Game Genie Codes ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// There are two codes that are essential to this faqs. Without them there would be no need to write this. The two codes that you will need are.... 1:Walk through walls RFPT-J6YE 2:No random encounters (you'll see why later) AB6A-LA4W ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// III: Characters ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// a. Alys Brangwin Job: Hunter Age:?? Alys,also known as the Eighth Stroke Warrior is a hunter who lives in a small town of Aiedo with her student and best friend Chaz Ashley.

Its not certain that this Wren and the Wren of Phantasy Star III are of the same brand of android but some claim he isnt.

The party meets Wren on the satellite station Zelan. ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// g.

Demi had been captured by the wizard Zio who had built his castle on top of the central command center known as Nurvus. Alys and co. rescued Demi from the hands of Zio. She stays on Motavia for most of the game to keep track of the Nurvus system. ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// K. Seth Job: Scholar Age: 39 Seth is clouded in mystery.He appears as soon as you land on Soldier Island. Seth is very powerful with his dark arts and is not really useful for the time frame that you have him. His true appearence is revealed later. ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// IV. Walkthrough ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// This next section of the faq is to explain on why this guide was written. This guide is written so that you may keep Alys through the whole coarse of the game. If you follow the walkthrough below you will be able to go through the whole game with no glitches. This is not a full walkthrough of the game. This guide will only explain to you on how this trick I found will work. *The gameshark codes above will need to be on constantly till I say that it is ok to take them off.* ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// a. Mystery Under the Academy. Chaz, we have work to do! Hurry up and get ready! Those are the first words you hear from Alys when you begin the game. You begin the game leaving your home in a town called Aiedo. You were hired by the principal of the academy in Piata to discover why there has been a recent outbreak of monsters in the academy. You watch the scene and then you appear as Chaz alone looking for Alys. Walk towards Alys and then she will join your party.Walk around until you find the principal.You will engage in a event that will lead you to the basement. Once at the spot where the basement staircase is you will see Hahn another one of your future party members walking and blocking your path. Do not, I REPEAT DO NOT TALK TO HIM AS HE WILL JOIN YOU AND THIS TRICK WILL NOT WORK RIGHT. Instead with the wall code on walk through the wall and pass up Hahn and go downstairs. Travel through the dungeon. *take off the no encounter code if you want so you can gain a few levels I recommend level 3 or 4.* Advance through the basement until you reach the end. You will be encountered by a boss. Fight the monster and when you defeat it you will get some dialog. The game will keep the dialog that Hahn speaks but Hahn will not be in your party and will still play out as if he is in your party. After those events go back upstairs to the principal's office *bypassing hahn again* and talk to him for the event. After this you are free to leave Piata. ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// b. Finding Proffesor Holt After setting out from Piata head north to Mile, There you can buy some new weapons for Chaz and Alys if you got enough money, if not then just head on east to Zema. When you enter Zema the first thing you will notice is that everyone has been turned to stone.There is nothing you can do for the people of Zema at this moment in time so just go ahead and walk into the cave at the north of town. When inside treck your way through the somewhat cave we call a dungeon. At the end you will find a petrified Professor Holt.You will get another scene with some dialog as if Hahn is still in your party but isnt. Don't worry the game wont glitch up. After all the dialog you will be outside the cave and back in town. Now your agenda is to head south to the town of Molcum. ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// c. A Wizard in a Town Heading south of Zema will get you to the town of Molcum. Gain a few levels before goin in *no kinda boss or anything its just a good idea to level up a bit before advancing.* Walk through the town and go up through the gate. Eventually you'll run into Rune a party member we will need. Talk to him and watch the scenes. After all the dialog he will join the party. *sometimes the game acts funny and he wont follow behind you if that happens DO NOT GO INTO MENU it gets kinda glitchy for a bit and has a weird way of letting you outta menu,but will correct itself as we advance a bit in the game.* After Rune has joined your party do not go to Krup the game will glitch in that town for now and do not head northeast to Tonoe. The game will play out and you will lose Rune and get Gryz but you will have the opportunity to get Gryz later so dont worry about it. Instead head back to Piata. *I know this was a senceless piece of walkthrough and could have left it on the above one but decided not to.* ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// d. Onward to Rykros To the veterans who have played this game for years I bet your wondering WTF why and how are we going to Rykros thats near the end of the game. Just calm down and have some patience please all will be explained. Ok the reason I said head back to Piata is this,go back upstairs of the academy to where Chaz was alone at the beginning. Use the screenshot Im posting below to show you where you need to wall walk to get to the glitch. http://www.geocities.com/storagesystem19/RykrosWarp.JPG From where Chaz is on the screen walk one spot to the left and you will instantly be warped to Rykros. Terrific huh? Now here comes the fun part that will keep Alys with you forever. Head to the spaceport thing on Rykros,watch the event in the middle of the place. Then use the spaceship to fly to Zelan. Simple right? ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// e. Meeting Wren and Raja Once arriving on Zelan you can travel through the place to the end where you will find Wren. Talk to him and you will begin to get some dialog.Soon after he will join your party and if Rune wasnt following behind you he will be now. Now you have Alys,Chaz,Rune,Wren in your party. I bet your wondering how come we didnt get Rika. There is a reason for this and I will explain in a few. Now with Wren in party head back to the entrance.Board the spaceship and head to Dezolis. On your way to Dezolis you will be engaged by a monster. Defeat the monster and then you will be forced to make a crash landing on Dezolis.You will then crash land onto a temple and will meet a Desolian named Raja. After all the dialog Raja will join you. Now this is where i will explain myself about the Rika thing. If you were to of had Rika or Hahn with you you would of had to many party members and the game would have crashed as soon as Raja walked to the end of the party. You will be able to get Rika back at the end of the game *IF* you want its optional for this. Now just play out the game like you normally would. The game wont glitch anymore except for a few places that I will explain in a bit. And there you have it. You now have a Phantasy Star save with Alys still in your party for the remainder of the game. No save state hacking no sprite replacement no nothing. Just a simple easy to use trick that I discovered. You will however not be able to use the spaceport on Motavia since you never got Demi, defeated Zio, and shut down Nurvus. So if you need to use the spaceship again you can either go back to Rykros or use the screenshot below and warp to Dezolis. http://www.geocities.com/storagesystem19/DezolisWarp.JPG ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// V. Glitches...What to do and what not to do There are a few things that you need to watch out for during the coarse of the game because using this trick of mine will cause the game to eventually glitch if you do any of the following below. 1:Do not go to Rykros without Alys. 2:Do not get Hahn *you will have to many people later* 3:Do not get Rune without Alys in the party the game will sometimes glitch and he wont follow you or act like hes in the party *read above how to fix.* 4:Do not go meet Hahns girlfriend in Krup. 5:Do not go save Demi as Alys will die like in the normal game and then this trick will be worthless. 6:Do not wall walk to get to Nurvus. Not having Demi will cause the game to completly freeze when beating Zio. The game will pan left then up and then stop. 7:Do not meet father Dorin without Alys because the game will freeze and don't meet him anyways cuz you will lose Rune and the game glitches sometimes without him. 8:Do not get Rika early the game will freeze because you got to many people. Get her at the end of the game by wall walking and talking to the door then heading to the end of the place where seed is and then get her. *doing this trick she is now a optional character.* So far those were the only major glitches that didnt fix themselves that I found out. If you find any kind of other glitches using this trick email me *emails at the top* and I will update this faq with your findings and credit you along with it *I'll check out the glitch first to see if its true or not so dont even try to lie* ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// VI.
