This is actually a very useful guide. The reason why I am giving it only 4 stars, is that it lacks some very important information. Chaos Frame. This guide does not go into any detail about alignment, and that is very key to the outcome of your game.

For example, if you need low alignment to obtain certain characters, such as Sirens, Archmages, Lichs etc... you would need to train them to up their level, and have them fight HIGH alignment enemies. Fighting high alignment enemies makes yours go down, and fighting low alignment makes yours go up. Not mentioned in guide.

Also, the book does not even mention Chaos Frame. That is how you develop your reputation in the game. Low Frame is when you CAPTURE strongholds vs. LIBERATING them. You cannot monitor your frame throughout the game, in fact you only find that out at the end of them game, but Chaos Frame is KEY to the outcome of the game, and it will effect who decides to join you or not.

In one part of the game, if you answer "....", when Rhade asks you to kill Raskin, you risk the chance of Losing Dio, and you will not get the Zenobians; Aisha, Saradin, Destin, Debonair or Gilbert. Although if you do not have the Zenobians, you would then be able to get Carth and Biske.

This Guide does not explain any of this. But don't get me wrong, it is a very useful tool to have. It gives you a clear picture of what my happen in each board, also it has a very complete and accurate section with Maps, that show you exactly where you can pick up various items. The artwork of this guide is absolutely beautiful. I would recomend to go to a gamefaq website to get more detailed and precise information.

And one more thing, when you are on the map subscreen, go to Hugo Reports and check out events. Make sure you visit often, for you will find "Happy Birthday". You can replay this event and for every 10 years that Magnus has aged, you get a good present.

this strategy guide was great it showe you what to do almost step by step. I own the original ogre battle strategy guide and it was nothing compared to this. the full colour maps where helpfull in finding all the hiden items.... and what can i say buy it is very helpfull.

This book will be a great help to anyone who has never played an RPG before, just to keep track of everything, but for people who have played the previous Ogre Battles will probably find it to be a waste of money.

this guide gave a great overview of the entire game and was definently worth the money, you'll be able to find everything you need with this.

When I got this book and first looked in it, I was surprised to see how many mistakes there were. A lot of charts are wrong, it's missing a lot of important info, it doesn't tell you one of the most important keys to a succesful game, etc., etc. The list goes on and on. But, I must admit that when I've been stuck, it's come through for me. Plus, the maps are a great help. But even with that, this guide deserves no more than two stars.

This game is excellent. Any person that enjoys playing a good rpg is totally welcome to this game. Extended gameplay, character advancement, intricate story line, what was missing? So far I have beaten this game well over 10 times, but everytime it has been the same. Where are the several endings, different story lines, and many different characters? I'm not seeing them.
