4.1 Shards of Truth -
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Items Found: Nothing
Items Needed: Nothing
The Hero starts his journey in a room next to the Battle Arena. Once
the hero walks west into the Arena, a monster(The Jackal), will come
out of the north gate.
______________________________________________________________________
BOSS Name: JACKAL
Recommended Level: 1
GP: 0
EXP gained: 0
Attacks: None
Best Equipment: Sword
Items Gained: None
Strategy: This boss is very easy. It has no attacks and moves in a "w"
pattern. He will not move below the midpoint of the screen, so as long
as you don't move your character up too much, you won't even get hit.
After 8 or 9 hits the monster will be defeated.
_______________________________________________________________________
Once the Jackal is defeated a small narrative will begin. After this
narrative you will find yourself next to the bed of your best friend
Willy. He tells you to go find Bogard at the falls and to tell him what
has happened.
* B-Floor 2 * Once you are able to move your character go north one
screen. Then talk to the Amanda (the female person walking around).
Amanda will play a major role in your quest, so be sure to pay
attention to what she has to say. Once the conversation is over go east
one screen and walk up the stairs.
* Floor 1 * Now go west one screen. Here you have to fight another
monster.

BOSS Name: JACKAL2
Recommended Level: 1
GP: 0

Attacks: None
Best Equipment: Sword
Items Gained: None
Strategy: Follow the same strategy as before.
_______________________________________________________________________
Once the monster is defeated look at the gate and you will notice that
it is still open. So, go north through the gate to the next screen.
Next, climb down the castle wall and go west one screen. Here you find
the Dark Lord and Julius talking together. They are looking for the
Mana Tree. After the conversation ends you are seen by the Dark Lord
and chased. The Dark Lord will then push you over the waterfall. Your
character drops 5 screens and then hits the ground! After a couple of
hours the Hero wakes up at the bottom of the waterfall.

From the bottom of the falls walk east two screens, south, east, and
north. You will now be in the town of Topple. Buy any supplies that you
need. I recommend that you buy a couple Cure Potions if you had any
trouble dealing with the monsters. While you were fighting, some of the
monsters may have left behind a piece of Candy. By using Candy you can
recover some of your HP's. Now exit the town.
Now go south, and then east one screen. There will be a girl yelling
for help! Defeat the monster and talk to the injured man. He tells you
to bring the girl to Wendel and to see Bogard. Hmm... this Bogard must be
an important man. Hasim, the injured man, will then die. Once he dies
the Girl will join your group. The Girl has the ability to recover your
HP's if you ASK her.
As you continue to fight, you will gain exp and eventually a level up.
When you level up, you will have the choice to boost certain
attributes. The most profitable way for you to raise your attributes is
to have them balanced. For example, choose Power one time, and then
choose Wisdom the next.
Fight around this general area until you reach level 3 or 4. Once you
have over 140 gold, go to Topple and buy the Iron Helmet. Don't forget
to equip it! Make sure that you also buy 1 set of Keys at the Item
shop.
Exit Topple and go east two screens. From here, go south, east, north,
west, north, west three times, and north two screens. Then follow the
vines around and go south to the next screen. Now go west a screen and
climb the vine north to the next screen. Enter Bogard's house.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
4.3 Bogard -
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Items Found: Set of Mattocks
Items Needed: 1 Mattock
Talk to the old man three times, and on the third time he will reveal
his identity. Bogard will talk about what happened many years ago when
Vandole tried to gain the power of Mana. The story goes as follows... A
woman wearing the pendant, (the Girls mom) gave the Gemma knights hope,
which enabled them to beat Vandole.
Bogard will then tell you to go see Cibba in Wendel for more
information. He then opens the door to his back room. Go north into the
room and open the treasure chest for a Mattock. If you want to use the
Mattock, go to the Item screen and double click the Mattock. Whenever
you want to use an item, hit the "B" button. Unequip the Mattock so you
don't accidentally use it.
From Bogard's house, go south, east, north, south on the other side of
the mountains, and east twice. Then climb down the vine and go into the
East Cave.
East Cave
---------
Items Found: None
Items Needed: 1 Mattock
* Floor 1 * Go to the southern end of the screen, and use the Mattock
to clear a path. After clearing the path, go south two screens and up
the stairs.
Now go east twice, south, and east. Go into the little house in the
middle of the screen. The man offers to sell a Battle Axe for 150 gold.
Buy the Battle Axe and also a Pure Potion. Equip the Battle Axe and
exit the house. Then go east, south twice, and west three screens. Now
enter the building. (As you walked to the building, you may have
noticed that you couldn't deal any damage to the Swamp Man. Some
monsters are protected against some weapons, so experiment to see which
weapons or magic will work on which monsters)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
4.4 Kett's House -
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Items Found: Cure Spell
Items Needed: Nothing
Talk to the man by the door and he will tell you that "the room to the
east is only for Mr. Lee". In the room to the north there are two
people. One of them says the key to the Marsh Cave can be found in the
Lizardmen's nest to the south. The other person says that the man threw
away a mirror in the Cave of Marsh.
Go south from that room, and walk west into another room. Now walk
north through the door. Next, go north and walk onto the unoccupied
beds. Just before you go to sleep the Girl will find the Book of Cure
and give it to you. The Hero will learn the Cure spell. When you wake
up in the morning the Girl is gone. Ask the man guarding Mr. Lee's room
and he will "say" that he hasn't seen her.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
4.5 The Bronze Key -
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Items Found: Bronze Key
Items Needed: Nothing
From outside Kett's house, go east three times, and then south. Fight
all the lizards. Once they are defeated, a treasure chest will pop up
in the middle of the screen. Now open the treasure chest, go to the
item screen, and equip the Bronze Key. Now go north one screen, east,
and then north. Now go through the door into the Marsh Cave.
* This is a tip on how to gain some quick levels. If you defeat all the
monsters in once screen you will notice that if you exit a screen and
then go back in, that the monsters will not be there. However, there is
a way to get them back. You must go through three other different
screens and then go to the screen where you killed the monsters. The
monsters will be replenished. Monsters will also be replenished if
there is one or more monsters still alive on the screen. So what you
need to do is first, fight all the monsters in a screen, but leave one
alive. Then exit the screen and go back in. The monsters will have been
replenished. You can do this as many times as you want. This trick will
let you gain a huge amount of gold and experience. This trick works
especially well in the screen with the Lizard Men.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
4.6 Marsh Cave -
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Items Found: Iron Shield, Fire Spell, Mirror
Items Needed: 4 Mattocks, 3 Keys
* Floor 1 * As soon as you enter the cave, you will see a man wandering
around on the screen. Talk to him and let him join your group. Now walk
north, west, and then step on the odd tile near the south wall. Then go
down the stairs.
* Floor 2 * Go east a screen, and then climb down the vine that is at
the end of the log bridge. Now go west a screen, and then go back into
the cave.
* Floor 3* Now go east one screen. Use a Mattock in the middle of the
south wall to make a pathway. Go south a screen and go down across the
ice to get the Sickle. Equip the Sickle and use it to cut down the
vines around you. Then, backtrack to where you met the man wandering
around. (The entrance/exit room of the cave)
* Floor 1 * Now go south. (You can kill the blobs with the man's
fireballs) Use a Mattock on the west wall, and go west through the
opening. If you want to go to the Healing Spring to restore your HP and
MP follow these directions, if you don't just skip over this section
and read on. (Use a Key and go north. Then push the treasure chest onto
the odd tile and go down the stairs. Go south and search the bottom of
the pond. It will heal your HP and MP). From the room where you had the
option to find the Healing Spring, go west twice, and then north. Use a
Key on the east door, and then go through it. Once all the monsters are
defeated, a chest will appear. Open the treasure chest for an Iron
Shield. Equip the Iron Shield and go west through the door. Use the
Sickle to cut down the vines and go north. Then walk east a screen, and
use a Mattock on the rock in the northeast corner of the room. Then
walk down the stairs to the next floor.
* Floor 2 * Climb along the vines and go south. Then go west and into
the cave. Then go west, south, use a Key on the door and go through it.
Kill the monsters and slide east on the northern most row of ice. Use a
Mattock to break the rock, and then go south and break the southern
most rock. Step on the switch, save your game, and equip the Cure
spell. Now go down the stairs.
* Floor 3 * Go east a screen to battle the boss monster of this cave.
______________________________________________________________________
BOSS Name: Hydra
Recommended Level: 13
GP: 94
EXP gained: 10
Attacks: Fireballs
Best Equipment: Sickle
Items Gained: Magic Book of Fire, Mirror
Strategy: To defeat this monster move north as the monster moves south.
Then attack the heads as the monster comes up. Once he is moving to the
top of the screen go south. Then once the Hydra goes down, move up and
attack the heads. This strategy sounds harder than it really is when
you are playing the game. The Iron Shield is able to block any
fireballs and your Sickle can destroy any of the fireballs. The only
real danger is if the Hydra hits you with his body. Keep on doing this
until the Hydra dies.
_______________________________________________________________________
After defeating the Hydra two treasure chests will appear. Open the
first one to learn the spell Fire. Destroy the chest with your weapon
and open the second for the Mirror. The Man tells you to show it to the
man at Kett's and then the man disappears. You are then warped back
outside the cave. Travel back to Kett's and save your game outside the
building.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
4.7 Kett's Dungeon -
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Items Found: Chain Flail, Sleep Spell
Items Needed: 5 Mattocks, 2 Keys
* Floor 1 * Equip the Mirror and talk to the man guarding the door. He
will turn into a Werewolf. Kill him and then go restore your HP and MP
at the beds where you found the Cure Spell. (In this cave the Face Orbs
and Pirates can only be hurt by the Fire magic). Starting from the room
where you fought the Werewolf, go east twice, north, west and up the
stairs.
* Floor 2 * Go south and use a Mattock on the east wall. Go east
through the hole, north, east, south twice, and west. Use a Mattock to
break one of the pots, and then step onto the odd tile. Then go down
the new stairs in the southeast corner.
* Floor 1 * Go east, north, and use a Key to open the door. Then go
north through the door and open the chest to find a Chain Flail. Equip
the Chain Flail and use it on the east pole to pull yourself across.
Step on the odd tile to remove the blocks that are in your way. Now go
south twice, west and up the stairs.
* Floor 2 * Go up the stairs to the north.
* Floor 3 * Now go west a screen and use the Chain Flail to pull
yourself across the chasm. Then go west a screen and then south down
the stairs.
* Floor 2 * Now go west a screen, and then north. Kill all the
creatures and let your Attack Meter be filled to the MAX. Then use the
Chain to go across the gap. (If you accidentally fall in the gap, go
north a screen, and up the stairs. Then go south through the door to
the room where you fell through the gap). Then, go east twice, north,
and west. Push the treasure onto the odd tile, and then go down the
stairs. (If you accidentally destroy the treasure chest, go out of the
room and then come back in. A new treasure chest will be there)
* Floor 1 * Now use a Mattock on the southeast pot, and then go down
the stairs.
* B-Floor 2 * Go east and use a Key on the door to the south. Go south
through the door. Open the second coffin going from right to left, on
the bottom row, to find the Girl. (Remember that you can ASK the girl
and she will recover your HP) Now you have backtrack to the entrance of
Kett's house.
(Go north, west, and up the stairs. Then go north up more stairs. Go
south and use a Mattock to break the pots. Then go south a screen and
walk up the stairs. Then go east, use the Chain, east, and down the
stairs. Then go east, north twice, west, south, west, north and then
down the stairs. Then go east, south, and west)
Make sure you save your game and heal before west to the entrance of
Kett's. Now go west through the door. Mr. Lee is in this room... but
instead of meeting a human, you meet a vampire!
______________________________________________________________________
BOSS Name: Mr. Lee
Recommended Level: 15
GP: 10
EXP gained: 11
Attacks: Bats
Best Equipment: Chain, Cure Spell
Items Gained: Magic Book of Sleep
Strategy: This battle is very easy. You notice that the Mr. Lee, will
only move to 4 locations on the screen. He can move to either position
adjacent to him. However, he will not jump to the position directly
across from him.
/-------\ He attacks by opening his cape and launching bats at you.
| x | Luckily, you are able to block the bats with your shield.
|x x| The best strategy to defeat him is to block/dodge the bats
| x | with your shield, and then hit him with the Chain Flail. I
| | was able to beat him without getting hit once using this
\-------/ strategy. Dodge his bats and then strike at him. If you run
low on HP you can either use the Cure Spell, or ASK the Girl
to cure your wounds.
_______________________________________________________________________
After defeating Mr. Lee you will get the Magic Book of Sleep. You are
then warped outside of Kett's House. The Girl will tell you to travel
to Wendel. From outside Kett's, go east three times, south, west, cut
down the vines, and then go south. Then go west, north, and use the
Chain Flail to go across the river. Then go south, east, south twice,
east, and then north twice.

Once in Wendel, go east and you will meet the Man who helped you in the
Marsh Cave. Go to the Weapon Shop, buy the Iron Armor and sell any
excess items that you might have. From the outside the Weapon Shop, go
east, and north. Walk into the temple and go north to find Cibba.
Cibba tells the Girl to stand on the circle. Once the Girl stands on
the circle her mother appears. She tells the Girl to guard the Mana
Tree with the Gemma knights. Suddenly, the Man who helped you at the
cave shows up and says that the town is under attack. He then runs to
the Girl and says that he is going to take her to a hiding place. The
man who helped you turns into Julius. He then takes the Girl and runs
outside. When you are able to move, exit the temple and walk south
towards the town entrance. You have the option to avoid or kill the
monsters in your path. Once you catch up with Julius outside town, he
will zap you with his magic. When you wake up, you will find yourself
in the temple with Cibba. Cibba tells you that Julius took the Girl
away in the airship. He then gives you the magic spell Heal.
From outside Wendel, go west, south, and west. Now cut down the tree to
the west that is directly above the sand with your Battle Axe. Then go
west twice, and into the cave.

Once you are inside the cave, talk to some of the dwarves. One will
tell you that you need to buy some Oil for the trolley tracks. You also
learn that Gaia Cave likes Silver, and that you can find Silver in the
Mine to the north.
Exit the Dwarf Cave and go north one screen. Then, use the Chain to go
across the stream. Then go south twice, east, and into the Item shop.
Buy an Oil for 500 gold, and exit the store.
Now go north a screen, use the Chain to get across the stream, and go
north twice. Now you need to equip the Battle Axe so you can chop down
the trees in the northwest corner of the screen. Now go north a screen
and chop some more trees.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
4.10 Silver Mine -
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Items Found: Silver
Items Needed: Oil, 5 Mattocks
* Floor 1 * Use the Oil on the cart and make sure you have your Sickle
equipped. You need the Sickle to change the tracks your cart is riding
on by hitting the second and third switch. Jump into the mine cart and
you will travel west two screens. Don't hit this switch. Now be patient
until you reach the next switch as the mine cart goes through two
screens west, one south, and one east. The switch you need to hit is
near the beginning of the screen and it is north of the tracks. After
hitting this switch you will travel south one screen where you have to
hit another switch on the east side of the tracks. Now the track will
lead to a pile of rocks, which your cart will hit. You are knocked down
into the mineshaft. (If you miss or hit the wrong switch, keep on
trying until you get it right. There is no time penalty in this cave)
* B-Floor 2 * At the bottom of the mineshaft you will meet Watts. He
will join your group and help you look for Silver. If you are low on
supplies, ASK Watts and he'll let you buy some of the Items he is
carrying. Watts also sells X-Cure, which can not be bought until later
on in the game. From here, go north and use a Mattock to break the
boulder at the north portion of the screen. Then go east and through
the door. Break the boulder farthest to the west, and then go south.
Use the pond to restore you HP and MP. Then go north and use a Mattock
on the boulder farthest east. Now use a Mattock on the east wall, and
then go through the hole. Use a Mattock on the pot and stand on the odd
tile. Now slide east on the ice, and then go down the stairs.
* B-Floor 3 * Go west twice and back into the cave. Go west, north, and
up the stairs.
* B-Floor 2 * Go west and down the stairs.
* B-Floor 3 * Prepare yourself to fight the boss monster. Then climb
south down the vine.
______________________________________________________________________
BOSS Name: Megapede
Recommended Level: 19
GP: 161
EXP gained: 48
Attacks: None
Best Equipment: Chain, Cure Spell
Items Gained: Silver
Strategy: The Megapede will come out of one of the four holes. It
travels in a normal or sideways figure 8 motion. Wait for him at a
hole, and then hit it in the head. The Megapede will not receive any
damage if you hit him on the body. Make sure you have at least 20 HP
when you defeat it, because it will explode and deal your character a
fair amount of damage. Once it is defeated, open the treasure chest for
the Silver.
_______________________________________________________________________
You are transported outside the cave and Watts leaves with the Silver
to make weapons and armor. He tells you to meet him in the Dwarf Cave.
Now go back to the Dwarf Cave (east, south three times, west and into
the cave). Once you are in the Dwarf Cave go south and buy the Silver
sword, armor, and shield from Watts. Exit the Dwarf Cave and go north
twice, west, and then north one screen. Now go into the cave.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
4.11 Gaia's Cave -
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Items Found: Nothing
Items Needed: Nothing
Go west, south, and then walk south between two statues. Once you walk
between the statues the door will shut. So go back up partway between
the statues and as soon as the door opens, go back south and through
the door. Then go up the stairs in the southeast corner of the room.
Once you are outside the cave Bogard will join your group. He tells you
that the Airship it refueling at the lake to the north.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
4.12 Refueling Lake -
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Items Found: Nothing
Items Needed: Nothing
Now go south, cut a path through the trees, and then go west a screen.
(If you paid close attention, you will have noticed that the screen you
just went through had four werewolf creatures. These creatures can all
be killed, and then be replenished. They are all also situated in a
small clearing right next to the border of the screen... which means
that this is a very, very, easy place to level. First go one screen
west of them, and then go back right and start swinging your weapon,
preferably your sword, as fast as you can. You will be able to defeat
them all, most likely suffering only one hit. I was able to gain 10
levels in 20 minutes here)
Then go north twice, you should see an Inn above you. Now use the
Battle Axe to chop the trees to your left and then go west twice. Now
go north and into the Item Shop. Buy the Silver Helmet, a set of Keys,
and a set of Mattocks. After exiting the shop, go east twice, north,
east through the trees to the next screen. Then wait until you attack
bar is at the Max and use the Chain Flail to cross the stream. Then go
north, east, use the Chain Flail, and then west. Then go down the vine
and west. Use the Chain Flail to go across the water and then go south.
Now go west and north twice. Then climb the chain and go up into the
Airship
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
4.13 Airship -
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Items Found: Pendant (Temporarily)
Items Needed: 1 Key, 1 Mattock
* Floor 1 * Starting from the deck, go north a screen along the west
side of the mast. Go west, south and through the door.
* B-Floor 2 * Go west three times, north, east and then down the
stairs.
* B-Floor 3 * Now go west a screen, and then south a screen. Walk onto
the odd tile in the northeast corner of the screen and then stand on
the odd tile in the northwest corner. Stairs will appear in the
southeast corner. Now go down the stairs.
* B-Floor 4 * Go west twice, use a Key on the south door, and then go
south. The Girl is being kept in a jail cell. Walk south to the jail
door. Once you do this, the Airship will begin to move. The Girl can't
open the gate, but she thinks she can escape through the window. But...
she will need some help to do this. Now you have to find a path that
will lead to the outside window. Bogard will decide to remain behind
once you try to go north. From the room where the Girl is, go north a
screen, east twice and up the stairs.
* B-Floor 3 * Now go north, west, and then up the stairs.
* B-Floor 2 * Now go south, west three times, and then north. Use a
Mattock on the north pot and go up the stairs.
* Floor 1 * Go east once and then north a screen while staying on left
side of the mast. Then go west twice, south, and then east. Then go
south down the ladder to the next screen. Go east a screen and talk to
the Girl who is leaning out the second window. The Girl will give you
the pendant. Just when the Hero accomplishes his goal, Julius finds the
Hero and the Girl. Julies attacks the bridge with his magic causing you
to fall off the airship and into a town.

Wind Spear - 1150 GP
Amanda, a fellow gladiator and friend, brings you back to her house.
She then nurses you back to health, but before you regain
consciousness, she regretfully steals the pendant. Exit the house and
walk to the Weapon Shop. Buy the Wind Spear! If you talk to the
different people in town, you will hear many interesting facts. The
first one being that Amanda has a brother in Jadd, who plays the harp.
Second that Amanda left town... hmm, I wonder where she went? Lastly,
that there are Chocobo eggs in the north forest.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
4.15 Chocobo -
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Items Found: "Chocobo"
Items Needed: Nothing
From outside of Menos go south twice, go across the bridge, north,
east, north twice, west, north twice, east, south, east, and use the
chain to go across the water.
Search the egg and it will hatch. Once you go back across the chasm,
ASK the Chocobo. You can now ride on the Chocobo. When riding on the
Chocobo, you are not able to kill any monsters, but monsters can't
attack you either.
While you were walking, you might have noticed a group of four Werewolf
monsters. These monsters will let you gain quick and easy levels since
they are always replenished, even if you kill all of them. To kill them
quickly, you must have a throwing type of weapon equipped. Then go to
the screen south of the monsters and wait for your attack bar to max
out. Then go north and let your weapon fly, which will kill all the
creatures in one shot (if you have sufficient Power stats). You can
repeat this over and over again, until you are satisfied with your
level.
From outside Menos, your next destination, Jadd, is (s,s,w,w,n,n,w,n)
(If you are going there directly after getting the Chocobo, from the
first bridge you crossed earlier, go (w,w,n,n,w,n)

Davias, the ruler of the city, has a bad reputation. Davias's house is
in the northwest section of town. When questioned, Davias says that
there is a Medusa in the cave that Amanda went to. The bird that is
next to Davias is Amanda's brother! If you talk to the boy next to the
Item shop, he says that he will trade you his clue for a Bag of Fang.
Fight outside of Jadd until you find a Bag of Fang. The lizard monster
will drop it. Talk to the boy and give him the Bag of Fang. He says,
"palm trees, and 8".
There is a Magic shop (s,e,s,s,w,w,n) of Jadd. It offers some magical
items, if you want to buy them. (I didn't) There is also an Inn (s,e,e)
of Medusa's Cave. Once you are done purchasing equipment, and gaining
levels, head to the Cave of Medusa. The cave is located
(s,e,s,s,e,s,s,w,n) of outside Jadd.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
4.17 Medusa's Cave -
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Items Found: Gold Armor, Ice Spell, Amanda's Tears
Items Needed: Mattock, 2 Keys
Dismount from your Chocobo. Now walk a sideways figure 8 around the
palm trees. (You might have to do it 2 or 3 times until the cave opens)
- - - - (x) = Palm tree
- x - x - (-) = Path you walk
- - - -
Walk into the cave and you will see Amanda. She says she took the
Pendant in exchange for her brother. Despite this, Davias cursed her
brother changing him into a parrot. Amanda is looking for the Tears of
Medusa. After a short discussion Amanda will join your group.
* Floor 1 * From where you found Amanda, go south and use a Mattock on
the south wall. Then go south through the new entrance. Then go west
twice, south, west twice and north three times. Then go west, use a
Key, south, and kill all the enemies in the room. Then open the chest
for a suit of Gold Armor. Then go north, east and use a Key on the
north door. Then go north through the now open door. There are two odd
tiles here. The one closet to the bottom opens the door, and the other
one closes the door. Have your Chain Flail weapon equipped. Go west,
and then onto the bottom patch of ice, which will bring you onto the
first odd tile. Then use the Chain Flail on the post to the east. Now
go east to the next screen. Open the treasure for the Ice Spell. Now go
west and south three times. (If you want, you can use a Key on the west
door. Go through the door and go to the bottom of the pond. It will
restore your HP and MP) From the room adjacent to the recovery
fountain, go south, east and use a Mattock on the north wall. Go
through the wall, and then move the frozen snowman onto the tile. (If
you mess up, the far right ice square will let you back down) Then go
north through the door. Use your Ice Spell to freeze and enemy. Then
push the frozen enemy onto the odd tile. (Be careful, because Amanda
might accidentally destroy the snowman that you just made, and this
time, you have to use the usual method to have the monsters
replenished) Then go north through the door, and down the stairs.
* Floor 2 * Now go north and down the stairs.
* Floor 3 * Climb down the vine, and just before you go west, heal-up,
and save your game. Go west and the Medusa will appear.

leave, Amanda says she was injured and will soon turn into a Medusa.

you will be transported out of the cave.

BOSS Name: Davias
Recommended Level: 30
GP: 98
EXP gained: 95
Attacks: Throws Fireballs
Best Equipment: Were Axe, Cure Spell
Items Gained: None
Strategy: Davias is protected by four circling balls of flame. He
attacks by shooting a ball of flame at you. He moves east and west
across the top of the screen. There are two approaches to defeating
Davias. The quickest way is to stay between the circle of fireballs
surrounding Davias, and just keep on slashing him with your Were Axe.
The longer way to kill Davias is to stay at the bottom of the screen
and dodge the fireballs Davias releases. Once your weapon is powered up
let it fly at Davias. I have defeated Davias this way and have not been
hit by Davias's fireballs once.
_______________________________________________________________________
After Davias dies you are transported back to the town of Jadd.

EXP gained: 104
Attacks: None
Best Equipment: Were Axe, Cure Spell
Items Gained: None
Strategy: The Metal Crab moves across the top/bottom of the screen. It
will them move diagonally to the opposite side. Luckily, there is a
very easy method to beating this enemy. First, go to the upper left
corner of the screen. The Metal Crab is unable to hit you from here.
Equip the Were Axe and wait until your Will Meter is maxed out. Then
move down and throw your axe at the Metal Crab's head. If you are
careful you should be to defeat him without getting.
_______________________________________________________________________
Once the Metal Crab is beaten go down the stairs.
* BFloor 2 * Go west three times and up the stairs.
Once you are out of the cave, go west, south, east, and south. (You can

go south three times, and east. Go to the bottom of the pond and it
will restore your HP and MP. Now go west, and north (stay to the
right). Then go east, north and east. Take the vine farthest to the
right and go north. Then go north and into the Weapon Shop. Buy all new
armor and climb south to the bottom of the cliff. Now take left vine
and climb north three times. Then go west and use the Axe to chop down
the trees to the west. Walk to the north side of the trees and then go
east, north twice, east, south, south (use the axe), east, north and
into the Golem Cave

Items Found: Morning Star, Lit Spell
Items Needed: 1 Mattock, 2 Keys

directions, you should have no problem going through this cave. This
cave contains many screens that warp you back to the first screen.
* Floor 1 * Go north, east twice, and use a Mattock on the north wall.
Go north and then west. On this screen there are four treasure chests
and four odd tiles. Place one treasure box onto a tile and then knock
it off the tile to open the door. Go north and then east. Use a Key to
open the door and go through it. Go east, south three times, east twice
and up the stairs.
* Floor 2 * Now save your game and heal-up. Go east to begin the
battle.
____________________________________________________________________
BOSS Name: Cyclops
Recommended Level: 37
GP: 63
EXP gained: 71
Attacks: Mace
Best Equipment: Were Axe, Cure Spell
Items Gained: Morning Star
Strategy: The Cyclops moves to three main points, each of which is on
the east side of the screen. Occasionally he will charge horizontally.
Stay below him as he charges across the screen and use the Were Axe to
hit him. Once he reaches the bottom of the screen go above him. Then
hit him as he makes his way up. Follow this general pattern until the
monster is defeated.
_______________________________________________________________________
Once he is vanquished open the treasure for a Morning Star. Equip this
weapon, which adds +10 to your attack. This weapon also is able to
break down the same objects and walls your Mattock can... so you can
now get rid of all your Mattocks.
* Floor 1 * Now go west three times and you will be back at the
entrance. Go north, heal-up and save your game. Use a Key on the door
and go north.
____________________________________________________________________

EXP gained: 172
Attacks: None
Best Equipment: Morning Star, Cure Spell
Items Gained: Spell Book of Lit
Strategy: The only weapon that you should be using to defeat the Golem
is the Morning Star. The Golem can charge vertically and diagonally.
Stay at the bottom of the screen for the entire battle. When he charges
down move out of the way and hit him with the Morning Star. Do this
until the Golem dies.
_______________________________________________________________________
He will give you the spell Lit. Now go north, use the Morning Star on
the rocks and go up the stairs to the next floor.
* Floor 2 * Climb the vine and go east. Then try to go into the cave.
Just as you try, the bridge behind you collapses. Your character then
comes out next to a waterfall. Now go east twice and into the castle.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
4.21 Dark Castle -
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Items Found: Blood Sword, Pendant (Fake)
Items Needed: 3 Keys

____________________________________________________________________
BOSS Name: Chimera
Recommended Level: 40
GP: 21
EXP gained: 90
Attacks: Fireballs
Best Equipment: Morning Star, Cure Spell
Items Gained: None
Strategy: The monster flies above you and drops two flaming bombs with
its wings. Soon after doing this, the Chimera will fly down in a
zigzagging type motion. The method that I used to defeat the Chimera
was to simply stand near the top of the screen and attack as quickly as
I could, curing occasionally. This worked well enough for me, so I am
leaving it up to you if you want to fight the Chimera a different way.
_______________________________________________________________________
Once the monster is defeated, go down the stairs found in the southwest
corner of the screen.
* Floor 2 * You are now in the Girl's prison cell. The Girl will run up
to you and join your group. She tells you that the Dark Lord took her
pendant. Remember, now that the girl is with you, she can heal your HP
when you ASK her. Now go down the stairs.
* Floor 1 * Then climb up the stairs to the north.
* Floor 2 * Now go south down the steps to the next screen.
* Floor 1 * Then go west a screen and walk into the building. You can
refresh yourself on the bed and buy whatever you need from the Item
Shop. Exit the building and go east. Now walk north up the steps to the
next floor.
* Floor 2 * Now go west three times, south, and into the door.
* Floor 3 * Quickly walk across the spikes. Use a Key on the door and
go north. Then go east and use a Mattock/Morning Star on the north
wall. Then go north through the hole. Go west and then use the Chain
Flail to cross over to the odd tile. Stand on the odd tile and a
staircase will appear. Go down the stairs.
* Floor 2 * Now go north, east, south twice, east, use a Key on the
door and go east. Kill the enemies and go to the bed to restore your HP
and MP. Then go west three times. The room here has four empty chests
on the odd tiles. Do not knock any of them off or the stairs will
vanish. I used the Chain Flail to kill the monsters in the room. Now go
down the stairs.
* Floor 1 * Go east twice and use a Mattock on the east wall. Now go
east through the opening you just made. Then go east, north, and up the
stairs.
* Floor 2 * Go south, east, and kill all the enemies. Open the chest
for the Blood Sword. Then go west, north, and use a Mattock on the
north wall. Go north through the opening and use as Key on the door. Go
east through the now open door and go up the stairs.
* Floor 3 * Go south and west twice. Now freeze two monsters using the
Ice spell, and put the snowmen on the odd tiles. Then go down the
stairs.
* Floor 2 * Go west, north, and up the stairs.
* Floor 3 * Then go north, west, heal-up and save your game. Then go up
the stairs.
* Floor 2 * The Dark Lord is at the top of the castle. The Girl will
leave and the fight will begin.

him until he is defeated. He is very easy to defeat.
_______________________________________________________________________
Go south down the stairs. The Girl is gone, mostly likely stolen away
by Julius. Your character will automatically exit the castle. As soon
as you are outside the castle, you see the Girl walking across the
screen. Your character shouts to her, but she can't hear you. Follow
her west to the waterfall.
The Girl is by the edge of the falls! The Hero asks what is wrong, but
the Girl doesn't respond. Then Julius appears between you and the Girl.
Apparently, he has hypnotized the Girl! He tells the Girl to use the
pendant so the waterfall will be reversed. Once the waterfall starts to
flow backwards, Julius will zap you with his magical power. Your
character then falls down the waterfall AGAIN!

Your Chocobo finds you and brings you to a house in Ish. You wake up
and find Bogard lying in a bed next to you. Bogard tells the Hero what
befell him after he fell from the airship. The Hero will then jump out
of bed and begins to doubt his ability to be a hero. After confessing
his problems to Bogard, he runs out of the house. Once you are outside,
go and buy some new equipment at the Weapon Shop. Then talk to Sarah
who is blocking your path. She says that Bogard broke his back and is
unable to move. She tells the hero that he is everyone's only hope and
that she believes in him. She also mentions that the Chocobo is being
fixed up at Doctor Bowow's house.
Go west twice and into the house. You will hear some very strange
noises just before you enter. While talking to Dr. Bowow, you will
discover that your Chocobo can now go on water with his new mechanized
legs. The Chocobo also has a new name, Chocobot! Once you exit the
house, talk to Bogard once again. Bogard tells you that since Julius
has Mana, you will need to find the sword Excalibur if you want to
defeat him. He also tells you to go back to Wendel and ask Cibba for
more information. Now go back to Dr. Bowow for some directions on how
to get to Wendel.

Exit the town and climb onto your Chocobot. If you want, there is a
Magic Shop west of Ish. They do sell X-Ether's there, so you might want
to consider buying some.
Otherwise, go (w,w,n,n,w) from outside of Ish. Walk onto the pier and
step out into the water. Then go east seven times, north twice, and
then walk onto the pier. Then go north twice and go into Wendel. Go

you need to buy weapons and armor.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Items Found: Nothing
Items Needed: Nothing
If you want, you can pick up an armor and shield upgrade at a new shop.
This is not necessary to do now, but it will help. There are two
different sets of directions below, depending upon where your starting

4.26 Ice Cave -
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Items Found: Elixir, Ice Sword
Items Needed: 2 Keys
From the outside of Lorim go south, west, north twice, west, (chop the
trees), and go north four screens. If you need some equipment, there is

west, south, and east twice. Now go into the cave.
* Floor 1 * Go north, walk counter-clockwise around the ice and go
north. Go walk to the odd tile and step on it. Go south to the wall and
wait for the snowman. Then push him north onto the odd tile. Go east,
use the Flame Chain and go north. Use the Chain to cross the ice and go
west. Use a Key on the north door and go north. Go east, east, use a
Key on the door, go north, and then walk up the stairs.
* Floor 2 * Go north, west, and onto the ice. Once you are off the ice
walk around the rocks and get back onto the ice. Once you have stopped
sliding you should be in a room with stairs going down. Now take the
bottom left ice path south. Once you are off the ice, walk around the
rocks and back on the ice. Once you are off the ice go onto the single
path of ice in the middle, which will take you west. Once you are off
the ice use a Mattock/ Morning Star on the north wall. Then go north,
and up the stairs.
* Floor 3 * Use a Mattock/Morning Star on the north wall. Go north to

____________________________________________________________________
BOSS Name: Kary
Recommended Level: 46
GP: 129
EXP gained: 181
Attacks: Icicle Throw, Tail Lash
Best Equipment: Flame Chain, Cure Spell
Items Gained: Ice Sword
Strategy: Kary is only vulnerable in the head region. Also, your Flame
Chain is able to destroy the icicles she throws at you. While fighting,
you may note that you aren't losing much HP when you are hit... this is
because of the Ice Armor that you purchased earlier! Kary's basic
movement pattern is to slither up and down on the right side of the
screen. While doing this, she shoots icicles across the screen and can
moves horizontally across the screen. She moves horizontally in three
different spots, top/middle/bottom. The best tactic to use is to stay
either above or below her and hit her head. When Kary finishes moving
across the middle ice, make your move to the opposite direction of
where Kary is moving.
_______________________________________________________________________
Once Kary is defeated a treasure chest will appear. Open the chest for
the Ice Sword and a transport out of the cave.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
4.27 Lich Cave -

Items Found: Bone Key, Nuke Spell
Items Needed: Nothing
Now walk back to Lorim. (w,w,n,e,n,n,w,w,s,s,s,s,e,s,s,e,n,n) Go north
into the throne room and talk to the king. Now you need to talk to
Cibba who is (s,e,n). He gives you the Bone Key and tells you to go to
a cave in the Plain of Floating Rocks to find the Legendary Sword.
Although the Hero is supposed to get the Legendary Sword now, I think
it is better to get the Nuke spell first. From the outside Lorim go
(s,w,n,n,w,s), go into the water, (n,n,n,n,w,n,n,w,w,w,n,n) get onto
dry land, (w,s,w,s,w,n) and into the cave.
* Floor 1 * Go down the stairs.

* B-Floor 3 * Now heal-up and save your game. Walk north to fight the
Lich.

BOSS Name: Lich
Recommended Level: 48
GP: 220
EXP gained: 198
Attacks: Skulls
Best Equipment: Morning Star, Cure Spell
Items Gained: Nuke Spell
Strategy: The Lich moves in a figure eight pattern. He will
occasionally deviate from the pattern, flying off the screen and
reappearing on the other side of the screen. He will then start the
figure eight pattern again. The best strategy is to have your Cure
spell equipped and have the Morning Star equipped. Just stand in the
middle of the screen and strike the Lich. The most damaging weapon that
the Lich possess are his flying skulls. However, the Morning Star and
other weapons will destroy the skulls that the Lich throws. If you hit
the Lich at the right time it will pass right over you without dealing
damage. If you do this properly the Hero won't take damage. Watch your
HP and just hit the Lich alternating with the Cure Spell until the Lich
dies. This is one of the toughest bosses, so if you die, keep on trying
until you win.
_______________________________________________________________________
Once the Lich is defeated you will get the final magic spell, Nuke.

Strategy: The Kraken comes from beneath you and uses its tentacles to
stab at your character. The best strategy is to stand directly above
the Kraken and stab down as fast as you can at the Kraken's head. The
shield will stop about 50% of the Kraken's tentacle blows. If you run
low on HP, use the Cure Spell. Also, the Kraken's explosion might
damage your character! Once the Kraken is defeated, a new entrance will
appear.

ball, if you strike directly at his center.

Once the Iflyte dies you get the Rusty Sword. After your character
exits the cave, take you're Chocobot with you and go back to Cibba. He
tells you to find the Key to Dime Tower, and to talk to Dr. BowowSo now
go to Ish and talk to Dr. Bowow. Dr. Bowow says you can use the Nuke

BOSS Name: Mantis Ant
Recommended Level: 53
GP: 228
EXP gained: 219
Attacks: Pincers
Best Equipment: Dragon Sword , Cure Spell
Items Gained: None
Strategy: This fight is very easy, but remember that those spikes take
off a massive amount of HP! The Mantis Ant will stay near the top of
the screen and occasionally zigzag down at you. Use your sword on him
when he is at the top of the screen and dodge him when he comes down to
attack you. However, there is a much easier way to defeat this boss.
Have your Fire Spell equipped when you enter the battle. As soon as you
enter the screen don't move. Nothing will be able to hit you, and you
can cast the Fire Spell at the monster. I was able to win with 20 uses
of the spell.
_______________________________________________________________________
When you kill the Mantis Ant the east door opens. Go through the door
and equip the Rusty Sword. Then stand on the odd tile. The power of the
Rusty Sword is released and the Dime Tower will be raised.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

By about this time you should be around level 55-60. From outside the
Cave of Ruins go south twice, east, south, and west. Try to walk across
the screen, and Dime Tower will rise up from the sands.
Or if you need to re-supply, go back to Ish. From outside of Ish, the
Dime Tower is south and west twice.
As soon as you walk in, Dr. Bowow's robot Marcie will join you. If you
ASK him he recovers your MP. There are tablets scattered throughout the
tower. I recommend reading them if you want to read about the story
line of this game. The directions I give do not include directions to
the tablets. If you are interested in reading them, use the map of this
tower.
* Floor 1 * Go west, north twice, east, and use a Mattock/Morning Star
on the east wall. Go through east, north, west, and up the stairs.

restored. Go north and up the stairs.
* Floor 6 * There are two monsters surrounded by trees to your south.
You need to freeze both monsters, which can be difficult, since you
don't want to kill them when you chop down the trees. Position your
character in the bottom corners, facing the walls away from the trees.
Now swing your Axe and the trees will be chopped and the enemies
unharmed. Now freeze the monsters and go north. Use a Key on the door
and go east. Go south and up the stairs.

BOSS Name: Garuda
Recommended Level: 55
GP: 265
EXP gained: 221
Attacks: Feathers
Best Equipment: Flame Chain , Cure Spell
Items Gained: None
Strategy: Garuda will dive across the screen and throw feathers at you.
Garuda will also swoop down to the middle of the screen and drop more
feathers on you. The trick is to wait in the corner below, but at a
striking distance where the tip of your Flame Chain just reaches
Garuda. Use your Flame Chain to destroy the feathers Garuda drops and
to hit Garuda himself. When he swoops down he will miss you. Then go to
the other corner and attack Garuda again. Follow this pattern until the
monster is defeated.
_______________________________________________________________________
Once Garuda is killed go west twice. Just as you are ready to walk on
land, a part of the tower collapses. Marcie tells you that he will
throw you over and then jump himself. After he throws you across the
gap, the hero tells Marcie to jump. Sadly, Marcie is unable to... The
tower will then collapse carrying Marcie with it. The robot's last
words are for you to save the world. Once the tower collapses go west
three times to the waterfall. The waterfall fall will reverse its flow.
Walk into the waterfall and it will carry you up to the top of the
mountain.
