Legend of Mana LoM Event Guide

Intro

One frustration I’ve found in Legend of Mana is not knowing which events are missable, what their prerequisites are, or what their fail-states are. So I’ve made a basic guide for myself. There are 68 total events. I’ve organized them by quest line, so you can easily see where to go next if you’re trying to follow a specific storyline. The questlines themselves can usually be done in any order, however be aware that certain quests are failable or will disappear if you trigger a later quest.

I’ve cobbled this together from a variety of different guides, so if I’ve made a mistake (or things are different in the Remaster) please let me know.

What this guide is not: it’s not a map. I know the areas are mazes, but if you need help navigating, please refer to other guides. It also will not tell you how to defeat bosses.

BEWARE OF SPOILERS. I don't go into details of what each quest entails, but I cannot guarantee that this is a spoiler-free guide either.

General Tips

Do not leave an area before completing the event (if the event does not require you to leave)

Do not return home with an event NPC/invite a different quest NPC while on an event with an NPC

Save often, and keep a few backup saves

Talk to Li’l Cactus after every event

Do not enter Geo until you're ready to do Gilbert: School Amour. (Go do Gilbert: Love is Blind first!)

Do not enter the Tower of Leires until you're ready to do The Looking Glass Tower. (Go do The Lost Princess first!)

Do not enter the White Forest without Larc until you're ready to do Catchin' Lilipeas. (Go do Where's Putty? and Huntin' Du'Cate first!)

Because NG+ keeps the Orchard/Ranch/Workshops unlocked, you cannot(?) get the Li’l Cactus diary entries for the events that unlock them on a second time around. Make sure to talk to Li’l Cactus and record those events!

During the quest Li’l Cactus, Li’l Cactus becomes unavailable for a while. It’s recommended to not start this quest until you’ve unlocked and cleared the initial quests in all areas you need to visit for this event, as you won’t be able to record them.

Completing one of the major storylines (Faeries, Dragons, or Jumi) will trigger the Cage of Dreams quest, which grants you the Sword of Mana AF, which gives +3 to all elements to the surrounding lands. It’s recommended to place it next to Domina, to trigger two mana-dependent events.

The quest Legend of Mana will complete the game. Clear everything you want to clear first! (You can do a NG+ from a clear save file)

Easily Missed Events

Below are the easily missed events. Note that more events than these can be missed/failed, but some would require you to go out of your way for that to happen.

Gaia’s Wisdom: If you enter Gato Grottoes after completing Flame of Hope but before starting Gaia’s Wisdom, Gaia’s Wisdom becomes unavailable. Mission will be failed if you go to Gato Grottoes with Danae after starting the event.

Seeing Double: 3 Shade required in Domina

Peewee Birdie: 3 Wisp/3 Salamander required in Domina, DO NOT speak to Pewee birdie too often (10 times) or he will break and the event is lost. If you answer incorrectly during the event, the mission is failed.

If you place the Sword of Mana AF next to Domina, you can be sure to have the required mana levels for both these events. Wimpy Thugling: 3 Dryad required in Duma Desert

Gilbert: Love is Blind: Missed if you enter Geo’s café before doing it (this will trigger Gilbert: School Amour)

Where’s Putty?: Unavailable if you complete Catchin’ Lilipeas and Diddle Had It! before this.

Li’l Cactus: Unavailable if you complete Cosmo before this.

The Treasure Map: has a fail state

The Snowfield Faeries: missed if you failed The Treasure Map

Pokiehl: Dream Teller: if you leave the area before completing the mission, it fails

Diddle Had It!: if you leave the area before completing the mission, it fails

If you’ve found other quests that are missable/easy to fail, please let me know.

Event Details

Arcs can generally be done in any sequence, but some events will break others (even across arcs) so save often, and in multiple slots!

In general:

Never leave a quest area if you aren’t prompted to!

Don’t boot an event NPC out of your party until you’ve completed the event!

Always agree to help when asked!

On prereqs – in most cases, a prerequisite quest must simply have been either completed or failed. Thus failing a quest won’t usually lock you out of later events in the arc.* Completely missing a quest, however, will make subsequent steps impossible to access. (*The exception is "The Treasure Map", which you must succeed in order to continue the quest line.)

A quick note on rewards: I’m only going to list artifact rewards. Most artifacts have multiple ways of getting them. If you already have both artifacts, you’ll get metal (for crafting) instead.

Primary artifact: You will always receive this artifact if you don’t already have it.

Secondary artifact: You will receive this one as well if you have 3 or fewer artifacts on hand, or you will receive only this one if you already have the Primary AF but not the secondary one.
