Solution

Preface:
The level of the main character listed is applicable to Kamil. This may vary from game to game.


Lemele's castle
Receive the crystal from King Lemele.


Lemele
Buy potion 1 and drink the water (in the fountain inside the house) to refill the HP by 5. Fight the monsters outside the town to build up levels.


Rablesk
To proceed further, you need the key to open the "Gate of the Earth". The ghost of a dog called Romus is in Aran castle and has the key. Talk to Gain in the tavern to get the promise of a Map when you obtain the key and open the gate.


Aran castle
You have to be at least level 5 to be able to survive and challenge Romus (see cheat note) OR you have to be level 10 to be able to beat Romus normally in the first attempt. (Cheat: at level 5, you will have a tough time to defeat Romus, but there is a way. Let him defeat you; when you are revived, get the whistle from the old couple in the house in the lower right-hand corner of the town. Use the whistle when you fight with Romus.)


Gate of the Earth
You will meet Pison here. You have to be around level 13 to defeat him.


Bonro
Find Gain to get the Map. Enlist other apprentices to your party (they won't fight you here). If they refuse, raise your level and ask again. (In my case, at level 14 Kamil asks Olvan to join him). If your main character is Lux or Esuna, you might be able to get a ship ride to Pandam.


Zellis
Find the historian Brantu. You need him in your party to open the big stone in Cave of Melenam. If you haven't enlisted anyone's help in Bonro, you should ask around here. Or if you change your mind about your partner, try asking around here. (In my case, Kamil drops Olvan and enlists Lux). After this town, don't talk to any apprentices unless you want a fight.


Cave of Melenam
When you enter, find the red flashing light in your crystal display. It is the Wind Rune. Get it first before doing anything. It will be wise to get out and save yourself when you got the Wind Rune. When you get to the exit (blocked by stone), Brantu will open it.


Melenam
Nothing special here. You cannot save here. Use the Wind Rune to go back to Zellis to save.


Cave to Eygus
Pison is here again. He becomes Red Pison and is tougher than before. You need to be at least level 17 to beat him.


Eygus
Nothing special here. One man will show you to the entrance to a tunnel that leads to the continent.


Cave to Pell
Go down the stairs in the back room of the house in Eygus to enter the cave.


Pell
South SE from the exit of the cave. You will meet an unemployed, singing digger hanging out at the tavern. Talk to him and later you can offer him a job. Stock up on items; there is no shop in Guntz.


Guntz
South SE of Pell. Guntz needs water. If you keep pressing the town sage, he will eventually promise to give you the Water Rune if you can bring water back to Guntz. Use Wind Rune to go back to Pell and bring the digger here.


Patrof
East of Guntz. One of the apprentice has grasped control of Patrof and rules from the castle. Find a hidden passage to the castle under one of the tombstones. Get B. Power.


Patrof castle
You should be level 20 to 22. Fighting method:

  1. B. Power
  2. Defense
  3. Attack
  4. (Attack again if needed)

An easy way: answer YES to join the bad apprentice so you can go through the front gate. After you save, come back to the bad apprentice and say YES you've changed your mind.

An easier way: let your main character die before you talk to the bad apprentice. In the battle, revive your main character. You will get the Star Rune after you defeat the bad apprentice.


Bone
Get the remote control from a lost kid from Bonro. You won't find him if you haven't got the Star Rune.


Cave of Milto
Find the unusual section of the wall. Use the remote control on it to reveal an opening. Inside you'll find a scientist who has created a submarine. He'll take you to Dowaine.


Dowaine
A boy in town will sell you items valued between 50 and 500G for 100G.


Pang
Pang is kingdom of the Dwarves. If Olvan is part of your party, you'll hear about the secret Cave of Laosu. Search the ground for Potions.


Grime tower
Only Olvan can use the entrance to this tower, and he must use a Gold Key acquired in Bone. At the top is a Warp Tile that leads to the North tower.


Belaine
Belaine is a industrial city. There are a lot of weapon shops, so visit each before making a purchase. If you have a wizard in your party, you should get the "Muramasa Sword" for the wizard. If you only have Kamil and Lux like I do, don't bother (it is not as good as those in the normal weapon shops).


Telaine
The old man who lives next to the castle will tell you about Luze and the Sky Rune.


Cave of Beore
Don't waste time in the cave.


Luze
Defeat the dragon to get to the Sky Rune. If someone stole it, don't worry. Use the Wind Rune to go to each town. Step outside the town. If the town flashes in the crystal display, one of the apprentices inside the town has the stolen rune. Defeat him and get the rune back. Search the ground for the "Crystal of Peace". You can stop the war between Belaine and Telaine with it. See the King of Telaine when you have returned.


Padal
Try to find Commander Prosa.


North tower
Any of the apprentices can enter this tower. The Warp Tile at the top will bring you to Grime Tower.


Cave of Laosu
This is the secret cave you heard about in Pang. Go South from Padal until mountains. Go west along the mountains to find the invisible entrance.


Polasu
You may find Commander Prosa here. If you keep pressing him, he will eventually promise to give you the Moon Rune if you can bring back the children from the Serpent in the castle of Baran. Don't go to the castle of Baran from here. It will be much better if you go from Tiffana. If you defeat the Serpent and Prosa refuses to give you the rune but instead asks you to find Pegim, go to Zellis and find him, then return and Prosa will give you the Moon Rune.


Pandam
Nothing special


Brush
After you get all 6 Runes, talk to Rarsa and find Brantu. He will let you use the glider to fly to the northwest continent.


Tiffana
Talk to the king in the castle and you will be promised the reward of 5000G if you find the princess.


Baran castle
Use the side door to enter.


Bilthem
You cannot do anything here until you defeat Doros.


Bilthem castle
There is a door on the first floor with stairs behind it. Go through the second floor to reach the stairs, then use them to reach the basement. Find the key under the table and open the jail where the old man is. Talk to the old man (father of Doros) and get the "STAR" from him. With the "STAR", you will be able to defeat Doros.


Vallince
You crash-landed here. Nothing special.


Cave of Kapel
You will lose your magic when you exit this cave.


Bugask
Nothing special.


Guanta
Talk to the Mayor who cursed you. After you get the "Moonlight" from "Metal Pison", he will remove the curse for you. (Cheat: Use the Wind Rune to go back to the main continent. Ask another apprentices to join you. Since that apprentice has not been cursed, he/she can use magic. You will have an easier time in the cave of Bulnsel.)


Cave of Bulnsel
It is Pison again, this time as "Metal Pison". Defeat him and get the Moonlight. (This is a good place to build up your level and get enough money. You will need it later on.)


Gorfun
Defeat the dragon with magic and not physical attack. You will need the "Moonlight" to be able to defeat Gariso; every time he becomes invisible, use it.


Pharano
You will wake up here in this town after you defeat Gariso and get hit by lightning from Lemele (Gorsia). Go south to Pasanda to find out more.


Pasanda
Talk to Belma who has just returned from Ligena.


Ligena
Talk to the elder. You will be informed about what happened. Talk to Ropesu with 7000G, you will be able to fly in his AIRSHIP to Melenam (You can avoid paying the 7000G if you search in each room behind the shelf. When you are aboard the AIRSHIP, talk to the pilot only or else you will be kicked out).


Melenam
Can't do too much until you got the letter from Palsu. Once you got the letter, Tafuro will show you the lab. Dr. Fail will inform you about the invention, Foma. After you talked to everybody in the lab, take the AIRSHIP back to Ligena first, then come back for the fight.


Palsu
Get a letter from the old woman to bring to her son, Tafuro, to Melenam.


Airship
After you defeat Foma and Melenam sinks, you can talk to everyone on the AIRSHIP.


Barluca
This is the place you have heard in either Bugask or Gunta before you fight Gariso in Gorfun. Go NE and find the town of Saro's followers.


Saro's followers
You will hear about the cave in the west and Saro town It is a good place to rest. There is no shop here, so you have to make your way back to the Airship to shop if you need to.


Cave in the west
Follow the trail of Tetujins and you will find Saro. Two guards are there guarding Saro. It may be wise to save your progress after you defeat the first one. Once you find Saro and talk to him, you can go back to the town of Saro's followers and get all seven Runes from them.


Gorfun
East NE from the town of Saro's followers. The floor is a maze. Follow the trail of Tetujins and look for stairs to go up. When you find Gorsia, use the Runes in the following order (in my opinion, there may be a better order):

  1. Wizard: block Gorsia's power for a short period and he will be visible.
  2. Light: deflect his spells and attack him.
  3. Water: reduce Gorsia's dark power by half.
  4. Sky: weaken Gorsia's magic power.
  5. Moon: weaken Gorsia and reduce his attack power by half.
  6. Star: reduce Gorsia's defense power by half.
  7. Wind: reduce Gorsia's agility.
