With Julian no where to be found inside headquarters, Synbios and Grace decide to head out into the dark night to look for him. As they begin to search the village they can find no trace of Julian or the villagers! The only thing they can sense is a dark present's growing every stronger in the night! Exploring the village you can find a handful of items, but watch out for the furniture it seems to have developed a life of it's own, Mhahahaha! Picture Item Where Found 30 Gold Coins Inside the shop check the cupboard behind the counter. Brave Apple Found in crate inside a house, near the shop. Scared senseless by the strange events in the village Synbios and Grace find themselves being drawn to the graveyard at the north of the village. As they open the iron gates of the graveyard the they are greeted by a figure dressed in yellow. Revealing himself to be an Elbesem monk named Khan, he advises Synbios to leave this curse village. Just then a door to the left of them opens and in walks a familiar figure of Julian to greet them. Relieved to see that Julian is unharmed and after talking to Khan they learn that they are not the only people in the village. Khan Before they can finish there conversation it appears they have awoken the residents of the graveyard and the villagers too! It doesn't look like their going to welcome you with open arms however! Luckily for Synbios, Grace, Julian and Khan the main gate to the grave yard opens again to reveal Benetram, Dantares and the rest of the team. Drawing their weapons they prepare for battle. There's just one problem you can't kill the villager unless you want to make Quonus a ghost village for real! Time for Khan to wield that Elbesem Orb of his and save the cursed people of Quonus!

With the villagers either permanently resting in peace or sent back to sleep thanks to the Elbesem Orb. Synbios's battalion approaches the dark mansion they can clearly sense the evil aura coming from it. Fearing the worse Benetram explains that Governor Gavin may have sold his village to a Vandal for the steam train technology. Vandal Could it be that the master of the mansion is a Vandal! The team rallies together and prepares to face their most powerful opponent yet. With Khan now a full member of the team they enter the dark mansion. As the door closes behind them, they hear the undead get to their feet they've come to protect their unholy master and in the darkness they here those immortal words "Bring it on Republican Scum!". Note: In the Japanese version the Vandal is called Abdark as that's his name, he is also an inferior Vandal as he doesn't have a spirit inside of him, instead he is the son of a Vandal that does have a spirit. This was cut from the English translation however.

Take your time to explore the mansion, as there are a few items to find, also remember to check the switch in the old machine room, as you will see a strange Goblin called Ratchet appear if you do. Discovering his master is dead he will make a bolt for freedom and leave a lasting impression on the old mansion. Now it's time to leave the mansion and recruit the Wizard Noon to your party. Noon Ratchet As you head outside dawn has broken and the sun has finally risen over Quonus! So long as you didn't kill the Kyon-shi that was Noon, you should see a mage dressed in blue standing near the pond, time to have a chat with him! After Noon has joined your team, you're now free to search the remainder of Quonus and (so long as you didn't bump off the Kyon-shi's that were the shopkeepers) buy and sell items and equipment. Picture Item Where Found Large Mithril Chest in a room on the first floor of the mansion. Black Ring Inside a chest found in the mansion kitchen. Brain Food Found in chest, inside the mill. With the Vandal Curse now lifted and peace restored to the village of Quonus.

But the Empire is not stupid and General Franz stands between them and freedom! Franz As Synbios's battalion approaches the end of the Imperial territory, they see the massive Imperial force of General Franz awaiting them. Outnumbered three to one, things aren't looking good, but with no other options they press on into combat, praying for a miracle. Once again, lady luck is smiling on Synbios however and help will come in a very unlikely form!

Advice: We must stay north, maintain our mobility, engage them on our terms, and keep the scattered! Battle Notes: 1. Shortly after attacking the first group of Franz troop's. Spiriel's army will turn up and the infighting will begin, use this to your advantage! 2. Spiriel, the Lich & the Succubus, will move quickly to escape the battle across the bridge and cannot be attacked or harmed during this battle 3. The White Lord's will also move to escape the battle once they have removed any troop's blocking their path. They can however be attacked and will attack you if you block their path. With the battle over Franz is in a state of shock, having been betrayed by one of his fellow general's. As they cross over the bridge they arrive in neutral territory nearly there now. But what was General Spiriel thinking attacking her ally and where was she headed? It's at this point Benetram will point out about the nearby Vagabond Caravan and asked if you want to stop there for a moment. Stopping at Vagabond will not effect the next battle in any way and if you don't stop there, you will lose the chance to get three extra team members! Vagabond Vagabond is a peace travelling cavern, it may be a little different to the normal towns but at least it has every thing you need. Take your time to explore the caravan, as there's quite a bit to find and do. Picture Item Where Found Swift Boots Inside crate in the hospital tent, near where Justin is standing. Middle Road Ruin's Map Chest in the outside pen. Health Bread Found in a barrel near the chest, to the left of the pen. Large Mithril Barrel inside a tent. Large Egg Buy from from the old women, inside a tent for 100g. Once you've picked up all the items available, first thing to do is to look for Ratchet outside you should find him hiding near some crates, so long as you spoke to him in the mansion at Quonus. As with before when you spoke to him he will run off again, but don't worry, as he'll join you in chapter four now. Next up in one of the tents is an old lady who found a large egg speak to her and ask her to sell the egg to you for one hundred gold coins and don't let her eat it! Now remember that chicken that joined us in chapter two well, take the large egg and use it on the chicken. After the egg has hatchet you will see it make a bolt for the exit and away it goes, don't worry that was Penn and you can also now recruit him in chapter four. Last but not least head into the large tent acting as a hospital and speak to the wounded centaur named Justin. Synbios begins to question the ex-member of Edmund unit but he refused to say why he was left behind by Edmund and asks Synbios to leave. Now as you try to leave Vagabond, Justin will emerge from the large tent and ask you to wait, explaining that Edmund has started to doubt about the Republic. He asks to join Synbios's team and who can say no to a bow knight archer! Justin Ratchet Penn With Justin now a member of your team, there is nothing left for you in Vagabond, so it's time to head out! Note: Provided you haven't missed any one your team will now consist of 13 team members, if this is the case then Justin will be placed into the reserve team and you will need to speak to your advisor if you wish to place him into the forward team. Basanda Spiriel Guardian Statue Leaving Vagabond Synbios and Benetram spot Basanda and Spiriel, and to their horror they realize that they are about to attack the Guardian Statue of Elbesem. Weapon at the ready they rush to protect it but, with Basanda and Spiriel so far ahead of them, will they be able to reach them in time to prevent the destruction of the Statue.

Advice: 1. Synbios, fight with all your strength. We must stop General Spiriel, and Bulzome's dark plan. 2. Though we couldn't stop Basanda's plan, this is no time for regrets. Synbios, destroy Spiriel! Advice 1 will turn to 2 after the Guardian Statue has been destroy! Battle Notes: 1. Try as you might it is impossible to save the Guardian Statue from it's fate!. 2. Basanda, will leave the battle after the Guardian Statue to investigate a mystery presents! She can't be attacked or harmed in this battle.

By destroying it Basanda's and the other high priest of Bulzome have released their true power and are now free to invade the Holy City of Elbesem, now that it's protection has fallen. Even more alarming is the dark aura that appeared during the battle, before Synbios can ask any questions however, Basanda reappears with a bump! Synbios can only wonder who wields that kind of power, but out of the shadows a dark but familiar figure appears! Galm It is none other than the great Vandal Galm from Shining the Holy Ark! Upon Galm's arrival Julian rushes to face him, drawing his blade he challenges Galm to a duel. Galm accepts but warns Julian that he is no match for him. Sure enough Julian can't even land a blow on him before Galm tosses Julian into the waterfall below! With that Galm disappears for good and Synbios's now must now also deal with the loss of a loved companion! In the commotion it also appears that Basanda and Spiriel have disappeared. With no other options they hurry to the bridge over the waterfall to see if they can find Julian and enter the Republic! Garzel Edmund Arriving at the bridge they find a regiment of Imperial troops waiting for them, even more alarming is that they seem very confident in winning this battle. Benetram advises every one to move carefully as something just doesn't feel right!

White Ring In Chest on South Eastern cliff top, only Eldar can reach it! Advice: 1. Careful, Synbios. There must be a reason for General Garzel to be so confident. Keep your troops together. 2. Those who master the landscape master the battle, Synbios. Position your troops where you gain advantages. Advice 1 changes to 2 on the arrival of Edmund and his troops. Battle Notes: 1. As you near the bridge Garzel will spring his trap! 2. Edmund will appear near Garzel and five Aspia Soldiers will appear from the south cliff face. 3. Don't worry about fighting Edmund, as you cross the bridge Garzel will remove Edmund from the battle in a spectacular scene! With the bloody battle over Synbios's party, start their search for both Julian and Edmund, but with the waterfall so fierce it looks like neither could have survived the fall. Against everyone else's wishes Benetram calls off the search, fearing the worse. Soon afterward Medion joins Synbios at the bridge after discussing events, Benetram requests if Medion will head to the Elbesem to see what Bulzome is planning. Medion also thanks Benetram for allowing Zero to help them, but he requests that he returns with Synbios back to the Republic, after a tearful fair well from Syntesis and Uryudo, Zero returns to Synbios's team. Medion Uryudo Syntesis As the two sides say fair well to one another, Synbios marches on to Aspinia, while Medion forces decide to head to Barrand. Both sides are unaware that their quest is only really beginning! Resume of Chapter 3 The Vandal was a strong opponent, but Synbios brought back life to Quonus Village by defeating it. They then defeated the General Franz and finally escaped Imperial territory. They defeated the Spiriel army who destroyed the Guardian Statue of Barrand, and were close to Republican territory, but two powerful generals, Edmund and Garzel stood in their way. With the aid of Medion at the railroad switch, a newfound trust was born, and the alliance formed by that trust helped defeat the two powerful generals. The two armies part, oblivious to the hardship ahead.
