                            ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~PATH TO TENUTO~~
Party: Polka
Enemies: Very Very Empty
After a long intro sequence, you find yourself controlling Polka on the path
to Tenuto Village. Walk to the west to find a save point and the first battle
tutorial. You can choose to go through the tutorial or not, kill the onion to
continue. Follow the path around and take the right fork into the shade to
find a Peach Cookie. Follow the path west across the bridge to get to Path to
Tenuto: North Section. Here simply follow the path until you get another
cutscene, then grab the chest nearby with another Peach Cookie and continue
north into Tenuto.

~~TENUTO VILLAGE~~
You can simply walk north and enter Polka's house, but there are a few items
you can grab first. Inside the house on the eastern side of town is a Peach
Cookie on the shelf. If you follow the path past Polka's house, you reach
Tenuto Village: Flower Field. Search the little shed on the right for Floral
Powder. Also search a bush in the far back of the field for an Angel Trumpet.
After getting these items, return to the main part of the village and enter
the largest house.

~~RITARDANDO~~
Party: Allegretto, Beat
Inspect the fountain in the center of town for 10G, and examine the boxes
near the hideout in the southeast for an Angel Trumpet. When you're ready,
enter the sewers to the northeast. If your health gets low while inside, the
priest in the church to the north can restore your HP for free.

~~RITARDANDO SEWERS~~
Enemies: Florite Mouse
Straight ahead is the second battle tutorial. After completing it, follow the
path straight north for a Peach Cookie. Return to the first bridge, cross it
and go south for an Angel Trumpet. Go north to a glowing part of the wall and
exit east to Ritardando Sewers: Center. Walk directly through to reach
Ritardando Sewers: East Side and pick up the Poison Whitecap. Return to the
Center and inspect the switch near the closed door to the north to open it.
Pick up the chest directly north for a Peach Cookie. Cross the bridge and
exit to the northwest to reach a save point. To the north is a boss battle,
so be sure you're prepared (set your items for use, fight a few more rats if
you're below level 3-4 or so).

BOSS: Bread Gang & Florite Mouse x2
Keep Allegretto in the light so he can use Sun Slash. Take 12 pictures of the
boss using Beat's Vivid Shot in the light, then move him to a dark area so he
can use Rapid Shooter. This boss isn't really that difficult once you get the
pattern of his attacks down.
REWARDS: Saber, Rat Tail.

~~TENUTO VILLAGE~~
Party: Polka, Frederic
After some more story, you return to Polka -- this time with Frederic Chopin
by her side. We'll be heading to the forest, but first, there are some new
items to pick up. Examine the water basin to the left of Polka's house for a
Floral Powder. Enter Polka's house for an event, then enter the bedroom to
the left and examine the plant for an Angel Trumpet. Back outside, examine
the flower patch right of the small bridge for a Peach Cookie. Then head
northeast to Heaven's Mirror Forest.

~~HEAVEN'S MIRROR FOREST~~
Enemies: L'Opera Knight
When you get to a fork in the road, take the right path to reach a Poison
Whitecap guarded by an enemy, then backtrack to the left path and continue
north to Heaven's Mirror Forest: South.

When the path splits, follow the left path to get an Angel Trumpet, then
return to the main path and continue north to Heaven's Mirror Forest: Middle
South.

When the path splits, take the right path to find a chest containing a
Walking Parasol, an upgraded weapon for Polka. Equip it, then backtrack to
the main path. Continue along the main path until finding another side path
going left, open a chest there for a Poison Whitecap. Return to the main path
and head north to Heaven's Mirror Forest: Middle North.

Follow the path straight ahead and curve around to the right to find a chest
with a Copper Necklace. Equip it to either Frederic or Polka, then return to
the fork and take the left path to reach a save point. Make sure your item
set is set up for the upcoming boss battle. If both characters are not at
least level 4, it will be extremely difficult, so go fight a few more L'Opera
Knights if you are a little underleveled.

BOSS: Forest Boar
This is a tricky boss, especially since both of your characters are not
particularly strong offensively. Try to keep the boar in a light area, so
that Polka can use Orange Glow while Frederic stands in the boar's shadow and
uses Piu Grave. Watch out for the Boar's Charge and Winning Shot attacks, as
they are particularly difficult to guard against.
REWARDS: Bamboo Shaft

You also gain Party Level 2. This party level changes the Action Gauge so
that it will keep counting down even when you are not moving. But the most
important thing about Party Level 2 (which the description does not mention)
is the appearance of the Echo Meter. As will be explained in an upcoming
tutorial, the more echoes you build with regular attacks (up to 32) the more
damage/healing your abilities will do. Learn to use your Echoes and any enemy
will fall before you very quickly.

***ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED: Unlocked Party Level 2 (10G)***

~~RITARDANDO~~
Party: Allegretto, Beat
First things first, equip Allegretto with the Saber that dropped off the
Bread Gang boss, as it is a good upgrade for him. Then go to the shop in the
middle of town:

     Hunting Knife      30               Angel Trumpet     200
     Arquebus           20               Peach Cookie       20
     Mail Shirt         50

Sell the photos you took of the Bread Gang boss. "There is a photographer in
the shop today" means that any photo you sell is worth a lot more. The photos
you took earlier should give you between 3000 and 4000 gold each, more than
enough to last you the next several chapters at least. Buy a good supply of
Peach Cookies and as many Angel Trumpets as you can carry (you'll be using
them for the rest of the game, so best to stock up now). The weapons here are
the same as Allegretto & Beat's starting equipment. The Mail Shirt is an
upgrade to Beat's equipment, but don't buy it, since you'll find one soon.

~~RITARDANDO SEWERS~~
Follow the same path you took to reach the Bread Gang boss. Find the girl Lib
in the end room and trade her your Rat Tail for her Stick. Exit the sewers.

~~RITARDANDO~~
Walk southwest to the beach and follow a little ledge right next to the
water. The old man in the corner will trade you his Dentures for your Stick.
Now exit the town to the northwest.

~~AGOGO FOREST~~
Enemies: Very Very Empty/Great Coconut, Florite Mouse
Here you will get the third and final battle tutorial. Once it is complete,
open the chest to the right for a Copper Necklace, and don't forget to equip
it to either Beat or Allegretto. Follow the path north to Agogo Forest:
Middle South.

Pick up a chest on the right for a Serpentine Lock, a weapon upgrade for
Beat. Continue along the main path until you reach another fork near a Great
Coconut enemy. Take the right path to reach a Light Guard. Equip this item on
Allegretto, then take the Mail Shirt Allegretto was wearing and equip that on
Beat. Return to the left fork and to the save point.

BOSS: Baby Dragon + Florite Mouse x2
Kill off the Florite Mice first, they have annoying healing abilities. Build
up your echoes and only unleash Allegretto's Sun Slash once you have 32. It
should take about 3 of these to kill the boss. If you think you need to take
pictures, wait until the dragon is almost dead. When it is hunched over, it
fits into the picture better for a higher score.
DROPS: Stone Sword Hilt

Party: Polka, Frederic
Enemies: Very Very Empty/Great Coconut, L'Opera Knight
First, equip Frederic with the Bamboo Shaft that dropped off the Forest Boar
and the Stone Sword Hilt dropped by the Baby Dragon. Follow the path north.
Open the chest to the left of the fence for Pretty Clothes, an upgrade for
Polka. Continue along the path until reaching a chest with a Glowing Tail.
Return to the stairs slightly south, and after going up, go north for a Wet
Umbrella, another upgrade for Polka. Return to the fork and follow the main
path into Agogo Forest: North.

Follow the path, there will be a fork in the road guarded by a Great Coconut.
Defeat it and pick up the chest behind it for a Hunting Coat, an upgrade for
Frederic. Continue along the main path until reaching a save point.

BOSS: Fugue
You can't win this battle, so watch as Fugue utterly destroys you.

Party: Allegretto, Beat
Follow the same path you just explored as Polka, the treasure chests are
already opened. When you get to where you fought Fugue, talk to the old man
on the right to trade your Dentures for some Green Paint. Backtrack down to
the painter in Middle South where you found the Light Guard, and trade him
the Green Paint for some Long Johns. Return to where Fugue killed Polka, but
on the way back, examine a rock near where you fought the Baby Dragon for 1G.
Head north from the clearing to reach the village.

~~AGOGO VILLAGE~~
Walk forward to meet up with the other party. Oh no, Polka is in trouble!

Party: Allegretto, Beat, Frederic
Instead of immediately chasing after Polka, go back south to town to prepare.
Examine the shrine in front of the nearby house for Score Piece 1, then enter
the house. Inspect the top right corner for a Club Clover, and the left side
for a Twilight Feather. Exit the house, go east and enter the item shop.
There is a Floral Powder just inside the door, and a Glowing Tail at the end
of the path to the right. Follow the spiral down to the shopkeeper:

     Saber                150               Hunting Coat         100
     Wet Umbrella          70               Angel Trumpet        200
     Serpentine Lock       80               Peach Cookie          20
     Cork Baton           200               Floral Powder        100
     Light Guard          150               Glowing Tail          50
     Breast Guard         300               Twilight Feather      50
     Guardian Clothes     140               Poison Whitecap      100

Sell all of the photos you have if you took any. Most of the equipment sold
here is stuff you recently found, but you can buy the Cork Baton for Frederic
and upgrade both Allegretto and Beat to the Breast Guard. Buy a Guardian
Clothes to give to Polka later, and with the rest of your money, buy as many
Floral Powder as you can carry or afford. Since it restores a percentage
rather than a flat amount of HP, these items will still be useful through the
entire game! Finally, inspect the totem pole south of where March is standing
for 1G. Prepare your items, save and head off to the west.

BOSS: Ogre Champ & L'Opera Knight x2
As usual, kill off the two extra enemies first. Have Beat take 12 pictures
right away if you are low on money, then use him to build your Echo Meter.
Use Frederic for building Echoes and healing when necessary, and save your
32-point Echoes for Allegretto's Sun Slash. Like the last boss, it should
take about 3 of these to take down this boss.
REWARDS: Long Sword

***ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED: Raindrops (10G)***


                          ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
                          ~~~~CHAPTER 2 REVOLUTION~~~~
                          ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~AGOGO VILLAGE~~
Party: Polka, Frederic, Allegretto, Beat
Equip the Guardian Clothes to Polka, and stop by the shop back in town to
sell photos and restock any healing items you used in the last battle. Return
to where you fought the Ogre Champ and inspect the mushroom patch in the
northeast for a Poison Whitecap. Return to the save point, save, then head
north.

~~CHORUS PLAINS~~
Enemies: Angel Goat, Earth Shaker
Walk all the way to the west for a chest containing a Leather Hide, an
upgrade for Frederic. Go to the bridge to the north to trigger an event.
Collect the three pieces of paper: near the bridge, along the eastern fence,
and near the southern entrance. Return to the goats and give them the paper
scraps to gain access to Chorus Plains: South Lake.

Open the chest on the western edge for a Jezail, an upgrade for Beat. Talk to
the goat-herder to trade your Long Johns for some Goat's Milk. Examine the
rock in the far northwest corner for a Club Clover. Exit to the northeast to
reach Chorus Plains: East Lake. Continue along this path to the save point.

BOSS: Maledictor x2
Viola joins your party for this battle, so your third group member is pushed
out. Keep Viola far away and aim her shots for massive damage. Move your
other two party members in close and fight normally.

~~VIOLA'S HOUSE~~
Party: Allegretto, Beat, Polka, Frederic, Viola
Open the chest at the north wall for a Club Clover, then exit the house.

~~CHORUS PLAINS~~
Go all the way north, up the stairs.

~~CABASA BRIDGE~~
Walk across the bridge and enter Fort Fermata.

~~FORT FERMATA~~
Enemies: Lord of Darkness, Maledictor
Walk all the way to the end of the first passage to the locked door. Enter
the hole in the wall on the left to enter Fort Fermata: West.

Go north to get to a ladder, then follow the path around to the ladder back
down, enter the rectangular room, and go through it to reach the first save
point. Go up the ladder near the save point and walk across the roof of the
room to find a chest with a Paper Umbrella, an upgrade for Polka. Take the
path east until you reach the wall, then go all the way south to the corner.
Follow the west path all the way around to the north. Along the east wall is
a passageway to Fort Fermata: Over Central Road.

Save at this save point, then continue east to Fort Fermata: East.

Move south and down a ladder, and hit the switch inside the small room. This
will move the floating rectangular room slightly east, opening up a new path.

Return to the floating rectangular room in West and go through it to find the
Poison Blood, an upgrade for Allegretto.

Return to the southeast corner of West, and follow the path slightly west
until finding a ladder down. Enter the small room at the end of this path and
push the button to reset the floating room to its original position, and pick
up the Red Velvet, an upgrade for Polka. Return to the save point in West,
and enter the small room nearby. Hit the switch to move the floating room to
a third position.

Return to East, run past the save point and south to a ladder. Pass through
the floating room's new position. Go south and  up the ladder, then walk back
northeast across the floating room's roof. Move north and go down the ladder,
then walk north, across the bridge to the west, then south again to reach
another small switch room. Hit this switch to move the floating room to its
fourth position. Go north from this room, west across a rock bridge, then
slightly south to a ladder back up. Walk south across the top of the floating
room, then climb the ladder down and walk through the floating room to get a
Maple Baton, an upgrade for Frederic. Return to the outermost ring and follow
it all the way south for a Rapid Fire, an upgrade for Viola. Follow the ring
to the north until reaching the wall, then follow the path south. Take the
ladder down to a save point.

BOSS: Killer Knight & Maledictor x2
I recommend using Viola, Allegretto and Frederic. If you need money for some
reason, you can take Beat instead of Frederic. Make sure Viola is at least
level 15 and knows Heal Arrow. Have Viola shoot the boss from as far away as
possible, while standing in a light area to use Heal Arrow as needed.
Allegretto and your third character should be standing between Viola and the
boss, since the Killer Knight will always back away to attack, and it's best
to herd him away from Viola. 
REWARDS: Fort Fermata Key, Lace Veil

***ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED: Unlocked Party Level 3 (10G)***

Party Level 3!  This party level allows you to set two different attacks for
light and dark, triggering the second one by holding the button down. It also
increases your item slots to 20 but reduces your Action Gauge and Tactical
Time.

Open the chest next to the boss for Score Piece 2!

~~HANON HILLS~~
Enemies: Eternal Green, Earth Shaker/Dark Bat
Open a chest containing an Angel Trumpet behind an enemy to the left.
Continue along the path to Hanon Hills: Midway.

Rescue the merchant from the enemy, then you can stop to heal, buy, sell, and
save.

     Bat Umbrella      250               Club Clover       150
     Breast Guard      300               Glowing Tail       50
     Leather Hide      100               Shadow Tail        50

     Coachman's Coat   300               Pure Feather       50
     Angel Trumpet     200               Chance Feather     50
     Floral Powder     100               Poison Whitecap   100

Sell any pictures you've taken with Beat if necessary. Buy a Bat Umbrella for
Polka, two Fancy Clothes for Polka and Beat, and a Coachman's Coat for
Frederic. Sell your old equipment, and restock on Angel Trumpets and Floral
Powder as necessary. Also pick up some Club Clovers. They're inexpensive and
a good way to heal everyone in your party at once.

After you're done at the shop, follow a path to the left with an Odd
Chocolate, then continue north from the main road. There's a man sitting in
the shade along the path who will trade his Piggy Bank for your Goat's Milk.
Follow the path north to find a Club Clover. Continue along the path to Hanon
Hills: North.

Continue along the main path for a while until reaching a chest containing a
Lace Veil. Keep walking along the path until you reach Forte City.

WARNING: You will not be able to return to any of the previous areas after
entering this city.
 
~~FORTE CITY~~
Walk north into the main square and talk to the boy there to trade your Piggy
Bank for his Speed Shoes. (Yay!) Play both of your score pieces for
Gentlemanly Pop nearby, he will give you a Peach Cookie for Score Piece 1 (B)
and an EZI Cracker for Score Piece 2 (A). Return to the southern part of town
and enter the inn. After the event, examine the back left corner for 100G.
Exit the inn and talk to the man at the item shop, and pay him 100G to go
away.

     Walloon Sword     350               Glowing Tail       50

     Angel Trumpet     200               Poison Whitecap   100
     Club Clover       150

Buy a Walloon Sword and Full Plate for Allegretto, the Wolf's Fang for Beat,
Oak Barrel for Frederic, Pair Jacket for Viola, and Tailored Clothes for
Polka and Beat, then enter the bar to the east. Talk to the barmaid, and
examine the trash can for a Lead Slug, an accessory for Beat. Exit the bar
and talk to the old man in the center of town several times. Exit town to the
west and talk to the man next to the cart before going down the cliffs.

~~GLISSANDO CLIFFS~~
Enemies: Sweet Whisper/Caravan Crab
Climb down two ropes until reaching a jump. Climb up the next rope for a
Bubble Straw. Go down 3 ropes until reaching a bridge to the west. (There is
a Score Piece NPC down the jump to the east, but he won't give you anything
for your current Score Pieces.) Walk west into Glissando Cliffs: Area 2.

Go down the rope, and down the next nearby rope and through the cave for a
Hell Mustard. Go back up the rope, walk to the west and find a nearly
invisible rope down from the oval hole in the ground. Jump off to the left
and go down another rope for a Silver Necklace. Go back up the rope, jump off
to the east, and go down the next rope. Go around through the cave and down
yet another rope. Jump across to the right and go down another rope. Where
you see a rope coming down from above, jump down and climb the rope for a
Reed Bow, an upgrade for Viola. Go east and jump down to the save point. Go
down the nearby rope to reach Glissando Cliffs: Area 3.

Jump to the left and follow the path for Speed Shoes, a great accessory and a
way to continue the item trading chain if you missed part of it earlier. Go
east and down the rope, then all the way west and down another rope. Continue
all the way west across two jumps to find a Spirit Arrowhead hidden behind a
tree. Go back east and down both ropes, then go west to Glissando Cliffs:
Area 4.

Go down the rope and all the way to the west. Jump across to the right and
enter the cave to go down some more. Follow the ledge to the right for a
Larkspur Robe, an upgrade for Viola. Go down the remaining ropes until
reaching the bottom, then walk west to trigger an event. The party will be
returned to Forte City after the event.

~~FORTE CITY~~
Stay at the inn. Buy anything you need at the shop and save one last time
before going north to Forte City Square.

BOSS: Tuba
Beat will not be available for this battle. I recommend Allegretto, Viola,
and Frederic. This battle is relatively easy, just have Viola be as far away
as possible (kinda tricky in this small battle area) and keep herding Tuba
away from her using your other two characters.

~~FORTE CITY PRISON~~
Here, you meet Salsa. After the event, walk east all the way to the large
hole in the wall. Before going through it, examine the nearby boxes for a
Club Clover. The Thief Slur score piece NPC does not give any items from your
current score pieces.

~~ANDANTINO'S SECRET PASSAGE~~
Enemies: Sweet Whisper/Caravan Crab, Bolbo
Go south to the first fork and go east. Follow the right fork after the save
point until reaching Andantino's Secret Passage: Cave - North.

Jump off the left side of the path for a Branch Sword, an upgrade for
Allegretto. Jump down from there and follow the right path for a Star Cookie.
Follow the left path back to North Section 3.

Continue until reaching a north/south path and go south for a Frilly Umbrella
for Polka. Return to the northmost fork, and continue down the east path past
where you jumped off to reach Southern Cave. Follow the path around to the
east and north. Jump off to reach a chest with Charmed Scales for Allegretto.
Circle back to where you jumped and continue along the path to South.

Open the chest between the waterfalls for a Buffalo Horn for Frederic. Move
to the southern part of the cave, circle around to the eastern side and open
a chest for a Dragon Scale. Go north and across the root near the waterfall.
Follow the path to the exit.

~~HANON HILLS~~
Go south towards Fort Fermata. Talk to the man on the spiral left path near
the Fort Fermata entrance to trade your Speed Shoes for his empty Fruit
Basket.

~~FORT FERMATA~~
Use your key to access the shortcut directly south to the other side of the
fort. After a few events and conversations, save at the save point and exit
the fort to the south to arrive at Cabasa Bridge.

BOSS: Tuba
Opposite of the last battle, you're forced to use Beat in this fight. Also
bring Allegretto and Viola. Have Viola heal when necessary and otherwise
shoot from a distance while Allegretto and Beat build up combos for
Allegretto's Sun Slash.
REWARDS: Crescent Blade

***ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED: Revolution (10G)***


                     ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
                     ~~~~CHAPTER 3 FANTAISIE-IMPROMPTU~~~~
                     ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~ADAGIO SWAMP~~
Party: Allegretto, Viola, Falsetto, Jazz, Claves
Enemies: Blue Gil/Rare Metal Picker
Use Allegretto, Viola and Falsetto in your party during this chapter. First,
don't forget to equip the Crescent Blade you just got onto Allegretto, it
restores HP so it's a very nice item to keep on him for a while. And since
you're not going to be using Jazz, replace his Mammoth Armor with something
else and give that to Allegretto.

First, go north until you reach the bent tree. From there, go south. At the
far southern path, go east to find a chest behind an enemy containing a Fish
Incense. Follow the path north and across the bent tree for an Angel Trumpet.
Cross the water and follow the next path to the south. Go east for a Swallow
Shooter, a very nice upgrade for Viola, before continuing east to Adagio
Swamp: East Side.

Follow the path east and when you reach a fork in the road, keep going east.
When you reach the southern path, walk off the path north into the water, and
follow this path north and west for a chest with Mammoth Armor. Return to the
wooden path and walk north and east along the tree. When you are back on the
south path, the path to the right of here has a sick fish, remember this
location. For now, follow the north path. At the fork, go south for a
Falchion for Jazz, then go back and take the other path to the exit.

~~CANTABILE INN~~
Exit your room and enter the other room to the right. Examine the plant for a
Meat Hook, an upgrade for Falsetto. Talk to the man to trade your Fruit
Basket for a Winder. Exit the inn. Examine the cart near the path for 45G.
Examine the boat along the path north of the dock for Score Piece 3. Continue
along the path to the north.

~~WOODBLOCK GROVES~~
Enemies: Mushroom Up, Bloody Onion/Leaf Egg
Go north and jump down to the left. Follow this path until reaching a score
piece NPC named Hungry Drum. Play your score pieces for him to get a
Brilliant Brooch (S Rank, Score Piece 1), which should really come in handy
in the next chapter for your healing characters, but for now don't equip it.
Continue north and jump off the bridge. Follow the path around to a Bloody
Onion with a chest behind it containing a Back Sword. Jump down to the path
and continue north to Woodblock Groves: South Center.

Jump off the second overhang and cross the bridge to the north to reach a
Bloody Onion guarding the path. Continue along the path past it until you're
able to jump off onto a lower path. Go south and cross the bridge for a
Fencing Saber, an upgrade for Claves (though you really shouldn't be using
her at all). Return to the jump location and follow the path until reaching a
Bloody Onion near a chest containing a Luckless, an upgrade for Viola. Jump
down to the original path and move north to Woodblock Groves: North Center.

Jazz will give you a Neutralizing Stone, which reduces the poison damage
taken in battle to a fraction of what it was, for this area only. Jump off
the path on the right side. Follow this path north and then west to find a
hungry Bloody Onion. Trade it the Winder for an Empty Vase. Go back east and
follow the path all the way south. Jump off the bridge and backtrack to the
sick fish in Adagio Swamp that I told you to remember. Trade the fish the
Empty Vase you just found for a Power Ring. This is an amazing item that
increases your ATK by 10%, but you will need it for the next part of the
trading chain. If you plan on trading it, give it to Viola, as she will be
the only character here who is in your party when you need it.

Return to North Center and jump to the second path. Go west and jump off the
mushroom bridge. Follow the path around to find Score Piece 4. (If you want
to backtrack to Hungry Drum, he will give you a Poison Whitecap for this
score piece, but I don't think it's worth it.) Continue on the path past the
onion. Jump off the southern side of the bridge to get to a tree with a chest
containing a Big Paper Fan. Jump back down to the path and continue into
Woodblock Groves: North.

Go North and jump off the first bridge, then walk under it to get a Windblow,
an upgrade for Viola. Walk to the west to find a chest with an Angel Trumpet.
Jump back down to the path and walk over the first bridge, jump down at the
second. Follow this path really far north until you get to the second bridge.
Jump off and cross two bridges to reach the Recovery Gloves. I suggest you
equip these on Viola or Falsetto right away (Allegretto already has 10% regen
from his sword). Jump off the second bridge to the right to return to the
path, and follow it to reach Woodblock Groves: Waterfall.

BOSS: Trick or Treat & Mushroom Up x2
Continue using Allegretto, Falsetto and Viola. Viola can do massive damage
from afar while Falsetto and Allegretto build up echoes so that Falsetto can
use them for her Snow Claw attack or Viola can use them to heal.
REWARD: Recovery Gloves, Floral Extract

After the battle, go east to Lake Reverb. There is a score piece NPC there
(Lonely Pitch) who will give a Shadow Tail for one of your score pieces. Then
return to Woodblock Groves and go north to Andante.

~~ANDANTE CITY~~
The second door leads to a doctor who can heal you for free. The third door
leads to a storage room with Score Piece 5 and Sullen Melody, who will give
you a Peach Cookie for your first score piece. In the furthest left room on
the bottom, there is an event. Return to this room after the event for a
Flare Head, an accessory for Viola. Visit the shop:

Dragoon Blade    1000               Hell Mustard      300
Monkey Bow        800               Twilight Feather   50
Power Stroke      700               Dawn Feather       50
Mammoth Armor     350               Fallen Feather     50
Tiger Armor       800               Pure Feather       50
Cloth Dress       300               Chance Feather     50
Silk Dress        600               Icy Feather        50
Angel Trumpet     200               Time Feather       50
Star Cookie       200               Lion's Mane       300
Club Clover       150               Odd Chocolate     300
Glowing Tail       50               Fish Incense      300
Shadow Tail        50               Big Paper Fan     300
Bubble Straw       50

Also read the various notes around the town until finding the one that tells
you to search near a stone column. Return to the entrance of town and search
near a rock for Score Piece 6. Exit the town to the southeast.

~~LENTO CEMETERY~~
Enemies:
1. Move north to view an event and get the first Red Flame.
2. Go through the lower right red door to get the first Blue Flame.
3. Go through the upper right blue door to get the second Red Flame and a
Mailed Fist.
4. Go through the upper right blue door to get the second Blue Flame.
5. Go through the lower left purple door and the next purple door to the
north in this area to each a path with a Lion's Mane. This path leads to the
Green Flame.
6. Return to the main area and enter the lower right door and all doors
inside to reach a Chivalry Armor.
7. Enter the lower left door and place the flames at the northern purple door
inside, leave them there. Exit back to the main road and remove the flames.
Enter the northern yellow door and run around the path back to the purple
door. Remove these flames and place them at the southern doors, reaching a
Hellstriker, a great upgrade for Allegretto.
8. Enter the blue door to the north to reach the boss.

BOSS: Death Crow + Light Antique x2
Kill the antiques first, and do so again if the boss revives them. The
Hellstriker Sword is awesome for 32-point Shadow Assaults here, and the boss
is not immune to the Power Stroke's slow effect. Be sure to use Viola's Hawk
Eye at the beginning, and as usual, keep her as far away from the boss as
possible. This boss is rather difficult to hit in melee since it floats, so a
large part of your damage will be from Viola's long-distance attacks.
REWARD: Thunder Stir

15. Return to the 4th floor hallway and enter the north door using the key.

BOSS: Captain Dolce + 1st Lieutenant + 2nd Lieutenant
Kill off the Lieutenants ASAP. They can heal and revive each other. Get the
timing down for Dolce's attacks -- they're quick and they hurt a lot. Once
the Lieutenants are dead, work on building up echoes for Salsa's 32-point
Grand Slam and Shadow Silhouette. Polka's Earth Heal is very powerful, but
have lots of Angel Trumpets and Floral Essence on hand to heal Polka and
revive any party members who die.
REWARDS: Torn Umbrella, Pirate's Paper 1

~~BAROQUE CASTLE~~
Enter the castle to view an event. After, go south into the central area.

~~BAROQUE CITY~~
Walk south to where Lonely Loco is standing, go past him to the east and

to reach Main Street. Talk to Contrary Marimba and play score pieces for a
Glowing Tail. Enter the inn and enter the far left room atop the stairs.
Examine the desk to the left for Score Piece 12. Exit the inn and visit the
nearby item shop to sell/buy stuff. Examine the snowy planter south of the

barrels to the right for a Feathered Hat. Go south to the Entrance and
examine the snowman for Score Piece 13. Return to the castle fountain and go
west.

~~SHARP MOUNTAINS~~
Enemies: Ice Coffin, Swordfish
Follow the right fork to the EZI Shrine. Inspect it for 321G. Follow the
right path to a Shard of Sampo chest behind an enemy. Behind the left enemy
is a Snowpuff Cookie hidden in the snow. Return to the first fork and take
the left path to the next area.

Follow the right wall to a dead end in a cave for Score Piece 14. Go back
south and take the left path. Take a left path up a slope for a Bird Cloak,
then return to the path. All the way north, there is a chest containing
Elegant Clothes behind an enemy. Go slightly south and follow the path to the
next area.

Behind the enemy to the north is a Chakram for Salsa. Follow the path north

pieces for a Star Cookie and the EZI Egg. Continue north into the next area.

~~WAH LAVA CAVE~~
Enemies: Fire Antique, Haken Busche/Coelacanth
Open the chest along the path for a Snowpuff Cookie. Continue into the next
area.

At the first fork, follow the south path for a Saffron Parasol. Continue
along the main path into the next area.

Follow the south path for Score Piece 16. Follow the north fork for a Floral
Extract. Continue on the main path until reaching a save point, then follow
the south path for a Resonating Wand. Return to the main path and go west
until reaching a jump behind an enemy -- jump a couple of times to reach a
Goddess Bouquet. Jump down and go back north to reach another jump point,
jump down the second one 3 times to reach a Hard Jacket. Jump from here and
walk south to the next area.

Pass through to another area and collect the chest behind an enemy to the
south for a Cloud Cape. Go back to North Side 2 and take the left path this
time, walking through it to the next save point.

Jump south, south, west, west, south, south to the next area. Run south and
east across several platforms for a Mouse Metronome. Go back west/north and
jump down to the path. Follow it all the way west to the next area. Pick up a
Celestial Hourglass on your way south to the save point.

Go east to another area. Jump north across the platforms to another area. Go
north to the dragon that's staring at the flower. Kill it and inspect the X
on the ground.

BOSS: Captain Dolce + 1st Lieutenant + 2nd Lieutenant
Immediately run back to the patch of light if Polka doesn't have the
Brilliant Brooch. Try to keep your characters together so you can kill both
lieutenants at once. This version of Dolce is about the same as before,
except that you're both a higher level. If you're having trouble, get
Frederic up to level 24 so he learns Spirit's Pathway and you can use him for
healing instead of Polka.
REWARDS: Pocket Watch, Pirate's Paper 2

Return to the save point and go west.

BOSS: Fugue
If you defeated Dolce in the cave, this should be a piece of cake. He's fast,
but there's a lot of light in the area for healing.
REWARDS: Brisingamen, Torquatus

                         ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~RITARDANDO~~
Party: Allegretto, Beat, Frederic
Exit the hideout and walk across to the bakery. Examine the back of the store
for Score Piece 17, and the side of the store for Score Piece 18. Go back
outside and talk to Worrywort Horn, play score pieces with him to get a Star
Cookie and the Cherry EZI. Walk up to the church for an event.

Party: Allegretto
Walk to the beach for another event.

Party: Beat, Frederic, Viola, Salsa, March
Exit the church and walk down to the hideout for an event. Exit the sewers
and enter the pharmacy. Talk to the shopkeeper, then exit the pharmacy and
enter the house across the square, west of the bakery. Talk to the woman
there to trade your Power Ring for Cold Medicine. Enter the cave that leads
to Tenuto and talk to the man inside. Return to the sewers and give the girl
the Cold Medicine and you will get the Spell Book in return. Enter the church
and enter the door in the back.

~~MANDOLIN CHURCH UNDERGROUND TUNNELS~~
Enemies: Viege, Orange Float/Ruby Eye
At the T, go right. Continue east into the next area, then go south to find
Score Piece 19. Continue south to the hideout to find Scramasax. Return to
the T and go west. Go north and after the event, you will be in Mandolin
Church Cave: South.

At the T, go left to find two enemies guarding a chest with the Prophetic
Cane. Examine one of the six pillars and return to the T, this time going
right. Continue north to the next area.

On the right side, behind a mine cart, there is a chest with a Power Ring. If
you missed the previous parts of the chain, this can get you caught up, or
use this as a good accessory if you did follow the trade chain earlier.
Continue north and cross the left bridge to reach two enemies guarding two
chests: a Double Crescent (for Viola) and a Diamond Clover. Back on the main
path, continue north to the next area.

Turn right at the T and find a Diamond Clover all the way to the northeast,
next to a waterfall. Go back west and follow the path you find going north.
Past the save point is another boss battle.

BOSS: Root Lurker
This boss has an annoying tendency to charge to the other side of the area
(often towards Viola) so speed-enhancing items like Speed Shoes are good
here. Apart from that, this boss is pretty easy.
REWARDS: Herebra, Crimson Brooch

~~BAROQUE CITY~~
Party: Allegretto, Beat, Polka, Frederic, Viola, Salsa, March, Jazz
Walk east and talk to the Former Servant. Enter the castle and go up the left
stairs. Enter the second room to find Shallow Sweet, play score pieces for
him to get a Poison Whitecap and EZI Pajamas. Enter the room at the end of
the hall and examine the green glowing flask on the left for Magatama. Exit
the castle and go south to Main Street. Stop at the shop to sell/buy, then
save and enter the bar. Enter the door in the back that leads to the wine
cellar. Talk to the employee there and choose the third option.

BOSS: Captain Dolce + 1st Lieutenant + 2nd Lieutenant
Same strategies as before, but this time at a higher level and a better
choice of characters who can actually do damage. Much easier because of this.
REWARDS: Werewolf Choker

If this is your first playthrough, you will also get a Peace Earring. If you
are on the second playthrough, you get Pirate's Paper 3. Be sure to examine
the barrels nearby for Score Piece 20 before you leave, then exit Baroque
City to the south.

~~CELESTA FOREST~~
Enemies: Flamea/White Pearl, Anathema
Walk south to trigger an event. If you have the Spell Book from the trading
chain, return to the castle laboratory and trade the man there for the Aria
Key. If not, continue along the path. Follow the right path for an Orbis.
Behind an enemy on the left path is a Spell Book, so go back now. Be sure to
talk to the merchant on the bridge on your way back for Score Piece 21.
Continue the path in Celesta Forest until you reach the Aria Temple entrance.

~~ARIA TEMPLE~~
Enemies: Sorbie/Ice Melody, Icicle Eater
Enter Aria Temple using the key you got earlier. Immediately warp up to the
first floor. Follow the right path and kill 3 enemies in the east section as
well as one in the nearby hallway to cause a chest containing an Imperial
Guard (weapon for Viola) to teleport nearby. Follow the path northwest to the
northern steps and kill the enemy hiding behind the pillar to cause another
chest to teleport to the northeast hall. Walk southwest and kill the enemy in
the west, then kill the first enemy in the southwest hall to cause a chest
with a Lion Armor to teleport to the west room. Return to the northeast hall
to collect the Rib Crusher that was teleported earlier. Continue up the
stairs to the next floor.

Open the nearby chest for a Bubbly Hat, then go back down to the previous
floor. Enter the center room here. Kill only the enemies standing on the
glowing circles (NOT the rats), and a rope will appear leading up.

In this room, kill the four enemies that are not standing on glowing circles
(again, NOT rats) to cause a chest containing a Recovery Orb to appear in the
center. Kill the remaining enemies in this room before exiting to the north.
Follow down the passage to the southeast and then southwest. Kill the first
enemy here to cause a chest containing a Flintlock Pick to teleport to the
east room. After getting the contents of this chest, kill all remaining
enemies on this floor to teleport a chest with a Forecaster Cane to the west
room. Go up the north stairs to the next floor.

Open the chest nearby containing a Tundra Vest. Walk south to the stairs and
up to the next floor.

BOSS: Rondo
The first member of your party will automatically be Falsetto, so be sure to
choose the other two you want by making them the first two in your party
beforehand. You can choose to bring Beat to take pictures, Polka or Frederic
for healing, anyone else for damage. Whoever you pick, know that Rondo is
very fast, and her attacks are extremely hard to block. Beating her is mostly
a matter of practice to learn the timing on her attacks, and if necessary,
returning to previous levels of the tower to level up some more.

~~COWBELL HEIGHTS~~
Walk towards the shrine for an event. Afterwards, examine the shrine for a
Saint's Mirror, then examine the tree for Score Piece 22. Follow the path to
the west and north, stopping at the save point for a shop and rest before
continuing north.

~~MT. ROCK~~
Follow the path north to Mt. Rock: Main Area. The path curves to the west,
enter the tunnel at the end and pass through it. In the next area, follow the
path north to a narrow wooden bridge to a chest containing NO NAME, a weapon
for March. Continue along the path until it forks, and take the right-side
path to a cave. This leads to the Aloof Fiddle score piece NPC, who will give
you SUNLIGHT GUARDS (+10 DEF Accessory) for playing Score Piece 11, and a
FLORAL POWDER for playing Score Piece 12. Return to the fork, and take the
left path to Mt. Rock: Canyon.

Follow the path to the right for ANTELOPE ARMOR, which is good for Allegretto
or Jazz. Take the north path and then walk east into the cave for a
SUNBRINGER, a weapon for Allegretto that isn't an upgrade at all if you
picked up any of the last 4 weapons for him that I told you to get. Exit the
cave and walk against the wind all the way to the western side. After the
save point you will enter a clearing for an event and...

BOSS: Waltz & Calamity Wilhm
If you are good at guarding attacks, I'd suggest ignoring the dragon, making
sure not to turn your back to it. Its attacks are slow and easily blocked.
However, if you do decide to kill it first, it goes down pretty quickly. Just
don't turn your back to Waltz, his attacks can do a lot of damage if not
guarding. This is mainly one of those fights where the enemy is fast and
difficult to guard, leveling up or practicing this fight a few times can be
the key to victory.

First things first, jump into the portal along the cliff.

~~ELEGY CITY OF THE MOON~~
The blue light on the left is a shop/inn with new equipment for sale. Examine
an urn to the right of the stairs for a DARK TAIL. Walk up the steps to West
(yes, I know you walked east to get there, level with me) and walk east into
the main area. The red light to the right of the main door is Glamorous Oboe,
a score piece NPC who won't give you anything at all for any score piece you
have in your first playthrough, so ignore her for now but note her location
for later. Examine the southeast corner of the town for a RAINBOW EZI before
exiting north.

~~NOISE DUNES OF FANTASY~~
Walk north to the end of the path and talk to the blue light (the Elder).
After the event, open a chest to the northeast for a SPADE CLOVER before
returning to Elegy.

~~ELEGY CITY OF THE MOON~~
Talk to the light guarding the door to gain entrance, now that you have
gotten the elder's permission.

~~XYLOPHONE TOWER OF THE SHINING KEYS~~
Wow that's a long name for this place. Don't be intimidated, it's very
straightforward. There is a simple minigame within this tower, you must
repeat the notes that the guardians play three times. Talk to Trio in the
middle of the first room to trigger the first one. The notes are:

F   F#  G   Ab  A   Bb  B   C   C#  D   Eb  E   F   F#  G   Ab  Bb  B   C
                    |                           |       |
                    1                           |       |
                                                |       2
                                                3       |
                                                        4

After completing this simple trial, ascend the staircase to the right and
spiral up. Upon reaching the IF Landing, follow the right wall to a MIST
CAPE. Follow this circle around to a save point and the stairs to the next
trial.

I would first like to thank Namco Bandai and Tri-Crescendo for making this
wonderful game.

Big thanks go out to my fiance and my friends for motivating me to write
another guide. It's a lot of work, but totally worth it.

And finally, I want to thank you, the reader, for reading this FAQ.  If I had 
not written this FAQ, you would have had to wait for someone else to do it.
The fact that I made a difference to you makes it all worth it.
