Welcome to Icarus: Sanctuary of the Gods Guide. This guide will help out those who are stuck in this PC RPG game. This FAQ contains some spoilers that may spoil the game. So, if you are really stuck, refer back to this FAQ. If there are some mistakes that you noticed, want to send in info or make some comments and ask questions, feel free to e-mail to me at clementchan@pd.jaring.my ------------------------------------- [1.1] About Icarus ------------------------------------- Icarus: Sanctuary of the Gods is an RPG game for the PC. As I like RPG games, I bought this game and give it a try. There are up to 8 characters to control with also lots of magics and special attacks can be used. The graphics and musics may not be as good as other games but the storyline is really nice and interesting. ------------------------------------- [1.2] Copyright info ------------------------------------- This FAQ is Copyright 2000 Clement Chan Zhi Li.

Also, this allows you to use cheats. Cool, huh? ------------------------------------- [1.4] How to Best View this Guide ------------------------------------- If you view this guide of the Internet and noticed that some words are filled in with spaces and etc., it's because your browser did not view it at the right width. Save the guide and open it up with WordPad (recommended). Click File, then Page Setup. At the section where they put Margins (inches), look for Right and type 0.8" in it. That way, you could view this guide neatly as it is meant to be! ------------------------------------- [1.5] Review ------------------------------------- I caught my eye on this game as the game stated, ''Very different feeling for strategy RPG'' and I spend my money on it, thinking it will be a good change after playing Worms 2 and other strategy-based RPG for a long time. At least, all RPGs I played before are definitely good and last for a long time though some RPGs such as Final Fantasy Mystic Quest and is two times better than Icarus: Sanctuary of the Gods. The title itself sounds incredibly stressed out. The developer wanted to make the game looks cool and sophisticated but ends up making the RPG terrible. Graphics - 7 Despite all the hype that it has fantastic 3D modeling and realistic graphics, it don't have the real feel to it, whether 'cartoony', realistic, plain-looking or not. Not to mention that it does not have nice graphics though I guess they just fit into a game like this. Lightning, smoke, fire, water and all other elements in this game looks perfectly stupid. The so- called detailed characters are not true at all as they look horrible. The enemies just look quite like mud-ghost haunting around the dungeons, not even realistic as this game had bragged about. The background itself did not even enhance anything towards the graphics but make the game even worst. I don't know whether the developers are just too lazy to create beautiful graphics or just plain lazy. Just to say that I'm not criticizing, this game could be one of the best RPG if the developers are more concern and take more initiative to upgrade Icarus to a better game. The FMV sequences are certainly better than the graphics in the game but sadly enough, there are only two or three such cut-scenes that you can see. One at the beginning and one at the end when you finished the game. I just prefer the FMV sequences most of all but still, they could be much better and can be improved. The characters themselves look odd with odd names. Music - 8 The background music that is played throughout the game is definitely original. They're pleasant to hear and most music comes through in the right time and right situations. The sound effects are not really that great but just nice for this game. Example, the sound of lightning doesn't really sound very real but at least, they add something to Icarus. Gameplay - 7 An original feature in this game is to have a new type of system, Class Up and the usual one, Level Up. The levels will have some sort of relation to the Class Up system because certain classes that your characters will obtain are based on the levels that you are now. Although that is a nice feature, this game can be your worst and hardest game you've ever played. You need to think and spend you money wisely because the only way to defeat enemies and bosses are to have the right equipment, shields, accessories and other stuffs, other than having a high level. Let say if you have spent all your money buying items but less on weapons, you're 100% risked that you will lose in a battle because the more powerful your weapons are, the better chance and faster you'll win a battle. Every battle you're engaged in, it will be noted (well, all battles here must be entered, no secret battles or such) and there are more than 50 such battles. Even the battle system is quite original and unpopular as most RPGers may never heard of it before. This battle system will have square boxes around the whole area and you can be in dungeon, forests, city and all sorts of places. The treasure boxes which contain important items and weapons will be in the battle instead of outside of the battle. The magic system uses MP (Magic Power) which usually consists of lightning attacks, fire, water and the rest. Some magic have 'summon-type' from Final Fantasy VII which calls the demon from hell, king of lightning and etc. to come and join the battle with you (the person that you have called are controlled by the computer. You can also expect healing powers later on by one of the characters, Lydia. Now, the special attack will use your HP (Health Points) and you have to be careful using it or end up easily killed. The special attacks are certain much more powerful than magic so use them when you are in tight situations. Other than that, you're mostly in battles, battles and more battles. You'll fight with pirates, human, soldiers, archers, gnomes, monsters and when the whole game is focused only on battles, you will see how boring it is. Story - 8 The story is about Dreus, the main character to avenge against his closest friend's death, Guile after Colias, a wizard killed him and destroyed the Coshark Mercenary (what a name!). Helena, his fiancée, together with his other friends joined the Mercenary and promised to rebuild it. This story is mostly about tragedy and it's a pretty exciting story line. Replay Value - 5 What replay value? This game is so terrible that I would dearly give it a 1 and the replay value is certainly out of the game. As the game is difficult, added with astonishingly dumb graphics, you won't spend your time replaying all over again a game like this, provided it has special features that will keep you tuning over. Overall - 6 As we approach to more advanced year and new millenium, you can certainly consider this game worthless to buy as super-advanced graphics truly beat this game a hundred times. You better spend your money on other games as Icarus is a real disappointment. Sanctuary ----- - Cool Class Up system. - Nice soundtrack music. - Unique square battle system. Icarus ----- - Boring to play after you complete the game. - Simply terrifying graphics! - I repeat, simply terrifying graphics! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ <2> About the Characters <2> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ This section is created to know more about the main characters of Icarus. ------------------------------------- [2.1] Dreus ------------------------------------- Age: 23 Blood Type: O Talent: Knight Weapon: Swords Dreus is quite famous in Inashus Kingdom as the leader of Coshark Mercenary.

Note that I too have difficulty on defeating some enemies. If you know how to defeat enemies that I have not wrote down, please e-mail to me at clementchan@pd.jaring.my . You will be credited. Also, sometimes I may give some advice what to buy equipments and sometimes not. Just plan carefully what to buy and you will end up sucessful. The adventure begins as Colias destroyed the Coshark Mercenary. Guile was killed by Colias but Dreus escaped. After that, the next scene showed Helena and Recardo. Dreus came in and fainted. Later on, after some conversations and scenes, Recardo gave them 1500 dinas (dinas is the currency) and both of them set off. Then, Goblins came near them and wanted to kill Dreus and Helena. So, the Battle 1 begins. ------------------------------------- [6.1] Battle 1 ------------------------------------- There are 4 treasure chests here altogether. They have Cab, 3 Lemons, Short Sword and 2 Powders. Try and get all of them on your way. Be warned, if you kill all enemies before getting the treasure chests, you'll automatically go to the next part. The Goblins are a bit easy. Just attack them with normal attacks, special attacks and magics. ----- After that, they'll arrive at the village Inerheim. Go to the weapon shop and buy a Robe for Helena. Be sure to equip the Cab for Dreus. You may also sell the 1 Short Sword. Among all the houses, there will be one clickable. It is located north of the well. Enter that door to meet Mrs. Guwen. She will talk for a while and give them 2 Red Wines. Exit the village by going to an opening at the fences. You'll arrive at Padran. You may want to buy Flamberge, Staff and Leather for both of them. Go to the house right of the mine cart to talk to Kejal. Now, head to the mine cart to start Battle 2. ------------------------------------- [6.2] Battle 2 ------------------------------------- This battle is a bit easy with the help of Mr. Guwen. There are three treasure chests here that contains 3 Pills, 3 Powders and 3 Blue Lemons. To get all of them, try not to kill all the enemies. Leave some alone and they'll keep following you. About the enemies, don't worry. You may not kill all of them if you want; Mr. Guwen will finish them all. Unless you want to build up your level, then kill the enemies. ----- After defeating the beasts, Kejal will come out and speak to them. As a reward, he give Dreus and Helena 1000 dinas. Mr. Guwen will speak to them and give Helena the sorcery book. Then, exit the village. At Tursha, you'll come across the Orcs. Argon will come out from the inn and help them. After some talkings, the Battle 3 starts. ------------------------------------- [6.3] Battle 3 ------------------------------------- There are three treasure chests that contains 400 Dinas, 400 Dinas and Open Helm. Once you get the Open Helm, you may want to give it to Dreus. Give the Cab to Helena. To get all the treasure chests, try not to kill all enemies. Kill some that get on your way. The battle is a bit easy. Just use normal attacks, special attacks and magics. ----- Later, Argon will tell them about a reward from King Yulian. Go out from the village Tursha to go to Regal. Here, buy Saber for Dreus and Power Staff and Ring of Sun for Helena. Go to the castle to meet King Yulian. You'll need to find Tarsha in the Tower of Winds. ------------------------------------- [6.4] Battle 4 ------------------------------------- In Battle 4, the monsters will be a bit tough. Use Special Attacks and Magics on the ghosts. Normal Attacks won't work. To get Flamberge, 300 dinas and 500 dinas, try and get them on your way. ------------------------------------- [6.5] Battle 5 ------------------------------------- This battle is almost the same as Battle 5 except that the enemies is a bit stronger. There are three treasure chests. Each of them contain 500 dinas, Leather Armor and Ring of Fight. Just get them on your way. ------------------------------------- [6.6] Battle 6 ------------------------------------- Battle 6 is the battle between the three and Tarsha. There are only two treasure chests located in separate ways. To get 500 dinas and Scimitar, use 2 characters to get them while leaving 1 character alone. If your attack is strong, just rest and don't bother to attack Tarsha until the two treasure chests is collected. If your attack is weak, attack Tarsha until he is almost dying. ----- After defeating Tarsha, he'll give you the scale and disappear. Then, you'll go to Regal. This time, SPEND all your money on weapons and shields. If there are money remainding, you may want to buy items or wines. After spending, go and meet the king. The group will give the King the scale, receive 5000 dinas and went off. Then, the royal guards will come and take them off to jail. They will also take all of the remainding money (that's why earlier, I told you to spend ALL of the money). Pares will come and rescue them but spotted by the guards. ------------------------------------- [6.7] Battle 7 ------------------------------------- To get 2000 dinas, 500 dinas, 500 dinas, Power Staff and 300 dinas, form 2 groups (consisting 2 members in each) and set off in a different direction. The enemies will be a bit hard. Just use Special Attacks and Magics whenever possible. ----- After that, they will be spotted again by Idos. Lydia will come and help them. ------------------------------------- [6.8] Battle 8 ------------------------------------- There are treasure chests that contain 500 dinas, 1000 dinas, Dokyu Bow and 3 White Wines. To get them, form 2 groups again and get them in separate ways. Idos is a bit hard. If you have problems defeating him, just wait until Lydia come to defeat him. ----- After that, Idos will run away. Lydia will invite them to Sebire to ask them for help. Keros, father of Lydia will speak to them. Then, you may want to buy Red Robe and Ring of Magic for Helena. ------------------------------------- [6.9] Battle 9 ------------------------------------- To get 800 dinas, 800 dinas, Metal Helm and 3 Rose Wines, get them on your way. To defeat Monga, the boss, ask Lydia to use Blade on someone. That should kill him. ----- Go out from the village and you'll meet the loan shark because of Argon. After some talkings, the battle begins. ------------------------------------- [6.10] Battle 10 ------------------------------------- There are treasure chests containing 800 dinas, 1000 dinas and 1000 dinas. To get them, just move a character that have 'Class Up' to get all treasure chests. Be sure to move the group near him so when there is any trouble, the group can rescue him or her. C'share may be a bit hard since he'll keep on run away. Just use the most powerful Special Attacks and Magics and he'll lose. Lydia will then join Coshark. ----- Once you arrive at Rebens, I recommend that you buy the Curse Sword, Ring of Wind and Necklace of Land. Then stay at the inn. Idos and C'share will come out to battle with you. ------------------------------------- [6.11] Battle 11 ------------------------------------- To get the powerful Mabel Sword, 800 dinas and 2 Rums, head right at the beginning while destroying enemies. The loan shark and Idos is easy for now. Just keep on using magics and Special Attacks. The magicians may be Confused but on a random occasions. After that, the Captain will give you life on the ship for free. On the way, the ship are conquered by pirates. After Helena attacked the pirate, the battle begins. ------------------------------------- [6.12] Battle 12 ------------------------------------- To get the Ruby Wand and 2000 dinas, try and get them on your way. Just use the most powerful attacks and Magics at the pirates and they will be defeated in no time. ----- At the harbour, the Captain will thank you and go off. Hermes will come and invite them to his house. He'll explain about himself and Raisha came in to capture him. he escaped but the Battle still begins. ------------------------------------- [6.13] Battle 13 ------------------------------------- To get Small Axe and 2400 dinas, you need to get them on the way. Just use Special Attacks and Magics at the Black Rose. ----- Then, Raisha and Hermes will go to meet the King. Dreus and his companions decided to follow them. At Robita, you may want to buy the most powerful weapons now. I suggest that you buy the Bastad Sword, Arbalest, Bullova, Ring of Spirit and Necklace of Soul if you have enough money. Head to the castle and the next battle begins. ------------------------------------- [6.14] Battle 14 ------------------------------------- There are no treasure chests here. The guards can be killed easily by using magics and special attacks. ----- Inside the castle, Hermes will meet Porntaes and just when he is about to be executed, he was saved by Pares' Sniper Missile. They, including Raisha ran into the dungeons. ------------------------------------- [6.15] Battle 15 ------------------------------------- There are treasure chests that contained Silver Helm, 2000 dina, 2000 dina and Knight Shield. Just get them on your way. The enemies, espeacially Lich, can be really difficult. Make sure all characters have high protection here. ------------------------------------- [6.16] Battle 16 ------------------------------------- There are three treasure chests here. Two of them contained 2000 dinas while the other one are unknown. You have to fight here again. Just use Special Attacks and magics. ----- Outside, they will meet a group of bandits robbing a kid. Dreus and his companions decided to help him. ------------------------------------- [6.17] Battle 17 ------------------------------------- There are two treasure chests here. One of them are hidden behind the tress. The treasure chests contained 2000 dinas and 1500 dinas. Use a character to get both. Just use Special Attacks and magics at the bandits. ----- The kid will introduced himself as Taro. As the Coshark Mercenary are going to Adeline, Taro showed them the way. At Adeline, Millen, the village leader appears and thanks them. He then needs the help of Coshark Mercenary to destroy the bandits again. Before going, buy some useful and powerful weapons. Rest at the inn if needed. Now, exit the village to reach the bandit's den. Then, you'll fight outside. ------------------------------------- [6.18] Battle 18 ------------------------------------- There are treasure chests contained 2000 dinas and Great Sword. Try and get them on the way. The enemies can be defeated by using Special Attacks and magics. ----- The village leader will thank them and give them 5 Holy Water. He recommend that they should go to Potos. Exit the village again to reach Potos village. There, you'll meet Sereyanne who said that she knows where the Tower of Death is. She'll tell them on one condition, and that is that they must join the Mercenary Tournament with her. Before going, prepare yourselves by buying some weapons and equipments. Then, head north-east. You'll see a gate with grey road outside. Go as near as possible to that gate and you'll automatically be in the tournament. ------------------------------------- [6.19] Battle 19 ------------------------------------- At Battle 19, there are three treasure chests that contained 2000 dinas. Use Sereyanne and other character to get the treasure chests. Just use Special Attacks and Magics. That should complete the battle and get 10000 dinas. ----- After that, Sereyanne admits that she doesn't know where the Tower of Death is. But, her father knows where it is so you have to go to Gares. After talking with the father, you may want to buy the most POWERFUL shields and weapons as there will be a tough battle ahead. You'll see a scene about Colias, Ercanet, Yulian and Pornteas. Then, you'll see the Coshark Mercenary ready to battle against the imposter King Yulian and King Pornteas. ------------------------------------- [6.20] Battle 20 ------------------------------------- This may be the toughest battle. To get the 2 treasure chests that contain 4000 dinas, get them on your way. Use the most powerful attacks and magics. Be sure to have a very high defense here. ----- Then, Dreus and his friends will arrive at Berhims. You'll need to solve the A.M.D.R. puzzle here. Before going anywhere, you may want to buy the most powerful weapons and armors here too. If you don't have enough money, try selling old equipments and items. If you speak to the villagers, you'll notice that the beginning of their talk begins with A or M or D or R. Speak to the villagers in order and that should complete the puzzle. If you're still confused, I'll tell you how. If you speak to a villager, his beginning of speech is A.M.D.R. The next villager will use the word 'Mmmm...' The third villager will use the word 'Damn' and then 'RALF'. If you speak them in order, you should complete the puzzle. Then, they will be transported to the Tower of Death. ------------------------------------- [6.21] Battle 21 ------------------------------------- Another tough battle. Make sure you have a very HIGH defense here. To get 5 Cognae, 5 White Lemons and 10 Meats, try getting them on the way. ------------------------------------- [6.22] Battle 22 ------------------------------------- Another battle. To get 5 Armagnacs, 10 meats and 10 White Lemons, get them on the way. You should have very powerful Special Attacks and Magics by now. Use them. ----- At last, Dreus met Colias. Just as they are starting a battle, Recardo appears! ------------------------------------- [6.23] Battle 23 ------------------------------------- The battle between Colias begins! There are no treasure chests here. With Recardo's help, this battle should be easier. Just use Special Attacks and Magics. ----- After that, Colias will be defeated. The five Gods appear, including Pesues, the God of Creation. The Gods talk to the group and tell them that they have to defeat Ercanet. They also tell that they are Droiyan, the representative of them. When they become Droiyan, they will Class Up and will have the Droiyan weapons and shields. The next scene shows the scion betraying Ercanet. ------------------------------------- [6.24] Battle 24 ------------------------------------- The next battle is between the God of Desire, Ilamas and the Droiyans. Again, there are no treasure chests here since you don't need them anymore. Just keep on using the character's Droiyan's power. Don't use them to much. ------------------------------------- [6.25] Battle 25 ------------------------------------- There, you have to fight against the God of War, Yaros. Just use the Droiyan's power. ------------------------------------- [6.26] Battle 26 ------------------------------------- The next battle shows the God of Destruction, Merdeka. Keep on use Special Attacks and Magics if you are low on HP. If you're not, use the Droiyan's power. ------------------------------------- [6.27] Battle 27 ------------------------------------- The next battle is against the God of Jealousy, Coronia. Use the Droiyan's power again. ----- After defeating them, the scion appears and turns out to be Guile, Dreus' friend! It turns out to be a plan to kill Dreus. Then, the final battle begins! ------------------------------------- [6.28] Battle 28 ------------------------------------- The final battle! Guile can be an easy enemy if you keep using Special Attacks and Magics. Keep your HP to full now. Use items to cure. Good Luck! ----- After the final battle, Guile realized that they are the true Droiyan. He asked Dreus to bury him at a place where they used to play. Dreus agreed. The next FMV shows Dreus burying Guile. Dreus, Helena and the rest sparkled and fly off to the sky. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ <7> Cheats <7> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ There are only three cheats I know. I got it from http://www.game-club.com/ If you type correctly, a message 'cheat enable' should appear. In a battle, before you attack an enemy with magic or other attacks, type 'baby' without the commas to kill an enemy immediately. Before attacking, type 'waac' to preserve your HP & MP. Even when an enemy attack you, your HP will still maintain. Before attacking with attacks or magics, type 'upup' so that you can Level Up immediately. I got the cheat below from Al Amaloo of http://vgstrategies.com/ This 'jjun' cheat is unknown to me. In a battle, if you type 'jjun', a message 'cheat disable' will appear. If you activate one of the cheats above, type 'jjun' and the message 'cheat enable' will appear. Strange, isn't it? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ <8> Credits <8> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Clement Chan - (clementchan@pd.jaring.my) Me, of course!
