SwoM – Character Creation Guide
Posted in guides, notes, tips
Tragedy is when SNAFU can be avoided with a single thingie called a “flaw.” Sword of Mana
[GBA] (SwoM) at its core is still Final Fantasy Adventure [GB] (FFA). The one flaw however is
shoehorning Legend of Mana [PS1] (LoM) into it. After way too time thinking about this; this is
the true circumstance. I grudgingly admit that yes, LoM is part of the Seiken Desenstu series.
However it’s so different, like Super Mario Brothers 2 or Final Fantasy XI. FFA is a simple game;
short and sweet. SwoM is FFA at heart, short and sweet. One of the first articles I read about
SwoM was how the author just stuck with his Sword, Healing magic, and Fire magic throughout
the whole game. That’s when it clicks for me. In FFA all you did is slaughter monsters with your
current weapon, cast Fire on the ones you couldn’t (Zombies), and Cured as needed. But it has
all the mechanics and design bloat of LoM. KISS is the way to go.
This character guide is to help you play SwoM probably as it was intended: a fun basic action
RPG with unique weapons and friends to come along.
1. Character Select
First choice is Boy or Girl. They both go through the exact same game and adventure, but they
view it from their own perspectives. However here are the quick nitty-gritty differences.
Boy & Girl

Uses the Sword Uses the Staff
(And has 3 Slash weapons). (And has 3 Bash weapons).
Better physical stats. Better magical stats.
Heavy Armor (metals) Light Armor (cloth, hides)
More bosses. More cut scenes (and LoM melodrama).
Again both can do everything and have access to all content. Except the Sword/Staff and the
Heavy/Light exclusivity. The Boy can be a magical character; the Girl can be a physical one.
2. Choose your Weapons

There are 8 weapons and 8 magical elements in SwoM. It’s best to choose one element and
weapon of each damage type: Slash (cut), Bash (blunt), and Jab (pierce/poke). If you have
played other Seiken Densestu/Mana games you probably already know a bit about them.
Here’s the Magic: the Gathering type descriptions.
9
I. Weapons
1. Sword, slash
It’s sword. Pointy end goes inside monsters. Don’t cut your own foot off. It’s a very easy
weapon to use. When used with magic it is very difficult to aim. It’s best to use magic like a
land mine or counter move. Let the enemies come to you, then BLAMO!
2. Staff, bash
It’s a stick! Works like the Sword exactly except that it’s Bash type. Because it’s made of
wood it has high Element which is good for magical types. It’s adequate for magic since it’s
creates a homing projectile.
3. Bow, jab
This will be your first new weapon. It has great reach but you can’t combo it. If you fire at
point blank range you can get off two hits though. Also it’s one of the few weapons that
comes with stat boosts, namely Hit (accuracy). Since it’s made of wood, it’s good for magic
types too. It’s magic is the same as it’s weapon: a basic arc.
4. Flail, jab
Whip it good~ Even if you pick three other weapons it’s helpful to upgrade the Flail as well.
There are many screens and rooms that require it to swing across platforms. Like the Bow,
it frequently increases Hit as well. It’s adequate for magic because it shoots it in a straight
line. However it follows the ground, so it’ll stop at walls, rocks, and platform edges.
5. Sickle, slash
This is that cool ninja weapon, the Kusarigama, and is the first Slash weapon for the Girl.
Too bad it’s tricky to use. You just swing is around your head, hitting all monsters directly
next to you. I highly suspect that it’s the weapon with frequent Critical Hits (double
damage). Meanwhile is excellent for cutting grass to obtain bait items. As a magical
weapon it’s great. The magic spins around you twice. You can hit a monster twice with it,
and multiple monsters if you set it up right.
6. Axe, slash
Very strong, very slow. The Axe has very high power, a decent range, but it’s tricky to pull
off its combos. Also no Class specializes with the Axe. It’s great for magic though. It blasts
away from you like shotgun.
7. Knuckles, bash
This is the first Bash weapon for the Boy. It’s very fast, has a short range, and increases
both Hit and Dodge. Its magic capabilities depend on the player. You control a very fast
fireball with the Control Pad. You can get multiple hits or hit every enemy if you are
dexterous enough.
8. Morning Star a.k.a. Mace, bash

This is the strongest physical weapon type in the game. However it is very slow and even
slower since you cannot combo. Also you must open chests from the right or left side. Like
the Axe, no class specializes with it and it’s great for magic. A slow ball moves away then
explodes out. The slowness often pushes monsters away and scores multiple hits.
9. Lance a.k.a. Spear, Jab

La-la-Lancer! The Lance – often named Spear Something – is very fast and has the long
range for melee weapons. However it’s the last weapon you get, around halfway through
the game. Still, it’s the only Jab weapon that can perform combos and occasionally
increases Hit or Dodge. Its magic is interesting to use. It shoots directly in front and behind
you.
10
Tip: If you choose weapons that don’t combo or are hard for you to combo, stock up on
Gummy Frogs. They instantly fill your Deathblow gauge and allow you to do a power charged
attack.
II. Magical Spirits

10. Wisp, Light
Light magic heals you and deals high damage to undead and demon monsters. Undead
monsters are immune to all weapons.
11. Salamander, Fire

Being the second magic you get in game, it’s probably one of the most commonly used.
Everything burns so Plan 2: burn it.
12. Undine, Water

Water magic helps monsters “stay frosty” by turning them into snowmen. It also gives the
first hiding magic that most monsters in the first half of the game, (except Birds, Reptiles
and Eyeballs which don’t move anyway).
13. Gnome, Earth

This is good for defensive players. It’s the only magic with an instant kill spell. You don’t
get Experience, but dying and have to reset is ever more Experience. For those who play
video games: earth kills birds.
14. Jinn, Wind

Lighting is included with Wind magic which is why monsters can be paralyzed. It’s swift
movement can help out Agility type characters or quicken weapon attacks. Common
Animals, Insects, and tough Demi-humans are weak against it.
15. Luna, Moon

A unique element of the Seiken Densestu series, Moon is the element of the night … and
all the crazy stuff that happens during it. Turn into a Moogle to hide from monsters or
shrink them down and pick on someone not your size.
16. Dryad, Wood

Another Seiken Densetu unique; Wood deals with plants so for the Japanese that means
poison and sleep inducing flowers. Since Mana is from the Tree, Wood deals with magic.
Dryad is obtained a little before halfway through the game.
17. Shade, Dark

While it stinks at killing evil monsters, nearly everything else uses the light of day.
You acquire Shade just before the final dungeons but the monsters inside are goody-two-
shoes.
11
3. Easy Class Selection
If you have played Seiken Densestu 3 you will be rather familiar with the class system. When
you level up in SwoM you can choose which stats to increase. Get the right combinations and
you gain a “base class”. From there if you raise your stats again correctly you can go down
either “Light” or “Dark” Paths. (These are not referring to the elements of Wisp & Shade. Just
keep reading.) You raise your stats again go Light or Dark again. This makes for a tree with
branches ending with Light-Light (LL), Light-Dark (LD), Dark-Light (DL), and Dark-Dark (DD).
It’s very tempting to muck about maximizing stats, and which is the best class, but remember
SwoM is simple. Here is the easy free flow way for class selection.
1. Base Class
From the weapons and magic you have already selected chose the base Class that best
fits you. Warriors use Sword or Staff, Monks Knuckles, and Amazons Lances. The Thief
can specialize in three weapons: the Bow, Flail, or Sickle. If any of these are your
primary weapon your class Path is set. If you want to primarily kill things with magic
choose Mage or Sage. Mages specialize in the classic elements of Fire, Water, Earth,
and Wind. Sages can use the other ones of Light, Dark, Moon, and Wood. Like the
Thief, Mage & Sage have specific Paths if you want a particular element.
2. Light Path
This path has more Magical and Defensive characters, so your covers their bases.
Physical classes can stand up to magic, while Magical ones can take a pounding. Also
near the end Physical classes will be decent at casting magic. Focus on weapons with
Elemental values if you come across them.
3. Dark Path
You kill thing; Plain and simple.
4. Light-Light
This is the most magical of the Physical and Sage classes. They play very tactically using
both weapons and magic to kill monsters. They are the best at using weapons with
high Element. Also this is the only class to get a bonus to Wisp.
5. Light-Dark
These are the tanks. Nothing can kill them. They often have high Defense and Magic
Defense by various ways.
6. Dark-Light
Physical and Magical classes cover their compliments in a variety ways. They can either
dish out a little bit of magic or take a little bit of it. Either way they don’t have to worry
about being overwhelmed as much.
7. Dark-Dark
Things explode. However they are awful at their complements. Physical classes cannot
deal or take magic well, and vice versus with Magical. As such they probably rely most
on items.
12
4. Don’t Panic
First, frequent menu activity is a normal possibility. In FFA different monsters were immunity
to different weapons, (mostly based on elemental). Monster immunities are still here in SwoM,
but the variety has increased (due to Slash, Bash, and Jab). Just take it easy. Hit monsters until
they die. If they dink, blast it with magic. If that’s still to slow swap a weapon or magic. Hit the
“L” or “R” while paused to jump directly into Weapons or Magic. (Too bad there isn’t a jump to
items.) Alternatively, since Seiken Densestu always has buddy players, set your NCP
companion to cover your basis. They really are helpful if you use them right.
Second, quick deaths are normal. Any monster (in any Seiken Densestu game) that uses magic
is a pain. Poisoning monsters when you start out are deadly. Werewolves, Bees,
Shaman/Tomato Men, Clouds, Eyeballs, etc. Yes you can kill very quickly, but so can they.
While rushing about field and dungeon, avoid situations where you can be surrounded or stun
locked. If you are in a dangerous situation: Jump over them. Hiding magic might be extremely
useful afterward. Or use those easily forgotten Coin and Icon items. They cast magic but
instantly.
Finally just have fun gaming.

SwoM – Time Guide
By tirodvd ¶ Posted in games, guides, tips
1. Day
The days of the week are: Mana Holy Day, Luna, Undine,
Salamander, Dryad, Jinn, and Gnome.
Spirits listed in the Status Menu, and the Spirit Ring menu are
in the same order as the week.
Wisp and Shade usually are associated with the Mana Holy Day.
New Days start at Morning.
2. Time
There are four times of day following this pattern: Morning,
Day, Day, Day, Evening, Night, Night, and Night.
Each screen transition advances the time of day.
Time does not change in towns, the Hot House, and Vinquette’s Hall.
Time does not advance entering or leaving towns. Time advances entering and leaving
the Hot House.
Using the Magic Rope changes neither the Time of day, nor Day of the week.
The Time of day can affect many things such as: NCPs in towns, monsters in fields &
dungeons, local environment effects.
Morning Day x3
Evening Night x3
14
3. Inns
Staying at an Inn is the fastest way to advance time. It always advances to the Morning of the
next day.
4. Magic Rope Trick

Since the Magic Rope doesn’t change time as all it can be exploited to be at the right place at
the right time. This is very useful for getting Morning or Evening in towns, the correct Day for
Planting, and the correct Time & Day for Quests.
Save at a Mana Statue at the desired location.
Advance to the desired Time or Day.
Use the Magic Rope.
Right Time & Day.
15
SwoM – Classes
1. Basics
Choosing the correct combination of Class-Levels unlocks Classes.
First pick the base class, then “Light” or “Dark” twice for a final selection of: LL, LD, DL,
and DD.
Once you choose a path you cannot go back or jump to another.
If two classes are possible the game tends towards LD.
If you select the same Class-Level 40 times in a row, including Random, you will get an
Accessory that gives +50 to a stat. DD classes are the fastest to recoup after this.
2. Class Leveling Stats

Name HP MP Pow Def Int Mnd Agl
Warrior 7 1 2 2 – – 1
Monk 8 – 2 1 – – 1
Magician 3 5 – – 2 1 1

3. Class Tree Charts

A. Legend
Warrior Monk Magician Sage Thief Random
1 BIG ICON = 5 Level Points Total

1 SMALL ICON = 1 Level Point Each

B. Physical Fighter Class Tree
 Note that the tree for Warrior is the same for Monk and Thief.
17
C. Magician Class Tree
18
D. Sage Class Tree
19
E. Amazoness Class Tree
When you take 1 Warrior, 1 Monk, and 3 Thieves as a single class the requirements for
Amazoness classes match up nicely with the rest. It isn’t coincidence that batches of 5 classes
give even stats.

SwoM - Monster Descriptions
The following stuff is just garbage I made up. However the simple bestiary entries aid in
remembering and reasoning out strengths and weaknesses.
1. Fauna
Common mammals that sniff (Smell) things out. They breed frequently since they are can be
attacked with any weapon. They walk on all fours (Earth), are warm blooded (Fire), and prefer
all light (Light, Moon).
2. Flora
These monsters produce too many fragrances to detect others (Hear). Naturally plants (Wood)
like lots of sunshine (Wisp), (Water), and good soil (Gnome)
3. Insect
The eyes of bugs are very tiny (not Viz). Buzzing around, they are easily swatted (Bash) when
the creep & crawl (Earth). They are also rather flammable (Fire) and hate the bats at night
(Moon).
4. Reptile
Not moving often, they sit and listen (Hear) for any nearby prey. The best way to deal with
these cold blooded (Water) creatures is to chop (Slash) off their heads. They like to bask (Light)
on rocks (Earth), and are often venomous (Wood).
5. Fowl
Birds are known for their big eyeballs and keen sight (Viz). Need a good Bow (Jab) is helpful to
reach them in the air (Wind) of clear skies (Wisp). There are some types of (Water) foul and
like all video games, birds are crazy (Moon).
6. Amorph
Being highly viscous all that moisture increase their sense of Smell. Sharp object (Jab) are
required to break their surface tension. Like all slimy things they enjoy the (Dark), are creepy
(Moon), and need heat (Fire) to avoid freezing solid.
7. Aquan
Without fishing mini-game only a harpoon (Jab) can catch these whoppers. Being in (Water) all
day they primary use echolocation (Hear). They don’t play well with electricity (Wind) and
seaweed (Wood) tangles them up.
8. Magicali
These animated objects are seeking other Magical (sense) creatures. Smash (Bash) these
glorified furniture pieces to bits. Being made of magic (Wood), they are imbued with the other
heavenly elements (Light, Water, Wind).
9. Demi-human
With individual clans each one has their own particular sense (Vari) and all are great against
Weapons. They walk upright (Jinn). (Water) will rust their armor and their domesticate life
makes them weak to poison (Wood).
27
10. Undead
Having no (Life) they seek it out. Since they already are dead you cannot kill them again
(immune All). They come out at night (Dark). So burn them (Fire), restore their breath (Wind),
or seize control of them yourself (Moon).
11. Demon
These fallen spirits creep out at night (DarkViz) and sniff (Smell) blood. Stab (Jab) them in the
heart like Vampires. Being evil (Dark) and coming from hell (Fire), they prefer the shadows of
caves (Earth) and the night (Moon).
12. Dragon
There are only three dragons with tough scales that need to be pierced (Jab). Being so
powerful they have mastered both ends of Light and Darkness. This discipline makes them
hate disorder (Moon).
13. Oddball
Eyeballs are big, multiple, or even lacking (Various). Since eyes are super sensitive they have
several defensive traits. No amount of poking (not Jab) or squishing (not Bash) will cause them
to blink. Their big peeper appreciates sun (Wisp) and light (Moon) but did you remember the
last time you got sand (Earth) in your eye?
28
SwoM - Monster Tips

All of the monsters in Sword of Mana (SwoM) have the exact same traits. So here they are in
nice neat tables. The common exceptions are puppet Magicali, skull-beast Undead, eye-spy
Oddballs, and cloud Amorphs. Nocturnal Fowls (bats and owls) just flip their Light & Dark
weaknesses. Elements are listed in the order you get them in game.

SwoM – Black Monsters
Posted in guides, tips
Kill a monster species 1000 times and it will turn Black in color. For attempting to commit
genocide all of its stats are increased by 100.
There are side benefits though. Lucre and Experience are included in the 100 stat boosts. Now
Black Monsters are great for Power Leveling. Finally all Black Monsters drop Crystal or Altena
Felt at 5%. These are the best material is the game. However you will need it to survive these
souped up critters.
SwoM – Cyclopes
Posted in charts, guides
So throughout guides and boards Cyclopes are mentioned in the passing. What are they? Why
are they important? Who cares? You ought to.
1. Basics
Cyclopes are Rare Monsters; one for each element.
They only appear on one screen on their element’s Day, and at the right Time. Assume
Daytime if not specified. (Wisp & Shade are Mana Holy Day.)
They are immune to their element, and weak against their opposite.
They give 300 Experience, the highest of any monster.
Therefore they are the best monsters to Power Level magic. But wait! There’s more.
2. Materials
Cyclopes are the only monsters to
drop Aerolite/Meteors. At 95% too!
Aerolite is the strongest Material
for physical damage and protection.
However they are Dark element
and have low Tempering Limits.
Pancetta (boy) in Menos store will
trade Aerolite for other Materials.
These include the strongest ones in
the game.
He only gives two items for each type of Aerolite e.g. Vinek.
You can always say “No” and talk to him again if you don’t like what he’s offering.
Aim for Altena Felt, Pegasus Hide, Dragon Scales, and Crystal.

SwoM – Rare Monsters
Posted in Uncategorized
1. Basics
Rare monsters are just that. They appear very seldom, at a few locations, and at certain times.
All Cyclopes are Rare Monsters too but special, so they get their own guide. Plain Rare
Monsters aren’t as useful, but they make nice Easter Eggs and keep the Completionist players
busy.
These locations are from ShdwRlm3’s SwoM guide, and he credits some these locations to
Gamer’s Paradise. I don’t have the manpower or hacking skills to force or verify all the
locations.
Rare Monsters throughout these pages are denoted with an asterisk.
Rare Monsters will be the only monster on the map.
All Rare Monsters, except Malboro and Moldy Goo, drop Honey Elixirs at 56%.
The only exclusive materials from Rare Monsters are Centaur Hide from Wormwood*.
Centaur Hide and Dragon Scale armors grant immunities to Petrify and FireMan
respectively.
Rare Monsters give higher Experience than the local monsters. This is great for Power
Leveling weapons & magic.
2. Direction Notes
Unless noted, all Rare Monsters appear in the Daytime.
Entrance and Exit refers to the door not the screen itself. E.g. if you walk into a cave
you are in “the first room from the Entrance”.

SwoM – Hunting Guide
So you need to go out and kill monsters; lots of them? Fast and efficiently too; so you can get
those precious crafting materials, quest items, or Rare Monsters. This is the SwoM way.
1. Treasure Drops
When monsters spawn there is a 50% chance of a chest drop.
If there is a chest drop, it will be assigned to one monster randomly.
The chest will appear if the assigned monster is killed last.
The chest will also appear if the assigned monster dies within the death animation of
the last killed (non-chest) monsters.
Monsters killed in FireMan, Petrified, or Wimp status will still drop chests.
If a Polter Box or Kaisar Mimic is select from the Trap Roulette, the original item is
gone.
Polter Boxes and Kaisar Mimics from traps always drop untrapped chests
(with their item drops.)
Therefore it’s very important to kill monsters efficiently and in the correct order.
2. Stocking Up
“An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of the cure.” Then again, “Planning is indispensable,
but plans only last five seconds after starting.”
The less backtracks to town, the less time

wasted.
Stock up on “bait” items, i.e. Tone Stones,
Blink Weeds, and Potent Posies.
They can be bought at Ishe or cut from
grass.
Sword and Sickle Deathblows are
quickest way to mow.
The Casecade Cave is full of grass.
If you come across Niccolo definitely buy
Gummy Frogs and the appropriate Meat.
Chocolumps and Magic Walnuts are always useful.
Go for broke. The money will be recouped after a single hunt.
If you know the target monsters have an annoying Status Condition. A quick Forge on
Gloves or Boots/Sandals may be in order.
35
3. Location, Location, Target
A good target monster and spot will yield greater rewards.
 Does the monster appear single or multiple times? E.g. Lizardons and Lime Slimes both
drop Bronze, but all screens with Lizardons just spawn 1 while Lime Slimes spawn in 3 or 4
at a time.
 However a single spawning target monster is easier to die last for the chest drop.
 Would a monster with a lower drop rate be less aggravating that a higher one? E.g. Duck
Generals drop Light Coins at 56%, but they appear 2 per screen and are four “dungeons”
from the nearest town. Death Floras drop Light Coins at 21%, spawn 3 per screen, and are
one “dungeon” away from town.
 Do the target monsters spawn close to each other or spread throughout the map?
 Are there any outlier monsters? I.e. monsters that aren’t the target or spawn far from
clumped ones.
 Is there a save Statue nearby?
 Can you get the Best status condition? I.e. stay at an Inn, Magic Rope Trick, and walk
within 4 screens to the location.
4. The Hunt
a) Save at a proper location. E.g. nearby Statue or exploiting Best.
b) Set NPC to 100% Magic.
c) Travel to location with correct Time or Day if required.
d) Eat proper Meat.
e) Commence slaughter.
Kill any outlier monsters.
Gather up the monsters. Tip: use bait items.
Kill them all and take their stuff.
Summon cards and the Amigo Whistle target all monsters but can only be
used once a day.
8-Hit spells target all monsters but use 27 MP.
f) Take a break every once in a while; 20-30 minutes. Save if you get a good haul. Reset if
you didn’t and want to avoid Black Monsters.
Gather them up. Kill them together.

SwoM – Produce
1. Basics
A. Planting
Plant two seeds in the Orchard in the Hot House for a Produce.
Walk in and out of the Orchard to grow all seeds.
Produce grows in the following order on the branches: 5, 8, 1, 2, 7, 4, 3, 6.
Vegetables for weapons are planted on Salamander’s, Dryad’s, and Gnome’s Day.
Fruits for armor are planted on Luna’s, Undine’s, and Jinn’s Day. Mnemonic: LUJ
Mana Holy Day produces both Fruits & Vegetables. I’m not listing the patterns at
the moment.
Seeds are listed by their first initial, except Spiny Seeds which is by the letter Y.
Seeds may be planted in any order. E.g. Round & Long is the same as Long &
Round.
Each day of the week has two Produce that are exclusive to it; they override
regular combinations.
B. Tempering
A tuple is an ordered list of elements.
The tuple for a weapons is (Power, Dodge, Hit, Element); for armor (Slash, Bash,
Jab, Element).
(?,?,?,?) Has a random chance to raise each stat.
Produce is used in Tempering to add it’s tuple to the stats of weapons and armor.
C. Miscellaneous
Bumpkins (1, 0,1,1) are dropped by Bumpkins 21% and Grumpkins 21%.
Citrusquids (1,1,0,0) are dropped by Taxibirds 21%.
Give Honey, a Honey Onion, and Diceberry to Clive the Pharmacist for a Honey
Elixir.
A Dwarf in Ishe smithy will ask for a random produce and give one Dudbear’s Gold.

SwoM – Forging & Tempering Guide
This is a guide on Forging and Tempering Weapons. It is nuanced so that you can play SwoM
free flow and not worry about messing up. It’s very easy; if a little obtuse.
1. Forging Basics
You won’t be able to Forge; until about one-fourth through the game when Watts arrives.
Forging is to take a material such as Foresena Iron and make your weapon/armor out of it. It’s
the main way to increase your equipment’s power. All you do is select the piece, then the
material, and BAM!! New Gear. Sadly the game is awful on listing what can be used to forge.
Check out the Materials page (later) for an overall scheme.
In general the more it costs to Forge, the better the item.

You don’t need to forge all of your weapons, just the ones that are comfortable for
you.
Try to keep a set of Slash, Bash, and Jab weapons.
Even if you aren’t using it, upgrade the Flail with second rate materials. It’s used to
travel pits and cuts down on switching when traveling.
Sage, Mage, LL, and LD Classes can benefit from weapons with a higher Element.
Forge your Armor/Robe periodically since it gives the most Defenses.
Weaker armor pieces such as Gloves and Boots/Sandals can be used for Status
Protection like Poison or Wimp.
2. Poor Combinations
You really cannot go wrong with Forging. Even going at a lower level might have its benefits
with status conditions or Tempering. However there are some combinations that don’t match
very well. For example the Bow is very good against Fowl (bird) monsters, and the Bow can be
made out of Marble. Marble is Wind element, so guess what Birds are strong against? You can
still make a Marble Bow, but skip on Tempering its Element.
Poor Weapon Element Combos

Attack Immune X Less Damage ^
Slash Light, Water, Wood Light, Wind, Moon
Jab Fire, Wind, Dark Fire, Wind, Dark (Bats & Owls), Water, Moon, Light
Bash Earth, Wood Fire, Wind, Dark
3. Materials Breakdown
Here’s the gist of what makes what. Exceptions may apply, void where prohibited, not
exchangeable for Lucre, Dudbears’ Gold, Gil, GOLDS, Kero, or Zenny.

4. Status Conditions
Naturally bosses are tougher than normal monsters. Sometimes it’s nice to prepare armor for
them since the battles are tougher. (Not really but hey it’s nice to know.)

Ultimate Boss Toxic, Sleep
5. Tempering
The game gives you: Tempering before Forging, which is no good. Tempering is more complex,
and the player doesn’t have the materials for it either. Tempering is taking a Fruit/Vegetable
(Produce) and smashing it into your weapon/armor with the same material to somehow
increase its stats. Didn’t get that? No worries. Let’s say you have an Iron Sword. From planting
in the Hot House Orchard you get a Lilypod. The Lilypod adds +1 Element (Ele) to weapons. You
can use that Lilypod and another piece of Iron to temper your Iron Sword for +1 Element.
Tempering is a bit odd since several items are required to temper; seeds, produce, materials.
By the time you are done gathering everything for your new weapon/armor, you probably are
strong enough to get a single material for a better one time forge. Tempering is best done for
the end game or with a single weapon throughout the entire game. You can skip tempering all
together without losing much.
Monsters drop seeds and materials.

Two seeds are planted in the Orchard to make Produce (a Fruit or Vegetable).
Tempering requires Produce and the same type of material for the existing
weapon/armor.
Weapons/armor can be tempered as many times as their Limit (Lmt).
Materials that forge weaker equipment, e.g. Animal Bone, Oak Wood, often have
higher Limit.
You do not need perfect Produce. Sometimes only extra Power or Element is enough.
6. Fool Proof Best Stuff

Still want the best gear? OK. It’s not too hard to get. However everything will explode if you
just look at it.
Every weapon can be made out of Crystal which is the best material.
Heavy armor can be made out of Crystal.
Light armor can be made out of Altena Felt.
Small Seeds + Crooked Seeds on Dryad = best Vegetable
Flat Seeds + Spiny Seeds on Jinn = best Fruit
Mithril from Niccolo’s Secret Shop is the poor-man’s Crystal.

A weapon must have a non-zero Ele value to deal their Spr damage type. Tempering
Ele may be required.

SwoM – Armor
Basics
Sum = Slash + Bash + Jab + Ele
Max = Sum Perfectly Tempered = Sum + 4*Lmt
Armor > Helmets > Boots >= Gloves
Robes > Hats > Sandals >= Gloves
Gloves can be worn by all players.
An armor piece must have a non-zero Ele value to protect from Spr damage type.
Tempering Ele may be required.
I have no idea what monsters do Slash, Bash, and Jab. Their spell trajectories may give
clues, but I’m not sure if they are shared among all of the same Type.

SwoM – Accessories
Accessories are the only pieces of equipment you can buy. Most of them are just single stat
boosts, while others are very powerful. Give the common ones to NPCs. In general the +50
class accessories are not worth it. If you do go for one, Dark-Dark classes are the fastest to
obtain afterwards.

SwoM – NPC Care Guide
NPC are the bane of many Mana players. “They always die. They don’t do anything. Why are
they stuck in the corner?!” The reason is that you, the player, don’t take care of them. Like
neglected little Rabites, they are tossed to the Howlers.
1. Accessorize
One of the easiest ways to boost an NPC is to equip an accessory on them. Check out their
stats and see what they need. Squishy mages could use Defense, while fighters would enjoy
extra Power. The Boy and the Girl are the only permanent NCPs so don’t give anyone anything
too expensive.
2. We Got Spirit
Whenever you get a new Spirit, switch to the NCP and see if they can equip it. Hurray! Another
MP battery.
3. The Emperor Has No Clothes!

Probably the leading cause of NCP fatalities is nakedness. You can Forge and Temper NCP
equipment by pressing L or R when selecting equipment and materials. It doesn’t have to be
much at all. The second best Weapon, and Armor/Robe are huge boosts. Factor in a good
accessory and your buddy will be in tip top shape.
4. AI Demystified 1: Quit Hogging the Snacks

Under the Stat Menu, there is the NPC. Use it wisely.
The horizontal axis is the Magic/Weapons one.

Having the character all the way to the left will
make them use Magic 100% of the time. One
step to the right will make them attack with
Magic 5/6 times and use their Weapon the
remaining 1/6. Etc. All the way to the left will
have them use their weapon 6/6 times i.e.
100%.
NPCs must regain their MP manually; either by

switching over and sitting, (leaving the Player dangerously controlled by their AI), or eating
Magic Walnuts, (hidden under three menu rings). Since this is bothersome, many players keep
their NPC at 100% Weapons, or 1-2 steps away if they are magically inclined. E.g. the Girl,
Lester.
If the NPC is set to 100% Magic and they have 0 MP they will do nothing to the monsters. This
can be useful in Hunting situations so they do not interfere with killing the monsters.
68
5. AI Demystified 2: Spin Around in Circles
The horizontal axis deals with positioning, but first a little monster theory. NCPs have DayViz
and NightViz as their senses. This means that they will go in a straight line to the nearest
monster. Also since they are following monster AI, they randomly search at times. This is when
they take a random step, and turn in all four directions quickly.
NCP Thought Process

1. Walk to the position set by Close-In/Stay-
Back, towards the closest monster.
2. If a monster is there, attack by the
Magic/Weapon setting until it’s dead.
3. If no monster do nothing or do a quick
Search.
4. Return to Player.
5. Repeat till they or the monsters are dead.
The Close-In/Stay-Back access tells the NCP how many steps and in which direction to use their
Vizion [sic]. All the way at the bottom is 1 step behind the player. One square up is 1 step in
front of the player, then 2 steps, all the way to 5.
2 steps = 1 square
Use the weapon’s range to select the perfect spot. A Bow would be great behind you, while
the middling Axe or Lance 1-2 steps. If your NCP is tough with Heavy or Forged armor, up front
might be the best place. This can be especially useful with mixed monster types. E.g. two
Insects and one Bird. The boy can charge ahead at the Bird, while the girl exploits the bugs
weakness to her Staff.
To get the feel of this, try out different Close-In and Stay-Back setting with a safe monster.
Place your Character about 8 steps away from a monster that doesn’t notice you. Now just
stand and watch the NCP move. Notice how they pace back and forth from a particular spot.
That is where their AI is set. Tone Stones, Potent Poseys, Blink Weeds, Dryad Icons (Sleep),
Bubble Boat, Mooglemorphis, and Invisibility can help facilitate this.
All the way Stay-Back. Two down Close-In.
69
One up Stay-Back. All the way Close-In.
70
NCP Grid
Weapon Attack Rate Magic Attack Rate Steps
Magic Stay-Back
0/6 6/6 1 Behind
1/6 5/6 1
2/6 4/6 2
3/6 3/6 3
4/6 2/6 4
5/6 1/6 5
6/6 0/6 6
Weapon Close-In
6. Bloodlust
Once monsters appear, your buddy goes to ‘Crush, Kill, Destroy.” This means their Vizion
moving like the monsters: slowly. If you just walk through the fields, the NCP will be right there
to attack side by side. With the right AI, weapon, and magic setup this can be faster since there
is less gear switching.
7. Strategic Retreat
Despite all these simple tweaks there are some situations that no NCP will live. Rooms with
traps such as lava, spikes, or crushing rocks can stun lock the player, let alone the walking NCP.
Sometimes its best to ignore them until the danger passes.
71
SwoM – Power Leveling
By tirodvd ¶ Posted in guides, tips
An easy way to raise Weapon and Magic levels is to use them on monsters that are completely
immune to them i.e. the sword on a Lime Slime which is immune (X) to Slash.
The more Experience the monster has, the faster levels are gained. Bosses, Cyclopes, and Rare
Monsters are great opportunities to power level since they give high Experience. If you don’t
want to wait and look for those just regular monsters with high Experience will do. Always
double check the Popoi’s Notebook for them.
The quest Spirit Rescue requires that desired Spirit has a magic level 30. This is the only
Weapon/Magic level requirement in the game.
SwoM – Brownie Ring Guide

The Brownie Ring is the most powerful Accessory in the game. +55 to all Stats! Anyone who
wears it breaks the game.
Enter the first small crack in the Subland River

using the Tiny Tapper to shrink.
While in this shortcut cave, enter the second

crack (with the Tiny Tapper again.)
72
While in the crack heal your Wimp Status with a
Stardust Herb.
Wander up and try to Jump north. Keep heading

north and you’ll find the exit.
Talk to the Brownie and select Brownie Ring as his

gift.
The rest of the game is a cakewalk even with the

worst equipment and levels. The Brownie Ring is
can also be sold for a very high price. That would
be useful to buy Dudbears for your Hot House,
(10k luc each).
73
SwoM – Tiny Tapper
The Tiny Tapper is staple Mana series item that causes and cures the Mini status.
I. Getting It
The Tiny Tapper is a reward for “Detective Story” quest. Once you can use the Armory, canon
ball to Wendel, Head to the Cathedral to start the quest. A thief will grab an old lady’s
necklace and it’s up to you to track him down. Catch him four times to retrieve it. Return it for
the Tiny Tapper. Tip: the thief’s last hiding spot is only during the Morning.
II. Treasure Rooms

With the Tiny Tapper you can squeeze through small holes. Most of these lead to chests with
valuable Materials. Tip: if you cannot Mini yourself you have armor with Wimp protection. Re-
forge it to resume shrinkage.

right.

Guide.

SwoM – Honey Elixirs

Honey Elixir is an item that heals 100% HP.

They can only be obtained by Rare
Monsters or Clive the Pharmacist. He can
mix it with Honey, Honey Onions, and
Diceberries. Honey is dropped from the
giant bee monsters, while the others are
grown in the Hot House Orchard. You can
find him in Topple general store, Ishe inn,
and Lorimar Castle.
75
SwoM – Dudbears’ Gold Quests
Posted in guides
Dudbears’ Gold (DBG), like the Dudbears themselves, who are actually badgers, is useless.
Actually it’s used to buy spirits at Ishe inn: Three per spirit, twenty-four for all eight. Every
piece can only be gained from quests. Extra spirits aren’t required to beat the game, only one
is required to complete the Quest, and even Classes that can do 8-Hit Spells only need one.
Here are all of the quests that give DBG in order as you play the game:
I. Single Reward Quests
Where is Dad? Topple –
Talk to Luke (boy) in the le general store. He’ll give you a BBQ Newt and a wild goose chase.
Talk to various townsfolk to track him down. He’ll go to Wendel, Menos, Jadd, Devias’s Manor,
Ishe, and finally Lorimar Castle. You can’t skip to just Lorimar Castle; you must talk to the
people. When you do find him in Lorimar Castle as a guard; take the BBQ Newt Tail back to his
son at Topple.
General Store
Wendel –
Ads
Talk to Dohmi (old man) in the general store to get some Leaflets. Hand out all 15 and talk to
him again for the DBG. You can give them to people both indoors and outdoors. Some people
will only appear at certain times of the day. Use the Magic Rope Trick to search all four times
of day.
Must be completed before getting on the Airship.

Soldier’s Orders Wendel
Completion is required for another DBG Quest.
Talk to the solider Umberto at the Inn during the night. Accept his job. Go to the “Guy Who
Won’t Work’s” house at night and watch his meeting. Talk to Umberto at the Inn during the
day and say that you saw the meeting.
76
Shiny Knight, 2, More, All must be completed and have cutoff
Wendel et al.
Last? points.
Vega (man) is the Shiny Knight and you can always find him at the Inn. He’ll ask for Glittering
equipment. At Wendel he wants Sword. They are dropped by Mushbooms or Pincher Crabs.
The girl must get it from Pincer Crabs. This Quest must be completed before getting on the
Airship.
In Menos Vega wants a Armor, dropped by Rabbilions.
Jadd, Helmet, Cockatrices. This and the previous one must be completed before entering the
Castle.
In the Castle talk to Vega decked out in his armor.
Exploit gives 3 DBG instead of 1 but fails

Black Masks Menos
Quest.
Talk to Toma (man) at the inn to get the Dudbears’ Mask. Cannonball to the Abandoned Mine
(northeast of Wendel’s western gate.) In the first room of the Mine exit southwest; jumping
may be required. Give the mask back to the Dudbears. Return to Toma and talk with him.
Exploit: Cannonball to Wendel and talk to Denton (man) in the general store. Keep refusing his
offers to buy the mask until he gives 3 DBG. Selling the Mask to him will make the
quest impossible to complete.
Eight Coins Menos –
Talk to the solider Delmar in the smithy. Gather one of each Elemental Coin then talk to him
again for the reward. This is best completed when you can freely travel the world.
Chatty Guy Menos –
Talk to Johnny (young male) at the inn. Listen to the philosopher and say that you were paying
attention. Do pay attention since it defaults to “not paying attention”. If you made a mistake
you can listen to again.
77
Must have completed “Soldier’s Orders”. Must be
Resistance Jadd & Menos
completed before Castle.
Talk to Courtney (teen female) in the general store. (No, the other one.) Take her letter to Kurt
(teen male) at Menos general store at Night. Keep playing mailman until they cough up a DBG.
Making Collections Jadd –
Talk to Janka (woman) in the general store. (No, the other one.) Take her invoice to the client
and return to her. Repeat until done. (Exploit: You can ditch out of this when you receive the
money from the 10k luc invoice. The quest can still be completed but you will have to replace
the money yourself.)
Endless Walkway Jadd –
Talk to Mr. Cannel (old male sage) in the southwest corner before you enter the Dune Maze to
hear his riddle. Open the Dune Maze and then talk to Mr. Cannel again.
Seven Wisdoms Ishe Gives 1-7 DBG.
Use the Communication Link to get a Summon Card. Talk to Chekov (old man) in the general
store. He will give 1 DBG for each Summon Card you have. 15 Amigos gives 3 DBG and is the
most cost effective. 100 Amigos gives 7. It’s a lot of work–Start to Save time is 5 minutes for
both the Boy & Girl. Total time 10 hours assuming 1 minute for linking.–but only needs to be
done once.
New Adventurer Ishe –
Speak with Abdul (young male) in the general store. Answer his questions truthfully to get the
Cancun Feather. Talk with Messier (old male) in the same room and decline selling the Feather.
Give the Feather back to Abdul. Finally talk with Messier.
Point of Church Wendel Gives 1-5 DBG
Once you can Cannonball, talk to Pablo (male boy) inside the cathedral. Give him 50
Chocolumps for 5 DBG at every 10th one. He will indefinitely take your Chocolumps but only
gives out 5 DBG.
78
II. Repeatable Quests
Mavole Blood Topple –
Talk to Blasie III (old man) in Topple inn at night. Gather 10 Blood Pouches from Batmos and

Moondrop Ishe –
Talk to Jahari (young male) in the smithy. Give him a Moondrop and select DBG as the reward.
Moondrops can be gathered from Skull Drakes and Fierce Faces.
79
SwoM – Niccolo Guide
Niccolo is a greedy, lying, cheating salesman along the lines of Tom Nook. Smiles are free, but
so is a kick in the pants. He can be found randomly at different locations including dungeons.
I. Gummi Frogs
Niccolo is the only reliable source of these chewy treats. One
bite and your Deathblow gauge is maxed out. These are
awesome if you are playing with a weapon that does not
combo such as the Sickle or Flail.
II. Meats
Again Niccolo is the only reliable source of Meat. Meat doubles the damage and defense of the
character against a particular monster race. Unlike meat from monsters, Niccolo’s covers
multiple races. Meat lasts for one screen making them excellent for bosses, item gathering, or
Rare Monster hunts.
III. Accessories
The Belle-Belle and Chimpfish Iris boost Experience and Lucre respectively. They cost an arm
and a leg, but are worth it if you plan to grind or aim for a Completionist game.
IV. Secret Shop

It’s no secret that Niccolo has a secret shop.
Buy from him 250 times to unlock it. Note that
you must cancel out to the Buy-Sell ring menu
to count as a purchase. Unlocking his shop can
be done as soon as the player has 1250 lucre.
Spend it all on Round Drops, sell them all,
repeat till broke.
The main draw of the Secret Shop is that it has

every Metal and Wood in the game; including
end game quality. Whether you want strong materials for Forging or bulk stock for Tempering,
it’s faster than gathering from monsters.
The Secret Shop accessories are more expensive, but more powerful as well. One gives +20 to
Def and Mnd; another gives +20 to Pow and Int. The final one is +15 to everything! Of course
the Brownie Ring surpasses all of them, but it also breaks the game too.
V. Rare Monsters ???

I highly suspect that Niccolo only appears on screens with Rare Monsters (in addition to empty
screens). I haven’t hunted all of them down, but he does seem to match up with the Cyclopes
and the few Rare Monsters I have found. This could be the developer’s hint of finding them.
80
SwoM – Spirit Quests
There are seven quests to get an extra Spirit for a total of eight. Each of these quests can be
done for all eight elements for a grand total of sixty-four. Don’t worry. Many can be done at
the same time. None are required to beat the game and mostly serve as “post-game” content.
Yes, many of these quests are obscure.
Each additional spirit increases the power of its elemental attack for an extra 3 MP. The final
Mage and Sage based classes can also perform a full screen 8-Hit magic attack if they have
eight spirits.
All quests except the first one can only be done after defeating Malyris and before the
Dime Tower (the point of no return).
Use Mana Holy Day for Wisp & Shade if a particular Day is required.
Spirits are listed in order of travel convenience.
You can say “No” when a spirit asks to join you. Just do the quest again to get it back.
Quests that require specific locations have their own pages with screenshots.

SwoM – Detailed Spirit Quests
SwoM – Finders Keepers (Geodes)

The second Spirit Quest is Geode Hunting. Screenshots have been modified to highlight Geode
location. Here are all the locations in order of travel convenience:

south from Topple. Use the Tiny Tapper to crawl
under the trees.
Dryad, Topple Armory

In a bush of in the southeast corner.
Undine, Lake Vicinity

On the edge of the promontory, one west of
Cibba’s camp. Lake Vicinity is after the Gaia Cave.
Shade, Menos Outskirts

In a patch of sand on a cliff. Go one north and one
east of Menos. Climb up the slopes and exit east.
85
Luna, Ishe’s Armory
Behind the Canon.
Wisp, Crystal Desert

On the edge of a cliff. Head to the most northwest
part of the Crystal Desert, then follow it to its
eastern edge. Remember, crystal bridges only

Devius Manor, room with the two horizontal Wind
Stone Seals.

Subsea Volcano, room after the room full of
Metaballs.
Shade
Sealed Cave, room full of Kaisar Mimics.
