Revision as of 02:05, 18 March 2009

At the beginning of the game, Randi (the main character) and two of his friends are playing on a bridge over a waterfall (Picture: 1.1). Suddenly Randi falls from the bridge and finds himself trapped by undergrowth. The only way to return to his hometown, is to find some kind of knife or sword to cut the undergrowth away ...

After you fall from the bridge, go to the south and exit the river bed. Head east and then turn south along the small path; you will suddenly hear a voice calling your name (Picture 1.2). Cross the small bridge over the river, and go to the north (notice the sword on your left). You will pass the undergrowth, where Randi mentions that he needs a tool to cut a path to the village. Continue north and enter the river bed again. Turn to the west and then head south until you run into the sword stuck in a stone - the Mana Sword (Picture 1.3).

Make sure that you stay in front of it, and press B Button. After being coaxed by the voice, Randi pulls the sword out of the stone (Picture 1.4) and a ghost appears for a few seconds. With blade in hand, head back to the undergrowth and cut it away by pressing B Button. When clear, follow the path to the right where you will fight your first monster (Picture 1.5).

This monster, called Rabite, is a rather weak one. Two hits with Randi's sword should be enough to kill it. Now follow the path through the woods (north, east, south, then exit to the west), where you will come across other rabites.

After you've killed several enemies, your sword reaches a new level (Picture 1.6). That means that Randi can use better techniques, by holding the B Button for a few seconds and charging a technique (for now, it will max out at level 1). Randi can also level up, which will increase some of his stats (most notably, his maximum HP). You may also come across treasure boxes that spawn from the corpses of the rabites. To open one, walk up to it and press B Button. Randi will shake the box and the contents will be announced at the top of the screen.

Cross the bridge to the west, head south through the underbrush, and then cross over the river for the final time and exit to the east and and you will have reached Potos (Picture 1.7), Randi's hometown, and the start of Chapter 2: Potos and the Mana Knight.
