What is Legend of Mana?
A guide to the 26 lands created by artifacts, three story arcs and five facilities, using the Japanese character names and concrete actions. The index of 67 diary entries is distinguished from the procedures that have been cross-checked.
Scope: Primarily the Japanese PlayStation version. HD-version convenience features are listed separately; no hands-on play verification has been performed. / Content checked: October 2, 2026
Start with your objective
- If you cannot reach Domina, receive Colorblocks from the Sproutling outside your home and place them on the map.
- If you cannot make weapons or instruments, check the workshop prerequisite events and the shed northwest of your home.
- If the final land has not appeared after finishing one main arc, check the dream event at Home and place the Sword of Mana.
Scope of this index and its procedures
The name index and the actions specifically cross-checked have different scopes.
| Category | Total or classification | Coverage here |
|---|---|---|
| Events | 67 diary entries plus the final event, Mana | Core actions for 33 diary entries and the final event. Individual requirements for the other 34 diary entries are not included. |
| Artifacts and lands | 26 artifact types | Lists the lands created by each artifact |
| Companions | 12 character categories | Names are listed; all recruitment and rejoining flags have not been cross-checked. |
| Abilities | 8 initial abilities plus 18 derived abilities | Prerequisites for all 26 are listed. Required battle counts are not listed. |
| Special techniques | 11 weapon categories | Explains learning by weapon type. Numerical cross-checking of every technique is incomplete. |
| Enemies, equipment and materials | Regular enemies, bosses, fixed items and crafted items are treated separately | This does not claim to complete every encyclopedia or recipe. |
Three main story arcs
| Arc | Central characters | Endpoint |
|---|---|---|
| Jewel thieves | Ruri, Shinju-hime and Lady Pearl | The Teardrop Crystal |
| Dragon slayers | Larc and Sierra | The Crimson Dragon |
| Escad | Danae, Escad, Matilda and Irwin | Heaven's Gate |
- Each arc eventually leads to The Cage of Dreams at Home and Mana. Completing all three arcs is not treated as a requirement.
Distinguish the original from the HD remaster
Character and event names in the text primarily follow the Japanese PlayStation version. Check the 2021 HD version's convenience features separately.
| Action or feature | PlayStation original | HD remaster |
|---|---|---|
| Saving | Use the normal save locations | Autosave and saving from the menu, with some exceptions |
| Regular encounters | The original battle progression | Settings can suppress enemy encounters |
| Music | Original soundtrack | Choose the arranged or original soundtrack |
| Ring Ring Land | A PocketStation feature | Accessible within the game |
- The smartphone version and versions supporting offline two-player play do not have identical features. Check the official product information for supported platforms.
Check diary entries separately from event completion
- After completing an event, speak to Li'l Cactus in the bedroom at home.
- Go downstairs, then check the diary after the entry has been written.
- Before starting the next event, confirm that the completed event is recorded in the diary and save.
Public materials used for checking
Official version information takes priority. The procedures adopted here are those shared by independent Japanese and English guide sources.
