JOBS ------------------------------------ The job system of Estpolis gaiden is a lot like the job system in Enix's Dragon Quest. In this game, the character alone does not learn any skills for leveling. Instead, the only way to learn new and efficient battling skills/magic is from changing to different jobs and learning the skill/magic of the jobs. Different jobs will change parameters of the character a little bit depending on their job. E.g. By changing into fighter or martial artist, you get better strength, hp, defense than when you're a mage, where your intelligence, sp will be greater. Different classes have different strengths and weaknesses, which can come in handy when dealing with different situations. Each jobs has 6 different ranks - apprentice, lower class, middle class, high class, teacher class and master class. Each rank will give you 1 skill. The more battles you do, the faster your rank will raise, also, the amount of battles to reach to a higher rank differs from job to job. There are 11 different jobs, where 3 of them are upper class jobs that requires u to master in their respective lower class before you can change to them. These higher classes gives better skills/magic than any other classes and takes a while to increase in ranks. Most of the lower class jobs can be found at the hunter guild, while all the higher class will be located somewhere else in the world. Also, other than having to master the skill before you can change to high-class jobs, you MUST be in the lower class of the respective high-class job for you to change. You can see the list of jobs at the character's statistics screen by pressing 'A'. ***NOTE*** Only The main character(Iju as default name), Torma, and Ramy can change class. Bau(the fox-like guy) does not have the ability to change classes) The jobs follows the order of the list from the game: PRIEST Skill learn: UNDER CONSTRUCTION!!!!

SKILLS ------------------------------------ UNDER CONSTRUCTION!!!! ------------------------------------ 5. WALKTHRU ------------------------------------ BEGINNING - PARSELIGHT U will begin in Parselight, the town where Maxim and Selena got married. Go to the castle of Parselight, u will be able to choose u clothes color. After that, u will get the collection books. When u regain control, go to the cave south-west inside the castle, head all the way to the end and u will fight a goblin. Beat him and Torma (that yellow hair guy) will read the coffin, which will give u clues to how to answer the king afterward. Head back out of the cave. In the entrance, u will meet a soldier, talk to him and he will take u to the king. When u get to the king, he will ask u a few questions (the answers to the questions are 2, 2, 1). After u got the answers correctly, u will be qualified of being a hunter. Now u should head to Gruberick, where the hunter guild is located VALLEY PATH TO THE KINGDOM Get out of Parselight and u should get here, continue onto the path, taking items and treasures and stuffs. U will reach a house. U can go in and grab a treasure and talk to the 2 people here, or u can just ignore it and continue. Continue onto the path, u will have 2 places to go here, one is the path to get to Gruberick, or the path to the spider cave. Since the path to Gruberick is now blocked with cobwebs, u will need to go to the spider cave first. Go there, and fight the spider king. After u beat it, the cobwebs to Gruberick will be gone. Now u should head to Gruberick. GRUBERICK First part of the town is kinda useless, except u will be able to find some treasures and stuffs. I didn't find what the teacher in the school asked u was worth anything (answer is the second choice, or 7 btw). Head to the second part of the town (straight north from the entrance), Torma will leave midway there, but dun worry about him. The second part of the town is the market-place-like part. Go straight north and u should get to a large mansion thingy. This is the hunter guild, u can go in and change class, get jobs to earn money, and buy disks to capture monster or store ur monsters and stuffs. Now head to west of hunter guild, and Torma will come back and rejoin u. Go west and u should come to the old cave, right now the entrance is blocked and u can do nothing here. So go back to the marketplace part of the town and u should see an event where a girl is robbed by a thief. Torma will take the girl to the INN, while u will chase after the thief. After chasing him around for a few times, he will escape to the dock. Follow him, and soon the music will go back to normal and u will lost sight of him. Now talk to the fat bald guy standing around the dock, and he will tell u that the thief is a pirate. U can do nothing now, so go back to the INN. After some talks, u will regain control, and then u should head to the dock to get the things back from the pirate PIRATE SHIP After reaching the dock where the ship is. U should be able to get inside the ship (there's a spot along the dock close to the pirate ship where Torma will ask u if u're ready or not). There's no fight inside this ship, only guards walking around. If the guards see u, u will need to start all over again. Just stay out of the guard's sight and u should be able to get the stair easily. After hearing the pirate talk, follow the path and u should get to a treasure box. Open it, u will get one of the stolen object back and will automatically go back to the INN. BLACK MARKET AUCTION After getting back to the INN, u will find out that the other stolen object is being sold at the black market auction. In order to get in, a passport is needed. Now head to the bar, u will see the dancer dance. After that, talk to the guy with the glasses (he's the only one with face when u talks to him). He will tell u to get a present for the dancer and he will give u the passport. Now go back to Parselight, and talk to the major of the town (the bald guy u first met in the beginning). He will sell u flowers for 50 GOLD. After getting the flower, go back to the guy with the glasses. Talk to him and then go upstairs to give the dancer the flowers. After that, go back downstairs and talk to the guy, he will give u a love letter to give to the dancer. Torma couldn't stand it anymore so he will leave u. Go back upstairs and talk to the dancer. After some chat, u will get the passport from the dancer. Now with the passport, head to the path slight east of the hunter guild, and u should reach Kaneamar Mansion. There, u will see Rubius (the girl who got robbed). She will join u and give u 500 GOLD. Go straight in to the mansion and head downstairs. When u take ur seat, the auction will begin. Bid everytime it asks u to, and u should be able to get the stolen object for 550 GOLD. MELA VOLCANO PATH After getting back the stolen things, Rubius will ask u to help her get to the Tower of Guidance. So off u go. Get through the Mela Volcano and fight the fire bird boss inside. After u get pass there, u will reach the town of Calnack. CALNECK Talk around, do nothing there. Leave, and when u're outside, Rubius will collapse due to the immense heat in the dessert. A girl will come and bring Rubius to her tent. After that, u will go back to Calnack. This time some guy will come and talk and then everybody will leave. Now go straight along to the path till u reach the second part of the town, there, u will fight another goblin, beat it, and hear them talk again. After that, the goblin will die, the girls from the town will be freed and one of ur old friend, Ramy will come out of the hole and joins ur party. Now it's time to head to the Guidance Tower TOWER OF GUIDANCE No boss here, just go all the way to the end where there's four statues and four orbs holder. go to one of the orb holder and go to ur S Item and pick the yellow fragment stone thingy u got from the pirate ship. U will reach a screen where u need to resembles the thingy around. Press start to change the ruin letters to katakanas, and when u see the first few katakanas as SE-I-CHI, then press start to put the fragment thingy on the orb holder. After the event, u will collapse and the girls will go panic. After u regain conscious, u will be in ur home in Parselight. Torma will rejoin ur party. And now u need to take Rubius to her hometown Nazare. Go through the Ruhie Snow Mountain. During ur walk there, Rubius will be taken away by a bird, so u needa go save her before u can continue. Climb up the mountain and defeat the boss (blue bird thingy). Now continue and u will reach Nazare. NAZARE Rubius' hometown. Nothing here, go to the master of the village and talk to him. He will tell u that u Iju will die from the curse he got in the Guidance Tower, but there's a way to stop it. He tells us to go south to find out about the way to cure it. When they're about to leave, some guy runs in and tells the master that Gruberick is under attack. Torma is worried about his family. So we go back to save the town. Only way to reach the town now is to go through underwater from the hobbit town. So off we go to the old Well. OLD WELL Nothing much here, get some treasures (the slim shield and lizard shield are great equipments for ur monster if u have those 2 kinds). Not a difficult dungeon at all, midway u will see a fox-like creature getting attacked, walk up to him and beat the boss, Prison Snake. After that continue on, when u see the guy, he will let u go pass him (if u dun have the fox with u, he wont let u get pass him). After that u will come to Jita village, home of hobbits. JITA HIDEOUT Talk to the elder this, and he will tell u that in order to get to Gruberick, a hobbit is needed to guide the road. Bau (the fox u saved) will come up and suggest himself to go. So he joins u as ur fourth member, and off u go. OLD WELL Get out of the hideout and continue down the well. Bau's hammer ability is needed a lot here, bang those wooden tiles and stuffs apart. Everytime u head to the wrong direction, Bau will notify u, so just turn back and take the other directions, sooner or later u will reach a place where there's no way to go. Check the walls, there's a big crack in one of them that u can bang open with Bau. Continue in and bang on the skeleton inside to open up a place after u climb the latter. Beat the boss and continue forward, voila, u're back at Gruberick. GRUBERICK When u get back out of the old cave part, u will be captured and taken to the prison inside the hunter guild. After a little chat, the guy will free u and tell u to take him back to his hometown, Ordens. He also tells u that there's an escape exit close to the item shop. So after that, talk to people around the place and leave from the escape exit. Bau will tell the group that he's still injured, and will leave (not sure permanently or not, but he looked cute). And now u're off to sending the kid back home to Ordens. GRASS VALLEY PATHWAY This is the path towards Ordens. The easy path is blocked by weird trees, so only way to get pass it is to take the grass path. The exit to the valley is blocked by weird trees, so u cant do anything about it now. Keep on going to places where u go and soon u will meet the boss. Beat it and the weird trees will be gone, now proceed to Ordens. ORDENS After getting to Ordens, Kain (the guy who help u escape), will leave u. Go to the major's house, and u will hear some chat. After that, go out, and go find the old man in the most northern part of the town. After talking to him, go back to the major's house, and go to the left and take the treasures inside the pots. After that, go talk to major, and see the event. After that, exit the town and proceed forward to Dohain Stone Tower. DOHAIN STONE TOWER At first there's no enemies here, just some cat statues. This tower is also pretty straightforward, and the puzzles are easy (just move all of the blocks to the designated area and there you go). Each time u finish one of the puzzle, a different colour of the cat statues will disappear, giving u more places to go. At the end of the tower, u will fight the boss, after that, grab the treasure and then return to Ordens. ORDENS Back in Ordens, go talk to the mayor. After that, she will tell u to go to Daros if we want a ship. So, we head off to Wind Valley. Nothing much here, follow the arrow thingy carefully and u should reach the boss. Kill it and continue and u will reach Daros in no time. DAROS When u walk into Daros, Marin (the dancer in Gruberick) will appear and talk to u a bit. After that, head to the casino. On the second floor, u will meet Hydecka. And Grazze soldiers will come and capture u; Marin will come and rescue all of you. During the talk, we find out that Hydecka is also trying to get a ship, and he tells us that the king in Parselight has one. So off we go. Before we leave town, a kid runs up and calls for help, saying that his dad and other people are trapped in the Nimorna Mine. So before we go to Parselight, we go rescue them. NIMORNA MINE Follow the path, use Torma's rope ability to switch some switch. After getting the first bomb, talk to the guy in the same room and he will leave. Follow him back up and he will blow up some rocks so u can now go and rescue some more people. After u rescue them all, leave and talk to the kid. After thanking u, now head off to Parselight to get ship! PARSELIGHT Two words here: NO SHIP GRUBERICK Go to the dock, the pirate will tell u that there's no fuel to run the ship. From the people in the town, we find out that the fuel is in Nimorna Mine. So, take a walk back there. NIMORNA MINE Talk to the father of the kid. He will join u. Go all the way back to the place where u fight the boss. There's a room near there that was blocked by some wood before. The father will help u destroy them, go and get the fuel. Head back to Gruberick. GRUBERICK Talk to pirate, get on ship. Off u go. FOREST MOUNTAIN U will leave ur ship here. Walk through the forest and beat the boss midway through. There's a place with a big stone face near the end of the place, dun worry about it now, u will come need to come back later. So leave the place and u will find urself at Nalbik NALBIK Go to the house in the most northern part of the village. Go in and go down the stair to meet Iju's father. After the talk, u will find out some things about the Eristor and the royal rings. Now, head back to the forest mountain. FOREST MOUNTAIN ----> PART 2 This time go to the stone face, it's west of the exit if u haven't been there before. Go to the face, and Ramy(the girl who joined u in Calnack) will ask u if u wanna wait till dark. Say yes(option 1), and u should be able to proceed further inside. Light up all the stone torch thingy with Ramy's fire ability and go to the altar behind the water fall. U should see a treasure box(there wont be one if u haven't lit up all 4 torches), grab it and leave. There's a boss toward the last stone torch, he's not really hard, beat it and proceed. Next stop: Grazze Kingdom. BOARDER FOREST Go to the map and u should be able to select a place in the far east of the map. Go there and u will be at a dock. Get out of there and go into the forest. Proceed on and u should see the ghost. Follow the ghost until u go to a place where it repeats. Now go back and take the other path. U should come to a place where it's covered in yellow gas. Talk to the man there and then leave that place and go back to the dock. Go to the house in the dock and check the closet for the HOLY WATER. Now go back to the forest, talk to the man, and then proceed on. At the end, u will see the ghost disappearing in front of the grave. Walk up and use the HOLY WATER in front of the middle grave, the ghost will come out and the boss battle will start. Beat it and u can now go thru the forest by going to the place where it repeats. When u get to the last part of the forest, the soldiers will stop u from proceeding beyond the boarder. Walk west of the castle and u should be able to go thru a translucent forest path. After that, u will be able to get out of the forest and come to Gondar town. GONDAR Dead town, everyone in the town are ghost. Weapon shop has GOOD weapons. Be sure to grab it if u have money, u wont have a chance to come back later when u finish this quest. Proceed to the right-hand side of the path and enter ur next area. ALTAR OF DEAD(?Forgot the name...something like that) When u get to the graveyard, jump down, and proceed onward. U needa light the torches for the first two times, after that u will see a whole bunch of candles lighted, and a few without light. Just ignore those all, u dun need to spend time on them, they're completely useless. Use Bau's hammer to knock the wall open when u entered a room with a few unlighted candles and a crack on the wall. Many doors in the upcoming area will be locked, and u cant do anything about them yet without the keys. So just go to places where u can go. First room should be the middle one upstairs, enter, hear the girl talk, and then leave. There will be many diaries lying around the mansion, but they are useless if u dun understand Japanese, so might as well ignore them if u dun. New rooms will be available after entering the middle one. U should be able to find keys around, just go to the locked doors and try around(the name of the key matches the door name, so just check and see if u want, or just guess). In the room with the mirrors, after u beat the skeleton enemy, u can walk into the glass to proceed on. At the end of the last room, u should be able to find a pendant. Take it to the room with the girl ghost, use the pendant on her bed. She will come out, and fight u. Beat it, and the mansion collapses. After escaping, u can proceed on. U can fight a boss that were guarding the borderline if u want(I am not sure if it's required or not, I ran into them before I went anywhere else) After that proceed along the forest path and voila, u've finally made it to Grazze! GRAZZE Again, beat those soldiers and commanders as u go in. After the first few, u will come to the town, get dressed up neatly and proceed to Grazze Base. GRAZZE BASE Many paths, but only one is correct, other will lead to dead ends, so dun worry. To get rid of those electric gates, u needa cut down those wires u see around the places, cut down the different colour one and one of the electric gates will disappear. One part u needa look carefully at how the soldier crosses the invisible steps, if u take a wrong step, u gotta walk a long way back and try all over again. After u get thru everything, beat those commander bosses once again and u will see the king. It's quite dead if u ask me. Go up to him(or should I say it), and push his throne, u will fall down to some place, grab the royal ring inside and then leave(by now u should at least have one character learn dungeon exit, it's thief skill, costs 3 AP, or u can use the item if u still have them) ERISTOR When u get out of Grazze Base, screen change to the ship. Use the royal ring here and a new land will pop out from nowhere. This is Eristor, the destroyed village holding the things we wanna know and stuffs . Go around the place and soon u will come to the Eristor Shrine ERISTOR SHRINE Simple easy dungeon. Not many separating paths, easy to play dungeon. If u see a crack, use Bau's hammer to bang it open(I guess by now u already know that). Continue on, get the key and unlock the door. And soon u will reach the Time Hole(Present) TIME HOLE PRESENT U cant get out anymore. Walk to the middle of the swirl and get suck in and eaten by some living thing(?) INSIDE A BIG LIVING THING(true, this IS the name) Not much, use mainly Iju's sword ability to hit those wiggly things and Torma's rope to swing around, and u should reach the boss. There's some more new advanced type of core in this place, if ur speed is good enough, remember to kill some so u can boost ur level. After that part where the room turns around and stuffs, u will see a place with tons of eggs, that's the room where the boss is, remember to recover to full first. The boss is capable to kill u all at the same time, it's poison attack hits all 4 of ur members and will inflict poison on them. Keep healing with 2 members and attack with ur strongest and u should be able to beat him after a tough fight(my guys were at around lv 18-20 at that time, and the boss is able to inflict 30-40 damage to all my characters). After beating it, climb up the thing and u will get to Rangoon town. RANGOON TOWN Rangoon town is actually a town built on top of the big living thing, the Rangoon(u were just inside it a while ago!). After the brief talk at the entrance with the villager, u will be able to get control back. Check the house at the lower-right corner of the town and talk to the guy in the middle standing on the carpet. Talk to him and he will tell u the way get back to Eristor. But he wants u to save his runaway horse who are now surrounded by monsters, blocking them from saving the horses. So, take the stair up to the second floor of the house and head out, and u will see a cave near the door. This is not really a dungeon, it could be 3 minutes short if u dun fight a single battle. Walk in, capture all horses and go back to the house. Talk to the guy again(he's now standing in a different place), and he will open up a latter for u to get out. Climb that thing and get out of town to go back to Eristor! ERISTOR Hmm...WHAT'S UP WITH THIS?!?! U should probably guess what happen from the look of the town. It seems our heroes are back to the past where Eristor haven't been destroyed by the monster yet. There's nothing much around here, talk around and grab every treasure and stuffs u can find and now should head to the Eristor Shrine again. ERISTOR SHRINE(PAST) Same dungeon, but without the depth of the water is lowered. So there's more place u can enter. The treasures u got from the present shrine will be gone, u might as well try to see if the things will get upgraded or not if u dun take it in the present and take it from the past, I was over that part, so I couldn't try it. U should go back to the timehole to go back to present. But before that, there's one place else that will lead u to the boss. U will fight the boss there, and the door behind it will open. Grab the treasure, this is the last seal stone. Take it and u can go to the timehole to go back to present. Note that the crack behind the seal stone can be knock down with Bau's hammer, and u will reach the place where I think is the last boss. U cant do nothing here yet, so dun need to come here yet, but if u want to, u can walk in and take a look. So, enter the timehole to go back to present! TIME HOLE(PRESENT) ~ GRAZZE BASE After u get back to the present, some guy will come and tell u that Gruberick's people are captured by Grazze and taken back to the base. So u gotta go save them. Go to Grazze, and go to the jail room that was useless before. Go to the end and talk to Marin, after that, leave the room. U will hafta fight a guard before u leave the room, and he will drop the cell key, but picked it up and ran for his life. So chase all the way after him to the room where u fall while walking in the invisible path near the king's throne. U will see the guard running away. Go to where he is and fight the guard standing next to the bed, beat it and take his key. (Should fight the rest too, coz each of these guards are 24000 EXP, and they're easy as cake). After that, take the key, go back to the cell, and unlock doors to get treasure, and get 100 GOLD from Kanaemar. And when u open Marin's cell, watch the small event, and Hydecka will leave(not sure if he will come back or not, possibly not, if u ask me, I never see him as a main character, since he doesn't have any abilities). Now exit the room and u will warp back to Parselight. Now, leave the town and move to Calnack. CALNECK The face of Calneck has changed from the dessert place to raining season. Nothing much here except for the new equipments and u will find out about a new tower appearing close to the Guidance Tower, and it seems like there's some connections between them. So, off u go to check out the Luguwa Sand Tower. LUGUWA SAND TOWER Remember to not go straight into the tower from the middle, or else u will have to track back later to the entrance. There's a bolt shield to the right side of the tower on the outside, it's a good shield, so take it and use it. To the left side there is a door, it's wise to go here first. Get in, walk all the way to those switches to make the sand fall, and then proceed to the new room that appeared after the sand dropped down. Go in front of the torch and take the blue fire. Now do anything u want to go back to the entrance(warp or walk), and proceed in. Mid-way thru u will find silver fire and the white fire, remember to take them both too. Afterwards u should soon reach a spiral tower thingy. Go into the first room and look at the statue. The screen will then go to a different place with another statue. All u do is to follow and go to the statue that the screen showed. After doing this a few times, the statue should lead u to the last room, and when u look at this statue, a new path will appear to the middle of the tower. Go in, and place the 3 fires u got on the 3 platforms with WHITE being on the left, BLUE in the middle, and SILVER on the right. After that, the boss will come out. This boss is pretty annoying, not exactly really strong, but he heals himself all the time. And each heal is 360HP, so u gotta hit hard and fast and hope he attacks instead of healing. He has 1800 HP, beat it and u can now leave the tower and head to the Guidance Tower, which is now once again opened because of the seal from Luguwa sand tower. PREPARATIONS OKAY, before u go into Guidance tower, u should check to see that u've gotten all 4 seal stone(yellow, green, grey, blue), and 4 fragments(also yellow, green, grey, and blue). The yellow, green, and grey stones&fragments shouldn't be hard to get, if u play along taking every chest u get after fighting bosses or towards the end of the dungeons, u should have them all. The tricky part is the blues, the blue stone I've already mentioned above, u get it in the Eristor Shrine(past). But I think I forgot to talk about the blue fragment, which is obtained in the Eristor Shrine(present). IF u really missed it, then u needa go back to Eristor Shrine. BUT not from Eristor, instead, enter from the time hole area, it's much quicker. Proceed on the path to get back to Eristor Shrine. After u get back to the area before u bang the door open to get to time hole, there's a room just right next to the crack. Enter that room. There, u will only see a bunch of lion heads and nothing else. This is the tricky part, behind one of the lion head, it actually LEADS to the next room! So walk into each of the lion head and u will soon get to the second room, do the same for the second and u will come to the boss. If u are coming in now after u finish Luguwa Sand Tower, this should be a piece of cake, if not, the difficulty will be upped a little, but still, the boss dies fast. After beating the boss, head inside the next room and there, u will get the blue fragment. SO, NOW U'RE ALL SET, MOVE TO GUIDANCE TOWER! Same old tower, but first part will be different, the old route u took before is now blocked by a dead soldier, so this time u will need to use Torma's rope ability to proceed. Continue, taking every treasures u see and u should soon get back to the top of the tower. This time, u needa put all four stone and fragment onto the holders. This part is hard to explain...I will try my best to explain Top-Left holder(the grey dragon behind it): USE THE GREY FRAGMENT AND GREY STONE HERE. After u selected these 2 from the SItem screen, press start to change rune letters to katakana. And rotate the fragment until u see the first 3 katakana being : Shi- Ro-Ki, and place it onto the holder. Bottom-Left holder(Yellow dragon): USE THE YELLOW FRAGMENT AND GREEN STONE HERE. This is the same 2 pieces u use the first time. Rotate it until u see the first 3 katakana being: Se-I-Chi, then place it on. Top-Right holder(Green dragon): USE THE GREEN FRAGMENT AND YELLOW STONE HERE. Rotate it until u see the first 4 katakana being: No-Ko-Ri-Shi, place it on. Bottom-Right holder(Blue dragon): Rotate it until u see the first 3 katakana being: A-O-Ki, then place it on. After u're done, go to the middle and if everything's correct, u will see the event. Lugul will arrive and smashes u all out of the way and he will go to the sacred land. And u will fight the boss. Not really hard, just dark breath being EXTREMELY hellish and annoying. Try to hit them as hard as possible, and when their 900 HP reaches 0, they will fall. From the power differences with the group and Lugul, we have no chance to win. So Rubius suggest going back to Nazare to get the remaining half of the devil monster's power for Iju so that they will have power to fight against Lugul. So, all proceed back to Nazare. Geez, Taito trying to waste time here...Nazare is gone from the world map! Meaning u hafta make ur way thru Ruhie Snow Mountain again. So off we go. RUHIE MOUNTAIN Exactly the same as last time, nothing more. Dun needa climb up the mountain, it's useless. Beat the boss and get to the exit to Nazare. NAZARE Same village, but with enemies. Can ignore them, coz they suck in exp and stuffs. Go straight to the temple, and proceed in. Walk to the end and u will see the half of the majuu, the seal will break, and u will need to fight it. Not a hard boss, beat it and now u can go back to the Guidance Tower to fight ur last battle. ANCIENT SHRINE Go thru the Guidance Tower again and enter the warp this time. U will get warped to a new place. Go up to the stone with the swirl, and enter it. U will now be in ur last dungeon, the Ancient Shrine. This part is way easier than any other dungeons u've been in recently, it's easy to go thru and pick up all treasures u see in the path. The powerful taiko(ancient) equipments are all here. After u reach the end, fight Lugul, and then after u beat him, Odin will summon Gordiac for u to fight. Beat it, watch the ending, and voila. . . ******************************************* CONGRATULATION, U HAVE FINISH THE GAME!!!! ******************************************* ------------------------------------ 6.
