Terranigma WT

Terranigma  (Tenchi Souzou)

Platform: Snes (/ SFC)
Released (d.m.y):
 20.10.1995 (J)
 19.12.1996 (PAL)

Based on: PAL-version (SNSP-AQTP-EUR)



- The physical damage you deal equals (Offense - enemy Defense)mterc.
 × Offense = wATP + (7+Lv)/8*Str
 × Enemy Defense = (11+Lv)/12*Con
 × m: Attack type multiplier (see below)
 × t: Attack type resistance (1,0; 1,5; 2,0; 0,5; 0,25; 0)
 × e: Elemental resistance (same)
 × r: Random variable (0,75; 0,875; 1,0; 1,125; 1,25)
 × c: Critical hit roll (2,0)

- You can perform five different physical attacks:
 Normal    | 1,0  |
 Rush      | 0,75 | Attack rapidly
 Slicer    | 1,5  | Run + Attack
 Spinner   | 1,25 | Jump + Attack
 Slider    | 2,0  | Run + Jump + Attack

- The latter part of the Slider is actually considered a Slicer, although
the 2,0x multiplier still remains.
- The Slicer should by far be your most commonly used attack due to the
invincibility it gives you. The Slider is more powerful, but it's slower
and you can easily end up taking damage while using it unless it's a kill.
- Critical hit rate is something like (9 + Luck - eLuck)/128.
- I've listed the Offense values (without weapon ATP) in the stat chart.
However, if you end up using Str Potions (and you probably should), they
won't be accurate anymore.
- Ark's defense is aDFP + (7+Lv)/12*Con. Enemies have a minimum amount of
damage that they deal, and stronger enemies have a higher minimum (9 pod
at highest). Some enemies have ranged attacks that may have a different
ATP than their usual contact ATP.
- Blocking has no effect on melee attacks, but does negate most projectile
attacks. Doesn't matter which direction you're facing.
- Jumping can be used to avoid contact damage if you're precise enough,
not that there's much need.
- You can buy magic at magic shops. The spells are imbued into Magirocks,
which can be found scattered throughout the game. Once a spell is cast,
the Magirocks are made available for use again.
- Magical damage is (Mag - enemy MDF)er.
 × Mag = base + (7+Lv)/8*Luck
 × Enemy MDF = (11+Lv)/12*Luck
- In the end, the only spell worth using is the Grass Pin. Offensive
magic is unnecessary for normal enemies and largely ineffective against
bosses (with two exceptions).
- There is no real penalty for dying. You'll simply be warped back to the
last save point you used or a checkpoint.
- You have 27 slots for consumable items and key items, plus 5 additional
slots reserved for certain special key items. Weapons and armor both get
12 slots each, with 4 additional slots reserved for certain gear. If you
run out of space, you can't receive any new items until you make space.
You can use the Whole Hole to discard something, but you can't sell items.
Items stack up to 9.
- Healing items can be used in the menu or equipped, in which case you can
use one on the field by pressing the Item button. The items are:

 S.Bulb      |  20 HP     P. Cure     | Poison
 M.Bulb      |  70 HP     Stardew     | Curse
 L.Bulb      | 150 HP     Serum       | Deadly Poison
                          H.Water     | Death Sentence (+ 10 HP)
 GrassPin (M)| 100% HP    WindPin (M) | All

- Status ailments:
 Poison          | Lose 1/16 cHP (1/32 mHP minimum) constantly when moving
 Deadly Poison   | Lose 1/16 cHP (1/32 mHP minimum) constantly
 Confusion       | Directional input is randomized
 Curse           | Unable to act or move every now and then
 Death Sentence  | Die after a 24s countdown
 Stun/Burn/Freeze| Unable to act or move
 Str Down        | Str is halved for 12s
 Con Down        | Con is halved for 12s

- Money dropped by enemies despawns after 6,6 seconds.
- The prices of equipment and spells may vary depending on the location.
- There are many dialog choices throughout the game, but unless otherwise
specified, the one you need to choose is the first one.
- Some of the towns in the game can be developed with the player's help,
although this is completely optional. Note that a town can't move to the
next stage if it's the last place you've saved at.
- You can pause the game with Start. The play time counter (which is only
visible in the save file screen) halts during this.
- The names of most items and locations are crunched.
- Regrettably, the game's soundtrack was never released.

- When you start a new game, you'll have the chance to name the main
character (default: Ark).
- You can save your game by examining journals such as the one found on
your desk.
- You have to examine doors to open them.
- Go talk to the elder, then go to the building north. Talk to the woman
opposite Elle and choose the first option. Return to the first building.
Open the blue door by throwing some pots at it.
- Once you've opened the box, Yomi will give you a tour of the menu
screens. Once in control, go to the weapon menu and examine the glint.
- I strongly suggest you tweak the settings. I use Gauge Type B and the
following controls:
 Y - Attack / Confirm
 B - Jump / Cancel
 R - Dash
 A - Item
 X - Guard
 L - Examine / Confirm (fixed)

- In order to use magic, you need to either equip the Jewel Box or cast
them through the Jewelry Box in the Center menu.
- You don't have to keep holding down the Dash button to run.
- Go talk to the elder at the entrance. After that, you can open the two
chests (examine them twice) and go outside the village. Don't forget to
actually equip your weapon and armor.
- The Crystal Spear gives you regeneration that heals 1 HP every 5s. The
regeneration will be lost after Chapter 1, however.
- Don't bother with the HexaRod. It's only 1 point higher and doesn't
have regeneration.
 × The HexRod is unique in the sense that, while you can buy as many as
 you want, you can't have more than one of them at a time; if you already
 have one, it won't show up in the shop menu.


 ¤~~~~~~¤   Tower 1   ¤~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~¤

 Items:
   Magirock #1         S.Bulb
   Magirock #2         Magirock #3

- All the Magirocks are nc-items, but I won't bother marking them.
- Note that you can change the Gauge Type by using L and the Guard button
while the game is paused.
- On the third floor, you'll need to go out through one of the windows,
so you can climb up to the fourth floor.
- The third floor is a great place to level up.
- On the fifth floor, you'll fight 4 Red Huballs. Afterwards, you'll
resurrect Eurasia.

 Items:
   Magirock #7         Magirock #8
   S.Bulb              Sleepless Seal

- Falling into a pit will usually deal some damage (same as poison damage;
1/16 cHP, 1/32 mHP minimum, 4 HP absolute minimum) and warp you back up.
In areas with multiple levels, you may instead fall down to a lower level,
in which case no damage is incurred.
- Don't miss the Magirock on B1F.
- You can reach the first chest by simply going through the wall.
- Guardner can only be damaged with aerial attacks.
- On the fifth floor, you'll fight a bunch of Cadets. After that, you'll
resurrect Africa.

   Magirock #9         Life Potion #
   Magirock #10        Crystal Thread         #: Artifact

- To successfully walk the ropes, make sure Ark's feet are lined up with
the "upper" part of the rope.
- You have to jump down from one of four holes on B1. Take any other one
besides the southeast one to get most of the items first.
- The Life Potion increases your max HP by 5. There are 11 of these in
the game. The other stat boost items give you a +1 increase. There are
four of those each.
- On the third floor, you'll fight a bunch of Hueballs, then resurrect
North America.

      -- Crystalholm --

 Item (nc): ElleCape (Unique)

- Talk to Elle and she'll take the Crystal Thread. Go rest in your bed
and go talk to her again during the night. The next day, she'll give
you the ElleCape. You'll need to equip it in order to access Tower 5.

- 260 Exp in total (30+30+100+100)
- You can block the laser attack.
- Bosses have high Luck, so crits will be unlikely, but never impossible.
- If you defeat the boss with a Fire Ring and also level up at the same
time, the game will crash. Like so:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PocxJoGfVH0

- Afterwards, Australia will be resurrected.
- There are two more locations you can resurrect.

      -- Shrine --

- This place is south of Tower 4. (Polynesia)

      -- Wasteland --

- This one is north of Tower 3. It doesn't appear on the map, so you'll
have to sweep the area. Here, you will resurrect Mu.

      -- Crysta --

- You're about to leave the Crystal Realm and won't be able to return.
Make sure you didn't miss anything. You should have 11 Magirocks (aka
Prime Blues).
- Go talk to the elder, then Elle.

      -- Hole --

- This place is east of Crysta. Once you're ready, talk to the elder
and choose the second dialog option.

   S.Bulb              Life Potion #       Magirock #14

- You will no longer have access to this dungeon once you complete the
events here.
- The Crystal Spear will no longer regenerate your HP.
- The chests here look a little different.
- Once you reach an area where the music changes, examine the leaves near
the flower to obtain the Big Leaves (only appears after killing a purple
Amarante in one of the previous areas). This allows you to swim.
- A flower in another area will give you a Ra Dewdrop. Equip it and use
it. After that, you can fight the boss. Climb the vine next to the last
Magirock (the one behind the waterfall near the LeafSuit) to get back
up faster.

[Boss]
- 110 HP, 23 Def, R:R, 350 Exp
- Magic use is blocked.
- Phase 1 ends after 10 hits. You're not doing any damage to it yet at
this point.
- In phase 2, it likes to throw out six mini-parasites. Five of these
are worth 11 xp each, while one of them is worth 10 xp.

  RaArmor         380 G

- Talk to Ra to obtain a Grass Pin (comes with 4 Magirocks). It's a
spell that fully restores your health.

- Head north through the Guiana Highlands.


      -- Forest --

 Items:
   M.Bulb          387 G

- Search the southern Colorado plains to find this small area.

      -- Sanctuary --

 Shop:
  FireRing       10\1
  PyroRing       15\2

- The PyroRing is powerful enough to do some damage on the next boss,
so you could grab a few of those.

                       Life Potion #          ¤: Unique

- This is potentially the most confusing dungeon in the game, but it's
still mostly linear. The path splits on 4F. The path south takes you to
a dead end with the RocSpear, which you'll need to destroy some boulders
blocking your path when you go back to 4F and take the northwest path.
 × The Rock Spear can't be discarded, but it doesn't have its own slot.
- When you're falling down the first hole, take A first (or just jump
down), then B (B and C take you to the same place in the end, but B has
a chest on the way).

       |
      /|

       B C

- After the hole, you'll soon find the Sharp Claws, which allow you to
climb certain walls, allowing you to reach the second hole (follow the
path east that you can only reach by climbing).
- In the second hole, hold right to reach the last Magirock. Once you're
down, head west to find the Life Potion, then east to reach the boss.

[Boss]                             NRCPD

- Climb all the way up and talk to King Bird. Next, talk to any of the
seagulls near the save point to fly to WindVale.
- In the valley, throw some rocks into the hole.
- Talk to King Bird again to receive a Wind Pin. This one heals status
ailments.
- The seagulls can now take you to the following locations:
 × Right one:  Wind Valley (no reason to go back there)
 × Middle one: Japan (nothing there yet)
 × Left one:   Safarium

- The weather changes between sunny and rainy every minute and 12
seconds, although, initially, it'll never rain in the dry areas. If you
move to another area during the weather transition, the weather change
won't actually register properly. Ie. you'll see Dunguns explode even
during the rain or *not* explode during clear skies.
- I'd like to remind you that you can block most projectiles.
- There are 3 altars here that bring water back to the dried rivers.
For each altar, you need to free 4 souls by defeating certain enemies.
- To reach the first altar, you need to crawl through a hole in the
riverbed (might be a little hard to see).
- If you don't like the idea of throwing away a unique weapon, feel
free to pass up on the Sticker. It's only 1 point higher than the Rock
Spear and will quickly get obsoleted once you complete the Canyon. It's
in one of the two chests that you reach by going through a crawlspace
(the left one).
- To reach the second altar, you need to let one of the Doomas blow
you against a weak wall.

- 2: 105 HP, 42 Def, 135 MDF, 350 Exp     r  rrrrr
- You don't want to use the Rock Spear in this one.
- Don't bother with magic. He's immune to the time-freezing ones, and
even if he weren't, his magic defense is so high the damage would still
be minimum.

- Back in Safarium, go talk to Neo's wife in the lion's den, then head
south to the Bottomless Ravine.


 ¤~~~~~~¤   Canyon   ¤~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~¤

- You'll need to help out Leim. He has 12 HP, and if he hits 0, you'll
have to restart that segment.
- To pass the stone bridge, you need to move closely along Leim.
- Defeat the mudman at the end by throwing rocks at him.

- Talk to Neo to obtain Neo's Fang. You can now travel across the Indus

- Keep the FurCoat equipped to avoid getting frozen.
- This is the first dungeon where you can get confused. To get rid of it,
you need to move to another area.
- I choose not to pick up the Flame Spear myself (it's in the little area
blocked by a boulder), as there's no use for a Fire-elemental weapon after
this dungeon.
- Once you obtain the Snowgrass Leaf, take it to the hot spring where the
yeti was.
- You can reach the boss after the avalanche.

of dungeons.
- Next, go talk to Meihou at the entrance of the town and again at Kumari's
chamber.

- Before advancing the story, there are a few Magirocks we can hunt down.

- Beat the noodle eating contest. You may want to use the default controls
for this one.
- Examine the trash can in the northern part of the city. When fighting
the ghost, you need to hit it 5 times to end the battle (0 xp). Whenever
it appears, it'll either fly around a little or do his whirlwind attack.
He's completely invulnerable during the latter. After beating the ghost,
the Quintet building will appear.
 × If you enter the menu just as you defeat the ghost, the game will crash:

   Magirock #39        Magirock #42

- Follow the girl through the Gobi desert to reach a town.
- On the west side, talk to Temjin and choose the first dialog option twice.
- At Mei Ling's place, grab the Magirock, then crawl through the fireplace
and talk to Mei Ling.
- You can buy a Bronze Spear if you want, but it's really not necessary.
Light-elemental weapons are preferable here and the next two dungeons.
- Now, head to the inn  The woman should talk to you as soon as you enter.
Go rest in the bed in the western room.
- The enemies will be gone after the events here.
- The inn is a good place to level up. Zombies M-a, M-b, and F-a will
absorb one hit with their heads. The heads will blow up with any damage,
but if you deal at least 88 pod, the heads will give you 18 xp, just like
the bodies. Zombie F-b will launch her head at you if she survives a hit
(she's invincible while doing so). Hit the head to get 18 xp from that
as well.
 × The Zombie sprites are switched in a few areas, so don't be surprised
 if you see a male zombie launch his head at you.
- Consider equipping the Ra Armor to avoid Poison.
- Jump down the hole in the inn. Go to Mei Ling's room and pick up the
scarf lying on the floor.
- Retrieve the Holy Seal from the east side, then take the hidden path
behind the building near the inn (the ghosts can't grab you when you're
equipped with the Holy Seal).
- Don't miss the Magirock on the top floor of the large building on the
north side. You need to crawl under the table in a room with 3 Madus.
- When you reach the graveyard, equip the Red Scarf and talk to Turbo.
It will then lead you to Mei Ling. After the event, the enemies will
be gone. Time to head to "Yurp."

- Items by location:
 West side: Magirock #38 (before zombie hour), Red Scarf
 Square: P. Cure, Rags (you can skip this one),
  Magirock #44 (can only be reached from the north side)
 East side 1: Magirock #39, Light Staff
 East side 2: Magirock #40, Holy Seal
 North side: 178 G, Magirock #41, Magirock #42, L.Bulb, STR Potion,
  Magirock #43
 Graveyard: 500 G (Temjin's grave)


      -- Taklamakan --

- Save your game before attempting this. If you get lost, the fastest
way out is to reset the game.
- To cross the desert, you need to change direction at each landmark:
west (3 big rocks), south (line of rocks), northwest (2 skulls), north.
Make sure you get close enough to each of them.

- Buy two Pretty Flowers and a Silver Spear (Light-elemental). You might
still have some use for the Light Staff later.
- Go to the inn. After the event, get some rest, then give the Mushroom
to the guy by the table.

      -- Nomads' --  (Optional)

- Cross the Taklamakan desert to get to the Nomads' camp. Equip a Pretty
Flower and talk to the girl in the northeast tent.

      -- Loire Castle --

in the other room.

   Dog Whistle         M.Bulb
   Magirock #48        Portrait

- Without the Protect Bell, you wouldn't be able to explore much of the
forest.
- As far as I know, there's only one chest hidden behind the trees. It's
the Life Potion in the second area after the ruined bridge (right before
it gets dark).
- Make sure you've found all the Magirocks before exploring Storkholm.
You'll start finding them after hooking up with Mei Ling.
- Once you reach Storkholm, use the Dog Whistle to take care of the
wolves, then get the two chests.

      -- Loire Castle --

- Go to the throne room and talk to the king.


 ¤~~~~~~¤   Loire   ¤~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~¤

- Going forward, you can engage in town progression side quests at your
leisure. These generally involve receiving a key item and giving it to
the right NPC somewhere out in the world.
- Go listen to Jean's speech by the fountain. Refresh the area, then
examine the box north of the fountain and vote for Jean. Go stand by
the fountain again, refresh the area, and stand by the fountain one
last time to hear the results.
- Head south to Litz. Once you save your game there, Loire will reach
stage 2 (I'll cover it after the next dungeon). Remember: A town can't
move to the next phase if it's the last place you've saved at. If you
already did save somewhere else, the town will evolve once you've been
to another location.

   STR Potion #        Tower Key           Sapphire   (nc)

- First, find your way to the chapel and take the soul back to the armor
near the entrance. You can find the first six items in these early areas.
- In the room where Yomi talks to you, set the combination to 286 by
moving against the wall (the numbers might be a little hard to see).
This will lower the chandeliers in one of the previous areas, allowing
you to obtain the Ruby. (On a side note, they seem to have gotten the
sprites for the Ruby and Black Opal switched. Doesn't really matter.)
- You can find the Black Opal by crawling into a hole.
- In the right tower, you'll find a switch that stops the poison from
being released into the water. This allows you to get the Sapphire from
the fountain in the first area.
- At the top of the left tower, Yomi will give you a hand, allowing you
to obtain the Topaz.
- Once you have all 4 jewels, return to the portraits and the path to
the boss will open.
- When you're ready, jump down the hole. Four dolls will appear and spin
around you. When they stop, you need to attack the one that was behind
you when they stopped. Once they stop appearing, talk to the NPC. Next,
you need to attack the doll at the end of a small area, but you can only
move at certain times (40 xp).

- You're supposed to use magic in this one, mainly the Light-elemental
ones (Ray/Elec Rings), due to her high defense. None of the other time-
freezing spells will hit her. Equip the Light Staff or FirePike to
increase your Luck. Try not to waste your spells by using them when
she's invulnerable (such as at the beginning of the battle).
- If you've used the three STR Potions, you can deal decent physical
damage at Lv24. Without them, you'd need Lv25. See the numbers below.

- Talk to Pierre and keep helping him until he creates the Camera.
You'll need to use it to take a picture of Suncoast and show it at the
tourist centers of other towns. You can take pictures of other towns
and show them as well, but it has no effect on anything.
- Talk to Matisse to obtain one of his paintings.
- Go to the winery. Again, help the guy out until you obtain an item.
- Talk to Madeleine at Papillion's shop for one more item.

   Engagement Ring (nc)

- Pretty good xp here. Do note that the enemies will be gone once you
kill the pink Cally (who has the same stats as the regular Callies).
- After the mermaids return, you'll find two of them blocking your path
to the ground floor. Talking to either one will give you a Water Pin
after which they'll move and disappear. However, it's actually possible
to talk to both of them and obtain *two* Water Pins in which case you'll
get 12 Magirocks instead of just 6. You need to stand between them in a
very specific spot, so that they're both "standing." Now, talk to the
first, and when you obtain the pin, keep mashing Confirm and you'll talk
to the other one. Here's a vid:

- Go to the hotel and talk to the girl in the room where Fyda is.
Next, talk to the doctor in the northwest building. He'll tell you
to go Lon's place, right next door (the door is right next to the
stalls). After getting the Ginseng, go back to the doctor, and he'll
tell you how to use it.
- Give the medicine to Fyda. After the flashback, choose the second

pick it up on one of the islands near Australia.
- Take the northeast path first to find nearly all of the treasure.
- When you take the middle path, you'll find a dead end. Equip the Speed
Shoes and use them to run into the wall and smash it. The third Magirock
is in the dungeon area after that. Get it before you approach Elle.
- After being rescued by Fyda, go back and take the northeast path from
the main hall again. Follow Elle's illusion. After the events with Mei
Ling, go back and take the northwest path from the main hall. You'll find
a room with 6 candles. Throw pots at them to put them out, and the path
will open (make sure you've found all the items at this point). In the
next area, examine the wall opposite the first statue to find the switch
that opens the path.
- After the events, return to Nirlake and talk to Will. An airfield will
be built next to Freedom, which allows you to fly to Russia. This will
