Not sure where The Tomb of the Unknown King is located from Deling City? view the Worldmap!
When you arrive at the tomb, you will see two girls (dressed in Garden uniform) running away from inside. There's a Save Point on the right and a Draw Point on the left.
Head up and cross the bridge. If you know Japanese, you will know that the attendant has given you a map of the tomb (a quite simplistic layout), you can view it while in the tomb by pressing SELECT. If you want to exit the tomb at any point, press SELECT and X and choose the first option.
| Map of the Tomb Key | |
| Blue Line | Footpath |
| Yellow Line | Bridge |
| G.F. | Guardian Force Brothers Hideout |
| Right | The section where you meet 'Sacred' of the Brothers |
| North | The section where you find a Chain locking the wall |
| Left | The section where you find a lever activating gears |
| Press SELECT: To activate the map, X: To exit from the tomb. | |
Enter the tomb with precaution, the monsters here are quite tough. You should on a straight path; Straight paths are very important. Head north and you should reach a junction. There is a gunblade with a number (I got the No. 016, but it seems that the password is random each time you play).
You could return back to Deling City and complete the next section but you can get another Guardian Force, so here goes; Head right at the first junction and keep heading towards the 'RIGHT' section. You will eventually find a small room with a statue of a figure. Talk to it and it will move! You will now have to fight the first BOSS of the tomb:
| Sacred | |||||||
| LV | 11 | HP | 1,778 | Mug | AP | 20 | |
| Draw | Win | ||||||
| Shell, Protect, Berserk, Life | 8x G-Hi-Potion | ||||||
| Weaknesses & Immunities | Attacks | ||||||
| Weak: Poison, Wind; Absorb: Earth | (regenration of HP), (attack) | ||||||
| This guy is rather tough due to his high attacking power and he casts Regen which will give him extra HP. Cast Silence/Dispel to prevent this. Smash the guy with all your G.F's and Magic. | |||||||
After the battle, there is a short talk and Sacred will run away. Heal your party to full health and head up back to the junction. Now head towards the 'NORTH' section and you will eventually reach a small room with wall locked by a chain. Press Circle on the right and Squall will untie the chain, letting water flow out that was previously blocked by the barrier.
Next, head back to the junction and keep turning right at the junctions, heading towards the 'LEFT' section. In the small room, you will see a lever on the left and some gears. Now press Circle to activate the gears and water will flow in. You have now activated the bridge leading to the Brothers' hideout.
Make your way back to the entrance either by walking or pressing SELECT and the X (which affects your SeeD level). Head towards the area on the map above which is located by a yellow line (i.e. the bridge). Now you will meet Sacred and he will call for his brother, Minotaur. Prepare to fight.
| Sacred | |||||||
| LV | 11 | HP | 1,778 | Mug | AP | 40 | |
| Draw | Win | ||||||
| Shell, Protect, Berserk, Life | 8x G-Returner, 8x G-Hi-Potion, Sacred's Card | ||||||
| Weaknesses & Immunities | Attacks | ||||||
| Weak: Poison, Wind; Absorb: Earth | (attack), (HP regeneration), Mad Cow Special (combined) | ||||||
| Minotaur | |||||||
| LV | 15 | HP | 3,375 | Mug | AP | 40 | |
| Draw | Win | ||||||
| Shell, Berserk, Protect, Double | 8x G-Returner, 8x G-Hi-Potion, Sacred's Card | ||||||
| Weaknesses & Immunities | Attacks | ||||||
| Weak: Poison, Wind; Absorb: Earth | (attack), (swap all), (HP regeneration), Mad Cow Special (combined) | ||||||
| Aim all attacks on Minotaur, the more dangerous one. Cast Silence to prevent them from regenrating their HP (Regen). Minotaur's 'Swap All' does about 100+ damage to all your party members. Their physical attacks also do about 120+ damage to each member. Cast Cure* to regenrate lost HP. Use your special moves when needed. Beware of their most devastating trademark; the Mad Cow Special which affects all your characters. Use your G.Fs as they will do damage to both of them at once. | |||||||
After the defeat of the Brothers, you will meet the dead king's spirit and he will give you the Brother's card. You will now be able to summon them for in battle. Press SELECT and then press X to exit (again, it is best to make your way yourself). Reorganise your party if needed and save your game.
Now head back to Deling City.
