Blade of Escata

The Blade of Escata, featured in Unlimited SaGa, is the ceremonial weapon of the EscataRoyal Family. The Blade of Escata becomes the central focus of Laura's story as she attempts to aid Prince Henri. In the wake of Escata's destruction at the hands of Dagul Bos the dagger is kept by Henri, Prince of Escata, as the only remaining member of the Royal Family left alive. The Blade has a secret hidden power that can be brought forth by the use of the Elemental Gears, collection of which is the main driving force of Laura's story.

Elemental Gears
* Basil Galeos' Castle appears as a separate area just outside Escata, and is only present in Laura's scenario.

There are 5 Elemental Gears that manifest as pieces of armour, made of the material Altmana. Each time you acquire one of the Gears the power of the Blade will increase. The Elemental Gears can be equipped on anyone in the party (not just Henri) and are great pieces of armour, often with special abilities and traits.

In order to obtain the Elemental Gears you have to complete a certain dungeon and defeat the enemy guarding it. As you start each quest you will be joined by that Gears' Guardian who will permanently join your party (with the exception of Basil Galeos who simply gives you the Gear and leaves) The dungeon you choose to tackle last will not have a Gear in it. Instead, the Gear will be in the possession of Dagul Bos.

You will lose all the Gears you have collected near the end of Laura's story after Henri chooses to give the Gears and the Blade of Escata to Basil for safekeeping; triggering the adventure "Decisive Battle at Dagul Bos' Castle." (Of course, the player can do as many sidequests as they want with the Gears in hand before giving them to Galeos)

If the player manages to actually defeat Bos at the end of the af0orementioned quest,they will get to keep the Gear he had in his posession; though the others Gears and the Blade will be lost for good.

In Armic's scenario, recruiting Henri will net you the Blade only, as the Elemental Gears are not a part of Armic's storyline.
