100 years ago, 4 evil beings came down to earth calling themselves, the Sinistrals. They inhabited an island floating in the sky which the people called Doom island. The Sinistrals took over the world causing death and destruction wherever they went. The people called upon their most experienced and heroic fighters, Maxim, Selan, Artea, and Guy to defeat the Sinistrals. The battle between Maxim, Selan, Artea, Guy and Sinistrals became to be known as the Battle of Doom sland. Maxim, Selan, Artea, and Guy defeat the Sinistrals but Selan is badly hurt from the fight and cannot warp back to earth with Maxim, Artea, and Guy. Maxim cannot leave his love to die on Doom island so he stays behind with her. Both perish when Doom island crashes into the sea. 100 years later, the Sinistrals return and it is up to you, Lufia, Aguro, and Jerin to defeat the Sinistrals just as your ancestor, Maxim, had done before.
Q: How do I rescue the King from Sheran castle?
A: After you check out Sheran, go back to Alekia and report to the king and commander of the Alekian army. Then go to Alekian Inn and speak to Lufia. Lufia is still mad at you for leaving her but she soon comes to her senses. Leave Alekia to go back to Sheran. Lufia will follow you and join your party. Then, as you are going through the cave to go to Sheran, you will find Danil, who will give you the key to Sheran castle. You then will be able to unlocked the locked doors. In one locked room, there is a switch which will open a trapdoor to the dungeon. You will find this trapdoor by going into one of the rooms at the top left or right corners of the castle. Go all the way down and you will meet the King and the other prisoners.
Q: Where do I find the Maberia?
A: The Maberia can be found near the Exit of the North Cave by Treck. The ship is guarded by three Goblins. These Goblins are very tough so I would recommnd building your parties levels up to 9. After you defeat the Goblins, you will sail the Maberia back to Treck.
Q: I can't find Aguro after he leaves us in Lorbenia
A: Go to the top store of the big shop in Lorbenia. A young man will steal Lufia's money and run away. After catching this young man, go to the Inn and talk to the Inn keeper. Stay the night and in the morning, Aguro will find you.
Q: How do I defeat the Apprentice?
A: The Apprentice is very hard to beat mostly because you fight him one on one with Hero. Be sure to use the 2 Mid Arrows found on the top floor of the Tower that the Apprentice is in. These together will do about 100 points of damage. Also equip the Hero with the Sonic Ring to Increase his Agility. Cast the Great Potion to add more HP to the Hero's Max and Power Potion to Increase the Hero's strength. Whenever you are hurt, be sure to heal yourself quickly because the Apprentice can easily do 30 points of damage with his Jolt spell.
Q: I can't find Reyna, the little girl that ran away to the ghost cave!
A: There is one room in the cave where on the left and right sides are land bridges. And below the bridges are treasure chests. When you try to cross the land bridges, a fall through a hole. Instead, go in between the land bridges (Above the treasure chests) and walk across. There is an invisible bridge which you cross. The room looks like this:
Q: How do I defeat the Phantasm in the Ghost Cave?
A: The Phantasm is quite tough. I would recommend using Lufia's Drain spell to lower his defensive power. Keep casting this on the Phantasm. Then make sure you find the Ghost Ring(found in Ghost Cave). If the Hero or Aguro is equiped with the ghost ring, fight the Phantasm with the person wearing the Ghost Ring. Use the one who is not wearing the Ghost ring to use potions to heal the wounded. If everyone has enough HP, then fight with the person not wearing the ghost ring. Just repeat this and you should have no problem defeating the Phantom.
Q: Where are the three Gems I need for the three towers?
For a more detailed solution to the three gems problem, go to the Three Gems Hint Page.
A: The Blue Gem is in the Red tower. The green Gem is in the Blue tower. And in the Green tower you will find a broken Gem. You will need to find a new one. Go back to the Medan mines, and the old man at the back of the cave will give you the real Hope Ruby. The order you should place the Gems is: Blue Gem in the Blue tower, Green Gem in the Green tower, and lastly, place the Red Gem in the Red tower. In that order. Now, the Blue Gem is hard to find, partly because you can not find it until you have defeated Ghost at the top of the Red Tower. If you remember, the poisonous swamp near the red tower is there because of the ghost, so once you kill the ghost, the swamps will disappear. There is also a room in the red tower that was once filled with poisonous swamp. Now that the swamp is gone, you can now fully explore this room. At the lower end of the room is a treasure chest that was once hidden by swamp, but now you can see it. In the chest is the Blue gem :)
Q: How do I defeat the Dark Ghost in the Red Tower?A: The Ghost can be tough, if you're not prepared for it. I would suggest having all of your guys in the 18-19 level range. It will also help a little bit if you equip Aguro with the Ghost Ring found in the Ghost Cave north of Kirof. Start out Right away by Attacking with Aguro, but have the Hero and Lufia use their Drain spells to lower the Ghosts defense. Do whatever you want with Jerin. (Try and build Jerin up to level 20 so that the Hero, Lufia, and Jerin all have the spell Stronger.) Do this for the first few rounds. Then the Ghost will use his Water spell that will hurt your party with 30-50 HP of damage. This is where Stronger comes in. Use The Hero, Jerin, and Lufia to heal, while Aguro continues to attack. Always attack with Aguro unless you absolutely have to use him for something else. Also watch out for when the Ghost uses absorb. He can take away a lot of MP from you. The Ghost will regain his Defense after a few rounds so use Drain again. Once Drain takes away 20 or less Defense points, keep Draining with Lufia but attack with The Hero. Now the Ghost should be pretty hurt. If he starts to heal himself, then you know he's almost dead. Now do an all out attack with Jerin, The Hero, Aguro, and if you want to stop Draining, attack with Lufia also. Eventually, the Ghost will disappear, and the Water Fairy will be saved.
Q: How do I cross the Cave near Ranqs?
A: When you try to leave the cave near Ranqs, you will have difficulty proceeding. Go to a little cave east of Ranqs and you will find an old man who has most of the directions to exit the cave. They are: Up1, Right 2, Up 1, Right2, Up 4, Left 3, Down 1, Left 2, Down 1, Left 2, Up 2, Right 1, Up 1, Right 2, Then all the way up. You need to start in the doorway of this mysterious room.
Q: How do I get to Arus?
A: The bridge to Arus is collasped so you will need to get someone to fix it. A repair man at Odel castle says he will repair the bridge with his friend at Lyden. Get him. Then he tells you to check out the bridge. Go left from Odel castle. You will come to a lake. Go under the lake and follow it to a bridge. Cross the bridge to a cave. In the cave is the bridge. Go back to Odel castle and get the carpenters. They then tell tell you to stand on a ledge and watch them work. You get to the ledge by going into one of the three caves entrances. These are called the West caves. Just work your way left through the cave and you will get to the ledge.
Q: How do I defeat the Guardian in the Tower of Light?
A: This guy is tough. He practically constantly uses a magic attack, either Flame or Blizzard. He also uses Drain and Absorb occasionally. Flame and Blizzard will be bad for Aguro, so give him the Yellow Ring to wear to raise his Magic Resistence. Right away in battle, have the Hero and Lufia use Drain twice each. This'll lower his very high Defense power. Don't even bother using magic to attack him. He's got amazing MGR. Use Aguro to attack throughout the entire battle unless it is absolutely necessary to use him to heal or whatever. Use the Hero to heal, because you'll get hurt almost every round. If you're doing ok HP wise, use him to attack. Use Lufia and Jerin to heal party members, or if you can, use Lufia's Drain spell, because the Guardian regains lost Defense. If everything goes ok, you'll defeat the Guardian, and meet Amon and Gades.
Q: Where do I find Alumina?
A: Here are the locations of all 7 pieces of Alumina:
The Purple Newt can be found at a cave east of Herat. To get to this cave, go straight down from Aisen island. You will hit desert like land. Go all the way down then east across a bridge. Then North across another bridge. The cave entrance is here. Search the cave for the purple newt. Then go to Lyden. At one of the backeries is a basement. In the basement is the Wizard of taste. Give him the newt and he will give you the Magic taste formula. Go to the chef in Herat castle and give him the Magic Taste. He will serve the king and the king will reward you by giving you his Jewel collection, the Alumina is in this Jewel collection.
Q: What order do I step on the switches in Aisen Tower?
A: After all possible combinations, the last one worked so I don't know if you have to go through all of the combinations to open the door or not. The combination I got was Upper Left, Lower Right, Lower Left, Upper Right.
Q: How do I defeat Bosun and the Pirates in Aisen Tower?
A: These 2 really aren't that tough, HP wise, but are a challenge nonetheless. First of all, kill Bosun. He's the little guy on the left. He will cast spells on the big Pirate to regain his HP or raise his ATP and DFP. Once Bosun's out of the way, its just a matter of time before you kill the big guy. Throughout most of the match, the 2 pirates will use different kinds of arrows to change the status of your team members. Your guys will be confused, paralyzed, and put to sleep, so be ready to use awaken and what-not to regain your noraml status. Also, if Jerin is level 32 or above, she will have the spell Mirror, which reflects all enemy magic. If you cast Mirror on Aguro, it will protect him from Flood, which the big guy will use later in the fight. It will also protect your characters from status changing magic. Attack with Aguro and the Hero, and if you must heal with the Hero, do so. I didn't really find any magic that was greatly effective against these 2 pirates, but that doesn't mean you can't use it. If all goes well, you will defeat the pirates, and rescue Lou.
Q: Where is the Dual Blade?
A: The Dual Blade fell into the sea with Doom Island. To go below the surface into Doom Island, enter one of the Whirl Pool like circles. Swim around until you see a large cave opening. Enter it and go through the cave until you reach Doom Island fortress. The Dual Blade is here.
Q: How do I get Power Oil?
A: The Power Oil is being guarded by the Oil dragon in Oil cave. You will first need to find Hedge, who will give you the key to the Oil Cave. He is North of Epro. To get to Oil cave, enter one of the Whirlpools (eddys) and exit through the other Eddy. You will then find the entrance to Oil cave. Kill the dragon and you will get the Power Oil.
Q: How do I defeat the Oil Dragon?
A: I don't find the Oil Dragon all that challenging, but I will still tell you how I beat him. First of all, use The Hero and Lufia to cast Drain, this will lower his defense. Then use Aguro to attack. If you found the Dragon Ring in the Oil Cave earlier, have Aguro equip it. Use Jerin to either heal, or use her Mirror spell to repel against the Dragon's powerful fire attacks. For the rest of the battle, use Lufia to either cast her Thunder spell, which is quite effective against the Dragon, or use Lufia to heal anyone who may be hurt. Also use the Hero to either fight or heal. Everything should go fine, and eventually you'll kill the dragon. The Power Oil is in the chest behind him.
Q: Which switch do I step on to get to the Top of Glasdar Tower?
A: The middle switch should do it.
Q: How do I defeat Nazeby?
A: Nazeby is the last enemy you'll fight before the Sinistrals. I do not believe Nazeby is all that tough, but if I write about him, I have an excuse to use his picture. Now that Jerin has Mirror, use her to constantly cast that spell on the party one by one. This will make you virtually untouchable by Nazeby. Then use The Hero, Aguro, and even Lufia to fight. Of course have Lufia use magic... Hopefully your level will be high enough so that the Hero has Valor, which restores all of your party's HP. If you're ever seriously hurt, use this spell. After a few rounds, Nazeby will die, and you continue on with your quest.
Q: How do I defeat the Sinistrals?
A: The Sinistrals are easy. Almost too easy. First you fight Gades. He's really the only Sinistral that will do some damage to you. Just fight him like you would any boss. He doesn't use magic, so don't bother using Mirror. Use Trick on the Hero and Aguro to boost your ATP. Gades will eventually die. Now, for the next three guys, Amon, Daos, and Guard Daos, use this hint. Use Jerin's mirror on everyone in the party, and simply attack with Hero and Aguro. It's flawless. As long as you constantly keep casting the mirror on everyone in your party, they can't hurt you! Amon, Daos, and Guard Daos never attack without magic! So they're easy. Lufia will join you for Guard Daos. Do what ever you want with her. That's how ya do it. Now sit back, and watch the ending unfold.
Q: What do the Dragon Eggs do?A: When you collect 8 Dragon Eggs, and there are only 8 across the world at a time, take them to the Dragon Shrine which is located in the southern desert west of Herat. The Dragon will then give you 4 options. You can either raise everyone's level up by 2, Get the Might Shield, Get the Might Bow, or have the Dragon use 3 of every kind of Potion on everyone in your team. (Mind Potion, Great Potion, etc...) I always choose to have my guys leveled up by 2.
Q: Where do I find the Dragon Eggs?
A: Here are three sets of eight Dragon Egg locations:
First eight dragon eggs:
