Introduction ***************************************************************************** The Granstream Saga is a fantastic RPG. Not like the other RPG, this RPG is amazing (well, I think Final Fantasy VII and the other RPG are good too). This game has a real battle almost, like Alundra, with a full polygon like Final Fantasy VII, and a lot of amazing animation. The only one is missing I Thougt is the face, if you watch carefully, they all have no faces!!!! This RPG are place at the Granstream World (maybe it is the Earth). You will play as Eon, the youth with a red hair who has the scepter on his arm. In your jurney, you (Eon) will meet Arcia, Korky (the spirit beast), and Laramee to help you for saving all of continent. When Eon was very young, he was founded in front of the church with the Scepter. The elder took Eon to his home, and then Valos come to elder house and pick Eon as his son. Eon's Scepter has a mysterious power to duplicate and restore items. The Scepter is the ancient scepter which is lost a hundred years ago. The Scepter only can work if Eon is in great danger or at the critical situation. ***************************************************************************** 2. Game ***************************************************************************** Before you go to the walkthrough maybe you have to know some of game basic. 2.1 The Buttons D-Pad --> The movement (I think you maybe understand it) X --> Talk (attack if you're in battle) O --> Cancel (block if you're in battle) Square --> Magic Triangle--> Menu R1 --> Rotate to Right (Like SimCity) L1 --> Rotate to Left R2 --> Choose Continent (at Airlim) L2 --> Not used 2.2 The Menu I'll gave the cart abaout the menu. ----------- |Items | Original items like dried herb |Equip | Equip the weapon, armor, and shield |Magic | The magic that you've learn |Status | See your status (you can't see your experience) |Scepter | The items that your scepter have been duplicte |Option | Text speed and reset ----------- 2.3 The Battle The battle is very simple,very easy and very difficult (?). Ok, I said very easy beacuse you've only one to do, Kill The Opponent. Every battle, you've only one opponent (one to one), fair enough huh. Not like the other RPG, that you've sudden attack by the enemy, you'll go into the battle if: 1. You touch the enemy or the enemy touch you 2. You go to their area (sometime you'll fight with the enemy who attack you suddenly if you go to someplace). 3. It's the game story (???) 4. The enemy block your way... 5. It's boss time ^_^! The difficult is... well nothing very difficult I think but nggg, well I think you must find it by yourself then email me if you want to give me a information (you've to find out by yourself, I'm serious if you play the game) Ok, In the battle, you an your enemy have two bars. On the top is your LP and the others are HP. If you lost your HP, your LP will resurrect you... O, I will gave you a tip, block your enemy attack then counterattack that's more effecient than you attack them, but this tip is not work for the several enemy. 2.4 Saving a game Saving a game is the most important in a RPG game, well you can save (also can heal your LP and HP) at the green spot at the dungeon or at the church. ***************************************************************************** 3. Walkthrough ***************************************************************************** Start the game and watch the animation (you can't skip it unless you have a saved game:P). 3.1 Land of Shilf 3.1.1 Valos' House First, take the cup at the chest and use it with the stew. The youth will come and Valos will go to the basement. Follow Valos and warp to the Wise Man Cemetery 3.1.2 Wise Man Cemetery After Valos talk to you, search the broken statue at upper left (If you right your scepter will glow and Valos will talk to you again). Follow Valos and talk to him. If you to save the game, follow Valos (to west) and you'll see a save spot. Go to north hall and check the statue to fight the guardian. Go down to basement, and head to east to take the orb of wind (you'll fight the same type of guardian). After you take the orb of wind, Valos will show up with Roddy (the missing boy) and he will send you and Roddy back to Town of Arona. 3.1.3 Town of Arona Follow Roddy and talk to his father, Douger the pub owner. Get in to the pub and when you get out from the put, get in once again. Go to the church at the top of the town and talk to drunk man (actually he is ill) in your way to the church. Talk to the priest, and search the altar (which the priest get out) when the priest gone. Take the silver comb (Arcia Silver Comb) at the desk and watch the animation. Talk to the priest and go to the pub. Search the chest outside the pub. 3.1.4 Gude Airship Watch the animation (funny, and you'll be at Laramee's Room), and you'll get a company, Korky the spiritual beast (don't call him 'bird') and Laramee the Gude female crew (the only female crew). Go out from Laramee's room, and head to south (you can't go down, Korky will warn you). At the room, search the chest, Korky will show up, and go upstair. Search the chest once more and go back to Laramee's Room 3.1.5 Vangel Airship Travel around and you'll find a chest at the first floor. You can fight two kind of robot at the first bridge, and go to elevator to go to second Bridge (you can't go to third bridge), You'll fight a soldier this time, head east if you want to search the interesting stuff. Go to the first cabin (which is not locked) at the west to get the cell key (you must fight a soldier first). Use the key on cell door and watch the animation. Go to bottom left door and watch the animation once again. Search the broken orb, and go outside (you'll watch the animation again). 3.1.6 Town of Arona At the Airlim go to Town of Arona, and talk to townfolks (and search the barrels for items, to get axe talk to the shop owner at the shop near the pub ). In Elder's house, you can take the ocarina book (by the way you can return it later). Go to the church and talk to the priest. Go the the elder's house and talk to the elder. Go to out side the town, and go to Valos' house. 3.1.7 Valos' House Search the barrels to get one LP. Enter the house and read the note. Talk to Arcia and head to Kiria Shrine. 3.1.8 Kiria Shrine Go to the dungeon, and travel it, (at second level, search the blue like diamond). Back to front of dungeon, and search the pillar. Search the dungeon before you go to basement (you can find one more life vessel which will add 1 LP to you Life Point). At the basement you'll find Starstone and Moonstone. Don't take it but duplicate it (answer no at the first question and answer yes at the second question). Put it both duplicate at the room which has a ladder. Go down, and push the button when the blocks are unite. At the wind room, read the book or if you don't borrow it, just open the window like this OX OO X is close, O is open XX XO or maybe like this XO OO XX XO, if you do it right the wind will blow, and if all the window right on the position, it will blow a song. Go to the teleport spot. 3.1.9 Wise Man Cemetery Search the first floor, before you go to basement (If you touch the chest, you'll fight an enemy, if you win you can take the treasure). Go down for the next dungeon. Fight the guardians, and the sorcerer. Near the end of the dungeon, you'll have to answer this 3 question, answer this like next... First question answer 'Both' (go to right pillar). Take the treasure first and open the pillar one by one to fall and go to the next question (You'll understand what I mean). Second question answer 'Love' (Go to left pillar). Wait for a moment to go to next question. Last question answer 'Health' (Go to left pillar, I don't remember). Wait the boy finish his run.

Is there anyone that can tell me, please email me... The Scepter Force Do you know that there is a system of obtaining items from enemies? Here's how it's work. Whenever you beat a enemy, without him hurting you, you are asked to open a Blue Scepter Force. You can open it or let your scepter remember it. During this time, before you fight another enemy, you must not do the following things: 1.Use items. 2.Use magic. And if you fight another enemy, and you won, without him hurting you, you will be asked to open another coloured Specter Force. You can contiune like this until the last Scepter Force. The Colour Scepter Force System: Blue, Red, Yellow, Green, Purple, Fight three more enemies, Orange, Rainbow, Dark. The harder your enemies are, the better the reward.
