Hi to everyone, thanks for reading my walkthrough of Eternal Arkadia. I want to
say that i use the american version of the game but as sometimes you need to
take decision i note the good answer for those who plays the japanese version
and don't understand anything to katakana or simply japanese (believe me those
people exist). Note also that some names are different of the japanese version. 

This walkthrough is the result of many hours of play. Note that i take all my time and search every secrets i can.

Version 1.0 : 11 hours of play.

Version 1.2 : 22 hours of play and i decide to open a section for the Pinta's
quest and for the homepage of the game. The section you don't see are under
construction. Other section appears.

Version 1.3 : 35 hours of play. Will i ever end the CD 1 ? new sections appears
and also the magics section opens. New charaters also.

Version 1.4 : After 55 hours of play. So long so good. 
After 40 hours and 2 minutes of play i complete CD 1. Now Begin the walkthrough
for CD 2. Thanks to every people who sent me e mail for misconceptions, in the
walkthrough. I haven't answer to them cause of lack of time but i thanks them
all in this new version. Also i tried to correct some faults in the text. Thanks
also for the mail of congratulations i received, it's so cool.

Version 1.5 : After 66 hours of play i completed the game with all the
miscellaneous things possible to do. 
The internet section is now open and useful. Foreigners
especially must read it. I have received 35 mails about this game and 10 of them
were for congratulations, so really thanks to everyone who congratulated me,
it's an honor for me.

Version 2.0 : i add the 26 main locations on the big map for the boat and correct some
faults in english. It seems that some names in the japanese version are different.

Version 2.01 : I just add the two secret furies, thanks to Joe who e mail me them.
See the skill section. Look at my personnal notes for some gameshark codes. Beware
however because they are not tested by me.

Version 2.1 : I add important infos about the mysterious Elcian in Dark Rift and also
about the last item of Zivilyn Bane also in Dark Rift. SEE THE DARK RIFT SECTION in
walktrough for CD 1. See also the download three section for a small add on it.

Version 2.12 : Brian Graham send a map of deep skies.

Version 2.2 : i open the section zero for the three great problem of this game. Be sure that
you are not in the three current problems of this section before e mailing me a question. I
want to add that i stop to answer to those questions. I have also change a little the text for
the ingredients quest. See the beginning of Walkthrough for CD 2 section. See also after the 
air boss fight of Jao and Mao to look at some improvment about the spice island.

1 REVIEW : 

At least a true RPG for my Dreamcast. I despaired because i have played all the
potential RPG of the dream from Evolution to Napple Tale and each time i was
disapointed by the RPG part in those games.
Well, i have wait specially the english translation to be sure that i won't miss
the storyline. It's incredible. The game is exactly what i expected from sega
and even more. Since i have played a long series of RPG on other SEGA machines i
have find here a mix of most of them. (Story of Thor, Shining Force, Phantasy
Star, Panzer Dragoon Saga, Lunar and even a little of Final Fantasy for the
design of some people unfortunately). This time Sega gives all he had to create
the best RPG ever made. My absolute reference was Lunar Eternal Blue on SEGA CD
and now i change for Eternal Arkadia on Dreamcast.
What can i say about the presentation, well it's full of cinematics. There
aren't any FMV here. Fortunately the cinematics are excellent and numerous.
I regret that Sega didn't include a song in the game but maybe next time.
The graphics are incredible. They are various and full of color. The brightness
effects are too numerous to talk about each one and they are all wonderful. It's
a pleasure for eyes. The character design at the beginning seems to recall Final
Fantasy, especially Alfonso and his style of army but that fact change rapidly.
The design is new however,Sega refuses to use the same as in Phantasy Star for
example. This design reminds me Napple Tale in more serious and with a better
work. The decor  are really various, you can visit a giant map in the sky and
then an island and a dungeon. The monsters of each dungeon are different. Last i
cannot end this part without talking of the  skills. Like in Phantasy Star 4
they are impressive but this time, Sega uses the same engine as in SHINING FORCE
3 scenario 3. The Cutlass Fury or the Alpha Storm are perfect examples. Like in
Streets of Rage 3, even the monsters and Boss have their own fury. 
The animation is in full 3D. You can rotate the decor like in Grandia and you
can even search in a first person view like in The Ring. The skill are well
animated and the background is really excellent. I was surprised by the
animation of the boat. It's slow and awful not in 60 images per second like i
expected but i discover that it depends of the engine you have and that's where
Sega corrected the error. I have appreciated that we can use ladder and not only
see a poor cut scene like in Code Veronica, also in some dungeon you can play a
remake of tomb raiders or use some plateform. Switch are also of the fest. The
dungeon follow the classical rules of the " there is only one way out ". If you
find an isolated room or multiway, it's just to reach a chest and a treasure.
The sound is ... ultra cool !!!!. Sega creates a real RPG atmosphear and think
that while i'm writing this i have the music of the battle in my head and even
some town or dungeon music. I have a little regret for the music of the boss but
Sega includes something i love : The music changes depending on your situation
exactly like in Langrisser 3. The music pass from Danger, equal, advantage and
extreme danger when the hero will die soon. (Near the end of the game a real
music for the boss and for the last boss appears and they are very very cool
update 1.5). The english voices suprised me. It seems that for the very first 
time, Sega made a casting. Like in Shenmue you have good voice acting. In 
Eternal Arkadia it's limited to some AH AH or LET'S GO but it brings life to 
the game and it's pleasant to hear.
The maniability is cool, the interface is simple and all menu are clear. At the
beginning the battles with your boat are difficult but a tutorial helps you and
then air battle turn into strategy. On the contrary of what i though at the
beginning it's completely different from Panzer Dragoon Saga and it's more
exciting. Remember Albator and the pirates rules, they are all respected here. I
simply regret that i can't increase the speed of my character in the city but
what's done is sufficient.
What's really disapointed me was the english instruction manual. It's the half
of the japanese one. NO STORY, NO CHARACTER INTRODUCTION, NO ENNEMY, NO BOSS, NO
PLACE TO VISIT. Are we barbarian ? NOOOOOOOO. I have read the japanese manual
and it seems but it's not sure that there are more than Pinta's quest for the
mini game. And i don't know if it was removed or change. ( in fact i don't find
anywhere the pinta quest in the japanese manual). The game is full of secrets
and discoveries to make (Evolution 1 and 2) and it's good to see that Sega
didn't forget this point for the lovers of exploration like me.
In one game, Sega changes my mind about RPG, you can think that this game is
simply a mix but there are tons of originality like to win magic you must choose
the proper color for example. It's a good lesson for Square and his poor Final
Fantasy episode and unfortunately for Game Arts which i blame to not create a
LUNAR 3 for Sega. I can't imagine what will be Phantasy Star On Line and a
possible Shining Force 3 scenario 3.2 Sega promised in the past but i'm sure
that they will be best than this one and i can't wait, i want them now. Eternal
Arkadia is the best RPG ever made and like we say in french : CONSOLE DISE ! .

2 STORYLINE AND CAST OF CHARACTER : 

The world of Arkadia is full of island floating up the sky. What's sure,
according to old tale that grand parents talked to young, is that there was a
silver civilization that bring joy and peace. Nobody knows exatly how the world
turn into this ashes of island because the legend have no foundation. Many
people believe in the power of the moon and the world is divided in six
religions depending on the color of the moon stones. This world exist due to the
help of moon stones that fall from the silver star (ask to Game Arts about the
silver civilization ... hey it's a joke come back). Moon stone are used to power 
boat and army. This world is rule in the way of military by the Imperial Army of
Valua. The terrific Lord Galcian, supreme commander of the air force of Valua,
makes fear to everyone in the name of empress Theodora. A great war happened
between Valua and Nasr and the winner was Valua. The Nasr kingdom rules the
economy. Due to the alliance, the peace is now real. Around these people wing
the Black Pirates who lives to steal to everyone and the Blue Rogue. The story
begins with Vyse, son of Captain Dyne (Lunar... hi hi joke) leader of blue
pirate, who steals to the rich to help the poor. The arrival of Fina (heroine of
grandia 2, ...ok i stop that) will change all his destiny. Fina the mysterious
girl who appeared from nowhere. The thread of destiny awaits you hero, play Vyse
and takes real decisions, give full orders to a crew and maybe you'll have a
chance to save the world from the imperial family...


VYSE : Son of captain Dyne, Vyse is a real good fighter. The Cutlass Fury saves
him more than one once. His interest for Fina is not really clear but what's
sure is that he likes so much Aika and cannot leave without her near him.

AIKA : Under a style of missed boy is a cool character with true feelings in her
heart. Listen to her quietly before to take a decision. Her skills are various
and she has a good magic power. She is more a fighter than a healer.

DRACHMA : This old man chase a giant fish called Rhacknam. Nobody knows why or
when it's began but he wants to kill him. I personally never trust him and what
he did in the game didn't surprised me but i must admit that he is a strong
fighter and without him Vyse is a bit lost.

FINA : She is a descendant of the silver civilization. She comes in Arkadia to
search for the five colored moon crystals. She wants to avoid a second cataclysm.
But so far, anyone remember of the first. You must help her if you want to
discover the truth about your world.

GILDER : Is the Don Juan of the game. He lives for two things, 1 meet a new woman
each day and 2 escape from his true love Clara. He doesn't want to admit it but
he loves her so much. Don't underestimate this guy, he is really strong. (Update
1.3)

ENRIQUE : is the prince of Valua. As he cannot convince his mother to stop the
war he joins the air pirate to save the world. Enrique is the best fourth party
member you can dream. It's a real brute. (Update 1.3)

EMPRESS THEODORA : She rules with a strong and cold hand the empire. She wants
the six moonstones to conquer the world. Can anyone stopped that old girl ?

LORD GALCIAN : (he reminds me the chief of the army in Grandia 1 but i have
promised to stop my references) The terrific commander of the Valua army have no
rival. No one can oppose him without risking his life. He rules the fifth
fleet of Valua and have a strange interest in Ramirez.

ALFONSO : is a traitor and a poor admiral. Beware of that guy because his role
is not really clear for the moment. His role is to be the most stupid soldier of
the valua army. (update of 1.2).

RAMIREZ : is the lieutenant of Galcian. He obtains a promotion in the game and
become an admiral. Ramirez seems to have a link with Fina. He is of the silver
civilization like Fina.

BELLEZA : Is the spy of the army. She knows everything in the kingdom and
there's no secret for her. When i hear how she speaks i think she trust to much
in Theodora. She is clearly a fool to think that unificated the power bring
peace and order, but the world needs dreamer like her to exist.

DE LOCO : is the commander of the green fleet. That guy has a real problem with
Vyse and the reality. He thinks too much, invent dangerous thing and is too
stupid to admit that he has lost. How can someone like this could be a general ?
(update of 1.2).

VIGORO : is the most macho man a girl can meet. He lives only to conquer the
heart of all of these cute ladies. Aika knows of it a bit. (update 1.3)

GREGORIO : Commander of the second fleet, Gregorio like so much the prince.
However you must beat him in battle if you want to continue the quest. (Update
1.3)

BALTOR : is the chief of Black pirates. You fight him only two times. Too bad that
the black pirates haven't a better place in the story. They are so funny when they
lose...  

CLARA : it's Gilder true love. This girl is really funny. (update 1.5)

PRINCE DAIGO : Is the son of the ruler of Yafutoma and also the leader of the
Tenkou Army. (update 1.5)

3 BASIC BATTLE STRATEGY : 

Normal battles : 

1 you must use all the skills to win. For example, when Vyse is
surrounded by ennemy, if you use COUNTERSTRIKE, you can be sure that every
ennemy will received a normal hit and not a normal counterstrike (half of the
normal hit except if you give all the power up to Vyse).

2 heal your party with potion instead of spell, keep your MP for strong magic.

3 Of course if you choose the proper color on a certain monster you will kill
him rapidly, but during the course of the game, it's better to give a different
color to every members so all the magic can be learn by everyone. I think it's
better than specialize a fighter in certain color.

4 For the boss, there's no real technic, the issue depends of the skills you use
at a certain moment.

5 Press B repetively when an ennemy hit you, it increases the chance to counter
attack (like in Shining Force 3 on Saturn).

SHIP BATTLE : 

1 Unfortunately, when you take a decision if it's not the good one you'll run to
a game over. When you continue you begin at the same point as in the first time
you try. You haven't win exp but also NEVER lose an item.

2 the tutorial explain it, but when you see a C you must concentrate your
firepower in this turn to increase the damage. When it's yellow or red you must
keep your guard, even if it's not good each time. When you see a special sign
you can use the special attack.

3 Those battle are long, so be sure you have the time to play them or you'll
load it the next time you play.

I think that's all because the rest is up to you. What will be the greatest RPG
if i say all what must say.

4 IMPORTANT ITEMS : 

Moon Berries : with those moons you can learn new skills.

Zivilyn Bane items : In some dungeon you will meet a special fighter, Zivilyn
Bane that guards expensive and strange items. You can sell them to obtain money. 
(update 1.5)

Cham : it's Cupil food. I give the location of each i found but maybe there are
more.

Abirik Cham : Cupil gain a level by eating one. (update 1.3)

Chom : Don't give them to Cupil. (update 1.3) In fact they are here to mix
differently the cham and abirik cham so Cupil can evolve differently. The
evolution is so cool with different ways but it's too bad that Final Cupil
appears only in the last dungeon. There are 30 chams to find in this walkthrough
and in the game. (update 1.5)

Piry Box : This box cast Piry (a melee magic). This box can be used more than one
once on the contrary of other box. So if you need magic for free...

Captain's Stripe : Give more hp to your current boat. But don't forget to heal
each time your boat eat one of these medal.

Repair Kit and other upgrade version : Heals the boat.

Sacri/Sacres etc crystals : Heal you.

Sacrum Crystal : heal 1000 HP of all the party member.

Daccat's Coin : sell it for 20 000 gold to the guildmaster of any town. Cool.

Polly Special : Fish 10 grules near Dark rift exit to obtain it from Polly.

Ilchimix : upgrade Ilchimis's shop and he sells it to you for 4000 gold.

5 THE SWASH BUCKLER :

(update 1.3)
Just a word about this. It's your popularity in the game. You can check it by
reading your title in the menu. It increases  when you make a good decision and
of course decrease if not.
It also decrease if you run from a battle too many times. Conclusion : Fight to
increase it. 
When it's high, people in the party makes a lot of critical hit.

6 GENERALITY : 

In the sky, with each boat you can fish. when you see a band of fish, approach
and press A to capture them. You can sell them. Some fish cost a lot even if it's
wrong at the beginning of the game.
Your battery in the VMU lose its power quickly if you don't find quickly a cham.
Also it seems that all animations of Cupil eat the battery  power.
You need money ? search the discoveries before the guild give the hint. You will
obtain a lot of money.

7 CREW MEMBER UTILITY :

(talk to her at the restaurant of Yafutoma you can reach with a boat.) She is
the best : she fill to the max you SP gauge (well if you focus two or three 
times after her in fact).

That's all for the crew; I've got them all.


8 WALKTHROUGH FOR CD 1 : 

The game begin in action by a short cinematic and a first battle between Vyse
Aika and two soldiers. It's time to Focus and experiment the incredible Cutlass
Fury of Vyse. Then after another scene you will play a second battle against
four soldiers. Then you'll visit the first dungeon of the game.

VALUA IMPERIAL SHIP :
 
Take the chest here. You can now go in the corridor and arrive in a room with 
two floors. Go upstairs after the battle. In the new corridor you find a chest 
then go right because the door is blocked. Use the ladder and you find Alfonso
betrayed his own vice captain. Then he charges Antonio to kill you.

BOSS : ANTONIO : 

Relax, it's the first boss, this beast isn't too much 
difficult. Use the Cultlass Fury and even if it takes time he will die.

This dungeon end by the escape. Now on the boat, you can talk to Fina. Choose
between one of the three answer, it is of no importance. Then visit the boat and
go upstair. Talk to Captain Dyne and then you'll take the command of the ship.
Your mission is to go to Pirate Isle. Go straight, it's simple. During your trip
you'll maybe encounter monsters, if so don't worry, if the battle is long it's
normal. Near Pirate Isle push A to land. Scene. You are now in the underground.
Dyne calls you and Fina. Go as up as possible and find Dyne's office. During the

ladder and take the chest. Then visit house per house from the top to the base.
Equip yourself and Aika if you can and buy some Sacri crystal. By talking to
the guy on the top of the pole , near the exit you'll learn that there is a 
second chest to find in this cave. Now exit to the city. Here you'll meet lot of
people. Aika left the team. You can play with the child and find them :
Jimmy is hide behind a white sheet, Lindsy is near your house, Pow the dog is
also near your house and Alan is near Aika's house. Then Jimmy talk of the
bookshelf in Dyne's office (but don't think that i need this to find the secret,
it's very classical).
If you want to laugh, click on the Handkerschief on Aika's house.
Enter the garden to collect an item.
Near Vyse's house is a stone : click on it to find a secret way to the second
chest. Use the moonberry to learn new skill.
Enter your house and Aika comes. Climb the big ladder to watch a scene. Fina
looks at the moon strangely. You will see another scene where everyone eat and
then sleep. On the morning talk to Vyse's mother to obtain items and to Dyne to
obtain a new color of stone for battle. Exit and save before you take off.

To take off search the only part you haven't visited with the vice captain near
your boat. Then you take the boat to go to shrine island. Go north until you

When you enter, the sentinel raise to protect the stone. Nothing difficult
here. You take the stone.

Meanwhile the Imperial Armada destroys completely your island...
Take your boat and go home.Now go to Dyne's office to talk to your mother.
Choose to rest first and then save the other members. Personnaly i found strange
that your mother let you leave the island with a poor boat (if it was my mother
she never lets me leave the island with poor equipment to save my father...) 
Buy a lot of Sacri crystal
and then take off to the north east. When you see a fog, a giant arc whale
attacks you. Choose to retreat (answer 2) but it's useless and the boat is
destroy. You awake and meet Drachma who saved you from the death. He wants you
to take him two box. Go downstair take the box and look at the scene. Then he
will allow you to lead the Little Jack to Sailor's island. Go northeast under a

more. Visit the town. At the guild buy the info for 5 gold. Then talk to

In the weapon shop you discover Pinta and obtain the mini game. Talk to the guy
which can't sell anything and you'll learn about the harpoon cannon. Go to the
bar and talk to Drachma. He accepts to take you to Valua but you need to find a
passeport. Go to the guild and talk to the guildmaster. Then answer 1 to an old
man : You protect him from the black pirate Baltor and he gives you his passeport. 
Now take a rest at the inn near the weapon shop and save. Exit of the town. Now move
to the east.

AIR BATTLE FIGHT : BLACK BEARD :
 
This battle is a tutorial, follow the rule and you will win. You must answer to
go behind him to win (answer 1). Now you can power up the little jack with the
captain stripe item.

After a scene you obtain the passeport. Once you can move, go east again and click
on a small island to find the guildstone. Sell the info to the guild. Then heal
and save. Now take off to the north and watch two long cut scene. You land in
lower city area 1. Find the shop to equip yourself and then search a tunnel
with a chest inside. Then you'll meet a boy named Marco. Click on the lever to
take a mini train and reach the second part of the city. Find the inn and stay
for 80 gold. During the scene, choose to sneak into the coliseum. Then you'll
chase Marco in a mini game, you must jump from roof to roof by using the yellow
arrow. After the scene, save and prepare for the next dungeon. Go to the sewer
entrance where you find Marco.

SEWER : 

I hope that you have a lot of sacri crystal and sacres crystal with you.

1 : Go straight and take the ladder. Go left and climb the stair.
2 : When you have a choice go left to take a chest in an isolated room and then
go straight.
3 : the map will erase because you enter a new zone of the dungeon. You have a
second choice. Go straight and find two chests. Then go left. Beware of the crack
on the ground and save.
4 : go to the boss, he waits in front of the ladder.

BOSS : BLELGOCK : 

This giant slime is not difficult but he can poison your hero. To cure them use a
curia crystal. Save after defeating him or you'll have a bad surprise.

SAVE (for those of you who don't read the line up).

BOSS : EXECUTIONER + 2 SPELL WARDEN : 

This fight is a difficult one. The warden mustn't "increm" the excutioner. If
they do, Aika dies in one Tackle of the boss and Vyse in two only. Sometime the CPU
use it each turn. I have find a combo to avoid that, hope that it works also for
you : 
Vyse and Drachma attack the left warden, Aika attacks the right warden (normally
none use the increm spell).Then Vyse makes a Cut Fury on the right warden and 
Aika increm Drachma. Then kill the poor executioner.

Back in the sewer, save and enter the new corridor. Take two chests then talk to
Dyne. You must answer to save Fina and you receive the thunder
moon stone from your father. Then exit by the new corridor. scene.You arrive in 
upper city. Save and then find the train. You jump on it. Now you must run from
Galcian or you'll die. After a long run you finally meet Fina.

BOSS : 2 ROYAL GUARDS : 

Beware of the one who heal him. The other can take a counter posture, never
strike him. This battle can be long if you do anything.

Galcian asks a question and answer 1 to him. After the scene you are on the boat.

AIR BATTLE FIGHT : IMPERIAL SHIP : 

Honestly, focus and keep your guard until you can use the harpoon cannon. If you
have more than 15 SP, shot. In one shot the imperial ship fall...

Now you are free. Back to Pirate Isle, accept to help Fina (answer 1). You meet
CUPIL which is Fina's weapon. You must give him food to increase Fina's power
damage. Take the chest near. Save. Go in the underground and search on the
metallic bridge the first cham for Cupil. (go in the item menu and use it on him,
look at your VMU and you'll see he is happy it's a mini game in the game). You
can find another Cham in Shrine's Island. Now go to Sailor's Island and meet
Domingo. Then go to the guild and buy two more mini quest.  
Buy a sub cannon or two in the shop where the guy couldn't sell anything. 
With a sub cannon you can concentrate more firepower in one turn. You can also 
equip Drachma and Aika. Last go in the light house in the town near the weapon 
shop  and find the third cham for Cupil. (Cupil become a blade). Now come back 
to pirate isle and search the small island near the waterfall of the beginning of
the game. You find the pirate grave. Sell the info to the guild. Now head east
and now you can go through the rockwall and see Maramba. Don't land yet. Search a
floating lake and you discover the wandering lake, sell the info and you will
have a lot of money. Now you can land on Maramba. Drachma left the team.
In the town (divided into two part) go to the inn and go upstair. Exit and
collect the fourth cham. Then go down and find the weapon shop to equip yourself.
You hear of the treasure of the sewer (don't sell Drachma's equipment). Now find
the way to the dahbu, the giant creature of the town. With him you can jump on
roof and talk to the guy who jump like an epileptic one. Go inside his house and
find an armor. Exit and take the dahbu, search all the roof here to see if there
is a chest then go to the second part of the town. Now land on a roof with a
chest and collect 300 gold. Then land where you can reachj the ground. Go in the
inn here and look at the dancer Bellena. Choose to stay. Answer 1 to Aika next
then exit as soon as you can. Now take the ladder and visit the sewer. There are
switch to open the metal gate. Look carefully the wall to see them. You can take
good item and the one you saw in the first part of the town inside a ruin. Then
exit, take the dahbu to the first part, and go to the inn. Then you can go to the
port and meet Bellena. Talk to her and answer 1. Then go east to the temple. You
discover it. 

TEMPLE OF PYRIM : remake of tomb raider... 

1 : Take the first wheel barrel and go to the other side. Use the second to reach
an isolated room. Before you take the chest you fight monsters. Then head to the
normal way.
2 : Take the ladder and avoid the boulder. The path left is useless. Go down and
avoid a second boulder.
3 : The two boulders of the side must be in the hole so the third can reach his
own hole and open a door.
4 : You find a chest. Go right and follow the way to another chest. Explore a bit
the multi ways here to collect many items. Then find a way to the room with four
wheel barrels. Put the red one in the red hole and the blue in the other hole
(logic).
5 : Take the new door. Go left to collect a Cham and avoid the boulder. Go right
to collect a chest then go down.
6 : pass this hot room and open a chest.
7 : You will find a switch and a path. Take the path and open the chest. Then
go down to the barrel.
8 : Use the blue barrel of the side first and the red one last. (the blue on the
right, then the second on the right, then the one on the left and the blue that
go straight. Last use the red one). Now come back to the switch and use it.
9 : save your game.

BOSS : ROCK WYRM :
 
This dragon can stone the hero. My advice is to focus Vyse until he can make a
Cut Fury. then The dragon attack usually Fina or Aika so use one of her to cure
the stone and focus when you can. Really it's an easy fight.

10 : Walk on the monster and collect the red crystal. Exit and save.

SAVE (or you will regret it).

You discover that Bellena is Belleza the admiral of the red fleet. After the
scene you are in the Little Jack.

AIR BATTLE FIGHT : RECUMEN, THE RED GIGAS : 

This red gigas is invincible. The idea is to not use any repair kit or a minimum of 2. 
To do that concentrate all your firepower on the turn he shots (red square). Then he shots but 
miss you.Then you can choose to fire his head (1) or fire his feet(2) but either give
to the same end : a failure.

Then you must choose to retreat. Now direct the Little Jack on the LYNX (answer
1).

AIR BATTLE FIGHT : THE LYNX : 

this boat has a magic cannon. it can perform a three it combos that destroy you in
one turn. Concentrate your firepower and focus as you wish but you must take those
decision to win : 1 catch off her guard (2)
		  2 try to get behind her (2)
		  3 stop the little jack (1)
Then you will be behind the boat and you must fire the harpoon cannon to win.
After the scene you learn that you must go south through the wind. You have new
cannons, a new engine and it's time to go to Maramba and save.
Before You live this area you can find the Topple Rock in the mountain east of
the city of maramba (on the same island). You also can go east of Shrine island
and pass through the stone reef. Search on an island here the Sky Coral. Then you
can go on new adventures.

Now head a little west then south. There is a cut scene. In this area you can
find the sky anemone near the sky rift. The travel to the new continent
is very long and difficult. The battle are monstruous with monster that can cast
Eternum (the level 2 of eterni never miss his victim). The giant storm in this
airspace creates winds if you are in the bad direction. So are you lost in the
sky ? it's normal. Use your map and search on it the I4 (details horizontal and
vertical). Once you are near the new continent you will see an island with root,
there will be a cutscene. Then the music change and some tam tam appears in it
and the monsters change also. Find an island with a boat and on the other side
(H4) is the village Horteka.

In this airspace you can find the black market (near the king's hideout), 
buy new weapons for your ship and buy and sell new infos. When you decide to land in 
Horteka, you find that the people are not so friendly cause of the Valua of course. 
One ask if Fina is Quetya and Fina answer no (she has a link of course...). 
Then you decide two things : 
	 1 find a moon stone for fuel  
         2 talk to the elder of the village to clarify the situation.
Don't waste time to explore or talk cause no one will answer now. Use the wood
bridge then the ladder and go straight. Use another ladder and near an entrance
is a cham for Cupil. Enter and you will see a boat in bad shape. Talk to Hans and
he gives you a moon stone. On the other side of the boat are in a chest 25 sacri
crystal. Then exit and come back to the first ladder. Go left and use the ladder
near a pole. Then follow a wood tunnel and find the house of the elder. Talk to
him. He says to go north to find the king. Then talk to the woman to heal. Then you
can explore the village. Near the house of the elder is a ladder, climb it and
then the next ladder to collect a chest. The guy who jumps like an epileptic one
will later says to you the location of the golden man. Then come back to the
first pole you see and use it to reach a moon berry. Use the ladder near the save
point at the entrance of the village and use the pole then the way to slide to
the bar. Climb a floor or two to collect a chest behind a door then in the third
floor is the exit of here. Equip yourself wisely then take off to the north.
There will be a cutscene. You see De Loco's ship.

AIR BATTLE FIGHT : THE CHAMELEON

There is nothing difficult here. You have to use the Increm spell for the Little
Jack. Then concentrate the cannon or the torpedo before he uses the flamethrower. The
harpoon cannon is the best weapon to end quickly this battle.

Go now to the king's hideout and talk to him. He wants you to save Isapa who
actually knows where is Rixis the lost city where is stored the green stone. Take
the boat and go south to a big mountain. It's moon stone mountain.

11 : Once back follow the way to another elevator. Follow the way until a
cutscene stops you. Alfonso is here and wants a revenge.

PART 4 : 

12 : You arrive in a corridor with two guards. Battle them, then open the three
other doors instead of the one they guarded to collect items. Then open the last door
and meet that clown of Isapa. A scene shows De Loco again. This guy really
disgust me.
13 : Go to the elevator by the only way open.
14 : it's time to save.

BOSS : ANTONIO 2 :
 
As stupid as the original but a little longer and powerful. Then you will laugh
because Alfonso will be really ridiculous and De Loco too. Centime thanks you and
asks you to come and see him in Horteka.

Go to Horteka and meet him to collect a propeller. It increases the speed of the
ship. Then talk to the king to learn the riddle of the lost city. You must find a
bird and a golden man.
If you remember the epileptic guy in Horteka go and see him to learn that the
golden man is north of Horteka. Buy the infos at the black market and search the
bird first near the great lake. Then come back to the hut of the king and on the
top of one of the mountain here is the golden man. Then the golden man indicates
to go west. So you go and between some mountains you will find a stone, click on
it and you have finished. Now go to the black market and sell the infos and then
go to Rixis.

AIR BATTLE FIGHT : THE CHAMELEON (ENHANCED BY A MOON STONE cannon) : 

As usual cast Increm. You will have to take some decisions here but don't worry.
For the first time you are really free and i can add there is no trap. Fight as
you wish. I choose to fire (answer 1) then to make a short retreat (answer 2)
then i fire the harpoon cannon to beat him.

AIR BATTLE FIGHT : GRENDEL, THE GREEN GIGAS: 

This must be an easy fight in comparison of the one with Recumen. (i find
immediately the technic). There is no technic , choose to approach and fire the
feet (2) and fire
again and again after you cast Increm. As the battle will be long you will cast a
second time Increm. Near the end of the battle Grendel acts strangely (like if
you loose in Space Channel 5). Concentrate and wait the moment to use the harpoon
cannon to make him fall in the river.

Now the peace comes back. Return to the king and collect the green moon stone.
You can buy new infos on discoveries. Search under the island of Horteka the
garpa fruits. Then you can head north through the ex iron gate to reach north

Now return to Horteka to advance a little in the story line.
Go north through the iron gate. Continue north, In the first island you see, is 
the will'o wisp to discover. Head south of here and press A until you find the
mysterious ring. North east of the will'o wips is a rock island near the sky rift

also it changes the icon on the VMU). Now that you can go through sky rift,
search the north dannel strait near Nasrad to find the ship graveyard. Return to
Horteka and use the shortcut provided by the sky rift to do it. You can recruit

cannon to beat this boat.

SECOND LINE / CLASSICAL IMPERIAL SHIP : Choose 1 (be aggressive) and use the moon
stone cannon to beat this boat (don't forget to cast Increm).

FINAL LINE / THE AURIGA : Use Increm and Quika to win.

After the congratulations go to the inn to heal and pass the night for free. Then go
to the dark rift and search a vortex. Near here is the blimp wreck west of the
entrance and on an island. Now go to north ocean and recruit Domingo in Gordo's bar
and you find a cham here.
The bar is really easy to find. Come back to the rift and enter it. Save.

THE DARK RIFT : 

Here you can win a lot of moon berries. So fight often.
A dungeon for the boat. Cool and original. I'll play again Albator here. In the
first room collect the chest (shining boat) then go left in a hole and search the
other exit down. In the second room go straight to a shining exit and collect the black
moon stone. Now exit and sell the info. Come back to this room and exit by the west
exit (the one down), because all the other are wrong. Here search items and follow
the light to the exit. In the last room save and go straight.

Here are some important things i want to add : (upadte 2.1)

1 : You can find an item of Zivilyn Bane here. In the room with the cone of light you
must follow to exit, search the top of an island to find a boat with the Chalice of
Blood inside. I think, but i'm not sure that you can't take it without the skill that
allows the Delphinus to go above the cloud, but as in Dark Rift all rules are different
you can try now. Also i don't fight Zivilyn because i find it just before the end of the
game. Zivilyn didn't guard it or he simply thinks that no one will find it. This battle
is maybe random.

2 : Exactly as for 1, i fought this monster before the end of the game, so it's possible
that this thing only appears the second time you go in dark rift. Let me introduce the
playboy of the looper, ELCIAN.
Exactly like his mama you can download, ELCIAN thinks that the life is more important
than a fight, so when he will be in danger he runs and you will never see him again. You
can find him in the last room of the dark rift with the save anchor. Just look up to see
him. 

1 : SAVE BEFORE A FIGHT WITH HIM.
2 : ONCE YOU ENGAGED : 

Turn 1 : Vyse= Cutlass fury (680 pts), Aika= Delta shield, Fina= Aura of valor (increase to the
max your sp gauge and can be find in this room of the dark rift in a chest) and Enrique
=defense (no skill of him affect Elcian).

Turn 2 : Vyse= Prophecy (i fight Elcian before the end of the game...) 6400 pts

Turn 3 : Vyse, Fina, Enrique= Focus and Aika = Delta shield

Turn 4 : Vyse = Pirate's wrath (2000 pts), Aika= Delta shield, Fina and Enrique attacks
(500 and 780 pts (with Final Cupil) respectively).

I'm sure that there can't be more than 5 turns, cause Elcian runs. Also i don't mention
it but when Elcian attack my party, he receives a nice counter attack of 700 pts each
time. It seems that my Elcian has only 11000 HP, but Mark Emmons, the guy who helped me
to find Elcian fight an Elcian with 17000 HP. He also told me that each time he comes
back to Elcian the monster become stronger. My best advice is to wait for the end of the
game, the item that Elcian gives is random, it can be a moon berry (for Mark) or a stupid
Valuan Medallion (for me). Most of all you can win 7500 exp and 20 magic points once you
defeat him. Last let me gives you the hint Mark told me, be sure to be equipped with the
black map (item gave by Domingo when you have 50 discoveries in your log book) if you
wish to make an easy fight. I didn't use this item cause i sold it, but with it the
pirate's wrath of Vyse is more powerful. Another guy on the net told me of this monster,
but when i ask infos about this (it was when i wrote the 2.0 version, imagine the time i
have wasted before giving this info) he never answer me, probably because he thought i
didn't believe him. However i thank him without naming him and give the full credits to
Mark Emmons.

AIR BATTLE FIGHT : ANGUILA : 

Choose to stay in front of the beast (answer 1) each turn and fire. Then the beast
exit so i hope you have a lot of SP to fire on it and last choose again to stay in
front of the beast to finish it. Then you can exit of the Dark Rift.

learn you must travel to Mount Kazai. Here you can heal and save in the guest house 
behind the palace. In this city there are 2 chests. One can be reach by using a boat
after you use a lever to move the bridge and the other is behind the backdoor of the
item shop.  Don't forget to buy a Suiran Blade and to equip the boat with Torpedoes 
and Yamato Spirit. Talk to the ship part merchant and ask him (answer 2) to take you
to Mount Kazai.

the switch to fill again the main room.
6 : Use the exit of the right in the main room. Choose to fall underwater by using
the north pool. Follow the way to the last switch. Come back to the main return.

follow the way.

left and fight with 2 aluspheres.
9 : In this room you can use the switch to reach other part of the dungeon and
arrive safely in the last room. Or you can choose to follow the way and open the
wall. You'll fight 6 groups of Aluspheres. Anyway you come to the last room.
10 : Use the last corridor and save. Use the teleport device. 

BOSS : TORTIGAR : 

This turtle is not so difficult, just cast increm and focus when she is invincible.
You must use Aika and Fina to heal. Once you have upgrade Vyse and Enrique with
Increm you are sure to win. (cut fury and royal blade).

Return to the village and pass the night. You notice that Belleza has come. After

Save. Follow the long way to the temple. You can find a Cham here. Cupil becomes a
Spear. After a scene the prince Daigo asks something to you. Answer 1 to help him.
Go to the port. After the scene you must reconquer the Delphinus.

After the fight on the main bridge, go to the command room of the delphinus.

BOSS : MURAJI AND 3 SOLDIERS : 

Easy fight. Don't waste your time.

AIR BATTLE FIGHT : THE DRACO (Vigoro's ship) : 

Cast Increm and use the moon stone cannon. 

AIR BATTLE FIGHT : BLUHEIM, THE BLUE GIGAS :

Hey there ! it's the dragon of Panzer Dragoon Saga ! It's the most impressive fight
i have seen for the moment. Bluheim is powerful and speed and so cool. Bref, the
goal is to win so cast Increm and fire with torpedoes and moon stone cannon. The
other cannon are useless. They always miss the gigas. Enjoyed the chain lazer.

Once you have win, you are in Yafutoma where the classical congratulations arrive.
You obtain the blue crystal and can do some things. The current level of Cupil must
be a spear. Use 1 chom so he regurgitate all cham and abirik cham. Give to Cupil all
the cham and then the abirik cham and he becomes a Claymore. Well as you see the mix
is necessary. Also it seems that the Claymore is the last evolution of Cupil by using
this way for now. You can mix differently to obtain other form of Cupil.
However continue to give him Cham and Abirik Cham. You decide to go east and you
leave the village.

END OF CD 1 AT LEAST.

Here are the miscellaneous things to do to unlock all the secrets. As usual it's now
or never. You are free to not search the discoveries.
Go north of Mount Kazai. High in the sky and point toward the north. Wait until the
Wander birds appears and click on them to discover them. Head a little east. On the
wall is a big island. You'll find there the Dheerse. Return to Mount Kazai and

small black island. North north east of here is another island, go on the top of it,
Continue North north east  to find the invert Isle. Return to Ryu Kan's island and
go east this time until you see a snow rift intersect with a dark rift. Go west and
use A until you find the Mystic Orchard. Now follow the Snow rift constantly until
you see a big hole. It's the way to your home, but before that continue until you
find an island cut by the snow rift. Search there the Grieveing Prince. Return to
the hole to arrive in known skies. From here go directly to Crescent Isle after you
sell the infos and win a lot of cash.

Scene where you discover that the world is round. Answer what you wish ( i answer 1
personnaly). Brabham the engineer and Izmael the builder joins the crew. Talk to
Belle in the port to recruit her. There is a cham behind the building with the
cannon inside and another outside near the flag. (maybe this cham appears later so
if you don't find it search it later). In your island you can equip the boat in
Khazim's shop and buy items to Osman. Give to her 2000 golds. She can increases the
shop. Use the external elevator and enter the meeting room. You decide to go south
and find the purple moon crystal. Sleep then talk to Domingo in the meeting room so
you obtain items. You can ask Izmael to build new things. Order, exit of the isle and
come back for the result. You can do this to build all you can. You can leave the
isle.
Recruit Don at Esperanza. Talk to the woman at the bar. She asks you to talk to her
mother in Maramba (the kabal skewer lady). Go in Maramba and talk to her then come
back to Esperanza. The daughter gives you a kabal skewer. Talk to the mother at
Maramba and she eats it but don't like it. Talk again to the daughter and she asks
you to find 3 ingredients : Gentle, Khale, Kabal. If you have made the discoveries
when i said to do it, you have the Khale (it's with the spice island). For the kabal, go to
Gordo's bar which is located on the square E4 and enter it. once inside talk to him and he
gives one. Go then to Nasrad, collect the cham near the two lovers, and talk to the
item merchant. Use the talk option and he sells you Gentle for 500 gold. Then come
back to the daughter and she prepares new kabal skewer. Bring it to the mother and
she forgives her daughter. Go for the last time in Esperanza and the daughter gives
to you an abirik Cham. Ouf. Just by curiousity i return to Maramba and the mother
has disappeared.Recruit there Khalifa if you are equiped with the suiran blade. 
In fact the mother goes to Esperanza during your travel to Maramba.
Return to Horteka to recruit Hans. There is a ship who asks for 10 sky sardis (you
have it normally but if you need to fish them they live near the Pirate grave, the
first discovery). Give it to him and he gives an Abirik Cham.
Return to Crescent Isle and build all you can. Talk to Polly and give her 1000 gold.
Then if you talk again to her after exiting and returning she asks 10 grudles to
cook a polly special. 
Go north of Crescent Isle and pass the sky rift. You see a big island. Search near
the craters on it the Giant Squid Nest. In this sky you can fight a Giant Squid to
obtain a better deck for your boat. In Horteka sky,above the cloud you can fight a

where mountain are separated by a path. Follow the path south south west to find the
Ice bird. Go eats of here and when you see an aurora in the sky push A to discover
the Aurora. Near this area is the entrance to the purple cave. Sell the infos before
going there. Come back and click on the ice ground to find the entrance of the lost
Ice city. (A5 on the map). You enter the Ruins of ice.

Scene where you find Drachma near... Rhacknam! After the scene you collect the
purple crystal and Drachma leaves you. (answer 1 to Aika). Retrun to Crescent Isle.
Now you can go high in the sky and below the cloud also. I see a great advantage
because in those area there are no fights. The convenient is that you lose a tons of
exp.

High in the sky near your home base in a rainbow. Search there the rainbow island.
Then go south south west and you see a red object. It's the iron star. Return to
Domingo in the meeting room and he gives you an item (you have 50 discoveries). Find
the square K4 on the map in ice land and go below the cloud. You see a huge island,
it's southern cross. Follow the direction of the cross (south) and you find a new
entrance for the ruins of ice. You collect a moon berry. Take the device and you exit
by the other entrance. From this exit, go east and then to the square C2. Search in
this square a place where the screen turn dark. Point to the east ,i think, to look at
the purple moon. Click until you find the eclipse point. South of here is the
looper's nest in the corner of the lonely island here. Above the cloud and near
south ocean i find the ghost ship. This thing move fast and describe a circle. If
you don't find it immediatley like me wait a little it appears. Go in Ixa taka

dancing star to find the rabbats (push A repetively). Go under Shrine's Island to
find a lonely rock with the flying machine on it. It's on C4. Go east and push A to
find the bottomless pit. Go to L10 and stop. Circle on yourself until you find the
giant fish. With the clue given by an ermit above the sky of ixa taka you can search
the flutterflies if you wish.
If you find it you obtain the last item of Domingo. Flutterflies are visible and are
a group of butterflies. it's on the line E4/F4/G4/H4 on the map.
High in the sky near north of Crescent isle and near the sky rift is the house of
Ilchimys. Land there and find a Cham. Use the two talk options. Exit. Come back
later and talk again. The text has changed. Try to recruit him and he comes if Vyse
has the Riselem spell. Return to Crescent Isle and give him 1000 gold so he
increases his shop. Then exit and talk again to him and for 4000 gold he offers an
ilchimix that can heal all HP and MP outside a battle.
Go to the dancing star and enter the Maw of tartas.

MAW OF TARTAS : 

1 : After the save point, there are 2 ways. Go right. The chest here are symbolized
by a yellow crystal with a transparent top. (there is two in this dungeaon). Take
the first chest.

torpedoes and moon stone cannon.

Go to Crescent Isle and find the cham near the flag if you haven't take it before.
Go in the meeting room and find Gilder. Scene. Go near Shrine's Island and below
the cloud and search Dangral island. Land there.

1 : Take the ladder and enter the corridor. Scene. Use the ladder.
2 : Follow the way and click on the red ground to watch a scene or a chest. Do it
each time you see a red ground. You look at a fan here and straight is the last

the lever.
3 : Take the way of the fan. The door of the left is closed. On the right there are
two doors. Take the left one and visit each room for items. Then exit of here and

Talk to Brabham. Scene. 10 days later the Delphinus is ready to go in Deep Sky.
Enrique announces that he wants to left the team and return to Valua.Go under
Shrine's island and search the vortex.

VORTEX : 

You have to go down until a scene stop you. Then Enrique explain how to extract
Fina's ship.  Use B to show you where to search and A to extract. I used the ten
sonars to cover the map and then i extract two pieces of Velorium. Fina's ship is in
the south of the map. Don't waste time to search each square cause of the annoying
battle each time.

Brian Graham drew up a map of the Deep Skies (where Fina's ship is found)
keys:
o = Nothing there
x = Can't dig
f = Fina's ship
v = Velorium

AIR BATTLE FIGHT : THE CHAMELEON : 

Destroy him with the torpedoes and magics only.

AIR BATTLE FIGHT : THE CHAMELEON (ENHANCED WITH THE HARPOON CANNON) :

Kill De loco and say bye bye to deep sky. Return to Sailor's island and meet Baltor.

AIR BATTLE FIGHT : THE BLACK BEARD 2 : 

Easy fight. Use Marco then focus and concentrate all your firepower in one turn. The
boat has 40 000 point only. Then land on Sailor's island and say bye bye to 
Enrique. You can go back to Crescent Isle after you heal and save here.

update 1.5 : 

When you leave the island a long cut scene occurs. It's the false ending. Fina
has all the crystals and must return to her home. Everyone makes a party to say
bye bye to her but... Ramirez and Galcian are not agree with this. And they are
right, if you want my opinion (it's too easy...).

BOSS : 3 SHADOWS:

Choose to fight (answer 1). Kill them quick. 

BOSS : RAMIREZ : 

You can do what you want, Ramirez is invincible (i give 300 000 points of
damage, just to see if there is a hope and that guy lose nothing of his life).
Then Ramirez will take the crystals.In the next cut scene Ramirez explains all
about the silvite and Fina's mission,  Answer 2 (which power are you talking
...) then he tries to kill Fina. After that he goes away. All is destroy in
Crescent Isle. Support Brabham (answer 1) so he can rebuild quickly the Isle for you.
Aika asks what to do and you must say to not give up (answer 1). Then
Fina leaves to be alone in the meeting room. Go to her and answer 1 (it's ok to let
her alone). In an another cut scene Alfonso becomes the leader of the remaining armada
of Valua. Enrique comes to warn her mother but she didn't listen to him. Then Belleza
saves the Prince from death. At this point Gilder joins the team. Before you leave go
near the flag to find another Cham. A miscellaneous thing to do is to click on the
flag and change it to Fina or Aika'one. You can do it as many time as you wish.
Once you are ready take the ship of Fina (near the flag) and take off to silver
shrine.

THE GREAT SILVER SHRINE : (ie the FUNNIEST AND ORIGINAL DUNGEON of ALL RPG ever made)

Note that there is no monsters here. Note also this is not a bug, the gravity goes
upside down in the shrine.

1 : Go straight to enter.
2 : Go straight to a chest (silver armor). Go left and turn when you can to collect a
moon berry. Continue the way.
3 : When you have the choice go straight (the way goes up). Use the device.
4 : Follow the way straight to another moon berry then turn left (or right if you come
from the chest). There is another point when you see the light from the side where you
can find another silver armor (left way).
5 : Use the other way now to end this level.

A long cut scene will explain the truth about the world of Arkadia. Answer 1 to the
silvite. After that Galcian and Ramirez come to take the last crystal. Return home and
accept the offer of the Elder (answer 1, help me to return to Fina's ship). You can
find near the entrance, Fina's room if you want to visit it. Go to Ryu kan's island
and recruit him if you are Vyse the daring minimum. Now return to Crescent Isle and
upgrade his shop. Then if you have two pieces of Velorium, Kan creates a Vorlik Blade
for Vyse. the second piece of velorium is also in deep sky (VORTEX). If you hadn't
find it it's time to go. To obtain the blade use the talk option of Kan and gives the
pieces. Then exit of the isle and enter again to collect it by talking to him.
Return to Valua, go near the sewer entrance and search the house 
with iron barrel on its side. Behind them is a secret way to a moon berry in a
house. Polly asks for 10 grules and she gives the Polly special. To fish a grule go on
the east side of dark rift (the side of Yafutoma) and near the exit is a band of grules
leads by a rainbow grule. A polly special completely heal the wound outside a battle.
Note that there is a short cut in Dark Rift now that you can go higher or lower than a
normal ship, it's an exit down in the first room of the rift. Once you are in Dark Rift
find Robinson, the lost sailor. 
Go in the psychedelic room and enter the tunnel just up and left of where you are. 
You will see a shining boat down with 3 sacrum crystal. Up is another boat with 
Robinson inside. talk to him and Polly recognizes him. You can find a moon berry here 
in a chest. 
Now take off and go to Pirate's Isle to recruit Pow the jester. 
Then go to Gordo's bar. Enter and Exit. Go above the cloud but not too high.
Wander in the line E4/F4/G4/H4 on the map to find the flutterflies. they are yellow
butterfly and wing in group. You increases the chance to see them by entering and
exiting from Gordo's bar. I note something for this discovery a second time because
this time i have find them and i have find a quick way to find them. (Also readers of
the previous version have a different text up here). Anyway return to Crescent Isle
and collect the title of Supreme treasure hunter of Arkadia from Domingo in the
meeting room (hourra...).  In Horteka talk to the tavern master and he speaks of the
letter of Merida. Go to sailor's island lighthouse house and find the red balloon
inside. Bring the letter to Merida and she will come with you. Last go to Yafutoma.
Use a boat in the town to go near the water fall (under a bridge). You arrive in a 
hidden part of the town. There recruit Kirala the builder (a woman) in the house she
is building (answer 1 to her). Then with her you can go to her sister. To quit this
part, use the stair and then the device to go up. Then use the boat to fall down the
known part. From here go to the restaurant and recruit Urala, who is kirala's sister.
She comes with you and you have all the crew member list filled.

OK it's over for the miscellaneous (or ... bref later). Go to Dangral island and land
on it. Follow the way of the fan then the door right to go down and find the way to
the opening (the place where Gregorio was killed by Galcian). You can refer to the
appropriate section of the walkthrough to find it if you have problem. Then use the
elevator.

BOSS : VIGORO : 

He is not so tough with his armor and his gun. After you defeat him you learn that he
wasn't really a bad guy. Even Aika says a word of hope for their possible couple.
(Sorry if you think so but Vyse is for Fina and not for Aika). Save then.
Once you enter Soltis, follow the anti gravity way to the door and enter.

BOSS : ELIMINATOR : 

It's an upgrade version of the sentinel and if i except his stone power there is
nothing to say about that poor boss.

After the scene you must run for your life (but you can't fall in fact) and then you
arrived on the Delphinus. Go to Soltis but a shield stops you. Scene. After that you
are on Crescent Isle. Everyone come to support you so answer 1 to them. On the night,
Belleza comes to say bye bye. Now search Aika and Fina. Fina is near the flag. Talk to
her. Answer 2 if you are intelligent, but if you wish to answer 1 it's your problem...
Then find Aika near the meeting room and answer 2 to her, or 1 but it's your
problem..., Make the final preparations and go to Soltis near Pirate's Isle. Answer 1:
let's make history.

AIR BATTLE FIGHT : VALUAN MAGE SHIP, ridiculous.
		   GALCIAN'S ELITE, Choose 2 (conserve the position)
		   THE HYDRA, attack the upper part (answer 1), then the hull 
		   (answer 2) and cast Increm two times.

GALCIAN'S SHIP : 

1 : Enter and follow the way. Pass the bridge. You can take a X cannon in the chest,
then use the pole.
2 : Use the ladder here.
3 : You are outside now. Go left and use the ladder then the pole to collect a moon
berry and 3 sacrulen. Come back outside.
4 : Go right two times (first exit is from where you came first) and use the second
exit. Use the way here to reach 2 magic dew. Return outside.
5 : Use the last exit. Pass the bridge. Go right to the pole (second room) then go
left to the exit.
6 : Save and use the ladder here. Scene where Galcian arrived.

BOSS : GALCIAN : 

ETERNUM : Galcian can kill everyone, especially Vyse.
DEVOLVER : It's Galcian's version of Increm.
NEGLORA : It's Galcian version of Dispell.
ELECTRULEN : It's the combo thunder you know.
TERMINAL : Galcian jumps in the air, destroys the fleet of Vyse then concentrate all
his power on a single foe. (each time the poor Aika in my case).

The method is simple, everyone focus and Vyse use his Pirate's wrath. Galcian dies
quickly then. After the battle, Galcian escapes but Belleza, kills him. Galcian was
her true love, that's why she couldn't betray him before now. The guy is dead it's
sure. Then the Elders give their lives to allow you to land on Soltis, by Shrine's
island. Save.

If you want you can now, go to the looper's nest in the isolated area south of the
land of ice. From the looper's nest you have discovered go north and meet a giant
looper.

AIR BATTLE FIGHT : GIANT LOOPER : SAVE BEFORE THIS FIGHT

the tactics here is the following : If you hit him with one torpedo he escapes. So in
turn one use Urala, in turn 2 concentrate all the torpedoes you have in one turn to
hit him. He has 50 000 HP. If he escapes you will never see him again, so reset
(A+B+X+Y+START) and restart the battle. In this case, Wait turn three and use the 
moonstone cannon and your torpedoes simultaneously to finish him. 

You can go above the sky of Dark Rift and search the Hamachou island. There you can
ask the stat of your game an most of all find the 27 th cham of this walkthrough. The
28 th cham is in Rixis at the entrance, go left of the left statue to collect him. I
had forgotten to take him when i was there...
In Soltis there are 2 Chams to find and if you have followed my walkthrough, you'll
see Final Cupil. 

Return to Soltis and land near Shrine's island.

AIR BATTLE FIGHT : GADIANOS : 

You can avoid the battle and simply wait the end of the turn but my advice is to
destroy the thing because it gives a strong deck for the Delphinus. This thing has
30 000 HP, so with three different torpedoes or some cannon, you can beat it in one
turn.

SOLTIS :

I take Enrique with me, he is the best. To change of character, simply go to the
bridge and search the character you want, but don't forget to equip him. 

PART 1 : 

1 : Go through Shrine's island and down to where you fight the sentinel. Pass the
door.                                        
2 : You follow a corridor and arrive in a three ways path. Right is a dead end.
Straight leads you to another three ways path but they are all dead end. Go left, you
arrived in a two ways path, straight is a dead end and the good way is right. You
arrived in another 3 ways path and the good way is straight. (left and right = dead
end).
3 : From the good way go right and pass the door. Go straight then.
4 : Follow the way and avoid the dead end.
5 : You arrive in a 3 ways path, left is a dead end. Right leads you to the good way,
but you can also go straight and then pass a door. I do that. The three way path here
is simple : left = dead end, right is the way of the left in the previous path, and
straight is the good way. Go left then. At the 3 ways path go right to collect the
29th cham. Then come back and use the left way to exit. Other path are dead end.

PART 2 : 

6 : Follow the way and open the door. 
7 : Follow the way and discover the final cham. Then use the teleport.
8 : In this second corridor you'll see two teleport and a door. Pass the door to
collect a moon berry then use the first teleport.
9 : Pass the other door to find a second moon berry. Then use the teleport. You are on
the top and look at a giant glowing ball. Pass the door and use the device to arrive
at a save point. SAVE SAVE SAVE SAVE SAVE.
10 : Return to the giant ball and use the teleport. You are at the beginning. Trust
me. Return to the corridor with two teleport. Take the second (at the end after the
door). Follow the way to the room and fight 
11 : Zivilyn Bane, yes he is here, it's true. You obtain the last orb. Then use the
teleport you see to come back again at the beginning. 
WARNING : ON YOUR WAY TO THE TOP, YOU WILL FIGHT AGAIN A GUARDIAN, THEN LATER WHEN YOU
TAKE THE GOOD TELEPORT TO THE TOP, A LINARK. AFTER THE LINARK, USE THE TELEPORT BUT
DON'T TOUCH YOUR ANALOGIC THUMB UNTIL THE CAMERA IS NORMAL. IF YOU TOUCH IT YOU HAVE A
CHANCE THAT THE SPRITE OF VYSE DISAPPEARED. IT'S A BUG AND YOU'LL RESTART FROM THE
BEGINNING SOLTIS. THIS BUG IS RARE FORTUNATELY.If i hadn't save when i say it, 
it would be what await me. I have a great chance. Once you are on the top save and
pass the final door.

BOSS : RAMIREZ : 

ETERNES : he kills someone.
SILVER ECLIPSE : His fury. 
DRILNOS : he weakens everyone.
LUNAR BLESSING : the same as Fina but more powerful.

The tactic is the same as galcian, Aika cure Vyse from weakness, Enrique and Fina
focus and Vyse makes his Pirate's Wrath.

AIR BATTLE FIGHT : ZELOS, THE SILVER GIGAS : 

First choose 1 (maintain the distance) then be agressive and answer 1 to shoot only on
his center. When he cast Drilnos, use Incremus to cancel its effect. Use Urala to have
a lot of SP and later the aura of valor if you didn't use it to fight with Elcian. You must shoot all the cannon and
torpedoes and moon stone cannon in the same time to make great damage. He is long very
long.

FINAL BOSS : RAMIREZ (ENHANCED WITH THE SILVER POWER)

SILVER BINDS : the fury.
SILVER NIGHTMARE : he takes controls of a character.
DRILNOS : i have enough of that spell !

The tactic is the same, Aika cures Vyse, Enrique and Fina focus and Vyse makes his
Pirate's Wrath. The monster is as long as the classical Ramirez.

CONGRATULATIONS YOU HAVE BEAT THIS GAME. Enjoy the ending. The final picture is
different and depends on your title. I was Vyse the hero but you can be Vyse the
legend at the maximum. It's finally over and i'm so happy. The emotion is great as the
ending.

ADK, THE ETERNAL WANDERER.
 
10 PINTA'S QUEST INFO : 

I open this section for some reason. Also It's the first mini game i have
experienced because Arkadia was so great that i wanted to know all about this
game.
You meet Pinta the first TIME you visit the weapon shop of Sailor's island. She or he
,i don't know, joins the crew later. Then press start. To download the mini game you
need 83 blocks. If you want to play with it you must switch off the dreamcast and
use the VMU alone.

I see some advantage in this game.
1 : The more you explore the game (Skies not the mini one) the more the map in
the VMU will be enormous.
2 : Pinta gain experience. The more she or he has exp the more gold you collect.
3 : You can upload Pinta to take the gold and the potential items she or he
found. Of course Pinta find valuable items if she has a lot of exp.
4 : You will encounter different danger : 
A wind and you must press A to resist.
You will see another boat and fight.
You can meet a merchant who exchange items with you. There is more of course.
Those events are random and occurs after a certain levels. 
5 : During the game you can change when you wish of area and explore a new one.
6 : once you have paid 500 gold in Crescent Isle to Pinta, i think he is able to find
in the VMU game the animals he talked about (update 1.5).

11 THE HOMEPAGE OF SKIES OF ARKADIA : 

Well i haven't visited it yet because i haven't an american dreamkey and
especially because internet is very expansive with a dream in my country, but
i'll visit it one day or another.

Update 1.5 : Nobody send infos to me about that but i have real good one
especially for foreigners.

With an american Dreamcast, no problem, go to the site and download the three
files in your VMU.

WITH A FOREIGN DREAMCAST : WARNING : AS YOU ARE NOT AN OFFICIAL MEMBER OF SEGA
NET YOU CAN'T GO TO THE SITE AND DOWNLOAD THE FILES. IN ADDITION OF THAT THE
SITE COMPLETELY DESTROYS YOUR ACCESS IN YOUR COUNTRY AND YOU NEED TO RE INSTALL
THE DREAMKEY ON YOUR DREAMCAST. 
TO DOWNLOAD THE THREE FILES GO TO : 
http://score.sega.com/games/skies/ingame 
You will notice a last thing on the adress like "indoor" or "in" something but i
can't read it due to the clock of the explorer of the game. It's probably there
(with the full adress) where you find the utility of the third download.

Anyway once you have the file, load your save file and accept to implement the
save file with the download. 

Download 1 : the giant looper (see the walthrough part 2)
Download 2 : the Hamachou island (to obtain the last cham)
Download 3 : You can now obtain two new weapons for Aika and Vyse. First fish some
moolah (if you need money only) in the sky and then go to the mystery merchant (a chinese) in the guild of
Maramba or in evry town with him. You'll buy those items if you have money. They are completely useless but
so fun. Aika has a dreamcast logo on her Swirlrang and Vyse a special  Tuna Cutlass that
allows you to combine a frozen spell and another one. It's funny but useless, too
bad. However the Swirlrang confuses every foes and even a boss or an isolated monster like Elcian.

12 LIST OF SKILLS :

Once in a hand to hand battle, pump up the SP gauge to the max and the run option
become the crew option. You can perform two secret furies. 

PROPHECY : there are 3 differents Prophecy to perform. 
	   Vyse Aika Fina Enrique
	   Vyse Aika Fina Drachma
	   Vyse Aika Fina Gilder
The power of this attack depends of your current level.

BLUE ROGUES : it's an attack for a group of foes. Each crew member has an action he
or she can perform with his own voice acting. It's a good thing of Sega of USA. You
can try various version of this fury.
The power depends on your current level and it's also true for the healing part of
this attack. For example, i do 6800 of damage and have 3100 points healed. The guy
who e mail me the tips do only 4500 of damage and 1500 points only are healed. 

DRACHMA : 
TACKLE : a super high impact damage the ennemy. Use 10 SP. (affect one ennemy)
SPIRIT CHARGE : Drachma increases by four the number of the SP. Use 0 SP and
		needs 2 moon berries to obtain it.
HAND OF FATE : A mountain rises under Drachma and he creates a big hand to stomp
	       the ennemy. The ennemy dies instantaneously except if it's a boss.
	       Use 25 SP and needs 4 moon berries to obtain it. (affect one
	       ennemy)

I think it's all for Drachma. Think that he leaves the team so if you want to see
these skills increase him first.

VYSE : 
CUTLASS FURY : Vyse makes a fury that looks like the Mirage sword in Shining
	       Force 3 and looks like Julian (the hero of the scenario 3 for 
	       incult). Use 7 SP.(affect one ennemy)
COUNTER STRIKE : When Vyse is surrounded by ennemies, activate this skill and he
		 will offer a nice counter attack to everyone.(all ennemy)
		 Use 1 SP and needs 1 moon berry.
RAIN OF SWORD :  Vyse looks like a god and jump in the air to summon a lots of
		 thunder sword. (affect all ennemies).
		 Use 14 SP and needs 2 moon berries to obtain.
SKULL SHIELD  :  Vyse summon an old air pirate to protect the party. Useless.
		 Use 5 SP and need 2 moon berries to obtain.
PIRATE'S WRATH : Vyse use a rising thunder storm to launch the ennemy in space,
		 then he comes from beyond the star to make a Grand Cross on the
		 poor victim. This skill is equal with every ennemies 
		 (4000 to 6000 points of damage each time). 
		 Use 21 SP and need 4 moon berries to obtain.

AIKA : 
ALPHA STORM :  Aika shot circles of fire to burn the ennemy. Can make combos if
	       use correctly.
	       Use 4 SP and needs one moon berry to obtain.
DELTA SHIELD :	Aika creates a triangle where magic can't affect the party. Also
		she blocked the magic of the party. I have never success with 
		this spell. Just try it and forget it.
		Use 2 SP and needs 1 moon berry to obtain.
LAMBDA BURST : Aika uses four fire psycho boomerang to kill all ennemies in the
	       battle. Use 8 SP and need 2 moon berries to obtain.
EPSIOLON MIRROR : Aika creates a shield for herself that heal 10 MP and also she
		  is invincible for one turn.
		  Use 10 SP and need 2 moon berries to obtain.
OMEGA PSYCLONE : Aika uses her boomerang to launch a fire tornado on the foes. Even
		 if it's the most impressive of her skill i find it less powerful 
		 than the lambda burst. Use 12 SP and need 4 moon berries to obtain.		  	       

FINA : 
LUNAR GLYPH : Fina asks the moon to hit an annemy. It can stone the victim.
	      Use 3 SP and needs one moon berry to obtain.
LUNAR BLESSING : Fina cast a blessing spell that heal all members by 200 points
		 per turn.
		 Use 12 SP and needs one moon berry to obtain.
LUNAR CLEANSING :  Our dear Fina clean every one from bad status except death.
		   Use 6 SP and need 2 moon berries to obtain.
LUNAR WIND : It's a dispell spell. Useful some times. Use 6 SP and need 2 moon
	     berries to obtain.
LUNAR LIGHT : Fina uses the power of the moon to cure, heal and revive any of the
	      party members. Very impressive.
	      Use 18 SP and need 4 moon berries to obtain it. 
		   
GILDER :
GUNSLINGER : Gilder ask the ennemy to dance for him. Can make combo.
	     Use 9 SP and need 1 moon berry to obtain. 
AURA OF DENIAL : Gilder protect the team from 50 % of damage. Useless.
		 Use 5 SP and need 2 moon berries to obtain.
THE CLAUDIA : Gilder calls his boat to fire on all ennemies. The problem is that
	      the impact is divided by the number of ennemies and in one foe
	      it's less powerful than a Gunslinger.
	      Use 18 SP and need 4 moon berries to obtain.

ENRIQUE : 
ROYAL BLADE :  Enrique looks like Medion (hero of shining force 3 scenario 2) and
	       use his rapier to kill the monster. Excellent.
	       Use 9 SP and need 1 moon berry to obtain.
JUSTICE SHIELD : Enrique summon a shield to protect the party. Useless.
		 Use 4 SP and need 2 moon berries to obtain.
THE JUDGEMENT : Enrique call an ennemy to the coliseum of Valua and launch a dragon
		to punish the ennemy. After that he receives the congratulations of
		Valuan people. Very impressive and ultra powerful.
		Use 16 SP and need 4 monn berries to obtain.		  		 
		 
That' all for the skills.

14 FAQS AND CREDITS : 

I need money :
Search the discoveries before the guild give the hint.

I can't beat the red gigas : 
You must increase you fire power with a sub cannon or two.

I'm block in Rixis cause i take the teleport to the exit. I can't come back : 
You can come back, but you need to press A and the direction you want to go once
you are in the teleport devices. It appears however that many people experiment 
a true bug and can't go back.

I don't want to play this game, it's mix of old and there is no originality.
There are a lot of originalities. The section with the boat and the crew, the
discoveries and the system of magic. Also the story is a real good one. And i
haven't talk of the other to not spoil the fun.

Where is Gordo's bar ?
The square E4 on the map.

What's the main room in the Delphinus ?
It's the room with Gilder. (the command room or the control room or the room with the
wheel...)

Where is Marco ?
Look at the computer on the right and on the other side. Click on the box with a cross
on it to find him automatically. Don't forget to take the moon berry in the symetrical
chest.

15 SECTION ZERO : 

Problem A : The battle against Recumen the red gigas is the most difficult of the game. The
difficulty comes from the red ray you must avoid.

1 : Before you land on Maramba, be sure that you have bought a sub cannon in sailor's isalnd.
I don't remember if it's possible at this point of the game but buy a torpedo too.
2 : Each time Recumen hits you it makes more and more damage to the little Jack. If you really
need to use a repair kit be sure to keep four for the next battle. Personnally i avoid his
shot each time but it seems that it's random from a Dreamcast to another. So don't e mail me
why you lose some HP i don't know. Fight him until you can retreat.
3 : The goal of this fight is only to resist to Recumen. It's impossible to beat him.
4 : Give two captain's stripe to the little Jack before you land on Maramba.
5 : During the fight you notice a red square. 2 turns before, launch a torpedo (if it's
possible to to buy some of course) or else shot with a standard cannon. One turn before shoot
with a sub cannon and in the turn of the red square add the power of the main cannon to the
sub cannon and you normally avoid the red ray.
6 : If you can use the harpoon cannon in the turn of the red square, use it and you are sure
to avoid the shot.
7 : if this don't work try to concentrate all your firepower in the turn before the red
square and put your guard up in the turn of the red ray but i don't believe this will work
better...

Problem B : It seems that everyone wants to complete the mini quest of the girl in Esperanza.
But the same people have missed an important story line.

After you defeat De Loco and the green gigas, on the way to the yellow world, you meet Gordo
and 3 mad chief. After you beat him he creates a bar so everyone can eat the best food in the
world of Arkadia. This bar appears in the sky after the second time you escape of the grand
fortress and once you delphinus can go through the sky rift. I have indicated the exact
location in section 17 so don't ask me where it is, read carefully my faq.

Problem C : Here comes the problem of the ingredients.

The first is discovered automatically once you have find the spice island. It's the khale.
Read this guide to know where it is.
The second is given by Gordo in his bar the second time you meet him (cause the first time is
when you discovered the bar).
The last can be bought in the item shop of the destroyed Nasrad for 500 gold if you use the
talk option.

Other problems : 

It's useless to ask me a map of the dark rift. I have said all i can in this faq.
Read carefully my faq before asking me something. Each time the answer is inside and it's not
my problem if you don't want to read all the text.
Don't forget that it's a SEGA game. As in Phantasy Star 1 to 4, even if you know what to do,
you must talk to a person who said what you can do or else you will block in the storyline. I
know it's stupid but SEGA do this to avoid the spoiler.
The Raw moon stone is used automatically when you talk to a person in Pirate's isle. It fills
with energy your boat. That's why you keep it all along the game. Thanks to Jess Quakenbush
for this info.

I WON'T ANSWER ANYMORE TO ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT SKIES OF ARKADIA CAUSE I'M WORKING ON NEW
PROJECTS LIKE PHANTASY STAR ON LINE AND A SERIE OF UNKNOWN GAMES. I HOPE YOU WILL UNDERSTAND
THIS AND STOP ASKING ME QUESTIONS. I HAVE DONE MY BEST IN THIS WALKTHROUGH AND I'M SURE IT'S
COMPLETE NOW.

16 PERSONNAL NOTES : 

All magics and skills were find.
All crew members were find.
All discoveries were find.
I have find all the cham and abirik cham.
I have completed all the side quest.
I regret that there wasn't a seventh moon, the black moon. I regret also that CD 2 is
shortest than CD 1. I regret that Sega didn't make a super final with all six
characters in a battle against the last boss.
I regret that there is no secret quest after you complete the game. Last i regret i
can't fight a black Gigas from the black moon. At the beginning i really think that
Galcian was the last survivor of the black moon. Well, too bad but after all this is
the best RPG ever made and i can't blame SEGA for the thing i haven't find in the
game.
