Characters

**Playable characters** are distinct player-controlled characters in Star Ocean 2. There are
12 possible characters to include in a party. Apart from brief periods in the
story where the player has only one character in their party (always the
originally-chosen protagonist), the number of characters in a single party
ranges from two to a maximum of eight. Only Claude C. Kenni and Rena Lanford are mandatory.

### Celine Jules

Jules briefly joins the party regardless of whether the player declines her
solicitation to venture into Cross Cave. After completing the mission in Cross
Cave, the player may then decide whether to add her as a permanent member of
the group. Because of the importance of spellcasting early in the game, it is
highly recommended that first-time players admit Celine Jules into their party.

### Protagonist-dependent Characters

Two of the characters can only be acquired if the player chose Claude or Rena at the start
of the game. Dias Flac will only join in a Rena-driven story; Leon D. S. Geeste
will only join a Claude-driven story. Because both Dias and Leon require
specific plotline choices by the player, and so it is entirely possible to
unintentionally miss the opportunity to add one.

### Secret Characters

Several characters are considered "secret" characters, and admitting one
character may permanently exclude the player from acquiring another. The player
may locate and admit Opera Vectra and Ernest Raviede, or the player may find
and admit Ashton Anchors. The player cannot admit Opera and Ashton, and one cannot find Ernest without Opera. Because
finding and admitting Opera requires more precisely timed Private Actions,
players more frequently acquire Ashton in their play-through or acquire no
secret character at all. While many experienced players tend to prefer Opera
over Ashton for combat, given her healing-abilities late in the game, there is
no objectively-better selection, and a full experience of the game is
impossible without playthroughs with each character.

### Preclusive Characters

Two other characters mutually exclude each other. One may admit either Precis Neumann or
Bowman Jean, neither, but not both.

### Chisato Madison and Noel Chandler

Two characters are acquired only in the second disc of the game. Chisato
Madison, who, like other secret characters, must be acquired through a
technical use of Private Actions, and Noel Chandler, who may be acquired by the
payer through the normal story progression.
Herlie

**Herlie** is a port city in the Kingdom of Cross. The city is located in the east of the continent and the closest seaport to the continent of Lacour. Herlie is the kingdom's chief trading partner with, and only direct access route to, the Kingdom of Lacour.

## General

Herlie is a mid-sized trading city in the continent of Cross, with a non-playable character "population" of 27. Unlike other towns, Herlie lacks a single city center. Instead, the city is decentralized, with buildings spread against the eastern seaboard. To the north, the city rises in elevation up a hill, crowned by Zand's Mansion. True to most of the continent, the city residents at the start of the game remain materially unaffected by the cataclysm of the Sorcery Globe, and go about their daily lives unchanged.

Unlike the rest of the continent, Herlie's power structure is largely subservient to a local gang leader, Zand. Zand and his followers profit from illegal shipping through the port, and rule the town through a combination of money and threats. Any citizen brave enough to oppose Zand are kidnapped, taken to Zand's Mansion, and then beaten and killed. Because no governmental body is observed by the party, and because not a single soldier of the King is ever found in Herlie, it has been presumed that any existing government is essentially moot, and that Zand is the *de facto* ruler.

Herlie is a trading city with Hilton, a port town in Lacour. Goods arrive by ship and are sent throughout Cross; in turn, exports from Cross are sent to Hilton.

After the destruction of Clik, Herlie is flooded by refugees - perhaps seeking a seaport environment similar to their old homes, or perhaps seeking transportation to Lacour. Herlie seems more capable of handling the influx of refugees than Cross or Mars.

## Story

> *For the previous story location, see Mars: Story. For the next location, see Hilton: Story.*
>
>

The party enters Herlie following the events of Mars and the kidnapped children. They easily find a ship ready to take them to Lacour. When the party is ready, they make their way to the port of Hilton.

The Book of Secrets

> "*This ancient volume outlines the secrets of Heraldic magic. It's a treasure that's never left us."* ~ Elder
>
>

**The Book of Secrets** (also **The Book of Secret Seals** and the **Book of Secret Signs**), is an ancient tome detailing the most powerful spells known to Heraldry Arts, and an underlying explanation for how Heraldry operates. The book is considered highly dangerous in the wrong hands, and is kept hidden by the elders of Mars.

The book is not acquired nor actually read by the party characters.

## Story

When Claude, Rena, and Celine visit the town of Mars, they learn that bandits had taken the children of Mars hostage. They demand 50,000 Fol and the book in return for the children. The elders, while justifiably distraught, consider giving up the book to be unthinkable, as such power in the hands of criminals would be disastrous for all of Expel.
Sorcery Globe

**Sorcery Globe** is the name given to an enormous Quadratic Sphere, consolidated Heraldic seals capable of enormous energy output. The Sorcery Globe was constructed by Dr. Lantis (as Indalecio) and the other nine wise men, and intentionally crashed into the planet Expel. From there, they use the Sorcery Globe to manipulate Expel's orbit, and as a platform to launch themselves through Energy Nede's force field.

## History

The Sorcery Globe was built an unknown number of years ago. If Dr. Lantis built the globe prior to being sealed in Eternity Space, as part of his plan to annihilate Nede, then it is on the order of four billion years old. On the other hand, if the Wise Men constructed it after escape from Eternity Space, then it is only several months old. Between the two possible scenarios, the former seems likelier, given the amount of time probably required to form a Quadratic Sphere of the Sorcery's Globe's size and power.

The Sorcery Globe was slammed into Expel from outer space three months before the start of Star Ocean 2, observed by the Expellians as a gigantic meteor. The impact was immediately devastating to the continent of El, where the sphere landed. The sphere gradually corrupted animals, spirits, and humans of Expel, twisting them into fell beasts, incubuses, and monsters. According to sages of Expel and Energy Nede, this corruption is due to the dark influence of Heraldic magic used for evil. However, in Star Ocean 3, researchers conclude this corruption was due to mutations induced by radiation.

Expellians interpreted the Sorcery Globe, and its subsequent corruption of nature, as a coming evil predicted by legend. The darkness of the Sorcery Globe, the myth said, would be defeated by a Hero of Light. Many rural folk on the continent of Cross believe Claude Kenni to be that hero.

As every Quadratic Sphere typically requires activation through a Quadratic Key, which the Ten Wise Men lacked, they were forced to slowly siphon their own Heraldic power into the sphere. A process they predicted would take at least one century. Unfortunately, Expel is one of the few planets in the galaxy that naturally forms Quadratic Keys. Even worse, Rena Lanford possesses a pendant made of "energy stone" (a Quadratic Key). By confronting the Ten Wise Men directly, the party unwittingly brings a necessary Quadratic Key into contact with the Sorcery Globe, and activate it.
"Might protect its wearer"

**"Might protect its wearer"** is a sporadically-occurring line in item descriptions that is, as best discerned, completely meaningless - despite hints by the game designers to the contrary. It is unknown why writers included this description. There are thirteen items with this description:

* Angel Hair
* Anklet - This item *does* provide a +3 bonus to AC.
* Beret
* Crown
* Golden Bracelet
* Golden Crown
* Green Bracelet
* Heavy Ring
* Necklace
* Ruby Earring
* Ruby Pendant
* Silver Barrette - This item also provides a +3 bonus to AC.
* Silver Ring - This item provides a measly +2 bonus to AC.

The item description of the Leaf Pendant seems to acknowledge the phrase "might protect its wearer." Unlike the above thirteen, the Leaf Pendant's description reads "always protects its wearer." It provides a generous 30% bonus to AC.
Quadratic Sphere

**Quadratic Sphere** (or **Quadrium Sphere**) is the name given to a material consolidation of Heraldic magic in physical space. When seals of Heraldic Arts are brought together, they naturally form into a sphere of immense potential power. A Quadratic Sphere's release of energy must be "detonated" through exposure to a Quadratic Key or another high energy source. Such energy will set off the chain reaction within the Heraldic seals, much like the detonation of a bomb.

Perhaps the largest, most powerful Quadratic Sphere ever created was the Sorcery Globe - made by the Ten Wise Men roughly four billion years ago. As the Ten Wise Men lacked a Quadratic Key, they used their own energy to initialize the sphere. Later, Rena Lanford unknowingly carries a Quadratic Key to the Ten Wise Men, enabling them to immediately unleash the power of the Sorcery Globe.

Quadratic Spheres are commonly used in all the Star Ocean games. The Federation, including the *Calnus*, uses Quadratic Spheres to power their ships as they travel at faster-than-light speeds. Federation ships detonate their ship's spheres through the energy released through matter-antimatter reactions.

Elder

**Elder** is the *de facto* leader of the village of Mars, attaining his position by virtue of age and reputation. Elder presides over the village council of elders, responsible for the duties traditionally assigned to mayors. Additionally, Elder is responsible for a private collection of Heraldic materials, including the Book of Exorcism and The Book of Secrets.

While Elder is political and community leader, he is not Mars' leader of Heraldic Arts; the role of Heraldic leadership seems to be allocated among spellcasting masters.

## Story

During the events of Star Ocean 2, Elder is first seen holding council over a ransom crisis. The children of Mars have been kidnapped by bandits, and the town is desperate for their return. Elder made the decision to hire the legendary mercenary, Dias Flac, to kill the miscreants and save the children.

Claude, Rena, and optionally Celine, arrive at Mars in the middle of talks between Elder and Dias. Elder is happy to allow the party to attempt to kill the bandits as well, but keeps his contract with Dias as well.

Mayor Regis

**Mayor Regis** (or **Regis**) is the leader of a small village Arlia in the south of the continent of Cross. He is the political leader of Arlia and generally responsible for its well-being. He has no known family. Regis is on familiar terms with Westa and Rena Lanford, the late Flac family, and most of Arlia. He is quite old and walks with a cane.

Regis seems personally acquainted with the mayor of Salva and his son, Alen, as well as with the King of Cross.

## Story

Mayor Regis is confronted by Rena and Westa early in the game, as the Lanfords suspect that Claude Kenni is the fabled Hero of Light. Regis lectures Claude and Rena on the Sorcery Globe, the new demons throughout Expel, and the prophesied coming of a savior. Claude rejects the title.

Soon after, Rena is kidnapped by the corrupted Alen-Tax. Regis exhorts Claude to find and rescue Rena, who does so. However, before leaving, Regis gives Claude a Long Sword named Colma.

Upon their return, Regis gives more information on the Sorcery Globe and the pressing need to investigate the meteor. The pair agree to investigate the globe and leave the next day.

Lacour Hope

**Lacour Hope** is a Heraldic cannon powered by an energy stone, created with the intention to halt the advance of the Sorcery Globe's fell beasts. It is devised and constructed by an assembly of Lacourian royal researchers, based out of the laboratories in Lacour Castle.

Because the weapon is powered by Heraldic signs and activated by energy stones, the Lacour Hope is classified as a Quadratic Sphere along with the Sorcery Globe (albeit, a much less powerful one), and the required energy stones are a Quadratic Key.

After an attack by Shin at sea, most of the Lacour Hope was damaged and rests at the bottom of the ocean between Lacour and El, while the energy stones were stolen by Shin and taken to Eluria Tower. In an interview with lead writer, Yoshiharu Gotanda, the developers confirmed that Shin's attack upon the Lacour Hope was not one of survival, but one to steal the necessary energy stones found inside the weapon, confirming that the energy stones are Quadratic Keys.

## Story

The party first encounters unidentifiable pieces of the Lacour Hope in the basement of Lacour Castle, but scientists throw the party out. Later, the King of Lacour reveals the nature of the project to the party, and the King and Leon D.S. Geeste (the project head) admit they require an energy stone to power the cannon. Leon and the party then delve into the Hoffman Ruins and secure such a stone.

Later, the Lacour Hope is brought to the Lacour Front Lines, protected by the King's guard. When the horde of enemies of El begin their advance across the ocean into Lacour, the cannon is unleashed. A single, overwhelming cannon fire is sufficient to destroy the entire horde. The army rejoices and the Lacour Hope is loaded aboard a ship, to be taken to El to wipe out the remaining monsters. The final status of the Lacour Hope is uncertain. Shin, right hand of the Ten Wise Men, ambushes the fleet. He destroys the fleet and the Lacour Hope sinks to the bottom of the sea.

Florice

**Florice Geeste** (in game: **Florice**) is a Lacourian researcher of the Lacour Hope project. She is notable as a woman of pure Fellpoolian descent, rare by this era. Florice is the wife of Murdoch, and mother of Leon D.S. Geeste.

Florice is first observed in the Laboratory of Lacour Castle, laboring with a team on part of the Lacour Hope. Late, she is seen bringing Leon to the Lacour battle arena to watch the Tournament of Arms to get his head out of science laboratories, the value of which is lost upon Leon. Later, Florice joins the ill-fated invasion of El, as she is crucial for the operation of the Lacour Hope.

Florice dies during the attack by Shin on the Lacourian fleet. Her death, along with Murdoch's, sharply depresses Leon, who must now face reality as an orphan. Leon realizes that without Claude, Rena, and the others, he is completely alone in Energy Nede.

Florice and Murdoch are returned to life during the restoration of Expel by the Nedian government. She remains in Lacour following the events of Star Ocean 2. In Leon's main ending, Florice and Murdoch raise Leon as a boy free from adult responsibilities. Presumably, with the threat of the Sorcery Globe eliminated, Florice no longer feels compelled to sacrifice Leon's childhood for the good of Expel.

Chris of Cross

**Chris of Cross** (also **Prince Clother**, **King Clother**) is a wanderer and former prince of the Kingdom of Cross. Chris's hereditary name is Clother, but he assumed the name Chris sometime shortly before the start of Star Ocean 2. He is son of the King of Cross. Chris's mother is unknown, his sister is Princess Rosalia. Chris was heir apparent to the throne of the Kingdom of Cross before spurning his birthright and going into hiding.

## Story

The party may learn of a missing prince, Chris, by talking to servants around Cross Castle, early in the game. Even with the looming threat of the Sorcery Globe, Chris's absence manages to create its own crisis, as the King is now without issue.

Depending on party composition, the party may encounter Chris in a variety of different Private Actions. A special ending between Celine and Chris is possible as well. Chris returns to the kingdom and re-assumes his hereditary title and name, Clother. His in-game name changes to Prince Clother. During the special ending, Prince Clother has become King Clother and Celine Jules is now his queen.

In another notable direction of Private Actions as Claude Kenni (if the party did not acquire Celine), Chris will give Claude a General's Ring. This is the only way to acquire the ring in the game.
Rune Full Moon

> *"Magical knuckles said to have been made from moonlight itself, containing the Heraldic powers of a full moon."*
>
>

**Rune Full Moon** is an uncommon pair of knuckles that may be wielded by Rena Lanford and Bowman Jean. It is considered the best weapon for Rena, and one of the best weapons for Bowman, in the first disc.

This weapon is made with Customize by Rena through Magical Gloves and Moonite.

## Obtaining the Knuckles

The normal route to acquire the Rune Full Moon is through Customize. This is a very labor-intensive customization; it is more cost-effective to find the knuckles through an item like Treasure Chest that randomly drops a gift upon opening. By opening a gift item, a player may find the Rune Full Moon extremely early in the game.

### Early-Game Strategies

*To pickpocket at the absolute earliest, see Pickpocket: Early-Game Strategies.*

Documented as early as 1999, clever strategies were developed by players to obtain the Rune Full Moon early by exploiting the aforementioned gift items. Contrary to popular opinion that Pickpocket is the fastest method to obtain the knuckles, the fastest method is through Art, as the formidably-expensive Bandit's Glove is not required and multiple gift items may be used, maximizing one's chances that a Rune Full Moon will drop.

* **Pickpocket:** The oldest, and most frequently-used strategy. After learning Pickpocket, the player proceeds to Mars and pickpockets Treasure Chest from Old Man. The player then opens Treasure Chest and restarts until a Marvel Sword appears.
* **Art:** The player requires a character with the Talent Sense of Design, and to level up the skills Esthetic Sense and Sketching. Celine Jules starts at level five Esthetic Sense and is ideal; Sketching may be purchased in the Technique 1 skill set at *Skillie* in Cross. The player then purchases Magical Clay at *The Grasping Hand* in Herlie to make Treasure Chest, Fill-up, or Fountain Card items. The player then opens the items and restarts until a Rune Full Moon appears.

**Mud Boots** are special boots given by Elder of Mars during the sidequest through the Heraldry Forest. The boots are quest-specific, mandatory, and cannot be sold; yet they are classified as a normal item, and not a Precious Item.

Mud Boots may be equipped by all characters.

When equipped by any team member, the Mud Boots allow the entire party to traverse the deep marsh of the Heraldry Forest.

Lacour Castle

**Lacour Castle** is a castle in the city of Lacour, built an unknown number of years ago to house the King of Lacour and to consolidate political power in a single capital. It is not the center of Lacour's military power, as the majority of the King's host is stationed at the Lacour Front Line.

Lacour Castle and the surrounding city are built to support an enormous influx of visitors for the Lacour Tournament of Arms, hosted every year.

## General

Since the fall of the continent of El, Lacour Castle is the largest castle on the planet Expel, and the second largest building after Eluria Tower. To the west and south of the castle is the city of Lacour, while mountains rest behind the castle, separating it from the ocean. The castle houses the only known pureblooded Fellpoolians in Expel at the time of Star Ocean 2.

At the pinnacle of the castle rests the Throne Room, peripheral royal chambers, and council rooms. From there the King of Lacour exercises political and military control over the kingdom. Because the Kingdom of El lies in ruin and the faraway Kingdom of Cross is much weaker than its neighbors, Lacour Castle is seen as the last meaningful defense against Sorcery Globe.

The first and second castle floors are dedicated to the Lacour Tournament of Arms. The castle entryway becomes a registration desk, and the arena opens to participating fighters and spectators alike. Leading up to and on the day of the tournament, the castle is swarmed by visitors, eager to watch the games.

The castle maintains an impressive science facility on the subterranean floors, responsible for research into a Heraldric weapon capable of turning the tide of battle against the Sorcery Globe's demons and corrupted beasts. The facilities include a main library, laboratory, and research rooms. Brightest among the numerous researchers is the prodigy, Leon D.S. Geeste, who is the lead scientist on the Lacour Hope project.

## Acquirable Items

### Notable Pickpockets

Tears of the King

**Tears of the King** are tears shed by the king of demons, Xine, upon defeat in battle. The tears are required in order to perform an exorcism on any demon of Expel. As leader of all natural demonic spirits of Expel (though not those created through the Sorcery Globe), Xine's tears hold authoritative power. Demons must obey the will of the one who holds them.

## Story

Following the directions of the Book of Exorcism, the party visits Xine's throne at the peak of Lasguss Mountain, a bird's nest, to acquire a tear of the king and finish the exorcism of Gyoro and Ururun from Ashton Anchors. After battle, the group gives the item to Ashton but he admits that he has grown attached to the dragons, and does not perform the final rites. Thus the Tears of the King go unused.
Sole and Fruit Sauce

> *"A dish of fresh flounder steamed and served with a delicate orange sauce."*
>
>

**Sole and Fruit Sauce** is a restorative food, made from Seafood using the Cooking Specialty. While the game describes the fish as flounder, generally speaking, the dish is cooked sole fish, resting in a plate of sauce made of unspecified fruits. It shares the same in-game model with Sole and Wine Sauce.

As Seafood can produce foods of superior HP restoration, Sole and Fruit Sauce is considered a low-value result, acceptable during early- and mid- game play when a player has not perfected Cooking. Its restorative strength is increased by 1% per each level of Good Eye (up to 32% HP).

Attack Earring

> *"A mysterious earring that for some reason makes monsters suddenly show up while worn."*
>
>

**Attack Earring** is an accessory made through Metalwork with Diamond by Claude, Celine, Opera, Dias, Leon, Precis, Bowman, and Chisato. The Attack Earring increases the enemy encounter rate, though the precise rate of increase has not yet been quantified.

Not listed by the item's stat description, the Attack Earring raises the wearer's ATK by 20.

The Attack Earring may be equipped only by Celine. However, Celine does not need to be in the player's active party for the earring to effectively raise the enemy encounter rate.

**Sake Lees Pickles** is a restorative food, made from Grain and Vegetables using the Master Chef Super Specialty. To make Sake Lees Pickles, cucumbers and eggplant are pickled in the lees (deposits of dead yeast cells) left over from fermenting sake.
