If you need to contact us with questions about the game, we can be found on the
Wild Arms 2 Message Board at:
            http://cgi.gamefaqs.com/boards/gentopic.asp?board=24489
Please do not send email regarding game questions. The answers have been on the
board for quite some time. Just search and you'll find it (rather than posting a
new topic).

Also, check the bestiary sections before asking for monster locations since it
has been greatly updated by theendcomes, and includes a section on how to open
different locations. If it is not located there, check David Jameson's Monster
FAQ on gamefaqs. He did an excellent job with it.

Section 1 : Version Information

We are now a collaborative group, and it's making my job of finding every nook
and cranny a little easier.

     0.1 - Began documenting the game and generated information from the 
           manual. Tried to come up with an overall structure for the document.
     0.2 - Switched from <my> FAQ/WT to a collaborative effort of the WA2_Crew
           to generate the best FAQ/WT out there. Added items to the item list
           and bosses and bestiary information. Also added to the walkthrough.
     0.3 - Added to the Adventuring Explained Section. Created a FAQ section
           that I'm pulling mostly from the WA2 Message boards on gamefaqs 
           since many of the people asking me questions are further than I am.
           Added to Marivel's Red Skills and TOOL locations. Added infotmation
           to the Monster List and Monster Abilities list. Added to the WT, and
           Magic section.
     0.4 - Added to the walkthrough and did general cleanup. Added to the
           Guardians/Medium Lists, and Anastasia and Lucied's skills. Added to
           the Magic section.
     0.5 - Added to the walkthrough and bestiary. Added a bitch session at the
           beginning because I got hate mail. The next version will be a 
           complete walkthrough. Added to the FAQ.
     0.6 - Finished the walkthrough. Added information on DualMagic, added a
           rumors section and fixed readability. Removed bitch session. Updated
           Crest locations. Added to the Monster Album. Added to the item list,
           and fixed a lot of small errors and Guardian information.
     0.7 - Fixed *multiple* errors, minor and extremely major. Added use 
           contributions.

TO DO LIST:
     - Confirm which Guardian does what since I just lost my email tarball...
     - Make cheesy maps of Guild Galad.
     - REALLY need to work on the ARMs section.
     - Revise, Revise, Revise…
     - Finish Perfect Dark on Perfect Agent and finish my flow walkthrough...

Section 3 : Adventuring Explained

I'll cover this TWICE since everyone asks me questions related to it. To open
a location on the main map, you must first talk to the right person (we've
tried my best to describe where these people are in the WT). The directions
will be in a different colored text. Then, go there and search. You can't just
look at a map (say from Versus Games) and try searching that spot. You MUST
talk to the right person first. I'll place their quotes in ALL CAPS in the
walkthrough.

The search system is awful. By pushing the SQUARE button while in the field, 
you can often find Gella or items. You also have to utilize the search system 
to find locations and signposts, so use it often. Right now I'm kind of 
obsessive about using it since I've found several scattered Gella around the
different locations I've been to. It's annoying that to find some place on the
map, you have to talk to someone who tells you explicitly where it's at (it
will be in a different color text) AND you have to search for it. Usually, if
you can't find an area, it's because you haven't talked to the right person to
open the area.

When you encounter an enemy, an exclamation point will appear over your 
character's head. If the exclamation is white, then you can escape the battle 
by pushing the CIRCLE button (or the SQUARE in the field). This allows you to 
avoid weak enemies that will slow you down and give you shallow returns later 
in the game. It's good to see RPG makers catching on that this is a good thing.
If the exclamation point is red, then you have to fight (usually at a 
disadvantage, like being surprised or ambushed). If the ! is green, then it's a
monster you haven't encountered before.

As is the usual fare for RPG's, talk to everyone you encounter. Sometimes they
have relevant stuff to tell you, and other times...well, it's just fun (though
not as fun as some of the minor characters in Thousand Arms; "Ah, I'm destined 
to stay in this room forever, but what do you care? I'm only a minor 
character...").

Targeting took me a second until I realized the camera was my best friend 
(unlike in Excitebike 64 or Alundra 2). When lining up a diagonal shot, rotate 
the camera so that it is lined up with the object you are targeting. Then push 
forward and you'll automatically face the object. I guess reading the manual is 
good.

If you are having difficulty getting all the items (because of a puzzle like
the switches in the Telepath Tower), then remember that if you leave the room
and enter it again, the items will be reset. This is especially helpful when
getting the Map Scope and the Pineapple ARM.

Section 4 : Story

(from Sony Interactive)
Once there was a Blaze of Disaster that stained Filgaia with its crimson 
flames...The flames from the earth scorched the heavens. The blazing whirlwinds 
threatened to consume the very future of the planet. Mankind clung to its only 
hope of surviving this life-or- death crisis: the Sword Magess. Born as the 
daughter of a nameless petty noblemen, she was drawn to the call of the 
Guardian Blade named "Argetlahm." With no way to fight, the people cast their 
hopes on the Magess' sword and believed in the future.

The night of the seventh day after obtaining the sword--wrapped in a torrent of 
light, the Magess vanished from Filgaia together with the Blaze of Disaster, 
leaving behind Argetlahm plunged deep in the earth…

Time passed. The Guardian Blade Argetlahm began to be treated as a symbol of 
power. The battle of the Sword Magess remained in the hearts of the people as a 
familiar, ubiquitous legend. But legends of the past would have meaning in the 
present--and in the future.

Section 6 : Battle System

The battle system is rather simple to understand, though the manual devotes
multiple pages to it. Basically, you select icon choices and confirm your 
selection like in most RPG's.

  Battle Icons Level 1                Battle Icons Level 2
         EQUIP                              POWERS
  AUTO  ATTACK   RUN                 ITEM   ATTACK   DEFEND
         FORM                               CUSTOM

Battle Icons Level 1 Explained:
EQUIP  - Allows you to equip armor and weapons.
AUTO   - The computer takes over according to the settings you set up in the
         options screen (default is attack only w/o magic).
ATTACK - Opens Battle Icons Level 2 Screen
RUN    - Attempt to escape battle
FORM   - Change your party's formation in battle for a strategic advantage.

Battle Icons Level 2 Explained
POWERS - Access the character's special powers (ie. magic, force attacks, etc.)
ITEM   - Use an item.
ATTACK - Swing or shoot the enemy.
DEFEND - Reduce the damage to yourself by hiding behind a shield.
CUSTOM - Used to utilize the abilities for the Medium you have equipped.

You can escape battles with weak creatures by pressing the Circle button. Weak
battles are identified as a white balloon over the character's head, as opposed
to a red (surprised, etc) or green (new monster encountered).

As you deal and take damage, your Force Meter will rise. There are four levels
of force to gain (as explained in the character section) to allow for different
abilities for your characters. Items like the Mini Carrot and Full Carrot can
take the force level to its maximum. Without enough force, it's impossible to
cast spells or use ARMs.

Section 7 : Magic System

The create a spell at the Magic shops located around the world of Filgaia, you
need to have a Magic Crest. Each Crest can hold a single spell, and can be 
wiped clean and used for another spell if you need to change your magical 
lineup. Here is a basic list of the spells available.

Also, you can learn higher level magic, but first you need the Teleport Orb.
Heres what to do:
  1.) Teleport to Sielje Region and talk to Karayan (library) She tells you 
      about Mr.Day and that he's off at some distant location.
  2.) Switch to Lilka as your main party member and use the orb (it should 
      malfunction) and you should be on island, explore it and find an outpost, 
      talk to Mr.Day and he will give you an item.
  3.) Teleport back to Sielje and talk to Karayan, once she disapears go back 
      to Mr.Day at the Island and he will offer to teach you more powerful 
      Spells!

Dual Magic
  When Lilka receives her fourth Force ability, she can use DualMagic by
  combining spells of the same type. (thanks RPG Master)

   *** STORY ***
Lilka accidentally appears on the table during a town meeting. It seems her
teleportation gem has run amuck again on her way to the Valeria household. She
decides to spend the night. During dinner, she explains about the use of magic
and how the teleport gem has it in for her. The scene disolves to the Millenium
Puzzle.
   *** STORY ***

+---------------------------+ The Millenium Puzzle +--------------------------+
| Items: none                                                                 |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
The trick to noticing the moving blocks, is to notice that the sides are 
different than the rest of the blocks. They have a solid color while the other 
blocks are patterned.

You need to trigger the remaining three switchboxes like your sister showed 
you with the first one. Head south to the teleportation gem. Save your game.
Continue south to the next teleportation gem. Stand on the discolored block and 
shoot the central switchbox with your Fire Rod. Climb the grade and shoot the 
east switchbox. Then shoot the western switchbox.

Take the western walkway and enter the teleportation gem (the southern and 
eastern gems lead back to each other and a lot of life gems if you need them; 
it also helps out a lot with your experience points and levels). Continue west 
to the switchbox. Stand on the block next to the higher block and shoot the 
switchbox. Continue south, jumping down the blocks, and through the 
teleportation gem. Walk up to the switchbox and activate it. Shoot it again 
when you are on a normal block. This will move the next block into place. Stand 
on the block and rotate the camera to line yourself up with the switchblock. 
Shoot it. Go through the eastern teleport gem. Continue east and south, getting 
the gems. Jump down and shoot the switchbox under the path you just jumped down 
from. This lowers the obstructing blocks and allows you to continue south. Go 
to the south side of the pillar and stand on the discolored block. Shoot the 
switchbox. Enter the teleporter. Shoot the switchbox. This will open a new area
and take the remaining switchboxes left to open at two.

Save your game to the south and then enter the new teleport gem. Cross over the
central blocks and shoot the eastern switchbox. Now shoot the western switchbox
(closest to you). Climb the ramp and cross the boxes.

Take the southern route and enter the teleportation gem (the northern route is 
a dead end with a few gems). Go down the ramp and head west. Get the life gems 
and enter the next teleporter gem. Jump down and stand on the discolored block 
to the far west. Shoot the switchbox. Enter the northern teleport gem. Continue 
around the pillar, getting the life gems, and enter the northern teleport gem 
if you need more life gems. Otherwise jump down to the path below. Walk to the 
discolored block to the west and shoot the switchbox. Take the western 
teleporter. Stand on the block behind the pillar and activate the switchbox. 
Enter the teleport gem. 

Shoot the switchbox. There's only one left. Head south to save and then enter 
the new eastern teleport gem. There are several paths from this room. It looks
like:

   1   2                The numbers (1-5) are the teleportation gems.
   -   -                The -'s are normal blocks.
 --E---E---------       The O's are the switchboxes.
-----O-------O--E---5   The E's are elevator blocks stand on them and rotate
 --E---E---------         the camera to shoot the switchboxes
   -   -
   3   4

1 leads to some life gems and a pillar three blocks high.
2 leads to some life gems and a pillar two blocks high.
3 leads to some life gems and a pillar one block high.
4 leads to some life gems and a pillar three blocks high.

in 5, raise the blocks to the following heights according to the previous 
rooms:

  3  2
  1  3

This will open up the pathway. Head along it to the east and enter the teleport 
gem. Stand on the block east of the pillar and shoot the switchbox. Enter the 
teleport gem.

   *** STORY ***
The main gate will open and your sister's cries will become muffled and 
distant. The scene cuts back to the table where Lilka was eating before the 
Millenium Puzzle. It seems that the village is having a monster problem. And
the dialogue uses emoticons…

Get the RES Apple and Bullet Load from the barrels near the door. Leave the 
room and head downstairs. Go out the front door. It's Tony. He introduces you 
to his two friends, Scott and Tim. Tell them that you'll help them and they ask 
you to catch a kitten who is on the roof othe bakery.

Enter the bakery and climb onto the roof. The cat will run away. Follow it 
around the rooftops. Talk to the guy who's fixing the hole in the Inn's roof. 
Head east. The cat will jump back to the bakery's roof. Talk to the guy again 
and ask him to help you catch the cat. Jump down in the hole and make the trek 
back up to the bakery's roof. Follow the cat again and the guy will chase it 
into the hole. Jump in the hole and get the kitten from the corner. Tony will 
give you the Crest Cap you got from the kitten as a gift. Tim will give you the 
Medium Grudiev. 

   *** STORY ***
Marina delivers a message to Ashley. It seems he's been assigned to a special 
squad. Marina is not happy about it, and Ashley is confused since he was 
confined to quarters for insubordination. Ashley wonders what kind of 
relationship he has with Marina. The next morning everyone in town shows up to
see him off except for Marina. His Knighthood is to take place at the Sword 
Cathedral at the foot of the mountain far to the northwest. As he is about to 
leave, Marina makes her entrance. He promisses to come back after the ceremony 
and takes his leave.

+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
There are two sections of forest where Ashley can find Gella (5 and 1). Since
he gets more for attacking monsters, just forget finding these. Head west along 
the coast. Approach the mountain near the sandy beach and search. The Sword 
Cathedral will appear. Enter it.

   *** STORY ***
Agile Remote Mission Squad (ARMS) is being formed to aid in the increasing 
frequency of monster attacks. Those just Knighted will be blessed by the Sword
Magess. Ashley must attempt to draw the Guardian Blade, Argetlalm, though those
around him believe it cannot be done. After a cool cut-scene describing the
history of the Sword Magess, Ashley is chatting up the other knights in the 
dining hall. It seems he didn't do any better than the rest of them.
   *** STORY ***

Talk to all of the Knights. 

   *** STORY ***
After a conversation with the commander, the earth shakes and huge vortex opens 
in the middle of the Cathedral. The Knights begin to mutate. Ashley and the 
remaining unchanged knights run for the front gate. It's locked. They all begin 
to change. Ashley hears an inner voice telling him to destroy all the rest of 
them. Ashley changes into a more powerful demon.
   *** STORY ***

Head north. Ashley sees himself in the mirror and is horrified. Enter the east 
room next to the mirror. Save. Now enter all the rooms and systematically
slaughter your former ARMS. Kill them all and get the experience (30 each).
Head up the northern hallways and enter the last door. Pull the sword from the
stone.

   *** STORY ***
Ashley meets the Woman of the Light who asks him what he wishes. He just wants
to go home. She offers him Argetlahm. Ashley changes back and a mysterious Man
on Crutches enters. You can name him (I'll stick to Irving in the walkthrough).
When you go to take his hand, Ashley faints. From above the Sword Cathedral, a
Large Magestic Warrior (Sir Vinsfeld) and a Silver-Haired Key User (Caina) 
recant their demon summoning. They are trying to change history, but do not
trust the one who gave them the power. Ashley is evolving into something else.
The voice taunts him while he is unconcious. It wants "it" destroyed. Ashley
wakes up in bed. Marina was worried because the army told everyone there was an
attack rather than a demon summoning (imagine that). The baker and Marina want
you to thank Sir Valeria.

building northeast of town. Get the mittens from the barrel. Get the Heal 
Berries from the barrels as you move north through the town to the hospital. 
Enter the hospital and go into the east room. Talk to the doctor. The doc fixes
up the miner and he explains that he thinks it was a planned cave-in. Irving
calls. You get officially introduced to Kate and Amy (the girls you kicked 
Ashley out of the off-limits section of Valeria Chateau).

Head east and switch to Ashley. Talk to the Strange Woman in a Costume. Talk to
the family in the private residence (8 on the map). The old man upstairs tells 
Ashley that south of Demzen, lies the Telepath Tower. Buy items, weapons, and
upgrade your ARMs and Personal Skills. Exit the town.

None of ARMS knows what happened, but they know they need to escape. Kick the
tilted block in the northern corner of the cell and pull it out from the wall.
Walk up the passageway and push the stone out of the wall. Jump into the room.
Navigate the narrow paths (to avoid the pikes keep moving) and take the eastern 
junction first to get a Lucky Card from the chest. Then follow the western path
and go in the door. Go down the stairs and across the spikes to the "safe" spot
near the lever. Activate the lever and go our the door. Use your dash attack to 
get by the spear traps and get the Heal Berry from the chest. Exit the southern
door. Dash for short distances to get past the spear traps. Go through the 
southern door. Dash all the way to the end of the walkway and throw a knife at 
the switch. Dash back and go through the northern door in the middle of the
spear traps. Save.

Head north. Don't open the tempting door and continue north. Rotate the camera
so that you can see all the doors lined up. These are from right to left. Open 
the third door for a Crest. Open the second to last door to find the exit. Go
out. Kick the switch three times (left, right, left) to open the door. Go 
through it and shoot the sconce past the spears with the Fire Rod to open the
door. Get the life gems and continue on. The villagers of Halmetz are being 
held here. Keep pulling on the lever (a few times will do it) to open the big

ARMS heads back to the castle and get permission to use the Live Teleporter.
There is someone waiting downstairs for Ashley. Head to the entrace to the
castle to meet the townspeople of Halmetz. 

    *** STORY ***
Odessa wants to gain Guardian influences by kidnapping Tim. Ashley dreams about 
Marina. A cool question to heroism follows, and most RPG designers should 
listen to it...as well as the makers of this game. Marivel snaps him out of it 
and asks him if he knows he is the Black Knight, KnightBlazer. Obviously, he
hasn't a clue. The next mission is to counter the flying machine Varukisas. 
There are two types of Energy Crystals to obtain: Aguelite and Germatron. Then
ARMS can power the EMMA motor. Aguelite is mined near the town of Holst. A few
Germatron Crystals are supposed to be left in the shut-down Raline Observatory.
Both are in Sylvaland.
   *** STORY ***

-------------------------------- Valeria Chateau ------------------------------
Exit the room. Take the elevator to the second floor. Talk to the guy outside
the elevator to find out that Aguelite is in the Ruins Mine, and the Germatron
is in the Dragon's Vein. Take the elevator to the first floor. Exit the Chateau
and use a TeleportGem to go to the Town of Halmetz to upgrade your armor for
the battles ahead.

  - Get the Lucky card in Private Residence behind the ARMS shop.
  - Get the Memo Pen in the barrel in the Private Residence north of the item 
    shop.
  - Upgrade your personal skills and pump points into Confusion to abate the
    attacks of the most difficult monsters to come in your exploration for the
    Aguelite and Germatron.
  - There is a Sealed Monster in the northeast section of town.
  - Upgrade armor.

Leave and go to the Live Transporter. Select the Ruins Mine or the Dragon's 
Vein (the Ruins Mine will be documented first).

Head south from the Live Teleport and search to find the town of Holst. Go in.

Enter the Inn and go upstairs. Search the far bed to acquire the Bomb TOOL for
Brad. Enter the Private Residence (5) and search the barrel in the kitchen for
a Gaze Mirror. Talk to everyone else in town. I'd recommend upgrading your 
Confusion personal skill since the most difficult enemies will use confusion to
make your party chave HP off itself. Enter the Aguelite Mine.

Go through the western tunnel. Get the Life Gems as needed. Bomb the rocks and 
continue through the north tunnel. Continue north. Ignore the door to the 
western branch for now. Bomb the rock and continue north. Head north. Blow up 
the boxes and get the Heal Berries. Get the Crest from the chest. Head back and 
take the western branch. Navigate the tunnel and exit the western door. Save.

Follow the track north. Bomb the boxes and pull the lever to open the rail 
guards. Go west. Bomb the rocks and go north. There is a Sealed Monster here 
(you can't fight it now and wouldn't want to) and a Heal Berry under the 
northern chest. Kick the box to get the ARM "AM Cluster." Head back to the rail
guard room and head north. Naviaget the tunnel, getting life gems as necessary.
Go down the slope and place a bomb near the Explosive Rock Excavator to break
the rock. Go into the new tunnel.

Drop a bunch of bombs near the block to the north tunnel. This is a puzzle 
room. Bomb the blocks in this order (I got lucky and did this the first time):
  1  2
  4  3
  
Head north. Get the Aguelite from the chest. ARMS leaves the mines. Go back to 
the Live Reflector and go to the Dragon's Vein. Exit the temple and head north.
At the end of the peninsula, search to find the Raline Observatory.

disks. He tells you to go to Damzen and talk to the miners there to see where
the coal mine is.

Teleport to Damzen City, or using Under Traffic. Mt. Chug-Chug seems to have an 
entrance to the Seilje region. Becky (the Merc in the inn) tells ARMS to go

Enter the force field. After an amusing introduction to Terry, ARMS is free to
explore the town. The town is small enough that I don't need to supply a map.
Just remember that behind the far north building (there is a small walkway), 
you can get a Serenade and a Eagle Quill from the chests. Climb the stairs near 
the entrace and enter the door. Go down the hall and go in the eastern door at 
the end. Talk to the professor.

five minutes to cross. Dash between the enemy balls or fight them for okay
experience and additions to your monster cards (the clock stops for battles). 
Continue and shoot the switch. notice the blocks that are slightly raised and 
avoid them or they'll shut the door and you'll have to reset the switch. Exit 
and continue along the bridge. In the next room, stand near the closed door and 
rotate the camera to shoot the switch. Exit and continue along the bridge. Keep
going and Liz and Ard will be waiting in the control room.

  off as well. They pull out Trask 2.0, to fight.
_________________________________

_________________TRASK_2.0_______
Strategy:
  Just heal and take out the crystal first. Use ARMs and abilities. Trask likes
  to kill Tim, so the revive fruits from the enemies on the bridge come in

  is still much less difficult than Kanon was.

  1100. Access and Combine are your best friends.
____________________________

Exit the room and step on 5 (variation 3). Step on 1. Exit the door and run 
back to the train. The rear cars are dropped to make the train get through the 
dimensional seam quicker. Guild Galad is northeast of the station. Use Pooka to 
open the chest at the front of te train to get a Lucky Comb. Head up the stairs 
and out the doors.

Guild Galad is on a small peninsula to the northeast. Search and enter it.

---------------------------------- Guild Galad --------------------------------
It seems that there was a Super Weapon in the freight cars and now Odessa has
it. They upgrade the hovercraft. Stay at the inn three times and talk to the 
woman outside. She''l tell you about a set of ruins on an ISLAND TO THE 
SOUTHEAST. Exit the town and get on the hovercraft. Head southeast and land on

Head north. Avoid the bats as you walk north. Detonate the rock and continue.

Crest, ShockSlide, and Blue Ribbon from the chests. Continue north. It's time
to fight Kanon again.

_________________KANON____
Strategies:
  As before, she's harder than anything you've fought yet. Build up Access and
  Combine levels, while using ReviveFruit and Big Berries. Lots of them.
__________________________

Kanon joins and Judecca closes the exit. Somehow they get Kanon to Holst. 
Marivel shows up to help out. Odessa attacks and Kanon fights Judecca.

_________________JUDECCA____
Strategies:
  Get the Force Level up and use Gat Level 1 with the Drive Cut and the battle 
  should be over quickly.

door. Navigate the levels and pillars to get the Trench Coat from the chest. 
Jump into a pit and head back through the door. Go through the south door. 
Navigate the pillars and get the D Bison from the chest. Go west. Check the 
console and head north. Throw a knife at the switch and open the door. Cross 
the gap and use Pooka to get the Duplicator from the chest. Jump down and cross

True to form, they pull out the Arms Killer.

_________________ARMS_KILLER____
Items: Bullet Load

Liz and Ard run off again. Search the terminal. Call the Chateau. Brad comes 
back for the attack. Now we get to see how Brad survived.

_________________FAKEBRAD____
Items: Uppercut

After a tearful interlude, enter the Chateau and talk to Amy. She'll tell you
that one Pillar is in the SOUTHEAST SEA in the Devil's Triangle, where the
water is dark in color. Another is SOUTHWEST OF GUILD GALAD, separates by a
mountain range. Number three is in the WOODS SOUTHWEST OF BASKAR. The last one
is on a BIG ISLAND NORTH OF [MERIA]. Go down to Irving's room and talk to 
Marivel. She will upgrade your Map Scope.

It's a good idea to stock up on Mediums and spells before tackling the towers.
Teleport to Guild Galad and use the duplicator on the magically locked door in 
the northern section of town to get four crests. Teleport to the Island Outpost
and fill your crests with Level 2 spells. You can ignore these locations until
later if you're aching to get on with the story. Just skip to the Diabalos P.
sections.

---------------------- Quick Level Gain and Duplicators -----------------------
Save before going to this next place, and don't use any Gimel Coins. Search the 
beach south of Sylvaland Castle to find a coin purse. The monsters here are 
pretty good for experience as well (remember that this is one of the places 
that Humpty and Dumpty are when you get Marivel). You can also steal Lucky 
Cards from the Melchom Liche, while the Imitators drop them. Pray that the 
Melchom Liche doesn't cast GellaCrazy (7000 pts to all members). Raise until
all characters are about Level 33 (about an hour). Make sure to equip the Odd
Shoes to increase the frequency of encounters. 

Next, head down south to the small island with a Meteorite Crater. Walk around 
in the center of the crater (on the red) to fight Babalou's. Steal Duplicators
from them. These are easy after the last place I had you gain experience. You 
can also Dig Out Heal Berries and antidotes when fighting Babalous. Get at 
least 12 Duplicators (they attack in 3's).

Teleport to the Hovercraft and head along the northern side of the inner sea.
Follow Kanon's meter to find the Shining Garden.

+----------------------------- Shining Garden --------------------------------+
| Items: Medium Star Roe                                                      |
| Enemies: Sadas, Brandt                                                      |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Move north and touch the teleport gem. Read the tablet and enter the northeast 
door. Then enter the northwest door. Then exit the door you just came in. Climb 
the stairs and look at the east wall. It spells out the word RAY. Enter the 
southern door and look at the pedestal. Answer the question: RAY. Continue 
south and get the Medium Star Roe. Exit the Shining Garden.

Get back in the hovercraft and continue along the parimeter of the inner sea.
get off at the next beach and search to find the Thunder Lion Cage.

+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Use Pooka to get the AlbumCoupon from the chest. If you need life, enter the 
door under the stairs. Go down the stairs and enter the southwest door. Climb 
the stairs and enter the eastern door. Use Pooka to get the crest from the 
chest. Flip the switch. Head back to the main room. Go through the southeast 
door. Go up the stairs and through the door. Flip the switch. Head back to the 
main room. Climb the stairs and enter the top most door if you have a 
Duplicator and get a Crest Orb from the chest. Go back and jump down to the 
lower level. Enter the door. Throw a knife at the switch. Go south to get the 
Medium Noua Shax. Exit the Thunder Lion Cage.

Teleport to the Odd Headquarters and give the album lady your AlbumCoupon. Now
you can access it from the menu (makes it really handy in finding weaknesses of
enemies in the Diablo Pillars).

Teleport to Guild Galad and get on the hovercraft to explore the outer sea. Go
to the island where Holst is and land. Search near the shore to find Dark 
Reason.

+-------------------------------- Dark Reason --------------------------------+
| Items: Medium Leita Salk                                                    |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Head south. Dash along the bricks and enter the southwest door. Enter the 
southwest door again. Enter the third door (southeast near middle). Navigate 
the falling blocks and enter the south door to get the Medium Leita Salk. Exit 
Dark Reason.

+------------------------------ Abandoned Icebox -----------------------------+

use Pooka to get the STR Apple and SOR Apple from the chests. Go west and 
northeast. REad the plaque and head west. Continue and then back track to get 
the Lucky Cards from the chests. Head back south. Step on the orbs in the 
following order:

+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Head up the stairs and touch the teleport gem. Touch the next one as well. The
key to this room is to set a lot of bombs so that the boxes roll on them. Touch
the teleport gem. Ditto on the next gem. Blow up all the boxes with bombs and
touch the gem. Touch the next gem. Clim
