Cherubae's Terranigma Info Page - Walkthru, Chapter 4

When you land on the other side of the "portal", return back to Crysta. The villagers are glad to see you when you talk to them, but then a voice is heard commenting that if you had never found out the truth, you would of been happy. The villagers then begin to turn into spirits and attack you.

Elder, or Dark Gaia? Return back to the Elder's house. Walk back to his room and speak with him. The Elder says that you've learned more then you should have. He then says he wants to show you something. Follow him back outside the house and talk to him again. Elder says that all the humans here are replicas made by the same material. When the human replica's use up their energy, they convert back to their original form, which just happens to be the Crystal Blue that floats through the sky! He also explains that the world has two sides; the Light Side that creates life and the Dark Side that destroys what isn't necessary. The Dark Side has now willed that Ark is no longer necessary! The two of you then turn into spirits and teleport to the Gaia Stone.

Ark rematerializes on a long endless path. Spirits are floating and disappearing around him. A voice is heard saying that this is the Gaia Stone, which is located in the center of the underworld's sun. The voice explains that the Light is creation and Dark is destruction and the two will soon become one.

Suddenly Dark Gaia appears before you. He has several different attacks he uses.

Sonic Boom: Easy to avoid if you walk against the side of the platform.
Gaia's Rage: Explosions follow you around. Just walk in the opposite direction.
MagiRocks: Throws MagiRocks around on the ground, then they'll explode after another attack goes off.
Light Orb: A giant ball of light comes charging right at you.

The most important attack will be the Light Orb. This is the only thing that will hurt Dark Gaia at first. You must stand in front of him and then hit back the orb that he shoots at you. The orb will split into two and go off in different directions. It's best to stand at one of the side points of the star on the ground in order to hit the orb back so it damages Dark Gaia.

Now that you've hit him with one of his own Light Orbs he changes his attack. He tucks in his head and arms into his body and then dislodges himself from his legs. He'll float around the room trying to attack you. When he stops and he is close to the platform, you can hit him. He'll return back to his legs and start his attacks again. Just keep on hitting the orb back at him until he's destroyed.

Now that Dark Gaia is destroyed, all is well right? No way! Another Dark Gaia appears, and he's even stronger then the first one. Dark Gaia 2 only has three main attacks.

Sparks: Dark Gaia will drop sparks down in various formations, usually in groups of 4 or groups of 2. The sparks will just drop to the bottom or can also cross across the platform. The red sparks are fire damage, the yellow ones electric damage, and the white ones ice damage.
Lasers: He will shoot lasers from the opening in his middle, often the same time as he is dropping sparks.
Lightning: The more lethal attack. His lightning attack will cut your hit points in half every time you're hit.

To defeat Dark Gaia, you need to know how to survive his lightning attacks. You need to use your Blocking move. When Dark Gaia throws his lightning, continually press your Right button and don't let it go until he's done with his lightning attack. Not the right directional key, but the Right button that is positioned on top of the controller. The Block move shields you from the lighting attack and instead of taking half of your hit points in damage, you'll only receive 1 to 10 damage.

Ark's block Dark Gaia will also fly around over your head where you cant reach him. You have to hit his body in order to damage him. When he gets close enough hit him with your HeroPike to eventually destroy him.

After Dark Gaia is destroyed you're left alone on the platform. A voice is heard that sounds very familiar. In fact, it's the same voice Ark heard when he was placing the StarStones at the South Pole. The voice is glad that you have resealed Dark Gaia's power. Ark asks who he is, and he explains that he's the Ark of the Light Side! Dark Gaia had created a copy of him and of his home town of Storkolm when Dark Gaia was originally sealed away. The copy that was created was Ark and Crysta! Ark of the Light Side says that your work is done and teleports you back to Crysta.

Of course with the destruction of Dark Gaia, there is no one left in Crysta. Ark becomes saddened because everyone is gone, and remembers how Princess Elle also lost her entire village. Yomi pops out of his box and inquires as to why he is so sad. Ark wonders what he has been fighting for the whole time. He followed the Elder's orders to resurrect the world but believes that he also brought bad luck to the planet.

Yomi the floating blob Yomi is surprised to hear that Ark has such a sense of duty even though he fulfilled it by resurrecting the world. The humans would consider his actions god-like, and where there are living beings bad things are expected to happen. Yomi says that there are just as many good things that happen as well.

Ark finally asks what Yomi what he actually is. Yomi explains that all living beings evolved out of one single creature and that all living beings looked like him at one point in time. Yomi finds humor in the idea that one day humans may evolve back into what he looks like. Then he says he has to return back to sleep until the next time he's needed.

Yomi disappears. Four spirits appear and surround Ark. Light Gaia speaks and explains it's the soul of the surface world. Now that Dark Gaia has been destroyed, Crysta and the rest of the underworld will soon disappear and the surface world will return to normal. Ark is the hero that appears when the world is in danger and has both Light Gaia and Dark Gaia blood flowing through him. Soon Ark too will also disappear. Light Gaia says spend your last happy day in Crysta.

Ark is then transported back into Elle's room at the weaver's house, but Elle's alive again! She says you were standing there zoned out for a second. The rest of the inhabitants are all so very happy. The shops have never heard of MagiRocks and Ark's friends have never heard of an Elder. They say the blue door in the Elder's house has always been a broom closet.

The end When Ark is finished, go to his bedroom and crawl into bed. Ark will fall asleep and dream of Elle. She explains that she tried to destroy Ark when he was a baby because the Elder's word was final. She finally realized that everyone are individuals and need to live naturally. Elle says that Crysta may be gone, but she will meet Ark again. She then says goodbye and fades away. Ark then starts to dream his last dream; he's a bird and fly's all over the world, watching it get older.....

The End
