Nick battles Woldol using the Sword of Hajya, which can only be wielded by those of the royal bloodline of Cypress and is the only weapon which can break Iom's power. In a final assault on Cypress's castle, Edmond is killed. ![]() The Guardiana army also learns that Nick is, in fact, the son of the late king. On their journey, they are joined by members of the Cypress resistance force, who are fighting to free Cypress from the influence of Woldol, who murdered the rightful king and installed Edmond as a puppet ruler in service to the evil god Iom. The party travels to the kingdom of Cypress to rescue Guardiana's captive soldiers and find a way to cure Queen Anri.

Book 3 is unlocked by completing Books 1 and 2, while Book 4 can be accessed by completing Books 1-3 and finding a hidden item in Book 2. Only Books 1 and 2 are available from the beginning. The second two Books are new scenarios exclusive to Shining Force CD that continue the story of those games. The first two Books contain the adapted versions of the Gaiden games. ![]() Shining Force CD is divided into four "Books" that can be played sequentially or separately. Between cutscenes, the player is allowed to save the game, promote characters, resurrect fallen characters, and sometimes buy and sell weapons and healing items. The player progresses through a series of turn-based tactical battles interspersed with short cutscenes. The gameplay mechanics are identical to those of the Shining Force Gaiden games.
