Grandia 2 - Strategy Guide (Page 05)
Below are the cheat codes, hints and help for Grandia 2 - Strategy Guide (Page 05).
------------------------
The party hitches a right with Millenia piggy-back style. She takes them into
the center of Valmar's body. From there you start another dungeon. This
dungeon is choc full of buttons to press and blocks to push. Also, while
traversing the arteries, about midway you will come across a revolving chamber.
Press the button in the center and the floors will flip. On the way to the
chamber you should have seen several treasure chests under the floor. You will
now be able to get those. Also there is a switch in a room right before the
revolving chamber. You may have to go back and press the switch before going
into the revolving chamber or else the door you need to go through my be
sealed.

--Valmar's Body--
ヴァルマーの体
After defeating the core of Valmar's body, the remains will begin to crumble
and fall apart. The party will soon find themselves on the ground, back
outside, watching as Millenia takes Valmar's Body into her as well. Once the
party fully wakes up, Ryudo will ask what is to become of Elena. Millenia falls
to her knees, confused, having simply wanted her own body. She then disappears
in the usual ball of light, Elena sitting in her place when it dims.
The party then takes a look at the huge Granas Sable, now toppled and lying on
the ground. Of course, Ryudo still has no clue how he is going to transport
it... Tio walks up to Ryudo and says that she will deal with it, promptly
transporting them inside the Sable, to what turns out to be the central control
center. Tio walks over to part of the control center and activates it, causing
the Sable to begin to move. You'll next be treated to a nice FMV as the Sable
takes off.
The party pauses for a moment, enjoying the view from the Sable. Tio then comes
over, telling them that she has set the Sable to land at Saint Heim. Ryudo
congradulates the party on a job well done, but Elena isn't so sure. Ryudo
pauses for a moment, trying to figure out why Selena did what she did with
Valmar's Body. As Elena obviously has not heard from Zera, they decide that
they will just have to wait and talk to the Pope when they get to Saint Heim.
It is at this point that Elena says that she is tired, and Tio shows her to a
place that she can rest.
As she stands in her room on the Sable, Elena ponders quietly about taking
Ryudo to see the Pope because of Valmar's Horn still being inside him. Before
she can get much further, though, a mirror pops up bearing Millenia's
reflection. She is upset, having just wanted a body when Zera does nothing but
imprison her. The two get into an argument about what they really want, and why
they are doing the things that they are. Elena begins to tell Millenia to
disappear, that she never wants to see her again.
The scene changes once more to the main control room, where Ryudo is wondering
why Elena isn't happy. Suddenly, the room darkens, and the camera shifts to
Elena, who begins to babble about the Day of Darkness, and how it cannot really
be happening.

--Saint Heim Holy City--
セントハイム法国
You'll now see a scene with some very bothered Saint Heim townspeople. They run
to Pope Zera to see what he can do. They wonder, though, how this actually
happened, and why the priests appeared to have lied.
It is now that the party lands. Townspeople run up them, telling Ryudo and his
friends that the Granas Knights are on a rampage, killing any and all that try
to approach the temple. Ryudo cannot believe this, and heads to the temple to
check it out (though taking a quick time-out at the inn to heal and save, as
well as shopping for new weapons at the general store).
Heading through the gates, you'll see the maruading Granas Knights. They attack
almost immediately. Compared to the bosses that you have been fighting, they
prove to be a piece of cake. After defeating them (which can be done in a
single spell), you'll find that they are not actually people, but something
more along the lines of what Tio is, a sort of robot or marionette.
At this point there is no time to lose; quickly head to the temple, there
you'll find more knights, along with Selena...
------------------------
Selena "Ha ha ha ha. Wait a second. Stop being so stupid."
(knights stop, and retreat)
Ryudo "Selena! Why did you order them to kill the townspeople?"
Selena "Unfortunately, I'm sorry, but I didn't order them to do that."
Ryudo "Is this what the teachings of Granas are all about? Why do you do
such things? When you revieved Valmar's body, what were you
thinking?"
Elena "Selena..."
Selena "You don't understand, right? You don't understand anything...
Ignorance is such bliss..."
Ryudo "What do you mean?"
Selena "Don't you think that this world is strange? Why is it so painful, so
ugly? Everything is caused by the sin in people's hearts. Weak
people have no power, and only rely on the Gods. Yet when the
darkness comes, they say that they cannot believe the Gods..."
Ryudo "So you would decide to kill everyone?"
Selena "Stupid humans... the only true salvation for them is death. I was
merely saving them. "
Elena "But why do you have to go this far?"
Selena "Elena... Elena, you aren't forgetting your duty, are you?
Ryudo "Elena... what is she talking about?
Selena "What do you believe in right now? Do you believe that boy? I'm
different. I will accomplish Pope Zera's wishes. That is my only
dream." (knights assemble) "Why did you make me suffer so much? Why
didn't you wrap me with your love? Watch me! Watch my true feelings,
Pope Zera!"
------------------------
At this point, you'll be attacked by yet another body part... Granas' Heart.
You'll find that the fight is another simple one. After it, Elena will do
something surprising - she herself will suck in Valmar's Heart, not Millenia.
It turns out that she was told by the Pope to absorb all of Valmar's parts, and
then kill herself to seal off Valmar forever. However, she is still missing one
part: the Horn that is sealed in Ryudo. She runs off, thinking that she needs
to sacrifice herself to save Ryudo. Ryudo follows her, knowing that he needs to
save her.
Inside the church you'll find Oro laying on the ground, dying, and babbling
about Zera and a holy door. He dies before saying much more, and the party
heads up the stairs into the holy door...
The scene now changes to Zera and Elena, speaking at the top of the church.
Ryudo runs up, asking what Zera plans on doing with Elena. Elena gets upset, as
she told him not to follow her. She then begs Zera to kill Valmar, and he says
that the preparations have already been made. The Pope pauses, saying that he
never paid Ryudo for his work, and offers to show him the true form of this
world instead if he merely follows him. The party heads into the nearby room...
------------------------
Zera "Light and darkness are eternal opposites. If there is darkness in
people's hearts, there is also light. It gives birth to both good
and bad. But this world is shrouded in darkness... And soon it will
be destroyed."
Elena "What are you saying? Why did you make us find the Granas Sable?
Haven't you already prepared to seal Valmar? If that is so, all we
need to do is pray to Granas."
Zera "You would think that. But the darkness is strong, and the light is
weak. Why do you think that is?" (pauses) "On a faraway star,
darkness and light had continually fought a grueling battle. There
are people that believe in the light, as well as those that believe
in the dark. That is why the Great War occurred. The war showed
which was actually stronger. Look, and see the truth..."
(FMV starts)
Zera "On a faraway star, there was a world of light and happiness blessed
by Granas. The people were happy under the light of Granas. But then
Valmar came. He ruined all the light and darkened people down to
their very hearts. Thus, darkness and light must fight; that is
their destiny. The fight continued over and over again without
reaching a real end. But then, the time finally came. The darkness
and the light clashed, and..."
Ryudo "What? Is this the truth?"
Zeda "Yes. The true ending was that Granas died, a long time ago. The
fight ended with darkness winning."
(end FMV)
Elena "Granas... died?"
Zera "Yes. That's why there is no reason to believe that people have light
in their hearts. There is no way to protect against the darkness.
The world will soon be destroyed."
Malegg "Then why did you make us look for the Granas Sable?"
Zera "There's no reason to think that you can destroy Valmar with the
sword of a dead god. Don't you agree?"
Elena "What are you talking about?"
Zera "That idiot Melphis... If he had just found the Granas Sable sooner,
I wouldn't have had to use you. I needed to find Valmar's Body and
since it lie sleeping with Granas Sable, I needed to find that
sword."
Ryudo "What are you saying?"
Zera "That's right. Selena accomplished her final mission. I put the heart
of Valmar in her. My goal... is the revival of Valmar! Darkness is
strong, and light is weak..."
Ryudo "If you revive the evil dark god, do you think that he'll just let
you live?"
Zera "Perhaps not. But the only way to save this planet is to use
Valmar's dark power..."
(glyphs change)
Elena "Why are the dark glyphs here?"
Zera "Granas' singing priestess. In you is the evil power of Valmar, and I
shall call it out of you! The time has come, Elena."
Elena "NO!
Zera "I will do of what you have always wanted - I will rid you of
Millenia. Come this way, my child..."
Elena "Ryudo!"
Zera "Ha ha ha ha ha! Valmar will soon be revived! Watch the dark moon in
awe!"
(Zera and Elena disappear)
------------------------
After Elena and Zera disappear, on their way to the moon, Tio remarks that they
can use the Granas Sable to get to the moon. However, there is a chance that
they will not have the energy to get back, as well as the possibility that
Valmar's Horn may revive. Ryudo is determined to get Elena back, though, and
heads back to the hill near the Granas Sable to try to do so...
------------------------
Ryudo "So that's Valmar's moon."
Malegg "It really is a frightening sight. That's the source of all the
destruction...
Ryudo "Tio! Full speed ahead!"
Tio "Ok!

--Valmar's Moon--
ヴァルマーの月
Upon arriving on Valmar's moon you'll find yourself directly in front of a
dungeon. Being as the "Ancient Magic War of the Gods" was a long, long time
ago, there are no cities on the moon. Thus, Valmar's moon isn't too terribly
confusing. You will have to press a few buttons and move a few stones in order
to reach the inner chamber where Zera has taken Elena captive. Unfortunately,
when you finally find Zera he is on the level below where you are. The
see-through glass that encases the inner-chamber is impenetrable Ryudo can't
get in no matter how hard he beats on the glass. Fortunately, after a boss
monster comes up to attack, you are able to sneak down to the level where Zera
is, but he is once again encased in an unbreakable see-through shield. Zera
throws typical garden variety amount of "you are pathetic" and "I am
unstoppable"-type taunts in your way.
------------------------
Zera (laughs) "The resurrection of Valmar has begun. Who gives a damn
about you anymore? I will rid myself of this restrictive body which
binds me, and then I shall become Valmar's will and control him in
order to make a complete and perfect world. Now the time has finally
come!"
Millenia "Whatever! There's no way I could lose to some buster like you!
What! I... I can't move. My power is... fading. I'm... I'm being
eaten!"
Zera (laughs again) "Everything is for the new world: the world as I will
it!"
Milln. "Ryudo, I'm fading!"
Ryudo "Zera! Stop it! Elena... Millenia... Zera, stop saying such things. A
perfect world?! That's total bullshit!"
Zera "Yes, a world with one single complete god to rule over it. A world
with no life or death. The day of darkness will come and go and
after that the only thing remaining will be my will. How utterly
perfect!!"
Ryudo "No!! Stop it!! Elena... Millenia... Give them back!!"
Zera "Scream! Louder and louder! Your screams will ring out all over the
world and soon they will become the voice that awakens Valmar!"
(Millenia regains consciousness)
Zera "What!? That's impossible!"
Milln. "Zera, I'll never let you have your way. Ryudo, take Elena and get
out of here. Uhhh."
Malegg "Hold on, Millenia!"
Tio "Mileenia..."
Zera (laughs) "Did you really think you could do anything to stop me? Now
it's time for you to give me all of your power."
Milln. "I'm glad I met you and got to love you Ryudo. Elena is... me.
Ryudo! No matter what happens you and Elena must live!"
Ryudo "Millenia!!"
Milln. "I will protect you... so live!" (Mileenia teleports the party away)
"...Ryudo...don't ever forget me."
Zera "How trifling. What!? You say your horn is missing? Where is it?
Well, it doesn't really matter. The resurrection of Valmar has
begun. I shall be the controlling will of Valmar."
(Millenia uses her last remaining amount of energy to free Elena and teleport
the party to the surface of the moon. While attempting to escape you will fight
3 mid-level battles against some of Valmar's new minions. However, before you
get into the first battle you should resurrect Elena or she will start the
battles unconscious. After the third battle you'll reach the Granas Sable.
However, the group seems to be in a tough spot due to their lack of power.
Malegg holds off the enemies while your party thinks of what to do.)
Malegg "Do whatever you have to. Just make sure you escape from here. We
don't have a chance of surviving at this rate."
Tio "But there's not enough power left in Granas Sable."
Malegg "Do something...anything...just find a way to get out of here."
Tio "Granas Sable, lend me your power. Please...Fly!"
Ryudo "Malegg, we gotta go now. Come on."
Malegg "Don't move from that spot." (Malegg is impaled by a Valmar fly).
Argghhhh!
All "Malegg!!!"
Malegg "You must not move..." (Malegg takes a massive swing at the enemies
clearing them out) "Raaah!! Tio... It'll be all right. I'll come
soon."
Tio "I can't leave you here."
Malegg "Go Tio! Don't worry. You already understand. Just don't think about
it. Got it?"
(FMV begins)
Malegg "Granas! This is my life's only wish. If there is any power left in
this body of mine, use it to make this ship fly!" (Malegg is now
overrun by Valmar's minions and his life force merges into the Granas
Sable)
Ryudo & Tio "Malegg!"
------------------------
In the end The Granas Sable has just enough power to outrun the exploding moon
in Return of the Jedi fashion, and crash-lands on the main planet near the
Kingdom of Sairam.

When you crash land, you'll find your party surround by rubble. Be sure to
search around the rubble for the "Misanga"（ミサンガ）because you use it to add
all of Malegg's stored up SC points back to your SC total. As you begin to
leave this area you will be treated to another complimentary FMV sequence in
which Valmar's minions begin attacking Sairam.
--The Kingdom of Sairam: North--
サイラム王国―北
When you get to Sairam, you'll bump into King Roan just in time to help him
fight off some Valmar Wangs. After the battle you'll start back to the Sairam
castle where Ryudo and Elena discuss how they weren't able to stop Zera and how
they lost a valuable friend. Following that the king calls for you in his
executive room. Before arriving Roan has a talk with Tio about "the human
heart". Tio says that she finally felt what it is to have a heart when Malegg
died. However, she said she never knew having a heart would cause her so much
emotional pain. Roan explains how having a heart makes humans "human". When
Ryudo and Elena arrive Roan reports the bad news: there isn't any known way to
stop Valmar. Ryudo, still angered about losing Malegg and Millenia, says that
he wants to use Valmar's Horn to fight back at Valmar since he isn't complete
yet. However, Roan tells Ryudo that the best thing for them to do is to run
away so that the horn will not fall into Valmar's hands. Ryudo argues for a
while, but then realizes that the others are right and that they should run
away from Sairam if possible. On the way out of Sairam, Valmar gives you the
"evil eye" in full motion glory which symbolizes that he knows where you are
and that you cannot run. You'll also have to fight one more battle against the
Valmar Yangs before leaving. Following this, Ryudo takes a swing another warp
porthole that a Yang is about to enter. Unfortunately the porthole appears over
the body of a child's wounded and presumably dead mother. The child, seeing
that Ryudo has sliced her mother, runs off crying. Ryudo then says that he is
the same as Melphis. The others tell him it wasn't the same thing and the party
leaves Sairam, but one can easily sense that with no way to stop Valmar and
Ryudo becoming more and more negative, things look grim for the party. A final
note before you leave: be sure and check out the weapon shop as soon as you
enter town because you can get some new, albeit expensive, weapons there. Once
you're finished there, you have a quick choice to make: either continue on with
the plot and head back to Kingdom of Sairam: South, or take a quick side trek
to the Bonus Area (which is completely optional), Raul Hills. If you choose to
skip the Raul Hills, skip the next section; if not, read on.

--Bonus Dungeon: Raul Hills--
スペシャルステージーラウル丘陵
This stage has absolutely nothing to do with the main plot of the story; it can
be totally skipped if the player wishes do so. That said, however, it does have
some fantastic items that should not be missed. While the inside of this
dungeon haven't changed a fraction since the last time you came here, the
enemies that now lurk there are extremely dangerous. As a matter of fact, there
is one kind of enemy that is guarding the main treasure of this stage that has
a magic so strong it can wipe your whole party out in one shot - that's
something not even the last boss can do! Called "Big Devils," they appear in
groups of 4, have a good speed rating, and like to cast Dezun, a magic that
does about 4500 damage to all party members. When fighting them, the best
strategy is to always get the first move. Then check to see which, if any, of
them are planning on using Dezun. If any of them are, make sure that you either
Cancel or Kill them; if not, you'll find that it will be Game Over. Continue to
clean out all of the Big Devil groups one by one until none are left, then go
and get all of that good booty. Make sure you get the Fairy Egg, Astral
Miracle, and Dead Soldier's Spirit. The Astral Miracle doubles the SC you get
for winning a battle (just by merely having the item in your item list, you
don't have to equip it) and the Dead Soldier's Spirit doubles the amount of
experience points that you receive after a battle (you don't need to equip this
one either). After clearing out the dungeon, head back out, take a well
deserved rest, and continue on to the Kingdom of Sairam: South knowing that the
hardest part of the game is behind you.
Enemies:
- Chameleon
- Nyarumott
- Dragon Knight
- Snow Leopard
- Big Devil
Items to find:
- Golden Nuts
- Energy Charm
- Sonic Belt
- Mage King's Necklace
- Fairy Egg
- Astral Miracle
- Platinum Feather
- Dead Soldier's Spirit
- Magic Technique
--The Birthplace of the Gods--
神々生地
Right as you re-enter the Kingdom of Sairam: South, you'll see yet another FMV
cut-scene. Valmar's power is growing, and with it, a black muck-like substance
is also advancing across the land.
(during FMV sequence)
Zera "Sinful humans, witness the rebirth of your god... and with it,
judgement shall be passed."
After the FMV is over, the party sees the huge mass oozing toward them and
realize there is nowhere to run or hide where Valmar won't find them. Ryudo
once again suggests facing Valmar instead of running. However, while discussing
the best way of handling Valmar, Ryudo says the word "grave" which reminds Roan
of something - the tomb of the gods that he visited as a young child. The tomb
is located in the "Kingdom of Sairam - South" nearby where you crash landed the
Granas Sable. You have one more chance to tackle the bonus dungeon, Raul Hills,
or you can procede on to the "Birthplace of the Gods" Tomb.
The party enters the "God's Tomb," but although Roan has the key (his mother's
keepsake again), he can't find the lock. Fortunately, seeing as this
installation is not all that different from the one Tio was at, she knows right
where it is. The party prepares themselves, and enters the dungeon.
This dungeon is probably the most confusing dungeon in the game. When you enter
it, if you walk straight you will immediately come to a stone pillar. The
inscription says:
Those who pray to the light should struggle to find your way under the
blue earth, red sun, and yellow moon. Those who merely pretend to pray to
the light but really oppose it should hide the moon and gather at the dark
side of it.
This is a pretty decent puzzle and it is fairly easily solved. Those of you
wanting a crack at it skip the rest of the paragraph, as it holds the answer.
That said, there are three different colored orbs in this dungeon: blue, red,
and yellow. You should first activate the blue orb by pressing your action
button behind it. Next, you'll need to descend to the third floor where you
will activate the yellow orb in the same fashion. After that, head back up to
the second floor; you should now be able to activate the red orb. However, this
installation is in the land of "the people of the dark," so you'll want to
follow the last part of the instructions as well. In order to hide the moon
you must de-activate the yellow orb, but only after you have activated every
orb. Simply put, this is the correct order: blue on -> yellow on -> red on ->
yellow off. Now you should be able to get to the lower level of the third floor
by using the elevator.
This dungeon holds some items that you are not going to want to miss, including
the Dragon Egg and the Wiseman's Book. Try different combinations of turning of
certain orbs and leaving others on. Once again, those of you wanting to find
these two items on your own need not read the hints section at the end of this
FAQ. Throughout the course of the dungeon you'll have to fight a couple of
mini-bosses that appear on the way to the final part of the dungeon, but there
isn't a final boss in the stage so you can use special skill moves or magic
attacks without having to worry a larger enemy at the end. Eventually, if you
solve the major puzzle of this dungeon, you'll find yourself on the bottom
level of the third floor. Upon entering the room you will meet Elmo, the
commander of this facility.
------------------------
Elmo "Granas visited this world a long time ago. His light covered the
world and that light gave the people power. People prayed to Granas
and those prayers changed into physical energy. The people used
prayers to power their world and Granas continued to give power to
the people. He never forced anyone to do anything; he let people
freely decide and live for themselves. But, before long, the desire
for power eventually led the people to make praying a mandatory
thing. In search of the ultimate path of god, the people spread
limitlessly outward into space, further and further. Eventually the
people began to stop thinking for themselves. Perhaps this was
Granas' goal all along.
"A few groups of people felt that to worship Granas blindly was too
dangerous, so they searched for and found a power with which they \
could stand up against Granas with. The power was called Valmar.
Valmar had the power to disrupt the lifeforce of living things. As a
result, people eventually came to have the power to destroy their
entire planet. The followers of Valmar used the long-wished for power
of Valmar against the worshippers of Granas. In the end, Granas was
destroyed and Valmar's main, central body was shattered. However,
Valmar continued to grow by using man's desire for power and for
destroying things. Even now his power continues to expand.
"Valmar's core is powered by the wills of men. The thing which you
call a 'seal' is really a device that controls Valmar by using the
ideas, dreams, drives, and prayers of men. Those dreams, ideas,
drives, and prayers are what are maintaining Valmar's core."
Ryudo "So, if you can control your emotions and not get carried away then
Valmar can't steal your soul."
Elmo "Yes. There is good enough reason to believe that to be so."
Tio "Well we cannot be 100% sure, but it seems possible to use the powers
of Valmar's horn in some other way motivated that is not motivated by
evil, like the Granas Sable does."
Roan "But can we really believe that to be true?"
Elena "If Ryudo isn't able to protect and preserve the pureness and
righteousness in his heart then he would become Valmar."
Roan "It would mean the rebirth of a new Valmar! A complete Valmar!"
Ryudo "Elmo, fire up the system."
All "WHAT!!"
Tio "I don't think that man is capable of controlling his emotion,
however much you want to save this planet. If you lose to the anger
inside yourself then you will meet the same fate as Melphis did."
Roan "Yeah! If that happens then what will you do?"
Elena "No. Don't do it. I don't want to see you become Valmar."
Ryudo "It'll be all right, Elena. I won't lose to him. Whatever happens to
me, I will not lose! I think that my want to protect you will be the
thing that saves me from becoming Valmar. I believe in that."
Elena "Ryudo..."
Ryudo "Elena, there's no other way. If I don't go, then everyone will die."
Elmo "The system is now active and ready to go."
Ryudo "Tio, there's something I want to apologize about."
Tio "What is it?"
Ryudo "When I saw you struggling to understand what a person's heart is, I
remembered how I treated you like some non-living doll or something.
I feel very bad about that. I'm sorry."
Tio "Ryudo, don't worry about it. Your trip is probably destined to
fail... but... I believe in you. I want to see what will be in store
for the future of the human race. I like humans. Ryudo, please make
my dream come true."
Ryudo "Roan, whatever happens to me, however terrible, you take shelter
with the others as far away from here as possible. Good luck, your
Majesty."
Roan "I have been able find something so special while traveling with you.
And it's all thanks to you."
Ryudo "No, it's thanks to you Roan."
Roan "Come back safe! No matter what, come back safely!"
(Elena runs to the corner crying)
Elena "Why does it have to be like this? I wanted to save everyone. I did
everything that I could but why then can't we be together? Where did
I go wrong?"
Ryudo "You didn't do anything wrong. Everything you tried to do until now
has been right... and that's why I am able to go - because I know
that we are right in doing this. Even if there's the chance that I
might die, I want to protect you. I want you to keep on living and
sharing your kindness with others."
Elena "Ryudo..."
Ryudo "Live, Elena!"
Elmo "I will now unseal Valmar's horn. Please move to the system's central
platform."
(Ryudo gets on the platform and Elena jumps on after him)
Elena "I want to believe in you... but... but... Please give me some of
your strength."
(pillar raises)
Elena "Thank you, Ryudo. I don't care whatever shape you change into. Come
back safely!"
Ryudo "I promise I will. I will make it out all right."
------------------------
After hearing the story about what really happened during the Ancient Magic War
of the Gods, Ryudo decides to enter the hologram-type chamber and have the Horn
unsealed. Basically Ryudo is going within his own soul to battle against the
horn...
