1) Version History

Version 1- tech demo
First available version of the game is the tech demo which includes the full custom battle system for Fergus, but does not include regular 2k3 battles for Fergus or Midard. Haddy’s battles are also very unpolished and will be improved for the next demo version. Walkthrough no longer available.

Version 2- full release
While there were other releases planned, sbester did not get around to writing this version until the night he finished the full release. This version covers all of the changes from the old tech demo, as well as the remaining 5 episodes of the game. THIS IS A WALKTHROUGH ONLY, NOT A STRATEGY GUIDE.



2) Gameplay


Fergus
Fergus is an attacker, and is best used as such. His skills include a number of heavy attacks that will come in handy against hard hitting enemies, and he also has a pet recruitment system for a couple (smaller) added benefits. Finally, when Fergus’ health reaches 20% or below, the screen will flash red and Fergus will be able to perform double attacks for the rest of the battle.

Haddy
Haddy can gain elemental attack spells throughout the game by either finding the elemental spirits, or buying spell scrolls at magic shops. Typically, these spells are much more effective than her regular attacks.

Gulliver
Sometimes Haddy will rely on Gulliver to fit into tight spaces where she cannot go. There are no skills he can utilize, and although it is possible to get him in a battle, it is not recommended.

Midard
Midard gains healing magic as he levels up in the game. He is the only character to gain his spells in the traditional manner, through experience, only.



3) Walkthrough




EPISODE 1- Fergus in the Court of King Arfur

1- Castle
- You will begin at the top of the castle and will need to find your way out without being killed by the guards.
- The first thing you’ll want to do is take the left path for some healing items. Next, take the stairs down to the left. After that, ignore the right set of stairs and take the right path to find a sword.
- Once you have the sword, you can now take the right stairs. Go East, up the stairs to get the key at the far end, then head back down the stairs again.
- Heal.
- Go to the room on the far left to get another key, then enter the room directly beside it to find your shield. You are now prepared to proceed down the next set of stairs.
- Head out of the castle (back left door in this room).

2- Forest
- This place is pretty straight forward. Kill the cute little bunnies to get some cheap healing meats. At the bottom right corner of the map there is a leather hat which you will want to equip.
- Next screen: More bunnies. Do not leave this area until you have found the sword and armour.
- DO NOT ENTER NEXT AREA WITHOUT BEING FULLY HEALED! YOU WILL DIE!
- The next area is to the far right of the map. When you are healed, you will be ready for the boss fight.
- BOSS- Use heavy attacks when possible, take out minions first.

EPISODE 2- The Adventures of an Unemployed Witch

1- Witch Town
- The layout is as follows: Top house you just came out of and can no longer enter. Left house is the armory, Right is the library (go here for some funny cutscenes), bottom left house is the spell shop, and bottom right house is the item shop. You won’t be able to do much here, as unemployed witches don’t usually have much funds to begin with.
- Visit the person at the bottom right of the town to get some money. You can keep the money and spend it as you please, or you can be nice and get them their mana waters (which is smarter, as you will gain a level for doing so).
- Make sure you buy both spells at the spell shop before leaving town.

2- Mountains
- On the world map, head a little bit West to the mountains and enter.
- Proceed north again. When you get to the next area, you will have to use Gulliver to fit into the tight space.
- You will need to find your way to the gate and open it so that Haddy can proceed. When you have changed back into Haddy, proceed North and out of the mountain cave.


EPISODE 3- Enter, Midard

1- Prostitown
Okay, quick directional route here:
- Head East

- North, then West at the top.
- A few steps West.
- West, then South.
- Walk to the doors.

2- Dimensional Security System
- Walk to the Northeast set of mountains on the worldmap.
- Take the left path first.
- Take the leftmost door in this small room. Now take the middle door.

EPISODE 4- Misfits Unite and begin the Search for the Chosen One
