1. Basic Gameplay
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Gameplay in this game is very similar to that of Resident Evil. Your
character controls almost exactly as in that game. Items shine so you can
see them like in Resident Evil too. This game is very puzzle based. Most
of the time you have to solves puzzles to get to an area then solve puzzles
to get to another area. The most different part of this game is the fight
system. The fighting in this game is mostly done like a fighting game. You
block and combo enemies. You can use weapons in this game but weapons
sometimes have little or no effect on enemies.
Saving
Saving in this game can be done two ways. You can save every time you start
a new dungeon or you save when you find blue symbols on the floors. When
you select save a screen will pop up with 5 empty slots. Choose one and
press o to save. Now one slot will be filled and it will tell you your
characters name, your location, and the total time you've played. Save often
you never know when a powerful enemy will appear.
In game screen
When your playing the game you'll see a blue bar at the top of the screen.
this is your health bar. If you have a magic item equipped another smaller
bar will appear beneath your health bar.
Map screen
When you press start during the game a map will pop up. The white parts are
the wall the red marks are the doors or stairs. Your position is shown by a
blue dot. The rooms you've visited are the ones that are shown. So if you
don't know where to go next check the map and check to see if the area
behind doors are shown. If they're not shown you haven't been there or it
leads to a different area.
Item screen
In the item screen you will see a lot of boxes on the right. These are where
the items you have are at. Use the controller to select an item then press
o to equip an item or use it. There are two boxes on the left of the screen.
The top one is the weapon you have equipped. The bottom is the magic item
you have equipped. Press o to equip an item. Select the same item and press
o again to unequip an item.
Characters Conversations
This game has a lot of talking in it. There is no way I know of to skip them.
Sometimes they ask you questions. Left is yes right is no. I don't know
what difference answering yes or no makes all the time. I've noticed most
of the time if you answer yes they'll give you items. An example is in
Akira's game in the beginning of the Egyptian dungeon if you answer no you
get nothing but if you answer yes you get a Shotgun. I'll have to check more
to try more things. It's hard to figure out because I know very little
Japanese.
Picking Items or Using Switches
When you pick items up or you search switches a selection comes up. Do you
want to take this item or do you want to push this switch. The left option
is yes the right option is no. The default option is yes.
Finding Items
Items can be found a couple ways. Some can be found left behind when you
defeat enemies and others are laying around in rooms. Most of the items in
the game flash so you can see them but some don't. Check everything because
I did not list the location of everything. I only tell you where to find
the items needed to win.
Blocking
Blocking is important in this game. When your fighting enemies you should
block at all times unless your attacking or unless your running to avoid
attacks or to get behind an enemy. Some enemies can attack you through your
block and some attacks take damage off even if your blocking. Also if you
are attacked by more than one enemies you can just block and the other
enemies will hit each other trying to hit you.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
5. Akira's Walkthrough
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
House
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
First search the desk and pick up the book. Now you'll be taken to a
different area. In this area go up the step and look nearby for a flashing
light. Search it and pick it up. It's a box of matches. Now head down and
go in the lower door. It doesn't look like a doors there but use the map
and you'll find it. Now you'll be in a small room. On the floor you'll
see folded black clothes. Pick it up and use it to put it on. Now go back
out that room and down the step. Now go to the left training dummy. Attack
it a couple times and an item will fly off of it. Search the floor for it
and it's a key. Now go up the step and go in the door by where you found the
matches. Look in the corner of that room for a book. Now search the orange
picture in that room and it moves to reveal a door. Use the key on this
door and go in it. Go through the attic until you get to a table with a book
and a unlit candle on it. Use the matches on the candle then search the
book.
China Level
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
After a sequence you'll be in the China level. Go forward through the first
door and go right and search the vase. Inside you'll find a Green
potion. Now go to the other side of the room to the three doors. Go in the
left one and search the floor for another green potion. Continue through the
other door in the room until you come to double doors in the next room.
Enter that room and go to the top of the screen and search the chair for a
gold key. Now go straight down out of that room and keep going down until
you reach a locked door. Use the gold key on the door and you'll be taken to
three doors again. This time go in the right door and search for a green
potion. Now head back to the room with the chair that had the gold key on it.
This time go in the left middle door and a save point is on the floor here.
Save and head out to the previous room and go in the middle right door. This
is where you'll confront your first enemy. Just keep comboing it and don't
give it a chance to attack back. After he's defeated search the room for a
gray key. Now go in the door at the top of the room and search near the bed
for a book. After that go back to the room with the chair that had the gold
key. Go behind the chair and search the wall to reveal a hidden door. Use
the gray key on the door and go through it and keep going straight through
the next few rooms until you hear a sound. You should now be in a room with
three doors at the top of it. Search near those doors for a bench with two
items on it. the items are a book and some kind of box (does any one know
what this thing does??). Go in the left door now and search the room for
a green potion. Now go to the four orange blocks in this room. Near the
locked door in this room you'll notice a white floor tile with some lines
on it. you have to move the orange blocks so that the lines on top of the
blocks lines up with the lines on the floor tile. To do this first go behind
the left tile and push it towards the locked door until it lines up with the
lines on the floor tile. Now go back to the other blocks and get in the
middle of them and behind the front block. Push the front block towards the
locked door now until it's over the tile and lined up with it. Now go behind
the block on the right and push it towards the locked door so it sits
besides the tile. Then get behind the last block and push it until it aligns
with the tile. The door will now unlock so go in it. In this room are a
couple bats one hit kills them. Now search the two blue screens in the level
and answer yes to the questions and this moves the statues in a previous
room. Now leave this room and go to the room before the puzzle. Now take the
right door and you'll be in a room almost exactly like the other puzzle
room. There is a save in here. Now solve the puzzle like you did before and
go in the locked door. In this room look for a yellow statue that doesn't
match the color of the same statues near it. Push the switch by answering
yes to the question and a box in the room will unlock. Now search the box to
find a dark gold key. Now leave this room and go to the room before the
puzzle. Now go to the door at the lower part of the room. The same one you
came to this room from. A monster with three heads is waiting for you there.
Get close to it and block and combo it when it's not attacking. Once it's
defeated search the room for a purple potion and a Gold item. Now go past it
to the lower exit. You'll be in a room where the statues moved to reveal a
door and a vase. Go search the vase and a switch is inside press it then go
back to the room before the block puzzle. Now go in the middle door. If you
would have gone here before flipping the switch arrows would have hit you.
Now search the shelf in the room to find another gold item. Now go to the
room where the vase with the switch in it was. Now go to the door that the
statues moved to allow access to. Use the two gold items on the door and
then use the dark gold key on it. Go through it and you'll come to a stair
case. Go down it and you'll enter a new area. Most levels in this game have
an area like this at the end of them. These areas are always filled with
enemies. First go to the top room on the map. Look around that room until
you find a pillar with an item on it. Take the item and a sequence follows.
Now go to the room on the bottom right of the map. you'll be attacked by a
three headed dog. Block his attacks and attack. Once he's defeated a save
and a green potion appear. Save the game and go into the next room to meet
the first boss. All the bosses in this game fight pretty much the exact same
way. They all shoot projectiles at you when your at a distance and spin
around you when you're close to them. Right when you're about to score a
good hit on them they usually teleport behind you. They also use close range
attacks sometimes. The best strategy to use is to run close to the enemy and
when they spin around you use the triangle, square, triangle combo. It was
very hard to hit the enemy when I first tried but now these bosses are
pretty easy. After a while of fighting the bosses will run away. The enemy
for this levels shoots multiple projectiles at the same time. After he's
gone Sho will appear and if you answer yes to his question he'll give you
the Moon stone.
Indo level
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Go through the first door and you'll come to a room with a statue blocking
your way. Push it until it's on a switch then go past it to the door. In
this room first go down the steps to the hole in the ground and search to
find a ball of some sort. Now get out of the hole and go to where the room
starts getting dark. You see a pole sticking out of the ground. Use the ball
on it and the room will brighten up. Now head back to the previous room and
push the statue on another switch. This moves a statue in the next room to
reveal a staircase. Now go into the room that was dark and go in the door
there not the stairs yet. In this room you can find a green potion on the
floor. Now go through the left door. In the next room go through the first
door you see. This takes to a room where you start at the bottom of a big
staircase. Go up the staircase and you'll see a green potion nearby the top.
Now go in the door up there. In the next room you'll be in a room with big
tub of water in it search near the tub of water for a key. Next go back to
the place where the room was dark and you brightened it. In this room go
down the staircase behind the statue. Save in this room and then go to the
door by the side of the staircase and enter it. Now go in that room until
you see a door on the left. It's hard to see it use the map. Use the key on
it and go inside. Now on one of the walls you'll see a blue symbol go inside
of it. Now stand in the middle of the circle in there and hit o. Choose yes
and you'll be taken to the room with the tub of water in it. Go back out
that room and down the big stairs and through the door. Search in this room
for a wall with a symbol on it and go in it. Once inside this room climb
down the stairs and grab the item on the floor. It's some kind of cylinder.
Next go in the symbol on the wall near where you found it. It takes you near
the door that was locked. Now go back to the room with the save point and go
in the unlocked door nearby. Use the map if you can't find it. Once in that
room make your way to the door and look for a hole in the wall near it. Put
the cylinder in the hole and the rocks behind disappears and a square is
there, pick it up. Go through the door nearby. the door up from here leads
back to the save point. Continue through this room and you'll be attacked by
a bull. Block it's attack the attack a few times and block again. Once he's
defeated he'll leave behind a triangle. Take it and continue until you come
to two doors. Go in the upper door for a save and a green potion. After you
save come back out and go in the door on the right. A spider attacks you.
Use the usual strategy (block then attack) on it. Once defeated go past it
to the big object at the end. Use the triangle on it. Don't use the square
yet!! Now go back to the area near the beginning of the level where the room
was dark. Go into a door on the right side of this area. Use the map if you
can't find it. Now search this room for a rectangle stone. Take it and
return to the room where you fought the spider and you used the triangle
stone. Use it on the big object and then use the square stone on it. Now go
inside the door on the right. In the next room Catherine appears. Now go
straight and search the next few rooms until you find Catherine again and
she'll give you a piece of a map. Now find another room with a save in it.
Now keep going and a monster with a club attacks. Try and get behind him or
on his side and attack. Now keep going and you'll meet the level boss. Use
the strategy you used for the last boss. This time the enemy is quicker and
can send projectiles out in different directions around himself.
Egypt level
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
When you first enter the level a conversation is going on when you are asked
a question answer yes to be given the shotgun. First go through the door and
find a part of the room with a coffin in it search this coffin to find a
staff. Now go through to a room with two boxes in it. Push the left box all
the way up the push the other box all the way up. Now check the upper left
corner for two green potions. Then check the lower left corner chair. Push
the switch on the chair and a staircase appears behind the left box. Go down
the staircase and go down the long hall in the room to a room with a mummy
in it. Fight the mummy and when he's defeated search the dog statue on the
shelf for a crystal ball. Now go out that room and down the opposite sides
hall and in the door. In this room there is a statue attached to a side
wall. Use the crystal ball on this statue and it creates a platform so you
can get to the rest of the room. Two mummies will attack you now. Now go
straight to the middle door and pick up the ankh. Now leave that room and go
in the other door. Now keep going until you see another statue attached to a
wall use the ankh on it. It opens a passage behind you that leads to a
previous area. Check the middle of that passage for a room with shotgun
bullets and a green potion. now go back out to the door near where you used
the ankh. Now search the rooms in the new area for room with a wooden
structure in it. Check the body in that room to find a book. Now leave there
and go down a similar looking hallway nearby. You'll be attacked by an enemy
with a shield and a sword. Attack him when his shield is to his side. Once
he's dead continue down that hall and into the next room. You'll find a
mummy lying on a table. On the table next to the mummy you'll see a shining
item. Don't take it yet or you'll be attacked. Instead go around the top of
the mummy and use the staff on it then go and grab the item. It's a red gem.
Now head to a room where boulders will fall and come towards you. If you get
hit by a boulder you'll be killed. To avoid this make your way towards where
the boulders are falling from by going between the statues when you see a
boulder coming then running on the path when the boulders aren't coming.
When you make your way near where the boulders are coming from go in the
door on the right. Inside you'll find a blue gem. Now head back into the
room where boulders are falling. Keep running between the statues on the
left until the camera angle shifts to face the wall. Search the wall there
and you'll find a secret door. Go in there and enter the middle room to find
Sho. He gives you part if a map. Search the table in that room for a key.
One of the nearby rooms has a save in it and the other has handgun bullets
in it. Now go back where the boulders were falling. Go all the way to where
the boulders are falling from and use the key on the door. Enter the room
and climb the steps here to get to a glowing statue. Use the blue and red
gems on it. This brings alive another statue that attacks you when you go
down the stairs. Defeat it and it leaves behind another gem. Take it and use
it on the glowing statue. Now when you go down the steps a staircase
appears. Go down these steps and go through the rooms in the new area until
you encounter a monster with an axe. Try and run behind the enemy and attack
him. Sometimes when the enemy does an overhead attack he'll get stuck in the
floor. Attack him during this also. Once he's defeated search the back wall
for an item that looks like a blue shield. Now go and look for a locked door
with a small white box use the blue shield on the white box to unlock the
door. Go in the door and search the wall for a computer. This takes you to a
new screen. The point of this game is to rotate any of the shapes it gives
you up to four times to match the shapes on the left of the screen. Press
the x button to go back anytime during this. If you did it wrong you'll hear
a fire alarm type sound.

and Catherine will appear. Now go in the room before where you fought the
monster with an axe. Go in the other door there (it's unlocked now). Now
you are attacked by an axe monster and another monster at the same time.
After you defeat them a save and a purple potion appears. Save your game
because the boss is next. Use the same strategies that you used on the other
bosses.

near the door and you'll see a computer on the wall. This takes you to a
different screen. The point of these puzzles is to move the different
colored blocks to the floor tiles of the same color. This itself wouldn't be
hard but when you move one colored block it moves the other block of the
same color. I'll give the instructions on how to solve the puzzles.
*****************************************************************************
When I say move a block up once, I mean move it up a whole square on the
screen not one step. When I say top block I mean the block that's highest
on the screen. When I say bottom I mean the block that's lowest on the
screen.

to a room with a pillar coming out of the ground. Search it and the boss
will appear. Use the same strategies that you used on the other bosses.
America Level
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the first room you have to push a rock onto a switch. In the second big
room look by the side of the wall for machine gun bullets. When you find the
first save point in this level search nearby for a key. Use the key in one
of the previous rooms. Now you can move two statues around on a cross shaped
pattern in the floor. The position on the cross of the statues controls
where two bridges appears in the next room. First you should only move the
both of statues forward until they click once. Now into the next room where
the bridges appear and make your way to a room upstairs. You'll see statue
next to a hole in the floor. Push the statue into the hole. Now search a
wall with a picture on it and you'll find a brown stone. Now go back
downstairs to the statues that control the bridges. now push one of the
statues until one is all the way up and one is all the way right. Now go
over the bridges and find a room with a statue in it. Walk near the statue
then run away because a big rock crushes the statue. Search around the floor
now for a blue stone. Now go in the previous room and look around for a key
on the floor. Now go to the room where the rock crushed the statue and use
the key on the locked door in it. This door takes you to a previous area.
Now go to the statues that control the bridges and push one of the statues
all the way right and push the other one all the way down. Now go back to
the bridges by going through the door you just unlocked and make your way to
a new room. Search the floor here for a red stone. Now go right of the big
square rock and move out of the way when it comes towards you. When it moves
it reveals a new door. Go in this door. In the room you are in now when you
move in front of the square rocks they will come towards you. Avoid them the
look for a hole in the wall in the room. The hole leads to a area where you
will find a key. Now continue through the room and into the next and use the
key on the locked door. In the room with a save you'll see two colored boxes
on the walls use the colored stones on the boxes of the same color then go
forward and use the brown stone on the statue that blocks your way. Next
find the room with a pillar sticking out of the floor and use the map pieces
on it. Now take it off of the pillar and go into the door nearby. Keep going
and you'll be attacked by Catherine. One good combo and a sequence follows.
No boss here.
Final level
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The first thing to do in this level is to go in the left door on the floor
(don't go upstairs yet). You'll see a huge block of ice and above you a low
hanging ledge. Push the ice block into the low ledge and an item will come
off of it. Pick it up it's a green key card. Go back to the previous room
and go in the right door. this time you have to push the ice block so that
it lines up with a square hole in the above railing. After you have it
aligned go to the previous room and up the stairs. Once you're upstairs go
in the right door and search for the hole in the railing go through this
hole and onto the ice block you pushed against it to find a red key card.
Next go downstairs and use the red key card on the middle door. Go inside
and use the green key card on the next door. Go through that door and go to
the lower right door and go in. In this room push the ice block so that goes
in the empty space in the above ledge and it presses on a switch that looks
like a red snow flake. Now go into the previous room and go in the lower
left door. In this room you have to make a bridge from the ledge with an
item on it to the hole in the above ledge. You do this by pushing the ice
blocks so that they line up together. No explanation is needed here. this
is easy to do. Now go upstairs and cross the bridge to find a blue key card.
Now go to the middle door upstairs and you'll have to fight a enemy with two
clubs. Run away from it when it spins then combo it when it stops spinning.
After it's dead a save point appears. Save and go forward through the door.
Search this room and you'll find a purple key card. Now go downstairs and
through the middle door and keep going straight. After a few rooms you'll
be in a room with a save point. Search this room to find machine gun
bullets. Now continue and go down the left stairs for more machine gun
bullets. Go back upstairs and go down the right steps. Next you have to push
a ice block out of your way. When you come to the next locked door use the
purple key card on it. Go in the door and you'll be taken outside. Yes, this
area is as big as it looks! The thing to do first her is to set the machines
to the direction they are in. When you go into the first building you'll
see a machine in the middle of it. When you search it displays a N. If
you answer yes to the question it switches to E then To a weird symbol for
south and then W. Go up from this building and you'll be standing on a
compass. Four buildings surround this compass. Set the machines in these
buildings to the letter for the direction they are in. When they are all
aligned properly you'll here a sound and a door unlock. Go to the compass
and go straight up to the top building on the map and you'll find a weird
item. Now go to the upper left building on the map and search the basement
to find a blue shield (anyone know what to do with this??). Now go in the
building on the upper right of the map and search for a small room with two
machines in it. Use the weird green item on the bigger machine then search
the smaller machine. The screen will switch to the shape puzzle screen.
Here is the solution:
Shape Puzzle
------------
First choose the square and press down one, left one, then press o
Next choose the cone and press up twice, right twice, then press o
Next choose the pyramid and press left once, up twice, then o
Last choose the cylinder and press up twice, then o twice
Now go to the previous room where a staircase leading down has appeared.
Go down the stairs and then go down the stairs there. Search for a crystal
there. Now go back up the stairs and to the stairs on the opposite side
of the room. Climb these steps and you'll be in a new area. Go to the
center of the map and you'll see the compass here is different. The top of
the compass is the weird S, the middle is N, and the bottom is E. Now go
left from here and set the machine inside to N. No go up to the next
building and set the machine to the weird S. Then go all the way down and
set the machine to E. Now from this room go out the bottom door and you'll
see machine here. Use the crystal on the machine and after a building will
rise. Go in this building and search the pillar in it and take the Moon
coin. Now another pillar rises. Use the pieces of the map on it and a
sequence will follow. Now go out of this building and go to the lower right
corner of the map. Stay outside to the left of the corner building and go
down the stairs until you are in a room with three colored pillars. Use the
Moon coin on the center pillar the search the pillar and take it off. Now
Go back upstairs and go right and down to the lowest right corner of a map
and you'll find a weird blue thing in the building. Now head up from here
until you get to the building that you got to this area from. Once in that
room use the weird blue item on the right machine and operate the machine
on the left for another shape puzzle. Here is the solution:
Shape Puzzle
------------
First choose the square and press down once, left once, down twice, then o
Next choose the cylinder and press up once, left twice, then o
Next choose the cone and press up twice, right twice, then o
Last choose the pyramid and press up twice, right once, then o twice
Now the door in the room will be unlocked go inside of it and go in the blue
door here. keep going this way and you'll fight the boss from the first
level. He's pretty much the same as before except now he has an attack that
blows you away from him and a new charge attack. This time the bosses you
fight will take more hits to defeat because this time they won't run away
after a couple hits. Once defeated he leaves behind the Star coin. Now make
your way back to the room with the different colors doors and go in the
yellow door. Keep going straight and you'll fight the Indo level boss. He
is a lot faster now and hard to hit. Use the moon crystal magic to freeze
him then combo him. Once defeated he leaves behind the Sun coin. Go back
to the different color doors and go in the last door. Keep going straight
and you'll meet the Egypt level boss. Defeat her and she leaves behind a
blue crystal. Now go back to the room where you inserted the Moon coin
before. Now insert the Moon coin in the middle pillar, insert the Sun coin
into the left pillar, and insert the Star coin into the right pillar. This
raises a pillar from the floor. Use the blue crystal on this door. Now the
door in this room is unlock so go in it. Keep going and save for the
last time and keep going until you come to a pillar. Use the map pieces
on the pillar and a sequence will follow. Now you will fight the last boss.
First he is just like all the other bosses but after you attack him a couple
times a sequence will follow and he becomes more powerful. He still fights
a lot like the other bosses but he attacks more. He also has two new attacks
one is how he can cause lightning bolts to strike down. His other attack
freezes you for a few seconds. You can't block this but if you are frozen
blocking you'll still block attacks.
