FAQ


How do I increase my defense or attack

There are 2 items that double your defense and attack, respectively. They are the Power Bracelet, found in Area 3, on the scene just before the ruined ship, on the far right side of the weird flower-maze in a treasure box. The Defense Bracelet is found in Area 2. When you release a mole named Monmo and talk to her, she'll follow you. Take her to the mole-hole in the far-left lower corner, and get her right on top of the hole, then talk to her. She'll give you a ribbon. Now find the mole who asks you for "something of Monmo's" and
talk to him with the ribbon equipped. The mole behind him will give you some cool storyline and hand you the Bracelet.

How do I do the "Crab-Walk"

Early in the game, a villager teaches you the "Crab-walk" technique, which is done by holding L or R and walking. Aside from strafing, this also allows you to stick your sword out. This is a useful technique to use against bosses like Metal Mantis in Area 1.

How do I beast the Metal Manis with out the Zantetsu Sword

The Zantetsu sword is not required to beat Metal Manis (the boss to Area 1). Here's a fast way to beat him. First, lure him to either the left or right conveyor belt. Second, crab walk (hold the L or R button) up the middle conveyor belt. He'll follow you and take damage from the sword. Third, before he attacks, run back down the middle conveyor belt and get out of his fireball attack. Just repeat these steps as often as necessary to defeat him.

How do I move to Green Woods in the Emu Version of Soul Blazer

The emulator verion or computer version has a small bug in it. When you beat the Metal Mantis, the green tile appears and you step on it an nothing happens. The Game is not broke...but you will hate me for the way that you have to fix it. You must reset the game...and beat him again.

What do I have to do so that I can see in Green Woods

After you get the bug fixed from Grass Valley you think cool...until you get to the next town. It is all black and you just see clouds moving. This is only a bug in the emulator version. Just press "1" on the keyboard and the clouds dissappear. The bug is because the computer dont know how to do transparent layers.

Guess Who?

After you free all the members of the Woodstin-Trio in the Green Wood Village, talk to the trio's leader, Billy. They will perform a magic show and then a guessing game, where you must guess which one is really Billy. He always goes to the same spot, he goes to the right. If you guess correctly, you'll receive a Medical Herb.

Where do I find the Psycho Sword

Somewhere in the Water Shrine, seeds are found after one of the monster lairs are destroyed. When you find them, take the seeds to the Exchanger Squirrel and you'll receive the Psycho Sword!

Go to basement with little metal scorpions inside a maze. Go down, go right, kill scorpion. Go up, left, kill it. Go right, up through the diagonal path, up thru straight path, kill it. Go down, kill it. Go down, right, kill it. Go right, up stairs, down again. Repeat.

3 - World of Evil - Near Deathtol's Palace

You can get a lot of XPs in the World of Evil by going to the transporter field that connects the next-to-last and last parts of it, equipping the Soul Armor, Soul Blade, and Phoenix magic, and going back and forth between the two sections, killing the three rotating metal walls on the last part, then entering the red transporter square to return to the previous section, re-entering it to return to the final section, and killing the metal walls over again. Repeat as desired -- they're worth 4000 xps each.

Location of the three Red-Hot items for summoning the Phoenix

Red-Hot Ball: In Area 7 (the Evil World), it's inside a treasure chest. You can only reach the treasure chest via the transport squares -- when you've gone far enough to see the chest in question, the transport square will appear, and you'll be able to get to it from the temple screen.
