Game Guide

Extracted from the original game manual

This is an adventure RPG where players explore the world of Archend as Kris, interacting with its inhabitants, towns, and various environments. Players will engage in activities like buying/selling items, saving progress, playing mini-games, and utilizing special abilities like warping, rafting, and diving to uncover secrets and progress their quest.

Story

OVERWORLD

Soon after waking up at the beginning of the adventure, Kris is free to explore a sizeable area of Archend. Buildings, Towns, and Dungeons are all connected via this Overworld.

Towns & People

There are people living in all reaches of Archend, and there are a few densely populated Towns. No matter where Kris finds himself in the Overworld, there are people not too far away.

When visiting a Town, Kris can buy and sell items at Shops, save progress and recover at Inns, or get caught up in some Mini-games at Arcades.

Making a regular habit of speaking to the Archendi (the people of Archend) will prove to be helpful to Kris in his quest. They may hold vital information, or offer insight into Archend's storied history.

Warp Altars

Mysterious ancient structures are a familiar sight to the Archendi people, inspiring awe since their initial settlement in this land. Some such ancient structures are the Warp Altars.

A function of Warp Altars is discovered by Kris; they react to his growing collection of Dragon Scales. With sufficient amounts of them, the altars will activate, region by region, enabling Kris to warp back to them from anywhere in the Overworld.

A Warp Altar will sparkle when Kris has collected enough scales to activate it, and will pulsate when active. Warping is disabled in certain Dungeons.

Rafting and Diving

The waters of Archend can be traversed after acquiring a Raft. This is initiated by simply walking into the water from a smooth, sandy shore.

With a Diving Suit, Kris can also explore the depths by pressing the A Button over a Dive Point. These will transition the game to a platformer-style swimming view.

Dive Points look like suspiciously dark water that is distant from coastlines.

Enemies & Characters

Kris

Trained by his dragon-slayer father Kurtis, Kris is tasked with finding him after his mysterious disappearance. He is physically skilled and resilient, with a tendency for magic.

Kurtis

A renowned dragon slayer and Yhmszindr, Kurtis made a name for himself during the Archendi-Dragon War and is now tasked with inspecting Sealed Dungeons and thwarting the Zahnbala Clan.

Helena

Coming from a family of dragon slayers, Helena opted for a non-combative life and married Kurtis, though she still worries for her son Kris as he sets out to find his father.

Rykard

The former Minister of ARGAAM, Rykard Zahnbala was stripped of rank after a catastrophe and now leads his dishonored clan, fueled by hatred for Archend's rulership and the Yhmszindr.

Lorena

Princess Lorena is heir to the Kingdom of Archend and a form of light magic from her family, which she must master as some facilities in Archend respond only to those who wield her late mother's power.

King Charilias

Archend's current King, Charilias led the final charge in the Archendi-Dragon War, ending it by quelling the Dragon of Blackest Night alongside Yhmszindr Kurtis. He now oversees a land of peace and worries for his daughter Lorena as she trains.

Blastelle, Metriya & Genessa

The White Witches of Gonrad Forest and graduates of ARGAAM, they were instrumental in the war as discoverers of the dragon-sealing ritual and are trusted friends of Yhmszindr Kurtis.

Classical Archendi

This writing system is still preferred by many for writing with ink and harks back to an era before the settlement of Archend, often seen written vertically as well as horizontally.

Modern Archendi

Originally developed for magicless engraving, this writing system is also used in modern day print, with its condensed appearance lending itself well to its typically horizontal direction.

Enemies

Most enemies are encountered in Dungeons, but can also be found in the Overworld, initiating battles through Real-time Behaviour and Attacks that can be avoided.

Hazards

Hazards are miscellaneous entities that will not initiate Battles but will cause harm to Kris in real-time environments.

How to Play

FILE SYSTEM

Pressing the START Button (or the A Button) from the Title Screen will take you to the File Select Screen. From here, you can either start a new adventure from a blank File, or resume from a saved File.

A saved File will display some basic current information about that adventure, such as Kris' level, outfit, and gonessences. If a Golden Dragon Statue is applied to a File's adventure, an icon denoting this will appear under the level indicator.

To copy or delete a File, use the respective options on the bottom (COPY/DEL). Copying a File will subsequently trigger Paste mode, whereafter the destination for the copied File can be decided. Even Files that have content can be overwritten in Paste mode.

A confirmation prompt will appear before any of these actions are completed. Keep in mind that you cannot restore a deleted or overwritten save File.

Saving to a File can be accomplished by using a Shrine of Reflection while playing.

COMMON MENUS

Status Menu

The Status Menu is accessed by pressing the START Button when in the Overworld, Dungeons, or buildings. This menu will display information about Kris' current state, with more detail than the File Select Screen.

Inventory

The Inventory is where all Items are accessed. It is divided into 4 pages, labelled as Medicine, Equipment, Key Items and Keepsakes.

The pages can be changed by pressing Left or Right on the D-pad when an Item is not selected. Press the A Button to select an Item to be used or equipped.

Techniques Menu

The Techniques Menu provides information on Techniques, a core aspect of Battles. This menu will initially present a list of 3 categories: Attack, Magic and Skill.

Magic and Skill are both lists in and of themselves, containing all Techniques available to Kris at the time of viewing. Selecting a Technique will provide its relative power, and a description, including its Status Effects.

Attack refers to the generic Technique which is always available. After viewing a Technique's description, its animation will play out in the mock Battle scene above.

Settings

The Settings Menu is where certain minor gameplay modifiers are controlled. At the bottom is a Default icon, which will revert all settings to their defaults when selected and confirmed.

Settings typically pertain to other menu interactions and graphic details, and do not affect difficulty. For difficulty modifiers, see the section on Golden Dragon Statues.

World Map

The World Map is accessed by pressing the Select Button when in the Overworld, Dungeons, or buildings. On this screen, all of the Overworld is represented.

By hovering the cursor over certain key locations, a label will appear at the bottom, denoting the location. Kris' approximate current location in Archend is represented by a flashing icon of his head.

Furthermore, activated Warp Altars will be seen as swirling blue orbs. Lastly, a pin can be placed anywhere on the map for quick personal reference.

Pressing the A Button over a Warp Altar will bring up the warp prompt, and doing the same anywhere else will bring up the pin prompt.

DUNGEONS

Types of Dungeons

A plethora of Dungeons await Kris on his quest. Not all are necessary to explore, and this applies mostly to Challenge Dens.

These small inlets dotted throughout Archend are single rooms containing brief challenges, with the majority of them being optional. Entrances to Challenge Dens are typically harder to recognize, so do keep a sharp eye out. They also tend to offer prizes upon completion.

Major Dungeons, conversely, feature multiple rooms/scenes, and also vary more significantly in structural nature and theme. Not all Major Dungeons are interior spaces, but they are each distinct from the Overworld, with all of a Major Dungeon's rooms/scenes represented as just one small place on the World Map.

Among the Major Dungeons, the Sealed Dungeons are generally the largest and most challenging.

Sealed Dungeons are signified by their unique stone entrances, which are sealed until a certain threshold of acquired Dragon Scales is met. Not all Sealed Dungeon entrances are visible from the Overworld; some may even be found within other Dungeons.

There is also a magical interference present in Sealed Dungeons, which prevents Kris from warping back to Warp Altars. Most of the Major Dungeons, including the Sealed Dungeons, are a prerequisite to finishing Kris' adventure.

Puzzles

More often than not, Dungeons will have Puzzle Elements, though some may rely moreso on Hazards or Enemies as the main source of challenge. Some Puzzle Elements are more tangible than others, with some typical examples being various buttons or switches, special floor tiles, barriers, or movable objects.

Sometimes, temporary Items such as Keys may need to be acquired in order to proceed. At other times, Kris may be required to perform a sequence that involves little or no interaction with tangible objects or inventory Items. When a puzzle's task is completed, a signature musical motif can be heard.

Level & EXP

Levels are a general indicator of the power and difficulty of an Enemy. Kris' own level will increase as he gains EXP, which in turn increases his own capabilities. New Magic Techniques will be learned at certain levels,
