Quest - The Exterminator

You can purchase and take part in the Exterminator quest after stumbling upon Greede and the oh so tenderly remembered Greede Underbelly. The Exterminator takes place there and utilizes the lever system, to the player's dismay. But fear not! With the appropriate know-how, this quest is quite simple.

The description of the quest will lead you to believe that you'll just be running in and slaying every spider in sight, as you might in the Boot Camp quests. Not so. In fact, if you'd like, you can avoid all the battles but the boss battle all together and really speed things along.

I suggest taking a party of at least three, though of course four is the best. You can easily complete this quest with two people, or even by yourself. It'll just take a mite longer. I'll suggest different tactics based on how many people you have with you, though essentially they're all the same.

Now, upon starting the quest you will be on the second level. The troll-type NPC standing there will clue you into the trouble. Your party needs to pass through three gates to get to the boss Dire Spider at the end and exterminate it. The NPC says that his friends should be around the underbelly to help you open all three gates.

Now, prepare for some repetition. On level 1, open up your map. You'll see, to the south of the elevator, three stars. These stars represent drains that you can fall through. Waiting for you as soon as you fall through each drain is an NPC.

On level three, to the south, passed the door that you normally in the single player game cannot pass through, are scattered a series of levers. The levers are labeled 1-A -> 1-D, 2-A -> 2-D, and 3-A -> 3-D. They control gate 1, gate 2, and gate 3 respectively and will open their appropriate gate when flipped properly, to the left or right.

Now, if you have three or more members in your party, send one member immediately down to the third level. Their job will be to wait to hear the lever combinations from the other members. In the meantime, they can slay some monsters. They need 1 lizard grease and 1 iron rod to complete the job. These will be dropped by the surrounding baddies, the grease from the ice lizards especially.

The remaining party members will be on the first floor with the drains. Open up the left and right drain by releasing the levers located right before the middle drain. Your remaining members will take turns dropping through the drains and speaking to the NPCs they'll find there. The NPC will tell you to switch a particular lever left or right. The party member will then communicate that combination to the member waiting on the third floor.

If you have four members, you can have one wait on the third floor, and the other three members take the left, middle, and right drain and wait there. As soon as Gate 1 has been unlocked, the NPCs will tell you the answers to unlock Gate 2, and so on to Gate 3. No need to run up and down the elevator. And when the member on the third floor reaches Gate 3, everyone will be teleported to the boss fight.

If you have less than four members, one person at least will have to fall through one drain, go back up to the first floor, and fall through another drain. If you only have two members or even if it is just you in your party, you'll have to gather all of the lever combinations first, then ride down to the third floor, flip the levers, ride the elevator back up, fall through the drains again, and so on. This makes things a bit longer.

Now before you think it, the lever combinations change each time you complete the quest.


This quest is tedious, but fairly simple. Good luck! Have patience! This one is all about communication!

Quick points about the quest for those who don't want to read as much.

• First on Level 1 - Right before the middle drain are two levers. Flip them to open all the drains.
• From Level 1 - Fall through each drain (marked with stars) to gather the lever switch answers.
• Take the elevator to Level 3 - To flip the switches as the NPCs have told you.
• Open all three gates to fight the final boss, a dire spider.

What You Didn't Know About New Game +

If you've beaten the game or are about to, I suggest learning about the New Game + opportunity that is about to be open to you. No real spoilers here about the ending, just what you keep and don't keep going into New Game +.

Please! Keep a save before the final battle! After beating the game it will prompt you to save again (so you can create a new game + file). To be safe, make that new save in a separate slot. You might not like what you lose in New Game +.


So, excited about New Game +? Heard lots of rumors. Here's some quick low down on what's going on in the land of plus.

You'll see a star beside the "New Game" option on your title screen to let you know you can start a New Game +.

All of your characters (even those that left the party or you do not start the game with) keep the weapons and items that they were carrying when the game ended. For example, when you first see Yulie in New Game +, she'll be wearing whatever armor you put her in when you beat the game the first time, not her original adorable outfit.

All of your characters will be the same level with the same skill point assignments you left them with when you ended your first game.

Key Items are not retained in New Game +. You must collect them again.

Geonet is not accessible until you receive the Ark of the White Knight again in the story.

Your Georama is not effected.

Binding is not accessible until you reach that part of the story again and complete the objective again.

Opening certain chests will yield new items. (I.E. chests in Greede Underbelly that before contained chromium have been seen to contain "Magic Shoes" or "Paladin Sword" or "Magical Robe"-a level 42+ equipment set)

That's all that I know for certain right now. I'll let you know more (probably just by editing this post) as soon as I get my mitts on the information!

Walkthrough - Greede Underbelly

If you've just entered the dungeon of Greede Underbelly with a newly recruited Ceasar in your party, read on for lever-switching madness.


Major Treasures Found In Greede Underbelly:

• Sword Of Malice - Sword for the White Knight
• Preying Mantis - Powerful Spear

Monsters Found In Greede Underbelly:

• Dire Spider (drops spider silk and spider corpse to bind grappler armor)
• Golem
• Ice Lizard
• Spider Sporg
• Waterspider Sporg
• Wind Elemental (Only attacks if you use magic or attack it first)

The following guide will lead you through the maze that is the Greede Underbelly. Keep referencing your map and viewing it in full screen mode to make the most sense out of this guide, and Greede. I try to reference what you will see in each room and hallway, but the most useful tools in navigating Greede are your cardinal directions North, South, East, and West.

You begin on Level 1 (the first floor).

The first room in Greede Underbelly contains a save point, conveniently enough. In the next area, to your left and right will be treasure chests and spoils (spoils from this point on meaning objects such as searchable crates). Next will be a lever straight ahead of you. Open the left gate using the lever and follow the left path. You will find a Resevoir Gate Control Lever. Use it.  Turn around and go down the path on your right. There will be a chest to the left and a lever to the right.Activate the lever. You'll receive a message "Gate to resevoir area unlocked".

Return to the original lever. Use it to open the gate on the right this time. Follow the door into the next room where you should be greeted by a Golem and his friends. To your left (South on the map) you'll find spoils. To the right (North) you'll find more spoils and more monsters. Go West to a large room with two sets of stairs.

Go up the staircase on the left (South) for a chest and some spoils. Move across the hall, North of the room with the spoils you just reaped, into another large area. There will be a door straight ahead (North) and a lever to the drain control.Open the left drain using the lever and follow the corresponding left pathway. Fall down the drain.

You are now on Level 2.

Move through the door and down the path, moving right (West) to the star, your objective. Use the lever that you find there. Continue south. Follow the path West to the room with the elevator and save point. Call the elevator and return to level 1. (You'll repeat this step quite a few times).

Head East back toward the drains you just fell through. Open the right drain this time. Follow the right path and fall through the drain.

You are now on Level 2. Again.

Follow the path as it winds in a south-westerly direction, heading East as you go, toward your objective, the star on your map. There will be three levers. You need to switch them in this order, from left to right, Lever #1: right, #2 left, #3 right. Continue East to the next star.

At the next star will be a Dire Spider for you and your fellow combatants to take on! Don't be too nervous about the dire spider's size. They're not all too bad. After taking care of the spider, hit the lever to the Demithor Gate Controls. Return to the elevator and save while you're there (despite the horrendous save times it's worth it).

Take the elevator back to Level 1.

From there, follow the path directly south. On your map, in the area you are in you will see three square rooms, left, center, and right, with dark gray squares in the middles. These represent drains. For now, just keep heading straight south toward the middle drain. The path will split into three. To your left will be a door, to your right will be a stairway, and ahead will be a drain you can immediately fall through. To open the left drain you need to hit the left lever (left=west). To open the right drain you must hit the right lever (right=east).

Following the middle drain path from there will lead you to the treasure, the Preying Mantis. A powerful spear with 34 ATK. Hitting the lever to open the west drain and following the path will lead you to a treasure chest containing the Sword of Malice, a new weapon for The White Knight. Hitting the lever to open the eastern drain and falling through that will lead you to 2 dire spiders and your last lever. "Demithor Gate Unlocked".

Hitting levers, dropping down the drains, and heading back to the elevator to go back to level 1 are all simple as long as you use your map wisely. It is your choice whether or not to head to the middle and western drains--the treasure, or to head straight to your mission objective, through the right drain.

I suggest taking your time and falling through the middle drain, getting the preying mantis, going back to the elevator and level one, go through the left drain to get the sword of malice, head back up, then, lastly, head toward the right and last lever.

At this point the remaining two gates on Level 1 and 2 cannot be opened. Don't fret that you can't proceed through them. You're not forgetting anything. The South gate of Level 3 will not budge either. Sorry Charlie.

At this point all that is left to do is to take the elevator to the 3rd floor and follow the extremely straight path North. Enjoy the following cut scene! You earned a break!

Just Starting Out - Battle and Timing

If you're having trouble figuring out why stringing together combos is so hard, you're reading in the right place.

So.. You're progressing along in White Knight Chronicles when suddenly a prompt appears on the screen. The prompt suggests you put together some well timed combos to down your enemies more quickly and efficiently. So suddenly, you're staring at that attack wheel, perplexed, mashing buttons, slowly pressing buttons, and everything in between.

Simply pressing x at the right time is only the start. Well, rather, the middle. If you want to perform multi-hit combos, you first need to set up that combo manually.

Leveling up grants skill points which can be assigned to different battle commands, allowing you to learn spells, buffs, and a variety of attacks with the corresponding weapon. I suggest learning at least 3 attacks with whatever weapon you choose, even if you're a magic user. This allows you (AC permitting) to do a decent amount of physical damage every few turns.

So assuming you have at least three skills to assign to a combo.. Let's begin!

Open up your main menu. Choose combat setup. Select a character from the list. Choose edit commands. Use the L1 and R1 buttons to cycle through the tabbed list of weapon types. By default, sword skills are shown first. Tab over to the very last tab, titled Combos. Choose, Create A Combo. Now tab over to your preferred weapon. You'll see a list of skills. The skill name is shown first, then the AC cost, then attributes.

The first combo you create should have a low overall AC cost, so you can use it frequently. To start, choose a skill that costs 0 AC. Any skill flashing is a skill you can select for the next combo slot. Your combo can have as few as 2 skills and as many as your weapon mastery allows. Choose about 2-3 to start, with a low AC cost. You probably want it to cost 4 AC at the most.

When you're finished, press TRIANGLE on your controller. Name your combo! Select done. Now your new creation is listed as a skill would be in the combo tab. Select your combo. Click Install In Slot. Choose an empty slot on your combat bar and hit X to confirm.

Your combat bar is actually made of four layers which you can cycle through in this menu and during combat with the up and down directional buttons.The fourth section will contain commands like ITEM and TRANSFORM and cannot be changed. Remember, even when Leonard becomes the White Knight, he can use items.

Now, using your combo! That's an entirely different story!

When you have enough AC to perform your combo, select it as you would any command. The character will automatically perform the first attack you chose for your combo. Just as the character swings down and strikes your opponent with the first skill, you'll see the next skill in your combo appear in the attack wheel and the attack wheel will glow gold. This is when you hit X again to perform that next skill. And so on and so forth until you complete the combo.

Each attack has a unique animation, meaning the timing for each segment will be different. It might take a few tries. Button mash X for your first attempt, just so you can watch the speed of each skill and try to learn the timing. Do not rely on button mashing to execute your combo forever! It has been proven that timing your button presses accurately during the combo causes the damage dealt to be much greater.

Be patient and attentive and you'll learn in no time!

Combos are great because they allow you to execute numerous attacks at one time without waiting for your attack wheel to refill. This can cut battle times in half and keep you alive when you're against particularly difficult baddies!

I'll be adding a video/screenshots to this guide to help illustrate as soon as I figure out how! Check back and leave me a comment if you need extra explanation/help.
