Epsis Continent

Patos

Items: Charred Newt (2), Potion (2), Hi Potion (2), Hi Magic, Revive, Goddess Tear, Life Seed, Dagger, Res Ring, Dragon Egg

At the beginning of the game, you watch the arrival of Seena, a woman adventurer of very unusual behaviour. When you can control Wain, search the whole village, especially Lamika's house, the fountain and the shop (use the backdoor). Then go out and kill some Red Jellies if you want. When you return to the village (or pass to the left of the sign at the entrance), suddenly an evil force will attack from the nearby Tower of Death. Lamika's house is struck by lightning and catches fire.

Wain doesn't hesitate to save Lamika, but then he collapses. Fortunately Seena takes care of him. The next morning both decide to go on an adventure and find out what's happening.

Patos Cave

Items: Wake Ring, Goddess Tear, Magic Pot, Potion, Boomerang, Jet Ring, Miracle, Antidote

To the right there is a little training dungeon. Old man Ibla explains you the battle mechanics and fighting skills like the Wave attack. Listen carefully and be sure to open all chests - you won't come here a second time. When you are finished, you can go back to Patos and save, or head straight to the Tower of Death.

Tower of Death (1)

Floors: 10 (you can only access 5 at this point)
Ancient Text (1-5): Drive, Head Crush, First Aid, Bolt Attack
Items: BoltBoomer, Miracle

When you enter the tower, Ibla comes after you. He gives you "Drive", your first Ancient Text, and explains you the use of Spiritual Force.

This time you can only go to 5F, where you meet GADES, the Sinistral of Destruction. He is far too strong for you (although it's theoretically possible to beat him if you have many Hi Bombs and a good bit of luck - you'll get the Gades Bracelet if you do). So leave the tower and head west, straight through Laphoon Cave, to Albano. (You can also go north to Majari and do some shopping if you want.)

Albano

Items: Potion, Goddess Tear, Croquette, Mind Seed, Skill Seed, Wisdom Seed, Miracle(3), Hi Bomb, Awake, Sonic Ring

To the north is the house of Fugo, a rich guy. When you go near it, you will watch Fugo chasing a thief who escapes. Enter the house, talk to Fugo (and everyone else, of course) and agree to find the chief. He has run to Slani (or: Sulani) Cave.

Slani Cave

Floors: 12 (you can access 5 at this point)
Ancient Text (B1-B5): Concentrate , Cooking, Holy Attack
Items: Gold 100, Revive, Goddess Tear, Bomb

Go southwest and enter the cave. In B5 you find Dei, the Master Thief. But he escapes while Wain and Seena are quarreling, so you can't do anything but leave the cave. In Albano you here a rumor that the thief is hiding in Majari, so head north.

Majari

Items:Charred Newt, Hi Potion, X-potion, Magic Pot, Antidote(2), Angry Ring, Life Seed, Speed Seed, Body Seed, Hi Bomb

No sign of the thief - but when you try to leave the village, a monster named BELUMIE attacks. Suddenly Dei shows up and helps you to defeat it.

Unfortunately the monster was Fugo's pet. Fugo shows up very angry and arrests Dei. His friend Kobin asks you to save him. He gives you the Dash Attack.

Fugo's Basement

Floors: 7
Ancient Text: Lock On, Dash Attack, Instinct
Items: Bug Crush, Miracle, Gold 100, X-Potion, Hi Magic, X-Magic, Life Seed, Leather Shld, Trick Ring

Return to Albano and check the bookshelves in Fugo's mansion. You will find a secret door that leads to a dungeon. In B7 you have to fight BELAMIE to save Dei, who joins your party.

When you exit the mansion, GADES appears and destroys Fugo's new house. You still can't defeat him. (If you manage to beat him nevertheless, you'll get the Gades Blade.)

Now you can ask Gantz, the architect, to rebuild Lamika's house, but he will need a certain wood which you can't get yet (see Sidequests). You can also earn a Dragon Egg if you save Lurissa's father in Laphon Cave. When you're finished here, go northwest, straight through Broffo Cave, to the port town Siantao. You can visit Leong Temple first (later it'll be destroyed).

Leong

Items: Miracle, Croquette, Mind Seed, Power Seed, FireBoomer, ConfuPowder, Sanity Ring

Siantao

Items: Hi Potion, X-Potion, X-Magic (2), Goddess Tear, Antidote, Small Boomer, X-Bomb (2), Speed Seed, Wisdom Seed, Skill Seed, Mind Seed, Power Seed, Poison Ring

When you go behind the house to the east of the church, you'll see the Garland Gang threaten a girl. Before you can help her, Aima, a female karate fighter appears and they flee. But she rushes off to Leong shrine when she hears that it's on fire. Follow her north. You find out that the shrine is destroyed and Aima's master has been kidnapped. Aima joins your party, and they head west, over the bridge, to the Gang's Hideout.

Gang's Hideout

Floors: 7
Ancient Text: Blind, Accurate, Seal Palm, Assassinate
Items: Charred Newt, Revive (2), Life Seed, Fake Ring, Boomerang

Defeat the guards at the entrance and descend into the cave. At B7 you will fight the GARLAND BOSS. Ignore his guards and concentrate all your attacks on him. With the prison key you can free Aima's master.

When you return to Siantao, Gades has destroyed the town. The master dies in the attempt to defeat him. He gives Aima the Energy Punch. Now head back to the Tower of Death for the final confrontation with Gades.

Tower of Death (2)

Floors: 10
Ancient Text (6-10): Silhouette, Pause Palm, Persuade, Fire Attack
Items: Coldrapier

This time, you can go all the way up to 10F and defeat GADES (at last!). Back in Siantao, the town is still in ruins, but you can shop and rest in the inn. Now take the ship and leave to Lidal continent.
