Scenario One Q&A


Q: Masqurin gave me the Cut Flower. What do do with this, maybe sell? Is it useful?
A: Actually nobody knows how to use the
Cut Flower (its sale value is only 8 gold coins, it's not even worth to sell them). However, I have a feeling that they're useful for something really special. The girl who sells flowers hints: "You should stop and spend some time admiring the flowers, even during battle. It may prove useful..."

HOT UPDATE:

Brent Moglia sent me the following information about the Cut Flower:

"Remember when Conrad dies? Well, if Synbios has the flowers WITH HIM (no one else), you have the option to place them on Conrad's grave. I don't know how this will effect the game but its an answer to what to do with those lovely Cut Flowers."

Sure, it's a hot and long awaited information by most Shining Force III players. I didn't confirm it by myself yet, so you might try and tell me the results! If you discover how this affects the game (if it changes anything), be sure to drop me a line. ;)


Q: Is it really possible to save all the refugees in the Switching Point battle?
A: Yes, it's not easy, but possible. Read the Chapter Three guide for detailed strategies for this batte.


Q: How can I save the Sacred Elbesem Statue?
A: You can't save it. Spiriel and her soldiers are just too fast and will break it before you reach them.


Q: And if I use the Healing Rain or Grace's Aura Level 4 to heal the statue, will it work?
A: It's really a nice idea, but unfortunatelly it won't work anyway. Also, it would be very time consuming to build up her levels so early!


Q: Can I save Julian from Galm's attack? And if I remove him from the group in this battle?
A: No, unfortunatelly you can't. Even if you put him in HQ, it will happen.


Q: How many blocks of memory are needed to save the game?
A: You need no less than 203 blocks. I know, the Saturn internal memory only has space to two save games (it has about 500 blocks in total), so I strongly advice you to get a Backup RAM Cartridge (it has an amazing 8000 memory blocks!).


Q: So, can you sell me your Backup RAM Cartridge?
A: Hey!!! NO! :)


Q: Are you going to write guides to Scenarios Two, Three and the Premium Disc?
A: Actually, these are far, far off future plans. Until my Scenario One guide is absolutely perfect, I won't start working on them. Another problem is that I actually only own the Scenario One disc, and it's very hard to find the other Scenarios and Premium Disc.


Q: What is the ideal party? What is your favorite character?
A: Well, it all depends on how you build your army. Anyway, here is my favorite group:
Synbios, Dantares, Masqurin, Grace, Hayward, Obright, Irene, Eldar, Kahn, Noon, Hagane and Murasame. My favorite character is Irene, because Master Monks are excellent characters, and she has also unbeatable charisma and charm.


Magician Masqurin
