Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual
In this action-adventure game, players explore the open seas of Weyard to recover the stolen Elemental Stars that are being used to restore the lost art of Alchemy. After the seals protecting Sol Sanctum are broken and two Elemental Lighthouses are lit, the journey continues to find the remaining two jewels and stop the Master of Alchemy from seizing ultimate power.
Story
The Lost Art of Alchemy
Alchemy, the power to manipulate the building blocks of reality, has been sealed away for generations. This ancient science was hidden deep within Sol Sanctum, a fortress protected by the small village of Vale at the foot of Mt. Aleph.
However, that seal has now been broken. The Elemental Stars, the jewels that channel the power of alchemy, have been stolen.
The Elemental Lighthouses
Legends say the Master of Alchemy knows no limits to his power and can attain everything his heart desires. Someone is using the four jewels to light the Elemental Lighthouses, releasing the power of alchemy upon the land of Weyard.
The lighthouses of Earth and Water have already been lit. Now, a great adventure across the open seas begins in search of the remaining two lighthouses.
