I) INTRODUCTION:
My first time writing a RPG Walkthrough. I love RPG games. If
you have questions or comments about RPG Games. Feel free to
contact me at Bobby_he@yahoo.com.
Note: I started off the game with the warrior but than I was having
a hard time killing the bosses. I tried again with the Wizard. I
will list the Book spell, which I got as a Wizard and the items.
Start game:
'The Dark Dragon that scorched the world with its
destructive fire'
'The gods sent the Shining Warriors to defeat the
Dark Dragon'
Wow! What's Going to happen...
Hmm...
Oh!
I think I have a visitor
I see, you are here to see my grandpa!
Sorry but I'm afraid he is not here at the moment
Oh yes...
Read this book while you wait!
It's very interesting!
II) CHARACTERS
Warrior:
His attack power is good and he can use a lot
of weapon. His hint points are high. Start of with:
ATK:20
DEF: 3
DEX: 15
STR: 15
VIT: 15
INT: 0
Wizard:
She has no attack power and cannot use weapons
at all but the best part is that she can use
spell. I consider her the best charcter to be
selected. Start with:
ATK: 0
DEF: 0
DEX: 10
STR: 5
VIT: 10
INT: 20
Note: The INT represent magic points and the power of the spell.
The higher the INT, the more magic you will have and the powerful
the spell will be.
Archer:
The weakest character in the game. You can equip with bows.
Low hints points and attack power. Not consider a good
to be picked. Unless you want to play a very challenging
game. Start with:
ATK: 17
DEF: 3
DEX: 20
STR: 13
VIT: 12
INT: 0
Dragonute:
A dragon with a lot of attack power. He can equip a lot of weapons,
high hint points but the defense is kind of weapon. If you just want
someone to attack and attack, he is the character to pick.

and Money. It is best to put your money in the bank before you

money is going to be gone.

A place where you buy weapon, to increase your attack power.
It is the best choice to buy the most expensive weapon. When

Second time when I beat Area 1 and Area 2. I am sure you can track
him down from his hiding place. Remember the item is not very
important. You can buy it or find it in your journey, to fight
the black dragon.

V) WALKTHROUGH
Note: I am using the wizard to write this walkthrough.
VI) Area 1: Best Mountain
Note: You have to kill all the enemies to open a door to the next level.
Attack all the monsters you see to get level and remember to increase
the attack power of the spell to level one, especially the blaze
magic. There are 3 levels before you face the boss. When
you see a red teleporter, it means you have to enter and fight the
best. If you feel like your hint points is too low, use the
Angel feather and go back to town and heal and come back to the
red teleporter and fight the boss.
Note: After you gain a level, press Start and go to the status menu to increase
your hero power. You change the Status point or skill point. You will get 4 points when
you reach a level but the skill point, you only will get one per level.
Boss: Beast Mountain.
Attack the boss with blaze and watch out for him when he turn
into a ball. Attack him when he is standing.
Run when he turns into a ball.
He will round left, right, top, and bottom.
Repeat the process and you will kill him.
You will not have trouble killing him.
Beat him and grap the chest and head back to town.
VII) Area 2: Labyrinth Death Shadow
Attack your way through 7 leves. Increase your fire spell, ice spell
and heal spell. These spell are very important when you get further
into the game.
Boss: Titan Fighter
Attack the left metal. Watch out for the laser coming from the left and
right size. The Titan also use the left and right hand to attack you.
When it explodes, a ball comes out and attack you. Run and try to
ignore the attack and keep attacking it with your fire. Charge your
fire power to level 1 or leve 2 and releash it. Piece of cake. Grab
the chest and head back to town.
VIII) Area 3: Egual Dungeon
Attack your way through a mountian of 10 levels. You will meet
a lot of new enemies here, like the Horseman, stoneman and etc.
Grab every treasure chest you see and increase
your magic power again.
Boss: Bulzam
Watch out for the dragon fireball attack. Stay away from
the dragon when he is using fireball attack. He also uses laser.
Attack when he is using laser and swaying fire attack. Watch out
or the swaying fireball will attack you. Hit and run. You will
defeat him in no time. Grab the chest after you are done.
IX) Area 4: Forest of Another World
Walk through a 10 levels forest. Grab the mushroom but beware. Some of
the mushrooms are poisionous. You will meet enemies, like flying
birds, archers and ice ghost. Watch out the archers. They attack
you from the corner of the forest when you didn't see them. Also,
some of the blue trees can be walked through.
Boss: Michaela
The boss is hard. There are four Michaelas, you have hit the right one.
All of enemies throw ice and lighting at you. You can dodge the ice but
you have to beware of the lighting. It can kill you easily. When you
hit the right Michaela, she will disappear and reappear at a different
location. Now, you know where is the real Michaela, keep attacking her
until she is dead. Grab the chest and go back to town.
X) Area 5: Glaybull Temple
You will meet new enemies, like the red mummies, skeletons,
mage and etc. Watch out the purple skeletons that use
lighting. Kill it if you see them in sight. Also watch out
for the gargoles that throw fireball.
You can teleport to another location when you see
a yellow teleporter. Ascend up to 10 levels.
Boss: I- Ohm
Kill the two enemies that keep following you first.
They will freeze you and slow your speed down. Boost up your
magic power and attack the enemy before the worms reappear
again. Watch out for the flying spirts that are coming out
of the boss. Continue the process of killing the worms and
attacking the boss. You will the boss. Eventually, you will win.
Get the chest and head back to town.
XI) Area 6: Deol Waterway
Walk your through your way in a Waterway, 10 levels.
Watch out for the fire throwing wolf. It keeps throwing
fireball at you. The fireball is much better than the one
you are using. Also, watch out for the red dragon. They are
strong and has a high hint points. Attack and run. Watch out
for the PURPLE MAGES. They are the most powerful enemies you
will fight in your journey. They kill on using lighting.
It can kill you easily. Kill them instant if you see them but
run when they are a lot of purple mages. You will what I mean
when you fight them.
Boss: Zeon
The boss will pop out of the holes. You will never know which
one he will pop out. Charge up your fire ball and releash it
when he comes out of the hole that is close to your hero.
Watch out for the poisonous smoke. If it hurts you, you better
go to the corner and heal yourself with the healing book.
Zeon will also swim around the river, charge up your spell
power and go to the left size and hit him. Repeat the process
and you will beat him. Get the treasure chest and head back
to town.
XII) Area 7: Dark Tower
Ascend your way up to the tower. Watch out for the PURPLE Mages.
They will kill you easily. Watch out for the purple gargoles.
They will or they can be annoying but throwing fireballs at you.
There is a new enemy. The flying robtos. There are yellow spirts
that use lighting. Kill the yellow spirts when you see one. Also,
there are four leg robots. Kill them instantly if you find them
or they are going damage your hero with lighting. You will
encounter a new enemy, the ice dragon. Run and attack.
Boss: Dark Soul
Dark Soul has a lot of hit points. It took me about twenty minutes
to kill him. Dark soul has four swords that surround him.
Red, yellow, green and purple. When he picks red, he will
throw powerful fireball at you. Green, nothing is going to happen.
Purple, he is going to throw ice at you. Watch out for the yellow.
Lighting, it is very hard to dodge this attack. The best way is
to stand at the top of Dark Soul when he picks yellow. Run when
the color of yellow is being picked. Dodge and attack. That is the
only way to beat him. Remember to build your blaze power to level
four and releash. Also, remember to head with your healing book.
After he is defeated, grab the chest and go back to town.
XIII) Area 8: Dark Castle
Ascend your way up to the castle. The trip is long, longer than the
other areas you have gone through. Killing all the enemy. There are
new enemies, like white flying robots, white archery, purple birds
and etc. Remember to change your magic to ice when you are fighting
enemies that have high fire resistance.
Boss: Dark Dragon
Dark Dragon has three heads. Two on the left size and the middle one.
The best strategy to defeat the boss is to destroy the two heads on
the left size. Charge up your fireball to level four or five and
releash it. The two heads will reappear after a few minutes but
it give you some time to charge up your blaze power and hit the middle
head. The middle head only shoot out fireball, dodge it and hit it
with your fireball. Remember to aim it right. You don't have to
wait for the middle head to hit the group before you shoot out your
fireball. Remember to charge up to level 4 with your fireball, aim
and hit it. Continue the process and you will beat the final boss.
XIV) Conclusion
Yes. You have beaten the game. The quest is over. You will see that
the Dark Dragon cannot be beaten. The only thing you can do is to
use a sword and seal it for 1,000 years. The quest is over. You can
exit the teleporter. Before you leave, you can save your game. The
end.
I want to thanks Gamefaqs for posting my walkthrough and thanks
sega for making a better Shining Soul than the one on SEGA
Entertainment System. I am just joking.
