Now that I think about Vinheim, what would Mithos be doing with the Sacred Stone stashed there? The thing is used with the evil book thing in Sybak.

Ookay...Erica doesn't sound like Colette. Collete sounds like Erica...

Miyu-chan August 26th, 2005 8:51 PM

Speaking of the evil book...

I was beating that sidequest with my little brother, when the Game Cube shut down on us. T-T We were on level 11.... T-t

Cherrim August 26th, 2005 9:15 PM

;_; Aww...poor Miyu. The same thing happened to me. Er, sorta. Whenever I release those...torch things or whatever, I never pay attention and just keep hitting A. So I often end up getting those green ones that send you back to the surface and I have to start all over. x_X;

Maybe the stone was there so people wouldn't use it to unlock the book? Haven't played that part in a while. x_x

And okay, that's fine. XD As long as I'm the original and Colette's the, er, copier. o_O

*~Ashley~* August 26th, 2005 9:24 PM

Ugh, I hate that book sidequest. It just won't let me beat it. Such a pain... it hates me. x_x

Poor Evelina. ;_; I had a power surge hit after I beat some boss *can't remember which one* and since there were like, a zillion cut-scenes following the battle, I forgot to save... I hadn't saved for hours. <<;

Er, I still don't think Erica sounds like Colette... or Colette sounds like Erica, or whatever. O_o;

I never "examine' the torches. I just light them up and leave it there. The monsters in the book are the best ever. It's nice to have Lloyd petrified in the middle of a swing.

When you first started playing, what was the hardest puzzle/boss? It was the warp puzzle and the platform sound thingy in the Remote Island Ranch for me. I spent two days in there.

*~Ashley~* August 26th, 2005 9:49 PM

Ooh, yeah... that last part of the Remote Island Ranch with all those warp things. x_x I <3 the part with the floor tiles when you first get there though... that's so easy~

The hardest for me... I dunno, when I first started, everything was hard. I was terrible at pretty much everything. XD; I really hated that part in the Tower of Salvation when you're weightless... I'm terrible at figuring out those puzzles that involve navigating around rooms by sliding into walls. That took me forever to figure out. ><;

The Fly August 26th, 2005 9:50 PM

I never knew I could examine the torches until I read a FAQ while in my fourth playthrough. Oh boy, I got so much rare stuff from those torches...

The hardest puzzle...Latheon Gorge. I didn't know what I was doing the first time around, I gave up and left the game alone for three days before going back and thinking how to solve that whole wind plant thingy...

I would've been screwed big time with the Palmacosta Ranch puzzle if I didn't have my Nintendo Power book with me (it had the strategy guides for most of Sylvarant). And even with it, it still took me a while to get through the puzzle o.O

That was pretty easy for me. I just used the radar and stared and each warp circle trying to find a difference. And I found one too! The circle that goes along with the path to Magnius is the circle with another circle radiating out from the center when you look at it using the radar.

TRIFORCE89 August 27th, 2005 5:29 AM

...


For the first time ever! I'm...I'm...I'm stuck in a video game! *blinks* Nooooooooooo! How could I have slipt so badly, especially when I've beaten the game before. This is not good.

I finally got back to my second playthrough *took an incredibly long break in the middle of it*. I'm trying to get the Rheiards right now. I have the three passwords to open the door. I keep goin to the door that I think is the proper door (since I've been to every other room many many many times to check if I've missed something) and nothing happens. Door doesn't open, I don't get to choose my passwords, nothing. I stand there and that's it. I'm sure that's the wron door, but there' nowhere else for me to go. T_T;

This is not well at all. I'm so ashamed.

(Have fun Erica!)

*~Ashley~* August 27th, 2005 5:42 AM

Kinda strange that the first time you get stuck in a game is during your second playthrough of it. XD; But now that I think about it... I couldn't figure out where to go during my second playthrough either. O_o; Hmm... I can't really remember what to do there since it's been awhile since I did that, but I think the room that you need the passwords to open the door at the very top of that big room with the elevator thingy up the stairs on the left. I hated pushing those boxes around to solve that puzzle, it was so frustrating. x_x

Chibi-chan August 27th, 2005 6:44 AM

Yay! I FINALLY beat me first game! ^___^ Now I can go back and do all the things I didn' do!
..........
It's not letting me play it...;-;
I have to start a new one?! Man, I only have 1367 GRADE....should I keep me gald (113,975), techs, titles or what? I'm afraid I'll make a mistake...I'm going for the Zelos ending now...me need help ;-;
I'm still pissed I cant play me old file >_>

The Fly August 27th, 2005 7:20 AM

Hmm...it depends. If you've used the Tech Glitch to get certain Techs, you should keep them. I suggest you keep the number you've used Techs, whether you keep them or not, as they'll still be there when you re-learn them.

If you put more effort into receiving titles you want your characters to have, you should keep those. Some titles I went through craploads to do, especially the one where no one in my party dies before reaching the Tower of Mana seal (Colette gets that one.) So, I suggest you should choose between the two of those.

Chibi-chan August 27th, 2005 7:27 AM

I guess I'll keep the techs then..I would die w/o my sword rain! XD I didn't know about the 'you can only get this in a certain time' titles when I first got it o_0 I dont think I would live w/o using a gel for the Genis title...or die for that matter...

The Fly August 27th, 2005 7:41 AM

Yeah, I'd keep the titles too. Since I've used the Tech Glitch to give the whole party a load of T and S variations of moves, I wouldn't want to do that again.

I think I could get the no gels title...since I play on Mania mode and nothing else, Normal Mode should be a pushover...I doubt I'd use gels on that mode.[/cocky]

Chibi-chan August 27th, 2005 8:13 AM

I don't know about this Tech Glitch....I cant get titles AND techs! My GRADE is so low...*kicks GRADE* I wish I had just..40 more GRADE..T_T

cold_katanagirl August 27th, 2005 8:15 AM

The hardest puzzle for me was that one where you were weightless in Welgaia, and the one in the Temple of Ice. I'm really bad with sliding puzzles. <_<

I thought the Latheon Gorge was kinda easy, but aggravating because I seemed to go to the same room like a gazillion times because I never payed attention. I thought the Remote Island Ranch was fun. ^^

Yaaay I have no practice today, so all I'm going to do is sit back, play lots of ToS (I haven't played it in forever), and watch new Inuyasha episodes and the second Inu movie. [/is currently Inu obsessed] XD

For this playthrough, I'm hoping to get 4000 grade. I just want all the gald and 10 EXP.

Man, that's got to suck...I remember when I was only 5 GRADE short of getting the Techs, Titles, and x10 EXP...that really sucked.

The Tech Glitch is pretty time-consuming...but it's really worth it...*thinks about Genis having Explosion and Flame Lance at the same time* There's a FAQ about it somewhere on GameFaqs...I'll provide a link if anyone wants it.

cold_katanagirl August 27th, 2005 9:33 AM

I heard about the Tech Glitch... I never actually tried though.

Miyu-chan August 27th, 2005 9:40 AM

I think my brother made Lloyd have SW:Alpha and Raining Beast at the same time or something... o.o;

...the hardest was maybe Ymir forest... We were like... 3 little fishes got eaten. xD The Shadow temple was frustrating, but the little shadows were cute. <3

Oh man, I forgot about the Ymir Forest! The first time, I could not figure it out. Just couldn't. I gave up on the game until I found a FAQ on how to beat the Ymir Forest...I felt so humiliated when I found out how fairly easy the puzzle was to solve...

Miyu-chan August 27th, 2005 9:51 AM

I hated the fish part. o.o;And the making bugs fall off out the tree part. o.o;

And the big fishes kept eating my little fist, and it took forever to get to the bratty elf kid. >"<;

...Yeah. o.o; I couldn't believe how easy it was on our second playthough.

cold_katanagirl August 27th, 2005 10:44 AM

Oh gosh, I completely forgot about the Temple of Darkness. That place sucks, not as much as Welgaia though.

Ymir Forest was really easy my first playthrough, then for some reason I completely forgot what to do on my second. It took me a long while to remember you had to use the bugs. o_o

Metaforte August 27th, 2005 11:54 AM

The Book Sidequests was probably the hardest, most painful, and difficult side quests ever. Gah, I was stuck on the 4th floor when your Tp goes down from every step. It killed me because I got lost in it. The, I finally realized that i had to kill all of the enemies in the area before the next portal shall appear -_-;

The Hell knight was annoying though. His sword his how long? Allowing him to strike my spellcasters (Genis and Raine) with ease and usually KOing them in a few attacks. He had the same HP as Sword Dancer 2 or 3 I know that, but they were easily too.

The, I reached the magical green flame when I was at the final floor. I didn't have enough soulfire although, but still, I was about to finish it. The green flame asked me if I wanted to leave the dungeon. I thought, If I left here, when I come back to visit, I would spawn back at that same spot from where I came, but I didn't when I left! I just turned of my system after that.

I hated the Temple Of Lighting SOOOO badly. I get lost all the time and such. Plus, there's too many boring tasks you must complete. The Temple of Darkness was no trip to Astroworld neither. I hated the part that you had to collect the Shadow fragments as well. Also, they move slowly too. I was soo happy when I left.

Ymir forest was no fun at all, but the puzzles were slightly amusing.

Getting out of Welgagia x_X;;;
I spent a day trying to figure out how to get out. And I didn't use the internet or anything... I eventually found out that there were lifts in the zero-g room. ^^;;

Just got out of the Temple of Darkness. Man, I hate those Shadow blobs.
And my best relationship is *still* Colette. *sigh* It'll go down eventually, probably before my Flanoir scene... hopefully. I'm trying Zelos, but I don't know how well that will work out. o_o
And if I can't work that out, I'll be happy with Sheena. XD

Ohhh yes, Ryo is TEH AWESOME... too bad her computer is down... I LOVE her stuff, especially that Star Wars ToS one... XDDDDDDD

I hated the Palmacosta Ranch, Ymir Forest, Welgaia, Volt's Temple, and Shadow's Temple... I needed FAQ's for those. >___< I can get through them all now, except Welgaia... I STILL need an FAQ for that one... :dead:

Walkthrough 4: I'm right outside Flanoir... the Kratos or Zelos? scene... I want so badly to finish my Collector's Book... but I don't want to pick Kratos when Zelos is my highest affection character... :\

w00t 4 my new avvy and siggy!! XD My avvy is part of this drawing ^^.
