Prologue

Seek the water of life. Long ago, miasma swallowed the world. Its very touch was fatal, and it claimed many lives. But we have since discovered a way to hold it at bay. Crystals protect us from miasma. Smaller crystals now guard the villages of the world, while greater ones guard the cities. We all live our lives within the embrace of the crystals' blessing. The power of the crystals is not limitless, however; it gradually diminishes over time. We must rekindle the crystals' radiance each year by purifying them with myrrh. In turn, they protect us from the miasma for another year. But myrrh cannot be found just anywhere. We must seek it in the dank depths of dungeons, across forbidding mountains, even beyond the sea. This task falls to groups of young men and women sent off each year by every town the world over. It is their duty to collect myrrh and bring it home. They are known as the crystal caravans. This is the tale of one such caravan and its adventures.

Your Journey's Goal

Join a crystal caravan to seek out myrrh trees and collect their myrrh. Once you've filled your chalice, return home. By purifying the crystal with myrrh, you will renew its power to protect the village from miasma for another year. Many dangers and mysteries lie along your journey. Your task is not an easy one, but you are not alone. Join forces with your fellow caravanners and make your mark together in the Crystal Chronicles.
The Crystal Chalice Collect and carry myrrh in the crystal chalice. The crystal shard attached to it protects the caravan from miasma.

Basic Controls

Learn these basic controls before setting out on your journey. Controller Configuration For single-player mode, connect a Controller to Controller Socket 1. For more details, see p. 20. The Control Stick and the +Control Pad share the same functions.
Game Boy Advance Configuration For multiplayer mode, a Game Boy Advance is connected with a Game Boy Advance cable and used in place of the Nintendo GameCube Controller. You cannot use the Controller to play multiplayer mode. For more details, see p. 26. Details on connecting the Nintendo GameCube Game Boy Advance cables can be found on p. 42. In multiplayer mode, the +Control Pad replaces the Control Stick.

Getting Started

The following explains how to start a game from the title screen. First, choose "New Game" or "Load Game."

New Game

World Map Menu
The world map menu is used to create characters, change caravan members, save data, and more.
Menu for the Whole Caravan
At the world map, press the B Button to open the world map menu. Use the Control Stick to cycle through the menu options, and press the A Button to confirm your selections.

Some magicite can be fused together or with weapons to create entirely new spells or attacks. Simply place the magicite or weapons into adjacent slots on the command list. To split a fused spell into its original components, select the spell, then select the "Split" option that appears. To fuse them together again, select a component, then select the "Fuse" option that appears along with your inventory. Some magicite combinations require three stones instead of two. Results also vary with the order in which the stones appear on the command list.
Items Assigned Automatically

Treasures

Artifacts You're Holding This menu lists artifacts you have collected in the current dungeon. The effects of these artifacts last only until you exit the dungeon.
If you have empty command slots and pick up magicite or phoenix down, it is automatically assigned to those command slots. This occurs in both single-player mode and multiplayer mode.
Current Funds Here you can check how much money (gil) you currently have. You can also drop money onto the ground. Use the Control Stick to specify the amount of money to drop. You cannot drop money while holding the chalice.
Mog, Your Travel Companion
Whenever you venture out into the miasma, Mog will accompany you. If the chalice is on the ground, press the X Button to have Mog pick it up. Press the X Button again to have him drop it. You can also call Mog close by holding down the X Button.

Paint Mog

Favorites
Food Preferences This menu lists eight kinds of food according to your likes and dislikes, with your favorites at the top (p. 36). The more you like a certain food, the more HP it restores when you eat it. Depending on what you eat, your tastes may change over time.
When you visit a moogle nest, Mog will ask you to paint him. You can paint him red, green, or blue. You can also trim or wash his fur. Mog's appearance affects certain aspects of combat. The radar section (p. 23) explains how to view the optional radar with a GBA connected to Controller Socket 2.

Family

Family Bonds A face icon appears beside the name of each family member. Its expression ranges from happy to angry, depending on how well you're getting along with that person. Correspondence and other communication with each family member affect your relationship. These relationships influence various events in the game as well.

In single-player mode, this appears if Mog has not been painted. with 2 players Monster Radar X marks indicate monsters in the vicinity. In singleplayer mode, this radar appears if Mog has been painted primarily red. with 3-4 players Scouter Shows data on the last monster defeated.

When you speak to shopkeepers in multiplayer mode, the shop menu will appear on your GBA. Aside from this, shopping and crafting are handled the same way as in single-player mode.

Adventuring Basics

Here are six important things every traveller should know:

Elements of the Crystal

Status Ailments
Some enemy attacks inflict status effects. All ailments except death can be cured with the spell Clear. Rotate the Control Stick or +Control Pad rapidly to shorten their duration.

Status Ailments Burning

Crystals can possess one of four elements: fire, water, wind, or earth. The element of your chalice's crystal affects the entire caravan. You cannot pass through certain places without the correct element.
Changing Your Element at Hot Spots
Fire engulfs you, inflicting damage and lowering your defense.

Freezing

You are encased in ice and cannot move.

Slowness

You can change your crystal's element at hot spots, which are found inside dungeons. When you place the chalice upon a hot spot, the crystal gleams, and its element and color change. Each element grants the entire caravan a certain resistance. Elements and Their Effects
Electric shock immobilizes you.

Your movement grows sluggish.

Paralysis

Your movement quickens.
Time stops, immobilizing you.

Poison

Grants resistance to fire.

Your attributes are temporarily cut in half.

Petrification

You turn to stone and cannot move.
This occurs when you lose all HP. You can press the A Button to wave to your friends.
Miasma streams divide the world into sections, and each stream possesses a certain element. To cross each stream, you must make sure your crystal's element matches that of the stream. The stream repels any who carry a different element.

Game Over

The game ends when all members of the caravan are defeated in battle. Select "Continue" to resume the game from the area where you were defeated.
Puzzles and Special Objects
As you explore dungeons, you will encounter many puzzles that you must solve in order to proceed. Sometimes you'll find objects that prove useful in battle.
Weary adventurers look forward to letters from home, especially after fighting long battles. Here are details on receiving letters and sending replies: Receiving Letters and Sending Replies

Families and Professions

Each family has its own family trade. Depending on your family's specialty and your relationship with them, they might give you a deal on items or grow certain foods for you. Send some seeds home in the mail, and your family will plant them to grow crops.

Features of Artifacts

1 Various Effects
Some artifacts enhance your attributes, and some increase your HP. Many artifacts are hidden throughout the world.

Artifacts You Find

Artifacts you pick up inside dungeons grant their effects immediately. However, they disappear once you leave the dungeon. They remain in your possession until you defeat the boss of the dungeon.
Farmer Miller Merchant Blacksmith Fisherman Tailor Rancher Village Elder Alchemist 3 Artifacts You Keep
Artifacts are distributed among caravan members after a dungeon's boss is defeated. Each player can pick one artifact to keep. In multiplayer mode, the player with the most bonus points gets first choice.

Blazin' Caravans

Blazin' Caravans is a minigame for multiplayer mode. Multiplayer Mode Only A minigame called "Blazin' Caravans" is available once you fulfill certain requirements. You can only play it in multiplayer mode. Playing the Minigame After fulfilling the requirements, talk to a certain character and select "Let me play a minigame." Once the caravan selection screen appears on your Game Boy Advance, minigame data transfer is complete. Even if you disconnect the Nintendo GameCube Game Boy Advance cable, you can race alone against the computer. Once a race ends, select "Resume Race" to race again or "Quit Race" to return to your adventure. If the cable is removed, you must turn the Game Boy Advance off and then on again in order to exit the minigame. Your race results will be lost if the Game Boy Advance system is turned off. Sleep Mode If you disconnect the Game Boy Advance from the GameCube, you can activate sleep mode by pressing START and selecting the "Sleep Mode" option from the menu. Your race results will be lost if you turn the Game Boy Advance off, so use sleep mode if you just want to take a break from the minigame.

Returning a Guest Character To return a friend's character to his original caravan, you must first save the game and turn off the Nintendo GameCube. Then swap the positions of the Memory Cards. In other words, insert the guest character's original Memory Card into Slot A, and insert your own Memory Card into Slot B. Next, load his original game data. Select "Bring a Friend" and then "Transfer Character," and choose the guest character you would like to return. Deleting a Character You can delete characters by selecting "Delete Character." By selecting a character that is currently abroad, you can cancel his "abroad" status and revert his data to the condition it was in before it was transferred. This is useful if that character's guest data is lost. Be aware that once you cancel a character's "abroad" status, the character's guest data can never be returned to its original Memory Card.
To exit sleep mode and return to the minigame, press the L and R Buttons and SELECT simultaneously.
