Kashuon Castle

Before you head to Kashuon, buy Guy
and Maria the Life spell. Make sure all
3 attack spells are at least Level 2. To get
to Kashuon, either have Cid take you on
the Airship, or head southeast from Bofsk
to the big circle of mountains. Head east
and find the gap in the mountains, where
you can head west to another circle of
mountains and Kashuon Castle. Save and
enter.
Monsters here so far are about the same
as before. Use the Goddess Bell at the
door to unlock it. Go forward a bit and
you will run into Gordon. He says that he
was trying to find the Egil Torch but the
monsters are too strong. He joins the
party. Gordon is quite weak, and will not
fare well here. Exit the castle and walk
directly south to a Chocobo Forest. Grab
one and ride it back to Altea.
Buy Gordon a Mithril Spear and a Silver
Armor. This is a good chance to do some
leveling up. Use low level magic on
Gordon (your attacks will be too much
for him) to get his HP up. This will also
level up your magic a bit. Work
everybody's HP to above 350, and
Gordon's Spear attack to at least level 2.
When ready, have Frioniel re-equip the
Mithril Sword (accuracy will be important)
rest, and head back to Kashuon.
Go back to where you found Gordon.
Continue and take the stairs to the other
side of the first floor. Right will take you to
a Cure book (give this to Gordon). Go
left and take the stairs up. From here on,
monsters get tougher. You will run into a
few Land Turtles. Take care of them with
Ice3. From the stairs, go down and right
and work you way around to the stairs,
grabing the 300 G on your way.
Work your way around to the middle
area with the columns. Take the 2nd
path leading down to get the Gold Shield,
which is guarded by Warerats. Kill them
and give the Gold Shield to Frioniel. Head
back to the middle area and take the last
path leading down on the right and follow
to the stairs leading up.
Take a left from there and go down to the
first room you see. There are 3 chests
with a Mithril Sword/Axe, and a Were
Cane. Grab them and head from there,
up and left. Ignore the door and head
down and take the stairs going up again.
Go up and take a right. Follow and take
the first down to this chest with a Gold
Armor inside, which is guarded by Mines.
Kill the Mines with Fire2 or Bolt2 and
give the Gold Armor to Maria and her
Mithril Armor to Gordon. Go down from
there and take a left to the stairs going
back down to the 4th floor.
Take the door to the left and walk to the
guardian of the Egil Torch, the Red Soul.
This boss can be a bit tough, but not
really. All his magic are Level 8, but
they shouldn't do too much. Your magic
and normal attacks don't do much, but
stick with normal. Heal when needed, and
after about 4 spells, he will have no more
MP, and his normal attacks are nothing.
Keep attacking and the Egil Torch will
soon be yours.
Walk back down to the first floor. Use
the Egil Torch on the Sun Flame to
recieve it. You step outside and you will
notice Cid's Airship is being chased by
the Warship. Head back to Altea via
Chocobo. Talk to Mihn and he will say
that Princess Hilda wanted to visit the
part at Kashuon and went with Cid and
the Airship, but was taken prisoner by
the Empire. The Warship landed north of
Phin for repairs. Now is your chance!
