GRANDIA Walkthrough

What is the Dom Ruins ?

The Dom Ruins are located south-east of New Parm.

Feena had come to the proximity of this place earlier, but she could not enter the ruins because the Garlyle Force was investigating at that time. So she has no idea what lies ahead.

* Technically, "Road to Dom Ruins" and "Dom Ruins (Vestibule)" are part of "Dom Ruins", but I had divided "Dom Ruins" into two pages: "the outside"and "the inside" (this page).

Dom Ruins Walkthrough

The Dom Ruins is made up of 4 sections: starting from "Dom Ruins (1)" in the west, then "Dom Ruins (Cliff)", followed by "Dom Ruins (2)" in the east, then "Dom Ruins (Room of Illusion)" at the very end.

Tips

• Rooms B/D/H are elevators. The floor moves up/down by flicking a switch inside.
• There are several rooms with a switch which opens trap door. You can use it to get rid of enemies that are closing in on you.
• There are secret doors in the ruins.
• Do not forget to pick up a Mana Egg.
• You can pick up treasures #8 to #10 on your way out of the ruins.

Step-by-step Guide

1. Go to "Cliff" and use the vine (A).
2. Use a switch (B) to lower the floor then go south-west.
3. When you try to cross the bridge (C), it collapses and you will land on the ledge below.
4. Use a switch (D) to raise the floor then go south-west.
5. Go to "Cliff" and step on a switch (E). This will cause a ledge from the other side of the cliff to move out.
6. Go back to the elevator (D) and lower the floor and go east.
7. Go to "Cliff" and step on a switch (F). The ledge you are standing on will move out and forming a bridge across the cliff.
8. Go to "Cliff" and use the vine (G).
9. Use a switch (B) to lower the floor then go east.
10. Fight the boss "Ganymede" in the room I.
11. Speak to Liete in the Room of Illusion.
12. Leave the Dom Ruins.

Secret doors:
There are Eye symbols everywhere inside the ruins. Most of them are "open" while some are "closed".
You will find a secret door where there are "closed" eye symbols.

How to get a Shell Armor:
Shell Armor (treasure 7) can be obtained by activating a switch in the middle of the room with two set of fence. The fences will open and Dom Orcs comes out before claimng the treasure.

A switch by stairs:
In "Dom Ruins (2)", there is a long corridor with stains and switch along the way (opposite to the secret room containing treasures 9 and 10). The stairs becomes a steep slope when you turn the switch. Do not activate the switch before you get the treasures.

After the boss battle

After defeating Ganymede and talking to Liete, you will have to make your way out of the Dom Ruins.
Here is how:

1. Go south from an elevator H.
2. Cross the bridge (F).
3. Go north from a room D.
4. Turn north at the Save Point.
5. Follow passage out of the ruins.

On your way home, in the "Road to the Dom Ruins", you will find a wounded boy.
Take him back to the Feena's House.

Boss Battle

Ganymede

Ganymede is a giant turtle-like monster.
It consists of "Head" and "Shell" but shares HP of 1500 but attack independently of each other.

Ganymede can suck you in to draws everyone come closer then try "Beat Attack/Rush Attack" on you.
Use Evasion to run away from the boss when you get sucked in.

Ganymede only does physical attack, so "Diggin" several times to boost your defense level is a good strategy.
