In Romancing SaGa 2, there are six kinds of magic. Dark magic is the only type that is not easy to get. You must give something up to learn it. This is how you do that.
Starting
To get dark magic, you have to give up some things. The towns of Tsukijima and Zemio will be gone. You will not be able to use the Salamander class. Your Emperor will also leave, and someone else in your group will become the new Emperor.
You get dark magic during the second Mt. Comroon event. To start this event, you need to control Tsukijima (the island in the top right of the map). Then, you need to play the game for a while. Eventually, the game will ask you if you want to start the event.
After this, go to Tsukijima. If the screen shakes whenever you talk to someone, you’re definitely ready to begin.
Go to Zemio and talk to the Salamander in the top house of the left side. If for some reason you don’t have Zemio on your map, talk to people in Tsukijima until it shows up. I’m pretty sure one of the men in the pub will activate it. You’ll then be told to tell everyone back at Tsukijima to evacuate the island.
Return to Tsukijima and talk to the mayor. He’ll then have the town evacuated.
The Eruption
After having Tsukijima evacuated, return to the Salamander you talked to before. He’ll give you the Comroon Hammer.
Now comes the part where we branch off into letting the volcano erupt. Normally, you’d climb the volcano and fight the boss at the top. Instead, return to Tsukijima and watch it be destroyed.
If you take a look at the map, you’ll notice something new has appeared. For now, ignore it and go to the Seer’s Citadel.
Unlike when you visited before, there are now monsters everywhere. Walk inside and go through the statues to open up a new path.
Once you reach the roof, enter the tower on the opposite side. Climb one flight of stairs and then exit through the bottom part of the screen.
Climb the stairs to the Sorceror’s room. Wake him up and he’ll tell you he’s going to the new island.
The Island
Leave the Citadel and go to the island. On the right side, there’s a set of stairs. Head down into the dungeon.
In the middle, there’s a switch on the floor. Stepping on it will make the elephant statue on the right light up. Go directly right from here and find another set of stairs.
After going down the stairs, go up until you reach a cave. You’ll then find the Sorceror standing in front of a chest.
Talk to him and you can choose to either fight him or let him go. Letting him go causes dark magic to be lost, so fight him. I recommend saving beforehand, he’s not particularly difficult but is still capable of killing your entire party with a single attack.
After this, the Emperor leaves the throne and one of your party members takes their place.
The Tome
Return to where you fought the Sorceror. Open the chest to find some gold, items, and an a magic tome.
Return to Avalon and head to the magic lab, specifically the divine lab. Talk to whoever and they’ll take the tome from you.
After this, leave and head right through the forest. You now have access to dark magic.
