Lunar: Silver Star Story Complete Walkthrough

Cave of Trial and Vane

Cave of Trial

Head right and down until you get to the springs (a blue circle to the left of a star symbol.) Technically you can head further left and fight some random encounters, but you’ll get there eventually as part of the plot, so it’s not really worth it as far as I can tell. Talk to the guy next to the spring, then leave the screen and head left to . Go inside and head to the far end. After the cut scene, talk to everyone here, then head outside and talk to the priestess there to replenish your HP and MP. Head back to the springs with your .

After Nash leaves, step into the middle of the star to enter the .

Use your magic sparingly. You’ll have a boss battle that you’ll want Alex fully charged for. Pay attention to how much Luna can heal for and don’t waste her magic healing less than that amount. If you run across a small silver enemy called an , you can get a massive amount of XP and Silver if you can take it out before it runs away from battle. Don’t forget that you’re going to need Alex fully charged for the final battle, though.

The cave entrance is actually a little hard to see - head straight up. Continue up and right, fighting monsters. Go through the door there, and on the next screen head down and right. The path up leads to a chest with 250 Silver (Got it:). Go back down and continue along the path right and up. The guy there can heal you, but hopefully you don’t need that yet! If you do, you might want to consider reloading and doing a bit of leveling up! Go up and through the door.

On the next screen you can choose to go either left or right - both lead to the same place, though the path at the right might be harder to see. Fight the monsters and head through the door.

On the next screen, there’s a locked chest on the right-hand path. This is the red treasure chest; it contains , but you cannot open it yet. Skip it and head down and to the right. There’s a chest with 250 Silver (Got it:) at the end of the path. Grab that then head through the door. There are a variety of folks you can talk to on this level, but the exit is pretty close - head up and right. The guy there will offer to heal you, but remember you only get that once, so I generally opt to wait. Go through the door to get to the next level.

There are a few paths you can take on this next screen, but taking the upper path can help you avoid random encounters. There’s another chest with 250 Silver (Got it:) in the upper left corner of this floor. From there, head down and skip the left-hand path for now. Going down and left will net you the final chest with 250 Silver (Got it:). Go back up, make sure you’re ready, then head left to battle…

Truffle Troubler

Boss Fight: Truffle Troubler

HP / Scaling	Approximately 1,920 HP at Level 18; the exact value and scaling formula remain unknown.
Weak / Absorbs	is effective; no confirmed elemental weakness or absorb.
Reward	380 EXP and 0 Silver.
Drops	None.
Strategy	Use and on Alex, then use while Luna heals. heavily damages and may Paralyze one character; damages both. removes the paralysis, but Luna cannot also heal that turn, so curing Alex when his HP is low may leave him vulnerable to the next attack.

This enemy can paralyze you, but will cure it. The catch is that Luna can’t heal Alex on the same turn, and the enemy will likely kill him if his HP isn’t very high. Curing him is safest toward the start of the battle; later on, keeping him alive and waiting for the condition to wear off may be the better choice. Start off with Alex casting and Luna casting on Alex. Alex should then use until he’s out of MP, then switch to regular attacks. Luna should be healing and curing conditions with when Alex can survive the missed healing turn.

If you have any magic left, heal up, save, then head left and up. There’s a (Got it:) here that you really want! Get that, then go through the door. Head left, up, and back to the right to reach the exit.

Optional: Level Up

You have a chance to level up here with just Alex and Luna, but if you wait a few minutes you can also have Nash. If you level all three up to Level 23, Nash will get the powerful all-enemies magic, which can be super helpful in upcoming battles. If you want to level up as just Alex and Luna…

You’ll appear in the lower-left exit of a building. Head out the lower-right exit and go up and right around some buildings, then up and left to find stairs leading down to the left. There’s a statue at the top of the screen where you can replenish your HP and MP. If you backtrack to the place where you found the , there’s an enemy you can fight which has a massive XP/Silver reward. If neither of the two enemies flee, you can earn 288 XP and 2,135 Silver with a single attack from Alex. It’s pretty quick to get both Alex and Luna up to Level 20 here, if you’re patient. If one of them flees, you will still get 159 XP and 1,235 Silver for each battle won. If you’re really lucky while fighting these guys, you can obtain a , which increases Defense by 2 and Agility by 10!

The City of Vane

When you’re ready to move on, wander around and talk to everyone. Buy any weapons, armor, and items you’d like, and don’t forget to read all the books in the library. There totally aren’t any obvious foreshadowing notes in there. Nope, definitely not. No way.

When you’re ready to move on, enter the building at the top of the screen. When your party breaks up, explore all the places from the far right to the far left - in that order. Eventually you’ll be given a new quest. Talk to the guy next to Ghaleon’s desk to get more information, then head out of the building. If you want to level up Alex, Luna, and Nash, use the instructions in the section above. When you’re ready to move on, step on the star transporter thing at the bottom of the screen.
