Lidal Continent
Caan
Items: Potion, Antidote, Miracle, Body Seed, Undead Ring, IceBoomer, DeathPowder, Dragon Fang, Mind Seed
You arrive at the port town of Caan. There is not much to do, so exit to the north. Suddenly an old knight appears and says something about saving a princess. Seena wants to hold him back because he is badly hurt, but Wain lets him go. After some arguing the party decides to follow him. Go to the Deserted Lighthouse in the north.
(Note: If you enter the Item Shop through the back door, you can buy some very rare items.)
Deserted Lighthouse
Floors: 11
Ancient Text: F. Barrier, Dark Sword, Scatter Hit, Cure
Items: Ghost Ring, Revive, X-Magic
At 6F you see Randolph, the old knight, being attacked by the TOWER SNAKE. While Seena takes care of him, the others defeat the monster. Randolph joins your party.
At the top of the tower, you find Princess Melphis fighting the DEVIL GROME. (She sure isn't the ordinary type of captured, helpless princess :-) Of course you help her. After the battle she also joins.
Melphis has been driven out of Alstadt, her kingdom, by the evil minister Deraf. She wants to return and find out what's going on, so head southeast, straight through Tomis Cave, to the village of Tomis.
Tomis
Items: Potion, X-Potion, Magic Pot, Revive, Wisdom Seed, Small Boomer, Lucky Earring, Sanity Ring
The people tell you that all ships are attacked by pirates. Should there be a connection to the mysterious events in Alstadt Kingdom? You buy a ferry ticket, take a boat trip and are attacked soon enough. After Aima takes care of the first pirates, you can enter their ship.
Pirates' Ship
Floors: 5
Ancient Text: Charge, DoubleKick, Ice Attack, Split Attk
Items: Bolt Boomer, Life Seed, Power Seed, Skill Seed, Wisdom Seed, Chill Ring,
Dragon Fang
Check out your own ship first - there is a Healing point. Then descend into the Pirates' ship.
After you have slept in one of the beds at B5 and saved your game, you have to defeat the PIRATES HEAD. The two pirates assisting him run away after each round, so concentrate all your attacks on the boss. When you want to return to your own ship, Deckard, the noble pirate, shows up. He mistakes you for pirates and attacks you, but you will return to Tomis safely.
Apparently you have to find the pirate's headquarter. Keit, the boy in the ticket office, says that you can lead you there, so take another trip on the ferry and go to Pirate's Island.
Pirates' Hideout
Floors: 15
Ancient Text: Charge, DoubleKick, Ice Attack, Split Attk
Items: Potion, Hi Potion, X-Potion (2), Goddess Tear (2), Speed Seed, Wisdom Seed, Giant Ring,
Wizard Ring, Miracle, Wing Ring, Skill Seed, Smart Ring, Dragon Egg
You leave Keit behind to guard the boat and descend into the dungeon. At B10 you see three treasure chests, but when you try to reach them, you fall into a trap. The pirate boss shows up, takes Melphis with him and lets the DEVIL ALLIGATOR loose on you. After you defeat it (it's a rather weak boss), enter the cage, where you will find a teleporter that carries you to the chests you couldn't reach before.
Proceed to B15 where you'll fight the PIRATE BOSS. Use the same strategy as for the Pirate Head. When you return to your boat, you'll find out that he has beaten down Keit and escaped. Of course you take up the pursuit. Deckard shows up again, and this time he helps you. You have to fight another boss, the BIG SQUIDO. Finally you can return to Tomis.
(Note: If you want to visit Pirate's Island later in the game, you must arrive by ship, not flying.)
Copley Forest
Sections: 8
Ancient Text: TyphoonToss, Stealth Hit
Items: Good Wood
To reach your next goal, the Tower of Illusion, you have to cross Copley Forest. After a while Seena notices that you apparently go around in circles. After an argument with Wain, she runs away. You find her some screens ahead, together with a monster. This isn't an enemy, but Mousse, your next party member.
In the last screen there is a big tree standing alone. Check it to find the Good Wood (see Sidequests).
When you exit the forest, you can go directly to the tower, but I recommend to head north to the village of Cobe. There you can rest, buy new equipment and learn some magic.
From this point on, you can visit Maqurine in Copley Forest and try her sidequest (see Sidequests). It's a good chance to raise your levels, since you'll have to fight some difficult bosses very soon.
Cobe
Items: Charred Newt, X-Magic, Revive, Silent Powder, Power Seed, Speed Seed, Weird Ring, Wizard Ring
Tower of Illusion (1)
Floors: 15 (you can access 10 at this point)
Ancient Text (1-10): R.Blade, Vital Aim, Cure Force
Items: Life Seed, Absorber, Sanity Ring
At 10F you'll find a huge cannon and have to fight GENERAL DOHL. After you defeat him, he tells you that thr Ultra Weapon has already been transferred to the Castle. Head to Alstadt Kingdon in the west (beyond the bridge). When you notice that you can't enter, Melphis suggests to sneak in from the sea.
Return to Cobe and try to find a boat. Nicky (the boy at the port) agrees to take you to the castle. At sea you are attacked, but finally Deckard helps you to defeat the BATTLESHIP. He joins your party at last.
Alstadt Dungeon / Alstadt Kingdom
Floors: 11
Ancient Text: Grounder, FalconDance
Items: Potion, Hi-Potion, Big Boomer, Boltboomer, Hi Bomb, X-Bomb (2), Revive,
Goddess Tear (2), Miracle (2), Life Seed, Wisdom Seed, Mind Seed (2),
Skill Seed, Protect Ring, Sanity Ring, Witch Ring, Crown
You have to sneak in through the dungeon. At the entrance you'll find a guard who sells weapons and a priest who can heal you and save your game. Make your way up to the top, search the castle (you can sleep in Melphis' bed) and fight DERAF. When he escapes, follow him and defeat the ULTRA WEAPON. Then you'll witness the appearance of Amon, the sinistral of Chaos, who turned Deraf evil and sowed distrust among the people. He'll wait for you in the Tower of Illusion.
Tower of Illusion (2)
Floors: 15
Ancient Text (11-15): Holy Sword, FinalDance, Jump Slash
Go up to 15F and confront AMON. He can confuse you with his Spiritual Force of Chaos, so make sure to equip Sanity rings! After he is defeated, head back to Alstadt Kingdom. You'll find out some interesting facts about Deckard's past, and from now on you have your own ship!
Sail to the east. If you want to, you can challenge the Ancient Cave now (it's located between Lidal and Fante continent). You can also explore Fante continent (in Tanba or Mologoro you can buy very strong, but expensive equipment). But your next goal is Elcorano, the first town you see when you reach Fante continent.
