to mail
          me with questions
=================================================================1.
INTRODUCTION
     Evergrace is an action RPG for the PSX2 not dissimilar to the Zelda
series for the
N64.  In the game you take control of 2 protagonists. Although their stories
start out
completely different, in the end they meld together.  All in all the game
took me about
12 hours to beat (an estimation after I deducted time I spent translating
stuff).
    In order to play the game I suggest you have the ability to read (though
not
necessarily understand) basic Japanese.  If you can recognize katakana and
hiragana
you will have a much easier time.  However for the sake of those of you who
understand no Japanese I plan to make this FAQ as such that no language
ability will
be required (though this may take time).
     Like all RPG's nowadays, Evergrace has it's own new system.  This is
called the
"Dress-up" system.  In order to gain new spells and special techniques in
Evergrace
you must equip and upgrade various weapons and armor.  You can also change
the
color of your character's outfit.  Basically they should have called it the
Barbie system
but it's called the Dress-up system, go figure.  Still, it's gosh darn fun.
    The game has nice crisp clear graphics and good responsive controls.
However the
music is a bit repetitive (that's okay I hate most game music anyway) and
both heroes
go through many of the same dungeons. Still, I had a fun time playing the
game and I
never got tired of it.
=================================================================2. THE
STORY
        Under Construction
=================================================================3. THE
BASIC CONTROLS
Left Analog Stick: move characters and select from menus.
D-pad:. Just the same as the above
Circle:  accept, search, talk.
X: Cancel, (press while walking to run.)
Triangle: Parumila Action.
Square: Attack.
Start: nothing
Select: Go to Status Screen
L1:  Quick Item
L2:  Select Parumila Action
R1:  Reset camera view, Look around (w/ D-pad).
R2:  Camera Zoom (Close / Normal / Far)
=================================================================4. MENU
MANIA!
    There are two status menu's the first is accessed by pushing the select
button
anytime during the game. This menu has an orange background and will
hereafter be
referred to as the ORANGE MENU.  The other menu is accessed whenever you go
up
to a blue save crystal and press the circle button, this will be called the
BLUE MENU.
There is also of course the display (per se) that you see when your
character is running
around or fighting.  This will be called the DISPLAY MENU, and I'll explain
it first.
***************************************************************
4.1 THE DISPLAY MENU
   This is of course not really a menu per se, but what you see when you're
not in any
other menu.  On the lower left you'll see a HP gauge with a Power % above
it, see the
combat section for an explanation of this.  To the left of the HP gauge
you'll see a green
globe with whatever "quick item" you've selected in it (see 4.22 below for
how to do this).
Below the HP gauge you'll see a number indicating how much money you have.
Finally
below the money number you may see a Chinese character in highlighted in
pink, green
or some other color. If you're seeing this you are suffering from a BAD
STATUS effect!
Use an item to cure this (see below 4.22).
    On the lower right hand side of the screen you'll see numbers for all
the Parumila
points your equipment has left (see section 5 for Parumila explanation).
Always watch
these numbers to make sure they don't go to low, or else your equipment will
become
useless!  If an item's Parumila number becomes zero it will break and you'll
have to
pay a buttload of cash to fix it! (See shops section for more) The numbers
go as follows
                     1. Weapon
                     2. Helmet
                     3. Armor
                     4. Leggings
                     5. Accessory
    And yes there's a map in the upper right hand corner of the screen.
***************************************************************
4.2 THE ORANGE MENU
  It has the following commands listed on the left.
   1. Equip items (see section 4.21)
   2. Use Items (4.22)
   3. Assign Parumila Action (4.23) .
   4. Options (4.24)
   5. Load (4.25)
   6. Tutorial (4.26)
     On the lower left of the screen you'll see all your Parumila stats for
your
equipment, just like the display menu. On the upper right you'll see icons
for equipping
items.
     NOTE: You can press the Triangle button at anytime for a help menu (in
Japanese
of course), and the Square button to see you character's normal attack pose.
L1 and R1
will rotate your character.
***************************************************************
4.21 Equipment Menu
     As soon as you highlight the menu you'll see icons representing the
different types
of things you can equip (weapons / helmets / armor / leggings /
accessories).  Simply
scroll through these menus and highlight what you want to equip. When you
select an
item (say for instance a weapon), a statistics screen will appear on the
left-hand side of
the screen. Anything highlighted in blue represents an increase in a given
stat.
Anything in red means a decrease.  Your stats are listed in the top box,
below that (in
the bottom box) you'll see numbers representing your resistance / power with
various
elements and weapons.  Translations of these are given below.
     Once you equip a given item you'll see the immediate change in your
characters
appearance on the screen. Since what you equip effects your HP don't be
surprised to
see that your HP bar went down when equipping new items.  For instance if
one
helmet gives me +100 HP for a total of 400HP and I then equip another helmet
with
+150HP my new HP will be 400/450 so my bar will have gone down a bit.
STATS SCREEN (appears on the left when you access orange menu)
Attack Strength (weapon damage)
Life (affects HP level)
Wisdom (affects magic damage)
Defensive Strength (physical attacks)
Luck (affects damage  a little and rate of Parumila decrease )
ELEMENT SCREEN
  All numbers on the left correspond to attack strength, on right are
defense numbers.
           Slashing Weapons
           Blunt Weapons
           Impaling Weapons
           Electricity
           Earth
           Fire
           Ice
    Pay attention to these numbers closely when determining how good a
particular
piece of armor or weapon is. These numbers are often more important than the
ones
above them especially when you figure weapon damage.
***************************************************************
4.22 USING ITEMS:
    This is super easy just scroll and select. If you can't use an item, or
don't need it
(say using a life potion when your HP are full) you'll hear a buzzer
indicating so.  The
Triangle button will give you explanations of items.  Press the Square
button to put an
item in your quick item slot (you can use it during onscreen combat with the
L1 button).
You can hold up to a maximum of 9 of any given item.  See the item's section
for a
description of common items!
***************************************************************
4.23 ASSIGN PARUMILA ACTIONS
    This works just the same as pressing the L1 button anytime during
combat. Simply
scroll through the list of actions and assign one by pressing the Circle
button.  If you
don't have any equipment that give you parumila abilities then you won't be
able to
select anything.  The top choice says (nashi) in Japanese which means "none"
or
"nothing".  Thus choosing this will leave you without any actions.  Memorize
these
two symbols.  When you check your weapons status and it lists the actions
given
anytime it says nashi there is no action for that particular level of
weapon.  Look at
your helmets since only two helmets in the game give you actions.  Here's a
good
chance to memorize the Japanese symbols for this word.
    Once you have an action equipped go back to the combat / field screen.
Here press
the Triangle button to check and see what you action does. Note: ALL
PARUMILA
ACTIONS will drain your power gauge to 0%. So watch out and make sure you
know
what's what before you run into combat.
   You'll often see a list of many actions to choose from and if you don't
know Japanese
it'll be confusing to figure out which is which.  If you really want to get
a good
command of your actions I suggest you equip items one by one (i.e. sword
only! No
armor) and scribble down the effects of a given piece of equipment's
actions.  Do this by
the save crystal so you can re-load your game after seeing what's what.
Sorry, but
there is no easy way around this if you don't know Japanese.
   Once you know what's what and you re-equip everything you'll often see a
list of 6-8
actions to choose from.  These actions will appear in the same order as the
parumila
levels on your equipment does on the combat screen. Once again c
                     1. Weapon
                     2. Helmet
                     3. Armor
                     4. Leggings
     So if you have a sword with two abilities (say "Ice Blast" and
"Tri-Slash") armor
with one (Say "Bind Soil") and boots with one (say, "Hover") your list will
look like this c
   nothing
   Ice blast
   Tri-slash
   Bind Soil
   Hover
NOTE: Accessories never have parumila actions and helmets rarely do.
***************************************************************
4.24 OPTIONS
   You'll see the following.
1.Sound (two meters for BGM, below is SE (sound effects). Also choose stereo
/ mono )
2.Analog control response rate (best not mess with this)
3. Vibration (On or Off save the dirty jokes for later!)
4.Window Color (The ol' R-G-B setup)
5. Key Config. (re-arrange the buttons to yer pleasin')
              (More on key-config later, sorry.)
***************************************************************
4.25 LOAD
  Allows you to load previous saves. (duh).
***************************************************************
4.26 TUTORIAL
   If you can't read Japanese this isn't useful.  If you can why are you
reading this
wasting precious moments of your life?
***************************************************************
4.3 THE BLUE MENU
   1. Status Menu (switches you to ORANGE MENU COMMANDS)
   2. Shop (Go to the shop)
   3. Change Characters (exactly what it says)
   4. Monster Stats (sorry but no pictures)
   5. Save
   6. Quit Game
=================================================================5. WHAT'S
PARUMILA?
     Many games have magic or skill or what not; Evergrace has parumila.
Parumila
works just like the aforementioned abilities.  It allows you to do things
like shoot out
fire, hover over traps, or perform a cool looking Zorro-esque slash with
your sword.
    You gain parumila through equipping and upgrading weapons and through
equipment.  A given piece of equipment will have anywhere from 0-3 parumila
actions
it can perform.  Most start with one action, subsequent actions are gained
by
upgrading them to higher levels. When you go to the shop and upgrade an item
(see
shops section below) be sure and check if it gains any new parumila actions.
     In order to assign a parumila action to your character press the L1
button (or
access the Orange Menu). See above section 4.23 (above) for a good
description on how
this works.
     In any case you might have noticed those number on the lower right hand
of your
combat screen (see 4.1 above).  These are the parumila levels of your
equipment. As
you hit enemies with your weapons, get hit (concerning armor) or use
parumila actions
the parumila levels of you equipment will go down.  If a given piece of
equipment's
parumila level becomes 0 it becomes useless.  In case you were spacing out
you can tell
an item has gone bad by a sudden flash around your character on the screen.
Also the
broken piece of equipment turns a dull gray in color. Note: A broken item
looses all it's
abilities and offensive / defensive bonuses. If your item breaks equip
something else!
    In order to fix an ailing item or broken (parumila level 0) item you
have two options.
First you can go to the shop here go to the area for whatever you want fixed
(If I have a
sword I'll go to the weapons area).  Next choose the "Repair" option, pay
your money
and your item's level will be back to normal.  The cost for fixing ailing
items is usually
pretty cheap. However, if an item breaks you have to pay a very high price
to fix it (half
of it's new cost I think).  ALWAYS BE AWARE OF YOUR PARUMILA LEVELS!!
    You can also buy an item (see items section) that looks like a blue
diamond with a
glowing globe in the center (price 200).  You can use this anytime to repair
ailing items.
It will not however, work on broken items.
     Parumila actions are the keys to solving most of the game's secrets.
There are 3
types of actions Elemental Attacks (elec / earth / fire / ice ),  Special
Attacks (i.e. the
"Guard Break" maneuver), and Movement Actions ( Like "Hovering").
    Many of the puzzles in the game are solved by using parumila actions.
For
instance if you see a room blocked by a giant ice mountain melt it with a
burst of fire.
If you see a big boulder or fallen column in your way use the "Crush" action
to block it.
Also if there's some lava in your way why not "hover" over it?
   Again this is the main part of the game in which knowledge of Japanese
really helps.
See the Equipment section below (Sorry, it's long from finished) for an
explanation off
all the parumila actions of a given weapon or piece of equipment.
=================================================================6. LET'S
FIGHT! (COMBAT)
     Combat in Evergrace is for the most part pretty intuitive to anyone
who's ever
played an action adventure game.  If this isn't you then I suggest you start
off playing a
game in your native language first!  Still, I highly suggest you read below
before you
start hacking away.
     Basically you run around and hit things, sometimes they hit you back
and
sometimes you die.  Do take note of you HP gauge at the bottom left of the
screen
(yellow bar) and the percentage number above it.  As you run or attack this
number
will decrease (red portion of the bar), and as you rest (walking okay) it
will grow bigger.
     The percentage affects the amount of damage you'll do. Thus if my sword
attack
does 100 points of damage and I strike while my percentage bar reads 83%,
I'll do 83
points of damage.  If I strike when it reads 0% I'll do no damage.  Notice
that as your
HP decrease your gauge recovers faster. This is supposed to replicate the
adrenaline
boost you get when you're attacked.  Ever notice how things tend to fight
back a little
harder when they think they're gonna die?
     Other things to take notice of include the fact that there are two
types of normal
attacks.  If you press the joystick/D-pad towards your opponent and press
Square you'll
do a strong attack.  Strong attacks exhaust you more, but they do more
damage and
have different patterns (i.e. a thrust instead of a swing).
    Whenever you use a Parumila action you'll fully exhaust yourself so
watch out!
One method I use to recover and still avoid the enemy at the same time is to
quickly (not
too fast, though) tap the X button while moving.  This will start you into a
run but
won't drain you.  It ends up looking like your character is doing a shuffle.
   I think it goes without mentioning that you should pick up all gems and
treasures
that enemies drop when they are hit.  To pick up items press the Circle, for
gems
simple run over them.
   Jumping from a high place won't damage you.  If you can't see the bottom
(or it's
very deep) take care since the fall will kill you!
=================================================================6. BUY,
SELL & SAVE
     Whenever you see a giant, blue mist-encircled crystal in Evergrace that
means you
can shop, save, or even switch heroes (see BLUE MENU 4.3 above). Once you
enter the
shop you'll have a number of options to choose from.  These should be
obvious as to
what's what.
***************************************************************
6.1 WEAPONS:
    At first you'll have the following options
    1. Buy
    2. Sell
    3. Repair (See Parumila section!)
    4. Upgrade
NOTES:
  *You can not buy a weapon you already own.
  *You can not sell a weapon you are currently equipping
  *Before you "Upgrade" you'll be given a preview of the stat changes
  *When you upgrade a weapon (if it isn't broken) is automatically repaired
                 don't waste money repairing, then upgrading a weapon.
***************************************************************
6.2 MONSTER NOTES
 Simply select a monster (you'll see the picture) and pay the price to enter
it into the
notes.  You can then check the monster's stats in the start-up screen menu
or the Blue
Menu.
***************************************************************
6.3 ACCESSORIES
   You only have three choices here. Basically they work just like "weapons"
    1. Buy
    2. Sell
    3. Repair
***************************************************************
6.4 ITEMS
   Remember a maximum of 9 of any given item. You also have to buy them one
at a
time! (ugh!)
   1.Buy
   2. Sell
***************************************************************
6.5 HELMETS
    1. Buy
    2. Sell
    3. Repair (See Parumila section!)
    4. Upgrade
    5. Change Color
NOTES:
  When changing color use the D-pad / stick to scroll through the different
hues.  Color
makes no difference as far a the items stats go.  The only reason to change
the color of
your gear is to either progress the plot in the game at given points or
simply to look cool
(equally important).
***************************************************************
6.6 LEGGINGS
    1. Buy
    2. Sell
    3. Repair (See Parumila section!)
    4. Upgrade
    5. Change Color
***************************************************************
6.7 ARMOR
    1. Buy
    2. Sell
    3. Repair (See Parumila section!)
    4. Upgrade
    5. Change Color
***************************************************************
6.8 TALK TO SHOPKEEPER
  This won't result in much unless you have the mushroom item. If you have a
mushroom he'll ask if he can have one choose yes (top) or no.  If you give
him one he'll
give you a one time 50% discount off of your next purchase or upgrade.  If
you want to
use another mushroom for a discount you have to exit the shop and re-enter.

YUTERALD'S  WALKTHROUGH ( The first half of this section was written by
Matthew Murphy)
REMEMBER TO REFFER TO THE MAP (upper right screen) FOR ALL DIRECTIONS
And of course  N= north, S= south, W= west, and E= east.
   Check the message boards at gamefaqs for good hints!
YUTERALD-VERSION
Section 1 : Hill of SARAMADO
First when you gain control go and get the sword sticking out of the mound
then
go and talk to the old person two times (he is by a gate somewhere, you find
him!) (TO
the right of the broken statue to be exact) talk to him twice then backtrack
to follow a
dog to fight a very weird monster (See Sharumi's walkthrough if you can't
find the dog-
Bodi). It looks like a ghost with a turtles shell on his back and obtain
icecuilt amour
from the dog. then go back to the old man and kill Chabaran
(big ugly guy, you will know him when you see him!!) who is trying to kill
the old fart at
the gate! then pass through the gate and into the cave!(Continuos side
attack works
well with Chabaran!!!)
Section 2 ; SECRET ROUTE ON ROYAL FAMILIES
First go and save before you check the chests (one of the chests has a nasty
surprise!) go
and kill the bird robot thingy trying to peck the blue crystal apart! if you
donut stop him
in time you have to reset and start again! use the crystal to lower a draw
bridge then go
and collect the items you should of missed before,(the crystal wall blocking
your to a
chest can be smashed by fire magic) go over the bridge and onwards until you
get a
stone dude(Odanight)sitting on a seat ,kill the guy! magic works well and
attacking him
from behind dose the trick as well to! after you kill him go and get the red
boots from the
chest from behind the seat and put them on ,you will need them to continue.
Continue
on the path until you reach a elevator.
   IMPORTANT (from Bodi): I highly suggest you get the "Kill Royal", the
bird mask
helmet you get by destroying the ice blocking the chest mentioned above.
This will
help you in the near future. You can destroy the ice by using fire.  You can
get fire by
equipping the fire armor and using the first or second paruami action it
has.
Section 3 : IN FRONT OF CASTLE RYUVEN
***Be careful around the cliffs
There are many places where you might fall down
and some that may be a short cut***
Make your way to the bridge in front of the castle and you will see Bigbird
(no not the
big yellow guy  I think his name is Dragos) take off with a red or blue
ball, now the fun
begins! you get to go play fetch! there is a time limit with this so you
have to hurry! you
have 60 seconds to get back the stolen crystal balls or Bigbird will steal
another one !
you will find the balls in no real order in one of the nest on one of the
trees.
After you have the ball and made it back under 60 seconds replace the ball
and go on
into the castle.
***If you could not get it and put it back within 1 minute
BigBird will take another ball as well. In this case, you have to set the
one you already
have
back or the second one will not appear in any of the nests***
Section 4 : CASTLE OF RYUVENT 1F/2F (This part was written by Bodi)
    Go straight and take the second left (West, by the save crystal) and go
through the
door.  Open the chest and get the treasure (It's the "Royal armor").  Also
go in the door
north of the save crystal to get the globe weapon. Now backtrack south and
take the
first West turn you passed by earlier. Enter a room and take the Gondola
(Remember to
equip your Gondola boots in order to get the gondola's to work)
     Now you'll be on the second floor (by the way you can hit the
north-most table in
the next room to make the dark crystal monsters appear. See Dark Tower
section below).
Now Just run eastward to another elevator which you'll take back down to the
first floor.
Now you'll be in a locked room get the chest and the pot helm.  In the chest
is a part of
the goddess statue.  In any case now go the big pile of wood blocking your
way (a little
north of the save crystal).  If you haven't already done so, go to the shop
and buy the
club.  Now equip the club's paruami action to crash through the pile of
wood.  Head
directly north and place the item you just got on the fountain of the
goddess statue.
    You might want to wander around the first floor now. You can also find a
Pumpkin
helmet here (East of the save point a north door), 2 mushrooms (find 'em
yourself), and
a  big hammer ( Northeast of the door before the goddess statue use your
flying boots to
hover over the poison).
     Now head up the stairs (south by the entrance).  Equip the Royal Armor
and save
your game (to the west of the stairs).  Now wearing the Royal Armor you
should be able
to open the gate leading north.  Here you'll fight a weird boss stand on the
platform
and shoot ranged attacks at it and it's an easy fight.  When you're done
with the boss
go to the door on the left-hand side (It should be locked) backtrack south
along the west
wall and you'll notice something sticking out of the wall.  Examine it and
it will ask
you if you want to put the Kill Royal on the stump(helmet obtained in
section 2. You
DID get it, right?).  This will open up a secret passage with an elevator.
A total of 5
items can be gotten here! But watch out! One of the chests is a trap! Which
one? I'll
leave it up to you to find out.  Be sure to get the Alter Face helm (hockey
mask) here.
     Now head to the upper right-hand door of the boss fight room and take
the
elevator to the next level.  Oh yeah you might have to throw a switch on the
throne
first to get the door to open, sorry but I forget.

First go to the Red alter and attack it with ice magic, then go to the
blue alter (the room with the red door) and attack it with fire magic
then before you continue, go to the round room and keep turning the mirrors
(that were not there before) around until the green door opens and go get
the funny
hammer in the chest, if you don't do it now when there are two mirrors it
will nit open
latter when there are three mirrors, now go to the Purple alter and attack
it with
earth(wood)magic.
Go back to the Round room and keep hitting the mirrors until you upon and
check every room. When your ready to leave bash the mirrors one last time to
open the
blue A door and make your way to the exit!
**Warning! Every time you hit a mirror a lady thingy will
appear and try to kill you and you cant move the mirror again until you kill
them!(good
way to get money).
Section 6: SECRET AREA OF THE ROYAL:  (All sections from here on are written
by
Bodi. As if you cared..)
    Follow the path straight and go to the temple and talk to the priestess.
Now exit
south.  If you've played Sharuami already this must look awfully familiar.
Follow the
path as far north-west as you can till you come to a statue.  Now go back to
the temple.
Along the way you might run into a big birdman statue blocking your path.
To take
care of the unequip your weapon and examine it.  Now talk tot he priestess
she tells
you to head south-east to the Hill of Salamando.  ]
    Once you enter the hill you'll notice something familiar blocking your
way. Crash
through it using your club like you did the wood in section 4.  Now go to
the lake in the
east most part of the map.  Here you'll have an event and the old man will
give you the
Royal Hood (Helmet).  Equip this helmet and the Royal Armor and go all the
way back
to the statue in the north-west part of the other map. Here you'll fight a
boss and get the
Royal Medal.  With this in hand head back to the priestess and talk to her.
You should
now be teleported to the next level.
Section 7 ICE CAVE:
     Head south east and get a Paruami crystal if you want now follow the
north west
stairs up to the second level.  Walk along this ice bridge till the
stalactites of ice fill the
gaps (Use fire magic to help them fall, though it may not be necessary).
You might fall
off a few times so be patient.  Eventually you'll come to a statue with a
sword equip the
same sword and stand on the pedestal opposite from him to open the door.
Head through
the door and be sure to head to the south first chance you get. You'll find
a chest with an
Ice Lance here. Now head to the gondola and take it up to the next level.
Section 8 COLOSSEUM:
   This is a super easy stage that requires no guidance. There are no
treasures here
and only one boss fight so make sure you save the first chance you get.
Section9 FORGOTTEN ROAD:
    This is basically just like Sharuami's section 7 except there's a boss
fight (hint: use
ice attacks).  In order to get the first orb talk to the wounded guy in the
north-east
most section of the map for the other orb get the same way Sharuami did
(flying over
the lava). See Sharuami's section7 for more details. Sorry but I don't want
to waste my
time re-writing stuff.
Section 10 BEGINNING OF SKY TOWER:
     Save and hit the poles to the left and right of the statue to get Dark
Crystal giving
monsters.  Now go to the shop and change all your armor red.  Examine the
statue
and teleport to the next room.
     You'll be on a platform now all you have to do is ride the GONDOLA
(remember
the Boots!) to the other side.  Head north and fight the acid slime boss.
This will
change the color of the statue to blue. Teleport back to the first room by
examining the
statue.  Now change your equipment to blue and teleport again.
Section 11 LOWER SKY TOWER:
    Again this section is a lot like Sharuami's section 8.  Simply go up and
down the
stairs till you come to three colored lamps and a fourth glowing white lamp.
First turn
off all the lights.  Now turn on only the green light and head back to the
statue and
notice that it's finally lost it's color now teleport to the next level.
(NOTE: you might
have to turn on the white light then the green light I forget I think you'll
hear a sound
or something to let you know if you've beat the puzzle, but I'm not sure)
    But wait! If you take the elevator down to the lowest level and search
the passage
behind the elevator you'll find 5 mushrooms!
Section 12 UPPER SKY TOWER:
  Again this is basically just like Sharuami's section 9 except that the
bosses are
different.  See her section for tips!
Section 13 BAGURAGERA'S LAB:
   Get ready for a tough boss fight (the hardest outside of the Shadow tower
if you ask
me).  Save before entering the lab!  Now I recommend equipping the following
items
all at their highest level!
     WEAPON:  Blue Lance or Tail Blade (curved short sword)
     HELMET: Alter Face (Hockey mask) you got it in section 4.
     ARMOR: Golden Gatar (Leafs on the arms)
     BOOTS: Paldeo Boots (Boots with a separate hip section)
     ACCESSORY: Star Pendant (Gold medal with a rectangle on it)
   The boss is a bit tough so try and get close to him and let off a special
attack.  Next
recharge while hiding behind columns.
   When the fight is over you'll have to either switch to Sharuami (if you
haven't played
her yet) or continue on as Yuterald.  The choice is yours!
                     END OF WALKTROUGH
=================================================================9.
SHIRAMI'S WALKTHROUGH
     Since the game is easy to figure out (if you understand what's going
on)  I'm only
gonna post a brief walkthrough highlighting problem points in the game FOR
NOW!
Later I will give an in depth walkthrough. Please be patient.
REMEMBER TO REFFER TO THE MAP (upper right screen) FOR ALL DIRECTIONS
And of course  N= north, S= south, W= west, and E= east.
*Section 1, STARTING MAP:  Collect the bow off the bed (you can also heal
there),
collect the Pot off the ground in front of the house. Head S/E past the
flower and save
your game. Un-equip any weapons to move the statue.  Go N and talk to the
priestess
she'll tell you to go S/E into the cave to Salamando Hill.
* Section 2, SALAMANDO HILL: Talk to the guy in front of the grave twice .
You can
heal at the well. Go E to a lake and collect a helmet and a leaf from the
water. Watch out
for deep water!  Go back to the guy and give him the flower, He'll give you
a pendant.
The following is optional.
     Go N from the fountain past the temple and up the walkway. Jump off the
walkway search around the ground to find a pumpkin helmet.  Now, if you
want, walk
back and talk to the grave guy again and jump off the walkway again and
start
returning. When you see dog chase after it (back up over the walkway again)!
The dog
will lead you to the ghost of the old man's friend.  Fight it and get a
Parumila crystal
which you can sell for 1000.
*Section 3 STARTING MAP:  Go way N/W till your path is blocked by a wall
with three
busts. Put the pendant on the bust to open the wall. Talk to the priestess
and examine
the Statue to warp to the next map.
* Section 4 JINPI LAB 2F: Kill the squids get the claw from the chest. Go up
the S/W
stairs and enter as many rooms as you can on the way. Save at the save
point.  Follow
the trail of blood and talk to the guy. Also collect the 2F master key in a
room with beds.
Now go to the room S of the Save point. Fight the boss and talk to
Baguragera (The old
guy).  Now pull the lever and press the switch that looks like the Evergrace
switch.
Run as fast as you can to the stairs on the S/E of the map and follow them
north to a
gate previously un-openable.
     Now you'll be in a room with three giant test beakers. Stand on the
middle and
choose the following choices.  (I think these are right, if not tell me
please.)  Try 1:
Blue (1st choice). Try 2: Red (2nd choice). Try 3: Black (top choice).  In
the end you should
end up with a little string.  Go to the platform in the middle of the
dungeon and
teleport.  If the above answers are wrong keep trying again (re-enter the
room)! Never
choose the last choice as it is "do nothing".
*Section 5 JINPI LAB 1F:  All the puzzles here are simple.  There are four
element
rooms each one needs two elements to solve it. When entering the room use
the same
element as the room to remove the seal.  When inside the room use the
opposite
element to solve the room.  For instance in the ice room equip a weapon with
an ice
Parumila action and zap the seal and then press circle to get in.  Now
change to an
item that has a fire Parumila action to melt the ice.  A small piece of ice
should appear
next to a teleport platform. Go to the platform when all 4 elements are
there to warp.
Now you'll talk to Medina (the woman) and she'll tell you o go to the
westmost portion of
the last map you were on.
    Warp back and do as she says you'll find the warp in the underground
pathway to
the west teleport to the next room, then once again to the next level.
* Section 6 JINPI LAB B1F:   Here jump off the big platform to the east
where you see
a door below.  From here go straight to the save crystal.  Now go to the
shop and turn
all your armor blue and equip a bow. Now head back out to the rotating
platform and
get off on the next exit (south). You'll be in a room with a blue statue
with a bow.  If you
have all blue armor and a bow equipped you'll get a wing key.
     Now equip a weapon with a flame power.  Get on the platform and get off
at the
next stop (north.).  Press circle to get through the door.  Now get off at
the next north
exit and go to the next room.
     Here use your boots or fairy armor to hover over the poison till you
enter a room
with a mirror.  Look at the mirror and fight the 5 clones that come out of
it.  Proceed
to the next room and open the chest and get the other key.
     Now back track to the platform and get off at the next (west) stop.
Here use you
keys to open the door.  Now fight a boss and head to the next level.
* Section 7 THE FORGOTTEN ROAD:  Yow, it's hot here!  Run along the path
till you
reach a bridge (it's grey).  Go into a little cave to the south of crossing
the bridge.
There will be a monster here kill it and get the blue orb that it drops.
Now find the
save point north east of where you just where.  Equip the club and use crush
to break
through the rocks and get a better bow.  Save and head back across the
bridge to the
northwest. You'll jump off a small ledge.  Walk along the ledge till you see
a giant gray
tree growing out of the lava.  Look around and you'll see you can jump down
to your left
or right.  Jump off right and head south west to what looks like a dead end.
Here look
at the map icon and you'll see that you can hover the small patch of lava to
a chest that
has another orb.  Run along the path back to the bridge and follow the same
pattern
again except this time when you come to the tree head straight down the
path.
     You'll come to a  giant pool of lava.  Place the orbs on the little
shrines, this will
create a bridge across the lava.  Follow it till you come to a boss.
* Section 8 LOWER SKY TOWER:
     Walk to the stump of a statue.  By now the puzzles should be easy to
understand.
Simply unequip all items except for you leggings and stand in front of the
statue and
examine it.  Remember here's a good place to stock up on dark crystals.
     In the next room walk around on the platform till the birds appear.
Kill them to
make the platform lower.  Now head into the passage take the east turn and
you'll find
a chest with a mushroom.  You'll also see a statue with red boots and a bow.
Equip
these items and stand on the platform across from the statue this will open
door.  Now
head north to the boss area.  Kill the red giant and get the key.
     Head south west to the opened door in this room there's two chests.
The one with
poison around it has a healing potion. The other chest (which you need the
key to open)
has a torso in it.  Get it and go back to the statue.
    This time as you probably guessed you need to equip only leggings and
armor to
teleport.  In the next large area you'll find a save crystal.  Head up two
flights of stairs
till you run into one of those monsters with the big clubs.  Kill this
monster and wait
around in that area till more of his kind appear you'll notice that they
give you tons of
yellow Biriyana fruit which boosts your stats by 10!  (Note: The highest you
can boost a
stat to is 200) When you get sick of killing these guys go to the top of the
stairs.  When
they stop coming (I think they stop at about 9) you can reset their
appearance by
trekking down and going into the shop then coming back up again.   You'll
notice
there's an elevator behind the monsters.  Go down the elevator once and get
off.  You'll
be in a room with three lamps.  Turn them all off then touch them in the
following
order; RED-BLUE-GREEN.  This will open another door below you.  Hop back on
the
second elevator (behind the one you came on) and head down and fight the
dorky boss.
Get the item and head back to the statue.
* Section 9 UPPER SKY TOWER:
     Finally you warp (all items equipped) to the last dungeon.  To open the
doors kill
all the monsters.  If they stop appearing just stand in one place for a
while and they'll
come.   You then come to a hall with an elevator.  Ignore it for now and
contiune till
you come to another room (ice filled) with the same door trick as before.
After you open
the door you might want to go all the way back and save cause there's a boss
here.
BEWARE don't step into the ice below the boss it will kill you! The boss is
weak against
pole weapons and fire.  Use the long pole to poleverize him (heh heh).
Another easy
way to kill him is to use the most powerful special attack on the magic bow
(The one
you got in the fire cave). I killed him in 2 shots with this.
     Continue past him to a warp room.  Now DON'T go into the warp instead
backtrack to the elevator room and go up the elevator and into the room.
You'll talk to
Medina here and you'll also find a lot of mushrooms good for upgrading your
weapons!
Medina asks you to kill Baguragera (The old man) but spare Biruhorugo (The
winged
child) since he is really just being used by the old man.  Now go to the
warp and get out
of there.
* Section 10 BAGURAGERA'S LAB:
     Go and save! If you go through the doors and haven't yet completed
Yuterald's
scenario You'll be forced to switch to him! At the shop upgrade all your
items to top level
and buy all the potions you'll need.
                    END OF SHIRAMI'S WALKTHROUGH
=================================================================10. THE
FINAL BATTLE
     You should be able to figure out this one for yourself!
  There are 2 final bosses it doesn't matter which you choose for what
character!
  Be sure to save and re-equip before fighting the bosses!
If you're going crazy and can't beat a boss e-mail me and I'll give you a
little advice!
   After you beat the game you can try and start over with all your previous
stats and
weapons!
   GOOD LUCK!
=================================================================11. SECRETS
(SHADOW TOWER)
   Shadow Tower is a hidden dungeon that can be accessed at any save point
during the
game if you have the right item, the DARK CRYSTRAL (see items section and
long live
the Skexies!!). In case you're too lazy to look in the items section it's
the item that looks
just like the save crystal.  For each one of these you posses (you get them
randomly
from killing monsters, also see below) you can make one trip to the Shadow
Tower. In
order to do this you must go to a save crystal and select the items screen.
(First choose
the top option which will bring you to the Orange menu and then choose the
second
option to use an item).  Simply try and use the crystal and you'll be asked
if you want
to go to the Shadow Tower.
    There are no save points or shops in the Shadow Tower! Also all of the
monsters are
pretty tough! Luckily there are also no puzzles that require Japanese to
figure out. The
Shadow Tower is a long and perilous journey with confusing maps that would
be
impossible to describe in text so I'll leave the exploring to you! DO NOT
SEND ME E-
MAIL asking for help exploring the tower!  There are no puzzles just a big
confusing
maze. If on the other hand you'd like to make an ascii map and post it on
gamefaqs
you'd be very cool!
Here's what you need to know for the Shadow Tower!
GREEN CRYSTALS: Use these to return to the real world. If you do however
you'll have
to start at the beginning of the Shadow Tower (all bosses revived) next time
you enter!
BLUE BEAMS: These will teleport you between two points when you walk into
them.
BROKEN BRIDGES: Sometimes you'll kill a monster and then the screen will cut
to a
bridge link being laid.  Continue to kill this type of monster (8 to be
exact) in order to
fill in the bridge. Unfortunately you really don't know where the bridge is
but don't
worry you'll find it!
BIZARRE DOORS: If you enter a door that seems to lead to nowhere get ready
for a
boss fight!
COOL ITEMS: Kill as many monsters as you can!  Almost all of them will drop
some
sort of equipment otherwise unattainable.  Once you get an item from a
certain type of
monster they won't give you anything else.  Of course the items received are
different
for the two characters.
GETTING DARK CRYSTALS: If you need Dark Crystals try repeatedly hitting the
two
giant columns in the corner at the base of the Sky Tower next to (The room
with the
statue that you need to change equipment for. You know, right after the lava
level).
The little flying creatures that come out of here will drop lots of Dark
Crystals.  These
guys are hard to kill since they fly behind you, but there are a few tactics
you can use. I
like to get a long swinging weapon (pole or ice spear) and get into a corner
next to a
column. Just keep swinging and when the little monsters come out you'll kill
them!
Try this on both poles since the direction of your swing (right or left) and
the direction
the monster exits the columns must be the same in order for this to work.
If you have
another good method e-mail me and I'll post it!  Actually on virtually every
map there's
a spot or two that if you hit it long enough the little monsters will come
out.  Read the
following for another way to get crystals.
     Here's a little secret. you know in the walkthrough you were talking
about how
you can get the dark crystal. for Yuterald and Sharumi, they can both use
magic.....that's the easiest way because I found out that if you're trying
to use some kind
of weapon to kill the little thing, no matter if you're standing in the
corner or not, it's
always very touch to kill the little thing because basically, as soon as you
get a chance to
turn back, you'll get attack...another way, as I mentioned before, is to use
magic.....but
there are two different kinds of magic, one  direction, the other one is
surrounding
magic. for example. ice magic has a kind which you have the ice ball shoot
out to the
direction where you would like to attack, but the other kind is you are
surrounded by ice
and then the ice spread out around you. it kills the little puffy things
rather instantly.
(after numerous of tries, fire is the best element to kill the little puffy
things and get
some
treasure outta it. (Submitted by Amy Wang)
MY ADVICE: Don't get too greedy! The final boss is a tough cookie and it's
easy to get
knocked off and die!  Once you get a few new items and a lot of cash (or
Parumila
Crystals which sell for 1000 each) go back save, and upgrade.  Good luck and
try not to
get to frustrated!
     Also if you're getting low on potions take time to kill as many weak
monsters as
you can in order to get more potions and healing items. It goes without
saying that you
should be fully stocked with healing items before entering!
   Okay here's a list of the best equipment to have before meeting the final
boss. All
items should be upgraded to HIGH level. Especially the weapon!  Basically
make sure
you have your electrical defense up high. He has 25,000 HP so watch out!
NOTE: These items are for the final boss only! It's probably not best to
equip them
before hand as these items are aimed at boosting your electrical defense!
                   Yuterald:
Weapon : Pico-pico Hammer (toy hammer)
Helmet:  Akuzumu Gear (simple headband with a metal plate)
Armor: Volt Suit (long puffy sleeves, a vest and gloves )

for an ice enemy and so on.. Use your head
*Best Weapon: Pico-pico (toy) Hammer HIGH level.
             Look how much your Blunt weapon strength is!
*Runner-up: Super Sword (you get it after beating the Shadow tower
                     really it's the best weapon but it's hard to get)
*Best Yuterald Weapon:  Lance or Double Axe

=================================================================14. THANKS
    Hah, admit it, the only reason you're down here is to look for my e-mail
address so
you can write me with some question that I probably can't or won't answer
because the
info is already in the FAQ!  Oh well it was cheap of me to put my address
here anyway!
My e-mail address:  
pie...@email.com
  REMEMBER! IF YOU SEND ME A RUDE
E-MAIL I WILL TAKE YOUR E-MAIL ADDRESS AND USE IT TO SIGN YOU UP FOR
AS MUCH ANNOYING JUNK MAIL AS I CAN!!  And no, I don't have an ego just
because I write FAQs, I'm just tired of stupid morons writing you and
demanding
information like you owe them something.  But hey, as I said before most
people are
nice and I'm just a little grumpy now.
    Thanks to Gamefaqs and similar sites for doing what they do; providing
you with
FREE guides for your games. Be grateful and ask yourself what was the last
selfless
thing you did recently.  Also thanks to all the weird eccentric goofballs
who write FAQs
and keep gaming just that much cheaper!
   Super Thanks to my pet chinchilla and my lovely girlfriend for helping
with the FAQ.
Though really the Chinchilla just sat there looking cute and occasionally
tried to gnaw
on the analog sticks. But he's sooo cuttteeee, that I must forgive him.
Thanks to my
neighbors and friends for being swell people.
               POPOLOCROIS III winter of 2000 I'll see you then!!
