Nina - She learns to fly after you unfreeze the town of Carmen. She also has lots of clerical type magic. Bo - He can shoot arrows and travel through forest on the global map.

He also has magic when under water. Ox - He can knock down some rock piles. He can also hit trees on the global map knocking down fruit and nuts. Bleu - She has the most magic in the group. Her spells are mainly offensive. Mogu - He can dig in dirt on the world map and gain items. He can also dig up roots under some plants south of Grimor. DRAGON TRAINING --------------- At these four sites you can have your hero learn sets of dragon spells. The dragon spells can be used to transform your hero, and (with Agni) your entire party. Using a dragon spell should heal your hero when cast. 1) You can learn your first set south of Tuntar across the river. You can cross the river after lava from a nearby volcano fills in the river south of Tuntar. Defeat TALON to gain Snow, Flame, and Thunder Dragon magics. 2) You can gain your second set after Gobi has regained the Sphere and can turn into a fish. He regains the sphere after your party saves Gant and Prima. You will need the Rod5 from Tunlar to gain the item required to enter the dragon shrine. In Tunlar, go the the vault and try to walk to the treasure chest on the left hand side. You will either be pushed or fall down the pit. After you fall though go the the chest in the lower right hand corner of where you have fallen and push the chest aside. Search where the chest was and you gain the Rod5. With the Rod5 and some type of fishing bait (you must equip these on your hero) try fishing in all the wells you can reach on the global map. The list of fishing spots is listed lower down. The location of this shrine is southwest of Gant. You can reach it by going through the pyramid and around the mountains near Gant. Defeat BAIN to acquire Ice, Fire, Bolt, and Gold Dragon magics. Note: the Gold Dragon is useful on the undead (zombies) and nothing else. 3) You can reach this place after you can fly with Nina. It is northwest of Gust in the middle of a lake. You need the Dragon Armor to enter. Defeat AVIAN to receive Rudra magic. 4) You can gain Agni after you have the power gained from shrine #3 and you possess the Dragon Helmet and Rudra magic. No combat is involved here. The location of this shrine Under the Water in the Magic Spring. This is the same spring you had to go to fill up the Water Jar. Since you can travel under water by this stage in the game, enter the water where you filled the jar earlier. Note: to use Agni all your characters need to be alive, unparalyzed, and unjoined (through Karn's magic). Rod5 SITES ---------- These are the sites where you can use the Rod5 fishing rod. You will need bait to be able to do any fishing. Bait can be bought and/or dug up by Mogu. The items you gain from these sites are very important to the game. Note: You equip your hero (from the item screen) with the Rod5 and bait, and put your hero at the head of the party. Try pushing buttons while against a well to start fishing. Well - Northwest of Tantar. You gain the Slab telling about shrine #4 here. Well - Far west of Agua and east of shrine #3. You gain the Dragon Sword here. Dock - This is located in the town of Spring. Go down some stairs and walk into the water surrounding the town. You head west and climb back onto the land on the other side. There is a pond with ducks and a pier. Fish from the pier. The Dragon Armor is gained here. Well - West of Gust surrounded by mountains. You have to fly to reach it. This is where you find the Dragon Shield. Well - Far southwest of Arad. You have to fly to reach it. It contains the Dragon Helmet. You can use any bait to fish but you must be using Rod5 to get the Dragon items. KARN'S FORMS ------------ These are various forms of Karn's. With these he can combine with Bo, Ox, or Gobi to become a new creature that has different abilities and higher hit points. Note: Karn's form must be leading the party to use any special abilities available in non-combat situations. Shin - This form can shoot like Bo when leading the part on the global map. This form is a combo of Bo and Gobi. You gain this form in Gant by pushing a cabinet. Doof - This form is even stronger than Ox. It is a combo of Ox and Bo. This form can push aside objects that you couldn't before. This is found by having Mogu dig on a dragon mark northeast of Camlon. Debo - This is a combo of Gobi and Ox, and can only be activated while underwater. You get it by pushing an empty crate in Gust at the flute player's house. Puka - There are cement blocks with the impression of a dragon's head on the global map. Puka can breath on them to access the caves they cover. Puka has two powerful attack forms in combat, breathing and rolling, the later doing about double damage (which can also be doubled by 'Slamming'!) Get this form by pushing a cabinet in Bleak with Doof. CEMENT BLOCKS ------------- These are accessed by Puka (a form of Karn's). When Puka breaths on a cement block, the block will slide to the side and allow you to enter a cave. The caves contain powerful specialized bracelets. NOTE: Puka must be at the head of the party to open the blocks. #1) North of Auria. Get the DarkBR here. #2) Southwest of Gust. Get the LoveBR here. #3) Far southeast of Carmen. Get the WindBR here.
