| Hello dear readers, and welcome again to yet another faq for one of |
| my all time favorite titles. Since I played the game in the |
| Playstation many years back, VP never lost its magic and the |
| excitement in playing the game is still there. I am sure other VP |
| fans will agree as well. |
| |
| I have two versions of this faq; one is an illustrated PDF guide*, |
| complete with screenshots and the second is the one you have right |
| now, this is for most readers that needs instant help. |
| |
| This is a guide while playing in HARD mode. If you just grabbed the |
| game and a new player in VP, I suggest playing in NORMAL or EASY |
| modes. Aside from that, I will be both covering endings A & B in |
| this guide. Only some dungeons are changed in Hard Mode. You can |
| still use this guide when playing Normal mode but you need to |
| traverse the dungeons not found in this faq by yourself. |
| SPOILERS will be avoided from this guide, unlike the PDF version |
| (it can't be avoided.) |
| |
| Any feedback from you guys is very much appreciated. If you have |
| corrections or suggestions tell me so; remember that I am doing this|
| for FREE and I am investing my time and effort to make this guide as|
| helpful as possible. |
| |
| I can’t assure you that I can answer all your questions, but in the |
| best of my ability I will. Thank you for grabbing this faq and |
| enjoy. |

- About the Game – Overview ------------------------------------- \\ABT001
Ragnarok, or the end of the world is coming near. The war between
the Gods and the forces of darkness is at its peak. Your mission
as a Valkyrie on Midgard is to recruit chosen souls of slain
warriors and mages, to fight against the dark legions. There are
8 chapters in the story, with 24 periods each (most chapters have
28 periods in hard mode). At the end of each chapter, Freya will
evaluate your performance. Also note that the more satisfied Freya
is, the more Materialize points you’ll get and the better items
you’ll be awarded. This can be done by sending Einherjars that
meets the minimum requirements as requested by Freya.
There are no shops here like a traditional RPG or the need to
visit each town. Everything you do consume periods; Spirit
Concentration, visiting dungeons, visiting towns (recruiting
characters) Since time is limited, exploring is limited as well.
Items must be purchased in the world map or in save points.
The currency in the game is called MP (Materialize Points) which
is awarded by Freya during Sacred Phases. These are also limited
as well; though there are handy Convert to MP option in the Items
Menu, you may find yourself in trouble if just buy items/equipment
without thinking.
- About the Game – Einjerhars -----------------------------------\\ ABT002
Einjerhars are the chosen souls of fallen mortals to fight alongside
with the gods. Recruiting these would-be heroes for the impending
battle is your main goal. Each of the characters you will be getting
have their own stories; which are not related to the main plot. For
some, these can be considered as sidequests. But in the game, it is
a requirement.
You can send up to two Einjerhars each chapter. You need to make sure
that they have the necessary hero value and other skills/ traits as
well. In this guide you will find Freya’s requirements each chapter.
+++ HERO VALUE AND TRAITS +++
Hero value determines an Einjerhar’s character. Most of them start
with negative values, which can be increased by leveling them up (+2
Hero Value/ Level). Aside from that, players can also increase their
Einjerhars’ hero value by allotting Capacity Points (CP) to positive
traits of the character.
.-------------------------------------------------------------------.
| TIP: Characters with too many negative traits and very low Hero |
| Value? No worries, equip them with an accessory called Amber of |
| Happiness. This is available in the very start of the game and can|
| be equipped in any of the last three POS equipment slots. |
| |
| Now, try putting CP on those negative traits, watch their Hero |
| Value skyrocket! |
'-------------------------------------------------------------------'
Freya sometimes requires traits that are not listed in the Traits menu
of the character. Some of these are being a ‘Negotiator’, ‘Can Swim’,
‘Brave’. In these cases, you need to equip the character you’ll send
with specific accessories that will give them those abilities. In this
case, a Negotiator needs to have Angel’s Lips equipped, Pearl of
Karula will enable a character to swim and to be Brave, the Flame
Bandanna is needed.
If you want to conserve much valued CP, you just buy tomes when Freya
requires a character with Demon/ Monster/ Undead Knowledge. These
traits can be acquired by leveling them as status skills.
+++ TRAINING EINHERJARS +++
As mentioned in the topic above, characters gain +2 hero value for
each level up they get. So five levels (+10 Hero Value) is really a
great help if you want to meet the required hero value without
maximizing/ investing CP to the characters’ traits.
In normal mode, the characters’ levels are fixed when you get them.
This means their CP is at full when you get them (999 pts), most of
it are excised/ wasted. In hard mode however, all characters starts at
level 1, which means you can maximize their growth.
There are two important accessories you should consider when leveling
up your characters are the Emerald Necklace (+100 CP after level up)
and the Bracelet of Zoe (+300HP after level up). These two are
invaluable. Both of these can be acquired as early as Chapter 2 or 3.
Acquired event experiences when exploring dungeons and opening
artifacts are stored in what the game calls an ‘EXP Orb’. This option
can be accessed from the Party menu. Collected event experiences here
can be distributed to your low level characters.
+++ SENDING EINHERJARS +++
Sending Einherjars will permanently take them off from your party.
However, you may need to change party members often if you want to
maximize their skills and train them. Also, your characters can also
‘die’ once sent to Asgard. This happens if you sent them with no/
inadequate equipment, very few skills and at a very low level. You
need to be very careful when sending somebody. When you send heroes
exceeding Freya’s minimum requirements (or sending two each chapter)
expect really great items from Odin. This is good if you are just
playing the game as is; for those who want Ending A, they may need to
consider this.
Sending heroes to Asgard also increases Valkyrie’s Seal Value. This is
really important to take note if you are aiming to get the A ending.
(Best Ending). Details how to get there will be discussed in the main
walkthrough. Also, getting the path to Ending A will complete your
movie gallery.
- About the Game – Combat ----------------------------------------\\ABT003
Valkyrie profile introduces a unique battle system. Each party member
is assigned to a button. Depending on the equipped weapon, characters
can attack up to three times, where each attack adds energy to the
combo gauge below the battle screen
Not only that; when the combo gauge reaches 100%, attacking characters
will get the chance to perform a special attack. Each character has
their own special attacks. Freya and Valkyrie calls their special
attacks “Divine Assault”, other warriors call theirs “Finishing Strike”
for the mages, its either a “Great Magic” or the chants for a
powerful version of their spell.
Each special attack adds a certain amount of energy in the combo gauge;
you can link up to four special arts to inflict devastating damage to
an enemy, so long as the gauge reaches 100% after each special attack.
After performing special attacks and spells, your characters will have
what the game calls as ‘Charge Time’ (CT). There is the number of turns
needed before the character/ mage can use special attacks or cast
spells respectively.
.---------------------------------------------------------------------.
| TIP: In tight boss battles, reducing the CT is very, very important.|
| These can be done by either using a consumable called ‘Charge Break’|
| (Reduces CT at a cost of some DME) or attack the target while it |
| lays flat in the ground to drop CT orbs. Equipping your characters |
| With Fairy Rings, Fairy Earrings, Haste Ring and Haste Earrings will|
| reduce CT significantly every turn. |
'---------------------------------------------------------------------'
Experience Crystals can be dropped by enemies when you perform a combo
while they are in mid-air. Treasure chests can be dropped by enemies
when attacked either in mid-air or while on the ground. But the most
effective way of forcing them to drop is by landing heavy blows after
the basic combo.
- About the Game – Skills -----------------------------------------\\ABT004
There are four types of skills. Remember that fighters, archers and
mages may have different Skills under certain categories.
A. Reaction Skills (e.g First Aid, Cure Condition, Guts)
------------------
Reaction skills are triggered by certain situations. For example, Cure
Condition is automatically triggered when a party member is inflicted
with a negative status. Depending on the skill level, the success rate
of curing an abnormal status is higher, not to mention that more
status abnormalities can be cured as well.
B. Support Skills (e.g Splash, Combo Counter, Reverie)
-----------------
Support skills, obviously provides additional effects to attacks.
C. Attack Skills (e.g Wait Reaction, Slanting Rain, Charge)
-----------------
Attack skills enhance the character’s offensive capabilities. They can
be considered as offensive support skills.
D. Status Skills (e.g. Fight, Survival, Attack Power)
-----------------
These are the skills you will be leveling up often. They increase the
status of your characters permanently. This is very crucial specially
when you are planning to train a low-level character.
The required CP increases when the skills also increase in level. LV8
is the maximum level. Also note that Reaction, Support and Attack
Skills must be SET UP before they are activated. Status skills are
automatically activated once you allot CP in them.
Skills can also be used to allow all characters learn additional
skills.
- About the Game – Items and Equipment ---------------------------\\ABT005
Equipments and weapons are essential to survive VP’s hostile world.
Learning equipment attributes will allow you to choose the best
without wasting too much MP.
WEAPONS
-------
1. Attack = Attack value of the weapon
2. 1_X/O = Determines the number of attacks the weapon has.
The numbers indicates the type of attack(s) the
equipped character can perform. (Check their
Ability list)
3. Attack Thrust = Determines the consistency of damage dealt to the
opponent. A weapon with a low attack thrust deals
random damage (including 1 or 0)
4. Hit Thrust = Determines the capability of the weapon to guard
crush enemies. Also determines the hit rate.
5a. <elemental> / Death = any enemies weak to the specified element
will be killed instantly.
5b. <elemental> / DMG+X% = deals additional damage to enemies weak to
the weapon’s element
BODY ARMORS
-----------
1. Reduce Damage = Defense Rating of the Armor/ Helm/ Greaves or Guard
2. Defend Thrust = Also considered as the block rate of equipment.
Guards have high defend thrusts.
3. Special effects = <element>/ DMG-50% = Reduces damage dealt from the
specific element.
+++ BREAKABLE WEAPONS/ ITEMS +++
Some weapons have a chance of breaking. These weapons are usually
powerful than the unbreakable ones. Once broken, they are lost
forever to be careful when using them.
All ‘Slayer’ weapons are breakable. They deal massive damage to
specific enemies. USE THEM ONLY DURING BOSS BATTLES and when the
situation calls forth. (E.g Dragon Zombies, Dragon Warrior and
Manticores blocking the way) They are very rare so avoid using them
as normal weapons. These weapons will save your life.
Element and Ether scepters allow your mages to perform devastating
great magics, however they have a high break rate. If you’re having
problems defeating a boss, you can equip this.
Items such as Angel Curio and other Charms break after being activated.
+++ TRANSMUTATION +++
Transmuting is basically converting an item to another one. Spellbooks
can be transmuted to another spell. (example: Fire Storm = Fire Lance,
Heal = Normalize). These can be done with Skill Books as well. Valkyrie
starts with Transmutation Level 1. As it levels up, better items can be
transmuted. Her transmutation level can be raised up to LV3 – max.
Transmutation levels only increase when equipping either a Creation Gem
or Creation Jewel.
.--------------------------------------------------------------------.
| TIP: Transmute Golden Eggs or the Holy Grail (!) to a Bracelet of |
| Zoe. Note that equipping two BoZ’s will not increase the HP by 600 |
| after leveling up. |
'--------------------------------------------------------------------'
+++ CONVERTING ITEMS TO MP +++
When short in MP and you still need to buy something important, you
can convert some items in your inventory to MP. Note that artifacts
have the highest converted cost.

This dungeon is straightforward and basically your starting point. Freya
will give you instructions along the way. Here you can familiarize
yourself with the controls and the overall system.
- Continue to the right, past the first route to the rear. Enter the
2nd room to the rear. Get item (1).
- Continue to the right, upstairs. Continue left again, then enter the
room to the rear. Find item (2).
- Backtrack to the first room to the rear that you passed a while ago.
Examine the iron gate. After it opens, head downstairs.
.--------------------------------------------------------------------.
| Here you will need to practice your jumping and crystal shooting |
| skills. Remember that you can do a lot of things with your crystals |
| so feel free to experiment with them. |
'-------------------------------------------------------------------'
- Take note of Freya's tutorials. After grabbing the items (3), head to
the bottom right. Exit to the next screen.
- Slash the pillar here to unblock the path above. You will gain 500
event experience. Now head to the down to the lower left of the map
and find a path leading to the front.
- Head to the left, then take the path to the rear. In this room, beware
of two enemies that will fall from the left. Defeat them and create
crystal footholds until you reach the top of this towering room. YOu
should find chests (5)
- Exit the room, then go to the right this time. YOu should find a large
room with spikes at the bottom, and a floating platform. Defeat the
enemy first then ride the platform.
In order to reach the item in the upper ledge, create a full crystal
(shoot two crystals in the same place) and as you pass by, shoot it
again to create a shimmering foothold. Jump on it and grab the item.
Be careful though, it is rigged with a large explosive.
You may need to do this more than once in order to get the item. It is
a good weapon early on. (6) After getting it, continue to the right.
- Enter the room to the rear to find a couple of items(7). Backtrack
to the main room.
- Make your way to the top right and enter the next screen. Grab item
(4) and continue further to the right. Here you will find two chests.
The green chest contains a very invaluable item, the Treasure search.
The item of interest here is the Treasure Search. By normal means you
won’t be able to reach the other side easily. You just need to position
the chest near the ledge and put some crystals in it to extend your
footholds. Remember that the chest has an explosive trap and you may
need to do the same process again to obtain the treasure.
Equip it immediately upong getting it. Go downstairs.
- In this room, you need climb to the rightmost part. You should find an
opening there to the next screen. Go there and grab item(9).
- Exit then make your way to the top right screen. Save at the savepoint
and prepare for the boss battle.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
BOSS: Elder Vampire HP: 4800
Dragon Servant x2 HP: 500/ each
Exp: 1000
Strategy:
Freya will not join you in this battle; instead, she will
lend you the Reiter Pallasch sword. This sword will enable Valkyrie to
attack three times. It is just enough for you to complete a combo.
At the start of the battle, all of your party members will have one
CT each, which means you won’t be able to perform any special attacks
for the first turn. Also, the Dragon Servants in the front can guard
combos, so break their guards by attacking all at the same time or
wait for Jelanda’s magic attack to hit before performing a combo.
Since Valkyrie can attack thrice, time your attacks so that it will all
hit and you reach 100% in your combo gauge. Don’t use it on the Dragon
Servants though. Save it for the Elder Vampire. Once you defeated all
the Dragon Servants, take your chance to pour all your special attacks
to the main enemy. This guy should be down in no time.
Artifacts:
Jeweled Blade “Grimrist” = 100 Event Exp
Sealed Box = 100 Event Exp
Obtain 3000 exp after opening all artifacts.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
After the battle, make your way to the exit. Freya will leave the party,
and she will leave you with a fairy where you can ask your questions.
When ready, exit the dungeon to start the real chapters.

CHAPTER 1
.---------------------------------------------------------------------.
| NOTE: You can visit dungeons or recruit characters in any order you |
| like. Spiritual Concentration consumes 2 periods, but REMEMBER that |
| when you do a SC and Valkyrie didn’t detect any new dungeons or |
| Characters, no periods will be deducted. So, it is alright to do all|
| the spiritual concentrations as you start the chapter. (As long as |
| you can remember the places) |
| |
| Also if you’re after Ending A (Best Ending) do not visit Weeping |
| Lily Meadow and Gerabellum yet. Keep that in mind. |
| |
| If you ever acquire “Broken” items (e.g. Broken Blade, Armor, Sword)|
| Do not transmute or sell them. Save them for later. You will thank |
| yourself later on by doing so. |

1. Attack Power
2. Short Bow
3. Avoid
4. Fire Lance
5. Broad Sword, Eye of Heaven
6. Element Scepter
7. Magic Power, Frigid Damsel
The only and simple puzzle in the dungeon you need to solve is all
about destroying statues and moving stone slabs. You will find them in
pairs. Just destroy the statue and move the slabs to the statues’
position. You will gain 1000 event experience for each.
- From your starting position, jump to the hole. Immdiately find item
(1). Defeat the Dragon Servant blocking the way and head left.
- Grab item (2) from the ledge and continue to the next screen
- Enter first room up. Destroy the guardian statue and move the huge
stone slab there. Exit the room after that.
- Head to the next screen to the left. Now, enter the room in the under
the ledge. Do the same thing as well. Exit, then on the main room,
grab the item in the leftmost part of the ledge. Slide under to reach
the next room to the front.
- There should be another statue and slab here. Just do the same thing
and go the next screen to the right. Grab the item (4) and make your
way to the top right, and yet another path to the front.
- In this room, you should see the last statue. Destroy it to open the
large iron door and 10000 event experience. Grab the items (5) in
both ledges and continue right to the next screen.
Clear the enemies in the area, grab the item (6) in the far right and
save. Equip Valkyrie with a bow, or the shortbow you have acquired earlier.
If you have trained Llewelyn, this could make the battle a lot easier. If
not, it is just fine as well.
Enter the door to the rear. You will be engaged in a boss battle.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
BOSS:
Drow Shaman HP: 1000 each Ramaphiticus HP: 4000
Weakness: None Weakness: None
Exp: 350 Exp: 2660
Strategy:
There will be two Drow Shamans in the rear and a tough Ramaphiticus
guarding the front. These Shamans can annoyingly eat up your DMEs
with those long range, damaging magic attacks.
With Valkyrie equipped with a bow and another archer in the party,
you can get rid of the Drow Shamans in the rear. Just concentrate
your attacks on them, including Jelanda’s magic. Once the Drow
Shamans are gone, then the ape is dead meat.
Artifacts:
Emerald Necklace* = 600 exp
Secret of Damascus = 600 exp
Crown of Felmar = 600 exp
Obtain 10000 exp after opening all artifacts.
You MUST take this artifact. Ignore the other two since they seem to be
pretty useless.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
.---------------------------------------------------------------------.
| You decide which artifacts you want to keep or not. I will just |
| suggest the artifacts worth keeping. |
'---------------------------------------------------------------------'
Before you exit, grab the chests in those two pillars. They contain Magic
Pow and Frigid Damsel, respectively. Exit the dungeon by climbing the
ladder to the left.
Now you can do whatever you want. As mentioned earlier, you can try
entering the Cave of Oblivion. All the other extra stuff are also
included in the introduction of this chapter, like getting the Dragon
Slayer from Arngrim's house etc. Just don’t forget to send Belenus or
Llewelyn or both of them to Asgard before entering the Sacred Phase with
Freya. Once all the periods are spent, you will enter the Sacred Phase.
.---------------------------------------------------------------------.
| SACRED PHASE 1-2 |
| |
| Sacred phases vary on how well you did during the last chapter. I |
| will just mention the requirements as Freya requested. |
| |
| Hero Value: 50 / Warrior |

Chapter 2 - SALERNO ACADEMY ':------------------------------:'WLK003 |
---------------------------/' '\------'
This is one of the dungeons exclusive only in Hard Mode. The puzzle here
is intermediate and there are a few items only.
1. Slanting Rain
2. Eye of Heaven
3. Icicle Edge
4. Element Scepter
5. Flame Jewel (!!!)
- From the entrance, head to the room to the right. There will a save
point there. Save if you want. The journal containing the clues for
the puzzle is located here as well.
- To start off, go down for two screens, then left to find a large
room filled with large red flowers. Defeat the enemy there and jump
in the mud to obtain the we'll just call the 'red odor'
- Now go up for one screen, then right, then down again. Slash the
vine and get the item from the chest (1).
- Continue to the right, inside the room with the yellow capsule and
some enemies. Jump over the table and examine the capsule to obtain
some acid.
- Exit out from the room and go down. Before approaching the Red Vine
to the left, grab the Eye of Heaven in the far right of the screen
to the right.
- Approach the Red Vine. Since you have the 'red odor' on, it will die.
Use the acid on where the vine once was. Just press X over the
previous position of the vine. You will obtain 11000 worth of event
experience.
- Now enter the room to the left. The is filled with a cloud of 'yellow'
odor. Defeat the enemies if you want. Exit the room and take the route
up.
- Kill the Yellow Vine by walking past it and examine the human female
corpse to obtain 'blue odor'. Now run all the way back to the room
with the acid and get another vial of it.
- Exit the room and this time, go up. Approach the Blue Vine to kill it
and use some acid as well. Grab the item in the far right of the
path.
- Now go back to the room where the 'yellow odor' was. Backtrack past
the Blue Vine, then take the path up. Go past the Yellow Vine and
voila! You just finished this part of the puzzle.
.---------------------------------------------------------------------.
| TIP: During the vine killing process, try not to stray away too much|
| and enter different rooms/screens other than the paths in between |
| the vines. For some reason, some of them will grow back even if you |
| used acid on them already. (Especially the red vine) |
'---------------------------------------------------------------------'
- In this part of the path past the yellow vine, DO NOT TAKE THE PATH
DOWN. If you did, you will find yourself back in the area before the
Acid Room and you need to do the whole puzzle again.
- Enter the room to the left, past the Yellow Vine and defeat the
enemies to get the Element Scepter. Now exit, then head up.
- Enter the room to the left and grab the ++FLAME JEWEL++ from the
chest. Get the 'red odor' on you too. Head to the left this time.
- Do not walk past the fountain since it will just wash the odor off.
Instead, use the vines to climb to the roof and reach the other end
to the left.
- After reaching the other end of the vine, save and prepare for the
next boss battle.

BOSS: Harpy HP: 12000
Weakness: Fire/ Poison
Exp: 7000
Strategy:
At the start of the battle, Harpy will cast Reflect Sorcery to itself.
This will reflect all magic attacks to the caster. It will only stay up
for 3 turns so you can just have your mage provide support or heal. Harpy
has also high AVD rate which will enable her to evade most of the attacks
thrown at her. Equipping Valkyrie with a bow will make this battle easier.
Artifacts:
Holy Grail* = 1100 event exp
Faim Fenn = 1100 event exp
Tiara of the Holy Empress**= 1100 event exp
Obtain 30000 exp after opening all artifacts.
I suggest grabbing the Holy Grail and the Tiara. Both are useful
in the early part of the game.

- From your starting position, go left a bit and go to the path that
leads up.
- Continue to the rightmost side of the swamp and grab item (1). Go
left this time.
- Defeat enemies along the way and grab the item(2) above, hidden to
the right. Take the path up from the upper ground. Grab the item (3)
and exit.
- There are no items further left but if you want to cleat the map and
defeat the enemies for experience, then go there. Once done, backtrack
to your starting point and go to the left. Take the path down.
- Head to the left, then down again. Save at the save point, and
continue to the right. Take the first path leading down.
- Now there are four items(4) hidden in the mud. They are actually
grouped by pairs. After getting them, go back up and head to the
right. In the next screen, attack the rotten tree trunk. You will get
5000 event experience by doing so.
- Cross the swamp using the fallen tree as a bridge. Grab the item (5)
in the right side of the screen. Take the path up.
- Head to the left, just beware of two enemies that may surprise you.
Defeat them and get the hidden items (6) in the other side. Exit
and take the route down.

any of your warriors with a Dragon Slayer.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
BOSS:
Dragon Zombie HP: 13400
Weakness: Fire, Lightning, Holy
Exp: 4200
Strategy:
This boss is a giveaway battle if you have the Dragon Slayer. Just hit it
with magic first to open its guard and give it a slash or two from the
blade. Battle finished.
It is possible to defeat it without using the Dragon Slayer. Magic attacks
are most effective, but hey, that weapon is created for this purpose.
Why not use it, eh?
Artifacts:
Bark of the Dryad* = 1100 exp
Inscribed Fragment = 1100 exp
Obtain 20000 exp after opening all artifacts.
* You must take this artifact.This will prove very important in the later
chapter.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Now you still have a good number of periods left. Do whatever you want;
revisiting dungeons to earn extra exp and train the Einjerhars you will
send. Just make sure you have them equipped with just normal equipments.
Their starting equipment is just fine. Just make sure you leveled up their
required skills before sending them. Once ready, just spend all the periods
to initiate the Sacred Phase.

1. Bastard Sword (Guarded by Dragon Zombie)
2. Defend
3. Flare Baselard
4. Eye of Heaven, Sap Guard, Dragon Slayer (Guarded by Dragon Zombie)
5. Warhammer, Trick Step
This is a small dungeon but has you can take advantage of some
additional items and experience. Collect the items in the first
part of the dungeon as indicated in the map. (1-3) Note that this
dungeon can be found inside Camille Village, after getting Kashell.
- From the entrance, jump down and go to the right. Defeat the Dragon
Zombie and get the item. (1)
- Head to the left, and enter the first room leading up. Grab the
skill Defend(2) from the room. Exit out and continue to the right.
- Take the ladder up, just be careful with those freeze beams. Enter
the room (Defeat all the enemies for some exp boost) and grab the
item. (3)
- Take the path down (front) and continue to the far right. There is
a weird pillar that you cannot slash. Now create a crystal on the
floor, and make sure that the freeze beam will bounce to the pillar.
Just adjust it as necessary. Once frozen, slash it to destroy it.
You will gain 6000 event experience. Continue to the right.
- Jump down. Defeat the Dragon Zombie in the bottom left room to get
the goodies (4), including a new Dragon Slayer. Get the items also
in the bottom right(5). Backtrack up
- Now continue to the left and find the only path that leads down.
Here you need to do the same thing but you need to create three
crystals and place them strategically for the beam to reflect and
hit the pillar to the far left. Just create one or two crystals first,
observe the angle of the beam and take note of the positions. It may
take a few tries but it is quite easy if you adjust. Now slash the
frozen pillar to gain 6000 event exp.
- Continue to the next screen. Go downstairs and do the same. Defeat
the Dragon Zombie guarding the path and continue forth.
- The room to the left contains a save point so save if you want.
Continue to the right and find another pre-boss save point. Save and
make sure to equip any of your warriors with the DAEMON SLAYER.
(This is one of the hidden items in CH2: Nethov Swamp)
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
BOSS:
Greater Demon HP: 22000
Weakness: None
Exp: 9100
Strategy:
This boss is quite strong if you will fight it normally. Its attacks
are deadly and can chip away your character’s DME by large chunks. It
is weak against magic attacks but it has high AVD vs ordinary attacks.
It is always recommended to equip your mages with the ‘Wait Reaction’
skill to help you break the guard of the enemy.
Also, this boss is quite agile and can counter your attacks as well.
As long as you can break his guard and attack him while he is open,
then the better.
Anyways, one slash from the Demon Slayer is enough to get rid of this
demon once and for all.
Artifacts:
Golden Fowl* = 1600 exp
Grand Sting** = 1600 exp
Obtain 30000 exp after opening all artifacts.
* You must take this artifact.
** The Grand Sting is one of the legendary Great Swords. Not that it has
that much impact in the story but if you want to collect it and still
have a high evaluation, keep this artifact. It is also a powerful
weapon for either Arngrim or Kashell early on.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Chapter 3 - BRAHMS' CASTLE ':------------------------------:'WLK006 |
---------------------------/' '\------
1. Unicorn’s Horn (!!, Hidden), Moonflax
2. Normalize
3. Vegetable Seed
4. Burgundy Flask
5. Throw
6. Beast Slayer (!!)
7. Combo Counter, Nightshade
8. Flare Baselard
9. Heal
10. Savory, Stone Torch (hidden)
11. Warhammer, Lapis Lazuli, Mithril Ore
Once you enter the castle, the 4-minute timer will start. Remember that
opening the map, menu or engaging in a battle will freeze the time.
The items of interest here are the Unicorn’s Horn (#1) and the Beast
Slayer (#6). It is possible to navigate the whole area within the given
time. If the time runs out, the castle will ‘vanish’ and you will find
yourself in the world map again. You can always come back to the castle.
Below is the quick guide to get all the items.
- From the entrance, go up twice.
- Go left. Find items (1). The Unicorn Horn is hidden behind those
curtains.
- Continue to the right. Enter the room down and get item #2.
- Exit, continue further right, enter room down, get item #4
- exit, continue to the right, enter next room down. Get item #6.
- Go to the next screen to the right. Go upstairs to grab #7.
- Go back downstairs, and go down three times.
- Go to the right, save.
- exit to the left, continue, enter the first room up. Grab #9.
- exit, continue to the farthest left of the map, get # 8.
- backtrack and enter the path up, beside the room with item #9.
- enter the door to the left to get #3 and the room up beside it to get
#4. Continue upstairs.
- Continue to the left to find Dragontooth Warrior. Enter both the
rear (up) and front (down) rooms to get items # 10 & 11.
.--------------------------------------------------------------------.
| The possessed Dragon Warrior in the upper floor is quite powerful |
| and can take down your characters with one hit. Using a Dragon |
| Slayer against it will be very effective. Defeat it to gain a good |
| amount of exp, much like from a mini-boss like it. |
'--------------------------------------------------------------------'
- Head to the left and save.
Once you reach the save point and you still have time, wait until the
time runs out. Or, if you want to see what happens next, save in the
save point and go to Brahms’ throne.
DO NOT SAVE AFTER THIS.
If you still want to see the good ending. Wait until time runs out and
you will find yourself in the world map. YOu can now head to the next
dungeon if you still haven't cleared it yet.
-----------------------------\ /------,
Chapter 3 - CLOCKWORK MANSION ':----------------------------:'WLK007 |
-----------------------------/' '\------'
1. Guts, Adept Illusion
2. Eye of Heaven
This is a very small and straightforward yet the HARDEST dungeon
because of its puzzle. It is the most difficult and annoying puzzle in
the game. The incomplete part of the map in the center is the rotating
rooms. Without the proper directions, you won’t be able to finish this
dungeon. Fortunately, you won’t need to undergo the frustration I had.
Proceed to the starting point of the rotating room and receive a
scroll, which is technically the guide of the rotating room.
- From the starting point, go to the right. Continue past the room
with stairs and go further to room to the ight. Get item #2.
- Now exit out and fall down. Continue to the left and into the large
room and get items (1).
Climb up the ladder, go back to the first ladder and continue up to the
right. You will receive a scroll.
Follow this direction to get out of the rotating rooms.
.---------------------------------------------------------------------.
|Down–Right–Right–Right-Up-Left-Left-Up-Up-Right-Right-Down-Down-Right|
'---------------------------------------------------------------------'
.---------------------------------------------------------------------.
|NOTE: You need to follow the directions without any detours. Making a|
| mistake will complete lose your track (e.g. if you fell to the wrong|
| hole) and you need to start from the beginning. In that case, you |
| need to wait for a floating mask and jump towards it. It will warp |
| you back to the starting point. |
'---------------------------------------------------------------------'
After solving the puzzle, you’ll get 20000 event experience. Just run
towards the save point and save. Again, to make this battle easier,
equip a Beast Slayer. If you plan to fight it normally or you don’t
have the Beast Slayer (which can be found inside Brahm’s Castle) then
make sure you get at least two of your characters with Freeze Checks
and level up their Cure Condition skill to at least level 4. You will
learn why later.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
BOSS:
Chimera HP: 20000
Weakness: None
Exp: 12600
Strategy:
This boss is quite strong if you will fight it normally. It will
have the first strike in battle and its very first attack is the
Three Deck attack as shown above. This attack deals damage,
inflicts poison and freezes characters. Having 1-2 party members
frozen is a big deal, especially in the middle of a boss fight.
Those characters equipped with Freeze Checks or better yet Poison
Checks are the best ones to have high Cure Condition levels. This
boss is not particularly hard; its defense is quite low compared to
other bosses. As long as you survive its initial Three Deck attack
with all your characters intact, you can dispose this boss with
just linked Special Attacks. This boss drops a Bracelet of Zoe as
well.
Anyways, one slash from the Beast Slayer is enough to defeat this
enemy.
Artifacts:
Mirage Robe = 1600 exp
Mirror of Pleiades = 1600 exp
Obtain 50000 exp after opening all artifacts.
I suggest keeping both of them. The Mirage Robe is a great armor for mages
until the later chapters while the Mirror of Pleiades is invaluable in
providing 50% chance of reflecting enemy magic back to the caster- which
greater power.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
At this point you can do whatever you want, clear some unfinished Cave of
Oblivion and other stuff. Remember to send your qualified heroes (check
skills, hero value and equipment) before going through the Sacred Phase.
Once ready, proceed to meet with Freya. If you are after the Good Ending,
(Ending A) then TAKE OF THE NIBELUNGEN RING before meeting Freya. It will
reduce Valkyrie's Seal Rating and starting evaluation by 2.

CHAPTER 4
.---------------------------------------------------------------------.
| NOTE: This is the most crucial chapter if you want to set things for|
| the good ending. (Ending A) If you haven’t done anything major that |
| will lower Valkyrie’s seal value (visit Gerabellum, Weeping Lily |
| Meadows or Meet Brahms) then you are safe. If not, try as much as |
| possible to get Valkyrie’s seal value down to 38 before the Sacred |
| Phase 6-7. During this chapter, you need to take off Valkyrie’s |
| Nibelungen Ring. You can replace it much some bangles or something. |
| |
| Read the guidelines below CAREFULLY. Otherwise, skip the chatter and|
| play the game normally |

you’ll send with raise Valkyrie’s Seal Value. (+12) Remember that our main
objective to get a good ending is to lower her seal value to the lowest
point possible.
** It is recommended to save Lezard’s Tower for last. The enemies there
are fairly powerful and the area itself if quite large. You will be in
trouble when you are under leveled. You can leave the area but remember
that the event to battle Lizard will not trigger if you do other major
events such as clearing another dungeon or doing any events for the good

1. Eye of Heaven
2. Strike Edge
3. Flare Baselard
- Continue to the left. Defeat the Dragon Survey along the way. Go
to the top right once you reach the 3rd screen to the left. Find
item (1).
- Further left, you will find a narrow space. Slide under to reach
item #2.
- Enter the front, jump on the plant and slash downwards. It will float,
lifting you as well. JUmp to the right and save. Examine the
sorcerer's body twice to get the Sluice Key. After getting it, head
further left then take the path down.
- After the path goes down (front) continue to the right and jump on
the water. There will be a secret path to the front. Continue to the
left then enter the room UP (to the rear) to find another weapon.
(3) Backtrack outside and take the upper left path this time.
- Continue to the left and take the lower path first. Shoot the
floating sphere to make it light. Now backtrack to where the path
splits and take the upper path this time. Activate the switch to
block the water supply and to drain the water. You can jump to the
hole. Continue to the left.
- Save and set your Mage's ability to either Firestorm or Fire Lance.
Your warriors can also equip the Flare Baselard to enhance your
damage. Continue down the seal and it will burst, engaging you to
a boss battle.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
BOSS:
Kraken HP: 24000 Crab Giant (x3) HP: 1000/each
Weakness: Fire Weakness: Fire
Exp: 16800 Exp:420
Strategy:
Fire storm or Fire Lance is great for this battle. To start off, if
your mage has the Firestorm spell, even if it’s not equipped, press
SELECT to open the battle menu then Magic. Use Firestorm to all the
targets. This will surely eliminate all the Crab Giants.
Concentrate on the Kraken. It does have some damaging attacks,
including the Tentacle Whip. Just link your special attacks and this
boss will end up in a barbeque stick.
Artifacts:
Bracelet of Zoe* = 2100 exp
Coin of Fortune = 2100 exp
Obtain 60000 exp after opening all artifacts.
* At this point, the bracelet may mean little to you. It’s up to your
whether you will take this or not.
On your way out, talk to the sorcerer again to obtain 500 exp points.

- To start off, from the entrance, grab the Eye of Heaven in the top
ledge on the second room. The top right door leads to items #2 and #3.
Just follow it the path. Backtrack after getting the items.
- The second door leads to the giant heart that you need to attack
in order to continue forth. Grab item #4 along the way. Continue to
the upper left room to find the heart and attack it. Obtain 12000
Event Exp by doing so.
- Take the bottom path. Continue to the next large room. Grab the items
on the ledges. The fire elementals are weak to ice so Icicle Edge is
the most effective way to defeat them in groups. In the next room,
you will find an opening on the floor that looks like a mouth.
Jump on it intentionally, and you will be taken the separate room
indicated in the map.
- All 'mouths' lead to this room and where you exit depends on which
gray intestine will you step on. Before that, find the Flame Jewel
and the Mage Slayer chests hidden behind the large organ to the right.
Stand over the intestine in the middle and you will taken back in the
upper right ledge of the room where you started.
- Take the bottom right door, past the tooth-like barrier which opens/
closes in a regular interval. Just get past it (you will be damaged.
no matter how good your timing is) and continue to the next tall
room.
- Make your way to the upper left rooms and find item #7 in the top
left room. Exit back and fall all the way down to the bottom.
- Head to the left, make sure to AVOID falling from those mouths.
In the 2nd room to the left, you will find three sensitive intestine-
like pillars. Grab the item(8) in the chest first and jump your way
to the other side.
In that room, you need to jump over those organic pillars. Remember
that you need to step on them only once as you jump! Any split
second delay will send you falling down those mouths. You will be
taken again to the room where the Flame Jewel and Mage Slayer are
found. To avoid backtracking a distance, jump to the rightmost
‘intestine’. You’ll exit 2 screens from that room. This may several
tries if you’re bad at timing your jumps (like me, heh) If you
managed to get past, proceed to the next room.
- Find the Iron Golem mini-boss guarding a lesser valued
Lightning Bolt in the lower left portion of this room. This is a
good way to vent the frustration you had earlier. This boss is not
that hard but does contain a good amount of exp so this is worth
the trouble. After that, head to the top left room.
- Take the top right room first to find another large heart. Attack it
and obtain the same amount of event exp you recieved a while ago.
Grab the item (9) as well.
- Now continue down those tall rooms, grabbing items 11,12 and 13 along
the way. Once you reach the bottom floor, continue to the right and
save. Prepare for a challenging boss battle.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
BOSS:
Hel Servant (x2) HP: 22000/ each
Weakness: None
Exp: 14000/ each
Strategy:
This pair is already hard as they are. The only way to defeat them is
to kill them both at the same time. If you did not, one will revive
the other with FULL HP. You wouldn’t want that to happen since 1)
they have pretty high endurance and damage resistance; 2) their
attacks are really damaging; 3) you wouldn’t like your ass to be
kicked by some floating eyeballs with overgrown worms (yeah, I know
they’re snakes)
Alright, concentrate on one of them first. Watch out when you’re
performing your special attacks. Do not overdo it. The lower their
HP gets, the better. Do this on both of them. Now once you’ve
damaged them both and you think you can defeat all at the same time,
don’t perform combination attacks. If you have some attack crystals
(Holy Gem, Shadow Gem, etc) have all your warriors use them while your
mage casts a magic targeting all units. Hopefully, if you estimated it
right, the two of them should go down.
You can also have your mage switch equipments to an Element Scepter for
her to cast a devastating great summon.
It doesn’t matter whether one of them dies first. What matters is that
you kill them both before they get their turn.
Artifacts:
Manual of Resurrection (!!!) – 2100 exp
Holy Sword "Seraphy" - 2100 exp
Spear "Basilisk" - 2100 exp
Obtain 60000 exp after opening all artifacts.
All of those artifacts are worth keeping, except for the spear, unless you
are using Aelia in your party. The Manual of Resurrection will be a very
good treasure to have. For now it is worthless… but wait until later.
For seasoned VP players, they should know what I am talking about. ;)
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
After clearing these dungeons, you can send anybody you want. After
sending them, then do the major events to lower Valkyrie’s seal value.
Without any resting periods, you should still have 4-5 periods remaining
to visit Flenceburg, get Lorenta and meet Lezard in his Tower.

Lezard’s Tower is a small maze itself. Remember that the paths don’t go in
circles. Your main objective is to reach the bottom floor and to activate
the two switches. You will obtain 12000 event exp for each. Unfortunately,
the paths for those switches are littered with tough and annoying enemies.
Have some Tome of Alchemy ready (Transmuted Element Scepter) when the
going gets tough.
Lorenta is your mage of choice her, since she has Mystic Cross by default.
This is not the best spell but it does more damage than any spell that you
may currently have right now.
- Head up the first door, past the save point. Ride the elevator
- Get off on the first floor where it unloads. Go up.
- Head to the left and defeat the Manticore. Use the Beast Slayer to
get rid of it easier.
- head all the way to the right and take the path leading down.
- Now walk two screens to the left and go up.
- Go to the right, and defeat another manticore. Defeat it and find
item (1) in the far right of the room.
- Backtrack to the elevator and drop off from to the last drop off
point. You can clear the area of enemies, just for additional
experience boost and map completion.
- After that, head back to the elevator and you will be dropped off
in the starting point again. Save.
- Head to the left screen and take the elevator. Get off on its first
stop. Grab items (2). Enter the elevator again.
- Get off on the next floor, go down and continue to the left to find
item #3. Now continue to the left and defeat the Dragon blocking the
path. Defeat it to gain a good amount of exp. Continue to the left
and take the door up. Continue to the right afterwards.
- You should find a path leading down (front) in the far right end of
the room. Take it.
- Continue going to the left. Ignore the door up (elevator) for the
meantime and continue to the far left. Enter the door up.
- Continue heading to the right and take the path that leads down.
- Continue to the left and defeat the Manticore in the far left. Grab
the chests (4). You can now backtrack to the elevator I told you to
pass by a while ago.

Dragon Zombies along the way. Find item (5) in the far left.
- Go right this time and take the path down (front)
- Defeat the manticore blocking the path. take note of this area
because you will need to come back here later to get more goodies.
- Continue to the left and take the door up.
- Continue to the right (you may want to try evading the enemies here
for the meantime) and enter the door once you reach it.
- Continue upstairs to the left. Defeat the Manticore blocking the path
and enter the room behind it.
- Attack the crystal and it will light up. Obtain 12000 event
experience.
- Backtrack to the main path and head left this time. Head up through
the door. In the next room, walk upstairs to the left. Take the
path that leads down (front)
- Follow the path and go to the left downstairs. Enter the door and
continue to the left then down. Defeat the Dragon Zombie and continue
to the right. Slash the crystal to activate it as well. Obtain
12000 event experience.
- Now, remember the spot where you defeated a Manticore and I have told
you to take note? Go back there and you should find a teleporter.
Take it and follow the path. You should find the most important items
in this dungeon. (7) The chests are rigged with freeze traps so stay
down when you open them. You will obtain the much awaited Creation
Gem in one of those chests. Now, the magic starts. :D
1. Equip the Creation Gem. This will increase Valkyrie’s transmutation
level to 2.
2. Transmute Manual of Resurrection to get an Orihalcon
3. Transmute Orihalcon to get the Creation Jewel.
4. Equip the Creation Jewel and start transmuting really powerful
weapons and equipment. You can even get high level recovery items
from ordinary items. Check out the partial list below.
Vegetable Seed – Noble Elixir
Savory - Noble Banish
Mithril Ore - Ring of Learning
Bark of the Dryad - Dimension Slip
Book of Everlasting Life – Icicle Sword*
Holy Relic – Icicle Sword*
Broken Armor - Glare Sword**
Unicorn Horn - Unicorn’s Horn***
Broken Sword - Glare Guard****
Broken Spear - Crimson Edge
Broken Bow - Elven Bow
*As you noticed, these weapons have high attack power. Icicle Sword can
even freeze enemies and cause instant death to enemies weak to ice.
Although its attack thrust is only 1, it is not that noticeable.
**Like the Icicle Sword, the Glare Sword has similar effects. It can turn
enemies to stone (Much better) and cause instant death to enemies weak
to stone.
***This is probably the best rod you can get your mages in normal
gameplay. Of course much powerful rods can be found only inside the
Seraphic Gate. (Learn more about it later.). Aside from its high magic
and resistance bonuses, this will enable your mages to perform
devastating great magicks during their special attacks. The best
thing about is its UNBREAKABLE.
****Although its Defense thrust is low compared to the guards you can get
at this point of the game, this is very effective equipment that can
stone attackers that are successfully blocked.
After getting these goodies, it is payback time. If you want, you can
defeat all those enemies you kept of avoiding a while ago. OR just slip
past them by equipping the Dimension Slip.
In any case, make your way to the teleporter past the save point. Grab the
chests there and teleport. Before heading left, grab the chests containing
Normalize and Base Metal on the other side of the teleporter. Go left to
initiate the next events.
After a brief conversation, you will be engaged in a battle against Lezard.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
BOSS:
Lezard Valeth HP: 10000
Weakness: None
Exp: 28000
Dragon-Tooth Warrior (x2) HP: 14000/ each
Weakness: None
Exp: 1750/ each
Strategy:
If you managed to have all the great equipments mentioned a while ago,
then battle is a breeze. If not then prepare for a tough battle.
When one of the Dragon-Tooth Warriors dies, its allies became
‘possessed’ – this increases their stats. Not to mention that Lezard
can resurrect those Dragon-Tooths as well. It will seem like a
mini-slugfest until you defeat them all.
Just concentrate your attacks one target at a time. Reserving your
mage's great magic in the 3rd or 4th time will deal greater damage to
take out the two Dragon-Tooths. Remember that after you successfully
attack Lezard, even once, he will be in the front for the rest of the
battle.
Artifacts:
None
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
If you have done things correctly to get Ending A, your Seal Value should
be around 41-45. It is safe now, considering that you sent the required
Einherjar before doing any major events, including this meeting with
Lezard. If you haven’t done it yet, remove the Nibelungen Ring before
entering the Sacred Phase.
