The East Continent --------------------- After all that, Idura will take Maxim and Selan's kid and go to the North Lighthouse (why does he TELL them where's he going?). Equip Selan with any better stuff you have and head to the North Lighthouse (across the bridge, to the northeast). Push the outer blocks one square right and the inner blocks two squares right to make an arrow and open the door on the right. Put two crates on the top switches, then put the third one in the door to hold it open. Then put blocks on the bottom switch and then the crest. Get the Dragon Egg, Mystery Ring, and Big Shield, then head left. Upstairs, play the matching game, or just cheat (the matching numbers are pairs): 1234 5467 8615 8732 Head left and hit the switch, then go south and outside. Take the next door and head upstairs. Go outside and climb the ladder for the Fire Ring, then go back in and swing across the gap. Head up, bomb through, and hit the switch. Go outside, ascend, and enter. Step on the switch and put the pots on the two crests in the second row. Get the Light Key and go left to the teleporter back to the entrance. In the arrow room, reverse the arrow and head left. Follow the path to the fourth floor. Go south to fill up, then head east and up. Push the pillar to reveal a hole. Bomb the hole and push the pillar through. Fall down and push the pillar on the top switch. Get the chest, then move the pillar up next to the gap. Hit the lower switch and swing back across. Swing to the pillar, so you fall in the gap. Get the Cancer Rock and teleport out. Back on the fifth floor, head south and follow the path outside to a room with a bunch of switches. Push three of the blocks onto the switches and move the other one out of the way. Walk into the center and the stairs will appear. Head up and fight Idura. Use Stone IPs and the Mystery Ring's Mirror to protect against his magic. Ignore the guys he summons and keep hitting him. Go ahead and use magic; if Selan has the Magic Bikini, you can use Magic Cure to restore MP. The Water Jewel's Frost is very effective. After the fight, Idura leaves and you return to Parcelyte. Warp to Bound Kingdom and head east past the tower to the shrine. Warp to Aleyn and Guy and Dekar will show up and join. Put them in the front. Continue east to Aleyn. Get new equipment and spells. The most important spells are the expensive (but very useful) Rally and Vortex or Blizzard. You don't really need Stronger at this point, unless you have a lot of spare cash. Head north and loop south around the mountains to get to Phantom Mountain. Head straight in and put a bomb in front of the door to destroy all the plants. Head up, flick the switch, then take the door on the right in the entrance room. Go up and outside. Enter the next cave and bomb open the wall. Follow the path outside and get the Tree Key. Go back to the room where you bombed the wall. To grow all the grass, follow these instructions starting from the lower left: RRURUULDLULDD. Step on the two remaining patches of grass to open the door. Open the chest for Fire Arrows. Follow the path down to the base and enter the cave. If you want, go down the stairs to get the Water Ring, but there's a lot of fights. Upstairs, cut the vines to reveal a door and go up the stairs. Use fire arrows to clear out the bushes in the upper right. Push the lower-left block to the left. Push the upper-left block up a square, then the one to your right to the right. Push the block onto the switch. Go up onto the next platform, shoot the bushes, and push the blocks onto the switches. Start the maze at the right of the two entrance squares and go URURRRRR. Pick up the pot and go UULLDLLLLDLLUUUURU. Use the R button to set the pot down to your right. Pick up the pot to your left and walk up a square. Put it down on the switch. Go right and pick up the pot below and put it on the other switch. Then go DDDDRRRURU to the exit. Bomb through and ascend the ledge with the ladder. Swing down, left, right, up, right, and up to the door. Head up and and stun the Skull Lizard on the switch. Swing across and head outside. Cross the bridge and bomb the cave open. Get the Mad Gorem to follow you onto the ledge and fall down. Talk to Jyad and he will ask you to kill the monster. Save your game and head south. You will fight two Lions. Use Thunderball and Stone IPs. Attack one Lion until it's dead, then attack the other. If you have Stronger, you can cast it on all your party members at once (don't do this with Strong, it's too weak). You don't need Stronger, but you will need Rally. Blizzard works well. After you beat them (it's pretty tough), head outside to the Phantom Tree. You will return to Aleyn. Get Stronger if you didn't earlier and stay at the inn twice. Then head to the lower-left and you'll find Jyad. You will have to put Guy and Dekar back in the lead. You can now go to Narcysus on Ustark or Gruberik, where you'll find the sadistically hard Ancient Cave. The Ancient Cave is covered in a special section at the end of the file. Head to Narcysus, but don't get any equipment other than the Long Sword and Plated Cloth for Maxim. Instead, head east across the bridge to Karlloon (also spelled Caron or Karloon). You can buy great equipment and spells here. You will need most of the equipment for the next dungeon, which is pretty tough. Make sure you have the Rally spell, which is essential. You will probably want to get up a few levels, too. Head north from Narcysus to the Tower of Sacrifice. Inside, head left and walk around the top side of the room to the door. Avoid the chicken-like Pugs if you can, or use Vortex if you have to fight them. On the second floor, hit the switch, cross the pit, and go south. Bomb the wall, then hit both switches and go back through the door. Go through the bombed wall (you can't see the door, but it's on the south wall) and walk to the door. Head outside and go upstairs. Bomb the wall and go down to the first floor to get the Narcysus Key. Bomb the three cracked pillars and go upstairs. Take the new passage up for the Ice Ring. Back on the third floor, head south and outside. Enter the next room and unlock the door. Push the right block to the left until it's moved down. Hit the lever, then step on the switch. Push the other block to the right, past the switch, and up. Walk to the door and head upstairs. Go south and get Gusto, the Air Capsule. Number the squares on the arrow to the right like this: 1 2345 6789A BCDE F Then bomb 2,B,7,4,D,A to open the door on the right. Go down and hit the switch. Back in the arrow room, flip the solution for the right arrow over and use it on the left arrow to open that door. Head out to the left, go up, and enter the top door. Save your game and go north. Start next to the far left row and walk up, then go back down the next aisle. Weave back and forth to the far right and the door opens. Go upstairs and face Idura. Use your IP attacks, but save Dekar's IP so he can use the Metal Mail's Sacred Song. Blizzard and other Ice attacks work very well. You might also want to have Maxim use the Silvo Shield's Aura Protect IP. Again, just ignore the guys he summons until you beat him. After the fight, Idura leaves again. Leave the tower and head to Karlloon. You probably have most of the stuff here already, but you can get what you don't have. Then just head north to the North Shrine. Enter and bomb the broken column. Push the pillar onto the switch it reveals and follow the path until you get to a room with a switch. First, go north. Hit the red and blue switches and swing across to get the Dekar Blade, Dekar's most powerful weapon. Head outside the room, shoot the switch, and swing across. Avoid the Medusas (with green hair), which are tough. Follow the path south, hit the flame with your sword, and go up. Head north through the corridor to a small room. Push the block up one space, get the Lion Fang, and continue up to a teleporter. Teleport and go up. From the entrance, head straight left, pushing the block, as far as you can. Walk up one space and push the block left. Head up, pushing the block. Head as far along the path up and right as you can, then push the block there to the far right. Push the block up and right from the teleporter down, then push the block directly above the teleporter left. Teleport to a small room and bomb open the cracked walls. Take the right door to a switch, then follow the left path to healing and saving. Head up and fight Idura again. Nothing much has really changed since your last battle, so just fight Idura the way you did before. After the battle, go upstairs, meet Iris, and return to the room where you entered this floor. Go south and push the pillars onto the switches. Use the Hook to swing to the column and fall down. Go down the stairs and get the Fury Ring. Bomb the three cracked columns and go upstairs. Head north and go down the stairs. Strip Dekar of all his equipment and go up. Dekar will destroy the block on Escape, but you have to leave without him.
