I will firstly explain the meaning of the Organize phrase. During this period, you can move your knights to another castle [provided that you have a route] or wait and defend the original castle, sent your knights for quests, summoning monsters, place your troops in order or viewing the stats of your knights and monsters. Stats: This option allows you to view the stats of your leaders or monsters based on the amount of HP, MP and their strength, intelligience, agility and their movement range. Note that you can also view the stats of your opponents too. Organize: Allows you to switch places of your monsters and moving monsters from your stocks. Take note of the amount of Rune Power the knight has or you will be able to exit this screen if it is exceeded. Pressing Circle will view the status of your knights or opponent. You can equipped weapons [Rune Knights only] or use items. You can named your monsters or delete your monsters. Move: Allows you to move leaders along with the monsters within their Rune Power from a castle to another castle [same coloured flag, and must provide a route]. Note that you can not move monsters that found in the stocks to another castle. Wait: This cancels the "MOVE" command. Note that you can have as many Rune Knights stationed in the same particular castle. By the way the calender is measured by month, so take note of it. Quest: Knights that went for quests do not return for while and takes about 3 months most. You will be unable to assign them to battles and attack enemies' castles. They are temporarily out of duty and will only return back to the castle where your ruler is. Sometimes, your knight may wounded during the process of the questing and may have attributes gained or new weapons. [More details on the Quests and Items sections.] As you are done with organizing your country, press the SELECT button and choose "EXCUTE" option and you see the "ATTACK" phrase. You can only attack adjacent castles only and take note of the following: 1. Once you have won the battle and all victorous knights will be occupying the castle. The wounded ones are sent back to main captial of your country, for example in the case of Norgard, Flogeru. They will be able to battle again after a month. So remember to sent someone to replace them and repulse any enemy's invasions. 2. Get your country in order, move your most powerful Rune Knights along with to-be-trained Knights such as Loufal and Lance to castles located at your bounderies. 3. Note that if you managed to seal of those castles, there is no need for you to defend the castles located behind as the enemies could not reach it. Try and control as many castles as possible as it will be easier for you to launch an attack. Target your attacks on the key castles such as Orkney of the Esgares Empire. 4. Before attacking your enemies, take note of the status of the enemy's troops as it would be better to know your foe well before attacking them. During battles, you can only send out the maximum of three troops of Rune Knights, so make sure that the Knights does not have only one monster in your Rune Area or you better retreat. The battle will only end if you have accquired the following conditions: 1. The enemies has retreated. 2. You have succeeded in defeating them by have them use up all their HP and they will retreat. 3. You have wounded the ruler [they are Vaynard, Lance, Lyoneese, Zemeckis, Cai, Dryst and Bulnoil] and the ENTIRE army will retreat. 4. This applies for defence only. If the enemies to do not attack your party or kill your generals in time. There will be a time limit and they will automatically retreat. This also applies to you too. This happens twice to me, at the battle of Lidney and Dilworth. SPECIAL: If you did not finished defeating all countries within 60 years, the Snake of Chaos will appear and it's game over. B A T T L E T I P S A N D S T R A T E G I E S +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ B A T T L E T I P S --------------------- 1. As you viewed the status of the knights and monsters, you will find coloured orbs [black, white, red, green, white] and these are called elementals and they are important. These will determine the amount of damage done on your opponents. White units such as Gryhons and Unicorns will do a higher damage on black units such as Ghouls and Hellhounds. There are some monsters that does not have an elemental orb, such as Rocs. The number of these elementals are important. For example, a three red unit such as the Salamander will do massive amount of damage on a two blue unit such as Hydras. However, a monster with a mixture of elementals such as Gigas, a red and black elementals will not do much on the same Hydra. 2. Movement range is also important as it determines the amount of time that you required to set up your formation. Flying monsters such as Rocs, Wyverns and White Dragons has a longer movement range compared to heavy type monsters such as Hydras and Dragons. Move the heavy units first then the light ones [example: Unicorn] and finally, the flying monsters. Don't overlook terrains on the battlefield, this will sometimes affect the movement range. Unicorns will move slowly on mountains or forests [green patches]. Hydras on the other hand can not walk on mountains but moves faster on water. 3. There are several monsters, that have long-range attacks such as Centaurs. This can done in further distance up to the maximum of 5 hexes. This attacks can NOT be counterattacked even the unit is normally able to do so. Examples are Hunter shot and Killer Shot. 4. At higher difficulty levels especially Normal and Hard, the enemies will remain in place and wait for you to approach them. There is a case that the computer trying to escape from battle which leads to time over, so it is advisble to have flying monsters such as Rocs. 5. At water-based battlefields, it's advisble that you have water- based units such as Hydras and Mermans as they could regenerate their HP due to their Aqua Recovery. 6. Do not overlook castles that have water surrounding them as they will allows you to summon marine forces such as Hydras and Mermans. Examples are Humber of Norgard and Lidney of Esgares. 7. When surrounded by enemies, use area-based attacks such as Holy Word, Geno-Flame, Geno-Frost to wipe them out. This will greatly weaken most of them within a turn. 8. Target your main attacks on Rune Knights as these will help you to conserve as many HP as possible. If the ruler of the country is there, concentrate on attacking him / her and this will force the ENTIRE army to retreat. 9. Kill off healing parties such as Unicorns or Angels as they will help to regain lost HP and will create more trouble as you will have start all over again to kill the dying monster or leader. Also, protect your Unicorns from harm as this help to conserve more MP and use it affectively, cast only when the HP is low about 100+ 10. Cast Fog on low agile and red-elemental creatures such as Dragons as this will causes the monster to miss and aid in conserving HP. 11. When you are about to be defeated, try this method. Keep your monsters within the Rune Area of Rune Knight. Have them do the attacking first and then select the knight last and choose "RETREAT" 12. Cast Power on the Hydras and don't get shock if they does about 400+ HP damage to a Mage unit. 13. Having a hard time fighting against enemies at HARD difficulty mode ? Here is a trick to lure them. Make use of low levels monsters such as Ghouls to force them to fight and the entire troop will move towards you just like in the EASY MODE. It will be better if the "sacrifice" is a flying-type such as Gryhons. S T R A T E G I E S ------------------- If you have any strategies, feel free to send in yours. I would be very to happy to edit it and listed you in the credits section 1. Straight Line Defence This is apparently is the MOST affective strategy in Brigandine. Place those high-based HP monsters such as Dragons on the frontline knights behind the line. Arrange these monsters in a line and they would be able to aid each other. Have Unicorns as back support for Heal while the rest do the attacking. 2. V-Shaped Defense This is meant for defense purposes. Have your troops consists of Dragons or Hydras, arranging them and form a V-shaped and place Unicorns and Knights in the middle. This will enable to set your enemies' in cross-fires with these creatures' breath weapon such as Acid Breath. This method is more affective if the enemy use to send troops attacking from different directions. 3. Golem Defense Golem may be rather weak due to their crappy hit rate but they are great defenders as they could protect your mages from harm. This strategies works well for those knights with low Rune Power. However, this is rather risky. Golems are great for fighting against Rocs as due to their Golem Attributes. Could easily cured with a heal spell. 4. Rocs and Centaur Defense This strategy is great. Place Rocs in the front row as due to their high HP and their petrifying ability. Place Centaurs behind the Rocs. Have your party consists of a mage, pirest and a scout or archer, place them at the back. Have aleast 2 Unicorns at the back. At the battlefield, concentrate your attacks on the Rune Knights and this should works, but do expect serious injuries. 5. Twin-Genos and a Area-Heal This strategy only works if you have the following: 1. Enchantresses Class 2. Bishop / Cardinal or the Phoneix 3. Mage Class Have high HP units such as Hydras and Dragons in the front row and the Rune Knights behind the line. If you use the Phoenix instead of the Bishop / Cardinal, place them at the back row. As you are surround, rip off your foe with twin-Genos and Heal all injuries will an area-heal. Works well for Leonia. L I S T O F Q U E S T S +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Note: Rulers cannot go on quests. After a Rune Knight has completed his / her quests and will go to castle where the ruler is.

L I S T O F C L A S S E S +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Before I begin this section, I think there are several important things to take note of and here they are: 1. When a character gains a total of 5 stars for that particular class and they reached the EXPERT status, which will result all magic and skills permanently remain in them, no matter what class they have changed to. Even before you have change the class before reaching EXPERT, the stars will remain. 2. Note that you can only choose an one-way path. For example, a Mage can be promoted to a Druid or Sorcerer and you can only choose one of them and can't change back to former class and will not be able to the other class. 3. When you reach higher levels, and the maximum is Level 30 and you can advance to the secondary classes or the final classes, provided that you has attained an EXPERT in the lower classes. 4. Since that you can go up to Level 30, and each star requires a level and so it's rather a waste to remain in that particular class. For example, if you have reached Level 5, so that you can changed to a Cavalier/Berserker or a Sorcerer/Druid. 5. Rulers such as Cai, Vaynard, Zemeckis and Lyoneese cannot changed to any other classes except Prince Lance and Dryst. For the case of Lance, you need to defeat the Esgares Empire and Lance will promote from Prince to King and he will acquire Geno-Flame in addition to his normal attributes. PS: Must accquired Logres. For the case of Dryst, you need to have Dryst reached Level 30 and he will declare himself as Super Tyrant and gain extra spells and boosted abilities.

T H E R U L E R ' S W A L K T H R O U G H ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ These are just the basic guidlines for a ruler. I have also included a list of data about the castles. There is a list of Rune Knights and the Rune Knights breakdown. Vaynard: Norgard's Walkthrough ======================================================================= This Kingdom is situated in the north continent. The ruler, Vaynard begins with several good generals such as Guinglain, Yvain, Palomides and Brangien. This country has a powerful troop of dragons, therefore it is not a good one to mess with. The only problem with this country is that you may have trouble in defend your domain as there are a total of four castles to defend. Okay, here is the character's list in their respective castles at the beginning: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Name of Castle Name of Leader Occupation ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Flogeru Vaynard Lord Brangien Archer Senadon -- -- Kardiff -- -- Humber Noie Cleric Kirkmond Sorcerer Dillard Grappler Jukes Guinglain Cavalier Yvain Cavalier Palomides Berserker Listinoise Roadbull Bishop Elaine Enchantress Alliryme Zerafin Mage Faticia Lancer Ector Fighter ----------------------------------------------------------------------- C A S T L E S O F N O R G A R D ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Name of Castle: Alliryme Income: 225 Summon List: Jinn, Unicorn, Clay Golem, Dragon Status: Prevent New Almekia's invasions from Gorule. Name of Castle: Kardiff Income: 196 Summon List: Ghoul, Giant, Wyvern. Status: An important castle. In hot soup, if this castle is occupied by an enemy. 5-castle path.

Status: This castle prevents invasions from Leonia. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Firstly, move your leaders well so that there are at least 3 Rune Knights guard a castle that are located at the borders. Defend your borders well and attack them slowly, about one at the time. At 215, 3rd month, Vaynard will head to Leonia and engage war with Leonia. After your first victory, Luintail will join you. Attack New Almekia until you reach Camelford. Morholt will join you at about 4th month of 215, if you are lucky enough, you will get Schutlesis to join your party. Attack Leonia, which is the weakest country in the game, keep on attacking just sending your best knights and you will be able to finish Leonia in a year. Station a decent force at Hadrian. Do some quests and hopefully can get more Rune Knights. Attack Lidney with marine force such as Hydras [Lidney has a high income of 300!] and this will greatly weaken Esgares. Attack Orkney to create more trouble. Now concentrate on finishing New Almekia. Take the castle of Camelford and advance to other cities until you reach BaydonHill. Now with enough manpower, advance on your attacks on Esgares. Hopefully that it is greatly weaken by other countries. Dealt the finishing blow and you be able to finish Esgares in a year of so. Now concentrate on quests, getting ex-Esgares Knights to your terrain. Soleil will join you if Schutlesis is on your side. Now advance your attacks on Iscalio and move with same party that have defeat Leonia, if not consider send in more reinforcements and finished off Iscalio. At last, down to the last country, Caerleon. Advance your attacks on Squests with marine force and from Asten, advance towards Hervey and capture Linnuis and Baynock. Caerleon will be greatly weaken as Kail is the lowest income castle in their country. Now dealt the finishing blow and you have succeeded in unify the entire continent.

Lance: New Almekia Walkthrough ======================================================================= This is probably the best country to start with and you will be going to have an easy time. Lance maybe just a Level 1 Prince, but he reach support from several powerful knights such as Gereint, Coel, Meleagant and Halley. Lance may be weak, but in no time, you should be able to see the real power of Lance. He will become King with the addition of his original magic spells plus the Geno-Flame. Well let's proceed to the list of Rune Knights and the castles they are originally at. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Name of Castle Name of Leader Occupation ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Calamry Lance Prince Gereint Samurai Coel Bishop Meleagant Avenger Carlota Enchantress Phazard Loufal Fighter Camelford Adilicia Lancer Batercus Grappler Brusom Samurai Gorule Gilsus Sorcerer Aphelia Cleric Liguel Scout BaydonHill -- -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- C A S T L E S O F N E W A L M E K I A ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Name of Castle: Gorule Income: 209 Summon List: Pixie, Merman, Clay Golem, Wyvern Status: Prevent Norgard invasions through castle Alliyrme Name of Castles: Camelford Income: 289 Summon List: Jinn, Mandrake, Gryhon, Angel Status: A key castle, defend it well as it prevents attacks from the Esgares Empire through castles Eorsia and Orkney.

Set a decent troop at Camelford so that you can prevent any enemy invasion through Orkney or Eorsia. Start out by attacking Alliyrme and Kardiff. After the first month, Cai on the behalf of Caerleon will form an alliance. Now with sufficient support, launch repeat attacks on Esgares. Intial assaults on Cador may be tough but do give up. As Coel says that whether he is should pay a visit to Officer Glauze, sent him for quest and this will recruit Glauze to your side. On the 9th month of 215, the lady whom has saved both Lance and Gereint will come and meet Prince Lance. She is searching for Bulnoil, the magician whom is responsible for all the chaos caused on the continent. During the first month of 216, Alsace will join Lance. Now start to attack Norgard, take Flogeru, an ideal castle for ruling the north continent. Then about somewhere around this year, Halley will join you. Now dealt the finishing blow on Norgard and this should be no problem. With Halley in your party, attack on Esgares [which is should be greatly weaken by Iscalio, Caerleon and Norgard]. This may take up to the maximum of 3 years. Now you will held the coronation at Logres and Prince Lance will be promoted to King and gain Geno-Flame. Now attack on Leonia, just send Meleagant, Gereint and a Mage will do the trick. Attack and dealt the finishing blow. Caerleon should be intensively with war against Iscalio and should be able to finish Iscalio in a year or so. At last, victory is yours. Note: You may need to occupied Logres. NOTE TO THOSE USING NEW ALMEKIA ------------------------------- Under ANY circumstances, do NOT attack CAERLEON. If you did so, you will introduce a strong foe, Cai and ths Knight Master, Dinadan. This will make life tough as you have to guard more castles and so don't ever try to fight Caerleon! R U N E K N I G H T S O F N E W A L M E K I A ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Lance: Level 1 Prince. Rune Power: 220. This guy may have low levels, but can gain more levels and accquire Geno-Flame when you defeat Esgares. Gereint: Level 19 Samurai. Rune Power: 284. EXPERT! in Samurai.

Glauze: Level 15 Cavalier. Rune Power: 222. An acceptable fighter. 5 more levels from the Paladin status. Alsace: Level 1 Fighter. Rune Power: 150 . This guy is better off by sending him for quests. Halley: Level 21 Valkyrie, Rune Power: 294. High Rune Power and has accquired Holy Word, leaves after serving a year. Cai: Caerleon Walkthrough ======================================================================= This country is probably the second best as Cai is very powerful magician whom has accquired all Genos. Under him, includes the cheerful Merriot, Bishop BeauArte and Knight Master Dinadan. This country is the easiest to defend as you can just seal off the entrance with one castle. Now onto the list of Rune Knights and castles in Caerleon. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Name of Castle Name of Leader Occupation ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Linnuis Cai Warlock Merriot Scout Dinadan Paladin BeauArte Bishop Kail Janfadar Druid Baynock Cierra Sorceress Hervey Shast Grappler Bilcock Priest Squest -- -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ C A S T L E S O F C A E R L E O N +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Name of Castle: Squest Income: 211 Summon List: Merman, Lizard Man, Roc, Hydra Status: One of the castles in the four castles path.

Sent some of Rune Knights for quests and stabilize your defense at Hervery. At 215, 3rd Month, Cai and Merriot will head for New Almekia and confirmed the alliance. Millia will joins your soon after. As Millia says that she is going to visit an old friend call Eloute, sent her for quest and you will get Eloute to join you. With sufficient manpower, attack Salisbury and Xanas. As Eloute mentions to Millia about a guy named Gush, be sure to sent both of them for a quest, provide you have enough manpower. With Gush on your side, launch attack on Iscalio with Dinadan, BeauArte and Jandafar. From Xanas, keep on attacking down the row. After a year of so, Millia will talk to both Gush and Eloute about visit a friend which will recruit Lecarra by sending all 3 at time. Make sure you have enough manpower to cover all the castles at your border for the time being. You will be able to finish Iscalio and keep on attacking on Leonia and defeat this weak country and take Humber of Norgard. Hopefully that Esgares is great weaken by New Almekia and Norgard and give some aid to New Almekia. Capture key castles such as Kardiff and Senadon which will greatly weaken Norgard. New Almekia should have done a massive amount of damage on Norgard and Esgares. Finished off Vaynard with your troop and allowing New Almekia to defeat Esgares. If there is a need remember to aid New Almekia and you will beat the game. R U N E K N I G H T S O F C A E R L E O N ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Cai: Level 22 Warlock, Rune Power: 319. The guy with the all-Genos. Very destructive.

Dryst: Iscalio Walkthrough ======================================================================= So you have decided to play the Man in Fancy Hat, Dryst. He is a Tryant and is tough cookie along with good warriors such as Iria, Ulster and Camden. This country is easy to defend [can seal off with only two castles], but still very difficult to attack. There is another problem, he loves gambling and he is rather stuborn in nature. Let's proceed to the list of castles and Rune Knights. ======================================================================== Name of Castle Name of Leader Occupation ======================================================================== Caelsent Dryst Tryant Iria Valkyrie Camden Druid Ulster Bishop Hula Cleric Lothian -- -- Bronceliande -- -- Letishnote Daffy Samurai Xanas Bagdemagus Berserker Gallo Rnager Victoria Sorceress Asten Miguel Cavalier Lucia Scout Teath Fighter ------------------------------------------------------------------------ C A S T L E S O F I S C A L I O ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Name of Castle: Xanas Income: 236 Summon List: Pixie, Mandrake, Clay Golem, Dragon Status: Three castle path. This castle is the choke point for Iscalio. Prevent attacks from Esgares and Caerleon. Name of Castle: Asten Income: 203 Summon List: G-Scorpion, Jinn, Centaur, Giant Status: Another three-castle path. This castle is another choke point and prevent attacks from Leonia and Esgares. Name of Castle: Letishnote Income: 208 Summon List: Jinn, Merman, Unicorn, Giant Status: A two-castle path that leads to Xanas and Caelsent. Name of Castle: Bronceliande Income: 253 Summon List: Pixie, Hellhound, Mandrake, Demon Status: A two-castle path, that leads to Asten and Caelsent.

It is the core of Iscalio. Name of Castle: Lothian Income: 202 Summon list: Ghoul, Lizard Man, Hellhound, Hydra. Status: A backyard castle, no importance in geographical position. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Firstly, take a strike at Hadrian at Leonia and attack with 2 parties. Stationed a party for each castle at Xanas and Hadrian. Just send Dryst, Camden and Iria to attack Leonia. Do take the castle of Humber yet as Norgard is huge country, more tougher with Vaynard and Guinglain. There is one bad thing for Iscalio, that is there is no Knight whom is going to join you freely, just like Millia of Caerleon. You can only obtained new Rune Knights through quests. With sufficient manpower, attempt to take Karnabone, Salisbury and Hervery. Have Camden and Ulster to attack Caerleon. Capturing Hervey will greatly decreases the income of Caerleon and attack Linnuis and Squest and you will be able to finish Caerleon. Now advance your attacks on New Almekia until, you have captured Phazard and invade Toria and Oltroute. Invading Toria will causing Esgares to split up and will make Norgard and New Alemkia to invade Esgares. So seize the opportunity and get Aldis on your side. As New Almekia attention is drawn away, attack Calmary and Camelford and this will weaken New Almekia in addition of Norgard's attacks. With Norgard's attention being drawn to Esgares start attack Humber and take the castle of Jukes and Senadon. Dealt the finishing blow on Esgares and you will have no problem in defeating the other two. PS: Take note of the stupid war between Dryst and his partners after they have defeat all countries.

Lyoneese: Leonia Walkthrough ======================================================================= Now I have reached the fifth ruler, Lyoneese. This country is hardiest to use as Queen Lyoneese has only one Level 20 general and that's Paternus. The country may be weak but you can defend it well, but guarding the castles at it's borders [Damas and Hadrian]. There is another point, that is the only one castle that allows you to summon Dragons and that is Glume. [it also applies to Iscalio, which is Xanas] Okay let's proceed to the list and the castles. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Name of Castle Name of Leaders Occupation ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Tallas Lyonesse Queen Kiloph Barbarian Paternus Cardinal Asmit Bishop Damas: Isfas Monk Charlene Lancer Languebrog Cavalier Whislind Filo Cleric Sophia Cleric Kelilauns -- -- Glume -- -- Hadrian Chantail Mage Raizen Monk ---------------------------------------------------------------------- C A S T L E S O F L E O N I A +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Name of Castle: Damas Income: 201 Summon List: G-Scorpion, Jinn, Centaur, Gryhon Status: Prevent Norgard invasions from the north Name of Castle: Whislind Income: 226 Summon List: Unicorn, Clay Golem, Giant, Roc Status: A castle in three-castle path.

At the fourth month, Lyoneese will meet Vaynard and engage enemies with Norgard. At about the next month, Galonwand and Baleen will joins you. This country is rather weak. Get Paternus, Isfas and Sophia or Filo and attack Asten, hopefully is lightly defend. As you have occupied Asten, attack down the row and advance to backyard castle with 2 parties, the other with Kiloph, Charlene and Lyonnese, while the rest at Damas. Has your troops consists of Roc and Centaurs. This may work on Hard and you should be able to defeat Iscalio for the most in five years time. Station a decent force at Xanas and Asten while the rest go for quest and hopefully you can get Rune Knights and Georg whom is an Ex-Leonia Knight. Continue and concentrate on training Lyoneese and get Hydras in your force [that's Lothian] and send them to Damas. With Hydras in your arsenal, you can defeat Humber [hopefully that Norgard is greatly weaken during that five years. Attack and take the castle of Jukes and Senadon and you will create confusions for Norgard and it should be heavily wounded by Esgares and New Alemkia. Seize opportunities and dealt the finishing blow. After Norgard had been defeated, continue attack those castle in the south continent. Take Hervey and do not attack Baynock ! With sufficient manpower, start to attack New Almekia [about 5 years] and advance until you have reach BaydonHill. Now cover as many Esgares castles as possible and you will be to defeat Esgares. Do more quests and get all the Ex-Esgares Knights to your side and you should have no problem in defeating Caerleon.

There is so many and I won't be bother to write them down. They are found at the following address: http://www.cmgsccc.com 10 M I S C E L L A N E O U S +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ These are observed in different difficulty levels. 1. The nations become smarter in their attacks and defense. They will not leave the key castles such as Camelford undefended and will only advance cautinously. 2. During battlefields, the enemies will stay in place and would not rushes forward towards your troops, unless you approach them OR they got attacked. 3. At hard diffculty mode, you will need to fight Bulnoil after defeating all country. He is rather tough as he has one of the most deadly spells plus Cador on his side. So be prepared for a tough fight. Once I have completed Hard mode using New Almekia, but Lance did change to King status and had Caerleon defeated Iscalio and it just ended the game! Well that's maybe that you can't fight Bulnoil ^_^. To fight Bulnoil, it's possible for you to have that Halley's sequence at her boyfriend's grave, which is quite late in game... Have tested it yet. I think you will be able FIGHT Bulnoil, if you defeated Esgares LAST in Hard Mode. 10.1 Bulnoil Information ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ A man of endless desire. He is the person whom has instigate Zemeckis to betray King Henguist, Lance's father. At the battle of Lidney, he has stopped King Doremiditt, Brangien's father. As you defeat Esgares, he will appear and tries to kill the ruler. It seems to me that Cador will leave Zemeckis if Esgares is down to one castle. Bulnoil will fight you in the final battle, along with Cador on his side, so be prepared for a tough fight.... You can only fight Bulnoil while playing as Norgard or Iscalio. 10.2 Cador Information +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ A man whom is already dead and was ressurrected by Bulnoil. Cador's actual name is Leland, Halley's boyfriend. Halley has been searching for Bulnoil whom has killed her boyfriend. Towards the end, Halley will take the sword from Leland's grave and finally fight the last battle. Leland regains consicious and instigate Halley to break the mask ....... 10.3 Special Rune Knights ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Shred: Shred was in jail under the Main Castle until it was overtook, When the empire retook the castle he has no choice but to join the Empires army. Level 20 Champion. Equip: Ogre Knuckle. Rune Power: ???. This information was sent by Frank Mantis. Helrato: Level 20 Avenger, An one-eyed Avenger whom seeks revenge on Layoneil and has a mean sword. Equip: Tyrhung. Rune Power: 190 . Joins another country along with 2 Fenrirs Kazan: Level 15 Ninja. Fellow disciple of Shiraha. Joins another country after Shiraha joins you.
