Lunar: Silver Star Story Complete Reference

Mechanics and Status Effects

This page establishes the systems the walkthrough relies on repeatedly. It is scoped to the North American PlayStation release and keeps qualified playthrough observations distinct from confirmed route-useful behavior.

Route-useful systems

System	What it means	Why the route cares
Character Inventory	Battle items belong to individual characters, not to one shared battle inventory.	Move the healing and condition-removal items each character may need before a boss fight.
Nall's Storage	Nall carries reserve items and equipment outside each character's personal inventory.	Nall's reserve is not a substitute for pre-battle distribution, and old gear can consume useful storage space.
Boss Scaling	Boss HP increases with Alex's level.	Leveling still improves the party, but a higher Alex level also moves the boss-HP target. Route advice should not promise one fixed HP value without its level context.
Battle Formation	The formation screen controls where party members begin battle.	A back-row formation can buy fragile characters room against enemies that must spend movement reaching them.
Movement Range	A combatant can move only so far before attacking or using an ability.	A selected physical target may be out of reach even when another enemy is accessible.
Enemy Zone	An enemy-zone ability affects enemies grouped near the selected target point.	Recheck the highlighted area before confirming; enemy spacing changes how many targets are caught.
Ally Zone	An ally-zone attack is centered on the acting ally and catches nearby enemies.	Kyle's Power Sweep rewards positioning Kyle among several enemies.
Line Targeting	A line attack hits enemies along a projected path.	Sonic Riser can catch several targets when their positions line up.
Return Visit	Some locations can be revisited after their first story sequence for changed dialogue, treasure, shops, or optional rewards.	The walkthrough calls out useful revisits at the point they become available.
Permanently Missable	Some rewards become unavailable after a story boundary.	Bromides, optional conversations, and departure-related inventory checks belong in the route before the closing boundary.
Save Anywhere	The PlayStation release normally allows saving from the menu rather than only at fixed save points.	Make a separate save before irreversible story movement, optional-reward checks, and difficult bosses.
Dragon Wings Travel	The Dragon Wings provide rapid travel among eligible visited locations.	Availability changes with the story, so route pages should state when a useful return is actually possible.

Nall in battle

Nall may sometimes revive a fallen character during battle. Treat that as a lucky recovery, not as boss strategy: distribute revival and healing resources as though Nall will not intervene. The later route also changes what Nall can do, and each affected walkthrough page covers that boundary where it occurs.

Targeting labels

The command list uses the game's positional targeting rather than pretending every attack has a fixed number of targets.

Label	Meaning
Self	The acting character only.
One ally	One selected party member.
All allies	Every current party member.
Party	A command that affects party navigation rather than a battle target.
One enemy	One selected enemy.
Enemy zone	Enemies within the highlighted area.
All enemies	Every current enemy.
Ally zone	Enemies near the acting ally.
Straight line	Enemies intersecting the projected line.

Status conditions

The status names below are the PlayStation menu terms. The response column is route preparation guidance, not a promise that every listed cure will always be usable by the affected character.

Dragon Healing is strictly party-wide full-HP restoration. It does not also cure status conditions.

Status	Effect	Primary responses
Good	The menu label for a character with no status ailment.	None needed.
Poison	Gradually reduces HP during battle.	Antidote, Purity Song, Cleanse Litany, or Holy Water.
Stoned	Prevents the affected character from acting until cured.	Purity Song, Cleanse Litany, or Holy Water.
Confuse	Removes player control and may cause attacks against allies.	Purity Song, Cleanse Litany, or Holy Water.
Sleep	Prevents the affected combatant from acting until awakened.	Purity Song, Cleanse Litany, or Holy Water.
Mute	Prevents spellcasting.	Purity Song, Cleanse Litany, or Holy Water.
Paralyze	Prevents movement and actions.	Cleansing Water, Purity Song, Cleanse Litany, or Holy Water.
Faint	The incapacitated state at zero HP.	Angel's Tear or Miracle Litany; Nall may sometimes revive a fallen character during battle, but that is not a dependable plan.
