Xenogears Walkthrough/FAQ: Version 0:1 Produced by: Zentraedi Industries Written By: Kyte Sun Smith Version 0:1 finished on January 19, 1999 I'd like to start off by saying this is the first walkthrough and first FAQ I've ever done, so if you have any questions, comments, or suggestions please contact me at smithrond@erols.com. Table of Contents: I. Character Information II. Deathblow Skills III. Character Abilities IV. Walkthrough V. Frequently Asked Questions VI. Final Thoughts I. Character Information Fei Fong Wong: the main character of Xenogears, and like Cloud the Fruit in 7, he cannot be removed from the party except for certain parts of the game. He is eighteen years old and he lives in the village of Lahan. For the past three years he has lived a peaceful life in the backwater village. Fei is an excellent martial artist and painter, two skills he doesn't know how he learned seeing as his memory is gone. And as it turns out, he has quite a past. Age-18 Birthplace-Unknown (maybe Shevat?) Gender-Male Height-5'11'' Weight-147 lbs. Gear(s)-Weltall, Weltall II, Xenogears Elhaym (Elly) Van Houten: a Solarian Gear pilot, associated with the special Gebler forces. Also eighteen, Elly has quite a role to play in the games far off future. Making an emergency landing outside Lahan, she blames herself for what happens next. Meeting Fei after the incident in Lahan, she almost kills him, but she just doesn't have the guts. This turns out to be for the better, not only for the two of them. Age-18 Birthplace-Solaris Gender-Female Height-5'6'' Weight-101 lbs. Gear(s)-Vierge Citan Uzuki (the damn well coolest character in Xenogears!): the local doctor of Lahan, he makes his home on the mountaintop overshadowing the small village. He is extremely intelligent, and surrounded in mystery. Time and again he saves Fei. Citan is the second oldest character you can play at the age of twenty-nine and the only character with his entire family intact. Age-29 Birthplace-Solaris Gender-Male Height-6'1'' Weight-150 lbs. Gear(s)- Heimdal, Fenris (?) Bartholomew (Bart) Fatima-the vengeful ex-prince of Aveh, and commander of the sand pirates and their cruiser Yggdrasil. What surprised me is that this guy is only eighteen and he still commands all this stuff! Bart is a reckless and hotheaded young man that somehow manages to keep his ass alive. However, his `shoot anything that moves' nature gets the team in trouble more than once. Age-18 Birthplace-Bledavik Castle Gender-Male Height-6'1'' Weight-158 lbs. Gear(s)-Brigandier, Andavari Billy Lee Black-a seemingly lonely young boy, Billy can fend for himself when he needs to. When he was a young boy, Billy's father left his mother, sister, and himself. A little while later, Wels killed his mother while he and his sister Primera (Prim) hid. Bishop Stone rescued the two just after their mother was killed by the Wels and in return Billy left with the bishop to become an Etone of the Ethos society. But if Billy knew the true story about the Wels and the Ethos. Age-16 Birthplace-Aquavy Islands Gender-Male Height-5'7'' Weight-130 lbs. Gear(s)-Renmazuo Ricardo (Rico) Banderas-the towering demi-human with a shrouded past that even he doesn't know about. He was created through genetic experimentation, a cross breeding of a human and a beast. All he does is battle in Nortune's Battling Arena and rule over D-Block. But when he is finally defeated he doesn't know what he should do with himself, so. Age-30 Birthplace-Kislev Gender-Male Height-7'0'' Weight-352 lbs. Gear(s)-Stier Maria Balthasar-the granddaughter of the brilliant Balthasar disappeared from Solaris a few years ago. Now she is the guardian of Shevat combating any force that comes near Shevat or Babel Tower's peak. She constantly thinks of her father until she must use her Seibzehn to combat its sister Gear Achtzehn. Although she herself is the weakest character in the game, her Gear can rock just about anything. Age-13-14 Birthplace-Solaris Gender-Female Height-N/A Weight-N/A Gear(s)-Seibzehn Chu-Chu-that annoying little pink fluff. Age-N/A Birthplace-N/A (maybe Shevat?) Gender-.female? Height-Short, very short Weight-N/A Gear(s)-None Emerelda-named after her emerald colored hair, she is a very mysterious young girl. When brought back to the Yggdrasil she calls Fei `Kim'. After trying to explain to the girl what his name is, Fei earns the name of `Fei's Kim'. Her Gear, Crescens (?) is average, but her strength lies in her spells. Age-N/A Birthplace-N/A Gender-Female (even though she is a colony of nanomachines) Height-N/A Weight-N/A Gear(s)-Crescens (?) II.

Walkthrough You start in the small, backwater village of Lahan. Fei is painting another one of his pictures, and when he takes a break the game begins. You can take a look at all of the pictures in the room by examining them. Check Fei's bed to receive his stash of 200G. Head to the room next to Fei's, the one with the two barrels and the shelving unit. Jump on the barrels and then rotate the camera until you can see a spider web, it's very visible, you can't miss it. Jump and grab that. In the next room there is a lady that you can talk to. If you choose to do that you'll see a little scene explaining how Fei arrived in the village three years ago. From there go up the stairs and talk to Timothy, Fei's trusted friend. He'll go on about his wedding tomorrow and Fei will thank him and Alice for their help when he first arrived here. Timothy will ask Fei to go and check on his bride-to-be. While walking out the door a little red-haired punk will step through the door. This is Dan. He'll tell you that he needs to talk to you later. Leave Chief Lee's house and go behind it and talk t the old man three times to receive two Aquasols. The house to the left of Chief Lee's is the Training Room. Inside the people will teach you about various commands in the game. The only person worth speaking to is the bald man with a green shirt. Have him explain something to you and you'll receive 80G. While you're here take a look around and see if you see a familiar Squaresoft face.yes, it's Lucca of Chrono Trigger. However, if you have her explain Save Points (or Memory Cubes) to you it'll cost you some money. You can also save if you want. Next you can go and jump down the town well four times to receive an Eyeball, Aquasol S, and a Power Ring. Then go talk to the woman by the bearcow, it's a blue-gray, horned animal. Say to her "No, of course not!" and receive an Aquasol (the choice of all bearcows). From here go to the tavern or bar (whichever you want to call it). Talk to the drunken man in the corner of the room. Say to him: "Drinking won't help matters!" and then start to walk away and he'll give you the Mermaid Tear. Next go to the house by the two picnickers and go to the basement. Talk to the old woman and say "I like it" to receive 120G. Upstairs you can get the RPS Badge from the man in the corner if you can beat him five times in a row, and as far as I can tell he has no pattern. You can use the guy as a good way to get lots of cash if you save your game in the Training Room and then keep fighting him and winning. If you lose you can reset it using Square's L+R+Start+Select command. I do recommend you get the badge, even though it is tedious. Okay, now that you've done all this, find Dan, he's near the tavern. Talk to him and he'll ask you to take Alice away. You can choose to agree or disagree, I don't think it has any affect on the game. Time to go meet Alice. Her house is to the right of the tavern, it's the one with the woman standing in the doorway. Speak to her and she'll let you pass. Go up the stairs and Fei and Alice will talk for a bit. Then Fei volunteers to go up to Doctor Uzuki's house in place of Dan. Now you can decide whether to gain some levels or just go on with the game. If you choose to gain levels, leave the town and fight on the world map in hopes of fighting Hoppers and little rabbit-like creatures. They give you better armor. When you decide to go and see the good doctor, rest in your bed and buy supplies. One can access the mountain path that leads to Citan's house via either the world map or a path in Lahan. Upon arriving on the path, you can save your progress, and jump up a barely visible path that leads to a single tree atop a hill. Here you can get a bird's egg if you jump into the tree. If you do this, the mother (or father) bird will fly above your head, pecking at you. It can cause you only one point of damage every time you don't give it back. Go up the far right path to find an Aquasol in a chest. Find the path that leads to the bridge and go across it. Bellow the bridge is another Aquasol. When you reach the path that leads into another screen there will be two trees, one on each side of the path. Jump in the left one to get a spider. Okay, Fei's reached Citan's house. Go in the front door and talk to Yui, Citan's wife. If you got the bird's egg then Fei will give it to Yui. She'll tell you that Citan is in the back yard. Leave the house and go up the stairs on the right side of the house. Step into the door that is before the door that leads to the telescope, you'll know the door when you open it. A chicken will pop out. Inspect the room and find yet another Aquasol. From there go up into the room with the large telescope on top of it. Climb the latter and jump toward the small chimney. Inspect it to find Citan's secret stash of 120G. Jump down from there and go back to the right side of the house. Jump behind the flowerbed and inspect the entire area. Somewhere in that area is Midori's Ring. You can't use it yet. Now go to the backyard and step near the door. An explosion will occur and Citan will appear. A polite conversation ensues and then Citan says that there is something he wants Fei to see that is inside the small room. Enter the room and take a look at the rectangular box in the middle of the room. Citan appears and the two talk some more. Then doc tells Fei that he's got a little bit more to do and that Fei should occupy his daughter's time. When Fei leaves the statue explodes. Dinner passes by and Fei thanks the family for the food. Citan tells him that he'll bring the things Alice wanted tomorrow morning. So head back to Lahan with empty hands. While going back, Gears head toward the remote town. Citan catches up with Fei and tells him that the two must hurry to the village. You cannot get in any fights right now, so don't worry about that. Arriving in Lahan, the two see the village in flames. Citan says that he will help to evacuate people as will Fei. However, Fei sees a lone Gear just kneeling there, it's dead pilot on the ground. An anime scene ensues and then Fei boards the gear, Weltall. You have to fight off to Gears from Kislev I think, but that doesn't matter. If you have Raijin with Fei, use your strong attack for the first two attacks and then finish off the other Gear with the Raijin command. Now Fei is being overwhelmed by Gears and then his buddy Timothy gets shot and he dies. Fei loses control and toasts the entire village and most of its people. Fei wakes up under a tree. The villagers are all afraid of him and Dan blames him for the death of Alice. Citan suggests that Fei leave here and head through the Blackmoon Forest. And so Fei leaves the people that he has lived among for three years. Enter the forest, which is West of town. This is where you can gain some levels, if you have the supplies and the patience. Throughout the dark forest are a couple of Aquasols, a Survival Tent, and an Arcane Rod. Sorry I can't be more specific about these items right now, I'll change that in the next version. To get to most treasures follow the odd-looking creatures, Hoppers I think they're called. There is a Hopper near a tree with exposed roots. If you jump towards it, the creature will show you the way to climb up the tree. Save at the save point, don't use a Survival Tent. If you need to heal use some Aquasols or some Hob-jerky. Follow the path until you find the tree with the large boulder on it and a Hopper standing in front of it. Fight the Hoppers and then get out of the way of the large rock. Go through the opening that is now there. A woman dressed in strange clothing, Elhaym, stops Fei. She will warn Fei that she will kill him, but with his current situation Fei really doesn't care. Elly will be attacked by Forest Elves and you must defeat them. The next scene is of Fei and Elly by a campfire. The two will talk for a while and then call it a night. Follow the path that is to the left and head right. Follow the many Hoppers around the screen to receive the treasures, except for the farthest one in the forest by the large stone slab. Don't go there yet. Retrace your steps back to the pathway with the sign and get to the save point. I suggest that you gain some levels here and make sure you have Fei with Raijin. Try to get Elly with as many Deathblows as possible. After gaining some levels and Deathblow skills, save your game and heal up. Unequip Elly. Go across the bridge and a scene will begin. Fei and Elly have a fight and Elly leaves Fei to himself, going on alone. This turns out to be a rash decision as a Rankar attacks her. Fei will come to the rescue, but his attacks cannot really harm the beast. Just stay alive for four or five rounds until Doc shows up with Weltall. Attack the Rankar using your strongest attack and Raijin. After a couple o' turns the Rankar will be defeated and another scene ensues. Citan and Fei are talking and then Elly wakes up. The trio sets up camp and then Citan and Elly talk for a bit. Doctor Uzuki will ask that Elly leave, as quickly as possible. The next day, Fei wakes up and he and Doc have a brief talk. Head out of this place and the two will spot an Aveh battleship. After that part finishes up, continue leaving the forest. Time to go to Dazil, the second town in the game. Rest at the local bar, stock-up on supplies and equipment, and then go inside the building that rents sand buggies. I'm pretty sure that it's the second or third door on the left when you enter Dazil. Talk to the man behind the counter and then go to the back of the town, to the Ethos Workshop. Speak with the man in front and he'll tell you that they cannot help our heroes. Go outside of town and gain some levels. If you don't have Raijin, get it. You need it. I recommend getting up to at least level nine, and getting the first two Deathblow skills. Return to town and rest. Outside the sand buggy shop is a sand buggy. Enter the shop to rent the vehicle for free. Citan will take the buggy alone. If you talk to people around town, they'll suggest that you go and find him seeing as it is dangerous out in the desert. Leave Dazil and head West. Soon you'll enter a large expanse of desert. Follow the Gears that appear to the next screen. Fei will then see a floating fortress overhead, follow that. After that more Gears appear, follow those too. Now Fei will steel a motorcycle. After a brief ride, two Aveh Gears will attack Fei. Citan will show up with Weltall. Take care of these two using the strong attack and the Level One Gear Attack. Grahf will appear and Fei will have a flashback or two. He will have you fight Wyrm, a relatively easy enemy as long as you know what to do. To beat the Wyrm, use Guided Shot three or four times and it should be dead. You'll receive and Eyeball from it. Next, because Weltall was damaged in the fight, Aveh forces'll capture you. Fei and Citan wake up inside an Aveh ship. Save your game then talk to Citan. When given the option to either rest or keep on talking, you can keep on talking two more times for some extra dialog, but nothing else. Rest. Citan will have a flashback that will only make sense later in the game, much later. Soon the sand pirates attack the Aveh ship and the two are forced to fight the raging sands to escape. Stepping out of your room go north into the next room to find a Survival Tent. Go back south and close the door using the switch on the right side of the wall. Go in the next room to find a Rosesol. Continue going down and jump down the latter. In this area, climb the stairs to find a Leather Vest. Go west to find Extra Ar +1. Head back to the stairway and climb the latter to reach that small area. Jump forward to get on the catwalk and make your way toward the latter. In this next room use the Save Point and then continue on. By the way, all through this dungeon are enemies that can give you Leather equipment. Climb up the latter and now you have to go across the crane. You can't fall and die so don't worry. Reach Weltall and you'll jump down inside its cockpit. Fei'll rescue Citan and then he'll land the Gear away from the ship. Now you get to fight Bart in his Gear, Brigandier. Use the weakest attack because you'll usually miss after he uses Wild Smile and then use Level One attacks to defeat him. The two of you will be sucked under by quicksand. After a brief scene onboard the Yggdrasil, Bart and Fei decide to have a truce so that they can make it out of these caves. Use the Save Point.
