AUTHOR'S NOTE:
This isn't meant so much as a FAQ or a Walkthrough as it is a collection of useful
information while playing Shining Force 3. There are a few pieces of missing
information, but overall I believe that there is much to be gotten from it.
If any readers of this FAQ have information that could help it out, feel free
to e-mail me at the address above.
This FAQ may be posted anywhere so long as it is left unchanged.
I'd like to thank Snarf's weapon FAQ on RPGFan for supplementing my
weapon information. I would also like the thank "The Shining Force Homepage"
at http://www.seh.de/private/wl/sf-web/index.shtml for supplying the wonderful
character portraits.
NOTE: This document is best read in WordPad with wrapping disabled.
-PARALLEL STORY LINES-
Shining Force 3 is a very special story in that it can be played through three
different sets of eyes via the three different scenarios available. Each scenario
consists of six chapters of gameplay, and Scenario 3 has a final conclusion
chapter at the end that uses the characters from all three scenarios. The
diagram below shows roughly how the actual plot timeline of the three
adventures relate to each other, with the numbers indiciating points in the
story where the three main characters meet each other. Note that the length
of the chapters indicates plot time passed, not actual gameplay. All chapters
consist of 4 or 5 battle scenarios.

-WEAPONS-
Most of your soldiers will have a choice between 3 or 4 weapon types during the game.
Some weapons are stronger than others, while others have more impressive special
techniques available. When selecting a weapon for a character, don't necessarily
just upgrade what the character comes with, but pick one weapon that you would
like to develop and *stick with it*. As you take actions with a weapon equipped
(even using herbs, breaking barrels, etc.), your skill level with the weapon
type will increase. The higher your skill level with a weapon, the more special
techniques will be available and the higher the Attack bonus will be of equipping
the weapon. Although limiting yourself to one weapon type will allow you to
gain skills faster, do not ignore the possibility of using more than one type.
For example, Soldiers can keep a Dagger in inventory to attack enemies beyond
the range of the heavier swords. Characters who can use weapons from different
classes (David, Spiriel, etc.) can keep several different weapons in inventory
in order to fully take advantage of the enemy's weaknesses based on their
equipped weapons. Ultimately, it is up to you to select how to build your
characters' weapon skills. Also don't neglect your spellcasting characters.
Even though they rarely strike the enemy directly with weapons, the skill
of their weapon affects their magic strength as well as the maximum casting
level for the spell granted by their weapon. Usually, this level matches
the skill level or one-half the level for 2-level spells. (ie. having a
Wand skill of Lv.2 with an Angel Wand allows you to cast Blaze Lv.2).
Even though the Ankh weapons seem to be fitting for priests, try giving
your priest a Wand or Rod instead. Ankhs tend to enable helpful spells
like Support and Aura which Priests learn anyway, so they would benefit
more from an offensive spell. Likewise, try giving your Magicians and
Shamans Ankhs for a change of pace. Having another spellcaster with
the Aura spell is generally more helpful than having just another
attack spell.

BATTLE SCENARIOS:
Chapters are listed in gameplay order by disc. NOTE indicates a special event or
circumstance that affects characters that join you immediately or later, or valuable
items that require some forethought to acquire. HELP indicates my personal suggestions
on areas that can be a bit tricky.
GENERAL RUINS STRATEGY: There are 18 ruins in the game, one in each chapter of each
disc. Ruins are special optional maps that your soldiers (except your main character)
can explore to retrieve items from thieves. In order to open a ruin, you need a map
specific for that ruin. These maps are almost always located in a chest in the previous
city. Regular chests can be opened by your soldiers, but the silver-lined chests are
locked and can only be opened by thieves. Since the thieves move quickly, it is imperative
that you get as many high-mobility soldiers as you can inside the ruins on the first turn it
is opened. The ideal situation is to have your highest-agility character open the ruins,
then have several other soldiers (preferably knights, warriors with tomahawks, archers with
a mobility enhancement, etc.) enter the ruins so they'll be ready to chase the thieves and
attack to retrieve the items before they escape. Bear in mind that your soldiers will be
forced to exit the ruins permanently if all the thieves are either defeated or escape.
There are many complications that can foil a ruins expedition, but many valuable items can
be obtained.
--Disc 1--
-Chapter 1-
*Synbios the Soldier joins
*Dantares the Knight joins
*Masqurin the Magician joins
*Grace the Priest joins
Battle #1: Saraband Market Square
Battle #2: Saraband Docks
NOTE: Destroy the barrel on the pier during battle to have access to the ship afterwards.
NOTE: Rescue Garosh for him to join later in disc 2. (Though this means you won't have Jade.)
*Hayward the Archer joins (if not killed during battle)
Battle #3: To Balsamo
NOTE: Rescue Barnard from secret passage in Balsamo Lodge to get him to join in disc 2.
*Obright the Warrior joins
Battle #4: Dwarf Valley
Battle #5: To Railhead *Chapter 1 Ruins: Dwarf Hill
-Chapter 2-
Battle #6: Railhead Cargo Hold
HELP: Saving Irene can be difficult. Have Dantares and Obright enter the right hole in the
crates near the starting position and exit through the rear right tunnel. Speak with
Irene or use a Medical Herb on her as quickly as possible, and protect her from harm.
*Irene the Monk joins (if not killed during battle)
*Julian the Soldier joins
Battle #7: Escape from Railhead *Chapter 2 Ruins: Blue Ruins
Battle #8: Rescuing Refugees
HELP: Saving the refugees can be very difficult. Have Dantares move toward the rail switch as
directly as possible while Synbios, Obright, and Julian move straight down to cross the
tracks before the train arrives. When moving the refugees, check the mobility range of
each so they are moved in the most efficient pattern, and are always outside the
enemy soldiers' attack range. If a refugee must be placed in a dangerous position, note
that one of them has more HP than the others as well as a Medical Herb. Have your
soldiers engage the enemy troops as quickly as possible and move the refugees right
to safety once they cross the tracks.
NOTE: Each group member will gain 10 experience for each refugee rescued.
*Cybel the Knight joins
NOTE: Use Chicken Feed on box chicken to get it to follow you if you want Penn later.
Battle #9: Inside the Train
*Eldar the Birdsoldier joins
Battle #10: Bandit Chief Shiraf
-Chapter 3-
Battle #11: Quonus Graveyard
NOTE: Do not attack Kyon-Shi and let Kahn dispel them if you want Noon to join later.
HELP: To use Kahn efficiently, realize that he will always attempt to follow Synbios.
Do not move Synbios beyond Kahn's mobility range, or else he will walk slowly. Kahn
will also not move through your own soldiers, so keep a clear path between him and
Synbios that allows him to reach the Kyon-Shi. Also be wary of standing next to Irene
if you have a Friendship with her, since Kyon-Shi can be killed by counter attacks.
*Kahn the Monk joins
Battle #12: Quonus Mansion
HELP: This battle can turn bad very quickly if your soldiers are unorganized when the Vandal
appears. Draw the Skeletons, Liches, and Succubus out and defeat them before engaging
the Vandal in combat. When only the Vandal is left, approach slowly in a checkered
formation so he can only affect one soldier at a time with his magic until his MP is
exhausted. Go to Kahn's Item => Equip => Use Acc command to cancel his invulnerability.
NOTE: Destroy barrels to allow access to treasure room after the battle. Search steam
appartus to get Ratchet to join later.
*Noon the Wizard joins (if Kyon-Shi were not harmed in Battle #11)
Battle #13: Destonian General Franz
NOTE: Purchase Large Egg from old woman, then use it on chicken in Headquaters to hatch Penn.
NOTE: Speak with Ratchet if you want him to join in Chapter 4.
*Justin the Bow Knight joins (if spoken to in tent)
Battle #14: Spiriel and the Statue *Chapter 3 Ruins: Middle State
Battle #15: Destonian General Garzel
-Chapter 4-
*Horst the Gladiator joins (if spoken to in barracks)
Battle #16: To Storich
*Penn the Penguin joins (if hatched in Vagabond in Chapter 3 and spoken to in Storich)
Battle #17: To Volcano *Chapter 4 Ruins: Desert Ruins
*Ratchet the Steam Knight joins (if spoken to in Quonus and Vagabond)
Battle #18: Dragon Volcano
NOTE: Do not kill Baby Dragon to avoid fighting Mother Dragon in disc 2. If Baby Dragon is
killed, then a passage containing the Dragon Rod will be sealed off in disc 2.
Battle #19: Aspinian General Fafhard
*Frank the Werewolf joins (if pushed into headquarters of Flagard)
Battle #20: Fall of Lord Conrad
NOTE: Attack Fiale near the start of the combat to retreive the Ship Key if you want to
have Rogan accompany you in disc 2.
-Chapter 5-
NOTE: Summoner item "Phoenix Sword" can be found in Flagard castle.
Battle #21: To Lookover
Battle #22: Lookover Tower *Chapter 5 Ruins: Lookover Ruins
HELP: Handing the complex ruins while fighting the monsters can be a handful. Send six swift
soldiers to handle the ruins while the other six fight their way along the low path.
When the ruins soldiers complete their raid, have them move up the stairs directly
across from the ruins to meet up with the other team. When facing Fiale, do not let
any soldier become isolated or they will be quickly dispatched with his summoning magic.
Fiale's magic resistance is extremely high until Kahn uses the Elbesem Orb on him.
NOTE: Summoner item "Wendigo Wand" can be found in locked chest of Lookover Ruins.
NOTE: Search rear right pillar inside ruins to discover Hagane during or after battle.
*Hagane the Ninja joins (if discovered inside ruins)
Battle #23: The Great Wall
HELP: The Golem's attack pattern involves a relatively weak Tremor attack around him on every
first and second turn, and a more serious Rock Fall attack on every third turn. The Rock
Fall attack will harm all combatants within its line of effect. If the rock travels
along the right, then the two rows on the left will be safe. If the rock travels along
the left, then the two rows on the right will be safe. If the rock travels along the
center, then one row on each side will be safe. Keep your soldiers equally divided along
the two side edges to ensure that not all of your soldiers will be crushed at once.
NOTE: Summoner item "Volcano Wand" can be found in barrel in Vagabond.
Battle #24: Queen Poison Worm
-Chapter 6-
*Murasame the Ninja joins
Battle #25: Malorie Courtyard
NOTE: Destroy the barrels surrounding the corner door to have access to treasure afterwards.
Battle #26: Braff
Battle #27: Catacombs of Aspia *Chapter 6 Ruins: Aspia Catacombs
NOTE: Do not attack Spiriel to get her to join in disc 3.
NOTE: Summoner item "Mitra Ankh" can be found in Aspia Catacomb Ruins.
HELP: It can be difficult to get past Spiriel to defeat Basanda without defeating Spiriel
herself. "Sleep" magic can be effective against Spiriel.
*Fynnding the Birdknight joins
Battle #28: Ancient Dungeon (Optional)
HELP: The Skull Mage at the fourth level of the Ancient Dungeon can be difficult. The best
defense against his Summon Tiamat magic is to stick together to distribute the damage,
as well as any equipment that raises Shadow defense. Resist magic and Slow magic will
be the most effective in securing victory.
NOTE: Summoner item "Tiamat Rod" can be found in Ancient Dungeon.
Battle #29: Colossus of Aspia
HELP: The goal of this battle is for Fynnding's party to defeat the Giga Breaker guarding the
dam valve as quickly as possible so that the primary team can sustain as few casualties
as possible. Before defeating the Giga Breaker, make sure that all the members of the
first team are within one turn of reaching the 3x4 area near the castle door behind the
stone bank. Do not bother fighting the Colossus directly. To lessen the effects of its
attacks, do not keep too many soldiers on one horizontal line along the bridge, do not
let soldiers linger directly in front of him, and do not let soldiers become too
isolated, since the X-Spark attack distributes damage like a Summon spell.
Battle #30: Imperial Prince Arrawnt
HELP: Prince Arrawnt gets two actions per round. Use Spark Lv.3, flying troops, and archers
to eliminate the High Wizards as quickly as possible. Use Resist Lv.2 and Attack magic
to support the attackers against Arrawnt, and engage him with a powerful lancer if
possible. Keep Grace far enough away so she can use Aura Lv.2 without being harmed.

*Julian the Soldier joins
*Donhort the Cavalier joins
Battle #14: To Sand Bridge *Chapter 3 Ruins: Barrand Ruins
Battle #15: Kraken
HELP: When the Kraken Legs and Kraken Arms appear, bear in mind that they can move across
both water and sand, and the Kraken Arms have an attack range of 2. Have Zero use the
Elbesem Orb on the Kraken Head to cancel its invincibility.
-Chapter 4-
Battle #16: Civilian Rescue
NOTE: Rescue the refugees if you want experience points and Robot AI, and eventually Robie.
HELP: This battle can go very badly if not managed well. At the start of the battle, Donhort
will ask Medion which road he should take. Say "NO" then "YES". He will move along the
east road and eventually block a Bulzome Knight by the southeast pond. Move the
civilians south into the thick woods as quickly as possible. Have Hera stay a few
steps behind so she will attract the Knights' attacks, and have her continually heal
herself. Move your soldiers, particularly Hazuki and Campbell, to intercept the
Bulzome Knights and protect Hera and the civilians as quickly as possible. When the
reinforcements appear from Elbesem Temple, destroy the Pegasus Knight immediately.
*Hera the Master Monk joins (if not killed in battle)
NOTE: After Battle #16, return to Elbesem and speak with man in tavern to gain Robot AI if you
rescued the civilian carrying the Robot AI. Also be sure to take the Ch.4 Ruins map.
Battle #17: Elbesem Plaza *Chapter 4 Ruins: Temple Ruins
HELP: Before entering this battle, give the Robot AI to Hazuki or Campbell.
Move Hazuki, Campbell, and Zero into the ruins on the right side of the plaza as soon
as possible. Have Zero touch the wall crystal close to the interior of the ruins first,
then fly to touch the other crystal. Have Hazuki and Campbell attack the thieves before
they can escape, then use the Robot AI to revive Robie.
*Robie the Robot joins (if Robot AI is used in Ruins)
Battle #18: Elbesem Temple
HELP: This battle looks intimidating, but understand that the objective is to shuttle your
soldiers down the staircase before Basanda and Dessheren run out of HP and the
Rainbloods come after your soldiers. Using Blizzards from the fountain and Hedoba's
Freeze spell should allow everybody to make it to the lower level.
NOTE: Summoner item "Earth Rod" can be found in chest near fountain.
Battle #19: The Seagate and the Executer
HELP: Use the Seagate's cannons to destroy the Executer's cannons in order from 1 to 4.
Rotate the cannon operators occasionally or heal them with Heal Lv.2 so the healer
is not caught in the blast if the cannon is hit. It is possible to hasten your victory
by using Zero to attack the soldiers operating the Executer's cannons. Be extremely
cautious when moving Zero and never move him into the attack range of the Wing Knights.

-Chapter 5-
*Arthur the Cavalier joins (if spoken to on white house)
NOTE: Summoner item "Volcano Wand" can be found in tunnels beneath Garvin's mansion
Battle #21: Saraband Dungeon
HELP: Be extremely careful to not let Syntesis or Arthur get defeated early on by the
guards. Use Arthur to defeat the guard carrying the Jailor's Key so he can quickly
unlock the doors and allow the others to escape. The jailed soldiers will need to
search the central table to retrieve their weapons and items. Keep in mind that
Hedoba can attack enemy troops with her magic as they pass her cell.
NOTE: Destroy barrels near door to open hall to treasure and alternate route to next battle.
Battle #22: Governor Garvin's Mansion
HELP: Be sure to destroy all the soldiers in the garden before entering the mansion, or else
they will follow you inside and attack from behind.

OR

Battle #23: To Headland
HELP: In the next four battles, make sure that Domaric is not defeated. Keep a healer
near him in case his bodyguards do not protect him intelligently. If you acquired the
Ship Key in disc 1, then Zero will have rescued Rogan from the Seagate's cargo
hold and he will appear for the next four battles to help protect Domaric.
NOTE: Talk to pigs and search tree to discover Large Egg. Use on chicken in HQ to get Penko.

Chapter 5 Ruins Map.
Battle #24: Saios and Dacka *Chapter 5 Ruins: Dark Cavern Ruins
HELP: In order to retrieve the items from the ruins, have a soldier stand on the switch near
the ruins entrance to lower the barriers while Arthur chases the thief, then move off
the switch once the thief acquires the God Rapier. Arthur can cast Blaze magic to attack
the thief through the wall and receive the treasures.

Battle #28: Ancient Dungeon (Optional)
HELP: To help defeat the Necromancer at the bottom of the Ancient Dungeon, first
have four soldiers stand on the monster generators. Have your other eight soldiers
each stand in pairs on each of the four sides of the magician, with the rear member of
each pair having either a range attack or healing magic. Have Hera rotate Resist magic
on the attackers.
NOTE: Summoner item "Arc Wand" can be found in Ancient Dungeon.
Battle #29: Mighty Tank
HELP: The objective of this battle is use David's team to defeat Garvin as quickly as possible
so the primary team does not suffer casualties. Even so, take this battle slowly and
carefully because of the small team size. Before entering this battle, have Pappett
capture strong monsters from the Ancient Dungeon, preferably Queen Worm, Griffon,
Minotaur, etc. I would suggest having Hedoba (equipped with Holy Ankh), Zero, Pappett,
and Hazuki accompany David. Do not have Medion's team advance too far ahead, since the
tank treads appear after a few rounds.
Battle #30: Republican General Tybalt
HELP: Be careful when climbing the stairs of the guard tower, and keep in mind that Yasha can
cast Spark Lv.3. Defeat him as quickly as possible, and make sure your front line
is constantly affected by Support and Resist magic.

HELP: Be extremely cautious with your ground team. Keep all members healed, since even a

attacks. Have your second team destroy the cannon soldiers first, then have your ground
team hide behind the side walls before destroying the gate. Defender can be defeated
with the cannons before he can attack your soldiers. However, you'll need to defeat him
manually if you want the Shiva Sword.

-FINAL CHAPTER-
*Unoma the Hermit joins (if spoken to in Julian's headquarters)
NOTE: Summoner item "Murasame" can be found in chest of southwest wing of sanctuary.
Battle #28: Ancient Dungeon (Optional)
HELP: The last level of this dungeon can be challenging. First of all, defeat the Arch Demons
carefully so you don't lose any soldiers, casting Aura Lv.4 if it keeps someone alive.
Do not move too close to the interior of the level or the Colossuses will be able to
cast Inferno. Once the Arch Demons are defeated, move your three highest Fire resist
soldiers into the interior corners of the outer ring to lure the Colossuses into
exhausting their MP. Use healing items to stay alive. Once their MP is exhausted, move
toward the center of the level to defeat them, but stay in the exterior corners of the
inner ring to stay out of Taros's Spark range. Once the Colossuses are defeated, move
one character into range to let Taros exhaust his MP. The ideal candidate for this is
a Priest equipped with an Arc Wand. (Bridget is also excellent since she can syphon
Taros's HP and MP.) Once Taros exhausts his MP, move all soldiers in to attack. Slow
magic, Attack magic, and lancers will be the most effective. Taros will try to attack
your main character, so stay watchful of HP and paralysis.
NOTE: The leader of each Shining Force can receive a special weapon by completing the dungeon.
The Shining Sword, Arc Rapier, and Force Blade can be earned here.
Battle #29: Scaling the Mountain
