The game begins with Prince Rhys standing in the center of
Landen Town. Today he is supposed to marry Maia, a woman with a mysterious
past. Enter
Landen Castle and speak
with Maia to begin the wedding.
In the
middle of the wedding a dragon flies in and proclaims "
Filthy
Orakians! Maia will not be yours!" then kidnaps Maia. Rhys tries
to take the army to search for her but the King tells him to "
Cool
off in the dungeon for a while!". A pair of soldiers grab Rhys
and toss him in the
dungeon. Luckily, the jail cell
has three
treasure chests containing a monitor, 200 meseta, and a knife.
After
opening the three treasure chests a young woman named Lena will sneak into
the
dungeon and free Rhys. Rhys will now be back in
Landen town, use the
money from the
dungeon to buy armor and save the game in the inn. Talk to
people in
Landen town to learn that "
A monster stole the Sapphire
and flew south, toward the island. Some say it was a man...."
Going south to will first lead to
Yaata
Town.
In
Yaata town there is an old man who owns a boat. However,
he won't sail to the island without a Cyborg on board. One of the
townspeople tells Rhys "
Walk across the bridge to reach Ilan."
Leave
Yaata and head to
Ilan to continue.
The townspeople of
Ilan have much information. One person
"
saw a dragon carry a woman toward the east. They entered a cave
and never came out." and another "
saw one of Laya's
people at a lake by the northeastern forest. The woman never blinked!".
The
eastern cave is sealed and Rhys can not enter. Go to the northeastern
forest, the woman standing there is Mieu. Talk to her and she will join
the group. Return to
Yaata
town, the old man will now take Rhys to the
island cave.
While sailing to the
cavethe old man shows Rhys a "
palacedown
there in the muck? Our oldest legend says the evil Dark Force is trapped
there by the sword of Orakio!" This
palacewill be very important
later in the game. Once arriving on the island enter the
cave. All the way
in the back of the
caveis a man named Lyle. He will give Rhys the sapphire.
Exit the
caveonce Rhys has the sapphire and sail back.
With the sapphire in hand, Rhys can now enter the
eastern cave in hopes of
finding Maia. The cave is actually a
passage to the world of Aquatica.
Something is very wrong in Aquatica though, the land is completely frozen.
The only town in sight is the
village of Rysel.
Speaking to the townspeople of
Rysel reveals two important clues, "
Some
people across the sea worship Laya" and "
Orakio's
fortresses once stood south of here. Legends mention a hidden gate near
their ruins". Since the sea can not be crossed the only
option is to go south and
enter the
passage.
Traveling through the
passage leads to the desert world of Aridia. The
only town is
Hazatak which can be found at the top of the small river to
the south. Use the monitor to guide Rhys and Mieu to the
town of Hazatak.
In
Hazatak Rhys will learn of a
weather control system to the east, and
cyborg who can repair it to the west. Rhys will also learn of "
an
old, crazy cyborg" wandering the desert. This cyborg is Miun, she
can not help Rhys but will be needed later in the game. Head west to find
the cyborg to repair the
weather
system.
In the
western cave Rhys finds Wren a
technical systems and combat
specialist. Wren can use some of the most powerful weapons in the
game. Take Wren east to the
weather control
system.
Standing at the entrance to the weather control system is Lyle. He has the
gem needed to repair the weather control system and will join the group. The
weather control system is located on the
first floor of the tower. Once Wren has restored
the weather system leave the tower and return to the world of Aquatica.
One of the townspeople of
Rysel is so
grateful to Rhys for restoring the
weather that he will allow Rhys to take his boat east. Sail east to arrive
on an island that is home to the
Orakian town of Agoe and the
Layan town
of Shusoran.
Agoe is to the east and
Shusoran is to the north.
Agoe is warring with the neighboring town of
Shusoran. Rhys learns from a
villager that "
Laya's people have an army of vile monsters. We
must fight them with cyborgs and machines, just as Orakio did 1,000 years
ago." Rhys also hears "
A young woman was taken into
Shusoran's castle " and "
Stories tell of monsters
appearing in fountains-- especially the fountains of Shusoran!".
Leave
Agoe and proceed north to
Shusoran town.
The
town of Shusoran is not very friendly to Rhys.
Just be thankful
you're with Prince Lylebecause the guards in the city will not attack
Rhys. Walk into a fountain to enter
Shusoran dungeon which leads into
Shusoran castle.
While traveling through
Shusoran castle Lyle will leave the group without explanation.
In the throne room of the
castle Lyle is standing in front of Lena. He
challenges Rhys to a one-on-one fight.
Since only Rhys can fight in this battle make sure he has a stash of
dimate in his possession before the fight begins. Regardless of how
powerful Lyle is in the game, in this fight he is not especially strong.
His attacks will typically do 8-15 hit points of damage, and should be
defeated in three or four rounds.
After the fight Lyle rejoins the group. Talk the
Lena and she says "
Return to Aridia and put my Moon Stone and
Lyle's Moon Tear into the satellite control
system. That will bring the
moon back to its proper place and open a land bridge from the rear gate of
this castle to where Maia is being held" then joins the group.
Leave
Shusoran castle and travel back to Aridia to the
weather/satellite
control tower.
The satellite control system is located on the
second floor of the tower.
Once Wren fixes the system the land bridge back on Aquatica will reform.
Travel all the way back to
Shusoran castle and take the northern exit
leading to
Cille.
Cille is also a Layan land, and the people don't care much for Rhys. Once
again, the presence of Prince Lyle prevents then from attacking the party.
Walk into the third fountain from the left to enter
Cille's
dungeon, which
will lead to the
castle. Inside the
castle Rhys finds the King of Cille
guarding Maia.
The King of Cille is guarded by six dryads. He also possesses the zan
technique which can do serious damage to the party. Wren is the only one
who can attack the King of Cille until the dryads are slain. The dryads
should be killed off in two rounds. Once they are gone every character should
attack the King of Cille except for using Mieu or Lyle to cast gires whenever
the group is hurt. Since Mieu has a more powerful attack use Lyle unless the
party is hurt badly and needs both to heal. Although the King has a strong attack he should be
defeated in only a couple rounds. He apparently only has 200-300 hit points
at the most.
You must now choose between Maia and Lena. Wed Maia and you shall
become king of Cille. Marry Lena and you shall be king of Landen and
neighboring Satera.
Marry Maia and continue to Ayn's Quest
Marry Lena and continue to
Nial's Quest
