Trials of Mana

Three Dungeon Run

This mod will allow you to seamlessly complete all mid-game dungeons, and final dungeons in one playthrough.

It will also open up Laurent. To explore the Citadel I included the "Pass Guard" pak file from my other mod "Open Sesame".

v1.4 Update:

- Fixed 1 Minor Issue:

  - All: It's that damned NPC standing in front of the door in Ferolia, again. This time he's gone for good. 

v1.3 Update:

- Fixed 1 Minor Issue:

  - Updated the SubLevelByProgress to the newer version from the mod included with Xchange Party (to keep things consistent).

    The changes are really only noticeable if you've been using the tools Xchange Party and TimeWarp.
    There is one exception: a bugfix for Gusthall and Fiery Gorge which has no enemies during the Rescue Faerie mission.

- Also: Six Trial Run is coming soon, allowing you to optionally complete all 6 character trials, even after defeating Anise.

v1.2 Update:

- Fixed 1 Minor Issue:

  - All: Removed the annoying NPC standing in front of the entrance door in Ferolia.

v1.1 Update:

- Fixed 1 Minor Issue:

  - Hawkeye/Riesz: After Belladonna's tower collapses in Dark Castle you should reappear on the bridge - not at the save point.

Details:

If you have already rescued Faerie in your playthrough, the mid-game dungeons and Laurent will open up after you
complete at least one final dungeon. If you've already done the final dungeon, well... time for a new game plus.

There are three pak files, which one you use depends on your main character.

Duran/Angela:

Use this if your main character is Duran or Angela.

Once you complete the objective of rescuing Faerie in Altena, your objective will be updated to head to Ferolia.
Once you've rescued Faerie in Ferolia, your objective will be updated to head to Nevarl. Remember you need to hit
the switch upstairs to open the door. There won't be any text since there isn't any for Duran or Angela,
just hit X as if there was.

So the path is:

Altena Castle -> Ferolia -> Nevarl -> Defeat the Benevodons

Once you've completed Dragonsmaw, and the cutscenes in Altena Castle are complete, your objective will be updated
to head to the Jungle of Visions. Once you work your way through, you'll end up in Mirage Palace. Once you clear
Mirage Palace, your objective will be updated to head to Night Cavern. Work your way through Night Cavern, and you'll
end up in Dark Castle. Once you complete Dark Castle, you'll be given the objective to Save the Goddess of Mana.

The path is:

Crystal Desert/Dragonsmaw -> Jungle of Visions/Mirage Palace -> Night Cavern/Dark Castle -> Save the Goddess of Mana

Kevin/Charlotte:

Use this if your main character is Kevin or Charlotte.

Once you complete the objective of rescuing Faerie in Ferolia, your objective will be updated to head to Altena.
Once you've rescued Faerie in Altena, your objective will be updated to head to Nevarl. Remember you need to hit
the switch upstairs to open the door. There won't be any text since there isn't any for Kevin or Charlotte,
just hit X as if there was.

So the path is:

Ferolia -> Altena Castle -> Nevarl -> Defeat the Benevodons

Once you've completed Mirage Palace, and the cutscenes are complete, your objective will be updated
to Search for the Darkstone (Crystal Desert). Once you work your way through, you'll end up in Dragonsmaw.
Once you clear Dragonsmaw, and have seen the cutscenes in Altena Castle, your objective will be updated
to Search for the Darkstone (Night Cavern). Work your way through Night Cavern, and you'll end up in Dark Castle.
Once you complete Dark Castle, you'll be given the objective to Save the Goddess of Mana.

The path is:

Jungle of Visions/Mirage Palace -> Crystal Desert/Dragonsmaw -> Night Cavern/Dark Castle -> Save the Goddess of Mana

Hawkeye/Reisz:

Use this if your main character is Hawkeye or Reisz.

Once you complete the objective of rescuing Faerie in Nevarl, your objective will be updated to head to Altena.
Once you've rescued Faerie in Altena, your objective will be updated to head to Ferolia. 

So the path is:

Nevarl -> Altena Castle -> Ferolia -> Defeat the Benevodons

Once you've completed Dark Castle, and the cutscenes are complete, your objective will be updated
to Search for the Darkstone (Crystal Desert). Once you work your way through, you'll end up in Dragonsmaw.
Once you clear Dragonsmaw, and have seen the cutscenes in Altena Castle, your objective will be updated
to head to the Jungle of Visons. Once you work your way through, you'll end up in Mirage Palace. Once you clear
Mirage Palace, you'll be given the objective to Save the Goddess of Mana.

The path is:

Jungle of Visions/Mirage Palace -> Crystal Desert/Dragonsmaw -> Night Cavern/Dark Castle -> Save the Goddess of Mana

Notes:

- You must complete all three rescue faerie missions to continue with the story. You can enter some of the new dungeons,
  but you cannot complete them without finishing the rescue missions first.

- You must complete all three final dungeons to get to the destroyed Mana Sanctuary and fight the final boss.

- The shops in Pedda that update their equipment after you defeat Zable Fahr will reset once you beat one of the final
  dungeons. They'll update again once you defeat Zable Fahr in the next final dungeon. They'll stay permanently updated
  once all final dungeons are complete.

- If you play as Duran/Angela/Hawkeye/Reisz:

- the cutscene in the Mirage Temple of Light (Mirage Palace) is cut, since it caused freezing.

- If you play as Duran/Angela/Kevin/Charlotte:

- the first cutscene where you encounter Malocchio in Night Cavern was replaced with the intro to Night Cavern, 
since it caused freezing.

- the cutscene where the tower collapses in Dark Castle was replaced with the intro to Dark Castle, since it
also caused freezing.

- All other cutscenes with wrong characters will have your main character play the part of who they should be,
  or they'll just be silent and say nothing
