Pirates and the Red Ring

	Once you exit the Ancient Tower, collect any Gasha Nuts that you can. Head to Horon Village and go down the stairs at 16-H. Guide the Magic Boomerang over to the switch to make a bridge appear to the portal. Go into the portal to Subrosia.
Go down the stairs twice and talk to the captain. He asks that you find his bell. Go upstairs and talk to the pirate on the right. Remember the order that he opens the cabnets in. With that said, head back to Horon through the portal and go to the Eastern Suburbs. Go south the very first thing and then east.
	Talk to the pirate and he will leave. Now if you remember the order of the cabnet opening, then you will do fine. Else, I guess I have to bail you out. Press the 3rd block twice, 2nd block once, 1st block twice, and the 4th block 3 times. That will open the way to the Samasa Desert. This place is pretty tough, but nothing that can't be handled. A Quicksand Ring would be very good at this point.
Either way, head to 15-O. Enter the ship and talk to the ghost. He says that he died in a sandstorm looking for the bell. He said to find his skull and that he will help find the bell. Head northeast past the quicksand to find his skull at 12-P. Talk to it then pick it up with the Power Bracelet.
	There are a few places the bell could be. But they are all under the quicksand. With the Quicksand ring off, just enter the quicksand without falling. If the skull starts to chatter, then fall down that hole and the bell should be right there. Grab it and the skull will disappear. Exit the cave and head back to Subrosia via the Horon portal. Go to the Subrosian Smithy to have the bell polished. Tell them to "Do it!" and they will do it.
Take the bell back to the captain and he will take you to the ship. The ship charges through the barrier between worlds and out to the Sea of Holodrum. However, the pirates all get seasick so they port on the western coast, which now bridges the gap between the bridges. Now before you go on to level 7, there is one more thing you should do.
	Go to North Horon and change the season to Summer. Go to Gnarled Root and go down the ladder. Go down the stairs which are now revealed and talk to the man inside. He says to slay the 4 golden beasts and return to him so that he can give you his power.
Use a Gale Seed and warp to the Woods of Winter. Go to the stump and change the season to Autumn. Go to the entrance of Snake's Remains and there will be a Gold Moblin. Gold beasts take forever to kill. If you have it, equip the Power Ring L-2 and your Iron Shield. If it attacks, use the shield to block it. Spin attack a few times and the beast should die after a while.
	Warp to Tarm Ruins and go to the Lost Woods. Make your way to 5-C then change the season to Winter. Go to 5-D and meet the Gold Centaur. This one is tricky because the centaurs can shoot magic from their sword. Keep your distance and use spin attacks for your attack. Keep it up and after a while, another gold beast will be gone.
Warp to Spool Swamp and change the season to Summer. Make your way to the southern part of the swamp to 13-A. There you will meet a Gold Octorok. Same strategy here. Spin attack and block the attacks with the Iron Shield. This one shouldn't be too tough, but who knows. Once you kill it, you have 1 more to go.
	Warp to Horon Village and then go to the Western Coast. From the Pirate Ship, go north and through the house to the Stump. Change the season to Spring and head directly east of the Hero's Cave to 14-F. Here you will find a Gold Soldier. I find it easier to have him spot you and to hide behind the upper ledge and then just slash away. Or you could use the same strategy again. Either way, kill it.
Talk to the man again and he will give you a ring. Have it appraised and it will be a Red Ring. Immediatly equip it! This is the best ring in this game. When ready, go back to the western coast and change the season to summer. Head west and climb the vines and head north to the Explorer's Crypt.
