	Once you are ready, head southwest from Phin. The monsters here are much tougher than any you have faced so far, but all your powers combined should make quick work of it. Once you get to a lake, go across it and head directly south to reach Mysidia. If you still cannot find it, look at the world map in the Maps section.
Mysidia is awesome. Time to upgrade equipment again. Buy an Ogre Axe for Guy and an Ice Bow for Maria (but have her hang onto the Flame Bow in her inventory). Buy Frioniel an Ice Shield and give the Flame Shield to Layla. There is also a Magic shop with every magic spell in the game up to Mysidia, and 4 more spells. Get Frioniel, Maria, and Guy the Holy spell and Level it up to 4. Also if you want, buy the Change spell.
	Head to the stairs and place the White Mask on the statue inside. You need to do this so that you can advance when you get to the Mysidia Cave for the Crystal Rod. However, you also need the Black Mask. Rest up before continuing.
Hop on the ship and sail around the strait and head south to the small island (you can use the Select+B trick to get a map image). It is a bit tough to find. Once you get there, go inside the cave. There is nothing good on the first floor, as far as treasures are concerned. Go down from the entrance and head left to the end of the path. Head up and at the fork, head up again and follow to the stairway going down.
	On this floor are 2 books of the last elemental spell in the game, Aero. One is located at the northeast corner and the other is located at the south central part of the floor. Give them to Frioniel and Maria and start to Level them up to Level 4. There are also 2 Blind books here, which are good to sell for some cash. Take the stairs at the center of the floor to continue.
Go right and around and take the stairs there. On the 4th floor, head to the northeast corner and take the stairs going down to the bottom floor. Grab the Sleep book to the right and head left towards the middle room. Enter and inside is the guard of the Black Mask, a Big Horn. Seeing as though you fight these around Mysidia, one should not be a problem. Kill it, grab the Black Mask, and take the warp behind it to the outside.
	Rest up and from Mysidia, head east past the southern mountain chain. Once you have passed it, go around the mountains and into the cave in the middle, the Mysidia Cave. Enter and grab the chest containing a Black Armor in the middle right section. Give it to Frioniel and his Knight Armor to Maria. Also grab the Goldpin Helmet at the western section and give it to Guy.
Head to the southwest section and place the Black Mask on the Doppelganger to remove it. Take the door and go down the stairs. Grab the Power Staff and the Flame Spear (false wall in northeast area), and then take the door in the southwest corner and take the stairs down. On this floor are an Ice Bow (northwest side behind false wall), and an Ogre Axe (on path to stairs, guarded by monsters). Take the door on the west area and take the stairs.
	Make your way to the east area and take the door at the southeast corner. Ignoring the treasures in this area (unless you want the money, which you will have to find a false wall to get to the chests) head to the door on the northwest corner and grab the Crystal Rod have have Guy cast Exit. Return to Mysidia and sell anything you found in that cave but are not using. Rest up. Now it is time to head to the Mysidia Tower.
