the incredible action i
deploy to win. During the off line game, when you'll be stuck ,and you'll be
stuck once in a while unless you use a gameshark, you'll think to sell this game. The
challenge is real and can be a potential problem. Of course if you buy it for
the on line game it's different but even in that case i can show you a problem.
Ok, so i like this game, it's a good one and the on line game is really good,
but don't expect to play alongside my "Dandroid" before i reach the maximum level
and find the best weapon. Actually my character is  good but he can be better
and you'll discover here how to increase your hero's power.
Next time Mister Sega, before you make some games for Sony and Nintendo, be
sure to create a real phantasy Star RPG and a supreme Shining Force. Think to
the huge sega fan i am and people are, all around the world.

2 DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE VERSIONS :

In fact i played with the japanese version first and now i'm playing with the european
version, which is my official version.
Believe it or not, it's not the same game, not exactly.
I noticed less loading when choosing your skin.
I noticed a faster character animation, the difference is small but exists.
When you look at the sprite, it seems more thin in the european version but less large.
The bad translation has been corrected. (cool...)
You can read the message of Red Ring Ryco in the mine when you are looking for the boss
and especially in front of the door, it gives the tips to open it. (good idea...)
At the very beginning, when you have to choose between 50 or 60HZ, if you press A, you
make the test in the japanese version and B, you begin in 50HZ. Now if you press A you
begin in 60 HZ and B you play in 50 HZ. (this point concern only the european).

DEAR EUROPEAN, if you wish to play on line with american and japanese, you have to play
in 60 HZ mode.
DEAR AMERICAN, when you meet an european, try a mission with him instead of ignore him
Sometimes some of us, want to play with foreign players.
DEAR JAPANESE, disconnect sometimes so other people can play with you. Your server is
always full.

If you wish to play with a japanese player you must have a great level, like 85 to 100 (the
maximum).

If you notice other difference, e mail me them.

3 ON LINE MODE, ADVICES, PHANTASY PIRATE : 

1 : Once connected, you open your account for the game and you have two choices : 
	1 connect to the main server
	2 connect to the download server.
Choose 1 to connect on line. 

2 : As you are on line, you can create your own team and choose the proper parameter
(difficulty, hit team mate (not in USA) or not, password) or simply join a team. 

3 : If you are alone, travel from ship to ship and then visit the lobby to see who is
on line. Then chat with people so they come with you. (it's better to have a keyboard
for this).

4 : Once the team is created, the game on line is the same as the off line game,
except that you played new missions. (don't count on me to play 43 Hours on line to
obtain all of them).

5 : You can exchange your guild card with someone on line so you can send him e mail to
tell that you are connected.

6 : It seems that some people, (i receive mails that says that there are also european in
the group) plays on line like pirate. They wait for you die, take all your
money and weapon and then disconnect or search another victim. The game is not for that,
as everyone know. The best thing you can do is to shoot them. be sure that you can shoot
your partner (not in the USA) when you are in a team, if you detect a pirate, send a message to other
people so you can shoot him.
it's the only solution as long as there is no "police net" or "Sega police". USA players can keep a scape doll
in inventory to stop pirates.

7 : Once on line, if you press R, your name will change.
EXAMPLE : on line my name is DANDROID.
When I press R, it becomes DANDROID F025.
It means your username is Dandroid, F like french AKA the language you are using and 030 is
your current level. You can also see that the maximum level is 100. 

8 : I'm sad to admit it that but beware of people who join you during a quest
cause most of them are pirates. I played on line to test my skills and a group of pirate 
joins me. They were waiting for me to die... To avoid this problem protect your team with a
password.

9 : I know that i said i wiould wait to play on line but i have change my mind and now i'm using
this fantastic mode. So if you meet a DANDROID, you will be playing with a contributor of
gamefaqs, me.

10 : It's clear that on line the normal game is more difficult. The monsters have more hp and they
are numerous. I played the ruins and i had the feeling to be in hard. It's also true for
the boss, especially Dark Falz. The third phase will abuse the grants technique for a lot of unblockable
damage. Items found on line are more interesting than those find off line.

11 : On line to use ground switches you must stay on them. Each member of the team must press 
one to open the door. If you have two players in a team and there are 4 buttons, you will not be able to open
the door.

12 : Be sure to have other weapon in your bank in case of problem like pirate or sudden death. 

13 : They can hit us ! Yes, the japanese player can hit us. For example, a japanese player tested the power
of the delsaber's buster on me accidentaly, i lost 110 hp. Another one cast Megid and i lost 67 hp.
It's because the japanese version allow players to hit (or not) a partner when you create a team. You can count
on them to heal you immeditely after, they have honor (i agree with them), it's bad to hit a partner.

14 : i want to say that PSO on line is not Quake 3. I mean that it's a game where we can chat and except the
japanese player, no one chat. I like to ask if a person has or has not a keyboard for the dreamcast. A lot of 
people take the question as a taunt. I just ask it to know if i can chat with a guy on line or if i can just
obtain a "yes" or a "no" to a question. I can't believe that everyone bought a keyboard for his dreamcast.

if you see other things to add in this section, email me.

4 CHARACTER INTRODUCTION : 

These basic character skin can be encountered during the game. That's why i named
them. When you press start you are on ASH and then i named them from the left to
the right in selection mode. 

ASH : (humar) human + hunter, good in close combat, he can use some healing
techniques.
SUE : (hunewearl) human + newman, a well balanced character.
KIREEK : (hucast) human + android, Has more HP than the other class, very
powerful in battle but he can't use any techniques.
BERNIE : (ramar) ranger + human, good with a gun he can also use some healing
techniques.
DR MOME : (racast) ranger + android, he can use all weapons but has no technique.
ELENOR : (racaseal) ranger + android, identical to a racast, but has best dodging skill.
ALICIA : (fomarl) force + human, it's a very good magician and has a great
potential.
DR MONTAGUE : (fonewm) force + newman, it's an expert magician.
CICIL : (fonewearl) force + newman, identical in the way of the TP to a fonewm
but has more defensive point and less health point.

I personnaly choose a "hucast" and named him "Dandroid". Why such a choice ? In
ancient Phantasy Star i loved powerful and charismatic characters like Odin (PS 1) Rudo
(PS 2) and Wren (PS 3 and 4). Even if they can't use techniques (except Wren in PS 4 who
gained skills and Wren of PS 3 who can use only attack magic).
My advice is to take a character which can use techniques cause the game is more fun for
a magic user than a ranger. Also the magic effects are excellent and best of all,
SUE for example can use the Megido technique (i know it's Megid in the game but the "d"
has a bad translation) which is the most powerful magic of the world of Phantasy Star.

5 WEAPONS, SHOPS AND RULES : 

During the game in level normal, you will find weapons and armor that goes from
one star to five in power.
The game in hard is not so hard. The only difficuty comes from Dark Falz phase 4. Others bosses are the
same as in normal, it's easy to defeat them (i killed DE ROL LE in five minutes). 

Here are some rules to know on how about to obtain them : 

1 : The game analyzes your data and stats all the time and then updates the store for your level.
EXAMPLE : i was at level 29 with a lockgun + 18 and i find a rail gun which i
can use at level 31. It's the same thing for an armor (only for a hucast)

2 : If you find useless weapons sell them to the weapon shop so he can create new
weapons for you. 

3 : In each shop, except item shop, prices and items available are random.
EXAMPLE : You find a grand armor for 10 000 mesetas, it is this low of price because the slots
are 0. A 4 slots Grand Armor may be up to 34 000 mesetas.

4 : Dimate and trimate appears when you advance in the game normally.

5 : To obtain rare items like digrinder, scape doll, moon and star atomizer,
you need to find one in a dungeon and sell it to the item shop. She prepares
some randomly each time you visit the item shop. (japanese version)

6 : Each weapon is good against one race. For the others it depends on
percentage of hit (use L or R on the weapon to access it) and your stats.

7 : If you find a weapon like ????partisan, bring it to a tekker. He will tell
you which weapon it is, but if you don't believe it and exit then come back and he can
identify it as another thing. You could be surprised by the result. In the european version
the tekker proposes only two choices. This is a very good way to increase the Bonus % vs a certain race  

8 : As long as you can reach a superior level you can find new weapons in the
off line mode, even if you have a weapon with all stars illuminated.

9 : In caves and ruins, you'll see some enemies with colored blades, blue,
purple and yellow.  This tells you which elemental they're weak to.   
Blue is weak against fire, purple is weak against ice, and yellow is weak
against lighting. Yellow is immune to fire, purple is immune to
lightning, and blue is immune to ice. It's a very good info  for force players.

10: In hard and very hard, there is a 4th phase to Dark Force.

11 : I was at level 43 when all shops changed. Now i can't buy a monomate, but only dimate and trimate.
Also a Star Atomizer choice comes often. It's the same thing for the weapon shop, nothing under the 
absorb armor (for level 47). The weapon shop changed only in very hard.

ITEMS VERY USEFUL : 

Mono/di/trimate : to heal 50/200/FULL HP.
Mono/di/trifluid : to heal 50/200/FULL TP.
Mono/di/trigrinder : to increases the power of a weapon. Explore a dungeon and
use frequently a telepipe to see if there is one available (after you sell one
to the item shop of course for the Digrinder and Trigrinder).
Scape doll : if you die, this item revive you with all HP and TP. It works only
in the on line mode GRRRRRR !!!!! (wrong in other version than the japanese one).
This fact was corrected fortunately.
Here is the proof (thanks to Jeff Roberts).
"Ok,
 Well the first time i done it i was in the mines. I got surrounded
and killed, then after about 3-5 seconds i was brought back to life 
from the scape doll.
Second time i was fighting De Rol (the caves boss) on Hard and died 
twice but both times i was brought back with a scape doll.

Ragnarok"

Moon Atomizer : it can revive a friend near you and in your party. Only in on
line mode : double GRRRRRRRRR !!!!!!!!
Star Atomizer : is the most important item in off line mode. It can heal you
completely and also the jester who comes with you during a mission in off line
mode.
Telepipe : to escape from a dungeon and return to the town.

UNITS FOR ARMOR WITH SLOTS : 

It's better to have an armor with 3 or 4 slots to equip a maximum of them.

Marksman Arm (--, -, +, ++) : to increase the precision.

MATERIALS : 

Hit, Luck, Power, HP, Def, Mind, Evade.

WEAPONS I HAVE FOUND AND USE AND THE OTHER : 

GUN : 

Note that you can make combos with all weapons in all versions, i give a special
mentioned to the autogun cause Kyapiko and me were able to make combos only after we
found this gun. I though it was normal, but again i received a mail that says it's
possible to make combos with all guns. It's up to you to make them. It's a matter of
finding the correct timing of hitting the attack buttons.

dim/bind/heart Mech gun : the lowest version of the assault (with an extra
attack). You have a gun in each hand.

Assault : a gun in each hand, you can perform a 8 hit combos with it. Very fun
but not so powerful. You can find it after you kill Dark Force (japanese version)
or in the ruins (european version). It's a more powerful version of the mech gun.

Repeater : an upgrade version of the assault. Small difference in power.

Gattling : it's the best version i have for the moment (update 2.0). It's more powerful,
quickest attacks, so with a heavy attack you can make a 12 hits combos and the impact of the bullets
are excellent.

Vulcan : the vulcan is more powerful than a gattling, but the bullets haven't a good impact.

Handgun : the normal gun, ridiculous..., max = +75

Ice/thunder/mind/heat Handgun : the same but with an extra attack.

Autogun : a cool gun, the first with which i performed a three or four hits
combos. Also you have great chance to hit with a super attack.

Panic Lockgun (and other versions) : you never miss an ennemy with it in your
hand. COOL !

Railgun : a most powerful version of the lock gun but you can use it only at
level 31.(hucast) this weapon maximum upgrade is +25.

Railgun (special) : this weapon is in the ruins, it's green in the inventory, more powerful
(as powerful as a railgun +2) and you earn more money when you sell it.

Raygun : is smaller than a railgun and has less good precision. However it's extremely
powerful and speed. The maximum upgrade is +15. 

Fill Raygun : extremely useful against the native (+25%).

Master's Raygun : more powergul than a normal raygun, but only against the altered beast (+15%), 
this gun has more stars than the Raygun. You can hit the Pan arms with it.

Lord Raygun : extremely useful against a machine (+10%).

Burning Raygun : extremely useful against the dark (+20%).
  
DAGGER : 

Dagger (and other versions) : short sword, ridiculous, weak and useless.

Knife (and other versions) : a japanese style for this excellent weapon.

Blade : upgrade version of the knife.

Edge : the best visual combos award is for this weapon. Powerful and speed.

SWORD : 

Saber (and other versions) : a weak version of a brand and it's the initial
weapon often.

Brand : a more powerful version of the saber.

Buster : you find it in the mine but it's really powerful and excellent.

Pallasch : you find it in the ruins, it's good against a dark creature.

Dark Pallasch : more powerful than a normal Pallasch, it can also kill an ennemy
in one hit with the extra attack.

Gladius : it's a light saber with a lot of power. The pallasch is far behind.

GROUP SWORD : 

It's easy to make a 3 hit combo with those weapons. You have simply to wait the end
of the movement and press A with the rhytm.

Partisan : you hit the ennemy like the death. Cool against a machine.

Halbert : a more powerful version of the Partisan.

Glaive : is the most powerful version i have find for the moment of the partisan (update
2.0).

Berdys : superior to the glaive in all ways.

Gungnir : A powerful partisan. It's a good weapon.

Sword : a lowest version of the gigush.

Gigush : like Nightmare of Soulcalibur you hit a large group of foes. Found only after
the third boss.

Breaker : An intermediate big sword, nothing special.

Claymore : the third version of the sword or soulcalibur.

Calibur : the fourth version. Very powerful compared to the third version.

Slicer : same as above but you can launch it from far of the ennemy. It acts
like a boomerang.

Spinner : a more powerful version of the Slicer.

Cutter : the most powerful version of the slicer i have for the moment.

Sawcer : It is a slicer for short range, i don't like it.

Diska : the same but for normal range.

I also found and sell massively Staff, Rifle, Sniper, and some weird gun. The
game is more for a magician or a human than a ranger for items and for weapons.

6 MAG : 

The real originality in this game is the Mag. With it you can perform a fury :
Farlla (level 10)
Gorlla (level 35)
Varlla (level 50).
But there are more to discover, with another mag i discover new furies and new
form like apsarras, bana, kama at different level. To obtain furies like Etlla at level 35
or other, you need to take care of your mag : 
	1 Increase the SYNCHRO and IQ stats
	2 Be sure that all the parameters have identical level or around.

I want to add that if you feed your mag correctly and rise the synchro stats he can
become very powerful (i have a fury that makes 1000 points of damage) . It's very 
important especially in the mine and the ruins. The mag has also great possibility like 
protect you from damage after a fury if his IQ is high. 

The maximum IQ of a mag is 200, and i have find that 120% is the maximum synchro you can expect.

It's sure now that each class can obtained particular fury for a mag. I have heard from a
guy using a magician that one of the fury is healing the other member of his party.

To gain a fury you need to feed your mag so he can gain levels. You can give him
all potions like monomate, monofluid etc...

To perform a fury you must increase the gauge near your life bar. When it's
yellow and show 100 you can perform a fury. Hold R button down and then use an action button.

The name of the mag depends on how you feed him. The name will show the class
like mind class or strengh class for example. There are a lot of possibilities. It
depends also of your fighter. The fury's visual effect stays the same.

You can obtain other mag and feed them, in level normal it's rare (kyapiko
obtain a new one after the third boss and me only a gigush). It's random in
fact. You will find more in hard and very hard or even in on line mode by
exchanging it with a friend.

Each time you quit the game, on line or off line, the mag lose 5 to 10% of his synchro stats.
Why ? He is sad so let him alone...

Rare Mag : Mech Chaos, as in Sonic adventure.
	   Opa Opa : the ship of Fantasy Zone.

7 GUILD OR SECTION ID : 

Thanks to a mail i received, the theory become a reality, there are 10 guilds. 
I maintain that the card is called a guild card for two reasons :  
1 : It's called guild card in the instruction manual, 
2 : it's also the name of the file in your VMU, 
I found it natural to call Grennhill or Yellowbose a guild and not a section ID.
However i retract and prefer to call it a section id which is the true name.

If you don't like the name i give to the guild card, you can tell me but i will never change it.

There is an equation about it but i don't search it : 
For example, ADK is of the Yellowbose and Dandroid is of Greenhill.  
You notice on your guild card your nationality and you can enter a comment about it. You can 
exchange it with a friend on line so you can send to him a mail. 

8 MONSTER GALLERY : 

I write the name of the monsters and a litlle description, Cody submitted a full description of
each monster.

FOREST MONSTERS : (normal and hard for the moment)

Rag Rappy : same as in PS 3.
Booma/Gobooma/Gigobooma : slow in normal, powerful in hard. it becomes faster and more strong in Hard & VHard modes.
Mothmant + Monest : a plant that throw insects. In hard it gives lot of exp.
Hildebears : a king kong.  Can punch in close range, fireball at midrange, and Jump Attack from long range.
Savage Wolf/Barbarous Wolf : difficult to shoot cause they circle around you.

CAVE MONSTERS : 

Nano Dragon : hit them in close range. Don't let them fire. It can fly 
to a different area. 
Grass Assassin : it can freeze you in place with a breath attack. It 
may also charge at you from midrange.
Evil/Pal/Guil Shark : upgrade version of the booma. Faster & more 
powerful in Hard and VHard.
Pofuilly slime : it's long to kill. Use the heavy attack. You will only
get one attack attempt each time it appears out of the ground. It can drop good items in VHard mode.
Pan Arms : kill it when it split in two. Force classes can use spell attacks while it is joined, also 
use weapons that have a special attack of decreasing Enemy HP by 1/2 or 1/4. After that they died in one shot. 
Hidoom : the right part of the pan arms.
Migium : the left part of the pan arms.
Poison Lily : funny, after you laugh kill it.
Nar Lily : it's rare to kill one in normal but you will see a lot in very hard.

MINE MONSTERS : 

Guilchik : classic guard robot.
Dubchik : you must destroy the disk to kill them all.
Canadine : it's gray and move quickly.
Canane : it's a red canadine, if you don't destroy it, it turns into other bots.
Sinow Beat : The blue big bot is hard to kill. Can split into 5 to 
confuse you. Can jump back and forth to attack from long range. 
Sinow Gold : The gold bot is here to heal, less powerful than his brother.
Garanz : it's a machine with missile. it appears only when you are looking for the third boss.

RUINS MONSTERS : 

Chaos Sorcerer : You must kill him quick before he cats his magic.
Facing towards him, his left gem is for attacking, his right gem is for healing. 
Chaos Bringer : A big centaur. He is able to use a powerful sword 
attack at close range. He will also charge you from a long distance, this attack has a chance 
to confuse a victim.
Claw : easy to kill but they are numerous.
Bulkclaw : give more exp. It's four claws combined together. It will try to bite onto
you. This monster is slow and easy to kill. 
Dimenian/La/So Dimenian : the equivalent of the booma here.
Increasingly faster and more powerful on hard and VHard.
Delsaber : a pain in the neck. This monster give hard time to all heroes.
Becomes very powerful and fast on VHard mode.
Dark Gunner : Very annoying monster. Magic users can use lightning 
attacks against this monster at all times. Most 
hunters and rangers will want to wait until the Dark Gunner goes into
attack mode (An Eye will pop up from his body), at this point the monster is 
vulnerable to melee attacks.  
Dark Belra : this gigantic monster has very high HP. At close range he
will try to crush you. From long range he will launch a fist at you. This monster 
is weak to middle range attacks, he will be too close to launch the fist, 
but too far away to crush you. 

9 BOSS : 

Cody added to my boss section his own vision of the bosses. I found it excellent.
If you wish to read my vision of the bosses, simply read my walkthrough for the off line mode.

GOLD DRAGON : Excellent fight and very fun. Use a gun or a magic on
him. Even the beginning of the battle he will fall to the ground if you shoot his legs, this is your chance 
to get a very large amount of damage to him in a short time. If he burrows into the ground, he will try to charge 
at you. Attempts to dodge this attack become increasingly difficult on Hard, VHard.

DE ROL LE : a giant water snake, very hard and very long to kill. You need a
powerful sword or a gun. When he latches onto the side of the boat, try 
to use a weapon that can attack multiple targets, also move every few seconds to dodge the tube he shoots at
you. If he charges at you dropping boulders from the ceiling, move to the front corner of the boat to dodge 
this attack.

VOL OPT : If the first boss is fun, there is no word to describe how fun is this
one. The best fight of all the game. Imagine the last boss of Burning Rangers 
with more speed, multi ways to kill him and an oppressive timing.
Phase one, attack the computer screen that glows red (virus will be inside the screen), 
also attack the electric pillar that has a red flashing light. 
Phase 2, all of his attack can be dodged by running around him for a few seconds, 
then stopping to attack. It may be easiser for you to use the Radar map to run, rather then 
looking at the screen.

DARK FALZ (Dark Force with a bad translation name as in PS 1, I talk only of the translation
name, for the japanese name it depends on how you read the katakanas. The best is to hear how a
japanese player pronounces it.) : don't panic during the first phase and then the battle will be 
very easy in normal.
You need to kill between 3-10 floating skulls during phase 1. The skulls will have a purple light in them. 
During phase two, concentrate your attacks against one of the dragon heads. 
Phase three is very easy, keep attacking him until he dies. You can not dodge his attacks here. 
Hard & VHard will have a phase 4, you may only attack him while he is not
glowing, he will be solid black. If he is glowing colors don't bother attacking. If he goes high 
in the air, run around then circle to dodge his fireballs. You can use 
Resist-Holy/Saint to lower the damage dealt by his unavoidable grants attack. Be sure to keep full 
health during this battle, his attacks are very strong.

10 BUGS IN THE OFF LINE MODE TO KNOW : 

There is a big bug in the mine. You cannot read the message of Red Ring Ryco. If
you click accidentaly on it, use a telepipe to unlock you (japanese version) .

Sometime if you hadn't find a pillar in mine 2 before fighting the third boss,
after him you arrive in a room with a door and the game freeze. You need to shut
down the dreamcast and switch on it again... 

Well it's not really a bug but when you are in melee with the magician and a
centaur in the ruins sometimes the magician teleports you to the begininng of the floor...

It's possible that those bugs have been corrected in other version, but they are
confirmed in the japanese one. If you have the japanese version and never encounter
them it means you are lucky, but don't tell me it's a lie cause i experienced them.

11 TIPS : 

During the first loading of the off line mode or the on line mode, move the
analogic thumb to see a light following the moves. you can play with it during the
horrible loading.

In the off line mode, press Y then X to make appear all the sentences you can use in 
the on line mode. It's useless, but sometimes the people in the game try to answer and 
the answer can be very funny.

When you died you have 2 possibilities : 

1 : return to Pioneer 2 but you lose all moneys, items and your main weapon.
However you can go directly to the boss without replaying the dungeon. If you don't buy
a new weapon, you will find the one you had lose in the same room even if it's the
boss room.

2 : you can make a reset after you died. When you reload your game, you have all
exp, money, items you have found in the dungeon and even your main weapon. The
drawback is that you must replay entirely the current dungeon.
CAREFUL ABOUT THIS ADVICE, it's only for the japanese version, i have experimented it
with an european one, and i lost all the items and missions i had completed. When i reloaded, 
i was at my last save.

The game has an auto save after you finish a mission. You can save a game during
a mission but if you keep exp, money and items, you must restart the mission from
the beginning.

Note about the auto save feature : it has been removed of the us and european version,
that's why when you make a reset you return to your last save...

Secret Areas : 

Forest 2 : In room 7, a part of this room is hidden behind a mountain. Once you are in it, this
part appears on the map.

Forest 2 : There is a ROOM 9, i haven't mentioned just aside the room 7. In it you fight usually
Rappy and Hildebear. It's the only room locked in the mission Journalistic Pursuit. In this room,
a part of the map also appears only when you walk through. It's right of the entrance by room 7.
It's a little way, you find here a barrier switch and box.

There is nothing valuable in these secret areas.

Ruins 1 : In the room i called test room 3, in the mission Doctor Secret Plan, you see a hole and
a waterfall. Go toward the waterfall and walk on the border, you will go behind the waterfall.
This area never appears on the map. On line in very gard, you can find very rare items.

To avoid shooting flying mine, or simply to avoid they explode on you, press start button and walk
quietly between them. It's easy to do that, more easier than to customize your menu without a weapon
in it. (submitted by Renaud Mottier)


12 WALKTHROUGH FOR THE OFF LINE GAME :

You begin the game after a good FMV and in the principal's office. He asks you
to find his daughter "Red Ring Ryco". Then talk to the secretary and then to the
doctor and exit.

Welcome to Pioneer City, an artificial city made for spaceship. Here you will find a
hospital, some shops to spent money for armor, weapons and items. You will also find a
guild to obtain a work. So what are you waiting for, become a hunter and buy your own
house. Obtain a free ticket to Ragol and death. Cool, isn't it ?

More seriously find the guild and accept the first mission to enter the first
scenario.

SCENARIO 1 : WHAT HAPPENED TO THE NATIVE ?

The last report of the scientists of Pioneer 1, confirmed existence of those creatures.
They weren't so dangerous and they began some experiments on them to see if they can
use them for their personnal needs. They also succeeded in fixing the weather as they
wished but suddenly the weather became crazy exactly like the monsters who attacked
human without any reason. People of Pioneer 1 hide underground and we never heard any
news since this.

MAGNITUDE OF METAL :

Go in the forest. I have divided the dungeon in room so you don't need a map.

ROOM 1 : Use a barrier switch to access the chest here, then use a normal switch to
open the door.
ROOM 2 : Kill the monsters here and collect items. Now exit.
ROOM 3 : There are two exits here, one is locked so forget it. Focus on the monsters to
open the other exit.
ROOM 4 : You see a barrier and a door. Kill all the monsters to open both. Collect
items behind the barrier then pass the door. You find Elenor here. After you talk, she
joins you. Use the switch near her to access room 5.
ROOM 5 : Here use a barrier switch to collect items and pass the door.
ROOM 6 : Kill all the monsters. Use the barrier switch for items then exit.
ROOM 7 : Use the barrier switch to collect items, kill some monsters then use a switch
to open the door.
You are back in room 3, now go in room 1 to find the mag of Elenor and yours. After
that return to Pioneer City and talk to Garon at the guild. Now you can receive the
reward.

CLAIMING A STAKE : 

You must find a guy in the forest and rescue him if he is alive. Go in Room 3 to find
him. But he wants you to find some capsules, three to be exact. The first is in room
6, the second after the barrier in room 4 and the third can be find by using the way
you used with Elenor. Now return to room 3 and talk to the guy. A warp opens, use it to
return to the guild. Talk to your customer and then to the women at the guild to
obtain the reward.

BATTLE TRAINING : 

Once you have met your customer, search in the guild for Kireek. After you talk he joins
you. Return to the customer and talk. Now Ash lets you go in the forest.You begin
randomly in the forest but you must reach room 1 to find the guy you are looking for.
Once you find him, search the disk near and talk again to the guy. Kireek saves him
and leaves you. You have just to use the warp or create one with a telepipe to
return to Pioneer City. Talk to the customer and obtain the reward at the guild.

JOURNALISTIC PURSUIT : 

You begin this mission in room 4. Circle around until you reach Room 3 to find a warp
to Forest 2.

ROOM 1 : You begin here and see 5 exits. One is close. Try the one on the right.
ROOM 2 : Activate two switches here, collect items and kill some monsters. exit.
ROOM 3 : (It's the exit on the left in room 2).Collect items here. exit.
ROOM 4 : (it's the exit straight)collect items here.
ROOM 5 : it's the last exit and the good way. you must build the way to the computer.
Exit by the way that goes up.
ROOM 6 : collect items then go down to the exit.
ROOM 7 : activate 2 switches here and pass the door near one of the switch.
You are back in room 5, click on the computer here. Then the mission is over. Return
to the guild, talk to your customer and receive the reward.

NB : Forest 2 is not complete, you will visit more in an another mission.

THE FAKE IN YELLOW :

It's simple, find your way to room 7 of Forest 1, open the door by using the switch
here and click on the yellow giant monster called a rappy again and again until the 
scientist talk to you. Now return to the guild to receive the reward.

NATIVE RESEARCH :

You have 20 minutes to collect 5 samples of DNA of native monsters. Info 4 is in room 7 of
forest 1, it's a wolf. Info 2 is the rappy in room 1 of forest 1, and Info 1 is the
Booma in room 4 of forest 1. Now go to forest 2 and find the two last infos.Info
5 is in room 1, you must kill a giant gorilla to obtain it. Info 3 is the most
difficult to obtain. Go in room 4 and kill the flower. Search the ground and press A
to find the last info near her dead body. Return to the guild quickly and give your
report to Alicia. you can now receive the reward.

FOREST IN SORROW : 

Alicia comes with you cause one of the data samples seems to be wrong. You begin in room 6 and
you must go in Forest 2 by using the warp in room 3. Kill everyone in room 7 and don't
live this room before you meet a baby monsters. Behind a mountain is a small path, use
it to meet the monster. He runs cause he is afraid of you. Now reach
the computer that opens the bridge to the computer in room 5, then go to it after a
big fight in room 1. Use this weather computer to learn about the animal here. Now go
in room 3 for a very difficult fight and search again the baby. This time he can't
run. When Alicia talk to you answer "it's not a good idea" (answer 2), and the mission
is over. Go in the guild and collect money.

GRAN SQUALL : 

A boat has crashed here. you must find it. You begin to find Bernie in room 4 of
forest 1 and answer "yes" when he offers to come with you. You need him to open some
doors here and reach Forest 2. In Forest 2, find you way to the room 3. After the
classic battle, you find a new teleport that wasn't here in previous mission. Use it to
access to room 8 (sometimes, this warp can be in another room) .
ROOM 8 : here, kill everyone of course, then use a warp to use a barrier switch and
collect items once you come back, and then advance to find the girl Bernie was
searching. He left you to save her and you have just to use a telepipe to return to
the guild and receive your money.

Now the game is blocked and doesn't offer the new set of missions. So return in the forest
and go in room 8 of forest 2. You will see a new teleport that wasn't here before. Use
it to reach the first boss.

BOSS : GOLDEN DRAGON : 
It's simple, with a gun, at level 8, i circled around him and shot his head. Exactly
as in Record of Lodoss War you must be sure that the monster never flies. If he does, he
may dive in the ground and does great damage to you. To be sure he never flies, stay
not so far away from his head so he keeps trying to eat you. Takes a little time to get used to,
but he is the easiest boss.

After this awesome battle talk to the principal and now a new set of missions is
available. 

CONCLUSION : the data Alicia found wasn't wrong, she concludes that this monster is
not a native but an altered beast. The cell have mutated and only human can do this.

SCENARIO 2 : HOW CAN HUMAN CREATE AN ALTERED BEAST ?

Now you will reach a new dungeon, the cave. There you will find the upgraded
version of natives, the altered beasts. Your real mission is to understand who did this
to the underground creatures on Ragol, or how it happened.

THE VALUE OF MONEY : 

After you talk to the customer, go in the weapon shop and talk to the man here. Answer
"NO" and "YOU ARE STUPID" or something like that. Then go to the customer, talk to her
then return to the husband in the weapon shop. Talk then return to the guild for the
last time. Talk to the customer, then to the guild to receive the reward.
After this awesome mission, choose the next one...

ADDICTING FOOD : 

A women want to eat sweet food. You learn in town that three sisters have disappeared
and they were the bakers of Pioneer 2. You must find them to help your customer. Go
in the cave.

NB : THERE ARE THREE DIFFERENT MAPS OF B1, THREE OTHERS FOR B2 AND THREE FOR B3. IN
EACH MISSION THE MAP IS DIFFERENT, DON'T EXPECT A CERTAIN MAP. THE CAVE IS
THE ONLY DUNGEON THAT CAN CONFUSE YOU. IT'S A LONG AND DIFFICULT DUNGEON.

CAVE 1, MAP 1 :

Two new things appear, a ground switch on which you must walk on to activate it and
healing ring in which you stand under to... heal HP/TP (there are some in the forest but i have never

with a switch that opens the locked door in room 1. So use the exit of the right.
ROOM 5 : (right) Here you can buy a cake. There are 2 exits, right and left.
The mission is over once you have the cake. The crazy sisters want to prepare some
again before they return to Pioneer, if you use a telepipe and bring it to your

Cicil comes with you and she mustn't use a healing item. You must find the waterfall
of cave 2. First find your way to cave 2. It's long but easy. Beware cause the map can
be different from the one you now. It could be Cave 1, map 2. (Try to use the map of
WATERFALL TEARS, even if you don't begin in the same room).

CAVE 2, MAP 2 : (i just give the good path for now cause later you will have the
opportunity to explore it. Of course you will begin in other room so i will change the
room number)

ROOM 1 : Exit by the right.
ROOM 2 : Go straight and follow a corridor.
ROOM 3 : Go straight and follow another corridor. Go left then and you arrive in the

ROOM 4 : Switch on the light, kill and exit.
Now you will find your way to cave 2. Near the end of this floor you meet a hunter,
exit to cave 2. In cave 2, you can use the map of ADDICTING FOOD, the only
difference is that you must find a purple switch further in the dungeon. NEVER talk to
the robot you find or you will have to fight him. Once you find Elenor, return to the
hunter you have meet, talk again and use a telepipe to exit.

THE GRAVE'S BUTLER : 

The map of cave 1 is the same as in ADDICTING FOOD. So use it to reach cave 2. Search
the waterfall room in cave 2 and read the message there, then use a switch to exit. Pass the
door and you return to Pioneer City to collect the reward.

BLACK PAPER : 

After you meet the customer, read the letter on the quest board, then go to the cave.
You can return to cave 2 cause the map is the same in theory. In cave 2, search the waterfall
room and kill a hunter. Now go straight. In the next room go left to use a warp and
reach the switch that opens the door right. Exit straight in the next room, then right
and you find the warp to cave 3.

ROOM 2 : Kill then exit.
ROOM 3 : Kill, you see 2 exit. Straight leads to items, and left with the message is
the good way.
ROOM 4 : Kill then exit.

exit of here.
ROOM 6 : You see 3 exits. First use 3 switches on the ground and pass the door. Switch
on the light here, kill and collect items. Return to room 6, pass the second door to
reach a switch and open the third door in room 6.
ROOM 7 : Kill then exit.
ROOM 8 : You see 2 exits. Left leads to items, then use the other exit to reach a warp.
Use it.
ROOM 9 : Kill then exit. 
ROOM 10 : Kill then use a switch and barrier switch. Exit.

CAVE 2, MAP 3 :

ROOM 1 : enter, kill then exit. 
ROOM 2 : You see 2 exits. Go straight first.
ROOM 3 : In this room you see 3 exits. Left and right lead to items. So exit north to a
warp. Use it to find a barrier switch, exit and use a switch to arrive in room 4.
ROOM 4 : The exit of the left is the second exit of room 2. Use the barrier switch
then exit.
ROOM 5 : Kill then exit.
ROOM 6 : Kill, use all ground switches here to exit.
ROOM 7 : Kill then exit.
ROOM 8 : You see 2 exits. Straight leads to items, so go right.

use it.
ROOM 4 : Kill, then you see 3 exits. Use 4 ground switches. Left leads to items, south to
a barrier switch and last you can exit north to room 5. 
ROOM 5 : kill, then use 2 switches on the ground. The exit west leads to a room then to
room 3, so exit straight to room 6.
ROOM 6 : Kill then exit.
ROOM 7 : Use 4 ground switches to exit.
ROOM 8 : Kill then exit.
ROOM 9 : Kill then exit to the boss.

BOSS : DE ROL LE :

I was at level 20 when i killed him. Be sure you have 10 dimate, 10 monomate with you.
You can hit him with a gun but the battle is very very very long, that's why i used a
sword (in this case the battle is difficult...) .
You can hit him when he attaches his head onto your boat. He will attack with his tentacle
but you must break his head. Give 6 hits the first time and run from the tentacle,
then you can give 4 hits and run from the tentacle. You will see his true head then.
When he flies, be sure you are on the corner of the boat and no stone will touch you.
When he switches off the light and show his head, you can give 2 hits to his head with a
gun and run from his laser beam.
After 25 to 45 minutes he will escape. You will kill him later.

NB : THIS IS THE MOST DIFFICULT FIGHT OF THE GAME, DON'T E MAIL ME ABOUT HIM, CAUSE I
CAN'T TELL MORE. IF YOU WIN, YOU COMPLETE SCENARIO 2. I CANNOT DO OR SAY ANYTHING
MORE.

CONCLUSION : By reading the message of Ryco you have learned that this snake use his
tentacle to mutated the underground native into altered beast. But you also learn that
he is an altered beast and probably the first. So the real question is what happenned
to him ?

SCENARIO 3 : THE MINE, WHERE THE MACHINE KILLED HUMAN :

After you talk to the principal, a new set of missions appears. It's clear that
to find what happened to the altered beast you must go further in Ragol and find the
explanation in the mine, the place where experiments began. 

KNOWING ONE'S HEART : 

Elly comes with you to find Calus. Go to the Mine.

ROOM 1 : Exit by the open door.
ROOM 2 : Kill then use a switch to open the locked door in room 1. You see 2 exits, 
left and north. 
ROOM 3 : (North) Is for an item so go left. 
ROOM 4 : (left) Exit to room 5.

ROOM 6 : Kill then exit, use a switch to open a locked door, exit by the door near 
the switch to collect items and the hunter will open the last door of this room.
ROOM 7 : Destroy the disk to stop the robots. Exit.
ROOM 8 : Kill then switch on the light on the left. North exit leads to items so exit
right.
ROOM 9 : Run to the disk to destroy the robots. Near the entrance is a room with items
and a switch. However exit by the left exit. 
ROOM 10 : Kill the mine of the corridor, enter the room and kill. Pass a door left to
find a purple barrier switch. Return to room 10 and this time, exit north.
ROOM 11 : Switch on the light here and exit. You find the computer. Use the disk on it
to collect datas. You are free to say your name or not to SUE, but it's better to not say
your name if you wish to obtain the Soul Eater in normal mode. The mission is over,
return to the guild and receive the reward.

UNSEALED DOOR : 

Doctor Mome has decided to come with you, unfortunately. This guy is like a millstone
round your neck. You will find it difficult to drag him than walk in the dungeon...It's the most
difficult mission of the game, so again don't e mail me about it, all is here, the
rest is up to you and you only. Defeating the Worm boss with this NPC is tuly difficult
and it requires skill and 10 star atomizer.

First bring him to the computer, you can use the map of Mine 2, there is no problem.
Then exit of the room by going straight, to find three ground switches and an access to
mine 1.

MINE 1 : 

ROOM 1 : Kill and exit.
ROOM 2 : Kill, switch on the light and exit. You arrive then in known rooms so use the
map of Mine 1 above to eventually reach room 16. Things have changed. Killed two big
bots and pass the door to the last part of Mine 1.
ROOM 17 : Kill then exit.
ROOM 18 : Use 4 ground switches, exit.
ROOM 19 : Use 4 ground switches and exit.
ROOM 20 : Use a barrier switch, kill and pass the door for items. Return to room 18
and exit north now.
ROOM 21 : Kill, you see 2 exits. Right leads to items so exit north.
ROOM 22 : Kill, you see 2 exits. Right is the good exit, cause the other leads to a
couple of rooms and items. You have find the warp to the underground channel.

UNDERGROUND CHANNEL : 

BOSS : DE ROL LE :

1 : As i say above, before you fight him with Mome, you must be sure to have 10 star atomizer. You can
find one in mine 2, in Room 5 after you destroy a disk. exit by using a telepipe, and
cancel the mission. Replay the scene until you have 10 star atomizer.
2 : Mome has 5 monomate with him. Be sure that in the dungeon he never uses one. Don't
e mail me it's impossible, it's possible cause i do it many times.
3 : During the fight with the boss, choose to shoot with a gun. If the boss focus on
Mome, try to receive the tentacle hit instead of letting Mome receive it. Then the
monster will focus on you. 
4 : The most difficult thing is to protect Mome from the purple fireball, cause it
makes combos on him and kill him. Be sure you protect him.
5 : When the light disappeared, don't even try to shoot the head cause of Mome. If you
do one shot and run, Mome will be hit cause he runs later after you.
6 : Be sure you have all your time cause this battle is very very very.... very long.

I was at level 25 when i succeed. It's possible but you need all your skills.

AFTER the battle, Mome concludes that Beta 772 has infected this monster after Calus
releases it in nature. But the cell has disappeared in it and this boss is nothing but a
monster. The last question is who corrupted the computer and realease the virus in
nature ? It's the one responsible of the death of humans.

Now the game is blocked again and you need to return in the mine to look for the third
boss.

BOSS : VOL OPT :

PHASE 1 : shoot the spike in air so it goes down, then shoot the screen when you see
the virus inside.
PHASE 2 : You can choose the part you wish to destroy, then he died. Now you collect items,
use a warp to a room and access to a path with a sealed door, it's the only enigma of the game
so  be careful.

HOW TO OPEN THIS DOOR ?

1 : NEVER try to read the message of Ryco. It's only for the japanese version, sometime
you can use a telepipe but sometimes the game freeze. If you have other version you can
read the message.
2 : Use the warp to Pioneer 2 only if during Mine 2, you have find a pillar and
activate it. IF YOU HAVEN'T FOUND IT : quit the game and save after you have seen the
door, you can return to Pioneer City if you wish.
3 : you will replay the dungeon and in mine 2, you find a pillar this time. kill the
boss again and this time use the warp to Pioneer 2 to save your victory.
4 : DON'T QUIT THE GAME NOW !!
5 : Search a second pillar in Forest 2, and a third in Cave 2. Activate them. 
6 : The door is now open, enter the ruins.
7 : You have two choices, one is going directly to the last boss and finish the game,
the other is to exit by using a telepipe to look at the three last missions. 

CONCLUSION : Mome has analyzed the research of Doctor Osto. The cell Beta 772 was
released and altered the native cause the computer was corrupted. In the ruins is the
secret of all of this, so it's time to finish this story.

FROM THE DEPTHS :

switch. Now use the "exit of the right 1" to use a new warp. Use the machine here to
collect datas. Exit then Ash leaves you and you can return to the guild by using a
telepipe.

Now all the missions are cleared. You see them in yellow and can replay them for exp
and money. But don't do that.

CONCLUSION : Ryco is possessed by Dark Force and she corrupted the computer and
created all the problems. You must chase her now.

Return to RUINS and go in ruins 3; Now the last door have opened. You can explore
RUINS 3 easily that's why i don't give a complete map. At the end you find
the teleport warp to the last boss.

FINAL BOSS : DARK FORCE : 

When you arrived here, click on the Pandora's box in front of the obelisk. DARK FORCE
appears.

PHASE 1 : You are surrounded by 1000 mines, don't panic and shoot two of them and
they disappear. You must shoot those with purple smoke inside them. It's important to know
it cause in on line mode you must shoot more than two.
PHASE 2 : the monster have 3 heads. Destroy the one on the right cause it's the
healing head. To do this try to circle around him, and stays behind him so he can
never use ice or fire on you. Once this head is destroyed, all are destroyed
automatically.
PHASE 3 : It's time to stay in front of him with 10 dimate or 10 star atomizer and
shoot the ball under him. I used 9 dimate for this battle and he died. Also you have great
chance that he didn't use the grantz technique on you. If you are near he will hit you with
a freeze spell or a fire spell. Grantz is when you are far from him. In hard on line, it casts
also a fall rain, like Zyo of PS4. You can avoid this attack but you must run.

I was at level 30 when i won in one battle. This battle is very very easy in normal.
However i received news from Kyapiko and he wasn't able at level 26 to win against
him. I have also heard of the multi players technique on gamefaqs but really i don't
know why everyone finds this boss so hard. It's a real easy fight in normal.

PHASE 4 :(only in hard and very hard) I have fought it on line with a japanese player at level
100 and it wasn't easy. In this phase, Dark Falz takes you in the air. It turns into a giant 
creature and has several attacks. First you can shoot him only when he turns "solid". Usually he
goes in the air and launch light ball on you. In this case you must run around him. Then he casts
Grantz, With Resist Saint on you you can survive and heal, but you must be quick to heal unless it's too
late. Even without Resist Saint, you can survive but you have also great chance to die in one 
hit. I think that it depends of your current speed. If you begin to run when he casts the spell
it's too late. You must shoot the same ball as in phase 3 when he is solid but this time it's his
heart. If you are not in front of him, you can have some problem to lock on it.
To be simple, run, equip yourself with Resist Saint, be sure to have 10 trimate and 10 star
atomizer and don't forget 3 or 4 scape doll. If you win, you will see the soul of Red Ring Ryco
fly in the sky. Yes in hard she rests in peace, not in normal.

ENJOYED THE END, Commander is crying, you go on Ragol to leave in peace. then there
will be an auto save. Reload your file and you see that you have played in level
normal. Now begin to play in Hard with you character and all items, exp and gold.
Later you will play in very hard. Why this ? just to obtain a powerful character for
the on line game. It's important if you wish to play with a japanese player. Also i noticed that
the game makes a screenshot of your skin and includes it in the image during the credits,
it also shows to you the oav version of your skin, impressive.

Now hero, the rest is up to you.

							ADK, ALIAS DANDROID IN THIS GAME.

14 DONWLOAD QUESTS :

Well, let's begin by how to find them.
1 : You need to go on line, yes connect yourself on line. You need the correct game
nationality and the correct dreamcast of course.
2 : If the game said that your username is incorrect, it's because you have donwload
some files from a foreigner site with it. In this case you need to reinstall the
dreamkey...
3 : Once connected, you open your account for the game and you have two choices : 
	1 connect to the main server (ship select)
	2 connect to the download server.
Choose 2 to find the download quest.
The problem is that you cannot access to this menu during your connection.
you can only choose your ship. The download server is not ready for the moment
in other version than the japanese one. 
Now the american server has opened the download server, with the letter from Lionel.
The quests are excellent. You will do and see things and corridors you have never seen in the game. 
Actually only one quest, Letter from Lionel, is international. However it's limited to the language of your 
dreamcast. The japanese downloadable file can be used with other version but can be downloaded only if you 
have an account on Isao net. In Japan, before the appen disc, Sega has opened a challenge between players, 
you can download it, but can't enter the contest if you haven't a japanese Dreamcast.
Each quest is built to help people to reach the level 100. 

Ok Let's go : 

DOWNLOAD QUEST 1 : LETTER FROM LIONEL/LA LETTRE DE LIONEL/MAIL NO LIONEL : (110 BLOCS)

The guild has received a mail from Lionel, an android. First read the quest board. Now go to the
forest. Find your way to Forest 2. Go in Room 3 and talk to a hunter. Then you can use a warp
to room 8. You can kill the monsters first but it's better to use the other warp. You arrive in a
small room with the head of the android. It's alive. Read the quest board to chat with the head
of Lionel. You must chat until it gives a clue about the next part of him you must find. You have
probably noticed a room locked in forest 2. Once Lionel says : "i must be in a stomach", this
room opened. Go in and kill the hildebear. You obtain the arm of Lionel. Talk with the arm by
using the quest board and it gives a clue for the legs. Go in Forest 1 and in room 2 you find the
left leg in the river. Talk to the leg by using the quest board and you learn that the other leg
is in the cave. 
To go in the cave, return to room 8 of forest 2 and do as if you wish to go to the boss. The
difference is that the warp takes you to the cave. The right leg is in cave 2.

Fourth map of the cave : 

ROOM 1 : Kill and exit.
CORRIDOR 1 : be careful.
ROOM 2 : Kill, you see 2 exits, north leads to a dark room and then to items. Go left.
ROOM 3 : Kill and exit.
ROOM 4 : 3 mines, exit.
CORRIDOR 2 : Go right to go in room 5, you can also go straight.
ROOM 5 : Kill and exit, use the warp. Use another warp to open the door, you are back in the
corridor, go straight now.
ROOM 6 : Kill and exit.
ROOM 7 : Kill, you see 2 exits, One to a healing ring and the other is the good.
ROOM 8 : After a third corridor, kill, you see 3 exits. Left for an isolated room, the north door
is locked, you can go right.
ROOM 9 : Use 4 ground switches, go in the dark room, switch on the light and kill. Once you
return in room 9 you see a Pan Arms in Cave 1 (it's impossible normally). Use the second door of
room 9.
ROOM 10 : The exit left leads to room 8, and the other to cave 2.

Once in cave 2, you will visit a maximum of 3 rooms, i can just say that you follow the way to
the leg because it's simple.
Talk with the leg and now use a telepipe. Near the guild is the hunter you saw in the forest,
talk to him until he gives the body. Congratulations, Lionel is complete. Now go in the guild
talk to him and receive the reward. 

This quest is very fun, and the monsters appear and attack as in very hard, even in normal. This quest is
available now in America, but not in Europe.

DOWNLOAD QUEST 2 : A NEW WEAPON : (66 BLOCS)

You must set up the language of the game in japanese to play this one. Otherwise the VMU will
not recognize it.

The customer, Oswald wants four "ingredients" to create a photon weapon. He obtained an access to the
secret research about photon weapon and now, he wants to make one. He offers to give it to you in 
addition of the reward. You have access to two dungeons, forest and cave. Read your quest board to 
see the list of items you must find.
Go in the forest, in room 1 and room 7 you find a "Moon Tyte" (you have 2 now). Go in
Forest 2 and fight the dragon. You obtained a "Dragon Scale". It's time to return to Pioneer 2 and to
enter the cave. Advance in the dungeon and find a room with 2 exits. One leads to a healing ring and
the other to a rock with shining stars on it, this room is splited into two parts and i'm talking of
the part with the rock, search the rock to obtain an item. Find your way to cave 2 and search the
waterfall room. You see another rock. Search an item in it. Now you can go to cave 3 for exp or
simply return to Pioneer 2.Talk to the customer, he offers 3 choices in kanji. It's Sword,
Staff and Gun but the kanjis were so small that i'm not sure. Anyway, talk to him and choose one of
the three until he gives a weapon. Then talk to him and you can receive your reward as in a classic
mission.

Note : You can obtain a lot of weapons, all are using the photon. I'm sure that rare items aren't in
this quest fortunately. I obtain a poor Frost Sword and a poor Frost Staff because i used the first choice 
and the second. I haven't choose the third yet.

DOWNLOAD QUEST 3 : A VERY SPECIAL TEST FOR A HUNTER : (37 BLOCS)

You must set up the language of the game in japanese to play this one. Otherwise the VMU will
not recognize it.
Donoph, a hunter wants you come with him in the ruins to kill 99 monsters in less than 30 minutes.
Zoke the great swordman didn't do better. You can answer "??" or "!!" to Donoph. It's better to answer 
"!!". You go in ruins 3 alone and find him there. Kill 99 monsters to complete this mission. It's easy 
and Donoph count them for you.

Note : a new tekker appears in town and some new characters. There is probably a side quest but as all
is in japanese i will wait for the translation. Anyway no one in town is happy about the success of
Donoph.

DOWNLOAD QUEST 4 : PSO FAMITSU CUP : (110 BLOCS)

This quest is sponsorized by Famitsu the great video games magazine in Japan. I really doubt of a
translation, but who knows...
You must set up the language of the game in japanese to play this one. Otherwise the VMU will
not recognize it.
This quest is special. You go (off line) in the forest, cave and mine and play some mini games. 
Once the quest is completed the game store your time in memory. A japanese player can
put his record on the official site of the challenge and there is a ranking between all the japanese
players. If you haven't an account on Isao net and a japanese dreamcast, you can play this quest but you 
will not enter the contest.
Ign, has announced a similar contest in America. Nothing for Europe...

During all this quest when you have a choice it's yes or no. The question is each time : "Do you know 
the rule of this mini game ?". Answer yes each time to gain time.
The goal is to complete this quest as fast as possible.

Forest : 

The commander asks you to go in the forest to begin the contest. In town everyone say a lot of interesting
things about it and you can see signs for Famitsu. Go in the forest.
You know the game, stone, cissor and leaf ? This is it. Shino appears to explain that you need 11 points
to be as strong as Sakura 66 (who is she ?). To obtain points you must beat four opponents.
	First oppopnent : Rag Rappy : 
You find him in room 6. Talk to him and you have three choices : 
	GO
	SHYOKO
	BAR
If you win with a go, you earn 2 points, with a shyoko 1 point and with a bar, 5 points. It's the same
thing for others opponents. Use the warp to go directly to another opponent.
	Second opponent : A scientist who works with Alicia.
	Third opponent : in the same room, pass the blue barrier and talk to a ship. Yes it is the third
	opponent.
	Fourth opponent : in room 7, near the Rag Rappy, is a stone hidden somewhere. Talk to it to meet
	the fourth opponent. Once you have 11 points talk to Shino and she opens the path to the cave.
	
Cave : 

Very fun and very freak at the same time. You talk with Morrigan (not the one of Capcom ok ?). She asks
you to find a friend. Search a door that can be opened. In it talk to Type 0 and he comes. He is a
witness. Talk to Morrigan and she disappears. You must chase her. (She is the girl possessed by Dark Force
In the mission From the Depths).

1 : You must go through this corridor without dying. Type 0 will wait for you at the end of the corridor.
2 : You see rocks and a barrier. To open the door you must reach the switch. This room has a particular
property : It acts as a giant warp. You must find the good pixel to be teleported near the switch and
then near the door. Begin to go right and near the rock to reach the switch and then go near the entrance
to reach the exit. Long but not hard.
3 : Each time you destroy a box in this room, an ennemy appears. Kill them all. Exit.
4 : Morrigan is hidden on the left of the room. She is invisible, so lock on her. Once you talk she
escapes again.
5 : Kill all monsters and protect Type 0. Exit.
6 : In the waterfall, Morrigan stuns you and you lose precious time. Exit as fast as possible...
7 : Go right instead of straight. In the next room switch on two ground switches and pass the door on the
left (not the one north left) to switch on two more ground switches, Then you use a warp. You are now in 
a room, kill and exit. You are in the path that went straight. Return to the room with 2 ground switches 
and pass the door north left for a little challenge. Kill some monsters quickly (talk to the creature to
begin the challenge). Last pass the door north right. In this new room, search four invisble ground 
switches and each time you use one, kill a monster.
Last pass the door straight for items and the door opened with 4 switches to reach the end of this floor.
8 : Talk to Morrigan and she opens the way to the mine.

Mine : 

You meet a hunter. It's the guy who helped Kroe at the begining of the mission Waterfall Tears. He wants to 
test your speed. The goal here is to touch him. Once you lock on him press A repetively to touch him a lot 
until he admits you are faster than him.

Stage 1 : in the room you meet him, begin to chase him. In the next room kill all monsters. You find the
next stage.
Stage 2 : He is in the center of the room. Use a warp to reach him.
You must touch him and 2 doubles of him (the impact are not the same). It's long. You can access from here
a small room, in it there is an invisible man who gives an item a price because you search him. You can
visit all rooms here for items and fights but find stage 3.
Stage 3 : The hardest and the longest of all. Our dear hunter continues to teleport from a corner to
another but never in a corner you are. Simply go in the opposite direction and be on the corner once he
is to win. After this stage, follow him, talk to him and you can exit to Pioneer 2. 

To quit this mission talk to the commander and then to the girl. She will ask if you wish to quit (no or
yes in this order) and if you wish to record your time (no or yes in this order). After that you quit
this challenge. 

It is simply excellent. Congratulations Sega !

CONCLUSION : We lost the best part of the game with the downloadable quests. Sega of America and Sega of
Europe must translate it as soon as possible. It's unforgivable to let players of the entire
world outside of the fun. The server must be the same for everyone. PSO has a big success in Japan
and when we will have the four quests (and maybe only three) the japanese players will play with two
or three others. It's sure that other downloadable quests will be available in the future. 
Keep in mind that names of the quest 2, 3 and 4 will be different and items in quest 3 also. It's not
an exact translation. I will fix everything with the official version.


15 PHANTASY STAR HISTORY AND THE MISSING LINK : 

PHANTASY STAR 1 : during 1987, PS 1 appears. It was the first japanese RPG ever
made. Scenes in town are like in other PS but in dungeon there was a first person
view and free movement like in a doom like and not as in dungeon master for
example. This "four mega plus" cartridge was full and i used more than 20 hours
to finish this game. WHY ? the dungeon was like labyrinth, i need to draw a map
for the multi level. The package talked of 16 multi level dungeons, i have found
31. Few towns were available but the game wasn't linear. You can go where you
want, explore the dungeon in the order you want and you can visit Parma, Motavia
and Dezolis by using battle station, ships, hovercraft or your feet. Sometimes
you must find the dungeon and what to do to advance in the story cause the game
gives little information about the quest. There were 4 characters in your party, Alys the
legend, Odin the hunter, Myau the strange cat and Noah (known as Lutz in other
episode). PS 1 was a gigantic surprise when i played it on the master system and
i buy the re edition on the genesis only released in Japan. It was the same but 
more beautiful. PS 1 had also beautiful images in the game. They were increased in
the genesis version.
In 342 of Alys World (A.W), Nero (Nei in the japanese version) was the first who
discovered Dark Force inside the heart of Lashik. He was killed and Alys, her
sister, decides to avenge his death. She meets Myau and Odin and later Noah on the way. 
Alys begins to visit Parma, then Mota to meet the gouvernor and fight
a habitant of Mota (which were one of the heroes in PS 4 (GRIMM)) and then
Dezolis. Of course her quest finished on Parma. She meets Medusa and some other
boss. She completed a quest for the Laconia Sword (Nero's sword or Nei's sword)
and armor which was the only one able to kill Lashik. Myau became a dragon to
fly to Sky Castle (Game Arts used this idea later on Lunar). At the end of the
game they kill Lashik and Dark Falz (it's "Force" of course but it was badly
translated). There were two endings : Alys does or does not become the queen of Parma.

PHANTASY STAR 2 : In 1989, the second RPG of the genesis appears after Super
Hydlide. This was also an excellent surprise for me. The story was excellent but
the technique so poor. This 6 mega cartridge has long labyrinth (more than 19, as
they said on the package). 
This is the story of Rolf, an orphan saved from a crash by an unknown person. In
1284 A.W, he was haunted by nightmare more often. He find a creature that grows into
an adult and named it Nei (a girl this once). All Mota is ruled by a computer
named Mother Brain which appears mysteriously. Strange events occured and Rolf
begin to search why. He met 8 other characters in this game. My favorite was Nei
of course, Rudo the clone of Odin, the girl with green hair and the slasher and
Cain. You can change their name. The hero gain the Megido technic at level 34 or
35. After a long time, Nei was killed by Nei first, her darkside. Then Rolf kill
her. They find that the problem was a bug in mother brain. They decide to cut
all transmissions with it by opening four dams and they were arrested. Sent in
Gaya the space prison, Mother Brain use it to destroy Parma. They were saved by
Captain Tyler (who has a town of his name in PS 4). In Dezo they find Myau's
children all Nei's weapons and armor and meet Lutz. 
After he awakes from his cryogenic sleep, he told to Rolf the truth : 
he is an esper and can live more than 200 years, he was the one who saved
Rolf from Dark Force and the crash and last Rolf is the last descendant of ALYS.
They were teleported and opened the pandora's box to kill Dark force (a crude
joke appeared, "oh a new weapon, huh ? oh no, it's Dark Force..."), Using all the
power of the Megido Technique they kill him and a wonderful mother brain. Last
they discovered the truth : 
100 earth men escaped from a collapse in noah's arch. They built Mother to help
the people of Mota but their anger awoke Dark Force. They enclosed him in the
Pandora's Box. But he escaped and corupted them and Mother Brain. Now they are
THE Dark Force. Without a chance to win, they engaged a desperate battle and
all (earth men and heroes) died. Rolf asks who in Mota will kill Dark Force in
1000 years and then disappeared.

PHANTASY STAR 3 : In 1991, appears the third episode. It was the first RPG i
played so don't ask me if it's good. Many people said that it was not as good as
PS 2, but in fact they don't understand the link with other episodes or never
finished it because of the poor battles. You can change of hero during the game with
a system of generation and only Wren and Mieu stays all the game. There were
three quests (one and two were long and three very short) , seven worlds and
two moons to explore. It's the longest of the saga. There were 4 endings. PS 3
has the best sprites for players but also the badest fights of all the saga.
Another problem of the american translation was the names. They called Siren Wren and the Siren of the american
version had another name in the japanese one. That's why everyone asks how Wren flew
from Alisa 3 to Mota in PS 4. In fact it's not the same robot. In addition of that,
Wren was the real japanese name for the cyborg of PS 4 in the japanese version.
Before the crash of Parma, and due to their experience of it, the people of
Parma built a fleet of 400 ships to save everyone. They felt the danger of
Mother Brain. 398 ships were destroyed but they landed in Mota or Dezo (it
includes the one of Captain Tyler). Orakio, Laya, Miun, Siren and Lune fought
against Dark Force on Alisa 3. They enclosed it in Sunken Palace under the sword
of Orakio. Lune and Siren were sent in two moons to supervise the security and
were in cryogenic sleep, Miun was wounded and wandered in the desert
searching Orakio desperatly and Orakio and Laya mysteriously disappeared after
the final fight. Rulakir, the young brother of Orakio, was so jealous of his
brother that Dark force comes in him and help him to survive during 1000 years.
He stays in Lashute dungeon (it's Lashik dungeon in fact) and divided people
into Orakians and Layans. Last after 1000 years of rest, he kidnapped the
princess of the layan, Maya and brainwashed her. Then he abandons her on a
beach.
In 2224 A.W Rhys found a girl on a beach and decide to marry her. Unfortunately
a layan dragon (Lyle) comes and kidnaps her. Rhys ,helped by Lena, escapes of prison
and begins his personal war against Layans. He met Mieu and Wren, a more
powerful version of Miun and Siren built by Orakio for his last descendant,
Rhys. Last he met a powerful and hip character named Lyle, the dragon knight, and discovers that
Lena is his sister. Eventually he saved Maya. At this point players can choose
to marry Maya or Lena to obtain Ayn or Nial. Each one had a quest to perform.
They met Siren for the first and Lune for the second. If Siren died, not Lune
who was in the third generation. Each can marry Laya (the sister of the original
Laya the friend of Orakio) or the sister of Lune. it
gives four different heroes for the last generation. All of them discovered they
were the descendant of the people of Parma and that Orakio and Laya were
friends. They also discovered Rulakir's treachery. They found Orakio's sword, Laya's
bow, Lune's Slicer and Siren's Shot. After they show Orakio's sword to Miun she calms
down and gave Miun's claw, then she dies in peace. The legendary weapons became
Nei weapons (the first who fought Dark Force) and last the ultimate weapons (to
kill Dark Force). They obtain the Megido technique and the Grantz power. After
they killed Rulakir, they opened the Pandora's box (and read the crude joke
again) to kill Dark Force.

Story 1 : After the fight they come on our earth.
Story 2 : They find a solar system identical to Algo and land in a planet that
looks like Parma.
Story 3 : they destroyed Neo Parma (the 399 th ship) and Dark Force sworn to
bring back to life all people who fight for and against him for the final battle
in 1000 years.
Story 4 : All the ships were destroyed but they were all saved cause they land
on a solar system identical to Algo.

PHANTASY STAR 4 : The explosive final (a second subtitle given by Sega of
America) comes in 1994 to us. This game was full of references to other
episodes. If there was always a doubt on which one is the best, PS 4 calmed down
everyone and was simply the best of the saga. Imagine the best technique, the
best fight (real fun like in Streets of Rage but for a RPG) original macro
commands, skills, a guild, and 24 mega of power for a lot of dungeons. The sound
was excellent and the ending fantastic. Last the quality of the english in this
translation was superior to all RPG until now. PS 4 introducing powerful
characters like Demi and Wren, a computer created Rika from the data of Nei and
Nei first and you meet Rune (Slayne in japanese) and Grimm.
The story begins in 2284 A.W. Alis Brangwin (Leyla in japanese) and Chaz Ashley
(Rudi in japanese) are 2 hunters and work for money in a world abandonned by
Mother Brain and surrounded by monster. Hire for a job at Mota university they
were involved in a battle with Zyo a dark magician. On the way they met Rune and
we discover that Alis and him kwow each other (but this part of the storyline
was forgotten and we never know how they have meet). They also discover that 398
ships landed on Mota and Dezo and only 2 escaped from Algo. Alis was killed by Zyo and
Rune joins you to avenge her death. They landed on Dezo near Tyler town and then
fly to a satellite where they encountered Dark Force for the first time. One
thing too bad in this game is that Dark Force is banal here. Then Rune said that
he is a descendant of Lutz and everyone goes in the Esper mansion. After this
they learned that Lashik and Sky Castle were back. They fought him in a dungeon
with the same map as in PS 1 and came back on Dezo to kill a second Dark Force.
They also met Myau, Alys friend, and his children and received Myau's claw.
Last they killed a third Dark Force and found a way to Ryukross the fourth
planet of the Algo solar system. There was "the roof" on it and it explains the
whole story. The great light fought the profound darkness, his counterpart, and
enclosed him behind a seal, the Algo solar system. The people there, were like guardians. When
Mother Brain destroyed Parma the seal became unstable and that's why Dark Force
came everywhere and revived four times (3 in PS 4 and 1 in PS 3). After that,
Chaz obtain the megido technique, and the sword of Elsydeon built from all the
soul of people who fought Dark Force. So the monster was right at the end of
Phantasy Star 3, everyone will be here for the last battle, ennemies like heroes
but he was wrong about the time. Then Chaz destroyed the Daughter of Mother
Brain ,named Daughter, and the Profound Darkness. Peace is here forever and the
ending was very long (30 minutes).

AND NOW WHAT ?

The possible next episode can be : 

1 : The great light comes back to destroy Algo and take all people to another
seal. It could explain why a new Dark Force exists in PSO.
2 : The Dark Force in the Pandora's box became independant and can revive. So
the people create a seal to enclose him but even with this, the last ship landed
in a new planet and all died.

Phantasy Star 4 used the ending of Stroy 3 and PSO also uses it. That's why i
considered it's the real ending of Phantasy star 3. Phantasy Star On Line takes
his story in the second possibility and is linked with PS 3.

PHANTASY STAR ON LINE : 

Commander Ryco Tyrell found the planet Ragol. They discover some native beasts and
decide to fix the weather. But it changes dramatically and they hide in the
mine, where they study new cell like beta 772 and find a strange door and some
remains of an ancient civilization. Ryco finds a way to open the door by using some
pillars and discovers Dark Force. Dark Force uses her to corrupt the computer
in the mine. It releases in the nature the cell beta 772. This cell mixes with a
monster and this monster creates the altered beast from the native (the monster
is the second boss). The human were blocked in the mine and can't escape. the
machine became crazy and all were killed. You arrive and discover that the ruins
are in fact the rest of Alisa 3 and the door a seal not t be opened. After a long
dungeon you unlock the Pandora's box and kill apparently once and for all
Dark Force. You learn this missing link only at the end of the game and it's a
good surprise at least.  

16 SPECIAL WEAPONS : 

Ok, for a special weapon you need to play in hard or very hard in off line mode or on line mode.
Once you find a special weapon, bring it to a tekker. He'll give you the name. There are a lot
You can submit them to me if you wish.

17 HUMAR GUIDE : 

This guide was submitted by Yann Dubois.

Humar beginner and advanced guide : 

The Humar is the most classical and balanced character in PSO. It's a Human plus a Hunter profile. 
He's good in close combat, can use middle distance weapons such as guns and some riffles and can use 
techniques which allows a balanced potential developement.

1 : At the beginning :

When you create your character, you can choose a large panel of faces, hairs and bodies. The aspect 
of your character doesn't affect his fight abilities ; so you can make a small funny fighter and he 
will be as strong as the giants robots you will meet.

**Tip**
If you want to have a original color body : select HUmar at the character selection screen, name your 
character "KSKAUDONSU" and valid this strange name, after you've heard a sound you will have two new 
body colors in the menu "BODY" and you can rename your character at your will.

Be sure to go Online after having take some experience in order to make your partners crazy !
After creating your dreamed hunter, you can start the game and go down to forest 1. It easier when you 
have a weak level to use a gun that is not very powerful but allows you to make distanced attacks. 
Remember to use combos such as Normal/Hard/Normal attacks or Normal/Normal/Hard.
In the first levels, you will find many weapons such as guns, sabers and some protection items :
-try to equip each gun to see if it's better than yours and keep every sabers or weapons you can't equip 
for trading in the shop.
-try to equip each protection item to improve your defense and try to find armor with slots 
(you will find or buy upgrades for those slots)
-use every technique disks to learn new techniques and be able to use magic
-don't forget to feed your Mag to improve its level, synchro and IQ.

Customize your paddle as follow :

   Hard attack-Normal Attack-Monomate
R: Attack technique-Heal technique-Monofluid

The technique for a Humar beginner is :
-enter rooms and spot enemies on the radar   
-run in a safe corner of the room and shoot enemies until they are close to you
-run to another safe place and shoot again !

Return to the shop as soon as you have a Telepipe and sell your unused items. You can buy Monomates and 
Monofluids, Techniques disks 
(Resta is the most important at the beginning), and a **Telepipe**
You can buy stronger guns and protections if you have enough money. Note that feeding your Mag is not 
your priority when you are level 1-10.

**Forest Boss**
The dragon is not very hard to beat but you will need 10 Monomate to survive and Resta technique could 
be useful ! If you're not strong enough, make some quests (battle training is good...) to increase your level.

After some levels, you will find more Technique disks, and you will find more powerful guns (Autogun, 
Repeteater...).

2 : Intermediates levels :

You should now be level 10-20. At those levels, magic Techniques is as far important as normal attack 
Techniques. You should buy all available disks to increase your Techniques levels.
You should have too a good defense which allows you to use Swords and Sabers in closed combat.
It's your choice to continue using Guns (upgraded with Mono/Di/Trigrinders) or Swords.
I prefer use Guns even at level 6x because of the safety they offer when there are many enemies.
But some long Swords are also good and can hit multiple targets.

Here is my configuration for the paddle :

    Hard attack-Normal attack-Razonde (or Gizonde)
R : Resta technique-Dimate-Difluid

Why ? 
Because you will need Normal and Hard attacks to perform combos.
You will need a Technique that can hit multiple enemies in order to make EXP online (Razonde)
You will need to heal yourself and your partners (Resta)
You will need to heal yourself quickly when you are surrounded (Dimate)
You will need TP !! (Difluid)

Note that you will have to change this configuration depending in which world you are (mine, cave...) 
because of the efficiency of certain Techniques. And the configuration has to change during boss fights 
(Replace Dimate by Moon Atomizers).

At your level, you have to feed correctly and regularly your Mag to make a good angel at your side ! Find 
a Mag guide on the Net to feed him equally.

**Online**

Go online as far as you can ! And be sure to find teams with high levels characters to make EXP and to 
make good deals with.

3 : Confirmed levels :

You will be able to join online Hard and Very Hard teams at respectively level 20 and 40.
Do it ! You'll meet great companions and you'll find nice items and lot of experience points.

Depending of weapons you prefer, you will find efficient sword-likes (Busters, Palaschs, ...) and guns 
(Bindgun, Autogun, ...). I recommend using (if you level is sufficient) the great Chainsawd (12 stars, 
rare but you can upgrade it at >+30 and it can stole HP) or Varista (9 stars, easy to find, upgrade max +9).

At high level, Humar is very balanced and you can use powerful Techniques and powerful Weapons.
You will be able to play Hard game at level 30 (not a limit but it's an advice...) and Very Hard game at 
level 60.

This is my actual configuration with a Chainsawd +25 :

    Hard attack-Normal attack-Special attack
R : Resta technique-Razonde technique-Trifluid

This is my boss fight configuration with a Varista +9 :

    Hard attack-Normal attack-Magic technique (depends)
R : Resta technique-Revive technique-Trifluid

18 FAQS : 

What is te black screen of death ?
It's a bug of the on line mode. This bug will be fixed with the appen disc in May in Japan.
The screen turns dark. If this happens (it's rare) simply remove the cable from the modem
of your dreamcast to save and disconnect. Avoid resetting, it works but in other version
than the japanese one you will restart from your last save, so imagine the mess if you do
it after 2 hours of play on line.

If i kill on line Dark Falz may i play in hard mode off line ?
No, you will just gain an access to hard mode on line. You can now play in hard team before
you have 40 levels (which is the normal conditions) .

Where are the download quest ? They talk of it in the manual but i don't find them ...
It depends of your version. You cannot download it if you have the european one and the
american one for the moment.

What is the appen disc ?
It will come in May in japan and will offer a new maximum level (200), you will play new
stages and fight new bosses and last it will correct the Black screen bug in on line mode.
Also you can expect a Master System as Mag.

How can i obtain a download quest ?
You must have an account on isao net, the japanese server. After you download a quest you can play it
with your japanese version and also with your official version.

How can i obtain an account on Isao net ?
Fairly simple, buy a japanese dreamcast with a japanese dreamkey, or ask to your friends a japanese
dreamkey, or with a PC, search on the net the special dreamkey that allows you to open an account in
Isao Net, Sega Net and Dream Arena. With it in your pocket you can configure your dreamcast as you
wish. Anyway a japanse version of PSO with key and serial number is required.
