General tips

In a new town always talk to everyone find out what to do next.
Always search everywhere (in castles, houses, caves and dungeons) to get new items and other useful things.
Keep a constant supply of mrbl 3�s.
When you get stuck to a sticky spot come back later with a new comrade and see if he or she has a special skill to help you out.
During a conversation ALWAYS note the red keywords to know what�s important.
Know when to run! But you�ll need to fight to advance levels and grow stronger.
When you see a fountain always drink from them! They restore you fully.
Save the game always A.S.A.P nothing is more annoying than losing hours of hard work because of one meaningless battle. (When you die you�ll lose money and the treasures you found but exp. and level data will be saved automatically.)
Always when you get a chance buy new armors and weapons for party members.
A new party member is usually very poorly equipped, so head for the armoury and buy new equpment for him/her.
I only scratch the surface on each event in the game, because I�m too damn lazy make a more detailed walkthrough.
A word of warning: If you haven�t played the game through yet you should stop reading now. Although this walkthrough isn�t too accurate it�s enough to spoil the game for beginners. Read only if need tips for problems you coudn�t solve. You have been warned.

Camlon Castle

A band of ruthless monsters have descended upon Camlon Castle. As the hero of the Light Dragon Clan, you are the only hope for the kingdom. It�s up to you to enter the castle and do away with the offending beasts. (Well no else is inclined to challenge them.) The monster of the castle is a huge toad. Oh return to Camlon later and there�s a festival held for you with jugglers and everything.



Nanai
