Brigandine Quests FAQ Version 0.85
(and other little stuff)
Updated: 12/18/98
Collected and written up by Anthony Nguyen, aka Luxion
Brigandine was released in the states in 1998 by Atlus. What other credits do I
need?
This is my first FAQ that I've written up for distribution. I'm collecting
information for a few other games: Front Mission 2 and SD Gundam G Generation.
Hopefully those will be distributed someday, but they are far too imcomplete.
12/18/98: Well, I see that there are more FAQs for Brigandine. Guess I don't
have to work in-depth on a monster stat chart if that's coming along. I guess
I'll stick with quests. Right now, I'm playing as Leonia on Hard difficulty
(more challenge, kinda). I'll continue to keep track of "chats" in battles as
well, for whatever reason :)
12/16/98: Brigandine is a strategic/tactical game. I've ordered the strategy
guide from Prima Publishing (I like to collect guides), but have not yet received
it. From what it sounds, the guide is a walkthrough with pointers and a couple
reference. I'll update this FAQ and include what they did not have. Anyways, on
with the show.
Note: I've only played as Iscalio and passed the game on Normal difficulty. Most
of the information written off of memory and collected by keeping one enemy castle
alive, guard the two exits with 3 Knights apiece, then send all other twenty or so
Knights off on quests.

Special Character Quests (possible spoilers):
***************
Rune Knight's Name (Starting affiliation):
Quest description
Lucia (Iscalio):
Quest 1:
She visits an injured boy who cannot walk because he was struck by an arrow.
Quest 2:
She visits the boy again, but this time finds the boy walking (kind of).
She confesses that it was she who had fired that arrow, but the boy knew it
all along and thanks her because if it wasn't for "that incident", the two
would have never been friends.
Most all of Lucia's attributes go up as a result of this. Her profile updates.
Loufal (New Almekia):
When Loufal reaches level 10 and changes to a Calvalier class, on his quest,
he will return to his home and talk to his mother. She will give him his
father's sword, the "Mithril Sword".
(Well, that's the sword she gave me...)
(Also, it might not have to be Calvalier. The story may change to whatever he
changes to. I need confirmation.)
Miguel (Iscalio):
Miguel will return to his home and find a letter addressed to him, left by
his brother Castor. It basically talks about the family situation, and how all
three children are split up, but want to be a family again. No game gains,
just story development.
Georg (none):
Having announced staying sober, he gets lost in a forest and finds a fountain
of liquor. Though tempted, he is able to stay sober. It was a test set up by
his deceased fiance, Rierre. Rierre's ghost and Georg chat. Rierre wants Georg
to move on, so she makes him forget her and gives him, "Rierre's Ring".
***************
Obtaining other Rune Knights (known requirements/notes):
***************
Cortina = Level 1 Enchantress
Cathleen and Klaques (takes 3 months)
Cathleen = Level 10-13 Lector
Klaques = Level 5-6 Priest
Hyude = low level Ranger
Layoneil = Level ? Samurai
Dogal = Level 4-5 Berserker
* Because he is so good with beasts, he starts with extremely high Rune Power
Limlight (send Hyude on a quest = 2 months)
Limlight = Level 5-6 Mage
*extra note/question: Does it have to be Hyude? Can it be any other male that
the female elf falls in love with? Someone please answer with an example
such as personal gaming experience.
Georg = Level 8 Priest (Must be playing Leonia?)
***************
Battlefield Talk
***************
***Note: I've encountered a lot more "chatting" between characters, but the
following are from memory.
***NSA = No Starting Affiliation
Esclados (Esgares) taunts Iria (Iscalio)
Cador (Esgares) chats with Dryst (Iscalio)...rather entertaining. So typical of
Dryst...
Bagdemagus (Iscalio) and Cai (Caerleon) chat about physical strength versus
intelligence.
? (NSA?-guy with one eye) tells Layoneil (NSA) about their past battle and how he
wants to get revenge for his lost eye.
***Note: I'm sure of these...
Iria (Iscalio) praises Lyonesse's (Leonia) determination.
Isfas (Leonia) criticizes Vaynard's (Norgard) reasons for fighting another war.
Kiloph (Leonia) wants to teach the selfish Camden (Iscalio) a lesson.
***************
Class Level Up
***************
Note: I have not concentrated on this section. I'm hoping the guide by Prima
Publishing will take care of this section. All this is from memory.
