The mystical power that uses the life energy, energi-
This power became the spark of conflict, and the great Energi War led to the loss of 90% of humanity.
Peace was thought to have come after 100 years of recovery by the survivors, but the Schwarzschild Empire's declaration of war on the world reignites the conflict.
Nations are rapidly occupied, and world conquest is now only a matter of time.
In such a time, from the town of Heiland in the Borderlands, a story was about to begin...

This section covers some hints and tips I can give you about the game, things I found that might not be so clear to others and that don't really belong in the main walkthrough section below.


1. When you get your only 'Luck Drink' MAKE SURE you DO NOT use it until the spot I say to use it in the Walkthrough below. It makes things much easier to farm for the best end Armor in the game, even though by that time you'll probably have the drop rate maxed out too in the 'Aid Store'.

2. Make sure to check out the Monster Catalogue in the Main Menu > System > Catalog. Here, you can see monster information but some of these monsters also have Hunt Tasks attached to them, once completed you can claim some nice items for them from this screen too, by pressing X.

3. In the Main Menu you can press X to open another menu that has 'Credit' tasks to complete, doing these will also net you some nice free items.

4. In Main Menu > Shop, there are three options here, the currency spent in these three sections are the 'Nebula Stones', you'll get these as rewards after some battles, even for completing a few things like side-quests, Credit tasks, and some monster kill tasks.

• Item Purchase - This is a store where you can buy some really useful items, like a key-item that will break after one use.. it raises your entire party if you are wiped.
  
• Roulette - You can spin 3 times every 24 hours of real life time for some nice items, it resets at 12.a.m each day.
  
• Aid Room - The most useful section, in here you can pay for permanent upgrades that you can then turn on/off at will. I HIGHLY recommend you work on getting 5 levels on the Item Drop one first, this will allow you to build up Gold reserves much faster than the Gold Drop one much sooner, especially if you get the 3rd rare drop from monsters.

5. When completing Side-Quests, you'll notice you won't get rewards, that's because they are hidden in a menu and have to be collected from there. Open Menu > Scenario > Quests. From here you can select each side-quest and claim the reward for it. You MUST do this for all of them for a certain Achievement for 'Alphadia 1'.

6. Making Money, the best way I have found is to save up 250 'Nebula Stones' (which you can get quickly from fighting using the x3 pedestal battle option and from quest rewards) and then in Menu > Shop > Item Purchase.. buy either an 'All-Intelligence Ring' or 'All-Ability Ring'. You can then sell this item for 250,000 Gold. This can be done as quickly as the game's first dungeon, it just takes a little time to save up 250 though, 25 battles using the x3 function on Battle Pedestals.

7. More Money, when you pick up 'Side-Quest #20' in Linbaught the 'Yucca' key item can be sold for 5G, it's not much but this can be got over and over, even after the side-quest has been finished. You can sell it to the woman upstairs from where you get the 'Yucca' item.

Please keep in mind this walkthrough was created playing the Normal difficulty for the game, not Easy or Hard. You can still use this Walkthrough on other difficulty settings but you'll have to take the initiative for monster battles and boss fights because they'll be more difficult to win.

Item(s): Heal Herb, Energi Drop, Poison Care, 7x Heal Drop, Slime Card, 1000 Gold.
Quest(s): 01 - Trading Cards. 02 - Lost Seed Bag.
Monsters: Unknown Soldier, Rosenkreutz, Captain Maxim.


ACHIEVEMENT - SUDDEN BEGINNINGS

Start a new game and watch Alphadia 1's Intro scenes.


After the lengthy scene two people show up and face off against a few, this really ain't a boss battle butt he only thing you should do here is allow them to defeat you, so don't waste any items or anything. After defeating you another scene takes place then you fight them again, this time kick their asses with your two OP characters. After another lengthy scene you gain control outside your house and your first quest 'Quest 01' is added to your Journal.


Okay, reenter Ash's house and head upstairs, open the chest for a 'Heal Herb', DO NOT talk to 'Karim' in the one room yet or you'll move the story on. Instead, explore the town and talk to all the people if you want to and make sure to pick up the other chests around town BEFORE you talk to 'Karim' and tell him you are ready to leave town.

• 2nd chest is just Northeast of Ash's house, 'Energi Drop'.
  
• 3rd chest is in the South part of town, in the Equipment Store, 'Poison Care'.
  
• 4th chest is located just Southwest of the Item Store, 'Heal Drop'.
  
• 5th chest in the Item Store, 'Heal Drop'.

Talk to the kid to the North of the Item Store, ask him what cards are and you'll receive the 'Slime Card', and then also pick up 'Quest 01 - Trading Cards'. Now head to your home, 2nd floor and talk to 'Kalim', tell him you're ready to leave. A scene plays out on the 1st floor and you receive '5x Heal Drop', and '1000 Gold'.


After receiving the items and Gold you are thrown into battle again with '3x Rosenkreutz', kill them all. After defeating them you are attacked by 'Captain Maxim', let him defeat you. A scene now plays out and you escape into the South part of town. (From this point on you can not enter the North section until later in the game.


ACHIEVEMENT - HASTY DEPARTURE

Took the two and went to the resistance's place.


If you didn't do this earlier, buy the two girls new robes in the Equipment Store, I HATE this game's buying/Menu system, it takes some getting used to with menus all over the place via buttons. Outside the Equipment Store, head South and speak to the woman outside the INN, pick up 'Quest 02 - Lost Seed Bag'. Save the game and leave town.



Item(s): 500 Gold, Hi-Elixir.
Quest(s): N/A
Monsters: Onion Picker, Slime, Werewolf.


Our next stop is to head through the 'Cave of Lhant', just to the North of Heiland, BUT let's get the seed quest done. Fight outside 'Heiland' and the 'Slime' monsters will drop 'Seed Bags', this is the item you need. When you have one, take it back to the girl in 'Heiland' and you'll receive '500 Gold' and 'Hi-Elixir'. Be aware, it takes a small while to get the item to drop, and the slimes appear more if you fight in the trees.The quest rewards are collected from the Quest Menu once you hand the quest in to the Quest Giver.


So, now we've done the side-quest, leave town, head all the way North to find the cave, SAVE, and then enter.

Items: World Map, Hi-Elixir, Energi Drop, Ruby.
Quest(s): N/A
Monsters: Lizard, Slime, Werewolf.


As soon as you enter a scene plays out. you rest and during that you'll be given the 'World Map', seems this is an invisible Key Item, it shows your location when outside if you press X. A handy feature of this map too is it allows you to fast travel to places you've visited, so keep that in mind too. The green glowing statue that appears near you is a switch to speed up encounter rates with the enemy or slow it down, useful if you want to speed through areas, or power level.


Okay, once you have control head to the door to the Northeast and go through, in this next area follow it forward and open the chest to the right for the 'Hi-Elixir'. DO NOT go South through the door yet, its a dead end for now, instead head back a little and go North, another scene takes place where the team splits up to find a pendant, but nothing is found.


When you have control again, head Left first and open the chest for a 'Ruby'. South of this chest is a glowing circle, stepping on this will recover your team, so this makes for a great place to level a bit if you want. Wen ready head back Right and open the chest near the water for an 'Energi Drop', then head Right through the door out to the World Map.

Head back to the guy at the dock and head Left to find a chest, open it for a 'Heal Drop'. Just to the Left of the entrance into the dock area is a chest, open it for an 'Hi-Elixir'. Head into the INN and speak to the guy in the room, after the chat open the chest in the next room for a 'Ruby'. In the Item Store are 3 chests but these can't be opened yet without a key.


Just to the Northwest of the Equipment Store is a guy, speak to him to trade the 'Slime Card' for the 'Centaur Card'. In the Weapon Store is a chest containing another 'Heal Drop'. Okay, leave Heim again.

ORACLE GEL

HP: 600 / EXP: 220 / Gold: 125

Okay, you'll take control near the centre of town, head Left to find a chest containing an 'Energi Elixir'. Behind the house just next to you is a girl, talk to her and trade her the 'Centaur Card' for the 'Skull Knight Card'. Just North of the girl, enter the 'Item Store' and open the chest for the 'Heal Drop' then leave the store.


Head to the Equipment Store and inside, open the chest for another 'Heal Drop', exit the store. DO NOT talk to the guy outside just yet, from this store head South, and enter the Left house. Open the chest in here for a 'Sapphire', then talk to the person here and get the side-quest '03 - A Boy's Wish'. Leave the house and head into the house on the Right.


In here, open the chest first for the 'Heal Herb', then talk to the kid for another side-quest, '04 - Young Love'. Leave the house and talk to the guy near the East gate and tell him your ready to continue on with the game.

DO NOT enter yet, fight around this grassy area for 'Pixie', they drop the item needed for the side-quest - 04 Young Love, 'Heliotrope' make sure you get at least 1 before SAVING and entering 'Vanessa's Lab'.

Items: N/A
Quest(s): 06 - Monsters in the Moonless Night!

As soon as you enter a scene takes place. Next head to the Northeast corner and head down the steps, down the next set also, then enter the room to the North, another scene takes place. Once you can head back up to the main floor and head to the Northwest corner, speak to the girl her and pick up 'Quest 06 - Monsters in the Moonless Night'.


By now you should have a few 'Garlic Stalks', if not then kill some 'Puppet' monsters on the World Map for one and return back to her to complete it. Once done head back to 'Celoop'.


Items: Energi Stone.
Quest(s): N/A
Monsters: Monster Raven (Boss).


A scene takes place when you enter the town. Rest at the INN if needed, SAVE and prepare yourself for a Boss Fight! Head to the stone pier to find 1417, after a small chat the Boss attacks.


MONSTER RAVEN
Element: Wind
HP: 1200 / EXP: 400 / Gold: 367
Drops: ?, ?, ?.
Fire Bomb works great on this boss, also any water magic too. If you want to though you can just auto the entire fight, it's easy to kill.


After the battle another scene takes place, you receive the 'Energi Stone'. You are attacked again but a knight kills it in 1 hit, then another scene takes place. When you have control again, head Northeast and enter the Right house and speak to the girl to complete her side-quest, she wanted the 'Heliotrope'. When you've done that, you can head back to 'Vanessa's Lab'.


Items: 6x Clear Ring.
Quest(s): 07 - Echoing Dust.
Monsters: N/A


Back at the lab, head back to the room down 2 floors taking the Northeast stairs and another scene takes place. Eventually Vanessa allows 1417 to join your team and you name her 'Enah'. Eventually you wake up in a small side room and you get a new achievement completed.



ACHIEVEMENT - WITH THE NEW COMPANIONS

Enah joins your party permanently.


Okay, as you try to leave the room a scene takes place between Ash and Shion, after this head back to Vanessa in her basement room and yet another scene takes place. You are asked to do a favour, during this you receive 6x 'Clear RIng'. After you gaion control, speak to 'Tessarosa' to learn about the 'Clear Rings', then talk to 'Vanessa' to imbue these rings with 1 of each element. MAKE SURE you only do 1 of each element and not any more.


Now, next head back up to the main floor and speak to the guy in the main classroom area to pick up another side-quest '07 - Echoing Dust', this quest is done in the next area we are heading to so bonus. When you're ready head to the 'World Map'.



Items: N/A
Quest(s): N/A
Monsters: Ahriman, Bomb Ball, Ghoul Knight, Gunk, Pixie, Puppet.


Head North back between the mountain, then follow the path Southeast until you can head around, cross a bridge, and head North, follow this grassy floor up to a lone cave, SAVE and then enter.

Items: Energi Element, Echoing Rust, Ruby, Heal Herb, Energi Stone, Energi Herb.
Quest(s): N/A
Monsters: Bloody Wolf, Blue Lizard, Mini Saurus.


Okay, as soon as you enter you'll see the green training device, do some training if you wish, be aware though.. some of these monsters hit hard so I wouldn't recommend doing the 3x battles IF you're under level 10. However, I DO recommend levelling all your characters with all the rings each to level 10, this will get them some nice levels (probably around level 20), also some nice Gold and Credits currency built up.. THIS of course is up to you, you don't have to do this if you don't want to.


Okay, follow the linear path around until you coem to the 3-way intersection, take the Right path heading North first to find a blue chest containing 'Energi Element'. Now head back to the intersection and follow the path South and down a floor. Head forward until you reach the pool of water, a scene takes place.


Explore the upper and lower paths heading West at this wall to find two chests, one contains the 'Echoing Rust' which is needed for a side-Quest, and the other contains a 'Ruby'. Now you have this rust item I HIGHLY recommend you go back and hand it in now, otherwise it'll be a long time before you can hand it over in 'Vanessa's Lab', once done return back to this pool.


From the pool, head East and then North around to see a chest, open it for a 'Heal Herb'. Head back slightly and then go North to see a shiny spot on the floor, examine it to pick up the 'Energi Stone'. This item is needed for another side-quest, s I recommend you go hand this in right now in 'Celoop' town, then return to this spot.


When ready to move on, head just north slightly from the shining spot and open the chest for an 'Energi Herb'. Now head back slightly and follow the path onward and head up the stairs. On this first floor, follow the path around and examine the green battle pedestal to unlock the extra settings. Now head South out the cave to the 'World Map' and SAVE.



Items: Raw Fish.
Quest(s): N/A
Monsters: Buffalo, Green Licker, Killer Crocodile.


From the cave entrance, head all the way North through the mountain range and then head Northwest to find the next town between some mountains, SAVE and enter. TRY and get a 'Raw Fish' off the 'Killer Crocodile' when making your way to the town, you'll need one for a side-quest.

Monsters: N/A


As soon as you enter a scene takes place. When you have control head into the Item Store just South of you, open the chest in here for a 'Heal Drop', leave. Enter the Equipment Store and open the chest for another 'Heal Drop'. Speak to the guy in this store to pick up 'Quest 05 - The Unknown Taste of Fish!', you should have picked up a 'Raw Fish' off the 'Killer Crocodile' monster on your way here so talk to the guy again and hand it over then leave.


Okay, speak to the old guy just to the Left of the Equipment Store and hand over the 'Skull Knight Card' for the 'Wyvern Card'. Now speak to the girl near the North gate and then open the chest nearby after the scene for an 'Energi Element'. Speak to the guy just outside the INN and then enter it after the scene.


In the INN, speak to the guy just near the entrance and he tells you of a free bed for the night. Open the chest just near the beds to the Right for an 'Energi Elixir', then head Up out of the INN into a small garden area. The guy stood by the beds in the INN will also upgrade your Rings for you if you have any of the upgrade stones available. In the garden area, open the chest for an 'Hi-Elixir'.


Now speak to this guy in this small garden for 'Quest 08 - Deception' to start.Speak to the woman outside the INN for some information on the thief. Head into the Item Store and head Right into the next screen, go down the stairs and follow the passage up a set of stairs, talk to the guy here to finish off this side-quest and get your stolen money back.


Well, apart from upgrading your gear the next thing to do is leave town via the North gate. At this point you should now only have side-quest 01 still active.

F1: As soon as you enter a scene takes place, you'll notice another levelling up pedestal in front of you, use it if you wish. In the centre of this floor is a locked room, you can only get inside there from Floor 7. So, from the entrance head East and follow the outer path around to the bottom-right stairs, picking up the two chests in the side paths for 'Heal Herb' and 'Energi Herb', then head up the stairs to the next floor.


F2: There's two locked doors on this floor, you can't open these from the side you're on, so head all the way North to find a chest containing a 'Heal Elixir'. Head back South and take the path going Right just above the locked door. Take the first path going South to find a blue chest containing an 'Energi Element'. Head back North and follow the path onward, then East and then follow the path South and then West to find the stairs, head up them.

F2: Open the blue chest for the 'Red Key', then head South out the gate, and then Left to the stairs, head up them.


F3: Head Right to the path heading North and go that way this time, ignore the jump-down tile you see and you'll come to a T-Section in the road. First head East to find 3x chests containing 'Energi Herb', 'Emerald', and a 'Heal Elixir'. Next head around West to find the next floor tile to jump down, (see pictures below), to Floor 2 again.


F2: Open the red chest for a 'Clear Ring'. Now make your way back up to Floor 3.


F3: Head back to the floor tile you just jumped down and then go West and then follow the path South to the next set of stairs, head up them.


F4: On this floor are more tiles that you can use to jump down BUT don't bother, they are fake and you end up back at Floor 1 outside the locked room. So, from the stairs follow the Left side wall all the way around to a single chest, open it for the 'Energi Herb'. Now head back a little to the path heading West near the healing circle and follow it to the stairs up, head on up to Floor 5.


F5: Okay, head all the way Right, then North then Left to the second T-Section path choice. Head South to two possible floor jump tiles. The Right one is fake, so drop down the Left one.

MONSTER FALCON
Element: Wind
HP: 3000 / EXP: 700 / Gold: 360
Drops: Energi Element, Energi Element, ?.
The boss is Wind element so it is weak towards Fire, so make use of Fire skills, and other skills for damage, keep on top of healing too and you should be fine for this easy battle.

After the battle, a small scene takes place, then open all 4x brown chests first for 'Energi Herb', 'Heal Herb', 'Energi Herb', and 'Energi Elixir'. Now open the blue chest for the 'Energi Stone'. As you leave through the South door you are once again attacked by more 'Rosenkreutz'.


PRIVATE 1ST CLASS
Element: Void
HP: 260 / EXP: 5 / Gold: 72.
Drops: ?, ?, ?.
These three soldiers are easy, just use regular attacks and they'll fall soon enough, no point in worrying about tactics for these.

After the battle you get a new Achievement, and a scene plays out AND your handy Warp function to other areas fast gets disabled now. Head South out of the tower to continue on.

NOTE: This place has no random enemy encounters but it has a few boss fights, so make sure you're ready for them with the best gear you can afford and item stocks. My levels for all characters at this point is 60, and all Energi Skills at 99. At some point during this section you will not be able to use Karim and Shion in your main team so i'd recommend switching them out now and unequip them of any Energi Rings or Accessories they have equipped because you won't be able to until later.

As soon as you enter a scene takes place. Head left down the stairs and left into the next area. Head left after the scene in this new area and into the secret passage area.


Okay, remember this 4-way junction, time for some treasure hunting. From the entrance head North to the stairs and head down them.

Follow the path onward to an area with three rooms, open the red chest in the middle room for a 'Clear Ring'.

From here, head all the way South to the stairs and head up them to the next floor. Head North to the stairs and then go West to a room with a chest in, open it for an 'HP Machina'. Now head back slightly to the stairs and head up them to reach the roof area. Go as far West as you can and head down the stairs that you come to.


Head to the stairs at the very South, from them go West and then North to reach more stairs going down, head down them, and down another set of stairs too. Head North slightly, East slightly, then head South and follow the path West to a small room containing a blue chest with a 'Phoenix Plume' in it.


From this blue chest head as far East as you can go to find some stairs heading down in the Southeast area of this floor, head down them. Search the chest just South of the stairs (behind the wall) to find an 'Hi-Elixir'. Head back upstairs, East to the junction, North to the next junction and from there follow the path East and then North to find another set of stairs, head up them.


SAVE, first head South (DO NOT GO NORTH YET!) and then West to find a chest in a small passage containing an 'Energi Element'. Okay, SAVE, then go back a screen and go all the way North to encounter your three consecutive Boss fights.

RED DRAGON

HP: 23000 / EXP: 7000 / Gold: 2808.

When ready, speak to Tessarosa who's stood next to Vanessa, this will unlock access to the basements of this lab and also the Energi Lab where we will be able to get some nice items.

Element: Void
HP: 30000 / EXP: 12000 / Gold: 3600
Drops: ?, ?, ?.
Victor ain't really weak against much, I basically put it on auto and had my team slap him into next week, melee attacks work fine on him at this stage if you're level 65+.


After the battle, the barrier stopping you from entering Maxim's Castle is broken. Leave the tower and head back to Vanessa's Lab. You will also gain a STEAM Achievement at this point.



ACHIEVEMENT - WITH THE DEATH OF FRIEND

Defeat Victor in Austral Tower.


Item(s): N/A
Quest(s): N/A
Monsters: N/A


Talk to Vanessa, a lengthy scene takes place. Next, talk to her again and this'll start off your final few locations of the game. Now talk to everyone from your party around the base. Karim is in the same room as you, Eclair is in the room above yours. Wied is down a floor and to the left of the stairs. Enah is North of Wied in the side room. Shion is in the room where you talked to Vanessa.


After talking to Shion the scene switches to everyone in the same room. We finally get our final objective, to defeat Maxim. Before we do this though it is time to fetch some chests and gather everyone's BEST weapons and gear. So first head to 'Energi Lab', SAVE, and enter.



ACHIEVEMENT - TO THE FINAL BATTLE WITH ENTRUSTED THOUGHTS

Gained after talking to Vanessa in the lab.


Item(s): Hi-Elixir, Energi Elixir, 2x Energi Element, EP Machina, HP Machina, AGL Machina.
Quest(s): N/A
Monsters: Energi 1119, Energi 1222, Energi 1315.


Head to the basement, be aware the monsters here are tough, tougher than the ones in Austral Tower. I'm not going to give directions here, you can't get lost. Explore this entire basement for the items listed above. Activate the Battle Pedestal just South of the Basement stairs. Once you've found all 7 chests, SAVE, then leave.

Okay, I think now is the time to hunt for the best Armour in the game for your characters. You will want to be around level 80+ for this on "Normal" difficulty as they can take a few hits to defeat, and they hit hard too, not to mention AOE. This might take a while to farm a piece for everyone due to other local area monsters appearing at this location also.

So to reach it, head Northeast from 'Earth Shrine' slightly using your Airship to find the location, see the picture below for exact place.



Once there, you have to move around in this small location to encounter the enemy. There are two specific monsters you are looking for that drops the armour you need, see the pictures below.



Some useful tips here..

• 1. Use the 'Luck Drink' that you get 1 of at the beginning of the game, so hopefully you read my tips at the top of the guide before playing so you knew to keep it for this precise farm. I have to be honest though, the grind without using it took me about 30 minutes to get everyone a piece of gear.
  
• 2. Making sure you have the Shop > Aid Room buff - Rare Drop Rate Up maxed out to 50% and turned on for the grind, this helps a lot also.
  
• 3. I found spamming 'Omegadia' works wonders here, I was wiping all monsters in 3 casts and they weren't even managing to hit me. If i needed to refill my magic I went to the nearby town. Once i decided to use all my stat potions that I saved up, I was killing all of them in 2 casts or super quick using melee attacks.

Here's the stats for the two pieces of armour you are hunting for..

• Angel Dress - DEF +200 - Drops off Hraesvelgr.
  
• King Mail - DEF +220 - Drops off Ragnarok. Can gain one for completing Side-Quest #11.

NOTE: The King Mail ain't the strongest DEF armour in the game, that would be the 'God Mail', but with only 1 available in the game and everyone able to equip it you need to choose wisely who to put it on.


CREDIT: I want to credit 'Chroma of Raine' here for the location information that I have shared above, I highly doubt I would have found this myself until much, much later no doubt, if at all. It certainly saved me a lot of time scouring the world for any other hidden secrets the game has.

Okay, so by now you should have the 'Leo Gemstone' from earlier, we need this to open the door at the next location. I'm hoping you got the teleport earlier too for the Ancient Mine, if not then you need to go through Energi Mime Ruins > Schwarz Pass, then from the Pass's entrance/exit head Southwest to reach the Ancient Mine. When at the entrance, SAVE and enter. You will absolutely want to be around 70+ for this place on "Normal" difficulty settings.



Item(s): Ragnarok.
Quest(s): N/A
Monsters: Barbados, Dantalion., Guardian IV (Boss).


F1: Examine the locked door just North of you to open it and then activate the Battle Pedestal. Make your way around the dungeon area, clockwise, to the stairs and head down them.


F2: Follow the path to the very bottom to reach a red chest, SAVE before opening it, the chest is a trap that'll spring the area's Boss Battle.



GUARDIAN IV
Element: Fire
HP: 80000 / EXP: 30000 / Gold: 14400.
Drops: ?, ?, ?.
Rec. Lvl: 70+
I recommend melee attacks and Heal 4 or 5 for healing. The boss uses an AOE skill that drops your HP a lot so be prepared to use heal straight after. If you're unlucky he'll use the same skill twice, so hopefully you have a spare 'Full Recovery Orb' in your key items, in case.

After the battle you will have Wied's best weapon, Ragnarok, make sure to equip him with it straight away and also SAVE. Now head back to Vanessa's Lab.



Item(s): Aries Gemstone.
Quest(s): #24 - Legendary Weapons 2.
Monsters: Same as previous monsters.

Head to the Basement again and speak to the guy there to end the Side-Quest. Check the reward from your Quest Menu to receive the 'Aries Gemstone'. Time to do the next weapon hunt.

Activate the Battle Pedestal and then SAVE. Open the blue chest just South of you for the 'Energi Element'. Head East to the 3-way intersection, first head North slightly then West to the cave, go in and open the blue chest for another 'Energi Element'.


Leave the cave and head back East, head to the Northeast and go up the stairs and follow the path around to find a red chest, SAVE, then open it for the 'Lord Armor' and a boss fight.



GUARDIAN I
Element: Wind
HP: 75000 / EXP: 30000 / Gold: 14400.
Drops: ?, ?, ?.
Rec. Lvl: 75+
I recommend melee again, and heal when needed. If you are lucky you'll beat this boss without having to use an orb. It makes use of that dreaded AOE skill too, so be careful.


After the fight, equip someone in your current party with the new shiny armour. Now head back to the floor below and head to the stairs to the very South. Follow this path onward and down some stairs to find a red chest, SAVE, then open it for the '7th Sign', you won't fight the boss here as we fought it opening the armour chest instead, which if you didn't and come here first you'll fight the boss here at this chest. Equip the new weapon onto Eclair, SAVE, and then make your way back to Vanessa's Lab again.



Item(s): Centaurus Gemstone.
Quest(s): #25 - Legendary Weapons 3.
Monsters: Same as previous monsters.

Head to the Basement again and speak to the guy there to end the Side-Quest. Check the reward from your Quest Menu to receive the 'Centaurus Gemstone'. Time for the next weapon hunt.

Follow the path to the Northeast, back around to the the Southeast and then follow the path East, North, and then Northwest to a set of stairs, head up them. Head all the way East to the 3-way intersection and head South to reach the locked gate. Examine the gate to open it and head down the stairs.


Head East and around to the blue chest, open it for an 'Energi Element'. Now carry on West to the stairs, head down them. Head East until you hit the wall, you'll see a blue chest on the other side, head all the way North, East and then South to reach it for another 'Energi Element'. Now head back up the stairs you just came down, on this floor head back around to the stairs heading up a floor but don't go up them.

GUARDIAN II
Element: Fire

Drops: ?, ?, ?.
Rec. Lvl: 78+
I recommend using Water skills on this boss, Crystaldia, and heal when needed.. UNLESS your melee skills do better damage, if they do then use melee instead and only heal when needed.


After the battle a scene plays out that incorrectly tells you to take the gloves.. LOL! Now, head back up the stairs to the previous floor, and head all the way West and take the stairs up. Follow the path East and South to the path heading back West and follow it to the end to another set of stairs, take them up a floor. Head East to a 3-way intersection, head South and continue East on this path to stairs, head up them.


Head East slightly and at the 3-way intersection follow the path to the Northeast to find the final chest in this dungeon, open it for the 'Heaven's Bagh Nakh' gloves for Enah, equip them now. Okay, that's all the treasures for this place got, so now head back to Vanessa's Lab.



Item(s): Capricornus Gemstone.
Quest(s): #26 - Legendary Weapons 4.
Monsters: Same as previous monsters.

Head to the Basement again and speak to the guy there to end the Side-Quest. Check the reward from your Quest Menu to receive the 'Centaurus Gemstone'. Time for the next weapon hunt.

Vanessa's Lab[/h1]

Monsters: Same as previous monsters.

Head to the Basement again and speak to the guy there to end the Side-Quest. Check the reward from your Quest Menu to receive the 'Aquarius Gemstone'. Time for the next weapon hunt.

Item(s): 2x Energi Element, God Axe, God Mail.
Quest(s): #28 - The Ultimate Title.
Monsters: Guardian V (Boss), Hades, Siren.


F1: Open the door just to the North of you and then activate the Battle Pedestal also. Head all the way West to find a blue chest containing an 'Energi Element'. From this chest head directly North to find a set of stairs heading down, go down them.


B1: Follow the path onward, Northeast, to some stairs, head down these too.


B2: Head West and then South down to another set of stairs, go down them.

I recommend using Fire skills on this boss, Mini Big Bang, and Heal when needed.. UNLESS your melee skills do better damage, if they do then use melee instead and heal when needed.


After the battle a small scene takes place, make sure to equip the new weapon too. No w make your way back up to the entrance of the dungeon but do not leave yet, we have more chests to get.


F1: So, from the entrance head all the way North, then follow the path West to the stairs heading down a floor, head down them.


B1: Head all the way East to the blue chest and open it for the 'Energi Element'. Now continue on and go down the next set of stairs.

Quest(s): N/A

Head to the Basement again and speak to the guy there to end the Side-Quest, he also tells you of two more types of weapons, we'll get to those soon enough. Make sure to collect the side-quest reward for the one you just completed.



NOTE: You can now challenge 'Apocalypse' if you wish, but you'll probably not be able to defeat him. See the section at the bottom of the guide for more information about taking on this challenging boss.

Item(s): N/A
Quest(s): N/A
Monsters: Colonel, Ghost King, Odin.

F1: As soon as you enter a scene plays out between your party. I will call this area the 'Main Entrance Hall, remember this. Head North to the locked door and activate the Battle Pedestal. We need to now gather 4 keys around the castle sections to be able to open this door. We have 4 ways to choose, 2 on the West, and 2 on the East.


Take the lower exit on the West side first to go into a courtyard area, open the chest here for an 'Ether Heal'. Now go back a screen and take the stairs down on this West side above you.


B1 (West): Head East to the gate and then South to the switch pedestal, activate it. Now head back up to the Main Entrance Hall.


F1: Now head to the East side and exit to the courtyard on the lower path. Open the chest here for the 'Blue Key'. Head back and take the stairs down on the upper path of the East side of this floor.


B1 (East): Follow the path around to the blue chest, open it for the 'Red Key'. Now, head back to the Main Entrance Hall and head down the stairs on the West side again.


B1 (West): Head East and take the 2nd path going South, then the 1st path East to a switch pedestal, turn it off. Make your way around to the brown chest just below you and open it for an 'Ether Energi'. Head back to the switch, from there go North, West, all the way South, and follow the path onward to some stairs, head down them.


B2 (West): Head all the way North to the blue chest and open it for the 'Silver Key'. Now make your way back to the switch pedestal on the floor above.


B1 (West): Turn the switch pedestal back ON, and then make your way to the stairs in the Northwest corner but DO NOT go up them. Head all the way South and then East to some stairs, go up them to Floor 2.


F2: Head all the way South, East, then North to find two chests, open them for a 'VIT Machina', and the last 'Phoenix Plume'. Now continue on North and around to another set of stairs, take them up to Floor 3.


F3: Ignore the switch just above you, follow the path South and all the way around to another set of stairs, take them up to Floor 4.


F4 (Outside): You'll be on a ledge on the outside of the castle, follow the path around and down a set of stairs to Floor 3.


F3: Follow the path around until you come to some stairs in the middle of the area, take these down to Floor 2.


F2: Open the chest in the Southwest corner of the room for an 'Ether Heal', then head back up to Floor 3.


F3: Head West South, then East into a red floored room and open the chest for a 'Heal Elixir'. Now carry on South and around to some stairs, head up them to Floor 4.


F4 (Outside): Again you'll be outside of the castle on a ledge, follow it onward and open the blue chest you find for the 'Gold Key'. Now we have all 4x Keys we can open the door in the Main Entrance Hall, so head back there but DO NOT open the door yet. We have collected the last 'Phoenix Plume' so we can go hand that in to finish 'Side-Quest #11', finally.



Item(s): 20000 Gold, King Mail.
Quest(s): N/A
Monsters: N/A


Head into the house just to the Northwest of the entrance, speak to the woman in here to finish off the quest. Make sure to claim the reward from the quest menu screen once completed for the extra 'King Mail', and '2000 Gold', which is a key item and needs to be sold for the amount.


Time for a quick check on a few things and where you should be right now..

• Only 1 Side-Quest left to do, #28 - The Ultimate Title. (Defeat Apocalypse)
  
• You should have 231 Chests opened, out of 238 max. (Last 7 are in Maxim's Castle - Part 2)

F1: Activate the Battle Pedestal then head East and follow the path to the stairs, head up them to Floor 2.


NOTE: I'd do some levelling on the battle pedestal above, it's a good spot due to the healing circle a few rooms back. I would also recommend you try to get all the 'Aid Room' options maxed in the SHOP, the added bonus to Energi Skills and STR helps a lot for the last few bosses and Apocalypse.

F2: Stick to the wall on your Left and follow it around the area (to miss traps) to a chest, open it for an 'Ether Energi'. Continue following the wall around and into a long room, at the bottom is another chest, open it for a 'Heal Elixir'. Now head down the path on the Left of this room to reach a boss blocking the stairs, defeat it and head up them.



RED DRAGON
Element: Fire
HP: 23000 / EXP: 3500 / Gold: 1404
Drops: ?, ?, ?.
The boss is weak against Water, I used 1x Crystaldia and killed it in 1 hit, so use Water Enersi Skills and heal if need be to take it down.


F3: Follow the path to the East and head down the stairs to Floor 2 again.


F2: Head Right and then North, go down the stairs to Floor 1.


F1: Head Left on the bottom path and open the chest for an 'Ether Energi'. Now head back up two floors (to Floor 3) and head back to the 3-way junction, see picture 2 below.


F3: From the junction, head West then North sticking to the Left side wall to miss the traps, then head East, South, West, SAVE, and then North into the room for another Boss Fight. After the fight head up the stairs.



CHIMERA
Element: Wind
HP: 26000 / EXP: 4250 / Gold: 1728
Drops: ?, ?, ?.
The boss is weak against Fire, I used 1x Mini Big Bang and killed it in 1 hit, so use Fire Energi Skills and heal if need be to take it down.


F4: Follow the path to the West to reach a series of rooms stuck together, to get through them head South one room, East a room, then North a room to find a chest, open it for an 'Ether Heal'. Now go South two rooms, and East one room to another chest, open it for another 'Ether Energi'. Now head North two rooms and then follow he path East then South to another Boss Fight. After the fight head South then West to the stairs, open the chest here for an 'Ether Energi', then head up them to Floor 5.



STRATAVIS
Element: Wind
HP: 32500 / EXP: 10000 / Gold: 2880
Drops: ?, ?, ?.
The boss is weak against Fire, I used 1x Mini Big Bang again and killed it in 1 hit, so use Fire Energi Skills and heal if need be to take it down.


F5: Follow the path North, West, then South to the red chest, open it for the 'Energi Mail', and that should be ALL 238 chests found and opened in Alphadia 1. Okay, head back to the stairs and follow the path South, then West, activate the Battle Pedestal and SAVE, then go North for the final scenes and three continuous Boss encounters.



[/previewimg]MAXIM
Element: Dark
HP: ? / EXP: ? / Gold: ?
Drops: ?, ?, ?.
Maxim is weak against Light, 1x Aura or Holy should kill him, so use Light Energi Skills and heal if need be to take him down. After the battle he will transform and challenge you again.



[/previewimg]NECRO MAXIM
Element: Dark
HP: ? / EXP: ? / Gold: ?
Drops: ?, ?, ?.
Maxim is weak against Light again so use Aura or Holy to kill him, so use Light Energi Skills and heal if need be to take him down. After the battle Maxim will transform once more for a final battle, this is tougher than the previous two by far.



ETERNAL MAXIM
Element: Dark
HP: ? / EXP: ? / Gold: ?
Drops: ?, ?, ?.
Maxim is weak against Light so use Light Energi Skills and heal if need be to take him down. After the battle Maxim will transform once more for a final battle, this is tougher than the previous two by far. If this boss lasts too long he will cast Omegadia, which then you'll definitely be in trouble unless you have some of those orbs from the Shop to res without the boss resetting. It took me 5 casts of Aura to kill him, which I think added up to around 120,000 Health total.


CONGRATULATIONS! Now sit back and watch the ending. The game will start into Alphadia 2 also if you played Alphadia 1 first. On top of this you will gain an Achievement. Make sure you save to a different save file location when Alphadia 2 starts with Leon.

ACHIEVEMENT - WITH THE HOPE FOR FUTURE!

Reach Alphadia 1's ending.

Here's a complete list of every weapon in the game. I will set these out into groups sorted by character name rather than 1 huge list, it'll help when searching for a specific person's weapon. I will also set them by power order of the weapon. Any items bought will only list the area/town where you can first buy it, i'm not going to list every place for each. I also recommend you check out the monster bestiary in game because some monsters drop weapons too, this could be a cheaper way to get them for you if you don't like the grind for Gold.

So you're up for challenging the toughest boss in the game, it's even tougher than the final boss. Unless you are level 99 and have all the Energi Skills at max level, and also have everything maxed in the Shop > Aid Room, I wouldn't even bother attempting it yet as it'll no doubt wipe you.

To get this fight flagged you will need to have completed all five Weapon Hunt sections above and got the cutscene as you leave Dyad Hollow. You will then need to fly your Airship over a small island to the Southeast of Nolthia where you'll get a prompt to start the battle or not.


BE PREPARED!
This battle is LONG! so make sure you have enough Hi-Elixir to keep raising your dead, 99 will be enough, trust me you'll need them, unless you're going to risk Raise spells. I would also say make sure you have a few 'Full Recovery Orb', maybe between 5 to 10, these will allow you to raise the entire party if they are wiped with max HP/EP and no reset to the boss' HP. You can buy these from the Shop > Item Purchse for 100 Tokens each, a nice stock of All Heal Materia from the same store wouldn't hurt either for extra heals on entire party.




The first thing you should do is have everyone each use Dark Curtain on themselves. Dark Curtain will make it so no one can use Energi Skills, including the boss, thus his damn stupid AOE's won't Overkill you. Keep an eye out at the bottom of your screen for the buff above each character's information HUD. IF that buff disappears, usually every round or two, be sure to recast Dark Curtain. The main thing here is to keep that buff on your party members at all times.

Now some people will say spam him with Omegadia, it does 9999 damage per cast, NO IT DON'T! Not unless you have levelled your MND stat to 999, or using a trainer for stat boosting by cheating. At this point your STR is probably higher, so melee attacks is the way to go in my opinion, especially when attacks can hit twice.

Once the boss' HP is down quite low he'll start to spam Omegadia, at this point all hell breaks loose and expect to probably die on your first attempt, and maybe 2nd, 3rd, and 4th try, it's ridiculous 'cos you don't get a chance to hit him so you're constantly defending against that damn skill and nothing else, over and over, BORING! At this point, if 2 of your team members die then it's probably game over at that point.
