[Necromancer]

Nicely done, Keranu!  You're blowing the doors off the rest ot the "plays well together" group.

Thanks! Currently on level 8!

Couple tips for level 7:

- There's an unconscious female that's been taking care of by a few people in a cave up north. Go back to the rocky maze area and there should be a nun/clergy woman standing somewhere reading one of the stone tablets. After talking to her she will walk back to her home that's located one screen north. Presumably, she says she needs an ingredient to make the medicine to bring the unconscious lady back to life.

To find this ingredient, go back to the screen that's located directly north from the town you start off in. Around the northwestern corner of this screen will be a lone tree that's distinct from all the dried up bushes in the area. Stand in front of the tree and press the talk/confirm button and you will receive a leaf. Bring this leaf back to the clergy woman and she will make the medicine that you'll bring back to the cave.

- After reviving the unconscious lady she will join your party. Go back to the dungeon shrine place and take the staircase the leads to the basement. The new girl in your party will open the door that was previously locked shut. Continue down this path until you reach a room full of six statues. Talk to the middle one on the right (statue 5) and it will light up and say some stuff. Now here's the trick: before you can illuminate the rest of the statues, you must first unequip your sword and armor and then talk to each of them! Afterwards a teleport panel will appear on the floor and will transport you to a room where you find this red head babe Aerios has the hots for. Once the dialogue is over, you'll now be able to utilize the teleport panels on the second floor and move onto the side scrolling section.

Wow level 8 was a long, dragged out pain the ass! I had to get a friend to translate one of the dialogues for me so I could get a better idea of what was going on.

The part I was stuck on was after receiving this pot/container from the old guy in the house on the most eastern part of the map. Thanks to the help of my translator buddy, turns out this was actually a jug of sake (or any alcohol, same meaning).

So what you have to do is go back to the house with three officials/generals/slave owners/whatever you want to call them that are located around the center of the map and get them drunk to the point of falling asleep. This only works for the men in the black uniforms, so talk to each of them around three times and they'll pass out.

The man in the blue uniform won't drink (presumably, or has a super alcohol tolerance). Instead he requires a certain item. To find this item, climb up the mountain wall north from here (the one that has the annoying birds dropping stones!). Go inside the house and click on the brown drawer and you'll receive an item that looks like berries. Bring this back to the official and he'll do something with it outside. As he's fiddling around, sneak inside his bed and press the action button to receive a new item (I forget what it was).

The rest of the level should be straight forward fetch quests.

I'm currently on floor 19-ish in the big tower. Leave it to Falcom to go all out on the last dungeon!

More tips:

Level 9 is a breeze, basic fetch quests. It's a short level too, nice break from the dragged out previous levels.

Level 10 is pretty easy too, but there was a puzzle that took me awhile to figure out. Outside of the town, there are four pyramids in the desert scattered in a north, east, south, west fashion (the northern pyramid is one screen north and one screen east from the town, the other pyramids are four screens apart from each other). Each pyramid has two goddesses statues in front that can be rotated by pressing the action button.

The entrance for each pyramid is blocked by some sort of force. When you're ready to enter the pyramids (I believe you need to have the green haired character wearing a hat in your party for this), you'll need to change the direction of all the goddess statues to correspond in the direction of the pyramid you want to enter. For example, if you want to enter the western pyramid, change the direction of all the statues to face west. There will be a boss fight in each pyramid you enter, and beating them will give you four wind items.

After defeating each boss, change the direction of all the statues to face east (I might be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that's the direction). Go to the screen that's located in the center between all the pyramids and talk to your friends standing around the middle of the screen. There will be a cinema and you'll be transported to the next dungeon. WARNING: After you're transported, you can't go back, so make sure you're stocked up on vitamins!

Finished this one last night! What a kick ass last boss and ending! The tower isn't that hard actually, it just requires a lot of time and a hefty dash of patience.

[PUSH RUN BUTTON!]

After being completely frustrated during my last go around, I'm going to give this another shot. Thanks for all the great work on this, it's definitely helpful!!

Awesome work, guys. Congrats Keranu!

This thread will be updated soon, thanks for your patience!

The last action level is simply the most beautiful thing I've ever seen on a PCE.

Yeah, the cool thing about the Xanadu games is that they already look gorgeous enough as is, but the last levels go balls out on the graphics! They look 32-bit good.

congrats Keranu on finishing!

[Keranu]

Thanks! This game requires a lot of dedication to make it through the language barrier, there are some really cryptic puzzles and triggers to figure out. That's why I started posting in this thread to help out blueraven if he ever gets stuck while making the walkthrough. I actually wasn't aware there was a play together thread for this game when I decided to start playing it.
