I. Introduction

I wrote this guide because, unbelievably, I found virtually no information on this game on the internet.

The latest text version of this guide can always be found at www.gamefaqs.com.

The original version of this guide (1.0) was released in January 2003.

That's about all the history anyone needs.

I welcome feedback, suggestions, or criticism for the next version. If you have any useful relevant

information not in this guide, please email me and I will include it and give you proper credit.

email to: dickweed666@hotmail.com

?- Unknown. These are the great mysteries of the game. I would like feedback on these things.

II. General Strategies and Information

---Hireling XP

When trying to level up new Hirelings, try to make their attack do the killing blow on an enemy.

Use a more powerful unit to attack the enemy until it is ready to go. If the Hireling does the killing

blow it will level up every time.

---Advance Time while Searching

If you send a search party to complete a quest that requires a certain time of day, you can advance time by

resting at any Inn. Resting advances to the next time of day. Camping advances to the next morning.

---Castle Guards

You can only leave guards at 3 castles for any given battle.

Any castles you can not guard will automatically be taken by the Demon Army.

---Block enemy's Summon Hexes

You can block the enemy's capability to place more creatures by occupying his surrounding summoning hexes.

In the God's Castle Battle, you can occupy the monster generators to prevent more enemies from spawning.

---XP from Boss Enemies

If you want to gain some levels, surround the demon leader, attack him until he is almost dead, and end your

turn. Most of the time he will use Megarestore and you can repeat your attacks each turn. Use a powerful

character that can survive the first attack, then let the weaker characters have a free shot for big XP. Use spells

that do little or no damage to that particular boss. This allows your magic users to gain nice XP and allows as

many other party members to attack as possible.

---Party Order

Adjust your party order after each battle, so that the units needing XP get first attack over other units of that

type. This gives your party balance. To adjust your party order on the party (PRTY) screen: highlight a unit,

press C, highlight the unit you would like to swap with, and press C again.

---Priest XP

Always cast a heal or shield spell with Priests even when everyone is healthy. They can get XP every turn.

Restore = 4 XP, Regenerate = 6 XP

---Leader XP

Cast a spell with your leader every turn even if they have nothing productive to do. If everyone is healthy and

your leader doesn't have a long range attack spell, use confuse, defense drain, etc. Attempting to confuse/drain

higher class units will result in higher XP gain (7 XP for class 4 dragons). Save the leader's turn until last to

determine what action is the most beneficial. Healing, Attacking, or just a spell to gain XP.

---Special Character Class Advances

Sub Leader Characters, Ninjas, Dragonriders, Griffinriders, and Winged Horseriders

will increase in class one time.

---Hiring Class 2 units

You will gain the ability to hire and summon class 2 party members when you take Cheshire. Class 2

summoned units availability will be limited to units that you have already classed up normally.

---Which summoned units are best?

All summoned creatures have strengths and weaknesses. All are useful if used to their strengths.

See summoned unit information in III. Leader Information

---Why can't I summon any units? I have MP.

You must keep the Royal Light Staff in the possession of your leader in order to summon creatures.

It does not need to be equipped.

---Inventory and Equipping in Cities

While visiting a City, on the main screen, press the start button to bring up your inventory. Here you

can equip items with the C button and get item descriptions by cycling through your inventory items.

---Time/Day and Night

Lawful units gain advantage during the day and are at a disadvantage at night.

Chaotic units gain advantage at night and are a disadvantage during the day.

The calendar months in order are:

Scarn

Siang

Cela

Ord

---Castle and City income

You will gain additional income from each Castle and City you control. You can gain control of a city in

battle by moving any unit onto any hex of the city. Gaining control of Castles requires the leader to move

onto any Castle hex. Some Leaders may need to be on the north hex. Amon needs to be on the North hex

and Summon creatures can't control cities for him.

After every successful battle, you will automatically gain control of all remaining Castles and Cities on the

map. Cities add approx. 2-20 Gold to your income, while most Castles gain approx. 20-100 Gold depending

on the leaders Economic Strength rating.

---Emulation

http://gens.consolemul.com

I suggest playing Dark Wizard with the Gens Emulator using the CD. The original CD has no copy protection

and can be copied with any burning software. No use taking a chance with your original classic game CD.

The Kreed Graphics engine and Yamaha high quality sound options of Gens makes this great game even more

enjoyable. I have not had one crash or problem. Make sure "perfect synchro" is checked in the CPU menu. There

is enough room on the ram cart to save after every map in case you want to go back and try something different.

VERY IMPORTANT...To keep from losing saved games Make a directory specifically for Dark Wizard

including its own copy of Gens, bios, and Ram Cart files. Always keep the files together and never run Gens

without all the files present. You can move the folder, but make sure to repath the Bios, Ram Cart and other

directories before running Gens. Always copy, test, then delete the old one instead of just moving. If you

separate the files and run Gens, you will lose all your saves. To archive your saves, make a copy of the entire

folder, test it (after repathing), and save it to your preferred media. Test it again by copying it from the media

to your hard drive to make sure everything still works. I suggest you do this with any sega cd game you're

playing with Gens. Hopefully, Gens will correct this issue on the next version, until then, protect your saves!

---Hired Unit Progression Overview

-Lawful

Fighter > Knight > Paladin

Mage > Magician > Sorcerer

Priest > Bishop > Cleric

-Neutral

Archer > Sniper > Ranger

Mage > Wizard > Enchanter

Priest > Monk > Druid

-Chaotic

Wildman > Berserker > Warlord

Mage > Warlock > Necromancer

Priest > Bishop > Black Bishop

---Hired Unit Placement Order and Reasoning

1. Sub Leader Characters

When sub leader characters are acquired, they will automatically be placed directly after the leader

in slots #2 and #3.

2. New Hirelings

Getting Hirelings an occupation is top priority.

3. Magic Users

When Magic users acquire multiple target spells, set these up first, moving friendly units that may be in the path

of the best spells. Using the spells that target 3 or 7 enemy units is great for taking out or weakening groups.

4. Warriors

Keep these units on the front lines.

5. Ranged Warriors

They can attack over the front lines with ranged attack.

6. Healers

They can heal injured units after the front line attacks. Healers' attack spells generally have good range.

---Racial Characteristics

Make sure you hire at least one unit from each race as they will be needed for various quests.

Hireling Base values and level up Statistics are given for each race for the purpose of comparison.

-Human

No armor or weapon restrictions. Affinity for chaos.

Human spellcasters learn a spell every other (2nd) level.

40 HP   27 ATT   6 DEF (approx.)   5 MOB

Lawful Human Level up stats	2 HP   3 ATT

Neutral Human Level up stats	2 HP   3 ATT

Chaotic Human Level up stats	3 HP   4 ATT

Competent in all Classes

-Elf

Some armor and spear (L) restrictions. Affinity for neutral.

Elven magic-users learn a spell every (1) level.

Elven healers learn a spell every other (2nd) level.

38 HP   23 ATT   5 DEF (approx.)   5 MOB

Lawful Elf Level up stats		2 HP   2 ATT

Neutral Elf Level up stats		3 HP   3 ATT

Chaotic Elf Level up stats		2 HP   2 ATT

Excel as Magic-users or Ranged Warriors

-Dwarf

Neutral Hobbit Level up stats	1 HP   2 ATT

Chaotic Hobbit Level up stats	1 HP   3 ATT

Excel as Healers

---Class Strategies

-Magic User Strategies

Use different units to earn each elemental spell so every magic user has powerful short and long range spells.

Plan to convert to the opposite alignment as needed. The idea is to wait until your magic user or healer learns

all the spells of his alignment and then convert him. He will now begin to learn the spells of his new alignment

as well. Keep in mind, his weapon and armor restrictions will change with an alignment change.

See Apostle of Sabrina quest and Apostle of Darkness quest for additional details on alignment changes.

-Warrior Strategies

Hire a Class 2 Human Warrior to become a Ninja when the situation arises if you have taken Cheshire,

otherwise a Class 2 Level 1 Human Warrior is all that is required for a Ninja.

An originally lawful warrior (Paladin) is needed to become a Winged Horserider. For Chaotic Leader Quests,

the Fighter you start with is the only eligible unit to become a Winged Horserider unless you create more.

See below.

A Warrior matching your Dragon's alignment is needed to become a Dragonrider.

A Warrior or a Ranged Warrior can be used for a Griffinrider.

A Warrior can be converted to the opposite alignment in order to take advantage of more of the best equipment

available.

See Apostle of Sabrina quest for a way to get additional Lawful Warriors who are eligible to become Winged

Horseriders.

See Apostle of Darkness quest for a way to get Chaotic Warriors when playing as a lawful leader.

-Ranged Warrior Strategies

Robin will need one to become a Dragonrider.

Make at least one of your Ranged Warriors an elf to take advantage of more of the best equipment available.

-Healer Strategies

Plan to convert to the opposite alignment as needed. See magic user section above.

Priest/ Magic User but only the Priest/Magic User can learn the Summon Water Spirit Spell. You must use

this spell to take the last hit point from Karmack. You can't defeat him without it. See Defeat Karmak without

the Summon Water Spirit spell Trick for another way.

---Main Quests

(in semi-chronological order)

---Return the Ancient Scroll

Visit the Pawn Shop in Teote to receive the Small Package. Deliver the Small Package to the Pawn Shop in

Nieve to receive the Old Scroll. Take the Old Scroll to the Mayor of Dreik to receive a 5,000 gold piece reward.

---Jewel of Light

Talk to everyone in Ridley. Visit the Town Square in Laguna. Search the strange spot in the forest southwest

of Ridley to reveal Arien the elf village. From the west hex of Ridley city, 10 south and 5 west. Visit Arien with

an elf. The Mayor will ask you to save his granddaughter. He will give you the Blue Crystal. Take the Blue

Crystal to the Town Square in Niele. The guy will offer to trade you the Elf in a Bottle for the Blue Crystal.

If you say yes, you will receive the Elf in a Bottle. If you say no, he will add 5000 gold to sweeten the deal.

If you say yes now, you will receive the Elf in a Bottle and 5000 gold. Take the Elf in a Bottle back to the

Mayor of Arien. He will give you an Elf Bow as reward for saving his granddaughter. After you do this, visit

the Pawn Shop to get the Elf Tears. Use the Elf Tears with an elf unit on the oasis in the desert southwest of

Sundrek. From the west hex of Sundrek city, 8 south 7 west. Search the shrine that appears to find the Jewel of

Light. It can be used to break the Seal of Light, releasing Sabrina. The Seal of Darkness will also be broken

with its use, releasing Arliman. Use the Jewel of Light during battle with your Leader.

See God's Castle Quest for details.

---Become an Apostle of Sabrina

(change character alignment chaotic to lawful)

Pray 10 times at the Church in Cheshire. Will not work with sub leader characters or neutral units. If you are

playing a chaotic leader and wish to have more naturally lawful units (esp. for a Winged Horserider), hire a unit

before taking Cheshire Castle. Keep him as a hireling without an occupation. Change his alignment to Lawful.

When he classes up, he will become a naturally lawful unit. For Warriors, Wildman will still be the option, but

when you select Wildman after doing this, he becomes a Fighter. After you take Cheshire Castle, you can no

longer hire Class 1 units. Any units you wish to manipulate this way must be hired prior to taking Cheshire

Castle.

---Become an Apostle of Darkness

(change character alignment from lawful to chaotic)

Pray 10 times at the Church in Sage or Loa. Will not work with sub leader characters or neutral units. If you are

playing a lawful leader and wish to have more naturally chaotic units, hire a unit before taking Cheshire Castle.

Keep him as a hireling without an occupation. Change his alignment to chaotic. When he classes up, he will

become a naturally chaotic unit. For Warriors, Fighter will still be the option, but when you select Fighter after

doing this, he becomes a Wildman. After you take Cheshire Castle, you can no longer hire Class 1 units.

Any units you wish to manipulate this way must be hired prior to taking Cheshire Castle.

---Train a Ninja

Visit the Pawn Shop in Kaus to receive the Shinobi Knife. Search the strange tree northeast of Tobis between

two mountain ranges with the Shinobi Knife in your inventory to reveal Shinobi (the secret ninja hamlet). From

the east hex of Tobis, 7 north and 7 east. Talk to the Mayor of Shinobi with a Human Warrior unit, class 2 or

above. He will offer you Ninja training. Ninjas become very powerful. Keep in mind when choosing a unit to

become your Ninja that an originally Lawful warrior (Paladin) is required for a Winged Horserider. If you have

taken Cheshire, you will be able to hire a Class 2 Warrior. Leave a slot open for him, hire him, and train him as

a Ninja. After training, a Ninja is always the same strength, regardless of his strength before training.

---Rare Axes

Talk to the lady in the Town Square in Spring. Return to the Town Square in Spring at noon with a Chaotic

Warrior equipped with a Battle Axe. You will drop the Axe into the spring. The Spirit will appear and present a

Golden Axe to you and ask if it is yours. If you say (yes) the Golden Axe is yours, she will give you the Golden

Axe. If you say (no) the Golden Axe is NOT yours, she will present a Silver Axe to you and ask if it is yours.

If you say (yes) the Silver Axe is yours, she will give you the Silver Axe. If you say (no) the Silver Axe is NOT

yours, she will present a Battle Axe to you and ask if it is yours. If you say (yes) the Battle Axe IS yours, she

will give you both the Golden Axe AND the Silver Axe. If you say (no) the Battle Axe is NOT yours, she

will ask you again if the Battle Axe is yours. If you say (yes) the Battle Axe is yours after all, you will get your

original Battle Axe back. If you say (no) the Battle Axe is still not yours, you will lose your Battle Axe and get

nothing. See Weapon List for stats of the three axes. Also note the Golden and Silver axes are very valuable.

---Save Dwarf Miners

Defeat the Giant Serpent guarding the cave southeast of Willis. From the east hex of Willis, 3 south 6 east.

You can also draw the serpent away from the mine by confusing it. Search the cave with a Dwarf Unit and he

will move the rock blocking the opening. You free the miners and they give you the Gaia Armor as a gift for

saving them. See armor list.

---Save the People Turned to Stone in Willis

Talk to the Priest in Niele and the priest in Moog. Visit the Inn, Pawn Shop and Mayor in Eros in that order.

Talk to the troubadour at the Tavern in Sundrek. Search the mouth of the moat directly southwest of Tara

Castle to find the Mermaid's Harp. From the west hex of Tara Castle, 1 south. Return to Willis with the

Mermaid's Harp in your inventory to turn the city back to normal. Willis has great weapons for sale at great

prices and is required for the Slayer quest.

---Rebirth Spell

Krystal and Amon- (Resurrect)

Talk to the Mayor of Teydon. Talk to the Alchemist in Kalua and buy the Goat's Blood for 1000 gold.

Visit the Mayor of Teydon with a class 3 (minimum) Chaotic Priest with the Leather Water Skin

(Goat's Blood) in your inventory. You will learn the Resurrection Spell.

Robin and Armer IX- (Rebirth)

middle of the 3 small mountains north of Teydon. From the west hex of Teydon, 8 north, 2 west. Search that

location with a class 4, Lawful Priest and purify him. He will remain there until the end of the battle without

moving. You also have the option of returning to this map with a search party. Return to Kalua church.

The Priest will teach you the Rebirth Spell.

---Hobbit Rod and the Sandclock of Dreams

Pray at the Church in Pacilite 200 times (you read right) and then talk to the priest to receive the Hobbit Rod.

Use the Hobbit Rod with a Hobbit unit on the strange spot north of Wuls to find the Sandclock of Dreams.

From the east hex of Wuls, 8 north, 2 east. See Hidden Items on Avisis map for location of another one.

See Item List for use.

---Acquire Griffin

Visit the weapon shop and alchemist in Wuls. Visit the town square in Solma. Search the cave south of Proxel

Castle with any Warrior or Ranged Warrior unit in the Evening to find and tame a Griffin. From north hex of

---Acquire Winged Horse

Talk to the Mayor of Palacite. Search the Winged Horse Spring in the middle of the forest northwest of

Palacite with a Female in the Morning to find a Winged Horse. From the west hex of Palacite, 3 north, 1 west.

Use Katrina for Krystal's quest. Robin herself will have to do this for Robin's quest. This is very important

because you can not send Robin with a search party, thus you must find the Winged Horse during the Flayrona

or North Baltrik battle when playing Robin. Use Susan for Amon's quest. You can use either Marie or Dianna

for Armor's quest, but you won't need to worry about a Winged Horse with Armor because he can summon

them. Make sure you have a space available (party max. is 40).

---Beastriders

Visit the Tavern in Laguna. Visit the Inn in Kalua and talk to the injured man to get the Talisman. Use the

Talisman on the strange tree southeast of Kalua to reveal Sharktan. From the east hex of Kalua, 3 south 6 east.

Dragonia, Paradis, and Nautia. He will give you the Sharktan Amulet to identify yourself to the clan members.

Have the Sharktan Amulet in your inventory when visiting the clan members. See Dragonrider, Winged

Horserider, and Griffinrider quests below for further instructions.

---Dragonrider

Take the Sharktan Amulet to the Pawn Shop in Dragonia to receive the Dragon Ring. Use the Dragon Ring

on a dragon unit standing next to a Warrior unit to get a Dragonrider. Warrior and Dragon must both be 4th

class and have the same original alignment. (for example: a paladin who has been converted to chaotic is still

compatible with a lawful dragon because he is originally lawful) Amon's Undead Dragons require a Chaotic

Warrior.

---Winged Horserider

Take the Sharktan Amulet to the Pawn Shop in Paradis to receive the Flying Robe. Use the Flying Robe on

a Winged Horse unit standing next to a 4th class Lawful Warrior (Paladin) unit to get a Winged Horserider.

The unit must be originally lawful. If using a converted unit, it must be converted to lawful before having an

occupation. See Become Apostle of Sabrina Quest for more information.

See Acquire Winged Horse Quest if you don't have a Winged Horse.

---Griffinrider

Visit the Pawn Shop and Church in Nautia (the Sharktan Amulet is not required) to receive the Flying Saddle

(referred to as the Water of Heaven?). Use the Flying Saddle with any Warrior or Ranged Warrior unit on an

adjacent Griffin to get a Griffinrider. See Acquire Griffin Quest if you don't have a Griffin.

---Slayer (Dragonrider Vain's Sword)

Visit the Weapon Shop in Sharktan. Visit the Weapon Shop and Mayor in Willis. Visit the Tavern and

Mayor of Wuls. Visit the Tavern, Inn, Mayor, and Church in Solma. After speaking to everyone listed, talk

to the Priest in Garmesh. Return to the Tavern in Wuls to receive the Goblet of Solma. Search the mouth of

the volcano on the island west of Solma using any Beastrider with the Goblet of Solma in his inventory to

find Slayer. From the west hex of Solma, 1 south and 14 west. If you get a message saying 'It's too hot to go

inside' when you search the volcano, your conversations are not complete in the 5 cities above. 

---Save the People turned into Vampires in Loa

Talk to the Mayor in Astea, who is really the Mayor of Loa. Agree to go to Loa and he will give you the

Sun Stone. Visit Loa at Night with the Sun Stone in your inventory to turn the people back to normal and

kill the vampire mayor. Talk to the real mayor in Loa to receive the Moon Stone. See Item list for use.

Amon doesn't take part in this quest for obvious reasons. You can talk to the people of Loa at night and even

get personal greetings if you visit with Amon. After the South Baltrik battle, Amon will make Susan a vampire.

Her alignment will be Undead from that point on.

---Ghost Scythe

Search the single hex island west of Demia Castle to find the Rusty Weapon. From the north hex of Demia

Castle, 3 north and 24 west. Take the Rusty Weapon to the Blacksmith in Willis. Have him temper the Rusty

Weapon into the Ghost Scythe. See Weapon list.

---Seal of the Demons and Access to Viosdia Island

When you defeat the 4 demon leaders, you receive the Seal of the Demons. Search the Shrine south of Palwa

with the Seal of Demons in your inventory to receive the Fog Chime. From the west hex of Palwa, 6 south.

10 days after using the Jewel of Light to defeat Velonese.

XI. Tricks and Oddities

---Good Sources of Gold

If you need gold, send a search party to load up on the following valuable items. For items acquired by praying

at a church, go into the city, pray at the church to get the item, leave the city, repeat. You also have the option

of selling immediately if there is a weapon or pawn shop in the town. You can also sell in a neighboring town.

-Power Staff in Nieve Church (value 250 g)

These aren't real valuable, but are included here because they are on the Insenior map very early in the game.

Handy for getting money to hire units you might not otherwise be able to afford.

There is a weapon shop in Nieve so stay as long as you like.

-Living Power staff in Yunas church (value 3750 g)-

Good early equipment for mages and priests and big bucks fairly early in the game.

This one will really make you feel like your cheating. There is a weapon shop in Yunas.

-Sultis Sword in Enhas Church (value 5000 g)

One of the better swords in the game. Very good money making opportunity.

-Athena's Orb in Niele Church (value 5000 g)

A good opportunity made better because Niele has a Pawn Shop. Stay a while.

-Shadow Shield on Balkandi map (value 4900)

Once you make it to this point you will never worry about gold again. You will now be able to afford that

expensive ninja and elf equipment you've been looking at without having to go in and out of a church.

Very fast gold.

---Place More Troops

Leave a castle hex open when placing troops. Move your leader to the open spot during their turn and you can

place more troops.

---Search Party Availability

You are able to send a search party out after every battle and have them available for your next battle by

immediately retreating at the beginning of the next battle. As long as you placed castle guards, and are not

attacking/retreating from a map in which you control 2 castles, you will lose nothing and can go into each battle

with every unit available. When you make it to the Isle of Viosdia, every retreat will cause a castle to be taken.

You can defeat this by leaving Nortia Castle under Warlord control and attacking that map when you need to

immediately retreat. When you are finished with your quests and no longer need to send search parties, you can

take Nortia Castle.

---Easy XP with the Power Staff

Send any unit on a search party with a Power Staff. Use the Power Staff to cast Cure for XP.

You can do this as many times as you like while on a search party.

---Equip anyone with a Ghost Scythe (Bifrostbear)

You can temper the Rusty Weapon into a Ghost Scythe at the blacksmith in Willis for 2500 g. Anyone can

equip the Rusty Weapon, and if you temper it while equipped, it will remain equipped. This allows units to use

the Ghost Scythe who wouldn't normally be able to. Once this is done, it must never be unequipped or moved,

as you will not be able to re-equip it. Since the source of the Rusty Weapon on the Demia map is unlimited,

you can, theoretically equip every unit with a Ghost Scythe.

---Defeat Karmak without the Water Spirit (Troy Stiltner)

Position a Ninja adjacent to Karmak with Gun Powder in his inventory. Get the HP of both Karmak

and the Ninja down to near death. Cast an attack spell on Karmak that will hit the Ninja as well.

When the Ninja dies, he will involve Karmak in his death and Karmak will die too.

---Temper the Seal of the Demons (Bifrostbear)

For 50 g you can temper the Seal of the Demons at the blacksmith in Willis to get a short sword (3 attack).

Save your game before you try this, as you will not be able to get the fog chime or get onto Viosdia Island.

Game Over.

---Use Arliman's own power against him in the God's Castle battle

If you equip the Retribution armor, unequip your shield (and any other protective items) and attack Arliman, you

will be able to give back half of the damage he does to you. Some units (for example the Griffinrider or Winged

Horserider) take major damage (over 600 hp) from Arliman. You can take him down with his own power.

This works especially well if you have the ability to resurrect. No need to heal the unit after resurrecting them,

just attack again.

---Kyrstal's Sub Leaders switch occupations

In an obvious in-game mistake, Marcus' occupation is listed as Mage and Katrina's occupation is listed as

Soldier. After they class up, their proper occupations are listed.

---Leader Personal Greetings and Residency

Krystal, Marcus, and Katrina will get personal greetings in Woors. They will be residents of Woors in the other

leaders quests. Marcus will be the weapon dealer, Krystal will be the alchemist, and Katrina will be the priestess.

Robin, Kail, and David will get a special Fortune in Sundrek and Robin is a resident in Sundrek Inn in the other

leaders quests.

Amon will get personal greetings in Loa, but is nowhere to be found in the other leaders quests.

Armer IX will get personal greetings at the Tavern in Cheshire and be a resident there in the other leaders quests.
