Astral City
Recommended Level: 38-39
Items: N/A
Enemies: N/A
=========================================================================
Enter the king's castle, the guards will stop you, but Phia will come and
invite you. After talking to the king of Astral, you'll get the ASTRAL
EMBLEM. If you talk to Phia afterwards, she'll join you if you have six or
less members in your party (and if you have Cyuss or Ashlay). Moreover,
now you obtain her SFT.
Now if you go to Tatroi and fight any rank higher than E, in the fifth
battle you'll fight against T'Nique, another secret character. Defeat him
and he'll join if you have a free slot in your party.
OK, it seems now you have two emblems of the four. Next stop - Silvalant.
Go to Van y Ille City again, and from there go north until you reach the
checkpoint. After a little scene involving the Van Emblem, you'll be
permitted to pass.
Enter the Van y Silvalant Caves. The path is straightforward, but don't
forget to grab a COMBO LINK accessory and a GREEN BERYL on your way. Exit
into the snowy plains.
==========================================================================
Silvalant Continent
Recommended level: 38-39
Items: N/A
Enemies: Scylla, Wisp, Cuniculus, Shaman, Lizard Axman, Savant, Cleric,
Drow Healer, Petri Gevel
==========================================================================
As soon as you're out of the Van y Silvalant Caves, I advice you level up
a little to reach at least level 40. Now is the time to go to Mt. Metorx
Abandoned Mine, but you'll have the opportunity to do so a little bit
later, so there's no need in backtracking now.
The closest to you is the town of Durss. Enter it.
==========================================================================
Durss
Recommended level: 40-41
Items: N/A
Enemies: N/A
==========================================================================
It's a really poor town here. Most of the houses are abandoned, and there
is not so much people too. They can give the directions on how to get to
Silvalant. You'll notice that the shops sell equipment that is equal to
what your starting equipment was, so you probably won't buy anything good
in here. Rest at the Inn if you need and exit the town.
While near Durss, look at your world map (START button) and you'll see a
red dot not far from where you are now (the dot which is on the land, not
in the sea). Head there.
==========================================================================
Silvalant City
Recommended level: 41-42
Items: Blueberries, Resurrection Mist, Damascus
Enemies: N/A
==========================================================================
Millie will join you here (finally), if she hasn't joined you in Eckdart.
As you enter this snowy city, check the shops here and I can tell you that
this is the place where the strongest buyable weapons and armor are. From
the entrance go all the way east for a chest with BLUEBERRIES. This is
Silvalant dock, but the ship service doesn't work. For now. Also check one
of the houses for a RESURRECTION MIST. From the plaza (the area
with the clock) go NE to see a pine. Go behind it and press X. There's a
hidden shop here! Santa the Dealer sells awesome accessories which cost
gigantic amounts of money. If you've sold Fanfic X and have some spare
money, I advice you to buy Jewel of the Frog here. This item will let you
exit dungeons momentarily. It costs 100000 Fol. The other item to take
note of is Magical Rasp, which will improve you success rate in Machinery
and Customization Item Creation. You should buy it. The Music Editor is
kinda useless, because you can easily compose music without it. Don't
look at the Santa's Boots and the tri-Emblem for now, they're way too
expensive. If you're wondering how to get so much money, I can tell about
a Philosopher's Stone trick in the SECRETS section.
When you're done with shopping, go to the castle of the city. After the
scene you'll get the SILVALANT EMBLEM. The only emblem left is the Muah.
If you're in the castle, go to the long hall behind the yard and open a
chest with DAMASCUS in the east end. Exit the castle. Now that the ship
service started functioning fully, you can go to any continent you want.
I also highly recommend doing the Abandoned Mine sidequest now, and
recruiting Welch, Pericci, T'Nique and Erys if you want these characters.
Go to Portmith. Go to Portmith castle. A scene will occur here. You will
need to purge the treasury first to actually get the Muah Emblem.
==========================================================================
Castle Treasury
Recommended level: 43-44
Items: Luxurious Sword, Luxurious Rod, Luxurious Robe, Medicine Bottle,
Feline SFT, Luxurious Armor, Resurrection Elixir, Luxurious Armor,
Luxurious Rod, Luxurious Sword, Luxurious Robe, Medicine Bottle, Bagua SFT,
?Jewelry
Enemies: Mephisto, Berserker, Stidge, Shadow Beast
==========================================================================
!!!!!Before starting this dungeon, if you're using Roddick, Cyuss, Ashlay,
Phia, Ioshua or Millie, I highly advice to level up their Customization to
level 10. This is because there are a lot of powerful weapons which you'll
lose by finishing this little quest. So my advice is to customize them
with Mithril, Orichalcum and Rainbow Diamond so you won't lose them. That
way you will keep them. For creating the aforementioned minerals you also
needMillie's/Ioshua's/Ronyx's/Mavelle's Alchemy at max level and a Lezard
Flask, or you can get these minerals from the abandoned mine. Anyway,
forge the weapons or you'll lose them.
Luxurious Sword + Mithril/Rainbow Diamond = Souleater for Roddick/Ashlay
Luxurious Sword + Mithril = Blade of Doom for Cyuss
Luxurious Sword + Mithril = Ice Coffin for Phia
Luxurious Rod + Mithril/Moonrock = Scepter of the Bunny for Millie/Ioshua
Luxurious Rod + Orichalcum = Rod of the Feather for Millie/Ioshua!!!!!
B1F
Check the two rooms you pass for a LUXURIOUS SWORD, LUXURIOUS ROD and
LUXURIOUS ROBE. Continue the path east and south to B2F.
B2F
Check the rooms again for a MEDICINE BOTTLE, FELINE SFT and a LUXURIOUS
ARMOR. To B3F.
B3F
Go east and into the north door for a RESURRECTION ELIXIR. Go back and
follow the path to another LUXURIOUS ARMOR, LUXURIOUS ROD and LUXURIOUS
SWORD. Go south and into the door for BAGUA SFT. Now follow the same path
on the west side to get LUXURIOUS ROBE and MEDICINE BOTTLE. Descend to B4F.
B4F
Save. Go through the door.
==============
BOSS: Succubus
==============
Hit Points: 54000
Magic Points: 50
Difficulty: Semi-Hard
The difficulty of this battle depends on your levels and equipment. If you
have Souleater/Blade of Doom, the Succubus will fall in a minute. If not,
read on. First of all, the boss starts the battle surrounded by seven
Shadow Beasts, so take them out of your path first. Then go straight for
the boss. Succubus is quite fast, so keeping to her might be a problem.
Set Millie to attack with all her might, maybe it'll help. You also have
to interrupt Succubus with the Dragon Slash skill, so she won't kill
your characters so easily. If you're overleveled, i.e. somewhere over 50,
she won't be able to kill you so often.
After the scene, go into the door behind the place where Succubus was to
find a chest with ?JEWELRY. Backtrack to the entrance.
After the prime minister thanks you, you lose all the Luxurious items you
have in your inventory (if you did what I told you to do, you'll lose only
armors). Eventually you'll get 20000 Fol, 200 SP and a HAMMER CHARM for
your efforts. After that, you'll obtain the MUAH EMBLEM.
Looks like now you have all needed emblems, so get back to Van Kingdom, to
Van y Ille City.
