Melanat walkthrough (1995)

Detailed public guide

Melanat location index. Open a named location for its local landmarks and item notes.

Land, then go inland

Aleph comes ashore on the west coast of Melanat. The village is the first safe talk, not a hub you can fast-travel from. This game has no automap in the sources I used, so the coast, the mine mouth, and the coliseum are the landmarks worth writing down yourself. The region sketch is only those names, not a copied poster.

The big mine is the long middle: poison, darkness, an earth spirit, and a sprite cave show up in the place notes. Do not treat that list as a room order. It is the set of hazards the guides agree are inside the mine. Pirate's Key is a sourced item. The Moon Gate is the other. I looked for "Orlan Key" and "Dwarves Key" as separate Melanat objects and did not find them. Orladin's Key belongs to the next game's elf ruin. I am leaving those two search phrases as unconfirmed rather than inventing locks.

Coliseum, Necron, Guyra

Past the mine, the notes move to a coliseum and the figure Necron, then into Guyra's dimension. Guyra is the black dragon and the last boss. The Moonlight Sword on this disc is not a chest you open on the way. The weapon notes say it sits behind Guyra and is not part of a normal clear. Dark Slayer is the other sword people chase, listed at a total attack of 540, far above the 1994 Moonlight Sword's 87. That gap is why damage numbers from a 1994 guide will get you killed here if you trust them.

HowLongToBeat's displayed estimate for the US disc is 16.5 hours main from 28 reports. Famitsu's 35/40 is a review score, not a difficulty slider. When Guyra falls, Japanese order says go to Verdite in the 1996 walkthrough. The box-name warning lives on the 1995 game page.
