Hello gamers and welcome to another of my guides. As always my goal is to make you progress through the game as quickly as possible while completing all the sidequests. And there are quite a few of them in the game: the Old Cave, the dragon eggs and getting ALL the treasures – there are quite a few of them, and I even missed a few (they can be hidden ANYWHERE, from flower beds to book shelves). There are also a few instances where “running around in circles” to gain experience will be worth it. So never thrown Foul Water away; they will make you fight every step you take (every move you make… oh, forget it!) and with savestates you can control what the enemies are, making sure the profitable enemies show up.

Finally, you will visit the Fortress of Doom 3 times during the game, and the layout is exactly the same. The only difference is when you visit it underwater; there will be no treasure chest to obtain.

Final dungeon: Fortress of Doom

Walk left to get power potion, go downstairs, enter the middle corridor to mind option, great potion and speed potion. Walk right and upstairs, take spell potion and go back to the main hall to go upstairs. Take the right corridor to power potion, go back to the main hall, follow the path up, take the left corridor to spell potion and go back to go upstairs. Go around the promontory to get miracle *2 (the stairs going down lead to healing panels); come back where you came from and go straight up between statues of the Sinistrals. Circle the room before crossing the glass bridge to get miracle *3. Cross the glass bridge for dialogues. Go on the portal, cross the glass bridge and be ready for your boss fights (note that you will have a “break” between each of them, so heal if necessary).

Boss fight: Gades

A purely physical Sinistral so no need to cast mirror. Just have Guy and Maxim attack and have Selan and Artea cast their strongest spells (don’t forget dread to lower physical defense), healing as needed. He will quickly become history. After the fight, walk one step for your next fight.

Boss fight: Amon

He does use magic so cast mirror on everyone, starting with Guy and Maxim (whose magic defense is lower). Use the same strategy as with Gades and he’s also quickly history. Walk one step to face a more dangerous boss.

Boss fight: Erim

She is almost purely magical, so use physical attacks. Be sure to cast mirror, and watch out when she casts mirror on herself. But considering your overleveling, you should dispose of her quickly. Walk one step to face the final boss

Boss fight: Daos

Cast mirror and pummel him as hard as you can. After the fight watch a long scene that goes into the present with Maxim’s descendant.

PART 1: THE RETURN OF THE SINISTRALS

Village: Alekia

Once you gain control, walk up straight into the castle. Walk straight to the middle backroom and look at the book shelves to get a swing wing and escape. The left room has an arrow in a chest. Go back towards the entrance, go upstairs and go towards the back. The middle back room has a potion while the one of the left also has a potion. Go back towards the stairs and go up again. Talk with the princess to get 100 gold. Follow the right-hand wall and go downstairs to eventually get sweet water (fewer enemies), antidote and revive. Go back up, talk with the King and go to the left-hand room to get a bracelet and stuffed bear. Exit the castle. Go upstairs in Roman’s inn to get dress. The dresser inside the weapon shop has potion. Now go outside.

If you want to minimize your going to the inn (for end-of-game stats), enter the shrine southwest of Alekia to heal. Otherwise, walk straight up north and enter a village.

Village: Chatam

The house above the item shop has a smoke ball (instant escape except from bosses). Exit the village, walk up straight and enter the cave you see on your left.

Dungeon: cave to Sheran

Just walk left, go up the rope ladder and follow the path up to exit. After that, enter straight into Sheran.

Village: Sheran

Be sure to talk to all the people lying on the ground. Enter the castle. The left room has chests with potion*4. Go up one floor; the room on the right has arrow*2, mid arrow and revive while the room on the left has foul water and sweet water.

Exit the village and walk/warp back to Alekia. Go back to your captain’s room (first floor, left-had back room). Go to Roman’s inn, talk to him and go upstairs to Lufia. Exit the village for a scene where Lufia joins your party. Go back to the cave.

Go back into the throne room. Enter the left-hand room to lower a switch and the right-hand one to get 100 gold. Exit the room, follow the left-hand wall and enter the room to go downstairs. Always walk so you go downstairs, and you will eventually free the King. The bookshelf in his room has a great potion. Exit the castle and enter an unwinnable fight against Gades (kill yourself to accelerate the process). After the fight and a scene, you will automatically be in Alekia. Walk up straight for a dialogue. Go to the castle (2^nd floor) and go to the back room to get Lilah back. Now go to Chatam and walk straight right.

Follow the straightforward path, taking the cloth shoes on the first floor. Follow the path through a door; enter it and take the swing wing on your left. Keep walking up to exit the cave.

The house is right by the cave. Enter it, go towards the house for a scene. Explore Guy’s tomb to get a short sword. The bookshelf inside the house has a great option. Go back to Treck and enter the port. Walk left and talk to the guy with green hair (Aguro). After a dialogue he will join you to fight. Being around level 7-8 should do.

Boss fight: Demon Lord *4

Talk to the man, say yes and be ready to fight alone. Being around level 11 should do.

Boss battle: Apprentice

Make sure you have a few hi potions at hand – he will cast fake to be quicker and can even attack twice per round. Use a power gourd to increase your attack – hi arrows should deal about the same amount of damage as your increased attack. His Jolt is very strong; he may even use potions. Just keep hitting him until he goes down.

After the fight, go behind the room where you were to the right to get mid arrow *2. Leap outside the tower

Go above the chest to fall in a trap, leap down, walk down, walk right into the room and follow the path until there’s a room above you. Enter it, walk right into a trap and go downstairs. Simply walk down and exit the tower. NOW go into Bakku

Village: Bakku

Talk with the sailor you first see. Enter the house above him to get ex potion, ex magic and revive. Talk to the old man and go back outside. The priest’s hut is in the port. Talk with the priest and warp to Grenoble to go to the Old Cave, 5^th level. So even if you didn’t reach it, the man assigning the missions will let you go.

Walk across the toxic marsh, enter the room, walk to the far right, enter that room and cross the poison field to get Cooper. Warp outside and get back to Carbis.

Go talk to Shaia for a dialogue.

PART 4.2: THE QUEST FOR ALUMINA

Before going on with your mission, surely someone is at least at level 25. Go back to the Old Cave.

Dungeon: Old Cave, level 6

Open the chest for nothing, hi bomb (*2), nothing and hi bomb. Enter the room to get nothing, gladius, plate cloth, plate mail, power potion, speed potion and spell potion. Go back, get nothing and enter the next room. Get escape, go down the ladder and get ex magic and ex potion in the poison field. Don’t forget the miracle here . Keep walking east to get plate helm, nothing (*2) and revive. Go back to the poison field and keep walking left to get nothing and hammer rod. Go downstairs and get power gourd, ex magic, nothing, ex potion, knife shoes and needle heels. Go upstairs and get mind gourd, power gourd, nothing, miracle here , blast ring, nothing, miracle gem and nothing. Warp back outside to get your reward. Now go back to Bakku and navigate back to the Tower of Light.

Dungeon: Tower of Light redux

Since you already have all the treasures, follow this path: follow the right-hand wall up, go upstairs, follow the right-hand wall down, enter the room to go upstairs, go northeast upstairs, go down, follow the path and enter the room above the stairs, follow the path upstairs for a couple of floors (on the red carpet, go up) and get ready for a fight on the top floor. Being at level 26 should do.

Boss fight: Guardian

Drain his defense as always. He can cast dread, blizzard, absorb and flame. He’s fairly easy if you can withstand his magic. After the fight get the light key from the chest. Leap down, go back inside and go to the back to use the light key. Just follow the path to get to the next village.

Village: Linze

The weapon shop (upstairs) has escape. Enter the house to the far right of the shop, go downstairs and down the red corridor to get swing wing, dragon egg and sweet water. Go back to the main corridor and you will eventually be outside. Just walk east to enter a cave.

Dungeon: Gayas Cave

Go up to the chests to get escape and stone cure. Hug the left-hand wall down to get ex bomb and ex potion. Hug the wall back up, go around a hole with a chest in it and walk down to get ex bomb and revive. Walk to steps up, go right and walk up to get hi magic and ex potion. Go down the rope ladder, go up the next one and follow the path to get escape and magic guard. Go back down, go to the right of the “promontory” and take the first door. Get ex potion and ex magic; go back down and enter the second room to lower a switch. Enter the first room to get ex potion; warp back to exit this room. Go downstairs and walk left to get ex arrows. Walk back right, up between poison marsh and get revive. Walk back down, hugging the wall to the right. Before going into that room walk up to get opal. Now enter the room to get ex potion and warp to eventually get silver sword. Warp back and walk up straight to the next room. Follow the path and when you can, walk down to go downstairs. Follow that path, going down two ladders. Walk right to get power gourd, walk southeast to get mind gourd and walk back down the next rope ladders. Just walk east, getting the revive before the bridge and restoring your hp southeast of the bridge afterwards. Walk to the back and talk to the man there; ask him about Brant.

Escape the cave to go back to the entrance. Go immediately downstairs, walk left to an ex bomb, walk right to a dragon egg, southwest to a hi magic and go down the rope ladder close to the stairs. You will get your first piece of alumina. Exit the cave and warp back to Bakku. Enter your boat and navigate east following the coastline. Go north of the healing shrine, going between two mountains, and follow the coastline west, not taking the small river you see for now and enter the next village.

Village: Marse

Go downstairs and go towards the “weapon” shop to talk to the woman in the church. Power up as needed and exit the city. Jump in your boat, follow the coastline west and enter the small river you will see. Follow it and you will eventually see a castle.

Village: Herat

The first house (NE of the man calling you strangers) has rod and apron. The inn (south) has plum cider and hi potion. Enter the castle, go directly upstairs and enter the NW back room to get ex bomb. Go upstairs again and enter the first room to get power potion. Exit the city, navigate north of the mountains and land on the west shore right after the mountains. Walk west, following the mountains. Walk around the lake you see, walk south to cross a bridge, walk NE to cross another bridge and go around the mountain to the right to go into a cave.

Dungeon: Purple Newt Cave

Take the revive right when you enter. Go down the rope ladder and walk right to get gloom arrow. Go down the rope ladder, walk right and go up when you can to get engage ring (cheaper merchandise when worn). Go back down and enter the next room to your right to lower the switch. Go back to the entrance, staying on the same level as the first chest. Walk down to a bridge, cross it and get chain mail. Cross back the bridge, take the first corridor on your right, go down two rope ladders and get swing wing, ex potion and hi bomb. Go back up one ladder, go south to go down another one and walk to the far left to get stone cure. Enter the first room to get revive. Go in the poison marsh  to get grilled newt (*3) and miracle. Walk to the far right to climb a rope ladder to get stun arrow. Go back down and walk to the room you missed; go on the warp pad to get to power gourd and purple newt. Exit the cave and warp back to Linze.

Go back in the very bottom of the house on the promontory and talk to the man in red. Exit town and warp back to Herat. Enter the castle kitchen (second floor, back-right) and talk with the cook. After go in the throne room (up two floors) and talk with the king. After that go back to the entrance and walk right; follow the path to go into the treasure room. You will get gloom voice, ex potion, plum cider, royal statue, fry pan, pot, miracle (*2), alumina, mach heels, carbo helm, tower shield, silver robe and carbo sword. Exit town, warp back to Marse and jump in your boat. Navigate straight up, go right of the island with a cave (Elba) and go south of the tiny island you see (there is a boat next to it) to start your quest for alumina.

Dungeon: Loire Island

This is the perfect place to “run in circles.” There are many red cores in here, and if you manage to defeat them they are worth over 13,000 XP each.

Anyway, as you enter walk right until you get miracle. Keep walking right to go down a rope ladder to get hi magic. Go NW up a rope ladder to get mach ring; go back down, take revive and walk right to a rope ladder. Take gloom arrow on the right and walk left to get power potion from behind the rope ladder. Go up that ladder and walk right; go down a ladder to get hi bomb. Enter the room to the NE to get alumina.

Escape outside and enter right back. Walk up, go down the ladder and walk right to get mind potion here . Get great potion from the chest on the right, go up the rope ladder and walk NW to get ex potion. Go across the bridge you saw on the promontory (on the right side) and walk left (up a ladder) to revive and power potion.

Escape again and walk to the right. Go down the long rope ladder you see and follow the left-hand wall under the bridge and downstairs. Walk down into a room for ex potion. Walk NE around the “grid” for revive. Enter the next room you see, follow the path and hug the wall to the right to get hi bomb. Walk up into a trap, get ex magic here  and go to the NE room for revive. Go south to get sweet water, west to get float and NW to save Brant. Talk to him once outside and get back inside. Walk right, down the ladder, up, down the ladder, left, up the ladder and NW to some stairs. Get foul water; keep walking left for gloom arrow, far down for miracle, right for a power potion and right to get 1000 gold, spell potion, gloom arrow and escape. Go downstairs, walk right, up and left to get hi bomb. Go back right, up for a great potion, left into a room with hi magic and ex magic. Now is the time to escape for good. If you want, you can now visit Forfeit Island. Just warp to Surindagal and navigate a short distance to the NE.

Village: Forfeit Island

The item shop had hi magic and hi potion. If you walk around the building, go downstairs and down (on a green carpet), you will get mind ring. THE forfeit shop is left of the stairs on the second floor. If you need something you sold, that’s where you get it. Enter the tavern to get gown and ribbon; you will also need to buy something in order to get out. When you’re done, warp back to Marse and navigate to Elba Island.

Dungeon: Elba and Ulupp Islands

As you heard, both islands and linked by warp zones so I put them together. Walk right to enter a room with mind potion. Take the warp, go down the ladder and walk NE to get hipower ring. Keep walking left, follow the path and go under a bridge to ex potion and speed potion. Walk SE to lower a switch, keep walking right to dragon egg and walk back to the warp.

Walk down the ladder, get the smoke ball and walk down the other ladder to get hi daze ring. Enter the room to the right, lower the switch on the right, cross the bridge on your left and walk down to get ex potion. Keep walking left to exit the room. Enter the next room to your right and follow the path to get spell potion. Exit the room and enter the one on the far left. Go down the ladder, walk up for miracle and ex magic, go under the bridge to get hi bomb and enter the room on the far right to warp to alumina. Exit this section and go down the ladder to get mind potion. Walk right (the room has an inn, 100 gold) to get silver rod; keep walking right to enter a room with silver armor and ex potion. Exit the room, go up the long ladder, get the spell potion and walk up to warp.

Walk right to a silver wrist. Keep walking right to alumina and walk down the bridge to get miracle and silver plate. Warp back, lower the switch this time and warp again. Walk right to ex potion, SW into a room with alumina and (finally!) outside. Warp to Carbis, enter the building and warp back to Marse. Navigate north to Elba, and then west until you see an island with a boat. Enter the tower

Dungeon: Ainsen Tower

Get the sour cider when you enter. Enter the room on your left, get 750 gold, enter the next room, get hi potion and enter the next room to go upstairs. Follow the right-hand wall, going down as far as you can to get ex potion. Go back up, enter the left room and get big arrow. Come back, enter the middle room and go upstairs. Go up to swing wing, left to smoke ball and around the room to the left to go upstairs. Walk left and you will see switches

 5

1 2

3 4

The correct order is 1-4-3-2-5 (any other order will make enemies appear). Enter through the door and follow the path to your next fight. I overleveled at Loire, so Level 37 for Jerin should do.

Boss battle: Bosun and Pirates

Focus your energy on Bosun first since he can cure Pirates and increase his defense. Pirates can cast foul (put to sleep), storm and stun (increase attack). His defense is pretty low so have your girls cast magic instead of drain.

After the fight get silver tarot and pirate key. Go back down to the 2^nd floor, go to the stairs leading to the 1^st floor and walk left. Get power gourd and keep walking left until you reach Raile’s cell. Open the one of the right for heavy ring and the next rooms for speed potion and hi bomb. Get a revive at the bottom of the room and walk right to a trap. Get ex potion, walk right into a trap and you will be back on the first floor. Go back to Raile’s cell, open it and you will warp outside. Warp to Carbis and go to the basement to have your boat fitted. When back in control navigate north to an island surrounded by “eddies”. Go northeast to go in the next village.

Village: Soshette

Enter the hole in the ground left of the stairs leading to the church to get miracle, straw doll and gloom arrow. With that doll, you can go back to Forfeit, to the underground passage on the opposite side of the entrance. Walk up (instead on towards the green floor) and talk with the man behind the counter. He will make you a Voice of gloom (not sure if it counts as a treasure), which casts death to enemies. Warp back to Soshette, get in your boat and navigate west to enter the first eddy you see.

Dungeon: Underwater caves

I will put them all together. Note that currents are so strong that once on it, you can’t control your submarine until you reach the end of it.

Go east and enter the first cave you see. Go straight east, take the empty bottle and take the eddy. Go straight south, left of a current going down; keep going down to get magic guard. Take the current directly under the chest, then navigate NE to get opal. Take the current to your left to get miracle. Navigate down to the wall and take the current to your right. Navigate W, take the current against the wall and come a short way back to get hi potion. Take the eddy and navigate SW into another cave.

Follow the path, take potion and keep hugging the right-hand wall down. Do it and take the current you see between two walls. Take the ex potion and spell potion and take the current below. Once back in control hug the upper wall up to arrows. Keep hugging the lower wall east and get power potion. Go back to the previous chest and navigate straight W (take the current going W if you want) to get hi potion. Navigate back to the start of the current (going west) and take it when it goes north; you will get to mystery pin. Hug the upper wall to go back near the Fortress of Doom. Navigate east to explore the last cave.

Avoid the current and follow the upper wall north to get 800 gold. Navigate straight east, take the current and come back to its source to get hi magic. Take that current back, hug the wall to your left down and follow it. When it ends take the first current above you and go slightly NE at its end to get gloom arrow and foul water. Navigate SE to the wall and hug it to the left to get zircon wrist. Navigate back, still hugging the wall, and go down a small passage you see to enter an eddy. Hug the wall in that room below the currents, enter the small room to get hi potion and miracle. If you keep going up you will go outside the vicinity of the Fortress. So go back to the eddy, hug the lower wall to the left, take the current going west, take the eddy and go to the Fortress.

Dungeon: Sunken Fortress

Since there are no treasure chests, just take the straight route: walk straight upstairs, walk up straight to another room, walk through the room, walk straight down up more stairs and walk straight some more for a long scene. When it’s done go upstairs and exit Soshette to warp back to Carbis.

PART 5: RESTORING PEACE

PART 5.1: THE FLYING FALCON

Talk with Shaia and exit town. Navigate due south of town and you will eventually reach the next town.

Village: Frederia (Shaia Lab 4)

The flower bed has grilled newt in the middle to your left. The one on the right has miracle. Go in the lab (upper-right corner of the village) to get revive and stone cure from the lockers. After powering up exit the village. Navigate due west, following the path of the rocks. Once you see an opening between two mountains navigate south around a peninsula. Keep navigating west and you will eventually reach the next village.

Village: Epro

The first house to the right has ex bomb. There is power potion in the flower bed above the regular item shop (on the promontory, NW of town). The old man’s house right next to it has ex magic. Now go to the “other” item shop (NE of the entrance) and talk with the owner. Exit town. Navigate west of Epro, following the coastline. When you see a bridge, land and walk east to a man standing there. Talk to him, warp back to Epro and navigate east along the coastline. Go between the mountains and up when you can to enter the eddy.

Dungeon: Submarine cave to Oil Cave

Navigate east to enter the cave “proper” (there is nothing to explore). Go all the way up when you first can to get big arrow and power potion. Come back and go up the second corridor. Follow the path to mystery pin, keep going up and enter the room above for miracle. Take the current, follow the path for hi magic and take the current. Enter the next room for ex bomb and ex potion and go back east. Go up the second corridor, stay above the current and go under the next current you see. Follow it and get magic guard; now take it to get power gourd. Go back up the current, go up the corridor and follow it to get grand blade and the eddy out.

 Just navigate west to get back outside. Land west and follow the upper mountain range up until a poison marsh. Cross it and go down to the cave.

Dungeon: Oil Cave

Walk east to open the door and follow the path; get 850 gold and dragon arrow. Go down the rope ladder and cross the marsh to hi bomb, and go down the next one to get dragon tooth. Go down the next ladder and go NE to get big arrow before going up a long ladder. Get miracle and go back down to a poison marsh. Get the hi magic here  and the dragon ring further down. Go all the way around the “lake” and go downstairs. Go down the rope ladder and follow the path NW to get dragon tooth. Go under the bridge, to the NE to get hi potion, walk past the stairs going down and get swing wing.  Go back under the bridge, cross it and follow the path NE to get ex bomb. Cross the bridge south, get hi magic west of the rope ladder and cross the bridge to your right. Follow the path to go downstairs and take the first rope ladder you see. Follow the path to a miracle and come back up. Go down the upper ladder to get dragon tooth; now take to other rope ladder. Go SE to get hi magic; go down the ladder to get great potion and walk towards the dragon to fight it.

Boss fight: Oil Dragon

As always, drain its defense. It will cast oily air to slow you down and fire air (can be reflected by Mirror). Just hit it hard to finish it, and get the power oil behind it when you’re done.

Exit the cave and warp back to Frederia. Go talk to Shaia, and once you’re done you will be able to fly! Why not take advantage of it to finish you quest in the Old Cave? Surely someone is at level 30!

Dungeon: Old Cave, level 7

You will face the same enemies Maxim did in the Fortress. Anyway, get nothing, sweet water and gloom pick and nothing in the marsh. Cross the marsh to get ex potion and nothing and enter the room just above. Cross the marsh, get gloom voice in the NE corner of it and go downstairs. Follow the path down (always down) to get nothing; go back up for hi magic. Keep walking up and go right for power potion, ex magic and nothing. Keep walking left for spell potion and nothing; go upstairs. Take buster sword and nothing and enter the room. Get nothing, climb the rope and take crown jewels and miracle *2. Go back here  (the lower chest had nothing) and keep walking down to go upstairs. Go up the rope ladder for ex potion, nothing and float. Enter the room, go NE for a great potion and keep walking up for float and nothing. Walk right for nothing, follow the path for mind potion and go up the ladder for nothing. Go upstairs, take miracle, go down, take clear silk, keep going down and go SE for nothing *2. Enter the room for wind flute, go back out and west. Take nothing, ex potion and go upstairs. Go NW for miracle, go back east for nothing and ex magic. Go up the ladder, take power potion, spell potion and nothing. Escape the cave and get your reward.

PART 5.1.1: TREASURE HUNTING 1

Now take the advantage of your flight capacity to hunt for some dragon eggs. Warp to Herat and fly SW. Enter the small temple you see and talk with the dragon. I recommend getting a Might shield. Now hunt for the next 8 eggs. They are in: Alekia Castle (treasure room, accessible from the NE corner of the top floor), Belgen (in the cave next to the church), Cave of Dais Key (go downstairs twice), the cave NW of Linze (across a marsh), Elba Island (at the bottom of the rope ladders), southern underwater cave near Soshette (here ), oil cave (2^nd basement, across the 2^nd bridge up) and in Tower northwest of Grenoble (top of the tower). But when you get these eggs, don’t go back to the dragon just yet. Instead resume your mission

PART 5.2: LUFIA OUT, ERIM IN

From Epro, fly north until you reach Glasdar Tower (you will start moving uncontrollably). From there fly east to reach the last village.

Village: Aurubus

The inn has spell potion. Make sure you buy all the zirco gear you can afford (even a sword for the hero). Enter the hole in the ground above the weapon shop to get pear cider and plum cider. When you’re done fly north, avoiding going too near Glasdar Tower and enter the cave north (surrounded by sand).

Dungeon: Cave to Glasdar Key

Follow the path, take hi potion, cross the next bridge and skip the stairs going down. Take the ladder, walk left to hi bomb, SE from there to gloom arrow and down a ladder to smoke ball. Walk SW to magic guard and back up to the rope ladder. Walk NW up a ladder and NW some more for great potion. Go to the stairs you missed and take them. Take the very first room you see, follow the path, take mind potion and go back to enter the 2^nd room. Follow the path, go left after the 2^nd ladder and take miracle. Keep going down to another miracle and come back east to go down another ladder. Enter the room to lower the switch, exit it and walk west to get miracle and come back to the first room. Go to the warp, take spell potion, go downstairs and take the Glasdar Key, power potion and gloom guard.

Warp outside and fly south (remaining between the mountains where you are) to get to your next cave.

Dungeon: Cave to Glasdar Tower

Follow the path, take the ex bomb right of a small lake and the black ring in the room on the left. Come back out, take the ex arrows above the poison field, which contains spell potion here . The room below has both healing panels; take as needed and take the room above. As you follow the path, take the first rope ladder you see; there is a stone cure NE of it. Go up another ladder, enter the room and follow the path; enter the room above a “lake” to get hi magic. Go up the long ladder, follow the path (taking sonic heels) and take smoke ball once you exit the room. Enter the next room for hi potion, exit and go down 2 ladders to get antidote. Go down one more level, walk right and go up a long ladder. After the second one walk right to enter a room with great potion. Take the miracle on your right, the gloom arrow down a short ladder on your right and up a long ladder for ex arrows. Go up a ladder to enter a room, take miracle *2 and another miracle here . Come back to the main cave, go down 2 ladder towards the SW and get ex bomb on the far left. Go down the ladder for dragon arrow, go up the ladder towards a room and walk up (either room) to big arrow and ex potion. Go down two levels, walk right to get mind gourd and go back to the chest against the wall. Go up the ladder, up another ladder into a room and follow the path to exit the cave. Just walk up straight to reach the tower.

Dungeon: Glasdar Tower

(Note that you have until the top of the tower to level up Lufia. After that you will only have her for the very last battle).

 The left room when you enter has hi potion and the right one has ex bomb. Go back down the red carpet, go upstairs and enter the first room you see for big arrow. Go back out, go to the room straight above you and walk left (it’s an infinite corridor). Follow the path right to ex arrows, come back and walk down the path on your left to go upstairs. The room on your right has power gourd and mind gourd, the one on your left has revive and the one above goes into another infinite corridor (walk left). Go SE for revive, go SW from there into a room to go upstairs, follow the path to ex bomb and go into the room down for gloom arrow. Go into the next room down, follow the path to gloom ring and miracle and come back to the room you missed (where you got out of the second infinity corridor). Follow the path, go SW to antidote and follow the path down to go upstairs. Enter the room to the NW, follow the path, enter the room in the SE and warp to a MP restoring pad on your right. Warp back, enter the left room and walk up. Go directly beyond the “buttons” to warp to miracle.

Leap down, always walk up, walk left in the infinity corridor, follow the path SW,  walk up, left in the infinity corridor, enter the room due south, follow the path, enter the room NE, follow the path, walk SW, NW, follow the path, enter the room due south and walk straight up.

Press the switch on the far right to warp to stun arrow. Follow the previous text in italics, press the reset switch and press switch 2 and 3. Warp to miracle, go straight up, follow the path and loot the room: spell potion, mind potion, miracle*4, revive, speed potion, great potion and power potion. Leap in the hole you encountered, walk up, enter the room NE and follow the rest of the italics. Press reset, press the second switch and warp. Follow the path around the hole, walk up straight and be ready to fight. Jerin was at level 45.

Boss fight: Nazeby

As always, drain its defense and cast Mirror. It can cast bolt, spark, frost, flame, mirror, succumb and Vulcan. He shouldn't’t be much of a hassle. After a scene leap down from the tower and warp to Arubus to empty your inventory.

PART 5.2.1: TREASURE HUNT

Go back to the dragon temple to get another might shield. The next (and last) set of eggs are in: Sheran castle (throne room), East Cave (by left entrance), Old Cave (level 7, take the rope ladder NE of the entrance, walk to the far right, go down a rope ladder, go downstairs in the poison field), purple newt cave (down 2 rope ladders towards SE and SE a little more until you see it), cave to Glasdar key (downstairs, in the second room, flick the switch and enter the first room), cave to Glasdar Tower  (enter the room SW next to the poison field, up two consecutive ladders, up the long ladder and follow the path),  Glasdar Tower (switch room, press 2 and 3) and Linze (first basement of house on promontory). Go back to the dragon temple and get your last wish granted (get a Might Bow if you want Jerin to be an attacker).

PART 5.3: THE END

Warp to Arus on you boat, fly NW and enter Doom Island. Fly right, land on the yellow spot and walk towards the “temple”… where the old man is. Heal up (and save), exit by the back and make you way to the top.

Final Dungeon: Fortress of Doom

(Refer to Maxim’s run of the dungeon for all the treasures). After Dual Blade is restored, you will have the opportunity to heal if necessary. Walk up to start your fighting. Jerin at level 46 should do

Boss fight: Gades

Have Jerin boost your attacker’s strength. Watch out for undead (increases his attack). Stay healthy and you will get rid of him in no time. Walk up some more for the next fight.

Boss fight: Amon

When Jerin isn’t casting Mirror she should cast Trick. Amon can cast sunder, dread, flood and chaos (confuses). After disposing of him heal and walk up.

Boss fight: Daos

Same strategy as against Amon. Daos can cast thunder, glacier, vulcan, amnesia (forget spells?), stronger and dread. After the fight (without a pause), get ready for the final battle.

Final Boss: Guard Daos

Having Mirror is vital for this fight to avoid figual (confusion; shriek can cure that or attacking yourself). He can cast flood. As always, drain his defense; when it’s low enough have Lufia cast thunder. It’s going to be long – don’t be afraid to use all those miracles – but you can do it.

Enjoy the final scene. Afterwards you can do a “new game +” game where you earn 4x as much experience per battle.
