  2.  INTRODUCTION
======================================================================


This game is about war in a world where mythology and technology are 
one. A young man must find his destiny to lead the rebellion against 
the Junaris Kingdom and to save the people of his world from an 
eternity of oppression. He and his friends are unwillingly drawn into a 
holy war being waged by a bloodthirsty general and his army of 
darkness.

This is my first faq. If you have comment, correction, suggestion send 
me e-mail at . I have got all the missions (56 
missions) and all the ATACs (32 ATACs). I have got all the endings : 
good Kingdom ending, Ruin ending, Sadira and Cecilia Empire endings, 
bad Kingdom ending.

You can see this FAQ too at http://www.gameadvice.com or 
http://www.gamesdomain.co.uk but I don't guarantee it's the newer 
version. Check the newer version at GAMEFAQS.


======================================================================
  3.  GENERAL HINT
======================================================================


1.  Try to kill enemies as much as possible. Because you can get EXP
    and MONEY from killing enemies. You will need a lot of money to buy
    weapons, stones, and amulets.

2.  I suggest you increase BAS, POW, and DEX when level up. To get a
    new stronger attack, you must have high BAS, POW, and DEX.

3.  Always attack enemies from behind if you can. Because the attack
    will do more damage, and enemy can not counter, attack, defend your
    attack.

4.  Make your character and your allies attack one enemy at a time. 

5.  Try to make FP enemy reach 100. If this happens, make all your 
    characters attack him because the enemy will be dizzy and can not
    do anything. Your attack will hit with a 100% success rate.
    
6.  Be careful when your FP almost reach 100. Try to run away from
    enemies and don't do anything that will make your FP reach 100.

7.  Always buy weapons first then amulets or stones.

8.  Try to make your friends morale high. If you interview them, you
    can see the morale between you and your friends. The rate of
    morale from the highest to the lowest are red -> pink -> orange ->
    yellow -> green -> light blue -> dark blue. Try to make your
    friends staying alive in battle, because if not the rate of morale
    of your friends that die will be decrease. If before the colour is
    red, it will turn to pink. If before the colour is pink, it will
    turn to orange. And so on.

  4.  WALKTHROUGH
======================================================================

Explanation of "CHOICES TO MAKE" :
   You will have to choose one of the answers. Sometime if you choose
   the first answer, your mission will be different from the mission 
   if you choose the second answer.


----------------------------------------------------------------------
  4.1  CHAPTER 1 : DESTINY'S CHILD
----------------------------------------------------------------------

ENEMIES : 4 Imperial soldiers

MISSION OBJECTIVE : annihilate the enemy

HOW TO WIN THE BATTLE :
   Just fight until they all die.

CHOICES TO MAKE : 
   1.  Who are you ?
   2.  Do you fight for the Empire ?
   No matter what do you choose, the result will be the same. The 
   difference only in what they say.

  4.2  CHAPTER 2 : BANDIT BRIGADE
----------------------------------------------------------------------

ENEMIES : 9 Bandits

MISSION OBJECTIVE : annihilate the enemy

HOW TO WIN THE BATTLE :
   Attack the closest bandits first. Don't worry about the ATACs that
   were surrounded by the bandits. They will not die because they 
   always defend.

  4.3  CHAPTER 3 : TRAGIC FAREWELL
----------------------------------------------------------------------

ENEMIES : 4 Imperials + Faulkner
          4 Bodyguards + Duyere

MISSION OBJECTIVE : annihilate the enemy

HOW TO WIN THE BATTLE :
   Attack the enemy in front of you. Let Kamorge alone attack the enemy
   behind you. I suggest you attack Duyere first because he's very
   strong. If Faulkner runs, he will run too. If you kill him, you will
   get a lot of money. After Duyere killed, kill his bodyguards then
   kill the Imperials.

CHOICES TO MAKE : 
   1.  We must attend to Kamorge! -> Kingdom/Ruin branch
   2.  I shall find that murderer! -> Empire branch
   These choices only showed if Bastion's level 8 or higher. If your
   Bastion's level lower, you automatically get Kingdom/Ruin branch.

          4 Imperials + Zakov

MISSION OBJECTIVE : 1.  Rage around showily
                    2.  Occupy Elebu castle

HOW TO WIN THE BATTLE :
   Attack 2 Imperials in the bridge until they die. Ignore the enemies
   in the center. Let the others attack them. After a while, Zakov
   come. After you killed 2 Imperials in the bridge, attack Zakov and
   4 Imperials. If you can, try to kill Faulkner and Duyere, you will
   get a lot of EXP and MONEY. If you want a quick win, just get
   someone in the front gate of the castle.

CHOICES TO MAKE : 
   1.  I understand
   2.  I don't care
   No matter what do you choose, the result will be the same. The 
   difference only in what they say.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

ENEMIES : Zakov + 6 Imperials
          4 Imperials

MISSION OBJECTIVE : annihilate the enemy

HOW TO WIN THE BATTLE :
   I think this is the toughest battle. They are all using Sharking
   ATAC. Take one enemy at a time. Attack him in 4 directions. Try to
   make FP enemy reach 100. And attack him until he dies. I suggest you
   kill all the Imperials first and save Zakov for last.

CHOICES TO MAKE : 

   First Answer :
      1.  Of course, Sadira.
      2.  I'm sorry, Sadira.

   No matter do you choose, after that you will get second answer :
      1.  Let's bring peace to the continent!
      2.  Let's bring an end to Faulkner's life!

   No matter what do you choose, the result will be the same. The
   difference only in what they say. But I suggest you choose the first
   answer -> 1 and the second answer -> 1.
