Talk:Rance IV:Walkthrough

Note: Some character and/or item names may be different from the English translation.

General
When you Camp to Level up save before. If Mikan ask if she can practise on you (the Level up) I got near all time 0 exp after it only one time I get 5xexp to my exp (or say all times no).

I don´t know it exact if you got 100.000 exp or 1.000 kills with Rance the Level Gods give you a present (you can choose between 3 presents).

I don´t know if you need the items from the church. I bought 2 items and Rance tell only it is crap and I found nothing I can do with it.

Go down through the church (make sure you have at least 1 Seirogan)

{

Can go to the Hanny King (first room down the South passage) and leave Julia there for training)

(you can press the nuclear missle launch button now, doesn't have any affect)

Keep going up

Second floor has trap holes (marked as .): DX X.X. XXX. XX.X XU

On floor 6

Door to downstairs room is lock, surrounding rooms all have a button next to a circular thing on the floor, the button rotates it. Rotate them all so the red dots are all pointing to the center

Go up to the top room, listen/don't listen doesn't matter, afterwards, call Ferris and Willis and talk again

[Can come back with Athena 2 after calling her at night, and then again, go back later and talk to Tama]

Go to west tower and head up to the fifth floor

Take the SE stairs up to floor 7, SE room has Mirror fragment B3, continue on the path, last room has heating pad - can now return and continue in Air defense core

Continue down two floors and go to the end of the passage (second chance for the three girls from chapter 2) Need to find cold medicine

Have Merim in your party and go to the teleporter area, and enter the main tower

You get a message from Alice (Chapter 4 or 5?) that Merim have do die do get something. Let Merim 10 times die and Merim get the Angel Mirror.

Teleporter goes to town

{

Now is probably a good time to go get the Black Sword (near the control room) by using 2 Golden Swords and the Invincible Sword

}

Upstairs, go to middle room and meet Shizuka, can't proceed for now but she'll give you the cold medicine for the dragon

Go through West Corridor to meet Ralga again - strong spray in battle

Return to the bottom of the air defense core for S key

CHAPTER 5
Some good new items have appeared in Yocchan's bargain bin, check them out

{ optional

After buying the Iron Hanny key, go to the teleporter area, and go all the way down to the South door in the lower screen

Go to the West room, talk to the kid and accept the challenge, go to the east room

Need to assault all of them in one battle - can be fairly difficult since Rance's light attack does 5 damage, and you need to get them down to 2 HP (after getting Shizuka may be a good time to do this - use Kanami as a shield since she can dodge most of the attacks, and Shizuka's weapon may help being weak and light-element)

When succesful, go back to the West room and get PTTP medicine (usable on Sill at night)

}
