Beginning your journey =============================================================================== +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | I-A - Adventure Logs | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ After the title screen, you will be presented with the following three options: ぼうけんをする - Continue an adventure ぼうけんのしょをつくる - Create a new adventure log ぼうけんのしょをけす - Erase an adventure log Upon chosing to continue an adventure, you are prompted to select a memory card slot (スロット) from which to load. Select whichever slot your memory card is inserted into, and then the adventure log you wish to load. ---------- Upon choosing to create a new adventure log, you are presented with a prompt labeled なまえをいれてください: please input a name. I won't go into the details of hiragana/katakana here, as you can find that information elsewhere. In the far right column of the window, near the bottom, you will see three options: カナ: kana will change the characters to katakana, もどる: back acts as backspace, and おわる: end which will allow you to finish naming your character. Once you've chosen おわる to finish naming, you are presented with yet another window: サウンドせってい: sound settings. The choices are ステレオ: stereo and モノラル: monaural. Afterwards, you are prompted with a ボリューム: volume window. Here you can set the volume of the BGM and こうかおん: sound effects. After that, yet another window will prompt you to set the ひょうじそくど: display speed on a scale from はやい: fast to おそい: slow. After all of that (whew), you are asked if you would like to save to a memory card. Select はい: yes, then select a slot, and then a free space on your memory card. ---------- Upon choosing to erase an adventure log, you are prompted to select a memory card slot, as if you were creating an adventure log, and then a file to erase. +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | I-B - Menus | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ はなす: Talk じゅもん: Magic どうぐ: Item しらべる: Search つよさ: Status さくせん: Strategy -------------------------------- どうぐ: Item -------------------------------- On the left, you'll see a list of party members, and an extra option at the bottom: ふくろ: Bag. This was introduced to the Dragon Quest series in Dragon Quest 6, and has been present ever since. It holds infinite items, and as a bonus, it can also hold up to 999 of each item. That's a significant upgrade from the 99 in previous bags. When you select an item in the bag with the 〇 button, a submenu appears, containing the following options: つかう: Use - use the selected item わたす: Give - give the selected item to another party member, or bag そうび: Equip - equip the selected item すてる: Drop - throw away the selected item やめる: Cancel - close the menu system ------------------------------ つよさ: Status ------------------------------- After selecting this option, you are prompted to choose an individual character, or the bottom option ぜんいん: all members. If you place your cursor on ぜんいん: All members, you'll see a window to the right that looks something like this: +===========================================================================+ | カジノのコイン: Casino Coins | |---------------------------------------------------------------------------| | 0まい: 0 | +===========================================================================+ | メダル王にあずけたメダル: (Medals sent to the medal king) | |---------------------------------------------------------------------------| | 0まい: 0 | +===========================================================================+ | めいさんはくぶつかん: Regional Specialty Museum | |---------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | ひょうかポイント: Evaluation points: 0 | | はくぶつかんレベル: Museum level: 1 | +===========================================================================+ | おかね: Money | |---------------------------------------------------------------------------| | しょじきん: Money in possession: 1277G | | ぎんこう: Bank: 1000G | +===========================================================================+ | ぼうけんした時間: Time adventured | |---------------------------------------------------------------------------| | 3時間47分: 3 hours, 47 minutes | +===========================================================================+ When you select an individual member, you'll see a window to the right that looks something like this: +==============+ | Current Gold | +========================+==============+=============================+ | Character name | ちから: Strength | |------------------------| すばやさ: Agility | | Character title | たいりょく: Vitality | | せいぶつ: behavior | かしこさ: Intelligence | | レベル: Level | うんのよさ: Luck | +========================+ こうげき力: Attack power | | Equipped weapon | しゅび力: Defense power | | Equipped armor | さいだいHP: Max HP | | Equipped shield | さいだいMP: Max MP | | Equipped helmet | Ex: (Current experience points) | | Equipped accessory |============================================+ +========================+ ----------------------------- さくせん: Strategy --------------------------- After opening this menu, you get a new menu, with several options on it. They are: まんたん: Fill up - Heal all members to maximum HP automatically そうび: Equip - equip weapons and armor さくせんがえ: Strategy - set AI options for party members. You can set an option for individual members, or all members by choosing ぜんいんへんこう: change all. The AI options are: ガンガンいこうぜ: Show no mercy バッチリがんばれ: Fight wisely じゅもんつかうな: Don't use magic いのちだいじに: Focus on healing おれにまかせろ: Leave it to me めいれいさせろ: Follow orders ならびかえ: Rearrange party - reorder your party members どうぐせいり: Sort items - sort a party member's inventory. This will put all non-equipment items on the particular user into the bag. You can choose ぜんいん: all to perform this operation on all party members. After selecting an option here, you're asked to confirm whether you want to do it or not. ふくろせいり: Sort bag - sort the bag. You're presented with two options in a submenu: しゅべつ順: order by type and あいうえお順: order 'alphabetically'. You're asked to confirm this after selecting either one. せってい: Settings - here you can set the volume level for BGM and こうかおん: sound effects, as well as setting the sound mode to ステレオ: Stereo or モノラル: Monaural. +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | I-C - Battle | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ Upon entering a battle, you will be presented with this set of commands: たたかう: Fight いれかえ: Replace さくせん: Strategy にげる: Run The さくせん: strategy menu is exactly the same as in the regular game menu. いれかえ: replace allows you to reorder your party, or swap in members from your wagon. It doesn't take a turn, so don't worry about that. You'll notice a small arrow in the corner of this window. If you press right on the dpad, you'll get two new options: ひょうじそくど: text speed, and へんこう: change. After selecting たたかう: fight, you are presented with a new menu, which is the same for each member of your party. The commands are: おうげき: Attack どうぐ: Item じゅもん: Magic そうび: Equip ぼうぎょ: Defend にげる: Run The options should all be self-explanatory. It's important to note that for some party members, じゅもん: Magic will be replaced with とくぎ: Skill. It works exactly the same, however. =============================================================================== II. Walkthrough =============================================================================== +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | II-A - Prologue | +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+ As the game begins, you'll see a man pacing around a throne room. His name is パパス: Papas. The prime minister suggests that he calm down, but he is so restless that he only sits for a minute and begins pacing again! Soon, サンチョ: Sancho comes down and informs Lord Papas that his wife has just given birth! After rushing upstairs, Papas rushes to his wife, マーサ: Martha's room. He is overjoyed to see his wife and his new, beautiful baby boy. Martha asks him if he has a name in mind. Apparently, he does: トンヌラ: Tonnura. She says that it's a wonderful name for a little warrior, but she has something else in mind: whatever name you chose at the start. After some deliberating, Papas decides to use his wife's name instead of his stronger, more virile name. Papas takes the boy in his arms and tells him his new name. Unfortunately, due to the complications of birth, his wife dies... and the baby begins crying. The title sequence begins now. ---------- You wake up on a ship, and your father Papas is sitting at the table. As you wake up, your father asks about your dream (apparently, your dream and the sequence just before this are one in the same). He laughs and says that you should get some fresh air. Get out of bed and walk over to the dressers in the corner of the room. Check the one on the right for a 薬草: やくそう (Medical Herb), and the one on the left for a まもりのたね: Defense Seed. Head out of the room, ignoring the barrels to the south (they're all empty) and head up the stairs and through the door and you'll be on the deck of the ship! Head to the right and break the barrels you see for a 薬草: やくそう (Medical Herb). Continue north to the rear of the ship and break more barrels for a すごろく券: すごろくけん (Sugoroku Ticket). Head downstairs, and downstairs once again once you're in the kitchen. Down in the hold, break the top left barrel for another すごろく券: すごろくけん (Sugoroku Ticket), and the lower left barrel for a 薬草: やくそう (Medical Herb). Ignore the chests, as they are all locked, and head back up to the deck. Head south and around to the opposite end of the ship, past the soldier in green, and head into the door marked by the red carpet. Head upstairs and check the right dresser for a 薬草: やくそう (Medical Herb). Head back out. Now, in order to progress, you'll need to talk to a few NPCs. Most notably the captain and the two guys in the hold. Honestly, I'm not sure exactly which NPCs trigger this, and I don't think you need to talk to everybody on the ship, but if you're stuck, just talk to everybody and eventally, the man at the helm will yell "Land ho!" and you'll arrive at ビスタの港: Port Vista. After the landing sequence, the captain will emerge and tell you to go tell your father that you've landed, so do that. Afterwards, Papas will head up to the deck, so follow him. On deck, talk to Papas. The following scene was added to this version of the game: the camera will pan, and you'll see ルドマン: Ludman, and his daughter フロア: Flora. They appear to be very important people, as the ship's captain and crew are making special considerations for them. Papas is introduced to Ludman and Flora, and Flora heads into the cabin. You regain control here, and you can go meet Flora if you'd like. She'll ask if you came with your father, and say that she came with hers as well. Go back and talk to Papas, and he'll ask if you're ready to go, and if you remembered to check the drawers back in your room. Say はい: yes, and then he'll ask if you're really ready to go. Say はい: yes again. After getting off of the boat, Papas will be greeted by a man in green. Apparently these two know each other! Papas seems to want to catch up with him, so he tells you to go play for a while, and not wander off too far, but not before giving you the ふしぎな地図: ふしぎなちず (Mysterious Map). There's not much more to do here, but head onto the wooden area and break the middle barrel in the upper right for 10 gold. This place is pretty boring for a kid like you, so let's go play outside. Head north and exit to the map. Take a few steps, and you'll enter a battle with three slimes. Just as it seems like they might overwhelm you, Papas rushes in! After spoiling all of your fun, Papas asks if you're okay and casts ホイミ: Heal. Now it's time to continue on, so Papas will walk north from Port Vista to reach... .-------------------------------------------------------------------------. | II-A.1 - サンタローズの村: Santa Rose Village Lv. 2 | +=========================================================================+ | Services | | Church | | Inn: 0G | | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Weapon Shop | | ひのきのぼう: Cypress Stick 10G | | たけのやり: Bamboo Spear 50G | | とがったホネ: Sharpened Bone 70G | | かしのつえ: Wooden Staff 130G | | どうのつるぎ: Copper Sword 270G | | Herb Shop (after rescuing the man from the cave) | | やくそう: Medical Herb 6G | | どくけしそう: Antidote Herb 8G | +=========================================================================+ As you enter, the guard will recognize Papas, saying it's been 2 whole years since they've seen him around. He runs off to tell everybody that Papas has returned, and as you are led through the village, your father is greeted by the townspeople. As you arrive at the house, you are greeted by サンチョ: Sancho before entering the house. Inside, a girl rushes downstairs to greet you and your father. Her name is ビアンカ: Bianca and she's there with her mother. Bianca says grown-ups talking is boring, and asks if you want to go upstairs with her. Say はい: yes. Upstairs, she asks if you remember her. No matter what you say, she'll say that you haven't seen her since you were a baby. She says she's 8 years old, which makes her 2 whole years older than you! She'll try to read a book to show off how smart she is, but stumbles over the words: "in the sky, there is..." before saying the book is too hard. Her mother calls for her, so she puts the book away and heads downstairs. Now that you have control, finally, let's find some items. The dresser nearby has a 皮のぼうし: かわのぼうし (Leather Hat). Equip it (open the menu, go to どうぐ: Item, find the item and then select そうび: Equip on the submenu that appears when you select it), and don't forget to put the ふしぎなちず: (Mysterious Map) into your bag. Head downstairs and a little north under the stairs and break the pot to find a おなべのふた: Pot Lid. Rotate the camera a bit and head over to the dresser to find a 薬草: やくそう (Medical Herb). Now head downstairs via the stairs by Papas. There's just one item to find down here. Open the pot in the upper left to find a ちからのたね: Strength Seed. Head back upstairs and go outside. Enter the well in front of you and check the sparkling area to find a サンタローズの石: サンタローズのいし (Santa Rose Stone). Just throw it in the bag for now. Head south and enter the weapon shop. Inside, open the drawers to find another 薬草: やくそう (Medical Herb). You can't really afford much, so ignore the weapon shop. Cross the bridge to the west and talk to the farmer in the field. He'll notice your Santa Rose Stone and mention that it probably came from the cave in town. Head back towards Sancho's house, and go further north through the door in the rock face. If you talk to the man here, he'll mention that the man living here has gone into the cave to find some herbs. Why's he doing that? Well, if you go into the inn and go to the second floor, you'll find Bianca and her mother. She'll say that she had a man to go into the cave to get some medicine for her husband, but he hasn't returned yet... someone should check on him, right? Let's go ask daddy! If you do so, he'll say that he has business to take care of and rushes off. If you follow him, you can see that he goes into the right side of the cave. Hmm... Well, you can't count on your father for this, so it's time to play hero. Save at the church, and enter the cave. Someone's gotta find that man! +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | II-A.2 - サンタローズの洞くつ: Santa Rose Cave | +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | My level: 2 | +-------------+ Monsters in the area -------------------- #001 スライム: Slime #002 とげぼうず: Thorny #003 せみもぐら: Locust Mole #004 ドラキー: Drakee #005 おおきづち: Large Hammer #006 いっかくウサギ: Horned Rabbit Be on guard if you encounter any おおきづち, as they can hit pretty hard if they don't miss. They'll do about 13 damage with a successful attack. 1F-As you enter, you should see a chest off and up to the west a little bit. Open it for a 薬草: やくそう (Medical Herb). Head to the stairs in the northwestern corner. I recommend building up to at least level 3 before heading downstairs. At level 4, you will learn ホイミ: Heal, which will make the rest of your spelunking much safer, if you're having trouble. You can rest back at your house for free any time you want. B1-Head south and east a little bit to a chest that contains 50 gold. Return to the stairs, and continue west past them. When you hit an intersection, head north. You can try to read the sign here, and it'll say ["Danger! Do not enter!" is written here, but doesn't know how to read.] Cute! Further on, you'll come across a chest that contains a 皮のたて: かわのたて (Leather Shield). Go ahead and equip it, then move south, and east, then further south, then west to the stairs. B2-Follow the path until you reach an intersection, then go north. Talk to the man you see here; he'll ask you to move the rock off of him, so go next to the rock and push it. He'll get up and thank you, then rush back to give the medicine for ダンカン: Duncan, Bianca's father. Examine the rock you just pushed to receive 聖なる原石: せいなるげんせき (Holy Ore). This is used to acquire another item, which is one of the 名産品: Regional Specialty Product) added to this version of the game. You can't do anything with it just yet, so just throw it into your bag. You won't receive it if you didn't talk to the farmer back in town. Head northwest to the chest, which contains 旅人の服: たびびとのふく (Traveler's Clothes). Go ahead and equip this. We're done here, though you can head to the southeast and find a slime walking around. He'll just tell you that you can use the △ button to interact/talk/search instead of using the menu, in exchange for not bashing his cute, slimy brains in. Head on out of the cave, now. Back in town, head to the door in the rock face, through to where the guy you saved is sitting. Open the drawers here for the ておりのケープ: Handwoven Cape. Head back to Sancho's house, and talk to Sancho to rest. When you wake up, Papas, Bianca and her mother are in the kitchen. Papas says that Bianca and her mother got the medicine they needed, so they're going back today, but he doesn't want them to go alone. He asks if you'd like to go with them to アルカパ: Alcapa. Say はい: yes, and you'll depart. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | II-B - Castles and ghosts and killer panthers, oh my! | +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | My level: 3 | +-------------+ After being seen off by the townspeople in Santa Rose, you'll trek west to the town of アルカパ: Alcapa. .-------------------------------------------------------------------------. | II-B.1 - アルカパの町: Alcapa Town Lv. 3 | +=========================================================================+ | Services | | Church | | Inn: 0G | | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Weapon Shop | | たかのやり: Bamboo Spear 50G | | かしのつえ: Wooden Staff 130G | | ブロンズナイフ: Bronze Knife 150G | | どうのつるぎ: Copper Sword 270G | | いばらのムチ: Thorn Whip 350G | | ブーメラン: Boomerang 420G | | Armor Shop | | たびびとのふく: Traveler's Clothes 70G | | きめのエプロン: Silk Apron 110G | | かわのよろい: Leather Armor 180G | | かわのドレス: Leather Dress 380G | | うろこのたて: Scale Shield 180G | | きのぼうし: Wooden Hat 120G | | Item Shop | | やくそう: Medical Herb 8G | | どくけしそう: Antidote Herb 10G | | せいすい: Holy Water 20G | | キメラのつばさ: Chimera Wing 25G | | においぶくろ: Sachet 80G | | ヘアバンド: Hairband 150G | +=========================================================================+ When you enter, you'll be greeted by the gate guard, and then you'll head into the inn, which Bianca's family owns. Bianca's mother goes to administer the medicine, and you regain control. If you talk to Papas, he'll tell you to walk around town for a while if you're bored, so let's do that! As you try to exit, Bianca will ask if you're going for a walk, and she'll go along. Exit through the door just south of you, and talk to the bard out here. He'll mention that a strong king and beautiful queen once lived in the レヌールの城: Castle of Lenoire, but that they were unable to have children so the castle became deserted. However, it is said that late at night, weeping sounds can be heard from the castle! Creepy. Head back inside. Head upstairs in the inn, then head up another flight of stairs. Enter the room here to receive a まもりのたね: Defense Seed from the right dresser, and a キメラのつばさ: Chimera Wing from the left. If you walk out of the door on the second floor, south of the stairs going down and talk to the man outside, he'll say that he collects rare tableware, and that he heard the king of Lenoire once enjoyed tea with a fabulous silver tea set. This is a clue for another one of the 名産品: Regional Specialty Product added to the PS2 version of DQ5. Leave the inn. On the eastern side of town, you'll find the shops. You probably don't have very much money at this point (I only have about 150G), but when I play, I try to get a ブーメラン: Boomerang as soon as possible. These cost 420G, and you can't quite afford that yet, so just move on for now. Head south past the church and over a small bridge to come across two boys kicking a poor baby panther. Bianca tells them to leave the poor kitty alone, and they respond that they might consider it if you beat the ghosts of Lenoire castle... but that place is haunted, right? Oh dear. Head back to the inn and talk to Papas, and he'll say that Duncan only had a common cold, so it's time to head back to Santa Rose. However, Bianca's mother begs you to stay the night. During the night, Bianca wakes you up and says that you need to get a move on if you're going to beat the ghosts of Lenoire and save the poor kitten! So head out of the inn, and walk south past the sleeping guard. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | II-B.2 - Onward to Lenoire | +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | My level: 3 | +-------------+ Monsters in the area -------------------- #011 おおねずみ: Large Rat #004 ドラキー: Drakee #009 くびながイタチ: Long-necked Weasel #015 ベビーパンサー: Baby Panther #005 おおきづち: Large Hammer #007 グリーンワーム: Green Worm #006 いっかくウサギ: Horned Rabbit #010 バブルスライム: Bubble Slime Lenoire castle is located to the northwest of Alcapa. You can view the map by pressing □. However, I like to fight around Alcapa so I can afford a Boomerang, at the very least. If you run low on health, return to the inn in Alcapa, and you can rest. When you wake up you'll find that Papas has caught Duncan's cold, and you have to remain in Alcapa for a while. To give Lenoire another shot, just talk to Bianca on the first floor of the inn. To start with, walk around close to Alcapa until Bianca gains a few levels, or at least until the hero has learned ホイミ: Heal at level 4, and Bianca learns メラ: Frizz at level 3. After that, you can walk closer to Lenoire and fight larger groups of the same enemies. If you're feeling brave, you can move a little southeast from Alcapa and fight much harder enemies (especially on the little desert patch). Be careful, though; they're very difficult. Making the money necessary for a boomerang at this point in the game is kind of a lengthy time investment, but it does make the next area of the game a lot easier. If you don't care about getting a boomerang, then simply buy what you'd like and move on. From Alcapa, head west past the mountains, then turn north through the forest and cross the bridge. Follow the rocky area to another bridge and then head west into レヌール城: Lenoire Castle. +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | II-B.3 - レヌール城: Lenoire Castle | +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | My level: 6 | +-------------+ Monsters in the area -------------------- #004 ドラキー: Drakee #009 くびながイタチ: Long-necked Weasel #010 バブルスライム: Bubble Slime #011 おおねずみ: Large Rat #012 スカルサーペント: Skull Serpent #025 ゴースト: Ghost #021 ナイトウイプス: Night Whips #026 おばけキャンドル: Demon Candle BOSS うごくせきぞう: Walking Statue BOSS おやぶんゴースト: Boss Ghost Outside-If you walk up to the front door, you'll find it's locked, so head around to the eastern side instead. On your way, you'll come across two pots. The right one has a 薬草: やくそう (Medical Herb), and the left has a キメラのつばさ: Chimera Wing. Continue north and rotate the camera to see some spiral stairs, so climb them. Skip the first landing and continue to the top and enter the castle. 7F-Walk south, past the coffins, and they will begin to shake. Some skeletons emerge and walk towards you. The lights go out and Bianca screams. She's gone! Continue downstairs. 6F-Walk north past the statues. As you walk, one of the statues' eyes will gleam. If you talk to it twice, you can fight an うごくせきぞう: Walking Statue. However, I highly recommend NOT fighting it until you get Bianca back, as it's *very* difficult. Head outside through the nearby door. Outside-As you step out, you'll hear the left gravestone moan. Walk over to it and check it. It says "Here lies Bianca," but your hero can't read! The grave shakes again, and you're given the option of opening the grave. Say はい: Yes. The grave opens, and Bianca pops out! Now that you have Bianca back, you can return and fight the Walking Statue if you'd like. It's very difficult, even with Bianca. To give yourself a fighting chance, have Bianca cast マヌーサ: Dazzle and ルカナン: Kasap which she learns at level 7. Rukanan is only half as powerful as ルカニ: Sap, so you'll have to cast it twice to get full defense reduction. If you win, you'll receive a まもりのたね: Defense Seed. Whether you fight it or not, enter the door to the west from the outside area with the graves. 6F-Head south past the bookcases and talk to the ghostly queen. She will notice your party and open the passage for you. Head to the newly available staircase. 5F-Head east and north through the double doors. Speak with the queen on the sofa, and she will introduce her self as ソフィア: Sophia, the queen of Lenoire. She'll mention that more than ten years ago, the people of the castle were killed by demons. She then asks you to get rid of the ghosts so that she and her husband, エリック: Eric, can rest in peace. Walk west to the corner and open the right wardrobe for a ておりのケープ: Handwoven Cape), and the left for a 薬草: yakusou (Medical Herb). Head directly south and rotate the camera to find more wardrobes. Open the right one for a 銀のトレイ: ぎんのトレイ (Silver Tray). Leave the room the way you came and continue east, then north to the stairs. 4F-It's dark here. Wait for the lightning, and make your way south to the stairs. 3F-As you enter, you'll see someone move to the southwest, so follow them. You'll be on a catwalk; continue west through the door. You'll see the person walking north again, so continue following north and through the small blue door. Outside-Talk to Eric. He'll pretty much say what Sophia said: they can't rest until the ghosts are driven out. He'll ask you to defeat their boss. Say はい: Yes. He'll mention that the boss ghost is on level 4, in the throne room, before asking if you passed through a dark floor on the way there and saying that you need to pass through the door there. Go back inside. 3F-As you enter, the king will float by saying that you won't be able to see anything, so you should grab the torch from the kitchen first. Walk towards him and down the stairs. 2F-Walk forward and enter the door that opens. Walk across the catwalk through the door. The man wandering here will mention the increase in monster activity in the world, and wonder if the demon king ミルドラース: Mildrath has returned. Head downstairs. 1F-Head south and enter the door that opens to the west. Now you are in the main hall of the castle. Head south through the door, and open the door beyond it. Now you can enter through the front door! Return to the main hall and enter the door to the west. The small door to the north has an inn. You can stay for free, but watch out. When you wake up, you'll be outside of the castle. Aren't you glad you opened the front door? Enter the cave near where you wake up, and open the door. Head through the corridor and up the stairs. Open the chests here to find 銀のティーカップ: ぎんのティーカップ (Silver Teacup), 30 gold, and a ちからのたね: Strength Seed. Return to the room with the inn and head down the stairs. B1-Head around to the eastern side of the kitchen and break the pots to find a 薬草: やくそう (Medical Herb) and the たいまつ: Torch! Head back upstairs. 1F-Head east through two sets of doors, then north up the stairs. 2F-Enter the door to the west, cross the catwalk, enter another door, then go up the stairs to the south. 3F-Go north and head up another set of stairs. 4F-Use the たいまつ: Torch here, and head south, east and north into the throne room. Speak to the enemy here. He'll thank you for coming, and ask if you'd like to come to dinner. You have to say はい: Yes. He'll say that you'll be the main course, and drops you onto the plate in the kitchen! You'll then be raised to the main hall and be forced to fight three おばけキャンドル: Demon Candle. When the fight's over, head back up to the throne room. You might want to rest at the inn first; there's a boss fight coming up. Back on 4F, head towards the throne room, and you'll see the enemy from before walk outside. Heal up, give Bianca some Medical Herbs if you'd like to be safe and follow him outside. Talk to him for a fight. --BOSS----------------------------------------------------------------------- おやぶんゴースト: Boss Ghost -HP: 200 / MP: 40 -Casts メラ: Frizz, ギラ: Sizz, and ルカニ: Sap -My level: 7 The boss will always attack on odd-numbered turns, and use one of his abilities (either Blaze, Fireball or Sap) on even numbered turns. At the start, have Bianca cast ルカナン: Kasap, and then マヌーサ: Dazzle on the next turn. After that, she can use her メラ: Frizz spell to do some damage, or use herbs to heal. Just have the hero attack, and use ホイミ: Heal if necessary and you should come out on top. If you can't seem to do enough damage, cast Defense again. Remember, it's only half as powerful as Sap. You'll receive 300 experience points and 180 gold for winning. ----------------------------------------------------------------------/BOSS-- After the battle, the boss ghost will agree to leave, and mentions that once he's gone, the rest of the ghosts are sure to clear out as well. Then he will ask for forgiveness. Once again, you have to say はい: Yes. Afterwards, the king and queen will bring you up to the roof and thank you for getting rid of the ghosts. They'll say goodbye, and depart to their eternal rest. Bianca will notice a shining orb on the ground, and you'll receive the ゴールドオーブ: Gold Orb. That's almost all there is for this place; there's just two more items to get. Return to 4F and fall down the hole in the eastern hallway to find two more chests. The right one has a キメラのつばさ: Chimera Wing, and the left has a 銀のポット: ぎんのポット (Silver Pot). If you collected the Silver Tray and the Silver Teacup, you'll receive a message saying that you've completed the 銀のティーセット: ぎんのティーセット (Silver Teaset) and you'll receive said item in place of the individual three. This is your first 名産品: Regional Specialty Product; it's not useful at this point in the game, so save it for later. Go ahead and leave Lenoire and head back to Alcapa and see if you can't free that baby panther! Back in town, you'll learn that tales of your heroic deeds have spread through the town like wildfire. The next morning, you'll confront the two bullies and they'll agree to leave the poor baby panther alone and he'll come along with you. If you'd like to keep what Bianca has equipped, you should unequip it from her now before you head back towards the inn. As you walk away, Bianca will stop you and say that you should give a name to the panther. She'll suggest ボロンゴ: Borongo, and you can accept that one, or say いいえ: No to see more preset names. You now get 10 name choices for the panther in this version of the game, over the original 4. The name choices are: ボロンゴ: Borongo, プックル: Puckle, アンドレ: Andre, チロル: Chirol, リンクス: Lynx, ゲレゲレ: Gere-gere, モモ: Momo, ソロ: Soro, ビビンバ: Bibinba, and ギコギコ: Giko-giko. Choose whichever you like best (I choose Borongo, and that's how I'll refer to him in this guide), and then continue to the inn. If you'd like, you can buy a きのぼうし: Wooden Hat for Borongo before leaving town. Speak with Papas out front, who is apparently all better now. He'll say that you should be returning back to Santa Rose, and ask if you're ready to leave. Say はい: Yes. As you start off, Bianca calls your name and then gives you ビアンカのリボン: Bianca's Ribbon to remember her by, and decides to put it on Borongo. As you walk out, Papas will stop and mention that he heard about the ghosts, and that he's proud of you, but you're still a child and shouldn't work so hard. Say はい: Yes, and you'll head back to Santa Rose. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | II-C - A magical world | +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | My level: 7 | +-------------+ After returning to town and having a nice rest, head downstairs. If you talk to Sancho, you'll learn that his cutting board is missing. Head outside. If you talk to more people, you'll learn that more than just Sancho's cutting board is missing; people all over town are missing things! Near the church, you will spot a man in purple. Speak to him, and he'll ask if he can have a look at your gold orb. Go ahead and say はい: Yes, and he'll take a look and give it right back. He'll also tell you to take good care of your father, whatever that means. Now it's time to figure out where all of the missing items have gone, so head into the tavern, which is in the basement of the inn. If you look closely, you'll see a ghostly figure standing on the counter. Talk to her, and she'll ask if you can really see her, and mentions that she needs your help but that you shouldn't talk about it here. She wants to meet someplace quiet, somewhere with a basement. Well, there's only one house in town with a basement, so head back to Sancho's place. Downstairs, the girl will say that she's an elf named ベラ: Bella. She's come to this world seeking help because her world is in danger, but nobody could see her until you came along. Papas will come downstairs and wonder what the voices were, and then says that you should play someplace warmer. He'll go back upstairs, and Bella will ask you for your help and then makes a stairway of light appear. I guess we're being forced into this, so head on up the stairs! .-------------------------------------------------------------------------. | II-C.1 - 妖精の村: Fairy Village Lv. 7 | +=========================================================================+ | Services | | Church | | Inn: 4G per person | | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Armor Shop | | ただのめのきれ: Piece of Cloth 25G | | かわのよろい: Leather Armor 180G | | かわのこしまき: Leather Loincloth 220G | | うろこのよろい: Scale Armor 350G | | せいどうのたて: Bronze Shield 370G | | かがわのフード: Fur Hood 400G | | General Store | | いしのキバ: Stone Fang 240G | | どうのつるぎ: Copper Sword 270G | | ブーメラン: Boomerang 420G | | やくそう: Medical Herb 8G | | どくけしそう: Antidote Herb 10G | | キメラのつばさ: Chimera Wing 25G | +=========================================================================+ Bella will be happy you came, and take you to see ポワンさま: Lady Powan. You'll be introduced, and Lady Powan will remark at what a cute little warrior Bella's brought. You're welcomed to 妖精の村: Fairy Village, and Powan formally asks if you could take care of their problem. Say はい: Yes, and you'll learn that someone has stolen the 春風のフルート: Springtide Flute, and without the flute, she cannot bring spring back into the world. She'll ask if you'll retrieve the flute, so say はい: Yes and Bella will accompany you. Head down the stairs and outside. Around town, you'll hear that 氷の館: Mansion of Ice is where the suspect is holed up, but that it's locked, but that the dwarves may be able to help with that. Unfortunately, rumors say that one dwarf who may be able to help was kicked out of town. Walk directly south from the queen's tree to the bit of land that's between two little ponds, and search a little to the right of the northern part for an 命の木の実: いのちのきのみ (Life Nut). Inside the inn, the dwarf in the back acts as a general store. The only thing I usually buy here is a いしのキバ: Stone Fang for Borongo. Leave the inn. The armor shop is on the east side of town. Inside, check the wardrobe for a 聖水: せいすい (Holy Water). Here, I usually buy かわのこしまき: Leather Loincloth for Borongo, and if I can afford it, うろこのよろい: Scale Armor for the hero. When you're done shopping, or if you just want to get some money to make some purchases, head out of town to the south. Monsters in the area -------------------- #008 ガップリン: Gapplin #010 バブルスライム: Bubble Slime #013 つちわらし: Earth Child #016 マッドプラント: Mad Plant #018 まほうつかい: Magician #019 サボテンボール: Cactus Ball #030 ホイミスライム: Heal Slime Your next destination, the home of the dwarves, is directly to the west. I do recommend fighting around a little if you couldn't afford armor for the hero, though, as the next part can be a little rough if you don't. Bella is automatically controlled in battle, much like Papas. She'll usually just attack, and cast heal when necessary, but she's also capable of casting ルカナン: Kasap. Also, Borongo will not always obey your commands in battle. He is considered a monster ally, and they will not reliably obey your commands until their intelligence is around 20. When you're ready, head west and enter the cave you see there. +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | II-C.2 - ドワーフの洞くつ: Dwarf's Cave | +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | My level: 8 | +-------------+ Monsters in the area -------------------- #005 おおきづち: Large Hammer #008 ガップリン: Gapplin #013 つちわらし: Earth Child #014 メラリザード: Frizz Lizard #017 スピニー: Spiny #020 ラーバキング: Larva King #022 スカンカー: Skunker #021 ナイトウイプス: Night Whips B1-Head south from the entrance until you see a sign, then head west. You'll see two chests to the north, so open them for 100 gold and 25 gold. Head out of the room, and continue south. Enter the room you see and talk to the dwarf. He'll mention that ザイル: zairu (Zaile) stole the flute, and the dwarves were kicked out of town for trying to retaliate. He'll then say that he wants you to have the カギの技法: Technique of the Key, which may be able to help you in your pursuit of Zaile. Head out of the room and continue south to the stairs, ignoring the path to the east. B2-Ignore the stairs going down, and walk north through a tiny opening. Take the right path and continue east, when you're able, to some stairs. B3-Head east and just a tiny bit south to find a chest with a すばやさのたね: Agility Seed. Head back west a little, south, and then east to some stairs. B4-Head north to a chest, which contains the カギの技法: Technique of the Key! Head back south and open the blue door. Open the chest you see for 120 gold, then move south to another chest which contains a 命の木の実: いのちのきのみ (Life Nut). You're done here, so head back up and out of the cave. Now you have the key technique and can unlock the door to 氷の館: Mansion of Ice, but you should probably head back to to Fairy Village and rest at the inn, save, and maybe buy another piece of equipment for the hero. Sometimes, I buy a かがわのフード: Fur Hood for him now. If you do stay at the inn, you'll wake up in Sancho's house. Simply go back to the basement and go up the stairs again to return to the fairy world. When you're ready to continue, head northwest from Fairy Village and enter 氷の館: Mansion of Ice. +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | II-C.3 - 氷の館: Mansion of Ice | +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | My level: 9 | +-------------+ Monsters in the area -------------------- #018 まほうつかい: Magician #024 ドラキーマ: Drakeema #028 アルミラージ: Almiraj #029 カパーラナーガ: Capala Naga BOSS ザイル: Zaile BOSS ゆきのじょおう: Snow Queen Outside-Before entering the door, head off to the left to find a かしこさのたね: Intelligence Seed, then head back to the door. You'll use the Technique of the Key, and the door will open. 1F-Walk forward, and you're forced to fall down the hole. Make your way back to the stairs and head up. The following directions assume you press the direction and wait until you stop moving to press another direction. Go south, west, north, west, and then south to the stairs. B1-Head north, west, and make your way to the chest in the corner to find 5 gold. Then go south, east, north to the chest in the other corner to find that it's empty. Oh well. Head west, south, west to the last chest to find a キメラのつばさ: Chimera Wing. Go back to the stairs. 1F-Head north, east, south, east, south to fall down the hole (it's easier this way), then make your way back up to 1F again. Go south, south, east, west, north, then east to the stairs. 2F-Go west, south, west, south, west, north, west, south, east, and north to the man. Heal up, and talk to him. You'll find that this is ザイル: Zaile, and he figures Powan sent you to recover the flute, but he's angry at her for banishing his grandfather from the village; you'll have to go through him first! --BOSS----------------------------------------------------------------------- ザイル: Zaile -HP: 140 -Casts マホトラ: Drain magic and ホイミ: Heal -My level: 9 Zaile is not very difficult. Hopefully, Bella will cast ルカナン: Kasap which will make it even easier. You'll receive 105 experience points and 50 gold for winning. He'll also drop a まほうのせいすい: Magic Holy Water. ----------------------------------------------------------------------/BOSS-- After the battle, you will tell Zaile that Powan didn't exile his grandfather from the village. He'll claim that the 雪の女王: Snow Queen said she did, and then the Snow Queen appears and is certainly not happy with Zaile's performance, so she will take care of you herself. --BOSS----------------------------------------------------------------------- ゆきのじょおう: Snow Queen -HP: 550 -Casts こおりつく:Ice Breath, ヒャド: Crack, ホイミ: hoimi (Heal), and takes a deep breath (おおきく　いきを　すいこんだ) (2x attack on next turn) -My level: 9 Unlike Zaile, the Snow Queen can put up quite a fight! Her こおりつく: Ice Breath will do 13~16 damage to the hero and Borongo (and about 5 to Bella), and after using taking a deep breath, if she attacks, she will do twice as much damage. She does have a pattern, sort of. She will attack or use こおりつく: Ice Breath, then attack or cast ヒャド: Crack, and then cast ホイミ: Heal or take a deep breath, which doubles her attack power for the next round. It's wise to have any character with low HP defend after she does this. She has the ability to kill Bella outright if she hits her after using it. Hopefully, Bella will cast ルカナン: Kasap, as it's quite effective here. Other than that, just have the hero and Borongo attack, and have the hero heal when Bella isn't picking up the slack. You'll receive 650 experience points and 200 gold for winning. She can also drop a キメラのつばさ: Chimera Wing. ----------------------------------------------------------------------/BOSS-- After the battle, she'll explode and Zaile will exclaim that the Ice Queen was evil after all. He'll lament about being tricked and apologize, then run off before he's scolded by his grandfather. He'll also mention that the flute is in the chest there. Go ahead and open the chests to find a ブーメラン: bu-meran (Boomerang) and the 春風のフルート: はるかぜのフルート (Springtide Flute). It's time to head back to Fairy Village! Head on up to Lady Powan's throne and speak with her. She'll thank you for retrieving the flute, saying that now she can bring spring back into the world. She then promises you that, if when you are all grown up and run into trouble, she will do her best to help you. Bella also says her goodbyes, and gives you one 木の枝: きのえだ (Tree Branch), saying that the branch is frozen now, but wait until spring! Powan then plays the Springtide Flute and brings spring into the world once again. Then you leave the fairy world and arrive back in Sancho's basement. If you check your inventory, you'll see that サクラのひとえだ: Cherry Tree Branch has been added to your inventory. This is yet another Regional Specialty item, so just throw it into your bag, and then head up the stairs. As you emerge from the basement, Sancho will wonder where you've been, as Papas has been summoned to ラインハット: Reinhart, but you were not around! If you hurry, you might catch up with him... so let's go! On your way out, Sancho will remark at the beautiful branch sticking out of your pocket, and asks if you want him to decorate your room with it. If you say yes, you can get it back by checking the table in your room. It's pretty to see it on the table, but you'll need it later, so make sure you get it back after you have him display it. The first thing you should do before going after Papas is save, so head to the church. Inside, you'll find Papas. He'll tell you to confess to the priest, and meet him at the village gates when you're ready, so do that. After talking to Papas, you'll depart for Reinhart. +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | II-D - A bratty prince and a tragic loss | +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | My level: 10 | +--------------+ After leaving Santa Rose, you'll come across a small shrine. Papas will speak to the guard, and inform him that he's received a summons from the king of Reinhart. The guard then recognizes Papas and lets him through immediately. After passing through, Papas will mention that you've passed under the river, and lets you on his shoulders to give you a look. After talking to the old man, Papas will turn around and lead you back... downstairs? This scene is actually funnier in the SFC version of the game, because the stairs are placed just behind you, and Papas accidentally walks over them on the way out. :) .-------------------------------------------------------------------------. | II-D.1 - ラインハット城: Reinhart Castle Lv. 10 | +=========================================================================+ | Services | | Church | | Inn: 6G per person | | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Armor Shop (Walking merchant) | | けがわのマント: Fur Mantle 550G | | せいどうのよろい: Bronze Armor 700G | | てつのよろい: Iron Armor 1200G | | てつのたて: Iron Shield 720G | | けがわのフード: Fur Hood 400G | | てつかぶと: Iron Helmet 1100G | | Weapon Shop | | どうのつるぎ: Copper Sword 270G | | ブーメラン: Boomerang 420G | | てつのつえ: Iron Staff 850G | | チェーンクロス: Chain Cross 1200G | | いしのキバ: Stone Fang 240G | | てつのツメ: Iron Claw 550G | | Item Shop | | やくそう: Medical Herb 8G | | どくけしそう: Antidote Herb 10G | | せいすい:Holy Water 20G | | キメラのつばさ: Chimera Wing 25G | | まんげつそう: Full Moon Herb 30G | | においぶくろ: Sachet 80G | +=========================================================================+ Upon entering, Papas will enter the castle and tell the guards that he has received a summons, and you are then led to the throne room. The king will ask to speak to Papas alone, so you're allowed to wander about the castle. Around the castle, you'll hear about what a brat prince ヘンリ: Henry is, and how worried people are about him inheriting the throne. If you speak to the green-haired boy, you'll learn that he's prince Henry. He'll ask if you want to be his follower. You have to say はい: Yes. He'll then laugh, and say that he'd never allow someone like you the honor of being under him! You'll also find the queen and her son デール: Dale in one of the rooms. It seems that she has some plans for her own son, as far as the throne is concerned. If you keep talking to people, you'll also learn that she's been meeting with some rather suspicious characters, too. The left dresser in the room by the priest has some ふしぎな木の実: ふしぎなきのみ (Mysterious Nuts) in it. Once you've spoken to the queen, Dale, Henry and the guards on the second floor (accessed by the stairs near the priest), return to the throne room to see that Papas is no longer there. Speak with the king to learn that he's asked the great Papas to babysit his son, prince Henry... so head back down towards Henry's room, where you'll find Papas. He's not very happy about his new job, either, but he and the king are old friends, so he couldn't just say no. He asks you if you'll make friends with Henry and play with him, to make his life easier. Go speak to Henry, and he'll ask you the same question he asked before, so say yes again. This time, he'll agree and send you to the room to the south to acquire the 子分のしるし: Follower's Seal. When you go to open the chest, it's empty... so go back to Henry, who is apparently gone! Run and tell Papas about it, and he'll rush to check on Henry. When you arrive in the room, Henry is back again... what's going on? Confront him, and he'll say that he was here the whole time and then ask you if you still want to be his follower. Repeat the whole process, but this time check the floor where Henry was standing to find a secret passage. Go down. Henry will be upset that you already found him. Before he can say anything more, two men barge in and kidnap him! Follow them, and you'll see them get on a raft and head out of town. We must tell Papas! Head back inside the castle and tell Papas what transpired, then he'll rush out the same path you took, then straight out of town, leaving his poor child and his baby panther all alone. Some father! Before leaving, it's advisable to buy some new equipment and restock your items. Usually, all I bother with is a てつのたて: Iron Shield for the hero. てつかぶと: Iron Helmet is a good buy, as well, if you can afford it. I generally just don't bother, because the coming dungeon isn't that hard. When you're ready, leave town.

The baby newts here can cast ギラ: Sizz, which can be pretty painful. Make sure you have some herbs, as the hero's MP will not likely last for the entire dungeon. Head north, and enter the door. You'll be able to see Papas fighting some monsters in the northeast corner. You can't get down there yet, so head east and follow the path. At the intersection, continue east, and then south. Go down the stairs here, and head north through the doorway to a chest which has 180 gold in it. Head back to the stairs you just took, go up and then north and east over the 'bridge'. Open the chest nearby when you come down for a どくけし草: どくけしそう (Antidote Herb), then continue north through the doorway. You can enter the wooden door here, if you'd like. There are just some thieves lounging around. Go north past the doorway, and follow the path around. Eventually, you'll see a chest, so open it for a ちからのたね: Strength Seed, then continue west, up the stairs, and north through the door. Then, go west down the stairs and south through the door. Follow the path, and you'll end up where Papas is fighting the monsters. You'll witness Papas dispatching the enemies with ease. After the fight, Papas will apologize for leaving you behind, he "thought you were right behind him the whole time." Some father! He'll join, and urge you to go find the prince. Walk north and step on the plate to open the hidden door, and head through it. While Papas is in your group, battles are a breeze. Let's take advantage of it by clearing out the rest of the treasure. Nearby, you'll see a raft, so get on it and move southwest, and south through a little stretch of water to the west. Dock here and open the chest to find a まもののエサ: Monster Bait. Get back on the raft and go back through the narrow strait continuing north, while following the path. To the north, you'll see another chest. Open it for エルフののみぐすり: Elfin Elixir. Continue following the path until it opens up to the north, then go north. You'll be in the dungeon, and Papas will walk up to the cell that Henry's in. It's locked, so Papas uses his enormous strength to rip the door right off its hinges! Henry, being the brat he is, isn't thankful at all. He throws a fit because you took so long to rescue him. Papas gives him a good slap and tells him to think about his father's feelings. He then tells him to hurry up before the pursuers catch up. Sure enough, they do, so Papas tells you to hurry out of the ruins with Henry while he holds them off. Get back ont he raft and go south. Head back towards the chest where you found the monster bait and get off of the raft and go through the door nearby. Head south towards the entrance... and you'll be cut off by someone named ゲマ: Gema. He'll say that he can't have two children getting away from him, and starts to fight you. You CANNOT win this fight, so don't even bother trying. After you lose, Papas will come rushing in and notice your bodies. Gema will be unhappy about Papas disposing of his subordinates, and Papas will say he knows he's seen Gema somewhere before... Gema will then call his cronies ジャミ: Jami and ゴンズ: Gonz, and a battle will ensue. Afterwards, Gema will threaten to take the hero's life if Papas continues to fight back. Jami and Gonz proceed to beat Papas to a pulp... Papas will shout out to the hero "Your mother yet lives! Find her!" before Gema launches a fireball towards Papas and ends his life... :( Gema will remark at the touching scene, and assure the fallen Papas that his son will live a life serving his master. He will then order Gonz and Jami to pick up the children, and they ask about Borongo. Gema says to leave him, and that he'll get his killer instincts back after living in the wild. Gema then notices the gold orb that Ness has... wondering if it's "that" orb... and then crushes it into dust. The group will teleport away, leaving poor Borongo to fend for himself. :( "Thus, --having just lost his father, and prince Henry were carried to a foreign place. 'Your mother yet lives!': these words are all that could think about during his life as a slave. 10 years have passed..." You're now asked whether you want to save (冒険の書に　きろくする。) or continue playing (物語のつづきを　プレイする。) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | II-E - The great escape | +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | My level: 11 | +--------------+ 10 years have passed since that fateful encounter. Your hero is now a young man, forced to work to build a glorious temple. When you gain control, you might notice that you only have 1 HP, and all of your equipment is missing. You'll be in front of a boulder, which you can choose to push to the left, or not. Head to the right, up the slope and into the cave. From there, take either set of stairs to reach the top. Head around to the south and speak with Henry (the only one with green hair). He scolds you for 'slacking off,' and then realizes that it's been a whole 10 years, then apologizes about what happened to Papas. He also doesn't seem too enthused about getting out of here, since his brother デール: Dale now rules Reinhart. Find some stairs to the west, and head down them. Speak to the knight you see, and he'll seem conflicted about his duties, since his sister マリア: Maria has been forced into slavery herself. Head back upstairs and it will be sunset. Time to clock out. You'll wake up in a dormatory (if you can call it that) to Henry wondering if you had a bad dream. Talk around to the prisoners. The woman on the right is Maria, who laments about being a former member of the 光の教団: Order of Light), then being thrown into slavery after breaking an artifact belonging to the high priest. Speak with everyone, and then head towards the door in the south. Back to work! Head back to where you began, to the area with the boulders. The taskmasters will be flogging Maria, so we'll just have to stop them! Speak with Henry, and then to the taskmaster on the right to intitiate a battle with two ムチのおとこ: Whip Man). You don't have any weapons or armor, but this fight still isn't very difficult. Remember, you still have access to your spells. You may want to begin the fight by casting スカラ: Buff on the hero, and then just go to town. After the battle, you'll be thrown into the slammer. Speak with Henry a few times, and you'll see Maria and her brother approach your cell and open the door. Maria thanks you, and Maria's brother, ジョシュア: Joshua will help you escape. Hooray! Walk over to the barrel to begin your journey. Eventually, your barrel will makes its way to a convent by the sea. .-------------------------------------------------------------------------. | II-E.1 - 海辺の修道院: Seaside Convent Lv. 11 | +=========================================================================+ | Services | | Church | | Inn: Free | | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- | | No shops | +=========================================================================+ When you wake up, a nun will greet you, saying you've been unconcious for 5 whole days. Get up and leave the room, and you'll find Henry. Apparently, Maria's decided to become a nun and live here at the convent. Boo! When you regain control, head south but head left before going through the exit door. Speak with the nun at the table to receive the 木ぼりの女神像: きぼりのめがみぞう (Wooden Goddess Statue). This is another regional specialty, but unlike the previous ones, you can equip this one to give yourself a boost in your luck stat. Since I don't have an accessory equipped at this point, I usually equip it for the heck of it. Head out of this room and to the room on the right, rotate the camera and head up the stairs to speak with Maria. She'll give you the 1000 gold from her brother, since she won't need it any longer. Head outside. Henry will be waiting at the exit, and he'll tell you to let him know when you want to leave. Speak with him again, and say はい: Yes and he'll go let everyone know you're leaving. After a farewell scene, Henry will join your party, you'll be on your way.

That seems to be this town's main attraction, but that's not the only reason why we're here. Let's get some free stuff, first, though. Head into the inn on your left, and go upstairs. In the room below the one with the man in it, the left dresser has a すごろく券: すごろくけん (Sugoroku Ticket). Head back outside, and head to the house in the far northeast of of town, with a well next to it. Open the dresser inside for a 薬草: やくそう (Medical Herb). Go ahead and enter the casino, now. Head to the dressing room in the back and open the wardrobes for a きめのローブ: Silk Robe and a 銀のかみかざり: ぎんのかみかざり (Silver Barrette). The woman at the left counter will allow you to exchange gold for coins, and the woman at the right counter will let you exchange your coins for prizes. The list of prizes is as follows: エルフののみぐすり: Elfin Elixir 300 coins せかいじゅのは: Yggdrasil Leaf 1000 coins メガンテのうでわ: Megante Armlet 5000 coins キラーピアス: Killer Pierce 10000 coins メタルキングのけん: Metal King Sword 50000 coins グリンガムのムチ: Gringham Whip 250000 coins -- TODO: Casino strategies ---------------------------------------------- If you take the stairs on the left, you'll enter a room not present in the original version of the game. This is the first sugoroku board. You should have a few sugoroku tickets by now. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sugoroku is a pretty simple game: you roll the dice, and move along the board similar to a game of chutes and ladders, with your ultimate goal being, well, the goal at the end, where you will claim some prizes. There are also some items strewn about the board itself, hidden on pot/dresser/barrel squares. The items hidden on this board are: かしこさのたね: Intelligence Seed, 毛皮のマント: けがわのマント (Fur Mantle), すごろく券: すごろくけん (Sugoroku Ticket), and ブーメラン: Boomerang. There's also an item shop hidden on this board, which has the following wares: やくそう: Medical Herb 8G どくけしそう: Antidote Herb 10G ばくだんいし: Bomb Rock 450G ファイトいっぱつ: 600G If you reach the goal, you'll find 小さなメダル: Small Medal #001, and a やいばのブーメラン: Blade Boomerang. I strongly suggest at least trying to make it to the goal, as both of the items are must-haves at this point. When you begin the game, you'll receive a menu like this: +--------------------------------+ | あと 10かい (Turns left: 10) | |--------------------------------| | サイコロをふる (Roll Dice) | | マップをみる (View Map) | | つよさをみる (View Status) | | やめる (Stop) | +--------------------------------+ Just choose the first option to begin rolling the dice, and then move once your roll has been completed. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Once you've finished with the casino (and hopefully gotten the medal and the blade boomerang, which I equip to the hero), head over to the western side of town. You should see some stairs going down, so take them. Break the pots here for a まもののエサ: Monster Bait and an おなべのふた: Pot Lid, and then speak with the old man. He introduces himself as モンスターじいさん: Monster Gramps and basically says that he thinks you have a strong heart, and could tame any beast. Before you can tame beasts, though, you need a wagon... so let's get that taken care of. Leave here, and head out of town. Walk around and fight things until nighttime, and then re-enter the town. Head to the northwest, past Monster Gramps's place and the bank, following the outside wall. You'll come to a small isolated house, so enter. The man here says he'll sell you a wagon. Normally, he sells it for 3000 gold, but... you can have it for 300. What a deal! Get it. Now that we have the wagon, we can start recruiting monsters. The way monster recruitment works in DQ5 is very simple: certain kinds of monsters have a chance to approach you after battle, asking to join. You can either choose to accept, or decline. There's no real downside to letting every monster join, because Monster Gramps can take care of any monster you don't want to have in your wagon. In this guide, I'll only mention the monsters that I like to recruit, or that I think are good. Feel free to recruit whomever you wish, though! Before leaving town, make sure Henry has some decent equipment. You should have a few things in your bag that he can use, if you didn't sell it. If you don't have much for him, you may want to buy a suit of chain mail for him now, though there is some free armor coming up pretty soon. I also go ahead and buy a chain cross for him, here. Monsters in the area -------------------- #001 スライム: Slime * #033 ベビーニュート: Baby Newt #042 ガスミンク: Gas Mink #038 わらいぶくろ: Laughing Bag #039 ブラウニー: Brownie * If you feel that Henry is taking a beating, you may want to place him into the wagon for a bit until he gets some levels. If your wagon is with you, members in it may gain experience. In order to reorder your party/wagon, go to さくせん: Strategy and select ならびかえ: Order. The first monster I try to recruit is a slime. They can be found around Oracleberry. After recruiting the slime (named スラりん: Slalin), give him your old boomerang (or, if you got one, a metal king sword). Then head into town and buy him a set of スライムのふく: Slime Clothes. Go ahead and buy a くさりがま: kusarigama (Chain Sickle) and a せいどうのよろい: Bronze Armor and put them into the bag until you get your next monster. Next is slime knight. Leave town and head north across the bridge, and then as far east as you can. You're in the right place when there's a canal and some brown mountains on the other side of the canal to your north. Monsters in the area -------------------- #027 がいこつへい: Skeleton Soldier #037 スライムナイト: Slime Knight * #041 ばくだんベビー: Bomb Baby * #044 ピッキ: Picky #045 おばけきのこ: Demon Mushroom * #048 アウルベアー: Owl Bear #049 イエティ: Yeti * #053 ドラゴンキッズ: Dragon Kid * Fight around here until you recruit a スライムナイト: Slime Knight (named ピエール: Pierre). The stuff around here is a bit difficult, but it's not too bad, and it's a wonderful opportunity to catch Henry and Slalin up. Once you finally recruit one, put the chain sickle and bronze armor on him. I use these two monsters for the majority of the game. Slimes have really great stat growth, and no level cap. Slime knights are very strong fighters, and can cast healing spells as well, making them invaluable. +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | II-E.3 - Getting back on track | +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | My level: 12 | +--------------+ Now that we have our party together, it's time to get back on track. From Oracleberry, head north across the bridge and continue northwest. Eventually, you'll come to Santa Rose. When you enter, you'll see that the entire town is in ruins. If you speak with the nun in the inn, she'll tell you that the destruction was the queen of Reinhart's doing. She blamed Papas for Henry's disappearance, and torched the town. She'll then ask if you're really Papas's son, so say はい: yes. Head to the house to the left of the inn, and break the pot for a かしこさのたね: Intelligence Seed, then head through and speak with the old man. He'll mention that Papas had something valuable, deep within the cave. Get on the raft, and head in. +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | II-E.4 - サンタローズの洞くつ: Santa Rose Cave | +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | My level: 12 | +--------------+ Monsters in the area -------------------- #001 スライム: Slime * #027 がいこつへい: Skeleton Soldier #028 アルミラージ: Almiraj #035 どぐうせんし: Clay Soldier #039 ブラウニー: Brownie * #048 アウルベアー: Owl Bear #043 メタルスライム: Metal Slime * #047 くさったしたい: Rotting Corpse * #046 ともしびこぞう #051 ガメゴン: Gamegon You may encounter metal slimes, here... but you'll be lucky if you manage to kill one without many means to do so. Watch out for the gamegons, too - they have high physical defense. Magic works well on them. 1F-Follow the water north to an island with stairs, and take the stairs. B1-Take the stairs before you. B2-Head north, and left at the T intersection. You should see a chest to the northeast, so get the 850G from it, and then head west. Head north at the next intersection and take the stairs going down. B3-Follow the path until you come to an intersection. You'll see two chests to the north. Open them to get a すばやさのたね: Agility Seed and a 鉄のむねあて: てつのむねあて (Iron Breastplate). This is the free armor I mentioned before. Equip it on Henry, then head back to the stairs at the intersection. B2-This floor contains a weird floor puzzle. Wherever you step on this floor will become walkable on the floor below. It's easiest to just walk over all of the floor, then take the stairs to the north. B3-Head south and open the chest for the やみのランプ: Lamp of Darkness. This will turn day into night! Head down the stairs to the right. B4-Follow the path, skipping the southern path with all of the columns, instead continuing to the left. then turning south, and taking the first right path. Then just walk south, taking either the left or right path to find some stairs. B5-It looks like someone's spent quite a bit of time down here. Open the wardrobe on the right side for a 皮のこしまき: かわのこしまき (Leather Loincloth) and break the pot for a ちからのたね: chikara no tane (Strength Seed). Walk up to the sword and you'll receive the 天空のつるぎ: てんくうのつるぎ (Celestial Sword). Unfortunately, the hero can't use this. Oh well. Open the chest to receive パパスの手紙: パパスのてがみ (Papas's Letter). In the letter, Papas says that your mother isn't dead, she's been taken to the demon world. He asks you to find the rest of the Celestial equipment, and the legendary warrior who can wield it and then save her! Head out of the cave, now. If you speak with the nun at the church again, she'll ask if you're really going to search for the legendary equipment. Say yes, and she'll mention that we may be able to find something in Alcapa, and that the hero must be wanting to catch up with Bianca after all this time. Looks like we have a new destination! Head out of town, and then west over to Alcapa. .-------------------------------------------------------------------------. | II-E.5 - アルカパの町: Alcapa Town Lv. 13 | +=========================================================================+ | Services | | Church | | Inn: Yes - 3G per person | | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Weapon Shop | | おおきづち: Big Hammer 220G | | てつのツメ: Iron Claw 550G | | くさりがま: Chain Sickle 900G | | チェーンクロス: Chain Cross 1200G | | やいばのブーメラン: Blade Boomerang 1500G | | くだものナイフ: Fruit Knife 50G | | Armor Shop | | せいどうのよろい: Bronze Armor 700G | | てつのよろい: Iron Armor 1200G | | うろこのたて: Scale Shield 180G | | てつのたて: Iron Armor 720G | | きのぼうし: Wooden Hat 120G | | てつかぶと: Iron Helm 1100G | | Item Shop | | やくそう: Medical Herb 8G | | どくけしそう: Antidote Herb 10G | | せいすい: Holy Water 20G | | キメラのつばさ: Chimera Wing 25G | | あなべのふた: Pot Lid 40G | | めののふく: Plain Clothes 30G | +=========================================================================+ The first thing to do here is to get some equipment. There isn't very much new stuff, but buy a てつのたて: Iron Shield for Pierre, and a やいばのブーメラン: Blade Boomerang for Slalin if you haven't already. Now, use the やみのランプ: Lamp of Darkness and it will be nighttime. Head to the northwestern corner, into the bar. Speak with the bunny girl here, and say いいえ: iie (No) to her question, and she'll unlock the door. Head through and go down the stairs in the corner. Break the pots here for Small Medal #002, and note the weird-looking door here for later. Head to the inn, and rest. During the night, Henry will wake you up and say that he wants to return to Reinhart and see what's going on. Excellent! When you wake up, stay another night and then speak with the woman in the room behind the innkeeper. First, she'll say that Duncan and his daughter moved to a mountain village by the sea, and then she'll say you've won a prize for staying at this inn two nights in a row! She'll give you the 安眠まくら: あんみんまくら (Soft Pillow), which is another specialty product. Just throw it into the bag, like the others. Now that we have a new destination, leave town, head east past Santa Rose and enter the small shrine. +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | II-F - Return of the king | +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | My level: 13 | +--------------+ At first, the soldier here will not allow you to pass. Henry smacks some sense into him (literally), calling him トム: tomu (Tom). After a brief recollection of Henry's childish antics, the guard lets you through. Head through the pass and you'll see that the old man from before is still here... I wonder if he's moved at all. Exit and head north to Reinhart. .-------------------------------------------------------------------------. | II-F.1 - ラインハット城: Reinhart Castle Lv. 13 | +=========================================================================+ | Services | | Church | | Inn: 8G per person | | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Weapon Shop | | いしのオノ: Stone Axe 700G | | てつのつえ: Iron Staff 850G | | チェーンクロス: Chain Cross 1200G | | はがねのつるぎ: Steel Sword 2000G | | はがねのキバ: Steel Fang 2000G | | どくばり: Poison Needle 2900G | | Item Shop | | やくそう: Medical Herb 8G | | どくけしそう: Antidote Herb 10G | | せいすい: Holy Water 20G | | キメラのつばさ: Chimera Wing 25G | | けいがらぼうし: Shell Hat 150G | | けがわのフード: Fur Hood 400G | +=========================================================================+ Enter the castle. If you walk to the left, Henry will say that he would prefer to remain incognito. The guard in front of the door won't let anyone through, and there are some pretty unsavory characters hanging around upstairs. There isn't much else we can do here, so leave the castle, but head east before crossing the drawbridge and get on the raft on the side. If you entered Reinhart at night, while the drawbridge was up, you would see that there's a pathway underneath the drawbridge. Ride the raft underneath and head inside. +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | II-F.2 - レインハットの洞くつ: Reinhart Dungeon | +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | My level: 13 | +--------------+ Monsters in the area -------------------- #049 イエティ: Yeti * #051 ガメゴン: Gamegon #037 スライムナイト: Slime Knight * #056 インスペクター: Inspector #047 くさったしたい: Rotting Corpse * #052 まどうし: Wizard #027 がいこつへい: Skeleton Soldier #055 クックルー: Kukkle * 1F-Walk up to the platform and step on the switch, and then head into the door that opens. The way to your left is blocked for now, so head right and follow the path to some stairs. B1-Follow the path to the left, skipping the first northern passage and taking the second one. The chest on the left has a はがねのキバ: Steel Fang, and the right has a かいがらぼうし: Shell Hat. Equip the shell hat to Slalin, and put the steel fang into Slalin's inventory for later. Return the way you came and take the path you skipped and follow the path until you see a woman in a cell to your left. She says she's the real queen and admits to having Henry kidnapped 10 years ago, so her son (Dale) could become king. Let her stew for a while, and continue on, taking the right path to some stairs. 1F-Follow the path north, making sure to step on the switch here. Then head up the stairs. You'll be in the castle courtyard. If you speak with any of the dogs, you'll enter a fight with a ドラゴンキッズ: Dragon Kid. It's a regular fight, nothing special about it. Enter the left door, and you'll find yourself in the kitchen. Exit to the left and go up the stairs. Head to the throne room, and speak with the king. You'll see that it's Dale, Henry's brother. Henry whispers to Dale that followers should obey their masters, revealing his identity in the process. After learning that the real queen is in the dungeon, Dale gives you the ラインハットのカギ: Reinhart Key. Go to Henry's room and check the stool to uncover the hidden staircase from before, then open the door to your north to enter the storage room. Break the pot in the far left for Small Medal #003, then check the bookcase on the right. The book mentions a tower that holds a magic mirror. Take the stairs here, and then take the teleporter ahead of you. Exit to the world map, and head south to the tower there. Check the door to find that it's sealed shut. The book mentioned that a pure heart could open the door. We know someone like that! You're actually just south of the seaside convent, which is precisely where we need to go. Head north, cross the bridge, and you'll come to it eventually. Head inside and walk north and speak with the nun by the organ. who will mention that the tower can only be opened by a maiden of god. Maria will interject, saying that she'll go. Eventually, the nun agrees and Maria joins the party as a guest. Head back to the tower, with Maria in tow. +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | II-F.3 - 神の塔: Tower of God | +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | My level: 14 | +--------------+ Monsters in the area -------------------- #027 がいこつへい: Skeleton Soldier #030 ホイミスライム: Heal Slime * #037 スライムナイト: Slime Knight * #038 わらいぶくる: Laughing Bag #043 メタルスライム: Metal Slime * #051 ガメゴン: Gamegon #052 まどうし: Wizard #053 ドラゴンキッズ: Dragon Kid #056 インスペクター: Inspector #054 さんぞくウルフ: Bandit Wolf #057 エンプーサ: Enpusa #058 ビックアイ: Big Eye * #060 エビルプラント: Evil Plant #062 さまようよろい: Wandering Armor * 1F-Walk up to the door, and Maria will pray and the door will open. Head inside and turn east and north to the stairs. 2F-Head south first, to a chest with 650 gold in it. Return north to the stairs and turn west and then south across the thin catwalk to a door and more stairs. Take them. 3F-Turn east and follow the path to more stairs. 4F-Head south and break the pot on the left for a 魔法の聖水: まほうのせいすい (Magic Holywater). Return to the stairs and go back down. 3F-Go south to the stairs, but don't take them. Instead, head north from them a bit and rotate the camera. Notice a thin walkway around the hole. Walk around it carefully to the chests in the north to find an うろこのたて: Scale Shield, and a ふしぎなきのみ: Mysterious Nuts. From here, follow the narrow pathway around the hole to the west until you come to an opening. Go through, and north to the stairs. 4F-Head south and east to more stairs. 5F-Head north to find a gap in the walkway. This part is a bit tricky, so I'll do my best to illustrate how to get across. __ __ __ |__|__|__| |__|__|__| <-- walkway xx xxxxx <-- open space - walk where the Xs are. __ xx __ |__|__|__| |__|__|__| <-- walkway The gist of the drawing is to center yourself on the walkway, and walk forward until you're halfway across, then walk west a little, and then continue north until you've crossed. It's really quite simple, but I hope my crappy drawing has helped a bit. Once you're across, examine the mirror on the pedastal to acquire the ラーの鏡: ラーのかがみ (Mirror of Ra). We're done here, so drop down the holes to get to the bottom, and exit the tower. Head back to the teleporter to the north to be taken back to Reinhart. There's a boss fight coming up, so it's a good idea to rest at the inn in town and save at the church inside the castle. To do this, exit through the side door through which Henry was taken when he was kidnapped. Once you're through, head through the side door again, and exit through the door south of the store room to come to the familiar courtyard. Make your way back to the throne room and take the stairs behind the throne, then enter the bedroom here. Dale will say that he doesn't know which one of these is the real queen. Walk up to the one on the left, and use the ラーのかがみ: Mirror of Ra. It will reveal her for the impostor that she is, and a boss fight will start! --BOSS----------------------------------------------------------------------- ニセたいこう: Impostor Queen -HP: 650 -Can call わらいぶくろ: Laughing Bag or がいこつへい: Skeleton Soldier to help, uses きあいため: Charge Up, かえんの息: Flame Breath -My level: 14 This boss can be a bit difficult. Her flame breath might do 40~60 damage, which hurts a little. Keep Pierre and the hero on standby to heal after she does this. マヌーサ: Dazzle is effective here, so have Henry use it immediately, followed by ルカナン: Kasap. It's also a good idea to equip the はがねのキバ on Slalin for this fight, since single-target weapons can crit, and it's a pretty strong weapon anyway. She does have a pattern, of sorts. She'll either attack or summon a laughing bag, the charge up or use flame breath, and then attack or summon a skeleton soldier. Slalin will take a ton of damage from flame breath, so it's very wise to have him defend on the second turn, and then every 2 turns afterwards. Once you've used dazzle and kasap, just have everyone attack. You shouldn't have too much trouble, as long as you keep everyone's health up above 50 or so. If you do find yourself having trouble, have Slalin use スクルト: Kabuff at the beginning - it will help against her physical attacks. Also, make sure to kill the laughing bags as soon as they appear, as they can cast マホトーン: Fizzle, preventing you from healing. You'll receive 790 experience points and 540 gold for winning. ----------------------------------------------------------------------/BOSS-- Once you win, the impostor queen will fade away and you'll be in the throne room. Dale will want Henry to be king, but Henry won't hear of it. He'll just... help him rule, instead. Thus, Henry will leave the party, and all of his belongings will be magically sent to the bag. Awesome. Go ahead and give his old かわのぼうし: Leather Hat to Pierre, since he doesn't have a helmet (in my game, anyway). If you speak to Henry, he'll say that ships are running once again from ビスタの港: Port Vista. He'll also give you a ふくびき券: ふくびきけん (Lottery Ticket). Looks like we have a new destination. Since Henry left, we'll need a fourth party member. For now, just throw a random monster in - we'll get someone else very soon. Leave Reinhart, and head back through the small shrine. On the other side, head west towards Santa Rose, and start south bit once you've passed it. Eventually, you'll come upon Port Vista (you should remember it from the beginning of the game). Board the ship here, and the captain will say that you almost missed the boat! The boat departs, and a new leg of your journey begins. +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | II-G - Old friends | +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | My level: 15 | +--------------+ Once you arrive, head out of the door to the north. .-------------------------------------------------------------------------. | II-G.1 - ポートセルミ: Port Selmi Lv. 15 | +=========================================================================+ | Services | | Church | | Inn: 8G per person | | Monster Gramps | | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Weapon Shop | | こんぼう: Club 60G | | いしのオノ: Stone Axe 700G | | やいばのブーメラン: Blade Boomerang 1500G | | おおきなづち: Big Hammer 1800G | | はがねのつるぎ: Steel Sword 2000G | | モーニングスター: Morning Star 3000G | | Armor Shop | | てつのむねあて: Iron Breastplate 1000G | | てつのよろい: Iron Armor 1200G | | はがねのよろい: Steel Armor 2300G | | スライムのふく: Slime Clothes 330G | | うろこのたて: Scale Shield 180G | | てつかぶと: Iron Helm 1100G | | Item Shop | | やくそう: Medical Herb 8G | | まんげつそう: Fullmoon Herb 30G | | キメラのつばさ: Chimera Wing 25G | | てんしのすず: Angel's Bell 500G | | カメのこうら: Turtle Shell 2500G | | マジックシールド: Magic Shield 3400G | +=========================================================================+ You'll emerge at Port Selmi, which is a rather nice town. First, head north on the docks and enter the lighthouse. Inside, head upstairs, and up more stairs once you reach a landing. In the room with the dwarf, open the drawers to receive Small Medal #004. Head back down the stairs and out of the lighthouse. If you go south of the pier where you first arrived, you'll come to some stairs, which lead to Monster Gramps. Break the pots down here for a すごろく券: すごろくけん (Sugoroku Ticket), and then head back up. Head west into the town proper. At the item shop, you can buy a few new things. The main thing to note, however, is that this store carries マジックシールド: Magic Shields. They're kind of expensive, but they reduce fire damage. At this point, I just buy one for Slalin. Head left to the church, but don't go inside. Instead, head into the flower bed to the right of it. Throw some of the flowers out of the way, and check the ground in front of the first window to receive Small Medal #005. Head to the flowerbed on the opposite side, and check the ground near the second window (near the back) to receive 100 gold. Inside the church, you can take the stairs behind the priest to find the bank. A weird place for a bank, indeed. Head west from the church to the weapon/armor shop. Head upstairs and check the wardrobe for a pair of ステテコパンツ: Boxer Shorts. The shops here sell all manner of interesting things, but it's all very expensive and mostly unnecessary. The only thing I buy here is a suit of はがねのよろい: Steel Armor for the hero. If you're low on money, check your bag for old equipment you'll never use again. Make sure to hang onto the はがねのキバ: Steel Fang, a てつのむねあて: Iron Breastplate, and a チェーンクロス: Chain Cross for later. Head north of the church and enter the inn, then head over to the east to find two bandits beating on a poor farmer. They want his money, but he says the money belongs to the village. The bandits ask you if you have a problem, so say はい: Yes and a fight with two さんぞくウルフ: Bandit Wolf will begin. You've fought them before; they're very easy. After the battle, the farmer will thank you and beg you to help him. Say はい: Yes, and he will explain that a monster has been rampaging in his village's fields, and they need someone strong to get rid of it. It pays 3000 gold, and he'll give you half now and half when the job is completed. After the conversation, head onto the stage and through the door behind it. Open the wardrobes in the dressing room for a きめのエプロン: Silk Apron. Return to the main area and head up the stairs by the wall on the west side. Break the pot in the first room for 50 gold, then open the wardrobe in the second room for a すごろく券: すごろくけん (Sugoroku Ticket). The old lady at the counter with the innkeeper runs the lottery, where you can use those ふくびき券: ふくびきけん (Lottery Tickets) you've found. -- TODO: Fill in information about the lottery. That's everything here, so it's time to help that poor farmer out. Exit town, and head due south. Eventually you'll come across カボチ村: kabochi mura (Kabochi Village). .-------------------------------------------------------------------------. | II-G.2 - カボチ村: Kabochi Village Lv. 15 | +=========================================================================+ | Services | | Church | | Inn: 8G per person | | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Item Shop | | せいすい: Holy Water 20G | | キメラのつばさ: Chimera Wing 25G | | てつのツメ: Iron Claw 550G | | てつのむねあて: Iron Breastplate 1000G | | てつかぶと: Iron Helm 1100G | | どくばり: Poison Needle 2900G | +=========================================================================+ If it's nighttime when you enter, you'll see a shadowy figure of an animal in the field, but it will run away when it notices you. Stay at the inn until daytime. Head across the bridge to the east and turn south to find a stone slab. Examine it and choose はい: Yes to move it, revealing some stairs. Head down to find a chest with a メガンテのうでわ: Megante Armband. Return to the surface, head north and enter the hut with the pot by it. Break the pots in the corner of the room for a ちからのたね: Strength Seed) and Small Medal #006. Exit the hut and enter the next one to the east. Break the barrels in here for a 皮のぼうし: かわのぼうし (Leather Hat). Enter the item shop in the wall behind this hut. Check the water pail to the left to find Small Medal #007. Now enter the large house to the south. Inside, there will be a village meeting underway. The townspeople don't appear to be happy with what the farmer has done (giving their money to a stranger). When you regain control, head up the stairs in front of you. Open the bottom set of drawers for a すごろく券: すごろくけん (Sugoroku Ticket). Turn around and break the far left pot for Small Medal #008. The center pot behind that one contains a 魔法の聖水: まほうのせいすい (Magic Holywater). Go back downstairs and speak with the elder. He doesn't seem to be unhappy himself, and says that the monster seems to be coming from the west. Exit Kabochi and head west, following the water. +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | II-G.3 - 魔物のすみか: Monster's Den | +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | My level: 15 | +--------------+ Monsters in the area -------------------- #015 ベビーパンサー: Baby Panther #018 まほうつかい: Magician * #043 メタルスライム: Metal Slime * #058 ビックアイ: Big Eye * #060 エビルプラント: Evil Plant #061 メタルライダー: Metal Rider #064 ドロヌーバ: Dronuba * #066 ミステリドール: Mystery Doll * #067 デスパロット: Death Parrot #068 ビッグスロース: Big Sloth #070 デススパーク: Death Spark #071 とつげきへい: Assault Trooper 1F-Head south slightly, and turn east (ignore the first path going south), and take the next path south you see. You'll come across a skeleton on the ground. Check the floor just above him to get Small Medal #009. At this "T" intersection, head west, and then west again at the next "T" to find a chest containing an 石のオノ: いしのオノ (Stone Axe). Return to the second "T" and go east this time to some stairs going down. B1-Head south-ish, being careful not to fall into the holes. You should see a chest to your west, but it's a ひとくいばこ: Cannibox. Fight it if you want (canniboxes in this game have a chance to drop small medals, so I highly advise that you do so). From here, head east, ignoring the northern path you took to get here, loop around and make your way towards the stairs going down that you can see to the north. B2-Head into the cave you see here. Inside, you'll see the monster sitting on some hay. DO NOT WALK UP TO IT YET. ********************************** IMPORTANT ********************************** Go into your bag and look for an item called ビアンカのリボン: Bianca's Ribbon. Put this into your hero's inventory. This is very important. ********************************** IMPORTANT ********************************** Once you're sure you have Bianca's ribbon in your hero's inventory, walk up to the monster and talk to it to initiate a battle. On the first turn of this battle, have your hero USE ビアンカのリボン: Bianca's Ribbon. When you do so, the monster will recognize the small and tackle/hug the hero. It's really Borongo! After the fight, Borongo will bring a sword to you. This is パパスのつるぎ: Papas's Sword. Borongo will then join your party! Give him the はがねのキバ: Steel Fang, ビアンカのリボン: Bianca's Ribbon, and てつのむねあて: Iron Breastplate. Put Papas's sword into the hero's inventory to use on bosses or tough enemies, then head back the way you came. Head upstairs. B1-On this floor, find any old hole and fall down. B2-Head to the southern area of this level, from wherever you are, and open the chest to find a てつのむねあて: Iron Breastplate. If you sold the other one you had, give this one to Borongo instead. We're all done here, so have the hero cast リレミト: Evac. Return to Kabochi. Stay at the inn if you need to (or if it's nighttime). If you talk around town, people will notice Borongo with you and think you planned this whole thing just to steal their money. Head to the elder's house, and speak with him. He's not happy about this, one bit... but he will give you your other 1500 gold, anyway, and then basically tells you to get out of his sight. Exit the elder's house, and speak with the farmer inside the storehouse to the north, and then examine the scarecrow in the field to the east. You'll be asked if you want to take it with you, so say はい: hai (Yes), and you'll receive the コワモテかかし: Fearsome Scarecrow which is yet another regional specialty. Exit town. Go north to Port Selmi, then head due west. After passing some mountains and forests, you'll come to a new town. .-------------------------------------------------------------------------. | II-G.4 - ルラフェン: Ruraphen Lv. 15 | +=========================================================================+ | Services | | Church | | Inn: 15G per person | | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Weapon Shop (daytime only) | | のきぎりがたな: Saw Blade 1200G | | おおきなづち: Big Hammer 1800G | | はがねのつるぎ: Steel Sword 2000G | | はがねのキバ: Stone Fang 2000G | | スネークソード: Snake Sword 2900G | | Armor Shop (nighttime only) | | はがねのよろい: Steel Armor 2300G | | カメのこうら: Turtle Shell 2500G | | てつかぶと: Iron Helm 1100G | | てっかめん: Iron Mask 3500G | | うろこのたて: Scale Shield 180G | | マジックシールド: Magic Shield 3400G | | Item Shop | | やくそう: Medical Herb 8G | | どくけしそう: Antidote Herb 10G | | せいすい: Holy Water 20G | | キメラのつばさ: Chimera Wing 35G | | まんげつそう: Fullmoon Herb 30G | | まもののエサ: Monster Bait 200G | +=========================================================================+ Head into the inn and go upstairs. Break the top-most pot near the stairs going further up for Small Medal #010. Leave the inn and head north into the bar. Break the barrel in the far right for a ふくびき券: ふくびきけん (Lottery Ticket). Head upstairs, and into the room on the left. Break the barrel in the corner for ふしぎな木の実: ふしぎなきのみ (Mysterious Nuts). Exit this room and enter the room with the man sitting at the table. Open the drawers here for a すごろく券: すごろくけん (Sugoroku Ticket). Exit the building through the church. Slightly northeast of the church is a small 'pit' with a man and some pots. Break the bottom left pot for Small Medal #011. Break the pot on the top right for a すばやさのたね: Agility Seed. Now, walk all the way west past the item shop, and go north. Rotate the camera, and follow the path. To the south is the weapon/armor shop if you need it. It sells weapons during the day, and armor at night. I don't personally buy anything from the weapon shop. Whether you went south to the shop or not, head onto the grass and turn west. You'll see a note on the northern well. Head directly south from here, through a hidden passage and you'll come to a house all by itself. Before you enter, break the pot nearby for a キメラのつばさ: Chimera Wing. Inside, ignore the man for a second and break the top-most barrel for a 魔法の聖水: まほうのせいすい (Magic Holywater), then break the top-most pot in the upper corner for a 薬草: やくそう (Medical Herb). Speak with the man, whose name is ベネット: Bennet. He'll ask if you're here to complain about the smoke. Say いいえ: No. He'll then describe what he's working on: a spell that can transport you to a place you've been in no time flat. Then, he'll ask if you want to assist in his research. Say はい: Yes. Upstairs, he'll show you a map. He needs you to go get the ルラムーン草: Ruramoon Herb, which only grows at night. He'll show you exactly where it grows, so we only need to walk there. Then he'll ask if you want him to repeat it, so say no. Now he'll take a nap, while we do the dirty work. Exit his house, and use the やみのランプ: Lamp of Darkness). Make your way over to where the weapon shop was and speak with the armor merchant. At this point, I buy a てっかめん: Iron Mask for the hero, and a てつかぶと: Iron Helm for Borongo. I also strongly recommend buying another マジックシールド: Magic Shield for the hero, as it will come in handy very soon. If you're low on money, make sure you sell some of the equipment you have in your bag. It's safe to sell almost all of it. Sell any leather shields, scale shields, leather loincloths, and generally low-level armor that you might have kicking around. Also, sell that stone axe you got in the monster's den, Borongo's old iron claw, the iron breastplate you found, and so forth. Once you're finished here, head out of town. Turn northwest from Ruraphen, and you'll come across a pathway going up onto a 'hill.' Once you climb it, continue straight west across a bridge, and go down the hill on the other side. View your map here (press □). See the small bit of forest at the far southern coast? That's our destination. When you reach the forest, use the やみのランプ: Lamp of Darkness if it's not already nighttime. You should see a small herb between the water and the forest. Examine it to claim the ルラムーン草: Ruramoon Herb. Head back to Ruraphen! Head to Bennet's house and give him the herb, then follow him downstairs and speak with him once more. After a very... interesting scene, After you wake up, he'll wonder if it worked. Go to the hero's magic menu, and use your new spell ルーラ: Zoom, but warp right back to Ruraphen, since we have one more thing to do here. Back in town, go inside the church and speak with the old man at the table in the upper right room. He'll ask if you wouldn't like to hear the legend about the ルラフェンの地酒: Ruraphen Local Sake. Say no, and he'll tell the story. After you hear it, head outside and use the やみのランプ: Lamp of Darkness again... then head into the bar. Go upstairs, and into the room where the man was eating in the daytime. He'll be looking at a pot. Speak with him, and then go see Bennet. He'll ask if you want to learn another spell, which would be nice... but say no. He'll talk about the legend, and eventually give you some ルラフェンの地酒: Ruraphen Local Sake) of your own, which is yet another regional specialty. +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | II-H - Two rings, and a decision | +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | My level: 16 | +--------------+ Our next destination is south of Ruraphen. Start south, over some mountains and through a desert patch. Once through the desert, continue south some more and you'll come across a small inn. .-------------------------------------------------------------------------. | II-H.1 - うわさのほこら: Rumor Shrine Lv. 16 | +=========================================================================+ | Services | | Church | | Inn: 15G per person | +=========================================================================+ Break the top-most pot next to the inn for a ふくびき券: ふくびきけん (Lottery Ticket). Enter the inn and go to the western room and go down the well. Search the sparkle for Small Medal #012. Return to the surface, and go in the door next to the innkeeper. Speak with him, and then go to the counter left of him and examine it. If you're having trouble, stand directly left of him and face the counter, then open the menu and choose しらべる: Search. You'll receive the うわさのノート: Rumor Note, which is another regional specialty. Leave the rumor shrine. Continue south and enter the cave you see. Walk east and south and speak with the soldier. He bears a message from Henry, and asks you to return to Reinhart to visit him. Exit the cave and cast ルーラ: Zoom and go to オラクルベリ: Oracleberry. Return to where you bought the wagon at night, and speak with the man again. He'll be selling the モンスターボックス: Monster Box for 1000G. This is very much like the Monster Picture Book in Dragon Quest 7. It shows stats and other information about the enemies you've encountered. It's nice to have, but it's necessary to buy it anyway since what we're really after is the item he sells after this one. If you leave town and come back, he'll be selling something good for 5000G, the オラクルやののれん: Oracle Shop Curtain. The price is a bit hefty, but it's another regional specialty item. This one can be equipped, granting 30 defense power and 10 HP recovery every turn. It's well worth the money, so I recommend buying it as soon as possible. Come back later if you can't afford it just yet. Teleport to ラインハット: Reinhart. The shops in Reinhart don't have anything new, so head straight into the castle. Head up the stairs to the left of the entrance and through the door to the north. You'll find three chests which hold 鉄のよろい: てつのよろい (Iron Armor), 1200 gold, and an 命の木の実: いのちのきのみ (Life Nut). Give the iron armor to Pierre if it's better than what he has on. Head back down stairs and up to the throne room. Speak with Dale, and he'll tell you that he's been studying the legendary hero as well. He's heard that the hero's shield seems to have been found in サラボナ: Salabona. Head upstairs. Here, you'll find Henry and Maria sitting together. Speak with Henry, and you'll find that they've been married! He remarks that he always liked Maria, but thought that she liked you more, but Maria says that's silly, but she's sure you'll find someone special too! Henry then says that he regrets that you couldn't make it to his wedding, but he left you a souvenir in his old room. From here, head down to Henry's room (east past the large stairs on the first floor) and check the chest that he had you check near the beginning of the game for his follower's seal. You'll find a note. ". I've written this here, as I couldn't say it in person. I haven't forgotten about what happened to your father for even one day. I wanted to repay you someday if we managed to survive all of those years as slaves. I thought I'd give it my best shot. Even though my power wasn't good enough to help you find the legendary hero, you've helped me look after my country and its people. You were never my follower... you're my friend. -- Henry" Return to Henry, and he'll laugh, remarking about having tricked you once again. He then presents you with a beautifully crafted music box, the 記念オルゴール: memorial music box. This is another specialty product, so throw it into the bag. Henry says that you should try to find a wife like he did, even if your main goal is to rescue your mother. If you don't first find happiness for yourself, it might be too late! Leave the castle and teleport to Ruraphen. From there, head south past the rumor shrine and into the cave from before. Past where the guard was standing previously, first take the right path to find Small Medal #013, then return to the fork and take the left path. Follow it out of the cave. Follow the path west to find a new town, Salabona. .-------------------------------------------------------------------------. | II-H.2 - サラボナ: Salabona Lv. 16 | +=========================================================================+ | Services | | Church | | Inn: 30G | | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Weapon Shop | | チェーンクロス: Chain Cross 1200G | | はがねのつるぎ: Steel Sword 2000G | | モーニングスター: Morning Star 3000G | | はじゃのつるぎ: Sword of Malice 4400G | | はがねのキバ: Steel Fang 2000G | | Armor Shop | | おどりこのふく: Dancer's Clothes 1300G | | はがねのよろい: Steel Armor 2300G | | カメのこうら: Turtle Shell 2500G | | みかわしのふく: Cloak of Evasion 3000G | | ぎんのかみかざり: Silver Barrette 450G | | シルクハット: Silk Hat 2000G | | Item Shop | | やくそう: Medical Herb 8G | | どくけしそう: Antidote Herb 10G | | せいすい: Holy Water 20G | | キメラのつばさ: Chimera Wing 35G | | まんげつそう: Fullmoon Herb 30G | | かわのたて: Leather Shield 70G | +=========================================================================+ When you first enter the town, you'll be greeted by a dog. Following the dog is a young girl, calling out for someone to stop the dog from leaving the village. After catching up, she thanks you for stopping her dog and leaves. Once you have control, it's time to explore the town for some items. Inside the inn, you'll find a 鉄のたて: てつのたて (Iron Shield). Enter the house just south of the inn and check the drawers to find Small Medal #014. Head upstairs and check another set of drawers for a ふくびき券: ふくびきけん (Lottery Ticket). The last item to find here for now is in the far west house. Enter and check the drawers to find a かしこさのたね: Intelligence Seed. Most of the shops aren't open just yet, so head into the large house in the northwestern corner of town. Speak with the people inside to learn that the owner of the house, Ludman, is having a contest to decide who his daughter, Flora, is to marry. アンディ: Andy, the man at the end, is a childhood friend of Flora's, and appears to be the only suitor who's actually interested in her and not her fortune. Once you've spoken with everyone, you'll be called in to the main room. Ludman is willing to give away his daughter and his heirloom (a shield!) to whomever can bring him the fire and water rings hidden somewhere in the world. Flora will come downstairs and raise a fuss, insisting one more time that she be allowed to marry whomever she chooses. Once the meeting is over, head upstairs and check the most northern wardrobe in Flora's room for a 銀のかみかざり: ぎんおかみかざり (Silver Barrette), and then go to Ludman's room and look in the drawers to find a すごろく券: すごろくけん (Sugoroku Ticket), and a きめのエプロン: Silk Apron. The shops are open in town, now. There's some new stuff, but most of it isn't really necessary. I personally just buy a はじゃのつるぎ: Sword of Malice for Pierre, and that's it. You might want to buy a カメのこうら: Turtle Shell for Slalin if you didn't get the Oracle Shop Curtain, but the shop curtain is a much better value. If you weren't able to buy it before, I recommend going back to get it as soon as you get 5000G! Exit town and begin heading southeast. Around this area, you can recruit a キメラ: Chimera if you're so inclined. I love to have these outside of my main battle party, as they can learn some good healing magic. They're sometimes quite difficult to recruit, though, so if you can't get one, don't sweat it! After heading southeast and north again around the mountains, you'll find your destination. +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | II-H.3 - 死の火山: Death Volcano | +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | My level: 18 | +--------------+ Monsters in the area -------------------- #027 がいこつへい: Skeleton Soldier #038 わらいぶくろ: Laughing Bag #043 メタルスライム: Metal Slime * #074 ホースデビル: Horse Devil #077 メタルハンター: Metal Hunter #079 キメラ: Chimera * #080 へびこうもり: Snake Bat #082 ダークマンモス: Dark Mammoth #083 ばくだんいわ: Bomb Crag * #084 ランスアーミー: Lance Army #085 まものつかい: Beast Master #086 マドルーパ: Mud Looper #087 おどるほうせき: Dancing Jewel * #088 ベホマスライム: Behoma Slime * #093 ほのおのせんし: Flame Soldier * This dungeon can be a little tough, but there are a few tricks to make it easier. Whenever you come across a patch of damaging molten floor, remove everybody from your active party except for the hero. This way, only the hero will take damage. If you get into a battle, you can just bring your party members back in via the menu at the start of the battle. B1-Start heading west, and you'll run into Andy. He doesn't appear to be doing very well. :\ Continue past him until you can't go west any further, and go south to find a chest with 450 gold. From here, go north and follow the path around, avoiding any side paths and you'll find the stairs going down. B2-There's a lot of lava here. Head north and take the first path east, then head north at the fork to find a chest with a すごろく券: すごろくけん (Sugoroku Ticket) in it. Just a bit east, you'll see a ramp going down into a lava pit, and a chest on an island in the middle. Heed my advice above and remove everybody except the hero from your group, and make a run for it! Inside the chest is a まふうじの杖: まふうじのつえ Antimagic Staff. Head back a bit, past the chest with the sugoroku ticket and go south and east. After the path bends to the north, head off to the east and south to find the last chest on this floor, which contains a 鉄かぶと: Iron Helmet. I put this on Pierre, as it was better than what he had on. From here, just head north to the stairs. B3-Head a bit east and you'll see all kinds of pathways branching off. Take the left-most path going north to find a chest containing a まもりのたね: Defense Seed. Return to the big fork and go all the way west, following the bend all the way north. You'll find another molten path leading around to the south and a chest at the end containing 1500 gold. Return to the big group of forks once again, and take the second northbound path from the right. Once you're over the molten pathway, you'll see two paths going east. Take the southern one first to find some stairs. Below, you'll find a healing point to recover your party's HP and MP. After using it (use it!), head back upstairs and take the northern set of stairs. B4-Just head north a ways until you see the fire ring stuck in a rock. Heal up and prepare yourself, because once you examine the ring, you're forced to fight... --BOSS----------------------------------------------------------------------- ようがんげんじん: Lava Savage x3 -HP: 420 each -Uses かえんの息: Flame Breath and regular attacks. -My level: 20 These guys aren't too tough, especially if you have Slalin and he's equipped with the Oracle Shop Curtain. The magic shields I recommended buying will also come in quite handy here. I recommend bringing Borongo, Slalin and Pierre into this fight. Have Slalin cast ルカナン: Kasap twice, and then buff the party with スクルト: Kabuff at least once. Attack with everybody else, trading healing duties between the hero and Pierre. Once you get one of them killed, the battle becomes a whole bunch easier. Keep at it, and you should win handily. You'll receive 1050 experience points and 750 gold for winning. ----------------------------------------------------------------------/BOSS-- Once you've won, take your prize, the 炎のリング: ほのおのリング (Fire Ring) and exit the dungeon. Return to Salabona and speak with Ludman, but make sure your hero has the ring in his inventory! Ludman will take the ring for safe-keeping and send you on your way to find the water ring, allowing you to use his ship for your means. Exit town and hop on the ship that's waiting for you outside. Head north up the channel until you come across a gate blocking the way further. Disembark from the ship here and head a little bit east to find a small village. .-------------------------------------------------------------------------. | II-H.4 - 山奥の村: Mountain Village Lv. 19 | +=========================================================================+ | Services | | Church | | Inn: 8G per person | | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Weapon Shop | | どくがのナイフ: Poison Knife 900G | | おおかなづち: Sledge Hammer 1800G | | はがねのつるぎ: Steel Sword 2000G | | スネークソード: Snake Sword 3900G | | バトルアックス: Battle Axe 4000G | | はじゃのつるぎ: Sword of Malice 4400G | | Item Shop | | やくそう: Medical Herb 8G | | どくけしそう: Antidote Herb 10G | | せいすい: Holy Water 20G | | キメラのつばさ: Chimera Wing 35G | | まんげつそう: Fullmoon Herb 30G | | かわのぼうし: Leather Hat 65G | +=========================================================================+ First, head into the cave on the west side of town. Inside, you'll find two pots. The southern one contains a ちからのたね: Strength Seed, and the northern one is an あくまのツボ: Demon Pot. Demon pots are similar to mimics, and are just as nasty. They can cast ザキ: Thwack, which is quite annoying. They can drop small medals, though, so it might be worth it to fight it. Leave the item shop. Head north and up the stairs to the building on the left, which is the inn/weapon shop. Head down the stairs in the wsetern corner and break the barrel in the corner for Small Medal #015. Head upstairs and up the stairs nearby again and open the drawers to your left, to receive a 薬草: やくそう (Medical Herb). Exit the inn. Head further north to find a woman standing in front of a grave. Search the ground in front of the grave next to her to find Small Medal #016. The woman doesn't have much to say, so head further north again, and walk underneath the house instead of going up the stairs. Go down the well here to find a chest containing a すごろく券: すごろくけん (Sugoroku Ticket). Now head into the most northern-most house in the village. Inside, speak with the man laying in bed. You'll find that his name is ダンカン: Duncan, the same man you helped save when you were a kid! He says he hasn't been doing too well, and that his wife died. He also says Bianca should have been out tending to her mother's grave. That was Bianca! After a bit more conversation, Bianca enters and is overjoyed to see you. She says she'd love to go adventuring with you again, but isn't happy to hear that you're getting married. Regardless, she asks you to say the night and so you do. When you wake up, go speak with Duncan. He tells you that Bianca isn't his real daughter, and that he doesn't have much longer to live. He wants you to stay with her and take care of her once he passes. As you sit down to breakfast, Bianca says that she wants to help you get the water ring. She can open the flood gate, so she'll join the party. At this point, the game will force Bianca into your party every time you enter a town. She joins at a very low level (10), and is pretty awful in battle. Fortunately, the game does NOT force you to take her into the waterfall cave in this version, so if you don't want to use her in battles, you don't have to. Exit the village and get back into your boat. Approach the flood gate for a scene, and you are now free to pass. Head northeast (check the map for a canal, and follow it north) and you'll come across a cave. Enter! +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | II-H.5 - 滝の洞くつ: Waterfall Cave | +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | My level: 20 | +--------------+ Monsters in the area -------------------- #027 がいこつへい: Skeleton Soldier #038 わらいぶくろ: Laughing Bag #043 メタルスライム: Metal Slime * #080 へびこうもり: Snake Bat #081 ベロゴン: Lick Dragon #082 ダークマモス: Dark Mammoth #084 ランスアーミー: Lance Army #085 まものつかい: Beast Master #086 マドルーパー: Mud Looper #087 おどるほうせき: Dancing Jewel * #088 ベホマスライム: Behoma Slime * #089 ガスダンゴ: Gas Dumpling #090 オーク: Orc #183 オクトリーチ: Octoleech #184 マーマン: Merman #185 プチイール: Petit Eel 1F-After disembarking from the ship, head north. On the next screen, just follow the spiraling path until you reach the stairs going down. B1-Follow the path around to the next set of stairs. B2-Follow the path again. B3-Follow the path yet again until you reach the next screen. Continue east across the thin path (beautiful waterfall!) to the next screen. Here, head north past the bully NPC until you reach the north wall, then walk west around the pool, then turn south. You should see some stairs and a pit. Ignore the stairs, and fall down the pit. B4-Ignore the pit and head south to the next screen. Head east to find a chest containing a やすらぎのローブ: Robe of Tranquility. Head back and fall down the pit you ignored before. B5-Head north past the stairs nearby, and around to the east to another set of stairs. B6-Go south to the next screen. You'll now be in a very large, open room. Follow the path west, south and east until you find a ramp going down into some water, and a fork in the road. First, continue east up another ramp and go down the stairs you find. Once there, you'll find a chest containing an エルフののみぐすり: Elfin Elixir. Go back upstairs and take the northern path around. Skip the door for a second and get the chest to the east, which holds 1200 gold. Now enter the door and claim the 水のリング: Water Ring. We're all done here, so cast リレミト: Evac, and then teleport back to Salabona. ---------------------- Walkthrough incomplete ---------------------- ---------------------- Walkthrough incomplete ---------------------- =============================================================================== III.
