Rescue the Prince
Actually, before you go to Ruval, you need to do some shopping. First of all, you'll want some magic for your magic users. Buy Feel for your Priest and Flame for your Mage. Although you can buy better spells, I don't recommend it, because you won't need it for a while.
If one of your party members is doing a job (the waitress job) wait around for her either by saving contiually at the Inn or by wandering around outside for a while. I recommend the Inn one, only because it's only 6g to spend the night.
Note: If you started the game with a Mage or Priest, then you won't need to buy those spells, you should already have them. Now that all four of your characters are with you head up to Rarm. Once your there, you'll want to buy the following things:
- Priest, Mage:
- Ancient Staff
- Silk Cloak
- Magic Bracelet
- Leather Helm
You should have the best equipment for everybosy else, so buy those, and make sure you sell your useless equipment and fill up on herbs. Now, head north to the town of Nazaal.
Note: Since I started out with a theief, I'm not sure which characters you'll pick up in Rarm if you picked another class, so if you need to, check the Section 1 of the walkthrough to see what to buy.
Now that we're in Nazaal, we need to do something totally different. Go outside the town and battle until you have enough money to buy the best equipment! Here is a list (by the way, that's called sarcasim):
- Fighter, Knight, Thief:
- Chain Armor
- Iron Helm (only fighter and knight)
- Iron Sword (only fighter)
- Iron Spear (only knight)
Note: If you have some extra money to spend before you leave, buy the Pois-c for your priest (if you have one), it'll come in handy later.
Once, you're in the cave, follow the path until you see a guard. He'll tell you to follow the coast, but not no enter the forest. Head all the way to the exit (don't worry, there's no enemies here). Once you're back outside, go all the way north, along he coastline (making sure not to enter the forest) until you find another cave. Follow the cave to the exit and head west to the capital of Ruval.
As you can see, Ruval is in ruins and the people are starving. Apparently, Prince Levin has been kidnapped and the kidnappers have taken the city's food and money as ransom, but yet, no Levin. Our job here, then is to rescue the Prince and restore Ruval to its former glory.
Our first order of buisness is to head over to the guild, which is what you should always do when you enter a new town (after saving, of course). But, alas, there is only one guy here and he won't join you, and there are no jobs, so head on over to the Weapons shop. We have some major leveling up/purchasing to do, so you'll be here for a while. Buy the following things for your party members:
- Fighter, Knight or Thief:
- Iron Shield
- Mage, Bishop, Shaman or Priest:
- White Cloak
- Silver Bracelet
- Red Crystal (Shaman only)
Okay, now head out of town and train all your characters to level 9. I know it's a lot, but the experience and money will come in handy later. Also, when your health gets low, feel free to abuse the inn, it's really cheap here. This especially helps when fighting ghosts.
After all your shopping and leveling up is done, head out of town to the west. But, before your leave, make sure you're stocked up on Herbs. Make your way south along the coast all the way to the city of Ripona. On your way there, make sure you don't enter the desert, and just to be safe, don't go into the forest either. Buy this stuff when you get there:
- Thief: Steel Bow
After this, level up to 10 and we'll move on. Head west, once again avoiding the desert and the forest. You might notice a little tower in a valley to the south; if you enter there, the guards will tell you that you need the king of Ruval's permission to pass. Bah. Well, we'll come back later.
Keep on keepin' on..... west until you see a cave, this is Ruval cave; enter it. Beware, though, the enemies are buff here and if you don't have the Pois C spell, you'll be dead sooner than you can say "Baran is a Knight in Fairy Land!".
Anyway, go a little south and at the intersection go west. Ignore the stairs here and continue west until another intersection, head south. When you hit the bottom go east and open the chest for 347g and head back all the way west. Go down the stairs to the south. Follow the corridor east and at the intersection keep on going east, then go north, west and go down the stairs there. Follow this hallway until you see two sets of stairs, go down the second one, the one to the west. Go around an up the stairs to another simple room, and go up once again. Another chest yay! Get the Flame Staff and equip it on you mage (if you have one).
Now, backtrack all the way to the room in the pic and this time head north. You're now back at the beggining of the cave; you might want to head back to Ripona now to restock on herbs and save your game (I always do).
This time, head west to the intersection and go west this time, follow the path north to the stairs. Follow this corridor around and go down this set of stairs. Go west until the stairs and then follow the corridor around to the stairs to enter the last area of the cave, and..... TA DA! The first boss battle!
Because of the nature of this game's battles, I can't really put a strategy here, so just make sure you're healed up before you fight. Actually this fight is really easy, it shouldn't be a problem. Strangely, although the kidnappers were here, the bounty is gone and the Prince is nowhere to be seen. Anyway, search the chests for an Iron Shield, and head all the way back to Ripona. Save here and then move on to Ruval. Once there, you'll hear that the Prince is back and that a man in black rescued him.... we'll have to investigate that later. For now go to the castle and talk to the Queen, who gives you her horse as payment for helping rescue the Prince and for returning the gold necklace which was a gift from Meldi.
The King asks you to help in the rebuilding of the city, he also tells you that to do so, you need to aply at the guild. Go to the guild now and recruit the guy there, and then use him to do the job, you'll lose him for a while, though, so only pick someone you don't care about losing. Now, we move on to bigger things... anyway on to section 3!
