Introduction
This guide is the continuation of the unfinished guide here. I tried to make the format similar to make the transition easier.

This guide is meant to be used alongside the unfinished guide. Follow the first few missions that are listed there while checking out the "Pre-Guide Info" section for things that are not mentioned in that guide. You can safely transition to this guide right after you finished everything (meaning that you are about to do S09+ or M12+).

This guide is written as I played the game. Originally, I only wanted to make this guide as a way to figure out how to finish the quests without getting 300,000 fil, but I ended up finishing the game with more than that amount. I noticed that I might have missed some things in my playthrough (and guide) too. Please do let me know if you know anything that I missed and I'll be happy to add it. There are just too many secret in this game that can be easily missed.

This guide basically is a result of my own searching, whether it's in the game or not. I tried to scour through the whole thread on Steam and double checked some of my progress with this guide, but I admit that I'm too lazy to check everything there (it's part of the reason why I ended up making a written guide, tbh). I tried to credit every source that I used on the bottom of the guide, but do let me know if I missed any and you want to be credited.

At the end of my playthrough, I got 300,000 fil, 15,460,000 fil bounty, and a lot of money to spare in the form of sellable items. I missed 1 Divine Book and 1 accessory, but the accessory that I missed (Garnet) has already been documented in this guide. I was just too far in the game by the time I realized it and I'm too lazy to redo everything from the beginning.

Tutorial
Battle System
Basically, whoever got the higher value wins, meaning that the card will be activated. Note that some bosses might still damage you even if you have higher point card. The mechanic depends on each boss. S rank cards outrank all cards with points (just treat it as 5 point cards).

Two successful dodge and/or block will guarantee a counter with normal attack.
Three successful dodge and/or block will guarantee a counter with special attack.

Special attack: denoted by twin swords
The strongest attack that you have. Special attack can be changed by selecting the skill name on the top of the battle screen.

When dealing with other card of the same value:
Attack: nothing happens
Magic: nothing happens
Dodge: dodge bypassed - special attack will commence
Block: block bypassed - special attack will commence

Attack: denoted by a single sword
Attack the enemy. The damage will depend on Seil's Attack stat.

When dealing with other card of the same value:
Special attack: nothing happens
Magic: nothing happens
Dodge: dodge active - nothing happens
Block: block active - nothing happens

Magic: denoted by a snowflake
Assign Seana to cast her spell. The spell that will be cast is random and depend on her Judge stat. The damage will depend on Seana's Magic stat. Whenever Seana isn't joining the fight, this card becomes useless apart from blocking other cards from activating.

When dealing with other card of the same value:
Special attack: nothing happens
Attack: nothing happens
Dodge: dodge bypassed - spell will commence
Block: block bypassed - spell will commence


Dodge: denoted by green boots
Dodge the attack. You'll take no damage if the dodge is successful. Higher Evade stat will give a chance to counterattack upon successful dodge.

When dealing with other card of the same value:
Special attack: dodge bypassed - special attack will commence
Attack: dodge active - nothing happens
Magic: dodge bypassed - spell will commence
Block: nothing happens

Block: denoted by a blue shield
Block against the attack. You'll take no damage if the block is successful. If the block fails, the damage that you took will be reduced to some extent.

When dealing with other card of the same value:
Special attack: block bypassed - special attack will commence
Attack: block active - nothing happens
Magic: block bypassed - spell will commence
Dodge: nothing happens



Predicting Enemies' Card
Note that the accuracy will be determined by your Evade stat and enemies' "bluff" stat. It won't always be accurate (since the enemy might be bluffing), but it still helps somehow.

Red: means special attack
Blue: means attack
Green: means defense or dodge

Whenever there is a 4 mark on the left of enemy's cards, it means that the enemy has 4 point card. You have to predict which card is the 4 point card.

Whenever the enemy is doing "tell", aka doing a certain animation, it also indicates that it has 4 point special attack card. If the enemy has no red card, it means that they are bluffing, whether it's the "tell", "card color", or both. Note that they still can use 4 point special attack card even if they don't perform "tell".
Tips
  • Pump Seil's stat into attack and HP, then distribute it to either defense or evade once both are maxed.
  • Pump Seana's stat into magic before judge. Having a higher judge won't make her always cast heal whenever your health is low, unless if your judge is in the 30+ mark.
  • Try to dump all low point cards (1, 2) whenever the enemy card is green. Do note that you need to dump attack, magic, and special attack cards once per turn (unless if the enemy is very weak) since they can counterattack if they dodge/block more than once in the same turn.
  • Healing pots (that bandage icon) is easy to find. Don't hesitate to use them.
  • Try to check your bounty from the item list whenever you are about to do an action. Save, and do the action. If your bounty is lowered, then you are not supposed to do that. You should aim to get it as high as possible.
  • DO NOT take the deal from the guy next to the pub in Genoseed SE Block for 4,000 fil. You won't make that money back unless if you are very lucky.
  • Do not sell items on NPC that take them for low percentage. The max is 150%. More NPCs with different rates will be unlocked as you progress. One NPC (blacksmith) is only available in one side quest (S08). You might want to save that side quest for the last.
  • Trade 10 healing potions for potion boxes with the NPC in Genoseed SE Block. You'll get those healing potions back in no time.
  • You can put cards on "stock" from the menu. Put all S-rank special attack cards there, and take them out whenever you need it to fight a difficult boss.
  • You'll see an original artwork after finishing any quests if you get all the main events triggered. Compare the end screen with this guide to make sure you don't miss any.
  • Missions, both side and main quests, are not replayable. Make sure to save often.
  • Save often. The game heavily relies on RNG in battles.
  • Try to save a lot of 4 point or S rank special attack cards for boss fights. Do not waste them for normal enemies.
  • Craft Reductant, Filter, and Dye from Jessica in Alchemist's Shop in Genoseed SE Block and use it on your inventory to turn Rusty Metals, Mystery Liquid, and Clear Chip into one of three sellable items. I'm not sure if you can save scum to get better result, but my attempt always gave me the same result.

Boss: Lufia
She has 2 heals and high damage. Do not try putting card with less than 3 points - you'll get hit hard if she hits you. To be honest, I just spammed her with my 4 points special attack cards.

Save again for the next boss fight.

Boss: Lufia
She has 1 heal. Seana isn't joining this fight, so don't expect your magic card will be of use this time. Don't pit her special attack card with dodge card - she will counter your attack no matter what.

Explore the area and save before initiating your next boss fight.

Boss: Feldt
He has 1 heal. Careful, he hits hard.

You can technically skip this fight, but you'll lose the chance to increase your bounty. The bounty difference between beating her and not is 920,000 fil. You will be able to open all chests without winning this fight after finishing M23.

Again, you can technically lose the fight. However, you need to beat him to unlock S23. For your information, the difference between winning and losing for your bounty is 1,180,000 fil. You will be able to open all chests without winning this fight by now, regardless if you win against Annette in the previous battle or not.

if my understanding from google translate is correct, i think they are all in alphanauts' page: http://alphanuts.jp/
you should be able to directly download from there. not sure what they are about though since i couldn't seem to figure the game's description. they seem to be less polished than this one too (one of them is just a sample game).
Rex9999 2021 年 11 月 28 日 下午 7:30 
I just checked the forum post you mentioned, so this is part of atleast a 4 game series all set in the same world, such a shame we don't get to play the rest on steam, I guess there's an option of playing it in japanese and being able to download it somewhere cus its been 15 years (as per the post)

Ima bet one of the games is based around aruth, one of them will definitely have shiva and his employer, and I think one will probably have more on Adeleide and Fina given one of the games is named InderTerminate same as the side quest, just guesses tho.

at least we got this one ported over so it's something.
aquatorrent  [作者] 2021 年 11 月 28 日 下午 7:26 
yeah, the paint is the cutscene/art viewer. it's the box left from the music gallery.
aquatorrent  [作者] 2021 年 11 月 28 日 下午 7:24 
i just checked the empty bottle in S20 and put it in the guide. all of the input that you gave should be updated in the guide too. thanks a lot!

i don't have a lot of trouble unlocking the side quests, but i can see it being a problem. there were times where i was confused too since some weren't unlocked when the next side quests have been unlocked, but i figured that they will unlock eventually if i keep playing. not sure if the requirement is based on main quest or money though.

anyway, i'm sure the guide will help others later. i'm not sure why there is a lack of complete text guide for the game even though it has been released for years tbh.

yeah, it's quite a shame. i wish they also bring it to steam if there are more in the japanese language, but i'm not sure if they got a lot of profit from this game to make it happen.
Rex9999 2021 年 11 月 28 日 下午 7:19 
btw the thing that paint unlocked was the cutscene/art viewer right?
Rex9999 2021 年 11 月 28 日 下午 6:58 
I know right, especially when you don't know what unlocks what until you finish the chapter and see if anything unlocked or not, luckily I made note of all of it (or at least past like side chapter 6 or something should be noted on how to get it unlocked) so I can make a guide on unlocking all side chapters, some of your info helped a lot.

Yeah it's upping the HP, I was mostly keeping it even except on evade which got left behind.

If they talk about other games being in japanese there is a chance that this is indeed perhaps either a port or maybe sequels (or maybe this is a sort of sequel) have been released and that it simply isn't on steam, if that is the case then that is a tremendous shame because I enjoyed this a lot, all of the story and side chapters were a lot of fun.
aquatorrent  [作者] 2021 年 11 月 28 日 下午 6:51 
I think you need to increase your HP to get the orange bar. I already capped my HP when i was at the final boss.

Iirc, someone said in the discussion forum that the other games are in japanese. I'm not sure whether it is related to the other games in the developer website though.

I agree with the confusing part. Sometimes i hate it when i had to talk to everyone in the town since idk what the game wants me to do.
Rex9999 2021 年 11 月 28 日 下午 6:42 
Yeah I just defeated phase 2 (didn't have orange bar that you mentioned but luckily enough all it took was just deciding sacrifing 1 goddess blessing was worth it) haven't completely finished the chapter but I gotta say the game certainly is fun, at the very least I liked the story a lot but stuff like this does make me wonder, I tried checking some other games from the dev (small glance at it) and it doesn't seem any fit the style of this one, perhaps this is an old game part of a game series that got ported to steam (that was honestly my first assumption when I read the description) and that there is more to this but Idk.
If they ever make a sequel to this to do more of that sort of lore (assuming this isn't part of a game series already with other games) I hope they don't make it as confusing as it sometimes is.
aquatorrent  [作者] 2021 年 11 月 28 日 下午 6:37 
Whoops, missed the last comment.

Yeah, the counter thing is kinda random, but i just put it there as a precaution. His attack hurts when it connects, hahah.

I'm not sure either. I feel like the game is part of a bigger universe, and that character is coming from another game from the dev or something. I can't confirm this tho.

And yes, i also feel the same way about the ida soldiers. I thought there will be something coming out from them too. The ending is a bit disappointing from the main plot side tbh. I enjoyed more about their day to day "plot". Halycon days is a nice "ending" chapter to me.
aquatorrent  [作者] 2021 年 11 月 28 日 下午 6:33 
Yeah, i dont seem able to get the drop again from the wolves afterward. Thanks for the confirmation! Iirc, new enemies spawn based on your level.

Didnt know you can get the bottle from other people. I'll check it again later today to confirm it.

The moon dew thing seems to confirm that the auction result sells for different price in different playthrough like the goddess statue.

I think i already mentioned that i was talking about the bounty from the previous sentence.

Changed it to past tense. I think i screwed it up with the grammar.

Thanks again for all the info! :)
