Mystic Ark

The pseudo-sequel to The 7th Saga, often cited for localization as "The 7th Saga 2" but was never released outside of Japan.

To do:

  • List unused enemies and provide images.

Unused Items#

Items#

7EB0A0xx
7EB0A106
Changes the main character's first item in the inventory.
Where an unused item is xx:
11: Poisoned Water [どくみずのビン] - Does low poison damage to one enemy in battle. Description:
{| class="wikitable" style="margin: auto;" ! Text ! Translation |- | ビンの中には
ドク水が 入っている
敵1体に ドクのダメージ | There is poisoned water
inside the bottle. Does
poison damage to 1 enemy. |}

16: Debug Crystal [デバッグクリスタル] - Debug warping tool. See below. The description reads "デバッグようのクリスタル", or "Crystal for Debugging".
18: Battle Records [たたかいのきろく] - Using it displays "これまでのきろく" (Historical Records) but otherwise does nothing.
The description reveals much more about the item's intended use:

いどう中に 使うと
今までの ぼうけんや 戦いの
データを 見る事が出来る

If you use this on the
field, you can view the
data of past battles.

This feature was likely scrapped in favor of viewing monster stats using the monster capture option.
19: , No description. Using it will exit the menus but no other effect.
1B: Battle Skill Book [せんとうわざぜんしょ] - Using it opens an empty dialogue window. Description:
{| class="wikitable" style="margin: auto;" ! Text ! Translation |- | 戦闘中に使える
技について 書かれている
| Contains information on techniques
that can be used in battle.
|} Was most likely rendered obsolete thanks to the description option in the normal menus.
1C: Grand Magic Book [だいまほうぜんしょ] - Using it, again, only opens an empty dialogue window. These all appear right after each other at the end of the group of usable key items, which would seem to indicate they'd all do something useful when used. Description:
{| class="wikitable" style="margin: auto;" ! Text ! Translation |- | 魔法について 書かれている
つかいコマンドで
よむ事が出来る | You can read it by using
it to learn about magic. |} Again, it was most likely rendered obsolete thanks to the description option in the normal menus.
2A: - The item's name is blank and it does nothing if used; however, the description is entirely unique, and appears to be of a deleted item:

何と これを食べると
レベルが 1つ下がってしまう!

When you eat this, your
level will go down by 1!

2B: Biscuit [ビスケット] - This (according to the description) has the same effect as the Gryphon Boots, which enables you to avoid the effects of damage floors. The only problem is that damage floors are practically nonexistent in this game. Also, the item is unusable anyway (weirdly, it can be used in battle against a single enemy, to no effect). Description:
{| class="wikitable" style="margin: auto;" ! Text ! Translation |- | これを食べると
ダメージのゆかを
ノーダメージで通れるようになる
| If you eat this, you will be
able to walk on the damage floors
without taking damage. |}

48: Scroll [スクロール] - Using it or accessing the description opens an empty dialogue window. Notably appears within a group of event items.

Debug Room

Debug Room#

file:mystic_ark_debug_room.png
You can enter this room through the Debug Crystal while in the main Temple area. This room, in which you spawn inside a wall and must use hacks to get out (try 7E09A468 or otherwise modify RAM address 7E09A4 to 68 after entering), takes place on the Bloodhook ship and contains a variety of NPCs, all of which say generic inventory dialogue or the first line of gender choice at the game's start (which doesn't affect anything). The fox, however, runs an Inn for 50G. All exits are nonfunctional.
