RPGClassics.com - Phantasy Star IV

	The game starts with a hunter named Alys calling her new assistant Chaz to get ready for a job. They are going to Piata, the town of learning for an assignment. They get ready and leave, and thus begins the storyline.
AW 2284. Monster attacks have swelled the ranks of those who call themselves 'Hunters.' But as the attacks become ever
	more frequent and powerful, and elite few begin to wonder what is behind this outbreak... and when and how will it all end?
Upon arrival, Chaz gets seperated from Alys. Go find her and then go to the principal's office in the room just ahead.
	Meet with the principal and he will tell you that he hired hunters to exterminate the monsters that dwell within the academy basement. For some strange reason, monsters have begun appearing and breeding in the basement. Usually, monsters don't do that. But the principal knows nothing of the outbreak, or so he says. Exit the room and Alys will stop and say that she smells somethig fishy. Go down the stairs and into the middle area.
It seems that there is somebody guarding the entrance to the basement. He says that his name is Hahn. He wanted to go in and investigate himself, but it is a bit dangerous, so he waited for the Hunters to get there so he could join. Alys lets him tag along for 100 Meseta (the currancy of money here is Meseta). He pays up and you can enter.
	Fights will look like this. MACR is the automatic, pre-set fighting system. You set that in your menu for quicker comands. I always set 'A' to all fight, Alys, Chaz, and Hahn in this case. Experiment a while until you get comfortable. Go down a level in the basement, but no more. Wait until Hahn reaches Level 3 (he learns Wat at this point). Rest up at the Inn in town, and then go down the last stairway.
At the bottom, you will find strange capsules. Go up and talk to that ugly thing there for your first boss fight.
	Don't let my stats fool you, I did some things to make this walkthrough easier and quicker for me to make. Igglanova only uses Fission, which calls a Xanafalgue to help it. So here is the plan: Alys - Vortex, Hahn - Wat, and Chaz - Earth. If Earth fails for Chaz the first time, then have Chaz concentrate on killing the Xanafalgue. Do this, and you shouldn't even lose 1 HP.
After the easy fight, Alys and Chaz believe that the academy is breeding monsters. Hahn says that he knows nothing about it. Go back out and see the Principal to get further information.
	The Principal says that Professor Holt discovered Birth Valley has the cause of the outbreak of monsters, and brought capsules back and went back again. None came back to the academy, but when the Principal was about ready to send help, a man named Zio prevented him from doing so. Just then, Zio appears. He says not to go to Birth Valley, or pay the price for entering. Hahn decided to go anyway, and for protection, Alys offers to join for 300 Meseta, plus expenses.
Rest up and head outside. Monsters are stronger outside, so use Wat when you can. Head North from Piata to reach Mile. There is nothing much in town. A Sand Worm Ranch, and a Weapon Shop. Buy Chaz a Steel Sword, and Alys 2 Slashers. Give Hahn the 2 Hunting Knives, and sell what is not needed. Go outside and fight until Chaz learns Tsu. At this point, go under Macro 'B', and put: Hahn - Wat, Chaz - Tsu, and Alys - Foi. This will summon the first combination spell, Tri-Blaster.
