End Of Battle
`-------------.
The battle ends when you defeat all the enemies.
WARNING: When all your party members ate either defeated or
paralyzed, the game is over.
After The Battle Ends
---------------------
When you win the battle, you gain experience points (EXP), money (GG)
and Master Points (MP) according to the type and number of enemies
that you defeated. In addition, you may find items dropped by the
enemy.
Level Up
--------
Each character gains some experience points per battle, and when it
reaches a certain amount, the character levels up. Your parameters
will also increase (SPEED, ELEMENTAL POWER, including CHARISMA for
Meis), after levelling up.
- Page - 24
Master System
`-------------.
Coming from a family of Spirit Blacksmiths, Meis can strengthen
existing weapons, level up, add new features, spells, and even special
attacks to that weapon. This is called Master System. In order to
forge a weapon, the Master Points (MP) and a girl's Intimacy Level are
required. A girl's assistance is a must for making a weapon stronger
by imbuing it with an Elemental Spirit.
Effects Resulting From The Growth Of A Weapon
`---------------------------------------------.
Since the weapon acts as a tool for both offense and defense in this
game, the growth of a weapon is a very important factor. By
strengthening a weapon, the defensive power, as well as the offensive
power, increases. Special attacks and magic spells can also be added
to the weapon. See page 27 for details.
1. The performance of the weapon increases.
2. New special attacks may be acquired.
3. Spells become available.
Important Note:
Each girl can imbue different spells and/or special attacks at
different intimacy levels. You can raise any girls intimacy level up
to 10 at any given time. However, Meis' charisma level must be equal
to or higher than a girl's intimacy level in order to imbue those
spells and/or special attacks on any given intimacy level. Be
careful, and make sure that you watch Meis' charisma level, otherwise
you might miss a spell or attack when you go to forge your weapons
because your charisma isn't high enough.
- Page - 25
Things To Do Before Forging Weapons
`-----------------------------------.
1. Win Battles
A certain amount of Master Points are expended every time a weapon is
strengthened. In order to gather enough MP for strengthening a
weapon, you need to go into battle. Every time you win a battle, you
will be given a certain amount of MP, as well as experience points
and money.
Additionally, by gaining experience points and levelling up, Meis'
Charisma level rises. This will affect the girl's Intimacy Level.
2. Increase The Girl's Intimacy Level
The strength of the Elemental Spirit that will be imbued in a weapon
is determined by the girl's Intimacy Level. That means you need to
increase the Intimacy Level to make the weapon stronger.
You can increase the Intimacy Level by going on dates with the girl.
Be careful not to make the girl mad, or else Meis' Intimacy Level
will go down instead. As Meis' Charisma level increases, so does the
maximum limit of each girls Intimacy Level.
* See Page 29 for additional information.
- Page - 26
To Strengthen A Weapon
`----------------------.
The weapons of the party members can only be strengthened by Meis, the
Spirit Blacksmith. You can do so at the smithy in cities, towns, and
some dungeons.
Procedure
---------
After pressing the (X) button in front of the anvil, select the girl
that you want to strengthen the weapon with. A weapon selection
window will open up. You can then check the magic spells / special
attacks that are going to be added, as well as the MP consumption
rate for each weapon. Select the weapon, the press the (X) button to
confirm the action. You will not be able to strengthen weapons that
require more MP's than you have.
- Page - 27
Power Of Elemental Spirit: Special Attack
-------------------------
Depending on the weapon, the girl, and her Intimacy Level, special
attacks may be acquired. Each special attack can influence the
course of battle greatly; the more you acquire, the easier your
journey will be.
Power Of Elemental Spirit: Magic Spell
-------------------------
By infusing the girl's feelings, the Elemental Spirit dwells within
the weapon that is being forged. The use of a new magic spell
becomes available. Note that the only way to acquire new spells is to
strengthen the weapons with the girls you meet.
Another Method Of Obtaining MP
`------------------------------.
MP's can also be obtained in cities and towns. There are certain
locations where Elemental Spirits reside, and by pressing the (X)
button in certain places you can obtain MP's.
- Page - 28
Going On A Date
`---------------.
In order to get acquainted with a girl, and to make weapons stronger,
going on a date is absolutely necessary. To go on a date, go to a
city / town and press the (X) button in front of a statue of the
goddess. Next, select the girl that you want to go on a date with and
press the (X) button. Finally, choose between DATE, PRESENT and
MINI-GAME.
Date
----
Once you select DATE, the girl you choose will appear behind you.
Take her to a Date Spot! (There are several Date Spots in each city
/ town). You will be prompted when you reach a Date Spot. Select
YES and press the (X) button to confirm. You will then be transferred
to conversation mode, where the girl will ask you various questions.
If you answer positively according to the girl's personality, your
Intimacy Level with her increases. But if you upset her, your
Intimacy Level with that girl may decrease.
- Page - 29
Present
-------
When you select PRESENT, the list of presents in your inventory
appears. Choose the present that you want to give to the girl, then
press the (X) button. Your Intimacy Level increases if the girl
likes the present, but the reverse situation is also possible.
Mini-Game
---------
You can play a different mini-game with each girl. After you select
MINI-GAME, START GAME, TRAINING, and INSTRUCTION will be displayed.
Before starting the mini-game, it is advised to first read through
the instructions and try the training game. Try your best, because
your Intimacy Level with that girl will increase if you do well. On
the other hand, your Intimacy Level may go down if you don't do well.
Intimacy Level And Mood
`-----------------------.
The Intimacy Level of a girl indicates hoe much Meis means to her.
The mood of the girl will be represented with a heart icon. The girl
is happy when the heart is filled, and she is in a bad mood when the
heart is empty. Not that you are likely to get a positive result when
you date a girl in a good mood, but there are conversations that can
only be heard when the girl is in a bad mood.

Opening Song
"Depend on You"
Performed by Ayumi Hamasaki
written by Ayumi Hamasaki & Kazuhito Kikuchi
arranged by Akimitsu Honma & Takashi Morio
published in the U.S. by Peermusic Ltd. (BMI)
As translated from the original Japanese lyrics.
If there ever comes a time
when you need to go on a journey,
let's start it together, you and me.
When you are about to reach the goal you've been always striving for,
what would you do if you realize that it's still so far away?
"How long do I have to go on?" "Will there ever be an end?"
How will you spend your uncertain days by yourself?
Are you tired from your flight? You can't go on anymore?
You can rest your wings and be comforted,
Because I will always be here for you.
If there ever comes a time
when you need to go on a journey,
let's start it together, you and me.

Ending Song
"Two of Us"
Performed by Ayumi Hamasaki
written by Ayumi Hamasaki & Daisuke Miyachi
arranged by Akimitsu Honma
published in the U.S. by Peermusic Ltd. (BMI)
As translated from the original Japanese lyrics.
I was dreaming about resting in your arms;
I woke up and noticed I was alone.
I started crying from loneliness.
The color-faded sofa, the pair of cups that we used,
The bed that's too large for me alone...
I'll get over them, someday.
I didn't love you so that you could keep on loving me.
I thought I knew that, but now I can't go to sleep.
The song that we liked,
The movie we watched together...
I can't forget them. I was hoping that tomorrow,
Everything would go back to the way it was...
Since then, I tried calling you once.
The girl who answered the phone
Had a gentle voice.
Your voice calling my name,
The fingers that ran through my hair,
The eyes that were so pure...
Now, they're so far away...
We laughed together, we argued together,
We believed in each other; I'm all alone.
I want to see you again.
I know, I have to give up my hope...

Age: 16
Hometown:
Kant, a town in the countryside of Tradguld.

Very true to himself, for better or for worse. Puts 100% effort to
what he believes is right. And what's right is his passion for the
opposite sex.
Note:
The son and heir to the Triumphs, a noble family of Spirit
Blacksmiths. Very passionate, especially toward women of his type,

Personality:
A down-to-earth girl, who believes in Meis, no matter what.

accordingly. Most likely with a slap to Meis' head.
Muza Grifford

Hints
-----
- The key to succeeding in Thousand Arms is to DATE, DATE, DATE! When
you do well on dates with certain girls they will give you access to
new spells and powers that can be passed on to other characters in
your party!
- Talk to everyone you meet at least once or twice, they may give you
helpful information to complete your quest.
- Stock up plenty on healing items and recovery items. You never know
when you might need them.
- Practice using the "CANCEL" command during battle and watch what the
enemy does. The wrong spell or the wrong command at the wrong moment
can spell disaster for your party.
- Remember all of your special attacks are replenished when you visit
an Inn. Also, only use your special attacks when you really need them.
- SAVE OFTEN! You never know when the next battle will be your last!
Tips on how To Enjoy The Game But Won't Necessarily Help You Beat It
-------------------
- As much as the Dating portion of the game is important, don't take
it too seriously. Don't always pick the same choices even if they are
the correct ones. Have fun with it! We didn't record over 12 hours
of dialog just so that nobody would hear it! Also, you can't get
everything if you always do well during your encounters! (Hint,
Hint!)
- Try to collect and use all of your party members' special attacks,
you'll be glad you did!
- Don't pass up any treasure boxes you see, you never know whatcha
gonna get!
