Leon and Gerard dispatch monsters in the sealed cave, effectively eliminating their presence from the cavern itself. The duo arrive back in Avalon and are greeted by Victor, Leon's oldest son and Gerard's brother. As Leon readies himself on his throne, he is approached by a seer. Gerard exits the room and roams about the town until he approaches his father in the throne room. The king talks about the seer's ramblings and tells Victor to look after Avalon as he and Gerard go off to dispatch more monsters.

After eliminating the goblin king and routing all the enemies in the goblin outpost, Gerard heads straight for Somon to eliminate Kzinssie. As Gerard and his companions defeat the demon, Kzinssie mentions that he will bide his time and sleep. As Kzinssie perishes, Gerard is able to satisfy his vengeance but he wonders if Kzinssie will someday revive. Eliminating Kzinssie allows Avalon to retake Somon, allowing passage to the North and South Varennes.

One year later, Gerard sits on the throne wearing golden armor having fully ascended to the throne as Emperor and discusses the current situation with a minister. The most pressing issue at hand is that a fortress has been built over the Victor Canal, controlling all traffic.
One year later, Gerard sits on the throne wearing golden armor and discusses the current situation with an officer.
 
==== Assailing the Keep ====
Gerard decides to head to the Canal Fortress to end the threat and resolve the matter at hand. Arriving at the Canal Fortress. Gerard discovers that the front is incredibly well guarded with soldiers and archers making the gate a very firm iron wall of defense to break through. After a tough fight, Gerard succeeds and enters, fighting all the way to the one who is in charge of the fortress.
 
==== Untrustworthy Infiltration ====
At the Canal Fortress a small bar is spotted, inside there is one who says for a price, Gerard can sneak in. Paying a heavy amount out of pocket to the man, he is offered a boat to sneak in via a port. However as he enters and arrives at the port, the boat sinks making returning impossible all the while enemies crawl about. Gerard fights his way to the top where he confronts the one in charge.
 
==== Path of the Cat ====
Among the issues, one other plagues Avalon, the disappearance of funds from various citizens also brings concern to the throne knowing that the imperial treasury may be next. One night, Gerard leaves the palace at night to find out how people are losing their crowns, heading into the weapon shop he notices the fireplace, after hearing from the Shopkeeper's son about dashing across the rooftops, he takes to them crossing over rooftop to rooftop and discovers the thief pilfering from the palace. He makes chase after her before finding her caught by monsters. Deciding to spring her from her mistake, the thief thanks him and tells Gerard to inquire about "the Cat" with the bartender. The next day, Gerard arrives at the tavern, asking the very question, he is directed to the Imperial Cemetery where the custodian lets him enter a hidden path. The Emperor finds himself in a large underground chamber where the "Thieves Guild" made their headquarters. Gerard then speaks to the man who is presumed to be the leader and asks for his help in infiltrating the Fortress and that the guild shall be compensated. The man agrees on the condition he routs the tentacled monster from the sewers en route to the underground cemetery. Gerard completes the task, when he returns the Guild Leader says nobody would be willing to take the task. Cat then chimes in and volunteers and says to meet her at the fortress. Arriving at the Fortress in a small building at the south of the courtyard, Gerard finds Cat who says she scouted the fortress and marked the way for him. She opens a hidden passage under the table of the building and Gerard enters the fortress through a small passage, using the markings Cat left him he reaches the top and confronts the one behind the operation of the Fortress.
 
==== Intentions Revealed ====
The leader of the operation says that defeating Kzinssie was just a fluke, that Kzinssie was the weakest of the Seven and that his master Bokhohn is far better than Kzinssie. Gerard then engages the leader and defeats him and his minions, liberating the Canal and properly adding South Varennes to the Empire.

=== Skill System ===
{{Main|Glimmer}}
The skill system in Romancing SaGa 2 was the first of the series to utilize a "glimmer" system. This system would become one of the cornerstones to how later games in the series would handle learning skills.
In this game, using a weapon gives you the random chance to glimmer a new skill in battle. The requirements can be somewhat stringent and counter-intuitive at times. However, not all characters can glimmer all skills. The list of skills available for glimmering to a particular character is dependent upon their glimmer type.
Characters are able to learn up to eight skills. Skills will need to be forgotten by the character in order to learn new skills. During battle, a glimmer is denoted by a lightbulb appearing before an attack. This indicates that a new move was learned. Learned skills can be forgotten.
Skills from previous generations may be re-learned from the Skill Dojo in Avalon Castle.


Ward moves can also be learned and can be glimmered by characters. These moves allow characters to anticipate and evade special moves performed by the enemy. Ward icons will be displayed next to the skill name instead of the weapon. Ward moves do not  consume any combat resources.

{{Main|List of Romancing SaGa 2 spells}}Spells in ''Romancing SaGa 2'' can be used to attack monsters or heal allies.


Spells are derived from different attributes of magic available in the game:

=== Succession System ===
===Generation System===
* See also: [[Generation Mechanics]]
Romancing Sa-Ga 2 functions off of a generational system, where after certain events, time moves forward, leading to a new generation of characters. This allows the players the chance to try a new set of characters and explore new story lines.
* See also: [[Succession]]
''Romancing SaGa 2'' functions off of a successional system, where after certain events, time moves forward, leading to a new generation of characters. This allows the players the chance to try a new set of characters and explore new storylines.


There are three conditions for Succession which will cause the current player's emperor to be succeeded by a new character:
*[[Generation Mechanics]]
* '''Emperor's LP is reduced to 0''' - When the emperor dies after LP is reduced to 0, one of the remaining party members will be the heir.
* '''Party is defeated in battle''' - When the entire party is defeated in battle, four random characters will be available to become heir.
* '''Many years have passed''' - When a long period of time passes due to an event, four random characters will be available to become heir.


The availability of certain Heirs will be dependent on how the previous emperor left the throne.
===Formation System===
Romancing Saga 2 features a formation system where players can augment their party further through learning new formations. There are 16 total formations in the original SNES version (1 being inaccessible without a gameshark), and 18 in the remake on iOS, Android, Vita. (The original inaccessible one on the SNES was brought back and implemented with 2 additional added)
*[[Formation System]]


Following the Succession procedure, a list of candidates for Succession will be made available to the player. After selecting an Heir, the inheritance ceremony will take place in the throne room. The new emperor will not have any allies so allies will need to be recruited.
===Equipment===
Romancing Saga 2's equipment system allows for each character to equip 4 weapons and 3 pieces of armor. (With a 4th possible one for fixed equipment for certain characters)
*[[Weapons (Romancing SaGa 2)]]
*[[List of Romancing SaGa 2 armor]]


Upon completing the Succession, the Heir will inherit the HP, MP and SP of the previous emperor if those values are higher than the stats of the Heir. If the Heir's values for those stats are higher, the Heir's values will be retained instead. Other stats will use the heir's values.
===Enemies===
 
Romancing Saga 2, unlike other titles produced by Square Enix, does not use a random chance encounter system. All enemy encounters only happen when you run into a visible enemy entity on the map. However, enemy generation within the encounter is impacted by the enemy type you ran into on the map screen and by your total battle count. (In the remake, you can find your battle count in the lower right hand corner on the second floor of the Avalon castle and speak to the minister sitting in the small room)
The previous emperor's equipment can be found in the castle's storeroom.
