Demon Souls Game Guide and FAQ

This FAQ is meant to give all those who imported this game
a hand if they get stuck. I found all the dungeons and puzzles to be very simple
and straightforward. So
I will leave most dungeon exploration and puzzle solving
to you. If any see anything i've missed or has a better
way to do something please let me know and I will add it. Keep in mind I only
can read the menus and whatever is in Katakana. I have
no idea what is going on in the story and I don't know many names of things,
most towns, and people. One thing I hate about a lot of FAQS is that they cause
a lot of people to not play, but just coast through games. I will go out on a
limb and assume if you are importing this, you at least moderately enjoy RPGs.
So, EXPLORE, take the time to look first. Then, if all else fails, check here.

The import version has mod chip protection, so use the following code:

thanks to Darklore for the code<

d01ce422 1040
801ce422 1000

All the menus and such are icon based so they are pretty self explanatory
as is the battle system.

Switching Party Members

you can use all 6 of your party members at a time in battle, but only 3 can act
on a single turn. The other 3 can be switched in at any time simply by selecting
them over who you want replaced. Characters not in use will restore AP, fall
asleep, or chip in with support attacks and healing spells(occasionally).

Combo System(BIG THANKS TO SCYTHE99)

You can link different skills and spells together to get new spells and do more
damage. For example you can have Ryu cast Burn(learned from a Red Goo)
then have Nina cast Shiga to produce a new spell that does more damage and hits
every enemy. The more enemies you fight, the more damage and hits you can do.
Example: (this one is later in the game but works very well)
Cast Ursula's 6AP fire spell then Nina's 6AP Wind spell against 4 enemies for 8
hits(4 each) and the Domega spell. Combos are key when the bosses actually get
tougher later. Experiment and see what you can come up with. The best combo I
have managed is
Seven Senses+ Refaron+ Refaron for 72 hits. Late in the game when you have to do
insanely high combos to get skills from Masters, go to the place Ryu freaked out
and fight the Mokujin. They always come in groups of 6 and heal for 15000 after
every turn. Cool thing is they don't attack.

Dragon forms and spells
As in all Breath of Fire games our hero will be able to change into a dragon.
Both Ryu and Fou Lu will have a form available from very early on. Eventually
you will gain more(both automatically and by finding genes). Fou Lu has 2 and
Ryu has four.
Dragon spells are gained by finding and talking to the various Dragons found
throughout the world. Some of them are obvious, some aren't. I will tell you
where they are as you can get them. I'm not going to dp a list though.

A quick mention about the Fou Lu/Ryu connection
While playing as Fou Lu, you may want to ignore all the chests and things you
can find. Eventually Ryu and the gang will have access to the areas that Fou Lu
has been. They are better off with the items than Fou Lu is.

Walkthrough

The game will start with scenes of Nina and Cray on a ship in the desert.

They are looking for Ninas' sister Elina. They will be unceremoniously dumped by
a giant sand dragon and they will wreck. Cray will give Nina a sword and tell
her to head to some town.
When you leave the area you will be on the world map. Walk to the first !
area. Here you will see an old man running off and a giant monster will appear.
He'll disappear and leave (in typical Breath of Fire fashion..) an ass naked Ryu
behind. The two will exchange pleasantries and join up. Ryu will jack some of
the old guys clothes and they'll be off. Head out and you will be able to
advance to the first dungeon.
This area is very simple with one treasure. The combat is very simple so
gain a few levels for level 1 Ryu. Eventually you will camp for the night.
The scene will switch to our other main character Fou Lu. After some
chatter you will gain control of him and his 64 levels(bad-ass.) Look around for
an item and head out. Eventually you will run into a couple soldiers and a guy
with a huge red nose. Fou Lu will call the beast from earlier and unleashes some
megaton fireworks on them.(Ryu shudders...).
When you regain control head out to the map. In the next area you will encounter
the first boss.
Boss: Kamu(?)
Change into a dragon and unload, easy.
You will be surrounded by soldiers but will get away. You will be an easy maze
with one item. You'll be caught at the end.
Back to Ryu and Nina. Leave the area and head to the town. Do some
shopping, do RPG town stuff. Be sure to get some Tonics and Poison cures (12 z
item). Head to the bar. The frog guy will be your first opportunity to trade
gems. I have no damn clue what significance this has besides getting a master
later, you should do it though, with everyone you find! Talk to the hungry guy
at the counter to get in a mini game. I didn't get at all. You have to use the
buttons to feed him. It seemed easy. You get something when you succeed. Head
out and talk to Nina and she will rejoin.
Now this next part I have no clue what goes on. Go talk to the guy across from
the inn, pick all options. Make sure you have at least 123 zenny and talk to him
again. In the bizarre minigame give him precisely 123 zenny and you'll get the
info you need, plus 1000 game points and an item. He'll tell you about some
item. Leave town and keep entering ? spots until you find one with a guy and a
black ostrich/chocobo thing. He'll give you the item. You can open the first
fishing spot by entering ? in this area also. Head back to the bar and go behind
the counter. The barkeep will let you past. After a short event you can go to a
new area.
In this area you will have to push the captains wheel to get around
outside. Work your way to an old man. You will have to pay him to dig. 50z to
dig blind, 100z to have his dog sniff out items. When you've found the gear
thing dig for other stuff all you want then head back to the town.
In the bar there will be an event with some soldiers and a very cracked
out guy(name anyone?). Nina will confront him and will be forced into a fight.
Boss: Shyo(?)
Use Shiga and heal if needed. Not hard.

When you're back on the world map head east to ? area. After the event

you'll have a new town to go to.
Talk the old monkey in the back then head into the northernmost house and
talk to the guy on the left. Pick the bottom option twice. Talk to all then
leave town and re-enter(easier way?anybody?) Talk to him again and Master will
show up. After talking he will join you. He's powerful but misses alot. Make
sure you have a few poison cures and then leave from where Master came from to
get to your next area.
You'll need to use the party separately to get around here. You'll have to
face a boss in the end.
Boss: Skull Fish Thing
Your first full party boss can do some damage and can poison everyone at
once. Change Ryu into his form and use Masters' punch to do damage. Use Nina as
medic and have her cast Shiga. He'll go down quick.
Afterwards head out and you'll be on the world map. Move on to the crash area.
After the tearful reunion with Cray and intros and the recap is told you
will find yourself in a dungeon with Cray and without Master. I like Cray he
does a lot of damage and has some good spells. Whilst exploring be sure to check
the shelves for some little items. When you get to the throne room you'll have
to sneak behind the curtain. You will then be.. back at camp??
Hmmm....
Go to the new area east of Masters town. Here you will find Rawulf the
first master. Apprentice whomever you wish. His requirements are combo hits.
First 5 then 10 and so on.(THANKS AGAIN TO SCYTHE99). Continue on.
In the next area go past the locked gate and find a guy who looks like
he's weaving baskets. Talk to him then the guys near him to get the key to the
gate. Activate the switch and a new path will open. Take it. Advance forward
until you get to the next switch. It no work. A woman will come in and tell you
how to do it. I smell a minigame! Rotate your controller until the woman gets an
! abovew her head. Hit circle and voila! Keep going and you'll end up back at
the weaver guy. Something bad brews, and you'll get the missing part for the
empty switch you just passed. Activate the damn thing to avoid demise.
In the next area there will be an event with a guy with a sitar and a big
ass serpent. Pay 100z to hear a bad song or 50 for something else.
The next town is full of traps so beware. Behind the first row of houses
is a monster in a box that's scores you a new fist for Master. Next to the
parrots house is a dog house, where you can fight an enemy. Fall in the hole
behind the parrots' house. You can climb a ladder to avoid the cage trap so you
can talk top the bird. Talk to him and pick first, second, third, and fourth
option or second, third, fourth options to get done what you need to. (I lost my
notes for this area so I don't remember exactly what it was you had to do with
the parrot.)Finish your town stuff and head to next area.
Talk to the guy to get an item (Ringo?). Use Master to bonk the tree to
get more of them. In the next portion there are a bunch of annoying and funny
traps. Underground you can get a few items if you fall right. Work your way
through until you reach a boss.
Boss: Memen?
He uses quake to damage everyone and have a tough physical attack.
Use the Dragon form and switch between Nina and Master. Try to get some combos.
Head back to parrot town.
After the event there you will be back to Fou Lu.
He will wake up in a small hut with a guy who looks like Bunyan from
Breath Of Fire 3. After some small chat you'll be back to Ryu.
You can now enter the cave in Parrot Town that was blocked by guard
before. Advance and so on and so forth.
In the next town talk to the woman chasing the dog-boy to get into a game
of tag with the little bastard. Chase him around the perimeter to catch his ass.
After the event you will have to find 4 or 5 kids. They are all easy except one.
He is in one of the blind stairways. Rotate the camera to see him. Go back to
the orphanage to find out the Dog kid from before has gone into that stairwell
you couldn't. (I would leave his troublemaking ass there...)
NEW INFORMATION NEW INFORMATION NEW INFORMATION
It turns out that to get in here, you have to wait for a woman with a water jug
to come over and talk to him. It will give you a chance to get in. When I
played, she just happened to be there when I went to go in.
You know what to do. Search the bookcases for items. Pass by the cell he's in
and go upstairs. Go into the farther cell and step on the boards. Found him.
After the event go and talk to the Zangief looking guy. He'll challenge you.(his
name is Kahn i think.) Kick his teeth in. After the event Nina will stay behind.
Head out and enter the first ? area. Event.
Chase the guy to next area. You will have to use the barrels to block him off.
Catch him! He'll become a master afterwards. He requires you to have X# of items
in your inventory.
Back to town with you! Go talk to Nina and the smoking Captain. After events a
new town will open. Talk to the human near entrance. There will be a mini game
with barrels and pottery. Have Cray push the pottery onto spaces on left side
and push the barrels onto the right. Use Master to break the discolored barrels.
After you succeed you get... another game. Pick up the crates in front of Cray
and place them on spaces. Do well enough and Nina and Cap'n will show up. He'll
give you all, ahem, VIP passes for your trip on his vessel.
Fou Lu. You have control of him. Head down the path. You will see red nose
and have to fight a boss
Boss: ???
Change and hammer him. He can do some damage but not much.
A chase ensues where Fou Lu gets his ass shot up.
Back to Ryu. After your stellar boat ride leave to the left. Shop, talk,
etc. Be sure to buy some Hi-Tonics that heal 800 hp. They are the 2nd choice for
100z. Go up stairs and enter the dungeon. Use elevators and stairs to get
around. On the 4th floor exit, and keep going up. The insane man from earlier
will show up. He'll summon...
Boss: ???
Change Ryu and go for 3 hit combos. They seem to turn him around so you
can do more damage. Ryu Dragon Fire spell with Nina's Shiga will suffice for
that.
After the battle you will jump into the portal and teleport away.
Take the elevators down and head for next town.
You can only shop and rest here. You can't pass the giant cannon.
In the dungeon talk to the little guy when you get to him and pick first
option to get elevator. When you get to water jump in it. You'll be in a
familiar place.
Rest and save. The area is unchanged. Do what you did before. But instead
of waking up in camp, your ass is busted!
After an event with Cray and a guy with a beard you will regain control of
the party. When you try to leave Scias will join. He's badass(for now). Try to
go into the castle. You'll get booted. Leave town and head south.(you can't do
anything in the northern town yet but shop.)
Here you can learn Double Hit from the Nut Troop, be sure to get it. It
combos well for now. Take the left path and Nina will be shrunk. Master will
laugh until a bird snatches Nina. Look for her until some Fairies appear. Master
will use his Super-Fist during this humorous event. You will see Nina in a bird
nest. Have Master hit trees until you find the one shes in. You'll control Nina
in another cute and funny event. Food for you!:-)
MiniBoss: Mommy Bird
Don't attack. Just defend and she will run off. You get 100 game points
and a fishing rod.
Climb on down and you'll be restored to size. Leave and to the next town.
This appears to be Crays hometown. Go talk to the elders in their house.
Get the item in their basement and go talk to our old friend Kahn on the roof.
When you try to leave he'll attack again.
Boss: KAHN RETURNS!
He's still a joke.
After the battle his wife will become a master. Her requirements are combo
damage. 1000, 3000,10000, etc. Talk to the girl near the floating snail for a
great event. Head out to the new area.
!!!NEW INFORMATION, MANY CORRECTIONS!!!!!
This area can be very frustrating if you don't know where to go. It's very
similar to BoF3s' Desert of Death or Despair. (MANY MORE THANKS TO SCYTHE99 FOR
HIS ADVICE AND HELP. MOST OF THIS BELONGS TO HIM)All this information and
directions are confirmed now. Sorry for the confusion.
What you want to do is go straight until you see a bird. Follow that bird until
you get to a big rock with white lines on it. For now turn and go NORTHWEST. You
will end up at a woman's hut. There will be a few events. Talk to the lady and
choose all three options to get filled in. From here head back and talk to the
three little elders in Crays' town. Leave and go back to the area you rode the
snail in. Head back to the white rock. This time go South, towards the volcano.
Dungeon. In the third room the ground will change every time you exit from
battle. So use this to get around. On the second level the door to the left has
an item, to the right the exit. Enter the house and speak with the Blacksmith.
Take the ladder down, get the chest and leave the area.
Go to the Fairie Woods. Find the Fairies. you'll get knocked out and will
wake up in their village. Agree to help them. Examine the ZZZZ spots to get
into fights. After you find them all a boss will emerge.
Boss: Monme?
He can hurt you. He'll get smaller as you damage him. Use your best
combos.
After you beat him you'll get an item. Take it back to the guy in the Volcano.
He'll make something out of it(a sword that sucks.)
Go back to the castle. You'll get booted after some events. Go to the
house you got Scias in. Go upstairs and rest.
..Quick scene of Fou Lu...
Sneak into the castle. Challenge the guard on the left. You have to beat
him in one turn or you'll be caught. Go up the stairs and beat all the guards.
At the top Cray will finally rejoin. Leave and go to the womans hut.
After the event go to the Grasslands place. To the White Rock, then west.
You'll arrive at an ancient place. Put the item you got from the woman on the
pedestal. There will be a straightforward maze then a switch puzzle.
Use Cray to push the levers. Pretty easy. The north door houses a chest, west
door is the exit. Talk to the guy you see for an item. Head to the new area.
In the second screen stepping on the discolored boards will cause the
snakes to move. Use them to get around.
There will be 2 new areas. To the right there will be a house with a
fairie. Return to her after you start your Fairie Village and she becomes a
master. Head to the northern area. Event in camp. You can now begin your Fairie
Village.
Move on to Wyndia. Here you are going to want ot put Nina in the lead to
talk to people. In the windmill you will find Momo from BoF3. She will become a
master. Apprentice whomever. I have no idea what her requirements are. Take the
elevator up to the castle. Explore it thouroughly for stuff. Talk to the guy
with the long nose to trigger the next event. After talking to the king leave
Wyndia and head to the new area.
Do your dungeon thing. Be sure to talk to the guy to the left on the first
screen. Make your way to the old ladies' house. After the event leave for
another event in camp. Scias? Where are you?
A new fishing area will open up along with a new area. You can't do
anything there yet. Return to Wyndia and speak with the king. You will now have
access to the area in the left tower basement that you didn't before.
Simple. Avoid the windmill wind or you'll be pushed back. When you get to the
area wit multiple blowing fans. Grab the ocarina at the bottom and leave. There
will be a short event with some old guys and Scias. Damn him!!!
Go to the previously useless area. At the first cross section go right for
the Homing Bomb weapon for Master. Awesome. He won't miss with this. Head left
and out. Jump when the wind blows to go up. Exit out the door on the second
level and take stairs around. On the top platform jump up and out. Be careful
not to thwack your head. Use the same methods in next area. Just keep going up.
On the roof you'll be caught by the old men from earlier.
Damn Scias!!!
Boss: Three Bastards
They are more annoying than hard. The one can put you to sleep so take him
out first. More? Hey look who's back. I guess maybe he's not so bad....
Boss: Same as before...
Same as before but with Scias as a guest you can't control. Just be
careful not to kill him.
Afterwards there will be a BEAUTIFUL event with dragons and such.
New dungeon. Use Cray to push to snowballs to unblock and create new
paths. On to the next town.
All kids? Hmmm. Head to the rightmost house for a cool event. Afterwards
you have to find Master to enter his mind(?). Work your way up to the lightning
and pillars area. Talk to the woman in the the diamond than examine a pillar to
instigate a boss fight.
Bosses: Four Pillars
Each of them are immune to the element their colors represent.
RED=fire
GREEN=air
BLUE=water
GREY=earth
plan your strategy around this. Combo, combo. be careful not to let your
HP get to low. Take out one at a time for the best results.
After the battle head back out.
Back to Fou Lu. Try to exit the town. There will be an event with the
woman from earlier. Back to Ryu, FouLu gets mentioned, back to Fou Lu, there
will be a second event with the woman. Head to the direction the noise came
from. At the end of the short path there will be a boss.
Boss: Vavan(?)
Change and use your first skill to fry him.
Head back to the village for your praise.
Back to Ryu+friends. Head to the old womans house again. Pick the top
option to enter another dungeon in Master's mind.
Work your way to the woman from before. Isn't she living well? Talk to
everyone and then leave. Afterwards leave the town.
In the next area Master will try to rejoin but will be asked to stay
behind. Head to the next dungeon.
Here when you get to the room with 2 doors take the lower door. Go
activate the eye switch and book out. You have until the timer runs out to make
it to the upper door and across the pillars. There are some items in the room
behind the lower doors. Jump across and take the upper door to get out.
As Fou Lu head to town exit after the small event head out to the dungeon
outside the town.
Do your thing, get the dragon gene , at the end is a
Boss: ??
Change, yadda, yadda. You might need to heal but not likely.
Afterwards leave. (Of course.) There will be a short event at the exit.
There will then be an event with Ryu and all the dragons of the world.
When you have Fou Lu again head home. After the events, escape through the
stove.
More events, Ryu gets a new Dragon Form and spell(YAY!), finally. Leave
the area.
You will now be back in the village with Master. The insane guy will
return and do bad stuff. Master will fight some fights by himself. Be sure to
have the Homing Bomb. After the sad events you know where to go.
Leave and go north. Explore, leave, rest, event. When you wake up you will
have your meeting with Ursula. She will mention Fou Lu and then Insane Guy will
return. There will be a boss
Boss:Aito(?)
You have to lose this battle. When you do sit back and watch the
fireworks.
As FouLu, head to next area. There will be 2 straightforward dungeons that
are mind-bogglingly easy. There will be a weird event afterwards ivolving men
with hoods. WTF?
Go back to the old ladies' house then talk to Master. VOILA! He will back
and full of beans. He rejoins (with new personality in tow) and you will also be
able to use Ursula now. She has some good spells and can do decent damage with a
2-hit gun. Talk to the Elder here before leaving and she will become a
master.(you had to have met 40 different enemies as well...)
Onward ho! Another simple dungeon with a fun rafting mini-game. Head to
the town you visited earlier(Shyuto?).
Now would be a good time to go and get skill from the masters in the area
if you qualify.
Before heading to Shyuto, go back to the, shudder, Snail Riding
grasslands. Walk around aimlessly, until you find a glowing bird. Follow him to
the Grass dragon spell. It takes a long time, but it's the best healing spell in
the game.
Head to the bar in Shyuto. Talk to the frog-guy, exit and the Smoking
Captain will return. Talk to him to get an item. Take the item back to the frog-
guy. You will now have another mini-game involving a speedboat. Just head to the
end. When you reach the other side talk to the guy who looks like/is the master
from the barrel cave. Then try to use the teleporter. When you can't head back
to the ship. Talk to the guy, agree to do whatever he asks, then pick the top
option (if you choose the third option you will be on the world map, you can now
return to some of your old masters, also head to where you first met the smoking
captain, he will also become a master) Head to the end of the course. After the
event you get an item.
Before moving on, keep entering the sand cruiser courses until you get one
that seems to have an area you can't reach. Use the sand dunes to jump to it,
and the Desert Dragon spell. Then, on the world map, go back to where you saw
the guy with the sitar way back. You get a spell here, also. The Mud Dragon
Now, move on to the new area.
Easy, don't miss the dragon gene that's here.
When you reach the next town the path will be blocked. After vain attempts
to get through you will have to have Cray push the carts to jump on. Push the
one between the house and chest and jump off the roof to get that, then use the
3 carts on the other side to jump up and over the gate. Why don't they chase or
stop you??
Before hitting the next town, enter ? spots until you find one that opens
a new area. Go there to get the Tree Dragon summon.
In the next town do your town stuff. Go talk to the sailors in striped
shirts in the bar in the basement of the bar. Pick the top option when asked a
question. Leave town.
Head to the next dungeon. Move until you get to two caves. Enter the
lower. When you get to the room with 2 doors, the right leads to an item, the
left to a crystal. Head back to the small pond near the beginning of this cave.
Throw the crystal and go take the upper cave from earlier.
Go through the events. They net you a key item. Return to the bar with the
sailors. There will be a short event and >GASP!< Kahn returns! Sort of. After he
takes himself out there will be a short mini-game. You have to jump on the guys
head then push him in the back to knock him off the end. Use circle to jump and
square to run. Talk to captain.
In the boat Nina and Ursula will have a few battles, nothing major. Ewww,
what are those things? When Ryu and Co. wake up from their cozy night in the inn
go talk to the captain. There will be a short event where Ursula drops her
pants.(???WHA??)
On the ship you will be greeted by some familiar music. Explore, talk, go
to where Ursula+ Nina Spent the night. There will be some noise, run to the
deck. Well,well,well. Kahn returns! Again! For a total joke he has one of the
greatest entrances ever. Period.
Boss: Kahn-Take 3
He can poison everyone and can do a ton of damage to everyone. Combo
Ursula's Fire and Nina Wind spells and have Ryu change into Kaiser. Down again!
Until next time,old friend.
Go onto the deck and talk to everyone. You will eventually have access to
another dungeon- the ruins of an old ship. AKA Volcano Island.
Use the blue flame as guide. When it turns red you are close to a broken
part. You'll fall to an area with some chattering skulls. Use the ladder to go
back up. When you get to the cave part there will be a boss.
Boss: Rehash of one from earlier
Again, simple, use your best combos. Fire does good damage. He can't do
that much to you.
Return to the ship and rest. When you wake up you'll arrive in Reef.
Explore, shop, if you have 3000 fishing points the frog guy fishing will
become a master. If you qualify for him, apprentice someone and head back to the
town you had to find the orphans and talk to the sister in the orphanage. She
will now be a master. When you're done leave.
In the next area, there will be a little red puffy thing. Feed it fish
until it seems satisfied.(very important)Leave to the right and move on.
Easy area.(they pretty much all are, though...)
In the next towns you will be greeted by a rain of arrows, until the red
thing you fed comes to help you. After the events, go talk to the blue puff that
is sick. Go talk to the human and red puff. Leave and go back to Reef. Talk to
everyone. One of them will reveal the location of the medicine.
Talk to the captain, you will get in a mini game involving the ship.
You have to use your booster and sail to get to the area with the blue flag.
When you get to it, hit triangle. Here, use Ryu to cut some of the plants.
The areas with red flags contain items, so you may want to take the time to get
some or all of them. You have to leave from the town you met the sailors in to
get some of the items. Also if you talk to one of the 3 striped sailors in the
original town and have done a 25 hit combo, he will become a master.
Finally, you can open a fishing spot by heading to a blue flag area. I've also
finally found the dragon that's here. Go to the rocks east of the Volcano Island
area. There will be some rocks here. Go to south portion and enter from the
west. You will be at the water dragons area.
Back to the sick puff. Use the plants on him to restore him back to him
back to puffy health. In the morning talk to blue puff again. Leave. There will
be an event with the red puff. Move on.
There is a dragon gene here, don't miss it. When you get to the end you
will see a pretty sunset. When you wake up the next morning, the path to get out
will be gone. DESERTED! Find Ursula.
As Fou Lu, you'll end up in a town where people seem to know him.
In camp, talk to everyone, try to leave. With Nina and Ursula look around.
Find the DX Rod, head out and you will end up in a fishing spot. Catch a fish to
sustain your parties' health. Head back to camp. Event.
As Fou Lu you will see just how badass he is.
Back on the island, to the fishing spot with you!
Fou Lu, Go straight, hey, it's Red Nose! You will have to fight two quasi
bosses that alone aren't hard but back-to-back the damage can add up.
Use Fou-Lus' new form and use it's breath attack or physical attacks for best
results. There is a place to rest here, do that first. Head back to the boss
area and pick the top choice. Get the item and kill the 2 soldiers. Confront the
emperor. Again I have to say, BAD-ASS. You are done with Fou Lu and his quest.
Back to Ryu, go back to camp and rest. In the next morning the path will
be back. Head out towards the fishing spot and there will be a new path along
the way. Leave.
Head north first to find, wait that music, could it be, yes!, KAHN, it's
KAHN, hellfire and brimstone! Actually, he'll become a master if you've had 100
battles.
Now, back to business. Head to the next town and shop. Remember this town,
you have to come back.
Trudge on, in the next area, here you have to use the pulleys to get
around. When you get to the second area with pulleys, hit the logs to get the
items.
Move to next town. Talk to all, most importantly the fat, priest looking
guy. Okay, now when you talk to him he will give you 3 options. They are:

Retrieve a jewel from a nearby cave
Retrieve an artifact
Catch 3 kinds of 3 different fish
Choose 2 cause it's the easiest.
Head back to the small town from before. Talk to the guy who used to sell
you items. He'll offer to make you the antique for 100z. Go fight some battles
for a while, come back and it will be ready. Take it back to fatty. But, before
moving on...
Go to the dungeon on the east of the pulley dungeon. There will be a man
in front of an empty chest in the first door.(significance, any?) Head up the
stairs and have Master destroy the discoloured wall. Take the stairs up, then
down. Go straight, enter the side door, slash the ropes. Enter top door to get
treasure, head back down, go back to where the chests were hanging and grab
them,(nothing huge or even good so skip it if you wish.) Go back down and take
the ladder down. Use the various jumps to get the chests. Take the exit, head
down and grab the dragon gene. It sucks, but hey, take what you can get.
Move on to the next area. Here you have to raise and lower the water
levels using the dams, then have Cray push the crates. When you get to the guy,
choose 3,1,1,3 then 3,2. You get something for this, I don't know if it's gem
trading or what. Finish up and leave. Head to the west ? spot to get a new
dragon spell.
Head to the next town. Go into the first house and talk to both people.
Leave the town and go to the new area. Here you will have an amusing mini game.
Your objective is to get the gold chicken into the pen. Not as easy at it
sounds. Bring it back to the guy. Short event.
Head to the new north areas. First one is easy. It is important, though,
that you look for a not so obvious path on the top of the screen somewhere in
this area. The next screen houses the final dragon gene. The Warrior. The next
area is familiar...
Move on until you find Fou Lus' horse thing. Examine it for a battle.
Boss: Onku?
Well, been asking for a hard one? Here we go. His physicals are hard, he
has a dearth of spells, (uses Earth mostly, so protect against it), and his
breath attack can wipe you out if you're not careful. Hope you have some
revives. Oh, yeah, and he can put you to sleep. What to do, well, what can you
do? Combos, Dragon spells, etc. Try and be at max HP at all times.
Leave to rest, stock up and save. Return. Head down the stairs and ride the
block down. In block puzzle room, you have to line up the same colored ones to
get them to create a path to the gold thing and the chest. Leave and take the
new path. In the dark path room:
1st door: chest
left path: dead end
at crossroads: right dead end
left path: exit
read the tablet and go down the ladder. Step on he block to move. Falling off
the edge and stepping on the red eye will permanently lower Ryu's HP until you
rest at an inn. After you're done here go back to the room before the dark path.
Take the new path. Exit, use the blocks as elevators. Head up, examine the
pedestal.
Boss: Devil Dice
You will spend the majority of this battle unable to use combos. They're attacks
depend on what they roll, so this battle could be insane, could be easy. Hope
it's not as hard as it was for me. If you need it, use the Kaiser form.
Difficult.
Afterwards the talking horse will return. Exit, Jump on the block and pick the
1st option. Before leaving look around for a cave that has a crack that Master
can break through. Explore for awhile.. When you get to the last room and grab
the chest, you will be able to fight a new enemy, specific only to this room.
See the section called Hell Riders at the end for more on them. If you encounter
one, run for your life, for now. Leave and you'll be back on the world map.
Head south. There will be an event in camp.
Head to the southernmost area, the path will be blocked. Talk to the main
guard as Ursula. Now, head north and go to the cannon town(east of last
dungeon). Head to the stairs that the soldier was blocking before. Go down.
Explore, there will be some chests scattered outside. Go in, hmmm, familiar
place. Take the left exit (where you were caught earlier). Take the elevator
down. Use the switches to raise and lower the gates. Take the exit. What the
hell?? Have Ryu slash at the red vein. Holy Crap! It's Elina! Finally! After the
event, leave and head to the town with the blocked gate to the south. Talk to
the guard with Ursula in the lead. You'll be let in. Go through the events and
get the sword you need. Back to Elina. Equip the new sword and slash through the
red thing. Head up and out. Search around outside for some items. Go in the
house. After the sad and kinda gross event head, back to the blocked path area.
Work your way through, you can learn 2 skills from the Assassin looking
enemies. At the end there is a boss.
Boss: Aadee??
First off, his breath attack can take full health characters out in a
single tap. Just use your best attacks, depending on what you have. The Dogiga
combo works pretty well.(Mid-Strong Fire+ Shezaaga).
After the long event, you will have access to the last dungeon.
Use this time to go back and re-visit masters, fish, do what you need to
do. When you're ready, heal up, save, and enter.
Immediately the area will look familiar. I will not give you any
walkthrough for this place. Just a few tips, you need to find key cards to
unlock doors. The color door you can unlock matches the color key you find.
Easy. Explore each floor thoroughly. There are a ton of items and 3 bosses here.
Boss: Dragon Lord
He will heal himself for 15000 Hp and the end of the first 4 turns. When
his re-generation ends, he is particularly vulnerable to fire (it seems) so
attack accordingly.

Boss: Fou Lu
Ryu has to fight alone. Use the earth dragon form. You may not have to win
this, but since you get completely healed, Ap and all after, don't hold back.
Afterward this battle you get two choices. Choose the one without the ...
to get the evil ending that lets you kill Nina and co. Or pick the ..... choice
for. . .

Boss: Holy Dragon?
His lengthy summon spell hurts, he can hit all with poison and blind in
one shot, and has a strong physical attack.(among other things). Use your best
attacks, but save some AP and AP restores because. . . .

Boss: Final Battle!!!
This battle is more long than hard. All dragon spells will miss and
regular attacks do next to nothing. I found myself relying on Dogiga comboed
with Scias 10 AP Physical attack.
His first attack will take everyones' HP to 1, his sword attacks kill instantly,
he has the Holy Dragons spells(although he RARELY uses them) and a nasty party
affecting magic attack. Keep at least one active party member fully healed and
you should be fine. Good Luck!

Of course, sit back and enjoy the ending.
After the credits, be sure to save your game. You can now access the bonus
chapter.
There aren't any story events or dungeons, but you can go back and collect
anything you've missed, and if you head back to where Ryu flipped out, fans of
Breath of Fire 2+3 will find some old friends. If you've traded gems all the way
through, one of them will give you the
