Items found: 200G, 120G, 80G, 5 Aquasols, Aquasol S, Eyeball, Mermaid Tear, Power Ring, RPS Badge, Spider Web.
When you start the game, you watch an FMV and some introduction scenes, then you can move around in Fei's room. Search under your bed to get 200G. After this go to the other room (don't go up the stairs), rotate the camera and get a spider web. Then get 2 Aquasols inside the barrels and go up the stairs.
Speak with Timothy (the macho guy with funny hair) and he'll ask Fei to visit Alice. Before exiting the house, Dan stops Fei and wants to have a serious conversation outside with Fei (Leave that for later). Head to the village consultant village, you can learn lots about fighting, meet Lucca from Chrono Trigger (Watch out, she'll charge for her teachings :P) and save the game. Talk to the guy explaining Abilities and he'll give 80G for listening to him.
Go to the next house and challenge the RPS player. Win him 5 times in a row to get the Mythical RPS Hero badge. Now go down the stairs and tell the old lady you like Lahan to get 120G. Now go the middle of the town and jump on the well until you get an Eyeball, an Aquasol S and a Power Ring. Talk to the cow lady near the well and say no to get an Aquasol. Talk to the old man cropping the fields twice to get 2 Aquasols, then check the bar. Tell the drunkard "drinking won't help matters" and he'll give you a Mermaid Tear. Now that you're done getting items, go talk to Dan, then to Alice. Leave town and head north to the Mountain Path.
Items found in the path: Bird Egg, 2 Aquasols, Spider.
Items found in Citan's house: Midori's Ring, Aquasol, 120 G
Move up to the tree near the sign and jump on it to get a bird egg. A chicken will keep taking 1 HP of you every time you refuse to give the egg back.
To your northeast is an aquasol. Then head back west and go east, circle around and after talking to the kid jump off the ledge. After you've crossed the bridge, circle to the level below to get another Aquasol. Before exiting the area, check a nearby tree and jump on it to get a spider.
When you reach Citan's house, go to the back door and jump behind the flowers to get Midori's ring (It won't show up on the item list, but you have it.). Then go up the ladder and check one of the doors halfway to get an Aquasol (A chicken will come out of it). Then head to the telescope, jump to the small roof to your side and check the chimney for 120 G. Now go to the main entrance and talk to Yui and Midori (Yui will bake the bird egg for you). After that, head to the other house with a land crab, talk to Citan then touch the music box.
After a dinner scene, Fei leaves. Save your game before the exit (Don't worry, there are no monsters now) and you'll reach Lahan. You'll watchsome dramatic events and fight an easy battle against a gear, then you can leave the area and head to the Blackmoon Forest.
Items found: 2 Aquasols, Survival Tent, Arcane Rod
First, head southwest until you reach a crossroad, then head to the east path. Jump over the 2 rocks to reach the trunk. The jump down to another trunk on the southwest to get an Aquasol. Now go southwest yet again, jump the roots and reach a Memory Cube. Continue on the ledge and after killing another group of Hobgobs, jump back to the ledge to evade the big boulder. Follow the path where the boulder was and you'll watch a small FMV.
Fight the 2 Forest Elfs and after another scene, proceed to the next area. Go South until you reach a sign, then head Southwest and jump to get an Aquasol, then go back to the sign. From there, head East, then climb the ledge to reach another sign. Head South and before jumping to the Memory Cube, turn West and jump down to get an Arcane Rod. You'll have to go back all the way and this time jump to the Memory Cube and get a Survival Tent. Follow the bridge and youll fight 2 Forest Elfs and 2 Dive Bombers. After watching more Anime and more scenes, follow after Elly to meet your First Boss, Rankar.
The first round is impossible, just wait until you get some help. After climbing on a gear, though, it's just a matter of patience...keep hitting it until it falls. After parting ways with Elly, Citan joins the party and you can head South to The City of Dazil.
Items found: None
Visit the town, buy some equipment and items if necessary. Meet Big Joe for the first time in the bar, then ask about a sand buggy in one of those houses. Then head to the Ethos workshop. After Citan asks about the parts, exit the workshop and watch a scene. After that the buggy will be back! Return to the house you went earlier and Citan will leave the party. Go to the bar, rest and save. Take this opportunity to level up and train deathblows before going after Citan. When you're ready, exit town and head into the Desert.
Follow the gears direction on the desert. Then you'll see the scene from the image above, then follow their direction again until you get a motorbike. After you recover Weltall you'll have to fight 2 easy Troopers. After an easy win, Grahf shows up and summon a Wyrm Boss.
Don't use Physical Attacks, just keep using Guided Shot and the Wyrm will be down quite easily...after that, more Gears show up and you are forced to surrender. On the transport, save your game, talk to Citan twice, then go to sleep.
Items found in the Transport: Extra Ar +1, Leather Vest, Rosesol, Survival Tent
The transport is covered with quicksand and you must be quick to get all items (or you could also let yourself be drown...you'll restart from your cell but carrying the items you got). Exit the Cell, go East, then South to get a Survival Tent. Then go back west past your cell, then South to get a Rosesol. After that go South and climb down the ladder. On this floor you'll fight some Aveh Corporals (notice that you and the enemies get damaged by a "Fire from the Engine Room!" every 2 turns...The engine room must be REALLY big, because no matter how long you stay, it won't explode :P) and the floor will crumble, so keep running as much as you can. Run East, climb the ladder to the North and continue running North, then West to find an Extra Ar +1. Go all the way back to the ladder and climb the South ladder this time. Get the Leather Vest and run back East to the upper floor. Save your game, then circle around the crates to get outside the Transport.
Go through the Crane evading the bars (or jumping them). Fei won't fall, but if you take too long he'll have to start all over from the Cell (In that case, run East to another ladder directly to the upper floor before it's blocked by sand. You don't have to worry about getting the items all over again). After reaching Weltall, Bart will show up and attack you.
Use Guided shots or Triangle, Square attacks. Before you can actually finish the battle, you'll both sink into the Stalactite Cave.
Items found: Gold Nugget, Iron GWhip
After Bart and Fei introduce themselves and a scene between Citan and Sigurd occurs, you can move around with the 2 gears. Head South, then West until you find a big rock and you'll shove it off. Follow the passageway and head South to get a Gold Nugget, then West to another entrance. Cross the long corridor, then cross the bridge on the next area. When you reach the standing Gear, head West, then North and jump 3 platforms to get an Iron GWhip. Go back to the Standing Gear and head SouthWest to the next area. After jumping a few platforms, use the Memory Cube and get outside the Gears to enter the cave.
After some scenes with Bal, talk to him again to upgrade your gears (I recommend leveling up until you can get all the upgrades). Go back to the Standing Gear area and head to the platform where you got the Iron GWhip and turn off the sensor on the second platform. Now go back to Bal's Cave Area and head West, then jump all the way North until you find a passage to heading East. Notice that in the next area you'll be above the Standing Gear and cross the bridge. Follow the long corridor and head West on the next area to deactivate the second sensor. Now go back all the way to Bal and talk to him. He'll open the sand barrier and after a scene you can continue your way. Just follow the only path (get on the gondola to activate the elevator) until Calamity shows up.
Calamity may give you some trouble if you didn't upgrade (He can take over 400 damage), so activate booster and use Skills like Reppu (Triangle, Square) and Beat Serpent (Triangle, Square). It may take a while, but eventually he'll fall. Exit the area a scene in the desert and the reunion with Citan, you'll be moving around the Yggdrasil.
Items found: None
Your characters will look very small in the gear hangar, but move faster. To the North is a Gear Shop (Upgrade first, worry about accessories later, they're too expensive for now) and a bit more to the North lies a small door leading the main hallway (If you want to skip ahead and not visit the Yggdrasil, jump this paragraph.). The first door to your East leads to Marge's room (You'll know who she is later); the first and second door to the West lead to the dormitory (Talk to a man there to sleep if you want); the second door to your East is the nursery; the door to your North leads to the Gunnery Room where Maison will sell you character items. If you go down the stairs you'll go past 2 vacant rooms and reach the Engine room.
Now go back to main hallway and to the third door to your West (there's man looking at a plant besides the door) to get on the elevator (You cant go down yet). Ignore the stairs and go talk to Bart and Sigurd on the navigation room. After some scenes, you'll be at the residential area of the hideout. Leave following Citan and Maison for later and go check the area. The door to your North leads to another dormitory where you can also save; the door to your East leads to the planning room; The door to your South with a warning leads to Bart's room, where you can get an Iron Whip (Ignore the warning :P); lastly, to your west there is an exit and the door Maison opened. Go after Maison to the dining hall and after some conversation follow them to the planning room (You can stop and shop at the dining hall, but there's nothing you haven't bought yet on the Yggdrasil). After another scene, go back to the Yggdrasil (you'll have to wait for the platform's return) and Fei will talk a bit more with Bart. Now instead of going inside the Yggdrasil, go to the other platform, use another platform to go down and talk to the mechanic about Weltall. After this there'll be another scene (Will they ever stop?) and you can go sleep at the residential area (If you want to level up a bit first, go outside the hideout and have fun. Remember there are many giant enemies outside though).
When you wake up, the base is under attack. After some scenes, you'll have to, go down and fight the Gebler units. None of them should be too hard. Just use your best attacks against Schpariel (Bart and Citan will join you on this battle). After your victory, make sure you upgrade Heimdal. When you're ready, go talk to Sigurd to start the operation to Rescue Margie.
Items found on Bledavik: Hide & Seek Badge
Items found during the Tournament: Survival Tent, Metal Vest, Samson's Hair, Wedding Dress
Items found on the Waterway: Aquasol, Gold Nugget, Rosesol S, Survival Tent
Items found on Fatima Castle: Aquasol S, Cobra Cracka, 2 Hob Jerkies, Hob Meat, 4 Iron Mails, Rosesol S
You'll watch Ramsus introduction, then you can move around Bledavik. A lady near the entrance will point you a good hotel, but dont go there yet. Visit the market and weapon/armor shops buying anything you need. When visiting the market, one of the ladies will be stolen by a kid; Go after the kid (into a small passage) and give him 1000G so he promises not to steal again. On the same alley, challenge the other kid to a hide-and-seek game (Refer to the Secrets section for more information). Now go to the hotel and tell the owner you don't know the name of the lady to get a discount. Go talk to the nun and after some conversation you'll have to go back and look for a way to get inside Fatima Castle, so go North to visit the Shakhan Square.
You can do some mini-games and funny stuff on the Shakhan Square if you want, then head North until Bart leaves your party. Visit the tournament area and sign up for it. Now go back all the way to the market and check the Eastern border where there is a grate. A kid there will mention the hide-and-seek boy once got lost inside the well. Now go talk to the hide-and-seek boy, then go back to talk with the old man near the grate and choose the second or third option to get the Well Key. Now go talk to the nun at the hotel and get some rest when you're ready (Notice this is your chance to go check one of the tents at Shakhan Square that you couldn't before and watch a small scene about a Lahan villager called Molten), then the plan will start.
Head to the Tournament area and you'll meet some familiar faces. Bart should go South of the Hotel and go inside the waterway (This route is faster). Your first enemy on the tournament will be Gonzalez. Try to drag on the battle as much as you can to give Bart time. Gonzalez is slow, but has a powerful attack ("Can't take it anymore!"), so heal when necessary. After you win, a menu screen will show up for you to heal Fei. After you exit the menu screen after each battle, it will be Bart's turn to move and after some time, Fei's turn (This paragraph will list all of Fei's battles, so move to the next paragraph if you want to know what to do with Bart). The next battle is against Big Joe and he's quite except for the help he gets from his fans :P. Build up a combo and make sure you equip the Metal Vest after the battle. Next up is Scud, and this is another easy battle to drag on, since Scud uses lots of defensive "pills". The next enemy is Dan (!) and he's quite a lot more challenging. Don't let your HP drop too much because of his "You scum" big ether attack (Where did he learn that?). Also, if you refuse to fight and only defend yourself, Dan will give up and throw you Alice's Wedding Dress. The last battle is against Wiseman. Don't even bother, you can't win (or lose) this battle, so just keep wasting turns until it's over.
Bart will have to swim against the current here. Swim NorthEast, and again to the NorthEast when you reach a junction, then climb the pipe and move around the Aquarium to get the Gold Nugget. Now go back and swim NorthEast, then North. On the next junction, go SouthEast to get a Rosesol S, then go back to the junction and go North this time. On the next junction, take the rather long path NorthEast to get a Survival Tent, or go NorthWest, then South on another junction to get an Aquasol S. Now go back and head North, Northeast and North to reach Fatima Castle. After talking with the old man, save your game and climb the ladder to the castle. Inside the castle, you'll have to dodge the guards by staying outside of their vision (Don't worry too much, though. They're quite easy in battle). You'll end up in the middle of a garden, so you should run South to a big door before the guards can reach you (And get used to peek if you don't want to fight). Notice there are 3 doors at the East Corridor and 3 at the West Corridor. On the West doors you can get Hob-jerkies and a Hob-meat by jumping near the North wall in the kitchen. SouthEast door has a Cobra Cracka on it and the SouthWest one has 4 Iron Mails (There's nothing much on the middle one). Now go back to the South Door and go up the stairs, then take the North Door. There'll be another set of corridors with 3 doors each. Get a Rosesol S on the NorthWest door. Check the NorthEast door to hear some conversation between the guards and run to the other side to get an Aquasol S (It's difficult, but possible to escape them). Now go to the last on either door (You'll end up in the same place) and climb the stairs. Now go to East door thenhead to the door all the way to the North (You might recognize the area). Talk to Margie and save your game. After some scenes, Bart will fight Ramsus.
Ramsus isn't really difficult, just don't attack when he is in the Mirror Stance. Fei will join the second round but Ramsus will be tougher and Miang will heal more often. Just don't attack Ramsus during the Mirror Stance (You can use Ether, but Miang will probably heal him) and the battle should be over. After a dandy escape and some other scenes, Margie will be safe and you can bring her back to Nisan.
Items found at the Kislev Border: Extra Ar +2, Gold Nugget, Magnetic Coat, Rosesol S
Items found at the Kislev Border Desert: Extra Ar +3, Gold Nugget
Reaching Nisan shouldn't be too hard. Near Bart's Hideout, head North until you find a lonely tree on the desert and click on it to submerge the Yggdrasil. After some scenes you'll be automatically inside town.
Visit the town if you want (There's nothing new to buy except for some nifty acessories; if you can buy an Ether Doubler, by all means, do it!), take a peek at the meeting hall for a scene, then head to the Monastery. The Nisan visit is pretty much for story development...Just follow Margie around, check the painting, then talk to Agnes for more historical details. Go back to the entrance of town and talk to Sig inside the lodge. You can (and should) ask questions about the whole situation and after you're done asking, go talk to Bart on the nearby bridge for another scene, then go to the town hall. After lots of planning, talk to Bart the day when you're ready. After more scenes (Do they ever end?), you'll be controlling Citan, so go talk to Maison, then climb the stairs near to bridge to go outside and watch MORE scenes (Last ones...for now).
You can finally move around with Weltall. Head East, jump the ledges and go back West a bit to get an Extra Ar +2. Now go back and head NorthEast, following the other pirate gears doing a big jump to another ledge, then stop following then and go South/SouthEast to get a MagneticCoat at the other tip of the ledge. Now go back North following the pirate gears heading NorthEast. On the next area, head SouthWest and jump to the Eastern ledges when you spot them (You can also circle around West but it's a longer path) and don't forget to get a Rosesol S to your NorthEast. Continue NorthWest and jump to the ledge yo your SouthWest to get a Gold Nugget. Now keep climbing North until you find a Repair Bot. Take your time repairing and saving, then go North, then East to fight the Gebler units.
The Gebler units are EXACTLY the same from the last battle, so they shouldn't be too hard. The problem is the battle after them, against Vierge. Use Booster and your best attacks and you should defeat her before she uses too many Aerods. After you win there's a scene between Fei and Elly and after that you should refuel, then continue the area, following the obrigatory way until you reach a bright spot. You'll watch another scene with Bart, then we're back on track with Fei.
After some scenes, you'll have to complete a small mini-game. Just keep heading up avoiding enemies and mines (Although they'll barely damage you, unless you stay put for too long). After 2 areas, you'll have to destroy the Kefeinzel gun. If you want to avoid being shot by it, use booster and leave the small guns for later. After some other scenes, you'll have to fight Dora.
The Dora is a bit tricky to defeat. Attack with Weltall only until the Head Cover breaks. Then you can attack with the other gears. Also, using Booster in this battle might save your skin, since Dora can take some decent damage and has high HP. After that, there'll be lots of scenes with Fei, Bart (No, you CAN'T win) and after all those scenes, Fei will wake up in the Kislev capital, also known as Nortune.
Items found at the D Block: Dogfood
Items found at the Sewers B1: Aquasol, Kislev Map, Physisol
Items found at the Sewers B2: Bell Amulet, Cool Shades, Ether Veiler, Gallant Belt, Gold Nugget, Knight Helm, Mentsol, Poison Guard, Sewer Keys, Zetasol DX
You wake up at the D Block prison are in Nortune and before you think of doing you must fight some bosses to earn a "rank". You can lose these battles, but you'll be of a lower rank (There'll be a couple of different speeches and you won't get the same dishes but only bad thing is that the prices for selling monster parts will be lower). Leonardo, Heinrich and Vargas are just improved versions, respectively and they're all relatively easy. Suzarn is a bit tougher because she can take all your EP at once and constantly half your HP. Use curative items like Aquasols and attack her when you can. You can't win the last battle against Rico (Hell, even if you're at the ending of the game you probably wouldn't withstand that much damage), but don't worry, you'll get the best rank (for now) by defeating Suzarn.
After getting your rank you can move around. You can buy some dog food from the man near the dog (if the dog barks first), eat some special dishes, hunt monster parts in the sewers and sell them at an Ethos facility and just visit town. Visit Latina's bar and talk to the Hammer (The beast-like guy with a hat) and after he introduces himself, you can buy some items and weapons from him. After that, head NorthEast and a guard will stop you. Go back to the bar, watch a scene, then back to your dorm. After a scene with Citan you can try to remove the collar (Don't worry). I've heard tons of rumors that if you rest first (I coudln't rest, Citan asked me to finish the discussion first) and try later, Citan would remove a small part of it and sell it to Hammer for 5000 G. Unfortunately, it never worked for me. Anyway, after some more talking, Fei decides to become a battler. Head to the NorthEast exit and on Nortune Map, go to the C Block. After some talking you'll have to fight (Take your chance to check the tutorials before doing it). It doesn't matter if you win or not the first battle. On the next day, talk to Citan and Hammer, then go back to battling (You can also buy new gear parts from Hammer!). Battling shouldn't be too hard, check the game tutorial or the basics section if you need. You'll have to fight 2 battles, then go sleep, then fight more 2 battles and sleep. On the next morning, Rico will show up and you'll join him to investigate the sewers. Climb the ladder outside and go down another ladder on the roof near a battler to get inside.
Right after climbing down, cross the bridge to the North, then another bridge to the East, then a bit to the North to find a murder spot. Now go South, then East to get an Aquasol S. Go back to the entrance, then head West (jump the water from the ducts or you'll receive damage.), then South (don't cross the bridge), then SouthEast to get a Physisol. Now go back to the bridge you just ignored to the West and cross it, then head South to find another Murder Spot. Now head North, NorthWest, cross the bridge to the North, then head West to get the Kislev Map (Refer to the Maps Section for a detailed map). Go back and cross the bridge you just crossed, then head West and reach the ladder leading to the second sewers floor.
Go South, moving around to the East until you get the Cool Shades. Cross the bridge SouthEast, head SouthWest, then West to the murder spot. Now go back to the bridge you crossed and head NorthEast jumping over the 'No Entry' sign and climbing the ladder. Head East, then South if you want to save the game. Back to the ladder, go NorthWest/North to find another murder spot. Continue NorthWest opening the door, and continue to the West, then South to get a Knight Helm. Go back to the door, then back to the ladder and go back down. Go back all the way to the ladder leading to the first sewers floor, but cross the bridge near it to the West. Head North, West and South alongside the wall and cross the last bridge to the West where you can save again. Head North alongside the wall until you find the rat-sweeper machine (Catless Rats Remover! :P). Examine it to get the Sewer Keys. Now go back to the Memory Cube, the cross the bridge to the East, then cross the next bridge to the NorthEast (the one you skipped before). Turn West and circle around to get a Poison Guard, the back East and further East until you reach a door to the SouthEast. Follow the obrigatory way to the East (skip the bridge to the South), cross the bridge to the East, turn North, then West to get a Gallant Belt. Head back South but instead crossing back the bridge, continue South until you meet Gramps (You can ask him for information about the sewers). Head all the way NorthEast to find another murder spot and a Gold Nugget. Go back to Gramps, cross the bridge South, the head West and South to get a Zetasol DX. Go back to the bridge, continue East, cross the bridge to the NorthEast, then turn SouthEast/South to get a Mentsol. Go back North and follow North alongside the wall until you reach a door to your side. Get the Bell Amulet, then jump on the pipes to reach an Ether Veiler. Now make sure you're prepared before you go after the monster (you have to reach a slimy with no murder spot near to find him). When you're ready, head West/South (from the Sewage Treatment Room), cross the bridge to the SouthWest, then another to the North, then continue North until you reach a slimy pipe. Examine it and Redrum will appear.
This can be a serious treat no matter how high-leveled you are, because Redrum uses a skill called 'Murder', instantly killing one of your characters. Try to build up your AP bar (using Iron Valor/Steel Fist helps) and kill him FAST. Leveling up won't help much if he insists on using "Murder", so you'd better have some Zetasols in stock. After you win, there's a scene and you're back to the D Block. Go talk to Rico at the inn, and after another scene you can continue your way battling (At the battling arena, silly :P).
Items found at the Nortune Central District: Insulated Ar, Knight Mail, Momento Chain, Power Magic
Items found at the Nortune Gear Dock: 100 G, Beam Coat, Evasion Ring, Frame HP30, Master Key, MiniGear, Survival Tent
You'll have to fight 3 more Battlers: Hatamoto, Firewheel and Silver Star. Those are a bit harder than the previous battlers, but don't worry; keep pummeling without giving them a chance to react until you beat them. After that, save the game and go talk to Citan. After a scene, you'll have to fight Wiseman. You can win this battle, although it isn't necessary to do it; just use your best deathblows. After some scenes, you'll be at the inn. Go to the Battling Arena to fight the Champ!
This battle is a bit different than the others; it has 5 rounds, and you can lose (You'll just have to try again). Try using Ether bullets against Stier since he's really strong at short-range attack. After your victory and a scene at Aveh, you can use Rico's room, sell monster parts for better prices, visit other areas of Nortune or even leave the city (but you're not escaping...yet). Go check the Central District first. Talk to the soldiers at the entrance and they'll let you pass. Enter the East door, head down the stairs, enter the South door, then the West door ignoring the chickens :P. Jump into a box next to the shelf and jump pressing the Cross button to get an Insulated Ar. Now activate the crane next to the shelf. Move it from the right to the left to hit the side of the crates at the end of the room, then jump at the hook to reach the Power Magic. Now go back all the way and enter the elevator. Take the stairs to the West and talk with the Kaiser. After some scenes, check the drawer (in front of the mirror) to get the Momento Locket (An acessory for Rico only), then leave the room to watch another scene, then go back to the Kaiser's room to get a Knight Mail. Leave the District and head for the A Block. After some talking with Hammer, exit the top floor by jumping at the chimney (...don't ask :P) to have a conversation with the ex-doctor from the D Block. Before you leave, she'll tell the order to knock at her door (unless you want to drop down the chimney again...). After you leave, check one of those alleys to find Big Joe. This isn't necessary for the game, but if you pay him 5000G, you'll find an M Disk on the same alley later. The item and accessory shop have nothing new compared to Hammer, buy only if you need to restock. Now go back to the D Block and watch another scene. When you're ready, take a nap on the Champ's bed.
Climb the ladder to the roof, jump the 2 boxes, then climb to the observation tower. Jump quickly twice to reach the front car. You'll be on the Gear Docks (being more exactly, near it). Check the South door to watch a scene, then climb up the crates and enter the duct. Head South, and if you head West and look at the grate you'll see Weltall. Continue South, East, South, East, then North to reach a door. Jump to the door to your West (You'll have climb over if you fall). You should head West, then South to exit the area, but you can peek at some optional grates (They'll be listed always from the first junction of this area). Heading all the way the North (and a bit to the East) shows some guards talking. Heading North, then East shows more guards talking. Heading all the way to the West shows the Gear Dock again. After you're done. head West, then South. After watching a scene, get the Master Key at the shelf and a Frame HP30 (Equip it NOW. :P). Head East through the next door, continue East, then North. Check the left side of the machine on the North Wall to get 100 G, then continue North. Head West, the open the South door with the Master key. There's a small box to the South which contains a Beam Coat. Now go back North to the hallway, head North, then West to the next door. Circle around and get the Minigear near the books and some guards will attack you. One of them will drop an Evasion Ring (and probably some other items, as usual), so defeat them and head North. You'll be back at the beginning but now you can open the East door (and I'd recommend you to save). Head East, then West and get the Survival Tent on your way down the stairs. Continue until you reach the gear dock itself (finally). Before getting Weltall, move near SouthEast, talk to the gear that's different from all others and upgrade Weltall (Also, equipping the Beam Coat will help a lot against the next bosses). Touch the switch near the elevator to switch gears until you can board Weltall. Pick up the other elevator and after some scenes, you'll have to fight a Rankar R at the Arena.
This is a very easy boss, just pound him until he's down. There'll be more scenes and you'll be at the ether-controlled ship, fighting the Gebler Units (As usual they're relatively easy and only serve to damage you before the real boss battle). Weltall will fight Aegisknight R, Swordknight R and Clawknight R. Stier will then join against the Wandknights R (Group on each of them individually). After a long scene with Elly, you'll fight Dominia controlling the hetch. Use booster and ignore the Super Aerod until you beat the Hetch. After a long scene you'll be at the A Block so that you can plan to infiltrate the Goliath Factory.
Items found at the Nortune A Block: M Disk
Items found at the Goliath Factory: Extra Ar +3, Gold Nugget, Mica, O2 Cylinder
After some planning, you can leave the doctor's house. When you try to exit town, you'll watch another scene and Rico will join the party. Don't forget to go back to the alley where you met Big Joe to get an M Disk (You can use it at the Wildcat bar). Also, you can change party members talking to the lady at the Wildcat bar. Now leave Nortune (You might want to buy some equipment for Elly), head NorthEast along the riverside, circle around the small forest turning NorthWest, then continue on that direction until you find the Factory at the NorthWest border of the mountain. Inside the factory, follow the North path at the crossroad until you find Hammer riding a gear (You can upgrade your gears with him). Continue your way and you'll have to fight enemy gears.
Head Straight and you'll fight 3 Harkebus Mk10, 3 Neo Musha Mk100, 2 Harkebus Mk10. At the next area, keep going until you find an intersection. Go South to save your game, then continue West until you find another intersection. Head East to get an O2 Cylinder, then head West for the next area. Continue through the hall fighting 2 Harkebus Mk10, 2 Hatamoto Mk3 and 4 Mechanics, then activate any elevator at the end of the hall to reach another area. Get off your Gears and head below the conveyor belt to get an Extra Ar +3, turn the switch at the East Wall, then head back to conveyor belt and let it take you to another room. Press the blue switch at the side of the conveyor belt heading down (The other one near the ducts will only make more enemies show up) to make it go up. Jump on it and watch out for falling down on the next area. Save your game, then press the switch near the ducts and 2 chests will fall (Lucky!). Get the Gold Nugget and the Mica, press the switch near the Memory Cube, then jump on the conveyor belt to the East. Keep moving until Fis-6 shows up.
If you're lucky enough, you might be abel to crush him before he overheats. At any rate, don't waste too much fuel if he shifts up too much; you'll barely do any damage. Kill the mechanics that comes to heal him, and after you defeat him you'll be inside the Goliath (Save your game!). After some scenes, you'll fight Grahf (Don't worry, you can't really 'win' this battle) and watch more scenes. After a scene between Fei and Elly you'll have to open the trap door. Then you'll switch to Citan and Rico, so go talk to Bart. You'll switch again to Fei and Elly, then back to the Yggdrasil controlling Bart this time. Go to the Gear Hangar and talk to Rico standing near Stier. Then go to the Gear Shop and talk to Citan to watch more scenes. After that, Fei and Elly will be rescued by the Thames.
Items found at the Armor Ground: Deathblower 1
Items found at the Beer Hall: Mentsol, Premier Shoes
Items found at the Supply Entrance: D Circuit, Lunar Rod, Mica, Serpent GWhip, Super Googles
After talking with the penguin guy, you can move around the Thames. You can buy new equipment and some items at this same area (named Armor Ground) where you started. You can check a weird motor/van nd talk to Queenie (You can't challenge her yet). Leave this area and you'll be at the Thames main 'map'. Move to the Green Icon that says 'Screw Elevator' and go inside. Besides torturing a drunk guy, you can go to the following floors: B2, where the Dock is; B1, to the Supply Entrance; 1F, to the Deck; 2F, to the Sick Bay, where you can sleep; 3F, the Beer Hall; 4F, the bridge. Choose B1 first to visit the Supply Entrance. At the NorthEast Corner, there's a Gear Shop with lots of upgrades (Be sure to upgrade as much as you can). At the NorthWest corner of the area, a kid asks if you want to show it and if it is for real. Say Yes twice and you'll play a card game against him (More details on the Secrets section). Beat him and you'll get a Super Goggles. Jump on the crate near the kid, then jump over the grate to the East to get a Serpent GWhip. Now enter a door near the SouthEast corner (Before going down the stairs). Fall down moving West to get a D Circuit. Now climb the stairs at the SouthWest corner, then cross the bridge heading North. Head East without falling from the crates or bridges until you see 2 'steps' hanging from the ceiling. Time your jump to get a Lunar Rod. Now head to a drunken guy at the West corner but don't talk to him. Jump on him and stay still, waiting for a moving step with a chest to pass near you. Hit it with your head to make the chest fall and get a Mica. Now go back to the Screw Elevator and choose 3F. At the Beer Hall, climb the ladder and the pipe behind the machine to reach the kid and he'll give you a Mentsol. Challenge the man at SouthEast corner for a card game and get a Premier Shoes for a victory (You can now go back and challenge Queenie for a Deathblower 1, but I'd recommend wait for Citan first). Now go to the bridge (4F) and talk to the Captain. Go to the Beer Hall and talk to him again, watch some scenes and talk to the Captain again on the bridge. After that, go to the Deck and touch the gears with the Cross button. You'll have to fight Dominia (in her new gear).
Haishao can take some decent damage with Nereid Cyclone if you didn't upgrade Brigandier or Vierge, but it has low HP and should go down easily. After some scenes the Yggdrasil will stop at the Thames (Notice that the Yggdrsil now has the same upgrades from the Thames and you just got some cash, so upgrade if necessary), so you should head to the Screw Elevator and watch some scenes, and you'll be back at the Yggdrasil. Climb the ladder to exit the Yggdrasil, but go South to meet Big Joe and a lady. Challenge him to a card game by saying 'yes' and you'll get a LongDarkCoat. Now head to the Beer Hall to watch more scenes, then go back to the Yggdrasil and talk to Sigurd. You can revisit the submarine if you want, but you should talk to the lady at the infirmary, then check the engine room (Down the stairs and through the corridor at the room where Maison is) to watch another scene. Talk to Citan twice, then talk to Elly at the infirmary (This is your last chance to change equipment, so you'd better do it). After some scenes you'll have to fight Dominia (again) piloting the Bladegash. She has a decent evade rate but keep attacking her and use Frame HPs if necessary. After this battle, you'll have to fight Ramsus (piloting Haishao) and Miang.
Use Booster and start attacking Ramsus. Watch out for his mirror attack, and notice Haishao is weak against Ether Attacks, so cast Anemo Burn or Thermo Dragon at him and he should be down easily. After some scenes you'll be at the Thames Sick Bay. Go down to the Deck, then head to the Armor Ground to meet a certain Etone from the Ethos.
Items found at the Orphanage: Book 1, Book 2, Book 3, Tag Badge, B&J M686 Gun
Items found at the Wels Ship: B&J M10S Ammo, Cabin Key, Penguin Coat, Shot G60 Ammo, Silver Beret, Survival Tent
After watching a scene at the Armor Ground, you'll be introduced to Billy. After some talking, you'll have to meet him again at the Ethos HQ. Head to the dock and board the Yggdrasil II (Note: You can revisit a lot of places and visit some new too, but you won't be able do much right now except for the orphanage, which I'll cover later on). Also, you can change party members from now on if you talk to Margie. The controls are basically the same, except that you can cruise over sand and water. Head to the yellow dot directly to your North (Look at the world map) to reach the Ethos HQ. You'll meet Billy and you should follow him (Don't worry about visiting the HQ for now) until you reach the infirmary room where Fei is. After some talking, you have to visit the HQ. Check all rooms, and keep hanging around the first floor until Elly shows up, then you can go see Fei and take him to the Yggdrasil. Talk to Sigurd and he'll say the orphanage is to the SouthEast of the Ethos HQ (It's another yellow dot to the SouthEast, but not the nearest one). Head there to find Billy.
Before going inside the house, talk to the kid near the fence and help him catch the chickens. Just press Cross near the chicken, then move to the fence direction (repeat this process a few times) and after getting all of them inside the fence, you'll get a Tag Badge. Now go inside and talk to Billy to watch a scene. After that, climb the ladder at the same room and agree with the kid to get a Book 1. Now continue to the other room and enter the first room to the East. Have Rico in your party talk to kid on the bed. Rico will give him the bell amulet and get the Book 3. Now try opening the next door to the East (You may have to re-enter the room a couple of times). A kid will come out of the toilet and give you the Book 2. Now head North and check the bookshelf to watch a scene (You can't check the room for now). Go back to the Yggdrasil and talk to Sigurd at the room where Maison usually is selling items to watch more scenes, then head to the Gun Room again to meet Billy (He'll explain how his guns work...basically, it's almost the same thing, except that you have a limited ammo). After some talking, you must choose a team and head outside through the ladder near the bridge.
The corridor will be dark, so head to the middle of the corridor and rotate the camera until you find a red dot. Touch it to turn on the lights. Before exiting this room, rotate the camera to find a Penguin Coat hidden behind some boxes. You can only access the door to the North (There's only a Memory Cube) or the ladder. Save if you want, then climb the ladder, heading North to another ladder down. Get the B&J M10S Ammo to your West and head South dodging the hanging bags (Or whatever those things are) to get a Survival Tent, then press the East switch to open the B lock. Head back North through the door to reach a corridor. On the first door to the East, there's a Cabin Key; Check the first room to the West for a silly joke; The second room to the West has a Silver Beret; Lastly, the third room to the West has a Shot G60 Ammo. Now take some distance from the North door and run into it 5 times. Ignore the doors and go up the ladder, then head North to save at the Memory Cube. Jump inside the small tube/hatch to your South and you'll have to fight Bloody. He's a weaker version of Redrum, the only thing you have worry about is the 'Murder' Skill (Having Billy helps a lot this time). After this, head South to watch some scenes and you'll fight Giant Wels. You should either use Any Ether (Yeah, even Brigandier's Wild Smile) to lower his defense (Watch out since it will raise his attack, though) or use Renmazuo's Square Attacks. Try to balance the regular attacks and ether attacks to defeat him. After some scenes, you can now upgrade Renmazuo (and equip the gun you got by defeating the Giant Wels). Go back to the orphanage with Billy to open the bookcase you tried to enter earlier to get a B&J M686 Gun. Now you can go back to the Ethos HQ.
Items found at the Ethos HQ: Aquasol DX, Gold Nugget, Seal Ar
Items found at Zeboim: B&J M686A Ammo, Black Snake, Panalphasol, Sleep Guard
You'll notice something is wrong when you're back; Cross the door to the North, then the door to the West and you'll watch a scene and fight some assassins. Kill the clawed ones before they use any 'Death, death, death!' attacks and watch out for the Net attack, which can be annoying. Head West, ignoring the first 2 doors of the hallway, then enter the door heading North and climb the stairs. You'll fight more assassins, then cross the bridge, then fight more assassins twice. You'll find only a couple of non-Etones survivors at the last room. Now go back all the way the main corridor, the head West to the last North door to fight more assassins. Leave the room, head to the last room to the West and enter the new passage. After going down the stairs, ignore the door to the South and the 2 door to the North, entering the last door to the North. Climb the stairs and get a Gold Nugget at the room, the open the door to the South to get an Aquasol DX and a Seal Ar. Now go back and enter the door to the East to fight more assassins. Continue through the next East door (ignore the South path), turn North, then East and check 2 last doors to your North to save a Shevat Agent and Big Joe (Just talk to them). Go back South to the corridor and continue East through a door, then North heading down the Elevator continuing North. Enter the door to the East to watch lots of conversation. Exit the room to watch more scenes, then fight more assassins. Go after Jessie to watch more scenes.
You'll have to form a party (Citan must be in it) to help the Thames. Head to the Thames and talk to the Captain. After explaining the situation, you'll have to go after Stein at the Ethos Dig Site (An island to the North of the Thames). Head inside, take the platform down and cross the door to the West. If you want to fight the Gebler Guard, touch him (Although you won't have an option later), then enter the elevator to the North (You'll watch a scene), exiting to the South. Enter the door to the East (It's the only door you can open here) to reach Zeboim (Each character will have a distinct reaction visiting Zeboim; bringing particularly Elly will result into some interesting lines plot-wise). Cross the bridge, climb the stairs East, then West and open the door. Follow the corridor to the North (Save if you want), open the East door, then head straight East to the last door to your South (You'll fight Gebler Guards on the way). Exit the elevator and proceed North through another corridor, then get the chest to your West. Head East, fight some Gebler Guards and cross another corridor. Head South, circling the room (You'll fight Gebler Guards twice) to the last door to the West and get a Sleep Guard. Now go back and head South (First door right after you exit this room), then down the stairs heading North. Go through another red corridor North, turn West, then North again, crossing another red corridor. At this point someone will comment about the maze-like structure of this place. Continue NorthEast and enter the first door to the NorthWest to get a Black Snake. Head back and continue fighting 2 Gebler Guards, then open the door to the East. Get the Panalphasol, save your game, then go back to the door near you to the North. Go down the stairs and exexute the manual scan, then go back to the room where you found the Black Snake and use the computer to reset the emergency level. Go back to the locked door heading South. Activate the computer at the SouthWest (Skip this if Elly's with you). Open the next door to the South and some scenes will start. Check the reactor and after some talking, you'll fight Tolone and Seraphita.
Defeat Seraphita first since her attacks are stronger and she can steal your EP (You'll need it later). Either build your AP bar or use Elly's Ether (Water on Seraphita, Earth on Tolone). Heal yourselves and save after the fight and start leaving Zeboim. You'll watch more scenes and fight Id (The guy with the Gear that crushed Bart). This guy can take over 200 HP to one person in one attack! Have at least one person healing and unleash your best combos on him. After another scene, exit the Site to watch another scene aboard the Yggdrasil. Save your game and talk to Sig. He'll say Fei isn't at the infirmary, so head for the gear hangar where Weltall is to meet him. After some talking, you'll form a party lead by Billy, but without Citan or Fei, to fight Stein.
This battle is rather annoying, since you can't hit him during the first turns and he has lots of HP. After Billy's father helps, attack him with your best deathblows and watch out for fuel and HP until the end (He takes some damage of the party before he dies). After beating him, you'll watch some scenes and Fei will be back on the party. You can now check the Gear Shop for upgrades (They might be too pricy for now, but try to buy parts strong against Ether attacks). You won't be back on the main map for a while, so get ready to climb the Babel Tower.
