ATELIER AYESHA ENDING GUIDE ver 1.00 Translated from http://wikiwiki.jp/ayesha/ ===== ENDINGS: Journey's End (Normal end): Finish the game without rescuing Nio, or fail to meet the requirements for any of the other endings listed. Magician and Alchemist (Wilbell end): Complete the 'Helping Wilbell' chain after rescuing Nio. Female Excavator's Future (Regina end): Complete the 'Helping Regina' chain after rescuing Nio. And Then the Three of Us (Linca end): Complete the 'Helping Linca' chain after rescuing Nio. Hunter Life (Juris end): Complete the 'Helping Juris' chain after rescuing Nio. The Pursuit of Truth (Keithgrif end - True Ending): Complete the 'Helping Keith' chain before and after rescuing Nio (be careful, see the notes on this one, some events must be done before rescuing Nio!) Hard-working Sister: Complete all the NPC item requests. Treasure Hunter (Harry end): Become the Grand Champion at the item exposition (participate and win in it every single time) Girls-only Gathering!: Complete all the story events involving Wilbell, Nio, Nanaca, Tanya and Mariette. Sage's Retreat: Fulfill the conditions for The Pursuit of Truth, Hard-working Sister, Treasure Hunter, and Girls-only Gathering! If you fulfill the requirements for multiple endings, you can pick your ending. The conversation choices you take at the end decide which ending you see in this case. Here are the possible choices, starting with Nio asking you if you have any unfinished business to take care of in the ending. The choice with one '>' leads to the choices with two '>>'. >'There's that job from Ernie...' >>'I don't have any other plans': Hard-working Sister >>'I already made plans with (character name): Character end. >'I have some deliveries to make...' >>'I don't have any other plans': Girls-only Gathering! >>'I already made plans with (character name): Character end. >'There's that letter from Harry...' >>'I don't have any other plans': Treasure Hunter >>'I already made plans with (character name): Character end. >'I don't think there was anything in particular.': Sage's Retreat >'I've forgotten something really important.': The Pursuit of Truth ===== The 'Helping [character]' quests: Note: Events usually appear in order (you must start with the first one and work your way down). Helping Regina: -Event when leaving Vierzeberg via the grand bridge with Regina and Juris both in your party. -Event in Vierzeberg (younger brother's formal clothes) -Visit Ernie on the world map for an event. -Event in Riesengang at Regina's house. -With Juris in your party, event in Riesengang at Regina's house. -Event in Riesengang. -Event in Water Spring Forest OR Nearby Forest -Year 3 onward: At 80+ friendship, event in Riesengang at Regina's house. -Event in Nearby Forest -Bridge event at Broken Tunnel Ruins -Bring enough wood to complete Regina's item request in Broken Tunnel Ruins. -Event in Riesengang at Regina's house. Helping Regina COMPLETE. Helping Wilbell: -After a certain friendship level is reached, go to the Black Cat shop and complete the treasure hunting event with Wilbell. -At 80+ friendship in the Vierzeberg Atelier, see the magician's excommunication event. -With Wilbell in your party, exit Vierzeberg from the Grand Bridge and see the 'Hunting the King of Wind' event. -At the Island Sea of Clouds, defeat the King of Wind (he will run away if not killed under a certain number of turns, so go full offensive and burn him quick). Helping Wilbell COMPLETE. Helping Linca: Due to heavy overlap with Juris' end, I suggest doing Linca's end along with Juris'. Most of Linca's events won't appear until Year 3. -After having viewed the 'Suitably Powerful Enemy' event (which can be viewed before Year 3 just by traveling with Linca in your party and checking back with Marion in Vierzeberg occasionally), and after deciding to hunt the dragon with Juris (but before killing it), stop by Marion Office to let Linca know about the dragon. -Bring Linca with you and Juris to kill the dragon. -Event in the persistent shade forest. -Event in Marion office after killing the dragon. -Event in the forest highway. -Another event in Marion office after killing the dragon and receiving the 'Helping Linca' quest. -At least a day later, event in the Vierzeberg plaza. -While the Bazaar is in session and friendship with Linca is 80+, event in the bazaar. -Event in Marion office. -At least 10 days later, event in the Vierzeberg atelier. -Event in Marion office. -Event at Esten Wetlands Historic Ruins. Choosing to fight or not to fight doesn't matter, either is fine. -Event in Marion office. Helping Linca COMPLETE. Helping Juris: -Event in the White Crow bar after completing the spicy food/drinks events involving Kyle and Juris. -Wolf event in the White Crow bar at 15+ friendship. -Event in the cliffside highway, wolf appearance. -Event in the White Crow bar. -Event in the persistent shade forest. -5 to 10 days+ after, revisit the cliffside highway and fight the wolf. -Event in the White Crow bar. -Event at Esten Wetlands Marshland (seeing the dragon) -Event at the Salt Desert, seeing the dragon again. -Year 3 onward: Event at Hornheim, decision to hunt the dragon. -Event at Salt Desert Light: Dragon extermination (fight with the dragon). BRING LINCA TO THIS if you want her ending as well! See 'Helping Linca' for more info. -Event in the White Crow bar. Helping Juris COMPLETE. Helping Keith: IMPORTANT: Some of these events can only be done BEFORE rescuing Nio! If going for Keith's end, be very careful to go see his events soon and often. You will be visiting the ancient library a lot! Complete BEFORE Rescuing Nio!: -See the events involving Keith and Odelia at the ancient library up to and including the switchpanel fixing event. -Unlock floating city Steinveder (buy an air balloon and clear the floating islands and a conversation with Keith should eventually unlock it on the map). -Defeat the flying mechanical sky dragon at Steinveder with Keith. -Event at the ancient library. AFTER Rescuing Nio: -Event at the ancient library. -Year 3 onward: Event at the elevated plaza in Hornheim. -Event at the White Crow bar. -Event at the Decaying Historic Ruins island (fight with the rampaging mechanical-sky dragon). Helping Keith COMPLETE. *Additional necessary event even after it says complete at the ancient library: involves Keith and Odelia and you will get a trophy. Notes on Keith's end: It's important to not rescue Nio before clearing the events listed as BEFORE Rescuing Nio! above. If you face the end boss without knowing who or what it is, that means you didn't do it right. You should know the true nature of the end boss and if Keith is in your party, he should talk when you confront the end boss if you're really on track to getting Keith's ending. A New Promise with Nio: I think this might be required for the Girls-only Gathering! ending (in addition to the events with Nanaca, Mariette, Tanya and Wilbell), so here it is: -After rescuing Nio, bring her in your party to visit the following locations: Regina's house, the White Crow bar, the Ancient Library, Marion office, the medicinal plant garden (deepest part), visit her bazaar stand in Vierzeberg on the grand bridge during bazaar time. -Year 3 onward: Event in Vierzeberg's atelier. -Event at Esten Wetlands -Event at the Hornheim bar. -With Nio at Level 30 or higher: Event in Vierzeberg atelier. -With Nio at Level 35 or higher: 10+ days later, event in Vierzeberg atelier again. A New Promise with Nio COMPLETE.
