"Hidden" Characters: This section is for characters that are not automatically added to your forces during the

true ending plotline. They usually require you play an extra map that you may or may not have to find using the Search command. * * * NOTE: I am assuming that you have cleared all Battle Points and all floors of the Otherworld Gate before you follow the directions below. * * * Name: Yaku Mu Weapon Type: Staff Starting Level: 15 How to find: (After HP2 and before HP3) In Golden, there is a map "Golden Area Forest" (it's near the middle of the Golden area, kind of southwest of the lake right in the middle). Clear it and Yaku Mu will join after the battle. (Simba) Commentary: Average character at best. High HP, and one of the only staff users that is decent in melee combat (there are a lot of unique high level melee staves). Poor AGL means I never really used him. -Name: Kurt Weapon Type: Spear Starting Level: 15 How to find: (Between HP2 and HP3) Clear Battle Point 1 for the Neverland Army. Obtain imformation in Nivea about where to find Brook Valley. Use the Search feature in the Guild to discover it. Enter and fight the battle, but do not kill Kurt. Kurt must survive the battle. He will join after the battle. (Neverland) Commentary: The fact that he can ignore height restrictions when moving is a great benefit in certain maps. Overall solid character. -Name: Rosette Weapon Type: Shortsword Starting Level: 25 How to find: Points (Between HP4 and HP5) Have cleared all available Battle

with the Neverland Army. Obtain location in Helhanpol for the Decayed Ruins. It should be in the Valhalla area, which is the most northwest territory you can reach (the same one as houses the Goblin Tower) Rosette and Nell will join after you clear that map. (Neverland) Commentary: Very good character, and the best thief in the game. Only way to get the Steal skill for the Neverland forces. Also their only shortsword user. -Name: Nell Weapon Type: Staff Starting Level: 25 How to find: See Rosette's description. (Neverland) They join together.

Commentary: Pretty good mage, but Light and Dark never seem as good as the elemental skills, and the components for the level 3 and 4 skills are a pain to get (especially Dark). -Name: Shell Weapon Type: Breaker Starting Level: 1 How to find: (Between HP7 and HP8) If following the True or Rozess route, search just under [eikusueria] lake for a new battle point. Clear it and she will join you. Note, Garnet must still be alive and well. (Rozess) Commentary: Not bad, but starts at level 1 in the second-to-last chapter of the game! She suffers due to the fact that she is a breaker user but has low strength and could really use a staff to be a good mage. There are some good spellcaster breakers late in the synthesis list, however. -Name: Shiro Weapon Type: Glove Starting Level: 1 How to find: You must have completed the requirements for the True Ending, or you will not be able to find the Nameless Temple!!! (After HP8) Have cleared 24 floors of the Otherworld Gate.

Search for the Nameless Temple in the [Kaiserhorn] area (northern portion of the mainland). It is on the peak of the lowest of the four left-most mountains, which are arragned as such: /\ /\ /\ mountain! Commentary: Very good character, but again, starts at level 1 and is found in the last chapter of the game. Recommend use for post-game only. Has special weapon and armor piece that only it can use, which have incredible stats! /\ <----search at the peak of this
