Once outside there will be a short dialogue about the smog. After going through the weapon/armor shop go east for an Exploration Node (I believe this can be missed). Follow him through town and listen to his instructions. You should be okay as long as you heal up when necessary.Īfter the battle, move on. On the first few turns use Expose Weakness and Debilitate/Regenerate. Heal up and prepare for the game's first boss.Īgain, I am assuming you are playing in hard mode, so don't underestimate this first boss, easy as it is. Now go north and west to find Ether, Crystal Water and Elixir. To the left you will find two iron ores, the Five of Spades, and Arcane Dust. Head south through the green door, and hit the lever. Open the chests for Crystal Water, Ginger Ale and Red Delicious. Go up the north ladder and east to the next area. Equip it on Claret as she will likely have the most threat. Open the chests for a Rain of Rejuvenation, 20G, Ether, and a Diamond Ring. Head east through the blue door and get the Exploration Node. Hit the green switch and open the chest for a +1 Metal Ingot (save this for later). Go up the ladder to the east, hit the blue switch and go back down the ladder. Ignore the ladder to the north for now and head down the stairs to the west. Attach the Ruby to it and move back to the red door that blocked the path earlier. It is up to you whether you save your materials for later. If you want, return to the forge and create a highest quality tier 1 1-handed gun for Claret. To the west are three iron ores and an emerald. Go through the door and north for the Red button. The chests nearby contain two Crystal Waters. Go east to a double door where the path splits (a red door blocks the way north). Continue along this path to reach a big chest with Sapphire Bracers.

Continue south to a yellow button and an Exploration Node. Go south and open the chests for two Medical Herbs. Don't craft anything right now (press escape). Get the iron ore, and then go interact with the forge. Fight every monster you see in this dungeon. In the next room, go right and open the wooden chests and the red one for two Medical Herbs, a Miracle Herb, a Brach of Life, and a Ruby (an augment). After the scene, talk to the prisoners if you want then talk to Corwin a couple times to advance the story. Somehow the robot is in the cell with you. Try to get Sullivan to do the finishing blows as this generates more threat, and he doesn't do enough damage to keep his threat above Claret's. Make sure Sullivan has a higher threat than Claret or you are asking for her to die (especially in hard mode). As long as Sullivan has higher threat, guard with him. There is an auto save just before the fight so you can reload there if necessary.Īttack with Claret and guard with Sullivan on the first turn. Make sure to win with both characters alive or you will miss out on experience. Talk to the cute robot and go east for a scene and a battle. If you have not done so yet, switch to hard mode for better experience. The fight here ends when you reach a certain hp.Īfter the fight, go back to the workshop. Talk to the man nearby, stand on the white glowing area (called an Exploration Node), and move on to the south.įor now, most of the area is blocked off, so go through the door to the south, buy the item and go outside. Afterwards, open the chest, equip the weapons and go through the south door. After the opening scene, move west for another scene. Talk to people throughout the game, as some of them give items or useful information. I wish the best of luck to you on this journey. There are some good items to be had here, and an achievement. Lastly, there is content in this game that can be missed, namely the section of the game when Alda tells her story.

Make sure you do everything before that last part of the game. Thus make a point that you must save money if you want to do the “last leg” on hard mode. So win every fight with every character alive. In this game you cannot grind there is a set of monsters and exploration points which limit the amount of experience that can be gained. Just remember to save yourself some money by using extra materials for armor, and to save the best augments for your final set of armor. But I will mostly leave what you do with your gear up to you. I will also refer to other sections within the walkthrough.įor the beginning of the game I will help with gear until a certain point. But for most of the game, if you want boss trophies and other achievements, play on hard mode. I will ask you to switch to other difficulty modes for achievements.

Just don't' skip anything and you will be golden. If you play the game in a way where you do everything, it isn't particularly difficult. Generally, this guide will assume you are playing on hard mode.
