Check it out in the FAQ section. Also added a lot of items to the Complete Item List. I have also decided to add the Search Engine feature to my FAQ. I have added a new sidequest section called MAIASIS Items. It deals with items that can be sold to a shop to get new items. Check it out! Also note that the Single Moves were moved to section IV. ____________________________________________________________________________ ============================================================================ II. INTRODUCTION (SEC02) ============================================================================ Hi. This is once again a FAQ by me KingK. This time it's for Grandia Xtreme. Grandia Xtreme is the next installment in Grandia series since Grandia II. However Grandia Xtreme is not Grandia III, it is a dungeon crawler with entirely independant world and story, although the game system is based on Grandia II it has improved graphics along with gameplay and also magic and skills became much more realistic and beautiful. Rather than concentrating on the story developers decided that it's time for players to feel the taste of battle. And thatıs what this game is mostly all about--fighting countless battles, building up your characters and hunting for items. Surprisingly it was released pretty much at the same time in Japan as Grandia II, January 2002. However the Western players, along with us, Europeans had to wait a bit to play this game. It was scheduled to be released worldwide September 2002. So as always Japan gets all good stuff before anyone else. In my opinion the whole game became more dynamic and fun to play. It's really for Grandia series fans. Yes the story of this game pulls back a bit compared to its predecessors but other than that Grandia Xtreme excels in pretty much every other aspect, even graphically. Although it's not story-based it is still very enjoyable game. You'll find a lot of things to do, and yes there _is_ a story in this game! With Enix in the party the games system got really boosted. Grandia Xtreme has all the classical Grandia features and adds a lot more to explore! Disclaimer ~~~~~~~~~~ This FAQ is my property and is protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws.

GAME TUTORIAL (SEC03) ============================================================================ OK now the Tutorial is for those who are new to the Grandia series or for those who want to refresh their knowledge and learn all the new things in Grandia Xtreme. Let's get EXTREME! was done by me and it concentrates on some new features in Grandia series and things that have changed. The rest is the in-game tutorial which does a great job explaining the basics of GX. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- LET'S GET EXTREME! (SUB01) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- - There will be more than 4 characters in the game at any point given. And you'll be able switch between them. Evann, as the main hero, will always be in the party. This differs from previous Grandia games because there you had 4 characters max. - Grandia Xtreme has a mapping system, which is very helpful in the game. All the monsters and all treasures are marked! Press the [Square] button to zoom-in and zoom-out. - Geo Points are special points of energy for travelling from dungeon to town and vise versa. There are 2 kinds of Geo Points: Full Geo Points which can be used as many times as you want, and the One-time Geo Points which have to be reactivated after each use. They are not Save Points! To save see below. - You can only save your progress in the Armory inside the town and after some key points in the story. You _cannot_ save in dungeons. You can only use the Geo Points to travel back to town and then save there in the Armory. There are no Save Points in Grandia Xtreme. - There are 3 ways the battle can begin: In normal mode it starts normally while the Surprise mode puts enemies before your characters and they'll act quicker. To Forestall enemies you'll have to press and hold the X button. That way Evann will be ready for action and the battle will never be surprised. No matter where the enemy came from the battle should be Forestalled or at least normal. - The Xtreme indicator on the lower-right of the screen shows whether there is an very strong enemy nearby. If there is the meter begins to flicker. This is useful if you're not using map. - Now you can _combine_ Mana Eggs to create more powerful ones! For more info on Mana Eggs check the Mana Eggs section. - Skills now grow on their own, after participating in battle. You don't need to collect and distribute skill points among the skills to level then up. To learn more about skills look up the 'Magic & Skills' section of the Tutorial. - The items in dungeons are now randomly generated. They will be randomized should you try to redo the dungeon. Monsters will be revived as well. So using the Geo Point to heal or drop some items in town will automatically reset-to-defaults the whole dungeon and randomize all the items! Some items/chests may not appear at all when you redo the dungeon! - You can get a bonus experience after combat. There are 4 situations: Excellent : If no one endured damage during combat, magical or physical then each character gets bonus experience. Finished by Moves : The character one who killed the last fiend by a Move gets bonus Skill experience. Finished by Feat : When characters kill the last foe by a combo the group gets bonus Skill experience after battle. MVP : The character who did the most damage and was the most useful overall gets bonus experience. (????) - Each time you enter a dungeon your SP will reset to 0. SP will restore once you endure damage or attack/defend. - You can store items which you don't need in the Item Shop. The amount of items you can carry is limited. - Characters now can perform combos in collision using their Special Moves to inflict more damage upon the enemy. To learn more about combos check the 'Combination Moves' section. - Chatting with your friends while you eat has _not_ been deleted. You'll be able to do this in the Diner. - Classical PS RPG in-game soft reset can be used in Grandia Xtreme: hold L1 + L2 + R1 + R2 and then press START + SELECT. - There are secret areas. Keep your eyes open! A simple wall may be in fact a hidden room with a chest/Mana Egg/enemy! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- PREPARING FOR ADVENTURE (SUB02) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Character Select ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Talk to the Armory Manager. Select 'Character & Slot Select' Confirm members choice: Use directional buttons to select members other than Evann, then use the circle button to confirm the change. After changing members, check their slot assignment and rearrange if necessary. Slot System ~~~~~~~~~~~ Each character is allotted six personal slots in the status area in their own personal info screens. Personal slots include 'Mana Egg Slots' and 'Skill Book Slots'. Equip the character with as many Mana Eggs and Skill Books as the slots allow. Each character has varying strengths and weaknesses for each skill. Slots can only be changed at the Armory, Magic or Skill Shop, but not during an adventure. Magic & Skills Equipping ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ You can use magic once a Mana Egg has been set to a slot. To equip Mana Eggs, select 'Equip Mana Egg' in the Slot Assignment Screen. Select the Mana Egg to be equipped. A Skill Book is needed to equip skills. Select 'Equip Skill Book' and the desired book. After Skill Books are equipped, select 'Equip Skill' and choose the desired skill. Different skill ranks are set in Skill Books. Even if you have a skill, you cannot use it without the right book. Recovering & Saving ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Talk to Armory Manager when you return. You can select 'Rest' to recover all HP, MP, and Disorders. Caution: You can only 'Save' by talking to the Armory Manager inside the Armory. You cannot save anywhere else! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- MAGIC AND SKILLS (SUB03) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mana Egg Junction ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The magic and MPs in each Mana Egg varies depending on the type of Egg. You can create a more powerful Mana Egg by combining two different Mana Eggs into one. Combined Mana Egg may have an extra effect called 'SF'. Skills ~~~~~~ Skills are assigned to personal slots. By equipping skills to Skill Books, you can create various effects. Skill Books are for managing skills. You cannot obtain a skill until you equip a Skill Book. Skill Books can be customized with your skill preferences. Caution: Like other slots, skills can only be equipped at the Armory, Magic or Skill Shop. Skill Creation ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In a dungeon, if you pick up a Vellum, make sure to take it to the Skill Shop. It can be made into a skill. Until the skill is created, you won't know what kind of skill it is. If it turns out you have too many duplicate skills or skills you don't want, you can trade them at the Skill Shop. Skill Growth ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Skills can be developed by earning skill experience points from winning battles. Depending on the enemy, the type of experience points you get varies. Fight as many types of enemies as possible. If there is space in Skill Books, fill it with the skills you want to have strengthened. Experience points you get in battles are only good for skills that have been equipped to the Skill Book. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- BATTLES (SUB04) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ultimate Action - Battle ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Enemies and allies in battles are shown as icons on the IP Gauge (bottom right). Read action turns then enter commands. 'Combo' is the basic attack. 'Critical' lowers the enemy's IP and may also 'Cancel' the enemy’s attack. Use Defend or Evade for unavoidable attacks to reduce overall damage. This is the key to staying alive. SP attack & Magic ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ SP Attacks consume 'SP', which increases as the battle progresses. It is a powerful attack. The more you use SP Attacks, the higher your skill level gets. As you become more powerful, the time an action takes gets shorter, which makes SP Attacks easier to use. Depending on battle conditions, SP Attacks can change into very powerful JT Attacks, so use your allies in battle. Casting magic spells use up MP from Mana Eggs. Remember that Each Mana Egg has its own MP. Status Disorder & E-Resist ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ When getting a Status Disorder (poison, paralysis, etc.) a battle can change. To prevent it use items, skills, or magic. Elemental Resist is a resistance against elements such as Fire or Wind, which reduces Magic or SP Attack damage. Monsters may also have Elemental Resist which makes your Magic or SP Attack ineffective. Try using anti-element spells or SP Attacks to defeat these monsters. Be aware of your enemy's weaknesses. Bonus Points ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Consecutive attacks inflict extra damage and increase Combo Bonuses. Those who do well in battles get more experience points or skill points as a bonus! ____________________________________________________________________________ ============================================================================ IV. PLAYABLE CHARACTERS (SEC04) ============================================================================ At any point given there will be more than 4 characters and you'll be able to switch the party members in the Armory. This is a new feature for the Grandia series, before Grandia Xtreme the party was decided for you. Evann will always stay in the party. You'll get everyone pretty early in the game, and then a bit later Lutina will join. Don't worry she won't be at level 1. A few words about the voices. Pretty much every plot character in Grandia Xtreme has his done by a person and here are a few interesting examples: Evann the main hero of the game has the voice of Dean Cain the Superman while Lutina was voiced by singer Lisa Loeb. And here comes the best part, the everyones favorite bastard Kroitz was voiced by Mark Hamill himself, yep you've heard me right Luke Skywalker is Kroitz! Ha! Didn't see that coming?! Well I guess it is pointless to ponder on the matter of female weight in Grandia Xtreme. So instead I have replaced their weight with their measurements, yeah I know--I'm a creepy perve ~_^. Oi! NOTICE: Unlike combos to progress in the single moves you only need to meet the requirements. For example to learn Evann's Spark Volt you need X Slash level 3, so once you get it to level 3 the next time you choose combo command you'll learn the Spark Volt, 100% guaranteed. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- EVANN (SUB05) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name : Evann Voice of : Dean Cain Gender : Male Age : 18 Height : 5' 7'' Weight : 62 kg.

COMBINATION MOVES (SEC05) ============================================================================ In Grandia Xtreme characters can perform moves in a collision with other characters. They can perform double, triple and quadruple combos. Before you can learn new combination moves you'll first have to learn the required single moves (maxed out preferably) and characters involved in the combo must participate in battle. Each character needs to have the required SP for the combo. If you just can't seem to learn a certain combo then check your moves, maybe you don't have the required single character moves or if you have then try to level them up a bit. However, most of the time it's because one of your characters doesn't have the SP needed for the combination. To boost up your chances of learning a combo equip the Foreboding skill, try to equip every character partaking in the combination with this skill (maxed out). That way when the combo is available for learning a flashing line will appear between characters. When that happens select the [Move] command and choose the correct single move required for the combination. Watch the effect level; the higher it is the more damage your move will deal. Moves with no effect level are usually healing, restoring or status inflicting. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- DOUBLE COMBINATIONS (SUB13) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- There is a total of 24 double combination moves. Most of these are single enemy and have cancel effect, but some are really powerful all-enemies combos. - Volt Slash ~~~~~~~~~~ Description: Electric discharge. (Bolt). Paralysis.

I believe that these quadruples have more disadvantages than advantages really. Although you could try finishing a Boss or a powerful enemy using one of the quadruples, that way everyone in your party will get bonus skill experience after battle. - Quadruple Combo ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Description: Perfect 16-hit Combo. Effect Level: 28 Combo Lvl: * (1) Characters: Evann + Brandol + Carmyne + Ulk Required Moves: Sky Dragon Slash + Eruption Slash + Rosette Slash + + Spinning hurler SP needed: 35 Move range: Single Enemy - Gatling Spike ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Description: Super rapid fire 18-hit. Effect Level: 26 Combo Lvl: *** (3) Characters: Evann + Titto + Myam + Lutina Required Moves: Thunder Split + Disk Cutter + Hail Shower + Meteor Slash SP needed: 32 Move range: Single Enemy Well that concludes the Quadruple Moves and wraps up this section. Combination moves are not that necessary but if you use them with skill your battles will be much easier. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- FAQ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Q: Are there any hidden combos/moves? A: No. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Q: Is there any characters without double combos? A: No. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Q: Is there any characters without triple combos? A: No. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Q: Is there any characters without quadruple combos? A: Yes, Jaid. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Q: Are these combos/moves required to beat the game? A: No. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Q: I have learned the [move] and [move] and [move] but I still can't seem to learn that [triple combo]! A: Unlike single moves triple, double and quadruple combos do not have a 100% chance of learning. Equip a couple of maxed out Foreboding skills and wait until the IP gauge begins to flash. When that happens use one of the required single moves and that's it! You have just learned the desired combo! ___________________________________________________________________________ =========================================================================== VI. SKILLS (SEC06) =========================================================================== In Grandia Xtreme Skill Books are empty and you'll have to insert skills to actually use them in combat. There is a wide range of skills to choose from and there are 4 ranks of them: C, B, A and S ranks. To learn new skills you'll have to seek out special Vellums in dungeons. When you find one take it to a Skill Shop to reveal what skill it is. In the same way you'll have to look for Skill Books in dungeons. After you have found and equipped the Skill Book and identified the skill you can equip characters with skills. Choose a character and equip the skill into the Skill Book. After that skills can be used in combat. Each monster can give Mental, Physical, Combat or Special experience. This experience is needed to level-up your skills. Skills will level-up only if they are equipped by a character. Fight more battles to learn skill experience. The more stars (levels) the skill has the more effective it is. Remember: equipping only the Skill Book is not enough, you have to put skills into the Skill Book. Vellums ~~~~~~~ There are 10 kinds of Vellums that can be found in dungeons. Those are: Combat Vellum : 1 C-Rank Combat Skill Mental Vellum : 1 C-Rank Mental Skill Physical Vellum : 1 C-Rank Physical Skill Secret Vellum : 1 C-Rank Special Skill Battle Vellum : 1 B-Rank Combat Skill Psyche Vellum : 1 B-Rank Mental Skill Corporal Vellum : 1 B-Rank Physical Skill High Vellum : 1 A-Rank Combat, Physical or Mental Skill Coverted Vellum : 1 A-Rank Special Skill Ultimate Vellum : Any 1 S-Rank Skill You can't use plain vellums. First you have to create a skill. Creating a skill costs G. Different types of skills require different amounts of G: Combat Vellum : 100G Mental Vellum : 100G Physical Vellum : 100G Secret Vellum : 100G Battle Vellum : 250G Psyche Vellum : 250G Corporal Vellum : 250G High Vellum : 600G Coverted Vellum : 600G Ultimate Vellum : 1000G Skills are divided by rank. Each rank has its own maximum skill level (those yellow stars). The higher the level the more valueble/efficient the skill becomes. When you reach the maximum skill level that skill becomes maxed and cannot be leveled-up anymore. The higher the skill rank the lower the maximum level. Well you can't have the best S-Rank skills at level 7 now can you? C-Rank: Max Level ******* (7) B-Rank: Max Level ***** (5) A-Rank: Max Level *** (3) S-Rank: Max Level * (1) The skill levels are very important actually. In some cases It determines the possibility of executing that skill or the effective power of the skill. How? Well if you look at some of the skill descriptions it may say that chance of executing is 'Level x X%'. Make no mistake, not your character level, but the level of the skill multiplied by X%. Skill will take effect only if it has at least 1 level. As with the Skill Books, the further you are in the game the higher Vellums you find. NOTICE: Most of the skills (like Iron Guard and Asura Spirit for example) are stackable. So it is a good idea to have more than one skill equiped. Skill Books ~~~~~~~~~~~ There are 7 different Skill Books. Explore the dungeon to find Skill Books. The further you are in the game the better Skill Books you find. Each can equip different type and number of skills: Beginner Book : Equips 1 C-Rank Skill Novice Book : Equips 2 C-Rank Skills Extra Book : Equips 3 C-Rank Skills Advanced Book : Equips 1 B-Rank Skill Expert Book : Equips 2 B-Rank Skills Master Book : Equips 1 A-Rank Skill Limited Book : Equips 1 Any-Rank Skill Selling Skills and Skill Books ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ You can sell Skills and Skill Books at Skillman's shop. Here is a lowdown on the value of the different level skills for the item exchange. Alright, first off the value of the mental, combat, and physical skills are all the same, while the special skills are worth double. This is a simple table showing the selling rates: x______________ _______________ _______________ ________________x | C - RANK | B - RANK | A - RANK | S - RANK | x__________|______________|_______________|_______________|________________| | | Min Lvl: 10P | Min Lvl: 30G | Min Lvl: 60G | Min Lvl: 200G | | MENTAL | Max Lvl: 80P | Max Lvl: 150G | Max Lvl: 240G | Max Lvl: 400G | |__________|______________|_______________|_______________|________________| | | Min Lvl: 10P | Min Lvl: 30G | Min Lvl: 60G | Min Lvl: 200G | | COMBAT | Max Lvl: 80P | Max Lvl: 150G | Max Lvl: 240G | Max Lvl: 400G | |__________|______________|_______________|_______________|________________| | | Min Lvl: 10G | Min Lvl: 30G | Min Lvl: 60G | Min Lvl: 200G | | PHYSICAL | Max Lvl: 80G | Max Lvl: 150G | Max Lvl: 240G | Max Lvl: 400G | |__________|______________|_______________|_______________|________________| | | Min Lvl: 20G | Min Lvl: 60G | Min Lvl: 120G | Min Lvl: 400G | | SPECIAL | Max Lvl: 160G| Max Lvl: 300G | Max Lvl: 480G | Max Lvl: 800G | |__________|______________|_______________|_______________|________________| x x The value of the books are the same as how many 'G' it takes to create a skill from that level. Ex: Beginner Book is 100 pts and it takes 100G to make a C-rank skill. Novice Book is 200 pts, it equips 2 C-Rank skills and it takes 200G to create 2 C-Rank skills and so on: Beginner Book : 100 pts Novice Book : 200 pts Extra Book : 300 pts Advanced Book : 250 pts Expert Book : 500 pts Master Book : 600 pts Limited Book : 1000 pts When you have accumulated enough Points from selling skills or books you can buy various items/eggs from the Skillman. He has various items and mana eggs also he has the Spirit Helm which costs 48000 Points. You can buy any item as many times as you want as long as you have enough Points. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- SKILL LIST ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- C-RANK SKILLS (SUB16) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- C-Rank skills appear a lot during the first part of the game when exploring the elemental dungeons. And later some of the C-Rank skills will come in handy, like Iron Guard and Coercion. _________________ __________________________________________________________ SKILL DESCRIPTION _________________ __________________________________________________________ Combat Skills ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Abandonment Improves evasion rate (Level x 10%).

MANA EGGS (SEC07) ============================================================================ First of all, I'd like to thank Meta Tinara for helping me with this section and letting me use some of the info from his own guide. If you want a quality in depth guide about Mana Eggs then check out his guide on GameFaqs. General Situation ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In Grandia Xtreme you can collect Mana Eggs, buy them, have more then 1 of the same type and most importantly now you can combine them to get more powerful ones! This is one of the most important new features that Grandia Xtreme has. The Mana Egg system got a lot more flexible. Each Mana Egg has its own MP and it cannot exceed 999. Getting Started ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ To manage your Mana Eggs you'll have to visit the Magician Shop. Talk to the shop owner and you'll have a number of options. Choose 'Check Junction Recipe', you'll notice a simple 4x5 grid. This is your starting table with 4 primary elemental eggs Flame, Wind, Aqua & Stone (you should already have at least one of each). Using (combining) those eggs will eventually lead you to higher level Mana Eggs. Mana Eggs are scattered troughout dungeons. Sometimes they can be found inside trasure chests. Mana Eggs can only be bought from the Skillman, in the Skillman's shop for special points. NOTICE: The maximum egg level that you can find in a dungeon is level 4. And level 4 eggs can only be found after Boost Level 3, that is after you beat the game. Don't let no blind retard fool you, THE MAXIMUM EGG LEVEL THAT YOU CAN FIND IS 4! If you want to get eggs above level 4 then you'll have to junction them. Junction System ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ You take one egg and combine it with another one to get a new egg. Not all eggs can be combined with each other, Dust and Burst eggs, for example, can not be combined. Usually the resulting egg is a better with more MP, SF and so on. But that's not always true. Most of the Mana Eggs exist as elements, and must be kept to their element to get the most powerful eggs, that is Chaos, Holy and Ether: Flare -> Lava -> Bomb -> Star -> Volcano -> Cluster Wind -> Heat -> Thunder -> Lightning -> Cyclone -> Photon Aqua -> Mist -> Frost -> Icicle -> Rainbow -> Blizzard Stone -> Sand -> Leaf -> Forest -> Gravity -> Soul Cluster, Photon and Blizzard then lead to their respective Level 9 Eggs (excluding Soul). Cluster -> Ether Photon -> Chaos Blizzard -> Holy And the Soul Egg is used to get the Crown Egg, which then can be junctioned with Calamity, Dragon or Fenrir eggs to get a Level 9 Egg. There is a total of 42 different Mana Eggs to be combined and your 4x5 grid will eventually expand to 6x7 grid. Like this: x___________ ____________ ____________ ____________ ___________ ___________x | lv9| lv8| lv7| lv7| lv8| lv9| | HOLY | FENRIR | PROTECT | ASTRAL | DRAGON | CHAOS | |___________|____________|____________|____________|___________|___________| | lv4| lv1| lv1| lv1| lv1| lv0| | BOOSTER | FLARE | WIND | AQUA | STONE | DUST | |___________|____________|____________|____________|___________|___________| | lv4| lv2| lv2| lv2| lv2| lv3| | DECREASE | LAVA | HEAT | MIST | SAND | BURST | |___________|____________|____________|____________|___________|___________| | lv4| lv3| lv3| lv3| lv3| lv6| | DARKNESS | BOMB | THUNDER | FROST | LEAF | RESTORE | |___________|____________|____________|____________|___________|___________| | lv7| lv4| lv4| lv4| lv4| lv5| | VOID | STAR | LIGHTNING | ICICLE | FOREST | FAIRY | |___________|____________|____________|____________|___________|___________| | lv8| lv5| lv5| lv5| lv5| lv7| | CALAMITY | VOLCANO | CYCLONE | RAINBOW | GRAVITY | LIFE | |___________|____________|____________|____________|___________|___________| | lv9| lv6| lv6| lv6| lv6| lv8| | ETHER | CLUSTER | PHOTON | BLIZZARD | SOUL | CROWN | |___________|____________|____________|____________|___________|___________| x x Mana Eggs are divided by levels and usually higher level means better egg: [ Lvl 0 ] : Dust [ Lvl 1 ] : Flare, Aqua, Wind, Stone [ Lvl 2 ] : Lava, Heat, Sand, Mist [ Lvl 3 ] : Thunder, Frost, Leaf, Bomb, Burst [ Lvl 4 ] : Forest, Booster, Decreass, Darkness, Star, Lightning, Icicle [ Lvl 5 ] : Volcano, Cyclone, Rainbow, Gravity, Fairy [ Lvl 6 ] : Cluster, Photon, Blizzard, Soul, Restore [ Lvl 7 ] : Life, Astral, Protect, Void [ Lvl 8 ] : Crown, Calamity, Dragon, Fenrir [ Lvl 9 ] : Chaos, Ether, Holy Sometimes when you combine eggs letters may appear with the resulting egg. Those are Special Forces. SF (Special Force) indicates a magical power-up element. Also a Mana Egg(s) may have a yellow floating star with it. If it has then when you use that egg for combinations the chance that resulting egg will have SF will increase. One magic can have no more than 5 different Special Forces. There are six varieties of SF: [ Mp ] : MP consumption decreases. [ P ] : Power rises, or Effect Time extends. [ H ] : Offensive spell hit count increases. [ W ] : Spell area of effect range extends. [ S ] : Time to activate spell decreases. [ Ip ] : Offensive spell IP damage climbs. The below Mana Egg List has only the junction formulas that the game itself suggests. Of course, there are a lot more combinations. To check them all browse through JungleJims Mana Egg guide. Also you should note that when you combine 2 identical eggs the result will be the same egg with increased MP. But if you junction different eggs then MP is determined by the 'MP compatibility factor' (MPC) which was discovered by JungleJim. So to view all of the combinations and full MPC chart check out his Mana Egg guide on GameFaqs. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- MANA EGG LIST (SUB20) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- LEVEL 0 EGGS ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dust Egg ~~~~~~~~ Contains power of dust.

A: No. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Q: Ha! You didn't list every possible Mana Egg combination! Why? A: Yes, I didn't. Because: a) it would be a very long list. b) there are already other FAQs on GameFaqs that deal with this. Providing only the combinations that the game suggests is more than enough for my guide. c) most of the combos are useless. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Q: I have this Mana Egg and it has this yellow floating star(s) with it. A: It means when you use that egg(s) for combinations the chance that resulting egg will have SF increase. More stars=more chances of getting SF. ____________________________________________________________________________ ============================================================================ VIII. WALKTHROUGH (SEC08) ============================================================================ Our story begins when a new nation, Nortis, had finally finished a long-standing border conflict with a country known as Arcada. Far from the savagery of the battles at the Nortis border, a boy named Evann was born into a family of 'Geo Rangers'. He was known in his neighborhood for being rash and hating to lose. He went around with hot-blooded friends doing stupid things, but as they got older, they got jobs and adapted to society. After his father's death, Evann decided to follow in his footsteps and became a Geo Ranger. He turned over a new leaf, and trained everyday to continue his family trade. Geo Rangers have the ability to use the power of the force, which flows in the Geo Stream of the world. It is a job, once valued in places like mines, where one can instantly transport to another place by making a 'Geo Point' and 'diving' into it. Geo Points are created at places where the power of the force is strong. NOTICE: Use the FORCE Evann! ...sorry couldn't help it! ^_^ The game starts with a man driving some strange-looking motorcycle. Action shifts to Evann, the main hero of the game. Evann is practicing his fighting skills when his bud, a mailman named Pike, delivers him his fourth letter from the ever annoying Nortis Army. Evann doesn't like the army. Then they chat and Evann complains a bit about a guy named Kroitz. Then Pike leaves. Evan tries to create a Geo Point but he fails. He then lies down to rest. He remembers his dead father. Then a woman with some military thugs attacks Evann and takes him captive. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- LOCCA ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Geo Points: Base Geo Point Action shifts into a room. Evann sits there very angry. A woman comes in and starts bossing Evann around. Her name is Diene. Apparently she is a military commander. She says that Evann should cool down, check out the town and then find her. When you gain control, as always, check the menu and get used to the controls. Then go outside and examine the village of Locca. Talk to people. Visit the shops. Don't go across the bridge to Locca park it's pointless, and don't go to Starry Park either. In the end you'll want to go to the Command Post and meet the party. Inside, you meet Carmyne and Brandol--your party. Diene explains that you were chosen by the military to assist in the operation against the Elemental Disorder. She tells that tomorrow a truck will pick you up so you've got to rest until then. Anyway, Diene leaves and you to get closer acquainted with Carmyne and Brandol. Evann tells them that he is a ranger. After that leave the post and proceed to the Armory. Talk to the manager and choose Rest. The next day. Go through the back door and meet Carmyne with Brandol. Brandol says that they are going to the Sandworm's Den. He'll ask if you're prepared, say yes. Then he starts complaining about this mission, Evann, and that they made Evann the leader of this party. Evann doesn't want to and doesn't know how to be one. Everyone boards the truck. On the road the party discusses the situation. The Elemental Disorder has caused great havoc, (see the trashed tanks?). Although the Disorder in this region has been neutralized, four ruins were found with the Disorder. Your party is here to investigate. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- LAND RUINS ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- SANDWORM'S DEN ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Geo Points: None When you arrive, go to the H.Q. Control Room and talk to Diene. Well something is definitely under those Elementally Disordered ruins. And Colonel himself is leading the investigation. Once you regain control hit the Land Ruins. LAND RUINS 1 ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Geo Points: None Start walking. The path is without forks. When you reach a guard talk to him. He will tell you that there will be some traps and monsters ahead. Reach the ladder and climb down into the circle room with a tree in the middle. Then go through the huge doors and into the Land Ruins 2. NOTICE: In the first trapped corridor, between the second and third falling blocks, on the right wall is a secret door that often leads to a Skill Book or a Mana Egg. Very helpful in the early game. The Treasure Chest isn't marked on the map. Never. NOTICE: Before the second trapped corridor, you climb a flight of stairs, turn to your right, away from the trapped corridor and go to the end. Press 'O' and open a secret passage, revealing a Carro! LAND RUINS 2 ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Geo Points: None Use the ladder to go down. As you can see this is a wide open area with a lot of mushrooms. Cut them all! In Grandia Xtreme mushrooms contain not only items and foes but also they can heal or poison you. Anyway after you've got some mushrooms and killed some enemies, go into the center and use the (!) mark to activate the shining pillar. Using the floating stones examine all the tunnels and in the end of one push big stone pillar to create a floating bridge to Land Ruins 3. LAND RUINS 3 ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Geo Points: None Start walking. No forks here either. After the floor will collapse use the other path and activate the shining pillar. Return and jump to the other side. Keep walking. Step on the trap and the floor will go down, take some items, kill some monsters. Watch out for those huge boulders! After the boulder madness walk into the room and the door will close, Huge Minotaur will crash down and will try to encounter you! Yes, you can actually try and flee from him for a while but eventually you'll see that there is no point in that. Anyway prepare for a Boss battle! NOTICE: Know the place where you can occasionally meet the Minotaur, in that small corridor, which is usually haunted by a Sasquatch? At the end of that corridor lies yet another secret door which reveals YET another Carro. BOSS BATTLE ~~~~~~~~~~~ Boss: Minotaur Type: Beast Drop item: Secret Vellum Physical Vellum Seed of Magic Steal item: Mental Vellum Psyche Vellum Bamboo Armor Bamboo Glove Bracelet Red High Heels Face Guard Head Gear Purifying Dress Legguard Special attacks: Tornado Horn (Confusion/one) Land Crush (Land/around self) Minions: Gilled Pawns The Minotaur is not very different from Grandia II. His 4 sidekicks should be dealt with first. Then it's 4 against 1, unleash your strongest moves. He is quite slow but keep your eyes open for his Tornado Horn, cancelling it is a good idea. Your Mana Eggs are not very strong yet so use them mainly for healing. And be prepared for this fight! It'll be very annoying if the Minotaur will kick your ass becasue you were unprepared! After the battle proceed to the shining pillar and activate it. You will be elevated down, go through the passage and into the door to the Spiritual Atrium. SPIRITUAL ATRIUM ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Geo Points: None You meet up with the Colonel. Evann with Kroitz go way back, I guess, and Evann doesn't like Kroitz very much. But Kroitz is the Colonel so everyone has to listen to him. He explains that these ruins were invented by ancient people to control the elements therefore the ruins have the power to stop the Disorder. Kroitz tells that your party has to travel to other ruins and stop the Elemental Disorder in other places. When you gain control go to the Barracks for your reinforcements. In the barracks Evann and Brandol starts arguing again. Then Diene comes in and Evann asks her about Kroitz, she doesn't know anything and tells that she's just following orders from Colonel. She's screwed. Enter the room to meet additional members. OK... now there are 4 new recruits who are determined to stop the Disorder. The big brute Ulk with the spiritual protection from elements and who likes blowing things away(!), the little guy Titto who's good in long range combat, Jaid the magician with combat skills and Myam the girl who uses the bow. Brandol starts mocking them, Evann doesn't care. Anyway after a lot of arguments the party decides that the leader should be Evann. OK gather your party and hit the Inferno Pit. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- FLAME RUINS ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- INFERNO PIT ~~~~~~~~~~~ Geo Points: Full Geo Point Enjoy the CG movie involving Evann, tanks and the spirit. After that you'll find yourself in some kind of cavern. This place is quite empty except for one Geo Point (this is the first full one, I believe). Use it if you need something in town. Then climb the ladders up. Now this is a wide open area and it has 2 main paths. Go left and climb down the hole and through the tunnel then climb up. You'll be on a small island take the item and leave. Watch out for the lava rivers. Return to the start and head right. Watch out for the lava eruptions, each eruption will spawn an enemy. Don't mind the fork and just keep heading up the path. When you reach the ladders climb them. You'll be on the mountain. You can go left and climb down to collect the items but your main goal is to reach the top of the mountain. Your path up will be shaped as the letter Z. When you reach the top head straight up but watch out for the erupting lava, this time there will be no enemies but it can damage you. Before you proceed to Volcano - Exterior head all the way right and collect the chest. VOLCANO - EXTERIOR ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Geo Points: None This place does look like the volcano but with some kind of mechanical device in the middle. The cave to the left of you is empty (well I mean mine was empty but who knows...). Go right stay off the edge because the floor will fall down and you'll collapse one level down. Instead miss one ladder and use the second. When you find huge rock blocking your path use the big pipe and go down. Use the ladders up twice and push the rock down (be careful not to fall). This rock smashed the first rock that blocked your path. Return to the first rock and you'll find another cavern (mine was empty). Then use the huge pipe and follow the path down ignoring the ladder. Use the ladder down when you reach it. Go to the end of the path and you should probably find a Mana Egg. Then return and enter the huge pipe. One path is closed to you therefore use the other. Follow the tunnel into a cave (there should be an item behind the rock). Follow the other path until you find yourself inside the pipe again. Exit the pipe. Take the chest and then use the controller it'll open a path to Flame Ruins - Interior. FLAME RUINS - INTERIOR ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Geo Points: Full Geo Point Use the Geo Point. Then use the elevator to go down to hell. (:E Once there step on the blue pillar of light to clear a path of flames. Go left and open a hidden door in the wall. Then head right through the hall of flames. Then you'll reach infernal pillars here's how to jump: Jump on the first pillar when it's _below_ you, the following pillar should be below you to. Continue jumping until you reach the other side. Take the chest and again into the hallway. Step on another blue light pillar and head left. Open a hidden room in the wall and take the treasure chest. Take the item and step on another blue light pillar. Then follow the path into another hallway. In the next room you’ll notice a block. Next to the block there is a switch, activate it and flames will push the block. Pushed block will activate the mechanism and the door will open. Enter the room and push another block then activate the switch and flames will once again push the block near the first one and open the other door. Return to the previous room and enter the opened door, follow the path until you reach the last blue light pillar, step on it. Go left and open the secret door (it's in the wall). Now make your way into the center. All the flames are gone. Enter the room with fire blazing from the walls. Push the block on the right. Then use the path on the left to reach the left block and push it also. The fire is gone. Use the middle path and kill the guards. Then head through the right sides path to take the book. Return and head up into the Flame Ruins - Hall of Flames. FLAME RUINS - HALL OF FLAMES ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Geo Points: One-time Geo Point How many Baby Crustaceans have you killed? Well it's pay back time! He he! Anyway, Mother Crustacean is upon you. Follow the path and encounter the Boss. BOOS BATTLE ~~~~~~~~~~~ Boss: Mother Crustacean Type: ???? Drop item: ???? Steal item: Seed of Power Mental Vellum Cassandra Special attacks: Swallow (Cancel/one) Hi-Jump (Physical/circle) Breeding (Summons Baby Crustaceans) Burnflame (Flame/circle) Left Claw/Right Claw Type: ???? Drop item: None Steal item: Devil Clothes Horn Shield Quartz Pendant Forest Suit Ice Helm Rune Plate Special attacks: Side Slash (Physical/fan) Scissors Beat (Confusion/one) Burnflame (Flame/circle) Minions: Baby Crustaceans This Boss is much more harder then the previous one. It's a Boss with 2 claws. Moreover it has 2 sidekicks. Forget about the Baby Crustaceans, if you kill them the mother will use Breeding and they will reappear. You can also forget about the claws because it'll be just a waste of you SP. Concentrate on the main body. Her 2 most deadly attacks are Hi-Jump and Scissors Beat plus the Scissors Beat will give your character confusion. Use your most deadly moves on the body only. You should probably have learned a couple of combos by now so use them to the fullest. Fire, of course, is ineffective here so don't use any fire magic. It is a good idea to leave one character for healing only, using Alheal or Alhealer. After the fight proceed into the Flame Ruins - Spiritual Atrium FLAME RUINS - SPIRITUAL ATRIUM ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Geo Points: None When you enter the Atrium Evann is amazed by this place because it's different from the Land Ruins. When you gain control speak to you friends. Check the crystal dragon, a beautiful beast! Brandol is examining some ancient writings which says: ...614 ...star ...until the cycle ends. Even... spiritual power... unable to attain... lost Give birth to Quanlee under Evol... Quanlee... Existence filled with spiritual power... What could this mean? Anyway, reach the top and take the Flame Slab. Return to Locca and go to the Command post to meet Diene. In the Command Post Evann hits Diene about the dragon and the mural found in the Flame Ruins. She doesn't know anything about but says that their scientist Specto wants to hear your report. She tells you take your team and head to Escarre. So grab your team, they are... Brandol : near the Diner Carmyne : inside the Diner Titto : Barracks 2nd floor Jaid : Barracks 2nd floor room 202 Ulk : Locca park Myam : Locca park (across the river) ...and hit the railway platform. You meet Diene in the station and she says that scientist Specto will answer all you questions in Escarre. Board the train and head for Escarre. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ESCARRE (first visit) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Geo Points: None When you arrive to Escarre everyone is excited about the city. Jaid with Titto decide to lurk about the local houses, Brandol and Carmyne went to the local pub while Ulk and Myam went to enjoy the water. You can explore the downtown of Escarre although there is nothing to do there. Eventually you'll have to visit the Music Hall. In the Music Hall you'll meet Specto the scientist and the 'musicians'. Talk to Specto and he will answer your questions. When he's done feeding you his useless information leave the Music Hall and head for the station. Speak to Diene and choose 'OK, let's go back.' You board the train and return to Locca. In the meantime Specto with Kroitz are discussing something about some Disorder ruins, creatures and the Quaniee project. Anyway it seems that they are plotting something EVIL! Back in Locca. The party discusses 'information' given by Specto. Everyone agrees that Specto didn't tell everything and that Kroitz is involved in all this. But they are still up on their mission: to once and for all stop the Elemental Disorder!!! The next stop is the stormy se
