Walkthrough:

If you havent already, sail to the Nest of Pirates and talk to the pirates standing outside the cave.
One of them will mention seeing a mermaid in the area.
If you've already talked to him, Lilon will show up as you land at the Pirates Nest.
She will join you and now you can go get the last mermaid.

Have Viki teleport you to Iluya Island. Search the docks there.
You should find Liloon. She's kinda hard to spot, look down the steps.
Talk to her and she'll join you.

Now teleport back to the Pirates Nest.    Depart and sail to Hermitage Island.
Its just west of the pirates nest. Its a small island almost touching the Pirates Nest.

Once you land, Sigurd, Hervey and Dario will tell you they want to go with you.
Follow the trail up with your pirate friends until you come across Elenor's house.
You will have a scene where everyone gets drugged.

Elenor will help, but she wants you to do something for her to prove your determination.
She sends you to the back of a cave to get her family crest and potion to cure Dario and Co.

Directly behind Elenor's house is a Treasure Chest w/ a skunk rune and 3 Mega Medicine.
Further along, as you enter the cave, you'll have to fight a horned bohemoth.

Level	38	Evade	90
HP	700	Magic	122
Attack	175	Speed	122
Skill	100	Magic Defense	122
Physical Defense	112	Luck	90
This fight is only tough because the hero fights it alone. The easy way to defeat him is using the Level 1 spell, Eternal Ordeal. It will hit him hard enough, but watch your HP closely. You'll lose HP quick this way. After 3 attacks, he should fall.
3000	Potch	Horn	Items
Steamed Bun	Cook	Earth Rune Piece

Following the fight, Head into the cave
In the very back of the cave is a workbench.
Search the front of it to find what you came for.
Search the side of it to find a treasure map.

Head back to Elenor. She tells you she will join.

On your way back to the boat, search her front yard.
Search the little well for an earth rune.
Search the shed for a Treasure chest (treasure map).
There's also another treasure map in the middle of the yard.
This one has the Copper Hammer. Head back to the ship.

Once you board (you cant teleport back),
Lino will be seen heading into Elenor's house.

To continue the story, go to the War Room on the 2nd deck.
Here Elenor will suggest a duel between the hero and the king.
This is to determine the true leader of the army.

You can skip this duel by choosing "Wait."
To start the duel, choose "Let the best man win."

He Says...	He's Going to...	You should...
Come on! Lets see what you've got.	guard	attack
I think i'll save my energy a little.	guard	attack
Its my turn next.	attack	special attack
All right, Lets get right down to it.	attack	special attack
Guess I'll start getting serious now...	special attack	guard
Hehe.... Better be prepared for the next move...	special attack	guard

Whichever choice you choose, Lino abdicates the throne.
He gives his golden seal to you.

The next item of business is naming your army and ship.
During this walkthrough, I went with the suggested names:
The ship is the Dauntless. The army is the Rush.
(Normally I call them the Apocalypse and the Armageddon.)

Launch your ship, and you are free to go do some recruiting.

New Enemies:

Gau

------------------------------
------------------------------

Walkthrough:

Since were already on Hermitage Island (by it atleast), lets start there.

Walk along Hermitage Island until you get into a random battle with Gau.
It will be Gau and 6 demon wolves. Make sure you have a party ready for that.
Defeat him and you have the option for him to join.

Gau				Demon Wolf x6
Level	50	Evade	80	Level	34	Evade	55
HP	2100	Magic	80	HP	216	Magic	55
Attack	300	Speed	130	Attack	135	Speed	55
Skill	80	Magic Defense	60	Skill	55	Magic Defense	55
Physical Defense	190	Luck	80	Physical Defense	105	Luck	55
Dont let this fight get out of hand. Use group magic (like fire) to get rid of all those wolves first thing. Gau can soak up some damage so dont hesitate to hit him with your toughest spells and physical attacks. Also watch your HP, as Gau can cause some damage, and if you still have 6 wolves snapping at you, that dont help. Ultimately all this battle takes is a prepared party to fight it.

While doing all that walking, make your way behind Elenors house.
One screen past Elenors back yard, you will find Aldo standing by a rock.
The poor man has been stranded on the island, and needs a way off.
Recruit him.

Once you've recruited Gau and Aldo, teleport back to the ship.

Now have Viki teleport you to the Nest of Pirates.
Go talk to Katarina and you can recruit her now.

Teleport back to the ship and go to the heros stateroom.
When you get there, there will be a lot of people in there.
Two of them are new people, the pirates Jango and Brec.
They join your army without asking.
While you're there, rest up for the next fight.

Have Viki teleport you to Mordo Island, if she can.
If she cant, you didn't stop there earlier on and will need to sail there.

Go into the Hot Spring there and the Lo siblings will take care of you.
They will also charge you 10,000 Potch and then start a fight.

Lo Seng				Lo Hak
Level	42	Evade	70	Level	41	Evade	70
HP	1300	Magic	96	HP	1100	Magic	96
Attack	180	Speed	90	Attack	170	Speed	80
Skill	96	Magic Defense	96	Skill	96	Magic Defense	96
Physical Defense	150	Luck	80	Physical Defense	130	Luck	80
You shouldn't have too much trouble with this trio. They have level one spells that dont do much damage. If you're around level 40 or so, this should be pretty easy. Just stick to basic weapons and whatever rune magic you have equiped. Nothing special with this fight.

Defeat them and they will decide they want to go with you.
They join and mention somebody left behind.

Sail straight back into Mordo island to pick up Igor.
He's standing by the Hot Spring.

For now there's only one more recruitment.
For it, you'll need to have Cheipoo in your party.

Head to Nay Island.
Once you land there, Cheipoo will express a desire to go to the trading post.
Head there, its on the nay-kabold side.
Once you've finished any business you might have in the settlement, start walking back to the ship.

Along the way, you will run into Champo and Nalkul who will steal the Golden Seal.
Follow them back to the Nay-Kabold settlement and find them next to an unexplored building.
Once they find out who you are (and especially Chiepoo), they apologise and ask to join.
The only problem is that when you showed up, Champo dropped the seal into the building.

Let Champo chase the mice to get the Golden Seal back and they will join.

Middleport (revisited)

Items:

None

(* = one of a kind)
------------------------------

New Enemies:

Moving Isle (boss)
------------------------------
------------------------------

Walkthrough:

To continue the storyline here, you need to enter the War Room.
Elenor will tell you that she wishes to head to Middleport to gain its support.
The fastest way there is to teleport to the Deserted Island and sail into Middleport form there.

There is a boss fight instead of a naval battle when you reach Middleport, so be prepared.
Upon reaching Middleport, your ship will be attacked by a large sea creature.

Level	43	Evade	95

Attack	120	Speed	80
Skill	95	Magic Defense	130
Physical Defense	100	Luck	95
I didn't put the Tentacles on here for a reason. It really doesn't matter if you kill them. Just concentrate on the moving Isle until its dead. You cant use normal weapons unless their ranged. Mostly you'll have to use rune magic, I suggest lightning on the Moving Isle until it sinks.
8800	Potch	Silk	Items

Sigurd and Desmond will suggest that they go along.   Desmond tags along regardless, and its a good idea to let Sigurd go as well.

Upon landing in Middleport, you will quickly learn that you have made the mistake of killing the lords pet.
That would be the Moving Isle.    Reinbach III approaches and lets you know that you have done a service by destroying the beast.
He for that reason, allows you to have a formal audience with his father the lord of Middleport.

You havent been here lately so check out the stores to see what upgrades you can find.
The first thing you're gonna wanna do, though is recruit 3 Stars of Destiny:   Keen, Deborah and Oskar.

Talk to Keen (with Sigurd in your party).   He's standing just next to the trading post in the corner.
After that, return to your ship and take Sigurd out of your party.   Return to Keen.
Talk to him again without Keen in your party, and he'll join if you give him 10,000 Potch.
You can talk him down to 9999 Potch if that'll make you feel better about it.

Next go talk to Deborah. She's sitting in her usual spot in the Middleport Inn.
She will comment on your fortune. If you act interested, she will join.
Oskar will automatically join the SoD the next time you go to the world map (stowaway).

When you're done with that and any shopping, head north to the Reinbach Manor.
Reinbach II will divulge that he is dealing with the Cray Trading Co., which will infuriate his son.
He will however, allow you free access to Middleport, but nothing more.

Head back out to your ship.
When you talk to Rakgi, Reinbach and Micky will approach and ask you if they can join you.
There is a catch, though. Reinbach wants you to prove your friendship first.

To do this you need to have Viki teleport you to Nay Island.
Go to the Inn and find a man named Gareth.   Mention Reinbach and he will give you the item Reinbach wants.
Before you leave, go into the room next door to Gareth and there should be a man.
Talk to him and he'll mention a destructive woman in Middleport. (if you dont do this, you'll have to come back)

Now, head back to the Middleport docks and give the Crest to Reinbach III.
Him and Micky will now join you.

If you talked to the man at the Nay Inn, head to the Middleport Inn and find Helga outside argueing with the innkeeper.
Talk to her and eventually Charlemagne will come and offer to pay her damages.   She agrees to join in return.

Talk to Charlemagne and he says he'll join but he needs more time.
To get him to join, teleport to the ship and SAIL back into Middleport. Go talk to Charlemagne.
Do this three times and he will eventually join you.

During one of your trips to the ship, put Reinbach in your party.
While your making a trip to talk to Charlemagne, head north towards the Reinbach Manor and find Etienne.
If Reinbach is in your party, he will join.

Once you have Helga, Charlemagne, and Etienne go back to Nay Island and recruit Gareth.
You will need Reinbach in your party for this recruitment as well.

That ends Chapter Eight
