Star Ocean: Till the End of Time Director's Cut	Square Enix;Ubisoft (tri-Ace)	2004	[spoiler=Code in hideout;Hide]256[/spoiler] [spoiler=Saving Farleen and Tylene;Hide]Kirsla, south-east exit[/spoiler] [spoiler=Cuprite key;Hide]Bottom floor, north-east corner[/spoiler] [spoiler=Mosel dunes;Hide]Exit is found in north-east; look for discreet ruins near an oasis cut by stones, near a rock "wall".[/spoiler] [spoiler=Urssa/Marquis;Hide]Found in Mountains of Barr, north-west part of the same region you enter the copper mine.[/spoiler] [spoiler=Dragon reliefs;Hide]These require dragon windpipe flute, obtained from much farther into the mountains from a graveyard. You can play about four tunes with the flute depending on the length of time the key is pressed (and supposedly hardness), match the tune with the description of the relief. The other tunes are needed later Happy / yellow - short, chipper tune; short, light tap Playful / green - mellow/sad tune; long, light tap Sad / blue - mellow tune; short, hard tap Angry / red - long-ish, fast paced tune; long, hard tap You can practice the presses away from the reliefs to avoid the spawning of the dragons when you get the tune wrong. IMO the playful and sad tunes are the wrong way around. Doors with changing relief needs all tunes played on matching emotion relief. They need to be played in order starting from the one after blank. Failure seems to reset the sequence.[/spoiler] Aqueduct entrance is at the south-west corner of Airyglyph. In case you've forgotten.*[b]healing/energy stations[/b] - blue symbols on the ground which are free, and inns which cost little to use. [b]grinding[/b] - although you can avoid most battles in the open, you'll have serious issues later on. Such as 24-25 level character being unable to defeat the sub-boss on the way to Marquis. Regular enemies on Barr mountains being too tough at similar level, level 30 being insufficient for the first regular enemies on the second disc (they're effectively harder than the Marquis boss battle you recently beat). -- creatures seen only briefly (not worh tagging) skeletons, giant chameleon-like creatures, giant porcupines, giant spiders, bats, some dog-like creatures, flying giant fish, giant horned tortoises, witches, treants, lone fairy, plant-like tentacle creatures, frog-like humanoids, lizardmen, mycoids, caninoids, inorganics (rock/soil and crystalline), and some others. generally speaking, it's a mishmash of seemingly random "monsters" working together against you.[b]REACH FOR THE STARS[/b] [b]Fayt Leingod's[/b] idyllic family holiday is brutally cut short when a mysterious military force attacks planet [b]Hyda IV[/b].
