Save the Princess


The game begins in the main character's uncle's house. Listen to what he says and step outside for your first look at Rodetia, your home town. Take a few moments to look around and talk to all the people here. The first thing you need to do is talk to the King, because you can't even leave town without his permission.

Note: If you are using the translation patch that this walkthrough was based on click here. (It's at the very bottom)
The King tells you that his daughter is sick and he knows that you want to save her and become famous, bla bla bla. He then tells you that you need to prove your worth in the arena below before you set out.


Go downstairs and into the arena. You only have to fight one battle and it's relatively easy. If you haven't done so already, read the tips section for help on the battle engine here.

If you lose take the advice of the King and quit, you're not going to survive. Or start over with a new character and distribute your points better, or differently.
After the battle go back to the throne room and talk to the King. He tells you that you have proven your worth and he gives you 100g and a donkey. The donkey allows you to hold 12 items, instead of the usual 8, whoopee.


Now that we have 100g let's go spend it! Head on over to the weapon shop and buy the following items based on your class choice.
  • Fighter or Knight:
    • Leather Shield (Fighter only)
    • Leather Helmet
  • Thief:
    • Leather Helmet
  • Mage, Priest, Shaman or Bishop:
    • Ancient Staff
    • Silk Cloak
    • Magic Bracelet (Shaman starts with one)
    • Feel (Magic; Priest only)
    • Flame (Magic; Mage only)
If you have any extra cash, make sure you fill up on herbs, they help tremendously.
For all of you Mages/Priests/Bishops out there sorry for the high maintenance cost. You won't have enough money to buy all the equipment at once so this next step is for you. (And for all the other classes too)

Head outside of the village and level up until about level 4. Don't worry, this isn't Final Fantasy, it should only take a few minutes. Every time you level up make sure you save at the Inn and go to the weapon store to see if there is any new equipment you can buy, and finally, make sure you stock up on herbs before setting out again.


At level 4 you should be strong enough to kill all the enemies in one hit, if not don't panic you soon will be able to. The city guard tells you that there is a chemist in a city to the north. Let's head to Rarm!

Upon arriving in Rarm, your first order of business is saving at the Inn, notice it's 6g, instead of the normal 2g. After this head to the Weapon Shop and buy to your heart's content, or just buy the following items:
  • Fighter, Thief or Knight:
    • Chain Mail
After this head to the northern "Item Shop". It really isn't a item shop, but a potion shop that only makes one type of potion, and only if he has a special flower.


You now need to get said flower, but you could use a little training beforehand. Go into the "Rarm Cave" and train to level 5. The enemies are a lot harder here, but you should be okay.

Note: The enemies here give you about the same amount of exp as the enemies on the overworld. "Then why would I want to train in this friggin' cave???" Because each battle nets you about 20g. Now see? This money will be very helpful in the near future, so don't waste any of it.... as if you could. While training in the cave, head one screen down and you will see a big gap in the floor. To cross this gap you will need a rope, which you will get in just a few moments.

After you get to level 5, head back to Rarm, save and buy anything you couldn't earlier. If you didn't earlier, talk to everybody in the town and they tell you that to get the Flower of Impression you need to cross the gap in the cave.

There is a rumor of a man in Rarm that has a rope. Let's recruit him; he'll be the first addition to your party. Head to the eastern exit and follow the edge of the map, as shown in the pic. When you get all the way around you'll see a man there. Talk to him and he joins your party! His name is Baran, and he is level 1. I know you're thinking, "Why in the world did you have me train 'till level 5 if I could have been training with this guy?" The answer is simple: because it's a very stupid idea to enter the Rarm cave with two low-level characters. Answer your question? Well, anyway train Baran up one level on the overworld, and if you haven't done so already, buy him a Chain Mail armor; then enter the cave to train him there until level 3.

After this training, save at the inn and go back to the cave, all the way to the gap. When you get to the gap, go up to it and open your item menu. Select  rope and use it. Cross the gap, and go up to the exit to the next room. In the next room, go north to the chest and open it to get a Pegasus Feather, and open it again (no, I'm not kidding) to get a DualHerb. After this go south and around the bend to the exit which leads back to the overworld. Go south to the little forest and enter it to finally get the Flower of Impression (just kidding, you have to look around a little first).

Once you're in the forest you'll have to do some looking (and some finding) to get the flower. Make sure you check every flower for the real one. I'm not going to tell you where I found it for two reasons. 1: I'm not sure if it's random every time, so I might be telling you in vain. 2: It helps if you level up a little in here. Try to get your main character to 6 and Baran to 5.

Exit the forest after you have the flower and now you have two options. You can either go back to Rarm through the cave, or you can use your Pegasus Feather to warp to Rodetia and head up to Rarm from there. If you choose the latter, make sure you save in Rodetia, it's a third of the price.

Anyway, head back to Rarm and go to the upper item shop and have the guy there make you the Potion. After arriving in Rodetia enter the castle and give the potion to Meldi and then talk to the King. He thanks you and recognizes you as an adventurer, giving you permission to use the guild. He also tells you to visit Ruval and gives you his permission to enter. If you talk with Meldi again, she'll ask you to check up on Prince Levin, her lover.

Head out of the castle and enter the guild in the town.

Enter the guild, but before you talk to the guy there, read this. Recruit the two people there and if you have any females in your party, let them do the job here. Anyway, since you are a bounty hunter/mercenary/guild member that does good for the common people, you need another job. Let's follow the King's advice and head on over (north) to Ruval.
