About this walkthrough

This document is a strategy map of the game Guardian

Heroes for Sega Saturn. The game has plenty of levels,
and there many several endings, and it could be fun to
know where you will be brought when you chose various
alternatives when people ask you a question, ask you for
advice etc. This strategy map should cover all stages in
the game. Please note that my English is far from perfect
(I´m from Sweden), but I have tried my best. )

You may spread and copy this document in any way you like,
and you may upload it anywhere on the Internet, as long as
you don´t make any changes to it, and as long as you don´t
sell it for own profit.

If you play through all possible ways on level normal, you

will get access to all hidden characters in the Versus
mode (you will not get access if you play on level easy).

--------------------
Stage 01 - Awakening
--------------------

No matter which character you select in the beginning,

you start the game on this stage. The first scene takes
place in an inn, where the Guardian Heroes are talking
about the sword. They are just about to eat, when Serena
comes rushing through the door, and blue soldiers attacks
the house. Everyone, except for your player, and Serena
escapes. Here you can either exit to the right immediately,
or fight the soldiers to get extra experience points. Next
part of this stage takes place outside in a town. The
guardian heroes are fighting some other blue soldiers and
exit eventually to the right.

In the third part, they meet prince Valgar for the first
time. After some talking about the sword, a giant red robot
attacks. Its HP is about 10000, but after about 500 HP
damage, the golden undead warrior raises from his grave,
and takes the sword from Han. Stage one ends here.

--------------------------
Stage 02 - Prelude to Hope
--------------------------

This stage is a very short one. After some talking, the team
meets Zuru and a few soldiers. After beating these, a couple
of skeleton raises from their graves, and after this, your
player, and the golden undead warrior gets trapped between
bars, with soldiers and a giant blue Golem. After defeating
the Golem, the barriers vanishes, and the hero killes the
witches. When they are defeated, they meet Valgar again, and
then the team heroes have a little talk about the sword and
the kingdom. After this, the team has three alternatives

You may go to town without fear.

Go to a nearby small village
Go to the forest and rest

The first alternative leads to Stage 4. The second alternative

leads to Stage 5. The third alternative leads to Stage 3.

--------------------------------
Stage 03 - Monster in the forest
--------------------------------

In the forest, you are getting attacked by wolves, bees and

brown goblins. You will also run across some green
meat-eating plants, but they are of no greater danger. There
will also be a green machine lying on the ground, which you
need to destroy. Don´t stand too close to it, when it is
about the explode, then you will get damaged.

In the next scene, you will fight a giant plant (which

actually is a transformed rabbit (and no, we are not talking
about the rabbit from a certain Monty Python movie...).
After defeating it, the team will meet Randy's master. After
some talking, the master gets captured by Valgar and his
soldiers. Valgar is just about to attack, when Katrina shows
up, and lets her soldiers fight the team. But when the
soldiers are defeated, Katrina tries to fight the heroes
by herselves. When she is beaten, Valgar saves her. The
master is saved again, and he talks a bit to the team about
Kanon and the kingdom. From this place you have two alternatives

Go save the village.

Head for the castle.

The first alternative leads to Stage 6. The second alternative

leads to Stage 8.

-------------------------
Stage 04 - Wizard Weapons
-------------------------

This place takes place in a town, and you first of all meet
some troops of blue soldiers. After this, you head inside
something which looks like a big storage, and more soldiers
are avaiting you here. You will also face red robots and
witches. When all these enemies are beaten, you will meet
Kanon, but you will not fight him yet. Instead you will fight
his robot, Silver. When he is beaten, you get two alternatives

Close in on Kanon.
Retreat and go to the village.

The first alternative leads to a little talk with Kanon

(Serena shows up), and then Kanon vanishes. You get surrounded
by a couple of red robots, that you have to destroy, when this
is done, you will continue to stage 12. The second alternative
leads to Stage 7.
-------------------------------
Stage 05 - Powerless Resistance
-------------------------------

This stage takes place outside a village. You first fight

some soldiers, and will met some green soldiers, that are
you allies (they are members of the resistance army). In the
end of this part of the stage, there is a wooden sign. If you
stand just next to it, in the very back row, then you will be
brought to the area, where you can gain bonus experience
points. When you continue, you will reach to the village, and
will face Zuru, with his soldiers. You will fight him, the
soldiers, and the city guard (who actually is fighting on your
side, but which was reprogrammed by Zuru). After a while of
fighting, Zuru retreats, but attacks again with new soldiers.
When he and the soldiers are beaten, Serena shows up again,
and tells that the royal family is a fake. After this, Zuru
escapes. Now you have three alternatives

Approach the castle from the forest.

Approach the castle from the town.
Avoid the battle in town.

The first alternative leads to Stage 11. The second alternative

leads to Stage 10. The third alternative leads to Stage 9.

---------------------
Stage 06 - Royal Trap
---------------------

The stage begins with a battle of a gang of thieves, that are

trying to capture your golden undead warrior, but of course,
they fail. A fight against them begins (cough and redhair).
When you have won this fight, Zurus soliders arrives, and you
escape. You will meet Zuru and his soldiers and you start
fighting again. When he is beaten, Serena arrives, Zuru plays
a silly joke with you grin and then he escapes.

Now you have three alternatives

Approach the castle from the forest.

Approach the castle from the town.
Avoid the battle in town.

The first alternative leads to Stage 11. The second alternative

leads to Stage 10. The third alternative leads to Stage 9.

---------------------------
Stage 07 - Captured Kingdom
---------------------------

The stage starts with that you get surrounded by red robots.
After destroying them, the golden undead warrior almost gets
captured under a spell, but breaks free from it. Valgar shows
up with his soldiers, and fights you. When Valgar is beaten,
people are fleeing, and Valgar vanishes. Pink soliders arrive.
When these are beaten, the stage continues to the next part,
which takes place outside the village (see Stage 5). You will
fight some other pink soldiers, and some green soldiers from
the resistance army helps you on the way. You meet Zuru. He
talks some rubbish, and then he gets away, leaving you with
wizards and a giant city guard to fight. When the fight is
over, Serena arrives, Zuru plays a (another different) silly
joke with you grin and then he escapes.

Now you have three alternatives

Approach the castle from the forest.

Approach the castle from the town.
Avoid the battle in town.

The first alternative leads to Stage 11. The second

alternative leads to Stage 10. The third alternative leads to
Stage 9.

--------------------------
Stage 08 - Earth in Sorrow
--------------------------

You are first of all fighting greywhite soldiers and

skeletons on this aceint battlefield. When these are beaten,
you meet Valgar again. After some talk, a new white undead
warrior raises, and knocks Valgar down. After that it
starts attacking you. Be careful with it, because it has
plenty of nasty surprises up in its sleeve. When is is
beaten, Han gets a new fire-sword (like the one he had in
the beginning of the game), and he raises plenty of
levels!! After this, Valgar has recovered, and will fight
you. When is beaten, Kanon thw wizard will appear. Then
Serena appears. Kanon will tell you a story about the sky
and earth spirits, and the kingdom. When his story is over,
you have some alternatives about what you could reply to all
this

You are insane!

Replacing the Khans was wrong!
Upsetting the spirits is unwise.
Was force the only option
This is the way it must be.

The first alternative leads to a fight against Kanon. When he

is defeated, the game procceeds to stage 13. The second
alternative leads to a fight as well, and then to stage 14.
The third alternative leads to a fight as well, and then to
stage 15. The fourth alternative does not lead to any fight
against Kanon. Instead it leads to stage 16. It is the same
thing about the fifth alternative, but instead it leads to
Stage 17.

------------------------
Stage 9 - Den of Thieves
------------------------

This stage looks like a undeground graveyard, and maybe it

is something like that (it is quite funny to destroy the
skeletons on the ground, and they also give expereince
points! ;) ). Black soldies, and some kind of flying slime
is attacking you here. You will then meet Valgar, and after
a little teasing, a fight begins. When Valgar has lost a
lot of energy, you will get surrounded by some weird guys (I
don´t remember their names), and you will be brought to their
boss, (I don´t remember his name either). Valgar gets annoyed,
and a very messy fight begins. After a while of fighting,
the fight gets interruptes, and Serena arrives. She talks a
bit about the sword. But Valgar gets enough of it, and escapes.
And you leave as well. Now you will meet Kanon. He will tell
you a story about the sky and earth spirits, and the kingdom.
When his story is over, you have some alternatives about what
you could reply to all this

You are insane!

---------------------------
Stage 10 - Town of Traitors
---------------------------

This city has civilians walking around. If you kill them

(which is quite brutal), they will try to escape. You will
also face different kinds of soldiers here, and giant black
cyclops. You will reach the castle, where Valgar awaits you.
A fight with him begins, and when he is beaten, the fight
continues outside. When he is beaten for a second time, Zuru
arrives with some wizards. Zuru and Valgar goes away, leaving
you and the wizards behind to fight. When the wizards are
beaten, you catch up with Valgar and Zuru. Kanon arrives, and
Zuru escapes. Serena appears. Kanon will tell you a story
about the sky and earth spirits, and the kingdom. When his

who will be your next opponent. When he is beating, you will
go after Lucia, who is getting captured by some thieves. You
need to defeat them to save Lucia. Valgar shows up, and gets
serious to you, but Lucia explains that you saved her life.
Kanon shows up. Valgar tells Lucia to escape, and she does.
Then Serena appears. Kanon will tell you a story about the
sky and earth spirits, and the kingdom. When his story is

can simply run across them, if you don´t want to fight them. You
will fight black goblins, and other weird slimy creatures.
After this, you will find yourself in a great hall, and you
will meet the Earth spirit, and fight it (or her, the spirit
is a female). When you have beaten her, she transforms into

this way. When she is beaten, the game is completed.

-----------------------------

In this cavern, you first some troups of pink soldiers,

some wizards, and a couple of different robots. After this,
you will meet Zuru again. he will talk some rubbish, and
then you fight him. When he is defeated, he will talk with
you, and you will get a couple of alternatives what to
reply. It doesn´t matter which one you choose, nothing
happens anyway. After a new meeting with Valgar, he gets
new power and transforms into Super Zuru, which is the final
boss, if you have taken this way. When he is beaten, the
game is completed.

-----------------------------------
Stage 26 - Scenario for Destruction
-----------------------------------

This stage is similar to stage 24 It takes place

underground, somewhere which looks like hell. Green and
black goblins, strange yellow creatures, and flying
creatures are attacking you here. When all these enemies
are beaten, you will go to a great hall, where you meet
the earth spirit, and after a talk, you will fight it.
When it is beaten, you will be brought to stage 29.

-----------------------------
Stage 27 - Clockwork Strategy
-----------------------------

This stage takes place in another building, which looks a

bit like a dungeon. Gray soldiers, witches, and robots
await you here. You will also fight two blue city guards,
and Silver from Stage 4. When these are beaten, you will
reach Lucia again. Valgar appears and has realised that he
was wrong all the time. You will continue to stage 30.

-------------------------------
Stage 28 - Warrior in the Light
-------------------------------

You are brought up to the sky, and will fight yellow

soldiers and magicians here, and a bit further, you will
also fight giants, and some white city guard robot. When
these are beaten, a sky spirit appears. After some talking,
you will fight him. When he is beaten, you will face Valgar
once again, dressed in white. You will fight him, and he is
the final boss, if you have taken this way. When he is
beaten, the game is completed.

-------------------
Stage 29 - Paradise
-------------------

the sky spirit, who looks like an angel warrior. He tells
you about how you were guided during all the fights, and
then he challenges you. When is is beaten, he transforms
into an enormous monster, who is the final boss, if you
have taken this way. When he is beaten, the game is
completed.

------------------------
Stage 30 - A New Journey
------------------------

Here you will only fight the final boss. The easiest way to
beat him, is to let the undead golden warrior to go
Beserk!, and then you use all fire magic you have. When
you have run out of fire, simply attask him like crazy, and
when you have gotten some magic points, use new fire magic
as much as possible. Repeat til that he goes down. When he
is beaten, the game is completed.
