Tips and hints
If you don't have enough gold to buy the stuff you need go to the angry sea. The fish creatures give you 50 gold, and the octopus's give you 100. This is useful because they are easy to defeat. Use the sword of fire and you will have plenty of gold.
Don't buy the Sacred Shield in Amazons. It isn't worth 9000 dollars. Wait until later in the game and you can get it somewhere else for cheaper.
When you enter the cave of styx to get the sword of thunder it helps if you equip the sacred shield.
A pretty good place to gain levels is in the Angry Sea. The fish monsters give you over 100 exp and the octopus monsters give you over 200 exp.
Equip the iron necklace at all times. It doubles you armor defense.
When you are searching for Kensu in Swan, first get the message from stom, then go to the Cafe. There will be one soldier sitting down. Put him to sleep with paralylis. Then talk to him. You will find out he is Kensu and he will teleport away. Go to the Party house and put the guy on the left to sleep. Then talk to him. You have now found Kensu.
The pendant Kensu talks about is the Love Pendant. Go to where you got the shell flute and call the dolphin. Ride around and you will find it. Give it to Kensu to learn the magic of change.
Once you have change go to Amazons and change into the woman. Give the leader the Lysis Plant and you will get the Bow of The Moon.

In the castle that is in the Town of Zombies you will come to Mesia. She will tell you there is a sorcerer in the next room. Don't go there! The real Mesia is back there.
