Date: Sun, 26 Jul 1998 16:32:02 -0600 SHINING FORCE III episode II FAQ Ver 0.3 by: Grandchester Resurrection (grandchester@resurrection.com) Finally I get this CD! Thanks a lot to my best friend, Big (kamolsuwan@hotmail.com), who send me a copy of this great game. Remember, it's not complete! I just write some character's info, Game Shark codes from Asian Game Shark Codes Centre (members.xoom.com/agscc), andn Short Walktrough from Ryo (tiancong@pacific.net.sg). Thanks a lot! But I promise I'll complete this version soon... Stay tuned CHARACTER LIST : OK, this is just the first version. I know this isn't complete. But at least I wanna show you all the Playlable characters' and allies' names. Note : I haven't found Robby, Jade, and Penko... So I don't give any comments to them. I haven't write the "Join at" because I'm not sure about where I get them. I promise I'll make a complete Character List in the next version. 1. Playlable Characters Medion Race : Human Sex : Male Type : Knight Weapon : Dagger - Attack from close and medium range. Sword - Medium weapon. Has some great super attack. Sabre - Strong weapon. Has few super attack. Fence - Medium weapon. Has many super attack. Magic : Warp - Escape from a battle. Lightning - Lightning elemental attack. Comments : I think he is great... As good as Sinbios from the 1st secenario. He has same magic as Sinbios, Warp and Lightning. His best weapon is Fence. If Sinbios has a Phoenix Magic, Medion has a Red Dragon Magic!!! Campbell Race : Centaur Sex : Male Type : Centaur Knight Weapon : Lance - Strong weapon. Close range only. Chain super attack. Partisan - Medium weapon. Close range only. Spear - Weak weapon. Attack from close and medium range. Comments : Like the other Centaur, Campbell is fast and can walk in a long range. He is great! Just like Dantares from the 1st secanario. Unlike Dantares, I equip Campbell with Spear. Synthesis Race : Elf Sex : Female Type : Magician Weapon : The mage and healer character has three kind of weapons. It doen't matter what did you choose for the character, because it looks same. Magic : Fire - Fire elemental attack. De Soul - Evil Attack, instant death. Lightning - Lightning elemental attack. Comments : Good magician. I think she's stronger than Masqurin from the first scenario. Use Summoner Staff for her fourth magic. I choose Thor Staff as her final weapon. Ullud Race : Elf Sex : Male Type : Healer Weapon : The mage and healer character has three kind of weapons. It doen't matter what did you choose for the character, because it looks same. Magic : Cure - Fill HP. Antidote - Heal character from sickness. Cure-All - Fill HP for a group of character. Comments : Worse than Grace from the first scenario. He is extremally weak. To make him stronger, I use Electro Zapper as his fourth magic. Walz Race : Centaur Sex : Female Type : Centaur Archer Weapon : Arrow - Long range. High attack. Crossbow Arrow - Medium to Long range. Has many super attack. Rocket Arrow - Medium to Long range. Continue with explotion. Comments : I love this type. Cross over between Centaur and Archer. She isn't as strong as Justice from the first scenario, though... Rock Race : Dwarf Sex : Male Type : Guardsman Weapon : Axe - Close range. Has few super attack, but very strong. Boomerang Axe - Weak weapon. Close and medium range. Mace - Strong weapon. Close range only. Comments : Rock is great. Like the other Guardsmen, he is strong in attack an defencive. Rock can walk in a long range too! Bernard Race : Elf Sex : Male Type : Archer Weapon : Arrow - Long range. High attack. Crossbow Arrow - Medium to Long range. Has many super attack. Rocket Arrow - Medium to Long range. Continue with explotion. Comments : I've told you that my favourite type in this game is Archers. Bernard is the best!!! he is super strong! Much better than Heiward from the first scenario. His super attacks is very easy to perform!!! Hazuki Race : Human Sex : Female Type : Ninja Magic : Blast - Wind elemental attack. Charm - Charm opponents. Attack Up - Rise the attack of a group of characters. Weapon : Samurai - Semiliar to Swords. Easy to use the special attack. Shuriken - Semiliar to Arrows. Easy to use the special attack. Comments : Super quick and can walk in a long range, this is the main advantages of Hazuki. Especially for her, I don't equip her with cursed things. Zero Race : Birdsman Sex : Male Type : Air Knight Weapon : Shoulder - Strong weapon. Easy and many super move. Air Knights can equip some swords too. If you equip them with a sword, they'll have chain super attack. Comments : Actually he is great... Maybe as great as Findeng... But too bad, he often leave Medion's party. It makes his level low... But he might be a great and useful if you build his level. David Race : Elf Sex : Male Type : Gladiator Weapon : Dagger - Weakest weapon. Attack from close and medium range. Boomerang Axe - Medium weapon. Attack from close and medium range. Spear - Strongest weapon. Attack from close and medium range. Comments : A new type! David is good character. He is quick and can walk in a long range. He has a close-and-long weapon only. Use Spear as his weapon... It's the best in my opinion. Hedoba Race : Elf Sex : Female Type : Mage Weapon : The mage and healer character has three kind of weapons. It doen't matter what did you choose for the character, because it looks same. Magic : Ice - Ice elemental attack. Angel Mother - Summon the mother of angel. Tidal Waves - Summon a huge creature from water. Comments : I love her... I really love her. She is cute and preety, and she's better than Noon from the first scenario. Especially for her fourth weapon, I equip her with Golem Staff. Julian Race : Human Sex : Male Type : Knight Weapon : Dagger - Attack from close and medium range. Sword - Medium weapon. Has some great super attack. Sabre - Strong weapon. Has few super attack. Fence - Medium weapon. Has many super attack. Magic : Warp - Escape from a battle. Lightning - Lightning elemental attack. Comments : Well what do I have to say... He is very great!

Donhort Race : Centaur Sex : Male Type : Centaur Knight Weapon : Lance - Strong weapon. Close range only. Chain super attack. Partisan - Medium weapon. Close range only. Spear - Weak weapon. Attack from close and medium range. Comments : I really hate this crazy oldman! He joined me, but I can't control him. Fortunately, he left my party like Julian. Thanks god! I think you can control him in scenario 3, because he joined Julian's side. Hera Race : Elf Sex : Female Type : Monk Weapon : Fighting Glove - Medium attack. Has many super attack Super Glove - Big glove. High attack. Has few super attack. Claw - Medium attack. Easy super attack. Magic : Cure - Fill HP. Def Up - Raise defensive for a group of character. Magic Def. Up - Raise magic defensive for a group of characters. Comments : The only Monk in this scenario. Hera is maybe the weakest Monk, if you compare her with Ailin and Kahn. Don't use her to attack enemies, but use her to back-up the attacker. Robby Race : Robot Sex : None Type : Fighting Machine Weapon : Robo Arm - Special weapon for Robby. Close and medium range. Robby can equips arrows too... But I always equip him with Robo Arm. Arthur Race : Centaur Sex : Male Type : Holy Centaur Magic : Fire - Fire elemental attack. Ice - Ice elemental attack. Weapon : Lance - Strong weapon. Close range only. Chain super attack. Partisan - Medium weapon. Close range only. Spear - Weak weapon. Attack from close and medium range.

Continue with explotion. Comments : As strong as Heiward, I think. He is very deadly and his super attack is easy to use. Equip him with crossbow arrows. Jade Race : Human Sex : Male Type : Tank Rider Weapon : ? (Rocket Arrow, maybe) Penko Race : Pinguin Sex : Female (Pen is a male!!!) Type : ? Weapon : Baek - You cannot unequip this! Papetts Race : Human Sex : Male Type : Monster Tamer Weapon : Whip - Papetts' only weapon. Comments : A very good character... My second favourite character (first is Medion). I love him because he has an ability to recruit monsters!!! I suggest you to recruit as maniy monster as possible as soon as you have Papetts. 2. Allies Grantac Race : Horn Sex : Male Status : Squad Commander Join at : At the beginning of this game. Comments : He'll join you forever. He can keep your weapons, armors, and items (like a storage). He can change your party member too! Gracia Race : Human Sex : Male Status : Prince of magic Join at : After a great battle with red armies (who are they?) Comments : I think he is a cool character.

She won't join you. Comments : She is the one who stop the battle between Sinbios and Medion in this game ending. King Dorminante Race : Human Sex : Male Status : King of Republic (am I correct?) Join at : After you saved him. Comments : He is the king that Sinbios looking arround. He is quite strong in battle. SHORT WALKTROUGH: Chapter 1 * If Sinbios saved Garosh in battle 2 in scenerio 1, in Saraband city (1st city), talk to guy in west area of the town to get a silver ring * In Balsoma town(2nd city), use antidote on Walz and she will join. Then talk to Rock and he will join too. * If Sinbios saved Bernard in Balsoma Town, in 3rd city, Bernard is on the balcony on 2nd story of a house. Chapter 2 * In first battle, don`t kill the female officer (Boss), kill all the others, then order any one to talk to Medion, answer yes twice , the battle will stop. I don`t know the effect of this. * In 2nd city, go to the allies headquarters (not Medion's headquarters), check vase for chicken food, use it on one of the chickens in the city, it will follow you. Chapter 3 * In 1st city, one of the rocks in one of the houses on the trees is movable (just press in the direction of the rock), it will review a hole for Medion to drop down. * In 2nd battle, don`t attack Hedoba, she will join you at the end of battle. Chapter 4 * In 1st battle, save all the villagers, especially the one with items. * After 1st battle, 2nd battle follows, do not fight, immediately use spell to return to 1st city. Talk to the head villager, and answer yes, take the map in the treasure box in the room. Find the villager whom you saved (the one with items), he is in one of the house, and answer yes, to get Robby`s eyes. * Go for 2nd battle now and use Robby`s eyes on the statue found in the treasure room, and Robby will join Medion. Never kill the theives before Robby joins . * In 3rd battle, check the floating ball and get ice spell, there is one area in the water where you can use it to freeze the ice. Or if you got Hedoba, she can use the ice spell to freeze it too. * In 5th battle (2nd battle on the ship ), kill one Boss (whose HP is known), then the other boss (whose HP is full of ???) will reveal his trueself, then use the crystall ball Zero is carrying on the boss to break his protective shell (just like the battle with the Big Octopus). Chapter 5 * It is now back to the very begining city, Saraband city, Arthur is on the balcony on the 2nd storey of a house. * Use key you just get from previous chapter on the wall of the castle (The place in chapter one where Ullud and Sythesis find a tratior using a secret passage to get into the city). * In the 1st battle, kill the first guard to get a key, use the key to free your team mates, have the team mates cheack the tables for their equipments and then fight the battle. * 3 ways to get to battle 2, nothing different in chosing which way. * After 2nd battle, back in city, if Sinbios saved Garosh in scenerio 1, Garosh is waiting at the exit. If Sinbios never saved Garosh, Garosh`s brother Jade will be at the entrance. Go out of city for next battle. * If Sinbios hit Fear in scenerio 1 and got a key, Zero would have taken the key from Sinbios to save the purple official trapped in the ship, and now would come back to join you with the purple officier. The Purple officier would stay with you forever but would not be under your control, he would protect the king from now on. * In 3rd battle, if Sinbios saved Garosh in scenerio 1 and Garosh joined Medion in scenerio 2, the boss in this battle would be Jade. It would be a tragedy between brothers (Garosh vs Jade). * In 2nd city, check the pigs and all the 3 will follow you, take them over the bridge and they will find an egg, use it on the chicken in the headquarters to hatch penko. Penko joins . Chapter 6 * If Sinbios killed the small dragon in scenerio 1 in a cave, in battle 2, the mother dragon wil appear and it will causes rock to fall down and block one of the exit of the cave. If Sinbios didn`t kill the small dragon, in this battle, the small dragon will appear, and the exit will not be blocked by rocks. There is 2 items in the exit, after getting them, go back to kill the boss. * In 2nd city, if Sinbios didn`t recruit Pen to join the team in scenerio 1, Pen now will be in this city (one of the corners of the city), talk to him, Papetts will be in the bar. Talk to Pappets. He'll joins. This only happens if Pen didn`t join Sinbios in scenerio 1, if Pen did join, Papetts wouldn`t be there in the bar. There's something strange in my quest... Pen joined me in scenario 1, but Pappets joined me too!!! Strange, huh? * After battle 3, players can chose whether or not to enter the temple, there is 8 stages in the temple, last boss of temple in stage 8 is a witch. * Battle 4, also the last battle of the game, one group of the enemies is the 2nd team of Sinbios' force (The group which in scenerio one went to open the water dam), if player continues scenerio 2 with a saved game from scenerio 1, and if player trains the 2nd team too strong, I think he will have a very hard time here. But!!!!, whether or not to defeat Sinbios' 2nd team depends on the player, since Sinbios 2nd team is not one of the bosses, you can aviod attaking them. Well , hope all this stuff helps .

magic attack. Showing direction: By pressing Z, it will show you the directions to church & headquarters in new towns. Great items in the shops : For any weapon or tool shop, here's a little trick that will give you awesome items. First, talk to the shopkeeper (hit A or C). Then just mash on the B button to cancel everything (as if you decided to leave immediately without buying anything). You should result in having stopped talking to the shopkeeper and you are standing there doing nothing. I call this method "harassment." Basically, you want to "harass" the shopkeeper until he/she offers you an item (since you leave so many times without buying a single thing!). Watch out though, the shopkeeper may offer you an item the FIRST time you "harass" Anyway, if you start seeing the shopkeeper saying something unusual, stop your B button mashing so you can choose "YES" to buy the item. I have always gotten an item that is superior in comparison. For weapons, I got a better staff or a cooler axe (just two examples). For items, I have even gotten a HP rain for a cheap price. So you get the idea. I know that my harassment method is kind of intuitive, so those who figure it out by themselves get more fun out of the game than by reading this hint and ruining it for themselves. Note : It works in almost Shining game... I used to did it in Shining In The Holy Ark... But it usually works in item shop... JULIAN : (thanks Ryo!!!) Finally the big secret, remember the character who throws Julian in the waterfall, doesn`t he looks familar if you ever play "Shining In The Holy Ark", and remember a little boy asking you to find his father in "Shining In The Holy Ark", but no matter how hard you tries, you can`t find his father. Well, now he has grown up into a fine warrior and became on of the main characters in "Shining Force 3". Yup, his name's Julian.
