============================================================================== ============================================================================== Akazukin ChaCha (SNES) FAQ/Walkthrough Version 1.0 Written by J.C.Shutup Copyright 2006 Juan Aguilera E-mail: john.charles.shutup@gmail.com ============================================================================== ============================================================================== Welcome to this Akazukin Cha Cha FAQ/Walkthrough. This guide is intended to help players who are stuck at some point in the game, but want to continue and finish. I wrote this with the help of a ROM, so the guide could be more accurate. Akazukin Cha Cha was published by Tomy in 1996. It was only released in Japan, and therefore, it's in Japanese for the most part, so it will be natural that players who don't speak Japanese (or know nothing about the series) get easily stuck. I was going for a guide in Spanish, but seeing as there aren't any English guides of Akazukin Cha Cha, I wrote this guide. This game turns out to be quite addictive, despite its childish look. So, have a great time with this game! ****************************************************************************** (To find a specific thing, press CTRL+F and type in what you're looking for) ----------------- Table of contents ----------------- 1.

Version history ============================================================================== Version 1.0 : -Complete walkthrough, will get you from beginning to end. -Missing most characters' names, storyline, etc... ============================================================================== 2. Storyline ============================================================================== (coming soon...maybe not so soon) ============================================================================== 3. Characters ============================================================================== (Please note that this section is very INCOMPLETE! If you have any info, send it to me via E-mail, it's at the beginning of this guide) -Cha Cha : she's the character you control in the main map. She wears a red hood. -Riiya : he's the one who morphs into a...wolf? -Shiine : he's the other one. -Seravi : he's the one with the green hair who lives in your house. -Dorothy : she's the one who has a castle and long pink hair. -Marin : she's the pink haired girl that's in the school area. -Yakko : she's the one with purple hair and a black hood. -Magical Princess Holy-Up : Cha Cha turns into her when using the medallion. (the rest coming soon) ============================================================================== 4. Controls ============================================================================== Main map (You control Cha Cha): Direction pad: Move, choose an option in dialogs, move through the menu. A: Talk to people, open chests, select an option in dialogs. B: When combined with the direction pad, you move faster, riding a broom. Shiine will also ride a broom, and Riiya will turn into a wolf. X: Bring up the menu. Y: Bring up the menu. In Battle: Direction pad: choose target, choose weapon/item. A: Attack command, select target, select weapon/item. B: Guard command, exit menu, cancel attack/item. X: Magic command. Y: Item command. L and R are not used, I believe... ============================================================================== 5. Game physics ============================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 5.1 In Battle ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ When you enter a Battle, a 4-letter thing will appear, and will approach the character with the highest speed (usually Riiya or one of the enemies). This character is the first one that performs an Action. An Action could be using a magic attack, normal attack, item or guard. After this character performs an Action, another one performs an Action (the one with the second-highest speed). Then continues another one (according to speed), and so on, until all of your allies or enemies are defeated. All of your characters have the same amount of HP (represented by hearts, each heart worth 25 HP) and magic power [MP] (with the exception of Riiya). When it's your turn, you can use an item, attack, cast a spell, etc. You should take the most advantage of your turn to win. Attack command: You will simply do a physical attack, it does little damage, except for Riiya when it's a wolf, which usually does nice damage. Magic command: You will bring up a menu, and you can choose one on the many spells you get at your disposal, either for helping your party, or damaging the enemy. In the case of Riiya, you turn into a wolf. Keep an eye in MP. Item command: You will bring up another menu, allowing you to choose one of the many items there are, either for damaging the enemy with a Hammer (if you have one), or helping your party. You can also turn Cha Cha into the princess with the "P" medallion. Guard command: This will protect you from some attacks. ************ About spells ************ Both Cha Cha and Shiine have access to many spells, some are defensive and some are offensive. Keep in mind that Princess Holy-Up has different spells respect to Cha Cha (the sword, the bow and the shield). Riiya has no spells, instead, when he uses the magic command, he'll turn into a wolf. *********** About items *********** You can choose to attack with a hammer, which generally has more attack power than the regular attack command; or you can choose to recover HP/MP with the help of items. You also have the option to turn Cha Cha into Princess Holy-Up by selecting the "P" medallion. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 5.2 Out of battle ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ You have control of Cha Cha, and the other characters will follow her. You can open chests, and talk to other people. When you find a pink bird, you get the chance to save, by choosing the first option. And, when you get to the end of a chapter, you can save the game and exit by talking to Seravi and choosing the second option. ============================================================================== 6. Walkthrough ============================================================================== Please note that I DON'T speak Japanese, so I have absolutely no idea what the characters are saying. If you got the game script in English, please send it to me via E-mail, and you will be fully credited. Anyway, this walkthrough will get you from beginning to end. To start, choose an empty file (those have no hearts), and enjoy!! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 6.1 Chapter 1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Cha Cha, Riiya and Shiine appear, introducing Chapter 1. Then, Riiya will appear and you will get to choose an option. Choose either option, and Shiine will appear. Again, choose any option, and you will gain control of Cha Cha. Check the structure left of the bookshelf to get an MP-restoring item. Now get out of your house. A blue creature will appear, saying something, choose the first option (it says "OK!"). Open the chest for a HP-restoring meal, and go down the hole. Follow the creature to a teleporting paw. You will appear in some other place with a statue, a chest and a house. Open the chest to find a blue potion (are those things potions?) that restores both HP and MP. Enter the house. Notice the chest in the upper part of this place. If you get close to it, the left creature will say something and will prevent you from opening the chest. So talk to him and choose "OK!" (first option) twice. Now you can open the chest, and you will get the "P" medallion! If you press A in front of the chest again, you will be given two options, but these do nothing. Leave this place via the same way you came. You will find Seravi, talk to her. Now go down to get to the main place. The first thing you'll notice is a carnival tent. Talk to everybody here (6 people in total). You can't enter the tent right now, so continue. If you talk to the chinese man 3 times, he will give you an item. Go to the top-right path, and follow it to find another character (she appears in the main screen), her name is Dorothy. Talk to her too. Open the chest she's guarding for a HP-restoring item. Go inside her house. Check the left barrel for another HP-restoring item. Get out of this place, and in the main area, go right to find another area (this one is a little bigger than the one we previously visited). Talk to the frog-man and the kid. Enter the house if you want, but you will find nothing of interest. The southern sewer path is blocked by some sort of blue bird statue. The other sewer path has nothing. Return to the main area and go southeast. There's a chest that contains a MP/HP-restorer item. From here, go west until you find another path. Go through this path to find an X-shaped pond. Talk to the guy that's next to the tree. If you want, enter the white tent and go through the hole to find a teleporting paw. You will find another bird statue, but this one is red. Go back (again) to the main area. Before you go through the western path, open the chest north of this path to find a HP/MP-restoring salad. Now, go through this path to find a building (I think it's a school). Open the southwestern chest to find a HP-restoring item. Now talk to the four people here (choose whatever you like when talking to the northwestern guy and the big-eyed woman). Notice the two bird statues. Return to the main area, and go through the northwestern path to find a kid and a cave, talk to this kid and leave (don't bother trying to enter the cavern). Now go out of this place and save, if you want (talk to the bird and choose the first option). Now that we went through the paths clockwise, why not exploring the houses counter-clockwise? Enter the northwestern house to find a kid and a lot of plants. Talk to the kid and leave. Enter the house that's south of the one we recently entered (it has a sign). Talk to the five "scientists" here and leave. Now enter the house that's right of this one. Check the barrel to find a HP-restoring item. In every chapter, a new dish will appear, so remember to visit the house every Chapter. Talk to the two ladies, then leave this house and enter the southeastern one. Talk to the two ladies and the boy. Leave the house. Wow, we have been talking a lot! But wait, you will see why we talk so much to other people! Enter the northeastern house, talk to the two people there. Remember you couldn't enter the tent? Well, now all the people got out of the way, so you can enter! Ignore the warnings the lady gives to you and enter. Go inside, and you will notice you can't get out! So go towards the hole, and a purple-haired boy will say something, his name is Yakko. Notice the pink-haired girl is imprisoned. Now go through the hole, and you will find two barrels and a treasure chest. Push the rightmost barrel down, the other barrel left, and the first barrel we pushed, right. Open the chest for a fully reviving potion. Now, go talk to the owl-man. Choose the third option and he will give you some restoring items as well as a hammer (it looks like a toy, actually). Save, and push the barrel to the left. Enter the hole and you will find someone you saw before...approach him and your first battle starts!! Check the enemies' section for tips. After the battle, you will notice your stats improved. Go back to your house and talk to Seravi, choose the second option. Chapter 1 cleared! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 6.2 Chapter 2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Cha Cha is having something to eat, when Seravi, Shiine and Riiya appear. They will bring you to the bedroom, where a strange paw appeared in the mirror. Check the shelf that's right of the sink (same one as Chapter 1), to get a MP-restoring item. This item will appear in every chapter, so be sure to get it! Now approach to the window, and choose the first option. Go through the window and you will appear at some kind of palace. There are three ladies here. After some impressions, Riiya turns into a wolf, and you regain control of Cha Cha. Go through the eastern door (you can't get out), and Riiya will notice a paw. Approach it and you will appear at some sort of structure, guarded by two blue creatures, same type as the ones protecting the medallion. Go up the structure to find another lady, presumably a queen. Talk to the lady, and the green-dressed woman will come, and they'll leave the room. Follow them to the main room. Who is this monster!!??? It turned Riiya and Shiine into two ugly gray blobs!! Choose either option, and the queen will cast some spell on Cha Cha, and you regain control of her. Save if you want and go out. This is a nice place, don't you think? Noticed how the houses are placed relatively to the ones in the other "world"? Go to the rightmost path, and find a paw. Go through it, and follow the path to find a full-reviving potion. Go back to the main area, and go south. See that blocked house? You can't ever imagine what's inside it. Now go to the northwestern house to find a chest containing a HP-restoring item. Return to the main area. If you go through the left path, you will find a tree, but the entrance is blocked by a lion. The path to the northwest leads to a cave where there are two "goddesses" and a chest with...nothing. Back into the main area, the chest north of the palace holds a blue potion. All that's left is the northwestern path...so go through it, and enter the cave. You will emerge at some highlands. In the chest you will find some sushi. Go through the paw that's north of the chest, and you will emerge at some winter wonderland place. Open the chest to find some food. Return, go past the pink bird, and talk to the girl there. Choose any option, and follow her to a pond. Approach to the pond and a goddess will show up. Choose the first option, and you will have to answer a quiz. Here's the order of the answers: 1. 3rd option 2. 1st option 3. 2nd option 4. 2nd option 5. 3rd option 6. 2nd option 7. 3rd option After the quiz, choose the first option to turn Shiine and Riiya back into their natural forms. Get out of this place, and open the chest to find some rice. Also, notice the owl-man. Go back to the main area, and the green woman will say something. Return to the palace and the queen will talk to you. Choose the first option, and she will block the mirror. Choose the first option again. Approach to her, and talk to her once more, choose the second option. She will get out of the way, and the paw sign will appear again. Enter the mirror, Seravi will say something, and Chapter 2 ends (sadly, no battles in this chapter). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 6.3 Chapter 3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All main characters are in the bedroom, when this ugly monster appears! The same that turned Riiya and Shiine into two blobs! And it breaks up the mirror! Now you must find the pieces and repair the mirror! Get some food from the armoire. Go to the main area. Go get the food dish in the southern house, and go through the path to the right, and you will find...a frog house??? Enter this place. The first thing you will notice is a weird disk in the floor, and that the bottom floor is wet. Well, those disks are teleports, and you must navigate through this maze to find some treasures and the enemy. First, enter the disk that is just to your right. You will find a pink bird, a frog-man guarding another teleport (this is our target), and a barrel that is blocking the entrance. Go back to the beginning. Go up the pink stairs, and a frog-man will follow you. Ignore him, and go right. Enter the left teleport, and go up those stairs. If you go northeast, you will find a door, enter if you want, but there's nothing of interest. So, go down the stairs left of the door, and enter the teleport on the right. You will appear in a wet area with five teleports. Go into the southernmost teleport to find a frog-man blocking the path, talk to him. Choose either option and he will get out. Get the food from the chest, and go back to the five-teleport area. The second teleport leads to a blocked path, and the third will only make you return almost to the beginning. So go through the fourth teleport. Talk to the frog-men here if you want, it's fun to watch. Follow the path to find another teleport and go through it. Go up the stairs, and enter this new teleport. Now you are in an area with two frogs, the owl-man, and three teleports. Go through the middle one to find a chest that contains some nice food. Go back and through the rightmost teleport. Follow the wet path to find another disk and go through it. You will find a frog and two teleports to the south. If you go through the rightmost one, you will go back to the three-teleport area. So go through the leftmost teleport and talk to the owl-man, he will give you some items. Go southwest to find two teleports. The leftmost one will take you to the three-teleport area, so take the rightmost one, and you will appear at the other side. Talk to the frog-man, choose the second option twice, and he will get out of your way. Open the chest to find a green potion, this one revives fainted allies, but it's not as powerful as the red potion. Go through the teleport, and save. Notice we're now at the other side of the area we first visited. Talk to the frog-man, go through the last teleport, and go up the stairs. Talk to this frog-man, choose any option and...battle! Check the enemies' section for tips. After the battle, the frog will give you the first mirror piece!! Get out of this area and you will find Yakko. Talk to him if you want, and push the barrel to the right to return. Get out of this place, and return to your house. Talk to Seravi and choose the second option. You completed Chapter 3! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 6.4 Chapter 4 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Cha Cha and Riiya have finished their meals, when Shiine comes. While they're talking, a lady appears! She casts some kind of spell, and takes Shiine and Riiya away!!! You gain control of Cha Cha. Get the cookies, and look outside the window. What happened?? Get out of this place to find out it's snowing. Go to the main area to find Seravi and Dorothy frozen! Go to the southern house and check the barrel to find some food. Go out. Notice how all paths are blocked by snowmen, except the northwestern one. Go through this path and enter the cave you couldn't enter before. Open the chest to find a green potion, talk to the kid if you want, and exit the cave through the other way. More snow! Pick up the rice from the chest and talk to the penguin. You are transformed into a penguin too! The commands are the same, so don't worry. You can even go faster by pressing the B button. This place looks familiar, doesn't it? We first visited this place in Chapter 2, when we picked up some food. Now you are in the bottom floor. Below the hill is another chest, it contains a blue potion (those penguin houses are so cute =P). Go southeast to find some stairs and a manhole, go through it to find a teleporting pad, step in it to appear at the other world's highlands. Open the chest to claim the Ice Hammer! Return to the penguin area, and go north a little to find a pathway that leads to a blocked entrance. What can you do? Well, push the uppermost sign to the left so you can enter the cave. Talk to the penguin and choose the first option to continue and exit through the other way. Wow, an ice palace! Don't go in yet, instead, go south to find a hole. Enter the hole and go through the teleport. Go north to talk to the owl-man, he will give you 10 of those MP-restoring cookies. Go back, save if you want, and enter the palace. Go up a little to see the lion that was guarding a tree (is he the same?) and the lady that kidnapped Shiine and Riiya! Talk to her, choose either option. She will cast some spell, hit Cha Cha and get her out of the way. The lion will restore Cha Cha into her original form. Go through the right door to find Riiya and Shiine, and talk to the lady, she will slap you again! (she's really bad!). Go out of this room, and enter the other door. You will find this woman "chained" the lion. Talk to him, choose either option, then choose the first option. Go to the other room, Riiya will start following you (but won't turn into a wolf if you press B). Open the chests to find some food and a key (presumably). Go back to the other part of the room, and talk to the lion, you will free him. Choose any option (I think he only gives you advice). Go back (again) to the other room, and talk to Shiine. Choose the second option, and she will start following you (she can use the broom). Before you talk to Riiya, get out of the palace and save. Now go back, talk to Riiya, choose the second option. Go to the main room of the palace, and another battle begins! Check the enemies' section for tips on how to defeat the lady. The woman will give you the second mirror piece! Two more to go! Go back to the penguin area, and from here, go back to the main area. Riiya will get astonished by the ice, and will turn into a wolf. Don't worry. Notice everyone is defrosted, so go to your house and Dorothy will be warming up at the fireplace. Talk to Seravi and choose the second option to end this chapter. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 6.5 Chapter 5 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Riiya, Cha Cha and Seravi are having dinner, when Shiine appears. Pick up the cookies and leave the house. In the main area, pick up the food from the house that's next to the scientists' house. Now, enter this weird gray building and talk to the scientist here. He won't get out of his way, though. So, visit the school, and you will see is covered in thorns! Approach the door, but you can't enter either. So, go back to the scientists' place, and talk to the man again. Choose the first option twice to go down the elevator. There are a lot of chests in this place. Open the three accessible ones to find really nice food. Go down the stairs and through the door to find the owl-man, talk to him and he will give you some items. Go up the stairs and talk to the scientist here. He won't get out of his way, either. What can you do? Easy, go talk to Seravi. Go to your house, and talk to him, choose either option. Go back to the structure. The scientist will get out of the way, so go down the stairs, only to find another scientist blocking your path. He will ask (in English) if you know Marin. Choose the first option, and go to the school. Marin is the pink-haired girl, talk to her and choose the second option, she will give you something. Go back again to the structure. Talk to the path-blocking scientist and continue. Go right after you go down the stairs, open the chest to find a blue potion, and check the leftmost trash can, just in case (choose either option). Go down to find a scientist blocking a door, talk to him if you want. Keep going down to find a pink bird and another scientist, save if you want. Talk to this scientist, choose the first option. Go talk to the other scientist, choose the second option and go in. There are five diskettes here, pick the northeastern one and leave this room. Give this diskette to the other scientist, and he will get out of your way. Before you enter, save. Now enter this room, and talk to the guy there, choose any option and a new battle starts!! Check the appropriate section for strategies. You are given the third mirror piece!! The man gives you something, and you regain control. Get out of this place, and go to your house. Give Seravi the third mirror piece, and choose the second option. Congratulations, you have ended Chapter 5. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 6.6 Chapter 6 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Cha Cha, Riiya, Shiine and Seravi have finished dinner, when Dorothy comes, then another little girl appears (she was at the school). She will keep coming back and forth, until you choose the second option. You will automatically get out of the house. Go back into the house, and pick up the restoring item. Remember to pick up the food at the southern house! Now head towards the school. Talk to the purple-haired girl, and choose the second option. Now approach the door, and all thorns will be gone. Enter the school, if you explore the classrooms, there will be dark versions of certain characters (are those the teachers?). Save, then enter the rightmost door to find the dark version of the big-eyed woman. She will make you sit and dark versions of your party appear! Choose any option. Time to battle! Check the enemies' section for the strategy, this battle is hard! After the battle, the big-eyed woman will give you the fourth and final piece of the mirror. After you gain control of Cha Cha, go through the northern door to find four chests. They contain three potions (green, blue and red), and the Fire Hammer!! Now go back to your house, and give the mirror piece to Seravi. She will fix the mirror, and the paw will appear again!! But you can't enter yet...so choose the second option to end this Chapter. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 6.7 Chapter 7 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ IMO this is the best Chapter in the game, because it's very long and exciting. Everyone's in the bedroom, choose any option, and go get the MP-restoring food. You can't go out, but who would want to get out if you can visit a new world? So approach the mirror, and you will appear at the palace. Choose any option, and save if you want. You can go talk to the blue creature on the right so he gives you something (don't know what it is). Now go out. Remember the cave with the empty chest? Well, go to this place again, and enter the left cave, the chest has a blue potion. Now go to the blocked tree area. Talk to the lion, choose any answer, and he won't get out. So, talk to the three "maiden", they are: Red lady : In the same place as the lion. Blue lady : In the main area, head to the northeastern house, she's there. Notice the red creature. Green lady: In the main area, she's watching the no-entrance house. Now, go talk to the lion again, and he will let you in. Open the chest to find some food. Check it again to find a green potion. The chest on the right has more food and a blue potion. Go out of the cave via the right exit, and you will appear in a village. A squirrel-woman will notice you and another one will approach you, choose any option, and save if you want. You can't explore the village yet, so go talk to the green squirrel-woman. Choose any option, then choose the second option. Now enter the house, and something really weird will happen. This is a little game in which you gotta find the right squirrel-woman. It's the one that's dressed the same way the green the squirrel at the door is. After you find her, everyone will left the room, choose any option, and leave. You can now explore the squirrel area! You can't do much in the village, but notice all those creatures, similar to the red one in the main area's house. Look at that house that's surrounded by squirrel-women, it seems something's happening at that house. Talk to all the squirrel-women surrounding this house, as well as the ones south of this area. Finally, talk to the one that's guarding the path, choose the first option twice, and follow the path. You will see those statues again, and another tree. Enter the tree, and enter the cave. It seems like it's a throne. Go back and out. Three squirrel-women are waiting for you, as well as a green creature. The squirrels will take the green creature into the tree, then another squirrel-woman will try to enter, but two squirrel-women will throw her out. Go back to the village. Now approach the house you couldn't enter before (the one with the squirrels surrounding it). Choose the first option, and go in. Somebody has made a hole in the house! A squirrel-woman will enter the hole, so follow her and you will appear inside the tree. Enter the doorway, and after some talking, the monster will appear!! The green creature will use some green light to make the monster disappear. Now, you must bring this monster to the green lady. When you go back to the village, everyone will be following you (must be the creature that causes this craziness). Enter the controversial house again. (notice how the hole was covered with the bed =P). After some more talking, you can leave this house, and the village completely. If you talk to the creature, it will glow, and the music will change. Go back to the palace. Surprise, surprise! Enter the upper door to bring the creature back. Now go back to the main room. The blue lady will appear, and some terrorific music will play. Choose the first option, and go to the main area. Talk to the two ladies, and save if you want. The path to the right is blocked, so enter the upper-right house, and talk to the blue-dressed woman. Now go out, and follow the path to the right. There is this monster again! Enter this weird cave, and talk to the creature there. Enter and save. Now, a row of battles will start! Before talking to the creature, notice the number you're on. It's the number 5. And notice the creature's purple color. Now, remember the color of the creature and the number you're on. You have to do this on this and the following 4 rooms. Now talk to the creature, and a battle begins! For the following battles, check the enemies' section, it's the same strategy for all monsters. Each time you defeat a monster, the owl-man will heal you. After all these battles, go north to find the monsters you fought. Talk to the blue one twice, always choose the first option. Now you gotta move these monsters according to the number they were. So here's the order, in case you forgot (it doesn't matter where they are facing, it just matters they are IN the ponds): Left : Yellow Middle-left : Red Middle : Green Middle-right: White Right : Purple Talk to the blue creature again, and enter the doorway. Talk to the red creature, it will glow red, and will start following you. Go all the way out, and return to the main area. Enter the upper-right house. Surprise, surprise! Well, return to the main area. The monster will say good-bye to the girl. Now return to the palace. The queen will be surprised by the creature's coming, and will take it to the bedrooms. Follow the queen, she will thank you again, return to the main room. The blue lady will appear, choose any option, and save. Now, you must talk to as much people as possible in this world, including the lion and the "goddesses", and Shiine will say something. Time to return to our world! Go through the mirror. You can finally go out! Pick the food from our well-known house, and go to the school building. Go to the left to find the red statue is gone! Go through the manhole/paw, to find a chest containing the Thunder Hammer!! Great! Return to the main area, go south, and into the tent. Go through the paw to find this bird statue is also gone! Enter the cave. This is a puzzle of sorts. Save if you want, then go through the middle door, then the left one, then the right one, and follow the path to the exit. Talk to the owl-man, and he will give you some valuable items. Follow the path that leads to the blocked house (now no longer blocked). The girl will be very surprised for your accomplishment. Now enter the house... You will find out that this isn't a house at all...it's a desert! Enter the light-blue tent, and talk to the girl, then leave. Fortunately, this isn't a big desert. Go north to find a palace, and enter. Approach to the throne, and the lady will salute you. Enter the rightmost door, and save if you want. First, enter the left door, talk to the creature, and leave. Enter the other door, talk to the creature (hmm, two creatures) and the light-blue girl. When you leave the room, Shiine will say something. You should save now. Now, approach the throne, and go through the left door. Talk to the guards here, chose the first option, then the third option. Rub the lamp twice to fight the genie! (funny music). Check the enemies' section for tips. After the battle, go back to the throne, and approach the lady. One woman will leave the room, follow her. Hmm, which creature is the real one...of course the one to the right! So enter the right room, and talk to the creature, it will glow, and will start following you. So, leave the palace, and the desert. The blue lady will teleport next to you, then you will get out of the path. Go to the palace...surprise, surprise! The three creatures will glow. Go through the mirror, talk to Seravi and choose the second option...Chapter 7 has ended. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 6.8 Chapter 8 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Wow, we're getting to the end of this story. Cha Cha, Riiya, Shiine, the three ladies, the queen and the three creatures are in the main room of the palace. The three creatures will combine into a silver creature, then he will leave, the four ladies following him. Follow them too, and go to the throne room. Now approach the throne, after some talking, the creature will leave the room, and some terrorific music will play. The queen will leave the room too. Again, follow them. Talk to the blue creatures when you run into them. Return to the main room. The three ladies are now three blobs! The ugly monster will hit the queen, and disappear, among with the silver creature. Then the queen will leave the palace, Riiya following her. Follow them too! When you are outside the palace, you will find a thoughtful queen, and three women surrounding her. Talk to the queen, and go through the right path. What happened to Riiya!? You must get him out! So, return to the main area, and enter the southwestern house. There are three monsters and a penguin. Talk to the penguin, and he will leave the room. Follow him to the right path. The penguin has rescued Riiya! Talk to the penguin, then he will leave, and Shiine will take Riiya to the palace. Follow Shiine to the palace. Before entering the bedroom, save. Now, when you enter to this room, Shiine will start following you, talk to Riiya, and leave the room. Now, everyone's having an argument, and the creature will hit the queen twice, then Riiya will appear. The queen and the creature are having a fierce fight, when Riiya turns back to normal, and the creature will turn into some kind of prince, time for a battle! Remember to check the appropriate section. After the battle, the prince will turn into the ugly monster. He will cast some kind of spell, and disappear. Now the queen will go out, follow her and talk to her. Now, check what happened...everyone's a gray blob! Go through the upper-right path, and enter the cave. Go through the middle doorway, and you will find the goddess is also a blob. Open the chest to recover your HP and MP completely. Now go back to the palace, save if you want, and go through the mirror. Seravi and Dorothy will appear, and tell you something. Go pick up the MP-restoring item, and go out. Enter the main area. Here, talk to as many people as possible to get a lot of items. Main Area : 5 people School area : 3 people (7 items) Inside school : 3 people (5 items) Frog area : 1 frog-man X-pond area : 1 person Upper-left house : 1 person Southern house : 2 people (first check the barrel for 10 food dishes!!) Lower-right house : 2 people (the boy won't give you anything) Upper-right house : 1 person Scientists' tent : 6 people (8 items) Your house : Dorothy (3 items) 46 items! Also, in the school area, the blue statue is gone! So go through the hole and the teleport and level up by opening the chest. What's left for you to do? Well, remember in Chapter 1, we saw a blue bird statue in the sewers? Now go back there and teleport to the other world. You will appear at some sort of palace. Enter. Save, and go through the left doorway. Continue along the path, then enter the next series of rooms, until you automatically teleport to the silver creature. The ugly monster will appear, and the silver creature will glow. You will be teleported to the palace. The queen will appear, then the monster will appear. The queen, the creature and the monster will fight, and the queen will be hurt. Finally, the creature and the monster will disappear. Riiya will suggest they may be in the throne room. Go to this room, the blue creatures will give you a heart. Continue to the throne room, the fight is still on. Then the creature gets apart, and your final battle starts! Check the enemies' section for tips. This monster has lost a lot of weight! He will slowly leave the room. The creature will glow, and you will be teleported to the main room. The creature's power has restores the three ladies! Finally, he will be gone. Exit the palace, and the creature will restore the ladies. If you enter the northeastern house, there will be a new red creature. Go to the number monster's place, the creature will restore all of them. Return to the palace, and the queen will block the mirror (choose the first option). Pay a last visit to the throne room, the silver creature will be there, and will start following you. Go back to the main room, and talk to the queen. Choose the second option, and go back to your house. Something really emotive will happen: first, a white glow, then a green, red and blue glow, and a final white glow. Then the paw will disappear, and you can no longer visit the palace. Talk to Seravi and choose the second option. The game is over! Congratulations!!! ============================================================================== 7.

Enemies ============================================================================== Battle 1: This one's really easy. Turn Cha Cha into Princess Holy-Up, and have Shiine use the attack and speed booster spells into Riiya, who should attack as a wolf. Use the bow spell, it does 40 HP of damage, and you can use it twice. When she runs out of magic, use the hammer. Shiine should also use the hammer. Battle 2: The frog's not as easy as the guy we first battled. He will use a speed-raiser spell, so when it's Shiine's turn, use Dispel to negate the speed boost. Turn Cha Cha into the princess, this way she can use the more powerful spells, but don't use the medallion immediately, as the frog will use a magic-defender spell. Riiya should use physical attacks and items when necessary. You will also want Holy-Up's speed raised, and Riiya's attack boosted. Don't fear using items. Keep attacking until the frog is defeated. Battle 3: This battle isn't really as hard as it looks. She will use a magic blocking spell, which will force you to use physical attacks. So, have Shiine use the attack booster spell on all three characters, and attack with your new Ice Hammer. You may also want to use the speed booster spell on Riiya. The Ice lady will use...ice spells to attack, so be prepared to heal, preferably with Cha Cha's little cross spell. Keep attacking, and healing when necessary, until this ***** is defeated. Battle 4: Wow, 3 vs. 3! This is where Holy-Up's sword spell shines. But again, don't turn Cha Cha into the princess ASAP. Wait for 1 or 2 turns. Have Riiya and Shiine use physical attacks and stat-boosting spells, respectively. You should boost speed on Holy-Up, and attack on both Riiya and Shiine. Sometimes, they will boost defense or protect themselves, so beware. Just keep attacking. Remember Cha Cha has spells that attack all enemies. Use items and healing spells when necessary. This isn't a very hard battle Battle 5: This is one hard battle, easily the hardest. Dark Shiine will boost Dark Riiya's speed, and Dark Cha Cha will use the bomb spell lv.1. Dark Shiine will usually attack with Elemental spells or guarding spells, Dark Riiya will physically attack all the time, and Dark Cha Cha will constantly use lv. 1 spells to attack all of your party. Use the sleeping spell in Dark Riiya or Dark Shiine (I prefer Dark Shiine, because she has those protecting spells, but Dark Riiya will be constantly attacking, so it's up to you). Attack the other one until she/he dies. Be prepared to use a lot of items (feel free to use the food that restores all allies' HP, it appears every Chapter) and Revive spells. After Dark Riiya or Dark Shiine is defeated, you can safely morph into Holy-Up, and use the big shield spell, which will give you some strong defense. Keep using the sword spell and MP-restoring items until all enemies are defeated. Battles 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10: No real strategy here, just use the Fire hammer, these monsters have high magic resistance. An exception is Holy-up's bow and sword spells, they do nice damage. This monster, when it's low on HP, will use recovering spells, so don't stop attacking. What I like to do is boosting speed on both Riiya and Cha Cha and boost attack on Riiya. Very easy battles. Battle 11: This genie's really easy...like those monsters we fought earlier. She has a huge defense, but only average magic resistance. So, morph into Holy-Up, and use the bow and sword spells, they do nice damage. Have her speed raised. Shiine should attack with magic, while Riiya will only hit hard if it's a critical hit. Keep attacking until she's defeated. Battle 12: Be careful this time, the prince has exceptional magic resistance, and even Holy-Up's sword spell will only do 30 of damage. Still, you may want to use the shield spell on Riiya, as well as the speed and attack boosters. He may use a speed booster spell, so be prepared to dispel him. Keep attacking with the Thunder Hammer until he's defeated (heal when needed). Battle 13: Your final battle! This monster is very quick, and will not hesitate to use the lv. 2 spells. As always, Riiya should attack as a wolf. Remember that Holy-Up has higher magic resistance, and has the shield spell. Raise Holy-Up's speed, and Riiya's speed and attack. Don't hesitate to use items, this is your last battle! Also, always use the sword spell, the bow spell isn't very damaging. Boost Shiine's speed too if possible. Eventually, Shiine and Riiya will be defeated, so it turns a Holy-Up Vs. Monster battle. Keep using potions and strong spells until the monster is finally defeated. Medium-to-hard battle (the clone one is much harder). ============================================================================== 11. Hints/Strategies/Secrets ============================================================================== -Take the most advantage from your characters' stats. Riiya has the highest attack, while Cha Cha has the highest magic power. Holy-Up has the highest magic resistance -It helps if before your attack (hammer or normal) you press A. It may even become a Critical Hit. -Don't fear using items, there aren't many battles in this game. -If you're stuck in the game, try talking to everyone, choosing every option. -Remember, there are no elemental weaknesses in the game. -The cookies in your house's armoire renew every Chapter. -Same with the food dish in the main area's southern house. -The stat boosters and the protecting spells are incredibly useful. -After answering the quiz, you can take it again (20 questions) to gain items. ============================================================================== 12.
