Brigandine Quests FAQ Version 0.90
(and other little stuff)
Updated: 12/23/98
Collected and written up by Anthony Nguyen, aka Luxion
Brigandine was released in the states in 1998 by Atlus. What other credits do I
need?
This is my first FAQ that I've written up for distribution. I'm collecting
information for a few other games: Front Mission 2 and SD Gundam G Generation.
Hopefully those will be distributed someday, but they are far too imcomplete.
12/23/98: I've updated the FAQ with other people's assistance (2 others). I've
almost completed the game with Leonia. When I feel I've written up all BASIC
quests, I'll update this FAQ to ver 1.0. I've also taken out anything I've said
about Prima's guide. I feel like it is advertising and do not want to get into
any trouble.
12/18/98: Well, I see that there are more FAQs for Brigandine. Guess I don't
have to work in-depth on a monster stat chart if that's coming along. I guess
I'll stick with quests. Right now, I'm playing as Leonia on Hard difficulty
(more challenge, kinda). I'll continue to keep track of "chats" in battles as
well, for whatever reason :)
Review: Brigandine is a strategic/tactical game (my type of game). It requires
management of troops (1 leader and up to 6 monsters), positioning of those troops
on a large map with 40 castles. Battles take place at individual castles and is
fought on a hexagon map. Attacks by individual units is shown in a different
screen, similar to the Shining Force series (one of my favorites), except
Brigandine uses 3-D models. You have a 50 year time limit, 12 months each year,
which means you have 600 turns to complete the game by wiping out all opposition.
There are 6 countries in this game, and only 5 which are playable. Each has their
own reasons for fighting and their own selection of Knights, each with interesting
stories.

Rune Knight's Name (Starting affiliation):
Quest description
Lucia (Iscalio):
Quest 1:
She visits an injured boy who cannot walk because he was struck by an arrow.
Quest 2:
She visits the boy again, but this time finds the boy walking (kind of).
She confesses that it was she who had fired that arrow, but the boy knew it
all along and thanks her because if it wasn't for "that incident", the two
would have never been friends.
Most all of Lucia's attributes go up as a result of this. Her profile updates.
Loufal (New Almekia):
When Loufal reaches level 10 and changes to a Calvalier class, on his quest,
he will return to his home and talk to his mother. She will give him his
father's sword, the "Mithril Sword".
(Well, that's the sword she gave me...)
Miguel (Iscalio):
Miguel will return to his home and find a letter addressed to him, left by
his brother Castor. It basically talks about the family situation, and how all
three children are split up, but want to be a family again. No game gains,
just story development.

Having announced staying sober, he gets lost in a forest and finds a fountain
of liquor. Though tempted, he is able to stay sober. It was a test set up by

Report of a human battle close to the hidden elven village reminds Hyude of
