Between battles:
After the first battle, proceed to the capital of this area- Shumaria.
You'll be told to go check in with the boss, do that now. After checking
in (and having a slight storyline boost), you'll be back in the town with
Diego suggesting to go have a drink. Diego is cool and all, but I say
you need some weaponry :)
I'll introduce what each major place in a town is now.. although this
will be on another page later on when I actually get around to it :P
Dojo: You go here for one of three reasons. One, you need advice on certain
things in the game. Two, you go here to promote. Three, you go here to
start a trial. You don't need to go here for now since you have me :)
That is, unless you really feel like going through some help sections.
Tavern: Mainly rumors, occasionally events will occur here.
Shop: Buy stuff. 'Nuf said.
Before you even enter the shop, equip the light sword you picked up in
battle on Clint (+2 to his attack from his current weapon).
In the shop, get all characters up to full equipment. I won't bother saying
this anymore unless you can't afford it.
Okay, even though this is in the wrong section at this
time (I'll add the items shop stuff later), I'll get in to the items shop
stuff. When you enter an items shop in Vandal Hearts, it is rather simple...
try to buy the item you want, then it will ask which character to give
it to. If it is equipment, it will list in a little box on the lower left
corner that states what stat is impacted, and by how much. On equipment,
when you buy it, it will autoequip it then ask if you want to sell back
your old equipment (if only other RPGs did that...). Just say yes when
you do, it is just easier.
Okay. As I said, get everyone up to max (Padded Leather armor for all,
correct helms for all, and a better bow for Diego) equipment and sell
your old short sword. You should have 360 GP at this point.
Now, you may wish to save... :)
Enter the tavern. Once you try to leave after talking to everyone, you
will be informed of a riot in the Royal Ghetto (I just LOVE that phrase!
:P).
Guess where you are going now?
Battle Map 2: Rumble in the Royal Ghetto
(Like my names? :P)
Anyways, you enter to see Kane (ooo! Named character with a unique portrait...
must be someone important) wiping out the rioters with the Crimson Guard
(EVIL!). After a little sequence, you are told to go mop them up in the
church. Of course, there are monsters in your way summoned by a powerful
mage... kill them :)
Reward for all dead: 810 GP
Hidden Item Data:
(04, 03) - Light Bow (L. Bow)
(12, 00) - Mushroom
Not Quite-so-Hidden Item Data:
(01, 01) - Herb
(22, 10) - Herb
Current Characters:
Ash (Level 6, Hero)
Diego (Level 4, Archer)
Clint (Level 5, Soldier)
(Yes, my game glitched... for some reason, Ash got Clint's level ups,
Clint got Diego's, and Diego got none. Ah well. Not too concerned)
Enemies:
4x WarGhost (Level 2, SkyKnight Class - 22 HP)
2x HunterImp (Level 3, Bow Class - 25 HP)
3 on 6 again, but this time you have to deal with SkyKnights... AIIEE!!!
In case you didn't know, SkyKnights are, in my opinion, the best class
in the game second to only Vandalier. They fly (meaning going over people
and the ground), they hit sword and monk classes HARD!
As my general suggestion, I would highly recommend killing everyone. You
don't have to, but it would be a good idea. This battle is MUCH easier
to get the treasure on then the previous one, mainly because killing everyone
won't end the battle. You actually have to make it to the church to end
the battle, regardless of the enemies still on the field.
Might as well get more money, right? :)
What I did:
Hero Turn 1:
Clint takes out the treasure chest, Ash and Diego advance to cover his
side and back.
Enemy Turn 1:
One WarGhost attacks Diego for 7 damage (24/31 HP remaining). Diego
smites that punk back for his life total (0/22 HP remaining) and proceeds
to get 114 XP (Diego Level Up) :) Told ya that the glitch really
didn't have much to do with it... See, the weakness of SkyKnights are
archers... the rest just move forward, and the HunterImps just stay behind.
Hero Turn 2:
There are two WarGhosts right near my party... Diego shoots the one further
away (0/22 HP remaining, 70 XP, Diego Level Up again...)
Ash moves in front of the other WarGhost and attacks for 19 damage (3/22
HP remaining). WarGhost misses his counter and Ash ends up with 23 XP.
Clint finishes off the Ghost (0/22 HP remaining, 35 XP, Clint Level
Up) and the round. All 3 characters are now level 6 BTW... which is
really strange since the one at the lowest level the previous round started
this battle with the highest level... odd. Ah well.
Enemy Turn 2:
The remaining WarGhost hits Ash in the back for 12 damage (36/48 HP
remaining), Ash returns in kind for 15 (7/22 HP remaining). HunterImps
do nothing (as usual).
Hero Turn 3:
Ash Lambert, back stabber of WarGhosts (0/22 HP remaining, 37 XP,
Ash Level Up) :) Diego grabs the Light Bow, Clint moves forward.
Enemy Turn 4:
Absolutely nothing whatsoever, both HunterImps stay still.
Hero Turn 4:
Ash moves forward and casts Faerie Light on himself (+9 HP, 48/48 HP remaining,
9 XP), everyone else just moves forward.
Enemy Turn 5:
Yep, still nothing.
Hero Turn 6:
Moving forward...
Enemy Turn 6:
Nadda.
Hero Turn 7:
Ash reaches the button, does nothing else. Clint reaches the mushroom,
Diego just prepares his position.
Enemy Turn 7:
Zippo.
Hero Turn 8:
Ash pushes the button and moves forward. Clint moves towards the bridge,
Diego stays put.
Enemy Turn 8:
They are alive! :) One HunterImp misses shooting Ash, the other deals
10 damage (38/48 HP remaining).
Hero Turn 9:
Clint slams the first HunterImp (0/25 HP remaining, 35 XP), Diego moves
next to the other and shoots it (5/25 HP remaining), it does the same
as a counter (25/46 remaining), and Diego gets 20 XP. Ash finishes the
guy off (0/25 HP remaining, 10 XP).
Hero Turn 10: (that's right... no enemies left :P)
Ash heals, everyone else... do I really need to tell you what I did next
considering there are NO enemies on the battle field? Just remember to
get the chest.
