-----\ Foreword \-----
Greetings!
Here's our entry into what's becoming a crowded FAQ field for a great
game. We hope you take a look and see what we have to offer instead of
just dismissing us as another FAQ for Legend of Mana. Every area will
have a full map here, as well as details lists on what's important.
You won't find us typing out encyclopedias of text straight from the
screen here. Instead you'll find stats that matter, and hopefully by
the end, one of the most complete LoM sources anywhere on the net.
This FAQ works differently from how a normal FAQ does so take a second
to let me explain. There's two sections: a main walkthrough and a
quest solution list. Basically the main walkthrough tells you a
description of how you should go about your game, and where you can
trigger quests and get items. Once you trigger a quest, you'll want
to scroll down to the solution for that quest, where you'll find a
comprehensive map, as well as everything you need to know to complete
that quest.
Since Legend of Mana is such a free-form game, one set way to go isn't
really feasible. Every player will play the game in a different order.
Feel free to do things in any order you wish from our walkthrough--
in fact we encourage it-- just simply use it as a rough guide to see
if you missed anything. If you do anything differently from how we did
it and get different results, or if you feel we missed something that
should be covered, feel free to drop us an email with your thoughts
and we'll dig into it and see what comes up, giving you your proper
acknowledgement here in the FAQ.
The only thing we do is ask, is you don't send information on things
we haven't covered yet. We're not done with the walkthrough, but
we're chugging along on it, so please no "Here's an easy way to kill
the last boss" comments. Make sure it is something covered in the FAQ
already that you are adding to. When the walkthrough is finished then
we'll open the floodgates and take recommendations on everything.
Feedback on what you like and don't like about the FAQ is always
appreciated as well.
Thanks and enjoy- The FAQ Team
-----\ FAQ \-----
Feel free to send in any questions you have at this time about the FAQ
in general, or anything that we've covered so far that you may be
confused about.

-----\ Home \-----
ITEMS: 100 Lucre
ARTIFACTS: Colorblocks
After placing the mailbox you'll start in your home. Note that you can
save your game at the bed you woke up from to start the game. After
this point to save the game, you either save at small gold statues
of the sprite from Secret of Mana, or at inns being run by the same
turban-clad merchants as in SoM (a nice touch either way). Head
downstairs to find a chest, then through the East door to find the
library with all the encyclopedia books. Skip the lands around the
house right now,as they all relate to the various mini-games you'll
open up along the quest. Instead, walk down the stairs and talk with
the sproutling, who'll give you the Colorblocks Artifact.
-----\ Domina \-----
ITEMS: Bird Meat
SHOPS: Equipment, Mineral
ARTIFACTS: Jade Egg, Wheel
Things of Interest in the town:
- On the first screen, in the bottom left is a shop offering all the
Menos gear and a few magical instruments. Buy a helm and gauntlet for
now, but come back later to get some instruments. Duelle the Onion
Warrior is in the back room, he'll be helping you with fighting later
on. Mark is sitting in the chair, and by talking to him you'll
receive the equipment encyclopedia for your home.
- In the middle of the first screen is the Tavern, and also a chance
to get your first NPC, and another artifact leading to a quest. Go in
and talk to Elazul and if you choose answers which side with the girl
(Rachel), then he'll storm out, and you'll see him on the town map. If
so, go back to the tavern to get the Jade Egg. If you choose answers
that show interest in his story, he'll join and you'll get the Egg
right away. Note that if you go home after having him join he'll take
off, and it's very hard to get him back. He'll rarely appear on the
town map in Domina and ask you to join back up, and sometimes in the
tavern, but it seems completely random.
[!] The Jade Egg and Elazul lead to the "Lost Princess" quest (#5).
- Directly to the left of the tavern is the inn, where you can save
your game. Upstairs are two rooms, the one to the left has a chest
with Bird Meat, and to the right is a guy selling Minerals (which
isn't very useful right now)
- To the left of the tavern is an abandoned house. By knocking on the
door you can load another person's Hero from a memory card to play as
a second player.
- Leaving the first screen, head to the dot in the top right to find
the church and to meet Inspector Boyd. You can go inside to hear a lot
of gossip about the world from the Reverend. Ask through all the
topics, espically Townsmen, then Others, then Meimei to get the
Produce Encyclopedia.
- Head to the top middle dot to find the Marketplace. For now you can
get your fortune told here, by Meimei and also talk to Niccolo and get
another quest. To get his quest, select No, then Yes then abandon
Elazul if he's with you (you can get him back later-- he usually shows
up around the church on the town map, or simply do his first and come
back for Niccolo). Take Niccolo to Teapo and after a short
conversation you'll get the Wheel Artifact.
[!] The Wheel and Niccolo lead to the "Niccolo's Business Unusual"
quest (#1).
- Feel free to walk through the West side of town to meet a few more
characters, but nothing of interest just yet.
NEW QUEST OPTIONS- #1: Niccolo's Business Unusual
#5: The Lost Princess
-----\ Home II \-----
- If you head to your house, then leave after completing The Lost
Princess quest, then Pelican will stop you and inform you that Domina
is being attacked. This triggers a new quest.
NEW QUEST OPTIONS- #2: Tiny Sorcerers
-----\ Domina Revisited \-----
- Talk to Jessica at the marketplace to get the Item Encyclopedia.
-----\ Mekiv Caverns \-----
ITEMS: Blackened Bat
MONSTERS: Goblins, Skeletons, Land Dragons, Sahagins
After completing the Lost Princess quest, head back into the Mekiv
Caverns, and you'll find that the two Boinks that were placed in the
caverns are now located in the start room, and the paths there were
blocking are now cleared. (The rooms in question are C and E on the
map, which is added on from our first trip to the caverns in the Lost
Princess quest).

M - UNDERGROUND LEVEL 3
N - UNDERGROUND LEVEL 1
P - UNDERGROUND LEVEL 2
Chest: Blackened Bat
Q - UNDERGROUND LEVEL 2
R - STALAGTITE ROOM
S - UNDERGROUND LEVEL 2
Now you may be thinking: 'What was the point of that?', but this is
an excellent place for both experience and lucre, by killing the new
monsters here. Also, you have Goblins which are dropping Earthsplitter
(a 2H axe that's 3 times more powerful then anything you have now,
doing sick sick damage, it also adds +3 to Defense), and the Skeletons
drop Wishbones (an amulet that is +4 Magic Defense and +3 Luck). Not
to mention, the huge overstock of Earthsplitters can be sold for 300
lucre a piece back in Domina.
Once you've completed Niccolo's Business Unusual, you can return to
Luon Highway to access areas that were blocked off at point H by a
Boink before. The only real point of note is that Gaeus the first
Wisdom (of Earth) is here. After talking to him, he'll mention a tree
around your Home, which will trigger a quest you can complete there.

Duelle can still be found here, and now the Boink that was once
blocking the road at H is now here.

N - [NAMELESS]
Chest: Needle
Chest: Blackened Bat
O - [NAMELESS]
Chest: Angry Eye
Chest: Poison Fang
Q - [NAMELESS]
Chest: Grave Dirt
-----\ Home III \-----
After talking to Gaeus at the Luon Highway, go to your Home, then head
South out the front door a screen (not down the stairs). You'll do
some "weeding" (a small fight with 4 Lullabuds), then it will activate
the Backyard Orchards mini-game (see the mini-game section), introduce
you to Trent, and trigger a new quest.
NEW QUEST OPTION- #56: Mana Orchard
-----\ Domina III \-----
Some new happenings after you complete Quests #1 and #5
- If you completed the Luon Highway after the Lost Princess quest, you
saw Pearl on the Luon Highway, getting herself lost again. (If not you
can go find her there now). Elazul will be here grilling poor Rachel
in the tavern about where she's lost at this time.
- Sandra is in the top left room at the inn. She asks about if you
found Pearl or not, then is gone the next time you go in.
- Daena is in the bottom right room of the inn. If you answer Yes,
then Lives Forever, you trigger the quest "Wisdom of Gaeus" and she
joins the force. If you answer the opposite, she takes off, and miss
the quest.
[!] This leads to the Wisdom of Gaeus quest (#3)
- Diddle takes off on Cappella at the town square. If you go to the
west end, then come back, Cappella will ask you if you've seen him and
take off searching himself. Head to the inn and you'll see Cappella
accusing Miss Yuka of being a kidnapper, thanks to a rumor from a
Sproutling outside the inn. He then runs off to get a stamp in order
to get the attention of Pelican. Head to the west side of town again
and Pelican will take off with Cappella, triggering a new quest.
[!] This leads to the Diddle's Mail quest (#6)
- At the far west side, where you fought Bud and Lisa, you'll find
Duelle and trigger the Monster Corral quest, which will open the
corresponding mini-game.
[!] This leads to the Monster Corral quest (#57)
NEW QUEST OPTIONS- #3: Wisdom of Gaeus
#6: Diddle's Mail
#57: Monster Corral
-----\ Lumina \-----
SHOPS: Equipment, Gem
Use the Firefly Lamp artifact to create Lumina.
There are two dots you can follow, and a few interesting things here:
- On the left side, you'll find Diddle and Cappella if you completed
Diddle's Letter quest. You'll also find an Equipment shop here that
specializes in Iron items, and meet some new characters.
- On the right side, first screen (Bright Moon Alley), you'll find a
Gem Shop that has a save point inside.
- Heading Northeast from there (Morning Moon Alley), go up the stairs
in the back and enter the Lamp Shop, where you'll be introduced to
Monique and Gilbert. Monique is going bankerupt and needs to sell 6
more lamps, and the enamoured Gilbert takes her up on the challenge
triggering a new quest.
- Leaving Monique's store, Gilbert of course pawns the job of selling
half the lamps on to you. Depending on how you answer you can either
buy them outright at 1000 lucre a pop, or otherwise you get the lamps
to sell yourself to someone else.
- Head back to the left side to run the Faeries' Light quest, details
are in the Quest Walkthrough sections.
- Return here after finishing the Faeries' Light quest and head right
to Bright Moon Alley to meet Pokiehl, another of the Seven Wisdoms.
He'll ask you something about travelling to the underworld, and no
matter what you answer will take off right after. This will have an
effect later on however.
NEW QUEST OPTIONS- #30: Faeries' Light
-----\ Gato Grottoes \-----
ITEMS: Moss, Aroma Oil
SHOPS: Equipment, Mineral
Use the flame artifact from Niccolo's Business Unusual to create the
Gato Grottoes.
Upon entering Gato Grottoes for the first time, you can travel either
westward or northward on the town map. If you try to move to the west
you'll be stopped by one of the town's many nuns, telling you that
cannot pass. You'll be able to pass later, obviously. With that
said, go northward on the town map. You'll arrive at the town's
entrance, and when you talk to the nun and the Sproutling with stomach
pain, quest #23 begins, The Flame of Hope.
[!] This leads to The Flame of Hope quest (#23)
- The item shop can be entered from the town's entrance, and here
you'll meet Alex, a gem hunter from Geo. He'll ask you if you're
looking for gems. The shop specializes in Iron weapons. There is also
a save point in here.
- Exiting the shop, you can find the girl who sells minerals wandering
on the same screen, near the top. Continue going northward.
- You'll arrive at the Pathways, where you'll be introduced to Rubens,
who claims to be the fire-keeper. Rubens asks if you've seen anything
suspicious, and you can tell him nothing or mention the Sproutling.
After that, you can ask him about various topics of interest.
- From the Pathways where Ruben is, go towards the right to reach the
Cliff Terrace. Here you'll find the nun and Sproutling with a hurt
tummy again. Follow the conversation, then exit the area to follow
the two of them.
- At the Pathways again, you should go left this time, and you'll
arrive at the Temple of Healing. Once inside, you'll find a injured
nun, who mentions the odd Sproutling. Inspector Boyd will come onto
the scene, claiming the Sproutling is in fact Sandra, the jewel thief.
At this point you can return to the Cliff Terrace to conclude this
chase, but I recommend exploring the temple to find the two treasure
chests, containing Moss (on the right side), and Aroma Oil (on the
left). Daena can also be seen in the temple, but nothing important
comes of it.
- Head back to the Terrace to see another scene with Rubens, the nun
and the sproutling. Back to the temple shows that a nun has been hurt,
which of course brings Inspector Boyd on the case as he's finally
found his crime.
- When you return to the Cliff Terrace, some fairly important plot
points are revealed, and Rubens meets his demise at the hands of the
so-called nun. Boyd again wanders onto the screen, telling you
to search the outskirts of the town for Sandra. Now you can get
past the nun I mentioned at the beginning, on the southwestern part
of the town map. Head there to do quest #23.
NEW QUEST OPTIONS- #23: The Flame of Hope

NOTE: These quests are sorted based on the number listings in Li'l
Cactus' Diary, which he writes in from your bedroom at Home, if you
return there after every quest.
-----\ #1. Nicollo's Business Unusual \-----
LOCATION: Luon Highway
TRIGGER: Talk to Nicollo then Teapo in Domina
COMPLETE: Defeat Mantis Ant
ITEMS: Ear of Wheat, Greenball Bun, Tako Bug, IronPot, Odd Meat
ARTIFACTS: Flame, Medallion
MONSTERS: Rabites, Chocobos, Spiny Cones, Chobin Hoods, Dendens,
Lullabuds, Stinger Bugs
BOSS: Mantis Ant
OPTION: If you don't take Nicollo along, he'll run up at the end to
give you your reward. You also won't find Daena along the path (you'll
see her later though).

Notes:
A - ENTRANCE TO LUON HIGHWAY
Duelle can be found here with game pointers. After the
quest has been completed, Boink can be found here and he'll
warp you to H.
B - MAIN ROAD
C - FORK
Chest: Ear of Wheat
D - THE GREAT RIFT SIDE
F - LORANT TABLELAND
Boss: Mantis Ant
You'll run into bandits here, and they'll call their boss if you
give them candy or money.
G - [CHARACTER'S NAME] CANYON SIDE
H - FORK
Everyone's favorite warping hippo Boink can be found here,
waiting to warp you to A
I - [CHARACTER'S NAME] CANYON SIDE
Chest: Odd Meat
J - GAEUS THE EARTH
Gaeus the Earth, one of the Seven Wisdoms, is found here.
BOSS FIGHT - Mantis Ant
Attacks: Claw Slash
Spinning Claw
Spinning Claw with shockwave blast
Shoots snot out of nose-like area (or something) ^_^
There's very little strategy involved in beating the Mantis Ant. Use
your quick attacks and throw in a few special techniques for good
measure. He'll go down quick and easy.
After you defeat him, Niccolo will thank you (or if you don't have him
along, he'll show up and thank you), and end up giving you three items
a Greenball Bun, a Tako Bug, and an IronPot, along with two artifacts,
the Flame and Medallion.
LOCATION: Domina
TRIGGER: Clear Quest #5, return home and talk to Pelican
COMPLETE: Defeat Bud and Lisa
Head to the far west in Domina, past where Pelican is delivering the
mail, and you'll find Bud and Lisa. They are two amateur sorcerers who
are up to no good, pestering poor Pelican with pumpkins. Walking up to
them starts a mini-boss fight, which again is easy (espically if you
have Earthsplitter from above). The only thing to watch out for is
if you see Bud go to cast his Gnome-class spell, then to run behind
him to avoid the falling rocks.
After the fight, Bud will request to become your apprentice. If you
approve, they start living in your home. If you don't approve... they
show up there later in the game anyway.
Talking to them results in them asking you to take them with you. Bud
wants to go see the Seven Wisdoms (triggers a quest), and Lisa just
wants to tag along for now. You can take one or the other, or neither.
NEW QUEST OPTIONS- ###: Seven Wisdoms
-----\ #3. The Wisdom of Gaeus \-----
LOCATION: Luon Highway
TRIGGER: Talk to Daena at the Domina Inn and say 'Yes' then 'Live on
forever'
COMPLETE: Take Daena to Gaeus
OPTIONS: You can do this quest with or without Elazul (if you make
him leave by going home). This will change the text at the end of this
quest between you, Elazul and Pearl, but it doesn't SEEM to effect
any of the quest. We'll update later if we hear any differently.

BOSS FIGHT - Du'inke
Attacks: Kick
Axe Slash
Axe Throw
Smashes ground with axe, stalagmites fall from ceiling
Breathes in, then exhales out in front of him
This fight is actually ridiculously simple. All of his attacks shoot
straight in front of him, so simply stay behind him and wail away
with combos, and special techniques when able. He'll go down quickly.
After the fight, you'll meet Pearl in a conversation, and she'll give
you the Stone Eye and Firefly Lamp artifacts.
NEW AREA: Lake Kilma (from Stone Eye - Triggers quest)
Lumina (from Firefly Lamp)

Notes: (In the order you must complete them in)
H - Cappella finds Diddle's letter here and tries to read it.
He reads the letter and wanders off
L - Diddle's here, and asks if Cappella read the letter. If you put
'no' then they walk off as friends.
A - Cappella and Diddle are here, and Diddle's not pleased that you
lied about Cappella reading the letter
P - Cappella says Diddle is inside (Q) and there's a monster there
Q - You fight a Giga Rex here. He's a modified Land Dragon, but has a
lot of HP. He's slow and only slashes in front, so keep your
distance and you'll be fine.
After beating Giga Rex, Cappella and Diddle make up and take off.
Before Diddle leaves however, he hands you Gator Skin.
-----\ #8. Huntin' Du'Cate \-----
LOCATION: Jungle
TRIGGER: Enter Jungle after getting the Medallion from Quest #1
COMPLETE: Defeat Du'Cate

Poison Powder
ARTIFACTS: Sand Rose, Ancient Tablet (if you don't have it already)

Tyrannos
BOSS: Du'Cate
A - ENTRANCE TO THE JUNGLE
Here you meet Skippie and Hamson, who are being sent to hunt
Du'Cate in order to pay off a loan to Sotherbee. You join in the
fray upon hearing about the 20,000 lucre reward.
B - SOUTHERN SECTION
You'll meet some faeries here, and also a lilipea, which you
could use to get around without getting lost (if you didn't have
this map that is)
C - SOUTHERN SECTION
D - COURTYARD OF RAIN
Chest: Moss
F - [NAMELESS]
More faeries are here.
Chest: Rotten Meat
G - SOUTHERN SECTION
Chest: Animal Meat
H - WESTERN SECTION
I - WESTERN SECTION
K - [NAMELESS]
Skippie is here, watch where she runs for the hidden passage to L
Chest: Blank Eye
L - GREENWOOD GARDENS
A penquin will show up after you defeat the monsters and cast a
spell on you so that you won't get lost.
Chest: Sharp Claw
M - SOUTHERN SECTION
Follow Hamson to N to advance the quest.
N - FORESTED RUINS
Skippie will say there's a beast beyond Q, and then Hamson will
run into P. If you talk to Skippie before he leaves he'll mention
that P leads to the faeries and they'll teleport you to the start
There's also a save statue here.
O - ROSIOTTI'S THRONE
Roane, a penquin asks you to find his sister Selkie around the
Courtyard of Rain when you are done hunting the Du'cate. You can
reach this quest by re-entering the Jungle after beating this one
Rosiotti, one of the Seven Wisdoms, is also here on his throne,
he'll mention that you need to work together to catch the Du'Cate
Chest: Acid
P - FOREST OF THE FAERIES
For now, the faeries simply kick you out, teleporting you to A.
Q - DU'CATE'S TERRITORY
R - DU'CATE'S TERRITORY
Chest: Poison Powder
S - DU'CATE'S TERRITORY
T - SPRING OF THE BEASTS
If you come here after fighting Du'Cate or before joining up with
Skippie and Hamson, then you'll find Plant Monster Eggs here.
Boss: Du'Cate
To complete the quest, first go to L and get the spell cast on you.
Then head to O and talk to Rosiotti you'll tell you to team up. Jump
into P to teleport back to the beginning, at which point you'll find
Skippie at B and Hamson at I. Each one will ask you to team up then
take off if you answer "Yes" to them, do so with each of them. After
doing so you can follow Skippie from B-G-F-M-Q, then into the Spring
of the Beasts where they'll draw out Du'Cate for you to fight.
BOSS FIGHT - Du'Cate
Attacks: Throws fruit down from ceiling
Flashes, then slams the ground, causing fruit to fall
Another simple fight (but aren't they all?). The best strategy this
time is to actually stay close to him because he tends to shoot his
fruit out in an arc away from him. This makes it easy to wail on him
while doing so with combos and STs. The only other thing of mention is
when he flashes, he'll jump up into the trees, and butt-splash down to
the ground. Make sure you move away until he lands, then get in close
again. Fruit will fall all around, and you can actually use him as an
"umbrella" to guard against the fruit hitting you.
After beating him Sotherbee will give you some lucre (not 20,000
though, the cheapskate), and the Sand Rose and Ancient Tablet
artifacts. (Note the Ancient Tablet is also obtainable through the
Flame of Hope quest as well.)

Rises up in the air, and shoots a ring laser down beneath
Shoots spikes out all around his body
Can also teleport
This fight isn't too bad, but he does have a lot of attacks which can
make things ugly for you if you fight haphazardly. You'll basically
want to attack from the back as much as you can, but if you must fight
from the front, watch for some warning signs that he's about to use a
special attack. A few are, flashing in and out a few times (can also
mean he's teleporting though), his eye dilating, or his eye looking
around from side to side real quick. If you see any of these, back
away from him, espically if your in front. Other then that, normal
combos and STs should take him down fairly quickly.
After the fight, the captain is recovered and the crew leaves. Tote
gives you Forensa Iron.

LOCATION: Lumina
TRIGGER: Talk to Monique and Gilbert and get the lamps to sell.
COMPLETE: Sell the lamps to the Dudbears
First off, head to the left side of Lumina, and talk to The Manager
who is upstairs in the back. He'll teach you the language of the
Dudbears which is listed here as follows for quick reference:
"Dub!" - Greeting or Yes
"Dud" - Goodbye or No
"Duba" - You
"Duda" - Me
"Dubba" - Friends
"Bubu" - Dudbear
"Gugu" - All other creatures
"Da" - Light or Stars
"Ba" - Night
"Dadda" - Lamp
"Dubababa" - Many or Very
"Du" - Little
"Baba" - Music
"Dada" - Please
"Gak" - shows displeasure
"Bub?" - when you don't understand
"Dada Dadda?" - to attempt to sell a lamp
The technique here is to basically have a small conversation, answer
the Dudbear's questions here truthfully, and eventually they'll
confirm the fact that they are friends with you. At that point only
ask to sell the lamp.
Head to the first Dudbear to the right of where you learned the
language and answer with 3 "Duds", then 2 "Dubs" then "Dada Dadda?" to
sell the first lamp.
Head downstairs and talk to the Dudbear on the left walking around.
Here answer with "Dub", then 2 "Duds", then 2 "Dubs" then "Dada
Dadda?" to sell the second lamp.
Leave and head for the right side of Lumina and talk to the Dudbear in
the Bright Moon Alley. Answer with 3 "Duds", then 2 "Dubs" then "Dada
Dadda?" to sell the last of the lamps.
Head back to Gilbert and hand him the 3000 lucre for selling the lamps
and you'll see a conversation between him and Monique in the store.
Follow them outside to hear the most messed-up love conversation you
ever did see. Follow Monique back in to see more conversation, and to
receive the artifact Trembling Spoon.
-----\ #56. Mana Orchards \-----
LOCATION: Home
TRIGGER: Talk to Gaeus on Luon Highway, he'll mention tree at Home
COMPLETE: Give Trent seeds, wait a few days, then harvest them.
Head south out the door of your Home (not down the steps), after
having talked to Gaeus (he'll explain that there's a giant tree at
your House). You'll have to fight a battle to "weed" the area out
(4 Lullabuds), then Trent will appear and explain the Backyard Orchard
mini-game.
To complete the quest, give Trent some seeds, then go walk around the
main map or complete some other quests. Come back when the Produce is
fully grown, stand underneath it and hit X to grab it. Then place it
in the box.
