UPDATES 30.04.2004: ----------- Version 1.0 of the document is online at http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/gamecube/game/32812.html. For now itīs including the main Walkthrough and some F.A.Q.s. Note that the walkthrough is based on two times of playing through for now. I will update it with new information as often I play the game again. 23.07.2004: ----------- Version 1.2 of the document is online. I changed the layout a bit and included more information on bosses as well as items to find. I put in the alternate route on Sylvarant and how to get Kratos back as well as new F.A.Q.s. More to come if my copy of the US Version has finally arrived. 26.07.2004: ----------- Version 1.22 is online. Just fixed the names of the main characters as well as some bad spelling. Also changed some info according to all who mailed me. Added some more bosses data as well. Still donīt have my US copy >_< 05.08.2004: ----------- First I wanted to make a major update after I beat the US game. But since I have so little time to play during the summer I decided to make a few smaller updates as I progress. This Version 1.25 includes spelling fixes and an updated walkthrough from Part I to Part II.1 ! 29.08.2004: ----------- Back from my holidays! Just a very small update. Updated the walktrough part II.2 only. 26.09.2004: ----------- Updated almost everything according to the US release now. Included item names and rewrote some silly parts. As Iīm very busy at working in my "real-life" these days it is rather improbably that I will update this again in the near future! ______________________________________________________________________________ 3. INTRO About this piece of work: ------------------------- First of all, I am from Germany and learned to speak and write in English during school so donīt expect very intelligent and clean language. As mentioned above I just played the game two times and took notes about what I did and where I went. When I got some time I wrote simple sentences with instructions forming some kind of walkthrough. You wonīt find any explanation about the progress of the story or about character development in here. This text will only concentrate on "where to go" and "what to do". In the F.A.Q. section I will answer some general as well as in-depth questions so expect some spoilers in there. Expect the guide become much more helpful and informative when I finally get my hands on the U.S. release of the game. ______________________________________________________________________________ About the game: --------------- During the game you control Lloyd and his friends on their quest to save two worlds at once. On your way you meet up to 8 playable characters (with Lloyd you come to 9 altogether) which all have their own feelings and background story. Unlike other Rpgs you are really drawn into the gameīs universe. During the game you have very much (voiced-) dialogue and several side-quests and optional events. Also expect story-twists and tragic events as the story progresses. ______________________________________________________________________________ 4. BASIC INFORMATION: The heroes: ----------- ==Lloyd Irving== The red-dressed junior swordsman is your main character. He lives along with his friends Colette and Genis in the peaceful village of Iselia. But on one day all of his life changes as he accompanies Colette on her journey. Youīll use him about 90% of the game although you donīt need to put him in your active party. He can equip a pair of swords and execute multi-hit attacks as well as special sword skills. ==Colette Brunel== This blonde girl is chosen to be the maiden to rescue the world. She is kind of clumsy and seems to be not very happy with her mission at first. She is the main character along with Lloyd and despite her cute appearance a good fighter as well. She uses Chakrams to throw at the enemies as well as attack skills. She can also learn Light-elemental based magic. ==Genis Sage== Lloyds best friend is the youngest member of the party and appears like some kind of mischief maker. In fact he is a friendly and helpful person and will do his best to help Colette on her quest. He gets very attracted to a certain pink-haired girl later. Genis is your usual black mage. While heīs not a strong physical attacker,his magic makes up for that. He can learn several spells of all kinds of elements. ==Raine Sage== Genisī older sister takes the role of a teacher in the beginning. Lloyd calls her Sensei through the game. As she and Genis have to live without their parents she took the burden of raising her brother for herself. She likes to freak-out sometimes if Genis dosenīt behave. Her hobbies are all kinds of relics. Raine is your white mage and can use helpful defensive magic along with some light-elemental attack spells. ==Kratos Aurion== The mysterious swordsman helps Lloyd in the events at Martel Shrine. He functions as Colettes bodyguard at first and has some good advice for Lloyd. Their relationship will change through the game and you can say that they become kind of rivals. Kratos is a strong fighter with his sword and shield. He learns sword skills as well as black magic. ==Sheena== Sheena is a ninja from Tethe'Alla and wants to assassinate Colette. Later she will change her mind and become a helpful friend of the others. Sheena is accompanied by her little spirit "Collin". She has basic fighting abilities but also supporting skills. She will challenge several spirits through the game which she can summon after they are defeated. ==Zelos Wilder== The worlds greatest heartbreaker meets Lloyd and his friends in Meltokio. He likes to score on women and is a friendly character. Nevertheless his sometimes childish behaviour isnīt that often appreciated by his friends. He can use the same equipment as Kratos and learns the same skills. Expect to have only one of them in your party at a time... ==Presea Combatir== While Presea looks like an innocent girl she is very strong and very introverted as well. She takes the job of her father as a lumberjack. She lives alone in a house in the village of Ozett and appears like a cold-hearted and sad person. She is a good fighter with the axe and uses special fighting skills for great damage. ==Regal Bryant== The last character that joins your party on Tethe'Alla. Regal is a mysterious middle-aged man with a dark past. As he has the burden of living with cuffed hands he relies on his feet in battles. He is a master of martial arts and can deal heavy damage with the plates on his shoes. He also can learns some healing spells to aid his allies which makes him a very good addition to your group. ______________________________________________________________________________ Some NPCs: ---------- ==Botta== The first bad guy you meet is Botta a leader of the Dezaian forces. He has the duty to hinder Colette on her quest and does so with the help of his soldiers. You have to fight him two times in the game. ==Remiel== As Colette and her friends visit the Shrine of Martel suddenly an angel-like person appears. Remiel tells Colette about her quest and grants her new power. You meet him again several times at the other shrines on Sylvarant. ==Yggdrasil== As your party arrives at the Tower of Salvation on Sylvarant the real bad guy of the game appears. I will not tell you more details as I want to keep major spoilers out of this document :-p ! ==Altessa== Altessa is an old man living in a house near Ozett on Tehte'Alla. At first he seems to be unwillingly to help you but later youīll visit him very often and many important scenes take place at his home. He lives together with a green-dressed girl who seems to be rather unimportant in the story... ==Mithos== After an accident in Ozett you find a blonde boy who befriends with your party and especially Genis. He travels with you for some time and plays a major role towards the end of the game. ______________________________________________________________________________ How to play: ------------ Like in other RPGs you can walk through the world visiting towns and dungeons, meeting people and fighting monsters. But ToS focuses more than other games on character development and storytelling. Whenever you see a little Z Button flashing in the corner of the screen, press Z to view a "Skit". Skits are short or longer speeches between the members of your party. Sometimes they chat and sometimes they talk about things to do etc. ______________________________________________________________________________ -------------- The game MENU: -------------- On the front page you see your party’s portraits. Push A over one of them to make this you "leading character". You will see this leading character on the field. Push Y to switch the order. The first four are your active party and will do the battles. The very first one will be your manual controlled character. Top row from left to right: --------------------------- ==TECH== Change the characters skills to use, see the number of how often you used a skill etc. Press R or L to switch between your characters. Push START to view the information about the selected skill. Push X to forget a skill and make room for new ones. Push Y to deactivate skills for your CPU controlled allies. ==UNISON== Change the skills you can use for Unisons attacks. To use Unison combos you need to equip the necessary skills for them. ==TACTICS== Select from three predefined tactics (the 3 options at the top). You can also edit these tactics and save them under new names. The graphic below shows how active/passive your characters will behave. ==STATUS== View information about the characters and change their current title. Titles can be acquired in events and determine which stats will rise at Level Ups. Push down the C-Stick to see the special abilities for the character gained from equipment. ==LOG== Here you can list information about the events occurred. Lower row from left to right: ----------------------------- ==ITEM== Check your actual items. Push L or R to cycle through several categories. Push A to use a selected item or X to throw it away. You can only carry 20 pieces per item! ==EX SKILLS== During the game youīll find ExGems form Level 1 to 4. Equip up to 4 per character and choose from 2 T-Type and 2 S-Type abilities. These give you some bonus abilities in battles. Some abilities will grant you EX Skills if combined right. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Example: Exskill A needs ability X and Y. | Equip both and fight one battle to get EX Skill A. | | Change your abilities to learn more. | Higher Level EX Gems will give you better abilities and | also mightier EX Skills. But beware: EX Skill A will only be active | if you keep abilities X and Y equipped (as for my example)! | Some EX Skills will use the same abilities though so it is possible | to have about 3 EX Skills activated in average. | (Sometimes more sometimes less) | -------------------------------------------------------------------- ==EQUIP== Change the equipment for your party. Push START to see which stats are changed by the items. ==COOKING== Select the character who should cook you a meal after a battle. When you meet the wandering Chef in the game he will grant you new recipes you can cook. Cooking after a battle will give you back more HP and TP and may change your status for the next battle. ==OPTIONS== Save your game or load your game. The third choice brings up the option screen. ______________________________________________________________________________ Controls in DUNGEONS: --------------------- In dungeons you can see the enemies and avoid them if you want to. You can also shoot them with the "Sorcerers Ring" by pressing X. This will stun them for some time. The power of the ring can be changed in the dungeons and will help you to solve the puzzles. Press Y for the menu and A to use objects. You can find many treasure chests in the dungeons as well. To save in a dungeon you have to find some special gem to activate the local save point. This gem will be carried by an enemy so make sure to fight every enemy walking around at least once. Push Z to view skits (Dialogue scenes) if you see a little Z flashing in the corner. ______________________________________________________________________________ Controls in TOWNS: ------------------ Walk around and talk to people. Buy items in shops or sleep at the Inn. Some blacksmiths give you the option to forge items by using the required other items. Push A to interact with people etc. Push Z to view skits if available. Push X to shoot your ring (has no real use in towns). ______________________________________________________________________________ Controls on the OVERWORLD: -------------------------- Push START to switch your mini-map from small to big or deactivate it. Push A near cities to enter them. Push Y to reach the menu screen. Push X to ride Noishu. Push Z to view skits (Dialogue scenes). Push R or L to rotate the camera. Push B at piers to use your boat (later in the game) Push B to start/stop flying your Rhea-Birds (later in the game) Push left or right on the digital controls to view the world map in full screen. You can find "Relationship Skit-Points" on the over world. These are highlighted objects and if you touch them a special skit will occur. In these you can rise or lower the relationship between Lloyd and one of your other members based on the answers you choose during the dialogue. On the map youīll see small as well as big enemies walking around. Touch them to engage them in battle. ______________________________________________________________________________ Controls in BATTLE: -------------------- Push START to pause the battle. Push A to attack with your weapon. Combine A with the analogue control for different hits. Try to achieve multiple hits. Your default attack with Lloyd for example should be "Forward + A" and then A two times. Try to get used to fight with your other characters manually as well. For example Kratos can hit even more often as Lloyd with correct timing. Push B to perform a skill with your character. You can assign 4 skills in the menu for "UP+B" "Down+B" "Left+B" and "Right+B". You can assign 2 more skills to the C-Stick but also 2 quick-skills for other allies. Just change the character when selecting the skill for "C upward" or "C downward". Push R or to change the targeted enemy. Push L to switch to "Reverse Formation". Push X to defend. You can also use achieve a special skill allowing you to defend better by creating a green sphere around your character. Push "Down+X" to use it. Push the analogue stick away from your targeted enemy to jump back. You should also push X when you got knocked down with correct timing for a quick recover. This also works after hit in air. Push Y to reach the menu. You can use items and escape but also change skills, order allies to use skills or change equipment as well as Unison skills. While in the menu you can push Z to switch the manually controlled character. Push START to switch the control of your first character form Manual to Semi-Auto and Auto. Push Z when your red Unison-gauge is full to launch Unison attacks. Note that your controlled character must be in range to the targeted enemy as the Unison will fail if you donīt hit the target. If you hit you can press A,B,Y,X in any order to launch the assigned skills. You can also choose the other skills by combining the buttons with the controller just like in regular attacks. After all attacks are used two characters will launch their special Unison combo. These combos consist of two skills which must be used by the characters. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Example: C1 uses skill X and C2 uses skill Y then the combo consisting | of the skills X and Y will be used. | If C1 uses skill Z instead of X then the combo won’t be used! | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Push the digital controls to choose from one of three tactics which you can modify in the tactics menu. After the battle you earn Exp. and Gald (Money). Also you fighting style will be rated and determines how many GRADE points you earn (up to +20) or even loose (down to -20) (if you perform poor). Push X to cook and regain more health. ______________________________________________________________________________ 5. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (GENERAL) ============================================================================== Q: How to play this on Multiplayer ? A: Insert 3 more pads in the Cube (or just 1 or 2). Then change the controls for your allies in their Skill Menus to Manual instead of Auto. Youīll see markers for 2P,3P,4P in battle then.
