RPGClassics.com - Phantasy Star IV

	Go to Gumbious Temple just to the north of Jut. Talk to the head priest to ask for the Eclipse Torch. He refuses to let you have it, so taking the advantage, 3 men appear and steal the Torch, saying that they are from the Air Castle (if you followed Phantasy Star I, then you know who lives in the Air Castle). In case you do not know, Rune says that a man named Lashiec lives in the Air Castle. Chaz agrees to go get it if the head priest lets them use it. He agrees. Wren has to go to the Spaceport
Either way, go Southwest from Jut in the Ice Digger to go to the Weapon Plant. This place is totally optional, but inside are some good stuff for Wren. Elastic Gear and Armor, Plasma Launcher, and an unlimited supply of Repair Kits in the teminal.
	Make sure to also grab this. This is the Burst Rocket unit for Wren. It is pretty strong, so do not leave here without it. Now go to the Spaceport.
Once at the Spaceport, Wren says that he has picked up something. And for sure, it is the Air Castle. Rest up and take off for the Air Castle, the longest part of the game. Once on, Wren checks gravity and atmosphere, which are alright. The Air Castle is confusing, and full of deadly monsters.
	When you get here, go right. Just continue to go in that direction. This place may be big, but you cannot get lost in it. If you hit a dead end, just try again. You should eventually get to the loft in this room. There are plenty of treasures here to grab, so make sure to grab them all.
Before hitting the bridge on the left side, go down the stairs and grab the Swift Helmet for Chaz. Now go across the bridge and into the first door for a Genocyde Claw for Rika. Switch it for the Thunder Claw. Continue going on.
	Once you reach here, go in that door and heal at the Healing Pad. On the other door in that room leads to that invisible barrier again, at the front. Go in the door above the door in the picture. You will see another invisible barrier. Continue on.
When you come here, take a left. Continue from there. You cannot get lost again. There are a few stairways that lead to treasure (mostly on the loft). Take the stairway in the room on the right. Also, make sure by now that Rune has Efess. Do not go any further if he does not. Under Macro 'B', put: Wren - Burst Rocket, Kyra - Flaeli, Rune - Efess, Chaz - Crosscut, and Rika - Star Mist/Deban/GiSar (if she has it by now).
	Now enter these doors. Heal up with Dimates. Talk to the 3 men in there and they will attack.
This is the toughest fight I have ever faced. I have 2 ways of winning this fight. 1: Use Macro 'B' one time and then hit them with your best attacks, or 2: Use Deban and Barrier, and kill them off 1 at a time. Your best bet it #2. If all 3 of them live, then they will hit you with Thunder Blast. Also, Chaz's Rayblade will come in handy here. GiZan is another to worry about. They each have 1500 HP (add them together to get how many HP Dark Force had). Once they are dead, go behind them and heal at the Healing pad. Use Hinas and save in Dezoris.
	Now there is no more invisble barrier. Just a little bit more to go. This next part is like a maze, and the Chaos Sorcerer from the Shuttle makes a return. If you would like to figure out this puzzle, find a map of the Phantasy Star I Air Castle (this part is similar to it).
When you get here, you will find a fake Eclipse Torch, and it will turn into a Spector. Kill it and Lachiec will appear and attack.
	If you still have Macro 'B', use it right off. Make sure Rika is open to use GiSar or a Star Dew (do not use to many if you can help it). Kyra's Medice will come in handy too. All of Lashiec's attacks are strong so Rika will be in constant use. Here is how I defeated him: Wren - Burst Rocket/attack, Chaz - Ray Blade/Crosscut/NaThu (by now, he should have it), Rune - NaFoi, Kyra - Hewn (if you are lucky, Fire Storm or Shooting Star might happen to do more damage. When Lashiec is nearly done, he will use Reinforce. Finish him off after that.
After killing Lashiec, Rika jumps to grab the Eclipse Torch from Lashiec. Lashiec melts and the Air Castle starts to fall apart. The gang hops into the Landale and goes to Dezoris. They end up back in Gumbious Temple with the head priest thanking them for saving it, and allowing them to use it.
	Rest up and head to the Garuberk Tower. Chaz will use the Eclipse Torch and burn away the Carnivorous Trees, meaning the Garuberk Tower is now open.
