Walkthrough

BEGINNING

=========

After the rolling of the Prologue, it’s time to name our Hero. There isn’t any

de f ault nam e given, s o yo u can cho os e what ever nam e you lik e. For t he s ak e of

the walkthrough, let’s name it Sumo, just like what’s in the Manual. After

t h at , n a m e t h e H e r o i n e o f t h e g a m e. F o r t h e s a k e o f t h e w al k t h r o u g h , l e t ’ s u s e

the name Fuji that is also used in the manual. After naming both of them,

you’ll be taken into an arena. You’ll start off at Level 1 with 19 HPs, 6 MPs,

and 50 GP (monetary unit). And then, you will have to beat the Jackal.

BOSS: JACKAL

####################################################################
#########

EXP gained: 0

GP: 0

Attacks: none!

Preferred Weapon: Sword (no choice!)

This Boss has a very low intelligence. It doesn’t attack you. It will just

walk in a ‘W’ like pattern. From where you are standing, you’re safe. Press

the Attack button and you’ll kill it with 8 slashes.

####################################################################
#########

After the battle with the Jackal, you’ll see a sad scene where Willy, Sumo’s

friend, dies after a fight with the monster. For his last words, he will tell

you that the Gemma Knights must know what happened. Sumo will be confused. He

will then tell you to go to Bogard at the Falls. Then, Willy will pass away.

Head up, through the door, to the area to the north. Here, you’ll see Amanda

who wants to go home and see her little brother. The Man will talk about the

entrance of the monsters. After talking to them, head right to the next

screen. In here, use the ladder. In this next screen, continue heading left

until you meet another Jackal. Use the same strategy against it. After the

fight, notice that the entrance of the monster is open. Head there are you’ll

find yourself outside the premises of the castle. After regaining control of

Sumo, head left to the next area. Here, you’ll see Julius and Dark Lord

talking about how to go up the falls and reach the Tree of Mana. Then Julius

will tell Dark Lord that a girl has the key. After that, Julius will

disappear. Dark Lord now notices you. You’ll then automatically run up to a

cl i f f . H e r e, D ar k L o r d w il l p u s h yo u d o w n ! ( A h h h ! H o w di d S u m o s u r v iv e ? ) A f t e r

falling, you’ll regain control of Sumo again, but now you are in the World

Map.

For a World Map, I created a quick reference at the maps section. Check it

out. You can also check it out if you get lost. Back to the walkthrough. From

your starting point, head right to the next screen. After that, head right

a g a i n t o t h e n e x t s c r e e n . F r o m h e r e , g o s o u t h. A f t e r t h a t , s o s o u t h o n c e m o r e .

In this area, the only way is to the right. So, go right to the next area.

From here, go right again. In this area, you’ll see a girl and a wounded boy

seeking for help. Defeat ALL monsters in this screen only. After defeating

every monster (the clue is that there will be no more music), talk to the

wounded boy. His name is Hasim. He will also tell you to take the girl with

yo u t o Bo gard (t he s am e m an W illy s p ok e of ) . Af t e r t hat, H as im will pas s away.

You will then offer the girl to come with you to see Bogard. The girl will

join you. She is the Heroine in the game, Fuji. At this point, you finally

have an NP C (no n- p layab le char act er) wit h you. You can no w as k he r if your HP

is low and she will gradually heal you. After taking her along, go back to the

screen to the left. After that, go up to the screen to the north. Here, you’ll

find the entrance to the Town of Topple which is to the north. If you got lost

This is quite a small village. Upon entering the Village, you’ll see the Inn

right away. You can rest here for 10GP. Afterwards, head next screen to the
left. Then, go north to another screen. You’ll find the Item and Weapon Shops

here. You can buy a more powerful helmet here. It costs 140 GPs. If you don’t

have enough, I suggest that you leave the town first, beat some enemies, and

another bridge then head left. Here, cross the bridge and climb the vine to

the north. Here, there are 2 ladders. Climb the left one and head left to the

next screen. Here, there are 3 vines wherein you can’t reach the leftmost one.

Climb UP the nearest vine to reach the north screen. Here, just go around the

vines to reach the vine on the lower left of the Screen then climb down it.

You’ll be in a familiar screen. From here, head left to the next screen. Then,

continue up the vine until you reach a small house. Enter it. In case you are

lost, refer to the map. The house is in coordinates 5G.

==============

BOGARD’S HOUSE
==============

Item:

Mattock

Upon entering, you’ll see an old man to the left. If you talk to him, he will

just walk away from you. But on the third time, he will notice the pendant of

Fuji. Then, he will finally reveal himself as Bogard. He will talk about what

happened years ago when a woman, who wore the pendant, gave the Gemma knights

hope and was finally able to beat Vandole. After that, he will tell you go get

the Mattock in the north room. After that, he will tell you that you must use

the mattock in the caves to the east and meet a man named Cibba at the town of

W endel . W he n t he doo r ope ns , go in and t ak e t he Mat t o ck . Now , le ave Bog ar d’s

Once in the world map, head left two screens. Then, south one screen. And

then, right one screen. Here, you’ll find a general store. You can buy a

Battle Axe for 150 GPs. If you don’t have enough GP, kill enemies and then

come back and buy it. I really advise it. After buying the axe, leave the

shop. Outside the shop, head left one screen. You’ll now be in the Marshes

area.

Inside, when you talk to the man, he will tell you that you must take the

western room because the other rooms are occupied and that the door behind him

is for Mr. Lee. After talking to the man, you can go up to the room on the

north and talk to people here. After you talked to them, or not, from the

screen where the m an you first talked t o, head wes t one s creen. Then nort h one

screen. Here, sleep on the bed by walking to it. You’ll automatically sleep.

During the night, you’ll have a short scene with Fuji. She will now let you

Cure! :) After receiving the magic, you’ll continue to sleep. During the

night, you’ll notice someone talks about his/her new victim. When you finally

wake up, Fuji is gone! She was kidnapped! Now, talk to the man guarding the

door to Mr. Lee. He will deny any knowledge about Fuji. Now, leave Kett’s.

Item:
 Bronze Key

From the entrance of Kett’s, go right 3 screens. Then, go south. You’ll see

Crocs here. If you talked to the person at Kett’s (in the north room), this is

the Lizardmen he is talking about. Now, defeat ALL of the Lizardmen in this

screen. After doing that, a chest will appear in the middle. Examine it and

you’ll get the Bronze Key. Now, head back north 1 screen. You’ll see a door.

Equip your Bronze Key and go in the door.

Upon entering, you’ll see a man. Talk to him and he will tell you that a lot

of girls disappeared at Kett’s. He will offer you his help. Accept his help.

After joining, head north first. And then, to the left one screen. Here, step

on the switch at the bottom of the screen. A ladder leading down will show up

at the top left of the screen. Go down the ladder. In this new screen, you’ll
see the door where you came in and a door at the bottom. Now, move one screen

to the right. Climb down the vine to be able to reach the bottom door in the

screen to the left. Go in. Here, go right one screen. Now, if you strike the

bottom center wall, you’ll here a cranking sound. Use your mattock to destroy

the wall and reveal a new path. Now, go down south to the next screen. In

here, get the chest that you see in the middle of the screen. You’ll receive

the Sickle. You can go back as the floor will pull you back in. So, equip the

Here, the left wall can be destroyed. Use your mattock to destroy it then head

left one screen. Here, there is a door to the north. Use a key (if you have at

least 4 of them) and enter the door. You’ll see a chest in the middle. Push

the chest into the switch on the lower left. A ladder going down will appear

at the upper right. Climb that ladder. You’ll reach a small pond. If you walk

below it, your HP and MP will be restored completely. Let’s call it the

Inside, you’ll be automatically locked in. Defeat all enemies on the screen

and a chest will appear. It contains an Iron Shield. After getting the shield,

go back one screen and then go up one screen. In here, go right one screen.

You’ll see a big rock at the upper right corner. Use your mattock to destroy

it and it will reveal a ladder leading down. Here, go south one screen (go

will see. In this new area, head left one screen then south one screen. You’ll
see a locked door to the right. Use the key and enter that door. Here you’ll

see a very simple puzzle. Let’s call those clear square floors as “panels” for

the sake of this walkthrough. Now, walk on the topmost panel to reach the

upper switch. Now, use your mattock to break the rocks. After that, break the

lower set of rocks to reach the lower floor switch. Upon switching both floor

s wit che s , a ladde r le ading down will a p p e ar o n t he lowe r r ight co r n e r. G o do wn

it is to hit it in the head. The best strategy here is to use the sickle and

always stay below the hydra. Doing this, when the hydra comes forward, you can

hit it with the sickle away from the path of the fireballs. After a few hits,

it will go down.

If you are cornered, and you have the Iron Shield, you can just stand in front

of the fireballs (facing their direction) and the shield will negate it. In

simpler terms, you can block the fireballs. Of course, you can’t block the
head of the Dragon when it comes near you.

####################################################################
#########

After the fight, you’ll see 2 chests appear in the middle. The first chest

contains your second magic, Fire. After getting the chest, hack it away and

get the second chest for the Mirror. The man will tell you to show it to the

guy at Kett’s. After that, the man will leave and you’ll be taken

automatically to the world map. Head to Kett’s right away. Make sure to

prepare your character again.

KETT’S

======

Equipment:

Chain Flail

Magic:

Sleep

Now, Equip your mirror. It’s in the items inventory. And then, talk to the

man. It will go berserk and will change into a wolf man. Just use your sickle

to push it away from you at the same time damaging it. I’d like to point out

that this enemy is not a boss (you’ll know why later). After beating this

enemy, you can now enter the room to the right. So, go right two screens.

Then, go up one screen. And then, to the left one screen. In this room, use

the ladder that is going up. Now, go south one screen. Here, you’ll see 6
blocks. If you attack the right wall, you’ll hear a clink. Blast that wall

with your Mattock. After blasting away the wall, head right to the next

screen. And then, go up one screen. And then, to the right one screen and to

the south two screens. Here, go left one screen. In this room, break the jar

to reach the switch in the middle. Step on it and a ladder leading down will

door and go through it. Now, you’ll see a chest. Get it for the Chain Flail!

You will be trapped, but to no avail, use your new Chain Flail on the pole to

the right. You’ll be able to get out. Now, go around and step on the switch to

remove the block. Go back to where you broke the Jar in order to step on the

middle switch. Now, use the Ladder Going up on the upper right corner of the

room. Now, go left and use your Chain Flail to cross the gap. Move on to the

left and climb down the ladder at the end. And then, head left one screen and

then up one screen. Here, there’s a gap on the floor. First of all, you MUST

wait until your will power to fill up. Then, use the chain on the pole on the

other side. You’ll never reach it when using normal chain attacks. If you fell

down the gap, head north and climb the ladder on the upper right. In the next

ar ea , he ad down s out h . You’ ll be in t he ro om wher e t he gap is . Fro m he r e, he ad

right two screens and then up one screen. Next, left one screen. Here, push

the chest onto the switch. A ladder will appear on the upper right. Use the

ladder to go down. Here, use a Mattock and destroy the jar on the lower right.

Go down the newly revealed ladder. Here, go around the fence and to the right

one screen. Here, use a Key to open the south door then go in. There are

caskets here. Go to the 2nd from the right casket on the lowest row. You’ll
now g et Fuj i b ack . No w, head all t he way back t o t he ver y b eginning (whe re yo u

If, however, you got lost, here’s the instruction on how to get back. From the

cas ket s , head up one room t hen left one room . Use t he ladder. In t he new room,

use the top right ladder. And then, one to the right, one down, one to the

left, and then one down again. Here, use the ladder. Next, go right and cross

go north 2 screens. And then, one screen to the left then one screen to the

south. After that, head left one screen then north one screen. Use the ladder

here. Next, walk around the fence and go right one s creen. Now, head sout h one

screen then left one screen. Here, prepare your character for a boss battle.

After preparing, head to the next screen to the left. You’ll now fight Mr.

Lee.

BOSS: MR. LEE

####################################################################

EXP gained: 21

GP: 11

Attacks: Bats

Preferred Weapon: Chain

Spoils: Magic Book of Sleep (Slep Magic)

This battle isn’t hard at all, especially with the Chain flail at your

disposal. You notice that the Vampire (Mr. Lee), will move to 4 locations on
the screen. Check the diagram below (He’ll move to one of those check marks):

-------

| x |

|x x|

| x |

His attacks are plain and simple. Once he stops moving, he’ll open his cape

and bats will come right after you. You can block the bats with your shield

though.

To attack him, target his body not his wings :) If you’re far enough from him,

you can also attack the bats at the same time damaging him. Trust me, he’s

easy.

####################################################################

After beating Mr. Lee and gaining the Magic Book of Sleep, after a very short

conversation between Fuji and Sumo, you’ll be taken automatically outside of

Kett’s. It’s now time to head to Wendel.

finally kidnapped Fuji. You can’t do anything as he is very strong. He’ll beat

you up and then he’ll leave. Then, you’ll wake up at Cibba’s Room. Cibba will

tell you that Julius took her to his Airship to the west. Then, he’ll give you

This battle will be fairly easy. Just remember the pattern it does. It will

m ove in a S f or m at ion. Always re m em be r t hat it can only be dam aged by hit t ing

it’s head. Any attack to the body is null. He has only one attack (which I

think is intentionally created by Square). After you beat him, as with most of

Magapede, due to its size, especially its length, will scatter the explosion

in a very wide area so, right after you hear the explosion of the monster,

quickly move away from it! Take note that the head will follow you after you

kill it :)

After beating the Megapede, get the Silver from the chest. Then, you’ll be

automatically taken outside the Mine. Here, Watts will take care of the

You’ll fall on one of the houses in Menos. Then, you’ll see that it is

Amanda’s house. If you do not remember, Amanda was the girl you saw in the

very beginning of the game (Right after Willy passed away). Then, you’ll see

Amanda take away the pendant. When you wake up, Sumo will notice that the
pendant is gone. When you regain control of Sumo, leave the house. There’s a

stronger weapon here in Menos. From the house of Amanda, the Weapon Shop is to

So, cross the bridge to the right and go north one screen. Here, just go to

the right one screen. Cross the bridge and go north two screens. Next, go left

one screen and then north two screens. And then, go right one screen. You’ll

notice that this is where you fell at the beginning of the game. Now, go south

the gap. Examine the egg and it will hatch. It’s a Chocobo! It will follow you

because it thinks that you are its mother. You now have a New NPC, the

Chocobo! If you ASK, it will give you a ride. You’ll be much faster and safer

because enemies cannot harm you if you are on a chocobo.

Now, let’s head back to the first bridge you saw after leaving Menos. For

directions, here it is: from the Chocobo’s place, use the chain to cross the

gap. Go left to the next screen. Go up one screen, then left one screen, and

then south two screens. Next, go right one screen and then to the south two

Gold equipments. This will protect you from the enemies in this area. For the

items, from the Weapon Shop, go right one screen. You’ll see the Item Shop

Here. Now, if you talk to the kid, it will give you a hint on how to open the

Cave of Oasis. You must give him Fangs though. You can get fangs from the

Gecko’s living in the desert. It’s very rarely though, that they drop these

item. If you got Fangs, and talked to him, he will say “Palms trees and an 8”.

After buying and equipping your character, leave Jadd.

BOSS: MEDUSA

####################################################################

EXP gained: 92

GP: 70

Attacks: Snakes

Preferred Weapon: Chain

This battle will be at an average difficulty. I recommend using the chain as

it has a very long range and attack rate. To defeat Medusa, you have to hit

her head as many times as you could. Amanda will also give you support by

throwing daggers (not accurate though). She only has 1 attack. She will throw

snakes at you! Try to avoid these as they can inflict the Ston status. Don’t
worry though. If you got Stoned, just ask amanda and she’ll heal you. So, just

try to be quick while avoiding the snakes and Medusa herself, then attack her

head as fast as you can.

Also, if you have the Gold shield equipped, it can block the snakes which

Medusa throws at you.

####################################################################
#########

After beating Medusa, she will not cry therefore you cannot get the Tears of

Medusa to uncurse Amanda’s Brother. As you leave, Amanda will fell something.

She was bitten by Medusa while you were fighting. Anyone who is bitten by

Medusa will also turn into a Medusa. Amanda will turn into a Medusa anytime

now. But before she loses her mind, she will tell you to get a tear from her,

because she is now a Medusa and can uncurse her brother, and then kill her

afterwards so that she can’t hurt people. When you regain control of Sumo,

kill Amanda (you can’t move on to the story if you don’t do this). After

killing her, go to her and you’ll get the Tears of Amanda. Then, you’ll

automatically be taken outside to the world map.

Amanda’s Tear and examine the parrot. Lester will now be freed from Davias’

Curse. He will now join you to avenge Amanda as a NPC. If you ask Lester, he

will change the music for you. Let’s move on. Use the ladder which appeared.
In this new area, go right two screens. Here, equip your Mattock and then

destroy the wall to the north. And then, go north two screens. And then, head

left one screen then south one screen. Here, just step on the slippery panel

in a counter clockwise direction and use the ladders. In this new area, go

switch. Once the door is open, go in. The door will automatically lock. Defeat

all the enemies and you’ll get the Were Axe. Now, go left one screen. And

then, go up two screens. Here, equip your Mattock and break the wall to the

so just stay on the corner and hope that it won’t hit you. The damage is quite

big so prepare to heal Sumo anytime.

sell ALL your Mattocks and buy a lot of Keys. 8 Sets is what I recommend.

After buying items, you can rest on any bed to regain all your HP and MP.

then, go south one screen and enter the door at the end.

In this new area, you have to walk over the Spikes in order to move on. After

doing so, have Fuji heal you by asking her. After healing, go up one screen

and then go right one screen. Here, destroy the north wall and then go up one

screen. Next, go left one screen. Here, equip your Chain. Now, use the chain

first on the northern most pole. Now wait until your Will Bar fills up, then

use the chain on the left pole. Now, step on the switch. A ladder will appear

on the lower right corner of the room. Now, wait again until your Will Bar

fills up and then use it on the southern most pole. Now, use the ladder.

In this new area, go north one screen and then go right one screen. Next, go

south two screens. In here go right one screen first. Now, use a Key on the

right door and enter it. You’ll see a bed here where you can rest and restore

your HP and MP. After resting, from here, go all the way to the left until you

see a room filled with Werewolves, 4 chests and a ladder. All you have to do

here is to prevent hitting the 4 chests. If you accidentally hit a chest, the

ladder will disappear, so you have to leave the room and come back again.

Let’s continue. Now, go and use that ladder. In the next room, to right two

screen. Now, use your Morning Star to break the right wall. After that, go
right two screens and north one screen. In here, use the ladder at the corner.

Now, go south one screen. Here, go one screen to the right. In this room,

you’ll have to fight the Knights. After beating all the Knights in this room,

ge t t he che s t f or t he Blo od Swor d. Now, go back le f t o ne s cr e en and t hen no r t h

one screen. Here, instead of using the ladders, break the north wall and then

go north one screen and then go right one screen and use the ladder.

In this new area, go south one screen. And then go left one screen. In this

room, there are 2 floor switches. You have to use your Ice Magic to turn the

knights into Snowmen. Note that the Black Mages here cannot be turned to

s wit che s . Af t e r you’ve p ut t he 2 s nowm e n on t he s wit che s , a ladde r will appe ar

on the lower right corner. Now, use that ladder. Here, go left one screen and

then go up one screen and use the ladder in the middle. Next, go north one

screen. You’ll now notice that this is a throne room. In fact, it is Dark

Lord’s Room. Now, I suggest you do a simple level up trick.

The Dark Mages and the Knights give off a fair amount of EXP. So, beat all of

them inside the throne room and then save. And then, reset your Gameboy by

pressing A,B,Start and Select but t ons AT THE SAME TIME . Now, load your gam e

again. Do this pattern until you level up or up to how many times you want. If

you feel you’re ready, from the throne room, go left one screen. Now, prepare

your character and then SAVE the game. You’ll now face Dark Lord!

you’ll see Fuji. You’ll try to call her but she will ignore you. After you’ve

regained control of your character, go all the way to the left to the

waterfalls.

Here, you’ll see that Julius already mesmerized Fuji. Julius will tell you
that he is the only one left from Vandole and he must one again acquire the

power of Mana. Fuji will now reverse the waterfall. In you last desperate

moment to save Fuji, Julius will blast you again and you’ll fall again.

After your fall, you’ll find yourself in the world map, but you cannot move.

Then, the Chocobo will come and pick you up and brings you inside the town of

Ish.

When you wake up, you’ll find yourself in the house of Sarah together with,

guess who, Bogard! You’ll immediately stand up and begin hesitating about

what’s happening to you, about being a Gemma knight and about Mana. Then,

Bogard will tell you to shut up and you’ll get out of the house. Now, talk to

Sarah. She will tell you that she believes in you that you are the only hope

in saving the world. Then, she’ll tell you that chocobo is being treated at

Doctor Bowow’s house. Let’s head there first before going to the shops. From

Sarah’s house, go left two screens. Now, enter the house. Right before

entering, you’ll hear some weird sounds coming from the house. Inside, you’ll

see Dr. Bowow and Chocobo. Dr. Bowow will tell you that he mechanized the

Chocobo’s wounded leg and can travel by water! He named it the Chocobot! Then,

Dr. Bowow will tell you also that you are the only hope and that you should

talk to Bogard first before leaving town. So, head back to Sarah’s house and
talk to Bogard. Now, Bogard will tell you that from here onwards, your

against Vandole. You should now go and talk t o Cibba t o know more. Dr. Bowow

knows the direction but let’s ME help you this time. Now, let’s prepare your

character. Leave Sarah’s house and go to the weapon shop. And then, go buy

items at the Item Shop. After that, you’ll also notice that your HP and MP are

still the same just as it was after beating Dark Lord, so head to the Inn and

pay a small amount (10 G) to rest. After resting, from the in, go all the way

tell you to beat Lich at the Palmy Desert. I’ll just tell you how to get there

and beat Lich for the Nuke, the strongest magic in the game.
From your current location (on top of the map), go left until you see the

docks in the Desert of Crystal (Ish Area). Here, don’t go to dry land,

instead, go north three screens. You’ll see the Palmy Desert and the docks.

Use the docks to enter dry land. Now, from your current position, go left one

screen. And then go south one screen then go left one screen. Next, go south

one s cr ee n again and t he n go le f t o ne s cr ee n again . He re , go nor t h o ne s cr e en .

You’ll now see the Cave of the Palmy Desert.

are FULL as you’ll meet one of the most damaging enemy in the game! I suggest

that you use the Flame Flail as it has a fast attack and can hit Lich many

times. And don’t forget to Save. Now, if you’re ready, go north and battle

Lich.

BOSS: LICH

You must be very fast as Lich flies around quickly. He’ll also lunge at you

s o m e nas t y s k ulls t hat dam age s you a lot . And m os t o f all, D O N’T E VE R T O U CH

HIM! You’ll receive a very large amount of damage! All you have to do is to

try to evade him at the same time, hitting him with your Flail. Your Flame

Flail will be fast enough for you to move away from Lich. The only advantage

Lich can give you is that, you can hit Lich on any part of his body. So, try

to be patient.

Note: You can hit the Skulls with your weapons.

Now, if you return to Dr. Bowow, he’ll now tell you the location of the

crystal that covers the Cave of ruins. I’ll just tell you how to get there to
save time. Now, from the Cave, go back to the docks and into the water. From

here, go south three screens and you’ll arrive in the Docks at the Desert of

Crystal. Go to Dry Land and then go right one screen. Here, you’ll see 2

crystals in the middle. Use your Nuke and blast the one on the right. A cave

opening should now appear. Enter it and you’ll be in the Cave of Ruins.

You’ll have to cross the lightning barrier so that you’ll be in the middle.

When you’re inside, cure at once and then hack away with your Flame Flail.

After the battle, heal your HP to the MAX. After that, equip the Rusty Sword

and go right one screen. In here, step on the Floor Switch while you have the

at the Inn and buy Keys until you have 8 sets of it in your inventory. If

you’re ready, let’s head for the Dime Tower. I repeat, there’s no turning back

now.
From Ish, go left one screen and then south one screen and finally to the left

one screen. You’ll see the Dime Tower emerge from the ground. Now, this will

be the last time that you’ll see the world map so come here prepared. Take

note that if you go left one screen and the north one screen, you’ll see a

Magic Shop. Buy something if you need it. If you’re ready, go to the Dime

NATURE”. After seeing it, go back south one screen. You can bypass these

tablets but they have infos about Mana. Now, go right one screen. Next, go

south one screen and then go right one screen. You’ll see another tablet. It

says “THE EVIL FORCE OR PEOPLE MAKES THE TREE EVIL”. After that, go right one

screen. Next, go north one screen. From here, you can choose any of the 2
paths.

Path #1

-------

From the screen with 4 floor switches in the middle, go left one screen. Next,

go up one screen and then go left one screen. Use the ladders here. In the

screen. Now, go south two screens. You’ll see another tablet that says “ONE

WHO TOUCHES THE MANA TREE GETS THE POWER”. From here, go right one screen. Go

to meeting point...

Path #2

-------

In the screen with 4 floor switches in the middle, use your Flail to go in the

middle. Just step on all floor switches and the door to the north will open.

After that, go north one screen and use the ladders. In the next area, go up

one screen using the vines. In this screen, just enter the door. Now, go south

three screens and then go left one screen.

Meeting Point

-------------

Now, use the ladders. In the next area, go up one screen using the vines to

the left. On the next screen, enter the door. Now, go left one screen. There

are 2 locked doors here, one to the left and one to the north. Let’s call this

Point AA. Now, equip a key then go north one screen. Next, go right one
s c r e e n. Y o u c a n n o w g e t t h e D r ag o n A r m o r f r o m t h e ch e s t in t h e m i ddl e. If you

go north one screen and move on, you’ll reach a tablet that says, “GEMMA

KNIGHT WITH THE RUSTY SWORD WILL BE TESTED. THE TRUE GEMMA KNIGHT SHOULD BE

GIVEN THE LEGENDARY SWORD, EXCALIBUR...!”. Now, go back to Point AA. If you go

left one screen, you’ll s ee anot her t ablet that says “KING OF VANDOLE GOT THE

MIGHTY POWER OF MANA. THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN STAND AGAINST IT IS THE... GEMMA

KNIGHT... WITH THE... EXCALIBUR...”. Let ’s go t o Point AA again. From here, go

north one screen again. Here, destroy the left wall and go through it to the

next screen. Then, use the ladders. In the next screen, just use the other

ladder. In the next area, equip your axe and hack the 2 trees that are

covering the 2 monsters. Be careful not to hit them. If you accidentally

killed one of them, just save and then restart the game again. Now, once the

trees are gone, use your Ice and turn them into snowmen. The north door will

now open. Then, go north one screen and then go right one screen.

Y’oull see another tablet that says “THE VANDOLE SOON SHOULD FALL. WE LEAVE

OUR LAST HOPE IN THE CAVE OF THE WATERFALLS. GLORY TO VANDOLE AND TO OUR
CHILD

OF HOPE...!”. Now, go south one screen and use the ladder there. In the next

screen, prepare your character for a boss fight. If you’re already prepared,

go north one screen and face...

BOSS: GARUDA

I suggest you use the Flame Flail as it can attack more times than the other

right. Just attack and attack while you’re in the corner. Once he charges,

just follow him. You’ll receive no damage at all. Your Flail will destroy all

Feather Blades that he throws at you.

####################################################################

After the battle, the tower will crumble. It lost its balance. One you regain

control of your character, go left one screen. In the next screen, you can

t ak e advant age of Mar cie f or t he las t t im e. Eq uip your Cur e m agic and t he n use

it until your HP is at full. Then, ASK Marcie to restore all MPs! After doing

this trick, go left one screen.

Now, a piece of the tower will fall. You can’t go to the other side. Marcie

will then kick you so that you can reach the other side. Once you reach the

other side, you’ll see a sad scene. Marcie is unable to jump. The Dime Tower

will come crashing down including Marcie. Sumo will have a surge of emotion

afterwards (he’ll shout).

=============
GLAIVE CASTLE

=============

When you regain control of Sumo, keep moving left. You’ll notice that you’re

at Glaive Castle. You don’t have to enter the castle itself. Go all the way to

the left towards the waterfalls. Once you reach it, it’s current will now go

up and Sumo will go for it. You’ll be taken WAY WAY up until you reach the

top. You’re now at the Final Dungeon in the game, the Temple of Mana.

==============

TEMPLE OF MANA

==============

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

SUPER TIP #1:

You can get Elixirs from the Ninja’s right? Now, if your item inventory is

full and you examine a chest left by a ninja, it will say “Can’t Carry” right?

Now, here's something great. Keep on examining it and you’ll get the most

powerful Armor in the game, the Samurai Armor.

SUPER TIP #2:

T h e D e v i l H e a ds h e r e t h a t ca n o n l y be d e s t r o y e d by u s in g t h e N u k e Ma g i c, g iv e

off X-Ethers. If you do the same thing as you did to the Ninja, you’ll be able

to get the most powerful Helmet in the game, the Samurai Helmet.
SUPER TIP #3:

The Elephants near the last boss will give you a Unicorn. If you do the same

thing as you did with the Ninjas and the Devil Heads, you’ll get the most

powerful shield in the game, the Aegis Shield. It can deflect ANY projectile

attack at you. Even the strong force balls of the last boss.

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

Now, move on until you enter the Temple itself. Inside, just go south one

screen and then go right two screens. Next, go north two screens. In here,

equip a key and go north one screen and then use the ladders. In the next

area, prepare your character for a boss fight. After the preparations, go

north one screen and face...

BOSS: DRAGON

This is a very easy fight. Just use your Flail or Spear to attack the Head

ONLY. You can’t damage any other part of its body.

####################################################################

After the fight, use the teleporter that appears. In the next screen, just go

the teleporter.

In the next screen, go left one screen. Here, go north one screen and then go

left two screens and use the teleporter at the end. In the next area, just go

right to the next screen and use the teleporter. In the next area, go south

one screen. Here, destroy the left wall then go left two screens. Next, go

south one screen. Here, go left one screen and use the teleporter. Next, go

left one screen and then go south one screen. Now, in this room, there’s a

trapped monster in the bottom of the screen. Now, equip your Ice Magic and use

to turn the monster into a snowman. Your Ice can pass through the circle

thingy (whatever) so you can reach it. It’s easy to guide your icicle, just

try again if you fail. If you successfully turned the monster into a snowman,

the right door will open. Now, go right one screen and use the ladder. In the

next screen, prepare your character again for another boss. If you’re prepared

go north one screen.

BOSS: RED DRAGON

####################################################################

EXP gained: 0

GP: 257

It’s just the same as the previous dragon. Just use your Flail or Spear to

After you beat the Red Dragon, use the teleporter that will appear. In the

next area, just go left one screen and use the teleporter. Now, go right one

go right one screen and use the teleporter.

Now, go south one screen and then go right one screen. Now, let’s call this

screen Point BB. From here, go right one screen and use the teleporter. In the

next screen, go left one screen using a key. Use the Recovery Spring and then

go back to Point BB. From here, go south one screen and use the teleporter.

Now, go left one screen and use the teleporter. When you reach the next area,

go right five screens. Here, you’ll see a lot of floor switches formed in a

Floor Switch. In the left COLUMN of switches, the correct one is the ones

which is second from below. Put the snowman there and the door to the north

will open. Now, go north three screens and use the ladder. In the next screen,

just like a while ago, prepare your character again. If you’re ready, go north

one screen.

BOSS: DRAGON ZOMBIE

####################################################################
#########
EXP gained: 0

GP: 270

Attacks: Fire Ball, Charge Attack

Preferred Weapon: Flame Flail or Thunder Spear

The Dragon Zombie looks like the two-headed dragon you fought way back at the

Cave of Marsh. All you have to do is to attack the head with your flail or

spear. Beware though, if his fireballs hit you or you accidentally touched it,

it will deal a big amount of damage compared to the previous 2 dragons.

####################################################################
#########

After the battle, use the teleporter that will appear. From here on, the path

is pretty straight forward to the final boss! You can now use my Super Tip #3

to get the Aegis shield for the best protection. Now, on the way, you’ll see

Fuji’s Mom. She’ll tell you that you have been a great Gemma knight. She will

now bestow you with the most powerful weapon in the game, the Excalibur! Equip

it right away then move on. NOW READ CAREFULLY. When you reach the area where

you can see 2 big trees to the left and right and a big ladder in the middle,

p r e p a r e y o u r c h a r a c t e r f o r t h e f i n a l b a t t l e! I r e c o m m e n d l e v e l 5 0 + w h e n y o u ’ r e

here. You can level up your character by beating the elephants here until you

reach level 50. If you’re ready go up the ladder and fight Julius!

NOTE: YOU WILL RECEIVE EXP AND GP!!! This very odd! The EXP is useful as you

can level up while you fight Julius. But the GP? It’s useless.
FINAL BOSS: JULIUS (3 Forms) 162438 - 61535

####################################################################

N o t e : Y o u s h o u l d u s e t h e E x c a l i b u r S w o r d . B u t i f y o u w a n t s o m e ch a l le n g e , t r y

using the Broad Sword! :) And, in all three forms of Julius, the charging

attack of the MAXed sword is the most efficient attack to use.

FIRST FORM:

-----------

Attacks: Sword

EXP: 638

GP: 818

Julius will be in triplets. You just have to attack and beat all three until

all of them disappears. After that, prepare for Julius’ second form.

SECOND FORM:

------------

Attacks: Lightning Bolts, Charging Attack

EXP: 0

GP: 162

He will turn into a monster now and Julius will be harder to avoid this time.

He’ll be flying on top while throwing Lightning bolts. From time to time, he

will als o charge downwards s o t ry t o be always by his s ide. He can char ge from

left to right or vice versa though.

THIRD FORM:

-----------

Attacks: Teleportation, Force Ball

EXP and GP: No more

He will turn into a head with 2 arms. He will teleport from one place to

another. There is a pattern but I won’t include it in the guide. Also, while

teleporting from place to place, he will be throwing force balls at you. With

you Aegis Shield, the force balls are NOTHING! He will be hard to beat, but

with Fuji as your companion, you can ASK her to regenerate your HP while

fighting. What I did was I also equipped the Nuke at the same time, attacking

with the Excalibur. These made short work of him!

####################################################################
#########

After you beat all 3 forms of Julius, you’ll see a short scene. It’s somewhat

sad but happy at the same time. I won’t spoil it, just finish the game. :)

Well, that’s it for the best RPG for the Gameboy (My rechargeable batteries

got a beating). So, thank you for reading the guide and congratulations! I

hope you enjoyed the game! Until then. C’ya!
