5.MINI GAMES
*******************************************************************************************

Paolo will be using his Water Craymel skill to calm down the river.
5.1 RAFTING
How to play:
- Move left and right using directional buttons.
- Accelerate by holding X button.
- During the acceleration, you cannot move left/right.
Suggestions:
- Do not overuse of the acceleration button, it will obviously bring you
troubles.
- The safest way is also means do not use the acceleration button at all.
- Please read the rafting route details below.
Part 1
------
Rafting route:
- Departure from the starting point lays a long range. Accelerate a bit
- After the 1st easy right turning, be on a little bit left and step on the
gas. Remember to cool down when approaching the waterfall.
- Accelerate a bit on the left.
- Prepare to turn left at the FIRST INTERSECTION.
- Accelerate a bit on the left side.
- Accelerate a bit on the right side.
watch out for a rock in front on the left side.
- Left turning.
- There will be a GROUP OF ROCKS to slow you down; the 1st will fall off to
the left side, the 2nd is quiet on the left, the 3rd is a self-targeting
from the middle point to the right side, the 4th will fall off to the right
- Be on the right/middle side. Pass the 1st rock by accelerating a bit
forward,
You will be on the middle position now. When you are next to the
2nd rock, move Southwest to avoid the 3rd rock, accelerate forward
leaving the rock no 3 and 4 behind.
- Accelerate a bit on the left side. Another rock will fall off on the right
side.
- At the SECOND INTERSECTION.
It is easier to turn left.
It is also a good choice If you choose to turn right.
- Accelerate a bit on the left side.
- Turn left at the THIRD INTERSECTION 'cause there is a rock and a log on the
right side.
- At the FOURTH INTERSECTION, you can choose to take left or right.
If you choose left, there is a rock and a log ahead. (A bit faster)
If you choose right, it is safer.
- Accelerate a bit on the right side
Right turning
- Accelerate a bit on the left side.
There is one rock on the right. Waterfall ahead.
- Accelerate a bit on the right side. Right turning ahead.
- Accelerate a bit on the right side.
On the left is a rock and a log. It is a narrow space, so be careful.
Waterfall ahead. Right turning. Easy left turning.
- Now it is your last chance to speed up. Take your best position,
(A bit closer to the left side-the screen will adjust) step on the gas.
No awarded Title: ???
It seems there is no awarded title, this time.
I manage to successfully finish it two times without having any crash or
bounce, not even
once.
However, nothing comes up. It is just a side event, this time.
Part 2
------
Once you defeated Sylph, you can get access to play this mini game again. Go to
Raheans
River Pier-they have fixed it, and this time with a record of time and awarded
items.
Rafting route: First intersection - go left, second intersection - go right,
third
intersection - go right, fourth intersection - go left.
Target Time: 01.30.00
My Best Time: 01.05.34
Awarded Title: *Master Coxswain* (Kajitorimeijin)
(Get below 1.06.00! even if your time is 01.05.59)
Awarded Items: One Apple Gel for every four Red Gels you pick up.
I can get 21 Red Gels. Try to get 24.
General Notes:
- This (first) mini game is not as easy as you may see.
- On the second part, the stream is stronger. (No Paolo to calm it down)
- And the rafting route will be slightly different for the second part because
now you need to pick up Red Gels along the way.

It is time to get back in shape dude. Come on and try your best (run?) shot.
5.2 CRAYMEL BALL
Single Player Mode
How to play:
- Get a blue/red crystal to attract or repel ball. Use it to smash your
opponent.
- The color of crystal you take will automatically change to the opposite
color when the opponent gets the same color as yours.
- You lose when you get hit 3 times by the ball.
- If it is a draw game, then you will have a Final Game. Previous score will
be on the screen. This time you will have 2(two) balls rolling around.
However, if the score is 3-3, you will be the loser.
- You need to win three times in a row to be considered a real winner.
Suggestions:
- You only have 60 seconds; so do not waste your moves.
You need to aim fast, run fast.
- Try to match the ball's color and repel it to smash your opponent.
- Sometimes the best defend is ...to run fast or to stay at the corner.
- When you have the winning score (2-0 or 2-1), just tail your opponent.
When you both get knock down by the ball, it is to your advantage.
Part 1

IMEN STATION - IMEN STATION - IMEN STATION - IMEN STATION - IMEN STATION - IMEN
STATION
Since you are aiming for Luishka Station, you have to start the line from Imen
Station.
Buy the Craymel Cage (2000G) from the weapon shop at Imen to refill the train's
fuel.
5.6 CRAYMEL EXPRESS
How to play:
- There are 4 stations you need to visit and deliver a letter to each station
- The train will accelerate automatically.
- You need to push "up" button in order to execute the brake system.
Suggestions :
- When near each station, Meredy will say. "Mmm, I see it". Now it is time to
push the brake button subsequently (5 times, one by one, 1-2-3-4-5 times).
The last one should be pushed as far as the second sign board or
after Reid shouted =Brake !=.
- The other way is to push UP button fast right after Reid shouted =Brake=.
It will stop just in time.
That's it, so easy.
- And that is not all. Your actual duty is to deliver letters as to complete
the story involved. Keep coming back to Imen Station to deliver new letter
to each person. You will understand each person has his or her own story.
Finally, after delivering 3 times (without a miss), you will get a title.

LUISHKA STATION - LUISHKA STATION - LUISHKA STATION - LUISHKA STATION - LUISHKA
STATION
You are continuing journey to Peruti, but you need to get pass the Gnome Mine.
On the way,
monster are chasing on you (Hard Horns and Flying Soul).
5.7 SPIRIT TRAIN
For the very first time let them catch you. You cannot blow them anyway. This
will take you
to battles and increasing your chance of getting items as well as filling up
monster
collection.
Go back to Luishka Station and talk to the conductor.
However, you are not going to fight with them anymore.
Instead, it is the actual mini game; you will have to release bombs to blow
them out of the
track.
How to play:
- Press the X button to release the bomb.
- You have 4 bomb in stocks. Automatically replenish.
- You have 6 seconds before it blows.
- You can hold X button to delay your throwing.
Suggestions :
- No hurry in releasing bombs. Wait and check for the distance. It is good
timing that really matters. When the trolley comes near or close to your
train, release 3 bombs one by one (1,2,3). Save 1 bomb for emergency
purpose. Remember, you can hold X button to delay throwing.
- When your opponent's track is not on the straight line, you will have to
wait patiently.
- Practices make perfect.
My high score is 27.500 points.
Awarded Title: *Trolley Bomber* (Torokko Bombaa) if you can reach up to

___________________________________________________________________________________________
____
When you reach to the second part of the Gnome Mine, Reid gets bored then
Meredy will
introduce Whis -a famous card game in Imen/Celestia- to the group.
5.8 WHIS
How to play:
- Left and right to select card, X to put down a card, O to pass (and you
have to draw a new card), A to Quit.
- You need to match the opponent card's elements.
- First party to use up all the cards will become the winner.
- You lose if you have more than 15 cards in your hand.
- The player with the highest total score after 5 rounds, is declared the
winner.
- Cards are divided into 5(five) categories. They are 1)Normal card, 2)Double
card 3)Attack card 4)Change card. 5)Elements Control card(Dark and Light)
Suggestions:
- Read the cards explanation carefully. You may want to jot down some
important notes.
- Try to use the element control cards (dark n light) as your last key weapon
and win the game as you will earn lots of/double bonus points.
- Use attack cards to force opponents to draw more cards, and use double
cards to throw more cards more than once.
- Do not forget you have a chance to draw a new card and to think again which
card you should throw. If you push the draw button one more time, you will
pass your turn. Use it wisely.
General Notes:
- MATCHING is the key word.
- On your first turn if you do not have a matching card, you will
automatically draw a new card and lose your turn.
- You can use draw anytime you want.
- Every time you won, you will get a current score. It will be automatically
calculated to your previous score. For example:
(1) Your previous score is 12; your current score is +20, your new score
will be 32 points.
(2) your previous score is 12; your current score is -20, your new score
will be -8 points.
- Your bonus points depend on the card's quality points:
1. Normal card worth 2 points,
2. Double card worth 5 points,
3. Attack card worth 5 points,
4a) Single Border Change card worth 5 points (Prism Change Card and Wind
Change Card),
4b) Double Border Change card worth 2 points,
5) Elements Control card will double your winning or losing points.
- It seems that the game become more difficult when you are collecting more and
more points.
Normal card:
Use this card on normal basis (Fire, Water, Wind) in order to match your
opponents card.
Double card: (Double Fire Card)
- If you have 2(two)or more double fire cards, you can use both cards in a row,
plus accompanied by 1(one) normal fire or change ice or fire attack card or
even
a fire attack card.
That means you can throw 3(three) cards in one turn (or more, depends on
how many double cards you have). Nice :)
And if you use Fire attack card as your last card, you are forcing the
opponents to draw more cards to your advantage!
- When you use a fire double card without a matching card, you need to draw a
new card. If then you get another fire double card and you use it, you must
draw another new card. Now, if you still did not get a matching card, you
will be automatically pass your turn.
- If your last card happened to be a double card and your next opponent last
card is a match to your double card, that will announce your opponent as a
winner because you still OWE one matching element card to accompany the
double card you have just thrown.
Attack card: (Fire Attack, Water Attack, Wind Attack)
- If you throw an attack card and all of your opponents does not have a
matching card, then the (next)opponent No.1 have to draw 2(two) new cards,
opponent No. 2 and 3 have to draw each of them 1(one) new card.
- If you throw an attack card and opponent No.1 also use an attack card, and
opponent No. 2 does not have one, then he or she will have to draw 4(four)
new cards, and if (the rest of opponents) opponent No.3 does not have it
either, he or she needs to draw only 1(one) new card.
- If all of your opponents use an attack cards and you do not have a matching
card, then you have to draw 2X3(players) = 6 new cards!
(Attack card works like a multiplier. If you use it and opponent No.1 and 2
each of them throws an attack card and opponent No.3 doesn't
have a matching card, then No.3 has to draw 2X3(players) = 6 new cards.)
- If you use an attack card and all of your opponents each of them throws
another matching attack card and you do not have a stock of matching attack
card anymore, then you have to draw 2X4(players) = 8 new cards!! Phiuu
Imagine if each of you (4 players) have 2 attack cards. It can bring a
result of chain combos. Means 2X4(players)x2 = 16 cards!!! You think it
is not going to happen? Wrong! It just happened to me for 14 cards!!
(And I made Farah had to pick up 14 new cards!!)
- This one is interesting. If everybody throws attack cards, and at last (on
the second turn) there is one player run out of attack card, he or she has
to pay for it, even if the player has already thrown all of his cards.
(even if the quantity of card on hand is zero).
- The safest way to use an attack card is when you have a spare matching card
or
another attack card, just in case.
Change card: (Wind Change Card, Prism Change Card, Ice, Volt, Earth)
- Be careful when you use the Wind-Change Card. You must observe and
predict your opponents cards.
Example 1: Farah (opponent No.3) has only two cards left on her hand. She
throws her Wind normal card to you. Do you want to use your Wind change
card? (It is the only wind matching element card you have) or to draw a new
card? You may not want to use it because the game flow will reverse
(anti clock wise)and Farah will get (again) her turn to throw her last
card. Who knows what her last card to be? If she has another wind matching
card, You will be sorry.
Example 2: Keele (opponent No.1) use a normal wind card, you only have 2
cards left (a Wind change card and a Wind normal card).
I recommend you to use the Wind change card since it will force
the game flow starts from Keele again. If he throws a wind card, you are
the winner.
- Pay attention to the card's border. There are 2 types of borders. One is
single border and the other is double border. The lower border represents
the element you can change. The upper border shows the element-to-be.
- You can not put a single border change card on top of another single border
change card. However, you are allowed to put a double card on top of another
double card as long as the borders match (top border match to lower border).
Element Control card: (Light, Dark)
- Use this card as your last key weapon card. (Dark and Light)
- It offers lot of helps, but it will not work when the opponent is asking
for you to throw an attack card.
- When you have 2(two) Elemental Cards, your winning/losing points will be
trippled?
Draw or Pass:
- When you do not have a matching element card and you push circle button,
you will draw a new card.
- When you still have a matching card and you push circle button, you will
pass your turn.
- USE DRAW when none of your opponents has a matching card. Use it
repeatedly when they still do not have it until you get the card you
needed.
For example: When you want to use a DOUBLE FIRE card and you do not
have the other NORMAL FIRE card or CHANGE ICE card or FIRE ATTACK card to
accompany. Use draw repeatedly until you get the one you need. When you do
that, the amount of opponent's cards will also increase every time you draw
a card. Take that to your advantage.
Won by quantity:
- If the opponent has more than 15 cards, he or she is a loser. However it
has an effect on your bonus points as every card on your hands will only
worth lower than it should be. This could bring a big disadvantage,
but at least you are the winner. (After that 15 minutes and all I get is
only
6X2points = 12 points. *sigh*)
- If you have more than 15 cards, then all of your opponents will get
the same amount of winning points.

1.Rune bottle at the city of Barole
---------------------------------
After earning the title *King of Balloons*, I beat Efreed and went to Farlos
Mt. (speak to
everybody in the church) before I decided to go back to Barole.
Remember a boy caught by the 'mean' shop owner?
Meet him again in Barole
1.At the stall near the fountain.
2.At the stall Opposite the Jewel Shop. (to the East)
3.Inside the hotel, he is infront of the drawer on the lower right screen
4.Pursue to the city entrance. He is at a stall infront of the cooking chef
You bet you are going to need those sport shoes.
5.Now it's time to get some rest at the best hotel in town.
All your hard works will be paid off.
2.Item Donies Potpourry (Doenisu no Boburi-Japanese version) in Barole
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Again, we will meet the boy. His name is Tim. This time no sport shoes
involved.
Meet him after you come back from Celestia. He is now working at the item
store. Anyway, go
and talk to him twice, he will then give you the item.
If you talk to him again for the third times he will say =Two times two is
four. Two times
three is six....=
3.Collecting Charm Bottle outside Barole
--------------------------------------
Go to the bridge outside Barole city and use dark bottle to have access to lots
of battles.
The Sorceress will drop the charm bottle eventually. This item is to reduce
market price by
30%. Not bad.
If on the screen there is more than one merchant, all the prices automatically
dropped by
30%.
It cannot reduce the price for upgrading your ship in Tinsia or in Inferia
Port, though.
Use Rune Bottle to change it into Miracle Charm to get a 50% discount in all
shops!
4.Rabbit's Foot
-------------
Get some Rabbit's Foots from Rapid Rabbit outside of Imen, outside Peruti, and
outside of
Luishka. You are going to need a lot of luck collecting rare items.
5.Smash Cape
----------
Change your Thief's Cape into Elven Cape with the help of rune bottle and then
change it
again into Smash Cape (Receive extra bonus for Technical Smash).
6.Luck status
-----------
Luck status change automatically when characters are resting/camping.
The same thing happened on the Japanese version (Tales of Eternia).
My suggestion is if you want to play a new game, pay a close attention to this
issue.
Save before you go to an inn. Always check for your luck status after
resting/camping.
Just buy all the items you need to regain strength/HP/TP and don't forget to
master your
COOKING SKILLS. It will help to restore your strength/HP/TP/Normal Status, etc.
during or after a battle.
You can always try to gain more luck if you are resting repeatedly until you
get
the luck status you desire. (For example at the Gnome Village)
One more thing, at certain points, you cannot avoid resting.
For example,
(1)The first time you met Galenos at the (destroyed) Luishka Station. During
the examination, Farah n Meredy will go to get some rest. When the
examination is over, all characters Luck Level had been changed.
(2)When you reach the second part of the Gnome Mine, after you have found the
elevator, you can not avoid resting.
My highest Luck Status is with Farah;
Normal Luck Status : 114
Equip Arche's Ribbon : 50
Rabitts Foot : 30
Rabitts Foot : 30
--------------------------
Total : 224

using the
elevator).
8.Purple Satay
------------
You can buy the Purple Satay at the Gnome Mine (before you can reach the
Catman's Village)
so you will never be out of stock. When you need to buy other food ingredients,
just go to
Van Eltia (you need to upgrade your ship at Tinsia for only 300.000Galds) or go
to nearby
Luishka station. To complete all the ingredients you need to go to Chambard.
