Each puzzle room in this section lowers one of the two barriers. Start the second half by taking the left path two screens. When you return, you can choose to skip the first half. You can use an Emergency Exit now to warp back to the starting area to replenish your mana and, more importantly, buy upgraded weapons since you should now have the OZ to afford them. Past the puzzle room, follow the path to the mid-area boss. The upper one leads to a side area while the lower one leads to the second puzzle room. After the puzzle room, follow the path until you get to two warp crystals. To the left is a small dead end, which often contains a chest. Having magical attacks is also good – especially for enemies resistant to physical attacks.

Having healing is absolutely essential for the boss battles. If you need a solution to a puzzle, you can find them in the next section.Īs you acquire genes, be sure to equip them – you can equip up to three genes on each character. Completing the puzzles is required (either because it blocks the path or has a required item) and most are not difficult.

Each area is divided into two halves with a boss monster “guarding” the end of the half. The in-game map is adequate for navigating around between the sections. The treasure chests also reset every time you leave and re-enter an area.

Treasure chests are more or less randomly placed in the maps, as is their content, so I will not be mentioning their locations. Note that boss monster levels are separate – they are a fixed level, or the same level as your characters (whichever is lower).įor this first playthrough, the goal is to go slowly, learn the mechanics of the game, and most importantly, acquire all of the gene skills. You start at level 1 and as you have no money or genes, you will want to choose 1-10. At first, only 1-10 and 11-20 are available. Once you are done talking to people and have seen all of the introductory scenes, go into the main door and choose the first area: The Clashing Grounds.Įvery time you enter an area, you can select the levels of the monsters, in ranges of 10 levels.
