The Ultimate Shining Force 2 Guide: The Shining Force: Taya

Name:	Taya
Japanese:	Rinda (translated: Linda)
Race:	Human
Class:	Sorceress (SORC)
Promotion:	None

Taya the Sorceress is at Mitula’s Shrine. When you’ve beaten Zalbard and spoken with Goddess Mitula, go through the doorway on the right and you should see a statue. Search it and Taya will be restored to her normal form and will tell you that Mitula wants her to go with you. Despite her great spells, she has a weak defence and unless this is worked on soon she will not last through much of a battle.

Taya’s Headquarters Quote:
“The force of nature is more powerful than the devils!”

Statistics & Growth

Initial Statistics

LV	HP	MP	ATT	DEF	AGI	MOV	Weapon	Spells

The graphs below show the growth rate of Taya’s statistics throughout the game, starting at level 1 (level 1 stats are based on growth rate if the character joined at any other level). These are adapted from the ASCII/Famitsu Shining Force II Guide Book, and so should be pretty accurate! However, please note that the charts are based on a standard game, in which no extra training is given to any characters. The growth may vary with extra training, and even from game to game, due to the random level-ups.

Spells

Below is a list of the spells learned by this character, and at which level the character needs to be for the spell level to increase.

Note: The game always assumes that a character has been promoted at level 20. For example, a spell learned at level 37 could be gained at level 37 before promotion, or level 17 after promotion if promoted before level 37. For more info on how the spells work, see the Spells Page.
