-----------------------------A Note to you all-----------------------------Please, feel free to email me secrets, tricks, tips and QUESTIONS*! Ineed questions to make a FAQ section. Read the Disclaimer at the bottomfor more information.

*Please don't ask questions on how to backtrack out of a dungeon. In

some places, I tell you how, such as Mount Kress. But in most placesyou should be able to find your way out. I mean, If you got in and gotwhat you needed, how hard is it to get out? I ask this because Ihonestly did not take down notes. So I won't be able to help you inthat area, unless its in the walkthrough already.

-----------------------------Credits-----------------------------Lots of thanks to [email protected] (Steve Rusher): I will point outthe two times I used his information. Both times in Mu.

Thanks to Tragician ([email protected]) for telling me about the

similarties between Soul Blazer and Illusion of Gaia! I have neverplayed Soul Blazer before. Terranigma is the third game. Thanks toCheeseGOTAS who told me a few seconds later.

Oh, Thanks to Nathanael Neisen for sending Steve the information onfighting the vampires with Freedan and how to get to the dark space soyou can change to Freedan.

Thanks to gamefaqs for posting this on the site. I worked so hard onthis and it is nice to see all my hard work on the site for other peopleto see!

-----------------------------Game Information

-----------------------------Players.....1Genre.......Action RPGPublisher...Enix/QuintetYear........1994Rom.........Yes, SNESRom Size....2 Megabytes

I have yet to play the rom version, but my friends tell me its prettymuch the same as the SNES version.

-----------------------------General Information

-----------------------------Illusion of Gaia is a great action rpg which ranks up there with Secretof Mana and Zelda. I liked this game very much and have beaten ittwice. I started playing it for the 3rd time today and thought that Iwould make a walkthrough. I feel that this is a very under rated gameand anyone who is lucky enough to pick up this gem will enjoy it verymuch! It is a very linear game, with its only one side quest:Collecting 50 jewels. But you will find that this game has a deepstory, especially for an action rpg, which usually aren't known forbeing strong in the story department.


4/36

-----------------------------Companions-----------------------------In this section I will give just a basic explanation on some of the maincharacters you will meet in the game. You can also find this in theinstruction booklet. But I did not copy it word for word, rather frommemory. Still, My explanation is a little different (and better).

Will - Will enjoys exploring with his father. He has some very uniquepowers but has yet to grasp the importance of them. He is the maincharacter and will be the one that you explore and fight with.Unfortunately he is the only playable character.

Kara - The Princess of Edward Castle. She is stubborn (and persistent)and insists on doing whatever she pleases. She will cause Will and co.a lot of problems.

Lance - Lances father, along with Will's father were lost in the Towerof Babel. Will and Lance are both determined to find there fathers andthey work well together. He will prove to be an asset to Will in thisgame.

Seth - Seth is introverted to say the least. Reticent and skinny, Sethisn't your common jock. However, he is very intelligent. He hangs outin the caves of South Cape all day, playing with his friends.

Lilly - Lilly is from Itory Village. She is very important to yourquest and also turns into a dandelion.

Erik - Erik is the young one in the group. And like any young kid, hewants to tag along with the group. But he will cause some problems forWill. He is the son of the richest man in town.

the way. Try to avoid using herbs. One may be necessary but itspossible to beat him using none. This fight takes about thirty secondsand is real fast paced so hopefully your not the strategic type.

*****************Boss Fight - 40 HP eachTwo Vampires!!! Going through all that trouble to change into Freedanwas worth it. He does more damage which is quintessential in such atough battle. Avoid the combination attack at all costs! It takes onethird your HP away (you'll know it when you see it, Its a huge ballthats quite easy to avoid). Concentrate on one at a time. Stay nearthe intersections so you can dodge the attacks. Hide around the cornersand fire friar shots when possible. Try to avoid using herbs. I usedone and I probably didn't have to. But don't feel bad if you use onlyone. No more than one though. Cutting either wire at the end of thefight is fine. Than try exiting to the south.

Read your Dad's journal and set the six hieroglyphs up like instructedin his journal. Head back outside and save. Step on the blue warp andchoose "jump in.

*****************Boss Fight - 40 HPUse Freedan's Friar shot! Jump off the ledge when she expands outwards.Keep in a constant motion of attack, jump and dodge and keep that

mentality throughout the fight. You shouldn't need any herbs! But shecauses earthquake which you should heed. It causes stones to fall fromthe ceiling, but can be easily dodged by jumping off the ledge. Moveback and forth from left to right and evade her energy balls. When sheturns into the ring of spirits, hit the one that isn't flashing. Whenthey chase you, wait until the last second and jump off the ledge beforethey hit you. Use good judgment to avoid them on the ground. Theteleporters are very handy to avoiding them! After you will get MysticStatue five!

-----------------------------Dao-----------------------------

Talk to Neil

-----------------------------Tower of Babel-----------------------------Search the alter where your flute was found for red jewel number 50!Try walking into the door to the right. Pick up, equip and use thecrystal ring to get past the beams. Face all the guardians again. Usethe same strategy as before. It should be much easier with beefed upstats and a power house like Shadow. I beat Viper and Sand Fangerwithout getting hit once. I almost beat Castoth perfectly but he took 8HP away at the end. The vampires gave me more than I bargained for so Ihad to use a herb mid way through the fight with the mummy. Limityourself to one herb! If you escape the vampire fight with more than 20

HP, you may not even need to use a herb! After all five guardians areconquered, head to the top. Save at the last dark space! You have oneof two options, one which will be explained in the next section. Makeyour way to the rooftop of this gargantuan tower!

*****************Boss Fight - 20 HPVery simple! Use shadow and hit the it many times and avoid thefireballs that fall. You will be done before you know it!

*****************Boss Fight - 40 HPWhen his mouth opens, beat him mercilessly! Melt when he shoots a lightbeam. Kill the blue bubbles off as quick as possible! If you savedyour herbs like I said, this will be easy! I had eight when I faced him

and used two or three.

-----------------------------Secret Dungeon and Boss-----------------------------If you have 50 red jewels and are at the last dark space. Talk to thespirit to the left of the dark space and return to Dao. Talk to Gem andyou are transported to a secret dungeon! There are a few platforms tojump off of and a few times that you will need to use psycho slide. Butall and all, this is a straight foward dungeon. Anyways, Battle yourway through the monster packed mansion and meet up with Solid Arm!


25/36

***Thanks to Tragician ([email protected]) for some moreinformation on Solid Arm. It turns out he is the first boss in SoulBlazer. I have never played that game :).

*****************Boss Fight - 40 HPSolid Arm is very very arduous! Don't use the middle belt, it moves youinto his sweeping arm and you will most likely die. Instead, lure him

to one side by standing under the belt and blocking his fireballs withyour flute. Run up the belt and hit him and move out! He has two mainattacks, a fireball which either A. Moves at a 45 degree angle andchanges direction about halfway or B. Three that move down than headtowards you when they reach the bottom platform. He also hits you withhis arms if you get to close, all the while hitting you with a barrageof fireballs. If you are caught sleeping, he will beat you down withrapid fire shooting. He attacks quickly and with precision. Thisbattle may end in a matter of seconds! So prepare yourself and try tolimit yourself to five or six herbs.

-----------------------------Boss List

-----------------------------1. Castoth - Found in the Incan Ruins2. Viper - Found in the Sky Garden3. Jack and Silvana (Vampires) - Found in Mu4. Sand Fanger - Found in Great Wall5. Mummy Queen - Found in Pyramid6. Solid Arm - A secret boss, collect 50 red jewels7. Comet - The Stars above the Tower of Babel8. Dark Gaia - Fight after Comet, last boss

-----------------------------Boss strategy with HP amounts-----------------------------

Castoth - 40 HPCastoth is no walk in the park. In fact, he is a grotesque beast withsome nasty attacks! He is fairly difficult for a first boss. Your maintarget is his hands. Defeat those and hit his head, when his eyes widenthat is your cue! Damage him and watch out for his head beams andshots! The safest refuge from his onslaught is the back ledge. Attackthis repugnant beast with no reprieve and don't be afraid to use a herbor two! He should be dead in two to three turns. Exit to the north.Congrats! You beat the first of six guardians! Head north and dropdown the pit.

Viper - 40 HPCompared to Castoth, Viper is much easier! But he is still repulsive!Dodge the feathers and hit him when he swoops in. He is easy to dodge

so don't take to long on the defense. Spend most of your time on theoffense and pummel this sorry excuse for a bird taking a few hits alongthe way. Try to avoid using herbs. One may be necessary but itspossible to beat him using none. This fight takes about thirty secondsand is real fast paced so hopefully your not the strategic type.

Jack and Silvana - 40 HP eachTwo Vampires!!! Going through all that trouble to change into Freedanwas worth it. He does more damage which is quintessential in such atough battle. Avoid the combination attack at all costs! It takes onethird your HP away (you'll know it when you see it, Its a huge ballthats quite easy to avoid). Concentrate on one at a time. Stay nearthe intersections so you can dodge the attacks. Hide around the corners

and fire friar shots when possible. Try to avoid using herbs. I usedone and I probably didn't have to. But don't feel bad if you use onlyone. No more than one though. Cutting either wire at the end of thefight is fine. Than try exiting to the south.

Sand Fanger - 40 HPHit the Sand Fanger when he comes out of the ground than get out of theway! When he dives back down you can't hit him and he can hurt you bytaking four HP. When he pops his head out of the ground to spit outeggs, thats your cue to trounce him with all you've got. Sometimes hesends little baddies out, but with no more than five HP each, they are


30/36

taken care of rather abruptly. This is an overall easy battle. DO NOTuse any herbs! Mystic Statue number four! Climb the ladder to theright. Head right and down the stairs. Head left. Talk to Lilly thanLance. After, exit to the right.

Mummy Queen - 40 HPUse Freedan's Friar shot! Jump off the ledge when she expands outwards.Keep in a constant motion of attack, jump and dodge and keep that

mentality throughout the fight. You shouldn't need any herbs! But shecauses earthquake which you should heed. It causes stones to fall fromthe ceiling, but can be easily dodged by jumping off the ledge. Moveback and forth from left to right and evade her energy balls. When sheturns into the ring of spirits, hit the one that isn't flashing. Whenthey chase you, wait until the last second and jump off the ledge beforethey hit you. Use good judgment to avoid them on the ground. Theteleporters are very handy to avoiding them! After you will get MysticStatue five!

Comet - 20 HPVery simple! Use shadow and hit the it many times and avoid thefireballs that fall. You will be done before you know it!

Dark Gaia - 40 HPWhen his mouth opens, beat him mercilessly! Melt when he shoots a lightbeam. Kill the blue bubbles off as quick as possible! If you savedyour herbs like I said, this will be easy! I had eight when I faced himand used two or three.
